"TRADE WITH US BECAUSE"
Discussed Interestingly in "Digesting the News" by Clifford C. Mitchell—Read Carefully and Then Think!
From one of our papers the following quotation, credited to Bourke Cockran, was clipped:
"There is but one straight road to the man who is successful the man who is useful. Capacity never lacks opportunity. It can not remain undiscovered, because it is sought by too many anxious to use it."
It might be well for a great many of our local leaders in various parts of the country to study and thoroughly analyze the above question. During these times, the man with the capacity is unwilling for us to build up our economic enterprises on purely racial appeals.
Can any reader doubt the success, the business genius of the Jews? Did you ever see any of their leaders attempting to build up or maintain a business or other enterprise on racial appeal? They do not advertise, "Trade with us because we are Jews." On the contrary, they conduct their affairs in order to benefit the patrolage of their own race but the most of it from other races. Personally, I would prefer to make every purchase from an enterprise conducted by our own members. I would prefer to secure every form of personal service from our members. I would prefer being transported from place to place on systems owned by us. But with all these personal preferences I would not care to spend my money in any place, regardless of whom its conductors may be, in which I would be able to disdise, the best service and the most satisfaction that it is possible to secure for the money.
Therefore, to those of our race who are continually seeking opportunities but believe they must come through stirring up a racial or an emotional appeal, the suggestion is that you thoroughly study the requirements of your community, study and master the technique of the particular field in which you wish to embark, surround yourself with associates who are equipped, through academic knowledge and experience, with your enterprises, whatever it may be. In your appeals to prospective customers do not stress the fact that you are "Negroes," appealing for "Negro" business, but emphasize the superior service that you can render, the high quality of your wares and the savings that you can offer your customers. If you can live up to these qualifications our people will be glad to give their cooperation, and other races will patronize you for convenience and the economic advantages afforded.
Some will cry that being "Ne

I. L. D. APPEALS SCOTTSBORO CASE.
Our Boys Subjected to Torture in Pison—Demand Removal From Death Cell—N. A. A. C. P. Apparently Out of It.
Scottsboro, Ala.—Aden. Geo. W. Chamlee and Jos. L. Brodsky, attorneys for the International Labor Defense, promptly filed notice of appeal to the state supreme court, and exceptions were taken to Judge Working Day, overturning the motion for a new trial in the case of the eight Scottsboro boys who were sentenced to die in the electric chair, July 10. The notice of appeal immediately stopped the electroction until higher courts pass upon the sentence. Chamlee, Brodsky and a staff of eight other attorneys have been preparing evidence, gathered by their investigators working on the case, since early last April. They have 90 days in which to prepare the bill of exceptions.
The Trial Soon!
Roy Wright, the ninth boy in whose case the jury disagreed when 11 voted for the death sentence and one juror held for life imprisonment, will come to trial shortly, as an immediate re-trial will be demanded.
The eight convicted boys held here in death cells at Kilby prison are being tortured by the prison authorities by moving the electric chair in a position directly across the hall from their cells where it is in full view of the boys every hour of 10 a.m. and night. It is said the warden calls their attention to the chair and tells them that it will be their turn next.
Demand Immediate Removal.
Gen. Chamlee is demanding that prison authorities immediately remove the eight boys from their death cells, and although the Alabama law definitely states that persons, convicted to the chair, be removed from their cells as soon as notice for an appeal is given, the prison authorities have declined to do so in the case of the boys. In addition, the court will immediately, the attorneys will demand a court order to that effect.
Send Him to West Point
Boston, Mass.—Robert N. Joyner, Jr., a Roxbury (a suburb of this city) Memorial High school senior, is the first Afro-American major that school has ever had. Roxbury is the largest high school in the country, and Robert is regarded as a "military genius."
The
ROUNDER
WHAT'S DOING!
Employees of the May Co. say that but for the superior acumen and forbearance of Manager Samuel M. Gross of the May Co., Councilman Clayborne George, we have made everyone of the nearly seven-five Afro-American employees of the company lose their jobs by his intemperate, unwise, uncalled for exclamations and foolish demonstration during the progress of a conference, held in Mr. Gross' office in the May Co., over the transfer of our elevator-girls to the stock-room of the company. It is also said that Mr. Gross did not invite George to conference. The councilman's lack of experience and consequent knowledge of business was painfully in evidence in all that he said, they say.
It seems strange that our people only, when they have a business matter to consider, call in (to confer with) a councilman, doctor, lawyer, preacher or some other professional or "leading" member of the race who has absolutely no knowledge of business. If one of their family were ill, they would hardly send for a business man to treat the patient. If they needed the service of a lawyer, they would hardly send for a doctor. If they needed the services of a doctor, they would hardly send for a journalist, and so on down the calendar. It is equally foolish and ridiculous to expect anyone of the professional or "leading" gentlemen, referred to above, or others without successful business experience, to serve satisfactorily in a conference on an important business matter like that which was alleged to have developed in the May Co.
Those of our people in the East End who will be affected by the extension of Central Ave. to E. 105th St. under the leadership of Carroll Scott have sharpened their political knives on both sides for "The Blossom Triplets" who are supporting the Bundy resolution favoring the extension. They claim that the "Negroes" who differ from them do not live where they are affected and therefore will not have to pay the greatly increased taxes for the street improvement. They also say that Bundy is a member of the Tampa organization and has utterly failed through his term, like Councilman Payne, and as Councilman George has thrust two terms, to secure any improvement in the rotten street-car service on either the Central, Cedar or Scovill Ave. lines. Also, that the Bundy meeting in the old Rivola theater and the George East End Political club meeting at Temple Baptist church, recently, don't mean a thing as will be proven to the entire satisfaction of all on election day, this week. The office jersey for the team and the Boston J. Prince, the credit and praise for the placing of clerks in chain and other stores in the East End, to boost George's candidacy is manifestly unfair and really silly. The Rounder and everybody else knows that it was the movement headed by the Princes that opened up all of the positions in that section of the city secured by members of the race in recent months. George and his club certainly did NOT originate the boutique Spad in our store where he can work." It was first used in this city by Eugene F. Cheeks, editor of The Guide, when he was editor of the Call-Post, last year, and revived, early this year, by the Princes, George Sisco, former manager of the A. & D. de lux store at the corner of Central Ave. and E. 49th St. who is now working for the same company at one of its stores at E. 103d St. and Cedar Ave, and all of the others must thank Rev. and Mrs. Boston and no Clarborn for their jobs. The statement, that Payne, George and Bundy ("The Blossom Triplets") "continue to grow in popularity," is a JOKE and so silly it is really ridiculous. All three will be defeated, this fall, just so sure as an election is held, and then the individual who wrote that political slush for a Chicago race newspaper, last week, will surely lose his political job, if he does not lose it sooner.
a delicious luncheon to all the guests.

