St. Louis, Mo.—For many years on the day before Christmas, "The Poro Family", comprising the local personnel from Mrs. Annie Malone down to the newest worker in her army of employees, has had the habit of closing the year and inaugurating the new one with a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The occasion, atinature, numerous guests of prominence, serves as a joyous mournful feast, but also as a sort of stock-taking thanksgiving and review of the year's activities. "It's a reminder," said Mrs. Malone, founder and host, "that we are just one great family working together in a spirit of comradeship and with good-will, striving to serve effi- Mrs. Annie E. Malone. clently our friends and customers scattered everywhere over the land. One day a year, we relax and spend it in fellowship and happy pursuits". At one of the tables sat the 1929 class of diamond recipients. Every employee at the end of five years is awarded a diamond ring. In Poro circles a diamond serves as a sort of service stripe, a chevron of ability. Diamonds rest in the palm of the hand. S. Stone, personnel manager; Frederick D. Gardner, chief accountant; Mrs. Julia E. Matthews, Mrs. Nina M. Camp, Mrs. Mattie L. Travis, Mrs. Lela Hensley, Miss Mary Beasley, Mrs. Theresa Evans, Miss Ernestine Mahan, Mr. Roderick Davis. The highest number of rings, awarded in any one year, has been thirty. Brief speeches by guests, reports by visiting employees and presentation of some beautiful gifts to Mrs. Malone from various groups of employees concluded the remarkable dinner. The greatest challenge is the great COLLEGE, which is describing that the golden rule is applicable in business and that co-operation between owner and worker pays in dollars and cents as well as spiritual satisfaction. GRANTS AWARDS TO SIXTEEN. Gold and Bronze Medals and a Total of $4,900—One a Woman—For Achievement in Business, Music, Fine Arts, Science, Education, Etc. New York City.—Sixteen Afro-Americans were granted awards for notable achievement, today, by the Harmon Foundation. The names of the recipients are as follows: Race Relations: Gold award with $1,000 honorarium; Dr. Robert R. Mileon; Tuskegee Ala. Institute. Literature: Bronze award with $100 honorarium; Walter White, New York City. Dr. Robert R. Moton. Harry L. Freeman. Music: Gold award with $400 honorarium each to Harry T. Burleigh and Harry L.

Burleigh, a native of Erie, Pa., musical editor for Rleordi, and for many years a soloist in the choir of St. George's Episcopal church, New York City, is known for his arrangements of spirituals and for instrumental suites of which the Sketches" is perhaps best known. Harry L. Freeman, a native of Cleveland, O., is the composer of our first grand opera which was performed in Denver, Cleveland, Chicago and other places by a company he organized. He studied music under Johann Bock, a conductor of the Cleveland Choir, Orchestra. In 1912, he founded the Freeman School of Music in New York City. WOMEN CARRY IT Even to the Philippine Islands—Damphool American Color-Line. New York City.—The female of the species is more deadly than the male according to James L. Henry (white), in a letter to the New York Nation from Manila, Philippines. According to Mr. Henry, white men got along with the Filipinos very well, despite the natural irritations existing during times, until a large number of white men visited the islands. The American white woman, Henry said, at once drew a color-line socially. This is the reason for the Filipino complaint of white race domination and the general desire for complete separation from the U. S. Henry says the Filipinos know the social situation is an insult to every cultured Filipino. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A BOOTLICKING "POLITICIAN" WON'T DO, SAYS ONE OF THE ABLEST BISHOPS OF THE GREAT A.

