My Dear friend Harry: —Enclosed please find money order for $2.00 to renew my subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette. There is no chance for me to forget what my subscription is due as that is my anniversary and I always pay for The Union and The Gazette at the same time and on my anniversary. That makes it easy to remember. I have followed this plan in the last few years and I think it is a good one. I want to congratulate you on the 55th anniversary of the Old Reliable" hoping you will live many more years to publish it. As I have often said, the race will never realize your worth until you have passed to the great beyond. But I believe in giving flowers while one is alive and can appreciate them. And I consider you one of our greatest race men. I close with kindest regards from Your old friend. Chuck Hunt. AN OUTSTANDING CANDIDATE. For Judge of the Probate Court- Able and Experienced—Served Long Under Judge Hadden. On July 6, 1932, Atty. Edwin E. Miller announced his candidacy for judge of Cuyahoga County's probate court; election, this fall. He is a graduate of Western Reserve law school, has practiced in this city for twenty-three years, served under the late Judge Alexander Hadden in Probate Court for nine years, has high law or John Marshall law school for fifteen years, and is an authority on the probate cases this state. Twice Western Reserve has offered him the position of professor in its probate law department. Mr. Miller is noted for his clarity of thinking, his adherence to legal ethics and common honesty, for being an exceedingly hard worker and for keeping in good physical condition. He is an ideal candidate for the position. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The City Cab Co. of Detroit operates more than a hundred cabs and is giving employment to 200 of our people. Clerk Thos. F. Harper has been placed in charge of the multigraph section, of the Washington, D. C., postoffice. It requires a good-size staff. Ten "Negroes" committed suicide and thirty-five attempted unsuccessfully to do so in Washington, D. C., during the first six months of 1932. The foreign-born "Negro" population, according to the latest U. S. Census returns, numbered 98,620, April 1, 1930, an increase from 73,803 in 1920. Richard Dix and other movie stars refused, recently, to enter the Olmpic village near Los Angeles when its securities had to admit Clarence Minto, the stage and screen star of color, who was with them. Miss Louise Stokes of Malden, Mass., and Miss Tanya Pickett of Chicago, both our sprinters, were to be members of the triumphant U. S. girls' team in the recent Olympics at Los Angeles but were "eucherted" out of its race. Jose H. Sherwood of St. Paul is a candidate for the post of assistant superintendent. Division of Postoffice Service, under the first assistant postmaster general and his candidacy is being promoted by our National Alliance of Postal Employees. We colored Americans' worst present blunder is use of the word, Negro, as a race name. It is useful in imbuing the minds of white people with the fool idea that we are not Americans, and not fully human beings.—Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter in the Boston Guard. Tolan and Metcalfe, and George Simpson (white) of Ohio, had a post Olympic race in Soldiers' Field, Chicago, Thursday evening. Metcalfe lives in Wisconsin. Tolan has been offered the position of track coach at the University of Japan, Tokio, it is announced from Los Angeles. Gov. Brucker of Michigan last week sent Eddie Tolan, former University of Michigan ace, the following telegram: "I wish to add my personal congratulations to those of the people of Michigan for your reliant and remarkable Not only Michigan but the United States is proud of your achievements." The forthcoming anthology of "Negro" poetry soon to be published in the Soviet Union (Russia) will contain poems of Countie Cullen, Lewis Alexander, Dictator McKenna, Joseph Cotter, Langston Hughes, Henry Lee Moon, and many other young poets whose works are well known in this country. BOYDSTON POST NEWS Commander Wallace E. Stokes and Adit. Chas. Taylor represented the post at the A. L. state convention in Toledo, last week. It went on record as favoring the immediate payment of the bonus and adopted a resolution protesting the mistreatment of the B. E. F. forces in Washington, D. C. Col. Ralph Cole of Findlay is the new state commander, and Lima was chosen as the next meeting place.