THE "VOLUNTARY" RESIGNATION
OF HIGH OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY UNDER HEAVY PROBE. Threatening Clouds-Convention Examination in Progress at the Behest of New Officers-One of Our Largest Business Concerns.
Washington, D. C.—A quiet sensation, likened only to a smouldering volcano, is featuring "Negro" business at the nation's capital, these days. The "voluntary" resignations of former heads of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co. has led to a close investigation of the organization's status by a number of agencies, governmental and otherwise, at the behest of its new officers; announces Edw. H. Lawson, a staff correspondent of the Washington Post. In 1927, it seems, a syndicate consisting of the three main fiscalal certain stock of the firm, Shenan Bison, has had no stock on the market. At the time of the transaction referred to, R. H. Rutherford was president and treasurer; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and general manager, and Mortimer F. Smith, assistant secretary of the company. In the recent re-organization of the official personnel, attention of the superintendent of insurance for the District of Columbia was called by John T. Risher, newly elected president, to the immediate reconstruction of the institution has been inaugurated. Mr. Risher's immediate association is John R. Pinket, Aaron Day, J. H. John, Huver I. Brown and J. C. Arnold. The newly elected officers are seeking full information about the finances of the company from governmental agencies and are lending these agencies every facility to discover the exact status of the company's effects. Under the lead of the superintendent of insurance for the District of Columbia, a convening executive committee effect by agencies from Virginia, South Carolina and Kentucky. Nothing very startling has been disclosed as yet. Certainly nothing warranting any legal action. Modern business methods are to put in operation at the home office and wherever the Nat'l. Benefit Ins. Co. has active agencies. In the face of a deluge of telegrams which continued to pour into the home office daily from different parts of the country and a steady stream of telegrams inquiries, Mr. Risher declined to make further statement until in possession of all the facts from authorized investigative sources. Apparently the solvency of the com-

