Ecumenical Rev. buked by the Bishop! Brooklyn, N. Y. — A victory before the court of public opinion, that has stirred church and lay circles throughout the country, has been won in the fight against the barring of our communicants from St. Matthews P. E. church, this city. For twelve consecutive days the issue has been raging in the columns of metropolitan dailies not only in New York but in other cities of the country, clergymen have been delivering sermons upon it, newspaper editorial offices have been deluged with letters, in which the clergy of Bishop Ernest M. Stires of the Long Island diocese has issued a letter in which he virtually repudiates the St. Matthews color-bar, led by its prejudiced southern rector. And 42 Protestant clergymen have signed and published a statement condemning the attitude of the pastor and vestry, Sunday, Sept. 22, no less than 7 semions were preached from Catholic, Jewish and Protestant pulpits in New York City alone and there were many daily newspaper editors denouncing the color-bar at St. Matthews. However, the most signal in the case is Bishop Stires to the N. A. C. P. in which he says plainly that 'any form of ecclesiastical snobbiness is un-Christian. We must avoid drawing any such color-lines in the house of God or at the Lord's table. All true Christians are members of one family in Christ. In two former parishes I had colored communicants and my relations with them were as close and affectionate as with any members of my parish. I never found it necessary to suggest in my opinion desire any more, and in my opinion the mission is indefensible. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear knows that this is the Bishop's firm conviction. Following this utterance of the Bishop, the forty-two leading clergymen publicly condemned the utterance of Rev. Mr. Blackshear, among them being Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, president of Union Theological Seminary; Dr. George A. Butrick, and Dr. Samuel McRea Cavert, general minister of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Their statement: "We join in condemning the wider and more pervasive attitude of racial exclusiveness of which this is only one instance. What he (Rev. Mr. Blackshear) and his congregation have done openly many of us have tended to do subtly, though perhaps unconsciously. Again and again our missionaries at home and abroad have been embarrassed by the failure of churches to make professions inclusive, although professing a role which transenss racial barriers. While attention being fastened upon a single instance, we confess a more general guilt and perplexity. If the Church seriously intends to make her congregations spiritual fellowships, she must look squarely at this by no means easy question by rendering it homelike to folk of various races". The Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear, the offending Texas "cracker" rector who two Sundays ago announced from his pulpit that St. Matthew the NEGRO "Negroes" money nor "Negro" members has burgled by his pulpit and press, the Rev. Mr. Blackshear, in a communication, sent last week, to Bishop Stires, says: "I want to assure the 'Negro' communicants of the most cordial attitude on my part and on that of my people; they are deeply respected, and it is hoped that they will continue to be valued parishioners". ADMITS OUR GIRLS! Seeking to Become Trained Nurses —Notify the医院 Hopkins of Cleveland Boston, Mass.—Frances Harris of Roxbury and Letitia Campbell of Cambridge have entered the nursing class which opened, last month, at Boston City Hospital. The trustees accepted their applications without so much as "batting an eye". This is the first time in the history of the hospital, according to the officials, that our young women have been admitted to the nursing classes, due, according to Dr. John W. Dowling, suppt, to the fact that none had been admitted, presupposed, with qualifications met the requirement of the board. The young women who are now training, he stated, are high school graduates and well qualified. Break the news, gently, to City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins of Cleveland, Ohio. "The Big Shot". New York City — The title to the offensive play, "Nigger Rich", which was changed by the producer (Lee Shubert) to "True Colors", and then restored on the demand of the author, has again been changed, the latest name being "The Big Shot". It is interesting to know that the play has nothing to do with the "Negro" or race problem. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING THE NEGRO JUSTICE IN ANYTHING Says Our Dr. Wm. A. Byrd—Blackshear's Contemptible Attempt Analyzed—White Christianity No Christianity But a Menace to Religion— Southern Bigotry. JERSEY CITY. N. J.