Popular for Years As a Mason, Politician, Local Office-Holder, Legislator and U.S. Senator Cincinnati, O.—Bon. Wm. Wm. Copeland and his wife, Martha, many years and for half a century prominent in local Republican politics who died here, week before last, was buried in Xenia. During the Hon. Wm. Copeland. war of the rebellion, Copeland was a messenger to Gen. U. S. Grant at Vicksburg, Miss. He was our first U. s. gauger here (under President Arthur) and served two terms as a water-works surveyor in this city. He was a member of the Ohio Legislature from (his) Hampton (Maryland) in 1889, and twenty-one years was a deputy sheriff. He was a 33rd degree Mason, exceptionally well known and well liked through the state. SCORES PERRY HOWARD And His "Kidney"—"Jim-Crow Negroes, Uncle Toms"—"Who Is a Liar?" Washington, D. C.—The recent rift in the "Elks" Big Three," Wilson, Hueson and Perry Howard, legal advisor of the Elks, was caused by the latter's miserable attack on Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, as being "temperamentally unfit." Therefore, when Grand Excaled Ruin by Paul Wilson gained the role at the Elks, he many expected him to flay Howard for his very questionable action in the Howard University matter. Finley said in part: "We have been facing a crisis for 25 years. Every time we get somewhere, some mean white man or some 'jim-crow' Negro is ready to pull us down. When you find these 'back door' Negroes, the rank 'Uncle Toms' who attempt to discuss the name of Dr. Johnson, whose shoe-latch they are not worthy of touching, attempting to destroy him, I am calling upon you to defeat these low men, these mad dogs, politically, fraternally, religiously and in every other way. Dr. Johnson's 'crime' is that he spikes his pee-vee, red-blooded Negroes everythings white man wants. When a man tells you that he does not want political and social equality, he is a liar." Here Editor Wilson observed that we formerly had 3,000 clerks in the government service, but that these have dwindled to approximately less than half of that number. He ascribed this to the "Uncle Toms" and is largely right in so doing. Major Peal at Rightmire Banquet. Columbus, O. — Dr. George W. Rightmire, president of Ohio State University, has invited the $9 members of the graduating class to take dinner with him, June 6. Allen S. Peal, now doing graduate work in "Guidance," while principal of Marion Road school, this city, is our only member of the class. He will respond to the sentiment, "A Volunteer Veteran of Two Wars." / The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Save your money—if you are making any! You are going to need it, next winter, if not this summer. Why is it that bathing suits are not to be rented by the city at Gordon Park beach? They will be at all the other parks' swimming pools and Edgewater beach. Ask your "Negro" member of the city council this question. When you are refused service in a restaurant, or any other public place of accommodation, amusement, etc., in this city, The Rounder suggests that you get in touch immediately, with the editor of The Times. As you know, the father of Ohio's Civil Rights law, and can help you to get justice and your rights. The Baraca bible class, of St. John's S. S., "did itself proud" on a recent Sunday afternoon when it unveiled a good picture of the late Rev. Ira A. Collins, pastor of the church when the present edifice was built. He was sure one fine man. The Rounder knew him well and assisted him to win more than one "battle" during the trying times of the sale of the old property on what is now E. 9th St. and the purchase of the ground upon which new "St. John's" now stands in E. 40th St. During the Harris-Day contest, last year, at a meeting held at his church Rev. C. C. Aller turned to Mr. Maurice Maschke, who was seated on the platform, and said to him: "We didn't want Bundy (counsman), but you "sold" him to us, and elected him. So don't blame us as it was your fault, not ours. You gave him to us; now, you shoulder the blame." The crowd roared and Mr. Maschke he had to smile and blush. A few days ago, a friend called The Rounder's attention to the foregoing. He had forgotten it, temporarily, just like he had that famous lady threat, mentioned in this department speech. He had to keep out of the 17th ward" if he dared to go there to make a political speech. Local daily newspapers and thousands of people in this county are still "riding" Color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom because an orphan (white), age 18, two hours before she gave birth to a healthy young girl baby, was refused admittance to City Hospital, recently, and turned away when she made a public institution. This has thorously stirred up the entire community which is very properly holding Director Blossom responsible for the most disgraceful incident. His very weak attempt to explain and justify the girl's miserable mistreatment falls flat on the ears of everyone who hears it. This is the man that The Blossom Triplets' (George P. Plumb) helped to foist upon all the people he helped in community, early last year, and in so-doing broke their pledge, to do everything in their power to help oust him from office and