Mahaffey Walton A. Turner Jr. Gladys I. Gibson James H. Artress Harry W. Roche James J. Roonan Leroy M. Ford Edward J. Kvasty Grim Tragedies Are Often the Measurement of Men and Women Echoes of the Cleveland Clinic disaster of May 15, 1929, when more than 125 persons died of the effects of poisonous gases, are heard in the announcement by telephone officials of the list of persons who will receive Theodore N. Vail medals and other awards. Eight Cleveland telephone workers, seven of them employees of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, are honored for heroism in the clinic disaster. They are: Gladys L. Gibson, telephone operator employed at the clinic, who died at the switchboard, caught while attempting to warn patients, employees and caregivers of Gerald R. Mahaffey, 985 Sewlwm Rd., Cleveland Heights, who directed the establishment of emergency telephone facilities at the scene of the tragedy and then by the efficient employment of these instrumentalities, directed the calling of doctors and ambulances, and the organization facilitating the rescue and identification of victims. Mr. Mahaffey went into the building, disregarding the suffocating clouds of deadly vapor, carried out several victims, and then operated the switchboard where Gladys Gibson died. His activities included evening until the effects of gas and physical exhaustion compelled him to accept medical attention. W. A. Turner, who died recently, went into the building, rescuing several victims. He also supervised the installation of emergency telephone equipment which greatly facilitated the rescue work by making it possible to summon additional assistance and working until telephone service was permanently established in a building nearby. J. J. Roonan, 9517 Heath Avenue, who assisted in the supervision and installation of emergency telephone service and who rescued several victims at the peril of his own life. E. J. Kvasty, 1200 Dellrose Road, South Euclid, who assisted firemen in carrying equipment and administered artificial respiration to a great many who were overcome by gas fires. J. H. Artress, 4428 Rainbow Road, South Euclid, whose activities included rescue work, artificial respiration, and assistance in the establishment of emergency telephone service. J. W. Roche, 11625 Robertson Avenue, S. E., who assisted firemen in placing ladders and carrying victims to places of safety. They receive the Vail bronze medals in recognition of their heroism. R. G. Stone, 7711 Euclid Avenue. Leroy M. Ford who aided in caring for victims on the roof of the clinic building, receives honorable mention. For these Cleveland, the clinic disaster was an opportunity to show the team how to work with them were in the vicinity of the clinic building when the x-ray films exploded in a basement room, forcing clouds of gas through the building through ventilators and the elevator shaft. Others hurried to the clinic at the first report of the disaster service, a stable from a point of view of the building twenty minutes after the explosion occurred. The switchboard within the building, where Gladys Gibson gave her life, was manned as soon as telephone workmen could get to it. Later, service was set up in an adjacent building. Other awards mentioned in the Vall awards are: R. C. Bailey, 1931 E. 51st Street, for having administered first aid to a man who had been stabbed. Mr HENSON ALONE SURVIVES. Of All Six Who Reached the North Pole in the Perry Expedition of 1909—Turned Down Flat By the Congress. New York City —Matthew Henson, age 62, an obscure clerk in the U. S. custom's service here, is the only person alive to reach the North Pole on foot (snowshoes). This occurred, April 6, 1909, when he was drilled by the great explorer. The Congress gave him a pension or a medal in spite of the fact that Perry said of Henson: "I have taken him on each and all of my expeditions, except the first; also without exception on each of my farthest sledge trips. He is a better dog-driver than any man living, except some of the best Eskimo hunters themselves." He accompanied the North Pole: Perry, Henson and four Eskimos. Henson alone remains alive. The six remained at the Pole thirty-three hours. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The Rockefeller Foundation has guaranteed the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, executive secretary, Dr. Will B. Alexander of Atlanta. $400,000; the Julius Rosenwald fund, $100,000; and a campaign is under way to provide the remaining $800,000 to carry on for another (the second) ten years. Joseph O. Herben of Philadelphia Edward J. Kvasty Bailey receives honorable mention. M. L. Boyd, 1923 W. 45th Street, who administered first aid to a man taken ill in downtown Cleveland. He receives a letter of commendation. H. E. Harrod, whose first aid training proved valuable in aiding a woman struck by an automobile. He receives a letter of commendation. Leroy M. Ford, an Ohio Bell employee in Steubenville, receives a medal for snatching a small boy from the path of a railroad train. He receives elsewhere in the state, including six women, also are listed in the awards. Eight of these receive honorable mention and six receive letters of commendation. The awards are made in honor of the memory of the late Theodore N. Vail, at one time president of the American Phone and Telegraph Company. To telephone employees who have performed noteworthy acts of public service. is our candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania, primary elections, May 20, 1930. Louis R. McMillan, a graduate of Yale college, lectured in German, recently, before the City club of Dresden. This reminds us that Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell of Washington, D.C. when a delegate to the International Woman's Federation meet in Berlin, Germany, years ago, delivered her address in English, German and French. Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, secretary Commission on Race Relations, Federal Council of churches, New York City, sailed Wednesday via. England for South Africa, Portuguese Angola, Belgium, Belgium, as Region Consultant of the International Survey of Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s in foreign lands. YOUNGSTOWN.—Rev. S. H. McBee, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church, returned, Saturday, from a ten-day visit with his mother in St. Louis.—Rev. J. H. Rhodes, convicted of murder, sent to the Ohio "pen" at Columbus last year, granted a new trial this year, and after four months in jail here pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was sentenced to from one to twenty years in the "pen" and may get out on parole in thirteen months. The reporter for The Gazette is that he, Otto Campbell was the man that died from the gun shot wound inflicted by Rhodes. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS APPOINTED BY A DEMOCRAT APPOINTED BY A DEMOCRAT Banqueted by Three Hundred Afro-American Independents. Former Assist. U. S. Attorney General Lewis Says, "Wear No Man's Collar." Irish Catholic Democrats Lauded—Scott Elected Councilman and Got Only Four "Negro" Votes—"Hub" Democrats Planning to Carry the State. Boston, Mass.—Over 300 banqueters in Masonic Temple, March 28, cheered to the echo the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, former U. S. district attorney here under President Roosevelt, and Assist. U. S. Attorney General under President Taft, when he said: "Call no party master. Wear no man's collar. Be with any party when it is right; part company with it when it is wrong." The banquet was given in honor of Attys. Julian D. Rainey and James G. Wolf, recently named assistants in the office of the corporation counsel by Mayor Curley (Dem). Mr. Lewis, introduced as an "occasional Democrat," because he deserted Candidate Coolidge to work for John W. Davis (Dem.) in 1924, declared that for the last 20 years COMMUNISTS CONVICTED! For "Cleaning Out" Chapin's Restaurant—"Both Took the Law Into Their Own Hands", Says the Judge. The local Communist "cleaned out" Chapin's restaurant, 220 W. Superior Ave., on Mar. 18, had their "day in court", last week. It will be recalled that the trouble was alleged to have arisen because of the refusal to serve two Afro-Americans at the counter in the restaurant upon the occasion of a second visit to the museum of the museum by several Communists (white) who were "loud and boisterous", it is said. When the trial opened, last week Monday morning, before Municipal Judge Alva R. Corlett, A. E. Chapin, proprietor of the restaurant said the young Communists on their third visit to the place, at a signal from their leader, Miss Lillian Andrews, had hurried dishes and glasses at lim. Troy Baskham 913 Wheelock Road N. E. testified that after waiting 40 or 50 minutes for service, the little group got up to leave. Continuing he also said: "Then I saw a guy get up from one of the tables and hit Ed Palmer with a club, knocking him to the floor. The chef was throwing water from a frying pan and Chapin was throwing things. I saw Lulu Blake on the floor and tried to pick her up. Somebody with a gun came and told me not to move. Another man hit me to the head — I don't know how many times." Judge Corlett discharged one of the ten Communists and the others were given the opportunity of being put on probation, if they agreed to pay for the damage they did when they "cleaned out" the place. Their attorney, Miss Yetta Lamb, asked for time in which to confer with her clients, and she was given until this week, Wednesday afternoon. Miss Stella Kaufman (white), age 21, secretary of the International Labor Organization, charged, said she left Chapin's restaurant before the disturbance began because the proprietor told her "to get the hell out of here." "Both sides took the law into their own hands," Judge Corlett said. "And there has been a lot of lying on both sides. These young people (Communists) are imbued with an idea that they must save the right and wrong way to go about things. If they are interested in race discrimination, I call the civil rights act to their attention. They can't save the nation by force." Spurning all offers of compromise, Lil Andrews, young Communist leader and seven of his followers were sent enclosed in a pallet Judge Alva R. Corlett for "cleaning out" Chapin's restaurant. Singling Miss Andrews out as the ringleader, the judge imposed a sentence of $25 and costs and 30 days in the workhouse. The other seven were given sentences of $10 and costs and fifteen days, with ten days in jail. Miss Stella Kaufman, age 22, of 3223 E. 119th St., was discharged. Miss Andrews and her associates were in jail. Wednesday night. The seven are Joseph Skrock. Thomas Scott, and Suryl Leaubauch, all of 1175 W. 6th St.; Joseph Spinelli and Isadore Saunders, both of 3422 E. 152d St.; George Wyndysh, 2745 W. 11th St. and Edward Palmer. 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 comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. Hon. William H. Lewla. Afro-Americans have had lean times in politics. He said that the Republican party needs to be told what the Democrats are doing for the members of the race in their efforts to capture votes. "We live in the present, and our fathers in the past. The days of the abolitionists are gone forever. We must write our own Declaration of Independence and take our place in history, and by so doing we will be playing the game for all that it is worth," he added. Might Support Democrat Again. Mr. Lewis admitted that in 1932 he might again be a Democrat as he was in 1924. He also recalled that Mr. Rainey is the grandson of a former congressman of the same name, from South Carolina. Atty. James Thomas of New York City and former member of the legislature told the banquets that our fathers were hoodwinked into believing that they were freed by the Republican party, adding: "Two hundred thousand of our soldiers fought in the Civil War to free themselves." He praised Mayor Curley in honoring two of our attorneys. "Such honor is only given to people who are aggressive," he said. "That is why we fail to get anything in New York City." Kluxers South and North. In his address, Mr. Rainey declared that "the personnel of the Democrats of the South was the same as the personnel of the Republican party in the North. In the South, the Democrats are members of the Ku Klux Klan and in the North the Republicans formed the Klan." In urging members of the race to support the Democratic party, he said: "Everything we have received in Boston has been given by the Democrats." He gave his reasons for quitting the Republicans in 1922 and how he had influenced Afro-American voters to change their party designation. He praised highly Irish Catholics, saying that wherever they are in power we are given an equal break. In referring to the policy of Republicans in having a Negro night, he said that "the Democratic night" in the Democratic party as Afro-American Democrats attended all meetings. Atty. Ralney denounced the Republican party as being a party of broken promises. The League Secretary Speaks. Dr. Wm. Worthy, secretary of the Afro-American Democratic Political League, of Massachusetts, told how the league was organized and of their struggles in getting about 55 per cent of the 30,000 potential voters in the state to work with the Democratic party. City Councilman Charles Scott, of Worcester, Mass., told of the 15 years he last 15 years. He added that the only Afro-American votes he ever received were those of the four members of his own family. Henry E. Lawler (white), chairman of the Democratic City Committee, urged our voters to support the entire Democratic ticket in the fall so as to elect a Democratic government promising that with such an election the party would be pointed in the Roxbury district and not a special justice as certain Republican leaders are seeking. The promised "Coolidge Good Times" that never arrived during his last four years in office, and the promised "Hoover Prosperity" that has been over a year coming and going, are making democrats and are making Democrats by the thousands among all groups or classes of Americans. Dr. E. G. Conklin (white), professor of biology at Princeton (N. J.) University, said to the Toronto, Ontario, Canadian Club, Mad. 28. 30: he never has happened. The races are distinct, have inhabited the same territory for a thousand years, without (inter-marriage) losing their distinctiveness and blending their traits. A distinguished French critic of music and of the dance, Dr. Stephen Chauvet, in his recent work, "Negro Mass says, There is nothing specifically Negro, nothing that resembles real African Negro music less than jazz."

SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930. Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, whom President Herbert Hoover has nominated for membership in the U. S. Supreme Court, is even less fit for the position than the average prejudiced southerner because he is an exceptionally able man who has been fool enough to express himself as being opposed to "The Negroes' participation in politics." And "Negroes" are American citizens many thousands of whom both north and south are superior to the average white American, north or south. --- When City Manager Daniel E. Morgan vetoed the City Council resolution, giving Garrett A. Morgan $2000 for heroic services rendered the city, at its request, in the 1916 tunnel disaster, he did not know anything of the merit of Garrett's side of the controversy but accepted Mayo Fesler's says to Assistant City Solicitor Clum. This City Manager Morgan admits, according to Garrett A. Morgan. This is almost as bad as his appointment of Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, with the assistance of the "Blossom Triplets" and Rev. Horace "Blossom" Bailey. If Mayor Arthur R. Johnston of Miles Heights Village, who also serves as county sewer-forman, is holding two jobs contrary to law, of course he will be obliged to give up one of them. This he expresses himself as being perfectly willing to do, if necessary. But the tearful thing about it all, from Mayo Fesler's view-point, is that Johnston says he will "never resign the post of Mayor". This is simply too bad, because that is exactly what Mayo was and is after in his effort to please the Kluxers and others of their prejudiced kidney throut the city, on the Heights, all the Heights adjacent to the city. That Fesler is prejudiced like many others in this community, we were thoroly convinced of, years ago. "THE TRIPLETS" "PLAINT." All the publicity in Wednesday's daily-papers anent the superintendency of the garbage plant was inspired by "The Blossom Triplets," and is additional positive proof that they still "do not know what it is all about." They are complaining like children, to City Manager Daniel E. Morgan that the editor of The Gazette is "backing Wallace E Stokes, a World War veteran and for 14 years an employee of that department of city work, more than half of that time acting superintendent of the plant." How silly! The Gazette only named the available persons for the place, calling attention to the fact that Councilmen George, Bundy and Payne had endorsed Sidney Thompson, Seth Nicks and Ormond Forte, an employee of the department, only to back down from their endorsement of the first two and return to their vain support of the last-named, when Stokes was far away the best and most competent of the four. It would be silly for us to "back" anyone for the place, and since we are not one of "The Blossom Triplets" how could we do such a thing? It was our duty as a newspaper to give our readers the information we did relative to the candidates for the place, etc. "The Triplets" themselves are "crashing" a provision of the charter in asking City Manager Morgan to appoint anyone, especially Forte, and should stop making themselves simply ridiculous by complaining to Mr. Morgan, who knows better, and to the susceptible newspaper reporters at the City Hall (who also ought to know better) about alleged activity on our part in behalf of any particular candidate for the superintendency of the garbage plant. When the editor of The Gazette / recalls how hard he worked for the election of George, Payne and Bundy, last fall, he cannot refrain from exclaiming, "Lord have mercy, have mercy!" SOME DAY THEY WILL GET IT The first of the week an Alabama editor by the name of Pierce and U. S. Senator Black of that state clashed before the Senate Committee on prohibition. Black called Pierce a coward, and Pierce called Black a liar. Each invited the other outside to settle it, but neither of them left the room. Black finally apologizing to the committee for the "cracker" display of temper and harsh language. Such exhibitions upon the part of southern members of Congress are common and will never be stopped until a few belligerent northerners give them the "trimming" at the nation's capital blatant southerners have been inviting ever since the assault, many years ago, on Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. They are always very "brave" when they can "gang" a "Negro" in the South or anywhere else, but fall as a rule to display courage and pugnancy when alone in the South or anywhere else. Pierce and Black were inviting each other outside and praying the good Lord the invitation would not be accepted. And they got away with it, too, as usual. WATCH BLOSSOM; City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom returned, Monday night, with his family from a two-week vacation at West Palm Beach, Fla. Among his first duties, we are told, will be to make arrangements for the construction of the proposed building, No. 3, in the group of tuberculosis hospitals at Warrenville, and to consider the question of establishing "an East-Side emergency hospital, close to the downtown district," to take the place of Lakeside Hospital which is to move into its new quarters in University Circle, this fall. Our people of this community had better watch Blossom's "East-Side Emergency hospital, close to the down-town district," so as to make sure it will not turn out to be a "jim-crow" hospital after all. He and City Manager Daniel E. Morgan toled and "soft-soaped," respectively, "The Blossom Triplets" and the Rev. Horace "Blossom" Bailey into "wailing" their opposition to Blossom's reappointment as city welfare director, and thus violating their earnest and oft repeated pledge to our people of their councilmanic districts, but must not be permitted to slip anything else over on our people of this community. So keep a sharp eye on Blossom and that "East-Side Emergency hospital, close to the down-town district." --- CHAPIN RESTAURANT AFFRAY Where the Communists were wrong in their Chapin Restaurant trouble of week before last was in their invoking "strong-arm" methods in retaliation for the refusal of service to one white and two of their Afro-American members. The result thus far, to be found elsewhere in this paper, makes this fact perfectly clear. One is rarely, if ever, justified in or out of the courts in taking the law into his own hands, as was done by the Communists when they "cleaned out" Chapin's restaurant for the reason stated. Judge Alva R. Corlett in summing up the case, last week, made all this perfectly clear; also reminding the offending parties that Ohio had an effective Civil Rights law under which the three aggrieved persons and their friends should have sought in the courts the redress provided for in the law. It is not too late for them to do so, and The Gazette urges them to start the three good cases at once they have, particularly because the misguided "strong-arm" methods invoked by the Communists caused the restaurant proprietor to sustain loss which the judge's sentence requires them to make good in cash. Take the Chapin restaurant refusal to serve into the courts and make it cost A. E. Chapin, proprietor, just as much as possible! The Senator Always Ready In the recent trial of an action (to quiet the title to some valuable real estate) before Judge Fred H. Wolf of Napoleon who was sitting in our common pleas court on order of the state supreme court, Ex-State Senator John P. Green beat the record, by announcing himself ready and trying and gaining his case, alone without his client or any witness. Under Senator Green's objections the opposing party, who with her attorney was in court, failed to answer any questions, was beaten and the judgment rendered for Mr. Green's client. "In my sixty years' practice at the bar, I have never had such a unique, successful result, under similar circumstances," says the Green "Another Jim-Crow School." El Centro, Cal. — "Prof. W. A Payne, who claims to be a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, has opened a "jim-crow" high school here for our and Mexican students. There is really no excuse for this because he is a graduate of California's public schools open to all. "The perfessure" needs a job.

