THE NEW YORK TIMES WHAT'S DOING! Again there are rumors of an effort being made by school authorities to segregate "Negro" pupils of several local schools. According to the newspapers, the great Chicago philanthropist, Julius Rosenwald, left an estate approximating fifty million dollars! That's a lot of money, isn't it? DO NOT make the mistake of signing the petitions being circulated for the "Borough Plan" of county government. The plan would prove a great hindrance to our people in local political affairs. Sidney Thompson and Homer G. Cox, old Republican employees of the city, were let out by the Democratic Miller administration, last week, while Richard Stovall of Ward 12, a former Republican employee of the garbage plant, was put back to work by Director Kennedy. Reading a race publication, the other day, The Rounder noticed that Paul Robeson says he is "prepared to leave this country forever" to locate in England. Also, that he had to go abroad to get deserved recognition as an actor and singer. An English society girl is said to be the magnet. "Tom-Tom" is not the first "all-Negro opera" to be produced in this city, or the country. The Rounder remembers well when Harry L. Freeman, a native of this city, now a resident of New York City, produced his "Vendetta" opera here and in that city, as well as a second one there, by the name of "Voodoo," several years ago. Jules Bledsoe, with his splendid baritone voice, was undoubtedly the outstanding star of the so-called "opera, Tom-Tom," Luther King and Augustus Grist ranking next in the order named. Then came Miss Charlotte Murray, Lillian Cowan and Mrs. Hazel M. Walker. Dr. Ernest Lert, the director, certainly worked wonders in "Tom-Tom," particularly in the choruses. His associate, Mr. Lawrence Higgins, is also entitled to great credit for the splendid way in which it was staged. President David H. Pierce of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch was endeavoring, last week, to enlist the assistance of organizations and individuals in an effort to secure an official investigation of the very distressing drowning of Rudolph Burns, age 15, in Gordon Park before last. He is also opposing the local Apartment House Owners Association's effort to move the "Hollywood tenderloin" district into the west end of Wards 11 and 12. Everybody should help him. Sunday morning at Shiloh Baptist church, the pastor, Rev. A. L. Boone, who came to Cleveland from Texas where he was born, reared and lived for more than fifty years, warned his congregation against voting for Roosevelt and Garner, particularly the latter, a Texas "cracker." Dr. Boone said that in event of Roosevelt's death, if he is elected president, Garner would to the contrary addiddion which of course would mean all (and more) to our people of the country, as so clearly set forth in the editorial, "The Green Bolt," found on the second page of this paper. THE "OPERA" "TOM-TOM" The opera, "Tom-Tom", written by Miss Shirley Graham, a post-graduate student at Oberlin, starts with the "Negro" in Africa and follows the steps in his advancement to the present day, ending in Harlem. Taken first to the moonlit jungles of Africa, we hear the constant beating of the tom-tom in the midst of elephant hunts and savage revelry. The voodoo man (Jules Bledsoe) tells his people of approaching slave hunters, and a cry for blood goes up. The girl (Lillian Cowan) is chosen as victim for the sacrifice and sent to the river with her mother (Charlotte Murray) and a few other companions. The boy (Luther King), who beats the tom-tom to warn his people of approaching enemies, sees A. B. the girl, leaves his tom-tom and goes to sing to her. They are discovered by the Voodoo Man who condemns the boy to death. The tribe, and even the Voodoo Man who breaks away, is captured by the slave hunters and taken to America where they are placed on plantations. After a day's work, they find joy and relief in dance and song, led by the boy and the girl, until the Voodoo Man tells them that the girl has been sold. He kills the overseer and escapes to the swamps where he arrives the scars of the drums of the Union army. The group is next seen in Harlem, N. Y., where the Voodoo Man has started a "back to Africa" movement, organizing a steamship company, which fails. The angry mob of "Negroes", whom the tom-tom has made desirous of returning to Africa, turn upon the man whom they hold responsible for the catastrophe, and from the crowd springs a cabaret dancer who drives his spear into the Voodoo Man's bosom and kills him. "Tom-Tom" was superly staged and given by Dr. Ernest Lert and his associate, Lawrence Higgins, the singing of Jules Moore and Luther King, as well as the ork, featuring. The largest audience is the attend any of the stadium operas at hear and see "Tom-Tom". It was scheduled for an extra production, Thursday night, and is to be given in the fall at Madison Square Garden, N. Y. City. Objectionable Term Eliminated. Cleveland, June 27, 1932. Mr. Lawrence Higgins, The Laurence Studios, 3433 Carnegie Ave., Cleveland, O. Dear Sir!