THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 \nd Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1932. BISHOP RANSOM SAYS OUR YOUTH CANNOT BE INSPIRED BY SO-CALLED AMERICAN "CHRISTIANITY". The Episcopal Address—Union With Zion A. M. E. Church Urged—Call to Both Political Parties—It Looks Like Three New Bishops. The foremost issue of the 29th quadrennial convention (General Conference) of the A. M. E. Church may prove to be redistricting of the church and limiting the number of bishops to fourteen, the present number. This proposal was recommended by the bishops and announced, last week Wednesday, when Bishop W. Samson Brooks of Texas read the episcopal address to the convention. The recommendation was so severe that others were urging that the work of the historiographer be assumed by the bishops; that the work of combining or discontinuing the several "connectional schools" be passed to the people for their determination; that two missionary societies be united; that the church be divided into six areas and one theological seminary be placed in the west. Reading of the episcopal address, which is written by the bishops, sets forth the philanthropy leading the convention and the status of the church, occupied the day's business sessions until 5:30 p. m. In one part of the address, dealing with the economic depression, the bishops said: "In this terrible condition some jobs we used to have exclusively have been lost. Added to this is the often hostile attitude of the Federation of Labor and the local unions, which closes many skilled trades, electrical work, plumbing, building, transportation and carpentry." Lynching: "The further care of this social disease must be sought in education and economic improvement, in the continuance of the effort of many southern agencies which have united in condemning the practice, and in the enactment of state anti-lynching statutes, to punish mobs and indemnify the families of mob victims. Race is the subject of much discussion until church "lifts this controversy from the miasma of prejudice into the clearer atmosphere where it can be seen that among us are neither blacks nor whites, rich nor poor, laborer nor aristocrat, but all one in Jesus Christ," said the bishops. "It is strange, and will be still more troubled than it was 65 years ago. We find ourselves struggling with terrifying collusions of social and political forces under the Stars and Stripes," they said. The bishops urged that a union be made with Zion A. M. E. Church, saying "the heedless and heartless method of overlapping and duplicating our church work by two similar Methodist bodies which have the same practices and purposes will own weakness and subject our leaders to merciless criticism." Delegates and visitors to the convention, in the evening, assembled in a mass meeting devoted to the educational program of the Church. College presidents and trustees of various colleges supported by the Church were presented from the platform, Mr. W. James. Young People's church and close marks were made by Bishop W. A. Fountain, chairman of the board of education. Applause, accompanied by cheerling and singing, late last week Thursday, came from the delegates John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the report made a plea for the continuation of the money" system under which the Church operates. Other reports dealt with publishing activities of the Church and mission. In the evening, delegates and visitors attended another mass meeting and heard a choir of St. John's and St. James churches, Luther King, tenor, sang several solos. The conference was in an uproar during the morning session, last week Friday, over charges that Bishop W. D. Johnson of the eighth district (Mississippi) was responsible for $5,600 of missing Church funds in his district. The amount he supposed to pay for the Church collection fund was for the missing sum several months ago. The bishop had promised to return it in monthly installments, but only $1,300 of the total or $6,900 had been paid to date, according to Financial Secretary John R. Hawkins. The missing funds were used in Church work and were not recorded item by item on the books, Bishop Johnson said. Another of Dr. Hawkins's reports told of the loss of $1,000 from the property of the A. M. E. Book Philadelphia, which had been heavily mortgaged. Delegates were di- vided as to whether the loss had been due to the depression or to mismanagement. Some thought the question should be probed by the convention. The evening session was presided over by Bishop W. D. Johnson and there were addresses by Dr. Chas. H. Wesley of Howard University, Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of The Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Rev. G. W. Rearson (white) of the M. E. Church, South. Last Saturday's session of the conference was devoted to the adoption of resolutions sent the body by our Nat'l. Non-Portisan League thru Congressman Oscar DePriest, its president. These resolutions were to be forwarded to the headquarters of the national committees for adoption in the next national Republican and Democratic conventions. They call on both parties to pledge the maintahence of the American School for the fair treatment of our applicants for governmental civil service positions. Recommendations for reduction of salaries for bishops, redistricting of the conference into sixteen districts permitting the election of two more bishops, a series of charges and counter charges over finances in the secretaryship of the Sunday School department and the "unchanging of a handbill campaign to oust Secretary Ira M. Bryant of