The advances of the periods in electrical equipment have been marked and in no field of electrical research has there been a greater improvement than in the field of starting, lighting and ignition.

New York.—Newspapers have recently been full of stories about lobbyys and lobbyists at our national capital. It has been revealed that Mr. Shearer through his efforts greatly enriched the shipbuilding interests; that Mr. Grundy has for a quarter century labored to protect the bloated corporations of Pennsylvania; that Mr. Evanson, thanks to the efforts of Senator Bingham, has practically dictated the new tariff commodities manufactured by his employers in the Nutmeg State, while Mr. William Burgess, representing the United States Pottery Association, has been so diligent in trying to keep a high tariff on imported chinaware that he has brought upon himself the censure of the Senate. Lobbyists are paid representatives of industries or groups stationed at strategic legislative points to further the interests of their employers. There is nothing sinister about their work unless it is hidden from the public. They are often of valuable assistance to the legislators and the public because a private interest frequently becomes a public one. I wonder how many Negroes have contributed to the coloration of their workforce for the colored people of this country. Certainly we need them as much as the hundreds of corporations and industries do. And we need them far more urgently than the Methodist Church, the Ku Klux Klan, the Prohibitionists and the advocates of the Sundays. More than any other group in this country we need to watch our 49 legislatures and see that no legislation inimical to our interests is introduced. We need to work to keep the brightly the fires of opposition to Negrophobia the fire of opposition to an unilynching law; we need to prevent, if possible, the passage of any more discriminatory legislation whether affecting labor, education or marriage and to work for the repeal of that already in force; we need civil rights laws in many more of the States and we need to see that they are enforced; we need to end the discrimination against Negro children in the distribution of Land, Social Security, School and other school supplies. We need, I repeat, a trained propagandist in Washington, D. C. and at every state capital. The cradle of laws is the legislature. Unless we are alert and make our power felt, when these laws are being born, we need not register surprise when we discover that they are inimical to our interests. Remember, it's the fellow who yell loudest that gets the most attention. The cost of such a powerful lobby would not exceed $5000 a year or less. We need every Negro man, woman and child. It is certain that Negroes who can afford to travel to football "classics" attend fraternal and church conventions and spend $50 or $60 a year getting their hair "done", can afford a nickel or even a dollar for the defense of their interests. YOUTH. You never are old when the fire within Burns on with the same old zest. When a smile from a girl wakes an answering din In the depths of your vagrant breast. When a spring moon smiles and the far sea calls, And the roads twist off in the dusk, When you feel there are no such things as walls, And a house is an empty husk. And what is a crow's foot, or two, or three, When the heart is young and the soul is free? E. Leslie Spaulding. DID HIS SHARE! DID HIS SHARE! Cleveland, Dec. 11, '29. Hon. Harry C.

In addition to your yearly cash donation, you did your share to wont making the drive such a huge success.

Marten, Publicity Sec. $15,000,000 in 20 Years. Washington, D. C.—The Department of the Interior bill reported to the U. S. House of Representatives, last week Thursday, carries an appropriation of $1,249,000 for Howard University and $424,000 for Fredholm Hospital. Howard received $600,000, this year. Rev. John Milton Waldron, 23 years pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, resigned, last week Tuesday. It was accepted immediately and he was voted $900 pay for three months in advance. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS EXCLAIM "NO BACK TO AFRICA FOR ME" IN IN BOSTON. Boston, Mass. — Addressing an audience of 2,500 at Cypress Hall, on a recent Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of Rush A. M. E. Zion church which was celebrating its 51st anniversary, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago declared that one of the worst crimes against the race is the accepting of money by so-called "Negro" leaders before and during campaigns. "The Black Grafter", "After the campaign they have been bound to pay for and are not in a position to demand recognition from elected office-holders to the extent of demanding good-paying jobs for capable men and women of the masses. These so-called "Negro" leaders should be allied more closely with the common people". Referring directly to Massachusetts, the Congressman said: "The Negroes of my city are doing big things. The stand of Massachusetts in the treatment of the Negro is envied by the Negroes of other states. It seems to me that you, too, should be united enough to be doing something." He suggested organization as the best means. He said if the "Negro" were organized, even in communities where they constituted just one-fifth of the population, and voted intelligently they could demand recognition. No Back to Africa for Oscar. "I deplore this talk of back to Africa for the Negro," said Congressman Robert B. Lewis, the best country on earth. Stay here. Fight for your rights; fight with the ballot. We have fought in every war this country has ever engaged in; that to my mind gives us the right that is accorded every citizen under the Constitution. I hope to live to see the day when the masses of Negroes will be found in respectable homes. That, too, will help us to demand our rights. But