Wonderful THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since BANEFUL SEGREGATION! THE N. A. A. C. P. OPPOSING A "JIM-CROW" HOSPITAL IN THE NORTH FOR OUR WAR VETERANS. Segregation Is Un-Christian, Always Harmful, a Most Unwise Public Policy and a Distressing Form of Oppression. Washington, D. C.—I oppose segregation because it is unchristian. I cannot think that Christ would countenance the efforts of the churches which segregate people and even shut the doors in their faces on account of color. I cannot think that there is any of the spirit of Jesus in the Y. M. C. A. or the Y. W. C. A. which will accept the Christ or while living away Negro women or in the presence of character and culture. I have no respect for those Negroes who, knowing these things, serve these organizations as hirelings to befuddle the Negro public which has not had the chance to be enlightened. I am opposed to segregation because, looking back over the last sixty years, I do not find the beneficent results which the prophets of segregation predicted. They said that if the Negroes would go off to themselves and there they would solve their perplexing problems. The system, therefore, has extended from the Negro public to the Negroes today find themselves hedged in by the color bar almost every way they turn; and, set off by themselves, the Negroes cannot learn from the examples of others with whom they might come into contact. In the ghetto, too, they are not permitted to construct and carry out a program of their own. These segregating institutions, moreover, interfere with the development of self-help among Negroes, for often we fail to raise money to establish institutions which we might control, but we readily contribute large sums for institutions and institutions of blood. Here in Washington, the capital of the nation, we raise thousands and thousands of dollars every year to assist the whites in segregating us. I am opposed to segregation, too, because it is an unwise public policy. Moreover, it is a form of oppression which, in the long run, according to history, works more injury to the oppressor than to the oppressed. To have the segregated kicked around there must be some person cruel enough to do the kicking, and this very act brutalizes the doer and debases him below the persons whom the Greeks used to use. We see that the Greeks used to make their best contributions until they began to break down social barriers. The Romans likewise saw the necessity for more equality of the classes and masses. Modern nations finally realized that they were handicapping themselves by forcing the Jews into the ghetto, and some of us may live unto the day when the majority of the people of this country will see the folly of segregating Negroes. (Prof.) C. G. Woodson. As to "Jim-Crow" Hospitals Score another victory for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the cause of common sense. Some time ago a movement was inaugurated by the National Medical Association to have the government of the United States erect a veterans' hospital for Negro veterans and commit the administration of it to Negro physicians. It is proposed to have the hospital erected in the Park as a sort of twin institution to the Park as a now under operation near Tuskegee and argument of the Negro physicians in favor of such a "jim-crow" institution is the possibility it will offer them to become proficient in the medical profession. We might add that not a little impetus is offered by the possibility of a healthy payroll. We have read the discussion of the subject as carried on between Dr. Peter Murray of the National Medical Association and Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. The attitude Dr. Murray is inconsistent, and the reason offered to him in his attempt to justify the hardiness to the core is no need of having Negroes "jim-crow" any further by the government of the United States. Dr. Murray attempts to talk about Jewish hospitals and Italian hospitals. But Dr. Murray knows, or he ought to know, that our Jewish hospitals are erected by Jews out of their own pockets and our Italian hospitals are erected by Italians out of their own pockets. Dr. Murray ought to know that if the government of the United States offered to build a hospital for the Jews or the Italians, they would re-define and refuse to accept it. Dr. Murray is for inter-racial contacts is childish. Inter-racial contacts contemplated are in existence today, and there is absolutely no necessity for a "jim-crow" hospital to create opportunities which already exist. Walter White, in our opinion, sets forth the conclusion of every well-thinking Negro in this country in his open letter to Dr. Murray. The National Association can well afford to oppose the idea, not only in justifi- cation of its attitude against segregation and "jim-crowism," but as a matter of public policy and high principle. We go one step further and suggest to the Negro physicians of this country that they stop asking people to give them a hospital. There are enough Negro doctors in this country to accumulate, within