No action was made against Greater Norfolk lodge which he had notified of his intention to suspend, he said, because he had received word that it intended to pay its annual per capita tax. Serg't.

More Good Work by the County Commissioners Led by Jerry Zmunt—Additional Representation Given Our People of This Community. Lawrence J. Powell, 8925 Cedar Ave., was on Tuesday appointed to the visiting agents' staff of the County Child Welfare Board. Mr. Powell is a graduate of Morehouse College, class of '27. In announce the an- PETER J. Lawrence J. Powell, pointment J. T. Sweeney, president of the Child Welfare Broad, paid a high compliment to Mr. Powell on account of his splendid standing and qualifications. Only persons of the highest caliber were involved in educational and character standpoint, are eligible for this type of work which has to do with the care of dependent and neglected children, legal residents of Cuyahoga County. The County Child Welfare Board was organized on Dec. 31, 1929 by the present Board of County Commissioners, J. R. Zmunt, Walter E. Cook and J. H. Harris. This move on the part of the County Commissioners is considered by the foremost welfare authorities as one of if not the greatest forward movement ever initiated by County Officials in the history of Cuyahoga County. The Child Welfare Board is caring over 900 children and it is expected that in 1931 the load will be increased to approximately 1200, at a total cost of over $400,000. The service rendered dependent and neglected children is complete in every detail including food, clothing, medical attention, education and recreation. Children are housed in foster homes carefully selected and regularly supervised by the County Commissioners, who are known as visiting agents. The County Commissioners are entitled to great credit for their favorable attitude in promoting welfare activities and especially so when such activity has to do with the child who may find himself dependent, sick, neglected and in numerous cases totally abandoned. Commissioners Cook and Harris were led in their support of Lawrences Jerry R. Zmunt whose candidacy for re-election in November, should and will be supported en mass by our people of this community.

Good Personal Conduct and Intelligent Use of the Ballot Will Establish Our Prestige and Secure Proper Representation in the Government—West Point and Annapolis Cadets. "Communism is trying to inculcate in the Afro-American worker the idea that in Communism lies the solution of all his problems," said Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, last week Thursday night, at the thirteenth national biennial convention of Southern Congregational Workers Among Colored People held at Mt. Zion church. "If Communism gets its hold on our people it will mean that they will be marked, they will be unable to find employment. They will starve. Through our press and pulpit of the country faith in the existing government must be spread and a healthy, manly sentiment created in the Afro-American." The two weapons with which the race might fight for its rightful position, DePriest believes, are its own personal conduct which it must use to gain respect and intelligent use of resources. It may establish its prestige, and secure the representation it should have in the government. Outlines His Policy. "I'm not in Congress to suit the president," the old said. "I'm down there to sit the American people, my people. If a man can not serve the group he's identified with, he'd better stay at home. I DOINGS OF THE RACE. The veteran editor and proprietor of The Gazette, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, is to be congratulated upon his consistent and aggressive record during all these years.—N. Y. Age. James Carter of Chicago, recently appointed, is our first guard at the Illinois state penitentiary at Joliet Ohio has had Afro-Americans as state penitentiary guards for at least half a century. One of our two "National Baptist conventions" met in Chicago, last week, while the other will convene in N. Y. City, next week. A regimental band of Congo, Africa, natives drew a large crowd to its public concerts in the great palace at Brussels, Belgium, last Saturday. On Sept. 20, 1870, Hon. John P. Green, of Cleveland, O., was admitted to practice law at Bennetsville, S. C. On the 20th of this month, he will have been in practice 60 hours. He now has eleven cases on his docker. He pleas and the municipal court, one a manslaughter case. Ex-State Sen- P. B. ator Green is the oldest practicing attorney of the race in this country, according to the president of our National Bar association, and one of, if not the oldest attorney (without reference to race or group) practicing at the local bar in Cleveland. Fifty or more years ago William Williams, brother-in-law of Anderson H. Bowman of Maud Ave, an old resident of Cleveland. O., was sent to Rome, Italy, by Bishop Raphael M. Cohen, diocese, study for the priesthood, return to this country, he was stationed in Platts' library at Baltimore, a Catholic institution. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