you must not overlook the fact that we must take advantage of the ballot lot system in the future." The Social Equality Myth. In speaking of the social equality "twaddle" which he considered the RAY MILLER'S "WHITEWASH"? Editor, The Gazette, Dear Sir:—County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller says he is willing to consider the dual investigation of the Cleveland Civil Service Commission 'asked by City Council committee (three Democrats), "if the request is made to him in the proper manner". The committee asked that Miller investigate evidence of perjury on the part of witnesses who testified before the committee, and evidence that men were kept off the "lay off" list and received pay from the city while idle. It is Miller's sworn duty to act on these charges regardless of the Council's wishes. The Council didn't have his investigation as a Republican councilman. However, newspapers had to force him to investigate a Democratic sheriff who was "white-washed". "Vague and Indefinite". Washington, D. C.—The House of Representatives rules committee has deferred action on the Porter resolution to authorize the President to appoint a commission to study the situation in Haiti, asserting the "measure is vague and indefinite as to its purpose". "Gramma", 126 Years Old. Bennettsville, S. C.—Mrs Amanda Covington died here, last Saturday morning. She claimed to be 126 years old. Physicians who treated her said her death was caused by influenza. Her eyesight and hearing were normal shortly before death. Kid Chocolate Whips Petrone New York, Dec. 18.—Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Dandy, won the decision over Dominick Petrone, New York Italian, after ten stirring rounds before 15,000 fans at the New York Coliseum, Wednesday night. Practice of barring our nurses and internes from training at City Hospital was hit by Councilman F. W. Walz, Sunday afternoon, in an address before St. James' forum. In discussing other civic matters, he told his audience that Cleveland would have a better gomement if it deserved it. He contended it was a "simple matter of individual interest" rather than a "matter of governmental system".

Look at my race, today. Every shade of color of the human being under the sun OSCAR DE PRIEST is found here. That to my mind is a good illustration of the white man's social activity and his so-called social equality." Congressman and Mrs. DePriest were guests of honor at an entertainment given at the Harriet Tubman House, under the aupices of the Women's Progressive Republican club of Ward 4, where they were greeted by over two hundred enthusiastic admirers consisting of political leaders of both races. They were also entertained at dinner by Pocohontas Lodge, Elks. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY With Christmas Doings at "Aunt Kate's"—Do Not Overlook These Children. "Aunt Kate" is a motherly woman of our race who lives in a comfortable rented-house in Scovill Ave. near E. 55th St, and boards children for the Humane Society. For eight years she has devoted her life to caring for children whose fathers and mothers are unable to care for them owing to sickness, death or misfortune. She did such excellent work last year her home was made a subsidized home for the emergency care of children. Children are given training in subsidized homes which makes it possible to adjust them in boarding or adoptive homes later on. Last year at Christmas time "Aunt Kate" had seven homeless children in her home. The Girl Scouts supplied them with a tree, fruit, candy and gifts, and "Aunt Kate" prepared a real Christmas dinner, so, although they were away from their families, they were very happy and as "Aunt Kate" said: "They all had a wonderful time because the children in the community held the tree and celebrate with them". This year there are three children in "Aunt Kate's" home and they are looking forward to Christmas and hoping that Santa Claus will not forget them. Ellen is five years old. She wants Santa to bring her some toys, candy, apples and oranges. James is three. He wants a "Kiddle Kar" and says he hopes he will get some fruit and candy too. Dorothy is a nice hooking girl twelve years old, and she is hoping for some doll dishes and doll furniture, fruit and candy. "Aunt Kate" is going to have a goose for dinner. Her sister sends the goose in from the country. She says: "I'll see they have a good dinner, but I have no money for a tree and toys". The Humane Society will try to see that they are remembered, but with 1145 foster homes to care for they have to make their money go a long way, so may not be able to provide all the things the children desire. Persons who would like to send fruit and candy, or possibly a tree can reach "Aunt Kate" at GRanger 2370-M. Her address is 3421 Scovill Ave. One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subaccribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929. Atty. Chester K. Gillespie has setied his case (for refusal of service) against the Euclid-Fairmount Co., which owns and controls Fenway Hall hotel, for a substantial sum, Dec. 16. How much, Chester? This case was filed and won under our Ohio Civil Rights law. Atty. Norman L. McGhee of this city has issued a timely plea, for our people to accept assignment to jury service, that ought to be heeded. Where our people are denied this and also the right to register and vote, they complain. Here where they can exercise both rights, or rather privileges, they entirely too often fail to take advantage of them. --- Dr. F. W. Walz met all expectations at St. James Forum, Sunday afternoon, making another of his characteristically fine addresses that showed the outstanding member of Cleveland's City Council to be the sterling, life-long friend of the race the editor of The Gazette has ever known him to be. Congratulations, Doctor! --- Former Councilman Tom Fleming's appeal