THOMAS Again Endorses Our Candidacy for the Republican Gubernatorial Nomination and Issues a Call to All to Help. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:—I am happy again to learn of your candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, and, since I know you Prof. Neval H. Thomas will have many expenses to meet in your campaign, and large sums of money to fight. I enclose the modest sum of ten dollars, and appeal to my black fellow countrymen all over the nation to send contributions, however small. It is a common cause we are fighting, and your splendid campaign in past years have taught us the importance of careful fitness of Afro-Americans being in any office, both appetitive and elective. You are one of the few of America's outstanding characters who have remained true to the great ideals of a once great party. You remain true to the Constitution of these United States, while the great mass of our American leaders have bowed the knee to Baal, and degenerated into time-seers, hypocrites, and noble public figures. Your Civil Rights law is one of the best pieces of legislation in the history of this country, and your Anti-lynching law is far ahead of the benighted states of America. I wish that our white statesmen, especially those posing under the banner of Lincoln, Sumner and Frederick Douglass could rise to your vision, patriotism, and loyalty to the public weal. Today these posers refuse to promise anything in their platform, embrace theagination far more than our ancient enemies do, ignore the merit system for the fast dwindling numbers of colored employees in the government, and hurdle the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments in hypocritical pretensions of enforcing the 18th. I know we can depend upon an outraged black citizenship to turn out at the polls on primary election day, and those outside of the state of Ohio to contribute their bit by helping to bear the expenses of your campaign. Sincerely yours, NEVAL H. THOMAS. FIRST BLACK AFRICAN PRIEST Visita Plus XI With the Bishop of Ethiopia, A Frenchman—The Pope Delighted. An unusual scene took place in the papal private apartments recently, reports La Croix, Catholic daily of Paris, France. The bishop of Ethiopia, a Frenchman, Mgr. Leopold, found a child named brought with him the first native to be ordained to the priesthood. The pope's interest in a native clergy is well known. Better one native priest than 10,000 converts under foreign missionaries, he declared once. The Ethiopian, seven feet tall, coal black, wore a snow-white robe. He was barefoot and clad in the corridors of the Vatican, he created an immense impression, which means something in an institution where astonishment at things seen is rare. When brought in the presence of the pontiff he knelt, but the pope, a little man himself, ran to meet him and raised him up. The Ethiopian wept. The holy father, probably rebellious, extermination of the early Ethiopian church, founded, it might be said, by St. Philip, on the road to Gaza, had his eyes dimmed with tears. The pope, who is an excellent linguist, as I was privileged to discover personally last year, inquired of Mgr. Leopold in which language he spoke. The pope, Mgr. Leopold advised Latin, "Latin!" exclaimed the pontiff, who is one of the world's ablest Latinists, and his eyes lighted up. For half SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS an hour the conversation proceeded in the language of Cicero. "But never." remarked the holy father afterward, "have I heard it pronounced so beautifully, melodiously." PASTOR AND TEACHER ARRESTED Pair Surprised in a Locked Auto Parked Five Miles From City—Bloomers, Comb and Towel in Auto—Pastor Preached Twice After Arrest and Conviction. WINSTON SALEM, N. C. Charged with disorderly conduct after a deputy sheriff testified that he found him in a compromising position with Lillie Mae Warmack, a local school teacher, the "Rev." Junius Hercules Thomas, pastor of the Baptist church, author of the Baptist state convention, was fined $50 and costs by Magistrate W. F. Byrd, June 29. Thomas, who was one of our leading ministers of the city and one of the best known in the state, entered a plea of guilty. Girl. Also Enters Guilty Plea. Miss Warmack, who for three years has been a teacher in the public schools here, also entered a plea of guilty to the disorderly conduct charge and judgment was continued for two years on payment of costs on condition that she be of good behaviour. She was tried jointly with Thomas. Deputy Sheriff Guy Scott, the judge, numbered the school teacher, testified that he arrested the couple on Route 65, about five miles from the city; caught them in a compromising position in the preacher's car. The officer testified further that the car was locked and the minister would not open it. He then asked the officer to car across a wheat field and escaped the officer for awhile, but was finally overtaken in the city near the girl's home. DEFUNCT BANK DIRECTOR SUICIDE Wayman Wilkerson Killed Himself in His Memphis Casket Co. Office —Was Treasurer of Big Fraternal Order. MEMPHIS, Tenn. —Wayman Wilkerson, a