"POOR BLEEDING HAITI" Still Being Ruthless Exploited- Natives' Home and Personal Rights Outraged With Impunity. ENFORCE THE 14TH, TOO. The Wisconsin Assembly Passes a Resolution Asking Congress to Appropriate Funds to Do So. Madison, Wis.—The State Assembly passed a resolution, last week Thursday, asking Congress to appropriate as much money for the enforcement of the 14th amendment to the U. S. Constitution as it has for the enforcement of the 18th amendment. The 14th provides that all persons born or naturalized in the U. S. are entitled to all the rights of citizenship, the voting privilege. The second section provides that when the right to vote is denied to any persons within a state, the representation of that state in Congress shall be reduced proportionately. The resolution declared that "due to such violation of said section of the U. S. Constitution, sufficient votes were mustered in Congress to pass over President Wilson's veto the so-called Volstead act." HAWKINS TO HOOVER! Washington, D. C. — Protection against unfair treatment and the granting of equal opportunity were asked for the Afro-American of President Herbert Hoover shortly before his inauguration, by Dr. John R. Hawkins, financier, who directed Republican campaign work among our voters, last fall. The memorandum to Mr. Hoover was made public, last week Wednesday. Mr. Hawkins declared that equal opportunity under the Government had not been accorded to all groups of American citizens. He cited disfranchisement, elimination of the Afro-American from the councils of the Republican party, discrimination, in the civil service and segregation in the Government departments as examples of the denial of equal opportunity to our people. CHURCH AFTER SCOTT, MOTON AND DR. HAWKINS Washington, D. C.—Current political rumor has it that Bob Church of Tennessee is to renew his fight against what he has termed "voteless leadership." It is understood that he is ready to wage a battle to the bitter end against Dr. Emmett Dr. R. R. Moton. J. Scott, Dr. John R. Hawkins and Dr. Robert R. Motion, who were active in the campaign of 1928. His fight against them will be a continuation of the clash which was begun when they were selected, last fall, to direct the Republican campaign among our voters. Mr. Church charges that none of them is a qualified voter. PASTOR SHOT AND KILLED Member of His Congregation Who Opposed Him—The Pair Had Had a Fight. Youngstown, O.—As Otto Campbell, age 28, died in a hospital, last Saturday afternoon, of a bullet wound, Police Chief J. J. McNicholas filed a murder charge against the Rev. M. Rhodes, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, this city, who is still in jail in connection with the shooting. Before he left home, Saturday, Rhodes donned his hunting outfit and took his shotgun. On N. Prospect St., he saw Camellia who had been shot in the back of the metal months, leaving a drug store. Elevating the shotgun, Rhodes shot at Campbell's legs, he says. Another charge hit Campbell in the abdomen. He died at City hospital at 1 p.m. Saturday's clash was not the first between the pastor and Campbell. Three weeks ago, they met on the street and had a first fight which ended with knife wielding. Both were charged with disobeying the peace. At that time, according to police, Rhodes fashed a toy pistol on his opponent. Rhodes came here from Chicago in 1927. His church is one of our largest in this city. MARRIES HUNGARIAN HEIRESS. Budapest, March 12.—Much comment has been caused here in American circles by the marriage, today, of Miss Edith von Greiner, age 20, daughter of the wealthy Hungarian retired ministerial councillor, Dr Edouard von Greiner, to John Shuttlehand, an Afro-American, described as a land-owner in Minnesota. The newspapers say the girl met her fiance first at the Sorbonne, in Paris, where she was taking a course in French. The girl's parents readily gave their consent to the wedding, nor does local society see anything objectionable in the union. Shuttlehand came here in a chartered airplane. They were married at a fashionable church in Budapest and left for the United States on their hourmoon. Senegalese Soldiers May Senegalese Soldiers' Monument. Dakar, Senegal, Africa.—In the presence of the Governor-General, M. Magnetet, Deputy M. Blaise Diagne, and many native chiefs, a splendid monument was unveiled here, last week, in honor of the Senegalese soldiers who fell in the World War. One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers from Senegal fought for France. The Senegalese fought because they told them that their lands, and the peace and prosperity that France brought them, would have been the first to go had France lost," said M. Diagne. "France" said M. Magnetet, "makes no distinction between her children, no matter what their color may be." Segregation at Ohio Reform School. Lancaster, O.