Crosswairth, N. Y. City. In a recent issue of "The New Masses" Michael Gold, its editor, in true Communist fashion stretched himself beyond his natural limits as a student of social forces when he made out a case for the Negro and the white. He was relayed in parts to the Negro press and many of our editors gave prominent space to it. Like all known Communist propagandists in the United States, Mr. Gold was most attractive when recounting the many and varied evils attendant upon Negro life in America and how he resisted the temptation to indulge in the delightful Communist pastime of "truth betrayal" especially when discussing KEL2 107 bunk by Crosswidth. the Socialists by Crosswidth. Gold climbed to the edge of edictacy because a few Southern textile workers attended a convention in Paterson, N. J., at which was spoken "the language of social revolution." The presence of these tall, raw-boned 100 percent Americans whom Brother Gold claims five years ago were Ku Kluxans, at a convention seating 100 percent of the doctor's eyes that he saw "Southern labor awakened" and vouchsafed the prophecy that "American capitalists would no longer be able to use Southern workers in the role of Cossacks as the Czar of Russia used to do." Gastonia, N. C., had suddenly become "a modern Bunker Hill" and Communism "has at last struck its roots in American history." "The Communist Party had succeeded where before socialists had failed" and "the Communist Party had The historical continuity of the picture was somewhat broken when the editor failed to place on Bunker Hill, dead or alive, the celebrated Crispus Attucks, although Negro Tolstys, Gorkys and Walt Whitmans were there Following this fine piece of fictional writing by Gold, the Negro press is now being treated to other fantastic stories about the rapid growth of Communism among Negroes; and apparently our press is relishing this Communist cooked porridge. According to these latest thousands of Negroes have made the remarkable discovery that life is the best for all our racial and social lives. Is it? We shall see. Mine is not the desire to deny to HONORS HER FATHER. In memory of her father, Rev. Ira A. Collins, who built St. John's A. M. E. church, this city, the 100th anniversary of which was held, recently, Mrs. Cleota Collins-Lacy, soprano soloist and teacher, will give a recital on Friday, day at, 4 P.

Collins are especially invited while the general public will be cordially welcomed. No admission fee. The church should and doubtless be packed to the doors, for Ira A. Collins was one of the few really beloved and best pastors St. John has had, and the Guests know precisely all of them well, from "Father" (Rev.) Warren down to Dr. J. Albert Sterrett, the present energetic and able pastor. Communists their right to propagate the Negro masses even though it is a cardinal tenet of Communist creed to deny to all who differ from them the right to a differing opinion. Nor would I question Communist faith. Communist faith. On the contrary I would like to see the Negro study the Communist movement and conduct, for that would be the safest guarantee that he would reject Communist and all that goes with it, as if not more so, than white tariat whether or not the proletariat desires it. Communists believe in "the theory of misery" which teaches that the deeper down you press men in the social and economic mile the sooner will they revolt. This theory stands today rejected alike by social scientists and students of any merit. The facts of life rather support the view that communists are the social discontent" and that "the who has least wants least." Communists believe that democracy is a bourgeois institution which along with capitalism must be destroyed root and branch. On the other hand, more rational people hold that the ideals of genuine democracy have not yet been realized but that many of the instruments for the complete realization of communism have been developed and passed down to us by preceding generations who won them in the struggle against divinely ordained kings and others. Communists believe that "truth," "honor," "morality," are all bourgeois notions with which no proletariat should hobnob. Informed people, however, recognize that out of the welter of human experience certain codes governing conduct were evolved and that as we grow in mental stature and sense more and more complex, we acquire habits, customs and ideologies will go by the board because a workers have done. Communism represents the most erratic, undemocratic and impractical of all the movements of social protest extant in the world today. Communism is not radicalism, it is erraticism. Communism is based not upon the social and economic facts of modern life, but largely on the fact that a comparatively few strongly willed social revolutionists, so-called, who succeeded in securing power at a time and in a land when any disciplined group possessing courage and organization could have seized power. Communism has brought into the arena of constructive social engineering much chaos and thereby