HEAR!! A WHAT'S DOING! To Bishop W. Decker Johnson's farewell address to the General Conference and our people of Cleveland at Woodland Center, Monday, response should have been made by Rev. J. O. Haitheux, pastor of St Johns', the largest and oldest A. M. E. church, and also our leading church, in this city. It is difficult to understand just why St. Johns was so completely ignored through the General Conference period. A author of the book *Odyssey* Woodland Center welcomed the conference in the name of St. James A. M. E. church as if it were the only A. M. E. congregation in the city when there are several at least. An explanation from some reliable source ought to be forthcoming and soon. In spite of the fact that three local Afro-American drug stores were promised all the prescriptions (for whisky) during the General Conference meet, a number of them were given to another drug store (Jewish) in the East End. This, too, has caused considerable soreness, charges and counter-charges, and the end is not set, so the *Founder* learns not to let all the *Founder*s to it the fact that members of St Johns' church, who listed among those who agreed to house delegates during the conference, were greatly discriminated against in favor of members of St James' church on the list, and one has aptly GRAND OPERA! At the Stadium, Next Month, to In include the New "Negro" Opera, "Tom-Tom"—Stars From Already.

Stars for the operas will be brought from the operatic Opera House in the Chicago Philadelphia companies and from London and Italy. The operas to be given include a new "Negro" opera, "TomTom," which will be presented here for the first time. It will be directed by Miss Shirley Graham, the composer, a post-graduate student of Oberlin College. The program is: June 29, "Carmen"; June 30, "TomTom"; July 1, "Valkyrie"; July 2, "Aida"; July 3, "Tom-Tom"; July 4, a matinee Washington Bicentennial Celebration and an evening percussion fireworks; July 5, "Valkyrie"; July 6, "Aida." Following its premieres, June 30 and July 3, in Cleveland, "Tom-Tom" is to be presented in October at Madison Square Garden, New York. Elephants will be used in the pageant and other operas. Doing "Big Things"? New York City — Monarch lodge, Elks, this city, misled by southern "Negroes" overweening desire to "do big things" before they have learned to do little things well, started in to purchase, when times were good, two modern six-story buildings, cost $580,000, subject to a mortgage of $388,200. There was also due $72,805.38, and taxes, etc., amounting to $16,000 more. The buildings were sold at auction recently, to satisfy the mortgage, and hundreds of our local Elks, who held second mortgage bonds, have suffered great financial loss.

BOYDSTON POST BRIEFS Boydston Post is already planning for its Memorial day exercises. The Sunday services will be held at E.M. Tzion Baptist church. Spanish War veterans of the 372nd Inf. and Boy Scouts will participate, and the line of march will be from the veterans' armory to the church, via Cedar Ave. The post, as usual, will help Shupie Machine Gun Post decorate Highland Park cemetery.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DELEGATES VOTE ALL NIGHT. ALL OF THE GENERAL OFFICERS OF THE CHURCH RE-ELECTED BY GOOD MAJORITIES. First Ballot for Bishops Took Six Hours and the Second, Four—Fifty-Six Candidates—Three Fist Fights—Laymen Defeat Clergy. Laymen revolted against the hierarchy of bishops and elders of the A.M. E. Church in Woodland Center, last week Thursday, in the most uproarious session the Church has had, since 1916. The 3rd fights marked the day. First, the laymen voted that the ruling body of the Church, the episcopal committee, which included 96 of the clergy, should henceforth consist of