A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE That of "Aida" Astounding—Stadium Grand Opera (Open Air) a Great Success—Other Operas, Thousands of music lovers from all Ohio will make Cleveland their musical mecca this week-end for the final performances of the magnificent open-air opera season which has been making new grand opera history in the city's gigantic stadium. The six-day season does not end until Sunday evening when the final great "Alda" is to be given in the big bowl. After thrilling over the spectacular operas the first part of this week, operasers are awaiting these week-end performances as the celebrated Helen Gahagan, the singing star of Broadway, is to make her American grand opera debut, this Saturday evening, as Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana" which will be part of a triple bill. This complete bill also includes the third act of "La Gioceana" with the beautiful "Dance of the Hours" done by the ballet of 100 under Miss Rita De Leoport, and the final scene of "Die Meistersinger" in which Cleveland's noted Czech chorus will be heard. The closing performance of "Aida" on Sunday evening will be presented on the same lavish scale which marked the earlier performances. Elda Vettori of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York is the prima donna soprano and with her will be such noted stars as Coe Glade, sensational contralto who has made such a hit this week; Paul Althouse of Metropolitan famine; Gluseppe Mantovani, Guild Guidi; Mario Cozzi, Francesco Curci and Rachel Van Cleve, Clevelanders will get to see for the first time the Triumph of Rhadames scene in this Verdi opera, a scene which includes more than 800 people as well as camels, mounted horsemen, war chiefs and other effects of pageantry. Critics have hailed the production of "Aida" in the stadium as the greatest given anywhere in the world. All the profits of the season are being turned over to the Cleveland Press Milk Fund to provide milk for under-nourished children, it has been announced. The Press is sponsoring the season of grand opera given in the "grand manner." Tickets for the week-end performances are on sale during the day at Lyon and Bastille, and held at the Stadium Box Office prior to the performances. The prices, from twenty-five cents to two dollars, are the lowest ever charged for grand opera on this elaborate scale. HOOVER DAM! No Place for Veterans or Others to Go Looking for Work. These Veterans' Division. Boulder City, Nevada, July 15, '31 E. P. Driscoll, Asst. Mgr. U. S. Employment Service, 347 Hanna Bldg. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Driscoll:—Your letter under date of July 7, 1931, has been received at this office and I am taking this opportunity to reply. The unemployment condition here has reached a very acute stage. We have received at some times on file this office over a thousand applications for positions of all kinds, and have only been successful in placing a few hundred of these men. The war veterans, who, according to the specifications are to be given preference so far as practicable, are flocking into this community now, and we have at least five hundred applications from these individuals seeking employment here. Regardless of the propoganda that has been released by various individuals, I do not think that there will be more than a few hundred men employed at any one time on the Hoover Dam construction, until possibly the second year of operation. As you can readily see there is at this time a great surplus of labor here, which condition is going to continue to exist as long as the press of the United States continues to publish erroneous articles on the employment situation here. Yours very truly, Leonard T. Blood. Supt. Boulder City Office. Dept. of Labor. Soon to Be Tried. Montgomery, Ala. The trial of Roy Wright the only one of our nine innocent Scottsboro boys not already railroaded toward the electric chair, will come up very soon. He will be defended by Gen. Geo. W. Chamlee, in this case acting chief counsel for the International Labor Defense. The same lawyers will defend our 60 share-croppers who were arrested at Camp Hill, Ala., simply because they expressed a desire to organize against peonage, share-cropping and debt slavery. Their meeting was shot up in Klan mob attacks, deputies sheriff, and guards who were killed. The innocent victims who defended their lives are now being tried on false charges ranging from conspiracy to murder and to carrying concealed weapons. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WITH THE PRESBYTERY! LAFAYETTE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF JERSEY CITY "THE BONE OF CONTENTION". Prejudiced Whites at the Bottom of It "Whipped to a Frazzle"—Led by a Southerner, of Course—Great Victory for Dr. Byrd. (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—On April 17th, 1928, the presbytery of this city dissolved the pastoral relations between Rev. Wm. A. Byrd and Lafayette Presbyterian church of Jersey City. At the time of dissolution there were no charges of any kind and the presbytery in so doing acted arbitrarily, relying upon the action of presbyterial council which had inquired into a reported trouble within the church. The facts are these: (a) Because Dr. Byrd, who founded and established a church in a sea coast city, Asbury Park, N. J., refused to endorse a minister that certain white men desired to take care of the church, these men became enraged and began a fight to have him removed from the Presbyterian Church. (b) The committee that received the report of Dr. Byrd congratulated him upon giving the best