Nashville, Tenn., from the secretary's job, cropped up in sectional meetings. Secretary Bryant retorted that too many bishops were concerned with "money getting" instead of "soul saving." Dr. A. S. Jackson of Waco, Teach. for American education and college and colleges to reduce expense, Rev. Jesse M. Bader (white) of New York City, secretary of the commission on evangelism in the Federated Council of Churches of Christ, and Robert W. Bagnall of the same city, an assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., spoke of its work. Sunday morning, in his sermon to the conference Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of South Carolina said: "An atmosphere of bewilderment and frustration hangs over Afro-Americans. Their greatest need is not wealth, legislation, schools and churches. I am here to declare redemption, salvation and deliverance are to come as of our own time. We must own our own Gethemane and bear our own cross. We must cast off the yoke and break the chains which for centuries have made us mere copies of the grey man in social, political, economic and religious affairs. How, with our present attitude in matters of education, can we produce masters of the spirit to blaze for us the path of social and intellectual freedom? Intelligent and self-respecting Afro-Americans cannot accept the precepts of our American democracy or the position of the nation or its flag if they must be subject to social degradation, industrial oppression, legal injustice and be politically outlawed and oppressed. Who but our prophets and redeemers shall teach them that not through the doors of Socialism or Communism lie their escape? Our educated, intelligent and aspiring youth cannot be led to follow Christ as He is openly portrayed in the spirit and practice of the grey religions. Who should follow a Christ that stands for American Christianity? Or what black people cares to strive for a heaven if he must associate with SUCH people forevermore?" Special services in honor of visiting delegates to the convention were held in the morning in the several local A. M. E. churches. A memorial service was held in the afternoon in Woodland Center, which was followed by a C. E. mass meeting. Rev. S. S. Morris, general secretary of the Church of the League, made an address to the late evening service was addressed by Rev. Edward E. Trier of Nashville Tenn Monday morning, by a vote of 480 to 138 the convention adopted a recommendation of the episcopal committee whereby Bishop William T. Vernon of Arkansas was suspended for four years because he was unable to account for $17,360 in church funds. It was the first time such action had been taken in the history of the Church. The committee's report threw the convention into an uproar. It was 45 minutes before order could be given an hour and a half before a vote was taken in the recommendation. With tears in his eyes Bishop Vernon pleaded for mercy at the hands of the delegates, saying, "I hold my hand to high heaven that I am no guilty of this," and offering to make restitution if he were not suspended. Rev. M. A. Fountain of Macon, Ga., secretary of the Episcopal committee, read the report. The $17,360 was money received from the Bishops' conferences and districts over and above his salary and allowances. He was appointed to the committee who presided, declared the trial illegal because Bishop Vernon had not been given a right to object to the membership of the committee which tried him. Rev. C. E. Brooks of Kansas, who acted as prosecuting attorney for the Church at the trial, appealed from the decision of the chair saying that the bishop on the witness stand had made admissions of guilt. His appeal was upheld by vote of 389 to 130 and the delegate roar. When given an opportunity of addressing the convention, Bishop Vernon made a pitiful appeal saying: "I know this is the end of it; I know this means the end of me. I didn't understand this situation. I tried to straighten things out. If you throw me out I'll have no place to go. I am 60 years old, and my life is nearly that. Let the house be merciful and I will make restitution." The Pageant at Public Hall The pageant, "Bound for the Promised Land," presented at Public Hall. Monday evening, drew a large attendance and consisted chiefly of spirituals. After the white-robed chorus, divided into tribes, marched singing before the gates of heaven, the pageant showed the troubles of pilgrims to get into the land and flights to escape the devil. The devil brought the pilgrims including a rich man and his family, a glutton and a gambler. The pageant ended with the last pilgrim being carried to heaven in a white chariot, with audience and chorus singing "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot." The production was staged by a large chorus of members of our local church-choirs, mainly A. M. E., of course, and repaired by months of rehearsals. Carroll Scott, months of rehearsals. A. M. E. choir, was assisted by Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, and Mrs. Kathleen H. Forbes, organist. Tuesday, charges of being short in their accounts, against Bishop W. D. Johnson of the eighth district and Bishop Joshua H. Jones of the first district, were being aired by the Episcopal committee in secret session. The latter (Jones) was being audacious for a shortage represented as his case. His case was expected to be first reported upon by the governing body, Bishop Johnson was first accused, last week, by Financial Secretary John R. Hawkins with being more than $5,000 short. He (the bishop) reported at that time that the shortage was a result of money spent in the relief of our people