one clergyman and one layman from each of the fifteen districts. Secondly, they refused to sustain the existing episcopal committee in the recommended suspension of Bishop W. Decker Johnson of Plains, Ga., presiding in Mississippi, the eighth district, who was charged with having used $8,000 for purposes not specified in the Church books. After an eloquent plea by Bishopenson, who said the money went for evangelism and for his food and drought impoverished people, the session voted, 524 to 66, not to suspend him, and to wipe all imputations off his character record. He promised to repay the missing money in installments. Act to Cut Salaries. Thirdly, the session presented nearly a score of bills designed to shorten the terms and reduce salaries and powers of bishops and elders. It voted a merger of the two women's organizations, the W. M. society and the W. H. & F. M. society, as an economy instruction. The night session saw the episcopal committee report again on the redistricting of the Church in accord with economy instructions it had received earlier in the sessions. To District 2, which includes Baltimore, Virginia and North Carolina, were added Jamaica, the Windward Islands and the Guianas. To District 8 was added Louisiana. District 13 includes West Africa as well as Kentucky and Tennessee. District 15, including Oklahoma and the Puget Sound area, is to be listed as District 14. District 15 is South Africa. Tennessee and Kentucky delegates crowded to the rostrum protesting that "they were lost if joined with West Africa," but the convention listened more closely to delegates from Sierra Leone, West Africa, who pleaded for "a little more Christlike guidance." Bishop's Election. Eleven o'clock, Friday morning, was the time set for the start to elect three new bishops. Fifty-six candidates started in the race. The first ballot took six hours, the second four, and the weary convention was listening to the drone of the tellers at midnight. Friday. Box lunches appeared and the third returns were far from complete. The voting continued into the wee small hours of Saturday morning, a vote having been taken to go on with the balloting until the three new bishops were with more than 30 candidates, a majority was 354, on the first 345. Seven leaders stood out and their poll on the first two bishops. was as follows: Rev. Noah Wiley of St. Louis, 259 and 314; Dr. R. H. Wright of Philadelphia, editor of The Recorder 213 and 242; Dr. H. Y. Tookes of Tampa, Fla., who led the revolt for lay representation on the episcopal committee, 169 and 208. Prof Charles Wesley of Howard University Washington, 135 and 132; D. H. Simlons of Columbia, S. C. 126 and 175; Rev. J. L. Butter of Savannah, Ga. 124 and 155, and Rev. J. H. Joward of Houston, Tex., with 122 and 155. Rev. D. O. Walker of this city never was "in it," receiving but fifteen in the first ballot and twenty-four in the second. Then he announced his withdrawal. Six others, who also weren't "in it," withdrew at the same time. The convention was in a hubbub all day, and continued on into the night. Bishop R. A. gavel of Jacksonville, Fla., waved his gavel for order. His voice gone, megaforms were brought to the platform and a corps of vocal aids bellowed out across the seething, parading menagry, calling vainly for order. The gallery above was packed and overflowing. New Bishops Named. Named. Ending an all-night battle, delegates, early Saturday morning, elected to the bishopric: Rev. Noah H. Williams of St. Louis, Rev. D. H. Sims of South Carolina, president of Allen university, and Rev. H. Tookes of Jacksonville, Fla. Rev. Williams was elected on the third ballot, when his vote mounted to 350, 335 votes being necessary for election. On the next ballot, Rev Sims was chosen.

Bishops' Farewell Address. The high spot of Sunday's religious services at Woodland Center was at 11 a. m., when the three new bishops were consecrated. Another feature was an address by Geo. Wm. Brown of N. Y. City, gen. sec. of the Amer. Bible society, who spoke at 3 p. m. The society has translated the bible into 924 different languages and dialects, and since 1816 has issued 237,000,000, the average distribution for one year being 11,000,000. Bishop Wm. Heard preached in the morning before the consecration. The conference closed, Monday, with an executive session. A formal farewell was extended for visiting dinner by Bishop Dee Day evening's worship by Bishop Dee Day Johnson. "I am quite sure that I will send sentiments of the entire General Conference when I say that we have enjoyed most heartily the pleasure of associating with the good people of Cleveland who opened their homes and their hearts to the A M E. Church's General Conference." Monday was the last day of the 29th Quadrennial A. M. E. Conference. The three new bishops were stationed as follows: Bishop A. D. Sims of Columbia, S. C., to South Africa; Bishop H. Y. Tookes of Tampa, Fl., to Arkansas; and Bishop H. O. to South Carolina of St. Louis, Mo., to South Carolina of Brownsville. Heard was transferred from the third episcopal district to his former station, the first district, presided over for the past four years, by Bishop Joshua H. Jones (suspended) of Willberforce, O. Bishop R. C. Ransom succeeds him as head of the third district. Bishop's salaries were not questioned. They will continue to receive $4,800, the financial secretary, $4,000, and the general officers and editors, $3,600 (the 1928 scale). An episcopal committee of unity, instead of thirty, including two lay clergymen from each of the fifteen episcopal districts, was finally decided upon. Lay representation on this committee is given for the first time, the previous episcopal committee having been made up of ninety-six clergymen. Two Suspended Bishops' Appeal Lost! The conference had voted to adjourn when a last effort was made to rescind the suspensions of Bishops Joshua H. Jones and W. T. Vernon. Leaning on his cane, tears in his eyes, former Bishop Jones, son-in-law of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, first bishop of the Church, told of the 68 years he had given to the Church. The general Conference, he said, would probably find him in the great beyond. He said he felt no ill-will and believed that time would vindicate him. With voice shaking, former Bishop Vernon said he had learned that nobody wanted a deposed bishop. Continuing, he also said: "I'm going out, an old and poor man, and I don't know where." He then asked a blessing on the conference that had deposed him. The conference then voted down a motion to reconsider their cases. AGAIN, GETS YALE AWARD.

Vernon for relief from the suspen- sion which they brot upon themselves. ‘hey didn’t seem to realize how lucky they were to get off as easy as they @id—without criminal prosecution. ‘The conduct of many delegates to the conference, on several different oceasions, was such as to leave an impression, generally, that does not help to raise the status of our people in this community, especially in the judgment of other groups or classes ‘of local residents, we regret to say.

The second game, Red Parnell, star outfielder and utility man, held the Cubs to five scattered hits and won, 5 to 2. ‘The last two games were shut-outs.

C., U.S. A. Mrs. Massie was seized, beaten and criminally attacked, allegedly by five men, among them Joseph Kahahawai, a young native athlete. She said Kahahawal broke her jaw and assaulted her when she prayed tor mercy. The five men were brought to trial but the jury dis- agreed. Resentment sprang up in the navy group constituting a generous portion of Honolulu’s population, against what was termed the hood- lum class.

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 Blooming California A Bit of California Garden Scape. (Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington DC, USA) REAS of southern California which are normally arid, have recently burst forth in a riot of colorful wild flowers due to the unusually heavy rainfall. California has many showcases for the display of her diversified floral wares. In the high Sierrares are the snow plants, peeping inquiringly and a bit nervously through the snowcaps when the first warmth of spring moves the solid pack to mushy activity. Farther down the slopes, lichens, mosses, sundry family groups of ferns, and many varieties of wild flowers merge into the wooded lowlands, where, especially north of the Tehachapi mountains, the live oak spreads its shapely limbs and often affords protection while adding beauty to the pasture land, where herds of fat Herefords browse. In the northern part of the state roses grow with little cultivation, but with the profusion of goldenrod in Pennsylvania. No mere bushes suffice for the wealth of blossoms. They grow on trees, often to a height of 12 feet or more, and curious results of intergrafted varieties are sometimes found in freakish but delightful array on a single tree. In Santa Cruz arbors cover the sidewalks of some of the streets, and over these roses, intertwined with geraniums, climb and rest in clusters. Though the cultivated flowers which abound are beautiful and varied, all the way from the sand dunes, Scotch broom, and rhododendrons of Crescent City, which is almost the last outpost in California before the Redwood highway reaches the Oregon line, to Ramona's garden, in San Diego, only a few miles from the Mexican border, it is to the "wide open spaces," the desert and mountain sides of the southern part of the state, which we turn in chief appreciation. One may see and study the snow plant under the dome of Shasta, dip into the wonderland of plant and flower life at the experimental farm of the late Luther Burbank, near Santa Rosa, or wander through San Francisco's Golden Gate park, where he finds practically every variety of flower and plant that will grow under a kindly sun. The outstanding pride of this park is its thousands of rhododendrons, Himalayan varieties are in preponderance, followed closely by natives of California, Oregon, Washington, and the Carollnas. Especially conspicuous are the fragrantissimum, which attains a height of 7 to 10 feet, with flowers 4 inches in diameter and so fragrant that the odor can be detected from a modest group nearly a city block away. One of the National Geographic society's expeditions to Yunnan province, China, resulted in the addition of many hundreds of species of rhododendrons to the Golden Gate park collection. Dons Party Dress in Spring. In the early spring California dons her party dress and looks her best. The winter rains have tinted hillside and pasture land a verdant green. In the citrus areas the delicate orange blossom fills the air with its perfume, and miles of trees stretch like milky ways as far as the eye may follow. In other sections cherry blossoms stage an exhibition. The almond trees are indescribably lovely. The landscape is filled with color, while snow-capped peaks are seen through the tree tops. This is cultivated loveliness; but one day, after a searching rain followed by warm sunshine, a mountain side suddenly bursts into flame—a veritable spontaneous combustion. Literally, all outdoors become one vast garden of flowers, until it seems there is no end to the colorful panorama. The "cup of gold," as the Spaniards called the California poppy, is the queen of wild flowers. And the desert! Who can look upon the desert in the spring and talk of a barren waste? Even Death valley, for ages California's bogy spot, a place to be spoken of in awed whisper, a death trap, now has tourist hotels and tent camps. Desert vegetation exhibits its greatest growth and beauty between February and May. It includes the yucca and juniper, the creosote and mesquite, many varieties of shrub and herbage, an occasional Joshua tree, mixed with Indian painthrush (a member of the yucca family), monkey-flowers, lupine, prickly phlox, wild buckwheat, blazing-star, sunflower, barrel cactus bloom, cocotia, and many others, giving for a season the impression of a flower-carpeted world. In this lush period the desert literally blossoms as the rose, although the rose does not ordinarily blossom in the desert. The term "wild flowers" does not describe some of this desert flower. Occasionally they are savage flowers, capable of protecting themselves better than any man-made laws could possibly protect them. In magnificent color, in delicacy of texture of petal, the cactus flowers are perhaps the most wonderful of the California desert blossoms. But no one ever came home from the desert with a handful of cholla flowers or a bouquet of prickly pears. "Look and leave 'em" is the safest motto, for the cactus has a flendifish defense against all comers. California mothers no scenic symphony more marvelous than the Yosemite National park, with its mighty peaks, rugged canyons, giant trees, waterfalls tumultously spreading a protecting veil over the rocky outlines of naked clefts rising from the floor of the valley sheer a thousand feet or more. In the giant sequioia, the sugar pine, the western yellow pine, the red and white firs, and the incense-cedar, we have in this Yosemite region one of the most remarkable groups of conifers in the world. It serves to give the park an interest and charm which gratifies the esthetic sense and stirs deeply the imagination. A View of Contrasts. From Artist's Point there is a fine view of the valley and its contrasts in height and depth, in verdure and flora. Near the foot of Yosemite falls, the largest and most spectacular in the valley, the blueblossom, commonly called "blue iliac," grows in profusion, the soft coloring blending with the rainbow effects of the torrent, broken in its descent to the floor of the valley. The Yosemite National park, which embraces 1,100 square miles of "valley incomparable" and scenic mountains, offers a rich field for the botanist. So great is the range of