Dear Mr. Smith:—Permit me to communicate these feelings of appreciation for the very splendid services rendered us by The Gazette in its fifty years of usefulness, fighting always for our rights and privileges. We are very grateful to you as the领事. We thank you for the good that men do, lives long after them." May we hope that The Gazette may go down in our age as an immortal, in memory ever of you. Wilberforce, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I wish to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of your paper. You have done a great work in these years and my hope is that you may be spared many years to continue your good work. I am publishing in The Christian Recorder your letter on, "Our 50th Year." May God bless you and keep you in health. With every good wish, I am Very Sincerely Yours. R. R. Wright, Jr., President, Wilberforce University. Cleveland, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor:—Congratulations on the fiftieth anniversary of The Gazette. It is no small achievement to conduct any business continuously over a period of fifty years; but when that business is journalism and the publication survived without missing an issue through the vicissitudes of the fluctuating economic conditions of the past half century, then congratulations certainly are in order. Here is wishing the "Old Reliable" another fifty years of service to the human race. Sincerely yours, Gordon H. Simpson Exec. Sec. N. A. A. C. P. local branch. Cleveland, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Friend Harry:—It is to me a source of the deepest and profoundest regret that I was vacationing at Idlewild, Mich., and did not know Chas. S. Smith. (As he appeared when appointed over 30 years ago.) until today that on Aug. 25 The Gazette entered upon its fifteenth year of continuous publication. I was a reporter for your paper 40 years ago and at the same time secretary of the Onward Foraker club (of which you were president). Although I am somewhat late on account of being absent from the city for three weeks. I feel that I would be amiss W. EDWARD FARRISON An Ohioan Appointed Head of the Department of English in a North Carolina College for Women. Greensboro, N. C.—Beginning in September, 1932, the department of English at Bennett College for Women will be directed by W. Edward Farrison, formerly of Orangeburg, S. C., but now of Columbus, O. M. Farrison was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts at U. in 1926, and with the degree of Master of Arts at the U. of Pa., in 1928. Since he has taken a post graduate course in speech at the U. of M., and has studied in the graduate school of O. S. U. For two years, after he received his first degree, he was a part-time instructor in English at Lincoln U. and most recently has been acting head of the department of English and director of the work in public speaking and debating at W. Va. State College. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Euel Lee, farm hand whose conviction on a "faked" charge of murder was reversed by the Maryland Count of Appeals, will be tried again at Towson, Md., Sept. 26. Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the nine Scottboro boy-victims, who is on a tour of Europe, was again arrested in Belgium, last week, by police, and sent out of the country. Work on the filming of the moving picture, "Black and White," for which 22 Afr-Americans went to Rwanda, his aro-maroon, will begin in the spring of next year. Meantime, each receives $300 a month. Rev. Jasper Lewis of the "House of Prayer" of S. Statesville, N. C., was run out of the church and the Rwanda by his members after the reading of an amorous note said to have been written to him by one of the female members of his congregation, a girl who acted as church secretary. James A. Munday of Chicago suggests the early performance of the grand opera, "Aida," with the following all Afro-American cast: Abbie Mitchell of N. Y. City as "Aida," Marian Anderson of Philadelphia as "Ammeris," Geo. Garner of Chicago as "Radames," Jules Bledsoe of N. Y. city as "Amonasro," John Burdette of Chicago as the "High Priest" and Paul Robeson of N. Y. city as the "King." Last week The Cleveland Gazette completed its 50th year of publication, without having missed a single issue, and with the same editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith. What priceless service this paper and this editor have rendered to the race! Ohioans are especially indebted to Harry Smith, the long-time forensic service he has given to his people. As a legislator, he introduced the Ohio Civil Rights bill and the Ohio Mob Violence Act, which became laws of the state and are models for other states. He has ever fought segregation and "jim-crowism," and race proscription of every kind. Negroes of Ohio have a better chance because Harry Smith and The Gap have won eighty-five years. We congratulate Editor Smith and his splendid publication—Dayton (O.) Forum, John H Rives, Editor. in my duty if I did not extend to you my hearty congratulations for having published "The Old Reliable" Gazette all those years, not missing a single week. This I know is true for I have been a subscriber for 40 years and never missed a paper. Again I extend hearty congratulations, and I pray that you will live for many years to come and that "The Old Reliable" Gazette will be published every week on time, as usual, until time shall be no more. Very sincerely yours. Charles S. Smith. (Former Secretary to several Directors of Public Safety of this city and not a relative of the editor.—Editor.) SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A PARDON OR PAROLE?

