New York City.—What is called in America the "Renaissance" of the "Negro" in the arts, and particularly in literature, is in reality a cultural movement of long standing, declares Lloyd Morris, author of The Rebellious Puritan and other books that is the New York Tribune. His essay dates in 1572 twenty years before the earliest published work of Shakespeare, the appearance of a book of Latin poems by Juan Latino, "Negro" professor at the University of Granada in Negroes have written in Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, German and Spanish", writing Mr. Harris. "Two writers with colored blood, Pushkin and Dumas, were among the most eminent of nineteenth century European men of letters. Frederic Marcelin, some of whose novels merit translation into English, with distinction of the life of Haiti. And the most celebrated of contemporary Brazilian writers of fiction, Machado de Assil, was a Negro". Mr. Morris traces the development of "Negro" writers in this country beginning with Jupiter Hammond, Phyllis Wheatley and the almanac-astronomer, Benjamin Baneker, "Negroes", continues Mr. Morris, who writes admirable books upon almost every subject subjects: folklore, sociology, criticism of the arts, history, embryology, African and Polar exploration, law, classical languages and literatures, and philosophy, among them." Among these works is the "only Creole grammar in English" which was written by a "Negro" scholar and though published in 1869, it yet unsupersed. Mr. Morris concludes: "The contemporary Negro 'Renalance' in the arts is making a significant and interesting contribution to our culture; there is no longer any doubt of that. But that it is a renaissance of anything more than our interest in the work of colored writers and artists is doubtful. The tradition and creative expression and of scholarship among the colored race is too old to be still considered new". COOPER'S "SOFT SOAP". Ohio's Color-Line Governor Passing Out a Little Political Hokum— Refuses Appointments But Gave a Pardon. London, O.—With 125 men, women and children, members and guests of the Master Farmers' club of Ohio, as interested emancipation celebration spectators, Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, late Sunday, as spectacularly as possible, personally gave a pardon from the London prison farm to Thomas Williams, age 48, a "Negro" inmate of the prison farm for the last ten years. Williams, serving a life term for murder, was called to the Negro Gov. Cooper, who reviewed his record and handed him the papers that made him once more a free man. What a "play" to the "Negro" gallery! Of course, the prisoner was almost unable to express his thanks to the chief executive of the state, so overjoyed was he to receive the pardon. Williams was sent up from Shelby County on April 28, 1916. He had been in the honor camp of the prison, and his card showed a perfect prison record for more than ten years. He will return to Alabama, his home state, to take care of his family of four children. His wife died after he entered the penitentiary. The South Behind. As Usual Raleigh, N. C.—The South not only lags behind other sections of the country in education, but refuses to face its own condition and continues to boast where it should experience shame, according to Dr. Edgard Knight (white), professor of education in North Carolina State University. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION! A Great Success—Large and Euthusiastic Audience—Splendid Music and Speaking—Beautiful Day Sandusky, O.—Sunday was a beautiful day for the long anticipated emancipation celebration, under the auspices of the local A. M. E. church, Rev. Chas. H. Young, pastor, ably assisted by Messrs. M. Thompson, Edward Bryant, James Long, Arthur Latimer and Thos. Cole. The court house lawn and surroundings, where the celebration held before his time of the year and the large crowd that assembled there, Sunday at 4 P. M., was exceptionally attentive, appreciative and enthusiastic. Dr. Young opened the program with prayer, read the martyred president, A b r a h m Lincoln's emancipation proclamation and his delightful Gettysburg speech. The large choir of his church, which by the way sings smoothly and beautifully, rendered several fine selections after which Rev. Young introduced Mr. Augustus Washington of Cleveland, an old classmate of Dr. Young, the speaker of the day, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, in a five minute-talk which was notable for its conciseness and appropriateness. For more than an hour, the editor held the large audience thorouly interested and enthusiastic, most of whom were compelled to stand through the exercises. Frequently, he was loudly applauded and at the close of his address a large number of both classes or groups, represented in the audience, pressed forward to shake his hand and thank him for one of the most practical and useful objections to the objection speeches they had over her. This was the consensus of opinion. The meeting closed with a short talk and benediction by Rev. Young, Mr. and Mrs. James Long entertained the editor of The Gazette at a delicious chicken dinner, Sunday, upon his arrival in the city, early in the afternoon. DE PRIEST HURLS DEFY AT HEFLIN. "Will See if Senator