THE GREAT C. & B. LINE
The 1930 Season of Travel on Lake Erie is at Hand—Exceptional Comforts and Opportunities!
"We're off to Buffalo on the night of April 15th," is the prediction of P. J. Swartz, general manager of The Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company, "from then on steamers will leave on their regular schedule between Cleveland and Buffalo, each attending at the opposite terminus at 7:30 a. m." They are more attractively equipped than ever before to handle the thousands of travelers and auto tourists and afford all the comforts and courtesy of a modern hotel. The singing orchestra of the great musician will give a concert, each evening, followed by dancing in the main dining room.
The Port Stanley division of the C. & B. Line is known as the short route to Canada from Ohio. The distance, across Lake Erie from Cleveland, is only 87 miles and autolists who wish to cross into "America" 45 miles from Ohio and save many miles of congested driving by availing themselves of this C. & B. car-by-steamer service, between June 20 and Sept. 6. With both of these C. & B. divisions in operation, autolists may go either from Cleveland to Buffalo or from Cleveland to Detroit. They also have the opposite C. & B. route, with their entire time during the day for touring in the picturesque districts of Ontario Province. The C. & B. division, between Cleveland and Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay, which opens, June 8, will be covered by the day-outing steamer. The Port Stanley division permits a still longer visit at Cedar Point or Put-in-Bay for those making these daily excursions.
One of the new features on the C. & B. Line schedule, for this season, will be the Cruise De Luxe of the "SEEANDBEE" to Chicago with stopovers on island to the "Soo" and Mackinac island. Many requests of details on this cruise are already being received by the C. & B. Line.

While teaching, he decided to study for the priesthood, and entered a Jesuit college. Just as he began his studies, he had an opportunity to compete in an examination for entrance to West Point.
THREE BOYS NEED HOMES
Here Is a Wonderful Opportunity for Some of Our Good People to Help Themselves and Others Deserving.
As a result of unemployment the Cleveland Humane Society has the largest number of children on its boarding list in its fifty-seven years of service, unless it can move the children from boarding homes into permanent homes and make place for children from the institutions, a serious problem is created for all the children's agencies. The Society is making a special effort to place a large number of boys and girls from 14 to 16 years old in normal, free and wage, family homes where they can earn a part or all of their board, and assist in their per-mentation among them. Three promising boys from our race who need good homes where they may have opportunities for development.
Edward, ambitious and dependable, shows marked mechanical ability, has managed a grocery store and is a good salesman. The lad is thrifty and is trying to save some money. Edward should be placed in a position of man of wisdom or intelligent man who would interest himself in the boy's mechanical development.
James, also age 16, is an ideal boy for a truck farm. At present he too is in Bedford in the first good home he has had. James needs a good, free or wage home in the country where he can work under the supervision of an older man who will teach him.
Harry, age 11, is a regular boy, affectionate, easy to manage, nice looking, strong and well. He is a favorite among his playmates and very dependable. Harry would adjust well in a small town or in a suburban locality where he can complete his education and assist him.
The Humane Society believes that there are intelligent, socially-minded people of our race who could open their homes to these boys to their own advantage as well as to the advantage of the boys, and by so doing give them a good home and an opportunity to help themselves. Persons interested are requested to write Miss Amy Thomas, 520 Federal Reserve Bank Bldg. Cleveland O., or call her at MAln 8382.
AT OHIO THEATER
“HOT CHOCOLATES”
The original cast of Connie's "Hot Chocolates," with the fastest and peppiest dancing chorus ever seen, opens at the Ohio Theater, Sunday evening, for one week only, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, at popular prices. This is the company that Percy Hammond, dramatic critic of the New York Herald-Tribune, characterized as "the best appeared there, some months ago, for a long run. The entire New York cast of 105 people, and the Albertine Rasch ballet, make this outstanding musical event of the season, a rare treat for all.
Most of the performers in the show had their start in Connie's Inn, a rendezvous in Manhattan's upstown Afro-American section, and "Jazzlips" Richardson has been the talk of New York ever since "Hot Chocolates" opened at the Hudson Theatre in that city, last June. His imitative dancing and comic abilities have placed him in the forefront of our stars. In the cast also are: Billy Higgins, Billy Maxey, Rowland Wiley, John McCormick, Cabel Calloon, Margaret Simms, the Six Crackerjacks, the speediest dancing group seen in many a day; the Bon Bon Buddies and Russell Wooding's celebrated jubilee singers.
This is the show that has "Ain' Misbehavin'"; the popular jazz-hit that has been sweeping the country One of its composers, Thomas "Fatts" Waller, is at the piano, in the orchestra, which Russell Wooding a spirited fast-stopping Chocolates' pert display of Afric accomplishments. The young bloods from Harlem may be depended upon to dance with an immense amount of energy and willingness, and the entire performance, well-stocked with the music of many of the will give local music revue fans something to talk about after the opening.
Bar Hoover Endorsement
Atlanta, Ga.—A recent meeting of the Republican State committee disclosed the interesting fact that out of sixty-five members, fifty-nine were "Black and Tans," and only six "Lilly-Whites," who were therefore unable to get thru a resolution endorsing President Hoover and his administration. Our local weekly newspaper, the Independent, says, anent this:
"If the President desires to substitute 34,000 white people, who voted for Mr. Hoover in 1928 merely in protest against Whiskey and Catholicism, for the Negro vote, North and South nobody can stop His Excellency from exercising this pre-operative. The elimination of the Negro means a Democratic president in 1932."

