For Building a "Chinese Wall" of "Separation, Discrimination and Segregation" Nationally—Plain Unvarnished Truth. Madison, N. J., March 1, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Kind Sir: — Ten thousand thanks for the copy of "The Union" (W. P. Dabney's paper, which I have long wanted to see, having read many quotations from him) marked them in my book. Situated here you are a busy man; therefore, my remarks will be brief: (1) For many years I have concluded that the Julius Rosenwald system of "Christian Philanthropy" (I think that is the operating name) in erecting and maintaining schools and Y. M. C. A. buildings, exclusively "Negro," was imical to the best interests of every community where recognized. (a) It creates, perpetuates and accents Christian charity. (b) American and directly opposed to principles of Christianity."—Matt. 7:12; John 13; 34; Matt. 20: 6-8-10-12-14; (b) The cornerstone of American democracy is "an equal opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!"—2 Cor. 8:14; 15; (c) The platform of the Christian religion — "God is our father; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all we need is Jesus."—3:24; 15; is absolutely denied in toto by Julius Rosenwald's method of charity as announced, "exclusively for Negroes." (2) Why should he endeavor to foist "exclusively Negro hospitals" in the North? Did the colored people "en masse" ask for this blot upon their American citizenship? Did the white population protest against their colored hoods, having the same disease, the same accidents and maladies they have, that "hospitals exclusively Negro" are statewide necessities? (3) Does he not see ultimately (if his system becomes a success) the created national, racial, religious and social "Chinese wall" of separation, discrimination and segregation now enforced in a spielful spirit) by peoples of our American civilization?—Gal. 6:7. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent. CHARLES SUMNER Do Not Fail to Hear Lecture on the Great Massachusetts Senator, Sunday Evening, at St. Mark's Preby, Church. Ex-State Senator John P. Green will be the principal speaker at St. Mark's Presbyterian church community-forum, Sunday evening, being introduced by the editor of The Gazette. This will prove a treat to all who attend because the Senator is a scholar and an exceptionally interesting speaker. He has carefully prepared for this occasion a lecture on that great friend of the race, Charles W. McKee, to whom "The Congregationalist" of June, 1896, had the following: "When men trembled at duty and were afraid of it, he did it faithfully. When corruption hung like a pestilence over our land, he stood up above it, brave and pure. His heart was full of care for the humblest of the race, the most oppressed." — Phillins Brooks Senator Green's lecture has been highly praised by that eminent local jurist, Judge F. J. Dickman; Geo. T Downing, one of our outstanding national leaders of years ago, and Atty James H. Hoy, famous as an after-dinner speaker, here in Cleveland years ago. MARRIED A JEWESS. New York City.—"I married him because I love him," was the sobing response which Mrs. Herbert Newton, age 27, attractive Russian Jewess, gave custom officials at Ellis Island, Feb. 19, 31, when they questioned her as to why she had married a "Negro." The officials believed on one occasion that she had come to this country to disseminate Communist propaganda. Mr. and Mrs. Newton had come direct from Moscow, Russia, where they lived more than two years. They are located at 215 State St., Jamaica Long Island, N. Y. Mrs. Newton, with tears in her eyes, said to the custom officials: "Russia they foul questions." Mr. Newton, age 27, met and married his wife while on a pleasure trip, visiting the principal cities of Russia, three years ago. Anti-Lynching Bill Passed. Ft. Wayne, Ind., Mar. 5. —The bill against lynch-murder passed the House and Senate of Indiana, early last week. A veto is improbable. Abyssinia Celebrates Addis Ababa, Abyssinia.—Official announcement was made, Sunday night, of the birth of a sixth child to the Empress of Abyssinia. Thousands massed outside the imperial palace by moonlight for an enthusiastic demonstration. The palace guns boomed incessantly from 8 until midnight. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! The following is self-explanatory: Cleveland, March 3, '11. Editor Rounder Dept., The Gazette, City. Dear Rounder: →In the suit charging the International Electrical Workers' Union with violation of the Valentine Anti-Trust Law, Judge Dempsey, last week, in making the injunction permanent stress-free competition in business. Now why don't the local hotels being picketed, the hotel-waiters or the Chamber of Commerce, in order to stop this strike which is preventing conventions from coming to Cleveland, take their case to the courts and get an injunction. This will clear up the entire question and put Cleveland in a position to receive any and all conventions. Remember the Harry E. Davis-Tom Farrell quarrel, some time ago, in regard to colored waiters? For thirty days five-cent fare, between the old Union station and E. 55th St., will be tried on the Scovill Ave. line where the service was made even poorer, Mar. 1, '31, several runs being taken off. That service is now almost as bad as the patrons of the Central Ave. line are being given. The funny thing about this Scovill Ave. zone matter is that Councilman McGinty and a colleague (white) fought for it. Where were "The Blossom Triplets," other than Bundy, whom we understand, was operated on at City hospital, last week. Payne was operated on, several weeks ago, but he and Georgia were present in the court Monday evening, according to the daily papers which failed to mention the fact that they even knew the matter was being considered. Ask them when the zone system will be tried out on the Central Ave. line? --- Councilman John Mihielch (Dem.) "rode" City Manager Daniel E. Morgan on a charge of "playing politics" in preparing to make a certain appointment in Safety Director Barry's department. Councilman Alex. DeMaioribus countered by calling attention to the fact that Mihielch had "played politics" in obtaining the appointment of one of his constituents to a Civil Service position when the latter stood fifth on the list of persons eligible for the appointment, and plied by saying, "What is wrong with that," and that "The Civil Service might go hang and that political collections might be levied on Civil Service employees so long as politicians did not meddle with the police department." This is just one of the many cases of Republican political stupidity. With a Republican administration and a Republican Civil Service commission jobs cannot be found for the "faultful." Yet a Democrat can have the Civil Service commission jobs by Mihielch, and get one of HIS party a good job. This brand of politics is one of the many reasons why it is going to be very difficult to elect a Republican council this fall. Look out, "Brother" Morgan! DIRECTOR D. S. BLOSSOM Heads the Inter-Racial Committee Appointed by the Local "Negro" Welfare League, Wm. R. In his address at the annual meeting of our local Welfare league at City club, last week, Judge Bradley Hull announced the formation of an interracial commission which he said would delive into all problems affecting our people of this community such as segregation, health and occupation. Members of both races compose the commission, which was appointed by our welfare league. Heading it is the city's welfare director, Dudley S. Blossom, whose color-line activity in the City Hospital controversy, for several years, cannot be forgotten or condoned. Some of the other members of the large committee are: Rev. Chas. Crable, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. H. Martin, Dr. J. A. Glen. Atty. H. Gillespie and the Blossom Triplets. Rev. W. B. Sutherland elected president, vice-pres.; Atty. Virginia R. Wing, treas. and J. Walter Wills, sec. Board of trustees: Judge Hull, A. A. Benesch. Rev. Jas. P. Foote, D. A. Sblossom, Chas. W. Chesnut, Mrs. Lenora Gibson and Councilman L. O. Payne. MARCH 7, 1931. MARRIED A "NEGRO"! Pretty Syrian Girl—The Play Presented, Sunday Afternoon, in Public Hall's Little Theater. A desert tragedy presented by the Syrian Dramatic club in a setting of palm trees and gaudy Arab tents, where Oriental dancers swayed to the weird music of the daraboukeh, entertained in the Little Theater of Public Hall, Sunday afternoon. The plot of "Junga Ben Shaddad" is woven about the legendary hero, Antar, celebrated seventh century "Negro" warrior, poet and lover who rose from a slave to tribal chief. Music Fascinating. The play will probably be best remembered for its third act by those in the audience who did not understand Arabic, the language spoken by the actors. It will be remembered for its strange music in minor—as fascinating and mysterious as the names of the orchestral instruments, darabakhouk, e'oud and meljiwiz. That act, the wedding scene of Antar and Abla, will be remembered also for the skill Joseph Shiekh, who played the title role, demonstrated. The plot: Antar is a "Negro" of slave ancestry. The father of Abla, objecting to his suit for his daughter's (a princess) hand, sends him on a perilous mission hoping he will be killed. After six years, he returns victorious. After the wedding, Antar is ambushed by his rival and stabbed with a poisoned spear. As he dies he resolves to remain standing. When his enemies come to take him they are confounded to find him dead but erect. Shibloo, Antar's half-brother and the co-hero of the show, was well played by John Saskin, both Shiekh and Sadick, it is that they resembled Al Jolson (in black) too closely. Sophie Jeha made a very regal princess, and Dorothy Joseph, in the role of her waiting maid, Selma, played her part well. She was staged under the auspices of the Spaniard American club, and the entire proceeds went to Syrian charities. AFRICA NOT SO WILD Culture Equal to America's Flour- ishes the Avenges— ENJOY SAW Too many people get their opinion of South Africa from reading "Trader Horn" and seeing "Africa Speaks," according to Eric H. Luow, envoy extraordinary from the Union of South Africa to the United States. Mr. Louw spoke, Monday, before the foreign trade committee