Each member has received a card asking them to name the state from which they came. This is part of a plan to promote the celebration The postponement of the Wilberforce day rally, Monday evening, to have been held at the church, was a great disappointment, caused by the seriousness of the unemployment situation hereabouts. Mr. Horace Emerson, chairman of the committee of arrangements, announces that as soon as business generally gets better the Wilberforce rally will be held. Many were anxious to hear the editor of The Gazette again.—The drum and bugle corps of the V. F. Church was in charge at the Sunday Baptist church. Sunday afternoon. A good program was rendered. W.

Negroes are denied justice so often in American courts, it is encouraging to find the U. S. Supreme Court blocking that barbaric practice. Monday the high court granted a new trial to Alfred Scott Aldridge, of the District of Columbia, convicted of murdering a policeman, because the trial judge had refused to permit the defense to question prospective jurors as to racial prejudice. Only one justice was to be found on the Supreme Court to uphold the lower court. That was McReynolds (of Tennessee). In his dissent, he went out of his way to sneer "Racism" (where may be)," was the way McReynolds described it. Fortunately the rest of the Supreme Court had heard of racial prejudice. Chief Justice Hughes, in his decision for the court majority, stated the issue: "The argument is advanced by the government that it would be detrimental to the administration of the law in the courts of the United States to allow questions to jurors as to racial or religious prejudice. We think it would be far more injurious to permit it to be thought that persons entertaining a disqualifying prejudice were allowed to serve as jurors and that inquiries deserved to elicit the fact of disqualification were barred. "No surer way could be devised to bring the processes of justice into disrepute."—The Cleveland (O.) Press. Eight, led by Chief Justice Hughes, for, and only one, against; and he a southerner! "Twas ever thus. Ruth Lamar, known as Hazel Dunlap, was fined $100 and given sixty days in the warehouse at Warrensville, on a charge of having, stabbed Mercedes Hutchinson, known as Mae Hutchinson, with intent to kill at a cabaret in the third district. April 12. TWO EDITORS SPEAK The One From New York Urges "Psychology of Conquest, Not Deaf"—The Other Urges Thoro Preparation and Praises Old Clevelanders. In his splendid address at St. Paul Zion A. M. E. church, late Sunday afternoon, Elmer A. Carter of New York City, editor of Opportunity, official publication of the National Urban league, said among other excellent things, after being introduced by the W. R. Conners, secretary of the local Urban league who sponsored and presided over the meeting: "In the present depression, whites are being forced from higher levels to lower levels, and are being thrown into more intense competition with our people." Mr. Carter said. "Racial empathy and favoritism enter economic competition. Jobs are fewer and fewer for 'Negroes.' What is the answer to this constant pushing of our people out of work? We must build a color line. We must develop more skill in industry. Christmas issues of both Life and Judge carried cover designs which were drawn by an Afro-American commercial artist, Elmer Sims Campbell, formerly of St. Louis. Another, Wendell King, a young radio engineer, superintended the moving of a radio station from Ashtabula, O., to,rie, Pa. It is such instances that prove that our young men and women who qualify can break the color line, and in this hope." Mr. Carter was followed by the Hon Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette who was also introduced by Mr. Conners. Mr. Smith said, in part: "Old Cleveland colored residents made possible the present opportunities for our group in this city, with the help of the best white people of that day. Fifty years ago, we had telegraph operators on the Lake Shore Road, at Ashtabula and later here in Cleveland. Freeman Morris was one of the leading tailors of John Lee, one of the finest restaurants in Euclid Ave., about half way between Public Square and what is now E. 6th St. Our skilled workers in that day successfully competed with other workers—"crossed the collarline" as Editor Carter says. My 50 years' experience in business have taught me that you must make preparation for anything worth while you try to do in a business or professional way of days, but handicap yourself from the start by failing to do this." He scored "The Blossom Triplets" in closing and was loudly applauded. DOINGS OF THE BACE. Thos. N. River, Sr., of Lawnside, New Jersey's only Afro-American mayor, died, last week. The 1930 census shows that our Virginia population decreased 40,000 in the ten years preceding 1930.

