Cassey, recently appointed a clerk in the Wayne county (Detroit) treasurer's office, on recommendation of our State Senator Charles A. Roxborough, is one of our three employees of that office, Arthur Palmer, former Cleveland, being one. Ferdinand Q. Morton, our N. Y. City civil service commissioner, is severely criticized as the result of a charge of "levying heavy tributes" on that city's Afro-American Democratic employees, to help maintain the "United Colored Democracy" of N. Y. City. In a recent address in Oakland, Calif., Walter H. Loving, well-known U. S. A. leader of the Philippine constabulary band, named Afro-American composers, ranking them in the order named: Harry T. Burleigh, Will M. Cook, Rosamond Johnson and Nathaniel Dett. The Mutual Standard bank, of Louisville, Ky., was closed for liquidation by the State Bank commission, recently. The Mutual was a merger of our First Standard and American Mutual Savings banks, opening its doors in January after the two institutions named had been closed since Nov. 17, '30. Assemblyman James E. Stephens (Afro-American Democrat) of Harlem, N. Y. City, introduced a bill in the New York Legislature which made it a violation of the law for utility companies to refuse employment to any people because of race. The bill was defeated by one vote. All Democratic assemblymen voted for it; hence it was defeated by the Republican assemblymen. Was Short $19,000. Chicago, Ill.—Oliver E. Robinson, former secretary of the Pullman Porters Benefit association, was found guilty by a jury, recently, on charges of embezzlement and was sentenced to a term of from one to 14 years in Joliet penitentiary. He had been secretary of the association since 1922 and received a salary of $240 a month. He is said to have frequented the race tracks and ball parks. FRED'K. LOUDIN IN NATION'S CAPITAL. His Jubilee Singers Captivate the Great Southern Leader, Alexander H. Stephens—Baneful Prejudice. Under the heading, "IN THE GOOD OLD DAY—21 years ago," the Ravenna (O.) Evening Record of March 28, '31, carried the following of special interest to our readers: A letter from Frederick J. Loudin, noted bass singer and business A. B. manager of the famous Loudin Jubilee Singers, was published in the Republican-Democrat, for which he worked when a young man. He was in Washington with his trump, and wrote of audiences with President Rutherford B. Hayes and Alexander H. Stevens, southern leader and at that time a Senator from the state of Georgia. He was given a special tour to the senator, before the senator, and at the close of the hour, had the pleasure of listening to high words of praise from the great southerner. "I shall remember the visit with great pleasure," he said to Mr. Loudin. "I have always been a firm believer in popular education, and even before emancipation I advocated it for your people to a certain extent. I still believe it is essential to the elevation of not only your business but all your wish you great success even greater than you have had," he added. Mr. Loudin said that he and his troup looked in vain for hotel accommodations in Washington, and that after one hotel after another had refused them, the National Hotel, Democratic headquarters, opened its doors to them. Jubilee Singers spent several of their nights at Mr. Loudin's native Ravenna, where he built the home now owned by County Recorder A. B. Lozier, to which he gave the name of "Otira." SOUTH CAROLINA LED OHIO In the Way It Handled the "Barber Bill"—a story of a widow fossilizes a Lonch-Murder Columbia, S. C.—Because of the lynching of Allen Green, a member of the race, near Walhalla a few years ago, the county of Oceane must pay to the widow the sum of $2,000 plus cost and interest under a ruling handed down in the state supreme court, May 15, '31. M. L. Bonham, associated justice, granted a petition for a mandamus, instructing the county officials to place $2,000, plus costs and interest, in the next county appropriation bill for Green's widow. He pointed to the case as a viable under the anti-lynching law of this state, for not less than $2,000 when one is taken from the custody of the sheriff and lynched. Killed Barber Bill. Recent Barber Bill. The recent Legislature killed a barber bill that included one Ohio Governor had to veto, recently, because the Legislature of that state enacted it. The Hon. E. L. Fishburne of Colleton, this state, in discussing the bill in the lower house of the South Carolina State Assembly said, among other things, that he felt he could safely say that nineteenth of the barbers did not want it. He claimed it would throw out of employment the small town barber and the "cross roads" barber. "In five years or less," he said. "I there were no, no, a reputable barber catering to white trade in South Carolina." And that settled it. So you see this state "is keeping step with Ohio in two important matters of welfare to all citizens. An evidence of the effect of educational progress." "The Hairy Ape" Closes. London, England. — Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Hairy Ape," has been withdrawn after only five performances because of the illness Paul Robson who takes the leading role in the play is stricken with laryngitis. O, wh. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS REPEL ATTACK ON JAIL FOLLOWING WHICH THE TWO SUSPECTS WERE TAKEN TO ANOTHER CITY FOR INCARCERATION. Nearly Two Thousand in the Crowd That Attempted to Storm the Jail—One Dead and Other Mobo-crats Seriously Wounded—Dynamite Exploded. Elberton, Ga.—One mobocrat was near death, Tuesday, and others lay seriously wounded after national guardsmen had fired a volley into a crowd of nearly 2000 would-be lynchers who attempted to storm the jail here, bound on getting two "Negroes" only suspected of rape of a woman (white). Glen Cryder was reported in a precarious condition. Physicians held little hope for his recovery. Emory Edwards, age 26, was being treated for rife wounds. The national guardsmen were forced to fight against them against the jail wall, their officers said. Arrival of a howitzer HEAR! HEAR!! M WHAT'S DOING! 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 Gazette. He is, as you know, the father of Ohio's Civil Rights law, and can help you to get justice and your rights. We hope the board of education doesn't dismiss, or fail to reappoint, the married daughter as his would prove very disastrous to a group of our "outstanding" professional men, causing them to close their offices and lose their machines (autos). They could not live (as they do, particularly these days) as doctors and attorneys without "the other half" help. They would be forced to get a job and go to work. The terrific beating, given Wm. L. Thomas, 2196 E. 971th St., and Palmer Boyd, 2219 E. 101st St., as they were on their way home from the recent Fisk Jubilee Singers' concert, in the Second Cong. church, by Zone Cab taxi drivers and their friends and sympathizers, ought to mean something to our people, until the Zone Cab Co. straightens out that tangle, either voluntarily or as a result of court action. But does it? Our people are among the best paying patrons of this company. The speaker at St. James forum, last Sunday afternoon, was former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, who spoke on the "Test of Democracy." Either before or after Hopkins' address the pastor of the church is the director D. S. Blossom was "doing all people wanted," or words to that effect, "This is not true, whether Ormond Walker made the statement or anyone else. To all persons ministers and laymen, particularly Jim-crow, Negroes" and W. F. N. S. The Crower most earnestly comments the following paragraph from a recent issue of The Pittsburgh Courier: "Dudley S. Blossom (white), welfare director of Cleveland, O., is authority for the statement that as long as I am welfare director of this city, no Negro boy or girl will be permitted to train in the City hospital." No rank southerner could have been more prejudiced, which is ample and convincing proof that the South has moved to the North. Despite this remark of Blossom's, he was recently invited by a colored bastard of the South to a meeting of colored people held in the pastor's church. And the church members attended the meeting and listened to the address like the THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS MOB! TACK ON JAIL THE TWO SUSPECTS WERE NOTHER CITY FOR CERATION. In the Crowd That Attempted to the Dead and Other Mobo- ously Wounded— ite Exploded. company from Monroe, Ga., to augment two companies of local troops, seemed to increase the fury of the mob. Explosion of a stick of dynamite in a vacant lot near the jail caused officials to double the guard about the jail, fearing an attempt to blast it. The mob began to form when it learned that Sheriff S. B. Moore had taken the prison to custody after an all-night search after the alleged attack, Sunday night. Following the effective display of determination on the part of the militiamen, the crowd subsided, of course. The two prisoners were then removed to Atlanta, under troop escort. dumb, brutal brutes that they were. What is the need for any white man to be our friend, when we accord all honor and respect to those whom we know to be our enemies?" "FORT RIVIERE"! Never Anything of the Kind in Haiti D. Butler Given Medal for his Sportsmanship New York City.