BELLEFONTAINE. — Mrs. Flora Harris died in Springfield, Sept. 27, leaving four children. — Bellefontaine had a great fair, this year. The history of the Democratic party in the south has been thoroughly in opposition to the hopes and aspiration of our people, and liberal Democrats are unable to liberalize enough southerners on the rights of the Afro-American to participate in government. The Democratic convention failed even to mention, much less disapprove, the lynching of an Afro-American just prior to its meeting at Hearst Center in New York, a convention door. Its program of law enforcement does not offer our people any hope of enfranchisement in the Democratic South, while the Republican party does offer larger opportunity for constructive work for the welfare of our people.

San Francisco, Cal.-Jackie Fieldes (white), sensational young Los Angeles fighter, gave Young Jack Thompson of Oakland, who recently stopped Joe Dundee, wetterweight champion, a terrific beating in ten rounds here, Monday evening. Joc. a Wonder! Akron, O. — "Smoky Joe" Williams, 52-year-old pitcher of the Baltimore Black Sox, recently hurled a no-hit no-run game, facing only twenty-nine batters. His victims were the leading semi-pro white team of this city. That's sure "going some" for "a 52-year-old." Baby Joe Gans' Latest Victory. New York City — Baby Joe Gans of California outpointed Tony Vacarell of this city in the main bout of ten rounds at the Olympia Sporting club here, last Saturday night. It was Gans' fight all the way. The Californian outweighed the New York fighter by 146 $\frac{1}{2}$ to 139 $\frac{1}{2}$. Johnson Defeats Chuck Wiggins Tellings to Play Tigers. The Tellings (white), champions of Triple A, have booked two games with the Cleveland Tigers, for Sunday at Dunn Field. The Tigers were originally scheduled to play the St. Louis Stars, but our National League series is not yet over and that settles that. Dean, the Tigers' no-hit ace, will hurl the first game. "Gorilla" Jones vs. Leonard. Akron, O—Two ten-round topped the season's first indoor fight card, held at the Armory here, last night. "Gorilla" Jones, our Akron welterweight, met Billy Leonard (white) of New York in the main contest and Eddie Ruttman, Akron lightweight, met Frankie Chatterton of Cleveland in the other contest. The two establish a reputation as one of the best battlers in his class in this part of the country. He has fought most of his recent engagements in Akron and Cleveland, where he has acquired a good following. The result of last night's contests will appear in the next issue of The Gazette. McVey-Courtney Bout. The local boxing commission, at its meeting, last week Friday, approved the matching of Jack McVey New York City, and George Courtney, Oklahoma, middleweight contenders, for the main bout of twelve rounds in the first Public Hall bout of the winter season, Oct. 8. Courtney, generally recognized as the foremost contender for Mickey Walker's middleweight coronet, will be meeting McVey for the second time. The cowboy drew the official nom over the Harlemite when they mixed at Coney Island, several months back. It turned out to be a warm fight and there still are many who declare that McVey is expected at least. So Jack is expected to "clean up", Monday night. He looked really great in several appearances here, last year, while Courtney, in his soft conquest of Ernie Owens at Taylor Bowl, not long ago, convinced many of the ringsiders that he was on his way to be the next middleweight champ. Roberti-Goldfrey Battle Postponed. New York City.—Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, was dark, Wednesday night. Roberto Roberti, the Italian giant, was forced to withdraw, Tuesday, from his scheduled ten-round bout with George Godfrey, our giant pugilist from Leiperville, Pa., because of a cold in his kidneys. Promoter Fugazy decided to postpone the entire show until a later date, probably Oct. 15. The Roberti-Goldfrey fight is a puzzler; we can't understand why Roberti accepted it. Godfrey is entirely too big, strong and experienced for the Italian, who can't fight a great deal at this stage of his career, but can well in the body and Godfrey whacks to the middle as does no other heavyweight. He ought to flatten Roberti in a couple of rounds and will if he extends himself. And he is foolish if he doesn't for a quick knockout over the Italian would serve as a wedge with which he could force himself into Tex Rickard's heavyweight elimination tournament. Rosenwald Gives $25,000. Montclair, N. J. — Julius Rosenwald, Chicago, philanthropist, has given $25,000 toward the $150,000 "jim-crow Y" to be erected here, according to an announcement by Merton L. Beebe, general secretary. Will Play His Symphony Philadelphia, Pa.—Aaron Harrison's latest composition "Spiritual Fantasia" will be played by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra (white). The fantasia contains 12 of our spirituals, so arranged harmonically and contrapuntally as to obtain a classic setting plus a modern treatment. One movement contains a double canon in double counterpoint. Mr. Harrison is a member of the race. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS LIKE THOSE IN TEXAS INHUMAN TREATMENT AND HORRORS RULE SUPREME. Most of the Inmates Are Members of the Race, Helpless and Without Friends on the Outside—This Is "Down Home"! Houston, Tex.—The penal system of Texas stands revealed as one of the most inhuman in a section where inhuman penal systems are the rule rather than the exception. An investigation has just brought out a fact that the 12 prison farms in the bottoms of the Brazos and Trinity rivers. The prison system here is still afflicted with all the evils of the days up to 1909 when Texas prisoners were farmed out on contract to road builders and plantation owners. The baying of bloodhounds stillounds through the sewers, but this the long-eared hounds are maintained by the state. At each of the prison farms is a pack handled by a "dog sergeant" and two or three trusties. slave driving guard who sits in the shade of some tree, the white rapping his speed up orders at the poor brushes working in the broiling sun "Making a run for it" is a daily occurrence in state of the fact that the guards are armed and are only by whip and bloodhound terror on the prison farms of this state. This is true of the main penitentiary at Huntsville, about 35 miles from here, as well as the 12 prison farms in the bottoms of the Brazos and Trinity rivers. The prison system here is still afflicted with all the evils of the days up to 1909 when Texas prisoners were farmed out on contract to road builders and plantation owners. The baying of bloodhounds stillounds through the sewers, but this the long-eared hounds are maintained by the state. At each of the prison farms is a pack handled by a "dog sergeant" and two or three trusties. The guard isn't looking he makes a dash for freedom. As soon as the guard notices his absence the latter takes a chance shot in the hope of bringing him down. The sound of the shot also serves to bring up the "dog sergeant" to unleash the hounds upon the trail of their human prey. Catching a fagitive is a matter of less than an hour. The man is found tree badly manified and with his clothes torn off. The convict who does not work as hard as the guards think he should is given solitary confinement on dry bread and water. When he returns to work Guards Are Modern Simon Legras. Conditions are absolutely monstrous. The men are treated with the utmost savagery. They are given bad food and very little of that. And the slightest rebellion against such conditions is followed by brutal reprisal. The convicts are forced to work in squads of 14 in the fields. Over each squad is a LUEBERS-BAILEY NUPTIALS Wilberforce, O. — Miss Dorothy daughter of Mrs. Nancy Luebers and Leonard J. Balley of Detroit were married, Sunday noon, at the bride's uncle, Prof. George T. Simpson's residence, Dr. H. H. Summers of Payne Theological seminary officiating. Miss Martha Luebers of Cleveland, a sister of the bride, was an attendant, and Mr. Harry Luebers, a brother, of New Albany, Ind., was best man. The bride was dressed in a beautiful ensemble suit with a pale rose hand-embroidered blouse of gorgette crepe; shoes, hat, gloves and purse be matched and carried of butterfly roses and lilies of the valley. Immediately after the wedding, dinner was served. The bride and groom left, Sunday night, for Chicago to spend their honey-moon, and thence to Detroit, their future home. SPEAKS EIGHTEEN LANGUAGES Buffalo, N. Y. —George Gabriel, born in Abyssinia, Africa, a red cap in the Central Railway station here can speak many languages. He knew the great English general, Kitchener, whose attendant he was when a boy, and claims Theodore Roosevelt (deceased) saved his life on an African island, where he never dwarfed in eighteen languages, including Greek, Syrian, French, German, Polish, Russian, Servian, Bulgarian, Roumanian, Yiddish, Egyptian, not to speak of numerous African dialects. It was while Gabriel was attached to the British embassy at Sofia, as an interpreter that he was born. He was born to him, both his two sons, now students at the University of Vienna. She died in 1925. His eldest son is sixteen and his second fifteen. Additional Locals In honor of her brother, John A. Mitchell's birthday, Sept. 28, Sarah M. Bailey, of 8212 Quincy Ave., entertained at a sumptuous dinner, Saturday, about a dozen of their close friends. In addition to the delicious meal, there was radio and victrola music and cards, as well as cigars for the men folk. All left wishing both hostess and her brother "many returns of the day." An enthusiastic rally for Atty, Perry B. Jackson, our local candidate for the Legislature, was held, last evening, at the Central Ave. bath-house. Mr. Jackson and several others were the speakers. James W. Minor, Jackson's campaign manager, reported the activities of the primary campaign and there was action by the Jackson campaign committee toward furthering his interests in the present campaign and at the November election.