director of our defunct Solvent and Fraternal Bank and treasurer of the state grand lodge, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, committed suicide here, Sunday evening week. He shot himself in the office of the PIR State Casket and Coffin Co. of which he was secretary-manager, and which he and Thos. H. Hayes, also a convicted official of the bank, promoted ten years ago. $50,000 Shortage. Examination of the books of the defunct Solvent and Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Co., of which Wilkerson was chairman of the board of directors, showed that he had a shortage and overdraft of more than $90,000. Besides a personal overdraft of $1,500 his account as treasurer of Knights and Daughters of Tabor was overdrawn $28,000. The treasurer of the order who managed Wilkerson stated that instead of the $28,000 overdraft there should have been a balance of $60,000. Shortage Blamed. A shortage in the accounts of the state grand lodge of Knights of Tabor, of which the dead man was treasurer, is believed to be the direct employer of the insurance examiner, came to Memphis, June 25, to audit the books of the grand lodge, and Wilkerson's worry over the shortage and tangled affairs of the Tri-State Casket and coffin of the drive have driven him to kill himself. Fraternal Bank Wilkerson was one of the organizers and first officials of the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Co. which merged with the Solvent Bank just before the crash of that institution. Ten years ago, he organized the Tri-State Casket and Coffin Co. which manufactured caskets, coffins and funeral supplies. The development of this concern was the first of its kind conducted by the race. He is survived by a wife and daughter. He Left Notes. That Mr. Wilkerson had planned his course of action was revealed by a note and several clippings pinned to his coat and found by the watchman. The first one was found on the transmitter of the office telephone room. "You will find me in the mill room. Don't let the news spread until you call Dr. West. Get him to notify my family. Then call Sam Qualls. Tonight tell Hattie she will find some papers, on the mantle in the dining room." After the watchman finished reading the letter he heard the report of a pistol shot. He rushed to the mill room and found Wilkerson, shot twice in the head and his .44 caliber pistol laying beside him. Ohio's Fourth Athletic Conference Ohio's Fourth Athletic Conference, Columbus, O.—Representatives of Wilmington, Cedarville and Antioch colleges, (white), with those from Wilberforce University, meeting here, recently, formed Ohio's fourth athletic conference, the new group representing what is probably the first organized effort in interracial athletic competition.

SATCRDAY, JULY 14, 1928. There have been hundreds of Ben Besses in the South, particularly since the war of the rebellion, and practically all of them have suffered just as has the Columbia, S. C., Ben Bess, only worse. And there will be others, of course. --- When that seven-foot Ethiopian priest from Africa called upon the Pope in Rome, recently, it was surely an unusual scene, and the latter's treatment of the former will, for years to come, have its influence in all parts of the world where black Africans and their descendants live. 一!!!! The nerve of that Winston-Salem, N. C., "pastor," who was caught with a teacher, in insisting upon entering his pulpit to preach two Sunday sermons after his arrest and conviction, is simply astounding! That such a thing could take place, even in the South in this day and time, is beyond us. --- The editor of The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Foundation for a copy of its "Cleveland Year Book and Directory of Social and Civic Agencies," edited by Carlton K. Matson, director of the Foundation, assisted by Directory Editor Edith H. Odgers, of the Welfare Federation, and her assistant, Miss Jessie M. Smith. --- DuBois, Johnson, Pickens and Bagnall, national officers of the N. A. A. C.P., as principal speakers sure had a good time at the organization's recent annual conference, held in Los Angeles, Calif. Strange they did not have Prof. Neval H. Thomas as a speaker, too. He has been the outstanding and most successful official of the N. A. A. C.P. in the past two years, greatly overshadowing all the others when it comes to good work done for the race. Encouraged doubtless by the leasing of the theater in our K. P. temple at Columbus to a white man who conducts a chain of "movie" houses in that city from which our people are debarred or otherwise discriminated against, contrary to Ohio law, "jim claw Negroes" in Dayton are said to be considering drawing a color-line in their new theater there. What some individuals of color will do in an effort to make a little money! Lord, have mercy! The heart-rending suicide of that fraternal bank director at Memphis, last week, again brings that most unfortunate business failure to the fore, showing the great need of honest and experienced persons at the head of our business enterprises and also the necessity for close scrutiny of our officials' conduct in charge of