—Yesterday, I learned that the maliciously insulting term, "nigger", is in the third act of "Tom-Tom". It is much more objectionable to my people than some of the vicious terms directed against other people. For instance, "boch", for the German; "sheeny", for the Jew; "mick", for the Irish; "dago", for the Italian; etc. All synonymous and very insulting terms. The use of that most objectionable term in "Tom-Tom" will cause the loss of thousands of dollars in the matter of attendance. No decent, self-respecting colored person attends an entertainment of any kind to be grossly insulted and ridiculed, especially within the sight, and hearing of thousands of members of other groups to say nothing of the Using my paper, I have done about all in my power, in recent weeks, to encourage a large attendance upon Stadium opera, especially the evenings that "Tom-Tom" is presented, and am very anxious to see your efforts a financial as well as an artistic success throut. Do not allow a thing, like the one to which I have called your attention, to so militate against the financial success of your splendid undertaking either here or in New York City where such a great insult will also be resented promptly.

Tenth: Through his postmaster Dear Sir:—I shall not vote for the reelection of President Hoover, next November, for the following reasons: First: He has discriminated against Colored Republicans by refusing to appoint them to any office in the South, except postmaster in towns composed of Colored people. He has discriminated by refusing to appoint qualified Colored men or women to offices in the North in which the advice and consent of the Senate is required, except in two or three instances. Third: He has discriminated against Colored Republicans by refusing to appoint them to membership on any of his numerous boards and commissions, except in one or two instances. He appoints what was practically "jim-crow" boards or commissions. Fourth: In his appointments to federal offices in Georgia, he has ignored the national Republican committeewoman — Mrs. George S. Williams — against whom there was not a scintilla of evidence or charges in the handling of federal patronage, and in which state there was no national committeeman recognized at that time. Fifth: In his appointments to federal offices in Mississippi, he has ignored the Hon. Perry W. Howard, national Republican committeeman, the Mrs. May O. Booze, national committeewoman. Sixth: He has disregarded the constitutional requirement to report to the Congress the state of the country by ignoring the numerous cases of lynching in which my racial group were the most numerous victims. Seventh: He ignored and trampled upon the rights and privileges of the Colored citizens of this country by insisting upon the confirmation of Judge Parker of North Carolina, to the U. S. supreme court bench, over the protests of all of the Colored organizations and the leading Colored men and women of the United States, after it had been shown that Judge Parker, in a public address, had expressed opposition to the use of the ballot by Colored candidates. Eighth: Through his secretary of war, the Hon. Patrick J. Hurley of Oklahoma, he humiliated and insulted the Gold Star Mothers of the Colored Race by sending France on inferior and "jim-crow" ships to visit the graves of their sons who had made the supreme sacrifice for their country. Ninth: He has displayed race prejudice by refusing to be photographed with delegations and commissions composed of Colored peo- DOINGS OF THE RACE.

I have been a lifelong Republican. Have never voted any other ticket than a Republican ticket. I was an enthusiastic supporter of Hoover for President in 1928. I am opposed to the reelection of Hoover for President in 1932. I am sorry the Republican party has made it impossible for me to vote for their candidate for President in 1932. No colored man or woman can vote for the reelection of Hoover. Without sacrificing his or her pride, self and race respect. I am still a Republican, but not a "Hoover Republican."