Members of the Race, Helpless ends on the Outside— slave driving guard who sits in the shade of some tree, the white rasping his apeed up orders at the poor brutes working in the brooding angel "Making a run for it" is a daily occurrence in spite of the fact that the guards are armed and are only too anxious to shoot. A convict ducks down in a cotton row and sneaks to the fence. When the guard isn't looking he makes a dash for freedom. As some guards are anxious the latter takes a chance shot in the hope of bringing him down. The sound of the shot also serves to bring up the "dog servant" to unleash the hounds upon the trail of their human prey. Catching a fugitive is usually a matter of less than an hour. The man is found treed, badly mangleled and with his clothes torn off. The convict who does not work as hard as the guards think he should is given solitary confinement on dry bread and water. When he returns to work should he be too weak as the result of his solitary confinement and non-nourishing diet to work as hard as the guards should have lured with a heavy bong. The usual number of lashes is 30, although as a rule a man faints before 30 is reached. However, men have been given as many as 100 lashes under this cruel Texas system. EUBANKS SAVED HARTZ. Archie Bell, well-known dramatic critic of The Cleveland (Daily) News, had the following in a recent issue of that paper of special interest to our old residents because they will readily recall the Hon. Henry Eubanks fine portrayal of the character of the occasion referred to in the following: "Some years ago, A. F. Hartz, manager of the Cleveland Opera house, found that he needed a little more cash than was coming to the box office. He had a company that could play "Uncle Tom", but there was nobody for the name part and he was afraid to engage a proponent of the companying demand for salary. So he hired the Weddell hotel, proposed to the head-waiter that he join the troupe and play the "star" part. The offer was accepted and the newcomer played the part so successfully that "Tom" ran for five or six weeks—an unheard of thing in those days—and there was one manager the same as the curmudgeon manager for recent losses and to start him again on the road to prosperity along more artistic lines." SAVED THEIR LIVES! Our Two Arkansas Boys Convicted of Murder Are Innocent of the Crime Charged Against Them, Several Months, Ago Little Rock, Ark—The supreme court of Arkansas has reversed the conviction of Robert Bell and Grady Swain, 14 and 18, respectively, convicted of murder and sentenced to death after having been barbarously tortured to compel them to “confess” their guilt. Their case enlisted the sympathy and aid of two white attorneys, W. J. Lanier and G. B. Scott, who were given financial aid by the N. A. A. C. P. Convicted that the boys were innocent of the crime charged and that they had been treated with imprisonment by Arkansas sheriffs and prison guards, the attorneys carried their cases on appeal before the highest tribunal of the state, which has now reversed the convictions. It is thought that there will be no further trial and that probably the boys will go free. Clarence Cameron White Hit Port au Prince, Haiti. Hirt. Port au Prince, Haiti. Clarence Cameron White, noted African-American violinist, appeared here, recent, Sept. 8, before an appreciative audience. Mr. White, who for seven years conducted the Victorian Concert Orchestra of Boston, Mass., a composer as well as an artist, his compositions having been programmed by Fritz Kreisler on many of his professional appearances. Among his most famous compositions are "Serenade," "Cabin Song," "Value Coquette" and "Chant." Wouldn't Let Well-Enough Alone. Wouldn't Let Well-Enough Alone. New York City.—This town was startled, last week Wednesday, to learn that Ethel Waters had appeared in the Federal Court here and applied for an application for voluntary bankruptcy stating that herabilities amounted to $144,999 and her assets, $40, the total amount of money in her possession at that time. Miss Waters declared that most of the debts were incurred by John and Earl Dancer in connection with the production of shows in which she was starred on Broadway and on tour throughout the country.

Thank goodness, a new ihitch in plans to erect a temporary third pre- cinet police station at E. 35th St. and Seovill Ave. appeared in an an- nouncement, Saturday, By Council- man Thomas W. Fleming, chairman of the police and fire committee of council, that he will propose a $250,- 000 councilmanic bond issue for a permanent structure. Fleming said spending $25,000 for the temporary building would be a waste of money, and that the Nickel Plate Develop- ment Co., which purchased the old station at E, 37th St. and Orange ‘Ave., will have to wait. He also de- clared against proposals to build the third precinct station further east, saying the Scovill Ave. site Is ideal This time, Tom is headed right and “The Old Reliable” Gazette wants to give him full credit for the same. City Manager Hopkins, county and school officials are asking a total of twenty million dollars in bonds, at the November election, most of them for things not near as necessary as a new third precinct police station Go to it, Tom, and insist that the $250,000 bond issue be given NOW while all other bond issues are be- ing asked for and our voters can and ‘will “put it over” while they are helping to kill most of that twenty million of bonds already asked for. INCONSISTENT! Patronizing our own enterprises is stressed in many of our news- papers, It is a fine thing to encour- age race loyalty and it is beneficial to all our businesses, perhaps more particularly to the advertisers in our publications. Seemingly where this policy 1s good for the readers it is not desirable for some of our pub- lications. Two of our weeklies clr- culating in Cleveland (one a local publication) prefer giving the dis- tribution of their papers to white men. Bids for this distribution were tendered by a Cleveland Afro-Amer- jean, it Is said, and either ignored, or refused without a courteous ex- planation, ‘The lack of faith in the ability of the local member of the race, indicated by the Pittsburgh and Cleveland race paper, does not speak well for their race loyalty or give their readers much assurance when patronizing their advertisers. Then, too, our local business men, that is the great majority of them, appar- ently have yet to learn the value of advertising. FORCING THEM TOGETHER. Heywood Broun, a special writer in the Cleveland Daily Press of Sept 25, °28, called attention to the fact that race prejudice was barring Jew- ish internes from Kings County hos- pital, New York City, just as City Manager Will Hopkins of this city permits Dr. Dudley Blossom, another and a subordinate local city official, to bar our internes from the City hospital and our girls from its school for student nurses, There is no city in America that has as’ many wealthy and powerful Jews as New York City, and yet Broun also says that most of the colleges there also bar Jewish students with their “psycho- logical test." It looks more and more, every day, as if the Ku Klux Klan and its American fool-preju- dices, religious, racial and color, will eventually drive our people, the Jews and the Catholics to effect some kind of a joint organization to lead in the battle against these prejudices. ae THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1928 See ae ee Oe New Telephone Cable Carries Circuits for Radio Hook-ups we Me J SS Pe ee.

