Williams were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Reeves, Sunday—Mrs. Addie Young was hostess to the Get-Together Dr. L. Garland Penn. by H. J. Fuggett; solo, L. C. Underwood; address, Lulu Lue, ex. sec. Belmont "Y"; solo, "My Task"; Ruby Cromer, and a selection by the G. R. club. Rev. C. B. Dusenbury is pastor of the church. There was an enjoyable recital, Tuesday evening, and a celebration by the church by Madam Celia Lewis, a lyric soprano of New York City. The Progressive league held its anniversary celebration at Tabernacle Baptist church, Sunday afternoon. THAT "THRIFT MEET." The so-called "thrift-meeting" at St. Paul's Zion A. M. E. church, late Sunday afternoon, turned out to be an old fashioned "experience" meeting. The speakers were: Atty. Wm. R. Green, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette; Councilman C. George, Atty. Alex. H. and Mrs. Martin, the latter our member-elect of the school-board; Mrs. Pridggeon Jennie C. Hunter, ex. sec. P. W. A.; Attys. S. C. Glenn and N. L. McGhee, Mayor Arthur Johnston of Miles Heights Village, Herbert S. Chauncey, Rev. J. P. Poote of St. Paul's church, Dr. O. A. Childers, and Dr. L. N. Bundy who presided. Most of them had only a few minutes allotted them because of lack of time. The attendance was good. The editor's time, that is most of his speech, was devoted to exhorting our people to save more and spend less, and thus improve their individual financial standing and that of all of our legitimate business enterprises, for then they would have far more money to spend with them, and also said that the failure of too many of our people to meet their financial obligations with local banks, savings and loan companies was largely responsible for the difficulty some of our people are having to negotiate loans; also, that we have NOT "milliones in the banks of Cleveland", as some are won't to assert, and that a million dollars is "a lot of money". Etc. Etc. He was most generously applauded. Decline Leadership New York City — Declaring themselves too busy, Fred R. Moore and John C. Hawkins, aldermen, in line for promotion because of seniority, have declined the minority leadership among Republicans. The minority leadership receives a salary of $7,500 instead of $5,000 as an ordinary alderman. Joseph C. Baldwin (white) was chosen leader. It was addressed by Councilman W. S. Vaughan, Mayer Joseph L. Helfernow, Dr. W. O. Harper of Philadelphia who made the anniversary address. He is a former pastor of Third Baptist church, this city. The pastor of Centenary church presided. Tabernacle glee club furnished the music—Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, supt. of the Cleveland-Coumbia M. E. Church district, presided an exceptionally well-written sermon, Sunday evening, to a large congregation. He is here on a $5,000 financial rally for Centenary church. YOUNGSTOWN—At the dedication services of St. Stephens Presbychurch, Dec. 4, Rev. H. M. Mosby, pastor of Centenary M. E. church, delivered the sermon. St. Paul's A. M. E. choir, under the direction of Rev. S. H. McBeeFurnished the mumu night. The sermon was "W. talk club, Wednesday afternoon." Mr. and Mrs. Archie C. entertained their grandmother, Mrs. Mary Donaldson, at dinner, Sunday, and visited in Dayton, that evening and Monday.—Mr. Isaac Williams of Columbus is visiting his sister, Mrs. Jane Yohng.—Mrs. L.

