THE ATTUCKS MONUMENT PAYS TRIBUTE TO CRISPUS ATTUCKS Boston's Chief Executive Places Wreath on Monument in Boston Commons—U. S. Scores—Deprecates "Jim-Crowing" Our Gold Star Mothers. Boston, Mass., Mayor James M. Curley, in an address delivered, recently, at the Crispus Attacks monument on Boston Commons, at exercises held in commemoration of the anniversary of the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, and the death of our Crispus Attacks, severely criticised those responsible for the plan to send our Gold Star mothers to France, this year, on a ship by themselves, than the ships bearing the other Gold Star mothers. The Mayor said: "It is a pleasure in behalf of the city to lay a wreath here symbolic of the love and devotion of men of a race who helped make possible, by a baptism of blood, organized revolt and laid the foundation which gave the world in a later day what we now know as the United States of America.

Absolute Equality. "Absolute equality should be the recognized order and rule in the life of America," wish for America a broader, more liberal and humane spirit and temper than has been displayed in recent years." Characterizing Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, and Prof. David S. Muzzy as "quick-lunch historians who have tried to besmirch the names of those whom we honor as heroes", was made by Wm. H. O'Brien, head of the telephone division of the public service commis- He further said that, "despite their hellishness in characterizing Washington as a man disgruntled because of his failure to acquire preference from the British government and John Hancock as a crook, such men as Attucks will be remembered long after such historians are mouldering in the dust and are forgotten." Breath was placed at the scene of the massacre by Mrs. Martha C Kenswild. During the final exercises, at the Attucks monument, in addition to the state and city wreathes a wreath was placed by Mrs. Ethe Gibson Russell.

(Crusader News Service) Port-au-Prince, Haiti—The first contacts with conditions here come by way of the long quay swarming with men of all ages, ragged, half-starved, many decrepit and ancient. All jostling each other for the job of unloading, with its miserable starvation wages as they wait until entitley for the ridiculous罚物 of "tn gods" are the American marines, most of them recruited from the South. They provokingly wear their guns and bayonets. In the harbor is the S. S. Rochester which brought the commission, with which Hoover seeks to allay the burning unrest against American imperialism. First appearances do not show any of the "improvements" so much talked about by the apologists for imperialist oppression. Only the marines are everywhere. And the natives would hardly accept them as an "improvement." They act as if the own the place. They please; they ride around in cars and hog the right of way, refusing to permit other cars to pass. Those on foot take up as much of the road as they possibly can, jostling the people and trying to establish in Haiti the rule of the South, and South Africa, of forcing "Negroes" to keep off the sidewalks. The populace hate them like poison. So intense is the anger of the Haitian masses against President Borno that the traitor is forced to keep his residence under heavy guard. The guard is furnished by the marines, and the native government commanded by marine officers. Back of Borno's residence is the marine headquarters. The Americans are lodged in imposing buildings, with spacious grounds and a theatre, while the native gendarme are housed in a little barracks across the street, and crowded in like cattle. Two Boys Saved From Death. Little Rock, Ark.—The two lads, Robert Bell and Grady Swain, once sentenced to death for the alleged murder of a white boy, on third trial have been sentenced to ten years in prison. Had a white attorney not intervened in the case, and the N. A. attorney, who was charged that the two lads would have been executed charged with a murder of which they were innocent. He Returned the Chickens Paris, Ky.—A life sentence in the penitentiary imposed, March 11, by a jury in Bourbon circuit court on Jim Ashbury, for stealing five chickens, has been set as aside as excessive by Judge Ben G.

Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir: I read every line of each issue of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. They are food for thought. I glory in your ability and stand on race problems. I note that you say you are not a "round robbin'." I appoint of Norman S. Minor, is so much better than the nothing of Manager Morgan and Blossom. Yes, little better than nothing. But you must remember Miller wants Republican "Negroes" to vote, this fall, to put him back in office. But I am against him and I shall take that. I am against him and I the voters can against him for past tricks played on the race. I have not forgotten Mr. Miller. Let him run! Why did he wait until now to appoint Minor? We know Walter L. Brown has always took the stand he maintains and is not "a round robbin'." Morgan and Blossom think they are in for years, but are only fooling them. Mrs. Boston J. Prince, President. Equal Justice Club Realtors "Talk About" Doctors. Realtors "Talk About" Doctors. Last week Thursday, after several preliminary meetings, filled with the ever-growing spirit of co-operation and getting together, the licensed realtors of our group in a meeting at 4713 Central Ave., formed the Real Estate Association of Cleveland. The group, of the group, render honest, loyal and efficient service to our people. A strong point, brought out in their meeting, was that about ten years ago large numbers of our professional men, particularly doctors, landed here from "down home" and put on a strong campaign to induce our people to patronize them, yet these professional men habitually refuse to patronize our own business people. The names of four medicos" were presented to our people, then brokers of the other group. Officers and members of the association are: J. C. Hudson, pres.; H. S. Taylor, vice-pres.; Linwood Hogan, sec.; Robt. H. Riffe, treas., and Allen H. Dorsey, E. J. Branham, C. C. Robinson, Mrs. A. D. Boyd, A. Cooper, J. Mangum. MORE "SOCIAL EQUALITY". South Bend, Ind. — When Lee Bambinski, (white), arrived home, recently, he found his wife, Clementina, age 26, and her "Afro" sweetheart, Dr. J. L. Curtis, age 47, in bed together. Dr. Killed Curtis first and then his wife, shooting them to death in the presence of his three children. Curtis had been the family physician until about three years ago. Montgomery, Ala. — Mrs. Emma Knight (white), who consented to her husband's selling their property "in order to go into business", woke up, last week, to find that he had eloped with his colored sweetheart, Miss Mary Harris. THE "OLD-TIME" RELIGION Preferred by the Hon. Joseph C. Manning—Merited Praise of Editor W. P. Dabney. How the colored man partakes of religion, becomes so enthused over it and absorbed in it, that he communes with Jehovah and walks the streets of the New Jerusalem when he is worshipping in church, enjoying heaven while yet alive and not having to die to do so, is wonderfully portrayed in just a paragraph in The Cincinnati Union by the most brilliant columnist in this country. W. P. Dabney is the writer whose brilliance makes that section of The Union scintillate and sparkle with gems of thought. Mr. Dabney has expressed for me, and I thank him, why I like to go to worship in colored churches. I can, elbow to elbow, heart to heart, with that colored worshipper whom he describes, and I can almost touch the glorious gurulent, as the preacher tells of some people of Jesus Christ. Yes, and I have seen this wonderfully spiritual people, as they seemed to me, just as Mr. Dabney says, to be in the realm of that glory land and sharing, the yet alive, all of its heavenly bliss. Who of us or amongst us can offer better than this old-time religion for the inner joy of mankind? Who can the desire of the spirit longing of the spirit within with else than that emotion of the soul so beautifully told by Mr. Dabney? White civilization, gone over to cool and materialistic life, is not the gainer thereby. The turning of the human life into frigidity and making cold the spirit of man, until he becomes a soul irresponsive to emotion, this may be culture and the creature of our existing white progress, but, for me, I'd prefer the religion described by Mr. Dabney.

Atlanta, Ga. - For several weeks past the High Museum of Atlanta's public art gallery, has had an exhibit, "The Road to Emmaus," the famous picture by Henry O. Tanner of Philadelphia, Afro-American artist, a resident of Paris for more than a quarter of a century. The picture is from the private collection Henry, the local art patron and commissioner, and features an address, delivered by him, at the museum, on "A Century of American Art." The Atlanta Constitution, in a story about the painting, says of the artist: "His works on religious subjects have won signal honors in the field of art, and he is a leading painter of such subjects, having received honors equal to those of the ranking artists of today."

