He also enumerates: "Catholic official pronouncements against lynching, peonage, color-discrimination and the other evils suffered by the 'Negro.'" Mr. Daniels closes his very interesting and illuminating article with the following: "This is no attempt to minimize the discrimination practiced against 'Negroes' by individual Catholics, whether clergy or lay. Catholics who discriminate are not acting as Catholics." Slave Descendant Wins. Muskogee, Okla. — Leonard Ingram, wealthy Creek freed-man, has just won a verdict of $35,000 damages against Phillip A. Lewis (white), a former trustee of his estate here. The suit was for $100,000 which amount Ingram alleged his estate shrunk during Lewis' management between 1924 and 1926. The man, a ward of the Government because his forebears were slaves of Creek Indians, drove to the trial daily in his $8,000 gold-plated automobile.

C.—Nothing in recent years has equalled the outpouring of love and affection visited upon Samuel Wilson Rutherford, founder of the National Benefit Life Ins. Co., Wednesday evening, March 11, when the six hundred or more persons connected with the home organization summoned him to masonic temple for a testimonial reepe- [Name] President S. W. Rutherford, tion, in his honor. At the recent meeting of stockholders, Mr. Rutherford was made chairman of the board of directors and released from minute details of management so that he may devote himself to a study of the more intricate problems of "National Benefit," and to come into closer contact with the field force of the splendid organization, one of our few greatest business enterprises. An elaborate program was developed, included a series of presentations from the home-office force, which took the form of the gift of a beautiful and expensive Hamilton white gold watch and chain, with a white gold knife attached; ensemble travelling bags, covers and portfolio. In his response, Mr. Rutherford said in part: "Upon some occasions it is simply impossible for one to summon words with which to express the feelings of the heart. This is one of those occasions. Numerous, indeed, during the past thirty-two years I had expressions of good will and affection from the officers and impressives Puneh Peneh Life Insurance Company, but never have I been so deeply touched as I am upon this occasion after listening to the felicitations and cordial words of good will which have been showered upon me tonight." GRAND OPERA SEASON The Eighth Annual Spring Festival in Cleveland of the Metropolitan Opera Company of N. Y. City to Be the Greatest Ever—Best Singers in the World to Render the Most Tuneful Operas. Promise of a most brilliant "first night" is the announcement of Verdi's delightful "La Traviata," April 27, with Rosa Ponselle as "Violeta." Glacimo Lauri-Volpi as "Alfredo" and Lawrence Tibbett as "Glorio Germont." In London's great Convent Gardens last summer, Mme. Ponselle scored one of her greatest triumphs in this opera, a new title for her, and has been presented the time in New York, this winter, to completely sold-out houses. It will be conducted by Mr. Bellezza On Tuesday night, Mme. Lucrezia Bori and Lily Pons will share honors in Thomas' charming French opera, "Mignon," singing "Mignon" and "Philine." Beniamino Gigli will have the role of "Wilhelm Meister," and Leon Rothier, the basso, that of "Lothario." In the masculine role of "Frederic," usually sung by a woman, will be Gladys Swarthout. Mr. Hasselman conducts. Maria Jeritza will make her Cleveland premier in Puccini's "Tosca," singing the name role in which the composer himself first directed her. The tenor role of "Mario" will also bring a newcomer to the Cleveland season in Georges Thill, the French tenor whose fame was made with her and La Scala and who joined the orchestra only this year. Lawrence Tibbett will sing the first of his two roles here, as "Baron Scarpia." Mr. Bellezza conducts. On Thursday night, Rosa Ponselle will repeat her greatest success, singing the name part in Bellini's "Norma," with Armand Tokatian as "Pollone," Ezio Pinza as "Oroveso" and with Tullio Serafin conducting. This opera was one of the high art last season in New York and London. Friday afternoon the series of four operas in two days begins, with SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS the matinee performance of Verdil's colorful and musical "Rigoloetto." It was in the role of "Gilda" in this opera that Lily Pons took thirty-five curtain calls in New York and she will be heard here in a cast thatBeniamino digs as "The Duke" Bessinio the name of Leon Rothier as "Sparacelle" and Gladys Swarthout as "Maddalena." Her Bellezza conducts. Friday evening the opera is Bizet's brilliant "Carmen," with Mme. Jeritza in the role of the beauty of Spain; Grace Moore as "Micelaa"; the Duke "Don Jose" and Ezio as "Escaimillo." Her Musselman conducts. The final day of opera opens with the matinee of Taylor's American opera, "Peter Ibetson," sung in English by the original cast, including Lucrezia Bori, Edward