KNOCKING—a slang expression generally meaning something said that is derogatory, an adverse criticism, or a reflection upon a person's ability, character or reputation.
The real meaning of knocking is something said reflecting upon a person that is untrue.
When the truth is told, it is not knocking! That difference everyone should learn.
the crook, the confidence man, the grafter, the villain, depends for success upon the silence of those who know him or those victimized. Under the mistaken idea that it is dishonorable to "knock" anybody, those who could expose the crook fail to do so. In consequence, many people fall victims before the law steps in or the scoundrel leaves for another city to continue the dirty work. It is the duty of every honest person to advertise such hypocrites. Negroes are the greatest victims. They are beaten out of money through loans, misrepresentation or stock transactions, then under the mistaken idea of loyalty, they say nothing or only whisper about the affair, instead of "crying from the housetops." Hence, the gentleman crook or business man crook gets away with his thievery. "Every knock is a boost" is only true when what is told is false, but no knock is a boost that tells the truth. Negro crooks and confidence men generally using race pride as a means to play their game thrive upon silence. The man who knows such wrong doers and will not warn the innocent is both a coward and jackass.

Chocolate After a New Title.
New York City — It is a sobered Kid Chocolate who won from Joey Scalfaro, last week Thursday night, in a 10-round bout at the Queensboro stadium. In the last 18 months the Keed has been chastened by unfair 'decisions', the wear and tear of illness and accident. His chances for a light-weight championship bout with Tony Canzoner1 seem less than one-round since he was less-than-one-round bout with Scalfaro. Luis Guiterrez, the "keed's" manager, has a telegram from Nate Lewis, Chicago stadium matchmaker, offering Chocolate a match with Canzoner1, Oct. 30. On form, Chocolate should win handily, perhaps even score a knockout.

The Homesteads Grays, who habituated make life miserable for opponents and took decisive 18-to-0 triumph over O'Neil's line-up of major and minor league stars at the stadium, Sunday afternoon. Pounding out fifteen hits off three pitchers and profiting at every turn by errors, the Grays proved to a crowd of about 4,000 that work still spells victory on the diamond as well as elsewhere. The Grays won 10-4, and the former Cleveland Indian hero now with Detroit, for four runs in the opening inning. They added to their lead in every inning but the second and fifth but the extra runs were superfluous since Streeter kept the seven hits he allowed well spaced. Uhle retired after three innings and was followed by Dutch Henry and Carl Schoof, who fared no better.

WHAT'S DOING!
Councilman Larry Payne's campaign opening meeting in Mt. Zion Cong. church, recently, which was such a "frost," must have given him a pain. There were approximately 100 persons in the large auditorium of the church when Mr. Maurice Maschke arrived to speak. That's the way it is going to be on election day in November for all "The Blossoms." Thanks, did you notice at Councilman George "opening" meeting, week before last, that a large number of those in attendance left when a Negro candidate arose to speak? Brother, there's going to be a hot time on election day in November.
Frowns on Payne, Bundy Candidacies. An old lady on a Central Ave. car, Monday night, during that heavy rain-storm said, to a young man sitting in her
"De Lawd don't like 'ugly.' Dis is de nite for dat 'Tripolet' Bundy's meetin' an see how 'hadd' its rainin. Member how haud it haud it, last Tuesday nite, when dat ota 'Tripolet', Payne, had his meetin'. Do you is, rain is to de Dimercrats. Councilman George had a beautiful night for his opening meeting." To which "Aunty" replied: "Yeah? Well de Lawd knows Gawge ain't runnin', he 'jes taggin' long."
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 Councilmen 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.
Van Roulette, messenger or porter at the stadium, on Councilman Bundy's recommendation, has not voted in Cleveland owing to the fact that he came to this city only about nine months ago. This, too, in the face of the fact that hundreds of people have been instructed need of work. What do you think of it? Bundy said, last year, in the early stages of the campaign that if Maurice Maschke came into the 17th ward to make a campaign speech he would be run out of the ward. The Cleveland Daily News reporter that wrote and published that statement has never admitted that he made a mistake or that he when he wrote and published it, and we have never seen or heard of any denial of the reporter's charge that Bundy has made. Mr. Maschke, you know, is the head of the local Republican organization. Draw your own conclusions as to its alleged endorsement of the Bundy candidacy. Mr. Maschke was not among those present, Monday evening, when his campaign, in Shiloh Baptist church. It was poorly attended, too, like Payne's opening meeting, last week.

