PAUL ROBESON Reminds One of the Great Chaliapin Packed London Theater to the Doors—London Daily Express' Great Praise. Paul Robeson, who will appear in concert at Music Hall, Public Auditorium, March 10, "is almost as tall as Chaliapin and his singing makes GARY you think of Chaliapin all the time. His voice has all the power of Chaliapin's and practically the same range but here the likeness ends. Paul Robeson's voice is all honey and persuasion, yearning and searching, and probing the heart of the listener in every tiniest phrase. A rich, generous, tender voice that couldn't say a bitter word or a biting sentence in a whole life-time of the Toronto Evening Telegram after Robeson's sensational concert in that city, last November. For Mr. Robeson is the greatest interpreter of spirituals, in addition to classic lieder, on the concert stage of Europe and America. He was born in Princeton, N. J., and educated at Rutgers College where he not only won the Phi Beta Kappa key as a reward for supreme scholastic industry but also in sports. In football the late Walter Camp called him "the greatest defensive-end that ever trod the gridiron" and he made the 1917 All-America team. Paul next went to Columbia University but after receiving his degree at the Law School he yielded to the persuasions of Eugene O'Neill and played in the famous dramatist's production, "The Emperor Jones." There followed roles in "Bullet Boy," "All God's Charm" and "Borgy" and his stardom in "Show Boat" the Dirty Land Theatre in London where he packed the theatre to the doors. James Douglas writes in the London Daily Express: "I have heard all the great singers of our time. No voice has ever moved me so profoundly with so many passions of thought and emotion." His last appearance appeared at Carnegie Hall twice in one week and turned away thousands. Paul Robeson. THE SOLUTION OF RACE PROBLEM Rests in Education and Early Home Training of Child, Says Washington Editor. "The solution of the so-called race problem lies in the schools and at the knees of mothers. Race prejudice starts in the home with the mothers' failure to teach their children to appreciate the contribution of all races to civilization. newspaper magazines, and text books contribute to race prejudice when they distort the truth." This statement was made by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, of Washington, D. C., editor of our Journal of History and director of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, in an address, last week Wednesday night, celebrating our National History Week in Cleveland. He talked on the work of the organization under the auspices of the local branch, at St. James' A. M. E. church. "I do not think the work of inter-racial organizations can solve the problem." Dr. Woodson said. "The so-called solution must come from a systematic education in the real facts of our history and the conventions our people have made to civilization. If one姓 write all the history, its writers are bound to emphasize their side of it. Our people have been written out and written down in the history which has been taught in our schools and colleges. If the Afro-American child going through school does not get the facts of our history of the race, and if the white child does not get the facts of our history, you will have a race problem which will be hard to overcome." Miss Myrtle L. Johnson, secretary of the Cleveland branch, reviewed the facts of the local body during its first year. George W. Brown president of the local branch, presided. GRAND OPERA AGAIN! The Great Metropolitan Company to Visit Cleveland, This Year. Cleveland, from April 21 to 23, again will have the annual spring festival of grand opera by the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York. This will be the sixth of the series of opera seasons under the cooperative auspices of the Northern Ohio Opera Association and this city and the ninth annual visit of the Metropolitan to Public Auditorium, the feeling that every possible co-operative boutique will provide various relief agencies, the local committee for the opera has shortened the season from the customary full week to a season of four outstanding performances — Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening operas and an "All-Ohio" matinee, Saturday afternoon—April 21 to 23rd inclusive. Cleveland has set a record for the world in both attendance and number of Public Auditorium and the fact that nowhere else can one hear Metropolitan grand opera for one dollar. The final day of the 1921 season far surpassed any previous day of grand opera, with the matinee of "Peter Dibetson" drawing $31,000 and the evening performance of "Lucia de Lammermoor" more than $27,000. The operas, soon to be announced, reflect the expressed wishes of the final followers of opera of the entire state. Since the Metropolitan company may not show within 400 miles of Cleveland, opera lovers annually come here from all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. OPPORTUNITY FOR MARCH. Our first literary movement, an absorbing story of the quadroons of Louisiana by Charles Good, appears in OPORTUNITY for March. Another color-line article by Elmer A. Carter, the editor, tells the story of Slimma Campbell, young artist of St. Louis, and the associate editor of the Theatre Arts Monthly and author of "The Deep South," tells a pathetic story of the prophetess of Eutaw.