during the flood or river flood because of the failure to aid the Red Cross. It was decided to reduce the number of bishopric districts from 18 to 15. This means the election of two bishops. Four died during the last four years, and Bishop Vernon of Arkansas was suspended, Monday. During the morning session, the delegates voted down a motion to reconsider his suspension. The fund guilty on two of four counts of bishopric corruption occurred for $10,500 in church funds. The suspension is for four years, but Dr. Vernon will retain full rights and privileges of a minister of the church. No legal action will be taken to prosecute him nor will a civil suit be filed to collect the money, delegates say. Tuesday evenings the Episcopal committee continued the trial of the cases of Bishop Jones and Johnson, the 35 legislative bills presented that day was one calling for a reduction of the bishops' salaries from $4800 to $2500. Wednesday, Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Xenia, O. was reported short in his accounts by the episcopal committee to the extent of $15,000 and the conference voted 420 to 130 to suspend him for four years. While deprived of his episcopal duties and prerogatives, the bishop can preach during that period. He presided over New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, the first district. The episcopal committee did not announce its conclusion in the case Bishop W. Decker Johnson who was faced with a shortage of about $5600, according to Secretary Hawkins' report. The suspension of Bishop Jones made possible the election of three and possibly four new bishops. There are about 20 candidates. At the evening session, the conference voted to have six educational areas instead of 20 and to merge many schools now operated. The merging will be left to the school-trustees. The session voted to continue the effort to federate our churches, begun in 1870. Revising the disciplinary regulations, the convention decided that wayward general teachers should be tried at quarterly competences by committees appointed by the genious bishop instead of by the conference board. The religious addresses, Wednesday evening, were made in St. John's, the leading local A. M. E. church. The General Conference will adjourn, next week.

The civil rights mass meeting at St. Paul's Zion A. M. E. church, Sunday evening, under the auspices of the Harlan club, was addressed by Dr. Robert H. Jas, B. Hall and others. Selmo C. Glenn presided. This meeting reminds The Rounder of a presentation of the play, "Hamlet," with the principal character absent. Think it over and see if he is not right. The Rounder started into the A. M. E. General Conference meeting, last week Friday morning, but backed out almost immediately, forced by a chorus of cowboy yell of "Sit down! Sit down! SIT DOWN!" (directed at an aged minister on the rostrum who was attempting to address the conference), some arose from a number of delegates, some ministers of the gospel. Several of men were in the audience the result of their strenuous vocal efforts which we feel sure would have been deprecated in a noisy Democratic county convention. We had never seen or heard of anything like it, coming from a religious gathering. The din was something awful, terrific! As the editor would say, "Lord, have mercy!" Charles S. Smith, who has been secretary to five police chiefs and three safety directors during 35 years of public service, "resigned." Monday, and will retire on a pension, May 15, staying on only long enough to break in his successor. He now holds the title of secretary of the Safety Department and secretary of the Police Pension Board. Smith was appointed to the department. Jan. 18, 1897, by Mayor Robert E. McKission, for the editor of The Gazette and was immediately appointed to Police Chief George E. Corner. He worked for four succeeding chiefs before he went to the City Hall, serving eight years under Safety Director Edwin D. Barry. Charlie's health is excellent for a man of his years. As a matter of fact, Democratic Safety Director Frank J. Merrick and Mayor Ray T. Miller want his job for a Democrat. That is all there is to Charlie's "resignation." Mayor McKission appointed both him and John Chaffin, who died some months ago, on the same day. Jan. 18 or 28, 1897, on the request of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Gazette. This is the last one of the good jobs our city administration, every one of which were given to them by Republicans. Charlie's money is in the neighborhood of $3,600. Dan Fairfax's was about $3,300. Supt. Seth Nickens' was $3,300. Deputy Building Inspector Wm. Smith's, $2,600. Deputy City Treasurer L. L. Fancy, of the City of New York, smaller pay, have been "fired" by the democratic city administration, in recent months, to make places for white or rather grey Democrats. The one (a former Central Ave, saloon-keeper) given Nickens' place was also given a $300 increase in salary. This is what our people have gotten as the result of the so-called "Negro" Democrats' support of the local Democratic mayoralty candidate at the last election. What have they received? Rebuffs and absolutely nothing in the way of desirable positions; only a few small jobs and rebuffs, until they have a small job; only a few small jobs, it is openly claimed, were compelled to pay $5 down and $5 monthly on pay-day to "the Democratic ward organization." And there are those who are mean enough to insinuate that the $5 down and $5 monthly never reach their alleged destination. Lord! have mercy. What really became of the $1600 of the general funds of Glenara Temple, Elks, that seem to have disappeared?

SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1932. If our memory serves us correctly, it was reported at the time that Bishop W. T. Vernon, just before the expiration of his term as United States Register of the Treasury, asked to be retained longer in office that he might save something for future use. This, if true, may help to explain his tremendous shortage mentioned elsewhere in this paper, and his most distressing financial condition. Congressman Oscar De Priest could do more effective work and get a much fairer deal for our civil service applicants if he would only do his duty as a Congressman by demanding fair-dealing and justice on the floor of the Congress instead of dumping that neglected duty on the A. M. E. General Conference in session in this city. Why doesn't he get over his "fright" and be a real congressman? --- When Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur "bears Hoover's message" to the N. A. A. C. P.'s annual conference in Washington, D.C., next Wednesday, some one should ask him in open meeting if it is true, as the daily newspapers of the country charged, early last week, that he transmitted to Gova Judd of Hawaii Hoover's insistence that the ten-year sentences of the four lynch-murders of that Hawaiian be commuted to "one hour's confinement in jail." Lieut. Massie and other Naval authorities at Honolulu refused to let officers of the law serve papers on Mrs. Massie to appear as a witness in the trial of the four remaining accused of assault on her. The lynch-murderers and U. S. Navy officers have shown their disregard of law by doing as they pleased in that notorious Honolulu, Hawaiian case. Their actions make much more plausible the rumor that no attack was ever made by any of the five accused, and that the lynch-murder, so popular in our South, was used to cover up a severe beating given the murdered Hawaiian. We wish to assure all of our contemporaries that the delegates and visitors to the A. M. E. General Conference, now in session in this city, do NOT "jam" Cleveland. As a matter of fact one would not know the conference was in session here if they did not visit the immediate vicinity of the Woodland Center, in the southeast section of the city, where the conference is being held. The number of delegates and visitors is unnecessarily greatly exaggerated in most of our contemporaries. Cleveland is a city of more than a million inhabitants, nearly 75,000 of whom are Afro-Americans. Leo Weidenthal, editor and publisher of the Jewish Independent, has been appointed a member of the City Plan Commission by Mayor Ray T. Miller, probably "as a reward to the large number of Jewish voters who defeated Daniel E. Morgan at the last election," said a local daily paper, last week. It will be recalled that Herbert Chaucey (deceased) was appointed a member of this commission by City Manager Morgan. Another of the city positions taken from us by Mayor Miller and his Democratic city administration. These are "suah" sad days for the so-called local "Negro Democrats"—and Republicans, too. Protest against racial discrimination against Wilhelmina Styles, local student at O. S. U., was registered in a telegram to President George W. Rightmire of that state institution, Sunday night, by the local N. A. A. C. P. branch. The organization had been informed that Miss Styles had been refused admission to the cottage practice-work by a teacher in the department of home economics, solely on account of her race or color. An alternative pro posal to have Miss Styles take her practice work in the Juvenile Court or library was protested by the branch because it was an insult and also did not enable her to meet the graduation requirements of her course as prescribed in the catalog of the institution. Good! --- As we go to press, the announced vote at the primary, Tuesday, of our four local candidates for State Representative was as follows: Chester Gillespie, 14,331; Arthur Johnston, 10,313; Mose H. Dixon, 8,339; N. L. McGhee, 6,087. Gillespie is our only nominee on the local Republican ticket, this fall, with the outlook for Republican success, locally and generally, anything but good. So there is much to be done, if our people of this county are to be directly represented in the next General Assembly of Ohio which convenes in Columbus, early in January next. Dr. Edw. A. Bailey, our candidate for coroner, polled 11,461 votes to Coroner Pearse's 33,923. And we have about 40,000 voters in this (Cuyahoga) County! "STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN"! When that delegation, representing our National Bar Association and the N. A. A. C. P., went to Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, last week, to protest against the barring of Afro-Americans from employment on the Hoover Dam at Boulder, Colo., they should have included a protest to the distinguished gentleman against his interference in that notorious Honolulu, Hawaiian case which resulted in those four southern lynch-murders being "held one hour in jail" in lieu of serving their ten years' imprisonment on a proven charge of manslaughter. The outcome of the Massle case is a stench in the nostrils of all decent people. It flouts law, justice and decency in a superlative degree. Words are inadequate to properly characterize both the outcome of the case and those directly and indirectly responsible for it. Lord! have mercy. MOST ENCOURAGING! As will be seen elsewhere in this paper, God visited Atlantic City, New Jersey, last Saturday, during a session of the M. E. Church general conference there. HE was there in company with Dr. Ernest F. Tittle of Evanston, Ill., and, of course, was well pleased with the latter's resolution which was