It is the Potto, or Slow Lemur, of West Africa, which came as a gift from Harvey Firestone, Jr. The Potto is about the size of a large squirrel, has enormous, glaring eyes which shine like small seawaterlights in the darkest animal, and is entirely the daytime animal. During the day it remains rolled up in a ball. It is a distant relative of the monkey. Give the local agent your news and order for The Gazette.

Chicago, Ill.—The coming of Ex-State Senator John P. Green, of Cleveland and his able discussion of "The Relation of the Afro-American to the Republican Party", in Wendell Phillips' High school hall, on the 20th, was an event that will long be remembered by the large, intelligent and appreciative audience which greeted him. It was the first time that the Senator had visited Chicago, since his speech with Frederick Douglass in the old rink in 1884 and his memorable political speeches here during the McKinley campaign. Hon. John P. Green. in 1896. It was difficult to tell which was the more surprised, the Senator at the marvelous growth of Chicago, or the audience, by reason of the wonderful vitality displayed by him, at 84 years of age, in his learned and eloquent speech in which not the ordinary arguments of the political speaker were listened to but historical and humorous, that were loudly and that were applauded. The Senator's brief "prelude", in which he contrasted the status of the modern woman, clothed in all the rights of citizenship by virtue of the Christian religion and the Republican party, with that of our women of former generations, drew from the large number of ladies present demonstrations of much pleasure. Senator Roberts, who with many other distinguished citizens of both races, was the latter of the petitioners of Senator Green the following day, that in his opinion Mr. Green was the most eloquent and able speaker of his age in the United States. AMBASSADOR HERRICK U. S. Representative to France Home on a Visit, Says He Tried His First Case in Squire Green's Justice of the Peace Court, Many Years Ago. Cleveland, Sept. 18, '28. Mr. John P. Green, 510 Backstone Bldg. Cleveland, Ohio. My dear "Squire" Green:—I was very much touched with receiving the delightful poems, of which you were the author, and especially, your letter of greeting. I think the first case I ever tried in a justice court, was before you; and I have a recollection then of my first meeting with you. I was presented by Mr. Albert Weed, my friend and roommate, and from that time on to here we have been very warm friends and I am sure, this will continue to the end. You say that you are 84. Well, that is about ten years more than my own age. However, I see no reason why you should not go on up to par and pass par. John Bigelow, former minister to France, visited me in his 84th year and he said that the happiest and most useful period in his life has been from 74 to 84 and then quoted this delightful little couplet, from Waller, which I have always remembered: "The soul's dark cottage, battered and decaved. Lets in the light through the chinks that time has made." tak time has not Blowen into his useful- ness and delight to his friends until his 94th year. With warmest regards, I am Sincerely yours, Myron T. Herrick. Roscoe and Lethia Placated! Chicago, Ill.—The western "jim-crow" branch of the G. O. P. campaign committee which, under the direction of Homer Phillips here, threatened to bolt two weeks ago, has been reconciled. The branch claimed that the budget of $2,000 a week was too low and that salaries six dollars for four were thus diminished a day for expenses were too low for the higher grade men. All of these differences have been ironed out. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AGAINST THE GROSS CARICATURING OF AFRO-AMERICANS. The Irish and Jewish People Have Practically Put a Stop to It as Far as They Are Concerned—Peter Toussaint—Dr. D. A. McCarthy Right! People in the United States of Irish blood (or at least a considerable number of them) have been very resentful of certain moving-picture plays which have, in many scenes, depicted the Irish as a drunken and rowdy set. Not only in the United States have the Irish resented these plays; in Australia also the showing of the pictures has been the signal for vigorous objection. People of Irish descent there as well here have seen in such portraits as in indulious attack upon the good name of the Irish and Catholic element. They have reacted accordingly; and the distributors of the offending plays have learned that there is a national and religious sensitivity to which they can not run counter, if they wish to keep the patronage