Working An Old "Down Home Rack ket" Came to Grief in Police Station Destroy Forman, age 55, who produced an elaborate diploma styling him a "bishop," and Clifford Evans, age 33, holder of an equally imposing document dubbing him "very reverend doctor," were arraigned in police court, last Saturday noon, on charges of being suspicious persons. Police also brought in the paraphernalia with which he produced their miracles. Witnesses produced the thief and opened a "student" at 2326 E 400th St., where for 50 cents a man could get magic ointment rubbed on his hands that would enable him to pick the lucky numbers. Then there was a black bag that, thru an ingenius combination of compartments, produced answers to questions—for six bits—by a deft twist the bag was hung. What the "magicians" downfall, however, was some insect spray that, when sprinkled on a person's feet, made him walk right into luck. This cost a half dollar. Frank Kine of 2174 E 30th St. figured that that would be a good way to walk into a job. He walked for two days without luck, so he turned his steps toward a police station with the following: a car and Dept. after trying out the various accessories the delight of a crowded courtroom, assessed fines of 450 each along with a workhouse sentence of 59 days on Forman and Evans.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS CONCEDED IN PART AT A HEARING FINALLY GRANTED BY THE LOCAL BOARD'S EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE. Ask Mixed Faculty for Central High and Demand a Survey to Ascertain What's Wrong With the School-Mrs. Martin's Statement. The educational committee of the school board finally gave a committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch the long promised hearing, late last week, on the latter's Central High school complaint. The committee, headed by Miss Cecilia C. P. branch and that of the executives at Central had been "of touch with the community and its aspirations" and asked that an Afro-American be appointed assistant principal of the school. She also said that she had been told by one of the teachers that the curriculum of the school had to be different because of the statewide mutually. Taking exception to the findings of educational authorities who reported that Central, alone of the city's high schools, failed to measure up to the state-wide intelligence average. Miss Mitchell asked whether it might not be assumed that children who had been advanced to the high school were capable of doing such work? "There's something wrong somewhere," Miss Mitchell said. "If they are not intelligent enough to do the work of high school pupils, then maybe they shouldn't be in high schools. Maybe they should be in a school for mental deficits. We realize that if you do not have children who are capable of doing the work, they can't be expected to do very much. But if they can't do the work, how then did they get there?" Dr. Raymond P. Keesecker, also a member of the committee, argued a length that the reputation and standings of the school are down. "What we want in the school is a leadership based on a constructive appreciation of the Afro-American problem." Gordon H. Simpson, secretary of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, presented a set of six recommendations concerning administration of the school. They call for a survey of the teaching personnel "with a view MORE FELICITATIONS Elmira, N.

Other recommendations concerned liberalization of policy at Jane Addams school, Cleveland Trade school, Boston school and Fairmount Junior High school. Charles White, attorney for the local branch, said: "It seems to be taken for granted that at Central school for girls with 'know little' people." He asked that a curriculum be maintained there on a par with other high schools. Board Member Mary B. Martin declared the case "overdrawn" by the branch's representatives, expressing her belief that the faculty at Central was "doing a good piece or work with the material they have acquired to the majority of four, all Central graduates. The school has greatly retrograded since their graduation, it is claimed. Assist. Supt. Chas. H. Lake said the curriculum was the same as that of other high schools, except that German and Spanish are not taught. Lake also answered questions as to the quality of teaching by citing recent tests that showed that the progress of the children according to their talents rated high in comparison with that of other schools in the state. "One of Cleveland's biggest problems, educationally," and pledge himself to co-operate.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1932 SENATOR NORTON, We call the attention of all of our readers particularly to the letter, elsewhere in this paper, of Senator Laurence H. Norton, Republican candidate for county treasurer. Just as we anticipated, he exposes the vicious attack upon his candidacy, made in the local Democratic papers of last Saturday and since, as a result of alleged statements they claimed he made in his speech to Republicans in Lakewood, last week Friday night. Senator Norton's parents were old residents of Cleveland, noted for their friendly attitude toward our people, and he has ever been true and tried in his friendship, emulating their example. During his six or more years as a member of the Ohio State Assembly, we have had repeated and material demonstrations of this fact. He is most positively not the type of man who could make the statements attributed to him by the local Democratic press. Senator Norton is a broadminded, able and conscientious friend of our people as all know. He was drafted as a candidate for county treasurer by the leading Republicans of this community because of his splendid standing as a citizen, and will be elected in November. He did not seek the nomination. Our people must not be misled by the vicious Democratic attacks upon him but stand as a solid phalanx for his triumphant election. Norton for county treasurer should be our slogan. --- The Irish Free state and Czechoslovakia, thru their representatives in Berlin, Germany, have refused to admit to their countries Mrs. Ada Wright of Chattanooga, Tenn., mother of two of the nine Scottsboro boy-victims. This action is directed against Communism which is espousing the cause of the hapless boys and doing excellent work, too, and is not intended as a personal affront to Mrs. Wright or our people. This should be generally understood. 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, judge of 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. So the Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, has "broke out" against Republican leadership. We presume he has been railing at local Republican leadership so much in recent years he finds it easy now to attack national Republican leadership. This wouldn't be so bad, if he had something better to offer. The indirect suggestion he makes, that our people follow Democratic national leadership controlled absolutely, as it is, by southern Democracy, is bad because it would have us select the greater of the two evils to follow. --- The members of the committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, finally given a hearing, last week, by the educational committee of the school board, are entitled to a great deal of credit and praise for the progress made thus far in the matter of securing the improvement so greatly needed at Central High school. Miss Pearl Mitchell, Secretary Gordon Simpson, Atty. Chas, White and Dr. Raymond Keesecker, all members of the committee, have started a work in this city that has so many angles there is plenty of room for activity upon the part of various others of our local organizations. There is so very much to be done! We sincerely trust that they will not hostile or delay emulating the example set by this committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER Atty. Chester K. Gillespie, last week, sent a strong letter-protest to The Welfare Federation as a result of the mistreatment of our people taken to "Charity" (St. Vincent's) hospital in emergency cases. He received an immediate reply from Wm. I. Lacy, assistant director of the Federation who promised to "take up the matter immediately with the officers of the Catholic Charities" in an effort to see that proper care be given, even when comes to the doors of our hospitals." There is another side to this matter and that is the one The Rounder suggests our local organizations should look into, pronto. Find out just how badly some of our patients at Charity hospital have treated that institution. It will do good for this to be generally known among our people of this city. Appointment of Atty, