"Truth is proper and beautiful at all times and in all places, and it is never more proper and beautiful in any case than when speaking of a great public man whose example is likely to inspire him, and imitation long after his departure to the solemn shades—the silent continents of eternity. It must be admitted, truth compels me to admit, even here in the presence of the monument we have erected to his memory, Abraham Lincoln was not, in the fullest sense of the word, the man or our leader. In his interests, his association, in his habits of thought and in his prejudices, he was a white man. "He was pre-eminently the white man's President, entirely devoted to the welfare of white men. He was ready and willing at any time during the first years of his administration, to deny, postpone, and sacrifice the rights of humanity in the colored white people of this country of the white people of this country of his education and feeling he was an American. He came into the Presidential chair upon one principle alone, namely, opposition to the extension of slavery. His arguments in furtherance of this policy had their motive and mainspring in his patriotic devotion to the interest of his own race. To protect, defend, and fortify the slave system where it existed, Abraham Lincoln was not less ready than any other President to draw the sword of the nation. He was ready to execute all the supposed constitutional guarantees of the U. S. constitution in favor of the slave system anywhere inside the slave states. He was willing to pursue, recapture, and send the slave to fugitive slave captain, and to suppress a slave-rising for his liberty, though his guilty master were already in arms against the Government. The race to which we belong were not the special objects of his consideration. Knowing this, I concede to you, my white fellow-citizens, a pre-eminence in this worship at once full and supreme. First, midst, and last, you and yours were the most deservingfection and his most deserving solicitude". FROM "THE GOLDEN WEST". A Native of Ohio, A Correspondent of The Oakland (Calif.) Tribune, Wants the Editor to Run for Congress. Oakland, Calif., Jan. 21, '30. Hon Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: You are so irrepressible in any fight you undertake that I am wondering why you did not years ago run for congress? You never should have retired from active politics. Just think what you could have done for the race. Other men might have tried, but you know no such word as fail, and you would have carried out a program of greatest value to the race. But since you never want to congress you certainly have increased the value of the citizenship of our race in Ohio with your candidacies for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State and Governor. I certainly hope, some day, I can visit Cleveland at a favorable season and under pleasing circumstances. In the meantime, I am wishing you, good health and a long happy life, since you will have a birthday next week. I also wish to speak of your editorial concerning the DePriest and Abbott candidacies for Congress. It hit the subject squarely, but I hardly think Mr. Abbott will run. He is a diplomat and by this announcement will be the estimate of him the people hold. (Miss) Abbott L. Beasley. HIS HEART BROKEN? IT WOULD SEEM SO! If Current Talk Is to Be Fully Credited—Forced Out of the Hollendon Shop After, Over Forty Years. Some months ago the Hollendon Hotel management arranged to rent the store-room in the southwest corner of the Hollendon Hotel building, corner of Vincent Ave. and E. 6th St. to a barber (white). The papers in the deal were all drawn up and ready to be signed, it is said, when the people who now occupy the store-room offered a larger rental and was given the place. There- George A. Myers. upon, the barber, referred to above, threatened the hotel management with suit for damages, which, the story goes, forced Manager DeWitt into an agreement to place him in the Hollend堡 Barber Shop as mannequin on the expiration of the lease of George A. Myers. The hollend堡 management thereupon, it is said, purchased Myers' barber shop equipment for three thousand dollars with the understanding that Myers was to notify his employees, and to vacate on Saturday evening at the close of business hours. Forced to sell his shop, Myers left the business for a number of whom had been with him many years, that they were out of a job with business generally at such a very low ebb—this, it is said, is what was weightly heavier on his mind and heart when George A. Myers went to the N. Y. Central ticket office, two weeks ago last Friday noon, to purchase a ticket for Hot Arkansas, where he hoped to recuperate. For a year he had suffered from heart trouble, and just prior to his death had been ordered to take a rest. Therefore, when he had purchased his ticket and turned from the counter, fully realizing the disagreeable task that awaited him on his return to his shop—inform his employees of the reason for his absence on his heart was too much, with the result that he fell dead in the ticket office. The contemptible lie started by white enemies of the race, in this city, and being circulated by them and some of their "Negro" dupes, to the effect that George A. Myers said he did not want any colored man to succeed him as proprietor of the Hollenden House Barber Shop is such a sly one that we cannot imagine any people being so credulous as to believe and circulate it for a moment. Probably the most distressing phase of this whole affair (according to local talk), is the hotel management's effort to make Myers' employees believe that their employer was responsible for the sad condition they are left in by the refusal to renew Myers' contract after more proprietorship and the summary closing of the shop, Saturday night, throwing them out of employment. George Myers is dead and can make no explanation. But his long-time friend, "The Old Reliable" Gazette is doing so for him. George A. Myers was in no wise responsible for the loss, to his employees and to our people of this community, of the best business of the kind in the city which Elbert Hubbard, founder of Roycroft, and publisher of "The Philistine", termed "The best barber shop in America".