Johnson, Lawrence Tibbett and some twenty other "speaking" parts. Mr. Serafin conducts this great native opera, which is marked not alone by its music but by the clarity of its English diction. Here, perhaps, is the opera for "the tired business man." Mr. Serafin conducts this opera, which will give Mme. Lily Pona the opportunity to recreate in Cleveland the name role in "Lucia di Lammermoor," the opera in which she made her sensational New York debut this season. In the cast will be Minnie Egger as "Alisa," Beniamino Gigli as "Ed- LUCELIA BOOKI LUCREZIA BORI garder?” Giuseppe Danise as “Lord Ashton” and Ezio Pinza, “Raimondo.” As usual, there will be seats pressed from one to seven dollars at Publix and the other will be named in 30 cities in this part of the country. Special trains busses and airplanes will be scheduled for the performances here. Mail orders for season tickets may be sent to the opera offices at Lyon and Beaulieu. The single sale will be scheduled short, according to Harold J. Miskel, manager for the local season. A WEALTHY OHIO HOTEL-OWNER DIES Edward C. Berry Was Well-Known Thruout the State and Country. Athens, O.-Edward C. Berry age 76, known the country over as one of the most successful small hotels but prefected home here, last week Thursday. Edward C. Berry. Born in Oberlin in 1854, Mr. Berry came to Albany, Athens county, and attended school at Enterprise Academy. He later came to Athens and in 1893 opened the Berry Hotel, which he developed to a large threestory, modern structure. Assisted by his wife, a fine woman, he operated the hostelry for 30 years and in 1923 sold out and retired wealthy. Mr. Berry was a former trustee of Wilberforce University. "Fannie" Cullen New York City.—At the "Pansy" ball here, when noted folks were hugging members of the "third sex" men dressed in ladies' gowns, a "Pansy" walked up to Countee Cullen and addressed him as "Fannie." The poet responded with a smile. There were more pansies in pants than in dresses at this dance—Baltimore Afro-American.

LE COPY FIVE CENTS ISED! HAMPTON CHOIR MASTER OF SONG "Deeply Moving and Technically Perfect; Dr. Dett Wins High Acclaim," Says Prof. Jas, H. Rogers — Archie Bell's Question. The music critic for Cleveland's three daily newspapers, listening to the Hampton Institute chair last week Thursday evening in Publix Music hall, were unanimous in characterizing the organization as among the few best choirs or clubs in the city during Dr. Rob Dr. Robert N. Dett. ert Nathaniel Dett, its conductor and drillmaster, a "musician with a keen sense of beauty, and of the requirements of a well-balanced ensemble," as well as "a composer of distinction and wide reputation." All agreed that "has done wonders with his chorus." The choir's singing of spirituals, Russian and Afro-American religious folk songs, the latter being characterized "as the most richly musical of all folk songs" by Prof. Rogers of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, was characterized as the finest ever heard in Cleveland. The same praise was showcased by the choir's reittinier, higher class Russian and English compositions. In closing his account of the choir's concert, Archie Bell of the Cleveland News, one of the best music and dramatic critics in this sections of the country, wrote, last week Friday morning: "My reaction to the Hampton choir concert was, last evening: If other choirs and singing organizations can sing like these brown-skin folk from Hampton Institute in Virginia, why don't they do it?" Dr. Robert N. Dett holds some interesting theories on the subject of our music and, being somewhat of a pioneer in the field the still a young man, is in a position to speak with some authority on this phase of our rising culture. He says: "The own ownness is to put our music on a truly dignified and artistic basis. As the spiritualists stand, they are too crude for formal church service. In spite, however, of all that is said against the folksong from an artistic standpoint, the religious element does "My choruses, based on our folk themes, are not in any sense arrangement. The folk character is gained in some instances from only a line of folk song, serving merely as a theme upon which an entirely new composition is created. All the material used in the development of the folk song composition is, as far as possible, drawn from folk song sources or very closely imitates folk song style. Last year, Dr. Dett received the gold medal award of the Harmon Foundation in recognition of his creative work on a plane national in scope and contribution. The choir scored heaviest with the spiritual, "Were You There," the three secular folk songs for male voices, and "Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveller," one of Dr. Dett's compositions. SILBERT BILL RECOMMENDED. It Will Secure Joe Weaver Any Sum Up to $15,000 County Com- pany Columbus, O.