LEW LESLIE'S "BLACKBIRDS"!
Beginning Sunday night, Oct. 20, the great race musical revue, Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds", will begin an engagement at the Ohio Theatre, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. They were the smash musical hit of the late Broadway season where it played to capacity audiences for fifteen successive months at the Elisege Theatre, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday entirely, previous to going to Chicago for an indefinite run. Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh have received many enconiums for their snappy lyrics and delightful musical score and Lew Leslie, the producer, has established himself as supreme in this line of stage entertainment. It was his vision and initiative that brought together the unusually clever cast of comedians, musicians and actors, incorporated the several novelty features some of which include the world-famous Plantation Orchestra which includes several local musicians, making twenty in the orchestra pit; the fast-stepping chorus of the Beautie and the Cecil Mack Choir, whose rendition of the travesty of "Porgy" at the end of the first act is one of the high-lights of the performance and will be remembered by the audience. "Blackbirds" who have been coached by both the press and public to form the greatest musical organization of its kind.
The same cast of funsters that made this fast-moving revue the talk of Broadway will be seen here, and includes such favorites as Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward, Tim Moore, Manton Moreland, Blue McAllister, S. H. Dudley, Jr., George W. Cooper and others.
MUSICIANS BONDED!
Sydney, Australia. — Permission has been sought from the government for the admittance to Australia of a troupe of Afro-American entertainers. Last year there was a public outcry against several Afro-American musicians. The matter was referred to in the Federal Parliament and the men left Australia. The Federal authorities now have evidence of good repute and bond of $500 for each person seeking entrance are required.
PAIR TO WED
NEA
New York City.—For quite a week some of the white press has been throwing a fit on account of the announcement by Miss Edith Margaret Bedelschoff, a German girl, recently arrived in this country, that she would marry Phil Edwards, our Olympic games star, and captain of the team. "Color, race or creed make no difference to me when I love a man," Miss Bedelschoff told reporters whose papers had been publishing sensational stories about her engagement in an effort to impress upon her its unpopularity with the white ruling class. "It is the man himself who counts," she added with of him, "and I said that they were pardonable, and I'm going to marry him. My parents do not object, despite what the papers have said, and if they did, I'd marry Phil anyway."
The girl's parents were surprised and amused at the appletastic fits the papers have been throwing over the affair. They told reporters that the courtship of their daughter by the athlete had attracted no attention at a loss to understand why the press of this country should be so concerned over what was purely a private matter, between two individuals. Mr. Julius Bedelschoff is a former official of the German government.
"We certainly do not object," Mrs. Bedelschoff said to white reporters at her home, 482 Park Ave. Wee, New York, 10016, with each other. Why should we object? In Europe the affair would attract no attention.
In the Harlem home where the track star lives with his relatives, Mr. Edwards declared his intention of taking his bride to Oxford, next June, after he receives his degree in accounting at N. Y. U. He then plans on settling either in England or his native Demerara. The weddin- gers move in. Wake or ten days, according to Mr. Bedelschoff who declares that "my wife and I have never objected to Phil as our daughter's husband. Mrs. Bedelschoff and I will of course be witnesses at the ceremony".
WINS $13,850 SUIT.
St. Louis, Mo. — A suit against Mrs. Anna M. Malone of Poro College by Walter L. Majors, a former employee, was decided in the latter's favor, last week, to the amount of $7,528 with interest of $6,322, a total of $13,850. Referee Wm. Roenner handed down the verdict. Attorneys for Mrs. Malone announced that in the event the court accepted the referee's report that an appeal would be immediately taken. Malone in 1913 signed a contract to serve as Mrs. Malone's business. Six weeks later, he declares he was discharged and asked $100,000 damages. Mrs. Malone replied that he had abandoned his position. An appeal will probably start the case on another journey of three or four years.

THE TEXAS "CRACKER" RECTOR'S ATTITUDE MUST BE CHANGED.
Blackshear's Statement
Jersey City, N. J.—Many people will agree with the Rev. Mr. Blackshear of the Brooklyn parish that any one-hundred Negroes that will go en masse to visit his church, under the present conditions, are asses. However Mr. Blackshear has taken this parish sight from its local situation, pointed by the press as saying that the "North loves the Negro as a race but hates him as an individual, but the South hates the Negro as a race but loves him as an individual". Is this true? Mr. Blackshear adds to his former statements a new one, namely: He objects to Negroes and whites mixing in churches because of the possibility of inter-marriage of the races. How silly! If Mr. Blackshear is correct in his statement, he uses the term colored people, namely the South hates the Negro as a race, then the colored race needs not expect anything more than "hate treatment" at the hands of the southern church. Southern white clergymen occupying pulpits in the North are at variance with the northern attitude toward Negroes and immediately set about to change the attitude in their local parishes and by gradual changes go a long ways toward rooting out the northern attitude and replacing it by the black. In the light of that Mr. Blackshear says and is doing it is very necessary for northern Churches, that believe in the Christian attitude towards all races, to see to it that southern white preachers are kept out of their pulpits. The Protestant Episcopal Church must adopt some policy governing this situation and not leave it to the individual parishioners. The attitude of the denomination towards colored people. Failing to adopt a Christian policy toward the colored race, self-respecting Negro Episcopalians must of necessity withdraw from its commun. The bishops of the Church

Must Be Maintained in This

"each parish determines its policy"
Chaos will ensue. Acceptable worship of God must be had under real spiritual environments where the hearts of men are kind and cordial cannot dodge the issue by saying
towards each other. Southern white preachers who accept the policy of hate that Mr. Blackshear announces, are not preachers of rightcourness, but of sectional and racial hate. Hence have no real part in promoting the kingdom of Christianity. As apprehension of the heaven Mr. Blackshear deserves for life if begins on earth, is not the one for colored people. In fact, if the attitude he manifests is the attitude of heaven, then heaven is not worth while and some other place will be far more comfortable. Negroes of the world are waiting to hear the pronouncement of the official protestant Episcopal Church of America. Deep silent is to take the side of Mr. Blackshear to speak out and condemn is to invite Jesus of Nazareth. Which?
Smith's singularly telling and effective addresses: "I contend that George W. B. Conrad is the member of the race for councilman because he has the necessary qualifications. He is a college and university man, and has proved his ability by holding a responsible position for more than forty years with the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the largest railroads in the world. Then he is an Ohio "boy" and resident of Cincinnati for about fifteen years. As your councilman he will he able to act freely and fearlessly in behalf of his people because he will have no political boss to dictate to him. More, you will not have to make any apologies for Councilman Conrad. He is a better qualified candidate than most of the white candidates. Every one present tonight will make a strong committee of one to show others the importance why they should vote for Mr. Conrad—he will be triumphantly elected in November. Cleveland has three Afro-American councilmen and one member of the City Civil Service Commission. I know you do not want me to say that our people in that city are any smarter than you are here in Cincinnati, and if I did you would be "up in arms" about it. What you have to show as a result of what you have to show you haven't even a member of the Ohio Legislature. Cleveland Afro-American have. Something you used to have! You have steadily lost ground following "Negro organization men" until now it is high time you act for yourselves and independent of them. If you do not register, today, and vote in November for Mr. Conrad, a man whom you know can and will help you most, if elective. You have to show that Americans not deserve consideration for them. that are a few Negro doctors here asking for a "jim-crow" hospital. As if there was not already too much segregation. What drove them North from the South, please?"

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1929.
Alec. D. Yaskey & Sons, Freetown, Sierra Leone, British West Africa, seeing the Famous Cap Factory advertisement in "The Old Reliable" Gazette, wrote that thriving business enterprise, under date, Sept. 9, '29, the letter being received by Mr. Harry Mendelson, manager, just one month later, on Oct. 9, '29, sending a cash order "to the value of twenty pounds sterling (over one hundred dollars in our money)" for samples of caps and hats; gents', ladies' and children's socks and stockings in cotton, cashmere and silk in various shades". Going some, eh? "The Old Reliable", we have reference to.
BARRY ACTED PROMPTLY!
Several complaints have reached The Gazette, last week and this, to the effect that police headquarters in radio-ing to flying squads has persisted in using the offensive term, "nigger". Wonder if headquarters uses the other mongrel terms: "Mick", "sheeny", "dago", "dutch" (for German), etc., in referring to the Irish, Jews, Italians, etc., respectively? All of this is insulting to the various classes, races or groups in this city, and wrong! And should not be permitted by Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry. The police who do this should remember that they are insulting thousands upon thousands of taxpayers who help to pay them their wages, and that they ought to be "fired" instanter. When notified, Wednesday, Director Barry immediately notified Chief Grauf to see that the cause of these complaints was eliminated immediately. Our readers will notify The Gazette promptly, if there is a recurrence.
RACIAL PREJUDICE
Mr. Julius Bedelschoff is like about all of the foreigners when they first arrive in this country. They are not contaminated with the damphool American prejudice against our people. Racial prejudice abroad is directly mainly against the Jew and the poorer classes, and there is entirely too much of that also in this country. In too many cases, it does not take long for the contamination to take place, after they arrive in this country, because so very many of those affected are either ignorant or not 'intelligent'. Sometimes, the so-called intelligent take it on, for one reason or another. But abroad, in every country, except Australia and the former Dutch section of South Africa, there is very little if any prejudice against our people. This country stands almost alone, in all the world, in this respect. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Julius Bedelschoff, now that they have located in this country, will never become contaminated with the damphool American prejudice.
"A FRIEND INDEED".
David H. Pierce, an editorial writer on The Cleveland (O.) Daily News has the following in his excellent article, "What a Newspaper Man Thinks of the Public Schools", published in the issue of "School Topics" of Oct. 8, '29:
"I consider the public schools the most powerful democratic influence in the country, except where race segregation is present. Public schools are in and widening areas north of the Mason-Dixon line. Where separation is permitted or demanded, regardless of plausibility of the reasons offered in justification, the public schools cannot boast of beautiful buildings and modern curricula do not compensate for lack of understanding among peoples".
"School Topics, the official magazine of the public schools of Cleveland" is read by the teachers and officials, particularly. Mr. Pierce is not unknown to our people of Cleveland because of his activities as a member of the executive committee of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and his connection with other organized efforts of racial import-

ance. He is right on the so-called "race question". There can be no doubt of this after reading the above excerpt. Not only right, but strong enough in his beliefs to express them publicly in monthly, weekly or daily press. Many are not, we regret to say, because it robs our people of a potential force in our behalf we are constantly in great need of. There is no race, class or group of people in this country that is in such need of the help of the "democratic influence". Mr. Pierce refers to, as ours and that is the main reason The Gazette, ever since its inception forty-seven years ago, has been such a strenuous advocate of what is termed "mixed schools", and will always be. That paragraph alone of Mr. Pierce's article published in "School Topics", and republished in The Cleveland News of last week Thursday, is invaluable, a most helpful contribution to racial progress particularly in this community, and, too, at a time when it is greatly needed.

Columbia, S. C.—Policemen gathered in the local station station were given a scare here, last week Thursday night, when Eddie Castor walked it, saying that a razor blade crowed it and a piece of glass up, swallowed it along with a drink of water. After giving the performance, he took up "a silver offering" and went on his way.
Blackshear "Boasted""
New York City. — The action of "Rev." Wm. Blackshear, in seeking to oust Afro-American worshipers from St. Matthew's P. E. church, drew a rebuke from Father Seldon P. Delany (white), priest of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin (Catholic) in his Sunday morning service. Dr. Delany said: "hope that this parish will never bar a man because of his social position his financial standing, his race or his color. A church which does that has ceased to be Catholic; it has ceased to be Christian. For the position of the holy Catholic Church has always been that all men are equal in the sight of God". A dozen Afro-Americans are members of St. Mary's.
Last week, Atty. Gillespie settled the cases of Frank McRae and Robert Carter against the Greyhound Bus Co. for $200, each of the latter
receiving $100. It is a great mistake as a rule to settle civil rights cases under our Ohio law because it robs our people generally of almost all of the benefit of such victories. We shall have more to say anent this later on.
Councilman Gregg said. Tuesday evening, at his meeting that "the favors establishing a hospital for colored residents, on the East Side—a place for training colored girls as nurses, but not a 'Jim-Crow' hospital". What would such a "hospital" be but "a Jim-Crow hospital", a "honky-tonk"? Gregg is sure an amusing as well as peculiar individual, to say the least. That kind of talk would kill his candidacy, if it was not already dead.

The Plain Dealer, Wednesday morning, did not seem to like Bundy's praise of Candidate Herman Finkle who, with Atty. Alex, Bernstein, is very kindly remembered by hundreds of our people of the 12th ward, and the third district, for the help given them in several ways, last winter, when they needed it most. Mrs. Lethia Fleming presided at the Western Reserve club meeting which the "P. D." termed "the Payne meeting" because, we presume, it was in the 11th ward where he lives.

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, to "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner may recover, as heresetter provided, a sum and assaulted with countless dollars as damages from the countenance in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars, if jury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12.5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed two thousand, images for such fatal killing. Sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched nor subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian, the guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The country in which you may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal
very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey have followed Ohio's
lead and enacted mob violence or
anti-lynching laws which are copies
of our Ohio law. Several other north-
ern 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:

representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner to another county, or comes from another county, or violates violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894;
General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12404 Whoever, being the proprietor of a business or 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 privileges and privileges thereof, or privileges thereof shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941 Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved with the violation, per enforced 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.