greatly retarded our progress toward social and economic justice, and this is true in spite of the fact that the Russian experiment has made in a way that it has a negative index in the direction toward affecting fundamental changes in our social and economic life. Communism lacks a realistic approach to the problems developing out of Capitalism. In so far as the Communists have evidenced any and all the problems of social and economic nature it has been only on those occasions when the SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THE NEXT CONGRESS IN THE NEXT CONGRESS THE CONGRESSMAN SPEAKS TO OVER 2,000 ON A SUNDAY IN A CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, HALL. Warned to Stay Away, He Went Anyhow—"Calls U. S. Senator Baird's Hand"—Pickens Plea—Great Meeting. Camden, N. J.—Addressing an audience of 2,000 citizens in Convention Hall, recently, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago said there is only a majority of two of Republican members in the next Congress and they need every vote. "That means, in the next two years, my vote will be more important and weighty than that of your own Senator," said Mr. DePriest. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch of which Irvin T. Nutts is president. Wm. Pickens, field secretary, also spoke, criticizing the Camden county prosecutor's office for failure to prosecute charges of police brutality, declaring that citizens should be allowed to boxlet box Mr. DePriest took issue with Senator Baird (Rep. N. J.): "I have been told that Senator Baird declared here that I was putting the Negro back fifty years and that I should be barred from Camden. Great influence was brought to bear to keep me from coming here. I have a letter in my pocket which informed me that this was to be a Democratic meeting. If I offended your Senator by advising you to protect yourself by using the ballot box, I offer no apology whatever. The black community has only the social equality he used of asking for equality we have ever known is what the white race has itself established. We struggle for an equal opportunity before the law, in protecting our rights. That is all the Negro wants and he can build his own social standing as he sees fit." Pickens said he had been trying to prosecute several white policemen in Camden for abusing three respectable citizens. pressure of circumstances forced them to discard theoretical Communism for the realism of modern Socialism. Communism is a frank denial of many of the most cherished ideals for which practical idealists very rarely have strung on the old dogma of the divine right of kings Communists would substitute the divine right of a dictator; only, so they say, their dictatorship would dictate in the interest of the prole newer environment has made them obsolete, while others will be kept because of their adaptability and manliness. Communists believe in the Gospel according to Marx and Lenin, while people less superstitious prefer to apply to the accumulated experiences of mankind and to the economic and social institutions born of these experiences, the light of newly discovered theories, apparently to attack the problems of the present and chart our course toward the future. Baltimore, Md.—The funeral services of the late Dr. Pezavia O'Connell were held at Sharp St. M. E. church, Sunday week. There was no preaching, only short eulogies. Dean Haywood of Morgan College presided and paid a fine tribute to the deceased. Dr. Baldwin, Dr. Spencer, Rev. Hargis and Rev. Fineger also spoke briefly. The services lasted forty-five minutes and were very impressive. Congressman Oscar DePriest has been singularly successful in his talks outside of the Congress. We hope he will be as fortunate in his talks in the next Congress where his vote is to be far more important because of the small Republican majority. There is need, too, great need as a matter of fact, of the right kind of talk in behalf of our people in that august body, not only for the benefit of its members but also for the benefit of all the people of the country. They cannot be reached as well in any other way and our people are in great need of just such helpful assistance. It is a great opportunity for the right kind of a federal representative and we believe Oscar DePriest, in the light of his two years' experience, will be able to "measure" to the expectations of his hosts of friends of both races or groups. It is really a wonderful opportunity for our only Congressman. Yale Glee Club Concert.

A Million Dollar Gas Well Jackson, Miss.—Graves No. 1 well of the Pioneer Oil and Gas Company blew in, recently, about a mile east of Jackson, making an estimated flow of from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily, and is one of the big wells of the country. It is valued at a million dollars. The Pioneer Co. is about to close a deal for the sale of its gas to one of the big pipe-line companies. This is the first time in American history that a well of this kind has been brought in by a company wholly owned by our people.

