CORRESPONDENTS must mall all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Sunday or Monday of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the window about returned copies, if proper credit for them is desired. Lists of names, wedding presents, programs, obituary notices, inquiries for relatives and advertisements of all kinds, including items announcing entertainment to be held in the near future, must be paid for in advance at the rate of 20 cents to a line. Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application.

WALTER WHITE ARRAIGNED
As a Result of the Scottsboro, Ala.
Victims Cases—Charged With
Playing with the K. K. K.
of "Alabam".
New York City—(C. N. A.)—Walter White, upon which the head officials of the N. A. A. C. P. have often told us a price rests in southern states, seems now to have no trouble passing in and out of Alabama. He has freedom of access to the Kilby prison in which the "framed" Scottboro boy -victims face the electric chair, thru the cooperation of Steven Roddy, the Klippman taikai by the C. P. with the lynch-court of Alabama bosses and landlords. Today, the Ku Klux Klan press of the South, particularly the Jackson County, Ala. Sentinel and the Chattanooga Defender, the press which stirred up the lynching mobs against the Scottboro boys during the days of the trial; the press which characterized these innocent boys as the most bastardly now quote Mr. White's comments against the K. L. D, the defenders of the Scottboro boys, and praises him for his "prudence and wisdom". His interviews against Communism appear throughout the K. K. K. press. But we find that Mr. White has nothing to say against lynching, mob-violence, jim-crowism, discrimination in general and segregation; against the murderous thugs of Camp Hill, Ala. and Chicago; against the whole system, semi-slave exploitation of the south; against the peonage, share-cropping, forced labor and debt-slavery. He has nothing to say against this system which breeds starvation and death, but finds the most vicious condemnation for those who oppose this system.
Investigator Is Freed.
Cincinnati, O.—Charles H. Slater, age 62, 5919 Piqua Ave., private investigator, was freed, last Saturday, by U. S. Commissioner August A. Siemon on a charge of having represented himself as a Federal investigator for the Narcotic Bureau. Slater said he had been a private investigator for 20 years and had done work for President Harding M. Daugherty, one-time Attorney-General, and a number of Senators.
CADIZ—Dr. Henry Hargrave and daughter, Audrey, of Homestead, Pa., and Mrs. Lottie Hargrave of Smithfield were guests of Mrs. Frances Christian, Sunday.—Misses Lucy Doubt and Rose Alexander of Zanesville visited relatives here, last week. —Word has been received here of the death of Paul Harris in Lima, a死者, radiz, citizen.—Mrs. Louise Wills, radiz, citizen.—Mrs. M.

Miss Arnita Burr was honor-guest.—Mr. and Mrs. F. Johnson, Miss C. Essex and Mrs. M. Waters also attended the home-coming at Georgetown, Sunday.
Smithless and Jonesless.
Key West, Fla.—This city has one distinction that few others in America can claim. There are no Smiths or Joneses residing here. And the superstitious say those who assign telephone numbers must have had sense of the fitness of things for they gave the city jail, number 13.
Two Lynch-Murders!
Blounstown, Fla.—Two "Negroes" were lynched 15 miles south of here, late last Saturday night, after they had been released from jail on bond. They were only charged with attacking Frazier Williams, a forest ranger. Father and son were killed by a fusillade of rifle and pistol shots. A coroner's investigation held the men came to their deaths "at the hands of a band of masked men." Of course.
"Brownie, Old Boy" Dead
Cincinnati, O.—Funeral services were held, Tuesday, for Wellington H. Brown, aged 79, for many years a court bailiff and active in Ward 18 politics in the days of George B Cox. Brown died in our Masonic home at Urbana. As bailiff he was charged with thephy and later in the court of Judge O'Connell. He also had been employed at the County Infirmary.

39 YEARS SERVICE!
John E. Jackson Has Served "Uclean Sam" That Long—Retired on Pension—Coworkers' Gifts.
We herewith give an excellent portrait of John E. Jackson, who after thirty-nine years in the U. S. railway mail service, was retired, Monday, and placed on the pension list at $1200 a year. His appointment was secured by him Congressman Theodore E. Burton (deceased) of St. Louis. He served the Terming clerks of the U. S. R. M.

All of the clerks, male and female (the latter white) collaborated in arranging for the gifts, and he was they are all holding one large happy family and is proud of their long and pleasant association while at work. He is an Elk a Woodman, and has been active in local instrumental musical circles for many years, officiating at times as leader of several of our local bands. Mrs. and Mrs. Jackson re-entered the 1382 band in a day or two to visit relatives in Chicago and other western cities.

