Detroit, Mich. — The national Convention of the American Legion will convene here, Sept. 21-24. The Legion has from the very beginning, forced our legionaires to set up "jim-crow" organizations. It has in all of its campaigns, carried out this "jim-crow" policy toward our veterans. In the South, the Legion is one of the strongest supporters of 65% American organizations as the Ku Klux Klan. It is estimated that 10,000 of our legionaires will attend this convention. They have remained in the organization despite its "jim-crow" policy and support of the Ku Klux Klan. One of the events on the Detroit program, will be a dance at the Arcadia where our legionaires are to be as usual. At the other social affairs, they will be treated likewise. S. H. Henson, secretary-treasurer of Local No. 23 of the National Federation of Postoffice Motor Vehicle Employees, Trentgn, N.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SECRETARIES WHITE AND BAGNALL MEMBERS OF NEW YORK CITY'S TAMMANY DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION "Messing in" New Jersey Politics and Affronting the N. A. A. C. P.'s Republican Members— Violating Organisation's Principles— Will Vote for Baird! Jersey City, N. J.—The N. A. A. C. P, has come into the political fight in New Jersey, not with the approval of its members and branches, at least a majority of them, but because of a decision of its management in New York City, with the avowed purpose of seeking a reprisal upon former Senator David Baird Jr. of New Jersey because he refused to oppose Justice John Baker of Virginia or one of the Association of Justice of the U.S. prime Court. By this act the Association has deliberately entered politics, which is a violation of the principles upon which it was founded, (we mean partisan politics). The Association has taken its New Jersey stand in opposition to its New Jersey membership. According to a reliable check up, Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, has been appointed Democrat Assist. Sec. Rev. Robert Bagnall is also a Tammany Democrat. These two men have allied themselves with the democratic candidate for Governor and to defeat David Baird Jr. Republican candidate for Governor. The Association may know at the outset that it is going to be fought. It must prepare to make a report to the Secretary of State at Trenton thus publish the source of its campaign and to defeat David Baird Jr. giving it as well as the amount spent. The people who have contributed to the Association, as a charitable organization, should be informed if any of the money given for various purposes other than political are spent in the New Jersey campaign. The two men leading this fight, Bagall and White, may expect a close scrutiny of their past in every particular and be prepared to demonstrate that the Association has been dragged into this political contest by these two men for IT will have to suffer for whatever is revealed that may weaken it before the public.

Anderson, for fourteen years a member of the city council, threw his hat into the ring, Monday, as a candidate to succeed Oscar DePriest in Congress. Mr. Anderson's statement flattered and unequivocal. He enters the race because he has been urged to do so by political and civic organizations in the district he aspiries to represent, and, he adds significantly, 'the great business interest, constituting 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 compari-son with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWWEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 1931. The Gazette and our people of Ohio desire to commend Gov. George White, and Dr. B. O. Skinner, state director of education, for their prompt action in the case of that obnoxious film, "The White Renegade." --- The new $800,000 Mosher-Jordan Dormitory at the University of Michigan will be open to all, this fall. This removes another miserable color-line in college life and Senator Chas. A. Roxborough, of Detroit, our only representative in the Michigan State Assembly, is entitled to much credit for this splendid Michigan accomplishment. --- Last week, Friday night, near Texarkana, Tex., a filling-station operator routed four men who were attempting to rob and kidnap him. The filling-station operator (white) was severely wounded in the arm. When the officers arrived on the scene and examined the bandits they found that three of them were dead and the fourth fatally wounded; also that several of the dead men were disguised as "Negroes." Many crimes have in this way been saddled upon our people in the South. --- When Alderman Louis B. Anderson of Chicago closes his campaign, for member of Congress, in the first Illinois district, next year, Congressman Oscar DePriest will know that he has been in a real political battle. The latter has been of some force out of Congress but of little