twenty-four hours, one million dollars, without hurting the purse strings of our black physicians. No, they will not build a hospital, but they prefer to eg somebody to give them a hospital. We hope that day never comes. We hope that the Negroes in this country will impress upon the Negro physicians of this country that they owe to the black patients of the United States some emblance of return, but a feeble expression of appreciation for the part of physicians who have accumulated thousands and thousands of dollars from the bedsidees of race- loving Negro patients. As the Jews build for themselves, so let Negroes build for themselves, and let us forever disdain the thought of asking somebody to give us what we need, when we, ourselves, have sufficient funds to supply that need. We think the N. A. A. C. P. is absolutely correct in its refusal to espouse the cause of a "jim-crow" veterans' hospital—Pittsburgh Courts. PREPARE YE TO LIVE! Our Ministers Urged to Preach That Instead of "Prepare Ye to Die" All the Time. Jas. A. Jackson of the U. S. department of Commerce, Washington, D. C., said among other things in his speech at the meeting at St. John's A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon: "There are 93 articles of commerce manufactured by Afro-Americans and 354 different lines of retailing, showing that they are in business; 4,100 Afro-American sales-people in 345 businesses of the other groups in 47 cities." He urged ministers to not only preach "prepare ye to die", but also to preach to their congregations on how to live better, if for no other reason than that they will then die in better condition. P. W. Lemon and J. E. Sumerville were other speakers while J. C. Hudson presided. Mr. Jackson spoke again, Sunday evening, at St. James A. M. E. church, J. F. Morning presiding. Rev. W. H. Peck of Detroit was the other speaker at this meeting. Jackson Insulted! New York City—In a letter to our National Business League for its 33rd annual meeting here, last week, Dr. Julius Klein, U. S. assistant secretary of commerce, referred to other men in the department as "Dr." and "Mr.", but he did not give this courtesy to J. A. Jackson, chief of the Small Business Section of the Market Service Division, who Klein said in his letter would be present at the meeting and speak. Klein called Jackson's name twice in the letter, "Jane A. Jackson," "our Jackson," and the second time saying "Jackson's work." But in referring to men (white) of the department he said, "Dr. Frank Surface" and "Mr. Edward Gerish." FIRST CONVICTION In the South Point Lynch-Murder Which a Southern "Cracker" Led, is a 16-Year Old Youth. (Special to The Gazette) Ironton, O.—Louis McKee, age 16, accused with six men, led by a southern "cracker," of having helped to take Luke Murray, age 24, Atlanta Afro-American chauffeur, from the South Point jail, near here, the night of June 7, and lynch-murdering him, was convicted of delinquency, in Probate Judge Helen Clarke's court, Tuesday, and was sentenced to an indeterminate term (one to ten years) in the Lansing state industrial body; Murray's badly battered body was recovered Ohio river, June 10. First-degree-murder charges have been filed against the six men whom the state charges killed Murray and threw his body in the Ohio river. Murray had been jailed following a fight with a white brute.

The Rounder has been trying to figure out how Eugene Cheeks, who says he is a Democrat and a candidate for Congress, expects to get any votes. Ninety-nine per cent of the Afro-American vote in his district are Republicans, and the white Democrats there will vote for their organization candidate. Where does Cheeks' candidacy come in? In the face of the fact, that the Cleveland Baseball Co. has always and continues to draw a color-line on our ball-players, steadfastly refusing to employ even one of them as they did in the case of the Jews, Councilmen Payne and Bundy voted, last week, for that company's notorious lease of the Cleveland stadium. Well, well, well!! Councilman George voted against it, whether for that reason or others, whether it was harmed. Wonder if there is any insult to the race miserable enough to make Bundy and Payne resent it in the City Council? Four witnesses (white); of the Burns lad's heart-rending drowning off Gordon park, last week Wednesday, said a life-guard, who sat on a break-wall hardly 100 yards from the drowning boy, replied when his attention was called to the distressing spectacle: "Oh, they're just fooling around." Milton Toy, age 19, and another woman trying to save Burns. The witnesses tried to save names, it is said, but did say that they did not know the life-guard. Burns lost his life not twenty yards from the old pier and 100 yards from shore. Hundreds of Gordon SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS park bathers heard Toy's screams for help while several thousand persons thronged the beach. By all means let us have an official investigation of the Burns' drowning; tell "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George), and David H.