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The White Man POSES AS AN "EXAMPLE" FOR OTHER RACES. Tribes in "Darkest Africa" More Moral and Law-Abiding Than the American—No Crime or Crime Waves—Marry Early and Govern Themselves Better. When the Cleveland Natural Science club held its annual meeting and dinner, recently, Mr. Arthur Fuller, chief preparator and ornithologist of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, was the speaker of the evening, intensely interesting the large audience, of exceptionally intelligent men and women, with his birding skills, and the folk, the wild animals and scenery he saw while in "darkest Africa" as a member of the White-Fuller expedition, writes Edna K. Wooley in the Cleveland Daily News of Feb. 17, '32. Continuing she said: "It was my good fortune to sit next to Mr. Fuller and in conversation with him, I learned a great deal more about the natives of that part in the world, in his life. In addition he gave me his opinion about various things in relation to the religion, customs and government of these people, as compared with our own. "We look upon them as a benighted lot of heathen," said Mr. Fuller. "In our white man's egotism, we think they are far beneath us in every way. But I found them a most intelligent people, living orderly and lawbinding lives. Differentiated and an unnumerated to our standards. But they have their own standards and they live up to them better than we live up to ours. They are a happy people, too, and very courageous. Courage and happiness both spring from their fatalistic belief, I think," he added. "For instance, they believe that if it is their time for a crocodile to get them when crossing an infested stream that it crocodile will live when it is their time, it won't get them. So they live where without fear, and they are happy because they don't worry. Each tribe is ruled by a council of the wisest old men in the tribe. Every member of the tribe bows to the judgment of this council. And the morality of the tribe is that whoever deprives another member of anything, whether it be a wife or a camel or some gewgaw, he must make good for it—pay back the money, money or seize. They live strictly according to this rule. Crime and crime waves, as we know them, are unknown among these natives. According to their light, they are a more moral people than we are." Boys marry at 15; girls are marriagable at the age of 12. Mr. Fuller told me. Contrary to the reports we so often hear from travelers who come in contact with these tribes, the women are not abused or unhappy, though they are the burden bearers as well as the child bearers. A girl child is taught by her mother to be useful from babyhood. She knows that she is to be a wife and mother. There are no other "career for women." She is ready with her mother until she is ready for marriage—about her twelfth year. Children mature early in that climate. Up to this time a girl is not a member of the tribe. But when she is ready for marriage, she is initiated. She must pass a number of tests, including that of pain. Some people, said Mr. Fuller, may think this is brutal, but the tribe's philosophy is that a woman must be able to endure pain if she is to be children; so she is tested out in that country, she is made a member of the tribe in good standing and is ready for girls who cannot pass the endurance tests. I don't know. I forgot to ask Mr. Fuller. However, I imagine they all manage to pass, somehow. A girl is a real asset to her parents in those African tribes. Each girl is worth a certain fixed sum, which the man who wants her for his wife must pay to her parents. Polygamy is the rule, of course. A man usually wants her for his wife, a rule, has about six children. But don't think that each man raises 30 children. Infant mortality is very high—a good thing under the circumstances; otherwise the population would become unmahageable and the country could not support it. The new wife is always welcomed by her predecessors, said Mr. Fuller. As more children arrive the work gets heavier, and the new wife is reinforcement, as it we...

When a boy is two years old, he goes out with an elder brother or some other older person, to take his first lesson in tending cattle.

By that time he has earned enough to buy his first wife. When they travel she carries the luggage. He carries a spear. These people love their children dearly and tend them better, everything considered, than many parents do in our up-to-date civilization. Mr. Fuller told me, "They are deserved by us, but expels us from skimmed, slender and tall, and, judging by the pictures displayed, their features are quite patrician, their faces showing a keen intelligence. "If we governed ourselves as wisely as they govern themselves," moralized Mr. Fuller, "and if we lived up to our laws and our professed morality as strictly as they live up to theirs, it would be vastly to our benefit. But the white race is the most conceited of all the races, and is continually trying to force its own and customs from the other races. The result in general is confusion in the minds of those we regard as heathen and uncivilized. Sometimes we only succeed in debauching them. We destroy their own morality and furnish a poor example of ours. We fail to make them understand our religion and they note that we don't always live in harmony. We preach to them restless and unhappy where before they were contented and happy. Why do we do it?" he demanded. DOUGLASS AND LANGSTON. Miss Klinger the Speaker at St. James Forum, Last Sunday—Delivers an Exceptionally Interesting Admission to an Historical Nature. The principal speaker for St. James forum, Sunday afternoon, was Miss Essie Klinger, a graduate of W. R. U. She spoke on "Inclidents in the Early History of Cleveland Afro-American's" and made