NATIONAL BENEFIT CELEBRATES FOUND- ING OF COMPANY
President R. H. Rutherford Issues Statement Calling Attention to A Three-Way Appreciation Week
—One Hundred Million Dollars Worth of Insurance Being Sought.
Washington, D. C. —National Benefit, well known Life Insurance Company, with offices located here in Washington, D. C., is celebrating the annual benefit, Nov. 25, 1898, with an unusual announcement in the form of an advertisement—A THREE-WAY APPRECIATION WEEK".
On Armistice Day, Nov. 11. Mr. R. H. Rutherford, president-treasurer of the National Benefit, sent out to the entire force of the organization a memorandum stating the effect that the National Benefit is putting on the market eleven of the most modern policies issued by any company in the United States. In the "line up", every period of endowment and limited payment insurance is provided for. Policies have been made non-participating so as to reduce the premiums and costs. National Benefit announces that it is not particularly asking comparison with any colored company, but with ANY insurance company in the United States. The new rate book carries one of the most exhaustive classifications extant. With a wider range of policies, lower premiums, more diversified occupational ratings and liberalized agency commissions, the realization of its first $100,000., 000 in-force-insurance.
President Rutherford announces that National Benefit is out to make modern Negro business history. The sale of the new policies began Nov. 16th so that the agents may have opportunity to set up a real and timely appreciation program. An advertising broadside has been released to newspapers throughout the country, and the entire National Benefit organization is being urged to go forward with all possible speed to secure $100,000,000 worth of insurance before the close of June 19th, 1980, from the celebration of the campaign now underway. National Benefit faces its thirty-second year with high hopes for a period of tremendous business importance. The company boasts total net assets of $6,109,866, with total insurance in force of $73,897,069. National Benefit, also, is in position to claim that the legal reserve back of the company's assets is imitatively $5,000,000, and that this modern insurance is unsurpassed in liberality to policy-holders.

YOUNGSTOWN. — Mahoning Valley lodge, Odd Fellows' annual meeting was held, Saturday evening, at Elks' hall. There was a large attendance and everybody had a good time. — The local representative is slowly convalescing from a severe attack of la gripe. — Details of the attack are in the Ohio Penitentiary of Dr. James H. Snook (white), under death sentence for the murder of Theora Hix (white). Ohio State co-ed, by Rev. Maston Rhodes, a local pastor until his conviction and a former inmate of the death annex, were given by Rhodes at the County Jail here, last week Thursday. He is awaiting retrial in the killing of Otto Campbell, a member of his congregation, in a prison last spring. "Dr. Snook was a shabby old man," he even look at the Bible at first," Rhodes said. The latter talked religion with Snook for hours before the condemned veterinarian would read the Scriptures. "I was astonished one day when Snook asked me to pray for him. Snook cried when the warden came to take me back to the prison, where he him spiritual consolation that would make death easy for him. 'I'll miss you, preacher,' were Snook's parting words," Rhodes said.
PRO CONSTITUTION ANTI-CONSTITUTION
(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey City, N. J. — The controversy waged between Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts and the Board of Temperance and Welfare of the Methodist Church, North, is interesting to our people. The Methodist Church maintains a lobby at Washington, D. C., to influence legislation that it desires and to oppose board opposition to its adoption. The board opposed the cutting down of southern representation in Congress because of the south's disfranchisement of colored and white Republicans. It is a clear mandate of the Constitution that when any state limits its suffrage it SHALL also be limited in its representation in Congress and the Electoral College. The Board accuses the south of defiantly disfranchisers. Mr. Tinkham believes the prevail in this and other instances. To our mind Mr. Tinkham has the power to constrain the Methodist Church is anti-Constitution. The Board accuses Mr. Tinkham of stirring up sectionalism in taking his stand. This is the same old "stall." If so the Methodist Church because of its unchristian stand on this issue, endorses sectionalism because it gives the southern rights of citizens, white and black. Of the two forms of sectionalism, Mr. Tinkham's is just, constitutional and fair. It is almost unthinkable to read that a great Church goes into paroysxms over the sale of a drink of liquor because it violates the Eighteenth Amendment but condones the violation of the Fifteenth Amendment two sections, the north and south. Through shallow hypocrisy the world sees clearly. For the Rev. Mr. Wilson to attack Mr. Tinkham because he has a Catholic constituency is also unchristian. It is the duty of this nation to drive the Methodist Church out of politics as a Church for the very sake of against the Catholic Church, it is guilty of in its Washington lobby.
Garvey Elected to Jamaican Council Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I. 1.-Marcus Garvey, president-general of the U. N. I.