AS PRESIDENT OF HAITI—HAITIANS HAPPY AS NEW ERA DAWNS.
"Dictator," Etc.
Port au Prince, Haiti—President Hoover's Haiti Commission, headed by its chairman, the Hon. W. Cameron Forbes, returned here on the 12th. During its absence from this city, it visited several centers of population in the interior, and Cape Haitien and Gonaives on the coast.
The Catholic Bishop's Address.
At Cape Haitien, the Commission was addressed by several prominent officials, including Bishop Jan. Nationalism was found to be even stronger there than here. Those who testified before the commission demanded a school autonomy.

"I speak for 500,000 Catholic Haitians", said Bishop Jan. "I would prefer to speak only praise for the occupation, but the historic role of the Church is to take a hand in the welfare of the people if they are unhappy. True to its mission and true to truth, we united people and their Faith, so that they feel it is menaced. I add my words to their cry of misery and sorrow, and sympathetic with their aspirations. With hope I stand at the head of this people before you and the great President whom you represent. The Church always has been loyal to every government, seeking only to serve by submitting loyally to its laws, not only by preaching the Gospel but by seeking more educational instruction. Under the 1913 convention, schools both trust in the Church and we will increase their efficiency and number under the more benevolent autonomous regime, which we look to you to introduce. People and local authorities in many places demand this service. Our reward will be the privilege of helping establish and fortify the new regime."
The Commission Tours Haiti.
At Goncalvo, where the Cruiser Borno also stopped, the commission was warned and local officials. There Mr. Forbes made clear that the agreement reached with President Borno before the group left Port au Prince clearly defined an early election. This agreement "Dictator" Russell and the American Occupation forced their "puppet", President Borno, to repudiate for a few days, but the Commission soon "straightened him out." Russell and Borno wanted the President elected by the State Council which like Borno, is under Russell's control. He was watching the hearing at Goncalves, women and children stood outside the building in which it was held, saying their rosaries aloud and praying for the guidance of the commission to do its best for Haiti. A colorful parade, one of many staged throughout Haiti during the course of the short trip to the interior, was held, at the conclusion of which a banner for President Hoover was presented. "The president of silk, had embroidered on it in gold letters: "President Hoover, God Bless You. Goncalves."
Fifty Thousand Parade.
Port au Prince, Haiti, March 20.
—Amid scenes of intense enthusiasm an assembly of people's delegates today approved the choice of the Hon. Eugene Roy, broker, as temporary president of Haiti. He took office, then presided over, Louis Born's term expires. Mr. Roy will serve until legislative elections can be held, next fall, presumably in August, and the deputies and senators can elect a president. After the vote was taken, with 34 ballots for him and one blank, he was taken to the Paiisan crowd, where speech Ossissian crowd of seven thousand cheered wildly, mingling shouts for Mr. Roy, for the republic, for President Hoover and the Hoover commission which brought calm to Haiti's unfortunate political situation. After a brief talk, in which he pledged himself to carry out the plan of the Hoover commission, Mr. Roy was taken to the streets. Some 50,000 people shouted exuberantly and joined the parade, with bands playing, while shouts of "Vive Roy" and "Vive la Republice" were heard on all sides.