The laws of Ohio make sucha thing impossible. An attempt to change them would un- doubtedly meet with failure. it FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Congressman Emanuel Celler of the 10th New York district has in- troduced a resolution in the’ U. 8. House of Representatives calling tor the erection in the nation’s. capital of a memorial to tle Hon. Freder- ick Douglass, “the Sage of Anacos- tia.” This is something that should have been done many years ago, it for no other reason than because of what Douglass did to help this coun- try free itself of the baneful instl- tution, slavery. He is far and away our greatest gure in the history of this country. The Hon, Mr. Celler says of him: “Brederick Douglass was the trusted confidante of Lincoln and Grant and many other statesmen. What George Washington was in the darkest hours of American inde- pendence, what Abraham Lincoln was to the country in its hours of travail, what General Grant was in the “Wilderness,” what Toussiant L/Ouverture was to the Black Re- public of Haiti when the armies of Napoleon (under his brother-in-law, General Le .Clerque) were en- camped about it, attempting its re- enslavement, that and more was Frederick Douglass to his people in their struggle for independence be- fore and after emancipation.” For what he has done for this country, independent of what he did for his people, Frederick Douglass deserves 9 place in its Hall of Fame. ‘The Hon. Mr. Celler is to be compli- mented upon, and aided to our full- est capacity, in his most laudable undertaking to which we are calling attention. THE GREEN BOLT. ‘There is no denying the facts given in the statement of K, P. Su- preme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, a Louisiana Republican Jeader, published elsewhere in this paper, but there are good reasons for questioning the wisdom of the position he has taken in bolting the Hoover nomination as wo shail en- deavor to indicate in what follows: ‘There are but two parties, the Republbican and the Democratic, that are really in the contest for the Presidency. Hither a Republican or a Democrat will be elected chiet ‘executive of this great, nation in November. It will be practically Joss of one’s vote to support any other than the Republican or the Democratic candidate for the Presi- dency. As we all know, President Herbert Hoover is the Republican candidate and Franklin Roosevelt of New York and Georgia is the Demo- cratic candidate. ‘As Mr. Green well shows, the Re publican party, its leader and its leadership of today are open to a great deal of criticisms from our race standpoint for many important and really vital omissions and com- missions. On the other hand, we have had only opposition and hind- Fance of the most serious nature, and no help, from the national Democratic party and its leadership, Franklin Roosevelt had the unani- mous support of southern Democracy in the recent Democratic convention at Chicago. Southern Democracy, which controlls national Democracy, is responsible for mob-violence and lynching, distranchisement, “jim- crow” cars, segregation and the most numerous and flagrant viola- tions of about all of our citizen- rights, and privileges, in its section of this country as well as this sec- tion. Its commanding and baneful influence in the North, even under Republican administrations, is known and felt by every member of the race in this section of the country. Southern Democracy also controlls absolutely every national Democratic administration, as well as all state ‘administrations in that section of the country. The Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson administra- tions are cases,in point. Badly as we have been treated, particularly under the Coolidge and Hoover ad- ministrations, we cam only liken bolting the Republican party to go to the support of the Democratic party in federal (national) elections to “jumping from the frying pan into the fire” in case of the success of the latter. We cannot help our- selves by throwing our support to the greater of the two evils, because no one can deny that as bad as the Republican party may be, from a race standpoint, the Democratic party un- der the control of southern Democ- racy, as it is and always has been, is infinitely worse for us. Unlike other groups’ or classes of ‘Americans who become dissatisfied with the Republican party or its fed- eral candidates, we have “no place to go” when desirous of bolting the party in federal elections=those for presidential electors and tor mem- bers of The Congress. It sure is not the part of wisdom to aid the party that is controlled by the ele- ment (southern Democracy) that causes or influences about all of our citizenship troubles, and forsake the party, the only one that has helped us, even tho at times wofully neglecting and even insulting us, in this day and time.

