The face of an unprecedented business depends on the Empire Savings and Loan Company not only held its own, from a financial viewpoint, but has been the means of saving hundreds of homes to our people of Cleveland who because of unemployment would otherwise have lost them. This fact alone has caused plans to be formulated whereby more and more widespread benefits of this kind can be assured to greater numbers of our home owners. "A meeting, at which plans to this end will be explained, has been arranged to be held at St. Paul A. M. E. Zion church, Tuesday evening, July 14th at 8 P. M.

OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION Of Mayor Johnston's Administration in Miles Heights Village Now On, On Order of Ohio's Mayor Arthur R. Johnston of Miles Heights village is being officially investigated, on order of Gov. George White, as the result of charges filed against him by residents of the village who say he has been arresting political opponents on liquor charges, after having evicted his wife, the mayor, who he gave a suspended sentence in a felony case by usurping the privileges and rights of the common pleas court grand jury; that he has forced political enemies into line, thus liquor raids and rewarded adherents by special privileges in a ring of bootleg joints; that stench-bombs have been used in a campaign of general intimidation of enemies of his administration, the same being used in the mayor's adjournments at late hours of the night; that ballot boxes were manipulated so as to practically nullify elections and that the mayor conducted raids on slot-machines "to show those interests where the power lay," etc. To all of the foregoing, Mayor Johnston replies: "I welcome any sort of investigation. Those charges were made by my political enemies." The petitioned bills at Columbus for charging the mayor's dismissal as malicious for usurping the power "illegal and surreptitious activities for the usurpation of power, and the brow-beating and intimidation of residents." Johnston was elected mayor in 1929, on the death of the elected mayor, subsequently being returned to the office by the voters. Recently, he announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election but would withdraw from Miles Heights politics. He has had an arbustible time ever since the heights office offered to the city, the heights all around Cleveland, are lowly with members of the K. K. K. Annexation of Miles Heights village to Cleveland has been vigorously urged by his opponents for several years. JACKSON vs. SACKS! The Fortner "Bucking" the Latter, the Republican Organization's Councilmanic Candidate, in the Second District—Perry Warned! July 7, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette City, Dear Sirt—Perry B. Jackson is an estimate young man, a credit to his race and an asset to his group. From a standpoint of a Republican and a member of the Republican organization of Cuyahoga county, he is everything that is expected of an organization man—loyal. The foregoing is my sincere estimation of Perry B. Jackson, and that estimation will not in any way diminish should he not accept the advice and suggestion of his friends among 1930 Councilman Charles Sacks. whom is the editor of this paper Mr. Jackson, or his friends are circulating his petitions as a candidate for the City Council in the second district. He is a candidate against the present councilman, Charles Sacks. Mr. Jackson has a perfect right to be a candidate but Mr. Jackson is a loyal partyman, a fellow member of Mr. Sacks in the ward organization, a member of the board of directors of the 30th Ward Republican club. He knows that it his desire and wish that Councilman Sacks is the ward Council Sacks is entitled to re-election. Under conditions existing, he has also represented to the best of his abilities the colored citizens of the second district. His work, in their behalf, was not made in the form of speeches or newspaper publicity, but in an inconspicuous, silent and effective way. Brother Jackson knows this better than any of those who are backing his candidacy. If Perry Jackson insists on staying in the race, he does so with the full knowledge that he cannot be elected but will take away from his position. Mr. Jackson will endorse his election. In case of Sacks' defeat, the Republican organization will lay at the door of Perry B. Jackson, and they will have a right to. The probability will be that the colored citizens of the second district will have no one to take up their cudgels when called upon to do so. Brother Jackson is a young man, full of political ambition, and it is the possibility that he is getting the best of his judgment. He is giving ear to false prophets and a leadership that will mislead more than lead. A populace may cry for right to be elected, but the people who get those rights for them. But experience has shown that the Rights are very often endangered and the leadership assumed for personal gain. Minority groups like the "Negro" and the Jewish people (of which I am one) often fare better in the hands of leaders who are not of their own faith and color. Jackson owes it to Sacks, to the County Republican organization, to the 30th Ward Republican club and to the colored voters to help Councilman Sacks and co-operate with his friends in the effort to re-elect him to the city council. He will be colored vote is a factor and counts much in defeat or victory, and with that in mind, gives his attention and efforts, in the City Council, not to one group, but to ALL the people who live in the second district. Some Local Political History. July 6, 1923 Editor Gazette, Dec. Sir: —The article in your paper of June 27, 2011, concerning the second district candidacy of Perry Jackson for City Council, this fall, brings to mind Perry's first campaign for a Republican nomination as a representative in the Ohio legislature. During that summer, a number of candidates were mentioned. The older and more experienced politicians of the area merged the Republican organization B. Thompson, one of our best known local party workers, who was nominated and elected, some years ago but counted out! The "professional" SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OVER $100,000 ATTACHED!

Comptroller Smith Rrehired to Help Straighten Out Affairs—Former Cleveland Woman, an Officer of "The National Benefit," Very Busy. Washington, D. C., July 7. — The Department of Insurance of the District of Columbia and the U. S. Bureau of Efficiency are still working on a careful examination of the affairs of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., as announced in The Gazette, last week. Some of the interesting phases of the company's work, developed last and this week are the suicide of Albert B. Dawson (white) of N. Y. City, who for several years had served the company as chief adviser and consulting actuary of the companies as a paul quasi-control of the company white men, coupled with a statement of the new president, John T. Risher, and other newly elected officials, to make the company entirely Afro-American; this to follow action taken immediately to protect property of the company in Cleveland, Ohio; tracing transactions of former officials in their individual and official capacities from New York to Cleveland; ascertaining the present status of 9,000 shares of capital stock. No data has been unearthed to indicate that any white man or group of white men have a dollar of investment in the company, and such exercises of control as were exercised by action of company officials immediately. Bank accounts of officers were attached, June 26, immediately following the filing of a suit against them by Mrs. Clara E. Christopher, head of the claims division and a former resident of Cleveland, O. She brot suit in the District Supreme court against Mortimer F. Smith, S. W. and R. H. Ruth- clique, the young misleaders of the race, urged and succeeded in having indorsed, Mr. Jackson, capable but practically unknown politically, at the time. He was defeated in the primaries but the organization placed him on the ticket just the same, just like it did Councilman Tom Fleming when defeated, ten years ago. Then came Atty. Gen. Turner, from Columbus, who had been urged to instigate the attack on him in the after a few days' investigation, he was not able to notice anything crooked until he happened to look over Perry's nomination figures. This was the thing that forced Turner to start the investigation as all will remember. It resulted in the ousting of the board of elections, the discrediting temporarily of the Republican organization, and, finally, the election of a Democratic county judge. He was not a local Democratic party. The local Republican organization suffered almost extinction for backing Perry Jackson's legislative candidacy three years ago. Now how can he turn his back on such friends as these. Surely, he will not be such an ingrate and thus cause his own political death! Had Sidney Thompson the Republican indorsed candidate, he would campaign, three years ago, he would so argue a vote that there would never have been any grounds for an investigation. Perry, desert those misleaders ("The Blossom Triplets") you are listening to, and get back on the band-wagon pronto where you belong, before it is too late. FISK UNIVERSITY'S SCHOLARSHIPS! Nashville, Tenn.—Prof. A. A. Tayler, dean of Fisk University, has announced that 20 freshman scholarships and 5 graduate scholarships will be available at Fisk for the 1931-32 school-year. These 25 scholarships carry an allowance of $150 each, and are in addition to the 16 freshman and 12 graduate scholarships of $150, and 4 graduate scholarships of $400 announced by the dean of Fisk. The freshman scholarships are to be awarded on the basis of the student's high school record. The graduate scholarships are offered for graduate work at Fisk in the departments of English, education, chemistry, sociology, physics and biology. The Revolt Spreads Leopoldville, Belgium, Congo, Africa.—The uprising, started by starving natives, is rapidly spreading. A detachment of Belgian troops massacred 300 natives not far from the capitol in an attempt to drown the revolutionary outbursts in blood. The revolt is in the same districts where two years ago the natives in vain rose in revolt. 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

