MALONE CAPITIVATES A Large and Enthusiastic Audience At Shiloh Church, Monday Evening — "Poro College in Moving Pictures." Quite an extensive program, which included a playlet, "Spirit of Poro," given by graduates of the great Poro College, was rendered, Monday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church. The features of the evening, however, proved to be Mrs. Annie E. Malone, founder and proprietor of Poro College, and a worlfully interesting series of moving pictures which not only illustrated the great Mrs. Annie E. Malone. Poro system but also showed Poro College's commanding buildings at its former headquarters in St. Louis and at its present headquarters in Chicago. Diplomas were awarded the graduating class by Mrs. Malone, who followed that with an exceptionally interesting and telling interest, and was regularly and effectively practiced. She was introduced by the editor of The Gazette, who referred to her as our first (leading) captain of industry, and her plant as the greatest business enterprise our people have anywhere in the world. Both were warmly greeted, especially Mrs. Malone, of course, by a large and exceptionally enthusiastic audience in spite of the fact that Monday evening was one of the busiest days of the winter season, thus tar, and we had, as everyone knows, nearer zero weather than most people desired. Everyone of the thirty-five graduates received a large, expensive and beautiful bouquet with her diploma just as did the 175 New York City graduates, last week Friday evening. Mrs. Malone and her several assistants left immediately after the entertainment for Baltimore where In the graduate exercises of another large Poro system class.

"That there is need of teaching 'Negro' history to white children in white or mixed schools, in order to give them respect for a tenth part of the population by showing them the contribution of the 'Negro', which would tend to build up a concept of interracial dependence and break down the attitude of superiority toward the body politic, eventually in lynchings, segregation, etc."—New York World, Oct. 26, '30. Tuesday, Atty. Chester K. Gillespie wrote the editor of The Gazette as follows: "Some time ago I wrote you that I had secured a judgment for my client, Albert J. Maxwell, against the local County Commissioners for $400 for violation of your Ohio Anti-lynching statute (law). I am very pleased now to advise you that, Monday, the County Commissioners paid this judgment ($400) in full." Good!

He Insists There Is No Color-Discrimination and That All Boys Eligible Can Enter—Gives Much Valuable Information, Too. Editor Press: Your editorial entitled "Opportunity in Our Trade Schools" should have included the entire statement of Mr. Charles W. Chessnut. Mr. Chessnut's article, printed in the Cleveland, is most intelligently written. He is not, however, correctly corrected relative to certain parts of the vocational education problem in the city of Cleveland. May I quote that portion of Mr. Chessnut's article which refers to vocational education? "Due to the disappearance of the old-time system of apprenticeship, it is hard for a colored youth to learn a trade, and the trade schools conducted by the Board of Education are so tied up by rules and regulations, largely dictated by the labor unions, that it is difficult for a Negro boy to acquire a trade in them. He can not study unless he secures in advance the promise of a job where he can do practical work on part-time during his studies, or where he will be permanently employed at the end of his course. The difficulty in placing them has caused the office to offer them a number of Negro students. A colored youth can take elementary training in the East Technical High School, but practical training in many trades can be acquired in factories which discourage or limit the number of apprentices and especially Negro apprentices." I would not construe this as a charge that Negro students do not have a fair chance to learn a trade in the trade schools in so far as the Board of Education is concerned. The trade schools conducted by the Board of Education are not "tied up by rules and regulations, largely to the fact that there are more part-time students enrolled who are employed by "open shop" employers than by "closed shop" groups. There are two forms of trade education offered in Cleveland. One is technically known as all-day trade training, wherein the pupil's entire course of study is offered within the school building, the content consisting of three intensive hours of practical shop instruction in one trade and three additional hours of related subject matter per day. The course is taught in East Technical High School, Technical and Collinwood High schools. The equipment and content are equal to that of any standard all-day trade school conducted in any part of the United States. Colored boys are admitted upon the same basis as any other race or group. There are approximately 108 colored boys now enrolled in East Technical High School in trade preparatory courses. Mr. Chessu refers to these courses as elementary training course. This is the training every effort has been made to bring these courses up to the standards of all-day trade training courses offered elsewhere. The second form of vocational education conducted in Cleveland is known as "part-time trade extension" training which is offered at the Cleveland Trade School. The entire objective of this school is cooperation with various acts and practices of Cleveland Trade and耐寒ship committees for the training of apprentices already employed in industry. Mr. Chesnutt states that the "labor unions in general have accepted Negro members." With but few exceptions every building trade in Cleveland has agreed to send every boy employed as an apprentice to the trade school for four hours per week of intensive instruction for their entire four years of education. The boy are accepted by the school and trained as rapidly as contractors employ them, and all receive equal treatment. The few building trades not sending apprentices to the school have failed to do so due to a lack of co-operation upon their own part and not thus any failure of the Board of Education relative to a desire to participate. One building trade employing a large number of Negro craftsmen named Lester sends its apprentices to the school in spite of the fact that the employers' group of this particular craft was ready to co-operate. In all of the mechanical trades, including auto mechanics, machine shop practice, soundry practice, and pattern-making, apprenticeship is conducted in co-operation with various manufacturers' associations, 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 compari-son with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

For the mechanical trades the trade M. B. Amy. Charles W. Chesnut school does operate one year of all-ways trade training preceding apprenticeship (for 10 years) every boy is presented to the employing group for indentureship. The Cleveland Trade School is not large enough to enroll a number in excess of the opportunities for placement. Any boy may apply for admission. All are given the same tests of mechanical aptitude, since it would be a waste of public tax money. Wife of the boy's time to train him intensively for a trade for which he had no aptitude, and where he could have no hope of being employed on a part-time basis the second year of his school enrollment. No discrimination has been made by the trade school against colored applicants. Not many apply. Some do not position themselves as indicated by the tests and fail to pass them in the same manner that many white boys fail. The statement that "officials discourage the education of Negro students" is partially true, to this extent only. Any boy attending the public schools is entitled to intelligent vocational guidance. Mr. Chesnutt states himself that "practical training in many trades can only be acquired in factories which discourage or limit the number of apprentices and especially Negro apprentices, by boy, who is or colored, applying for admission to course terminating in placement in a specific vocation only should be given accurate and honest information about his chances of getting a job. Until Cleveland industries and employers in all lines of work are willing to employ colored workers, educational officials, when questioned, will tell the truth relative to the situation, and no boy will be refused admission, but he enters with the full knowledge of what his chances are for success in any given vocation in so far as school officials are to form him. Colored boys who have attended school courses and technical trade courses have found difficulty in securing placement as indicated by Mr. Chesnutt. In fact the schools have exerted every effort to secure jobs for them with the full co-operation of the Negro welfare association. A part-time school is not in a position to force an employer to hire an employee that he does not desire. A part-time school will train as many employees, white or colored, as employers are willing to send on a part-time basis for advanced training. The technical high schools will train colored boys on the same basis that they would be trained in schools have exercised, no discrimination.

In a statement issued, last week, President Herbert Hoover said that the loss of “world business” had much to do with the economic de- pression in this country in 1929. This reminds us of the official state- ment issued from Washington, D. C., Several months ago, in which it was announced that the loss of this country’s foreign trade during the first three or five months of this year was cight hundred million dol- lars greater than that of the corre- sponding months of last year. There are various reasons for the loss. of this “world business.” Chief among these are the foreign Jealousy of the financial progress and standing of the United ‘States during and since the World war, and te unfortunate and mistaken policy this country has pursued in interfering in the af- fairs of Mexico, Venezuela, Santo Domingo, Haiti and other South At- lantic countries. No country in the world can afford the loss of foreign trade, ‘world business,” that this country has sustaingd in a steadily increasing degree for at least four years and escape economic depres- sion. The belief that the loss of such trade or “world business’ is the chief cause of the depression has been growing on us for many ‘menths and continues to do so. THE BALANCE OF POWER. Ralph Burkholder, The Cleveland Press “polities editor,” had the fol lowing in that paper, Nov. 27, ‘30: “The resignations of Counellmer Kennedy and Petrash, Democrats, to accept probable state politica Jobs under the new governor (Dem.), would leave. vacancies In the Democratic Council minority which Republican’ leaders would Im- mediately fill with faithtul G. 0. P. men. The addition of two Repub- Hean councilmen would give the Re- publicans a clearcut’ majority in that body, and, what is more im- portant, ‘independence from the “Negro” triumvirate” composed of Councilmen Clayborne George, Law- rence Payne and LeRoy. N. Bundy. ‘Triumvirate Irks Leaders. “It is mo state secret that Re- publican leaders have not relished seeing the balance of power in the hands of this group. “Before the resignation of John Sulzmann, veteran Council member who was elected sheriff, the balance of power rested squarely in the hands of the three ward leaders. “Their power was weakened some- what by the selection of Herman Kehen. The addition of two more Republicans, it is pointed out, would destroy their effectiveness. The Re- publicans could then command 14 Votes, even tho the trio declined to play ‘with the organization.” With the “balance of power” in thelr hands, ever since their indue- tion in counell, the first of the year, what have “The Blossom Triplets” accomplished for our people of this community? There was and still is so much that they could have done, and have not done. Now they are gradually losing the “balance of power” which they should have used to lessen the large number of color-lines in the various elty de- partments, to get better service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. street-car lines which run thru the very heart of the sections of the city most largely populated by Afro- Americans. Like Mrs. Mary Martin, our member of the local school board, they haven't done a thing worth- while, but seem to feel that the ac- quisition of a few paltry jobs 1s all- sufficient. But it is not? Our people want and expect something of vast- ly more importance to them, and if “The Blossom Triplets” and Mrs. Martin don’t wake up to this fact very soon, all of them will surely be “out of luck” mext year in the fall time. The outlook for these four “worthies,” at this time, is any- ee gy ECONOMIC DEPRESSION. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1930 PRT ?

The filing of a petition asking a receiver for the Credential Bond & Mortgage Co., in Common Pleas court, last ‘week, has disclosed charges to the effect that Luther R. White and Reuben Black have re- duced the assets of the company from $60,000 to $10,000, and that White and Black were holding il- legally the offices of acting vice- president and general manager, and acting secretary and treasurer, re- spectively, The petition also charges that Black and White loaned them- selves $12,000 of the company’s money and loaned other persons sums without security, and without the consent or knowledge of the board of directors, knowing that the money would not’ be paid back. It alleges that Black and White en- gaged in a game of chance in Jan- uaty, 1929, known as “the clearing house,” using the company's money to operate the same, and converted to themselves assets and money be- longing to the Credential Bond and Mortgage Co. The plaintiffs fur- ther charge that Black and White drew checks in the name of the company for large sums of money, knowing that there were not sufll cient funds on deposit, and that this was done £0 often that the credit of PRUs Compare Our Prices The Woodland-E. 55th = OPEN DAILY = UNTIL 6 P.M.

As bad as it has been for many months, in recent months it has been made infinitely worse by taking off one run week either, the latest coming last week when the runs were discontinued. And Brennan of the Council's transportation committee, too, "The Blossom Triplets" have never made any effort to do away with the many color-lines in the various departments of the city, and Mrs. Mary Martin seems wholly oblivious to the many in the school board's department of the city. All four of these representatives of color "The Blossom Triplets" and Mrs. Martin, had better wake up, soon, get busy and DO something for our Center. We want better service on the City, and we want some of those color-lines skipped from the city and school-board departments. The least they can do is to try to do something instead of remaining passive and apparently oblivious to the facts indicated in the foregoing. Better wake up, "brothers and sister," for the "ax" is up for all of you, for next fall. Prime Sport News "Bert Williams, Best Comic." Ed Jacobs, motion picture critic of The News, had the following in Sunday's edition of that matter: "But the greatest comedian of all time and of all races and color, if you will take me as an authority was the late Bert Williams, whose pantomime poker game I so poorly imitated. Bert had a heart as big as a man, and I was amazed by many years he played with the 'Follies' and what comic among the scores Ziegfeld showed us throughout these years was as funny as Bert. I did not know his partner, Walker, as intimately, but when he got into his snappy clothes and dusted on the bronze powder he would be a member well the night at the old High Street theater in Columbus when his mental breakdown began and from which he never recovered. He kept on singing 'Bonjo Buddy, the Chocolate Drop' over and over. The musicians did not know what to make of it and neither did the auditioners, improvised some 'business' to go out on stage and lead Walker off. The latter never appeared in public again and died within a year." **Wilberforce Wins, 13 to 0.** Wilberforce O.

REFRESHING FRANKNESS Of a Noted Jew in Commenting Upon Race Discrimination—Kicked Out of Several Jewish Restaurants. New York City—In an interview with a reporter, Michael Gold, noted Jewish writer and author of "Jews Without Money," bitterly attacked the institution of discrimination. "Race discrimination, declared Gold," is based in economic exploitation." Going on he stated with the mimo convoy in the maze in race. Watch the spectacle in a big garment strike—Jewish boss working with Irish cops and Italian gangsters to beat up Jewish workers." Speaking on the discrimination against "Negroes," Gold expressed himself in no uncertain terms: "I have no sympathy for the upper class Jew who wails about discrimination at Harvard, at many medical schools, and at high-class hotels, because they discriminate against Jews. And I've been ordered out of several Jewish restaurants because I was with Chance McKay, the colored poet. Some Jews have taken up the worst prejudice of the South. Many, who got the same sort of treatment in Russia, now hand it back to the 'Negro.'" As a boy of fifteen, Gold got the JOHN P.

By RING LARDNER Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It NEW AUTO EMBODIES AIRSHIP FEATURES RX 7014 A revolutionary new automobile, shaped like an airship and capable of greater speed as a sedan seating seven than as a stripped chassis, was recently demonstrated in London by its inventor, Sir Dennis Burney, designer and builder of the giant English airship R-100. In appearance the "Burney Streamline," as the new car is called, suggests the airship with low front, sloping windshield, crescent curved top and long, tapering end, extending far beyond the rear wheels. Another innovation is the engine at the rear, which eliminates noise, heat and fumes while driving. Sir Dennis asserts that if the car could reach 180 miles an hour it would actually rise in the air, owing to its streamlining. It is a straight eight, of 22 horse power and is capable of 80 miles an hour. Smooth riding is assured by having each wheel independently sprung. Must Be Serviced Motorists should not neglect the oil filter on their car. Clean oil means longer engine life and smoother performance. The oil filter removes dirt, carbon and other foreign matter from the oil. The removal of this foreign matter decreases wear on the moving parts of the engine, thus assisting in prolonging its life. It is important that the filter cartridge be removed after 10,000 miles of driving, as after this mileage it becomes filled with the foreign matter taken from the oil and ceases to function at highest efficiency. If the cartridge is not renewed at this mileage the whole purpose of the filter is defeated. Device for Mounting on Rims of Various Sizes The device illustrated will prove serviceable in mounting tires on rims of various sizes. It consists, as shown, of a wooden platform in which three rings of holes are bored part way through.

By choosing the proper ring of holes it is possible to get a wedge which will spread any rim till it locks. The cost of a rim spreader of this type is low. —Popular Science Monthly. ```markdown ``` In a prenuptial contract a Virginia couple agreed never to make any claim to each other's property. Obviously there are two automobiles in that family. The formula is that the square of the miles per hour, less the age of the young driver at the time of the collision, is equal to the unimportance of his errand. They stopped long ago using kerosene for flushing out the engine crankcase, but it is kerosene that still provides the best bath for rear and front wheel bearings. One of the St. Louis lads who drove an automobile backward across the continent says the chief expression of this method of travel is "a pain in the neck." Quite so! Where the spark is not automatically controlled, the driver should remember that leaving it constantly in the advanced position is not a mark of good handling of the car. * * * Headlights can be thrown out of adjustment by the slightest bump of the front part of the car. This is due to lamps being mounted on front fenders, standards and tiers. * * * It is a great deal easier to wash the car with a hose if the nozzle is left off entirely. The nozzle, regardless of the setting used, gives the water greater pressure than if it is allowed to flow unrestricted from the end of the hose.

