BROWN TO ACT! To Open City Hospital to Our People in Common With All Others —Good! Cleveland, Mar. 12, '29. Hon. Harry C. S. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My dear Mr. Smith:—Please accept my thanks for appreciation for your interest in connection with election to the City Council. There has been on the whole a pleasant response to my election and I hope I can be or some service to the city before I leave the Council in the fall. I feel that you are right in the matter of the City Hospital and I believe that there are enough fair-minded citizens in Cleveland who believe that this is right and they will support an effort made in this direction. I am glad such information is necessary to prepare the resolution which I expect to present to the City Council to open the City Hospital to all citizens without regard to race or creed. This is right in my opinion and I shall lend what influence I might have to secure it. My good friend, Mr. George Myers, and many others have frequently pointed this out to me and I believe this particular matter must become an issue in Cleveland unless the city authorities can see in advance. With sincere regards, I am Yours truly, Russell S. Brown. Willed $85,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—Among the local institutions named as beneficiaries in the will of the late Miss Mary A. Dobbins (white), who died, Jan. 27, were the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital, $50,000, to be received in annuities as provided in the testament of deceased; our Age and Infirm People, $25,000; and $10,000 to our Home for Cramped Children. HUSHED UP A POLICE ASSAULT Seven Hundred at Mass Meeting Deplore Act of One of the Race—Also Insist Patrolman Who Killed Man Be Dismissed Pending Trial. Jersey City, N. J.—A police system which permits a patrolman to carry on his duties after he has shot and killed a citizen in a speakeasy brawl, and a political leader of the race who would betray his people by hushing up an attempted attack on a woman of the race by a white police lieutenant, were both strongly condemned at a demonstration made by more than 700 of our people of this city at a mass meeting held in the Y. W. C. A. building, last week Friday night. The dismissal of Patrolman Joseph Gantner, until such Dr. William A. Byrd. time as he was heard by the grand jury, for the shooting and killing of Philip Harris in a Lafayette saloon was demanded by the speakers at the meeting, as was the replacement of the "political leader who was selling his race for a $4,000-m-year job". The meeting was kept decidedly non-political by Rev. Frederick Handy, who presided. Many of the speakers were able, however, to bring out that only through politics could a political system, which was ruthlessly stamping on our people of this city, be ousted and they get the rights they have so long been fighting for. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NOT WORTH A "TINKER'S DAM" MANY WHITE MEN IN THE SOUTH, SAYS HEYWOOD BROUN, THE WRITER. He Might Have Included the North, Too, and for the Same Reason—“The Plainest of Plain Speaking”—The Truth. New York City.—Heywood Broun, the celebrated columnist, whose daily comment is published in the New York Telegram and other Scripps-Howard newspapers throughout the United States, recently sent from Palm Beach, Florida, the following blast of the plainest of plain speaking on the treatment of white south-westers of the “Negro”. color line, but there is lenience for the white man who makes the same journey. If there is to be a true passion for racial purity it must come from both sides. It is not possible to tell a person in all sorts of ways that he is inferior and at the same time assure him that he ought to be satisfied with the condition within which God has pleased to call him. I know that in certain south- "Most historians agree", he writes, "that even if there had never been a Civil War the South would have abolished slavery in another generation. Wise men in the southern states were beginning to realize that from sheer self-interest the institution could not be preserved. They were less moved by the 'Negro' than by the realization that it was increasingly harmful to the white. The southerner of today ought to go a step further than this and realize that the present status of the 'Negro' is handicapping the entire South, both white and black. It is extremely difficult to develop civilization under diverse forms of slavery, which harbors a helot class. I'm aware that the Greeks did it, but there seems at 'the moment to be no proof that Athens, Ga., is likely to duplicate the glories of the more ancient city. The average southerner is kindly and pleasant enough to the 'Negro' as long as he 'knows his place'. It is the 'upypta Negro' who arouses the ire of the whites, who is wholly fallacious reasoning. For the sake of the argument I will accept the entire philosophy of the South in regard to the 'Negro' problem. In reality I don't, but there's no harm in being legalistic for the moment. As I understand it, the southern white man sets up barriers against the 'Negro' because he is afraid that approaching social equality would mean the admixture of the races. Commenting upon