Since he served a term in an American state's prison, it is doubtful he will be permitted to serve.

MURPHY
REV. DR. RUSSELL S. B
“Makes Good,” This Time Hopkins Finally Betrays for Barring Our Girls a Not Asked for Men
REV. DR. RUSSELL S. BROWN. COUNCILMAN.
"Makes Good," This Time-All Proud of Him Hopkins Finally Betrays Himself-No Excuse for Barring Our Girls and Boys-We Have Not Asked for Members of Medical
or Nursing "Staff"!
"Color-Line" City Manager Will R. Hopkins, Monday night, told the City Council why there are no Afro-American interns nor nurses at the City Hospital. He was replying to a resolution introduced in Council, many months ago, by Councilman Russell S. Brown asking for a report as to the "policies and conditions at City Hospital with respect to training of nursing professions and as to whether equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for such TRAINING".
"Early in 1914 the City of Cleveland adopted the policy of turning over to Western Reserve University the professional and technical control of City Hospital", Hopkins wrote. "Under the terms of the contract, the university assumes responsibility for the professional and technical operation of the hospital, and the city agreed to appoint no one to any position on the staff (we are not insisting on 'staff' appointments) without the recommendation of the university."
"During the incumbency of the city manager all suggestions and requests from citizens with reference to appointment on the medical or nursing staff (we have not asked for 'appointments' on either medical or nursing staff) have been passed on to the city staff for such action. There has been no attempt to violate the letter or the spirit of the contract which has now been in force nearly sixteen years".
There is really no necessity for so doing now, Mr. Hopkins!
The strong opposition of our people killed Councilman E. J. Gregg's proposal to issue $550,000 in bonds for on East Side "jim-crow" hospital, at a stormy City Council finance committee hearing, Monday afternoon. The opposition was led by Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George, who admitted the need of additional hospital facilities need of additional hospital facilities of something a way to be but declared they were opposed to the establishment of an East Side branch of City Hospital as long as our internes and nurses were barred from training at City Hospital. "This thing must end in segregation," Dr. Brown said. "It could not help but become so."
Although he had not signed the Gregg ordinance, "Color-Line" City Manager W. R. Hopkins declared he was inquired in favor of it. He said, "There is the ordinance being acted upon favorably by the Council, however, since the bond ordinances had to be passed, Monday night, when the authority of the Council to issue the bonds expired. This required twenty votes — to suspend the rules — and there were not that many votes in sight by a good deal. Councilman Fielder Sanders opposed the issuance of any bonds by the Council at this time.
"The people showed at the last election their lack of confidence in the Council or the (Hopkins) administration or both when they deferred the bond issues the Council he said. "This Council has an explicit mandate from the people not to issue any more bonds."
"Before I vote for additional hospital facilities", the Rev. Mr. Brown, councilman, said, "I want to see a policy adopted of giving colored in-
ternes and nurses equal opportunities with white people at the present City Hospital" Demands Results. In reply to a question by Dr. F. W. Walz, Mr. Brown said he would not be content merely to receive the verbal assurance of the administration (has no confidence in Hopkins) that such a policy would be adopted, but that would have to see it actually put into effect". Dr. Brown, a member of the finance committee, continued: "The administration first should permit the training of Afro-American nurses and internes at City Hospital. This thing (Gregg's scheme) cannot help but end in segregation. The training of Afro-American nurses give up my commission as a member of this Council than compromise". Dr. Robert H. Bishop of Lakeside Hospital said Lakeside handles from 5,000 to 6,000 accident cases a year and 100,000 out-patient cases a year, and that "we at Lakeside have three colored men on our staff" and "student-nurses and internes should be admitted to train at City Hospital!
"I, too, am sorry the question of training Afro-American people enters into the situation", said Councilman George, "but the question has been forced on us. The nurses at City Hospital admitted they had segregation there. If a colored person was injured anywhere in the city he would be hauled past the doors of every other hospital and carried to this proposed (Gregg) "jim-crow" institution. The proposal isn't made with truth, either. All that is necessary is a little courage and backbone to solve the problem at City Hospital where several large wards are not being used because the city has not the money to put them in proper shape". Charles W. White, president of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, declared "jim-crow" colored physicians were advocating a "jim-crow" East Side branch of the City Hospital to advance their own interests. "Shall we take what we can get, or shall we stand for what we ought to have?" he said, with the Phillips Whettley Association, and now our girls can't go to the Y. W. C. A." THE TRUTH!
Another high spot of the discussion was when Councilman Russell Brown said: "If this committee recommends the passage of this (Grekg) resolution (for a 'jim-crow' east side branch of the City Hospital) I would not longer have my name appear on the roll Council as a member of the finance expires (Jan. 1, '30) and I give notice now that I will vote 'no' on this resolution, as a member of this (finance) committee". Rev. Brown also said: "My head would hang low if I had to face my constituents after such a bond issue was voted". Jane Hunter, ex. sec. of the P. W. A., said that "$350,000 would not pay for the excavation of a foundation and that the building would not be attractive enough for the other group if they were desirous of entering as a patient." That would on itself make it a "jim-crow" branch of the City Hospital. At last week Thursday's meeting of the Council's finance committee, Rev. Horace C. Bailey, former pastor of Antioch Baptist church, very per-

