Former Legislator Dead A Former Legislator Dead. Boston, Mass.—Wm. Oscar Armstrong, age 88, of Roxbury, a suburb of this city, died, Sunday. He served in the old common council and the State Legislature, being the first of the race he was elected to those offices—from former Ward 9, Back Bay. Mr. Armstrong was born and educated in Oberlin, O., and when a youth went to Haiti with his parents where the latter engaged in teaching and missionary work. Coming to Boston, he entered politics. Besides serving in the council and the Legislature, he was a deputy sheriff for twenty-nine years in Suffolk superior civil courts. Surviving him are two daughters and two sons. Cuyahoga Lake with King Tut Band will go to Pittsburgh, tomorrow, to participate in memorial services. --- The ROUNDER Is Walter Only an "Assistant"? At least two-thirds of the voters of Ward 11 are Afro-Americans. In spite of this fact, the Democratic ward leader is a "grey" (white), and Walter Brown only his assistant, it is said. How come? Godfrey's Gambling Debt. Recently, Assistant County Prosecutor Seby Minor relieved Big Geo, Godfrey, pugilist and wrestler, from making good a check for $375 he gave in what he (Godfrey) characterized as "a perfectly good dicegame." Councilman Larry Payne represented Godfrey. But it took him to Gugwai that "the county prosecutor's office would not be made the agency for collecting a gambling debt." Lucky "break" for the latter, Eh? Miller Administration Given a. "Ride." The daily newspapers of last week Tuesday finally "woke up" and gave the Democratic Miller City administration a real "ride" because of the great increase in everything that had in the "Roaring Thirtieth" (Wards 11 and 12) and because of the "protection money" and "purchase of jobs" to which The Rounder has repeatedly called attention, in recent weeks. The Democratic leaders in ward 11, who were "warned," too, several weeks ago, and ward 12 are doing their best to keep wards 12 and 13 from being ward-leaders ever dared do and are apparently getting away with it, too. Praise For Hopkins, George and Artl The bumbershoot is to compliment Councilman M. R Hopkins, Clayborne George and Jos. Artl (white) for their stand against the $1.25 weekly pass (an unfair increase of twenty-five cents), and for their stand in favor of the street-car company's selling three tickets for a quarter instead of compelling patrons of the car company for the car or for ten cents straight fare. These three councilmen stood for the people and should be praised generally for so doing. Councilman Payne made a mistake that will "come home to roost," in the future, by voting against the interests of the people just when thousands of them are out of work, many unhappy with paying carfare. He voted with the street-car company. Bundy "Bumped Off"—A Good Job! Last Saturday's county Republican convention was a humdinger and a Bundy "Waterloo." The councilman was dropped as a member of the county executive committee and Mrs. Hazel M. Walker given the place, in spite of his pitiful plea in open convention. For this, he has no one but himself to blame. His conduct for the last two months, which resulted in his failure to attend many council meetings, and his insurgency on several previous occasions, when he opposed endorsed candidates of the local Republican organization that "made him," politically, on the insistence of the editor of the Gazette, combined during about the virtual expulsion from the county Republican executive committee. What seemed to exert Bundy more than anything else was the fact that his colleagues of color, Councilmen George and Payne, were re-elected as members of the executive committee. Maurice Maschke, leader of the local Republican organization who presided over the convention, treated Bundy with more consideration than he really was entitled to, under the circumstances. In spite of this, the latter ascended the plat JOHN BROWN, MARTYR Some Exceptionally Interesting Reminiscence From Common Pleas Judge A. R. Webber of Lorain County—Deserved Praise of Ex-Senator John P. Green and His Exceptional Career—A Fine Letter. Elyria, O., May 21, 1922. Hon. John P. Green. Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Friend:—Your exceedingly kind and interesting letter just received stating that you have reached your eighty-seventh milestone. Nobody would believe this in judging you by your handwriting M. B. Ex-Senator John P. Green, and composition ability as evidenced by your epistle. That observation of men has been that the observers of the other they are the more approachable they become at all times, regardless of race or color, whenever they find the other fellow rings true and has by his own native abilities and infatigable industry made a place for himself in the world's work, adding materially to the common weal. I have certainly received more benefit from you through our friendship than I can express on paper. Your marked abilities on your feet and off, your accomplishments by your pen and research, your contents for the truth, and life of sobriety have given you a distinguished name throughout the state, a reputation that will live for generations. I was called upon a few days ago to deliver an address in Richfield, Summit County, where they are celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of a Congregational church in which John Brown was a member in his twenties. He was born in Connecticut in 1800, his parents moved to Hudson in 1805. There he spent his life until twenty when he married. He had seven children by his first wife, thirteen by his second. He held no office, nor did he aspire to any. He attended for twenty years before the hustings at the age of fifty-nine on the second day of December, was to strike from your race the shackles of slavery. Gov. Wise after he talked with him in the old engine house said to others: "He is greater than Cromwell." After he was condemned to die, Wise said: "If he hadn't been guilty of treason I would commute his sentence to imprisonment." We now all know he was no more guilty of treason than you or I. Within eighteen months from the time he swung, this same governor led an armed force against the same United States Arsenal under a traitor's flag and turned them against the enemy. He had no chance to defend. He was not hung for treason year adds to the fame of John Brown. In oratory, song and poetry your race has produced men as gifted as my own. The lady at the head of my household affairs, Miss Leitch, and my niece want to be remembered to you and your good wife. I must again re-read your autobiography. It ought to be read by every person of both races. My am very busy in the Courts. My associate, Judge Thompson, form after the convention adjourned and tried to start an argument with Mr. Maschke, who again treated him with more consideration than he was entitled to. As he walked away, Bundy is quoted by a daily newspaper as muttering: "I'm not afraid of you. I can take care of myself." Well, he hasn't been doing this very well, especially in recent weeks, it seems. Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming, and twelve others (white), were also dropped from membership in the committee. Many months ago, Bundy, in the columns of the local daily newspaper, served notice on Mr. Maschke that if he came into the 17th ward to make a speech, he would run him out of the ward. When he later the local Republican organization did go out there to make a speech, Bundy him with open arms. This fall the voters may expect to see him weeping in repentance on Mr. Maschke's shoulder. That is, of course, providing he (Bundy) lives that long. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ROTTEN "RACKET" CONDITIONS COST SEVERAL WARD 12 DEMOCRATIC CLUB OFFICIALS THEIR CITY JOBS, TEMPORARILY, AT LEAST. "The Old Reliable" Gazette Starts the Democratic "Fire-Works"—Rodgers Warned—A "Mess", Worse Than Ever Before. The break came, last week, when the local daily newspapers finally investigated and noted the Democratic graft conditions in ward 12 to which The Rounder has been calling attention for several weeks. The department has similar conditions in ward 11 where, too, it is said certain garbage plant employees, appointed under the Miller city administration, paid $5 down and $5 or $2 each pay-day since, alleged ward club initiation fees and monthly dues, for their jobs. Club Officers Suspended Last week Friday, as a result of the newspaper expose of several days previous Dr. L. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader of ward 12, and two officers of the ward's Demo- torial Committee, to join job bills by Mayor Ray T. Miller, pending investigation of charges that the club was "selling police protection" along with its club memberships. Rodgers is a city district physician, having been appointed to succeed Dr. E. J. Gregg in April. The others suspended were Matthew M. Dunlop, president of the club and janitor of the policewomen's bureau, and Ollie Catlett, secretary of the club, an em- ployer of the club. Ave. yard of the city street department. Catlett were appointed, March 11. The suspensions followed a raid on the club's headquarters at 4312 Woodland Ave. Charles Bevar (white or rather "gray"), of 3528 Croton Ave., charged that keepers and inmates of vice-resorts were assessed $5 each for "club" mem- bership" on promise of police protection. D Rodgers, Dunlop, Catlett and Harry C. Quander, assistant secre- tor of club, had questioned by reporter, last week Thursday, that women connected with vice were among the club's members. They denied, however, that anyone had been promised police protection in return for joining the organization. Of course! "Lid Not On," Rodgers Said. The sudden crush of blue-coated officers came on the heels of charges of "protection" in the roaring third and the declaration of Dr. L. L. Rodgers, founder of the Twelfth Ward Democratic club, that he will call a showdown with city officials on vice, bootlegging and racketinger in his ward. He declared that he is prepared, "if necessees a public does not know, and which officials prefer should not be known." "Mayor Miller and Safety Director Merrick have never made an honest effort to clean up conditions, at least so far as the twelfth ward is concerned." Dr. Rodgers declared. "The lid is not on and has not been on. If this graft quiz is followed far enough, as I intend it shall be, it is likely that things and persons will be uncovered that will prove unpleasant to somebody." Rodgers asserted. The twelfth ward Democratic