will be heard by the state supreme court, Jan. 28 (the editor's birthday). Fleming was recently granted a review of his case by the court, and it now will be passed upon solely on its merits. Tom is under sentence of from two years and nine months to ten years at hard labor in the Ohio penitentiary. His prospects now seem brighter than at any time since his conviction. --- R. W. Jellife of the E. 38th St. Playhouse informs The Gazette that he was not in attendance upon that East Side City Hospital meeting, referred to in our last issue, and we are very pleased indeed to know this because we have always felt that Mr. Jellife held the interests of our people too closely to his heart to join in any movement that is calculated to do us the harm a "jim crow" hospital in this community would. Those Haitians who have asked this government to supervise their next election for President ought to know better than to ever make such a request. Surely they have not so soon forgotten the outrageous experience they and their countrymen had with the American marines in charge of the "election" which elevated Luis Borno to the Presidency. Either that or they are gluttones for punishment. We may be wrong in reaching this conclusion but we do not think so. --- Local Afro-American waiters will NOT be "ilim crowed" into a "separate union". They have too much pride, self and race respect for that. If the Jews, Germans and all other races can be admitted to the local waiters' union there is no good reason for making parishals of our waiters only by segregating them in a separate union. If they are wanted in the union there is only one way to get them and that is the right way—by opening the local waiters' union to them in common with all other members of the many races in this community. A resolution of confidence for U. S. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, praising his "successful fight in preventing Boss Vare of Pennsylvania from taking his seat in the U. S. Senate," has been adopted by the Catholic District league, St. Boniface's parish hall, W. 54th St. and Denlson Ave., and sent to Ohio's two senators and Congressmen Charles A. Mooney and Chester C. Bolton. Very good! Now let this christian organization be consistent and ask the U. S. Senate to unseat those southern U. S. Senators who obtain their seats by preventing Republicans from voting. Unless they WHAT'S THE MATTER SON? MY CAP IS ON THE DINING-ROOM TABLE AND I CAN'T GET IT - MOM HAS VARNISHED THE FLOOR AND IT'S NOT DRY YET do this, they will not impress the better-thinking part of the public a proper light. Next week Wednesday, Dec. 25, '29, and the following week Wednesday, Jan. 1, '30, Christmas and New Year's, respectively, are holidays, as everyone knows. Therefore, it will be necessary for our correspondents out of the City of Cleveland to send their news-letters a day earlier than usual, mailing them at their central post office on Sunday, Dec. 22, '29 and Sunday, Dec. 29, '29, AT THE VERY LATEST! All persons having anything for publication in our issues of Dec. 28, '29 and Jan. 4, '30 will please follow the instructions given in the preceding sentences and have in our office on Monday, Dec. 23 and 30, whatever they may wish published in the current issue of those two weeks. A "CRACKER'S" BLAST. Our only Congressman, the Hon. Oscar DePriest of Chicago, is a native of Alabama. Representative Allgood (surely misnamed), of that state, in order to get a little cheap notoriety and free advertising has refused to serve on an honorary committee (enrolled bills) of the U.S. House of Representatives because Representative DePriest was recently made a member of it by the speaker of the House, the Hon. Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati. The "cracker" (Allgood) said in resigning his membership on the committee: "Now that the Republican from Chicago has been added to it, I do not desire the honor". Someone should tell him that he won't be missed and that his resignation from the Congress would please many because narrow-minded, prejudiced members of his kidney can well be spared. --- AN ANOMALY. Atty Stanley L. Gilson is prosecuting a case of the Plantation Co., in Walnut Ave., this city, against the local waiters' union (white). This company employs all-colored help. The local waiters' union is trying to drive our waiters out of its employ by picketing the place, and thus compel the employment of members of the union. This in the face of the fact that the union refuses Afro-Americans membership. An anomaly and a plain attempt to deprive those Afro-American waiters, cooks, etc., of the right, as citizens, to work for a living, something the common plea court of this county ruled against in a similar case about three years ago. Mr. Gilson will have no trouble in winning the victory which will again notify organized labor, locally and generally, that such Ku Klux efforts will not be tolerated in this community and ought not to be in any other. The waiters' union stand against unionizing our waiters and against their employment, the they are willing to join it, has no foundation in fairness, justice or the law, and will not be upheld by our courts or any fair-minded person in this county or the state of Ohio. Teach them this lesson just as soon as you can, Atty. Gilson, and you will be acclaimed throut this community. The amusing phase of the matter is the fact that the waiters' union, with a large "foreign" membership, has not near as high an American intelligence standard as that of our waiters. --- LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH. The Cleveland N. A. A. C. P. branch has fully paid its quota for the current year, sending its $1296.48, last week. The quota of the branch was $2000, of which it had previously paid $710.37. The recent check for $1296.48 brings the total to $2006.85 for the year, 1929, says a report from N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in New York City. For this money and the thousands of dollars sent to the headquarters of the organization in New York City, in the years gone by, what has our people in this community, who contributed it, received in return? The annual report of its retiring president, Atty. Charles W. White, issued about ten days ago, tells of the mediocre accomplishments of the past year, for which he, under the circumstances, is entitled to major credit, because he was greatly handi- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 WATCH ME AND I'll SHOW YOU HOW TO GET TO THE TABLE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE FLOOR capped by the controlling influence in the branch, and held back because of its poor organization which he recommends changed materially, as follows: 1. That the office of executive secretary be immediately created. 2. That the office of second vice-president be created. 3. That a committee of five be appointed forthwith to the incoming president to survey the whole set-up of the branch as at present constituted and recommend changes and improvements, and means of carrying them out within sixty days from date. While the foregoing are undoubtedly necessary, Mr. White having served as president of the branch for several years, the one big change absolutely necessary is for the organization to throw off the "yoke" that has controlled it for several years, making it ineffective to such a degree as to cause it to lose the confidence, respect and very largely the support of our people of this community. This is no secret but locally a notorious fact. But for this banable control President Charles W. White would have accomplished something really material for our people of this community, in return for the thousands of dollars they have paid into it, and placed the branch in a far more favorable position, giving it real standing instead of its present lamentable position in the minds and hearts of about all "colored" Cleveland. It is this unfortunate heritage that has been handed over to Miss Eleanor Alexander, one of our oldest and best local public-school teachers whose position (as a teacher) makes it almost impossible for her to function fully and properly as the branch's president. Regardless of this fact, The Gazette is willing to assist her to the utmost of its ability and hopes that the reorganization suggested by her predecessor will materialize and she be left free to act according to her best judgment without the hindrance of the baneful control, referred to, that so greatly hampered Mr. White while president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, kill gallows decide on least disputes.

"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." IS IT ANY USE TO CON-TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and are unwilling even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's c'f no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE MAY CO.BASEMENT Christmas Sale of Men's Bathrobes Pop Never Thought of That.

This year it is the leopard coat which is laying siege to the heart, incidentally, the pocket book, of the young woman who aspires to dress up to the standard fashion sets for outdoor occasion. Most every coed who THE adroit manner with which fashionists are juggling the new princess lines to make them becoming to every type is something to admire. It is amazing, too, what a success they are making of it—playing, as they are, the princess theme in every conceivable variation. After all, it would seem as if this so-called princess silhouette, which is causing such excitement in the style world, is nothing more or less than a starting point of adventure for designers who, through artful fabric manipulation, are arriving at new goals of sartorial achievement. In the picture, dress design which "carries on" along lines a la princess, is shown at its best. This slenderizing satin frock is typical of the new style trend which exploits sophisticated simplicity. Here we see fabric manipulation brought to a high artistry. Also are we brought to a realization of the slenderizing possibilities of the new princess lines as fashion interprets them. Much of the charm of the formal satin frock which is alike flattering to madam or mademoiselle, centers in AND NOW IT IS THE WHICH CAPTURE RAH! RAH! RAH! The leopard coat wins at the football game. This year it is the leopard coat which is laying siege to the heart, incidentally, the pocket book, of the young woman who asplres to dress up to the standard fashion sets for outdoor occasion. Most every coed who is style-alert if she is not already the happy possessor of a leopard coat covets, unto the point of determination to acquire one even if she has to break into her Christmas fund at the bank to pay for it. And who can blame her with such captivating models to tempt her as are shown in the picture? This handsome coat emphasizes two important style points, namely: the favor for beaver as a trimming and the vogue for cunning little muffs. Beaver as a trimming both on contrasting furs and on cloth is one of the featured styles of the season. As to leopard not only for entire coats but wherever opportunity affords, this showy, spotted fur is being intriguingly worked into the mode this season. An outstanding fashion is that of the black cloth fur which is trimmed with leopard. Then, too, it is smart for this yellow-splotted pelt to finish off the neckline and cuffs of the seal or beaver coat. And again milliners are making wonderfully clever hat-and-scarf sets in which leopard fur plays a spectacular role. Don't T But Give it its enchanting tones and tints. Gleaming white satin, for all-white is so very smart this season, competes with exquisitely feminine delicate pinks, or that which is so fashionable in Paris at the present moment—pale blue. Then, too, any one of the off-white shades is adorable for the evening gown. Many of the ultra satin frocks omit the usual flower corsage, featuring instead a one-shoulder strap of glittering rhinestones, to which pendant are suspended which, falling as they do, oftimes to the waistline, are handsomely decorative. With these satins or classic simplicity very little jewelry is worn. The footwear also is in keeping with the general scheme, slippers being most often of the identical satin, or else dyed to match. If your preference runs to velvet, then velvet let it be, for some of the most fetching gowns noted at opera and dance are superbly modeled along princess lines, their subtle pastel tones being not the least of their charm. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) E LEOPARD COAT RES YOUTHS' FANCY Anyway you take it the novelty fur coat is a very important style factor in the outdoor enthusiast's wardrobe. A type which registers with chic in the sportsy group is the coat all of cream colored lapin with self collar and cuffs, and which flares from the shoulder. Other stunning coats combine brown pony with pale beige pony in checkerboard effect. Sportswear interest also centers around raccoon, otter and muskrat, the coats boasting novel collar and sleeve treatments. Youthful furs of this sort are the type which fashion especially sponsors at not only football games but all other outdoor events as well. It might also be added that the leopard fur coat has become a style factor for children as well as their elders. A novelty of recent appearance and which promises a widespread vogue is the fur shoulder cape with a high collar. Some of the very newest cloth coats have a detachable fur cape, the ensemble idea carried out with a matching muff. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

GAS GENERATED FROM WOOD RUNS TRUCK T An army motor truck, using for power the gases generated from a sackful of broken tent poles, pulled a load of more than thirty-eight tons. An army driver dumped a sack of broken tent poles into the top of the invention and a torch was then touched to the bottom of the machine. The driver turned a small crank at the side of the machine for three minutes, until the gases generated from the burning wood were forced into a series of condensers beneath the truck. Then the driver cranked the engine as if it were a gasoline motor and the engine roared its response. The present cost of one of the machines is $400. The truck is shown loaded with sacks of oats, while the new generator can be seen under the truck. CAREFULLY AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE CAREFULLY AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE Autoist Should Take Every Precaution in Winter. Chicago.—Motorists should take the utmost precautions to protect themselves from the danger of carbon monoxide during the winter months and the simplest is to never remain in a closed garage with the car running, according to a statement issued by the Chicago Motor club. Assumes National Proportions. It was said that the danger from carbon monoxide has assumed national proportions and an automobile running in an ordinary small garage with doors and windows closed will produce enough of the gas in a few minutes to cause death. "The only safeguard is never to run the engine unless the garage door is open or at least two windows," the motor club asserted. While there are no definite figures available on the annual toll of deaths from carbon monoxide, the census bureau says there were 2,378 deaths in 1923, while the number of automobiles has since nearly oubled. Get Into Open Air. The club pointed out that a car owner working in a garage with the engine running should go at once into the open upon feeling the slightest headache. Effective treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning was outlined as follows: 1. The victim should be removed to fresh air as soon as possible. 2. If breathing has stopped, or is weak and intermittent, or present in but occasional gasps, artificial respiration by the Schaefer method should be given persistently until normal breathing is resumed, or until after the heart has stopped. 3. Pure oxygen, or a mixture of 5 per cent of carbon dioxide in oxygen, should be administered for 20 minutes or more, beginning as soon as possible. Quick Acceleration Is Due to Reserve Power The quick acceleration of an automobile is due in a large degree to the amount of power reserve of the engine. Especially is this noticeable in the higher driving speeds. As an illustration of this, one horse may be able to move a load at a slow pace, whereas the same load can be moved much faster with the addition of a second horse. In designing certain cars factory engineers give them an unusual margin of reserve power. The 6-80 is equipped with a 72 h. p. motor; the 8-90 with a hundred h. p. straight eight motor, and the 120 with a 125 h. p. straight eight motor. Reserve power likewise plays an important part in the life of a motor. The engine which is compelled to deliver its full power to attain a certain speed is under a strain to maintain that speed. Gas and oil consumption are increased and the various parts begin to weaken. Pay Strict Attention to Rear Tire Pressure In these days when safety is the paramount issue at all times, it is natural to pay strict attention to front fire pressure to avoid underinflation and possibly of a blowout, but there is a tendency to neglect the rear tires. A rear tire blowout will cause a skid if the car is going over slippery roads or if in process of stopping at the time. That covers the safety point. From the mechanical standpoint the risk lies in carrying the rear tires at different pressures, caused by allowing one of them to become underinflated. Just as with carrying tires of different sizes on the rear wheels the differential is then made to act continuously. Since the differential is supposed to operate only on turns and when one wheel is forced to go over a bump, the excess action is certain to cause premature wear on the unit. EMERGENCY TOWING AXLE FROM SCRAP Few Pieces of Strap Iron and Two Bolts Needed. Two U-Bolts, some pieces of strap iron, and a front axle can be fitted together to form the emergency towing axle shown in the illustration. If the BRACE HOW TOWING DEVICE 15 ATTACHED An Emergency Towing Axle Made From Two U-Bolts, Some Strap Iron, and a Front Axle. car axle has broken off at the wheel, this auxiliary axle can be bolted to the axle housing, making it possible to tow the car to a service station where the broken axle can be replaced.