The two Rutherfords, son and father, vice-president and president respectively, Mr. Smith, being second vice-president and comptroller, are said to have received salaries of $15,000 a year. Mrs. Christopher in her declaration alleges that there are numerous creditors of the Rutherfords and Smith in claims totaling thousands of dollars, and that she was informed that they are about to assign, dispose of or secrete their properties with intent to hinder, delay or defraud their creditors. She was informed that she was about to properties before judgment, to save an extent as was necessary to satisfy her claim. As soon as her attorney filed the declaration he went to the U. S. Marshall's office with garnishment papers which were promptly served on banks in which the Rutherfords and Smith are said to have accounts—Liberty, Franklin, and Commercial National banks, and the Prudential Trust Co. Smith was sued as the maker of the note, which was payable on demand, and the Rutherfords as endorsers. Refusal to pay the same was made, it is said, June 16, '21. Approximately $100,000 in cash, stocks and bonds were attached by Mrs. Christopher. Until the change in officers, Dawson, son of the narrator who was involved to have involved the National Benefit in certain financial transactions, had working constantly in the National Benefit offices six white men at the rate of five dollars an hour. The new officers promptly kicked them out. OUR NURSE STUDENTS At Cleveland's City Hospital School of Nursing Doing Well, Says the Principal—Girls, Make Application at Once! Joe T. Thomas, M.D. 2406 E. 40th St., City. June 30, '31. My dear Dr. Thomas:—It is too early to give an idea of how many colored girls will enter our fall class. Applications will not be in before several weeks. I do not doubt but that there will be colored students. I am very glad to send you the following report concerning the students (of your group) who are registered in our school at present: Mary Collins — admitted September 29th, 193. First semester — satisfactory work. Second semester just completed satisfactorily—having attained the standard we require in both theory and practice. Dorothea Davis — admitted September 29th, 1930. Satisfactory records in both theory and practice. Grace Rice — admitted September 29th, 1930. Passed all grades; is only an average student in both theory and practice, but capable. Edna Woolley — admitted September 29th, 1930 — made a failure in theory this last semester. Her practical work was very good; hence she will be given the opportunity to repeat the work next semester. She has signified her intention of returning registration day, September 28th, 1931. Maine — admitted January 26th, 1931. First semester satisfactory — enters her second semester. Othello Shaw — admitted January 26th, 1931. Record satisfactory — enters her second semester. If I can give you further information concerning this student, do not hesitate to communicate with me. Yours truly, E. C. Koch, Principal, School of Nursing. Hon. Hary C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Mr. Smith—Urge our ministers, thru your paper, to broadcast the necessity of supplying new students for the September class. Tell them now is the time for our girls to write the City hospital for applications. Yours truly, Joe T. Thomas, M. D. On June 18, Mrs. Ora Haines Wise received the degree of master of arts in romance languages from W. R. U.

SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1931 "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS". Under the city commissioner of light, which is in the department of utilities, presided over by Director Krueger, there is at least fifty jobs that are not under civil service, not one of them held by an Afro-American, and we have three members of the City Council, best known as "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy) who are so impotent and so ineffective as councilmen, regardless of the fact-that they hold the balance of power, in the City Council, that they are unable to get us anything like the representation under the city government we are clearly entitled to. Down at the stadium, last week Friday night, upon the occasion of the Schmeling-Stribling fight (or "butchery" of the Georgia "cracker"), we were entitled to about five or six hundred of the 3000 jobs instead of, the baker's dozen "The Blossom Triplets" got their constituents of color. If they ("The Triplets") worked half as hard to do something constructive, or anything worthwhile, for our people of this community as they do to make trouble for the local Republican organization, all concerned would be far better off. Also, very much like Bundy's threat, last year, to throw Maurice Maschke out of the 17th ward if he came up there to make a political speech, is "The Blossom Triplets'" backing the Perry B. Jackson candidacy in the second councilmanic district. Oh, boy!—what's coming to the "Blossom" triumvirate, this fall, on election day? OUR LOCAL STUDENT NURSES. For more than three long years The Gazette fought desperately to open Cleveland's City hospital to the training of our boys and girls, and it is with no small degree of pleasure and satisfaction we publish the letter, elsewhere in this paper, addressed to Dr. Joe T. Thomas of this city, who continues an activity in connection with the training of our boys and girls at City hospital that is most creditable indeed. Our nurse-students entered, last fall, and our internes will enter, this summer or fall. On the whole, the former have made, since September 29, 1930, a very creditable showing, which augurs well for the future in each case. Now that the Cleveland City hospital school of nursing is also open to our girls, as Dr. Thomas well suggests it is the duty of our local ministers, and others, to broadcast the necessity of supplying new applicants to enter it, September next. There are a number of our Cleveland girls who are attending schools of nursing in New York City, Washington, D. C., and other far distant points, whose parents and relatives would, much prefer to have them here at home while studying for their chosen profession. There are, too, still many who do not know that one of the finest schools of nursing in this country is open to them, at Cleveland's city hospital Therefore, the wisdom of Dr. Thomas' suggestion that this splendid opportunity be broadcast and our girls seeking to become trained-nurses, encouraged to make application promptly for admission to it. HOOVER AND THE "NEGRO" President Hoover's brief stereotyped message on mob violence, or lynching, featured the annual meet of the N. A. A. C. P., in Pittsburg, last week. It was very short and ordinary, and failed to impress. If the President would only follow up some of his talk and messages to our people with a little of the right kind of action, we would all feel better toward him. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas supplemented the President's message with a telegraphic paragraph which spoke of "the truly remarkable progress of the 'Negro' during a little more than half a century." He did not say, however, that the "remarkable progress" was made by our parents and grandparents, and not by the "Negro" of today who has been steadily retrograding for more than 20 years. His reference to our "useful participation in the affairs of the nation" was undoubtedly an unintentional "sideswipe" at President Herbert Hoover who has done more, by doing nothing, to keep the so-called "Negro" from doing that very thing than all other individuals and agencies combined in this country. The Socialist leaders of the N. A. A. C. P., in their meeting last week, urged "complete disregard of regular party lines and a solid vote for the candidate who will help the Negro.'" The first halt of the recommendation is all right at times, and the last half always right. THE VENEER TOO THIN! Last week Friday night, Champion Max Schmeling of Germany and Wim. Stribling of Georgia (hell) fought for the world's heavy-weight championship in Cleveland's beautiful new stadium. What a bap-tism for it! Two big, husky "white" brutes put on a barbaric exhibition which might delight the heathen of Africa, or any other part of the world, but ought not to be tolerated in any civilized community. For fifteen rounds, after shaking hands, they punched one another, wrestled and hugged until finally the "black-jowled German" struck the "Georgah cracker" a blow that floored him and practically knocked him out. "Well whipped from the ninth round on, weary of leg, bleary of eye, and bloody of face, the Pride of Georgia was trying to hang on, hold on—trying, so desperately, to last. Max Schmeling looked to the referee, and Mr. Blake acted in the name of humanity." He stopped the butchery. Stribling had been beaten to the floor of the ring and was helpless. This was in the fifteenth and last scheduled round. When Max "connected" with Willie's nose, decorating it thoroughly with blood, Miss Eleanor Clarage (white), who was in attendance upon the fight representing a Cleveland daily paper, wrote: "The lady in the pink dress said, 'Isn't it grand?' From all over the arena came feminine voices shouting 'Knock him out, Maxie!' or 'Sock him, Strib!' The girls yelled louder than the men—and offener. Looking around the vast amphitheater on the laked front, it seemed as if the women were watching as men watching the bloody victory. Young women, elderly women, motherly women and women with highly rouged lips and cheeks. There were even little girls. Who says a prize fight is the 'manly art,' anyway?" There were more than 35,000 people in the stadium to witness the brutal exhibition. Many of them wealthy, highly educated, of social prominence, many leading men and women in various sections of the country, even some from abroad, supposedly representing the cream of the civilization of today. They paid from $3 to $25 apiece, and possibly more, to say nothing of their expenses coming to Cleveland to see the fight, their expenses while here, and on the return to their homes. If two persons fight because of a grievance, there is some excuse for the same. But for two men, without a grievance of any kind, to shake hands and then begin to beat up one another until one succeeds FOR MONEY; and for thousands of supposedly intelligent people to pay large sums of money to witness the brutal exhibition is a true indication of the exceeding thinness of the veneer of civilization. It is also positive proof of a very slight removal from the barbaric state or status of the heathen. It is almost a crime to characterize or refer to prize-fights as demonstrations of the "manly art." Just how many male and female near-savages, with the exceedingly thin veneer of civilization, were parked in Cleveland's beautiful new stadium, last week Friday night? More than 35,000! DOINGS OF THE RACE. Samuel Betts, N. Y. City, who died, Dec. 13, '30, left Hampton Va. N. & I. Institute, $2500. Communists are "riding" Wm. Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted moo violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representation shall have a like right of action as one purpose of the jury or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6284.

(93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to indemnify the costs of action, in the next succeeding county, in such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. At such lynching a pelleter must at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the prisoner, which the mob can unless there was contributory diligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith'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 accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the persecutor 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. Editor HERE COMES A LIMEY, LET'S KID HIM A GIT YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL. YOU CAN'T TELL WHERE THE AMAN OR WOMAN IN THIS WEATHER --- Hi-Ja Che ATLANTA, J By EMMA LOU FETTA IT goes without saying that most men won't greatly like the headline of this article. We hope they won't see it for we aren't sitting in judgment. We're just observing something of a phenomenon. Dressed men are actually wearing cotton suits for evening and looking worlds cooler and happier than their brethren in the reactionary regalia of the ultra-conservative. We procured permission from Major Stuart W. Cramer, of the Carmel well dressed man in 1481 who wore on a stifling July or August evening. Major Cramer's tuxedo is made of a cool, creamy white durene cotton gaberdline—a porous, extremely absorbent, actually washable suit that gives great duriness, and the depth of appearance. It tailors exquisitely, as you see. Last summer on the St. Regis roof in New York, Major Cramer first introduced the white durene cotton tuxedo for summer evening weaved this at the time as did all observers in this section" trends. But now it is interesting to see that many intelligent and well dressed men have agreed Atty. Chester K. Gillespie on Wednesday reported a seventy-five dollar Municipal court judgment in favor of his client, a Mrs. Berry, and against one Hornyak, a restaurant proprietor in the southeast section of the city who refused her service, several months ago, because of her color. The judge was also instituted under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. --- "I OWE IT ALL TO HI-JA" How wonderful it is to be beautiful!

The boys had been worried to death by the garden not giving the boys our letters and by those NAACP people telling them all kinds of lies and showing them clippings from small town newspapers saying they were going to burn in the chair July 10. When we heard from them Walter White was coming here soon to try to get them to sign over the case to his organization we rushed down here to clear any poison out of their brains that might make them think of doing a thing like that. The boys told us they had never signed for Walter White and didn't expect to. Walter white is a liar if he says that we or any one of the boys wants him and his organization in this case.

SATURDAY. JULY 11. 1931 HEAR! HEAR!! Local Afro-Americans are complaining of discrimination at the public bath houses, pools and beaches. Is there anything that will make "The Blossom Triplets" wake up and do their duty to their constituents of color. It really is a shame that amounts to an outrage—their neglect of them. The local correspondent of a Chicago race paper said in its issue, last week: "Dr. Drew Walker usually gets what he goes after." This is a little hokum the young man is giving St. James' "bubble-gush" who tried to deliver our vote of the third and fourth councilmanic districts to the city-manager-plan people in that last charter contest and failed most miserably. The Rounder thinks Walker had better get that thirty odd thousand dollars needed to "save St. James," and let all kinds of politics alone, including that of the A. M. E. Church. Glenn Settle, E. 130th St., and Fleming Johns, E. 87th St., are said to have stood first and second in a civil service examination for the custodianship of Central police station, (salary, $2,175), the temporary custodian (white standing third. Now watch "The Blossom Triplets" (Coyoteclim Payne, Georgetown and Blythe) or either Settle or Jeans, if they do all their constituents will have heart failure. If there is one, there must be 50 members of the race, male and female, in this city, who have successfully passed civil service examinations for city and county jobs, standing 1, 2, 3 and 4 who have appealed in vain to "The Blossom Triplets" for the help needed in the position they honestly earned. As the race is near community is concerned, "The Blossom Triplets" are worse than a joke. They are positively racially injurious.

Will antiquated, mechanically faulty automobiles be ruled off the high- ways by law? ‘This is one of the questions that 1s being considered by the motoring public following the report\iat approsimately one‘alt of all the accidents occurring on the heavily trafficked highways were traced to poorly maintained automobiles. The report states that not only nearly half of the accidents are traceable to ancient wrecks of machines, but nearly all of the delays, which are nuuier- ‘ous, are occasioned by antiquated machines with neglected motors, defective brakes, or broken steering apparatus, ‘The conclusion is that-publie safety requires that cars,with faulty mech- ‘anism be kept off the road and that eventually states exerefSing their inherent power over the regulation of traffic will demand that all automobiles pass periodic mechanieal inspection. HAND SIGNAL IS VERY ESSENTIAL A motorist was rolling along Park ayenue in New York when 2 small white-gloved hand shot out of the ‘window of the car directly ahead and then disappeared “That woman is either going to <0 straight ahead, turn to the right. or turn to the left,” said the motorist. “I wonder what she's going to do. T had better keep in the rear until T know.” Followed Recommendations, And in keeping in the rear until able to interpret the siznal, that mo- torist did what such safety agencies ‘as the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety and the Silver- town Safety league recommend motor- ists to do. ‘There are almost as many opinions on the subjegt of motor vebievlar hand signals ag there are authorities on the subject of street and highway safets. But all seem to be agreed that uni- formity of hand signals is a desirable thing, Some communities haye one signal to indicate that the car Is about to slow down or stop, another to indi- cate a right-hand turn, another for a left-hand turn and s0 on, Put most authorities are of the opinion that one signal 1s enongh and that such signal {s simply a warning that something ts going to happen, Confusion Over Signals. Confusion over hand signals is a common cause of minor, annoying ac- cldents, The Silvertown Safety leazue which is pledging motorists to drive carefully, believes. the recommenda. tions of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety to make use of but one signal should he ‘tated. Proficiency Needed in Cleaning Spark Plugs More than a quarter of a century of cleaning spark plugs does not seem to. have encouraged much proficiency in this branch of ear care. Most own- era still use gasoline or kerosene to help Femove the carbon, Experience demonstrates that either of these fluids will leave a sticky film which adheres to the porcelain, Alcohol 1s preferable for this work for the reason that it evaporates. If there isn't any alcohol handy, just use a little metal polish, which’ contains a large amount of wood alcohol. Turn the plug upside down, pour in the fluid and let it stand a few minutes. Many motorists also make the mistake of scraping the porcelain usually with a knife. This results in making the glazed part rough.

COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION Badly Equipped Physicians With Poor Education Advocate “‘Jim-Crow’’ Hospitals and Loud- | Mouthed, Ignorant Ministers 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. Tosenwald’s heart is right in his benefactions, but some one is leading him wrong in attempting to get him to build sep- arate hospitals in cities Hike New |York City, There is no place for [racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built te cover the erime, race discrimina- tion, Many of our physicians com- ing North from southern sections are active In trying to establish these Separate hospitals. ‘There is no need for them here and these physicians ‘should know that they are just as un- [acceptable as their “race hospital jideas” are. | In Jersey City, with more than |300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the finest and best cquipped Vhospitals in this country. In these hospitals no discrimination is shown. Dr. Euelid Ghee, son of the well: known physician, Dr. Peter F. Ghee, has been appoluied on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hos- pital. Young Dr. Ghee is a gradu- jate of Harvard Medical school as |well as tho Harvard University Col- |lege department. By his ability, stu Giousness and good sense, he” has |worked himself up to the leading places in these hospitals, ir is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor educa- tion, are leaders in trying to have lestablished “jim-crow” hospitals. jOnly physiciaas of known ability [practice ‘and operate in first-class hospitals, Qur peopie have been [made the “staking. way” for ous unprepared physicians to do. thelr \butchering. It may be concluded |that, when one hears a loud noise about establishing some particular place for some colored professional man to ply lis trade, there is in the back-zround incompetency, —selfish- ness 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 owr men yelling for “race hospitals,” “Jim-crow Y's", ete., be- cause they are not prepared to ply their ade or enter “Y's” among men of standing and first-class qual- ifications. ‘The day of “race accom- modations,” to cover over race un- preparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great number of persons, trying’ to skim along on their “race love,” is nothing more Un 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 oxly colored men. Perhaps the “Negro” ministry is fa great sinner in this particular. ‘Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud- mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian yoice as their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignoranco apd ancient habits of our people, simply to get money out of them. A very little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and many of them are not third grade pupils ‘in grammar schools. ‘These Face-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 (Rev.)

(b) The corner- Stone of American democracy is “an equal opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!"—2 Cor. $:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our fa- ther; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all, we are brethren!!!"—Gal. 3:26, 28— is absolutely denied in toto by Jul- jus RosenWald’s method of charity as announced, “exclusively for Ne- groes.” (2) Why should be endeavor to foist “exclusively Negro hospitals” in the North?

EB. Ford, the Geauga patriarch who penned the diary, recalls many of the interesting events of years ago recorded in it. Helps Build Line The elder Ford aided in con- struction of Ohio’s first tele- phone line. Each farmer along the route furnished poles and carried the line along his land until at last the station was recshed, Then Burtonites paid ten cents per eall to talk into the distance. ; By token of their acceptance of the telephone’s practical value and the same foresight of other people in the nation, it is possible today to talk to a a Vien See ment in Lima over the pros- pect, but during the next few months a distinguished gentleman will visit the city. Egad —a national celebrity! Old inan Numerical Center, the big pole and wire man from the west, will pass through Lima this year, whizzing along on roller skates, in a wheel chair, or maybe by auto-gyro at the rate of nine and one half miles per year. Veteran of only 55 years, this ‘sage of Salem is ancient for his ‘age, having spent his life wander- ing’ willy nilly about the country searching for the fountain of con- versation and finding the fountain as fickle as a flea. Speeds Through Lima He vists Lima this year, accord- jing to the chief statistician of the ‘American Telephone and Tele- graph Company in New York, who figures out old man Numerical Center's journeys. The figures chow that the venerable gentleman was in Van Wert county, 24 miles ue east of Lima, at the beginning of 1980 and his rate of progress IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the owiy race, respousible mem- bers of which are im favor of submitting to discrimination om the claim tha: their race “always will be discriminated against." ‘The Jews are still contending, after: over 1900 Years of universal discrimina- on, and are winning even social rights today, The Irish at home have contended tor 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit, The race that says it’s cf no use ‘to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no ‘gucs’."” The world respects only those who resent and re- sist 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 Mberty, and forever resist de- nial of rights in owr native land, however long race dis- crimination may continue, To submit is to deserve ‘con- tempt.—Boston (Mass.)

In his whiskers, the big-fisted Prognosticator of telephone de- velopment carries the “median point” which divides the number of telephones in the United States into four equal parts—north, south, east and west.