necessary for a successful business enterprise. While, of course, there is such a thing as going to absurd extremes in this matter, we all ought to be glad that the day of coarse and offensive caricature is gone by. Good-married is one thing but insincere and obscene caricature of things that are so fundamental as to be sacred is another and a very different matter. world why there should not be the occasional portrayal of a Negro who is neither a clown nor a villain. None of us can live long in any American community without meeting with examples of good living, serious purpose, excellent citizenship and intellectual power among our colored brethren. Why should the thrilling self-sacrifice, the darling adventure, the heart-touching paths be all confined to the white man? Is there no tragedy in Negro life? Have[el] Negroes[not] the same feelings as we have? Why should the black man and the black woman be always dragged in merely for comic relief? Shakespeare makes the unhappy Shyloch state the case not only for his own but for all discriminated against people when he puts into his mouth the well-known speech in which occur the words: "Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands organs, hummings, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same Winter and Summer as a Christian is?" In other words we are all human, all pretty much the The Negroes of the United States have a grievance in this particular. They are our fellow-citizens; they are our fellow-Christians; a goodly number of them are our fellow-Catholics, and it is high time there was a movement against the gross caricaturing to which they are at present subjected in the movies; the editor of a published book, pertinently calling attention to the black man's grievance against the movies, says: "In no picture that we have seen in all our 'movie-going' has any Negro ever appeared other than as a subservient lackey, a clown, an ignoramus, or a criminal. Negroes, according to the movies, are all accomplished chicken-stealers, razor-welders, crap-shooters, and watermelon eaters. They grovel at the feet, the old man, and the switching at the crumbs offered them in the shape of tips. They perpetually wear on their faces broad grins. . . . When the Negro is depicted as a criminal, he is depicted as a criminal of boundless rascality; his crimes are magnified until the audience is in the 'nigger-lynching' mood. We do not contend that no Negro is funny, or that no Negro is a rascal; our contention is that all Negroes are magnified than all women. Some whites as well as some Negroes are funny, and some are consummate rascals, as tales in the daily napers demonstrate." This is exactly what all the racial groups affected by movie characterization may say. When certain Irish people in Boston once objected to a certain play which was looked upon as an utterly wrong picture of Irish culture, they believed that it would be as sensible for the Scotch people to object to "Macbeth," because Shakespeare had made the protagonist of that play such a bloody, treacherous villain. But the point was not at all well-taken; for in Shakespeare's play, the majority of the people on the stage are honest, brave and virtuous; and are the man and his wife. In other words, there is a balance as in life; and the villainy of the Scotch chieftain and his wife is all the more striking because it is set against the background of the honesty, patriotism and good intent of the other characters. But when (as in the Irish play which was objected to) all the characters were clowns or rowdies, when in any of them, then, indeed, the representation felt against it as a representation of Irish life was well justified. So in the case of the aggrieved Negroes. There is no reason in the SOMETHING NEW! That Our Thoughtful Should Take Interest In—Enroll At Once. According to an announcement by Alonzo Grace, director of Cleveland's evening public schools, two special courses will be established, during this school session, at Bolton school, E. 898 St. and Carnegie Ave., in connection with the program of adult education. The subjects of the courses will be "The Contribution of the Afro-American to American History", held on Monday nights, and "The Contribution of the Afro-American to American Literature", on Tuesday nights. Another course for Wednesday nights, treating upon race relations, is contemplated. The courses begin, Monday night, and will be held between 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock for 12 weeks. Russell H Davis will assist Director Grace. A registration fee of one dollar will entitle persons to the full 12 weeks course.

