OPPOSED TO DEPRIEST Chicago, Ill.—A report is current that the powerful influences of Julius Rosenwald, head of the Sears-Roebuck Co., and Samuel Insull, public utilities magnate, both of this city, are opposed to the seating of Congressman-Elect Oscar DePriest. Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Insull are said not to be opposed to Mr. DePriest on account of his color. Both are reported to be willing to aid an upstanding Afro-American of good character in a fight to go to Congress from this, the first congressional district of Illinois. But they are said to be unalterably opposed to Mr. DePriest on grounds of his un-titness. H. Williams, spent Sunday afternoon there. — Jas. Perkins of Springfield was here, Sunday. — Mrs. C.

WEAVER THANKS ALL Who Did Anything to Help Him Get a New Trial and the State Supreme Court for Granting It. Columbus, O., Feb. 27, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—By the help of God, through the voice of His people, He has answered our prayer by giving me a new trial. I know some who held special prayers for me, and thru the columns of your splendid paper, I wish to extend my profound gratitude to ALL who have stood so firmly for me and which has almost resulted in a victory. I have also written my thanks and appreciation to the State Supreme Court jurists for giving me another chance to prove that I am not a burglar nor a murderer. I hope to see you all soon. With-best wishes and kindest regards. I am sincerely. Memorial Building To Be Erected. Memorial Building To Be Erected. Washington, D. C. — Among the measures that passed the House, Monday, in the last hours of the 70th Congress was Senate Joint Resolution, 132, which passed the Senate, May 28, 1928: To create a commission to secure plans and designs for and to erect a memorial building for the National Memorial Association (incorporated), in the city of Washington, as aribute to the "Negro's" contribution to the achievements of America". Fleming Disbarred! Former Councilman Tom Fleming was disbarred in federal court, last Saturday, on an order signed by Federal Judge Paul Jones. Disbarment came on grounds of moral turpitude following Fleming's conviction on an indictment charging him with accepting a bribe. Walter Oehme, former city detective, sald Fleming accepted $200 from him in return for introducing in council legislation to pay Oehme's doctor bills. OSCAR DE PRIEST. Our First Northern Congressman Elect, the Senate and the House. Washington, D. C.—As about everyone, in this country at least, now knows we got a new President, Monday. It is sincerely to be hoped that we also got rid of the promised, mythical "Coolidge Good Times" that have punished so very many people for the past four years. Oscar DePriest, our first member of the city council of Chicago; and the first of the race from a northern state to be elected to Congress, was here, Monday. Mr. DePriest is white-haired and speaks rapidly, his words running over each other and becoming unintelligible in spots. He is a large man—about six feet four. Affected? No. His success at the city and his friendships with some of the biggest states takes as a matter of course and as a just reward for his efforts. He knows he has worked hard, and deserves to be the representative of the second richest congressional district in America, the first district of Illinois, Oscar DePriest will be seated—first because he has violated no law by which Congress can refuse him; second, because he was duly elected and has a certificate of the Governor of Illinois to that effect; third, because there is a precedent in because men under indictment have been seated—and, fourth, because he is a Republican, and the next Congress will be overwhelmingly the floor of the Senate, Saturday, walked down the center axis to the front row, sat down beside Senator Watson (Repub.) of Indiana, and shook hands. Then went into the Republican cloakroom, while several southern Democratic senators came out of their cloakroom to look him over. He moved to the Glen (Repub.) of Illinois, at the rear of the Senate chamber, and then went to the House and talked with Representative Sabath (Repub.) of Illinois, in the rear of the House chamber. Mr. DePriest spoke in the chair at Howard University, last week to a crowded house and again at a lunch tendered him by officials of the University, and made a good impression. HAS COHEN AGREED To the Alleged "Hoover Plan" That the Southern "Negro" Be Scrapped to Build Up the Republican Party in the South? Washington, D. C.—In the plans for building up the Republican party in the south, which President Hoover is said to be considering, "the Negro is to throw the scrap head" according to Basil Manly (white), a political writer, whose articles are now appearing in the southern daily press. According to Manly, it is proposed to reorganize the party on a basis of "white supremacy." eliminate the "Negro" from all positions of power and trust, and suppress all legislation, such as the Dyer anti-lynching bill, which is irritating to the southern ruling class. This is assented to, Manly says, even by such "Negro" leaders as the Hom, Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, who told me quite southern "Negro" were quite ready to see the whites in full control of the party as well as the Government, but felt that "the Negro ought to have a voice in deciding which white man is to rule him."

