Common talk still has it that our bathers in the pool at Garfield Park, when one of our local insurance companies picnicked there, a few weeks ago, were run out of the pool. Not "waste paper" we have used, but "The Blindman." our (?) three members of the City Council. LORD, HAVE MERCY! Our local band-leaders are a conundrum to The Rounder—they do not seem to want any of the city's money. One of our local Italian bands has played a number of times in the park, this season already, giving public concerts. Maybe our band-leaders will wake up by fall if it is too to go any of the city's money, so we can think so many of our local musicians "need the mazuma" too. Last week, Mayor Frank Hayden of Peoria, Ili. in one "bath-sweep" wiped out the segregation in that city's municipal bath beaches announced that "municipal beaches are built and maintained by the tax department," and "gardens of race, creed or color." Page City Manager Daniel E. Morgan and "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy!)! They REFUSED to know of the segregation and color-lines at Woodhill Park pool, Gordon Park beach, and famous others, throut the city, all last and this year to date. Going to be an election this fall, brothers!" The political antics of the East End political club, under the leadership of that "Blossom Triplet," Councilman Clayborne George, are amusing, to say the least. Now, it has developed (C) a program of improvement in the advancement and supplementary pelief for Negroes." As the old colored brother said — "dah now!" Which means just what it says, and that is a plenty. As a candidate, Councilman George is defeated now. There is really no need of an elephant in the room, for the Blossom Triplets are concerned. Hundreds of voters in the 11th and 17th wards are refusing to sign the petitions of the other "The Blossom Triplets," Councilman Payne and Bundy, and they are right. The Rounder, like a good many others, is still waiting for Bunds to run Manasseh choke out the war when he arrives there to make a political speech, as he threatened to do, months ago. Marie Newsome returned, Sunday, from a week's stay in Wilmington, O., where she visited her uncle and aunt, Prof. and Mrs. S. Buster. On Tuesday evening, Aug. 25, the children from 37 local municipal playgrounds will stage a grand festival, giving exhibition of their work, this summer. It will be the climax of the season, each group of participants presenting games, songs, folk dances and dramatizations. Approximately 2,000 children from all parts of the city will participate. Recreation Commissioner John H. Gourley will be in charge. Admission will be free and we urge our readers to attend. It will be a great spectacle. Miss Mildred Ridley, a stenographer in the county commissioner's office, returned, Sunday night, from a delightful two-week vacation visit with her grandparents in Tennessee near Memphis. It was her first trip to the southland. MADAME WALKER'S DAUGHTER DEAD! The Madame C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. Loses Its Head—Thrice Married and Twice Divorced—Sold the walker Mansion. Asbury Park, N. N. J.—Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Robinson, only child of Madame C. J. Walker, founder of the Madame C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of Indianapolis, died here, Tuesday, after a brief illness. Mrs. Robinson had been three married, divorcing a Dr. Wilson of New York City and a Dr. Kennedy of Chicago, the latter with- A'Lelia Walker Robinson. in a year. She had traveled extensively. It was only a few months ago that she sold at auction the $50,000 mansion at Irving-Hudson, N. Y., purchased by her mother and occupied for some years. It contained a grand pipe organ, sections of which ran all thru the house and which could be turned off or on in any one of its 24 rooms. Since the death of her mother, Mrs. Robinson retained Atty. F. B. Ransom of Indianapolis as manager of the Madame C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. BE BI-PARTISAN Urges Atty, F. B. Ransom and Counsels a Drive for Political and Economic Aid. The Afro-American must participate in the (local) activities of both political parties. He must divide his vote and intelligently participate in (local) politics. The mistake he has made in the past is that he has not realized that through his political influence he can receive more and better patronage. Heretofore, he has thought of only one individual or one party. There is no reason why he should not receive more recognition from the political world than he has from the industrial world. This opinion was expressed by F. B. Ransom, counsel and general manager of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. of Indianapolis, who was a delegate to the Y. M. C. A. World Conference and the seventh annual reception of the National Bar Association, both held in this city in recent weeks. "The Afro-American must also find a solution to his economic problems," he said. "He is being let out of jobs heretofore conceded to be his jobs. The reason for this is not so much race prejudice as it is that whites have been displaced by labor-saving machinery and competition for jobs is keener. Since there is not going to be less labor-saving machinery, he has to readjust his whole economic life. Too Good Spender. "Within his group there is need for greater self-reliance and more initiative. "On the other hand, white Americans need to know that he is the best spender of any element of our American citizenship. If he has a