consequence to our people of the country in Congress. And, too, he has made considerable money making speeches to our people, throughout the country, oft-times when he should have been in his seat in Congress endeavoring to put thru some constructive measures of vital interest to the race. DARROW REFUSED TO SERVE We are not at all surprised at Clarence Darrow's refusal to enter the Scottsboro, Ala. victims' case at the behest of the N. A. A. C. P. This organization's course in that matter is open to a great deal of criticism. Starting, after the International Labor Defense, N. Y. City, had taken up the case of our eight or nine boys imprisoned under sentence of death, the N. A. A. C. P. sought to enter and dominate the case. This the I. L. D. and the boy-victims objected to. A last effort to gain this commanding position in the case was the effort to draw Mr. Darrow into the defense. The great lawyer and friend of the race, according to the I. L. D., has refused to accept the call owing to his age and impaired health. Again the N. A. A. C. P. is "left outside the breast-works" as far as the Scottsboro case defense is concerned. Col. Geo. W. Chamlee of Chattanooga, Teen., chief counsel in the case, would welcome the assistance of Mr. Darrow and so announces. There is no question but what the acquisition of the great criminal lawyer would greatly strengthen the defense and possibly it is to be regretted that Mr. Darrow finds it impossible to enter and assist Col. Chamlee. Dropped Dead While Speaking. Cincinnati, O.-Dr. J. W. Haywood, pastor of Southern Baptist church, this city, dropped dead, last week Wednesday morning, while engaged in a debate with Rev. C. W. Williams, pastor of Triedstone Baptist church, at the National Baptist Convention of America which met here. Five thousand persons paid their respects to him, Sunday, when funeral services were held. THANK YOU, GOVERNOR! Ohio Is No Place for Insulting "Talkies," or Any Other Kind of Pictures, Like "The White Renegade." 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 miscably insulting mongrel terms, "darkey" and in—were used much to the discomfort of the obviously 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 splendid citizens, as you well know, am sure that your consideration will make the diatale 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. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Columbus, O., Sept. 3rd, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith—I have your letter of Sept. 2nd, relative to the film, "The White Renegade", which came to this office in the absence of Governor White. I am referring your communication to Dr. B. O. Skinner, Director of Education, who has supervision over the Board of Censors. Thank you for calling this to our attention. Very cordially yours. Carl W. Smith, Secretary to the Governor. Cleveland, O., Sept. 8, '31. Mr. Carl W. Smith, Secretary to the Governor. Secretary to the Governor, Capitol, Columbus, O. Dear Sir:—Your letter of Sept. 31, '21, just received. Thank you for the prompt reply. May I ask you to let me know, as soon as possible, what action is taken by Dr. B. O. Skinner, state director of Censors? Or by the State Board of Censors? The answer is of such great importance to so many well-wishers of the state of Ohio that it is of great deal more consequence than one might think on first that. Thanking you for complying with this request at your earliest opportunity and with best wishes, I am Office of the Governor. Columbus, Sept. 11, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I have your letter of Sept. 9th in which you ask me to advise what action has been taken by Dr. Skinner, or the Board of Censors, in reference to the film you wrote about some time ago. I am forwarding your communication to Dr. Skinner, and will be glad to write you just as soon as I receive an expression from him. Very cordially yours. Carl W. Smith, Secretary to the Governor. Columbus, O., Sept. 18, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir:—The film, "The White Renegade" has been called in and will be reviewed within a few days. Very truly yours. B. O. Skinner, Director of Education. Thank You! Dr. Skinner. Columbus, Sept. 19, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith: This is to notify you that the picture, "The White Renegade" has been reviewed and the objectionable parts you mention eliminated. Trusting that this meets with the approval of your people, I am. Sincerely yours. B. O. Skinner, Director of Education. Office of THE GAZETTE. Cleveland, Sept. 22, '31. Dr. B. O. Skinner. Director of Education. Dear Sir:—Your letters of Sept. 18 and 19, 1931 received, and I am very pleased indeed to receive official notice of the very sane and sensible stand of the State Department of Education, over which you are apparently so ably presiding.

