It flew directly over the home at 1:35, this morning, and it was indeed a beautiful sight. Have just arrived from the Mines Field, the landing place near the suburb of Inglewood which is a part of this city. Performances there are above village is a 100 percent Kluxer town. Our people give the place "a wide burth". A few miles from there is a sea-beach, Manhattan, where our people's bathing pavilion has been burned down on several occasions and where they have endeavored to bathe and have been stoned and put in jail, and of course safety they be thought of. If an African American man they should be in a hurry and even then they are stared at as if they were curiouses. This is true! In connection with the foregoing I would like to say, from my experience I have come to realize that for this condition our people are in a large measure responsible as they not only bring it on themselves, but the jealousy, prejudice and malice of members of the race toward one another, and in recent attempts to build up the above condition, feel that some of our people hate other's advancement far greater than some of the white people. Even in the government military homes, I have found that about all of the segregation and discrimination is requested, and in some instances demanded, by Colored inmates. This has been my personal observation, as an inmate of homes, ever since the Spanish-American war I am leaving in the fall for Honolulu, Hawaii, to spend the winter. Shoots Far Away From the Mark Almed at "Samo-bo, Rastus" and Farina— New York City.—Until recently, "Negroes" figured in films only as grotesque buffoons, over-grown children afraid of ghosts. Sometimes, as servants in scenes of the upper classes. The "Negro" was caricatured and made to provide the lighter stuff in pictures. Only as "Sambo, Rastus", Farina, America sees the "Negro", And so King Vidor heralded his loud "Eureka" to an awed movie world: "Hallelujah"—a film of the American "Negro" by a white director who does not, never has and never will understand him. In "Hallelujah", we've tried to express the remarkable emotional nature of the Negro against a series of yield happenings. They call it an "epic of the Negro". It neither expresses the "remarkable emotional nature of the Negro", nor is it an "epic of the Negro". The film lacks unity of conception. There is a world of difference between talent and life. Any attempt to portray the American "Negro" in the movies will have to be as close to the documentary as possible. called here by her brother, John Miller's illness, has returned to Pittsburgh.—An interesting literary program will be rendered at Simpson M.

Defeats Danish Champion. Copenhagen, Denmark—Panama Al Brown successfully defended his title as world bantamweight champion, last week Wednesday night, by defeating Knud Larsen, Danish champion, in a 10-round match. The result was announced to enormous crowds surrounding the stadium by an airplane which flew overhead and by prearranged signal displayed a red light to indicate that Brown had won. He is scheduled to meet Teddy Baldog, the British champion, in New York City, this month. 45,000 See "Chocolate" Win. New York City. — The Afro-Cuban, "Kid Chocolate", punched out a tingling victory, last week Thursday evening, over "Al Singer", the Jewish idol of the Bronx. The "Keed" now lives in Harlem where it meets most people placed in this city. Like Singer's kinsmen, they were at the fight in force. The gate receipts ran well over $200,000. There were no knockdowns as the two youngsters, almost letter perfect in boxing technique, fought swiftly and cleanly through the twelve rounds. The Associated Press score sheet gave the Afro-Cuban a decide in boxing in the first round on Singer's two even. Fighting a careful counter campaign from the start, Chocolate met the swift rushes of the black-haired Jewish lad with remarkable skill, set the pace of battle despite Singer's aggressiveness and spurt with furious rallies. The "Keed" silenced Singer's heaviest gun, a straight powerful right to the head, tied up the Bronx favorite effectively in the clinches and outgeneraled the Jewish boy in the stage. In the fifth Chocolate flashed his right hand to Singer's head in one fast rally and the Jewish boy barely kept his feet. In the eighth he again caught Singer with a ruinous right uppercut and Al had diffi- Stars Win Half. BISHOP EDWARD THOMAS DEMBY For Missionary Bishop of the Great Episcopal Church He and Mrs. Demby Being Highly Entertained in Her Old Home. In point of fact, the average colored communicant in the South knows much more theology and liturgics than his white brother. Entertaining, but not altogether palatable to southern taste, is the fact that the Right Reverend Edward Thomas Demby, the colored fragan of Arkansas, holds more academic degree than any southern white bishop, and more eastern ones. Bishop Demby holds a B.D., from Wilberforce University; an S.T.D., from the University of Chicago; a D.D., from Paul Quinn College; a Litt.D., from Selma University, and a Mus.B., and LL.D., from Oskaloosa College—Nelson Antrum Crawford in The American Mercury for August. Bishop Demby delivered one of the principal addresses at the commencement of Wilberforce University in June at which time he was granted the degree LL.D. He is our first bishop of the Episcopal Church with jurisdiction in America and is now its only living bishop of our group in this country. His work is in Arkansas and the southwest province. Because of the exceptional success that is following his efforts, many of the race clergy say he is the