FOR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES—WILL NOT CRINGE AND TRUCKLE BEFORE ANY POWER. Teaching the Afro-American a Much-Needed Lesson His Inferiority Complex—The "Blossom Triplets" Given a Body-Blow! The Haitian people are fighting a good battle. Their stand for the return of self-government, justice and fair play shows them courageous as well as intelligent. Our entire American attitude toward other groups is under review in Haiti. The American attitude of race-smobbishness is not one of the reasons with which not one of truckling and a desire to associate with "white folks" but one of contempt for a people of arrogance. The serious phase of the affair, is the Haitians are ready to fight and die for their rights and privileges. Any race that is afraid of dying will accept anything, but a race that finds the highest ideals in life by sacrificing life to gain absoluteness. The truckle before any power U. S. High Commissioner Russell is pictured as a tyrant, race hater and usurper. This revolt of Haiti against the American attitude is illuminating, at this time when the powers of the world are seeking Naval reduction. The question of tramount interest is do we need it, be just and fair toward weaker peoples? Is it their purpose to bind the five great powers together so that they will not oppose each other but leave the way open for either of them to attack us, with dependencies, especially those of darker races, the world over? Haliit gives the Afro-American a much-needed lesson in courage and manhood. No other race of twelve or fifteen millions would be satisfied with the rank discrimination, oppression, denial of rights and unjust treatment that Afro-Americans receive. Slaveyism has left an inferior complex in the Afro-American's life. Almost any one of them can be bought off and induced to forsake a principle, however fundamental to life, if some white man of power approaches him. The Afro-American sees his liberties, life, privileges, rights and person ignored and abused but he is too slavishly inert to resent and demand what is his. He must fit to shape or help set the standard of human rights and inter-racial justice. It is the policy of the American white man to advance only the "Negro" who in a great measure approves of "white supremacy" and "Negro" inferiority. The "Negro" that receives a job can be depended upon to protect that job by doing what his white boss wants, whether right or wrong. What we have said is the general impression of foreigners so far as the "Negro" is concerned. We do not advocate bully- COMMUNITY CENTER LECTURE. The branch library at Quincy Ave. and E. 79th St. invites you to a talk given by Miss Grace Meyette on African Backgrounds, this week Friday evening at 8 o'clock. Miss Meyette visits some villages into which no white person had previously penetrated. Her story is a fascinating one. This is the last of a series of Community Center lectures sponsored by the committee on work with our people. The chief aim of the committee is to promote a keener interest in the opportunities offered by the library. The committee represents all the branch libraries working in neighborhoods where there are books including Quincy, Woodland, Sterling, and Friendly Inn. All of these branches have book-collections of special interest to our people, as well as book-lists with reviews of all the outstanding books written by or about Afro-Americans. Three interesting books recently added are: PATHFINDERS, by A. B. Thoms, a history of our nurses with inter- esting biographical sketches and illustrations BLACK BADWAYS, by M. W. Beckwith, an illustrated study of Jamaican folk-life. JOHN HENRY, by G. B. Johnson, a valuable piece of work tracing the origin of this famous race legend.

