For Not Only His Liberty But Really for His Life — Trying to Help Our Workers Get a Living Norfolk, Va.—Virginia, which as recently as 1926 passed a law prohibiting our people and whites from "sitting on the same floor as in the movies, etc.", and which lynched 75 Afro-Americans since 1899, put Stephen Graham, (white) on trial here. Monday, on the silly charge of "inciting the local Negro populace to rebellion". He has been out on $2500 bail, supplied by the I. L. D. Graham is being persecuted and faces ten years in prison for advising our and white workers, to unilize, under equal conditions, within here, Oct. 15, '29. There were about 150 Afro-American workers present, most of them from the Spring Mfg. Co. which is pressing the charge with the aid of the local Chamber of Commerce and city authorities. Graham has been living in the shadow of lynch-law ever since he went to Virginia to organize the Trade Union Unity League and the I. L. D. He changes his sleeping quarters every night to avoid lynch-gangs which have threatened his life. He went South to help better conditions in a state where according to a report of the labor commissioners, the labor is as high as forty percent in the pay of white and our workers, for the same jobs. The difference is best shown in the high death-rate of the infants as compared to white: 144 of our children, per thousand, die annually to 53 white children during the same period. Our workers do not get enough pay to even properly care for their children. Graham came to Norfolk where we number 43,000, or $37.1 per cent of the total population. There are 690,000 Afro-Americans in the state of 25,000 population. About 29.9 per cent. Before 1917, we made up 32.6 per cent of the population, but the great exodus of workers from the South, in 1917 and since that time, lowered the ratio. ried, Wednesday evening, at Mrs. Jaas.

BISHOP URGED "ABE" TO FREE THE SLAVES. Dr. C. T. Wilson Bares Journals of Methodist Prelate Who Advised Lincoln. Philadelphia, Pa.—Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, has revealed here what he termed the first story of how Lincoln reached his decision to issue the emancipation proclamation. His account is based on old letters and journals found in trunks of the late Bishop Matthias B. Matthias, a m. E. church. The trunks had been stored unopened here for a half a century and Dr. Wilson recently was given access to them. He says: "The story of how Lincoln reached his decision has been locked up all these years in Bishop Simpson's trunks. On the morning in question, Bishop Simpson, a close friend of the White House and the White House while the president was still at breakfast. He was cordially greeted and the two retired to Lincoln's study. It was there that Bishop Simpson suggested that Lincoln carry out the emancipation idea. "If the south wins, the slaves still remain in shackles. If the north wins, they will remain in shackles, and yet this war is being fought to prevent the extension of slavery to Bishop Simpson. "But, said Lincoln, "it would not be constitutional." "After a time, the bishop's old journal reveals, the president said: 'I will do this at the earliest moment when God gives us a victory. Let us pray.' "Bishop Simpson then tells how the two knelt in prayer and prayed round twice. "The emancipation proclamation was issued shortly afterwards." Bishop Simpson, for many years a member of Philadelphia, died here June 18, 1884, at his residence at 1334 Arch St. His trunks contain CAUSES OF RIOTS IN BLEEDING HAITI A Virginia Professor Makes Clear Claims—His Recommendations Washington, D. C.—In speaking on the subject, "The Next Step in Haifa", before the Howard University Forum, the evening of Jan. 8, Prof. Rayford Logan of Virginia Union University recalled incidents, between Oct. 31 and Dec. 8 of last strike, suggesting to the student strike, suggesting to the principal cause was the dissatisfaction of the natives with the administration of Dr. Freeman of Alabama, who is in charge of vocational training. Natives, according to Prof. Logan, had been assured that as they acquired training they would be promoted to responsible positions in connection with their education institutions. Instead, they were southern women when over by Dr. Freeman and placed in charge which meant an inability to increase the $15 scholarships that had been provided native students. Another cause of dissatisfaction with the American directors of education who are regarded as experts, is their inability to speak French, having to themselves intelligible through interpreters. Speaking of "experts" Prof. Logan told of one "coffee expert" who wanted to visit some of the coffee plantations. He asked his Haitian guide when they were going to get to them. The guide replied: "You have been walking through them all morning." The story was cited to show the ridicule which the Haitians have for the so-called "American cowboy." The crux of the political situation seems to grow out of the phraseology of the constitution which provides that elections shall be "in an even year." This has been interpreted to mean any even year, with no definiteness as to time, which makes it possible for continued postponement of election, meeting the proviso of the constitution, to be held in "an" even year. After reviewing the economic situation which he showed no great material prosperity as a result of American Occupation, Prof. Logan concluded his address with the following recommendations: 1. Replace the Brigadier General by a Civil Commission. Such officers are absolutely incapable of governing a civil population. 