logical person to be appointed as our missionary bishop of the greatest church in Willow Creek. The Social Activities. Rt. Rev. and Mrs. E. Thomas Demby are spending their vacation in Cleveland, Mrs. Demby's (nee Miss Nettie Ricks) native home. Their many local friends are make-culty holding the shadow "keed" while his head cleared. Uban Finishes Strong. Singer flashed his best form in the second round with rounds, pinch he drove Chocolate all the way under a bitter attack. But in the twelfth, the final session. It was Chocolate again who stole the play, mustering the final measure of strength, pinning Singer to the ropes with a flood of punches that settled the argument as far as the referee and judges were concerned. Chocolate fought a cage, well planned battle through the early rounds, fighting only in bursts on the defensive as Singer plunged confidently to the attack. He had a shade the better of the first session and a clear margin in the third. Singer made punches that seeped through Chocolate's guard in the open, and his better organized attack at close quarters gave the Jewish boy the second, fourth and fifth rounds. After the sixth Chocolate unleashed a right hand that previously had been held in reserve for blocking purposes. He beat Singer consistently to the punch, out-smarted him in the hot exchanges, and easily won the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds. The tenth was even. Singer stage 1 was final rally in the second round, the took complete command of the situation in the final session. For all the clean and accurate punching, the only damage either showed when the melee was over was a deep cut in Singer's right cheek, opened in the fifth, and a "mouse" that appeared under Chocolate's left eye a round or so later. Singer weighed 128% to Chocolate's 125. The Usual "Social Equality" in the South. Elizabeth City, N.

Wendy (EDITORIAL) THERE WILL BE NO "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL Cleveland, O., Sept. 4, '29. Editor, The Press, The News and The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sirs:—According to an item in your paper of Tuesday, certain Colored doctors in this city are asking for the establishment of an east side branch of the City Hospital, something all the residents of the City of Cleveland for nearly a century have not thought or found necessary. Several of our councilmen have informed the writer that the City Hospital has several or more wards that are not in use because the city is too poor to put them in proper condition. In view of this, the writer is wondering where it will find the money to comply with the suggestion of the aforementioned Colored doctors and if it was able to do so, what justification it would have for such misuse of the taxpayers' money. The discrimination said doctors complain of as existing in the City Hospital can easily be eradicated by going into the courts because the City Hospital is a public institution and the law prohibits racial discrimination against citizens. If the Colored doctors referred to wish a hospital of any kind, branch or otherwise, there is nothing to prevent their establishing such an institution, but there are strong and effective arguments against the use of public funds for any such purpose. Then, too, a three-story addition to the City Hospital is now being built. NOT NATURALLY MEAN But So Because of Education and Training—Most White Americans Broadened By Travel Abroad—Liberty There and at Home. New York City.—Prof. Wm. Pickens of this city who returned, late in time from attending the Anti-Imperialists of the Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, among other things of interest says: "It is interesting to meet white American tourists abroad and to observe their different reactions to race relations there. Some of them are getting educated and broadened by their travel; a few are being irritated into clamoring for recognition when they are foreign complexes; when they are foreign complexes. It also broadens the mind and the hopes of Colored people who go abroad. It convinces them, by contrast, that white people are not mean by nature but only by training and education, like any other people. Of course, it amazes an Afro-American, at first, to find that he is a man of a beer in Germany, against the heat he is facing than in the United States of America, for which he fought! He finds more human liberty in Hamburg or Berlin than in the best American cities like New York or San Francisco. He also finds that, at present, the natives have more liberty in Germany which lost the war, than in any of the great white nations, that where discrimination is creeping in, it is due to the dominance of American dollars—the plain superiority of money over morality. "Afro-Americans are, on the average, the most advanced. More of them should travel, and they should travel everywhere". Col. Duncan Discharged Chicago, Ill.—Col. Otis B.