prevent his reappointment by City Manager Daniel E. Morgan who has been mentioned as a probable candidate for mayor. Better unload that excess baggage (Blossom) now that you have a good chance to do so, Mr. Manager, just as soon as possible, or you will have to go to the orphanal goal. Dump "Dud." City Manager Morgan! "Dump" him "pronto," as they say in the "movies." He is excess baggage that is now calculated to kill not only "The Blossom Triplets" but your probable candidacy for mayor, too. When Atty, Selmo C. Glenn, as executor of the Mattie L. (Bam) Bradley estate, set the fee at $1500 to be paid the attorneys defending it in the recent Bradley will contest-case. The Rounder "sat up straight" pronto (as they say in the movies) and "took notice." Then he fell to thinking that maybe the big fee was to be split three ways, $500 each to Attorneys John P. Green, Harry L. Davis and Glenn. Even then, the fee for each seemed mighty big for the services rendered. That started The Rounder to investigating with the result that SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PARKER! THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN A DECISION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO OUR PEOPLE IN THE COURTS. Only One Justice Dissents and He a Southerner of Course—Did Not Know What Race Prejudice Meant—Just Too Bad, Wasn't It? (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J. It is very unfortunate that men, who are elevated to positions of trust and responsibility, sometimes allow their personal prejudices to interfere with meting out justice to others. A colored man in Washington, D. C. was accused of murdering a white man and was convicted of a judicial Judge would not permit counsel for defense to question the jury on their attitude towards the accused as he was of a different race. The man was convicted and an appeal taken to the U. S. Supreme Court. This court in rendering its decision sustained the contention of the lawyer for the defense and ordered a new trial. In other words, every jury has the right to be asked if it has race, class or caste prejudice. Of the nine men on the Supreme Court, two were dissenters and was the Mr. McKenna Judge. The Justice is quoted as saying: "Racial Prejudice, whatever that means." How, is it possible for any man to have lived in Tennessee and not know of "race prejudice?" In the upholding of the right to try colored people by jury and to compel that jury to state its attitude toward race prejudice, the Justice was ringing true to southern traditions which permitted Negroes to be tried in the courts of the under revolting conditions of race prejudice. The Justice was allowed to displease words of white man and he was compelled to accept whatever was given him without protest. Justice McKenna does not add to the acceptability of southern men on the U. S. Supreme Court. Very seldom can a southern white man rise above his sectional traditions, customs and prejudices and ring true to the law. There are some exceptions to this rule. Chief Justice White, a southerner, was one of the fairest men on the Supreme Court, whose rights came before him for the Justice Parker, of the federal circuit court, who was also nominated by Mr. Hoover as associate justice of the Supreme Court, but was defeated, was another like Chief Justice White, Justice Parker, over the protests and appeals of southerners to render a decision upholding their segregational "residence law," refused to heed but rendered a decision upholding the right of Negroes and whites to live on any Negroes in America, they may own property, solicited about the attitude of the men who are put forward as associate justices of the U. S. Supreme Court. The fact that eight out of nine Justices agreed that a race prejudiced jury, or juror, cannot give justice, is heartening to all he has learned that Mr. Davis was the only Bradley will attorney (named by Glenn) in the contest, and that Atty. Green, represented one of the beneficiaries (who lived in the East) and led all the way in the legal defense of the will, doing major part of the court work. For the beneficiary mentioned promised to pay on account less than $75. The Bradley estate was said to have $3500 in cash in the bank. So it seems Atty. Davis is to pocket the seemingly excessive $1500 fee, on Atty. Glenn, the executor's recommendation to the court, while Atty. Green must be satisfied with the $100 fee—if he gets the balance of it seems to the Rounder that Atty. Glenn has to Glenn a duty to perform, in all Green that they should attend to promptly. Otherwise, the $1500 fee ought to be reduced by the court to $300, or $500 at most. For several weeks The Rounder has been trying to recover from the shock sustained after reading the following by Dr. O. A. Childress who used it at a political meeting in St. Paul's Zion A. M. E. church, recently: "A great, stupendous task devolves upon me," said Dr. Childress. "It seems that for a moment eloquence has gone to sleep and cobwebs have overgrown the brain, he looked for Cicerone. My task is Herculean. It takes a man with the wisdom of Solomon, the thought of Shakespeare and the oratory of Patrick Henry to properly introduce this Friend of Man.