the same. Because a man has money or is a gibb talker is not sufficient to warrant his being placed at the head of any business enterprise to handle other people's money. Only honesty and experience, on the part of officials, in the business being entered upon, justifies our people in placing their money in it for said officials to use in an effort to make money for them. RABBI COFFEE WRONG! In his address at the nineteenth annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. at Los Angeles, recently, Rabbi Rudolph I. Coffee of San Francisco said: "Israel Zangwill was hopelessly wrong in 'The Melting Pot.' America will not allow us to melt, even if we wish." Rabbi Coffee is certainly wrong. Whether America will it or not, the melting is going on and rapidly, too, all races, groups or classes participating in it to a greater or less extent. This fact is so notorious that it does not permit of argument. Rabbi Coffee is evidently decidedly opposed to intermarriage of Jews and gentiles as well as that of Afro-Americans with other American groups, classes or races. And in sofar as intermarriage is concerned, he is about twenty-five years behind the times. Hundreds of Jews and gentiles and a greater number of our people and other Americans are intermarrying, each year, fully verifying Israel Zangwill's statements in "The Melting Pot." This, too, regardless of the "Negro's" or Jew's "pride in his past, his hopes for the future, his self-respect" and "America's will" in the matter. DOINGS OF THE RACE. There are now 251 state accredited four-year high schools for our children in the South. The local Health Department estimates Washington, D. C.'s total population as 540,000. Of this number 136,000 are Afro-Americans. The A. M. E. Church has gained 75 hours but lost 2,541 members in the past ten years. Migration the cause. Sir Nana Ofori Atta, Gold Coast, West African chieftain, knighted with 200 others at Buckingham Palace, London, Eng., June 27, scorns English dress. Unless President Coolidge or Secretary of War Davis interferes, something unlikely, there will be no Citizens' Military Training camp for our boys, this year. "We should worry." MANY CASES LIKE THIS In the Southland—When Caught the Woman, With the Equal Result, Man, With the Equal Result, COLUMBIA, S. C.—Ben Bess, jailed for 13 years, pardoned and now in jail again for rape, charged by Maude Collins, (60), white, is not likely to be freed. He was pardoned in May by Gov. Richards on the strength of an affidavit by Mrs. Collins, confessing she testified falsely that she had been jailed for jury. Maude made a new affidavit to the effect that her "confession was a document prepared for her by one John M. Timmons, white," a retired merchant, friend of Bess. Timmons paid her $50, she said, for signing the document. She, illiterate, had not read it. She thought it just wrong, and he wrong he had done her." Mrs. Collins maintained, as at the original trial, that Bess had raped her. After hearing the woman, the grand jury sent Bess back to jail "for safekeeping." His friend, Timmons, said that Mrs. Collins was lying again and that he had read the "confession" to her in the presence of her son. Bess said that he had read the "confession" held on the charge of "attacking a fellow prisoner with a knife." He was prosperous in 1915. Mrs. Collins and her husband rented from him and with Collins' consent, Bess says, he was intimate with Mrs. Collins. This is doubtless true. When Bess put them off his place, he says, out of revenge they accused him of stealing his property by lying at the time of his arrest and he was sentenced to 30 years. A man writes on a desk while a woman looks on. The commercial manager of the telephone company is the man who makes it his business to see that the customers are satisfied. He has the first contact with the telephone user, from the time the prospective customer signs a contract for service. His office receives the money for service, makes any changes in the service, handles adjustments and takes care of any other requests from the customer. The telephone manager is the "people's friend" in every sense of the word. Although the operator, the installer and the lineman can be expected to give satisfactory service in their own lines of activity, the commercial manager stands ready to direct his full attention to any telephone matter which may be brought to him. TUBBY THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1928. Memories By O. Lawrence Hawthorne Too seldom do we sit and dream Of days forever gone; We miss the charm of evening. Impatient for the dawn; And when the morning is at hand We yearn for eventide; So many of the moment's joys Our hearts are thus denied. God made each hour of every day A time for happiness— The future offers pleasure but The present holds no less. A moment's retrospection when The daily task is done, A brief exchange of memories, Recounting one by one Those mutual enjoyments that Were most important then— Those sacred little incidents That never come again— Such season of reflection brings The keenest ecstasy; A wealth of precious treasure fills The realms of memory.