Walker, chairwoman, to the committee of arrangements, and S. V. Perry, sec. Organizations, wishing to participate in the parade, should notify the post headquarters in the Garvin Bldg. E. 55th St., by Friday, Aug. 26. The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Rounder found the following in last week's Cincinnati Union, W. P. Dabney, editor: "Rev. Kingsley of Chicago, former Cleveland, O., pastor, once publicly said, 'A church has the kind of preacher it wants and deserves.' Many, should we say most, of those we have are simply graffers, preying rather than praying, and the silly fools who follow them should be in a kindergarten or lunatic asylum! Now, that the campaign is on, these lose-leaf preachers are working on candidates for office, selling to them their congregations. St. Mary's Church judges for money in one day, Judas, it is said, got thirty pieces of silver for selling Jesus. A number of Negroes parading as preachers are selling their Jesus for a few dimes!" Comment on the foregoing absolutely unnecessary. The Rounder leaves its local application to "The Old Reliable's" many readers. Councilman Clayborne George drew up an ordinance providing for the transfer of parking at the stadium from private hands to the city which was presented to the City Council at its meeting, Monday night. George has had plenty of time in the stadium to draw up a resolution also for presentation to the City Council calling for an official investigation of the drowning of Rudolph Burns. Why hasn't he done it? It was undoubtedly the result of neglect of a city life-guard, or life-guards, on the Gordon park beach that day. The new park does not live far from George in the sameSeveral days after the lad was drowned, his father called on the Councilman at his home, so he informs The Rounder, only to learn that George didn't know anything about the drowning of his son, Rudolph, at the local daily papers had several days. Of the near-murdered, as far as The Rounder has been able to learn, the councilman has paid little or no attention to the matter since. Lord, have mercy, as the editor would say. If Atty. Louise Pridgeon had lived and was a member of the City Council, would she have neglected a matter so important? I should say if we will learn her prompt and effective work in the little girl of the race who was so brutally assaulted in Croton Ave. about a year ago. NEGRO VICTORY. The fastest human being of all times is Eddie Tolan, Nego graduate of Michigan University. The second fastest is Ralph Metcalfe, Negro student at Marquette university. By tieing the world's record in the 100 meter dash and cracking the Olympic record in the 200 meter dash, Tolan achieved what American runners have strived to achieve since 1912—to win both the Olympic dashes. Thus Negro athletes are once again in the lime-light. Each year, in every field of sport, Negroes are showing their skill and proving to the world that given a fair chance they can compete with any race or nationality. In track, more than any sport, sport, negroes are winners simply because they can outwintered by unfair decisions or conspiring whites. In football, baseball, boxing—in all co-operative sports they do not fare so well, even the their ability is just as outstanding. However such super sportsmen and athletes as Tolan and Metcalfe should make prejudiced whites take a back seat.—Lakewood (O. Post). Splendid Recognition Wichita, Kan. — Mrs. Dorothy Winston, president and founder of The Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of Music here, has just had her voice department affiliated with Wichita Univ., by its board of regents. This means that any student in the University of Wichita taking music under Mrs. Winston will receive full credit from the university, and the work will count toward a degree. In celebration of their 26th marriage anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Walden, E. 61st St., remodeled their home. Her brother and son en route to Indianapolis from N. Y. City, visited them, recently. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SAYS ATTY. C. F. STRADFORD IN AN EXCEPTIONALLY ABLE ADDRESS ON "SOCIAL UNREST AND THE LAW". Education a Fundamental—Most Distressed and Most Patient—Social Improvement—Walter Hamilton and the "Hoover Dam." Indianapolis, Ind.—A discontented Afro-American, scuffling for his rights and development, was pictured as the chief hope of the race's future in this country by Atty. C. Francis Stradford before delegates to the eighth annual convention of the National Bar Association, held here, recently. Mr. Stradford, a former president of the Association, spoke on the subject, "Social Unrest and the Law." ers. Mr. Stradford recommended continued education as the source of intelligent discontent, among both whites and blacks. "In this period of depression and unrest," he explained, "the Afro-American, the most distressed of all, the hardest hit of all, has shown most patience and least discontent. "Our aim is to create in this country," he stated, "a discontented, a dissatisfied Afro-American, a displeased man of color. Not a man discontented and displeased in the sense of being merely a sorehead, but one intelligently opposed to wrong and willing to fight incessantly and to make sacrifices, if you please, to abolish every form of pro-terrorism, discrimination, and injustice." He held up as an example of this desirable type of citizens, a Nevada laborer, Walter Hamilton. "Few people have ever heard of Walter Hamilton, who led the fight made by colored citizens of Las Vegas, Nev., to secure employment for his people at Hoover Dam." asserted Mr. Stradford. "He was ridiculed at first even by members of his own group and