Afro-Americans were urged to join in unified action "in order to secure results", in a speech by Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, last week Thursday night, at Mt. Zion Cong, church, under the auspices of the church Men's Club. He charged that one of the greatest weaknesses in the race was that it was "too prone to fight mongol that the more division there was in the ranks the less progress the race made. "I would not be so foolish as to suggest the formation of a 'Negro' party, for we have neither the racial cohesiveness nor the money to make such a movement successful", DePriest said. "What I am trying to do is to help educate the people of my race to their constitutional rights, which are neither more nor less than those of other groups and want them to exert pressure. Personally, I don't particularly care about being shaved in the same shop as the white man, bathing where he does or eating in the same dining room, but I go there because it is my privilege and right, and, so help me God, I am going to use it". Mrs. DePriest was introduced to the audience. "The Old Reliable" With the current issue of The Cleveland Gazette it enters upon its forty-seventh year of continuous publication, which is a most creditable achievement. There may be other papers which contended with consistency for the rights of the race but surely none have been more persecuted. We have been our esteemed contemporary, Hon. Harry C.

Who Abandons Boy - Baby — The Father to Be Prosecuted — Love Tryst Began in Ohio — Home in Cleveland. New York City.—Helen Wiggins, age 19, of Cleveland, O., former student-nurse at Lincoln Hospital, Harlem, this city, returned home recently after spending 56 days in jail here for abandoning her infant. She pleaded guilty in general sessions court and was given a suspended sentence by Judge Joseph Howell, this city, who have the assistance of the Cleveland manne Society in whose care she was placed on probation. Marvin Stevens, age 21, a junior at Ohio State University, Columbus, O., has been named as the father of the child. The girl is the daughter of Mrs. Helen Wiggins of Cleveland. She entered the hospital as a probationary student in September of last year, quitting in January because of her condition. She worked as a child care worker until her child was born, April 1, at Metropolitan Hospital, Welfare Island. Failing to get the welfare island to an institution here, she abandoned the little fellow on May 10 in the premises at 220 Bradhurst Ave., this city, where he was found by the janitor who turned him over to the department of public welfare which in turn gave the infant's care to Bellevue Hospital and the Child's Hospital, the city paying $1.15 a day for its upkeep. Miss Wiggins fled to Cleveland, but within two weeks after her abandonment of the child mother-love-moved her to write the local authorities that she could be found at 6209 Central Ave. Cleveland, O. She was arrested by Cleveland police and later brot here by a New York district. With the result stated above, The girl was graduated from East High School, the age of 16 and got too friendly with Stevens while at summer school, last year. BROTHER TURNS ON BROTHER! Hon. Joseph C.

Manning. tant fight for justice in behalf of black people in the southland, has been a man without a home for more than 30 years. Just prior to the world war, Mr. Manning delivered a masterful address before a great assemblage in New York City, on the subject of "World Democracy". In that speech, he emphasized that those who stood for democracy for people abroad should equally stand for democracy and a voice in the government for everyone home at home. This speech was a powerful human rights for oed people in the south, who thrilled those who heard it, of whatever race. That speech was read throughout the south. I called upon Mr. Manning, one evening, and found him very ill. He and I had been close friends for many years. He was from Alabama; so was I. He took a letter from beneath his pillow and handed it to me. It was from his brother, R. W. Manning, state land agent, at Montgomery, Ala. The letter read: "I have read your speech and since you took the position that a Negro was as good as a white man, and that you were in favor of the Negro and your white people, I never want to see or hear from you again. You are a disgrace to your family". I read the letter and handed it back to Mr. Hanning. Tears were in his eyes as he said: "What you think of that?" I replied that it was pretty tough. Joseph C. Manning, a former member of the Alabama legislature, can speak no more. His tongue is silent because of cancer of the throat and in the past three years he has remained in doors at his residence, 516 Manhattan Street, where he is writing books. "Fade Out of Populism" and "From Five to Twenty-five" are among the number. These two books, which sell for a dollar each, expose southern conditions in SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS all of their hideousness as regards the treatment of the Negro in the past forty years. He believes that his beloved south can never realize its potentialities until the Negro is allowed the same rights and privileges as the white man, and is bitterly opposed to the political corruption which results in racial oppression. With friends and fortune gone and who has estranged, he was driven out of his state. "From Five to Twenty-five" is an autobiographical narrative of his early years in Alabama, before he started his crusade for the rights of the Negro. The colored people throughout America would honor him and his efforts if they secured a copy of these books, which would but amalgamate recognition of the great sacrifice he has made in behalf of black men and women throughout this land.

