Only Remedy Is to Preach Christ— Church Over-organized—Dr. H. C. Bailey Scores Big in the Ad- Among the speakers at the Cleveland Baptist ministers' meeting (of both races) in the Euclid Ave. Baptist church, Monday morning, was Rev. Horace C. Bailey who, in fol- Dr. Horace C. Bailey. lowing Dr. Sharp (white), ex. sec. of the Cleveland Baptist Association, said among other things: "The churches as a rule haven't any message for the people. The people go to church, Sunday, looking for a message to ease their burdens and to give them hope and courage, but instead listen to a lot of 'gittering generalities' along a religious line, with the result that the people have lost respect for the pulpit. The only remedy for the salvation of the Protestant Church is to preach Christ." Continuing, Dr. Bailey said: "The cross is the measure of a man. We have the scantling of the building layout, we are over-organized, and we takes so much money and organizes the organizations. If we would have people to respond liberally, for their home and foreign mission endeavors, we must warm up their hearts with the gospel of Christ. Heat expands; cold contracts. After the day of Pentecost when the people's hearts were made warm and large by the Holy Ghost, they gave liberally of their means to support the widows and orphans. We must get back to the first things — that's the minister's calling — preaching Christ and Him crucified." Dr. Bailey's talk was most. that the ministers of the various nationalities present. They admitted that that was the key-note of the situation. One immediate result was that a committee was appointed to plan a campaign of evangelism or plan a commencing in 1829. Only a very few of our ministers were present. WANTS VESTRIS HERO HONORED Washington, D. C.—A proposal was advanced, last week, by representative Weller (Dem.), New York City, to award the congressional medal of honor to Lionel Licorice who is credited with saving 20 lives in the sinking of the steamship, Vestris. Weller insists there is no doubt that Licorice saved numerous lives. The attempt of Ernest Smith (white), a refrigerating engineer on the credit of the credit freely and properly given Licorice is so palpably the result of prejudice and jealousy that practically no attention is being paid to it. Smith is in New York City. The Famous Metropolitan Opera Co.'s "Biggest Musical Sensation" to Feature An Afro-American Character in "Jonny Spielt Auf". New York City—An opera calls for a jazz band on the stage and whose hero is an Afro-American in love with a white girl is to be produced here by Metropolitan Opera company in January—thereby putting on what the critics predict is to be the biggest musical sensation on this side of the Atlantic in years. The opera is "Jonny Spielt Auf", by Ernest Krenek, a young Austro-Czechish composer. During 1927 it traveled over central Europe, following its sensational work in the stand old Neues theater in Leipzig, and wherever it went it created a furore. Hero a Jazz Leader The hero is Jonny, a young Afro-American, who has conquered Europe with his jazz band. He has not been long in Europe before he discovers that white people over there are more inter-racial love and courtship than they have in America. He courts a beautiful white opera singer, having as his rival a composer and a celebrated violin virtuoso, both white. In the last act, which takes place in a large continental railroad station, Jonny falls under an express train, the "Boston Train," it develops, are the opera singer and the composer, eloping to America. Suddenly the illuminated station clock becomes transformed into an immense globe, on which Jonny is perched — inviting all the world to join in an outpouring of music, especially, "Jonny Spielt Aut" is said to be as sensational as its plot. Premiere in Leipsic. "Jonny Spielt Auf" had its world premiere in Leipzig on Feb. 11, 1927. Thereafter it was produced in Berlin, where the entire diplomatic mission of the German government, headed by Chancellor Marx and Dr. Streisemann, attended the opening performance—in Dresden and Vienna. The young composer has been a pupil of Franz Schreker and has lived in Vienna, Berlin and Paris. "My musical development goes hand-in-hand with the peregrinations of my physical being," he said in Vienna, just before his opera had its premiere there. "From Vienna I derived a naturally happy nature, in Berlin I learned the meaning of earnest study, but in Paris I discovered that German makes it out to be." It is said there is a movement on foot to employ Roland Hayes to sing It is said there is a movement on foot to employ Roland Hayes to sing the part of "Jonny". ROLAND HAYES. When the celebrated Afro-American tenor soloist, Roland Hayes, comes to Cleveland for his scheduled concert, Dec. 12, he will find nearly 1000 of our people waiting expectantly for him. Hayes, who has sung his way from total obscurity to fame and fortune, but recently returned from a third concert tour of Europe. On this latest trip, he also visited Russia on the invitation of the Soviet government, and was also particularly successful in his concert before King George in London on the occasion of the fourteenth German, French, Spanish and Italian. According to Miss Grace Denton, director of the Cleveland Concert Course, about thirty of our local organizations have planned to be represented at the Hayes concert in the New Music Hall, Public Auditorium, Wednesday evening.