Is Big Enough to Throw Me Out". Seattle, Wash. — Ways and means of playing politics and getting "your share of the patronage was the theme of a talk given here, last Saturday night, by the Hon. Oscar De Priest, congressman, of Chicago, before our local Republican club. "Don't take pay as a campaign worker", he said; "if you are paid on or before election day, you can't go to a party council later and claim it still owes you something." Citing his own experience, as an example, he declared: HOWARD AND BOOZE TURNED DOWN FLAT Washington, D. C. — Republican National Committeeman Perry W. Howard and Republican National Committeewoman Mary C. Booze of Mississippi have been turned down by the Hoover administration when it comes to that state's federal payoffs and Lorem ipsum (white), who unsuccessfully opposed Howard's re-election in the Republican primaries and convention in Mississippi, as well as in the courts there, and at the Republican national convention, has been made the active head of Republican affairs in that state. President Hoover's managers the Republican nation are surely paving the way for his defeat, the next time he runs. Pastor Pays $1,000. Chicago, Ill.—The "Rev." J. Wesley Carter, 2659 Maypole Ave., accused by Nancy Brown, a junior in the normal college, of being the father of her unborn child, has resigned from Providence Baptist church, and paid $1,000 for the baby's support. She was organist of and an active member in the church. Carter was a frequent caller at the Brown home until five months ago when he married. Pastor Locked Out. Detroit, Mich.—Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago has been recalled here to settle matters in St. Paul A. M. E. church. The trustees have door locked against the Rev. W. E. Walker, pastor, for two years. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE OLD DEVIL AND "REV." BLACKSHEAR! Are “Buddies” Says Prof. Wm. Pickens Who Ridicules the Brooklyn “Cracker” Pastor’s Ban on “Negroes”—Some Mighty “Hot Shot”. New York City.—In an open letter, published, Sept. 20, in the New York Times, Prof. Wm. Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., makes merry over the banning of “Negroes” by Wm. S. Blackshear, Texas pastor of St. Matthews Protestant Episcopal church in Brooklyn. In his letter Mr. Pickens writes: “Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear: “According to an undeniable statement in the daily papers, you have announced during your last Sunday that you do not want any Negroes in your church. Even though many others will condemn you for that announcement, I have a truly ‘mixed emotion’ to thank you; for you can hardly realize what a relief and a peace that announcement will bring into my war-torn soul. You see, I live on Macon Street, just around the corner from your church. I can look out of my back window and see your heavenly spires towering, and I can hear your bells every time they ring for service, pass your church doors every day twice, go to work and turn in. I have done this for over a year now, and my conscience was sitting heavy upon me, because I had never entered your sacred portals even on a Sunday. my Bringing-Up. Those are three powerful allies, and sometimes me thought the struggle would soon go against my natural disposition to serve mermons and church ceremonies, especially among white people in America. But whenever I began to weaken and to yield to the respectable idea of going to church, the Devil, the ever-present ally of my lazy bones, would whisper to me in my bed of Sunday drowsiness: “Don’t go! They don’t really want you there. The preachers talk about ‘universal brotherhood’, but they are hypocrites and liars. They know that here lies an evil brotherhood for all men in 999 white American churches out of every 1000,—and this particular church is not the one left over out of the thousand, and it is not even the 999th. When such men speak of a Meek and Lowy芦 as their Example, they are just hypocrites, for they will be nothing but braggarts and bullies the moment you show up. Why, he wouldn’t let you go either to Heaven or to Hell thru church; if that were the only way you could to get out, you would just have to stay for an eternity in New York!” “Thus the Devil and the better self have had it, up and down—round and round. And such was "You see, you are the nearest road to heaven for me, and for fourteen months I have heathenishly refused to take it. On Sunday morning I went to the church, while my bones grew like lead in the bed. There was a great war within me, because of the way in which I was brought up. Every man has two selves, according to you preachers, and one of those selves told me to go to church and the other has just as stoutly taken my bones. I went to the bones, while with the other self fought Intelligence. Conscience, and "Jim-Crow Negro" and Blackshear. Whenever a "Negro branch" is established for hospital, school, church or "Y", it means that a few Negroes, having more ambition than brains, more cupidity than principle, have whispered to "De white folks that are more at home with each other". As a result the whites gladly meet them more than half way. It is strange that the House of God harbors such prejudice. If a similar condition prevails above, then the Negroes who do not belong to the Uncle Tom's club will select the best black people even in this world, the followers of Satan generally welcome the colored brother—Cincinnati (O.) Union, W. P. Dabney, editor. Yolande Du Bois-Contee Cullen. Baltimore, Md.