And other words we are all human, all pretty much the same under different exterior. A few months ago I wrote in these columns about the Negro, Peter Toussaint, one of New York's pioneer Catholics. The only difference fundamentally between Toussaint and his contemporary Catholics lay, not in his color, but in the deeper Catholic faith and more active Catholic charity which he manifested toward everyone, black or white, with whom he cared him, when we recall other outstanding colored men including the good Negro priests who have offered the Holy Sacrifice in our own and in other lands; and when we think of the thousands of devout Catholics (to say nothing of the good colored people of other communities) living today all over the United States, "tolling, rejoicing, sorrowing," just like the rest of us, what right have we to believe in the politics of Negro charm and have been sounded when we see him portrayed as a lustful villain or a grinning clown? We Catholics, who, in Protestant surroundings, have so often known the bitterness of being discriminated against, should be especially watchful in the case of other minority groups, and should throw our influence in favor of just treatment toward those who may, for the time being, be the victims of suspicion, misunderstanding on political matters, we are with such any other descent, we should not let our particular group absorb all our interest, but should work for general justice—Dennis A.

Harry C. Smith. HOPKINS AND THE GAS CO. City Manager Will R. Hopkins has never fooled The Gazette for a single moment, in his "gallery-playing" with the East Ohio Gas Company. The latter has the "whip hand" in the contest over rates and when their contract is renewed will play it successfully, this time, just as it did when the same question was up before. Just stick a pin in this and see how correct The Gazette is when the matter is finally settled. Don't let Will fool you with his "gallery-playing hokum and buncombe", published almost daily in the newspapers. He has (in four years) bonded the city almost to death and will bury it on election day, if all the bonds he has asked are given him by thoughtless voters. Keep before you the fact that his "gallery-playing hokum and buncombe" is only a smoke-screen to cover his wholesale request for bonds at the November election. HOOVER, BLEASE, STEPHENS. Last March, Secretary of Commerce Herbert L. Hoover, present Republican candidate for President, wiped out the segregation of our clerks in the census bureau (in his department) at the request of Prof. Neval H. Thomas and his coworkers at Washington, D. C. Washington daily papers in announcing the fact made their publications as sensational as possible with the result that "got on the prejudiced nerves" of Senator Cole Blease of South Carolina and Senator Hubert D. Stephens of Mississippi, the two states in all the Union in which our population is larger than that of the whites. Their caustic criticism of Secretary Hoover was almost as bad as their insulting references to the governmental clerks in the census bureau and our people generally, in the speeches they delivered in the U. S. Senate, April 10 and May 28, respectfully. The Washington (D. C.) Times-Herald (daily) of April 1, 28, sald: "E. W. Curry of Springfield, Ohio, came to Washington to Secretary Hoover about the alleged discrimination, but found that Hoover's order had already abolished segregation" in the census bureau. So the credit for that great accomplishment must be given to Prof. Thomas and his coworkers, and to Herbert L. Hoover. Curry, who opposed his own people and sided with the Ku Klux Klan in that Springfield "jim-crow" school fight, several years ago, had nothing to do with it. So give credit to whom it is due. Since Blease and Stephens and other southern Democrats have "made a political foot-ball" of Mr. Hoover for abolishing segregation in the census bureau there is only one thing for our people to do now and that is to give him the support in the present campaign and on election day in November he is clearly entitled to. While he may not have done all in his department we wanted him to do yet the fact remains that he has done more than-President Coolidge and all his other cabinet members who have segregation in their departments. HAWKINS AND COOPER. When Dr. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, D.C., was mentioned in connection with the position of head of the "jim crow" division of the Republican National Committee, for the present national campaign, we were of those who did not believe that he could be induced to accept the place. We always, heretofore, regarded John R. Hawkins as a high-class man, one of the very best this race of ours had produced. He had wisely eschewed politics and stuck to his church, educational and financial work ever since we had known of him. Recently, he was one of the three speakers at a political "emancipation celebration" that was one of the most satisfactory, monumental failures of the kind our people of this city ever saw and we have lived in Cleveland over half a century. It was in held in Color-Line Luna Park and the other speakers were Oscar DePriest of Chicago and Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati. Republican color-line candidate for Governor of Ohio. Where eight or ten thousand of our people were expected, by those promoting the political meeting, a perfect flasco, less than two hundred gathered to hear the speakers and most of them over an hour late, too, in assembling. "The Old Reliable" Gazette had for weeks, months, plied with our people of Cleveland, those with manhood and womanhood, self and race respect to stay away from that miserable place, Color-Line Luna park, and thousands did so. Thank the Lord! Now we are again, for we did so and successfully, two years ago, when Cooper was defeated, pleading with Ohio Afro-Americans to refuse to vote for Myers Y. Cooper, a man who has drawn a color-line on our people in Cincinnati ever since he has seen in the real estate business there, and we understand that has been all of twenty-five years. Dr. John R. Hawkins knew of Luna Park and Cooper before his recent visit to Cleveland because we made it our business to send him marked copies of The Gazette carrying that information. And yet! and in the face of that fact, in his speech here at Color-Line Luna park he is quoted as having urged his hearers to vote the entire Republican ticket in November which of course includes Color-Line Myers Y. Cooper and Frank W. Geiger of Springfield, candidate for the State Supreme Court, who "flirted" with the Ku Klux Klan of his city, several years ago, doing much to obstruct our people in their memorable and successful fight against "jim crow" schools in that city. Right there, and we regret greatly to have to say it, was where Hawkins fell with a dull thud from the high-class pedestal, we had up to that time felt he adorned, to the disgustingly low level of the cheap, boot-licking "Negro" politician. That is, of course, if he was quoted correctly (as stated above) by the local daily press. Our people cannot. MUST NOT vote for candidates on any ticket who will insult and mistreat them—treat them in any way as being less than American citizens, and that is just exactly what Cooper and Geiger are guilty of. Brothers and sisters, throut Ohio, pass the word along—tell all you meet why we cannot. MUST NOT vote for either Cooper or Geiger, the color-line candidate twins, if we would retain our race loyalty, manhood and womanhood, self and race respect. Smith-Hoover Politics "Haltz" School Wilmington, Del.—There is excitement galore here over the opening of our new high school, which was built equipped by Pierre Saul Pont at a cost of over $1,000,000. Politics is at the bottom of the trouble. Du Pont, a Republican, is a supporter of Smith for President and recently gave $50,000 to his campaign fund. Republicans who are in power in school and municipal offices are dilatory in appropriating the money to improve the our citizens are holding protest meetings and have had several conferences with members of the School Board.