City play with all-colored actors that has run over a SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE "TRIAL" A FARCE WHILE A MOB OF OVER ONE THOUSAND BRUTES HOWLED OUTSIDE THE COURT ROOM. Nothing More Nor Less Than a "Judicial Lynching"—White Women, "Tough Characters," the Cause—Organize at Once to Help. (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.-According to The Liberator and other reliable papers, nine colored boys of tender age have been convicted of the crime of "rape" upon several white men charged on the tenth of July, 1931. The women are admitted to "be tough characters." Their reputation is such that great care should be used in taking their word in a case like this. The boys are minors and it is felt by unbiased persons that they could not have committed the crime they are accused of. However, a howling mob of more than one thousand men and women stood threateningly on the outside to lynch the justice should turn them on. Of the court room a "trial" was had which was nothing more than to render the verdict the mob outside demanded. The judicial lynching was carried in swift order and the boys must die, as we have said, in July. Things stand out in case; (a) white women of the south must be believed however deprived, if they accuse the most innocent Negro, or a multitude of Negroes, of the foul crime, and in the utilization of the case the arrest must be allowed of the white folks." (b) the courts of the south are very." (b) the courts of the category of the "lynchers" mob, with the exception that the case does the lynching instead of the blood-thirsty mob. (c) The tender age of the accused boys had no weight in the "trial" and under pressure they were forced to do and say whatever the mob in and outside of the court house demanded. (d) The inter-racial commissions of the south do not get busy while pressure they were forced to do and say whatever the mob in and outside of the court house demanded. (d) Wait until judgment has been rendered and then pleiously send out resolutions of condemnations while the victims suffer the loss of life, and. (e) The lawyers appointed by the court in this "trial" appeared to be in sympathy with the mob, and this made the termination of the "trial" short. Nothing in Russia or any of the savage islands can surpass this travesty on justice and red-handed murder in some of the cases of Scotland, Alaska, the State of Helfin and Bankhead. What can be done to prevent this foul blot on the escheon of America, namely, the hanging of these nine youths for a crime that evidence shows they did not year and is still "going strong." Mrs. Kennedy was the only daughter and heir of Madam C. J. Walker, hair culturist. Communists are backing the candidacy for the city council of Timothy Williams of Charlotte, N. C. He is our first candidate for office in our own since reconstruction days shortly after the close of the war of the rebellion. Mrs. Jennie D. Bowles was awarded a $5,000 judgment, week before last, by a jury in the Wayne County Circuit Court at Detroit against Mrs. Myrtle Bell of that city, for alienating the affections of her husband, Walter Bowles. The beautiful Mrs. Eugene C. Nelson (white) of Los Angeles, Cal., former Follies star, has announced for her entire suit for a divorce from Dr. Nelson. They were married in 1927 at Tia Juana, Mex. It is expected that she will return to him again as in the past. Feral Benga, a Senegalese, tail, supple and smooth; Meka, age 18, a Sudanese with tribal markings on her face in the shape of a bluish arrow on her forehead almost between the eyes, and a French girl (white) are the rage as dancers at the Folies Bergere, in Paris, France, Benga and Kandi, in black Africans, with their white assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sellers, of Cedar Ave., are sponsoring a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Black, at $914 Cedar Ave. The formal announcement of the marriage of Mrs. Sellers' sister, Norma L. Glover, to Mr. Black, Nov. 3, '30, was made, last week.

Byrd. to bear upon the courts of Alabama to prevent the consummation of this judicial farce. (3) An impartial investigation should be made of the whole affair and if any one or two of the boys attempted or committed the crime, punish them but do not kill nine boys because of what one or two did. And in adjudicating this case due weight should be given the reputations of boys and the morally reputed reputation of women should be considered. We believe the most depraved one should be protected from the rapist but in doing so it must be shown without doubt that the women were not a party to the happening. It is time that the courts of the south know no race or color in its meeting out punishment and justice. The colored race cannot but think red, or any other color that represents a societal oppression if this drama judicially condoned and upheld by the sentiment of America and the courts of the nation. If a nation-wide drive is made to get funds to fight this case the writer will be too glad to give and aid in the collection of the money. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Idlewild Seeks an Executive. Chicago, Ill., (A. N.

SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1931. The Hon. Chas. A. Roxborough, our only member of the Michigan State Senate, secured the passage in his branch of the State Assembly, last week, of his civil rights bill, without a dissenting vote. This is remarkable and is a duplication of the success the editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette had with his civil rights bill in the lower house of the Ohio Legislature, in 1894. Congratulations, Senator! --- The "prominent Negroes" who are rushing to the White House, these days, on one pretext or another, and not getting their pictures taken with the President, are not fooling the great mass of intelligent Afro-Americans. Neither are their statements to the effect that "President Hoover urges a better standard of 'Negro' homes," etc. etc. Said "Negroes" are only playing into the hands of the President's political managers by accepting appointments to membership in "jim-crow" committees of one kind or another. --- State Senator Ackerman of this city who sponsored the barber bill phoned the editor of The Gazette, last week Thursday morning, saying there was nothing in the bill discriminating against our barbers, as alleged by the Hon. Perry B. Jackson, and that he thought it strange that Mr. Jackson had never said anything to him about the bill. Ackerman and Jackson were colleagues in the last State Assembly. So do we think it strange. The Senator is Jewish and does not believe in color-lines of any kind, so he informs us. NOT UNIQUE IN AMERICA. "Mob violence, in itself, is not unique in America. It has become the fashion in Europe. It is just as frequent in the streets of Vienna as in the streets of some of our southern cities." This was the view expressed by Assistant County Prosecutor David R. Hertz before St. James A. M. E. forum, Sunday afternoon, in this city. "Mob violence represents merely another instance of man's resort to the use of force and violence in accomplishing those things he should accomplish by law and understanding." Mr. Hertz said. "In Europe, the victims happen to be the Jew." Mr. Hertz says: "I fully and heartily endorse any measure reasonably effective to stamp out this ignomy (lynching)," which of course has reference to our pioneer Ohio Mob Violence act, or Antilynching law, the most successful legislation of the kind in the country and the foundation of about all the anti-lynching legislation of the various states, and the foundation of all the anti-lynching bills introduced in the U. S. Congress. Writing the editor of The Gazette, under date April 17, Mr. Hertz said, among other things: "You deserve a great deal of credit for the enactment of this legislation." Thanks! BUTLER VS. BELLEGARDE. When Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler of the U. S. Marines recently bumped up against the Hon. Dantes Bellegarde, minister to the U. S. from Haliit, he met more than his match, and undoubtedly realized that he was not in Haliit, too. Then one Howard Miller (white), owner of the station which cut the general off the air when he used the word "hell" in discussing the recent Haitian incident, and was backed in sooding by the officials of the radio commission in Washington, gave the general another much-needed "eye-opener." The "spotted baby" of the marines and his coarse language in public speech have been tolerated entirely too long. Messrs. Bellegarde and Miller are entitled to a great deal of praise and credit for what they have done to the "fighting marine" whose alleged capture "with two other marines" of the (mythical) Fort Rivière in Haiti, some years ago, where more than 2,500 natives were ruthlessly killed by American marines, secured him a second U. S. Congressional medal of honor. MORE HOKUM? A "release" sent from Washington, last week, to the newspapers of the country, announces that: "The great public building program inaugurated by the President to relieve unemployment and stimulate the nation's entire economic system has reached the billion-dollar mark in the first three months of this year and given employment to hundreds of thousands of workers." So strange that any of this "relief" and "stimulation" is not felt and cannot be located in this section or any other part of the country. Better be before the year is out or it will be "just too bad" for the "President," next year in the fall-time. Announcement of his inauguration of a great public building program to relieve unemployment, etc., ties the "unemployment situation or economic depression" right up to the Hoover administration, making the latter, in the minds of the great mass of unemployed workers and others, directly responsible for a continuance of the distressing times. Another statement which eminated from Washington, D. C., late last week, was one to the effect that President Hoover was pleased to note the fact that no efforts were being made to lower wages or the standards of living. "S'more hokum! As if the "high standards of living" and "high wages," created by World War prosperity, can be retained with that prosperity gone. Both high wages and high standards of living must be lowered, like all other things, to harmonize with the greatly lessened prosperity of the country since the World War. Slowly but surely this country and the whole world are drifting back to the normal that existed prior to the World War, and no human power can prevent this. WOODSON VS. HOWARD --- Atty. Perry W. Howard of Washington, D. C., is the former special assistant U. S. attorney-general, and member of the Republican National committee from the state of Mississippi. Perry is the very light-complexioned member of the race who, many months ago, sided with the Pullman Company, as against their porters' and maids' organization which was threatening a strike because of the meager pay they received. Now Perry is siding with prejudiced whites and "jim-crow Negroes" of Washington, D. C., who are trying to oust Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, on the ground that he is a "Red" or Communist. The objection to Dr. Johnson is that he is a MAN; an exceptional "Negro," because he insists upon our people having all the rights and privileges enjoyed by all other American citizens. "T'other day," as the late lamented comedian, Bert Williams, would say, Dr. Carter G. Woodson of the nation's capital left the MuSo-Lit club, our leading social organization there, when Perry entered, went home and wrote a letter to the president of the club in which he requested that individual to "take under advisement the matter of excluding Perry W. Howard from the club," because the latter "is denouncing, as 'Reds' or Communists, 'Negroes' who are demanding justice and equality for their race," and added: "The Mu-So-Lit club, as I understand it, is supposedly composed of men who are of such high character that they would not stoop to anything so contemptible as the false accusation and treachery of which he (Howard) is guilty, and gentlemen can no longer feel comfortable in his presence. To fraternalize a man, who openly these things attaches to the membership the stigma which is peculiarly his." Amen! "Brother" Woodson. Would that there were more of your kind in every community, especially at the nation's capital where there are so very many sycophants of color, "jim-crow Negroes," and worse. Perry has played "Uncle Tom," in politics particularly, so long that he has gotten brazen with it. Therefore, it is time to call a halt, and the best way to start doing this is for President M. Grant Lucas of the Mu-So-Lit club to promptly accede to Dr. Woodson's request for the elimination of Perry Howard.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 2. 1931 In spite of inclement weather, Tried Stone was well filled, Sunday morning. Rev. Jas. Blue preached an excellent sermon which was preceded by two selections by the Allied message in song. Sunday afternoon, a series of sermonettes were delivered by young ministers of the church. Sunday evening, Rev. J. R. Yewell preached a very inspiring sermon. Sunday was really day! The pastor and club board, a splendid club, auxiliary and every member, who reported, for splendid co-operation, YOU KNOW ME, AL THEY TELL ME YOU ARE A GOOD GOLFER, AND I WANT TO TAKE UP THE GAME SO AS TO GET ON TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH THE ENGLISH YOU WOULDN'T GET ON TERMS OF EQUALITY EVEN IF YOU TOOK UP TEA AND CRICKET DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME SOME MORNING?