Not Unanimous on "Jim Crow Y's"—Admits Jews Now—Shrutleff's Color-Line—Major Anderson "Trims" Mr. Teachout—Attys. Jackson and Ballard "Smoke Him Out". Mr. Teachout, a member of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A., addressed St. James Forum, Sunday afternoon, on the subject, "Progress Together". This council is composed of delegates from various parts of the country. It bears the problems presented by delegates, and formulates the policy of the Y. M. C. A. His address was very interesting, and illuminated here and there by little stories. He said among other things that there was a division between the members of the national council relative to the elimination of the word "Christian". He thought, however, this would be a great mistake, because the purpose was primarily Christian. That, although some may differ, it was rendering unselfish service to young men. He further advised that he had been in council meetings where there were many colored men on the floor. It was intimated that the council was not unanimous in the belief of a segregated Y. M. C. A. In regard to the local situation, he continued, that must be "worked out with Secretary Lewis". After his discourse, Representative-elect Perry B. Jackson prefaced his question with the statement that he understood that a few years ago the bars were let down in membership to permit people of Jewish and other religions to become full-fledged members of the Y. M. C. A., whereas previous membership had been restricted to persons affiliated with the Evangelical church. His question was whether, since the down of the bars as above indicated any progress had been made toward the full-fledged membership they enjoyed locally until a Mr. Shurtleff became secretary of the local Central "Y". The answer given dealt with the management. He stated that there were colored men now being placed on the boards of management of some Y. M. C. A.'s. Major Wm. T. Anderson then arose, and in substance stated that years ago a number of colored men had been members of the "Y" here, then located at the corner of E. 9th St. and Prospect Ave. Among them were Atty. Alex H. Martin. Charles W. Chesnut, Esq., and Capt. Wm. Hare. Some were asked to resign. Martin was put out, and others were gotten rid of in some manner. Mr. Chesnut and one or two others are still members. The Major further averred that the relationship be- PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S Two Paragraphs, in His Most Recent Message to the Congress, Relative to The Negro For 65 years now our Negro population has been under the pacular care and solicitude of the national government. The progress which they have made in education and the professions, in wealth, and in the arts of civilization, affords one of the most remarkable incidents in this period of world history. They have demonstrated their ability to partake of the advantages of our institutions and to benefit by a free and more and more diplomatic existence doubt there may be been of their capacity to assume the status granted to them by the constitution of this Union is being rapidly dissipated. Their cooperation in the life of the nation is constantly enlarging. Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends is being abandoned and their protection is being increased by those states in which their percentage of population is largest. Every encouragement should be extended for the development of the race. The colored people have been the victims of the crime lynching, which has in turn somewhat decreased some parts of the south and have wholesome for its restraint and punishment. Their example might well be followed by other states, and by such immediate remedial legislation as the federal government can extend under the constitution. Little Dorothy, granddaughter of Mrs. Ed. Chafin of 10016 South Blvd., was given a party on her recent eighth birthday. Mrs. Nina Bell Dorothy's aunt, assisted her mother.