Tough HEAR MOM SHELL CATCH ME WHAT'S THAT NOISE I HEAR Cry of "Men and Material" Resounds as Storm-Damaged Lines Are Rebuilt CORPUS WERE WORKING ON THE LINES BEFORE THE POLES ARRIVED BY THE CARLOAD DAY AFTER DAY AT MANY POINTS As an army of telephone workers covers northwestern Ohio, cities and towns handicapped by lack of communication are gradually resuming normal life. For a period ranging from two days to several weeks, practically every community west of Sandusky and north of Lima was without long-distance telephone service, and many of the smaller communities were without even local service. A communication system that man had taken years to build was wrecked by nature almost overnight. On Friday, March 30, wires were coated with ice an inch or two thick; poles were topping all over northern Ohio. Under ordinary circumstances it would require months—perhaps a year—to build a system as had been wrecked. But storm damage is one of the hazards of the telephone system. The men who build and maintain the lines are prepared for such emergencies. This was the worst they had ever encountered, but they were out before the storm was over, and within a few hours were organized to restore service and rebuild the plant. In a day, Sandusky, Toledo and Cleveland were receiving service by rerouting calls around the storm area. In less than a week, limited long-distance service was being given out of all the important towns in the area, and local service had been restored to several thousand telephones in the affected communities. Permanent rebuilding was getting under way on the long-distance lines, the towns and on the rural lines as rapidly as forces completed their allotted temporary repairs. JAMES M.

OH, GOODNESS THERE'S A MOUSE IN THE CLOSET! When General Pershing surveyed the situation in France eleven years ago, he sent word back to the United States that he needed men and material—but above all, men. The same word was sent out through Ohio and surrounding states by officials of the Ohio Bell and the A. T. & T. when they sized up the sleet storm havoc—and the next few hours saw the men flocking into the storm area, some arriving by train and others on trucks, traveling through the night. Poles and wires were still falling when the Bell System linemen were called out of their beds in all parts of Ohio and in other states. There was work to be done; wire communication had to be maintained. More than 1,200 of the Bell army arrived with trucks, shovels, digging bars, pliers, wire snippers, and all the rest of the paraphernalia of their industry. They knew just where to start, and how. They would put in emergency service and then rebuild on a permanent basis. In many instances the rebuilding would take time, there was so much of it to be done—more than there ever had been in the history of Ohio public service. And the restoring of service of rural subscribers would take weeks. But by working night and day, the Bell gangs would do it. Word came down from headquarters that the damage to the Bell System would exceed $1,500,000. About 18,000 poles and 20,000 miles of wire were down in the sleet storm area. This meant a man's-sized job and those in the field began to call for material—poles, wire, and TWELVE DAY Vacation C&B LINE Side Trips From Niagara Falls At Special Excursion Rates Toronto and return ... $3.45 Clayton, N.

