DOINGS OF THE RACE. Cincinnati's Afro-American population numbers 47,818. The Hon. Dantes Bellegarde is the new Haitian minister to this country. Howard University, Washington, D. C., will celebrate its 64th anniversary, Monday. Mrs. Alice G. Selligman of N. Y. City has given $10,000 to the Natl. Urban League of that city; Eugene K. Jones, ex. sec. Richard C. Phillips of Demopolis, Ala., left his $50,000 estate to Selma University, and $500 to Judge Thos. E. Knight (white) of that city. Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, who died, recently, left $32,000. He was U. S. comproller of customs and a Louisiana Republican leader at the time of his death. U. S. Senator Smoot of Utah has introduced a bill which includes an appropriation of $550,000 for a neuro psychiatric unit, with 220 beds, at Tuskegee U. S. Veterans' hospital. The library of the College of Dentistry at Howard University has just been given 350 new volumes as the result of a $2,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation of New York city. Rev. Chas. B. Crawford, pastor A. M. E. church at Providence, R. I., was sentenced, Feb. 13, to one year in jail for misappropriating funds to a $500 estate left by one Stephen Brown resident in a wealthy family (white). He "gyped" the church, a lodge, and an old folks' home. Aberlard Rosseau (white), age 38, was arrested in Lawrence, Mass., Feb. 14, and returned to N. Y.

Following his success, last summer, in "Rain or Chine," he was cast in "Dirigible" and "The Last Parade" by the same company and has been traveling back and forth between the two sets most of the fall and winter. SPENDING MILLIONS. The Ohio Bell Telephone Company manifested its confidence in the future by expending $25,036,219 in 1930 on additions and improvements to its plants and equipment throughout the state, according to the annual report to the stockholders made by the company's directors at the annual meeting in Cleveland, Feb. 24. '31. This amount was $3,099,255 less than was expended in 1929 when the largest in the company's history, but exceeded by $3,769,043 the average annual expenditure during the five-year period from 1925 to 1929, the report states. the rate of 20 cents a line, six words to a line.

The much discussed "Burden of Credulity" by H. L. Mencken in the February Opportunity is ably answered by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist church of New York City. This retaliative is a side of the question that will bring delight to all lovers of controversy in "Flowers in a Dunghill" in the March issue. R. R. Taylor gives an interesting presentation of the Rosenwald plan for the solution of the difficult urban problem of housing facilities. H. A. Lett, industrial secretary of the Urban League, contributes "Work and Opportunity in Pittsburgh Engagements" in "Frontiers of Race Relations," interestingly describes the work and progress of the Urban League. Among the important book reviews are "Black No More" by George Schuyler, brilliantly reviewed by Arthur Davis, and "Dr. Dillard of the Jeanes' Fund," by L. Hollingsworth Wood. CAUSE OF SEGREGATION Too little class, rather than too much color, is the greatest cause of our segregation, ostracism and seclusion. The vast amount of prejudice against the Negro in this city would rapidly disappear were he to cultivate habits of cleanliness, courtesy, industry, reliability, improvement of his mentality. In addition, learning to keep his mouth shut in public, thus avoiding giving people in street cars and other public family affairs and matters general interest. The Negro is not to blame for the slavery of his parents. That shame rests upon their owners! But he is to blame for not striving to improve himself in every way.—Editor W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati (O. ) Union. OUR LATEST WEST POINT CADET Chicago, Ill.—Col. Benj. O. Davis' son and namesake, age 19, has been appointed to the U. S. Military academy at West Point, N. Y. by Congressman Oscar DePriest. He is a graduate of Central high school and attended Western Reserve University, both of Cleveland, O., and of Chicago. He studied at the University of Chicago. He will return to RT Sheridan, Ill., March 3, to take the physical and mental examinations for the academy. Hopkins and Manager Plan The city of Cleveland paid $75 a bushel for beets and $29.75 a bushel for tomatoes in 1926, and many good citizens are shocked. Humph! That was nothing. It paid $25,000 (a year) for a lemon. Of course, if Cleveland had been operating under the manager plan in 1926, such a thing as paying $75 a bushel for beets couldn't have happened, could it?—The Cleveland Press. Feb. 20. '31. Slaughters Win as Usual With James, Smith and Meeks leading the way, the Slaughter Bros. swamped the league-leading Pennsylvania Railroads, 40 to 23, in a Muny Class A game at St. Clair Bath House, Tuesday night.

