YOUNGSTOWN — Sunday was "homecoming" day at Oak Hill Ave. A. M. E. church. The old people were guests of the S. S. at the morning service to which they were brot in autos. The pastor's subject was: "The Church, the Christian Family." It was a fine sermon and thoroly appreciated. "Father" Parris Hall, the member of the church, was the special guest of honor and was seated on the rostrum after service, the guests, led by the pastor and wife, retired to the dining room where a fine chicken dinner was served by S. S. members, during which the S. S. orchestra, led by Mr. Chas, Brown, rendered excellent music. Much credit is due the sup't. Mrs. Rhoda Johnson, and the school for splendid service. Late in the afternoon, the guests were returned to their homes and all voted "a great day." Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Jackson and niece, Miss Katie Jackson, Mrs. Hilda and nephew, Winford Smith, of E. L. park motorized here and were guests of Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Maxwell and daughters. Sunday evening, they attended service, Miss Jackson "To the Lark," by Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

Maxwell officiating. — The following from the Telegraph is forceful and interesting: "Ferguson out in Texas. Please out in Texas. I will probably out in Alabama—one could afford to feel quite happy, were it not for the shoddy trick put over by Louisiana crackers in nominating that bit of dynamic vulgarity known as Huey P. Long, for U. S. senator. As to that were not enough, they are adding insult to injury by proposing him as a presidential candidate. Nor should Long be blamed more than any other demagogue for getting what he can while the getting is good. The raw things he has said, and the even rawer things he has done, are not half so surprising or shocking as is the fact that his ridiculous, ribald conduct should appeal to the majority of voters in a great state." WALKER'S MELANGE. Rev. D. O. Walker, the "political pastor," of St. James' A. M. E. Church, addressing the opening meeting of St. James' literary forum, Sunday afternoon, attacked the "slavish fidelity" to the Republican party of our voters, asked the defeat of U. S. Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch in November after urging the support of his Democratic opponent, Hon. Robert J. Bulkley of this city, ex-congressman, and declared, "Abraham Lincoln is not an issue in this election." A great part of Walker's speech was given to the on the ground the Johnson Record regarding the stand taken by McCulloch on the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. "It is singular," Walker said, "that, although colored people throughout Ohio urged the rejection of the appointment, both Ohio senators voted for it. Either the Republican party feels that we will give it our support no matter what it does, or it thinks our memories are so short that we can be slapped in the face and forget before election. McCulloch evidently came back to Ohio to consult the man who appointed him the governor on how he should vote on Parker. Bear that man—Myers Y. Cooper—in mind when you go to the polls." (See editorial on Page 2.) HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Fred Grant, age 40, E. 93d St., was finesed $250 and costs by Police Judge Mary B. Grossman today on a charge of selling bank clearing policy slips. It was the highest fine ever given here on that charge. The Press, Sept. 13, '30. Why pick on Grant? There were others (white) who were not fined, at all. Peter Witt, popularly known as "The Town Scold", issued a statement, the first of the week, in which he roasted, both parties, stands on the dry issue, and among other things said: "The Eighteenth Amendment cannot be repealed. Put a tack right here. The Volstead act cannot be enforced. Another tack 468 "Larry" Payne. in this place. To the sorry mess prohibition has brought, there are only two ways out. Either the Volstead act must be amended to permit a higher alcoholic content or the Eighteenth Amendment must be nullified - nullified in the same Bay (the South) have for 60 years nullified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments." Hot stuff! Last week Friday, Acting Police Chief Matowitz closed the club Harlem. E. 49th St., formerly known as the Club Alabama' and the Apex club which was preceded by the Kit-Kat club. The order came as the aftermath of raids by Captain Emmanuel in which a total of 25 persons