If I don't send them, who else will?" He commended the church on the interest it is taking in civic affairs. OJCAR D.C. He believes that through the Christi- hion influence the church can exert the decent part of the population may be made to take an interest in the enforcement of law. DePriest indicated that he resents the attitude taken toward his place in Congress. "I didn't go down there as a 'Negro' Congressman," he said. "I went there as a 'Negro' in Congress." What Faces the Church Three major problems, economic, fraternal and political, face the church of today, according to Rev. George J. Thomas of Winston-Salem, N. C., president of the Southern Congregational Workers, who addressed the opening session of the convention, last week Wednesday night. "The church must teach that while man must have bread on which to subsist, bread is not the whole of life" he said. "There are things man must have more than money. And they who have money must not hesitate to spend it for the social uplift of mankind." The present problem of unemployment must be met by those manufacturers and employers who are in a financial condition that permits them to aid the jobless, he said. Urges Race Loyalty. "The Negro' must make more noise about race loyalty, business integrity, helpful and peaceful organization, cooperation and substantial contribution to the upward trend of civilization." Rev. Mr. Thomas said. "We should feel that we have a place in American life as well as the white man he needs us as well as we need him. Mr. Keyy is our loyalty. We should keep some good member of the race in the legislative halls of the nation." SOVIET DEPORTS TWO "CRACKERS" Stalingrad, Russia.—The prejudiced American mechanics, Lewis and Brown, employed at the soviet tractor plant here, last Saturday plant here, deportation for ten years on charges, an Afro-American worker, named Robinson. They threw him out of a public restaurant. The court at first gave the "crackers" a verdict of two years imprisonment but the sentence was made more severe on demand of the prosecutor and the press. This is the kind of action needed in Haifa and America. The Kinsman Heights Men's club clam-bake and picnic, Labor day, at Vass park, Stop 24% Kinsman Rd., drew a goodly attendance, all of whom enjoyed themselves greatly in spite of the shower in the middle of the afternoon. Bowling and dancing to the music of King Tung orchestra were thoroly enjoyed, whilte the children used the playground, swings, and the manner in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Evanne, the speakers were Dr. Edward A. Bailey and the editor of The Gazette. --- One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Thanks, good friend. --- We had hoped that by this time Congressman Oscar DePriest would realize that there is something else for him to do in addition to appointing our boys to West Point and Annapolis, and that is, he must at least try to bring to bear influence from the proper source that will put a stop to the officials of the U. S. Military and Naval academies "flunking" our candidates for cadetships he appoints and thus keeping the doors of those institutions closed to Afro-American youth. Congressman Oscar DePriest said in his speech at Mt. Zion Congregational church, last week Thursday night, "If a man or woman in a political position, cannot serve the group they are identified with, they had better stay at home. The TRUTH! We commend this strongly to the earnest consideration of Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our member of the Cleveland School board, and "The Blossom Triplets," Councillmen George, Payne and Bundy, all of whom in a greater or less degree apparently have failed to sense and recognize this fact, one many of their constituents of color are busily discussing, these days. WORK FOR JERRY R. ZMUNT. Prior to the recent primaries which were held on Aug. 12, 1930, we urged the renomination of Jerry W. H. R. Zmunt, because he was our oldest and most experienced county commissioner and one of the best Cuyahoga county has ever had. Also because, as in that Miles Heights village controversy when he refused to become a party to an effort which prejudiced residents of the village were making to place at a disadvantage our people out there, just so it has been all thru Jerry Zmunt's career—absolutely fair to all classes or groups of people, and especially to ours. If any of our people in this community, or in this county, need additional proof of this fact, they can find it in the appointment, on Tuesday of this week, of Lawrence J. Powell to a very responsible position under the County Child Welfare board. For it was Jerry R. Zmunt who induced his colleagues, Walter Cook and Jack Harris, to help him put it over, thus adding to our representation among the employees of this city and county. Just at this time, some organized labor-leaders are making a strenuous effort to defeat Jerry R. Zmunt, on election day in November, and are endeavoring to enlist the assistance of members of our group in common with others. We have only to remember that Afro-Americans only are barred from membership in their unions and grossly insulted by being asked to organize separate or "jim-crow" unions in the face of the fact that about every other race on the face of the globe, many of them not even citizens, are represented in the membership of the various unions. So it is not for us to join with them in their fight on Jerry R. Zmunt, but it is our "bounden" duty to do everything in our power to help elect Mr. Zmunt who shows his friendship for the race in practical ways that