Smith, who, having been duly sworn according to law, deposes, and says that he is the owner of The Gazette and that the following is, to the best of its knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, etc. of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.

That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholder or security holder appears upon the books of the company, that the same list of fiduciary relation, the names of the person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner, and this assumption has no reason for any other person, association, or corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as so stated by him. Signed, Harry C. Smith, Sworn to and subscribed before me this 26th day of March, 1931. Paul Apple, Notary Public. (My commission expires Sept. 6. 1933.) Policemen Robbers? Columbus, O.—Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, last Saturday, requisitioned Gov. George White for the immediate extradition of Clare E. Dennison and James M. Mowry of Conneaut, policemen (white) under arrest at Jefferson. Dennison and Mowry are charged with holding up and robbing John Williams of Cleveland, March 20, at Conneaut Lake, Pa. It is said they met him in Conneaut on the day of the robbery, forced him into an auto, where he was handcuffed, and drove to Conneaut Lake. He was said to have been robbed of $363.85. No. "Jim Crow" Hospital. New York City.—There are no plans for the establishment of a "Negro" hospital in this city by the Julius Rosenwald Fund, as stated recently by members of the Manhattan Medical society, which is unalterably opposed to such a thing. Their report charges that "Rosenwald hospitals in New York are unjustified." It is asserted that the Rosenwald Fund is committed to inter-racial participation in hospital management. The ROUNDER Rev. C. C. Ailer, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church, as a result of the article in the defunct Call & Post, last week, roundly denounced that paper at the Baptist Ministerial conference, Monday afternoon, in Rev. W. Page's church, cor. E. 30th St. and Scovill Ave. The population of the third councilman district has decreased nearly fifty thousand in the ten years from 1920 to 1930, according to the U. S. census, while that of the first, second and fourth districts have increased materially. The result is the third district is in danger of its坠业 its councilmen before the fall election. "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne and Bundy) are in the third district. Several hundred Carnegie Ave. bus-riders have signed a petition, protesting the proposed discontinuance of their bus-line. Several hundred Central Ave. business men and property-holders, who have more to lose by the taking off of the Central Ave, car line, are fast asleep and doing nothing. It doesn't seem possible to awaken them and get them to organize. The Central Ave. Imp. Association for the purpose of looking after their interests in an organized way. The city board of control, last week Thursday, awarded contracts for eight paving projects to cost nearly $500,000, and Street Commissioner Conrad Domby has promised the most pretentious street improvement program in recent years, this spring and summer. There will be 554th Sts; so if you want to work with your councilman now, as he will be able to get employment for a large number of our men. He is going to need you, this fall, so see that he does something for you now. Councilman Herman Finkle certainly was right when he favored going back to the mayor plan of city government and the Councilmen elected by wards system. It would help greatly to relieve the unemploy-ment in the city, and the city would give to Cleveland voters and taxpayers a hundred or more good jobs which are held by suburbanities—those who work in the city of Cleveland but live in the suburbs and therefore cannot vote here (in the city). At present, we are in the same position as we were in Niagara and Liberia. Won't something, or somebody, emancipate us from "entangling alliances"? The "passing," this week, of our local contemporary, "The Call & Post," was announced, last week, by that publication. If memory serves The Rounder correctly, this is the third or fourth time "The Call" has "died," or "passed out," since its initial publication and prior to its being taken over by the Post, several years ago. Editor Cheeks also announced that the defunct publication would be succeeded by the Cleveland Guide which he monthly, for a brief time prior to his becoming associated with "The Call & Post" which according to the editor of The Gazette, is the twenty-first race publication to die in Cleveland since the inception of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, forty-eight