Akron, O.—With cheers and loud hand-clapping, the Ohio American Legion, in annual session here, unanimously passed the following resolution: Monday. Resolved: That this convention of The American Legion, Department of Ohio, respectfully demands that all men having served their country during the World War be given the ballot and their rights as citizens in all city, state and national affairs, and an honorable discharge from the U. S. army, navy or marine corps. Be It Further Resolved: That the resolution be presented to the Legion's national convention at Louisville, Ky., Sept. 30, for its approval. Active in passing the foregoing resolution were Comrades Arthur Johnston, Wm. Saunders and Harry Walker of Boydston Post. It was not even debated. They were ably assisted by "Dewr" Drucker of Glenville Post. For the second successive year, Boydston Post carried off the honors by winning the Martin Walker Award from each of the Ohio Post having the largest increase in membership over the previous year. Vice-Commander Alvin C. Gibbs received the cup for the Post, while Wm. Bailey advanced the colors of the organization which were decorated when the call for colors was sounded. Boydston Post also won the Jones-Bolton cup which will be presented by the Cuyahoga County Legion. The Post has only to maintain the same average in order to become owners of the cup of the Jones-Bolton Legion on day afternoon by Boydston Post, forty strong, led by the Glenville drum and bugle corps, headed the Cuyahoga County delegation. Vice-Commander Gibbs and Comrade Bailey. The delegation dressed in spotless all the boys wearing canes in true military fashion, was cheered all along the line of march. The Cuyahoga County Legion has selected two delegates to the national convention, Comrade Harry Walker of Boydston Post, beheaded before, at Minneapolis. Cincinnati was selected as the next state meeting place. Boydston Post delegates to this convention were: Messrs Johnston, Gibbs, Saunders, Bailey, Walker and Rev. H. McKinney. Veterans of the World War here recently organized what is known as the John C. Fulton Post, No. 272. It, too, was in the parade headed by a band. The Cuyahoga delegation was located at the Montreal Hotel, W. W. Gibbs and was carried to and from the parade in cars furnished by local Legion members. CONSUL HUNT IN THE U. S. The Hon. Wm. H. Hunt, U. S. consul at Guadalupe, French West Indies, is enjoying a well-earned vacation in this country. While in New York he visited his wife's sister, Mrs. Napoleon B. Marshall. The Marshalls have lately returned from France, and are accustomed to the American embassy. Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Marshall are daughters of Judge M. W. Gibbs (deceased) of Arkansas. They were educated at Oberlin, O. Mr. Hunt has had a long and successful diplomatic career, having served the U. S. on the island of Madagascar, and has been a member of his present Carribean post. He leaves New York City, early last week, for Washington, D. C. THANK YOU! Jersey City, N. J. — Accept my congratulations upon entering your forty-seventh year of continuous service in journalism. You have wrought well and deserve the commendation of all thinking people. Without the spirit of The Gazette in this country, fighting for colored justice, a great void would appear. You have been a teacher to many more years of faithful service. Sincerely and friendly yours, (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS JAIL! FIRST COMMUNITY CHURCH. Its $55,000 Home—Dr. W. A. Byrd Leading in a Wonderful Work —The Chamber of Commerce Approves It. Jersey City, N. J. — The First Community church, of Jersey City, N. J., has been organized and incorporated according to the laws of the state of Ntw Jersey. It has purchased the property of the Evangelical Lutheran church, corner of Communipaw Ave. and Woodward St. This property was bargained for the Polish Catholic church, at a price of fifty-five thousand dollars, but owing to its being within the diocese Dr. William A. Byrd. of Monsignor Mehan of Lafayette section this church could not enter. The First Community church then took over the property. The committee that purchased it for the church consisted of James W. Cusberd, W. F. Douglass and Robert Sammons with the pastor, Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. The church will formally take over the property, Oct. 1. As a community church it will devote itself to propagating community religion. It will endeavor to uplift our people without regard to creeds. Emphasis will be placed on living the life of life, the young of the race will be looked after with a view to diminishing crime, aiding those who may make their first criminal fall, providing for wholesome recreational and social contact, reducing the exorbitant rents paid by our people and seeking to establish goodwill and helpful relationship with all races. Business and Christian white men have given much of their money and time to aid our people in the south but the member of the race at their door has been neglected. The elderly of the well-deplored in the south, they are permitting at their doors in the north and instead of having a sympathetic attitude one of indifference has taken its place. No church ever began with more enthusiasm and determination than this. It has a band of the finest christian workers, men and women, ever known. The program of the First Community church may be stated as follows: (a) Pious reverence for God. (b) Faithful following in the footsteps of the priest in doctrinal life well now, leaving the hereafter to Him who made both the present and the hereafter. (d) Encouraging education and enlightened civilization. (e) Helping men and women to enjoy the present by making the proper use of all things that make for uplift and happiness, and (f) making Christianity conform to the example of its great Founder and Master. To this program the church invites all persons that want to develop their talents so as to give back to the Master a profitable return on what He gave them. (g) That has the heartiest support of the best thinking people of the city, without regard to race. The Chamber of Commerce looks with favor and approval upon this first organized effort to uplift and care for our people here. BISHOP CAREY QUALIFIES. The Afro-American has not approved the mixed activities of Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago. Bishop Carey, we think, should be either a bishop or a politician. He should give up his bishop's seat or his office as Civil Service Commissoler. We have disapproved also of his use of political methods at the last Gen. Col. Cox's funeral to gain the presidency of the Chicago area. All in all, the Chicago prelate has come under the ban of our editorial disfavor; but last week, addressing the annual convention of Shriners, Bishop Carey said: "I am in favor of social equality and I have no patience with those who say they are not." Inurance alone, Bishop Carey shows his fitness to belong to the "National Association of Yes-Men". His sins are forgiven him. He is welcome to full membership in the Afro's own Racial Club.—Baltimore Afro-American. Jones—Fields?