C. — "Because," he said, "Hishop Hurst could speak with an understanding of the Haitian situation white men could not learn," Norman Thomas (white of N. Y. City, the most versatile piece of American organized labor piece of the Forum in the Lycée Theatre, Dec. 29, "23, suggested that the prelate be included on the commission to investigate conditions there. Mr. Thomas, who was Socialist candidate in the last presidential election, declared that, because of their race prejudice, Americans are the least qualified of races to deal with Haiti. Liberty Fading. "Liberty is growing less in this country," the speaker declared, and added that "no one can deny that our courts have one law for whites and one law for blacks and that even religious leaders lack courage to speak out boldly against the growing evils of inequality". The name of Bishop Hurst is also suggested for membership on the Commission to Haiti by the N. Y. Nation in its current issue. The bishop, who is head of the A. M. E. Church diocese of South Carolina, spent Christmas with his family at his residence in this city. He was born in Haiti, 66 years ago, attended the public schools there and finished his education at Worcester, O. University. He then went to superintendent of A. M. E. missions; came to Washington as secretary of the Haitian legation under the Hon. Hannibal Price, and served as such from 1889 to 1913; pastored Waters and Bethel A. M. E. churches in Baltimore; was financial secretary of the denomination from 1908 to 1912, and was consecrated bishop in 1912. Should Be Represented. "It is a good idea to have an Afro-American member on the Haitian Commission", Bishop Hurst said, "but he should not be appointed merely because he is such, but because he, is qualified for the work. He should not be a politician who is organizing his friends to gain the "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE!" Cleveland, O., Dec. 23, 1929. Mr. Robert S. Abbott, Editor, Defender, Chicago, IL Dear Sir:—In the Cleveland, Ohio, letter under date, December 20, 29, published in the Defender, a list of the "distinguished guests who spoke at the celebration in honor of the recent re-election of Clayborne George of the Fourth District to the Cleveland City Council", was given which did not include the name of Councilman George's "distinguished guest of honor" that evening, the ten Smith, and the campaigner whom the local Republican leader, National Committee Maurice Maschke, publically characterized during the campaign as "the best campaigner in Cleveland and Cayahoga county for thirty years". Mr. Smith, and his paper, "The Old Reliable"—Cleveland Gazette, Councilman George freely and frankly acknowledges as a tower of help in his recent strenuous campaign to be re-elected to the City Council for four years by the newspaper and campaigner queees was unquestionably the outstanding leader of the campaign in the Third District also which resulted in the election of our two Councilmen (Bundy and Payne) as well as Herman F. Hinkley (white). Republican floor-leader of the Council. This I am frank to state notwithstanding the fact that the writer was himself a speaker each evening of the campaign for the period of two weeks. Mr Smith made more speeches and had greater success than any other Hon. Maurice Maschke, National Republican Committeeman, and other local Republican leaders, readily affirm. The failure to include his name in the list of "distinguished guests who spoke" at the George celebration was undoubtedly an oversight Liberty Fading. 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

He should be strong, virile, inflexible, courageous, and able—a man like Dr. Alain Locke and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson of Washington, D. C." Bishop Hurst declared himself friendly with President Luis Borno of Haiti, and Hannibal Price, 2d, whom the President of Haiti called in to PETER H. take over the administration during the recent disorder, is the son of the bishop's patron by that name who brought him to Washington as legation secretary 40 years ago. President Borno, the bishop admitted, is not positive and is too easily led away. Asked if he were too busy to accept membership upon the commission if proffered the place, the bishop said: "Not too busy, but too old, maybe". At the same time he admitted that commissioners who do not understand the native language, would be at a disadvantage in Haiti—Baltimore Afro-American. Respectfully. (Dr.) E. A.

May add that during our recent visit to Cleveland, Mrs. Fleming and other great politicians paid many compliments to Mr. Smith for his herculean efforts in behalf of the Republican ticket. BEAUTIFUL WATCH, DESK LAMP, GIFTS. The 17th Ward Republican Club Honors Its President, Connec- man Leroy N. Bundy— Many Speakers, Ete. Monday night, after the City Council meeting, in its club rooms in Hotel Majestic, the 17th Ward Republican club gave one of its very enjoyable parties that was exceptionally successful, with the assistance of its 18th ward co-workers in the political field. Councilmen Bundy, president of the club, Clayborne George O'Dayne were the honour guests. The club was filled with a mixed audience that was most generous, indeed, in its aplause of the speakers; Atty. Wm. R. Green, the editor of The Gazette, Chairman of the County Republican Committee Gus Hirstius, Senator Geo. H. Bender, Messrs. Skinkle, Vinocur, ward leaders, the three councilmen and others. Mr. Bundy was presented with a valuable wrist bag. Mr. Bundy was presented with Messrs. Vinocur and Myerson making very pleasing presentation speeches. -Dr. O. A. Childress, Bundy's efficient manager during the recent campaign, proved a splendid presiding officer. Lunch was served. At the conclusion of the party, Councilman and Mrs. Bundy served a deed-mid-niece Turkey-supper to Mr. and Mrs. Hirstius, Mrs. and Mrs. Louis Vinocur, Messrs. Zalil and Bender and the editor of The zottie in their apartments in the hotel. This, too, proved an exceptionally enjoyable affair. Killed the Whole Family.