2. So amend the constitution as to change the date of election to the legislature to April 10, instead of Jan 10, and to hold the general election civil service until it is necessary to have Marine supervision as was had in Nicaragua. 3. Allow this Legislature to elect a president with the understanding that President Borno is ineligible to succeed himself. 4. If deemed advisable, appoint an Upper House of five members of the American commission, five members of President Borno's party and five Rebelians. 5. Give the Civil Commission the same power of veto as that exercised by the United States. 6. Drill Haitians in all phases of administration, especially the highest principles of finance. 7. Abolish present service technique and send Dr. Freeman back to America. Place both vocational and academic education under Haitian control. 8. A policy clearly defined policy be to give Haitians a fair chance to govern themselves with the understanding that if they make good, they will become independent in 1936. "We have six more years, and if we do not train the Haitians to govern themselves, either we will say that they are not yet ready for independence and continue the Occupation or the Americans will get out without or the Americans will get out to govern themselves and leave them at the point which will result in revolution which, in turn, will result in the annexation of Haiti". GOLDBERG'S FAMOUS COMIC STRIPS There are certain things which stand out so prominently in a newspaper that every reader looks at them with the pleasure you feel when you meet an old friend. It is that feeling which has achieved for Rube L. Goldberg the reputation of being one of America's leading cartoonists in fields where he has plowed his cartoons stand out because of their originality. Hitherto they have appeared only in leading daily newspapers, but now the readers of The Gazette are enjoying them. It is a matter of great congratulation that the work of this high-priced star is now thus available. DePriest Will Appoint Another. Washington. DePriest—Representative Oscar DePriest of Chicago, who appointed Caden Alonzo Bisman to West Point, said, Tuesday, that would appoint another Afro-American to the academy if Parham is finally dropped for alleged failure to pass his mid-term examinations. intimate correspondence he had with Secretary of War Stanton, Gen. U. S. Grant and other government leaders during the Civil War. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GREAT "CITY HOSPITAL" VICTORY THE WALZ RESOLUTION ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE CITY COUNCIL, MONDAY NIGHT! Hopkins and Blossom, the Color-Line Twins, Forced to Sign It at Last by Dr. Walz and Our Three Councilmen, George, Bundy and Payne Are We Happy? Well, Maybe! As anticipated, Wm. R. Hopkins was summarily ousted as city manager, Monday night, on motion of Councilman Walz. The City Council twice voted, 14 to 11, to suspend him immediately and to make the Hillings demanded that charges be filed against him and that he be given an opportunity to answer them. The Council accordingly authorized Mayor John D. Marshall to appoint a special committee to draw up the charges. The mayor thereupon appointed Dr. F. W. Walz, Dr. Lloyd N. Bundy, Dr. Lloyd A. N. Bundy, Milford Bronstrup and Wm. J. Lodrick. This committee met, Tuesday afternoon, and drew up the charges. The Council met at 10:30 a. m., Thursday, and approved them and will meet again, before Jan. 22 to give Hopkins his hearing. In the meantime Law Director Harold H. Burton is acting city manager. The election of the Senator Daniel E. Morgan manager demanded for him 27 Council meeting. The ouster was accomplished by the votes of twelve Republicans, and two Democrats—James J. McClinty and Dr. F. W. Walz. The vote was: For the Ouster—Bohn, Bronstrup, Bundy, De Maioribus, Finkle, George, Jones, Lavelle, Lodrick, McGinty, Michell, Payne, Szczuka, Walz. Against the Ouster—Furth, Kennedy, Krueck, Marshall, Mileilch, Petrash, Rebhan, Rieder, Robechek, Sulzmann, Trinastic, all Democrats except Mayor Marshall and Emi Robechek both of whom will wish they, too, were Democrats, two years later. Most of the members when voting to oust Mgr. Hopkins explained their vote. Our readers are most interested in what our three councilmen had to say: # "Entering upon my second term as a member of the Council, I have had abundant opportunity not only to learn the desire of the great majority of my constituents as regards the city Manager, but also of the city Manager, but I do have such contact with him, especially in the City Hospital discrimination matter, as to thoroly convince me that I am doing only my plain duty to my constituents, and especially to my own people, when I cast my vote in favor of the termination of the mayor of Cleveland, and the city of Cleveland. Also, I believe such action is to the best interests of all concerned". 1 "I would not be doing justice to my constituents unless I replied to the statement that the motion (to oust) is the result of a scheme in a dark room. It was a beautiful appeal by the city manager, but I hear the voices of the thousands that are affected by this action.

