The outside appearance of this hotel was attractive, but here we found the worst place we had ever been in.

Memphis, Tenn. — The bodies of eight of our children were taken from the ruins of the Industrial Settlement House which burned down, last week. All less than six years of age. They were victims of the "jim-crow" laws of the South which apply even to orphan and so-called "charitable" industrial homes for children. The scattered few homes provided for our children in this state are all fire-traps, wooden, dilapidated buildings, and this is the kind of building in which our children here were trapped and burned to death. The home was overcrowded, housing 88 children. Some of the dead children are believed to have been trampled to death in the rush for the few exits from the old building. THE CLEVELAND GAZETTE. Into the 47th year of its existence has entered The Cleveland Gazette, that famous child of a more famous father. The sire, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, has never to our knowledge, permitted his great paper to wander from the straight and narrow pathway of "race rights". He has hewed to the line regardless of the ultimate destination of the dying chips. He not wavied but beaten when What has? We have not always agreed with him! Who has? We have though, ever been willing to concede, that sincerity was at the foundation of his expressions or actions. Many papers, far greater in size, might well envy the blazing courage, fiery loyalty and uncompromising attitude shown by The Gazette, this 47 year old veteran of many brusling battles. Long man's banner wave, and long man's editor, possession of virtue, valor and virility.—W. P. Dabney, editor Cincinnati (O.) Union. TURN DOWN COLOR-LINE Again in the Spanish-American War Veterans' National Encampment. Denver, Colo.—Taking a direct slap at an effort made by one Spanish-American war veterans camp in the Washington-Alaska department to limit its membership to whites and criticizing conditions in many of the government hospitals and soldiers' homes throughout the county, the annual report of the officers of the U. S. A. W. V., was placed in the hands of thousands of delegates at the national encampment here. Monday. The slap was in the report of the national judge, who issued the H rule, by law of the camp excluding as members all persons not "white" was null and void and quoted a decision to the same effect of a former judge advocate general. ANOTHER VETERAN WORKER Of the Local Community Fund Hon the Community Activity Its Inception Activities, Grants Mrs. Cornelia F., wife of Dr. James K. Nickens, E. 83rd St., recently appointed vice-chairman of section 10 in the Community Fund metropolitan division by Mrs. C. E. Harris, E. 89th St., chairman, is one of the oldest workers in philanthropic campaigning in Cleveland. In 1912 seven years before the inception of Mrs. James K. Nickens. the Community Fund, she started as a solicitor for the Cleveland Federation for Charity and Philanthropy. Year after year she has given her time and energy to help make Cleveland a healthier and happier city. When the Community Fund system of financing charity was inaugurated in 1919, Mrs. Nickens was one of the few experienced workers on whom leaders could depend. She was made a team captain. This year she will be a section vice-chairman whose duties are to appoint team captains and team workers. Mrs. Nickens has kept co-operative vindication bearing on every campaign in she has participated. Not only in soliciting of funds has she been active. She is treasurer of the board of trustees of our Home for the Aged, 4807 Cedar Ave., and has served as president and secretary of the same institution. She is prominent in activities of the P. W. A. and a member of the Welfare Federation budget subcommittee on adult institutions. Recently when discussing her appointment, Mrs. Nickens said: "Sometimes I become tired from the effort required to perform my work, but I am not tired of people who give so much of their time to the Community Fund, I feel that I am doing very little." Kenneth Sturges, general manager of the Fund, when told of the appointment said: "It is the constant effort and undying spirit of volunteers like Mrs. Nickens which has made Cleveland's greatest civic enterprise, the Community Fund, a success." EARNINGS NEAR $150,000! "Kid Chocolate" Climbed to the Top in Two Years - Ihas Never Beaten New York City—Kid Chocolate the Afro-Cuban who drew $50 for his first boxing match here two years ago, pulled down $44,662 for fighting Al Sanger for the championship at the Polo Grounds, recently. And that isn't all. Kid Chocolate has earned $145,000 in this country in boxing purses since 1927. When he came here he was bantamweight champion of Cuba and winner of 21 straight knockouts as a professional. In Havana, Cuba, he had received $600 for his last bout. In New York, he was willing to start in a small way. How far he has gone can best be attested by the proud boast of his manager Luis Gutierrez, who declares that Chocolate has fought 150 battles without losing a single one. Additional Local Mrs. Mamie Jackson, president of the N. O. Baptist convention, is in Youngstown, today, presiding over its sessions; while Miss Anita Bolden, also of this city, is there to function as the principal speaker of the convention. Miss Bolden is an African missionary, returning to Cleveland, several months ago, to visit her parents and other relatives. The City Council finance committee decided. Monday to recommend that he hold a meeting. Mr. Bolden said $2,000 for his services in leading the rescue work immediately following the Crib Disaster in 1916. This recommendation will be considered by the Council at its meeting, Sept. 23. Councilman Herman H. Finkle, who has lead the fight for Morgan, said he felt that the latter was entitled to $5,000 but that he was willing to compromise on $2,000. This, because he realized that it was that or nothing. City Manager Wm. R. W. Finkle, who was the while Law Director Carl F. Shuler, Mayor John D. Marshall and Mayo Fesler, director of the Citizens' League, opposed it. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SOUTHERN JUSTICE. When a Negro defendant stands before it, southern justice operates frequently in a manner to show that the attitude of the whites toward the blacks in that section of the nation changes but little as the years go by. In Tennessee the other day, a Negro against whom three women witnesses admitted that they had testified falsely, was convicted by a jury and sentenced to ten years in prison on the charge of attacking a man who had testified the jury found the man guilty after two attempts had been assisting the state in the prosecution withdrew from the case and announced that they believed him innocent on the ground that the complainant and her two grand-daughters had testified falsely. A fifty-year old woman brought the charge. She testified that he attacked her in her home and that he would not dismiss the case, he would not dismiss the jury to decide" The presiding judge to instructed the jury that he would not consider a verdict that carried the death penalty. It took the jury less than a half hour to find the defendant a guilty. This is a too common sample of southern justice when a Negro is the defendant. With three grand-daughters, including the alleged victim, the they lied and with a relative of the plaintiff testifying that the latter was considered feeble-minded, a jury of gallant southerners finds that it can bring in a finding of guilty. The attorneys who withdrew from the case openly said that it had all the aspects of a frame-up. But the jury was bound to do its duty as it saw it and that was to find the Negro who had the alleged victim had even said on that occasion in some doubt as to whether or not the defendant was actually the man who attacked her the jury might still have brought in the same kind of a verdict. — Springfield (Mass.) Union, Aug. 27, '29. LEAVE BOTH HOTELS When the Color-Line Was Drawn Advocate Full Equality—Organize New Trade Union Center Big Corporation During the recent Trade Union Educational League convention, held in this city, white delegates left the Hotel Inn and Kennard Hotel because our delegates were refused accommodation there, it is said. Otto Hall, "head of the T. U. E. L. Negro department, and Geo. Radmore of the American Negro Labor Conference", conspicuous in the convention's proceedings, should see that the institutions are instituted against the Hotel Inn and Kennard Hotel under our Ohio Civil Rights Law, for the denial of citizen rights alleged. The program of the new Trade Union Center, organized in the convention, calls for full social, political and racial equality for our workers. This explains white delegates leaving the color-line hotels referred to. The Center is contending for the abolition of the color-line in the old A. F. of L. unions and for equal pay for equal work, etc. It taken the name, and calls on all workers to join him in the white ruling class. Six of our workers were elected to the national committee of the new trade union organization, two to the executive board, one of whom will be one of the four national officers of the new trade union center. About fifty of the 500 delegates to the convention were Afro-Americans, among the numbers being Wm. Boye, a vice-president of the National Miners' Union which is affiliated with the new trade union center. Boye was the first African-American and another Afro-American miner, Isaiah Hawkins, presided over the convention the closing day. Wm. Z. Foster (white), well-known labor leader, was elected national secretary. J. W. Ford was elected a national organizer for the T. U. U. L. U. S. HAS ONLY "COLOR LINE". Arrow, England. — The United States was the only nation not to be represented here even in part by its colored as well as by its white Boy Scouts. Just recently the great meeting that brought together 50,000 scouts, representing 42 nations, from the four corners of the earth to Arrow Park, Birkenhead, came to an end. There were whole scout troops of colored boys from Nigeria, Gambia, Gold Coast and Sierra Leone, Asia, British West Indies, South Africa, and sent by colored lads. On the treaties or at the hotels where they stopped, colored boy scouts were received with good fellowship and kindness as were all other youngsters. 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 NEWSLEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS MIX! (EDITORIAL) PASTOR BROWN'S DISMAL FAILURE. When Rev. Russell S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, was selected by the head of the local Republican organization to succeed Ex-Councilman Tom Fleming, some months ago, on the suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, it was generally understood that the selection was made with the understanding that he (Brown) would resign as soon as Fleming was relieved of his court-trouble in order to permit the latter to be returned promptly to the City Council. At that time, it was expected that Fleming would easily and quickly be gotten out of the "Oehme" trouble. But this has not proved to be the case. To remain in the Council after the first of the year, it would under which they forcible candidate, at this fall's election. In a lengthy statement at the quarterly meeting of the church, last week Wednesday evening, he told why he cannot be a candidate, saying: "I do not believe that ministers and doctors can give very much of their time to politics. The physicians and dentists are like the clergymen—the needs of their people's bodies and souls are as important as the needs of their community. I believe my best opportunities for community service lay in church and service center work". Soon after his election to the Council, we told Mr. Brown that he had made a mistake and that he should have held his ministerial calling too high to stoop to such questionable politics as membership in the City Council entails. Of course, he could not see this, being inexperienced, particularly in local politics, and still a comparatively young man. His membership in the Cleveland City Council has been a great disappointment in every way to the great mass of our people in this community. He has attempted little and accomplished nothing. Outside of the Council, in politics, he has been even a greater disappointment to our people. He had hardly gotten into the Council before he provided a grievous disappointment to the head of the organization. The first and about the only thing he did was to introduce a resolution of inquiry, asking Color-line City Manager Hopkins for information relative to the segregation at the City Hospital, only to let it lay dormant in a Council committee for months, where it is still resting. Councilman Horn has kept up his work. He has been more organized, the support from Color-line City Manager Hopkins and his manager-plan, and in the face of the unified opposition of all of our people of this community, marshalled for "the man and the plan" those twelve minister round-robin signers and their four accessions during the special election campaign. Voluble, inconsistent, disloyal to vital interests of our people, anything but deserved. And more clearly bright to the case, the enlightenment of this community by Brown's brief membership in the City Council. No wonder the membership of Mt. Zion Cong. church is rapidly disintegrating. A number of the leading members, his staunch supporters prior to his recent mediocre and unfortunate public political career, and withdrawing their drawn and are withdrawing their church, it is said. Whether Brown is to remain as pastor of the church is a question which only the coming months can answer. One thing sure and that is, he plainly sees that it is high time to cease his political activity if he desires to remain as pastor of the church. As usual, our people of this community, which includes Mt. Zion Cong. church members of course, are the sufferers as a result of his membership in the Cleveland City Council and other political activity of recent years. C. S. Smith The Killed and Wounded. Baltimore. Md.-Arthur Henderson, British foreign minister, told the League of Nations, last week, that Palestine rioting killed 83 Mohammedans, four Christians, 109 Jews. In addition, 122 Mohammedans, 10 Christians and 183 Jews are in hospitals, wounded. Henderson says the disorders have been quelled. Preparing for Another Riot Chicago, Ill.—In an editorial, that appeared in last week Monday's Chicago Tribune, our people are advised and practically warned to keep away from Jackson Park bathing beach and to heed the threats of white chauvinists. Of course, they won't do it and should not! Mrs. Mary Brown Martin, wife of Atty. Alex. H. Martin, our candidate for member of the school board, filed her nomination petition, last week Friday. She is a former public-school teacher and thoroly competent for the position. We are entitled to representation on the board but will not get it unless we unite, register and vote solidly for Mrs. Martin as we should.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1929 Projudiced Americans who have been trying ever since the World War (and failed) to establish color lines in Havana, Cuba; Paris, France, and other European cities have finally succeeded in doing so in several hotels in London, England. However, the British government is investigating and it is hoped is still broad and big enough to wipe it out. --- The large number of empty stores rooms and houses for rent, and thousands of men out of work in this city, at this time, simply make ridiculous the publication in the local daily papers, the past week, which stated that "employment here was at its peak" and that "a business survey indicates 1929 to be the banner year". Such publications only "aggravate" the situation. --- Dr. O. A. Childress, chairman of the Mary B. Martin for school-board committee, which met Thursday evening, announces satisfactory progress. All of our people should be interested in the laudable effort to secure much-needed representation on the local school-board. And we are not going to get it unless we work and vote solidly for Mrs. Martin. It is our duty to do so! --- Irvin C. Mollison, secretary of our National Bar Association, writes The Gazette that the Association is seeking the aid of the two national Baptist conventions "in a determined fight against segregation, discrimination and oppression of our group". Why seek the aid of only these two conventions? Why not include all of our other Church connections and the race press, "Brother" Mollison? Such a combination would surely produce big results. --- The Board of Elections has called upon the local Progressive Government committee to file with it an additional report requiring every one who received more than $10 for distribution among workers, during the recent campaign, to file an accounting of how the money was spent. This ought to prove