In response to a question from Mr. Teachout as to where Major Wm. T. Anderson. the trouble lies, he replied that it was in Mr. Lewis, head of the Y. M. C. A., and others, and not in the boys themselves. Atty. John E. Ballard asked the question, whether or not it was the policy of the national council to bar colored young men from membership in local organizations, in view of his statement, if the inquisitor quoted him correctly, that the council discussed various problems and formulated the policy of the Y. M. C. A. to which he gave a negative answer. Rev. D. O. Walker, in closing remarks, said in substance that just such Christian men as the speaker could go a long way in helping to solve this situation, and that the matter must be approached in a Christian spirit. He also suggested that a joint debate should be held to thrash out the question of a separate Y. M. C. A. between Judge Geo H. Adams and Captain Chas T. but he said just that that suggested that any other person would do. Atty. Ballard suggested that they have the Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, debate with Judge Adams. A REAL FRIEND! Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

MRS. GREEN AND MR. JELIFFE ENR arch ae ae nee Editor; The Cleveland News:—The statement of a contributor (Mrs. Virginia D. Green) The News pub- lished, Saturday, to the effect that “Colored people were not entertain. ed as guests in local hotels” is not correct, since . personal friends o! color, business men from Springfield and Columbus, were guests of the two leading Cleveland hotels at the time of the publication of the com- munication referred to. Section 12940 of the General Code ot Ohio reads: “Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, thea- ter or other place of public accom: modation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applic able allke to all citizens and regard less of race or,color, the full enjoy- ment of the amusements, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shal be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500, or imprisoned not lest than 30 days nor more than 90 days or both. Section 12941. Whoever violate: the next preceding section shall also pay not less than $50 nor more than $500 to the person aggrieved there- by to be recovered in any court o! competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. ‘The foregoing is knowa as the Ohio. Civil Rights Law, the enact- ment of which the writer secured when a member of the Ohio Legisla- ture in 1894. This law has been repeatedly held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court, Therefore Mr. Russell Jellit- fe (white) has right of action against the “something less than a dozen hotels and places of public entertainment” which the writer of the New’s communication ot Satur- day last, says he “approached” for fhe purpose of securing a place where The Gilpin players and Afri- ean Art sponsors “might hold thelr banquet”, held in the Museum of Natural History auditorium, Monday evening. Harry C. Smith, - Editor, The Gazette. ‘A NEW COLOR-LINE! The latest development in that National University society's color- line foolishness, mentioned in our last issue, occurred Sunday night and Monday. The society is con- ducting a course in coaching men and women “to win in business and in life”, at the New Muste Hall in Public Auditorium. Last week, thru the efforts of Councilman Clayborne George, the society's management was forced té accept our applicants. Sunday evening when Clonnie Young and Chester White, the two of our young men who were at first re- fused admission to the course and then accepted, as a result of the coun- cilman’s activity, arrived at the hall their tickets were taken up and their money for the same refunded. No explanation of this miserable and - jegal action was made. Monday, the matter was referred to Atty. Lawr- ‘ence O. Payne, a member of ‘the race, assistant police prosecutor, who final- ly made the management “see the error of its ways” with the result that Young and White were read- mitted to the course, Monday eve- ning. Meantime, Representative-elect Perry B. Jackson had prepared to enter sult for damages, for Young and White, under our Ohio Civil Rights Law. ‘With the ever-increasing effort to segregate and refuse our people ‘(american citizens) their rights and priviloges under the law, it seems incredible that there are members of the race im this city, and doubtless others, who are so lost to self and pace respect that they will join with vrejudiced whites who seck to @S- tablish “jim-crow Y's", hospitals, and other color-line, segregated in- stitutions. ‘Then, too, that the National Uni- versity society was conducting its business in a hall owned, maintained ‘and controlled by the tax-payers of this county seemed to mean nothing to its prejudiced management. 1 knows better now, but will bea1 watching in the future. ti erect ee ae a neato “For 65 years, now, our Negr¢ population has been under the pe culiar care and solicitude of the na tional government”, said Presiden| Calvin Coolidge in his message tc the Congress, the first of this week “Peculiar care and solicitude” is good; for the Lord knows the gov ernment’s care and solicitude have been “peculiar”, And that is the dest that one can say, too, when he recalls the past quarten of a century. Really to say they are “peculiar” is putting it far too mildly. In the second, of the two, little lonely paragraphs in his long mes- sage, the president very ingentously hands “slop to the southern hos”, using the alleged “exploiting the Negro problem for political ends”, only as a means to that end. His statement that the protection of our people in the South, or as he puts it, in “those states in which our per- ‘centage of population is largest”, is being increased is hardly borne out by the facts. This same ds true o! his statement to the effect that parts of the South already have whole- some laws for the restraint and pun- ishment of those who participate in lynching. ‘The President might be told, and truthfully, too, that state legislation against lynching will for some years to come remain the best “remedial legislation’ against mob violence in this country. “FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES” “Hearts are not steel, and steel is bent; Hearts ate not ‘flint, and flints are rent,” And if e'en flinty rocks are riven, Must ‘mortal man n’er be forgiven?