San Francisco, Calif. — Harry Smith, a New Yorker, defeated Jimmy Hanna (white), San Francisco middleweight, in a ten round bout here, Aug. 28.
Thompson vs. Bronillard.
Boston, Mass.—The Boston Garden announced the signing of Young Jack Thompson of Los Angeles and Chicago, world's wetterweight boxing champion, and Lou Brouillard of Worcester, for a championship match of 15 rounds, Oct. 23. Brouillard recently stopped Jackie Brady of Syracuse at Providence, R. I., and came into prominence here when he knocked out Al Mello, New England wetterweight champion.

With Panama Al Brown, Young Jack Thompson, "Kid" Chocolate, actual champions of their classes and big Geo. Godfrey, generally accuse him of being a pugilist, these days, it begins to look as if our boxers are soon to possess all of the titles since "Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, is apparently on his way to the championship of his most weight division. The Irish, Jowish Italian and other white boxes, or pugilists, seem to be retrograding.
Siki Lost.
Reginald Sikl, the Abyssinian giant-wrestler, sent John Pesek, "The Nebraska Tiger-Man", hurting thru the ropes on a five-count visit to the press bench, Tuesday night, at the Equestrium, but while John was no match for the Herculean Sikl in strength, he saved himself, time which again, by his cat-like speed which enabled him to with the contest in 25 minutes and 32 seconds, 5,000 people jammed the place and the sale of tickets was stopped, denying several hundred more admission.
Lefty Williams, a younger brother of "Smokey Joe", who was originally slated to oppose the Kansas City Monarchs, our baseball champions, in the first game of Sunday's double-header at the Stadium for the Homestead Grays, turned in a hurling that left nothing to be asked for. The archs to four hits and one run, winning, 9 to 1. They won the second game, however, 8 to 1. The clubs went to Chicago for two games, Sunday. The 4,000 fans were especially pleased with the loss of Oscar Charleston, the sensation of the Monarch of the Grays, who made three doubles and two singles, and scored four runs in the opening game.

REPRISALS FOR JUDGE PARKER'S DEFEAT
The N. A. A. C. P. Still Making a Mistake in Following Organized Labor's Lead—Southern Hoodlums Making the Reprisals, Says Doctor Byrd.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Jersey City, N. J.—A wave of lynching is now sweeping over this nation. The cause has not definitely been determined. It is said in some places that the wholesale lynching of our southern people is the answer to such a question being made by organized labor and the N. A. A. C. P. against Judge Parker of North Carolina and those who voted for him when he was up for confirmation as an associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. If this be true, it is a dastardly reprisal on the part of brutal southerners upon our defenseless people of the South, many of them never having heard of Judge Parker. There may be something in this contention. Those responsible for the continuation of the Parker fight should bear the blame for these situations. They may certainly conclude that they are guilty of the following:
(a) Poor sportsmanship. Any two men entering the arena to settle a matter always agree that the victor will be hailed champion and the vanquished will not be hounded because he fought, but another opponent did not. He care to contest again. Judge Parker was defeated and that should have ended it. Those achieving the victory should not make themselves offensive by abusing the loser.
(b) They are urging a people, now leaving the South where they have been lynched and denied the rights of a human being and entering a different section where fairness and a better life are all peoples, to begin their career by fighting those who voted for Judge Parker if they lived in this new section. A weak people cannot afford to seek reprisals upon a stronger.
(c) Judge Parker is still a federal district judge where our people are very numerous. The judge, if he venths his spite upon our litigants and the judge, is bounding of himself by organized law and the N. A. A. C. P., can make it very hard for them.
The writer favored the defeat of Judge Parker but he has no patience with any group of persons that continue persecuting the man and his supporters in the fight for confirmation. At the present time, the writer believes that Judge Parker would have been as true to the principals of law and justice, touching the U. S. Supreme Court bench. Be that as it may, let the judge go his way performing his federal duties
"THE WHITE RENEGADE"
A Most Insulting "Talkie"—Should Be Barred From the State—Protest to Gov. Geo. White.
Cleveland, Sept. 1, 1931.
Gov. George White.
Capitol, Columbus, O.
My dear Governor:—Last evening I witnessed the film, "The White Renegade," which I am sure never passed the Ohio State Board of Film Censors because on several occasions during the progress of the showing of the picture in a local theater, the miserably insulting mongrel terms, "darkey" and "n-r," were used, much to the discomfort of a goodly portion of the audience. I know that you will not permit the showing, throut Ohio, of so insulting a picture (talkie), and, therefore, am writing you promptly that you may notify the State Board of Film Censors, which I trust you will do immediately. There are more than three hundred thousand Afro-American residents in Ohio, many of them old residents and so-called citizens as you well know. I am sure that your consideration for them will cause immediate action to have this film, "The White Renegade," either properly censored or barred from the state of Ohio.
"The White Renegade" is being released in this section of the state by the Standard Film Exchange Co. Film Bldg. this city.
Rev. J. Albert Sterrett, pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, has resigned. There had been growing dissatisfaction with him ever since the beginning of his pastorate. Rev. Sterrett has been charged of St. John's, while Rev. Sterrett will substitute, as presiding elder, for him until conference. Roy Wilkins, former associate editor of the Kansas City, Mo. Call, has been appointed an assistant secretary of the A. C. P. headquarters N. Y. City.
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 NEWSTEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