This country gave $10,000,000,000 to foreign nations, fighting during the World War. Wet congressmen have a beer bill and will push it, but, outnumbered nearly three to one by drys, they probably will not push it very far. Congress considers forbidding all immigration into the United States for five years. The fear is that somebody might take the job of an American, or become a public charge. Too many Americans without jobs now. Mr. DeWart, who owns the N. Y. Sun, thinks this country should not be pitch-forked into the league of nations (notions) through the back door of the world court, and wisely decides to let the people know about it. He will put his views into a page advertisement to be printed in 100 newspapers at his expense. Good! for Mr. DeWart. IS IT RETRIBUTION? The "black fog" which swept thru the Muese Valley in Belgium, last week, bringing death to nearly one hundred persons as well as a number of the lower order of animals, "carried with it a particularly devastating form of influenza," according to Sir Wm. Simpson, noted authority on plagues and epidemics. We have heard the belief expressed in all sincerity, in the last few days, and by intelligent people, too, that the most unfortunate "fog of death" was only retribution, punishment, being visited upon the Belgian people because of the horrible treatment visited upon native black Africans in the days of King Leopold. It will be recalled that the natives in the Belgian Congo, Africa, who failed to bring in a certain amount of rubber, suffered the loss of fingers, hands, toes, feet, arms, legs, etc., horrible treatment, as punishment for the same. It ought also to be recalled that King Albert, the present ruler and son of the heartless individual referred to, who succeeded his father, invigored against the fliendish cruelty being visited upon the natives while his father lived, and abolished it as soon as he gained the power necessary to do so. But, "the Lord works in a mysterious way." Maybe "the fog of death" is retribution. Who knows? The National Equal Rights league and Anti-Lynching Congress delegation which called upon President Hoover, recently, not only asked him to recomend anti-lynching lesisigation to Congress but also asked him to "abolish the color-line in all federal departments and give Uncle Sam clean hands." Editor William Monroe Trotter was the spokesman of the delegation and should be given credit particularly for the second request, as there is still grave doubt in the minds of many statesmen-jurists as to whether or not Congress can pass a law against lynching which the U. S. Supreme court would hold constitutional. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-eight years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. APPOINT THE SENATOR. Ex-State Senator John P. Green, the father of the legislation that years ago made "Labor day," a holiday in Ohio, is the oldest practicing attorney at the local bar. For nine years, many years ago, he served this city and county as a Justice of the Peace, an elective position even at that time. While a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and the State Senate, the Senator continued the practice of the law as before and since his election to the Ohio State Assembly. He is unquestionably our leading, ablest and most successful practicing attorney in the state and has been for many years. Despite his age, which is absolutely no handicap, he is as active, today, and will be for some years to come, as any of the several Afro-American candidates for appointment to the local Municipal Court bench. For two score years, or more, Mr. Green has been one of the most effective campaigners, black or write, for the Republican party in this country, being used often in national cam- 46 Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, paigns in different states, and is a national character because of this fact and his long and successful practice of the law. It was the late U. S. Senator Marcus A. Hanna, who in recognition of his long service to the party, locally and nationally, and his splendid standing as an attorney, secured Mr. Green's appointment by President McKinley to the very important position of Stamp Agent in the Post Office department at Washington, D. C., which he held for a number of years. Senator Green is really the only one of the several "colored" candidates, Gov. Myers Y. Cooper is considering for an appointment to the local Municipal Court bench, who has had the experience in the courts of this city, state and coun- J. B. Senator John P. Green. try that would justify his appointment. Moreover, the Senator is familiar with several languages that would prove most helpful, since the foreign population of Cleveland is large and interpreters are much in use in that as well as the other local courts. His appointment, Governor, will please and satisfy far more of the people of both races or groups, in this city, than that of any other candidate. Crown his long service at the bar and in the party's harness, Governor, by appointing John P. Green a judge of the local Municipal Court. We, meaning my people of Cleveland, know better than the Cleveland Bar Association and those of the other group, or race, who are working with it, who will best represent us in the position. Then, too, did their wards in Cleveland or OURS, stand by you and Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch on the recent election day? You may need us again in the future. We ask you to appoint John P. Green! Pitcher "Rube" Dead Kankakee, ill—Andrew ("Rube") Foster, one of the greatest baseball pitchers in this country when in his prime, without reference to race or group, died here, Wednesday, after an illness of two years. For many years he was manager and manager of our Chicago Giants, and our best known baseball player. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1930. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896.