McMillan and two "buddies" with ten, eight and six points, led the winners' attack, and Anton tallied nine and six in the order named to prove best for the Elks. Thompson vs. Fields. Again: Chicago, Ill.—Jackie Fields of Los Angeles, contender for the world Weiterweight championship, was matched, last week Tuesday, for a ten-round bout here with Young Jack Thompson of San Francisco, March 25. Thompson knocked out Joe Dundee, the title holder, in a non-title fight here, last summer. He met Fields on the coast a few months ago, dropping the decision after a savage battle. Prior to that he had won from Fields. The match will be staged in the Coliseum, under the direction of Promoter Jim Mullen. Joseph Weaver, granted a new trial, recently, by the state supreme court, was returned to Cleveland, last week. Among the confession statements of Alex. Maynor, now serving life for the same crime, was that he framed Weaver to save my own life. County Prosecutor Ray Miller, following a conference with Atty, Nate Cook, last week Saturday, said Weaver's new trial would go on as soon as possible, the first question being when he could bring witnesses here from the state penitentiary in Columbus. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE BRITISH IN AFRICA PAVING THE WAY FOR AFRICAN CONTROL OF THAT COUNTRY. Giant Area With Ten Million Inhabitants, Under English Colonists, the Basis! New President and Vice-President M. B. J. B. H. London, England.—A "black domination" of 10,000,000 persons, governed by a scattered handful of white men under the British flag, is slowly taking shape in East Africa and growing into a point of international controversy, according to well-informed sources here. The dominion project, which would enhance Britain's overseas power considerably, has aroused strong criticism in Germany, where it is alleged the scheme involves violation of England's pledges, under the League of Nations covenant, in one of the territories involved, the vastly rich Tanganyika area. Tanganyika covers 373,000 square miles and has been held by Britain under a mandate since the war. Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika are the proposed component parts of the new offshoot of the British Empire. Leads to Dominion. A hint of the proposals is found in the report of a commission investigating conditions in East Africa, under the chairmanship of Sir Edward Hilton Young. The commission recommended further improvement in administration and appointment of a high commissioner for the three territories. This might eventually lead to creation of the post of governor-general, according to certain quarters, and the first step toward creation of a dominion.

Million Inhabitants, Under Monists, the Basis! tack on the development in East Africa charges that "the merging of the former German East Africa in a great administrative system would mean that the mandate would become a facade behind which annexation of Tanganyika would be carried out." Sends Out Colonists. Certainly, Britain has realized the tremendous political and economic value of the new areas under her control and has sent out thousands of colonists to exploit the territories and educate natives. Kenya is the largest white colony, numbering 12,500. The officials there rule some 2,736,000 natives. They are slowly developing a great trade in cotton, hides, ivory and timber with Britain and the United States. Nairobi, capital of Kenya, is a little city planted in the midst of the jungle and over-run with American motor cars which are suitable for the dirt roads. Tanganyika has a population of almost 4,500,000 natives and Uganda, which has been under British rule since 1894, has 3,200,000. In each territory the natives are slowly being educated and the centralization and extension of their power is growing slowly but surely with the increase in education and the growth of the great Ethiopian Church. Africa will again be governed and controlled by its own black population. NO DEAR YOU ARE NOT YET FULLY RECOVERED FROM THE MEASLES - NOW DON'T LET ME SEE YOU GO OUT OF THE YARD NO MA'AM SHUCKS!

SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1929. CALVIN COOLIDGE Calvin Coolidge has turned the most powerful office in the world over to his successor, elected four months ago. For Mr. Coolidge all the big guns of almost every daily newspaper editorial office roared a salute. Was he not the "ideal" president—for Wall St.? Did he not honestly defer at every point to the superior intelligence, and the wisdom of "Big Business"? Few chapters in American history have been more remarkable than the rise of this small town bill-collecting lawyer to the Presidency without any qualifications of personality or ability save a certain Yankee shrewdness and unbounded luck. First he got on the "esculator of Massachusetts politics". Then a strike, which he did not settle and which he tried to dodge, made him famous, largely through a brave sounding sentence written after the crisis, probably by another man, but signed by Coolidge! Then a tired and hot convention nominated him for the vice-presidency which was going begging. More than most vice-presidents was he insignificant—not even was he slated for renomination. Then Harding's death and the scandals. Coolidge did nothing to uncover them but his very inconspicuousness, his New England frugality, his well-staged oath of office in his father's oil-lit farmhouse, made him the ideal figure-head of the party. No wonder Coolidge joined the Church. If ever a man had reason to believe in a certain kind of providence it was he. Of one thing we may be sure. However President Hoover has talked and will talk there is little love between him and his predecessor and he will not spend his time following Coolidge policies. Hoover is a militant defender of the present social order, yet he was not Wall St.'s first choice and is still looked upon by "Big Business" with a little apprehension lest he occasionally try to tell it something instead of docilely listening like the "great" Calvin. WALZ TRIMS BLOSSOM. In a communication to a local daily paper, a few days ago, Councilman F. W. Walz wrote: "I was hurrying to keep an appointment when Mr. Blossom poured on me. Had I known that the hero of the encounter was Dudley Blossom Esq. I would have reminded him that the thirty-odd thousand people he created his department not so long ago would have equipped many hospital beds so sadly needed" It is said that Director Dudley S. Blossom is a southerner. If sc that explains his persistent opposition to our internes, and girls who desire to become trained nurses, using the City Hospital. It looks as if we will have to help vote out City Manager Will Hopkins (who sides with Blossom in this matter) and the City Manager Plan in order to get rid of Blossom, one of the City Manager's directors, a member of his cabinet. Our people, voters, must not forget these two individuals and be ready and willing to act when the time comes. AS TO WEAVER'S ATTORNEYS. We have received a letter from Sidney B. Thompson, similar to the one he had published in a local daily paper, last week, suggesting that a mass meeting of our people be held to show Joseph Weaver's attorneys "our appreciation" of their splendid work for him wholly at their own expense since his conviction in the fall of 1927. It would be a mistake to do this at this time. Then, too, it would simply be another mass-meeting flasco like the one for former Councilman Fleming, held at Mt. Zion Cong, church before his trial, several weeks ago, the reaction of which would, too, prove more harmful than helpful. Friend Thompson has allowed his appreciation of what Attorneys Nathan Cook and Wm. Marsteller have done for Weaver to outweigh "for the time being" his best judgment but, we are sure, will "see the point" on sober, second thought. When Joseph Weaver has been liberated will be the time for our people to raise money for his attorneys if they wish to. Not a dime should be given to any one for such a purpose until Weaver is at liberty. Then he can let our people know how much help he needs and the matter can be taken up and disposed of in a regular and well-organized way, the mass-meeting being held, when the attorneys are presented whatever fund has been raised for them on the suggestion of Weaver. HAITI AND NICARAGUA. Why so much "to do" in the daily press of the country over the refusal of the U. S. Senate to stop providing money to keep U. S. marines in Nicaragua, and not a word said about the U. S. marines in Haiti where outrages have been committed that the marines in Nicaragua would not dare to commit? This country is warring on "poor bleeding Haiti" even more than on Nicaragua, and on both countries because they are weak and cannot defend themselves in a proper way against this great and powerful nation. We are hoping that President Herbert Hoover, whose knowledge of the South Atlantic and South American countries is said to be exceptional, will see our unconstitutional misconduct in both Haiti and Nicaragua in its proper light and throw the weight of his influence and