Forty-two of our Gold Star mothers left, last week Friday, on the steamship "American Merchant" for London and Paris. Col. Benj. O. Davis was the escort as usual. The master in chancery of the superior court of Chicago has asked the supreme court to suspend from practice for at least one year Atty. Harold M. Tyler for issuing a bogus check, etc. The Victory Life Ins. Co. of Chicago, temporarily suspended by the Illinois State insurance department, is making strenuous efforts to meet the department's requirements, soon so as to resume business. Prospects good. The recent national convention in Chicago of the Communists was attended by 1,000 delegates, about 50% of whom were Afro-Americans. Hundreds of delegates of both races "came from the heart of the South." Mrs. Eloise C. Bishop, public school teacher of N. Y. City and daughter of the late, Bishop Archibald J. Carey, has sued for separation from her husband, Rev. Shelton H. Bishop, assistant rector of St. Phillips P. E. church, that city. Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois delivered the commencement address (at Cheyney, Pa. Training School for Teachers, June 6, '32), the subject of which was "Happiness," with the doctrine of communism subly woven through this philosophical treatise.—Pittsburgh Courier. Benj. O. Davis, Jr., of Chicago, former resident of Cleveland, O., who has successfully passed the mental and physical examinations for entrance on July 1 to West Point, N. Y., U. S. Military Academy, was appointed by Congressman Oscar DePriest. He is the son of Col. Benj. O. Davis, U. S. A. Before leaving for his annual holiday in Italy, recently, Director Gatti-Casazza, of the Metropolitan Opera Co., announced that he will produce The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Atty. J. E. Ballard is a member of the campaign committee of the Cleveland Bar Association which will select judicial candidates when the association will sponsor this fall. Ion. Harry E. Davis, Atty. Louise J. Pridegon, Councilman L. O. Payne and several others of our local attorneys are grooming for the race, it is said. Former State Senator John P. Green may also enter. Gillespie, Glenn and Payne have agreed to take the Forte case to the Court of Appeals, "without hope of compensation," so the first-named informs The Gazette. None of them got into the case until the motion for a new trial was heard, last Saturday morning week, when he had been informed he would for two reasons: First, because it shows that there are others of our local attorneys, in addition to Former State Senator John P. Green, who "have a heart," and secondly, because these three attorneys have a chance to keep the Democratic city administration from making a "goat" of Forte, too, and on a ($25) bribery charge, right after letting off of his bribery, the white city employee, both convicted of bribery in recent weeks. Benhof plead guilty to a $200 bribery charge. When Councilman Roy Bundy went to the support of Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, in the closing weeks of the recent primary campaign, deserting the candidacy of David S. Ingalls, the organization candidate, local daily newspapers announced that he secured the distribution of 5,000 copies of a local race-weekly paper, presumably with vicinity in the interest of the Brown candidacy. Bundy had previously called the paper to secure $200 from the local Republican organization (Maurice Masehke, leader) to support the Ingalls' candidacy which it was doing until after April 23, '32, when he, Bundy, brought about its change to the support of the Brown candidacy, at the expense to the latter of $175. This doublecrossing of the Republican organization was what undoubtedly caused Bundy's being dropped from membership in the local Republican executive committee. It also caused the organization's supporters in the 17th ward, where Bundy lives, to carry the ward for Ingalls by a large majority over Bundy in the 17th ward, and that the Brown candidacy support it. It will not difficult to figure out just what is going to happen to him in the future, as far as the organization is concerned. The result is that many of our people in the 17th ward are already casting candidate for the council to succeed Bundy after the fall election of next year. They realize, too, that they have been practically without representation in the Cleveland City Council for nearly all of the last two or three months owing to his enforced absence from his post of duty. an operatic version of Eugene N'oill's miserable play, "The Emperor Jones," next season. It is said that Lawrence Tibbett, in black-face, will sing the leading part. There are nine of our Scottsboro boy-victims, Two, Eugene Williams and Roy Wright, have been granted new trials, while seven, Haywood Patterson, Andy Wright, Clarence Norris, Charlie Weems, Ozie Powell, Olen Montgomery, and Willie Roberson are awaiting the U. S. Supreme Court's review of their cases in an effort to get new trials. Funeral services for Miss Helen, age 23, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Glenn, E. 63d St.; were held at Cory M. E. church, last week Friday afternoon. President Hoover May Attend Summer Opera AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF THE MARKETING SERVICES FOR THE MARKETING SERVICES FOR THE MARKETING SERVICES A delegation of Clevelandans was received yesterday by President Hoover at the White House in Washington.

Nearly two hundred of our men and women sit in a semi-circle at rehearsals in the gymnasium of K. of C. hall, 2612 Prospect Ave., while in the center stands a soft-spoken young lady, Miss Shirley Graham, whose new opera, "Tom-Tom," promises to create a sensation on its world premiere in the stadium here at an early date. Miss Graham personally directs the great chorus. In another part of the hall, the auditorium, Maestro Carlo Peroni directs the choruses to be heard in "Carmen" and "Alda." From 2 to 4 p. m., Charles Weldman, the famous creative dance artist, with Doris Humphreys, paces the large ball thru their modern numbers to be given in these operas. That the picture shows the second grand season in the stadium from June 29 to July 6. The first act of the three-act opus, "Tom-Tom," opens in an African jungle before 1619. The opening scene of the second act shows the Africans in America. The final act takes them to Harlem, carrying the African slaves to the missions of life, and changes in music, with the tom-tom underlying them all. Kiddies Find An inter-racial health-center and child-care institute, popularly designated as "The Ark," has been opened at 2234 E 70th St., this city. Primary purpose of the center will be to care for the children of parents who have no place to leave them while at work, according to Mrs. Louise Hampton, director, shown above serving good spinach to children in the community there daily.

Bledsoe, a famous "Old Man River" of the Ziefeld success, "Show Boat," and of "Deep River," gained his greatest fame in Europe. Lillian Cowan also of N. Y. City, formerly one of our Cleveland girls who for the first time as the soprano in "Porgy," has been secured to sing the role of "The Girl" in "Tom-Tom." Charlotte Murray, another of our prominent New York church and concert singers, will have the mezzo-soprano role, "The Mother," while another contralto role, "The Mammy," will be sung by Mary Branch, well-known local artist.

THE COPY FIVE CENTS A SECRET LYNCHING Said to Have Taken Place, Last Week, in Southern Ohio—Several Whites Accused. Ironont, O.—Four men (white) were arrested here, Saturday, after finding the body in the Ohio River of Luke Marion, age 35, of Atlanta, Ga., apparently the victim of a mob which is said to have taken him from the South Point jail, last week Tuesday night, where he was held for threatening two men (white) with a knife, one of whom was Ben Hall. The body was badly battered county officials expected to arrest 12 other whites for investigation. Those against whom charges have been filed are: Lawrence L. Mashie, age 19; Taylor Napier, 24; Theo Johnson, 29; Milford Massie, 20; Willard Massie, 44; Clyde Elkins, 20, and Garland Massie, 24, all of South Point. Elkins, Lawrence and Willard Massie were released under bonds of $1,000 each. Marion came to South Point, many caskets, charcoal, Hoyley Davidson, of Atlanta, who came north to settle a family estate. Hall was being held in jail as a witness against Marion at the time of the alleged mob demonstration. went to New York to complete his studies and became a concert singer, later joining the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers. King, like Miss Cowan, got his musical start here. He studied under Cassius C. Chapel at the Cleveland Music School Settlement while Miss Cowan was the pupil of Mrs. Rachel Walker Turner. A triple role of "Leader-Preacher-Captain" will be carried by Augustus Grist, our well-known local baritone, completing the list of principal roles, although many minor ones have been assigned to others of our local singers. Besides these stars and the giant chorus, there are dancers, groups for pantomime, warriors to represent Africans of the jungle, and numerous "extras." Every detail of the production of "Tom-Tom" will be authentic and realistic, announce the producers, Dr. Ernest Lert and Laurence A. Higgins. The Playhouse Settlement, under Russell W. Jelliffe is conducting a contest for the best full-set designs of masks, costumes, troop designs, head masks, shields and such. To make the jungle scenes realistic, I. Chikazakia Steady, missionary of Africa, has been secured to collaborate with Dr. Ernet Lert in staging some of the scenes. The two performances of "TomTom" will present many of these native jungle scenes, given for the first time in history on any stage. In the final act to connect Africa with the world, a prosecco explosion showing a ship sinking behind the mammoth stage set in the stadium. Elaborate staging plans also call for elevated railroads which really run, subways, automobiles and cabaret scenes in the final act showing New York's Harlem. The opera is replete with African music, spirituals and modern "Bible" songs. The stage will be extremely realistic, the same can be said of the ballets in "Aida" and "Carmen." The "Dance of Victory" in "Aida" will cover practically the entire stage with the dancers coming in from all entrances. In "Carmen" there will be the "Festive Dance," a nocturnal number, movements of rhythm in the tavern once the nocturnal number before the second act. t New Center offering their services to this needed work.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1932. Why hasn't Congressman Oscar DePriest introduced a resolution calling for a thoro investigation of the "Massie" marine-murder spree in Hawaii, or demanded that the three American marine-lynch-murderers be dismissed from the Navy? President Herbert Hoover's Howard University commencement address was his usual limited dose of "soft-soap" given our people and not half as pleasing and satisfying as the music furnished the occasion by an instrumental ensemble directed by Prof. Louia Vaughn Jones of this city who is head of the violin department of Howard's conservatory of music. --- The strangle-hold control of Wilberforce University, held for nearly twenty years by former Bishop Joshua H. Jones, has been broken at last, something many had given up hope of ever seeing in this life. The deposing of the bishop by the recent General A. M. E. Conference and the election of Dr. Chas. H. Wesley of Howard University, Washington, D. C., to succeed the bishop's son, Prof. Gilbert Jones, as president of Wilberforce University, is as Bishop R. C. Ransom indicated, recently, in a talk to the board of trustees of the University, a much-needed advance-step in the history of our oldest university. THE TROUBLE WITHIN. The Chicago Defender of last week had a very good editorial on what it termed "the white Y. M. C. A." of this country. Now let it take up and discuss in equally a successful manner the "Negroes" in Chicago and other cities of the country who are insisting upon "jim-crow Y's" for their several communities. As a matter of fact, the "jim-crow Negro" is largely responsible for most of the segregation visited upon our people, today here in the North. In another editorial in the same paper, it asks this question: "Shall we leave the ship?"