OHIO’S MOB VIOLENCE ACT 66 OR ANTI-LLYNCHING 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. par Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in tho Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into iaw. “The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld tho constitu. Honality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Ponneylvania 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 north- orn states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Oblo law follows: Section 6278. “Mob” and “lynching” defined. 6279. “Serlous injury” defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 5282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of vietim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the recuest of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C, Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the edi- tor had enacved while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: ‘The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or bis employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, éat- Ing house, barber-shop, public’ con- veyance by land or water, theater ar other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies ‘to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and’ ragardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facili- tles 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 hundreds dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction in the county where euch offense was committed. This law has repeated:y nen held constitutional and_good law py the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not usé it as often as they should, but expect it to do for thom what ihey should and must do for themselves, undér it, in the couets, PROTEST! PROTEST! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cow- ards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust. the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gulllotines decide our’ least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

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 assassin!

This explains the postponement of their social function announced, several weeks ago, to be held at that place. The Rounder list is to that new Ridgwood inn management that if the foregoing is true, its decision is contrary to Ohio law. Charles E. Smith, secretary in the police department until his recent retirement on pension, also has been receiving 75 cents an hour as a laborer, Safety Director Merrick admitted. Smith was retired several weeks ago after 29 years in the police department. For two weeks he had been given, in addition to his pension, the laborer's rate of pay to organize the police auction. "Smith knows so much about these auctions I put him on for the time being," Merrick said. "He's going off tomorrow." Again there are rumors of efforts being made by several of our local doctors, with the help of several whites, to gain public support for a "jin-crow" hospital for this city.

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 rotten 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? 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 have been made a 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. Johnson's 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of adversary action and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature self-respect and have no "guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionist, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their mans to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. YER IRIN is always SAFE beware of imitations imitations. Millions of users have proved that it is safe. Genuine Bayer Aspirin promptly relieves: No harmful after-effects follow its use. It does not depress the heart. R.H.

(Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.)—WNU Service. LOUISIANA has dedicated her new doneless capitol building, a gigantic pile of ilmestone which rises 33 stories above the streets of Baton Rouge. Louisiana boasts many modern buildings in her bustling cities, but the fame of the state is not confined to architecture. It is more widely known for its equitable climate, its tranquil scenic beauty, and a hospitality which makes the manifold claims of her citizens as to the state's point of excellence seem a bare recital of obvious facts. It is one of America's leading fur-producing regions, and the source of staggering quantities of shrimps and strawberries, oysters and oranges, sugar and salt, terrapins and ferry tabasco, rice and red snappers, figs and frog's legs, waterfowl and muskrats, timber and turpentine, cucumbers and cattle, sulphur and Spanish moss. Oil and gas flow from its seemingly inexhaustible subterranean chambers. It boasts the second largest port in the United States—New Orleans—through which pass vast cargoes of foreign commodities, including 23,000,000 bunches of bananas each year, coffee for every third cup consumed in the United States, and mahogany and sisal, to our markets; while all the varied products of farm and factory originating in the lower Mississippi valley begin their sea journey from the city's docks. Romance of