Donaldson of Columbus visited his mother, the first of the week. SOLDIER'S HERO MEDAL Awarded a 24th U. S. Infantryman by President Herbert Hoover. Columbus, Ga.—In the presence of the entire 24th Infantry drawn up for review on the parade grounds, Nov. 30, Col. Paul C. Galliber pinned upon the uniform of Private Lawrence A. Tillis, of Co. G. the Soldier's Medal for Herosim. Private Tillis rescued four comrades from drowning when two 24th Infantry men into an open drawbridge, the night of March 30, 1929, and plunged into seven feet of water. Fully dressed, he rescued four men who were unable to swim, bringing them to shore. The bushes carried the regimental baseball team, which had just played a game at Tuskegee Institute. The citation, awarded by President Herbert Hoover, by the Secretary of War and was accompanied by a letter from Major-General S. L. Fuqua, chief of infantry. A QUEER MINISTER-LEADER. Cleveland, O. Dec. 9, '29. Rev. C. F. Reisner, Pastor, Chelsea M. E. Church, New York City. Dear Sir: — The N. Y. Times quotes you as saying, recently, in a Sunday evening sermon: "Even Negro leaders believe that their people thrive best in their own churches". German and other class, group or race leaders say the same thing about their own people. And yet, is it always true or any good reason why you and others of your various races, classes or groups should be barred from membership in any Christian church they may, for good and sufficient reasons, desire to connect themselves with? What kind of "christianity" is it that would answer this question in the affirmative? Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. BLAME U. S. FOR HAITI TROUBLES New York City. — The N. A. A. C. P. has charged that the incompetence and misrule by the American occupation are responsible for the unrest in the little republic of Haiti, in a statement issued here, Monday. It quoted at length from charges furnished the Department of State, at Washington, D. C., over a month ago by the Hon. Percival Thoby, former charge d'affaires of the Haitian legation at Washington. The association urged the appointment of an impartial commission, including Afro-Americans, to investigate and reconstruct the conditions in Haiti, the statement quoted Mons. Thoby as saying the election of Louis Borne as president of Haiti on April 10, 1922, by fourteen members of the council of state, was "in contemptuous contravention of the constitution" of Haiti, and that is true. Mons. Thoby also was quoted as saying Haitian citizens were subjected to "relentlessly harsh treatment" by the Americans; that "the real and sole ruler of Haiti is Gen. Russell, special representative of the president of the United States"; and that the "electoral law is simply a vicious confiscation of the electorate by a dictatorial power". And all this is true, too. A statement signed by many of the lawyers of Port au Prince and asserting that they would abstain from pliding the bill would be during the "present state of agitation was transmitted to the State Department, Tuesday night, by American High Commissioner in Haiti, John H. Russell. It said; "The association of the attorneys of the bar of Port au Prince, Haïti, announces that in view of the deployment of the armed forces which has thrown into agitation the city of Port au Prince; considering that this brutal intervention in the presence of the pacific and justified claims of the falkan people is of nature to disturb its serenity; in consideration of the fact that machine guns are trained on the place of justice from the barracks; believing in addition that the state of agitation existin the republic cannot permit it to live in lawfulness and peace; has decided, until a new order, to abstain from pleading before the court. "Signed—Lesospasin Stepin, O, Vincent, Pierre Hudincourt, Morel T. Laleau." POOR BLEEDING HAITI! Imperialism's U. S. Marines Attempting to Crush Latest Haitian Strike—More U. S. Outrage. Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—U. S. Marines, who have been illegally occupying Haiti for years, have declared martial law, under the command of Col. Richard M. Cutts, in order to break a strike of the Haitian employees of the customs office. However, the strike threatens to spread beyond the custom office, where it began, one morning last week, when the employees entered all offices with clubs to drive out any laggards, throwing typewriters at two Yankee bosses who tried to break the strike, injuring the two slightly. Spreading the fight to the street, the strikers met an American marine officer coming on the scene with marines, and gave him a good beating with rocks and bricks. U. S. marines are the only supporters of an imposter who calls himself "president of Haiti", who was "elected" by the rides of the marines and who is a busy "bootlicker" of American imperialism and its agents. His name is Luis Borno, and he is so cordially detected by all Haitians that his "presidency" would end very suddenly were it not for the presence of the marines. So much has been stolen and taken from the public treasury that the custom are of offering for their wages. In addition, the dictatorial school system has caused a strike of 10,000 students—all the way from kindergarten to university students. All attempts at compromise have failed, and the school strike continues. Spirit Medium "Inspired" Witness Spirit Medium "Inspired" Witness, Akron, O—Perry Dorman, Saturday, escaped a first degree murder trial in common pleas court for the death of James Whitehurst, when it was discovered that the witness, upon whom the state relied as its ace, had fabricated her story from things he knew, and spired spirit dium. Whitehurst was killed while working at the public dump in Kenmore. Robbery was the motive the state intended to prove. Another Victory. Topeka, Kan.