A precinct committeeman of Ward 17, who was in attendance upon his ward-committeemen's meeting, held in the club headquarters, in the basement of Hotel Majestic, the Sunday preceding the recent election, told The Rounder, last week, that Mr. Maurice Maschke who attended the accompaniment by other political friends of the other group, sent five different times for Councilman Bundy to come to the meeting but in vain. Bundy was in his living rooms in the same hotel, it is said. Maschke thereupon gave the workers' money (a check) to Cliff Bundy, Doc's brother, and told all present that he would hold Cliff personally responsible for the proper distribution of the amount, part of which was to given to each prefect-committeeman (or he) for legitimate campon expenses on election day. What do you think of that and why didn't Bundy attend that meeting, especially when sent for five different times? Cleveland, Ohio, June 29, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Mr. Smith:—I certainly would miss The Gazette if for any reason I failed to receive it. For therein I find a concise assimilation of news of the race—not exaggerated "fairy tales." Too, the advertisers that use your paper all seem to be highly responsible and reliable in every respect. Never as yet have I found mismrepresented. Know that means nothing. I may as well know since we are on the subject that good advertising is good news; so your May Co. listing of bargains, last week, was good news to me as for some reason I had not noticed those bargains elsewhere.

JOHN BROWN KIN Honor the Memory of the Greatest Abolitionist.—Senator Green's Oration.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1932. Rev. Wm. H. Peck of Detroit, in Cleveland the first of the week, said that our people in that city have thirty-eight chain-grocery stores, and are buying many articles directly from our farmers in the South as well as from those in Michigan. --- Edward Young Clark of Atlanta, Ga., the original organizer of the malicious Ku Klux Klan, was ruled insane in Chicago, last week Wednesday, by County Judge A. J. Van Keuren and committed to the Psychopathic hospital. Clarke and Col. Simmons, also of Atlanta, the head of the miserable organization, amassed considerable wealth in its early days from their connection with it. Clarke was really a wonderful organizer. --- Last week Monday, Welfare Director Bernice Pyke notified the Civil Service Commission that she had appointed Dr. R. L. Cox (white), 1462 Crawford Rd., to fill the position of Dr. L. L. Rodgers, former district physician, recently discharged by Mayor Ray T. Miller because of his threatened expose of political graft conditions existing in the 12th Ward of which he still is ward leader. Wonder what "Doc" is going to get now for not going thru with his threatened expose, and to replace the job he has just lost? BOOKER STARTED IT. Someone should also tell Prof. Carter G. Woodson that Booker T. Washington started the American advocacy of segregation in his notorious Atlanta, Ga. speech of many years ago when he said that "Negroes and whites could live in this country separate as the fingers of the hand. Right then and there the segregation ball was started rolling in the United States and it has been rolling faster and faster, each year, ever since until now we have even "jim-crow Negroes" advocating it. Lord! have mercy. "JIM-CROW" HOSPITALS. We suggest to those few "Negro" doctors in Cleveland, who again are vainly striving for a "jim-crow" hospital here, a careful reading of the editorial from the Pittsburgh Courier, published elsewhere in this paper. The Gazette has published so often in the past, the facts it contains against such segregation here in Cleveland, that it is a positive relief to be able to quote from one of our other race publications. Then, too, the editorial in question also gives information of national importance which all of our people in Cleveland and Ohio should be familiar with just at this time. The only thought, to be added to those expressed in The Courier's editorial, is the fact that undoubtedly Dr. Peter Murray of our National Medical Association is being encouraged in his "jim-crow" hospital effort by prejudiced white officials at the nation's capital and possibly elsewhere in the country. WAS IT NEAR MURDER? Here is a case that needs to be looked into by the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, alided and abetted by "The Blossom Triplets," the three "Negro" councilmen. To The Gazette it looks to be decidedly the worst case of the kind ever to happen on the lakeshore of Cleveland. While hundreds of bathers watched helplessly, late last week Wednesday, at Gordon Park beach, Rudolph Burns, age 18, of 2178 E. 80th St., drowned