finently said, in calling Mayor John Marshall's attention to the matter, that "positively the whole underlying motif, of the Gregg resolution for $250,000 bonds for an alleged 'emergency hospital' on the East Side of our city, is a quadrature institution for our group. I was told so, this last summer, by one of the city officials, Dudley Blossom, welfare director, who flatly and coarsely said
Councilman George.
to me that "the mixing of the races (at the City Hospital) cannot be tolerated." To which Rev. Bailey replied: "It is too late to talk about 'mixing' the colored and white group in this country. How do you account for the 350,000 mullatoes the result of the illicit meeting of the male and female of your group with the uneducated colored women and men, during slavery times, and since, South and North? If this Gregg resolution carries, I will fight it until I fall to the ground," concluded Dr. Bailey.
"Color-Line" City Manager Hopkins admitted having told the colored Medical Association ("jim-crow" doctors), last summer, that he thought it would be easier to work out in a new ("jim-crow") branch of City Hospital a plan for training colored nurses and interns than it would be at the established one. So you have the crux of the whole thing.
What did "The Old Reliable" Gazette say, last year and several years before that, as well as this year—there will be no "jim-crow" hospital in Cleveland! And we meant it and mean it, now.
Now to open the City Hospital for the training of our nurses and internes. Let's take matter into the courts, and settle it right, "pronto". The editor of The Gazette offers $100 cash toward a fund to place Dr. Horace C. Bailey's grand-daugh-

Myers writes us to put him down for $100 cash and John H. Sears says: "Put me down for $50 cash". Who'll be the next with $100 or $50? Smaller contributions can come in later. All contributors and amounts will be acknowledged and published in "The City Civil Commissioner" book. Come on City Civil Commissioner Harry E. Davis, Councilmen Brown and George, Councilmen-elect Payne and Bundy, Charles W. Chesnutt and all others who can and will pay cash. Let's DO something. There's been aplenty of talk.
They Lose $15,000.
St. Louis, Mo.—Efforts to break the will and last testament of the late Dr. John W. McClellan eminent surgeon who died here in 1927, leaving a $15,000 estate to Fisk University, failed in Circuit Court here, last week Friday, and Dr. Oral McClellan, brother, along with other relatives, will receive one dollar apiece.
Systems being used in city hospitals in New York and Boston to permit our nurses and interns to receive training and our doctors to practice will be studied by Councilman P. W. Walz with a view toward solving Cleveland's problem. Dr. Walz said he favored passage of an issue for sewage bonds but "would not vote for any 'jim-crow' hospital". He left for New York, Monday night, on his new venture. A proposal to issue bonds for a "jim-crow" branch of City hospital on the East Side failed, Monday night, because of dissension over the Hopkins refusal to permit Afro-American student-nurses and interns to train at the City hospital.