a very interesting address indeed. For six months, Miss Klinger has been studying old files of local daily newspapers for articles, having reference to that have historical value. She is a member of our local branch of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History and is connected with the research committee of the organization in charge of its Cleveland work. In her address, Sunday, Miss Klinger reported having found in a copy of a local daily, under date Nov. 18, 1859, a report of an address made by Chas. Moore, a writer in city which he concludes that John Brown's revolutionary efforts were in accordance with the bible. Another item she found, under date Oct. 26, 1859, noted the presence in the city of John Brown who was endeavoring to interest our people in raising funds for his insurrection at Harpers Ferry Co., Va. Other items she gleaned, told of Frederick Douglass' four addresses to the Western Reserve Literary society, Samuel B. Ward, Dr. J. G. Schoenberg and Soloman Northrup, a fugitive slave, were also noted orators of the race during the troublous times of 1851 to 1856. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance Co. of Louisville, Ky., has just lost a $25,000 suit against it. The National Benefit Life Insurance Co. seems to be thru. The receiver has just resigned. Mrs. Nora Aimes and Mrs. Hattie Toddles are our women members of the Michigan state Republican committee. George Anthony Reginald Williams, "the distinguished English aviator" whom the former Lady Mary Heath, noted aviator, married some months ago in England, was born on one of the small British West Indies islands and is said to be a colored man. His portraits in American newspapers certainly so impress one. Lady Heath, it will be remembered, was nearly killed in an airplane accident here, several years ago. Members of the "Deep River" quartet are: Al Warr, first tenor; Morland Earl, second; E. J. McKinney, baritone; and Eugene Wright, basso. Marguerite Sanford, accompanist; R. J.

SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1932. With Ethel Waters and Paul Robeson, two of our leading artists, in the city, next week, the people of Cleveland, without regard to group or race, are going to have an opportunity to hear something away above the ordinary. The Gazette has received an autographed copy of "Opportunity," a very pretty and pretentious quartet for mixed voices with piano accompaniment. Poem by Walter Malone and music by W. C. Handy of 1595 Broadway, N. Y. City, famous author of the "Memphis Blues," "St Louis Blues" and many others almost equally popular. Mr. Handy sent the copy of his latest composition from Memphis, Tenn. He is the king of the "Blues" writers and composers. Mayor Miller got 1.370 votes in the 11th ward, 1,087 in the 12th, 1,117 in the 17th, and 1,170 in the 18th. No one, unless it is a person whose head needs to be examined, would ever for a single moment believe that 4,744 of our people in those four wards voted for "his honor," a Democrat. As a matter of fact, not even 500 of all of our voters did so. All the rest were Jewish, Irish, Italian, etc., and the local "Negro Democrats" (so-called) know this, too. ..... FLEMING REFUSED PAROLE. Gov. George White, according to dispatches to local daily newspapers, Tuesday, has refused to pardon former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming until he has served at least another ten months. When that time expires, with credit for good behavior, Tom's sentence of 33 months (of which 16 have been served) will be so near expiration that he will hardly need or want the governor's parole. The state board of clemency on Tuesday deferred further consideration of Tom's case until next December. It is said that Mayor Ray T. Miller opposed the parole at this time of both Fleming and former Councilman Liston G. Schooley. The latter, when on trial, plead guilty to assisting in a more than $30,000 land steal from the city, while Tom was "framed" on a charge of having accepted a $200 brilbe. The mayor when county prosecutor had charge of the two cases. It would be interesting to know just why he opposes the parole of Fleming, if he does. OHIO'S GRAND OPERA. The Metropolitan Opera Company will make its annual visit to Cleveland's great public auditorium and present four grand operas on April 21 to 23, with the double-bill of matinee and evening performance on Saturday, April 23, it has been announced by U. S. Senator Robert J. Bulkley, chairman of the opera committee. This announcement will be good news especially to the music lovers of our group or race. The mere fact that the world's greatest opera company will continue its annual spring festivals in Ohio is enheartening news in this year when many can see only the depression. It means that Ohio still has a place in its civic life for culture and that it still has the money to pay for it. For Ohio and Cleveland have set the record for the rest of the world in the past five years, when more people heard the Metropolitan in the mammoth public auditorium than ever before heard opera anywhere in the world. Our fellow-citizens, as well as music lovers from the surrounding states who have helped make Cleveland and Ohio a music mecca, have helped prove that the mid-west is really the home of music and of culture. The opera committee is to be commended that it has the faith and the wise judgment to again bring grand opera to Ohio this spring. The response of music lovers will soon prove that the decision was right. HEAR! HEAR!! THE NEW YORK TIMES WHAT'S DOING! The 9,715 registered voters in the 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th