New York City—The New York state athletic commission, Tuesday, approved the title match between Joe Dundee of Baltimore, welter-weight champion, and Young Jack Thompson, California Afro-American.

George Godfrey The Best In such discussion as centers on the identity of the next heavyweight champion one hears surprisingly little about George Godfrey, the black behemoth of Leiperville, Pa. and yet of all the contenders for the vacated post he seems the most formidable. If given his chance to compete in the winter's tournament from which Gene Tunney's successor will emerge we feel he would be an even money bet to ultimately win, but he were to be faced with Johnny Risko again. However, the chances are the colored man will be barred from competition, as he was in last year's series of elimination contests.—Ray Campbell in The Cleveland (Daily) News. THINK FOR YOURSELF! If Candidate Hoover wins, it will be a victory for big business, the anti-Saloon League, the M. E. Church, the Quakers, the Ku Klux Klan, the "lily whites," and the bourbon South. If Candidate Smith wins, labor, foreigners, Catholics, Jews, wets and the middle class South will celebrate. Should Republicans win, can the churchmen and big business save you from the ku klux and "lily whites?" Jews and Catholics, with whom you combined to destroy klan influence in the nation, are with the Democratic party. Can you call upon them for help and at the same time cast your ballot for the G. O. P? Should Democrats win, can you expect Catholics. Jews and foreigners to make common cause with you in your job, a decent home, a proper school and a ballot where you have none? Now is no time to listen to paid politicians. They are not thinking of you, they have eyes on their pay envelope and a political job after election. Old party lines are down. New ones are reforming; choice isn't easy. You can't decide wisely unless you THINK, discuss and elaborate. It's your problem and your job and you can't turn it over to anyone else.—Baltimore (Md.)

"Aunt" Mabel Willebrandt (white), Hoover's aide and an Asst. U. S. Attorney General, started the campaign by putting a bomb under Perry Howard and Ben Davis.

A Mother of children, and faithful, they say, Came, palilid—dejected and weeping, one day. Her shoulders and arms showed shapely and fair. Through rents in her clothing, by husband laid bare. Her words, which were broken by foreign accent. The scarce understood, yet, express- ed what she meant. And stains on her waist, which in color were red. Gave mute information of all she had said. What glaring offense, in the sight of high Heaven. And torture her as, for unpard'nable sin! The husband — *misnomer*, in baid drunken rage. Like wild heat escaped from weak prison cage.

