Prime Sport News The sport-writers on all the local daily newspapers were unanimous in declaring that "Gorilla" Jones of Akron won the fight, last week Tuesday night, at Public Hall, this city, with Tommy Freeman, the southern "pug", and that it was far from being the draw the referee decided. All agreed that the latter was simply favoring Tommy white) who received a $1,018.016 and $1,192. That was "rubbing it in" with an engagement. The gross door receipts were $19,403. The total amount paid the fighters was $10,607. "The Keed" Wins Again. New York City.—Kid Chocolate Afro-bantam bantamweight, kept his winning record clear, last Friday night, by defeating Bushy Graham. Utica claimant of the bantamweight title, on a foul in the seventh of a scheduled fifteen-round match opening Jess McMahon's new Coliseum. Graham previously was warned four times for low punching. It was a disappointing ending to a sensational battle that saw both the crack youngsters on the floor several times, though neither took more than a count of one at any time. Graham, although far ahead on points, was being soundly whipped and was badly hurt when in sheer desperation he fouled Chocolate for the fifth time in the seventh. A crowd of 16,000 witnessed the slugfest. Promoter Eddie Mack of the Boston, Mass. Garden has announced that he has signed Kid Chocolate and Bud Taylor for a 10-round bantamweight bout on May 10. Places Godfrey First. Philadelphia, Pa.—Johnny Risko, "the Cleveland baker boy," thinks George Godfrey is the best heavy-weight in the ring, today. He ranks Jack Sharkey, Paulino, Max Schmeling and Jim Maloney next in order. According to Godfrey's reply for a breach of promise suit filed against him here, recently, by Rodina Nutter, age 33, she pursued him and that she, not he, proposed several times. Rodina alleges that Pheab Smith Williams, which was the name George discarded on becoming a fighter, proposed to her, became engaged and then broke the proposal, six years later. Godfrey denies, the overly engaged to her. In reply to the woman's plea for $100,000 to salve her injured feelings, Godfrey stated he was not wealthy. Godfrey weighs 267 pounds. Rodina is a mere 210-pounder. Subscribe NOW! ASKS FLEMING APPEAL OUSTER. County Prosecutor Ray Miller Cites Atty. Geo. Spooner's Delay in Filing Brief—What's George Trying to Do to Tom? Dismissal of ex-Councilman Tom Fleming's appeal on his penitentiary sentence of from 2 years and 9 months to 10 years for accepting a $200 bribe from Walter L. Oehme, former city detective, was sought, Monday, in a motion filed in the local court of appeals by the county prosecutor's office. The motion declared Defense Attorney George W. Spooner (white), had failed to complete his appeal in that he is 30 days overdue in filing his client's brief in error, which should have been filed 15 days after Spooner introduced his petition in error before the higher court. What has his assistant, Atty. Selmo C. Glenn, been doing to permit to happen? Has he, too, been "asleep at the switch"? The appellate court set April 22 as the date of hearing on the dismissal motion as Spooner will be out of the city until that date. Prosecutor Ray T. Miller will at that time make public, he announced, an affidavit from George F. Wolf (white), insurance salesman the Swetland builders, who prevised his previous affidavit made to Spooner in which Wolf said he saw Fleming hand $200 to Oehme at the Elks' club on Sept. 27, 1927. It was on this alleged passage of money that the state based its case against Fleming. HON. PERRY B. JACKSON Blocks the Ku Klux Klan Attempts to Require "Race" Identification in Election Law—His Legislative Record. Columbus, O. —A covert attempt to embarrass our voters by requiring race identification at registration was successfully blocked by Representative Perry B. Jackson of Cleveland as the 88th General Assembly of Ohio drew to a close, last week. Under old laws and also under the original draft of the proposed new election code no racial identification was required. However, in subsequent drafts the words "race or color" were inserted. Upon protest by Representative Jackson, the Senate committee struck out the words "or color" but passed the bill with the word "race" still in. Jackson, however, still undaunted, persisted and appeared twice before the House elections committee and finally succeeded in having the objectionable word stricken out. He was also successful in killing a bill providing for the registration of fraternal names and insignia. The effect of the bill was such that our counsellors, K. P. and other fraternal societies were unable to insignia and insignia as white fraternal organizations would have been forbidden to use their present names and insignias. The following bills were successfully fathered by Jackson and passed both Houses: H. B. 80, which requires Notaries Public to print or stamp their names legibly on all documents signed by them, and H. B. 382, which authorizes the conveyance by the state of title to certain submerged and filled lands along Lake Erie for water and land terminal development. The former bill was signed by the Governor on April 6. He then gave the pen used to Jackson and commended him for his service in the legislature. Our Girls Win Honors. Boston, Mass.