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1929. Color-line City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins has ignored Councilman Russell 8, Brown’s city hall inquiry resolution for many weeks, some months! Wonder if he intends to pay any attention to it? Ask Rev. Brown! alte — i ‘The Gazette surely wishes Rev. Wm. A. Byrd and the First Com- munity Church of Jersey City, N. J. all the success in the world. It is a big job he and his congregation have undertaken, but we feel sure they will complete it. at Ignorance of the profession and business accounts for the free pub- Heation, in many of our newspapers, of entirely (00 much propaganda stuff, furnished by individuals, col- leges, various organizations, and even the government, a > ‘The Elks, K. P.’s, Odd Fellows, Shriners and lower Masonic orders are sald to have spent $125,000, last year, holding national conven- tions. Isn't it about time for the intelligent of our people to wake up and put on the brakes in this mat- ter of squandering their hard earned eee: ah: Cals ac: It is said that Congressman Oscar DePriest has announced that he has received several disheartening let- ters from our only West Point ca- det, Alonzo 8. Parham of Chicago. We doubt this because we do not be- eve Parham is that sort of a chap. And we have not lost sight of the fact that his is a most harrowing ‘experience, these days, in that center of color-prejudice and race hate. It is also said that Congressman De- Priest visited Alonzo, recently. We hope he has and that others will do 0 as often as possible while the young man is “incafcerated” in the ‘U.S. military academy. For a while it was current rumor that local “Negro” ministers, who were proselyted into supporting the Manager Plan, were being promised $100 a piece. Later on, current ru- mor had it that they were paid $200 a piece. Last week, the current talk was that some of them were paid $200 and others lesser sums. The Gazette would ask the trustees of their churches how much, if any, of the money the ministers are alleged to have received has been given to the churches. Since they failed to carry anyone of the four so-called “Color- ed wards”, whatever money was paid them, if any, was wasted for the very good reason that they fail- ed utterly to deliver, when it comes to votes. Saal eee THE “JEECROW NEGRO”. Certain Arkansas “jim-crow Ne- groes" have written Chief Justice Wm. Howard Taft as follows: “We know Judge Martineau and we have found him to be fair, im- partial and without prejudice”. The foregoing was written to off- set a letter sent to the Chief Jus- tice of the U. S. Supreme Court ask- ing him to discontinue the practice of sending southern judges to north- ern states on vacation assignments. Judge Martineau, sitting in New York City, and another southern judge recently gave such palpable demonstrations of race prejudice in N. ¥. court rooms as to justify Cou- gressman La Guardia, Republican candidate for mayor of New York City, in writing Mr. Taft as indl- cated. The heart-rending part of the foregoing is the “jim-crow Negro's” rebuke of a real white friend who was seeking to make a little easier the lot of those members af the race who are compelled to use northern federal courts occasionally presided over by southern judges. Lord, have mercy! peceae. | aegead INVESTIGATE! Edward J. Demson, executive sec- retary of the Progressive Govern- ‘ment committee has received a writ- ten report from a private detective agency concerning {ts investigation of voting booths in the Eleventh and Twelfth Wards, during last week Tuesday's special election. It re- peats a verbal statement by the chief of the private detectives to the effect that one man was seen to make repeated trips to a Twelfth Ward precinct; that the “X" mark was pointed out to another voter, and that there were instances of several torn ballots on the floor of the Thirteenth Ward booth. Isn't this “perfectly awful, Mabel? Fur- ther investigation will not be made until Demson returns from his vaca- tion, Sept. 1. Over 85 precincts in the East End are said to have re- turned an abnormally large vote for the Manager Plan which was practi- cally the same in each precinct. This, if true, ought to be investigated, too, because it has all the “ear-marks” of crookedness somewhere in the booths or Board of Elections. = ANOTHER COLOR-LINE. The Sears, Roebuck Company of Chicago, of which Mr. Julius Rosen- wald is “chairman of the board”, has opened a store at the nation’s eapital in which there are separate rooms for its colored and white pa- trons. This has caused the Wash- ington (D. C.) Eagle to scream edi- torlally to the extent of about one column in which no reference what- ever is made to the fact that the great philanthropist is connected with the company. Mr. Rosenwald’s penchant, as far as our people are concerned, is assisting to provide “jim-crow Y's” in various parts o! the country. He contributes $25,- 000 when the sum of $75,000 is subscribed. This latest Washington, D. C. discrimination would indicate that he rather favors color-line sez regation generally, and ought to bs understood by our contemporary The Eagle, for if memory serves w: correctly $25,000 from Mr. Rosen wald helped to establish the “jim: crow Y" at the nation’s capital Nevertheless, we are desirous of add ing our protest, to that of our con frere, against Sears, Roebuck & Co or any other combination or indi viduals multiplying color-lines 01 increasing segregation in Washing ton or anywhere clse in this coun try, particularly in the North. 0: course, The Eagle, if it did do so did not realize that, when it was en couraging the establishment of th Washington, D.