Use the city bathing and swimming pools and beaches. They are OURS, too. We pay taxes, all of us do—have to whether we want to or not. They are all open and in the best of condition and under the care of competent guards who have been provided with every possible means of safety for children. There is the same policy concerning free admission to the youngsters under fifteen years of age, from ten to twelve Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Learned instructors will supervise the special classes for beginners and advanced swimmers which will be in full force throne the summer. The beginning class for boys will be held between ten and eleven and the one for the girls between eleven and the morning; advanced swimmers will be taken in the afternoon. The pools will open from ten in the morning to ten at night, weather permitting, during which time events such as free style, backstroke, and novelty races will be run off in preparation for the grand meet on the fourth of July. The directors and guards are willingly waiting to aid the children in every way possible.
The city playgrounds have started preparing for the July 4 parade, and the gala festival that will be held at the close of the season.
Mary L. Brown of Memphis, teacher in our Williamson W. Va. school, is stopping at the P. W. A., having entered W. R. U. for the summer session. Roberta Early, a teacher in our Kimball, W. Va. schools, was her guest, recently, on an event at the summer session of Chicago University.

"It is our present high purpose to develop the company into a first-class enterprise, preserving its assets, and settling claims of policyholders. It shall be owned and controlled solely by our racial group—that much is assured. While conscious of the fact that, in the past, men of other groups have endeavored to set the company, for the sake of security, will hold all sources assets which belong to policyholders and stockholders, if any have been improperly taken from them."
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Editor Fred R. Moore of the N. R. Age, an alderman, 75 years old week before last, is as active as a man of 40.
About 200 Pullman porters were recalled to service in New York City, last week, by order of the district superintendent.
During the three years of his college career Champion Eddie Tolan, of Michigan U., competed in 134 races indoors and outdoors, including trial heats, and was defeated only seven times.
Miss Charlotte Templeton (white), librarian of Greenville, S. C. public library, has been appointed librarian of Atlanta University, Spelman and Morehouse colleges, announces Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta U.
A pamphlet, "Black Justice," just issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, N. Y. City, embodies the first survey of legal discrimination ever made in this country. The Garland Fund has given the money to test these laws in the courts and the N. A. A. C. P. is to file the suits. Recently, when Alvin White and Ernest Bond, both white, Tampa loan-sharks, went to David Lowe's home in Jacksonville, Fla., to collect interest on a small loan, they found him sick in bed. They beat and threatened him with a pistol when he met with them and shot both, White dying in a hospital. Lowe was exonerated by the state attorney.

SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1931.
The Crusaders News Agency, N. Y. City, in its "release" of the past week, made the charge that "the leaders of the National Negro Business League, headed by Editor Fred R. Moore of The N. Y. Age, and Principal Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Ala. N. & I. Institute, gave their annual dinner at the Broadway, New York, Central hotel, corner of Third St.," recently, and followed this statement with the following very interesting comment—if it is true?
"No black worker could get into the Broadway Central hotel to eat or sleep if he wanted and had money to; yet the so-called leaders of his group dined there."
Surely The Crusaders News Agency must be mistaken. How about it, Editor Moore?
LYNCH-MURDERED?
More than 6000 workers met in Lake Anna park near Barberton, O., last week Friday, to hear the Communists protest against the part Barberton police played in the disappearance of C. Louis Alexander, Afro-American Communist organizer, who is supposed to have been kidnapped and killed by Barberton police at least three of whom are now under indictment as a result. The aftermath of Alexander's mistreatment by police and disappearance has been a series of riot demonstrations in Barberton upon the part of the police and Communists that has caused a demand to be made upon the governor of the state for an official investigation of that little city, and this demand should be granted by Gov. White if for no other reason than to unravel the mystery over the disappearance of Alexander. The Kluxers and the Communists are "raising Caln" in Barberton.
DE PRIEST'S "SANHEDRIN."
The personnel of Congressman Oscar DePriest's initial meeting, last week, to pave the way for a "national conference" to be held at the nation's capital, while not good was not necessarily bad. It had not the status about all had hoped for it. There were a few good men and women in attendance, but a great many more real leaders absent than there were present. We are told that the Hon. J. C. Napier of Tennessee "flayed President Hoover, at the meeting." A surprise because he has always, like John R. Hawkins, Emmett J. Scott and others been very amenable to the "powers (Republican) that be." There was practically no representation from the "pivotal states where our votes are of determining importance." The congressman's contemplated "national conference" is characterized by Robert A. Pellam of Washington, D. C. one of our oldest newspaper men, as "another Sanhedrin of Kelly Miller fame (?) that has come and likewise may go like a puff of wind." That is quite enough to "damn" it.
"THE OTHER SIDE."
City Manager Daniel "Blossom" Morgan is asked, in a resolution introduced in City Council, Monday evening, by Councilman Emil Robechek to take a hand in trying to settle the strike of cooks and waiters (white) from five of our leading local hotels. Morgan, Robechek and a good many others seem to have lost sight of the fact that several hundred, at least, of OUR VOTERS are working in those hotels in the places of the strikers, and that we will resent to the last ditch any effort to dispossess them of their jobs whether it is made by Morgan, Robechek or anyone else. There are two sides to that question only
one of which seems ever to get a hearing in the local daily press or in the City Council. And it is high time that "The Blossom Triplets," those almost useless "Negro" councilmen (George, Payne and Bundy), wake up and present our side, and see that Robcheek and Morgan and all of the former's colleagues in City Council understand it. Our employees of the six hotels, referred to, have rights, too, that must be respected, or it is going to be "just too bad" for Manager Morgan, Robcheek and other Republican councilmen who ignore them. The strikers' organization, the cooks, waiters and waitresses union, bars our workers only and is organized and operated in opposition to the trust laws of the country. It is an illegal combination because it bars American citizens of color from its membership (and accepts aliens). So if the Morgan dynasty, a Republican administration, wishes to join hands with law-violators who, at least in this particular instance, wish only to rule or ruin, then our 50,000 eligible Cleveland voters, according to the latest U. S. census, that of 1930, should begin now to sharpen their political knives for the purpose of helping to wipe out the city manager and city councilmen who would join hands with an illegal combination to force our workers, in the six hotels, out of work and into the streets to suffer with the near 200,000 men and women of Cleveland there now and for many months. What a wonderful (?) triumvirate that would be—law violators, an illegal combination and the local section of the "grand old Republican party"!! Watch Dau Morgan, Emil Robcheek and "The Blossom Triplets" like a cat does a mouse from now until election day, in November, so that you will know just how to vote in your own interest, at that time.
THE N. A. A. C. P.'S LESSON.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People went to the defense of the Scottsboro Ala. victims after the International Labor Defense had taken up the work: In the face of this fact, the former sought and is still seeking to control the defense of the unfortunate eight or nine youths. We have never liked this disposition of the N. A. A. C. P., so manifest on several occasions in years gone by, to "hog everything." Years ago it developed the bad habit of trying to claim, for the organization, credit for about everything worthwhile done for our people, anywhere in the country, by an individual or individuals al. color. A case in point is the "Worley" U. S. Supreme court decision of 1917 against residential segregation. This time, it seems, the organization has met more than its match in the I. L. D. and should be materially benefited by its experience in trying to control the defense in the Scottsboro Ala. case.
A JOHN BROWN GAVEL
The Gift at Annual Reunion of Brown's Descendants—A Man the Martyr Gave a Penny.
Hudson, O.—A gavel of cherry wood, made from the carrying table of John Brown's tannery in New Richmond, Pa., was presented, Tuesday, to Salmon Brown of Lakewood, by Mrs. Zoe L. Klumph of Conneautville, Pa., at the annual reunion of about 75 descendants of the martyr, at the F. L. Shiley home, near here.
Two, John O. Brown and Mrs. Dell Oyler, drove from Fort Wayne, Ind., and others came from Pennsylvania. Two nieces and two nephews of Mrs. Brown were the oldest of the group—Mrs. Lutie Clark and Mrs. Della Bartseis of Kent, O. and John O. Brown, and Charles Brown of Canal Fulton, O. A picnic lunch was served, with Salmon Brown, presiding.
Rev. Clarence Gee of Delaware, O., delivered an address telling of material he has collected for a biography of John Brown that he is writing. He told of talking to an Afro-American in Harper's Ferry, W. Va., who still cherishes a penny that John Brown gave him for some maple sugar before the raid on the arsenal.

Columbus, O.—The legal battle of the Columbus peanut vender and the Columbus poet is over. And the peanut vender is the victor to the extent of one cent. John L. Huff, who sold peanuts in the house-ware for many years, charged Elliot B. Henderson, poet, former "editor," etc., owed him at least damages for all alleged disrespectful remarks made about Huff's business and his wares. Judge John R. King, however, ruled that one cent would be adequate compensation.

very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northwestern 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:
OBJS.
ed.
representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another.

nst another county.
MOBS.
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter.