—Miss Susan Echols of Brookline won the Durant scholarship of Wellesley college in this, her senior year. The achievement automatically places her on the "honor roll." Of 375 girls in the class, 25 of them received distinction for excellence in their studies. The Durant scholarship is the second highest honor the school gives its meritorious students. Miss Dorothy Davis of Washington, D. C., another of our girls who graduates from the school this year, received a Wellesley college scholarship, third highest honor. "Joe" Baker "in Bad" Zagreb, Croatia.—Croatian University students of the Clerical party expressed their resentment at the appearance of Josephine Baker, Afro-American dancer, at a theater here last week Wednesday night, by hurling various missiles at her and shouting. "Long live Croatian culture. Down with such vulgarity." The students, who were objecting to Joe's near-naked act which Parisians raided over, eventually were ejected from the theater and several were arrested. "Mat." Henson Remembered New York City.—In recognition of the part he played, twenty years ago, in the planting of the U. S. flag at the North Pole, Matthew A. Henson, the only living member of the expedition, was presented with a silver loving cup at his home, recently, by the Bronx Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the race. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORTED THE PRESIDENT, LAST FALL, Not Moral on the Franchise Question in That Section Northern Afro-Americans Must Organize and Strike Back—Dr. Byrd's Call! (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Mr. Hoover as President is entitled to have his way in dispensing patronage to the various states. He is not entitled to have his way in breaking down the Republican party by inaugurating a policy that is foreign to Republican traditions. He and his Secretary, or rather Postmaster General, seem to feel that white and colored men who have worked together for years in the South, to maintain the Republican party, are not worthy of confidence, either for this policy or for life nor themselves. Through ballot-box stuffing, "grandfather clauses", the interpreting of the federal Constitution by election officers, who were sworn to refuse registration to Negroes and also were depended upon to count into office their men without regard to the vote cast whether in majority or minority, the Democratic party of the South, the holdover for this policy, the age, murder, lynching and all forms of political oppression have run rampant. She respectable white man and Negro have had no show. Because of certain elements of the last year, Democrats forsook their party and voted for Hoover and Curtis and not for the Republican party. Strange it is that Mr. Hoover now turns to these as his guide in dispensing patronage in the South. It is said that the whites that voted for Hoover were the moral element of the Democratic party. This element was came to the prohibition and to the church to prohibition and to the church the Amendments that gave Negroes the franchise, they were as immoral as any of the group that voted for Al Smith. A morality that is based on appetites and creed-prejudice will not stand the acid test of honesty. If the Hoover element of the white South shall run things, it will be a portion of the same element that have kept Negroes in ennoyage and oppression for the last forty years. Office-holding is the right of every American citizen when he has the South is forbidden Negroes in the same element that will now direct Mr. Hoover in the dispensing of his patronage. According to the statement of the press, Mr. Hoover is going to be governed by the "respectable citizens" of certain states in building up the Republican party in the South. There should be a Democratic party in the South as well as a Republican party. This Republi Additional Local G. Burrell Taylor, an old resident, died, Thursday morning, at the Old Folks' home. Funeral, today (Saturday afternoon) from the home, Undertaker Rogers in charge. Burrell had many friends and acquaintances in this city. A very fine program is being prepared for the inter-racial social and dance, April 25, at Spiro Hall, 3408 Scovill Ave. for the benefit of the victims of the floods in Florida, West Indies and Alabama. Tickets 25 cents. Refreshments. Miss Virginia Wing, secretary of the Anti-Tuberculous League of Cleveland, on behalf of the league and the City Council Health committee, announces that 115 decrepit houses have been razed and 4,000 corrections made of insanitary conditions in the third police precinct, "the Roaring third", and the lower West Side in the last six months. And the surface, in the third, has not been noticeably altered. On the recent Saturday evening when The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. opened its newest DeLux store on the S. W. corner of E. 49th St. and Central Ave., the manager of which was and is Geo. A. Sisco, there were those among the onlookers in front of that splendid place of business who apparently could not believe that a member of the race was in full charge of it. But it's so. "George is doing what he does," the store has been a big success in a business way ever since it was opened. He is as able as well as competent; so go in and see him and tell your friends to trade there, too.