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1929 The suggestion that "a city wide organization place its strength behind our most likely candidates" for the City Council is not a good one, to say the least, because so many of our people will differ as to "the most likely candidates". And, too, to do such a foolish thing is manifestly unfair to all our other candidates. A receiver for the Luna Park Park Amusement Co., operators of Color-line Luna Park, was asked, last week, of Common Pleas Judge Weygandt by the Whistle Bottling Co., because it had been given a check in part payment of an $885.75 bill which the bank refused to honor, and returned. In its petition to the court, the company said it believed the park in danger of insolvency. If the alleged place of amusement is closed by the courts, our people of this community will "shed no tears" because of its color-line activities, covering a number of years and which we have failed to stop in spite of the fact that our Ohio Civil Rights law was and is in our favor. If memory serves us correctly, this is not the first time, however that the Luna Park Amusement Co. has been so threatened. THOSE "ROUND ROBIN" SIGNERS According to the Progressive Government committee's $70,517.20 expense account, filed last week Friday day with the board of elections Dwight R. Williams, the third district leader in the "Colored section", for the manager plan forces received $1745 "at various times to pass on to precinct workers"; Rev C. C. Aller, "Negro" manager plan leader in the twelfth ward, was given $593.41 for similar use; while Rev. Russell S. Brown, councilman their 17th ward leader, also was given "approximately $1500 for workers". According to the report, Rev D. O. Walker, their 18th ward leader, was not given any money "for precinct workers" or for any other purpose. This seems a bit strange. Also, the fact that no mention is made of the amounts, if any, given the twelve "round robin" signers and the four other ministers who later joined them in their endorsement of their pro-manager plan statement which was not only silly but a rank insult to our people have been styled "precinct workers" and "covered" with this designation. It would be difficult to make any intelligent person believe that any of them wanted money for what they did failed to get it. This, too, in the face of the fact that Colorline City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and the manager plan bar our girls from the school for nurses at the City Hospital and bar our internes from training in that PUBLIC institution! It would also be interesting to know what part, if any, of the sums noted above paid to Williams, Alier and Brown "to pass on to precinct workers" was retained by them as "precinct workers" or workers of any other kind. Positively the most flagrant public exhibition of disloyalty to the race and a woolful lack of self and race respect was given our people of this community by those sixteen "round robin" signers and any associates (ministers) they may have had, with less publicity or under cover. And our people of this community, particularly the ministers' congregations, should hold them strictly responsible and make them "pay" for it, before the end of the chapter. THE KU KLUX KLAN-AND THE CITY MANAGER PLAN. Emboldened by the success in the recent campaign of the Manager Plan and Color-line City Manager Hopkins, the Ku Klux Klan of the community is more active than ever in the history of the city of Cleve- land as the following, from Monday's local daily newspapers, will prove: "Officials of the American Agricultural Chemical Co. W, 140th St. and the Big Four railroad, last week Thursday, turned over to Lieu. Hiram Olderman of the Lorain Ave. Triskett Rd. police station an anonymous letter threatening them with various calamities unless they changed their labor policy and stopped ordering a detailed order ordered a detail of police stationed at the plant at night to guard it against vandals". Having been successful in allying themselves with the Manager Plan and driving our people from the Woodland Hills bathing pool and from about all other bathing pools in the city; also in getting the City Manager to bar our boys and girls from training in the City Hospital and the Nurses Training School of that public institution, the Kluxers are now undertaking to dictate to private enterprises who give employment to our people. Local "Negross", especially the ministers, who were proselyted into turning their backs on their own people and supporting the Manager Plan and Colorline City Manager Hopkins, under the leadership of Revs. C. C. Ailer Russell S. Brown, and D. O. Walker, and thus linking up with the Ku Klux Klan element of the community, ought to be made to pay, and pay dearly, for their shameless political conduct during the recent campaign. They helped materially to so embolden the local Ku Klux Klan element as to make possible such threats as those sent to the of ficials of the American Agricultura Chemical Co., referred to in the foregoing. Lord, have mercy! ROSENWALD'S SEGREGATION. Julius Rosenwald, head of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, has NOT said that the segregation just established in the company's Washington, D. C., store would be abolished. His son, Lessing J. Rosenwald, vice-president of the company, writing from Philadelphia, under date, Aug. 23, '29, relative to the aforementioned segregation, said: "If we find that in no other place is this practice followed, we will immediately discontinue it in our Washington store." The elder Rosenwald has for years promoted the establishment of "jimrow Ys" thruout the country. So one needn't be surprised if the segregation complained of is retained in the Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s Washington, D. C., store. THAT "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL AGAIN The Gazette on Tuesday was furnished with a lengthy resolution signed, or alleged to have been signed, by a number of local "Negro" doctors favoring an East Side Branch of the City Hospital, only another name for a local "jim-crow" hospital. The resolution contains nothing new on either side of the subject, but does emphasize the distressing fact that its signers