job and receives the pay envelope, the money finds its way back into commercial channels through furnishings, radios and other industries. He spends his home. He does not hoard it, nor ship it out of the country. He buys American-made products; this helps American business. "Therefore the white business man should be just as concerned about his unemployment as is the Afro-American business man. Everybody concedes that we must have spenders. The Afro-American keeps the dollar in circulation." Mr. and Mrs. Israel S. Powell, E. 81st St., the latter former Miss Hazel Bass, stenographer in the office of The Gazette for about two years, have returned from their belated honeymoon trip to Louisiana where they visited his parents and other relatives. They are greatly pleased by the result of their trip which included Baker Routon Rouge and New Orleans. Mrs. Powell says that Mr. Powell gained ten pounds and that she weighs more too. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITU- ENTS AND NOW MUST PAY! Dr. Horace C. Bailey's Miserable Mistreatment by Director Blossom and the Latter's Coarse State- ment to Him—Other Failures of "The Triplets", Etc. Cleveland, O., Aug. 19, '31. Wendell Phillips Dabney, Editor, "The Union." Cincinnati, O. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati, O. Dear Conferee:—Your request for a short article on "The Blossom Triplets," Cleveland's Afro-American councilmen, Atty. Clayborne George, Atty. Lawrence O. Payne and D. Leroy N. Bundy, is here with compiled with: Dudley S. Blossom (white), director of safety of Cleveland for about six years past, with his then superior officer, City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, arbitrarily refused our internes practice in the Cleveland City hospital and our girls entrance to the school for nursing at the hospital. Every other class or race of people this city was accorded the rights or privileges mentioned in the foregoing sentence. M. B. H. 469 CHC7 Lawrence O. Payne. When Rev. Horace C. Bailey, for more than twenty years one of our leading ministers in this community, took his motherless grand-daughter, a graduate of our local public schools, to said Blossom in an effort to secure her admission to the nurse's training school at the City hospital, he was curtly and coarsely told by Director Blossom that "No Negro boy or girl would be allowed to train in the City hospital as long as he was director of public safety." Two years ago this fall when we were struggling to elect Messrs. George, Payne and Bundy, Dr. Bailey, night after night from the public rostrums of the third and fourth districts, openly repeated the insulted the statement and demanded the director's enchanting as well as that of the then City Manager Ward R. Hopkins. The writer, "The Blossom Triplets" and all other speakers in the third and fourth councilmanic districts made the same demand. Payne and Bundy reside in the third district and George in the fourth district. They pledged their constituents, night after night during the campaign, to "do all in their power to help oust both Hopkins and Blossom." They were elected on that pledge and early in summer. Com after, Buckingham Hopkins, broke their pledge and acquiesced in the reappointment of Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom, amazing, astonishing and disgusting every loyal member of the race in this community as well as others. As members of Cleveland's City Council, they have failed absolutely to cause the removal of the unfair prejudices, against our people only, in the various city departments. In spite of the fact that their three votes have been the balance of power in Cleveland, more than the year and a half, scores of our young men and women who have won positions in civil service examinations have failed to THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS THRU! FROM TRIPLETS" GE TO THEIR CONSTITU- NOW MUST PAY!

Apparently, they have been too intent upon looking after their own personal interests to do their full duty to their constituents of color and the rest of the people of this community. They are a deeply long and, if not, would surely be so if my time permitted me to enumerate the other score or more failures of "The Blossom Triplets" which have arrayed against them all the loyal and aggressive members of the race in this community. Payne, George and Bundy will be defeated in November. Two or more Afro-American candidates are opposing each of them in January next it will be good riddance to "The Blossom Triplets." The editor of "The Union" will recall that it took more than three years to get our internes and student-nurses into the Cleveland City hospital. This was accomplished the first of last year and was the result of a fight lead by "The Gazette" editor, Robert L. Geo. A. Mvers of this city and Councilman F. W. Walz (dem.) who introduced the resolution in the Cleveland City Council the first of last year, fully opening that institution to our people in common with all others of this community. Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. Editor "The Gazette." THE FIRST STEP In the U. S. Withdrawal From Haiti —The Departments and Officials Affected. Port Au Prince, Haiti.