Columbus, O.—A three-year program designed to place before the Ohio Legislature a bill to prohibit racial inter-marriage was adopted by the Ohio Ku Klux Klan meeting here. Sunday, September 14, of this program, which will include the circulation of petitions, will be followed by a campaign to segregate public school children by races, said J. A. Colescott, Terre Haute, Ind., grand dragon of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, who attended the meeting. Colescott said the Klan had reached the point "where we believe it necessary also to step into the situation" of alleged Communistic activities in Cleveland and Barberton. He also commented on the recent removal of Prof. Herbert A. Miller by Ohio State University trustees, critiquing bitterly his views as to the races. The meeting was held in South Hill School where the klansmen paraded in full regalia. NATIONAL BENEFIT Life Insurance Company Receiver Has Been Appointed—The Company May Be Saved. Washington, D.

NEWSOME Our Only Representative Among the Women Clerks, at the City Hall Herewith is given an excellent portrait of Miss Chrystal Z. Newsome who was appointed a clerk in the street department of the city, in May 1928. She stood high in the civil service test given eight hundred applicants in March of that year and was highly recommended to Street Commissioner John Tomsen by the editor of The Gazette by that time. Her former employer was Bellows O., where she finished high school in 1925. Before entering Ohio State University, she filed an application to take a civil service examination for a clerkship in this city. Miss Newsome, who was well liked by all the employees in her department, has been advised by her physician to take a long and complete rest on account of her health. It is earnestly hoped that she will improve rapidly. Street Commissioner Conrad W. Dombey testifies to her exceptional efficiency as a clerk and her popularity with her associates in her department. OUR YEAR BOOK. An Annual Encyclopedia of the "Xeg- no" Now in Its Eighth Edition The eighth edition of "The Negro Year Book," when compared with former editions, shows a distinct change in content and arrangement of matter. All information on a particular subject is assembled in one section. Practically all of the materials are new. It is a handbook which informs and but thorough-growing form the information desired. It provides a comprehensive and important view of the events affecting our people and the progress we are making throughout the world. "The Negro Year Book" continues to be the standard work of reference on all matters relating to the race. It is the most extensively used compendium of information on the "Negro" and its circulation extends to every country in the United States, to Canada, the West Indies, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. This edition, as was true of the previous one, is in a form suitable to the needs of both the general reader and the student.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OLD AGE AND ILLNESS GIVEN AS REASONS FOR HIS REFUSAL TO ASSIST IN THE DEFENSE OF OUR EIGHT INNOCENT BOYS. Railroaded to the Electric Chair by Prejudiced Southerners—Col. Geo. W. Chamlee, Chief Defense Counsel, Exposes the N. A. A. C. P. (Special to The Gazette.) New York City.—The International Labor Defense, in a statement issued by J. L. Dawson dahl, its general-secretary, spiked the report that Clarence Darrow of Chicago, the great criminal lawyer, is to enter the Scottsboro case for the N. A. A. C. P., by issuing the following letter from Mr. Darrow received in June in response to a letter from the first being made in April preceding that he enter the Scottsboro case: Mr. Darrow's Letter "My Dear Engdahl: Your letter in reference to the Kentucky cases is at hand. I retired from practice, two years ago, on account of age and condition of health. My next birthday will be the 75th. I could not stand the work and strain of a hard fought battle. I regret it very much when something of this sort comes on but I can't possibly do it. Col. Chamlee's Statement. Chattanooga, Teen. — H. reports and correct that Mr. Clarence Darrow case. I welcome the fact. The end. 1910 [Image of a man in a suit sitting in a desk with papers and books in the background]. COL. GEORGE W. CHAMLEE. trance of Mr. Darrow and the increasing support this case is receiving on the part of many prominent people shows that the fight in behalf of the Scottsboro boys put up by the International Labor Defense and the publicity connected therewith has aroused the attention and support of wide sections of the working class. In the early part of the case Mr. Darrow was approached by the International Labor Defense, but at that time did not seem to realize the importance of the case. While I welcome his entrance into the case at this time, particularly because of his high standing in the legal profession as a result of his defense of a long series of working class and civil liberties cases, still I must point out that his connection with the case through the N. A. A. P. was so great that I am tempted on the part of those in charge of the N. A. A. C. P. to keep up their own criminal sabotage of this case to date. As chief counsel in this case I have had considerable experience