—I think Mr. Cullen is a very nice man. He will always be considered one of the best friends I ever had. I hope he will always remain so". Thus spoke Mrs. Nina Yolande Du Bous Collum, daughter of Prof. W. E. B. Du Bols, and wife of Contee Cullen, the poet, bride of a year, who returned to Baltimore, recently, from France to resumber her duties as a teacher in the Booker Washington junior high school, after a year with her husband in Paris. Mr. Cullen still remains abroad, studying and writing, on a Guggenheim fellowship. Pullman Co.'s Large Profits The Pullman company reports a profit of $3,924,208 for the months of April. May and June, this year. This is a gain of nearly $200,000 over the previous three months. These profits are announced "after charges, depreciation, federal taxes, etc." This means that large amounts of income are set aside for various and after accountants exhaust their work and after concealing net income, profits are resisted efforts of the Pullman company is resistant efforts of our porters and maids to secure a living wage, rather than depend on tips.

Portland, Maine. — About thirty Afro-American veterans of the War of the Rebellion attended the recent annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held here, recently. All were over 80 years of age. Twenty-five marched in the parade, one of whom was "Col." Henry Singleton, age 94, a New York minister, who was married three days before coming the encampment, and brought his bride with him. Rev. Singleton is chaplain of the Army and Navy club of his state. 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.

Harry Wills failed to hear the bell at the end of his first bout with Andres Castano, recently, and kayed the Spanish heavyweight; so lost on a foul. Charles W. Price, clerk in the county treasurer's office at Dayton, Ohio, does NOT hold "the highest county position held by any Colored man in Ohio". Geo. Godrery, and Leonard Dixon (white), champion Pennsylvania heavy-weight, met in a feature bout at the Wicomico fair grounds in Salisbury, Md., Friday night, with the usual result. Rev. Geo. F. Bragg of Baltimore says the present turmoil between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine has developed the fact that the dark Arabs are facing race and religious prejudice of the white race backed by the wealth of foreign Jews.

President C. D. B. King of Liberia, W.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1929. America and not England is "the bulwark of color-prejudice and race hatred in the world", and England is only doing what it is said to be doing along this line in the city of London, at the behest of U. S. A. leaders of industry, finance, etc. --- A couple of years ago, when the editor insisted in The Gazette (and the local daily press) that Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry return the police to patrol duty in the "roaring third" precinct, his reply was that "police doing patrol duty was obsolete". Evidently, he has changed his mind since then because last week he announced that he had "returned the police to patrol duty" in that precinct. LERMOND VS. TOLAN Leo Lermond, another southern "cracker", representing the Boston A. A., and national one-mile champion, was the spokesman for the five American athletes in Germany, a few weeks ago, in addition to whom was "Eddie" Tolan, Michigan University's Afro-American star spinner, whom the Berlin newspapers styled "the fastest in the world" and made most over because of his outstanding victories abroad with said American athletes. Beside himself with jealousy, as a result of Eddie Tolan's great success and popularity, Lermond unbosomed himself of a prejudiced diatribe directed against Tolan which the Berlin, Germany newspapers thoroly ridiculed along with the damphool American prejudice he and others of his associates exhibited. After referring to Tolan as being "very intelligent and a student of the University of Michigan" the Berlin newspapers referred to Lermond as "merely a laborer, neither intelligent nor clever", and might have added that this fact was a prime cause of Lermond's coarse exhibition of prejudice and inferiority. The Berlin papers were frank to except Reginald ("Pete") Bowen, University of Pittsburgh quarter-mile champion, from the other American athletes of the Lermond type. WHOSE CHURCH IS IT? Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear, the young rector of St. Matthews P. E. church, Brooklyn, since June of this year, is the Texas "cracker" who is trying to drive from that church its few Afro-American members, and make it what he terms "a white church". In explanation he says: "I am a southerner and I do not believe in social equality for the Colored race". His superior officer in the Church, Bishop Ernest M. Stires of the diocese of Long Island, says: "It would be a pity if anything were said that would indicate that Negroes are unwelcome in the Episcopal Church. There is no general order of the Church to urge Negroes to attend Negro churches. That is a matter which each parish is permitted to decide for itself". Which means that Blackshear, or any other southern "cracker" rector in the north, can have his own way in this particular thing, as far as any parish is concerned they are placed at the head of. This is a fine (?) position to place the great Protestant Episcopal Church in, we must confess, and if Bishop Stires' sumup of the matter is correct, the Church's regard for principal, religious ethics, etc., is at a very low ebb, to say the least. Another characteristic expression of Blackshear's is as follows: "Frankly, I do not want Colored people in my church." Apparently it is his church, from his own as well as Bishop Stires' viewpoint, and not the property of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It is a fine commentary on the intelligence of this section when one young, coarse, southern "cracker" rector, fifty years behind the times, can enter the largest city in the North and in the country, and "get a away" with such a stunt as that and. too, in the great Protestant Episcopal Church of the northern part of the country! Lord, have mercy! OHIO'S COLOR-LINE GOVERNOR. Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper was sure busy, Sunday, making emancipation celebration speeches in Cincinnati and London where he addressed about 125 persons, men, women and children. His "emancipation day" activities were performed in a most spectacular way with the help of the daily press of the state, in a vain effort to win to his support Ohio Afro-Americans who would have none of him when he ran the first time and was defeated, and 'took less interest, if possible, in his second campaign when the large Ohio Hoover landslide swept him into office. For many years prior to his entrance into politics, Cooper was in the real estate business in Cincinnati where he demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of our people of that city, and the state of Ohio, his anti-"Negro" propensities, refusing to sell our people property and homes and endeavoring to drive others of the race from homes they had already purchased. He did these things in an effort to please the color or race prejudice, or both, of his community, and make money. That is why The Gazette has from the first continued its opposition to Cooper's candidacies for governor and will do so again when he stands for renomination and re-election. We believe he is a ku kluxer because of his anti-"Negro" activities not only in his home town, Cincinnati, for many years, but because of his failure or rather refusal to recognize our people with proper or really any worthwhile appointments since he became governor, a year ago last fall. His talk in Cincinnati, Sunday, of the "appointment of a commission of outstanding Colored people to consider ways and means to provide greater opportunities for the Colored man and to secure for him profitable employment, the commission to work under the department of education of the state" is buncombe and political hokum, pure and simple, and is not going to fool but very few of our people—some of the most ignorant and "jim-crow Negroes". Since becoming governor, Cooper has directly and indirectly made hundreds of appointments but not one worthwhile position has been given to our people. Of course, this does not surprise us and we are not calling attention to it for that reason because we did not expect him to do so. But we are calling attention to the fact only for the purpose of showing and proving that Color-line Real Estate Dealer Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati is running true to form as the color-line governor of the great state of Ohio. The Governor said in his speech, Sunday, that "the Colored man has a right to his chance, to his opportunity to make good". Sure he has, and we cannot understand why the present governor of Ohio refuses to acknowledge this in a practical way also instead of merely saying it. Again the governor said: "To discriminate against a people who are sincerely trying to get on in the world and to do their part as good citizens, is to make an outcry against justice and right". We know of no official in the state, from governor down to constable, who is making a louder "outcry against justice and right", just at this time, than Ohio's color-line governor, Myers Y. Cooper. No state official is doing so much to keep the Ohio "Negro" out of "a right to his chance, to his opportunity to make good in order that he may live respectably, rear his family in decency and comfort, and make of them what God designed they should become—decent, useful, self respecting citizens" as Gov. Cooper, because he has more "chances and opportunities" than any other official in the state for them to make good and withholds them. Yes, again quoting from the governor's emancipation speech in Cincinnati, Sunday: "We ought to take care of the American Negro and give him his chance", but "we" never will do so if we follow the precedent established by Colorline Gov. Myers Y. Cooper who steadfastly refuses to appoint a single "Negro" to a worthwhile position in his administration of the state's affairs. There will be no Hoover landslide to carry him into office, next time, and the Ohio Afro- THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.