—The Rev. Mr. Blackshear, the Brooklyn pastor, who banned Negroes from his church, was running true to the southern policy which has pursued the Negro at every turn of the way. The south seceded from the Union because it felt that Negroes were only fit to be slaves and servants of southern people, anywhere in this country. The southern clergy backed up this position by a peculiar form of biblical exegesis. When slavery was abolished and the Union was saved, the exegesis of southern aggrievement changed and many of the rejoiced slaves over, for it was wrong and had no place in a civilized country. However, the south may have been forced to give up chattel slavery, but it has held every other form of slavery so far as Negroes are concerned. Not only has the south held the various forms of slavery, moral, social and political, but it has attempted to accuse the Negro of rejoicing slaves its attitude toward the Negro. The southern Church has never made any attempt to christianize the Negro in its midst, but has tabooed the Negro's christianity, held him up as a religious joke, held him up as objects coming to christianize the Negro. Mr. Blackshear, a Texan, was murdered in Texas toward colony people. In attempting to bar Negroes from his church, though he was trying to do it through bigotry and irreligion, he was doing the cause of Christianity a service. A white christianity is no christianity at all! A "church" established to minister to whites alone, to the ex- church but of all dark races, is not a church but of all white races, a mistaken idea of the real value of the skin of its members. If the Episcopal Church has a policy that permits this, the Church needs to change it, if it desires to be considered christian. This ban on Negro worshipers has gone beyond that small Brooklyn parish and fastened itself upon the entire white christianity in its operation toward other negroes. At the attitude of Mr. Blackshear, is the white church, spoken or silently acquiesced in, then the white Church has failed and is doing injury to the cause of Christianity. The Church, especially, has always been on the wrong side when it came to giving STATEMENT Of the Ownership, Management, Etc., Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912. Of The Gazette, published weekly at Cleveland, Ohio, for Oct. 1, 1929. State of Ohio, County of Cuyahoga, ss. Before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Harry C. Smith, who having been duly sworn ac- cording law deposes and says that he is the owner of The Gazette and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1. That the name and address of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager is Harry C. Smith, 226 W. Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. 2. That the owner is Harry C. Smith. 3. That the known bondholders, mortgages, and other security hold- ers owning or holding 1 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: There are none. 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholder or security holder is a trustee, or in any other fiduciary relation, the name of the person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances in which stockholders' and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, 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 NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS G SIDE ES TO GIVING JUSTICE IN ANYTHING rd—Blackshear's Contempti- l—White Christianity No Menace to Religion— ern Bigotry. the Negro justice in any thing. If the Church north, east and west joins hands with the south in the policy Mr. Blackshear attempted to set forth, white Christianity has become a greater menace to religion than those forms of beliefs that millions of dollars are being spent to wipe out. The other side of this contro- Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. versay is that no Negro can go to that church to worship. Godly fear, pious reverence, loving fellowship and good will cannot exist in the hearts of Negro worshippers there. Even the white worshippier is debarred from the beneficial contact with the time, from the tween and a false social standard and the true religious standard does away with pious communion with God. Colored people of a true sense of manly worth and personal devotion to God, would spurn Mr. Blackshear and his vestry and prefer communing with God out under the great the church, though lineed with gold and decorated with diamonds, while the spirit of the church is as it is. Out of this miserable exhibition of "churchianity" will come a better Christianity or a destroyed Protestant Christianity so far as this particular denomination is concerned. The issue is, shall white and black worshippers be separated in and in truth, or shall they be separated into racial groups to satisfy the bigotry and false social standard of the white group? (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD. hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no reason to believe that any other person, association, or corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as so stated by him.