The ROUNDER Miles Heights village, annexed to the city last winter, has an Afro-American Democratic club with Richard H. Lincoln as president and organizer. It claims 45 members and is called the Miles Heights Roosevelt-White-Bulkley club. James Gary, sec. and Sam B. Shelton, treas. Geo. C. or G. Corinth Lacey sure pulled a "Rodgers", last week, in that 17th ward Democratic organization job pay-percentage expose. Like Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader of Ward 12, he made the mistake of promptly pleading guilty. Only Lacey in addition made another mistake in giving to the public the Boss Gongwer endorsement of what the Civil Service Commission characterizes as an illegal act under the city charter. This latter forbids the indirect or direct assessment of subholders for any purpose he receives. It looks as if it is necessary for Lacey to do another "Rodgers", that is retract his damaging statements as far as possible in order to get back into the good graces of Mayor Miller and the Democratic organization. The Democratic leader in the 17th Ward (Lacey) said he had been able to place 42 of his constituents in the service of the city. Not bad! It is these individuals or some of them, and others, who are said to have paid 25 cents a month in the form of dues to the 17th Ward Democratic club because of their jobs.

This case went through the Ohio courts and then to the U. S. Supreme Court. Fleming has been a model prisoner, is employed at the central warehouse and is housed in the honor dormitory where he is extremely popular among the prison- Thomas W. Fleming. ors. Clad in prison gray trousers and a blue cotton shirt, freshly laundered, he appeared in court, Wednesday, accompanied by Mrs. Fleming. He was accompanied from the penitentiary by a guard but lost him some time during the proceedings. After the court adjourned, he stood talking to Mrs. Fleming and Martin for a few minutes, then started hunting for his custodian. "Where's my guard?" he asked of Chief Clerk Dan J. Bonzo when the latter emerged from the court room. Bonzo represented Warden Thomas at the hearing. "Oh, you can come along with me." Bonzo answered. NO "JIM-CROW" SCHOOL For Manila, Says "Young Teddy Roosevelt," Governor General of the Phillipines, and That Settles It. Manila, P. I.—Race prejudice, which had made headway in the Manila Central school, was given a dead end with No. Go. there Roosevelt issued an order that be no color-line and that Filipinos and other races should be admitted in all institutions on a plane of perfect equality. Fool-American teachers in the school had drawn a color-line on Filipinos and other races because the school was largely attended by American-born boys and girls, or the children of Americans. Gov Gen. Roosevelt's order read as follows: "It has come to my attention that entrance to the Central school is based upon race. I believe this to be fundamentally unsound. In the expenditure of public monies no racial lines should be drawn. I therefore believe that all racial discriminatory entrance qualifications be eliminated."

The progressive women of the 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th and 19th ward, the 19th ward, the chairship of Mrs. Della Wilson, have organized one of the largest political clubs in the city, the Ingalls-Bolton-Norton Republican club which meets every Friday evening, at 2183 E. 31st St. Men have been permitted to join the club, the officers of which are: Mrs. Della Wilson, pres; Mrs L.

Many people have forgotten and many others have never known that Senator John P. Green, many years ago, introduced and secured the enactment of a bill that created "Labor Day" in Ohio. The Senator is 87 years of age and still practicing law. He is still our only Ohio State Senator A TIMELY PROTEST. Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League has very properly protested to the national officers of Boy Scouts of America against the jailing of two of our lads on "fake" warrants with false charges of drunkenness, by Boy Scouts in the "boys' week" of the 200th anniversary of Salisbury, Md. This was the only part allotted our children of Salisbury in the celebration, and it was obviously for the purpose of stigmatizing our people as being criminally inclined. The league demands an open disavowal of this reactionary action of children of the other race under the guidance of the organization, but will hardly get it. And yet the protest was the proper thing, and timely. We allow entirely too much of this sort of thing to go on and many other public insults given, in different sections of the country, without even a word of protest. This fact undoubtedly accounts in a large measure for the growing occasional insulting "lapes" we have been getting over the radio and elsewhere in recent months. WHY THAT LIGHTNING CHANGE Some of our esteemed contemporaries seem at a loss to understand "Col." Roscoe Conkling Simmons' recent "lightning change" in politics all in a few months. He was one of the severest critics of President Hoover and the Hoover administration. All at once—about the time of the recent Republican National convention in Chicago, Roscoe's hometown—the "Colonel" about-faced and was permitted to second the nomination of President Hoover as a candidate for a second term in the White House. With one of his "cold storage" speeches, the "Colonel" caught the convention and an engagement to campaign for Hoover which he is now filling at so much per speech. In his political itinerary the "Hon. Roscoe Conkling Simmons has been scheduled by the Republican National Committee for "The 1932 Republican Campaign opening for northeastern Ohio at Jefferson, Saturday, Sept. 17, 32." The printed program of the forthcoming Jefferson, Ohio, affair political announces that "Mr. Simmons comes here under the direction of the National Republican committee." So now, confreres of the race press, you know why the "Hon. Roscoe" made the recent "lightning change" from anti to pro Hoover. That "the greatest colored orator in the United States" (according to the aforementioned program) is not "taken" very seriously by the masses of our people throut the country, where he is known, seems to be unknown to "Postmaster General Walter Brown and Ohio delegates" (to the recent Republican National convention) and to the Republican National Committee under whose direction (the latter) and by whose "special request" (the former), the "Hon. Roscoe" "Cackling" Simmons will orate at Jefferson, Saturday, Sept. 17, 32. DU BOIS "GONE JIM-CROW." In the September Crisis, Editor Wm. E. B. Du Bois suggests that Ohio take over Wilberforce University in connection with the latter's state (C. N. & I) department and operate it as a "jim-crow" institution. This it will never do, nor will Ohio Afro-Americans ever permit any such fool thing. Wilberforce as a state "jim-crow" institution would close O. E. U. and every other first class institution of learning in the state of Ohio to our people. Du Bois surely must be getting doty in his old age. What should be done for Wilberforce University, including its state department, is to move it into some southern state where such an institution is needed. This we would have advocated years ago, but for the fact that the state's financial assistance thru the state (C. N. & I.) department was too large and valuable for our people of Ohio to lose. It is about all that we get from the state's treasury. Du Bois' statement that Ohio established a "jim-crow" institution in providing for the state (C. N. & I.) department at Wilberforce is not true because the department is not always has been open to students of all races or classes and has at times had students of other races or classes. Under its own laws, it is impossible for Ohio to legally establish a "jim-crow" institution of any kind. MORE "JIM-CROW." According to the Cleveland correspondence of a Chicago race paper, Mrs. Hazel M. Walker and the Hon. Perry B. Jackson of this city have apparently been inveigled into endorsing a "jim-crow" home for our fortunate girls who appear in court for the first time. Such an institution is being urged by the Amanda Smith Shelter House Association (a very few of our people), the primever and president of which seems to be Mrs. Scott Thompson of E. 93d St. Of course, the N. A. A. C. P. local branch and about all the other really sensible and loyal members of the race in this city brand the move as dangerous and will fight it to the bitter end. As Governor General Theodore Roosevelt of the Philippines well said, recently, in driving "jim-crow" from public institutions there: "In the expenditure of public monies no racial lines should be drawn." This we recommend in the strongest possible manner to the careful consideration of Welfare Director Bernice S. Pyke and others. Refuse the A. S. S. H. A. the use of any public funds, Mrs. Pyke, and you will get rid of them instanter. There is positively no need of or good excuse for any such color-line home in Cleveland. They can be cared for in city or county institutions along with and as are such girls of other races or groups in this community. If the members of the A. S. S. H. A. must have a "jim-crow" home of any kind, let them go on back "down home" (in the South) and get it. U. S. SLAVERY. As the result of a protest recently registered with President Hoover by the N. A. A. C. P., the war department is making a second investigation in a year into the unfair treatment of our laborers on federal flood control projects in the Mississippi valley. Our workers have been beaten and are paid the lowest wages, ranging from ten to twelve cents an hour with fourteen hours' work daily, seven days a week. Contractors, evidently southerners or southern sympathizers, are doing the work for the government. The "joker" in the investigation is the fact that Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley of Arizona has instructed Brig. Gen. Hurley D. Ferguson of Vicksburg, Miss., president of the Mississippi River Commission, to do the investigating, THAT SETTLES IT! If anything more were needed, it is the fact that Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown, chief of engineers, another southerner, rather minimizes the reports of mistreatment of workers filled by the N. A. A. C. P. Then, too, Maj. Gen. Brown explains the low wage scale by saying: "It is the policy of the government to conform to wage scales prevalent in the communities of operation," meaning the South of course, and that "the long hours are excused on the ground that the levee work is of an emergency nature." One would think that officials of a great government like ours would be ashamed to permit any of its officers or contractors to so take advantage of any group of its defenseless citizens. Lord, have mercy! Perry Howard, our Republican national committeeman from Mississippi, is quoted as saying, recently: "It should be understood by now that the majority of the 'Negroes' in the Republican party come from the South." Yes, Perry, but they are in the North where most of them can and do vote! Those who remain in the South (like Howard) are voteless and naturally do not count on election days. Therefore, are not considered as you would like to have them. Hon. Harry C. Smith is receiving national congratulations on the entrance of his famous paper, "The Cleveland Gazette," upon its fifteenth year of continuous publication. It has ever been a stanch defender of our rights, ever a relentless foe of "jim-crowism." — Cincinnati (O.) Union; W. P. Dabney, Editor. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1932. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION 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 uphold 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: MOBS. 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. Pension 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.

