N. Y. CITY CLERIC SAYS CHURCHES DO AND HITS MODERN DEGENERACY And Perversion—Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell “Rattles the Dry Bones” in a Timely Sermon and Praises Miss Nannie Burroughs and Mrs. Mary Bethune. New York City.—“The rottener a preacher, the better the average church likes him”, declared Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinia church in his sermon, Sunday, Nov. 10. The minister charged that there are too many “stinking preachers” in the American pulpits today, and gave several specific causes from which an odor arises. He referred to Bishop James E. Cannon of the white M. E. Church, accused of stock market gambling, to Bishop A. J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Church, indicted by a Chicago grand jury for selling political offices, and to a Baptist minister tried on a charge of depravity and deposed by eleven men of probity, but who was retained by his congregation and is the most popular man in his community. One pastor from Camden, he said, is serving a term in the New Jersey state prison for a crime committed upon a boy member of the church. Franklin County, Va., and was educated at Virginia Union and Yale Universities. He received the honorary degrees of doctor of divinity from Virginia Seminary and College from Virginia University, and Howard University.

Coven- Some 500 members of a congregation voted to stand by a pastor regardless of the testimony by his wife and several others as to his vile practices. Another church, stated Dr. Powell, retained a minister who had been charged by five boys in sworn affidavits with wrecking them morally. Citing more examples he said that in Haitem he was held with tears in her eyes, heart-broken, and charged that a local minister had ruined her young son. Debasing homo-sexuality and sex-perversion among women have reached untold dimensions and are increasing daily, said Dr. Powell. The minister stated that the reason the degenerates and libertines were in the pulpits is due to the fact that the church wants them. He declared that they would not be there if the congregations withdrew their cival support and counted against practices. Dr. Powell spoke of immorality and sex perversion among women and preachers. Other Cases. Other cases of ministerial misconduct which have appeared recently in the press include: The Rev. Aaron R. Vanlandingham, revival preacher in Baltimore, committed for grand jury on paternity charge. The Rev. O. S. Bullock, pastor of First Baptist Church, Raleigh, who did charge of Miss Matilda Evans, his former secretary, that he was the father of her 10-day-old child, last February. The Rev. C. M. Reld, presiding elder of the Rocky Mount, N. C., district, was suspended by Bishop A. L. Galnes, of the A. M. E. church. He was accused in April, 1923, of being the father of a child born to Miss Angle Neal. Spainburg, S. C., June 15, 1929, Rev. J. W. Coleman was sued by Miss Malissa Preston on a paternity charge. Rev. Eleazer Hargett, of Lumberton, N. C., was flogged by members because of his "free love" sermons and his alleged misconduct with female members of his flock. The Rev. D. M. Perry, of Liberty Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., and the Rev. J. H. McClesky, accused of drinking with girls by George Reymolds, expelled member of the church. Dr. Rev. Powell has been pastor of this leading Baptist congregation for 21 years, and has built for it a church and community house costing $334,800. He has been voted life tenure by his membership, which celebrated its 121st anniversary Nov. 17th. Introducing Mrs. Mary Bethune, president of Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona, Florida, Dr. Powell said that the race had produced only two great women—Mrs. Bethune and Mrs. Reymolds. Dr. R. R. Moton spoke to a crowd at night. What the world needs, he said, is control. It is not how fast civilization can go, but whether or not we can put on the brakes. Abyssinia church started as a little mission 121 years ago in Worth St. It later moved to Waverly Place, and then to W. 40th St., where it remained for upwards of twenty years. Under the leadership of Dr. Powell the church moved to its present location in W. 138th St., which was built at a cost of $334,800. The church has a membership of 8,000, 32 paid workers, and fifty-two clubs and auxiliaries. Some of its activities are a school of religious education, a school of school, a school of music, daily worship, Bible school, week day church school; community rum, and first aid Red Cross classes. The church maintains an old folk's home, and has endowed a chair of religious education at Virginia University at a cost of $2,000. The church is completely out of debt, the mortgage having been burned in January, 1928. Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, pastor of Abyssinia, was born in Franklin County, Va., and was educated at Virginia Union and Yale Universities. He received the honorary degrees of doctor of divinity and honorary diploma and College Virginia Union University, and Howard University.