Bundy Is Being Backed by the Seventeenth Ward Politi- cal League as a Candidate in the Third District. Thousands of our voters, as well as many of other classes or races, Republicans, independent Republi cans, and even some Democrats, who aggressively supported Councilmen Gregg and George (failures) with the earnest hope and belief that their advent into the City Council would afford the community some relief from the do-nothing, negative and sometimes even distressing posi- tion toward his own people of the ‘third district and the city, steadily maintained thruout his long career in the City Council by ‘Tom Fleming, have again decided to try to bring about the election of some one who will prove a positive asset in that 7 - ao — Av ie august body. This determination in the 17th ward has resulted in the organization of the Political league which is finally to include a club in every ward of the district with a view to promoting the candidacy of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy which the 17th ward league has promoted and en- thusiastically endorsed. Reluctant at first, when approached by repre- sentatives of the organization, he has entered into the spirit of the movement for the much-needed re- lef with a willingness that augurs well for the future. There can be no question as to his knowledge of the work and needs of such a can- didacy and he is a splendid cam- paigner; nor can there be any ques- tion as'to his superior ability to serve the people of the third district and the city in a way far superior to the “representation” they now have in the City Couneil. It is en- couraging to say the least, and “The Old Reliable” Gazette wishes the movement every success. Help Our Friend!

More in oer next teave. Wilberforce-Institute Deadlock. Local daily newspapers differed widely as to the number in attend- anve upon this game at Color-line Luna Park stadium, Thanksgiving. ‘The News said about five thousand; ‘The Plain Dealer, eight thousand. ‘Therefore, judging from the reports of those in attendance and the news- pepers, a fair estimate would be 6,500, ‘The contest resulted in a tie, 13-13. W. Va. was the first to score and lead at the half, 7-6, but Wilherforce came back for the final session. The features of the game were MeConnell’s 95-yard run for a touchdown for the Institute team, and Ward's perfect kick. With the score standing at 13 to 6, Galloway charged in and blocked a West. Vir- ginia punt to the 20-vard stripe. ‘Tynes following him closely, picked up the ball and ambled over the goal line. Ward was rushed into the game at this juncture and he tied the score with a perfect kick from placement while the fans went wild. Representatives from that city, De- troit, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, which sent the largest delegation, were in attendance at the game. An attempt is to be made to have the two teams play here again, next year, but in a different place ‘so that the attend- anee at the game can be doubled, at Teast. Our local Elks ball at Public Hall in the evening, in honor of the base- ball “classic” participants, was well attended and thoroly enjoyed, among the guests being President Gilbert H. Jones of Wilberforce University, and Congressman -elect and Mrs. Oscar DePriest of Chicago. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of which are in favor of “always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the clitim that their race against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit, The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they, are by nature without self-respect and have no ‘guts’. The world respects only those who resent and re- sist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist de~ nial of rights In our native land, however long race dis- crimination may continue, To submit is t6 deserve con- tempt—Boston (Mass.)