natural conditions between foothills and mountain glaciers that one authority estimates that 1,200 species and varieties of flowers, plants, and ferns are native to this area. Though most of these are typical of the entire Sierra Nevada, many are exceedingly rare. The fragrance of the western zalea is enhanced by abundant bloom. The delicate canchalagua, with its snowy clusters of bright, thick flowers; the taller collioma, with its deuse heads of dainty, funnel-formed blossoms, almost salmon in color; the golden mimulus, or monkey-flower; countless blue flowers, such as the light-blue pentstem, with its whorls in tall stems; tall blue forget-me-nots; tiny dark-blue collisia; the red Indian paintbrush; the brilliant scarlet pentstem, with lance-shaped leaves and funnel-formed corolla, about one inch long; golden buttercups—all go to form the brilliant mosaic of large sheets and pools of color on the valley levels. The wide variety of conditions, ranging from the hot and dry slopes of the brush-clad foothills to the bleak summits above timberline, the abode of glaciers and perpetual snow, gives to the flora an exceedingly diverse and interesting character. Innumerable springs, creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes provide suitable habitats for moisture-loving plants. Rocky outcroppings, enormous cliffs, and gravelly ridges accommodate species adapted to such situations. The irregular topography yields southward-facing slopes, which receive the full effect of the sun's rays, as well as northward slopes, cool, moist and shady, where they are little felt. The altitude ranges from 2,500 feet in the foothill belt to more than 13,000 feet along the crest of the Sierra, Nevada. It is probable that the first white men to look upon Yosemite valley were members of the Joseph R. Walker expedition of 1883, which descended the western slope of the Sierras. This expedition apparently did not go down into the valley, and the effective discovery was not made until 1851, by members of the Mariposa battalion while in pursuit of hostile Indians. The first white men who frequented this Yosemite hinterland were miners, sheep herders, and cattlemen. Then came surveyors and soldiers to guard the mountain meadows and forests. And, lastly, the tourist, at first a little group at long intervals, but now in throngs, to see the glories of the mountains. The first systematic reconnaissance of the region was made by the California geological survey, between 1863 and 1867. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 21. 1932. EVENING GOWNS IN VARIETY OF COLORS Milady Has the Whole Pastel Range to Choose From. The whole pastel range of colors is mihady to choose from this year in selecting evening gowns: Old rose, orchid, wintergreen, waterblue, rosy beige, boise do rose, lemon yellow are among the favored shades. All the new colors, whether for street wear or dress occasion are clear and cheerful, and the combinations are gay, but never so striking that one gets tired of them before the pocketbook has recovered from the first attack. Black is played down because, even in a season when it is terribly smart, nobody can claim that it gives its weaker a spiritual lift, and that's what everybody needs this year. "When we do use black," suggests Betty Thorny in the Country Home, "we're apt to combine it with one of the reds instead of with white. White won't much in evident because it's expensive to keep up." Switching from colors to silhouettes she advises that the whole effect should be young and straight and trim. Skirt lengths, according to Miss Thornyly's summary, are just about where they were. Waistlines in the main have stayed put, though there are a few that drop the belt to the top of the hip bone and a few others that try the other extreme in the new high effect. This comes in the bodice-topped skirts that go up a couple of inches above the equator for day wear, and in the empire evening dresses that develop the same idea. This seems as new to our eyes as it did to the ladies who imitated the Empress Josephine with her long slinky frocks. For the young and slim it certainly offers a most beguiling gracefulness and an ease-of-making that fills the souls of the amateur seamstress with gice. GAY VELVETEEN By CHERIE NICHOLAS At all of the resorts this winter young girls have been wearing bright velvetleen coats or jackets over their light frocks and the fashion is carrying on through the spring with every promise for its vogue during the summer. This cherry-colored velvetleen coat, as pictured, poses over one of the very smart candy-stripe frocks which makes a diagonal fastening and the use of colorful buttons its outstanding styling features. FLASHES FROM PARIS Evening dresses of sheer woolen are shown. Smart Parisiennes wear dark gloves with light costumes. Jackets go to every length, but a jacket, long or short, is inevitable with every frock. Skirts straight and narrow prevail in spring costume collections. Narrow pleated edgings is a favorite new trimming for silk and sheer wool dresses. Beaded