AGE AND LYNCHING DECORATS WHO SUPPORTED MENT, LAST FALL, hise Question in That Section Americans Must Organize k—Dr. Byrd's Call! PETER H. President Herbert Hoover. can party in the South was born as the guardian of the Negro vote. The Republican party for years has used this Negro vote to nominate candidates, but after nomination, forgot the Negroes until the next four years. In the meantime, the Democratic South, this same element that Mr. Hoover must depend upon, was its essence to drive away from the ballot all alliances. Hoover is to go build up a Republican party in the South out of southern Democrats that sanction "jim-crow" cars, keeping Negroes away from all things that would dignify them as citizens, and make them cringing servants. In this first sectional effort, Mr. Hoover has swung over to the bourbon attitude. The Republican party managers had better take a hand in this movement. Negroes outside of the South, if they have guts and manhood, will use their hands to turn against their kin in the South as Mr. Hoover and his advisers are doing. Northern Negroes should organize. There should be that which is deeper than politics to cause them to organize. Their citizenship, right to be considered decent respectable citizens, their right to hold office anywhere in this country and their right to protect their own political rights as well as to safeguard the rights of their children should make them organize and use their ballots to bring about their freedom. The Republican party is taking a step that threatens to force the party to forsakes the humane attitude of its founder, Abraham Lincoln, it ceases to retain the right to be called, Republican. Let us fight for our rights! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. STEAMER SERVICE NOW OPEN. One of the earliest openings in the history of The Cleveland & Buffalo Transit Co. was made when its steamer, "City of Erie", left Cleveland, Thursday evening, for Buffalo, opening daily service between Cleveland and Buffalo. Steamers leave each way, every night at 9 P. M. arriving at the opposite terminal at 7:30 A. M. This route is becoming more popular every year for auto tourists as well as those who travel by rail. For auto tourists C. & B. are armed and the service saves many miles of driving over congested roads and leaves the additional time for sight-seeing at points of interest. The new C. & B. folder, which contains auto maps of the territory, will be mailed free upon request by addressing Frank W. Milton, G. P. A., The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Co., Cleveland, O.

