Hunt, so favorably known in Cleveland, O., where his son and namesake is located, is principal is making exceptional progress these days. Its outstanding indication of this fact is "Ohio Hall", the new boys' dormitory which is being hurried to completion.

A GREAT THE GREAT A&P TEA CO A&P FRESH MEATS Manager C It is with no small degree of pride that "The Old Reliable" Gazette gives space to the above picture of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company's newest delux store, located on the southwest corner of E. 49th St. and Central Ave., which had its formal opening, last Saturday, to crowds that filled the beautiful place of business, and all available space on sidewalk and street in front of it, until late in the evening. It's floorspace is that of two large stores which had been newly and thorouly renovated and filled with a complete line of fancy and staple groceries, meats, fish, etc. To care for the throngs of customers, Saturday evening there were eight of our girls, several butchers, one a member of the race; in addition to several officers of the company. Behind all this is an interesting story of the life of a Cleveland "boy," an Afro-American employee of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., and that person George A.

New York City. — The article printed below is a translation from the Yiddish, as it appeared, last week Monday, in one of the local Jewish papers: "COLORED JEWS" SING THE "HATIVAT" AT THE DEDICATION OF THEIR NEW SYNGAGOUE IN HARLEM. "Prince Nusa Amoa of the Gold Coast participates in the opening ceremonies." Prayer was made in Hebrew.

"At 4 o'clock on Sunday, the celebration began. The 'Suh' was packed with colored Jews and a good sprinkling of white Jews. Entrance fee was $1 a ticket. Men and women were separated in the Jews' orthodox form. The program was excellent, the music splendid and the speeches were wonderfully intelligent, and full of wisdom. There was to the Maimonite evening mass, an impressive effervescence so solemn that it is in the white synagogues. It was in the full Hebrew formula. "The celebration commenced with the 'Hazkora'—commemoration of the dead—with innumerable candles burning for the dead souls. Their Rabbi Ford performed the doxology, Prince Amoa, whose land is under the sovereignty of England, and is here on a visiting tour, was dressed in rich-colored uniform; he spoke in good style and was very interesting. He called to the people for the rejuvenation of Africa, for the self-education of the Negro, and the fostering of education for Africa". NOTHING MORE DELIGHTFUL Than Lake Travel on the Palatine Line During Summer Months Lake travel between Cleveland and Buffalo will probably start about April 15, according to P. J. Swartz, general manager, The C. & B. Transit Co., with steamers leaving each way, every night at 9 p. m., arriving at the opposite terminus at 7:30 a.m. All of the palatial steamers of the line have undergone their annual house cleaning and renovating and are more attractively equipped than ever before. Another added attraction will be the fine orchestra on the great ship, "SEEANDBEE", which will give a concert every evening, followed by dancing in the main dining room.

For twenty-three years, George Sisco has served this company satisfactorily in its various departments; always honest, energetic, dependable and courteous to everyone he came in contact with.

From that date to last Saturday, the receipts of that store were doubled and too in spite of the joke "Coolidge good times." "That settled it", as far as the management of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. was concerned, for it decided, and did so quickly, that if Manager George Sisco could win such success as that in so short a time, he should have one of its delux stores, because it would mean a great deal to them as well as be deserved recognition of his splendid service to the company. Therefore, the beautiful store, Stanley at 4 p. m., arriving in Cleveland at 9:30 p. m. This division will operate from June 29 to Sept. 8.

The Cleveland boxing commission Tuesday gave its approval of the matching of Tommy Freeman (white) of Arkansas and "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, welterweights, for the main bout of Matt Hinkel's fight-show in public hall, Tuesday night. They are scheduled to go 12-rounds. In their previous meeting, a couple of years ago, Jones floored Freeman three times and should have knocked out him. The defeat stung the southside to "too much" in the show and as has no other setback he has ever received. He returned to his Hot Springs home to build himself up for a return bout and will get it, Tuesday night. "Gorilla" has improved greatly since their last battle and is expected to give Tommy another lacing. "Baby" Joe Gans Trims Wagner. New York City. — "Baby" Joe Gans, California welterweight, scored a knockout over Eddie "Kid" Wagner (white) of Philadelphia, in the sixth round of their ten-round main bout at the Olympia Arena, Saturday night. Gans had an easy time all the way, sending the Philadelphian to the floor for counts in the first round and once more in the third. A fourth knockdown came at the end of the fifth frame and although Wagner was able to answer the bell at the start of the sixth he was in no condition to continue and the referee stepped in after a short time. Gans weighed 140 pounds, Wagner 136½. The proprietor of the Apex Club, E. 49th St., before it was closed, is quoted as saying that Director Barry told him, over the 'phone, that he could open and run the club again, provided he barred white people. To this he would not agree because it is contrary to Ohio law. It is presumed that Harry C. Quander, who received this in order to do so, that what Barry evidently calls conducting the club in an "orderly fashion."

