Bay St. Louis, Miss.—Because he feared for the safety of his mother, against whose life threats of lynching were made, Silas Richardson, a member of the race, who ten days ago shot his way out of the county jail here was again in custody of local officers, last week Monday, and was sent to Jackson for safe keeping. About three weeks ago, Richardson was arrested on an auto theft charge and was placed in the county jail. When the chief of police accompanied by John Dambrino, entered Richardson cell to search revolver, said to have drawn revolver, shooting Dambrino through the head and seriously injuring the police chief. Richardson told officers that he escaped to New Orleans, the same day, on a freight train. While there he secured employment, working under his own name. It was there he read in the papers that threats of lynching his mother were being made here. Richardson immediately started back here to his home, rejoining his folk. He was re-arrested. All through the week, several of bloodhounds and white men attacked the countryside in vain for him. Police say he offered no resistance and that he told them that, while he was fleeing, bloodhounds came within two vards of him. STRIKE THREAT IN "JIM-CROW" BUREAU Six Dollars a Day Not Enough, Say Homer, Roscoe and Lehla—Hawkins on the Job as Peacemaker. Chicago, Ill. — After "marking time" for three weeks, the Reubican Natl. Committee's "jim-crow" headquarters chiefs here were ready to quit, Monday. A general walkout,reatening developments,there are far-reaching developments immediately, they say. Homer G. Phillips, of St. Louis, who was defeated by Dr. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., for head of the "jim-crow" Republican national organization, has discovered that his hands are tied as field organizer of the western division. Organizers have been scrapped and their places filled by men selected by men in Washington. Want More Pay! State Senator Adelbert H. Roberts in charge of the "jim-crow" headquarters here, brought back the revised organization when he returned, recently, from Washington. This revision, it is said, does not meet the approval of Roscoe Simmons and C. Calloway, chairman and vice-chairman of the speaker's bureau. Mr. Simmons, Arthur W. Mitchell, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland, feel keenly the small amount of their daily pay, $6. Also they believe his $2,000 weekly budget is much too small and resent the fact that the office personnel has been drawn entirely from the "Windy City". But most of all, they resent their staff here as ornaments on only a $6 daily budget without instructions or schedule. How Trouble Started Trouble started several weeks ago when R. R. Church, Tennessee leader, Armond Scott and Finley Wilson of Washington, and several other prominent "Negroes," declined to serve on the G. O. P. "jim-crow" advisory committee as at present constituted. Church and Roscoe Simmons took their complaints to Herbert Harkin, himself who are reported to have had the understanding that the situation would be remedied as far as it concerns the organization in the West. It is this revision which is reported as still unsatisfactory to Simmons, Callaway, Homer Phillips, Mrs. Lethia Fleming and others of the Western area of the Harkin University of the Republican Natl. "jim-crow" campaign committee, is in Chicago trying to straighten out the tangle. HOOVER SHOULD SPEAK! Says Dr. Alexander, Our New Jersey Leader, in Refusing to Serve on the Republican National "Jim-Crow" Advisory Committee. Washington, D. C.—Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J., has declined a place on the Hoover national "jim-crow" advisory campaign committee. Dissatisfaction with the personnel of the Hoover National is its slight recognition of New Jersey and his refusal to be an ornamental frisco or dumb figure-head, are reasons cited. Commenting on Hoover's acceptance speech, Dr. Alexander wrote Secretary A. L. Holsey here: "As an address intended for Americans with full citizenship and equal opportunities of all kinds, it is a gift for Americans who, by but for Afro-Americans who, by choice of their own, have their opportunities and citizenship either denied or abridged, it is a wordless scrap of paper. "It is unfortunate that Afro-Americans are to be considered as "special" Americans, but the will of the dominant majority so dictates the declaration, which does provide special reference to these unfortunate citizens, offers but little consolation and no hope to them. "If Mr. Hoover is to counteract and dispel the prevailing and growing opinion that he is making a bid for impossible white southern support at the expense of the Afro-American's aid, he must come out with some declaration which will renew the faith of Afro-Americans in the Dr. Alexander declined to serve on the advisory committee, and the Hon.

