I have not arrived at the age of "second sight" yet; yet, I appreciate the gift of copies of The Old Reliable", and also remembering you are somewhere near to your birthday, I am taking "the bull by the horns", and "time by the forelock", in these few lines of congratulations to wish you health, success and peace, with many pleasant returns of your natal date.

Quartermaster Liceorice the Hero of Vestris Rescue—Argentine Swimming Star Praises His Courage. New York City.—A little Barbadian, Lionel Liceorice, a quartermaster on the Vestris, was the outstanding hero of the great ship-disaster. Alfred Ramos, Argentine swimming star, who was rescued after swimming and floating fourteen hours, said the quartermaster saved twenty lives. That little Negro did what the officers of the Vestris failed to do," said Ramos, who was rescued by the American Shipper. "He took charge of boat No. 14 and not only saved the passengers but occasionally jumped out to catch an oar or helpless passengers floating in the water. By the time the American Shipper picked up the boat, he had saved twenty lives. Over 100 were lost. I cannot say that the officers of the Vestris could be praised for their endeavors to save us. The quartermaster was the only member of the crew who exerted himself in our behalf." Quartermaster Liceorice sat unnoticed, swinging his legs, on the rail of the American Shipper, until he was introduced to newspapermen by Ramos as a hero. He was richer about his own exploits but said the Vestris began "taking water" a few hours after she left New York. "One of the starboard holes was not made fast and water came through it," he said.

Frederic Charles Seelig. WILLIAM PICKENS AT THE CITY CLUB! Delivered a Masterful Address to an Audience That Comfortably Filled the Large Ball-room in the Hollenden Hotel — Judge Addams' Surprise. Wm. Pickens, field agent of the N. A. A. C. P., N. Y. City, last week Saturday, noon deposited one of the flagship offices on the economic relations of the races at the Club's forum luncheon meeting we have ever listened to. At the speakers' table, which was on a raised platform, in addition to the club's president, W. H. Stinchcomb, who was the presiding official, were seated Judges Geo. H. Addams and Bradley Hull, the editor of The Gazette, Mr. Adams of the Cleveland Hardware Co. Hon. Harry E. Davis, Atty. George W. Precedent, the cal branch of the N. A. A. C. P., under whose auspices Mr. Pickens was to address the mass meeting at Antioch Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, as well as the City Club; and several others of both races, all guests of the club. Mr. Pickens' was a thoroughed discussion of the subject, most interesting and illuminating indeed; frequently and loudly applauded by the large audience made up almost entirely of local business professionals memorial leaders of thought and industry in the community. Among the few of our people seen in the audience were Drs. Scott and O. A. Taylor, Representative-elect Perry B. Jackson, Captain Chas. W. Wrye, Chas. W. Chesnutt, Esq., Atty. Alex. H. Martin and Wm. Conners. For fully a half hour at the close of his address, Mr. Pickens answered questions propounded by persons in the audience. This was almost as interesting as his splendid address. After that an audience in which Messrs. Pickens, Chesnutt, Judge Addams, the editor of The Gazette and others actively participated. It was during this discussion that Judge Addams, much to our surprise, showed that he favored the segregation of our people in this community. He apparently favored the city hospital color-line and argued in favor of a "jim-crow Y". The editor of The Gazette took issue with the judge, of course, reminding him that he was aligning himself with the Ku Klux Klan, in which he was doing more nor less than "turning back" the hands of the clock of progress. The Pickens address ought to prove very helpful to our people of this community. His address at Antloch Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, was also very satisfactory. OSCAR DE PRIEST Elected to Congress—His Seat to Be Contested on Charges Already Framed—Our First Northern Congressman. Chicago, Ill. —The election of Mrs. Ruth Hanna, McCormick (white), who as a girl lived in Cleveland, O., a daughter of U. S. Senator Mark Hanna (deceased), as congressman-at-large, and the election of Oscar DePriest to congress from the first cong. district, which represents the heart of Chicago's financial and business section, were the two most recent elections in this state. DePriest is our first northern congressman and the first we've had from any part of the country for nearly a quarter of a century. Already preparation is being made to contest his seat on trumped-up charges which include "framed" indictments, dating to 1914, and a war for alleged conspiracy to violate election laws by shaking down gambling and vice resorts for political contributions. DePriest is an ally of Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson. He was our first county commissioner as well as alderman, and is a self-made man, aggressive with fair ability. With 1914 Kutau Krenat隐蔽 in its headquarters at the nation's capital and high in the councils of the Republican party control, the future looks anything but rosy for Congressman-elect DePriest. Especially impressive is this when one considers what the national Republican control in the recent campaign did to former Republican incumbent of Georgia, and Perry Howard, Republican national committeeman from Mississippi.