The sieet had hardly ceased falling, when orders were rushed to the Western Electric Company, the manufacturing unit of the Bell System, and the material began to roll in, on trucks and in freight cars. Like the men, it came from many places, where the Western Electric had its warehouses. It didn't take long for the work to become systematized. Each gang of men was assigned to a section of highway, in a town or in the rural areas. Engineers accompanied the gangs, planning the work as it went ahead. Each large town became a headquarters which reported to Toledo, the center of supervision for the whole job. And so they are working and will continue to work for weeks to come. Many of them will be in the storm area for months, carrying on the work of permanent rebuilding. At present they are concentrating on re-establishing normal service in the towns and putting through long-distance circuits between all communities. When this is well along, they will start work on the rural lines. Some of the rural systems were wiped out by the storm. As in the World War, it's a matter of men and material—and a system of co-ordination of all activities, so that the job will be done swiftly and efficiently. Dr. LeROYN.

Twenty-five buildings in the "Roaring Third" condemned as hazards to health and safety were ordered demolished Tuesday by Building Commissioner William D.

Our people of the entire city appreciate Safety Director Barrys and Chief Graul's order transferring Capt. Andrew Hagan to special duty at Woodland Hills park, in charge of four mounted policemen. There was a riot at the swimming pool there, last fall, and Chief Graul said that Hagan was sent out to prevent a recurrence, this year. And he'll do it, too! Hagan is one of the younger captains and an active officer, Graul Patronize Our Advertisers said, who is ideal for such work. The chief could have added and truthfully, that Capt. Hagan is one of the best officers, young or old. In one of the stories, he pleased greatly to know that he is in charge at Woodland Hills and have no hesitancy in assuring our people of Mt. Pleasant and that part of the city, served by the Woodland Halls bathhouse and swimming pool, in a beautiful white Capt. Hagan is in charge. They can depend absolutely on that. The facilities for the accommodation of tuberculosis patients in the city sanitarium at Warrenville are wholly inadequate. Scores of "T. B." sufferers in the early stages of the dreaded disease are on the waiting list of Health Commissioner H. L Rockwood, a very fine man and an exceptionally efficient official. If City Manager W. R. Hopkins has the necessary sale of Jewish Orphanage property on the Road Ave, and the purchase of property for recreational purposes contemplated," it should be used to provide the additional accommodations so sadly needed at the sanitarium in Warrenville Farm Colony. Here is another opportunity for Councilmen Tom Fleming and Herman Finkle to do something very MATERIAL for the good and welfare of all of the particularly for those of our people on that waiting list, referred to in the foregoing. Come now, Messra. Finkle and Fleming and show your constituents of the third district just how much you value the lives of their quota on that waiting list. City Manager Hopkins' espousal of Councilman Gregg's "jim-crow" hospital scheme will make ALL of our voters support the Davis Amendment, next time. Nearly all of them did so, last fall, and more of them did so this year. Next all the support Hopkins and the charter will receive from local Afro-American will be that of the three or four "Negro" doctors who have been supporting the "jim crow" project from the first and maybe Gregg. Our voters will be next to all of Gregg if he dares to be a candidate for re-election. Meantime, Gregg's latest Democratic "jim crow" resolution should be buried so deep by the Republican members of City Council that even his "cracker" candidate for vice president, Gregg, will be the governor who as Governor of that state sat supinely by and allowed other Arkansas "crackers" to lynch-murder "Negroes" at will, will be unable to resurrect it.