New Orleans. Many writers agree that New Orleans is one of only three great "story cities" of America. And New Orleans is part and parcel of Louisiana. One needs only to go back to the adventurous times of those daring French pioneers, La Salle, Bienville and Iberville; to the days of those picturesque and honored pilates, the Laffitte Brothers and Dominique You; to quadroon balls, voodoo rites, suicide and dueling oaks, or even to the fantastic revels of this year's Mardi Gras, to find romance here. Today in Louisiana the visitor encounters romance as readily in any one of the half score 15-to-20-story office buildings of New Orleans as he did formerly in the city's "hunted houses," absinthe bars, or charming patios rich in association with the names of Lafayette, Louis Philippe, Adelina Patti, Jenny Lind, Audubon, Paul Morphy, and Lafcadio Hearn. For decades Louisiana's great sugar mills, set down in the midst of billows of green cane extending to the horizon, had unfailingly ground out wealth to the state's sugar barons. Three hundred thousand tons of sugar was not an unusual year's yield from the fecund black soil. But the major romance of Louisiana is to be found not in its cane fields. The progenitor of those fields, and of the entire state, is the Father of Waters. With its long, tenuous fingers of slit thrust far out into the Gulf of Mexico, the "bldr's-foot" delta of the Mississippi is unlike that of any other major river on the globe. Between its fingers or claws are shallow, open bays, and the banks confining the great streams into which the river divides at Head of Passes, 95 miles below New Orleans, are in some places only a few feet in width. In colonial times, when 10 or 12 feet of water provided ample depth for all caravels of commerce, navigation of the main passes of the Mississippi presented no difficulties, but with the increase in the tonnage and draft of vessels the shallow finger channels were a bar to progress and prosperity. Making the Delta Navigable. Ninety years ago the federal government made the first appropriation for deepening these natural channels, and in the course of the next 40 years it succeeded, by means of crude dredging processes, in increasing the depth to from 12 to 20 feet. But when it is recalled that in time of flood the Mississippi brings down for deposit at its mouth more than 2,000,000 tons of sand a day, one can realise that this was a costly and disheartening battle. By 1870 vessels had so increased in size and draft that a deeper channel became a crying necessity. A board of eminent engineers, appointed to find a solution of the problem, made exhaustive studies of many important harbor entrances, including the mouths of the Danube, which had been successfully improved by means of contracting jetties similar to those now in use on the Mississippi river. The board finally reported that the use of jetties would be too costly for the improvement of the mouths of the Mississippi and recommended the construction of a ship canal from Fort St. Philip (opposite Fort Jackson) to the Gulf. At this juncture there appeared before congress an engineering genius who persuaded that body to defer for the time being the digging of the ship canal and permit him, on a basis of "no cure, no pay," to attempt to provide and maintain a deep-water channel in his own way. But when congress finally accepted this "can't loose" proposition of James B. Eads, who had just completed the world-famous steel-arch bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis, the engineer was not permitted to use the Southwest Pass for his experiment, as he had specified. This was the best of the three main passes, and the government was taking no chances with Mr. Eads and his chimerical proposition! If he wanted to lose his own money, he could sink it in South Pass without endangering the then best channel. The Eads contract called not only for a channel 26 feet deep and 200 feet wide at the bottom, but for maintaining that depth for 20 years. With tremendous energy and rare organizing ability, the engineer set to work, and in less than five years his jetties and his dredges had done the work. And, furthermore, he maintained the depth for 20 years, that period expiring in 1901. The main responsibility of the engineers today, so far as the mouths of the Mississippi are concerned, is to prevent the river from creating new passes. Eurs From the Marshlands. It is not only the Mississippi which makes Louisiana "water-minded." The state is threaded and meshed with bayous, lakes and streams, giving it more than 4,790 miles of navigable waters—a total which exceeds by two for one its nearest competitor in the Union, Arkansas. Naturally, much of the bordering land in the vast delta region is marsh area; but let no casual observer be deceived into imagining that "marsh" in Louisiana means waste or unproductive land. It is these tens of thousands of grass-covered acres which have given the state the unique distinction of being the largest fur-producing commonwealth in the Union. As a matter of fact, not only does Louisiana lead all other states both in the value of its fur crop and in the number of pelts marketed, but last year, and for several