Well, Maybe! uents have always opposed this form of government, and I ran on an anti-Hopkins platform. I think of some of those under civil service who, having sided with those in favor of the charter amendment, lost their jobs a few days after election. The mandate of the people was expressed in November, when the proposals of civic improvement were voted down. That was the will of the people—that the proposal was rejected. The people have the right to say who shall govern. Since the people elected us, we have the right to say for them who shall be the city manager". Atty. Lawrence O. Payne. "Yes. I take this stand because of the poor citizens in my district who lost their jobs when they acted as they saw fit in voting. I am voting not the way I feel but the way I believe the section I represent feels. On three occasions this section voted against the manager plan. My vote tonight is in response to the voice of the people. A divided Council would indicate that something is wrong". The scene in Council chamber, Monday night, was a memorable one. Crowded to the doors, both gallery and floor, with frequent loud boores and cheers, during the long drawn out and heated debate, the feelings of those for and against the City Manager were roused to an intense heat and were only held partially in the immediate direction of Safety Director Barry, Chief Graul and Chief Inspector Matowitz. It was midnight when the hectic proceedings came to a close. No "Jim Crow" Hospital. City Hospital will be opened to our nurses and internes for training on an equal basis with all other residents of the city. City Council decreed, Monday night, just before it turned to the business of removing Hopkins as city manager. The Council cast a unanimous oral vote on Councilman F. W. Walz's resolution to "give all citizens the right to receive training as a city manager" in accord with the provisions of the U. S. constitution and the law of the state of Ohio" which has especial reference to Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law! City Manager Hopkins, in his last official act, approved the resolution and sent it before the Council. It was also approved by Welfare Director Dudley Sosmom, and The Gazette's more than three years' fight was won, at last. "I found that it was feasible," was the only comment Blossom would make. Sure! but we had to make him find that "it was feasible." Hopkins said he signed the measure because Blossom had applied for the resolution, found after studying the resolution, and requested only the granting of a legal right. The fact is that our three Councillors and Dr. F. W. Walz made him "see the light," and not Blossom's forced and belated approval. Once the resolution came before the Council in the heat of the momentous session, Dr. Walz declared: "There is a crying necessity for a thing of this kind. Half of the people in the tuberculosis hospital are colored and would get more suitable care if colored nurses were permitted to take care of them. Everybody who knows anything colored nurses are A-1. You can look to the old south for an example of this." Councilman John M. Sulzmann concurred in Dr. Walz's statements. The resolution was then passed on roll call without a dissenting vote. It became an acute problem for the Council when our three councilmen refused to vote for a bond issue to establish an East Side municipal hospital unless our people were given (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930. Our three councilmen are sure "goin' some". Wait until it is possible to tell of the wonderful work they did, last week, and the first of this. They are working together beautifully and it pleases all greatly. So far George, Bundy and Payne have been all, and more than their most sanguine friends ever expected. Fine! The future is bright. --- The demand for the removal of Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, a member of that city's civil service commission, by the great A. M. E. Church because of the charges of grafting, pending against him at this time, is premature. The bishop is innocent until proven guilty, and until the charges are proven true it is manifestly unfair for our contemporaries to demand that he be relieved of the title of bishop. --- The Hubert estate nets Howard University, Washington, D. C., $200,-000 and Provident Hospital, Chicago, $500,000, Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist, of Chicago; Ex-Gov. Alfred Smith of N. Y. City, and Ex-President Calvin Coolidge were the trustees to divide the Hubert millions. Mr. Rosenwald is generally credited with looking after Howard University and Provident Hospital, our only institutions to get a slice of the estate. --- Just as soon as the hospital fight is over, and right, George A. Myers, who fought a wonderful fight that the victory might be won, folds his tent and hies himself off to Hot Springs, Ark., for a much-needed rest and recuperation. The editor certainly wished he could have gone with him. But maybe the editor does not need a rest so much as action, real hot ACTION! And he has another birthday on the 28th of this month. Guess we are young yet. Eh? SAME OLD SOUTH Here is "the new South" we heard so much about for several recent years: In Atlanta, two weeks ago, the county sheriff notified