SPEED LIMITS ARE BEING ABOLISHED
Five States Have Eliminated Maximum, Five Others Raised It.
Speed limits are slowly, if not surely, catching up to automobiles.
As to actually overtaking them, the possibility seems rather remote for engineering seems rather more speedy than legislation. But there are two things happening to speed laws that are making the lot of the motorist happy and a third that probably would make it happier than the other two.
The first satisfying thing is that speed limits are being liberalized in virtually all quarters of the country. The second is that, elsewhere, they are being removed altogether.
Slow Driver a Menace.
The third eventually, and it is no more than that at present, is that following the abolition of the arbitrary maximum there may come an arbitrary minimum speed. It is held to be a natural step and there are forward looking officials and motorists in both this country and England who are not so certain these days that the slow driver is not more of a menace than the fast one.
In recent weeks, five states have officially gone on record as favoring higher maximum speeds on their highways. Minnesota has gone from 30 to 35; Mississippi from 30 to 40; New Mexico, Ohio, and Oklahoma from 35 to 45. At the same time, Tennessee and Indiana have gone even further and abolished the maximum law altogether.
In this action, they have followed the course of Connecticut, Michigan and Montana. Anyway it is counted, that makes five states out of the 48 that have gone to higher speeds.
Fix Minimum Limit.
Just 43 states to go and then there will be no arbitrary maximum speed limit! Then, many insist, the next logical step is to establish a minimum limit below which the driver may be arrested as dangerous.
A minimum speed limit law is not a brand-new idea. Several years ago, John M. Mackall, then chairman of the Maryland state roads commission, sponsored a measure in the legislature for the establishment of a low speed limit of 20 miles an hour on state highways. The bill failed to pass but it died a gallant, fighting death, and its friends have by no means abandoned hope.
Attention to Automobile
During Severe Weather
In cold weather the careful automobile driver will see that his storage battery has plenty of water, that it is fully charged, and that the charging rate of the generator is increased. A storage battery is less efficient in cold weather, more energy is used in starting the engine each time, the drives are shorter, and the lights are used more in winter than in summer. The ignition should be timed exactly right, for the power of the engine is lessened by a late spark. If the consumption of gasoline is high, the engine runs hot, and the car is sluggish, the ignition may be the cause of the trouble. Headlights should be adjusted to protect the driver and to give him the most possible light.
Rotting Connection Is
Caused by Warm Water
Motorists who have wondered why it is that the upper water hose connection needs replacing more often than the lower one only have to know their engine a little better in order to understand the reason.
Circulation of water is from the pump up through the water jacketts to the top of the radiator or up through the water jacketts in the same direction in the case of thermo-syphon cooling, in which a pump is not utilized.
This means that the hotter water always L rising and that the water is hottest when it is passing through the top water hose to the radiator. This heat has a disintegrating effect on the rubber hose connection. The connections at the pump receive cooler water from the radiator and generally last longer.
Japanese Tootle Their
Horn and Shout "Hi, Hi"
"Rules of the Road and Hints to
Motorists" in Tokyo, Japan, are printed
in Time, the Newsmagazine, as follows:
"1. At the rise of the hand of
policemen, stop rapidly. Do not pass or
otherwise disrespect him.
"2. When passenger of the foot hove
in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet
melodiously at first. Then tootle with
vigor and express by word of mouth
the warning, 'Hi! Hi!'
"3. Beware of the wandering horse
that he shall not take fright. Go
soothingly by.
"4. Give space to the festive dog
that makes sport in the roadway.
Avoid entanglement of the dog with
your wheel spokes.
"5. Go soothingly on the grease-mud,
as there lurks the skid demon. Press
the brake of the foot as you roll round
the corners to save the collapse and
the up."
Troublesome Automobile
Clincher Rims Remedied
An automobile clincher rim becomes quite troublesome when the rim gets bent down in a few places so the tire bead will not slip under it properly, and if forced down enough to catch may suddenly slip out when the car is