years past, it has produced more pelts than the entire Dominion of Canada, generally recognized as one of the world's most important fur-producing countries. The muskrat is the fur citizen mainstay of the state's pelt wealth. More than 5,000,000 of him were taken during the open season from November 20 to February 5, 1928-29. What with muskratrs, opossums, raccoons, minks, skunks, otters, wild cats and foxes, the trappers' sales last year aggregated $8,500,000—exceeding by a third the total value of Alaska's production of gold and silver for the same period. The Evangeline Country. Journeying by a series of autobus stages from New Orleans to Lake Charles, in the southwest corner of the state, one passes through a section of Louisiana which is redolent of romance. Here lies the Ewangeline country, with its many pleasing, if seldom substantiated, stories identifying particular spots with various episodes in the Longfellow epic. St. Martinville, one-of the oldest towns in Louisiana, is the center of the Ewangeline cult, with its Ewangeline oak and its grave of the woman from whom the poet is supposed to have drawn his picture of the Acadian heroine. At New Iberia are Louisiana's famous salt mines. On an open-platform elevator one descends for 540 feet in Stygania darkness to the present floor of this salt mine. Its vast galleries are sixty feet in height, half again as wide in some places, and their winding length exceeds two miles. With electric drills, miners bore into the salt rock, set off their charges of dynamite, and blow out great blocks of pure crystal salt, which is scooped up in mechanical shovels and loaded on cars similar to those used in coal mines. With a production of some 19,000,000 bushels of rice a year, Louisiana not only produces more of the cereal than any other state in the Union, but it has one-half of the entire United States rice acreage. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1932 NEWEST FABRIC FOR FOUNDATION THINGS Two-Way Stretch Stuff Is Most Comfortable. Sports fashions demand correct and comfortable foundation garments. In choosing yours for summer, look at those of two-way stretch fabric. They are the newest thing on the market and the most comfortable. You can bend and twist and they go right back into shape and wash as easily as a hankle. For general daytime wear, the peach color batiste all-in-one garment in the sketch at right is suggested. It has a lace uplift brassiere arrangement at the top and an adjustable V-shaped back belt that slips into eyelids—the reason being to draw in the diaphragm, waistline and abdomen. Under sheer silk suits and dresses on hot summer days this particular garment would be ideal, since it is light as a feather and yet has sufficient support when it is really needed. The little step-in girdles will be the choice of all the your girls in town this year. They come in fascinating materials and launder easily. White is a popular color—reason being that white is to be such an important lingerie as well as costume color. Tea rose and peach are also to be very fashion-right. BUTTERFLY SLEEVES By CHERIE NICHOLAS Watch shoulder and sleeve treatments. They are everything that is novel and interesting. The fact that fashion demands that shoulders be covered has caused designers to give play to imagination in creating most unusual top o' the arm effects. Many of the new "lines" stress the sprightfulness of butterfly wings. The charming summary printed frock pictured is made to look distinctively new because of the crisp airy frills which take the place of sleeves and which emphasize the now-modish butterfly silhouette. To the left at the top the sketch shows the sleeve which is formed of wide plented ruching, thus giving the wide-shouldered effect which is now the fashionable thing. Below to the left in the group is an evening collate neckline which extends its crisp pleating into the latest, approved broad -across -the -shoulder lines. STYLE NOTES Brief taffetta jackets top summer frocks. Necklines are coming closer up to the throat. Short shoulder capelets challenge the supremacy of waist-length jackets. Straight slim skirts and broad shoulders is latest silhouette formula. Wine-red and white prints lead in the mode this season. Huge bright-colored buttons, single or en suite, ornament white costumes. Knitted two-piece suits with the jacket of the bolero type are new. Chalky crepes in the pastel tones are the wanted kind. Stripes Become Popular in the Fashion World Stripes are making tremendous fashion strides. In fact, one can easily say they are decidedly down in the front row and that every woman is wearing them in some form or another, broad or narrow, vertical or horizontal stripes. Many of the newest materials feature a combination of broad and narrow stripes. Plain colored coats and frocks have revers of striped fabrics and jaunty little sports jumpers are irregularly striped. A dark red woolen dress, cut on simple tailored lines, takes on an air of ultra smartness by the introduction of a multi-colored silken scarf threaded through the single revers and drawn under the belt. New Cream Tones With beige definitely re-established, along comes cream color—a very pale cream