Cleveland, Feb. 20, 1931. Gilbert L. Waytes, E. 89th St., Cleveland, O. Dear Sir--Your letter of the 14th received. My time is so thoroughly taken with my other important things that I have neither the time nor the disposition to continue further a letter-writing discussion of your unfortunate "jim-crow Y" obsession. Your opinion of the Cedar "Y" does not interest me, particularly because I haven't any "jim-crow" ideals but am, as you know, unalterably opposed to so harmful a thing to Cleveland's Afro-American population. I am sure you realize that your opinion of whatever ideals I may hold also does not interest you. In that shade you surely must realize how silly it is for you, particularly, to undertake to pass upon my success and progress in anything. The Central "Y" has always had and still has "Negro" members. If, as you say, they are barred from it, our people of this community are as much to blame for such a condition as the Central "Y" control. Your unfortunate line of expression is the same held by all advocates of the "jim-crow" institutions of one kind and another. It is the same old story of the "Negro" who is willing to climb further down the ladder of retrogression in order to secure a little temporary and off-duty position (you cannot call it benign) at almost sacrifice of principle and racial progress. A "jim-crow Y" would care entirely too great a sacrifice of rights and privileges in the public schools alone, upon the part of all of our people of this community to consider it for a moment whether巷walmold offered to help build such a school, and after anything else. The statement that "the whites owe it to us" is silly. They don't owe you a "frazling" thing simply because you are a "Negro." Get all that stuff out of your system as soon as you can. Quit begging. Quit whining for someone else to do something for you, and start working for yourself. Don't be surprised if that you are wasting on a "jim-crow Y") on Gilbert Waytes' present and future progress, and "get busy." The fact that there are "jim-crow" institutions in the great capital of this remarkable country, the rest of the South and too many places in the North does not justify the need for a principle and the consequent harm to progress of our people of any community where it is possible to keep off such a yoke. Sincerely Harry C. Smith. SCORES MENCKEN And American Christianity — That Superiority — Peonage and Slavery "Rackets" — The "Greater Miracle." New York City.—Replying to an article, on the Afro-American ministry, in the February issue of Opportunity, by H. L. Mencken (white), editor of the American Mercury, Rev. A Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlan launches a bitter trade not only against Mr. Mencken, but against American Christianity in general in the March issue of that magazine. "Mr. Mencken says that he believes that Negroes are superior to American whites in more ways than one. To justify this belief he places special emphasis upon the "extraordinary decency" of the race. Had Mr. Mencken gone a little further, he would have discovered that the average Negro had the average white American in long suffering, patience, meekness, veracity and love. The Negro has almost destroyed the white man's ethical standards, and especially his sense of veracity. When I think that the Negro was brought out of a jungle religion in Africa, into a worse jungle American Christianity; when I recall that the Negro was not only a slave but a slave to the he existed for two hundred and forty years in the most damnable rocket known to the United States, and that he has lived for the past sixty-five years in the racket of neonage, chaining labor, and a lower wage for the same work, it is a miracle that he has made any appreciable progress toward genuine religion. A greater miracle still, is that the Negro be made any kind of a neonage or any kind of a God directed by the white American. Had it not been for his ignorance he would have cursed God and died." Haworthia Appreciations Washington, D.—The U. S. Interior Department appropriation bill, passed by Congress, last week, included an item of $1,560,000 for Howard University. An additional sum of $200,000, for improvements to grounds, in the first deficiency bit makes the total current appropriation or Howard, $1,760,000. Six bulldozes, under way, will cost $2,425,000. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FREDERICK DOUGLASS DECLINED LINCOLN'S INVITATION TO TEA, ACCEPTED CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE'S AND ATTENDED LINCOLN'S PUBLIC RECEPTION. The Greatest American, the Martyred President, Admired Douglass—President Grant and Cabinet Listened to His Decoration Day Speech in Arlington Cemetery—U. S. Marshall, Etc. Washington, D.C.—During the war of the rebellion, 1861-1865, President Abraham Lincoln sent his White House carriage and a messenger to invite Frederick Douglass to have sea with him at the Soldiers' Home, where he then passed his nights, after hot days at the Executive Manion. Douglass declined because of a speaking engagement. He made it a point never to disappoint an audience. The night before the second inauguration of Lincoln, Douglass tells in his autobiography of asking tea with Chief Justice Chase of the U.S. supreme court and his (Douglass') daughter, Matilda Nichols, and placing on the Justices' shoulders the new robes then being made, in which he was to administer the oath of office to the re-elected Lincoln. After the inauguration Douglass attended the public reception at the White House, getting past postmen, and then repeatedly denied him entrance, by getting word to Lincoln that he was there. "Here comes my friend Douglass," said Lincoln, taking him by the hand. "I am glad to see you. I saw you in the crowd today, listening to my inaugural address; how did you like it?" Douglass replied: "Mr. Lincoln, I must not detain you with my poor opinion when there are thousands waiting to shake your hand." Lincoln answered, "No, no, you must stop a little while, Douglass; there is no man in the country opposing you. I value more than yours. I want to know what you think of it." At a previous meeting Lincoln retained Douglass for a long talk at the White House even though his secretary had twice announced Governor Buckingham of Connecticut. At the Decoration Day celebration in Arlington Cemetery near the Monument of the Unknown Loyal Dead of the Civil War, the speaker, President Grant, his cabinet and a great national throng listened as Douglass said: "If we ought to forget a war which has filled our land with windows and orphans; which has made stumps of men of the very flower of our youth; which has sent them on the journey of life armless, legless, maimed and mutilated; which has piled up a debt heavier than a mountain of gold, swept uncounted thousands of men into a bloody grave and heartbreaks—I say, if this war to be forgotten, I ask in the name of all things sacred, what shall men remember?" At the dedication of the Lincoln Monument in Lincoln Park, April 14, 1876, again the President of the U. S. cabinet members, members of Congress, judges of the supreme court and thousands of citizens listened to Douglass' address in which he told one man or our model, Douglass, with ardent Purvis, and James Wilson accompanied the body of Vice-President Henry Wilson from the capitol here to his home in Massachusetts, and with the U. S. senate committee served as one of the palibearers Appointed a marshal of the District of Columbia by President Hayes, whom he might select colored baliffs and jurors for the courts and especially because a colored person in white kid gloves, patent leather boots and alabaster cavat had the job of introducing all visitors to the President of the United States. Douglass served two terms and escorted outgoing President Hayes and incoming chamber to the seat of the capitol where the oath of office was taken. During his lifetime, Douglass kept the teeth of the uncultured South continually on edge. He served on the commission to Santo Domingo; on the council for the Government of the District of Columbia; was minister to Halft; was elector-at-large for the state of New York; and received at the home of a former minister and was welcomed to their table by Secretary Hamilton Fish here in Washington and by Robert Ingersoll, the great atheist, in Peoria, Ill., when 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 NEWWI- EST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Not ended then, the passionate ebb and flow, The awful tide that battled to and fro. We ride said a tempest of dispraise. Now, when the waves of swift dissension swarm, And Honor, the strong pilot, lieth stark, Oh, for thy voice high-sounding o'er the storm.