Motor touring, the summer pastime of millions, is pleasant directly in proportion to the manner in which the car performs, in the view of officials of the American Automobile association. It is estimated that 44,000,000 persons will take annual vacations this year on the open road. "The close relationship between the pleasure of the tour and the condition of the car should suggest to every prospective tourist the wisdom of seeing that the car is performing at its best before the trip begins," says a statement. "Battery, generator, distributor, spark plugs, valves, carburator, fuel feed system, clutch, transmission, differential, crankcase lubricant, oil filter, steering mechanism, brakes, tires, cooling system, and wheel bearings are the units chiefly recommended by the A. A. A. emergency road service experts for attention before a tour. Summarizing the probable services that each will need, the statement lists: Battery—Remove corrosion from terminals and inspect connections to see that they have not been eaten by the acid. Replace suspected connections. Cont terminals with vase line or grease. Fill cells to recommended level with distilled water. Generator—If device is not automatically controlled as to output, have charging rate reduced for the tour. It diminishes the load on the generator, while turning on the lights serves no other purpose than to keep the battery from becoming overcharged, which is not so likely as generally believed. Distributor—Clean and adjust breaker points. Apply a thin film of grease to the cam. Spark Plugs—Clean and check points for condition and clearance. Replacement, if the plugs have seen a year's service, is generally advisable. Valves—It will pay to have the HOW TO OPERATE BRAKES ON AUTO Shift to Low Gear When Descending Steep Grades and Prevent Wear. Motorists may have trouble with brakes during exceptionally hot weather. There are perhaps two reasons for this. One is that much more torring and driving is done in the summer and the other is that the lubricant in the rear axle becoming thinned by heat often works its way out of the axle end under the brake drum. During hot spells we often see cars with oil thrown over the brake drums and the inside of the wheels, writes Clyde H. Pratt in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This is due to heat thinning the lubricant so that it works out. The remedy is to have new grease-retaining washers put in the axle, or put in heavier lubricant, or both. Less Brake Trouble. In case of brake troubles due to long hills, there is less of this than in the earlier days of motoring because there have been so many serious accidents due to the burning out of brake linings that in many places at the top of long and dangerous hills we find signs posted warning the driver to use the lower speed gear. On an average steep hill the second speed gears will hold the car with just a little extra pressure on the brake pedal. Before starting down a steep hill stop, put the gears into low speed, retard the spark, close the throttle and run down the hill with the clutch engaged. In going down hill in this way the engine will hold the car back with very little extra use of the brakes. Naturally you cannot drive very fast when using low-speed gears, neither can you drive very fast in going up this same hill, but in going over this kind of road in mountainous country the question of safety must be the driver's first consideration if he intends to live to tell the people at home about his journey. There evidently are drivers who feel that it is beneath them to take this so-called ultra-precaution. This is perhaps the reason we may see the wrecks of their cars overgrown with bushes along mountain roads. Engine Holds Car. valves ground if this has not been done for 7,500 miles, regardless of the gasoline one uses. Valves must seat properly for efficient engine performance. For the tour, it is not wise to adjust them too closely. This means quick valve deterioration and poor performance. Look sharply for burned exhaust valves during the grinding process. **Carburetor**—Clean strainer at bottom thoroughly. If mixture is suspected of excessive richness, have it adjusted by an expert. **Fuel Feed System**—Drain taps at bottom of main gasoline tank and vacuum tank. Blow out the feed lines. **Clutch**—If the release bearing is not the self-lubricating type, take up one turn on the grease cup, the commonly used substitute. Be careful not to turn down the cup so far as to get grease on the plates. Slipping of the clutch is sure to follow. **Transmission and Differential**—Drain and flush case and housing and fill up with fresh lubricant. Crankcase—Drain out old oil, flush with light oil, and refill with the normal—not heavy—Lubricant unless the car is accustomed to that grade. Oil Filter—Inspect the cartridge or straining unit. If it has seen 10,000 miles of service and is the noncleanable type, buy a new one. Steering—Check for wear, looseness, or binding, and lubricate thoroughly. Hours at a wheel that works hard are exceptionally fatiguing and dangerous. Brakes—Check for wear on linings and positiveness of equalization. Strange roads and high speeds call for perfect brakes. Tires—Don't tempt fate with tires that are badly worn. Wear out the old ones in day-to-day service, not on the tour. Higher speeds call for higher tire pressures. From three to five pounds over the normal is essential. Round Spring Edges to Sometimes springs will wear in such a way that the car will ride with a peculiar bumpy motion. This occurs when the shorter leaves are formed so that the edge gradually wears a sec. ROUND LOWER EDGES SHARP EDGE GROUND OFF Rounding the edge at the lower