AN APPRECIATION. Washington, D. C., Jan. 18, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I have just read the "DePriest-Abbott" editorial in the Jan. 18, 1920, issue of The Gazette and wish to commend every word of it. Just as you say, our enemies trap us by dividing our leadership, arraying one against the other. It is well known in congressional circles, as you also state, that no representative really gets the "feel" of matters here until he shall be able to make more terms. It seems to be overlooked that the late Congressman Martin B. Madden served as a representative from Congressman DePriest's district for some years before he was recognized, and it took many years to reach the high position he occupied at the time of his death. We should beware of gifts from uncertain sources. Very respectfully yours, Secretary to Hon. Oscar D'Priest the 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 he repulsed with his cartoonists, leading cartoonists in fields where he has pioneered. 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 avail- War Vet Gets Medal. Evansville, Ind.-Alfred T. Duncan, member of the 317th Trench Mortar Battalion, of the 92nd Division, received an Inter-Allied Medal of Victory and a certificate from the French government, recently, after a 11 year wait. His battalion destroyed a huge German munition dump on Armistice Day and 25 of his comrades were killed. Subscribe Now IN THE SOUTH! SEGREGATION LOSES. Austin, Tex.-Cities in this state are powerless to enforce race segregation ordinances, according to the Supreme Court of Texas, in a decision, last week Wednesday. The court denied a rehearing to the city of Dallas in a proceeding against the Liberty Afnex Corporation, owner of an Afro-American subdivision of real estate. The city ordinance was held to be contrary to the due process of law section of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Richmond, Va.-The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here has just affirmed the recent decision of the U. S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, which declared the recently enacted segregation ordinance passed by the City Council of Richmond to be unconstitutional. PIONEER DAYS CIRCUS GREAT EXPOSITION! Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, Open a Great Indoor Circus and Exposition Which Should Not Be Missed By Any. Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, are busy preparing for its grand opening of its Pioneer Days Circus and Exposition which will be held in Elks' Auditorium, 2226 E. 55th St. opening, Sunday afternoon, Jan. 26, '30. A number of high-class circus acts have been secured and the aerialists, acrobats, trained horses and ponies, gymnasts and a bunch of funny clowns, whose antics will please the old as well as the young, are all ready to "go" when the ring-master's whistle blows. They are the best and all our guests should there. Do not miss a real treat. The object of the show is to raise funds for the Elks' building budget and to assist its charity movement, both worthy causes! There will be two performances daily (matinee and night) and the admission price has been placed within the reach of all, only 25 cents. HAITI SURVEY FUND And Commission Authorized by the U. S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Washington, D. C.—Declining to authorize the appointment of a commission to study Haitian conditions as requested by President Hoover, the Senate foreign relations committee, Wednesday, approved a substitute proposal authorizing the expenditure of $50,000 for such a commission if the President wished to name one. It was the view of the commission that the power to appoint any commission he desired and that there was no necessity for congressional action. Jewish Co-Ed Fights Race-Ban. Milwaukee, Wis.—Mildred L. Gordon, age 20, of Chicago, a Jewess, and a junior at the University of Wisconsin, has sued university officials for $10,000 alleging that she was banned from a woman's dormitory here on account of her race. The application blank which she filed asked for her religion. She wrote that she was Jewish. Several Jewish students who applied for admittance to the dormitory Gordon declared that her room-reservation in Langdon Hall was accepted, Aug. 21, along with her application fee of $25, but she was refused admittance to the dormitory when she arrived with her baggage A. Student Commits Suicide. A Student Commits Suicide. Wilberforce, O., Edward Alonzo Morales, student of the university, committed suicide, last week Thursday night, in his room in Emery Hall, by drinking poison. Morales, whose home was in Tampa, Fla., was killed in the U.S. physical education, with a scholastic average of "E". He was a member of the football squad, the Omega Phi Psi fraternity, the Dramatic Club active in student activities, and very popular.