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS HIS MOST INSULTING TREATMENT ADDED TO HIS DENIAL OF CITIZEN RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN CITY HOSPITAL To Cleveland Afro-American Republicans Too Much They Will Not Be Condoned Nor His Belated Promises "To Be Good" Accepted. Last week, Thursday morning, in a conference with City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, the editor of The Gazette made a strong and vigorous protest against the re-appointment of director of public welfare, Dudley Blossom. When the city manager took office, a few weeks ago, Mr. Blossom's resignation was placed in his hands along with others. City Manager Morgan offered the position to the Hon. Lawrence Norton, a member of the Ohio Legislature from this county, and to at least one other both of whom refused it. The pressure for Blossom's re-appointment being made principally by wealthy friends and others, nearly if not all of whom strenuously opposed the election of the members of the City Council who elected Senator Daniel E. Morgan, city manager. On last Friday afternoon our three councilmen, Messrs. George Payne, and Bundy, in conference with the City Manager, voiced the unalterable opposition of the great mass of our people of this community to the re-appointment of Director Blossom who is holding office pending the appointment of his successor. Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George were voted for by our people third and fourth councilman districts and fourth councilman standing that they were first and foremost to use their every effort to bring about the ousting of City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and his director of welfare, Dudley Blossom. Hopkins was promptly ousted with their invaluable assistance, and Director Blossom must also go, for good and sufficient reasons, referred to in the following article. His retention in office would mean the loss of the third and in all probability the fourth councilman districts to the Republican ticket of this county at this fall's election, for the very reason that Bundy, the City Manager can do at this time that would even in a small degree so alienate the support of our people of this community. BLOSSOM MUST GO! As between the two—Hopkins and Blossom—the latter was far more insulting and contemptuous in his treatment of several delegations of our leading men, and Rev. Horace C. Bailey, who called upon him in connection with the City Hospital connection in which Blossom delivered his diatribes was even more offensive than his insulting talk. Blossom Must Go. Director of Welfare Dudley Blossom tendered his resignation to City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, and MUST go out following his chief Ex-City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. Far more insulting to our people of this community, who number more than sixty thousand, all Republicans, was this same Dudley Blossom. Far more aggravatingly insulting language, used in addressing several delegations of leading local Afro-Americans who called upon him relative to the unfair discrimination at City Hospital, make him even more objectionable to all of our people of this community than was the former city manager, Color-Line City Hospital Wm. R. Hopkins. Blossom was more opposed to our girls and boys training in that public institution than was Hopkins. We cannot be made to believe that City Manager Daniel E. Morgan will retain Dudley Blossom in his cabin in any capacity, director of welfare or director of anything else. The following is a copy of a letter sent, Wednesday afternoon, to City Manager Morgan: Cleveland, Oct. 20, 1970. My Dear Mr. Morgan: It may be that you have quite forgotten me, but will recall the writer when reminded of the assistance rendered you when a candidate for the council in our ward, many years ago. I am writing you at this time for the purpose of entering a vigorous protest against the reappointment of Dudley Blossom as director of welfare in your cabinet. Last year and the year previous, he so frequently and so grossly insulted members of my race who called upon him in con- 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- with any will immediately estab- lish its rank as one of the NEWSI-EST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Also I wish to say to you that Councilmen Payne, Bundy, Bronstrup and Finkle were elected in the Third District upon the platform of ousting both Hopkins as city manager and Dudley Blossom as welfare director. With no desire to dictate, but only to state the real truth of the situation as far as my people of this community and Dudley Blossom are concerned, and with sincerest best wishes for your official success, I am Editor The Gazette. P. S.