NO MAKE ONE MORE ROUND, HERE'S TWO GITS I DON'T WANT NO CHANGE AND MAKE IT LOUD CALLING MR. SIMPKINS. MR. RUBE SIMPKINS WELL, I GUESS THAT'S GETTING SOME ADVERTISING FOR MYSELF. FIRST TIME I EVER WAS PAGED American News Feature, Inc. Our mor-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 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 person for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence to 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 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 officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles 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 damage, 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 allike, the widow rejoices, and share. If there be no widow or minor 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 a person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162. 8.) 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 against such person 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 lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire of the police of action, in the next succeeding tax year, of county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 $.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The 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 the persons composing such moth. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a 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: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. 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 the court's negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engagements therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly in 1894. The General Code of Ohio Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the occupation, advantages, facilities or privileges that shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recoverd in the court of competent jurisdiction in the city where such o渍ase 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. HEAR! HEAR!! M ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Councilman Roy Bundy, according to last week Thursday's daily papers, was recovering from an illness of several days in his apartment at the Hotel Majestic. Current rumor had it, at that time, that he had been ill for a week or ten days with the same old trouble that precipitated his critical illness of last winter when, for several days at City Hospital, there was little hope of his recovery.

(Prepared by the National Geographic) on one's shoes or the Society, Washington, D. C.) INSTALLMENT buying has invaded Java, according to United States trade reports. The Javanese like American-made products, American exports to the island annually amount to more than $30,000,000. Picturesque, horse-drawn carts with wheels from six to seven feet in diameter now must compete with speedier American-made auto trucks; and native two-wheeled passenger carts, once the only passenger vehicles in Java cities, are being crowded off the streets by shiny, new American-made pleasure cars. The island, which is about the size and shape of Cuba, is traversed by a network of good roads and railroads. While traveling on either, the American tourist is seldom out of eyeshot of American products or products of American machinery. A traveler may engage an Italian, British, Spanish or French automobile for a tour, but a portion of the road he traverses is apt to be the product of American road-building machinery. Should a blowout occur on the highway, it is likely that one of the thousands of American-made tires that are shipped to the island annually would be as readily available as one of foreign make. And the new tire may contain some of the rubber which a short time before flowed from one of the trees on a vast rubber plantation nearby. The traveler who prefers to see the island from a train window is unaware that machinery and tools bearing familiar trade marks help to keep his train running on schedule. Rice farmers whose watery farms rise like a series of silvery lakes up the sides of Java hills, cling to antiquated wood implements, but here and there the blades of plows and harrows from American factories and waterworks in agricultural regions reveal American-made machinery. With more than 700 inhabitants to the square mile, the natives must be efficient farmers to feed the population. American fertilizer is the farmers' crop insurance, and when crops contract disease, American chemists furnish the medicine to bring them back to a healthful state. Situated but a few hundred miles below the Equator, Java is hot, but the traveler often finds his hotel room made comfortable by an American electric fan. The power that runs the fan may come from one of the many electric generators imported from America. Hotels Are Comfortable. As a rule the hotels in Java are clean and well designed to meet the needs of a tropical climate. Usually they consist of a main building openly constructed so that there is no hindrance to the slightest breeze. The service, complete in every detail, is enjoyed by foreigners. One takes his seat in a spacious pavilion and is brought soup by an army of betubaned Malays. Then large, deep plates are brought, on each of which is a supply of rice, one of the favored foods of the island. On top of the rice, two inches deep, the dinner is expected to place a variety of vegetables, curries, dried fish, eggs, fowls and meat flavored with peppery condiments. After eight of the dishes are deposited on the rice, the diner's appetite, if he is a novice, usually calls a halt and the remaining half of the sixteen varieties of rice "coverings" are allowed to pass untouched. No wonder the great majority of the resident Hollanders are inclined to corpulence when one takes a glance at the Java festive board. The streets of the larger Java cities that are often filled with American automobiles and bicycles, have their oriental bazaars where a gay array of goods ranging from cheap trinkets to fine metalware and fabrics are on sale, but there are also modern shops in which American cement machinery had a construction part. There, too, American-made flashlights, batteries, spark plugs, and other automobile accessories, are displayed under the rays of American-made electric light bulbs. Sometimes the same ships that take American products to Java return with many native products which are popular in this country. Many head colds and cases of malaria are treated with quineine extracted from the bark of the Java cinchona trees. The rubber heels on one's shoes or the tires on one's automobile may contain Java rubber. Perhaps your morning coffee and your afternoon tea originated on a Java coffee or tea plantation, while there is a bare possibility that some of the small quantity of Java sugar imported by the United States may have been used to sweeten these beverages. What Batavia Is Like. Java ranks among the richest regions of the Dutch East Indies. There are more than 30,000,000 native inhabitants with a sprinkling of Europeans and Chinese and other Asiatics. This population requires systematic cultivation of the soil. When the Dutch settled Batavia, the largest city on the island, they brought their love for the lowlands and built their city on European type, closed houses on canals which courseed a broad swampy area. But as trading men and soldiers died by the thousands from malaria and other diseases aggravated by the swamp vapors around them, the settlers eventually learned that tropical Java was not a temperate Netherlands. European Batavia, now on higher ground, is a healthy city, a great emporium of trade and the metropolis of the island, sprawling over a wide area. The old town is almost entirely given over to the Javanese, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Malays. The new city has spacious parks, made colorful by myriad flowers and the luxurant growth of the Tropics. Near one of the parks rises the imposing facade of the Museum of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences with a copper elephant, the gift of the king of Siam, in the foreground. The Batavia museum has one of the finest ethnological collections of any institution in the Far East and its publications rank well among the learned societies of Europe and America. A sail of slightly more than 30 hours from Batavia brings the traveler to Soerabaya, the most important seaport in Java. Although the busy landing stage and bustling crowds in the streets impress the traveler of the city's commercial importance, it is for the most part hot and presents few attractions. A few hours' ride from the city's back door, however, brings the traveler to Pasouroman where he may get the real flavor of Java's interior; where the dos-a-dos, Java's curious little high-wheeled covered wagons rumble over the roads behind sturdy white bullocks. Tosari a Pleasant Resort. Nearby, but reached only after hours of roughing, climbing on donkeys and afoot, is the delightful resort Tosarli A walk along the village's small street reveals the mode of life of Javanese mountaineers who are quite different from their neighbors in the lower valleys. Here are the homes of the Tenggerese, a hardy tribe which at the time of the Moslem invasion of Java retreated to the mountains and successfully defended themselves against the invaders. Tosarli is perched on a flank of the Tengger massif 4,580 feet above sea level where invigorating air makes mountain climbing much more pleasant than in the torrid regions in the Javanese foothills. Situated in the midst of the great East Indian volcano region, Java has its share of active and extinct craters. In fact the island is volcano-made. It is estimated that there are more than 100 craters on the island. Every where in Java, in the huge crater lakes, in fissures that now are river beds, even in ancient temples, half finished when interrupted by some fiery convulsion, are evidences of cataclysmic forces. The "treacherous Klot," as the natives call it, all but wiped out the town of Britar in 1919. More recently, Mount Merapi, situated at the extreme eastern tip of the island landed over and took the lives of 90 natives. A volcano is not always considered a calamity in Java. In fact most of the larger towns and cities of the island nestle around the base of active craters, although thousands of inhabitants have been lost in violent eruptions. Much of the prosperity of the island is due to the constant enclosing of its soil by material coughed from these great smokestacks, and from the medicinal value of the hot mineral springs and highland resorts along the slopes. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPT. 26. 1931 MAKE-UP PROBLEM IN FALL FASHIONS The new fall fashions, which emphasize vivid color contrasts, present a different problem in make-up. And the problem is all the more important because the new hats are so small that they leave the face entirely exposed, according to Katharan McCommon, associate editor of Harper's Bazaar. The most effective make-up for fall is the one which accents a woman's natural colors, she writes in Aromatics Magazine. Fall make-up should harmonize with eyes, skin and hair and vary somewhat with varying shades of dress, she says. "The effect of a make-up which simply accents nature is tremendously effective without being at all blunt," she writes. "If bright shades take the color out of the face, which they undeniably do, the answer is to augment with a rouge that will most nearly simulate your own natural color. If you stick to the colors that are becoming to your type this rule may be easily followed." Marquisette Being Used Now for Milady's Blouse Marquette is being utilized by blouse