Washington, D.C., Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, who has two candidates and four alternates to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis said this week that he has until March 30th to pass in his list of names. The congressman said that he can't state just yet who will be named, nor when the names will be made public. Obituary. Buffalo, N. Y.—Wm. H. Talbert died, Monday morning. He was one of our most prominent residents and the Talbert family one of the oldest in New York state. Mr. Talbert leaves a wife, daughter and granddaughter. He was the husband of the late Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, years ago president of our National Federation of Women's clubs. Parents 11 Years Old. Atlanta, Ga. — Odessie, a baby girl, was born here, Oct. 11, to Abelzey and Rachel Robertson. The health department has started an investigation, since the birth certificate states that both parents are 11 years old. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GEORGE A. MYERS GONE! THOSE OF THE RACE IN CLEVELAND LOSE ONE OF OUR REAL LEADERS. Nearly Fifty Years a Success in Business—Proprietor of "The Best Barber Shop in America," Said Elbert Hubbard—His Political and Home Life—Expressions of Sorrow. The community at large, because he was so well-known locally, was shocked, last week Friday, to learn of the sudden death of George A. Myers, for forty-two years proprietor of the Hollden barber shop. He dropped dead in the local N. Y. Central ticket office just after purchasing transportation to Hot Springs, Ark., where he intended spending about a month in an effort to improve his health which had been broken two years ago and a half. Mr. Myers suffered from heart trouble. Three years ago he ill with influenza which his physician said weakened his heart. Recently, the latter ordered him to go away for a rest. This he was planning for when death overtook him so suddenly, last week Friday about noon. It was his intention to leave for the South on Sunday or Monday of this week, so he 'phoned the editor of the Gazette, last week Wednesday. Mr. Myers being when his daughter, Miss Dorothy, was his father to the street-car in her auto from the Myers home at 10903 Pasadena Ave., he told her he was feeling better than he had for a long time. Mr. Myers was born in Baltimore on March 5, 1859. His father, Isaac Myers, was recognized as one of our leaders, in Maryland, when his son left Baltimore for Cleveland about fifty years ago. For many years George A. Myers was foreman of the barber shop, the leading place in the city. In 1888 when the new Hollden House was opened, he took charge of the shop there and owned and operated it until the time of his sudden death. Hubbard Gave Slogan. Of this shop Elbert Hubbard, founder of Roycroft and publisher of the Phillistine, sald: "The Best Bar Shop in America!" That declaration has been emblazoned in old English letters on the marble above one of the mirrors of the shop since Hubbard said it. In January, 1928, the Barbers' National Journal published an article by W. W. Snypp in which the praises of Mr. Myers and his shop were sung. In that article Mr. Myers is credited with first having suggested the building of barber chairs of enameled iron. His shop was the first one he owned. "But the most unusual feature of the shop," Snypp wrote, "is the telephone service provided at each chair. While having his hair cut a patron may talk to his home or transact business. A desk phone is plugged in like a stand lamp and removed when not in use". Mr. Myers aided the late James Ford Rhodes in gathering material for the latter's "History of the United States From the Compromise of 1850" by publishing that work. Rhodes added his note, "I am indebted to George A. Myers of Cleveland for useful suggestions". Thousands of others *called Mr. Myers their friend and sometimes their counselor. He was well-known by the late Mark Hanna. President William McKinley, the Boltons, the Mathers and many other old and the young, other old and his acquaintance with Mr. Hanna, are early in his career in Cleveland. In 1892, Mr. Myers was a member of the Ohio delegation to the Republican national convention in Minneapolis. McKinley was chairman of that convention. In the caucus of the Ohio delegation Myers cast the decision to be president. McKinley-Hanna organization into being. In 1896, at the St. Louis convention, Mr. Myers introduced "Uncle Mark" as a nickname for Hanna. Cherished Badges. On the walls of Mr. Myers' bed room hung three large frames containing numerous badges that once decorated his lapel at conventions. Framed mottos, with personal inscriptions from Hubbard, hung there too. One inscription reads: "To George Myers, who is never idle, from his friend, Elbert Hubbard". Hubbard wrote Mr. Myers many letters and in these he addressed him as "My dear Brother George". Mr. Myers was always active in civic affairs in Cleveland. He was a member of the City Club, the Association for Criminal Justice, the Early Setters' Association, the N. A. A. C. Association, the N. A. A. C. active in St. James' A. M. E. Church. The welfare of the race and its fight against handicaps of color was one of the greatest interests of his life. Last Monday night he saw a new goal achieved for which he had worked for several years when the THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Aro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Aro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS YOUTH! MYERS GONE! IN CLEVELAND LOSE ONE REAL LEADERS. ccess in Business—Proprietor or Shop in America," Said His Political and Home missions of Sorrow. City Council adopted a resolution for the admission of our internes and nurses to City Hospital. With the editor of The Gazette, he had been one of the earliest campaigners in the fight to gain that privilege for our nurses and young doctors. Had Notable Library. The third floor of Mr. Myers' home was his library and club room. The front half is lined with row upon row of books, including a notable library of books by our authors. He was said to have possessed one of George A. Myers. the finest libraries on the race in the country. The other half of the third floor is a billiard room where he would play for an hour or so every night. Then he would go to his room and read from the bible for a half hour before retiring. Mr. Myers was married, April 7, 1896, to Miss Maude Stewart, who survives him. He leaves also one daughter, Dorothy, a teacher of music in Hazeldeel public school, and one son, Herbert D. Myers, teacher of general science at Outhwaite school. Herbert's mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Myers, Mr. Myers' first wife, lives in Baltimore. Express Sorrow. Expressions of sorrow come not only from the employee of his shop in the Hollanden, but from civic and business leaders. Some of the expressions were: Peter Witt—Geecher Myers was a remarkable man. He knew more of the great and near-great produced in Cleveland than any other man. He knew his business. He was a leader of whom his people need not be ashamed. Edwin D. Barry, director of public safety—I have known George Myers since he was head of the barber shop in the Weddell House. I was an office boy in O'Brien's ticket agency at that time. He was a great friend of his people and he had as many white friends as any Afro-American in Cleveland. His death is a great loss to all of us. Wm. R. Hopkins—For nearly two generations George Myers has been one of the inimitable figures in Cleveland. His correspondence with eminent men was good enough and unusual enough to justify its preservation. But most of the people who would have missed him have preceded him. Daniel E. Morgan, state senator—In the death of George A. Myers his people in this city lost a leading representative and Cleveland a splendid citizen. Hoyt V. Shulters, president of the National City Bank—We had been friends for more than 25 years. I always admired George Myers. He was a man of education and a fine citizen Newton D. Baker—George Myers was a very interesting personality. He was a man of strong mind and deep interest in historical and public affairs. His knowledge of political conditions in America for the last 30 years was intimate. Alva Bradley, president of the Claremont Baseball Club I, knew George Myers for years. He held high grade gentleman and a potential political leader of his people. He will be missed greatly. Funeral services were held at the Myers residence, Tuesday afternoon, interment being in Lake View cemetery. Rev's. D. O. Walker, of St. James A. M. E. church, Russell S. Brown, of Mt. Zion Cong. church, and J. S. Jackson, of Columbus, former pastor of Allen Temple A. M. E. church, Hannah officiated.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930. Inadvertently, and surely not intentionally, we failed to mention the names of Councilmen Clayborne George and Rev. Russell S. Brown, former councilman, as among those most active over a lengthy period in their opposition to a "Jim Crow" Hospital and in their efforts to open the City Hospital to our boys and girls to train. And there may be others whom we have failed to mention, but will do so as rapidly as we recall their names. NEWSPAPERS AND FLEMING. Word comes from Columbus that the three Cleveland daily newspapers have flooded the State Supreme Court with letters and copies of their publications in an effort to influence the court in its review of the Thomas Fleming-Walter Oehme case. It is sincerely to be hoped that they will be the failures in this that they were in their valn attempts to influence the local voters just prior to last fall's election, and their equally as abortive and valn attempts to keep Color-line City Hospital Wm. R. Hopkins, city manager, from being ousted. They have been on the wrong side so often, last year and this, that it would not surprise The Gazette in the least to learn that they have "run true to form" and gotten on the wrong side of this Fleming-Oehme matter which is to be considered by the State Supreme Court on our birthday, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1930. GEORGE' A. MYERS. We remember well when Mr Myers first arrived in Cleveland nearly 50 years ago, and knew him well ever since. He was the one member of the race in this city who enjoyed the closest contact with the largest number of leading wealthy and business professional white men. He was one of, if not the most successful business man of color in Cleveland, because he was a close student of his business and very progressive. He did not divide his time, attention and means in a participation in other business efforts. This was one of the secrets of his splendid success in