A few motorists, when their engines begin to lose power, start experimenting with different kinds of fuels, little realizing that the trouble is loss of compression, which is a loss of power. There are many causes of this trouble which are difficult to remedy, writes Fred Kingsbury in the Cleveland News. The first thing is 'to test the compression of each cylinder. If one varies from another the next job is to locate the cause. There may be a leak in the piston rings, or there may be a leaking valve, pet cock, spark plug or through the cylinder head gasket. Of course a cylinder may be scored, but that is another problem. Tighten Cylinder Head Gasket. The cylinder head gasket must be kept tight. This tightening must be done evenly all around, taking up a little on each nut until all are tight. Sometimes the piston rings are turned so that all openings are in line. A poor grade of oil will prevent a tight compression seal. Be sure to use the finest oil obtainable and the grade prescribed by the manufacturer of your car. If a cylinder is worn oval there is no remedy except that of reboring. Sometimes kerosene will help to free the piston rings of carbon. This should be used, however, when the motoris' is ready to drain the crankcase, as dilution of the oil is likely to result. Tighten Spark Plugs. Make sure that the spark plugs are tight and that a gasket of good copper and asbestos is provided. A cracked porcelain will allow compression to escape. If your engine is fitted with priming cups be sure they are tight and stay closed. During the compression stroke the valves should be closed. If there is a broken or weak spring, or even faulty adjustment, the closing operation will be prevented and there will be no compression. If the timing is incorrect, a loss of compression will be noticeable in all cylinders in the engine. Keep the engine free of carbon and be sure the time and tapet adjustments are correct. Pedestrian, in Walking. Pedestrians on marked crosswalks at highway intersections not controlled by traffic signals have the right of way over motorists, according to traffic ordinances in most cities. In the Los Angeles traffic ordinance this is specifically provided in sections stating that: "It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to drive into any crosswalk outside of the central traffic district, which is marked as provided in Section 11 of this ordinance, while there is in such crosswalk upon the half of the roadway upon which such vehicle is traveling any pedestrian engaged in crossing the roadway until such pedestrian shall have passed beyond the path of said vehicle. "It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to drive into any unmarked crosswalk while there is in such crosswalk upon the half of the roadway upon which such vehicle is traveling any pedestrian engaged in crossing the roadway until such pedestrian shall have passed beyond the path of said vehicle, when the pedestrian shall indicate his intention to cross by a timely and continuous warning by holding up his hand, palm out toward approaching traffic." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY DECEMBER 6, 1930 'TWIXT FUR AND FEATHER TRIMS WINTER HATS ARE EVER SO SMART DEBUTANTES WHO "KNOW" STYLE GO WEARING VELVET TO THE "PARTY" TWINT fur and feathers, thus does fancy wend its way when it comes to trimming for the newer chapeaux. And having thus said; the story is not yet begun, especially in regard to modish feather effects which run the gamut from gay and debonair Robin Hood and Yankee Doodle effects for sports felts to plumage of the most romantic and picturesque sort when it comes to hats of ultra formality. The three models at the top in the group pictured call attention to the wide versatility expressed in this season's feather trims. For the social program which calls for hats of dressiest mien, such striking types are being shown as the close-fitting tricorne of black hatters's plush, its two glycerined plumes going to the extreme as to length. A very smart dinner hat, this! In direct contrast to this formal portrait effect is the youthful for felt hat in the center, the brim of which features a wide side and a shallow crown. It has a fancy leather trim with a DEBUTANTES WHO WEARING VELVET WEARING a swanky velvet bolero suit in the morning to go shopping, and at midday in the smart restaurants a trim and trig little velvet frock sans trimming, and at fashionable tea in the afternoon a flattering lace-embellished dressy velvet gown, not yet does the debutante busy in the social swirl "call it a day" and quit, but on into the night does this style-wise sophisticate continue to wear velvet. What's more, her vanity and her love of the beautiful is not satisfied with velvet for the frock to wear to the "formal" and the dance, but she who has made her bow to society must needs have a "scrumptious" ermine-trimmed velvet wrap to wear with it. And just to show you how charming a velvet-clad young woman can look, here's her picture in two poses, as she Your Copy or an Acqu multi-colored quill set on one side. A brown vis-a-vis body hat is photographed to the top at the right, which is of lightest weight. Brown- and-sand quills are posed at the back. As to fur-trimmed millinery there's nothing smarter than the black velvet —or the black felt hat, for that matter —which is trimmed with white fur. The off-the-face model to the right drapes dainty French felt with a long side effect, contrasting its lustful black with a motif of white ermine. The group concludes with a stun- ning model designed especially for the youthful matron. It is styled of black velvet—yardage for the draped soft crown with wide velvet ribbon for the side loops. The cornet trim is of white galak. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1932 Western Newspaper Union.) NO "KNOW" STYLE GO LVET TO THE "PARTY" appears with and without her adorable wrap. Being fully aware that the smartest thing of the season is black velvet trimmed in white ermine for the evening wrap, she chooses a girlish cape-model as illustrated. When it comes to her gown she indulges in nile green transparent velvet, does the "coming out" daughter. Of course there is not a particle of trimming on the frock of her choice, for the better styles rely solely on the beauty and luster of their material for effect. And here's where fabric manipulation comes to the rescue, its artful intricacies being sufficiently decorative, such as, for instance, the softly draped Vionnet neckline which graces the semi-fitted bodice and the defly paneled skirt which is, as it should be, of dancing length as the standing pose of the pretty debutante so clearly shows. Had this young fashionable selected light turquoise blue for her frock instead of pale green the color scheme would likewise have qualified as 100 per cent perfect, for the mode is all enthusiasm concerning costumes for both daytime and evening which have gone "black-and-blue." A touch of blue enliven many a black velvet chapeau this season and as for the myriads of dresses made of black velvet with spatches of flattering blue, the list is infinite. The latest note is the costume jewelry set to wear with black velvet. This same includes, in addition to necklace, bracelet and earrings, a clever ornament set with turquoise to be clipped on the hat at just that point which will make it most becoming. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1930 Newspaper Union) copy of The Guaintance wh Joint Xmas Gifts --- We have a friend who every year gives her family a joint Christmas present. This gift never precludes this friend ways the redecoration of a part, at least, of one room in their house. This year it is to be new overdrapes in the living room. This is a fairly large room with two exceptionally tall windows at each end. They unfortunately tend to accentuate its length whereas they curatively "push out" the side walls. Our friend has therefore devised a clever scheme for broadening the aspect of these windows and distracting one's eyes away from the height and length of the chamber. She has selected the two softly textured panels, fitted ed. The one, you will notice, has a richly designed floral motif—in shades of lovely deep rose, Delf blue and the same beige found in the room's wall paper. It is always a mistake to hang very shiny fabrics in the room, but it is allowed with long use. Either everything else will become noticeably dingy; or the new fabrics will stand out like diamonds on a bandit. This drapery material is not shiny as would be artificial silk; it is soft and gentle silk. It has the selfsame mellowness of this charming old room. Notice the plain antique velvet chosen for the low-hanging-bringing-the-eye-downward valance. It, too, possesses the softer luster of durened cotton, which incidentally makes a very durable and permanent fabric. It does not easily cling. Its shade of rose is identical with the rose of the side drapes' floral motif, but it does not "hold" the eye upward as would the other material. The effect, carefully thought out, does definitely tend to widen the room; it also adds a more older decorations; and composes, we think, a genuinely ingenious "whole-family" gift. THE COLORED VOTE. Editor Cleveland News:—With no desire to detract materially from the impression of the Walter White letter in a recent issue of The News, permit me to say in the interest of truth that the only three wards of Cleveland's 33 carried by Senator Roscoe C. McCullock were the so-called colored wards, 11, 12 and 17. In the fourth so-called colored wards, but one but 55 per cent colored, Senator McCullock ran only 1,181 votes behind the vote given Robert J. Buckley, the total ward vote being 5,869. The senator carried nearly all of the so-called colored wards in the state of Ohio. The fact is, his defeat and those of other Republicans throughout the state were brought about by the economic depression. There were other contributing causes, of course, but they were minor, and the fact is that Acting Secretary White, as far as the colored vote of Ohio is concerned, greatly overestimates the influence and independent work during the campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he has a part of that organization sought by Harry C. Smith.