Cooper's political buncombe and hekum, Sunday, will avail him nothing with our people. HAWKINS' MEMORANDUM. Before President Herbert Hoover took office, some six months ago, Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., director of the "jim-crow" division of the Republican National Committee, submitted a memorandum of 919 words to the President-elect saying that he spoke as "a humble representative of the Colored people of America" in calling his attention to certain "vital things" and urging the President-elect to give some consideration to them. Dr. Hawkins called attention to "disfranchisement in the South, the elimination of the Negro from party councils, racial discrimination in the civil service and segregation in government departments" at Wsahington, D. C. The President to date has "ignored the Hawkins memorandum but undoubtedly on his suggestion or at least with his consent, the Republican National Committee recently announced: "The Colored voters' division will become a permanent part of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Hawkins will have charge. He will be supplied with a budget". This undoubtedly will be all the answer Dr. Hawkins will receive to his "memorandum of 919 words to the President". And Hawkins and all the other "Negro" Republicans in the United States who supported President Hoover in the last national campaign will be found doing the same thing in the next, under the leadership of Dr. Hawkins and his "jim-crow" division of the Republican National Committee. That is one of the reasons why not only Republican leaders but very many people of the other group have little or no respect for the Hawkins kind of "Negroes" and their people. "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 line of duty, exposes it and, if possible, smiles. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND 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 over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today as a home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights; 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. SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1929 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. 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 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. 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. (938 v. 161.2.) Section 6279. The term "secular injury" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as per manently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161.1.) Getting Even With a Vengence. 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: BS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst 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 person in 283 v. 162 mob carries a prisoner into another mob, 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 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 enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges, facilities or privileges 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 the next than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to a person aggrieved thereby to be re-arrested 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!

Beginning a new era in the telephone history of Tiffin, Miss Johnson looks back upon 40 years of telephone service. This was her third cutover. Mr. Crawford has been 38 years in the business, having started as a messenger boy back in 1891.

D. O. Walker. It is said that the latter was largely responsible for Atty, Chester K. Gillespie's candidacy in the same district, and that he (Walker) is "double-crossing" him (Gillespie). Both candidates were and doubtless still are members of the local Republican organization. Moved by the exceptionally large number of murders and other crimes in the roaring third and fourth precincts, Saturday and Sunday, and on the same days a week ago, Director of Public Safety Edwin D.

The Isle of Man is linked by a new cable from Blackpool in Lancashire to Douglas on the island. An extension of the latter cable will ultimately mean direct circuits between London and Belfast. The rate for a telephone conversation between Cleveland and these points in Ireland is $49.50 for the first three minutes and $16.50 for each additional minute. A report charge is $5.50. There are about 47,000 telephones in Ireland. With this extension of overseas service, Americans are in telephone communication with 20 foreign countries.

