ONLY ONE INDicted IN BARBERTON RIOT PROBE Summit Grand Jury Returns True Bill in Barberton Case Akron, O.—The Summit county grand jury, completing its seven weeks' probe of Barberton's June 26 riot and allied matters, Aug. 21 returned two secret indictments against one man. He will be taken into custody as soon as he can be located. The law provides that indictments must be secret when the accused party is not already under arrest. The jury examined 105 witnesses in its inquiry along three lines. Charges by C. Louis Alexander, Afro-American International Labor Defense member, that Barberton police had flogged and driven him from town; clubbing and gassing of newspapermen and spectators at the June 26 Alexander case protest meeting in Barberton; charges of perjury (a bluff) lodged by Barberton police against two of Alexander's witnesses. SEPTEMBER OPPORTUNITY Raymond P. Alexander, retiring president of our National Bar Association, sends "Opportunity" for September to the fore in a challenging article. The Afro-American wavy hair. The second installment of "The Afro-American Wavy Hair of the Miners' Revolt," by Arthur G. McDowell, comes to a dramatic close. Henry B. Jones of Philadelphia, who wrote "Cass Against God," comes back with another gripping story, "Root Deeana." Richmond, Va. is assailed and defended by the New York City Sterling. A Brown wavy feeling! our drama, and a new artist, a student, contributes a striking cover. PARDON FLEMING. Columbus, O.—Mrs. Thos. W. Fleming has petitioned Gov. Geo. White to pardon her husband. He is eligible for parole under the new state law but she wishes to obtain a pardon for him, she writes, in order that he may regain his citizen's rights and return to the practice of the law. She has been informed that applications for parole will be considered by the new state board in about four weeks. Under the new law, the parole board will give weeks' notice to the judge and prosecutor who acted in the case, and that two weeks' notice must be given in advertisement form. The new board will meet, Monday, to organize and to adopt rules and forms. More than 2,300 prisoners are eligible for parole. HEAR! HEAR!! THE ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! While our band-leaders snooze on soundly, other band leaders are furnishing music in the public parks for the city. They need the money! Last Saturday night, there were no less than three Italian bands so engaged—one at Lincoln (Russo), another at Garfield (Gugliotta), and still another in a third park (Vitale), while Maurice Spitalny (Jewish) and his band was busy at Gordon Park. Recently, Mayor Frank Hayden, for Peoria, Ill. in one "fell-swoop" wipe out municipal segregation on that city's municipal thrift beaches, announcing that "municipal beaches are built and maintained by the tax payers of the city for the people, regardless of race, creed or color." Tell 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, Gordon Park beach, and the city all last year and this year to daunt Going to be an election this fall, (brothers!) "The Blossom Triplets" "claim that they opened City Hospital to our student-nurses and internes is silly in the face of the fact that they sat in the city council as members, the first of last year, when Councilman F. W. Walz, white and a Democrat, resigned the resolution which finally forced him over the three-year fight, lead by the editor of The Gazette. Their claim is just as silly as that of one of their number, namely Councilman George, who tried to filch from the Rev. and Mrs. Boston J. Prince's movement the credit for opening jobs to a number of our men and women in business places of the third and fourth Queens. Queen political "roosters", those "Blossom Triplets" (Councilman George, Payne and Bundy). Current rumor has it that it it was-would be bathers of the local agency force of the Supreme Liberty Life Company which was picnicing at Garfield Park and were chased out of the pool, several weeks ago, by white hoodlums. J. F. Morning is the Cleveland district manager of this company and should have taken up this matter with Director of Safety Edwin D. Barry who has guaranteed our people all the protection they need on the beaches and in the pool. Wonder if Manager Morning did? If Morgan did of our leading Mt. Pleasant residents headed by Mr. Emmett Meade, E 130th St., were in conference with the director on this very matter as recently as two weeks ago. Since our councilmen absolutely refuse to do anything, it makes it necessary for others to act. Rounder Notes What truth is there in the rumor that several heads were "cracked" with pop-bottles at a Payne meeting in the 11th ward, last week Friday evening? When the 19th ward Republican club held its meeting Tuesday evening, one of the speakers slated has announced that he intends to "skin" "The Blossom Triplets." Be sure to do a good job, brother! TO DEMOBILIZE OUR TROOPS Washington, D. C.