this tenet of the South, Mr. Broun says that "if the South wants racial purity it wants to be one of the most evil of nations, and not demigloss it." "Many a southerner soffs at the notion of any high moral standards among 'Negro' women. Now I ask you is that the way in which to encourage chastity sufficient to repel the advances of lewd white men? For there are such even in the South. Horrible penalties are visited upon the 'Negro' who dares to cross the Jersey City who can turn the trick if justice is denied". Mrs. Evelyn B. Smith commended the work of Frank Reardon in making out the case against Lieut. Dugan, and praised the spirit Commissioner Beggans displayed in dismissing Dugan when the facts conclusively showed that the young woman of the race, a wife, who accused him of attempting to assault her in the Communipaw Ave. station-house was accused of killing a woman. It was not until our residents of the city could rid the community of such men as would sell their race for a $4,000 political job that we could hope to receive true justice. Bion Jones, Republican leader, pointed out that some time ago at a meeting in Public School No. 29 the political boss of Jersey City said, pointing to his colored leader, that he would rather have one ignorant man by his side than all the intelligents in the city. As long as the ignorant are to represent the colored people, Jones said, the conditions now confronting the race would continue. That the Afro-American must fight his own battle for his rights, intelligently, was one of the thoughts running through all the talks at the meeting. REMEMBERS COL. CHAS. YOUNG New York City.—The birthday anniversary of the late Col. Charles Young of Ohio, a graduate of West Point, and at the time of his death our highest ranking officer in the U. S. army, was held at the Salem M. E. church, Sunday afternoon. The speakers were; Roosevelt Jackson, a former member of the Tenth Army, who served under Col. Young; Capt. M. V. Boutte, who served on General Pershing's staff on the World War; Col. W. A. Taylor of the 369th infantry; Mrs. Laura B. Prisk and Miss Blanche Watson. There were also musical and literary features.

In the North, Too, and for the "The Plainest of Plain "—The Truth. color line, but there is lenience for the white man who makes the same journey . . . If there is to be a true passion for racial purity it must come from both sides. It is not possible to tell a person in all sorts of ways that he is inferior and at the same time assure him that he ought to be able to learn the language into which God has pleased to call him. I know that in certain southern libraries books written by 'Negroes' are not acceptable. Could anything be sillier and more shortsighted on the part of the 'lily-white' faction? Instead, the southern Nordic should be eager to hally display of 'Negro' genius. In so far as it lies in his power he should assist in the creation of a great 'Negro' tradition. Raise up the Negro from an enforced humility and may in time be not only content but able to do so. To be able to know now there is no point whatsoever in making it unduly hard. It is to be 'jim-crowism' the accommodations for 'Negroes' should be at least as good as, if not better, than those provided for the whites. Once I heard James Weldon Johnson, a speech in the N. A. A. C. P., make a speech in which he said that in almost every southern state far more was appropriated for the education of white children than was children, 'I don't understand that', he said, 'because most southern white men say that the colored child is much more stupid. In that case twice as much ought to be spent on his education as is spent on the white children'. It will be said that I have no right to voice an opinion on the 'Negro' problem after spending one week in Florida. But, as a matter of fact, it is the white problem that the colored child has ever benefited in the long run by the existence of a peasant class. For one week I have been moving about among colored men who continually touch their hats and 'sir' any visitor. And in a week's time I feel that these ridiculous rites have in some way injured me. I expect to recover. Nobody is likely to call me 'sir' up North. But if this process went on, not for a week but for months and years, I think I would have a permanently harmful effect. Of white men in the South army busy being superior that they really have no time to be in any way worth a tinker's dam". EXPOSES REPUBLICANS! Congressman Busby of Mississippi Does It and Demands His Office-Room. Washington, D. C.