The Wholesale Attempt to Segregate Our People of Cleveland From Public and Quasi-Public Institutions of This City Now Out in the Open. At the City club Pickens meeting, last Saturday noon, Judge George H. Addams, in a triangular discussion in which he, Mr. Pickens and the editor of The Gazette participated, particularly the first and the last named, the judge so clearly indicated his endorsement of the Hopkin's color-line against our internes and nurses at City Hospital and argued so insistently in favor of a "jim-crow Y" that the editor reminded him of the fact that in so doing he was advocating a tenet of the Ku Klux Klan at least so far as our people were concerned. Strange as it may seem to many of our people, who have heretofore thought otherwise, Judge Addams has become a strong advocate of "the segregation of colored people." In spite of the fact that the Cedar Branch "Y", open to all races or classes, is functioning properly and successfully and has been ever since it was established, some years ago, Robert Lewis, ex. sec. of the Central "Y", and Judge Addams, aided and abetted by several "jim-crow Negroes", held a private meeting, Tuesday evening, at Cedar "Y" for the purpose of promoting a "jim-crow Y" for Cleveland. There is a story afloat, to the effect, that one of the "jim-crow Negroes" at Tuesday evening's meeting at Cedar "Y" is a young man who came here, some months ago, from Washington, D. C., and who has been subsized while here "studying" by a Central "Y" official to quietly promote the establishment of a "jim-crow Y". Naturally, these people are, too, advocates of a segregated or "jim-crow" hospital. So any of our people can readily see what they are trying to do—separate our people from the whites in all public and quasi-public institutions in this community that they can. This is Ku Klux Klan "fooder". That this means turning back "the hands of the clock of progress" for Afro-Americans, from 25 to 50 years, means nothing to segregation-advocates like Addams and Lewis, or to the "jim-crow Negroes" associated with them. The latter are only concerned about present or future personal benefit of some kind and do not care how much harm they do their own people. Lord, have mercy! The editor of The Gazette told Judge Addams plainly, last Saturday noon, in the City club that our people of this community would never support a "jim-crow Y". More than that, they will never permit one to be established in Cleveland, either. This applies equally as strong to a "jim-crow" hospital, schools, etc. The editor also told him that whenever a half dozen or more leading Afro-Americans of this community will join him (the editor) in donating a couple of hundred dollars a piece to a fund for legal service, that we would take that hospital question into the courts and settle it quickly and settle it right, something we should have done months ago. More: Our people of this community will not forget City Manager Hopkins and Judge Addams voluntary segregation activity, whenever either of them are looking to the suffrage of all the people of this community for more political honors. As we were leaving the City club, Saturday noon, Atty. Charles W. Chessutt, as well as others who had heard all the editor of The Gazette had to say to Judge Addams, stepped up to him (the editor) and said: "You are right!" We know this will be the verdict of the great majority of the thoughtful and loyal members of the race in this community. It is positively silly as well as malicious THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation in Ohio, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in this or any other country. It immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country.

D., L.L.D. suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Church among our people in Arkansas and the southwest province, and his wife, Mrs. Betty Ricks Demby, A.R. Demby, died last week. We were quietly but beautifully entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Clark, 6207 Utica Ave., Mr. and Mrs. Thomas MacGryar, 2333 E. 40th St., and others of their many friends at the local hotel where the Bishop and Mrs. Demby stayed while in the city. Mrs. Demby was born and educated in this city and served for several families. Bishop Demby is by birth and education an easterner and has the honor of being the only Afro-American bishop in the Episcopal Church of this country. In speaking of the general convention of the Church held in Washington, D. C., recently, he said it was the best in all respects in the history of the Church and that the one thought, kept before the memorial plaques, was that the human brotherhood of the races, as well as the incarnation, the unity of Christians and the complete separation of Cleveland. They left, last week Friday night, for Chicago, Kansas City and other places west, on route to Rock City. The Gazette sanctum a very pleasant visit, last week Thursday noon. Demby has been a subscriber of the Gazette almost ever since its inception. MYERS Y. COOPER GUILTY. Cincinnati, O—Those of our people throne out the state of Ohio, who read The Gazette during the campaign just closed, got the truth and nothing but the truth relative to the color-line activity, in his real estate business here, of Myers Y. Cooper, an attorney who never denied the charge. He could not do so. Even the Jews, who know full well that they were refused certain of his property, which they tried to purchase, in Walnut Hills (this city), can testify to that. Our people here certainly appreciate the noble stand of The Gazette and thank its editor or owner, who coerced it rused to T endorse, editorially, Cooper's candidacy even if Cooper's Ku Klux Klan helper, E. W. Curry of Springfield, manager of his campaign organization, did try every way he could to get such endorsement. Negroes who did not heed The Gazette's clarion call, and voted for Cooper, can remember that they were Ohio who drew a color-line on their own people here in this city. May God forgive them! ministers and all. ```markdown ``` LITTLE BROTHER ISN'T FEELING VERY WELL TO DAY. YOU DON'T MIND IF HE AMUSES HIMSELF WITH YOUR DOG, DO YOU?