He went forth to battle 'gainst o'er- whelming odds; Right was his armor, his trust was in God; As fearless as David, he met the sacrifice, And came back a victor, with slavery laid low. Thus the Great Douglass, with right on his side. Stemmed the dark waters of slavery's cursed tide; Then witnessed the act, when a stroke of the pen Made beasts of burden—free women and men. Then like the good soldier, his battles all won. FORD, He sank to his grave, his trust etil. in God. —John M. Turpin, Baltimore, Afro-American. METROPOLITAN OPERA Again This Year—The Fifth Season—Greatest Singers in the World to Be Heard at Public Auditorium. From April 27 to May 2, Cleveland will again have a spring festival of grand opera by the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York. Will be the fifth of the series of opera events, under the auspices of the City of Cleveland and the Northern Ohio Opera Association, under a five year contract made in 1927. Recently city council authorized a renewal of the contract for another five year period. The greatest singers in the world, the stars of the Metropolitan, will be here again for a full week of grand opera in which eight gala performances will be given in Cleveland's huge public auditorium. World records for attendance and for reception have been made and broken in this hall where the entire central section of the nation's annuals.

Would that President Herbert Hoover would square his treatment of our people with his talk in his radio address on "Abraham Lincoln," delivered, Feb. 12, 1931. While regretting the Governor's failure to act at this time (on the request for a pardon for former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming), Editor Harry C. Smith of The Gazette professes to understand his position. But why a veteran newspaper man should persist in printing "thot" for thought we cannot understand—N. Y. Age. We prefer the "abbreviated spelling" of a number of words and use as many as possible. Our esteemed contemporary will 'ere long, we feel sure, join us in this evidence of progress just as others are doing. THE HAMPTON CHOIR. A musical event of unusual importance is the entertainment to be given at Public Music hall, Tuesday evening, March 12, by the Hampton (Va.) Institute choir, directed by Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett. This organization, within a year or so, has made a most successful tour of many European cities including London, Brussells, Berlin, Vienna, Geneva and Lausanne in all of which the choir's work was praised highly and the organization favorably compared with the best European choirs and choruses. Our people of this community should turn out enmasse not only to hear this splendid musical organization but as a compliment to it and its exceptionally efficient director who has led it to triumphs in this country and abroad few if any of our organizations have ever attained. Let's all meet at Public Music hall, Thursday evening, March 12, promptly at 8:15 o'clock. The choir is being presented in this city by Mt. Zion Cong. church and the Music Lovers club. "BIG BILL" WINS. Of all the mayors of Chicago in the last quarter of a century, it seems to us that "Big Bill" Thompson of that city has been the fairest in his treatment of our people there in almost every way. Therefore, we admit much satisfaction in learning of his triumphant renomination on Tuesday last. Wm. Hale Thompson has been praised and denounced possibly more than any other mayor in the country, and yet there has been an element of fairness running thru his contact with and treatment of the various elements, groups or races, of the "Windy City" that appeals to us. We were pleased to note the fact that Congressman Oscar De Priest, who refused to follow the mayor in his opposition to the election of Mrs. McCormick to the U. S. senate, from the state of Illinois, was active in the support of Mayor Thompson whom we hope will be triluphantly re-elected. EMPIRE SAVINGS & LOAN CO. The Gazette calls the attention of all of our people of the community particularly to the financial statement of the Empire Savings & Loan Co., published elsewhere in this paper. We want all to read it carefully and to call the attention of others in this community to it. It was made after a state examiner had gone carefully over all of the books of the company and is being published in compliance with a law of the state. Therefore, this financial statement is the best kind of assurance of the sound financial standing and condition of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. all of our people