—Councilman Clayborne C. George of the Fourth District was re-elected on the platform of ousting, Hopkins and Blossom. MAJOR RUDD DEAD. CURRY FORCED OUT! Rudd a Spanish-American War Veteran—Curry Was With the Kluxes in the Fulton School Fight. Springfield, O.—Taps were sounded for Maj. Robert R. Rudd, age 69, a Spanish-American war veteran, as his body was deposited in Soldiers' Mound, Ferncliffe cemetery, Jan. 23. After a long illness, the major died at his sister, Mrs. Mary I. Dent's, wives were held at St. Raphael Catholic church in St. Raphael instrumental, years ago, in tearing down the ban on our men in the Ohio national guard. He was brot here a small boy by his parents when they moved from Bloomfield, Ky., his birthplace, in 1865. Years later, he enlisted in the national guard and rose to captain of Co. A. Ninth battalion, in 1899. When the war with Spain was declared, Gov. Nicholas of Bloomfield him the post of mayor of a barrack in Ninth clinced. However, he was accorded this rank on merit. Major Rudd served two years in the Philippines, afterwards as an officer in the constabulary there. Returning, he became a charter member of Axline camp, S. W. V., which he represented several times at state and national encampments. The deceased P. Piqua, a brother of John Rudd, of Piqua, three times, and Ella C. Dennis, Mrs. Susie J.

Curry, pastor of Second Baptist Church for nearly eleven years, has at last resigned, and his resignation has been accepted. This culminates seven years of dissension and strife in a church which began during the Fulton "jim-crow" school fight. At that time Curry lined up with the Klu Klux Lan element of this community and city officials of the same kidney who were leading the fight to segregate our public school pupils. At that time many of the members left the church after a determined effort to oust him had failed. However, the defection continued to grow until there were only a handful in regular attendance. The church finances behind, and some members who remained refused to contribute. In the end, the church allowed lowing dwindled until his resignation was forced. He says he will continue to reside here, holding his membership in the church and continue his work as an assistant in the Probation and Parole "jim-crow" State Department, at Columbus.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1930 Alabama, one of the three most backward states in the South, recently covered itself with southern "glory", for the third time in its history, by lynching a woman of the race. This, and the recent Georgia burning at the stake of a man of the race, happened in the "new South", if you please. --- We salute "Picky" and "Sweetback", pals of our long-time friend, the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, for many months critically ill in a hospital in New York City. All his life he has worked for the downtrodden of both races, particularly ours, and we have missed his invaluable assistance during his long illness. Yes, all his life Joseph C. Manning has been "doing things for others". We are of those who have appreciated his efforts in behalf of the race for more than thirty years. Carry on, "Picky" and "Sweetback!" --- President Hoover announces that he will appoint a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and that the U. S. marines that caused about all the trouble in that little republic since 1915 are to be kept there until "a stable and orderly government has been established". Something the American occupation with the assistance of the marines will see does not obtain. All the trouble the Haitians have had, since this country's illegal occupation of it, can be traced directly to misconduct upon the part of both the occupation authorities and the marines.. Get out of Haiti! HUNTER, FREMONT, LINCOLN. The excerpt from a speech on the immortal Abraham Lincoln delivered by the Hon. Fredrick Douglass, on April 14, 1876, published elsewhere "in this paper, ought to be carefully and thoufthely by everybody. It is "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". If memory serves us correctly, it was