SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IT BUYS AND CONTROLS OUR GOVERNMENT, SAYS GOV. GIFFORD PINCHOT.

Defeat of the general sales tax was accomplished because Congress suddenly broke from its wealth-controlled leaders . . . Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania thus arraigned the nation's wealthy, in Cleveland, April 2, '32, when he told the City club "How They Get It."

Tall, slender, ascetic-looking, Pennsylvania's governor is himself a millionaire. Hits at Wealth's Power. launched a barrage of invective. "For years the financial chieftains have exercised a crooked control over official Washington. They have used their money to influence every important national policy for their own private good. They have bought, paid for and profited tremendously from their control of the government of the United States. That is the answer to the question 'How do they get it?' the governor asserted. "This depression may yet kindle a political readjustment as far-reaching and radical as possible, freed the American colonies from the economic tyranny of eighteenth century England. The tyranny of concentrated wealth is just as vicious and just as real today. There is not even a political excuse for its existence among the democratic people of a self-governing nation.

I want to see them put an end to government of, by, and for concentrated wealth.

He traced the story of the rise of great fortunes, and he charged that owners of these fortunes had controlled Congress and the administra- THE ANNUAL DRIVE.

"There can be no doubt that the administration demanded the shocking defeat of the Costigan-La Follette relief bill. The magnates did not care that that bill would have meant relief from acute cold and hunger to millions upon millions of suffering Americans. They only cared in their passage would have cost them a little of their precious fortunes," he said. Lands House Action. "But the magnates sometimes go too far. Because they went too far, Congress suddenly broke from its wealth-controlled leaders and raised the tax rates on the higher bracket incomes, and wrecked the general sales tax. There has never been a clearer case of money control in America than the effort of the Hoover coalition of reactionary Democrats and reactionary Republicans to put over the sales tax. The sales tax proves more than the mere existence of money control. It proves what I have often said, that there is no politics in politics; that the organizations of both parties are dominated by the same people used for same purpose—to take money from the people and put it into the hands of the magnates." Get Money From Control. He pointed out that in 1923 there were 513 men in America with over $1,000,000 of taxable income a year, with a total taxable income of over $1,200,000,000. "If you say they get it through special privilege I reply that you have given part of the answer. If you say that they get it from the nation's natural resources, or railroads or utilities, or tariff-protected industries, you have given another part. If you say that they get it out of the nation's government, then you have summed up the whole case and hit the nail on the head," he declared. He said that the people were awakening from the delusion that the nation's affairs are best handled by its wealthy men. "Public Tires of Promises."

He asked that all parish lists be sent to the office of the charities corporation at once, if pastors already have not done so. The motto for the drive this year again will be, "Every member of every parish a member of the Catholic Charities Corporation," which carries on its work through memberships, donations and bequests. Eugene Quigley, new president of the organization, has named Herman R. Neff, prominent Clevelandian who is noted for his success in directing campaign chairman. Bishop Schrembs is honorary chairman with these honorary chairmen: Rt. Rev. Msgr. Gilbert P. Jennings, LLD., V.F., the Very Rev. John A. Schafeld, V.F., and the Rev. C. H. LeBlond, diocesan director of charity. Membership in the corporation numbered more than 45,000 in 1931 and the drive, this year, is directed to exceed this number. "THE LIFE-BOAT." A Playlet in Three Acts Given At the Christian Community Center The annual meeting of the Christian Community Center, last week Thursday evening, was a decided success. On the program was a three act playlet, "The Life-Boat," written and directed by Sylvester Williams, and staged by over 100 children. The annual address was delivered by Rev. R. M. Caver, pastor of Bethany Baptist church. Remarks were made by Mrs. Jennie K. Zurick, Rev. R. W. Freda Geo. B. Harris and Arthur H. Day, and Rev. W. Harry Freda, chairman of the board of the Center. Rev. D. R. Sharpe, ex. sec. Cleveland Baptist Association, presided. Several letters of regrets were received from friends of the Center who could not be present. Former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, a very staunch supporter of the institution, sent a telegram from New York City. According to Director Wm. Adams, several thousand families were invited to Center during the year. The children of the center are given suppers, three times per week. Miss Ruby Baker is women and girls' club worker at the Center.

