To Open Cleveland's City Hospital to Our Boys and Girls to Train as Internes and Nurse-Students, Respectively.
Madison, N. J., July 19, '31.
Hon. Harry C. Smith.
Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Sir:—I noted in your current issue that, after a three-year fight, you have won recognition and opened "Cleveland's City hospital to training of our boys and girls. I don't think citizens" deem it worth-while to praise you as a whole and, perhaps, think you have "only done your duty to the race," and that nothing (by way of commendation) is required of them. I commend your interest, ability and successful effort in their behalf—Num. 6:24-6.
Yours etc.

LIKES OUR EDITORIAL
On the Schmeling-Stribling Prize Fight Butchery, "The Veneer Too Thin"—"The Plain Dealer."
July 17, '31.
Hon, Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Mr. Smith: I have just received a clipping of your editorial "The Veneer (of Civilization) Too Thin," published July 11, '31, about the Schmeling-Stribling prize fight. I want to thank you for this expression of appreciation. The Cleveland Plain Dealer seemed to be very glad Cleveland's new stadium could be dedicated with a "grand" prize-fight, but when you consider that at least 25,000 of the 35,000 in attendance were from our of town, it would seem that Cleveland not back up the battle very well—which was a fine compliment to Cleveland.
My father taught me to be a friend of the colored race and I am mighty glad that a newspaper in the interest of the colored people should come out so strongly on the side of the right, as to this brutality, in a city where the "white" papers rejoice in it. God bless you in your efforts. I am a Presbyterian; age, about 60.
Yours truly,
(Rev.) G. H. L. Beeman.
"Chooctate" Champion At Last!
Philadelphia, Pa. — "Keed" Chocolate, the Afro-Cuban, is junior lightweight champion. The slender Havana newsboy scored a technical victory in a city before 15,000 of the home folks in National league ball park, last week Thursday night, to rise to championship heights that had been forecast for him ever since he arrived in New York from Cuba, three years ago. He has had several hundred fights in all and never been beaten in the city and been a colorful and a brilliant career.
Chocolate hammered Bass for two seconds short of seven rounds, slashed him about the face, mouth and nose and finally cut his left eye so badly with crashing rights that Referee Leo Houck stopped the one-sided duel after 2.58 of the seventh. In only the fourth round was Bass able to reach Chocolate with his looping left hooks to the body. In every other session but the first, which was even, he took a smashing chocolate weighted 125 pounds, well within the featherweight limit, while Bass, at $128\%$ was just short of the junior light-weight limit of 130 pounds.

NATIVE AFRICAN BOYS
Caged in New York Zoo—White American Parasites Show African Natives Their "Civilization"—Ought to Be Jailed.
New York City.—Two American parasites (white), Martin Johnson and his team returned from a hunting tour in Africa. They back with them many animals and two native Uganda boys all of whom they put in the New York Zoo. The native boys were caged with the animals. No distinction was made. No "jim crowism" permitted.
The New York Times of July 6th said: "The two Africans have insisted on staying in the zoo, where the man and his team are pen in the elephant house, with the Johnson's three gorillas and two chimpanzees as companions and with an elephant in the next pen as their nearest neighbor. The two large gorillas are caged, but the 40 pound baby gorilla and the two manatees about 60 of same size are permitted the freedom of the pen by the two black boys."
This vicious lie about the boys, "insisting" on staying in the zoo has been used to cover the vicious crimes of the Crusaders. News, Agency, N. Y., City.
THE FIGHT GAME
Editor, News:—If "following the fight game" is a favorite sport of T. G. Zulch he has nothing to be proud of. His suggestion of ping-pong to those not fight fans was too far out of range. There is no clean, wholesome fighting in the championship contests, as he suggested.
Prizzeh boxing is not a game; it is a nasty exhibit of beastiness, and for that reason sets a bad example for the young. The sight of two men, forgetting their humanness in lowering themselves to the level of wild beats drawing blood, certainly will not prevent a youth from turning coward and running away when he is hurt. Besides, there no virtue in a boy being able to fight.
Those approving of prizefights are brutes; their whole life is built on brutal instincts.
B. K. De Heck.

