When arraigned in court, the next day, he pleaded guilty to the theft of $230 worth of clothing belonging to Chas. Walker and Judson Davis of that city. The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Last fall during the campaign, Councilman Roy Bundy made a statement in the local newspapers that "if Maurice Maschke came into the 17th ward to make a political speech he would be run out of it." He didn't talk so gibby about running Mr. Maschke out of the ward during the campaign just closed. Many people had asked him about it. Bundy was so desperate, this time, that he welcomed him with open arms, and then some! There are to be examinations, next month, for appointments to the police force. All patrolmen for the next two years will be selected from the list of those who pass these examinations. Applications to take them must be filed before Dec. 8, "31. The physical examination will be conducted and the mental examination on Jan. 5. Applicants must be at least 5 ft. 9 in. height. Altho three or four of our men passed the examination, given some months ago, for membership on the police force, not one of them was appointed because of the NEGLECT of "The Blossom Triplets," Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy. There is to be another examination next month, applications for which must be filed before Dec. 8, '31. This will afford another opportunity for men seeking to be policemen, and to the Blossom Triplets" to help at least three of them. No one but the unsophisticated believes for a moment that Atty. Louise J. Pridegeon was given credit for half the votes she really received. And by the same token those who have inside knowledge know that George never received the total vote announced for him, even that he had run some thirteen of forty and buried behind the fourth district's first police Mrs Pridegeon will be the next Afro-American member of the City Council from the fourth district—two years hence. There are a number of ways "it" was done election day. Possibly the following, from The Cleveland Daily, 31 points to at least one of 31: Registered the Dead. "In the seventeenth ward only one precinct has been investigated, precinct A, in which Councilman Leroy N. Bundy lives. In that precinct, Joseph Silber said, 30 persons had registered who were not known at the addresses they gave. One had given the number of a filling station as his home and two others gave numbers which didn't exist. Among other irregularities cited by the committee treasurer are the registering of eight persons from a vacant house at 2701 E. 53rd St., and the appearance on the lists of one voter understood to have been dead since 1923." Campaign Echoes. The voters of the 12th ward showed last week Tuesday, election day, what they that of the Payne-Bundy-Bender K. K. K. policy of trying to dispose of the leadership of Atty. Alex. Bernstein and Councilman Herman Finkle. After having remained away from Finkle during the campaign and aiding the opposition to his candidacy, wasn't it a very bitter pill to swallow when Payne had to use a part of Finkle's votes to get "elected"? He like George, failed signally to get the necessary quota of first候选. Councilman John Marshall's advice in a speech to voters of the 12th ward to "vote for George as I will have plenty and won't need them" came very near defeating him. George can CHARGE LYNCHERS ESCAPE PENALTY Probers Find of Twenty-One Victims Two Were Innocent and Eleven Possibly So. Atlanta, Ga.—The southern commission on the study of lynch-murder says that although mob members generally make little no effort to identify the identity, "infortentions were returned in only six of the twenty-one lynchings in 1930. Its report, made public Tuesday, said "officers and others present" at lynchings usually "testified that they recognized none" of the mob. This attitude was attributed "only to con- [Picture of a man in a suit]. nivance or stupidity." Of the twenty-one persons lynched in 1930, two were "certainly innocent, and eleven others possibly so," the report adds. In some cases, the commission said it found "reason to suspect that the victims had been deliberately 'framed' for the purpose of concealment or revenge." The following statements were included in a summary of the commission's report: "Less than one-fourth of persons lynched since 1890 have been accused (not convicted) of assault upon white women. Many Innocent Lynched! "Claim that lynchings are necessary because courts do not convict Negroes for their crimes is found to be fallacious. Lynching is most frequent per tens of thousands of Negro population in sparsely settled areas. There is a direct relationship between lack of education, low economic status, and lynching danger." Discussing the offenses for which lynch-murders occurred in 1930, the report says: "One man was lynched solely because he had offended political opponents, and another to prevent his appearance as a witness in a serious court case against white men. In five of the other eleven cases, it was not clear that the mobs got the guilty persons, and in the other six there was doubt as to the truth of the charges against the men lynched." group investigating. The group was investigating the investigation, which was approved last year by the commission on inter-racial co-operation, was headed by George F. Milton, president and editor of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) News, and included Julian Harris, news director of the Atlanta Constitution; Dr John Hope, president of the Atlanta (Ga.) University; Dr. Benj. F. Hu, president of Georgia State College; Dr. Chas. S. Johnson, department of social science, Fisk University; Dr. W. P. King, book editor of the M. E. church, South; Dr. W. J McGlothlin, president of Furman University and also head of the Southern Baptist convention; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. Howard W.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN "BURNT UP" IN AN OPEN LETTER FROM A LOYAL DETROIT MEMBER OF THE RACE Who Tells Him "To Stay Home and Attend to His Own Affairs and Stop Meddling in Local Politics."—Hot Stuff. Detroit, Mich. — Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago made his second attempt to indorse the candidacy for mayor of Harold Emmons Monday night, Nov. 2, at Tabernacle church, but met with the same fate that greeted him at First Regiment armory Saturday evening, Oct. 31, when he denounced "the Music Thinging at Tabernacle church almost developed into a riot. Catcalls, hisses and jeers greeted every effort made by DePriest to deliver his speech. Rev. Pittman, pastor of the church, pleaded for order, but the confusion continued. In an open letter, Charles C. Diggs, undertaker and a defeated candidate for the common council, branded DePriest a traitor for his untimely speech (the first one) here, Saturday, at Light Guard armory before a crowd of 5,000 persons. The congressman, hissed and booed because he sought to be in local politics in the filibustered letter to stay home and attend to his own affairs. Diggs' letter: Detroit, Mich. Nov. 2. '31. Congressman Oscar DePriest, Congressman Dear Sir: Your action in hiring yourself out last week to come to Detroit, and speak for one Mr. Emmons, a candidate for mayor, whom you know does not represent the best interest of your group in our city and whom you know is the choice of less than 5 per cent of our citizens here, proves conclusively that members of your group and your congressional district in Chicago say that Chicago needs an honest, younger and more qualified man of the race as congressman from Illinois, are right! You came here under the camouflage of dealing with the unemployment question and as representing the national Republican committee. You express no program for unemployment relief, only outlining what you thought the man would do for us who paid you to come here. We, as citizens of Chicago, are asking you to that. The national Republican party has no interest in a non-protestant election in Detroit, not even our local and state Republican officials are taking any interest in Mr. GEORGE AND JOBS! Editor The Gazette:—Some months ago, Claybourne George went to a conference in Assist. City Atty. Ryan's office to stop picketing of Fisher Bros. chain stores but lost his fight. As a result, the Economic Race Development Society, whose slogan is "Do not spend your money where you cannot work", was able to interview The Fisher Bros. Co. which is something few "Negroes" had ever done. That interview proved fruitful to the E. R. D. society and an agreement was made to supply the stores in "Negro neighborhoods with eighteen managers and as many clerks as were needed to support the stores in the city." Mr. Grady informed the E. R. D. society that he would give us our own district manager. The Fisher contract is the fairest offered in the city of Cleveland. But what happened? Mr. George called a mass meeting at Temple Baptist church, called in Mr. Grady and pretended to be the original source thru which The Fisher Co. changed their policy of employment, and had the people, who were to be placed in jobs, stand up. He then made a lengthy speech, took a collection and left the people thinking he was the source thru which The Fisher Bros. Co. hired "Negroes. What went on between Mr. George and Mr. Grady. The Fisher Co. hired less than one dozen "Negroes in the time they asked to give full amount of representation, which accounted for would have been about 100 of our people, more or less. One hundred persons hired would relieve sofferings. The day before the conference mentioned was the first time the E. R. D. society knew Mr. George e. R. D. society knew Mr. George hired in the stores except for his own political gain. When he was asked his view on the hearing, he stated: "I sure am sorry Mr. Ryan called me in for I certainly am opposed to that movement." The job campaign, in order to continue to get good jobs for the people, must therefore get rid of Mr. 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 NEWSBEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

State Senator Roxboro, our own representative to Lansing, is for Murphy. U. S. Senator Couzens is also for Murphy. It appears that our congressman from Illinois is taking a OSCAR DE PRIEST large responsibility upon himself to come to Detroit to protect the Republican party without the co-operation and best wishes of the leaders and the Republican officers of our state from governor down. I would say in conclusion that your speeches about national affairs are quite entertaining, but our interest in local political affairs in Detroit and your interests can be better served in the future by your remaining in Chicago, where I understand you have an acute unemployment problem that should claim your attention.