with the manouvers of the N. A. A. C. P. to utilize this case for their own ends, to the detriment of the defendants. The N. A. A. C. P. worked with the Ministers Alliance which employed Mr. Stephen H. C. P. who charged by the boys and their parents with the interests of the defendants by urging them to plead guilty to this atrocious frame-up and by putting up no defense for them in court. Press reports stated the N. A. A. C. P. employed Mr. Beddow, who filed formal notice of his withdrawal from the case, after Mr. Walter White had informed parents that Mr. Beddow was in their employ and had been persuaded to remain. In connection with the employment of these lawyers the N. A. C. P. employed letters to parents and relatives of the imprisoned boys to induce them to take the case out of the hands of the International Labor Defense and --- 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 NEWBEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS CASE! AND ILLNESS FOR HIS REFUSAL TO ASSIST NSE OF OUR EIGHT ENT BOYS. Cic Chair by Prejudiced South- V. Chamlee, Chief Defense uses the N. A. A. C. P. myself as chief counsel, an act which, if consummated, would have left them without any adequate defense. This series of acts, combined with other reprehensible actions on the part of the N. A. A. would complete the identification them with the defendants and their parents. All the parents and next of kin of the boys, all of whom are minors, have signed contracts employing me in these cases, and that they had employed no one else and would not do so without my consent. The boys say that Mr. Walter White and the representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. visited the firm company with various lawyers trying to induce and terrorize them in order to get them to sign statements that the N. A. A. C. P. had some connection with the cases. Under this pressure applied to the boys in the shadow of the electric chair, press reports quote Mr. Walter White as saying that some of the boys signed for him. Since that time the boys have failed and written to Mr. White and the L. P. keep Mr. White, White and the N. A. A. C. P. away from them. Mr. White did all these things after I had in- THE LEGAL SYSTEM formed him of my contract with the parents and the boys in writing. Now at this stage these discredited elements of the N. A. A. C. P. try again to play a role in this world-famous trial by hiding behind the name and prestige of Mr. Darrow. Geo W. Chamlee. ASSIGN A. M. E.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1931. The appointment of a receiver for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, possibly our largest business enterprise, is a natural outcome of the sad condition of the affairs of that organization. However, the announcement, that insurance experts believe "the company can be saved", is encouraging. We sincerely hope it will be. --- We felicitate our conferee, Alderman Fred R. Moore; Legislator Francis E. Rivers and Nineteenth Assembly District Leader Chas. W. Fillmore (an old Ohio boy) of N. Y. City on their renominations and reelection, respectively. All three have represented their constituents well and ably during the past two years and are bound to do better in the coming two years as a result of the experience they have gained while in office. OHIO K. K. K. PROGRAM At the time of the dismissal of Prof. Herbert A. Miller from the faculty of Ohio State University by its president and board of trustees, The Gazette stated its belief that the Ku Klux Klan of Ohio was underneath that despicable action, and now all can see that we were right. This was the only newspaper in or out of Ohio to publish this fact, too. At a meeting, Sunday, in a Columbus public school, the K. K. K. "program" for the next "three years" was decided upon, and given to the public, Monday, thru the press of Ohio and the country. It will be found elsewhere in this paper. The Kluxers are to go before the public and the Ohio Legislature in an effort to secure legislation against intermarriage, for separate or "jim-chow" schools and against "Communistic activities," particularly those that favor the equality of treatment of all races or groups, particularly ours. This is notice to our people of Ohio that they must begin now to effect an organization of our best men and women of the state to give the K. K. K. hybrids of "Ohio, Indiana and Michigan" a battle they will never forget. It will not do for us to minimize the importance of their public notice, for the very good reason that it is impossible for us to overestimate the strength and power of prejudice outside of the infernal organization which will line up with the Kluxes in the forthcoming battle. It is just as true, today, as it has been for a thousand or more years that eternal vigilance (with proper activity) is the price of liberty and it behoves our people of the state to become active immediately as a result of this latest announcement of the Klan. To that end, The Gazette suggests a state meeting at Columbus at an early date. We shall be glad to hear from our local and other leaders throut Ohio at once. Let us "step into the situation" without unnecessary delay and in a thoroughly organized and intelligently aggressive way. We can beat them