STADIUM GRAND OPERA
At Remarkably Low Prices and With Many of the Greatest Stars of the Musical World.
Tuesday evening, Cleveland's first great festival of summer opera opens in the new lake-front stadium with six magnificent performances scheduled for July 28th to Aug. 2nd at the lowest prices ever charged for grand opera anywhere in the world. Thirty great stars are already in Cleveland rehearsing with the choruses of 800 picked singers, an orchestra of nearly 100 and the ballet, under Rita de Leporte, of more than 100 dancing girls.
Cleveland's society, including Governor George White and his military escort, will be there in the great horse-shoe of boxes at the stadium while in the 19,000 perfect seats will be all of music-loving Ohio. Every seat is a reserved seat and prices range from twenty-five cents to two dollars, with the boxes and loges at three and five dollars.
The season opens at 8:30, Tuesday night, with the greatest production of Verd's "Alda" ever staged, with more than 800 people, horses, camels, and with the magnificent stage sets of Dr. Ernst Lert to add to the glory of Egypt. Then comes the triple bills on Wednesday evening, the "Lusticana" and climactic acts of "Lusticana" and "Die Meisteringer" which will be repeated again Saturday evening. Thursday's presentation is climactic acts of "Carmen", "The Bartered Bride" and "Die Meisteringer". "Alda" will be given again on Friday and Sunday evenings with a changed cast.
While the opera season is not designed to support the fund, but to produce grand opera in the grand availale, all the profits will go to the Davies Press Milk Fund to supply milk to undernourished children. Seats are on sale by Lyon & Healy's, 1226 Huron Road, and The Press Want-Ad Headquarters, 227 Euclid Avenue.
Neal's Protest!
Houston, Tex.—Prof. E. A. Neal of Kendleton is out in an open letter to Texas masons in opposition to their paying Grand Secretary W. M. McDonald $220,000 for 1407 shares (a controlling interest) of paid-in capital stock of the Fraternal Bank and Trust Company. If they do not head his protest, something apparently unlikely at this time, they will feel sorry for failing to do so in the not too distant future.

---
Harry Brunter of San Francisco has brought suit in the courts of Paris, France, against a Texan by the name of Felton who recently insulted him in a restaurant there. Felton is a naturalized Englishman, living in the south of France. Since the laws of France are strict, he will undoubtedly get his lesson, a much-needed one, apparently.
The nine Scottsbore, Ala. victims of southern prejudice, who were to have been electrocuted on July 10, have at least five months' stay of execution as the result of an appeal of their cases to a higher court; the U. S. Supreme court if necessary. The boys' defense to date has been ably conducted by two attorneys employed by the International Labor Defense (Communists), of New York City.
At the deposition hearing, July 13, for two $50,000 civil damage suits filed by a Barberton, O. newspaper photographer who charges clubbing injuries, a Barberton patrolman under oath testified that he didn't interfere when the newspaper photographer was being brutally clubbed during the Barberton anticommunist riot of June 26 because he didn't want to get his "head beaten off." It seems that this patrolman and another were appealed to in vain for help by two other Akron newspaper men when the newspaper photographer was being assaulted while trying to make a riot picture. This is another echo of the Barberton riot which resulted from the public protest of the Communists of Akron and Barberton against the brutal beating and disappearance of one of their number, in the person of C. Louis Alexander, a member of the race. In common with thousands of other residents of the state of Ohio, we are anxiously awaiting the report of the official investigation of the Barberton riots ordered, recently, by Gov. George White. It seems perfectly clear that the Mayor and police of Barberton, aided and abetted by the American legion of that vicinity and others, were entirely too active in a most brutal manner in their opposition to the activities of the Communists. Whether this is true or not, and also what became of Alexander who was alleged to have been spilted away by Barberton police and others, ought to be made clear in the report of the state investigators. And this report should be followed by proper legal action on the part of Communists of Akron and Barberton. This they owe Alexander, or his memory, as much as they owe it to themselves and their organization.
DE PRIEST'S SANHEDRIN
Congressman Oscar DePriest's proposed Sanhedrin, or "national" political conference, has already stirred up a fight between Robert A. Pelham, director of the Capital News Service, and Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, both of Washington, D.C. It seems that the former is spokesman for the Hawkins-Scott faction and the latter, spokesman for the DePriest faction. While both factions are supporters of the Hoover administration, the DePriest faction, at this time, shows a marked tendency toward political independence, at least so far as some of our vitally important national interests are concerned. This is causing a little nervousness in the faction headed by the "voeless wonders" as Editor Ben Davis of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent characterizes Dr. John R. Hawkins and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. The
result is, the verbal contest referred to, between Messrs. Pelham and Miller. The latter was first to attack, the former coming back at him, the past week, renewed the charges made in the Capital News Service initial release, on the proposed conference, which apparently greatly irritated Prof. Miller and, no doubt, Congressman DePriest and others of his followers. The thing about it all that is most amusing to "The Old Reliable" Gazette is that Pelham and Miller, DePriest, Hawkins, Scott and others, on both sides of the controversy, take themselves and the proposed conference so seriously while our readers of the country are looking on with a smile. All of the Washingtonians interested are job-holders, ex-job-holders, or would-be job-holders—far more interested in their own political future than in the vital interests of the race. "Twas ever thus!
HEAR! HEAR!!
A
WHAT'S DOING!
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—the neglect of them.
A sure solution of our people's trouble at the Woodland Hills and other public bath-houses, pools and beaches would be the placing of Afro-American placemen wherever the kuklux and other prejudiced elements of the community show a disposition to make trouble for our people. This is another thing that would have been done long ago if "The Blossom Triplets" were "worth a dime to their people."
"The statement of a local race paper, last week, to the effect that Perry Jackson's candidacy would "receive the support of the Republican organization" is positively silly because the organization is openly and avowedly supporting the candidacy for re-election of Councilman Charles Sacks, whose election to that body (to fill a vacancy) by the council itself was sponsored by Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican Organization. Perry won't stay in race. He certainly it too wise for that. Watch him pull out!
The Rounder asked the editor why certain local daily newspaper reporters refer to his Ohio Mobi Violence Act, or Anti-Lynching law, as a mob law provision of the general code, and his answer was characteristic. He said:
"They don't like it because it is effective and has carried the O. K. of the Ohio supreme court ever since 1896. Then it is hard on the Kluxans and all other mobcrats."
Amen! That satisfied The Rounder.
By the way, have you noticed
the many civil rights cases our
lawyers are winning under the editor's Ohio Civil Rights law? "O, Boy!"
Safety Director Edwin V. Barry and Health Commissioner Knapp are planning to station internes, who are to be paid $75 a month, on the new law, balances instead of the fremen who serve with police on the cars. During the past six months of operation, the four machines covered 28,757 miles, answered 3,942 calls and carried 3,366 persons. This latter, according to J. V. Washington, the supervisor of police ambulances. All The Rounder has to say is, if "The Biosom Triplets" are "worth a darn" one of the four internes will be a member of the trace. Watch and see what they do. Nothing, as usual?
---
A local daily paper, Sunday, announced that Raymond F. Dacek was appointed, late Saturday, an assistant law director. If "The Blossom Triplets" had worked just as hard to get Perry Jackson this position as they have to mislead him into the second district councillian race where he won't "cut given a chance toure," the district now be calling the position that Dacek has just been given. Seems like Perry, like another individual in this community The Rounder could name, cannot possibly make the "right connection" for some reason or other. Better go "in reverse," and try that way, brother.
Sunday's magazine section of "The Cleveland News" refers to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., as kinky-haired, eccentric and overly emotional friend called The Rounder's attention to this interesting little reference addressed the following to Cornelius:
"Welcome to the fold, brother, and see Garret Morgan (an Afro-American candidate for the council whose candidacy we overlooked in our last issue) and have him straighten the kinks."
Pretty tough on Cornelius, isn't it? This is something like the charge made against U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding when he was a candidate for the Presidency. Remember it? Only the latter was an Afro-American and this is hardly true of the Vanderbilts.

Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upholded the constitutionality of the law and it has been MO Section

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 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:
OBS.
ed.
d representative of victim of lynching or mob trying to lynch another.
d costs in tax levy.
..
nst member of mob.
nst another county.
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, who have a like right of action as one purpose enjoined or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (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 law for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 628b. 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 other person. A person present, with hostile intent 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 county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the lynching or 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:
The General Code of Ohio:
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 fifty dollars, and any person aggrieved thereby to be recovered 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.

APPEALS FLOOD ALABAMA FOR THE EIGHT VICTIMS
More than 2000 Messages From All
Over World Lawyers Legal
Middle-Middle-Middle
Montgomery, Ala., July 22. There is a constantly growing file of cablegrams, telegrams and petitions in the offices of Gov. B. M. Miller pleading for the lives of the eight Scotsboro victims, sentenced to death for an alleged attack on two railroad trains bound to rail in a box car. The appeals are arriving daily from two continents. There are now more than 2000. At the same time callers have come to make verbal protests. A majority of the petitions are from labor organizations. Typical is one from the Canadian Labor Defense League. The legal lynchings and railroading death of eight young Negro-American workers of Scotsboro, and we demand the unconditional release of the young victims of the savage lynch laws," reads the petition. It declares that the league "holds the governor responsible for the safety of these workers," and demands a trial for them "with a jury composed 50 per cent of Negro Americans."
Another petition came across the Atlantic from Germany. Five hundred signatures are on it. Its cap-reads, "Framed up by bosses and sentenced to die in Alabama." The death sentences are termed "an unenchable disgrace to civilization." The fight is not only for the release of nine boys, but is also a vital fight for the elementary rights of Negro-Americans that have been denied under capitalism," a third petition reads.
Among the appeals from individuals are many from doctors, dentists, lawyers, school teachers, business men and clergymen. The boys are awaiting execution for their alleged attacks on two prostitutes, hoobos who were riding in a box car, while burns on a freight train in northern Alabama. If the State Supreme Court declares that their trial in a courtroom surrounded by national guardmen, etc., etc., was illegal, the boys will get a new trial.
For the benefit of all of our contemporaries we desire to say that the Cleveland City hospital was opened to our internes and its nurse-training school opened to our girls to train, by the Walz resolution which passed the City council of Cleveland the first of last year.

ANOTHER BARBERTON RIOT.
Again the question was asked at a public mass meeting in Barberton: What happened to the colored Communist agitator, C. Louis Alexander, who appeared in the murders while falling into the hands of the police? Again, June 27, the question was answered by savage brutality on the part of the police, with black Jacks, billy-clubs, and tear-gas bombs, and a mob of citizens led by 'special deputies.' Besides a score of Communist sympathizers who were injured, other citizens suffered. Houses of people near the square, people who had no interest in the dispute, were flooded with gas and rendered unlivable for the night. Barberton officialdom and its tear gas are becoming a stench in the nostrils of the whole state. They do not help to make Ohio a pleasant place to live for people who believe in orderly government. The police in Barberton police react to every public inquiry into the fate of the missing Negro Communist does not tend to lessen curiosity as to what actually did happen to him—Editorial from The Cleveland Daily Press.
Barberton Quiz Thursday
Akron, O.—Summit county grand jury opened its probe into the C. Louis Alexander disappearance, Thursday, the jurors announced, Monday, in requesting County Prosecutor Don Isham to subpena witnesses for that day. The vanishing of Alexander, Barberton Afro-American labor leader, resulted in the calling of a Communist protest meeting in the suburban city that ended with newspaper men and spectators being clubbed and gassed, by officers.
This Is the Truth!
Mrs. Wm. G. Montgomery (white), writing in the National Catholic Welfare Conference Review of this month says: "We need to inborn mental inferiority in Negroes. There is no inborn moral inferiority in them. Whatever differences there are are due to environment, not to inheritance. They live, indeed, under tremendous handicaps, but the handicaps are due (in a very small measure) to the lack of opportunities needed for centuries before they were forcibly brought to the United States."
Ever so mild, yet it cleanses thoroughly, helping you to keep your complexion clear and fresh looking. Equally gratifying as a shampoo.
A snow-white cream, applied as directed, maintains a body freshness which the bath imparts. Why worry about embarrassing body odor?

CHARACTER
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-eight years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR.
My ear is pained,
My soul is sick with every
day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is filled,
There is no flesh in man's ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man; the
natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as
the flax
That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of
a skin
Not colored like his own; and
having power
To enforce the wrong, for such
a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother,
and destroys:
'Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.

‘What a joy to have the bowels move
like clockwork, every day! It’s easy, if

‘old doctor:
1. Drink a big tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several times
a day.
2. Get plenty of exercise without unduly
fatiguing yqurself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly
the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at times,

Syeup Pepsin, Thea you'll get a good

MANNER OF PREVENTING JAY-WALKING
PARKING LOT
An extensive program of street walking, aimed at the prevention of jay-walking and the lessening of accidents, was started In Philadelphia recently by painting pedestrian markers across various important street intersections.
REGULAR CHANGE OF SPARK PLUGS
Best to Insert New Devices at the End of Every 10,000 Miles.
Sometimes one asked for definite reasons why it is recommended that spark plugs should be changed every 10,000 miles.
Here are some of the reasons as set forth by automotive engineers:
"At the end of 10,000 miles spark plugs are generally pretty well worn out. Electrodes are usually badly burned and pitted, the insulator is covered with carbon through which some of the current leaks; or there is a harmless looking deposit on the surface of the insulator which at high speeds may cause preignition.
Waste Gasoline.
"Worn out plugs waste gasoline because they miss at certain speeds, allowing gas to pass without firing. By causing hard start (and consequent heavy choking) they not only waste gasoline through not igniting it, but this raw gas sees through into the crankcase oil, dilutes it rapidly and necessitates an oil change earlier than would otherwise be necessary.
"Hard starting (usually due to old worn out spark plugs) besides wasting gasoline, runs the battery down, making more frequent recharging necessary.
"Wasted gasoline, battery recharging or rebuilding, possibly a new coil, and time lost, amount to a great deal more in actual money than a set of spark plugs.
Favor New Plugs.
"Recognizing these conditions, car manufacturers recommend new plugs every 10,000 miles. While the life of spark plugs varies according to conditions under which they are used, it has been found that by recommending changing at 10,000 miles maximum efficiency of spark plugs is assured, tending to give the engine the powerful performance originally built into it.
Pulling Truck Out of
The farm truck or car that has to go through all kinds of roads should be equipped with a one-man fence stretcher with a worm screw or ratchet arrangement of some kind. If the truck gets mired down the stretcher can be rigged up to a post or tree and the truck can be pulled out easily. In case a tree or other anchorage is not conveniently located an ordinary steel post can be driven in the ground ahead of the car and will give sufficient pull to move most trucks.
In driving the stake or post it should be driven in the ground with the top leaning toward the car at an angle of 45 degrees but not quit in direct line. The idea of driving the stake vertical or leaning away from car is wrong, it will hold better sloped toward the pull. When chains or lugs cannot be at-
Color Blind Drivers
One man in every twelve sent to the garden to pick tomatoes probably will return with green as well as red ones, because all tomatoes look alike to him. When the "twelfth man" is driving an automobile he naturally tends to confuse red and green signal lights. This conclusion was announced by Dr. Walter V. Bingham, industrial psychologist, after a "color blind" survey.
MOTOR QUIZ
Q. When was wheel steering introduced in American practice, superseding tiller steering?
A. 1900.
Q. When and where was the first automobile endurance contest?
A. In 1901, from New York to Buffalo.
Q. When was the rear-entrance tonneau-type of body introduced?
A. In 1901.
Q. Where was the first law made regulating automobile traffic?
A. Connecticut, in 1901.
Q. When were ignition locks first used?
A. In 1905.
Q. Are spark plug gap sizes important for good engine performance?
A. Yes. Use feeler gauge and set gap accurately to engine maker's recommendation. Inspect or have the service station man inspect the gaps twice a year.
Accurate Test of Spark
Plugs for Pesky Shorts
A spark plug that functions in the open air may not work in the cylinder because the compressed charge of gas offers greater resistance to the spark than does air at atmospheric pressure.