leader's statement was in direct conflict with Mayor Miller's campaign pledge to "unshackle" the police and clean up vice. Rodgers said he would call a meeting of directors of the 12th Ward Democratic club, early this week, to consider steps to recover the club's records, which, he said, were illegally seized by Acting Detective Captain James Hoxan at Director Merrick's orders; and that he would have recourse to his legal rights in ascertaining the grounds upon which Mayor Miller son, had a nervous breakdown, has been away for a rest, but will be back next Monday. I am to deliver on the 10th of September in your county the annual address before "THE WESTERN RESERVE SETTLER'S ASSOCIATION." I have not been notified just where they meet. I trust you will be there. The title of my sub-ship will be "THE MARCH OF DEMOCRACY." I do not ask you to come to learn anything new or be entertained by my humble effort but want you as a living exhibit to whom to point as one of the evidences of progress. I am now writing a serial article entitled "HISTORY OF HINCKLEY", thirty-one chapters of which have already appeared by request in the Medina Gazette. It will appear in book form when fifty-two chapters have been published. It is the town where I was born, bequeathed, the soil made sacred by the life Hiram Miller and his associates in contending for the rights of the people. Sincerely your friend. A. R. WEBBER.

THE COPY FIVE CENTS POSED! BASKET" CONDITIONS TO 12 DEMOCRATIC CLUB THEIR CITY JOBS, FILLY, AT LEAST. Zette Starts the Democratic ers Warned—A "Mess", ordered that he be suspended as a district physician, along with the club's two chief officers, from the city employ. The club has nothing to hide," he said. "We are as interested as the public is to find out who the gratters in this district are, and to bring all guilty parties under scrutiny of a grand jury investigation. I have tried to reach the mayor, the safety director and Democratic headquarters on this investigation. I am not sure the court would not play this role much longer in this political fight." Merrick Reveals Warning. Director of Public Safety Frank Merrick said he warned Dr. Rodgers and the Democratic leader in Ward 11, several weeks ago, to resist "their leadership," but that Rodgers did not follow this advice. The director denied the city had delayed cleaning up the 12th ward, although it was not until newspapers had exposed the racket that he had the club raided, and the mayor ordered suspension of the three club leaders. Merrick declared that Charles Beevar, who has accused club officials of operating the racket, wrote a letter promising to deliver the brothel vote if the director would play ball with him. "A week later, he telephoned me," Merrick said, "and treated the whole thing as a mistake. Beevar was defeated for chairman and this whole thing smells of sour grapes. That's why Beevar squealed on the crowd. "I told Dr. Rodgers to clean out all the vice resort operators two weeks ago," Mr. Gongwer said. "We'll clean this situation up ourselves if the investigation shows that action is necessary." Says He Ordered Refunds. Rodgers admitted that he had attempted to carry out the Gongwer command. "I instructed the secretary not to sell any cards to resort keepers, and told him to refund dues and cancel cards of any such members," he said. Catlett, quizzed by a reporter, scoffed at the notion that Gongwer should have given any such order to Rodgers. Mayor Miller said he had instructed Mr. Frick to find out who was obtaining money under false pretenses and to prosecute them. Dr. Rodgers was known to police as a "pickup man" for policy gambling joints, two patrolmen testified. Wednesday, in police court. A "pick-up man," it was explained, is the man who gathers tickets and takes them to the drawing headquarters of the gambling ring. U. S. SUPREME COURT GETS SCOTTSBORO PLEA! The Appeal Is Being Made Regardless of the Newspaper Stories to the Contrary—American Pressure Abroad. Washington, D. C., May 23.—The cases of the seven Scottboro, Ala. boy-victims were filed, today, in the U. S. supreme court. On May 31, it will announce whether the review will be granted. Should the review be denied, the seven innocent youths will be executed. June 24. A fee of $105 was paid to the U. S. Supreme Court for the inspection, and still $1450 was turned over to the U. S. government. Printing office for the certified record. Walter Pollack, well-known leading New York City lawyer who two months ago joined the legal staff of the International Labor Defense, to help with the Scottboro cases, will lead the fight in the U. S. Supreme Court for a reversal of the death-verdicts which the Alabama Supreme Court upheld, several months ago. Further evidence that the U. S. government is bringing pressure to bear on the government of Germany and other European countries, to try to prevent the European workers from joining with American workers of all races or groups to help fight the Scottsboro cases, is seen in an article which appeared last week in "Affairs," a magazine published in Washington for the private consumption. More "Jim Crow." New York City.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Julius Rosenwald (deceased) and the Phelps-Stokes Foundation of N. Y.