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928. The next Illinois State Assembly will have five Afro-American members, one being a senator. Missouri has two. Ohio is lucky to have one, it seems. The "illy-whitees" of the South made political "goats" of Ben Davis of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi. The former lost his membership in the Republican National Committee as a result and Perry's is "hanging by a thread." --- There really are many of our good friends who do not know that the mongrel term, "darkkey", is as insulting to the intelligent of our race, and others, as the other miserable terms oft-times used by prejudiced persons to designate members of the race. In these days of Ku Klux Klan Republicanism, it is a harrowing experience that awaits Congressman-elect Oscar DePriest of Chicago before and after he is seated in the U. S. House of Representatives—if he is ever seated. He will need the help of our people in every section of the country. Rev. D. O. Walker claims to have voted in North Carolina, but has failed to even register in Ohio, it is said. The Gazette would like to have him explain why he does not exercise his right of franchise as a citizen here, if he is a citizen. When our intelligent citizens fall to vote in the North, our future as a race, in this country, is not at all encouraging to say the least. --- It looks very much as if the "Kluxers" and "lily-whites" will be "at court" during the Hoover administration which does not make the outlook for jobs very good for Afro-American Republicans. Then, too, so many of the "faithful leaders" were under pay in the several "jim-crow" headquarters that it is hardy to be expected that they will be paid twice by giving them positions or jobs in addition to the cash they were paid during the campaign just closed. A writer in one of our newspapers says: "There have been two colored members of the U. S. senate; Hiram B. Revels of Mississippi, who served in 1870-71, and B. K. Bruce of the same state, who served from 1875 to 1881." The writer is wrong—we have had three, the third being Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana who, the refused his seat for the entire term by a Republican Senate, was finally paid his salary for the same. DU BOIS "SIDE-STEPPING" AGAIN We agree heartily with the editor of the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American when he said, in reply to Dr. Wm. Du Bois" "protest against the injection of race prejudice" in the recent campaign by both parties: "The Afro-American believes in equality, all kinds, every kind. It does not accept inequality, in good temper. To the contrary, we resent it." DuBois was "side-stepping" the equality, social intermingling and intermarriage questions in his so-called protest. Temporizing is not new to DuBois who began it, as far as our people were and are concerned, during the southern Democratic Thomas Woodrow Wilson administration and at a conference of our leading men called by the President thru his special assistant secretary of war, Dr. Emmet J. Scott of Howard University, Washington, D. C. The editor of The Crisis is sure a "shifty" individual who will bear watching when it comes to matters of vital race interest Prime Sport News Prime Sport News Defeats Morehouse.