It is evident to those who are reading the Haitian news that the United States should forthwith come A. E. H. out of Haiti. Unfortunately for America, it seems to have taken into Haiti the same prejudice-treatment and attitude toward colored people practiced here. That will not do in Haiti and neither should it do in the United States of America. If the colored men and women of this country would stand unitedly for their rights everywhere, conditions would change. What is needed in Haiti is an inter-racial attitude that will allow access to be just and fair toward each other, so there should not be in this country any privilege granted one race that is denied another. It is our honest opinion that the reason why our country cannot enforce any law, prohibition or what not, is due to the fact that this country has permitted the South to do "Negroes" there just as the marines are reported to have done to the native in Haiti. The rush of northern men to South in winter is adding to this acquiescence. Southern states definitely deprive the "Negro" of Constitutional liberty but these same southern states are whining like pups about the enforcing of prohibition. When this country enforces the law that protects the life and liberty of black folk it will be in position to enforce any other law. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. CHARGED DISCORNIMATION Then Proceded to "Clean Out" the Place — Chapin's Restaurant "Out of Luck." The Communist outbreak in Chapin's restaurant, 220 Superior Ave. N. W., near The Gazette office, on Tuesday, was the result of the experience several of them claim to have had in the place the day before. Monday, it seems that they felt that member of our race in their party in the city had been discriminated against. On Tuesday sixteen young Communists went back to the restaurant and all but wrecked the place. Sugar bowls, silverware and dishes decorated the floor, and swivel seats were torn from their moorings before a police squad could respond to a riot call. A restaurant employee received slight injuries. Nine of the Communists, three of the staff, were taken to Central police station charged with disorderly conduct. Following the disturbance, Tuesday, police raided the headquarters of the Trade Union Unity League and the International Labor Defense, 226 Superior Ave., N. W., where some of the Communists had gone when face appeared. Banners bearing the message "Chief Justice—free our comrades," with which the Communists had picketed the restaurant, were confiscated.

SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1930. Leo Bambinsky of South Bend, Ind., did a good job. Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons of Chicago, is a candidate for Congress in the district now represented by the Hon. Oscar DePriest; primary, April 8. Roscoe only thinks he is a candidate, they say. --- Leo M. Favrot, whom Dr. R. R. Moton has named as a member of his Haitian Educational commission, which President Herbert Hoover is responsible for, and the only white member of it, is field secretary of the General Education Board of New York City. The three other members of the commission are Afro-Americans. President Hoover asked Dr. Moton to take "a group of colored educators to look over the Haitian schools." Wonder how the President feels about Dr. Moton's selection of Prof. Favrot? THAT SUPERINTENDENCY! A meeting of our employees at the city garbage plant was held, Saturday, at which a proposal to bring about the removal of Abe Crutch as superintendent and the appointment of a member of the race in his place was discussed. Charges against Crutch may be drawn up and presented to Service Director Rees H. Davis, it is said. All of which is entirely unnecessary because Supt. Crutch will be automatically removed when his successor is appointed, and this last will not take place until "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George) withdraw their endorsement of the candidacy of Ormond Forte who will not be appointed Crutch's successor; and said "Triplets" get behind some deserving and capable member of the race for the position. But if they continue the present condition much longer, Crutch's successor will be someone other than a member of the race, and they will be responsible for this miscarriage, too. Crutch is slated to go, indeed would have been replaced, several weeks ago, but for the woeful lack of a little good judgment not as yet displayed by "The Blossom Triplets." WM. HOWARD TAFT There was nothing in the entire career of that distinguished Ohioan, recently deceased Secretary-of-War, President and Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court Wm. Howard Taft, for our people to enthuse over. Therefore, we that the least said, the better, as far as "The Old Reliable" Gazette was concerned. We have not forgotten "The Black Battalion", the martyred victims of President Theodore Roosevelt and his Secretary of War, Wm. Howard Taft. Not have we forgotten the fact that President Taft loaded down the U. S. Supreme Court with ex-rebels, southerners who either participated in or sympathized with the wrong side of the war of the rebellion. President Taft's appointment of the late J. C. Napier of Nashville as register of the U. S. treasury to succeed Bishop W. T. Vernon, and his appointment of Wm. H. Lewis of Boston as assistant U. S. attorney-general, did not and do not begin to make amends. Thruout his career, he sided with the prejudiced South as against our people. TO TAKE OFF CENTRAL CARS. Two years ago when the Cleveland Railway Company issued its annual report, the Central Ave. street-car line was announced as the second-best paying line in the city. Since then, particularly in the last year, the service has been so bad that it has driven the writer, and hundreds of others living nearer to Central Ave. than either Scovill or Cedar Ave., to use the Scovill and Cedar Ave. cars. Some months ago, the writer called attention to the fact that the patronage of the Central Ave. street-car line was being driven from it with a view solely to abolishing street-car service in that street when the Lorain-Central bridge is completed, or possibly before that time. Now comes Street Railway Commissioner C. M. Ballou with the statement that the Central Ave. street-car line will be eliminated because of poor patronage for which the miserably poor service on the line is alone responsible. He does not, however, say anything about the discontinuance of bus-line service where it does not pay, or because of its "lack of patronage." Proper service, for which the writer has contended constantly for more than a year, will restore the Central Ave. street-car line to the second-best paying line in the city. The statement of a local daily newspaper to the effect that "Central Ave. has always been a losing line because it is closely flanked by Cedar Ave. cars on the north and Scovill-Quincy cars on the south" is not true! "UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER." Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly of Atlanta, Ga., recently severely criticised vice and other evils, particularly speak-easies, among our people of his city, with the result that about all of our other ministers of that large section of the "Empire City" banded themselves together and issued a statement, severely criticizing him, which the Brooklyn daily newspapers featured. Another indication of the power of vice in a large American city! Wonder how many of those Brooklyn ministers of color have a special reason for joining in the attack upon Dr. Proctor? 'Twas ever thus! Lord have mercy! Dr. Proctor announces that he will continue his fight or vice "until hell freezes over" and that then he "would skate on the ice after evils." More power to him and his kind! O. how the race needs them! PRIME SPORT NEWS. Johnson "Out of Luck." New York City. It cost Johnson, our Chicago office $4000 for Maxie Rosebloom in Madison Square Garden, recently. The Garden is the beneficiary due to the recent ruling of the New York State Athletic Commission that fighters shall be paid only for the number of rounds they fight if the go ahead. The club will pursue reverting to the treasury of the club in which the foul was committed. Jones Whips Malone. St. Paul, Wisc.—"Gorilla" Jones of Akron, O., won the decision over Jock Malone, St. Paul middleweight in ten rounds here, Monday night. The latter, a veteran of nearly 300 ring engagements, could not match the pace of his young antagonist. Boxing skillfully, Malone evaded Jones' powerful right in the early rounds, but he held back the end and knocked out Gloss thudded against his jaw and body with increasing regularity from the fourth round to the final bell. Malone weighed 157 pounds and Jones 156. The HI-Y of Cedar Y, state champs, in charge of Capt. W. H Porter, went to Columbus, yesterday to defend their state championship title, won during the holidays.