If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered may be distributed of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured.

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race the accommodation full enjoyment of the accommodation privileges, facilities or privileges to the citizen, if defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court the trouble is our people will not use it of their should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Assist. Co. Prosecutor Norman S Minor Gives the Result of an Investigation of the Affair. Cleveland, Dec. 8, 1930. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Mr. Smith: We are submitting herewith a report on the shooting of Archie Hart which has occasioned some question to whether or not the officer was justified in shooting Hart, Aug. 31, 1930. Mr. Miller ordered a complete investigation which he detailed to me. I went thoroughly into the facts, questioning each eye-witness to the shooting, and all the persons whom I interviewed corroborate a statement of facts as follows: Archie Hart was driving his Ford car below the Eagle Ave. ramp which runs into W. 3d St. and while so doing drove up over the curbstone, several times. This attracted Officer Lang's attention and he went to investigate. As he approached the car the occupants alighted and left the driver in the car alone. It was immediately apparent to the officer that the driver was drunk and when he told him to raise his hands, the driver ran out of pocket. The officer shot Hart in the leg. Hart refused to stop and said: CHANCE! I'M WORRIED SICK, SAM-IT'S THREE IN THE MORNING AND JANE ISN'T HOME FROM THE DANCE YET- WHAT SHALL I DO? WHY HART WAS KILLED?

P., campaigned in this state, during the recent con- test, urging our people to support U, 8. Senator Robert J. Bulkley. That organization's executives have at times allied themselves with ‘Jim- crow Y's” and schools in many cases. It has not rendered a finan- cial statement concerning their ex- penses during the campaign. Many of its local members in this city want to know from what source did it get the political money it spent in the campaign supporting Mr, Bukley. The proposed legislation of Coun- eilman Roy Bundy to extend Central Ave. from its present eastern ex- tremity near E. 86th St, to Fair- mount Rd., so that Central will be a thru highway, will stir up our pro- perty-holders in that section of the city just as it did when Former Counctiman Fielder Saunders under- took the same job a year or so ago. In plain words, the two “Blossom Triplets”, Bundy and Councilman Payne, are sure flirting with a “hor- net’s nest”, whether they know it or not. There is terrific opposition to this extension because it will prove harmful to some property and in- crease materially the taxes of others. Carroll Scott, and those who opposed the Fielder Saunders effort, will be able to tell you more about it. If the extension is made the purpose is, as soon as the Lorain-Central high level bridge is completed, to make an automobile thorofare of Central Ave. by taking off the streetcars. And then our people’s most thickly popu- lated seetion of the city will be with- out a carline on the street or ave- nue that euts the very heart and center of our section of the city. Councilman Clayborne George, the other “Blossom Triplet”, is sure wise in “ducking this hornet’s nest”. He will bear watching, however. The Central Ave, street-car line runs thru the heart of our most thickly populated sections in the city of Cleveland. Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George, “The Blossom Triplets,” if they are ever to have any hope of being re-elected, had better wake up, pretty soon, and see that our people in that section of the city get at east half way decent service on that street-car line. As bad as it has been for many months, in recent months it has been made infinitely worse by taking off one run after another, the latest coming last week when two more runs were dis- continued. And Bundy, a member of the Council's transportation com- mittee, 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 people. We want better service on the Central Ave. line and we want some of those color-lines eliminated ‘rom the city and school-board de- partments, ‘The least they can do is to try to do something instead of re- maining passive and apparently obli- vious to the facts indicated in the foregoing. Better wake up, “broth- ers and sister,” for the “ax” is up for all of you, for next fall. | credit to Mr. French, but also a tredt to our poopie of tis commune ity and the city of Cleveland. {i auch eonevece evlaencs' ot pros perits, gained by long sears ot ha ha thteligenty. dincied eftort in Baines, that fs shot. encouraatng nd helpful Congratulations, Me Hoa ‘The Woodland-B, 55th market ts conveniently located, because of the thru tvcet-at lines ‘an the By 56th St etoulows ina: Gat it is sey ohiy of netmee Burthermores i coneted ina tirat-lags and horoty up-to-date manner under the direc- Hoa” of Supe eurice.

The outlook for these four “worthies,”” at this time, is any- thing but good, to say the least.

In the fourth so-called colored ward, 18, which is at best but 55 per cent colored, Senator McCulloch 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 eco- nomie 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 con- cerned, greatly overestimates the in- fluence and independent work dur- ing the campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he and a part of that organization sought to exercise.

The appellation, "Road Hog," is open to but one criticism as I see it. "Road hog" is too soft a term to designate the reckless driver. He not only should be classified, but also be treated, as an outlaw, writes Frederick S. Banedict in the New York Herald Tribune. The reckless automobile driver shows no respect for the rights of others. At an excessive speed he "hogs" the center of the road, cuts in and out of traffic, fails to observe stop-street and caution signs and willfully ignores every law enacted for his own safety and that of others. Take Away Licenses. There is only one way open to cope with such offenders, and that is to eliminate them from the roads, so far as possible, by taking their drivers' licenses away. There are sufficient laws and state, county and city police to bring this about in short order if the police officials would direct the men under them to give less attention to violations of the parking and speeding laws and concentrate entirely on the apprehension of reckless drivers. The reckless driver, who shows no respect for the rights of other automobilists and pedestrians, is ever evident on the streets and highways. At certain street intersections, road crossings, curves and hills he can always be expected to exercise his hogishness of the right of way. At such points he can easily be apprehended. For the police officials to continue to lay the greatest stress on the apprehension of speeders shows a singular lack of ability to keep pace with the times. The elimination of sharp turns, the banking of curves and wider and smoother highways make it possible for cars with better chassis and body design and four-wheel brakes, in the hands of competent drivers, to travel in greater safety at speeds of from forty-five to sixty miles an hour than it was to travel thirty miles in the old-type cars on narrow, highly crowned roads. Three Killed at Montclair. In Montclair, N. J., recently, after an accident in which three people were killed, the Montclair Times made a check-up on stop-street law violations and found that one-third of the drivers failed to observe this law. Within the following week the police made 500 arrests for infractions of this one law. The police of other towns and cities could as speedily bring about as great results in the elimination of reckless driving if so desired. The New York state constabulary presents a striking example of efficiency in detecting reckless drivers that the state of New Jersey would do well to follow. Antifreeze Compounds Protect Chilled Cars While airplanes are using air-cooled motors, the many millions of motorists who use water-cooled motors are now turning at this season of the year to various antifreeze compounds in order to forestall their water systems freezing. The following nine points, compiled by a motorist with a research trend of mind, will, if watched out for, serve the average motorist well in taking steps to protect his car against winter chill: 1. Whatever compound you use should give complete protection. 2. It should not boll away. 3. It must do no damage to the cooling system. 4. It should not heat up the motor. 5. It should not affect the paint or varnish of your car. 6. It should be noninflammable. 7. It should be odorless. 8. It should not become viscous at low temperatures nor decompose at high temperatures. 9. Watch out for a tendency of compounds to deteriorate. The right compounds should never deteriorate. Trouble on Curves If the car swerves and skids when rounding corners, look at the tire pressures. With balloon tires there is a tendency for cars with flat tires to swerve to a much greater extent than would be the case with the old-fashioned high pressure tires. In the front tires the softness is indicated by a tendency to shimmy and difficulty in steering, but when the rear tires are soft it can often be noticed by this swerving tendency when rounding a corner. A blowout when traveling at high speed is often dangerous, and for this reason the best of care should be taken of the tires at all times and no fast driving should be done while the tires are in poor condition. Simple Means to Test Automobile Generator It is easy enough to test the windings of a generator to make sure that there are no open circuits. A flashlight bulb connected to the generator will determine whether or not the generator is all right. Take a long nail or a piece of heavy wire and insert it FLASH LIGHT DRIVING CRANK MADE FROM A LONG FINISHING MAIL GENERATOR CENTER HAND DRILL Testing a Car's Generator. in the lathe center of shaft in generator. Then with a hand drill set over the nail or wire, turn the generator, to which the flashlight bulb has been wired. If the light shines steadily the generator is working satisfactorily, but if the light flickers it is a sign that there is trouble either in the commutator or in the wires.-Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE HINTS --- There are 42,000 busses used by schools in the United States. Only a fraction over 4 per cent of our national income is expended for autos. Closed cars comprised 89.4 per cent of the American automobile output in 1920. Another thing a careful driver is able to do is pick out one of the kind that isn't. California requires that autos used in the enforcement of state traffic laws shall be painted white. It is predicted that rubber will be used in building. It would be nice for the back-end of a beginner's garage. Alcoholic motor fuels are quite generally used today in Cuba, Brazil, Panama, Sweden, Hungary, Italy, and Czechoslovakia. New York is discussing the question of whether a motorist has a right to talk back to a traffic cop. He may have the right, but if he does it he's darned indiscreet. Bubbling around the cylinder head gasket is an indication of a leak at this point. It can often be cured by simply tightening the nuts holding the cylinder head in place. The magazine, American Speech, lists a few of the many names suggested in the '90s for the new horeless carriage: "Electromobile, autocarriage, autocab, autocam, autolau, propellor, cabine, victorine, landauline, ipsometer, selfmotor, autogo, molectros, autopher."

Intriguing decolleture necklines such as distinguish this season's most formal modes remind us that again after so long an intermission we are living in an era of picturesque and romantic fashion. No need to seek romance in the reading of books, when we are living it, seeing it, breathing it in the very atmosphere of the world of fashion today. Do your dreams of the picturesque in dress carry you to scenes in the Middle ages or the first or second empire or to the Victorian age? Are you recalling the naive charm of the fall-off-the-shoulder decolleture as told in pictures of sweet Jennie Lind? Behold in the present season's fashions your dreams made realities. History is repeating itself in the picturesque decolleture necklines which are adding such a glamorous beauty to the evening scene. The little decolleture sketches as they appear in the panel to the right in the illustration might have been re- RUSSIAN-INSPIRED HANDSOME FA WE HAVE with us a new entrant in the winter style pageant—the Russian-inspired tunic. Enthusiasm for this venture in smartness knows no bounds. All the way through the dress and blouse program, from sports to the ultra formal, we find fashion expressed in terms of the tunic. It is the fabric of which it is made which tunes the tunic to environment. If the tunic is styled of some one or other of the chic new woolens or perhaps modiish crepe in a dark color, or possibly satin either black or a deep warm tone, and if it is simply made with perhaps a wee bit of embroidery, then does it declare its voguishness for wear during the practical hours of the day. As it interprets the formal mode, the tunic becomes a theme of untold luxury. No weave is too sumptuous for its styling.

They picture modes of the immediate moment as they are glimpsed at opera, at the dance and other of festive and formal functions such as make up the winter social program. Many of the most stunning evening gowns are made up absolutely without decoration, the costume relying entirely on elegance of fabric and beauty of neckline to give it enchantment. It is the way of fashionists to choose velvet as being most effective for the dress which makes trimming conspicuous by its absence, which accounts for the fact that the distinguished looking gown in the picture is of exquisitely sheer black transparent velvet. The outstanding feature of this elegant model is its decolletage which answers the call of the present evening mode for the very low cut. The younger set are coming out in the prettiest gowns imagination can picture which make the adorable fall-off-the-shoulder necklines, such as is shown at the top of the panel of sketches, their feature.