referred to as an agitator, fanatic, red or radical, but through his intelligence, courage, persistence and abiding faith in the ultimate triumph of justice, he finalized the campaign of praise and commendation of both the colored and white people of Las Vegas. Colored men are now working on the Hoover Dam." In opening his address Mr. Stradford depicted social unrest in the United States and other sections of the world at the present time. He also pointed to the past and recalled the creation of laws in Greece and Rome and England in response to new social and economic phenomena. Frequent reference was made to labor laws, which came to meet the needs of the working class. He described the fight of labor for a place in the sun as a kind of "intelligent discontent" and presented as an illustration of the growing consciousness in the labor field, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Port- IRONTON "LYNCHERS" Again Brot Into Court After a Jury Acquittal in Murder Trial Boys Resented Murray's Care of Girl. Ironton. O.—Although a jury in common pleas court acquitted the six whites, charged with second degree murder in the death of Luke Murray, 24-year-old chauffeur and butler for an Atlanta, Ga. family, charges of breaking into jail and kidnaping were lodged against them, six others, recently, by Row C. Club of Burlington. O. in the murder trial, the state contended, that the men broke into the jail, took Murray to the river and after striking him over the head, threw him overboard, so that he could drown. His body was found three days later. The defense counsel admitted that the defendants broke into the jail and took Murray out, but insisted that he jumped out of the rowboat himself as he was being transported to the Kentucky shore. The state was unable to prove that the law Murray had accused and the jury acquitted him. However, the defendants have admitted the contents contained in the contents charges. The Lincoln league was responsible for the original investigation into the case and has courageously fought to have the abductors and alleged murderers of Murray punished. It was brought out at the murder trial that young white boys in the town of Southport, O., resented the influence, which Murray had with the pretty 66-year-old niece of the murderer. They complained that he acted like a guardian angel and who acted like a woman who were after the girl were described as half wits by the state in closing the case. It was also brought out that the knife with which Murray was alleged to have threatened one of the white boys was a souvenir of the 1928 political campaign and that, instead of threatening the boys, he sought to protect himself from an attack of the young white hoodlums, both of whom were also trying to get close to Nancy Adams. The 12 were given a hearing, Aug. 12. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately be made with the NEWEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS EOPLE! C. F. STRADFORD ALLY ABLE ADDRESS ON ST AND THE LAW". —Most Distressed and Most improvement—Walter the "Hoover Dam." ers. Mr. Stradford recommended continued education as the source of intelligent discontent, among both whites and blacks. "In this period of depression and unrest, I explained, "The Afro-American, the most distressed of all, the hardest hit of all, has shown most patience and least discontent. President Hoover. This, however, is in strict keeping with the basic laws of social psychology, because discontent increases with social improvement. Those who have most, want most, and those who have least want least. I am convinced the Afro-American must become more resive. In order to make progress, he must show this discontent by showing it. If one has said, knowledge is the surest basis of happiness, it is that type of knowledge which breeds the most discontent with social wrongs and injustice. Indeed, that should be the fundamental aim of all education whether formal or adult and obviously the whites must be educated along with the blacks, whose will result in the development of a sound and wholesome public opinion upon which depends the vigorous and impartial enforcement of the law." DR. WRIGHT OUTLINES His Policy as President of Wilberforce University — Bishop R. C. Ransom's Statement. Wilberforce, O.—Dr. R. R. Wright, the new president of Wilberforce university, in outlining his hopes for a great Methodist school here, said, recently, at Philadelphia, his home: "I have decided to accept the presidency of Wilberforce. I did not actually intend to 30 take up the work. My delay was not due to either indifference or indecision. My first impulse was to say yes when the post was offered to me by the unanimous "drafting" of the board. But the times are so strenuous that I felt it best to look into the situation as to my own fitness as well as to secure the attitude of the bishop's public and the co-operation of the various elements making up the university and community life of Wilberforce. "I shall make no radical changes in the faculty. My attention will be directed specifically to the handling of the business end of the university at least for the first six months. If I can get, as I expect to get, the enthusiastic support of the four bishops, of the first educational disbandment, of the university, of nothing but success. Bishops Ransom, Parks, Heard and Tookes, have given me these assurances. "It's a hard job. But I'm not afraid of it. In God's name I accept it. With God's help and support of the church and race, we will build a greater university at Wilberforce." Bishop Ransom said that Wilberforce offered one of the most appealing posts of service and the rank of this time. He said that they were availing themselves of Dr. Wright's administrative capacity and business ability to put Wilberforce "once more on the highway of financial safety and academic influence." Dr. Theo. C. Hendricks, a former resident of this city, and Mrs. Genevieve Lewis Hendricks, newly-weds, have located in Chicago where he is manager of a drug store. Dr. Hendricks is a brother of Dr. F. H. Hendricks of this city.