Prince Carl is president of the Swedish Red Cross "MORTALITY" OF AVERAGE MOTOR "Life" of Average Automobile Put at Six Years and Nine Months. The "life" of the average automobile 's six years and nine months, while the average cost of operation, for a four-cylinder passenger car is 6.43 cents per mile, and for a six-cylinder machine is 8.40 cents per mile, based upon an average mileage of 11.000 miles per year, according to the American Motorists' association, in co-operation with the Automobile Club of Illinois. The "mortality" figure is based upon replacement data furnished by automobile manufacturers. The cost per mile is computed from detailed cost accounting records covering 800 typical automobiles, operated in various parts of the United States. The largest single item in the composite "average" automobile, for both the four and six cylinder machines, was maintenance, followed in both types by depreciation and gasoline consumption. Following is a comparison of the operation costs of the "average" medium four and six cylinder types: | Items | Cents per mile Four cylinder | Cents per mile Six cylinder | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Maintenance | 1.72 | 2.14 | | Depreciation | 1.39 | 2.09 | | Gasoline | 1.31 | 1.52 | | Tires | .64 | .80 | | Garage | .14 | .44 | | Interest | .36 | .71 | | Oil | .22 | .20 | | Insurance | .21 | .26 | | License | .14 | .24 | The above figures are computed on a mileage of 11,000 miles per year, getting an average of 17.53 miles per gallon of gasoline for the average four-cylinder car and 13.19 miles per gallon for the average six-cylinder car. Operation Cost: For the light four-cylinder model, the average operation cost is shown to be 6.02 cents per mile; the heavy four-cylinder average type is 7.20 cents per mile; the light six type is 7.38 cents per mile, and the heavy six-cylinder type is 9.45 cents per mile. Rear Collisions Caused Lack of proper understanding of a certain situation causes many rear collisions. The driver applies the brakes, starts to slide and discovers that he cannot steer to the right or left so as to avoid striking the car ahead. If he could stand out on the street and watch his car during this process he would see that the inability to steer is due merely to the fact that the front wheels have locked. They slide straight ahead regardless of whether they are cut sharply to the right or left. The remedy is to release the brakes the instant the car won't steer. It may be safer to be able to steer to one side than to stop. AUTOMOBILE NOTES Discolored celluloid window lights can be cleaned with alcohol. Applying the new paint with horizontal strokes of the brush is one way to keep the job from looking streaky afterward. Some chassis lubrication systems require oil, others grease. The car owner never should try to substitute the one for the other. California now leads all other states in the number of automobiles in proportion to population, with one car for every two and seven-eighths persons. Because cars in Great Britain are taxed heavily according to horse power, over 65 per cent of all cars registered there are less than 14 horse power. ```markdown ``` During 1928 nearly 25,000 persons were killed and more than 700,000 suffered serious personal injury as a direct result of the failure to adequately cope with the problems of motor-car traffic, according to the American Motorists' association. The total economic loss due to the destruction of property, to congestion and to other causes incident to inadequate traffic fatalities is estimated by the association to be not less than $2,000,000 annually. Valve Adjusting Tool Is Timesaver for Mechanic The illustration shows a home-made tool that will be a time saver for either the garage mechanic or the motorist who does his own repairing in adjusting overhead valves that are fitted with a slotted bolt and a lock nut. It advantage is that you do not have to "remove the screwdriver from the slot each time you test the clearance between the valve stem and the end of the rocker arm. The spring holds it securely in the slot. To make this tool, take an end wrench that fits the lock nut.

A cotter pin, a washer, and a spring complete the assembly. To use the tool, fit the wrench over the lock nut while pulling the screwdriver bit up against the spring. Let the screwdriver edge drop into the slot, loosen the lock nut, test the clearance while still holding the wrench in place, turn screwdriver to change clearance, and when you have it right hold screwdriver in the correct position with one hand while you tighten the lock nut with the other. This tool has saved much time in the repairing of cars with overhead valve motors.—Popular Science Monthly. Slow "Creepers" Spoil Summer Holiday Season The motorist, who gives no thought to the backing up of traffic he causes by pausing to make a left turn in a crowded street during rush hour travel, surrenders the nuisance palm to the driver who blockades travel on narrow country roads, especially on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings, declares Arthur Goulson, general manager of the Federal Motor club. "The car owner who takes his family out for a holiday drive, and seeks the country roads to escape city congestion, generally has his day ruined by motorists who refuse to drive their cars at the pace set by all others in a traffic line," said Mr. Goulson. "It may be that these creepers are sincere in the belief that they are careful drivers determined to avoid being party to an auto crash, but, as a matter of fact, proved by accident statistics, they are continually inviting collision and possible injury. "When a creeping car always all automobiles behind it, then the other drivers begin to seek opportunity to speed by. Motorists coming from the other direction do not like this. Some of them refuse to slow up. The result is a crash that includes, as a rule, the car of the "creeper." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1929 for fall is confirmed in the houette which this mode achieves molded-to-the-figure lines through the use of fine tucking above THIS GOWN OF RAYON FAILLE EXPLOITS CHIC SPANISH BOLERO THE FASHION WEEK SOME fabrics so hold the interest of the fashionable world, their vogue repeats through more than one season. There are printed velvets, for instance; it cannot be said that they reached the zenith of their glory last winter, perhaps because women did not sufficiently "appreciate a good thing when they saw it." But in the autumn mode printed velvets have assuredly come into their own. In the high marts of fashion, gowns of transparent rayon printed velvet are about the most featured theme of the immediate hour. These lovely velvet weaves which have brought such fame to the fabric realm have in their patternings captured every rich hue on the autumn and winter color card. Included in their range are radiant brownies which reflect the witchery of autumn browns and sunset glow and golden tints in their highlights. The new blueberry tones, wine shades, the popular bright blues, dusky violet tints, pea-green and forest green, all mingle in lovely confusion in these much-featured print and plain velvets. The rayon transparent velvet of which this winsome gown in the picture is made, is printed in a feather interpretation, which means of course, a mingling of exotic plumage colorings, such as only the soft pile of velvet car portrait. The tendency to adopt princess lines THIS GOWN OF RAY EXPLOITS CH THE exposition in Barcelona must have been visited by most of the world's great designers, for Spanish influence is everywhere present in the mode. Boleros and sweeping Spanish-like skirts are some of the results of this new movement. Sometimes the bolero is merely suggested, sometimes it appears on one side of the frock only, then again, as in the rayon faille dinner gown in the illustration, it becomes a real bolero, having the advantage of being removable when, after dinner, the smart young woman wishes to be more decollete for dancing. Nor is the bolero confined to the evening mode. Indeed no! It especially flourishes in youthful daytime frocks. Picture, if you would vision advance motes, a smartly flaring skirt of dark red rayon crepe, a trim little long-sleeved bolero topping a tuck-in blouse of yellowish bastiste, the hip-line graced with a black toored sash, of course deeply fringed with black. But enough of other Spanish numbers on the style program, sufficient unto the moment is the captivating costume in the picture where even the ay Your Co or an Acqu for fall is confirmed in the silhouette which this mode achieves—molded-to-the-figure lines through the use of fine tucking above the normal waistline, the fitted portion extending to below the hips, where a full skirt is shirred on. At first glance one senses the presence of the girlish cuffs and collars which add such a zestful note to this costume. It's just this way: lingerie cuffs and collars and plentiful lace "fixings," jabots, fuchs, capelets collars and such, are the big thought on the new fashion program. The "starched" sets are the dermer cri, some very puritan-like with deep flaring cuffs and prime turnover colors. And then, continuing to analyze the fetching costume in the picture, have you glimpsed the little "rag" of a knitted rayon hat which is this young woman's crowning glory? These petite headpieces have so endeared them selves to American and French women they are acquiring whole collections of them—a hat tuned to the color scheme of each costume. One can have a box full at little expense, for one can make them oneself of various lightweight rayon weaves. Caps of knitted scarfing are also very popular. Some of these develop a soft bow at one side which falls to the shoulder. Then, too, caps of velvet or in any of the fashionable colors, smartly top frocks of printed design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) YON FAILLE IC SPANISH BOLERO necklace and earrings milady wears carry a suggestion of old Spain. Their metals and crystals revive the glamorous colors of that land of romance. Indeed, the flair for things a la Espagnole in our modern mode may be said to begin with colors. Perhaps that is why the costume in the picture is carried out in gay yellow, even to the matching yellow taffeta slippers which add a perfect finesse to this evening ensemble. We might add here that in this matter of color black and red are also playing their part in the fall style-drama, as a result of the Spanishward trend. Even our hats have gone Spanish the sailor with its pompons being conspicuously featured. And black lace! Well about the smartest thing in promise is the long-sleeved dinner gown all of black lace. A ravishing new frock recently shown was fashioned of all over black rayon lace, the skirt beruffed true to Spanish tradition, yet withal given a modernized interpretation which at once insured its appeal to the style-wise woman of today.