The Widow to Receive "the Net Income" After Several Bequests —Howard U. Remembered.
Washington, D. C.—The will of the late Prof. George W. Cook of Howard university was admitted to probate, last week, and letters of administration were issued to his wife, the Washington Ann琳琳 Cook, and the Washington Loan and Trust company, executors of his estate, Dean Cook left an estate valued at more than $117,000.
He willed $2,000 to his son, George W. Cook Jr. of London, England; $1,000 to his niece, Florence Cook; $500 to a nephew, George W. Cook; $5,000 to Howard university and the property at 341 Bryant St. to his widow. He created two trust funds of $400 each for a nephew and niece.
The remainder of the estate is to be held in remission by the Washington Loan and Trust company. The net income is to be paid to his widow monthly or quarterly installments during her lifetime and upon her death to his son, and upon the death

Why Republican Presidential Candidates Don't Go South—What Segregation Does to High Officials of the Country, and Others, Who Swear One Thing and Do Another—It Kills Courage and Manhood.
Denver, Colo.—When here several weeks ago, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D. C., delivered a remarkable speech at the triennial meeting of the church at its General Association, a number of the high points of which are given herewith:
"Segregation is the great menace to our civil, public, religious and educational institutions. It is the root of all evils. Segregation means stagnation and stagnation. We need individual candidates to go south because of the historical rule of no discussion of political issues and because if Democratic, he knows that the vote of the unborn is already registered and counted for him and Republican. He knows that that unborn is also the vote. Hence, no use to go down South. That's solidarity that never changes
"Segregation blinds, soothes and causes presidents, governors, congressmen, district attorneys and judges, sworn to uphold, defend, preserve the Constitution and the Constitution, make an audience in the violation of the spirit when they know they are swearing one thing and doing another. Segregation kills courage and manhood. Segregation makes hypocrites out of honest men. God has never required that man, because of his Christianity, be less than a full man. Segregation and Christianity cannot man under segregation cannot be a true man under segregation and kills his manhood and the spirit. "States which divide education and segregate pupils, hurt both humanity and the cause of education. Its effect upon the children, who can go to state colleges, schools, etc., and upon those who cannot be, and those they are shut out but who must depend on missionary education, tends to roar the white child of the appreciation of his full duty to other citizens,

I wish to thank you for the interest in the service shown in bringing matters of this kind to our attention, and we trust you will feel free to comment in the future.
The killing of two of our men, Tuesday night, in the midst of a fierce demonstration in which a mob attacked police during an eviction at 2633 E. 47th St., was termed justifiable homicide, Wednesday, by County Coroner Pearce. This ruling came in the deaths of John Grayford, age 54, 606 Cott. Ct., and Edward D. Jackson, age 45, of 4415 Woodland Ave. Four men, including two policemen, lay wounded in Charity hospital following the riot. Lieut. Owen E. McAdams, shot in the left arm and leg, and Patrolman Walter Wingate, badly beaten on the head, are the two injured officers. David Nevels, age 67, of 2873 David Ave. shot in the wrist and Heather White, age 32 of 2526 E. 39th St., shot in the leg and right thumb, during the rioting, were also at Charity host pital. The son of the estate is to be distributed among his heirs at law Dean Cook died Aug. 20, 2011.

"Politically, commercially, socially, agriculturally, economically, etc., segregation causes two circular lines of circulation, one independent of the other and shut off from the other in business and in politics, etc. Thus the business, politics, or society, etc., segregated from others flows in small and large circles according to the groups. The Negro group, the African and smaller suffers more than the combined larger group which has the flow from all the other groups. Segregation dooms the 'Negro' because nowhere in the circle can it be replenished by new blood or ideas, especially hard in days like today when chain stores, combinations, trusts are forming gigantic organizations to take over the business or politics, etc., of the world, while the 'Negro' never gets outside of his circle. The 'Negro' as a business man and otherwise has tried to get out of the business, a finger of disaster stares him in the face of points assuredly to his destruction. It is a hopeless task that segregation has forced him to try and solve his case by his own bootstraps. The need of Christianity to solve this situation is apparent. Economically segregation is bad and destructive."

OUR WOMEN SHOULD LEAD!
When Street Commissioner Jack Tomsen appointed Miss Chrystal Newsome a clerk in his office, several years ago, at the request of the editor of The Gazette there was vigorous opposition to the appointment because of her race-connection. Tomsen ignored this and Miss Chrystal thereupon became our only woman clerk in the city government. This she has been ever since. Now that she has been compelled by ill health to give up the work, temporarily at least, this representation should not be taken from us, particularly from our women, even temporarily, it being all they have in the government of this city. Therefore, both our men and women should rally around Atty. Louise Pridgeon in her fight to retain this representation, especially since Miss Louise Cheeks is on the civil service list and next in line (of our people) for the place. Mrs. Pridgeon's prompt and exceptional activity, in the case of our 13 year old schoolgirl who was so brutally murdered, last week, over a Croton Ave. park, again shows unmistakably what kind of a member of the City Council she will make. It also puts to shame the lack of activity, in the interests of the race, of "The Blossom Triplets" during the past two years. Particularly our women, of the entire city, ought to make "the welkin ring" in behalf of Atty. Louise Pridgeon's candidacy.