our people that they would not be allowed to celebrate the sixty-seventh anniversary of emancipation because "a committee of white 'men' had advised him that it would be best not to hold the celebration". Editor Ben Davis of the Atlanta Independent was to have been "the orator of the day". About the same time Ku Kluxes were parading the streets of Atlanta in a vain effort to bluff delegates to our national convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha college fraternity. Somebody ought to tell that sheriff and those Kluxes that the war of the rebellion has been over for more than half a century. City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom on Monday affixed their signatures approving a resolution to provide equal opportunities for all races in medical training at City Hospital. The measure went before the city council and was favorably passed upon, Monday night. It was introduced by our good friend, Councilman F. W. Walz, who like Blossom had recently made a study of the hospital situation in Cleveland and other cities. Thus ends The Gazette's more than three-year fight to open that public institution to our girls, wishing to study to become trained nurses, and to our internes (young doctors) who wish to train at City Hospital. Throut the long battle our strongest supporter was George A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden hotel barber shop. And there are many others who helped materially to win the great victory. among them being our three Councilmen, Messrs. George, Bundy and Payne, and Rev. Horace C. Bailey. This, too, in the very face of an inexusable almost solid front opposition from our doctors of the city who were misled by Dr. E. J. Gregg, ex-councilman, and one or two others. We are just so happy over the most encouraging result and so thankful to ALL who stood with us, "in season and out", in the long drawn out contest, that we urge all, including all of our doctors, and all others, of course, to "close ranks" in the now popular and well defined effort to promote the vital interests of the race, especially those resident in this community. This for "the good and welfare" of all of us. Let us forgive and forget and GET TO-GETHER more closely than ever before in the history of Cleveland. To our friend, Councilman Walz, and all others of the other race who have helped, we have only the warmest thanks for them from all of our progressive residents of the "Fifth City". DE PRIEST-ABBOTT Congressman Oscar DePriest is serving well his first term. Therefore, according to all the rules of politics, he is entitled to a second term, at least. Whenever our enemies want to rob us of such representation they get some other member of the race to oppose our successful one, just as they are trying to get Editor R. S. Abbott to do to DePriest in Chicago. They do this because they know that neither one (as a rule) will be successful, and OSCAR DE PRIEST thus they get rid of "the Negro representative" and win another for themselves. This thing was tried in two instances here in Cleveland, last fall, and only herculean efforts upon the part of our campaigners exposed the miserable effort and saved two of our local councilmen. All this, Brother Abbott knows, we feel sure, and is too loyal and wise to permit the Chicago Tribune, for years one of the worst enemies of the race in this country, to entice him into the race against Oscar DePriest. Our Congressman has done well, Brother Abbott, and as we have already said deserves a second term, at least. Get in behind him and let us all, even those of us who are at a distance, pull hard for Oscar DePriest's re-election. One term in any legislative body is not long enough for any man or woman to "show" to his or her fullest capacity. It takes at least one term for a person to "learn the ropes", and we speak as a matter of six years' (three terms) experience in Ohio State Assemblies. We do not believe that the Chicago Tribune or any other thing, or person, or persons could possibly induce Editor Abbott or any other sane member of the race to oppose Congressman Oscar DePriest's re-election at this time. PARHAM "FLAGGED"! The Old Racial Prejudice Against the "Negro" and the Jew Rampant in Both the U. S. Army and Navy. West Point, N. Y.—Sixty-four cadets, including Alonzo Parham of Chicago, were honorably discharged from the U. S. Military academy, Wednesday, because they pass mid-term academic examinations. Maj. Gen. Wm. R. Smith, sup.t, has announced. Parham failed in only one subject—mathematics—and therefore will be eligible to take an examination in March for re-entry to the academy. Cadet Parham was appointed to the academy by Congressman D.Priest of Chicago. Forty-six of the cadets who failed to pass this time, all third and fourth classmates, were deficient in only one subject, and which required the privilege of re-examination in March, which if passed will permit them to be readmitted. Our people particularly, throut the country, should not pay any attention to the alleged "Parham" statement, published in the daily papers of the country on Wednesday and Thursday of the past week. Cadets are not allowed to issue such statements or to be quoted in the newspaper. The U. S. West Point Military Academy itself. Do not be misled!