—Delinquent "Negro" youths who are committed to the "Boy's School," located six miles from here are segregated. They are not allowed to live with the white boys. There are two sections where there are "Negro" boys only, one for those from eight to fourteen, and the other, from fourteen up. These boys are forced to eat in a separate section of the dining room, and everything is done to humiliate them. The white youths are warned not to mix with them. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN POLICY OF N.A.A.C.P. BOARD STRUCK IN THE BACK FROM WITHIN, HE RETALIATES. Grimke Regime Also Opposed Association's Policy—No Branch Even in Harlem—Secretary Johnson's Vacation With Pay, Etc. Washington, D. C.—Just before leaving for France, recently, in an effort to improve his health, Prof. Neval Thomas, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, denied any apology for or retraction of charges made against N. A. A. C. P. officials at a recent national board meeting, Report of such a retraction was carried in the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American and other race papers as an A. N. P. dispatch. Mr. Thomas' statement: Johnson's Major Failure. "Another long-standing grievance is the unwillingness, or inability of our secretary to organize a branch and a following in Greater New York. In Harlem, where we have the greatest "Negro" urban popula- "Your release of last week relative to my long standing disagreement with several of the N. A. A. C. P. officers in New York does me such an injustice that I am forced to ask you to give equal publicity to this reply. Some board member, or some officer has brought this board matter to the press, thus forcing me to give the truth of what took place in the meeting. There were but seven members of the board present, out of a total of forty who make up the national board. One of these was John B. Nail, a brother-in-law of James Weldon Johnson, whom Mr. Johnson selected for the board. Several others were Mr. Johnson's selections to the board who drop in to meetings now and then when the secretary needs their vote. Segregation Fight. "Although Secretary Johnson had dodged our long and bitter segregation fight here for which the race is paying him a lucrative salary, and liberal 'expenses', the fight was left to a few of us — Robert J. Nelson, director of the Civil Liberties Union of the Elks; Thomas A. Johnson of the National Equal Rights League, and Secretary A. S. Pinkett, of the Washington, D. C., N. A. A. C. P. branch. We scored victory after victory, with the hard labor of the lobby and numerous investigations, until the board instructed James Weldon Johnson to take up the fight and aid us. Mr. Johnson did not even know where segregation existed. He wrote me for a letter, asking me to name the places in the Government where segregation existed, which I did. Board Good to Johnson. Board Good to Johnson. "Our Association here at the Capital passed, by unanimous vote, a resolution asking the New York N. A. A. C. P. office to get into the fight. Instead, the national secretary went to Los Angeles; had six members of the board hold a rump meeting, and condemn our branch, and vote him a three-month vacation when policy opposed the wasteful policy of taking everyone or eight people from the New York office across this continent to Los Angeles, when the service of most of them was simply to make a speech, which they do at every convention. I held, and hold, that the branches which contact with the people, and collect small fees from the poor, are interested in race rights, and not in the luxuries, ease and rich emoluments of our secretary. HAMPTON'S CHOIR Scores Big at the "Hub"—Its Director, Prof. R. N. Dett, Also Highly Praised. Boston, Mass—Again, last week, this time in Symphony Hall, R. Nathaniel Dett's Happiness Choir was received with enthusiasm by an audience that completely filled the auditorium and insisted upon repetition of number after number. The singers, about sixty young men and women, were heard in a program including 15th and 16th century church music, modern Russian anthems, church music by modern American composers and a number of compositions written by their conductor, in which "Negro" melodies and idioms are used contra-puntally after the manner of the earlier centuries of Western music. "No chorus heard here in recent years," the Boston Globe says, "has sung with subtler or finer artistry than the Hampton Institute chorus showed, yesterday. These singers are not merely a group of Negroes with fine voices singing their own "spirituals" and folk music. There were none of the familiar Negro pieces on yesterday's Program chorus, like Roland Hayes, must be judged with no thought of race distinctions. It can take rank of right among the leading choruses in the world." THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation in Ohio, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in this or any other country. It immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. E COPY FIVE CENTS RANGE! A. A. C. P.