were arrested, the night before. Saturday, a new series of raids, conducted also by Capt. Potts, got under way with the arrest of 50 men and 13 women. Forty-five of the men and 12 of the women were jailed when raiders forestalled the drawing in the Quincy Police Reserve 6009 Quincy Ave. The place was wrecked and a bushel basket of policy slips and a board were seized. Before the Quincy Ave. foray Potts took two alleged racketeers from an automobile at E. 6th St. and Vincent Ave. One of the men is on the police black list. They were held pending investigation. Three automobiles were arrested an automobile near E. 61st St. and Scovill Ave. A brief case containing bank clearance slips was found in the automobile. Councilman Larry Payne asked Acting Police Chief George Matowitz to make a complete investigation of the letter found recently in Elmer Coles' room in the Hotel Majestic which mentioned his name in reference to protection of racketeering in "The Roaring Third" police precinct. "The Blossom Triplet" said he wanted the writer of the letter found so he could have a "chance to defend himself." Chief Matowitz ordered Captain Emmet J. Potts to do the investigating, seventh charge,ago anything further, the acting chief or the captain, we would like to ask them to disclose the results of their investigation. The people of the third councilmanic district are interested, especially those living in the 11th and 17th wards. Give Larry a chance "to defend himself." Chief! By the way, didn't Mrs Lethia C. Fleming say, during the recent primary campaign, that County Commissioner Jack Harris first disclosed the agreement made, last fall, between herself, her husband and Payne relative to the 11th ward leadership, at Club Harlem, then known as the Apex club or abanion. Not he, had anything to do with the raiding and the police's closing of the club, last week. Can it be that Acting Chief Matowitz and Councilman Larry Payne reached a conclusion to that effect? It looks a little that way. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE OUTSTANDING PLAY! LEADING MINISTERS (WHITE) SAY TEACHES VITAL RELIGIOUS TRUTHS. Marc Connelly's Great Drama Which Has Been Running for Many Months in N. Y. City— 95 Negro Participants. "Green Pastures", Marc Connelly's wonderful drama, which pictures heaven as a Negro fish fry and in which the Angel Gabriel announces the arrival of God by shouting "Gangway, gangway for the Lord God Jehovah!" is looked upon by two Cleveland pastors as teaching vital religious truths which twentieth century Americana needs to consider. Dr. Ferdinand Q. Blanchard of Euclid Ave. Cong. church and Rev. Dilworth Lupton of First Unitarian church, both of whom saw the play in New York City, this summer, used it as a basis for their - sermons. Sunday. While both ministers found the lines of the play to be appropriate and some of the character and scenic conceptions almost a sacrilege, the audiences, they said, were profoundly moved. Mr. Lupton holds that many of the conceptions of "Green Pastures" are not far removed from some of those of current Protestantism. Cites Three Things. "The play sets forth three things that every thinking being must sooner or later face," Dr. Blanchard said. "First, men have made a fearful mess of life. Whoever contemplates life today does so with a sense of dismay at the vast difference between the cleverness with which a few people invent new technology and the wickedness with which the great mass of men use them. No wonder that the Old Testament writer wrote centuries ago what 'Green Pastures' so crudely but so movingly repeats, that when the Lord God contemplates mankind as his creation He cries out, 'It repenteth me that I have made them,' he says. 'I have created them that at the heart of the universe there is an indefinite interest in the world. The Lord God of 'Green Pastures' may be ludicrous simple, a troubled, perplexed spirit whose handwork is betrayed Him. But in the very simplicity of the representation is portrayed something supremely great—that there is an indefinite interest in either that or essential pessimism DOINGS OF THE RACE. Eddie Huff has been advanced to motorcycle policeman at Dayton, O. Our National Association of Graduate Nurses closed its 23d annual session, last week, in Greensboro, N. C. Two white girls have been outraged by white men, and one little white girl ravished and murdered in Indiana by white men since the Marion lynching. Atty. Chas. A.

Y., board of education to establish the "jim-crow" Lincoln school. The battle is on! Our National Association of Waiters and Hotel Employees, Ralph M. Rowland, of Cleveland, O., president, and Norman Dunlap, secretary, will meet in Detroit, Sept. 24-26. Dr. J. E. Coleman, who graduated at the head of his class at Loyola university, is our only senior intern at Cook County (Chicago) hospital. He has received the Rosenwald medical fellowship. Atty. Robert L. Taylor has been advanced from law clerk to assistant attorney of the board of election commissioners of Cook county (Chicago). He is recognized as being one of the best informed lawyers in the state (Illinois) on questions affecting election laws. The editor of the Detroit Independent accuses Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago of "meddling in our local political affairs" and adds: "We hope no citizen of Detroit will ever get so wise that he will go to Chicago to attempt to advise the governor on how to not he should vote for Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson or some other white candidate."

THE COPY FIVE CENTS JURES' ANDING PLAY! (WHITE) SAY TEACHES GIOUS TRUTHS. Drama Which Has Been Run- months in N. Y. City— Participants. for us. And one final message to the audience comes from this drama. A God who cares, who loves, will find a way through the very pain of the world to redeem it. This is the thought which the dramatist has laid hold upon and it leads him as he has held on to the pain of thought and feeling when the cross on Calvary fills heaven with its meaning." Calls Acting Superb. "The contribution of the Negro to the cultural process probably will be in the field of art and religion," Mr. Lupton said. "You sense this when you see 'Green Pastures.' The acting of the ninety-five Negro participants is superb. Although the play was written by a white man, it reveals the heart of the Negro with pain and sorrow and spiritual longevity and deadhead faith. Many religious people who read about 'Green Pastures' are quite shocked. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the religious conceptions of the play are not much more childish than many of the conceptions of current Protestantism. Heaven depicted as a fishry with Negro angels in it is not far different from a heaven of beetles, early gates and Nordic gates. The concession God as a colored preacher is not a whit more primitive than the theot of a golden throne. A God who goes to his office window and through a miracle makes the air hotter or colder is not greatly different from a God who, because of man's petitions, breaks a drought with heavy rain. He is not a ward such ideas when held by ignorant folk, but when held by educated white or colored people they only merit contempt and ridicule. One great task of the progressive Protestant today, either white or colored, is to cull away the old childish conceptions of religion, conserve the eternal truth, rethink the relations with in terms of our own life, and yet, with his religion the simplicity, sincerity and reverence which one feels when he sees 'The Green Pastures.'" EXPOSES OFFICIAL GUILT In the Marion, Indiana, Lynchings—The Chief of Police and the Sheriff's Promises Not Kept. Chicago, Ill. — Startling revelations on the lynchings of Tom Shipp and Abe Smith in Marion, Indiana, in August, are contained in the report of a special committee headed by Atty. Bentall of Chicago. This committee has just returned from Marion, where it was sent by the Chicago International Labor Defense to investigate the lynchings. The report establishes beyond question the active guilt of state and city officers for the brutal crimes. It reveals that: 1. Before the lynchings, several Afro-Americans secured the promise of the chief of police and sheriff to protect the prisoners, but when the mob began to assemble without interference they attempted to get in touch with the Governor at Indianapolis. The latter's secretary hung up the receiver, refusing to talk to them. 2. Sheriff Jacob Campbell (electe- with strong Klan support), after arresting Smith, Shipp and Cameron, hung in a jail, and another (shot in a quarrel between himself and Smith) in the jail, dows facing court-house square; he then circulated the false report that Mary Ball (white) had been raned. 4. Chief of Police Smith, observing the lynching manoeuvers, ordered our policeman on duty to go home. 5. Sheriff Campbell arranged that the doors of the jail and of the cells of Shipp and Smith be unlocked. 6. When the organized mob were ready to get Smith, Shipp and Cameron, Sheriff Campbell was on hand, and backed in front of the mob to the unlocked cells of Smith and Shipp, in this manner leading the mob to the cells. 7. Two soldiers confined in the jail were also threatened with lynching. Among them, W. Bearague, who was badly beaten, is now reported missing. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 1930. If the "colored brother and sister" were as "long" on accomplishing as they are on organizing, what wonderful progress this race of ours would make in a year! One of the real silly things, of a political nature, to appear in several of our newspapers, recently was Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons' interview on U. S. Senator Fess' election to the chairmanship of the Republican National committee. --- Our people will have spent, by Oct. 1, "30, attending "national" conventions, or meets of one kind and another, in August and this month, enough money to almost purchase the "Brooklyn bridge." Detroit, Chicago and New York City led as meeting places. And an economic stringency is on, too. A goodly portion of that money could have been used in a way that would have benefitted all of our people in this country and not have harmed them far more than its use has helped them. John Tandell, age 30, George Grant, age 40, and Frank Murdys age 34, were taken from McIntosh County jail and lynched on three successive days at Darien, Georgia, last week. The state national guardmen, under the command of Col Roy Neal, were present in time to witness the last two. Georgia is sure "running true to form," these days. Apparently jealous of Georgia, Mississippi added two more to its long list of lynch-murders, making five in those two states alone in two days. A fine commentary on American civilization. --- Atty. Chester K. Gillespie recently wrote the manager of the Hanna theater, this city, a splendid letter on that theater's acquisition of Robert McLaughlin, former manager of the Ohio Theater, in an advisory capacity. He urged Manager Ansley Whittendale to not permit the segregation of patrons in his theater that Mr. McLaughlin allowed in the Ohio theater, and called his attention to the fact that as a result of Mr. McLaughlin's apparent color bias several suits under our Ohio Civil Rights law had been successfully instituted in the local courts against the Ohio theater for violations of its provisions. Good work, Chester! Keep it up! URGES SUPPORT OF DEMOCRATS It looks as if local Democratic leaders have thus early got to Rev. D. O. Walker, the "political" pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. Addressing the opening meeting of St. James Literary forum, Sunday afternoon, the West Indian-American "bobblegush" attacked what he pleased to term the "slavish fidelity to the Republican party" of our voters, and also said, just as foolishly: "We have nothing to fear from northern Democrats. All we have to worry about is seeing that the right northern Democrats are elected and sent to Washington." It is clear to be seen, Walker has not lived in this country long enough to know why the apparent "slavish fidelity" to which he referred. Conditions, largely political, force it. Our voters had and still have no other party to which to go. There was and still is a large element of truth in the great Frederick Douglass' statement of many years ago, so wit: "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." It is true, as Walker said: "Abraham Lincoln is not an issue in this election." But what Abraham Lincoln stood for IS and always will be until our people gain ALL the rights and privileges of American citizenship. To the exercising of many of these, national Democracy is unalterably opposed. Brother Walker says: "We have nothing to fear from northern Democrats" and "all we have to worry about is seeing that the right Democrats are elected and sent to Washington." Is that so? HOW SILLY! Southern Democracy controls national Democracy, being "the head and body of the Democratic animal" while northern Democracy is but the tail. And the tail never wags the head and body. This explains why all northern Democrats elected to the Congress and the electoral college have to obey the Democratic control which is made up in its entirety by southern Democrats. Northern Democrats who have been sent to the Congress have always had to bow to this control and will always have to do so, in the future. And this will include so fine an outstanding gentleman as Ex-Congressman Robert J. Bulkley of this city, the Ohio Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator. And it is this very thing that will prevent thousands of Afro-Americans throut Cleveland and Cuyahoga county from casting their votes for him. If Mr. Bulkley were a member of the U. S. Senate, and any of our rights were at stake with the Democrats arrayed on one side and the Republicans on the other, Mr. Bulkley would be compelled to line up with the southern Democrats, leaders of his party. This has always been true in the past, and it is just as true today as it will surely be in the future regardless of his and all other protestations to the contrary. In all the history of the country since the close of the War of the Rebellion, no one has ever seen or heard of one of Walker's "right northern Democrats elected and sent to Washington," and never will as long as southern Democracy dominates the national Democratic party as it has done ever since the Civil War. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK Ohio Afro-Americans used to have from a half dozen to a dozen delegates in every state convention. Last week, there were only two in attendance at Columbus, it seems. The decrease in our number of delegates is a pretty good indication of the decrease in the interest our people have had in Republican success at the polls, in the last ten or fifteen years. This year that growing lack of interest has developed into aggressive opposition, particularly to the two leading candidates on the ticket, Roscoe C. McCullock for U. S. Senator, and Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, a candidate for re-election, that has assumed such proportions as to merit much more serious attention than ever before in the history of the party, especially since the Democratic state (and local vote for this, Cuyahoga County) is the best in many, many years. Then this is an "off-year", one in which Republican defeat, if it is coming, usually obtains. So it behooves the leaders of our party to be up and doing, early and late, to "take nothing for granted", and wage a campaign such as the party has not had in Ohio for many years. Victory, this year, can come only as the result of long and sustained aggressive effort. The wet and dry questions are not helping any effort. Ohio Republicans Adopt an Anti-Lynching and Pro-Civil and Political Rights Plank—“Afros” in Attendance—Two Delegates. Columbus, O.—The Republican State convention, held here, last week Thursday and Friday, added the following plank to its platform: “The Republican party of Ohio favors the enactment and enforcement of adequate laws, state and federal, to prohibit lynching, and promises its party influence in securing a constitutional as to suppress this national disgrace. We further pledge the Afro-American the civil, political and religious liberties guaranteed by our state and federal constitutions.” Our delegates to the convention were State Representative Perry B. Jackson of Cleveland and Atty. Wm. B. Bush of Cincinnati, a candidate for State Representative from Hamilton county. Other members of the race in attendance upon the convention were; Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming, president of our State Federation of Women's clubs; Rev. L. J. VanPelt, also of Cleveland; Mayor Arthur R. Johnston of Miles Heights, and Ray Hughes of this city, assistant prosecutor of Franklin county. Great Sporting Events. Young Jack Thompson, in his contest with Tommy Freeman, was relieved of the walter weight crown through the generosity of Referee Patsey Haley. The unexpected kindness struck the amazement of thousands of white spectators present who from the superior showing of the black fighter had not dreamed that the nerve and charity of Referee Patsey Haley was so gigantic.

AL The Mrs. has a friend whose husband plays a flute in an orchestra in a movie theater and she keeps telling Edna how hard he works. They both think I'm a humbain because I only go to the ball park for three hours every day and some afternoons just sit on the bench. To hear Edna talk you'd think I just went out there to flirt with chorus girls while this other bird broke his back carrying his flute to the house and back. So I went around to this movie house that I had spotted him. He pushed out just one note all night. I stopped at his house to pick up the Mrs. and this bird's wife, Mrs. Thrush, says "Did you have a hard day, dear?" "One of the hardest," says he and both women started getting him sandwiches and coffee. I wish to h—" I'd of been a musician. Our mor-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 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 of this chapter" within the meaning of Section 6279.

A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars (93 v. 12 5).

A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288.

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 nor- thern 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: OBS. ed. and representative of victim of lynch- bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. inst another county. 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 or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 (n) ). 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 enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor of the employee, keeper or manager of shirts, clothes, 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities not less than thereof, shall be furnished not less than those dollars or 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 hundreds dollars to the per-gerived thereby to be recovered in the 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.

Graduate nurses from Freedom hospital, Washington, D. C., are now employed at City hospital and the superintendent commends their excellent work.

