Today, he is a leading bass with the American Opera Company and sang leads in three of the four operas presented. John had a good voice, and often in the dismal snowy-nights of winter he entertained his confreres with bits of song—sometimes the old French-Canadian folksong which he had picked up here and there—more often with arias from the operas—for opera was his greatest love and ambition. When one night in Winnipeg, Big John got up his courage and asked Vladimir Rosing, now artistic director, to help him his voice. The noted director laid out a course of study for the big trapper with the massive hands, and for a year Big John kept the mining and logging camps in stitches at his“vocalising”. Today, however, he is one of the most valued singers of the entire American troup.

COLOR BAR IN ENGLAND!
London, England.—The question of the color-bar against Negroes in England will be raised in Parliament by James Marley, Labor M. P. at the earliest opportunity, he has announced. Protests by two widely known Afro-Americans against alleged discrimination here because of their race have led to question in England for the first time in an acute form. Marley has assured Robert S. Abbott of Chicago of his intention of pushing the matter in Parliament. Abbott has complained of discrimination against him on the British liner Aquitania. Paul Robeson, Afro-American singer, recently stated that he and his wife were refused admittance to a prominent grill room, although they were not informed there by English friends. Marley wrote of this instance to Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and received a letter in answer saying, "It is not in accordance with our British Hotel practice, but I cannot think of any way in which the government can intervene." Marley says that the Society of Friends (Quakers) had decided to call off defence and to set up a joint council to representative colored and white sympathizers to deal with the matter.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE NATION, SAYS DR. WILLIAM A. BYRD.
Pitifully Helpless Leadership in the Face of Southern Democrats' Attacks—Rich Getting Richer and
Leadership Demanded.
(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey City, N. J. — The Republican party of this nation is in bad shape. Its inability to function as a militant organization has jeopardized every promise made by it in its campaign for the election of President Hoover. The coalition between the Democrats and western Republicans has formed practically a third party. Senator Bingham of Connecticut may have committed an indiscretion but when men like Senator Carraway of Arkansas, whose election to the S. Senate was thru fraud, coercion and disfranchisement of our voters of that state, can stand in the U. S. Senate, beate and hold up to obloquy Republican Senators properly elected, the outside world comes to the conclusion that the Republican party is craven, or the things said about it are true. The Republican party has allowed the south to be the South. Mr. Vare from Pennsylvania and Mr. Smith of Illinois, and still there is not enough fight in it to challenge the seat of a single Democrat "elected" from the rotten borough states of the south. For more than fifty years southern Democrats have flaunted their contempt for the Constitution, as well as flouted any action mentioned by Republicans looking toward even censure of their unconstitutional conduct. The sad spectacle of a hostile court has never without fight enough to make a decent feint at defending itself.

The Republican party has lost the respect and confidence of the common people. Massachusetts, a rock-ribbed Republican state, is never sure of electing a Republican Senator. New York, a Republican state, is represented by two Democrats. New Jersey, a Democratic senator for six years, and the coming election is fraught with danger. The Republican party seems to be more deeply interested in money than in men. Millionaires, like the cold and unapproachable Mellon of Pennsylvania, have taken hold of the very vitals of the party; hence the millionaire interests are above the human. Trusts and great industries have entrusted to the administration. The recent statement by the President, that the industries of the country are safe in the face of the Wall Street catastrophe, needs substantiation. The war of the rebellion
MORE SHAME TO AMERICA
New York City—Once more class justice, or rather class injustice, has triumphed in America. Once more we stand disgraced in the eyes of civilized men the world over. This time the State of North Carolina is the offender. Consider the record. At Gastonia labor men were kidnapped and flogged. Their assailants are acquitted. A woman was murdered by a man who had blood murderers were not even indicted by the Grand Jury. At Marion the Sheriff and his deputies guilty of one of the most shocking massacres in American history have not even been held in bail, and bail for the remaining deputies has been set at $3,000. These were the agents of the employers or of an owning class. But at Charlotte, workers, union men, are promptly found guilty of second degree murder because in a brawl outside their tent colony in Gastonia a beggar general chief of police was killed. A jury had been told that it could disregard the very intelligent and impressive testimony of Ethel Miller because she did not believe in God. It came after the state prosecutor, Solicitor Carpenter, had made an exhibition of himself that would not have been tolerated in any civilized country. His writings, his cheap melodrama, his distortion of the religious appeal, his frank play of the moral character, his sensations of the jury ought of themselves to upset the verdict in the higher courts.
As matters stand, North Carolina, home of one of the most progressive universities in the South, proclaims to the world that she offers neither civil nor religious liberties to workers. Even a judge whom we had thought meant to be fair declares in effect that only believers in hell, like himself, can be believed on oath. In that statement is the end of religion, and the belief that we have long since died in Gastonia and Marion. The Gastonia Gazette rejoices that what has happened will teach labor agitators to keep their nose out of the South! Liberty will be born again but, only out of in-