Y.—This great little University of Michigan outdoor sprint champion and member of the race, is among those invited to take COLUMBIA part in the 100-yard classic of the Olympic sprint series at the Brooklyn College meet in the 13th Reg. Armory, New York City, today, Jan. 18. White track stars scheduled to appear against Tolan are Karl Wildermuth, Jim Daley, Bob McAllister and others. Johnson, Lehart, "Chocolate" and Ridgeway New York City. — Fred Lenhart (white) of Spokane, Wash., and Larry Johnson, light heavyweight of Chicago, were matched, Jan. 13, to fight the ten-round semi-final to the Carrera-Peterson heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden, Jan. 24. The Garden also matched Kid Chocolate, the great Afro-Cuban featherweight, for a ten-round contest with Earl Ridgway (white) of Jersey City as the main go, Feb. 21. Big George Will Take Care of Him. New York City. — The name of George Godfrey is among those suggested as a logical opponent for Prime Carrera, the Italian giant, who won on American shores, recently. Commissioned Wm. Johnson is the man who made the suggestion, and he backed it up by saying: "Godfrey should be Carnera's first opponent. Big men must be fed this huge fellow. But size isn't everything in the boxing profession, and most of the Italian's height is probably a handicap. Jess Willard's size was a handicap, and don't let anyone tell you different. It would be ridiculous to have Griffiths, Von Paint or the Risko hit this way." Jess摩恩 sahm permission to match Carnera with Carl Carter, veteran Afro-American giant gilpilat, at the New York Coliseum, Jan. 15, but the boxing commission refused to sanction the permit because of Carl's reputation for laziness. Carter is a darn good fighter—when he decides to extend himself, which is of the trade, can box, hit and circle, very seldom. He knows all the tricks if necessary, but he will never really give the best that is in him because he is "Stoppa Potent" type. "Negro." Carnera weighs 257 pounds and stands six feet eight in his bare feet; wears a twenty-one collar and size eighten shoes. Godfrey was among those to greet him when he landed. WHITE GETS SCHOLARSHIP. Will Go to Paris, France, and Work on "Haitian Opera" for Two Women New York City.—Clarence Cameron on White, violinist-composer, has been awarded a Julius Rosenwald scholarship, and will go to France to spend two years at work there on a "Negro" opera. Prof. White, who is at present musical director at the State College at Institute, W. Va. is, of course, a violinist in this country and was given the Harmon Award of $400 and a gold medal for excellence in his work. The subject of Prof. White's opera is Dessalines, second president of Haliit. It is entitled "Cocacouac", and is the work of Prof. John F. Matheus, well known short story writer, and professor of French and Romance literature at the College. Prof. White and Prof. Matheus went to Haliit to get first-hand information. GREAT "CITY HOSPITAL" VICTORY. (Continued from Page 1) 1930 Dr. F. W. Walz. an opportunity for training in City Hospital in common with all others. At the time Dr Walz's resolution was introduced Manager Hopkins said that maintaining the staff of doctors and nurses at City Hospital had been in the hands of Western Reserve University School of Medicine for more than fifteen years and that because of the unusually high standard resulting from this arrangement the city would not interfere. But he changed his mind finally, didn't he? Some other city officials are going to change their minds, too, next summer, when it comes time to use the city bathing pools, and all other PUBLIC facilities. If you do not think so, ask our councilmen; George Cleveland, Bundy and Payne, McAuliffe Americans are done being made parisons of whenever some pin-headed Ku Klux prejudiced city official feels like drawing a color-line. So very many of our people have "phoned and called "The Old Reliable", since Monday, asking: How do you feel, now" (since the opening of the City Hospital to our boys and girls, and this includes of course, Rev. Dr. Horace C. Balley's grand-daughter, Miss Patrick, whom Hopkins and Blossom refused, last month, to enter the Nurses' Training School at City Hospital that here and now "The Old Reliable" answers, to the question—feeling fine and dandy, thank you; ready to have a real celebration on my birthday, Jan. 28, 1930. H. C. S. MERITED PRAISE Of Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney's Splendid Work, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens"—Out of the Ordinary. "Home, Sweet Home" means something to Wendell P. Dabney, veteran editor of the Cincinnati Union (412 McAllister St., Cincinnati, O.) and public-spirited citizen for many years, of Cincinnati, chief metropolis of southern Ohio, Mr. Dabney has taken the time, the care, and the effort necessary to produce a volume gathering forth the history of the achievement of the Cincinnati Colored Citizens", because, says Mr. Dabney, "such information, I felt, would go far to eradicate much of the prejudice against us, that owes its origin to the ignorance or superficial knowledge of our white citizens". Further on, in his preface, the author says: "I have strayed far from the cold, formal, stereotyped vocabulary in an effort to make the people we well body of a people who are so little known, so little understood and for so many years so much oppressed because of such misunderstanding". Thereafter follows more than four hundred pages of absorbing facts, opinions, and descriptions, historical and otherwise, of the development of the Colored wing of Cincinnati from "prehistoric-times" to date. The advancement of the Cincinnati Negro, as described by Dabbs, is an amazing and only upon coming to face with proofs of the race's growth, not only in Cincinnati, but everywhere, that we can fully appreciate the silver lining of the cloud which has hovered over us for so long. From slavery to complete and composite representation in every activity of a great American city is the answer Cincinnati has made to the challenge of the "supremists". So has New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta and every other urban center. Given a full chance, the Negro has made full advance; given half a chance, he has made half a chance; given no chance, he has made half advances. This is the answer to the serfdom of the South, and it will prove itself decade after decade, generation after generation. Wendell Phillips Dabney, has done his city, his state, his people, the nation and himself a signal honor by publishing his worthy volume, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens", which may be profitably read, not only by Ohioans, but by the world.—Pittsburgh Courier. The discoverer of "Americanese" —Ring W. Lardner—is the inspirer of the widely popular comic strip "You Know Me, Al", which is now appearing regularly in The Gazette This is a feature which has a following of millions of chuckling readers in the big centers of population and we congratulate our readers on our being able to sign this outstanding star of humor for their entertain- ment.

"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 together with blindly together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." 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 "will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal 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 cf 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 title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

World war veterans, at present suffering from disability or disease resulting from military service, must file application for disability compensation before April 6. Claims are filed with the U.

"The City Manager of Cleverland is its executive head and responsible to the people for its acts of commission and omission. This includes the land-deals and other acts of the city so bitterly arraigned by our citizenry so generally, for many months past. It also includes the closing of the Nurses' Training school at City Hosiery, so that the thousands of Cleveland's most loyal residents, citizens, whose internes are also refused the right to train in that public institution, maintained by the taxpayers of the city."

He praised the selection of State Senator Daniel E. Man as the successor of City Manager Wm. R.