GEORGE For Taking Client's Ring and Not Getting Him a Bond— Re- ‘ae eink Municipal Judge Joseph F. Sa- wicki, last week Thursday, scored Councilman “Clayborn George for “conduct unbecoming an attorney” ‘when one of George’s police court etlents on trial for Mauor law viola: tion, charged the councilman with failure to obtain bail for him after receiving a fee for doing so. Sa- wicki declared that George had act- ed in @ manner unfair to his client, but said a reprimand would consti- tute his only action against the city legislator, this time. James Barnett of Akron, for whom George was counsel, said he had been hela in County Jail since Aug. 2, although he had given George $25 and a dia- mond ring as a fee and security for @ bail bond, Barnett showed a re- ceipt from George which stated that the ring wag to be security for the bail. Judge Sawicki said his censure of the couneliman also was based on George’s assertion that he could pro- cure bond for his client when he asked the judge for a continuance Of the case from Aug. 9 to Aug. 22. When Barnett's case was called, last week Thursday, George pleaded guilty for his client. Barnett then declared to the judge who question- ed him: “No, I had no idea of pleading guilty. I'm innocent and can prove i", Judge Sawicki accepted the de- fendant’s plea. Trial of the case brought out that Barnett had ar- rived here from Akron only a half hour before his cousin's home was raided.

Gibbons had an interest in city con- tracts and, under the charter pro- vision forbidding this, is liable to forfeiture of his office, was made, last week Wednesday, in a report by State Examiner Will E. Heck on the operations of the city law depart- ment soi 1925 through 1928. Gib- dons, the report says, was paid more than’ $1,000 in fees for settling dam- ‘age claims against the city. A sim- ilar charge of having an interest in ‘a city contract was made by the ex- aminer against former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming in connection with one $50 fee he received for set- tling a claim, The report also dis- closes that, when the City Council voted $1,200 to pay judgments against Patrolmen Horace Jenkins and John Jones in 1926, the checks were given to the Hon. Harry B, Da- vis, former state representative, who was put on the Civil Service Com- mission a year and a half ago by the Republican organization. ‘The Check Divided Up Davis, according to testimony cak- en by State Examiner Heck and Leo P. Johnson, gave $100 of the $1,200 to Fleming, who was then chairman of the Council police and fire com- mittee, retained $450 for himself, and turned over the balance, $650, to the two policemen, Heck’s report makes a finding of $1,080 against Gibbons, $50 against Homing, $200 each against Patrol- men Jenkins and Jones for excessive reimbursements by the Council, $194.06 against City Law Director Shuler and $148.65 against W. C. Zahniser, clerk of industrial claims. for traveling expenses. Shuler, Gid- bons and Zahniser are white. | Shu- ler refunded the amount listed against him. Among the others listed is Mrs. Vella Bundy, wife of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, who fell on a defective side- walk, She was represented by Councilman Fleming. The city set- tled for $250. Fleming's fee was $50. ‘The examiners commented on the low percentage of Fleming's fee as contrasted with some of those col- aban ke Thane “NEGRO DYING OUT"! The Negro is dying out, and he is going to die faster and more rapidly fn the next fifty years than he has in the past three hundred years. There is only one thing to save the Negro, and that is an immediate re- alization of his own responsibilities. Unfortunately we are the most care- less and indifferent people in the world!