General Hunter in command of the Department of South Carolina who issued the first emancipation proclamation. Then came the emancipation proclamation, issued by General John C. Fremont who was in charge of the Department of the Missouri during the war of the rebellion, which was revoked by President Lincoln, and "The Pathfinder" deposed from his command. Both Generals Hunter and Fremont were prompted to issue their proclamations by a feeling entirely different from that which prompted the immortal Lincoln to issue his proclamation which went into effect on the first day of January, 1863. Therefore, our people in annually celebrating, each year, the real emancipation day, January 1, ought not at least to forget Generals Hunter and Fremont, particularly the latter who suffered so greatly because of his anti-slavery convictions. BLOSSOM'S SUCCESSOR Dudley Blossom, director of welfare, handed his resignation to City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, several weeks ago. We sincerely trust that the latter will soon be able to name Blossom's successor, because in spite of Blossom's protestations to the contrary, he is a positive menace to the citizen rights and privileges of our people in this community just so long as he remains at the head of that department. It is a positive affront to our people (to continue him in office any longer) which we know the city manager does not intend to give because Daniel E. Morgan is not and never has been that kind of a man, and we have known him for nearly a quarter of a century. So we sincerely trust that Blossom's successor will be named at an early date, even if it has to be one of the broad-minded, able and thoroly qualified leaders of the strong Women's Republican organization of the city. This potent factor of local Republicanism, as well as our people, are entitled to repre- sentation in the city manager's cabinet. Let us have action, Mr. Morgan, just as soon as possible. GIFT OF $200,000 UPHELD BY COURT. Chicago, Ill.—Gifts of approximately $200,000 to Mrs. Ela M. King, age 51. from the late Charles H. Hulisfer (white). Board of Trade member, were upheld by Superior Court Judge Robert E. Gentzel, Saturday, in an opinion which revealed for the first time that Mrs. King is an Afro-American. The gifts had contended for by Mrs. Alice P. Crockett, 65, a grandmother of Pulsifer, who alleged that gifts were obtained by Mrs. King while Pulsifer, was under her influence and in a weakened mental condition. Judge Gentzel's opinion relates that in 1893 Mrs. King, then known as Ella Jamieson, came to Chicago from Nashville and met Pulsifer, then 55. Claimed Paternity of Child. Thomas King (white), who had known Ella in Nashville, met Pulsifer, and was induced to live with the girl and claim paternity of a child in 1901. Judge Gentzel said. He was invited to marry the Jamieson girl but a mother refused, the account continued, and Mrs. King obtained a divorce from King—whom she had never married—on grounds of desertion. Mrs. King testified at the recent trial that she obtained the divorce at Pulsifer's suggestion, so King might not claim any money he might give her. She kept her race secret for 30 years, she said, to protect the happiness of her daughter, who is married to a wife man and who has two children. The daughter was bequeathed $10,000. Pulsifer will During the recent suit over the gifts the daughter's husband was kept from the court room and evidence on the race subject given cautiously. The couple lives in a fashionable North Shore suburb. OUR VETERANS Led by Boydston Post to Celebrate Home-Coming With a Grand Ball. Feb. 22 will find Lemuel T.

BANQUET AND MASS MEETING The Guests of Honor to Be Our Three Ex-Congressmen Still Living—History Week. Washington, D.

Drawn by the Metropolitan Company's, Cleveland, Office. The Gazette of can. 11, 1930, contained the following local item: The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.'s local agency office in the Columbia building was on Monday paying dividends to white and colored policy-holders who were lined up in separate lines in its office, it is said. If the foregoing is true, this ought to be reported promptly to the company's headquarters in N. Y. City, by the president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch.

Dear Sir: I just wanted to make a little statement as to the methods employed in the case of the Afro- ropolitan Life Insurance Co.'s local offices.

