BLOSSOM Sunday afternoon, in regard to prejudice and discrimination in his de- velopment, Blossom gave Blossom side-stepped a number of questions and said he would like to see the department run without politics, altho he admitted that the City Council had been very liberal in its treatment of it, in the way of providing funds. J. E. Hubbard, chairman, seemed to be very much afraid that questions asked the "color-line" director would wound his feelings, and as a result a number of interesting questions relative to the conduct of the welfare department were cast down. Blossom was close of the meeting, the pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, Rev.

All northern Ohio is going to hear golden-voiced Rosa Ponselle when she sings her greatest role as the Druid priestess in "Norma" next week. The opera, to be given under the direction of Tullio Serafin, dean of the Metropolitan Opera Company's conductors, on Friday evening, May 11 at 7:30 p.m. the week. The opera was heard last summer in London with great suc- LUCERDA ROQI LUCREZIA BORI cess. With Ponselle will be heard Armand Tokatyan, the celebrated Armenian tenor and Marion Telva, young American soprano who has recently married and is making her farewell operatic appearance in Cleveland. To Ponselle also goes young opera, opening the great week of opera, when she has new role as "Violetta" in "La Trajata" on Monday evening. Great-voiced Giacomo Lauri-Volpi and popular Lawrence Tibbett will also be in this opera. Lucretia Bori, favorite of thousands, will be heard on next Saturday afternoon in the new American opera, singing in English with a cast that includes Edward Johnson, Lawrence Tibbett, Marion Telva and some twenty other stars. Lily Pons, the great French soprano, will sing in "Rigoletto" on Friday afternoon and in "Lucia di Lammermoor" on Saturday night and with her will be Gladys Swarthout, Beniamino Gigli, the great tenor; Leon Rothler, and Danise. This little French girl is the sensation of the season on Broadway. This season will be the first time in three years that the great Clever land favorite, Rosa Ponselle, has sung during the week-end of "opera week," thereby allowing out-of-town visitors to hear her during the last two days in which they can hear four operas. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The last five years' economic depression has caused the "Afro" population of Paris, France, to dwindle from several hundred to less than forty. Loew's Clinton Court Corporation of N. Y. City has ordered its Rochester, N. Y. theater to discontinue all discrimination against Afro-Americans. It cost President Hoover $8,000 to broadcast his speech to Tuskegee N. & I. Institute, last week. It is also announced that he "intended" to visit the school but "work prevented" his doing so. Prof. George William Cook, former dean of the commercial college of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has announced his resignation as alumni secretary, the far in the lead in the nomination-polling for the position. Two Afro-Americans, George Pratt of New York and Robert Turner of Chicago, are members of a delegation that sailed, April 15, for Soviet Russia. The delegation consists of 27 American workers, farmers and professionals. "The Three Musketeers" of our Elks, J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R.; Atty. Wm. C. Hueston, commissioner of education, and Perry W. Howard, legal advisor, have fallen out over the Howard University presidency controversy. Threats of No Avail.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "MESSES IN" STATE EFFORT TO ENACT A LAW TO "CREATE A MIGRANT WELFARE AND EMPLOYMENT BUREAU" FOR OUR PEOPLE. The Hargrave Bill Backed by New Jersey's Governor, U. S. Senators and Our People of That State— Passed by the N. J. House and Expected to Pass the N. J. Senate, This Week. (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J. — The committee on social welfare of the State Senate is considering the Hargrave bill to hire a migrant welfare and employment agency and defining its powers and duties. The bureau to consist of three commissioners, to be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Sefate, for terms of five years each and until their successors shall have been appointed and shall qualify. The executive officer, who is to be selected by the commission, is chief of the bureau on a salary of $1,000 per hour, secretary and treasurer of the commission are to be paid salary of $2500. The sum of $50,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary when included in any appropriation bill, is provided for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this bill as a law. The bill is sponsored by the manager of the Lincoln House and our Federation of theizations of this state. The Federation is the only organized welfare center in New Jersey devoted exclusively to our work. The Federation is one of the oldest and most organized organizations among our men of the state. It is non-partisan and