IMPERIALISM Rampant in the Virgin Islands—A Terrible Condition of Affairs There, According to Editor Francis Who Has Just Arrived in This Country. New York City, — Editor Rothschild Francis of the Virgin Islands who arrived, last week, went immediately to Washington, D. C., to protest the effects of U. S. imperialism on the population of the island, a great majority of which is Colored. Mr. Francis says, among other things: "With the advent of the U. S. marines (most of whom are southern "crackers") came race-prejudice and its evil attributes. On many occasions, have been insulted, the sanctity of the homes invaded and violated, workers beaten up shot down, and there have been few instances where redress has been obtained. Marines are never punished in the civilian courts, neither can a native patrolman arrest a single one of them no matter how disorderly their conduct. Workers slave for from 60e to $1.00 a day. Very few can get employment for more than five months in the year. Employment is rampant. A large majority of population is distranchised in spite of the fact that they have been U. S. citizens since 1927. The franchise is monetary and thus most of the workers are not permitted to vote." --- GET DOWN OFF THE BED, QUICK, HANK, I HEAR THE DOCTOR COMIN'!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1929. Thousands of workers and their families in the colony of Jamaica. B. W. I., are reported to be on the verge of starvation because of lack of employment. --- President Hoover ought to relieve the prejudiced American officials in control of the Virgin Islands as well as those in Haiti. Conditions in those countries are quite as bad as they were under the southern Democratic Wilson administration. --- Howard Greer of Cincinnati has been appointed a field-deputy in the state department of industrial relations; a little job. Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper will not appoint one of the race to a worth-while position. We said it in the beginning and we still say it, and it is true. --- Afro-American waiters in a fashionable restaurant of a big apartment house in Bergen St., near N. Y. Ave. New York City, one evening last week refused to serve Wm. S. Blackshear, the southern color-line rector of St. Matthews P. E. church, Brooklyn. N. Y., when he appeared in the restaurant with three women companions. Blackshear was compelled to go to another. Those Afro-American waiters are establishing a valuable precedent, for all of our people who are so employed, which is absolutely invaluable. We salute them for their splendid exhibition of race loyalty, self and race respect! May their tribe increase rapidly from now on! --- The daily press and other white friends of New York City, particularly, as well as others of other parts of the country, including our press and people of course, made Bishop Stires and his Texas "cracker" rector of St. Matthews P. E. church, Brooklyn, "sit up and take notice" that enabled them to finally see the matter in a very different and proper light, it seems. Good! More power to those forty-two New York clergymen and their kind and may their number greatly increase in the near future. DENOUNCES N. A. A. C. P. The national office of The American Negro Labor Congress, 235 W. 129th St., New York City, issued the following statement, last week: "In the face of the well-known historical fact that the Civil War was not fought to free our people, and that Abraham Lincoln had no interest in emancipation save as a necessary war measure, and that emancipation preamplified an emancipation proclamations by Gen. John C. Fremont and another of the Union generals (Hunter) in the field, the white and Negro bourgeois leaders of the N. A. A. C. P. are willing to contribute toward the perpetuation of the myth, of Lincoln as an aggressive fighter for abolition and as consummating abolition at his first opportunity. This view of Lincoln is absolutely contrary to the facts". More truth than poetry in the foregoing, and some one should notify the N. A. A. C. P. that January 1 is emancipation day and not "Wednesday" (Sept. 25). THE PASTOR'S IMPRESSION. Sandusky, O., Sept. 25, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—This is just to tell you that you left a wonderful impression in Sandusky, last Sunday afternoon, as a result of your "emancipation celebration" speech, delivered from the Court House steps. It is "the talk of the town"; clearly delivered, forceful and highly instructive. May you live long to fight for and instruct our race. You're truly, (Rey), C. H. Young, Pastor, St. Stephens A. M. E. church. GIVE REASONS FOR TELEPHONE NUMBER CHANGES Ohio Bell Officials Explain Why Reassignments Are Necessary Why are telephone numbers changed? This question occurs to every subscriber t some time i. his life when for some reason or other he is informed that his number must be changed. Perhaps the reason is apparent, perhaps not. But always there is an imperative rea- son Many factors must be taken into consideration in the assignment of telephone numbers and still more complex are the situations which demand a change, especially in the larger cities. It is commonly thought that a telephone number is just a number, but it develops that it is more than that. It is also a definite and unchangeable position on an exchange switchboard, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Expanding Facilities Changes of numbers are necessary in order to bring into use all available facilities for subscribers. When a new cable is strung to relieve the load carried by others in that vicinity, the subscribers affected are equipped with a short pair of lines leading to the new cable and the long lines that formerly connected with the other cable are discontinued. Thus, the subscriber's telephone is not connected with the same switchboard and consequently must be assigned a ew number. This condition also applies in the changing of a subscriber from one exchange to another to relieve congestion and provide facilities for new subscribers who might not otherwise be served. Each subscriber is served by a pair of wires which, in the case of a single line, extends through a cable to the exchange; and in the case of a party line, extends to a cable box nearby where it connects in with the lines of the other subscribers and with the lines