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 anniversary of the founding of the company, Nov. 25, 1898, with an annual 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 statement to the effect that the National Benefit on the market element of the most 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 to fit every purse. The company 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, National Benefit is surely headed for the first $100,000-400,000-inforce-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 see the real animosity in the corporation week. Advertising broadside has been released to newspapers throughout the country, and the entire National Benefit organization is being urged to go secure with all possible speed to secure $100,000,000 worth of insurance before the close of 1930. With the impetus to be secured from the celebration of the National Benefit run, 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 National Benefit policies is approximately $5,000,000, and that this modern insurance is unsurpassed in liberality to policy-holders. John Johnson, age 43, of Orange Ave., died, Saturday, in Charity Hospital, a memorial wound in his left cheek, recovered by an anesthetist. He had been shot by a woman, police say, and had refused to prosecute the case. WITNESS CALLED "LIAR" BY JUDGE Court Says He Will Free Police Lieutenant of Murder Charge—Is He a Kluxer? Chicago, Ill., Nov. 26.—Judge Joseph B. David in Criminal Court today charged a woman witness for the state was an "unmitigated liar" and suggested that the state nole prosecute its case against Police Lieutenant Philip Carroll and four members of his quorum accused with his murder of Octavius Granady, Afro-American politician. The special prosecutor, Frank J. Loesch, a member of President Hoover's crime commission, refused to accept the suggestion and argued heatedly with the court when Judge David said he would dismiss the charges whatever the jury verdict might be. The judge said he was "tired of wasting time on this case" and said Loesch had been imposed upon by "crooked investigators, some of whom ought to be in the penitentiary." Judge Loesch. Judge David called the woman "an unmitigated liar" after she identified Carroll as the slayer and then on cross-examination reversed her testimony. The judge dismissed the jury from the room and ordered the woman to leave. "I think that witness is an unmitigated liar," Judge David shouted. "In all my experience as a judge and a lawyer I have never witnessed such a mass of perjured, contradictory and inconsistent evidence on the part of the state. I have never instantly set it aside. No one would believe this woman. Personally I think she's the most unmitigated liar I have ever seen from the bench." "Yes, your honor," said Leesch, "every time anybody identifies Carroll we get the same speech from you—that the witness is an unmitigated liar. Your attitude is unprepareded in the courts. It also concludes with a martial judge and want the public to know my attitude as well as yours."

Dark Races Sure to Step Forward Eventually and Exact Retribution Unless Warning Is Heeded— An English Clergyman Speaks Out. New York City.—"Negro civilization will claim a place in world affairs, but whether its pattern will be good or bad depends to a great extent upon the life and precept of the white race", stated Rev. A. T. Bennett-Haines, formerly of St. Paul's church, Knightsbridge, London, England, recently in a cararmon at St. Paul's Wastester Square church (white), Declaring that our race has a rare capacity for unselfish friendship of the sort that is not affected by circumstances nor conditions upon possessions or stations in life, Rev. Bennett-Haines pointed out that responsibility for setting standards of life rests particularly upon church people. "Failure of white civilization reins upon its rebellion, warned, will certainly bring retribution for its error". A war of the races which will dwarf all the other conflicts of history was declared imminent by Rev. Bennett-Haines, who blamed the foreign missions for instilling in the dark races the most barbaric characteristics of the white civilization. "If we continue to oppress and exploit the natives as we are doing now, nothing can save us from the horrors of another great war", he said, "The Colored races will pay us in our own coin; that which we sow shall we also reap". "Inevitably", he said, "the Negro race will take its place in civilization. The kind of place it will take will very largely depend upon us. Rightly or wrongly these people are not so much interested in they learning? That is the rub. How to hate? How to kill? How to get the best of others by sharp practice; how to bully; how to acquire wealth regardless of principle; to put pleasure before all things? How even so-called Christians may bicker and squabble and deny the Prince of Peace? Alas, too often that is true. There is the brighter side of life like Additional Local City Treasurer Adam J. Damm was presented with a large basket of silver chrysanthemums by his office staff, late Saturday, in honor of his silver wedding anniversary.

Mitchell, who lived in this city for years until some months ago, died and was buried in Chicago, last week. Bronchial pneumonia. He was a brother of Edward W. Mitchell and Mrs. Lottie Green of this city, the latter the wife of the Hon. John P. Green; and a brother of Mrs. Nellie Smith, wife of Prof. Charles S. Smith of the State Department of Wilberforce University. His family was for many years one of our first families of Oberlin, and fine people. The surviving relatives of the deceased have the earnest sympathy of scores of friends in Cleveland and throughout the country. Atty. Julius F.