Editor, The Press, The News and The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sirs:—According to an item in your paper of Sept. 3, '29 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. 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 JEALOUS OF EDDIE TOLAN The German Press Everlastingly Lambasts Prejudiced White American Athletes Abroad Who Are Making Asses of Themselves. Berlin, Germany.—Edward Tolan, Michigan university's Afro-American sprinter, with his outstanding victories with the visiting American track team, on a "good will" tour of Europe, has made himself a hero and a target for fealous American assoc. players. (Kristianet getown University hurdler, and organizer of the trip; Fred Sturdy, Yale pole vaulter; Leo Sexton, Georgetown U., all-round star; Dick Rockaway, Ohio State U., world record breaker in low hurdles; Leo Lermond, Boston A. A., national one-mile champion, and Regina Ginsburg, University of Colorado, national quarter-mile champion. The athletes competed in meets at Cologne, Stockholm, Helsingfors, Oslo, and Berlin, and are expected to return to the United States, this month. Shameful treatment on the part of his five white U. S. teammates has only served to increase the attention of German sport writers who have soundly rebuked the fool color-prejudice of the German team departed by an earlier train than the one scheduled, without declaring their destination, leaving Tolan behind. Reginald Bowen is said to be the only American who has acted in a friendly manner toward Tolan. The white runners were thorny rebuked by local sports writers who asked if the view of these five men represents American sports views. Says the Berlin Press: "If this is the American view, we Europeans must shake our heads. With us, friendship or hostility doesn't depend upon whether a man's color is black, yellow or white, but whether he is an upstart, an inventor or something. Tolan qualifies from both points of view. He is a fine, friendly fellow, always good natured and always appreciative of small attentions. He is not only physically capable, but he is very intelligent and at the present is studying at the University of Michigan. It is interesting to note that his chief enemy, Lernond, is only a laborer and intellectually, is not especially gifted. It is incomprehensible to us how the Americans can act thus abhorrent—the youngster who is at the present time, the fastest in the world". Eddie Tolan Speaks. In the public Tolan thanked the German public and the German sports writers for their friendly reception and for the friendship which made it possible for him to forget the shameless insults of his teammates, and said: "I know what prejudice is in the United States, and never been so ruthlessly and so consciously insulted by members of any track 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. THAT "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL AGAIN The Gazette on Sept. 3, 29 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 the case, 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- team as I have on this European trip". Tears came into his eyes when he told the sport writers he would be glad to win against him without "these gentlemen". Throughout the interview, Tolan ironically Jim-Crowed by Team Mates in Europe A. B. EDDIE TOLAN spoke constantly of those who had insulted him as "the gentlemen". German sports writers referred to Tolan as the "black cavalier", because no hateful words passed his lips. The Rotten Title Restored The Rotten Title Restored. New York City—The title of a play to be produced soon by Mr. Lee Shubbich had been changed by the producer to "True Love" and been changed back to "Nigger Rich" at the demand of the playwright who threatened to withdraw it from production rather than have it appear with a title not of his choosing. It is now up to our people to force its withdrawal from the theaters of the country by organized opposition in every city it is advertised to show in. Blackshear Weakening! Brooklyn, N. Y. — Blackshear, when interviewed by members of the daily press, last week Tuesday, hypocritically declared that he was a Harvard and the Newport man. He also said he was a graduate of Harvard and Oxford universities but was born in the South. "The idea that I have driven any 'Nigras' out of my church is ridiculous. Those few colored people now members are as welcome as anyone else." LONG DISTANCE 'PHONE SYSTEM BEING IMPROVED LONG DISTANCE 'PHONE SYSTEM BEING IMPROVED Fibre Conduit Job to Supplement Toll Facilities The telephone system of Ohio will benefit through a long distance cable system of fibre conduit being placed between Columbus and Circleville by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. This is the first fibre conduit installation in the state and will be one of the largest single underground projects in the country. It is in line with the company's aim to improve toll line plant in every possible instance. The new underground cable will take care of existing requirements between Columbus and communities in the south and southeast portions of the state and also insure adequate facilities in the area for 15 or more years in the future. Cost of the project will approximate $600,000. There will be 42 miles of cable in the underground system. This cable will contain approximately 30,000 miles of wire, or enough to encircle the earth and still have a few thousand miles of wire to spare. The system will consist of an underground cable route directly from Columbus to Circleville, with a branch leading eastward from that to Canal Winchester and another branch leading from the Canal Winchester cable to Grovenport. New Type of Conduit Fibre conduit is a new type of underground construction, according to Ohio Bell engineers. On private right-of-way it is as satisfactory as concrete conduit and costs less to build, as it takes up less room and requires less labor for trench excavation. The cable will begin to function next summer. Construction of the Columbus end of the system has just been started. The project has been made necessary by the steady increase in the use of long distance telephone facilities by the public. Telephone engineers say that at the present rate of increase, 1929 will show at least 20 per cent more long distance traffic than there was last year in Ohio, with a possibility that the increase will be even greater. Telephone officials say that this has been due to the faster service which was inaugurated about a year ago, reductions in long distance rates, and the fact that general business conditions are good.