to it, if we will. --- DID LEVIDO OUTRAGE HER? Ethel Taylor, age 13, of 3116 Avenue. was shot to death. Tuesday night, in the room of Sam Levido (white), age 24, over his printing shop at 3603 Croton Ave. this city, where she had gone to get tablet paper. Levido, in a confession, claimed he killed the girl accidentally, after she had repelled his advances, when he pulled his pistol from a drawer to frighten her into acceding to his demands. The bullet struck the child in the mouth. He wrapped her body in a blanket and carried it down stairs. Then he called the police, telling them there had been a suicide in his place; that the girl had shot herself accidentally. The condition of the child's clothing, however, led the police to suspect a struggle had preceded the killing. Levido was charged with murder. Wednesday. This is a case that some, if not all, of our civic organizations ought to keep in close touch with and see that justice is had. There should be an examination of the girl at once to determine whether or not Levido assaulted her before the killing. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Dr. Armen Evans, a baby specialist, is a city employee, drawing about $1200 a year, it seems. That undoubtedly explains his support of "The Blossom Triplets." He sure must feel very lonesome. It is said that a Davis Carey (of Chicago) worked for two weeks at the garbage plant, recently, and was not even a citizen of Cleveland. It is also said that he was placed there by Councilman Roy Bundy who may have been trying to keep up with Councilman Payne whose best appointment was given to Harvey Atkins, a resident of the 18th ward, Councilman George's habitat. Of course, Payne's constituents who live in his home ward, the 11th, felt and feel this slight greatly because so many of them needed the job and still greatly need work. "The Blossom Triplets" are sure in for a trimming on election day in November, Atty, Louise Pridgeon, our leading candidate for the City Council in the fourth district, held another large and enthusiastic mass meeting in her headquarters, cor. E. 833 and Cedar' Ave., Tuesday evening which was addressed by Mr. Carroll Scott and others. Mr. Scott simply "politically skinned" Councilman George, much to the delight of the large audience. He called attention to the many people were appointed several months ago and not one of them a member of the race, saying that this more than anything else showed the impotency of "The Blossom Triplets." George Payne and Bundy, as members of Cleveland's City Council. The Board of Elections, on the claim of a lack of sufficient signatures to their petitions ruled out the candidacies of Arthur C. Clark, Dr. V. O. Beck, Dr. Jas. E Owen and Dr Edw. A. Bailey of the third councilmanic district; J. B. Simmons Jr. in the fourth district and others. Mrs Louise Pridgeon says the board was in a fair way to treat her in a like manner until she filed petitions with 500 additional signatures, Sept. 23 the day before the books were closed. Atty Pridgeon vehemently denies that she has any connection to the effect that she was fighting the local Republican organization or Mr. Maschke, its leader, and that she has any connection whatever with former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins or his supporters. She claims that she is opposing Councilman George and no one else. Mrs. Pridgeon looks like our winner in the fourth district. Councilman L. O. Payne's opening meeting of his campaign, for re-election, at Mt. Zion Cong. church, last week Friday evening, was sure one "frost", hardly 200 people in the large church auditorium, half of whom left after his speech which was anything but a good one, largely because of some very ridiculous claims he made. The most glaring was his statement that the local Republican leader "Bundy Triplets" George and Bundy), had opened the City Hospital to our young men and women who wish to train there, thus claiming credit that belongs to The Gazette which led the three-year fight to so open that institution. Dr. Childress, Bundy's campaign manager, said that the latter was absent from the meeting because of "rheumatism". When Mr. Maurice Maschke, leader of the local Republican organization, arrived to speak, there were hardies, 100 houses and a bright sight. Rev. Crable pastor of Mt. Haven Baptist church the "keynoter" of the political "frost", was not interesting. Councilman George also spoke. TELEPHONE USAGE GOVERNS SERVICE TELEPHONE USAGE GOVERNS SERVICE The telephone must be properly used in order to get the most satisfactory service out of it, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Everything that you say usually will be heard clearly by your listener if you speak distinctly into the transmitter in a natural tone with your lips directly in front of the mouthpiece,—close to, but not against it. When you have finished talking, replace the receiver gently upon the hook. If the receiver is slammed down, the person with whom you were talking receives a loud and unpleasant sound in the ear. It is very important that you give the operator distinctly the number of the party you are calling. It is just as important that you make sure that the number is correct, usually by consulting the directory before making the call.

