A Former Ohioan Accomplishing Most Beneficial Results in the Far West—Miss Beasley and "Race Relations." Oakland, Calif., Nov. 17, 171. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Kind Sir: — Please accept with deep appreciation my thanks for the kind reference in a recent issue of our paper The Journal of Gazette, concerning the exhibition (now being shown in this city) of the Harmon Foundation works by our artists. I was thrilled when one day last week, the director of the Oakland Art Galleries handed me a copy of "The Old Reliable" Gazette in which he had just read appreciation" a marked article, and thought I, too, "might be interested in it. You can imagine my day as, at the time, he copy of The Gazette, as the same time saying: Why this is the paper from which I (as an agent) earned the very first money I ever made in my life as a school girl. Also, I wrote my very first newspaper article for its editor when attending school in my home town in Cincinnati, O. It was then, and it still considered the most reliable "Negro" newspaper, published in the United States. ```markdown ``` OUS TENOR Dec. 6, '31 & Healys, 1226 Huron Rd.; also 4 Cedar Ave., HEnd. 1321.

As you know one of the chief aims of my life has been to create "better race relations thru contact."

In other words, I capitalized the exhibition to tell the reading public a whole set of things about the race that should know for their good and that of my people. (Miss Delliah L.

Central-Cathedral Latin Game An American football game An American football band, and maybe two more will start off Central High-Cathedral Latin city championship "cowhide" battle for charity in Cleveland stadium, Saturday, with a blaring and tooting that no football game in this town has ever had before. There will be 750 band players in snappy uniforms, lined up in the stands, and tooting one more post. One after another they will step out of line, march down the field through the west goal posts, playing their favorite school airs while their own school-supporters cheer. They will form a solid flank on each side of the field as Cleveland black and gold, wheel into the center of the field and form a tremendous C and L, initials of the two contending teams.

"Chocolate" Robbed Again New York City—The miserable American prejudice cost "Kid Chocolate" the decision in his 15-round battle* in Madison Square Garden, last Friday evening, with Tony Canzoneri for the lightweight championship. The decision was not unanimous because one of the judges, Chas. F. Mathison, refused to "swallow the dose."

Stuart Bell of "In This Corner" in The Cleveland Daily Press of Nov. 21, '31 has the following deserved tribute: Ringing the Bell. The game today between Ohio State and Illinois can be expected to produce some exciting individual drama in addition to the routine thrills that crop up in every football contests. This 20th battle between Buckeyes and Steelers annually produced as many upsets as any of the traditional games in the Western Conference will provide an excellent vehicle for William Bell, Ohio State's colored tackle. The one-man act entitled "Who's sorry story?" You see, Mr. Bell is one of the greatest tackles in the Western Conference. Not only that, but he is one of the greatest tackles who ever played in the Western Conference, or any other league or section. And, also, you see, if you read Coach Bob Zuppke's all conference selections made this week, that Mr. Bell wasn't the most successful as one of the foremost tackles in the Ten. Mr. Zuppke happens to be the coach of the Illinois team that plays against Ohio State today. Mr. Bell isn't a vindictive sort of person at all, but I have a hunch that he will even outdo previous sensational feats on the gridiron just to prove that he is a good tackle even if he isn't worthy of a place on the All-Western Conference football eleven. However, he will be on some of the all-territory tackles he isn't on Mr. Zuppke's. When I pick a Big Ten eleven he will be at a tackle post. Always in—and Ready Of course, I haven't seen Bill Bell play all his games this year. I saw him only against Michigan and northwestern. In the Northwestern game he was pitted against Dallas Marvil, one of the prize tackles in the country, and if there is one tackle who was outplayed that day it was Dallas Marvil. Mr. Zuppke the player of his all-conference tackles. Riley the Northwestern tackle, was Zuppke's other choice. Riley is a better tackle than Marvil, faster and quicker acting. Bell is just as good as Riley and better than Marvil. Bell is as good as any tackle in the country but he won't make many all-star tackles, when it comes to aggressiveness, when it comes to punts, courage, blocking, breaking up enemy running or line plays or going down 'the field on kicks. Mr. Bell is about as good as they make them. Furthermore, when he leaves a ball game, he leaves with his head up, conscious of the fact that he has done his best but not a better job than somebody else might have. He is always in condition, and readiness. No injury time is taken out for him. Bell played some great football as a freshman, especially against Pittsburgh. He played great ball all thru his junior year last season while this season he has been outstanding, not only in the Ohio State line but in all the games the Buckeyes have played. One of the finest responses to the game said by a good football was Oct. 24 when he lied from duty late in the game with northwestern. trotted to the sidelines. Everybody in the Ohio stadium stood up and cheered. Funeral services for Mrs. Marie Anderson, $228 Thackeray Ave. an old resident, were held last week.