The editor of The Gazette cer- tainly appreciates the very kind things said of him by Dr. Edward A. Bailey of this city and Editor Wen- dell Phillips Dabney of the Cincin- nati Union, to be found elsewhere in this paper. i A very pretty post-card to the edi- tor from Hot Springs, Ark., dated Jan, 5, °80, announced the arrival there of Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Washington, D. C., former resident of this city, who has been ill for many months. He announced im- provement In health. —ai1i—— It President Herbert Hoover de- cides not to appoint Congressman Osear DePriest a member of the Haitian commission, we hope he will appoint Bishop Hurst, a native of Haiti but an American citizen, be- cause He Is one of the ablest men of our race in this country. He will, too, be one of the ablest_ members of the commission, if appointed. * Tho Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our member of the Cleveland school board, voted for the re-election of President EB. M. Williams, she was not given the appointment to the board’s Important education commit- tee, as announced several weeks azo. This fs to be regretted, especially since she preferred that assignment to others. Possibly this resulted from the fact that she was the new member of the board. A year’s sery- ice may net her the desired com- mittee membership, Our three members of the Cleve- land City Council, Attys. Clayborne George and 1. O. Payne, and Dr. Leroy N. Bundy have started on their work for those of the race in this community in a most satisfac- tory manner and The Gazette takes pleasure in commending them in the strongest possible manner, at this time. Keep it up, gentlemen! How- ever, be sure to strengthen your hold on your constituents, especially those of color, by voting to oust Color- Line City Hospital Wm. R. Hopkins, city manager, on Monday night at the Council meeting, and by voting to make Atty. John A. Cline his suc- cessor. Our people can depend upon fair, frieudly and honest treatment from Mr. Cline, something we have not had by a good deal from City Manager Hopkins. ‘The Gazette will youch for Mr. Cline. ae ntib=—= THE NEXT CITY MANAGER. While Cleveland's three daily newspapers. controlled by the weal- thy and other business men, most of whom live out of the city, are “sweating great drops of blood” over the impending ousting of City Man- ager Wm. R. Hopkins, the great mass of citizens of Cleveland are preparing to celebrate that auspic fous event. The City Manager, the executive head of Cleveland, is the man to hold responsible for all of the alleged fraudulent land-deals and the many other acts that have beer 80 severely criticised by nearly everybody, during the past year. ‘There can be no question as to this! Even if the daily newspapers, dom- inated by wealthy residents and non- residents of this city, do continue to withhold this and many other inter- esting facts that the residents of this community have a right to know and to learn of in their columns, City Manager Hopkins will go. This neglect upon the part of the daily newspapers Amounts almost to a criminal act. However, there are those, active in the leadership of matters political in this city, who are familiar with the facts and, therefore, determined there shall be the change in the executive head of Cleveland which thousands of good citizens are confidently looking for- ward to and which is now scheduled to take place on Monday next at a regular meeting of Cleveland's new City Council. ‘There is also much concern as to the successor to City Manager Hop- kins. The four leading candidates for the place being John A. Cline, a long-time resident of the city, one of its leading attorneys; Earle E. Martin, former editor of the Cleve- land (daily) Press; and State Sena- tors D. E. Morgan and G. H. Bender. Having personal and more or less intimate