years ago. Of course, you know it has been published every week on time ever since its first publication on Aug. 25, 1883. In an address to a local political organization, delivered last Saturday night, Ex-Congressman James T. Begg, former resident of Sandusky but now located in Cleveland, said among other things: "I admire Governor White because he has the courage to be honest. He fired 16 employees and frankly said he did it because they were Republicans and he wanted to supplant them with Democrats," he said, during a plea for the two-party system. "If we were to do that, what a holier-than-than atmosphere created by our nonpartisan critics." Of Mr. Maurice Maschke, who was absent because business called him to Washington, Mr. Begg said: "Of all the politicians I have met, SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FRENCH STATESMEN AND OTHERS PUBLICLY PRAISE HIM FOR SO DOING. Jo Baker, Actress, Still Big Favorite—Germany's Black Lover—A Real Soldier—Praise for Robeson—Black Prince Given Military Medal. Paris, France.—Josephine Baker, actress, continues to score a success at the Casino de Paris. In one act she appears with Joe Alix, Senegalese dancer, in a stormy scene in the tropics. She also has a white dance partner, and two white actors, who toss her in an acrobatic act over their heads. Miss Baker's brown body, which is quite nude, save for a tiny triangle of rhinestone, seems almost perfect in its suppleness. mends Paul Robeson for his advice to Afro-Americans that they should endeavor to find artistic expression among their own people rather than seek it elsewhere. "This," says the Tribune, "seems to us sound advice applicable to creative workers of any race. It is, of course, like all generalizations subject to exceptions, but does not therefore lose its general validity. It is common experience that when we have an artist like Robeson sing a Negro The Prince Thami Glaiou, Pasha of Marrakech, Morocco, has been awarded the Military Medal, a distinction reserved for general officers. The prince, who is black, has already received the Croix de Guerre and is a Grand Commander of the Legion of Honor, the highest decoration with the exception of one in that order. The brother of Abd el-Krim, noted leader of Moroccan revolt, is now a coachman at Starssiedel, Germany, in the employ of a rich land owner of that town. It is said that the car correspondence with Abd el-Krim, is exiled onoman island off the coast of Madagascar. According to La Dpeche Coloniale of Paris, the black Moroccan, is a favorite with the ladies of Starssiedel; "he can no longer count his conquests in all the region, where there is no longer question of 'the black shame.'" For obedience to a superior officer it would be difficult to find a more striking instance than that of Ahmadmou, a Senegalese soldier who was placed on guard at Rocforthe, the sergeant, in placing Ahmadmou on guard, it seems, indicated a certain spot and told him to stand there. For three hours, the Senegalese stood at the spot until he was relieved. He was then given power to move the hospital. Taken to the hospital, it was discovered that the immobility had caused both feet to be frozen and that amputation was necessary. Clement Vautel, leading columnist, writing of the incident, says that many will consider the Senegalese a fool for standing like a statue on a cold night, and that he no doubt badly understood what was expected of him, but that such an act is real heroism and the soldier deserves not only a pension, but the military medal, one of the highest decorations. The Chicago Tribune (Paris edition) in a leading editorial com- I have never found a cleaner man than Maurice Maschke. Yet, if one were to judge him without seeing him or knowing him, what a picture they would get." What the Republican party in this town wanted men of the Jim Begg type. His speech was a "corker," and he certainly is not afraid of Democratic newspapers or weekknee Republicans. GIRL FOLEGHT "JIM-CROW." Chester, Pa.—Mary Millbourne, age 16, student of high school, was ordered by her teacher to sit in a particular part of the class room. Mary refused to move. When threatened with suspension, she told the teacher she intended to remain in the school. She was then taken to the principal's office where G. W. decided to submit to her teacher's instructions or leave the school. Mary said she would do neither. Whereupon Principal Pedlow escorted her to the door. Mary countered with a well-aimed shot with an ink pot, and followed this with kicks and scratches. John Christian, a chemistry teacher, and J. Graben, another teacher, ran to Pedlow's assistance. But they were unable to cope with Mary. The police reserves Pedlow was treated at the hospital for numerous lacerations and bruises. Graben and Christian escaped with a few kicks on the shins and "slightly shattered nerves." The Ralls Ask New Trials Bucyrus, O.