Ousted Professor Calls Trustees "Puppets of the Ku Klux Klan Element"—Races Equal. Members of the Ohio State university's board of trustees were described as "puppets of the Ku Klux DR HERBERT A MILLER Klan element," last Saturday noon, by Dr. Herbert A. Miller, now of Oberlin, O., former professor of sociology at that institution, whose dismissal from the school, last spring, aroused nationwide condemnation. Dr. Miller, addressing the CWA, said he had been lended Hotel, said his attitude on the race question and on compulsory military training led to his dismissal. He declared that efforts to interfere with a professor's right of free thought and free speech nullify the purpose for which a university exists, the search for truth. "What professor it is on the race question, professor" a member of the club asked at the conclusion of the address. "I devote a year's' graduate course to explain that." the former head of the O. S. u sociology department replied, and then went on to say that the mission of social science is to teach the social varying colors "to set on together." "And they can't get on together when one race assumes a God-given advantage over the other race," he very pertinently added. Research in the fields of anthropology, biology and kindred sciences show that there is little or no fundamental difference between the two races. Dr. Miller declared that none of the seven present trustees of the university has any special academic training. "Not one of them has been eminent enough to be mentioned in 'Who's Who in America,'" the speaker said. "This group of men has usurped the functions of the faculty. It now is the responsibility of the citizens of Ohio to win back the university. You have no idea how low that reputation has fallen in the academic world."

The play, therefore, had to be given in the Knights of Pythias temple (white) on West High St., on Sunday afternoon, at the time advertised. "The Great American Tragedy" is the same play that was given in Columbus, a few weeks ago, and is intended to impress upon American whites the difference between races; to promote the Klan's campaign for separate schools as well as anti-miscegenation legislation it intends to promote at the next session of the legislature of Ohio. A love-affair of the principal characters—a boy of the race and a white girl—began in a college which they both attended, is the basis of the film "The Great American Tragedy." "The Great American Tragedy" was written for the express purpose of promoting racial prejudice, like that the infamous photoplay, "The Birth (Rape) of a Nation," foments and disseminates. Our citizens will not forget the local white K. P. for permitting the showing of the rotten play in their temple, but will "pay the price" for enabling K. P. to public office in this city, county or state. If they wish to trail along with the disloyal Klan, as indicated, they must take the consequences we shall visit on every member of their organization when opportunity affords. Meantime, our people are greatly encouraged over the success of their time! efforts to improve the Klan from Memorial hall, owned by all the tax-payers of this county. Aggressive, loyal, able and resourceful members of the race, like the editor of The Gazette, will be needed in the next Ohio legislature. Weaklings and "jim-crow Negroes" won't do, because the Ohio Klan has organized and begun the fight, already to promote "jim-crow" and to promote our "jim-crow" marry whom we please, in common with all other citizens of this state and country. Our friend, Dr. C. W. Evans, was re-elected a member of the local school-board at the recent election, the only one of his group who was successful.