THE GAZETTE, CLERVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1930 "PICKY" AND "SWEETBACK" | Pals of the Hon. Joseph C. Manning —Critically Acclaimed Lived For Others New York City, Feb. 1, '30. About five weeks ago I was called upon to administer as a nurse to Joseph C. Manning. I came to his bedside when many felt he would live but a few days. He has been a very sick man, but a brave sufferer. What I am to write, however has to do with two close pals of Mr. Manning. M. It seems to me that the reading public ought to be permitted to know about "Picky", an eight-year-old female cat that has been Mr. Manning's daily pal all these years "Picky" takes her position on Mr. Manning's bed and watches him closely when it appears to everyone that his life is hanging in the balance. His other pal is a Mexican sheep-dog, and this dog "Sweet-back", is as insistent on standing guard over his master as is "Picky". Should both animal pals be in an environment and Mr. Manning cough violently when an exclamation of pain, these pals of his bed hurry to their position on his bed, there remain until he is resting. One who has observed their loyalty to Mr. Manning and his love for them can account for a great human heart willing to live and ready to die for human justice and the cause of the oppressed. Among the messages coming to Mr. Manning in his present precarious illness is a letter from Congressman Lafayette L. Petterson of Alabama and the closing sentence of Alabama that the entire life doing things for others" been my privilege to look over Mr. Manning's mail, and I am his secretary as well as having him in my care. The expressions in messages and letters from foremost people, all over this country, pay the same tribute to Mr. Manning who has so remarkably won the love of "Picky" and "Sweetbaby." Edna M. DePass, 516 Manhattan Ave. Al Brown Is Victor. Havana, Cuba.--Al Brown, recognized as bantamweight champion by the National Boxing association, outpointed Pinky Silverberg of New York in a 10-round bout here, Jan. 25th. The Central Ave. street-cars run every ten minutes during the day until 6 P. M. After that, every twelve minutes until midnight. For about an hour, between 4:30 and 5:30, cars are run every six or eight minutes. This is miserable service, especially for a line that runs thru the heart of the city, and that the Cleveland Railway Company said, year before last, was the second best paying line in the city. Since then, it looks very much as if the company has been endeavoring to drive the Central Ave. street-car line patrons over to the Cedar and Scovill Ave. lines by giving such miserable service. Then, too, it is currently rumored that the cars are to be taken off Central Ave. and an automobile thorafore made of that street just as soon as the Lorain-Central bridge is finished. The business men of the avenue ought to organize immediately and "get busy", unless they are willing to be put out of business in a few years. In the meantime, our councilmen, Payne, Bundy and George, should see to it that their constituents, who use the Central Ave. street-car line are treated better. There should, at least, be a six minute line during the day like the Scovill and Cedar Ave. lines. There is no reason why our people should be so discriminated against, as indicated in the foregoing. "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." —H. G. Wells. GEE, I'M TIRED TONIGHT, IVE BEEN HANGIN' AROUND THE HOUSE ALL DAY YOU SHOULD OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN TIRED FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS THEN CORA MERITED PRAISE Of Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney Splendid Work, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens"—Out of the Ordway. "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 book that will inform and the achievements of "Cincinnati'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 straysy and are cold, formal, historical historical volume 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, historical and otherwise, of the development of the Colored wing of Cincinnati from "prchistoric-times" to date. The advancement of the Cincinnati Negro, as described by Dabney, is indeed amazing; and it is only upon coming face to face with the Negro 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 a chance, given half a chance, he has made a chance, given half a chance, he has 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 Dahney, 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.