-Judge Clarence U. Ahl is considering applications for new trials, filed by attorneys of Walter and Blanton Ralls, chicken-thieves, convicted slayers of Sheriff John B. McCormick, Jan. 23, in attempting to arrest them and Ellijah Ralls, an uncle, who was shot to death, "when he tried to escape." The impression is that the Ralls are entitled to new trials because the indictment did not charge them with murder for which they were tried. 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 NEWSMEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

"This," says the Tribune, "seems to us sound advice among the workers of any race. It is of course, like generalizations, subject to exceptions, but does not therefore lose its general validity. It is common experience that when we have an artist like Robeson sing a Negro spiritual we get an impression of unique mastery and significance which, with all his gifts, we do not ballad or a German singing of a Scotch ballad or a German singing of a same reason no Scotch or German can give the Negro spiritual the quality a competent colored artist can give it. There is no invidious comparison here. There is no question of superiority of culture over it. It is simply a matter of the sources of our music, and we are in the artist's intimate experience, not merely his individual, but his racial experience." Minister Blaise Diagne, former legislator from Senegal, was the guest of honor at a banquet, recently, celebrating his appointment as undersecretary of state in the Laval cabinet. Several leading diplomats were present, including Senator Beranger of Guadeloupe and Deputies Canadace and Delmont. Deputy Candace told of the stir that Diagne's appointment had caused in Germany and elsewhere. "Only France," he said, is great enough to shot a step. She has said there is no inferior race, only backward ones. Minister Diagne's appointment is the highest lesson she could give to the civilized world." Mrs. Diagne, who is white, sat near her husband. Several white speakers, including Senator Beranger, commended Minister Diagne in having married "a daughter of the metropolis," and thus not, only bringing Senegal near to France, in creating a better understanding between the races. Their remarks on this point were specially applauded. Diagne's eldest son, a supporter of note who also works in the Colonie Office, was present. Most of the leading colored persons of Paris were several of whom are commanders of the Legion of Honor. The master of ceremonies was Colonel Marc Littse, colored. — Baltimore Afro-American. 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. With hundreds of mail orders already in for tickets covering the entire week's repertoire of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, here April 27 to May 2, the season seat sale opened. Monday morning at Lyon and Healy's, 1226 Huron Rd., with prospects of the greatest ticket-sale in the eight years of the gala spring opera festival. Uniform demand to hear all of the unusual series of operas has been shown among the early orders, with Deems Taylor's new American opera, "Peter Ibetsbon," somewhat in the lead. Comments from veteran opera-goers since the announcement of the repertoire and the distinguished casts which are to be heard here, hail the selections as the most balanced group given anywhere in the world during six days. Cleveland also ranks as the only place where grand opera can be heard for as low as one dollar a seat. Unusual interest has been shown in the Cleveland premiers of Maria Jeritza, Lily Pons and Grace Moore Jeritza, famous Viennese soprano, will be heard in "Tosca" and "Carmen." Three appearances are scheduled for the little French coloratura, Lily Pons, "Hagolettó," "Lucia da Lammermoor" and "Mignon," in which she will share her debut with Lacerta Fiora. Rosa Ponselle, always a Cleveland favorite, is showing her box-office attraction in the first night "La Traviata" on Friday evening's "Norma," in which she will be heard late in opera-week for the first time in three years, giving out-of-town opera lovers a chance to hear her on a week-end visit here. --- (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1931. President Herbert Hoover is going to talk over the radio to Tuskegee N. & I. Institute at its fifteenth anniversary celebration, April 12-14. This he is doubtless doing for his good friend, Principal R. R. Moton. Possibly the president is refraining from going to Tuskegee for fear some newspaper photographer might want to take his picture, addressing a Tuskegee assembly. Our students of Lincoln