HARRY C. SMITH. Sworn to and subscribed before me this the 4th day of April, 1932 (Seal) PAUL ARIELE. Sort 29 (My commission expires Sept. 26, 1933.) Yes, we are interested in the annual drive of the Catholic Charities Corporation for several reasons, one of which is we have a church of that denomination in E. 79th St., "Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament." Therefore, all of our people should be interested and help as much as they can to make the annual drive a success. The Catholic church does a great deal for our people in many parts of the country. That is why, for many years, we have been numbered among its thousands of small yearly-contributors — sending only "an earnest of good will." If that quartet of southern Americans, one woman and three U. S. navy men, one her son-in-law, are not convicted of murder in the first degree, that trial now on in a Honolulu, Hawaii, court room will be one of the greatest travesties of justice the world has ever known. The American newspaper correspondents in Honolulu seem to prefer to refer to the wanton killing of the young Hawaiian, who had not been proven guilty of any crime, as a lynching. Yes, it was a cold-blooded lynch-murder, pure and simple, which the four guilty Americans should be made to answer for with their lives. Their guilt stinks to high heaven. It is so raw and rotten. GRAND OPERA. Next week Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Cleveland is to have the great Metropolitan Opera Company at Public auditorium in four of the finest operas. Do not fall to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity, to the limit of your financial ability. No one will listen to any one of the operas given but who will be greatly benefited, mentally and physically. The company brings the greatest stars of opera with a chorus and other singers, and orchestra such as no other country in the world can boast of today. The presence of the Metropolitan Opera Company in Cleveland affords a wonderful opportunity that few cities in this country enjoy and one that none of us, able to take advantage of, should miss. Hear "Lakme", "Manon", "Tales of Hoffman", and "La Gioconda" next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, or as many of them as you are able to. GREYHOUND BUS LINES. The fight the N. A. A. C. P. is waging on the Greyhound Bus Company, before the Public Service Commission of Pennsylvania, because of the Bus Co.'s segregation of passengers, solely on the basis of color or race, is to be commended. For a long time there have been complaints and the company has lost several civil rights damage suits in this state, instituted under our Ohio Civil Rights Law, because of racial discrimination of various kinds. Only a few weeks ago, a suit was filed in a local court against the Greyhound Bus Co. because of its segregation and other mistreatment of two of our local residents (women) who made a trip to California over the Greyhound Bus lines. Their petition in the case includes six different charges of color-line mistreatment and they ask $20,000 damages as a result, every dollar of which we sincerely trust they will get. VERY IMPORTANT. Atty. Perry B. Jackson, former member of the Ohio Legislature from this county, in an address, last week Monday evening, voiced a timely warning to all of our people of the state of Ohio when he called attention to the Ku Klux Klan's announced program for State Assembly legislation, next winter, most of which is directed against the rights of our people of this state. For many years, all the representation in the State Assembly our people have had has come from this (Cuyahoga) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) counties. Our better and practically only chance for representation in the Ohio Legislature, next winter, rests in this county. Therefore, it is here that our voters must concentrate an effort above the ordinary to secure the nomination of at least one member of the race at the Republican primaries, next month, May 10, 1932. There are four local Afro-American candidates for nominations as state representative and at least one of them must be nominated, May 10. The Ku Klux Klan's proposed legislation, against the vital interests of our people of Ohio, includes bills for separate or "jim-crow" schools and against inter-marriage, both of which as laws would set us back at least a quarter of a century and be most harmful indeed. Particularly vicious would be the law against inter-marriage because, like all other state laws of the kind throughout the country (in border and southern states), it places our girls and women at the mercy of white brutes who take advantage of them in one way and another, and leaves them without any protection whatever under the law. Therefore, the need of Afro-American representatives in the next State Assembly is imperative. The present outlook is that if we fail to elect at least one here in Cuyahoga county, we will be without such representation in the legislature which convenes in January of next MT.