—Popular Science Monthly. THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. How much less does it cost the farmer to pay for his automobile or truck today than in 1913? Ans. Thirty-eight to sixty-three per cent less. In 1913 it would take 1,562 bushels of wheat to buy an average car, whereas this same car can be bought today for 930 bushels of wheat. Q. What percentage of all the automobiles are registered in towns of under 10,000 population? Ans. Fifty-five per cent. Q. What is the percentage of closed cars manufactured in 1928? Ans. Eighty-eight and five tenths per cent. Ten years ago the percentage was only about 10 per cent, the other 90 per cent being open cars at that time. Q. What are among the commonest causes of making it necessary to be towed? Ans. Running out of gas and ignition trouble. Ignition system should be inspected in the spring and fall at least. Clean Battery Terminals to Prevent Corrosion Care should be taken that the battery terminals do not become corroded with acid, which not only interferes with the proper current from battery into cable, but also destroys the cables. Have the cables removed and the terminals and cable ends thoroughly cleaned, and then after they are put back, smear them heavily with cup grease. Ordinary stiff trowel roofing cement pressed under and over the terminals and cable ends is also an excellent material not only in keeping them clean but in preventing the battery acid from working out. A graphite grease is also an excellent material. --- AUTOMOBILE FACTS When a fender is dented, it pays to have it repaired and repainted at once. * * * * An occasional drop of oil on the spare tire lock may save time and trouble in the next change. * * * * Streets in Berlin have been made skidproof, but it's a safe bet that the average American driver could make his car cut up on 'em. * * * * "A bee will travel on an average 40,000 miles to make a pound of honey."

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 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 have to wait long for medical attention, and must be cared for by a hospital in case 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 which probably represents the viewpoint of the physicians of the city reached this logical conclusion: "Or it is that 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 everything 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 "bug-aboo". 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. Jelley, of the Playhouse in E. 38th St., is mixed up in this "high-binding, Jim-crow effort" How about it, Mr. Jelley? 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, whether colored or white. We know where Gregg, "little Jimmie" and their kidney of color stand and we want to know where ALL such, colored and white, stand.

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 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. An act of such a mob 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, may be used in a mannerably 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, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars from the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars from the manent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damnation, unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the advance 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 alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of a person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (63 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such lynch, 169 v. 1. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynch, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include the costs of the action, in the next successor that shall be a part of the 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 counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 1.9) 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 person. A person may be 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 came, 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.) 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: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching.ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. must another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for such lynching or for engaging therein. (63 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: Sec. 1294. Whereby the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-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 nationality, to all 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 fifty dollars, and, if any son 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. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY! "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some money. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus, Toledo, Steubenville, Zansville, Wellington, Xilong, Washington, C.H. Wyatt, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state to whom we can write relative to the matter. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." 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 a skin 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. ding It or Reading It