Solid Everywhere Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It Pretty Things that are made at Home Underwood & Underwood WHAT with movies, bridge parties and a thousand-and-one other allurements "long winter evenings" have almost become a tradition of the past. Assuming, however, that time does hang heavy on yet a few of the female clan, we submit suggestions of decorative things for the home, which, to make, provide fascinating pastime for leisure hours. One of the most popular artcrafts of the moment is illuminating or hand-painting on glass. The very attractive silhouette panel at the top of this illustration is an "illuminated glass picture." Seen in the original it is very colorful. The work involves several very interesting processes which can merely be suggested in this brief space. However, the materials and instructions are easily available in departments where art materials are sold or wherever fancy crepe papers, sealing wax and such are sold for flower making and other ornamental knuck-knacks. The various steps include the cutting out of figures from decorated crepe tissue paper, also painting these in with opaque paint (dissolved sealing wax) on the reverse side of the glass. To give color to the scene the foliage and ornamental details also sky effects are painted in with transparent effects. The final touch is achieved with INTRIGUING FROCK OFTEN CONTRAST Underwood & Underwood CONTRASTING materials for little girls' frocks is a call of the advance mode. A popular idea is to button or sew a skirt of one color to a blouse top of a different color and often a different material. The dress in the picture carries out the idea very cleverly. It is a French model, for which the designer chooses a cherry red wool for the skirt, the upper portion of the frock being made of eggshell colored silk which is dotted with red. In this instance the skirt is buttoned onto the blouse, the usual straight around effect being varied with a clever point at the front waist-line. A favorite style for younger girls is the button-on skirt with a contrasting tailored blouse. The skirts can be made of most any material such as challis, poplin, broadcloth or lightweight tweed, all of which are suitable for spring. The blouses are usually of fallle, satin or silk crepe, these being simply trimmed with ruffles of self fabric at the collar and cuffs and down the front closing. This idea of using two materials for the making of a frock should be kept in mind by mothers who are entering in upon a prespring sewing campaign. For this styling remnants can be used Don't T But Give it very thin silver, gold or bronze paper worked in so as to illuminate the entire in a brilliant way. As valentine gifts small pictures worked in this way would be most unique and highly prized by those so fortunate as to receive them. Sprays of flowers, made to look like thinnest glass through painting cellophane paper foundations with transparent dissolved sealing wax, give an exquisite touch of color to any room. The structure of the flowers begins with forming the petal—shaped of wire. These are then covered with cellophane paper to simulate glass or with crepe tissue in desired colors for opaque majolica effects. In either event as a final touch the flowers are painted with transparent sealing wax paint. A has relief of sealing-wax painted flowers or other motifs transforms the simplest parchment lamp shade into a "thing of beauty" from the standpoint of the interior decorator. Sealing wax, molding clay and pictured crepe paper are essentials for this fascinating work. The idea is to cut the flower or figures out of the fancy crepe paper. Pictures can also be used from magazines and the like. The motifs are then pasted smoothly on the parchment shade. To gain the "relief" effect, the designs are then built up with molding clay. After all is thoroughly dry, paint with melted sealing wax. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1930, Western Newpaper Union.) S FOR GIRLS BLOUSE AND SKIRT to advantage. So often lengths of goods are left over from the makings of grownups' frocks, which are not quite enough to make little daughter of the household an entire garment. It needs but a little contrasting material added to develop one piece frocks which have cunning blouse tops like the one pictured. An excellent feature about the button-on types is that one can with different blouses change the entire appearance of the frock. Then, too, later on lingerie blouses can be substituted for those of lightweight woolen. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

CARING FOR AUTO IN WINTER SEASON CARING FOR AUTO IN WINTER SEASON Suggestions for Starting Car in Extremely Cold Weather. During the recent subzero blast which swept over the greater part of the country, many thousands of automobiles could not be started after being parked in the open. The mechanical first aid department of the Chicago Motor club offers the following aids to starting in frigid temperatures. Use Lightest Lubricants. 1. Ask the agency of your car or a reliable filling station the lightest lubricants, compatible with safe lubrication, in the crank case and gear box. 2. Before stepping on the starter see to it that the gear shift lever is in neutral and depress the clutch pedal. Open the hand feel throttle one-quarter of the way or more. 3. Step on the starter and use the choke sparingly. 4. If the starter cannot spin the motor, set the spark at full retard and pull sharply upward with the crank. This quick motion will frequently start motors when the starter falls. Parking for Long Period. 