of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, on trade relations between his country and America and his wife. Africa is a highly civilized modern country and a land of savage tribes, rich in climate and resources and possessed of marvelous natural beauty. "Just as Modern as U. S." "I think we are really as modern and up-to-date as the United States or Europe. We have, of course, native villages in which the savages live under their own laws and in their own fashion. But we also have highly developed towns and cities that rival any of America's in culture. The country, which is about one-third as large as the United States, has eight million inhabitants, two million of whom are white. The whites are of Dutch and English ancestry. Climate Like California. "It is a marvelously interesting country, for one can hear symphony orchestras within a few miles of savage tribes. The climate is comparable to that of southern California, and the scenery, with the mountainous terrain, is similar to that of California or Arizona. Our trade relations with the United States are very cordial. Your country sells us some 60 million dollars worth of goods while we ship you about nine millions. American auctions, electrical goods and other commodities are common in South Africa. Industries Growing South Africa's industries are largely agricultural, although iron and steel making is growing in importance. The political status of the country is the same as that of Canada, with 2,000,000 whites in control. In only one of four provinces, Cape Province, do the native race vote. Mr. Louw was born in the Orkney free state, educated in town and came to the United States a year ago as an envoy at Washington. Bar Freeman Bout New York City—Tom McArdle, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, asked the New York boxing commission, Feb. 27, to sanction a bout at the Garden between Tommy Freeman (white) of Cleveland, world's welterweight pseudo champion, and Jack Thompson, former holder of the title. "For the good of boxing," the board disapproved of the bout. San Francisco, Calif—"Battling" Dozier, of Wichita, virtually leaped into the front of a coast welterweights when he decisively defeated Andy Divodi, New York welterweight, in a ten-round bout, last week Friday night.

TRIED STONE CHURCH NEWS. Tried Stone Baptist church wishes to thank the several pastors, their choirs and congregations for hearty co-operation in making its 12th anniversary celebration a grand success. The pastor also wishes to thank each individual, the social quartettes, and choruses of the city, each auxiliary and loyal member of Tried Stone who donated so generously and who served so willingly on the different committees. The banquet, Friday night, marked the close of the anniversary were presented. A few pastor and wife, among which were two beautifully decorated cakes, gifts of Mrs. Emma Betts and Sister Bess Fleming. Rev. John Smith, former pastor, who acted as master of ceremonies, his wife, and each of the older members of the church were also presented with tokens. Sister Elsie Hammond, who has the distinction of being the oldest member of the church, had the honor of making the presentations. Another beautifully decorated cake, a gift of Sister Lettie Jones, a faithful member of the user board, was a joint gift to Sisters Elsie Hammond and Lois Branch. Food was so generously donated that valuable baskets were given to deserving members of the church and some helped to help feed the poor who are served a good wholesome meal, daily from 1 to 2 p. m., at the church. Sister Katie Wilson, chairman. Anything you may give will be greatly appreciated. Expelled for Race Prejudice New York City.—August Yakinen, janitor of the Finnish Workers' Edu- cational club, 15 W. 126th St., was expelled from the Communist party, Feb. 28, on charges of showing race prejudice at a public trial attended by 2,000 workers in Harlem Casino. It was the first Communist trial to be held in America. --- THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSTEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

New York City—"Green Pastures," a "Negro" play which has been running for over a year in a local theater, gave its 424th performance, recently, and has been witnessed by over 400,000 people. It is the outstanding play on Broadway. The management hung out the "S. R. O." sign three times, last week. Saturday night's performance was just about sold out, Friday afternoon. "Green Pastures." 