have little or no concern for the future rights, privileges and progress of their people in this community, as far as local hospitals are concerned. "Negro" patients of Cleveland are being taken care of. No-one denies that. If there is segregation at the City Hospital and denial of rights and privileges to our internes and girls in that public institution and its nurses' training school, which is these things do not justify the establishment of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital, but can be eliminated promptly whenever our people see fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly said, the establishment of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to "go to your own hospital" whenever they made application for admission to other local hospitals. The resolution's reference to "the Jewish section, the Italian section, the Irish section, etc.", reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections is asking for a segregated hospital for their own class or class, but have the good sense and judgment to use the city and other local hospitals just as our people are doing. The "jim-crow" hospital advocates' reference to the Central Arena, bath THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 7, 1929. house and the Harlem hospital, New York City, is not pertinent, neither making any such condition as would the establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital in this city. The fact is that "if an East-Side-Branch of the Cleveland City Hospital" was located in the "Negro section", a year would not pass over our heads before every "Negro" making application for admission to any other local hospital but the "jim-crow" hospital would be forced to go to it and be barred from the other hospitals of the city. They would be told to go to their own hospital and everybody knows this, including the "jim-crow" advocates of an East-Side-Branch of City Hospital who would make a few jobs for themselves at even so great a sacrifice to all of our people of the community. Their statement that they "are opposed to any city institution which practices segregation" placed alongside of their advocacy of a "jim-crow" hospital is positively silly, and if they really were in earnest in a "determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, to participate in the present hospital, offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nurses" they would not offer more and greater discrimination, segregation and "jim-crow" action to prove said opposition. This latest movement of the local advocates of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital can be traced directly to the success of their ally, Color-line City Manager Hopkins, and the manager plan at the recent special election. We repeat, there will be no "jim-crow" hospital or East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital located in the "Negro section" of Cleveland. "NOT THE LARGEST. BUT THE BEST!" Little Rock, Ark., June 16, '25. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—Long live The Gazette! a welcome friend to the Ricks-Demby family for forty-three years. We boast of being among the oldest continuous subscribers of The Gazette—not the largest but the best in essentials and the most abundant of race journals. Wishing you continued good health and success, we are as ever, Very truly yours, (Bishop) Edward T. and Nettie M. Demby. Something Wrong! 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-American 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. 18 IF ANY USE TO CONTEN TEND, FOR USES? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discriminatory war, are winning even social rights today 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 subject or 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. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mor-violence or anti-lyning bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and 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 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 2. Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed 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. 12 5.) 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 five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such 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 receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor, such children being such decedent, such sum shall be distributed to 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 subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6. 8) Section 6284. Action or the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action; in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (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, and such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9. 7). The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. must 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 6288. If a mob carries a person into another county, or comes from another county, or violates crime against 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 disperse such mob. (93 v. 162 19.) 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: NO. 106: Sec. 12940. Whoever, both 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 alike to all citizens and regardless of race the will full enjoyment of the accommodations. Facilities 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 five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or son 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!