(Bell 'Phone: Cherry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1804 to 1806; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 IN UNION IS STRENGTH It is a well-known fact that the officials of the N. A. A. C. P. are Socialists or lean very perceptibly toward Democracy. This doubtless explains why they failed, in their speeches at the organization's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., last week, to make clear to our people just how far independent voting should be carried, when necessary. It can often be done in local and state elections but never in federal elections—for presidential electors and members of The Congress. --- Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati, years ago a member of the Ohio Legislature from (Cincinnati) Hamilton county, was renominated at the recent primary. That gives our people of Ohio two candidates for state representative, the other one being Chester K. Gillespie of this city and county. Now, it is up to our people of Cuyahoga and Hamilton counties to do all they can to help secure Gillespie's and Beaty's triumphant election in November, because we will need the representation in the State Assembly, next winter, to help defeat the efforts of the Ohio Ku Klux Klan to put over its anti-"Negro" legislative program. --- The Gazette compliments Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader in ward 12 of this city, on the more or less thrilling political (Democratic) mess he has stirred up, and sincerely trust that he will maintain the manly independent stand, he has apparently taken, at least long enough to bring about a marked improvement in the miserably immoral conditions existing in the so-called "Roaring Third" police-prefect where not only racketeering but also boot-legging, dope-dealing and all the bad that goes with them is so rampant. Conditions in that section of this city were never so bad, unquestionably the worst in the city of Cleveland. --- The four convicted lynch-murderers (white) of that native Hawaiian, Jos. Kahahawai, have returned to this country; Mrs. Granville Fortescue, her son-in-law, Thos. H. Massio; and the two enlisted sailors. Massie and his wife, who caused all the trouble, are to re-locate in Kentucky. Conviction takes from the four citizen-rights. Only a pardon will restore them, and an effort, which is expected to be successful, is being made to accomplish this. This would complete one of the greatest travesties of law in the history of this country and be the greatest official endorsement of southern lynch-law. It would be interesting to know the ground on which Lieut. Massie and the two sailors are retained in the active service of the U. S. Navy since the loss of certain citizen-rights, pending the probable issuance of a pardon. HOOVER'S MESSAGE President Hoover's message to the annual meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., Washington, D. C., last week, was intended not only for that organization but for all of our people of the country. Much more attention and credence would be given it if the President had done anything worthwhile, during his near four years in office, to promote our progress "in education, wealth, in participation in agriculture, industry and civil life." As a matter of fact, he has held from us, and is still holding, about all the recognition and representation in governmental affairs we are entitled to, as a potent factor of the party that made him President. More than this, his treatment of our people, at times, has amounted to mistreatment, with the resultant effect of retarding our progress and lowering our status in the estimation of other classes or groups of Americans. All this cannot be brushed away with a few pleasant words as to the progress our people have made in all the years preceding his administration, and any progress that may have been made during the same with no material assistance from him. Indeed, his mistreatment, referred to, has had a tendency to hinder our progress, if we have made any during his tenure of office. This is the plain, unvarnished truth. Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur's address to the association's annual meeting does not impress, either. INDEPENDENT VOTING. Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington D. C., and Robert W. Bagnall of N. Y. City, a secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in addressing the annual meeting of that organization in Washington, D. C., last week, urged our people to "vote independently of binding party commitments." This is undoubtedly good advice until it gets to the point where we vote for presidential electors and members of The Congress. Helping to install a Democratic President and a majority Democratic vote in The Congress is bad business for this race of ours, for the very good reason that southern Democracy, which dominates national Democracy, is placed in control of the country when a Democratic President and a Democratic majority in both branches of The Congress are