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 60,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1931. Do not fail to read carefully the article elsewhere in this paper signed by Rev. George Wilson Brent, a real friend (white) of the race. It is excellent! All roads lead to St. Mark's Presbyterian church, Sunday evening The Hon. John P. Green's lecture on Charles Sumner is a literary classic that all of our readers in the city of Cleveland, at least, should hear. The editor of The Gazette will introduce the Senator. --- The recent meeting of our National Press Association at Nashville declared against the present white control of national advertising for our newspapers, and against that "illustrated feature section" which a Chicago advertising agency (white) uses to take advantage, of a number of our newspapers, along an advertising line. Make Sunday, Crispus Attucks day, and celebrate it in a fitting manner in every church and hall available. See that your children, friends and acquaintances of color know who Crispus Attucks was and what his wonderful leadership means to all of this country (particularly to our people). He is one of, if not our grandest character in American history. Only the great Frederick Douglass is in his class, from a racial viewpoint. --- Our first Michigan State Senator, the Hon. Charles A. Roxborough, has started out nicely by securing an investigation of the alleged discrimination against Jewish and our students at the University of Michigan. "Smoke the color-line rascals out." Senator, and then have them "kicked out." A public institution supported, wholly or in part, by the taxpayers' money is no place for discrimination based on color, race or creed. There is a job, too, for the next Afro-American member of the Ohio General Assembly. HAMPTON CHOIR COMING! Mt. Zion Cong, church, this city, as a result of the enterprising leadership of its pastor, Rev. Russell S. Brown, is presenting, Thursday evening, the Hampton Institute singers that recently returned from a most successful European tour, under the direction of Dr. Robert N. Dett, one of America's outstanding musicians. There are forty singers in the choir of trained vocalists, making this tour of eight American cities. One hundred lovers of music have joined "Mt. Zion" in presenting the choir which will appear in Cleveland's Public Music hall, March 12. Citizens of Oberlin, where Dr. Dett attended the Conservatory of Music, are bringing 100 to the concert, and delegations are coming from Akron and other neighboring towns. This promises to be an event of great social and musical import to our local population particularly, and both races are co-operating in giving the singers a Cleveland audience equal to those of their European triumphs. Let our people of the community show full appreciation by assisting materially to pack the fine new Public hall, next Thursday evening, by eight o'clock. THE SELECTION OF BLOSSOM. The former city manager, Wm. R. Hopkins, and Director of Welfare Dudley Blossom were responsible for barring our boys and girls from training in the City hospital for several years or more. During this period, Rev. Horace C. Bailey and his motherless granddaughter, a Miss Patrick, according to his statement made to the editor in The Gazette office and repeated from the platforms of many churches and halls of this city during the campaign in the fall of 1829, were addressed in part by Director Blossom in his office at City Hall as follows: "No 'Negro' boy or girl will train in the City Hospital while I am director." As we have said, Dr. Billey not only told the editor this but repeated this statement many times in public speech during the progress of that memorable campaign. Hardly any loyal member of the race in this community is there, but what will recall this fact. Surely among this number must be some of the members of the local "Negro" Welfare league, or association, which last week announced the appointment of an inter-racial committee for the City of Cleveland, naming in the local daily newspapers Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom as the first member of ITS large committee and associating with him at least several others of both races who are little less objectionable, as members, to the great mass of our loyal people of this community. Of course the league's or association's most reprehensible action in this matter does not meet the approval of the great mass of our loyal people in this community, but is justidely not only as an insult but as positively harmful. This flagrant "jim-crow" or "Uncle Tom" action upon the part of that organization is, at least in our judgment, positively the worst exhibition on the part of members of the race Cleveland has ever known. The only consolation to be derived from it is the fact that the great majority of those responsible for this most aggravating insult are not old Cleveland residents. Whether old, or "newcomers", every last one of them ought to be ashamed of themselves. Their action makes it appear that this race of ours, at least those in this community, cannot be insulted, abused and even reviled enough to resent in a proper way such harrowing mistreatment as we all received at the hands of Director Blossom thru Dr. Bailey and his motherless granddaughter, to say nothing of the many other insulting phases of the City Hospital controversy which lasted for three years or more. Wonder what the local NEGRO Welfare league or association hopes to gain by placing all of our people of this community in such a distressing position by its selection of Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom as a member of ITS "Cleveland Inter-Racial Committee"? Lord, have mercy! THE WEAVER CASE. State Representative Joseph H. Silbert of this city has introduced House bill No. 396, in the lower branch of the State Assembly, in an