TOLEDO.—Long smouldering race prejudice flamed up here, week before last, when thirty of our students were refused tickets to attend an annual school social function at the University of Toledo. Although they had signed up for the affair, an estimate of stupefied clips allowed some of those conducting the affair to exclude all of our students. CINCINNATI—Joe Thomas will not be electuced, according to Judge Dennis Ryan. But he will have to sit in the electric chair for a few moments with the current off. Judge Dennis issued this order to give Joe time to muse over his narrow escape from the death chair. He was convicted and sentenced to be elec- tured for the heart. The victim later recovered. However, Joe will have to serve a year's term in prison. WILBERFORCE—Hon. Perry B.

C.—Eugene Gordon, a young "Negro" connected with the Boston Daily Post, says; "The happiest circumstance that could betall the so-called 'Negro' race in the U. S. would be the immediate demise of certain of the race's ancient leaders." I nominate the lead the procession on its trek to oblivion and such glory as he expects to get when he reaches heaven. The good old dean (of Howard University) has excellent intentions but he is a pitiful ignoramus. I called Miller an ignoramus and that is why he is much longer; neither in flesh nor, I hope, in spirit. It will be a happy day for the budding generation of Aframericans when the dean, and those who follow under his banner, have joined their pappies and mammies at the feet of Jesus. He talks more frequently like a body educator than a paradesman, without knowing the real significance of what it is saving. "Substitute 'jim-crow Negroes' for 'ancient leaders' and one is given a very proper 'low-down' on Prof Kelly Miller of Howard University, this city, and all of his kidney. In order to hold his job at Howard Kelly submitted to treatment from President Durkee (white), some years ago, that would have made even an ordinary 'jim-crow Negro resign and get out of the institution. While there is a world of truth in young Goodwin's comment on Kelly, he and she show the lute need of the right kind of 'ancient leaders' better than anything else. Miss Daisy Lampkin of Pittsburgh, an organizer for the N. A. A. C. P., arrived in the city, the past week, for the purpose of putting on a membership drive for the local branch.