interesting to Dwight Williams, Rev. Russell S. Brown, Rev. C. C. Ailer and others of our manager plan advocates of a few weeks ago. The old St. Luke Hospital property, at E. 66th St. and Carnegie Ave., has been taken over by a number of doctors (white) who will operate it as the Polyclinic Hospital to be opened Nov. 1. '29; Dr. F. J Vokoun, secretary. Unlike our "jim-crow" hospital advocates (nearly all doctors), they did not ask for public funds for a hospital. The "Negro" doctors should follow the example set by those establishing The Polyclinic Hospital and not try to drive all of our people out of the other hospitals of the city and into their make shift, a "jim-crow" East Side Branch of the City Hospital. "THE AMENDE HONORABLE". It takes a bigger (meaning broader, mentally) and better man to publicly retract a misstatement or unjust criticism than it does to make an incorrect statement about a person, or criticise one unjustly. When Police Judge Joseph F. Sawicki delivered from the bench criticism of Atty. Clayborne George, recently, he thot he was right. Last week, he found that he was wrong and immediately made such announcement in the daily press as he could in an effort to undo any harm his unjust criticism may have done Councilman George. Right there is where Judge Sawicki improved his standing in the minds of thousands of disinterested persons in this community who are not well acquainted with him. We are free to admit that he has gained materially in our estimation, and we were interested, because of his exhibition of fairness referred to in WE'RE ALL SET FOR GOIN' SWIMMIN', SEE THAT STRING? THE OTHER END'S 'TIED TO MY BATHIN SUIT UP IN MY ROOM, I CAN GET IT EASY BY PULLIN' ON THE STRING the foregoing. Mr. George is a candidate in the fourth district for reelection to the City Council and just at this time such criticism from any of our judges would undoubtedly harm him most. Our people as well as others of the fourth district should ever keep in mind the fact that Councilman George was most active in his support of the Charter Amendment and for that reason, if for no other, they should give him their undivided and the heartiest support. His loyalty to the race as exemplified in his opposition to Color-line City Manager Hopkins and the miserable manager plan entitle him to this beyond all question or doubt. GREGG AND GEORGE. Councilman E. J. Gregg, throut his term as a member of the city's law-making body, has been so insistent in his effort to drive our people out of the hospitals of the city and into a "jim-crow" affair that there ought not to be any question as to his defeat at the fall election. His effort during the recent campaign to "straddle" the manager plan-charter amendment issue, at least so far as to apparently be very passive in his support of the former and inactive toward the latter, is additional reason why he should not again be elected to the City Council. Therefore, do not vote for Gregg and urge your friends and acquaintances to follow your example. Our people of the fourth district should not permit the daily newspapers to array them against the candidacy of Councilman Clayborne George and in favor of the candidacy of Chester K. Gillespie who made the mistake during the recent campaign of allying himself with Color-line City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and the miserable manager plan. No member of the race who endorsed the Hopkins segregation and discrimination at the City Hospital by giving him his support in the recent campaign could be other than disloyal to vital interests of his own people in this community and, therefore, must forfeit the support of the loyal for a position of any kind, at this time. As far as Councilman George's candidacy is concerned, make up your mind as to what you are going to do without permitting it to be influenced in any way by the pro-manager plan daily newspapers or others of its supporters. ANOTHER KENT MURDER Last week Wednesday, the body of an unidentified "Negro" was found at the Baltimore and Ohio railroad crossing on the Kent-Ravenna road about two miles from Kent. The man's head had been crushed. About four years ago, the same thing occurred, but almost in the heart of Kent. The "county crooner investigated" just as he is doing in this latest case and that was all there was "to it". Kent is lousy with members of the Ku Klux Klan which undoubtedly also explains this latest brutal murder. We would call upon Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper for a state investigation of these killings, if we thot he did not feel more friendly toward the Klan than toward our people. "LILY-WHITE"? At the last Republican national convention, held in Kansas City, Mo., the question of filling the Georgia committeeman vacancy was sidetracked, altho Joseph H. Watson of Albany, a member of the race, had received a majority vote of the Georgia delegation, to succeed Ben Davis of Atlanta who had succeeded Henry Lincoln Johnson (deceased) of the same city, as Republican national committeemen, for Georgia. Under the Hoover administration, Republican control in that state has been placed in the hands of an advisory committee (white), named by Postmaster-General Walter Brown of Toledo, O. The national committee, which met Monday at the nation's capital, was expected to seat Mr. Watson but failed to do so, doubtless on the suggestion of the Hon. Claudius Huston of Tennessee, the new chairman. It does look as if Republican national control has gone "ily-white", sure enough! TUBBY THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1929. GET WISE TO IT CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced.