TUNICS MAKE FABRIC THEIR THEME UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD quisite lace, elaborately embroidered textiles, shimmering, sheer velvelts in tones and tints delectable, of such are tunies de luxe fashioned. From Cossack turban to richly embroidered tunic one senses the Russian influence in the costume pictured. This charming tunic is made of lovely transparent velvet. Fancy may picture it for you in the color you like best—white, if you favor the smart black-and-white note (the skirt is black velvet) or perhaps you will yield to the lure of a pastel tint, preferably a delicate blue, for turquoise with black stands out as a leading combination. The gay embroidery interworked with gleaning metal threads and the graceful cord-and-tassel girdle are decorative touches such as carry the picturesque note as we associate it with fashions of the Far East. CHERIE NICHOLAS. © 1930, Western Newspaper Union py of The aintance w THE HEAD OFFICIAL Opportunity in Our Trade Schools. In the Cleveland, organ of the Chamber of Commerce, Charles W. Chesnutt charges that Negro students do not have a fair chance to learn a trade in the trade schools conducted by the Board of Education. If he is correct, the Board of Education clearly has a duty to rearrange those courses so that the Negro students will have an equal opportunity in them. The Board, of course, is not responsible for any difficulties that the Negro may experience in working at a skilled trade after he leaves school, but it is the Board's duty to see that the Negro student has an equal opportunity to acquire any kind of training that is offered under its auspices. — The Cleveland Daily Press. Editorial. Editor Press: Your editorial entitled "Opportunity in Our Trade Schools" should have included the entire statement of Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt. Mr. Chesnutt's article, printed in the Cleveland, is most intelligently written. He is not, however, correctly informed relative to certain phases of the vocational education in Cleveland. May I quote that portion of Mr. Chesnutt'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 that 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. He will have difficulty in placing them has caused the officials to discourage the attendance of Negro students. A colored youth can take elementary training in the East Technical High School, but practical training in the 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 because of labor abuses. "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 practice, and three additional hours of related subject matter per day. Such courses are offered at East Technical, West 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 to this course as a race or group. There are approximately 108 colored boys now en- Billion Ch are credited every year of that inimitable sty ings whose character fused with those of a RUBE 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 MILK CO. GAZETTE who might Su rolled in East Technical High School in trade preparatory courses. Mr. Chessnut refers to these courses as "elementary training courses." This is hardly fair since 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 co-education. The industries and industries of Cleveland thru apprenticeship committees for the training of apprentices already employed in industry. Mr. Chesnutt states that the "habor unions in general have accepted Negro members." With but few exceptions every building trade in boy employed as an apprentice to the school for four hours per week of intensive training for their entire four years of apprenticeship. These boys 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. The school spends much of their own part and not thru any failure of the Board of Education relative to a desire to participate. One building trade employing a large number of Negro craftsmen, namely the plastering trade, does not send its apprentices to the school spike group of the employers' group of this particular craft was ready to co-operate. In all of the mechanical trades, including auto mechanics, machine shop practice, foundry practice, and pattern-making, apprenticeship is conducted in co-operation with various manufacturers' associations as the manufacturer and Automobile Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association, the National Metal Trades Association, and other groups. For the mechanical trades the trade school does operate one year of all-day trade training preceding apprenticeship. The training year 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 and a great waste 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 college. No international nation has been made by the trade school against colored applicants. Not many apply. Some do not possess much mechanical aptitude 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 with whom he is applying for admission for a course terminating in placement in one specific vocation only should be giv- A The readers of this newspaper are to join millions of other Americans in the enjoyment of his delicious humor which will appear in strip form REGULARLY IN THIS NEWSPAPER en 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 able to inform him. Colored boys who have completed trade school courses and technical trade courses have found assistance by securing positions as instructed by Mr. Chessup. 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 Cleveland has agreed to send every an employee that he does not desire to employ. The Cleveland Trade School will train as many employees, white or colored, as employees 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 train white boys. The schools have exercised no discrimination. Howard L.