elected. And every member of the race knows what that means to all of our people in the U. S. A. If any have forgotten for the moment, they have only to recall the sad conditions, generally, that existed for us under the Democratic Wilson administration dominated by southern Democracy as it was. If hurt to the bone not in the South but in very many sections of the North wherever the Democratic Wilson administration exercised its inimical influence against us "Negroes", like Kelly Miller and Robert Bagnall who recommend that our people divide their vote, when a federal election is on, are either thoughtless or wilfully dumb when it comes to certain phases of political action which affect directly and indirectly vital interests of the race, particularly our civil rights and privileges. PRIME SPORT NEWS. Our Champions The International Boxing Union recently assembled in Geneva, Switzerland, and approved seven world champions, among the number being Al Brown, bantamweight, and Wm "Gorrilla" Jones, middleweight. As a matter of fact, we have three or four more world-champion "pugs." Brown and Jones are not the only ones. The Stars Win. Charles Beverly won his first game of the season. Monday afternoon, for the Cleveland Stars, beating Washington 5 to 4, but he can thank his stars there were men like Shortstop Cooper, center fielder Redus and second baseman Mottel on the team with him. It was these men who time after time yanked it for the Beverly win column. Mottel was especially brilliant in his base running. He pluffered three sacks. Scoring six runs in a wild batting rampage in the last of the ninth inning, Tuesday, The Stars nosed 9 to 8. Successive hits by Redus, Hirsch Shunger, Wade and Mitchell brought the victory after the game appeared "in" for the visitors. The series was to end, Wednesday afternoon, but it rained. Owens a Marvel! Lakewood, O. Field.—East Tech High, Cleveland, led by Jesse Owens, its "Afro" ace, ended Lakewood's long reign of supremacy over northeastern Ohio athletes by nosing out George D. Corneal's speedsters by three-quarters of a point in the thirteenth annual Northeastern Ohio track and field meet here, last Saturday afternoon. Owens also cracked the broad jump record with a leap of 23 feet 6 inches, bettering his own mark by 1 foot 2 inches in 10.4 seconds. In a outstanding success of his team by running anchor on the victorious half-mile relay quartet. There is no way of knowing what Owens would have done if N. E. O. rules had not limited him to participation in three events besides the relay. Although several new marks were set in the events, Judge James Lee ruled against their acceptance because of strong winds. One of the records to fall unofficially was the 100-yard dash, which Owens ran in 19.8 seconds. He held jointly by Murray of Lakewood, Gough of Latin and Bill White of Lakewood. Fields of Oberlin B-20yard high hurdles sprint. Saturday did not mark the first occasion on which Owens swept the card, but his feat was outstanding because it was registered against the sternest competition the Tech flash ever faced. It was achieved, moreover, in evidence of the fact that Owens has completely recovered from illness which hampered his effectiveness in the state of competition will be the center of attraction in the state scholastic finals at Columbus, next week. Almost all the schools in this section, class B as well as class A, will be represented in the events at Ohio State stadium. Ed. McAuley, a well-known sportwriter on The Cleveland News, said Monday: "Here to Jesse Owens, Commendation of East Tech's brilliant track hardly comes under the head of originality. His performance on the cinders since his junior high days has been of such superior quality that he is the subject of countless eulogies. But in the opinion of this writer Owens reached new heights, last Saturday, in leading the Scarab to the Northeastern Ohio championship, the first time in 13 years that any school has prevailed over Lakewood's Purple speedsters."

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 a authority of law, shall be demanded a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter.

(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 6282. 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, the child's minor children, surviving such decedent, 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 a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) 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. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: B.S. ed. representative of victim of lynchming try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. must another county. tim of lynching lynch another. such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (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 enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1844: 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, to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Bedell, Another "Afr" Champion!