wards who failed to vote were not all Republicans and the great majority of them were whites, and NOT our voters. Has anyone seen Councilman Roy Bundy since election? It is said that all "The Blossom Triplets" have been in mourning ever since that day. How about it? Those "boys" are sure "in bad," these "Miller" days. L. L. Yancey was succeeded in the city treasurer's office, the first of the week, by a woman (white) Democrat. This is the third best position we held in the city government. Scores of Republicans in the garbage plant are to be let out and many more are soon to go. Here is a little "mouthful" from an O. S. U., Columbus, O., publication: You need your money And I need mine. If we both get ours, It sure will be fine. But if you get yours And hold mine, too, What in the world Am I going to do? Mayor Ray T. Miller was the principal speaker, Sunday evening, at Euclid Ave, temple. Barnett R. Brickner, rabbi. Monday in city council chamber, he welcomed to the city, in the presence of more than 1,000 Jewish citizens, Dr. Nahum Sokolow, president of the world's Zionist organization of Palestine. Mayor Miller knows who really "put him over" on election day, recently, and is thus showing appreciation of the fact. After the club's fifth annual ball, last week Thursday evening, Vice-President W. D. Williams of the Tuxedo club entertained, at a cabaret party, in honor of the world's middleweight champion, Wm. ("Gorilla") Jones of Akron at the Nest, among the guests were the Misses Bessie and Louise Len French and Marie Green, accompanied by Eddie Walker and Bill Moseley. Our three appointees at the Women's Police Bureau in Cedar Ave.—custodian, laudress and cook—were replaced by members of the race who call themselves Democrats, and in addition, Miss Carrie Payne, and Miss Marjorie White (white) stenographer, Republican Lawrence Fairfax, clerk in County Auditor Zangerle's office, was among the 12 laid off for a month.

The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

If a mob carries a says it’s of no use to reside downs itself and the world not will say “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no ‘guts.’” The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such case from prosecution for homicide or for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 enforced 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 concession stand, 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 or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in 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 CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? 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 contending, after over 1900 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 of 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 have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have vindicate 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. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

Mr. Powell has the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends and acquaintances in this community. Dr. A. M. Gibson, dentist, E. 83d St. and Cedar Ave., has helped and is continuing to help scores of our people "from the South" by extracting teeth without charge where they were and are without funds with which to pay.

Dr. Gibson is a native of this city, an exceptionally competent dentist, a fine young man and a credit to the race. Last week was Mardi Gras week at the P. W.

Among the callers at The Gazette office, Friday afternoon, was Anderson H. Bowman of Maud Ave. For many years, years ago, Bowman and McAfee's dance orchestra was the leading and best musical organization of the kind, not only in Cleveland but in northern Ohio. Mr. Bowman played bass violin and was theprompter de luxe, while Charles McAfee was the harpist. Both song and the orchestra attained a popularity with the Chelsea-loving rarely if ever equaled in this section of the country. They were really pioneers in the work. Both were also leading members of the Cleveland Cornet band of which the editor of The Gazette was leader for some years. Mr. Bowman played a tenor horn in the band, and McAfee was an exceptionally efficient baritone player.

The return of Ethel Waters to the Hanna Theatre, Sunday night, in Lew Leslie's "Rhapsody in Black," a symphony of blue notes and black rhythm in which she re THE TWO BOYS The Berry Brothers, cently appeared there, is welcome news. No musical show of the season met with a more cordial welcome on the part of the public, and none was more deserving. With Ethel Waters will be seen the same company, including Valalida, the Berry Brothers, Cecil Mack's Choir, the Berry Brothers, Geneva Washington, Dum Mallister Geneva Washington, Dum Fletcher, Eloise Uggams and the Pike Davis Continental Orchestra. "Rhapody in Black" has become one of the outstanding musical hits of the current season. The show not only broke box-office records in Chicago, but also established the long run record of the year in the "Windy City" by remaining three months. Inimitable Ethel Waters' songs are not merely popular melo- bies but are memorable character studies. Nat N. Dorfman has written a special prologue for "Rhapody in Black" which is a radical departure from musical revues in that it utilizes neither scenery, comedians nor chorus girls, and yet it is replete with melody, humor and dancing such as no colored entertainment heretorefoe has boasted. The prices will be "popular," a remarkable thing for such a big musical show. Matinees. Wednesday and Saturday. 1930 J. STRIKE LEADER JAILED!

