IN UNION IS STRONGER FORTY-NINTH YEAR VICTOR OUR LE STOOD THEIR GROUND CROW" PROPOSITION And Announced That Them to Formulate Programs Fight to the Bitter H of Their FORTY-NINTH YEAR No.33 OUR LEADERS STOOD THEIR GROUND AND FOUGHT "JIMCROW" PROPOSITIONS OF ALL KINDS. And Announced That They Would Not Permit Others to Formulate Programs for the Race, But Would Fight to the Bitter End for the Freedom of Their People. Washington, D. C. — When the free Negroes were advised a hundred years ago to go to Africa they replied to their traductors that they would never separate themselves from the slave population of this country as they brethren by the "ties of consanguinity, of suffering, and of wrong." In 1816 free-men, like Richard Allen, James Forten, and Robert Purvis, were ferred to as a foreign slave whose country would not be secure in this country, instead of permitting the colonizationists to shove them aside as criminals to be deported to a distant shore, they replied in no uncertain terms that this soil in America which gave them birth is their only true home. "Here their fathers fought, bled, and died for this country and here they intended to stay." Today when such things come up you find Negroes appearing upon the scene to see how much pay they can get to assist in the undoing of the race. Further emphasis of the Negroes was given to law years later, Nathaniel Paul, a Baptist preacher of Albany, a colonizationists that the free Negroes would not permit their traductors to formulate a program for the race. "You may go ahead with your plan to deport this element to make slavery secure, but we will never emigrate to Africa. We shall stay here and fight until the foul monster is crushed. Slavery must go!" And these Negroes of a continent fought the pro-slavery deportationists to a standstill, for with the exception of a few pioneers the emigrants to Liberia were largely slaves manumitted on the condition that they would settle in Africa. These freed-men could have no ideals but those of the slaveholding section from which they were sent. They established, therefore, a slavocracy in Liberia. If Liberia has failed, then, it is no evidence of the failure of the Negro in government. It is easily evidenced of reliance on slaves. The Negroes attacking the monstrous "jim-crowism" almost a century ago fearlessly questioned the constitutionality of such a provision. Speaking through Charles Lenox Remond of that day, they said: WHY MORE A. M. E. BISHOPS? Statistical Comparison of the African and the Methodist Epistle by Charlie Item Number of Church Edifices...... Number of Church Members...... Average Members per Church. Value of Church Edifices...... Number of Bishops Active in U. S. Churches, per Bishon.

E. bishops restored to 17 or to 16 active bishops in the United States, the average membership per bishop would drop to less than 35,000 (34,113) as compared with an average of 194,323 per white bishop. Although there was an increase of ONLY seventy-five A. M. E. bishops during the ten-year period covered by the last U. S. religious census, the yearly expenditures jumped in excess of FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, or from $3,413,395 to $7,600,161. This is spite of the fact that, during the same period, there was an actual decrease, as REPORTED BY CHURCH OFFICIALS, of 2,541 members and 22,804 Sunday school scholars. "There is a distinction between social and civil rights. We all claim the privilege of selecting our society and associations, but, in civil rights, one man has not the prerogative to define rights for another. These (race) distinctions react in all their wickedness—to say nothing of their conjected and systematized odiousness and absurdity—upon those who are illiberal and mean enough to practice them." In our day, however, I find some highly educated Negroes approving such "jim-crowism." The trouble with the Negroes of today, as I have said before, is that they have not the moral courage to肩他 in the face of least resistance, each one trying to feather his own nest. The so-called educated Negro is the worst coward of the whole group. His "education" has emasculated him. Going out of Kentucky in a "jim-crow" car, into Ohio, I witnessed this demonstration. In it, the Negroes how lightly he took the humiliation of his race, the porter yelled: "We now cross the Mason and Dixon "We now cross the Mason and Dixon line. Pull down the "jim-crow" sign. Ladies, put on your powder and paint. And look to look what you ask!. Just at that moment a stout, husky, dark-brown Negro hod-carrier of fifty or fifty-five leaped from his seat and, showing fire in his eye and giving expression to stirring emotions in his bosom, cried out: Yes, we are crossing the Mason-Dixon line. We will not fight it again! I will never raise my children in the land of jim-crow!" For such a spirit, we cannot look to the so-called educated Negro. Such training as our traducers have provided for Negroes makes them feel that they do not amount to anything and that their case from within is hopeless. The Negro, then, is taught to fall back on the superstitious belief that something to happen. In one respect he is right, for if the Negro does not get busy, it is going to happen very soon, but what will happen will not be what the Negro is praying for. The Negro must learn to answer his own prayers. (Prof.) Carter G. Woodson. THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1932.