—A fortnight ago, the Haitian minister at Washington, D. C., the Hon. Dantes Bellegarde, was asked to explain a statement credited to him wherein he criticized Gen. Smedley D. Butler of the U. S. marine corps, as the recipient of a Congressional medal, awarded for the capture of a fort (which did not exist) during the American Occupation of Haiti in 1916. We have examined a few Haitian textbooks, and fifteen maps of the republic and what has not been located. What now is the An assistant secretary of the U. S. Navy has said in an interview: "I have seen it myself, on a visit I paid to Haiti, a few months after the marines had taken possession. It stands frownning on the summit of a mountain, some 4000 feet high, a very old solid stone fort, from 150 to 200 feet square. Its massive walls had withstood the ravages of time and many sieges in wonderful man, it seemed to me." Will Roger, who visited him, he "viewed it afterwards from an alplane." But Lieut. Col. Chandler Campbell of the marine corps says: "Fort Riviere is not in Haiti any more because after the engagement we buried about sixty Haitians in the center of the fort, and then I blew up the walls with forty cases of dynamite, so that we wouldn't have to take it again. Fort Riviere was the only masonry fort—the others are made of cheese—in Haiti, and was located on Monts Noirs." My refuse to make further comment. Jean G. Lamothe, Sec. Gen., Haitian Patriotic Union.

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1931. "Negro" newspapers, publishing "His Excellency, Dantes Bellegarde, minister plenipotentiary of Haiti to the U. S." give all a "pain" with the use of the word, "Excellency, as a prefix to his name. The Gazette extends its sinceres congratulations to the daughter and parents, and just as sincere commiseration to Wm. R. Hopkins, former city manager of Cleveland and to one Dudley S. Blossom, director of welfare of the city of Cleveland, still in charge of Cleveland City Hospital, we regret to say. Miss Naomi was at one time employed in the office of The Gazette. --- The American Civil Liberties Union (white) has just called President Hoover's attention to the fact that his administration is not "replacing American officials in Haiti with natives" and is not "removing the U. S. marines from that country" as recommended by his Haitian Commission, of some months ago. While the N. A. A. C. P. "sleeps soundly," the Civil Liberties Union (white) acts for it. Good thing for the Haitians, to say the least. Settling civil rights cases out of court is only a partial success and does not do our people of the community much if any good, as a rule. A conviction in court of the persons, discriminating illegally against our people, is a full victory and the kind we ought to have in every case because the publication of the fact in the daily newspapers of the community will benefit most, all of our people of that community. A settlement out of court is rarely ever given the publicity necessary to do us even a little good. The rare exception to this rule are the two cases settled, last week, at Xenia, referred to elsewhere in this paper. BLOSSOM 'VICTIM COMES THRU. Miss Naomi Laura Fears, '3308 E. 130th St., this city, was one of the twenty-seven recent graduates from the school of nursing of Harlem hospital, N. Y. City. Graduation exercises, May 13, '31, at New Mother Zion A. M. E. church, that city. A reception followed the exercises. Miss Fears and her parents are entitled to a great deal of credit, the latter because of the expense they were unnecessarily compelled to go to, for several years, in order to give their daughter the training she has received. BARRED from our local City hospital by the Hopkins-Blossom edict that no "Negro" boy or girl should train in that public institution, Miss Naomi was compelled to leave her mother and home and go away down to New York City, hundreds of miles away, in order to be able to enter Harlem hospital's school of nursing where she has studied faithfully and successfully for several years. MISSOURI'S MOB VIOLENCE BILL The governor of Missouri has veeted the anti-lynching bill, passed by the Legislature of that state, last week, giving as his excuse for so-doing that its provisions were not drastic enough and insisting that laws against mobs and lynchings, to be effective, must have "mere teeth." The foregoing is true and yet we cannot repress the feeling that the governor was only using his objections to the bill to kill it. It is true that it contained no provision for the automatic removal of a sheriff who allowed a prisoner to be taken from him, or his jail. Neither did it hold the county liable in any sum to the prisoner, or heirs of the victim, for mob-violence or lynch-murder, but only provided that in case of the conviction of mobbocrats there should be imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding $5000, or both. The bill did say, however, that any state or municipal officer "acting as such officer under authority of state law" who permitted a prisoner to be taken from him or his custody for the purpose of being injured, or put to death without authority of law, "would be guilty of a felony, and those who so conspired, combined or confederated with such officer should likewise be guilty of a felony." Punishment: life or not less than five years. There was enough good in the bill, as a law, to make it infinitely preferable to no such law at all. That is why we feel that Gov. Caulfield was simply "sidestepping" when he vetoed the bill and was not opposing it for the reason or reasons stated. All of which is to be deeply regretted.