Smith’s Ohio Civil Rights law which the edi- tor had enaced while a member of the 7ist General Assembly, in 1994: ‘The General Code of Ohio: See. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facili- ties or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or Smprisoned 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 per- son aggrieved thereby to be recoy- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction 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! “The Old Reliable” Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Brown didn't know that the city administration had laid off all our men in a sewer maintenance gang at Lorain and W. 140th St. until Councilman Herman Finkle told him, one day last week. Finkle is wide awake most not all of the time while Brown is fast asleep most if not all of the time. There was a meeting of our local labor conference committee in the private dining room of the Y. W. C. A., Monday evening, to discuss important matters with Clarence O. Senor, former captain of the Cleveland Workers' Educational committee and now national secretary of the Socialist party. Mr. C. E. Hunt, of Cincinnati, on his vacation, arrived in the city, Tuesday from Detroit and spent a day or in the city circulating among his left friends and acquaintances. He forged a youngstown and Pittsburg en route home. Mr. Hunt is one of our most loyal, active and progressive residents of the former "Queen City" of the West. City Manager Hopkins says: "The men will not be put back to work". Director Harding also declared the employees (English, Mason, Sellers, Rosenblatt, Bernstein and Mara) would not be returned to their jobs. He maintained the men were fired because of economy measures, as does Hopkins, and because they were "less efficient". Hokom! Having reference to the Charter Amendment pseudo political apostles of the recent campaign, the "round robin" signers, "Negro ministers", Dr. O. A. Childress, local dentist, writes: "Finally, let me ask a simple question: What doth it profit a question to take $300 and lose his own job?" The Manager Plan line-up in the recent campaign was Rev C. C. A. Aller in the 12th ward; Atty. Francis Young and Rev. Russell Brown, 17th ward; Dwight Williams and Rev. D. W. Barker, 18th ward; and no-one in the 11th ward. They were "beaten to a frazzle" by our Charter Amendment voters in all four wards. In the Cleveland delegation attending the Elk's national annual The Way of the Transgressor.

I have had so many people to make inquiry of you, that I toot I would drop you a card". Two of our young men who had purchased tickets from the Grey-Hound Bus Co. for Atlantic City were requested to take seats in the rear of the bus, last week Thursday evening, when they tried to start their trip. This they refused to do, retaining their tickets, and of course have two good cases, under our Ohio Civil Rights law, against that bus company. They retained Chester K. Gillespie as their attorney. Last week Wednesday, Rev. and Mrs. Boston J. Prince of Messiah Baptist church, representing theEqual Justice club, sent Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis the following telegram: "Congratulations. We do not consider yesterday's vote a defeat of the Clergy Amendment, since the date of the people of Cleveland did not vote. We are ready to go into the fight again with you whenever you command." And there are others. "Many of them:" Rev. A. L. Boone, who came to Cleveland from Texas, about two years ago, and Rev. R. M. Caver, who came to Cleveland within the year from Arkansas, went "down home", a few weeks ago, to visit until after Aug. 20, '29, special election day. They were two of the ministers who were, it is said, induced before leaving for the South by Rev. Russell S. Brown, councilman, to support the Manager Plan. Both have returned to the University of Arkansas ministers leave. Monday night, for Kansas City, Mo., to attend the "Williams" National Baptist Convention. Color-line City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins started in last week Thursday to "fire" members of the Republican organization holding city jobs. The first ones to go were: Rob. Bernstein, his attorney (by law), former member of the board of elections and 12th ward Republican leader; I. P. Rosenblatt, also a relative of Mr. Bernstein; Joe Mara, Dana English, Alvin Sellers and Marcellus D. Mason, the last three members of the race and former lieutenants of Sx-Councilman James Nearly. Not soon to follow, it is said, all charged with working for the Charter Amendment. Mr. Emmett Meade, E. 130th St. wrote The Gazette, many months ago: "I am sending you information concerning some of the claims secured, under your Ohio Mob Violence act, or Anti-Lynching law, against the county as a result of that Woodland Hills bathing pool riot in 1927.