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1932. OUR FIFTIETH YEAR. As stated in our last issue, with this issue "The Old Reliable" Gazette enters upon its fifth year of continuous publication, every week on time. This paper made its first appearance, Aug. 25, 1883, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge through the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have always and will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," orcillatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-nine years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C. Smith. Editor and Owner. WHITE MINISTER TO HAITI. Last Saturday, President Hoover appointed Atty. Norman Armour (white) of New Jersey minister to the black republic, Haiti. As if we have not had a plenty of this sort of thing during his incumbency of office, Apparently the President and his leaders of the Republican party feel that he can be re-elected without the Afro-American vote, so necessary to Republican success in a number of northern states. They doubtless feel that he will be given the electoral vote/ of several southern states and therefore are independent of any loss they may sustain in the north as a result of a defection of Afro-American voters. About all Mr. Hoover has done, of concern to our people since he became President, seems to stamp him, beyond all question, as a "illy-white." We are sorry! No President we have had in the last fifty years has gone to the extent that he has to impress Afro-American voters with the fact that he, as a candidate for the Presidency, is absolutely independent of our vote. Of course, this remains to be seen. WORLD'S "FASTEST HUMANS." Speaking of the Olympic games The Lakewood (O.) Post said editorially in its last issue: "Such superb sportsmen and athletes as Tolan and Metcalfe should make prejudiced whites take a back seat." Not only a "back seat" but it ought to make them sit up and take notice of the fact that their old stereotyped slurring and slighting references, to Afro-Americans who win championships in athletic contests of one kind and another, are not only positively insulting but also a distressing reflection upon the boasted fairness of American sportsmen and citizenship. The Post's editorial, "Negro Victory," which will be found elsewhere in this paper and from which the above quoted lines are taken, is exceptional in these days and times because of its fairness. --- It isn't, as some persons think, that our people of Texas are so anxious to vote in Democratic primaries that they are fighting in the courts of that state and in the U. S. Supreme court for the right or privilege of so doing, but it is because they want all rights and privileges of American citizenship whether they exercise them or not. They want to know that they can do so whenever they wish to, in common with all other groups or classes of Americans. Possibly the strongest endorsement of sane radicalism among our people, spoken in recent years, came from Atty. C. F. Stradford at the recent meeting in Indianapolis of the National Bar Association, and he is right in what he says, too. See Indianapolis letter elsewhere in this LESSONS FOR LYNCHERS By the Leader of the Massie Hawaiian Lynch-Murder — Mrs. Fortescue Writes of That Terrible Affair. New York.—"Lessons for Lynchers" would be the proper title for the series of articles just concluded in "Liberty," and written by Mrs. Grace Fortescue, characteristic southern head of the lynching party that murdered the native Hawaiian, Kahahawai, last January, in that country. Every sentence, every word is calculated to stir up racial hatred and to prove" that dark-skinned native natural-born etics. The phrasing of the articles is familiar. The words are those of every southern Lynch-murderer. Here are a few: "His ugly black face" (Mrs. Masie, her daughter, didn't think so, it is said), referring to Kahahawal. The Hawaiians are neither black nor ugly. "The white man's most sacred tenets." "The white man's standard," etc., etc. And Mrs. Fortescue's conclusion: "Ethnologically and traditionally, white and yellow and brown are races apart." But it is Fortescue's special task. Fortescue makes the most revealing statement of all. "Above all, we owe our freedom to the courage, the understanding, the wisdom of one man in Washington." Who Mrs Fortescue? President Hoover or the secretary of the navy? It must have been one of them. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no desh in man's obdurate 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 sin. 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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1932 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 Hon. 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. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, may be used as a penalty for an act momentarily or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which assault is made (15.1.4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a manual salary, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12.5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars for such lawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of the person so lynched, nor subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter.