prepared statement, the commission, headed by W. Cameron Forbes, said it had been "particularly impressed with the splendid results accomplished under the sincere and efficient direction of Gen J. H. Russell, whose policy had the co-operation of President Borno." The statement followed a press conference at which he addressed the receipt of a preliminary report from the commission on its activities in bringing about the provisional government which is to be inaugurated May 15 with Eugene Roy, Haitian financier, in the presidential power. President Hoover said the provisional president would remain in office until Haitian congressional elections next fall when a new president would be constitutionally elected. After a conference with Joseph P. Cox, acting secretary of state, commissioners said they immediately would begin work on their report. For this purpose they established headquarters at the State Department.
Wall St. Names Banker
Port au Prince, Haïti, March 25 — Eugene Roy, Haitian banker, closely connected with the Wall St. bankers who rule Haïti, has been made dictator on the recommendation of the Hoover banker-led commission. The Hoover Commission, headed by Cameron Forbes, Wall St. banker, suggested that President Louis Borno step aside; to eliminate the antagonism against him and that Eugene Roy, who is closely affiliated with the National City Bank of New York City, take his place.
Southern Crackers in Haiti.
Helena Hill Weed (weish) had the following in a recent issue of the Nation, N. Y. City:
This brute force of which I have given the force and which has characterized the whole history of the (American) occupation (in Haiti) is not the crowning stupidity—to use no stronger term—of the 15 years of blundering in Haiti. The great issue—and it is the issue that pervades every phase of every American intervention—is the racial attitude of every American official in every department of the occupation. For an American to be seen speaking unless in a strictly business official capacity, is to invite ostracism and insult from the lowest to the highest of those who, under the terms of the treaty, are here to "assist" the Haitians. Thus, while French, German, English and Canadian residents maintain social relations with Haitians of their own degree of culture and education, Americans, from the therneck to the therneck, treat all Haitians with the most contemptly and ridicule.
In view of this racial coadecension, an incident which occurred in connection with the arrival of the commissioners is especially amusing and significant. General Russell, in an effort to save his face, invited me to his residence to meet the members of the commission. The local press carried the replies to his invitation of several distinguished Haitians. I reprint three of them here.
"I am a part of that national community which 'hits the mentality of a child of 7 years,' and my country undergoes . . . oppression for which you, and yours, are the responsible agents. As a Haitian, my place is not in your salon, and the invitation which I have received is a mystification of it.
"Francois Mathon."
"I should like to believe that it is by . . . error that your invitation was addressed to Mme. Lucien Th. Lafontant and myself. I ask you not to attribute to a similar cause my refusal to take part.
"The 'nigger' Jacques Roumain does not condescend to associate with whites.
"Jacques Roumain."
And these answers are the reason why Haiti will win its fight against oppression. You can't keep down a group of people with spirit such as these notes manifest. There are yet people who believe that there is nothing worse than dishonor—not even death. Such people do not die, but they can on forever.