Walt's explanation of his "radicalism," to be found elsewhere in this paper. Interesting and very pleasing. Do not fail to read Stuart Bell's splendid tribute to the Afro-American member of Ohio State University's football team, to be found in the sport news department elsewhere in this paper. It is exceptional and really remarkable in this day and time, even when fully deserved. However much one may differ from the Communists oftimes as to their way of doing things, he cannot fail to give them credit for their persistence in their efforts to help not only the Scotsboro, Ala. victims but also that Maryland member of the race who is on trial in Baltimore for his life as the result of "framed" murder charges. Dr. F. W. Walz, Cleveland's best councilman and an avowed candidate for mayor, said recently that County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller, Democratic candidate for mayor, hadn't sent any one to the Ohio penitentiary because of the land scandals, which is the truth; and also that if former Councilman Listen Schooley, (a Virginia "cracker") hadn't plead guilty he, too, would still be "walking the streets of Cleveland." And this is the truth, too. The foregoing is especially interesting and illuminating in that it gives one a line on Councilman Walz's estimate of Ray's ability. And both of them are Democrats, too. MISERABLE KU KLUX KLAN. Our people of Springfield, Ohio have not only won a second victory over the Ku Klux Klan of their community but have three victories to their credit, the first one being the "Fulton school fight" of some years ago, for it was a "jim-crow" school-effort fomented and promoted by the Ku Klux Klan of that community. However, their recent victory, in compelling the Clarke county commissioners to bar the miserable Ku Klux Klan play, "The Great American Tragedy," from Memorial hall, Springfield, calls attention to the fact that the Ohio Klan is already building their platform upon which they intend to stand and work aggressively for the passage of two laws in particular—one in favor of "jim-crow" schools and the other against intermarriage. This last effort is the more vicious of the two because a law against intermarriage leaves all of our girls and women, who are assaulted or in any such way taken advantage of by white brutes, perfectly helpless to secure any kind of justice under the law. All of which makes it clear, thus early, not only that our people of Ohio are not organized to combat the Ku Klux Klan effort mentioned but are apparently just about as sound aleep and careless of their citizen rights and privileges as it is possible for the group or class to be. We must have in the next Ohio legislature aggressive, loyal, able and resourceful race representation as well as lobbyists, backed by the strongest state organization it is possible for us to effect, and soon, too. If we fall in this, we shall lose and the Ku Klux Klan win. We sincerely trust that the thoufal, loyal and intelligent members of the race, throut the state, will give this matter immediate, earnest and prayerful consideration because it is of transcending importance to all in every community of the state of Ohio. WAKE UP! WE WERE RIGHT, AS USUAL. The Gazette was the only paper in this country that, at the time of Prof. Herbert A. Miller's dismissal from the faculty of Ohio State University, credited his notorious mis-treatment to Ku Klux Klan inta ence upon the board of trustees of that state institution. Dr. Miller, in his address before the City Club in Hotel Hollenden, this city, Saturday noon, referred to the board as "puppets of the Ku Klux Klan element" and spoke the truth! The unsatisfactory local daily newspaper accounts of Dr. Miller's address were such a disappointment to the general public as to be almost painful. All because of his attitude on the race question. Here again we see the damphol American prejudice and the influence of the Ku Klux Klan element made manifest. "NEGRO DEMOCRATS." Ever since election, we have wanted to call the attention of the many readers of "The Old Rellable" Gazette to a fact that was made so prominent at the recent election that it ought to make a wonderful impression upon the few "Negroes" in this community, and elsewhere for that matter, who before election love to refer to themselves as "Democrats." The fact is, the small, almost insignificant vote the so-called "Negro" Democratic candidates in the third councilmanic district polled. Of the thousands of votes cast by Democrats in that district, Mrs. Arneita Rodgers received less than 200; Rev. Ribbins, less than 300; Walter Brown, the veteran "Negro" alleged Democrat, less than 400, and G. C. Lacy, less than 600, their total vote being less than 1400. Not even one white Democrat seems to have voted for any of them. Votes of other candidates, given to them in the P. R. count after election day, which increased their totals a little, were not cast for them, and are not and should not be considered in the above figures. "Negroes" are alright with Democrats (white) before election day, it seems. "Twas ever thus! DOINGS OF THE RACE. Send your subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette, at once. Do not delay longer.