As a matter of fact, the new brims do not acquire their nonchalant tilt so much in the pose of the hat as in their actual styling which contrives, in many instances, to make one side longer. To say the least the new silhouette which gives a tip-tilted appearance to the brim is ever so flattering. Then there is this matter of crowns which are that shallow this season they pose the hat way back on the head revealing a becoming framework of wavy hair or else the "placid brow." yes indeed, there is no mistake about it, the contour of head and hat has certainly been revolutionized in the new modes. The trio in the picture shows how smartly the autumn felt hat is interpreting the new tip-tilted "lines." These models are especially interesting in that they have been selected for illustration from among styles which represent the best ideas of a group of American fashion authorities who are interested in advancing both the style and the workmanship of the hat-beautiful to highest degree of attainment. DEEP WINE, DARK C THE SMART COL ACCORDING to orders from fashion headquarters footwear must be as lovely and as colorful as the gown, suit or ensemble with which it is worn. Which means with the costumes in the new and exceedingly handsome dark greens, deep wine and various brown colorings which are scheduled for the coming months we are going to wear shoes made of fine supple kid in perfect match colorings. It is very evident that the creators of our frocks, our wraps, our headwear and our footwear have made it a point to "get together" and talk it over with the result that we are going to match from head to foot especially in view of the fact that the jeweler, the pocketbook maker and even the handkerchief designer have joined this matchmaking group. It is a matter for rejoicing that shoe stylists have selected fine soft and supple kid as the medium-elect for our fall and winter shoes. A kid shoe, like a kid glove, has a decided elasticity which the smartly attired woman demands in her footwear, for the woman with a reputation for being well dressed at all times—who is invariably the subject of admiring glances—is the woman who is absolutely comfortable in her clothes. One among many arguments in favor of kid for milady's shoe is that being more or less porous, it allows the foot to breathe, as it were, hence its comfort. Then again it is resilient and Don't Th But Give it The first hat, which is a superfine fur felt in the very smart acajou (mahogany) brown, displays a bandeau of satin ribbon with a bow under the right-side brim. The hat in the center is a copy of a Talbot model in black felt. Its flat feather trim is posed at the back as are the majority of feather novelties, also ribbon bows, this season. The tip-tilted silhouette as expressed in the concluding model which is of French fur felt is as youthful as it is becoming. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1920. WESTERN Newspaper Galton. GREEN AND BROWN COLORS FOR KID SHOES a shoe made of it conforms to the foot like a glove to the hand. The well dressed woman selects her shoes with the same discrimination that is exercised in choosing a gown or a hat, for the footwear can make or mar the entire costume. Today color is one of the greatest factors in shoes. Leather specialists have recognized and appreciated this fashion consideration. In typical American spirit they have met the challenge with the result that kid shoes are easily obtainable in almost any color from deep wine, green and copper brown to the most esthetic passthades. Shoes in tuneful color play an important part in achieving sartorial perfection for each of the costumes in the picture. The afternoon frock to the left is of rose-rust faille silk with the inevitable lingerie touch of dainty face at the neck and the wrists. Brown kid pumps with beige trim complete the color symphony. The ensemble is of silk in that very new dark color designated as date-plum—one of the off-black shades heralded for this fall. Please to observe the three-quarter length of the coat for it confirms the news of a coming vogue for long-coat ensembles. The coat is lined with a lightweight matching wool fabric with stitched bands of the same trimming the dress. The hat is in self-color and the kid shoes are a deep wine tone. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1930.