THAT LEVIDO CASE.
The Sam Levido, age 24, mentioned in our last issue, is not the proprietor of the print shop at 3603 Croton Ave. but only an employee, a printer. The charge of manslaughter made against him in the face of his alleged confession which the police claimed to have, last week, ought to stir our attorneys and local civic organizations to immediate action. First, Ethel Taylor, the 13 year old girl, 3116 Orange Ave., for the killing of whom Levido is charged with manslaughter, ought to be examined by a physician to determine whether or not she had been outraged, or an attempt at such made before her death. Of course, we are among those who do not believe that the child shot herself, because there was no reason why she should do so unless she had been outraged. She went to the print shop to purchase tablet paper for her school work, and, by the way, this fact should move the school authorities to take interest in the Levido case, and we have so written Supt. R. G. Jones. If she shot herself, why did Levido wrap her body in a blanket and carry it down stairs to notify the police that there had been "a suicide" at that address? He claims, according to police, that he had pulled the revolver from a drawer to frighten her, into acceding to his unholy demands; that she was shot and killed accidently, and later claimed that she had accidently shot and killed herself. The child was shot in the mouth. The fact that Levido is charged with manslaughter does not impress us favorably by any means. Some of our lawyers and civic organizations and the school authorities should take interest in this case, immediately.
Since writing the foregoing, we have learned that Atty. John Ballard, chairman of the executive committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, and Atty. Louise Pridgeon, representing our local Federation of Women's clubs, have been very active in the matter, investigating it thoroly and doing all that can be done at this time. Mrs Pridgeon secured a promise at the county prosecutor's office that the Levido indictment by the grand jury would be for murder in the first degree. She also forced the assistant coroner (in the absence of the coroner)

GO TO "MESSIAH," SUNDAY.
Next Sunday afternoon, opening at four o'clock at Messiah Baptist church, Woodland Ave., E. 46th St., the pastor, Rev. Boston J. Prince, and his wife who is always very active and a live wire in politics as well as church work, will have a mass meeting in the interest of the candidacy of Councilman Herman H. Finkle of the third district, who with his brother-in-law, Atty. Alex Bernstein, has been so exceptionally helpful to hundreds of his constituents of color of the 12th ward, and the district, continuously during the economic depression of the last three years. There will be a number of speakers, including the editor of The Gazette. If you wish to hear the truth relative to the third councilman district candidacies, do not fail to attend this meeting. For many weeks Messrs. Finkle and Bernstein have distributed over a thousand loaves of bread weekly among our people of the 12th ward alone. How helpful they have been to them in other ways for many months, and even years, is a matter of common knowledge. Assemble at Messiah Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, and hear the truth.
The killing of two of our men in the Woodland Ave. riot of Tuesday night, interested in the Communist opposition to the eviction of two tenants, is deplorable, of course, and yet a very natural outcome of the effort "to take the law into their own hands." Four men, including two policemen, were wounded, and three of the Communist leaders were held by police for investigation. While we fully appreciate the material interest the Communists are taking in our people's troubles, to quit the Communist organization's methods. Their efforts to win by force, in this country, can only result in failure in part or whole.
In the vicinity of E. 83d St. and Cedar Ave., Tuesday near midnight, a Zone cab driver, aided and abetted by about ten others, severely beat a drunken member of the race who could not pay for his ride. When the police arrived they wanted to arrest the drunken and beaten "brother," and would have done so but for the interference of bystanders. Clearly, they sided with the taxi drivers, all of whom were "taking the law into their own hands," and in so doing constituted a mob. One of the policemen remarked that there were two or three such demonstrations in "The Roaring Third" weekly. Well, if that is true it is about time for the members of Boydston Post, and other former members of the A. E. F., to effect an organization and arm for the purpose of protecting themselves and others against the unlawful acts of taxi-cab drivers who "take the law into their own hands" and those who sympathize with and aid them. It is said that the Zone taxi-cab drivers are the leading offenders.
Alleged Policy King Escapes Bullets of Gangster Nigung a Nigung a Second Time
The good fortune that attended Wm. Richardson, age 32, of 4102 Central Ave., reputed "policy game king," when gangsters shot at him last January, was with him, last week Friday night, when two men in an automobile drew alongside his car on E. 39th St. between Central and Cedar Aves, blazed away at him with both barrels of a shotgun, and missed, Richardson, better known as "Billie," was driving his own luxurious sedan. With him was Tony Horton age 30 of 4296 Richardson, a police officer to Richardson's lieutenant. They were driving slowly, they told police, when they noticed another car following them. Soon the machine drew abreast and Richardson was practically looking into the muzzle of the gun. He jammed down the accelerator just as one of the men pulled the trigger. The bullets smashed the rear window, barely missing Horton's head. The assailants' car sped on and Richardson stopped. On Jan. 28, two men identified as Mayfield Road gangsters attempted to harry Central Ave. at E. 40th St. and hit at him as he dodged behind a trolley pole. There are those who say Richardson's association with an Italian girl, some months ago, is the real cause of the attacks, and not his alleged "policy game" activities.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mob violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows:
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently 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 assault injury result in permanent or legally disabling livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among such him according to the laws of the distribution of such amount of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162. 6.)
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 him, and may be killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which the recovery is had, to include it with the cost of such action, the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person. A lynching seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a

