Harrison the well-known star of the Green Pastures Co., and his co-workers were delightfully entertained, Dec. 25, 31 by Mrs. Annie M. Malone, head of the great Poro College, who keenly appreciated the fact that all of them with the possible exception of Mr. Harrison, were far away from their homes and loved-ones at that time. The beautifully appointed dining rooms at Poro were of course, made especially attractive for the occasion which was a social function long to come. Mr. Harrison pated, Mr. Harrison responded feelingly to the characteristically modest and yet heart-welcome of Mrs. Malone. The affair was featured by Mrs. Annie M. Malone. each member of the company arising, under the direction of youthful Walter Harris, master of ceremonies, and describing the part they played in "Green Pastures." This featured the dinner most satisfactorily. During his talk, Mr. Harrison praised the spirit of co-operation and amity which pervaded the company, saying: "We are just one big family and as we terminate this enjoyable stay in Chicago, we will carry away a memory of this delightful day, and an appreciation of the nobility of spirit which led this gracious example of noble womanhood to make it possible." The Poro employees staged a Xmas performance of their own, with an exchange of gifts, and Mrs. Malone presented each of those, who had served five years, a beanie, a pair of glasses, and members by various groups of employees who thus showed their appreciation of her "constant concern for their welfare" thru pretty gifts. At the close of the delightful affair, the children hurried away to the Poro theater where a beautiful Xmas tree had been prepared for them.

Columbus, O., Dec. 26, '31. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir;—I have been told you were thinking of running for Congressman at-Large, next year. If you do, I am with you and will try and get you some help. We need a man of your type—who is not afraid to fight. Would be glad to hear from you. Yours truly, John Fossett. Columbus, O., Dec. 6th, 1931. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir—I am sending the enclosed clipping from the "Sunday Dispatch" and hope that the candidacy statement it contains is absolutely true: "Since Ohio is to elect two Congressmen-at-Large, this fall, the very large population of colored people in this state, which numbers, according to the U. S. census of 1930, more than three hundred thousand, feel that at least one of the two should be a member of their race or group. The Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, their outstanding state figure in Ohio politics, for six years a member of the Ohio State Assembly, and their candidate on several occasions, in recent years, for the Republican nomination for Governor of various parts of the state to become a candidate for Congressman-at-Large. It will be recalled that about ten years ago Mr. Smith, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, his first effort to be elected to a state office, polled in excess of sixty thousand votes. Mr. Smith has edited and published The Cleveland Gazette for nearly fifty years and is the father of Ohio's Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching Law, and Ohio's Civil Rights Law, two measures of the greatest importance to his people in this state. The letter-requests, urging him to become a candidate for Congressman-at-Large, are addressed by Editor Smith who expects to announce his decision in the matter soon after the first of the year." To my mind it is the most important racial step that has been taken in years. It is highly opportune as it is taken immediately after one of those abnormal political upheavals in which my people played no small part and received scant recognition thereafter. Gov. Geo. White has made one Negro appointment since he came to the capitol—Roy White, messenger in his office. For a few weeks after his seating, the halls and corridors leading to his office were thronged with the "promised and expectant" of my folk, but a time was that no career and rarer. They are realizing the difference. He is seldom in his office, and I have observed that none of them seem to get farther than the messenger's desk. The Willforce contingent has not paid one visit. Compared to this was the almost daily visit of some Negro of worth, and his admission to the privacy of Gov. Cooper's inner sanctum. He made more outstanding Negro appointments than any other Governor "yellow" political life and that have been politically removed have been replaced by the other race. I could go on for pages in this letter, showing the differences, but such is not my aim. I want to write about you. I have thot about the congressional chance for days and scanned mentally the men we could present and how we could win. Strangely my thoughts were of you and my minute call" coo" the applause is a nouncement of your probable entry. Well, you are the man to present and you are the man that has the ability to represent our race, and if you can't win, no other can. I have been pondering over the style and manner of a winner's campaign and find the lessons I learned in fifteen years at Republican state headquarters are worthwhile. Every church, lodge, society organization, in fact every Negro in the 4,000 preps in the state should be informed of your candidacy. It is possible to do this. I will not write further other than to say I am enthusiastic and think you can win. Sincerely your friend. Bart J. Guyder. "Monitor" Cabin Boy Robbed. Worcester, Mass. — Although he survived the shot and shell of the historic encounter between the Monitor and the Merrimac during the Civil war. Thomas L. Taylor, age 86, cabin boy and "powder monkey" aboard the former, came out second best, last week Friday, at the hands of villains who beat him and stole it $73 from money. Taylor had displayed the device in a warrant while paying a check. He was born a slave, but escaped to Norfolk, Va., on a stolen horse. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SHOULD CENTER AROUND A BETTER DEAL TO BE SECURED FROM PARTY LEADERS BEFORE ELECTION, NEXT NOVEMBER. Prefers Negotiating With the Republican Party Defeat Prejudiced Candidates for Congress Who Do Not Defend and Try to Protect the Race. The prohibition amendment, however ideal it is, cannot be enforced by any civilized nation in the world, and especially by America. The thing to do with this amendment is to repeal the Volstod Act and allow prohibition and its amendment to take its chances along side of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution. This country cannot and will not enforce either the fourteenth, fifteenth or sixteenth amendments. Religion has not yet laid hold of the Church in America to such an extent that its followers will sacrificingly and heroically enforce any law that will place all races on equality before the law. The two outstanding political parties have practically become one on all the essential political tenets of this country. The Democratic party north is too weak to correct the evils of the Democratic party south in its denial of the franchise to an entire race, but this same northern Democratic party will wage a battle to get the distranchised peoples of the south who have come north, east and west, to support the enemy in the war, protect the nation, knowing that when the Democratic party is victorious in the nation, the bitterest political foes of the race will come into power; for southern Democracy rules the national Democratic party. Our voters of the nation are helping to disfranchise and humiliate themselves when they vote to put the Democratic party in power. If the Democratic party had the same Senatorial axe applied to the Senators of the south as was applied to Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania, there would not be four U. S. Senators from the entire south. The Republican party is too much afflicted with race bias to apply this test, furious with Senators, illegally elected, to hold their seats, since the unseating of these Senators would greatly benefit our voters of the south. At present both political parties are angling for southern white votes in the unconstitutionally governed section, and this disqualifies them to handle the country, as it is today. As this nation is governed by a two-party system, it is necessary for every voter who would have his vote count, to choose the lesser of the two evils. In doing this every voter should seek to purge his party of hypocrites and demagogues, now prevalent, and to replace them with the best men possible. A strong vote like Lincoln, Roosevelt or Mark Hammer, like the rest of the Republican party and lead fearlessly.

Ohio, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware, Massachusetts, Missouri can be swayed by this vote. It is now time for the Negro to learn political bargaining: We can live in America if a Democrat like Ben Till Dr. William A. Byrd. man be elected. It may be with much hardship; nevertheless, we could pull through. But our vote this time should center around a better deal for the Negro and we should secure this deal BEFORE election and not wait upon promises of action after election. The writer believes the Negro voter can get better results from the Republican party than the Democratic. To do this, we must elect or defeat all men, who aspire for Senator or Representative, who will not give us the same square deal they give other voters. The day has passed when we can afford to front from outside of the south by our votes, can sit in Congress and hear southern Senators and Representatives, illegally elected, denounce the race and force upon it every vicious charge, and not come to our defense and protection by speaking out and more especially by voting against our traducers. President Hoover has not given the race its representative share of appetitive offices. The reason: Senators from those states where we vote have not demanded a fair share for us. The trouble is not with Mr. Hoover but with our U. S. Senators. Let us cure this evil, before the next election! In addition, it is expected of every President to think kindly of and deal justly and fairly with every racial group in this country. We are not speaking about social affairs, but state affairs, where our votes demand what we are running into print saying what we are running into a political force we have planned together what and how to do in order to get what is ours. Let us organize, not for a few slush-fund dollars but for human rights long denied. The slush-fund fiends, let us refuse to bother with but placard them as "dollar-seekers for themselves at the expense of their own group. their own group (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. JUDGE LEVINE HONORED! Former Immigrant Boy Sworn In as Ohio's "First" Jurist—A Sterling Friend of the Race. Presiding Appellate Judge Manuel Levine was sworn in, Tuesday, by his colleague, Appellate Judge Carl V. Weygandt, as chief justice of the Ohio court of appeals, the highest honorary post conferred by Ohio jurists. The ceremony took place in the Cuyahoga district court. Judge Levine was elected to the post at the annual meeting of appellate judges last September in Columbia, successor to Francis Hamilton of Lebanon, a member of the Cincinnati district court. The post at one time was held by the late Appellate Judge John J. Sullivan, of this city. Judge Levine came to America as a Russian immigrant at the age of 16. He was admitted to the bar shortly after he finished working his way through W. R. U. law school. In succession he became police prosecutor, municipal judge, then common pleas judge. He was appointed to the appellate bench late in 1922.