broke up the Negroes of the south and today, the number in states outside of the south, rival those there. The federal government has taken no intelligent action to take care of this domestic upheaval. The great number of men out of employment while some men are becoming billionaires and great combines are unable to count their wealth, is a sad commentary on the efficiency of the party in power to meet present day needs.
The effort to have the south become Republican, without a change of political policy toward Negroes, is an outstanding evidence that the party of Abraham Lincoln has lost the spirit of its founder. The almost driving out of official life of the colored voter, so far as the federal government is concerned, is a surender of the Republican party to the policy of the bourbon ballot box stuffing Democrats of the south. What is the remedy? New leaders, true to the principles of the party, or a new party! Which? The set of voteless Negroes, attempting to dictate the policy of this government toward our people, is destined to estrange the major portion of our voters in the north. Dangerous, did the party be enacted in the pathway of the Republican party. Has it sense enough to stop, look, listen and do?
telligent struggle of the workers to be free. None of us is really free while the events of recent months in Gastonia and Marion are possible.
racial Discrimination in a Union.
This is the story of an honest Negro worker named Jones. For fourteen years he worked at his trade of carpet layer in an unorganized shop. When the shop of Conover & Marcus house organizes, he was glad and willingly helps him, a public for membership in Local 70 of the holsters' Union in New York City. When the shop was organized he was denied his card simply and solely because he was a colored man. Of course he lost his job and he has a family to support. Frank Crosswail, Socialist candidate for Congress, and I publicly and privately appealed to the union for reconsideration. Publicly and for reconsideration we pointed out how impossible it was for us to urge the Negro to stand with organized labor for their own sakes and for the sake of white workers in the city. We saw how a colored worker out on the street Publicly and privately we have both voiced our Socialist opposition to this discrimination. We intend to keep up the fight for justice. Especially do we intend to appeal to the heart, the conscience, the reason of the labor movement which destroys its own soul by such acts of discrimination. When Negroes were discouraged from attending two Brooklyn churches it was a travesty of Christian ethics. But after all the Negro could find plenty of church homes. When one college refuses to play against another college unless he takes over the team it is a caddish act, but there are leges with more sense. But a union refuses a Negro a card in his own trade it compels him either to scab or to starve. And that is tragely indeed.