THE FIRST WORLD WAR William Pickens isn't wrong when he says, "There is very little difference between Republicans and Democrats" nowadays (having reference to their platforms). How they have changed in the last quarter of a century! What difference still exists is in the leadership of the two great parties, that (southern) of the Democratic party being not only a menace to all of our people but a stench in their nostrils. This is why no sane sensible and loyal member of the race can really become a Democrat even tho he may associate himself with local Democrats and call himself a "Democrat." ringing On More Talk WHAT DOES SHE TALK ABOUT?

(Prenamed by National Geographic Society, NATIONAL WHO'S Who of former German colonies in Africa, now mandates under the control of the various European nations, Cameroun stands out as one of the most interesting. Wedged in between French and British territory at the inner corner of the Gulf of Guinea on the western coast, it was "Kamuner" to the Germans. Now it has become a French mandate and is governed along with French Equatorial Africa, a sizable empire under the tricolor. Cameroun is a vast territory itself. It touches the sea for a distance of about 125 miles, and then fans out gigantically to reach the Sahara to the north, the Ouangul river to the east, and Gabon colony at its lower boundary. The steamer which carries the traveler to this out-of-the-way objective passes through a 19-mile channel between the huge guardian masses of the island of Fernando Po on one side and Mount Cameroons on the other, and turns eastward into the mouth of a broad estuary. To the south stretches an endless vista of low mangrove swamp. On the left, 60 miles away, is the mountain, its peak rarely visible in so humid a climate. In midstream, to the annoyance of the captain, is the wreckage of two German ships deliberately sunk at the beginning of the World war to obstruct the passage. After several slow miles upstream Doula, the "big-town," becomes visible. It lies on a flat-topped, not very lofty, promontory and continues behind the promontory along a glaring beach and hilly ridge. The effect, especially after a month of sea, is charming. Douala Is Attractive. The big house of the chief of the local administrative division of the mandate appears white, elegant, and richly shaded in the foreground. Behind the mansion, up and down the hill, are other sturdy, pretty stucco residences, mango, palm, and breadfruit trees overhanging them; and, of course, along the water front are the inevitable and inevitably ugly trading "factories," their galvanized iron roofs shimmering in the violence of the sun. On closer examination Donla proves at once the prettiest and the plainest of West African cities. It is a question of neighborhood. On the palm of the flat Donla promontory the Germans established an exclusive white residential quarter, complete with parks, bandstand, and double or quadruple lines of trees on every street. Along the wrist and forearm, to continue the metaphor, they planned a native and trading section which could continue inland upriver as far as it liked, incorporating as it grew the existing villages of Akwa, Deidow, New Bell, New Akwa, and New Deidow. "In times these town names threaten to become repetitious." This arrangement, substantially, has kept up, though the French government has made no effort to enforce it. The section immediately around the park, enlivened by the presence of several cafes, is the best shaded, most serenely quiet and lovely bit of town on the coast. For the rest—for the miles of deep, hot sand along the river's edge, the innumerable hideous stores and warehouses, the noisy recklessness of dilapidated auto trucks and even more dilapidated native laborers—one can say little that is kind. It is commercially flourishing and trade is growing, at least. It is the one logical outlet for the produce of the entire interior, and the harbor is excellent. In thirty years the population has grown from negligibility to over 25,000, more than 1,000 of whom are Europeans. Donala will never be proud of its climate. In the dry season it is hot, breathless beyond belief. A temperature of 80 degrees is absolutely chilly. And in the rainy season one sloshes about in high boots and a raincoat through an almost continual downpour, which, mysteriously, does little to modify the temperature. The average annual rainfall here is more than 13 feet, and at one place on the seacost the precipitation reaches the phenomenal figure of 36 feet. To the Interior by Rail. The two Cameroun railways center at Dounla. One runs due north for 100 miles to the terminal town of Nkongsamba. The other, which has no connection with the first, goes east- ward for 190 miles, to the new administrative capital, Yaounde. To reach the terminus of the first—the Chemin de Fer du Nord—one crosses the Donala river to the village of Bonaberi. The daily train, following the ignoble custom of civilization, leaves at a friendly early hour, an hour when the fleecey dawn mists lie on the river, permeate one's clothes, and ungue the labels from the baggage. Passengers of both colors intensely dislike