—The Silbert bill, which authorizes the Cuyahoga county commissioners to pay Joe Weaver up to $15,000 in compensation, was recommended for passage. Tuesday, by the county affairs committee of the State House of Representatives. There was not a dissenting vote. Weaver and his attorneys, Nathan E. Cook and William F. Marsteller, who successfully took him from 22 months' incarceration in the death house at the penitentiary here to freedom, attended the hearing. Committee members asked Weaver just two questions: One was, Do you have any one deeding on you for support?" to which Weaver replied: Only my mother in Georgetown did have a wife, but when she thought I was going to die she left." The other question was: "If you get any money, will it all go to you?" Weaver said: "I don't see why it shouldn't. I don't owe money to a soul in the world." --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

The Hampton choir is undoubtedly a super vocal organization in training and ensemble work. Itsonal output is very good, but not wonderful. Its leader, Dr. Robert N. Dett, is unquestionably exceptional in the results he has secured both as a composer and director. The foregoing does not mean that it is not one of the best choirs or choruses in existence, because it is. Victor H. Daniels, head of Cardinal Gibbon's Institute, Ridge, Md., or someone ought to tell the Protestant Church that it is not hurting itself with what it is saying or doing "against lynching, peonage, color discrimination and other evils" suffered by the Afro-American, and therefore members of that church are not in a position to criticise the Catholic Church for any lack of activity in the matter. EDWARD C. BERRY PASSES OUT. In the death, last week, of our long-time friend, Edward C. Berry of Athens, Ohio has lost possibly its leading and best Afro-American business man in the last quarter of a century: His hotel in that city, which he owned and operated until he retired, about seven years ago, and made nationally famous among the leading traveling men of the country, was a perfect illustration of what the right kind of a competent business man of color can accomplish even in this country. It was the service, quality of food and conduct of Mr. Berry's neat and imposing hotel, which he built, that won him a place in the hearts and minds of his patrons the country over such as no other place of business, conducted by a member of the race, occupied since the heyday of the Wormley hotel of Washington, D.C., when it was fully in charge of the man it was named after. Edward C. Berry and his wife, both active workers in our church at Athens for many years, were two of the finest people we ever met and we have known them for more than a quarter of a century. Well-mated, fine, Christian people, it is impossible for any person to properly estimate the great loss to Mrs. Berry (and our people of Ohio) in the death of her husband. Heartfelt sympathy goes out to her from thousands of friends and acquaintances throut Ohio, and outside of the state. Requiescat in pace! SILBERT'S "FEATHERS." It is really remarkable that there was not a dissenting vote in the State House of Representatives county affairs' committee, Tuesday, when it recommended for introduction and passage the Silbert bill authorizing the commissioners of this (Cuyahoga) county to pay Joe Weaver up to $15,000 in compensation for his illegal confinement (of twenty-two months) in the deathhouse at the state penitentiary in Columbus. Here is another "feather" for Representative Joseph H. Silbert's cap. The first one was when he introduced the bill. We hope that by the time (soon) his bill triumphantly passes both State House and Senate that his cap will be full of "feathers" of credit which Joe Weaver's people particularly, will place there as reminders of the fact that Atty. Silbert has something coming to him when he is again a candidate for the Legislature or anything else. · THE REAL "NEW SOUTH." The kidnapping and beating, by a mob, of two Communists (white) in and near Dallas, Tex., recently, shows best the real temper of the "New South" toward the exercise of citizen-rights and privileges, upon the part of our people. The mob kidnapped and severely beat C. J. Coder and Leads Hurst, Communist organizers, first, because they publicly insisted upon Afro-Americans of that section being granted the com- moment rights and privileges, freely exercised by every white resident, even "crackers," in that section of the country. Secondly, because they were Communists and preaching a line of action, upon the part of all workers without reference to class or color in the South, thoroly at variance with the prejudiced customs of that backward section. Coder and Hurst were preaching against "jim-crowism," lynching and race discrimination in general and of course "got on the nerves" not only of the ku klux klan element, but also on those of about all of the white residents of Dallas and vicinity. They were kidnapped almost in the police station, when liberated after a trumped-up trial. The authorities of the city made no effort to apprehend members of the klan gang which kidnapped and beat them. A