about 100 feet off the breakwater, despite efforts of a companion to rescue him. Lifeguards at the beach said Burns evidently became tired while swimming and was unable to make the shore before he sank. Hearing Burns' cries for help, Milton Toy, age 19, of 2221 E. 33rd St., a friend, swam to his assistance and was able to bring him to the surface. Where were the lifeguards? However, Toy was unable to hang on to the drowning youth, who sank again. The body was recovered by fire and police rescue squads, members of which worked on Burns more than a half-hour, but could not revive him. If the life-guards at the beach heard young Burns' cries for help and did not go to his assistance, why didn't they? If hundreds of bathers at the beach could "watch helplessly" while the lad struggled in an effort to keep from drowning, how is it that none of the life-guards witnessed the distressing scene? By all means let us have a careful investigation upon the part of the proper city authorities. Too much praise and credit cannot be given Milton Toy, the victim's friend, who went to his assistance, brot him to the surface but alone was unable to bring young Burns to the shore. Where, O! where were the life-guards all this time? At least, this can be ascertained thru the medium of an official investigation which the local N. A. A. C. P. branch and "The Blossom Triplets" should have started immediately. Amos Another Winner. Evanston, Ill.—Last Saturday, another one of our boys went to the front when Amos Abrams of Gary, Ind., won the 400-meter hurdle trials from F. Morgan Taylor, winner of the event in the 1924 Olympic games and runner-up to David Lord Burghley of Great Britain in 1928 in the fair time of 54.9 seconds. Prime Sport News Prime Sport News Ralph Metcalfe a "Hustler." Madison, Wis.—Ralph Metcalfe, ace spinner from Marquette university who has ruthlessly broken the best intercollegiate records in recent contests and is re承认 the prestigious American candidate to win in the Olympics, has taken a temporary job to replace Sam Pierce, 72-year-old messenger to Gov Philip F. La Follette. Metcalfe expects to use his $115 monthly earnings to help finance his trip to the Olympics. He's a hustler. CARLTON EDDIE TOLAN Eddie Tolan, mighty little Michigander, rated by many as the greatest 220-yard runner in America, will have to beat Ralph Metcalfe, the marvel of Marquette U., before the U. S. Olympic team selectors. Tolan defeated Metcalfe, last summer, in the 220-yard event, but many don't believe that he can do it again. Their time records are similar. Much difference of opinion exists as to which of the pair is the faster, but it is quite evident that one of this duo, or possibly both, will represent America in the U. S.Olympics furlong championship event. Chocolate Floors Farr Three Times. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Kid Chocolate world junior-lightweight champion, outpointed Johnny Farr (white) of Cleveland in ten rounds, last week Wednesday night. The Afro-Cuban scored three knock-downs in the second, fifth and eighth but it was a warrior in the ovation when he climbed from the ring. The Kid is black; the "customers" were gray, as Clarence Darrow would say. That explains Johnny's "ovation." The bout was fast with frequent flurries of toe-to-toe slugging. Chocolate weighed 131, Farr 134. Liberato Bukhari 134, decision over Tiger Walker, 133, Zanesville (O. "Afro" pug in another ten-rounder. The vote was split.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Honor Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been 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. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

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 letter to the president of the doctor 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, deserves 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 fifty dollars imprisoned not less than thirty days or more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the 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.

Dayton, O. — Because an enfeebled mother wishes it, part of the structure around the corner stone of a nearly completed new high school here will be torn away. A book of poems and her photograph will be placed in the corner stone. The mother is Matilda Dunbur Murphy, mother of Paul Lawrence Dunbur, noted poet, for whom the school is named. With her prized book of his poems and her photograph, Mrs. Dunbur went to the superintendent and made her request, Monday. Before she left, assured that her wish would be fulfilled, Mrs. Dunbur Murphy, was taken in an automobile around a block, nearly covered by the school, to see what partial blindness kept her from seeing plainly.

In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashabh in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

Natal fishermen, aboard huge floating abbatoires, divide shark carcases into twenty valuable commodities. Natal, however, is not as famous for its industries as for its natural beauty. It has been called the Garden Province of South Africa. Whether one approaches the province by way of mountain, plain or sea, it is a vast region of perpetual green, fringed on the east by broad sandy beaches of the Indian ocean. In Natal the traveler might often wonder whether he is in Africa or India, for here appear brown, barefoot women, vividly draped, with golden anklets and jeweled nose ornaments, in the shadow of little white temples enfrized with effigies of India's gods. It was in 1860, in order to meet the labor shortage occasioned by slave liberation, that local sugar planters first imported Indian coolies. Nowadays Natal's white population hardly outnumbers that of her East Indians. To glimpse the Zululand of today one motors a hundred miles northward of Durban, along sea level; then climbs into the hill fastnesses of what at first seems an almost unpopulated country. At long intervals your car passes some white man's sugar cane, flourishing at 2,000 feet, or his farremoved neighbor's trading store and hostel; for by law the Zululand trader must accommodate wayfarers in a countryside where, what with a quarter of a million acres of bative reservations, dwellings consist almost exclusively of native kraals. Zulus Keep Away From Roads. But where are the natives? Are there no more than the few passing girls balancing baskets of corn on their heads, and the few squatting boys who carve wooden spoons while watching cattle? The truth is, while Zululand's little, circular kraals are scattered far and wide, they are seldom near roads and, when distant, melt indistinguishably into the background. Zulus don't like living near roads. They like streams and hills. And besides if they lived too close to a road some white men would make them work on it. Nowadays, sadly enough, that fine-looking creature, the Zulu, too often forsakes his picturesque native dress for some hodgepodge of hand-me-down store clothes. To see true Zulu costumes and customs, one must stumble fortunately upon the right kraal at the right time. For instance, when a wedding ceremony is about to take place, beer making is in progress. Kafir corn, having been water-steeped until it has sprouted, is being pounded fine, then mixed anew with water to cause the fermentation which would produce—well, call it a mild near-bear. Men furnish assegais, oxhide leops, leopardskin smocks. Some women undergo primitive beauty parlor treatments that build their hair into high, red-clad "permanent buns." What one witnesses nowadays in kraal life is the working out of an administrative system based on those "scheduled native areas" which are found in all of the four provinces. Operating downward from the governor general, and through hereditary chiefs, thir headmen, and the latter's representatives in each family or clan, this patrilarchal system alms at conserving with a minimum of interference that which is best in Bantu law and tradition. A truly staggering problem, this, in "adaptation"! And it appears the more so when one realizes that it is scarcely a century ago that Natal, to cite one province only, was a black Paradise of a million or more Bantu tribesmen. In the Days or Cranks Paradise? Inferno, rather! The tribal troubles had begun when one Dingiwaye, a would-be usurper, fed them for refuge. There he be- held the revelation of military drill and, moreover, acquired the services of a white man, who, returning north- ward with him, taught that drill to Dingiswayo's people. In turn, the sight of drilled Bantus infected the imagination of one Claka, and thereupon this potential Napoleon of the Amazulu proceeded to weld his tribe into a truly terrible fighting machine. The great oxhide shield, the short stabbing spear, the outspread crescent formation that closed its deadly horns about the enemy—such were his ladder rungs to conquest. Moreover, he organized not only his warriors, but his maldens, marrying them off by regiments, male and female, when the valor of the former had been proved. Spartan measures prevailed. Cowards in the fighting line were executed in batches after the action. Because one girl regiment defied the military marriage system, it was promptly massacred. And Spartan example triumphed. At the behest of this black dictator an entire regiment would unhesitably hurl itself over a cliff. His Amazulu became all-conquering, and he that bloody "Chaka the Terrible," who would, for instance, kill off eleven wives "because they