leading to the exchange. Regrouping Party Lines Occasionally it is necessary to regroup party lines in order to arrange a more efficient layout or to provide service for new subscribers. Changes are constantly taking place and the Ohio Bell, in order to keep pace with progress, must act accordingly. When the capacity of an exchange is reached, it is necessary to transfer a number of lines to another exchange. Inasmuch as these lines will lead into different switchboards, different numbers must be assigned. In leaving the old position on the switchboard of the other exchange, the subscriber has also left his old number and it is impossible to assign him the same one under the new arrangement. The opening of a new exchange in this way takes patrons from other exchanges and they are assigned different numbers. Prepare For Future The Ohio Bell Telephone Company tries to anticipate cable and exchange situations four or five years in the future and to assign patrons the numbers that they will have when they are transferred to a new switchboard in another exchange building. In this way, the company is able to keep the number changes down to a minimum and to avoid many alterations in the future. Another reason why different numbers might be assigned may also be attributed to growth and expansion. If a private branch exchange needs more lines, it is necessary to assign numbers in series, which means that the nearest available lines must be assigned to its use. It is in the interest of the telephone company as well as the subscriber to make as few changes as possible in order to avoid needless and the natural confusion which for a brief period inevitably results. ```markdown ``` Attention!

REAL NEWS When Mohammed goes to the mountain, its history. But, when the mountain comes to Mohammed, its news. TAS IS COLONEL LINDBERGH STEAKING Colonel Charles Lindbergh was in Cleveland recently for a short visit. A newspaperman called for an interview, but the Colonel was not to be located. A short time later the telephone on the city desk of the Cleveland News rang and Assistant City Editor Arthur Snaeth raised the receiver. "Did someone call for an interview?" asked the Colonel, making known his identity. Spaeth gasped. Here WAS news. Lindy, who has so diligently avoided newspapermess, was actually telephoning about an interview. Spaeth recovered from the shock and talked briefly with the Colonel concerning his visit. Then he rushed to City Editor A. E. M. Bergener with the story. So incredulous was the story to Mr. Bergener that he ordered another newsma: to telephone the residence where the Lindberghs were visiting, to make sure that it was actually the Colonel who had called. Amused, Colonel Lindbergh provided the verification. "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 weight in gold! I admire a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it, and, if possible smite it. 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 of my hat to him, as being the friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) Young Girls are its prey!

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 MOBS 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 injury to any one, or pretending to "mob" for the purpose of this chapter.

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. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob just another county. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

(93 v. 162 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: The General Code of Ohio: Since 1940, however, being the proprietor of a school, the manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, equipment thereof, will be fined not less than $100,000 more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person grieved thereby to be recovered 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!

G. KAMRATH, Research Engineer.) Stirring up a whirl of dust as he approached swiftly on a gravel road, the motorist came to a stop in front of a country store. His car was covered with dust—there had been no rain for two weeks. "Enough dust to injure your engine," the venerable storekeeper, who had come out, remarked. "No," the motorist replied as he started away. "air cleaner takes care of that." Something New. "Air cleaner?" the storekeeper pondered inquiringly, turning to me. "Yes," replied, "aren't you familiar with air cleaners? Car builders for several years have been using them to prolong the engine's life." "No," the storekeeper admitted, "but I do know from what I've seen and heard that cars nowadays go very much farther before it is necessary to overhaul the engine. I can remember when overhauling was almost a weekly routine." So being on my vacation and having plenty of time, I told him much about this interesting engineering development. "The air cleaner," I explained. "is a small device that attaches to the carburetor. It removes dirt and dust before it reaches the carburetor and does its work so thoroughly that damage from this cause is negligible. However, if the dirt and dust were permitted to enter the engine, it would form on the cylinder walls and becoming mixed with the lubricating oil, serious wear would result. Two Kinds of Cleaners. "Two kinds of air cleaners are used on automobiles, the centrifugal type and the 'oil wetted.' In the former, dirt and dust are separated from the air by means of centrifugal force, the principle being exactly the same as that used in the well known cream separator. The latter type is a circular can filled with thin copper wire mesh, which is wetted with oil. The dust in the incoming air adheres to the oily surface and is thus prevented from entering the engine. "Recently engineers inspected an automobile that had been run 26,000 miles. No valves had been replaced or ground, no new rings or pistons had been put in, not an engine bearing had been taken up. None of these things was necessary; no bearing knocks; oil and gasoline mileage satisfactory. In fact the engine was just nicely run in. The air cleaner, together with the oil filter, made this possible." AUTOMOBILE NOTES Automobile drivers may look around the corner with a periscope recently placed on the market in Berlin. The Netherlands East Indies has become automobile struck and last year 8,829 American-made cars were shipped there.