An organization to replace the ineffective local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is being quietly organized, it is said. Some of our leading men and women of the city are interested in the movement.
---
"The Mercy jim-crow Hospital" movement, started several years ago, is DEAD! Gregg and "little Jimmie" Owen are in tears, no doubt, but it is a mighty good thing for the community.
---
Councilman Russell S. Brown has made amends, is forgiven for his manager plan-Hopkins mistake, and after a few weeks more at the "mourner's bench" will be again taken into full fellowship.
---
Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of the Cincinnati Union and Wm. P Harrison, manager of Hotel Grand Chicago, were in the city, the first of the week. The former paid the editor of The Gazette a very pleasant ant visit. Long-time friends.
---
On the suggestion of The Gazette the testimonial to our successful local candidates at the recent election will take the form of a mass meeting to which all will be welcome instead of that of a banquet as that at first. It will be held, Dec. 9. Place to be named later.

What a lot of free advertising our papers are giving Jack Goldberg of N. Y. City and his Josephine Baker stunt. Brethren of the race press do not be so easy; such "simps" Then there is that "Feature Supplement" stunt of the W. B. Ziff Co. Chicago. Many "bit at that", too.
---
It is said that Councilman Clayborne George, re-elected, our senior member of the Cleveland City Council, after Jan. 1. '30, can depend upon the assistance of Councilmen-elect Lawrence O. Payne and Leroy N. Bundy in his efforts to lead them on to wise action in the interest of our people of this community. Good!
The first of the week, Atty. Chester K. Gillespie wrote Jack Pearl, a comedian at the Hanna theater, calling his attention to the contemptible insult he gives our people when he uses the mongrel and insulting term prejudiced southerners, and their kidney in the north, too frequently roll off their chewing-tobacco-stained tongues and lips.
---
Isaac Murphy, Kentucky Afro-American, was the greatest jockey of his day. His finishes were even greater than those of Garrison (white) another great rider of the time of Murphy. Rev. Russell S. Brown, another Kentuckian, as a member of Cleveland's City Council, sure made a "Murphy" finish, this week, in that august body, and deserves great credit for the same. Give it to him because he has it coming. See!
---
A number of young men and women of our group, more or less recently from "down home", the South, have been given positions by various local social agencies. For instance, the Welfare Association and Associated Charities have given W. Virginia and Georgia citizens positions and pay out of the local Community Fund treasury and ignored a number of our group out of employment, and long residents of the city, who are graduates of W. R. U. and other institutions recognized as leading schools of the country for the training of social workers. WHY?
One would think that the fact that Councilman-elect Lawrence O. Payne received the highest vote, a thousand or more first-choice votes than either Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, Councilman-elect, or Councilman Herman Finkle, at the recent election, would make him "the outstand-
ing leader" in the third "councilmanic district, or the city. But this it does not do. Both Payne and Burdy will get a two year trial in the City Council after the first of the year when the question of our "leadership" may be determined. As we said, last week, overzealous friends of both gentlemen are not helping their favorite by so "blowbagging" at this time.
Since the Citizens' League has seen fit to ignore the Hon. Harry E. Davis' protest against its use of the words "Negro" and "Colored" before or immediately after the names of our candidates for office, there is nothing left for him to do but to resign from the organization. He cannot remain a member of it, under the circumstances, and retain his self and race respect. Resign, Harry, as a protest and as spectacularly as you can, using the local press, daily and weekly, to the fullest extent. Show up the pseudo "league" and its executive-secretary, Mayo Fesler.
DESPICABLE
Now you can see what local "jim-crow" doctors were really doing when with Hopkins they were advocating a "jim-crow" hospital and the doctors insisting upon an appointment on the staff of the City Hospital, doubtless at Hopkins' suggestion. They were knopingly playing into the hands of Color-Line City Manager Will R. Hopkins who wanted a semblance of an excuse to bar our boys and girls from training in City Hospital, and the doctors, he figured were furnishing it in their "staff appointment" demand because that touched the contract with W. R. U. the city has for the "professional and technical control" of City Hospital. Just think of it those "jim-crow Negro" doctors were perfectly willing to be so used by "Color-Line" City Manager Hopkins that both he and they might saddle more color or race discrimination and segregation, upon our poor, already too heavily burdened people of this community. May God have mercy on them!
---
City Manager Will R. Hopkins' belated reply, Monday night, to Councilman Russell S. Brown's resolution of inquiry, introduced in the City Council, many months ago, clarifies the situation nicely. No wonder he refused to answer Dr. Brown's questions until literally forced to do so. His (Hopkins') refusal to permit our girls and boys (interes) to train at the City Hospital, we were led to believe all along was based on a contract the city had with Western Reserve University "to assume responsibility for the professional and technical control of the hospital", and the city "to appoint no one to any position on the staff without the recommendation of the university". Concluding his long deferred reply to Dr Brown's resolution, Hopkins says:
"During the incumbency of the city manager all suggestions and requests from citizens with reference to appointment on the medical or nursing staff have been passed on to the hospital staff for such action as they deemed best for the hospital."
When Hopkins refused to permit the Misses Fears and Parks, last year and several years ago, respectively, and Miss Patrick, Dr. Horace C. Bailey's grand-daughter, this latter only a few weeks ago, to enter the training school for nurses at City Hospital, they were not asking for "positions on the medical or nursing STAFF" of that public institution maintained by taxpayers, the City Hospital! Then why were they refused admission? There is nothing in the contract, according to Mr. Hopkins, which stipulates that only white boys and girls are eligible. The law of the state, our Ohio Civil Rights law, forbids anything of that kind in any public place or institution. Only "Color-Line" City Manager Will R. Hopkins can answer that question.
Now then, Dr. Balley's grand-
daughter must be admitted to the