An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is bad, to indemnify the commissioners of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and against it in favor of the legal representation of a person killed or seriously injured by such friend of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) JACK, MY MOTHER IS GOING TO STAY WITH US FOR A WHILE SHE CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE A BIG MOMMER TO ME 135 Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county with the lynching to protect such prisoner or disurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Sec. 12940. Whoever, by 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 regards of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and the son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. AN OPPORTUNITY!

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 hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) - NNU Service. Washington has been host to many thousands of visitors during the celebration of the George Washington bicentennial, the historic Potomac river, gateway to the National Capital from the sea, also has enjoyed the spotlight. Interest in the Potomac is on the march instantly one realizes that it is the river of Washington; of Washington the man, the greatest figure of our national history, and of Washington the city, the capital of the nation, the focus of our national administration, and the city of our history in the making. And our interest is accelerated as we realize that the old river presents other great names of celebrities who lived on the plantations along its shores: the Lords Baltimore, who planted the first settlement of Maryland, near the river's mouth; the Calverts, the Lees, the Carters, the Hansons, the Stones, the Fitzhughs, the Masons, the Mercers and the Fairfaxes. There seem to be several Potomacs. There is fresh-water and there is tidalwater Potomac. The former is all that water coming down from the mountains and over the falls above Washington city. That river is soon lost in the brine of tidalwater Potomac, which extends from the point of mingling to the mouth of the river, at Chesapeake bay. Here strong tides rise and fall, sometimes three feet above the wharves of Washington. Here, too, the water is briny. It is so impregnated with the salt of the sea that, even at the head of tidwater, steamer captains dare not introduce it into the boilers of their ships. This briny reach is really not a river; it is an arm of the Chesapeake. Then there is the surface Potomac and a secret river hidden in its depths. The surface waters express themselves in broad reaches between banks of engaging loveliness. They vary in width from one to seven miles. The hidden river is often only a few hundred feet wide, and unseen it serpentines its way back and forth from one shore to the other in a way that teases and often wrecks the inexperienced mariner. It is called "the channel." Up it ocean-going vessels of considerable size come to the docks of Washington city. How to See the River. It is in Tidewater Potomac that one finds the river of the greater interest, the Potomac of history, of the landings, of the old plantations, of the celebrities who have made it one of the most distinguished rivers in America. Curiously, the better way to see this river is not to start where it appears to begin, and so float down on its currents to where it ends in merging with the bay; but rather to start where it ends and be carried up by its tides and by that interesting tide of its history which entered here, at its mouth, three hundred years ago. The story of this trip up the broad reaches of Tidewater Potomac is actually a composite of many trips, by many kinds of land and water craft, but here, for brevity's sake, reduced to its simplest terms without the inconvenience of delays, whether of boat schedules or motor trails, without the disappointments of weather or of the many futile side trips which anyone must make in order to find out where are the points of genuine interest and how to reach them. Approaching the mouth of the river, one speculates on such questions as, who was the first white man who ever came into it, where did the river get its name, and where in it is the dividing line between Maryland and Virginia? The last question troubled the dwellers on both shores for more than 250 years. Then, in 18:7, a commission of arbitration finally placed the waters of the river wholly within the boundary of Maryland. The name Potomac is Indian. The first explorers found a tribe of that name living on the river's shores; but one cannot be quite sure whether the tribe took its name from the river or the river took its name from the river. It is now generally accepted that Potomac is the Indian word for Traders; hence the Potomac river means the River of the Traders. Who First Entered It? Who was the first white man to enter the river is a question less easily answered. At one time a claim was set up, based on "a runic inscription" said to have been found below the falls, for "an Icelandic widow buried here in 1061." Rather more credence has been given to the claim that Spanish explorers, known to have come into the