Jesse Owens of East Tech, who won three events two weeks ago, in the Lakewood relays, again gave a very creditable performance last Saturday. The star won the 100-yard dash and broad jump, took second in the 220-yard dash and third in the high jump. In Class B competition, the Oberlin 880-yard relay team, consisting of Fields, Parkhurst, Barnes and Gorden, helped their team to victory by winning their event over the favored Mentor outfit. Robbed of the Decision: Robbett of the Decision. Old-time fans who sat close to the ring, here in this city at the Equestrian, last week Friday night, marvelled at the skill of Jack and Vey of New York City to block and punch punches thru eight holes round with his opponent (Anderson) and were staggered when the Kentuckian (white) was given the decision in the ten-round bout because McVey had "loafed in the last few rounds." He had piled up such a commanding lead early by beating Anderson to every punch known to boxing and had him bleeding freely from cuts over both eyes. This, too, in the face of the fact that both spectators and officials were thoroly disgusted with Anderson's striking low in the first two rounds until the referee had to warn him that he would toss him out of the contest without pay if he continued to alm his punches below the belt. The hottest rounds were the sixth and the eighth, McVey going for Anderson and Anderson the latter. That Jack and seven rounds easily, was the consonance of those who witnessed the flap. The show was another financial flop, only a few more than one thousand attending. The gate receipts were announced as $899. A few more of the too many such raw decisions ought to kill the fight game in Cleveland. College Graduate, a Janitor. Richmond, Ky.—C. H. Rankin, age 63, for 32 years a janitor at the local postoffice, received notice from the government on April 30 that he had been retired on a pension. He entered the service in 1898. Mr. Rankin is a former student at Beaumont college, a graduate of Knoxville college, a graduate of the Cincinnati school of embalming. He is a 33d degree Mason and was presented a gold Masonic watch fob by the employees of the Richmond postoffice. In the future he will be in the employ of Rankin & Rankin, local undertakers. Denounces American Legion Official Tueson, Ariz.—National Commander Ralph O'Neill of the American Legion heard himself branded as being unworthy of the high position he holds by a committee made up of members of the Charles Young post after Mr. O'Neil failed to thwart a segregation move instigated by prejudiced members of a local post which was tendering a banquet in honor of the national commander as the Santa Rita hotel. An Appreciation. Trenton, N. J.—Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall of Washington, D. C., a patient at Walter Reed hospital there and a veteran of the Spanish-American and World wars, is here in this city with relatives, convalescing. The captain received a letter, recently, from the Hon. Percival Choby, secretary of the department of finance, republic of Haiti, thankful for assistance in the interest of Haiti ever since his return to this country. Capt. Marshall was a member of the American Legation in Haiti for years, even at that time showing that "blood is thicker than water." Good! Lient. Gov. the Speaker Dayton, O.—Hon. Wm.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1931 MOTORIST TRACED BY BELL SYSTEM TELEPHONE LINES MOTORIST TRACED BY BELL SYSTEM TELEPHONE LINES Wires Kept Hot Until Idaho Man Is Located in Wyoming A woman died suddenly in New Richmond, O. Her son, traveling by automobile "somewhere in Colorado or Wyoming," was reached by telephone in three hours and five minutes. Traffic officials of The Cincinnati and Suburban Bell Telephone Co., at 10:10 one morning were asked to locate Robert A. Davis, Jr., driving a Cadillac car with an Idaho license somewhere between Kansas City and Nampa, Idaho. It was thought that Mr. Davis would be within a 300 mile radius of Denver. The telephone company first checked all Denver hotels and those along the highway into Denver. Then the circle was widened and at Laramie, Wyo., a garage reported that Mr. Davis had left there at 7:30 o'clock that morning. The garage furnished the car's license number. This was at 12:45 p. m. Stop for Lunch At 1:20 p. m. it was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Davis had stopped for lunch at a filling station near Rock Springs, Wyo. At 1:40 p. m. a filling station attendant 25 miles west of Rock Springs saw a car bearing an Idaho license draw up to his tanks. He read the numbers, then approached the driver. "Are you Mr. R. A. Davis of Nampa?" he asked. "Yes." "You are being called by the telephone company's Denver office." Three hours after the call was placed, Mr. Davis was back at Rock Springs talking to his father in New Richmond, O. 