This will mean an increase in rentals thruout the city which will be felt in a few months. For possibly a week or ten days before the Cleveland 11th ward jol- lifleation meeting, Nov. 16, Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, color-line Re- publican Governor-elect of Ohio, was advertised as a speaker but failed to appear at the meeting, just as The Gazette anticipated, Election is overt Something some of our local "‘Ne- grocs", more or less active in local polities, do not seem to realize. Cooper is aware of the fact, how- ever. The amount of bonds issued by Cleveland's City Council without a vote of the people since 1920, now outstanding, is $22,967,166. | ‘The tax revenue necessary to pay inter- est on these bonds and retire the principal has grown from $340,000 in 1920 to $2,588,747 in 1928. ‘The annual charges on the county for bonds issued without a vote of the people have increased from $294,000 in 1923 to $924,000 in 1928. Add to the foregoing ‘the fact that under City Manager Hopkins, during his first four years, the bonded indebted. ness of Cleveland was Increased $30,000,000, and both tax-payers and renters have something to think about. ‘The local Salvation Army in an- nouneing, Tuesday, its purchase of a new $165,000 rescue home and maternity hospital of 150 beds, con- struction to be statted early in 1929, notified the community that it will replace the present rescue home and maternity hospital of 100 bed-capac- ity at 5905 Kinsman Rd., which will be turned over to the Women's Col- ored home of the Army, now occupy- ing quarters in E. 40th St., near Central Ave. Of course the same “jim-crow Negroes’ are still “play- ing their part” in this latest increase of segregation just as they did when they started the ‘‘jim-crow maternity home”, in B. 40th St, with the as- sistance of the Salvation Army peo- ple. We warned them and the com- munity,at the time. They wouldn't heed the warning, but insisted on helping prejudiced whites to “leng- then the segregation halter around the necks of their people” in this community.

FEDERAL BUREAU AIDS MOTORISTS Motorists throughout the entire world are daily beneficiaries of the marvelous automotive laboratories of Uncle Sam's great bureau of standards at Washington, according to Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, who has just received a recent digest of the bureau's activities in behalf of motordom through national headquarters of the American Automobile association. "Take fuels, for example," points out Mr. Hayes. "Here is a field of research of tremendous importance to every user of an automobile. Through years of experimentation, the bureau's scientists have built up a body of knowledge which has proved of inestimable value to the petroleum industry, and, consequently, to the motorist. More efficient fuels, and more economical engines, are just single instances of the great constructive work constantly being pushed forward at the bureau." Examining into the details of the bureau's accomplishments during the last few years, Mr. Hayes declares "this governmental agency has made monumental contributions to the cause of safer motoring." Most Exhaustive Tests. "It has done this," he points out, "by conducting tests which have proved best methods in braking, of brake materials, and of general construction." These tests, he shows, have been of a most exhaustive character. "Nothing," he declares, "has been allowed to stand in the way of their successful completion. "In every direction, and in every conceivable phase of motor engineering, the bureau has interested itself to bring about improvement. Naturally, in this work the bureau has had the fastest co-operation of the automotive industry itself and of organized motordom as represented in the American Automobile association, of which we are proud to be a part." "For that reason, the bureau has meant increasingly much to all those who own or drive motor cars." "Owing to the increase of the number of automobiles in use, the hazard from grade crossings is annually becoming greater," says C. B. Van Dusen, president of the Detroit Automobile club. "In 1263 there were 5,921 highway grade-crossing accidents in which 3,492 persons were killed and 1,300 injured by driving into the sides of trains at grade crossings. "Only through the co-operation of the public and the railroads," says Mr. Van Dusen, "can a reduction in such accidents be brought about, in view of the fact that the complete elimination of highway grade crossings is almost impossible." He urges all motorists to make sure that the way is clear before driving onto a railroad track. Ten Different Kinds of Trouble in Weak Spark A weak spark or defective coil is the cause of at least ten different kinds of trouble: (1) fouling of spark plugs; (2) lazy engines; (3) slow getaway; (4) loss of power; (5) accumulation of carbon in cylinders and valves; (6) slow combustion, resulting in loss of mileage and overheating of engine; (7) hard-starting engines; (8) burning of valves and warping of valve-stems; (9) engine missing on hard pulls, and cutting out at high speeds; (10) incomplete combustion, the gas getting into the crank case and diluting the oil, with excessive wear and depreciation of pistons, cylinder walls and bearings. For the purpose of furnishing the public with authentic information concerning the subject of automobile exhaust gases and the danger or lack of danger resulting from the pollution of the atmosphere with such gases, a joint committee has been