end of each leaf of the spring will prevent wearing away a depression in the leaf below and preserve smooth spring action even when riding over large bumps. tion of the leaf below it. When the wheel strikes a bump slightly larger than normal the edge of the spring is forced to ride up over the corner of the depression worn in the lower spring. The cure for this is to round the sharp edge at the lower end of each leaf as shown in the illustration. —Popular Science Monthly. --- A man can be excused for falling from grace as he has acquired the detour habit in his travels. If the battery cables are corroded, the full capacity of the battery cannot reach the ignition system. Certain types of alloy pistons wear rapidly, and if replaced at the proper time an expensive overhaul Job may be prevented. Lack of lubrication makes new cars grow old rapidly. Rattles and squeaks mean that springs and spring shackles are being neglected and require attention.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1928 Pretty Things that are made at Home roses are easiest to make. Garde so very fashionable at this mon EVERYTHING from furniture and automobiles to corsage bouquets is being lacquered in bright colors these days. Leading French milliners are featuring not only lacquered straws but they are trimming these shiny hats with lacquered flowers and fruits. The boutonniere of lacquered posies is also tree chic. With a few simple materials and a little leisure time spent in following directions as given below in regard to sealing wax craft, it is possible for the woman deft of fingers to make lacquered flowers as handsome as those sold at the most exclusive shops. It requires crepe paper the color of the flowers one intends making, amber sealing wax which when melted is transparent, and wire. You will also need an alcohol lamp, a wax molder (pliable knife) and a piece of glass to work on, also a pot of paste and a paste brush. The first step is to form a piece of the spool wire into a ring (Fig. 1), then shape like a metal (Fig. 2). Wild MODERNIZED DRESS FLANNEL "TO T Dresswear & Goodwear PERHAP'S in planning materials for your sportswear or other daytime costumes, it never occurred to you to include flannel. To omit flannels, as now are, from one's wardrobe program, is to not keep pace with the mode, for flannel is at this moment a supremely ruggul material. Of course we are not referring to flannel in the old-fashioned sense of a heavy rugged irritating woolen which the aged wore as a cure-all for in firmities and the young were urged to wear (but wouldn't) as a preventive from all illness. Oh, dear no! The flannels which fashion prescribes are the daintiest, prettiest, most colorful and most beguilingly patterned fabrics one ever did see. Buy Your Co or an Acqu rosees are easiest to make. Gardenias, so very fashionable at this moment, are also simply constructed. The one in the picture (top panel) is in the smart rose-beige shade. A single lacquered gardenia on the coat lapel is very effective or one can arrange several around a straw or felt cloche as pictured at the top of the illustration—but to continue directions for making. The next step is to cover the wire frame well with paste and place between two pieces of stretched crepe paper the color you want your leaf (Fig. 3). When paste is dry, trim close to wire frame (Fig. 4). To cover with sealing wax hold the leaf near the flame of an alcohol lamp. Light the stick of amber sealing wax in the flame and add drop by drop over the surface of the crepe paper leaf until entirely covered. (Fig. 5). Spread out if necessary with the molding knife. By working quickly and getting the knack, the sealing wax will smooth out over the surface, the color of the under paper reflecting through its transparency. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

S FLANNEL IS THE QUEEN'S TASTE" It is just this way, a lot of style emphasis is being placed on woolen fabrics these days, which brings flannels into the timelight. Now in order to measure up to the style standards of this age and generation, manufacturers "got busy" and proceeded to modernize flannel, so to speak. The flannel of today is flannel "to the queen's taste." It is exquisite not only in texture but in coloring and design, and it is as delicate as daintest silk and the like. The new flannels are indeed a revelation of brightest textile artistry. It is possible to obtain these exquisite woolens in lovely floral prints on creamy or pastel backgrounds. As to striped flannels, they are of outstanding smartness. The striking sports costume in this picture is of blue and white striped flannel, for either mildly blue or navy with white is one of the present leading color combinations. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) py of The aintance wh "THROWING AWAY VOTES." Columbus, O., June 22, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—This is to congratulate you on entering your name as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio and to assure you of my intention of voting for you. This will not be my first time to do so. I expect as usual to be told that I am "throwing away my vote" but since we seldom are aware of anything else in that throwing our votes in voting for candidates of either party, that protest will not agitate me at all. If all of the two hundred thousand voters of our group in this state would do the same, every political and social problem would soon be cleared up. And that would be worth more than the election of any one man to any one office. Ever since 1922, Ohio has had one Democratic governor. Three primary elections and three regular elections, making six in all, have