A High School the Ambition of Father McKenney, Pastor
By Cbarles Ei
Eight years ago, April 11, the Rev. Thomas E. McKenney received his appointment from the Rt. Rev. Joseph Schrembs, D. D. Bishop of Cleveland, to establish Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament parish for the colored people of Cleveland. The parish was established by McKenney read his first Mass for that parish in the Franciscan monastery chapel with an attendance of thirty colored Catholics. With the passing of eight years his parish has grown to 850 devout Catholics. For the past decade, rishioners attended services at the monastery chapel. Then the parish was moved to a little old house at 2348 E. 79th St., between Central and Quincy Ave. This little house constituted Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church, school, parish house and sister house five buildings; the church, dedicated June 25, 1923, and four old frame houses, two of which are used for school purposes, one

Before receiving his present charge, Father McKenney, who was ordained in 1914 by Bishop Farrelly, served in St. Agnes and St. Rose's parishes, Cleveland; St. Joseph's, Maximo and St. Philomena's, East Cleveland and St. Philomena's, East War also served as captain in Amherst Expeditionary Force. The colored people of Father McKenney's parish are real missionaries and every Sunday finds from five to ten Protestants hearing Mass. Ninety-nine per cent of the parishioners are converts. The only drawbacks Father McKenney has are finances. The total collections for the average month never exceed $200; but with donations from his friends and rumage and bake sales held by the colored people he manages to make ends meet. Nevertheless, fifty children had to be public school students due to lack of space in the school. Father McKenney's ambition is to build a high school. The school is composed of 225 children in eight grades in charge of seven sisters of the Blessed Sacrament order. Half of the kindergarten children are generally Protestants who within the following few years are

CAMPAIGN FOR JOBS
Chicago, IL.—The local campaign for jobs under the slogan, "Do Not Spend Your Money Where You Cannot Work," is still going strong. The Bankers State Bank (white), has employed Mrs. Jewette Egglestone, a bookkeeper. It already had Mrs. Camille Boger as a savings teller. Afro-American patrons are boycotting the three Woolworth stores and ten cent stores located in our neighborhood, because they decline to employ any of our girls as clerks. The General Meat Market Stores, A. and P., and Piggly Wiggly are being served efficiently by Afro-American clerks now.
converted along with their families.
All of the children are very ambitious and willing to learn. One of the children will become a nun in the Holy Family order. One of the boys is a seminarian at St. Vincent's seminary at Latrobe, Pa. The parish has a colored choir of twelve voices, a branch of the Federation of Colored Catholics in America, a chapter of the Knights of St. John known as the St. Benedict the Moor Chapter and the St. Benedict the Father Chapter, who is very active. Father McKenney hopes to establish a Holy Name Society in the near future. There is also a ladies' sodality known as the Children of Mary sodality. Most of the parish are Afro-Americans, some coming from the South and some from the West Indies, the English possessions Dutch colonies, Portuguese colonies etc. There are three strictly colored Catholic churches in Ohio, the other two being in Columbus and Cincinnati. There are but three colored priests in the United States. A pilgrimage to Oberammergan, starting June 26, will be conducted by Father McKenney and his partner. The money made on it will go to the benefit of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church—Catholic Universe Bulletin.
AN APPRECIATION.
(By Joseph C. Manning)
Prof. Neval H. Thomas, Washington, D. C., educator and outstanding citizen, was a foremost bulwark of human justice. He was impregnable and immovable. There was no walking or riding over him or his fearless and righteous stand. Pity that petty joyoushes sought, now and then, to discourage him. He was too big to be overcome by that, however. He went right on doing his duty marvelously well.
The life-work of this great man, this humanitarian and anyielding contender for just principles is known to his friends. The spirit of the unselfish worker makes alive and secure the splendid work he achieved. We honored the man living. We loved him for his good deeds. We hold him in sacred memory.
Sincerely,
Joseph C. Manning.

PARTY LINES ARE OUT
Washington, D. C.—To the wet "bloc" in the approaching congressional elections there must now be added a new "bloc"; and the effect of both "blocs" is to increase the chances of the Democrats for wining control of the next House of Representatives. Oscar D. Priest, Republican Afro-American representative in the lower House of Congress, is the governor of Illinois, in Chicago, is principally responsible for the emergence of the newest "bloc" which is called "the peoples' movement." The purpose of this movement essentially is to vote for Republican candidates or Democratic candidates or independent candidates in accordance solely with their attitude toward our race. That such a by-partisan or non-parliamental "bloc" should be organized by a legislative body is almost without precedent. Recent reports are that it is going strong in northern and border states congressional districts in which our voters are thickly congregated.
It must readily prove relative in many of those districts, and it has its origin in four main discontents. First—The Republican presidential campain managers of last year discarded all efforts to please Afro-Americans in favor of efforts to please the southern whites. Second—The existing Republican administration has appointed virtually none of our voters to office. Third—Our membership in the
Third—Our membership in the Republican national committee has been practically wiped out.
Fourth—John J. Parker of North Carolina and a Justice of the S. Supreme Court.
Informed professional politicians here take this fire extremely seriously. In the three border states of Missouri and Kentucky and Maryland and in the middlewestern states of Illinois and Indiana and Ohio and in the four eastern states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and New York and Massachusetts, there were 1,158,298 of our people, of voting age, of the last census. By natural increase and by immigration from the far south there are many more now. They have abundantly proved that they can vote for Democrats.
Candidates for Annapolis Cadets.
The Harlem region of New York city contributes heavily to sending to the federal House of Representatives the Democratic Congressman Anthony J. Griffin and Joseph A Cavagan. Mr. Cavagan in recognition of the situation has Afro-American youths on his list of nominees for examination for admission to the Annapolis parral academy. The congressman Oscar DePriest's "people movement" is hashed on the proposition that all of us should be as willing as our people of Harlem are to suit their partisan politics to the race's interests.
A painstaking count shows that in the border states and in the north and east there are at least 25 congressional districts, in which our voters are plentiful enough and are becoming independent enough to be able to make themselves possibly the determining weight or factor in an election. That in these districts there will be defections, next fall, from Republican candidates to the Democrat candidates or to independent candidates virtually inevitable. How large these defections will be is a matter of guess, but that in certain instances they may well turn the scale is sure.
Need Only Fifty-Three.
Need Only Fifty-Three.
The Democrats will be able to victory, the fact that they are dominantly by two forces—the wet "bloc" and the Afro-American "bloc" neither of which have they striven as a party, to create. They now have 165 seats in the House of Representatives. They need to gain but 58 seats in order to have a majority in it. Today, in the House of Representatives there are 54 Republicans coming from districts which were carried by the Democrats either in 1922 or 1926. It is clear enough that recording of a Democratic majority in the House is thinkable, and, in the special circumstances of this year, it is certainly within practical possibility.
The recent local Poro College annual style show at Mt. Zion Cong church proved a very interesting and pleasing demonstration.
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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

But Not Other Intelligent Afro-American Republican Voters—That Belated Medal and Fund Gift.
Washington, D. C. — President Hoover says Dr. Robert Russo Mota, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Institute, has made an "outstanding contribution" to improving interracial relations and convey these sentiments to him in a letter when Dr. Moton received the Harmon medal and $1000 from the hands of Secretary of Interior Ray L. Wilbur.
"No man of either race more clearly deserves such recognition for services that have done so much to increase good-will and, co-operation in a field where these are indispensable to the common welfare." Hoover said.
It is timely to say that Dr. Moton has proved useful to the President in other than the Haitian matter.
OBITUARY—NEVAL H. THOMAS.
Springfield, O.—It was with sorrowful hearts that the many friends of the late Neval H. Thomas gathered at the Patterson funeral parlors, last week Thursday afternoon, to pay their last tribute of respect to Springfield's most noted and honored son. The service was conducted by Rev. W. Arnole of North St. E. Church of which Thomas was a member. Services had also been held at Rankin Memorial chapel, Howard University, Washington, D. C., the Tuesday previous.

P., where he attracted national attention for his bold and unconventional approach to segregation and discrimination in the District of Columbia, principally in the governmental service. The body was accompanied by a profession of floral tributes from organizations and friends at the nation's capital. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. J. H. Baldwin, Ralph, who lives in this city, and the following brothers and sisters: Harry E. of Cleveland; Thomas, of New York City, and George, of Atlantic City, N.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1930.
If for no other reason than Mon-
@ay's fire in the Ohio pen., former
Councilman Tom Fleming was wise
in asking a re-hearing of his case at
the hands of the Supreme court, but
of course he didn’t know it at the
time.

Judge John J. Parker said, last
week, that he would be “very «lad
to appear before the U. S. Senate
Judiciary committee to explain his
attitude toward organized labor and
the ‘Nogro’ race,” according to U. S.
Senator Overman (Dem.) of North
Carolina, He was not asked to de

Judge John J. Parker when the
Republican candidate for governor
of North Carolina, a few years ago,
is reported to have sald that he
“didn't want the xoyernorship if it
had to come thru the agency of a
single ‘Negro’ vote.” Of course he
didn’t get it, and he sought it as a

“DELAY IN THE FLEMING CASE"?
The local daily newspapers, like
County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller,
are becoming very impatient because
of the State Supreme Court's delay
in the Fleming case. Since the first
week in March, there has been pend-
{ng in the court a motion for a re-
hearing of Fleming's appeal, and we
think it is about time the court
granted the request. There is, in
our judgment, no good excuse for
turther continuing the punishment of
Tom Fleming for what he did to
Walter Oehme (deceased). Even if
guilty of the charge, Tom did more
for Walter than he ever did against
him, Ever since early in February
last, year, when convicted, he has
deen umder sentence of two years
and nine months at hard labor in the
Ohié penitentiary, which is punish-
ment sufficient. Even if he is guil-
ty, which he stoutly maintains fs not
the case, with a sentence like that
hanging over his head for very near-
ly @ year and a half, it seems to us
that Tom has had enough of the
severest kind of mental punishment
for what he was charged with and
convicted of doing. He helped Ochme
to live and contributed in no wise te
his recent death. We trust the State
Supreme Court will soon decide to
give the Fleming case a re-hearing
and grant Tom's request for a new
trial, which will undoubtedly return
to him his freedom and former stand-
ing as @ citizen in this community.
“THE GREAT AFFRONT.”
B. G. Voorhees, Republican State
chairman of Missouri, wired U. S.
Senator Patterson of that state, last
week, that “the confirmation of
Judge Parker means that the Re-
publican party might just as well
say “good-bye’ to Missouri for the
next two or three elections at least,”
ead that it “would be the first great
affront given by a Republican Prest-
dent and o Republican senate to the
‘Negro’ race since the days of Abra-
ham Lincoln.”
Chairman Voorhees of course was
only speaking for his own state, and
fet he might have said, the contirm-
ation of Judge Parker would mean
not only the loss of Missouri, but
other northern and horder Repubit-
van states in which there is a large
Afro-American vote. There is no
question in the mind of any intelli
gent person, familiar with the facts,
but what our people have progressed
beyond the point which enables them
to stand such treatment as President
Hoover seeks to visit upon them thru
the Parker appointment_ without
striking back at the first opportunt-
ty which will be presented in. the
next national political contest. But
Mr. Voorhees wag wrong when he
sald that “tho confirmation of Judge
Parker would be the first great. af-
front given by a Republican Presi-
dent to the ‘Negro’ race since the
days of Abraham Lincoln.” The gen-
tleman had evidently forgotten Pres:
ident Roosevelt's “discharge without
honor of ‘The Black Battalion.’ We
haven't, tho there are many of our
so-called intelligent people who have

President Hoover absolutely re-

the Republican party entitles them
to. In this he does not differ from
several of his predecessors, it Ix true;
only he tx the latest guilty Prest

The President's latest is his appoint-
ment of Judge John J. Parker of
North Carolina as a justice of the
U. S, Supreme court, a man who
does not believe in Afro-Americans’
exercising their right or privilege of
voting, at least in elections in his
state. Furthermore, the President
has made perfectly clear to all the
fact that, as far as he is able and
concerned, the Afro-American Re-
publican support has been swapped
for whatever “lily-white” Republi-
ean support he cau secure in the
South. This does not augur well for
Republican success in the next na-
tional contest, to say the least.

This, the result of the fighter's recent unsatisfactory bout with Leon Chevallier in Oakland. The commission also suspended indefinitely Frank Churchill of Los Angeles, manager of boxers and Carnera's representative in California; Tim McGrath, pilot of Chevallier, and the latter's two seconds, Robert Laga of San Francisco and Carnera, representing the investigation of Carrera, amounting to $13,239, and Chevallier, $1500, were held up, but the money will be paid to the fighters because the boxers had carried out their part of the bargain. The commission did not charge either of the fighters with any questionable action. Chevallier is a "Negro."

OF TWEED FROM HAT TO HEMLINE IS THE VOGUISH NOTE FOR SPRING

ing less than outstanding chic for the costume. The models in the picture declare just that—the voguishness of the ensemble made of handsome tweed from hat to hemline. For that matter some of the very smartest tweed costumes go so far as to include shoes and handbag of matching tweed.
'One reason that fashionists are inspired to work tweed for all it is worth this spring is that the light-weightness, the sheerness and the "springy" colors of the new tweeds, make these weaves eminently practical and wearable at the immediate moment; in fact the costume ideal for sports, motorizing, town wear and country club during the coming months will be most often interpreted in lacy tweeds.
The swanky sports ensemble to the right in the picture (Laura La Plante, the pretty blond actress of cinema fame, posing) is fashioned of a gray and green tweed mixture. The one-

WITH entirely new silhouettes, with soft feminizing bows, with graceful and novel peplums (see picture), with mylards of capellets, with brightly prints galore, thus does fashion contribute to vamp us. For a fact, never, at least not in the memory of most of us, have the wiles of the mode proved so irresistible.
Take it in the matter of the perfectly charming little print silk frocks which are gladdening the whole springtime landscape with their presence, really, now, who can think of any woman of her acquaintance who has not yielded to the lure of at least one, if not a half-dozen more or less of these adorable fantasies?
To miarly who is thinking of adding yet another print to her collection, the winsome frock in the picture is sure to prove an inspiration. The print crepe of which this dress is made intermingles the loveliest yellows and capuccine shades and browns on a creamy beige background. Being thoroughly style-conscious, the young woman wears with this delightsome frock brown kid pumps and a brown felt hat. To be correctly costumed, one's footwear and headwear simply must enter into the color scheme, which ac-

piece dress is made with a square neck. In creating the hat, frock and jacket of the same, the designer of this costume multiplies the modishness of grayish-green tweed by three. The other charming ensemble, which is of beige tweed, arrived just recently from Paris. So it is not only the American woman who has become tweed-minded, for la Parisienne is wearing tweed this spring with equal enthusiasm. The designer, in this instance, carries the tweed idea throughout the costume in that the hat is of the identical tweed of the jacket-suit; also the Jersey blouse is tweed-trimmed. Favor for black-and-white tweed is expressed to no little extent in smart circles. It is considered the height of fashion to wear with these black-and-white suits of tweed black and white kid footwear.

counts for the conspicuous display of colorful kid shoes in all leading booties this season. Likewise, the new straws take on the colors of the rainbow, as do the new felts, for the felts are still smart, that is if they are worn during the practical and sports hours of the day.
Returning to the subject of prints, it is interesting to note how certain types are worn at certain hours of the day or for certain occasions. For instance, the little dark yet gay prints of the character in the picture are considered the correct thing for practical utilitarian wear. In this genre the new pin-dots should also be classed. By the way, if you possess not some one thing or another of pin-dotted material this season, say a coat, or a blouse, a frock suit or ensemble—well, then you are certainly losing out in the game of fashion.
When it comes to dressy and formal evening modes, prints make a sudden change, taking on patternings—big, bold and vivid, very frequently on white or light backgrounds. The new printed taffetas are amazingly chic, and the dalnty printed cotton nets are ever so lovely. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (c) 1930, Western Newspaper Union.

PHIL SHAFER TO RACE THIS YEAR
PHIL SHAFER TO RACE THIS YEAR
Freckle - Faced Roly Poly Finishing Two Cars for Indianapolis Race.
Checkling Phil Shafer, red haired, freckle-faced heavyweight champion of automobile racing, is building two cars for the international 500-mile contest to be held at the Indianapolis motor speedway in May.
Shafer, a jolly, poly-food container who holds his weight constant with three really important trips to the grocery store each day, still laughs at the fates which prompted him to sell two race cars—one in 1927, the other in 1928—despite the fact that these self-same cars were driven to victory in those years.
In 1927 Shafer sold a car out of his stable to Bill White, Hollywood racing magnate, who put George Souders, an unknown quantity in the big league circuit, in the driver's seat, and he brought the car home a victor.
Shafer just chuckled as Souders nodded an assent to the checkered flag of victory which released approximately $28,000 to Bill White's eloquent ability to spend. "Okeh with me," laughed Shafer, "the car probably would have stumbled and fallen dead on the home stretch if it was dying my colors." Shafer's stable color is mischievous boy, red—to match his hair and freckles and demeanor. The following year Shafer had two more in his stable. Louis Meyer, a twenty-three-year-old mechanic with driving asperations, asked Shafer if he would sell one of the mounts. "Sure," beamed Shafer, "but what are you going to use for money?" The quiet, shy Meyers asked the price, obtained it, and took an option on the car. This was less than two weeks before the day of the race.
Meyer persuaded Alden Sampson, a boyhood friend who was running a garage in a small Ohio town, to become a racing magnate. Sampson liked the idea, hocked his business and purchased the car from Shafer. Meyer drove it to victory. Shafer's car didn't even finish. The Meyer-Sampson combination collected approximately $40,000 for the victory.
"This is getting to be more serious than a coincidence," was all Shafer said. But he kept on chuckling. The best he had ever been able to do at Indianapolis was third.
Last May Shafer had a car in the race. It finished twelfth.
"But this year I'm going, to race both of my cars," says Shafer, "and maybe I'll have the grill of watching my two drivers fighting it out at 495 miles for the right to see which one comes in first. Wouldn't that be a laugh? And then he chuckled some more.
Gasoline Taxes Paid in
Many States Last Year
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture)
Not counting refunds made, the total amount of the gasoline tax collected by 47 of the states and the District of Columbia in the first six months of 1929 amounted to $175,140,140, says the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, on the basis of figures reported to the bureau. In New York the tax became effective May 1, and the Illinois law did not become effective until August 1. A total of 5,633,872,662 gallons was taxed in the 47 states and the District of Columbia. The average tax paid per gallon was 3.07 cents.
In 1928, gasoline tax paid in the first six months of the year in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and in Illinois for one month of the period, was $140,653,398. The tax in Illinois was collected for January and discontinued in February. Massachusetts and New York had no gasoline tax in 1928. The total number of gallons taxed in the state was 62,333,536, and the average tax paid was 3.02 cents per gallon. All the states now collect a gasoline tax.

Seating Arrangement of Two-Door Sedan Helped
In many two-door sedans there is quite a bit of space between the front seats which can be utilized to advantage, as shown in the illustration. The right-hand seat is mounted on a steel rod so that it can be slid toward the driver's seat. This gives the occupants of the rear seat more room to get out of the door, by sliding the seat to the left. Remove the pins from the front legs of the seat on which it binges, and ream out the holes on both legs and supporting brackets to

receive a piece of 12-inch cold-rolled steel. The right-hand bracket must be moved closer to the car wall, and the other one close to the driver's seat, while the rod must be long enough to allow maximum movement of the seat. The rear-seat passengers get out between seat and door without the front passenger leaving his seat—John L. Blaker, West Auburn, Mass., in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
Never lubricate front springs if the car has a tendency to "shimmy."
In cleaning the radiator with a soda solution, the engine always should be run.
Treads on rear tires wear out quicker by sudden acceleration than by sudden stopping.
American tourists spent a total of $3,500,000,000 the past year, according to the American Automobile association.
One of the most important items of new car care is keeping the water in the cooling system constantly adequate.
After rolling eleven straight strikes in a bowling match at Kaukaun, Wis. Warren Brenzel missed two pins on the last try, depriving himself of a perfect "300" score.
"THE TRIPLETS" IN BAD.
With Councilmen Payne and the Flemings, (Lethia and Tom), squared away for a battle royal for the Republican leadership of ward 11, and Councilmen Bundy and George bitterly opposed by both white and colored constituents in their home wards, the battle to oust "The Blossom Triplets", next year, has started already, according to Sunday's News, which quotes Bundy as saying in his speech at a recent ward meeting: "In the past, we have had leaders who have not only misrepresented us but who have exploited us as well". The foregoing is not half strong enough to fit "The Blossom Triplets", of which he is one. The News, evidently poking fun at Bundy, also said in its Sunday article: "Bundy is a powerful orator." All of which is very, VERY amusing.
While Sunday's "News" kidded the two "triplets" named, Wednesday evening's "Press" was doing the same thing for the other one, Councilman Payne, who, it says, has donned his war paint and also started after Tom and Letha Fleming's political scalps. What a wonderful time "The Triplets" are galloping into and what a trimming they will get next year, in the fall time!
"HE SHOULD WORRY!"
Two colored and one white Communist went into Chapin's restaurant, 220 W. Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., several weeks ago, and were refused service. Judge Alva R. Corlett of the Municipal Court, in summing up the case against them and eight other Communists for "cleaning out" the restaurant (destroying dishes, etc.), is said by local daily newspapers to have asked the Communists who sought the service: Why do you go into a place where you know you are not wanted? First, we desire to say that we do not believe Judge Corlett ever asked any such foolish question, but arg inclined to think that the newspaper reporters put those words in the judge's mouth, in publishing their reports of the affair. Such a question would positively be silly, because a citizen has a legal right to service in all public places. Whether he is wanted in them, or not, is not and should not be of any concern to him. What he wants and has a legal right to is of concern to him. Whether the proprietor, or others, want him in their places or not, we repeat, is not to be considered, nor is it worthy of consideration for a single moment. Judge Corlett knows and understands this thorny, but the reporters apparently do not, or are purposely ignoring the facts stated.
Our young local contemporary has gone over to the Democratic party, "hook line, sinker," it seems. Read the following, from its issue of April 12, '30:
Thirteen enthusiastic young men met at the office of Dr. F. H. Hendricks, two weeks ago and talked about the formation of young men's Democratic club. On last Friday these men met again at the same place and organized, called themselves the Pioneer Democratic Club. Two or three years ago Cleveland had never heard of a local Democratic club among our people. It was more of a disgrace to be a Democrat. Since certain drives have been organized, the Democratic organization, cofounded Democrats have become popular, and even prominent Republicans are talking of joining the ranks—The Call-Post.
There, now. Or as a brother, recently from "down home," has it, "Dah, now!" Our young friend is wrong. There was "a local Democratic club among our people" here in Cleveland long before he stopped wearing "dydies" down in "the Old Dominion" (Virginia). There is, too, some question as to the correctness of the young man's "popular" statement in the foregoing. And as for "prominent Republicans joining the ranks" of the party of U. S. Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina, Hefflin of Alabama, Pat Harrison of Mississippi and their kidney, heaven forbid. That would be "jumping from the frying pan into the fire." We can "see" an Afro-American member of almost any political party except the Democratic party and we have done all in our power for more than forty years to encourage independence of thought and political action; but can never advocate joining the Democratic party which is controlled by the South. We can understand the support, at times, of friendly northern Democrats, in state, county, city and village elections. But only in extreme cases—where the provocation is so great and of such vital racial interest—could we think of supporting Democrats for federal elective positions—electors and members of the Congress. Never can we advocate joining the Blease, Heflin, Harrison outfit.
ROSA
PONSELLE
Rosa Ponselle, the Metropolitan Opera Company's great dramatic soprano, will be heard in two operas during the seventh spring opera festival at Cleveland, May 5 to May 10. The opening night will be "La Glioconda," the opera which she herself has chosen and in which she made her famed debut in England following the Cleveland season of 1929. She will also have the role of "Santuza" in "Cavalleria Rusticana." Her rise from pianist in a movie, through vaudeville, is the heights of the Metropolitan, is one of the most sensational in the history of the great New York company.

Miss Irene Robinette
When thieves knocked over a telephone while ransacking the office of the Greene County Lumber Company of Kenia, O., recently, Miss Irene Robnette, night chief operator for The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, noticed a signal light on her switchboard which indicated that the receiver of a business house telephone had been removed from the hook and not replaced.
After the light remained on several minutes, Miss Robinette, knowing that business offices had been closed, became suspicious and notified the police. The officers rushed to the scene of the burglary but the intruders, taking alarm, had evidently discovered their error and fled. Although a small amount of money was taken, many valuable articles were left behind in the hurried escape.
REPORTERS BOOST TELEPHONE TRAFFIC
Telephone traffic at Wooster and Orville received marked impetus with the new developments of the Melvin Horst mystery during the week of February 17.
Outgoing telephone calls from Wooster were 200 a day above normal, or about double the usual amount, and the increase in Orville was proportionally great.
Most of these calls were from newspaper men, reporting the case.
In a story of such interest, news men on the scene report to their city editors before each edition goes to press. Newspapers of Cleveland, Columbus, Akron and other Ohio cities were represented at Wooster.
Long Necks Recline On Telephone Lines
Although there are many impediments to maintaining telephone service in the system of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, such as sleet and wind, steam telephones digging up cables, marksmens shooting at glass insulators and various other difficulties, this territory is free from giraffes.
In Central Africa these long-necked animals use telephone and telegraph wires for head rests, resulting in frequent breaks, according to George M. Bistany, big game hunter.