You may roll them anywhere and you may wear any place almost any place when you drive your own car (from either the front or back seat); when you play your own game of golf, or when you walk upon the streets of your own home town or city. Life, in the midst of things mechanic, is actually becoming individual in certain respects. This reminds us of the difference between fashion and style, the former being the current exposition of the latter. In the case of the latter, you can wear a pet fashion of the moment, and studying yourself in a mirror meanwhile, bind the ends about your head in the style most suited to you yourself. Every day you can currently if you are a person of moods.

Heroism of three operators in the Canfield exchange of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company and resourcefulness of telephone workmen were important factors in summoning aid and in maintaining communication with the outside world when fire ravaged the village's business section recently. Mrs. Colia Swank, night operator, flashed the word to Youngstown firemen. With Miss Edith Hunt, chief operator, and Miss Eda Meyerhofer, day operator, who had been roused from their beds by the fire siren, she operated the switchboard, sending out calls for aid and handling calls of inquiry from residents. As flames ate into adjoining buildings, it became apparent that the telephone exchange was a doomed. Telephone men prepared to move the switchboard, cutting the cables with pruning shears.

The operators left the switchboard, the remaining cables were cut, and the switchboard was carried to a nearby residence, where service was re-established. Five minutes later the exchange was a mass of flames. Canfield was without telephone service from 1:30 a. m. until 3 a. m., when one line to Youngstown was re-established. Additional long distance lines were functioning later in the morning and local service had been completely restored less than 20 hours after the start of the fire. During the interim, six school boys acted as messengers to summon Canfield residents to the temporary telephone exchange headquarters for important incoming long distance calls.