The Junior federation basketball team, coached by Ollie Dawson of Western Reserve university, is doing excellent work.

TEACH STUDENTS OVER TELEPHONE Cleveland Schools Transmit "Three R's" By Wire An experiment in instructing students of the public schools by telephone is being carried out in Cleveland this year. Teachers involved in the plan transmit lessons to pupils all over the city by speaking into an ordinary telephone. The lessons come to students through loud speakers in the class rooms. The plan makes it possible for students to receive instruction in each subject by a highly trained and specialized teacher. In reply to the statement that this would result in the personality of the teacher being lost, Superintendent R. G. Jones, of the Clive and Public Schools, stated that in broadcasting arithmetic lessons during 1929 it was found that the teacher's personality was just as real to the students as if she were in the class room. AFTER A REST "Jones ought to be looking well after being locked up at the police station. "Why?"

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 or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be limited less than fifty dollars nor more than ten dollars or imprisoned not less than thirty dollars 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.

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 MOBS. 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 moby for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence against 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 injury as per the definition of disability 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 moby and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be arrested and provided 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 sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent 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 damage, may recover of the county 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 alike, the widow rejoices, and the child is not 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 so recover of such person so lynched, 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.

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. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person.

WINTER, as a rule, keeps you closer at home, and you see less of your friends in other towns. But that is no reason why you should hear less from them. Many people are calling their out-of-town friends by telephone just as they casually talk to those in town. Out-of-town telephone service today is much like the local service. Give "Long Distance" the out-of-town number and you are connected while you hold the line; you hear as clearly as when you talk to a neighbor. The cost is surprisingly low.