enthusiastically adopted by the conference declaring for strict racial equality in any city which entertained the conference in the future. Most encouraging action indeed and something far in advance of anything of the kind we have had from the other class of people in a long, long time. This establishes valuable precedence for all mixed organizations, especially religious, for the future, and will undoubtedly prove very helpful in the general effort to beat down line-lines, segregation, etc. God will undoubtedly take more interest in the M. E. Church, North, from now on and enable it to make far more progress in all of its future efforts. THE BISHOPS" "SHORTAGES." The loud, boisterous conduct of many of the delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference in session in this city, and the disclosures, this week, of the large financial shortages of several of the bishops of the Church are most unfortunate indeed and hurt not only that great religious organization but also our people of the entire country. What a pity! The shortages help one to better understand the cause of the failure, a few years ago, of the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, the unfortunate financial condition of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co. of Washington, D. C., and the Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago, three of our largest business enterprises of the kind in this country. DOINGS OF THE RACE. D. F. Paris, a Haitian aviator, flew from New York to his native country (at Port-au-Prince), last week. According to U. S. census figures for 1830, nearly two-thirds of our voters are distranslated. All of them live in a few southern states and the District of Columbia. One hour after they had been sentenced to ten years in jail for the brutal murder of a native, four white southern lynchers in Hawaii went scot-free by special act of Gov. Judd, an American. A riot raged in East Philadelphia early, May 1, the result of the futile effort of a mob of white brutes to drive an Afro-American family from a house in Appletree St. Police arrested nine white youths and dispersed the mob. Miss Eva Bowles of Columbus, O., for eighteen years in charge of our work of the national board of the Y. W. C. A., has resigned to devote her time to our National C. M. A. Chain Stores, Inc., of which she is secretary. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Victory Life Insurance Co. in Chicago, Dr. A. S. Miller was elected secretary, R. H. McGavock, treasurer; and Mrs. Esther T. Mann and V. D. Johnston, assistant secretaries. A monster demonstration of workers of Hamburg, Germany, greeted the arrival there, May 5, of Mrs. Ada Wright, of Chattanooga, Tenn. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable to all citizens and individuals of race or nationality, enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved therein, revoked or 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. Greensboro, N. C.—Dr. Peter M. Murray of N. Y. City, president of the National Medical Association, recently visited Bennett College for Women here for the purpose of making the final address to the Prime Sport News In the Olympic Games In the Olympic Games: At least four of our boys will represent America in the Olympic games at Los Angeles, this summer; a recent game in the annual Ralph Crawley carnival at the University in Philadelphia, recently.

The "Kid" has been relieved of his marital difficulties and is all set for another successful campaign in this country. His manager was the manager of Canzoneri's manager relative to a return engagement. The decision in their last fight was loudly booed by the fans, who felt that "Chocolate" had easily won the fight. His manager says that the "Kid" will accept the challenger's 12½ per cent of the gate. The "Kid" also wants a shot at Billy Petrolle, Kid Berg, Sammy Fuller and Bat Battallino, if any of the three beaten to 135 pounds.

General Conference Votes Not to Meet in Any City Where the Votes Are Not Present Atlantic City, N. J. —Despite warnings that it was sacrificing "forever" the long-sought reunion with the Methodist Church, South, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church enthusiastically declared for strict racial equality last Saturday. The resolution, adopted with a demonstration that the rule of the newly appointed oppressed, directed that the quadrennial conference was never to meet in a city where the color-line was drawn against delegates in hotels, restaurants and public places. Dr. Ernest F. Tittle of Evanston, III., a noted Methodist liberal, brought the resolution to the floor of the conference with a strong appeal that Methodism take its place with the Federal Council of Churches and the Congregation Christian Church in a racial discrimination in conference cities. "I believe there are cities which would be glad to entertain us under these conditions," he said. "If there are not, it would be much better for us not to meet at all; and if we do not meet for this reason, we will be the cause of racial equality more good than we could by meeting." A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT Charles S. Smith, secretary to five Cleveland police chiefs and three safety directors, is retiring to enjoy a well-carned pension, May 15. He has been 35 years in the city's service. We regret that Smith's retirement is occasioned by ill health and hope that rest from his duties will quickly restore him. Smith has enjoyed the respect and friendship of a large part of the public for many years, and he will carry the esteem of the public with him into retirement. It is the old and faithful employees like him that really keep a city government working thru all the vicissitudes of politics. — The Cleveland Press, Editorial, May 10, 1932. A.