non-political. The preparation of the materials from which this bill was drawn, came exclusively under Rev. Wm. A. Byrd, a conference with the Lincoln House. At a conference with Larson, Senators Baird and Kemin, last October, it was decided to embody the fare program in a bill and have the incoming Legislature to consider and pass it. The bill was introduced by Dr. Hargrave, a most efficient and worthy representative of all that is worthwhile in the present Legislature. There seems to have been a vling with each other in the draft of the two political parties in the assembly to vote for it. It is reported that both candidates for governor and gubernatorial and Democratic approved it. On or about the first of April, the N. A. A. C. P., Fifth Ave. N. Y. City, is reported to have come over to New Jersey and informed the Democratic leaders that it. The N. A. C. P., would oppose Senator David David, Republican, now running for governor of New Jersey, because he voted to confirm Judge Parker of North Carolina as one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court and that it, the N. A. A. C. P., had decided to support A. Harry Moore, the Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey. As reported by colored Democrats of Hudson County, a conference was called and those Democratic legislators who heretofore had been in favor of the bill to aid our people, were told that they must oppose it, as the N. A. A. C. P. was supporting the Democratic candidate for governor, and the enacting of this into law would aid Senator David Bauer and give him an advantage over the Democratic candidate. On April 6 when the bill came up for passage in the Legislature their program was carried out but the bill was passed by the Assembly by a vote of 36 to 16. It is expected to pass the Senate, this week. The issue is clearly drawn. The N. A. A. C. P., an organization well-liked by our people, when it stays in the field of uplift and defensive work for our people, cannot come over into New Jersey and dictate the policy of voting in local matters. Neither can it come into New Jersey and ask a bill for Legislature to refuse to pass a bill that the Governor sponsors and the leaders of our people all over the state approve, without being bumped. Here the N. A. A. C. P. desired to be impartial in this matter, it could have gotten in touch with those sponsoring the bill, discussed it and understood the attitude of those sponsoring it. And if there still existed a divergence of opinion, it could have been dealt with, leaving a good taste in the mouths of every person. This it refused to do. The fight is on: the New N. A. A. C. P. has the right to be in a legitimate way any person it feels is unworthy of a national office but it has no right as a national organ THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Ninety percent of our voters of New Jersey are Republicans and the rank and file of these voters are not going to desert their party and its candidate because the N. A. A. C. P. dislikes him. Then, too, the N. A. A. C. P. thereupon becomes an organization opposed to the advancement of our people in New Jersey and to that extent deserves defeat. Here we will judge their candidates running for local offices by their record as just or unjust toward them. The political conditions in North Carolina cannot be Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. managed by our voters of New Jersey. The problems of state and local governments in the various states must be met by the men of those states, as they see and know it. It should be understood by our people, we are here for all groups, we should be the last to seek reprisals. If we succeeded in defeating any one we feel unfriendly towards us, this defeat must not be used to rub it in so as to create a nationwide hostility towards us. The writer opposed the confirmation of Judge Parker on hear-say evil and stood squarely behind the N. P. candidate in the unions in their fight but we are unwilling to wipe out of existence every man that voted contrary to our opinion. We are unwilling to ask our people to oppose men they have known for years and whose interests and square-dealing toward have been unquestioned, because in a court they exercised their best judgment. Then, too, when the N. A. A. C. P. attempts to lead Republican Negroes into the camp of the Democratic party, it will ingloriously fail. It would interest us if the Association would go into the southern states and array white and black voters against the men that voted for the governor of Judge Parker. To be considered judge must do it, or be classed as primarily opponents of the Republican party. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. DEMOCRATS 'KID' REPUBLICANS' Over the Stephens Civil Rights Bill Lost by One Vote. New York City.