THE OLD POLITICAL SCHEME.
Geo. W. B. Conrad and Frank A. B. Hall, Afro-American independent Republican candidates for the City Council in Cincinnati, were both defeated, as we anticipated. Hall was entered in the race in June by the Republican organization of that city, under the direction of Hon. A. Lee Beaty, for the express purpose of defeating Conrad who announced his candidacy in February, four months before Hall was entered.
The "Progressive Government" Committee and Democratic combine here in Cleveland tried this same scheme using Atty. Chester Gillespie in the fourth district (in an effort to defeat Councilman George); and using Dr. E. J. Gregg and Dr. J. A. Owen in the third district, in an effort to defeat Atty. L. O. Payne and Dr. L. N. Bundy, but failed because it was thoroly exposed by The Gazette and its editor who was "on the stump" for nearly two weeks.
TUESDAY'S ELECTION
Wonderful! particularly for our people of Cleveland. Three members of the City Council (Payne, Bundy and George) and a member of the Board of Education (Mrs. Mary Councilman Clayborne George.
B. Martin), this last something we have dreamed of for years. The name Martin proved a tower of strength to Mrs. Mary B., almost equaling the support our people gave her, to say nothing of the votes she received from many white friends. Then there was the devoutly desired defeat of Atty. Chester Gillespie, in the fourth district, who should have known better than to allow the "Progressive Government" committee to entice him to the support of our enemies, Color-Line City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and the manager plan, in the last Charter Amendment contest, on the promise of supporting him as a candidate for the Council against Councilman George

in the contest just closed. Add to the foregoing the stinging defeat of the Democratic candidates, Dr. James Owen, and Councilman E. J. Gregg who refused to vote for a member of the race for member of the City Civil Service Commission but did vote for a Democrat (white) for the place, and ever since has been collaborating with Color-Line City Man-
ager Will R. Hopkins in a vain effort to "put over" a "jim crow" hospital in Cleveland's east side, and our cup of joy is not only full but overflowing.

"POOR BLEEDING HAITI".
The Hon. Mr. Thoby Rakes U. S. Occupation of His Country in a Memorial to Secretary of State Stimson.
New York City.—Perceval Thoby, former Charge D'Affaires of the Haitian Legation at Washington, has given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a raking exposse of American mal-administration in the black Republic of Haiti. The document of which he wrote is P. 101. The copy, has been submitted in the form of a memorial to Henry L. Stimson, U. S. Secretary of State. In it Mr. Thoby charges:
1. That the election of President Louis Borno of Haiti was "in contemptuous contravention of the constitution" inasmuch as the Council of State and not a popular election was invoked, and Mr. Borno himself is not a native-born Haitian as required by the constitution. Journalists have suffered imprisonment, under a law enacted in 1922, some of them without trial for months.
3. Corrupt practices are charged in the dissolution of municipal councils and the substitution of appointed Commissioners for "fraudulent registration of voters" thirteen times in the past and the substitution been submitted to the people last January. Eewitnesses have testified concerning "the repeated voting of street cleaners and other Government employees who were being transported in trucks and who voted as frequently as they were ordered". Independent judges have been disbanded under a "drastic reform" of the judiciary.
5. Fourteen years of American occupation have "resulted in the greatest misery ever known in Haitian history". Emigration laws enacted in 1924 are characterised as "shameful measures". for the organization of a slave trade. More Haitian laborers are reported to have left the country in the past 14 years. Among other things Mr. Thoby charges: That Haitians are treated harshly by Americans; peasants have been expelled from their small estates; farmers have been exploited by "corrupt rural police"; taxes have been applied with brutality; commercially Haiti is in a state of rapid decline; peasants' wages"; customs receipts are diminishing and new internal taxes are being resorted to.
The conclusion of this memorial, submitted in behalf of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, which was formed at the instance of the N. A. A. C. P., asks that self-government be restored to Haiti, inasmuch as "those at present in control of the Government of Haiti have forfeited every claim to both the confidence and respect of the Haitian people".

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 edi-

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:

tor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating establishment or a dance venue 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 or privileges thereof, shall be deemed to be 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 thereby to be recovered in any court 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.

WIRES SPEED NEWS TO CURIOUS PUBLIC
Traffic to Cleveland Air Events Regulated by Telephone
Telephone
Aircraft of the nation thundered across the skys above Cleveland during the National Air Races in beautiful formations, catapulting down in breathless dives to zoom back up at terrific speed toward the very roof of the sky, sailing by in echelon and V of V's formations, banking and rolling in spectacular fashion.
Miniature blimps and the world's largest lighter-than-ai. craft floated side by side against the cloops; tiny monoplane. darted about ponderous army bombers; military pursuit planes scoured the skys for imaginary enemies and engaged in "dog fight" maneuvers.
On the ground, directing the various events, were officials of the races at their telephones.
Modern Methods
The ultra-modern in transportation on parade and, regulating and coordinating its movements, was the ultra-modern in communication.
That these two factors of everyday life are of vital importance to one another was demonstrated by the manner in which the air races were systemized. Telephonic communication was established around the field by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company for the direction of plane movements and conveyance of information to officials.
Cleveland newspaper men had direct connections with their offices. Radio stations used telephone wires in their activities. A Western Electric public address system relayed speakers' voices to the vast assembly in the stands.
"Hello, Los Angeles"
Field telephone facilities were provided the Los Angeles, U. S. Navy dirigible, moored at the airport. A special exchange was set up in the administration building with 16 trunk lines for Cleveland local service and four long distance terminals. Three operators were constantly busy, placing and receiving calls for airport patrons.
When the Los Angeles came floating majestically over the city, a flurry of lights on Cleveland tele-

Mrs. Mary B. Martin, 2392 E. 40th St., whose candidacy was urged on the grounds that colored people defended the school representation, was trailing Ross H. Davis, vice president of the board, by only 405 votes —23,798 to 24,201. The first returns, however, had come in from the downtown sections where Mrs. Martin was expected to show strength and it was believed the margin would widen as the outlying districts sent in their tallies.
Mrs. Josephine Reilly, who received endorsement of colored voters along with Mrs. Martin, was definitely out of the race with a total of 18,276. —Wednesday's Plain Dealer.

Charles Harris, director of our Musical Band, will be the conductor, and Guitar Srube (white) conductor of the Baltimore Symphony, will be the adviser. Formation of the orchestra was made possible through the generosity of a Baltimore man (white) who is too modest to reveal his identity.

Is it any wonder that such women are beloved?
Gladys Robinson, famous leading lady of "The Smart Set", has such hair and says of it, "I owe it's beauty to Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Without this wonderful product I would be lost.

A still greater volume of calls rippled and flashed before the operators when the Graf Zeppelin came roaring through the night, a great grey monster with lights shining out through the gondola windows like luminous teeth. Extra operators helped handle the increased volume of traffic that was anticipated by telephone officials when newspapers announced that the Zep would pass over the city.

Meyer Weintraub, city editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, and Miss Helen Berman, stenogrammer in the Jewish offices, testified that they frequently served the restaurant and were never required to pay a service charge required of White. White and his party, according to testimony, were told they could be served only on the mezzanine. Talbert's three white companions also have right of action, under our Ohio Civil Rights law, and ought to sue that restaurant, too, and collect $50 each. Talbert White found them at once.