BEWARE OF RUSSELL!
‘The latest reports from Haiti show
clearly that Brig. Gen, John H. Rus-
sell, American High Commissioner,
“Dictator,” and head of the Ameri-
can Occupation in Haiti still is very
actve in his efforts to destroy the
good work of President Herbert
Hoover's Haitian Commission. He
does not want Haiti to have a pro-
visional government—a temporary
president followed, this fall, by the
election of a legislature that will
elect the President. So while the
Commission was absent from Port
au Prince, visiting other points of
Haiti, Russell forced President Bor-
no, his political ereature, to with-
draw his (Borno’s agreement to the
plan outlined by the Commission. In
addition to this Russell had sent to
the newspapers in this country ar-
ticles that had a tendency to weaken
the standing of and embarrass the
commission, and at the same time
promote his opposition to the Com-
mission's plans. Russell and the oc-
cupation are but seeking to continue
their stranglehold on “The Little
Black Republic” and to prevent his
early ousting and that of the Ameri-
can marines. It is to be hoped that
the Haitian Commission understands
this and more, and will refuse to be
balked in their plans to free “poor
bleeding Haiti” by Russell, the
American Occupation, and President
Borno, their creature. Let us hope
that the Haitians’ Joy over the out-
look to regain the freedom, this gov-
ernment robbed them of years ago,
‘will not be lessened in the slightest
by Russell, the American Occupa-
tion, or any one or anything else.
“THE TRIPLETS’ " ANTICS.
“The Blossom Triplets," Council-
men George, Payne and Bundy, en-
dorsed Ormond Forte for the super-
intendency of the garbage plant. Be-
ing told by the leaders of the local
Republican organization that Forte
would*not be appointed because he
not only failed to support the or-
ganization side of the controversy,
last fall, but aided the Progressive
Government Committee in its cam-
paign, and for other good and suf-
ficient reasons, they then switched
to the support of Sydney B. Thomp-
son for the job. When the local Re-
publican leaders informed “The
Triplets” that they would 0. K.
‘Thompson's appointment, “The Blos-
som Trio” withdrew their support of
‘Thompson and announced the re-
newal of their support of the “Forte
lost cause.” All of which is very
amusing. Other names mentioned
in connection with the appointment
‘of Sup't Abe Crutch’s successor are
Seth Nickens and Wallace Stokes.
veteran of the World War, adjutant
of Lemuel T. Boydaton post and for
fourteen years in charge of the gar-
age plant, some years ago, as act-
ing superintendent of the same. As
we said in our last issue, “The Blos-
som Trio or Triplets”, who still do
not seem “to know what it is all
about,” will continue their foolish
course in this matter of the appoint-
ment of a superintendent of the
garbage plant until the local Repub-
lican organization leaders, as a re-
sult of disgust, will give that $3500
a year job to some white Republi-
can, and that will settle it. The ap-
pointment of Stokes to the position
seems to us to be the logical one,
and if “The Triplets” are wise they
will urge the World War Veteran for
the place, at once.
Sos ee
THEY BLAME DAVIS.
“The Blossom Triplets" blame the
Hon. Harry E. Davis, a member ot
the Civil Service commission, for the
loss of the clerkship in that depart
ment of the city service, promised
them for “waiving” their opposition
to the reappointment of City Wel-
fare Director Dudley Blossom, and
vainly trying to waive ours, too.
There are three members of the
commission and Davis is only one of
them, It does not seem hardly fait
for Councilmen George, Payne and
Bundy to place all of the blame at
his door. As a matter of fact, “The
Blossom Triplets” are to blame, jus
as they are to blame for holding uy
the appointment of a member of the
race as superintendent of the garb
age plant, a $3500 a year job, and
for their failure to get the other
“promised” job, the clerkship in the
city treasurer's department. Wher
they permitted City Manager Daniel
E. Morgan and City Welfare Directo:
Dud. Blossom to talk them into tg:
noring their “mandate” to oust Blos
som from office, given them by theit
constituents, last fall during th
campaign, “The Blossom Triplets’
lost the standing with Morgan an¢
the local Republican leaders the;
should hold, today. As it is, the}
‘are but putty in the hands of thes
local Republican leaders who trea
them as they please, and possibly a
they should be treated in view o
their support of the Blossom ap
pointment contrary to the deman¢
of our people, the great mass oi
Shieks ccueaiiiadeke:
SOUTHERN “CRACKERS”.
‘The “Negro”-hating U. S. sena
tors, Cole Blease of South Carolina,
Tom Heflin of Alabama, and Pat
Harrison of Mississippi are ever an¢
anon making themselves supremely
ridiculous in the eyes of the intel
gent readers of the daily newspapers
of the country as the result of thei
‘assinine racial and religious preju-
dices. ‘The latest case in point i
the Blease stunt, of last week, whez
he held up for one and one-hall
hours the confirmation of the ap-
pointment of “Muny” Judge Jas. A
Cobb of (Washington), the District
of Columbia. On this occasioz
Blease’s diatribes, directed at our
people, were as usual contemptible
‘and would have been slapped back
Into his foul mouth in a proper way
if our people had even one real
friend, a member of that august
body. Oh, for a Sumner or Foraker
in the U. S. Senate, these days!