University are segregated "jim-crowed" in one corner of a small movie theater at Oxford, Pa., but members of the white faculty sit anywhere they wish in the theater. Oxford is only a few miles from the university. This is a natural result of the establishment of "jim-crow Ys" and schools in the state of Pennsylvania on the insistence, some years ago, of "Negroes." President Hoover's characterization of the Virgin islands as a "poorhouse" (from an economic viewpoint) does not please the leading publications of the country because the islands are "military grounds" of great value, especially since the completion of the Panama canal. The President's statement is: "Viewed from every point except remote naval contingencies, it was unfortunate that we ever acquired these islands." This on his return from his recent trip there and to Porto Rico. The majority population of the islands is "colored" and our president has never been able to warm up to this class, race or group of his constituents, it seems. If it is true that the Hon. Charles W. Mitchell of Institute, West Virginia, the recently appointed U. S. minister to Monrovth, Liberia, Africa, was refused accommodation by several London, England, hotels while en route to his post of duty, we fail to see how he is going to get anywhere by asking this government to insist upon adequate redress for the insult to this country as a result of his mistreatment. Since the World War, American officials and others have insisted upon this sort of discrimination being practiced wherever they have gone, especially in London, Berlin, Paris and other large European centers. Recognized as the richest country in the world since the World War, this was easy of accomplishment in those countries which had borrowed large sums of money from this country. And this means about all Europe. The desire to "do big things in a big way" before they have learned to do little things well, which was brought to the North from the South in the last fourteen years, is what caused the A. M. E. Book Concern to move out of a $27,000 building into a $250,000 specially built plant, in Philadelphia, last year, and to move back into a $25,000 building within the week. This at a loss of $30,000 which was paid on the $250,000 building, the loss of money paid for new machinery and equipment in that building, etc. As a matter of fact the Book Concern lost nearly everything it had accumulated in seventy-five years and will start all over again by purchasing new machinery as well as new quarters, says the Baltimore Afro-American. This same heart-rending experience, only in a smaller way and for the same fool-reason, has been visited upon a number of communities throttle the North, particularly during the economic depression of the last two or three years. "THE EMPEROR JONES." Nearly all the audience that filed out of the Cleveland's Little Theater of Public Hall, Sunday night, left the theater well satisfied with the production of Eugene O'Neill's drama, "The Emperor Jones," presented in the Cleveland Plain Dealer Theater of Nations series by our Gilpin Play- ers of Karamu theater. Dramatic expression and striking lighting effects were coupled with excellent spiritual singing to make one of the best contributions to the Theater of Nations during the present series, said the local daily press, Monday. Fitzhugh L. Woodford's characterization of the blustering emperor was very good, even with the acting of the late Charles Gilpin as a criterion. Paul L. Banks interpreted the character of Smithers, cockney trader, and also (in the "curtain raiser") portrayed the part of an old plantation preacher, in connection with which it was easy to introduce spiritual singing. The entire proceeds of the performance have been added to the Gilpin Players' $5,000 scholarship fund, administered by the Cleveland Museum of Art, to provide education for our promising students at the Cleveland School of Art. This may justify, at least in part, the performance because neither the "curtain raiser" nor the play, "The Emperor Jones", are the kind of stage productions that are calculated to prove helpful to and elevate the race in the slightest in the estimation of thoufful people other than those who witnessed both for the "artistic" work of one or more of their participants. There were some, too, in the audience, Sunday evening, who seemed to sense this. THE GOVERNOR'S REFUSAL. Wonder if politics had anything to do with Gov. George White's refusal to honor the requisition issued by Pennsylvania's governor (Pinchot) for the return to Meadville, Pa., of the two Conneau, Ohio, policemen (white) where they are wanted on a charge of kidnapping and robbing John Williams of this city, a member of the race. If politics hadn't