I might go on indefinitely, but, suffice it to say, that our fighting unit here at the capital has been in constant disagreement with Secretary Johnson—in the administration of the devoted Archibald H. Grimke, and in the present one. It was board matter though, and the member or officer who sent you the release reflecting upon my administration, missing facts, forces, and self-defense, and the giving out of this meagre portion of a long disagreement. Neval Stands His Ground. "I have no apology to make to any of those who attack the record of this branch or its administration. Certainly, those who pioneered this great work in an unpopular day, and have helped for the sheer love of the service, are able to go before public opinion with those who carry us there with their record of money-making on both sides of this eternal question, the conservative and the radical, regret sincerely that some insider burrowed this untemptful and sinister attack upon us to the public as it necessitates an explanation that I have always hoped to "escape." GUEST-CONDUCTOR Of a Great Symphony Club Orchestra of One Hundred Musicists Philadelphia, Pa.—Aaron Harrison was for three seasons a first trombone player in the local Symphony Club Orchestra which contains one hundred musicians. There are now two Afro-American members, one a pupil of Mr. Harrison who discontinued playing professionally, some months ago, to open a studio at 623 St. John's this city. Recently, he was guest-starred in orchestra while it performed one of his compositions, "Spiritual Fantasia," which contains twelve "Negro" spirituals. In 1927, Mr. Harrison composed an "Ode to Lincoln," his first concert overture for band. He is author of a number of smaller compositions, vocal and instrumental. Goes to Rendville. Greenville, O.—Rev. W. A. Jackson, the well-known evangelist of Evans St., this city, has just received a call to conduct a ten day evangelistic campaign at the Rendville A. M. E. church, beginning, April 1. Dr. Jackson is an exceptionally successful gospel preacher, never failing to hold the undivided attention of his hearers. His bible symbols are wonderful help and he is the only one, so far as we know, using them. We heartily commend Dr. Jackson. rear i ee it PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) z Que Year ..............+25- $2.00 Six onthe 2202000000000 L00 Subseribets are requested to remit by postoffice ‘money order or resistered lever, Entered at the poptotice in.

DE BOW DENIES IT. Rev. Charles L. DeBow never ad- vocated the closing of the Apex night club of the third precinct, because white and colored women or others mingled there, he told a Jarge audi- ence at Cory M. E. church, in an ad- dress, Monday night. Dr. DeBow, who started police on an alleged “eleanup campaign”, several weeks ago, with a sermon at First M. E. ehureh, Euclid Ave. and E. 30th St., of which he is pastor, declared good citizenship has nothing to do with race and that the problems of right- eousness, decency, honesty and mor- ality face all races. Director Ed. Barry refused to deny, on several occasions, once in the City Council, that he said what Dr. DeBow denies having said or advocated. So hold Barry responsible for that foolish statement until he denies having made it. He was quoted in the dail) newspapers at the time as having done so and has never denied say- ing it. —1ii— “OLTY HOSPITAL” HOPKINS. Wednesday's Cleveland Plain Deal- er said: - “City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins stood by the pulpit of Cory M. E. ebureh at Scovill Ave. and E. 35th St., last night, and looked down at the group which had just applauded him. He had come to pay the re- spects of the city in connection with the 50th anniversary of the church, and he walked right into a love feast”. Can you imagine representatives of any other class of people receiv- ing “with open arms” a man who in- sults and discriminates against them 0 unfairly and unjustly as Hopkins does our people in the case of the City Hospital alone? Rev. S. E. Grannum, pastor, and certain mem- bers of Cory M. E. church should hang their heads in shame! The very idea of inviting to their 50th anni- yersary celebration and “love feast” a man who as City Manager refuses to permit thelr boys only to interne and thelr girls only to enter the school for nurses at City Hospital be- cause of their color or race connec- tion! It is enough to bring down upon them the wrath of a just Gdd, tet alone that of all of the loyal, race and self respecting Afro-Americans in this community and the country. Whither are we drifting? And after Hopkins had completed his address, Councilman Russell S. Brown spoke highly of him. Lord, have mercy! THAT MEMORIAL BUILDING. ‘A wrong impression has been made, generally, thruout the country by articles, sent out from Washing- ton, D. C., in the last few weeks, to the effect that the recent Congress in passing “‘a joint resolution to cre- ate a commission to secure plans and designs for and to erect a memorial building for the National Memorial Asnociation, Inc., in the city of Wash- ington, as a tribute to the ‘Negro’s’ contribution to the achievements of America”, and appropriating “$50,- 600 to assist im carrying out the plans”, had provided for or intended to provide for such a building. ‘This is NOT the case.