—meaning the Republican party. Where are you going, if you leave? We admit that many are "all dressed up and ready to go," but they have nowhere to go. Joining the Democratic party would be like "cutting off one's nose to spite his face" or "jumping from the frying pan into the fire," as explained in our last issue. The trouble is the Afro-American factor of the Republican party is not active in its own behalf, largely because it lacks proper organization, and therefore is practically ignored by the leaders of the party, from President Hoover down. Whining, finding fault and complaining have not helped, are not helping and will not help. Only well-directed organized effort in our own behalf will ever do so. When Ohio's Republican national committeeman, Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, made the fight at the Republican national convention in Chicago, last week and the first of this, for the admission of our southern delegates whose seats were being contested by "illy-white" Republicans (?) of their states, he showed the active, aggressive interest in our people that local Afro-American Republicans, and those throut Ohio, expected of him. His warning, too, that the votes of northern Afro-American Republicans would be needed, this fall, if President Hoover is to be re-elected, was not only timely but very effective. As Mr. Maschke intimated, we could not be expected to take kindly, a turn-down of our delegates from the south in favor of half-Democratic "illy-white Republicans," especially when this is done by Hoover forces in control of the Republican national committee and the convention. The President's position in the minds and hearts of our people throughout the country is none too good now, to say the least. He has given us absolutely nothing to enthuse over during the entire near-four years of his incumbency of office as chief executive of this great nation. He has not only pratically ignored us when it comes to appointments to office but also in about everything else of national concern, we regret to say. It is going to be a very difficult thing, indeed, for the average Afro-American voter to warm up to the Hoover candidacy for re-election to the presidency, this fall. Indeed, if it were not for the fact that southern Democracy, our greatest enemy, is "in the saddle" when a Democratic administration reigns supreme at the nation's capital, Candidate Hoover would receive many thousands of votes less than he will get in November, and the number given him then will not be near what it would be if his treatment of our people, during the last three years, had been better. WOODSON WRONG! When Jane Hunter found the Negro women of Cleveland excluded from the Y. W. C. A. there, she went to the Negroes themselves and established a Phillis Wheatley Association, a home for colored working girls; and the liberal whites came to her support. When, thereafter, the effort became a great success and some suggested that she come under the management of the jimcrowning Y. W. C. A., Jane Hunter replied that she would never do it. Some one offered her a few thousand dollars on the condition that she accept such dictation from those who were carrying out segregation in the name of God; but Jane Hunter, being the great woman that she is, told them where to go with that gift. And she succeeded as all earnest workers will succeed if they have enough to brown upon those who try to buy us. Prof. Carter G. Woodson —Prot. Carter G. Woodson. Someone has greatly misinformed Prof. Woodson. "Jane" Hunter, or Jennie Hunter as she was known at that time, did NOT "go to the Negroes" of Cleveland for the purpose stated, nor did she or they "establish a Phillis Wheatley Association, a home for colored working girls." As a matter of fact, Mrs. W. C. Schofield, a wealthy white resident of this city who, if memory serves us correctly, was at the head of the local Y. W. C. A. at the time, used Miss Hunter to promote the P. W. A. which was intended to become a branch of the local "Y," and did relieve it from a pressure to open it to our women of this community eligible to membership in the same, but who were being barred because of their color and race connection. "Liberal whites," under Mrs. Schofield's leadership and other wealthy whites, established the P. W. A. and have ever since controlled and supported it with what assistance, financial and otherwise, they could get from some of our people of this community. It was the insistence upon the part of others of our people of this community that prevented the P. W. A. from becoming, as originally intended, a branch of the local Y. W. C. A.—a black tail to a white kite"—in the face of the fact that Miss Hunter was sent to New York City by them to prepare to conduct such a branch. If Miss Hunter ever told them that "she would never told it" and if anyone ever "offered her a few thousand dollars" to do such a thing, and if "she told them where to go with that gift," we have never heard of it before. The Phillis Wheatley Association and home succeeded because the "liberal whites," referred to, controlled and supported it and continue to do so; and were and still are determined to "jim-crow" our women of this community out of the local Y. W. C. A. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! They were not trying to "buy us," but apparently succeeded in getting at least one "Negro" of this community to do their bidding Wins Honors Aplenty Flint, Mich.-Edward Strong, son of the late Rev. E. E. Strong, one of the honor-graduates at Northern High school here, is credited with being one of the state's finest debaters. During his senior year he was elected president of the National Forensic league, with 250 members, all "white" except him. The youngster is a member of the Social Science club, Sigma Lambda, senior board of the students' council, Philosophy club, won first prize, $25 in gold, in a U. S. history contest sponsored by the local D. A. R. His subject was "Washington, the Soldier." Our Spirituals. The music of my race is something more than what is called the "American Idiom." It is the result of our transplantation to this soil, and was our reaction in the plantation days to the tyranny we endured. What we could not say openly we expressed in music.