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

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 lure the law, and gullotines decide to lain disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Constipation may very easily become chronic after forty. And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders. Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them particularly care after forty. Whenever you help, remember a doctor knows best. “Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin” is a doctor’s prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years’ practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies. Made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients, it cannot not sicken you or weaken you; can be used to harm as often as your breath is bad; your tongue is coated; whenever a headache bilious, gassy condition warns you of constipation. At drugstores everywhere.

Restless CHILDREN
CHILDREN will fret, and often for no apparent reason. But there's always Castorial! As harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. Yet its gentle action will soothe a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine.
That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the timest infant as often as there is for older children, but a similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure experience of preparation is usually all that needed.

As Usual the President "Sidestepped" Being Photographed With Visitors of Color.
Washington, D. C.—During his recent engagement here, Duke Ellington of N. Y. City, Harlem's aristocrat of jazz, was invited to call at the White House and meet President Herbert Hoover. Duke is said to be our first entertainer ever to Maschke, Atty. Louise Pridgeon, Dr. C. C. Aler, Atty. Alex. Bernstein, Mr. Flinke, and the editor of The Gazette will be among the speakers at this meeting.
The meeting in the interest of Atty. Louise Pridgeon's candidacy for the City Council in the fourth district, held in her spacious headquarters at the cor. E. $3d St. and Cobble Cave. Thursday evening, was largely attended and featured by exceptional enthusiasm. Mr. Carroll Scott presided and introduced the speakers: Judge Meck, Mrs. Boston' J. Prince, Hon. Harry C. Smith, Rev. B. P. Prince and Mrs. Pridgeon.
"There are three fallacies that come out of Afro-American life. The first of these is that extreme race consciousness will solve our problem; the second, that separate ecology and Americanism is possible; the third, that we must wait for deliverance from the woes that beset us," said George W. Brown, junior civil service examiner, at St. James forum, Sunday afternoon. "Our attitude must not be one of waiting. We must be one of procreation, with phily essential to the maintenance of our group and the future development of our children." Mr. Brown concluded.
A very brilliant wedding affair was that of Pummie L. Larr and Luther M. Rice, at 10 A. M. Sept. 24, at the bride's mother, Mrs. Graham's. E. 83d St. The bride was beautifully dressed in white chiffon and carried a shower bouquet of white roses. She was given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. W. F. Mullen. Immediately after the ceremony, performed by Rev C. E. Hirt, pastor of Second St. Paul M. E. church, Mrs. Lutie M. Robinson sang, Because Mrs. Ethel Scott Sain played beautifully the diner march. Breakfast was served to the bridal party and close friends. The reception in the evening was attended by about fifty. The newly-weds left on their honeycomon trip for Detroit and will be at home, after Oct. 24, at 348 Buchtel St., Akron.
OHIO K K K PROGRAM
OHIO K. K. K. PROGRAM.
At the time of the dismissal of Prof. Herbert A. Miller from the faculty of Ohio State University by his president and the Board of Trustees, 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-crow" schools, and against community organizations, and only thereby 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 "Oblu" 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 Kluxers 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 behooves 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 glad hear from our local and other leaders in their Ohio state. Let us "step into the situation" without unnecessary delay and in a thorouly organized and intelligently aggressive way. We can beat them to it, if we will.