If there be no widow or minor children shall be distributed, decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

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 damnurses' training school at City Hospital immediately or the matter will have to go to the courts for adjudication, and where it will be taken promptly unless that silly, senseless and insulting color-bar is removed at once. All those interested sufficiently in this phase of the matter to contribute fifty or one hundred dollars to a fund for a legal battle for our rights, as citizens and taxpayers, in City Hospital will meet in The Gazette office on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Come on, brothers and sisters, and let's see who GIVES as loud as they talk "our rights and privileges".
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:

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.

(93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the ext of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enforced 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 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 to the color or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should and it should do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

New York City. — Eddie Tolan, Michigan's great little sprinter and national champion, may beat George Simpson (white) of Ohio to the distinction of being the first sprinter to officially wipe the long-standing world's record of 9 3-5 seconds from the International books. Tolan was beaten by Simpson in the latter's famous "Nine-two", but the Afro-American, without blocks, stepped off the 100 at Austin, last May (1950). This mark was app proved unconditionally and, since the I. A. A.

I had a pain under my heart of heavy pulling, pressing feeling. I was eery poor and nothing tasted good. I get dizzy spells so bad I would go blind and I have fallen four different times in the street—once I fell and broke my watch and another time I fell in the middle of the street and came near being killed by a bus.

According to police reports, Shired accused Stamp of "tattling" when he accosted him in the school, at E. 45th St. and Outhwaite Ave., during the noon recess. During the alteration Shired took a pocket knife from his pocket and stabbed Stamp in the left side, police said. The boy died a few hours later in Charity hospital.
SMUTS' SEGREGATION
Being Urged in Africa—Praises Natives' Qualities—"Africa for Black Africans" Coming.
Oxford, England. — Institutional and territorial segregation for the natives of Africa was advocated by Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, former prime minister of South Africa, in his final memorial lecture at Oxford University, Nov. He said the African was not satisfied of tempered, and carefree. A race which could survive the practices of the witch doctor and the slave trader, and still preserve its inherent simplicity and sweetness of disposition, must have some very fine moral qualities, he also said.
"The earlier efforts at missionary enterprise were made without any knowledge of the peculiar native psychology. Good, bad and indifferent in native practice met with the same ban so long as it was not in the Bible or in accordance with the advanced practice of Christian Europe."
Smuts hoped that before many years had passed the whole native