Again The Rounder wants to remind all of our men out of work that they should remember that with three out of fifteen Republican councilmen you are entitled to several hundred city jobs you do not get. Your unemployment is due, to a very large extent, to your councilman and ward leader's neglect in not getting you what belongs to you, what you are entitled to! See him, today! In his "Items on The Wing." Dr. J. K. Nickens has this very sane and sensible statement which about all of our so-called business men in this city, and others, should read and ponder over: "A man who has any kind of business and can't afford to advertise it should sell out or give it away at A. M. Dr. J. K. Nickens. once. We rent a place and pay $40 a month for three months before we have forty cents worth of trade because we won't advertise. A man in Cincinnati spent $20 on a fourth-page advertisement and sold $2,000 worth of goods during the following two weeks as a result. We have said that hundreds of those of both classes, or races, who have sought to do business, particularly in Central, Scovill, Woodland Aves, and E. 55th St. without advertising, have died of "dry rot" in the last ten years. Others are doing the same thing, but with a different experience to suit the bitter experience, seems to take them nothing. Wonder if anything could wake them up? Now that the local daily newspapers and other prominent citizens, male and female, are demanding that City Manager Daniel E. Morgan remove City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom because of the inexhaustible mistreatment of the young unwed man who sought refuge in the City hospital, recently, to give birth to a child, only to be turned away, it is time to tell Mr. Morgan that he never can be elected "mayer of Cleveland" unless he "ditches" Blossom, and does it promptly! Then, too, our people have too many intelligent voters in this good town who would love to have them rejoined Blossom by supporting Daniel E. Morgan for mayor, or anything else, unless he drops said Blossom from his cabinet and does it promptly. The editor of The Gazette told the city manager before he reappointed Blossom that if he made that mistake the "chickens would surely come home to roost" just when he did. And by the way, that City Manager, The Rounder wants you to watch and see what will happen to "The Blossom Triplets," this fall, on election day. For a week or ten days before former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins was ousted, the first of last year, Councilman Roy Bundy made Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, trouble a plenty, howling for the mythical candidacy of Senator Geo. H. Bender for city manager, and claiming that he had the support of Clayborne George and Larry Payne, the other "Blossom Triplets." This latter was open to some question, but the fact remains that all three of them made a peck of trouble. But under the leadership of the eerie patriotic Bundy they fought. The Republican organization candidate afterward all sorts of trouble for the party organization up until George and Payne pulled away from Bundy in the Day-Harris contest. Then the Hotel Majestic "bobblegush" had it announced in the daily newspapers that Maurice Maschke would be run out of the seventeenth ward if he went out there to SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OF TWO LEADING CHARACTERS OF MRS. HARRIET BEACHER STOWE'S WORLD FAMOUS BOOK, "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." "George and Eliza Harris" Were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Clark of Oberlin—He Traveled Thruout the Country, in Companies, for Years. Cincinnati, O.—As many know, George and Eliza Harris, the two famous characters of Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe's famous book, "Ucle Tom's Cabin," which have been depicted on stage and screen for the past 60 years, were genuine persons, having the actual experiences portrayed in the story. They escaped from slavery, and gained their liberty in Canada after many thrilling adventures, with the help of the "Underground railroad." After a few years they located in Oberlin, where they were well known for the rest of the story. The name was Lewis Clark. He was a slave in Kentucky, the son of his Scotch master and his master's quadron slave. As described in a recent Kentucky magazine: Lewis Clark was a very bright and capable young man, "as white as the fairest Caucasian with a Scotch shrewdness and longing for liberty." Made Escape. He married a beautiful octoonor slave, owned by Thomas Kennedy, Jr. (Mr. Shelby in the story). This beautiful octoonor was the Eliza Harris of the story, who made a wild dash for liberty when her child was solo. The anarchist husband was known most marvelously. George Harris soon after made good his escape and joined them and they reached Canada together. At Oberlin, they were universally known as Georgia and Eliza Harris, few persons knowing their real name. Even at the time of the death of Mr. Clark the church announced from the church pulpit as the "funeral of Eliza Harris." Has Historical Watch. "I was a student" in Oberlin College in the Seventies," says Mrs. L. A. Chamberlin of Oklahoma City, "and Lewis Clark (Geo. Harris) was a frequent visitor at our house, especially after his wife's death, when he was new months after her death, Mr. Clark showed us Eliza Harris' gold watch which he desired to sell. My father, Alvan Drew, bought it of him because of its historical value, and my mother carried it for several years, an act that is now in my possession. It is of English make, has a solid gold case, make a political speech. This, following the repeated statements, in the daily press, to the effect that "The Blossom Triplets," particularly Payne and Bundy were going to dehrone Alex, Bernstein, leader of the 12th ward, and 'Councilman Herman Finkle, whose ballwick is the same ward, substituting "Negro" leadership. And ever so much more of this political 'rot' of one kind and another, the Blossom Triplets, are Bundy's unwelcome accomplice for To repeat, they made the management of the Republican organization all the trouble they could, and now, when it comes near time to seek reelection, are out telling people that they have the endorsement of the Republican organization, a statement ridiculously untrue. Now it is proposed to stop the Scovill Ave. cars, too, before they get to the Square, re-routing them thru Prospect Ave, and E. 2nd St. like the Central Ave. line, notwithstanding the fact that we have three members of the City Council, one if not two of whom are members of the council's transportation committee (City Council, City Councilman and Councilman Sam B. Michel from the west side of the city, seems to feel that anything is good enough for the lines most largely patronize by our people, and the third district. They have made the service on Central Ave. about the worst in the city, with Scovill and Cedar Ave. lines a close second and third, re-commissioning the service, to make the service even worse while "The Blossom Triplets" sit supinely by, as usual and help them do it, Lord, have mercy! The Payne Ave. line is to make the run to the depot now made by the Scovill Ave. line. This, too, in the face of the fact that the Scovill Ave. line is the logical one to run to the Union station because it crosses almost every other line in contact with the Scovill Ave. line only Detroit and Clifton lines. All persons on lines south of Cedar and three west side lines would be compelled to walk from Prospect to Superior, en route to the depot.