power, as President, in favor of ending the shameful "American Control" in Haiti and the miserable and inexcusable American interference in Nicaragua. President Hoover knows this country can never hope to gain the friendly relations and trade of those countries just so long as the United States violates their constitutional rights as is being done in the two countries named. FOOL—AMERICAN PREJUDICE. At the citizens' "jury" meeting at Hotel Allerton, this city, Tuesday evening, Atty. Wm. R. Green called attention to the fact that too few of our people are called for jury service and, as a rule, when they are called and reach the jury box, they are excused. This is true and is undoubtedly one reason why there is so much complaint of the low standard of jury service afforded in several recent ballot-fraud cases and for some years, here in Cleveland. The failure to use more of our citizens for jury service, and the too frequent "sidetracking" of those called to serve, is but another of the many demonstrations, in and out of the courts, of damphool American prejudice that so often reacts in a harmful way. The white people of this country have a long way yet to go in order to get to improved jury service and many other much-needed things, especially those absolutely necessary in order to make it anything like it is boasted as being. GREGG AND GEORGE. Councilmen E. J. Gregg and Clayborne George have aligned themselves definitively with the Republican party, it became known Wednesday. But that won't save them! The two failures, as councilmen, according to Councilman Herman H. Finkle, Republican floor-leader, sought and were permitted to attend the Republican Council caucus, last Saturday. Gregg campaign supporters, in the fall of 1927, declared him to be an independent Republican and so he announced. George also posed as an independent Republican when a candidate. And yet, both listed as Democrats and acted with the Democrats when they reached the Council and until in recent months. Neither of them has accomplished anything worthwhile, as members of the Council, either for their people of this community or for the community at large. Neither of them has even tried in a proper way to fully open the City Hospital to our people. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1929. OHIO BELL IN NEW PROGRAM OF EXPANSION OHIO BELL IN NEW PROGRAM OF EXPANSION To Expend $25,000,000 For Improvements In Phone System In 1929 The biggest telephone constructi- program in its history will be undertaken in 1929 by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, according to Rendolf Eide, vice president. Nearly $25,000,000 will be expended during the year on new telephone lines, buildings and equipment, Mr. Eide announced. This follows an expansion program of $19,360,000 during 1928 which was the biggest undertaken by the company up until that time. During 1928, the company added 42,000 telephones to its system, which was several thousand more than it had expected at the beginning of the year. On January 1, 1929, there were approximately 644,000 telephones connected to the company's exchanges, and the engineers estimate that this will be increased by about 42,000 more during the year. New lines and equipment must be provided in advance of this growth in order that requests for service can be met promptly, Mr. Eide said. The company therefore makes careful studies of all requirements that can be anticipated, and sets up a budget to meet them. New buildings, new exchanges, additions to existing exchanges and thousands of miles of new lines are planned every year to take care of the increase in population and business, as well as the growing habit of talking by telephone. More than $4,000,000 will be spent for dial equipment in cities throughout the state, $1,825,000 of which is for Cleveland. Work will be started on a dial system which will serve all of Akron, representing the largest installation in the country to convert an entire city to dial operation at one time. New manually operated switchboards and additions to existing switchboards will cost $2,535,000. Cables, conduit and aerial lines to provide more local service in the towns and cities will cost $6,330,000, and new telephone instruments, private branch exchanges and other equipment on subscribers' premises represent $5,840,000 of the total. Every section of the state will benefit from the erection of new long-distance lines and cables. The Ohio Bell will spend $2,470,000 in addition to large expenditures by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company for lines to cities outside of Ohio. Some of the new cable lines will be between Cleveland and Chagrin Falls; Canton, North Canton and Hartville; Cleveland and Akron; Columbus and Canal Winchester; Massillon and Cambridge; Columbus and Cambridge; and Findlay and Dayton. 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. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT FOR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.