Green who is 87 years young, today. Congratulations. Senator! HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! John W. Raper, a columnist of the Cleveland Daily Press, in its issue of March 26 is responsible for the following amusing paragraph: "President Hoover received 30 'outsiders'—six actresses among 'em'—at the White House yesterday and actually shook haddies with them, altho a year or so ago he eliminated a hapless shah of time. If he has resumed handshaking in hope of making votes it's still a waste of time. As for the 30 'outsiders'—oh, well, we don't care how they waste their time." On a number of occasions in the past, The Rounder has stressed the fact that the best meals, the best food, good wholesome food properly cooked, and at the lowest prices can be found only at Mr. Ludlo Mueler's restaurant-stand in the Woodland-E. 55th Market just inside the Woodland Ave. entrance, a little to the right. Thirty-five cents will get you a meal that you cannot duplify with the same five cents, anymore in the city and one that you will never forget. Try it, as scores of our people have done and are still doing, and see if The Rounder is not right. As The Gazette goes to press, this week, The Rounder hears that Dr. L. L. Rodgers, assistant Democratic leader in ward 12, has been appointed to succeed former councilman, Dr. E. J. Gregg, as a special assistant city physician, appointed as a Republican, several months ago. Rodgers has earned the position and ought to have it, if he has not yet been given it. And by the same token, now that Dwight R. Williams has succeeded Ormonee Forte as assistant superintendant at the garbage plant, the veteran Democrat, Walter L. Brown, should be given either the superintendancy of the garbage plant or the superintendancy of the Central Ave. bath-house. Walter, you know, was active in the local Democratic when he was a Negro Democrat of today were still "sporting" (wearing) their "diddies." Then there is Dr. Owen, "Little Jimmy," assistant Democratic leader in ward 18 who has been spokesman for the Democratic coterie of color for several years. He ought to be cared for, too, by W. Burr Gongwer, local Democratic leader. In an interview in The Cleveland Daily Press of March 23, that "Blossom Triplet," Councilman Roy Bundy, when asked whether he would go along with the organization in supporting a certain candidate for a state office replied: "I don't know. The organization hasn't done anything for me, and I don't ask anything of it." How that individual can say such a thing, in the face of the fact that he owes his election, two years ago last fall, and his re-election, last fall, primarily and mainly to the local Republican organization, is something The Rounder cannot. Everybody life of him underestimates anything at all about local politics in the third district knows that his statement is not true and that just the opposite of what he says is true. It reminds The Rounder of Bundy's threat of year before last to run Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, out of the 17th ward if he came up there to make a political speech and then very promptly soon after, when Maschke spoke to him. The "bird" is sure a political conundrum. He did not attend Monday evening's meeting of the City Council. Why? MME. LILY PONS TO STAR IN "LAKME." Bori, Gigli, Tibbett the Stars the Second Night—All the Grand Opera Stars in the Third Day's Two Performances. Sale of seats for the single opera performances in the ninth spring festi- val of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany in Cleveland's big public ball hall began today. Prices are lower than Metropolitan rates any- where else in the country and start at one dollar. There is no tax. A LILY PONS The diminutive French coloratura sopano, the most recent sensation of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, will be heard twice during the spring festival of grand opera in Cleveland's public hall. She will open the season with the "Lakme" on April 21 and be heard again with Lucrezia Bori, Grace Moore, and Lawrence Tibbett in "Tales of Hoffman" on Saturday, April 23, at the matinee. Four operas will be given in the three days of the Cleveland season, April 21, 22 and 23, with a matinee and evening performance on "All-Ohio Day," Saturday, April 23. The operas, selected after hundreds of music lovers all over the state had made suggestions of their favorite operas, opens with Lily Pons, the sensational coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan, in the exotic Punch opera "Almee." Izzoza Bori Borri Henliana Gigli, those great lovers in grand opera, will be heard the second night in "Manon," an outstanding favorite. In this opera will also be heard Lawrence Tibbett. The double bill on Saturday has "Tales of Hoffmann" for the matinee, in which will sing Bori, Pons and Grace Moore, new star of the Metropolitan, as well as Tibbett and Frederick Jagel, the young American tenor. The evening bill will be La Gioconda with the Pons and Rose Carmela, together in grand opera for the first time, with Giovanni Martiniell as the tenor, Moore and Tibbett have starred together in the talks. Unusual interest attaches to the opening night, always a gala affair in opera week, when the diminutive Lily Pons brings her greatest opera, "Lakme," to Cleveland. It was revived at the Metropolitan, this year, expressly for her and the famed "Bell Song" is known to all as the song which won her the prize of the Metropolitan. For this spectacular opera she has had authentic costumes made in India, with real gold embroidery and real jewels. The Metropolitan has devised a colorful stage set and the ballet numbers rival Broadway musical shows. Seats are on sale at Lyon and Healy's, 1226 Huron Rd., this city. Jenkins' Appointment Illegal. Wilberforce, O. — The appointment of Business Manager C. C. Jenkins, of the state department of Wilberforce University, as acting superintendent has been held illegal by the State Board of Control. It transpires that the board of trustees has power to elect a superintendent acting or temporary superintendent. The board created, two weeks ago, by the death of Supt. Richard C. Bundy. The board met again, yesterday, to elect his successor.

Smith, 226 Superior Ave., City. My dear Mr. Smith:—I noticed your editorial in this week's issue of The Gazette and from the tone of the article, I am of the opinion that you have written from the material sent from Mr. Smith, or from the article which appeared in certain other weeklies of last week. The article which was flashed all over the country only gave one side which from all indications was made up and given to the public because two officials had been ousted by a vote of twelve out of fourteen of the members present at the Board meeting and the two who did not vote were the two men ousted. The charges against them not only made public either by the ousted gentlemen or by the other officials of the company. Under separate cover, I am sending you a copy of this week's issue of the Afro-American, Mr. Overton informed me by letter that the article which appears in the Afro had been released to all of the papers which carried the release of Charles A Shaw, last week. Thus far this is the only paper which has published an Afro-American's side the opinion that your readers will appreciate your valuable opinion in another issue of your journal, after you have had an opportunity to read both sides and reflect over your experiences and observations of many years passed. I always appreciate the frank and forceful effect of your editorials and I believe that you speak the truth as you know it in the world, and that reason that I am concerned very much about acquainting you with the other side of the question. I am not attempting to give you my opinion but I will venture to say that neither side will say that the company's financial standing is at present affected. The thing that I am very much concerned about is not the personal affects that it will have upon either of the two gentlemen in question, Mr. Overton, or even in question, Mr. Gregoire, about the public confidence which is so delicate with regard to Negro enterprises at present. Having learned about ten days before this outburst that such was brewing in the air, I got in touch with my immediate directing officer and urged him that whatever the troubles might be that it was imperative for the welfare of the public that their differences be threshed out behind closed doors and not in the public press and if the interests of the policymakers, for which he professed so much concern, was at stake the insurance commissioners of the various states would certainly see to it that the policyholders' interests were protected, and in the case of the stockholders, in the business of the Board of Directors who are elected by the people to protect their interests, and in my humble opinion the public would have nothing to gain by an airing of personal stories in the columns of the public press. I simply state this in order that you might get an idea of how the public is taking the matter locally. I am pleased to state that after reading the article in the Afro, we have been able to greatly help our policyholders with the assurance that the Company is not on the rocks as was concluded by them after reading the article the previous week. The local business has not suffered to any great extent by persons refusing to pay their premius but it has taken practically all the time of the force to give explanation and reasonable assurance that the condition of the Company warranted the continuation of the payment of their premiums. It is worth much time that the sales end of our work has been materially affected. I believe that when the editors of the public press have had a chance to digest both sides of this question, their valuable opinions will do wonders towards the restoration of public confidence which is so vital to the continuation of any business. Assuring you of our appreciation of your cooperation in the past, I am Very truly yours, J. E. HUBBARD. The Other Side. Chicago, Ill. — Anthony Overton, president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, has issued a statement in answer to the joint-statement of Charles A. Shaw and James E. Stamps, employees who were involved in the case of directors, but who secured an injunction under which they are still "The Victory Life Insurance Company's financial statement, filed with the insurance department of the State of Illinois of December 31, 1931, shows the satisfactory condition of the company. "Certain garbled, distorted, prejudiced and biased statements sent to the press by certain disgruntled, discharged employees, which were designed to give the company the managemen- t, and that might reflect upon the solvency of the company, necessitates a plain statement of true facts that will refute the slanderers' misstatements and aspersions fathered by twin in- grates, who, having been succored, fed and fattened, would not only bite the hand that fed them, but, like Sampson, in their blind rage would pull down the pillars of this financial temple of strength and defender, the officers, stockholders, and policy-holders of the company. "Neither James E. Stamps, former director of agencies, nor Charles A. Shaw, former secretary, owned one share of stock in the Victory Life Insurance Company, prior to September-October, 1931, when, solely to carry out their schemes to disrupt the company, they invested as follows; at $35 per share they purchased one share each, September 3; two shares each October 13, and one joint share on October 13—making a total of three and one-half shares each. These shares were bought by these men just prior to the meeting on October 13, and solely to hold in my overthrow and the disruption of the board of directors. Over and against this showing, I have to date invested $225,000 of my own money in this enterprise. "Notwithstanding the extreme sacrifice which I had made, constant rumors and information reached me that the very men who benefited most by my sacrifice, were plotting and scheming to oust me from the presidency and elect Dr. Savory of New York as nominal president, and James E. Stamps, as executive vice-president, in full charge, with Shaw as a more authoritative secretary, and one Isaacs as assistant secretary with increased powers. It was also rumored that in the course of time the company was to be moved to New York. One of the first steps on the part of Dr. Savory as a preyary show of his appreciation of their work in the special meeting to insist on voting each of the three an increase in salary. Originally I owned about 4,008 of the 8,000 shares. My having surrendered 1,844 shares in the interest of the company, left me without control, in fact with only one-third of the total. "The public is easily misled by wild and sensational statements of half-truths and misrepresentations. Only by reading, digesting and giving sober and serious consideration to the real and true facts of this controversy, only a small part of which space will permit making public at this time, should fixed opinions be formed. Unfounded rumors should not part in disturbing the public confidence in a solvency prize on which the founder and his elates have spent years of toil, time and money in building up in the interest of and protection of the people." OUR SINGERS SCORE BIG In Spirituals at the Museum of Art— All Highly Praised by Local Newspaper Music Critics. Augustus Grist, baritone, and the Deep River quartet, composed of Alfred Wart and Moreland Earl, tenors, and E. G. McKinney and Eugene Wright, bassos, gave a program of spirituals, Sunday afternoon, at the Museum of Art. Their voices are pleasantly mellow and blend well; also, show the results of careful, intelligent training. There is precision at all times and unanimity of shading. Marguerite Sanford is the accompanist and director of this group. She played with great discretion. The quartet was warmly received, and so was Mr. Grist, the soloist, who likewise confined his efforts to spirituals; which he does exceedingly well. The voice expressive quality and the skillful control, Nathaniel E. Dett's arrangement of "Poor Me." and Harry T. Burleigh's arrangements of "I Stood on the River of Jordan." and "Hard Trials" were particularly well done.

American writers in the Hawaiian Islands admit that there is very little race prejudice and antagonism in Hawaii! All white, yellow, brown and black and the various mixtures of blood dance and mingle socially. They say that the only racial feeling ever to enter the islands has been that from prejudiced officers (and their wives) in the service of the U. S. who come from the southern states and regard all dark people as "Negroes." The only dislike in the islands, we are told, is to the Filipinos who do the work in the fields. THE COURT'S EXCUSE WEAK. The effort, thru the daily press of the country, of the justices of Alabama's supreme court, which last week affirmed the death sentence of seven of the eight innocent Scottboro, Ala., boy-victims, to justify their harrowing act by charging that efforts to intimidate them were made by persons sending them protest-messages, against the very thing they did, falls very flat indeed, just as it should. Their claim that the messages contained demands that the prisoners be freed and that some of them threatened members of the court ought not to be seriously regarded by the country at large, because it is really too ridiculous, coming from experienced jurists of long standing who ought to be occupying a plane far above that indicated by their puerile claim. The court's granting one of the lads a new trial, greatly weakens their camouflage claim when it is recalled that all but one of the eight boy-victims are but one year older than Eugene Williams, the lad granted a new trial on the ground that he was only sixteen years of age. Today is former State Senator John P. Green's eighty-seventh birthday and he is still "trying cases in our courts," the "dean of the local bar." Really wonderful! Sincerest congratulations, Senator, from "The Old Reliable" Gazette and its readers, everywhere, throut the country. It will always be a matter of keen regret upon the part of very many persons of both classes or races of people in this community that Gov. Myers Y. Cooper did not see his way clear to appoint Senator Green a judge of our local municipal court just before the close of his last year as Governor of Ohio, the senator being so very highly recommended for the position by our leading appellate, common pleas and municipal court judges as well as by leading citizens of both races in this city and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. The oldest practicing attorney at the local bar should have been permitted to spend his closing years, "in the harness," as a judge of a local court. He had it by fifty years' service to the people in the courts and as a campaigner for Republican success. THE SCOTTSBORO CASES. Atty. Geo. W. Chamlee of Chattanooga, former attorney general of Tennessee, representing the I. L. D., will make a motion for an appeal, to the U. S. Supreme Court, of the case of the eight Scottsboro, Ala., boy-victims, of a baneful race prejudice, again sentenced to the electric chair, last week, by the supreme court of Alabama. The chief justice of that court had the decoy to refuse to concur in its miserable decision, a miscarriage of justice, and in so doing saved a little respect, at least, from the country at large, for that more or less August body. Under the circumstances, we presume it is entirely too much to expect Gov. B. M. Miller of Alabama to release the "framed" victims by pardoning, parolling or commuting their sentence, but that is what he ought to do, nevertheless. The electrocution of those innocent lads, but little more than children at best, would be an ineraseable blot upon the eschutcheon of even Alabama, one of the two or three most backward states in all the south. VICTORY LIFE INS. CO. We desire to call the attention of our readers, particularly, to the statement of President Anthony Overton and the letter of Mr. J. E. Hubbard, of this city, elsewhere in The Gazette, today. The latter is a better answer to the Chas. A. Shaw and Jas. E. Stamps newspaper attack upon President Overton and the Victory Life Ins. Co. than anything we have seen published in any of our papers. Mr. Hubbard makes clear what is nearly always true: It is a great mistake to thresh out in the public press business differences of the kind foisted on the public by Charles A. Shaw and Jas. E. Stamps, employees and small stockholders of the company. As Mr. Hubbard well says, those differences should have been "threshed out behind closed doors" because of the baneful effect of such public discussion upon the policy-holders and others financially interested in the Victory Life Insurance Company, as well as the public at large. The strongest and best statement in President Ahnthony Overton's reply to the Shaw-Stamps attack, and the one to which all should pay attention, is its first paragraph in which he calls attention to the fact that "the Victory Life Insurance Company's financial statement filed with the insurance department of the state of Illinois, Dec. 31, 1931, shows the satisfactory condition of the company." It is most reassuring to stockholders and policyholders particularly who, while they may deplore the internal strife unfortunately brot to the attention of the public, cannot fail to be fully reassured by the knowledge that the great state of Illinois stands back of the financial condition of the Victory Life Insurance Company. Prime Sport News "Gorilla" vs. "Chuck" Burns. Akron, O.—When "Fighting Willie" Jones, also known as "Gorilla", climbed into the Armory ring, last night, to trim "Chuck" Burns of San Antonio, the middleweight champion weighed 147 pounds, or approximately 25 pounds less than Burns. It was Jones' initial appearance before the fight fans of his home town since he became champion. Godfrey and Pesek to "Bassle." BOURKE George Godfrey, leading contender for the world heavyweight boxing title and a wrestler, and John Posek, the Nebraskan "Tiger," will clash in the headline bout at the Equestrian, Tuesday night. Since turning to the mat game, Godfrey has engaged in 68 matches and won 67. Big George decided on a wrestling career when the leading boxers refused to meet him because he was too big and too good a "boxer." Owens Half the Show. In the C. A. C. carnival at public auditorium, last Saturday afternoon, East Tech, led by its flaming star, Jesse Owens, made a show of the rest of the field by rolling up one of the largest point totals in the history of the meet. The "Carpenters" scored 43 points, of which Owens contributed 17 by winning two first and tying at least one high jump. Lakewood, sad to relate, didn't even grab the runner-up position, and had to be content with 14 3-5 points for fourth place. Toledo Scott totaled 18 points for second place and Erie East 15 for third. Outstanding among the record performances were Young Owens' mark in the 50-yard dash, which he sped in 5.03 seconds to break the high school meet record. He was by George Stinson, Ohio State spinner, at the hall two years ago. Jesse simply run away from the rest of the boys in the dash event, leaving a gap of four yards between himself and the rest of the field. No more soullarming an ovation was tendered Jack Keller of Ohio State for his wonderful work than that tendered Jesse Owens, E. ech's one-man track team, as he won the office of the meet. The section of the meet in three events: the 50-yard place, the 50-yard hurdle and the high jump. He possibly would have added to his already heavy laurels except for a rule prohibiting participation in more than three events. The "Carpenters" started out to pile up their margin in the events when Owens sped to the easy victory in the school meet. The record of East Tech high in class 1, comprising all class A schools of the district and several other districts throut the state, ended Lakewood's eight-year reign over the indoor carnival.

Delay in Richardson's Case Caused By His Counsel Imprisoned in Technicals Tuesday, Judge Lee Skeel deferred sentencing "Billie" Richardson, "big shot" in the policy racket who was convicted of perjury, last week, until today (Saturday). This after hearing arguments by the counsel who presented a new trial on a technicality, Atty H. Frank Van Lill of the law firm of Orgill, Maschke and Wickham, told the court that the state had not introduced two witnesses, to show that Richardson had committed perjury, before the county grand jury, as required by law, to acquit the counsel witnesses or one witness and corroborative circumstances must be produced to testify to the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, Q.

Sure Looks Like It—Accused of "Grafting"—Loses His Job and Is Arrested—Dwight R. Williams His Successor. Ormande A. Forte, age 44, of 9409 Parmalee Ave., former clerk and assistant superintendent of the garbage plant, was charged, Saturday, with "soliciting and accepting a bribe" of $25 from a truck driver on a promise that he would see that the driver did not lose his job. This was in a warrant issued by the prosecutor's office. Dwight R. Williams, 2199 E. St., active as a campaigner in the record in the second year was named Forte's successor. Forte was dismissed by Service Director Wm J. Kennedy, last week Friday night, following his arrest. David B. Thurman, 2733 E. 31st St., the truck driver, swore to an affidavit that he had paid Forte the money. Detective Inspector Cornelius W. Cody and Detective Sergeant James Hogan arrested Forte, last week Friday, at the garbage loading station on Canal road. The prisoner had $25 in his pocket. He was given him by Thurman, the two escaped charged. Thurman said Forte had asked money from him and $50 each from three other truck drivers, promising that this would prevent their dismissal by the New Democratic city administration. All four employees are "carryovers" from the Republican administration. Forte claims he accepted the money as a loan. Kennedy and Safety Director Frank J. Merriack previously had been investigating that Forte was taking money from his promising to "save" their jobs. Hearing was continued to April 12 when Forte's attorney, Garrett Stevens, demanded preliminary examination. ASK CLEMENCY For the Eight Innocent Scottsboro Ala., Boy-Victims of Baneful Southern Racial Prejudice— "The Negro Doctor." A resolution, asking the governor of Alabama to release the eight innocent Scottsboro boy-victims, was unanimously adopted, Sunday afternoon, by St. James forum. It also called on the world at large to protest the death-sentence affirmed, last week, by the Alabama state supreme court and urged the I. L. D. to carry the case of the boys to the U. S. Gov. B. M. Miller of Alabama was asked to commute their death sentence. The principal talk of the forum was made by Dr. Jas. A. Owen, speaking on "The Afro-American's Opportunity in Medicine." He said among other things that our doctors and surgeons are gradually being recognized by hospitals of the country; that they are, however, still handicapped by race prejudice and economic jealousy; that the establishment of hospitals by philanthropists that do not permit racial segregation or discrimination against our physicians and nurses.

My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with the earth is filled, There is a flash in man's ob- durate 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 enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotee him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.

(Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.)—WNU Service. FROG legs, once almost an exclusive tidbit of Gallic peoples, are adorning many American dinner tables. Sixty million frog legs are consumed in New York city annually. Chicago also proves that frog eating is becoming "Americanese," for more than thirty-six million were eaten in that city last year. San Francisco palates were "tickled" by more than sixteen million frog legs; New Orleans ate slightly more, and Los Angeles slightly less. In fact, frog logs have become so popular that a new industry—frog ranching—has come into American industrial life. California has no native frogs but ranchers have seen to it that many pairs have been imported from Louisiana to habilitate synthetic frog lakes and marshes. The frog's entry on American menus recalls many strange foods of the world. In the markets of the United States where frog legs may be purchased, the housewife may buy a fresh "marsh rabbit" which, before trapping and skinning, was none other than a muskrat. For two centuries a town in Massachusetts has supported a seaweed (Irish moss) industry. Irish moss is torn from New England rocks and is used in making blanckmance and many other puddings. There are some 200 edible seaweeds from which are extracted ingredients for American ice creams, jellies, pastries, cereal foods and salads, while in Japan the weeds are bolled with rice and strips of meat and placed in a popular sandwich called sushi. The Japanese cultivate seaweed and in Tokyo bay the "farmers" employ more than 3,000 people. Raw monkey brains on the half skull, pigskins and bird's nest soup and pickled water beetles are eaten in China. Silkworms are eaten after the cocoon has been unwound. Horses, donkeys and camels, after they have lost their usefulness as beasts of burden, are consumed by some Asiatic tribes. Caterpillars, frogs and snails are relished when obtainable. Water lilys bulbs make delectable oriental desserts. The bulbs are often called water chestnuts. Their nutritive value is compared with that of tapioca. Old Eggs Liked In China. Chinese enjoy eggs whose owners have long forgotten their age. The orientals claim they lend a somewhat oysterlike taste to oriental soups. Jellyfish also are relished along the Asiatic seaboard. At Japanese ims the traveler is told that "Bombay duck" can be had at a reasonable price. The hungry customer visions a fat fowl but the waiter brings in pieces of smoked fish about two inches long and as thin as a dime. The menu also includes pickled seaweed, seaweed jelly, and chutney, which resembles pickled citron, but is almost as hot as Mexican chile. More raw than cooked fish is eaten by Japanese. Raw baby octopuses are particularly popular, "Japanese Limburger" is not a cheese but a Japanese pickled diakon, or long white radish. Koreans, like many orientals live mostly on rice. They cook their seaweed in oil and serve it with slices of red peppers. Kimsehe, a kind of suerkurp, is a favorite Korean dish. To the north, the natives of Kamchatka relish the tongues and the narrow of the bones of reindeer, but the piece-de-resistance is the meat of unborn fawns. From the stomach of the reindeer the natives obtain their greens—half digested balls of moss. A popular native dish is reindeer sausage which has been surrounded by dough and dropped into boiling water. On the lower end of the peninsula where salmon are plentiful, dishes of boiled fish eyes are considered a delicacy. Some inhabitants of Asia Minor prefer sheep eyes. New Guinea natives find China a good market for shark's fins from which the Celestials make a delectable soup, and also for beche de mer, a large sea slug found in south Pacific waters. Eel Is a Popular Dish. The New Guinea natives are fond of the pith of sago palms, potatoes and bananas; and dog, snake and lizard flesh vie with that of the pig. The womenfolk gather beetles, grubs and larvae from trees to grace the festive board. Eel meals are as popular among Japanese as are Maryland chicken dinners in Baltimore. In some Japanese cities, eel houses are nearly as numerous as weiner stands at a county fair. When the diner enters an eel house he is led to a large tub of live eels. He makes his choice of the wriggling creatures, it is speared, split along the back, cut into small pieces, and with soy sauce, is cooked over a charcoal fire. Perhaps few people live as close to nature as the pygmies of the Belgian Congo. Tender roots are staples, but birds, small game, rodents or caterpillars are not objectionable. In addition to many viands on the pygmy bill of fare, the Madagascar natives eat a species of spider, silkworms, grasshoppers, and dried locusts. When a "cloud" of locusts settles on a crop, a sufficient number of them are collected to offset the loss of food which the insects consume. Every good native Madagascar housewife has in reserve a supply of dried locusts to sustain the family in times of famine. Grasshopper soup is a Hottentot dish of merit. Arabs make a flour of the dried insects. Yak cheese is a staple in the Mull kingdom of western China and would not be objectionable to the