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1931 It is true that very, very few of our business men advertise and fewer still know the value of using the advertising columns of our newspapers. There would be less failures and much more prosperity if the foregoing were not true. --- It now looks very much as if President Herbert Hoover's war department is transferring our soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry and those of the 24th and 25th Infantry to other units of the U. S. army and lowering their status as combat troops. In plain words, it looks very much as if the war department is making servants of them rather than soldiers. Its claim that soldiers (white) are being similarly treated and placed with other units of the army is being investigated. Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, who was employed during the recent campaign to deliver two political speeches in Detroit, one Saturday evening in Light Guard armory before a crowd of 5,000 persons, and the other, Monday evening, in Tabernacle church, made the mistake of interfering in local politics during his speeches. He ought to have known better. We know of nothing that will excuse him for making such a blunder. It almost caused a riot in the church. --- More than $5,000,000 have been spent on the Harlem hospital, N. Y. City. A $2,000,000 women's pavilion and nurses' home addition to it has just been started. The medical board, the staff and the patients of Harlem hospital are mixed. Mayor "Jimmy" Walker of N. Y. City characterized the institution as "a monument to racial tolerance" and praised highly the achievements of our nurses and doctors on the hospital staff. He also praised Dr. Louis T. Wright, secretary of the medical board of the hospital and a police-sergeant of that city. This good news ought to be furnished former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, councilman-elect, and Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom of this city. They need it! EDITOR DABNEY VILIFIED. For standing up for right and principles, so necessary to the progress of our people, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of "The Cincinnati Union" was vilified in a campaign paper issued, week before last, in behalf of Frank Hall, Afro-American candidate for membership in the City Council of the former "Queen City of the West." "Twas ever thus!" the editor of The Gazette can fully sympathize with his Cincinnati colleague and long personal friend, having had so very much of that sort of thing for many, many years. "Brother" Dabney; it is the penalty every honest, out-spoken, aggressive and loyal member of the race, particularly an editor, has to pay for the privilege of trying to help the masses of our people in preference to their double-crossing, rascally blow-bag "leaders". RAPIDLY RETROGRADING. The great majority of our people of today, unlike those who have passed and gone and who by their fraugility, truthfulness, industriousness and good common-sense demanded and commanded respect from all other races, seem to care only for pleasure and make-belleve, and to have little regard for the truth, make practically no preparation for the future, and only think of having "good time". They are martyrs to the cause of deception and pleasure, but cannot become martyrs for principles. Picnics galore, taxies daily, small down-payments on unreasonably high-priced homes and automobiles; vacations, entertaining and making every kind of an outward show of prosperity. But when a call was sent out, last fall, to raise a fund to send our Ex-Representative Perry Jackson to Columbus to watch and protect our interests in the last legislature, none could spare any money for this very necessary act. When the Empire Savings and Loan Co. was in need of help, we couldn't afford or didn't have the means to deposit a small sum in that organization for the purpose of restoring confidence in it and building up business for that very much needed enterprise. We can beg, borrow, etc., in order to present "a big masked front", but can do nothing to make this city a better grace for ourselves and our children, or to fight and try to stamp out prejudice, segregation, disrespect, distrust and "jim-crowism". Every day and in every way, we (as a race) are very rapidly retrograding. The Gazette can plainly see that it will only be a few more years, if our people don't wake up and start to think of the future, until we will have another Cincinnati right here in Cleveland, or a Columbus. It was there the K. K. K, recently held a state meet and in one of that city's public school buildings, to draft plans to "take care of the Negroes of Ohio during the next three years", and we are still sleeping and occasionally waking up to listen to unscrupulous leaders who are exploiting the race for their selfish purposes, and when we do have a "down home" up here, don't blame anyone but yourselves and your leaders. CAMOUFLAGE Councilman Roy Bundy introduced a resolution in City Council, Monday evening, authorizing an "investigation of the alleged defects in the election machinery" in ward 17, last week Tuesday. He claimed that "more than 1,000 electors in the 17th ward had been denied a vote, election day, because of mistakes in registration that were not the fault of the voters". All this is nothing but bunk and camouflage. He is trying to cover up the inflated registration in that ward and thus prevent an investigation that should include ward 11 at least, and be thoro. Instead of 1,000 electors in the 17th ward being denied a vote, last week Tuesday, a proper investigation would show what is pretty generally claimed in that section of the city and that is that the "registered voters" in that ward out-number the real voters by between one and two thousand. By all means let us have a thoro investigation of the inflated registration in both the 11th and 17th wards and not one for "alleged defects in election machinery". Councilman Larry Payne seconded Bundy's resolution with the following: "Numbers and numbers of law-abiding persons interested in their city were prevented from voting by a damnable dangerous registration system". Positively a silly statement and silly language—"damnable dangerous registration system." There is positively nothing dangerous about permanent registration. Even Payne ought to know that. SHILOH CHURCH SOLD Brings a Little Over Half the Mortgage Debt — Trustees "Up Against It" — "Bill" Columbus, O.