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, the county was compulsory negligence on the man or child of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse 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 or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable allike to all citizens and regardless of race or nationality, the payment of 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 person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is 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!

A WEALTHY MAN NAMED SIMPSON TOOK A JOURNEY TO A LAND, WHERE THE WEATHER WAS REPUTED TO BE ELEGANT AND GRAND, second; Lonnie Hawthorne, bartone and Charles Powell, bass for the C. M. and I. quartet. Bishop W. E. Holman, E. 87th St., manager. Maceo and Carol Thomas, de luxe dancers and entertainers, were in the city, a few hours recently, en route west and called on his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Joe T. Thomas, E. 40th St. A few days ago Judge Samuel H. Silbert filed with the board of elections petitions containing 65,000 names, Republicans, Democrats and independents. He needed only 2750 signatures to his nominating petition. Many of our most prominent residents were among the signers. The judge has been in public service for 21 years, serving as police prosecutor, the municipal and common pleas courts. He is the only judge in the state to ever lead the judicial ticket at four separate elections. He is popular among our people because of practical demonstrations of true friendship. In submitting the report of the fact-finding committee of the National Bar Association at its recent meeting in Indianapolis, Atty, Selmo C. Glenn of this city called attention to the "lack of co-operation our lawyers received from preachers and doctors" and said this would not be the case if they had a "real organization fighting every step of the way to force our own to patronize us." The Gazette feels that it is within the power of attorneys to make "force" unnecessary and that the important lawyers the patronage they feel they are entitled to from our people. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and its attorney have for some time had the case of Rudolph Burns who met an untimely death while in bathing at Gordon beach, many weeks ago, and apparently there have been no favorable results. The organization attorney is an office associate of Councilman Clayborne Wonder if that has anything to do with the unfortunate delay of action in the Burns' case? The Gazette would like to know. Prime Sport News **Jason Tallor** A quarter of U. F.C. players will compete in Germany, Hungary and Austria, this fall.

It will return to New York about Oct. 15. **"Gorilla" Breaks Foe's Ribs.** Davenport, la.—"Gorilla" Jones of Akron defeated Kid Leonard, East Moline youngster, in a hard-fought, Leonard's buttling punches caused Jones to back away during the early rounds, but he came back near the finish to have Leonard on the verge of a knockout. Leonard suffered three broken ribs in the sixth round. Watson and Bogas, star southpaws, twirled the Mason & Sons, independent club, to a double victory in the stadium, Sunday. The former halted the Cleveland Giants, 5 to 1, scattering the six hits he allowed. Bogas held the Cleveland A. B. C's to four safe blows as he coasted in, 6 to 1. **Japan Seeks Tolan.** New York City.—As announced, several weeks ago, in The Gazette, Japan wants Eddie Tolan to coach its Olympic runners. Shortly after he won both sprinting races in the Olympic games, Tolan, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, received two Japanese offers. One was in the form of an invitation to tour Japan and race. The other was in the form of the next four years there coaching the Nippeon athletes. Tolan is carefully considering both offers. Acceptance of the coaching offer would automatically make him a professional and end his career as a spinner. Ralph Metcalfe, second fastest runner in the world, and one of the heroes of the Olympic Games recently held in California, is one of the brightest students of his class in psychology. Therefore, when Dean Cromwell, Southern California coach, wrote a syndicated article several weeks ago predicting that the spinner could not run 100 yards in: 109.5-10 legitimately, and that he had not defeated anyone of consequence all year. Metcalfe merely smiled at the unfavorable comment and made the following observation to friends: "I don't believe those coaches are sincere when they talk that way. I think they are just trying to work a little bit of psychology and break me a 'b' in psychology lately. I made a 'b' in psychology lately. Metcalfe showed Dean Cromwell that any effort to make him lose confidence in himself, or to use the American slang expression, "get his goat," was futile by scoring two sprint victories in the final tryouts in the life of which Wykoff, Southern California's hope, and other runners were eliminated.