A little cap like the model pictured first in this group, made elther of black satin or taffeta, color-matched to the costume, makes an admirable “first hat.” In its back-bow treatment this mod el conveys a very important style mes- sage. Even the hats with brims dis- play thelr bow trimmings across the ‘back. The bow may be very tiny or 4 may be a huge arrangement of loops and ends extended so as to show from the front. Speaking of bows, surely this may be aptly called a “bow season.” The new frocks and blouses are animated ‘with whole flocks of bows and mi- lady's hat follows sult in this matter of bow trimmings. ‘The motif on the shapely hat to the wight at the top is in line with the season's trend which combines felt with both straw and fabric in the fashioning of the new chapeaux. The mode decrees that hats must frame the face to a flattering degree, and the long, side drape given to this hat carries out these instructions. ‘ta fishion circles we are bearing Be cents the moments res glimpse a frock of gay. printed crepe made with a cape, that it {s istinetly advance.

Frequently the skirt is plalted to match the cape. To emphasize its modishness, the really and truly _up-to-the-moment gown of piquant print worn with a matching cape, instead of going utter- ly sleeveless as one might suppose, takes upon {tself quaint little pulls or cap sleeves.

Wherefore the revival of old-time horsehair braid as a medium for chic millinery is to be expected. ‘Two fetching models of horsehair are herewith illustrated.

This is the observation of ‘T. E. “Pop” Myers, general manager of the Indianapolis Motor speedway, who has Just returned from a lengthy jaunt over the Old world gathering foreign entries for the International 500-mile race, which will be held here on May 30, Plan for 1931 Race, “In France, in England, in Germany and in Italy,” says Myers, “manufac- turers and drivers are casting their plans for competition In the Indian- apolis clussie. ‘This year we are cer- tain of the finest representation Eu- rope can muster, Dut already, while they are planning for the 1930 race, they are making more elaborate and extensive preparations for the 1931 race, “Europe took the measure of Ameri- can speeds from 1913, when Jules Goux headed a foreign contingent that kept control of American speed- ways, until 1919, when the late Howdy Wilcox started a series of Yankee victories that kept foreign competition in the background. “But just as England spent years and many thousands of dollars pre- paring for the successful shattering of the 156.01 miles an hour straight- jaway record of Tommy Milton, made in 1919, so is all Europe working to break the speed rule of America in the 500-mile race at Indianapolis, which is rightfully looked upon as the outstanding speed test for cars and drivers in the entire world. “Whereas the foreign competition in May will be confined largely to indi- vidual entries, with possibly two teams of factory cars, it 1s definitely admit- ted that England, France, Germany and Italy will have one or more teams of national cars In the 1991 contest, Importance of Preparation. “Conscious of the importance of preparation for the gruelling test of man and metal in a 500-mile race run- hing at Indianapolis, the speed car builders are content this year to per- mit individuals to carry on the task of representation. But the following year European factories will sponsor the cars which will carry their national colors in the big international race.” ‘The survey recently made by Myers in his European trip indicates that there will be more foreign ears In the coming 500-mile race than any year since 1916, He anticipates that in 1981 at least half of the cars starting the race will be of foreign make, Operating Costs Lower on Average Automobile ‘The cost of operating an average automobile has declined 8% cents a mile, or 35.7 per cent, since 1924. Greater fuel and lubrication economy, as well as longer life of present ears and improved highways, account for the reduced cost. The items involved In the cost are gasoline, oll, tires and tubes, maintenance, depreciation, Ii- cense, garage, insurance and Interest. F. A. Bower, an automotive engineer, credits three engineering contributions —oll filters, alr cleaners and crank- case ventilation—with reducing cost of operation more than a cent a mile, These devices have decreased the ne- cessity for bearing adjustments and have reduced wear on rings and pis- tons and materially lessened ofl con- sumption. May Be More Cars Than Roads Can Accommodate ‘The American automobile industry is making so many automobiles every day that if placed end to end the average day's production would stretch for 45 miles. The same people who used to worry about the automobile saturation point have figured out that this 45 miles a day is much faster than roads are being built, and they foresee the day when there will be more cars than roads.