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1932. Happy New Year! The U. S. census for 1930 gives the Afro-American population of this city as 71,899, and our number of persons of voting age here as 47,953. What a powerful factor of the Republican party of this city they would be if they would only register and vote as they should. One of our esteemed contemporaries asks the question, "what will Democrats offer the 'Negro' in 1932?" Judging from experiences in the past, it doesn't make any difference what they will offer, because after the election they will refuse to "deliver", just as they always do in national, state and local affairs, and it is about time our leading newspapers, at least, were recognizing this fact. We trust everyone will read carefully and thatfully Dr. Wm. A. Byrd's splendid communication on the first page of this paper. It is an exceptionally fine message to all of our people of the country on a subject really vital to the progress of the race. It is high time that more attention is paid to the matter, he treats so well, and less attention to secular matters. Call your friends' and acquaintances' attention to it, too. Cab Calloway and his "orchestra", who were admitted, Tuesday night, to the "Lucky Strike" hour on the radio (NBC), were anything but a success and a great disappointment! No real music but plenty of howling and yowling—"Uncle Tom" stuff of twenty-five years ago. Unless there is very marked improvement immediately, they will hardly last long in the "Lucky Strike" hour. The Mills Brothers would please everybody, if substituted for Calloway and his "orchestra." A CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE The 1930 U. S. census gives the Afro-American population of Ohio as 309,304 and the number of Afro-Americans of voting age as 199,291, which really means that our state population is at least 325,000 and that our real number of voting age in Ohio is more than 200,000. Figuring from almost any angle our Ohio population and voting strength, this latter especially as a potent factor of the Republican party of the state, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the fact that we are entitled to one of the two Congressmen-at-Large to be elected in November next. If our men and women voters of this state would only register and vote as they should, they could easily bring about the nomination of one of their number, this fall, and elect him a member of the Congress to help represent the great state of Ohio and at the same time give them much-needed direct representation in that law-making body of the land. BLOSSOM VS. BUNDY. Can you imagine it? Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom has turned on one of "The Blossom Triplets". About two weeks ago, Councilman Roy Bundy introduced a resolution authorizing the building of a downtown hospital for emergency cases, giving the old claim that Charity hospital and the City hospital were unable to take care of all of them. At City Council meeting, Monday evening, Director Blossom smoote Bundy and his resolution "right on the proboscis" with the statement that there were 175 beds at City hospital empty because of lack of operating funds and recalled the fact that Lakeside hospital in its old location at Lakeside Ave. and E. 12th St. had taken care of 5,670 emergency cases, last year. How those 175 beds at City hospital would help? What became of last year's effort to load the old Lakeside hospital plant on the city, to be used as "a downtown hospital for emergency cases?" Wonder if Bundy is trying to boost this game and Ex-Councilman E. J. Gregg's downtown "jim-crow" hospital scheme of several years ago? Whether or no, the outlook for his effort just at this time does not seem to be very good, with the "economic depression" still with us and Blossom's 175 beds at City hospital empty because of lack of operating funds. By the way, this latter reminds us of the report circulated, last year, that Director Blossom had threatened to kick "The Blossom Triplets" out of his office at City Hall if they didn't stop hounding him for jobs which they claimed he promised them when they "double-crossed" their constituents of color in the third district, and the entire city, in the Blossom-ouster effort. DOINGS OF THE BACE. White convicts and criminals from England were among the first settlers of Georgia. Dr. H. D. Taylor was recently elected a member of the Windsor, Ontario, Canada, board of education. Wm. L. Wilson of Baltimore is first "cellist and assistant director of the Municipal Symphony orchestra of that city. Wm. L. Jones, age 65, last week Thursday at Mt. Holly, N. J., voluntarily confessed to having married 56 women in 37 years. Dec. 27, Lew Leslie's "Rhapsody in Black", starring Ethel Waters, opened a long engagement in the Barrick Theater, Chicago. On Jan. 16, "The Green Pastures", after a run of 160 performances in Chicago, will start a tour of the larger cities of the country. A native African, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, age 24, was awarded the bachelor of philosophy degree, last week, by the University of Chicago. John Hughson, chief messenger in the U. S. bureau of customs at Washington, D. C., has retired. He was a hero of the Johnstown floor in May, 1889. This fact secured him his appointment. Mrs. Judson Graine of Kalamazoo, Mich., was awarded, last week Wednesday, $2,500 damages against the Michigan Cab Co. and Leslie Kuley (white) as the result of injuries sustained in one of the company's taxi-cabs. James Banks (white), age 80, of