—Another sterling victory was won here recently when a local court issued a restraining order on the local school board compelling it to permit our children to attend a new public-school with other children in that school district. Thus does the new northern effort to segregate our people in one way or another get another deathblow. Fight (in the courts) for your rights and privileges should be our slogan everywhere, particularly here in the North. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION In Ohio and West Virginia Given Death Blows by the Courts—Atty. Martin in This State and Atty. Nutter in W. Va., Lead the Legal Battles. Columbus, O.—A splendid victory, against the miserably insulting residential segregation, is the case won, Nov. 20, '29, in this city, by Alex. H. Martin of Cleveland, attorney for Mrs. Daisy Hall Rice, a life-long resident of this city. The case originated in an action to oust Mrs. Rice (from the possession of a $25,000 lot she had purchased) on the basis of a white property owners' covenant which would prevent the sale to and ownership of court people. Judge Cown of Belmont County, sitting in the Franklin County common pleas court by assignment, sustained a motion by Mr. Martin for a directed verdict in favor of Mrs. Rice. Now Comes West Virginia! Charleston, W. Va.—The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, in a sweeping decision handed down, Nov. 21, in the Huntington segregation case, brought by H. B. White against Lewis White and his wife of Huntington, held that: "A restriction in a deed conveying a fee simple estate providing that the property embraced 'shall not be conveyed, demised, devised, leased or rented to any person, without a period of fifty years is void as incompatible with the estate granted." This decision has a far-reaching effect as like restrictions are found in practically every town and city of any size in this state, especially where new additions have been laid out in the last 10 or 12 years. It was written by Judge Maxwell and covers 24 typewritten pages. He reviews the authorities at length and concludes by saying: TINKERING WITH THE CITY CHARTER Cleveland Electors Will Vote Out of Existence, Next Year, Sure. Cleveland's next charter (there won't be any "next charter" and the one we have will be voted out, next year) should contain a corrupt practices act with special reference to large campaign expenditures, Chairman Saul S. Daneaucaud, last week Friday night, as the unofficial charter commission, which he appointed, started its work in the City Council chamber. Continuing to pay the United States Senate refused a seat to William S. Vare because he spent $1.43 a vote", Daneaucaud said, "while in the last charter campaign the so-called good people of Cleveland spent $1.55 a vote. Is buying votes a virtue when it is done by the good people?" Dr. Walz "Not Personal". "I don't want to become personal," said Councilman Walz, "but we've got a man in here as manager (Hopkins) and God Almighty can't remove him, though I'm satisfied if it was put up to the people he'd voted out 2 to 1, and I challenge anyone to disprove this statement". Dr. Walz then submitted the resolution of the Cuyahoga Club's committee on municipal affairs, recommending that any new charter should contain the following provisions: Excellent Suggestions. 1—A mayor elected for a two-year term. 2—A City Council elected by wards, the number of wards to be ascertained by redistricting the city on the basis of one ward for each 50,000 persons. 3—Candidates for mayor and Council to be nominated at party primaries, with provision or independent political party. 4—Council to appoint civil service commissioners, with not more than two to be members of the same political party. 5—Contracts in excess of $500 to be approved by the Council. 6—Charter to provide for a port commission. 7—Voting machines to be used at elections. A Detroit Pastor (White) Protest Denial of Merit to Two Military Officers Detroit, Mich.—In protest against the refusal by the council of his church of membership to two Afro-Americans, Rev. Adelbert J. Helm of Bethel Evangelical church formally resigned at the morning service, Sunday. The church tabled the letter of resignation. Orville Brummer, church director of education, also resigned in protest. "To refuse church membership to anyone on the ground of color or race is to deny the most obvious form of the sound to give the ethical sanctions of Christian race prejudice!" Rev. Dr. Helm asserted in his letter of resignation which is a bitter indictment of prejudiced American "christianity". THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari-son with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

"But on principle and reason, sus- tained by what we deem the better considered cases, and, we believe, by the weight of authority, we hold Atty. Alexander H.