formed to encourage research and investigation toward the reduction of the amount of carbon monoxide formed in automobile operation and to attempt to eliminate this entirely if possible. Support Necessary for Tongue or Trailer Car Any motorist who occasionally makes use of a two-wheeled trailer has undoubtedly experienced difficulty in handling it, owing to the necessity of dropping the trailer tongue on the ground, or finding some support for it, which is not always available. Here is a good solution for the difficulty. Simply make a support from a length of 2 by 4-inch hardwood and a small reinforcement block of the same stock. TRAILED TONGUE SPRING LATCH SUPPORT WHEN NOT IN USE REINFORCEMENT BLOCK Hardwood Support for the Trailer Tongue is a Help to the Motorist. Hinge the support to the tongue with a strap hinge placed on the side toward the trailer, as shown, so that, when not in use, the support can be swung back and held in place by a spring latch. There is little or no danger of the support falling down when the trailer is towed, but even if it should, no damage would be done, as it would swing back and drag.—Popular Science Magazine. Greater Steering Ease "Greater steering ease" is an expression often heard in connection with modern motor cars. The fact that the approach to this improvement has been gradual suggests that there are limitations upon progress in this direction. Oscar Coolan, a Washington automobile dealer, declares that if the engineer's problem was merely to make turning the front wheels effortless, it would be simple in the extreme. "But," says Mr. Coolan, "the problem is rather to make steering as nearly effortless as possible without making the front end of the car. so sensitive to road and other variations as to make the driver expend more energy to keep it going straight ahead than he now does in turning. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS Frequent inspection of spark plugs means infrequent engine knocks. * * * * "Wait for the Wagon," will not be a popular song with the speeders any more. * * * * Avoid sudden stops, quick starts, jerks and skidding. They are hard on the springs and tires. * * * * Education in safety and accident prevention is called an essential course in all schools. * * * * If it is true that a mule was bumped off the road by an automobile, it would appear to have been a head-on collision. * * * * A car whose direction cannot be controlled is dangerous. Make frequent inspections of the steering mechanism. One homelike touch, says a returned motor camper, was that the family could use the rumble seat for a breakfast nook. A lot of drivers seem to proceed on the principal that the brakes on the car can be looked after while the driver is in the hospital. "That farm of mine ought to be going up in value," asserted a far-sighted optimist the other evening. "It is now on a main detour to town." Taxes paid by the automotive industry in the United States are greater than the total paid by both the railroad and the electric railways industry. Many people in England who walk in quiet lanes and byways at night wear small red glass disks over their shoulders to warm auto drivers that a pedestrian is ahead. THE GAZETTE CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1928. Pretty Things that are made at Home FLOWER THE AX TERNOON PRODUCTION AGAIN has the season come upon us when peace of mind is disturbed with thoughts of "what to give" for Christmas, Why not a French pearl boutonniere to each of your choicest friends who appreciate something dainty "to wear"? La Parisienne quite adores these exquisite pearl flowers, wearing them on her cunning fur muffs or on the fur at her wrists or posing them perly on coat lapel or at some vantage point on fur neckpiece or collar. They are charming, too, fastened to one's bracelet for evening wear, for wrist bouquets the latest Parisian fad. By reading directions which follow and carefully studying the sketches herewith, you can put one of these French pearl boutonnieres together in five or ten minutes. The materials themselves are not at all expensive. These consist of pearl petals in pastel pinks and other lovely tints, some smooth satin-finished, others with ridges as indicated in the picture; also delicate green pearl leaves, a cluster of tiny stemmed beads for the center and a skein of "silky tinsel," which looks like fine silver thread. WHEN LACE UNITE THE AFTERNOO AND it has the daintest lace yoke and sleeves—speaking of the velvet afternoon gown as fashion so often presents it this season. As if the new velvets did not radiate enough of beauty and luxury, lace adds its magic touch, filling the cup of enchantment full to overflowing. Flattering? Well, if all else fails try a sheer velvet frock yoked and sleeved in lace of the transparent kind. What one such costume will do to make woman-beautiful look more beautiful let your mirror frame the reply. It's the very reason stylists are this season so enthusiastically working lace and velvet together in creating their afternoon modes. Sometimes the lace is a perfect color match to the velvet it tops. As to the softly silhouetted black velvet dresses which are laying siege to women's hearts (and pocketbooks), lace is feminizing them to the point of fascination. It takes away any possi- y Your Color or an Acqu In assembling the various parts of the flower study the large sketch in the left corner. To begin, hold in the left hand the cluster of little stemmed beads which are to form the