Jewellery made more than 100 years ago. Refused to "Pass." "As related in Mrs. Stowe's book, George Harris long cherished an ambition to found a colony in Africa for the enslaved and down-trodden race. After his freedom was assured a friend urged him to take his place in America as a white man. He replied to his friend: 'True, as you have said, I might mingle in the circles of the whites, my shade of color is so light, and that of my wife and family scarcely perceptible; perhaps on sufferance I might; but I have no wish to. My sympathies are not for my father's race, but for my mother's. To my father I was no more than a fine dog or horse; to my poor heart-broken mother, I was a son; and though I never saw her after I was born, I know that she always loved her early. When I think of all she suffered, of my own early sufferings, of the distress and sufferings of my heroic wife, I have no wish to pass for an American white man or to identify myself with them. It is with the oppressed, enslaved African race that I cast my lot.' Returned to Kentucky. Returned to Kentucky. "In 1881 George Harris returned to the Kentucky school, the scene of his bondage, from which he made his bold dash for liberty 40 years before. And how proud Kentucky was of her former slave son! Later, broken in spirit and in finances he had to relinquish his long cherished plan of the African colony. The 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' story was dramatized as we all know, and one of the companies playing it, employed him as a special attraction: 'The Original George Harris.' The last time I saw him was in 1888, when his company was playing a two-night stand in the Michigan town where I was then residing. He was the same George Harris. Though his hat was white, his skin was still as white 'as the faucer Caucasian' and his Scotch blue eyes were as bright and keen as ever. George Harris' heroic life and lofty aspirations were ever an inspiration to me." good service? The set-up looks like they are trying to route Scovill and Central around the market, thus duplicating that service. Then it will be easier to take off the Central cars. Scovill is also the most convenient for all who have business at the court house, post office and depot, and these include Councilman Finkle's constituents. Better call his attention to this as he is on the transportation committee, too. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Dr. Thos. E. Jones (white), president of Fisk University, Nashville, does not favor racial intermarriage. Of course! There is not a single Afro-American clerk in the U. S. State Department where, there are 700 clerks in thirty divisions. There are 50 messengers of color. Mary E. Williams, director of the nurse service bureau, Tuskegee Ala. Institute Health Center, has been selected by the U. S. War department to accompany our "jim-crowed" Gold Star Mothers and wildows to the battlefields of France, May 29. Methods of reducing the P. W. mortgage indebtedness, were discussed Wednesday at a meeting the fiscal board of trustees of the organization. The recent membership drive helped reduce this indebtedness but a further decrease is necessary, it is said. Mark L. Thomson (white) presided at the meeting. If the Danaceau charter amendment weathers the Supreme court and is voted up by the people, City Manager Daniel E. Morgan better be divorced from his welfare director, Dudley S. Blossom, if he wants to run for mayor with any hope of being elected, say about all of our people of this community.