SLAUGHTER PENS OF HUMAN BEINGS Cry for Grade Separations Apparent Immediate Need for Safety. The cry for grade separations as an apparent immediate need for a decrease in railroad crossing accidents has been taken up by practically every civic, safety and kindred organization within the past few days, according to a bulletin issued by the safety division of the Automobile Club of Illinois. Ten persons killed within a week in the Chicago area alone, not including injured or malmed is the terrible toll extracted by the present skull and cross-bones unprotected crossing system. Come to Full Stop. Death stalks upon every motorist who attempts an unprotected crossing without first coming to a complete stop before entering upon the railroad right-of-way. Every effort is being made for the protection of the motorist and pedestrian. "Wider highways are taking form, safety beacons and lights are being installed at precarious intersections, safety means promulgated by various agencies, still unprotected railway crossings continue to chalk up death after death on its mortuary score board," declared Sl Mayer, president of the club. It is high time that the various municipalities band themselves together and demand "safety" at crossings. How much longer will they continue to be the slaughtering pen for humans? "Grade Separations Now, Not Later," should be the slogan of activity everywhere. "Passing the buck" as to responsibility has become a national sport and pastime among certain folks. If extra taxation is needed to help defray part of the expense of grade separation construction, the railroads will find little or no opposition to their plan. What city, town or village wouldn't be glad to contribute to the safety of a life? Surely the time has come when the loss of life ought to make some impression with the many so-called safety committees and life-saving organizations. Little Done to Relieve. More than ten years have elapsed since the cry of grade separations was first heard. Since then little has been done in effecting means to relieve the most hazardous of hazards. Evanson, Ill, demanded the raising of tracks years ago and nothing more is ever heard of level-crossing fatalities in that community, but other crossings of the country are working overtime making up for what good has been accomplished thus far. Demand them, get your local leaders interested in grade separations. Keep on fighting for them. What more humanitarian spirit could prevail than that of saving lives? Don't just stand by and see bodies ground to death, lives juggled as if a mere bag of shells, homes made fatherless, motherless and even destitute because of this existing menace. Grade separations must come sooner or later. Magistrate Calls Slow Poke Driver Reckless The motorist who "pokes" along the road is reckless in that he is heedless, declared Magistrate Alva A. Lankin of the Traffic court in Baltimore. "Drivers of this type are generally those who have just secured their operator's card or have a new car which they are breaking in. "Then we have the seasoned or experienced driver, but one who is afraid. He will cause the regular driver to cut a lot of capers, as the driver who is timid usually makes queer moves. "He evidently has his mind on one objective and when the second thought occurs to him he acts impulsively and spontaneously and the driver behind him is obliged to shuffle for himself. This may be done without accident, while on the other hand it may result in a serious accident." British Traffic Safety When the British undertake to deal with a puzzling situation by law, they can be expected to be very thorough about it. The British parliament is now considering a bill designed to reduce traffic accidents. It goes much further than any law the United States has yet considered, says the Muncie Evening Press. To begin with it, would license all drivers, make revocation of a license mandatory on conviction of careless driving and compel every autolist to carry liability insurance. It would install mechanical governors on all autos to keep them from exceeding the speed limit. It would borrow from the rules of navigation a provision requiring any driver, when he sees any danger of a collision, to stop his car at once. These are drastic measures. The British don't do things by halves. Pulling Trucks Out of Mud Holes Made Easy On a job in Central America, where a number of self-dumping trucks were used, some of the drivers have a novel and effective method of getting them- selves out of mud holes. They merely let the power of the hoist of the truck do the work. The dump body over- hangs the rear point of support so that when the front part of the body Novel Method of Raising Self-Dumping Trucks Out of Mud Holes. is raised for dumping, the rear end goes downward. Taking advantage of this, the drivers put timber struts under the body as indicated in the drawing. The body, bearing down on the struts, thrusts the wheels out of the mud, permitting the drivers to lay planks under them.