(93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285.

(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:
The General Code of Ohio
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or owner of a building, an estate, an 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities, and amenities furnished 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 five hundred dollars to the per capita amount carried 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.

TINY FRONT-DRIVE AUTOMOBILE IS SPEEDY
MILWAUKEE
This tiny front-drive automobile may resemble an animated top, but it can hit 70 miles per hour, get 50 miles to the gallon and be tucked to sleep under the back steps or behind the in-a-door bed. Edward A. Borntraeger is explaining to Viola Rosebrock that he spent two years building this midgut "limousine" entirely by hand, using chased aluminum for the body. It's 86 inches long, 26 inches high, has a wheelbase of 66 inches, and weighs just 500 pounds. Just imagine a big outdoor policeman directing traffic at the world's busiest corner with the streets full of these little gasoline bugs!
MEASURE IMPACT OF MOTOR BUS
Bureau of Public Roads Making Tests With Higher Speeds.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)—WNU Service. When the wheel of a motor vehicle passes over an obstruction or a rough place in the surface of a highway, there are two impacts of the wheel upon the road—shock impact when the wheel comes in contact with the obstruction and impact when it hits the pavement following the bounce. The trend today is toward higher vehicular speeds, particularly with the heavier wheel loads, such as in motor bus operation and the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, has studied the impact forces produced by the rear wheel of a modern bus operating on a concrete pavement at various speeds up to 55 miles an hour and over two types of road obstructions. The studies have included various wheel loads, sizes of tires, inflation pressures, rim dimensions and rim widths. The Rubber Manufacturers association and the Society of Automotive Engineers cooperated in the investigations.
The operation of heavy vehicles at high speeds has been made practical by the comparatively recent use of high-pressure tires and balloon tires on heavy trucks and busses, says the bureau.
The tests revealed that the impact varies in almost direct proportion with tire inflation pressure. The variation of impact with speed proved to be different for the two types of impacts, drop and shock. The drop impact reached a maximum value at comparatively low speeds and decreased at higher speeds. The shock impact varied almost directly with speed, but did not attain a value as great as the maximum drop impact until a very high speed had been reached. The relations of the various factors in detail are described in the April issue of Public Roads.
These bus impact tests are the latest of a series of impact investigations which the burean has been making for ten years or more. The earlier studies dealt with the measurement of impacts caused by heavily loaded motor trucks, especially those with poor tire equipment.
The recent studies were conducted on a concrete road at Aberdeen (Maryland) proving ground, through the courtesy of the ordance department. The vehicle used was a modern high-speed bus chassis with a special body. The floor of the body was divided into small compartments for retaining 100-pound cast-iron weights used to vary the loads.
Tire Equipment.
The test car tire equipment included both high-pressure pneumatic and balloon types, and the range in size was from 7-inch high-pressure to 12-inch balloon. Inflation varied from 53 to 107 pounds per square inch. Rims were of 20 and 24-inch diameter. The tests involved two types of obstruction each $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches high; one an inclined plane 30 inches long, and the other a rectangular obstruction 12 inches wide.
The magnitude of impacts was measured by a multiple-element contact accelerometer, consisting of ten sensitive elements, which was designed and built by the bureau as a modification of a single element instrument used in earlier impact tests. The accelerometer was mounted on the rear axle of the bus, and was in a position to respond to any vertical accelerations imparted to the axle by the wheel.

Lable for Theft
A parking lot proprietor is liable for damages if, through his negligence, an automobile is removed by some one without the proper ticket, the Michigan Supreme court has held. David S. Block left his automobile in a parking lot at First and Bagley streets, Detroit, and it was stolen. His insurance company paid him $375 and sued the Service Parking corporation, operators of the lot, for that amount. The lower court entered a judgment for the defendants, holding that the words "not insurers," on the parking ticket absolved the company from responsibility. Disagreeing, the Supreme court reversed the verdict. The corporation had the duty of proving it had not been negligent, the court held, and failed to do so.

CHIC "SPORTSY" SHOES FOR SUMMER THEME OF OUTSTANDING INTEREST

direction of handsome "sportsy" footwear. The smartest sports shoes are eyedelet this season. Which is to be expected since most everything else on the summer style program from millinery to footwear has eyellets. Even our pocketbooks, our gloves and our belts are being eyeleted nowadays.
With her stunning white kid-angora frock the young sportswoman shown at the top in the picture is wearing a pair of ultra-smart perforated ox-fords, just the sort every style-wise woman will be wanting as summer advances. High-style points to be observed in this costume are the wide belt, the tri-color scarf and the small soft white hat, knitted caps of this type being in the spotlight of fashion at this moment.
Other sports shoes which keep in step with the mode are those of white buck with dark kidskids combinations. The outstanding note about shoes of this type is the generous use made of the black, brown or navy kid, which contrasts the white. The young woman an seated in the foreground of the picture is wearing shoes of lates mod-
BLACK LACE APPLI
ORGANDIE
NOW that the vogue for organdie, dotted swiss, embroidered batiste and other sheer cotton as quaint and lovely has been revived, the really and truly summer girl bids fair to grace the landscape with her adorable presence as she did in the long, long ago.
The story of what designers are doing with these dainty flattering materials reads like a tale of romance. Not for summers and summers have such beguiling, feminine, fluttery frocks been in promise as have registered on the style program for the coming months.
Crisp and ever youthful-looking organdie is especially making a farfung challenge to creative genius to do and to dare. An example of the alluring and unique things which designers are doing with organdie is set forth in the illustration. They are motifs which have been cut out of black lace, those decorative florals which you see silhouetted against the white background of this winse organdie frock. Why not try it for yourself, this clever idea of trimming white organdie with black lace?
Another effect which is more charming than words can tell is that of gay wool yarn embroidery on white or-

el. Take note of the very low heels, which is a characteristic feature of footwear designed for young moderns whose needs are being made a special consideration by designers and dealers this season. Her sleeveless jacket is bright red. A high style note for summer in shoes which are refreshingly new and different is the sandal. During the coming months the center of attraction promises to be the sandals which range from sports types to ultra evening modes of the most fancy conceptions. Sandals with vamp sections made of straps in combinations of black patent and white kid, also in brown and white combinations, will be smart for sports and general daytime wear.
Charming for dressy yet conservative wear are the new sandals which are made of exquisitely fine and soft navy or brown kidskin. As to the very elaborate evening sandals, the feet of the ancient Greek goddesses were encased in no more artistic and picturesque types.

QUED ON WHITE

gandie. Flowers in realistic colors are worked either in borderings or clusters. It is a thought which should prove intriguing to the woman who can embroider, and one does not necessarily have to be an expert with flowers. Work is quickly and easily accomplished, and best of all, it is very effective.
Among the newest trimming treatments is one, the inspiration for which comes from the pictureresque custom which the romantic Hawaiians follow of decorating those who visit their shores as well as themselves on festive occasions with wreaths, lels as the natives call them. Dame Fashion has appropriated the idea to the extent that not only the formal evening gown is now trimmed with garlands of flowers made of the material which fashions the dress, but many of the most charming daytime and garden-party frocks reflect this influence. Wherefore if you are making up organdie, finish the neckline or border the edge of its cape-collar with a row of flowers hand-made of self-organdie.

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 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 in the South. Many of our physicians are active in trying to establish these separate hospitals. There is no need for them here and these physicians should know that they are just 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. Dr. Euclid Ghee, son of the well-known physician, 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, studiousness and good sense, he has been a leader in 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 and experience are allowed to 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 and his trade, there is in the back-ground 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 "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 persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," With the open-door health, 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 as their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of caring to bring habits of integrity and habit of our people, simply to get money out of them. A very little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and 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 and help, physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
ROSENWALD SCORED!
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 o are a busy man; therefore, my remarks will be brief:
For many years I have concluded that the Julius Rosenwald system or "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; (b) It creates, directive, Matt; 7:12; John 13: 34; Matt; 6: 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; and all, we are all, our friends."—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. 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
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 and social "Chinese wall" or separation, discrimination and segregation that be erected and enforced (in a spiteful spirit) by both peoples in our American civilization? -Gal. 6.7 Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent. Madison, N. J.

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 contenting after their race of numerous discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; 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.

serviceable mode carrying into the autumn. One of the smartest outfits we've seen was part of a wardrobe designed for the college girl with a brown skirt, a piece and made of a tweedy durene cotton material combining rich rust-browns, beiges and orange shades. The trousers were laid in well tailored pleats. With the paillas was to be worn a serviceable dress with a brown skirt and of a line of a man's tuxedo case. Along with this college girl's "studying paillas" came a pair of darling little lounging slippers made of the same durene tweed found in the garment and piped with brown suede. House slippers of the paillas's palms are very fashionable.
