OBERLIN INVITES PUBLIC To Attend the College and Community Annual Illumination Night Festivities — Everything Free and All Welcome. Oberlin, O. — The college and community will celebrate historic annual illumination night, June 16. There will be no charge for anything on the program. The Campus will be decorated with thousands of Chinese lanterns. The business section will be elaborately trimmed with Chinese decorations and residential part of the town will be illuminated. There will be two open air band concerts on the Campus from seven to nine o'clock. During this time the Dudley Allen Art Museum will be thrown open to the public who are invited to see the fine paintings in the picture gallery, the rare oriental art, the Chinese and Japanese art objects, carved ivories, etc. At nine o'clock the famous museum will gather with scores of decorated floats, marching units in unique costume, bands of music, and novel lighting effects. After parading around the campus, in the glow of colored fires and aviation flares, the alumni will gather on the terrace of Finney Chapel for an hour of cheering, singing, and class stunts. All visiting anomalies will be gathered on the evening, under guard. Oberlin plans to keep open house, and invites the public to share in its annual jollification. GIVES CHURCH PROPERTY.

E. church of this city a deed to a piece of property adjoining the church and opposite Poro College, valued at $3,500. Mrs. Malone is a half of the church and our leading philanthropist, a fine Christian woman. BAPTIST ATTACKS RACIAL PREJUDICE! Dr. A. R. Petty, in a Convention Sermon, Also Calls for Christian Unity, Etc. Dr. A. Ray Petty, pastor of First Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo., preaching the sermon of the Northern Baptist Convention in Public Hall, Sunday morning, declared for pacifism, the abolition of race prejudice, the Christianization of industry, and the encouragement of his plea for Christian unity came close upon the heels of the action by which the convention went on record as opposed to any closer co-operation with the Disciples of Christ looking toward the eventual union. "The world is still impenetrated with the age-old hatreds of race." Dr. Petty said. "The fallacy of a chosen people still inheres in much of our modern nationalism. The protagonists of Nordic superiority raise their voices in behalf of a super-Nordic humanity. We still draw our color lines. We are antagonistic when we are forced into proximity with those whom we conceive beneath us. However, this is changing. But how much more rapidly could we speed the progress if we were standing where Jesus stands. We may continue to hold ourselves aloof, but we are holding ourselves away from our brothers, away from our Christ. It may seem expedient, it may be policy, it may be diplomacy, it may make for seeming progress to keep our lines of segregation and to refrain from the comity of co-operative fellowship. It may be these, because God is the Christ. Where does Jesus stand in the Protestantism today? This is a question of immediate import. He stands for unity. If we believe that he is the 'same yesterday, today and forever', then we must believe that there he still stands. Christianity has given itself to one shepherd, but we are in many folds. Rituals, creeds, organizational differences and denominational rivalries separate us. The time has come for us to discover our eternal agreements; to merge our faith in one great Christian endeavor. Some day we might have. He prayed we might be, even as He and the Father are one. It is given to us in our organization to speed that triumphant achievement. Bigotry is disappearing. Would that all our rivalries of denomination might cease, so that we might develop a dynamic of mutuality in our endeavor to win the world for Him." GOLD STAR MOTHERS 55 REFUSE "JIM CROW" New York City. — The N. A. A. C. P. has announced that 55 of our Gold Star mothers have declined, to make the pilgrimage to the graves of their sons in Europe, under rules the War Department has laid down providing for segregation by color. The mothers have appealed to President Hoover to abolish the ruling, the announcement says. The War Department's attitude a "gratitudous insult." "Twelve years after the armistice," our Gold Star mothers say, "the high principles of 1918 seem to have been forgotted. We who gave and who are colored are insulted by the implications that we are not fit persons to travel with other bereaved ones. Instead of oiling the stones of oilers on the basis of geographical location, we are set aside as a separate group, "jim crowed," segregated and insulted." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BY THE U. S. SUPREME COURT COUNTY PROSECUTOR RAY T. MILLER'S MOTION PUT IN "COLD STORAGE" PROMPTLY. "Bread Cast Upon the Waters" by Former Councilman Fleming, Fifteen Years Ago—Cohen, Howard, Bishop Carey, DePriest and Others. Washington, D. C.—County Prosecutor Ray T. Mellor of Cleveland, O. lost his fight here, Monday, to send former Councilman Thomas D. Fleming to the Ohio Penitentiary at once to begin serving his sentence, when the U. S. Supreme Court ordered Fleming's appeal. Miller "never had a chance." The refusal of the court to recognize his motion means that Fleming's appeal to it will not be taken up until it reconvenes, Oct. 6. Monday was the court's last day before the summer adjournment. Miller and Martin, the latter Fleming's attorney, left immediately after adjournment of court for Cleveland. Miller had been here Thursday, and was on Friday. Two court rules that headed off Miller's effort here were that which said no new motions would be considered the week before adjournment, and that which allowed thirty days to elapse after the filing of an appeal for submission of a jurisdictional statement. These rules he should have known of. Martin had the jurisdictional statement prepared for the trial. Miller's attempt was successful. Fleming will be on bond until the Supreme Court disposes of his case. It is his last court resort in his long fight, to win freedom, since his conviction in February, 1929. AN APPRECIATION Sent Former Councilman Thos. Fleming By the Editor of a Loading Race Paper, "The Chicago Whip." Chicago, Ill. May 23, 1930. Mr. Thomas Fleming. Missouri. My dear Mr. Fleming:—Permit me at this time, probably the darkest hour in your public career, to express to you my heartfelt sympathy. It has been my privilege to meet you occasionally on your visits to Chicago, but I am certain that you would not remember me. Our meetings were only casual and did not admit of anything that would cause you to recall them. This letter is prompted by virtue of the fact that you did me kind love, and that you are a perfect stranger in the year 1915. I had at that time completed a business course at Oberlin College and came to Cleveland looking for a job. The outlook was everything but hopeful and encouraging. I knew no one there that could be of the slightest help to me and my finance was extremely low, as is the case with all colored students who work their way through college. I had exhausted all possible avenues in my quest for a job, encountered during your every encounter, finally wandered, unacquainted, into your office which I believe at that time was on the second floor of a building in Central Ave. You gave me the heartiest, warmest and most congenial reception during that scorching summer afternoon when I felt beaten and discouraged. Everything seemed against me. You talked with me fully an hour about the trials and tribulations that you confronted during your life, as a law student I had made to you, and in present discomfort to experience that all colored boys have to meet in a world built on white ideals. I have never forgotten that meeting because it came at a time when a young man had about reached the decision which begins with the words: "What's the use!" At the close of our conversation you gave me a letter of recommendation to the Y. M. C. A. secretary and to the Y. M. C. A. secretary and to the selected financial condition that existed with the party of the second part. While I did not get a position in Cleveland, I charge what later success I had in a large measure to the inspirational talk I had with you on that summer afternoon. I cannot force myself to believe that the principles of Tom Fleming are any different today than they were on the day that I first met him. On the contrary I would grant that years had mellowed them. The many years of public service you have enjoyed have brought you closer to human sufferings and to human suffering, but beyond your benevolent spirit; not narrow it. To face a reverse in life is no easy task. You may imagine that "thumbs are down on you," or that you are walking alone. But don't feel this way.

The darkest hour is just before the break of dawn, and it is my sincerest hope that this line of the poet will symbolize your case. It may be true at this time that friends of former years, whom you have doubtless helped, are not as near and close as they should be. Overlook that as many of them have among Negroes whose cultural development has been sadly neglected. They know no better. Those who are not friends to you now never were. Those who were will always be and work along with you in the "come-back," which will surely be even if the worse comes to pass. May I point to the life of Roswell Johnson of Indiana. Four years ago he went to Atlanta. Today he is Mayor of Gary, Indiana. I wonder if the Negroes of Cleveland realize that if you are of African descent a persecution also to their political ambitions and advancement? I wonder do they see in the trial and conviction of Tom Fleming that it's a "white stab" at the heart of Negro leadership? Innumerable white men who preach that "white is honest-black dishonest" will regard it a noble victory. I say these things because I know the weakness of Negroes when white men enter the arena to divide and rule. The debate that has been interesting has been glaringly focused within the past few years. Let's call for proof: Walter Cohen of New Orleans was first to feel it. He was accused of defrauding the government. He was acquitted. Perry Howard was indicted in Mississippi. He was acquitted. Redmond and his son of Jackson, Miss., were indicted and acquitted, and are now residents of another state. Bishop Carey is facing trial in Chicago now. Oscar DePriest was indicted and acquitted. Dan Jackson was indicted and died under the strain. Ben Davis of Atlanta has to travel the street of Atlanta under body guard. Tidrington of Indiana was slain and later painted with slime by the defense lawyer at the trial of his slayer who is free today. Louis B. Anderson and Bob Jackson, Chicago alderman, are the frequent objects of attack by the white press. And now it's Tom Fleming of Cleveland. What more awakening could Negroes of any city want? You are making a game fight and the greatest virtue of it is that you have a splendid wife who is bearing the burden with you. Of her, too much cannot be said. You are fortunate in having her with you at this hour. I trust this letter did not bore you. I have had the urge to write it for several days to repay in a small way the kind favor you granted me fifteen years ago. I wish that I could do more. With kindest regards, I have the honor to remain. Yours very sincerely. Lucius C. Harper, Editor, "The Chicago Whip." The Lad Was Arrested for Living With His Girl. Providence, R. I.—On a serious charge, involving a 15-year-old white girl, Howard Douglas, age 21, was found guilty after a short trial an district court, last week Tuesday, and held to the grand jury in $1,000 bail. Testimony revealed that Douglas and the girl sometime ago had sought a marriage license but failed to obtain it. Hence, they lived together secretly. Then the young couple again sought a license, but were arrested at the license bureau in the city hall when police responded to a call from a prejudiced clerk who would not believe the girl was old enough to marry. She admitted her minority, but emphatically stated her willingness to marry her sweetheart. On that you you your To ask. are ilk- ay. Find "Dead" Convict Alive! Columbus, O., May 31.—Officials at Ohio penitentiary today found Peter Parenzo, age 69, Summit county Negro, among convicts in the prison after he had been listed as one of the 220 who died in the fire of April 21. Identity of the person buried in Eastlawn cemetery as Farenzo was undetermined. Farenzo was serving a life term from Summit county for first degree murder.

Mark our prediction. --- Ed Bang, chief-sport writer of The Cleveland News, gave Robert A. Corom, age 73, of Lakewood, better known as "Bob," a splendid写 up including his portrait in Saturday or Sunday's Cleveland Daily News. This was in honor of Bob's forty years' service at the Cleveland baseball park, where since April 11, 1890, he has been employed, and witnessed something like three thousand games. It is hardly necessary for us to say that all of the things said by Ed Bang of our long time friend, Robert A. Corom, are fully deserved. OUR GOLD STAR MOTHERS. The protest of fifty-five of our Gold Star mothers, filed, last week, with President Hoover, against their "jim-crow" segregation on a pilgrimage to their sons' and husbands' graves in European cemeteries and battle fields, was followed promptly with an announcement from the War Department, issued thru Acting Secretary Davidson, to the effect that "the racial grouping decided upon after the most careful consideration of the interests of the pilgrim themselves would be observed." This was intended to forestall, if possible, any favorable consideration by President Hoover of our Gold Star mothers' protest. Davidson added that "there was no discrimination whatever between the various groups; each group to receive equal accommodations, care and consideration," and that "separation into groups was necessary to provide suitable accommodations for all." All of which is nothing but hokum, pure and simple. It is true that the white Gold Star mothers who made and will make the pilgrimage to Europe were divided into groups, but not on racial grounds as in the case of our Gold Star mothers. This fact, Davidson's hokum seeks in vain to cover up. It surely ought not to fool President Hoover, as intended, who has only to speak the right word to convince Acting Secretary Davidson that his "racial grouping" will not be permitted. Will the President speak the words? We shall soon learn. IGNORED BY THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. Just as The Gazette predicted in its issue, last week, the U. S. Supreme Court turned down flat County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller's "political gesture"—his request for a immediate decision as to whether "the next sitting," in Judge Carrington T. Marshall's Ohio Supreme court stay of execution of sentence in the Fleming case, meant the October term of the U. S. Supreme court or its week's meeting which opened, May 26, and closed, Monday, June 2. The court simply ignored Miller's "motion" for an elucidation entirely unnecessary. It knew that Judge Marshall, an exceptionally able jurist, knew what he was doing when he wrote "the next sitting of the U. S. Supreme court"; that that expression could not possibly be construed as meaning "the next meeting" of that august body, and of course, it did not expect that the local prosecuting attorney would carry his political "playing to the gallery" (in an effort to assist his campaign for re-nomination and rejection, this fall) clear to the Nation's capital. What a harrowing experience it must be for our doughty county prosecutor to be so publically ignored by what is frequently referred to as the most important one of the three co-ordinate branches of the greatest American government. And by the same token, we will not withhold an expression of appreciation of the good work done to date by former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's attorney, Alex H. Martin, and Martin's legal advisers. And Judge F. H. Kramer's decision will stand too, now! --- BOYD AND HOPKINS WON'T DO. When Dr. Chas, H. Garvin was building his home in Wade Park Ave., several years ago, a miserable effort, which was given entirely too much publicity in the local and other Ohio daily newspapers, to prevent Garvin's occupancy of his home when finished, was led by Atty. Wm. H. Boyd, chairman of a committee of the prejudiced residents of Wade Park Ave. in the vicinity of the Garvin home. This places Boyd, as a probable candidate for the Republican nomination for U. S. senator, in the same category as the other probable local candidate, Wm. R. "City Hospital" Hopkins, as far as the 150,000 or more male and female Ohio Afro-American voters are concerned. Wm. H. "Wade Park Ave." Boyd and Hopkins are infinitely more objectionable to them than Senator Roscoe C. McCullough, who does not seem to have committed such a terrible crime (from a racial viewpoint), when he voted for the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, as newspaper publications of several weeks ago indicated and the near future will make clearer, we feel sure. THAT "SCROLL OF DISTINCTION I have been unable to learn of any regularly constituted citizens' committee, local or otherwise, purported to have J. Walter Wills, Sr., as chairman and Norman L. Medhee as secretary, that is alleged to have issued the "Scroll of Distinction" to Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., Anthony Overton and Robert S. Abbott of Chicago, Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh and Alex. H. Martin of this city. As a matter of fact, persons alleged to have been members of said committee, have very readily assured me that they had no knowledge whatever, previous to May 31, 1930, of Wills' alleged citizens' committee authorizing him, or anyone else, to issue anything of the kind, beyond a "large folder invitation" sent to them prior to May 31, 1930, by Wills. Therefore, the "Scroll of Distinction" given to the individuals named in the foregoing, is practically worthless because it represents the opinion, as far as Cleveland and Ohio are concerned, of but one or two persons. It certainly is a queer proceeding, to say the least, and takes what seems to me to be a very unfair advantage of Messrs. Hawkins, Scott, Abbott, Overton, Vann and possibly Martin. "The citizens of Ohio have" NOT "selected the persons named," or others, "from a growing line of leaders who have rendered and are rendering exceptional service in their respective fields, as worthy of marked commendation and honor." As an exhibition of "nerve," the issuance of those "Scrolls of Distinction" is about the most stupendous ever seen or heard of in this section of the country. Trusting you are in good health and with best wishes always, I am sincerely. OUR CINCINNATI CANDIDATE. June 3, 1930. Atty. Wm. B. Bush, 22 Temple Court, Cincinnati, O. Dear Sir and Friend:—Your letter of the 31st ult., just received. Please accept sincerest congratulations and tell all of our people of Hamilton County to make the Republican organization's endorsement of your candidacy mean something material by voting as a unit for your election to the Ohio Assembly, on election day, in November. The failure of the promised "Coolidge good times" to arrive during the last four years of his incumbency of office, coupled with the failure of the "promised Hoover prosperity" to arrive, to-date, has resulted in an economic condition that cannot but prove very harmful to Republican success at the polls, this fall. Add to this other and minor issues and you will appreciate fully the absolute necessity of a united effort, upon the part of our people of your county, in your behalf from now until after election, this fall. The miserable prejudice that causes our candidates to receive less votes than others on the same ticket must also be taken into account. Make this all clear to our people of Hamilton county just as soon as you can. You will find no one in the state of Ohio who will more earnestly and honestly wish for your triumphant success on election day, this fall, than Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. P. S. Command me!

WE ANT TO PRAISE THAT SHOT UNTIL WE SEE IT WE'VE BEEN SHOTIN' AT YOU TOO LONG 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. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of Section 6279. (49 v. 161. 3.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (49 v. 161. 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, mails or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars from the county in which the assault is made. (v. 161 4. 1) Section 6281.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: IBS. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob last another county. Section 6288. 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 there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner and 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 enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, the right to enter the place to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities 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 hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will 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. HERES AN OPPORTUNITY!

AROUSED BY LYNCHINGS Commission on International Co-operation Blames Official Neglect. Atlanta, Ga. — Pointing to four lynchings in the south in as many weeks, the commission on interracial co-operation in a statement, Monday, placed responsibility for the mob violence on "official neglect and local religious indifference." American lynchings probably do more than anything else to discredit Christianity at home and abroad. Practically every lynching means that some officer has neglected his duty or surrendered to the mob. Reasonable vigilance would have prevented most of them," the statement said. E, AL IF YOU DO, ILL GIVE YOU A PRIZE YEH, SACK, IF YOU'RE ARRIVED TO SHOOT NOW. LET SOME ONE WITH NERVE HAVE THE HONOR! GOV. SIR. WM. PHIPPS. Boston, Mass.—The first royal governor of Massachusetts was Sir Wm. Phipps, a "Negro." The English knighthood and $1,500,000 were awarded him by the British government when he recovered gold bullion valued at many millions of dollars from a wrecked Spanish ship. In 1690, after capturing Port Royal in Nova Scotia, he was appointed first governor of the colony. Sir William, also says history, died Feb. 18, 1694, in London, England. Wm. Russell married a member of the children. The two had two children. She divorced him and the children were given to her mother with $10 weekly which Russell was to pay. Russell has married an Italian beauty of this city, but earns only $33 weekly. The judge has just decided that he and his wife must live on $23 weekly. Hannibal Council, A. U.

Tell Bundy to stay where he belongs and not to come down in the 11th ward because he iy hot wanted, and if he wants a bathhouse and playground to have one built in his own ward. What is the trouble with Councilman Payne? He is never on the job. \ ‘Sincerely yours, Republican Subscriber. The executive committee of the N. A. A. C.

LOUIS MEYER TO HAVE SWIFT CAR Machine Will Have Rear Wheel Drive and Be Driven by Spur Gear. There has been a good deal of gossip concerning the car Louis Meyer will drive in the 1930 Indianapolis 500-mile race, but the actual facts were not disclosed until a few days ago when Alden Sampson, head of the Sampson-Meyer-Brett racing combination came into Indianapolis to arrange for quarters where the car will be built. The car will be named the Sampson Special. Its 16-cylinder motor will be made up of two banks of eight cylinders. The car, a rear-wheel drive, will be driven by a spur gear off the rear end of a separate crankshaft for each of the banks. The cylinders will be of 2/5/16 bore to 3-inch stroke and the motor will have displacement of 201 cubic inches. Conforms to Specifications. Otherwise the car will conform to all the specifications of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway corporation for the 1930 race, which will start this year at 10 o'clock a. m. on May 30, as usual. "The three of us worked for weeks on the design and the motor blocks have already been made and machine work on them is about finished." Sampson said. "Riley Brett is coming on from the coast and from then on we will go at top speed to finish the car." Asked who would be the riding mechanic with Meyer, Sampson said he did not know. There will be a thou- musts pour into the workshop with doubt, but Sampson intimated that he considered the mechanic's seat highly important and that he might ride with Louis in the first race for two-man cars since 1922 on the greatest automobile race course in the world. Sampson is the most pictureque figure in racing in America. He was an automobile dealer in Ohio two years ago when he met Louis Meyer. They both were men of few words, of about the same height and general build. Louis was a mechanic for Frank Elliott. Two weeks before the 1923 race Louis wired his friend in Ohio that he had a good buy in a race car if Alden had the money. Alden had it and came to Indianapolis, where the car was bought. So well did Louis justify the investment that he won first place that year. The same year Sampson bought a car from the Frank Lockhart estate and Meyer drove it into second place in the 1929 race. Work of Trio Divided. The work of this winning trio is well divided. Sampson watches the money end. Louis Meyer does the driving, and does it so well that he won the A. A. A. driving championship in 1928 and 1929; Brett who has worked on more winners than any other racing car specialist, has the responsibility of seeing that the car is always in tip-top shape mechanically. This rare combination has made a trio to conjure with where seconds mean thousands of dollars. The public will be much interested to see how the 16-cylinder car—the first one of its kind for track in America—will perform. With its background it can almost be written for a place well up at the finish. Exhaust Clears Fog in Front of an Automobile Hot air sprayed out in front of an automobile by an attachment on the exhaust of the car has been found effective in clearing away London's time-honored fog, the American Automobile association reports. The rising current of heated air created by the device, a recent invention, literally lifts the fog about ten feet in front of the front wheels and does it quickly enough to permit a forward speed of about fifteen miles an hour in the densest fog. The fog lifter can be attached to any car's exhaust and is much simpler than the average windshield wiper. It has been tried out in London and is being adopted by motorists there.

Effective Motor Cut-Out Is Easily Constructed An easily built and effective motor cut-out can be constructed from an old tin can and a few discarded parts, as shown in Fig. 3. Remove the exhaust pipe and cut a large hole in it. Cut holes in the ends of the tin can so that it will slip over the pipe.

The hole in the exhaust pipe can be cut most casely by sawing a V-shaped notch in the pipe with a hack saw. Notch area should equal pipe cross section.—Popular Science Magazine. Watch Motor Car Brakes During Severe Weather Most any brake adjustment will work reasonably well in warm dry weather, when roads are dry and everything works freely; but much greater care must be exercised in winter, when roads are slippery and brake bands and joints are covered with mud and ice. Have the brakes looked after frequently to be sure that they take hold evenly and the movable joints should be frequently oiled with thin penetrating oil and if possible covered to prevent mud and ice from freezing on them and locking them. In driving, one should use the brakes very cautiously, as a sudden application of the brakes is almost sure to cause a skid, and even a slow pressure may produce the same results if the brakes are badly off in adjustment. AUTOMOBILE HINTS If the car has a backing light, reverse never should be used as a brake when the car is left parked. It drains the battery. Another part the motorist must remember not to tighten too much is the water pump shaft-packing gland. The shaft must run free. "The shoe manufacturers say we do not walk enough." This is important, we think. Whereabouts downtown do the shoe manufacturers park their cars? Beginners are apt to overchoke the engine when starting. It is often unnecessary to use the choke at all, especially in warm weather or shortly after you have been running the car. Motorists long have been warned not to touch the head of the speedometer and not even to let the average mechanic work on it. Speedometers are delicate instruments, like fine watches. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1930 FROCKS OF SATIN-STRIPE SHIRTING ANSWER CALL OF YOUNG MODERNS M COSTUMES FOR BEACH FANS MOSTLY A MATTER OF PAJAMA ENSEMBLES WIRE WORLD PHOTO A MULTITUDE of lovely weaves, colorings and fascinating effects come under the caption "sports silks" this season. The best of it is, no matter how delicate their pastel blues or pinks, eggshell shades, pale greens, yellows or any of the other delectable thuts, these enchanting silks, whether shantung, flat crepe or what not, are capable of being rubbed and tubbed without sacrificing an lota of their original beauty. And that's the marvel of it that silks can be so exquisitely lovely and at the same time so practical be cause they are washable, and because they yield so satisfactorily to tailor treatment. While the list of popular sports silks is long this season, when it comes to outstanding types, the handsome striped shirtings rank among the foremost. One of the chief charms of these striped silks is their incomparable haundering qualities. The new basque stripes are especially attractive. These feature satin strites on a dull-finish creep background, the entire carried out in monotone pastel. The colors of these basque-stripe silks are perfect, including the much-wanted baby blue, odd shades of pink, mauve, beige and yellow. In fact they are available in any of the new summer soft subtle tones, also quite a few bright shades. For the sleeveless tennis frock pictured the stripes are worked in a very designful manner, thus enhancing the COSTUMES FOR BEA A MATTER OF I VACATIONING at the beach? Well, for such fashion has an intensely interesting message in regard to that ever recurring what-to-wear problem. Fact is the clothes question for beach fans has for the most part resolved itself into a matter of pajama ensembles. And such ensembles! They are all that their name implies, ensembling as they do about every item of wearing apparel there is to ensemble from beach bags, shoes, wraps, shirts, blouses, costumes and trousers to parapois and huge huts. Whencefore it is plain to be seen that beach costuming has become an elaborated and complicated affair. It's heaps of fun, just the same, planning one's beach togs, if for no other reason than that there's one time one may be as reckless and tem-peramental as one pleases, indulging in the wildest extravagances of color, fabric and design without fear of being criticized. In fact the more bizarre the merrier, seems to be the sentiment of the mode when it comes to garbing those who would stroll on the sands, take a dive or a dip in the ocean blue or loll in supreme content while they acquire a healthful suntan. y Your Copy or an Acqu appearance of the frock, at the same time maintaining a coveted tailored simplicity. The summer sports story so far as the making of frocks is concerned is a continuous recital of interesting detail which has to do with such subtle touches as the new cap and puff sleeves, low decolement suntan backs, scallops, saw-toothed edges, belts, buttons, one-piece frocks, the tuck-in blouse, pleated skirts (sometimes the costume consists of skirt, shirt an-shorts), and if the skirt be not pleased then it is liable to be circular cut. Most every sports frock has its own jacket, too, which counts in its favor so far as wearability and general utility is concerned. There is every indication that the all-white sports costume will prove a winner as well as the pastel colored outfit. Very frequently the frock is of washable silk, the coat topping it being a novelty woolen weave such as white basket cloth or white channel. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, © 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) ACH FANS MOSTLY PAJAMA ENSEMBLES WINE WORLD PHOTO The outfit illustrated goes to show how exceedingly picturesque a beach ensemble can be. Like most of miady's costumes this pajama outfit with its matching parasol, shoes and beach bag (on the bench at her side) has made it a point to "get into print":—printed crepe in this instance suggesting Mexico in its red and orange coloring. Very striking pajamas designed for gay beach wear fashions the trousers of navy blue crepe polka-dotted in white. The coat is made of navy blue silk with navy insignia on one arm, a white vest be embroidered with an anchor. Pleated pajamas are quite the rage. That is, there is a flounce of knife pletting from above the knee to the ankle. The first impression is that of a skirt with a pleated flounce. The beach hat is a very intriguing item this season, reaching proportions which are amazing, yet withal very practical as a protection from the sun. Not only are straws of every color employed for these hats but novel fabrics are conjured into wide brims and generous crowns. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

WARE Of the Cincinnati Division of The U. N. I. A. Issues a Statement of Facts. Cincinnati, O. — President Wm. Ware of the local division of the U. N. I. A. has issued the following interesting and timely statement: "The FACTS as to why I am taking out an INJUNCTION against the group of members who pulled out from Cincinnati Division, No. 146, of The Universal Negro Improvement Association, incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, and who are functioning as an unincorporated body: I am doing this so that the public of Cincinnati and vicinity will not be mishandled by manhole covers and be treated as been and is being circulated by some of the members of the group. Some of them are saying that I am against Mr. Garvey merely because I do not agree with some of his methods of doing things. But, one can be against the ideas and methods of an individual without being against the individual. I honestly believe that Mr. Garvey is a God-sent man, and I don't believe that anyone can be against the rules of the knowledge that the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are sublime and in them only the salvation of the Negro race. For eleven years I have been espousing and advocating the true and sacred principles of the Association and at that some of the short-sighted and underminding members who were once allied with the Association in Cincinnati Division, No. 146, have accused me of being disloyal and dishonest to the Hon. Man, the Royce, and the worst sort of wrongness. Some have gone so far as to say that I have stolen all of the money and purchased valuable properties for myself, and also sold out the Cincinnati Division to a certain white gentleman. Some of them have even gone to the courts here to see if the records would reveal properties in my name and not being able to find this to be true, they circulated the false propaganda to the effect that the same was in the name of one of my daughters, and they circulated the false name in my grandchildren although the records of the courts do not show where any properties were ever purchased in their names. Now, there are many virtues involved in the matter at issue. They are: The principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, my good name, character and worldwide reputation as a race man. Therefore, I do not intend to allow anyone to drag these virtues in the gutter, as it were; nor will I allow this stigma to me, my children, and my grandchildren, which may be a disadvantage to them all through life, without trying to offset same, and especially after my eleven years of honest, loyal and untiring service and sacrifice for this organization. I might state further, that after certain investigations shall have been made someone has got to account for the scandalous and sedious propaganda that has been and is being circulated against me in an attempt to injure my high-standing and world-wide reputation as an advocate of right and justice for my race. It is my honest belief that the Hon. Marc Garvey is unaware of the treacherousness of certain individuals and groups who are thus trying to divide the organization for their own personal profit and benefit. It has never been his intention to have the organization split up in different little groups but it has always been his policy to organize the Negro and other groups they divided into different factions, one fighting the other. William Ware, President, Clint'ti Div. Incorporated, Universal Negro Improvement Association. GILPIN FUNERAL HELD IN HARLEM! His Body Reinterred After Fellow Thespians Pay Tribute — "The Emperor Jones" Was Too Far Away. New York City.-Haramel did honor, Sunday, to Charles S. Glipin, actor. Dissatisfied with the small turn-out at the funeral services held in Trenton, N. J., May 12, and his place of burial at Lambertville, N. J., friends has the body disinterred, and the funeral services. The little funeral parors of Duncan Brothers were packed with stage celebrities of the race, and out in the street, hundreds gathered to hear the strains of his favorite hymn echoing into the street. There wasn't room to accommodate himself those who wanted to share the hustles for the known actor. A memorial service will be held every year, on June 1. Jesse A. Shipp, the Abraham of the cast of "The Green Pastures," and an old friend of "the Emperor Jones," explained that after the first funeral many friends of the dead remembered passed regret that his burial had been so obscure and far from Broadway. "We have been criticized for disturbing the dead," said Mr. Shipp, "but our friend was buried near a railroad track, where the earth rumbled and his bones could not rest in peace. It was too far away for his friends to reach the executors of his estate decided that we would have this second funeral service and would bury him in Woodland Cemetery. He also said, for some time past he had been advocating the placing of impressive monuments at the graves of performers who had created favorable sentiments for the race. Mr. Shipp said, "People don't realize the value of the stage as an educational force in the elevation of races. It is a question whether the church or stage has done more, in this direction. You all know too much about our friend's accomplishments for me to repeat his history here, but I remember the expression that he particularly liked: "Give me a few friends who will like me for what I am in old age and infirmity; teach me still to be thankful for life and for memories that are old and sweet." "And those friends are here, today." Tears dripped over the folded hands of Lloyd Gibbs, and his usually cheerful countenance was a study in woe as Shipp finished his eulogy. Gibbs played in "Abyssinia" and "Rosean" with Gilpin. ASK GOV, MYERS Y. COOPER FOR RECOGNITION. The Laymen's League, Roy S. Rector, president, and Louis Williams, secretary, last week forwarded a strong set of resolutions to Gov. Myers Y. Cooper at Columbus, requesting him to appoint at least one Afro-American member of the state board of clemency and the state industrial commission. The league also asks for representation for our "men and women of character and standing" among the employees of the commission. All of which is but fair and less than Gov. Cooper promised his Afro-American supporters when a candidate, a year ago last fall. Indeed, Gov. Cooper has practically ignored, in his hundreds of appointments to office, his Afro-American constituents through the great state of Ohio. The appointment of "Rev." W. E. B. Curry, until recent months pastor of a Baptist church in Springfield, to a minor position at the head of a "jim-crow" bureau in the State Charities department is a negative one in that it hurts rather than helps both the governor and our people. It will be recalled, Curry was the "Negro" who opposed his own people and sided with the Ku Klux Klan element of Springfield, several years ago, in the "jim-crow" school fight which it took our people of that city several years to win. Director Hat Griswold of this department, a co-chairman, uncledly made the Curry appointment on the suggestion of Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, and it is about "the sum and total" of all the recognition given our people of the state of Ohio by the governor.