Walz, councilman, in explaining the defeat of the Charter Amendment says: "There were two principal reasons, the main one of which was the lavish use of money against the Amendment. They spent a lot of it! The Amendment advocates didn't have any to spend." The truth! In ward 11, 1631 votes were cast for the Charter Amendment and 614 against it; in ward 12, 1852 for, 336 against; in ward 17, 1402 for, 597 against; in ward 18, 1655 for and 1241 against. This is a splendid showing, under the circumstances, and our people have a right to feel proud of it. If other wards of the city had done as well a different result would have been secured. The "Round Robin" signers, ministers of color, did not "cut any figure at all", even with their own congregations, when it came to voting, Tuesday. The so-called "Colored wards" made the best showing of any in the city for the Charter Amendment. Brown, Ailer, Walker and their co-signers were "jokes" when asked to "delivering" (votes) on Tuesday to the Manager Plan and City Manager Hopkins. Geo. E.

Therefore, our readers need no tainancy in recommending it to their friends and other good people. The combination of money and the three daily newspapers of Cleveland was too powerful a force to be overcome, Tuesday, it seems. That is the leading explanation of the defeat of the Charter Amendment. These are others, of course, as other and more money than the defeat. The free use of money was the main thing! It "influenced" newspapers and individuals — large numbers of middle class and poorer voters, thousands of whom have been out of work for months or worked part time, and needed money sorely. Wealthy Manager Plan advocates of the city influenced voters more than the masses. Money also purchased the support of ministers, not all "colored", nearly every one's interest, like those of the masses, being wrapped up in the success of the Charter Amendment.

This everlasting credit! Now that the Manager Plan has been sustained, and of course City Manager Hopkins will be retained, we shall watch carefully to see if his color-line policy at the City Hospital, in the bathing pools of the city and elsewhere, is or is not to be discontinued promptly. This was the most important issue in the campaign, as far as our people were and are concerned, and it is necessary to remind those "Negroes" of the plan and the man" of this fact. The largest vote, nearly 50,000 being cast against the Manager Plan and the small majority it secured, in our judgment is positive proof of the fact that the great mass of people in the city of Cleveland are opposed to that form of government.