Of course, the fact that velvet and metal laces enter so largely into their make-up has a lot to do with the conviction these snug-fitting little hats carry in regard to their "dressup" intentions. The three petite afternoon chapeaux in the picture carry the point in discussion most admirably. Notwithstanding their simplicity, there is that about them which immediately tunes to thoughts of five o'clock tea matinee programs, bridge parties and such happy occasions of the afternoon social hour. The hat at the top is considerably shirred at each side of its crown and in connection with the long side drapes. The ornament is composed of glittering rhinestones set in a silver mounting. ELEGANCE OF THE IN THE BLOUSE AMONG the wardrobe items which this age of luxury demands, the blouse of gold or silver cloth stands high in the list. In fact, a resplendent metallic blouse has come to be regarded as a necessary luxury for the woman who registers among matinee "fans," or who attends bridge parties, teas or makes formal calls. By way of achieving that coveted dress-up appearance of those who keep social engagements, there is nothing that arrives at the goal so definitely as black velvet for the skirt with a cloth of metallics for the blouse. Seeing that the social season is now on in full swing, the present formal daytime picture is largely a matter of just such resplendent combinations. As to whether the silver or the gold note be accented, is left to the preference of the wearer. That silver-with-black is so closely contesting the gold-with-black effects is no doubt due to the vogue for anything which approaches the black-and-white theme which is at the present moment so outstanding in the winter mode. For the blouse herewith illustrated, the designer chooses the lovely silver met- Don't T But Give it Below is a very youthful model inspired by the hair ribbon styles of little girls as were in an age when long tresses had to be "tied back." This turban is of mauve velvet trimmed with a bow of self velvet. When it comes to velvet, milliners are making a pretty play on color. This is largely due to the fact that costume or ensemble hats are the call of the hour. To wear with the velvet frock in a rich forest green, the modiste creates a hat in like color, or if the gown be in one of the smart dahlia shades or perhaps a glowing wine red, it's modish for the hat to repeat the same coloring. The effort to bring back trimming to the millinery world is reflected in the model to the left, which is of black soilel with silver lace of very designful patterning. And the flirtatious eyebrow veil, it is conspicuous in the midwinter millinery picture. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ©, 1929, Western Newspaper Union. MODE EXPRESSED OF METAL WEAVE UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD al cloth striped in dark and light tones. One of the notable characteristics of many of the newer metallic materials, is their sheerness. Not that the heavier weaves are ignored for both play a prominent part in the mode. In fact some of the smartest metallics take on almost a lace-like appearance. Printed gold and silver cloth is the denier cri of the formal fabric mode. It is used for evening wraps, for the frock entire, as well as for the afternoon blouse. To those who prefer to merely suggest the metallic note, the new moles shot with gold or silver are making very special appeal. Then there are the handsome satin brocades which also include a patterning of gold and silver interweavings. Net embroidered with gold or silver dots is very charming for the blouse. Milliners as well as dressmakers are subscribing to the metal vogue, which results in very charming ensembles made up of bionise and chapeau fashioned of handsome metal-ile weaves, the same to be worn with velvet jacket-and-skirt suits.

Brooks-Director, American Highway Educational Bureau.) Impelled by forces now getting behind public work of every character, and especially under the leadership of President Hoover, plans are in the making for increased activity in road building as one of the most far-reaching and constructive agencies in national progress. In preparation for this objective, and for the consideration of other matters concerning highway improvement, members of the American Association of State Highway Officials have just held their regular annual meeting at San Antonio, Texas. This body is composed exclusively of highway officials who represent every state in the Union, and who also co-operate closely with the federal government in the administration of federal aid. At this meeting, legislative and financial needs in highway work for the immediate future were discussed and a resolution was passed recommending to congress that the federal aid appropriation be increased to $125,000,000. Federal Aid Project Federal Aid Project In carrying on their part of the nation's work, highway officials are stressing the importance of completing the main federal aid project as originally planned. This plan, it will be recalled, was to complete state and interstate routes first in order to save motor vehicle revenues from the drain of excessive repair costs where roads are not built sufficiently strong in the first instance to sustain heavy traffic. As to the wisdom of proceeding with increased activity on the original program, those in highway leadership assert that they are in line with President Hoover's engineering views on such matters. These views were expressed in one of his pre-election speeches at St. Louis and again on his recent visit to Cincinnati and Louisville in connection with waterway improvement. Tersely stated, it was the President's expressed judgment that trunk line waterways should be improved first, and highway officials in their recent conferences at San Antonio have again attested to the soundness of that principle as a means of conserving and making the safest possible use of highway construction capital. Taking the country as a whole, the use of public highways is increasing at an amazing rate, likewise motor vehicle operating waste is increasing where highways have not yet been brought up to modern standards in construction. This situation may be taken as a lesson that not only should there be no let up in road building, especially on routes that are heavily traveled, but that public work of this character should be intensified. It may be taken also as a reminder that there should be no evasion of the obligation due to motorists who have acquiesced in gasoline tax levies in the various states upon the assurance that the main traffic channels of the country would be pressed to completion