business. His work for the race in church, lodge, and other organizations, was good, particularly so in the case of the Church. But the one thing in his whole career that stands out in bold relief, greatly overshadowing anything he has ever helped to do for our people in this community since the day of his arrival, and the thing in all his career in this city that will be remembered long after all else is forgotten, is his splendid work in the effort to open the Cleveland City hospital to our boys and girls to train, and which terminated in a glorious victory but a few days before his sudden and untimely death. That, to our way of thinking, and we knew George A. Myers as well as any other person in the city outside of his immediate family, is "the greatest star in his crown". He did splendid work, always loyal and active in the matter, giving "The Old Rellable" Gazette the greatest assistance it received in that contest from any person or organization. His death removes a potent factor that those of the race in Cleveland can ill afford to lose at this time. His loss will be felt and keenly, too, for years to come. His family—his wife, son and daughter—have our heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement. Next to the ass, for much unadulterated "brass", commend us to Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, "Negro"-hating ex-premier of South Africa and, it is said, one of the ablest statesmen in that English dependency. In a recent speech in N. Y. City, with Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute sitting on the same platform, Smuts delivered himself of the following most insulting (to twelve million loyal Americans), assinine expression: "The (African) 'Negro' is the most patient of all animals next to the jackass". Whereupon Dr. Moton arose, following Smuts' speech, and demanded an explanation of the fool expression. Smuts in replying said he had all respect for the patience of the "Negro" race. "I think that patience is something that we white people might learn from the 'Negroes.' We would be much happier if we did." The general said that his words were not meant as an insult but as a result of his admiration of the ability of the "Negro" to sing and be content amid suffering and tragedy. It is clear that Smuts has been accustomed, in South Africa and England, to saying just what he pleased about the "Negroes" of South Africa and forgot for the moment that he was speaking to Americans, a few Afro-Americans, and as a result, received a much-needed lesson in that far too mild protest of Dr. Moton's. English and Dutch in South Africa are so accustomed to taking advantage of and mistreating in various ways black natives there, including the outraging of their women, that they have lost all respect for "Negroes" generally, and sorely need even more drastic "rebuffs" when they so far forget themselves as to make such "breaks" as Smuts did in his recent N. Y. speech. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Smuts-Howard University conference, held later, did the former "a world of good". He sure needs it. GEORGE A. MYERS GONE. $ ^{a} $ (Continued From Page 1) tributes most numerous and indeed beautiful. Rev's. H. P. Jones of St John A. M. E. church, Ernest Hall of E. M. Tzlon Baptist church and a splendid male chorus assisted in the services. Many letters of condolence were received from leading members of both races in and out of the city, the most prominent postmen of both races. W.R. Thing, president Emeritus, W.R. Bros. Undertakers had charge of the funeral arrangements and Director Barry furnished an escort of five mounted policemen. Additional Local "Hallelujah", King Vidor's all- "Negro" premiere picture, one of the few real sensations of the season, will be in the Waltonf Theater, E. 119th St. and Kinnam Rd., Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 2, 3 and 4. Its scenes are all laid in the old South, prior to the war of the rebellion, but its wonderful singing and dancing are strictly up-to-date and really exceptional. One of the characters in the picture is Wr. Fountain, a Cleveland boy. The leafing characters, male and female, are among our best in the country. All concede that it is really a wonderful picture. Go out to the Waltonf on any of the dates mentioned above, see it and judge for yourself. Lemuel T. Boydston Post has moved into new quarters at 7818 Cedar Ave. It will give a military ball in Public Auditorium dance hall on Washington's birthday. Fraternal and drill teams will compete for silver cups. The Post has a new publication, "The Coutie." On April 16, the members of the 3720 Inf., the old Ninth Ohio Battalion, will receive the colors at Columbus, from the French Ambassador, that led them into battle in 1918. The monarch coached in France, the dead of the 3720 Inf., was the first-ever there for members of the A. E. F. The Post has a picture of it and an address made at the time of its dedication. It hopes to win the honor of carrying away the Martin trophy, again this year. Nearly 1,500 guests danced to the music of two orchestras, last week Tuesday night, at Elks Hall, at the inaugural ball for Mayor Arthur R. Johnston of Miles Heights village, under the auspices of the Miles Heights Chamber of Commerce. Officials of the county and city were in the crowd: County Commissioners J. H. Harris, Walter E.

Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a news-paper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-five years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and consciousness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR.

They are big feeder, and it's coating me a pile of jack. And this Dugan don't never say anything about going out to the theater nor the movie as his guest so I don't care if he does get the worst of it and marry this Core.

Prime Sport News Prime Sport News Jack Still Leading. New York City. — John Arthur Johnson, former world's champion heavyweight, whose playing of the bass fiddle, in time past, has attracted attention, now leads a jazz orchestra in a Broadway chop suey establishment. "Gorilla" Stops Hybert. Holyoke, Mass.—"Gorilla" Jones, Akron, O., welterweight, scored a technical knockout over Floyd Hybert (white) of Newark, N. J., after 2 minutes and 55 seconds of the third round of their bout at the Valley Arena here, last week Friday night. Jones weighed 155, Hybert 160½. A Chicago "Phenom". New York City—Larry Johnson, Chicago light-heavyweight, the most promising youngster seen in these parts in that division in many a day, and looked upon by many to capture the world championship before a year or so goes by, lived up to excerpts by knocking out Joe Sekyra in the finals, and it took but two minutes for Larry Johnson on Joe's head and put him out. But that right of Johnson's has put over a dozen of them down that way in succession. Once down they seldom come up. If they do, they go down again—to stay put, as it were. Johnson is the first of the race in a long while to loom up in the light heavyweight class with any possibility of going right on to the top. He got to the top in the stablemate of Tuffy Griffiths and his ager, Jack O'Keefe of Chicago, has issued a sweeping defy to the light heavyweights who have been milling around in a circle and getting nowhere since Tommy Loughran threw the title on the open market. "Johnson has won his last 13 fights by knockouts," says O'Keefe, and none of his victims went more. He puncher and will be able to d75 for a long time although he has the frame of a heavyweight" "Ester," said an actress, who appeared on the same bill with me some years ago, "why don't you use Hi-Ja Quinine Dressing? It would improve your hair and increase your beauty one hundred per cent." My hair has always been a trial to me so I tried Hi-Ja. "Thank heavens I did, for as my actress friend had told me, this wonderful, delicately scented, non-greasy hair dressing did wonders with my hair. It made it longer, straighter and more silky than it had ever been before. It enabled me to dress it in becoming styles that in my life charm. Soon, instead of being my least attractive feature, my hair became my most admired physical asset and since that day has always been complimented. Now Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing is my most highly prized beauty aid." Yours as always.

You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeills, 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.

Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Realable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. "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 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 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 of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are no worse 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. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

As to practicality of a sturdy cloth sult at this time of the year, there ean be no question. ‘The model in the picture registers near if not quite up to the perfection mark in matter of weave, coloring and styling. It is de- veloped in tones of brown and light beige, the blouse being In eggshell tint," It ts collared and cuffed in beaver, for beaver is an acclaimed Teader’ among trimming furs. ‘The adroit bandings of self fabric on the skirt adds greatly to its attractive. ness, It fs greatly due to the springlike eolorings of wintry tweeds that the season for ensembles made of them is Bpolonged. | Many of the smartest i are in soft green colorings, or Ap volt tones or bluezray, shades, mus combining warmth in thelr sturdy colorful weave with an appearance of spring, Fashion's foreword announces that spring will usher in a season of fas- warm browns, lively beige shades, fireband red, bright navy and a whole host of exquisite pastels not _men- toned here, which leads one to con- elude that whatever the tone or tint of the frock or coat, it can he and should be topped with a matching felt hat. Also these gay felts add a fresh- ening touch of color to midwinter tars. Many Interesting things are being @one with felts. They are being tucked—even shirred, so thin and workable are some—and the newest ‘of the new is the perforated or cut- out felts, some-of which are eyelet ‘embroidered. ‘There is a tendency toward higher ‘crowns and widened brims, and espe- dally toward side-manipulated brims with unique eyebrow lines, which so often conceal the hair. It Is scarcely necessary to describe the felt models in