knowledge, extending over a number of years, of each of these gentlemen, we unhesitatingly urge upon our twenty-five City Council- men the selection 6f Atty. John A. Cline, all things considered, far and away the best qualified for the place, fn point of long residence in. this elty, ability which includes an ex- ceptional knowledge of the law, splendid character and standing. The prompt ousting of City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, on Monday night, and the immediate election of Mr. Cline as his successor, will give keen satisfaction to the masses of the cit- izens of this community rather than to the wealthy class who have dom- inated Cleveland thru City Manager Hopkins for nearly six years, regard- less of the fact that many, if not most of them, were not even rest- dents and therefore taxpayers of Cleveland. On with the fight to emaneipat« Cleveland's government from the classes and replace it in the hands of the masses with a view to return. ing at the earliest date possible tc the mayorality plan of city govern ment, with a Councilman from eact ward. LEFT HER $20,000! Aged White Drayman Left His En- tire Estate to His Wife's Sister —White Relatives Try to “Break the Will. St. Louis, Mo.—Relatives of Henry Allivator (white), 73-year-old dray- man, who died, recently, are seeking to break his will which bequeathed his $20,000 estate to his Afro-Amer. ican housekeeper and_ sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie Wisely. The plaintiff are Mrs. Mary Hellstern and Conrad Altivater, sister and brother of the dead man, who alleged his will was made when he was mentally incom. petent and unduly under the in- fluence of said sister-in-law. The in- strument was signed, Nov. 17, 1928, five weeks before he died.” Mrs Wisely, a stout woman past. middle age, was found at 908 S. 10th St. ‘Altivater's home. She said the dead man had married her sister, years ago, in Illinois. “They never had any children”, she said. "So when my sister, Jane, died about fifteen years ago, | came here to take care of Henry. I helped him with his business affairs and kept house for him. He never paid me accent. It was understood if he died before 1 did, I was to receive his estate. That was my sister's last wish and Henry agreed with her”. URGES ACTION IN HAITI! Senator Borah Advocates Civilian a: Giaek Commininer. Washington, D. C.—Chairman Bo- rah of the U.S. Senate foreign rela- tions committee, Wednesday advo: cated immediate action in Haiti by President Hoover as the committee began consideration of the _presi- dent’s request for a commission of investigation. Appointment of civilian as high commissioner for Haiti and authority for a “free and untrammeled election” were pro- posed by Senator Borah, ina state- ment issued after the committee fail- ed to reach a decision on the House resolution authorizing an investigat- ing commission. Borah severely con- demued military rule of the Haiti ans. He predicted an early report by the committee. ANOTHER BANK PAILURE! Forgery Charged to Its Officers— Same Old Story. Raleigh, N.-C_—Two officials, J. D, Reid, ‘vice-president, and H. 5. Stanback, cashier, of ‘our defunct Commercial Bank’ of Wilson, N.C. have been indicted by the grand jury in the superior sourt. Six charxes, two alleging forgery, two for mak- ing false entries and two for receiy- ing deposits, knowing the bank was insolvent, are charged in tho bill of indictment. When the grand jury made its report, neither of the de- fendants who were out on bonds of $5,000 each, were in court. Instanter caplases were issued and. Stanback was rearrested and in default of $10,000 bond he was committed to jail. Reid surrendered and ater, on motion of the counsel, the bonds for both defendants were’ reduced te $7,500 each, which they gave for their appearance at the February term of the Wilson criminal court before Judge W.