a wealthy New England family and a graduate of Yale College and Harvard law school, left his wife, Mrs. Dolle Banks, a member of the race, independently rich. Mr. and Mrs. Banks left their home in Atlanta, Ga., and went to Chicago where they were married. July 27, 1927. According to a dispatch from London, Paul Robeson, the baritone soloist and actor de luxe, plans to discontinue his concert work, because of the strain on his voice, and to devote himself to radio work and a small theater in London where plays featuring him and "Negro" music will be given. This, after his 1932 American tour. The Mills Brothers, radio artists, who received $40 a week for their broadcasting work for WLW at Cincinnati, before going to New York City and soon after they left their home at Plaqu, O., now receive $2,000 a week from the N. Y. Paramount Theater and a like amount from their sponsors over the Columbia broadcasting system. HABITS. Guests and Hosts—Personal Cleanliness. It is imperative that every guest should look after his personal toilet. Slovenness in dress, failing to wash the face, neglecting to use the tooth brush, having dirt-filled finger nails and the weaving of soiled clothes are inexcusable errors. Often women go from their rooms and even to their meals wearing kimonos and bedroom slippers. There are many persons who forgo to wash out the bathhose or washbowl after using it. Women often are careless to the extent of using too much powder and rouge on their faces giving the appearance of uncleanness. And there are very, very many persons who fail to bathe and for that reason have body odor. A young woman went to visit a family of people who were very fond of her, but she was so sloven that after two days they wished she had not come. She dreaded the bath, was careless in regard to changing underwear; she would leave her soiled child in her arms and not clean her teeth nor wash her hair. The hostess had girls growing up in the home and was sorely displeased to have such an example set for them. Do you wonder that she was anxious to get this young woman out of her house? These Husbands of Ours Lack of Courtesy. One of the wonders of the world is how a man changes after he is married—in this matter of courtesy. Courteous and gallant "before taking", he becomes woefully negligent and careless "after taking". Before marriage Mr. Average Man would not think of allowing his girl to carry a package of any weight; he would assist and serve her to save her from inconvenience. But after marriage, he wants his wife to bring in the coal, to scrub the floor and to do all the drudgery. He calls her the "wucker vessel" "he puts these burdens on her." To any other woman in courtry, but would be derelict toward his own wife! But who can understand a man?—The Literary Service Bureau.

Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentuck) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years like Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Section 6289. This chapter cannot 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 Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894 Sec. 12340 Whoever violates the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-sharer, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, and services not less than fifty dollars not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941 Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per person 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON TEND, FOR HIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contendency in the years of universal discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then, will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and are not." The world respects only those who resent and resist progrinations for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

As harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. Yet its gentle action will soothe a youngest, more surely than a more powerful medicine. That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or small 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 vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed. Fletcher's CASTORIA AFTER 40 bowel trouble 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 with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor 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 gripe; will not sicken you or weaken you; can be used without harm as often as your breath is bad, or when your tongue is coated; whenever a headache, billious, gassy condition warns you of constipation.

Walz, candidate for mayor, last week Wednesday night challenged Peter Witt to produce his contract as traction adviser to the Van Sweringens "to let us all see how independent he is," at a meeting of the Cuyahoga County Veterans Association at 4421 Central Ave. Walz told the veterans that he would do all in his power to see that the city ordinance admitting our men and women to City Hospital as internes and nurses is rigidly enforced. A controversy developed over the appearance of Rev. D. O. Walker, pastor of St. James Church, a church, as an internexe of Witt. The troversy ended in the withdrawal of Dr. Walker and John Patterson, chairman of the meeting. Dr. Joe T. Thomas, political adviser of the organization, asked Dr. Walker if he were a citizen and declared that "only citizens ought to talk here." Walker answered in the affirmative and verbally attacked Thomas as "intermate in his remarks." Several veterans sprang to Dr. Thomas' defense, and Dr. Walker eventually withdrew. In addition to the many beautiful Christmas greetings received, last week, by the editor of The Gazette, others received, this week, were from the following good friends: Mr. and Mrs. D. E.