An unequivocal indorsement of the candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith and a biting attack on the Ku Klux Klan were made by Congressman Martin L. Davey of Kent, Democratic candidate for governor, at a closed meeting of Cuyahoga County Democratic workers, Tuesday night, at Hotel Cleveland. He told the council and county workers that he never accepted the support of the Klan, and that he had defeated a Klan-indorsed candidate for Congress in two campaigns. Willed Three Houses. Baltimore, Md. — Three fine, old homes in the fashionable district of Annapolis, long the property of Maryland's oldest and most prominent families, on Sept. 18, '28 became the properties of Charlotte Andrews Johnson, young daughter of Matt. Hattle R. Johnson, seamstress and domestic servant, who has long served in the family of the late Miss Margaret Andrews. The bequests were made in the will of the late Miss Andrews J. Johnson, at the time, was bequeathed a portion of the proceeds from the sale of other property, which it is estimated will bring her $20,000. A Delicious Food Rural Lite Steps Backward 50 Years When Ohio Telephone Lines Are Wrecked THE STORM BLOOMINGVILLE TELEPHONE OPERATORS SOME OF THE TRUCKS FROM FOUR STATES THAT RUSHED RESTORATION OF BELL TELEPHONE LINES Fred Beiner and his wife are blind, but they operate the telephone switchboard at Bloomingville, a hamlet in Erie county Ohio. They know the sound of every "drop" that clicks when a call comes in on the board; in fact, they know the voice of practically every subscriber in the exchange. But on Friday, March 30, there were no clicks, no voices. Practically all of the 104 telephones in the small exchange were out of service. The worst Ohio sleet storm in a lifetime had broken every wire, and nearly all the poles were on the ground. Greater part of the population, got out their wagone or flivers and did their talking face-to-face. They didn't mind that so much, according to Beiler, but there were several times when more serious situations required quicker communication. "There were several cases of sickness," he says, and the folks drove down her to call Doctor Gersuch, who lives in Castalia but takes care of the people out this way. When they found they couldn't get through over the toll circuit to Castalia, they had to drive in. They were lucky that none of them had to have the doc town, and within easy walk distance of each other. The le people couldn't reach other tow and the 200 rural users were not any service. They had to do or walk to communicate with outside world. After the first two days, S dusky had long-distance communication, but service to Castalia in Bloomingville was not resto until late in April. By the first May, about 75 of the Bloomingville telephones were working again. "Everybody was sure surprit to have service so quickly," s Beiler, "because they didn't how our men could rebuild the town." "At first it was uncanny," said Beiler. "We are used to having the neighbors call in during the day and evening, usually with a word of greeting. But when the sleet storm came on, we couldn't ring any subscribers, and we didn't hear from them. We couldn't communicate with either Castilia or Sandusky. "When we got used to it, it was pleasant in one way. Usually one of us must stay at the switchboard, but after the storm we could all eat our meals together. It was like a vacation." Although his telephone job was stopped temporarily, Beiler kept in touch with his subscribers. Most of them drove by soon after the storm, going over a side road to reach the Beiler home—the living room of which is also the telephone "exchange." They reported their lines completely wrecked, and said they didn't see how service to all the community could be restored in less than two or three months. The whole section reverted to conditions of 50 years ago, as far as communication was concerned. Farmers, who comprise the greater part of the population got out their wagons or flivers and did their talking face-to-face. They didn't mind that so much, according to Beiler, out there were several times when more serious situations required quicker communication. "There were several cases of sickness," he says, "and the folks drove down her, to call Doctor Gcrsun, who lives in Castalia but takes care of the people out this way. When they found they couldn't get through over the toll circuit to Castalia, they had to drive in. They were lucky that none of them had to have the doctor in a big hurry." The saddest cases were those of farmers whose flivers refused to work. They couldn't call the garage at Seven Mile House, on the Columnous Pike, so they either had to walk to the nearest neighbor who had a car, or walk to the garage. There are only a few business places in the section, out all of these depend on telephone service. The Central Erie grain elevator uses long distance to get up-to-the-minute grain quotations, and also sells grain by telephone. Without service, it was necessary to drive to Sandusky. A cement company also sells by telephone, obtains price quotations and transacts other business by long distance. Here, too, it was necessary to drive to Sandusky. A representative of the company went to the telephone office every morning, making the day's calls and answering any calls that had been received for him since the previous day. In Castalia about 40 telephones were left in service but these were al. in the built-up portion of the town, and within easy walking distance of each other. The local people couldn't reach other towns and the 200 rural users were without any service. They had to drive or walk to communicate with the outside world. After the first two days, Sandusky had long-distance communication, but service to Castalia and Bloomingville was not restored until late in April. By the first of May, about 75 of the Bloomingville telephones were working again. "Everybody was sure surprised to have service so quickly," said Beiler, "because they didn't see how our men could rebuild the lines in less than a couple of months. Everybody had been getting along the best they could, and none complained, but it is amazing how pleased they are to have service again. It just shows that nobody wants to go back to the good old days, and that business today couldn't get along without the telephone." Larger communities like Findlay, Fostoria and Norwalk evidently felt the same way about it. People there realized that the interruption couldn't be helped, but were worried for a time about the lack of modern facilities. When scores of construction trucks from adjoining states, hundreds of telephone men, and cartoons of new equipment began to pour in, they soon became enthusiastic about the restoration. Temporary long-distance service was being given in a week, thousands of telephones were restored and service generally was back to normal in the larger towns within a month. In Findlay, the city council and chamber of commerce both adopted resolutions praising the telephone men for their quick work of restoration. Dr. LeROYN.