Those of our people who went into the "peanut gallery" of the Shu-bert-Belasco theater, Washington, D.C., recently, to see Ethel Waters in the play, ought to have been kicked out of the "jim-crow" show house. RADICALISM. Councilman Walz Explains His and Incidentally His Important Information Editor The Press: Since announcing my candidacy for mayor it has come to me from various sources that some good people call me a radical. Now if jealousy guarding the right of the common people: If fighting for the economical expending of the taxpayers' money; If being for the proper method of expanding our municipal light plant; If being for a proper garbage plant properly located and serviced be "radical." I plead guilty to the charge. If taking the lid off the land scandals; If saving for the city the 66 acres of the Bath street tract, which within a few years will be immensely valuable for the necessary harbor construction when the Welsh government completed it "radical." I am again guilty of the charge. I am no Bolshevist, Communist, or Socialist, but would do all in my power to protect the humbest individual of our community against exploitation by the money grabbers. Yes, I believe as I told the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce of a special Council committee recently, that the victims of our economic and industrial system should be legally cared for by its beneficiaries rather than by charity. If that is "radicalism" I plead guilty. And if fighting relentlessly for what I honestly believe to be right is to be "opinionated," I plead guilty to the latter charge alone. W. Walz.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching for 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 of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race will enjoyment of the accommodations andages facilities or privileges therein 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 five hundred dollars to the person 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. A GREAT EVENT!

TAMING LONGSHOREMEN New York City. — Once upon a time it was considered unsafe—and probably was indiscreet — for ladies to be alone about the wharves where the longshoremen did their work. Word is now going about that the once vicious and vituperative longshoreman is extinct. His place has been taken by a thoroughly reliable, respectful, and not so outspoken modern worker. The modern working girl, too, has invaded the region of the wharves in her quest for earning her own living by stenography, clerking, or any task of work capable. The longshoreman is a class of WHY DON'T YOU DIP IT IN GASOLINE AND FIND OUT WHAT COLOR IT IS?

Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-eight years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country.

Blossom a “hot one,” one day last week, when he had his secre- tary leave instructions with Blos- som's secretary that “Thereafter the director (Blos- som) was to leave word where he had gone and when he would re- turn,” during office hours. Some- thing unheard of in the long history of the City Hall, Burton can make himself very popular indeed with the 50,000 Afro-Americans in this community by letting Blossom out at the first opportunity which surely will not be long coming now be- cause Dud will hardly pay the act- ing mayor's instructions the atten- tion they are entitled to. He and his wife have too much money for that. Any “brother” or “sister” who thinks, or ever thot, that “Sister” Pridgeon is a “quitter” has only to read the following: A committee on organization met at Atty. Louise J.

I believe that in fairness to the state, I am justified in my preference of cases involving colored defendants.” In the face of the foregoing painful admission, a discussion is absolutely unnecessary because it is apparently clear that Minor's ap- pointment was one of those pesti- ferous “special” or “jim-crow” ones which, in justice to the members of the race in this community, he ought to resign, instanter.

Let "em play. They are harm- ing no one.” We cannot understand such an attitude. It is much the same as if one, coming across a “drunk lying in the gutter” should say to him “stay there” instead of offering him a helping hand. At any rate such an attitude is a discredit to a leader if not a reflection upon his political wisdom.—Cleveland Call-Post. Since it was “The Blossom Trip- let” Bundy who voiced the above, if memory serves us correctly, the foregoing very pertinent comment must be meant for him. The Kroger Chain Store Co. which has 26 stores in the Centrai Ave. district, on Nov. 8 notified James D. Turner, manager of its store at E. 43d St. and Central Ave., that he had won first prize for hav- ing the largest sales report for the week preceding, and that he would be promoted to a supervisorship of Kroger stores on Jan. 1, 1932. This was the result of his excellent sales record, and management. All Atro- Americans holding jobs with the Kroger company were placed as a result of the initiat efforts of the Economic Race Development society of this city of which Milton G. Rob- erson is secretary. A full and com- plete statement of this fact will be found elsewhere in this paper.

KNOCKING—a slang expression generally meaning something said that is derogatory, an adverse criticiam, or a reflection upon a person's ability, character or repu- tation. 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 mis- taken idea that it is dishonorable to “knock” anybody, those who could expose the crook fail to do so. In con- sequence, 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 vie tims. They are beaten out of money through loans, mis- representation or stock transactions, then under the mis- taken idea of loyalty, they say nothing or only whisper about the affair, instead of “erying 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, EDITOR W. P. DABNEY. Cincinnati Union.