each other, as is natural before breakfast, and embarkation is accompanied by profanity in something over thirty languages. The engine burns wood, frequently such trifles as ebony and mahogany, and the rain of blazing sparks makes it incumbent upon the passengers to remain close within the carriages. Almost at once, however, the multiplicity and grandeur of Cameroun become manifest, and one can no longer be dull. All the way to Nkongsamba the line climbs upward, slowly for three-quarters of the distance, then sheerly. For the first six hours the route lies through the region of the great equatorial forest. At either side of the narrow cut rear up the mighty, regimented trees. The tops, flaring flat and wide to take the sun, are often 200 feet above the ground. Some of the trunks are four feet through and all are wrapped and tangled in vines that make a continuous, eternal pattern. Bushes, weeds, ferns the size of apple trees, choke the ground. Everything is green, superbly living in immortal summer. Plantations and Uplands. Occasionally the forest breaks and the train passes plantations of tobacco (certain grades of Cameroun wrapper sell for $2.50 a pound wholesale), banana, palm oil, and cacao. Less frequently, there are native villages of half a dozen ramshackle "long houses" of the Bantu type, and now and then larger towns with the ubiquitous corrugated iron "factory" in evidence. Then, on higher ground, the train begins to go through open clearings, stretches off lush, rolling meadowland of a sort unimaginable in ordinary tropical "bush." The trees begin to dwindle, the vegetation thins down and becomes more orderly. At a few miles from Nkongsamba there is no more jungle, only what a northerner would accurately call "woods." The equatorial forest, in less than 100 miles and, more importantly, with 3,000 feet of altitude, has been forced out. From Nkongsamba an auto goes 137 miles north and a little east to the native city of Foumanb. It is a lovely road, speaking strictly from the standpoint of scenery, not roadbed. Ecumban Is Surprising. After a tiring day's drive in a bumpy truck, Foumanb is astonishing, so complete is its contrast with what has gone before. The city stands upon a hill and is surrounded by an elaborate system of ancient trench fortifications dating from the years of the Fulah raiders. The trees, which have been planted along every street, give it a wooded effect wholly absent among the neighboring grass meadows. One has an immediate impression of order, prosperity, civilization. Many of the houses of Foumanb are of sun-dried brick and are roofed with native tiles or grass thatch. The compound fences are neatly constructed. The market, made of brick and tile, is modern in type and perfectly clean. At the center of the town is an imposing three-story structure set in the midst of elaborate gardens. It is the palace of Njova, sultan of the Bamou and overlord of Foubam. Everything—order, bricks, and garden—is indigenous. Foubam existed when the white man was no more than a myth. Even now outside influences have touched it only slightly. The sultan and the majority of his people are Mohammedans. In accordance with the curious rule that people of the African deserts and prairies readily adopted Mohammedanism, and that the people of the African forests almost invariably did not, the Bamou scarcely recall a time when their life was not strongly influenced by the Arabic belief. In the center of the town, facing the sultan's palace, is the mosque, a frame building of strongly Moorish type, even to the vertical stripes of red and white paint. Here, every Friday, the elite of the Bamou gather. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1932. pasha A JACKET, and a jacket and a jackets with a few extra jackets just to have a variety is fashion's decree for spring and summer. One really must have a whole wardrobe of cunning little jackets if one lives up to the code of smart dress prescribed for the coming months. And what a decorative role these versatile jackets are playing. They are everything that is fascinating both as to color and the materials of which they are made. Brief affairs are they, the newest models favoring waist-length. Fitted eton jackets for daytime wear appear in quantities. They stop above the waltshire and smartly contrast the skirt. Other of these little jackets have quite a military bearing, as they are broad at the shoulders and frequently have a double-breast fastening with brass or nickel buttons. Stunning costumes for sports and town wear developed in intriguing novelty lightweight woolens in gray colors (red, white and blue being in high favor, the world of fashion having gone colonial this season) flaunt these youthful walst-length jackets. Whether for daytime, afternoon or evening a jacket of some sort is now considered an indispensable part of the costume. At afternoon bridge, for dinner, for the theater and other formal occasions jackets take on a versatile and decorative mood which imparts an enlivening touch to the style picture. There is nothing stereotyped about the clever jackets which are tipping the new spring afternoon and evening frocks. Some of them are of simplest construction, with flowing or pell sleeves and open front similar to the style portrayed in the little center panel above. Whatever this simpler type jacket may lack in intricate detail is offset by its fetching color. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A pleasing venture in fashion's activities is the creating of novel little capes and scarfs of colorful sheer velvet. These cunning fantasies are all that fancy dare picture both as to color and unique design. The winsome cape sketched at the top is made of transparent velvet with self-fabric tinyoses completely bordering it. Another new and voguish type of wrap done in high-key colors of turquoise, coral and green or in any of the delectable pastels is the circular scarf with long pointed ends which are that wn gracefully around the shoulder. They are very lovely worn with prints, or triple sheer or satin gowns. Made of sheerest ice-green transparent velvet as it is, and posed over a formal dance pajama costume of pale yellow chiffon, the color scheme is perfect. As a little summer wrap to slip over lingere frocks, a jacket of this type will prove a delight the season through. The black velvet jacquette to the left declares a greater formality. Its fitted-at-the-waistline silhouette is very new and chic. At the front it ties in a soft knot and two ends. It is worn over a white crepe dress which has a bow tied at the neck, left hanging outside the wrap, which lends to the back a graceful note. White fox fur on the loose sleeves completes this symphony in black and white. All sorts of intriguing details enter into the designing of the myriads of petite velvet jackets which are so outstanding in the mode, such as for instance, voluminous puff sleeves, ornamental buttons, an abundance of shirring with a plentiful use of decorative hows. Notwithstanding the allurements of the little waist-length velvet jackets, there is a rival in the field—the boho or eton made of allover lace. These little lace fantasies are in loveliest tones and tints, which adds greatly to their charm. The model picture is the pale blue venise lace. It is significant that the crepe yoke of the black crepe gown is in the same shade of blue. This color alliance of bodice-top or yoke and the little jacket which tops it is a new move which is accented throughout the costume design. It is expected that the lace jacquette will be a leading item for summer as well as during the spring months, not only in contrasting colors which will lend a gay note to frocks of monotone crepes, but to all types of sheer and dainty dresses.

PARIS CATERS TO LOVE OF UNIFORM Women like uniforms, proverbally, and now they may have military touches in their own clothes, as evidenced by Worth's spring styles. Chevroots, braids and frogs have been added to the already popular epaulet mode. Metal buttons and chain trims carry the effect still further. Lines of the spring clothes match the new trimmings, for broader shoulders are correctly military, and the slimmer skirts give the proper fitted-in appearance to the lower part of the figure. Evening skirts are narrow, as with the daytime frocks, and some are designed with slashed sides. Worth uses some trains, and continues to show the ruffled skirts. Short evening coats have very wide sleeves, embroidered in angora wool. For day year, there are many bolero short jacket suits, some with contrasting jackets. Light-Weight Wool Is Favored for Blouses Light-weight wool, such as wool shangting, is much in favor with the Paris house of Worth for blouses. White is usually the color with buttons that harmonize or contrast with the suit color. For example, one of Worth's white wool blouses has green buttons to go with a green suit; another has black or dark blue buttons to accompany dark suits; a third has red buttons designed to be worn with a black or brown suit. Russian Pajamas Russian lounging palamas are very chic. If you have a Russian blouse, why not make trousers to match? Of course you can make the whole costume yourself if you aren't fussy about having it embroidered.

At the end, we find him, partially through the generous influence of Lafayette, an avowed opponent of the slave system, wishing that he might free his own slaves, but deterred from doing so by financial considerations, and to his death when he accomplishes this result by using the traditional theme are many incidental interests which help to illuminate the work of the historical period." Washington, D. C.—"George Washington and the Negro," a book by Walter H. Mazyck, graduate of Howard University, has been selected as an alternate by the Book-of-the-Month club, according to announcement in the February issue of the Book-of-the-Month club news. The club says, "This is a careful, well-documented and interesting study, which sheds considerable light on the character of George Washington, and also on the general condition of American Negroes during the revolution. We see Washington, as at first, imbued with the prejudices of the planter class to which he belongs, a human being, long before Henry Ford a scale of maximum efficiency to be maintained.