A detective who is a friend of mine who I give an Oakley game to now and then takes me out to a swell game joint the other night which is to be raided. Well she is in and hung around because there was plenty of sport and I think the Dick is a sport and I get acquainted with a girl named May who was lit up so she could be used for a night guide to aviators. So when the cops busted in with their guns, she runs up to one and says "Shoot me in the heart, officer." And he gives her a brow and says, "Get back there in the corner. You ain't too better than the rest." Your friend 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. just member of mob just 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 municipal 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 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 or Ohio: Sec. 12.940 Whoever being the proprietor or his or her employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, building house, barbershop, 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities, and benefits of what shall be fined not less than fifty dollars more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12.941 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 recovered in compliance with apparent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law was repeatedly 'seen 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. India and the U. S. Editor, Cleveland Daily News:— In his article of Sept. 15, Mr. Brisbane writes: "A queer creature is Gandhi." Is it because he is evading blood-shed that makes him queer? Why is it India has not been a free nation thus 5,000 years? As for burying the dead in India, let us look down in the back yard, "Dixie," and see the so-called superior race in the act of lynching helpless men. Mr. Gandhi, you continue to lift up your voice and put these Christian nations to shame. A READER. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and must serve the law, in legal disputes.

They are pure cotton every thread and every fabric, but they have added quality of being perfectly mercerized, or durenized as the initiate now say, since the entire industry has adopted this name as an identification for people who aren't textile experts and don't, therefore, know quality when they Illustrated is a gown which was shown at the Mississippi State Federation of Women's Clubs convention at Gulfport.

RUBE GOLDBERG BUT I MUST ADMIRE MY GARTER'S JUST LIKE THE MAN Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It Thrilling Spectacle of a Full-Rigged Ship at Sea. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) The lowly but romantic tramp steamer, whose rusty iron sides and smoky stacks are known to every seaport in the world, has largely joined the sailing ship at anchor. Whereas but a third of the world's tonnage was carried in regularly scheduled liners in 1913, now more than three-quarters is transported in this fashion, leaving very little for the independent roving steamer or sailing ship. Canadian grain once crossed in tramp steamers. Now a half-dozen regular lines ply the North Atlantic. Norwegian timber and Pacific coast timber, even, are moved on big liners following a schedule. Changing economic and social conditions are last vestiges of the pioneer spirit of the seamen of another day. The seamen themselves are different. They want steady work and fixed wages, and they like to ship on steamers with a regular schedule, allowing them to make plans in port. Out-of-the-way parts of the world are again becoming the lonely, isolated spots they were before the days of the great explorers or the era of sailing clippers. The number of ships that round Cape Horn, for instance, now is few and become steadily fewer. Steamers have no need to go that way. If they are coming from Australia to Europe, Suez and Good Hope are shorter and kinder routes. If they are bound from or to New Zealand, there is Panama. If they are outward or homeward bound in the West coast trade, Panama canal, too, is much more convenient, even for the far southern port of Valparaiso. In the unusual event of a steamer passing to the south of the American continent—say, on passage from Buenos Aires to Talcahuana—nine times out of ten she will use the Magellan passage, or, failing that (for visibility is often bad there and currents treacherous), she will pass between Tierra del Fuego and the small island the southern tip of which is the dreaded Horn. Some Sailing Ships Round the Horn. Even sailing ships avoid Cape Horn now, when they can. It is a regular thing for the guano barks, coming up from Guanape, Lobos, and Santa Rosa for Jacksonville, Wilmington, or Falmouth for orders, to pass through the canal instead of using the old highway to the south and doubling the Horn. Indeed, in the grain race of 1930 one sailor from Australia, the Swedish four-masted bark C. B. Pedersen, actually made her way into the Atlantic by way of Panama instead of the Horn—an entirely unprecedented experience that would make a thousand old shellbacks turn in their graves. But there still remains a small coterie of wind ships regularly using the Cape Horn road. There are the German nitrate carriers, the big fourmasters of the Hamburg