'PHONE SAVES FEET Jacob Rhoads, construction superintendent at the London prison farm, refused to stop working when his-foot was injured recently. Instead, he directed construction work at the farm over a telephone line installed between his home and the farm by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Literally mountains of telephone poles are placed and 12 miles of telephone wire added daily in the Bell System. A Tooth for A Telephone Again papa's telephone was out of order. Little Miss X, two years old, could not understand it. Nor could she understand what her papa told the telephone company—and perhaps it was just as well. Within two weeks, the telephone of a Springfield patron of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company went "blah" three times. Each time the trouble was discovered in the receiver cord and each time a new cord was installed. Earl Yeazell, a telephone worker, was stumped. Like the little girl, he was at a loss to determine the cause, but he began investigating. Mistress X, he found, was cutting her teeth by chewing on the receiver cord. After all, telephone service in Springfield, or the United States, or even to far-away lands across the sea, was as nothing to Miss X compared to the appearance of a new tooth. Yeazell told her father that telephone cords are not very durable as teething rings, however palatable. Subscribe Now YOU KNOW ME. AL At Sea; S. S. Berengaria Friend AI.

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, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the access advantages, facilities or privileges 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 fifty dollars and proceeds dollars to the person 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 in 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. A. New Opera.

Elderly Woman Has First 'Phone Talk ® Mrs Gallagher at the telephone N these days of advancement, 50 years ago when it is hard to visualize one who Graham Bell first bi has never used the telephone, but occasionally such a person is found whose life has been spent in remote places where modern methods of communication are practically unknown. Mrs. Mary Gallagher, a lively little Scotch lady of 84 years, used the telephone for the first time in Cleveland recently. Being unfamiliar with the instrument, her situation was somewhat like that of the people of Salem more than VOICE BETRAYS MARIA'S COLD Miss Maria Morales had a cold. Her mother knew she had a cold even though it was not as chilly in Chile as it was in Oxford, O., where Maria is attending Western College. The mother's ear, 7,100 miles from the daughter's voice, was able to distinguish a huskiness in the voice during a recent transoceanic conversation between the mother in Chile and the daughter in Oxford. The circuit between the two points was established via wires of the Bell System to New York, thence by radio telephone over the ether to South America, Clearness of the transmission was illustrated in the accuracy of the mother's diagnosis of the daughter's cold. 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 universal immanu- lation and a winning social rights treaty. 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 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. 50 years ago when Alexander Graham Bell first brought forth his invention. Mrs. Gallagher had come from her home in the Pennsylvania mountains to visit her niece in Cleveland. She thought the telephone a bit puzzling, but after a few moments in which to adjust herself to the new experience, found herself talking very naturally into the instrument in response to the voice that came to her through the receiver. FASHIONS FOR THE SMART WOMAN Prepared Especially for This Newspaper PICTORIAL REVIEW 5541 FOR THE JEUNE FILLE Never have we seen a more gracious frock for the young girl than this one. Its obvious daintiness is solely its tits, and this is quite devoid of trimming. It is a beautiful frock which extends over the curve of the shoulder is very appealing. It has grace and freedom of movement in the circular skirt joining the hip-yoke in pointed seaming, with an applied front yoke tied at the center in a casua knot. Sleeves in this sketch must be bustier in the flares. It is a suitable and charming frock for any young girl or small woman. It's very smart with yoke and arm flares made of lace, and triple georgette used for the rest of the frock.