effort to compensate financially Joseph Weaver whose case is still fresh in the minds of our people of this city and many throut the state. Wrongfully convicted of murder, on April 15, 1927, Weaver was immediately taken to the deathhouse in the penitentiary at Columbus, and the date of his execution set for August 12, 1927. Weaver's case, as nearly all will remember, was carried to the Court of Appeals by Attys, Nathan Cook and Wm. Marsteller who appeared four times in his behalf; then to the Supreme Court of the state, appearing before that august body five times, the case finally being remanded to the Common Pleas court for a new trial. In the second trial Alex. Maynor, the state's only witness in the first trial and self-confessed murderer serving a life sentence, testified under oath that he had lied on Weaver in the first trial, implicating him in order to save himself from the electric chair. Thus Weaver was convicted. Judge White of Gallipolis, sitting in Cleveland by assignment, directed the jury at the second trial to bring in a verdict of acquittal, thus absolving Weaver from any and all connection with the crime. Joe was discharged on April 5, 1929, after having spent twenty-two months in the deathhouse at the penitentiary in Columbus. If ever the great state of Ohio owed anybody anything, it surely is heavily indebted to Joseph Weaver, not only for the time lost in the penitentiary, but also for the mental suffering he sustained during that long period—something it is simply impossible to express in words, a most harrowing experience. The only wonder is that the man lived thru it all—twenty-two months in the deathhouse at the penitentiary in Columbus awaiting electrocution, something simply nerve-wrecking to even contemplate. Surely there is not an Ohio legislator who would hesitate for a single moment to vote to compensate Weaver, or any other innocent citizen of the great state of Ohio who had been forced thru such a miserable ordeal by the laws of the state, and we say this in the light of an experience of six years' membership in that august body, the State Assembly of Ohio. Representative Silbert is entitled to unstinted praise, and the unqualified support of all, for the effort he is making with his bill No. 396, which should be promptly enacted by both House and Senate. Gen. John J. Pershing in his serial account of the American soldiers in the World War, now running in various daily newspapers of the country, says: "Under capable white officers and with sufficient training, colored THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1931 troops had always acquitted themselves creditably." OHIO'S MOB VIOLE Most creditably, General! This same thing is true of colored troops under "capable" colored officers—in the revolutionary war, in the war of 1816, in the war of the rebellion, in Cuba, in Mexico, and every other country where they have been engaged. This is a matter of history. White soldiers, some of them Americans, also acquit themselves creditably when under colored officers. This was true in Cuba, under Gen. Antonio Maceo, the mulatto, second in command of the Cuban army during that country's last revolution; and equally true of the French soldiers under the mulatto general (Dodd), ranking officer in charge of troops in China during the Boxer troubles when soldiers from a number of countries were there. It doesn't make any difference whether the officers and men are colored or white, providing they are "capable" and have "sufficient training," respectively. No one ought to know this better than Gen. John J. Pershing. So why give out the words, "directly or indirectly," that colored troops, in order to acquit themselves "credibly," must be "under capable white officers?"

SURE, IF THE RIGHT GIRL WILL SAY YES OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws in recent years like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Sec. 12.12. Whoever, be the promoter 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be 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. 12.941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay the penalty for the violation, more than five hundreds 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 as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Wonder Why MOBS.

The talented of the club, represented wonderful programs, of musical selections, readings and recitations which were thoroly enjoyed. Misses Mary Haynes, Dorothy Kennebrew, Ruth Triggs, Maud FitzSimmons and Olivia House made applications for membership. Evidently the various Russian choruses are not alone able to do magnificent justice to Russian music for we read in more than one European paper that our own choir, the Hampton singers, rendered such difficult music as the "Kyrie Eleison" to the complete satisfaction of continental audiences. One reviewer, in the Meuse of Brussels, even went so far as to say "this choir could teach many things to our own choruses." Alpha Omega and Omega chapters, A. K. A. to theorist, observed fondly's May at the P. W. Mrs. Isabelle Simmons, basileus, spoke. The A. K. A. quartette, accompanied by Mrs. Mabel Blair, rendered two numbers.