been held in the last six years. There have been at least a score of candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor and three Republican candidates for Governor, in that period of time. Every vote cast for any and all of these candidates, totaling twenty-five or twenty-six at least, "was thrown away", because all were defeated, either at the primaries or on election days, and this includes the vote of every Afro-American in the state of Ohio who voted at any primary or regular election, or both, in the last six years. This proves the correctness of the statement in the foregoing communication from Mrs. Dovie King Clarke, wife of the pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Columbus, and one of the brightest women in the state of Ohio, without reference to race, class or group. She has sensed the matter and got it correct, and those "Negroes" in the state, who like parrots repeat the "throwing away vote" talk given them for a purpose obvious by shrewd white politicians of their communities, ought to sit up and take notice particularly of the two points made in Mrs. Clarke's letter. If we ever expect to get anywhere in the political and civil life of this great commonwealth of Ohio, we have simply got to stop being parrots and do our own thinking and voting. If Ohio Afro-Americans will only register, they will have easily fifty thousand more votes than would be necessary to nominate one of their own as a Republican candidate for any state office and to elect him, too, providing of course they will do their own thinking and voting as do the loyal, self and race respecting members of every other racial group or class of voters in the state and country. Mrs. Clarke is entirely correct in what she has written. Will Ohio Afro-Americans heed? Two years ago, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, we received more votes than five or six of the eight white candidates for the same nomination. That was glory enough for that time. This time, we should win and will do so, if our people will but do their clear duty—register and vote right! There is not an outstanding candidate for the nomination, the four or five candidates being very "ordinary". BEATY AND COOPER The Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati, ex-member of the Ohio legislature and former assistant U. S. district attorney in southern Ohio, is one of the signers of Myers Y. Cooper's declaration of candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor. This fact has caused an endless amount of caustic criticism because it is a miserable insult to all of the loyal, self and race respecting Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio. Myers Y. Cooper, the Republican candidate for Governor two years ago, was defeated as a result of the refusal of thousands of our voters throut the state to support his candidacy because of the insulting discrimination he thrusts upon our people of his city and county in business dealings. Beaty and Cooper live in Cincinnati. The former knows of the latter's color-line activity. Regardless of this, Beaty signed Cooper's declaration of candidacy, undoubtedly with a purpose obvious—to help Cooper get Afro-American votes. May God forgive him! Beaty when a member of the Ohio legislature, introduced a bill to amend our Ohio Civil Rights law which, if enacted by the State Assembly, would have greatly weakened the law. Luckily the bill was never enacted. Why he ever introduced it, we have never learned. It was doubtless but a move similar to his recent signing of Cooper's declaration of candidacy. One of the greatest drawbacks to the progress of our people in community, state and nation is just such most reprehensible action upon the part of members of the race who pose as local, state or national leaders.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and over the person of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, is intended for injury that permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be convicted of a crime not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such as have been arrested, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover from the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damaged, and a sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of the person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (83 v. 162 8.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by the mob (Section 6283. 192). Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire into the case of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and against it in favor of the legal representant in the case, or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought into the county, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or antilynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other nor- thern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted antilynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. nst member of mob nst another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: the General Code of 1945. Sec. 12.141 Who be the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the commodities advantages of facilities or privileges the shall be furnished not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12.1941 Who violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcyr for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Edgar C. Smith. Edward C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to tell you that separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. What the Beacon-Journal had known, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Reading It Reading It