Justice McReynold is out of place in the company of men who feel as the eight Justices. It is very unfortunate for Mr. McReynold that he could not rise high enough to render justice to all men without regard to color or race. The courts of our land are but instruments of torture and oppression when prejudice is allowed Dr. William A. Byrd. Dr. William A. Byrd, to rule them. Not only in the south and in the District of Columbia are juries and judges but sometimes here in the North men of bitter race prejudice get on the court benches and they railroad to prison every colored man they can. In the future Negroes will be on the alert to inquire into the attitude of all Judges, from the Police Judge up to the Highest Justice in the States. Into the North have come thousands of colored people and they brought with them the handicaps given them by the prejudiced treatment, education and political handling of them. Many Judges are disposed to give these people a kick downwards. Then, too, the almost emptying of the north into Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, etc., in the winter, where the rights, lives and privileges of colored people are not considered, it is very easy to fall into the habit of thinking as the south thinks. And when this happens the next step is to do with the Negroes as the south does! The decision of Chief Justice Hughes, and his seven compatriots, is another emancipation for the Negroes everywhere. Every attorney adding our own jurisprudence to his jury has any race prejudice. It is that man receives what is due to him without regard to race or color or religion. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. sang together. I saw Thor gather in the rainbows to wrap about the dying storm, I walked with Caesar through the three parts of Gaul and I listened to Virgil when he sang his Aeneid—when I was told I was to introduce this man. The prince has come out of Egypt and no greater honor can come to anyone than the privilege of introducing this matchless statesman, this Republican whelhorse, this Friend of Man who etched his name on the parts of fame—Maurice Maschke." Among others who spoke at the meeting was Stadium Manager George H. Bender who said, in opening his talk: "If you want applesauce, get someone besides me to speak here." That was the "most unkindest" thrust, George. How could you? Raper in "The Cleveland Press." Former Indiana congressman sent to the penitentiary for selling jobs. Fool!

Ne The city administration and its City Counell—following (in the Stribling-Schmeling contract-contest of the first of the week) are pre- paring their costumes for the big holiday ceremony to be staged in Council chamber, Monday night, when they will again appear as Santa Claus, giving the poor de- luded tax-payers’ stadium (plus the concessions) to the Bradley boys’ baseball company. The lower house of the [Illinois State Assembly has passed Repre- sentative George W. Blackwell's resolution calling on President Her- bert Hoover to command the war department to discontinue, with those who leave for France, in July, its most insulting and aggravating “jim-crowing” of our Gold Star mothers. Since Mr. Hoover is to be a candidate for renomination and re-election, next year, we may ex- pect him to comply with this re- quest. Everyone of our organiza- tions, here in the North where. we can yote, ought to send the Prest- dent a similar communication, im- mediately. ‘Using all of the tax-payers" money, Richmond, Virginia, has just com- pleted a $450,000 “public” library from which our people are to be ex- cluded. In lieu of proper treatment in the library, the Richmond City Council offers to spend a paltry $15,000 on its “Negro” citizens, re- wardless of the fact, according to the 1930 census, that 52,988, or nearly one-third of the population of Richmond, are “Negroes.” Under that state's “Jim-crow” laws, our people are entitled to equal accom- modations and therefore ought to make a fight in the courts for at least one-third of $450,000, the amount used to complete the new eity library. Today colored and white workers ot N. ¥. City are staging a big pa- rade to aid the eight Scottsboro (Ala) boys sentenced, April 9, to death in the electric chair, July 10, "31, on a charge of criminal assault which “Is seriously questioned. The court house was surrounded by 10,- 000 persons and 1000 soldiers. To- morrow (Sunday) in the same city @ protest mass meeting will be held against the legal lynching of the boys. “Funds are being raised in different parts of the country to finance an appeal, to the highest court, if necessary, in an effort to save their lives. Some if not all of the boys are innocent of the crime charged. Nineteen southerners (white) living in New York City have telegraphed the governor of Alabama urging a new trial for the eight unfortunate lads who were evidently “framed.” wi SAVE, SAVE, SAVE! ‘The present outlook is that next winter will be even “harder” for poor folk than last winter. The weather, we have been having for several weeks at least, will permit “outside work,” and has been such for several weeks, and still there are no indications of any