The influence of Christian planters and teachers—these will never die. But they are all too few. The Bible declares that that which we sow, we shall also reap. Now nothing is more true than that. Nothing. Unless the white 'wilder' would show it and it better than the horrors of history, it will suffer ere long, retribution in kind. When the Colored races achieve their destiny they will practice what they have learned from us. Warms Against Racial Conflict. "It is not only for our own sakes that we need seek peace and ensure it, but for the security of the world's future to be a war of the last great war to a race war. Continue to oppress and exploit these people and nothing could prevent the future oppression of our posterity by the same token. You may be as placid and nonchalant as you like at it now, but God help you and your children's children unless you are awake to these facts. Warring is on the white Great thinkers, seeing it ever warning us. When, h when, shall we heed?" Stressing the need for missionary work, the speaker warned against sensational revival methods, declaring that such methods would tend to promote "hysteria, buffoonery and sheer animalism." He asserted that the native races and that a stiffened sort of religion reached few and tended to make that few "rotten prizes". Praising the dark races as having in large quantities the qualities of loyalty, generous love and forgiveness, quick sympathy and enthusiasm, the preacher expressed the view that between wild emotionalism on the one hand and stiff formalism on the other, there is a workable work of religious instruction tending to make "reasonable 'Christian' men and women. NEARLY A MILLION IN GIFTS For Howard University During the Past Year—New Dormitory and Chemistry Building. D. W. D.—President Mordecal W. Johnson in his annual report made public, last week, announced gifts, the past year, of $905,000 from private philanthropy, in addition to appropriations made available by the federal government. The gifts are for graduate work and research, for increases in the salaries of teachers, for scholarships in training of teachers in medicine and the natural sciences, for books for the natural science library and the dental library, for graduate scholarships and for other purposes. Among the most notable of these sums was the gift of $80,000 from the Julius Rosenwald Fund for the development of graduate work in the Department of Zoology, under the leadership of Dr. E. J. Juvalian, and a gift of $80,000 from the General Education Board for raising the salary of teachers in the undergraduate colleges. JUSTIN SANDRIDGE COMING TO CLEVELAND!!! Direct from sensational concert triumphs in the east Justin Sandridge, who has created a furore such as has been the tribute to only the world's greatest philistin, is touring America.

Jones has beaten Billy Leonard, George Fiffle, Jackie Horner and a flock of other "welters" but in Testo he will hook up with one of the best welter#weights in the country.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1929 Dr. A. C. Powell's sermon, much of which we are giving on the first page of this paper, strikes a number of our local preachers, several of whom are among our leading ministers, if current comment in and out of the churches for several years is to be credited. About time to "clean house", brothers and sisters of the church. Rev. Dr. Powell is not "talking thru his hat" by any means. That committee has changed again it is said, and will hold a dollar-aplate banquet for our successful candidates at the recent election. This is unfortunate, if true, because it will har many people who are unable to pay the price to the contemplated social function, but who would have been greatly pleased to have attended a mass meeting, in the candidates' honor, open to all. DR. WALZ WITH US! A demand that our nurses and doctors be given the right to train and practice in City Hospital was contained in a resolution placed before the City Council, Monday night, by Councilman F. W. Walz. Dr. Walz had requested the city law department to frame the resolution for presentation immediately after his A. return from a trip to Boston and New York, where he found hospitals gave white and our nurses and doctors equal recognition. "I found that in all of New York's city-owned hospitals colored nurses and doctors work without regard to color. Boston's City Hospital adopted the same system only a few months ago and authorities there say it has met with no criticism". Dr. Walz said. "The colored people are going to have their rights as citizens in the Cleveland City Hospital and I am going to help them get them", continued Dr. Walz, the peoples' leading representative in the Cleveland City Council. More power to him! 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 knowingly 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! THAT COURT ACTION. The contemplated court-action outlined in our leading article of last week's Gazette (republished on page 4 of this paper) is being delayed temporarily at the urgent request of Councilman Russell S. Brown who felt that the matter of the admission of our boys and girls to train at the City Hospital could be settled "in a few weeks" by him and Councilman Clayborne George with the assistance of Councilman F. W. Walz and other members of the Cleveland City Council. Since we in common with others of our people of this community want RESULTS just as quickly as possible and in order that all elements feeling as we do shall continue to function amicably and well as they have from the very beginning, several years ago, we readily consented to comply with Dr. Brown's request. However, we have not abandoned our determination to have early results and the moment we feel that it is necessary our money and that of other loyal members of the race will be put into the court action necessary to force "Color-Line" City Manager Will R. Hopkins to open that public institution to ALL of the citizens of this community regardless of race, color or religion. That sterling representative of all the people, Dr. Walz, with his resolution of Monday evening and open and frank statement, Tuesday morning, anent the matter, has greatly helped and simplified our contention for all of our rights and privileges in the City Hospital and we hear and now call upon Councilmen Herman H. Fankle, Milfred Bronstrup, Mayor John Marshall and others of our friends in the City Council to "show their colors" in this controversy if they expect to retain the goodwill and the friendship of the Afro-American voters in this community. We want results and want to see all of our friends active in the work (in this matter) to secure them. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives that mourn the loss of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. FOULEST BLOT." My ear is palmed, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