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 erfacced while a member of
the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
‘The General Code of Ohio:
See. 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 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, facili-
ties or privileges thereof, shall be
fined not less than fifty dollars nor
more than five hundred dollars, or
imprisoned not less than thirty days
nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941, Whoever violates the
next preceding section shall also pay
‘not less than fifty dollars nor more
than five hundreds dollars to the per-
son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
ered in any court of competent jur-
isdiction in the county where such
offense was committed.
‘This law nas repeatedly been held
constitutional and good law by the
Ohio Supreme court, The trouble is
our people will not use it as often as
they should, but expect it to do tor
them what they should and must do
for themselves, under it, in the
courts,

“HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT.”
Saini a aan
My soul is sick with every
day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is filled,
There is no flesh in man’s ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man; the
natural bond
Of brotherhood Is severed as
the flax
That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of
a skin
Not colored lke his own; and
having power
To enforce the wrong, for such
a@ worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
aicerseee erie
Thus man devotes his brother,
‘and. destroys:
’Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.

“WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN
GOLD"!
Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1926.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette,
Dear Friend:—I have read
the latest copy of The Gazette
through and after reading it,
I can truthfully say: It is
worth ite weight in gold!
I admire true manhood—a
man who, seeing injustice and
oppression, dares, within the
limits of the law, to expose it
and, if possible smite it. You
and'I have frequently, during
the forty-two years since the
birth of The Gazette, been, as
the Scotch would say, like two
‘McNells, but when I find a man,
such as you, who consistently,
and persistently, through near-
ly half a century, puts his race
foremost in his’ life struggle,
I take off my hat to him, as
being a true friend of ‘oar
class. Long life to you and
‘The Gazette,
Yours for the right,
John P. Green.

Ask Rev. Balley when next you see him! A plea for a rehearing for former Councilman Tom Fleming, ward 11 Republican leader, under sentence of two years and nine months at hard labor in the Ohio penitentiary for bribery, was filed in the supreme court, last week, Thursday, by his counsel, Alex.

The ladies of Mt. Pleasant A. M. E. church, E. 128th St., gave a banquet, Mar. 19, for the benefit of the auxiliary organizations of the church, which proved a most enjoyable social function. Mrs. Catherine Peaks, chairman of committee of arrangements, was ably assisted by Mrs. Rose Carter. The program paralleled that of Josephine Nnam Mrs. Jennie P. McNiel, Mrs. Lula Brown, Mrs. O. Jones, and Hon. Perry B. Jackson. Rev. Wm. McMorris, pastor, pronounced the benediction as well as invocation.
Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church M. S. sponsored the concert of the Grinage singers given at the church one evening the first of the week. An audience of about 200 listened to a program above the average and applauded the several numbers most popular with our National anthem, which was followed by vocal and instrumental solos of exceptional merit. Rev. Grinage, founder of the singers who have broadcasted over station WJAY, gave a tenor solo which was very pleasing indeed as were all of the ensemble numbers.

Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-eight years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser.
A list of Associated Charities stations to which all donations may be made and where persons in need of food and clothing will be cared for follows: General service center at 2525 Euclid Ave. branches at 2945 Woodhill Rd., 8123 Carnegie Ave, 10605 Superlor Ave. 5620 Broadway.

The Illustrated Feature Section, which some of our weekly publications are using, is gotten out by the W. B. Ziff Co., "Publishers" Representative, of Chicago. It is supposed to co-operative enterprise" but is simply a charity with which the Jewish firm benefits MOST and uses the circulation of our publications so misguided as to use The Illustrated Feature Section. "Cut it, out, brethren!" It seems strange that any of our papers can be so easily duped and taken advantage of.
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. Davits, it is said. All of which is enforced because Crutch will be automatically remanded 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 team responsible for this misrepresentation, so 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."
WHITE GIRLS LIKE JOHNNIE
Or Is It That "Snappy" Car and the
Money He Earns Weekly?
Union City, N. J.-Johnlean Stokes, Jr.'s mother is white and his father, colored. Next door to his parents' home, her loves Mrs. Bessie Priest (white) who has a very pretty daughter that Johnlean loves and intends to marry in spite of the opposition of the mother.
"All the other white girls I know have been trying to get Johnny," shouted 16-year-old Lillian to her mother.
"He has a snappy car and makes $125 a week. If I don't take him now, some of the others will."
The Johnny referred to is John Stokes, Jr., of course, who has already gotten a provisional marriage license on the condition that Lillian can instantiate her claim that she is 19 years old.
"I will send to New York for a copy of Lillian's birth certificate. If it shows she is 19 instead of 16 we will be married right away," says Johnle.
Meantime, "Mother" Pristop has spirited daughter away northward, presumably to the home of an uncle where she will try to keep her until this romance has died a natural death—if it will.