(Prepared by the National Geographic) what the Union Pacific did for the IT IS an unusual year in which Manchuria does not produce an upset in Far Eastern affairs. In 1929 there was friction between Chinese and Russians over the management of the Chinese Eastern railway of northern Manchuria—friction that brought a threat of war. Now Manchuria is the scene of grave difficulties between Japanese and Chinese, and again a railway is at the bottom of the trouble. This time it is the South Manchuria railway, owned and operated by a Japanese corporation. In a struggle centering around the railroad property near Mukden, capital of Manchuria, both Chinese and Japanese lives have been lost. The world has grown to expect excitement from Manchuria; for in that country, as in Egypt and Mexico, it seems that drama never dies. From hereabouts, before Columbus was born, rode a Mongol horse to conquer Asia and harass Europe. From here, scaling the Great Wall which timidid Manchus had raised against them, came giant Manchus to oust the Mings and found a new dynasty at Peiping (Peking). Crossing the sea in clumsy junks 1,200 years ago, the same bold Manchus took tiger and leopard skins,ermine, and wild ginseng to trade with Japan for silks and brocades. Later, when the near-world empire of Kubai Khan rolled from the Yalu to the Danube, a Mongol fleet of a thousand ships sailed against the shoguns, only to be smashed by "God's Wind" on the coast of Kyushu. Here, through turbulent years, three ancient empires met—the Bear, the Dragon, and the Rising Sun. Their struggles shook the earth. Korea succumbed, absorbed by the Rising Sun; the Dragon mothered Manchuria. War mangled the Bear, and to the north rose an evanescent Far Eastern republic. Two Great Events Yet in all its repertoire of high adventure—political, martial, and economic—two events loom largest in the stirring story of Manchuria. They sway not only the destiny of ancient Manchuria itself, but they affect the fortunes and the future of Japan, China, and Russia. These events are the coming of the Russian-built railways, and the immigration of millions of Chinese farmers. In the last three decades these forces, railways, and immigrants, have jumped Manchuria ahead by 1,000 years—moved her from a region of feudal lords, bandits, and nomad herdsmen to a land of huge trade and agriculture. In many aspects strangely like part of the American West. So swiftly these changes have come that very often old and new still clash in oddly visual violence. Thus now, across South Manchuria, you may ride a crack train, smooth, shiny, and fast as any Broadway limited or Frisco flyer—a solid train it is, of American manners, drawn by a big Baldwin locomotive made in Philadelphia—yet from its observation car you may see peasants pushing wheelbarrows with sails on them—a type of vehicle old in China when Confucius was a baby. Steam shovels made in Milwaukee are moving mountains; Yankee tractors, jecking a fleet of plows, scurry across the virgin plains, past walled hamlets where yellow men scratch garden patches with wooden hoes, as on Bible times. Developed by the Railway. As early as 1630 Russia, of course, had found her way to the Amur. By 1800 she had acquired the vast Maritime province, a veritable empire, stretching from the Ussuri river to the Sea of Japan and composing an area as big as Mexico. Across this domain, in the 1800's she was pushing her great Trans-Siberian railway to strike the sea at Vladivostok. But, as the map shows, the original Siberian road, to reach Vladivostok over Russian territory, had to run a roundabout course along the Amur valley and via Khabarovsk. Six hundred miles would be saved if the Russians could build directly from Chita, on the Siberian road, straight southeast across Manchuria to rejoin the Trans-Siberian system near Pogranichnay. On the heels, then, of her friendly gesture in 1855, when Russia aided China to regain the area lost to Japan at Shimonoseki, the Bear asked the Dragon for the right to build a railway across Manchuria; and, by agreement signed September 8, 1895, that concession was granted. From it dates the rise of modern Manchuria. That line and that original branch of it, now called the South Manchuria railway, with the economic rights they carried, were to do for Manchuria. what the Union Pacific did for the American West. Like magic, these new railways were to turn a wild, thinly popped nomad land into a modern Canaan, a granary of the East, drawing new settlers at the rate of anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 in a single year. Because of its conspicuous importance and its vast influence on migration, industry, and agriculture, it is worth while to review the development of this railway and of its extension, the South Manchuria railway. All over the civilized world, newspaper readers know this famous line now as the Chinese Eastern railway. By the terms of the original agreement, signed between China and the Russo-Chinese bank (later the Russo-Asiatic bank), it was to be a