are both helpful and encouraging. Help those who help us! HARMFUL STATEMENTS. Addressing the convention of Southern Congregational workers among our people held in Mt. Zion Congregational church, last week. Rev. George J. Thomas of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, among other things (some very good) said on Wednesday evening: "The Negro must make less noise about social recognition on the part of the whites". Also, "The white man can no more represent the 'Negro' in the political arena of life than the 'Negro' can represent the white man". Both of these are "stock in trade" statements that "Nerroes" in the South are in the habit of making in that section, and unfortunately occasionally when in this section, in an effort to toady to the prejudiced whites of both sections of the country, particularly those in the South. Both are unfortunate and especially harmful statements when made in this section of the country, because they are wrong and misleading. In the first place neither the "Negro" in the South nor in the North is making "noise about social recognition". In the second place, he is entitled to it just as much as any other group or race in this country. Social recognition is regulated by its participants, all of whom are entitled to it, without reference to class or color, in an equal degree and without any reference to group or class. So when the Rev. Mr. Thomas, or any other person, in making reference to the matter of social recognition would give out the impression that the foregoing is not true, he is making a statement that is wrong and harmful, as we have already stated, and should do his toadying to the prejudiced in the South while there and not in the North where he only helps to retard the progress of those of the race in this section. His other statement is equally pernicious and untrue, because just what he says cannot be done is boiling done daily in this section of the country—"Negroes" represent their own and the other group "in the political arena of life" just as whites also successfully represent their own and our people, each knowing the inside of the other group's life well enough to do so. The effort to give out the impression generally that the "Negro" must have only "business cooperation with the whites" should never be made in this section of the country to say the least. Prime Sport News Prime Sport News Foul Ending Usknown. It is told, and correctly, too, that neither Young Jack Thompson, the wetterweight champion, nor Freeman, the contender, has ever won or lost a fight on a foul, or ever been counted out. That's considerable to say of two boxers whose combined years in the game total fourteen, Freeman having started nine years ago, while Thompson made his "debif" in 1925. Tolan Runnerup. This Time. Toronto, Ont., Ca.—George Simpson, Ohio State flash, scored two victories over Eddie Tolan, sprint ace of the University of Michigan, in an international track meet held here last Saturday, in connection with the 2012 national exhibition. Simpson won both the 100 and 220-yard events with Tolan runner-up, each time. The Ohio State star ran the 100 in 9 7-10 seconds and then set a new Canadian record of 20 9-10 in the 220, but failed to equal the time made in the previous two 100-yard international track meets which were won from him by Tolan, one in Canterbury and one at Pittsburgh, in recent months. Simpson was runnerup, each time, however. A Fine Reception for the Champion. Jack Thompson, welterweight champion of the world, was met by a local committee of fight-fans, headed by Fred Irwin, local fight-promoter, and Billy Williams of the Williams brothers of the army and Sh Clarence B. Shan, others. Young Jack and his father were met at Rocky River at 1 P. M., last week Wednesday, by a large delegation in fine autos and escorted thru the business section of the city amid a blast of horns. He was acclaimed on all sides, as he passed thru, by the bystanders. On arriving at the reception, he was greeted, a great crowd. After the reception, Young Jack and his father were quartered in the comfortable home of Officer John Jones, E. 63d St., where there will be no "raiding" until after Jack leaves the city, Monday night. He refereed several amateur bouts at the Elks' boxing show and was reprimanded for his Championship bout, last night, with Tommy Freeman (white) will be "covered" in our next issue. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1930. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-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 very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. 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: 278. “Mob” and “lynching” defined. 279. “Serious injury” defined. 280. Damages in case of assault. 281. Damages in case of lynching. 282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynching another. 284. Limitations of action. 285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 287. County's right of action against member of mob. 288. County's right of action against another county. 289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 powers over all 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 this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) 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. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars.