consider- able start of the 114 billion dollars (or something akin to that) ted. eral, state and municipal public work that was assembled (on pa- per), many months ago, at Presi- dent Hoover's request. Therefore, it behooves our people particularly, ‘and all poor folk generally, to be careful of their money and save a ‘part of it for the future, every time they get any. If this Is not done, {t's going to be “just too bad” (and worse) for many, next winter. Stop buying “stock” —_(“co-operating,” “being loyal,” ete., ete.), purchasing autos, radios, pianos, victrolas, frigidaires and other electric re- frigerators and equipment even if Joining lodges, societies, ete., even if it does cost only 50 gents or a dol- lar to join. You are going’to need, and sorely, too, that 50 cents or a dollar, next winter, to buy food, pay rent, and get things you need to wear, even if you do not need them now. And many are already sulfer- ing for food, coal, clothes, medt- cines and other necessaries of life, ‘and facing an economic condition that bids fair to be worse this fall and winter than last. There is every indication of this, we regret to say. So do not be foolish and allow yourself to be “talked” into any- thing but, saving for the future. If you do, you will awaken when it is too late, and then it will be “just too bad” for you and those depen- dent upon you. “WHITE SUPREMACY!" A situation is arising which will climinate world predominance of the white race within 50 years, ac- cording to Dr. Herbert A. Miller (white), professor of sociology at Ohio State University, Columbus, who spoke in Cleveland, last week Friday, at the first meeting of the Cleveland Interracial Council, at the Chamber of Commerce. “Since the World war we have discovered that this no longer is exclusively a white man’s world,” Dr. Miller said. “The theory that one race is supe- rior to another is a myth, without one scientific thing on which to stand.” The council, which is com- posed of 58 citizens of both races, was formed by our local Welfare Association, Rev. W. B. Suthern and Wm. R. Conners, president and executive secretary, _ respectively. Appellate Judge Manuel Levine pre- sided. A committee was announced to perfect the organization. On this committee, as announced, was one Dr. “Jasper” A. Owen. Who's “‘Jas- per?” Surely it cannot be our “Lit- tle Jimmie" Owen! = “DROP PREJUDICE.” Just before the Hollenden hotel went into the hands of a receiver, recently, Theodore DeWitt, mana- ger, arranged with the striking cooks, waiters and waitresses of that hotel to return, after being out nearly ten months. They were to get their old positions back displac- ing their colored and white succes- sors. The striking employees made concessions in the matter of pay, ete. to regain their old positions. ‘The other five or six leading local hotels, to date, have steadfastly re- fused to follow the lead of DeWitt of the Hollenden, and we trust will not do so until the local cooks, walt- ers and waitreises union of the American Federation of Labor drops {its prejudice and admits to full and unrestricted membership in the same union their Afro-American successors in the employ of the ho- tels in question. The controversy, we feel sure, can be “settled satis- factorily if both sides are willing to drop prejudice and negotiate, like sensible men,” says The Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer, and The Ga- zette quite agrees with it. Preju- dice is the very foundation-stone of the whole controversy, as well as the cooks’, waiters’ and waitresses’ union, Remove it, and all will be on: WILL BE RE-ELECTED. Finkle, DeMaioribus, Jones, Sacks, Trinastic and Walz, the six council- men who refused to be Santa Claus to the promoters of the Stribling- Schmeling prize-fight, soon to be held in the stadium, are entitled to a great deal of credit for their sin- core efforts to keep the contract the city entercd into in order to secure the disgraceful affair for Cleveland. If these gentlemen had succeeded in their efforts Cleveland would get at least $75,000 more than it will re ceive under the provisions of the contract as it stood after Council meeting, Monday night. It was this large sum of money which Finkle rightfully contended should be paid to the city and which he and his colleagues mentioned above, fought for to the very last. Its acquisition would have helped the city to put some of the thousands of unem- ployed to work, Mr. Finkle wisely said. Chicago wanted $250,000 to take on the fight and was offered $150,000. They can’t fight in New York as Schmeling is barred there and I know we can get $100,000 if we fight for it,” said Councilman Finkle. Santa Claus won and the poor tax-payers of this city lost at least $75,000. For his efforts trying to protect the city’s Interest, the ever- inconsistent Plain Dealer (Dem.) ‘s THE GAZETT®, CLEVELAND, 0., —<$<—<—— ie asking that Finkle be defeated, next fall, a thing which cannot be done] 4s the people, espectaily ours, of his | ward and the rest of the third dis-| trict know him to be the best rep-| resentative of the poor people of | ; this eity ever to sit in Cleveland's | OR ANT city council.