joint enterprise. The Cairn's engineers built it and the Russians had charge of its shops, maintenance, and technical operations; but Chinese were supposed to share equally with Russian directors in its general management. When completed, in June, 1903, it had cost in excess of $290,000,000. Of this cost, China supplied about $5,000,000 and shared, proportionately, in its profits. Towns Became Busy Cities. When finished, the main line of the Chinese Eastern ran from its terminus at Manchhul, one the northwest border of Manchuria, to Pogranichnaya, on the eastern boundary. From Harbin, now a busy, important city and then a mere fishing village on the Sungari river, a branch line was dropped south to Daihun, now Daiher, on the Bay of Korea. Most of this section, or that part from Changchun south to Daiher, is now known as the South Manchurian railway. Daihy was literally a magic city. Built quickly, by imperial command, it was the talk of the Far East. On this barren, then empty, point of rocks, engineers, architects, and workers of the Czar spent millions of rubles to build wharves, streets, business blocks, and houses for a population yet to come. A magnificent vision, that—the vision of a great seaport, terminus of a 5,453-mile railway tying Europe to the Orient. How observers laughed, at this amazing spectacle—vast trainloads of tools, food, tents, work animals, scrapers, and building material being dumped on a rocky shore of faraway Asia to build a city where there were no people! Yet today Dainy, Dairen, is the second or third most important seaport on all the China coast. In Manchuria something is always happening! It happened again in 1904, when Japan fought Russia. One saw the holes in the armored sides of escaping Russian battleships—holes big enough to lead cows through, holes made by Togo's guns in Tsushima strait. Port Arthur, the impregnable, fell; ancient Mukden echoed and shook under the heaviest gunfire Asia had ever known. Kuropatkin lost—and President Roosevelt mediated. In the peace conference at Portsmouth, N. H., Russia ceded to Japan her lease on the Liaotung peninsula and possession on the South Manchuria railway as far north as Changchun. China confirmed this and later extended Japan's lease for a period of 90 years. But in Manchuria drama never dies, Tragedy, stark and terrible, stalked across the East when Imperial Russia collapsed. Refugees by the thousands, fleeing the horrors of postwar political chaos in Siberia, came east to beg, borrow, or starve in neutral Manchurian towns. After Russia's Collapse. In this chaos the Allies took over the operation of the Chinese Eastern railway. From their base at Vladivostok they needed it to move men and supplies. An American engineer, famons for his work on the Panamana canal, was in charge. Later, the newly formed Soviet government took Imperial Russia's old place as partner with the Chinese. In 1924, by a new treaty, China enjoyed an equal share with the Soviets in the profits of the railway. It was agreed, too, that China should govern the railway zone inhabited now by many thousands of whites, and that each nation in the compact should refrain from propa ganda against the other's social and political systems. that, stripped of, details, is the brief story of the now famous Chinese Eastern railway up to June 11, 1929, when it was seized by the Chinese, its Russian personnel arrested, causing clouds of war once more to loom over this stage of so many historic strugles. This threat of war was later removed when Chinese and Russians again agreed to a joint management of the railway. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1931 SPORTS CLOTHES IN AUTUMN COLORS Brown and Heather Mixtures Are Preferred. Bright reds, blue and greens, which predominated in summer sports togs, have given way to brown and heather mixtures blending with the autumn colorings of golf links and moors. The ensemble idea is predominant. Coats are often unfurred, designed with snug scarf collars and roomy sleeves. Buttons are used both as fastenings and as cuff and pocket ornaments, while snug leather belts are seen on both frocks and coats. Firm jersey and lightweight tweed are the favorite fabrics for sports dresses. Dress bodices are simple, sleeves long and roomy and skirt moderately close fitting about the hips, releasing clusters of plaits near the kneeline. Coats which accompany these frocks are trig and trim. Patch pockets, raglan or kimono sleeves and wrap around collars distinguish their designs. Many of them are lined with wool of a contrasting color. TO MAKE A BOWLER Staudier Even the hand crocheted beret takes on a Eugenie influence. Roll your own now becomes wire your own as the beret develops into a bowler. The stitch is the same as that used for the roll your own berets, one of the easiest of all crochet stitches, and it may be of pearl crochet cotton or of fine mending wool which comes thirty yards to the card. The charming bowler model shown in the photograph is of the mending wool in brown and white. It required