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It Singapore— Wonder City A Singapore "Steam Roller." (Prepared by National Geographic Society. THE uncompleted British naval base at Singapore again may swarm with workmen. The base has been a political football in British official circles for more than a decade. Construction began in 1921 but before much progress was made, the project was interrupted by political quarrels until 1928. In that year the base site was the scene of much activity but work again was halted when the Labor party, which opposed the project, came into power. To the military strategist, Singapore is one of Britain's main links in its chain of defenses that stretch from Gibraltar through Malta, Suez, Aden and Ceylon, but to students of geography and readers of fiction, it is the "Crossroads of the East," and a city where "East meets West." In all the swift, significant changes wrought by white men in the East, no one event stands out more conspicuously than the rapid rise of Singapore. From a jungle isle, where tigers ate men at night, to a magnificent city, tenth among the ports of the world, in less than a century! Its place on the map, its strategic position here at the crossroads of the East, forced it to a growth at once unique and astonishing. Last year nearly 10,000 ships cut the cobalt-baltic seas of the Malacca strait, tying up the trade of Singapore with Europe, Africa, and India, with Australia, China, Japan, and the Americas. And how Singapore came to be a city is one of the latter-day romances of the Orient. Away back in history, before even the days of Marco Polo, the Malays had founded their powerful states and set up an empire on their peninsula. Then came the Portuguese and laid waste to the strongholds of the sultans, leaving colonists whose descendants, bearing long, aristocratic names oddly out of place among Malay cognomens, are still found throughout the Indies. After the Portuguese came the Dutch sweeping from Malacca to Manila, only to be followed later by the British, who, with their genius for colonization, are here to this day. It was this British adventure, about a hundred years ago, that lured Stamford Raffles, born at sea, into this restless region of the then unknown East. And Fate willed that he should found this great Singapore. Singapore was not conquered like Hindustan, nor acquired as a ready-made colony, like Hongkong: it was simply bought as New York was, and settled, when Sir Stamford Raffles selected it as an outpost for British traders on the China route and purchased it for the East India company from the Sultan of Johore. It was a jungle-covered island then, peopleby a few score savage Malay fisherfolk. Now it is a wonder city, with marble bank buildings of singular beauty and great stone law courts and government edifices and Christian churches—all in striking contrast to the ornamental Malay mosques, the carved temples of the Hindus, and the fantastic joss houses of the Chinese. A Jungle Reclaimed. Through the thick jungle, where once led only the elephant paths, wide level roads have now been built, and the hoarse squawk of the motor horn has drowned the fierce growls of the lurking tiger. Forty-five years ago a few Para rubber plants smuggled out of Brazil fruited here. Today, three-fourths of the world's rubber comes from this region. And in this magic development Americans have played a leading role. This Malay peninsula, stretching hundreds of miles from the Siamese frontier down toward the equator, forms a vast humid region of dense forests of jungle, wild elephants, snakes, and naked people, rice fields, rubber plantations, and tin mines. Few American tourists see it. Singapore, built on a tiny green isle of the same name, which lies just off the end of the peninsula and nearly on the Equator, is the capital of the British crown colony commonly called the Stritts Settlements. This colony embraces the Province Wellesley, the Dindings and Malacca on the mainland, and the islands of Penang and Singapore. More than fifty steamship lines and its cable net and radio stations tie Singapore up with adjacent regions, and British Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and Siam constitute a unit in commercial geography which centers at the great port. "The Melting Pot of Asia," they call this prolic, potent peninsula, because of the babel of races, colors, and castes which its wealth of rubber and tin has drawn to it. But in all this industrial army of Europeans, Chinese, Japanese, Tamils, Hindus, and assorted South Sea Islanders, the Chinese are the most numerous and powerful. The Malay himself is too lazy even to be a good fisherman. He grows a little rice, a few coconuts, and nets the fish he needs, but Nature is so kind that it is said one hour's effort a day will support him and his family. It is the Chinaman who is the tin miner, the farmer, shopkeeper, artisan, contractor, and financier. Nature's motion picture, as your ship swings into the narrow, 60-mile-long Singapore roads, is like a vision of some fabled Dream Isles of Delight. Fairy isles they seem, floating on a turquoise sea, wooded, jungle-grown in brightest green, miraculously broken off and cast adrift from Sumatra and Malaya. Cruising through these straits, your ship creeps so close to certain isles that you can actually see the natives going about their daily life, and you can clearly make out the intimate details of the tiny palm-leaf shacks, which stand on stilllike piles out over the water. When Not so Charming. But on certain hot, steamy days in early autumn, when no air stirs and the tide has run