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and You I and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? 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 400 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guits.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription 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 OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C.

(93 v. 12 5. 1) Section 6282.

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.

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: BBS. ed. representative of victim of lynchming by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. must another county. 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.) A lynching in 2838 carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 CVIL 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 pro- priate employee keeper or manager of an in- struction or manufacturing house, barber-shop, 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilit- ation, and services afforded, is financed 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 hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved, and 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!

'26. The Luna Park company is unable to pay its creditors and a sherif's sale of the park property is threatened, said Union Trust Co.'s attorney, F. K. Pleiering, Tuesday. When James V. Peterson, E. 123d St., went into the Belle Restaurant, in Superior Ave., two doors east of the 3rd St., one day last week, he was charged with a color or race, or both. The restaurant, it seems, is run by foreigners. This is the second case of the kind we have heard of and we think it about time the proprietor of that place was introduced to a civil rights case. Encourage Peterson to do his duty in this matter, if you know him. There is an attempt to extradite to Georgia, Eugene Patterson of this city, charged with assault with intent to kill in Georgia before he came to Ohio. Patterson has been a law-abiding citizen of Ohio, eight years. The charge is trumped up; the ally former Georgia employer vowed to "get him" for leaving Georgia. The alleged victim of assault has written letters confirming the fact that no harm was done him.

Lawyers for George Hinton, until recently in charge of the officework of the Cleveland People's Finance Corporation, secured a second post-ponement of his case in Municipal Court, recently. The original hearing, set for Aug. 12, was postponed to Aug. 30. On that date his lawyers secured another postponement to Sept. 13. A local firm has conducted a detailed audit of the Fin-ance Corporation and has promoted member of the company (corporation) informs The Gazette that Hinton has offered to make good any shortage, if there be any, and that all "will come out O. K." Another suit against color-line Luna Park Amusement Co., asking for foreclosure of a second mortgage on the park property and a receiver was filed, Saturday, in common pleas court by the Guardian Trust Co. The suit claims that the park owes the bank $60,000, which it borrowed on Jan. 11, 1929. In asking for a receiver the bank points out that sevenground parking bears a bill against the park and that unless a receiver is appointed the bank may lose the money it has loaned. The park property, on which the bank holds a mortgage, is at Woodhill Rd. and Woodland Ave. Our National Association of Musicians which met in Ft. Worth, Tex., week before last, left a wonderfully fine impression upon all there without reference to race or group. Thursday's program of that week, was participated in by Loula Vaughn Jones, violinist, and Marguerite Sanford, his accompanist, of Cleveland, both of whom made splendid showings and acquitted themselves in fine style. They also participated in a program rendered the following day at noon in Texas Hotel, Ft. Worth, before 300 members (white) of the Rotary Club of that city which served the Lion-Hearted Hank. Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Randolph 5870 Sundays by Appointment program participants luncheon at the hotel. The association's meeting, next year, will be held in Chicago. Atty. Leroy Godman of Columbus was on the association's program for a speech the first day of the convention. 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. 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 anyway. One and two room suites at modern hotels are leased the hotel, a few months 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 by the new proprietor of The Irene Hotel is being assisted by his splendid wife. Therefore, our readers need have no hesitancy in recommending it to their friends and other good people. Finance Director Rusk announced, last week Thursday, he would recommend that city council levy taxes for city purposes up to the full 10.5 mills limit, if authority to do so is granted by passage of a charter amendment at the November election. Rusk estimates that the levy would yield only about $700,000 more than the city's budget for the current year and that much of this would be used by operating increases in hospital additions and hospital additions are put into service. Color-line City Manager Hopkins solicited support for the amendment authorizing the 10.5 mill levy when he spoke, this week, before the Association of Building Owners and Managers. We should vote against the amendment and help to kill the effort to establish Gregg's "jim-crow" east side branch of the City Hospital. And do not make the mistake of voting for Councilman Gregg, As announced in the *Gazette*, two weeks ago, Atty. Chester K. Gillespie has filed suit in Municipal Court (on Sept. 4, '29) for Robert Carter and Frank McRae, 7303 Cedar Ave., against the Greyhound Bus Lines, 2129 E. 9th St., for violation of their civil rights, each asking $500 damages, because, they they had secured tickets to the Greyhound to Atlantic City, employees the bus line told them that if they wanted to ride in the bus, they would have "to take rear seat because this was the only place provided for colored people and it was in harmony with the sentiment of their white patrons"." these employees and the bus line operators will soon learn better. The suits were filed under Gillepie, a candidate for the City Council in the fourth district, has for several years been vigorously and successfully fighting companies and persons who violate this law.

The frock in the picture eloquently bespakes the trend to strong contrasts which is so emphasized in incoming modes. This fetching model has a red and blue printed top, which is ingeniously seamed to a navy blue rayon skirt. Instances of half-in-half fabric treatments are repeated throughout the advance style program. A favorite maneuver is to join a circular flounce of plain fabric to a long slender, fitted princess top of gay colored print completing the idea with a graceful cape collar of the plain. In this connection it may be well to remark upon the increasing interest shown for dresses which adopt molded princess lines at the top which develop into smartly contrasting flares about the knees. There is no doubt DOTS, PLAIDS, CHE CHALLENGE GA WOMEN sensitive to the subtle changes which mark the progress of fashion are choosing polka dots, stripes, plaids and checks rather than floral prints for fall. Weaves of every description lay stress on these patternings. Such interesting novelties are highlighted as plaid velvets, plaid satins and plaid taffetas. Jacket suits of plaid velvet with tailored satin for the blouse, are among the joys in prospect, also for smart semiformal daytime dresses of either plaid satin or taffeta. Satin plaid in blended colors being much newer than taffeta one naturally feels a more spontaneous urge to make it first choice. Satin back silk moire overprinted with a variation of a plaid makes its appearance among dressy fabrics. For sports wear jersey, flannel, crepe and sheer woolens also reflect the influence of dotted, plaided and striped themes. Younger matrons and girls are especially keen about jacket suits made up of patterned sports fabrics which accounts for the attractive sports costume of a printed crepe of dot motif which youthful and ever-smiling Barbara Kent presence "between acts" when her presence is not demanded before the movie camera. A jacket suit of this character is well tuned to autumn needs. A further point of interest stressed in this attractive suit is the use of bows. To live up to the mode of the Don't T But Give it about it the dawn of an entirely different silhouette is at hand. As to aforementioned color contrasts which feature print versus plain, perhaps in no direction is this vogue so persistent as in the fall jacket-suits and ensembles. The new materials especially encourage such fabric manipulation as a plaid velvet skirt and jacket with a satin waistcoat or a striped jersey blouse with a tweed-like jersey suit. Perfectly stunning frocks work printed plaid satin together with plain, for plaids and stripes expressed in terms of satin are the last word in the fabric realm. For dressy afternoon wear a blouse of the new metal dotted chiffon contrasts handsomely with a black velvet suit. Georgette semi-fitted frocks are frequently enriched with flares and even plaited floures of transparent velvet in the new daytime modes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1929, Western Newspaper Union. CKS AND STRIPES Y FLOWERY PRINTS moment one cannot escape bows. The jacket in the picture fastens with bow ties—two of them. Bows which tie are especially featured in connection with yokes, the necklines of the new frocks often being thus stylized. Then, too, the blouse which ties at the left hip with a soft bow occurs throughout advance displays. Whole flocks of little bows are used for trimming the new modes, which answer the call for "dressmaker" touches even on semi-tailored garments. Referring again to stripes, plaids and dots not only do they flourish in the very fabrics which fashion the dress or ensemble, but they often add an accessory touch. That is the hat, the scarf, the bag, subscribes to their design. According to all reports fabric hats which contribute to the ensemble costume are diverting the talent of French milliners to a new line of endeavor, and for these types very novel weaves are employed.