AL Our mo-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 MOBS Section 6278.

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 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. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a KEEFE, YOU KNOW A GOOD DEAL ABOUT FIGHTING I'll SAY I DO, WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO FIGHT? 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.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, 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 the court controls negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed white a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1204. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of a bar, restaurant, eating house, bar, public reception 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 amenities, facilities or privileges they shall 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. 1294. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars in person aggrieved thereby to be received in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

New York City.—A victim to Hoover's "prosperity" and white-ruling class race-prejudice. Waverly Burns, age 34, unemployed "Negro" worker, last Saturday afternoon we were at 1011 151st St. where he roamed, and jumped five stories to his death. Burns had been despondent, having been out of a job and sick for months. That very afternoon he had been refused admission to Harlem hospital and this proved the final straw. At the hospital every effort is still being made by the authorities to cover up the fact that this worker was refused admission. Be it R.

FESLER PREJUDICED: He Would Help the Heights All About Cleveland, Lousy With Kluxe, Get Only This County's Only Aftre American Mayor. Meddling by county officials in the affairs of Miles Heights village, together with a wasteful combination of high-salaried jobs for political friends and relatives, was charged, the first of the week, by May Fessler of the Citizens' league. He said taxpayers of the village would fare better if they joined with Cleveland and rid themselves of "absentee political landlordism, maladministration and political irregularities" that have crept in since, Fessler charges. Arthur R. Johnston became mayor of Miles Heights two years ago. Fessler addressed letters to the civil service commission, County Surveyor Fred R. Williams and County Sanitary Engineer W. J. Rogers. To the commission he said Johnston was permitted illegally to take and pass a civil service examination for sanitary sewer foreman at the same time he held office as mayor, and was also unqualified by experience. The commission was asked to withhold Johnston's name from the next payroll. Affidavits (presented to the commission) alleged Roderick Allan, chief highway inspector in the campaign surveyor's office, was active in the campaign inspector of the "East End Engineering Co." which has a two-year contract for engineering services for Miles Heights village, and was not qualified to take "the farcical civil service examination for the county job he now holds." Johnston's Statement To the foregoing, Mayor Arthur Johnston of Miles Heights village replies by saying that the charges made by Fesler, that he was holding a county post illegally while serving as village mayor, were "far too petty for me to go into details". Mr. Johnston added that if it should be shown that he was holding the post of sewer maintenance foreman contrary to civil service regulations he would resign the job. "But I'll never resign the post of mayor," he said. "I managed to make a living before I worked for the county, and I imagine I could still make a living. I'm 37. I have two children ahogged, and I always managed to get along honestly," he continued. County Commissioner Jerry R. Zmunt said the board of commissioners would immediately investigate Fesler's contention that Johnston and other county employees were holding civil service posts improperly. "If we find that Mayor Johnston cannot legally serve as mayor and as a county sewer foreman, then, of course, he will have to resign one job or the other." In a prepared statement.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930 Johnston said he was "sorry that the information supplied by Mr. Fesler, in the name of the Citizens League, concerning conditions in Miles Heights, was grossly erroneous. Had he taken the trouble to investigate his career, he would have I did not become mayor of Miles Heights until Feb. 2, 1929, although he persists in blaming me for everything which has occurred in this village. In every case his statements are false and without foundation and appear to have been suggested to have been pounded here, as every village has, who, because of my race, which I cannot help but nevertheless am proud of, have been pounding at me for the past year with every weapon at their feeble command. The situation is far too petty for me to go into detail of ideas of life are considerably higher than to mention squabbles with people whose sole aim is in ignorantly retarding progress." Mayor Johnston said he had served as a temporary civil service employee for nearly a year before he was elected to the office that he passed with a high grade.

Tiger's Half-Million Gone Once a champion of the prize ring and reputed to have earned close to a half-million dollars, "Tiger" Flowers, Atlanta, lies in an unnamed grave, and his widow has appealed to the National Boxing association for funds to provide it with a mark. Flowers' brother, the champion was a devout Christian in spite of the fact that he was a prize-fighter. A warranty of $60,000 tollled him into a fight in Chicago with "Mickey" Walker of that city. Of course Walker was declared the winner, although a majority of those at the ring-side declared that "Tiger" had won. The fact is, he had been named the winner of his championship of the middle-weight class which he had won from Harry Greb. "Tiger" was promised a return match, but never given it. On Nov. 16, '27, he submitted to an anesthetic for an operation, and never came out of it. Less than a year later his manager, Walk Miller committed suicide. Flowers is now a clinical viewpoint, is but the old, old story as far as the great majority of prize-fighters are concerned. It is nothing new. RACE PREJUDICE!