The following poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar was found by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, among the effects of his aunt, the late Miss Olivia Egleston Phelps Stokes, who together with her sister, contributed liberally to the erection of Dorothy hall, and other buildings of the institute. The poem was published in the hall, April 23, 1901. The original manuscript is to be framed and placed in the hall. DEDICATORY POEM. Not to the midnight of the gloomy past Do we revert today. We look upon The golden present and the future vast Whose vistas show us visions of the dawn. Nor shall the sorrows of departed years The sweetness of our tranquil souls annoy. The sunshine of our hope dispels the tears And clears our eyes to see this later joy. Not ever in the years that God hath given Have we gone friendless down the thorny.way. Always the clouds of pregnant black were riven By flashes from His own Eternal Day. The women of a race should be its pride; We glory in the strength our mothers had. We glory that this strength was not denied— To labor bravely, nobly and be glad. God give to these within this temple here Clear vision of the dignity of toil. That virtue in them may her blossoms rear Unspotted, fragrant from the lowly soil. God bless the givers for their noble deed, Shine on them with the mercy of thy face. Who come with open hearts to help and speed. The striving women of a struggling race. —Paul Lawrence Dunbar. —The Tuskegee (Ala.) Messenger. Mrs. Walter B.

SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929. AFTER HOPKINS! City Manager Will Hopkins was asked for a report on the facilities and opportunities for nurses and physicians to obtain training at City Hospital in a resolution adopted by the City Council. Monday night, Councilman Russell S. Brown introduced the measure and requested immediate action. He said he desired speed so that the Council could have the information at an early date. That's a good start, Dr. Brown. Only see that you get the report asked for "at an early date". Hopkins is a "shifty" individual you will have to watch and keep right"on his heels". It is said that Councilman George "is with you" in this effort. So are we and many many others. POOR POLITICS. President Hoover insists upon "illy-white" leadership in South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi. He might have insisted upon better Afro-American Republican leaders in those states, at least in Georgia and Mississippi. We do not understand that South Carolina has "Colored" leadership. As a matter of fact, it has not. However, the President will learn to his sorrow, and that of the party, in 1932 that his South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi "illy-white" leaders will not be able to hold in the party the thousands of Afro-American voters here in the North who will surely resent his drawing that southern political color-line. And they are not a bit concerned over the future political fortunes of Georgia's and Mississippi's present "Negro" leaders, either. This latest political move of the President, if the daily newspaper reports be true, means that the Republican party is going to lose the electoral votes of at least several northern states in 1932 it has been depending upon and this will mean defeat because the solid Democrat South will return at that time. The Democratic party will not re-nominate Al Smith or nominate any other candidate in 1932 who will raise the religious question or the wet and dry issue in anything like the way Al did. As we have said repeatedly in the past, it sure seems as if the ku klux klan and the "illy-white" "are in the saddle" with the Hoover administration which means the leadership of the Republican party. APPOINTS NEW TRUSTEES. Ohio's "color-line" governor, Myers Y. Cooper, of Cincinnati has appointed the following new trustees of the State (Combined Normal and Industrial) Department of Wilberforce University: Robert Barcus of Columbus, to June 30, '32; Jennie Porter of Cincinnati, to June 30, '33; and Rev. Russell S. Brown of Cleveland, to June 30, '34. Barcus is head of our K. P. state lodge and is held responsible by our people for leasing the new theater in our state K. P. headquarters at Columbus to a white individual who operates a chain of movie theaters in that city in most or nearly all of which he, contrary to state law, draws a color-line. Miss Porter is more responsible for the "jim-crow" conditions existing in the "public" schools of Cincinnati than any other one person in that city, according to our organ there, the Cincinnati Union, W. P. Dabney, editor. Rev. Brown's principal offense since coming to Cleveland seems to be his support, last fall, of the Republican color-line candidate for governor, Myers Y. Cooper, in the face of those Cincinnati ladies of the race's publication of his miserable treatment of them after they had purchased their home and all PIDJA SEE TUBBY? HE'S ALL CRIPPLED UP FROM FIGHTIN' A TIGER TIGER? YOU'RE CUCKOO HE COULDN'T FIGHT A TIGER because of their color or race-connection, or both. Cooper tried to force them out of their home in various ways. He was in the real estate business there, and had been for many years. The "jim-crow" Negro is surely the bane of the race. And Gov. Cooper is "running true to form" when he selects Barcus and Porter, and mayhap Brown, for appointment to anything. Lord, have mercy! When Councilman Russel S. Brown brot up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council last week, to open City Hospital to our girls, desiring to become trained nurses, and to our internes, Councilman Gregg objected to it saying that it was not time to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution, and that the same objection held good in the case of our internes who desire to train at City Hospital. What do you think of that? Our boys and girls have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this city for more than fifty years. Brown is also alleged to have said that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated on the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. It is also said that City Manager Will Hopkins has promised Gregg the old babies' dispensary building in E. 373th St. for a "jim crow" hospital and to appoint him to head it. More reason that Hopkins, the present plan of local government and Gregg be voted out just as soon as possible, this year. But what do you think of Gregg?