Jones thinks Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D.C., should "quit" as a trustee of Howard University, and there are a great many of us who think Dr. John, one of the "voteless wonders," ought to take a running jump out of politics also and to stick to his religious and banking efforts. --- The way in which Dr. Carter G. Woodson is "rattling the political dry-bones" down around Washington, the capital of the nation, is good for sore eyes. He is sure holding up the "jim-crow Negro" (W. F. N.), politically and otherwise, to the full view of all who will see, and telling some truths that sooner or later will shake the very rotten foundation of the present order of things. His castigation of the Perry Howard, John R. Hawkins and Emmett J. Scott of political "Negro" sycophants is most illuminating and pleasing. --- The editor of the Baltimore Afro-American calls attention to the fact that of the nine Americans killed by Nicaraguan rebels, recently, only one was from the nothern part of this country. It was during the southern Democratic Wilson administration that the U. S. marines were simply made "lousy" with southern crackers, and if memory serves us correctly it was during that same administration or soon thereafter that U. S. marines were sent to Haiti, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua and Mexico. All of which explains the preponderance of "crackers" names in that list of Americans killed, recently, by Nicaraguan rebels. ---||||||--- In spite of the unwarranted and inexcusable interference and opposition of the N. A. A. C. P. the Hargrave Migrant Labor bill triumphantly passed the New Jersey State Assembly, last week. This bill was sponsored by our voters of that state, led by Dr. Wm. A. Byrd of Jersey City. It creates a migrant welfare and employment bureau which is to work among our people of that state, particularly those in Jersey City. It seems strange that the national officers of the N. A. A. C. P. persist in "messing" in the state affairs of our people, especially to the neglect of much more important national interests of far more concern to all of our people of the country. --- Archie Kennell, a jury commissioner of this county, when complaints were made to him that our people were not getting as many jurors as our population entitles us to, replied with the statement that our prominent men and women were avoiding jury service whenever possible, and that our ministers "generally refused." All of which may and may not be true. One thing sure and that is, there are entirely too few Afro-American jurors in both city and county courts. We quite agree with Common Pleas Judge James B. Ruhl, one of our best friends on the bench, that "great service could be rendered in promoting better race-relations thru contact on the jury," and we want it. As citizens, we are entitled to it. It is not a favor we are asking, but a citizen's privilege and right. Sherman Ferguson and Cecile Labbie (white) of Lewiston, Maine, lovers for three years, on one technicality and another were refused a marriage license in both Lewiston and Boston, last week, altho both Maine and Massachusetts have no law forbidding racial intermarriage. This happens ever and anon in various northern states that, like the two mentioned, have no anti-racial intermarriage law. Of course, Sherman and Cecile will marry if they have not already done so. However, what we want to call attention to particularly is the fact that in every way possible the determination to separate the two races, as suggested by Booker T. Washington, many years ago, in his fool "separate as the fingers of the hand" speech, in Atlanta, is being shown. It will not succeed finally even tho it is being aided and abetted by "jim-crow Negroes" (W. F. Ns.) OUST BLOSSOM! On April 27, '31, early in the morning in a cold room in the Whittier-E. 55th St. hotel, a little seven and one-half pound baby-girl was born to a crippled unwed mother (white) whom officials at the City hospital had refused admittance to its maternity ward, two hours before. "Mary Elizabeth" came into the world without medical attention, the manager of the "hotel," a woman, and a sister of the mother acting as impromptu mid-wives, although had had experience. The unfortunate mother was too poor to get a physician and proper medical attention could not be given her because of lack of facilities in the hotel room. So the poor thing was just "out of luck" from every viewpoint, it seems. The City hospital's refusal to receive her was defended by Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom and Parker J. McMillan, hospital superintendent when criticised by officials of St. Ann's hospital, this city, who said "the girl had gone to City hospital for treatment on previous occasions and her semi-paralyzed condition was known there. This made child-birth extremely difficult and dangerous and every facility should have been available to ease the shock," they added. Anent the foregoing, a leading local daily newspaper, The Cleveland Press, had the following to say in its issue of May 1, '31: On Further Consideration On Further Consideration In commenting on the refusal of City Hospital authorities to admit an unmarried mother for childbirth, The Press assumed the other day that the mistake of the admitting officer must have been regretted by himself and superiors as much as by anyone else. Our own comment was tempered by the feeling that the incident pointed its own moral and required no painful elaboration. Since then, however, Welfare Director Blossom has issued a statement justifying the action of the admitting officer on the ground that mumps was prevalent in the maternity ward. He took no notice of the fact that there was ample bed space elsewhere in the hospital. While Director Blossom has been applauding this frightful blunder, no real expression of regret has come from any other official of the hospital or the Welfare Department. If the admitting officer still thinks he acted correctly, he is not entitled to any consideration. He should be removed instantly, and if his superiors are really as callous as indicated in Director Blossom's statement, City Manager Morgan would be well advised to extend the removal process to include all who feel that way about it. In maintaining an institution of mercy at great expense to themselves the taxpayers cannot tolerate its administration by brutal and indifferent officials." We have been particular to give the foregoing in detail because we want our readers, and everybody else possible, to see just what kind of a man Director Dudley S. Blossom really is. His "applauding this frightful blunder" without any "real expression of regret" is very like his equally cold-blooded and insulting statement, a year ago last fall, to Rev, Horace C. Bailey of this city and his motherless granddaughter, little Miss Patrick, one of our local public school students at the time, that "No 'Negro' boy or girl shall train in City hospital while I am director." Drop Blossom, Mr. Manager, and soon, too, if you ever hope to get the support of the masses of the people of this community for anything. The Gazette adds its demand to that of The Press and others of this community who are urging his removal from office and that of Supt. McMillan, too. KILLED THE BARBER BILL. Gov. George White (Dem.) is certainly to be congratulated on having vetoed that barber bill, which as a law would have compelled every barber in the state to secure a license, thus making it harder for all to make a living. The expense required by several phases of the bill would have proven an additional heavy burden right when all are least able to bear it. Then, too, it gave the unions a monopoly of the barber business, too. Ohio's statutes have too many useless laws now, especially those creating fat jobs for persons with political "pulls," all of whom, in case the barber bill became a law, would have to be paid in part from the thousands of dollars taken from the pockets of the poor barbers of the state. The rich ones are not very numerous. Gov. White wisely said, "the present state, county and city health regulations pertaining to barber shops are ample to cover every reasonable requirement" and that "the barber bill would only have weakened the existing health and sanitary regulations of shops THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9. 1931.

Fleming. If ever there was a man in the Ohio penitentiary who was framed and "railroaded" there, it is Tom, and we are sure Gov.

Ohio Stadium, Columbus—Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan flash, warded off all attempts to wrest his 100-yard laurels when he outsteaked the field in the century in :9.6. in the state tournament here, last Saturday. Tolan took the lead at the gun and was closely pressed all the way by McCormick of Notre Dame. Dee Hutton, Denison, who qualified in :9.7. Friday, finished third. Tolan with a side wind, was only one-tenth of a second slower than his world's mark. Jesse Owens, East Tech's "Afro" flash, was the biggest individual star from the Forest City. Having already taken second to Vince Murphy of Cathedral Latin in the high jump, Friday, Jesse went on, Saturday, to the track at the Columbus Purnell (white) of Columbus Central in the 100-yard dash, the judges deciding, after a conference, that Purnell had won. Owens also coped a fourth place in the 120-yard low hurdles, which was won by "Osseo" of Columbus (white) of Columbus Roosevelt, a physical abnormality who can stretch over the timbers without seeming to take more than a normal stride. TRIED STONE CHURCH NEWS The pastor delivered two splendid sermons, Sunday, in commemoration of the first Sunday in May, eight years ago. Miss E. Eugenia Brewer, chorister, song "Nearer My God to Thee." The Clover Four (female quartette) sang four selections from the Bible, including Communion and baptising in the afternoon. There were candidates from three sister churches. The pastor wishes to thank each member who did his bit to make Tried Stone's contribution to the Christian Community center; also those who were kind enough to donate cakes, and be present. Mr. Brewer, eight years ago, again presented Rev. Yewell with a beautifully decorated cake with his name on. This helped Tried Stone's table to look just as pretty as the others. And did you know that a certain prominent minister of the city wore a "silk beaver" into the pulpit, Sunday morning? Well, he did, and it really was becoming. This hat was presented by Mr. Thos.

Garland Penn (deceased), and bearing his full name, has been expelled from the Lexington M. E. conference on the charge of "misappropriation of funds and immoral conduct." He was a former district superintendent. The charge was first presented against him, last year, when suspended by a committee of elders in a session of the conference in Cory M. Penn, M. O. Penn, who was originally preferred by the City Missionary society of Youngstown, of the N. O. conference (white). The senior Penn occupied a number of leading positions in the Church and stood high in its councils until his death. Won Promotion Boston, Mass.—An Afro-American and two Chinese lads are commanders of companies of high school cadets', this city.

Hines, Afro-American, 3rd reg.; Major Jim Eng, Chinese, 1st reg. Fifteen hundred persons witnessed the competitors' drill at the 101st Inf. armory. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines on one at least. The few who do must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C.

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. ad. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob just 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 from judgment and costs from the county from which the man came unless there was contributory damage on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. Sec. 12940. Whoever brings the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-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 accessities and privileges, abilities 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 more than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars in the person aggrieved thereby to be reeremed 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 CONTENDE FOR, 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 universal discrimination against 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; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights." The World Respect 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. N-O-LE-UH! I THAT SETTLE IN WILLI РОКЛИ AIR travel now has all the comforts of other modes of transportation.

SCOFIELD REFERENCE BIBLE THE enormous sale of the Bible during a year of world-wide depression convincingly establishes the Bible as the world's most popular book.

Wolbarat, M.D. ONE of the few books of recent years which has received the universal praise of its readers, is generations of Adam by Dr. A. L. Wrenn. He quote the Baltimore Sun. Here is a book, a book about sex written with reference to the theological or moral aspect of the subject." In other words it deals straightforwardly with fact. As Dr. Wolbrast himself says, "The younger generation has made a great step forward in its frankness in such matters, but many of the so-called sophisticated flames are woefully ignorant of biology in spite of their bright chatter."

THE DECAMERON BY BOCACCIO Translated by Fayne THE Decameron of Boccaccio, point of contention between moralists and literateurs for centuries, has finally been accepted as legal literature. The Modern Library at 20 East 57th Street, New York, has just published the book in an unabridged translation of John Payne, which universities and colleges have included as compulsory reading. Boccaccio—Troubadour, Lover and Sore Story Man The Decameron embodies the grace and elegance, wit and humor of an age that was even more outspoken than our own. Boccaccio in his Proem describes it—"I purpose for the succor and solace of ladies in love to recount an hundred stories or fables or parables or his stories, whatever you like to style them. In these stories be found love adventures, both gladiate and grievous and other accidents of fortune." Besides the Decameron there are 185 titles in the Modern Library series, including the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, and Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham. The volumes are attractively bound in bright cloth, and are complete and unabridged. The Modern Library, New York, "NOT THE LARGEST, BUT THE BEST!" Little Rock, Ark. J. June 16, '25. Hon. Harry C.

Payne. This new type of car is capable of traveling at a high rate of speed and carries three passengers. It is mounted with a machine gun. Col. Edgar S. Stayer, commandant of Holabird quartermaster depot, and the assistant secretary of war, are inspecting the car. PREPARING AUTO FOR SUMMER USE Proper Attention Given Now Means Carefree Operation Later. After short and slow running under winter conditions a thorough checkup of the car is advisable at this time in order to guarantee a spring and summer of carefree operation. Assuming that the car has come through a winter's service in fairly good mechanical shape the service operation should proceed in this order: First, clean the engine, chassis and body thoroughly. Check to see that spring clips are tight; take up any excess play of spring shackles. Clean Steering Gear. Clean and grease steering gear; check front wheel alignment, after adjusting the wheel bearings and filling the hub caps with fresh grease; see that the nuts holding the rear, wheels to the axle are tight and fastened with a cotter pin. Drain the old oil from the transmission and rear end, and put about a quart of kerosene or flushing oil in eoth. Put a couple of handfuls of sal soda in the radiator and run the car for a few miles until it is well warmed up. The soda cleans out the scale and rust in the radiator while the kerosene will loosen and wash out the old oil in the transmission and differential. Drain these as soon as you stop, then drain the water from the radiator and flush with fresh water. Remove the cylinder head and scrape out all the carbon and grind the valves. Now a new gasget when you put back the head—it makes a better job and no chance of leaks. New rubber hose on all the water connections is well worth while, too. Fill the radiator with fresh water and start the engine. Run slowly till warmed up. Valve tappets should be adjusted, motor being warm while this is being done. Follow the manufactures recommendations for clearances. Remember that while reduced clearances may mean quieter operation, they are also a cause of burnt and warped valves. Oll the starting motor and generator, and check for proper summer charging rate, as covered by latest instructions by manufacturers of the ignition system; this may prevent a damaged battery due to overcharging on long, fast summer trips. Clean Ignition Wires. Clean off all the ignition wires and see that the contacts are tight. Clean the storage battery with ammonia water or ordinary baking soda (one teaspoonful to one cupful of water), tighten the terminals and coat them with vaseline or grease. Be sure that the battery is securely held in place. Check the liquid level and add distilled water if necessary. In the bottom of the gas tank is a small drain plug. Remove it and drain out any water or dirt that has settled at the bottom of the tank. Clean the fuel strainer and the carburetor strainer, and tighten all connections. As less fuel is required for summer driving, better check the carburetor for the most economical operation. Now we come to the finishing touches. Drain the old oil from the crankcase, flush, and fill with fresh oil. Replace the drain plugs on the differential and transmission and put in the proper amount of recommended grade of oil or gear compound. Renew the oil filter cartridge if it has been in use 10,000 miles. Clean and re-oll the air cleaner if it is the olable type. With these servicing items attended to you should have ahead of you a summer of carefree driving, free from all mechanical troubles and annoyances. New federal-aid road projects inflated by the various state highway departments during the calendar year 1980, exceeded all previous years and involved federal aid to the extent of $125,780,000 as compared to $74,616,000 in 1920. This is the result of legislation of April 4, 1930, which increased the federal participation from $75,000 to $125,000,000 for 1931, 1932 and 1933. Most of Automobiles Are America's small towns and villages own five times as many automobiles as New York, Chicago, and the rest of the so-called big cities of more than 500,000 population, according to a survey just completed by the American Research foundation. "Of a total of 23,121,589 passenger automobiles in this country at the beginning of 1930," says a bulletin summarizing the survey, "13,251,937 cars, or 57.3 per cent, were owned in towns of less than 10,000 people. "A surprising fact disclosed was that only 11.4 per cent of the nation's automobiles are owned in cities of 500,000 population and over. Yet these large cities, which aggregate more than 20 per cent of the country's population, owned only 2,635,861 cars at the beginning of 1930. "Cities of from 100,000 to 500,000 population own 11.7 per cent of the motor cars, or 2,705,226." the bulletin concludes. "Towns of from 50,000 to 100,000 own 1,388,295, or 6 per cent; those of 25,000 to 50,000, 1,640,781, or 64 per cent, and those of from 10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants, 1,653,489 automobiles."