anything to do with it, then the Ku Klux Klan did. As you know, Gov. White is a Democrat. Williams, of course, is a Republican. The explanation of Gov. White's refusal, given by his executive secretary, to the effect that "evidence showed the policemen were not in Pennsylvania at the time the alleged crime was committed," does not explain by a good deal. C. E. Denison and James Mowry, the policemen in question, should be permitted to produce that alleged evidence in court at Meadville, Pa. and let it decide, and not the Governor, or the Governor's executive secretary for him. There is absolutely no question but what full protection and even-handed justice would be afforded the two officers in Meadville or anywhere else, even in the South, because the plaintiff in the case is an Afro-American. Therefore, there is no good excuse for Ohio's Democratic governor to refuse the requisition of Pennsylvania's progressive governor. FESSLER PREJUDICED. Mayor Fessler, a director of the Citizen's league, commenced opposing Arthur Johnston before he was elected mayor of Miles Heights village, and did everything he could to prevent him from assuming the position after it became certain that he would be elected to it. Johnston was a Miles Heights village councilman at the time and a good one, too. He has made a good mayor but unfortunately (from Fessler's and that vicinity Kluxers' viewpoints) he is "colored." And that fact is the foundation of the underlying motif of their concerted action to secure the annexation to Cleveland of Miles Heights village. The fight to accomplish this has been on for some months and would be much better understood by all of the residents of this city, and Cuyahoga county, if the daily newspapers had been fair and published Johnston's statements, as well as Fessler's, made at the open sessions-or conferences of those most interested, in the offices of the county commissioners at the new court house. Repeatedly, Mayor Johnston exposed the true animus of the Fessler fight in the annexion of the Fessler sight in the papers they gave his opponent. If a bonafide majority of the voters of Miles Heights village desire annexation they should have it. But we insist, in common with all other fair-minded and unprejudiced tax-payers in this community, that our county commissioners (and we feel sure they will) see to it that there is a goodly majority of the names of the "legal voters" of the village on those petitions, favoring annexation to the city, before they take final action. Fessler's statement, to the county commissioners that "the only object (to annexation) was Mayor Arthur Johnston who was responsible for the thoroly bad situation in Miles Heights," is not true, and everybody knows it. It would be simply impossible for the mayor to be the "only objecter". Further more, the condition in Miles Heights bad as it may be, and we do not concede that the "situation" out there is "bad", is not and cannot be one half as bad as that in "the roaring third" of the city of Cleveland t THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 4. 1931.

DON'T THOSE PAPERS MAKE YOU TIRED? OH, NO, I DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM American New Features, Inc. which Mayo Fessler and his Miles Heights supporters would attach that section of Cuyahoga county's "moral or immoral vineyard." If our county commissioners wish to know how the great mass of the sixty thousand Afro-Americans in this city and county feel about the Miles Heights village annexation controversy, we are perfectly free to inform them that they are standing squarely behind Mayor Arthur Johnston and are unalterably opposed to Mayo Fessler, the active director of the Citizen's league who for years was careful to exhibit his racial prejudice and antipathy to our people in almost every bulletin he issued for that organization. He has always shown himself to be opposed to men and women of color as candidates for elective public positions, to say the least. And that is the basis of his opposition to Mayor Johnston, as evidenced in his leadership of the movement to annex Miles Heights village to the city of Cleveland. Fessler is and always has been, as far as we have been able to see and learn, in full sympathy with at least one of the Ku Klux Klan's several tenets, and that one opposes "Negroes" holding public positions, particularly elective. PRIME SPORT NEWS Fought to a Draw Fought to a Draw. San Francisco, Cal. Meyer Grace (white) of Chicago and Basket Dozier, wetterweight of Wichita, fought a ten-round draw here, last week Friday night. "Slaughterers" Class A Champs. A The Slaughter Bros., basket-ball team, won the class A championship of the Municipal league, Monday night, when they defeated the Penns- vania R.