The mention of Perry B. Jackson and Norman L. McGhee as probable candidates for the City Council in the second district, where there are too few of our voters to be of material assistance to either candidacy, is in all probability "a political feeler." Wonder what Perry and Norman want from Councilman Chas. Sachs, the Republican organization candidate, or from the organization? It begins to look as if Perry's too close association with "The Blossom Triplets" is in a fair way to "get him in bad" politically with the organization. The affairs of the 59th Division, U. N. I., a seem to be in bad shape. The recent death of its president, S. V. Robinson, whose supervision of the organization's affairs for several years was very unsatisfactory to a large element in it, has not materially helped, it seems. S. W. Miller, E. 34th St., has for many months contended unsuccessfully for an audit of the division's books, something Mr. Robinson bitterly opposed until the very last. The split in the national organization which in two factions, known as Marcus Gervais and anti-Gervaises, doubtless had something to do with Mr. Miller's failure to make the progress he fought so hard and so long for. The audit should be made now. A Cleveland correspondent of a Chicago paper wrote an article to that paper which was published last week. After saying that two hundred members of the East End Republican club, of which the councilman is president, endorsed him for re-election the aforementioned correspondent added: "Councilman George has won the respect of his entire constituency in the fourth district which includes the city of Chicago. He is dependent for most of his strength in the fall election. His election is assured by his hosts of workers and friends." There is not a word of truth in the foregoing and the individual that wrote it knew better and knows better. In the first place, George's "entire constituency," as far as his candidacy is concerned, is split "all up the back and down the front," and everybody knows it. Some of his best supporters have bolted both the George support and the Republican support of the Ward Democratic club as The Rounder stated in the last issue of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Many more are openly and aggressively hostile to the projected George candidacy. Two years ago, this fall, with the united and solid support of his own people, he was elected by a very small plurality, and that wasn't determined for a day or two after election day. This fall, as we have already said, he will enter the campaign with his support of two years of experience and would like to face the baneful effect of the unemployment situation or economic depression. As a matter of fact George has about as much chance to be elected, this fall, as The Rounder has to be elected president of the United States, next year. TRIED STONE CHURCH NEWS; OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the constitutionality of the law and it has been MOBS. 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 (43 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "lynching" injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as per manently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (43 v. 161 2.) 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 from the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, 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 persecution by the hood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 12 5.) 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 but a 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 recover of such person so lynched nor 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action or 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 inquire with the costs of action, in the extent to which such action, in the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case.