These strips also prevent the paint from getting on the window channel, and can be used repeatedly, the coating of paint on them being removed occasionally when it gets too thick.-F. J. McGinnis, Cleveland, Ohio, In Popular Mechanics Magazine. AUTOMOBILE HINTS Traffic conditions are apparently getting worse in rural districts, but improving in urban centers. Automobiles take more lives in this country annually than all of our factories and industries combined. Child fatalities in recent years have been on the decrease, indicating that education can solves the problem. Dirty breaker points which cause the engine to miss frequently are responsible for troubles laid to the carburetor. The number of motor vehicle fatalities in the United States has increased every year since motor cars were first used. The motorist can't be too cautious, says an automobile club magazine, about the hitch-hiker he picks up along the highway. It is not always dirt on the rear window that makes the rear view mirror ineffective. Many times it is dirt on the mirror itself. It is said if a car going 265 miles an hour met the slightest irregularity in the surface of the track, such as a pedestrian, the car would be wrecked. A New York actor, leaving home found all the tires had been stripped from his machine. The sketch may be strengthened by having some one announce, "The car awaits without." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1931. STADLER EVEN THE NEW PRINT FROCKS YIELD TO CALL FOR A "TOUCH OF WHITE" AND again dots! Dotted silks, dotted nets, dotted sheer woolens, all declare that it's more of a dotted season than ever in the fabric realm. New prints sponsored for softly tailored frocks which are recommended as ideal for early summer about-town wear trend to dot effects on dark backgrounds. Quality-knid flat crepe is featured in these prints and the dots are most any size from mere pin pricks to striking polka-dot effects. Of course, black and navy predominate for the background, while a distinctly new feeling is given in brown crepe with white dots. Every really smart costume is almost sure to have white about it somewhere, if not in the accessories then incorporated into the very making of the gown, suit or coat, as the case may be. In the instance of the dress pictured, which is a very patrician model, an inset of white crepe forms a draped neckline, also neat cuffs. The sleeve is unique, being cut in squares, from elbow to wrist. With the dark print frock there is nothing smarter in the way of milli EVEN THE NEW PR TO CALL FOR A ITS the little finishing touches which count in making a dress. No one appreciates this fact so keenly as does the amateur seamstress who has undertaken to make her own "simple" dresses. Her one hope is that the frock or blouse, whichever she happens to be making, will not have a "homemade" look. To most women it is "finishing the edges" which presents the most perplexing problem. Well, why not do them the trim-stitch way? It's ever so simple when you know how. Done on your sewing machine is this neat and attractive stitching which has the effect of rows of outline embroidery. Before we tell you how to do it we would call your attention to the two perfectly charming print dresses in the picture. Our reason for thus digressing is that it may interest you to know that the graceful white crepe bertha collars which so attractively style these frocks are finished about their hemlines in the trim-stitch way. For the benefit of those who feel the urge to try this interesting experiment—here's how: You simply thread the coarsest of machine needles with a special trim-stitch thread which can be bought at almost any notion counter. Wind the same kind of thread nery than a hat of exotic straw, preferably panamalac or baka which has for its trimming a bit of colorful velvet, either ribbon or piece goods. The hat which toups the dress illustrated is navy baka with a torsade of french blue velvet extending diagonally across its off-the-face brim. The new dotted dark silks are as smart for suits as they are for frocks. The style pageant presents such arresting ensembles, for instance, as a jacket and skirt of navy and white dotted crepe, the double-breasted fastening of the former accented with white bone or pearl buttons. The blouse is white taffeta. By the way, have you heard about the white taffeta scarfs which have only just recently appeared upon the scene? They are supposed to be worn either ascot fashion or tied in a big sprightly butterfly bow. Wear one with your new suit or dotted navy frock, and "tell the world" you know "what's what" when it comes to smart accessories. CHERIE NICHOLAS (@ 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) NT FROCKS YIELD "TOUCH OF WHITE" on the bobbin, set the gauge for nine or ten stitches to the inch and sew. The thread may be in self color or it may contrast the material. A tri-color effect is suggested, that is, when there are three rows of stitching such as adorn the collar which graces the dress at the top. The fichu-like collar below shows two rows of trim-stitching, the color of the thread matched to the background of the print. In these flattering necklines the vogue for a "touch of white" is interpreted in a most affective manner. The majority of daytime frocks have dainty lingerie details about them, this season. An interesting feature about some of the smartest collar-cuff sets made either of linen, crepe, plique or organdle is that they are often finished with hand-crochet edging. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION Urge "Jim Crow Ys." (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 getting him to build new orate 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 discrimination. Many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are in trying to establish these hospitals. There is no need for them to be built, and they 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. Enclosing the son, of well-known physician F. E. Gherber has been appointed on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hospital. Young Dr. Ghee is a graduate of Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University College department. By his ability, students have 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 are allowed to work in these 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 group its trade, there is in the back-grass competency, selfishness and graft. 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 qualifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great team can be, you say, along on their "race love" to nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. "Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stenotant voice. They are not colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient habits of our people, simply to get money out of them. A very little bit of the work is done by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches.