Risko Gives Tut the Usual. Fremont, Ohio — Johnny Risko (white) of Cleveland, last week Thursday night, gave Tut Jackson a ten-round flailing at the Fremont theater. Risko played a tattoo on Tut's body throughout the fight but Jackson took it all, bored in for more and was fighting strongly at the final bell. Jackson was on the canvas only once during the bout, going down in the sixth after Risko had landed a blow near the waistline, and claimed a outburst that occasion. Referee Baldwin overruled his prosecution. Jackson arose at nine to continue the fight. Risko took eight of the ten rounds although looking rather slow. Attendance, about 1,800. Praise for Our Fighters. **TOP 10** Ray Cahill, daily sport writer for the Cleveland Daily News, said recently: "Jack Thompson is certainly the second best welter-weight in the world, if not the very best. And George Godfrey still stands out as the best heavy-weight in the ring. The reigning sensation in New York is Kid Cholocate who, by the way, is sailing for Cuba. He is a three-leaved land for two or three months. Al Brown, who stands shoulder to shoulder with Chocolate for the position of leading bantam-weight, sailed for France, recently, to fight for the European and then the English bantam titles. He is recognized as the world's best bantamweight, the National Boxing association, and comes from Colon, Panama. He is well educated and speaks seven languages. Godfrey Stops Gorman in 3d Godfrey Stops Gorman in 30 Philadelphia, Pa. — George Godfery, leading heavyweight of the Gorman's Pa. team, Gorman the Gorman in white, in the third round of their ten-round fight, Monday night. Godfrey, weighing 240 pounds, was too fast and too strong for Gorman, who scaled 204, and when a right to the head dropped the Chicagoan in the third Gorman's seconds tossed a towel into the ring. Gorman was knocked down three times in the first round with crushing rights to the head, but regained his feet each time at the count of three, then the close of the round Godfrey caught the Chicagoan with a right uppercut to the face that sent him through the ropes. He clambered back into the ring at the count of eight. Three Bouts for Chocolate: Three Bouts for Chocolate. New York City, Nov. 13. - Kid Chocolate, the Afro-Cuban sensation, has signed to appear in three fights in Miami's Garden Square Garden, in Miami's Garden premiere of the Scalafar in a ten-round bout on Nov. 30. If he comes out of this with his enviable record still intact he fights either Kid Francis or Archie Bell, two of the leading menaces in the bantamweight division, some time in January. The Kid will probably go back to Cuba after these two fights and return about a month later to fight the best man obtainable, who probably will be Busy Graham, who has been going around the country capitalizing a title he doesn't own. By way of tuning up for his appearance, he will take on Jackie Schweitzer, an East Side favorite, in a ten-round bout, Monday night, at St. Nicholas Rink. Pete Sanstol was to have been the party of the second part on this occasion but canceled the engagement. "NOT THE LARGEST, BUT THE BEST!" BUT THE BEST. Little Rock, Ark. June 16, '25. Hon. Harry C.

Elmer Harrison, a repairman on the long-distance lines of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company at Sandusky, met with such an experience during the summer. When Elmer was dispatched to clear trouble on a line near Sandusky, his tests showed the failure to be in a terminal box on a pole, where wires in cable are joined to open-wire lines.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the life, to expose it, and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when you, I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. I long life to you and The Gazette. You're for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

Elmer left the pole precipitously, and didn't halt until he was sure he had outdistanced all pursuit. Realizing that the circuits had to be put back in service some way, but that the job of evicting the bees was out of his line, so to speak, he hunted up a bee keeper. The latter soon persuaded the bees to accompany him, while Elmer in cleaning out the box acquired a stock of honey.

Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Randolph 5870 Sundays by Appointment OHIO DEPENDS UPON 'PHONE FOR TALKING Large Cities Have More Instruments Than Foreign Nations, and Rural Communities Beat European Cities There are about as many telephones in Ohio as there are in the nations of France, Italy and Spain combined, it is shown in the annual report on telephone and telegraph statistics of the world recently released. The Buckeye State has more than 1,100,000 instruments in service. There are ten Ohio cities which have more telephones than one or more European nations. Cleveland, for instance, has about as many as all of Russia and more than either Spain, Austria, Belgium or Holland. Zanville has more than Greece. The latter country, in fact, with 6,300 telephones, has very few more than Middletown, Massillon or Alliance. Almost as many new telephones are installed in Ohio each year as the total number put in service in Mexico in the half century since the telephone was invented. A notable feature of the American telephone development, the report discloses, is the large number of telephones in the smaller towns and rural districts. In communities of less than 50,000 population in the United States there are 12 telephones per 100 persons, which means that the people of small American communities are better provided with telephones than are residents of most large cities of Europe.