number of the gang, too, were well-known business men of Dallas. The victims were beaten (with ropes) into unconsciousness and thrown to a road-side outside of Dallas by the brutal mobocrats and by where Afro-American farmers found them and for six days cared for them. Their attorney (white), a resident of Dallas, who obtained their release from jail, was also kidnapped and carried into the country but released unharmed and warned not to represent Communists again. However, he publicly stated that he would testify before the grand jury investigating the disgraceful affair. Whether he has done so or not we have been unable to learn. What a commentary upon the boasted freedom of this great country and upon the regard for law and order and justice in the southern half of this country, at least, is the miserable treatment of those two Communists who, if citizens, were clearly within their rights, as such, in all they said in their speeches at Dallas. If they are not citizens, they should promptly file a complaint with the individuals in the United States who represent the countries from whence they came and to which they still belong. "Great is the land of the free and the home of the brave," especially when the southern section is being considered. As a matter of fact the "New South" is a blot upon the escutcheon of the United States of America. PRIME SPORT NEWS Godfrey in Three Wins. Jersey City, N. J.-George Godfrey, champion heavyweight pugilist, is also a rarin, 'rarin' caveman as a 'rassler." He played so rough with the venerable Tommy Draak (white) in a wrestling match here last week Thursday night, that Tymmy for his cane and walker after 15 minutes and walked. With 10,000 fans in the Oakland arena, the management sent Jack Arnold in to continue with George and Godfrey tossed him in 14 minutes. Monday night, George defeated Andy Zaharoff of Russia in short time in Gomel, N. J., pinning blim to the mat twice in 17 minutes, 24 seconds. "Pennsys" Win Second. Although handicapped by the expulsion of Tony Admonites and Tish Trapnell because of personal fouls in the third period, Pennsylvania Railroads evened the Muny Class championship series with the Shaun Bros. Bowl at 2 aft to 20 to 20 at Eks Hall W27th day night. Each team now has won one game. The deciding game will be played, next week. Johnny Biaglow's field goal and free throws by Trapnell and Johnny Door sent the Pennsys off to a 5 to 0 lead in the first period. The Slaughters spurted and went ahead 11 to 10 when Smith dropped in a field goal and a charity toss a moment before the game. The low again regained the advantage for the Railroads in the third period, which ended 19 to 14. Little Johnnie "Going Some." Little Johnnie "Going Some." Little Johnnie Wood, 1930 Golden Glove novice and a favorite to reach the open finals, this year, was one of the Plain Dealer tournament sensations, last year, winning from four boys, including Tony Valore, Johnnie Hancock, and his sponsorship. Johnnie is sports-writer for the Kennard Junior High Echo and one of the brightest boys in the school, being president of the student council and school boxing club. He is also captain of the Seneca quintet which is leading the Cedar "Y." Class C loop. He has been boxing fourteen months and had only boxed twice before entering the novice division, last year. Johnnie has a gold medal he won in the 1920 tournament. He is contemplating a return to boxing, student gloves and the boxing outfit which will go to an open champion, and has his eye on a chance to box in the National A. A. U. tournament at Madison Square Garden, N. Y City, in April. Slaughters Slaughter "Pennsys"! Slaughters Slaughter "Pennsys!" The powerful Slaughters Bros. cagers won a 20 to 19 decision over the Pennsylvania Railroads. Tuesday night, as the Muny A three-game series opened at Elk hall. For three turbulent periods the two quintets had considerable fields that ever started a Muny A season—battled nip-and-tuck. In the last period, however, when the Pennsys were ahead, 18 to 16, and Johnny Dorr and Johnny Biaglow were expelled because of personal fouls, the weakened Railroaders surrendered a lead they could never again regain. The Slaughters registered four fouls, two from throws but the Pennsys, unable to score from the field until only four minutes of the first half remained, kept right behind their foes because of accuracy from the fifteen-foot stripe. The first period ended with the Slaughters leading, 6 to 5, but the Pennsys were ahead, 14 to 11, at the intermission. Tish Trapnell, who played a great floor game or, more accurately, gave the Pennsys a 19 to 18 advantage with five minutes remaining. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1931. THE NEW YORK TIMES WHAT'S DOING! Only one of the 47 new members of the police force, appointed Monday by Director of Safety Edwin D. Barry, is a member of the race. And we have three members of the City Council! And one, a Mrs. Hackney, was appointed a policewoman, this week. Councilman Roy Bundy returned home from City hospital, the first of the week, after many weeks' sojourn there. An operation was performed on him, a couple of weeks ago, it is said. Oh, what an "operative" (political) will be performed on this subject at this fall's election! While Councilmen Payne and George "sleep at the switch," Councilman McGinty and Kohen pushed through the necessary legislation in the City Council, recently, for the Scovill Ave. 5-cent zone trial, between E. 55th St. and Public Square, now on. Why is it they don't try to get our people the same concession for the Central Ave. line? Do something more serious, the commercial, gentlemen, and do it quickly? The election is not far distant and all of "The Blossom Triplets" are in bad, very bad with their constituents of the third district. Show and prove or—! This is the slogan in Ohio. Investigation to determine the feasibility of discontinuing service on the Central Ave. trolley line and slashing base table schedules on certain other poorly-paying routes is being conducted by the Cleveland Railway Co. and Traction Commissioner Ballou's office. For more than two years the Rounder and the Gazette have been wary of the people of the Central Ave. district that this was coming, and will arrive with the extension of Central Ave. to E. 105th St. in time for the completion of the great Lorain-Central bridge which is now in the making. We commenced nearly three years ago to try to make Central Ave. business men, particularly the organization of a Central Ave. Improvement Association of the purpose of looking after our interests in this matter because when the car line is removed from Central Ave. it will be made an automobile thorafore. This will kill that street for practically all business enterprises that do not deal in automobiles or carry auto accessories just like it has done to Carnegie Ave. an automobile thorafore. This will make Central Ave. business men to be able to may be too late, now, to accomplish anything but one never knows what can be done until a bona fide effort is made. Soon, after, however, Harry Meeks found the net from mid-floor to clinch the game for the Slaughters. A deadly shooter and an accomplished pivot man, Bill Smith of the Slaughters, was recently revealed as an unofficial Class A player following an unofficial caucus of team managers.

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: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob just another county. 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. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action that is possessed within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6284. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) 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受害 of a person killed or seriously injured by any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, less there was contributory negligence, and more there was contributory county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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. 12940. 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the commodities advantages, facilities, privileges, there are, shall be fined 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 persecuted 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. Lots Of Money, But WHAT'S HE WANT? HE MAKES YOU AN OFFER TO GO BEFORE THE FOOTLIGHTS AFTER THE SEASON Be Chic, But Above All, Be Natural M. By EMMA LOU FETTA BECAUSE there have been interviewed on the subject of clothes many business women and homemakers, but rarely professional artists, we decided the other day to ask a well known singer how she chooses her clothes. Accordingly, we sought an interview with lovely Margaret Keller, the New York singer whose voice is heard in two leading churches in the national air, the air is tall, the light, dark and criminally grave. Fortunately she could spare us a new photograph in which she is wearing one of those dainty durene lace dinner frocks with a demure capetel, a stately two-tier, flared skirt—an appealing individual frock. We had often noticed that Miss Margaret Keller's clothes were invariably expressive of delicate dumpliness, sometimes intriguingly. Something very special that!

If Miss Keller were to wear the rocks which would be similar to some other type appear smart, she would seem merely extravagant. Instinctively she follows the mode, she explained, only in the matter of shades and general lines which each season offers. In textures and basic colors she follows her own natural impulses as since as they are sound. And, of course, she suits clothes to the occasion! This is precisely the lesson leading fashion exponents are today trying to teach—naturalness. If black makes you look disconsolate and wee-begone, don't think of wearing it. If blue makes you look beautiful, when you should be statuesque, please don't wear it either. Smiles that BEGUILE When skin is satiny, soft and light, then smiles beguile and your beauty is alluring.