Mr. H. Green, a theological student of Shorter College, Little Rock, came with Mr. and Mrs. Panky in their new Chrysler car via Michigan. Messrs. Panky and Green called on The Gazette, Monday afternoon. Samuel Costanzo, 3314 Scovill Ave., was charged with first degree murder, last Saturday, in the slaying of Patrolman Ernest Ford, the second police officer slain in Cleveland in less than a week. The charging of Costanzo came after his 15-year-old son, Joseph, had implicated him in the killing in a statement to detectives, according to Detective Sergeant Charles Cavallo. Ford was the fourth Costanzo home, where investigating officers found a fifty-gallon still. The officer was off duty at the time and had not received any police order to make an investigation. 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 quadriennial registration is in effect. Regular registration days for the November election will be April 4, 11, 19 and 20. Any elector who 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. As previously announced, Wilberforce University and West Virginia Institute will stage their annual football game in Cleveland, Thanksgiving Day. For the past four years, the game has been held in Columbus. Cuyahoga lodge, Elks, secured this "classic" after a lengthy and energetic campaign, planned and conducted by Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, E. R. It is to be hoped that, like it to Color-Luna Luna Park where thousands of our people, who would like to see the game, simply will not go to see anything. That was proved beyond all question or doubt on Sept. 4, '28, when the same lodge tried to hold a political emancipation celebration and made such a flat failure of it for the reason that so very many of our people would not and will not go to that color-line place. It would be most unfortunate indeed, not only for the city, to have the game anything other than a tremendous success in point of attendance. Take the game away from Color-Luna Luna park and make it the greatest success it has ever been! It has just leaked out that the Color-Line Luna Park management, just prior to its issuance of the letter, denying that it discriminated against our people, that our local contemporary was so thoughtless as to publish prior to Sept. 4, '28, and which we throw into a waste-basket, had paid seven hundred and fifty dollars to two of our women who had been barred from the park, one of them being assaulted at the gate), a settlement of their cases against the park manned the gate, was a damage case and the other was for five hundred dollars under our Ohio Civil Rights law. The Luna letter was simply an effort to help Councilman Tom Fleming and others of his committee toie "Negroes" to the park to hear Hawkins, DePriest and Myers Y, Cooper, color-line Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, speak at the alleged "emancipation celebration" Sept. 4, '28, which was such a failure from an arrest at handpoint. Rich, isn't it? Even on Sept. 4, '28 the bath-pool, as always, was called by "Negroes"! Lord, have mercy on Tom Fleming and his kidney! How much longer will our loyal self and race respecting people of this community tolerate them? Many of the Elks did not and will not go to that park. Good!

CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY ENEMY More Than Thousand Human Lives Claimed by Deadly Gas. "One of man's most deadly enemies, carbon monoxide, which has been called the universal poison gas," will form the subject of a new educational motion picture film to be produced within the near future by the United States bureau of mines, Department of Commerce," according to a statement issued by the Chicago Motor club, which bases its assertion on a bulletin received from the Department of Commerce at Washington. "It is said that more than a thousand human lives were claimed by this deadly gas during the past year, and that 700 deaths were due to drivers of automobiles being overcome while their engines were idling in closed garages. In photographing this film, not only will the peril of carbon monoxide contained in automobile engine exhausts be emphasized, but attention will also be given to the hazards due to the presence of carbon monoxide under certain conditions in factories, in homes, and in fact, anywhere that there may be possibility of exposure to the products of incomplete combustion of fuels." What Film Will Show. The Chicago Motor club bulletin points out that, "The film will show how, by proper ventilation, accumulations of carbon monoxide may be prevented. There will also be pictured methods of first aid treatment and resuscitation which may be administered to a victim of the poison gas if found before death has occurred. The film will be given wide circulation by the bureau of mines in the hope that, through the universal language of visualization, knowledge of this deadly enemy of mankind may become widespread, thus serving to diminish the annual heavy death toll from this cause." Stop Annoying Hissing by Knotting the Hose Occasionally suction windshield wipers are afflicted with leakage, with the result that the driver will hear an annoying blasting sound when he accelerates the engine. When this happens he's puzzled because he knows that if he disconnects the rubber tubing the blasting will be worse. Here is where a temporary remedy is in order, no matter how makeshift it may be. With a piece of string tie a loop in the rubber housing. This will serve as a valve to stop suction at this point. Another plan is to disconnect the rubber tubing and plug the end of the copper tubing with a piece of chewing gum. It is also permissible to pinch the end of the copper tubing with the pilers. This may shorten the tube a little, since the pinched part may have to be cut off when the wiper is repaired, but a slightly longer rubber connection will cover this. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS Postponing needed repairs only adds to the expense bill. There isn't a single dimmer among the bright lights of automobile production. Unlike umpires, judges reverse their decisions. A motorist in Ireland was recently fined $1,070 for violation of a traffic rule. Later the judge reduced the fine to $11.25. Motor vehicles have become the main factor in transportation in western Australia, where new sections have been developed so rapidly as to outdistance the railroads. "I don't recall any such accident," said the hit-and-run driver, as usual. "That's fair enough," replied the judge, easily. "You'll be in fall so long I shall have no recollection that you are there." Watch Your Car Doors Several serious incidents have been reported during the first six months of the year involving cases where children have fallen out of machines due to extreme carelessness on the part of the motorist, according to a bulletin issued by Si. Mayer, president of the automobile club of Illinois. Never allow a child to sit next to the door of an automobile if it is possible, nor extend it any such privileges as closing or opening the doors for passengers. In this wise many doors, which would otherwise seem securely fastened have merely been closed without the double-snap lock taking hold. A three-year-old son of a party of tourists was recently hurled to the pavement from a car traveling at an approximate speed of 40 miles per hour. The child was severely injured and may possibly be crippled for life, due, no doubt, to some one's carelessness. "At this youthful age, the child could not be expected to do the things that the growup should of done," declared Mr. Mayer, and it is the duty of every motorist having children, or for that matter, anyone as a passenger to carefully guard against this form of accident. Trouble Light Is Handy in Working Around Car The best place for a trouble light is where it will shed its rays on the work as nearly as possible in line with the line of sight.