The rumor of some weeks ago, which appeared in a local publication, to the effect that Myron McAdoo, a former resident of this city, had been sentenced to ten years in the federal penitentiary, in New York, for selling dope is untrue, and is unfortunate from the fact that it naturally distressed greatly his immediate family, relatives and friends. Mr. McAdoo, with his wife and two children, resides in S. Braintree, Mass, where he is in the real-estate business. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Our morality or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a person of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury"; for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6228. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor surviving, the sum such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162. 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such person (Section 6284 v. 162 6 v.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289 This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894 The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12240. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barrister-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and amenities afforded not less than fifty dollars but not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days or more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Obj. 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. WE TOLD YOU SO. Before and after the recent election, The Gazette continued to warn our misguided so-called local "Negro" Democrats that they were going to be sadly disappointed for allowing themselves to be fed promises of appointments to good positions and jobs in return for their support of the Democratic candidate for mayor. They were told by local Democratic leaders (white) and swallowed it, like a young sparrow does a worm, that even better representation would be given them under Mayor Miller than our people received from the local Republican organization. What has been the result to date? The best jobs our people held under the Republican regime, namely, the superintendency of the garbage plant, a clerkship in the city treasurer's office, an assistant police prosecutor, an assistant building inspector as well as such jobs as garbage inspector, janitors at the City Hall, garbage and rubbish collectors and many others have been given to white Democrats in recent weeks. In the street and other departments of the city where there were groups of eight and ten of our people, with possibly one or two of the other race, sent out to E, AL WELL THEY GET THE GERMANS KEEP THE OWN PRINCE, HATS ALL THE KAISER OUGH TO HAVE TRADED THE CROWN PRINCE FOR A GOOD HITTER HE WAS NO OUT FIELDER?

The result is, even sooner than we expected, the disappointment predicted has arrived, with the result that the leaders of the so-called local "Negro" Democrats have become greatly discouraged and have already abandoned the idea of greatly increasing their numbers with converts of color from the Republican ranks they expected to get as the result of the good positions and numerous jobs promised by the local Democratic leaders (white). It is just too bad, isn't it? Twas ever thus, however, as we predicted time and again before and immediately after the recent election.

HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! All of the Democratic leaders (white) invited side-stopped The Guide's recent anniversary banquet and dance. Why? They wouldn't have done this before election. Miss Wilma Bradford (deceased) was president of the LaBun club, a member of "The Modern Maidens", and Liberty Hill Baptist church. Rumor has it that her auto was a gift. From whom? Jos. H. Copenhagen (white), well-known in Central Ave., years ago, was appointed superintendent of the garbage plant by Mayon Ray T. Miller at a salary $300 more than was paid to S Nickens, Republican whom Copenhagen succeeded, recently. This sure was a "heartbreaker" for the so-called local-Democrats of color. John T. Raper, a columnist of the Cleveland Daily Press, had the following in its issue of April 7: "This antique craze is being carried to a ridiculous length," postcards T. R., and tells us that he saw this sign on a building in E. 55th street near Central avenue. Dr. V. O. Beck Physician. Ye Ear, Nose & Throat. Our local so-called Democratic leaders say that now that they have secured Dan Fairfax's political scalp, they are determined to get that of Sid Thompson whom Father McKinney, priest in charge of "Our Church of the Blessed Sacrament," insists must not be moved. This contest has already eventuated into a battle royal and the end is not yet Henry C. Crawford, a civil service employee, a switchboard operator, like Dan Fairfax an expert whose position cannot be readily filled, was let out, late last month. There is talk of his reinstatement since he was never active in politics. These are sure dark days for both Republicans and so-called Democrats of color. The question now is who is to succeed Miss Wilma Bradford (deceased) in the Board of Elections. There are several candidates for the place which is being temporarily held by a former stenographer of Councilman Roy Bundy. At the hearing, Monday, Ormonee Forte was bound over to the grand jury which indicted him. He is out on $500 bond. The small bail required shows that his case is not considered a strong