Pro. State Prohibition Director Clarence Sears frankly reports that he is displacing Republicans with Democrats in his department because he prefers Democrats to Republicans. One cannot help admiring his frankness and loyalty to his party. If only our local Republicans would take a tip from Sears and clean out the many Democrats and "Hopkins Republicans" who actively labored to destroy the local Republican organization, two years ago, we would have a much brighter chance of success, this coming fall. Then let only one political job be held by a single family and its relatives. Fully vaccinated Republicans may diately become available for that many of the faithful among the unemployed. Wake up! local Republicans, ere it is too late! Presidential election, next year, too! Also, we sorely need a morning Republican paper in Cleveland! One by one, northern states and a few southern states have followed the lead of Ohio in enacting mob-violence acts or anti-lynching laws. The latest to do so is the state of Indiana. Quite a majority of northern states have such a law. This really the only solution of the mob-violence or lynch-murder problem because as long as the South has such commanding influence with the Republican majorities in the U. S. House of Representatives and Senate no anti-mob-violence or anti-mob-violence acts have been acted. This, The Gazette made clear, years ago, when the N. A. A. C. P. secured the introduction of its first anti-lynching bill. For making this statement we were severely criticized at the time, but criticisms gradually grew less in number until they were practically stopped, several years later. This was a proud of being the "daddy" of Ohio's pioneer Mob-Violence or Anti-Lynching law. "Might Be Worse." Oh, well, things might be worse. The city hasn't bought a $250,000 organ for the stadium. It was originally estimated that the lighting system for the stadium would cost $40,000 but now it is found the cost will be $157,667.

He called to them to return to the corner where, it is said, he had a crowd (white) to beat them up. When Eugene saw Joe running back of them he said to John: "He must have a gun or he wouldn't be running after us." Eugene then slipped a pocket-knife up his sleeve and they started running, but Joe overtook them. Another member of our race happened to be passing by, saw the excitement and started calling the street and of course boys called him to help. This caused Joe who had overtaken the boys and was abusing them, to turn his head to see who was coming and then click the gun in an effort to shoot Eugene, so the latter, who stabbed Joe in the left temple, says.

Announcing the first official entry of a car and driver in the international 500-mile automobile race which will be held at the Indianapolis Motor speedway In May, the management indicated that there are prospects for more cars being named for the running of this speed classic than ever before in its history. Bill White, youthful than paunchy racing impressario of Los Angeles, makes the first entry—an unnamed mount possessing more or less mystery concerning its mechanical heritage. It will be christened by breaking a can of gasoline over its prow at a later date, White announced. Driver for White William "Shorty" Canton, second in last year's event, is named as the driver for White's 1931 speed creation, Diminutive and during. Canton is rated as one of the most capable speed stars of the present racing generation. So small that it is necessary to make a special seat behind the steering wheel so that he can see over the cowl of even a conventional racing car. Canton always is a speeding contender. Shy and so quiet that his vocabulary around the track seldom stretches the bounds of "yes sir" or "no sir" he writes volumes in rubber every time he takes a car on a speedway. Detroit is his home, he vacations in California and his early training in speed was on dirt tracks. White, the entrant of the first car for the Indianapolis race, is a strategist of the old school. Learning his lessons in the heyday of Jimmy Murphy, Howdy Willeco, Joe Boyer and Roscoe Sarles, White, because of his excessive weight never has driven a racing car. It is not merely a coincidence, therefore, that he always chooses a tiny pilot to mount his cars. George Souders Won. In the past four years he has seen his colors flash across the finish wire at Indianapolis in first, second and third positions. It was in 1927 that he purchased a car at the trackside, rebuilt it in short order and sent George Souders, an unknown driver, into the contest which he won. The following year with Souders again at the wheel of his car, White saw his colors run third to the victory of Louis Meyer. The following year his car broke up. But last year, Cantlon, tooling the White entry raced home right behind Billy Arnold, the winner. Deadening Undesirable Noises in the Engine The automobile world is becoming more skillful at deadening undesirable noises in the engine and car body, some of these plans being simple enough to pass along to the average motorist for home consumption. If the exhaust manifold has a habit of "ringing," for instance, all you need to do is weld a small square of metal to the top of the piping. This will deaden the noise. Many manifolds now come through from the factories with a heavy cross section built into them in the form