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929. Editor and Mrs. Fred. R. Moore of the N. Y. Age have just celebrated their golden wedding. Isn't that fine! Wish you at least one more such celebration, Mr. and Mrs. Moore. Secretary Henry A. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., announces the next meeting of our National Association of Newspapers for May 15, 16 and 17 at Milwaukee, Wisc., and urges a large attendance. It now appears that the stadium on the lake-front of this city is to cost nearer ten million dollars than the two and a half million voted by the people, last fall. Twas ever thus. The Gazette was among those that warned the people of this very thing before the last election. Eight K. K. K. "night riders" down in Belmont County have been indicted as the result of an attack on H. L. Van Horne, and one of them also for shooting at his "sweetie" whom he has since married. All are "white", and the offenders now know that Ohio has a Mob Violence Act. Good! In the Columbus letter, elsewhere in this paper, can be seen the necessity and advantage of our people being represented in the Ohio Assembly. Representative Perry B. Jackson of this city is entitled to our thanks not only for heading off the K. K. K. attempt to draw a color-line in a new "election" law but also for legislation he was responsible for. Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney has so improved his Cincinnati (O.) Union since he dropped that Chicago advertising agency's "supplement" we hardly knew that sterling race advocate when we looked it over, Tuesday. More power to you, old friend. This also means more good business of all kinds. The change in the size of the Baltimore Afro-American is a disappointment, we regret to say. During the last eight weeks, Ex-Senator John P. Green has successfully defended and won three cases that were stubbornly contested. Two of them were for our people in the common pleas criminal court and one for a little white girl in juvenile court. The Senator, like good wine, seems to improve, if possible, as the years slip by, in his court practice. He is the oldest practicing attorney at the local bar. If Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., resided in the North instead of the South, he would soon change his antiquated views on amalgamation. Intermarriage of the races increases, each year, in this section of the country. For more than ten years, here in Cleveland, more of our women have married men of the other race than our men have women of the socalled "white" race. Many foreign-born men in Cleveland have Afro-American wives. Congressman Tinkham (Repub.) of Massachusetts, in an open letter to President Hoover, very properly demands that the latter submit the question of enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. Constitution, safeguarding the political rights of black and white disfranchised Republicans in the South, to his national committee which is to investigate the failure of law-enforcement. To be consistent and fully obey his oath of office, the President must do as Mr. Tinkham demands. But will he? We hope so. Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, Monday, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now advocating a "jim-crow" hospital for this city, but one on the East-side of the city, the majority of its official personnel (those in charge of it) to be "Negroes". Such an institution would do the same harm that a "jim-crow" hospital would, because ALL "Negro" patients that went to the other hospitals in the city, as they do now, would be sent to Gregg's "makeshift" institution, and that would rob our people of the right to enter the other hospitals as they do now. Then, too, there is no need of such a half or two-thirds "jim-crow" institution, since "Negro" patients in this community are being better cared for now than they could possibly ever hope to be in a "hospital" such as Gregg advocates for the selfish purpose of getting a few jobs for "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, who do not seem to be able to make a good living otherwise. Is this the thing that City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Councilman Gregg have been "rubbing noses or heads" over for the past year or so? We want to know! Cleveland will never start or maintain such an unnecessary thing. Let the "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, do it if they can. There will be no objection to their having such a private institution. Why don't they go on back "down home" and revel in "jim-crow" hospitals and about everything else. They are making nuisances of themselves here, trying to not only impede our peoples' progress in this community but positively trying to make them retrograde. Shame! BROWN AND GEORGE ARE NOT LIARS! Our local contemporary, quotes Councilman E. J. Gregg as saying, last week, in reference to what Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George say he said at that caucus of Republican members of the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, referred to on page 4 of this paper: "Did you make such a statement? Gregg was asked", said our local contemporary, last week. "No, that's a damned lie", replied Gregg, according to said contemporary. Rev. Dr. R. S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Atty. Clayborne George, councilmanic colleagues of Gregg, say he did say it, that they distinctly heard him, and have sent letters to that effect to the Gazette which we published, last week, and give again, this week, for the express purpose of combating just such a statement as Gregg is credited with by our local contemporary which by the way we understood, the first of this week, may and may not appear, this week, after its strenuous experiences of the last two weeks. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councilman, that he uses such language in referring to the truthful statements of his colleagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we understand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constituents and the public think of him? To another question, he is quoted by said local contemporary (if it is still alive when this appears, of course) as saying: "H—ll, no!" Well, well, WELL! Isn't that and his other reply (above) awful? What say you, Dr. Dr. C. C. Aller, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the members of your congregation "church" Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color in a hole and a big one, too. But that is not a "marker" to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temerity to be a candidate for re-election, this fall. Goodbye! Gregg. 'TWAS EVER THUS! For more than forty years, James Banks, a wealthy white lawyer of Atlanta, lived with Dolly Gardner as his wife, because Georgia law would not permit them to marry, and all of his relatives knew it and said nothing. A few years ago, he took her to Chicago to live so he could marry the woman. Then the storm broke and in the right place, Chicago, it seems. His sister, Mrs. Fannie Calloway, came North, backed by other relatives, and applied to the Chicago courts for the appointment of a "conservator", their palms itching for some of her brother's $350- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. 000, consisting mainly of property in that city, Atlanta and Florida. To this Mrs. Banks' attorneys agreed, with the stipulation that they be allowed to name the party. This was done, last week, and the Continental Illinois Bank, the largest in Chicago, was appointed. Mrs. Banks' attorneys explained that the reason for doing this was that Mr. Banks is physically incapable of taking care of his interests in the South and that his wife, a woman of the race, would encounter too many obstacles if she sought to go South to manage his affairs. Thus it was thought that a reputable legal agency could do better. But the appointment of the conservator did not end the battle, for Mr. Banks' relatives have intimated their intention of going to court to have the marriage annuled on the grounds that the aged man did not know what he was doing. Mrs. Banks' attorneys do not believe that their opponents will have a leg to stand on when this action comes up, if it ever does, and are prepared for it. Of course this is not the first case of the kind since the War of the Rebellion. There have been a number of them. Only this appears to be the latest. Years ago, a banker of Macon, Ga., brot his "wife" and three handsome lads to Cleveland so he could marry her and "give my boys a name", he told the writer. He was wise and sold all his property before leaving the South (hell), and until his death lived happily for many years here with his family. Is there any limit to the vindictive and contemptible maliciousness of prejudiced southern whites? NOTICE! Lizzie, daughter of Millie Wells, was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Her mother died, June 18, 1928, at Sewickley, Pa., leaving all her real estate and personal property to her two daughters.

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. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. 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 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 cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and 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 resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

(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 enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating House, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, to all citizens and regardless of color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The 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!

More than 70 per cent of all motor tourists avoid night driving whenever possible, according to an analysis made by the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club of statistics gathered by the national touring board of the American Automobile association. "Our analysis discloses that the fears of those motorists are fourfold," declared Charles M. Hayes, president of the club. "First, many main highways are narrow, 16 or 18-foot concrete strips. The clearance between passing cars is insufficient from a safety standpoint in daylight; it is, in the case of some drivers, dangerously close at night; secondly, there is the headlight menace; thirdly, poor visibility of highway signs, and finally, the prevalence of intoxicated drivers on the highway at night. "The narrow roads are, to some extent, being eliminated. In some metropolitan areas the counties have widened them to 40 feet, but this great movement is yet in its infancy. A vast amount of work is to be done. "All of these hazards can be successfully eliminated if the right steps are taken. Headlights can be standardized and adjusted in such a way as to eliminate glare. Frequent inspection and enforcement is the cure, once a uniform safety standard has been agreed upon. "The inadequacy of signs, of which so many motorists visiting our touring bureau complain, is not due so much to the character of the signs as the positions in which they are placed. Oftimes they are well out of the easy range of the headlights of a car, and the car owner must come to a full stop and 'comb' the landscape for them with his spotlight, if he has one. "The answer to the drunken driver menace is prosecution to the limit. Were all of these conditions surrounding night driving removed, or