—From an order issued recently by the War Department relating to our four regiments in the U. S. army, it becomes evident that the Government has decided to demobilize them by permitting re-enlistment only within 20 days and then to fill vacancies only. And further, as indicated editorially in The Gazette, last week, our regiments, it seems, are no longer to be combat units but are to be converted into "labor battalions", so there will be no more taking honor from the white American soldiers as was done by Afro-American soldiers in France, during the World War. A petition has been filed by the Victory Life Insurance Co. in federal district court here, to cancel a policy in the Victory Life insurance Company of Illinois on the site of Dr. S. Paul Berry (deceased), Atty Perry B. Jackson is representing the beneficiary, the widow, and is filing a motion to dismiss the petition. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The Funeral Services. Washington, D. C.—Andrew Rankin chapel, at Howard University, was taxed to its utmost capacity, Monday afternoon, upon the occasion of the funeral services for the late George W. Cook, dean emeritus and a member of the board of trustees of Howard U. The eulogy was delivered by President Mordecai W. Johnson. Following the services, interment took place at the Lincoln cemetery. The President paid high tribute to the human kindness, youthful radiance and great love of Prof. Cook for his home and Howard University, and said Dean Cook was known as a severe administrator, yet one who was loved by the students he has disciplined. He also said Prof. Cook was able to fight for the civic rights of the race with an affected kindness and love for those whom he fought. His love for Howard, Dr. Johnson continued, was indicated in his last words on his death-bed: "Tell every girl and boy that has ever been at Howard University, and who is now at Howard University, that I love them and want them to go out and make good." Among the many out-of-town friends to attend the funeral were: Walter White who flew by plane from New York City; Dr. Scott Wood of Pittsburgh, a fellow-student of Dean Cook at Howard more than fifty years ago; Rev. R. E. Palmer of Buffalo, the Hon. J. C. Ashbury of Philadelphia, A. C. Garner of New York City, Atty. W. Justin Carter, a fellow-member of the board of Prime Sport News A double-header, by the Kansas City Monarchs and Homestead Grays two of our best baseball teams, will be played, Sunday afternoon, at the stadium, the first game starting at 1:30, noon. The Monarchs, winners of four of our National League pennants and two world series, are our strongest club in the west, while the Grays have beaten scores of teams of both groups in all parts of the country, including the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tolan Betters His World Record. Hastings Park, Vancouver, B.C.—Eddie Tolan, former University of Michigan cinder star, bettered his world record in the 100-meter feature race of the British Columbia track and field meet here, last Saturday, when he broke the tape in 10.3 seconds. He defeated Frank Wykoff, University of Southern California, by two yards, while Percy Williams, Vancouver, Olympic games sprint champion, sat on the side lines with a sore muscle. Tolan's time clipped one-tenth* of a second from the world mark of 10.4 jointly held by himself and Charlie Paddock of Pasadena. Champion Eddie also won the 100-meter race at the Detroit policemen's annual field meet. Aug. 15. "Gorilla" Jones Wins Bout. Milwaukee, Wis. — Six of the country's leading middleweight boxers appeared at Borchert field, Tuesday night, in the first of a series of bouts to determine a successor to the crown vacated by Mickey Walker. The pairings were: Clyde Chastain Dallas, Tex., vs. Rudy Marshall, Stanford, Conn.; "Tiger" Thomas, Philadelphia, vs. "Gorilla" Jones, Akron, O., and Tait Littman, Cudahy, Wis., vs. Ham Jenkins, Denver, Colo. Each of the bouts was a 10-round elimination contest, on the bill, promoted by Wm. Mitchell, matchmaker. This tournament was sponsored by the national association to determine a world middleweight champion. In the semi-final affair, "Gorilla" Jones, 149% of Akron, O., was given the judges decision over "Tiger" Thomas 159%, of Leiperville, Pa. Broke Her Nose. Jaw. Arm Los Angeles, Calif. — Stepin Fetchit, "Aftre" screen comedian, was not the lazy, lackadaisal man at home that he depicted in the films, his wife charged in a divorce suit filed, Tuesday. Instead, Fetchit, who was sued under his true name of Lincoln Perry, broke the nose, jaw, and arm of Dorothy Perry his wife, and was charged with suit relates. Mrs. Perry asked $350 a month for the support of herself and their son, Jejiao.