Fringes Are in Limelight Once Agu Beaded fringes are in again. Of course they are most cleverly handled and never overclimate, for one we want a dress that is reminiscent of an old-fashioned lamp shade, the kind with an edging of beaded fringe. Beading is of course suggested by the close-fitting bodice that sometimes wants something more than line to give it interest. You will find that almost every shop has included some beaded models in its new spring merchandise and you will enjoy wearing such a frock if you haven't had one for a long while. Crystal beads certainly do bestow a gala look on a frock and can't be approached for striking trimming. SCARF OF SILK OR FUR IS REAL CHIC Neckpiece Is Required With the Spring Costume. Once upon a time one tied a quilted wool-filled muffler of black satin about the neck and sallied forth to brave the cool spring breezes. Today it's either a fur piece or a scarf of gay silk tie in any one of a dozen fetching fashions. A suit without a scarf this spring is about as exciting as a cake without the frosting. Many of the suits are collarless and others are severely tailored, making almost imperative a neckpiece for the final touch of chic. In the fur line, a scarf of gaylak is popular. It is brought around the neck and drawn through a slot in the material on the right side. The silk scarfs are of every color and pattern imaginable, the bright reds and blues predominating in accordance with the theme of the Washington bicentennial. These scarfs are of different sizes and shapes, some fringed, some with hard rolled hems, some narrow, some wide, some square. But there's a new trick to wearing scarfs this spring. Some are arranged fisch fashion, others in the kerchief manner, knotted jauntily on the shoulder. For those who can wear it, there is the perky bow to one side under the chin, or the waistline scarf that does double duty of belt and scarf. pagana Considering that the highest style value is being placed on fine cotton weaves by the very best of designers and dressmakers these days, together with the fact that there just couldn't be anything prettier for bridesmaids to wear than crisp, youthful, colorful organdie, the bride-to-be planning picturesque adornment for her attendants should be guided accordingly. The winsome frock pictured may be repeated in any number of lovely pastel tints. The original model photographed is in an exquisite tone of pink. Large voluptuous looking durene embroidered flowers carry a lavish note of color, the durened yarn having a low luster which is very pleasing in its general effect. The capetel idea and the many-gore skirt are the "last word" in chic. STYLE NOTES Increasing emphasis is being placed upon knitted fashions. Bi-color jacket costumes made of glove silk are new in the field. Fashion demands that women be smartly gloved throughout the day. White for the suit, bright color for the blouse, is latest decree. When in doubt choose navy or nassau blue and you will make no mistake. The scarf tied jauntily about the throat plays an important role. Matching knitted or soft straw beret with every frock or suit bespeaks chic. Neatness Is Stressed There's very little compromise in the mode this year. A dressy frock is a dressy frock and not meant to be worn in the morning no matter how tailored its lines, or severe its treatment may be. And by the same token a sports ensemble is a sports ensemble and is not meant to be worn at an afternoon function. The woman who likes a brisk walk in the morning will find that there are ever so many smart little sports ensembles that will look good for town wear as well as in the country. Simplicity and neatness are stressed, the best sports clothes eschewing all but the most necessary trimming and accents. HUMAN, MAN-MADE NERVES ARE ALIKE Telephone Cable Resembles Man's Spinal Cord Cross-sections of two communication pathways — the man-made telephone cable and the human spinal cord—are remarkably similar in appearance. At the right in the micro-photo below are shown the closely spaced nerve fibres of the spinal cord leading to the brain from all nerve centers of the body. The other half shows the thousands of thread-like copper wires that are packed into a telephone cable. Wires like these link telephones of the nation with telephone central offices which, in turn, are joined by similar wires. The analogy not only applies to the physical appearance of the two pathways but also may be carried out as to their respective functions. Just as the nerves of the human body transmit intelligence to the brain so that man's actions may be co-ordinated, telephone wires tie practically the entire world together by voice communication, providing universal co-operation in social, political and business affairs. 