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 application for admittance to that public institution. This has thorny issues, but the end is easy, 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, Payne and Bundy) helped to foist upon all the people of this community, early last year, and in so-doing with the girl, in their power to help oust him from office and prevent his reapointment 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 never be able to reach the mayoralty goal. Dump "Dud," City Manager Morgan! "Dump" him "promised" as he sees the man. He is excess baggage that is now called to kill not only "The Blossom Triplets" but your probable candidacy for mayor, too. Dudley S. Blossom (white), well fare director of Cleveland, O., is authority for the statement that "As long as I am amwell director of this city, no Negro boy or girl will be permitted to train in the City hospital." No rank southern could have been more prejudiced, which is ample and convincing proof that the South has moved to North. He wrote this Blossom's, he was recently invited by a colored pastor of that city to address a meeting of colored people held in the pastor's church. And the church members attended the meeting and listened to the address, like the dumb, stupid brushes that they were.

Frankfort, Ala.—Mrs. Jane Wisco was taken, recently, by a mob of the "best people" from her home and lynch-murdered because she insisted on protecting her daughter's honor. A group of white brutes rode up to her home in autos and demanded that the daughter "go riding" at her house. These "respectable citizens" then cursed her and promised to return. That night they came back and the lynching followed. Do You Worry About Your Hair? Anaela It's Easy to Have Long, Beautiful Hair if You Use . . .

A unique feature is that either engine may be used separately, or both at the same time, as they drive separate rear axles. The transmission has five forward speeds and two in reverse. Air brakes like those of a train operate on all six wheels. The truck is rated at 20 tons, which is equal to four to six cubic yards of wet concrete, or 5,000 to 8,900 gallons of gasoline, oil or milk. A. Madle, designer of the huge vehicle, is photographed with it. GOOD AUTO CARE PAYS DIVIDENDS Proper Attention to Details Prolongs Life of Any Machine. Longer life for his automobile and smaller maintenance costs are within the reach of every motorist who will observe a few fundamental rules, according to a bulletin issued by the American research foundation. "No matter how expensive a car may be, the efficiency of its operation, its upkeep cost and lasting qualities are dependent, in large measure on the care it gets," the bulletin sets forth. General Overhauling. "At least twice each year every car in operation should have a general overhauling. As soon as possible after cold weather sets in, and again when the weather turns warm, the carburetor should be adjusted, the gasoline feed lines should be 'blown out' and sediment drained from the vacuum tank, the radiator should be drained and filled with the proper fluid, the oil reservoir, transmission and differential drained, fushed and replenished, the motor tuned up, body bolts and screws tightened and the battery and ignition system inspected. "Every 10,000 miles brakes should be relied, and they should be inspected at frequent intervals throughout the year. "The car manufacturer's recommendation to frequency of greasing or oiling should be followed closely. Make sure that transmission and differential are not overlooked. Many of the heaviest repair bills are due to neglect of these vital parts. Avoid Cheap Lubricants. "Don't use 'cheap' lubricants. Get an expert's advice on the viscosity or degree of 'heaviness' of motor oil required, but be sure that he remembers the common sense principle which has been scientifically proved that as piston and cylinder walls wear the space between them necessarily increases and there comes a time in the life of the average car when a heavier grade of oil is needed to seal this space and prevent 'blow-by' with all its attendant evils. "Test by actual use in your own car to discover which of the three general types of gasoline is best fitted to your needs. It will pay you in both mileage and performance. "Don't wait until the car breaks down or refuses to bulge. A good mechanic can prevent as well as cure." Timely Suggestions for Careful Auto Drivers Careful drivers avoid sudden stops except in emergencies. The general practice of applying brakes suddenly causes strain on the car and makes more frequent adjustments than would otherwise be necessary. Trouble may result from allowing gasoline to get low in the tank, as this may cause sediment and water to be sucked into the feed line. Do not fail to keep windshield and all lamp lenses clean. This enhances the pleasure of motoring and diminishes chances of accidents. A bucking engine is sometimes due to improper spacing of spark plug gaps, or because the plugs are badly worn. Hard steering results from misalignment of front wheels or from low pressure on front tires. It is best to drain the radiator for flushing immediately after a long trip. Habitually using the clutch pedal as a