or serious one. Atty. James C. Connell, who has been very kind to Forte and who is one the best prosecutors being him. Forte says Councilman George asked a fee of $200 to represent him which he did not have and that Councilman Lawrence O. Payne's first request was for $25 to secure bail. In view of the fact that he was very helpful to all of "The Blossom Triplets" while on the job," this seems strange. Attys. George and Payne might have volunteered their services and assistance on preparation of the assistance he has rendered them instead of allowing him to languish in jail from Friday night until Sunday morning when a friend went on his bail bond. The following letter which is even more than self-explanatory was published in The Press of April 7. "Sister" Taylor, who evidently wrote the letter, said the R. H. R. "Bellable" Gazette, says it, good and proper, and with words, too: "Dissatisfied With Mayor Miller. Editor of The Press: Since you backed Mr. R. T. Miller, and because in your paper you published his speeches and also those of his henchmen, maybe you can answer me this question." In these talks, or gusts of political hot-air, their promise was that in every vacancy made by removing a colored citizen, one would be replaced. What a farce. Several very men made it so. In one instance a white woman was put in his place. To me it seems a pity that any colored man or woman would so forget themselves as to vote a Democratic ticket, even on these so-called promises. So far they (local Democracies) have not made one important appointment. I am not speaking of garbage plant jobs, bath-house janitor or matron's jobs, but responsible positions. THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the concientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. "I OWE IT ALL TO HI-JA" How wonderful it is to be beautiful! To have hair that is long, soft and silky—hair that, when bobbed, falls in graceful curls, charmingly framing the face—hair that sevents the air with a dainty, mysterious perfume. Is it any wonder that such women are beloved? Gladys Robinson, famous leading lady of "The Smart Set", has such hair and says of it, "I owe it's beauty to Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Without this wonderful product I would be lost. It is the best thing of its kind I have ever tried and since I am an actress and one who must be as beautiful as possible all the time, I have naturally used many products."

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) - WNX Service VEGETABLES, not fish, will be the products of the broad expanse of the Zuiderzee, which now is having a complete change of water. Drainage and filling the Zuiderzee will add more than 1,000 square miles of farm land to the Netherland's area. The work when completed, will cost the Dutch government some $350,000,000. Long ago the ocean said to the Hollander, "You shall have no land here." The Hollander said to the ocean, "We will have a country here"; and they have one, in spite of water, winds, and waves. In Holland all is new—the gulfs, inks, and islands have come into existence under man's observation. He has seen within historic times sand close a river's mouth, land converted into water, and lakes dry up and disappear. The ordinary agencies of change—wind and wave, rain and flood, and the rise and fall of land—have here found a favoring field for their activities. Long after the greater part of the continent of Europe had become fixed and stable, Holland began its geographic formation and is still pursuing processes intended to hold or enlarge its boundaries. By the aid of old maps and documents we can learn what Holland was at the time it first found a place and designation on the world's charts, and following them in sequence one can note the changes that have been wrought by the action of the waters of the rivers, the waves of the sea, and the hunds of man—in short, how Holland was made. The power of the rivers one can see in the inundations; the action of the sea in the sand dunes along the coast; and the transformation by man everywhere. Before the birth of the Rhine a great part of the Netherlands, as we now see it, was a sea, limited on the German side by a rocky coast which now shows itself in the Tuetoburger Wald hills. The uplifting of the Ardennes enclosed a sea in the interior of Germany which, shielded by the Alps on its southern coast and protected from the cold winds of the north, became full to overflowing from the melting ice. Finally the pent-up waters broke through, and in the bed thus formed the Rhine has since been dooming. How the Land Was Formed. With the rush of the waters masses of rocks were hurried along until the moving force exhausted itself; smaller particles were carried farther, and when the sea was reached its resistance robbed the river of its final burden, and sand dunes formed the northern boundaries of Holland. The pebbles and grains of sand on which rests the soil of Gelderland and Overyssel and the island of Texel show that their primeval home was the basalt regions of the Rhine. The result of the conflict between the waters of the rivers and the sea into which they seek to find an outlier is seen in the deltas of our largest streams. Before reaching the Dutch frontier the Rhine has lost all the beauty of its banks, and flows in great, lazy curves suggestive of approaching old age. The indecision of senility is now seen in the