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. IRAQ, where American explorers recently discovered a complete historic township, dating from the early fourth millennium, is the modern name for the traditional Garden of Eden, historically known as Mesopotamia. Many historians hold that somewhere in Iraq—in the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers—is to be found the cradle of civilization. Upon the breaking up of the Turkish empire following the World war Mesopotamia became a British mandate which was erected into the Arab kingdom of Iraq with a Mohammedan prince from Mecca upon the throne. Such is the latest form assumed by the Phoenix among nations. In the last six thousand years Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Persian, Greek, Roman and Saraqen civilizations have flourished in Mesopotamia, each rising from the ashes of its predecessor. The great irrigation works which, throughout the centuries, had kept the Tigris-Euphrates valley green, rich and flourishing were destroyed by invading Mongols and allowed to decay by heedless Turks. The Garden of Eden became a treeless desert, except for a fw date palms along the river banks. Cities like Baghdad and Basra fell into decay and seemed far approaching the fate which had overtaken Ur and Babylon, where jackals howl above a lonely waste. Then followed a rebirth during the throes of the great war. Once more boats crowded the swift and treacherous reaches of the Tigris. Once more the bazaars of Baghdad and Basra and Mosul hummed with world traffic. Marauding desert robber tribes were kept in perpetual peace by airplanes humming over their remote villages. Sanitary regulations and electric lighting made town and country both more safe and more healthful. Ice factories and soda water establishments helped alleviate summer days of 120 degrees in the shade. Levees were built to keep the flooding rivers within their banks and slowly bit by bit work was begun on repairing irrigation works and building railroads. Thus was modern Iraq born. The new kingdom under British mandate embraces the valley of the Tigris-Euphrates between the Arabian desert on one side and the Persian uplands on the other. To the northwest lies the French mandate of Syria and to the north the Kurdish highlands of Turkey, Southward stretches the Persian gulf, the country's salt water outlet to the wide world. Within this strip of territory are barely 3,000,000 people where once flourished a population denser than that of modern Belgium. What Baghdad Is Like. There are three principal cities: Mosul, of oil fame, is in the north; Baghdad, the capital in the central part; and the important port of Basra in the south. Of the three Baghdad perhaps is most famous. From the deck of a Tigris steamer Baghdad looms up boldly, its splendid skyline of domes and minarets reminding one of some "Midway" of World's fair memory. An odd pontoon bridge connects the two parts of the city, separated by the yellow Tigris. On the west bank is the old town, inclosed by date and orange groves. From here the Baghdad-Mosul railway starts on its long run across the trackless desert. East of the river, on the Persian side, is "new" Baghdad, with its government offices, barracks, consulates, prisons, etc. Beyond, as far as the eye can reach in every direction, stretches the vast, flat, treeless empty plain of Mesopotamia—a region once more populous than Belgium. The traveler is paddled ashore from the steamer in a "goofah," a queer, coraclelike craft in use here since Jonah's day. A goofah is woven from willows about six feet in diameter, circular and basket-shaped, and is coated outside with blitum. Some say Moses was cut adrift in one of these goofahs. Old City. Mostly in Ruins. Another strange craft at Baghdad is the "kelek", a Kurdish invention. The kelek is a raft made of inflated goat skins, held together by poles and covered with a platform of straw mats. These keleeks come down to Baghdad in hundreds from Mosul, bringing wool, pottery, grain and skins. The present custom house at Baghdad is a wing of the old palace of Harum-al-Rashid; yards of scrawling Arabic characters, cut in marble panels, still adorn its historic walls. Baghdad arteries of traffic are mere alleys, often so narrow that two donkeys cannot pass. Once Turkish soldiers tried to move artillery through Baghdad. The streets were so narrow the horses had to be unhitched, and men moved the guns about by hand. a great wall encircles Baghdad, with guarded gateways, as in medieval days. Flat-roofed, huddled Moorish houses, many almost windowless and each surrounding its own open court, are a distinct feature of the older parts of Baghdad. On these flat roofs Arabs spend the summer nights with tom-toms, flutes, water-pipes, and dancing women. Facing the river, removed from the Arab town, are built the imposing foreign consulates, mercantile offices, and the sumptuous homes of rich Jews, Armenians, Greeks and Syrians—the men who make New Baghdad. But the Baghdad of All Babaa's day, with the splendor of Aladdin's enchanted age, is gone forever. The palaces, the mosques, and minarets are mostly in ruins. Even the tomb of lovely Lady Zobedla, favorite wife of Harun-al-Rashid, is tumbled down and decayed. It is into modern monuments to New Baghdad—into roads, bridges, public buildings, irrigation works, army organization, dredging the Tigris, etc. that the Young Turks put their money. Modern Baghdad is in safer hands: no dissinated rokyen guards its gates. Sober, clear-headed men, drilled in the best schools of modern Europe, able to hold their own anywhere, administer its affairs. As late as 1830 the Tigris overflowed its banks, swept through Baghdad, and drowned 15,000 people in one night. Till lately Baghdad, more than any other city in the Near East, has been slow to yield to Europe's influence. For centuries Baghdad kept close to the Bedouin life, under the sway of nomad customs. Even now Baghdad's famous bazaars, despite her evolution in other ways, are conducted as they were a thousands years ago. These Arab trading places have changed not one whit since Abraham's time. Here is barter and sale as Marco Polo found it, as it was in the days of the Three Wise Men who bought gifts for Bethlehem. Basra is situated on the Shatt-el-Arab, a river formed by the union of the Tigris and Euphrates. Smaller centers of importance, such as Kut and Amara, follow each other at intervals the entire length of the valley. Most of the inhabitants are Mohemmedan Arabs, though in the cities are many Jews, while in the mountainous north are settlements of Nestorian Christians dating from very early times. Araba Who Work in Factories. City Arabs have taken readily to the ways of civilization and seem glad for the chance to work in ice and cotton cloth factories, and upon engineering and public works. Much agricultural land has been reclaimed, the date palm, of which more than sixty varieties are known, being the chief product. Wheat, barley and rice are also grown, and experiments with cotton are being made. Flowers, pumpkins, and vegetables are planted in the date orchards where the palms protect tender leaves below from the scorching summer sun. These green spots are still chiefly confined to the regions of the river banks. The rest of the lower valley is swamp or treeless plain. In the spring months when snows are melting on near-by mountain ranges the Tigris and Euphrates become swollen torrents and often overflow their banks and inundate the surrounding country, just as they did in the days of Noah. The new regime is taking active steps in flood prevention by strengthening river banks in low places and damming up the flow at headwaters. There has been no serious flood since 1919 when the Tigris rose to within a foot of the level of Baghdad and the lower valley became one vast lake wherein man and beast vainly sought for safety.

Now the Time for Chic Velvet Hat BY CHARLES WYCHER WOULD ST add an unmistakable touch of chic and an air of newness to your mid-season and early fall appearance? Here's how! Women keenly alert to those subtle moves which make for good style are finding immediate appeal in the idea. That is, they are topping their flowery chiffons and afternoon prints, their pastel country club frocks and other of their dainty gowns which are too pretty to lay aside until the "frost is on the pumpkin," with perfectly stunning little velvet hats such as all Paris is wearing in restaurants, to theaters and at all smart gatherings. And if you have already acquired your "first" fall frock or suit, why of course you will be wanting to wear with it one of the new and fascinating velvet chapeau which milliners are now featuring, so as to stamp your costume with that last-minute look which all covet. Ruby is the newest color for the alluring little toques which are now gracing the style picture. For that matter, even the newest velvet sailor is apt to be in that flattering shade. However, be assured that black and white are definitely holding their own. That "touch of white" which fashion so persistently calls for is frequently supplied by the little toque or beret of twisted or braided or otherwise draped white velvet. Just to be "nifty," wear with it one of the sprightly wee white veils which flare out like a halo about the head. Perhaps you are partial to brims. If so you will find waiting to answer your bid and call attractive black velvet capelines. Decidedly shallow-crowned are these newest models. They sure do a lot for any costume in the way of topping it with style. Mil- NEW-LENGTH JACKET BJ CHEIER NICHOLAS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the definitely new suits is the three-quarter length of their jackets. It does not matter if the suit is strictly tailored or designed along soft lines, as in the model pictured, the new length is its claim to last-minute creation. The fact that the suit shown has a slenderizing straightline skirt, also that the jacket buttons up to the neck and that the sleeves are of dolman influence, establish the correctness and chic of this model for fall. liners are placing considerable emphasis on this type of hat for immediate wear. The new cuffed hats are proving just to the liking