Paris, France. — Hundreds of French and Americans welcomed the Afro-American Gold Star mothers when they reached Paris, Monday. For the first time there was music at the Invalides Station for the mothers. Afro-American residents here saw that. The entire group of mothers was taken to one hotel. Tuesday they will place a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and attend a tea party at the Champs Elysees restaurant. An elaborate entertainment program has been arranged, including a dinner, Aug. 1, to be cooked by an Afro-American army chef, and a boat ride on the Seine.
Secret of Eagle's Soaring Believed Solved!
XOXOX
AVERY SHOWS MODEL OF AFRO-AMERICAN'S NEW TYPE AIRCRAFT. Revolutionary changes in plane construction expected as result of latest development in wings for flying craft, patterned after those of birds that remain in air apparently without effort.
PLANE TO HAVE BIRD-LIKE WING
Construction Started on New Discovery—Tryout With Pilot Planned—Model Used in Tests Rides Against Strong Wind.
(From Los Angeles Times, July 6.) One man, at least, is certain that at last he has wrested from soaring birds their secret of effortless flight. Moreover, he has convinced a large group of engineers, aviation experts and hard-headed business men of it. Construction started here yesterday on an all-metal airplane wing that will fly over the intricate aero-dynamical system that nature gave to the eagle, vulture and albatross, a system that requires no wing flapping or artificial power plant to sustain flight.
The new wing is not an invention —merely, according to the discoverer, the discovery of the birds' secret and perfection of the way it can be flown, but it can be ready within two months for actual flight on a scale large enough to carry a pilot. The Vortex Wing Company, backers of the discovery and headed by men who long have been identified with aviation or in other fields of contributory sciences, makes the announcement to this effect.
MODEL DEMONSTRATED.
The demonstration of a model, weighing sixteen and one-half pounds, with a wing spread of sixty inches, shooting forward into a thirty-mile wind created by propellers, apparently convinced the engineers present that J. H. Montgomery, Los Angeles Afro-American engineer, graduate of the Colorado School of Forests, has mastered soaring flight. The model's vulture-type wing made for aircraft would be superior to the present plane by tripling its lifting power, cutting motor horsepower in half, increasing the pay load 150 per cent, cutting landing speed 60 per cent, reducing take-off distance 90 per cent, and reducing fuel consumption and dead weight, brought about formation of the local company a year ago
BEN S. HUNTER, former vice-president and chief executive of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, heads the new company as president. G. Ray Boggs, formerly with Lockheed, and now president of Nevada Air Lines, is vice-president. Wayland Avery is secretary-treasurer. They placed on an advisory board aero-dynamic engineers, physicists and ornithologists, who for the last year have checked every detail of the fongomete system, the latter as successful as the practical model, it is expected to revolutionize airplane construction and make flying foolproof. The wing under construction will be tested either on a Lockheed fuselage or a smaller one made especially for it. Full protection of its design has been insured in patients, made in a 12,000-word application, said to be the longest on record.
VIEWED BY THOUSANDS.
More than 8,000 persons, most of them engineers, have seen the model perform—actually pick up speed as it heads into the artificial blast. Montgomery first demonstrated his idea with a dead vulture, preserved by him in rigid flying position through a process he developed during eighteen years of experiment. An ordinary airplane model, placed before the wind current, is blown back and upward, and the wing is equipped with the bird-type wing and a motor of only power enough to gain altitude, will be able to fly into the

wind through power, the discoverer has found created in a soaring bird's wing. The feathered principle will be reproduced in the airplane wing by stamping in the metal in exact proportion the details of a vulture's wing. A standard set of airplane controls will be placed in the first ship, with only the addition of a panel on the forward edge of the wing that will be turned up in landing to break the flow of air across the wing and stop the wing's forward thrusting action.
RESULTS OF OBSERVATION.
Montgomery started his experiments while connected with the Guggenheim mining interests in Colorado. He became convinced, through observing eagles and vultures soaring in the sky, that their soaring power lay in their wing construction. He has killed nearly 20,000 birds since then, examining them and compiling scientific facts, completing his final experiments by sending preserved dead birds aloft on small balloons that would burst and allow the rigid birds to soar. One dead bird soared twelve years of inquiry he feet. From his years of inquiry he learned that the wing of a vulture as a whole is an airfloor—a lifting surface—but that it is an airfloor in three directions, from the shoulder to the tip in length; from the shoulder to the tip in a twist on a 45 deg. angle, and in cross-section; that each of the twenty-three feathers is an airfloor, that each feather is made up of three airfloors, or feathers within feathers.
PRINCIPLE EXPLAINED
PRINCIPLE EXPLAINED
He found that the air, striking the wing, starts spiraling, creating minute vacuums (vortices or miniature tornadoes) and going down through the wing from blade to blade, producing any vacuum, finally confined off the rear, the wing, as well as toward the wing tip and the body. The effect of any vacuum presented in front of an object is to pull the object forward and accordingly, Montgomery found that the combined effect of the tiny vacuums is a forward thrust and the explanation of how such a winged body can create its own forward power within the wing itself. He spent $30,000 on his secret experiments, conducted in the United States, South America and Alaska.