feel as tha a shock went thru me. I tired very easily and couldn't walk out to the back yard—the least little exertion would cause me to gasp for breath. I couldn't walk up a flight of steps without stopping for breath. The exertion would cause me to button the top of my shoes. Constipation was another thing and I had to take pills right along and even these were often useless. In the past 9 months I spent over $200 on medicines and that was just like throwing money away. I took a great many medicines but patiently husband and I both kept reading these different statements in the paper and so decided to use this Bon-Tone. I am now eating cabbage the first time in 5 years and I am making up for lost meals. I do more work now than ever before. For five years I only did what was absolutely necessary to do to tire me out. I go up to the third floor now about seven times a day and climb those three flights without stopping once. My nerves are steady and I don't jump at the least noise. Constipation is a thing of the past and so are dizzy spells and headaches. I feel just great since taking Bon-Tone and it is a great out alone and not have to worry about falling and maybe get hit or killed. Bon-Tone is the best medicine I have taken and it helped me from the very first dose. I am glad to give my testimonial and I will and I am telling all my friends about this wonderful medicine. Just when I will never be without a bottle in my home. It's a wonderful remedy and has no equal".

The misguided friends, referred to, must not begin now to array one of our councilmen against another in any such way unless they are desirous of ruining the future of their favorite and making of him "a one-term" councilman as was true in the case of Dr. E.

YOUTHFUL EVENING FROCKS NOW POSE THE WAISTLINE AT NORMAL
THE FASHION OF THE 1920S
SHOES TO MATCH IS THE LATEST VANITY OF THE SCHOOLGIRL
AN ADDED vanity has been brought into the program of dress for the school girl—colorful kid shoes. In issuing this call for footwear to match, fashion encourages youth to observe that same nicety of color
THE young woman who chooses taffeta for her party crock shows that she is properly fabric-conscious. If she decides on red for the color, then again does the youthful sophisticate follow a fashion-wise course. Not only for evening wear is red an outstanding color, but it is an mode for day time as well. There's nothing in the way of a street outfit for youth quite so swanky as an ensemble developed in red-toned tweed, with knitted slip-on blouse to match, the cloth generously furred in black or gray.
As an evening color red is the rage. Perfectly charming and immensely flattering are dresses of red net, coarse tulle, allover lace or taffeta, velvet or satin as the case may be. Paris creates many arresting gowns in this color, such as, for instance, a Chanel model which uses finely all-over-patterned red lace, most intricately manipulated in way of spirilters and a labyrinth of drapes which flutter gracefully about the shoulders. The model in the picture leaves no
SHOES TO MATCH THE VANITY OF
AN ADDED vanity has been brought into the program of dress for the school girl—colorful kid shoes. In issuing this call for footwear to match, fashion encourages youth to observe that same nicety of color values, which is so generally observed in the adult style world.
So, when the school-faring miss adopts her favorite color, according to the rules of the fashion game, she must do so from head to foot, which is just what she did when she chose the winsome frock in the picture. This girlish model is a one-piece which looks like a two-piece. It is of blue flannel, the upper plaid part being in three shades of blue on a cream ground. The Peter Pan collar is furnished at the throat with a blue silk tie matching the one of the shades in the plaid. The shoes are navy kid in a one-strap model, with carefully styled leather beels.
This costume carried out in tones of green would be equally as effective and rich. for beautiful greens are exceedingly smart this season. There would be no difficulty in getting shoes in a handsome green to match, or a wine shade, for that matter, should the dress be developed in the deep toned reds.
Don't T But Give it
doubt in the mind as to the revived favor for waistlines. Of course it takes a slender girlish figure to carry with honors a highwaisted and full-skirted silhouette as is this. But that is how youth is proclaiming itself this season—by victoriously wearing the qualt models which are the envy of and the impossible for "fat, fair and forty." From the ateller of Lauvin comes this very lovely frock illustrated. It is developed of bright lusterful red bemberg taffeta. Tiny twin peplums at the waistline with a multiplicity of godets worked into the skirt, give to this model a picture esque bounfancy.
As said before red is as fashionable a color for daytime wear as it is for evening. Such interesting combinations as black broadcloth and red satin occur in the afternoon mode in this wise—the coat is of the black cloth collared and furred with black caracul, the gown and the coat lining being of the red safin.