—The first important step leading toward the withdrawal of American occupation of Haiti took place, recently, when Dr. Dana G. Munro, American minister, and Abel Leger, Haitian foreign minister, signed an agreement transferring, on Oct. 1, the treaty departments of the Haitian government, now operated by Americans, to Haitian control. The departments affected are the department of public works, the principal officers of which are U. S. Navy civil engineers; the technical service of agriculture and industrial education, the principal officials of which are Americans, and the public health service in which are officers and enlisted men of the U. S. Navy medical department. The sanitary mission will remain on duty here, at Cape Haitian and Petitionville, the mission to consist of three American medical officers nominated by the U. S. government and appointed by the president of Haiti, and not to exceed six navy hospital corps men. All other Americans in the treaty departments are to be withdrawn by Sept. 30 of this year. Col. L. Carytah Little, commanding the First Brigade of U.S. Marines, recently issued a proclamation repealing the state of martial law which has been in effect since the early days of American occupation, but which was dormant in recent years except during the strike of December, 1929. National Musicians Meet Hampton Institute, Va. - Guest artists who will appear on the national artists night program of the thirteenth annual convention of our National Musicians' Association to be held at Hampton Institute, August 22-27, are ones who have been favorably received both in America and Europe. Hazel Harrison, pianist; George Garner, tenor, both of Chicago; Huntley Cooper, soprano; Burham, N. C.; Kember Hamid, pianist; Atlanta. Camille Nickerson of Howard University will be at the plano. Attempts to Murder His Wife. New York City—Stephen Roddy, the N. A. A. C. P.'s Kn Klux Klan attorney who "defended" the nine Scottsboro boy-victims, last April when they were sentenced to the electric chair, went violently insane, Tuesday morning, and attempted to murder his wife with an axe. Roddy's father immediately moved him out of the state to a Missouri insane asylum. This is the second time within the year that Roddy has been confined to institutions. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 325,000 in Ohio. 75,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1931. The Pittsburg Courier starts a fight on "Amos 'n Andy" and The Chicago Defender invites the famous radio team to help it entertain at a picnic. The Courier claims their chatter is harmful to the race. The Defender, apparently, thinks otherwise. Here is harmony (?) for you. 'Twas ever thus! --- Mrs. Belle Case La Follette, age 72, widow of "Fighting Bob", and mother of U. S. Senator and Gov. La Follette died, Tuesday at Washington, D. C. Mrs. La Follette was a real friend of the race, demonstrating the fact on many occasions in a material way at the nation's capital and at her home in Wisconsin. According to "The Crusaders News Agency," N. Y. City, there have been twenty-four lynchings already this year, nearly all in the South, of course, several of this number being white, one of whom was lynched in North Dakota. The foregoing indicates a substantial increase in the total number of lynchings for the year, 1931. --- For obvious reasons, well and generally known, there is no room for the sane, thoughtful and loyal Afro-American in the national Democratic party so long as its leadership remains in the South. There are oftimes reasons, and good ones, why we may support individual Democrats in local elections but there can be no good reason, or good excuse, for Afro-Americans voting for Democratic presidential electors or members of the Congress. BE A DEMOCRAT? Dr. "Jimmie" Owen, of this city, in a letter asking Newton D. Baker, former color-line mayor of Cleveland, to permit the use of his name as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, wrote: "The colored people of America have learned in the past few years that the Republican party is not the friend that it should or is supposed to be, and as a result have decided to stand, fight for and follow men of the highest type and noblest character, regardless of party affiliation." Isn't that rich? Black as the Republican party may be painted by any "disgruntled Negro" politician, including "Little Jimmie," it is not one-tenth as black as the rotten national Democratic party, led by Cole Blease of South Carolina, "Tom Tom" Heflin of Georgia, Pat Harrison of Mississippi and other southern "Negro"-hating and lynching-advocating members of that party. "Newty" Baker would have to "cowtow" to such "animals" in order to get the nomination and, if elected president, would have to obey their orders. Everybody knows this that knows anything at all about politics. We know this wouldn't be difficult for Newton D. Baker to do because he is a southerner by birth and residence, and only an Ohioan by adoption. However, Dr. "Jimmie's" little "play to the political gallery," in the letter to a local daily paper referred to, is clearly understood when one knows that Newton D. Baker has about as much chance to secure the Democratic presidential nomination as "Jimmie" has to be elected a member of the city council from the third district. And he is a Democratic candidate, too. DIRECTOR BARRY RIGHT! Be it ever so painful to the 12th ward Democratic club, Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry was entirely within his rights as an official of the city of Cleveland, and right when he denied it a permit "to operate wheels of chance in a carnival to have been staged at the Portland - Outwashte playground." for the benefit of Democratic candidates or any one else. As he well said, the murder the first of last week at the "Clayborne George-Ease