makers now as well as by cur- tain makers. Short-sleeved blouses with rows and rows of ruffled lace or net making the neckline and cuff are being shown in the shops where best styles are exhibited. Tucked nets are popular and so are the batisties, but more marquette than any other kind are promised. Reversible leather coats are a new and practical novelty for travelers. The new coats are made of soft, pliable lambskin lined with checkered wool. The cloth side of the coat is piped in leather along the collar and cuffs. Blue and white, dark red and ivory, brown and helge are the smartest combinations. Felts Plus Feath Felts Plus Feathers for Fall Wear By CHERIE NICHOLAS I WidO would have believed that in this day and age of ultra modernism hats should dare to go romantic, beplumed and audaciously picturesque. But they have! What's more, the new chapeau, which are so frankly mid-Victorian and a la Empress Eugenie, bid fair to set the pace for fashions in general in that advance costume displays are reflecting a Second Empire influence both as to silhouette and the many little details which go to make up the unified ensemble. Not that there is any danger of this matter of period influence being overplayed, no, indeed, not with the wise-mindedness which exists among contemporary creators of fashion. What's really happening is that the bertha, the bustle (via graceful draping toward the back) and the higher waistline are serving as inspiration for an artful and subtle interpretation on the part of present-day designers. An interesting situation in regard to the new hat fashion is that instead of women showing a reluctance to accept them, as one might suppose, seeing that they are so radically different from anything styled for years and years, they are welcoming them with greatest enthusiasm. Of course, after one tries in several of the peekly little tip-tilted shapes with their decorative feathers it is easy to discover the wherefore of their popularity, for they are decidedly flattering, as a rule. The initial chapter in the story of millinery for fall and winter is being told for the most part in terms of felts and feathers with a promising future in store for velvet to wear with Latest Leather Coats 1 Elaborate materials will be noted when the first sign of spring bring out the latest products of costume designers. In the picture beige lame is used as a background for the beautiful sable furs. A brown hat and brown shoes are worn. White Raincoats Catch Fancy of Fashionable White raincoats have captured the fancy of the fashionable. Coats and capes of various materials in snowy white are effective in the rain, from both a practical and a fashionable point of view. White cravenette and white waterproofed silk, shiny white rubber materials are considered smart. Long white capes of military flavor, some with plings and buttons of black, are a comfortable rainy day accessory for the woman who does her shopping by motor, as it is easy to slip in and out of for the short trips from the car to the door of the market. Hers for Fall Wear THE FILMOGRAPHY & COMMENTARY dressy afternoon costume. It is the ribbon-bound felt derby with a bright little feather which as a "first" hat is in the lead for sports and practical wear about town. The model pictured at the top of this group to the left is a good reason why this type of hat is qualifying so successfully. Note its pose—tilted over the right eye and showing the hair at the opposite side. It is a brown felt with motif of taupe and brown pasted feathers. Another derby to the right at the top of the picture bespeaks "what's what." This one is a green velour, for green is competing with brown for fall. Do not let the 'glorified ostrich plume which trims it takes you by surprise, for so is it written in the book of fashion for fall and winter—felt trimmed with ostrich in a picturesque manner. The hat below to the left is a black felt. If the camera were to register the other side it would reveal a wavy collure arranged to the "queen's taste". The rich plumage is black shading to white for the flat pasted ostrich encircling the crown with pure white for the drooping feather. One of the very latest Parisian fashions is the soft felt which concludes this group. The black ostrich which trims it accents the picturesque. py of The maintenance wh "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" 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 Statement to Him—Other Failures of "The Triplets", Etc. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati, O. Dare Conferrate:—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 herewith compiled with: Dudley S. Blossom (write), 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, because the race of people in this city was accorded the rights or privileges mentioned in the foregoing sentence. M. C. H. 469 Lawrence O. Payne. 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 the director's ousting as well as that of the then City Manager Wm. Gibbons to "trust 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 Hopkins and Blossom." They were elected on the pledge and early in last year, soon after the ousting of Hopkins, they 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 absolutely 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 prejudices against the balance of power in Cleveland City and 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 forced to work 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 team, I would 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 iridance to "The Blossom Triplets." The editor of "The Union" will recall that it took more than three Report of Investigators Questions Motives of Audubon Society Critics 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" and a fight led by the late 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.