with the knowledge that all citizens wish him well and for those who supported him in the fight let them know that was only one of the contests that they lost in, and in the future these same men, who voted against the wishes of a large number of them, were used to do great service for them. The attempt, on the part of those still fighting, Judge Parker and his
A. E. H.
friends to make our people believe that any member of the race voting for any who supported Judge Parker, is "a traitor to the race," is simply rot and blind assiminity! The sooner certain people know that all of our people will not think alike, just as those of no other race all think alike, the better it will be for all concerned. If the blood of our lynched people during 1931 was shed to square things with organ-bombing the A. A. C. the price has been dear and the unfortunate sufferers were made the victims of a matter they had nothing to do with.
Let Judge Parker alone and the southern hoodlums should let our defenseless people alone in those states where Democracy thrives upon allowing white hoodlums to destroy all of our people they desire to kill. If statesmen are to be led around by groups of their constituents who desire things and not by their calm and judicious convictions, our government will fall. Any. Our State would fall as science and intelligence dictates, and not as any group dictates. (Rev.) William A. Rxrd.
U. S. MARINE BAND
Coming to the Stadium, This Month
to Participate in, Consents
By special permission of President Hoover, the famed U. S. Marine band will give two concerts in the new stadium, a matinee and evening performance, Sunday, Sept. 27, it has been announced from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the musical unit. The visit of this band, which gained great renown under John Philip Sousa, America's march king, will be the first here since 1926 when "The President's Own Band" was brought to Cleveland under the auspices of the Junior League. Plans have been drawn to include every high school band in the city to play under the band's celebrated leader, Capt. Taylor Branson, at the afternoon concert. It is anticipated that the great stadium will be filled for the first time at the matinee which will be a special children's performance. Both afternoon and evening concerts will be at popular prices.
Police of the Fourth precinct, at E. 55th St. and Perkins Ave., Tuesday were ordered by Safety Director Edwin D. Barry to make a廓 cleanup of vice resorts in that district. The order results from the recent complaint by Atty. Louise Pridgone, that nine young women (four colored and five white) arrested on vice charges had been taken in police autos 20 miles into the courthouse. Louis Barry toured the complaint correct and Capt. Louis Cadek, in charge of the precinct, was held responsible.

New York City. — "The Green Pastures," our most successful theatrical offering Broadway has ever known, has ended its engagement here and gone to Chicago. The play opened at the Mansfield theater, Harlem, Feb. 26, '30, and closed, Aug. 29, '31. Thus it is seen that it spent a year and a half there, going right along through two heated terms and making a profit every week.

That was a great mass meeting at

morning, arranged by Mrs. Boston
J. Prince, wife of the pastor. About
all of our people in the twelfth
ward are strong for the re-election
of Councilman Herman Finkle, in
whose interest the meeting was
called. Finkle and his brother-in-
law, Atty, Alex Bernstein, do more
in a week for our people of the
twelfth ward and the third council-
manic district than “The Blossom
Triplets” (Councilmen George,
Payne and Bundy), who are laying
awake nights trying to get some

Miss~Delilah L. "Beasley of Oak-

department of the “Oakland Daily
Tribune” of Aug. 23, "31, in speak-
ing of Pres. W. J. Hale of Tennessee
N. and I. College, Nashville, who
has been exceptionally successful in
building up that institution, as fol-
lows:
“Due to his self-effacing disposi-
tion, Dr. Hale has never received
the Gegree of public notice that has
gone to jee deserving members of
the race.
‘That is easily explained. Mem-
bers of the race who have really
done something worthwhile for our
people are rarely ever given proper
“public notice” by our press, and
our other writers, because the lat-
ter are too busy “blowing the bu-
gles!" of the “less deserving” mem-
ders of the race. "Twas ever thus!