Butler of the U. 8. marines, who was in Haiti when more than 2,500 natives were killed because they opposed the unconstitutional “American Oc- cupation” of their little republic, has met more than his match in the Hon. Dantes Bellegarde, Haitian minister to the United States. All Haitians, including Prof. Julian Hib- belt of Howard University, Wash- ington, D. C., who ought to know, agree that no “Fort Riviere” ever existed in the island as Gen. Butler and a few of his marines are alleged to have captured at great risk in 1915, and for which he was granted @ second medal of honor by the Congress of the United States. Dr. Hibbeit was, until about a year ago. a high government official in his native country. Then too, this coun- try was never at war with Haiti but was only invoking its “benevolent assimilation” in part, after a fash- jon. It seems that our state depart- ment has just closed the contro- versy, after thoroly investigating Minister Bellegarde’s statement and those of other prominent Haitians to the effect that no Fort Riviere ever existed in the island of Haiti.

Business concerns find that the telephone saves them from 10 to 50 times what it costs—in some cases, even more. It saves money and makes money for them. In the home, the telephone is ready to serve every member of the family 24 hours a day. It helps the housewife with her marketing and in bringing every kind of service toherdoors, le keeps harinitouch with friends and members of the family who are absent.

There Were not more of our group in at- tendance because few knew of the concert. This, the result of the failure to properly advertise it in our newspapers.

Especially beautiful were the two spirituals; ‘John, The Revelator,” and “My Soul Is’ a Witness;" solos by David Collins, baritone, Luther King, tenor, who is a Gleveland voy, and Mr. Hemingway, accom- panist. ‘The following, by Prof. James H.

The first one occurred before Thompson won the title from Jackie Fields more than a year ago. Thompson's title was not on the block, however, as he forced Lawless to come in over the limit. The record was 11,240, but was somewhat of a surprise to ringside experts who figured the sharp-punching champ had gained a distinct edge in seven of the 10 rounds. Lawless weighed 148 and "Thompson 147 pounds." 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, altho neither had experience.

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 inpatient required a brief and unrequited 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 frightening fact, the Welfare' greet 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 process to include the fact that he is in maintaining an institution of mercy at great expense to themselves the taxpayers cannot tolerate its administration by brutal and indifferent officials."

They rendered 'Steal Away to Jesus' with such feeling that Beecher asked them to come down in front of the pulpit, where they sang several other numbers."