of this community could possibly have, and ought to be all they should want. It is an official statement backed by the great state of Ohio and should estop, once and for all, the invidious criticism and other harmful talk so many have indulged in too freely in the last few months, the outgrowth of a mistake of one of the company's employees and the recent suit of a dissatisfied depositor who didn't get just what he wanted when he wanted it. This, too, is a mistake which was doubtless made port of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. and there will be absolutely no ground in the future for invidious comment, harmful talk and ill-advised action. It will mean greater achievement and more success for the Empire Savings & Loan Co. and our people of this community. And this means almost everything to hundreds of stockholders, depositors and patrons, all our people. Godfrey Champion of Mexico Godfrey Champion of Mexico. Nuevo Laredo, Mex.—The Mexican heavy weight championship crowned atop the head of George Godfrey, giant heavyweight, and he renewed his challenge to one and all to try to knock it off. He is really world 'heavy' champ. With his slightest trouble—almost as it he Ricardo Rosel, idol of Mexico and Spain, and knocked him cold in less than a minute after the opening gong rang for the first frame of a scheduled 10-round bout here. Tuesday night, in the Plaza de Toros. It all happened so quickly, it is doubtful whether more than half the 3,000 eager spectators got to see it. They had hardly had time to settle down after the intermission which followed the semifinals. When the gong sounded, Rosel waded in, but he backed off quickly from the gloves he met. Godfrey hit him well, and within 15 seconds, pleased, and within 15 seconds the aggressor had become the dodger, with Godfrey following him all around the ring.

THE FASHION WEEKLY By EMMA LOU FETTA that absolutely everybody is out there sun bathing, and enjoying flowers in mid winter. Our Florida friends write exactly the same thing. Putting two and two together we find that really a remarkable number of Americans, depressions or no depressions, have the good sense to get away to balmier climates when winter sets in at home. For these reasons we don't hesitate at all to select, from among the lovely clothes coming through the Home and Fashion Institute for fabric inspection, a pair of beach pajamas to show in a fashion article for this time of year.

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.

Carbon Monoxide Poison Shows Steady Increase It's a great temptation, when the weather is cold and so is the motor in your ear, to close the garage doors and warm ‘er up a little before you start out.- Don't close the door—it is extremely hazardous! Data assembled by the National Safety council show that the hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning, while ‘unimportant as compared with many other accident hazards, ts increasing ‘rapidly. In 1929 there were more ‘than twice as many deaths from this ‘cause as in 1924. ‘The 1928 and 1929 /death rate from carbon monoxide shows a steady increase. Remember this about carbon mon- oxide: You can't see it! | You can't smell it! You can't taste it! But it fs deadly! When you are in your garage with the motor running, keep the doors and windows open.

The mind, wise to the ways of evening modes “as is” in our day and generation, know full well that sim- plicity as applied to dress is, in the modern interpretation of the word, born of that “art which conceals art.” ‘There's the exquisite gown in the picture, for example, the uninitiated may describe it as a simple frock, but to those who know, it is a muster. piece which in the final analysis re- Solves itself into a matter of white transparent velvet of filmiest texture together with lovely white flat crepe fh SERCTAC URE £apa../ tethering. career in the boudoir, on the beach and for general informal wear fs not enough to satisfy the aspira- tions of the ambitious pajama cos- tume. So seeking “new worlds to con- quer” trousered fashions have dared to go formal this season.

It is interestng and significant to note that in Parl leading couturiers are carrying the vogue of velvet into spring and summer. Which goes to confirm tliat which has long since been self-evident—that velvet is proving it- self a perennial. When we stop to consider that modern velvet weaves fare in many instances as equisitely delicate and sheer as the most fragile chiffon, it is easy to understand why designers have come to regard it as a practical and altogether lovely year- round material.