foot rest causes unnecessary wear on this important mechanism. Speaking of Safety One of the features of the modern automobile that contributes impressively to its safety is the ease and positiveness with which it may be steered sharply at high speed. So perfectly is it balanced that it won't turn over when steered violently to avoid a crash. In combination with good brakes this same steering gives a margin of safety that should beget confidence. However, it always is well to avoid overconfidence. Muffler Backfires Are Apt to be Expensive Muffler firebirds are apt to be expensive because they may readily ruin the muffler. Incorrect mixtures, because of bad carbureter adjustment, poorly adjusted or pitted breaker points, and anything else which causes intermittent missing or slow burning of the charge may be responsible. When the ignition cuts off for any reason, permitting unburned gas to be exhausted into the muffler and then ignited, muffler explosions will occur. When they do, remove the cause and save the repair bill. Working Spare Tire Will Increase Its Miles The spare tire should not be left on the back of the car too long. It is better to put it to work. Rubber deteriorates even when not in use. This is more rapid in sunlight than in a shaded place, and if the tire is covered it will last longer than if exposed to the rays of the sun. Nevertheless, there is no point in leaving a new tire on the back as a spare. Use it and put one of the tires that is worn to some extent on the spare carrier. Your total mileage from the set will be increased. Old Oil Can Spout Will Locate Tire Punctures Punctures are hard enough to locate without having to spend time doing the job all over again if you happen to loose the place. The illustration shows an easy way to prevent "losing" SPOUT AS A DEPLATOR AND MARKER OF THE PUNCTURE INNER TUBE ORDINARY OIL CAN SPOUT When a Puncture Is Found in a Tire You Can Keep It Located With an Oil Can Spout. the hole and at the same time deflate the tube. Stick the end of an old oil can spout through the puncture.—Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE NOTES Every year is leap year for the pedestrian. About one-half of all motor vehicle death victims are pedestrians. When an automobile goes 245 miles an hour, what's a motorcycle cop expected to do? H habitually using the clutch pedal as a foot rest causes unnecessary wear on this important mechanism. We can remember quite clearly the early automobile that a barking dog had no trouble keeping up with. Another reason, aside from the purely sentimental, that we don't get rid of our old car is that we hate to throw so many dependent garage mechanics out of work. The oil filter, in 10,000 miles of driving becomes filled with foreign matter removed from the oil. Replacing the cartridge will make the oil filter as good as new. Many motorists who never would think of starting the engine without retarding the spark drive always with it fully advanced. It would be much better the other way around in some cases. Don't wait until your engine is laboring to shift to second gear when going up a hill. All the gears are made to use. It is foolish to make any gear do the work for which another gear is intended. IT'S NEW FOR A BLOUSE OF BRIGHT COLOR TO BE WORN WITH WHITE SUIT UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD Joel Feder THIS promises to be one of the whitest seasons on record, so far as fashion is concerned. The interesting thing about the present vogue for white is that it began so early in the spring. The world of fashion did not wait, as it usually does, for summer to come ere it donned white. As a matter of fact the Easter parade played the initial number on the program of white which will continue during the late spring and summer months. Not only is importance attached to white, as it pertains to accessory gloves and shoes, millinery and handbags, not forgetting to mention the inevitable scarf either of white flat fur or that which is newer still, the scarf of white taffeta which is tied in a sprightly butterfly bow, but the white coat of basket cloth and the frock of thin white wool worn under the dark coat, are making a spring debut. Much is being said and done in counterier circles in regard to the white silk sports suit, with emphasis placed on the word white. The model ple- ORGANDIE HAT-AND FOR DEBS AND SU IMPORTANT in fashion's vocabulary for late spring and all summer is the word organdie. French designers, in their newest creations, have set the pace for others to follow in this matter of organdie, in that they employ it both formally and informally. Leading contourers are displaying in their salons stunning creations which reflect the elegant note in that they are fashioned of organdie richly worked with metal embroidery, posed in many instances over taffeta. The tinted organdie frock posed over the taffeta slip is a favorite theme as it has to do with the formal mode. As to whether the taffeta be matched to the color of the dress or accent a contrast is left to choice. Enthusiasm for organdie has lend to a very happy number on the style program for the coming months—the hat-and-frock ensemble which is made entirely of organdie. A charming ver- Your Copy or