End Political club's carnival," corE. 79th St. and Cedar Ave., was quite enough; yes, and a little too much! Wonder how all of our ministers who were advocating the reelection of "The Blossom Triplet" George feel toward his candidacy now? The director's statement that "we propose to watch Dr. L. L. Rogers very closely from now on" indicates an interest in the latter that we believe really unnecessary because the doctor with his "wild statements" was only "playing a little cheap curb-stone politics" which was not and is not of sufficient consequence to justify any such concern on the part of Director Barry and the police department. That murder in the fourth councilmanic district's "George"-carnival, to "help finance his" campaign," was sufficient reason for the director's stopping the proposed carnival in the third councilmanic district even if a carnival was being conducted on the West side of the city without murder as a side attraction. Let the doctor find funds for the councilmanic candidacies of his wife, Doctors J. W. Ribbins and J. A. Owens, elsewhere. FRENCH SOLDIERS COMING. Three thousand French World war veterans, members of regiments that fought side by side in Flanders fields with American soldiers of the A. E. F., are coming to Washington, D. C., next fall, during the height of the George Washington bicentennial celebration there. Congress appropriated $50,000 for the entertainment of these French veterans and it has been announced that it is desired to have them here on Sept. 6, the anniversary of Lafayette's birthday. A mammoth military procession is anticipated with the French legions having the place of honor. We are a little curious to know just where in the parade will be the French veterans' Afro-American comrades? It will be readily recalled that our soldiers of the A. E. F. were the only American soldiers brigaded with the French soldiers during the world war and as a result came in closer contact with them than any other A. E. F. unit or units. They were, too, far more popular with the French soldiers and people than other American soldiers and were highly praised and profusely decorated by the French people, and their highest officials of the army and the government. We are wondering if the damphool American prejudice will again cause the American government and people at Washington to be placed in a most ridiculously painful light before these three thousand French veterans of the World war when they arrive and while they are in Washington upon the occasion of the George Washington bi-centennial celebration, and the anniversary celebration of Lafayette's birthday, Sept. 6, '31. We hope not. PREJUDICE IN THE U. S. ARMY It certainly looks as if the southern prejudice way of treating our people has been accepted by the Hoover administration in spite of the fact that a presidential election comes next year. Not satisfied with "jim-crowning" all of our Gold Star mothers who were sent abroad by the government in freight and passenger boats, instead of passenger-steamers, to visit the graves of their sons, now comes authentic information to the effect that our four regiments of the regular army are to be stricken from the rolls of combat units in order to help in building up the Air Corps of our national defense. For more than a score of years, our people have been gradually losing status as members of "the grand old Republican party" and as citizens of the United States. It was true under the Harding and Coolidge administrations, and now the Hoover administration is "running true to form." The service of our soldiers in the World War, particularly those brigaded with French soldiers, was too brilliant, it seems, so the road is being paved to get rid of our combat units, the 24th and 25th infantry and the 9th and 10th cavalry, by converting them into "labor battalions." This same thing was attempted in 1922 but failed because of the pressure brot to bear by the activity of our press. Attention is called to the miserable treatment of the 24th U. S. Infantry, since it was sent to Fort Bennings, Ga., where it was placed on a non-combat or "labor battalion" basis. While the treatment of our soldiers there is bad that of their wives is infinitely worse because of the well-known Georgia racial prejudice. Both soldiers and wives are "jim-crowed" at every turn and made to realize that they are in the state that is one of the several southern door-ways to hell. Our soldiers wives at Fort Bennings are not only "jim-crowed" but made to serve as maids for the wives of officers (white). Lord, have mercy! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1931. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-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 upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been 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: MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member. 6288. County's right of action against another. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purge and intending to do damage or injure in person or presenting an exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as per 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, 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 next succeeding tax levy for 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 county. 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 on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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 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.