Ecuador Bars Cigarette Lighters on Motor Cars Matches and motor cars may have nothing in common to the layman, but to one American automobile manufacturer they mean something in so far as motor-car shipments to Ecuador are concerned. In this South American republic the government has just granted a Swedish match concern the sole right to sell matches in that country. Under this contract matches mean anything that produces fire, and therefore electric cigarette lighters come under the government ban. Ecuadoran consuls all over the world have been instructed to refuse to certify invoices for automobiles on which cigarette lighters are standard equipment, while masters of ships calling at ports in this country must place all foreign matches under seal. Clearly Seen Road Never operate a car at such speed that it cannot be stopped within the portion of the road immediately ahead. A clearly seen course is limited by curves and roadside objects upon them; by the brows of hills which are being ascended; by other vehicles; by approaching headlights and the condition of the windshield; by the intensity and direction of projection of headlights and other factors. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928. Twin Sisters Answer Zanes- ville 'Phone Calls Misses Anna and Erma Ensley There is a great deal of sisterly feeling among the girls who operate the telephone switchboards in Zanesville, and it's due to more than the comradeship of working together to serve the public, for their are six sets of sisters among them. Among the sisters, there is one pair of twins, the Misses Anna and Ena Ensley. They both started to work as telephone operators on May 3, 1926, and have continued their joint care ever since, as operators at the local switchboard. In the case of most of the other sisters, the older girl first took up the occupation and then helped a younger sister obtain a position. Evidently the girls speak well of the work, for it is notable that 11 of the other operators are sisters of girls who formerly worked in the same exchange. What Some Editors Say TELEPHONE DEVELOPMENT From your home or office in Columbus you can talk over your telephone to people in city or village or on the farm at almost any place you select in the United States, Cuba and Great Britain, and reach many principal cities in Mexico and continental Europe. That is one of the announcements in the annual report of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. To build and develop the plants and equipment that assure that service in the United States money amounting to $3,457,000,000 has been expended. During the last year the investment was increased more than a million dollars for each day. * * * The most important improvement being made by the parent company is the establishment of toll cables between important points. One runs from Boston and New York to Chicago, another is under construction from New York along the Atlantic Coast territory to Florida. One of the big cable toll lines runs through Ohio. Other lines of cable will be built so that toll business is to be handled very largely over the new cables, leaving the wires for the ordinary volume of business. The telephone has won its place in American life. Brought in as much of a luxury at the beginning, it has become a necessity; that need is emphasized each year and more wires are added, because the daily demand seems never to slacken. Probably there is no large corporation in the land with greater ability in meeting new conditions or finer financial direction. The parent Bell Company has made itself indispensable in the radio development. It never contemplated fighting that improvement. It joined with it and to the advantage of both. * * * * Few people stop to contemplate the importance of the 'telephone as they use it during their business hours, but it has tied distant nations together, helped eliminate distance in this country for business and has become indispensable to business house and home.—Ohio State Journal. TELEPHONES It has long been a matter of habit to criticize public service—public utilities like the telephone, street cars, gas and electric service. Telephones, especially, have come in for the barrage of jokesmiths, letter writers and newspaper editors. But the fact is—apparent to the fair-minded—that the change and improvement in telephone service in America is one of the most interesting and outstanding developments of modern industrial civilization. Today a long distance call can be made between cities thousands of miles apart in from one to three minutes. Frequently a long distance call requires less than half a minute, or no longer than a local call. Such service is of recent development. Motor car and airplane development has been so much more dramatic and specular that few have given much thought to what has been going on in the telephone world—Toledo Blade. Subscribe NOW! A. 16 ULSTER OF SUPER CLOAKING SMART TOPCOAT FOR FALL THE NEW YORKER THE "classy" thing for this fall in the way of dress fabrics is lightweight woolen. For these new woolens, so delicate in texture and novel in weave, fashionists are showing no end of enthusiasm. There are infinite versions from which to choose, ranging from tweed mixtures and intriguing patterned effects to monotone weaves as sheer almost as chiffon, also very beautiful iridescent effects obtained by interweaving rayon with wosted. Typical of the new mode is the attractive Chanel model in this picture. The material is a striking mixture of red wool and rayon. The neckline treatment with soft tie bond, the belt of self-fabric with fancy buckle, the tie arrangement of the skirt, each interprets an outstanding