MUCH OF FATIGUE IS UNNECESSARY Many Little Driving 'Tricks' Which Will Conserve Driver's Energy. "Much of the fatigue experienced by the average motorist is owing to an unnecessary expenditure of energy in the act of handling his automobile in traffic," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. Approaching Curves. "There is plenty of available evidence to substantiate this point. Take the case of curves, especially on a strange highway. It is a driving error to approach a curve at high rate of speed, and to overcome this the driver is forced to apply his brakes suddenly, and at the same time put forth a great deal of strength to steer the car around the curve safely. There may be many curves in the course of a day's drive and if the driver continues to approach them at a high rate of speed, he will have used up a great deal of energy by the end of the day. "Then there is the driver who thinks there is no necessity of shifting to second gear when descending a hill, in spite of warning signs. This means that he will have to hold his car back with the brakes—another useless expenditure of strength. Another Driving Blunder. "Approaching at high speed any point where it is known in advance that a stop must be made is another driving blunder that leaves the driver exhausted at the end of the day, as this practice requires sudden and vigorous application of brakes, and, as a result, muscular fatigue. "There are many little driving 'tricks', which, if the motorist will learn and practice, will not only conserve the driver's energy, but will also lengthen the life of the car." Road Hogs Develop in There is one time in the career of nearly every motorist when he sub-consciously is inclined to be a road hog. Unless he is aware of this temptation he is likely to make himself a general nuisance. The time in question is right after the acquisition of a new car. Breaking-in the engine carefully requires driving slowly for the first 1,000 miles. Now, driving slowly is only one element of road-hoggliness, but it is the first one. The second, v-keeping in the middle of the road, is likely to be the product of inattention, or concentration on the operation of the machine in the case of the new car owners. Therefore, he should keep a close check on what part of the highway he uses in putting the first 1,000 miles on his brand-n speedometer. Otherwise, he becomes a road hog. Motorists Pay Big Road Motorists pay a bad road tax equivalent to 22.3 cents on every gallon of gas consumed on a poor highway. The Chicago Motor club reports that this conclusion was drawn from experiments recently conducted in Washington, Iowa and North Carolina. The figures were based on the premise of a car making 10 miles to the gallon on a rough highway. On a basis of a speed of 83 miles per hour, the test showed the cost of gasoline and tires per one thousand miles over rough roads used in the experiments was $35.10 for an average four cylinder car weighing 3,500 pounds loaded. The cost for the same car at the same speed over a very smooth improved road was only $12.80, according to the tests. Bearing adjustments are incomplete if they are made without first having determined the condition of the crankpin, which is susceptible to uneven wear. It frequently happens that what looks like a perfect job of bearing tightening is most disillusioning when the engine is started, largely because the journal is worn "out of round." The condition of this part should be determined before any adjustment is made. If grinding is necessary, it is a fairly simple job with the up-to-date facilities of the average repair shop. Simple Way to Thaw Out Radiator When Frozen If your radiator freezes while you are driving, a simple way to thaw it is to attach a short length of rubber hose to the overflow pipe from which With a length of hose attached to the lower outlet of your overflow pipe, you can convey steam through the fins of a frozen radiator and speedily thaw it out. the steam is flowing and squirt the steam through the fins of the radiator. Start at the top and work downward. Keep the motor idling slowly and when the flow of steam stops you will know that all the ice which has clogged the lower portion of the radiator has melted.—Popular Science Monthly. Color Seen as Factor In Reducing Accidents A prominent safety engineer recently pointed to brilliant body colors as a means of reducing motor accidents. Bright colors, because they can be seen at much greater distances and attract attention much more readily, are an important factor in driving safety. Chromium plating which is found on all bright surfaces supplements the color factor of safety. The armored steel body adopted by Studebaker in 1925 as standard for its entire line has demonstrated the wisdom of Studebaker engineers repeatedly by withstanding crashes as only steel can. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS One thing the driver of a flivver airplane will not have to worry about is a grade crossing. "Don't test your brakes on the other fellow's car" is a slogan being circulated by a safety advocate. An autolist is suing another for $25,000 as a result of a collision of their machines. He is holding out his hand. In view of the pronounced success of windsheilds of that type, there are expectations that something can be done eventually about a nonshattering hope. With most cars, particularly those equipped with a plate clutch, one may shift from first directly into high in starting with a normal load on smooth pavements.

An easy guess to be sure, for it is a name which echoes and re-echoes the length and breadth of stydlom this season. The strange and fascinating part of it is that no two tweeds look alike. There's a different tweed to greet the eye at every turn—that is, if you are hobnobbing with the smart set, which at this time of the year throngs the grandstand at those exciting gridron games, where one feels at the moment that there's nothing worth while, except for one's college colors to win. Since tweeds are so diverse it is up to the individual to choose a tweed according to one's type. Then, too, tweeds are as varied in their styling as they are in their coloring and patterning. Just now the "big idea" is for dark tweeds trimmed with white fur. The fur mostly in use is white caracul. At least it is called "white" but it is really an "off-white" natural NEW MILLINERY AG THE CHIC C TO CATER to fashion's mood the woman who dresses smartly must acquire a complete wardrobe of hats this season, for the mode is going in strong for the ensemble, which demands that the hat match frock or coat.