—Congressman Busby, D. Miss. (Dem.), exposed in the House, March 2, a plan to "jim-crow" Oscar DePriest, our Congressman-elect from Chicago, in the House office-building. The House was discussing the bill to erect here a $500,000 memorial in honor of the "Necrow." Busby accused the Republicans of helping they were our friends when they were killed. "In the House officebuilding had in mind to file on a certain office. I was led to believe that it was to be reserved for certain other purposes but found out later that it was proposed to put DePriest in that office, although I have served six years in Congress. I was being missed in order that this 'Negro' might be preferred over me and I said, 'No; you are not going to do that. I am entitled to this office and I am going to put. So in order to isolate him and put off in one corner, you wanted him located there in one of the best offices, the one that I wanted to file on and was entitled to. This is the real situation and I am not varnishing the facts.' Congressman-elect DePriest, attended the Republican caucus, March 2, and was warmly received by Speaker Longworth and other members of the House. Mr. DePriest said he expects to be seated, his certificate having been signed by the governor and secretary of the state of Illinois. He appointed his secretary at $4,000 a year and has been assigned to Room 130 in the House office-building. Trouble. Trouble' Baltimore, Md.—The Afro-American, local race paper, announces that Countee Cullen, poet, and his wife of less than a year, Yolande, daughter of Editor Wm. E. DuBois, are reported to be estranged and that a similar condition is reported to be existing between Shelton H. Bishop of N. Y. City and his wife, a daughter of Bishop A. J. Carey, of the A. M. E. church, a Chicago civil service commissioner.

Bob Church of Tennessee is sure one political optimist when it comes to the Hoover administration's probable relations to the "Negro". "Those Washington Negroes" are at it, again—banqueting one another. Recently, they "honored" Dr. John R. Hawkins who last fall stepped down from the high pedestal, upon which many of our best people had placed him, to accept the chairmanship of the "jim-crow" division, of the Republican national committee, that functioned during the last presidential campaign. "EASY PICKING!" Most of our papers that started using the "Illustrated Feature Section", a supplement put out by a Chicago advertising agency, have very sensibly and wisely dropped it. The "Illustrated Feature Section" enables the agency to take advantage of our newspapers by carrying advertisements for which the agency (and not our newspapers) is paid. The few race papers that still use the alleged "Illustrated Feature Section" ought to also drop it. Wake up! brethren of the race press. Don't be such "easy picking". HARLEM'S OPPORTUNITY Hon. Royal Weller (white), member of Congress from the 21st district of N. Y. state, died recently. Harlem is in that district and Weller won the nomination, last fall, from our candidate, the Hon. Edward A. Johnson, by a majority of only 8,000. Johnson ought to win this time and be company for Congressman-elect Oscar De Priest of Chicago, if the latter is seated, of course. Weller's successor will doubtless be nominated and elected, this fall. Meantime, Gov. Roosevelt (Dem.) of that state will doubtless appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy until the fall primary and election. The Governor might "do himself proud" and greatly benefit his party of the "Empire State" and the nation by appointing as Weller's successor some prominent Afro-American Democrat of his state. WILL THE PRESIDENT? The Hoover Administration is now on. Every effort is being put forward to make this country "a white man's country". Whether Mr. Hoover will fall for this propaganda remains to be seen. Colored men of the south are being invigiled into subscribing to an "all white Republican South" so far as running the government is concerned and drawing the money thereof. In this country, every American citizen is just as eligible to hold office as the other. The prerequisite is fitness and ability. It is the idiest folly and sheerest rot to say that with all of the training and education colored men have had they are not qualified to hold office. It is the subterfuge of the dishonest citizen who in an underhand way is attempting to create an "office slavery" for colored men irrespective of their fitness. Any kind of oligarchy or aristocracy in America is reprehensible and the man that submits cringingly to it, is a coward. The right use of our vote where it counts can defeat any move of this kind. "THE THREE MUSKETEERS". Councilmen Gregg, George and Brown voted at a recent meeting of the City Council in favor of purchasing for $137,002.50 property adjoining Wade Park Manor which will greatly benefit that hotel (for the city to own it) and, as Councilman Walz truthfully says, property this city really does not need for park or any other purposes. Neither Brown, Gregg nor George can enjoy the hospitality of that hotel because of their color and race-connection, and yet they sat in the Council and voted for ordinance, No. 86639, referred to, in the foregoing, which so greatly benefits Wade Park Manor. Lord, have mercy! SUPPORT JACKSON. Our only Ohio legislator, Representative Perry B. Jackson of this city appeared before the joint-finance committee of the State Assembly on Mar. 6 to protest against a rule in force at Ohio University, Athens, which prevents the admission of our students from the South. He was ably supported by Mrs. Dovie King Clarke, her husband, Rev. E. A. Clarke; Rev. C. T. Isom, of Columbus, and several other members of the race from Dayton. Our people thruout the state should get in touch with their state representatives and state senators, urging them to support Mr. Jackson in this effort. LONG DISTANCE RATE REDUCTIONS SAVE $5,000,000 LONG DISTANCE RATE REDUCTIONS SAVE $5,000,000 Cuts of Five to Twenty-five Cents Made in Calls to Points Outside of Ohio Another reduction in long-distance telephone rates has been announced by the Bell System, effective February 1, 1929. It represents an annual saving to the public of more than $5,000,000. The new schedule of rates, according to E. F. Carter, president of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, affects all inter-state calls to and from Ohio between points 130 to approximately 1,500 miles apart. The reduction cuts from five to twenty-five cents from charges for station-to-station calls in these mileage ranges. This reduction is the third that the Bell System has made in two years and four months and is in keeping with the system's policy of providing "the best possible service at the least cost consistent with financial safety," according to W. S. Gifford, head of the system. "Earnings more than sufficient to provide such service will, under our policy, either be spent for the enlargement and improvement of the service furnished or the rates cted argued for the service must be reduced." Mr. Gifford said. "Both things have happened, the rates have been reduced and the service improved. During 1928 there was a continuous improvement in the speed with which toll and long-distance calls have been handled. The fact that more than 90 per cent of these calls are now handled while the subscriber remains at the telephone has been one of the influences that has brought about the steadily increasing use of long-distance facilities that marked the year. Another improvement is the extension of the country's network of inter-city telephone cable, which is practically storm proof and provides dependable long-distance service between centers of population. The construction of 1,500 miles of such cable during 1928 is a record for any single year. "The new schedule of rates that goes into effect February 1 cuts from five cents to twenty-five cents from charges for station-to-station calls between points from 130 to approximately 1,500 miles apart. Middle distances rates will enjoy reductions as high as 13 per cent. An equivalent rate reduction is made for person-to-person service. Evening and nights rates remain at their present level." For a call from New York to Cleveland the basic station-to-station day rate is reduced from $2.05 to $1.80. A New York-Chicago call costs $3.00 instead of $3.25. A New York-Palm Beach call or one between Denver and San Francisco costs $3.75 instead of $4. Separate rates for appointment and messenger service under the new schedule are eliminated, these services being offered after February 1 at regular person-to-person rates. The extra charges above person-to-person rates previously made for appointment and messenger calls are eliminated on February 1 for all long-distance calls, and these calls will be charged in the future at person-to-person rates.

BIBLE SYMBOLS Used by Dr. W. A. Jackson An Up-to-Date Evangelist of Many Years' Experience. Greenfield, O.—Rev. W. A. Jackson, D. D., for years an evangelist of note and for some time a resident of Greenfield, at 432 Evans St, has the unique and instructive carefully prepared a very instructive series of bible symbols which he has been using very effectively in his work. "The employment of bible symbols is really almost a personal worker for Christ in revivals, inasmuch as they put both old and young to thinking and greatly aid in a decision for Christ and His church. Evangelists should have some accomplishments to aid in making their work more effective, and bible symbols are the 'answer', says Dr. Jackson. Dr. Henry Stone Coffin, president Union Theological Seminary, recently asked: "Has the time come for a change from 'painless' preaching to that type of pupil teaching which builds the knowledge of the kingdom of God?" Yes, bible symbols are without doubt the most accurate and definite answer, and Dr. Jackson very deflaty and successfully uses this method to drive home the Gospel. 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 deprendations 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. 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years and universal discrimination and are now 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 privilege no only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the tale of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR 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.

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 without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter.

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 dollars damnation, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damage, a 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 rejoices, and the child rejoices. If there be no widow minor 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 a part of any of his liabilities. (93 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 (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. Action or the recoveries 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 include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case.

Such guardian shall administer 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 recount costs against it in favor of the legal 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: IBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob just another county. MOBS. representatives of a 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.) A person in 938. mob carries a prisoner in 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 contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob. (93 v. 163 10.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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: Sec. 12940. However, the proprietor of a shop, keeper, manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities not less than fifty dollars or defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars to the person aggrieved in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

Nellie Harmon, age 18, E. 40th St., was charged by police, Monday, with shooting to kill George Beechum, age 61, watchman, near the Palais D'Or night club, 3214 Woodland Ave., the night of Nov. 11. Beechum died, Jan. 7. The coroner's verdict pronounced death as due to dilation of the heart rather than the heart attack. The Harmon girl, arrested in Woodland Ave. the theater by Detective Sergt. Emil Zeigler, is said to have told police that Beechum had "beaten up" her male companion for loitering in front of the Palais D'Or and that the pair had later returned, armed. The shooting then took place, she said. Safety Director Edwin D. Barry on Monday tried to defend his very questionable policy of detailing men in the woods and Apex night clubs, closed by his order, since the last of January because white and colored women mingled in them. Barry denied that the time of the six men who make up GOLLY WHISKERS, IS IT - DOES IT LOOK VERY BAD? THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1929. He Thinks His Teacher is Acrobatic. the three eight-hour shifts on this duty was being "wasted" and said: "It isn't as if they stood in front of the night clubs all the time. Each man has a small beat in the vicinity of the clubs and patrols it. Incidentally, he keeps an eye on the people in the street, greatly and sadly needed for patrol duty, particularly at night, in the Eleventh Ward. The political meeting. Tuesday evening, at Mt. Zilion Cong. church, called by former Councilman Tom Fleming, was attended by Republican organization election officials, ward leaders, precinct committeemen and workers. Mrs. Fleming presided and asked for an endorsement of the candidate (white) for member of the local board of elections. Mrs. Boston J. Prince read a resolution from our East End Women's club endorsing Fleming as a leader and speeches were made by Mrs. L. Baker, president of our Ward 1 Women's club; Mrs. Alex Bernstein, Selm Glenn, Wm.R. Green, L. O. Payne, Rev. Prince and Crable, and Tom. Six large brown bottles containing scented liquids were taken before Common Pleas Judge W. R. White of Gallipolis, sitting here by assignment, Monday, when Dorsey Wade, alleged "black magic doctor", went on trial for first-degree murder, charged with beheading "Pump" Bradbury, slain in an E. 40th St. rooming house. Police are said to have found the scented liquids in Wade's room immediately after his arrest, when he was shot by deterence officer, and then taken to the house. Wade was assisted into court by a deputy sheriff. He says one of the shots has made him a cripple for life. Wade, according to a statement he is said to have made to police, robbed Bradury of $25 and a watch and chopped off his head with an ax after beating him with an iron pipe. "A Reader" of the Cleveland News had the following in its issue of March 10, 29: "It is difficult to understand just where Ed Barry (Director of Public Safety) gets his peculiar ideas of law-enforcement. His recent closing of an East Side club simply because white and colored people congregated there is a little too high-handed to be understood, either by the white or colored people. Since when has it been a crime for a member of one race to patronize the place of business of another? It was never a crime for Chinese and Japanese to mingle with Caasians. The powers that be are mighly glad that the police are not on a certain time, even if the head of the safety department holds such drastic "jim-crow" views. If Barry is in favor of racial segregation, why doesn't he go the limit and "jim-crow-ize" the street cars, the theaters and other public or semi-public places?" The ninth annual banquet of Wisdom Chapter, No. 51, was held, Thursday, Feb. 28, from 8 to 11 P. m. at Prince Hall, E. 55th St. Seated at the guests' table were the Royal Grand Patron, Mr. Jas. Weaver; Royal Grand Lecturer, Mrs. Rena Brown; royal patrons and matrons of Queen Elizabeth, Bethel Women, Mary M. Taras and Mrs. Turpin. Timely and inspiring remarks from the above-mentioned guests were well received, Royal Patron, Mr. Chas. Willis, Wisdom Chapter, gave the invocation and Mrs. Frances Walker, grand matron of that chapter, delivered the welcome address. Mrs. Ethel Cansler and her very excellent committee interspersed a very beautiful program and pageant, while the gracious women of the chapter her lovely assistants presented a wonderful repast in Eastern Star colors. The tables are attractive with flowers and lighted candles presenting a beautiful scene, with over 100 gorgeously gowned sisters and Sir Knights in attendance. The members presented their Royal Matron, Mrs. Frances Walker, with a marvelous green silk bed. The closing ode, "When Masons Learn to Love God," the Turpin was turned the affair into a social hour. The guests left in the "wee sma' hours", wishing Wisdom Chapter many more natal days. --- Patronize Our Advertisers PROTEST! PROTEST!!