pressure. The illustration shows how to test a plug for internal shorts. Placing the mica as shown increases the gap and the spark jumps internally if the plug is defective.—Popular Science Monthly.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
The cost of labor in constructing a concrete road is about 52 per cent of the total cost.
Singing in the rain may be encouraged by the recent invention of a two-fold slicker device for rumble seats.
The wear on tires on a loose macadam road is about ten times as great as the wear on the average concrete road.
An automobile will give about twice the mileage per gallon on a concrete road as on an earth road. Good brick road ranks second.
Before installing new light bulbs check the battery connections. Looseness in them may have caused the bulbs to burn out in the first place.
This business of driving away just because one has never been properly introduced to the pedestrian he knocks down is carrying something too far.

WRAP-AROUND SKIRT WHICH CAN BE CHANGED INTO CHIC TIE-ON CAPE
FASHION'S latest edict is for the hand-crocheted beret minus a lining. All the girls are making these cute little caps, which they have dubbed "roll-your-ewn." from pearl or mercerized crochet cotton. A cap like either of the models illustrated requires four balls of the crochet cotton, and a No. 3 steel crochet hook. It costs only about fifty cents for the material and if you are a rapid worker this jaunty headpiece can be made in "no time."
The advantage of the large crochet hook is two-fold—it gives a more lace effect and it speeds the work. The openwork crochet of the berets shown here reflects the present vogue which calls for open-mesh effects. Some of the newest fabrics appear almost as if they were course square-mesh nets, or of flet crochet.
This flair for open-mesh has led to a revived interest in hand-crochet. Many Paris frocks shown in the most exclusive shops have filet-crochet yokes and other trimming touches. Why not crochet your own yokes? It is really becoming quite a fad among women who do fancywork. Note the attractive crochet trimmings on the print
WRAP-AROUND SKIN
CHANGED INTO
HERE'S efficiency for you—the five-way costume. An ensemble fashioned after the manner of the model pictured will solve the biggest part of the vacation clothes problem for by wearing this and that together it can be changed into five smart styles. For the girl with a limited pocketbook it is a real "find."
Worn as you see in the picture it is ideal for traveling. The nifttiest thing about this costume is its wrap-around skirt which can be turned into a tie-on cape. You will be needing a cape to throw over your other light dresses and here you have it all ready-to-wear—no extra luggage. The print dress looks ever so chic topped with its little bolero, minus the wrap-around skirt, and when you want to appear quite summery simply lay aside both bolero and top skirt and in your sleeveless gown you are all ready for bridge or afternoon tea at the club.

brocks in the accompanying picture.
Fashion's latest whim is the crocheted ascot scarf with matching cuffs such as shown below in the illustration. With the exception of the decorative row of lacy cross-stitch at each end, the neckpiece is formed of alternating rows of double and single crochet stitch in groups of two. The ends are shaped by increasing and decreasing the number of stitches. To increase the rows in shaping the ends, make two stitches together at each end and at equal distances across the row. To decrease the width, skip one stitch at each end and at equal distances across.
The cuffs are merely straight crochet pieces with the cross-stitch row in the center. Crochet buttons are used with loops for fastening.
To make this set requires three balls of mercerized crochet or tatting thread in No. 20, and a No. 8 steel crochet needle. You can crochet it in white, cern, or any desired color. If you decide on other than white be sure to get boltifast color so that you can wash the set as you would a handkerchief.

More and more, now that life is resolving itself into a program of one week-end trip after another, with excess baggage out of the question since the majority of pleasure seekers motor here and there, designers are considering the clothes problem from the standpoint of efficiency.
There is, for instance, the two-jacket dress which is a result of the newly directed effort toward making one costume with variations do duty for several. In additional to its own jacket of self-material the frock adopts another, either of velvet or taffeta.

COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION
IN HOSPITALS AND Y. M. C. A.'s HERE IN THE NORTH, DENOUNCED!
(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 to cover the crime, race discrimination, 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 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 who 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 one of 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 poise 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 staff, there is in the back-background incompetence, self-fashion 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, they are of persons, trying, to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men.
Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principal asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated in the 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 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 latex in the classroom and Negro" ministers and 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,
Oregon.
Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Kind Sir:—I know you are a busy man; therefore, my remarks will be brief:
(1) For many years I have concluded that the Julius Rosenwald system of "Christian Philanthropy" (I think that is the operating name) in erecting and maintaining schools 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 directly opposed to principles of Christianity.—Matt. 7:12; John 13:34; Matt. 6:8-10:12-14. (b) The cornerstone of American democracy is "an equal opportunity for all fields, fields endever, without partiality, or hypocrisy"—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our father; Christ Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all, we are brethren"—"Gal. 3:26, 28" 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 will be erected and enforced (in a spiteful spirit) by both peoples American civilization? Gal. 6.7. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent, Madison N. J.

NO, this charming bedspread isn't silk or satin. It's made of dureen cotton which means that it is dainty and summery, yet formal enough for fall; that it is strong, durable and washable. It is very likely, too, that in the future we will see many more of these serviceable well styled spreads replacing, in the better stores, the somewhat sleasy ones of the past few years.
The home economics experts started the ball rolling toward a spread representing all these qualities. They questioned various manufacturers about the phenomenal number of cheaply made bedspread on the market.

A GOWN with the kind of bows which bring flocks of beaux was shown us the other afternoon at one of the leading American houses. It is illustrated above. The frock was simplicity itself. It had a delightfully cut skirt and nicely molded bodice. Interest and charm resided in the delightful texture of the material—an example of the softest kind of duree cotton. The subdued luster was at once rich and restrained. Then there was the pert bow. We can see any number of girls clamoring for this dress for no

IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 1800 years of universal discrimination, 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 self-esteem." 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, longer long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

which has the desirable soft luster, the depth of surface, the durability and washability, and the color-taking qualities needed for the lovely pastels of the typical bedroom?" And so the bedspread makers have been scurrying around, investigating the matter, and in our illustration we see the new spreads which has resulted. A particularly desirable quality about these spreads — as any housewife will at once recognize — is their lightness of weight. This is pleasantly contradictory to the satiny look of the spread and its firmness of weave. The design, too, is attractively appropriate for a Colonial bedroom or a very modern room. The motif has been borrowed from a dawn tipped morning glory blossom.

other reason than its utter charm.
However, there might be other reasons for this frock can be put in the laundry with assurance that it will "come through" fresh, crisp, and dainty as ever. That is, of course, if your laundress is capable of giving reasonable commonsense care to her duties. A very commendable feature of many of these new durene cottons is that they are successfully laundered with obvious financial saving to their owners, an item not to be over-looked since summer frocks must be kept so immaculately fresh.