UNDERWOOD THE FASHION WEEKLY IT IS not so easy to distinguish between fashions of an American tot and those of a wee daughter of France as it was of yore, for the reason that juvenile America is more and more developing a style complex commensurate with that heretofore ascribed to la petite Parisienne. In referring, therefore, to the cunning dress pictured one does not hesitate to recommend this Paris-made model as charming for any little girl whether she be of American or French extraction. The clever note about this modish frock is its fanciful pointed jabot treatment. Also it has a very unusual yoke which is deeper at one side than at the other. It seems that Paris couturieres are this season making striking trimming the individualizing touch on little girls' dresses rather than "lines" or silhouette of the frock itself. All sorts of fantastic decoration is employed as achieved through appliqued motifs, intricate insets and hand stitchery of every description. SHE TOPS HER SLEE WITH GAY JACK SHORT rather than long is the verdict recently rendered for the unlined separate coat. Midseason styles especially place emphasis on the shortened jacket. It is a short-rather-than-long coat which gives the final touch of chic to the costume in the picture. If one is the happy possessor of a sleeveless print frock (most women own not one but several), the addition of a little jacket similar to this one will tune it admirably to midseason wear. Which is exactly what many are doing this very minute—buying or making cunning jackets such as will extend the wearableness of their frocks of gay print into the cool fall days. Color is a very important consideration when choosing the right jacket for the right gown. Either white or high colors are most successfully mated with the more summery frocks in light print for immediate wear. It is a little jacket of heavy white crepe which impartis a fattering finesse to the print gown illustrated. The jacket which fastens with a softly tied bow as does this one is a favored type. Many women are taking advantage of the short-jacket vogue to sound a startling color note in an ensemble way. For instance, a tangerine and brown silk print dress topped with an orange-colored flannel or crepe jacket, the same surmounted with a matching felt hat, becomes an exponent of mid-season chic. If there is one color more than another which is being featured at this writing it is orange, or call it tangerine if you will, the vogue carrying even into bright pumpkin shades. Don't T But Give it With the decorative thought in mind, washable hand-painted flowers beautyify georgette party dresses, likewise floralis or modernistic designs done in gay wool yarn give high color to many a diminutive coat or dress. Chenille embroidery is very new for tots' frocks. Worked on either crepe, taffeta or wool challis it is very effective. Puffed flower work is also a departure from the usual flat applique. For this thin silk is crinkled or puffed to form each flower petal rather than stretched smooth-tootily or laid flat. In appliques the modernistic influence is strong both as to color combinations and designs. Especially do imported Italian felt coats stress the extreme in color effects. There are especially many border effects encrusting bits of multicolored felt in a manner reminiscent of mosaic work. Amusing applique motifs are also applied to dresses of various materials. Because of this flair for felt applique design, the better fancy work departments offer for a few pennies each swatches of felt in any desired color. Three popular materials for children's dresses are wool challis, shantung and silk plique. It is said that challis in dainty solid tints or prettily printed will be very much in evidence this fall. Shantung being washable is very practical and its attractiveness is enhanced with gay yarn embroidery. Coats for infants are made of silk plique in the daintest of tones and thus JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1923, Western News Ullstein. SLEEVELESS FROCK JACKET FOR EARLY FALL Coming back to the short-jacket phase of the mode, the popularity for immediate wear of the sleeveless pique frock with wicket accompaniment should be mentioned. The smartest are self-colored. That is, a pale yellow pique which companions with a jacket of flat crepe silk in perfectly matched color bespeaks that which is fashionable. In the same matching spirit, a delicate pink crepe coatie is posed over a silk or cotton pique, the one equally as fashionable as the other. Contrasting the white and vivid-toned little jackets are those in navy, these same being very popular worn with white and printed frocks. The subject of jacket and frock costumes suggests a very interesting theme—that of the new silks for fall which feature a print weave with a plain in choicey related colors. The newest types which are simply too beautiful for words are called plumage silks, so named because of their realistic bird colorings. Watch for these! If madam asks to be snow plumage silks in pheasant colorings, or peacock tones, or parrot shades, the salesperson will bring out the most intriguing combinations, perhaps a marvelous print all in yellows and ruddy browns which look as if it had captured all the glorious tints of the pheasant. With it will be shown the same silk weave in a beguiling pheasant brown in solid tone. The idea is to use the print for say the frock and the plain for the coat, or vice versa if you prefer.

GOOD BRAKES NOT ALWAYS CERTAIN GOOD BRAKES NOT ALWAYS CERTAIN Car Owners Should Be Turning to Latest Test Machines for Safety. That brakes can be so effective as to trap the car owner into believing that he has nothing to gain by having them periodically and scientifically inspected is a new thought that is gaining momentum in the motor world. Brake experts now go so far as to warn that what passes for satisfactory stopping may be a broad hint of sudden and perhaps chronic brake trouble. Almost any car with four-wheel brakes will "stop." That, in the opinion of those who are trying to get at the root of present difficulties in deceleration, is where the danger lies. Few drivers appreciate what their brakes could do if properly cared for and how vitally important it is to keep up with the brake efficiency of the newest cars. Despite the fact that motorism is on an entirely new basis of stopping efficiency, it is still common to see motorists, even mechanics, testing their brakes by sliding the wheels along the garage floor. But 1900, or even 1903 methods, are no match for present-day needs. This is a machine age where human fallibility cannot be tolerated, and it is logical that progressive car owners should be turning to the latest brake-testing machine and brake-renovating equipment in order to safeguard stopping. These machines and newer systems teach even the most seasoned motorist many points which he might not come to appreciate by the slower method of learning through hazardous and expensive experience. In the case of internal expanding brakes, for instance, excessively sudden stopping may result in the drums warping. When this condition prevails it is impossible to adjust the brake shoes so as to prevent their vibration when the brakes are applied. Chronic screeching of the brakes is just one of the results of such a condition. How can the car owner tell if his drums are out of round or whether the squeaks in his brakes are due to this cause? A few years ago this question would have been left to guesswork, or if the owner happened to be unusually interested in the matter he might seek out a machine shop. Today he goes to author's brake service stations, runs his car up on a convenient four-wheel testing machine and is soon in possession of accurate information regarding the exact condition of the brakes.