of a boss. To deaden the noises sometimes heard in cars with steel bodies there is available a plastic substance which can be applied in various ways in accordance with the temperature and its consistency at the time the work is done. It is particularly effective for coating the metal insides of the doors. Have Brakes Equalized "Be sure your brakes are equalized." That is the warning given to motorists by Rudolph Jose, veteran automobile dealer, who points out that during the next few months the automobile driver will have emphatic need for brakes that operate positively and with precise efficiency. "The average automobile's tendency to skid on slippery surfaces is aggravated." Mr. Jose says, "by brakes that are not equalized. By exerting an uneven pressure they make applying the brakes on such a surface definitely dangerous. "Equalized brakes, on the other hand, will minimize one of the greatest hazards of winter motoring." Illiterate Drivers Are Termed Highway Menace Declaring that no one who is unable to understand highway warning and direction signs in English should be allowed to drive a motor vehicle, the American Automobile association revealed that the great majority of the states have made no provision to protect the public against the danger accruing from the presence of thousands of complete illiterates on the road. In spite of the tremendous volume of motor vehicle laws, regulations and ordinances confronting the car owners at every turn, there are now 35 states with a registration of more than 16,000,000 where drivers are not subject to any examination as to their understanding of danger and direction signs. This is the high light of an exhaustive survey made by the national motoring body, which, among other things, disclosed that those states that do not require the applicant for a permit to distinguish between "Stop" and "Go" have the highest average percentage of illiteracy. "On the basis of our survey and of our analysis of existing laws, there is no doubt whatever that the time has come when in the interest of national safety on the highway this secreous laxity in the requirements for driving privileges must receive attention." Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, Mich., president of the American Automobile association, declared.

Provisional Judge Foster of St. Louis, Mo., recently fined a truck owner $100 for blocking the path of a street car with his truck. "Keep vehicles moving and traffic congestion will be relieved somewhat," Nathan W. Dongerty of the Tennessee highway department, says. Another form of thrift that should be discouraged is shown by the man who parks his truck on a public highway, and then turns out the tall light to save the battery. An occasional opening of the throttle to about half its full are will not injure the engine that is being broken in, and it may help to keep the spark plug points clean. When valves are ground or adjusted sufficient clearance should be allowed for expansion and contraction. Follow instructions printed on motor block or ask your dealer what the correct clearance should be. There is a natural tendency for windows in cars to become "frosted" on the inside while driving in cold weather. To overcome this open the windows slightly to permit a better circulation of air. Despite the tremendous volume of motor vehicle laws, regulations and ordinances confronting the car owners, there are 35 states in the Union with a registration of more than 16,000,000, where drivers are not subjected to examination as to their understanding of danger or direction signs. NEW COATS EMPHASIZE UNFURRED MODELS OF SPONGY, COLORFUL WEAVE Radio Pictured ITS quite the fashionable thing thus spring to wear a halo. Ask your milliner about these new halo hats. They are the sensation of the moment. All the leading shops are featuring them. The "reason why" these new little hats, which set far back on the head framing the face with a roundabout trimming are called "halo hats," is not difficult to guess. As you see by the several models in the group pictured, the trimming surrounds the head like a halo. As to vells they are as popular as halos. The manner of wearing them is an art in itself, which must be mastered to interpret chic. It is really quite practical, this idea of adjusting the wee vells which are so smart for spring. The way to do it is to arrange the vell over the hair before putting on the chapeau. Some of the new vells are that shallow they do not come below the eyebrows, looking like a fringe of hair beneath the hat. NEW COATS EMPHA MODELS OF SPONG IF it is unfurred, is made of a stunning spongy wool weave, if it has a "tricky" scarf arrangement and an unusual sleeve, then depend on it the coat which answers to this description is a brand-new this-season model. Just such a coat is shown in the illustration—Rita La Roy of radio players pictures, posing. Both the coat and the matching beret are fashioned of tweed, the new soft, spongy kind, in mottled beige and brown tones. A scarf collar, cape sleeves and a narrow leather belt are distinguishing features. Spring coat collections especially emphasize the favor for spongy fabrics of nubbed mixture construction, Skipter blue, tan tones, browns, green and some red are prominent. Gray has come into its own for dresser models and white nubbed black tweed registers smartly for sports types.

DIVIDE HONORS MILLINERY SHOWINGS HONORS SHOWINGS INC IN HOSPITAL ASS Badly Equ Advocacy In the picture halos and veils divide honors. Describing the hats in the order they are sketched the first model has a crown of novelty straw cloth the halo-brim is made of machine-stitched silk. For the hat shown to the right at the top, the designer halos its satin shallow crown with a lattice-work formed of narrow millinery folds of self-satin. A tosse of crepe in three colors halos the model of supple straw centered in the group. Note the wee veil worn with the cap-fitting hat made of coarse shiby straw as sketched to the left. The halo encircling the hat to the right is interesting in that it is braided of three strands of material just as one plaits hair. The last hat is felt and is here shown because of its tiy veil and the perky little feather not unlike a question mark, which trims it. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (© 1831, Western Newspaper Union.) ASIZE UNFURRED Y, COLORFUL WEAVE Audio Pickuped Audio Pictures of belt treatments ranging from narrow effects to wide soft-tied girdles of self fabric play their part in achieving coats of distinction. Button fastening is another accent placed on the new models. In fact, the new and ingenious placement of buttons is a study in itself. One of the newest gestures is the touching up of the coat with a dash of plaid silk. A coat in light navy, for instance, detailed with a plaid silk scarf collar with plaid facing the elbow-depth cuffs is as nifty as one may hope to see. By the way, scarfs must be worn smartly to be chic. Bright cavat ties are tied close up around the throat, either ascot fashion or in a natty bow with long, streamers. As a rule, the scarf is set snugly on the inside of the collar. The chief mission of the vivid color is to supply a sploch of vivid color. CHERIE NICHOLAS.

(Special to The Gazette) (Special To The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J. — Mr. Rosenwald has done much good for our people in the South where it is impossible to hire a good deal. His hospitalization value we believe Mr. Rosenwald's heart is right in his benefactions, but some one is leading him wrong in attempting to get him to build separate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built over the crumbling of the city. Now our physicians coming North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these Dr. William A. Byrd. separate hospitals. There is no need for them here and these physicians should know that they are just as unacceptable as their "race hospital ideas" are. In Jersey City, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the finest and best equipped hospitals in this country. In these hospitals no discrimination is shown. Dr. Euclid Ghee, son of the well-known surgeon who has been appointed on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hospital. Young Dr. Ghee is a graduate of Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University College department. By his ability, studiousness and good sense, he has been one of the leading wares in these hospitals. It is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "jim-crow" hospitals. Only physicians of known ability practice and operate in first-class hospitals. Our people have been made the stalking way for our unprepared physicians to do their butchering. It may be concluded that, when one hears a loud noise about establishing some particular place for some colored professional man to ply his trade, there is in the back-background incompetence, self-fitness and grief. The physicians can be as well equipped as any other physician, if they would only take time and money and prepare themselves. There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's", etc., because they are not prepared to ply their trade or enter "Y's" among men of standing and first-class qual- are credited every ye Ignorant Ministers. Billions of Chuckles ifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great number of persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice and a shrewd understanding. The many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorances and ancient habits of our people, simply to get Telephone Handy Ra W. H. Chase and Telephone Man Invents Handy Radio Device WILD CLOSE and their interaction Employees of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company discovered an inventor in their midst when it became known that W. H. Chase of Cleveland Heights, had patented a device which shuts off the radio when the telephone is being used. It consists of a small felt pad on which the telephone rests. Within the pad is a spring arrangement and a cord leads from this to the radio, where it connects with the tubes. When the telephone is used, it is lifted from the pad. The spring operates to open a contact and the radio stops playing. It starts again when the telephone is replaced. s of uckles ar to the inventor le of comic draw- s are never con- y artist other than E GOLDE Them!

A very little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and many of them are not third grade pupils in grammar schools. These race-churches, like what physicians call "race hospitals," are doing more injury to religion than help. The physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, it can truthfully say: It is worth eight in sight. I admire the method—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race into the fight, I take off my hat to humble, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) Man Invents Audio Device This invention The invention is the result of years of experiment, which started when Chase, as telephone transmission engineer, investigated complaints that patrons were unable to hear over the telephone when the radio was in use. On his own initiative, Chase devised the plan whereby the telephone user would not have to walk over to turn off the radio before answering the telephone. Chase attended Hiram college for a year, spent two years at the Case School of Applied Science, and was graduated from the Harvard engineering school. BERG ding It Reading It