annoyed him." Rather a chancy host, this, for white men to visit! Yet in 1823 a certain adventurous Lient. F. G. Farewell and some of his Cape friends actually bobbed in Chaka's court. What a sensation these advance salesmen of white civilization created may be gauged by the fact that one of them, Henry F. Fynn, was at first supposed by the Zulus to be some sort of sea monster. And he, being Irish, no doubt coyly admitted it, with "Sure, me name's Fynn, and haven't fishes fins?" In the end, Chaka was so impressed by his guests' ability to kill distant beasts with a "tube of thunder and lightning" that he granted the concession-seekers trading rights and a generous slice of territory. And thus "Point Fynn" and "Fort Farewell" began appearing on rough maps of the site where today stands the charming seaport of Durban. View it from its residential heights, where brilliant flowers brighten gracious gardens overlooking the redroofed lower town. Or visit its park centered municipal square, or its bayskirting Marine parade, or its shipshipping thonged docks, or its ten-mile beach, where big folk swim ashore on surf boards. Durban Is Very New. How Durban emerged from the wilderness you may comprehend from its pioneers who not long ago hunted buck in what are now city parks. Only last year Hubert the Hippo emerged from somewhere up north and came slouching through Durban's streets in search of the ideal river of his dreams. Hubert's prowlings through Natal perved the news columns and inspired bedtime stories for many a week. Moreover, in the suburbs beyond the Umgeni river young Duranites may visit the little gray monkey folk, where, amid aboreal freedom, they will drop earthward to eat bananas from one's hand. In 1828 Chaka was assassinated by his half-brother, Dingan. Zulu hegemony continued under the latter, who killed it in his great kraal, where, crunching on the floor of an ant heap mixed with blood, his satellites would grusely apostrophize him as "Thou vulture! Thou the bird that eatest other birds." Voortrekker Plet Retief and his comrades presented themselves at Dingaing's court, asking for a cession of lands. There, having been disarmed on a treacherous pretext, they were executed to the last man. This affair, together with subsequent massacres of the Boer settlers, showed that the white's man's existence in Natal hung on a thread. Promptly concentrating a well-organized commando, Andries Pretorius met the Zulu king's 10,000 warriors and crushed them at the Battle of Blood river in 1838. But now, with the English at Port Natal and the victorious Dutch forming a republic at Pletermarsburg, an interracial clash became inevitable. The Dutch stole a march on the English and surrounded their encampment on the spot where the Old Fort now stands. A few years later the province was annexed by the British. THE GAETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1932. By CHERIE NICHOLAS SOMEHOW at the mention of a lace gown it seems the natural thing to vision a sort of fluffy-ruffle affair which is pretty and utterly feminine down to the last detail. Well, it may be all that, and many adorable types are as filmy and fanciful as ever, for the lace gown in any and every interpretation remains the idol of fashion. However, there has crept into the mode a feeling for clothes which have a tailored look. The part of the story which is real "news" is that this tailored-mindedness extends to evening and dinner gowns to such an extent that designers take keen delight in tailoring the sheerest of chiffons, and the latest member to yield to the tailored influence is lace. The woman who has a perfect fit but is an excellent model for a woman who has to cross off pots puddings and pies from her menu. The handsome and new-this durene lace of which this gown made is, as you see, particularly able to tailored treatment. Both land and Venice have had a hair designing this durene lace and you find, as the season advances, that smartest laces belong exclus neither to the Emerald isle or to City of Islands—but to both. A dinner gown that makes no tense of being essentially either debentur or dowager, but is real gown for all ages, is worn by the seated. It has a pleasing low One of the outstanding features of the tailored effects which give distinction to the evening modes is the intricate seaming such as dressmakers years ago would hesitate to attempt in handling laces and thin gauzy materials. Note how the art of seaming has been brought to a point of perfection in the fashioning of the handsome dress dinner gown pictured to the left. Here you have a little jacket which effects, by means of seaming—and seeming, too, for that matter—a very high line, but a moment inter contrives a medium waistline. A priceless