JUDGE A. J. PEARSON
Presiding Over the Local Divorce Court Headed Right—Solicitous For the Children, Particularly.
Mrs. Louise Pridgeon and the editor of The Gazette represented our people at a conference of charitable and welfare organizations, called by Pearson of the Common pleas court and had it Saturday morning, in the Federal Reserve Bank building, the attendance be
ing limited to about 25 persons. The speakers were Judge Pearson who presided over the meeting, Judge Ira M. Jayne, Atty. Kunz of Detroit, and Chief Justice Carrington T. Marshall of the Ohio Supreme Court, Columbus. A "round table" discussion followed their very interesting talks which terminated in a motion to authorize Judge Pearson to appoint a small committee to study carefully his suggestion of closer coordination and better co-operation of the local divorce and juvenile courts with the charitable and welfare organizations of the city, something greatly needed!

This excited a little exhibition of jealousy, on the part of the local associated charities representative and one or two "Aro" that was so characteristically "Aro" we could not repress several smiles.

OVER ELABORATE FOUNDATIONS
THE chic of plique for the spring suit and ensemble is unquestioned. While many of the new pliques are made of silk or cotton, just as many and equally as beautiful types are woven of man-made fiber, which is wonderfully interesting when you come to think of it. Because of its soft silky texture and its scope of adorable colorings, modern processed fiber plique merits all the flattering attention which stylists are according it.
A pleasing designfulness is achieved by playing up a vertical and horizontal striping of the bemberg plique which fashions the three-piece sports ensemble pictured. The color scheme adopted for this costume is very attractive. The blouse is in the new bittersweet shade, which makes an effective contrast to the champagne tint of the plique jacket and skirt.
The suit in the modern interpretation of the word does not mean a manial fashion finished. On the contrary the new spring suits are delightfully
NET IN LOVELY SE
OVER ELABO
THE powers that be are certainly doing the thing thoroughly down to the slightest detail—that of "feminizing" the mode.
One of the latest evidences of this is the revival of the elaborated foundation slip. Of course, with such silky frocks of lace, chiffon or net, as are now in fashion, the fanciful costume slip is inevitable. The dainty frock of diamond-mesh bemberg net in the picture owes much of its enchantment to the very lovely bow-tinned satin-and-lace slip, over which it is posed. The costume is carried out in rose-belle tones. Cap sleeves, a very full-at-the-hemline skirt and a cape back, contribute effective style features to this beguiling party frock.
Net in white, black, and especially in dainty colors, is among the most sought-for media of the present fashion era. In fact, all flimy, see-through materials are "having their day" and night, too, for that matter, as transparent effects are the call of the spring and the summer evening mode. With this thought in mind, stylists are fashioning the new lingerie slips
"femline," giving variety to the mode of because of their versatile styling which involves all sorts of "dress-maker" touches.
Scarfs of self-fabric, such as details the frock picture, finish the necklines, as also do cape collars. Many a frock of lustrous colorful pique is made sleeveless, but with a cape which beet detachable may be worn at will. The bolero suit is also successfully styled of the new colorful soft and silken pique.
Smart style also calls for very simply styled suits made of brown or black pique. These depend on the blouses worn with them for color effect. The latest adventure in color made by the blouse is in the realm of lovely pastel shades. For instance, with the suit of black pique, a blouse of either "baby blue" or pale pink shantung bespeaks a last-word trend of the mode. The sleeveless blouse of silk print is also registered on the new style program.