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 enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: 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 accommodations, full enjoyment of the accommodations, privileges 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 hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio supreme court. The impractical is our people will not use it as often they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

Dr. I. S. Tuppins of Rendville was our first Ohio mayor, it seems. He was elected in 1886 and re-elected in 1888, both times over white opponents. He died in 1889 while still in office. Since that time, Rendville has had four Afro-American mayors B. B. Allen James R. Cromwell, C. R. Ginn and Wm. H. Addison, who is now holding the office. Many years ago, a member of the race was mayor of Harvetsburg, a little city in the southern part of the state. The bill of exceptions in the case of former Councilman Tom Fleming, convicted of accepting a $200 bribe, was sent, Monday, to Judge N. Craig McBride of Hillsboro, by County Clerk Wallace. The signing of the bill by McBride, who presided at Fleming's trial, will pave the way for an appeal of the conviction, Atty. George W. Spooner, representing Fleming, will then have fifteen days to file briefs in the appellate court.

Again we call attention to the fact that our people of Charleston, W Va., have recently forced the board of education of that city to open the Charleston public library to them. Now let Rev. Russell S. Brown, our new member of the City Council, lead the fight to open the City hospital, also a public institution maintained by the tax-payers, to our internes and its school of nursing to our girls. Our taxpayers of this community (and that means tenants, too) should no longer be forced to send their boys to the nation's capital, or elsewhere, to interne and their girls to Lincoln hospital, N. Y City, or elsewhere, to enter schools for nurses. It is an insult that amounts to outrage for them to be longer subjected to any such damnable mistreatment by City Manager Will R. Hopkins and Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, simply because one or both of them are prejudiced or desire to cater to Kluxers and other prejudiced persons. We now have three members of the City Council again in Brown, Dr. E. J. Gregg and Atty. Clayborne George, and if they do not start immediately, and work together energetically, to accomplish the opening of the City Hospital to our people in common with all others in this community, they need never again ask the support of their people of this community for any public office. "Jim-crow Negroes" to say nothing of "jim-crow Negro" councilmen, are not wanted in Cleveland by the great mass of our people here, the great majority of whom are most decidedly and unalterably opposed to all forms of public segregation and discrimination on score of race or color. Get busy, Councilmen Brown, Gregg and George! Councilmen Brown has been styled "a leader of his people in this community" by the local daily press (white). Now let us see you do something concrete and practical, in the way of real leadership, something that affects favorably all of our people of this community, "Bro ther" Brown, and we, too, will acclaim you "a leader" of our people "in this community", and that will really mean something. Yes, "the eyes of the community are on you", and this City hospital matter is by far the most important, from a local race viewpoint, you will have to deal with regardless of how long you remain a member of the City Council. Next, in importance, is the matter of improved street-car service on the Central, Scovill and Cedar Ave. lines. Something Councilman George started after with a resolution in the Council, some weeks ago, but which he apparently has allowed to sink into innocuous desucture along side of Councilman Gregg's much-heralded "housing" resolution of many months ago. Atty. T. Gillis Nutter, head of the Charleston, W. Va., N. A. A. C. P. branch, lead the fight to open the library of that city to ALL of its residents when he took the matter into the courts, promptly. Something Atty. Chas. W. White, president of the Cleveland N. A. A. C. P. branch, should have done, many months ago, in the case of the Cleveland City hospital and doubtless would have done if permitted to do so by those in control of the local and always ineffective N.

DISCARD AMBER TRAFFIC LIGHT Red and Green Alone Accomplish Desired Results. The amber traffic light, designed to increase safety of pedestrians and prevent intersection collisions, is fast being forced into the discard. While traffic experts are still at odds as to the value of the amber light in combination with red and green lights, there is a widespread movement to discard the "warning" or "get ready" signal because drivers misinterpret its meaning. New York, Buffalo, Albany, and dozens of smaller cities throughout the country have adopted a system of red and green traffic lights, omitting the yellow light, and have reported their success. Most cities still use the three-color lights, but there is a widespread difference in the combinations used and the interpretation placed upon the center light. The experts agree that if the yellow or amber light is used mainly as a warning of a change it should be discarded. There is a tendency for traffic to start while the yellow light is showing, which is undesirable. Many of the experts say that the red and green alone accomplish the desired result with less confusion. That there are wide differences in interpretation of the amber light's meaning is shown by a study just completed by the American engineering council. Twenty-six cities using the three-color traffic signal interpret the amber as a caution signal; 27 use it as a warning of change; 17 to clear the intersection of traffic and 11 for pedestrian movement. Eighty-five cities are using the three-color signal system, of which 70 use the amber after red and green. Eight have recognized the undesirability of using it after the red, and consequently use it only after the green is flashed. Eighteen cities use the amber in combination with the red or green. The experts agree that use of the amber in combination with red, as the custom in Washington and several other large cities, should not be continued. The amber light in such cases is taken as a signal to start. Most of the men who have studied the problem see some merit in the use of amber with the green light, because it should bring moving traffic to a halt in preparation for a change. The exponents of the two-color system, red and green only, say that the desired result can be obtained without the amber light. Three cities have inaugurated systems of only red and green lights, but provide a period of darkness to clear the intersection for the change. Nine have overlapped the red and green in all directions. Working on the information that persons who are to some extent color-blind constitute 5 per cent of the population, the bureau of standards has selected colors which are disinguishtable to most if not all persons having defective color vision. Chicago Man Using Home Wheels to Tread on Wheels to Travel F. H. Buzacot, aged sixty-nine, of Chicago, has completed a cruiser car which he believes is unique among vehicles used in overland travel. The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet high from the ground. It has sleeping accommodations for four people, front and rear observations, radio, kitchenette, shower bath, and other conveniences. He plans to travel abroad in the car until 1933, when he will return to Chicago to exhibit it at the World's fair. Horn Blowing Irritates and Also Meaningless Only the thoughtless motorist blows his horn when his car is in a traffic jam, according to President Charles M. Hayes of the Chicago Motor club, who pointed out that horn blowing under these conditions is useless and meaningless. Such a practice hinders rather than helps, Mr. Hayes declared. It irritates the nerves of the man in front and of the traffic policeman on duty; it doesn't clear the jam; it frequently angers all concerned and further delays the movement of traffic, Mr. Hayes asserted. The proper place to make liberal use of the horn, according to Mr. Hayes, is when driving on curves; on mountain roads or when approaching blind intersections on country roads. In such places the motorist who has the horn-blowing habit may indulge to his heart's content with a resultant reduction of the accident hazard. Clogged Exhaust Pipes Cleaning out an automobile exhaust pipe from end to end, removing all the carbon, can be readily done by means of the device shown in the picture.

The most dangerous part of a car is often the nut that holds the steering wheel. It might have a suggestive salutary effect to make steering-wheels in the form of a harp. Among the distances shortened by the automobile is the one between the introduction and the altar. According to rubber companies, the average tire expense per car is now less than any other item required by a motor vehicle. A new French eight-cylinder car is equipped with eight small neon tubes mounted on the dashboard. If a spark plug falls to function properly, it is noted by the failure of one of the tubes to glow when the switch is turned on. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1929. UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD LIMBERT KENNEDY & LIMBERT KENNEDY A BECOMING neckline is greatly to be coveted. It's not far from true to say that a neckline makes or mans a dress. Anyway the neckline has a lot to do with whether you like a dress or prefer another. In matter of neckline the new spring frocks are ever so satisfying in that they register one intriguing flattering effect after another. Evidently the nonchalant draping and tying of the popular triangle and kerelief scarfs has had its influence on designers who are creating necklines this season which reflect these tendencies. Soft drape effects which involve scarfs, bows, streamers, panels, caplets and what not are played up in every conceivable way. The scarf especially invigiles itself into the picture at every opportunity. One-sided scarf effects are introduced in novel DELICATE TOUCH OF BEADS ENLIV AS TO whether the beaded gown is fashionable—depends. If by beaded gown is meant one of those "fearfully and wonderfully made" creations laden with beads en masse until not an inch of the original fabric is visible, their day of triumph has departed. The modern beaded gown bears little resemblance to the beaded gown of yesteryear. To win fashion's favor the evening gown of the moment must be discreetly touched with beads, not smothered with them. The beaded theme must be interpreted with that delicacy which achieves an elusive beauty—now here, now there a bit of a sparkle. The theory that a few beads are more effective than many works out exquisitely in the instance of the gown in the picture. Here simple motifs are daintily worked with handsome