remedied to a large degree, far more motorists would drive at night, with a resulting decrease in the congestion on highways during daylight hours." Average Motor Used 200 Gallons of Gas in 1928 Every motor vehicle in the United States used an average of approximately 200 gallons of gasoline during the first six months of 1928, as compared with about 170 gallons during the same period of 1927, according to the American Automobile association. The statement is based on a gasoline consumption of 4,652,383,535 gallons during the first half of the current year, 3,971,423,311 gallons in the same period last year, and a total registration of more than 23,000,000 motor vehicles. It rather offers conclusive proof that the automobile is a necessity. "Never Happened Before" Troubles Easily Found "It never did this before," is a remark one frequently hears, especially around repair shops. The story is told of one motorist who had trouble starting his motor after having warmed it up and then switched it off. Other persons with the same make of car had had the trouble on numerous occasions. But it never had happened to him before! A little investigation revealed the fact that he had just started using a gas that vaporized more readily. Electric Gasoline Gauge Needs Good Attention These electrical gasoline gauges located on the instrument board of a number of cars today have a great many car owners guessing. It should be remembered that the gauge does not register accurately unless the ignition is turned on. This being the case, the way to check up on the filling station is to read the gauge just before the engine is cut off to have the tank filled and immediately after it is started again. Outline of Simple Plan To clean Spark Points To clean spark plugs simply fill the lower part of the plug with alcohol, or any liquid metal polish, and allow to stand for a few seconds; take a piece of wire covered with one thickness of cloth and rub the carbon from the insulator, then wipe clean and dry thoroughly before replacing in the engine. Cleaning a plug in this way is far better than taking it apart to clean. When a plug is once taken apart there is great danger that it will not be put together securely again, which would cause leakage due to it not being gas tight. This in turn causes loss of power. In cleaning the sparking points use emery cloth or a knife. In cases where the electrode is badly worn away and when the insulator is coated heavily, cleaning is of no avail. It is then better to install new plugs. Burn Out Carbon While Carbon is usually burned out by blowing oxygen into the spark-plug openings. A quicker way is to draw the oxygen into the cylinders while the motor is running. Attach the hose from the oxygen tank to the intake manifold by unfastening the tube to the vacuum tank and connecting the oxygen hose to the fitting of the vacuum tank lead. Ordinarily the tank will hold sufficient gasoline to run the motor during the oxidation. Be sure that the radiator is full of SUCTION TUBE FROM VACUUM TANK DISCONNECTED OXYGEN TANK VACUUM TANK CHOKE Burning Out Carbon. water. Start the motor and run it slightly faster than idling speed. Turn on the oxygen gradually and at the same time close the choke slowly. Adjust the oxygen valve until the motor receives so rich a mixture that it will miss. Then let the motor run for ten minutes. The surplus oxygen combines with the carbon in the combustion chamber. Not only is the combustion chamber thoroughly cleaned in this way, but also the exhaust ports and valve stems, and the spark plugs. —R. P. Cole, Paterson, N. J., in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Cause of Poor Starting and Big Battery Drain An automobile properly serviced, engineers agree, should give as good performance after 25,000 miles of driving as it did when new. Among the important minor servicing items that should be looked after regularly are spark plugs. Old or worn out spark plugs cause poor starting and excessive drain on the battery, poor running, and loss of power, especially on hills. AUTOMOBILE HINTS To paint the exhaust pipe requires a compound capable of resisting a high degree of heat. The next endurance marathon will be riding in a rumble seat from New York to Los Angeles. The purchase of the Lancaster and Fruitville turpike in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, leaves but one toll road in operation in that state. Indianapolis is endeavoring to regulate pedestrian traffic. As usual, however, the pedestrian prefers to assume the risks rather than be regulated. When a motorist is blinded by the headlights of an approaching automobile he is legally required to slow up, according to many court decisions throughout the country. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929 RAYON WEAVES CONTRIBUTE NEW INTEREST TO THE FABRIC MODE Ring Go M LINEN IN TWEED EFFECT IS SMART FOR TAILORED SPRING ENSEMBLES THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES IT IS quite probable that the strong endorsement given rayon weaves by best known French stylists has added to their prestige. At any rate, the fashion feature of rayon fabrics, ranging from the most informal washable prints to the most formal transparent velvet, is unquestioned. Since rayon has entered the fabric field, new thrills in the way of hand-made weaves have followed one after another. There is that "I will" spirit about rayon which results in its accomplishing all that finen or cotton or silk has achieved. The picture presents two widely varying phases of rayon weaves. The attractive rayon print which fashions the cunning coat and enthuse which the little girl is wearing tells its own story of effectiveness. The coat which grown-up sister is carrying conveys a message