Used by Arkansas Barbarians—The Lads' "Conviction" a Parody of Justice-That State the Home of the Democratic Candidate for Vice President. (Special to The Gazette.) Forest City, Ark.—A brittle tale of the conviction of two of our boys aged 14 and 18, respectively, of first degree murder, after confessions had been extorted from them by threats of electrocution, brutal whipping, is told by W. J. Lanier, (white), of the city, attorney for the boys. The N. A. A. C. P. is supporting, with a contribution of $200, the attorney in his efforts to procure a stay of execution and reversal of the case. Atty. Lanier says the boys, Robert Bell and Grady Swain, were convicted by the St. Francis County Circuit Court in March of the murder by drowning of Julius McColum (white), of the city, attorney for the Elbert Thomas, aged 19, was first accused, but his drowned body was found ten or more days after that of the McColum boy. "Grady Swain," Mr. Lanier says, "because he was seen with the McColum boy, was accused and arrested, placed in jail in the night, given the third degree by the sheriff with his six shooter displayed at his side, whipped with a leather strait. He was taken to the Elbert Thomas, kept there in jail Monroe county, kept there in jail Monroe days, returned to the Forest City jail and then taken by the sheriff to the penitentiary at Little Rock, and kept continually in the stockade until he was returned to Forest City at the beginning of the March, 1928, term of Circuit Court. Robert Bell, for the sole reason that he was seen with the McColum boy on the afternoon of the drowning, was arrested by a deputy sheriff (who had killed one or two men, bore a bad reputation and was accused of manufacturing and selling whiskey) and placed in jail here where he remained a short time, and where he remained a short time, and in the sheriff placed in a dark cell in the state penitentiary at Little Rock, with the most despicable criminals until the convening of the Circuit Court here in March last." Mr. Lanier after saying nine days elapsed between convening of court and indictments, and thirteen and one-half days before appointment of attorneys to defend the boys, continues: "We procured from them the information that Sheriff J. M. Campbell, after dark and with his six shooter displayed at his side, had severely whipped the Swain boy once or twice with a leather strap, about three feet long with a steel buckle on the end of it trying to force him without success to tell that he robbed and drowned the McColum boy." The treatment given Robert Bell, age 14, Mr. Lanier describes as follows: "Robert was unmercifully and inhumanely, in three different occasions, in the presence of this same officer, whipped and beaten with a raw-hide strap four and one-half feet long by 3 inches wide, with a half foot by 3 inches wide, in the penitentiary, in a future effort to force a 'confession' from him. He was, prior to each beating, made to remove his coat and lie down on the floor on his stomach. On one of these occasions he was beaten so severely that for several days he could not sit nor lie on his sides or back. The last whipping given, by his man by the time he sat on his Robert's head and hold his hands while Todhunter, a 'man' weighing upwards of 225 pounds, lashed and cursed him, threatening death. Grady was also made to remove his coat, lie on his stomach while the same Todhunter cursed, threatened and whipped him with the same strap. On Jan. 29, 1928, after these human and animal actions, having been the electric execution chair, these two boys, in the absence of their father, mother, brother, sister or friend, and after apparently all, even God himself, had abandoned and deserted them, one was taken from the dark, bleak penitentiary and the other from the dark and lonely dungeon, in the night time, to the small private office of the same Todhunter and in the presence of his friend, a hired non-resident stem ornagher and hired attorney from Memphis, the window-shades pulled down, the lights turned on, by persistent interrogations, two confessions, one in full which did not suit the fastidious idea of these just, and Christian gentlemen and the second which was partly reported, were wring from these ignorant, helpless and abandoned youths and later used against them in the court trial.