“TAKEN FOR A RIDE.”
Atty. Louise Pridgeon informs
‘The Gazette that all of those nine
girls “taken for a ride out-of-town,”
after ‘midnight on Friday night
week before last, by police of the
E. $5th-Perkins precinct, on order
of Capt. Louis Cadek, according to
Sergt. Wm. O'Brien of the same po-
Mee precinct, were not “Afros” but
that some of them were “white.”
Whoever ordered them deported
from the city, evidently, forgot that
‘even “women of the street, or un-
derworld” have some rights under
the law that even policemen, must
respect. That is what Mrs. Prid-
geon is trying to impress upon the
members of the police force of the
city of Cleveland by insisting that
City Manager Daniel E. Morgan

vestigation he ordered fs concluded

the matter was forced upon her be-
cause of the usual refusal of one
(Bundy) or more of “The Blossom
Triplets,” Councilmen George, Payne
and Bundy, to handle the matter
when appealed to. It is just such
action as hers in this matter that
our people have lacked, during the
past two years particularly, because
“The Blossom Triplets have failed
utterly to “measure up” as council-
men. It also proves beyond the
shadow of a doudt the fact that
George, Payne and Bundy, as coun-
efimen, do not yet know “what it Is
all about.” As the successor to
Councilman George, as a represen-
tative in the City Council from the
fourth district, Atty. Louise Prid-
geon grows stronger, each day, in
the estimation of our thotful and
Joyal members of the race in the
18th ward and fourth councilmanic
district. She would give us far bet-
ter representation in Cleveland’s
City Council than any we have had
in the last four years.

“Negro” newspaper in the country.”
That is a mistake. The Defender
of Aug. 15, 1931, was its 16th issue
in its 27th year,’ while The Gazette
of this city, edited and published
every week ‘on time by the writer
since its initial number, issued its
524 number in its 48th year on
Aug. 15, 1931, and is possibly the
oldest secular “Negro” newspaper in
this country.

The city band concerts in the pub-

been discontinued for the season.
Our local band leaders will now
wake up. The Russo, Gugliotta and
Vitale (Italian) bands played _re-

Oh, sure! as usual, They never se-

Dr. Edward J. Gregg, former

all last year and thus far, this year,
without anything ever being done
to put in the lights. What a won-

What a joy to have the bowels move
like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if
you mind these simple rules of a famous
‘old doctor:
1. Drink ‘a big tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several times
a day.
2 Get plenty of exercise without unduly
fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly
the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at times,
but the thing to use is Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. Then you'll gota good
feaning-out, and it won't leave ‘your
insides weak and watery. This reat
doctor's ooo is made from fresl
laxative herbs, pure pepsin, and other

(CHILDREN hate to take medicine
‘as a rule, but every child loves the
taste of Castoria. This pure vegetable
Preparation is just as good as it tastes;