Chesapeake between 1565 and 1570, sailed up the Potomac as far as Occoquan. The contention is based largely on the appearance of the place named Axacan in the Spanish chronicles and its assumed identity with Occoquan. There is better evidence that an English explorer may have been in the river before 1585, for its existence at least was known at that date, as revealed by a map published in London in that year, on which Tidewater Potomac, though unnamed, was sketched in with recognizable lines. But how did the map-maker get his sketch—at first hand, on a visit to the river, or at second hand, from description from the Indians? Sailing into the mouth of the river, one is reminded of the first white man definitely known to have sailed into these waters. On the left, the south lip of the mouth of the Potomac, is Smiths Point, named for the original authenticated white pioneer here, the gallant explorer, Capt. John Smith. Founding of Maryland A few years after Smith, in 1634, there came into the river two other ships, the Ark and the Dove, with Lord Baltimore's colonists to found Maryland on the north side of the Potomac. Even now one can feel these pioneers' cautious apprehension in an unknown wilderness inhabited by savages. They did not at first trust themselves to the mainland; they sailed up the river for 31 miles, until they came to a small island, now called Blackistone island, where an attacking enemy might at least be seen. Here Lord Baltimore's brother, Leonard Calvert, left the Ark, and in the Dove and another boat, procured in Virginia, sailed up into the narrower reaches, where, at Piscataway, just opposite the hilly banks where later rose Mount Vernon, he found the Indian emperor, with whom he wished to discuss a site for his colony's capital. Calvert found only Indians on the river. Their occasional towns were indicated by the clearings in the forests, where they raised their corn and tobacco. In one such town dwelt those Potomac Indians who gave their name to the river or perhaps took it from the river. It is not known precisely what that imperial party said to Calvert, but obviously it was something so poisonous that the newcomer couldn't settle far enough from that Indian. He returned to his ships and sailed them into the last inlet on the northern side of the river, just ten miles above its mouth. This beautiful body of water he called St. Marys River, and there he began to build his capital, which he called St. Marys City. Within 35 years St. Marys City was laid out with streets and a square, and in addition to its frame and log structures, it had more than 60 brick buildings, which included the statehouse, the governor's mansion, churches, public offices, private dwellings, and commercial buildings. St. Marys Has Disappeared. Today not one of the buildings of old St. Marys survives. The visitor finds grain and tobacco fields, a few green pastures, and a graveyard where the first Maryland lawmakers sat in the midst of the sprightly colonial life of their capital city. Where the plow has turned over the soil, or where a well or cellar has been dug, a few bricks have come to the surface, the only physical vestige of the brick capital of 300 years ago. Those from Maryland's first statehouse have been used in building little Trinity church on a part of the site of the vanished city. Westmoreland county, Virginia, on the Potomac, has the distinction unrivaled by any other in America, for it was the birthplace of three Presidents of the United States—the first, the fourth and the fifth—George Washington, James Madison, and James Monroe. Here, in their many ramifications and over a period of more than 250 years, lived the great Carter, Lee and Washington families. Here, though few survive, were 'some of the finest mansions of colonial America. The distinction of social and intellectual life in Westmoreland before the Revolution earned it the title of Athens of Virginia. Every ship toils its bell as it passes the Mount Vernon mansion with the eight slender columns, surrounded by its village of minor domestic buildings, high on the Virginia bank, for it is the home and last resting place of George Washington, his and our Mount Vernon. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. PETTICOATS ONCE MORE IN FASHION Those Like Grandma Wore Are Again in Vogue. Petticoats are in vogue this season more than they were last summer. Most of them are tailored, but some are as lace and frilly as their old-fashioned forbears. Get out your tintypes and take a hint from your grandmother's "Sunday best" garb, carry a fan and wear a feather boa, and you'll be among the most fashionably dressed of modern women. Evening gowns are especially reminiscent of long ago with little puffed sleeves, billowing skirts, all flounced and beffred, and sashes with big bows. Organdie, mousseline and chiffon are stuffs wherewith these dreams of the romantic era are made to come true. Crossbar organe, particularly, carries out the idea of the season. White is the predominating color and it is enlivened with huge sashes of satin or taffetta in summer shades. FORMAL GINGHAM By CHERIE NICHOLAS Gingham goes formal. There's nothing swankier to dine and dance in than a gay little