—Thirty-two families face the possibility of the loss of their homes to make up a deficiency of $31,000 because the sheriff's auction sale of Shiloh Baptist church, October 24, brought only $36,000. The Bellefontaine Building and Loan Co. holds a mortgage of $65,000 on the property. Inasmuch as it did not bring the amount of the mortgage, the loan company may look to the trustees and members of the loan company who signed the mortgage note. On the payment of the deficit of $31,000. It is said that many of those signing the note claim that the pastor, Rev. J. H, Burks, misrepresented the matter to them and did not tell them they were signing a note. Those who signed the mortgage are: J. W. Waldron, Elmer Budford, H. C. Bland, F. O. Guthrie, M. F. Lindsay, I. A. Barbour, H. T. Jones, Lewis Perlew, Wm. M. Jones, James Duglug, Wilber West, Jesse Andrews, Elmer Miller, Willey Fordson, Wm. T. Johnson, James Braxon, Wm. Hawkins, Clarence Jennings, Geo. Bivens, David Bruce, and heirs to the estates of S. L. Gibbs, and Robert T. Steppe.

U.'s great Afro-American tackle, particularly his splendid work in the recent Michigan and Northwestern games: "I think he has more fight and possesses more football judgment than any lineman on the squad. He backs it up by his faultless play in every game. Who received the best hand from the crowd to day? Where was the crowd to day on his grasp his hand? Where was the student-member to give him a sweat-jersey? Where was the comment and praise due any such player from any of the Columbus newspapers?" THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

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 House of Representatives, in 1894: The General Assembly of 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 will enjoyment of the accommodations 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 the next fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. DOINGS OF THE RACE.

By RUBE GOLDBERG 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 WIND SHIPS Thrilling Spectacle of a Full-Rigged Ship at Sea. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) The lowly but romantic trump 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 trump 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 becoming 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 Alres to Tocáncano—nine times out of ten she will use the Magellan passage, or, falling 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 Guanapo, Lobos, and Santa Rosa for Jacksonville, Wilmington, or Falmouth for orders, to pass through the cannail instead of using the old highway from San Francisco to Cape Horn. Indeed, in the grain race of 1830, the 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 Laeiss line—Padun, Passat, Parmi, Prawli, Pamir, and Peking—all splendid, upstanding, four-masted baskets, 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 Padun, as late as 1925. They carry no auxiliary engines of any kind. One of them, the full-rigged ship Pinnus, 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-gouge, square-rigged ships. America still has one or two, but except for the four-masted Monongahela, which was in Port Adelaide in January, 1928, where she discharged a cargo of lumber, and the full-rigged ship Tustalia, 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 steemers 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 gambit 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 1830 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 steerageway 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 leak, 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 four-masted 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, NOVEMBER 14, 1931. Jewel Shoulder Straps 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 On distinctly new lines is the small hat with a curving feather like a crepe cemoon. 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 flopping 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 knot perched in front and Wateau shepherdess bow behind. Buttons Trim College Girl Frocks By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1930s X 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 fifty jersey frocks, which are so decidedly "it" for the college girl this fall, make a perfect background for the now-so-cuh button trimmings. In order that you 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 up and down the deftly-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 Your Copy or an Acqu 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 Bazeer. 