—R. C. Hardman, San Jose, Costa Rica, in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. AUTOMOBILE FACTS Old friends are the best except in the case of an automobile of 1920 vintage. If the world isn't wondering where it can find parking space it is wondering what becomes of all the used cars. Collegiate yellow roadsters are out of place in Japan. Yellow, being the mourning color in that country, is not used on automobiles. New York is tightening up its traffic ordinances, but it is noted that the Jaywalker is to be treated leniently, in deference, no doubt, to the local inhabitant. A handy adjunct of the home garage is a battery carrier made from a piece of strip metal fashioned into a "U" shape, with the ends upturned to catch under the handles of the battery. Unequal tire pressures mean un equal brakes. Unequal braking fric tion means a skid in many cases. The motorist interested in safe bad weather er car operation will remember this point. The popularity of the closed car is blamed for putting two big factories of fur-lined gloves out of business. The management can now commiserate with manufacturers of horse collars. LIGHT COATS DETAILED WITH COLOR ANSWER TO CALL FOR CONTRAST PIQUANT EXC THE WOOL COAT NEW MOUNTINGS DISTINGUISH THE MODERN FUR NECKPIECE THE separate fur neckpiece has come into its own. With furless oats and one-piece lightweight woolen street frocks heralded for spring, the COLOR contrast and fabric contrast are two controlling elements in apparel design for spring. Sometimes it is the one, sometimes the other and often both fabric and color contrasts occur at the same time. One sees the two-fabric and the two-color contrast theme interpreted by the milliner who works felt with straw, or either of these with a different fabric, playing up just now plaids and checks and other scarf sliks, or not if silk then gay cotton or linen prints or fanciful woolen weaves—all of which go to make up the much-talked-of hat and scarf sets. In the case of the blouse contrast is again the goal—two colors of jersey, a light and a dark tone, or print with plain and so on. No style item is more loudly heralded than that of white with a touch of color. A white jersey or crepe blouse is piped, perhaps, with chartreuse green or very likely bright red, for red-and-white is a combination much exploited. Not alone as to hats and the blouse, but coats and frocks—in fact in its every phase does fashion emphasize NEW MOUNTINGS D THE MODE THE separate fur neckpiece has some into its own. With furless conts and one-piece lightweight woolen street frocks heralded for spring, the fur scarf or choker becomes a necessary luxury. One is by no means obliged to select from a few conventional types. Judging from the fascinating collections on display, the fur neckpiece is about to play a role as versatile as the gay silken scarf has been staging this many a season. In fact some of the most intriguing furs take the triangle or kerrich form. Of course in this event the pelts are the thin fabriclike sort, such as gulyak, shaved lamb and baby carcul. They are tremendously smart and exclusive, too—these thin supple furms made into throw scarfs or thy capel let effects which tie in front, also detachable collarls which finish with a cavat bow. It's a taking idea—this of a removable fur collar—and is a strong argument in favor of buying a furless coat for spring. With a detachable collar the coat is tuned to the early chilly midseason days and when warmier weather comes unsnip the collar and there you have it—a seasonable practical summer wrap. Between the ever handsome single-skin fox and the multi-skin choker of sable or marten there is considerable rivalry this season. The variety of new mountings makes the new chokers almost irresistible. In the picture Barbara Kent, one of screenland's favorite daughters, demonstrates the effectiveness of a multi skin choker with the sleeveless mode. The individual notes acquired by the scarfs illustrated typify the new trend y Your Co or an Acq the contrast theme. The coats in the picture happily interpret contrast both in matter of color and fabric. The model to the right employs diamond-shaped insets of cloth of a different color, also bordering the revers and sleeves with the contrasting weave. The coat to the left is interesting not only because of its contrast trimming, but the fact that it is double-breasted is significant. Double-breast fastenings are again in fashion. Very smart mode calls for double-breast unfurred coats plentifully stitched, some with cape collars, of colorful cloth, for coats this season take on new character because of their colorfulness. Short jackets of flannel either plair or blazer-striped or of velvetteen are fashioned with the popular double-breast openings. Going back to the coats pictured with them it becomes a simple matter to carry out the ensemble idea through selecting one's coat of light woolen or silk to match the coloring of the cloth trimnings on the coat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (© 1929, Newspaper Union.) ISTINGUISH RN FUR NECKPIECE in arrangement of marten and sable scarfs. In very luxurious models as many as twelve sable skins are inter-worked, although the majority are styled with from two to five skins. Single-skin fox pieces are not out rivaled by the season's novelties. Advance spring models highlight them in a wide color range in silver, cross and pointed varieties, also the white fox scarf loses none of its prestige. The beauty of the new fox pieces is that they are tuned to become an integral part of the ensemble costume. That is, they are dyed to blend into the picture. If a scarf does not carry the leading tone-color of the hat, then it takes its cue for color from the material of the frock, or perhaps it matches pocketbook and gloves. The flat for black and white which is so apparent in early spring modes. brings white fox into the dimelight. With the new black and white hats which are so chic white fox comes into pretty play.