An average of $233 was spent by each autist in the United States during 1928 in the operation and maintenance of his car, according to figures compiled by the American Motorists' association, in co-operation with the Automobile Club of Illinois. Of this sum, $101, or 34 per cent, was expended for fuel and lubricants, this being the largest item in the autist's annual operation and maintenance bill. Cost $11.14, per Day. The $293 figure does not take into account depreciation. The average life of a passenger automobile, according to computation of the federal government, is approximately seven years. During 1928 the average retail price of passenger cars in the United States was $875, which based on a seven-year life expectancy, would mean an average depreciation of $125 per year. From this figure, plus the average upkeep cost of $293, it will be seen that the general average cost of operation, plus depreciation, was $418 per year, or approximately $114 per day. The comparable figure for 1927 shows that the average cost of operation, plus depreciation, was $365 for that year, or $1 per day. The second largest item on the autoist's maintenance bill is for labor incident to repair work, the autoist expending in 1928, for this item, an average of $82. His replacement parts cost him $55, while his average tire bill, during the year, was $34. An average of $21 was expended for accessories, which with the $101 spent for gasoline and oil, make up the total of $293 as the average cost of maintenance for each motor vehicle for 1928. Comparing Cost. Comparing the cost of operation in 1928 and 1927 the association's figures show that last year the cost was 28 per cent more than during 1927, when the average operation cost was $229. Comparative figures, between the two years, however, it is pointed out by SJ Mayer, president of the Automobile Club of Illinois and vice president of the A. M. A., do not indicate that operation costs are necessarily increasing, the difference being explained primarily by the fact that with better highways available each year the average autoist uses his automobile proportionately more. Change in Automobile Front Is Now Advised Because of the high mortality of pedestrians being hit by automobiles, Dr. Timothy Leary, medical examiner of Suffolk county, Massachusetts, suggests that the front of the present motor car be changed so that it would not mean death to every human being who came into its path. He says the victims of skull fractures who do not die frequently show mental deterioration, sometimes with a complete change in character, and may be converted from intelligent, capable characters into inefficient semi-invalids, Crippling injuries other than those due to skull fractures add to the indictment. Cooling Fluid Favored for New Motor Vehicle There is a chance that when the automotive engineer starts thinking seriously of reducing wind resistance in the design of the car, one of his first thoughts will concern the new cooling fluid developed for airplane engines of the water-cooled type. A tremendous reduction in the size of radiators for this type of plane engine has proved entirely feasible. That such an eventuality might come in motorodom is by no means out of the question. It will mean leaving the anti-freeze in the radiator the year around. Some motorists do it now, through indifference, not wisdom! (How Mgny Can You Answer?)

A. Luers, Washington, D. C., in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Practical Suggestions for Curing Sick Auto When a car lacks its usual snap and get-away, check for the following: Manifold gasket leaks. Improper valve clearance. Leaks past piston rings. Faulty carburetor adjustment; high or low float level. Shortage of fuel due to clogged line or screens. Fouled or improperly gapped spark plugs. Worn or improperly spaced breaker points. Early or late ignition timing. Dragging brakes. In practically every case loss of power and poor get-away are cured by attention to the above. Frank Nutt, research engineer, says. A wrong tilt of the front axle will cause hard steering and wheels to shimmy. Sticky valves and a lean mixture make a poor combination and often a dangerous one. Somehow we cannot see that equiping autos with radio is going to make driving any safer. A man never knows how careful he can be until he starts breaking in a new automobile or wearing a pair of white shoes. A jay-walker in an automobile-congested street ought to be grateful for the euphremis under which his case is ticketed at the hospital. The number of automobile tire casings increased in the United States from 6,600,000 in 1913 to 77,900,000 in 1928, the Rubber Manufacturers' association reports.

SIGNATURE DATE Use Soft Lead Pencil for Completing Application—Ink Blurs 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. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. 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 Cleveland 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 Lieut. 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 hiring colored employees. Olderman 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 "Negroos", especially the ministers, who were proselytized 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 officials of the American Agricultural Chemical Co., referred to in the foregoing. Lord, have mercy! 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