VOTE FOR JERRY ZMUNT.
One of the Very Best Commissioners Cuyahoga County Has Ever Had—Our Friend.
County Commissioners Jerry R. Zmunt and Walter E. Cook killed the proposed annexation of a portion of Miles Heights village to Cleveland, Wednesday, after a hearing at which more than 200 residents of the village, headed by Mayor Arthur R. Johnston, protested the annexation on the ground that more than $600,000 had been spent in civic improvement. The residents of Miles Heights, who filled the commissioners' meet-

Praises Garbage Department
City Manager Morgan today passed the administration of Seth Nuckens, recently appointed to succeed Abe Crutch, as garbage collection superintendent. Morgan credited Nickens with the $2,270 balance for the division at the end of its first six months, which today's report showed. A report from Nickens to Davis today showed a clear saving of $24 million in garbage collection with the same period in 1929. This was despite an increase in pay which cost the division $2,200 more for the two weeks' period. Complaints on garbage collection dropped from $7 a day in 1929 to 33 a day this month, Director Davis was told.—The Cleveland Daily Press, July 17.

Our oldest county commissioner
in point of service is Jerry Zmunt,
from boyhood a friend of the editor
of The Gazette. He is, too, one of
the very best commissioners Cuya-
hoga county has ever had, and al-
ways a true and tried friend of the
race. We want to ask all of our
readers to do their DUTY on August
12, 1930, in his case. Vote for him,
and induce all of your friends and
acquaintances, voters, t6 do likewise
that you can. Jerry Zmunt merits
this support.

that it will not end in a lot of talk

trict, a year or so ago. Those junk
yards are not only an eyesore but

OITIZENS LEAGUE “COLOR LINE”
In a letter to Atty. Chester K
Gillespie, of this city, dated July 16,
'30, Atty. Malcolm B. Vilas, presi
dent of the Citizens’ League, wrote:
“On Friday afternoon of last
week, our executive committee had
a conference with Messrs. Harry
Davis, Pierce and White,” regarding
the use in its Bulletin and in local
daily mewspapers by its secretary,
Mayo Fessler, of the word “colored”
or ‘Negro’ immediately after the
names of our candidates for local
public office. “The matter is having
the careful consideration of our
candidates committee.” wrote Mr.
Vilas, “and will be further consid-
ered by our executive board. Please
de assured that the Citizens’ League
wants to be absolutely fair not only
to our membership but also to. all
sections and races of our commun-
ty.”
We are free to say, to Mr. Vilas,
that Judging the League by the rec-
ord that its executive secretary,
Mayo Fessler, has made for it, we
find it very VERY difficult to be-
Ueve “that the Citizens’ League
wants to be absolutely fair.” We
have protested, for years, the miser-
‘able and insulting treatment accord-
ed our people only by the Citizens
League, bet always to no avail. Mr
Vilas also says in his letter:
“Personally, I would go out of my
way to favor a colored man, because
I. realize some of the handicaps
under which he has to labor.”
We think this true, because for
years such has been the general im-
pression of the gentleman, in this
community. That is why we believe
that he will be able to do what we
want and have a right to expect—
bring about the elimination of what
all of our people are protesting
against. There is no earthly reason
why the Citizens’ League should
permit its executive secretary to sin-
sle out our group or class of people,
of all in this community, for such
miserably insulting designation when
members of the race are candidates
for local offices. If Fessler must air
his racial prejudice, the Citizens’
League should see to it that it is
not longer made a party to any such
insulting effort. Stop the pernicious
practice, President Vilas, or get rid
of the League's executive secretary.