It has arrived according to promise. This time there is no uncertainty, which cannot be said of seasons past when felts succeeded in holding the fort against the incoming of straws. The new straw hats are every thing the y should be for early spring wear. Just tailored enough to please the most discriminant just enough of the dainty female to appeal to those who seek the most flattering Strains have taken their cure from felts and are glorifying color all along the line. In fact they have borrowed the very selfsame smart shades which contribute so notably to the success of the felt hat. A smooth linenlike straw in chintzeeuse is indeed whisome. No more so than a bright red bangkok or ballibunti however. Strains are irresistible in the bright blues. The three leaders are easily distin-gushed in black, mavy and natural. Concerning straws in natural color they promise to be the rage. With piquant pipings they are at their best. The softness of such straws as sisal bakon, ballibunti, bangkok, and other exotic types makes it possible to treat them like fabric or felt. Wherefore the new straws are very much seemed and joined in sections and shilat FINE WOOLENS FOR IS STYLE M "A LL wool and a "yard wide" is still the slogan for the superfine woolens of which many of milady's choice frocks are now styled, but, technically speaking, it is no longer correct. Perhaps all wool and weighing five ounces or less to the yard more accurately describes many of the very modern woolen weaves, for some of the newer woolens are quite that exquisitely sheer and lightsome. As a matter of fact, woolens as now are vary from twenty-seven to fifty-four inches in width. Challis and flannels, for instance, are frequently but twenty-seven inches wide, while nuvolaque, a material very much like challis, measures fifty-four inches in width. Now that Paris is sponsoring wool frocks so enthusiastically and American woolen weavers are putting a style value on their products to the extent that they are planning to stage in the very near future a competitive display of their products in an exhibit which very appropriately is referred to as "Pagent of the Golden Fleece." we are waking up to the virtues of the woolen frock as well as to its prestige among fashion connoisseurs. Verily little Bo-Peep's sheep would never recognize their lost coats in the wondrous fabrics man, the miracle worker, has fashioned from them. Prints are as beugling and as popular as they are in silks and cottons. The new woolens with borders in a deep shade of the same color or in sharp contrast are also very beautiful. Metallic effects with the metal motifs woven into the cloth, the backs presenting a surface of gold or silver are something at which to marvel. Then GAZETTE who might Su treatments, and for this reason they invite neat finishings such as pipings in contrast colorings afford. In the brilliant program mapped out for straws this season the first numbers are smartly tailored after the manner of those pictured in this group. Their play is on color rather than fanciful detail. A contrasting piping of navy grosgrain gives tone to the natural colored soft straw shape at the top. The bow at the side is lined with the navy. More and more brims show a tendency to turn off the face. The model to the left is typical of the new trend. In the oval to the right one sees how adaptable to manipulation are the new soft straws. Several leading French modifiers are trimming straw with velvet. The tustuous black ballastlite) cheek shows below adopts a touch of velvet and a glistening ornament. JULIA BOTTOMLEY © 1922 Western Newspaper Group.) R FINE FROCKS MESSAGE FOR SPRING there are candy stripes, two tone stripes, and stripes almost invisible, also tweeds, jerseys, and still the list goes on and on and infinitum. The fetching two-piece frock of featherweight channel in a sports model, shown in the picture, emphasizes the vogue for contrast of print and plain. The jumper is of beige flannel printed in a design repeating the bright navy of the skirt. Diagonal bands of the navy pose across the front of the blouse, also belting, cutting and collaring it. Early showings include fetching cape ensembles which interwork sheer printed woolens and solid-tone woolen georgette. Those appearing for early spring favor tiny repeat patterns which reminis one of the popular cavat silks. In the developing of these arresting costumes, much attention is paid to color harmony. While the print may involve any number of colors, its background accurately matches the solid tone with which it is used. It adds very much to their desirable ness that the new woolens are created from the standpoint of ensemble effec- tics, making it easy to match plain with prints so far as basic color is concerned.

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.