IS THE LATEST
OF THE SCHOOLGIRL
For dresser occasions this plaid with plain frock could be carried out most charmingly in velvet, for plaid velvetes are easily available and they make up effectively with velvet in a solid color. By supplementing a frock of this type with a matching velvet jacket, the result would be an ensemble of super attractiveness. The costume might be topped with either a matching tam, combining the two velvet, or one of the new chenille crocheted berets would prove a crowning glory.
Very often the contrast in the material which goes to make up the frock is in the weave rather than the color. A happy combination widely featured this season is jersey with satin. As applied to the model pictured, jersey in some one of the popular wines, green, browns or blues would be used for the skirt portion, the blouse top being of satin in an accurately matched shade, jersey bands trimming the same.

IDEAL AUTO FOR BUMPY COUNTRY ROADS
A new motor car recently exhibited at the Salon de l'Automobile in Paris, possessing six independent wheels and which can run over obstacles as here depicted. It is powered with a four-cylinder air-cooled motor and can attain a speed of 60 kilometers an hour.
PERFORMANCE OF ANY SPARK PLUG
Best Condition Means Maximum of Efficiency.
With the general trend toward higher compression engines, the importance of keeping the spark plug in the best condition cannot be over-emphasized if the motorist would enjoy the maximum of efficient car operation, according to an engineering bulletin, which says:
"A surprisingly large percentage of poor performance may be traced and often eliminated by an examination of the spark plugs, which are often responsible for engine trouble coming under the following classifications:
Trouble Classifications
1. Engine hard to start—misses at low liding speeds, shuggish.
2. Engine loses power on long runs, at high speed, on hills or hard pulls.
“Conditions described above may be due to fouled, worn out or wrong type spark plugs, or to improper adjustment of spark plug gaps.
“If the plugs are fouled, obviously they should be cleaned, and if worn out they should be replaced. If the gap is too wide it should be adjusted to .025 inch for average engines and .020 inch for high compression engines. The distributor contact points should also be cleaned or renewed and the gap set at no less than .016 inch or more than .020 inch in most cases.
Cleaning Easily Done.
"In the case of fouled spark plugs that are comparatively new, cleaning is easily done:
"Fill the lower part of the plug with alcohol, metal polish or equal parts ammonia and water, and let it stand for a few seconds.
"Rub carbon from insulator with stiff wire or small wooden peg covered with one thickness of cloth. Then wipe the plug dry. Clean the sparking points with emery cloth. Adjust the gaps.
Car manufacturers recommend that spark plugs be renewed every 10,000 miles because worn out plugs cannot be restored by cleaning."
Highway Grade Crossing
Of the 5,036 highway grade crossing accidents in which motor vehicles were involved during the past year in the United States, 1,275 resulted from motorists crashing into the sides of trains, which were either standing still or in motion. This was an increase of 113, or 9.7 per cent, compared with the number of such accidents in 1927. Highway grade crossing accidents resulting from motor vehicles being struck by trains totaled 3,761 in 1928, an increase of 74 compared with the preceding year, or an increase of 2 per cent.
AUTOMOBILE HINTS
Modern man drives 2,000 miles in a week and calls it taking a vacation.
Statistics show there is one automobile for every 70 of the world's population. Some drivers seem to have an idea it is up to them to kill off the other 60.
"And now do you know I spent my vacation driving a motor car?" asked the amazed client, "That," said Sherlock, "is elementary. Only the back of your left hand was sunburned."
The town of Montelimar, France, averages 200 arrests of speeders a day. One reason for this is that the legal speed is seven miles an hour, and, secondly, the law is enforced.
The movement is gaining ground to have the name of every community painted on some conspicuous roof. This will be a great help to the motorist struck by a fast freight at the crossing.
"Perhaps the proposed 200-pound automobile would give the pedestrian less to contend with." We don't know: A Brooklyn girl was taken to the hospital recently after being run over by a baby buggy.
Homemade Oil Filtering
System Fits Any Motor
The illustration shows a homemade oil filtering system that can be applied to any automobile to make it modern and up-to-date.
You need one vacuum tank in good working order. A serviceable one can be obtained at a low price from any auto wrecking yard. In addition, you need the outer shell of another vacuum tank to serve as a filter compartment. Of course, this tank could be soldered up from sheet metal in any shape desired. Copper piping is used to connect the tanks as shown in the illustration. If your car is fitted with a vacuum tank to supply gasoline to the carburetor, fit a tee instead of an elbow on the intake manifold pipe. If your car has no vacuum tank, run the air pipe from the vacuum tank which is to pump oil through the filter directly to a coupling fitted into a hole