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.

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 once, and for all, the invidious claim 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 a port of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. and there will be absolutely no comment, harmful talk and ill-vised 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. AN OPPORTUNITY!

Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. CHARACTER. 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. EDITOR.

During the winter months the car owner will be well advised to give more attention to the battery and the spark plugs than he may have done during the summer. In the summer the engine started easier and the amount of lighting required was smaller. Winter makes heavy demand on the battery and requires that the ignition system be in good working condition. Cold engines are stiff and require a powerful starting effort and correspondingly heavy discharge of current from the battery. Cars are also left standing for longer periods with the lights supplied by the battery. Care for Battery. Naturally the battery must be kept in a well charged condition; for winter work it should always be kept on as full charge as conditions permit. Sometimes cable terminals are badly corroded; spark plug points worn too far apart. This should be remedied without delay, as besides causing hard starting, it seriously lowers the efficiency of the battery. The effect of frost on the battery should be taken into consideration. If a battery freezes the plates will be damaged. Fortunately a battery is likely to freeze only when it is in a discharged condition, and the solution has become weak. Use Hydrometer. Periodical use should be made of a battery hydrometer to test the state of charge. If the acid is down to 1,100 specific gravity 18 degrees Fahrenheit of frost will freeze it. At 1,100 specific gravity 2 degrees above zero will cause freezing. At 1,200 specific gravity the battery is practically safe and will not freeze at 30 below zero. A specific gravity of 1,240 will withstand freezing at 50 below zero. In winter it is specially important to keep the acid level well above the tops of the plates. Handling Taper Keys Is Always Very T tedious Job Handling the taper keys for the valve stems always is tedious work. The part being handled is so small it is easily dropped, especially when the motorist or his mechanic is compressing or releasing the valve spring. An added difficulty with most of the new cars is the likelihood of dropping the keys through oil holes into the crankcase. Being oiled the keys are slippery. A simple way to avoid this trouble is to put heavy pump grease on the keys before trying to insert them. This seems to plaster them in place and prevent slipping while the spring tension is being controlled. This is the kind of grease that resembles laundry soap and which is used exclusively for water-pump lubrication. Wind Resistance Is Cut When Open-Car Top Up The way to lower wind resistance in an open car is to put both the top and the windshield up, not down, according to tests of the bureau of standards. This discovery, made some months ago, has gained much attention now as a result of the extreme importance placed upon streamlining in automobile design. In the course of a wind resistance test, the aerodynamics division of the bureau studied the relative degree of resistance on the part of the same open car with the top and windshield up and then down, and with the same number of passengers in the car upon each occasion. Velocity of the wind was similar and other conditions were equal. Road Hog's Victims Are Numerous in California Thousands of deaths, injuries and auto wrecks can be blamed upon the evil practice of "hogging the road." It is indicated in a report reaching the California State Automobile association. This declares that "road hogs" are responsible for one-third of all automobile accidents. This conclusion is supported by an analysis of 100,000 cases by the New York Automobile club, since it revealed that 34,000, or more than one-third resulted from the invasion by one driver of a lane of traffic belonging to another. Motorist Looking Back While Driving Censured The practice of many motorists of looking backward while driving to converse with some one sitting in the rear seat is condemned by Oscar Coolican, Washington automobile distributor, as a fruitful source of mishaps on city streets and country highways. Mr. Coolican declares that the habit is to be observed chiefly among so-called veteran motorists; car owners who have been drivers for years and who pride themselves on their ability in handling an automobile. "It should be obvious," Mr. Coolican says, "that scarcely anything could be more hazardous than to turn one's head while driving. Clearly, it violates the simple fundamental rule of looking where one is going. Yet such violation is a matter of daily occurrence particularly among experienced drivers. "The novice at the wheel is rightfully fearful of such extreme nonchance. He may secretly envy the easy carelessness of the veteran motorist who looks every way but to the fore, but his inexperience protects him from a similar danger. "It would be well if the veteran motorist followed the natural example of his less experienced colleague. Here is a case where the veteran can learn from the novice—should unlearn some of his disbelief in a basic rule of safety. Efficient Stop Signal The illustration shows how to make a stop light that disappears when not lighted and, because of the large letters, can be seen for a great distance. Punch a series of small perforations in the tire cover to form the letters of the word "stop." Cover on the inside with a sheet of red celluloid. Fit a tin reflector and a powerful headlight bulb back of the letters and connect the bulb to the usual stop light LETTERS ROMANO OF MEMORIAL WAREHOUSE REFLECTORS OF METAL FILM LIGHT LIGHT WAREHOUSE BLACK LIGHT WAREHOUSE CELLULOID BURST PEN WARE This Stop Light Is Made by Punching Holes in Tire Cover and Fitting Bulb Behind It.