Zion Baptist church, Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Georgefor-Council committee, was an unqualified success in every respect. A large crowd was in attendance and the speakers "were a legion," including Natl. Republican Committeeman Maurice Maschke, Mayor John Harey and author of the Book Harry E. Daws. Councilman-elect L. N. Bundy, Mayor Arthur Johnston, the editor of The Gazette, Councilman and Mrs. Clayborne George, and others. Mrs. Margaret Whiting made an excellent presiding officer and Mrs. Nathaniel Bowen and Miss Elizabeth Johnson sang. Mr. Maschke made an excellent impression in his speech, giving great encouragement and stressing the absolute necessity of registering and being a member of the Council, discussed briefly the importance of our three councilmen functioning, amicably and successfully, after the first of the year for the "good and welfare" of our people of this community, the city and the Republican party. Atty. Wm. R. Green, who followed the editor, started his talk with an exhibition of a "sour-grape" taste and feeling that a few in the large audience understood and wound up with a description of his "war-horse" campaigning that was somewhat amusing if not illuminating. We met with not only well-developed grouch. One seemed to take Willie's remarks seriously, however, as usual. The ladies served refreshments in abundance to all. PICKENS SNICKERS At Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons' Proposed Candidacy to Succeed New York City. — If Simmons wants to be Congressman from Chicago, our advice is, that he try to satisfy the Negroes of America, especially those of the North, and more particularly those in the First Congressional District of Illinois. It was those Chicago Negroes who sent De Priest to Congress, and those Negroes will determine De Priest's successor. Hoscoe Conkling Simmons is simply hunting in the wrong woods, when he is seeking an office from the hands of Chicago Negroes by running down South and trying to make good first with "our white folks". The Montgomery Advertiser (Simmons political support) has always stood by denying the Negro even the right to vote, alone the right to go to Congress. Every boost Simmons can get from a source like that ought to be a kick for him when the campaign goes going in Chicago, next year. If he wants to go to Congress from Chicago, he had better run on back there and tell Chicago about it. Wm. Pickens. We would like to ask Arthur Brisbane, editor of the N. Y. Journal, when "white rule" ever existed in Hawaii since the presidency of the great Toucanist. Up the advent of the present pernicious and shameless "American Occupation" of that little "Negro" republic? --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN UNION IS STRONGER 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 60,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1929. Bishop and Mrs. Edward Thos. Demby of Little Rock, Ark., and Mrs. Margaret E. Warren and niece. Miss Lorene, of Detroit have also remembered the editor with very pretty Xmas and New Year's greetings. Thank you good friends. Those two victories, mentioned elsewhere in this paper, against residential segregation are most encouraging indeed especially so in the light of the great Warley victory in the U. S. Supreme Court in 1917 Ohio, our adopted state, and West Virginia, our native state, have covered themselves with glory in this matter, at least. On with the battles for racial progress! --- The editor of The Gazette thorously enjoyed a good long visit, last Saturday afternoon, from his long-time friend and co-worker in the local political field more than thirty years ago when he was a Republican—Dr. F. W. Walz, councilman. Everybody in Cleveland knows him as the outstanding peoples' advocate in the City Council. A leader and friend of the race without a peer in that august body, as Dr. Walz. --- Dr. Leroy N. Bundy says his failure to appear as the speaker at St. James Forum, Sunday afternoon week, as announced, was the result of his arriving in the city that day on a train that was two hours too late and not because of the vigorous and inexcusable opposition of St. James' pastor to his election to the city council, during the recent campaign. Like many others, he doubtless does not take Rev. D. Ormond Walker's political activity seriously. Hirst and Moulton schools of West Park which many of our children attended, were recently closed by the board of education and pupils from these schools were made to walk a mile and a half to a new building, just erected. This necessitated their crossing three dangerous intersections. With the aid of a committee