eight cards of the brown and one of the white, with a number four steel crochet hook. The brim is made by gradually increasing the rounds to the required width. The brim is wired with any fine covered wire, placed at the extreme edge, and worked over with an extra row of single crochet. The wire should be lapped over four inches or more so that it may be easily extended. It can then be tilted and rolled at a becoming bowler angle. FLASHES FROM PARIS Cameo lockets on gold chains are worn. Flared and perky basques achieve a new silhouette. Chic fur jackets show this influence as well as cloth tailleurs. Buttoned to the neck is the latest message for the blouse. Intriguing and novel styling marks coats which are half-in-half of cloth and fur. Velvets have aroused greatest interest, in which a note of luxury prevails. Throats to Be Covered Nearly normal necklines are novel features of both day and evening gowns for the coming winter wear. Throats ought not to be sore this season, for the smartest women are covering 'em up, at least in the front. Sports and daytime dresses have little turnover collars or button up very close. Cowl drapes are to be seen on a great many and have a tendency to hide the throat. V-necked afternoon dresses have scarfs that are folded or draped close to the collar bone. Evening gowns are definitely higher in front and very often in the back as well. Slim Wrists Inspiring Return on Short Gloves The one-button glove and the short gaulet are back in style. The vogue for slim wrists has caused the modi- mals to adopt short gloves again. Many of the newest designs are edged with an inch-wide band of fur at the wrist in keeping with the elegant mode. Fluffy Elouses Blouses of lace and chiffon are worn with the new fall and winter suits. Long Sleeves for Fall Long sleeves are the general rule for fall daytime dresses. NO REVOLUTION IN CLOTHES THIS FALL Fashion Gives Women Wide Latitude in Dress. Kathleen Howard, fashion editor, who has just returned from Paris, reports that while the autumn showings give women a wide latitude in dress, there will be no revolution similar to that which has taken place in millinery. "If you have always wanted to dress like Doris Keane in 'Romance', or if you know you would look ravisingly pert in a bustle and a trig hat, this is the year that you may easily satisfy your ambition," Kathleen Howard writes in Harper's Bazaar. "If on the other hand, you just want some clothes, and smart ones, there are plenty to choose from. Breathe a sigh of relief that there is no revolution in clothes, as was the dire prediction in the spring. "Skirt lengths for daytime are as you will, from shortish to longish. Skirts for evening, from Patou's three inches above the ankle, to trains, Waists, normal. Sleeves all the way from leg o' mutton, (rather serious this, and not to be adopted lightly) to tight fitting; and for evening, tiny puffs or none at all. Colors—your favorites; they are all represented. Dark evening dresses in satin's important stiffness, or sparkling, frothy pale ones. Evening coats stopping at the waist, again halting at the knees, or going authoritatively on to the floor. "Velvet makes its grand gesture everywhere; satin, lace, crepe, chiffon and some lame were seen in every collection for evening dresses. There was always the note of purple in its varied shades, but—caution is advised, so few skirts are happy next to it. "We may still wear black if we like, and browns, greens, reds, beige, black and white, and some dark blues have been indorsed for daytime." By CHERIE TICHOLAS Not only is the contrast theme made much of in daytime freaks, but for evening gowns the theme is being exploited with flattering success. Perhaps no alliance of fabric spells a more glamorous beauty than does supple, sheer and colorful metal cloth together with velvet in rich handsome tones. The model pictured is typical of the season's trend to contrasts. This distinguished model combines gold hame with ivon's velvet. TIMELY FASHION TIPS Because of broad shoulders, hips are made to look narrower. Height accented by quills is a feature of the latest sports berets. Designers declare the outstanding importance of fur-trimmed novelty woolens and velvet in jacket-suit silhouettes. The fashion-wise are wearing eggshell felt hats with fetching little veils. Suede jackets top wool frocks in contrasting color. Satin Jumps Into the Lead for Evening Wear Satin is first for evening. It falls so readily into the lines of the evening silhouette and makes for elegance without much adornment. Velvet is next in favor, either the bustrous transparent variety or the heavy dress velvets which achieve so much line and take so much wearing. Semisherm crepes are popular in bright colors because of their dull, shadowless surface, and canton crepe, lace and mandal cloth are employed in numbers of evening gowns, although they are of lesser fashion importance. White Velvet Very intriguing is a little turban made of white velvet and worn hannily over one eye with much half visible upon the other side. It is trimmed with tucking, and is ever so chic. CHASTENED! 