He says a motion to dis- qualify the sheriff, because of his activities, from summoning a jury to JOSEPH T. ROBINSON try them, was overruled; that a mo- tion to postpone because of the ab- sence of witnesses, lack of money and assistance for defense, was also overruled. "I felt as much interest in these little boys as if they had been my own children," says Mr. Lanier. "and we made us strong defense for them as though they were our own boys. I firmly, honestly and conscientiously believe they are as innocent of the offense charged against them as I am and you are." Mr. Lanier also says a 12-year-old brother of Grady was also accused, of his murder, of oil, but the lad drove away from his captors and hid in the woods after being forced to "confess" that he drowned the McColum boy. The father of Robert Bell, threatened with the dynamiting of his home, was driven from the state. DAVID MANSON RETIRES. A Cleveland Boy Who Started in This City As Office Boy With the Ohio Iron & Metal Co. Is a Director When He Retires. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear sir:—The attached is self-explanatory. I believe that I owe something, as an inspiration to the many thousands of our youth, and a short story my wife would, believe, be thoughtful and beneficial. The high lights are that in twenty-five years I was never late in arriving at the office. I started with this concern as office boy at five dollars per week, and worked up to a salary of ten thousand dollars per year. This was accomplished only by self-confidence, will power, optimism and efficiency. My theme throughout the years has been efficiency. I have endeavored to carry this to the end of every task that I have had to do. I have thousands and thousands of others can do. You may use this story, as stated above, as an inspiration for our countless number of youths. "A Sip of the Elixir of Life". Chicago, Ill., Sept. 1, '28. Mr. S. J. Posen, President, Mrs. S. J.

Thirty-six years of hard work, uniting efforts and trustful experiences. I believe have earned a slip of the elitist life; so my friends, I tender my resignation as a director and as traffic manager, effective with the close of this year. May I add, I believe the present organization is the best in the history of the Ohio Iron and Metal Company, and it is my sincere wish and hope that success upon success will attend you all during the years you remain in business.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1928. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a formal announcement of the opening of the new Dunbar National Bank, 2824 Eighth Ave., (Harlem) N. Y. City, of which Mr. John D. Rockefeller III is president. --- If you are not reading The Gazeette regularly, each week, you are missing much. Start immediately to enjoy Ohio's oldest, most reliable and most interesting race newspaper. It tells you the truth about persons and things, without fear or favor, all the time. This is generally known and acknowledged. Tell your friends! Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, the state from whence hails U. S. Senator Jos. Robinson, Democratic candidate for vice-president, Gov. Al. Smith's running mate, have always been regarded as the most benighted and backward states in the South, from a racial viewpoint or standpoint. Robinson, as governor of Arkansas, did not discourage lynching and other crimes against our people of his state. "Nuf sed"! HAWKINS, DE PRIEST, COOPER! Less than two hundred "Cleveland Negro Republicans" greeted John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., Oscar DePriest of Chicago, and Ohio's Color-Line Republican Candidate for Governor Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, the speakers at the alleged "Emancipation Celebration" which was really nothing but a failure political meeting, last week Tuesday evening, at Color-Line Luna Park, this city, Hawkins and DePriest, members of the race sent here by their white political masters at Washington, D. C., could have been in better business. Cleveland now has an Afro-American population of nearly fifty thousand. We cannot find words to express our appreciation of the fact that so few of our people attended the "emancipation" flasco of last week Tuesday. It proves after all that there are many thousands of them here who still have self and race respect, manhood and womanhood! Many of the less than two hundred that did attend the political meeting, heralded as an "emancipation celebration", did not understand the situation or they would not have been there so they have since declared. Thank the Lord! WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY? Editor, The Cleveland Daily News, Dear Sir:—The News of Sept. 6, '28, quotes City Manager Will Hopkins with saying that the E. 37th St.