very low, these islands, on closer inspection, are not all so charming. Then the seeding waters leave vast, flat banks of slimy stinking mud, alive with crawling creatures pursued by long-legged birds; and the myriad mangrove trees that hug the shore are left standing with their naked crooked roots all exposed—an oddly repellent picture, suggesting the wet, slippery coils of a million monster serpents, their bodies all twisted together, seeming to crawl in and out of the foul steaming ooze. You are glad, then, when your ship has poked her restless nose past these reeking mud flats and you come to the anchorage, tying up amid as strange a fleet as ever the sun shone on. Swarming about your ship in their bobbing canoes, Little Malay boys come to dive for nickels, for do not all American sharks observe the odd custom of throwing money into the sea as they approach a tropic port? The white man's life today in Singapore, as in other tropic parts, is easy and comfortable. The British and American trading firms are all staffed, in the higher positions, by men from the home lands. Office hours are fairly down, in this equatorial clime, for the white man must have more recreation than in the colder countries of the north. Here, near the Equator, dassy and nights are about equal; toward dark the din of barter and sale subsidies and the streets begin to empty. The houseboat folk of the river and the wharf workers quiet down. Chinese shopkeepers shuffle out to put up their shutters. High above, the star pictures of heaven are hung out—the sprawling Scorpion and the majestic Southern Cross. Long before ten o'clock a magic, mongrel city of tin, trade, and turbulence is sound asleep. No speeding joy rider, owl car, or roof garden jazz breaks the delicieux stump of its repose. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1932. By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1 INTERNATIONAL 'TIS many a yarn which Dame Fashion is spinning these days in answer to the call of the mode for smart knitted apparel. It is not only that knitted togs in their modern versions are so good to look upon, but the fact of their being so thoroughly practical gives them a place in the heart of the sports world which none other can occupy. As knitted fashions stand today they acknowledge no superior when it comes to ultra-chic and beguiling charm. This, together with the fact that a knitted costume stands any amount of wear and tear without losing that well-groomed appearance which every prideful woman covers, accounts for the increasing enthusiasm expressed for outfits which are fluffed or fashioned of knitted fabrics. Straight from la belle Paris come the two knitted costumes pictured. The suit to the left is of loose-knit jersey in green and white, with the scarf and corsage in the same colors. Its bellhop jacket, which stops at the waistline, together with the flat stitched plims in the skirt testify that when it comes to style details there is no point missed by designers of knitted modes. The costume shown to the right is a Paquin model as is also the suit just described. This sports ensemble chooses to combine red wool with Scottish check. The bolero which miliady carries on her arm ready for wear in the outdoors is of the same. It is characteristic of French costumes as styled for spring and the coming summer that they accent color at the top. a treatment which has been most strikingly accomplished in the present instance. For novelty, versatility and gaiety it is the sweater which carries the day COWL NECKLINE By CHEMIE NICHOLAS The craze for the hand crocheted blouse has spread to include street, sports and, informal afterpartn costumes. As it is getting a bit late for wool, a number of the Paris houses are making these blouses in mercerized crochet for wear under the newer suits. Schiaparelli and other Paris designers are sponsoring them in sleeveless and cape versions, some little more than a gilet, perfectly plain except, perhaps, a tiny bow at the neckline, or with the round neckline built somewhat high and unornamented, or with a cowl neckline, as illustrated. This cowl neckline appears to be the latest, and a very soft, charming effect it gives when worn under the open jacket. These hand-crocheted sweaters or blouses are so easy to do, women everywhere are making them. They are lovely in pastel tones or in white. Your Copy or an Acqu OJ TARNAT FINA with highest honors. The sweater, crocheted or knitted in loose open mesh, is a topnotch fashion. Some of them are that open they look to be little more than of fishnetting. It's quiet the swagger thing to wear one of these openwork sweaters over one's sleeveless sports dress. Match it to the color of your frock or have it in striking contrast, as you will. The new skirts with built-up waistlines have brought tuck-in sweaters to the fore. Necklines, too, come in for a great deal of attention in sweater design, frills, flippin effects, jabobs and all sorts of dressmaker details adding a pliant touch to the mode. Very elaborate ensembles are being displayed, those in all white being notably lovely. Per example, a sports outfit recently shown consisted of a skirt knitted in simple stitch with a row of open stitch marking the separation between the gored sections which achieved a sang fit about the hips with a slight flare below the knees. The sweater blouse accented an extremely open lace stitch. The sleeved bolero matched the skirt, a beret, a belt, a scarf and an envelope pocketbook knitted and crocheted in fanciful stitch and design added notes of interest. All In pure white, this many in-one costume made a striking appearance. For berets and scarfs designers are using rayon chenille with excellent results