The new device can be installed in any car without changing the motor. Two hundred twenty pounds of wood, it is said, is enough to propel a car for about 60 miles. A bus which has been equipped with an Imbert wood generator is shown. It may be seen beside the driver's seat. SAVING WEAR ON YOUR MOTOR CAR Oil Filter Prevents Foreign Matter Mixing With (By the SERVICEMAN) (by the SERVICE MAN) Today I am going to tell you about a device that saves wear and makes cars run better. And I am going to tell you something more important—how to take care of this device properly. Because if you don't you won't enjoy its full benefits. This device is the oil filter. It prevents foreign matter, such as dust, grit and sand from mixing with the oil. Oil Filter Described. To vividly describe an oil filter is to compare it with the way a housewife makes grape jelly. She crushes and cooks the grapes, after which they are put in a fresh, clennd cloth. Then she strains the juice of the berries through this cloth into a pan. The cloth retains all of the skins, seed and pulp, leaving the pure juice to drain into the receptacle. This straining makes the jelly clear and free from impurities. As the straining process continues the cloth becomes so full of residue that it ceases to act as a strainer, and another clean cloth is used. In principle, straining fruit is very much like filtering oil. The oil filter strains the oil and when the filtering bag, or cartridge, becomes filled with abrasive matter, such as sand and hard pieces of carbon, it is necessary to replace the filter cartridge so the filter will work at its highest efficiency. Limit Filtering Area. While the principle of straining fruit juices and of straining oil is similar, there is a vast difference in the methods. In straining the fruit juice the free flow of juice diminishes almost immediately after the process begins, soon merely draining through. That is because the filtering area of the cloth is limited. With the oil filter the oil is filtered progressively and through a filtering area of as much as 600 square inches. The filter functions at high efficiency until every inch of the filtering area has been finally filled with residue, which occurs about every 10,000 miles of driving. Then it is that the oil filter cartridge should be deplaced, which will make the oil filter as good as new again, and ready for 10,000 more miles of service. Weak Valve Springs Is Cause of Noisy Action Nolsy valve action at high speed may be due to several causes, and the one usually suspected—expansion of the stems—is less common than generally believed. Often when the car is running faster the engine operates cooler. A less commonly considered cause of valve noise at speed is weakness of the valve springs. Unless the springs are strong enough they will not close the valves properly, resulting in much the same situation one finds where there is sticking of valve stems. Often valve springs are subject to eccentricities, one of the commonest of which is "duttering." Anything on this order has the same effect on valve operation as weakness of the springs. Insufficient lubractalion may also cause valve noise, especially if the oil pressure is too low. Most owners would hardly suspect that the racket from the valves could originate with an oil pump that needs attention. Watch Instrument Board to Avert Any Accident The instrument board is a bulletin board and the constantly changing reports it brings from various vital parts of the car should be of the greatest interest to the driver. This is the best argument that can be mustered against the practice of some individuals who drive with the dash light turned off. This light, now indirect on a majority of makes of cars, offers no obstacle in the way of glare that cannot be overcome with ease. The light never should be off at night. Plugs Most Logical How to keep motors that have a tendency to "pump oil" running well has long been a problem with repairmen. In nearly every instance, new spark plugs are fouled up with in a short time after installation. As a solution carbon proof spark plugs are the most logical type to use for such engines. These plugs have what is known as a carbon proof insulator, with a series of high temperature fins girdling the lower end. The fins attain sufficient heat to burn off any deposits of soot or oil, thus of offering effective resistance to carbon troubles. They assist quick starting, and resist the greasy smoke that quickly coats the smooth surface porcelain when rich mixtures are used, or the choke used to any extent. ```markdown ``` Emergency Brake Light With Unique Feature Here is an emergency brake indicator light with a novel feature. The ordinary method of hooking up such a light has one serious defect. If you forget to turn off the light when you leave the car, the light may run down your battery. By taking the current supply from the generator instead of from the battery wiring, the light will burn only while the motor is running and the emergency brake is set.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1931 BRIMS, FLOWERS AND BOWS PROMISE MILLINERY THAT'S "REAL MILLINERY" L COAT AND BERET SETS OF GAY TWEED CHIC FOR TRAVEL AND TOWN WEAR M STANDS now the world of fashion at the threshold of an era of brims as graceful and as picturesque as fancy 'eer picture. Summer afternoons will find the fair sex looking its loveliest in airy, dainty dresses topped by millinery of the flattering type pictured. In the array of entrancing new models which are wide of brim, hats of sheer and lace straw predominate. These are manipulated ingeniously, which lends to their fascination. Note the beguiling black lace straw model at the top of the group pictured. It is typical of that which is to be during the coming months. It is set back from the face vin a bandeau in very sophisticated fashion. The white flower-like pompon at one side of the underbrim adds charm to the picture. A perfect hat, this, to top the black lace frock with which it is worn. There's no doubt about the hats that are coming being the kind women love to wear. The