By this action, words of the English speaker: were distorted into a queer gibberish, resembling the unintelligible chattering of an untutored parrot. Mr. Grace explained that this cryptic language is produced by "turning speech upside down", or interchanging low and high pitches of the voice. OICES from the clouds and from across the Atlantic filled three Ohio auditoriums as Sergius P. Grace, vice president of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, demonstrated the marvels of modern communication. During telephonic exhibitions in Cleveland and Columbus, Mr. Grace picked a telephone from his demonstration apparatus and connected his audiences with a radio dispatching station at the airport in Cheyenne, Wyo. An instant later the rapid fire jargon between transcontinental pilots, flying high above the continental divide, and the land station roared through loud speakers installed in the auditorium. Research Saves Millions Mr. Grace spoke about products of the Bell Laboratories which have saved telephone companies and telephone users of this country millions of dollars. He described the loading coil and telephone repeater which have made possible distinct transmission of the voice over great distances. Flying instructions concerning weather conditions, visibility and other news vital to pilots were heard in the mysterious code of the air. In effect, the entire assembly was transported to the Cheyenne radio control room and permitted to listen in on conversations of the airways. Through the use of these devices, telephone conversations can be carried in cable by wires no larger than an ordinary pin, resulting in better transmission and an enormous saving in the cost of materials. Under the old method, copper wires nearly the size of lead pencils were strung on poles to give equivalent conversations. Following this voice travelogue, the audiences heard a telephone representative speak with Mr. Grace from London, England over --- --- London Speaks OUR GLORIOUS HISTORY IN U. S. Some Facts Every Member of the Race Should Know—Teach the Young Folk! Washington, D. C. — The history written by a person, where his own people are concerned, always sings the glory of that people first and foremost. Most American whites do not know "That the Negro was among the Revolutionary patriots." That a black man named Crispus Attucks, was first to die, on Boston Commons in the Revolutionary struggle. That Peter Salem, a black, shot the British commander on Bunker Hill and so gave the patriots some advantages in the fight. The black man another black man, led a picked detail of patrols (white) into a British camp to capture a high officer and succeeded in doing so. That Negroes were with George Washington all the way from Valley Forge to Yorktown, and that his black troops at Yorktown numbered about 5,000—a very large and important part of an army in that era. That Negroes at one time constituted as much as 45 per cent of the total, non-Indian population of the original states. That every tenth sailor with Commodore Perry on Lake Erie, when he overcame the British fleet was a black sailor. Or so blacks helped to "hold the fort"—Fort McHenry at Baltimore—to prevent the enemy from getting into the city and burning it, as they had burned the Capitol at Washington. It was this "Battle of Fort McHenry" that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner." He added to the number of 200,000 troops helped to win the Civil War for the Union That there were nearly one-half million black troops in the World War, from the United States alone—not to mention those of France, England and others of the Allies. That Negroes have registered in one-third of the over one-third—some of the greatest use to our industries and transportation. That the Afro-American has learned to read and write at the greatest speed in the history of the human race; 12,000,000 (twelve millions) becoming "literate" in two short generations to a percentage of the population. That Afro-Americans, as our economically most handicapped group, has advanced from not owning themselves about 65 years ago to the ownership of two billion dollars of American property. That after becoming free the Afro-American has multiplied his numbers three times in two generations, without any immigration. That Afro-Americans are now among this country's greatest artists, on the stage, in poetry, in music, in painting, on the platform of oratory and in all the other branches of the finer and more cultivated arts. These and many other encouraging people only by going outside of the racial national records and finding the facts. NOT LOYAL TO THEIR OWN! "The Colored troops fought nobly again, as usual, on the recent election day. They gave Daniel E. Morgan, defeated candidate for mayor, 27,214 votes in wards 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19; 5,789 in the 11th ward, 6,101 in the 12th, 5,042 in the 17th, 5,517 in the 18th, and 4,725 in the 19th ward. The publican vote in the 11th, 12th and 17th were colored voters, as were two-thirds of the Republican vote in the 18th and 19th wards. In these same wards, Ray T. Miller, Democratic candidate for mayor, received only 7,319 votes, nearly all of them cast by white persons (mainly Jewish, Irish and Italians), parishioners, and in the 11th ward, 1,087 in the 12th, 1,117 in the 17th, 1,170 in the 18th and 2,575 in the 19th ward. There are also three settlements of colored voters on the west side, two in the 30th ward, one in Glenville and one in Collinwood, in addition to the colored vote of a number of other wards of the city, totaling, according to the last U. S. census, over 47,000 votes, at least 40,000 of which were cast at the recent election, nearly all Republican. Daniel E. Morgan's total vote (Republican) was 94,829. Therefore, very near half of the vote cast for him was given him by our people. In two settlements in ward 30 nested at the votes, the three on the west side, including West Bend, easily the same number; the one in Glenville, 800; that*^a*in Collinwood, 400, etc. To these, must be added, the large scattering colored vote in wards of the city not mentioned, easily making a total vote cast for Morgan of more than forty thousand. Most of the Jewish Republican vote went to Miller, insuring his election. Wards 24, 25, 27 and 30 are the "Jewish" (settlement) wards. In ward 24, the Republican majority was only 890 when it should have been 2,000 or more. In ward 25 it was 1,382 when it should have been 300 at least. In ward 27, it was only 244 when it should have been at least 2,000, and ward 26 gave a Democratic majority of 1,094 when Morgan should have been given Republican majority of over 3,000 which would have insured Morgan's triumphant election. In plain words, the Jews of the city refused to support the Jewish control of the Republican party and the city of Cleveland. They were not loyal to their own! Patronize Our Advertisers