-Orange Ave. police precinct station property has been sold to the Van Sweringen terminal interests, and that the city owns a site at E. 35th St. and Scovill Ave., but has no funds available for the erection of a station there at present. May I ask The News to get in touch with Hopkins again and tell its readers what became of the funds made "available" by the sale of the E. 37th St.-Orange Ave. property? Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette. AN IDEAL PRECEDENT! We call the attention particularly of our parents and youth, readers of The Gazette, to the letters elsewhere in this paper briefly telling of the exceptional rise of David Manson, a Cleveland "boy", from office boy at five dollars a week, here in Cleveland, to director (and stockholder of course), and traffic manager (at $10,000 a year) of the Ohio Iron & Metal Company after it moved to Chicago from this city, many years ago. His progress, and success in life, are not only exceptional but are really wonderful when his racial connection and residence in this prejudiced country are taken into consideration. As Mr. Manson well says in his letter to the editor and the one to The Gazette's many regular readers, one of which he has been for more than a quarter of a century, it takes "self-confidence, willpower, optimism and efficiency" to accomplish almost anything worth while, these days, and especially such most gratifying success as he has attained. This is the lesson that should be seared into the very marrow of the bones of our youth of today by their parents. And Mr. Manson is right when he feels that a brief story of his career in the business life of Cleveland and Chicago will be an inspiration to our youth and prove beneficial to them, and others. Most of the failures of youths, and adults as well, can be attributed to a lack of "self-confidence, willpower, optimism and efficiency". In the case of our people particularly the failure to do the "drudgery" that results in efficiency is what most often robs them of anticipated personal and business success. To that one thing, more than to anything else, Mr. Manson can and apparently does attribute his splendid success in life. Here in Cleveland there are still many, like the editor of The Gazette, who remember him since "the days of his youth" and rejoice in his outstanding rounding out of a career that ought to and doubtless will prove a beacon light to our youth for many, many years to come. Prime Sport News Johnny Finally Wins One. Johnny Finlay Wins One Omaha, Neb. — Johnny Risko (white), Cleveland baker boy won a referee's decision, last week Friday night, over Beaumont Wright, lodged in a ten-round bout. Wright had a seventeen-pound advantage over Risko, who weighed 189. McVey vs. Courtney. Recovered from the recent illness that forced him to cancel his recent scheduled bout here with Jack McVey, our New York star, George Courtney, (white), Oklahoma cowboy, has signed a new set of articles for a match with McVey here, Tuesday night, at Taylor bowl. McVey, like "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, has really been successful in all of his several appearances in the ring in this city. A $40,000 Offer for the Bout. Boston, Mass.-Eddie Mack, local boxing promoter, has offered $40,000 for a 10-round title bout between Joe Dundee, world's welterweight champion, and Young Jack Thompson, our sensational coast boxer, the bout to be held here, the afternoon of Columbus day, Oct. 12 at the Boston Braves field. Mack made the offer at a conference with the managers of the two fighters, who took it under consideration. Walter Taylor. Cleveland promoter, also made an offer for the fight to the two managers. Jack Finally Gets Another Decision. Salisbury, N.

But, moved by Courage or of Love— Of Him descended from above, Sir Philip Sidney, nearing Death, Proved Gentlehood with dying Breath. Brave Raleigh's act was most Polite, And worthy of the Cultured Knight; Who spread as pavement, for his Queen. Earl Chesterfield, as Readers know, Advised his son how he should go; But this was Etiquette, by rule, Which all can learn, attending school. But, still, the Truth would seem to be, That, tempered with Humility, Our Father, in his Wondrous Plan, Breathed Goodness in the Gentleman. JOHN P. GREEN. Seek White Lover—Wages of Sin! Oakland, Cal.-Police are looking for two white men said to have been former sweethearts of Ruby Kelly, a girl of the race, whose lifeless body was found with hands tied and showing evidence that she had been strangled to death with a towel, here last week. TUBBY IT'S YOU SCH TH MIS AN LO OU THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1928. Correct View of the Democratic South IN THE NAME OF THE SOUTH, I PROTEST AGAINST A WET CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT!! AUGUST THERE'S TOO MUCH TAMMANY IN THIS CAMPAIGN!! SEPTEMBER BETWEEN THE WETS AND TAMMANY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS GONE TO THE DOGS!! OCTOBER HABIT IS A POWERFUL THING! REP DEM. WARREN ELECTION DAY "LILY-WHITE" REPUBLICAN Speaking in Birmingham, Ala., recently, Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of Chevy Chase, Md., president of the National Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League, and editor of the Woman Voter, said: "Democratic voters in the south will go for Mr. Hoover when we fully acquainting them of Smith's record and his affiliation with Tammany Hall. Negro votes from Harlem elected him governor, and if he is successful in the present campaign social equality between the races would be established and 'jim-crow' laws erased from the statute books." There is not a word of truth in the foregoing. Democratic voters in the South are not going to be influenced to vote for Hoover by any Editor Dabney's "Compliments". Congratulations on the forty-sixth anniversary of The Gazette! The Hon. Harry C. Smith has published "many a gem of purest ray serene", relative to race rights and race loyalty. His paper is now forty-six years of age, has never missed an issue and has ever sounded warnings. While we Negroes may not agree upon all matters but yet we should be able to get on the road all that the Mr. Smith has always advocated, namely we desire and demand the same rights granted to all citizens of this country by the United States constitution and amendments—Cincinnati (O.) Union. Southern "Social Equality"!! Southern "Social Equality" Portland, Me. — Arrest of two white women with their Afro-American boy "friends" in a rooming house here, last week, caused Mrs. Eda S. Wyman, white) of Troy, Ms. to be sentenced to a reformatory and to pay a fine of $100. Her 18-year-old daughter, Thelma, and Theophilus Richardson, who say they love each other and will marry as soon as they are free, were fined $100 each and given a 60-day jail term. On appeal they were released on $2000 bail each. MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H. S., 9E. Ohio St., Chicago such southern "illy-white Republican" talk. That sort of stuff has fooled the Hoover campaign management completely and to the extent of alienating much of the Afro-American vote here in the North where votes count. It is the same old political rot that the "illy-white" (halt-Democrats) of the South have peddled for more than twenty-five years, every four years just before Presidential elections, to Republican national committees and controls. This time, and for the first time, they have finally succeeded in fooling those in control of a Republican national campaign who in "embracing" the "illy-white" kluxers of the South have as a result driven and are continuing to drive thousands upon thousands of Afro-American Republicans here in the North from the 25¢ —is the right price to pay for a good tooth paste— LISTERINE TOOTH PASTE Large Tube 25¢ Clean, Clear, Healthy Beautiful Eyes Are a Wonderful Asset Murine is Cleansing, Soothing, Refreshing and Harmless.

It's a fool-bargain they have entered into and the election in November will prove it so. It looks as if they are trying to elect Smith! Southern Democrats, who can give Tammany Hall "cards and spades" and then beat it out, when it comes to political rottenness, are not worrying a bit as a result of Al Smith's "affiliation with Tammany Hall"; and "Negro votes from Harlem" never "elected Smith governor of New York state". Mrs. Nicholson's "social equality and jim-crow laws" talk is positively so silly it is hard to believe that any person outside of a "bug-house" would indulge in it even in a fool-effort to win "cracker" votes in the South. She's certainly wasting her time and effort.

Additional Locals In renewing her subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette, Mrs. Nettie Ricks Demby of Little Rock, Ark., wife of Rt. Rev. E. Thos. Demby, our bishop of that Episcopal diocese, writes: "It is quite possible that we will miss (Chelsea) the early part of November to see the few old friends who are still alive". This will be good news to all the old residents who remember her as one of our first girls here before her marriage and locating in the South. The Bishop will be warmly welcomed, too. Mrs. Demby (and her saluted mother) have been married since its initial issue, August 25, 1883. And there are others; like Mr. Jefferson of this city. The N. A. A. C. P. local branch ought to investigate the recent shooting to death of an unidentified Afro-American at Woodland Ave. and E. 30th St., in "The Roaring Third," by patrolman Yaro Hospodarsky. It does not seem "justifiable," as pronounced by Capt. Wm. McMasters of the Woodland-E. 37th St. precinct. The organization "does not do the illegal coloring drawn on applicants for work in the local office of the State Employment bureau. It is an outrage that ought to be stopped instanter. Voters in all registration municipalities of Cuyahoga county must register anew, this fall if they wish to vote at the November election. This applies not only to Cleveland, where annual registration is required, but also to all municipalities where the quadrennial registration is in effect. Regular registration days for the November election will be Oct. 4, 11, 19 and 20. Any election will be fifty miles or more from the county on all regular registration days may register with the clerk at the board of elections in city hall between next Saturday and Oct. 4. E. W. Curry, pastor of a Baptist church at Springfield, this state, has been placed in charge of its "jim crow" bureau by the state Republican executive committee which is to manage the campaign for Color-line Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, Republican candidate for Governor, the man we had to defeat two years ago, for the same reason. It is perhaps fitting that Curry was selected for the position because he is the "Negro" who joined with the Klan of Springfield in the fight, several years ago, to force "jim-crow"掌治 our people of that town. The Ohio Klan divided its support, at the recent primary, between Begg, Bands of Sandusky and Kohler of Cleveland. So Curry and Cooper will have no trouble, we presume, harmonizing during the present campaign. Of course, we cannot vote for Cooper and Judge Geiger of Springfield, candidate for the Supreme Court, because he, too, "flirted" with the Klan in that memorable and successful Springfield school fight. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY! "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some money. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus, Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Plqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. After the arrival of The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state to whom we can write relative to the matter. Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of Afro-American people is all the sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. Medals Given 'Phone Workers for Unusual Public Service OL LUCAS JAMES HOTEL JAMES R. JAMES MRS. GLADYS RUTH STORER MRS. GLADYS RUBLE WHITACRE MARK J. BELL BOLTON VIRGINIA PRIVATELY OWNED MOTOR DRIVE A Mill Mountain road, a concrete thoroughfare to the top of Mill mountain, near Roanoke, $ \mathrm{V a}_{2} $ is one of the few privately owned tourists' drives in the country. It was built by Henriitz Brothers, who operate it as a toll road, charging 25 cents per vehicle and 12½ cents per passenger. The pavement rises 620 feet in a distance of 7,041 feet. The average grade for the distance is 8.8 per cent and the maximum is 11 per cent. The roadway winds around the mountain, in one place making a complete loop, crossing over itself within a distance of 300 feet. While most of the pavement is 18 feet wide, some of the curves have been widened to 32 feet in order to reduce the accident hazard. Tourists who have traveled over this road report that the gritty textured concrete pavement is skid-proof even on rainy days. Six Ohio telephone employees have been awarded bronze Theodore N. Vail medals in recognition of acts of bravery and devotion to duty in 1927. Twelve others are voted honorable mention, and letters of commendation will be sent by telephone officials to five more. Mrs. Gladys R. Storer, telephone agent and operator at Murray City, Ohio, is given posthumous recognition for her devotion to duty during a flood last summer. She died on July 2 last of a brain ailment, several weeks after she had earned the gratitude and praise of the townspeople. On June 10 of last year, she was at her switchboard in Murray City when a stream of water eight feet deep, caused by a cloudburst, swept through the main street of the village. Realizing the danger to the inhabitants, many of whom had retired for the night, she notified as many as possible and asked a group of men in a pool room to render assistance. She then called other towns and the Red Cross. She remained at the switchboard until 7:00 A. M. directing relief work. Three Toledo men—Mark J. Bell, James Bolton and James R. Whitacre—are given medals for their rescue work in the explosion at Point Place which took seven lives on January 22, 1927. These men were working at Summit and 116th streets when they heard a loud explosion about a block away. Rushing to the scene, they found a two story brick building on Edgewater drive in flames. Whitacre immediately called the police, firemen and the ambulance station, while Bell and Bolton climbed in a window. Finding Mrs. William Jennings buried in the debris and menaced by the fire, they carried her to an adjoining house and then returned to the burning building. They located Fred Kleis but could not move him until Whitacre came to their assistance. They removed Kleis just as wall collapsed behind them.