as early as possible and thus take care of between 75 and 85 per cent of the country's traffic before attempting to stretch the federal aid principle beyond its present scope. With the initiative which President Hoover is taking in all internal improvement matters, it is expected that highway building soon will be greatly increased and thereafter maintained at a speed that will insure not only sustained employment in that particular field, but great profit to the country. Carbon May Be Present Use of high volatility, antiknocking gas may remove the noise traditionally associated with the presence of carbon in the engine, but it does not always mean that carbon is absent. Particularly after a winter of frequent choke use, there is likely to be carbon even if it is not causing the familiar old knock. It should be removed if inspection reveals an excess. Why not test the valve springs at the same time? The Motor Quiz How Many Can You Answer? Q. Why should tires be changed from one wheel to another? Ans. More mileage can be obtained from them if this is done. Tires that are run in the same position continuously develop wear peculiar to that position and if changed about wear is distributed. Q. Why should the dust that collects on the headlight lenses be removed? Ans. To improve illumination. Q. What other effect, aside from safety, results from the brakes being kept in good condition? Ans. Conservation of the driver's energy. Q. What will be the result if spark plugs are insecurely installed in the cylinder? Ans. Leakage of hot gases between the plug and cylinder threads will occur, causing the plug to run too hot, resulting in loss of power. Spark Time Indicator It is difficult to locate the exact point at which the contacts in the timer break and thereby cause the spark in the cylinder. You can, however, wire an electric light bulb, as shown, to get an absolute indication of the exact moment when the contact breaks. One terminal of the bulb is wired directly to the battery and the other to the terminal of the coil that is connected to the timer. When the contacts are closed the bulb will light. When the Timer Contacts Are Closed, the Bulb Lights; When They Break, the Light Goes Out. When the Timer Contacts Are Closed, the Bulb Lights; When They Break, the Light Goes Out. When the contacts break, the bulb will go out. This method of timing or checking the ignition system is one which will be found helpful not only to the garage mechanic but to the motorist who works on his own car in his spare time. It does away with guesswork and because of its simplicity of operation saves considerable time on the job.-Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE HINTS More autos are abused out than worn out. the international automobile classic is scheduled for Daytona Beach March 1 to 15, 1930. He who never looks at his tires when they are inflated wonders what caused the blowout. There are enough autos in the United States for everybody to ride at once and the pedestrians would be safer if they did. Fire prevention beats fire protection. Tire inspection beats changing the darn things on a cold day on the highway. Fairy Story: "Oh, fudge!" said the pettish driver of the ten-ton sand truck as its rear axle collapsed and dropped to the pavement with a bang. The stop light should be in good working order at all times. The operator in the car in the rear watches this more than he does arm signals. When your auto is traveling 40 miles an hour it coyers about 60 feet in a second. This means that if it hits something, something is going to be smashed. "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 the Republican George of "distinguished guest of honor" that evening, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, veteran editor and campaigner whom the local Republican leader, National Committeeman Maurice Maschke, publically characterized during the campaign as "the best campaigner in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county for thirty years". Mr. Smith, and his paper, "The Old Reliable"—Cleveland Gazette—acknowledges that a tower of help in his recent strenuous campaign to be re-elected to the City Council. More, Editor Smith with his newspaper and campaign speeches 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 H. Finkle (white), Republican door-keeper, and 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 person in the campaign. This the 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 of honor" was undoubtedly an oversight because the veteran editor and campaigner made decidedly the best speech, that evening. (Dr.) E. A. Bailey, 5400 Woodland Ave., Cleveland, O. We 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.

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. In the absence by mob the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as personally 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 be arrested and not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.1) 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 $10,000.

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 damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, there be no widow or minor children there, and the widow, such sum shall be distributed the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

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 person. 162. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured in a lynching or any other 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 to seek keeping, which the synchro committee 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 to disperse such mob (93 v. 123 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 (Kentucks) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching, try 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 engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: 12.140 Code of Ohio: Sec. 12.140 Whoever, being the proprietor of a shop 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 color the full enjoyment of the accounted services of 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. 12.141 Whoever violates the next preceding section also shall not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved 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, Zanzville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Plqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. 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 the law, and disputes. The few who do 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 citizens, all wrong. The sooner we face 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.