accordingly, that is, elaborating them with lace, ribbon and embroidery. It is even hinted that because of the return of "peek-a-boo" blouses of washable net, the lace-laden, be ribboned camisole may be revived.
However, speaking of the new sheer frocks, nothing prettier appears in the evening style scene than those fashioned of pale pink or flesh colored net over satin foundations. Some, there are, who are referring to the future as a "pink season," owing to the accent placed on all pink tones by fashion. This applies not only to evening modes, for sports wear, also, is made up to a large extent of pale pink jersey, flannels, crepes, and washable silks.
As to the sheerness of the mode, even hats reflect its influence. For instance, many of the widened picture brims are of "straw lace," this being a new note introduced into millinery this season, and one which is being highlighted with utmost enthusiasm. These hats with transparent brims top the wispy sheer flowery chiffon ensembles to perfection.

POOR MAN'S AUTO THAT SELLS FOR $100
Hardly larger than a toy, this automobile attracted a great deal of attention at the Paris auto show. It is two and one-half horse power and attains a speed of over twenty miles an hour. The price is only $100.

ROADS GET PART OF MOTOR COST
ROADS GET PART OF MOTOR COST
in Minnesota.
(B. E. D'UFF) When the mayor/mayer reads that his state is spending millions of dollars for road improvements he may feel that the expenditure is ample. However, the money that is actually devoted to road betterment is but a small percentage of the total motoring cost.
Minnesota Figures.
Taking figures compiled for Minnesota, which are exemplary of most other states, the total state and local road bill is but 10 per cent of Minnesota's complete motoring expenditure. Replacement of parts, fuel, lubricants, accessories, financing, new cars and trucks, insurance, and so on, this year cost Minnesota motorists $372,000,000. It is estimated by the state highway department that in 1930 Minnesota will spend $38,500,000 for roads. It is prophesied that the total motoring bill for 1930 will be $390,000,000. Consequently, the license and gasoline tax money which go into the trunks highway fund will be less than 5 per cent of the total motoring bill. C. M. Babcock, Minnesota's commissioner of highways, recently declared:
Vehicle Cost Decreases.
"Although our total motor bill is increasing, the cost per vehicle mile is decreasing. This is partly due to improvements in the cars, but mostly due to improved highways. With further improvements in our highway system, we can still further reduce the cost per car mile. Every dollar spent for better roads will save dollars for gasoline, tires and repairs."
With automobile registrations increasing rapidly and with a steady increase in the mileage covered by the individual motorist, most states would not be violating any economic rule by devoting more money to first-class pavement construction. Quite to the contrary, the wise spending of more money for smooth pavements would bring a proportionate reduction in car operating costs. The invisible charge collected by inferior roads is far greater than the motorist realizes—from one to two cents a mile.
Automobile Radios Are
Only a short time ago the radio enthusiast who strung an nerial over the top of his car and installed a receiving set in the back so that he could hear programs as he drove along was looked upon as a bit queer and people smiled as they passed such an outfit along the road. Nowadays, with the vastly better receiving sets many of the better grades of automobiles are being regularly equipped with aerials built into the car tops, so that high-grade receiving sets can be installed at any time the owner desires. The main problem in connection with such an installation is the elimination of interference from the automobile spark plugs, which can be done with the proper arrangement of condensers and resistances. The low tension sparks at the circuit breaker and the generator commutator are even more easily taken care of.
It will be only a short time now before all the better grades of autos will have a receiving set as standard equipment, and even the cheaper cars will be arranged to put them in as optional equipment.
Autoists Speeding Over
Roads Built by Romans While the United States leads in road improvement and construction activity, European countries lead in mileage of surfaced roads. This is because their surfaced highways began with the old Romans, and these old highways have been kept in good condition throughout the ages. Europe has 639,000 miles of surfaced roads as compared to 150,000 in the United States. Following close on the heels of the United States comes Australia, with 88,000 miles of hard roads. The huge area of Asia, however, has only 106,000 miles of surfaced highways.
Q. How much dirt, sludge and other foreign matter is collected by the oil filter in 10,000 miles of driving?
Ans. Over two pounds.
Q. What attention must be given the oil filter?
Ans. At 10,000 miles the filter unit should be renewed.
Q. When was the first automobile introduced in the Fiji islands and how was it received?
Ans. In 1955. The natives regarded it with superstition, claiming that the devils formed the means of locomotion.
Q. What is "Shellkol" and where is it produced?
Ans. "Shellkol" is a fuel alcohol manufactured in Australia and is produced from molasses.
Making Temporary Repair
Sometimes a break in a spring that presses a brush against the commutator on the starting motor makes the starter inoperative. The illustration shows a temporary repair. Cut a strip of rubber from an inner tube and pass it through the openings in the motor