Our mo.violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been 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 6272. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOBS Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. 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 per manently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which assault is made, is made (93 v. 1, 4. 1). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution 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 five thousand dollars, shall be applied to the 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, share and share such widow, widow, share and share equal to the 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 recover of such person so lynched, of such person so lynched, nor be 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 the state v. 162 7. 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 inquire into the case of 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. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counselling for such recovery. (93 v. 162). Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal 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 into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob is unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Since 1940, however, the proprietor of a house, 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 alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the 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 hundreds dollars to the persecutor 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. GREATER SERVICE The Ohio Bell Telephone Company THE Ohio Bell Telephone Company now has more than 700,000 telephones in service. This is an increase of more than 225,000 telephones since our company was organized just eight years ago. On August 1, 1924, when the present Cleveland rates became effective, our subscribers here could talk to 168,000 other local telephones. They now can talk to 248,000 other Cleveland telephones, 80,000 more. Not only has the scope of the service grown but the transmission has been improved so that you hear more clearly and calls are handled with greater speed and accuracy. Telephones are put in usually on the date you fix, and service troubles, which are becoming fewer, are corrected with greater promptness. Most out-of-town calls go through while you hold the line. Further improvement and expansion of the service in Cleveland will require an expenditure of more than $60,000,000 during the five years from 1930 to 1934, inclusive. This is in line with our policy of giving the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It EXCLUSIVE HATS that escape an intricate draping at the hands of the milliner are few and far between. The art of draping which manifested itself at the first of the season in a few adroit touches here and there, mostly in the little soft felt hoods which are so popular, is developing into a conspicuously featured vogue. As it now is the whole scheme of things seems to center about the idea of skillfully manipulating to the point of extreme, that of which the hat is made, be it felt, silk, velvet, satin, tweed cloth, or any of the many fabrics which fashion registres as available media for headgear. There's a formal aspect about the new chapeux, such as has not begun for many a season past. The extreme formality of dress which introduces a distinctly new silhouette involving fitted lines, and longer skirts, naturally calls for millinery which reflects the trend to sophisticated modes. Then, too, what with fashion demanding that hats be linked in color, design and fabric to the costume, none other could happen than a revival of the art of millinery. One of the amusing contradictions about the new soft draped millinery is that that which often seems to be just a "rag of a hat" in the hand, becomes TONES OF GRAY AMONG FAS IF YIELDING to temptation is sin, then there's sure going to be a vast amount of sinning committed in the name of fashion, this season, for the new suits and ensembles styled of intriguing worsteds are positively irresistible. This is indeed an hour of triumph for the cloth suit and ensemble. No autumn or winter wardrobe can be said to have attained to the truly modish which omits one or more of the cloth masterpieces, such as the smart set is wearing on most outdoor occasions. It is a thrilling role which these ensemble costumes of "nifty" worsteds are playing. Because of the versatility of the woolen weaves employed in their making, because of their "snappy" styling, their artful coloring and their delightsome unusualness suits and ensembles are receiving the homage of the style-world. There's simply no use resolving to be economical when it comes to buying one of the swagger suits as fashion presents them this season. The cloth costumes which are laying siege to the heart of all fashionable womankind are not built on the economical plan. The fur trimmings are a revelation. Not only do furs on the tweed and novelty cloth suits grow more lavish, but their entirely new handling captures the eye at every turn. One Don't T But Give it an imposing millinery masterpiece on the head, having all those qualities of dignity and sophisticated "lines," which are so essential to "good style." A very new and ultra treatment sponsored by French modistes is that of the hanging side jabot. The model in the center of this group demonstrates the extremes to which Paris milliners are going in the matter of jabots or drooping bows, which fall sometimes quite to