Olive Lester Lucas, telephone repairman at New Lexington, will receive a medal for his part in attempting to rescue a man who had been overcome by "black damp" in a mine shaft. With Sheriff Harley McNabb, William H. Estle, commercial manager of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, and W. H. Fair, also a telephone man, Lucas went to Wilbren on September 10 in response to an appeal for help. He was lowered into the mine shaft, but was overcome by the deadly gas before he could raise the unconscious man. He was unconscious when raised from the shaft, and tremendous efforts were necessary to revive him. The man whom he sought was dead before the other men could bring his body to the surface. The other award is to Miss Hazel Ruble, operator at Pickerington, for her part in saving the town from destruction by fire last October. When she was advised that a garage was burning, she summoned local aid, and shortly afterward called neighboring towns for help. Finding that the fire was spreading rapidly, and knowing that her long-distance lines would soon fail, she called the Columbus fire department on her own initiative. With only a few lines working, and with the next-door building in flames, Miss Ruble remained at her board to do all she could. Columbus fire apparatus arrived after a 24-mile run and put out the flames after six families were made homeless and the town had suffered a $50,000 loss. The medals are awarded annually by the Bell System in recognition of the devotion to duty of telephone employees and outstanding acts of public service in connection with their work. They are also a memorial to the late Theodore N. Nail, former head of the telephone system. ACK to bonnets, so says the mode. That is, if you do not prefer one the smart head-nitting toques which he also immensely popular this season. Fashion is smiling approval on THROUGH TAFFETA STYLISTS INTERPRET THE EVENING MODE THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE. The bonnet vogue started some time ago and it is growing more important every minute. The outstanding thing about the new bonnets is that they adopt a drooping side silhouette. That makes them very different from the bonnets which have gone before. This drooping wide side effect sometimes follows the simple natural lines. Then again it is achieved through most cunning plats and fluted contours. Paris modistes are playing up these side brims which hug the face in every possible ingenuous way. It is really astonishing, the clever things designers are doing with bonnet brims. Sometimes they cut them away in a diagonal line across the eyes, developing Dutch bonnet fanges at the sides. Sometimes, too, the milliner plats the brim across the neck at the back. Even the soft vagabonds which are so popular an item for early fall emphasize the face-framing idea. The first hat in this picture, which is a THROUGH TAFFETA INTERPRET WHAT splendid opportunities we of this generation are privileged to enjoy, through the many educational programs presented through style shows such as it has become the custom to stage not only in the larger cities but in lesser ones as well. At the same time these exhibitions are versing women as to fashion's trend, they are also cultivating a deeper appreciation of dress as an art in the finest sense of the word. The lovely gown in the picture is typical of the exquisite apparel which is gracing autumn's featured style parades. This handsome model was exhibited at a showing recently staged in Chicago in a salon of one of its finest hotels by leading local stylists under the auspices of the Associated Dress Industries of America. The study of the details of this charming evening frock is a revelation of that which is being planned for wear at smart formal after-six-o'clock affairs this autumn and winter. First of all this fetching gown pro-claims taffeta in unmistakable terms. new type vagabond, is trimmed with grosgrain ribbon in two tones. Leather or stitched fabric belts, which are brass-eyed, are often buckled about the crowns of these soft ripple-brim sports hats as per the model pictured last in this group. Two colors of felt are worked together for the cloetie at the top to the right. The autumn mode throughout entire costume styling features combinations of colors either in blends or contrasts. A pleasing development in the bonnet vogue is that of the contrasted facing. This gives a splendid opportunity for color effects which add to becomingness. The hat in the oval to the right is dark brown with a russet facing, these favorite fall colorings repeated in the trimming. The cepter all-over stitched hat is typical of the new trend in bonnet shapes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) A STYLISTS THE EVENING MODE The moment one glimpses it, one senses the importance of taffeta for the coming months. Not only taffeta in beguiling solid tones and tints, but flowered taffetas are bespoken for evening wear, made up in most picturesque fashion, too. Bouffancy, uneven and exceedingly full hemlines, huge to one-side bows, all these fascinating details silhouette themselves in the mind at sight of this exquisite mode. Perhaps most outstanding is the graceful capetel of spangled net which envelopes the shoulders so intriguingly. Too much cannot be said in regard to the shoulder cape and fichu effects, also floating draperies which are featured throughout the new stylings. Another interesting item is the corsage bouquet of feather flowers. Costume flowers are trending to the strikingly unique. They are being made of tinsel ribbons, of beads, of jewels and many trailing effects are observed. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (®. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.)

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 1884; the General Code of Ohio; Sec. 12514 Code of Ohio; the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities and services of the property finited 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. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved herewith, recovered from the county 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. Mislied by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beacon Law, a two 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. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. M My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city. I hope to send you, under a separate cover, a discharge. Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last week, 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. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW FORUM UNDER NO PROACH, nor our 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. Reading It or Reading It