Loading coils, which are placed on most long-distance cable Circuits at intervals of 6,000 fect, ‘will be 9,000 feet apart on the broadcasting circuits. These will be specially adjusted to keep the transmission quality as nearly per- fect as possible. While loading coils are placed on lines to prevent outside noise from getting into the circuit, repeater Stations must be. established at greater. intervals to amplify the Weakening current, On open-wire Tines, the current is boosted about every 100 miles, but for cables, the Stations must be about 50 miles apart. When a eable replaces an open-wire long-distance line, there- fore, itis usuall necessary to erect one or more new repeater Stations. On the new Cuyahoxa- Falls-Cambridge route, the station and its equipment will cost about $150,000. ‘The cable, which pro- vides additional long-distance chan- nels from the northern part of the State connecting with a new cable crossing the southern part of Ohio, twill cost. $1,020,000. It is. more than 85 miles long. ‘The eable through Cambridge, recently eotpleted, enters Obio at [Bridgeport and continues through Columbus and Dayton. It affords fa through route, with its connee- tions east and west, for telephone conversations between New York SHEDS Loulas While new telephone lines are being extended throughout Ohio to take care of the big increase in long-distance conversations, tele- phone engineers in laboratories and factories have been designing im- provements in the cables that will connect the important cities of the future. ‘One of the newest cables, now under construction from Cuyahoga Falls through Akron, Massillon and Newcomerstown to Cambridge, represents the latest word in com- munication. It contains some 500 wires for carrying telephone and telegraph messages, and in addi- tion has 12 wires especially de- signed to transmit radio broadcast programs from one station to an- other. Hitherto, practically all of the radio hook-ups have been made with open-wire long-distance lines, because transmission would have been impaired if wires in the elosely-packed cables had been used. Since open-wire lines are more subject to damage by storms than cables, radio announcers sometimes have been forced to tell listeners that storm trouble had interfered with chain programs. Wires for broadcasting will not be grouped in the cable as are other wires to provide extra cir- cuits, and they also will require special equipment for keeping out Lineman Uses Strategy When “7, bl h e a?

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 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. Last Sunday morning at Lane Memorial C. M. E. church was devoted to the reading of a lengthy paper on politics by Bishop C. H. Phillips in which the relation of the Republican and Democratic parties toward the Afro-American was discussed. The bishop argued in behalf of Hoover and Curtiss. Short speeches followed in the same trend by the pastor. Ex-Senator John P. Green and Attys. Alex Bernstein and Alex. H. Martin, all of which were well received. The applause which greeted the conclusion of Senator Green's speech had to be stayed by the pastor and the eyes of a number were filled with tears. George Slaughter, age 35, of 1257 E. 38th St., an employee at county morgue for more than five years, Sunday night admitted theft of a $400 diamond and platinum ring which was missing that day when relatives of O.

"I borrowed money to send my wife to Georgia on a visit and had no money to send her for return fare," the attendant told James Doran, county detective, Coroner A. J. Pearse said the thief would automatically lose his position but prosecutors said he left County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton, who indicated, Sunday night, that he would seek an indictment charging grand larceny. The original ring was recovered, Tuesday, after Slaughter took police to his home.

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 governmental clerks, the census bureau and people generally, in therocus they delivered in the U. S. Senate, April 10 and May 28,respectively. The Washington (D. C.) Times-Herald (daily) of April 1, 28,"said: "E. W. Curry of Springfield, Ohio, came to Washington to see 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 co-worker Herber Hoover Curry, who opened his own people and aided with the Klu 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 may not have been entitled to his pay. We 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.