If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian, and such guardian 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. 1) The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, such lynching shall be deemed a means of a man able to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) 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. ed. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. most member of mob most 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 which the mob came, unless there was a wronglygende 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' 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 color, the full enjoyment of the access to the facilities, fullties or privileges thereof, 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 hundreds dollars to the per capita aggrieved 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND, FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of subversive and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; by nature they self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

The contest was so close that there are those who feel that Young Glass was favored. Time, 69.7, two-tenths second over Tolan's world record. THE BRADLEY WILL! All the Beneficiaries and What Was Won.

Where it has the power it should fight. Where it lives in oppression and would seem hostile it can pray. We know it will have a "Negroes" who would like to have a "Nero" Republican party, with a chairman and 48 committeemen, financed by the regular committee. They would be happy to nominate the chief cook at the White House, who would run on the ticket with the President of the United States Sunday morning, on the steps of a Washington church, with a silk hat in one hand and a dish rag in the other. Mr. Hoover should give the race recognition by appointments to office and not by periodically naming the candidates. Unless he does this there might be a Negro Committee" in 1932 that may trouble him—Chicago Defender.

In fact, ears are made so well that many owners neglect to have them properly serviced and this very negligence is reilly ove of the major contributing factors of traffic mishaps. The motorist who takes good care of bis car and tsa careful driver seldom, if ever, figures in an accl- dent or is to blame for one. Deceteration and Acceleration. “With the increaséd tratfie of today quick deceleration and acceleration are paramofint requisites of the mod- ern car. Good deceleration Is. at- tained by keeping the brakes, espe- cially the front ones, in good working order and well balanced. This is par- ticularly important when driving on a slippery pavement as it eliminates side swerving and minimizes traffic mishaps. “Good acceleration can be improved if the car's ignition system is in good working order. Sixty-five per cent of the ears towed In by service ears are stalled due to faulty ignition.

Equally good ‘work can be done in educating moto- ists to keep thelr cars in good me: chanical condition through periodte in- ‘spection at the various service sta- tions, Periodic Inspection. “Periodic inspection means preven tlon of mishaps as well as prevention of undue depreciation—it is preven- tive service. Besides the benefits of preventive service from a safety stand- point, there is a definite pecuniary value to the car owner. A car prop- erly cared for is easy to sell. The owner often gets a better allowance ‘when he turns it In on a new car as there is no abnormal reconditioning needed. “Buying a well cared for car usual- ly 1s @ good purchase.