Without detracting from the glory of ethe, the felt or the velvet hat, for their vogue is unquestioned, hatter's plush and similar long-nap fabrics carry the honors of being the really new note in millinery this season. It is not always that the hat is entirely of solet or hatter's plush, for milliners are also using these new fabrics in combination with other materials. The hats comprising the group shown here have been carefully selected for illustration, because each is either entirely of hatter's plush or else reveals it in conjunction with a contrasting medium. y Your Co or an Acqu SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928. SPORTS COATS IDOL OF THE HOUR shade which is too "swanky" for words expressed in fur collar and cuffs and scarf on a rough nubbed-with-white or deep cream, dark tweed. A tweed sports coat may be "all togged up" with the snappiest details (see the coat to the right in the picture). There's the cleverest collar on this coat, which buttons in connection with its scarf—and buttons are such a smart trimming item just now. Note, too, the belt of self-fabric and the arresting pocket pockets and the fur cuffs, too, if you please. The model to the left makes its "hit" with the fact of its being of a stunningly patterned tweed which is that fetching the styling of the coat has been restrained to simple straight lines, so that the material itself may get most of the glory. However, one also reads style in every detail of the sleeves with saddle shoulders, in the gauntlet cuffs and the inevitable patch pockets. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1925 Western Newspaper Union. CLAIMS OF HATTER'S PLUSH Beginning at the top to the left to describe them. this model assumes a modish cloche silhouette. It is made of highly lusterful hatter's plush, its charm accented by a clever metal embroidery. as is so distinctly defined in the picture. The nobby cap-toque to the right is very simply fashioned of hatter's plush. Not even a tiny ornament is present to mar its simplicity. Just such modes as this are sought in an exact color match to the costume. The handsome plush beret centered to the left is picturesque draped a la Rembrandt. The crown band is of velvet, and there is a rhinestone ornament just over the left ear. To the right is a fetching cloche with one of the head-fitting crowns so in vogue. Metallic ribbon and greenbronze grapes impart a dressy appearance. The final hat is interesting because it crowns a felt britt in pinkish beige with black hatter's plush, using the felt also as a trimming which features a semi-belt and buckle.

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. STORM-HIT AREA HAS NEW 'PHONE SYSTEM Complete Rebuilding of Lines Represents Silver Lining To Clouds That Brought Disaster to Northwestern Ohio Though it has taken seven months of steady work and $1,500,000 to do it, northwestern Ohio now has a network of telephone lines that is virtually brand new, and constructed to stand for many years to come. When the sleet storm of March 30 laid low communication lines in the cities, towns and rural sections, it looked as if telephone service had been dealt a blow from which it would take years to recover. For in many sections whole lines had been carried down; the rural systems were completely wrecked. While construction forces of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company were making temporary repairs so that emergency service could be restored, engineering forces immediately began planning on a permanent rebuilding. Communication between towns was possible within a few days, and in about a month most of the temporary repairs had been completed. Permanent rebuilding included placing many of the old long-distance lines in cables, and in cities much open wire was removed to make way for cable. Some lines were rerouted. All of the rural lines were made completely new, the old wire and poles being junked. The new poles are of the cressted pine type which tests indicate to be the strongest available for the purpose. More than 10,000 new poles were used. The net result is that people whose telephones are served from the Findlay, Fostoria, Upper Sanduky and various other Ohio Bell exchanges now have the benefit of entirely new lines at their disposal. The cost of the rebuilding was provided for from the reserve fund which is a part of the standard financial structure of Bell System companies. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade.

Our mo-violence or anti-lyning bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. 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 with other persons by violence, that shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose that the such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with clubs, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made.

If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate such person so lynched, nor be subjected to any of his liabilities. (33 v. 162.6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. Section 6284.

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 there was conspiracy negligence or official offence in which such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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: **BBS.** ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob. inst another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: 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 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 person convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where each 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 Beacon Journal, 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I would to send you, under a separate cover, a 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 that was going on in its own town, there would be a special occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. R. C. Grant. 'HUMAN NATURE'S' BOOKLET ROOTS FOULEST BLOOT. My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of skim. Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotee him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. Reading It Reading It