C.) - WNU Service. CEBERGS, the white terrors of the North Atlantic ship lanes, are on their annual migration from the Arctic to their doom in the warm waters on the gulf stream. Already North Atlantic traffic lanes have been moved 60 miles southward by order of the ice patrol which reports that some 350 bergs will move southward during the 1932 ice season of April, May and June. Icebergs have always been the dread of the transatlantic navigator. They drift hither and yon. They give no warning of their presence. They are propelled now by ocean currents, now by tides, and now by winds and waves. Fog is their constant companion. A vessel speeding through an area infested with moving ice, during night or in fog, plays a game of chance. Even on a starlit night a berg cannot be seen beyond a half mile; but when the position of the ice is known to the navigator, the danger is eliminated; he can alter his course to avoid the menace. The ice comes down every year, as it has for centuries; but now every berg that follows the eastern edge of the Grand Banks into the steamer lanes is kept under surveillance by the international ice patrol. From this service navigators can learn the answer to the question which each asks: "Where is the ice?" Not a single ship has been lost through collision with an iceberg since the patrol was inaugurated. Greenland's "icy mountains" alone are the source of the icebergs that come as far south as the steamer lanes, journeying about 1,800 miles—approximately the distance from Washington, D. C., to Denver—before they become "white specters" to shipping. With the exception of a small strip of coast line, Greenland is completely covered with a vase ice cap. It's estimated thickness is 5,000 feet. Always the ice mantle is moving down the slope of the land toward the sea, in great glaciers, pushing out through the valleys. As the ice reaches the sea it noses out into the water until buoyancy lifts it up, and then the front of the glacier breaks off at a weak spot. There is a deafening roar and a thunderous crash, and with a tidal splash the glacial fragment plunges heavily into the sea, almost submerging. The water is churned into creamy waves as the newborn berg shakes off the sea, regains its equilibrium, and settles itself comfortably for a long journey southward. Come From Greenland. There are eight principal berg-producing glaciers in Greenland. The worst offenders are those of Disko bay, Jakobshaven, and Torsukatak, Karajak, and Umanak on the west coast. Bergs are discharged in vast numbers from these and other Greenland flords. Yet few come south of Newfoundland. Many are too small to last long. Only the fittest survive the buffetings of the sea, to be carried south on the flow of the Labrador current and along the eastern edge of the banks into the gulf stream. This warm current gives them short shrift; but until they have dwindled to the size of an ample library desk they are capable of staving in a vessel's plates. The Labrador current, although a danger carrier, has its usefulness. It teems with all kinds of marine life, affording breeding and feeding grounds for our best food fish. The berg danger period coincides with the heavy flow period of the Labrador current each year—that is, from March 1 to July 1. It is during this period that the cutters patrol the ice-endangered areas. Two cutters are assigned to the ice patrol, with a third cutter held in reserve. The cutter on duty is a busy place every day. To carry out the orders, "to locate the icebergs and ice fields nearest the transatlantic steamship lanes, and to determine the southerly, easterly and westerly limits of the ice as it moves to the southward, and keep track of all ice seen or reported," is not an easy task. The oceanographer's day begins before the break of dawn, because he must get star sights for position if the fog permits, the first of the series to be made and checked all during the day. At six o'clock the first ice broadcast goes out to the ships with modern equipment: "Patrol vessel near two bergs—latitude, 42 degrees 30 minutes; longitude, 48 degrees 30 minutes; set and drift, 180 degrees fiftenths of a knot per hour; foggy, smooth sea." Added to this will be the position of perhaps twenty other bergs. The set and drift data enable the ship navigators to know that the two most, are coming south at the speed given. The oceanographer notices, white plotting the water temperature, reports from ship that their present courses might carry them close to a number of dangerous bergs. An ice warning is immediately dispatched, which the vessels acknowledge with thanks. The vessels alter their courses to clear the ice. On the great steamer lane between Europe and America liners, cargo carriers, and tramps pass constantly. It is an avenue of the sea just as much as Michigan boulevard or Fifth avenue is a heavy traffic street. On what is known as the "westbound tracks" are the ships coming from Europe, and on the "eastbound tracks", 60 miles south, are the ships going to Europe. All vessels off the tracks are reported for violation of the rules. A vessel off the track is just as dangerous as an iceberg or a derelict. The ice patrol cutter stands as a traffic officer on this avenue of the sea. If the ice threatens blockage, the cutter sets the stop sign and turns the traffic into a "side