This system will work perfectly on any type of gasoline engine no matter what type of lubricating system is used. Popular Science Magazine.
Junked Cars Cluttering
Highways Called Menace
Highway Safety Monitors
There are scores of thousands of automobiles on the highways today which were actually disposed of by their owners as junk, but which were saturated, put into storage and sold by junk dealers, according to the safety division of the American Automobile association.
The American Automobile association points out that it is a common practice throughout the country to buy junk cars for a few dollars, put them in some degree of running shape and sell them back to the public.
"These mechanically ungood cars," says the American Automobile association, "produce three very bad results. First, they create a serious hazard and intensify the safety problem. Second, they clutter the highway and increase congestion by reason of their inability to maintain anything like an average rate of speed And, third, since these salvaged cars are almost invariably the first venture of their buyers in car owning, they get badly stung and oftentimes get soured on automobiles in general."
Find Another Effective
The United States bureau of standards has found another anti-freeze that is said to be even more effective than glycerin, in that not as much is needed proportionately. That is ethylene glycol, a petroleum product which has the advantages of both alcohol and glycerin. It costs more than glycerin. Glycerin mixes easily with water and is kept in circulation by the pump or the thermo-syphon system of cars without pumps. It doesn't settle either down or up so as to permit any part of the cooling system to freeze while the engine isn't running.
NO "JIM CROW" EAST SIDE BRANCH OF CITY HOSPITAL
The Children's Corner Edited by DOROTHY EDMONDS
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. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette.
WHAT THE SEA GULL LEARNED
The tide had turned. Sparkling in the sun and playfully making white caps, the waves were coming up the sloping shore. There was little wind and the waves were very small indeed. They ran up the beach and then they ran back and every time, although you would not notice it unless you watched very carefully, they went up a tiny bit farther and did not go back quite so far.
Some children had been playing on the beach that morning and before they went home to lunch they had heaped up a big pile of sand. When the waves saw this ahead of them they felt discouraged. It did not seem as if they could ever get around or over so huge a sand heap. But they knew it was their duty to keep trying, so up the beach they ran, and back, and again, over and over.
A sea-gull flew by, close over the tops of the waves. He was a young gull and not very wise so when he saw the tiny waves lapping at the base of the pile of sand he laughed and said, "Foolish little waves, you had better give up trying to climb that mountain."
But the waves paid no attention to this advice. Over and over they made their runs up and down the beach and if you had been watching you would have seen slowly, but surely, the big sand heap disappearing.
An hour or so later the young sea-gull flew by that way again. He thought he would see if the foolish waves had given up trying to climb the mountain that was far too high for them to ever think of getting over. But when he reached that part of the beach he was so surprised that he almost forgot to flap his wings.
There was no mountain there: The sea-gull looked all around. Had he made a mistake in the place? No he knew well that sheltered bit of shore just south of the big ledge of white rocks. There was no mistake, the mountain had gone. The waves had climbed right over it and covered it up: "Well," said the young sea-gull to himself, "that just goes to show what keeping at a thing will do. Surely I'm as smart as a wave. After this I'm not going to give up trying to do a thing just because it seems hard." And before he flew off he dipped down close to the tops of the tiny waves and told them how sorry he was that he had called them foolish.
And the waves sparkled in the sun and murmured to each other as they ran gently up and down the sloping shore.

A GREAT VICTORY
AGAINST SEGREGATION
Charleston, W. Va. — Our people of this state are rejoicing over a decisive legal victory won against residential segregation by property owners' covenant not to sell or lease to Afro-Americans. The victory comes in the form of a reversal by the W. Va. Supreme Court of Appeals of the decision sustaining the segregation, given by the County Court of Cabell County. The appeal was made by two white property owners who sold

THAT "JIM-CROW"
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-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.