separation of the Rhine into two parts. The main branch shamefully disavows its name and throws itself into the Meuse. a river of French origin; the other branch, insulted by the name of Danebrog canal, after going nearly to Arnheim, separates into two parts, one emptying into the Zulderzeer; the other, regaining its early name, though qualified as the Lower Rhine, goes as far as Duurstede, where it divides for the third time. During the reign of Louis Bonaparte a canal was opened through the dunes and the Rhine again conducted to the sea. The mouth of this canal is protected by enormous dikes and breakwaters and the sea itself is held in check by locks, or sluice-gates. When the tide is high these locks are closed, to prevent the waters of the sea from invading the land; when the tide falls they are opened, to give passage to the waters of the Rhine which have accumulated behind them, and then 3,000 cubic feet of water a minute pass out. Continual Battle With the Sea. The rivers of Holland, like all rivers whose lower reaches have but little fall, drop sediment along these lower levels, especially at their mouths. The sea has resisted this enclosure, and in retreating has continually fought to regain lost territory. It has thrown barriers across the river channel to make the rivers themselves destroy the land of their creation; it has buried the rich alluvial soil fathoms deep under unproductive sands, and where it does not throw up sand dunes as a fortress against itself, the state must accept the challenge and wage a royal battle. The other rivers that have contributed to the weal and woe of Holland have been less vacillating in approaching their outlets, but equal vigilance has been needed to keep their waters from inundating the land. Dikes must be built on both banks as high and as far upstream as experience demands. Along the North sea there are places where, owing to changing winds, the sand cannot accumulate in quantities sufficient to form protecting dunes. Here sea-dikes must be built—veritable fortifications. They are built of earth, firmly packed on the sea-face, and partly paved with dressed Norway granite or Rhine basalt blocks. Beginning at the top, the dimensions are as follows: Thirty feet across the top, on which there is a double-track railroad for the transportation of materials with which to make repairs. On the sea-face it inclines at an angle of 30 degrees for a distance of about 40 feet; then the slope is one in three. Here the stone paying begins and extends about 50 feet. From this point for 100 feet a sod surface is maintained, but beyond that for 110 feet, where the forces of the storm-lashed waves beat hardest, the surface is faced with stone. This carries the face to a point about three feet below high tide; then a flat pavement is laid out to and beyond the low-water line. As a precaution, three rows of piles are driven in to hold the facing in place, and two other rows of larger piles, with their tops protruding, extend along the line where the waves are, most aggressive. Costly. But Necessary. The amount of labor required to construct such fortifications can hardly be imagined and the cost is well-nigh beyond conjecture. The piles, all of which came from other lands, cost in place, $4 each. This defense is not an idle precaution. When the west winds drive the waters from the English channel to meet those deflected by Norway's unyielding shores, they fill up the North sea and seek their old course across the Netherlands. The sluggish current of the Zulderzee is a weak contestant with the remorseless tide of the North sea. Consequently its shifting sands threatened to close up the harbor of Amsterdam and also rendered precarious the navigation out to and around the Helder. It was therefore decided some years ago to construct a ship canal directly to the North sea. This great work was completed in 1870, with the sea terminus at Ijmulden. The sea being higher at high tide than the water in the harbor at Amsterdam, it was necessary to have big locks at that end. The traffic through this canal is so great that the water let through in the locking would soon become a source of danger. The harbor of Amsterdam is, therefore, shut off from the Zulderzee by means of dikes, with a series of locks to permit ingress and egress. Protecting Dikes Everywhere. It is not the sea alone that calls for the defending dikes. Every outlet into the sea must have embankments high enough to overlap the highest incoming tide, for twice every day these outlets become estuaries of the sea, and the land would be covered by the invading brackish water if it were not for the dike-like banks. The farmers frequently build their dwelling houses under the lee of these banks, and from the deck of a passing steamboat one can literally look down the chimney, though he may hardly, as same have claimed, see what the farmer' wife is cooking for his dinner. The Dutch word polder is a term applied to any area of land protected by an encircling dike and drained by its own system of pumps. Some of these are barely below the general level and need only a slight embankment; such are usually of firm soil, and after the removal of the water become arable fields. Others were originally ponds or lakes, or deposits of muck which have to be inclosed by more substantial embankments, and the removal of the water in the first instance as well as subsequently is a serious