Hurley, a deceased sister's child, survives her. On her 100th birthday, last March, a number from Akron came up to fete her. She had looked forward to celebrating her 101st birthday. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, last week, of an invitation from Chapter 9 of our National Association of Waiters and Hotel Employees to attend, Jan. 5, the formal opening of its cosy club rooms at 8914 Cedar Ave. The speakers were: Rev.

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limit of what a law exposes it and, if possible, smiles at You. And I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 190 years of unilateral discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

Indeed, minus a velvet costume, no wardrobe can qualify this season, as being all there. About the greatest difficulty encountered in selecting the velvet frock is to decide as to whether it shall be black or in some one of the delectable dahlia or eggplant shades, or forest greens, or a radiant brown or some other of fashions glamorous hues. For the frock in the picture the designer settles the question by deciding upon a lovely violet-toned transparent velvet. Nowadays, the first thing one looks to in connection with a gown under scrutiny is its hemline, for it seems that a dress is known by its hemline this season. What a tantalizing telltale way hemlines have of establishing the identity of a gown, as to whether it be of this season's vintage or not. The hemline in the picture, while it is thoroughly smart and correct, succeeds in making a very happy compromise with those exaggerated types which are being so reluctantly accepted by the majority of women. The widened hemline which reaches below the knees in front, gracefully sloping in a downward course to the back, as here pictured, is meeting with FABRIC IN SEMBLAND GIRLS' COATS O HAD you thought about flecked tweed for little daughter's midwinter coat? It's really a suggestion well worth following up, for they are ever so good looking, these colorful coatings which are flecked usually with white or with cream or a darker tone. The beauty of these sturdy tweeds which have quite captured the heart of school faring youth, is their hand-some colorings which include in addition to the usual browns and tans a range of pastel greens, blues, capucine and soft violet tones. The coat in the picture is a serviceable little model of tan tweed flecked Don't T But Give it general approval. it adds a feminine touch for the hemline to be scalloped especially where the material is velvet, as it is in this instance. However, for the more tailored cloth versions, the scallops are likely to be omitted, following otherwise just such a slope as is defined by the hemline in the picture. The shirred girdle fitted smugly to the hips, such as distinguishes this gown, is also a featured detail in the newer modes. The interest which holds for this dress is the fact that while achieving unmistakable chic it at the same time maintains that fine conservatism which appeals to discriminating taste. The exquisite lace collar-and-cuff set worn with this dress also bespeaks that ladylikeness which is sought for in the new fashions. Note the word "exquisite" used in referring to the very lovely lace which enhances this gown. The prefix has been employed advisedly, for one of the conditions impressed on fashion's followers is that lace to be smart must be of the very finest and refined types, no recognition being given to inferior grades. Real laces are consequently being brought out from their lavender-scented wrappings to re-enact their former triumphs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1928, Western Newspapers, Union.) ANCE OF FUR TRIMS OF FLECKED TWEED with brown. It is collared and cuffed with a pile fabric in semblance of fur. There is quite a little fabric fur being used this season, a favorite type simulates krimmer while still another looks the part of handsome beaver. The krimmer pile-fabric is especially effective on pastel tweeds. Matching muffs and hats of the simulated fur add an attractive note to these outdoor outfits. Sometimes entire coats are made of the pile fabrics which look like fur. In unfurred coats, cape effects are contesting the supremacy of scarfed models. On tiny-tot coats made of broadcloth or suede sometimes the triple-layer capes are used. Some of the tweed coats with capes also add fur collars thus insuring warmth and comfort. The vogue for fared hemilines extends to coats for girls. The fullness is achieved, in various ways, either through circular cut or princess lines, or through the introduction of godets employed in like manner as in adult styles. Plaided blanket coats with self fringe are practical, colorful and moderately priced. For school wear and hard outdoor usage they are ideal, look charming, too, in their mixture of gay yellows, greens and reds. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