-By a final vote of 75 to 76 the civil rights bill introduced by our Assemblyman, J. E. Stephens, prohibiting public utility companies from discriminating against our people in hiring their personnel, was lost in the State Legislature, week before last. A last minute rally of Republican members, held cliding by Democrats for not exhibiting much vaulted loyalty to the Afro-American, failed to put the measure over. When the Republicans saw their mistakes and the political effect it night would back home, they sought to have Assemblyman Stephens (Dem.) ask for another slow roll call, but he refused, taking into consideration that with adjournment near there would be little chance of getting the bill through the Senate. There were 66 Democrats in the first roll call and the entire 66 voted to the measure. There were 63 Republicans present with eight only voting for the measure. --- (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Every loyal member of the race must agree with the Kansas City (Mo.) Call in its stand against President Hoover's selection of his secretary of war, Patrick Hurley of Oklahoma, as the successor to U. S. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio as his leader and chairman of the Republican National committee. If Hurley is responsible, which he is, for the miserable insult to ALL of our people, for the "jim-crowing" of our Gold Star mothers, en route to and from France, last summer, then the President, his chief, must be held equally if not more responsible for the same. There can be no difference of opinion as to this, upon the part of loyal, self and race-respecting Afro-Americans. The leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of our People is still evidencing its inability to understand thoroly political conditions of prime interest to our people in the various states, particularly here in the North. Its attempt to interfere in our people's politics in the state of New Jersey is much like its misdirected efforts here in this state, last fall, and it is some satisfaction to note the fact that our people of New Jersey are successfully resembling the same just as those of our people did here in Ohio, last fall. It is high time that the N. A. A. C. P.'s leadership learns or that it be replaced by those able to do so. It is now clear that if it had its way, with its Democratic and Socialistic leaning, our people of the northern states at least would not have any friends among the leaders of the Republican party in those states. THE HOOVER CANDIDACY. "Col." Benjamin Jefferson Davis, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent and former member of the Republican National committee from that state, who has been in the city for about ten days, left, Thursday, for Cincinnati. The "Colonel" is touring the country in the interest of the projected Hoover candidacy for renomination, next year. What surprises us is that anyone would think it necessary to "sound out" Afro-Americanians on that subject at this time. "Col." Davis is in hearty accord, so he says, with that great mass of northern Afro-American Republicans who object to the leadership of several voteless wonders of color, at the nation's capital, who are again endeavoring to foist themselves upon our people thru the medium of an alleged national "Negro" Republican league. While on a visit to The Gazette office, last week Saturday, Editor Davis said that President John R. Hawkins, Vice-President Emmett J. Scott and other officers of the "league" have never cast a vote in their lives unless Mr. Hawkins did so, many years ago, when a resident of Maryland. Therefore, the "voteless wonders"! We notice that some of our contemporaries are announcing that "Col." Davis and Perry W. Howard, Republican national committee man for Mississippi, our only member of that august body, have "kissed and made up." They might have said that Ben, Perry and the Hoover leaders at the nation's capital have "kissed and made up" and covered more political ground. This last would have been far more illuminating, too. "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS." Councilman Clayborne George's candidacy for re-election, this fall, was indorsed, last week Thursday night, it is said, by about 200 members of the East End Political club of which he is president. A drive to raise scholarship-money for deserving students was also launched at the meeting which was held in Temple Baptist church. When George became "Blossom Triplet," that settled it! His club's endorsement doesn't mean a thing. This is true in the cases of the other two triplets—Payne and Bundy, Watch and see! Two years ago, our people of the third district were a unit in their support of all three councilmen. Since then, this support, even that in their own wards, has gone all to pieces. In George's ward a number of his most active supporters, two years ago, are not only bitterly opposed to his re-election but some of them have even joined the 18th Ward Democratic club. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Whiting, particularly the latter, and Mrs. Iola Wimbs Ellis, among his most active supporters, two years ago, are now leading members of the 18th Ward Democratic club. Payne and Bundy's supporters are just as badly split on those two "Triplets," altho a Democratic club has not yet been organized in either the 11th or 17th wards. But organization against them has been and is being effected. The statement that they are heralding to the effect that they have the endorsement of the Republican organization is notoriously untrue for the very good reason that the organization does not endorse any candidates this early. BLOSSOM AND WALKER Night after night, from the platforms in halls and churches of the third and fourth councilmanic districts, Rev. Horace C. Bailley repeated what Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom said to him at the City, Hail when he and his motherless granddaughter, a Miss Patrick, called upon him to make application for the entrance of the granddaughter to the nurse-training school at City Hospital. Dr. Bailey said that Blossom told him that no "Negro" boy or girl would be admitted to train in City Hospital as long as he was welfare director, and accorded him treatment otherwise that greatly wounded his feelings, so he told the editor in The Gazette office on more than one occasion. Nearly all of our people in this community know the foregoing and have known it for two years or more. Still, in the face of this, Rev. Ormond乳师, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, invited this same乳师, Blossom, to address the forum of that church, Sunday afternoon, April 19, 1931, and had the temerity at the conclusion of Blossom's talk to undertake to make a defense for him which will be found elsewhere in this paper. Lord, have mercy! Is it any wonder that so many people of other classes, or groups have so little respect for our people? Is there any insult (to the race) sufficiently great and aggravating to make some of our so-called intelligent ministers and laymen resent it? It took Councilman F. W. Walz's resolution, the first of last year, to compel Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom to open City Hospital for the training of our boys and girls. We have managed to get the girls into the institution but as yet have not been able to do the same thing for our boys, internes. And Walker and others of his "kidney" invite Blossom to address St. James Forum and otherwise endeavor to make a defense for him that is a miserable insult to our people of this community, to say the least. Again, we say, Lord, have mercy! PRIME SPORT NEWS. Cruze Kayes Mello.

San Francisco, Cal.-Talk of a championship match between Champion Young Jack Thompson, holder of the weiterweight title, and Young Corbett, Fresno, Cal., at Reno, this summer, is going the rounds in sporting circles. It is understood that a number of prominent Reno citizens are interested. Ray's "Smoke Screen." Ray Alvis, manager of Young Jack Thompson, of Chicago and California, who last week took back the wetterweight 'championship' from Tommy Freeman, (white) is authority for the statement he will never allow Thompson to mingle with Freeman again. Not that he has any misgivings as to the outcome, for he knows Thompson can whip Freeman seven nights a week and twice on Sunday if necessary. "It's a case of where Thompson and Freeman just don't seem to hit it off properly and give the crowd what they pay their money for," Alvis said. "I was very much disappointed in the way anybody and anybody could have bought Thompson's contract for a song; in fact I believe I would have paid money to have anyone take him off my hands. ('Hot air'!) It was a rotten fight and even though Thompson regained his title, I couldn't enthuse over his showing. Jack is the classiest boxer in the ring, the most scientific boxer in the world, his day but he sure looked as if he had been shot at and hit that night—not by Freeman's guns, for he just couldn't seem to untrack himself." Alvis made it emphatic he would never give anybody a chance to send up a calamity howl that Thompson and Freeman were putting on an attack on war to "to war" again with Arkansas and Cleveland Tommy. Ray pointed out that the fight was sorely lacking in thrills and closed by saying that had Tommy and Jack only drawn an $11,000 house it would have been a couple of thousand too much for $607.50 turnout on the face of what they put on display. Hokum! A fine "smoke screen." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 25. 1931 METROPOLITAN WHAT'S DOING! Police are still searching, and will be for some time to come we fear, for two gunmen who robbed Dr. Jas, Owen of $135, last week Wednesday night after binding and gagging the physician in his office at 2168 a 74th St. Owen told police that he was the only in his office until all his patients died and when he took them into an inner office, they produced revolvers and robbed him. His statement, at the recent 18th ward Democratic club banquet, to the effect that the Democrats at any time in his career forced the editor of The Gazette a job, the police said, that the Democrats is absolutely untruce, so he informs The Rounder.