from West Park, Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our newly elected member of the school board, succeeded in making the board pay the car-fares of these children. We congratulate Mrs. Martin on her first successful achievement since her election, Nov. 5, '29, even though she is not yet in office. There are more cases awaiting her, of course. GET OUT OF HAITI! The U. S. marines, who for more than a dozen years have been illegally occupying and controlling Haiti last week declared martial law, under the command of one Col. Richard M. Cutts, not only "to break a strike of the Haitian employees of its customs office" and the outraged Haitian people, but also for the clearly evident purpose of forestalling any action on the part of President Hoover and the U. S. Congress to withdraw the marines from the little black republic and thus restore to it its government which this government thrue the U. S. marines has usurped. As we have said, this country has no legal right to rob that country of its control, and its long list of crimes in its outrage of the Haitians is a stench in the nostrils of all South American countries, particularly. This and the practical U. S. marine control of Nicaragua are what alienate the good will of those countries, something the President apparently so greatly covets, more than all else. Therefore, it is high time for him and the U. S. Congress to withdraw U. S. marines from both Haiti and Nicaragua. Get out of Haiti! "HOSPITAL SHORTAGE SOON". Study of the alleged urgent necessity of a downtown city hospital to take the place of Lakeside when the latter moves to University circle is provided in a resolution introduced EVER SINCE MOM GAVE THAT PARTY FOR MY COUSIN PATRICIA ALL THE FELLER'S HAS BEEN CALLIN' HER UP ON THE TELEPHONE UNTIL NOW, ITS OUTTA ORDER AN IT MAKES ME TIRED BECAUSE I GOTTA RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE AN TELL EM WHAT TO DELIVER TO OUR HOUSE in City Council, Monday evening, by Councilman P. F. Rieder and referred to the committee on health and sanitation. Our Councilmen will do well to keep "a sharp eye" on this resolution, especially since a meeting in one of the country clubs, near Cleveland, held Tuesday by a number of more or less prominent men (white) in several walks of life, has apparently given rise to the following editorial which appeared in the Cleveland Daily News on Wednesday: Plenty of Hokum. Calling attention to an emergency soon to be created because the city has not provided for a hospital downtown to care for emergency cases, the Bulletin of the Academy of Medicine, presenting plain facts, raises a vital question that ought to be answered by the city council, which voted down the bond issue for such a hospital. When the Lakeside hospital moves to University circle on Oct. 1 of next year only Charity hospital will be left to care for accident cases in this section. Even with the other hospital in the field now, it is crowded to capacity. Which means that many who are injured in accidents after that date will need attention, for mental attention, and must be carried for several miles in an ambulance before they reach a hospital in which there is room to receive them for treatment. Everyone knows that the element of time is vital in accident cases. That a difference in minutes may be the determining factor of life or death. And that unnecessary delay always causes needless suffering. Accidents will continue to happen in that section. Automobile and industrial accidents, plenty of them, for this is the most hazardous location in the city. Since that is true, it is not strange that the Bulletin delay always causes needless suffering, point of the physicians of the city reached this logical conclusion: "On the day Lakeside hospital moves to its new quarters this city will be faced with a situation which will bring down on those in power criticism of a type which will brook no evasive reply". The above should not mislead anybody. All this "bleeding at the heart" for a "hospital shortage soon", but which admittedly does not now exist, is for a purpose and that purpose is to unload the Lakeside Hospital property on the city when it hasn't the money to put in shape for use a half dozen or more closed wards at the City Hospital. It is simply a "smoke screen"—that "hospital shortage soon" talk-for the purpose of helping Color-Line City Manager Will Hopkins and his Color-Line Welfare Director Dud Blossom do two things: first the unloading just referred to, in order to please their friends on the Board of Trustees of Lakeside Hospital to be located in University circle, next year, and also to arrange to segregate