This should make a peculiarly efficient stop signal, as it appears at the most desirable height and directly in front of driver in the rear. —Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE NOTES As yet no one has invented indoor motoring. Safe driving at a moderate speed requires nothing but self-control and a strong rear bumper. "Uses rubbish to produce gasoline," is the headline on a scientific story. To drive junk cars, no doubt. Gasoline is a very worthy commodity, of course, but we'd almost as soon have a title-reader next to us at a movie as a home job of dry cleaning. When your engine bucks, it may not be carburetor trouble. It may be due to improper adjustment of spark plugs or breaker-point gaps. Examine these things first. It is easier. That carbon and valve cleaning job which many motorists forget is necessary at times even in this era of anti-knock fuels may be the explanation of hard starting these colder days. A Forum contributor expresses the opinion that railroad crossings, instead of being beautified, should have a ghastly appearance. A lot of automobile drivers seem to be intent on carrying out that idea. When starting a cold motor, run it slowly for a few minutes before getting in motion. Racing the motor while chilled is damaging because the bearings and cylinder walls in all probability are not protected by a flow of oil and the low throttle warming process should continue until engine oil has been heated sufficiently to flow readily. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 7. 1931 signer selected pale yellow triple georgette of bemberg. It brings into play several details which make for chi this season. There is, for instance, the cowl-drape neck. THE NEW YORKER SPEAKING of the pajama costume, time was when its scenes of triumph were confined to the boudour and the beach, but nowadays. . . modern pajamas are traveling about most everywhere "in society." Veritable gadabouts have these trousered modes become. From the boudour and the beach they are venturing out into all sorts of new environment—at the dance, if you please, and in the drawing room where as hostess pajamas fashion's elite is accepting them with utmost enthusiasm. To play this role of hostess and dine and dance pajamas successfully these trousered and divided-skirt modes are affecting the airs and graces of milady's most beguiling frocks. In fact, at times the resemblance is puzzling. Coming this spring and summer, the stage is all set for ultra-molded pajama fashions as charming and styled as cleverly to occasion as the graceful models pictured. For the attractive costume on the seated figure the de- SPRING FASHIONS WITH PEARL BUT MOTHER-of-pearl buttons buckles and sliders are being featured in high style ornamentation for spring by leading cutouturs in this country and abroad. Designers are enthusiastic about the fashion possibilities of mother-of-pearl, first, because it provides wide diversity both in black and white and vivid colorings to contrast or harmonize with the color and texture of the fabric it trims, and second, because it is a genuine material which cannot be imitated. Both from a useful and an ornamental standpoint. an ornamental standpoint, the spring style program emphatically declares the importance of buttons. Buttons especially lend a brightness and new interest to active and spectator sportswear in cotton, linens, shantungs, bemberg weaves and the new worsed and silk costumes. Gleaming mother-of-pearl buttons and a buckle in matching color tones distinguishes the attractive sports model in the picture. This gay and stunning costume is fashioned of a whipped twill of bemberg and silk in red and white. The generous uses of buttons which so enhances this smart outfit is indicative of the new trend. Note the unique collar-and-scarf neckline, novel scarf arrangements being another outstanding characteristic of the mode. Speaking of the existent flair for mother-of-pearl decoration, sometimes a single buckle or slide of unusual design is the only trimmings used, but always with extreme effectiveness. y Your Copy or an Acqu wide revers and of special style significance are the bell-shaped flowing sleeves, likewise the circular-cut ruffled drape. Fashion also bestows a smile of approval on the modernistic dinner pajama ensemble posed to the right in the illustration. Its full-skirt trousers are styled of pale green lustrous satin of bemberg and silk. The circular-fluenced jacket is of lame tissue in green and gold fastened with a gleaming mother-of-pearl lotus flower. In the instance of formal pajamas, a fascinating model designed for dinner-party wear is shown, made of black lace, the fiers of flouances and the off-the-shoulder decouletage making it look just like a dress. Printed silks of extreme elegance and formality contribute their beauty to the pajama mode, designers embodying in their styling the very same details as distinguish afternoon and evening frocks.