GAZETTE who might Sub many of them are not third grade pupils in grammar schools. These race-churches, like what physicians call "race hospitals," are doing more injury to religion than help "Negro" ministers and physicians should be the equals in every way of ministers and physicians of all other races. For Building a "Chinese Wall" of "Separation, Discrimination and Segregation" Nationally—Plain Unvarnished Truth. Madison, New Jersey. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Kind Sir:—I know you are a busy man; therefore, my remarks will be brief: 1. (a) For many years I have concluded that the Julius Rosenwald system of "Christian Philanthropy" (I think that is the operating name) in erecting and maintaining schools and Y. M. C. A. buildings, exclusively "Negro," was inimical to the best interests of every community where recognized. (a) It creates, perpetuates and accentuates a class and caste spirit, un-American and directive.—Matt; 7:12; John 13: 34; Matt; 20: 8-10-12-14. (b) The cornerstone of American democracy is "an equal opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!"—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our father; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; an all, we all, our God."—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (d) It is absolutely denied in toto by Julius Rosenwald's method of charity as announced, "exclusively for Negroes." (2) Why should he endeavor to foist "exclusively Negro hospitals" in the North? Did the colored people en masse ask for this blot on the city's streets? Did the white population protest against their "colored brother" having the same disease, the same accidents and maladies they have, that "hospitals exclusively Negro" are statewide necessities? if they ultimately (if his system becomes a success) the created national, racial, religious LISTERINE THROAT TABLETS Antiseptic Prevent & Relieve Hoarseness Sore Throat Coughs (Rev.)