The team left, last week Friday night, for Chicago to participate in the national tournament. Jones vs. Pirrone. "Plaster 'Em" Paul Pirrone (white) of this city, walterweight, and "Gorilla" Jones, Akron dynamiter, have been signed to collide in the ten-round semi-final to the Tommy Freeman-Young Jack Thompson titular battle in Public Hall, April 14. "Gorilla" will "plaster" him. Dempsey vs. Wills. Chicago, Ill.—After winning a dismissal, last week Friday, of the $500,000 damage suit for alleged breach of contract to fight Harry Wills, challenger, five years ago, Jack Dempsey promised to meet the plaintiff's attorney to pledge the original offer and put up the money. During a heated court argument Dempsey stood up and told the plaintiff's attorneys and Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, that he would fight Wills if the Collisum Co. would pay him $1,000,000, the original terms of the contract. B. E. Clements, president of the Collisum Co. and said he would guarantee Dempsey that amount to fight Wills and "lay $1,000,000 on the line." McVey-Kelly 20-Round Fight. Barberton, O.—Jack McVey New York middleweight, will meet K. O. Kelly (white) of Akron, in 20-round feature bout here, April 10. This is to be the first match of such length in Summit county since Ted Lewis, then welterweight champ, beat Johnny Griffis of Akron. In 1927, McVey and Kelly met and the New Yorker won the verdict.

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: The General Code or Ohio: 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 nationality, the amount of accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finited 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 the penalty for the amount of than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it 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.

"The best dressed American women," said he, "are the best dressed." What he hinted was that the American woman who took the trouble to be well dressed, was better dressed than the women of any other country. It was a graceful compliment, but I imagine that it contains more truth than humor. In the matter of the spring and summer suit we Americans, have the Parisian "trotteur" theme.

Among other things he said: "That the race is the victim of a racial inheritance which makes it inferior to the white race is a widespread dogma. But it should be noted that racial differences are differences of degree and not of race. In our white civilization is superior to what we would produce under similar geographic and cultural contacts. What the Afro-American would produce might be quite different, but who is qualified to say it would be inferior?" The local branch of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History met, last week Friday evening, at the P. W. A. The attendance was good, but Dr. Carter G.

C., and as a solist. A number of his best pupils and students, tra a man making splendid showing, are in concert work at the nation's capital and elsewhere. Recently Loula was featured in a reception at Washington, playing three solos for the new Haitian minister to this country, who had served his country in a similar capacity in France, had addressed the commission on mandates of the League of Nations at the Hague in Holland and had been invited to attend an orchestral concert by France and several other foreign countries; a very distinguished personage. The Haitian minister, Mons. Dantes Bellgarde, has a son, an agricultural student at O. S. U., Columbus. In his address, at the reception, he flatly denied the American Associated Press's repeated statement, in recent years, to the effect that the Haitian government did not want an anti-Asian minister to Haiti. That lie was thorolly circulated through this country by the "American Occupation", U. S. Naval (Marine) domination of Haiti.