Flowers Outpointes Kaufman.
Philadelphia, Pa.—Bruce Flowers, shifty and hard-hitting, of New Rochelle, N. Y., took the decision from Pinky Kaufman (white), Hartford, Conn., in the 10-round main event and the arena Sunday night. He scaled 127 pounds, Kaufman 140. Pinky landed a low in sixth and the referee seemed on the verge of stopping the bout, but Flowers insisted on fighting. A left to the stomach sent him down with his arms locked around Kaufman's legs, but he was up without a count. Kaufman tired in the later rounds. Flowers giving him a plenty.
McVey Robbed
Jack McVey plastered lanky locker Till (white) of Buffalo and plastered him plenty in every one of the six rounds the middleweight pair fought, last week Wednesday night, in Louis Wargo's feature go at Public Hall Annex. Jack had such an edge at the end of four rounds that many of the fans headed for the exits figure over but the awarding of the decision was their surprise certainly could have been than that of the fans who remained to see Referee Frankie Van give Till the nod. Till never had a chance and nothing but his courage kept him on his feet in the closing rounds. McVey kept a steady fire of sizzling jabs going home to Osk's chin from the very start. In the first round he rushed Till around the ring, dancing in with sharp jolts. Just before the round ended Till landed a stiff right but that stop McVey's dancing but that took the look a bad body beating in the seashell. He tried to reach McVey's chin, but Jack blocked every catch, catching the blows on his gloves. McVey landed some powerful blows on the body in this frame. At the outset of the third chapter Till shook McVey with rapid fire rights to the jaw. But Jack then planted six hard rights and left to the chin and the bell. Till fought cleverly in the fourth and staying clear of McVey's flying fists. A jab at jaw away and look for an opening. He nailed Till with a sizzling left to the chin just before the bell. McVey put over two good rights to the jaw in the middle of the fifth and again Till had to hang on. He recovered to catch McVey with three rights to the chin. McVey lashed Till severely in the final frame and again him on the verge of a kayo. Till simply could not stop that lightning left. When the final bell sounded and without hesitation, raised Till's hard look of surprise overcame Till while McVey stood dumfounded. The crowd was silent for a moment but then a storm of boos broke. —Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer.

"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:
admit me manhood—a
man who 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
McNeills, 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.

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. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

AGED HORSELESS SPEEDER STILL IN USE
1895
Not many years ago horses ran in terror from this horseless carriage William F. Wolfe, Upland, Ind., the driver, went more than 250 miles in this speeder to attend the recent Ohio state fair. It was made in 1900, has six speeds forward, and six in reverse, goes 15 miles on one gallon of gas and has a top speed of 10 miles an hour.
SWEARING NO CURE FOR PARKING ILLS
Paved Areas Must Be Built to Bring Full Motoring Utility.
(By E E Duffy )
(BY E. E. Duffy.)
Whether going or coming or not going at all, the automobile occupies a certain amount of space. Oddly, the motorist frequently experiences the greatest difficulty in finding this space when he wants to park. Somehow or other parking spaces always seem to be filled, or else two curt words on a signboard compel him to move on.
Sedans are no longer buggies and the space once devoted to the "hitchhikin' rail" is inadequate. Parking in city and town today is no small problem, and unfortunately little has been done by municipalities to create open-air stopping places for cars. The parking problem is no joke—and one answer to it is found in a new facility, the establishment of paved parking areas.
Build Parking Space
In Chicago, the Lincoln park board is making an effort to unscramble its traffic situation by constructing two concrete parking spaces. These will be 320 feet long by 1.0 feet wide, accommodating 300 cars. At Concey Island there is a concrete parking space 1,350 feet long by 705 feet wide, large enough to accommodate more than 5,000 cars.
A fair-sized city in Illinois realized that it was not getting its share of rural business. Farmers were going elsewhere to do their buying. City officials and business men conferred. Shortly a group of old buildings was torn down and a spacious parking place was provided. Not content with this, the city built a new bridge across a stream which had always been a traffic barrier. Today, probably no city of its size is getting more rural trade than this progressive Illinois community.
The handling of the automobile is a city problem and many municipalities have decided that the provision of parking places is likewise something in which the city government has a deep interest. Vacant city property of low earning capacity might well be turned over to the convenience of the motoring family, which just about includes everyone. In some cases it may be practicable for the city to purchase land for the establishment of parking areas.
Full Utility of Car.
The full utility of the automobile will not have been attained until the motorist can stop within the near neighborhood of his destination. This is something that most motorists are denied at present. The creation of municipally or privately owned parking areas naturally entails some expense which, with the expense of operation and maintenance, justifies low parking fees.
One way of relieving traffic congestion, which harasses city governments more than any other one thing, is to get the cars off the streets. Paved parking areas will do that.
Proper Type Spark Plug
Most Important Factor
To maintain efficient engine performance in cars, buses or trucks, it is essential that the proper type spark plug be used.
The same type spark plug will not meet all driving conditions and all reputable manufacturers include in their lines many different types or spark plugs to meet different operating conditions. Attention to the matter of the proper selection of spark plugs for particular service go a long way toward insuring trouble-free performance.
An illustration of this point is cited in the case of a bus that had been operated with complete satisfaction on a level route, but when it was transferred to a different route where practically all of the highway was through hilly country, the engine developed preignition. The difficulty was immediately corrected with the installation of spark plugs of a cooler type especially designed to overcome preignition.
The standard recommendations for a uniform system of traffic lights approved by the American engineering council aim to help the color-blind driver. The code suggests arrangement of traffic lights when in a vertical bank so that the red is on top, yellow light below it, if used, and green on the bottom. If the lights are set up in a horizontal row it recommends that the red be placed at the left, yellow in the middle and green on the right. The theory is that many traffic accidents can be prevented if color-blind drivers can depend upon the position of the lights, rather than their color.
Tire Holder Arranged
on Any Running-Board
The illustration shows a convenient and simple running-board tire holder that can be made from a block of wood, some strap iron and five bolts.