in rapid motion and cause an accident.
The sketch shows a simple method of remedying this trouble by the use of an ordinary open end wrench and a short piece of pipe to slip over it to get greater leverage.
Plan Overhead Roads in
Paris for Automobiles Plans have been placed before the French Ministries of Interior and Transportation of a project linking Paris by an overhead automobile road with Nice, Marseilles, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Brest, Lyons and Geneva. According to the scheme, the roads would be carried on reinforced concrete pillars at a height of about 25 feet, and would consist of two one-way tracks, each about 20 feet wide. A large proportion of the heavy initial expenditure, it was suggested, could be covered by the importation of materials from Germany under the reparation plan and the upkeep could be more than met if motorists paid a special tax of 100 francs a year.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
There was nothing really similar to the rumble seat in the olden times, unless possibly it was climbing over a stile.
A traffic cop of Singapore, Straits Settlements, pulls strings to operate the stop and go signals attached to his shoulders.
Language is wonderful. We heard a fellow say: "The traffic officer came after me to give me a tag, but I gave him the slip."
Our recollection goes back to the old horse-and-buggy days, when there wasn't more than one Dead Man's curve per state.
Ninety cities in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, have adopted a standard code for traffic regulations.
According to George A. Parker, registrar of motor vehicle in Massachusetts, a motorist, rather than improving, begins to lose his ability to operate an automobile after ten years of driving.
Do not drive a new car too fast in the lower gears. This will ruin the engine. Be systematic when hunting trouble about the car. This is about the only way to determine quickly the difficulty.

A sports fabric in gray and navy blue was the inspiration for the fetching hat-and-scarf.
NO MORE brilliantly colorful scene can be conceived of than that of a galaxy of lovely women manted in gorgeous evening wraps whose moods and modes were never so enchantingly whimsical and versatile as the new collections reveal them.
Regarding favored materials for the evening cape or coat, it is a significant fact that with all the allurement of other weaves, the compass of fashion keeps pointing steadily to velvet. No doubt the delectable colorings for the new velvets have much to do with their prestige. No matter what tone or tint of the evening gown there is a complementary color awaiting it in the velvet realm. Which is exactly what fashionists require to aid them to play up color values in the ensemble effects which are considered as important in the realm of evening costume design as it is in that of apparel for daytime wear.
Then, too, velvet yields with consummate grace to manipulation of all sorts, particularly shirring such as is so lavishly employed this season. Particular stress is given to furless
MILLINERY "SETS"
SOUND CHIC
LIKE everybody else who has anything to do with fashions, milliners have not been able to resist the lure of the new woolens, such as are bringing lasting glory and renown to the textile arts.
There's no smarter way to "start" the season than to hat and scarf oneself in some one or other of the tweed, broadcloth, or jersey "sets" which are the new note in early autumn collections.
In their zeil to make the most of a good thing, Paris modistes are utilizing every inch of the new woolen materials even to their selvedges. That a selvedge can be very decorative is clearly illustrated in many of the new toques which are made up after the manner of the one shown to the right in this picture. This model is fashioned of a handsome colorful loose woven tweed, the selvedge of which is so manipulated as to form the trimming. A pocketbook, made of the

wraps, which make intriguing working of the material itself their outstanding attraction. Collarls especially are fantastically designed, some trending to Medici types, others puffed and shirred in inbecoming huge rolled effects.
The charming cape-coat in the picture is typical of the youthful silhouette given to many of the new evening wraps. Note the clever deep yoke from which falls a graceful cape. The flower on the shoulder is of self velvet. A chic detail of this wrap is the lining of sheerest white velvet, even to the flower showing a reverse of white, thus exploiting the black-and-white theme which is so prominent in the evening mode.
Fashionable Paris is interpreting black-and-white in retching ways such as a bewitching frock which combines black with white tull stressing fountes which alternate these. White jewelry is worn with this costume. The black-and-white ensemble is completed with a white ermine wrap.

for the fetching hat-and-scarf
set shown to the left. The hat combines the nonchalant lines of the tam, and the popular beret. It is part of the feature of these nifty sets that the hat fit very tight and that the scarf be worn tight up about the throat, just as you see in the picture.
Another medium for the hat much employed for the new models is suede, also finished kidskin, which comes in all fashionable colorings. One sees, for instance, a molded-to-the-head shape of gray glove-kid, which is defy interworked with velvet or some other material such as yardage felt or angora knit scarring. The hat below in the circle is of gray kidskin with darker gray velvet shown in the facing that turns back at the front.
A novel turban is shown to the left, in which wispes of tan fur is caught through the black velvet of the hat to give a striped effect.

OHIO'S COLORLINE GOVERNOR
NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL
Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper was sure busy, Sept. 29, 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. 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
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
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 suben care of. No-one denies that. Ifject, 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 lo-
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.
cal hospitals are concerned. "Negro" en care of. No-one denies that. If patients of Cleveland are being takethere 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 and can be eliminated promptly whenever our people see fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly said, the establishment of a "jim-crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to "go to your own hospital" whenever they made application for admission to other local hospitals. The resolution's reference to "the Jewish section, the Italian section, the Irish section, etc.", reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections is asking for a segregated hospital for their own group or class, but have the good sense and judgment to use the city and other local hospitals just as our other 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 participate in the present hospital, offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nursing 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.