MUCH-ADORNED TONS AND BUCKLES JOEL FEDER PHOTO Lustrous mother-of-pearl slides in delicate shapes and natural rainbow iridescence are being employed by leading fashionists to fasten belts for formal afternoon and evening wear, especially in connection with the very chic black-and-white ensembles and for the formal dinner pajamas and hostess gown. An admiring audience at a recent spring style show of note was particularly charmed with a dinner pajama ensemble of pale green satin crepe of bemberg with a jacket of lame tissue in green and gold, the same ornamented at the belt with a green mother-of-pearl lotus flower. Leading Parisian coutouriers are high-lighting grays combined with pink colorings. Exquisite mother-of-near ornamentation in the way of buttons, slides, and buckles is blended with this fabric tone with striking effect. CHERIE NICHOLAS.

Freeman Lewis (white), writing in the Cleveland Daily Press of Feb. 28, said, among other things: "I would hate to see local boxing start off with a black streak upon its record. Yet, it appears this might be the case. The black mark will be supplied by the Tommy McManus Young black Thompson bout for the world championship, when and if staged in Cleveland. Freeman 'won' the title from Thompson here, last September, at League Park. The Press exposed the ramifications of the promotorial ring behind the bout and brought to light some very interesting facts regarding the transfer of the title. The principal fact was that Thompson apparently handed his crown to Freeman. The latter was trying, Thompson was not. Most of the spectators at the Thompson bout sensed there was something wrong with the cards were stacked for Freeman, and Patsy Haley, who should never be allowed to referee in Cleveland again, dealt the hand. If Freeman and Thompson are allowed to repeat their 'act' here, the smaller boxing clubs will suffer. The managers of Freeman and Thompson, Tommy McGinty and Ray Alvis, would like to have the bout staged here. There are reasons for this that need no further explanation. The Cleveland Boxing club is favor to the spectators who pay money for fights here, to the reputation of the game in Cleveland and to small fight clubs by refusing a permit for a Freeman-Thompson return match. One of those things is all any city can stand in one year." At the suggestion of Earle Paintier, of the Cleveland commission, telegrams were sent to James A. Farley and Wm. Muldoon of the New York body requesting information as to what grounds the New York commission had for refusing to sanction the bout for New York. If these grounds also are valid here, the likelihood is that the bout will be barred. For rent, five nice rooms (down) at 2417 E. 82d St., modern and in good condition. $31 a month.

A return match between Tommie Freeman (white) and young Jack Thompson involving the weltier-weight championship of the world is scheduled for Public Auditorium, Tuesday, April 14, under the auspices of the American Legion. Freeman is to get 50 per cent and 110 per cent. They are each to weigh 147 pounds at noon, that day. It will be recalled that Thompson was deliberately robbed of the weltier-weight championship at League park, last summer, by Referee Patsy Haley of N. Y. City. His decision was one of the most glaring miscarriages of justice ever witnessed even in the United States. The bout here is planned for 15 rounds to a decision by a referee and two judges. The judges system was approved officially, Monday. Edwards Still Champion. Edwards Still Champion. At the indoor track and field championship meet hepton Bradison Square last week Wednesday night, Champion Phil Edwards, the former New York University star, now representing a Canadian athletic club, conquered Sera Martin, world's 800 meter champion from France, to retain his 600-yard title.