Laeisz line—Padua, Passat, Passar, Primawil, Pamir, and Peking—all splendid, upstanding, four-masted barks, powerful, cleanlined, speedy, and economical. They remain in commission to carry nitrate from German mines in Chile to German factories on the Elbe. They are manned largely by boys who must see service in deep-water, square-rigged ships before their country will allow them to sit for examination as officers. They are well found and make good voyages; some of them are comparatively new ships. Two have been built since the World war; one of them, the Padua, as late as 1925. They carry no auxiliary engines of any kind. One of them, the full-rigged ship Pinnas, was lost in 1929. These Germans, with the sailors of the Finnish fleet and one or two Swedes, just about comprise the whole of the world's sea-growing, square-rigged ships. America still has one or two but, except for the four-masted Monongabela, which was in Port Adelaide in January, 1928, where she discharged a cargo of lumber, and the full-rigged ship Tustala, which is a more or less regular user of the Panama canal, none is still in commission. How the Sailor Gets Cargoes. The majority of the square-riggers still rounding the Horn are in the grain trade from Australia. This is the last happy hunting ground of the big sailing ship, which has been steadily ousted from every other trade it ever enjoyed, even the carrying of Peruvian guano. When Australian wheat harvests are heavy and steamers are inclined to ask high freights because of the difficulty of getting outward cargoes, the sailor still has a chance of sneaking an odd cargo here and there. She is prepared to accept a much lower rate of freight than the steamer. She will go to any outlandish port and register no objections to spending six weeks or more at loading. She will discharge her own ballast at her own expense. She does not mind sailing halfway round the world in ballast if only there is the chance of a cargo at the end of it, and she carries her wheat well and delivers it in good condition. She has the added advantage, sometimes, of bringing something of a gamble to her charterers. She may load on a falling market and set out with her wheat worth shillings below a payable price. She takes months on her voyage, providing good free warehousing on the way, and sometimes has the luck to arrive in time to take advantage of an upward trend of which there was no sign when she left. For this reason shippers still like to take an odd gamble with a sailing ship, particularly in recent seasons, when wheat prices have been so dull that the grower's main hope lies in some unforeseen upward trend when "bottom has been touched." The Swedish four-masted bark Beatrice in 1930 was chartered to bring home wool from Melbourne to London—a trade which throughout this century has been religiously the exclusive right of the steamer—simply because she provided long warehousing by the duration of her voyage, and there was a chance that prices would rise while she was on her way. She was 110 days on the passage, and her charterers had the satisfaction of clearing better prices for the wool they sent in her than they obtained for any they had sent in steamers. The steamers had discharged their wool on a falling market months earlier; the Beatrice arrived to find stocks lower and prices slightly higher. As her freight rate was lower than the steamer's, her chartering was profitable to the wool owners. But against the lower freight rate has to be offset the tendency on the part of underwriters—natural, perhaps—to charge a higher premium for the insurance of sailing ships' cargoes. "Races" That Are Not Races. Since the World war, a few sailing ships have been able annually to obtain wheat charters from Australia to the English channel for orders. Since they all leave about the same time, and since their scarcity brings them to the notice of the press and of the public, their sailings have come to be known as "races," though they are not really anything of the kind. Some of those ships are in no fit condition to race; some of them never were. They are not proud clipper ships, built to run fleetly before the gale and to carry steegeway through dolrum calms. They are great cargo-carrying steel wagons, wall-sided and heavy lined, with bluff bows and heavy sterns, overspersed and undermanned. They make rare visits to dry docks, since dry-docking costs money and must be a luxury to them. They run upon the border line, with crews of inexperienced boys; their gear is old; sometimes their plates leak a little, here and there, and they are badly off for sails. There are still a few ships which are able to give good accounts of themselves, and generally do—the Finnish four-masted bark Herzogin Cecile, which was formerly a Norddeutscher Lloyd training ship; the Swedish fourmasted bark Beatrice, formerly the Clydesider Routenburn; the ex-Englishman Archibald Russell, and the old Dundee-built Lawhill—but the bulk of the ships progress slowly over great waters and are content if they come to port at all, without racing. They are more concerned with the safe delivery of their cargoes and the return to their homes of all those who set out to sea in them than spectacular and thrilling holding on of sail in heavy gales and forcing the ship in short tacks against head winds. They sail leisurely, and would not run more than nine knots if a gale blew right behind them on a sea of perfect calm, if such a thing were possible. They steer badly and their great back-breaking sails and yards are extremely difficult to handle in anything of a breeze. They accept their wheat gratefully and are glad of any cargoes. They spend months, and even years, sailing round the seven seas in ballast, hunting for charters they rarely get. If ever they chance upon a charter, they are not fools enough to throw away good money on blown out sails. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1931. The jewel-like beauty of turquoise blue ocean pearl sequins which band the shoulder straps and outline the deep decolletage lends brilliance to this sophisticated evening gown of shell-pink celanese satin. Some of the New Ideas in Chic Hats for Fall On distinctly new lines is the small hat with a curving feather like a crescent moon. Not all the new brimmed hats have ostrich. A new one in rust colored felt is trimmed at the side with a roll of green velvet set under the side brim as a feather might be. A black felt has a large black satin ribbon bow in the back, under a brim that encircles a very shallow crown. Still more ribbon appears, this time in pink velvet for a black felt model that sports a rather wide brim flop ping down in front and up at sides from a crown almost too slight and small to talk about. The way the velvet ribbon is used deserves a word, its sedate twin knot perched in front and Wateau shepherdess bow behind. Buttons Trim Co Buttons Trim College Girl Frocks By CHERIE NICHOLAS BY CHEERIE NICHOLAS 1930s BUTTONS, buttons, trim your frocks, your blouses, your suits, your coats and your pajama costumes with buttons, such is the message which fashion is fairly shouting in the ears of young moderns who attend college this fall. An ideal decoration for smart campus clothes is the new buttons, whether there be rows and rows of them, or perhaps a single huge button placed with a view of "showing off" to the best advantage. The nifty jersey frocks, which are so decidedly "it" for the college girl this fall, make a perfect background for the now-so-chic button trimmings. In order that you may be made wise as to the effectiveness of the new button treatments your attention is called to the stunning costume of brown wool jersey shown to the right in this picture. Here rows and rows of beige ocean pearl buttons travel up and down the defily-seamed sections of the tunic, on the sleeves also, in fact, wherever there is the slightest excuse for their appearance either on bodice or skirt there do these ornamental buttons hold forth. Color adds greatly to the lure of the clever button trims which are such a definite style feature this season. The y Your Copy l or an Acq SILKS,WOOLS AND VELVETS IN FAVOR Velvets, silks and wools lead the parade of fall and winter fabrics, according to Kathleen Howard, New York fashion editor of Harper's Bazer. Many new weaves and colors are available in these fabrics, she writes. "Velvets are to be an outstanding fabric for the fall and winter mode," she says. "They are apparent in a variety of weaves. "Evening dresses, evening wraps, afternoon dresses, cinema dresses are all seen in this luxurious fabric, so suitable to the romantic mode. "Flat crepes, in flower and fruit shades and in pastels, are greatly in demand. Lames are important. Satin is paramount. Stiffer silks, such as faille and brocades are represented in the collections. Novelties in plaid effects, heavy-padded crepes, square alpaca-like weaves and facone surfaces are offered. "A woolen season is strongly indicated. In coatings the newest surfaces are rough for daytime wear, changing for warm or broadcloth for more formal coats." New Glove Buttons Up Back Instead of Under A new glove buttons up the back of the hand instead of the under side. It is a gauntlet, but the buttons begin diagonally at the little finger and cross the hand above the wrist. A contrast in color is made by the buttons and the outline around the buttonholes, and occasionally by means of contrasting stitching done by hand around the fingers. On some a cuff turns back, showing a bright lining in combination with white or beige or a lighter shade of whatever the lining is showing. Ostrich Puts You in And the ostrich is back. Oh, very much so. Not only on fans, but also on the everyday afternoon hat. Yes, am'am, two little ostrich plumes over the right ear on a close-fitting hat not only lend softness to the face but put you in the forefront of fashion. What's more, an ostrich muff has been known to be carried, uselessly but pretty, to evening functions. NICHOLAS four immense ocean pearl buttons which pose two on one side and two on the other at the bipline of the swanky blouse which the style-wise coed, standing to the left in the picture, is wearing, are a handsome green matching the silk which they trim. The suit itself is fashioned of one of the numerous rough textured loose-woven woolens which are so correct for the fall or winter costume. The deep sea-green of this material contrasts