As shown, the arrangement is for a rim fitted with four lugs, but it will work with other numbers of lugs, if necessary. Make sure that the tire is held rigidly in place.—Popular Science Monthly.
Alarm Clock Will Warn
When Parking Time Up
The business men of Appleton, Wis.
who drive to their offices and park in
front of their business places, have
put one over on the city authorities
who limit parking in the office district
to 90 minutes.
The business men have thought of
a novel scheme. They set alarm clocks
in their cars to ring at the end of 90
minutes. When the startling sound of
the clock interrupts the calm routine,
a mad rush is made for the curb.
Into their cars the big butter and egg
men hop, drive them around the block
and park them in the space next to
the one they had used before.
And calm again reigns for another
90 minutes.
AUTOMOBILE FACTS
Ralph De Palma has been driving racing cars for the last 22 years. He has been badly hurt several times.
Longer wear and efficient operation of the driving gears of a speedometer may be bad if lubricated once each week.
"Civilization is at the crossroads" again, according to an economist. And with cars coming at it from all directions.
Eighty-five per cent of all farms in Illinois have automobiles. 13.3 per cent have two or more autos and 11.9 per cent have motor trucks.
A black smoke issuing from the exhaust is an indication of too rich a gasoline mixture, while a bluish smoke discloses an excess of oil passing the rings.
The proportion of people to automobiles in the country is now given as 5.6 to 1, except in the case of the fraternity house coupe, where the ratio still is 12 to 7.
It isn't the prevalence of cars on the streets and highways that makes the trouble; it's the lack of prevalence of sense behind the wheels that causes the difficulty.

AGAIN PARIS IS IN A MOOD TO FEATURE BLACK-AND-WHITE
WELL, like it or not, we are in for long skirts, so we may as well "be game" and accept fashion's verdict gracefully. It is the long-limited goddess which fashion enthrones this season.
Of course such radical changes in dress as pertains to descending hemlines and ascending waistlines has not happened all of a sudden. At least in matter of evening frocks the change from short to long has been a gradual process—perhaps a hemline swooping to the back but retaining brevity at the front, or that which is just as chic, the hemline which lengthens at the sides. But now! behold the frankly long-all-around hemline.
The light green more evening gown in the picture features the new length. Two huge bows make this gown distinctive. There never was such a season for bows as this.
Just what we are coming to in matter of hemlines, who can tell? It is faut the entire silhouette is undergoing a revolution. Especially is this true of daytime modes, the longer hemlines, the fitted bodices, the higher waistlines, the sash tie-backs which timidly hint at the bustle types of 1830 influence, these and other details of fussy shirrings and puffings and "dressmaker touches" in general, are causing
AGAIN PARIS IS IN
TO FEATURE
SATIN for afternoon, satin for evening, receives the enthusiastic endorsement of the mode. One would have thought that after repeating its triumphs for so many seasons, satin would have by this time have outlived its voguishness, at least for the time being. On the contrary satin is holding its own with more certainty than ever. The satin mode as now is, presents many phases not the least interesting of which is the fact that there are more than one kind of satin featured in smart fabric showings and the color range extends from the most
delicate evening tints to all the rich dark afternoon hues now in vogue. Speaking of the various satin types, there's everything from the ever popular soft crepe-back satin to the very new and much exploited highly lustrous panne satin which is really of the rayon family. Prockes of the new panne satin both in black or colors number among outstanding successes of the evening mode.
For early autumn wear the satin afternoon and the satin street frock also short jacket suit are making an excellent showing among new fashions. The smartest of these daytime modes are carried out in black and white as is the one-piece dress in the picture. One sees, too, any number of jaunty black satin suits the skirts