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 tenths of color can not and will not forget this fact which can only be atoned for in the coming two years who refused on Nov. 3, 1931, to vote for "The Blossom Triplets" Councilman George, Payne and Bundy, are entitled to the praise who did everything in his power, as about everybody in this community this community. The fact that "The PETER H. BURTON "The Blossom Triplets" 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 then, it is proper to say at this time, as it will prior to Nov. 3d, that their claims of accomplishments for the race were in a large degree 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 should have concentrated upon first 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 bledges to our people of the fourth, third and fifth districts, and the city, "to do all in their power to help out Color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom." Instead of doing this, they helped A. 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 son on him at the city hall in an effort to convince the trance 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 misreatment method out to our people of the United States, and gravated the fact that Councilman 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 prejudice, which has characterized its work 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 Berstein of the 12th Ward, two of those most proud people in that section of the city, the "meal tickets" of hundreds of them for many months. Under cover "The Triplets" have kept up George DUDLEY S.BLOSSOM UNDY ELECTED AS THE PORT OF THE LOCAL ORGANIZATION. Again Next Year and Con-Finkle, Republican Floor-Council?—Blossom. ents of color can not and will not forget this fact which can only be atoned for in the coming two years by the right kind of action on their part and as suggested in the foregoing. The writer was among those who did everything in his power, as about everybody in this community knows, to encompass the defeat of PETER H. the opposition ever since, with the result that Mr. Finkle secured on Nov. 3d, the largest first-choice vote in the third councilmatic district while Payne of the same district was given a greatly reduced vote 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 times more than there are voters in them. Harry C. Smith. 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. This fair-dealing, square-shooting Mr. Grady informed the E. R. D. society that he would give us our own design manager. The Fisher contract is the offered in the city of Cleveland. But that happened? Mr. George called a mass meeting of 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". Whatever went on between Mr. George and Mr. Grady The Fisher Co. hired less than one dozen "Negroes" in the time they asked to give the full amount of representation, which according to their agreement, would have been about 100 of our persons or less. One hundred persons hired would relieve sufferings. The day before the conference mentioned was the first time the E. R. D. society knew Mr. George was opposed to seeing "Negroes" 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. George and let the Fisher Bros. and all other organizations operating in our community know that we contend for clean leadership.

After Read bscribe after Cool and Comfy THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES THIS summery jacket costume of navy blue georgette shows an interesting treatment of the white contrast mode. The one-piece dress has two small pleated ruffles outlining a strip of crystal buttons. White is repeated in straight white revers on the jacket and fish fin cuffs. White gloves, blue straw hat, blue and white kid bag and kid pumps to match complete the color theme. Smart and Girlish THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES BY EMMA LOU FETTA WE'VE seen this frock at several of the outstanding fashion events in the South this spring. Of course, it hasn't been the same frock because we saw it in california, too, and in Paris. Moreover, we've seen this little dress in pure white muslin embroidered in three tones of blue and pink durene embroidery; and again in pale lemon yellow embroidered in lettuce green durene; while, still again, it was turquoise blue organdy durened in bluish green and black. Every time it was on a different and a frightfully smart but sweet looking woman. Indeed, this is just the frock for women who can look amiable and very fashionable at the same time. The same vampié types should beware of lines so subduy girlish and colors so quaintly be-gulling. My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the sound bond. Of brotherhood is severed as the flax. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skim. Not colored like his own; and having power. To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause. Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade.