western traveler if it were not for the numerous yak hairs in the substance. On the table of the Corsican, a traveler might see half of the head of a lamb with tongue, cheek and brain in place. About the time the American appetite is whetted for Thanksgiving turkey, Corsican fishermen are catching eels for home consumption and for shipment to Nice and Naples where they are a delicacy. A diner in a restaurant in Spreewald, Germany, whose order does not include eels will draw a curious glance from native patrons. There, eels, cucumbers and cherry pie, are "national dishes." Truffles of France. The varied bill of fare of the Frenchman includes foe grass—a paste of fatty goose livers. Truffles are rare delicacies. French farmers are frequently seen leading their pig and dog "truffle sniffers" over the fields. Truffles are small, round, blackish-gray fungi which usually are found about six inches below the surface of the earth. When the "sniffer" locates a truffle, he tries to uproot it. When near the choice morsel his master strikes him sharply on the nose with a stick and completes the digging. Later the animal is rewarded by the rough trimmings of the truffle with a view to keeping his truffle scent keen. Basques about Bilboa, Spain, relish white, transparent worms about two inches long. They are fried in oil and are served hot. One unusual meat is served not far from the American border. The Indians of Mexico prefer Iguana flesh to chicken. The appearance in the markets of the green lizardlike body, bedecked with a crest of spines running down to a long alligator-like tail, dulls the appetite of the hungry alien shopper. Crocodile meat is good food in Africa and southern negroes enjoy the tails of the reptiles. Meat of sharks from temperate and tropical waters has a good market in Africa and also on the Malay peninsula while the great Arctic shark is a native food of Greenland. Europe takes its snail industry seriously. Snail harvesting begins in June of each year when whole families desert their homes to beat the bushes in the alps near the Franco-Swiss frontier. Like oysters, snails should be eaten only in the "R" months of the year, so many of the collected snails are taken to "snail farms" and fed up on vegetables and many varieties of green leaves for marketing. Paris is one of the world's leading snail consuming cities. Sixty to eighty million snails are handled in the French capital during a single winter. There are peoples who literally eat dirt. In the Sudan, portions of South America and in the West Indies, many tribes eat certain kinds of clay they find on the river banks. They believe it is a remedy for anemia and for many other maladies. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, APRIL 2. 1932. Flowers on Milady's Easter Bonnet Flowers on Milady's Easter Bonnet By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE HAT. COMES Easter, comes the urge for a new spring "bonnet." As the calendar brings us an unusually early Easter this year, it is high time that the "do it now" policy should turn our steps in the direction of the nearest smart millinery shop. The new modes are in such a decidedly "we aim to please" mood, the matter of hat shopping becomes an adventure of sheer delight. All the winsome feminine foibles of flowers, feathers, ornaments and saucy little vells which make milady's "bonnet" pretty enough to inspire the poet to write a spring sonnet, answer "present" to the roll call this season. And there's brims, don't forget brims. They are as flattering as flattering can be. Some of them have a way of turning up at the back which is ever so new looking. Then again they mount skyward at one side while the other side takes a perilous dip downward over the right eye. Even the new sailors, and by the way, sailors are tremendously good this spring, have gone on a spree of lilts and tits which gives them any amount of chic. As to the collection here pictured, each model carries an illuminating message concerning current millinery trends. The hat at the top to the left tells us that crowns draped of sheerest transparent velvet, either in pastel, black or high colors are part of the spring programs. It also indicates the dip-over-the-right eye movement which prevails at present. The wee chapeau with a piquant flaring veil shown next, "says it" in unmistakable terms. The two little colls of velvet make a charming finish to this modish cap-fitting toque, which comes straight from Paris. To the right, at the top, the sketch INGENIOUS SPORT FROCKS INTRIGUE Campus wardrobes have the pick of the pack as far as spring fashion go. For never before have there been so many ingenious sports costumes, such original sweaters and skirts, such slick, trick and youthful tailored frocks. Skirts and blouses offer endless variations for campus costumes, at prices that fit any school girl budget. The becoming new sweaters delight the hearts of coeds. Altogether, it's a big year for the colleges. A navy fannel basket-weave skirt is worn with a polo shirt of white peau d'ange jersey, on some of our smart campuses. The waistband of the skirt has a point front and center and is adjustable, so that the waistline may be either normal or raised. Puffed short sleeves and a high, tiled neckline distinguish a blouse of navy blue solid color canton crepe, which is daring and effective when worn with a skirt of bright red flannel, sporting a large silver belt buckle. Wooden