crystals at neckline and at bibline. Typically new in more ways than one is this exclusive model. In the first place it highlights fashion's latest whim, that of the very sheer gown sparsely worked with beads. At smart functions one sees countless gowns which look as if they came straight from fairyland, being all of frothy billewy tulle or of some other equally as diaphanous transparency, enlivened My Your Coor or an Acqu treatments. Then again triangles are worked in to serve as yokes, which also the somewhere effectively. The resourcefulness of the designer in the matter of inventing new necklines is demonstrated in the graceful effects which drape across the front and tie at the back. As to bows necklines without a bow of some kind, somewhere, are in the minority. The smart street dress of soft woolen in the picture boasts a fetching new neckline treatment with the soft drape effect as its basic theme. Another point of interest which invites attention in the detailing of this swagger frock is the cunning peplum at the waistline. It is very new, this idea of a wee apron effect or flaring frill. Many of the print frocks feature plaited peplums. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929 Western Newspaper Union.) OF GLITTERING GIVENS SHEER GOWNS with a lightsome touch of glittering beads. Then there is another feature about this evening frock in the picture. It conveys a new trend—the semi-princess silhouette. Very often the idea is carried out to the point that the top of the frock adopts slender princess lines, contrasted by excessive fullness coming from a long waistline. In this instance, while the hemline achieves fullness, a slender one-piece effect is maintained. Among enchanting versions of dainty beaded modes appears a ravishing gown of peach-pink chiffon. The bodice follows the line of the figure with that slender lovely grace so characteristic of the newer silhouettes. There's the semblance of a frail little belt worked in rhinestones and a very decollete sleeveless yoke is also delicately patterned with beads. One of the sweetest debutante gowns in the social picture is of white stiff fened chiffon, a fabric of utmost smartness. Rhinestones and tiny mirrors form little flower motifs and these are scattered here and there like blossoms fluttering their way in joyous springtime. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (® 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) SEGREGATION USED AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO LOWER OUR STATUS AS AMERICAN CITIZENS. How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! Washington, D.C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. In theince 1950, our parks President Wilson never tended, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censualakers, this city at least, with black residents to white people and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. The black community carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by the police. A private trial some months ago, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and Judge Edgar J. Edge of North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, the superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not vote, and why he declares democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Constitution, and found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.)) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white employees may appear while blacks and chat in comfort while cats while the colored clerks must bring cold lunches from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for those same colors of employment. This is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed invitations to the white employees, in order to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and we entered the building to invite the clerks as well as the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of man. The colored jobs have to form, to form, which processes regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the managers are required to pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly. He took the courtroom to complain young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance in the lobby, he was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees taught that there is no way of escaping for dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of them to be met by a deal that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous habit of neglect thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a rebel protesting and the noble wife of Susan Robert (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for the segregation of women and white men, been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was un- House appeared at the bureau to on intimate terms at the White tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people stay in their places, the young ladies resisted the order to last which and were summarily dismissed." Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing the public from the threat. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. C. P. secured the victory in six hundred thousand white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. We have their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of girls must take these inferior positions in segregation of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. —The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial gentus since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great man who left from the West Indies and in that latter year that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, lifted the national banking system; he financed the Civil War; and Ohio's financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when notions are due; ability to go so far and The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to bring distances when they desire the them. The department maintains a large magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and specialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the house, who take advantage of this "delightful retreat", and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but the Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group. The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is public, claimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." This segregation war that protest against the abolition of the division result in the they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. Patronize Our Advertisers