Jones, Messrs Maurice Landers and Homer G. Cox Councilman Roy Bundy will again oppose the Cleveland Bank Club's offer for the use of the Stadium. The new terms are to be submitted to Council immediately. He says: "I am absolutely opposed to the $50,000 minimum rental and to the ball club's refusal to let the city share in profits from concessions. The new offer seems to me little if any better than the old." While other members of Council are slow in expressing an opinion on the suggested lease, it is the general feeling at City Hall that Council will not approve without a protracted fight. Last summer the terms were formed and finally refected when former City Manager D. E. Morgan and Acting Harold H. Burton, then law director, said the price was insufficient. Under terms tentatively agreed to by Burton and President Alva Bradley of the club, the minimum rental will remain at $50,000, but the city starts to share in gross local gate receipts at $675,000 getting 10 per cent up to $825,000, then 15 per cent to $1,000,000 and 20 per cent above that. The earlier offer was 15 per cent above $725,000. Under these new terms the city will be paid 25 cents for each free pass and the club retains the right to cancel the lease at the end of three years if playing conditions prevent continuing. JOHN P.

Ronald McDonald that this would be a happy solution of the problem of the appointment that would give very general satisfaction in the end. The Rounder feels that Councilman Roy Bundy's continued opposition to the city's acceptance of the Cleveland Baseball club's offer for the use of the stadium, during summer seasons, on the ground that the proposition submitted by the ball club officials is not what it ought to be, is to be commended for several reasons. One is that the offer of $50,000 minimum rental, etc., with a refusal to let the city share in the profit and should not be accepted by City Council. The ball club's latest offer is but little better than the one it made last summer which was refused by former City Manager D. E. Morgan and Acting Mayor Harold H. Burton, then law director, who said at the time that it was insufficient. Under terms tentatively agreed to by Burton and President Alva Bradley of the club, the minimum rental will remain at $50,000, but the city starts to share in gross local gate receipts at $675,000 getting 10 per cent up to $825,000, then 15 per cent up to $825,000, then 15 per cent above.

Philadelphia saw the Centennial close before a railway crossed the Yuma desert, and Europeans by millions had migrated to our shores when Arizona boasted barely as many whites as New York now has policemen. Dewey had sunk Montojo in Manila bay and old Chief Geronimo was selling signed pictures of himself for ten cents each at the St. Louis World's fair when Arizona had barely emerged from her long social pandemonium of road agents, gold seekers, and fugitives from eastern justice. Yet Spaniards had settled here, bringing the first cattle seen on our continent, introducing new plants, and teaching Pimas and Hopis to be better farmers, before the first English settlements were made in our eastern states, Tucson was old when Daniel Boone cut his name on a tree in Tennessee where he had killed a bear. In awe Cardenas of Coronado's expedition lifted up the cross at the Grand canyon scarcely 50 years after Columbus reached America. Across Arizona Kearny led his army to California and Forty-niners fought their hard, hot way. Kit Carson battled here and Lieut. E. F. Beale made his famous experiment with imported camels as pack-trains in the Southwest—until infuriated prospectors shot the camels because they stamped their burros. But killer Indians, the difficulty of hauling in goods, and preference for California kept colonization down. As late as 1800, all the whites in Arizona probably numbered less then 5,000. Railways Brought Advancement. Then Civil war. From it Arizona received a further setback that lasted until railways finally came, hauling in mining machinery, and judges, law books, and locks for jail doors. Thus, after years of neglect, the nation that owned the territory gave it law and order. Arizona's white population, not including Mexicans, has increased by 600 per cent since the Spanish-American war and its wealth has multiplied maybe twenty times. Lonely cow trails are changed to crowded motor lanes, and million dollar hotels faunt their splendor where 'dobe huts and desert skies were long man's only shelter. Now, to see modern Arizona whole, look hastily at its map spot and at high lights in its astounding