report ever rendered a committee of synod within the period of fifty years, and his rejection of the man desired to become pastor proved to be wise because the man very soon thereafter dislodged himself and was driven out of the town and church. (c) When Lafayette congregation received the report of its auditing committee in 1927 showing that large sums of money had been spent by the board of trustees without authority of the congregation, with nothing to show for what the money was spent, it asked the pastor to settle the matter with the trustees and report to it. (d) The pastor demanded a strict accounting for the movies which the trustees could not give and the white men, hearing that dissatisfaction was in the church, entered into an alliance with these trustees to get rid of the pastor as a means for them to escape accounting. But, in the meantime, Lafayette church was again incorporated under the church law, and in the incorporating the trustees under investigation were refused election to the newly incorporated board of trustees. (1) Against the action of Presbytery and its Council, Dr. Byrd and the majority of the members of Lafayette church appealed to the synod to appeal and appointed a judicial commission to hear the case. The first 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 companion with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

The Bottom of It "Whipped to a Southerner, of Course— ry for Dr. Byrd. commission failing to properly organize and showing every evidence of bias, Dr. Byrd made a protest to synod and it dismissed the commission and appointed another committee to hear the matter. This com- mittee reported to synod at its last meeting in Atlantic City, Oct. 1930, and in this report synod failed to sustain' the action of Presbytery but returned all of the papers in the case back to the Presbytery with definite instructions as to its adjudication. When a case is returned to a lower judiciary on appeal, all parties to the controversy are as they were before the appeal was had or the action taken which caused the appeal. Hence Pastor Byrd and the majority of his congregation were in charge of the church by this decision. But Presbytery in order to complicate the case had installed Rev. Charles Freeman as pastor of Lafayette church, and it did so a few days after synod had sustained the appeal. His pastorate is both illegal and was not made up, and turns out that Mr. Freeman had been ing with disgruntled persons of the church since 1922 for he, Rev. Charles Freeman, voluntarily came to Pastor Byrd at Camden, N. J., in February, 1922, and said he wanted to confess to his wrong doing as he had helped to instigate trouble in that church. (g) Instead of Presbytery adjusting the case as ordered by synod, it proceeded in Nov., 1930, to draw charges against the Rev. W. A. Byrd and appointed or elected a judicial commission to try the charges in the name of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. Dr. Byrd acted as his own counsel and before a trial could come to a head, routed the prosecution, showed the charges had no basis in hassling as a consequence, they were dismissed, Dr. Byrd was good and regular standing. Even after a certain few in Presbytery, who had been a party to this illegal and un-Presbyterial procedure had been beaten, it sought through race prejudice to rally white men to vote to show "Colored Brethren" that they had to recognize "white supremacy". The leader in this is a southerner of the ku klux type, but his southern policy could not prevail in a Presbytery where courage and justice ably were used. City Presbytery, when it found that the officer in its power to correct the wrong done to pastor and majority of the people, and the leaders in this making-amends-for-the-past were two outstanding ministers of Jersey City and one elder of First Presbyterian church which founded the Lafayette church. During these three years of ecclesiastical litigation, Dr. Byrd conducted his own case while the brains of the Presbyterian church could be required to keep Presbytery from losing. The Presbytery lost! Dr. Byrd won. The ecclesiasticalations were restored between him and the Presbytery excepting the "die-hards" and he is not anxious about them for it is a question whether such men can be fair to any one. This statement is given the public in order that it may know that at no time has Dr. Byrd been under any shadow, that the action of dissolution was taken not because of the Lafayette church but because certain white men wanted the scalp of Dr. Byrd. But even in this, they failed. All statements published reflecting upon Dr. Byrd were libellous and malicious and were without founda- (Continued on Page 2, Col. 2) The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN UNION IS STRENGTH 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 325,000 in Ohio. 75,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1931. The Big Brother and Big Sister conference was one of the organizations which promoted the passage of the new five-day marriage bill which went into effect July 23, '31. Its constituent groups, Big Sister Council, Jewish Big Brothers, Jewish Big Sisters, Catholic Big Brothers and Catholic Big Sisters, are financed through the Community Fund and are actively engaged in welfare work. Where are the "Negro" Big Brothers and "Negro" Big Sister groups "actively engaged in welfare work?" The Lord knows we sorely need, these days, such organizations "financed thru the Community Fund." "NATIONAL BENEFIT." The most encouraging news to come out of the nation's capital in recent weeks, relative to the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., was received this week in a release sent out by "Edward H. Lawson, editorial dept., Washington (D. C.) Post." Mr. Lawson announces that "the crisis in the affairs of the company has been passed with a six hundred and fifty-thousand dollar retrenchment" and that "no compromise of policyholders' interests is contemplated by insurance heads or counsel." The new officers of the company seem to have taken hold of the situation with a determination not only to save it but also to strengthen it. This is sure good news because the "National Benefit" was one of our few leading business enterprises and because, if the life insurance business is to prosper among our people, it could ill afford to have a second experience like that of the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., a few years ago. HOPKINS, A SPEAKER! Some "Negroes" never know when they are kicked enough. They are the kind that make harder the lot of our people generally. A case in point is that anniversary celebration, one night last week, of a local pastor's "forty-five years in the ministry." Among the speakers for the occasion was former city manager, Wm. R. Hopkins. This is the man who for more than five years, while at the head of Cleveland's city government, kept our boys and girls only, of all the boys and girls of the many groups or races in this community, from training in the City Hospital. He wouldn't permit our girls to enter the school for nursing at that public institution, nor our internes to train there. In the face of this, he was one of the principal speakers at Second Mt. Olive Baptist church's celebration, referred to, the dinner for which was served in the Christian community center, Scovill Ave. near E. 28th St. LORD, HAVE MERCY! Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it. I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of his power, and if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) DR. BYRD WINS (Continued from Page 1) tion. He now takes up his fellowship with the Congregational Church. There is a working agreement between it and the Presbyterian Church, U. S.

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. Ex-Manager Wm. R. Hopkins grossly insulted the foreign element of our city in his controversy with George Bender, stadium commissioner, many months ago, and yet he has secured control of several foreign language newspapers of this city. Are you, our so-called foreign citizens, going to resent or lay down and smile at that miserable insult? 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 policemen wherever the ku klux 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." Rev. and Mrs. Boston J.

ENGINEERS PERFECTING SKY SPEECH Science not only has given man wings, but also has given him a voice in the air and electrical ears with which to hear what is said to him from the earth. Hurtling through a night sky or in a night sky or enveloped in murky clouds, pilots of mail or transport planes today are guided by radio telephone signals. Two-way telephone service has been established between many planes and airports so that the pilots not only hear, but also are able to converse with persons on the ground. murky clouds, pilots of mail or transport planes today are guided by radio telephone signals. Two-way telephone service has been established between many planes and airports so that the pilots not only hear, but also are able to converse with persons on the ground. F. M. RYAN Research to improve these communication systems is being carried on constantly by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York under the direction of F. M. Ryan. Mr. Ryan recently led an expedition of three planes which passed over Ohio, stopping at Cleveland and Dayton. During the trip, members of Ryan's party were in constant two-way communication with Hadley Field, N. J., demonstrating that the aerial telephone has a range of hundreds of miles. The aerial telephone equipment weighs about 150 pounds and the pilot himself operates it. With properties costing more than $4,000,000,000, the Bell System has items of expenditure such as four or five hundred million dollars annually for new construction, vast sums for keeping telephone equipment in good order, and a payroll running into hundreds of millions a year, while on the income side are such diverse items as a few cents for a local telephone call, or $30 and upward for a call to some foreign country. The Bell System is spending an average of $1,500,000 every working day for new construction, basing its outlay on optimism borne out by facts.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mon violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio 'aw. 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 representatives shall have a like right of action upon such person injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162) 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 include it with the costs of action, in the proceeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 $.) 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 country, 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. The intent, at such lynching shall be determined 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 judgment which the mob came, unless there was contempt for gengence 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: 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities, facilities, 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 hundred dollars to the per-merer 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.

Boston, Mass. — Lou Brouillard, that amazing young weltweight from Worcester, scored the most sensational victory of his career, last week Thursday night, when his rushing, two-fisted attack forced Champion Young Jack Thompson into an apparent defeat in a non-title ten-round, fight against Thompson, fighting one of his infrequent victories, since he won back the title from Tommy Freeman at Cleveland, was punished with a terrific body barrage in the late rounds, which turned the tide of victory to Brouillard, one of whose recent conquests was over Paul Pirrone of Cleveland. Brouillard's rushing tactics failed to accomplish much during the early rounds, but he was able to win the rights which Thompson shot at his head. The battle was even with the ending of the sixth. Brouillard took the seventh. It was again even in the eighth, and Brouillard clinched the battle in the ninth after being By RI WHAT'S FUNNY? WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE? THE CHANCES?

EXPERT TRIMMERS KEEP BELL LINES FREE FROM TREES Eliminate Interference and Retain Beauty of Nature's Work Damaging or impairing the beauty of trees finds no favor in the policy of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, which has spent thousands of dollars to determine the most advantageous method of clearing the way for telephone wires. This policy was stimulated a few years ago by an active campaign, carried on throughout Ohio by telephone men working with experts in tree preservation. Telephone workmen engaged in clearing the way for Ohio Bell wires were instructed and the general public was informed of company measures employed in the protection of trees. Conditions were studied throughout the state and the findings were placed frankly before public gatherings, throughout the state. One result was a plan whereby property owners were paid to trim their own trees after being instructed in proper methods of preserving the tree and yet eliminating it as a source of faulty telephone transmission. A manual on tree trimming prepared by the Ohio Bell states that although pruning may be done at any season, the most rapid healing will probably take place following late spring or early summer trimming, when the tree is in full growth. "To trim in the spring, especially maples and birches, will result in 'bleeding' or loss of sap," the booklet says. **Never Fatal** "This is never fatal. It is questionable whether it is seriously injurious except to the nerves of sympathetic observers. "Fall and winter are the favorable seasons for interference trimming because of the absence of foliage. A perfect view of the branches can be obtained then. "Every cut that has been made larger than $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter should be painted with a thick, dark colored paint. This is a protection against the entrance of decay and boring insects until the bark has had time to grow over it, besides making the cut unnoticeable." Trees Steal From Wires Trees are conductors of electricity. Whenever they touch telephone wire, they steal from them some of the small amount of electricity which is necessary to carry the spoken message successfully. Tree trouble is often responsible for loss of secrecy in conversations when the wires in use come in contact with one another. Humming noises and annoying interference are also the result of tree trouble. Neither telephone nor power lines injure trees. Tree lines, in fact, are practically harmless to the environment because of their low amperage.

To him this simple but effective mechanism means salvation from frost-bitten ears and frozen feet. A In days before the electrical genius of telephone engineers put Wheatstone's bridge to work as a trouble finder, the life of a lineman sometimes approached that of an Arctic explorer. When a line broke, he started out in the face of the severest blizzards, trudging mile after mile through snow and ice, to search for the break. His mission often continued through an entire day and into the night until he finally discovered the source of trouble and repaired it. Search Is Short But those days are gone forever thanks to Wheatstone's invention. Now when a line breaks, the lineman lets modern science do his searching. As soon as a line goes "dead," lights in the telephone plant headquarters nearest the break flash a warning signal. A testboard operator immediately hooks a Wheatstone bridge into the faulty circuit and the search is begun. The bridge is a highly sensitive mechanism which can measure electrical resistance with extreme accuracy. Using the bridge as a gauge, the operator determines the electrical resistance met by a current flowing from the telephone office to the point of the break. With this data at hand, he calls upon his knowledge of resistance of copper wire per mile and figures out, within the distance of a few telephone poles, the location of the break. The above photograph shows R. D. Baird, of The Ohio Telephone Company, operating a bridge in one of the company's plants.

Potential causes of punctures thus are cleared off Missouri roads in wholesale amounts. Usually a day's run, with the truck covering about 50 miles of road surface, brings an average of 112 pounds of miscellaneous metal—nails, bolts, springs, staples, tin cans and scrap iron. On the assumption that the magnets' work prevents 1,000 punctures a day, C. P. Owens, maintenance engineer of the highway department, says the outfit means a saving of at least $500 a day to motorists, figuring each puncture's cost at 50 cents. With one manget hanging from the rear of the truck, and two others at the slides, the truck can clean a strip of surface from seven to eight feet wide. Operating Apparatus. The operating apparatus consists of a 110-volt compound wound generator equipped with panel, voltmeter, ammeter, automatic discharge switch and powered by a five horse power gasoline engine, all mounted on the truck. Experiments have shown the magnets operate efficiently when adjusted to a height of four inches above the road surface, with a truck moving at ten or twelve miles an hour. It is necessary to "demagnetize" every four *s* five miles to clear off the magnets' collection. Speed Motorways Vision of Traffic Authority Prediction that within the next quarter century all major centers of population will be connected via high-speed motorways, such as is now proposed to be constructed between New York and New Haven, Conn., was made recently by W. L. Hinds, traffic authority. "The rapid motorization of entire members of the American family, which is adding many thousands of new cars on our roads every month, is making such high-speed motorways not only necessary but imperative," Mr. Hinds states. "A street or highway, like a railroad track system, can only carry up to a certain maximum traffic charge, and when this is exceeded, congestion, delay and oftentimes injury result. Authorities estimate that even at the present time existing traffic congestion is costing this nation approximately $2,000,000 a year." Pressure Reading Does Not Determine Quantity It does not pay at any time to accept the pressure reading on the dash oil gauge as final on the amount of lubricant in the crankcase. This is particularly true in the summer. The gauge is an efficient mechanism but it is not devised to record the amount of oil. To determine accurately, the gauge under the oil filter pipe should be read. This should not be construed as reflecting on the dash gauge. It is designed to record oil pressure not oil quantity. There is a great difference. Reckless Driver Target of Laws in 12 States Safety responsibility laws now in effect in 12 states are providing valuable experience in the nation's quest for the solution of the problem presented by the reckless and irresponsible driver. The law in whole or in part is now in effect in the following 12 states: New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, California, Iowa, Maine, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Vermont, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Minnesota.

The illustration shows a way to eliminate this trouble. A light spring VALVE HEAD LIGHT SPRING FELL WORN BORE GUIDE GUIDE VALVE STEM VALVE SPRING INTAKE VALVE Spring and Washer on Inlet Guides Stop Leaks. is fitted over the valve stem and a felt or leather washer is fitted on the stem with a hole that will just allow the valve stem to slide. It is a good idea to place a thin metal washer between the spring and the felt, although this washer is not shown in the illustration. The light spring will keep the washer pressing against the top of the guide and prevent air leakage and the consequent spoiling of the mixture. This suggestion should prove useful on old cars where the expense of new valve guides is not justified.—Popular Science Monthly. ************************** AUTOMOBILE HINTS ******************************************************** The object of cooling devices on brakes is to prevent "fading" after long steady use. * * * Have the radiator contents checked at every stop for gas on the touring trip.

VARIED USES MAKE PAJAMAS POPULAR New Models Are Not the Least Mannish. Pajamas and still more pajamas. Every time you go shopping you are reminded of their varied usefulness. Lounging pajamas, sleeping pajamas, pajamas for boating, for the beach, and the new dancing pajamas! One must indeed have a very deeply ingrained prejudice against this erstwhile masculine fashion to resist the temptation of buying dozens of them, says a fashion writer in the Washington Star. Actually there is nothing the least bit manish or even boyish about most of the new pajamas. They may be as frivolous as you wish. Gone completely is the old notion that a sleeping pajama had to be simply tailored and devoid of dainty ornamentation. There are charming new lace-trimmed sleeping pajamas that are as feminine as any of the more traditional night-gowns could hone to be. Pajamas for beach wear are accepted now as a matter of course. They are so taken for granted that it is hard to realize that only a few years ago they were unheard of and that quite recently we regarded them as a mere fad that was not likely to survive. They did survive because they really proved useful. Women like them not only because they produced the long, slender lines that came into favor with the new longer skirts, but because they proved to be the most practical type of costume to wear over a bathing suit. This summer we hear quite a bit about fishing pajamas, since surf fishing has become a fashionable pastime. The best sort for this purpose are made of jersey in two pieces, a pair of trousers and jacket to be worn over a bathing suit. There are special boating pajamas, also, not much different from beach pajamas in construction, but usually carrying out the mutual motif in color or design. A pair of white jersey trousers is combined in one set with a closely buttoned sailor jacket of dark blue jersey with a sailor collar of white with red braiding. Another boating pajama costume is made of white pique with creased trousers and a double-breasted jacket suggestive of a navy officer's uniform. Plaid Finds Favor for Almost Every Occasion INTERNATIONAL Plaid for every occasion is the fashionable by-word. The model shown herewith is a crepe frock in brown and white plaid, accompanied by white accessories. Shoes Require Care to Keep Them in Condition Isn't one of the most vexing problems you have to solve in putting your possessions in order this question of where you can put your shoes? One almost envises the person with only one pair of shoes, for then there would be no problem at all. But, of course, there is very poor economy in having only a single pair of shoes at a time, or even two or three pairs. For economy's sake, if for no other, you should have several pairs in use at the same time. It is a fact that cannot be gains aid that two pairs of shoes if worn alternately last longer than two pairs when one is worn out before the other has been worn at all. The life of a shoe depends on the way it is kept when not in use almost as much as on the way it is worn. Shoes should always be cleaned before they are put away. Of course, you want to do this if you have to keep shoes in your clothes closet, for the idea of taking dirt from the street into a closet is repulsive enough. Moreover, if mud and grime remain on shoes they mar and wear out the shoes. If damp, shoes should be thoroughly dried on shoe-trees before they are put away. If you do not have shoes trees for all your shoes you should stuff them with papers when not in use. This is especially true of light slippers that may easily be pressed out of shape. TWELVE INCHES OFF FOR STREET SKIRT Gradual Drop Is Indicated for Other Occasions. New York signposts indicate, among other things, that the waistline will stay where nature intended it should be, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times. Skirts—daytime skirts—so the signs show, are remaining in the vicinity of the knee rather than the ankle. "Twelve inches off" is the rule for street wear; for afternoon they are lowered from two to four inches. In the evening they reach ankle-length, and for very formal functions sweep into trains. The "pencil silhouette" characterizes the autumn mode. It is accentuated by diagonal lines and skirts that flare but slightly (pleats, we hear, are to make way for flares). Many contourers are using one-sided movements in their fall models. The twirl, or wrap-around diagonal cut, is to be used for sports as well as town skirts. Coat dresses will also contribute largely to the sweater contour of the figure. Sleeves are assuming greater importance in the general design of dresses and coats. Attention is centered on them where the lines of the garment are simple and severe. They are wider, trimmed at the elbow, and decorated with touches of fur. The long sleeve for the evening dress is one of the new style notes. Ensembles are to follow the general tendency that unites two colors in one costume. Advance models mark a reversal of the old order of wearing a dark coat with a light dress. Woolen dresses, so the authorities say, have not been as much talked about in years as they are for autumn and winter wear. Black, sedate and conventional, is assured of its usual role of a safe stand-by. Browns, greens, blues, reds and a new dark beige that has a sun-baked look promise to be color leader. Evening gowns will probably be mostly white and of velvet and satin for dressy occasions. The pastels, too, will hold their own, with delicate pink taking a prominent place. For more serious moods navy, wine and brown will be used. Draped Coat of Chiffon Velvet Latest Fashion ```markdown ``` One of the latest fashions for milady is this draped coat of white chiffon velvet, thought to be a basic type for fall evening wear. It is beautifully molded and collared in black fox. Rolled Brim and Derby Crowns for Autumn Wear Women must prepare themselves to wear their hats at a new angle this autumn. The off-the-forehead movement has been banished to the realm of the old-fashioned by Parisian authorities, and with it the brimless hat has gone (by that we do not mean berets, which will undoubtedly remain in modified forms for some time to come), notes a Paris fast in writer In the New York Times. From youthful boyish effects the style is swinging to the romantic expression of the Second Empire. The hat with a moderately large brim, a well-shaped crown and a touch of feather ornamentation will make its appearance in the early autumn, according to reports from Paris and such advanced models as are being shown. The fall mode is guaranteed to be more generally becoming to young and old than was that of the spring and summer. Mado, Paton, Talbot, Reboux, Agnes, Descat, among others, are bringing their hats down onto the brow and permitting them to tilt with considerable dash over the right eye, exposing much of the hair on the left. Necklaces Necessary to Add the Finishing Touch More time, energy and material is spent in creating new kinds of necklaces than in any other one field of adornment for women. That seems doubtful at first but originality in beaddom is well nigh impossible. It is a foregone conclusion that women nowadays feel that something is very lacking if they do not wear a necklet to complete the effect of a dress, whether it is a sports ensemble, tea gown or evening outfit. 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, or for the victims complying 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 surgeon 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, students worked himself up to the leading places in these hospitals. It is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "Jim-crow" hospitals. Our physicians are skilled in practice and operate in first-class hospitals. Our people have been made the stalking way for our unprepared physicians to do their butchering. It may be concluded that, when one hears a loud noise about establishing some particular place for some colored professional man to ply his trade, there is in the community a competency, selfishness and graft. Our physicians can be as well equipped as any other physician, if they would only take time and money and prepare themselves. There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's," etc., because they are not prepared to ply their trade or enter "Y's" among men of standing and first-class qualifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED THEM, too. Men of persons, trying to skin 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 principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been 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 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.) 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 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 by M. G. A. buildings and "Negro," was imminent to the best interests of every community where recognized. (a) It creates, perpetuates and accentuates a class and caste spirit, un-American and directly opposed to principles of Christianity. Matt. 7:12; John 13:24; Matt. 20: 8-10;12-14. (b) The cornerstone of our equal opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!$^{1}$ —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 bethenem!" and 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 From Simplicity to Regalness upon their American citizenship? Did the white population protest against their "colored brother" having the same disease, the same accidents and malades 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 of American civilization? Gal. 6.7. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent. Madison, N. J. From Simplicity By EMMA BY the time you are reading this we will be having—or perhaps will have already had—National Cotton Week, which the Department of Commerce and Department of Agriculture are sponsoring, and which, it is understood, President Hoover heartily approves. This is particularly interesting because he is interested in the variety of kinds, types and beauty in modern cotton, as well as to its honorable and lengthy world-history. At Concord, N. C., just on the eve of National Cotton Week, that energetic and ingenious southern woman Miss Jenn W. Coltrane is presenting a remarkable cotton pageant called "The Voice of Cotton" commemorating this country's influence in the development of the fibers, cotton materials and cotton fashions. 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. THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of men hold cold, the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. Patronize Our After Read subscribe after IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND, FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and universal 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; by nature they self-respect and have no '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. y to Regalness LOU FETTA The climax of this pageant, which is receiving national attention, is the marriage of King Cotton to Queen Durene Cotton—the queen representing the distinct heritage of the fabric to cotton's history in perfecting the mercerizing process, and thus adding incalculable laurels to the brow of the now venerable King. It would be interesting to see the regal appearance which King Cotton and his "bride" will make with the fabric dressed in closest durene velvet and cotton "ermine"; the latter in a gown boasting rows upon rows of durene embroidered cotton ruffles forming a court train reaching from her queenly shoulders and trailing a yard on the ground. Possibly no other natural product is better suited to the beauty which cotton can and does best. Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of 10-20,000 people is wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines do not least disputes. The few who do must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. r Advertisers uding It · Reading It