Walter Wills, Sr., president of the Empire Savings & Loan Co., discussed very interestingly, Sunday evening, at the Seventh Day Adventist church, E. 71st St. and Cedar Ave., the subject: "Will Afro-American Business Be Able to Withstand Present-Day Competition?" There was a large attendance. Mr. Wills says the editor of The Gazette was among those who contributed to the success of his address by sending the following letter at his request: Cleveland, April 17, '31. J. Walter Wills, Sr., 2316 E. 55th St., City. Dear Sir:—In response to your question: "Will Afro-American business be able to withstand present-day competition?" I wish to say that it is dependent, almost wholly, upon the following: First, and more important is thorough preparation upon the part of those who are to have charge of our business. Second, they must also be intelligent, HONEST and aggressively energetic. The importance of these two major qualifications is being recognized more generally now than ever before throut the country by our thotful people, and in that fact rests my belief that we should withstand the competition of today and that of the future. Sincerely, Yours for the race, Harry C. Smith. Others who contributed, likewise, were: Ex-Senator John P. Green, Hon. Harry E. Davis, Norman L. McGhee, Wm. R. Conners, Clemence E. Green and J. E. Hubbard. Every letter was ophthalmic and showed that our business will be able to stand day-demotion competition if those in charge take advantage of vocational training, and are able to and do manage their businesses in a proper way.

Chicago, Ill.—"If Patrick Hurley of Oklahoma, secretary of war, is made chairman of the Republican National committee, Herbert Hoover will lose many a vote in the 1932 election," is the editorial warning in the Kansas City Call, recently. At the feet of Hurley, the Call lays response for, the building treatment accorded our Gold Star mothers, last summer, and it believes that for President Hoover, who shared in the discrimination against the mothers of our soldiers who died in France, to appoint Hurley to the leadership of the Republican party would be "the same as championing his acts and actions. What Judge Jake was to Hoover in the Senate, Hurley will be to him at the polls," the Call editorial concludes. "Diva's" Hubby Tries Suicide.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-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 upheld 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. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. 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 safetykeeping 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, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 191 8. 4) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 191 4. 4) Section 6231. A person assaulted and killed from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 191 8. 4) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damnable, may recover of the county sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recov- 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, 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 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next 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 person involved by a mob or seriously involved by a mob from 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.) The ROUNDER 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: BIS. d. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. best member of mob best another county. 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 in which the mob came, unless there was an exigency on the part of officials of such 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 enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of 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 color, the full enjoyment of the occupancy, advantages, facilities or privileges will be fined not less than fifty dollars, more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they want, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. "They All Do It." Bishop Carey was indicted in Chicago on charges of graft. The official newspaper of his own church printed articles accusing him of purchasing his assignment to the Chicago area, of misuse of funds and of a too close connection with liquor. Chicago newspapers that knew this, eulogized him upon his death as a "first citizen," "a great statesman," "one of God's noblemen." Strange that any newspaper which in turn to come serves as the source of history should prostitute itself, disregard the facts, and print a lot of senseless drivel about a man whose chief virtue was that he is dead—Baltimore Afro-American. Killed Self and Wife. Houston, Tex.—"Sonny" Reed, age 31, a porter, killed his wife and wounded three other persons (white) in a fashionable residence section, here Sunday night. Those wounded were: Atty, David Harris, age 35; Mrs. Geo, Leech, age 46, who was hostess at a card party, and Miss Janet Arendale, her nurse. Their condition is still critical. 4th Set of Twins in 6 Years Washington, D. C.—Twins were born at Freedmen's hospital, April 11, the fourth pair to this mother in six years.

TOURIST HOMES GIVEN APPROVAL (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture )“-WNU service ‘The accommodation of tourk ts has developed everywhere into an industry especially popular with farm families on important highways, and agricul tural extension agents have long urged the rural people in their counties to maintain high standards of sanitation and food if thes wish,to attract the tourist trade, says the United States Deparment of Agriculture. But the West. Virginia extension service has gone even a step further, by offering to supervise “Tourist Homes” of high ‘quality and give the owner permission to use a distinctive sign that shows what may be expected by the visitors. Home Regulations. : Clean, comfortable, well-ventilated rooms, good beds and springs, .soft mattresses, clean sheets, and light, fluffy blankets are required to meet the standard set of the supervised home, as well as good food, such as fried chicken, home-cured ham, pure milk and cream, fresh eggs, home- grown fruits and vegetables, and other Products fregh from the farm. Rea- ‘sonable rates, uniform among all su- Pervised homes, cordial hospitality, and consideration on the part of the hosts are also insisted upon. ‘Truly these are all items which the tourist has been led to believe he would find in country places, but which, alas, have frequently not materialized. Wild Blackberry Jam. In most of the eight homes in differ- ent parts of West Virginia already per- mitted to display the special extension service sign one will find for sale the famous wild blackberry jam made from local native fruit, and other garden, dairy, and poultry products that help increase the farm housewife’s cash in- come. Thus, one industry helps an- other, and the extension service helps Doth.