past. Under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the United States acquired land only as far south as the Gila river; by the Gadsen purchase, in 1854, it received the rest of that terra incognita later called Arizona territory. A few studious Americans, delving in early Spanish chronicles, learned that explorers like Cabeza de Vaca and Coronado, and early missionaries like Father Kino had found here "rivers with banks three leagues high" and mines rich enough to yield a silver nugget so heavy that two mules were lashed together to carry it! From beaver trappers, too, who had ventured down the Colorado, tales of Arizona's scenic wonders, and especially of its warlike Apaches, had been brought back. But to most Americans practically nothing was known of Arizona; it was too hard of access. This inaccessibility, the character of the country itself, and its savage inhabitants kept Arizona for decades the most backward of all our territories. Early Stage Lines. Buying Arizona was folly, Eastern people said; its arid wastes were useless. Yet surveys began to show that, for all its evil deserts, it had big rich spots of much value; also, now that it belonged to us, we were free to make roads across it, to tie up Texas with southern California. Yet for twenty years after the Gadsden purchase Arizona communicated with the outside world largely by water. Ships ran from San Francisco to the mouth of the Colorado river, via the Mexican ports of Mazarlan, La Paz, and Guaymas. A semimonthly mail and passenger stage line was started in 1857 from San Antonio to San Diego; but at times it cost the government $65 to carry each letter! A year later the historic Butterfield stages began running between St. Louis and San Francisco. An early writer says: "This was one of the grand achievements of the age, to span the continent by a semiweekly line of stages, under bonds to perform, by sole power of horseless, a trip of nearly 2,500 miles within the schedule of 25 days." It was the trek of people from the South to the West after the Civil war that began to give Arizona population. Previous to that white men saw little of it, except the regions about Tucson, the Gila Bend, and Yuma, which lay along the Fortyniners' trails. Today passengers on fast trains through Arizona complain if the shower in the club car is not cool, or if the barber's razor is dull. But look out of the window. Those brush-grown mounds are graves of Apache victims. The sufferings of such pioneers from heat, hunger, and thirst, from Apache torture, were almost without parallel in the history of human enterprise. Arizona really began to grow up with the development of her mines by Americans. Quest for gold first brought white men here. Legendary gold-roofed temples of Cibola lured Coronado. He didn't find a golden Cibola. But for generations Spain helped pay the huge cost of her glittering European armies with gold and silver from Arizona and Sonora mines. From the Tough Nut, the Glory Hole, and other claims incredible wealth was taken, before a subterranean river drowned the miners out. Vast Fortunes in Copper. More than $100,000,000 worth of copper has been taken from one Arizona mine. Fears that when mines were worked out Arizona might decline in wealth and population have been allayed since the World war. There are two reasons: First, the increase of farm settlers under new irrigation projects; second, discovery of ways to mine and smelt copper at lower cost. Where low-grade copper ore occurs in great masses near the top of the ground, as at Blisebe, miners simply blast and use steam shovels. More than 1,000,000 tons of rock have been broken by one "shot." One can grasp the size of Arizona's mining industry when it is known that the state employs more than 25,000 men and digs each year 675,000,000 pounds of copper, 17,500,000 pounds of lead, 6,000,000 ounces of silver, and $5,000,000 in gold. The annual mineral output sells for more than $100,000,000. Irrigation in this region is old, Corna, beans and squash were watered by gravity ditches centuries ago. Mormons from Utah, settling near where Phoenix now is, made use of prehistoric canals. All over Salt River valley men dig up stone implements, relics of ancient farmers. It seems quite natural, then, that here America's modern irrigation policy should have been first tried out on a big scale. It was here with the Roosevelt dam that the then newly formed reclamation service made its first big experiment, begun in 1906. It worked. Today there is the great Yuma project; the big new dams at Horses Mesa and Mormon Flat, and the new multiple-dome Coolidge dam on the Gila river, near San Carlos. At present about 4,400 Pima Indian farmers, with 50,000 acres, are the chief beneficiaries. But, to make the project practical economically, it also waters an equal area owned by white farmers near Florence and Casa Grande. Under her new irrigation projects, Arizona's greatest economic need now is for more farmers with capital to live on until they make crops. But always, where the last irrigation ditch ends, the hard, hot, thorny desert begins. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1932. Floor-Length Coats for Evening Floor-Length Coats for Evening By CHERIE NICHOLAS Pagano WE LOVE the fanciful little jacquettes which have so persistently been holding the center of the stage this many a night and many a day, but oh! you full-length velvet wrap, your grace and your elegance as noted among grand opera audiences and at functions of like formality are at the moment taking the world of fashion by storm. Not that the winsome and novel shorter wraps have passed out of the picture, not by any means, for the younger generation know too well their flattering to lightly discard them, but when it comes to fashion's latest gesture, it is the velvet wrap in full-length versions which is registering a new style point of vital interest. These long velvet wraps which are the center of attention at every formal social event carry a grand dame air about them which is very impressive and which bespends the dawn of a new era for the silhouette which is of regal bearing. Another message of importance which they convey is the fact of the leadership of soft velvet for evening wear. It is not alone the majestic silhouettes, with their wide sleeves and definite waistlines, which intrigue the eye, but variety of color adds to the fascination of these gorgeous wraps. Some of the very loveliest are fashioned of snow white or ivory white velvet, or perhaps pale beige which is a color in high favor with the smart Parisienne, Dark furs contrasting these pale velvets give a chic accent, although white fur on white velvet is proving a theme of infinite charm in the realm of the formal evening wrap. Of course, black velvet loses none of its prestige since it perhaps outnumber the color units, which include tins and tins ranging from pastels to hues of red. RIGHT FOR FLYING I This orange-colored leather jacket with matching helmet and cloth skirt is just right for flying. To shield the wearer in the colder regions, the jacket is lined with lapin, with collar and lapels of the same beige-colored fur. Waists Are Correct Now; Women Tighten the Belt Waists now are considered correct and women are beginning to tighten their belts. Instead of achieving a slim waist by tight facing with the risk of fainting fits as in former days elastic now performs the feat much more comfortably. New cloth and fur coats emphasize the tendency by having a narrow belt which is drawn closely around the waist and add to this simply fashion. dark green and other effects of dazzling beauty. The new idea of employing velvet in striking contrast is interpreted very effectively at times, such as in the instance of the handsome coat shown to the right in the picture. For this evening wrap of distinctive elegance, black transparent velvet is draped in Victorian manner, a slightly pointed train adding to its gracious dignity. It is luxuriously adorned with a large cape-like collar of white transparent velvet bordered about with sumptuous silver fox. This wrap is worn over a white satin gown, the costume entire sounding a note of high fashion. The wide-above-the-waistline effect which we are hearing about in connection with that which is latest is achieved through graceful dolman-cut sleeves in the model plured to the left. Collared with exquisite Russian sable this stately wrap reflects the quiet elegance which is typical of the new full-length velvet coats which are being so enthusiastically acclaimed in the mode. Outstanding on the program of coats which are full length and made of velvet are many stunning models which are sans fur, their claim to distinction being a fine artistry of "lines" acquired via subtle and intricate biscuit sections which molds the garment to the figure. The sleeves and collars of models of this genre are a mass of ornamental shirring and other cunningly devised arrangements of velvet. The picturesque quality in evening wraps of this description is accented, which together with the fact that the velvet employed is often gorgeously colorful, tells a story of unusual charm for the evening coats which society will be wearing during the winter festivities.