style detail. That there is a particular type of woolen for each particular type of costume makes the theme of fine woolens all the more fascinating. The story of the new autumn worsted weaves runs somewhat like this: Tweeds, some boldly patterned, others in illusive mingled all-over colorings, qualify for sportswear, rough sturdy tweed for travel, broadcloths and suedelike woolens for formal clothes, sheer wool georgettes and de luxe novelties for dressy costumes. It is interesting, too, to note the styling of the new woolens. It ranges from the tailored coat-dress street type and various two-piece effects, en- ULSTER OF SUPER SMART ON a crisp autumn day, there is nothing so swagger, so convincing of utmost chic, as a patrician-made coat of quality-kind woolen cloaking without an atom of fur in sight. Choose tweed, which is presented in such alluring weaves and colorings this season or downy plaidback worsted or any of the new soft patterned woolens or those which subscribe to modernistic design. For early wear the unfurred type is a particularly smart coat item. An ular like the one in the picture bears an unimaginable cachet of good style in both the standpoint of material and fine tailoring. It is a soft deep-pap brown woolen reversed with plaid, and browns are "the thing" material. Such a coat is a possession, one which insures protection and dependable service, also correct mode, not only for one brief season, but for months to come. Being conservatively fashioned, the model illustrated is the sort which really never goes out of style. There are, however, certain details which give it assured standing as an exponent of the very latest. For one thing, there are its deep cuffs which are so much deeper than the ordinary ones. Note how cleverly they are designed with a flare which is not a flare because the designer has seen fit to curb its flaring intention with an adroit fold of the cloth. The patch pockets! Huge, are they not? For the travel and utility coat of distinction fashion decrees just such. Among the most popular new coatings are those which feature ombre py of The maintenance wh tering by stages into the realm of dressy styles in endless expression of charming unusual things. In fact, the sheer cloth dress, made on fluttery feminine lines, competes this season, with silks, satins and velvets for afternoon wear. The vogue for bright colors is also accented by the new woolens. Shades of blue, also red and wine shades, are very much in evidence. Yellowish beige, yellow brown, red browns, very dark brown, colors of copper cast and many other of the exceedingly smart brown trends are high-lighted in the realm of dress woolens. Green, too, from almond to jungle, is stressed. Among pretty new woolens are those with fancy borderings. These inspire the stylist to create very novel effects in dress design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) CLOAKING TOPCOAT FOR FALL effects. The markings run either horizontal or vertical. As to design, the modern woolens emphasize a wealth of it. There is a design for every taste. If one prefers illusive patterns faintly suggested, there are basket-woven woolens galore which stress them in a thousand and one intriguing versions. Or if one feels an urge for the bold modernistic patternings, never was the call so enthusiastically met in way of effects which startle while they command admiration. These coats of many colors, patterned in squares and angles, zigzags stripes and plaids, may or may not be fur trimmed. It is all a matter or taste. Some very advance modes have their edges finished with wide velvet bindings which are stitched row and row. They are wonderfully attractive especially when the wide belt is also of the stitched velvet. For dressy wear there is a promi- ning outlook for black broadcloth. In Paris leading stylists are trimming these coats in flat black furs, such as Persian lamb, caracul, and broadtail JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (® 1922 Western Newspaper Union.)

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. 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 weaken a chain, shall be deemed a murder" for the purpose of this chapter.

Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, receives a sum to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made.

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 such a mob (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284.

Section 6237.

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 from such county for safekeeping, 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 from which the mob came on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other nor- thern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynch- ing by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynchning 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: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being 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 commercial facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 persecutor 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 outcry for the passage of the Beaver Beacon Law, 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. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter (401) 825-7200 this city, I venture to send you, under a 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 B. 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 have been no no occasion for criticism edited THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER PROACH, 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. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained.