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: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob. must another county. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: 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 alike 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that it 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. My ear is palmed, 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 flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. AL Didn't DIN' YOU MAKE WE'RE WITH RGH GET OVER YOU BUM THE GLORY OF WOMAN LIES IN HER HAIR..

"Gorilla" Loses His "Crown." Paris, France. — “Gorilla” Jones of Akron, O. U. S. A., fouled himself out of the middleweight championship in the 11th round of a 15-round title match with Marcel Thil of France here, Saturday night. A crowd of 60,000, the largest that ever witnessed a boxing match in France, saw the Afro-Armenian Thil in a 11th round and suffer disqualification. Thil was apparently in the lead when the foul blows were struck. Through the first four rounds, Thil could make no impression on Jones' defense and seemed baffled by his opponent's long reach. But starting with the fifth, the Frenchman began to gain the upper hand, and then about the body. From the fifth on Thil forced the fighting and had Jones in serious difficulty in the ninth. The French titleholder seemed on his way to a clear victory on points when the 11th round opened. Before it had gone far, Jones sank one punch that the referee thought low and a moment later referee disqualified him and awarded the fight to Thil. The foregoing is so unlike "Gorilla," we await further details of the fight. Owens Breaks Some More Records. Over 100 of the flashest men and women track stars of this section of the country qualified, last Saturday, at Lakewood for the international Olympic games. Jesse Owens, of Cleveland's E. Tech, started the thirteenth event card off by whipping an all-star field in the 100-meter dash in 10.3 seconds, which is one-tenth of a second faster than the world record set by the "fastest human." Charley Paddock, in 1921. However, due to an ad-agantous attack, a his back, the international A. A. U. will not recognize the Scarab comet's mark. His time was also three-tenths of a sec ond faster than the Olympic record. In winning, Owens had to beat a strong collegiate field. Norm Lambacher of Ohio Wesleyan was second and Creed Ward of Reserve was third. London Gant, our lad from Sandusky, O., who holds the national high school javelin championship, found the competition too tough in his favorite event, and had to be content with the runnerup position to "Chuck" Stone of Ohio Wesleyan, who holds the state record of 200 feet 6 inches, established in 1927. Stone hurled the pointed stick a distance of 183 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Gant's throw was 176 feet 8 inches. Metcalfe Will Make Olympic Team Metcalfe Will Make Olympic Team Staggy Field, Chicago, Ill.—Ralph Metcalfe, age 22, another of our lads, but from Marquette University, is sure to be a member of this country's Olympic team, this year. That is the concensus of opinion. Last Saturday here, in two amazing races, he eclipsed three world records for the world's record (made by our Eddie Tolan of the "U" of Michigan) of 9:5 seconds in winning the 100-yard dash and continued on to eclipse the world's record for the 100 meters. His time for the Olympic event, the 100 meters, was 10.2, two-tenths of a second better than the mark established by Charles Paddock in 1921. Metcalfe won by a yard from Donald Bennett (white) of Ohio State. Then he came in second for the 220-yard dash, stealing it for in 20.5 seconds to beat another of our lads, James Johnson of Illinois State Central. Metcalfe was timed at metric distances for Olympic competition. The watches showed him knocking off 200 meters in 20.2 seconds, three-tenths of a second better than the existing world mark held by Roland Locke of Nebraska. The winners of last Saturday's events and those in third place will be chosen to compete in the final trials for America's Olympic team, July 15-16 at Palo Alto, Cal. Duke and His "Indigo."

The Removal of the Jones Regime (Father and Son) the Best Thing for the University That Could Possibly Have Happened at This Time. Xenia, Ohio.—Prof Gilbert Jones was forced to resign the presidency of Wilberforce University, last week, because of pressure exerted by Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, the new head of this, the Third Episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church, who because of this fact automatically became president of the trustees of this University, succeeding Bishop W. H. Heard who has been returned to the first district (N. Y.) after four years' presiding over this district. Bishop Ransom, who presided over a southern district of the Church before coming to this district, in a statement to the board said: "There is general dissatisfaction with the institution (Wilberforce University). Everywhere over the state, I hear the same complaints. No one makes specific complaints against Dr. Jones, but if we are not to have a new day and a new proclamation, we may as well throw up the sponge." The bishop had just come from Columbus, where he conferred with the State Board of Control as well as with officials of the State Department of Education which fixes and supervises the educational program of the Combined Normal and Industrial department of the University upon the state supports and is supposed to be helpful (financially) to the rest of the University. The retiring president, Dr. Jones said: "I do not want to stay in office on the basis of favor or special consideration if the service which I have rendered during the past eight years does not entitle me to it. I feel from the bottom of my heart, if I understand the address of Bishop Ransom here today, to ask for a "or but to resign the presidency of Wilberforce University. Prof. Chas. H. Wesley of Howard University, Washington, D. C., will succeed him. Prof. Jones is the son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, who was given a four-year suspension at the quadrennial general conference of the A. M. E. Church which met in Cleveland, last month. He succeeded his father as president of the U.S. church, but he chance to progress, said the Jones load" has been removed from its shoulders," say many hereabouts, Bishop Ransom sure is entitled to great praise for the change.

Chicago, Ill.—The Republican National Convention credentials committee voted, 34 to 14, Tuesday night, to seat the Hoover administration-recognized, "Hily white" delegation from South Carolina headed by J. C. Hambright, organizer of the "new Republican party" in his state. The vote reversed the action of the national nation on the delegation, which apparently seated the delegation led by the veteran "Tieless Joe" Tolbert. The administration's successful fight to deny seats to the Tolbert group was led by Walter H. Newton, a secretary to President Hoover and a member of the credentials committee; Robert Taft of Ohio, son of the late chief justice and President, and Charles W. H. Sander, secretary to Senator George A. Fearon of New York, Mrs. Marion M. Scranton of Pennsylvania and Walter I. Sundlin of Rhode Island argued for the Tolbert delegation. Fearon contended that Hambright had been eligible to vote for many years, but that he had never voted for a Republican candidate, including Mr. Hoover. Sandlin contended that they would offend Negro voters all over the north if the Republicans persist in throwing out colored delegates and recognizing only "Hily white" factions. Tolbert, senior member of the national committee in the point of service, said after the hot intra-party battle that wiped for more than three hours the national committee that backed him up last week to aid him in a floor fight but failed in the effort. "The national committee got a slap in the face just like I did," the towering "titless Joe" remarked. A white-dominated delegation, also backed by the Hoover administration, from the committee to fight for a reversal of last week's national committee decision seating a group led by Perry Howard, veteran and our only national committeeman. The credentials committee sustained the national committee in seating the administration - recognition from Georgia headed by Jerry W. Arrow - national committeeman, Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, our only national committeewoman and member of the opposing faction, pleaded for recognition, claiming inadequate "Negro" representation on the Arnold delegation. She added that Postmaster General Brown had hold her he was a friend of the "Negroes," but that the Republican army had held up an organization in Georgia as long as she remained committeewoman. "I plead that you make this convention 100 per cent. American," Mrs. Williams implored in a speech that went overtime. The committee also sustained the national committee in seating two groups of "illy-white" delegates from Tennessee. The controversy in that district was between Representative O. B. Lovette and former Representative B. Carroll Reece. Another Hoover administration visit as the national committee was sustained by the seating of the "illy-white" Louisiana delegation headed by Ernest Lee Jahncke, assistant secretary of the navy, and John E. Jackson, Republican state chairman.