When Baby’s cry warns of colic, a

valuable in diarrhea. When coated

Aviation in Canada
One of Canada's Far-Flung Trading Posts.
(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.)
ing rabbits in the woods and killing frogs with a knife
A. of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh's vacation flight to Japan and China routed them over many square miles of practically unexplored territory in northwest Canada, much of the country they traversed between Washington, D. C. and Baker Lake, Northwest Territories, has been flown by Canadian government air surveys and by aerial prospectors.
The native Indians, Eskimos and Royal Canadian mounted policemen of the Hudson Bay district have not before had such distinguished aerial visitors, but the sight of an airplane, either in winter or summer, is no new experience to them.
Few people, except those who have seen it, realize the high degree to which northern Canada has organized its air transport. Using water routes, open in summer, it has laid down a wide network of fuel and supply stations at strategic points. All around Hudson Bay, at convenient spots; down the Mackenzie river to Lake Athabaska; about Great Slave and Great Bear lakes and along the Arctic coast, and down the Yukon, these depots are set up. Now practically every district in continental Canada is within flying range of one of these stations. In fact, if you picture the Canadian airways as linked up with the air net in the United States, the broad statement is true that, given good weather, no place on the North American continent is now more than one or two dave' flight from a railway.
It was in survey work and in patrols of her millions of acres of forest reserves that Canada first used planes. The first attempt to use a plane on a long distance commercial mission was made by an oil company in 1921. To meet an emergency, it started two all-metal monoplanes, on skis, from the railhead at Peace river on a 1,200-mile flight to Norman on the Mackenzie river. The weather was vile; blizzards with temperatures of 40 and 50 below zero alternated with mild spring thaws.
Pilots Are Resourceful.
One plane, landing on crusted snow, at Simpson, broke through so that a ski collapsed and a propeller blade struck the ground. But the resourcefulness of Canadian pilots, in a smash, far from shops and spare-part stores, is revealed in Pilot Gorman's laconic report on this accident:
"March 30 . . . Will try and have a new 'prop' made here. Oak sleigh boards are available; also some glue. And a Hudson's Bay company man named Johnson is an old cabinetmaker . . . We can use the damaged propeller as a pattern and use the Catholic mission workshops here.
"March 31. Found moosehide glue. Borrowed some boat clamps, so that the boards can be clamped tightly together in making the laminated propeller.
"April 15. Tested the new propeller. It works satisfactorily."
The amazing degree to which planes now wipe out miles and save time in Canada was shown by flights and photography work carried on from a base on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From this stormy coast Capt. Vernon ("Turk") Robinson made flight after flight, bearing surveyors and supplies over a mountainous coast line into the interior plateau. He carried drums of gas by air, making caches at points far distant; from these deposits planes could operate even farther inland. Thus Grand Falls, on the Hamilton river, was finally reached. Then, after a day's flight of 800 miles, starting from Burnt lake, photographs were taken of the falls; and the next day the engineer-photographer was back in Quebec having his pictures developed. By sea and canoe, the only other means of travel, this task would have taken all summer!
Adventure, grim and perilous, is often the lot of pilots and passengers in flight over the long stretches of empty wilderness which intervene between fuel caches, camps, or settlements.
Meet With Perilous Adventures
Meet With Perilous Adventures.
One party, from a base on the in-hospitable Gulf of St. Lawrence, was forced down by bad weather and had to alight on an unknown lake. A floating log ripped the bottom from their hull and the flying boat sank. Casting aside their clothing, the crew swam for the shore. They made land minus any food or equipment, and spent a week, naked, in the woods, in the midst of the black-fly season. The days were blazing hot, but the nights freezing cold. Two men, badly hurt in the crash, reached the shore only with the greatest difficulty.
Happily, however, in the party was a land surveyor, who managed to swim ashore with a hand ax and a water-tight box of matches. Using his ax, he made a rude shelter. By sear-
ing rabbits in the woods and killing frogs with sticks, the party kept alive for seven days, till rescued by another flying boat sent to seek them.
The search for the lost Flyers, Coli and Nungesser, in May, 1927, nearly cost the lives of Captain Robinson and his crew. They had flown along the north shore as far as the Strait of Belle Isle, then full of ice, when a storm forced them down, Anchoring late in the evening, in the shelter of a rocky ledge, they curled up in their cockpit to await better weather. Suddenly the wind veered, blowing a gale from the open sea. Their anchor dragged and their ship smashed on the rocks. They saved their emergency kits, made a fire on shore from the wreckage of their plane, and cooked breakfast. They walked 20 miles along the beach, to a lighthouse and signal station, to report their whereabouts.
Returning from a flight up the Ashuapmuchuan river, one pilot brought with him an old Indian. When invited to ride, the red man seemed in no way perturbed at the prospect. He calmly donned helmet and goggles and settled himself in the front cockpit, as if flying were an everyday act with him. In a half hour he flew downstream a distance which just previously it had taken him six days to cover by canoe.
On landing he climbed out, stretched himself, and said to the pilot: "Bon cannot! How much him cost?" That Indian saw the advantage of air travel in the north country. Undoubtedly he graphically pictured to himself what paddlework he could save for himself and family in their long annual canoe trips to their hunting grounds, if they owned such a "bon cannot!"
Flying in Winter
In north Quebec, flying goes on summer and winter.
On a January morning Capt. Kenneth Sanders, chief pilot of the Canadian Fairchild company, started north with an engineer and a Hudson's Bay company official, on a visit to some of the northern trading posts. Unless one flies, it usually takes six weeks of mushing on snowshoes, with a dog team to haul baggage, to reach these wilderness outposts. Regions between posts are wholly uninhabited. Snow lies from four to six feet deep; trails, such as they are, usually follow the lakes and rivers, through a broken country of small timber.
When Saunders and party left Toberval the day was bright and fair, but the thermometer was 25 below. An hour up the Ahuapmuuchu they sighted the first trading post and circled to land on the frozen river. Either they struck a spot where a warm spring had thawed the ice or else an early fall of snow on this ice had prevented a thicker formation; anyway, the plane broke through. The men had barely time to crawl from the cabin before the whole fuselage was under water. Luckily, they were near the post, and Tom Moar, the Indian in charge, volunteered to walk out the hundred miles to civilization with a message. He started away within half an hour, taking only an ax, some matches and a chunk of moose meat. He made the trip in the record time of five days, sleeping twice, on the second and fourth night, in holes in the snow lined with balsam boughs, and traveling continuously the rest of the time.
Meantime the Canadians set about salvaging their plane. They made a platform of logs around the machine on which to work. As the water was not deep, a tripod of poles cut from the woods was built over the aircraft and its wings were removed.
Salvaged Their Plane.
Seven days later a rescue machine reached the scene with hoisting tackle and tools. The wrecked plane was moved safely to shore. A tent was erected around the front of the fuselage and the engine, which was a solid mass of ice. This ice was chopped out, and then a stove was lit in the tent and gradually the cabin and engine thawed out.'
The metal propellor, badly bent, was straightened and the engine reassembled. The carburator, though frozen in a solid block of ice for eight days, again worked perfectly.
On the 6th of February the plane was again ready for flight. Accompanied by the rescue machine, which had made several trips to ferry in gas, provisions, and little gifts for Mrs. Moar and her family (on whose hospitality the crew had been dependent during the salvage operations), it took off safely and flew back to Roberval.
Northern British Columbia is as inaccessible a country as can be found on this continent. Cut off from the Pacific by the panhandle of Alaska, with its coastal mountains and glaciers, it can be reached only by the Stikline, the Peace, or the Liard rivers and their tributaries.