SPEEDOMETERS OR SPEED INFORMERS One of Most Interesting and Important Chapters in Auto Development. The story of the development of the speedometer provides one of the most interesting and important chapters in the history of speed registering devices according to an engineering bulletin, which goes on to say: "Speedometers, or speed indicators as they were called in the days before the automobile, were largely used on locomotives, street cars and bicycles. At that time none of them was considered very reliable and their development was slow. Came Out in 1906. "As an illustration of the prevailing situation, along about 1906 when automobiles began making their appearance in increasing numbers, a new speedometer came out. It was much larger than the present day speedometer and operated like a biograph—recording with an inked needle on a roll of paper the speed, time and even stops of a car. This was hailed as a promising improvement and caused quite a bit of interest in engineering circles. From that time on, the evolution of the instrument went through many stages, until today we have speedometers as near perfect as it is possible to make them. "The speedometer has two independent units, each driven from the same shaft—a 'speed' unit to tell how fast you are going and an 'odometer' unit to tell how far you have gone. The speed unit is driven directly by a flexible cable connected to the engine transmission. This cable drives a steel spider or rotor that spins around inside of an aluminum cup which is mounted on a jeweled bearing and is marked to read in miles per hour. This entire assembly is placed between the poles of a permanent horse-shoe magnet. As the car moves along the road, the rotor is driven by the flexible shaft, and a 'magnet drag' between the rotor and the horse-shoe magnet causes the aluminum cup to turn against a hair spring, the amount of turn being directly proportional to the car speed. "The hair spring returns the cup to 'zero' when the car stops, and by offering a uniform resistance against turning, keeps the readings steady at all speeds. "In order that the speedometer will accurately function at all speeds, it is checked at several intermediate speeds and the magnet adjusted to give the correct readings. This makes the instrument accurate over its entire range. How It Operates. "The odometer unit that tells you how far you have gone is driven by a worm gear from a flexible cable and records both season and trip mileage. Every time the cable turns 1,008 times an additional mile is recorded on the first odometer wheel. Every ten miles on the first wheel, the second wheel is moved one reading, and so on, the maximum reading being 99,999 miles. The 'trip' of the odometer operates the same as the 'season' part but it can also be reset to zero or any mileage desired. It reads up to 99.9 miles and is used to measure the distance traveled on any trip. "All-speedometer heads are geared alike-variations of size tires and rear axle ratios, etc., are taken care of by different combinations of speed drive gears in the transmission. Under-inflation of tires, excessive load, and rough roads are conditions that will cause slight inaccuracies of speedometer indications." AUTOMOBILE NOTES Timing gears are a frequent cause of aggravating noises in motors. With an ordinance against loud speakers, will a traffic squad on radio right of way be needed as well as on motor right of way? New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, California and Texas are the seven states having more than 1,000,000 automobiles. If, as claimed, science has lengthened the span of human life by ten years, it ought to be an encouragement to the pedestrian. And he can always use encouragement. Honolulu Schools Have Effective Safety Plan That education as a preventive of accidents is being accepted everywhere, is shown by a bulletin recently received by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club, which says that safety education in the schools of Honolulu has been so effective that not a single child has been fatally injured near a public school during the past six years. The bulletin points out that: "The bureau of education, Department of the Interior, explains that about 350 junior police officers guard street intersections in the vicinity of the school buildings, and that in addition, practical safety lessons are given daily in the primary grades. A local newspaper publishes a safety lesson each week which may be used in school instruction. The board of education co-operates with other departments, and some thousand pupils listened to accident prevention talks in public school assemblies which were attended by the sheriff and other public officials." Breaks Touring Record Across the Continent Harold M. Fenwick of Philadelphia standing beside the automobile in which he broke the touring record Underwood & Underwood from Los Angeles to New York City. He made the trip all alone in 76 hours—not only setting a new speed record, but one also of courage and determination. Traffic Noise Is Much Less Than 60 Years Ago Who deplore present noise of street traffic and who view that noise as a contributory factor to this generation's restlessness will be comforted to know that today's traffic is a "heavenly silence" compared to conditions 60 or 70 years ago. It is a "heavenly silence," at least, to one Richard Pain, who becomes reminiscent in a recent issue of the Autocar Messenger. Writes Mr. Pain: "I can remember, 60 or 70 years ago, when most of our streets were stone paved, and on those where macadam was used they were seldom kept in good condition, the consequence being that the rumble and the rattle of traffic far exceeded the noise of today. The noise of present traffic compared to that of the time I refer to is, in my opinion, a 'heavenly silence' much to be appreciated by those who, like myself, are old enough to remember the shocking condition of our streets and public vehicles 70 years ago." Car's Ignition System Should Be Checked Up Poor pick-up, slow getaway and lack of power in automobiles in most cases are simply due to poor ignition service and are no fault of the car. This is the opinion of automotive engineers, who recommend that the car's ignition system be checked regularly that necessary minor adjustments be made to insure carefree and economical operation. A check of the ignition system by a competent mechanic is necessary at least every 10,000 miles, the engineers say, to make sure the battery, cables, breakers and spark plugs are working satisfactorily. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1928 The average time necessary for handling long-distance telephone calls was reduced 25 per cent in 1927—from two minutes to one and one-half minutes. About 90 per cent of all calls are now handled without the subscriber leaving the telephone, as compared with 80 per cent during 1926. An improvement in local service has been achieved by a reduction of five per cent in the number of calls that failed of completion on the first attempt. The average time taken for installing telephone service was further reduced during 1927 by about half a day. While the United States has the best telephone service in the world, in efficiency of service and facilities, the industry has never been content to rest on its laurels, but has a record of unwavering progress. Each year marks a new high point of telephone communication—Cadiz (Ohio) Sentinel. TELEPHONE CONSTRUCTION During the past five years construction expenditures for the telephone industry have totaled $1,800,000,000. In his period service throughout the nation has been greatly improved and extended, transatlantic telephony has come into being, contact has been established between our country and other countries on this continent, and television has been made a reality. Now it is announced that the construction and expansion program for the coming five years will involve a still greater sum, estimated at two billion dollars or more. More districts will be opened up, and brought closer to world civilization; it will be still easier for us to project our voices thousands of miles away. Such a record is a great tribute to the executive ability, economy and efficiency of the telephone industry. Its motto—to give the best possible service at the least possible cost—has been maintained unflaggingly—St. Mary's (Ohio) Leader. Transatlantic telephone service has been extended to Malmo, Sweden. So many calls are now being made between the United States and Europe that additional wavelengths have been obtained for carrying calls across the Atlantic by radio. FUTURE IS PICTURED BY 'PHONE EXPERTS FUTURE IS PICTURED BY 'PHONE EXPERTS Accuracy of Their Predictions Is Tested This Year In Two Ohio Citics The future growth of a community is an important consideration in the operation of a telephone system, for telephone extensions must be designed to take care of new service requirements for many months or years in advance. Therefore, telephone companies make careful studies to determine population trends and increases that can be expected five, ten and 20 years in the future. On the strength of this and similar information, they base their expectations for telephone installations and the requirements for new lines and equipment. It is interesting to work on. Occasionally it estimates work out. Occasionally a city may have abnormal growth and it may exceed the telephone estimates, or the opposite may happen. In two important cities past estimates of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company have been brought into review this year, however, and it was found that the predictions for growth had been realized very closely. In 1921 the survey engineers estimated that Cleveland and its near-by suburbs would have 1,252,000 persons by 1930. So far the increase has been in proportion to that estimate, the present population being about 1,200,000. In Akron, local developments have made civic interests very optimistic, and in a recent editorial citing industrial expansion the Beacon-Journal of that city says, "Every element of current local growth has been in line with the survey recently made by the Bell Telephone Company." That Ohio as a whole is easily keeping up with expectations for business growth during 1928 is shown by the fact that 21,537 telephones were added to the company's system during the first six months of the year. The estimated gain for all of 1928, made late in 1927, was 38,000 telephones. On July 1, the company had 623,410 telephones. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race presetting none at all." "I write delibertely—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. OF COURSE, if, as fashion bids, the formal frock is extremely decollete, the lingerie to go with it must be especially designed. Stylists, having anticipated this need, are creating garments which are tuned to a nicety to the low lines of the formal costumes with which they are to be worn. The model in the picture is one which has $\textcircled{4}$ been carefully styled for evening wear. TRIM YOUR NEW FALL HAT WITH A TAILORED RIBBON COCARDE 10 been carefully sewn. Another interesting note in regard to new-style lingerie pertains to the lace which adorns it. One thing very evident is that lace is most lavishly used and in unusual ways, but the outstanding feature is that these laces are toned in deep cepu and ochre. The effect of these yellowed or natural toned laces on