Dear Harry: —I am enjoying the precious things for which you have fought a half century —nurestricted freedom! It goes without saying then that I am not in my own country.

It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITION "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. 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 it, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when 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, a long life to you and The Gazette.

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 CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated and subjugated by discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and 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 title of their race to equal liberty, and forever reserve 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. 6278.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and in re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 1) Section 6282- The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000. Images for such unlawful killing. Sum sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be a part of any of his liabilities. (83 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.) Action for 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 such county, shall be feeding taxable to such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian, such guardian shall administer such funds, the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery.

The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover damages, judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT YOU FIGHTIN' A TIGER? very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching 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.) Section 48.5.8 mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162 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 enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; the governor of Ohio, Sec. 12948 Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable allike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations will enjoyment of the accommodations, ties or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the persecutor 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!

FIRST NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW Held Twenty-Eight Years Ago at Madison Square Garden, New York. Recalling the first National Automobile show, held 28 years ago at Madison Square Garden, New York, Frank N. Nutt, prominent in engineering circles, and who every year has attended a national show, recites some interesting reminiscences. To quote Mr. Nutt: "The first show was held November 3 to 10, 1990. Thirty-one different makes of cars were shown. Eight were steam driven, eight electric and fifteen by gasoline motors. Twelve of the fifteen gasoline cars were fitted with single cylinder motors, two with two cylinders and one had three cylinders. "Out of the thirty-one makes of cars then on display only four are still being made. "Power plants with one or two exceptions were located inside of the body and under the front or rear seat. Steering Wheel Not Favored." "The steering wheel made its appearance on one or two cars, one commentator saying editorially, 'A few have adopted that foreign freak, the wheel, which is inconvenient and complicated and cannot compare with the lever.'" "The show, which was sponsored by the Automobile Club of America, was an unqualified success, and the club came in for a lot of praise for the efficient manner in which it handled 'New York's first real automobile show.'" "One publication contrasted the exhibition with the 'face held in 1899 when a dozen vehicles were gathered together and palmed off as an automobile show, at which vigilant guards prevented visitors from kneeling to look under the carriages—and promptly sent away anyone exhibiting too much intelligent curiosity." "In addition to viewing the cars the visitors were treated to test demonstrations in the garden. These tests were designed to show that the cars would run and could be steered and stopped. Car Specifications. "It is interesting now to recall some of the specifications of cars at the 1000 show. Here are a few: "Tops—mostly none; some canopy, Fenders, or mudguards—metal frame with patent leather sewed over the frame. Windshield—none; used goggles. Steering gear—stick or lever; one or two had wheels. Springs—full elliptic or long semi-elliptic. Lamps—kerosene; carbide with gas and water tank a part of the lamp; electric on electrics. Drive—chain. Signal—mechanical and electric bells. Ignition—make and break; one or two with jump spark. Instruments—no speedometers, ammeters nor gauges." Short Circuits Cause Internal short circuits cause sudden failure of a storage battery, but not every sudden failure of a battery is the result of a short circuit. How can a motorist tell if short circuiting has been the cause? This is the natural question that immediately comes to mind. The story is told in the process of recharging the battery. After the cells have been on charge for 12 hours or so the trick is to feel the battery posts to note whether they are warm or cold. If you find one that's warm the indications are that there is a short circuit in the particular cell. Texas Is Now Spending $700,000 on Old Roads Determined to maintain the excellent status of its state highways, Texas is now spending $700,000 to salvage 396 miles of old gravel and macadam roads in 23 of its counties. Work under this appropriation constituted the initial project of the 1928 highway program, which called for the surfacing of approximately 1,000 miles of gravel and rock roadbed with asphalt. The 396 miles of roadway affected by the appropriation for new surface construction are being given an asphalt surface treatment. Loose Nuts Will Cause Cylinder Head to Blow Much trouble is caused by not knowing whether a repairer has completed the job. Mechanics are subject to lapses of memory as well as anyone else, and it sometimes happens that in replacing a cylinder head a repairer will overlook the importance of tightening the cylinder head bolts after the engine has warmed up. This is necessarily an expensive proposition for the car owner who fails to check up on repairs, for it means that the cylinder head gasket is likely to "blow" causing all varieties of water, oil and compression leaks. It is too late to tighten up the bolts after the gasket has been subjected to strain. Flashlight Battery Will Start Motor if Stalled If the battery is so low that the car won't start, even with the hand crank, a couple of flashlight batteries will do the trick. The illustration shows how to connect them. Remove the ignition coil wire leading to the ignition switch, and replace it with a wire from one end of the two flashlight COIL GROUND ON MOTOR BODY TWO FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES batteries connected in series (you must have at least four cells). Then connect the other end of the two batteries to the metal crank case. Crank the motor, and when it starts, speed it up to send a charge through the storage battery. A few minutes' run will put enough charge in the battery so you can start the car again with the crank.