frame as shown. Pull fairly tightly and tie a knot. The rubber band will press the brush against the commutator and permit the motor to start the engine in normal fashion.—Popular Science Monthly.
Spark Plugs Important
Some tests recently made in one of the automobile manufacturer's laboratories showed that an automobile engine in which the spark plugs had been used for more than 12,000 miles developed 31.2 horse power when run at an engine speed equivalent to 20 miles per hour. The same motor run at the same speed with a new set of spark plugs produced 38 horse power, an increase of 6.8 horse power, or 21.8 per cent. This shows the importance of good plugs for increasing power and decreasing fuel consumption.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
After the monoxide fumes have done their work, it is far too late to be cautious.
The absence of water in a battery will cause the bottom to be eaten away by strong acids.
Uneven tire wear can affect the rear as well as front tires, although it generally is associated with the latter.
Jeweler's rouge is still the most effective cleanser for headlight reflectors on which the plating is easily damaged.
Caution should be taken when driving off the main road into grass. Loose sand or dirt or a bad culvert will cause an accident.
When a balloon tire is starting to go flat remember that it always looks flatter than it is and often can be run on to the nearest garage without injury.
There are 23.8 motor vehicles for every mile of road in the Hawaiian islands. Such traffic congestion is of course responsible for that eight-tenths of a car.

HOW THEY DID IT!

PHILLEX S. BLOGGOM
"THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS".
It does not seem possible that three persons, candidates for office in quest of votes, could possibly go thru several weeks of campaigning, day and night pledging the voters that, if elected, they would do all in their power to oust a man from office who had denied them and their people, of all the population of a great city like Cleveland, rights and privileges (in a public institution) in a most insulting manner, and
The Truth!
What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip.
then fail to do so, with victory in their hands—only dependent upon their keeping their pledge to the people who elected them. And yet that is exactly what Councilmen Clayborne George, Leroy Bundy and Lawrence Payne did in the case of City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, on when Monday, Feb. 17, 30, they "waived their opposition,"—not ours—and City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, knowing the condition of affairs thorny, 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 from their a "mandate" from our people of their districts to oust Blossom from office for his most miserable treatment of them. The statement that "Manager Morgan would have appointed him, anyhow" is not true. That fact he made clear in a conference 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 districts 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 loudly proclaimed, day and night, in public meetings during last fall's campaign. 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 preference to one of his own people. Our people, especially the intelligent ones, will not condone such flagrant disloyalty, to the race, in their public 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 George will be made to recognize this fact, next year in the fall, should they stand again as candidates. Nor will our city manager be forgotten when the opportunity affords.

Hon. Harry C. Smith,

Dear Sir:—After reading carefully The Gazette of Feb. 22, '30, I desire to say that I am in hearty sympathy with you and therefore am laying my copy aside for reference, next year, during the campaign when I hope to be actively engaged with you and others reminding the people of the third and fourth districts of Councilmen LeRoy N. Bundy, Lawrence O. Payne and Clayborne George's shameless refusal to obey the mandate of our people of those districts and the entire city, given them, last fall, during the campaign—to do all in their power to help oust City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, as well as City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. There are hundreds, yes, thousands of our people in this section of the city who will not overlook or forgive their flagrant disregard of their clear duty in this matter. I expect
IS IT ANY USE TO CON-
TEND 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 demanding social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have '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.
to be actively engaged against the candidacies of these men, next year, in case they have the temerity to stand for re-election to the City Council of Cleveland.
I want you to know that I also shall not forget City Manager Daniel E. Morgan's disapproval of the Finkle ordinance, passed by the City Council, to award Garret A. Morgan the pittance of £2000 for the heroic service he gave this city at its officials' request at the time of the tunnel disaster, in 1916. This most reprehensible act is but little less offensive than his appointment of Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom