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 alpa-like weaves and facone surfaces are offered. "A woolen season is strongly indicated. In coatings the newest surfaces are rough for daytime wear, changing to duvetyn or broadcloth for more formal coats." New Glove Buttons Up Back Instead of Up 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, ma'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. THE FASHION WEEK four immense ocean pearl buttons which pose two on one side and two on the other at the biplane 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穿 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 hat 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 flare as the season demands. y of The maintenance w CHASTENED! GEORGE, PAYNE AND BEN RESULT OF THE SUPER REPUBLICAN O Will They Make It Trouble tinue to Oppose Herman H Leader of the City GEORGE, PAYNE AND BUNDY ELECTED AS THE RESULT OF THE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. Will They Make It Trouble Again Next Year and Continue to Oppose Herman Finkle, Republican Floor-Leader of the City Council?—Blossom. Every voter in the fourth and tenth councilmanic districts of this city, especially those of the race who refused on Nov. 3, 1931, to vote for "The Blossom Triplets" Councilmen George Payne and Bundy) are entitled to the praise and thanks of all of our people in about everybody in this community, this community. The fact that "The George Bur "The Blossom" H. H. Triplets" were opposed so bitterly by many of our people ought to serve as a warning to them "to snap out of it" and start in immediately in an effort to do something material for their constituents of color particularly, during the incoming two years of office. Even so the election is over, it is quite proper to mayday to provide for Nov. 3rd, that their claims of accomplishments for the race were in a large decree untrue. Be this as it may, the fact remains that during the past two years Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy have done absolutely nothing looking toward the elimination of prejudice against our people in the various departments of the city. This they have done unquestioned. They instead of quietly submitting to it in order to secure a few positions and jobs. And this elimination to the minimum could have been accomplished, too. However, the basis of the greatest complaint against "The Triplets" was their breaking of their promises and pledges to our people of the fourth and councilmanic districts, and the city, all power to help out Color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom" Instead of doing this, they helped DUDLEY S. BLOCCOM secure Blossom's re-appointment in the face of the fact that for more than four years he had barred our young men and women only from training in the City Hospital, a public institution maintained by the tax-payers of this city, climaxing this miserable mistreatment with the following coarse and insulting statement to one of our leading local ministers, Rev. Horace C. Bailey, and his motherless grandaughter, and his sister, the city hall in an effort to secure the entrance of the latter to the Nurses Training school at the hospital: "No! no Negro boy or girl shall train in the City Hospital as long as I am welfare director." It took a three-year fight on the part of the "Gazette and Councilman F. W. Walz's resolution, the first of last year, to make Director Blossom "eat those words." This, however, does not lessen the grievously insulting and miserable mistreatment of our people of this community by him. He gravated the fact that Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy broke their promises and pledges, and promoted the prejudiced Blossom's reappointment. Their loyal constituent "The Blossom Triplets" and all know why. He not only has no apology to make for the same but is proud of the fact because it was wholly and simply an exhibition of intense loyalty to this race of ours and to the people for the same during the past near fifty years of publication of "The Old Reliable" Gazette in this city. It was early last year that, led by Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets", particularly he and Payne, started an open fight to replace Councilman Herman Finkle and 'leader Alex Bernstein of the 12th Ward, two of the very best friends our people in that section of the city have and are working with them for many months.

The writer was among those who did everything in his power, as about everybody in this community knows to encompass the defeat of Payne from Triplets" the opposition ever since, with the result that Mr. Finkle secured on Nov. 3d, the largest first-choice vote in the third councilmanic district while Payne of the same district was given a greatly reduced vote and was lucky to be re-elected even with the help of votes transferred to the candidates. The abnormal large wards in the 11th and 17th wards undoubtedly accounts for Bundy's and Payne's success in a very great measure. It is common talk that the registered vote in each of these wards is from one to two thousand more than there are voters in them. AN OPPORTUNITY!

A MUCH-NEEDED KNOCKING—a slang ex something said that is derog or a reflection upon a personation. The real meaning of k reflecting upon a person that When the truth is told --- A MUCH-NEEDED DEFINITION! 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.

These new dourne replicas which have appeared on the retail market are primarily responsible for dream designers both here and abroad showing such an interest to lace. Another interesting thing is that American designers began showing lace gowns several weeks before the French fall openings. And then—lo and behold—many of the great French couturiers followed suit. That was rather a feather in the cap of the American designer, suggesting that lace would be part of the fashion world at large. Please notice in the gown that amusing little lace "bustle." Whoever would have thought that a bustle could be so graceful? "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report.