There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong.

MONEY FOR ROAD BUILDING NEEDS Greater Part of Income Derived From Motor Vehicle Tax and Gasoline. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) While the greater portion of the annual state road income is derived from motor vehicle fees and gasoline taxation, receipts from sales of state highway road and bridge bonds and from notes for 1926 and 1927 ranked third, and federal-ald appropriations fourth as sources of revenue. In 1923, 1924 and 1925, motor vehicles fees headed the list, state bond revenues were second, federal-ald funds ranked third, transferred funds from counties ranked fourth, and gasoline taxation fifth. From Sale of Bonds The latest available figures of 1927 show that 12 per cent of the state road income $79,765,258, or $80,979,230 was derived from the road of highway road and bridge bonds and from notes; 35 per cent or $259,854,786 was derived from motor vehicle fees, and slightly less than 23 per cent or $169,818,473 was derived from gasoline taxation. Federal-aid amounting to $80,459,671 formed 10 per cent of the total. Of the total county and township road income for 1927 of $849,613,923, about 21½ per cent, or $181,090,935 was derived from the sale of bonds, which is more than double the sum received by these subdivisions from motor vehicle fees and gas taxation, amounting respectively to $40,238,850 and $48,860,508. Bond revenues ranked second in the counties' total income, exceeded only by the $405,217,744 local road tax levy. Bond revenues have ranked second in the counties' annual income for several years. According to latest available figures, 31 states have an outstanding state road and bridge bond indebtedness of $800,000,000. The county and township bonded indebtedness for roads in 45 states is $893,380,000. In the recent election, Iowa, by voting an issue of $100,000,000, brought the total number of states with issues of state bonds outstanding to 32. In the fall elections, Missouri, West Virginia and Louisiana also voted additional credits of $155,000,000 to those already authorized for road and bridge improvement. All of the recent bon' issues were made possible by amendment of state constitutions. Pays Interest on Bonds. Interest on state road bonds, as well as retirement of principal, in 25 states is paid wholly or in part from either the motor vehicle fees or from gasoline taxation, and in some states from both. The Interest and principal on the Iowa state bonds will be paid by motor vehicle fees and gasoline taxation. For 1927 the states having bond issues reported a sale of $78,250,000 of state road and bridge bonds bearing an interest rate of from 3 to 5 per cent, and a sale of $194,101,000 of county bonds with an interest rate of from $4½ to 6 per cent. The average interest rate on all state road and bridge bonds sold in the past 33 years is 4.35 per cent. State road bonds were issued as early as 1894 by Massachusetts. In 1906, Rhode Island and New York adopted the plan. In 1908, Maryland joined the ranks; in 1909, California and New Hampshire floated issues; in 1911, Utah and Idaho; in 1912, New Mexico; in 1913, Maine; in 1917, Delaware and Oregon; in 1918, Louisiana; in 1919, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wyoming; in 1920, Colorado, Missouri, New Jersey and West Virginia. Parking on Down Grade Requires Real Caution Parking with safety on a downgrade involves much more than turning the wheels in toward the curb. It never is a waste of time to take the additional precautions of pulling on the parking brake and leaving the car in gear. In being content with placing the wheels so the car cannot slip, the driver frequently makes the mistake of putting merely the side of the tire against the curb. Of its own weight the car frequently works itself free. Downgrade parking is responsible for much serious damage to the car that one does not hear or read about. It pays to take no chances. An assiduous motorist reports that the most painstaking observation has convinced him that the significance of a driver protruding his hand straight out from the harbored window of his car is as follows, possibilities being given in order of their inherent likelihood: (a) Driver is shaking ash from actual cigarette. (b) Is pointing out airplane, woodchuck or humming-bird to friend wife. (c) Stretching himself. (d) Gesturing in support of oration he is making to inmates of car. (e) Shaking ash from imaginary cigarette. (f) Rubbing mosquito·bitten elbow on sill of window. (g) Resting his arm, cramped from long driving. (h) Trying to attract attention of acquaintance on roadside. (i) Relleving tickling of wrist by overlong shirt sleeve. (1) Signaling for a stop. (2) Signaling that he is about to turn around in the street. (3) Signaling that he is out of gas. (4) Signaling for left turn. (The correct signal.) If the driver is of the female persuasion, our observer says, this list must be completely revamped and rearranged. Well, anyhow, we don't believe in signs.—Detroit Saturday Night.