piece of compromise this for when the fashion news came along that the 1932 waistline would be high we sighed heavily for the many women who find high waistlines most unflattering. This indeed is a pro烘 desirable not only for SUMMER HATS ARE GAY AND COLORFUL The hats of this year are enough to lift anybody's spirits. Maybe it's to take our minds off our troubles that they are so defiantly gay, so casually frivolous. For street and sports wear this summer, the little brimmed vagabond straw—of milan, leghorn, rough straws and Panama—are going to be away out in front. And they ought to be. They're so smart and practical and tailored, with their impudent little dips over the right eye, their necktie-ribbon bands, their simplicity. One of the most popular straws for this kind of hat is exactly like that used in men's straws—rough and shiny and correct. Wrap-Around Is Smart and Very Practicable Enter the wrap-around week-end wardrobe. It's the newest thought of the Parts designers, and it's about the most sensible innovation of the day. The idea is that the wrap-around coat-dress that can be opened out and folded flat is by far the slimest think to pack without crushing. And if you have a whole set of them, you can jump off the train, change clothes and be ready for what the day brings without having to stop and wait for things to be pressed. The wrap-around style has been developed in practically every variation or day-time dress. Newest Pajamas Follow Lines of Evening Dress Ever since the first hostess pajamas came into town via the beach a few years ago, women have been discovering the joys of the pajama. The new 1932 version of the pajama is taking on disguises and appears as wholly appropriate for the woman who entertains in her own home. The Paris version of the evening pajama sometimes looks like a pajama at the front but like a dress at the back. Sometimes its trouser lines are completely invisible. Many of the newer ones are so full at the hem that there is not the slightest suggestion of a divided skirt at all. the woman who has a perfect figure but is an excellent model for the woman who has to cross of potatoes, puddings and pies from her menu. The handsome and new-this-year durene lace of which this gown is made is, as you see, particularly adaptable to tailored treatment. Both Ireland and Venice have had a hand in designing this durene lace and you will find, as the season advances, that the smartest laces belong exclusively neither to the Emerald isle or to the City of Islands—but to both. A dinner gown that makes no pretence of being essentially either for debutant or dowager, but is really a gown for all ages, is worn by the lady seated. It has a pleasing low back artfully trimmed with the cutout edge of the soft durene lace. Here also seaming, this time in diagonal movement, is employed thus molding the gown to the figure in those snug-fitting lines which are so universal in fashion's realm this season. One can imagine the effectiveness of a lace gown such as this in wine red or Van Dyke brown which is one of the very new names on the color card or perhaps in a smart navy blue—in fact in any of the dark colorings which have entered the evening mode. The call for classic gowns of slender silhouette made very simply of lace such as pictured is being heard more and more as summer advances. For afternoon wear the pastel shades are very much liked and usually there is a matching jacket. (© 1832, Western Newspaper Union.) 100 Polka dots continue to flourish in the mode. Their latest move is to invade the realm of millinery, especially in the sports section where hat-and-scarf sets of dotted fabrics pose as a chief attraction. The dots are either white on a dark background or the order is reversed. Navy and white, brown and beige, red and white or green with white are outstanding combinations. Either the beret or the brimmed hat of polka-dot material is good style and the scarf is emphasized because unusual importance is attached not only to the scarf itself but particularly to smart and original ways of wearing it. Capes Formal afternoon and informal evening dresses of chiffon have capes reaching to the elbow, by way of sleeves, that are edged with thick ruches of chiffon flowers. Patent Leather Trifles Dark blue sailor hats, bright colored belts and gay hags of the shiny leather are used as accessories for many smart costumes. SCENE IN SECOND ACT OF THE OPERA, "TOM-TOM." SCENE IN SECOND ACT OF THE ALFRED MILLER OUR "STARS" IN THE NEW OPERA, "TOM-TOM." 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 Dori Humphreys, paces the large thrust their modern numbers to be given in these operas. Thus, the picture grows for the second grand opera season in the stadium from June 29 to July 6.