This law was 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. YOU PITCHED A NICE GAME OF BALL YESTERDAY NICE IT WAS PERFECT --- Our mor-prience 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 upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of a person shall constitute a "lynching" within the reigning of this chapter. (93 v 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as manently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from office of justice by a mob and assaulted with white, nails, blisters or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) AN OPPORTUNITY!

R 1987 CHICAGO ALL COLORS Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It About Chile Bathing Beach at Valnaraiso (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) THE recent forced retirement of a president of Chile throws emphasis on some of the unusual features of the Chilean constitution and government. The old Chilean constitution existed from 1833 until 1925 and was the oldest constitution of a republic in the western hemisphere except that of the United States. It was an intimate mixture of the governmental principles of the United States and those of Europe. While it was not designed with such an idea in view, developments seemed to be steering Chile toward a real parliamentary system. Then came the new constitution of 1925 which modified this trend. Under the Chilean constitution of 1833 the American system of three separate functions—executive, legislative and judicial—was adopted; but unlike the United States, Chile incorporated a system of federal centralization which was probably more extreme than in any other republic. This president appoints the sixteen intendants, who correspond roughly to our governors. With the intendants nominating them, he also appoints the sixty-five governors who rule over regions such as might be formed by groups of counties in the United States, and the alcaldes of municipalities with more than 10,000 population. The governors appoint subdelegates to administer the smaller municipalities roughly corresponding to townships, and the subdelegates in turn appoint inspectors for small precincts. The whole elaborate civil hierarchy centers in the president and is ruled from the national capital. Direct Election Adopted. The constitution of 1833 provided for the indirect election of the president for five years through a sort of electoral college; the indirect election of senators in the provinces for six-year terms; and the direct election of members of the lower house from the districts. This has all been changed. The president is now directly elected for six years, but is ineligible for reelection. The forty-five senators are elected by direct vote in their groups of provinces, for terms of eight years, with half the seats newly filled every four years. The deputies of the lower house are also elected by direct popular votes in their departments or groups of departments. As in the United States, a cabinet is appointed by the president and is responsible to him. The old constitution established the Roman Catholic church and prohibited other forms of public worship. The new constitution separated the church and state and did away with property qualifications for voters. All citizens over twenty-one years of age who can read and write and who register, may vote. An unusual feature of the Chilean government is its tribunal calificator which must pass on the validity of all elections of president, senators and deputies. It consists of five members chosen by lot, one chosen from past presidents and vice presidents of the senate; one from past presidents and vice presidents of the lower chamber; two from ministers of the Supreme court, and one from the ministers of the Court of Appeals of the city where congress meets. Chile may be superficially compared to California with directions reversed. It stretches in a narrow strip with the Pacific on one side and a mountain range on the other and embraces dry desert, a productive temperate region, and an area of moisture and cold. Whereas California is only 800 miles long, however. Chile is 2,700 miles in length. Great Ethnic Differences. Chile differs as much ethnically from the rest of South America as it does politically. It has had a greater proportion of northern European immigration than its sister states, largely German and British. The predominant strain is a mixture of Spanish and Arucanian Indian, a mingling which extends through all social levels. Few immigrants from southern Europe have come in, and like Great Britain, Chile has working classes of its own blood. The vast beds of sodium nitrate discovered in what is now northern Chile more than 100 years ago have meant much to the country economically during the last half century. But the perfection of processes in Europe to extract nitrogen electrically from the air, and the growth of ammonia products from coal distillation has greatly re Great Ethnic Differences. duced the preferred position that Chile long held. First opened up in 1830 when the region was under Peruvian and Bolivian ownership, the mining operations did not reach a great magnitude until after Chile annexed the territory in 1880. After that the world's demand for nitrates grew so great that by 1913 Chile was exporting between two and three million tons. The World war increased the demand, for nitrate is the chief raw material for explosives as well as for wheat and cotton growing; and Chile's desert deposits kept