If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow resides, the amount equal to a child's share. If the child is 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.

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 (Kentucks) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: DS. and representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. post member of mob post 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 in the killing of such county in failing to project such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 13.) 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. 12404. Whoever, being the pro- priate owner or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the amenities 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 the next fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or son 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 what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! A squad of detectives found a letter, last week, in a trunk of a man arrested, several days previous, at the Hotel Majestic which was addressed to "Marie." The man arrested signed a waiver on a suspicious person charge and was released a few minutes later. He went to Central Police station. Then a great deal of speculation as to the author of the letter, presumably a man. Police know who "Marie" is but are endeavoring to learn the source of the statement in the letter to the effect that vice lords in one of the city's wards were hoping for "protection" (from the police) as a result of the recent change in its political leadership. Among other things, the letter said: I had expected to take you to the conviction but I don't think I will go. Things are looking pretty good now. I have a good ward leader and it looks as though we would get some protection." The initial "J" was signed to the letter. Chief Matowitz refused to disclose the name of the man mentioned in the letter as the new ward leader, or the ward referred to. Several of the "boys" about the Hotel Majestic claim to know the author of the letter and "ward leader" referred to. It would be real interesting to know which of the two is referred to. The public, especially that part of it located in that section of the city, ought to know, and we trust that Chief Matowitz will not be slow in disclosing this information because it "was reported that the man named in the letter stood high in the city's political circles." Five Afro-American candidates, of 35 examined in the last few weeks, for posts as student nurses at City hospital have qualified in the entrance examinations and are eligible for admittance in the class starting Sept. 15. Those qualified may not be admitted as there is still some question about the number of vacancies "Color-Line" Welfare Director Blossom said, Monday. The examinations had to be opened to our students by city council after a lengthy motion of the subject because of City Mayor Michael Director Blossom's opposition. They had kept our boys and girls only from training at the City hospital for about five years. Blossom added, according to Monday's Plain Dealer, that only three of the five successful competitors probably would report for training. Two, he said, had found it advisable not to join the class "because of personal reasons." Asked what the personal reasons were, Blossom said he didn't know. Funny, isn't it, Blossom didn't know "what he doesn't know" mayaph "The Blossom School" (he callen George, Payne and Buny) think they ought to, don't you think? Especially since they "wakeup" their opposition to the reappointment of Blossom, breaking all their many promises and pledges to their constituents to do to that very thing, but to do everything in their power to assist in ousting him. Ofter an announcement to start with the class of Dealer 15, Blossom said to the Plain Dealer reporter that "the first chance 'Negro' interests will have to enter training at City hospital will come in January, when thirty-five vacancies are available," he said after saying that our girls would be "eligible for admittance in the class starting Sept. 15" (this month). He added, according to the same reporter, that he "was not certain (Monday) that places would be found for the three 'Negroes' who passed the competitive examination", and that "that will depend upon how many vacancies there actually are. Sept 15—whether there are 50 or not". All of which is characteristically "Blossom"—still apparently trying to keep our girls and boys from training in City, where they are growing and promises (ih order to be reappointed) made Rev. H. C. Bailey and "The Blossom Triplets". This ought to, if anything can (and we have our doubts), make George, Payne and Bundy hang their heads in shame. It looks so much as if their ally, Dud Blossom, is double-crossing them in this hospital matter. LORD HAVE MERCY! A local correspondent in explaining Councilman George's election to the leadership of ward 18, on the suggestion of George Skinkle (white), the retiring ward leader who refused re-election, said this action was the result of "George's loyalty to the Hon.

PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN Billions of Chuckles are credited every year to the inventor of that inimitable style of comic drawings whose characters are never confused with those of any artist other than POLICE CO and the Republican organization, the past year." This last needs qualification and explanation. George's alleged loyalty is open to serious question because of his following the erratic Bundy in a number of matters when the latter was opposing the leader of the local Republican organization. This was especially true in the early stages of the Harris-Day contest and remained so until Councilman Payne and George pulled out of the race from Bundy (but Bundy), left the Day camp and "hurdled" into the Harris camp not many weeks ago. The same influence that caused Louis Vinocur, ward 17 leader, to acquiesce in the election of the "bobblegush" (Bundy) to that position, was what secured the leadership in the 18th ward for George. Neither George nor Bundy would have been elected a ward leader but for this same Republican organization influence. Both Skinka in the 18th ward and votes enough in the recent convention to elect them ward leaders but "waived" on the suggestion of the local Republican organization, it is said. By the same token, it was this same influence that kept the erratic Bundy from being elected a member of the County Republican Executive committee. This is the real "low-down" on all of the foregoing. Visit Unknown Soldier. Paris, France.—The latest group of Afro-American Gold Star mothers on the afternoon of Aug. 26 visited the tomb of France's unknown soldier and then were entertained at the customary official tea in Laurent's restaurant on the Champs Elysées, one of the finest in Paris, Ambassador and Mrs. Walter E.

She has not been asked to play opposite Paul Robeson, the Afro-American star, now in England, in an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello" but said: "If Robeson is, as one hears, the greatest actor of 'Othello' in the world, I should be glad to play opposite him."

One sees the beauty of Grecian lines which have ever held appeal for art-loving people reflected in the silhouettes of the superb satin evening gowns which in white and "tinted whites" are glorifying the formal style picture. These satin masterpieces together with dresses of soft chiffons are graced with classic draperies reflecting Greek art in their soft necklines, in their flowing panels and scarf-like arrangements which fall from the shoulder and in other artistic effects. The newest thing which flavors of Grecian lines is the one-shoulder drape such as gives such a picturesque touch to the handsome dress in the illustration. This lovely model is of printed satin. Its single scarflike streamer is of creamy white chiffon, the ex- BACK-TO-SCHOOL M FOR BERET-AN "WITH the coat, a hat to match," might be regarded as the slogan designers have adopted in regard to children's fashions for fall and the coming winter. It does not matter whether the outfit be of very lightweight woolen for early not-so-cold autumn days or of heavy soft and woolly pile fabric for more wintry weather, the importance of the ensemble holds good at all times. The back-to-school movement calls for just such practical and at the same time attractive coat-and-hat sets as the one worn by the little girl posing in this picture. This serviceable two-piece ensemble is fashioned of navy serge. It is belted, for interest centers around belted types more than any other this season. In this instance the sleeves are also cunningly belted with buckled straps, of the material—a styling detail which greatly adds to the charm of this little coat in the eyes of a child. In regard to the beret which tops this smart-looking coat, and which is made of self-serge, it is a favorite type of headwear for youngsters. Not only is the beret developed in woolen Don't Th But Give it act tint of the satin background, and it falls in cascades 'a la Grecian. The message of the return of the scarf matched to the evening gown is conveyed by a considerable number of the advance styles for formal wear. For the most part these self-fabric scarfs are incorporated into the very making of the gown. A charming idea is that of the monotone frock chiffon whose scarf of self-chiffon is embroidered in glittering sequins or beads. Stiff silks and satins are forresent as prominent in the fall and winter evening fabric mode. Many of these will be metal-embroidered or handsomely beaded, this elaboration being in keeping with the trend toward luxurious weaves for formal dress. Magnificent wraps will top the new evening gowns, the program calling for full-length models of regal splendor because of their lavishment of fur and the color-glory of the materials, especially velvet, of which they are fashioned.