the pleture. Cal- lectively they emphasize the. impor- tance of felt, individually they stress certain outstanding features. For in- stance, of the two larger models, the hat at the top sports a little flaring euff across the buck neckline, which cinating suits in which rippling hem- Unes, Jabots, peplums, belts, myriads of capes, fitted jackets, gored lines and diagonal closings will play a ver- satile part. ‘There will be lots of stitching done in a designful way on the new sults, Insets and pintucks will also be em- ployed in profusion. ‘The new suit types range through tailored and sports modes to dressy versions, the latter individualized with interesting dressmaker details, Jackets will be nipped in by rows ot Inverted tucks at the sides, or else they will be belted in, for the fitted line at the waist enters into suit styling. Softly flared peplums will also. indi- cate many a waistline, In addition to the popular tweeds coverts are coming back as a sult fabric. Woolens in fancy weaves will also be widely employed. ‘These will include basket weave effects with col- ored nubs, colorful light frosted fab- ries, also Ught tweeds which have a heavy appearance. ‘The importance given fabrics tor hats, searfs, and handbags accents the vogue for woolens in bright hues, JULIA BOTTOMLEY, Ade Adee Weticn sionoebex Unten. is closely stitched with silver thread. Metal stitching, by the way, on felt shapes {s generously employed. The stitchery is done either row-and-row or sometimes very decoratively in plaid- ed effects, triangles and in other in- teresting motifs. Gold, silver, copper and bronze threads are used singly or en suite. The other hat to the right empha- sizes the forehead-revealing vogue which is being carried into spring silhouettes. ‘The smaller pictures emphasize those types which are not especially blocked, deriving their individual char- acter from the manner in which the soft brims are turned up with a view to achieving becomingness to the wearer. When a “first” hat is not felt, then It 1s very apt,to stress felt in combl- nation with sttaw or fabric or ribbon, ‘The new colte¢tions include many taffeta hats which gre handsomely em- broldered or allover stitched in self color. These follow the lead of felts, in their bright tones and pastel tints. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (1980, Western Newspaper Union.) THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930.

Behind a screen of deepest mystery, one of the great automobile manufac- turers of the United States Is evolv- {ng just such an automobile. It will not be ready for several years, prob- ably, and by that time it is anticipated that roads suitable for safe speeds well in excess of 100 miles an hour will extend the length and breadth of the country. Wind pressure, which now fights against speed, will be the friendly genil that will make these great speeds safe. To this end, every feature of the mystery car is being tested in the whirlwind of super wind tunnels, de- signed after exhaustive research by ventilating engineers, Powerful fans provide hurricanes beyond any ever loosed by nature in her wildest moods. Under the pressure of a wind which, It developed by the car’s own motion, would represent a speed far in excess of 100 miles an hour, this mystery model hugs the ground and is held steady against all stresses and strains of the road. As scientists know, a fast moving object acting on still air causes It to HONEY IS USEFUL IN ZERO WEATHER (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Another agricultural product finds a new use. ‘This time it is honey. Honey, mixed with water, has been tested as an antifreeze solution by private motorists and state agricul- tural colleges. Practically all reports of these experiments have been favor- able, says James I. Hambleton, apicul- turist in charge of the bee culture laboratory of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Proper Proportion. ‘The proper proportion of honey to water varies according to the lowest temperature expected, says Mr. Ham- bleton, Where zero weather is ex- pected, equal parts of honey and water are commonly used, Such a mixture begins to form slush at zero, however, and a greater proportion of honey 1s required for best results at lower tem- peratures. In the northern part of the United States and in Canada a mixture of three parts of honey to two of wa- ter, or even two to one, may be best. A quart of alcohol added to each three gallons of the mixture will im- prove the circulation. ‘To make the solution, use a cheap grade of extracted honey, stirring it into hot water. Heat the mixture to a boil and skim off the scum. If al- cobol is used, stir it in and boll from three to five minutes. Fill the rad- lator and maintain the level by adding water as needed. Mr, Hambleton cites a number of ad- vantages of the honey mixture. Be- cause it bolls at a higher temperature than water there is no loss from evap- oration, and it is necessary to add only water from time to time. Honey solutions expand much less than wa- ter when freezing, and when in proper proportions they do not freeze solid but form a slush, This tends to eliminate the danger of