And even if one eye is obliterated from view in the downward path of the brim, we see enough to know that our hat and costume is being duly admired. And that is the main thing. Very few hats just now are not brimmed, be the amount of brim ever so infinitesimal. Of course the turban is always with us, but the majority of women, being cognizant of the benign power of the brimmed line, are wise enough to avail themselves of its services. The big brim, of course, is out of the question with high fur collars, and even if this was not the case, the combination of the large hat with the be furred, lavish clothes of winter would be rather too dramatic. Bifurcated Skirts Are Fine for Active Sports Sponsors of the divided skirt are united in their determination to make it a success. If the pajama is not an overwhelming success in the ballroom, they do not despair. There is still left the field of sports, and what more suitable, say the designers of the bifurcated skirt, than such a garment for strenuous wear—for active participation in tennis or golf. We have consumes for golf, with skirts that conceal the bifurcation by clever, circular cutting. Cloche Standard Hat Worn Well Pulled Down The cloche, standard hat of the conservative woman for the last three years, has taken a tilted dip with the rest of the chapeau mode. The new fall cloche is wore pulled well over the right eye with a decided dent accenting the center of the brim. KADOWEL, THE GODDESS OF DANIEL L. MARIE MARIE CALLED CHRISTOPHER DANIEL L. MARIE MARCH 5, 1770. Crispus Attucks Monument in Boston, Mass., Common. Graceful in Elastic and Cotton I By EMMA LOU FETTA PERHAPS, at first glance, we don't look too modest with today's picture, but on second glance you will see that the young lady is much more clothed than if in a dress, and the stockings stockings which no longer see the light of day on any beach. For the remainder of her costume she wears an all-in-one foundation garment which demands special mention because it has the unusual facility of stretching both up and down. The exceptional elasticity of this garment comes from the curious make-up of the material which combines a new type of actually Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-American citizens is wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some money. We are especially desirable or hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette. 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. O., and we will be by sending us the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. AN OPPORTUNITY: "spun" rubber with that most elastic of the cottones, durene. The latter has exceptional luster not found in ordinary cotton. No wonder the maker has called this garment a sensation. Several more mature women with a "bit of a rubber tire" in the vicinity of the diphrigem have told us that this rubber does not boast a single bone, it has a firmness all its own which smooths out bulges in a very special and flattering way. So elastic and yet firm is the garment, that the garters possess not an inch of rubber, but are plain ribbon. 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. Wella. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." 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 natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To elevate 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. —Cowper. After Rea scribe after Editor. CAN THIS BE TRUE? Prof. Carter G. Woodson of Washington, D. C., in a release to our newspapers of the country, under date, Dec. 23, 1931, charges that our people have been eliminated from the great George Washington Bicentennial celebration to take place in that city beginning Feb. 11, 1932, and continuing until Thanksgiving of that year. It is to be a great demonstration in which hundreds of representatives from foreign countries are to participate. France will send many veterans of the World War, and other countries abroad are expected to do likewise. Some months ago, The Gazette called attention to the fact that the only American soldiers to be brigaded with the armies of foreign countries during the World War were those sent to Italy and the Afro-American regiments that fought with the French soldiers. Noticing that no attention at all was apparently being paid to our people in the many and varied preparations for the George Washington Bicentennial celebration, we called attention to the fact, because our soldiers who fought in France under French generals were very popular not only with them, and the French soldiers, with all of the people of France. When their comrades, particularly the French veterans of the World War, arrive in the nation's capitol, next year, naturally they will expect not only to be greeted by their Afro-American comrades, but to march side by side with them in the great parades of the celebration as they did in the World War. And this great pleasure should not be denied them even to cater to the damphool American racial prejudice. And what a position it would place this country, in, in the minds and hearts of the great French people and all other foreign countries, and what an outrage those in charge of the bicentennial celebration, backed by the Hoover administration, would commit upon all of our loyal veterans of the World War and their people! Beginning with Crispus Attucks, the first to shed blood in the struggle for the independence of this country, the "Negro" soldiers made a glorious showing throut the revolutionary war, fighting side by side with their white comrades in the battle of Rhode Island in 1778, and many other engagements of that war; then the heroic deeds of Peter Salem who struck down Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill; the "Negro" soldiers' part in the Battle of Monmouth when seven hundred of them, fighting side by side with white soldiers, rallied to the aid of General George Washington; when a "Negro", Salem Poor, under the command of Col. Barton in 1777, captured Col. Prescott of the British army at great peril when no other soldier dared to risk his life in the effort; and then the "Negro" who learned the countersign of the British army and thereby led the troops of Mad Anthony Wayne undetected within firing distance of the British at Stony Point, thus enabling them to carry the place by storm; also the "Negro" soldiers who on May 14, 1781, under Col. Greene at Points Ridge, sacrificed their lives to the last man before the British could subdue and kill their commander on that fortunate battle-ground. Knowing these things, and more, as they must, those in charge of the George Washington Bicentennial celebration must not fail to approach the matter of our representation in that great affair in a PROPER way. They must not allow their fool-prejudice to prevent them from doing the very proper thing, as seems to be their intention, according to Prof. Carter G. Woodson who claims they have recently associated with them a few "jim-crow Washington Negroes" who are undertaking to appease our people of the country by having a "special day" for their participation in the affair and by otherwise segregating those of our people who may attend the George Washington Bicentennial celebration at the nations' capitol, next year. This would amount to an outrage which could only place this entire country in a most ridiculous light in the minds and hearts of all representatives of foreign countries, particularly those from France. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revil us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. Subscribe NOW!