Tom" will native jungle first time in the final and America, explosion sho 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 all the time the transition of conditions of life, and changes in music, with the tom-tom underlying them all. Miss Graham, the daughter of a lay Methodist minister, doing post-graduate at Oberlin College, learned the jungle vooook and ancient African taboos from her father, once a missionary. The cast for her opera will bring here one of our best baritones, Jules Bledsoe, to sing the role of "Voodoo Man." Bledsoe, a famous "Old Man A TERRIFIC INDICTMENT Of The Republican Party and President Hoover Because "Lily-White" Delegations From the South Were Seated in the Republican National Convention, Last Week. Chicago, Ill.—(CNA) Police attacked a protest-meter of workers before the Vincennes Hotel here, last week, to protest against the segregation there of our delegates to the Republican national convention. A number of the workers were arrested, including Leonidas MacDonald, our candidate for governor of Illinois on Communist party ticket, and D. R. Polindexer, our candidate (Communist) for Congress in the Second District. The seating of "illy-white" factions from three southern states, the rejection of a plank against lynching and "jim-crowism", the adoption of a milk-and-water plank of vague and hypocritical promises to the Afro-American, the segregation of our delegates, and the renomination of "illy-white" Hoover—this is the bid for the vote of the Afro-American made by the Republican party whose national convention opened here, last week Tuesday. Delegates from the "illy-white" factions of Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina were seated in the convention. And as a result, the council, the "black-and-tan" factions of Mississippi and Tennessee were seated—over the vigorous protests of Hoover spokesman, however. The vague statement appearing in the Republican platform to the effect that the Republican party "will continue to be the friend of the Negro" can be seen in its true light when it is recalled that the Republican convention of 1928 adopted a similar plank. How were the election promises of 1928 kept? Here is what the party has done in the last four years of the Hoover administration: It has refused to abolish "jim-crowism" in the civil service. It has extended segregation in the government departments in Washington, D. C. It has introduced brazen "jim-crowism" into important government projects—notably Bouvier Dam. It has "jim-crowism" against mothers, and consistently refused to take any steps to stop the mounting wave of lynchings. Under the pretext of "cleaning up," it has removed Afro-American Republicans from its committees in southern states. Through its state department, it has harassed and secured River" of the Ziefeld success, "Show Bowl," and of "Deep River," gained his greatest fame in Europe. Lillian Cowan also of N.

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, of the famous Pink Jubilee Cleveland in the cast, but who will be brought here from New York, is Luther King, tenor de luxe, who will have the part, "The Boy." King was graduated from Brett Memorial and Collinwood High schools here, went to New York to complete his studies and became a concert writer; later joining famous Pink Jubilee School in King, like Miss Cowan, got his musical start here. He studied under Cassius C. Chapel at the Cleveland Music School Settlement while Mrs. 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, who played many 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 the arrest of Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro victims, on her tour of Europe. It has brot pressure to bear on the authorities in Honolulu to force them to free four self-confessed white lynchers of a Hawaiian native. It retains in its naval service the leader of its lynching-party. It has sent its forces abroad to oppress the land and Masai in Oregon and Herbert Hoover, the leader and candidate of the party, has followed consistently a policy of catering to the worst Negro-hating elements in the country. He has refused as a rule to be photographed with Afro-Americans — even with those bootlicking reformists who would willingly lower themselves to be photographed with him. He has refused to receive delegations that desired to discuss lynch-murder. He has named for appointment to the positions of U. S. Marshals, in sissippi Gulf of Mexico, the most prominent Negro-born in the country. He has taken the lead in the process of turning the Republican party into an avowed party of the "illy-whitees."

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, tatoo designs, spear heads, shields and such. To make the series less realistic I. Chakiaza Steady, missionary of Africa, has been secured to collaborate with Dr. Ernest Lert in staging some of the scenes. The two performances of "Tom-Tom" will present many of these native jungle scenes, for the first time in history on any stage. In the final act to connect Africa and America, there will be a great explosion showing a sinking behind the mammoth stage set. The actors will plan plans also 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 "Blues." While the dancing groups will be extremely realistic, the same can be said of the music. The "Dance of Victory" in "Alda" 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 tenor sextet and the triumphant number before the second act.