Mrs. Irene Ross purchased a pair of shoes, last week, in a Jewish shoe store in Woodland Ave. near E. 40th St. with the understanding that she could return them, if they did not fit and get her money. The shoes did not fit.

With the current issue of the Cleveland Gazette it enters upon its forty-seventh year of continuous publication, which is a most credible achievement. There may be other papers which contended with consistency for the rights of the race but surely none have been more persistent and courageous than has been our esteemed contemporary. Hon. Harry C. Smith has reason to feel proud of the record he has made and he has our best wishes for a successful career, much more in harmony with the sacrifices he has made, and the efforts he has given in the interest of our people. —Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. Geo. E. O'Neill, new proprietor of The Irene Hotel, 3518 Prospect Ave., is offering every modern hotel accommodation. Private bath and telephone service in each room. This is exceptional for our hotels anywhere. One and two room suites at the hotel, O'Neill, who leased the hotel, a few years ago, is making a determined effort to cater to good people and has already succeeded in raising, very perceptibly, the standard of patronage his hotel enjoys. There certainly is and has been for several years a crying need of just such an hostelry here in Cleveland. The new proprietor of The Irene Hotel has already assisted by his splendid wife, for, our readers need have no hesitancy in recommending it to their friends and other good people. When Congressman Oscar DePriest was here, week before last, (to deliver an address at Mt. Zion Cong. church) a reception to be held in the Caterers' club rooms was arranged for Mrs. DePriest by Mrs. Usher and other guests. Quite a number of the invited guests assembled and waited in vain, several hours, for the coming of the Congressman's wife. During this period, information was brot to the club rooms to the effect that Mrs. DePriest and others were being entertained at dinner at the residence of Ex-Councilman Tom and Mrs. Lethia Chandler who dismayed a more or less acrimonious discussion in which a number of the ladies, assembled in the Caterers' club rooms, participated. No authentic explanation of Mrs. DePriest's failure to materialize at the reception has as yet reached The Gazette. Her non-appearance was a most unfortunate and socially distressing incident which Chandler was not really concerned, most keenly regret. Current rumor has it that Mrs. DePriest said that she had not been informed of the reception.

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 sees injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it.

(No less interesting than the furs themselves are the odd and diverse ways in which they are manipulated In the flat furs, particularly, one is impressed with fashlon’s trend to- ward novelty. So many of the thin, supple furs are stylized with clever low exploits the all-over braided effect Again fashion sponsors the cloche. ‘The one in the picture is one of those casual, informal felts, Just such as should occupy a niche in every well equipped wardrobe of hats. One may imagine it in any color which suits best. for as said before, hats repeat the color of the frock or coat with which they are worn. A very Interesting color phase whieh fs being made much of in the initial fall displays is that of vivid tones Bt-color, tricolor and multi-color themes are worked out with consum mate art both in felts and velvets First in the color procession come browns in solids or combined with stunning yellows, tangerine and cap ucine sbades. Wine shades and old fashioned plum color play close sec onds. Quite a flair for greens, too, es pecially rich dark tones. Such con trasts are featured as navy with pink felt, black with white, also black with apple green.