frock of plaid gingham made up as formally as if it were satin or silk or any one of the more pretentious materials. These audacious little ginghams sally forth fashioned with the new and very smart floor-length skirts, and necklines cut somewhat decollete, tiny puff sleeves and all the other details which distinguish the dressy dress. With these "partyfied ginghams," sashes of sheerest bright velvet are worn, and sometimes a bow of the velvet decorates the bodice at the shoulder in lieu of a corsage bouquet. FLASHES FROM PARIS New looking laces are being shown. Ostrich trimmed jackets are worn with low-cut gowns. White toques in both Lyors and transparent velvet are popular. Shawls re-appear in the evening mode, both fringed and the old-fashioned lace types. Coats lined with big foulard handkerchiefs and matching narrow scarfs are smart. Accessories Never So Important to Fashion Important to Fashion Probably never before in the history of Paris fashions has a hat angle meant so much. Probably never before has the handle of a handbag had so much to contribute to a woman's good looks and charm. Carry your bag the wrong way, put your belt a shade too low and you spoil the loveliest frock. Bags, belts, shoes and hats have become so important to fashion that practically every important dressmaker in Paris plans them along with each dress. Schiaparelli and Worth are among those designers who have special shops for the little odds and ends of a wardrobe--showing how hats should be worn, folding a handkerchief a new way, tying a scarf in a new manner. Crisp Organdie Suit Latest Style Novelty Organdie tailleurs—crisp little suits built on the lines of a tailored suit—are one of this season's style novelties. They are made of sheer flowered organdies with a sleeveless frock having the lines of a simple dinner gown and a hipbone jacket. Since their skirts are reasonably short—about ten inches from the floor—designers offer them as a smart costume, ready for both tea and dinners. SATURDAY. AUGUST 20. 1932 'DOWN IN FRONT' IS CRY OF NEW HATS Early Fall Showings Indicate Style Changes. Down in front. That's the cry of the Paris milliners just now, judging from the first examples of fall hats that have arrived on the last boat. Hats are to be worn straight again, pulled down over the eyes in many instances. And front trimming is in again. The hat-band with a bow front and center will mark the fall's newest sailors. And ruby, wine and grape red tones are the last whisper in the new velvet hats for fall. An important trend, noted among the latest arrivals from Paris, is the large velvet bow in front, catching up the turned-back brim on a velvet hat. Many of these are in two tones of the favorite wine colors—grape-red and crushed raspberry, for instance. It sounds like a sheer, but it isn't. There are a great many small shapes with turned-up cuffs or brims which dip to a point in front. Touques are draped away from the back, toward the side-front. Some of the brimmed styles have brims turned up in back and down in front. The beret toque of felt or velvet worn pulled over the eyes, cap fashion, illustrates the new trend. Hemp—you know, the stuff that ropes are made of—is one of the newest hat trimmings. FRANCE KNITTED DRESS Color relation as expressed throughout the costume has grown to be a very vital theme in the scheme of things. The prevailing sentiment is for accessories which are a perfect color match. This movement takes in every item from head to foot. The idea is carried out to a nicety in the ensemble pictured. The eyelet embroidered dress which is done in a handsome open-work patterning is in brown and white. The grosgrain ribbon beret is brown as is the ribbon belt and the swatch of ribbon at the neckline. The kid pumps are brown and the hosiery is the same brown, only it appears much lighter on account of its sheerness. The fancy braided strap across the instep adds interest to this pump, which is an exponent of that which is smart in way of street and afternoon footwear. STYLE NOTES Crinkly rough crepe is still in the lead. Soft full sleeve is a feature of the newer modes. Designers use wide girdles to give the modish high waistline effect. Latest styling places emphasis on criss-cross and surplice fastenings. Flower leis and flower sprays bordering part of the decollete enhance many an evening frock. Sleeves Continue to Press Their Importance Sleeves are important matters these days. Many of the new dresses depend entirely upon their sleeves for silhouette. There is a general tendency in all the fashion houses to keep dress lines simple and flowing and to leave all accents of width or narrowness to the sleeves. Among those who favor widened shoulders, many are following new means of obtaining width. Newer dresses avoid the obvious lines of extra gathers at the shoulder lines, or rolls of padding or ruffles at the shoulder seams. Newer methods are to put fullness into the sleeves just below the shoulder line, by cutting, draping and incrustations. Copper Earrings The woman who has natural style can wear the new copper jewelry. It is a bit bizarre, but when worn by the right type, very effective. 1960 Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It!