of women who seek a change from the cap-fitting little berets and toques such as have been holding the center of the stage so long, and yet do not fancy the wider brims. These little hats with a cuff are smartly in fashion at the present moment. The perky little cuff effect at the top of the picture to the left brings velvet back in truly Victorian manner. In the original it is of violet, but it will prove ever so good-looking in black for general wear. Just below this model the hat shown is of gray velvet, for gray as a millinery color is high style for fall. The velvet is in this instance handstitched and the crown and brim are made on a stiff wired crinoline frame—a very new and significant move in the realm of millinery, for it has been many a day since hats were worked on a foundation. We forgot to mention that the little violet velvet hat above described is also done over a frame. The wee toque at the top to the right is conjured of velvet which is stitched to form a checkered effect. By the way, milliners are doing all sorts of fancy stunts with velvet this season in the way of stitching, tucking, shirring and such. And now we come to the concluding number in this group—a velvet sailor, than which there is no more important type for spoken for the coming months. The model shown is a very conservative one. Some ultra sailors have amusingly shallow crowns with narrow brims worn tilted over one eye. © 1932, Western Newspaper Union. ONE-PIECE FROCKS SIMPLE IN DESIGN Simplicity is the "keynote speech" of some of the new one-piece knit frocks that are going to be much worn when the election results begin to roll in next November, says an authority, in the Kansas City Star. Monotone for the most part, these slim frocks with either short or long sleeves. One still sees the boucle suit in some of its younger moods. A rum brown boucle, made in three pieces, had a three-quarter length coat and a slim skirt, worn with a cream color fagotted (magic word, this fall) blouse. The coat has widened smartly seamed sleeves, tightly buttoned cuff bands, a pull-through scarf with ends of brown galyak and a slightly fitted waistline. The one-piece frock with the detachable high-necked cape is not to be crowded off the smart street scene this autumn. In a rich wine novelty woolen it has matching octagonal buttons tipped with silver metal that fasten the cape, trim the sleeves, and aid a deep side plait in achieving a wrap-around effect. These coat frocks, by the way, are tremendously important for early fall wear—you really should have one. New Stockings Proof Against Mosquito Bites Stockings are smarter than no stockings at all this summer. Mesh stocking are tremendously popular. But what about mosquitoes and their unpleasant little stings? The newest in hosiery ideas is the chemically treated stocking. It doesn't look any different from the stockings we're used to and you, yourself, can't detect the chemical, but the mosquito can and he makes a hasty retreat. This new length between the knees and the ankles is the smartest for summer coats whether they be of wool, silk or linen, or one of the gay new striped cottons.

OIL BURNER FACTORY TAKES ON WORKERS Home Owners Have Increasing Confidence and Are Making Additions and Improvements An increase of 10 per cent, in the number of workers at its Sinafoon, Conn., factory during the past three months, is reported by the Petroleum Heat and Power Company, manufacturer of domestic and commercial oil burners. Sales of the company for the first six months of this year are ahead of the same period of last year and, according to Morgan J. Hammers, vice president and general manager, the month of July developed, the largest sales volume for any July in the company's history. A brisk business for the Fall is expected, and the company is increasing its advertising and sales promotion efforts. The company also offers indicate, according to Mr. Hammers, that increasing; confidence is developing on the part of home owners in nearly every section of the country and home owners who improve will be made on a larger scale than any time in the last three years.

As stated in our issue of Aug. 13, '32, with the issue of Aug. 20, '32, The Gazette entered upon its fifteenth 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 has increased. How successful we have been we have 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 entire Civil rights movement was organized by 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 Rebel" was a man who opened 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 information is obtained 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 been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, and in favor of it, 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 that our friends and acquaintances, 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 our power for good. For all you have done past, past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C. Smith. Editor and Owner. New Trail line in Ohio seen Logan and Lancaster. Athens.