bursting rad- fators. Furthermore, says Mr. Ham- bleton, some motorists may find it ad- vantageous for use in the summer when long steep grades or heavy pulls are encountered, for it not only freezes at a lower temperature but boils at a higher temperature than water. Avoid Leakage. When honey is used as an antifreeze mixture it is Important that all gas- gets, pump packing, and hose connec- tlons be Ught. A slight seepage around the hose connection is not serious, but any considerable quantity leaking into the engine may cause considerable difficulty, Should honey reach the cylinders and valve heads, it will carbonize, making {t necessary to remove the engine head and clean ‘out the residue. present almost the characteristics of a solid, and this fact {s being utilized to the utmost in the development of the car of the future. Instead of ex- erting a pressure that tends to litt the car from the ground as in the case of most present-day models, the wind pushes down, exerting tremendous pressure and making It impossible for the ear to turn over while traveling at high speed. This tends to make speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour really safer than the slower speeds, and with good roads built to equal the capacity of the ear, will bring about a new era of fast automobile transportation. Some Idea of how this works ean be obtained by looking at the “Golden Arrow,” the racing car of Maj. H. 0. D, Seagrave, wiio established a record of 211.2 miles per hour on the sands of Daytona Beach, Fla, So far this car represents the far thest advance in turning wind resist- nce into “wind assistance” ever seen in the United Suites. The seoop-like prow presents an area against which the wind forms a terrific pressure. ‘The gently upward slope transfers this back pressure into a downward pressure which holds the car against the road. Careful streamlining. pre- vents counter-neting pressures against the rest of the car.

MERITED PRAISE _ Of Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney’s Splendid Work, “Cineinnatt's Colored Citizens" —Out ot iss Golinacs. “Home, Sweet Home’ means something to Wendell P. Dabney, veteran editor of the Cincinnati Union (412 MeAllister St... Cincin- nati, ©.) and public-spirited citizen for many years, of Cincinnati, chiet metropolis of southern Ohio. Mr. Dabney has taken the time, the care, and the effort necessary to produce a volume setting forth the history and the achievements of “Cinein- nati's 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 historical yolume in ef- forts to show the soul as well as the 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, his- torical and otherwise, of the devel- opment of the Colored wing of Cin- cinnati from “prehistoric-times”” to date. The advancement of the Cin- cinnati Negro, as described by Dab- ney, is indeed amazing; and it is only upon coming face to face with proofs of the race’s growth, not only in Cincinnati, but everywhere, that we can fully appreciate the silver lin- ing of the cloud which has hovered over us for so long. From slavery to complete and composite represen- tation in every activity of a great American city fs the answer Cincin- nati 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 three-quarters advances, and 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 hy publishing his worthy volume, “Cin- cinnati’s Colored Citizens", | which may be profitably read, not ‘only by Ohioans, but by the world—Pitts- bureh Courter. DE PRIEST-ABBOTT, Congressman Oscar DePriest is serving well his first term. There- fore, according to all the rules of polities, he is entitled to a second term, at least. Whenever our ene- mies want to rob us of such repre- sentation they get some other mem- ber of the race to oppose our suc- cessful 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 thus they get rid of “the Negro rep- resentative” and win another for themselves, This thing was tried in ge ee __ os a Ss ar Se Wea shee oe 2 Voz "Oscar Oe PoesT two instances here in Cleveland, last fall, and only hereulean 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 dis- tance, pull hard for Oscar DePriest’s re-election. One term in any legis- lative 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 mat- ter of six years’ (three terms) ex- perience in Ohfo State Assemblies. We do not believe that the Chicago Tribune or any other thing, or per- son, or persons could possibly induce Editor Abbott or any other sane member of the race to oppose Con- gressman Oscar DePriest’s re-elec- tion at this time.

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 edi- tor had enaced 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, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance by land or water, theater or other place of publie 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 accommodations, advantages, facili- tles 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. See. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than ‘fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- {sdiction in the county where such offense was committed, This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court.