At a speed of ninety miles an hour the reception is perfect. BEST CHOICE OF TIRES FOR CAR Essential to Right Service That Correct Size The application, care and usage of tires are necessary things to consider, but it is essential to the best service that the correct size and type of tire be adopted in the first place. Car construction, power, lateral and traction strains upon the tires must be kept in mind when determining the diameter and cross section of the tire equipment, but the weight of the tire is probably the most important factor. This can be found almost anywhere by running the front half of the car on platform scales, and noting the result. The weight carried on each tire will be one-half the total. This operation can be performed in the case of the rear wheels, and the same thing holds true. The middle of the wheelbase will be the weight-dividing point between the front and the rear halves of the car. The approach to the scales should be level. If reasonable care is exercised the total of the two operations, that is, the recorded weight of the front and rear parts of the machine, should be within 20 or 30 pounds of the weight of the car, when all of it is upon the scales. Weight Distribution. The weight distribution of the car, power, speed, gear and other points are considered by the car engineers and car makers in determining the tire sizes necessary for equipment. It will be apprehended, however, that the treatment demanded by cars will vary on account of road conditions, drivers, and other reasons. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect some trouble from the tires on a small percentage of cars, though the equipment on the majority will prove satisfactory in every respect. When tires are loaded beyond their normal carrying capacity, the fabric is more or less strained. Besides, "hinging" action is developed and heat is generated at the edges of the tread. Over-size tires were primarily designed for exceptional and hard service, but have come into more general favor because of extra strength, easier riding, and longer mileage. The resiliency of larger tires reduces the traction slippage on the rear wheels, and lessens vibration to the mechanism of the car. When over-size tires are placed on front wheels which were originally equipped with regular size tires, the diameter over all will be increased about one inch, and the speedometer should be readjusted, otherwise the mileage recorded will be less than that actually covered. Nor can any hard be derived from the adoption of the proper over-size tires. There is not enough added weight to offset transmission or differential or make any objectionable difference in the power. London Pedestrians in Big Safety Association A Pedestrian association, recently formed in London, has a growing membership now in excess of 3,000. The organization, according to members, is not, anti-motorist, its purpose being rather to reduce as far as possible motor risks to pedestrians by sponsoring bills for speed limits and driving tests. Traffic in London, as in other parts of England, is further congested by cyclists, of which there are said to be now 10,000,000 in England. Motorcycles with side cars are commonly used in London for delivery services. It's Worth Practicing Modern cars not only are harder to shift silently and easily when going "up" through the gears, but also when going "down." A little practice when the car is new will make one proficient and avert that embarrassing, not to say dangerous, situation of stalling on a bill. "Liquid" Clutch Device A new clutch for motor cars, known as the "liquid flywheel," has been tested by English auto makers. With the new devic, the clutch is always engaged, but does not become effective until the engine is turning 600 revolutions a minute. At this speed the clutch gradually takes hold and the car moves off without necessity for gear changing. The only time gear changing is necessary is in starting up an unusually steep incline. Engagement of the clutch is effected by depressing the accelerator. The secret is said to be in a combined flywheel and clutch, known as the "liquid flywheel." This consists of two parts, a flywheel or a driving member, and a cylindrical casing filled with glycerin or oil. Born members are shaped alike, mouth to mouth, and each cup is divided into cells. When the flywheel is rotated by the engine the oil is forced against the cells of the driven member. At low speeds no torque is transmitted to the driven member—in other words, the clutch slips and the car does not move. As the engine speed rises, power is transmitted more and more completely, until at ordinary road speeds there is, it is claimed, only one per cent slip or loss of power. Pull Grease Retainers From Axles With Hook Many garagemen will find the illustrated tool for pulling inner grease retainers out or read axle housings a time and labor saver. It consists of a book pivoted at the end of a 1 by 1¼ inch flat-iron bar, 13½ inches long. The hook can be made from the end of a model-T brake rod.