MOVEMENT CALLS HID-COAT ENSEMBLES Joel Peder weaves, such as serge, chinchilla and various pile fabrics but it is also made of bright velvetteen to match coats of the same gay material. It is not unusual for the lilipinnat coat made of wine-colored, dark green or very likely brown velvetteen to boast a cape and this intriguing detail together with a beret to match never fails to capture the heart of youth. Ever so many interesting things are being done with loose-woven woolen weaves, for instance threads are sometimes drawn, these yarn strands used to embroider the collar or the scarf, the cuffs and the pockets. Then again the drawn strands are formed into pompons, one of which never falls to find its way to the peak of the crown of the beret, the others placed at strategic trimming points such as finishing the ends of the scarf or ornamenting the pockets. Plain colored coats are also designed with scarfs of gay striped or novel patterned woolen, the beret or the hat with a brim, if preferred, repeating the fancy weave. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

REDUCE COST OF UPKEEP OF AUTO Use of Proper Oil and Attention to Filter Will Save Money. Use of the proper grade oil and attention to the oil filter every 10,000 miles, engineers agree, will reduce cost of mechanical upkeep of the car, saving the motorist perhaps as high as $150 in car wear during the life of his automobile. The thin oil film between the moving parts is what protects the automobile against wear. This film is six times thinner than the page of this paper. But it must be kept clean and free from carbon residue and other foreign matter. Function Efficiency This can be done by proper attention to the oil filter—the device through which the oil passes and is filtered. When the oil is filtered properly it has less tendency to form carbon residue or develop gummy matter which will absorb dust and dirt. The oil filter will function at highest efficiency up to 10,000 miles driving. After this mileage it becomes filled with carbon and other foreign matter and should be serviced immediately. Imability of an oil to properly lubricate is nearly always the result of its contamination rather than faulty refinement, assuming, of course, that the correct grades to meet engine operating conditions have been selected. Filter Cleans Oil. The oil filter cleans the engine oil constantly at the rate of one quart a minute while the engine is running and the entire contents of the crankcase every five to ten minutes. In 10,000 miles of driving it removes sometimes as much as two pints of dirt, foreign matter and sludge from the oil, thus preventing this destructive material from injuring the engine's vital parts. The use of an oil filter gives clean lubrication and reduces engine wear. But if the cartridge is not renewed every 10,000 miles, its whole purpose is defeated and wear of the engine parts will result from dirty oil. After 10,000 miles of driving it is important that the filter cartridge be renewed. This is important because this mileage the filter unit becomes filled with dirt, sludge and other foreign matter taken from the oil. New Device Is Help in Parking of Automobiles A device which may be installed on any automobile and which, it is said, will save time and space in parking, has been invented by R. W. Branson, an employee in the office of the state auditor at Jefferson City, Mo. It consists of a set of two small auxiliary wheels that are attached to the front axle and which are hinged so that they may be dropped to the ground through a control on the instrument board. When the small wheels are touching the ground, the driver puts the car in reverse and backs up from two to four inches, raising from the front end of the car on the auxiliary wheels and lifting the front wheels of the car off the ground. As soon as this operation is carried out the steering gear automatically becomes attached to the auxiliary wheels and the driver may turn the car to either side by merely turning the steering wheel. Faulty Contact Points Cause Engine to Miss Missing of the engine and "bucking" frequently blamed on the carburetor are often due to nothing more than improper adjustment of spark plug of breaker point gaps or both. Before making carburetor adjustment in high compression engines the car mechanic should make sure that the plug gap is adjusted according to the car manufacturer's recommendations, and breaker contact points are filed square and likewise adjusted. Dirty or worn out plugs also cause trouble often blamed on the carburetor, and spark plugs and breaker contact points should be examined at least twice a year. Q. Why should brakes be moderately applied for all stops? Ans. This saves time, brake linings, and strain on the chassis. Let the car slow down gradually, bringing it to a stand-still with moderate brake pressure when a red light is seen a block ahead. Q. Name two ways to save a battery, other than by regular inspection of the battery. Ans. By seeing that breaker points and spark plug gaps are properly adjusted. They should be inspected at least twice a year. Q. What state in the Union limits cars on its highways to not more than 20 miles an hour? Ans. Massachusetts. Q. How does the United States rank compared with other countries in number of airplanes? Ans. The United States has 7,100 of the 10,100 planes in operation throughout the world. Q. At what temperature will a fully discharged battery freeze? Ans. From 5 to 10 degrees below the freezing point.