A New Jersey teamster has been fined $50 for biting a piece from the ear of a balky horse. However, it worked, and you can try it sometime on the carburetor. From Entering Vent Pipe The level of the gasoline in the float chamber of a carburetor is controlled by a small needle valve operated by the rising and falling of the float. The action of this valve necessarily must be delicate since there is little power available to operate it. The valve itself consists of a tapered seat with a tapered pin that is ground in to make a gasoline-tight joint. If the valve does not make a tight joint, gasoline will seep past and raise the level in the float chamber above the opening in the spray nozzle and it DUST CLEAN AIR PIPE LINE FROM GAS TANK. How You Can Prevent Dust Particles From Entering Vent Pipe of the Vacuum Tank. will flow out through the spray jet and leak out of the carburetor in a steady drip. If the valve is properly ground in, the only possible cause of such a leak is a tiny piece of foreign matter such as a piece of dust lodging between the ground faces and keeping them apart. In localities where there is much dust a frequently unsuspected source of trouble is the vent pipe of the vacuum tank. Air is drawn into the pipe part of the time, and dust goes with it. The illustration shows a cure for this trouble. The vent pipe is brought back through the dash and the end is covered with a piece of old stocking material that will filter out the dust.—Popular Science Monthly. Q.—What is the cause of a storage battery overheating? Ans.—Not enough water or too rapid a rate of charging. Q.-Why should valves be ground? Ans.-Much gasoline is saved by grinding in valves as loss of compressions means loss of power. Q.-What is a common cause of hard starting even when the battery is in good condition? Ans.-Old or wornout spark plugs, or plugs that are not properly gapped. Plug should be gapped at .018 to .022 inch; and breaker points at .015 to .020 inch, in most cases. Q.-What per cent of the consumption of various commodities such as rubber, plate glass, leather, nickel, gasoline and finished rolled steel is used by the automotive industry? Ans.-Rubber, 85 per cent, plate glass, 74 per cent, leather, 60 per cent, nickel, 28 per cent, gasoline, 80 per cent, and rolled steel, 18 per cent. Q.-What was the increase in car registration for the first quarter of 1929 against the same period in 1928? Ans.-1,500,000. Nation of Speed Thirty-six states of the Union permitted cars to travel at speeds as great as 35 and 45 miles an hour in 1928, while three states placed no fixed limit on the speed of motor cars. In 1918 only three states allowed cars to travel 3 or 40 miles an hour on their highways. Twenty-five miles an hour was the usual maximum, while one state fixed 15 as the greatest permissible pace.

Field of Cleveland older in point of service than any in The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. "I was an operator back in Louisville, Kentucky, in the early days," said Mr. Field. "Operating was a bit different then. Boys stood at the switchboard making connections with small brass plugs which they carried about in baskets. If a subscriber became the least bit disgruntled over his service, we told him to go out and walk off his grouch." Mr. Field proudly wears his diamond studded service pin on the job every day in Cleveland. His service has been continuous since 1880, 49 years and eight months as of August 1. Andrew J. Mellen, new division commercial manager of the Toledo division of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. He got a job back in 1883 with the Central Telephone Company as lineman, repairman and general utility man at Sandusky. Years passed, filled with changes and improvements in the telephone business. It was fascinating, progressive work. He liked it and he grew with it. Now after 46 years and eight months, Mr. Mellen is still a telephone man. Since September 3, 1883, Harry T. Sapp of Steubenville has been concerning himself with telephone affairs. He was a night operator for The Central Union Telephone Company at Circleville then. He is now commercial manager at Steubenville for The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. His service record is 45 years and 10 months as of August 1. Faithful Service Recorded Faithful Service Recorded The records of the Telephone Pioneers of America contain the name of William S. Hayes of Co- . lumbus, and with it a record of faithful service. He began with the Dayton Telephone Company. That was on January 1, 1881, but subsequently, for a time, he left the telephone business and it was from January of 1884 that his record of continuous service dates, 45 years and seven months as of August 1. Those are the records of men. A 40-year service record in the business world for a woman is more unusual. Miss Edith M. Campton of Cleveland has been in telephone work for 43 years, having started as an operator for The Cleveland Telephone Company November 1, 1896. Her entire career has been in Cleveland, where she has held various positions of responsibility in the operating department. These are but a few of the many faithful workers on the roster of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company as was brought out at the recent meeting of N. C. Kingsbury Chapter No. 2, Telephone Pioneers of America.