of the smartness of checked rayon velvet for sportswear. Among weaves which are getting a lot of favorable attention these days are rayon flat crepe in solid tones, rayon prim, crepe and rayon volles LINEN IN TWEED F FOR TAILORED NOWHERE in the cauum of fabric has Dame Fashion placed a more inspired hand than in the devising of intriguing weaves and patterns for dress linens. Because of their hand-someness and distinction, certain of the heavier linens qualify as smart media for the street tailleur. This is especially true of the new tweed linens, which are just what their name implies—tweedlike in appearance. Not only do these modish tweed linens express all that the style-wise woman seeks in way of last minute mode, but the idea of an arresting tailleur which launders perfectly—who would be without such a practical-plus-chic costume for spring. The ensemble pictured exploits an exceedingly smart tweed linen made into a suit with a three-quarter-length coat, a skirt with an inverted plait in the front and a swanky little blouse y Your Co or an Acqu either plain colors or gay prints. It seems that flat crepes are becoming immensely popular, both for the making of the one-piece frock and for the fashioning of the coat or ensemble. Rayon print-crepe is ideal for the little jacket suits, such as hold the center of the style picture for spring. At the moment those with dark backgrounds and tiny cavat patternings are the smart item. As to rayon volles, one cannot withstand the temptation of buying an extra dress pattern, every now and then, for they are so alluring in their buffling sheerness and beautiful colorings. Anyone who has purchased rayon volle and given it the test of laundering knows what an excellent "buy" this material is. It has the "expensive" look, although as a matter of fact it costs so comparatively little. Other interesting rayon weaves stress taffeta, moire and satin. Taff tea for the evening frock and moire for daytime wear are outstanding. JULIA BOTTOMLEY © 1929 Western Newsletter Union.) FECT IS SMART SPRING ENSEMBLES made in a perfect contrasting color. Concerning the blouse, it has a very interesting story of its own to tell, for it also is made of a new linen weave—a superlinen, being an exquisite handkerchief linen, but with sufficient body that it does not crush readily. One of the chief allurements of this ensemble is its fascinating color scheme, which combines gray with yellow. The blouse carries out the yellow tone with which the tweed of the coat and skirt is flecked. It is, in turn, trimmed with appliques of the tweed. There is no doubt about the importance of linen in its every phase for the spring and summer costume. One of the beguiling outcomes of the linen vogue has to do with decorative embroidery either hand worked or machine done, which is lavished on both sheer and heavy linens. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newpaper Union.) py of The maintenance w Ring Gets Shaved on Porch To the Editor: I hope you boy and girl readers won't be bored on acct. of me writing the events on Long's island every little wife but really things do happen here that I don't believe they happen nowhere else. Like for inst. the other evening I was setting at home working like a dog though I never yet seen a dog that done any real work, but any ways a prominent citizen who his name I won't mention, but he was a delegate at large to a convention of paper hangers and he called up and says I am coming over to see you and bring 2 friends. So I says please don't come right now as I am working and besides which I ain't neither dressed or shaved. But he says we will be right over, so what was they left to do only for me to for get dressed as soon as possible and did not have time to shave. Well they come over and I met them on the porch and served them a couple of ice cold drinks of one kind another and one of his friends was a gal and the other was a man and he introduced me to the gal but did not say nothing about the man. So we set down a wile and to make conversation I says well if I had of knew that I was going to have company I would of shaven myself. Where as the stranger to who I had not been introduced says wait a minute and leapt up and went out to the prominent citizen's car and brought in his satchel which contained a full barber's kit and he come in and stropped his razor and asked me where I kept the hot water and I says we live in a kind of out of the way place and don't have no hot water so he says all right I will shave you with ice water. So he shaved me there on the porch and the passers by was certainly astounded and said what a swell guy that must be to have a barber come and shave him on his own porch. Afterwards it developed that party to who I had not been introduced was the prominent citizen's personal barber and the reason he had not introduced me to him was because he did not know his name. Well either that night or the next night they was some company come in and one of them was Jules Schwob who is Florence Moore's husband and somebody suggested a game of bridge and as bad luck would have it I got Mr. Schwob for a partner and the dealer dealt and passed and it was my bid and I bidded 2 spades and the lady on my left passed and my partner doubled. As far as I was concerned that was a brand new convention and for a minute I was mystified. But the others did not seem to think nothing much about it so I readdressed and they left me in and I made 2 spades which was doubled and redoubled by my partner and I so we made a whole lot more than if we had just played it plain 2 spades. You learn every day. Well the bridge game finely broke up in a terrible row and we decided to play charades at whom I am a master. The dear was to give the names