C.—Approval of the efficiency and straightforwardness of the present administration of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was given, last week, by the heads of our National Insurance Association who met here, at the New Masonic Temple, and discussed situations which have arisen, since last June 17, when the new officers of the company took charge. This is encouraging. A call issued by M. S. Stuart, president of the association, briet here nine presidents of our insurance companies, from various sections, who signed the statement as prepared by Mr. Stuart and Harry H. Pace. BOYDSTON POST. At the recent state American Legion convention in this city 14 of our Ohio posts were represented by a L. A. which will benefit our children, too. Boydston Post was well represented in the parade, with its drum corps and two uniformed units—one in Legion uniform and the other in white. Commander Gibbs led one of the largest delegations in the parade, making a fine showing for Cleveland. The two units were in command of Wallace E. Stokes and Samuel V. Perry. Harry J. Walker, as adjutant of the 9th division, with the Vice-Commander Wm. Konold of there and led the thrust the march. There were 42 drum and bugle corps and bands in this division alone. Boydston Post headquarters were furnished by the Mayer-Marks Co. of this city, were visited by many, and highly praised. The cabaret party at the Elks was a real show led by Marion Sears, his band, Ollie Potter and other entertainers. The state commander, his staff and others of the other group also attended it. Special mention of The Gazette was given in a state report on convention publicity by Harry J. Walker of that committee. Boydston Post delegates to the convention were Mr. Walker, Lawrence Payne, Chas. Taylor and Samuel Perry. Chas. Parker of Bloce Post, Columbus, improved the past week. The local American Legion has had him transferred to the new Marine hospital, in Fairmont Rd., where he is receiving excellent care from government physicians. He waited for Normandy hotel, Columbus Rd., was stabbed while attending the recent convention. The police cleared him of all responsibility for the fracas. The party will be brought to justice at a per time. Mr. Parker has been visited by many, including his employer from Columbus. The crazed assailant (white) was not killed by any members of Boydston Post but died from a cerebral hemorrhage. The post and its band were not in any wise responsible for his death. W. M. Rhodes, an old Cleveland- well-known to our older residents and for many years steward of Mineral De Penoles, headquarters at Monterey, Mex., and an uncle of Mrs. Ruth B.

He has extended the toror of The Gazette an invitation to visit him for "six or eight weeks", promising to place his car and his wine cellar at the disposal of the editor. --- IN UNION IS STRENGTH. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 325,000 in Ohio. 75,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1931. Prof. George William Cook, dean emeritus and a trustee of Howard University, Washington, D. C., who died last week, had been an outstanding figure in the field of education for fully a half century. He was the oldest member of the faculty of that well-known institution, a fine man, our long-time friend; active also in civic and racial matters. His passing is a great loss to the race. His wife and son have the heart-felt sympathy of scores of friends and acquaintances throughout the length and breath of this land. Several months ago, The Gazette called on Congressman Oscar DePriest to do more talking and work in the Congress and not so much at $ per speech outside of it, because there was so very much to be done that was of vital interest to the progress of the race. None of our contemporaries had any comment to make on our suggestion to our only Congressman, but it is very different now since some of his constituents have issued a "manifesto" to that effect, and more. Mr. DePriest would be wise to act on the suggestion, and to do so as promptly as possible. MORGAN RESPONSIBLE! In the last analysis, City Manager Morgan and the Republican majority in the city council are directly responsible for every color-line drawn against our people in any of the many city departments, and that includes the bathing beaches, pools, etc. Some one should inform them that there is an election, this fall, and that the thousands of Afro-American voters in this community are familiar with the foregoing and will not forget it on election day in November. It is up to Mr. Morgan to take the initiative, representing the Republican majority in the city council, three of whom are "Negroes" — "The Blossom Triplets", George, Payne and Bundy. BEACH AND POOL COLOR-LINES It is a positive insult for any one of "The Blossom Triplets" to "score" our people for using a