The center of the hook pivot should be $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches from the end of the bar, while the hook itself should extend 2 inches beyond the edge of the bar—John A. Blaker, West Auburn, Mass., in Popular Science Monthly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AUTOMOBILE HINTS --- More than 33,000 motor vehicles are used by the federal government in its various activities. Total bridges on the federal aid highway system approximate more than 300 miles in length. Just as a motorist was about to report the theft of his midget car, a bystander in a camel's-hair coat stepped aside and there it was. Even the report of 32,500 automobile deaths last year is unlikely to have any effect on the fellow who can't be convinced that a red light means anything. The cost of owning an automobile can be kept to a minimum figure by first making a careful selection of either a new or used car of standard design and then giving it the care necessary to keep it in condition. The older type coils could be damaged by a careless tester removing a wire from the spark plug and allowing the spark to jump its limit. The manufacturers of present-day coils safeguard the car owner by providing a safety device in the coil, making damage from this source practically impossible. THE FASHION WEEK JOEL FEDER PHOTO THERE must be at least one plaid dress in the fashionable spring wardrobe, not forgetting a plaid blouse, together with a whole collection of accessories which must include a scarf or two—other one of the new big squares or the popular ascot which ties so smartly close up about the throat. A "sports" matching plaid hat is also a chic gesture to which add a pocketbook of the plaid for the ensemble which is complete in every detail. In the new fabric collections there is a plaid for every mood. The plaid in the picture is very choice, having been designed by one of a group of artists who have turned their attention away from painting landscapes and portraits for a brief moment, in the interest of fabric design. Note the artistic touch in this particular plaid which is printed in a single bright color on a dark background—not a crude straight line in it, the motif resolving itself into a series of undulating curves which are the very quintessence of grace. This patterning tends to introduce a simpler effect in plaids, so that even the most conservative can wear them with confidence. This plaid is particularly smart in navy and white, such as has been FOX-TRIMMED ADJ DISTINGUISH SM JOEL FEDER PHOTO GOING to decide upon a furred or an unfurred coat? Choose either and fashion will lend a smile of enthusiastic approval. Throughout the new showings it is rather a fifty-fifty proposition as to fur or no fur. Assuming that the decision is in favor of the fur-trim, there is still another question to be settled—shall it be chic, flat fur or luxurious gray, or beige fox? Again, fashion is willing, be the verdict what it may. There is no doubt about it, this matter of choosing furs is a perplexing one. The flat petts such as galyak, dyed lapin,ermine and types of like character are worked on the new coats with such intriguing dressmaker touches one scarce can resist them. Then, again, when one comes into contact with such stunning models as the coat illustrated—maybe it would be a good idea to toss pennies or draw straws or so something like that as a happy solution to the problem. A point greatly in favor of the coat pictured which is of beige cloth with beige fox, next to its handsome appearance is its practical and at the Your Copy or an Acqu SATURDAY. APRIL 4. 1931. IN A SINGLE ARK BACKGROUNDS UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD used for the styling of the tunic frock pictured. The flair for navy and white is very insistent this spring. It has a rival, however, in brown and white, a contrast which is being made much of throughout the couture showings of Paris at present. An interesting development is the twin effects, that is, a plaid worked out in light on a dark ground is used with a plaid which reverses the order of colors. Dresses which have their yokes or top portions made of plaids on a light background, the lower portion being of the darker tone patterning, answer to the call of smart fashion. CHERIE NICHOLAS. JUSTABLE COLLARS MART CLOTH COATS same time flattering adjustable collar. Most of the long-haired furs are manipulated as you see here, that is, they are positioned so as to set out about the shoulders, away from the head and the throat, thus insuring their comfort. Note also that the designer has succeeded in incorporating the new and extremely smart idea of big square lapels. The adjustable part of this collar is that at will it can be drawn up close about the throat, closing at the front so as to give an entirely different appearance. The self-fabric belt and the wide cuffs are also important styling features. With this arresting spring coat mélody of fashion wears a natural panama hat trimmed with brown ribbon, her brown kid shoes also accenting the chic of brown. Speaking of color, a most outstanding style message is that in regard to the enthusiasm expressed for gray this spring. The gray coat with gray for is smartly in vogue together with the frock of light gray crepe. CHERIE NICHOLAS (© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) copy of The uaintance wh ROSENWALD SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS HERE IN THE NORTH. Ignorant Ministers. (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 find hospitals and schools of much 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, and we must cover the crime, race discrimination. Many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these O. 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 physician, Dr. Peter F. Ghee, 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 of Dentistry. By stability, stodiousness and a good sense, he has worked himself up to the leading places 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-ground incompetency, selfishness and cruelty. Our 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- Billion Ch are credited every ye of that inimitable sty ings whose character fused with those of an RUBE Billions of Chuckles are credited every year to the inventor of that inimitable style of comic drawings whose characters are never confused with those of any artist other than RUBE GOLDBERG MILK CO.

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.

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.