center. Begin about a half inch from the beads themselves, to wind the stems together firmly with the silky tinsel. About this cluster which is the flower center (see sketch) group three to six of the smooth satin-finished pearl petals. The flower sketched shows only three, but six makes a much prettier effect. Now wind these wire stems firmly about the center cluster of beads. The outer row of the flower requires 12 of the ridged petals, these in turn firmly wound into position. The final row is made up of six of the pointed pale green pearl leaves, their wire stems being tightly wound about those of the completed flower. When the winding is finished the wire stems should be entirely concealed in a solid mass under the silky tinsel, which is wound around and around, making the stem of the boutonniere as ornamental as the flower itself. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. S WITH VELVET N FROCK IS AT BEST bility of the unbecomingness of black to some complexions when shoulders and arms gleam through lace of exquisite transparency. Nothing but laces of handsome quality find favor with the designers of the charming lace-plus-velvet dresses which women so love to wear. For daytime velvets, alencon or various dyed silk lace are the preferred types. When evening comes, the beguiling yokes, which are sometimes that deep they form half and more of the blouse, are as often of delicate pink chiffon or net starred with glittering sequins. A very interesting sidelight in regard to the velvet-and-lace frock illustrated is the fact of its being fashioned of rayon lace and rayon velvet. Both Parisian and American style leaders are growing increasingly enthusiastic over the part that rayon is playing in the realm of beautiful fabrics. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1928.

The Telephone and Peace When the young son o. Don Casto gets into geography at school, his teacher will have a hard time convincin, him that Germany is a faraway country, or of impressing upon his mind a sense of vast distance in relation to the Atlantic ocean. To all argument along this line, young Casto may reply: "I don't see how you get that far-away idea. Why, my daddy went to Germany on the Graf Zeppelin and called up my mother and me by telephone and I heard him as plainly as if he were in town and calling up from his office. He told me to be a good boy and to kiss mother for him." In fact, it becomes increasingly difficult to impress upon young scholars the vastness of the earth. Just a short time ago, San Francisco was a far-off spot that required a long railroad trip to reach. Now, nearly every youngster in Columbus hears speaking, singing and music from the west coast metropolis in his own living room nightly before going to bed. His geography maps may show distance, but his family radio wipes it out. So what is a fellow to think when he sits down before a telephone and talks to his daddy in Germany?-Columbus Dispatch PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak in to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and domination than any other sort of error in the world." THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mor-violence or anti-lynching 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, should be identified (if lawfully) as deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, is industry 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 w/ whip, rope, or other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such an assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 2). Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand, such injury killing. Sum sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be any of his liabilities. (83 w 1626. 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 (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. A victim for the recovery provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to indemnify the victim for the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgement, and costs against it, the legal burden of the person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought into the county, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob cane, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of the county, willing to such such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 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. ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob. last another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The Proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities not less than fifty dollars shall be found 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 hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereon, to recompense the county of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Mislied by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beatty 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. Eastern District of Ohio. My Dear Sir, Observe on your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of 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 H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known town, there would have been no accusation 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 FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled, There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond. Of brotherhood is severed as the flax. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. uding It or Reading It