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) - WNU Service. ICILY goes back to work as the summit of Mt. Etna, famous landmark of the Mediterranean island, resumes its peaceful, eternal steaming. Recent rumblings and explosions within the mountain have preceded devastating lava flows in the past. The present "threat" recalls the eruption of the huge volcano in 1928 when a lava stream, flowing like a 2,500-foot ribbon from one of its craters, flooded the eastern slope, one of the island's most fertile regions. Orchards, vineyards and forests were destroyed; also the villages and towns that thrived on their products. More than a quarter million people live on the slopes of Mount Etna. The eastern slope is the most thickly populated with one town almost adjoining another. Almost every foot of ground not used for dwellings is cultivated, yielding abundant crops. Etna has terrorized this district many times before. Whether the traveler goes by train or automobile down the east coast of Sicily, he passes flow after flow of lava. Some of them are centuries old; others more recently deposited from some of the two hundred craters that pepper the side of the cone-shaped mountain. The town of Acireale perches on a 300-foot cliff formed of seven distinct layers of lava. Within the Christian era, Mount Etna has boiled over its crater rims more than a hundred times. It has wiped out cities, towns and villages and spelled doom to thousands of homes. Almost daily Mount Etna rumbles, and its summit constantly emits steam, but it takes more than these "suggestions" of action even to arouse the Sicilian's curiosity. The homes of their ancestors are sandwiched between two of the lava flows, and many of the present generation, like those of Mascall and Nunziata, chief sufferers of the last decade, have watched their homes sink beneath a new molten bed. Catania, Birthplace of Bellini. Catania, lying at the foot of the mountain, has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. Catanians know Mount Eta so well that the famous volcano has to spit fire and boil over its rim before they seek shelter. To the Catanian who loves his modern city, Eta has been a benefactor. To the traveler in search of antiquities it has been a despoller, for ancient Catania of Greek, Roman, Saracen and Norman days is buried, save for a Greek theater, a Roman amphitheater, some baths and a few unimportant monuments. Catania is more interested in its wide thoroughfares, public squares and parks, and in honoring her illustrious sons than in digging up ancient relics of a restless past. Bellini the composer was born there in 1802, and Catanians are not allowed to forget it. A statue of the composer adorns villa Bellini, one of the city's finest parks where on summer evenings one can sit and listen to Italian melodies played by a fine Sicilian band. The vine-clad slopes and the white head of Mount Etna form a magnificent background. Another statue of the composer adorns the Piazza Steicoro through which runs the Via Etaeus, Catania's main street from the southern part of the city to the foot of the great mountain. A third statue stands among those of kings and great Italian and Sicilian patriots in the cathedral. There is also a Bellini theater, once the finest in Italy, and the Catania guides point with pride to the tablet which marks the house in which the composer was born. The cathedral, and a lava elephant atop a tall marble base at its front door, are two of the most popular monuments of early Catania. The elephant's origin is unknown but the cathedral is credited to the prosperous reign of the Norman King Roger. Built in 1901, it was badly damaged by successive earthquakes and eruptions of Mount Etae, but each time it has been restored and used. Agatha, the Patron Saint. More honored than even the kings' monuments in the cathedral is that of St. Agatha, Catania's patron saint. The head of her statue is said to contain the head of the saint who in defense of her virtue was tortured by a Roman praetor in the Third century. Amara her relics is a veil which is said to have miraculously diverted a lava stream that menaced Catania in 1609. Once a year, in February, Catania turns out en masse to honor her. The statue mounted on two long poles, is borne through the streets from church to church by white-robed men. The route of the procession is jammed to suffocation, old balconies groan under the weight of humanity and every roof has its quota of spectators. At night there are torchlight processions which brilliantly light up the city, and in nearly every window a candle or two throws feeble beams. The yelling and whistling and confusion of the day continue, augmented by the booming of colorful fireworks, the toll of church bells and the occasional roar of a cannon. The St. Agatha celebration is only once a year. Before and after, Catania is busy with its commerce and industry. The harbor is filled with commercial craft whose flags add a colorful touch to the view from the Flora della Marina, a narrow but beautiful parkway near the water's edge. Catania is not only the second largest city in Sicily but one of the island's chief gates of export through which some 600,000 tons of merchandise pass annually. Sulphur, fruit and wine have made fortunes for Catanians, and these and other industries keep many of the city's 271,000 inhabitants employed. Attractive to Travelers. Interest in Mount Etna's moods is not entirely confined to the volcano's immediate neighborhood. All Sicily feels the death-dealing blows of lava flows as much as all America feels the lash of a hurricane sweeping Florida. Normally, however, Sicily is an island garden spot which nature has endowed with a warm sunny climate and all the charm that might go with it. Its wild mountain scenery, ancient history, and picturesque inhabitants make it a mecca of European winter tourists. Travel in the interior was formerly considered unsafe because of brigandage. Such conditions, however, have long since been eliminated. Now the visitor is safe, and in addition to native inns, comfortable pensions are conducted by French, German and English landlords of many years' residence in the country. Provincial towns of Sicily are famous for their situation, high up on picturesque hillsides or on rocky promontories jutting into the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Many of these towns are built on Greek foundations and contain ruins of Roman, Saracen, and Norman origin. A few Greek temples and theaters are practically intact. Natives Are a Cheerful Lot. Racial types among the peasantry vary from classic Greek and swarthy Arab to blond Norman and haughty Spanish. In spite of his mixed ancestry, however, the Sicilian of today