M., that day, Payne and Bundy also in- dicating ‘that they were to hold a conference with Blossom, that after- noon. The conference with the city manager, according to Councilman George, was substantially a plea up- on the part of Mr. Morgan for ac- quiescence in tho appointment of Blossom. Following this, the city manager and Bossom began confer- ences with several other members of the race, the most notable being Rev. Horace C. Bailey, who, he says, only agreed to discontinue opposition to the appointment of Blossom. That was too much. It was to Dr. Bailey that Director Blossom was most. in- sulting on occasions when the for- mer went to the latter asking the ad- mission of his granddaughter to the City hospital nurses’ training sehool. Both Hopkins and Blossom turned him (Bailey) down flat, on more than one occasion. We well remem- ber that after one of Dr. Bailey's dis- tressing visits to Blossom, he came to The Gazette office and’ talked of his miserable experience-—insults and coarse mistreatment. The recital was enough to bring tears to one’s eyes. Tt seems strange, possibly, to some, but it is nevertheless true that no one has ever been able to mix re- ligion and politics—oil and water! So it is not strange that Rey. Hor- ace C. Bailey has failed, this time. Tt was Rev. Russell 8. Brown who made a like failure, last fall. Diree- tor Dudley S. Blossom treated Bai- ley contemptuously, last year, when the latter called on him in an effort to secure the entrance of his grand- daughter to the nurses’ training school at City Hospital, Blossom winding up the conference with that most insulting statement that is all but seared in the very marrow of the bones of our people of this commun- ity: “No, Tam not going to allow Negro girls and boys to train at City Hospital while I am director.” And yet, in recent weeks Dud. Blossom coaxed Bailey to hig office and so “soft-soaped”” him that the latter “withdrew his opposition” to the former's re-appointment as welfare director of the city of Cleveland, so he told the editor of ‘The Gazette, Monday, Feb. 17, in ‘The Gazette office. “THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS” And City Manager Daniel B.

Blossom, when on Monday, Feb. 17, "30, they “waived their opposition”, —not ours—and City Manager Dan- fel E. Morgan, knowing the condi- tion of affairs thoroly, so flagrantly insulted all of our loyal, self and race respecting people in this city by appointing Blossom, city welfare director. All three councilmen, in a conference with the editor of The Gazette about ten days previous to Feb. 17, '30, freely admitted they had a “mandate” trom our people of their districts to oust Blossom from office for his most miserable treat- ment of them. The statement that “Manager Morgan would have ap- pointed him, anyhow" is not true. That fact he made clear in a con- ference with the editor of this paper. And even if it were true, which was not the case, even that would not excuse them for breaking their pledge to our people of their dis- tricts and all the rest of the city, because when they “waived” their opposition to Blossom, they were not keeping but breaking their pledge and ignoring the people and the pledge they so often and so loud- ly proclaimed, day and night, in pub- lic meetings during last fall's cam- paign, It is an unpardonable act for which Bundy, Payne and George will be made to atone, if they dare to face the electorate of their districts again, next year, seeking re-election. Our people of this community had a somewhat similar experience in the case of Councilman E. J. Gregg upon whom they visited a stinging defeat at the polls, last fall, because of his sad exhibition of disloyalty when he voted for a white Democrat in pref- erence to one of his own people. Our people, especially the intelligent ‘ones, will not condone such flagrant disloyalty, to the race, in thelr pub- ic servants, especially those of color. They have to work too hard to elect them to office to quietly submit to ‘such shameless mistreatment, and ‘Councilmen Payne, Bundy and Geor- ge will be made to recognize this ‘tact, next year In the fall, should ‘they stand again as candidates. Nor wa our city manager be forgotten when the opportunity affords, Notice also that you have gained in energy—your skin is clearer—your ‘eves sparkle with glorious health—you feel younger in body—keener in mind.