FLASHES FROM
PARIS
Paris adores cotton, no question of that. In the magic bands of her couturiers, the loveliest of cotton weaves have taken on new beauty. The impression left as one views one triumph in cotton after another in the ateliers of noted French designers is that this summer's popularity of cotton has made an indelible mark on fashions of the future.
The fabric used includes velveteen for evening wraps and the same for stunning street clothes. Organdie, both printed and in solid colors, broadcloth, volle, batiste and dainty swishes are all treated with the art which has made Paris famous for beautiful clothes.
The effect of the Colonial exposition will be far-reaching in the fashion world, but nowhere will its influence be more felt than in cotton modes. This influence was also reflected in the frocks, hats and wraps worn by the spectators as well as the emphasis placed on smart cottons in the couturier displays.
Outstanding styles included organdie dance frocks with little sleeves that covered the shoulders, a black organdie evening gown with white lace inserts in bodice and skirt, also a very lovely dress of white organdie, its square ceyelens embroidered in silver.
Stripes Rival Plaid in Esteem of Designers
Whether one's taste calls for stripes or plaids makes no difference this season. Both systems are working well in fashion, for it is a patterned year. Stripes run around or up and down or both ways on the same garment. And plaids—well, they are biased or straight with no deep regard for any one set way. If one don't want to be patterned all over try a striped plaid coat with a plain dress.
Hand-Made Frocks
This summer will witness a marked vogue of French handmade frocks, very simply made with tiny tucks or hestitching and at their prettiest in white or pastel crepe.
PIN-TUCK TO BE IN
FAVOR FOR AUTUMN
Lends Smartness and Chic to Most Costumes.
There's a raft of smartness and chic tucked within the limited confines of a pin-tuck. More than ever, this season, designers are relying solely on pin-tucking to carry the whole burden of trimming the best and most expensive models.
It seems amazing that so simple an ornamentation as pin-tucked motifs can lend such charm, elaboration and richness to a frock. Thus we find this handwork on both day and evening frocks wherever smart women congregate.
It looks as though autumn clothes are going to be more pin-tucked than ever. No more do we allow the change of the season to be responsible for snatching from us some sartorial device that has won our fancy and approval.
What was worn during one season used to be considered demode the next. But no more, if we like pin-tucks on our summer frocks, why then, we are going to have them on our autumn frocks, that's all there is to that.
THE QUEEN OF WALES
An afternoon costume in black that shades upward to gray and white. The outfit is fashioned in dull silk crepe.
PARIS FAVORS
VELVET
According to what leading couturiers in Paris are saying, this is going to be a velvet fall and winter. The consensus is that there certainly will be as much velvet used this season as last year and probably more.
One reason for an increasing enthusiasm for this material is that the velvets now being made are the most beautiful and flattering that ever existed. According to the opinion of one leading designer, couturiers and fashion creators everywhere will have to use it, for nothing equally as attractive has been found to take its place. Another enthusiastic couturier declares that velvet has become the classic material for both daytime and evening costumes.
Frilly Things Are Back in Fashion for Coeds
The day of the sophisticated gown for the young girl is past. The young collegiate will find much that is frilly and frosty to emphasize her charm in the shops of today.
The newest evening dresses touch the floor in the back and all the way round, if one's height can stand it. They are fluffs of tulle and taffeta which swirl around the young girl's figure as she walks or dances. Taffeta with all its crispness is decidedly in vogue. Pastel pink is the favored color in this material.
Gray With Color
Just to prove how different a frock may look with a change of accessories some of the smartest shops show a simple gray wool crepe dress—and then added accessories in various colors. A red hat, bag, belt and flower are shown with one, yellow hat, bag and scarf with another and accessories of bright green with the third
UNDERWOOD & SHERWOOD
Jacket importance increases with the approach of fall. The one shown is a short coat of blue, white and yellow plaid to accompany a navy twill skirt and white blouse.
TEN RULES TO GIVE YOUR EYES BEAUTY
Specialists Offer Suggestions for Their Care.
Beauty specialists have worked out a series of ten rules for the care of the eyes. They are guaranteed to keep any woman's eyes beautiful and lovely. As summarized by Hazel Rawson Cades of the Woman's Home Companion, they are:
First of all, keep your eyes wide open. Big eyes are young and hard to resist.
A good massage movement to keep eyes from dwindling and receding is upward with the flats of the hands over the eyes and eyebrows and forehead.
Wink—this is your eyes' best exercise.
Squint lines obviously come from squinting.
Do not avoid eyeglasses if you want to avoid crow's-feet, red veins, blood-shot eyes and dark circles.
Try not to expose your eyes to bright lights, wind and dust, poor light or intensive reading.
Bathe your eyes dally with eye lotion and eye cup or dropper.
Rest your eyes by changing focus or closing them briefly.
Lie down and use cold compresses on the eyes when they are inflamed or overtired.
Increase the apparent size of your eyes by discreet use of shadow on upper lid.
"THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS"
BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND NOW MUST PAY!
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 Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, is here-with compiled with:
Dudley S. Blossom (wnite), 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 accorded the rights or privileges mentioned in the foregoing sen-