of prominent people in Great Neck of who they are a great many and I won't tell what other charades people give because they were not so good but will give you one of my own. I says this is the name of a prominent actress who has been both on the stage and on the screen and always wears pretty clothes. Her name is in 5 syllables. The first syllable is the 12th letter in the alphabet and is a consonant. The second syllable was to visualize. The third syllable was the past tense of the preposition for The fourth syllable was a German and the fifth syllable was his boy. After several hours they all give up. The answer was Elisle Ferguson. Virtually everybody laughed except Frank Craven. Well one day we went over to the finals of a gals' tennis matches which they held them at Forest Hills and if you can find any forest or any tills you are a better man than I am Emile Coue but any ways that is what they call it and the finals was between a very young gal from El Paso and an other not so young gal from Natchley and the El Paso gal kind of bumped in so I made the remark that youth will be served and her whom I laughingly call my wife said yes but it is even worse when she is doing the serving herself. Girls will be girls. That is about all the news that has happened on Longs Island since I seen you inst and I hope you ain't bored with it but if so will give you the promise that you won't hear nothing more about it for a wk at the outside.

Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This Community. When Councilman Russel S. Brown brot up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council, to open the local 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. 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. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gregg, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir;—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that Rev. Brown reported such a falsehood, for I have high regard for him as a Christian gentleman. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that, I have more confidence in moral sausion and diplomacy as methods of achievement than radicalism. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for Negro advancement in Cleveland" we have failed to learn of it, so we have watched his career here ever since he landed, from "down home"—Editor: Brown Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, O, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I appreciate your calling me over the telephone and apprizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg's letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the information which was the basis of your editorial but I presume you got it from someone and talked with me about the matter. First, let me give you the "heart" of the resolution referred to: "That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be appointed by the mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a law of our place which may require and equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions". This was discussed in a meeting among a number of friends. It was at that meeting that Dr. E. J. Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there existed an organization of white nurses which would not allow their members to work in the hospital and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and report on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is both timely and right to open the City Hospital and girls. This is as near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race present. Atty. Clayborn George, councilman, was also present. Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—In answer to your inquiry over the telephone, today made a reference to statements made by Dr. E. Gregg, advice that I was present at a meeting where a proposed resolution of Rev. Russell Brown was being discussed. This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Council of the City Hospital with reference to equal opportunities to all people for the training of nurses and internes. According to my best recollection, Dr. Gregg said that the American Association of Nurses of MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Clean, Clear, Healthy Beautiful Eyes Are a Wonderful Asset Murine is Cleansing, Soothing, Refreshing and Harmless.

New York and Philadelphia objected to the training of white and colored nurses in the same hospital, and because of the attitude of the American Nurses' Association he thought the resolution was untimely. He further said that if colored nurses were placed into the City Hospital it would destroy the morale of and affect seriously the services rendered there, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregg further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the information desired, I remain, Gregg's reasons for opposing the admission of our girls in the nursing school at the City Hospital are simply ridiculous and a rank insult to all of our people of this community. —Editor. GO BACK "HOME" GREGG! Councilman E. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution supported by the taxpayers of the community, among whom we number thousands, because organized prejudiced white nurses "would not work with our nurses", he says, and because "forcing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-school might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital," he continues. Now, really can you believe that a sane member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such rot, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, have mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as for the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways".