certain section of the Lake Erie beach, illegally allotted them by prejudiced employees of the city. Our oldest councilman, Clayborne George, is said to have done this at a recent meeting of his East End Political club in E. Mt. Zion Baptist church, this city. We have three members of Cleveland's city council, George, Payne and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets", all of whom have known, all summer, of the mistreatment of our people who sought to use not only the Lake Erie beaches in our public parks but also the "public" pools of the city. For weeks and months, we have urged our people to use them and at the same time insisted that "The Blossom Triplets" see that they were protected and not discriminated against while using them. This they have utterly failed to do, up-to-date. Yet in the face of this, and many other like failures, they are appealing to their constituents for re-election to the City Council in November. It is positively silly for George, Payne and Bundy to continue telling our people to "notify" them when they are mistreated on the beaches, in the pools or anywhere else in the city; also that "it was the desire of the park department of the city of Cleveland that our group should use any section of the beach at Gordon park for bathing." What about the city pools, also? "The Blossom Triplets" and the park department of the city have failed all summer to give the greatly needed and much-promised police protection, with the result that our people of this city are not using the beaches and the pools to any appreciable ex- tent. For this there is no one to blame more than Councilman George, Payne and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets". As we have said repeatedly, we say again and that is that they have been the most dismal of failures as representatives of our people in the City Council. They "double-crossed" us in the "Blossom" matter; they have not eradicated any of the prejudice and colorlines in the various city departments; they have not done a single thing to open any of the public beaches and pools in the city to our people, and to all of the many complaints that have been carried to them their reply has been that of Councilman George, as announced in his East End Political club meeting, and that was to "notify" them. All three of our councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets" have been "notified" until they ought to be how-legged, cross-eyed and hump-backed. Notifying them has secured our people no action whatever. Blossom remains director of welfare; the beaches and the pools continue to discriminate and drive our people away from them; colorlines of one kind and another continue to multiply in the various city departments, and our people continue to "notify" them with absolutely no favorable results as far as "The Blossom Triplets" are concerned. LORD, HAVE MERCY! What these joke councilmen have coming to them in November, on election day, does not require a prophet nor a son of a prophet to foretell. Our people of this community can hardly wait until that time arrives to vote those three political "birds" into the obscurity they should never have been lifted from. That some of our people have been permitting city employees or others to segregate them on the Lake Erie beach at Gordon park is a terrific indictment of the three "Negro" councilmen, George, Payne and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets". CHASED "OUT OF TOWN"! Madame Louise Pridggee Showing George, Payne and Bundy How to Do Their Duty. It looks as if a woman of the race is about to show "The Blossom Triplets" what a real councilman of color could do, if he would. As a result of her activity, Safety Director Barry, late Wednesday was directed by City Manager Morgan to investigate charges that police of the E. 55th-Perkins precinct recently bundled nine of our girls into a patrol wagon, took them beyond the city limits late at night and dumped them there. The charges were made by the police, a pride of a local district council candidate, who said two of the girls had sworn to affidavits detailing the "K. K. K." night ride. The affidavits indicate that Police Capt. Louis Cadek ordered Sergt. Wm. O'Brien to see that the girls were "thrown out of the city, bag and baggage," and that after being held at the precinct and central station, from last week Thursday evening until late Friday, this was summarily done. Atty. Pridego said the girls said told them the girls were to be dumped at the garage and walked a long distance to a farm house and paid a farmer $2 to drive them to the E. 55th St. carline, arriving home after midnight, last week Friday. © PICTORIAL REVIEW Redingote. 5625 4-22 FUR-CUFFED SLEEVEES Of course, you know how the Redingote (the newest and smartest form of ensemble) I have risen to instant popularity.

OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves, and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. YOU KNOW ME, WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THAT PIANO BOX? THE MISSUS WAIT UP IN THE HALL OUR ENGINE IS CHEFS UNIT, IF CARRIES THEM TO THE CELLA NEIGHBOURS 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: OBJS. ed. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county.

(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 the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and any person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Be it ever so painful to the 112h ward Democratic club, Director of Public Safety Edwin Db, Barry was entirely within his rights as an offt- cial 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 - Outhwaite playground,” for the benefit of Democratic candi- dates or any one else, As he well said, the murder the first of last week at the “Clayborne George-Eust End Political club's carnival,” cor. E. 79th St. and Cedar Avé., was quite enough; yes, and a little too much! Wonder how all of our min- isters who were advocating the re- election of “The Blossom Triplet” George feel toward his candidacy now? The director's statement that “we propose to watch Dr. lL. 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 suffi- clent consequence to justify any such concern on the part of Director Rarry and the police department. ‘That murder in the fourth counetl- manic district's “George”-carnival, to “help finance his campaign,” was sufficient reason for the director's stopping the proposed carnival in the third councilmanie district even if a carnival was being conducted on the West side of the city without murder as a side attraction.

Dr. “Jimmie” Owen, of this city, in a letter asking Newton D. Baker, former colorline mayor of Cleve: land, 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 ts not the friend that it should or is sup- posed to be, and as a result have decided to stand, fight for and fol- Tow men of the highest type and noblest character, regardless of party affiliation.” Isn't that rich? Black as the Re- publican party may be painted by any “disgruntled Negro’ politician, including “Little Jimmie,” it is not one-tenth as black as the rotten na- tional Democratic party, led by Cole Blease of South Carolina, “Tom Tom” Heflin of Georgia, Pat Har- rison of Mississippi and other south- ern “Negro’-hating and lynching- advocating members of that party. “Newty”” Baker would have to “cow- tow" fo 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 poli- ties. We know this wouldn't be dif- ficult. for Newton D. Baker to do because he is a southerner by birth and residence, and only an Ohioan by adoption. | However, Dr. “Jim- mie’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, ean ; 5 sl O.

C.) Society, Washington, D. C.) FOOCHOW, which once ranked among the tea ports of the world and then, two decades ago, bowed to Ceylon and Japan, is staging a comeback. The steep slopes of Fukien province, of which Foochow is capital and leading city, again are covered with thriving tea bushes; big-hatted men, women and children throng the plantations, picking tea leaves from dawn to dusk; tea-laden porters form an almost endless parade from the plantation to the tea warehouses, and boats on the Min piled with packages of tea recall the days when Yankee clipper ships cleared Foochow with cargoes of fragrant leaves, destined to American teapots. Foochow port is really not in the city's suburbs. The nearest gate in the city's five-mile, vine-clad wall is more than three miles from the north bank of the Min, about 34 miles from the sea. Few travelers visit Foochow. To reach the port, one must go by boat, for railroads and good roads are not to be found in this region. Oceangoling vessels from Shanghai and Hong Kong make regular trips up the Min which penetrates the Chinese coast opposite the north end of Taiwan (Formosa). The vessels may steam up the river as far as Pagoda Anchorage. There passengers are transferred to launches which, after nine miles of dodging matting-covered samans and grotesquely carved, high-pooped junks, deposit their human cargo at the city's suburban docks. If one wants to "go native," however, he may board a native boat with the owners' family, fowl, dogs and pigs and travel in the unwesternized atmosphere of the Min. The river's obstruction at Pagoda Anchorage is artificial, formed when stone-laden barges were sunk there to prevent a French fleet from reaching the city during the Franco-Foochow troubles in 1884. It is the characteristic of the Chinese love for things as they are that Foochow business men have waited so long to take steps to clear the channel and thus avoid the endless annoyance of reloading of cargoes. From River to City. The journey from the river to the city may be made by bus, jinrikisha or sedan chair. Frequently travelers prefer to be landed on the south side of the river where they get a glimpse of the most modern portion of Foochow—the foreign settlement. On a small hill are foreign consulates, western churches, hospitals and handsome residences which constitute a community almost independent of the Chinese city, while below is a business district with streets lined with