demure malden to the left in the picture seems to say in her self-complacent pose that she has found the very hat she wanted. We are sure that you will agree with her that the shapely leghorn which tops her curly coiffure is exactly her type. Which good fortune, by the way, extends to all this season—that of being able to find millinery tuned to the features, the hair and the complexion of the individual. We would call attention to the two velvet bows which weight this graceful leghorn brim down on one side. COAT AND BERET SET CHIC FOR TRAVEL NEER has fancy pictured or genius devised a more practical and smart-looking outfit for the feminine globetrotter than the coat and beret set which is made of handsome matching tweed. Go motoring, go traveling by train, or aboard steamship or hiking along picturesque paths or dashing hither and thither about town, if you are asking "what to wear" as to look swagger and well-groomed from morning to night, the answer is given in the coat-and-hat set which is here pictured. The new tweeds of which this coat-and-beret ensemble and those of a similar type are fashioned are indescribably soft and agreeable to the touch, being of a spongy, porous weave which makes them delightfully wearable. Their color schemes are no small part of their glory. The tweed illustrated is in black, white and red. The manner in which the colors are handled in the bright tweeds which are now so voguish is most interesting. Usually there are three colors, one color being given predominance. In these combinations, brown effects are greatly stressed since fashion attaches such importance to brown both for spring and the summer season. Such alliances as brown with beige or white together with orange or navy are exploited. Tweeds of a green tone Your Copy or an Acqu They carry an important message in that they emphasize a vogue which is outstanding this season—that of a touch of velvet on the chapeau. Your milliner will tell you that velvet ribbon is a very smart trimming. The black-and-white formula is carried out "to the queen's taste" in the final model of this enchanting millinery trio. It is a thin white hair body, its generously wide brim and crown elaborated with a floral patterning traced with delicate embroidery done with strands of silky black straw. There is a bandeau of white velvet ending in a fattering bow at one side. Everywhere in the realm of hats there is rejoicing in that millinery is "real millinery," this season. Flowers, ribbons and feathers say that it is. The early spring fashions have come as a prologue to a flowery program which not only promises flowers on mindy's chapeau, but adorable details are planned, such as trimming the neckline or the edge of a little shoulder cape with flowers to match those on the hat. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) TS OF GAY TWEED L AND TOWN WEAR are highlighted also in late modes. In the styling of the tweed travel coat, slenderizing lines are adhered to and the belt of self-tweed is seldom omitted. Often a jaunty capetet is added which is that shallow it drops just over the top of the sleeves. Adjustable scarf collars and ever necklines also individualize the tweed coats, which being made entirely of self-fabric are in a class all their own. To take the place of fur fashion looks to the silk scarf of lively color to wear about the neck. The smartest way is to tie it close up about the throat in ascot fashion, and even newer is the scarf tied in a sprightly buttery bow. As to gloves, footwear and handbag, these accessories are depended upon to accent the color scheme. CHERIE NICHOLAS, (© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) py of The aint ance w COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND Y. M. C. A.'s HERE IN THE NORTH, DENOUNCED! 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 to get him to build aparate 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 separate hospitals. There is no need for them to be treated, because they should know that they are just as unacceptable as their "race hospital ideas" are. It is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "jim-crow" hospitals. They have the technical 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 trade, there is in the back-background incompetence, 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 "Ys" among men of standing and first-class qualifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other HAMS (HSU) men, on the great number of persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stenotant voice and a lack of color. The 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 body of them is our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and Billions Ch are credited every ye of that inimitable sty ings whose character fused with those of an RUBE Billions of Chuckles are credited every year to the inventor of that inimitable style of comic drawings whose characters are never confused with those of any artist other than MILK CO. Watch For Them! GAZETTE who might Su 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 the 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) 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 in M. C. A. buildings, exclusively "Negative" in the best interests of every community where recognized. (a) It creates, perpetuates and accentuates a class and caste spirit, un-American and directly opposed to principles of Christianity.—Matt. 7:12; John 1:33; 4:34; Matt. 11:16; John 11:16; the best stone of American democracy can 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; and all, we are brethren!"—Gal. 3:26; Julius Rosenwald's method of charity 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 upon their American citizenship? 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? (3) Does he not see ultimately (if his system becomes a success) the created national, racial, religious society (Chinese wall) or separation, discrimination and segregation that will be erected and enforced (in a spiteful spirit) by both peoples of our American civilization?—Gal. 6:7.