By a little manipulation these two shapes can be twisted and turned into siz or eight styles of becomingness. ‘Two of these different versions of the ‘vagabond type are shown In the center of the, sketch, In making elther the snug top or Yagabond beret, first measure the head size around the top of the forehead, ‘over the ears and back to the nape of the neck. ‘This measure is usually 22 to 28% inches, You will require two balls of the cotton yarn for the snug top, and three balls for the vag- bond type.

Recognition of this is given by prac- tically all state highway departments fn the placement of hard-surfaced Pavements. Samuel Eckels, chiet en- gineer of the Pennsylvania department of highways, recently announced Penn- aylvania's noteworthy achievement In Dullding 276 miles of “excellent” con- crete rural roads—pavements on which the motorist eannot detect any per- ceptible vibration. ‘The Pennsylvania demand for the grading “excellent” Is that the “rough- ometer,” heeled device that mens- ures all tiny ridges and valleys in the Pavement surface, shall not show more than 25 accumulnted inches of rough: ness per mite, Pennsylvania's grand average on the 352 milex of new pave- ment tested in 1920 war 19.5 Inches, which menns that sorie miles were all but perfectly xmooth.

Plan to Overcome Hard Starting of Automobile When an engine is hard to start, misses at low or Idling speeds, the trouble may often be traced to the spark plugs, according to an engineer- Ing report-which recommends that the following remedial procedure be em- ployed: Check spark plug gap for correct spacing. If insulator is covered with dry, black soot clean plug; check ear- buretor setting for being too rich; use choke sparingly. If sooting of Insula- tor 1s habitual, change to hotter plug. It insulator 1s covered with wet, soft carton, clean or replace plug: check oil level for being too high or for oll dilution; pistons and rings may need attention. Motor Bus Great Factor in Education in Country Children in rural areas now enjoy educational facilities equal to those found In cities, as a result of improved highways, and approximately 1,250,000 are now transported daily -In_ nearly 42,000 buses, according to the National Association of Motor Bus operators, afMated with the American Automobile ‘aasociation. ‘The change has been wrought by ‘good roads, ‘The American Automobile associa- ton points out that in 1928 there were 15,929 schools served by motor buses, which daily cover 40,868 miles through- out the country. America today spends well over $27,256,788 for these school Ser operations: RHEE e THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q.

IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of wich 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 discrimina- Yon, and are winning even social rights today.

Donaldson, _ political writer for the Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer, very kindly calls the editor of The Gazette's attention to the fact that there is a provision in the City Charter which says that “coun- eflmen shall not interfere in appoint- ments," and yet “The Blossom Trip- lets” (Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy) claim credit for secur- ing the appointment of Harvey At- kins to a clerkship in the city clerk's office, L.

When the Republican. leaders notified them of their ac- quiesance in the choice of Thomp- son, “The Blossom Triplets” backed down and again went to the support of the Forte candidacy.

THREE BOYS NEED HOMES As & result of unemployment the Cleveland Humane Society has the largest number of children on its boarding list in its fifty-seven years of service, and unless it can move the children from boarding homes into permanent homes and make place for children from tho institu- tons, a serious problem is created for all the children’s agencies. The Society is making @ special effort to place a large number of boys and girls from 14 to 16 years old in nor- mal, free and wage, family homes where they can earn’a part or all of thelr board, and assist in their per- sonal expenses. Among them are three promising boys of our race who ned good homes where they may have opportunities for develop- ment. ‘ Edward, ambitious and depend- able, shows marked mechanical abil- ity, has managed a grocery store and fs @ good salesman, The lad is thrifty and is trying to save some money. Edward should be placed in the home of a mechanic or an in- telligent_man who would interest himself in the boy's mechanical de- velopment. James, also age 16, is an ideal boy for ‘a truck farm. At’ present he too is in Bedford in the. frst good home he has had. James needs & 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 i1, 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 ad- Just well in a small town or in a Suburban locality where he can com- plete bis education and assist him- self. ‘The Humane Society believes that there are intelligent, socially-minded | people of our race who could open thelr homes to these boys to their own advantage as well as to the ad- vantage of the boys, and by s0 do- ing give them a good home and an opportunity to help themselves.