the guns of the allies booming. If one would get a quick conception of the importance, the lovely surroundings, and the climate of Santiago, Chile's capital, he should set San Francisco or Los Angeles down in the most beautiful inland portion of the Valley of California, give the Sierra Nevadas 4,000 feet more height and pile on them more generous caps of snow. Santiago, with its nearly three-quarters of a million population, is fairly comparable in size to Pittsburgh and Boston. Among the Spanish cities of the world only Madrid and Barcelona in the Old world, and Buenos Aires and Mexico City in the new, exceed it. But it is not on size that admirers of Santiago base their enologies. The city, like our own capital, has a subtle charm all its own. Much of this is due to its location. Many travelers agree that it has the most beautiful and inspiring setting of all the great Inland cities of the world. It is situated near the upper end of a mountain-rimmed valley, 40 miles long by 20 wide. Ten miles to the east the Andes rise to heights greater than 18,000 feet, presenting a towering wall always snow-capped. On the west is a lower coast range; and to the south stretches a level expanse of fertile farming land divided into large estates. Park of Santa Lucia Santiago is built on the plain, but within it rises a 400-foot bill, covering several hundred aches, which has been made into one of the world's unique parks. Once nearly bare, the bill of Santa Lucia has been transformed into an enchanting modern hanging garden of groves and flower beds, winding roads and trails, cascades, terraces, sylvan theaters and observation kiosks. From its slopes one may obtain numerous charming vistas, and from its top Santiago lies spread out in all its lovely details. It is a city predominately of low, flat-roofed buildings, for the hand of Spain lies heavy upon it in all matters of habit and custom. But for all that the old Spanish life has taken on a briskness that must be bred of the West. There is a movement and busie that modifies much of the influence of Old Spain, and which at the same time stamps Santiago unmistakably a metropolis. The axis of life in Santiago is the beautiful Alameda de las Delicias—"the tree-lined avenue of the delights" which cleaves the city in two. Its great breadth of 350 feet is divided by four rows of stately trees. Down the center is the Paseo, a broad promenade, lined by many flower beds and statue-studded little parks, along which innumerable nursemaids herd their remiping charges. On either side of the Paseo are the trucks of the electric street railway, and farther outside are broad driveways. The Alameda is lined with many of the finest residences and public buildings of the capital. The lover of fresh air comes into his own in Santiago's delightful climate. Great crowds promenade on the Paseo and on the plazas each evening. Most of the dwellings are of the Spanish type with open courts in the center, in which much of the family's time is spent. The street cars are double-deckers, with the upper seats open. Those who wish to climb the steps and enjoy the air and view pay a smaller fee than the passengers who ride on the lower level. Few great cities are so fortunate as Santiago in regard to their water supplies. Sparkingly pure cold water from the high Andes is available in abundance within a few miles. The city could grow to a community of many millions without being faced with any great difficulty about this necessity for which some municipalities have had to reach out hundreds of miles. Through the city runs the Mapocho river whose floods were once a source of danger. Chilean engineers have tamed the river, however, confirming it within a concrete channel, and it is now harmless. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1931 WHEN the modern business woman with a family comes home at night and must turn immediately to the preparation of dinner, or when the Sunday night hostess must serve light refreshments without changing to kitchen attire, her first thought is of an apron that will protect her pretty frock. To be sure, the apron itself is all right in its way, but it does not protect the sleeves and so, as always, necessity becomes the "mother of invention" in that some clever brain has devised an apron "sets" which include deep matching cuffs which are worn as you see in the picture. It is not only the novelty and practicability of the cuffs as illustrated which attract, but the aprons themselves are very new and unusual. If there is one thing more than another which makes appeal to the home-serving woman it is a new apron pattern. They are very easy to make, the aprons pictured, if you use a bias trim for bindings and decoration. Make them of any suitable material. Organdie or dotted swiss is suggested for the more dressy affairs that are to cover the Sunday night frock and its sleeves with gingham, percale or gay EIGHT DAYS OF EVENING For dance and party frocks, light blue is a favorite color. The dress pictured is of ciel blue chiffon patterned with velvet flower motifs. The peplum effect adds to the grace of the silhouette. Pale blue satin is also favored by the smart Parisienne for her evening gown. CHERIE NICHOLAS. Scarf Becomes Bonnet by Not for a long while has there been a more practical and generally becoming bit of headgear than the sports scarf which, by a simple twist of the wrist, becomes a bonnet. Intended only for wear on the head, this scarf of wool or tweed-like mixture, matching the sports frock, is