foreign and native-owned shops where eastern and western merchandise is on display. Commodious clubs, wide sweeps of grassy lawns dotted with flowering gardens, a race track, tennis courts and craft pleasure on the Mint tend to keep the small foreign population contented. The visitor should not hurry into Foochow proper, even if he could, for to do so would be to miss the physical beauties and fabled history that accentuate each step of the journey from the ocean to the port. Along the Min one may see pearl divers. Should a diver be drowned his fellows stolically conclude that he has fallen a victim to the sea-turtle, Chinese equivalent for the legendary sea-serpent of the West. Near Pagoda Anchorage rises Sharp peak, capped by a tower built by a wife to welcome home an oriental Enoch Arden who, when he saw it, thought he had mistaken the river, and sailed away again, never to return. A mandarin's footprint in a rock commemorates the summary punishment of quarrymen who kept right on chopping away its companion footprint, despite the flow of blood that spurted out at each stroke. When removed to a place in a bridge it registered a protest by kicking its bearers into the river, so the companion was not molested. Inside the Foochow wall a few modern schools and government buildings have punctuated an otherwise low, flat sky line of rather dingy buildings. Telegraph keys click in telegraph offices, electric lights are available to those who can afford them, a few automobiles may be seen on the main streets, and western fashions vie with those of the Orient. But if the traveler steps into a Foochow side street, he steps into an era several centuries past. Streets that twist and turn and come to abrupt stops were marked features of Foochow's early city planners. For example, the tortuous route of one street might be visualized by drawing a diagram. It begins by running eastward and then northward, eastward, northward, eastward, northward, eastward, eastward, southward, westward, southward, southeastward, southward, westward, southward, eastward and southward. The whole course of this thoroughfare is equal to but a few American city blocks in length and nowhere is it wide enough for even a jinikisha to pass without driving playing children and their playmates—filthy dogs and pigs—into bordering doorways. The sedan chair is used by most travelers to penetrate the Foochow passageways where the odors permeating the atmosphere are so overwhelming to foreign nostrils that chair bearers are urged on to the nearest breathing spaces. Ancient as Foochow seems to be to the westerner, it is a sort of wild west of China to the natives of Canton and Peiping. In the days of Confucius all China looked upon the region that now is Fukien province as the balliwick of barbarians. The wall that encompasses the city did not rise until the Ming period which covered the years that America was discovered and colonized. While poor transportation facilities for reaching Foochow have constituted an important factor in keeping the city truly oriental, cholera and the bubonic plague have also caused outsiders to give it a wide berth. Perhaps the pleasantest portion of a Foochow tour is a visit to the tea factories and warehouses where tea leaves, scented with jasmines, roses and chrysanthemums are sorted from dawn to dusk by Chinese women and children. Last year Foochow exported more than 7,000,000 pounds of Fukien tea and re-exported an additional 5,000,000 pounds which were shipped to its "tea perfumeries." There are more than forty tea factories in the city. The open shops along the Foochow streets reveal thousands of natives eking out an existence in various industries. Before one's eyes artisans make wooden pillows and images of gods and odd-looking beasts; cabinet makers turn out fancy furniture; potter's shape and fire handsome vessels; brick makers fashion their products in all shapes, sizes and colors; both men and women sit silently embroidering, or weaving the dark cloth usually worn by peasants; and dyers, with inky hands, seemingly turn old garments into new of a different color. Trade with 27 cities and many small villages above Foochow which are reached by river boats accounts for much of Foochow's commercial activity. It was not until 1861 when the Min was opened to foreign shipping that the city's "suburbs" spread out along the Min banks and Foochow merchants beckoned to world trade. Since then Foochow's annual output of tea alone once reached nearly 100,000,000 pounds and it bids fair to repeat. The Dog Worshipers. On a mountain not far from the city one encounters the dog worshipers—easily distinguishable by the peculiar coifure of their women; a scaffold-like effect with a cord dangling before the face. This is worn because of a myth which holds that a dog once saved the city and the gods rewarded him by subjecting him to a process by which he was to become human after his incarceration for seven times forty days. An impatient provincial Pandora lifted the cover when all but his head had been transformed and thus left a dog-headed man. In going to claim his bride his face was covered so his canine features might not offend her. So, to this day, the women of the mountain wear the headdress in honor of him and, on New Year's day, they worship the image of a dog. Near the city is Doctrine hill, which derives this one of its many names from the residence there of a certain learned man who accumulated a library—a 540-volume shelf—known as the "Doctrine of the Universe." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1931 Travel Prints Are Talk of Town Travel Prints Are Talk of Town 1930s WITH the back-to-the-city movement, which soon will be bringing wandering vacationists into an environment of schoolroom, office and campus, comes the urge for something stunning and thoroughly practical to wear during the busy autumn days. There is no doubt about the answer to this call for a chic and serviceable "first" fall costume. All fashlondom is proclaiming the good news about the dress and jacket-suit made of the new travel prints (some call them "city prints") which do not wrinkle or crush and which are patterned in the most fetching colors one may ever hope to see. And are they trig looking? They are just that. So much so that to fail to yield to their lure is to lost an opportunity to look dressed at one's smartest during the dawning days. The colors of these handsome travel prints are planned for service at the same time that they reflect the rich autumnal tones and tints which fascinate the eye. They are expressed in terms of gay plaids, checks, novelty strips and tweedlike effects which are typical of the fall mode. Almost without exception every one-piece dress has its own jacket. Then, too, they are tailored in a town way and this adds to their swank. Cunning details mark their styling, such as a tri-colour scarf collar or a boloer Bundles for Children The wee moderns come into the fashion spotlight with these three-tone kid sandals in fuchsia, blue and pink, with a pink kid back strap. They have a square toe and medium height heel, just like the growup ones. This sanday is worn with crepe pajamas in pink, with long trailing chiffon ruffles set on below the knee. CHERIE NICHOLAS. Designers Take Stand for Two-Piece Dress Designers have taken a bold stand in favor of the two-piece dress, the darling of fashion a few seasons ago. The two-piece has even invaded the evening field at the same time that the back-buttoning bodice appears as the back obstacle to a woman's getting dressed in schedule time. Along with the trend toward simplicity in some directions, there are bound to be contradictions of sorts. jacket which ties at the front in a soft bow in a manner as illustrated to the left in the picture. The clever little pockets which pose abreast of this bolero are swagger, too, as is also the skirt with its carefully stitched pleats and its pointed yoke. Any maid or matron will enjoy wearing this cool sleeveless dress (the sleeves are mere caps) right now, and with its jacket for months to come. The companion costume shown in the picture is likewise intriguing. It is blue, that is its predominating color is blue, although a medley of hues are subtly introduced in its patterning. The mode of wearing white accessories is followed in the pleated white mousselline collar and frills, also the white kid and gauntlet gloves. It is possible to get these prints in as modest tones as one may desire, the checks and plaids and intermingled effects being worked out to a nicety in prevailing tones of red, brown, green, rust, navy or black. Of course, these nifty costumes of travel silk prints will be topped off with chapeaux which announce a revolutionary change in the millinery program, in that the new hats are small and are worn with a rugish tip-tilt over-the-eye manner which is proving most interesting and becoming. (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) ACCESSORIES ADD LIFE TO COSTUMES Out-of-door costumes for early fall are deemed very fashionable when in white with pastel accessories. The oft pink and blue tones in suit or frock conversely are accented by white gloves, bags, hats and shoes. Smarter and newer is the duet of summer green with the colorless or white ensemble, an alliance enhanced by the sports shoe of brown and white. One alluring outfit blessed with several sets of accessories is perhaps the most satisfactory way of varying a limited wardrobe. Whoseover has chosen white accessories for the pink or blue costume, may add to this by the green or yellow frock or suit without much expenditure. For these two colors loom large on the midsummer color horizon. Black also is a happy thought in accessories for yellow, as is brown, provided the latter is suited to the complexlon. New Millinery Styles to Influence Hairdress With the dawn of a new era for millinery, comes now the question of hair arrangement which shall effect a nice harmony with the quaint little tilted brims which are making their debut for midseason and fall. Coverings, as these little hats of second empire influence do, the right of the head, revealing the hair at the left, also showing it at the back, because of their forward tilt, the short boyish bob must pass out of the picture. In its stead, shoulder-length hair is forecasted, so that it can be curled at the sides, with special attention given to a soft full arrangement at the left, where the coifure is so definitely exposed. There is sure to be quite a bit of practicing before the mirror on the part of milady who is intent on mastering the art of wearing her new fall hat "just so." CHERIE NICHOLAS. Lounging Pajamas Lounging palazas in two-color effects are very smart and in many cases so formal that they may be worn for dinner and bridge. Pink and deep rose, absinthe and turquoise, yellow and pale blue, coral and navy are a few of the colors that have been successfully combined. 