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 school, 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 wore struggling to elect Messrs. Drewe and Bailey, night after night from the public rostrums of the third and fourth districts, openly repeated the insulting Blossom statement and demanded the director's ousting as well as that of the then City Manager Wm. Hopkins. The writer, "The Blossom people" and 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 their power to help us build Hopkins." They were elected on that pledge and early in last year, soon after the outing 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 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 members have the power 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 secure them as a direct result of this failure upon the part of "The Blossom Triplets." Apparently, they have been too intent upon looking for the opportunity 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 again them in the loyal order of "The Blossom Triplets" 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 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

Yours for the race. [Henry] S. Smith, Editor. "The Gazette."
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. M. Zion Baptist church, this city. We have three members of Cleveland's county councilman George, Clayborne Bundy, "The 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 utterly failed to do, up-to-date. Yet in the face of this, and many other like failures, they are appealing to their constituents to use them 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 Cleveland have been beaches and the pools to any appreciable tent. For this is no one to blame more than Councilmen 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

The thousands of letters which come to him relating parents' difficulties or children's difficulties, or parents' difficulties under certain major headings, Mr Patri explains.

cated 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 bow-legged, cross-eyed and hump-backed. Notifying them has secured our people of this comedy. We have never, 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 hardly wait until that time arrives to harden our political "birds" into the obscurity they would 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".