the "Negro" patients of this city in the old Lakeside Hospital plant, thus making openings for Dr. E. J. Gregg, councilman, and his "Friday", little (Dr.) Jimmie Owen, both Democrats. That is really all there is to this "bleeding-at-the heart, smoke screen, hospital shortage soon" effervesence talk and newspaper publication. The fact that "the City Council voted down the bond issue for such a hospital" does not seem to mean a thing to the Bulletin of the Academy of Medicine, Hopkins, Blossom and their kidney. They see every thing imaginable happening to the people of this city if their deal to unload that old Lakeside hospital property on the city does not go thru. This, too, in the face of the fact, as we have already stated, that there is plenty of wards not in use at the City Hospital which can be made available quickly at a slight cost, and the other fact that there is not now nor will there be in the next few years any danger of any sick persons suffering from "delay" or the need of the prompt medical (hospital) attention the News' editorial holds up as its principal "bugaboo". That that paper would urge a "jim-crow" hospital on this community in such a way surprises us and will undoubtedly cause thousands of its readers of color to discontinue patronizing "The News". As for Hopkins and Dud Blossom they are going out of the City Hall and out of office just as soon after the first of the year as possible. They are going, rest assured of that. Word has reached The Gazette that R. W. Jellife, of the Playhouse in E. 38th St., is mixed up in this "high-binding, Jim-crow effort". How about it, Mr. Jellife? The great mass of our people of this community are interested greatly and want to know who are our friends and who are our enemies, OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. **Con** 6278.

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.

(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 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 alike to all citizens and regardless of race, nationality, sex, religion, 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, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

COULDN'T USE HER ARM BECAUSE OF NEURITIS Feels Like a Queen Now Thanks to Bon-Tone. Mrs. Margaret E. Wilson, 1410 W 9th St., Chester, Penna, says, "The agony I suffered with neuritis was terrible. My left arm and fingers would swell up so that I lost the use of the arm. My liver was inactive and kidneys were weak and this condition forced me to arise several times during the night, thereby breaking my rest. After eating, my stomach PETER A. BROWN would sour and gas would form and I would belch for hours and often would have spells of vomiting. I was troubled with constipation since childhood and always had to take pills of some kind for this condition. My nerves were bad, too, and I sure did feel miserable. The very first bottle of Bon-Tone made my stomach feel better and after the second bottle I regained the use of my arm and the swelling all left. Now, I sleep the whole night through—my kidneys are O. K, and cause me no trouble. I can eat anything I want now without gas or discomfort of my stomach. My knees are stitches and constipation is but a memory. I feel like a queen and everyone who suffers as I did should certainly give Bon-Tone a good trial and I feel sure they will get the same wonderful results that I did."

Cadet Parham "Holding His Own' at West Point U. S. Military Academy. West Point, N. Y.—Maj. Gen. Wm. R. Smith, superintendent of the U. S. Military Academy here, deplored the publicity Cadet Alonzo S. Parham of Chicago has received and stated that it was having a most harmful effect. "This young man is absolutely on his own, exactly as every other cadet, and to single him out merely because of his color is un-American. Parham's academic standing in mathematics has been commented on in the press". Gen. Smith said and continued: "While he is deficient in that subject, at one time there were 18 other cadets with lower marks in it and at the present time there are 10 below him. In Parham's class at present a total of 42 cadets are deficient in mathematics, while in the third class there are 61 cadets below our required standards". Is Parham isolated from the other cadets in any way outside of rooming alone? "Have orders been issued requiring cadets to refrain from talking to Parham or having social relations with him?" the general was asked. "No," Gen. Smith replied. "If I discovered any officer, or cadet issuing such orders or joining a movement of such kind of such unstable thing I would immediately bring him before a general court-martial."