nothing less than a sensation in fashion circles.
But why talk of such impending events as hidden knees and curves at the waistline for daytime frocks, when such fascinating themes await discussion as the new colorings which are enhancing the formal evening picture with their glamorous beauty.
If you like turquoise blue wear it for $^{i}$ is one of the favored shades for under the are light. So, also, are light blues. Green is especially enjoying many triumphs, notably such esthetic shades as sage and other subtle tones, particularly a new "frosted green," which is among the toweliest of pale evening tints—also, if you please, bright emerald green. Egg shell and pink tones are in profession and how dattering and sweetly feminine are these delicate shades. Cones also on the scene, Spanish red, which retains that much of fashion this season reflects old Spain influence.
And there's black! The enthusiasm for color in no way dims the importance of black. Much of fashionable Paris is trending blackward, and it not all-black, then black-and-white-frothy black and white evening frock perhaps, or a white-headed black velvet. CELIA BOTTOMLEY.

NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL
OHIO'S COLORLINE GOVERNOR
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-
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 Gazeetter 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
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, but can be eliminated promptly whenever our people see fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly said, the estaillishment 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 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, neither 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 nursurerate 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
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 worthwhilde 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.
Mrs. Ada Dorsey, E. 81st St., entertained at an enjoyable party for the T. M. T. M. club, last Friday night. A very tasty luncheon was served. Special guests were: Miss Brenna Brett, Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Bertha Boult.
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.

Here Is the Opportunity, If You Can Qualify—Something of the Great Work of Cleveland's Humane Society.
The Cleveland Humane Society, 520 Federal Reserve bank bldg, has 300 of our children under care at the present time in its free, wage boarding and adoptive homes. Old children are usually placed in wage homes where they are paid a wage sufficient to cover their personal expense for services rendered outside of school hours and during vacation. Free homes are used for children of all ages in the children and are financially able to care for a child are often glad to provide a free home. Children, whose family ties have been severed, are placed in the homes of prospective adoptive parents for a year before the final papers are signed. This period of probation makes possible a satisfactory adjustment of the child to the home and insures the satisfaction of the foster parents in the child they have taken into their home. Children have a fixed rate of home, homes where there is a possibility of restoring and returning the children to their own home. The parents are expected to pay the board and furnish clothing when they are financially able. If the parents are not able to support the child, the board is paid by the Community Fund through the Humane Society. The Society is now in need of a good home in the suburbs or in the country for adoption. The boy of the race, age 10. His parents are separated and the father is not able to keep the home together. The boy is in excellent health, but is growing rather tall and thin, and should have the advantage of fresh air and sunshine. He is in the third grade at school. Because of his mother's long illness, he needs a home where he will not only have understanding, but firmness and patience well. Boarding home should be located near a good public school. Persons interested in this boy should write to Mrs. Streator, 520 Federal Reserve bank bldg, or call her at MAin 8382, for further information.