VACUUM GEAR SHIFTING DEVICE PERFECTED A woman in a suit sits on a chair, steering a vehicle. J. H. Newmark, New York automotive engineer, announces that after a period of seven years of research and experiments, a vacuum gear shifting device has been perfected which does away with the gear shifting lever commonly used on automobiles and enables the driver to do the shifting on the wheel by fingertip control. The vacuum gear shift, it is explained, requires a minimum of equipment and makes use of a natural element to shift the gears—the engine intake, used to create a vacuum. It requires only to remove the cover plate of the present transmission box and to apply a special one, in order to place the new gear shifting device on cars in use. This is done by attaching vacuum tubes leading to two small vacuum cylinders mounted on a cross member at the rear of the transmission case. A simple line also runs to the motor intake pipe. A pretty young model demonstrates the case with which the gears may be shifted. CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IS DANGEROUS CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IS DANGEROUS Practice of Starting Engines in Closed Garages Deadly Error. With the season of cold weather comes the increased danger to motorists from deadly carbon monoxide gas, warns the Chicago Motor club. The practice of starting engines in garages before opening garage doors results in many fatalities each year, according to reports received by the motorists' organization. Motorists should pay strict attention to ventilation in the garage, and, above all, should not "warm up" the car unless ample avenues of escape are available for exhaust gases. A cross-draft through the garage is most desirable. Has Numbing Effect. "Carbon monoxide gas has a numbing effect on the senses and many instances are recorded where motorists have died before they could span the short distance from the driver's seat to the fresh air," says a bulletin issued by the club. "One of the best practices is to open the garage doors before starting the motor. Another is to connect the exhaust pipe with a pipe leading through the door, so that fumes will be carried out of the building. This can be done by means of rubber tubing and an extension on the exhaust. Few Inhalations Fatal. "Owners who do their own mechanical work should be particularly careful that they do not leave the motor running without providing adequate ventilation. Only a few inhalations of carbon monoxide gas are required to cause fatal results. "These suggestions are offered in the hope of reducing deaths attributable to the motor car. Very little cooperation is needed to prevent unnecessary monoxide fatalities, but the public must first be aware of the peril from those deadly fumes." Shortage of Motor Car Fuel Supply Not Feared For the next 50,000 years, at any rate, American Motorists may feel assured of an ample fuel supply for cars, boats, airplanes and whatnots. Nor will it be necessary to carry a tank full of TNT or nitroglucer in the car to get us there and bring us back. Thus one great national worry was laid at rest, when Thomas A. Boyd, fuel technologist, recently talked to the Canadian section of the Society of Automotive Engineers meeting at Toronto. Mr. Boyd cited the known quantity of petroleum, crude petroleum, petroleum sands and shale deposits and described three ways of converting coal into liquid fuel. These are pyrolysis, or coking at high and low temperatures; hydrogenation and gasification. The speaker dealt at some length with the Burgess hydrogenation process. Speaking of the relative amount of power contained in gasoline, Mr. Boyd stated that this hydrocarbon contains 19,000 British thermal units; TNT has 6,500; nitroglycerin, 3,200; dynamite, 2,500; and black powder, 1,200. Eliminates Crossings The bridge division of the New Mexico highway department is working overtime on plans and specifications for grade crossing elimination which will greatly increase the safety of the highways. Last year four grade separations were built at the crossing, which has been the scene of automobile tragedies. Three more eliminations are now in the plan stage, to be commenced and pushed through this year. The Motor Quiz How Many Can You Answer? Q. Should a driver attempt to turn out of a run at high speed? Ans. No. This may cause a tire to blow, resulting in a skid or even overturning of the car. Q. How many grade crossings were eliminated from the federal aid highway system of United States in 1928? Ans. Three hundred ninety. Wisconsin led with 35; Alabama, second, 31; Michigan, third, 26; Texas, fourth, 25; Indiana, fifth, 24; Kansas, sixth, 23; Montana, seventh, 22; Georgia and Illinois, 21 each, and Mississippi, 17. Q. During what year did Canada produce its largest number of automotive units? How many units were produced and what was their approximate value? Ans. During 1928 Canada produced 242,054 automobile units valued at more than $162,867.000. Q. How many different kinds of trouble can be attributed to missing spark plugs? Ans. There are (1) sluggish engine; (2) slow pick-up; (3) loss of power; (4) hard starting; (5) engine loses power on hard pulls and cuts out at high speeds; (6) incomplete combustion, gas gets into crankcase, dilutes the oil and causes formation of carbon, excessive wear on pistons, cylinder walls and bearings. Cowcatcher on Car Adds A scene during the test of a safety device on automobiles showing a man being picked up by the device in front of the car. A car traveling at 25 Safety Device on Auto. miles an hour will not hurt a pedestrian, but will deposit him on the "cowcatcher" of the auto. AUTOMOBILE FACTS An automobile tire wears better in cold weather than in hot. Spare fuses and light bulbs, which occupy so little space in the car, often times are of great importance. There are various ways of getting a bee out of a sedan. For instance, you can break the car open against a telephone pole. Improperly adjusted valves will cause the engine to run unevenly and will also give less power and mileage. Adjust valves to proper timing. In an effort to cope with the increase in automobile fatalities, the Southeastern chapter of the American Red Cross plans to establish a circle of first aid stations around Philadelphia, Pa. DePRIEST'S SPEECH DePRIEST'S SPEECH Washington, D. C. — Supporting the original resolution providing for a commission to study and review U. S. policies in Haiti, Representatives Oscar DePriest of Chicago made his maiden speech on the floor of the House, Dec. 18, '29.

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: BBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in levy. must member of mob. must another county. MOBS. Section 6289.

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, to all citizens reasons applicable alike for color, the full enjoyment of three 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, but use it as often as they should, but use 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, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Written order 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. 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, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-American, is all wrong. The sooner we fall these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.