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 share deal. His hospital and public 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. Many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these more hospitals. There is no need for them, and the physicians should know that they are just unacceptable as their "race hospital ideas" are. In Jersey City, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the finest and best equipped hospitals in this country. In these hospitals no discrimination is shown. Dr. Euclid Ghee, son of the well-known 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, student status, name, he has 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. Only physicians of known ability are allowed to work in these 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 noist about establishing some particular place for some colored professional trade, there is in the back-ground incompetence, selfishness and graft. Our physicians can be as well equipped as any other physician, if they would only take time and money and prepare themselves. There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's," etc., because they are not prepared to ply their trade or enter "Y's" among men of standing and first-class qualifications. The day of "race accommodations," to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSEMEN, then, a man of elf of persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principle asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same path as the rest of 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, and many of them 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 and Y. M. C. A. buildings, exclusively "Negro," was imminal 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 13:4; Matt. 6-8:10-12-14. (b) The cornerstone of American democracy is an equal opportunity for all men in an endeavor without partial 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!"—Gal. 3:26, 28—is absolutely denied in toto by Julius Rosenwald's method of charity as announced, "exclusively for Negroes." (2) Why should he endeavor to foist "exclusively Negro hospitals" in the North? Did the colored people "en masse" ask for this blk 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" of 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. "THE BLOSSO BROKE THEIR PLEDGED ENTS AND NO Dr. Horace C. Bailey's Mis rector Blossom and th ment to Him—C "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND NOW MUST PAY! "The Triplets", Etc. Cleveland, O., Aug. 19, '31. Wendell Phillips Dabney, Editor, "The Union." Cincinnati, O. Dear Confrere:—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, group or race of people in this city was added the rights of privileges mentioned in the foregoing sentence. 2010 468 12-421 When Rev. Horace C. Bailey, for more than twenty years one of our leading ministers in this community, took his motherless granddaughter, 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 insulting Blossom statement and demanded that the director's ousting as well as that of the then City Manager Wim R. Hopkins. The writer, "The Blossom Triplets" and all other speakers in the third and fourth councilmatic 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 Hopa and the Mangalorean elected on that pledge and early in last year, soon after the outing of After Read subscribe after Lawrence O. Payne 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 for the girls between eleven and 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. M TRIPLETS" TO THEIR CONSTITU- NION MUST PAY! Permeable Mistreatment by Di- e Latter's Coarse State- Other Failures of 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's City Council for more than a year and a half, scores of our young men and women who have won positions in civil service examinations have failed to support them as a piece of result of this failure upon the part of "The Blossom Triplets." 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. This letter is already too 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. And in January next it will be good Ridance 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" with the assistance of the late Geo. A. Myers 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. AFTER 40 bowel trouble Constipation may very easily become chronic after forty. And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders. Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor knows best. "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin" is a doctor's prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies. Made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients, it cannot cure your constipation. You can be used without harm as often as your breath is bad, or when your tongue is coated; whenever a headache, bilious, gassy condition warns you of constipation.