5. When it is expected that the car will remain parked in the open for a long period, it is wise, when shutting the motor off, to speed it slightly and then shut off the ignition and choke it at the same time. This procedure causes a gasoline vapor to be present in the cylinders when the motor is next started. This practice should be used infrequently, however, as the gasoline drawn into the cylinders tends to seep past the pistons into the crank case, where it dilutes the oil. The oil should be changed frequently if this trick is resorted to repeatedly. 6. The ignition system and carburetor adjustment must be correct in order to enjoy easy starting. Bad Brakes Responsible For Serious Accidents Faulty brakes are responsible for more than one-third of the serious automobile accidents in the United States attributed to defective equipment, according to a survey made public here by the American Research foundation. "Analysis of accident records in 13 large cities and 5 states," says the survey, "disclosed that of 4,890 motor vehicles involved in accidents in which defective equipment was reported, 39 per cent had defective brakes. For all localities investigated, improper lights account for 34 per cent of the defects reported, deficient steering mechanism for 15 per cent, and other defects for 11 per cent. "With faulty brakes classed as the commonest type of defective automobile equipment, the necessity of care in correcting variations and testing brakes at frequent intervals if automobile accident totals are to be reduced. With the speed of modern driving and the necessity for quick stops in traffic, reliable brakes spell the difference between safety and disaster." AUTOMOBILE NOTES The life of a car can be greatly lengthened by keeping it tightened. Be considerate at all times. Other users of the road have equal rights. Rusty rims should be cleaned with a wire brush and then painted with red lead. The first tourist camp for motorists in Norway is to be established on the main highway into Trondhjem. Stop—when in doubt—at railroad crossings, behind street cars taking on or discharging passengers. Better to cause a delay than an accident. The battery should be kept at its maximum charge at all times, and never permitted to stand in a discharged state. THE MOTOR QUIZ How Many Can You Answer? Q. Under what conditions is horn blowing useless and when should liberal use of the horn be made? Ans. Horn blowing is useless in traffic jams because it not only fails to clear the jam but causes confusion and many angles others concerned. The proper place to make liberal use of the horn is when passing other cars, driving on curves, mountain roads and blind intersections on country roads. Q. What three bad practices shorten the life of tires? Ans. Turning corners at high speed, thereby shifting the weight of the car to one side; sudden stepping on the accelerator, causing the wheels to spin; rushing up to corners and slamming on the brakes. Q. If spark plugs are missing what particular trouble would be likely to develop? Ans. Owing to incomplete combustion gasoline may go by the pistons and rings and into the crankcase, with consequent oil dilution, causing excessive wear to moving parts, bearings, cylinder walls, and pistons. It is also accompanied by loss of power on hard pulls, hard starting, slow pick-up, and generally speaking it produces a sluggish engine. Q. What was the increase of gasoline consumption and exports for the first seven months of 1929 as compared with the same period for 1928? Ans. Consumption increased 14.6 per cent and exports 13 per cent. Powder Coated Rag Will Prevent Short Circuit A short in the high tension wires leading to the spark plugs, caused by moisture, usually occurs where the wires are clustered together. When this happens, dry the wires, one at a time, with a cloth on which is placed a generous amount of either soapstone powder or face powder, preferably soapstone. In drying the wires entering the distributor cap be careful not to remove more than one SOAP-STONE OR FACE POWDER USED ON RAG WIRES DISTRIBUTOR HEAD RAG Drying High Tension Wires With Powder-Coated Rag Avoids Short Circuits From Moisture. wire at a time unless it is well understood how to replace them. Keeping the wires and the outside of the distributor cap exceptionally clean and using soapstone in the manner described will result in keeping the rubber insulation in good condition and no trouble will be experienced from rain. Of course, this sug gestion applies only to ordinary rubber-covered high tension wire. Special high tension wire covered with varnished fabric should not be treated in this way. Such wire should be wiped with a clean dry cloth only.—Popular Science Monthly. Commandments Made for Those Who Drive Cars Just what motorists should do to promote safe driving has been given by the Automobile Club of Southern California in a list of "Ten Commandments." They are: Keep your car in sound condition; keep your car under control; keep your eyes on the road; never fight for the right of way; go along with the process; be courteous; know your local traffic rules; take pride in your driving skill; don't mix liquor, worry or anger with gasoline; study local maps and experiment for shorter and less congested routes. EDITOR'S BIRTHDAY. "Justice and Fair Play"! Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 25, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Smith;--I wish to congratulate you on your youthful birthday, Jan. 28. Men of your type deserve to live long because of the service they render. I ask for you long years for continued service with the best of health. The victory achieved in Cleveland by reason of your untiring zeal and bodies for justice and fair play is reassuring. We have the ultimate triumph of right. The day of shunting the colored citizen aside, denying him what others enjoy, has passed. Those deluded mortals who believe that the pigment of the skin determines superiority and inferiority of races must soon become extinct. The colored man must have every right and privilege any other man enjoys. Keep up the good fight! Fraternally yours, (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. From a Long-Time Friend. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Old Friend:—I am just in receipt of the copy of The Gazette that announces the fact that you are to have a recurrence of your natal day. Such occurrences to you and me are becoming priceless as they mean "a considerable span of yours". We are not "old" however—at least you are not, as your pen and mind and nerve seem as facile, etc., as of yore. I wish you many returns of the day and that you may visit the State-House soon. I am your friend, Bart J. Guyder, Messenger to the Governor. Cleveland City Hospital Victory. Springfield, O., Jan. 26, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Dear Sir;—I see by The Gazette of Jan. 18, '30, that The City Hospital is now open also to our girls and internes to train. It is certainly a great victory you have won in your "city hospital" fight, and it was eminently fitting and proper that you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette should be honored as you are. Also I wish to congratulate you on the return of your birthday which I see is the 28th. The felicitation is not so much on the completion of another year, as it is that the recurring years have not weakened the spirit or dimmed the fires of enthusiasm that have made The Gazette a power for the advancement of our people of Cleveland and the state. Yours truly, Charles W. Greene. From a White Friend. Elmira, N. Y., Jan. 27, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Elmira, N. Y., Jan. 27, '30. Friend Smith:—Received my Gazette, this week, and enjoyed it much. That I must have read it thoroughly is evidenced that in a line in one article I noticed that tomorrow is your birthday. And on that birthday, I want to send my best wishes and congratulations to one of the finest friends I have ever known. Once in a while, when it is as asleep as you are, this world who seek material things, I think of you and how self-sacrificing and unselfish your life has been, in seeking not for yourself but only for those things which in your heart you felt were right and just. And I believe that you must feel that in such a life it has been worthwhile to have lived. Many more happy birthdays. Madison, N. J., Jan. 25, '30. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dale Howe, know how to address you properly. The above common-place phrase in no way expresses the sentiment of my heart; nor even gives a hint of the depth of sincerity in the esteem and appreciation of your personality. Your always welcome and very comforting epistle of the 23rd inst., to hand, and I thought maybe, if you were to give him a love letter for a birthday present, and I dare him to send it back unopened or unread! I note your political triumph is somewhat marred by the death of a colleague, George A. Myers, which reminds me, his father, Isaac Myers, supt. S. S. Big Bethel A. M.

I used to distribute his paper and introduced it to the colored readers in Madison, N. J., 1889-92. It was queer—almost all of the colored residents here took a white man's paper—daily, weekly, semi-monthly, but kicked on their own. You know the record of "The Old Reliable" Gazette when it had it sent to the colored M.C. B. I had hoped, if nothing else, I could scare up some worthwhile items for you, but have nothing but my honest, earnest prayers for your continued health and prosperity!!!

Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. 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. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to use coronal power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a manifold injury one thousand dollars; or if such manifold disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars 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. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum is ered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action and may impose injury or killed by such person (93 v. 162.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to indict the person for action in the next succeeding tax session, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. In addition, 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 into the county, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory, negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows; OBS. ed. I represente of victim of lynching.ry by mob trying to lynch another. I costs in tax levy. I must member of mob I must another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for such lynching or for engaging therein. (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. Smitha Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race the accommodation full enjoyment of the accommodation advantages, facilities or privileges be defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court. The trouble is our people will but use it as often as they should, but we 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. Lancaster, Pliqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, 226 West. Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us 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 or least 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's, is all wrong. The sooner we give 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.