as the chenille crocheted softly and prettily, being particularly effective in pastel colorings. Women who wield the crochet needle readily are adding a touch of distinction to their bought sweaters by crocheting a shell stitch chenille edge about neckline and sleeves as well as finishing various hemlines, adding perhaps a few crocheted buttons in decorative manner. ( © 1932 Western Newspaper Union ) SAILOR HAT IS IN SPRING SPOTLIGHT A visit to the hat shops would indicate that Dame Fashion has decreed almost any kind of bonnet as long as some conditions are followed. Right out in the spotlight is the sailor with its brim and hat band of ribbon or leather, sometimes of contrasting color. The colors are quite gay, the crowns are, on the whole, shallow, and the brims marrow. While the straws fairly blossom on the sheaves there are popular arrays of knitted hats, some with straw brims, and some knitted of wool and straw. There is a nutty little hat popular for sports that sits like a pancake on top of the head and comes in bright sports colors. The hats sport any variety of small and striking ornaments of a contrasting color. Irish Lace Lends Nice Touch to Spring Prock Crocheted Irish lace is lending a chaste touch to many a spring frocks of prt' crepe, plain black or beige crepe or a plain navy blue woolen. It is used in collars, vests, cuffs and on the ends of ties. It is even used to trim some of the smartest and most expensive of the new spring hats. Perhaps if a housewife is frugal she will begin rummaging around in old trunks in the attic, is she has an attic, and some of the old Irish lace she finds there may be the means of making lovely an otherwise ordinary dress this spring. If you wish to be very smart you will go in for things nautical, such, for instance, as clips in the form of anchors and stars in silver or gold finished metal, or in red, white and blue enamels. of The G aintance w Anchor Clips Tra-La, Tra-La, We Go M. MARING NEW YORK - Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la, a hawning we will go! Only in this smart riding habit one can just as well canter along shady bridle paths with no purpose at all save pleasure. The makers of these habits be- lieve. Arracan women favor sleeveless jackets for summer but they've catered to both the tastes for jodpurs and breeches; and have selected a wash-tub worthy durene weave which makes hubs of habits at every angle. There's a slight rib in this durene material which makes it fashionable; then amidst all the excitement this season over new fabrics, and this one which has stood head and shoulders shows its contemporaries in the cotton fabric. As if all these matters weren't enough, the colors available are not just soddy browns or this or that commonplace shade, but really beautiful colors, and two whites - yes, two one, vivid as a white house. This new shade known amusingly as "dirty white", which is really a delicate duster and not so apt to show soil as pure white. Matter Worry Less MARY MARING NEW YORK—The gay days and the clothing-wearing days are but a few weeks ahead for the youngsters of the nation. Lives there a mother but wonders just how many socks and frocks and little suits will actually see the summer through. Writing a particularly good "hard-play" children's fabric—a very attractive but durable durene mesh of porous and strong construction, available in an almost endless number of youthful colors. Little frocks and little pants and jumpers, sweaters, blouses, and summer coats may all be found in this and other quality cotton meshes. The durene ones wear longer and wash more times because they're specially processed cotton made of the longest and strongest cotton fibers. Their cost is negligible for they are scarcely quality is not identifiable. That soft luster does not wash out and the colors are delightful. Apropos of nothing at all save child sagacity, we're tempted to add a paragraph quoting from a mother we know: "Eat your spinach, Nancy," said she. "I know dozens of little girls who would love to have that spinach" "Name three," said Nancy, looking up with innocent blue eyes. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when he should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least the new who dare, must speak and speak to right the wrongs of many.

Ryan, president of Ruthraff & Ryan, Inc., one of the country's largest national advertising agencies. "We have taken a leaf from the editor's book by simulating editorial features which are surefire in building circulation," said Mr. Ryan. "Certain advertisement techniques are more difficult to an astonishing degree." "Advertising today is undergoing a severe test." Mr. Ryan believes, "Beautiful art, impeachable language and profound psychological devices are mysteriously failing to be noticed because in the boom periods when any kind of advertising seemed good, advertisers were not critical. Weaknesses in advertising that were not so apparent in prosperity days are becoming Advertising that displayed soap, insecticides, refrigerators, brooms, smoked hams, and washstubs in rich backgrounds suitable for matched pearls. Mr. Ryan believes, is being viewed with suspicion by consumer and manufacturer alike. He is a merchant who stood in front of his store and buttonholeed passbysshe had a glimmering of the function of advertising. He was often rebuffed, but at least he stopped some customers. Advertising must 'stop' the reader, but this is becoming an increasingly important tempo keeps the customer always on the run and there is much competition for his attention." Movies, radio sports and automobiles are the new-day contenders for the time of the average man and woman. Mr. Ryan explained.