an Acqu tured is of heavy white crepe. The jacket adopts a very smart styling in that it is double-breasted and belted. It also features a below-the-waistline placement for its two rows of buttons. In the blouse worn with this suit one encounters the unexpected, in so far as color is concerned, for it is in a soft rose shade, which brings us to an important subject which has to do with the call of the mode for white with touches of bright color. The colored blouse with the white skirt or suit is an innovation which gives evidence of developing into a popular vogue. The short sleeve of the jacket (most of the jacket sleeves are short this season) reveals the rose sleeves of the blouse, thus imparting a really new detail to the costume. An interesting fashion which has come to the fore is the white jacket with the dark skirt. Jackets of white flat crepe are being shown. These are washable which makes them practical Jackets of white plique to be worn with the dark skirt or frock are also listed among smart fashions.

The dainty dress is just such as debs and sub-debs are wearing when they dine and dance. It is made of pale green organdie of bemberg. The bands which circle about the skirt and trim the bodice are formed by doubling the material. Sans hat this lovely frock tunes to formal evening wear. Topped with its picturesque chapeau, which is made of the same bemberg organdie, this costume takes on a daytime air which suggests coming garden-party events. The use of lace with organdie is notable this season. The winnisomeness of this alliance of organdie and lace particularly registers in the field of design which has to do with frocks which the spring 1931 graduate will wear. Sometimes the organdie is posed over a lace slip. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) of Theaint 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 scarcity has him wrong in attempting to get him to build separate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, 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, and physicians should know that they are just as 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 psychiatrist Dr. Ghee has been appointed on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hospital. Young Dr. Ghee is a graduate of Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University College department. By his ability, students himself and to sense, he has worked himself up to the leading places in these hospitals. It is claimed that our physicians with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "Jim-crow" hospitals. Only physicians of known ability are allowed to class-stay hospitals. Our people have 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 community 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 number of people are trying to hold 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 stentorian voice and a loud-mouthed 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 conscientious effort is being made to educate our unclepto and our churches.

Negro ministers and physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races. ROSENWALD SCORED! For Building a "Chinese Wall" of "Separation, Discrimination and Segregation" Nationally—Plain Unvarnished Truth. Madison, New Jersey. Hon. Harry O. Smith. Editor, The Gosette, 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 M. C. A, building "Negro," was imminent to 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 13:34; Matt. 2:58; 12:42. (b) The cornerstone of American democracy, 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; and all, we are brethren!"—Gai 3:26. (d) The foundation 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 upon their American citizenship? Did the white population protest against their "colored brother" having the same disease, the same accidents and the same 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 and social "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.

Gifford Points to Signs of Business Improvement Statisticians of the Bell Telephone system say that the immediate present shows signs of improvement in the nation's economic condition, according to a statement made by Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, in a talk at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press in New York. M. WALTER S. GIFFORD "How fast that improvement will be measured in weeks or months I don't know," said Mr. Gifford. "But in the telephone company we have every confidence in the future—not only confidence, but the keenest interest in the possibilities ahead of us. "I want to reaffirm my faith in the continued progress of our country, in the common sense and ability of its people—in short, I want to reaffirm my faith in American democracy—political, social and economic, and to add that the experiences of this depression have done more to confirm this faith than the experiences of the boom that preceded it." In stating that definite signs of returning prosperity are being noted constantly, Mr. Gifford said that "we are going forward out of this valley, as we have from others before, by the democratic road—by the thought and effort of thousands of intelligent, able people—by the wisdom of many."