made so wide that by merely wrapping it around the head and pinning it, the bonnet is achieved. The ends, standing smartly out, from the only ornaments beside the pin. White on Red or Navy Sheer prints, showing white patterns on red or navy backgrounds are prominent in town costumes. The white and red print model looks surprisingly cool for hot weather and is a type alluring to the younger generation. cretonne for every day use. The bias trim comes in the proper width, cut on a true bias, ready to apply, and in boilfast colors. Quite a new idea is the surplus front effect which fashions the apron to the left. Then, too, the skirt of this apron is sewed onto a V-shaped walsteline which is slenderizing. For this model the designer chooses a dainty flowered percale. In this instance the bias trim is used for binding only. For the other apron which, by the way, is made of gingham the bias trim also forms decorative bands at the front and on the cuffs. Note that circular-cut side sections are seamed into the skirt portion, achieving a graceful fare for its hemline. Where sheer material such as organdie is employed, use sheer fabric thread in matching color to stitch down the bias bands. This fabric thread does not go by number although in reality it is equal to a number one hundred ordinary cotton. It requires the machine gauge set to about twenty-five stitches to the inch. It is excellent for seaming frocks of sheer material as the fine stitches and the fine needle prevents the seams from fraying. Paris contourers are using it on silks and velvets (it has an exquisite luster). In fact the use of exceedingly fine thread, very fine needles and little stitches is one of the sewing secrets learned from French dressmakers. © 1921, Western Newspaper Union. AUTUMN HATS WORN HIGH ON THE HEAD You will find that the new autumn hats are not easy to wear and that the hair must be beautifully done, as much of the head is exposed on one side. Tiny tiled brims, very shallow crowns, the hats worn high on the head, that is the style message of the very best milliners. And managers and buyers for the hat departments in the very smartest of specialty shops assure us that these hats will be the thing next autumn and that real millinery is back with us again. And that is something for which the really well-dressed woman will be profoundly grateful. All too long we have been content with just a covering for our heads, and the covering was not too good-looking either. Nor were the tight little caps at all healthy for the scalp, as you have no doubt learned from your favorite hairdresser. Little Things of Dress Which Count for Chic Your new wide, soft-and-cruisable patent leather belt, how are you wearing it? Not with the buckle at the front if you are fashionwise, but fastened at the back—tres chic! In selecting hosiery for midseason wear in mind that stockings of lace open mesh is latest fashion decree. Give distinction to your white sports frock or jacket suit by wearing belt and scarf in vivid tri-colors, Red, white and blue or green, orange and red or "say it" in pastel such as pale pink and light blue. As to waistlines—"going up" is the message. It seems that the new French millinery is inspiring decided changes in costume trends, as, for instance, the now-so-modish Empress Eugenie hats are influencing the raising of the waistline in empire fashion. Advance afternoon and evening dresses in early Paris displays reflect the styles of the 1830s to 1860s. Which is to say that the world of fashion is about to witness a revival of whims and foliages of the old-fashioned sort such as ruchings, frills, longer skirts, peplums, little capes and tiny fur scarfs (maybe we will be using that quaint word "tipper" again) and ostrich boas too are in prospect, to match the trims on the new hats. CHEERIE NICHOLAS. Fabric Hats Be sure to include several of the new knackabout hats in the summer wardrobe—one version is the flannel hat of the vapandbond type with a soft crown and stitched brim. It comes in every color for town or country. COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND Y. M. C. A.'s HERE IN THE NORTH, DENOUNCED! Urge "Jim Crow Ys." (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Mr. Rosenwald has done much good for our people in the South where it is impossible for them to get a square deal. His hospitals and schools are of much value. We believe Mr. Rosenwald's heart is right in his benefactions, but some one is leading him wrong in attempting to get him to build separate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built to cover the crime, race discrimination, any of our physicians coming 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, studiousness and good sense, he has become 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 are able to set up such client-centered 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! Then, too, a great number of persons, trying to skim on their "race love," is with the open arm or honeymoon. With the open arm or honeymoon 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 greet sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same preaching practices of caring the whims of ignorance and educating 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 "mice injury to eligible" 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 SCOBED! 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 and buildings, exclusively "Negro," was instrumental 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. 