Scientists Characterize Critics of Wild Life Organization as "Self-Appointed" Group NEW YORK—Critics of the policies of the National Association of Audubon Societies, and of Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, President of that organization, are denounced as "a small, self-appointed group representing nothing but certain personal interests," in a report based upon nearly a year of investigation, just made public by Dr. Thomas Barbour, Director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, and Chancey J. Hamlin, President of the Buffalo Museum of Science. Although unable to serve on the Committee, because of press of official duties, Dr. Alexander Grant Ruthen, President of the University of Michigan, states that "I am entirely out of sympathy with the attacks being made on the National Association of Audubon Societies." Charges that the National Association had indulged in practices foreign to the purpose for which it was formed were made more than a year ago in two pamphlets widely circulated by an anonymous "Emergency Conservation Committee," and at the annual meeting of the Association in October, 1930, United States Senator Frederic C. Wailcott, of Connecticut, as a member, suggested that a committee examine into the charges and undertake such other investigations of the Association as it saw fit. One of the pamphlets containing charges against Dr. Pearson and the Association was captioned, "A Crisis in Conservation," and was signed by two employees of the American Museum of Natural History and a third person described by the Committee as one "completely unknown to fame" who when he visited the Association's headquarters "appeared under an assumed name and gave a false address." A statement from George H. Sherwood, Director of the American Museum of Natural History, is quoted to the effect that Museum officials had not known that two of its employees were preparing such a pamphlet, which Mr. Sherwood devises with the statement that "The Museum is, therefore, of the opinion that the alleged Crisis in Conservation' exists largely in the minds of the authors of this pamphlet." Commenting upon this phase of the charges, Dr. Barbour and Mr. Hamlin observe that "it does not seem worthwhile to go into the various details which show that this Chic Autumn Frock 1 BY EMMA LOU FETTA IN Paris they call little bits of light colored cotton or linen decorations on a dress, "lingerie touches." The frock illustrated is a very pleasing example. It has been designed for late summer—when it may still be worn with a straw hat and white shoes—and for early fall when one would tone accessories, such as shoes and hat, to the darker shade of the dress instead of emphasizing the "lingerie touches." This charming little dress so gracefully worn by the very charming young woman who consented to pose for us, is made of an exceptionally lovely kind of heavy durene cotton mesh. Perhaps you won't be able to see in the illustration but this mesh has a special diagonal treatment to which the diagonal maker has added in her harness diagonal line at the neck and hips. What a charming dress for the prep-school or college girl and how nice to have a frock like this for 'formal' country wear and to do when you go to town with one of those contrasting little jackets that are so contrasting and convenient. ```markdown ``` Attention!

GILBERT PEARSON committee—so-called—is simply a small, self-appointed group representing nothing but personal interests; and there is little point in attempting to analyze the motives of the persons hostile to the Association who have used this method of attack." To the charge that Dr. Pearson had cooperated with "the killers," the Committee finds that most of the material presented "is familiar to everyone who has dealt with the activities of the zoophile cults, the zoophile being one whose arguments 'are always based on sentiment rather than reason,' who believes that if a forest is to be preserved no tree should ever be cut down and who thinks that no species would be killed animal can be protected if any individual of the species is ever killed." The report of the Committee, after sitting all charges made by the "Emergency Conservation Committee," concludes: "We believe that the Association has served a most creditable purpose. We believe that it has accomplished great ends—and that the funds entrusted to it have been well expended. When people join its membership but a few days before an annual meeting—some who have wilified it for years and are simply activated by a desire to stir up strife, to attack the good name of its officers, and to bobble its adequacy—one can understand how such an association may well wish to be examined impartially and also to engage in self-examination. After a full investigation we feel that the Society may be proud of a great record."