One trouble about going out to see the beauties of mature Is that when you return all you've seen Is the back end of the car ahead of you. ‘The windshield of a car left parked for hours on any busy street becomes covered with dust. Wiping the wind. shield once a day is regarded as @ ne- cessity by careful car owners. Careful car owners place thelr tires im best condition on the front wheels, for the reason that a blowout of a front tire is more likely to cause an accident than the blowing out of a rear tire. Although the automobile gain of 300,158 in 1980 was the lowest in many years, we need not worry. With 26. 061,506 machines registered, we still have enough to give us all a seat, with a Ilttle crowding. Although they do stick sometimes. the battery vent caps never should be moved with any metal tool. ‘They break very easily.

Making Better Mileage on Gallon of Gasoline It Is not Just the engine that causes fone car to make better mileage on a zallon of gasoline than another of the sanie manufacture. ‘ Sometimes, infact often, we may find faults in the body and chassis of the car that retard the efficiency of the motor. ‘The moving parts e pecially may be at fault. The wheels, for instance, are almost f neglected, but highly important fae. tor in maintaining the efficiency of the motor, Neglect of these parts may cause considerable loss in power. Loose bearings at the hubs, eausing the wheels to wobble, take. much of the power from the engine. ‘To pre- vent this, the wheels should be Kept fight and well greased. ‘The grease should he changed every thousand miles, and the nuts on the wheels tightened at the same time. Misalignment of front wheels is an- other costly fault and reveals itselt Jn less mileage for the fuel. ‘They should be checked up constantly. Automobile Will Hoist Itself From Deep Ditch ‘Many cars ean be made to act as a power windlass te pull themselves out ‘of mud or from a deep ditch, All that is necessary Is 40 or 50 feet of rope, and hub caps long enough to serve as the drum of the windlass.

When the var is started in low gear, the rope will wind on the hubs, and the car will creep slowly but surely In the direc- tion of the bight of the rope. When the hubs are full of rope, the car must be locked with the hand brake and the wheels blocked to prevent slipping back, A new, “bite” can then be taken with the rope, and the proc- ess repeated until the car is on solid or level ground, The average hub cap will hold from 1 to 2 fect of % inch rope.—N.

NEWSPAPER j Watch For Them! (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Mr, Rosenwald has done much good for our people in the South where it is impossible for them to get a square deal, His hospitals and schools are 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 sep- arate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built to cover the crime, race discrimins- tion, Many of out physicians com- ing North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these Separate hospitals. ‘There is no need for them here and these physicians should know that they are just as un- acceptable as thelr “race hospital ideas” are. In Jersey City, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the fines: and best equipped hospitals in this country. In these hospitals no diserimination is shown. Dr. Euclid Ghee, son of the well known physician, Dr. Peter F. Ghee, has been appoinied on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hos- pital. Young Dr. Ghee is a gradu- ate ot Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University Col- lege department. By his ability, stu- diousness and 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 educa: tion, 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. thelr 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 incompetencs, selfish- ness and graft, Our physicians can be _as_well equipped as any other physician, it tney' would only take time and money and prepare themselves. ‘There are many of our men yelling for “race hospitals,” ‘‘jim-crow Y's", ete., be- cause they are not prepared to ply their trade or enter “Y's” among men of standing and first-class qual- ifications, The day of “race accom- modations," to cover over race un- preparedness 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 i ‘a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud. mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice fas their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have beer educated, are following the same Joud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient habits of our people, simply to get money out of them. Avery little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplitt 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 Face-churehes, like what physicians call “race hospitals,” are doing more injury to religion than help. “Negro” ministers and physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of al other races. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. “THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS." A local correspondent of a Chi cago race-paper refers to Council- man Leroy Bundy as “a very Im: ‘portant factor on the City Council's ‘public utilities committee” and adds ‘that “his splendid counsel was ‘greatly missed” while he was Ill in {Git Hospitals Ths te ome big Joke! The correspondent also. wrote. that the “triumvirate? Blossom Prip- ets’), composed of Councilmen Clayborne George, Lawrence Payne i « | 2 = 3 A) 4 m ‘Aiatisin: re q - been of very little, if any, practical service to their ‘constituents and our people of this community. Payne secured a job, his best one, for a resident of George's ward and dis- trict. Bundy has been a member of the city council's transportation committee, all last year and thus far this year. While the service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. Ines, the’ ones most used by their constituents, has been steadily grow- ing worse, there has never been a “whimper” from him and his two “Negro” colleagues. Their mem- bership on other council committees ‘hasn't “meant a thing” to our peo- ple, either. If they have ever been of ‘any consequence to them, as members of the Cleveland city coun- cil, we have not been able to notice it because there is just as much dis- crimination against our people in all of the city departments now as ‘there was when they were inducted Into office, the first of last year. Scores of our young men and wo- men, who have won positions as the result of civil service examina- tions and have been turned down, last and this year, for no other rea- son than because’ of thelr color or race-connection, complain of their inability to get proper action from the “triumvirate” or “Blossom Triplets.” And there are plenty of other good causes of compliant, but Uye major one is the utter failure of George, Payne and Bundy to do their clear duty in an effort to re move some, if not all, of the very harmful discrimination referred to. Add to this and to many other bona- fide complaints against them the breaking of their pledge, made time and again during the progress of the campaign, of a year ago last fall, to do ail in their power to help oust the color-line director of wel- fare, Dudley S. Blossom, apd it will not take anyone long to fully real- ize what is going to happen to tho “triumvirate” or “Blossom — Trip- lets” this fall. If ever a people were sadly disappointed in_ their elective representatives in any body, we have all been most grievously disappointed in the really ridiculous and harmful representation in Cleveland's city council afforded us by “The Blossom Triplets.” _ Be- cause of the unemployment. situa- tion it is going to be mighty hard indeed to elect good Republican candidates to the city council, this fall. So one will not need a’ tele- scope or a microscope to read the “handwriting on the wall” for Payne, George and Bundy, it they have the temerity to stand as candi- dates for re-election. And it will pay that local correspondent of the Chicago race-publication to awaken to the fact that he is harming his embryonic political career by in- dulging in such politieal rot as that quoted in the opening lines of this article. It is too thin, too ridicu- lous, too untrue, and about every- ihidy knows. it: ‘THE BALANCE OF POWER. The resolution, in Monday night's city council meeting, authorizing the discontinuance of the Carnegie- Prospect end of the Clifton-Carne- gie bus line, was delayed as the re- sult of a 12 to 12 tie vote, “the 25th member of the council, Councilman Clayborne George, being absent.” We call attention to this particu- larly because it frequently happens that one or all of “The Blossom Triplets” are the balance of power in the city council. This power could have been invoked, scores of times since they entered the city council, to stop color and race dis- crimination in the various depart- ments of the city government, But the brilliant (?) “triumvirate,” bet- ter known as “The Blossom Trip- lets," Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy, have never been able to ‘muster up’ courage enough to use ‘this same balancesof power to ac- complish things for their constitu- ents of color, they so glibly prom- ised to do when candidates for election, a fear ago last fall. A score or more of our young men and women who, last and this year, because of their race or color, oF both, have been refused appoint- ments to places in the city govern- ment they won in civil service ex- aminations, still are being refused ‘the places they are entitled to be- jcause of the weakness and_ineffec- tiveness of our three councilmen, “The Blossom Triplets.” ‘This in the face of the fact that often only ‘one of them is the balance of power in the council. More often, all three are, and still after more than a year and a half not a thing has been done or ts being done to erad- fcate the unfair, unjust and dis- graceful racial "discrimination in the various departments of the city. ‘There sure must be a “house (coun- cil)-cleaning,” as far as we are con- cerned, when élection day arrives, this fall.