HORSES VIE WITH AUTOS IN GAME OF POLO 1930 Some of the members of the Diamond-and-a-Half ranch near Hereford Ore, playing polo according to their own likes. The bold bad men of the West have taken up the eastern society sport and by way of variety use their autos when their ponies do not feel fit. They have cleared off a patch of brush to make a fairly satisfactory polo field, and what they lack in turf etiquette the ranchers make up in rough and ready sport. SPEEDOMETER Often speedometers are blamed for noises that originate elsewhere. According to Summer S. Howard, director of service for a large spark plug company, rarely can noise be traced to the speedometer itself. So-called speedometer noises occur when the flexible shaft or cable is kicked or pushed into a position where it has too sharp a bend. Any motorist, he says, can correct this simply by reaching behind the instrument board and moving the shaft into a more favorable position. How Speedometer Works. Many motorists will be interested in knowing how the speedometer on their car works. The speedometer operates from a drive, which is an integral part of the engine's transmission. One end of a flexible shaft or cable is attached to this drive and the other end to the speedometer. As the shaft revolves the speedometer operates, and for every 1,008 revolutions the speedometer will register one mile. By the same token 1,008 revolutions a minute will indicate 60 miles an hour on the speed dial. Speedometers seldom get out of order nowadays, and whenever they fail to function it usually is due to the breaking of the cable which connects the speedometer with the driving mechanism. This breakage occurs only when the cable has been sharply twisted and bent through carelessness. Most Necessary Device. That the speedometer is one of the most necessary devices on the automobile can be seen from a partial list of services it performs: How your car is performing on acceleration and hill climbing. Gives distance between towns. Guides you when a person gives directions. Tells when to change oil and when to have other services done in accordance with car instruction manual. Tells how much tire mileage you are getting. How much mileage per gallon of gasoline. Tells cost per mile of car operation. Tells you not to drive a new car too fast. "Wreck Ambulance" Car Used in Austrian City A mile-a-minute "wreck ambulance," equipped to meet practically any large scale emergency, has been put into use by the city of Baden, near Vienna, Austria. This is the first time service of this kind has been established in Europe. A second machine of the same type will be equipped for similar work. Each relief machine will carry enough bandages, antiseptics, surgical instruments, and other first aid supplies to trent nearly 50 patients. Gas masks, ready to afford workers protection against all kinds of poison gases, are part of the equipment. Six stretchers and a tent enable an emergency hospital to be erected at the scene of disaster. An attachment will bring about a quart of water to bolling point in five minutes for disinfecting purposes. The machines are expected to save many lives through prompt aid in railroad wrecks, fires and similar disasters.—Popular Science Monthly. Engineers' Rules Help to Automobile Drivers The drills drilled into the locomotive engineer, if practiced by automobile drivers, would aid materially in diminishing traffic accidents, says the National Safety council. Three important practices demanded of engineers follow: Unless you are sure, slow down to a speed at which you can stop in half the distance you can see. Keep your eye on the road. Keep your brakes in condition to stop. (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. When a car is stugglish, loses power on hills and has a slow pick-up, what should be done? Ans. First inspect the spark plugs. By replacing worn plugs new life is given an engine and often expensive repairs are avoided. Q. Why is it particularly advisable to shift the car into second gear when driving on a grade in heavy traffic? Ans. The engine makes a better brake thus taking some of the strain of the regular brake stream. It also permits quicker pick-up. Q. How many gasoline filling stations are in the United States? Ans. Approximately 320,000. Q. How many service stations and repair shops are in this country? Ans. Some 95,800. Q. At what temperature will a battery showing a reading of 1250-1300 freeze? Ans. Approximately 30 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Pretty Loretta Rabbitt, eighteen, of St. Louis, Mo., is probably the youngest of her sex to own and operate a gasoline station in the United States.

The man whose brilliance of wit and compelling charm of anecdote, woven into stories on every current topic, turned baseball slang into classic Americanese. Lardner's genius was never better expressed than in the adventures of baseball's most celebrated "bonehead," Jack Keefe, in "You Know Me, Al" 'PHONE MEN USE DOCTOR'S TOOLS Although the degree, "Doctor of Telephony," does not exist, the skill required of telephone workers in the maintenance of modern telephone equipment approaches the art of surgeons. Not unlike human organisms, the intricate mechanisms of modern telephony need the inspection and care of an expert in order that they may function properly, especially in the dial systems such as are in operation in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Canton, Akron, Youngstown, and many other Ohio cities. ```markdown ``` Telephone maintenance and repairmen, who daily check and correct the operation of the equipment which carries the nation's voices to the four corners of the earth, deal in thousands of an inch. Variation of more than one ten-thousandth of an inch in the adjustment of certain dial telephone instruments will destroy the co-ordination of the various units and disrupt service. To insure efficient telephone service at all times, routine tests are made of the equipment, and at no time is it allowed to vary a fraction from the point at which it functions accurately. An oil gun, closely resembling the hypodermic needle used by physicians to inject fluids into the body, is used in dial exchanges of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company to distribute drops of oil to the working mechanisms of dial equipment. In many cases, too large a quantity of oil at any one point will interfere with the equipment's efficiency. A mirror mounted on a long handle, which might easily be mistaken for a dentist's mouth mirror, has a double duty in the telephone plant. It is employed to observe the condition of minute connections which are hidden behind masses of equipment, and to magnify these connections so that they may be repaired.