20: 8-10-12-14. (b) The cornerstone of this opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!"—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our father; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all, we are brethren!"—3. 26, 28. is unqualified. (d) 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 peaceful spirit) by both peoples of our American civilization?—Gal. 6.7. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent. Madison, N. J. USE THE POOLS AND THE BEACHES! Use the city bathing and swimming pools and beaches. They are OURS, too. We pay taxes, all of us do—have to whether we want to or not. They are all open and in the best of condition and under the care of competent guards who have been provided with every possible means of safety for children. There is the same policy concerning free admission to the youngsters under fifteen years of age, from ten to twelve Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Learned instructors will supervise the special classes for beginners and advanced swimmers which will be in full force thrust the summer. The beginning class for boys will be held between ten and eleven and the one first of the year will be twelve in the morning; advanced swimmers will be taken care of in the afternoon. The pools will be open from ten in the morning to ten at night, weather permitting, during which time events such as free style, backstroke, and novelty races will be run off in preparation for the grand meet on the fourth of July. The directors and guards are willingly waiting to aid the children in every way possible. Shop of All Cotton By EMMA LOU FETTA ART shops, baby shops, bath shops, Girl Scout shops—all manner and kind of specialty store has appeared in American cities and towns during the past decade, but the first full-fledged All-Cotton Shop has made its appearance in many cities. It well dressed man dresses in cotton. Mrs. S. E. Karesch, the energetic woman behind the scenes in this new venture, is a modernist in more ways than one. Her All-Cotton Shop is decorated with delightful accessories, including consists of the plain cotton and durene cotton frocks, accessories and rugs of fashion importance. One's breath is fairly taken away in this dainty shop. The eternal examination of visitors is "But that lovely dress of cotton to be the plainest of textiles go away with an altogether new impression of its possibilities in beauty and "smartness." There are voles, and organdles—many beautiful embroidered in duree cotton; there are sparkling duree cotton lace nets and meshes, and crisp nets and exords—and all the materials, frocks, gowns and accessories are at once rich in appearance and lacking in frightening costiness. To add local color, and make sure that no "doubting Thomas" was withdrawn, you must other than unassuming cotton given an opportunity to express itself, Mrs. Karesch has used the atfirst-glance humble cotton boll importantly in her decorative scheme. It is believed around North Carolina that this is only the first of many dresses which appear both in northern and southern cities and towns. Patronize Our Advertisers I By EMMA LOU FETTA AS the sun rises to its summer heat, the woman is both wise and fashionable lays aside her all-black costumes and turns to white and the bright and pastel colors. But after all, there is something ineffably smart about black—if only a touch of it. Frequently the woman who draws on a black rimmed hat, carries a black handbag or wears black footwear with a black costume, looks by far the smartest of any one seen along the Avenue. Such a woman we are picturing for you today. We sketched her at one of the famous luncheon clubs in New York. Her frock, designed by Eva Steinmeth, was crystal white in a durene cotton fisherman's net—a material which made you feel like you could at it. There was an important item—a fact that the frock possessed sleeves. They were short ones to be sure, but nevertheless the upper arm and shoulders were covered. Even in the evening these days the most fashionably dressed woman is she whose shoulders are covered if only with a whip of a scarf. And please note that our fashionable woman has not overdone the "touches of black" scheme of things. Her gloves—short, loose ones—are white. For Tea and Dance 1920s By EMMA LOU FETTA ORGANDIES, redolent with the memories of many gay girlhoods, have come into their own again and this year are being styled for afternoon frocks, for dinner gowns and for dancing. And beautiful they are, for they lend a sweetness and soft unsophistication to any one who wears them. The above model is an organdy dinner gown embroidered in lustrous durene cotton which gives life and soft sparkle to the material. Embroidered floral motifs are cut out and used to outline the neck and shoulder straps. A brief, loose, and soft bicolor of the same material accompanies the frock and it may be worn dinner and then removed to transform the gown into one suitable for formal evening wear. The use of lustrous embroidery in connection with organdy is a rapidly spreading style trend making possible charming combinations of bright motifs on dull backgrounds. The general vogue for cotton is productive of a great many new combinations of texture and color. By the addition of the subdued but lovely sparkle of durene cotton, even the simplest materials assume a decidedly new style importance and lend themselves both to the afternoon mode for bridge, tea or garden party, and to the more formal requirements of evening wear.