This time, to maintain her reputation of being capricious, she introduces the satin hat in advance of its scheduled time. Usually the millinery world expects satin to make its appearance with the ringing of the New Year bells, or later. This season, however, satin is making a premature appearance, albeit a most welcome one. Among the Paris present-moment successes is the black felt hat with a brim of black satin turned off the face and widening at the side. Such a model, done in matching color would top the ensemble or frock most charmingly. A good suggestion this—take a piece of the satin of your newest frock to your milliner who will match it up with felt and turn out a stunning ensemble chapeau Another charming French mode uses a ruffle of black satin gathered into a tight-fitting cap, the latter made of links of satin folds so interworked as to achieve a fanciful open-work effect. The model centered in the group pictured shows how very handsome the new satins are. This one carries out the long draped side intricacies which are so characteristic a style trend. Also there is the favored foldback cuff which reveals the brow—and a glittering ornament such as are smartly in vogue. Satin and felt are not, however, carrying all the honors, for tweed—gay colorful, fanciful tweed—as a prize-winning competitor. A tweed sports set, like the one in the picture THROUGH NOVEL SLEEVES MAKE T SLEEVEES, aided and abetted by all types of fur, have become the plaything of fashion. Whether it be the coat, the blouse, the ensemble, or the one-piece frock, each and all testify to the outstanding importance of fanciful sleeves in the mode. The costume in the picture is one among many instances where sleeves say "It" most eloquently. This modish ensemble is of brown kasha cloth trimmed with brown astrakhan. The front of the one-piece dress is vested with a clever insert of matching satin. The hat is one of those novelty berets which milliners, if called upon, will make of the cloth of the suit. The hemline descends to fourteen inches above the floor, a very proper and a very conservative move for it to make, considering the exaggerated lengths to which dressier hemlines are going. Pumps are worn with this ultra chic suit, because fashion has sent forth the word that pumps are very smart for street wear. And now back to the original theme—sleeves and their novel fur trims. Concerning them one is almost tempted to say that there is a thrill with every sleeve. Certain it is that when it comes to sleeves, genius overlooks no opportunity to exploit the unique and the sometimes very fantastic. Among sleeve vagaries one finds on the new coats such arresting effects as bands of fur winding in spiral fashion up to and beyond the elbow. There are also sleeves, the lower portion of which develops into a wide bell, this same being made of fabric-like fur. Then there is the cloth sleeve which bells over an under puff Don't T But Give it A or similar, is finding its way into every well-equipped wardrobe. These millinery tweeds, most of them, are of such extremely loose weave they look almost like basket cloth. These gay tweed accessory sets have a way of brightening up the most somber-cloth coat, suit or ensemble to a fascinating degree. One of their charms is that they are to be had in colors which accent the general color scheme of the costume. That is, the predominate color may be the very popular forest green, or a brown mixture with orange, or one of the smart wine shades with multicolored border and so on and so on. Milliners, when working felts, are resorting to the use of pin tucks, with the result that many clever effects are accomplished, such as the youthful tucked-bow trim on the molded-to-the-head model shown last in the group. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1922. Western Newspaper Union.) FUR TREATMENTS HEMSELVES KNOWN UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD of fur, which is snugly banded at the wrist. Gauntlet cuffs of fur which flare to extreme are featured in the sleeve propaganda which is now going on. Just to keep up their reputation for eccentricity sometimes only one sleeve is furred, the other being quite furless. The unique in sleeve effects is expressed in that certain types of little cuffs are so designed that they may either be carried or slipped over the arm so as to serve as a cuff on the one 'sleeve, the other remaining cuffless. Very often two furs are employed in this working out of the unusual sleeves. This is especially true of flat furs which are sewed together with as much ease as if they were fabric. Seal is used with ermine to carry out the modish black-and-white touch on