the shoulder. Caps of the type as illustrated are most often made of wide transparent velvet ribbon, which is almost as thin and supple as chiffon. The first model pictured faces the brim with pale belge flat fur, which is as supple as any fabric. The rest of the hat so adroitly draped is of brown velvet. Broadcloth was used for the hat to the right, the draped contour featuring a side-to-side effect inspired by ancient Egyptian headaddress. In the last model a felt hood has a draped facing of matching satin, for satin used with felt or soled is very fashionable. The other wee sketches are merely suggestions as to the trend of the mode. JULIA DOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) REGISTER FASHION'S EXCLUSIVES UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD of the smartest entrants into the suit arena is the beaver or seal-trimmed model. Sometimes an ensemble omits fur only to intrigue in some other artful way. The distinguishing features about the heavy mannish cloth ensemble in the picture is its circular-fliared cut and the fact that it is developed in tones of gray. While it is true that gray is not being exploited in a popular way, with fashions select, gray hats, gray furs, and gray ensembles are often first choice. In the instance of the ensemble pictured even the chic printed silk which lines the finger-tip length jacket and makes the blouse is printed in varied gray tones. In this model the circular flare of the coat takes its cue from the circular-cut skirt, this related movement being a characteristic feature observed throughout costume design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Duffy) A signboard ten feet square with the big lettered words, "Danger—Sharp Curve" clearly outlined against a background of black and white stripes is placed in plain view along a highway in town. Two people were recently placed in a hospital because they didn't see that warning. This merely illustrates that in automobile accident prevention, chief consideration must be given to the human equation, personal element, or whatever other name can be applied to human frailty. Fault of Operators. State records show that 65 per cent or more of motor car accidents may be attributed to car operators and that a tenth to a third of the mishaps are due to the negligence of pedestrians. Automobile accidents are increasing, taking the country as a whole. Car usage is growing for two reasons: 5,000 cars are added to those present every day, and better roads and the tendency towards motorization lead to more intensive use of every motor car. Much can be done, of course, to cut down the human factor in accidents, yet there is this, too, to be considered. Highway facilities must be constructed that will reduce to a minimum the possibility of human error in driving cars. High Speeds to Stay. Automobiles capable of high speeds are without doubt here to stay, unless some faster means of transportation is created. Laws cannot train man to be a better judge of speed or distance and so long as inadequate highway facilities exist car accidents will occur. Fortunately, for most safe highway facilities there is a dollars and cents justification. Highway grade separations, whereby one road or street passes over another at intersections, compensate for their cost where traffic is heavy. Pedestrian tunnels, which permit foot traffic to pass safely and speedily under busy thoroughfares, also are economically feasible. The same is true of railroad crossing separations, of double-decked highways, of wide streets and roads. Twenty-seven thousand people are yearly dying in car accidents. That is too many. Starting in Low Gear Is Much Preferred Practice Starting in low gear is a better practice than starting in second, when viewed from the standpoint of protecting the clutch. But, because it is rather a retarding process when one is in traffic, many motorists prefer to let the clutch take the additional burden of starting in second. One way to get around the difficulty is to practice getting out of low gear quickly. Use it only long enough to get the car under way; but, it is far wiser to use it. AUTOMOBILE NOTES A Carlisle, Pa., farmer has been hit three times at the same grade crossing and still lives It seems that the well known common law, which requires the word "amazing" in all automobile advertising, has been amended to include "stamina." According to a returned college student, this country's 25,000,000 cars figures out exactly at the rate of five persons to the front seat of every automobile. After pumping up four tires the other morning, to give them an additional 15 pounds pressure, the Office Crab said he was air-minded the rest of the day. Gasoline Dangers Are Not Fully Appreciated "Familarity with gasoline should not make one less cautious of the dangers attending its use," says William H. Stewart, Jr., president of the Stewart Automobile school. "While it is well to know the safe side of gasoline, it is far more important to know the dangerous side. People who handle gasoline continually are apt to overlook the fact that danger is always present, turking unseen, but ready to work harm as soon as the conditions are right for an explosion or a fire. "Probably the greatest danger comes from the fact that the vapor is very heavy and colorless. Since it cannot be seen, there is little indication of its presence. It may accumulate at the bottom of a closed room or on the floor of a garage until some one drops a lighted match and sets fire to it. When allowed to accumulate in this manner its explosive power is tremendous. "It is evident, then, that care must be taken to avoid such accumulation. Keep the premises ventilated so that the vapor will be dissipated as fast as it is formed. Do not spill gasoline, being especially careful while filling tanks. One of the most dangerous devices is a gasoline sprayer, used in cleaning the motor. It should never be used in a garage, and is not safe even in the open air. The operator sprays the gasoline on different parts of the engine as he uses the brush. By this process enormous quantities of vapor form which travel to a considerable distance seeking a flame. The operator cannot help breathing some of the mixture, which is injurious."