Checkup of Spark Plugs Is Advisable in Spring After short and slow running under winter conditions a thorough checkup of the spark plugs Is advisable at this time in order to guarantee a spring and summer of carefree operation, Old oF worn-out plugs cause poor starting, excessive drain on the bat tery, poor running, and loss of power, especially on hills. ‘The motorist will find that it pays to look after the spark plugs trom the standpoint of low maintenance cost and satisfactory performance. Tests show that a motor in which spark plugs had been used for more than 10,000 miles developed 31.2 horse power when run at an engine speed equivalent to 20 miles an hour. ‘The same motor run at the seme speed equipped with a new set of plugs gave a horse ‘power rending of 98.0, an In- crease of 68 horse power. An astonishingly large percentaze of poor performance may be eliminated by attention to spark plugs, and this is why car manufacturers. recommend that spark plugs be renewed every 10,- 000 miles, and inspected at least twice a year, debbie bebop piniie AUTOMOBILE HINTS FREE When a tire ts changed, don't forget to have the spare repaired.

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 ke. New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New ‘York, especially when they are built to cover the crime, race diserimina- tion, Many of our 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 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 appoiuied on the staffs. of Christ hospital and-also General hos- pital. Young Dr. Ghee is a gradu- ate of 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, eld: Wad @iyatpencerd andl per etieces 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. 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-sround incompetency, —selfish- ness and geatt. 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., be- cause they are not prepared to. ply their (rade or enter “Y's” among men of standing and first-class qual- Meations. The day of “race accom- modations,” to cover over Tace un- preparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED!

Perhaps the “Negro” ministry is fa great sinner in this particular. ‘Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud- mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their prineiple asset, Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are foliowing the same loud-mouithed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient habits of our people, simply to. get money out of them.’ “A very little conscientious effort is being made by our, ministry to uplift and refine our churches.

Maal ne many of them are not third grade pupils in graminar schools, These race-churches, like what physicians call, “race hospitals," are doing more injury to religion than holp. “Negro” ministers and _ physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races.

A storm of questions were hurled at Welfare Director Dudley S.

Blossom side-stepped a number of questions and said he would like to see the department run without poli- ties, altho he admitted that the City Couneil had been very liberal in its treatment of it, in the way of pro- viding funds. J. E. Hubbard, chair- man, seemed to be very much afraid that questions asked the “color-line” director would wound his feelings, and as a result a number of interest- Ing questions relative to the conduct of the welfare department were cast aside by the chairman, Near the close of the meeting, the pastor of St. James A, M. E. chureh, Rey. Or- mond Walker, arose and ‘seemingly “with fire in his eyes,” made the foi- lowing very remarkable statement: “Ie would be well to inquire from the director what percent of colored people were being sent to jail and to the workhouse?” .. Walker also said: “Negroes constitute only seven per- cent of the population of Cleveland and they need not expect any more, as far as jobs are concerned.” Is “zat so? What do you think of it?

A drive to raise scholarship-money for de- serving students was also launched at the meeting which was held in Temple Baptist church. When George became a “Blossom Triplet,” that settled it! His club's endorse- ment doesn’t mean a thing. This is trae 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 couneil- men. 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 support- ers, two Years ago, are not only bit- terly opposed to his re-election but some of them have even joined the 18th Ward Democratic club. Mr. and Mrs, Elmer Whiting, particu- larly 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 herald- ing to the effect that they have the endorsement of the Republican or- ganization is notoriously untrue for the very good reason that the or- ganization does not endorse any ‘Candiinten thin ‘earie: Agents: $10 a Day cae iauGe easel Soa icie tanned | Work Spare Tine Full Time [| N ISRO Re or nouey nny pint. oxi ness)” seas au) nates