cuffs trimming the black cloth or velvet coat. Again fashionable color contrast takes place when beige caracul combines with brown in designful sleeve elaborations. The newest thing being that of white fur touches on black, the designer exploits the idea by complementing sleeves with pert bows ofermine tied around the wrists of the cloth or velvet coat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) throw Awa to a Friend THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1929 A man and a woman working on a vehicle on a flat surface. An auto amphibian which was invented and constructed by a resident of Winnipeg. The machine was recently driven through the streets of Winnipeg and then into the Red river. It then made the trip from Winnipeg to Lake Manitoba, up the Red river, a distance of fifty miles. It has a water speed of twenty miles per hour and is fitted with regular plane pontoons attached to racks fastened to the car and when out of the water they can be removed and put on top of the rack. It was designed principally for fishing. AVOID FREEZING WITH SOLUTIONS AVOID FREEZING WITH SOLUTIONS Undiluted Kerosene Used on Cars and Trucks. As a sharp freeze may seriously damage the auto or tractor engine, it is high time that every operator be giving attention to putting in some anti-freeze that will prevent such damage. Undiluted kerosene is being used more for anti-freeze in automobiles and trucks, and seems to give satisfactory results. Kerosene does not transmit heat so rapidly as water, and there might be some danger of overheating where the car must stand heavy continuous service. Kerosene Anti-Freeze. A car with kerosene anti-freeze should be watched carefully if it has to pull for a considerable time in mud or snow, especially in low gear. There is some smell, but very little more than with alcohol. There may be some danger from fire in the case of bad overheating, but little or none from the glove given off. Kerosene is hard on the radiator connections, but they ought to be replaced every other year anyway. Honey has been used by a good many motorists as an anti-freeze with quite satisfactory results. A mixture of half water and half honey is brought to a boil for several minutes and skimmed before being put into the cooling system. This will stand a temperature of 20 below zero before freezing and then makes a slushy ice which does not seem to do any damage. Only water needs to be added to the honey solution. Alcohol Best. Denatured alcohol is the most common substance to use as it does not have any destructive action on the metal or rubber hose, nor will it form any deposits of foreign matter to choke up radiator passages. It has the disadvantage that its boiling point is lower than water. A 30 per cent solution of alcohol protects to zero, 40 per cent to 20 below, and 50 per cent to 32 below. Reckless Drivers Must Pay for Violating Laws An increase in insurance premiums is to be levied against auto owners and operators in New York state who commit serious violations of traffic laws. The traffic violations for which an operator or owner of an automobile must show financial responsibility for future accidents are reckless driving, where injury to person or property results therefrom; speeding, where injury to person or property results; driving without an operator's license; driving while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of an accident without stopping. Give Transmission Gear Attention It Require The transmission gear demands attention as much as the engine, but it rarely gets it. Every 500 miles or so the engine is given fresh oil, but the transmission remains under the floor, forgotten. Fine metal particles, which are bound to wear off from the transmission and axle, gradually change the grease into a grinding compound. Much longer life from the bearings and gears may be had if the old oil and grease are removed, the case washed out with kerosene, and new, clean grease put in. Keeping Valves Straight Is of Utmost Importance Keeping the valves in order when removing them from the car is not a matter merely of inserting them in a board with suitable holes arranged in order. Unless this valve holder is marked for front and rear there is the possibility that it may be turned around, in which case the valves would be replaced in reverse order. Since valves tend to adjust them selves to their particular place, it is important to return them to their origi- nal guides. The properly marked valve holder makes this possible.

My ear is pained, 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. He finds his fellow guilty of skimming. Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.