ROWLAND'S STATEMENT.
That was a very good statement
that Ralph N. Rowland, president
of our National Association of Wait-
ers and Hotel Employees issued, last
week, in reply to an attack upon
those of our people who have been
employed to take the places of strik-
ing employees (white) of ten lead-
ing local hotels. We do not know
how long Mr. Rowland has been a
resident of Cleveland, but we hope
tong enough to know that the local
waiters’, waitresses’ and cooks’
unions have always refused our
workers admission, and that the
only effort the unions have ever
made to organize them was an in-
sult, as we told them, years ago, be-
cause the unions sought the estab-
lishment of a segregated (‘‘jim-
crow”) union when in the unions
were representatives of all groups,
races or classes on the face of the
globe but ours. This too, in the
face of the fact that the average
standard of intelligence of our wait
ors, waitresses and cooks, practically
all American born, was higher than
that of the members of the unions
refusing them membership. This is
no time for organized labor leader:
or others to find fault because the
places referred to are being taken
by men and women of color who are
barred from membership in the
unions. Wake up, men! Open wide
the doors of your unions, all of
them, to Afro-Americans. This is
the only way you will ever solve
your problems in this country. Wé
say this as one who has for nearly
fifty years, in this city, advocated
organization, “In union there i
strength” has ever been our slogan
And we wish it distinctly under
stood that we are filing no brief for
local hotel managements, most all
of which have well-established color.

Aug. 12, 1930, primary day.
“The triumvirate”, as the local
daily newspaper political writers
were wont to refer to “The Blossom
Triplets” (Councilmen George, Payne
and Bundy), has apparently been
“busted”, much to their edification,
it seems. First (last week early),
‘Councilman George and his 18th
Ward East End Political club for-
sook Councilman Bundy and his 17th
Ward Republican club and went to
Benge ee ee
candidacy for the county prosecutor
nomination (Aug. 12). Then came
those police raids, later last week,
In the third district, mainly in Bun:
dy and Councilman Payne's wards,
the 17th and 11th, respectively. And
the latter and his ward club forsook
Bundy and his club's support of the
Arthur H. Day candidacy, in a hur-
dle to the Harris candidacy. The
raids made Payne see the light, ac-
cording to the local daily press. It
was, last week Tuesday night, that
the 17th Ward Republican club which
charges $1 to join and 25 cents a
month (dues), held the meeting at
which its president, Bundy, flayed
the Harris candidacy and ' openly
campaigned for Day while A. J. Hir-
stius, chairman of the Co. Rep. Exec-
ative committee; Mrs. Mary Forrest,
State Republican committeewoman;
Atty. Alex. Bernstein, 12th ward
leader, and other aides of Mr. Maur-
jee Maschke, head of the local Re-
publican organization, sat and Ist-
ened. This was along toward mid-
night. About 4:30 a. m., the next
morning, the Hotel Majestic, where
Bundy lives, was raided, and four-
teen men and women “held for in-
vestigation”, the next morning. Tues-
day night of this week, Captain Potts
and his squad of officers found a
man wanted as leader in policy ac-
tivities who was only arrested after
a chase, and took him to the Majes-
tie only to find in the man's room
several baskets of bank clearings.
Thus the Majestic has had two raids
in one week. Goin’ some! The police
also did some raiding in the fourth
(George's) district. Naturally there
are those who affect to believe that
the activity of Safety Director Barry's
police department had much to do
with Messrs. George and Payne “'see-
ing the political (Harris) light”. |

YOU KNOW ME, AL
Dear Al:
It’s funny bow tight these chub owners
are and you'd think when a bird becomes
manager he'd spent all his life reading the
life and habits of Harry Lauder and Ty
Cobb both of who are good to their fami-
lies. Now take Bush. When he was short-
stop on the Detroit team, he was 0. K. and
a swell little guy, but when I report to the
Pirates he offers me a contract for $3500
and tells me not to say anything to Drey-
fuss about it because he might think he
was gettin’ cheated. Well, I give him an
argument to show he couldn't put nothing
‘over on me but finally signed because it’s

‘Your friend,
Jack Keefe,
very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey have followed Ohlo’s
lead ana enacted mob violence or
anti-lynehing laws which are copies
of our Ohio :aw, Several other north-
ern states and at least one border
state (Kentucky) have also enacted
anti-lynching laws, in recent years,
Uke Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Obio law follows:
such injury occurred, a sum not to
exceed ‘five thousand dollars dam-
ages for such unlawful killing. Such
sum shall be applied to the mainten-
ance of the family and education of
the minor children of such person so
lynched, if any survive him, until
such children are of legal age, and
then be distributed to the survivors,
share and share alike, the widow re-
ceiving an amount equal to a child’s
share. If there be no widow or min-
or children surviving such decedent,
such sum shall be distributed among
the next of kin according to the laws
of the distribution of the personality
of an intestate. Such sum 90 recov-
ered shall not be a part of the estate
of such person go lynched, nor be
subject to any of his liabilities. (93
v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person euffering
death or injury from a mob attempt-
ing to lynch another person shall
come within the provisions of this
chapter. He or his legal representa-
tives shall have a like right of action
‘as one purposely injured or killed by
such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the re-
coverles provided for in this chap-
ter must be commenced, within two
years from the date of such lynch-
img, in any court having original
Jurisdiction of an action for dam-
ages for malicious assault. (93 v.
162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the
commissioners of a county, against
which such recovery is had, to in-
clude it with the costs of action, in
the next succeeding tux levy for such
county, shall be a part of the judg-
dy) will, too, “see the (Harris)
light” prior to, or very soon after
Aug. 12, 1930. Considering the
foregoing, it ought not to be difficult
for the Flemings to win the fight
with Payne for the ward 11 leader-
ship. In the 17th ward, Louis Vino-
‘cur (white), Republican leader, has
parted company with his erstwhile
political ally, Bundy, as a result of
the latter's fight on ‘the Harris can-
aidacy. Vinocur, like “Billy” Wil-
liams, Pete Miles and many others,
‘yas /among “The Blossom | Tip
lets’ ” strongest supporters, last fall,
in the councilmanie contest, but like
many since the first of the year (The
Old Reliable” Gazette Included) has
been forced to dessert the politically
erratic Bundy who started out. to
unhorse Councifman Finkle and Atty.
Alex. Bernstein, leaders of ward 12,
and to control all of our voters of
this city. He has now lost the sup-
port of even his own ward, and been
deserted by the other two’ “Blossom
Triplets". Bundy “‘faw down and go
boom,” again. He sure ts one huge
political joke. “Arousmit” him!

‘The General Code of Ohio:

proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of an inn, restaurant, eat-

tles 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.

next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fitty dollars nor more

Killed Of Like Rats.
_ Because the Belgians develop in-
dustries too fast in their Congo col-
ony and insist on compulsory labor
‘under the modern term of “labor Te-
cruitment,” the native population in
the vast ‘Belgian equatorial colony
hag decreased steadily during the last
40 years. First warfare and portage,
but more lately underfeeding and ov-
erwork have decimated the Congo
Negroes, he says. According to Dr.
Ortis, 12 per cent of tho workers, a!l
men in the prime of life, die in cer-
tain mining and industrial camps in
the colony.
“wathers are torn from their wives
‘and children and often are sent to
factories or mines some two or four
days away from their village,” sald
Mr. Ortis. “There are instance> when
even women and young children have
been called to help in industry.
Homesickness, the change of food,
and illness reduce the number ot
workers. In some cases, 120 per
1,000 die in camps. This mortality
may even go up to 144 per 1,000. If
T count those who are sent home be-
cause they are unfit for work and
who die on their way home, the mor-
tality figures may rise to 250 per
1,000 within the first four months
after the men’s departure from their
native village.”
Evils Continue.
How dozens of men, driven to
workers’ camps like so’ many head
of cattle, drop down with fever even
bofore they have started to earn
their first wages, is graphically de-
seribed by the Red Cross chief.
“On my visit to a workers camp
I saw the latest recruits lined up.
Some of these men had to walk
six weeks to get to the camp.
Some sat on the ground obviously
because they could not stand up any
longer. Loud coughs arose, while
men were dropping down; T realiget
that not one of them would see his
village again. In the camps of native
workers men and women often live
together without marriage bonds and
most frequently have no children.
Naturally, hatred ts growing against
all white’ men, missionaries, includ-
ed, among Congo natives. ‘Compul-
sory labor now tends to become a
habit, particularly since an official
committeo suggested in 1928 that
the government should let minor offi-
clals tend to recruiting labor and re-
munerate native village chiefs who
would help them to get labor.