street" detour to the south. Three separate charts are plotted recording the ship's ice and water temperatures. The latter is very important, because by using from 900 to 1,300 messages in 15 days one can locate the "cold wall," the line of demarcation between the gulf stream water and the cold Labrador current water. The Danger Line. This line is the danger line, because icebergs that are perils to shipping seldom cross it. The location of it at the beginning of the season is an index to the severity of conditions to be expected. A berg that crosses the line commits quick suicide, for water at 55 to 60 degrees melts ice very rapidly. A big berg will disappear seven days after it crosses the line. The cold wall is easy to see. North of it the ocean is a beautiful olive green, south of it the water is indigo blue. The higher content of microscopic marine life gives the Labrador current its olive-green tone. The prow of a cutter can be in green water of 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the stern in warm blue water, that registers 60 degrees. The crew may swim in tropical temperature water, while half a mile away to the north floats a large iceberg, drifting in cold water. As a boat approaches a floating ice island a sizzling sound become audible. Close attention shows that this comes from small pieces of ice slipping off into the sea. Unlike ordinary ice lumps, the pieces effervesce. This is a peculiarity of glacial ice, due, in all probability, to the fact that it is compacted of snow. Thousands of Americans sailed to Europe last year. Few of them were aware, as they retired to their state rooms at night, of what precautions were being taken for their safety. They did not know that in the radio room on the upper deck of their ships, a message from the ice patrol was coming in, telling about fog and icebergs. Nor did they realize that their liner was reporting a coast guard cutter drifting on the Grand Banks, so that officers on the cutter could check to learn if the liner's course was entirely clear of danger. The Titanic catastrophe in April, 1912, shocked the entire world, and a universal demand for a patrol gave birth to the International Ice patrol. Immediately after the Titanic disaster the United States navy detailed two cruisers for guard duty until the last bergs disappeared from the steamer lanes in late June. In the spring of 1913 two revenue cutters were detailed to carry out the patrol. During the fall of the same year the international conference for the safety of life at sea was convened at London, to organize this patrol on an international basis, in recognition of its service to ships of all nations. Representatives of the principal maritime nations of the world signed the agreement on January 20, 1914, creating the International Derelict Destruction, Ice Observation, and Ice Patrol service. The United States was asked to undertake the management of this service. This country agreed to send two vessels which would patrol the danger area during the iceberg season. Each of the contracting parties consented to bear a share of the cost in proportion to its shipping tonnage. The United States coast guard is charged with the duty of maintaining the patrol. Therefore, when the cutters sail for the Banks' ice guard every March, they go in the name of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United States, but serve the shipping interests of the entire world.

Gorgeous Prints With Velvet Accents Gorgeous Prints With Velvet Accents By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1930s FASHION has discovered nothing more gloriously harmonized to aft. FASHION has discovered nothing more gloriously harmonized to afternoon and formal evening environment than richly colorful prints. This season, more than ever, printed materials have a way of telling their intention. You know the moment you look at a print whether it is to be worn formally or informally. As in every other realm of fashion at the present moment, it is smart for prints to be gay. The dresser prints, especially, are perfectly gorgeous. This is so not only in the matter of their exotic coloring, but their patterning is outstanding. One finds, for instance, such striking effects among evening chiffons as a black background with life-size tulips printed in red and white with leaves in lively green. Natural flowers which look almost as if hand-painted flourish in the printed mode, special prominence being given to field flowers, the red of the enormous poppies and the blue of the cornflowers responding to the red, white and blue of the now-so-fashionable bi-centennial colors. A crinkled construction is favored in chiffons this season, which include many tinted grounds with delicate artful color work in variized patterns. These carry large florals of tropical aspect, which seem to say that they are going to dance under moonlit skies or pose on picturesque verandas, or be seen elsewhere midst luxurious surroundings under glamorous lights. Bordered chiffons done in real flower colorings capture the fancy of every woman seeking the new and the beautiful. They work up delightfully into the new scarf drapes and gypsy girdle effects. Just as if the richly colorful prints of present vintage were not sufficient unto themselves, fashion fills their cup of beauty full to overflowing by adding a velvet