Reports by the state tratfie patrol- men show that violation of the “keep to the right” rule is very general, and they have spent a large portion of thelr time cautioning drivers and call- Ing attention to the danger in break- Ing this rule. Drivers Hug Road Center, “The tendency of a large number of drivers is to hug the center of the road, but on state highways this is both dangerous and unnecessary,” Mr. Brown says. “On the old type 18-foot pavements, if you drove with your left wheels two fect outside the center ‘line, you still have two feet between your right wheels and the outer edge of the concrete. On the 20-foot pave- ‘ments and the gravel roads you have still more room. /Metwvhere there is no traffic appronch- ing, it may seem harmless to drive in te tidale of the road, but it 1s Just as easy to keep to the right. It is a good habit to acquire. If your right wheels should get outside the pave- ment or the gravel, nothing serious will happen, but if you go over the center line and meet some one who is doing the same thing, an accident is Inevitable. If drivers will keep to the right except when passing other cars, not pass cars unless the left side 1s free from oncoming cars for a safe distance ahead, and not pass cars on turns, at crossings, on the crest of a hill, or other places where the view Is obstructed, half of our highway ac- ‘eidents could be avoided.” Few Arrests Made. Only a few arrests have been made by the state patrolmen since they went on the road. Driving without license plates, driving with licenses covered by luggage or bumpers, parking on pavements, failure to stop at arterial highways, and driving with loads which exceed the size limits fixed by law, are among violations frequently encountered, but so far no arrests have been made for any such offenses. Eight men make up the first squad of state patrolmen and the full quota of 35 allowed by law will not be reached until next spring. The men will alternate their time between highways in various parts of the state. All wear uniforms of dark gray whip- cord and carry revolvers. Besides the regular traffic officers insignia they have the words “Minnesota Highway- State Patrol” in large yellow letters on the right shoulder. ‘The law-abiding driver who com mits a minor infraction of the traffic law need have no fear when he sees ‘one of these men pull up beside him, according to Mr. Brown. ‘They are on the road to help him trayel safely, and not to make trouble for him. Arrests will be made only for serious delib- ‘erate violations of the traffic act. Unusual Warning Signs Now Displayed on Roads From time to time one hears eriti- cism of the effectiveness of the con- ventional warning signs. Drivers, it is objected, have become so accustomed to them ‘that they no longer pay heed to the cautionary injunctions they dis- play. ‘These critics should be pleased with the original and novel note struck by experiments carried on by the traffic authorities of Detroit. ‘They have en- deavored to inject emphasis into their warning sign system, and have de signed two unusual types. ‘Tho on? ts a skull and crossbones warning for safety zones. ‘The skull and crossbones are illuminated in a flaming neon red. Surmounting it 1s an amber caution light with two more amber lights beneath. ‘The other novelty {s the rubber lady. It carries an amber reflector at the waistline and a red reflector above the hem of the woman's skirt, Its resill- ence permits it to be knocked down and resume an upright position imme- diately.

People drive by habit instead of by Judgment of distance, he asserts, and in consquence the better known routes are choked with traffic that should be moving on shorter and partly deserted byways. In Boston, he explains, more than 20 per cent of the people in ‘Tremont street could take a shorter route, but, either from custom or because they follow the traffic, they pour down into the most densely congested part of the city.

FIRST COMMUNITY CHURCH. lis $55,000 Home—Dr, W. A. Byrd Leading in a Wonderful Work —The Chamber of Com- Jersey City, N. J.—The First Community church, of Jersey City, N. J., has been organized and incor- porated according to the laws of the State of Ntw Jersey. It has pur- chased the property of the Evangell- cal Lutheran church, corner of Com- munipaw Ave. and’ Woodward St This property was bargained for the Polish Catholic church, at a price of fifty-five thousand doilars, but ow- ing to its being within the diocese of Monsicnor Mohan of Lafayette section thig church could not enter. The First Community church then took over the property. ‘The com- mittee that purchased it for the church consisted of James W. Cus- herd, 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 it- self to propagating community re- ligion. It will endeavor to upllit our people without regard to creeds. Em- phasis will be placed on living the present life well and usefully. 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 so- cial contact, reducing tho 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 form of religion and life that whites of the north deplore in the south, they are permitting at their doors in the north and instead of having a sympathetic attitude one of indif- ference 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 rever- ence for God. (b) Faithful follow- ing in the footsteps of Christ in do- ing good. (c) Helpig people to live well now, leaving the hereafter to Him who made both the present and the hereafter. (d) Encouraging education and enlightened civiliza- tion. (e) Helping men and women to enjoy the present by making the proper ‘use of all things that make for uplift and happiness, and (1) making christianity conform to the example of its great Founder and Master. To this program the chureh invites all persons that want to de- velop their talents so as to give back to the Master a profitable return on what He gave them. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd 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.