Large Cost of Building Federal-Aid Highway The cost of building the federal-aid highway system of the United States has been approximately 50 cents per year for every man, woman and child in the country. The amount is based on the government's expenditures of $813,993,977 for completed highways since the program was started in 1918. There have been a total of 73,119 miles of federal-aid roads completed, as of September 30, 1928, and 10,915 miles are under construction, with 2,139 miles approved for construction. AUTOMOBILE HINTS Wabbling wheels are a common all-ment in motordom. All things come to him who waits, beginning with a traffic violation ticket. The best way to be assured of receiving the courtesies of the road is to be a driver of a ten-ton truck. The construction of the proposed elevated express highway along the Hudson in New York, has had the final approval of the board of estimates. Its cost may run close to $13,500,000. It is essential to have water, oil and gas inspected before starting out on a long journey, says the National Automobile club. Also it is well to have the air pressure in all of the tires looked after. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1929. LADY WOODS & MILTON WOODS FROCKS OF DYED RAYON LACE WIELD MAGIC SWAY IN VANITY FAIR THE short-jacket costume is the idol of the hour. The fact that its styling involves two or more or many materials and as many colors appeals to the imagination of designers who are seeking new worlds to conquer. Then, too, these captivating ensembles, because of their artfulness and novelty are laying siege to the heart of the fashion-wise whose quest for "something different" is never ending. Print with plain is the outstanding idea about which all other ideas revolve. When the "print" happens to be red dotted crepe and the "plain" an unbleached wool, in the hands of genius, the result is just such a landsome costume as appears in the illustration. The skilful manner with which this dotted crepe and monotone woolen weave is interrelated is characteristic of the workings of jacket costumes in general. No wonder those who follow the trend of "clothes" have fallen in line with the jacket costume. It is limitless in matter of ideas for combining weaves and colorings, achieving as FROCKS OF DYED WIELD MAGIC SW WITH the vogue for the truly feminine becoming more and more so, it is to be expected that lace should continue to wield its magic sway in Vanity Fair. Fondness for lace is becoming that increasingly zestful, that not only is it a favored medium for evening gowns but stunning daytime jacket ensembles are done in most lovely colorful lace all-over, as well as hats and wraps and various accessory items, especially scarfs. The vogue for vivid colors has had a decided influence on modern lace. In the olden days lace kept pretty well within the range of black, white, cream and ecru, with tinted laces the exception. Lace, today in every fashionable shade adds its enchantment to the style scene. This is especially true of the new rayon all-over laces which are so smartly in vogue. These are easily available in such delightful colorings as chartreuse green, orchid, the capucine tones, bright blues, the very popular reds, and in fact any of fashion's highlighted tones and tints. One of the subtleties of the designer in handling lace as a dress medium is to play up its handsomeness by fashioning it with utmost simplicity. This oh-so-simple yet utterly sophisticated styling is charmingly stressed in the lovely lace princess frocks which have lately made their appearance in fashion's realm. The dine and dance gown in the picture is another fascinating exponent of the "studied simplicity" type. It is made of ravon lace in a soft green tone. The silhouette accents the new trend toward long slim bodices with suddin tow flares which achieve wide hemlines. Motifs formed of iridescent sequins suggest the large dot effects which are so prominent in modern decorative design. The flair for printed effects has included the realm of lace. Comes from Paris the message that lace prints are to be added to the list of all the other modish prints. As yet these printed laces are enrolled in the exclusive novelty class, but as the summer y Your Co or an Acq stunning effects with cottonts and linens as it does with fine woolens and silks. Often as many as three materials are interworked, differing even to their patternings, when all is said and done, because of a symphonic color scheme, the impression of an ensemble remains. Per example, a wool crepe jacket, a silk crepe blouse and a printed crepe skirt resolve into a unified costume, because a basic color, be it red, chartreuse, green, rose or wood violets, is featured throughout. Then again it is the colors which accomplish the contrast, rather than the material, such as a black-and-white check taffeta made up with solid black taffeta. This brings another phase of the jacket ensemble mode to mind—that of combining different patternings, such as a blouse of fine check topping a skirt of big bold plaid worn with a monotone coat so toned that in matter of color one part of the costume complements the other. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) 1920s progresses their vogue will be greatly emphasized. A charming conceit, new on the program, is the short jacket of lace blending in color to the costume with which it is worn. The ensemble idea is carried out by the same lace, in that it is stretched over the little felt hat designed to be worn with it. This idea applies to daytime mode, and for evening as well. For more formal wear a clever theater cap is fashioned of the lace. Embroidered lace also finds its way into the mode. When hand-worked, most effective and ingenious results are accomplished. In working all-over lace the selv-edge is made to serve in a finishing way, and, when cut, no attempt is made to hem the edges. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1928, Western Newspaper Union. Thirty Days' Work Crowded Into Four Days to Restore Town's Telephone Service 17 REWIRING CUYAHOGA FALLS SWITCHBOARD ORDINARILY it takes 30 days or more to install a telephone switchboard to serve even a small community. But when fire burned out the board serving 2,700 telephones in Cuyaho, Falls, near Akron, it was rebuilt in four days. Telephone officials in Akron and Cleveland, who supervised the installation, believe it is the fastest job on record for restoring service after such a serious interruption. Nearly 100 men were employed in the work, and three shifts worked night and day in the cramped quarters in front of and behind the board. Five sections of the switchboard were burned out, leaving many thousands of wires in a tangled mass. The relays, or magnetic contacts which make the connections and flash the signals, also were damaged. Millions of wires and connections had to be restored, and it was necessary to have the factory manufacture certain parts of the equipment that were not carried in stock. The fire occurred at 2:15 P. M. New Year's Day, and by nightfall engineers were dispatched to factories in Chicago and Rochester to see that the proper equipment was shipped. Some parts were rushed by airplane, while others arrived by express and truck. Experts in switchboard installation were recruited from telephone forces in Akron, Cleveland, Youngstown and other points. While the repairs were under way, the telephone company undertook to establish emergency service for the community. Public telephones were installed in another telephone building, housing the equipment, and free equipment, and free service was given to Akron over the trunk 'Round Home by CHAS.S.KINNISON Farm Memory Down on the farm again, led to go as a boy— a spell of its charm again, with a heart full of joy! are its mem'ries that call to me, my heart like a dream!

Similar service was given from the public telephones in drug stores and other public places, while large business firms, doctors and others having urgent need of service were given direct connection with Akron. Therefore, while there was no service in the residences, the town still had telephone communication with the rest of the world. Folks had to do all their talking face to face, as far as the community itself was concerned, but they could go down to the corner drug store and call other cities. Judging from their comments, they missed most of all the enjoyment of an occasional telephone chat with their neighbors, and the ability to call the grocer or tailor for delivery service. By Saturday noon, less than four days after the fire, all of the equipment was in place, and the connections were being made to thousands of wires and relays. 6:00 P.

Hon. Harry C. 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 limits of the law, to expose 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. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) "NOT THE LARGEST. BUT THE BEST!" Little Rock, Ark. June 16, '25. Hon. Harry C. Smith.