"Dark Car" Menace Very Dangerous to Motorist Dangerous to motorists There is a serious menace confronting every driver that could easily be avoided if car owners would use a little bit of thoughtfulness in the late evening, says the National Automobile club. This is the menace of the "dark car" whose owner has failed to turn on his lights as soon as darkness approaches. Twilight becomes a definite menace when many drivers are negligent of one of the simplest precautionary measures in the decalogue of motoring. "Turn on your light" has become one of the most frequent signals to be seen on the roads of late. It is not only an eerie thing, but a dangerous thing as well to suddenly see looming out of the obscurity ahead one of these "dark cars" whose driver seemingly is "cat eyed" and therefore does not require the assistance of his own lights or the lights of approaching cars. Must Have Auto Under The Supreme court of Nebraska has ruled that it is the duty of the driver of an automobile to have it under such control that when he reaches a point to see and hear an approaching train he can stop his car and avoid a collision at the crossing. The court held that failure to do so is negligence more than slight and will defeat recovery of damages on the part of the automobilist. This is a rule the railroad companies have been asking for. In view of the large number of automobile accidents at grade crossings, a large percentage of which could have been averted through the exercise of even ordinary care on the part of the driver of the car. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND O.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1929 Pretty Things that are made at Home LITTLE DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL COAT IS HANDSOMELY FUR-COLLARED WANT to know how to make these handsome and highly ornamental telephone screens? Well, the first thing is to choose the wire frame you like best. You can see by the picture that these come in different shapes. Other materials include ```markdown ``` fine sheer handkerchief linen, also an equipment such as is used in making sealing wax flowers and trees for table centerpieces. This includes crepe paper in pretty colorings or cellophane paper if you prefer the transparent blown glass flower effects. There must also be a supply of transparent sealing wax, wire for forming the skeleton petals ready for covering. also to use for stems, likewise a spool of fine wire to wind these stems together so as to form the branches and trunk of the clambering vine or tree. The first step is to wind the screen frame with strips of the crepe paper so as to conceal the wire. Next stretch the sheer linen over the wire frame, pasting it firmly about the edges. Be sure to roll the edge of the linen over the wire edge so as to hold it secure. Now give the linen cover a coat of transparent liquid amber sealing wax. One can make one's own liquid wax paint by placing sticks of the sealing wax in alcohol, letting stand LITTLE DAUGHTER'S S IS HANDSOMELY WELL, here they are, the children, bless them! with vacation a memory and school again open. It is just at this time that mother's schooling begins, too. The study which she takes up concerns the interesting clothes-outfitting problem of her dear little ones. The initial lesson mother learns in her course of study is, that of all things important in assembling a fall and winter wardrobe for the school-girl a good "confy" coat is the first essential to consider. The logic of the thing is that a good-looking warm coat will cover, until late in the fall, a multitude of pretty little ginghams and other lightweight frocks left over from midseason and summer. Then, anyway, a proper coat is the foundation for every practical school wardrobe. So it behoves mother to "suit the action to the word" by entering into an intensive research regarding little girls' coats. Which being done, here are some of the results. One of the first interesting revelations in the matter of juvenile fall coat fashions relates to the vogue for fur trimming—sophisticated-looking shawl collars, y Your Copy or an Acqua overnight. It adds to the beauty of the screen to form a wee border of gold wax about the frame. This is done by heating the end of a stick of gold sealing wax and dropping it in a raised effect. The background of the screen is next tinted by using a thinly diluted coating of colored wax dissolved in denatured alcohol. If desired crystalline can be sprinkled over to give glitter. The tree or trellis of flowers is made by forming skeleton frames of the wire for each petal and leaf. These are then covered with crepe paper the desired color, green for the foliage and realistic shades for the flowers. Each petal and leaf is then given a coating of liquid transparent amber wax. The stems are then wired together to form branches and then covered with heated gold wax. The base, which looks almost like nuggets of gold massed together, is formed of the melted gold wax, dropped against the lower line of the screen, as you see. It is left to the good taste and judgment of the maker to arrange the vines and flower sprays to effectively trellis the screen.