PROVISIONS FOR WEEK-END TRIP
Everybody Enjoys Cutings Which Are Inexpensive.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.
There is now one motor vehicle for every five persons in the United States, according to the United States bureau of public roads, or one for every family. There is no doubt but that a great number of families of moderate means who would not have dreamed of taking frequent week-end outings a few years ago are now able to enjoy the possession of a car and the opportunity to use it for recreation in the open air.
Considerable, distance may be covered in a Saturday-noon to Sunday-night trip, or more leisurely driving to favorite nearby picnic or camping grounds may be preferred. From the mother's point of view such outings are a blessed release from the former drudgery of Sunday spent cooking and clearing up the biggest dinner of the whole week. Everybody enjoys them, and with a little planning they may be both easy and inexpensive.
Keeping Quality Important.
In planning what food must be carried, as three or four meals will probably be eaten on the road, the prime consideration is the keeping quality. Unless some sort of traveling refrigerator is taken along, it is best to select for the second day's meals foods that do not require icing to be palatable or safe to eat. A small camp

cooking kit is a very satisfactory part of the week-end equipment. It should include a frying pan and a saucepan, a coffee or tea pot, and some plates and cups suitable for serving hot foods and beverages.
For the first plonic supper one may choose among the entire range of fresh cooked meats or chicken, or if the weather is cool, bring hamburg patties or chops to broil over the camp fire. Salad ingredients like tomatoes, lettuce, celery and cucumber may be carried, to be put together when wanted, or potato salad made at home and brought in a glass jar or cardboard carton. Except for tomatoes and cucumbers, which keep well because of their skins, none of these foods should be planned for the second day. The more perishable fruits, such as berries, cherries, fresh pineapple cut up and put in a glass jar, or fresh apple sauce, are the best first day. Hot coffee and ice cold milk may be brought from home in thermos bottles. If lemon juice is squeezed and sweetened ready for mixing into lemonade it will be a refreshing beverage to serve. If sandwiches are wanted, have them the first day. Loaf cake, cup cakes and cookies all travel well, especially if put in a tight tin box.
For a camp fire dinner the second day, the bureau of home economics suggests frizzled dried beef and scrambled eggs. Both the "makin'" for this dish can be safely transported without ice. Let the boys of the family help to cook this dish. With it have tomatoes or cucumbers, and buns, either plain or toasted, as they will not dry out, as much as loaf
bread. Fruit for dessert on the second day may be oranges or whole pineapple, cut up in sections when wanted. Some of the cake from the day before may be left.
A good hot dish for supper the second day will appeal to everybody. A vegetable chowder may be made of potatoes, bacon, or salt pork, canned or dried milk, onion, and celery if possible. Or one of the excellent canned chowders, rheated on the spot, may be depended on, with crackers as the breadstuff. Cheese may be served at this meal, with the crackers, and marmalade or jam. Bottled grape juice will be good for a fruit drink the second day.
In the picnic kit, in addition to whatever cooking utensils are liked, one might keep permanently a bottle opener, can opener, bread knife, table knives, forks, spoons; plates and cups of metal, or paper; paper napkins and waxed lunch paper; salt, pepper, loaf sugar, a small can of evaporated milk—and a box of matches for the camp fire.
THE MOTOR QUIZ
How Many Can You Answer?
Q. Why is it customary in the Philippines to hire chauffeurs?
Ans. The operator of a motor vehicle which injures a pedestrian is subject to arrest and imprisonment until he can prove that he is blameless. For this reason most of the car owners employ a chauffeur.
Q. What is the motor vehicle registration of the Philippines?
Ans. Approximately 29,000.
Q. How many cars are registered in Canada?
Ans. 1,076,819 or one car to every nine persons.
Q. What effect is produced by "choking" the carburetor?
Ans. Pulling out the "choke" causes a raw mixture of gasoline to be drawn into the engine, which fires readily in cold engines. Excessive use of the "choke" causes fuel waste, sooting, oil dilution, fouled spark plugs and irregular running of the engine. When the "choke" is used properly, according to the instruction book, and the spark plugs are in good condition, starting should not be difficult even in the coldest weather.
Belgium to Start Eight
Production This Year
Production of new eight-cylinder cars in Belgium is expected to start, in quantity, during the current year, according to a report received and issued by the automotive division of the Department of Commerce. This shows that production in Belgium during the past year was 6,000 passenger cars and 1,000 trucks. There was a considerable increase in the number of six-cylinder cars at the expense of four-cylinder cars. The new models of Minerva eight-cylinder cars are expected to reach quantity production during the current year.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
**************************************************************
A young hitch-hiker in the neighborhood reported a lame shoulder, after the week-end, from swinging a thumb over it.
"Let me see something that's gone 187,000 miles," said a college boy to the man on a used car lot. "I haven't the time to break one in."
With these automobiles that get up to 240 miles an hour, we assume you jog along at a nominal 190-mile gait, the first 500, to get them properly broken in.
A Wisconsin lad completed a high school course in a year by doing everything four times as fast as usual. This would require driving the coupe 280 miles an hour.
Another rather jolly impasse is when a local driver, accustomed to making inside left turns, meets a visiting motorist who is equally accustomed to the outside type.

SPORTSWOMEN who know fashion turn to the knitted ensemble as the costume ideal to wear when "playing the game." Incomparable, too, for tour and travel wear is the general verdict in regard to knitted apparel. As to accounting for the increasing favor expressed for knitted fashions, knitted wear is itself its own best "reason why." The record of achievement during the past several years in the knitted industry reads like a fairy tale. Perfectly amazing things have been accomplished in the way of daintiness, lightweightness, colorfulness and "style."
Those lacy frocks, for instance, filmy as a colweb, which are being featured this year in the sports collections are actually knitted. And those entrancing three-piece boucle suits! Of course the woman who is assembling a wardrobe of swanky clothes will never think of passing up as fascinating a proposition as these knitted fantasies. Assuming that you have grown wise as to the importance of white for this summer, we suggest that one of the number of sports costumes which you hope to acquire be a three-piece all-white boucle. You

THE afternoon frock is again important in the fashion world. Was a time, not so long since, when we really forgot, or rather the style program did not demand that we change our clothes for each passing daytime social event. Sports, sports, how monotonous it grew to be wearing sports clothes for breakfast, luncheon, theater, bridge tea, and even dinner. The real reason we did it was because there actually were no definite luncheon, afternoon and tea fashions. Having reached the point where sports clothes were accepted even by "the best of regulated" dressers as appropriate as anything, we sometimes became totally resigned, and just wore them on through the dinner hour. Admitted that we were not picturequeque or even particularly pretty thus uniformed? We believe the answer is unanimously in the affirmative, or rather the negative—we were not!
To improve the point that all this is changed the illustration shows a charmingly informal afternoon frock of embroidered durene cotton. It looks, as it should, according to the present call of the mode, decidedly afternoon. One would never play tennis in

will fall in love with the blouse (worn over or as a tuck-in) which is included in these knitted tiers—sheer and lace as can be. To wear with this you are perfectly justified in choosing white hat, white footwear, gloves, a boutonniere of white violets, and a pocketbook also all white. It's a white season!
Of course if you yearn for color, then decide upon one of the adorable pastel shades for the knitted threepiece, pale blue if you have been reading up on French preferences, or delicate pink if it's more becoming. However, see to it that all the accessories are white, for again let us remind you—it's a white season!
However all's not white and pastel tinted that's knitted. Just the thing for the day on the links is a rich green or radiant brown three-piece fashioned after the manner of the model pictured. The sleeveless jumper, because of its surplus fastenings, is the very essence of chic. If you are fond of circular skirts, many of the knitted suits have them this season—capes, too, instead of jackets if such be your choice.

AFTERNOON FROCK
such feminine attire, but one would eat a summer luncheon in it; or drink ice tea at five o'clock. One would sit on the country club porch playing bridge of a warm afternoon, but one would never play golf in it.
All of which goes to show that the clothes question is anything but a "happy-go-lucks" proposition this season. It requires intelligent study as to the appropriateness of things. The new rules are really quite arbitrary—sports for sports, afternoon costumes for afternoon, and formal evening attire for just that and none other. Transgress the law as to what's what in wearing apparel for this or that time, place and event, you are, well, to say the least, you are simply not fashionwise, not modern.
Notwithstanding some few objections voiced at the outset of this new regime, women are completely won over to this order of things which calls for "perfectly darling" summer frocks made picturequely instead of "sportsy" of loveliest materials, chief among which are handsome allover embroidered effects.

CARRIED THEM IN A FREIGHT SHIP!
ENOUGH TO MAKE THEIR SONS' BODIES TURN OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.
Futile Efforts to Deny or Explain the Shameful Segregation—Hoover's Oklahoma Secretary of War and Another High Government Official Issue Statements.
(Special to The Gazette)
New York City. - Sixty of our gold star mothers sailed from this city, July 12, on the S. S. American Merchant to visit the graves of their sons in France who were killed there during the World War in that memorable effort to "keep the safe world for democracy." The reception, tendered these gold star mothers at the city hall, is said to be "the first reception given any of the mothers to the dead in the agent." The Hon. Patrick Hurley of Oklahoma, secretary of war, on July 11 "issued an emphatic statement (at Washington, D. C.) defending the war department against race segregation charges in this connection." It is the Bunk! "A high official source," at Washington, D. D., is responsible, it is said, for the statement "that the Holland American line, North German Lloyd, Cunard line, Marine Line, International Merchant alliance Marine Co., and French line, to accommodate the Negro gold star mothers." It is the more bunk! "The foregoing was only followed by a statement, which was only some more bunk, to the effect that the disinclination of these to provide accommodations for Negro women was advanced in official quarters as one reason why the government arranged to transport the Negro mothers on a combination freight and passenger ship of the American Merchant lines. This statement is only additive. There isn't a scintilla of truth in the statement that all of the aforementioned lines, or any one of them was disinclined or "found themselves unable to accommodate the Negro gold star mothers sailing for France on July 12." The claim that the refusal of fifty-five of our self and race-respecting gold star mothers to be grossly insulted and injured by "jim-crowed" enroute to France by officials of the War Department of this government caused the number going to be so small that the first arrangements made to carry "fifteen hundred Negro mothers on the U. S. lines" ship, Republic, were
COPLAND STORM CENTER
IN LEGISLATIVE FIGHT
The battle for ballots in the coming August primaries seems to be waxing warmer as days go on. Outside of the Day-Harris fight for the prosecutorship, the greatest interest is being displayed in the fight for nomination to the State Senate. In former years, no great amount of interest has been aroused in the legislative ticket. The Citizens Committee, a group of Democrats, has been affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, has always selected the candidates it desired nominated and Mr. Maschke, the Republican chief, has endorsed them. This state always won the nomination at the primaries. This year, however, there is much consternation

in the camps of the Citizens Committee—and all because of the candidacy of David Copland for State Senator. It is conceded that the Citizens Committee never could have put over their slate, despite the tremendous sums of money spent by them on behalf of their favored candidates, without the help of the Republican organization, because of the different. A cloud appears upon the horizon—and that cloud is in the personage of David Copland. Side-tracked by the Citizens Committee, his friends took up the battle and today, he is without a doubt the most formidable candidate for the State Senate. He is perhaps one of the most interesting characters among the candidates for this office. Smiling, affable, and modest, yet when asked to fight, he joins his friends and his party, he has endured himself to the hearts of thousands. The rank and file of the Republican organization, including all of the ward leaders know him well and intimately. It is doubtful

If the foregoing does not make President Herbert Hoover hang his head in shame for his Oklahoma Republican secretary of war, Hurley, and U. S. militant the cifal of prejudice known as the War Department, there is nothing, absolutely nothing that will. In addition to being segregated and slurred with the stigma of race inferiority, sixty of our gold star mothers were sent across on a boat that is smaller, slower and cheaper than any of those on which the white gold star mothers saluted. Whereas the former mothers were paying the trip passage for every white mother who has gone over, it is paying only $100 each for round trip passage for our mothers, it has been revealed by officials of the U. S. Lines. In addition, the white mothers were given first-class accommodations all the way. The finest hotels and the best of everything were placed at their disposal by the government, where mothers were housed here, while mothers were housed at Harlem Y. W. C. A., in cheap boarding houses and private homes. The legislation by the Congress, which allows war-mothers to visit the graves of their sons in France at the expense of their government, provides for government-owned vessels for transportation and proper military escort. The War Department was the actual minister of the excursions. It paid $40 for the expenses of each woman. This was to furnish first-class accommodations both ways. The finest hotels with an allowance of $9.50 a day were included in this reckoning, as well as first-class transportation on boats and trains. But the War Department decided to segregate our mothers, and in spite of protests from our gold star mothers, many prominent individuals and various organizations of both races, the department refused to change gross insulting plans for segregation. A. Veteran.
if even such a strongly financed group as the Citizens Committee can tear Copland out of the hearts of the organization. Here is a political triangle—and in the meantime Copland and his friends are fighting on, with victory as their goal. If they succeed—and at this time, it looks very much as if they will, the Citizens Committee slate will be broken for the first time, and out of it, should emerge one of the greatest political factors in Cuyahoga County in many a year—David Copland.
WAKEMAN COUNTRY CLUB
Is Really an Ideal Place to Spend
Your Week-Ends and to Visit—
Just a Nice Auto Ride and over
the Best of Roads
By following Route 20, it is a pleasant drive to the Wakeman Country club, near Wakeman, Ohio, and only 48 miles from Cleveland's public square. On the large spacious club lawn, shaded by tall pine trees that scent the air with the perfume of their cones, one looks down a valley at the winding Vermilion river in all its beauty. To the right one sees hillsides studded with yellow and orange flowers—all the colors of the rainbow—flowers that make the scene one of beauty. To the left, tall trees that are a part of the large orchard, and several cottages that mark the level and beautiful allotment grounds. To the right are the giant willow trees, probably the largest in this section of the country, with gentle rolling slopes showing back of them and forming a picture that thrills. Therefore, it does not surprise when one sees a groundhog, rabbit or some other wild animal in search of food. There are many gardens, Courts and see, for yourself, the most beautiful spot in Ohio and you will want to spend your weekends and vacations there eating honest-to-goodness country meals that are served in the convenient and comfortable hotel on the grounds.
OUR PEOPLE WANT RESULTS.
OUR PEOPLE WANT RESULTS.
A great deal of complaint is being made by a number of our women as a result of what they claim is a lack of proper interest on the part of Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our only member of the school board. Mesdames Ison, Ramsey, Whiting and a Miss Mitchell have all been mistreated by employees of the school board so they have been treated unfairly and have been unable to secure any redress whatever. The three married ladies have been refused places they won in Civil Service examinations, while Miss Mitchell claims to have been dropped from a position she had held for more than six years, no complaints having been made against her work. In each of the cases color or race prejudice was the cause of their mistreatment. They all say that they have been unable either to go Mrs. Martin interested in their cases or to succeed in whatever effort was put forth because of a wolf lack of aggressiveness and racial interest on the part of Mrs. Martin. We have had knowledge of some of these cases
for many weeks, but have refrained from calling attention to them sooner preferring to give Mrs. Martin more time to "learn the ropes" and become familiar with the way to accomplish material results for her people. It is time now that she was doing this! They need her help far more than any other group in the community and they are entitled to more consideration at her hands. This we feel sure she will gladly and willingly give because on it depends any chance she may have for recognition to membership in Cleveland Board of Education next year. "Impressive personality and practical talks" no substitute for practical results for your people, Mrs. Martin "Proving an asset to the board" is not enough. You must "prove an asset" to your people. Indeed, this is far more important from your political viewpoint than "proving an asset to the board", which does not need you one one-hundredth as much as your people. It is always well to remember, too, that Cleveland is in Ohio, where one must not only "show" (all that is necessary in Missouri), but must "show" and prove!
LEARN TO SWIM!
Here Is Your Opportunity, Young Folk and Older Persons, Too—Commissioner Gourley's Program.
An opportunity for every boy and girl in Cleveland to learn to swim. That is the program of John H. Gourley, city recreation commissioner. Swimming instructors have been assigned to every outdoor municipal swimming pool and definite hours have been set when beginners and advanced boys and girls may go there. The cost at any time will never be more than ten cents, if you bring your own suit and towel. Ten cents is the regular entrance fee but boys and girls are admitted free on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings! No teaching is being done either at Edgewater or Gordon beaches, as city officials recommend that it is much more healthful to swim in the pools where the water is purified.
Here are the five pools where boys and girls—and men and women, too—may learn to swim:
Brookside Park, Ted Schultz, captain.
Forest Hills Park, Fred Newman, captain.
Garfield Park, Elmer Babka, captain.
Woodland Hills Park, Clayton Clark, captain.
East 110th St., north of St. Clair Ave., Henry Sarnacki and Abe Newman, instructors.
Hours are the same for all five pools. Here they are:
Beginners, boys; Five days a week,