WIRE CIRCUITS RELAY PROGRAMS More Than 300 Telephone and Telegraph Men Required For Each Broadcast The range of radio broadcasting, once limited to a few miles, has become national and even international largely because of the nation's vast network of telephone circuits, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. The Bell Telephone System, reaching from coast to coast and from border to border, is as vital to the existence of nation-wide radio broadcasts as the arterial system is to the life of man. Without a method for the proper distribution of blood throughout the body, the life of a human would cease, and similarly, without means of transmitting programs to all parts of the nation, national broadcasting would be doomed. When your favorite radio artist croons into a microphone in a broadcast over a national network —whether he is in Portland, Maine or Portland, Oregon—his voice with its original tone qualities is sent over telephone wires in the form of fluctuating electrical current to your local radio station, and thence into the loud speaker in your home. Broadcast News Events With telephone voice-ways available from radio stations almost everywhere, chain broadcasting companies have been able to give their national audiences direct reproduction of news events, public speeches or musicals, wherever Three Cities Receive Dial Service at Same Time Forty-eight thousand more dial telephones were added to Ohio's system by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company when the three adjoining cities of Akron, Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls were converted to dial service recently in one great project. More than 27 per cent of the Ohio Bell system is now under dial operation, according to company officials. The Akron conversion was the largest that has ever been made and one of the smoothest, it was said. Service was transferred from five old central offices to eight new dial central offices with hardly an interruption. The dial system had been built up around the switchboard system with service going on all of the time. Three new buildings, one of them a seven story structure located in the heart of Akron's business district, were constructed to house the dial system and a third story was added to another building. More than $6,000,000 was spent in the project. A new long distance switchboard was placed in service shortly before the local system was changed over. This is the first time that more than one central office has been cut over to dial service with a new long distance switchboard being placed in service at the same time. The record set by this cutover will stand for a year until San Antonio, "Texas, with approximately 58,000 telephones, is cut over during the latter part of 1931. Dayton, O., with approximately 50,000 telephones, will be converted a short time afterward. they occur. A radio artist may combine travel and work so long as he can reach a radio station equipped with special facilities for relaying his program. A total of 35,662 miles of telephone circuits is used when a nation-wide broadcast is on the air. In all, there are 173 relaying stations in the national hookup. Of this number, 64 are on a temporary basis and only periodically relay programs. The remaining 109 stations are in a permanent hookup and may receive broadcasts at any time. These permanent stations are connected with 25,647 miles of circuit while the temporary stations employ 10,015 miles of recurring circuit which may be cut into service when required. Large Force Required More than 300 telephone and telegraph technicians are required to maintain these circuits and to insure the accurate reproduction of national programs. Monitors, who listen to programs throughout broadcasts, are stationed at all transfer points and at all "booster" stations along the route from the originating station to the relaying stations. It is their duty to check the quality of reproduction and to make any necessary adjustments. "Booster" stations are local. at 50-mile intervals along the routes for the purpose of increasing the volume of the program being sent over the wires. In addition to the telephone plant, many miles of telegraph circuits are utilized to govern the vari mechanical operations of broadcasts. Signals or cues are telegraphed between the originating station and the relaying stations to indicate 'the proper moment to open or close circuits to establish the programs' continuity. A "Busy-Body" This is a mechanical busy-body. With its brothers and sisters, it works in dial exchanges of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company testing telephone lines. It can make more telephone calls per hour than most large city business houses. The little machine, composed of disks and what-nots and driven by an electric motor, operates just as a subscriber does in making a telephone call under the dial system except that it does not ring the bell in the home of the subscriber. It goes steadily about its task until a case of trouble shows up. Then it sets up a clamoring 'bells and flashing of lights until the telephone man gets on the job. PETER B.