tone that seems to be a natural successor to eggshell. PRINTED SILKS IN LEAD FOR SUMMER Designs Are Especially Lovely This Season. Printed silks are especially lovely this year, but need the simples of cut and some small additions of plain colors to enhance the pattern. Spots were the forecomers among the printed designs, and flowered and spriged fabrics have joined them. A novel effect arises from the combination of materials of the same pattern in different colors—for example, a dress of navy blue spriged with the same green sprigs on it, and with an undercarve of green unpatterned material, which makes all the difference between a bewildering and a pleasing dress. A plain dress of spotted silk is completely transformed by a little coatce with epaulettes, made of flannel the same color as the spots. For evenings materials with very little sheen are being used, and to meet this demand, there are a number of fabrics in extremely fine wool. Bright surfaced materials are used in dark shades only; and especially in the new shade called "ubergine," which is a purplish brown shade, reminiscent of the dark hollyhock. By CHERIE NICHOLAS Women of discriminating taste who ever will regard the suit as the ideal costume for daytime wear welcome the innovation which has brought into fashion for these summer days the blouse which is made of sheerest all-silk chiffon printed in a tone to match the color of the suit. Smartest prints for this purpose pattern a single color on a white or eggshell background, that is, with a navy suit the print is navy on white, with a brown suit it is brown on eggshell and so on. The print which fashions the blouse pictured is one of the newer types, which accounts for the stripe effect suggested in its motif, for in Paris as well as here, stripes are the rage. Note the clever twin belt which simulates a high waistline which is in keeping with latest style dictates. The soft-tied bows also reflect a significant style trend. The wee sketch shows the blouse as it appears when topped with the suit-jacket. FLASHES FROM PARIS Black-and-white gains for formal occasions. Fashion points to flower-printed satin for formal gowns. Shallow crowns and versatile brims bring in era of new "lines." The beltiest princess silhouette gains in favor. The new directoire coiffure sponsored in Paris calls for "bangs." Girdles either separate or encrusted in the dress widen into corsetel effects. Covered shoulders and low-cut backs feature in evening modes. Colored Hosiery Coming Into Favor for Summer Colored hosiery is being pushed by some up and coming shops. Already the navy blue mesh hose for wear with navy blue street customers has made its mark. Now they are showing, especially in Paris, soft mauve grays, apricot and pale green tones, for wear with black patent leather shoes in town, or for resort wear with white shoes. Mesh hose for sports wear are shown in pale green, blue and yellow. Beige Bags A fashion that as yet is still "a high fashion" is the beige bag. It may be velvet calf, that new suede-like leatherc; it may be pin seal or cross grain calf or it may be the finest sharkskin, but it is always chic. SNAP-SHOTS "READ" TELEPHONE METERS Cameras Increase Accuracy In City Exchanges The camera doesn't lie. Cruel as this fact may be to some persons, it is an invaluable aid to telephone men in maintaining a high degree of accuracy in their records. Photography for "reading" meters plays an important part in telephone exchanges in large Ohio cities, where the number of calls made by a subscriber is measured. A box-like camera, known as a J Factographing Telephone Meters factograph, photographs the telephone meters that record the number of calls completed on a subscriber's line. Operating similarly to an ordinary snap-shot camera, the factograph contains a roll of film large enough to take pictures of 1,000 meters. After all meters in an exchange have been photographed, the film is developed by the company's photographic department at Cleveland. From here prints of the film are sent to the accounting department, where readings are transcribed directly from them to subscribers' account cards. Infallibility of the camera and elimination of the chance for error in sight reading of telephone meters greatly adds to the accuracy of subscribers' records, according to telephone officials. More than 100,000 meters are "read" by factographs each month in exchanges of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. MANY CALLS FREE OF NEW U. S. TAX Levy Hits Only One-Third of Inter-City 'Phone Calls Ohio telephone users are not required to pay federal tax on a large portion of their telephone calls, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. The new United States government tax, which became effective June 21, does not apply to local calls and affects only about 30 percent of the long distance messages. All long distance calls costing less than 50 cents are tax free. This means that during the day subscribers can make three-minute station-to-station calls up to 50 miles without paying a tax. After 8:30 p.m., when night rates start, tax-exempt out-of-town calls may be made station-to-station, within a radius of 150 miles for three minutes. Under