This handsome blue cheviot coat, with its raccoon shawl collar is one of the very new models brought out this season. As to materials, tweed leads, mostly in soft versions featuring colorful flecked and nubbed effects. Ombre treatments and bright plaids are also in evidence. Sports coats of deep-pile camel's hair come in for a considerable share of notice. Contrasting the sturdy rough-surfaced woolen is the dressier suede cloth which is employed in rich shades of wine, dark green and a host of browns and blues. It is said that green in soft tones will be very popular for children's coats, ensembles and tailored frocks during the coming months. Novelty fabrics include printed vetteteen and bright felt worked in the Italian way, which stresses multi-color effects achieved with insets and appliques and clever seaming. Here's something interesting about coats for children—'tis said that many of them will add little muffs to match. That is, the muff will be either made of the coat fabric, trimmed with bands of the fur that trims the coat, or there will be tiny round muffs entirely of fur matched to the collar. Matching hats, too. If you please made of the cloth of the coat, are especially featured for little folks. Tweed sets consisting of coat and hat are especially practical as well as extremely good looking. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (1976) Western Newspaper Union Copy of The maintenance w OHIO'S COLORLINE GOVERNOR NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL 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 bumbe 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 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 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 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 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-American voter, loyal to his people and with self and race respect will be found on the political ramparts firing into the Cooper camp, in the next campaign, just as he did, and successfully too, three years ago, last fall. Cooper's political buncombe and hokum, Sunday, will avail him nothing with our people. 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- LERMOND VS. TOLAN. LEONARD VS. TOLEN 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 sprinter, 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 prel- POLICE judiced diatribe directed against Tolan which the Berlin, Germany, newspapers thoroly ridiculed along with the damphool American prejudice ne 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 Pittsburg quarter-mile champion, from the other American athletes of the Lermond type. crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to "go to your own hospital" whenever they made application for admission to other local hospitals. The resolution's reference to "the Jewish section, the Italian section, the Irish section, etc.", reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections is asking for a segregated hospital for their own group or class, but have the good sense and judgment to use the city and other local hospitals just as our people are doing. The "jim-crow" hospital advocates' reference to the Central Ave. bath house and the Harlem hospital, New York City, is not pertinent, neither making any such condition as would the establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital in this city. The fact is that "if an East-Side-Branch of the Cleveland City Hospital" was located in the "Negro section", a year would not pass over our heads before every "Negro" making application for admission to any other local hospital but the "jim-crow" hospital would be forced to go to it and be barred from the other hospitals of the city. They would be told to go to their own hospital and everybody knows this, including the "jim-crow" advocates of an East-Side-Branch of City Hospital who would make a few jobs for themselves at even so great participation in the present hospital, offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nursgreater discrimination, segregation a sacrifice to all of our people of the community. Their statement that they "are opposed to any city institution which practices segregation" placed alongside of their advocacy of a "jim-crow" hospital is positively silly, and if they really were in earnest in a "determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, to and "jim-crow" action to prove said opposition. This latest movement of the local advocates of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital can be traced directly to the success of their ally, Color-line City Manager Hopkins, and the manager plan at the recent special election. We repeat, there will be no "jim-crow" hospital or East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital located in the "Negro section" of Cleveland.