is distinctly a Latin product in matters of disposition, culture and religion. Travelers unite in testifying to his cheerfulness, quickness of perception, and hospitality. Stable government and education are said to be doing much to stamp out superstition and secret vengeance and terrorism. This movement for better conditions is exemplified by wholesale prosecutions against outlaw gangs now taking place at the old Roman bathing resort of Termini Imerese. In Roman times the Island of Sicily was called the granary of Italy, and, while no longer specializing in wheat it is one of Europe's mainstays in the production of citrus fruits. Only California rivals Sicily as a grower of lemons. A part of the lemon crop is marketed in the form of citrate of time and lemon extract. For thousands of years this football at the toe of Italy has been the melting pot of many races. Its early inhabitants, the Silkels, who gave the island its name, were conquered by Greeks, whose great cities such as Syracuse dominated the land for five hundred years. Next came the rising power of Rome, during whose heyday Sicily was given over to the plunder of successive governors. Roman oppression grew so cruel that gangs of plantation slaves twice rose in revolution. Succeeding centuries saw Saracen conquests, Norman kingdoms, and Bourbon misrule. Finally, freed by Garibaldi, Sicily became a part of the kingdom of Italy. During the last half century industrial conditions and political relations have not always been to the liking of the Sicilians, so that the island has been called the "Ireland of the South." Many thousand sons of the racial melting pot emigrated to America, some districts being stripped bare of men of working age. One town whose present population is 25,000, has sent 15,000 emigrants to the new country. THE GAETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1932 A WHEN is a scarf a scarf? It is to guess, for those dashing, flashing printed squares catalogued as the kerchief scarf are playing so many character roles on the stage of fashion, they are losing their identity entirely in the old-style sense of the word. The idea that a scarf is merely a utilitarian device to be tied about the throat for protection having become obsolete, it is given to the present generation to witness the modern scarf venturing into unexpected realms of make-believe such as, for instance, emoufagging as a smart waistcoat or vestet to be worn with a trim and trig jacket suit as shown centered in the picture on the standing figure. It is the simplest thing in the world to arrange a gay square of silk, linen or cotton print in this manner. No sewing, no scanning, no paper pattern or chart required, just a big bandanna folded once across the bias and tied at the neck by bringing two of the points up around the throat as you see in the picture and knotting them at the back, the other two tieing below at the waistline. The smart new Irish linen square, which forms the blouse shown, is printed in red and blue stripes, for fashion is going strong for "the red, white and blue" this season. The good-looking black kid oxford with sandal cutouts, as worn by the young woman posing, bespeak the correct shoe for this type of costume. Oftimes a printed bandanna or kerchief grows so ambitious in its performances as to do double duty in that half of it (cut across through the bias fold) forms a deep pointed yoke or bodice which is stitched into the very dress itself at the back, the points brought to the front so as to form OF POPULAR MESH By CBERIE NICHOLAS Peggy Here's one of those frocks which no woman who gets about this world in warmish weather can afford to be without. Made in several shades of either maize, blue, orange red, pale green or brown this dress will suit a number of different complexions. Choose your own color accents in the buttons and belt. Paris is putting blue and brown together or else yellow and blue. Patou puts midnight blue with his new sevres blue. The fabric itself is a delightful durene diagonal mesh, sturdy, perfectly washable and altogether about the most practical sort one may ever hope to come across. Tailors smartly, too, which means a lot in these days when the swankiest clothes are of the simpler sports type. The hat worn is quite the newest in the way of brims, being tiny on one side and much wider on the other. capelet or cap sleeves as you please call them. The costume to the right shows just how. As you see, the other half of the printed square is tied around the hips in picturesque gypsy-girl fashion, forming somewhat of an overskirt silhouette. A very popular arrangement, since it accents the lines of a good figure. The scarf dress pictured is bright red with a bizarre white floral patterning. It is on the beach, however, that the triangle scars are seen in their most daring and original moods. The pajama outfit on the seated figure tells the story of the latest escapade of the kerchief scarf. This fashion scores one for the sun-bather, who is seeking health and a good brown tan via the rays of the sun. You can buy these triangular-scarf blousettes in any sports or neckwear department, or it is an easy matter to make one. The only requisite is a three-cornered piece of printed or plain fabric. A yard of regular material makes two. Slit the triangle of silk, Hen or cotton, down at the center point to a depth of ten or more inches (see diagram sketch). Finish with narrow hem all around. Then take four shallow darts, as per dotted lines, and presto! the blousette is ready to wear. Tie it after the manner of the one worn by the pajama-clad figure pictured. The coloring is equally attractive when reversal, that is the kerchief blousette may be a spectacular print in contrast to solid colored pajamas. Another trick in the wearing of the scarf on the beach by ardent sun-worshipers, one which does away with knotting the two ends at the nape of the neck, is to pin or sew the center point of the triangle to one's necklace at the front SMARTEST SPORTS SUITS ARE WHITE The sports suit this season is smart er when it is white, or some light neutral color like beige or gray. Chanel made pale beige wool suits for Biarritz last fall, and jazzed them up to a sportive air with vivid striped jersey blouses. They made a great success, and the spring sports suit is their logical descendant, for it has a blouse or sweater that is usually extremely bright or dark and rich in color. The white sports suit, made of either wool or cotton, is much more fashionable if it has a blouse or sweater of sapphire blue, orange, or bright red. Some women like emerald green blouses with their white sports suits, but this color is less frequently seen than are the first named shades. Spring Suits Seen