I'M NOT SO FAR BEHIND THE TIMES AFTER ALL! LYNCHING MURDER ROBBERY SHOOTING ARSON— AND SO FORTH AND SO FORTH DAYAFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK, MONTH AFTER MONTH, YEAR AFTER YEAR. THE BEASTIALITY OF TEN MILLION YEARS AGO S. CARGILL POLITICS The fact that a part of the ceiling of Lakeside hospital collapsed, Sunday, will not affect Welfare Director Dudley Blossom's plan to rent part of the building for use as a city emergency hospital, he said, Monday evening. The building will be vacated by Jan. 1 at the latest, the hospital moving to new quarters at Westchester Medical Center. Old Lakeside hospital building are those they want to "load on the city" for "jim-crow" hospital, purposes; so "Dud" don't care how many ceilings fall, it seems. The receipt of a letter from Samuel V. Perry thanking The Gazette for "so loyally aiding in the nomination of the Hon. Perry B. Jackson, our candidate for state representative," on the Republican ticket, this fall, reminds us that Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker, chairman of "The Jackson for State Representative Committee" ought to relieve Mr. Jackson on his embarrassment by resigning from our committee. Then it would again be possible for the chairman of the committee to sign or have his or her name signed to all of its communications and not make it necessary for Samuel V. Perry, "director" of the committee, to do so in part or in whole. Hazel's present political course is at variance with that of the Republican organization and Perry is one of its endorsed candidates. He has been renominated but for the loyal support of the organization and all of our people. Hazel is most too bright a woman to fail to see the wisdom of "The Rounder's" suggestion and to fail to act upon it. ANOTHER "BUNDY" FISCO. From all accounts "the Councilman Bundy victory dinner-dance" sooisly proclaimed in the vicinity of Central Ave. and E. 55th St., for Monday evening, in Elks' hall, at one dollar per, was a flat failure of days, among the boys in the vicinity of the Hotel Majestic and the 17th ward, as well as throut the city. Along about midnight when it was perfectly clear that the affair was to be a flat failure in point of attendance, the doors were thrown wide open and everybody invited to come in gratis, it is said. Still the attendance was pitifully small. Even his few friends are beginning to sense the fact that the erratic "bobblegush" and "Blossom blower" has put him in big boor" in opposing the Republican organization which did so, last fall, to help elect him a member of the city council. A great many people do not yet know that Atty. George B. Harris' majority over Atty. Arthur H. Day in the "colored" wards was 948 in ward 16 and 169 in ward 19. While Day's majority over Harris in ward 17 was only 325. This (ward 17) is the erratic "bobblegush," Bundy's habitat, too. And only 346 in ward 18, Councilman Clayborne George's ward, George, if you will recall, was supposed to have been the only one who didn't seem to mean much to the majority of Republican voters in that ward. _____ The outlook for the Republican success, this fall, is not good. This is an "off year" to begin with, and between President Hoover's Parker appointment, the new tariff law, the presidential election, and the blame for the distressing economic situation throut the country, we are sure up against it. Then, too, the Democrats have the best state and local ticket they have had in years, while McCullough, Cooper and several of our local candidates are organized, dense beings forged by organized labor, Afro-American and others. MARTIN MADE IT Impossible for the Loyal of Our People to Support His Candidacy—The Truth! The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, Tuesday, of a letter, under date, Aug. 15, '30, from Wm. R. Conners, requesting him to attend the meeting held in the Western Reserve Republican club rooms, Wednesday evening, in the interest of Atty. Alex. H. Marit, candidate, justice of the Common Pleas court. We did not attend the meeting because we are opposed to the Martin candidacy for the following reason: [Name] Several months ago Mr. Emmett Meade, E. 130th St., this city, one of our leading and most loyal business men, introduced a resolution in the East End Republican club committing that organization to the ousting of "Color-Line City-Hospital" Welfare Director Dudley S Blossom, which Alexander H. Martin opposed and "talked to death," showing such interest in