-Popular Science Monthly. Many Parts Forgotten It pays to keep in mind many of the less conspicuous parts of the car which are not properly lubricated because they are overlooked so easily. One of these, almost inevitably forgotten in the lubricating process, is the top of the steering gear post. A few drops of light oil applied at this point every few thousand miles will take away that grinding noise when one tugs at the wheel, as in parking. Clutch and brake pedal shifts need a little lubricant once in a while. Neglect causes excessive wear, resulting in noisy pedal action. Don't neglect the windshield supports and anchors AUTOMOBILE ITEMS Auto insurance on the installment plan has made its appearance in several states. If the rubber knob on the gear shift lever continually works loose, remove it and place a heavy lock washer inside of it. That Wisconsin man who wrecked his car because it wouldn't start was just about one degree madder than the rest of us. If the country was as much concerned about the prevention of automobile accidents as about the prevention of flu we wouldn't be so badly run down. After a new car has run 400 or 500 miles it is advisable to take down the crankcase and clean it thoroughly in order to remove all the filings, casting scales, etc., that could not be removed at the factory. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, APRIL 6. 1929. PRINTED CHIFFON ENTERS THE SPRING PICTURE VIA THE ENSEMBLE ROUTE UNDERWEAR & SHOWROOM AGAIN the pendulum swings to black-and-white. Right in the midst of the mad rush for color and more color and "then some" stylists have seen fit to introduce a program of black-and-white. The vogue for black-and-white extends from hats to shoes, gloves and handbags, not forgetting print scarfs and fur neckpieces. Of course when leading contourers create stunning frocks, coats and ensembles in swanky black-and-white the milliner, the bootmaker and accessory stylists in general are just naturally expected to fall in line and help "carry on." Which is just what has happened this season. Whenever and wherever the black-and-white display is staged, which is almost everywhere in fashion's realm at present, it is carried out to a nicely down to the minutest detail. An ensemble of black faille silk which adopts a white crepe saffron blouse, adding a cunning jacket of the faille, the same bordered with a patterning of white porcelain beads, calls for a chapeau repeating the black-and-white of the costume. Likewise a chic sports frock of black-and-white jersey suggests a hat accompaniment in black-and-white, and the list might be continued indefinitely. This pre-eminence of black-and-white in the mode has proven a genuine inspiration to Paris modistes, who are working the combination in such intriguing ways as the illustra- PRINTED CHIFFON PICTURE VIA TH PRINTED chiffons are answering a call of the mode to "come early and stay late." Already with spring scarcely begun, sheer prints are making their lovely presence known. Their entrance into the style picture is being accomplished for the most part via the ensemble route. The costume which has captured fashion's fancy for both daytime and evening wear is the ensemble which exploits lovely printed chiffon for the frock, likewise for the lining of the coat, which is usually of solid-tone crepe, silk or transparent velvet. Just such an ensemble type as above described is shown in the picture. It is a charming model of the sort of flowery chiffon which is always so flattering to fair women. Its color scheme is richly enhanced by the presence of a chartreuse crepe coat, which according to fashion's edict is lined with the same print as that of which the frock is made. The vogue for these lovely print-with-plain ensembles extends to day- y Your Co or an Acqu tion as presented herewith denotes. The first model uses a black bakou straw skullcap for its foundation, with huge flowerlike motifs made of shredred white and black silk. To the right at the top a smart white felt achieves a decorative embroidery done in black-and-white chenille. Among fashion's favorites the white gardenia-trimmed black felt is outstanding. The handsomely designed felt toque to the left with its two white gardenias answer to the call of the mode. One sees cunning flexible straw cloches or those of felt, with plaiting across the back in the new fantail shape, at the top of which plaiting reposes a row of white gardenias. The black ballibuntl straw hat with a brim centered to the right in the collection is handsomely trimmed with an applique of white felt leaves. A rosette of black velvet interworks white satin in its design as a trimming for the toque which concludes the group. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) NTERS THE SPRING E ENSEMBLE ROUTE time hours as well as those of evening. Designers suggest the idea of a duo role for these charming costumes by styling the frock with detachable long sleeves. At will the wearer can remove the sleeves, thus transforming a modish afternoon frock into a stunning evening gown. Color sounds an especially triumphant note for these voguish costumes. Whatever the material of the coat, its color is selected to glorify the picture. Usually some one tone or tint in the print gives a clew as to what the coat color will be. There are such enchanting combinations as a frock of navy and white polka dot chiffon, topped with a three-quarter coat of bright navy transparent velvet, a scarf of the dotted chiffon winding its graceful way about the neckline of the wrap. Favorites in the list of these truly enchanting ensembles are those carried out in the capucine (nasturtium) shades. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