in Woolen materials for spring skirts and suits are flatter than last year, some of them loosely woven, hairy and almost transparent, many with wide-wale effect, woven or knitted, many in basket weave. Other woolen, are of the novelty jersey order; still others hark back to old hard-finished friends, the reps, twills and serges. Style experts of the Country Home note that the new skirts all have a certain ease and wearability. They fit snugly around the hips, but they don't curve in along the back in that disconcerting fashion so embarrassing to those not as flat as ironing boards. Some have released tucks or pleats that contribute to a good round hemline. But, however they manage their inches, none are tight, exaggeratedly full or difficult to keep pressed. Coiffures This Spring Flat; Curls Are Taboo Good hairdressing goes flat this spring. Even curls are slapped flatly. The funny little sausage roll has passed entirely out of the fashionable portraits of those who know what is new and proper for fashionable coiffures. "Rocco" is a very pretty raccoon of the natural-science room at Moreland school, Shaker Heights, adjacent to this city, that built up such a fine reputation that ladies (white) would kiss him. A lady science-teacher there was perhaps fondest friend of the class, and she often kissed by white ladies that he got use to it, and, we preume, rather liked it. Dorothy Mackail, the well-known film actress and star, who often visited in the Hawaiian Islands, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Hollywood and San Francisco, some months ago said that society women of this country, white of course, "had many affairs with the Hawaiian beach boys," many of whom are fine-looking men. This undoubtedly resulted from too close contact, she said, the beach boys covering them with oil while they were stretched out on the beach in the sun, attired only in their very brief bathing suits, courting a rich tan all love to exhibit on their return home from their outing in the Hawaiian beach. This oil-coating, extended to various parts of their anatomy, and was often done during "the twilight of eve," and possibly later. This sort of thing undoubtedly contributed largely to the now notorious Massie-Kahahaai manslaughter case, as that handsome native, it is now disclosed, was Mrs. Massie's swimming teacher if not her beach boy. The Hawaiians are as a rule fine looking brown-skins; not raccoons, of course. It would not be near as difficult for American society ladies in Hawaii, or even in this country, to kiss a Hawaiian or Afro-American brown-skin (or one with a lighter complexion; and we have all grades from white to black) as it would be to kiss "Rocco", the raconte referred to earlier in this article and not merely because "Rocco" represents the lower order of animals while the American society ladies (white), like the rest of us, represent the higher order of animals. This fact undoubtedly accounts for the large number of society ladies, and others (white), of the south and north of this country who are not only willing but do habitually kiss racecoons, pet monkeys and bears of the lower portions of animals as well as large numbers of brown-skins and others (of different shades of complexion) of the higher order of animals. There are thousands of cases of this kind in every large city of the country, particularly here in the North, and the large number steadily increases in spite of prejudice and all other barriers. America is surely a great melting pot far as colors and races are concerned. VERY BAD ADVICE In an editorial on the "Failures of Hoover," from a race standpoint, The Chicago Defender says: "It is up to the far-seeing and intelligent black man to go into other parties and fight against the influences which are prejudicial to his best interests." There is no other party, except the Democratic party, for him to go into that has any chance to gain governmental control of this country, and it is like jumping from "the frying pan into the fire" for the black man to go into that party. Indeed, it is akin to committing politicization, the organization, controlled by counsel, is the bitterest enemy of the race. Whatever we do to help solve our vital political problems, while political parties remain as they are, as far as we are concerned, must be done as Republicans, and like the father who punishes the son for misconduct. He does not forsake his home, to do so. Dividing our land (and trying to impotent parties (other than the Democratic party) will weaken us, and going into that party is, as we have already said, political suicide, pure and simple. It is our bitterest enemy and everyone knows it. We can hope for nothing from it when in control of the government. That was our experience in the past. Sane Afro-Americans cannot vote for Democratic presidential electors and members of The Congress. We must be willing to force our Republican leadership to treat the people fairly because they are a very potent factor of the party. Counseling Afro-American voters to go into "other parties" is a very serious mistake, to say the least. "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 and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It 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 to resist 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 persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

Query Which Stumped George Rector Can Now Be Answered, Judge Gordon Reports After Research Work By JUDGE GORDON Radio Kood News Expert GEORGE Rector and I conducted a cooking school out west, and after the session was over, housewives asked us all sorts of questions. Mr. Rector and I could answer most of them, but one stumped us. I can answer the question now as I have done some research work on it. "When is a plum not a prune?" was the question. All prunes are plums, but all plums are not prunes. The prune is "a plum which can be dried without the removal of the pelt without fermentation the result being a dip with a high degree of sweetness." Plums which will not do this are not prunes. No longer is the prune a lowly boarding house dessert Imagine- ? ? tive cooks have made it the most popular dessert. Last year in California and Oregon, the prune centers of the United States, approximately 410,000,000 pounds of prunes were produced. The prune is America's most economical luxury, as well as being exceedingly healthful. It is rich in vitamins A and B, and in iron, calcium and phosphorous—even the plebian stewed prune is rich in these health-giving elements. Of course, some imagination is necessary to make a tempting side dish or dessert but the result can be truly delightful. I like prune whip, and I like spiced prunes as a relish.