matter. HEADS LINCOLN RESEARCH WORK One of the best known Lincoln historians and scholars is Dr. Louis A. Warren, director since its establishment four years ago of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation, Fort Wayne, Ind. Under his direction, the Foundation has become one of the outstanding centers of Lincoln information in America. Doctor Warren began his studies of Lincoln fifteen years ago while editor of the Larue County Herald at Hodgsonville, Kentucky, birtb place of Abra- PETER B. DR. LOUIS A. WARREN ham Lincoln. His book, "Lincoln's Parentage and Childhood," based on a systematic search of Kentucky court records, is the recognized authority on this phase of Lincoln's life. For this research he was awarded in 1929 the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters by the Lincoln Memorial University He is editor of "Lincoln Lore." a weekly publication reaching 3,500 leading students of Abraham Lincoln in the United States, and aside from his duties as director of the Foundation, he is engaged in an exhaustive study of Lincoln's formative years—7 to 21—which were spent in Indiana. LINCOLN'S HUMANITY SAVED HONOR OF GIRL FORT WAYNE, IND.—A new example of Abraham Lincoln's humanity and sympathy for people in trouble has been discovered here in the archives of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation. It was contained in a letter to the martyred president from a young Philadelphia woman dated April 5, 1854, in which she poured out her heart to Lincoln and told him the story of her troubles. She had been engaged to a young man, who in 1853 enlisted for three years in the army. After a few months' service he was sent to a hospital sick. After his recovery he, with some other soldiers, was permitted to return home for the election. That was in October, 1853. The young woman said they had intended to get married while he was home, but due to the objections of her father, the soldier returned to his regiment a single man. The young woman confessed to the President that there had been intimacy between them and begged Lincoln to send her flance back home so that they could be married and prevent an "unlawful family," as she expressed it. In conclusion she wrote: "I hope and pray to God you may not cast me aside in scorn and dismay." Nine days later President Lincoln sent the girl's letter to the secretary of war, with the following annotation in his own handwriting: "Hon, Secretary of War—Send him to her by all means." Lincoln's Favorite "The most satisfactory likeness of him" is the way Robert Tood Lincoln described this picture of his father. In the museum of the Lincoln Historical Research Foundation at Fort Wayne Ind., is an original print of this photograph which was presented by the son of Abraham Lincoln to Arthur F. Hall president of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, when that concern was founded in 1905. The photograph taken by Brady in Washington in 1864 appears on the five dollar federal reserve notes and on the three-cent postage stamps. SATURDAY. APRIL 16. 1932 GRAY FLLANEL IS LATEST FAVORITE Wins Its Way Into Spring and Summer Mode. "Where are my flannels?" That used to be a distinctively masculine cry, but this year American households are going to be all confused, what with mother, father, brother and sister all attired in the classic gray flannels that have been the backbone of manly summer wardrobes for, lo, these many years. Contourists have discovered the immense practicality and the undoubted smartness of flannel for feminine wear this season, and it's going to be hard to differentiate between miltgentman and milady when they are all rigged up for a trip to the country club. Tailored suits of men's wear gray flannel are taking all comers by storm just now. Their simplicity, their unassuming air of being correct, above all, their easy wearability have established them at once as one of the leading suit styles of the season. One of the most popular styles is cut on the new military lines with trim epaulets and a stitched back belt. The skirt is slim and straight with only the slightest suggestion of flare. The blue and gray combination also is strong, many shops showing two-knit suits, consisting of a navy blue flannel jacket and both a matching and a gray flannel skirt. SMART COAT-DRESS BY CHERIE NICHOLAS 1 An early Easter, so the calendar tells us. Which means that one's choice of dress must be along practical lines, tuned to mid-season weather. In answer to this call fashion points to the coat-dress as ideal for immediate wear. The model pictured qualifies one hundred per cent good looking as well as eminently practical. Make it of any of the handsome lightweight spring woolens or, if you would follow in the footsteps of smart Parisiennes, fashion it of sheer beige velvet, as did Viomont in creating this smart mode. Note that the "lines" are long and slender which trim and trig tailoring demands this season. The color scheme is brown and beige, an exceedingly popular combination for spring. STYLE NOTES New cottons have a rugged wooden appearance. Skirts are extended to point above the waistline. Unlined coats that look like dresses are featured. ing feature of the new coats. Fashion approves wide-at- front belts which give diap- phram effects. Spring Jackets Short Short in line, long in chic, just about sums up the description of the jacket used for the latest suits. No