When washing out a filter, such as an oil filter, care should be taken to pass the gasoline or other washing fluid through the wire gauze in the direction opposite to the normal flow of oil through the device. The reason for this is that if gasoline is passed through in the same direction as the oil it will probably leave particles of fluff or other substances that might have been caught, sticking just where they were, while washing in the opposite direction would dislodge them. Cane Alcohol Useful as Cane alcohol has been used with some success in Brazil as a substitute for gasoline, the price of which increased 20 per cent last year. Tests have shown that the alcohol is the cheaper fuel at present prices, but admitted objections to its use are gumming of valves and cylinders, "knocking," smoke, viscosity and the high ignition point. Much interest has been shown lately in an alcohol mixture which eliminates these features at a slight additional cost per gallon. REV. DR. RUSSELL C. 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 "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 internes 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 citizens in the medical and nursing professions and as to whether equal opportunities are afforded 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 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 hospital staff for such action as they deemed best for the hospital. There has been no attempt to violate (with the right 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 $350,000 in bonds for on East Side "jim-crow" hospital, at a stormy City Council finance committee hearing, Monday afternoon. The opposition was led by the Rise Resistance Club of Clayborne George, who admitted the need of additional hospital facilities need of additional hospital facilities, something always the case, 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. They were in segregation. Dr. Brown said, "It could not help but become so." Although he had not signed the Gregg ordinance, "Color-Line" City Manager Will R. Hopkins declared he was unqualified in favor of it. Of course! There was no chance of the ordinance being acted upon favorably by the Council, however, since no bond negotiations had to be conducted 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 op- 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 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, interests and community, 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, the resolution's reference to "the Jewish section, the Italian section, the Irish section, etc.", reminds one of the section 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 Jewish section 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 a sacrifice to the city. Their statement that "they are opposed to any city institution which practices segregation placed alongside of their advocacy --- posed 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 defeated all to bond issues or the bill he said. This Councilation (has no confidence in Hopkins) that such a policy would be adopted, but that he "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. This thing (Gregg's scheme) cannot help but end in segregation. The needs are great, but I would rather 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 coerced in nurses equal opportunities with white people at the present City Hospital" 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 administra-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 co-operation reasons". Another reason "colored" 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 proposal. Gregg said the proposal isn't made in good faith, 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. "We chose the former course with the Phillips Hockey Association, and now our girls can't go to the W. Y. C. A." The TRUTH! Another high spot of the discussion was when Councilman Russell Brown said: "If this committee recommends the passage of this of the "jim-crow" hospital is positively silly, and if they really were in earnest in a "determined effort to secure justice and lawful rights, to participate in the present hospital, offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nurses" they would not offer more and greater discrimination, segregation and "jim-crow" action to prove said opposition. This latest movement calls for a local court to oversee the "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. SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE IN SEARCH OF RELIEF BUT IT REMAINED FOR BON - TONE TO DO THE TRICK "Bon-Tone Ended Years of Misery", Says Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Nanielee Adams, 4822 Portland Ave., states: "I was very sick A. and suffered a lot in the past five years. I haven't touched a mess of cabbage in all that time and I'm very fond of cabbage. My stomach was full as she slept as she there was a lump in it as big as my hand and the least pressure Demands Results. (Gregz) resolution (for a 'jim-crow-east' side branch of the City Hospital) would not longer have my name appear on the roll of Council as a member. I will resign before my time expires (Jan. I, 1, '30) and I give notice now that I will vote 'no' to the constitution as a member 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 en- gagement." Gregz said that would of course, in itself make 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 pertinently said, in calling Mayor John Marshall's attention to the matter, that "positively the whole underlying motif, of the Gregg resolution for $350,000 bonds for an alleged emergency hospital" on the East Side of our city, is implemented 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 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, illiterate, and 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 internes than it would be at the established one. So there you have the crux of the whole thing. That 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-daughter in the Nurses' Training School at the City Hospital from which Col. Horace C. Bailey has and his "Color-Line" City Welfare Director, Dud Blossom, barred her, a few weeks ago. George A. 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 OLD Reliable" Gazette. Come on City Commissioner H. Come on City 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. Bon-Tone is being introduced in Cleveland at Weinberger's Drug Store. 817 Prospect Ave. Call at this store and see the Bon-Tone man meet meeting crowds daily. He will tell you more about this great medicine—Advt.