A new and more thor investigation was promised by the county prosecutor's office, Monday, into the brutal murder of Ethel Taylor, age 13, of 3116 Orange Ave. The renewed probe was urged by Mrs. Louise Pridgeon, attorney and adviser for our local Federation of the manslaughter charge plaintiffs that manslaughter charge plaintiffs Sam Levido, age 24 of 3603 Croton Ave, confessed slayer of the girl, should be changed to a first degree murder charge. Levido is being held for the grand jury under $10,000 bond. Mrs. Pridgeon also secured a court order, Monday, for a re-examination of the murdered girl's body. Two physicians, hired by the women's clubs, made the exoneration of the child, charged, lured the girl to his room at the Croton Ave, address, last week Tuesday, attempted to attack her and when she resisted, shot her in the mouth. He then carried the body to a print shop below and called police. At first Levido claimed the girl committed suicide, but later confessed to the killing, police said. Mrs. Pridgeon notifies the judge that four lives of churches raised sufficient money, Sunday, to insure the proper interment of the child; also, that she had provided for the proper care of the little girl of the race who was the only witness of the killing.

Glance BACKWARD
SHOWS 'PHONE Value
THE telephone has become such a matter-of-fact, every-day convenience that it is natural for you to take it for granted. But if you will glance backward over the month when you get your next telephone bill and count the things the service has done for you, you will see quickly that you are getting much for little money.
When you realize that the service has not only helped you in the ordinary routine daily affairs and in emergencies but that your telephone is waiting 24 hours a day to afford you instant and perfect voice communication across the street, across the continent or across the ocean, you will appreciate that its value far out-balances its cost.
RACE PREJUDICE!
"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!
"I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."
—H. G. Wells.

Finding New Plants
Monster Fig of Orotava. Half Grown.
MANY years of whole hearted devotion to the-cause of science was recognized re-
cently when Allison V. Armour, patron of eight expeditions to find and bring into America from foreign countries useful and ornamental plants to enrich our farms and gardens, was awarded the Frank N. Meyer medal for "for distinguished services in plant introduction."
The presentation was made by Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society, at Beinn Bhreagh, home of the late Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the now summer residence of Doctor and Mrs. Grosvenor.
Mr. Armour's yacht Utowana sailed under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture and carried on each expedition a staff of scientific experts chosen by the secretary of agriculture, the president of Harvard university, and the director of Kew gardens, England.
As described in "Exploring for Plants," Dr. David Fairchild's fascinating account of three of these expeditions, the yacht Utowana was especially equipped with laboratory, library and greenhouse arrangements, and everything possible was done to facilitate the collecting, study and transportation of living plants in conformity with the strict regulations of the federal plant quarantine and control board.
The work of the expeditions under Mr. Armour's patronage was not confined to the discovery of hitherto unknown plants in the depths of tropical jungles or on remote islands of the sea. More often the plant explorers brought back known plants in other lands which gave evidence of useful lives in our own country.
One of the most interesting and unusual of the expeditions headed by Dr. Fairchild was that to the Canary islands, a few years ago, when a visit was paid to one of the strangest botanical gardens in the world.
The Garden of Orotava
There is something a bit bewildering to most people in a collection of plants such as one finds in any European botanical garden. The Latin labels and the crowded specimens are too confusing. At Orotava, Don Juan Bollingn's Jardin de Acilmatacion, as he calls his botanic garden, is no exception. It dates back to a time when the illusion prevailed in scientific circles that even the frost-tender plants of the Tropics might be acclimated so that they would grow in the chilly gardens of Europe if only they were brought into them gradually enough. This garden was to have been an important link in the chain of gardens reaching from the Tropics to the Arctic circle; but a century has proved too short a time for the process of acclimatization, as it was understood, to make any impression on the hardiness of tropical trees, and this dream has not come true.
To a botanist, however, the Jardin de Aelimataclon of Orotava is full of fascinating plants which have been brought from all parts of the world, for it represents the successes of thousands of introductions which the long lifetimes of such botanists as Wildpret and others of its directors made possible, and although few of the plants introduced have found their way into common use in the island, that is not the fault of the men who have been in charge, but of the public, which does must look forward to changes in the taste of the users of plant materials.
Today the great rock terraces, built with such back-breaking hand labor as an American farmhand would refuse to undertake, are growing the dwarf Chinese banana for European markets at a profit which would surprise even the most successful of the South Florida tomato growers. But what if the taste for the Honduras banana should supplant that for the Chinese species in the minds of the Europeans? The profits of banana raising might vanish and the growers might have to turn to something else.
Huge Roxburgh's Flies
It is at such turning points as this that human tragedy occurs. Then come into their own the garden of produced plants, furnishing their knowledge of what other plants will grow and what will not in the climate and soils of the region.
The most amazing tree in the garden
at Orotauna is Roxburgh's fig (Fig. roxburghi) from the Himalayas. It is not at all a commercial fig, but a wild tree from the tropical forests of Burma. It seems to be very seldom cultivated in botanic gardens anywhere. It is a spreading tree of immense size, and its trunk and large branches are literally covered with enormous figs—figs that are three inches in diameter before fertilization and that swell up to four inches afterward.
This fertilization, by the way, is very curious. It is done by running a small stick into the interior of each fruit, a process which appears to irritate the internal flowers in the same way that the fertilizing wasp does in its native habitat.
Every afternoon boys irrigate the garden, not by means of the usual irrigation canals so familiar in California, but with a large fire hose, which delivers a stream of water onto the foliage with such force as to wash off thousands of insects and prevent the dust from gathering on the leaves.
But whenever one thinks of the Canaries the barrances come to mind. These are great, dry river beds with precipitous sides and terraced plantations wherever terraces are built. They are short canyons leading from the mountain peaks to the sea; but, unlike those solitary canyons of our Southwest, these are the abodes of men, and there are always to be seen, walking over the zigzag mule paths which enter them, the forms of people.
Stately women with the carriage of grandes dames, straight and graceful, with all kinds of burdens on their heads, wander leisurely over the mule paths, or the sombreros of the men and the miniature forms of their mules give the landscape a friendly appearance.
One never sees a man carrying his burden on his head; the fashion against it seems to be as universal as the fashion against carrying bundles on the streets of London used to be among English gentlemen.
The barrancos are delightful places for the botanist, for in the rocky crevices of their precipitous walls many strange and interesting plant forms can be seen which exist nowhere else in the world. The Aeoniums, for example, which look like green dinner plates thrown up against the walls and stuck there, are striking features of the reign near San Juan de la Rambla.
Dragon's Blood Trees.
The Canaries have long been noted in botanical literature as the home of the dragon's blood trees. The most famous and largest one of these remarkable trees was reported to have been 79 feet in circumference, at the ground and 70 feet high, and its age was estimated as being anywhere from the age of the great Pyramids of Egypt on up to 10,000 years.
Although this specimen was destroyed in the hurricane of 1867, there are descendants still standing near the town of Icod which give a very good idea of these incredibly old trees.
Since they are more nearly related botanically to illies than to our hardwood trees, the difficulties of estimating their age are very great. They have no annual rings of growth and in appearance bear scarcely the faintest resemblance to an oak, a pine, or a giant eucalyptus. They remind one of the great yuccas of the Mohave desert, although they are taller and more tree-like.
They seem, like the huge, ungainly tortoise of the Galapagos islands, to be left over from antediluvian times, and one can imagine dinosauries feeding upon their foliage.
Their great branches rise from the trunk as clumsily and inartistically to the sawdust-filled legs and arms of the old-fashioned doll; and yet there is a certain stateliness about them, too.
The Plant Introduction medal was established by the staff of the division of foreign plant introduction of the Department of Agriculture in honor of Frank N. Meyer, agricultural explorer of that office, who after 13 years of exploring in China and Central Asia was drowned in the Yangtze river in 1918.
The letter of presentation is signed by Doctor Fairchild, president of the American Genetic association; C. E. Leighty, secretary, and by E. W. Sheets, J. H. Kempton and G. N. Collins, members of the council.

TRAPS AND SNARES
OF NEW MILLINERY
Take Care How You Wear the
Empress Eugenie Hat.
Hat styles are delightful, but dangerous, this season. Take care how you choose, and how you wear that new Empress Eugenie hat.
The temptation to be a girl from an old-fashioned "Portrait of a Lady," complete with shoulder cape, muff, and tip-tilted beplumed hat, is proving too much for many women, says the New York Herald Tribune.
Remember that there are simple versions of this new hat style, which are to be worn during the daylight and informal hours. Keep the hat with the swirling ostrich feather for the tea hour, or the theater, and wear with it one of the newly fashionable formal frocks of satin or velvet, not a lightweight woolen dress of tailored simplicity.
And remember, too, that every one of these hats must be tilted very far forward over one eye, worn rather high in the back and well off one side of the head.
I
An ultra simple frock of white jersey, with separate scarf and fitted turban contrasted in yellow. A knobby cocktail hour pin on the turban and two bracelets, one dark blue, the other yellow, offer a new note in sportswear accessories.
Old-Fashioned Miser
Pursue Regals Favor
Perhaps it is just the return to the modes and manners of grandmother's day, which has come with so many of the new fashions, or perhaps it has something to do with the depression, but whatever the reason, the miser's purse of yesteryear is with us again, says the New York Herald Tribune. You will know this purse when you see it, crocheted of silk thread and steel beads in the form of two small pouches, each closed with a ring which slips over the opening, and hung to the finger by another larger ring in the middle. Smart and safe for days of pecuniary depression, and reasonable in price into the bargain.
Designers Bring Pleats
Pleats are in fashion again. This is not a threat against the prevailing mode of doing the hair, but an announcement of the latest arrival among feminine accessories, Hats, hems, waists and pockets are now trimmed with pleats which can be easily manufactured by the home dressmaker. Ribbon, material and cord are used in two or three colors.
The idea has even spread to Jewels, for the modern gem-set bracelet watch is fastened with a pleated cord colored to harmonize with the precious stones set around the rim, be they rubies, emeralds or sapphires.
RANDOM STYLE
NOTES
Corduroy is popular for practical types of children's wear.
Bright green rough woolens are the "last word" for sports and tailored suits.
Sheer woolen costumes topped with jaunty feather-trimmed felts is the slogan for early fall.
Hats were never more important. They demand a very careful and correct hairdress.
Wool is extremely popular for the fall suit or frock, and the latest is top it with a velvet tam and scarf, or a little brimmed cap, tipped over one eye.
Don't forget the importance of black, always, however, with a dash of color.
Artificial velvets, as they call our rayon types, are extremely popular in Paris.
AIR OF ELEGANCE IN ACCESSORIES
Lend Touch of Richness to Costumes for Fall.
Accessories add a touch of richness to the fall costumes.
From antique brocade bags to carved jade necklaces, from beaten silver kerbels to appliqued chiffon handkerchiefs, the finishing touches to winter wardrobes reflect an air of sumptuous richness.
Many of the fashionable fancies borrow their inspiration from lands across the sea.
Antique brocade bags made of dull brocaded silk from Persia and Syria and finished with large antique gold clasps studded with jewels, are the dernier cri for afternoon and evening.
Designed in flat pouch shape, they have been ordered in jewel-tinted velvets to match different gowns by many an elegant.
Bead bags have returned to favor. They are smaller and less ornate than the old bead bag which was nearly a foot square and reflected as many colors as Joseph's coat.
The new bead bags are pouch shaped, woven with tiny beads of one color and finished with a dull metal or jewel clasp.
Dress handkerchiefs are huge squares or circles of colored chiffon. Many of them are made of white and printed chiffon, pieced together like a picture puzzle to reflect the colors of the accompanying frock.
Hand-Crochet Sweater
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS
Stadler
We might have seen it coming. With the vogue for contrast in color and fabric sweeping Paris with the rage for crochet, we might have known even the humble sweater would have to succumb. Here it is—the last note from Paris in sweaters. The sweater is crocheted in filet stitch, from fine imported meedling wool, the kind that comes thirty yards to the card, while the yoke and cuffs are of mercerized crochet thread, done in the Irish stitch. You easily crochet one for yourself, for the stitches are easy and go very quickly. The sweater here shown is of brown mending wool with the yoke in eern crochet thread. The beret, also of the brown mending yarn, is in the filet of fresh mesh net stitch.
Furs Must Be Real to
Fashionable furs are not going to be false ones this fail. Only the real thing is being shown for the smart woman's back this season.
Mink, astrakhan, broadtail, caracul, beaver and ponyskin are the main furs used. The skillfully-disguised rabbit-skin is almost out of the running. Trimmings include a great deal of beaver, astrakhan and blue fox.
Astrakhan seal makes a handsome three-quarter coat in golden tone. It is very simple in line, with a flat collar, wide revers and double-breasted, closing under two pearl rings instead of buttons.
The craze for dull materials has extended to both velvets and satins. The new flat fur trimmings, which distinguish fall suits and coats, are very designful and elaborate, in fact most intriguing. Brown, rich dark green and wine red compete for supremacy in the fall mode. Flouce, bustle and quaint cape treatments register in formal imports. Sheathlike evening gowns coming into fullness at the knee remind of the Gibson girl. Stiff satins and taffetas for evening are seen with surprising frequency. Materials are often unhemed and edges frayed—especially crepe wool, tweeds and taffetas. The natural waistline is unanimous.

"THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS"
BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND NOW MUST PAY!
Cleveland, O., Aug. 19, '81. Wendell Phillips Dabney. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati, O. Dear Confraternize: "Your request for a short article on "The Blossom Triplets," Cleveland's Afro-American councilmen, Atty. Clayborane George, Atty. Lawrence O. Payne and Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, is here with complied with: Dudley S. Blossom (white), director of safety of Cleveland for about six years past, with his then superior officer, City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, arbitrarily refuse our flowers, 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 sentence.
When Rev. Horace C. Bailey, for more than twenty years one of our leading ministers, in this community, took his motherless grand-daughter, a graduate of our local public schools, to said Blossom in an effort to secure her admission to the nurse's training school at the City hospital, he was curtly and
She's Off To School
THE FASHION WEEKLY
SHE who goes forth to make educational institutions gayer and ever younger is the "she" we mean. SHE starts out this autumn all brown from summer suns and all excited. SHE packs a big trunk but SHE takes with her as a happy minimum:
Two or three class room frocks, a large dress shirt like that illustrated, which is partly wunty but kept from being too warm by the genius of Madame Schlapellari who designed the material with corduroy-like "cords" of wool, faggoted together with lustrous durene cotton—the effect being warm and wintry; the actual weight being right for the heated class rooms. The probably takes also two informs: dinosaurs and one swank-as-can-be "prom" gown which need not be expensive and certainly should not be ornate.
Of course, SHE must take some dalty silk undies and some practical — but dainty, too — duree cotton everyday and sports undergarments, plenty of handkerchiefs, and several berets, a more formal hat for town, one suit and a good warm winter coat. Snow and evening slippers, study slippers, long fingering pajamas, three or four night dresses, gloves, gym bloomers, etc. And off she goes.
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. Perege and Dei 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 rebels in the third and fourth councilmanic districts made the same demand.
Payne and Bundy reside in the third district and George in the fourth district. They pledged their constituents, night after night during the campaign, to "do all in to lower the overpopulation of kins 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 disgusting every loyal member of the community this community as well as others.
As members of Cleveland's City Council, they have failed absolutely to cause the removal of the unfair prejudices, against our people only, in the various city departments. In spite of the fact that their three members have the 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 city council. 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.

DISCOBULOS—the ancient Greek discus thrower—represents a certain type of litle strength with which the modern young woman is not wholly unacquainted as a woman her own energetic outdoor development. The fashions of the day may have turned to Eugenia and the court of ladies who could "scarcely pass through a door so wide were their skirts"; but the symbol of athletic, active young womanhood has fortunately not slipped back to the days of fainting ladies and iron bound figures, so much as it has to that much more distant day as bodily perfection was put before an form of raiment. Among other matters of which the modern woman considers seriously in her quest for beauty, sports fame and health, are undergarments. And so lacking in pretentious modesty is this modern young woman that she will discuss the matter with you without a foolish qualm. We asked one—aged 13—to do so. Said she: "I love lovely, fluffy linings—

the other score or more failures of "The Blossom Triplets" which have arrayed against them all the loyal and aggressive members of the race in this community. Payne, George and Bundy will be defeated in November. Two or more Afro-American candidates are opposing each of them and in January next month good riddance to "The Blossom Triplets."
The editor of "The Union" will recall that it took more than three years to get our internes and student-nurses into the Cleveland City hospital. This was accomplished the first of last year and was the result of a fight lead by "The Gazette" with the assistance of the late Geo. A Myers of this city and Feway P. Feway of this city 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.
An Annual Encyclopedia of the "Negro" Now in Its Eighth Edition—1931-32.
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 gives in a concise but thorough-roaring form the information desired. It provides a comprehensive and impartial 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 part of 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. The book is also especially adapted for use in schools and other places where historical and sociological courses on the "Negro" are given. It has 544 pages and the price per copy, postpaid, is $2.00. You need it in your home for reference. Address "The Negro Year Book" Co., Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

its place! Any girl does. But can you imagine a modern girl permitting herself to look like a French doll in her club locker room? All the shops have quantities of that thing, but thank heavens we have certain respects at least—a lot more than the appropriate some of our mashes had. The smart durene cotton underthings we wear for sports and outdoor existence in general, including the campus, are really awfully nice, and simple and dainty. "First of all they're sturdy; next, light; next, bright; thirdly, form fitting but plain, and last but not least, decidedly chic; despite their practical side. I understand they didn't use to know how to bring out the luster in cotton as they do now with durene, but I can't see why they ever had to make those monstrous that made you look like a stuffed pig. Certainly the smart little riding and skiing suits the little pants and tights, and the softs that we wear today for female and golf fit our figures and do a great job of it!"