accent which repeats a leading tone of the designful patterning. It may be achieved, this added touch of elegance, via a velvet girdle or soft tied bows at the shoulder AFTERNOON FROCKS NOT SO ELABORATE With the return of beige as a costume color, other pastels have come into prominence—soft pinks and greens and blues. But there is no elaboration to these frocks. They do not approach the feminine fashion of afternoon dresses that we have always associated with the name. For these are essentially day-time dresses. The smartest frocks are fashioned along simply tailored lines, without much trimming, except perhaps the ever-present lingerie touches. Rough silk crepes and flat silk crepes are used, but always silks with dull surfaces. Sheer crepes also, of the heavier varieties, that tailor almost like flat crepe, are very smart for spring. Black dresses, with plenty of white trimming, will, of course, be worn with black coats, but many women will seize this opportunity for lightness and brightness. Coral, pink, light greens and blues and beige all make smart frocks to wear with black coats. With a blue coat the lighter shades of blue form a pleasing contrast. With brown, beige or the aquamarine shades are particularly attractive. These dresses, fortunately, will not be long. Longer dresses will be of a more formal type for late afternoon occasions and formal dinner. These frocks will be more elaborate, and lower as to decolletage. Drooping Shoulders New Graceful Figure Line Women shouldn't wilt this season in evening gowns but just a slight drooping of the shoulders (with perfect dignity and body control is considered a new and graceful figure line). In order to help the smart woman to accomplish this little trick without overdoing it, you will find that dressmakers have turned to the insertion of many yokes, guilding the lines in artful swerves about and off the shoulders. This is done for coats as well as dresses and blouses. Your Copy or an Acqu I or at other strategic points. It is, perhaps, to their little velvet wraps that evening fashions owe most of their gaiety. Waist-length jackets or capes or boleros—the treatments are varied, but the idea is universally appealing. Fashion-wise budgeteteers, this year, are planning at least two jackets with their evening frocks—one in velvet in a high color and the other in the fabric, which makes the dress. For instance, the strikingly colorful printed flowery dress with its jewel-clasped velvet girdle as shown to the left in the illustration spends as you now see it, a formal afternoon at bridge. With the jacket removed it stays on for dinner and dancing. It again alters its appearance completely when later on in the season of festivities it changes its printed jacket for a short wrap of bright medici velvet that matches one tone in the print. When it comes to thrills and frills, too for that matter, for many of them boast myriads of pretty frivolous rufflings and shirrings, there is nothing so conspicuously present as the new little caplet wraps of velvet in vivid tone. For instance, if milady's dress is made of one of the very new printed heavy sheer crepes like the Persian print pictured on the figure standing to the right in the picture, she may wear a wrap-around cape of flame-colored medici transparent velvet to repeat a colored motif in the print. It is taken for granted that somewhere in reserve a brief jacket of matching print is in waiting to complete upon demand a perfect ensemble for dinner or informal evening wear. The twisted scarf, or those braided, which employ two or three colors of velvet, are accessories which should be included in every wardrobe of pretty trifles which brighten the spring or summer costume. © 1832, Western Newspaper Uplon.) DAYTIME PRINTS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Jane Regny designed this unusual and very likable frock for afternoon wear, featuring one of the neat daytime prints in a small all-over patterning in soft shades of blue. The styling which calls for front flat-fitted skirt lines in contrast to a graceful tiare flare at the back is admirably demonstrated in this model. Many of the smart lace evening frocks have adopted this tiered, flared effect at the back with flattering success. y of The C aintance w Science Captures Fragrance of Bermuda Lilies THE exotic fragrance of Bermuda lilies has now been captured by science and turned into a charming perfume for milady. Tons of fresh flowers during the season are packed in boxes with special material to absorb the exquisite scent of the blooms, which upon refining becomes one of the most pleasing odors yet perfected. Although but recently introduced, the lily perfume is achieving remarkable popularity among discriminating women, and a new and important indus-try for historic Bermuda is now in the making. The photographs show girls collecting blooms for the making of the new perfume, and the filling of the vials with the essence. Many thousands of flowers are required for the essence in one of the vials. The method of extracting the lily scent from the flowers was perfected by an American chemist, Herbert Scott. He is now experimenting with other flowers in Bermuda, such as wild myrtle and frangipani, and it is expected that within a few years Bermuda may become prominent as a producer of many new and unusual perfumes.