MARVELLOUS MY-O-MY!! Some organizations are judged personality of the telephone com- been summoned. This is the question many movie directors have been asking themselves since the advent of the voice of the movies. Just being an actor is not sufficient; one must have the voice to go with it. Every day in the year, The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is engaged in the development of just such voices, for it is said that a good telephone voice is also a good voice for the sound pictures. Putting the smile in the voice with a smile is not as simple as it seems and many an operator of the Ohio Bell system will tell you so. Before a new operator is stationed at an exchange switchboard, she must undergo a training course of two weeks, during which she is instructed in voice as well as in the technique of the switchboard. Two subjects are stressed in the vocal course. They are "personal touch," and "enunciation." The former develops a pleasant softness of tone, the latter distinctness and accuracy of sound. That Colorful Voice Resonance and breathing exercises are two very important phases of the voice training. Resonance gives the voice life and color, and, even though the tone is carefully modulated and subdued, this quality gives it carrying power. 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. by the appearance of the buildings that house them, and others by the telephone company their sales forces but the telephone company must be judged by its voice. "Voice training is a very difficult thing to teach," said Miss Lydia Erickson of Cleveland, general instructor for the Ohio Bell Northeastern Area. "It is so intangible. Our girls must just reach out and grasp the idea with out any definite laws to guide them. The greatest difficulty is is getting them to sound the consonants properly. Vowels are open sounds, whereas consonants are obstructed sounds. Clean-cut speech is produced only by the proper forming and shaping of sound. "By bringing out the quality of resonance, we are able to modulate the volume of the voice and still give it greater carrying power. The secret is in bringing the voice up into the resonance chambers of the head—for the open spaces of the head act in the same manner as a sound box in forming the tone of the voice. This is much easier on the speaker than when she keeps her voice down in her throat, and the sound is more distinct and has greater carrying power." Personality in Tone The talking movies have demonstrated that often the voice of an actor changes his entire personality. In like manner, the voices of telephone operators create the RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." pany. The voice course of a telephone girl is as meticulous if not as long as that of a singer or orator, and the silvery tones of "Number Please" are coined in the mint of an instructor's blackboard. The actual class room period is of two weeks' duration, but operators are trained constantly during their entire career with the telephone company. Excitement or wrath are serious detriments to proper telephone communication. When excited ejaculations come tumbling over he wire, they form a confused jargon from which only an occasional word can be translated. Anger, booming into the transmitter, impedes proper enunciation. Telephone operators must therefore be able to think rapidly and accurately, yet their enunciation must be slow and distinct. Emotion must not color the telephone operator's voice, however exasperating the situation with which she must cope. The files of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company are rich in stories of operators who by thinking clearly and accurately have averted some crisis or other. In some instances, fires have broken out and the persons attempting to report them have been so excited as to render coherent utterance impossible. Gathering something of the situation from the words of the patron, the operator has completed the call and delivered the message. In other cases, badly needed medical aid has been summoned.