the new revenue act, telephone companies are responsible for collecting these taxes and turning them over to the United States Collector of Internal Revenue. More than 145,000 girls are employed to operate private branch telephone exchanges connected with the Bell System's exchanges. WORKERS DIG UP FREAK OF NATURE WORKERS DIG UP FREAK OF NATURE One of the most unusual "freaks of nature" ever discovered by telephone men was uncovered by workers of the Cincinnati and Suburban Telephone Company while excavating to extract a cable in Covington, Ky. A tap root of a sycamore tree had forced its way into the cable conduit and had grown entwined with the cable for a distance of 20 feet. The cable and root were braided very much like a school girl's pigtail. The presence of the root, however, did not interfere with telephone service. It was not until a steam shovel working in the street damaged the cable that the interwoven phenomenon was found. Regular radio telephone service is opened between North America and South Africa, creating the first major link of commercial telephone service between the United States and the Dark Continent. Calls are routed via England and cover a distance of 9,500 miles between New York and Cape Town. 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. Linemen Climb as Pet Feline "Roosts" 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 white drunkard or harlot while driving away Negro woman or man of character and culture. I have no respect for those Negroes who, knowing these things, serve segregation and are befuddled the Negro public which had 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 here and there they would solve their perplexing problems. The system, therefore, has extended from one thing to another until the Negroes today find themselves hedged in by the color bar almost every way and, set off by them themselves, the Negroes and, set off by them themselves, the mighty come into the flesh they might come into contact. In the ghetto, they are not permitted to construct and carry out a program of their own. These segregating institutions, moreover, interfere with the development of self-heal among Negroes, for often we fail to raise money to establish institutions which might control, and we readily contribute large sums for our institutions which segregate persons of African 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 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 he thus despitefully uses. We see that the Greeks were never able to make their best contributions until they began to break down social barriers. The Romans likewise saw the classes and masses that they finally realized that they were handicapped 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 North as a sort of twin institution to the Federal hospital now under operation near Tuskegee. The chief argument of the Negro physicians in favor of such a "jim-crow" institution is the possibility it will offer to be based on the medical profession. We might add 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 As- When a cat goes to roost, there's bound to be a stormy time ahead. Thus the wise men of Middletown, O., prophesy as they cast their eyes skyward, for the legend of the cat who turned pole sitter is fresh in their memories. Tired of its pampered and sheltered existence, one of Middletown's favorites—a yellow Persian kitten—went exploring and spied a point of vantage where it could sight-see in peace. When the worried owners next saw their kitten, it was perched nonchalantly on top of a telephone pole. Despite pleas, bowls of tempting milk and promises of more freedom in the future, the kitten refused to budge from its observation post. Two days passed and the feline was still up in the "crow's nest"—weakened from lack of nourishment, but stubborn. The owners appealed to the Humane Society for help. The Humane Society in turn sent an S. O. S. to The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Within a short time, telephone linemen scaled the heights and res- sociation and Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. The attitude of Dr. Murray is inconsistent, and the reasons offered by him in his attempt to justify the hospital are fallacious to the core. There is no need of having Negroes "jim-crowed" any further by the government of the United States. Dr. Murray attempts to talk about Jewish hospitals and Italian hospitals. Mr. Murray knows, 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 resent it and refuse to accept it. Dr. Murray's plea for inter-racial contacts is childish. Those opportunities are limited on a daily 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 justification 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 semblance of return, and that a hospital would be but a feeble expression of appreciation on their part. Negroes cumulated 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 Cour AN OPPORTUNITY!

MRON cued the kitten from self-inflicted starvation. But the story doesn't end as happily as that. Almost as soon as the linemen were out of sight, the feline pole sitter scampered back up the pole and the rescue had to be accomplished all over again.