matter whether the suit be for walking, or for afternoon wear, it must boast a short, fitted jacket. Sometimes, length is added by a curving border of fur, but as a rule, the short jacket is left to fend for itself, something that it does most successfully. That is, if the wearer is slim and graceful. The faring peplum gives an odd, denure look to the jacket and is being featured by several houses. Cape effects are also used, but whether the jacket is made with a peplum or a cape, it is always short. Prints Are Charming All-over prints are specially exciting this season. They are mostly of exotic flower designs in tropical colors, with no particular background. One of these combines palm-leaf green, pimento red, yellow and white. RAINBOW ECLIPSED BY SPRING COLORS Every Tint Will Be Smart the Coming Season. Spring clothes will be as gay as Joseph's famous coat of many colors and there will be just about as many tints to choose from. One might almost say that any and every color will be smart this spring, providing of course that it is becoming to the wearer, for nearly every one of the dressmakers has an individual favorite. Patou has pinned his faith on the blues and especially on his midnight blue which he prefers to black. He is also showing a new "Patou blue," which is more brilliant than flax which he also favors. A new orange rust shade is the favorite of another dressmaker, a most wearable shade for most women, often combined with dark brown or beige. There is also a new craze for dark mustard, which promises to be as much the rage as the chartreuse green of recent seasons. There is also a beautiful gunmetal which books very well with any dark fur. 1 A collar of red, blue and white knitted stripes gives a patriotic note to this attractive two-piece dress for this little girl who is going to be the envy of her classmates when she wears this charming outfit to school. It is a very practical model as it is made of cornflower blue corduroy and as every mother knows there is almost no wearout to corduroy. The skirt boasts the new fitted-at-the hip gored effect. The belted in blouse accents by contrast the broad-shouldered "wooden soldier" silhouette which is modish for little daughter this spring. Wrap-around dresses are newest. There is a movement toward narrower skirts. Prominence of stripes, checks and dots is cited. Suits stress short jackets above the waistline. Milliners absolete ornament trims, especially gallith. Monotone fabrics are trimmed in a novel way with bright prints. Afternoon Frocks for Spring Are Acclaimed Everyone here is enthusiastic about the new afternoon frocks designed for early spring wear. Women are ordering several models because, although the design and purpose of the frock is essentially simple, each model has several original and novel touches that make it good for general day wear, whatever the occasion may be. We have discarded elegance as expressed in terms of grand clothes in favor of chic. And a very good exchange it has been, too. For chic is so much more youth inspiring, so much more elusive and lovely than any other characteristic of the mode. Crochet or Knit Berets Prove Their Acceptance Crochet or knit berets have proven their acceptance. Plain or printed silk crepes have been first for spectator sports wear. Often prints are trimmed with solid color. White was worn by at least half of the women at the opening of the Embassy club in Palm Beach recently. Satin, lace and chiffon, most with touches of color either on the gown or in the accessories, and usually a vivid red, were favored. Bright color in contrast was applied to several printed chiffons. Brighten Old Frock Linen with silk is a smart combination for spring. You can dress up your old frocks by putting gay, colorful linen collars and cuffs on them. Bori and Gigli in Stellar Roles of "Manon" at Cleveland's Metropolitan Grand Opera C LUCREZIA BORI AND BENIAMINO GIGLI IN "MANON" Those two great lovers in grand opera, Lucrezia Bori and Beniamino Gigli, will be heard in a most popular opera, "Manon," on Friday night, April 22, during the ninth bill on Saturday, April unique presentation in which great sopranos of the Met will be heard in the two the day. A LILY PONS The diminutive French coloratura soprano, 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 "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. spring festival of grand opera in Cleveland's public hall. For nine years Bori and Gigli have sung the great operas in the Cleveland seasons and their nights have been outstanding in the seasons. It is expected that "Manon," which was a popular choice for the repertoire, will prove another sell-out. With them in this tuneful opera, will be celebrated the American baritone and screen star, and the famed French basso, Leon Rothler, supported by a large cast of stars of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York. 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 staged on a witch ballet East Indian Impalper, and the ballet numbers rival anything in a Broadway musical show. The "All-Ohio" bill on Saturday, April 23, is a unique presentation in which four great sopranos of the Metropolitan band heard in the two operas of the day. RITA Dc LEFORTE Season seats, at reduced prices, as well as seats for single performances at the usual low rates of Cleveland grand opera are available now at Lyon & Healy's, 1226 Huron Road, Cleveland.