handsomely with the brown fur which collars it. It is really very exciting, the button game as fashion is now playing it. Per example, picture, if you will, a modish black silk afternoon dress with a diagonal bodice closing, which is traversed with six large white ocean pearl buttons through with a cording made of bright red fabric. Paris is not only showing an interest in buttons, but buckles and other pearl trimmings are likewise regarded with favor. This vogue is even reflected in the millinery realm where one sees here a directoire but trimmed with a single large pearl buckle, or there a felt shape with a tab buttoned over the brim to give it a one-side share as the season demands. py of The uaintance w "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND NOW MUST PAY! Tho' Grandma Married in a Traveling Suit Lovely Lace Replicas May Still Be Worn Cleveland, O. Aug. 19, '31. Wendell Phillips, Dabney. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati, I. Dear Conferee:—Your request for a short article on "The Blossom Triplets," Cleveland's Afro-American councilmen, Atty. Clayborne George, Atty. Lawrence O. Payne and Dr. Leroy N.

The climax of the fete was the creamy satin and modern durene lace, putting down the improvised aisle putting the guests to much guessing as to the antiquity of her lace adornments. As a matter of fact, they were not priceless heir- ships. A lovely wedding make- ing. And American-made at thatt the creators of the Newport bride's gown—Jay Thorpe —said they had no other solution than durene lace for the helploob problem if great-grandmother had been thought of enough to be married in a travelled suit. Even when the bride of today has family laces for her wedding gown the problem of having "just enough" frequently arises. But debutants need no longer tremble over this heartbreaking possibility. The once humble cotton plant—however but only recently thought to be precious as well as practical, is the answer. American designers have discovered that by means of durening—or perfectly processing—fine cotton, exquisite heirloom lace reproductions are possible. These laces are at once soft, mellow, perfect in texture, touch, and the beauty of old designs and color. Needless to say these modern laces of durene are not prohibitive in cost, either. The availability of American grown cotton and the genius of science have coupled to assure that. The bride of today may have an entire bodice, panels, and great flowing flounce of precious modern lace without recourse either to the often illusive treasure chests of her antecedents, or an important segment of her father's bank account. Newport loved this first of the fall season's bridal gown. Its appearance caused a great flair. Contrary to popular impression the autumn is a very popular season for nuptial occasions. October is as popular with fashionable brides ity, took his motherless grand-daughter, a graduate of our local public schools, to said Blossom in an effort to secure her admission to the nurse's training school at the City hospital, he was curtly and coarsely told by Director Blossom that "No Negro boy or girl would be allowed to train in the City hospital as long as he was director of public safety." Two years ago this fall when we were struggling to elect Messrs. George, Payne and Bundy, Dr. Bailey, night after night from the public rostrums of the third and fourth districts, openly repeated the insulting Blossom statement and demanded the director's ousting as well as that of the then City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. The writer. The Blossom Triplets and all other speakers told the third and fourth councilmanic districts made the same demand. Payne and Bundy reside in the third district and George in the fourth district. They pledged their constituents, night after night during the campaign, to do all in their power to build Hopkins and Blossom." They were elected on that pledge and early in last year, soon after the ousting of Hopkins, broke their pledge and acquiesced in the reappointment of Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom, amazing, astonishing and good even a 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 the past, we have voted against our 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 vote. We have also felt 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.

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 guidance 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 led by "The Gatekeeper" 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. Yours for the race Harry C. Smith Editor, "The Garette" This Wasn't On Program "Great gosh! There's music in this darn line." Radio listeners in Texas and nearby states were startled at these words during a program over the NBC network. No less startled was the Texas telephone lineman who tapped the line out on the plains with the intention of communicating with the home office and heard the music. His ejaculation to his foreman on the ground was broadcast along with the music. The first telephone conversation from a ship at sea to Piqua, O., was held between William Boal Wood, abroad the S. S. Mauretania in mid-Atlantic, and his mother, Mrs. W. W. Wood.