white or on garments in pale, pastel tints is enchanting. If you are making your own lingerie buy white wash satin, trim it with deep lace and trim it abundantly. Then stand back and admire that which you have accomplished in the way of lingerie of latest mode. An item among pretty undergarments, which are important in the lingerie wardrobe, is the costume slip. These are designed much more elaborately than in past seasons. Some of them introduce unique features which add to their wearableness. The newest thing is the lace-trimmed step-in slip. In this, the panties are introduced under the wide lace-trimmed hem of the costume slip. Being thus a one-piece garment, a TRIM YOUR NEW FA A TAILORE FOR anyone who can handle ribbons defy it will be no trick at all to copy any of the smart ribbon cocades illustrated here. These tailored motifs are just the thing for the modish felt, soell or velvet shape which perhaps you saw and coveted but wondered "how to trim." It requires so little to trim a hat these days, for "style" and becomingness depends upon "lines" of the shape itself more than anything else. Only the simplest, most meager trimming touch is required. At least, this applies to the "first hats" introduced at the season's beginning. For the making of these motifs, as pictured, silk grosgrain ribbon gives best satisfaction or handsome moire. It should be carefully selected as to color. An accurate color match to the hat itself is a sure way of expressing ultra chit. If one prefers, a related tone may be selected, such as a dark green ribbon on a light green hat. One of the new and exceedingly fashionable browns will prove effective for ribbon motifs on a beige or copper-colored shape. The sketches suggest modish placements. It is an unwritten law, but one taken very seriously this season by the best modistes, that trimming of a hat must in nowise destroy its contour. These flat ribbon effects tune in perfectly with this thought. A growing interest in ribbons is evidenced among milliners, who are using them on both tailored effects and in clusters of soft loops, the wider satin types being employed for the latter. Quite a few of the new poke cloches carry clusters of soft ribbon loops at py of The maintenance wh slender silhouette is maintained. One can also buy costume skirts designed with a wrap-around skirt, which adjust itself comfortably to a walking, sitting or standing posture. To return, however, to the subject of lace, modern lingerie is alluringly lace-laden. It is worked into the very structure of the garment in ways most intriguing and elaborate. Lace yokes are conspicuously inset not only in gowns and in chemise but in costume slips as well. Yokes are featured not only at the neckline but also at the hipline, while hemlines are greatly diversified with the employment of unique lace fantasies which express themselves in fanciful points, scallops and such. Gowns are especially given unusual styling. Surplice front effects are quite different from the regulation modes. Others have fine plaits from yoke to hemline, that is, if the material be very sheer. Pockets, too, on the newer gowns—dainty affairs of ribbon, lace and silk flowers. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, New Western Paper Union.) ALL HAT WITH RED RIBBON COCARDE one side, laid close to the brim, sometimes drawing the ribbon through so that choux form interesting underbrim trims next to the face. Velvet ribbons are extensively employed on afternoon gowns of crepe, satin and wool georgette. Bows of solid-colored velvet ribbon also enhance the new frocks of gay print velvet. Very wide ombre messalines and failles in pastel colorings are the chosen kind for the huge bows and saashes and girdles which adorn so many of the picturesque evening gowns. The most striking use of the very wide ribbons, especially those of soft taffeta, is that of the "bustle" bows posed at the backs of very formal evening gowns. So popular is the theme of ribbon entire dresses are being made of it Of course, these frocks are more for party wear. Very clever effects are attained. For instance, a moire ribbon in several tones of the same color begins deepest shade at the hemline and so on until it becomes very pale toward the top. At intervals a band of narrow metal trimmed ribbon was introduced in the seaming. Rosette and streamers of the fancy metal ribbon contributed to the charm of the dress. The vogue for ribbon felts is very pronounced this season. Handsome ones are made of three-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon. These are eyedel with a wree circle of rhinestones, and the fancy buckle is also rhinestone jet. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1928, 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 shall be deemed a "murder" for the purpose of this chapter.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern 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. need. al representative of victim of lynching,ury by mob trying to lynch another. d costs in tax levy. a. inst member of mob. inst another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therem. (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 Ohio: Sec. 114 (Women) beheld 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities, be defined 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 by the 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 effort for the passage of the Beaty Hill a law against the kron 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 am writing to you to 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. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for the judge to intervene. 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. Reading It