126 Rides-One Cent Last year elevators in The Ohio Bell Telephone Company building in Cleveland traveled 56,038 miles and carried 3,850,810 passengers. The total cost of maintaining elevator service in this building was approximately $30,000, or an average cost of one cent for transporting 126 passengers. TELEPHONE LOSS REPORTED IN OHIO DURING LAST YEAR Quality of Service Maintained Despite Reduced Costs Of Operation The telephone industry in Ohio was affected seriously by the adverse business conditions during 1931, according to the annual report of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company for that year. At the end of last year the total number of telephones operated in the state by the Ohio Bell and other companies was 1,010,575, or approximately 45,000 less than the total of a year ago. Operating more than two-thirds of Ohio's telephones, the Ohio Bell had 694,685 telephones in service at the end of 1931, giving the company a net loss of 16,930 telephones for the year. The rapid decline in the number of telephones, which began in May, 1930, continued throughout 1931 with the result that from May, 1930, to the end of 1931 the Ohio Bell had a loss of 27,147 telephones. Bell Earnings Hit As an outgrowth of unsettled business and social conditions, the movement of telephones reached a peak in 1931. The Bell company connected 219,324 telephones during the year and disconnected 236,498. This abnormal transfer of telephones involving installation expense and loss of subscribers, cut into the company's revenues. The net earnings for the year were at the rate of 4.8 per cent on the cost of the company's plant and other assets. "Although it was necessary to make substantial reductions in telephone expenses, the operating departments maintained throughout 1931 their previous high standards of service," the report states. Fewer Incorrect Calls "Local calls, of which there were more than one billion in Ohio Bell territory, were handled with an improvement of one per cent in completion on the first attempt. Errors occurred on only 1.2 per cent of the calls handled. "IImprovement in the handling, both as to speed and accuracy, of inter-city calls was apparent throughout the year. In 1930, 80 per cent of the inter-city calls were put through in the same manner as local calls, whereas in 1931 approximately 86 per cent of the calls were similarly handled, with the calling subscriber holding the line. "The average time of completion to a distant point now is less than 100 seconds, whereas in 1929 it was 130 seconds and only a few years ago it was several minutes." Patronize Our Advertisers Handbags Are Things of Beauty M. HAUSEN By EMMA LOU FETTA NEW YORK—No longer is a handbag just a pocketbook plus a place to put a hanky and cosmetic outfit. The designers have brought forward this season a wealth of novelty in sizes, shapes, materials and adjuncts like locks. A handbag may now be a thing of really definite beauty and no end of charm. For your eye-enjoyment and guidance we've had sketched a number of new styles. Notice how they vary in size and shape. The smaller ones are for town and street wear; the big ones for resort and general Summer Hats By EMMA M. HARING. NEW YORK—Spring millinery included more types of hats than the American woman had been led to expect through the experience of previous years. Summer millinery offered more variety. Some of the most satisfactory hats are to be found in the "washable" classification. Fabric hats of durene cotton may be laundered, we've discovered, and they run the full gamut of the season's most becoming styles. Our illustration shows several including a beret which is really smart enough to wear and change simple and unpretentious. Then there's a turban with a fabric bow. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through it, and read it. I can truthfully say: "I is worth its weight in gold!" I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it, and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and in good touch, hearly half a century, puts his face foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) country convenience. All of them, however, are really quite capacious. You will notice, of course, the importance of fabrics in the current handbag world. Two of those illustrated are made of a soft, woolly, weave which combines durene and zephyr. They are charming when carried with country coats or sports dresses. The more formal bags shown are made of durene ribcord, a sturdy and exquisite fabric of which shoes, hats, suits, coats and beachwear are all being made, to the continued glory of the ensemble idea. For Every Face M. PAPING LOU FETTA and two hats with brims which are brim full—if we may say so—of beingcome. Hats with brims constitute what the designers are beginning to call "hats that are hats"—after the run we've had on hats we so constitute and on one side of the head as to look more like lop-sided halos. Among the hats illustrated you will easily find one or more town and country versions which will serve you weve with street suits or dresses and you will travel club clothes throughout the summer. And remember these duurene fabric hats can be washed. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the fire. That falls swounder 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 devotes him as his lawful prey.