Blossom's candidacy at that time, for reappointment to the office of welfare to disloyalty to at least those of the people in this community. Martin's most hensible course in that matter so shocked other loyal members of the race in attendance upon the meeting, and Mr. Meade, as to cause him to withhold another resolution he had, providing for the endorsement of the Martin candidacy. All of our many readers will readily recall the fact, stated so often in these columns since the first of the year, that it was this same man Blossom, who for quite five years denied our boys and girls only the right to train in the City hospital, still is still the only custom, law and about everything fair and just. For quite five years, Welfare Director Blossom has thus held up our people to ridicule before the eyes of the entire community. Alexander Martin knew and knows this, and still has the temerity to ask our people for their votes to help him be elected a judge of our common ear court. What sort of a judge, if elected, such a "Negro" make? How far could we trust him in any matter that paralleled "The Blossom-City Hospital Color-Line" matter? Prior to the East End Republican club meeting — Martin — Blossom "episode," The Gazette's editor had promised to support the Martin candidacy, but promptly and publicly withdrew that promise immediately and killing of the Meade City Board's point of measurement resolution. By that disqualified Man, Martin placed himself squarely alongside "The Blossom Triplets" who, after many weeks' pledging themselves and promising "to do everything in their power to help oust Blossom," wound up by "wailing" their opposition to that individual and thus paving the way for his reappointment which followed. Such disloyalty cannot be glossed over or overlooked! But every one of the guilty individuals must be held strictly to account by the loyalty of the race in this community, and like the progress we are still struggling so hard for. After next year, we want no Bundys, Paynes or Georges in office to misrepresent us. And Martin has proven himself to be one of that kind. So we do not want him! Those we have cannot be gotten rid of until next year in the fall-time. But it will be done then just so surely as there is a Lord in heaven, Martin, the original chairman of the Blossom-Gregg "jim-cim" hospital committee of two years ago, has no more chance to be elected a common plea judge in November than Councillor Jake Paynes. But have we re-elected to the city council in November of next year. Cut out and paste in your hat the precedence sentence for future reference. It is the TRUTH! Additional Local Mrs. Mary Wiggins, E. 102d St., was hostess to a very pretty reception, Tuesday, in honor of Mrs. Billingslea of Orange, N. J., Mrs. E Murphy and Mr. Howard Booker of New Rochelle, N. Y., guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Morgan, E. 90th St. Others present were: Mr. Andrew Wiggins and son; Mr. Wesley Wiggins, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. J. Z. Morgan and Mrs. Harper. Beautiful solos were rendered by Mr. Goodwin and Andrew Wiggins, and a duet by Mrs. C. J. Morgan and Mrs. Billinglea. A dainty luncheon was served. All reported a very pleasant evening. Dr. Joe T. Thomas, E. 40th St., who possibly has been more active in the matter than any other of our many local physicians and surgeons, informed The Gazette as we went to press, Thursday morning, that of our five girls eligible for admission to the Nurses' Training school at City hospital, Sept. 15, three are unable to take advantage of the opportunity. One is soon to be married, an opportunity a school to help support her parents, and to the third. Dr. Thomas has been unable as yet to learn the facts in her case. However, two of our girls, Cora McDaniels and Edna Wordley, will enter, Sept. 15. An opportunity for some of our interns to enter will be afforded in January. Get busy! A souvenir post-card, received Wednesday, from Mrs. Julia Burdine informs The Gazette that she, her daughter and the latter's family were to leave their summer home at Vermilion on Thursday of this week to return to Washington, D. C. she also wrote as follows: "All the Cleveland friends were so lovely, and caused me to have such a wonderful the Mrs. Clark Green Johnson gave a happy reception for me that I enjoyed so much. While in Cleveland I could not get along without "The Old Reliable" Gazette; so had my friends get it for me. Family sends regards. God bless you."