or cork buttons fasten a short jacket of beige herringbone angora, with a matching skirt. It is worn with a zephyr gingham blouse striped in red, yellow and brown. A Brown Straw Jacket! Can You Feature That? Straw was added to the economical features in spring styles when a prominent dressmaker showed a jacket and dress trimmings, both of close-woven lace straws. A fitted hip-length brown straw jacket was worn with a beige cotton sports frock. A black silk coat had a white lace straw collar. Very smart indeed are belts made of natural colored string held together with narrow yellow cord. Bags of brown rough silk are also ornamented with the same string. Your Copy or an Acqu Made of String portrays a member of the popular sailor family. It is one of the smart-for-spring rough, shiny, black straw, has a trim of velvet ribbon and is tilted to expose one side of the hair. The hat sketched to the center left is designed for a young girl. Note its shallow crown, the up-one-side and down-at-the-other pose of the brim, also the use of velvet ribbon in contrasting colors. The sailor shown to the right of the center photograph proclaims the vogue of the allover machine-stitched fabric hat. It has a perky velvet bow. So far the hats described have a touch of velvet which is something to remember when looking about for the new spring hat. A most important message which fashion is broadcasting is in regard to the flower-trimmed hat. French milliners are making a liberal use of them this spring. Massed in flat effects, as on the black milan straw hat centered in the group, is the favored method of handling the dainty posies which glorify the new hats with a springtime spirit. The lines of this narrow brim are especially new. The three hats shown below call to mind that milliners strongly endorse positioning the trimming at the back. The beret to the left is draped of straw cloth. It is worn at an angle so as to show the collar at one side. Blue velvet forget-me-nots are clustered at the back in boutonniere effect. One of the "scuttle-brim" shapes is sketched in the center of this trio. Its white straw brim is crowned with black velvet. The gardenias at the back are also in black and white. A smart rough straw sailor with a quill concludes this group. (© 1932, Western Newpaper Union.) This is a season of beguiling wraps. The black velvet cape-scarf sketched has a wide lace border caught loosely with a brilliant clip so that the decoletage is left free, making a gracious and charming covering for the arms, as it falls into artful points toward the front. Daytime Coats in Gay Colors Replace Blacks Distinctly dazzling are the daytime coats now appearing on smart French women in chic places of the capital, now that they have finally decided to try something other than their favorite black. The Baroness Edouard de Rothschild, who has rarely worn anything but black or white, has been seen in one of Madeline Vionnet's beige woolen coats with a silver fox collar scarf which slips over the head and around the waist. The Grand Duchess Marie of Russia is wearing Lelong's brown broadcloth coat for smart daytime events, a simple straight-line one with large draped collar of beaver and barrel cuffs of the same fur. It has a broadcloth belt and two flaring ties of it at the waistline. of The C aintance w BORI AND GIGLI TO STAR IN "MANON" With Them Will Be Tibbett, Rothier and Other Grand Opera Stars—Bori, Pons, Moore and Tibbett in "Tales of Hoffman" at Saturday Matinee—Marvelous Casts in All Operas. Those two great lovers, of grand opera, Lucrencia Bori and Beniamino Gigli, will be heard in a most popular opera, "Manon," on Friday night, April 22, during the ninth spring festival of grand opera in Cleveland's public hall. With them will be Lawrence Tibbett, the great will be Leonard Greenstein star, and the famed French basso, Leon Rothier, supported by a large cast of the stars of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York City. For nine years Bori and Gigli have sung the great love operas in the Cleveland seasons and their nights A. LUCREZIA BORI have been outstanding in each season. It is expected that "Manon," which was a popular choice for the repertoire, will prove another sell-out. The season opens on Thursday night, April 21, with Lily Pons in her sensational new opera "Lakme," which has been revived by the Metropolitan expressly for her. The opera is staged on a lavish scale of East Indian splendor and the bold numbers rival anything in the Broadway repertoire. "All-Ohio" bill on Saturday, April 23, is a unique presentation in which four great sopranos of the Metropolitan will be heard in the two operas of the day. At the Saturday matinee, Lucreia Bori, Lily Pons and Grace Moore will sing the there roles of "Tales of Hoffmann," with Lawrence Tibbett, Frederick Jagel, Pavel Ludikar, and a marvelous cast.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other north- states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob.

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 1844: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12040. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, to all citizens, 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 ninety days, or both. Dec. 19, 2014. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is people who are notorious for the theft they would but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
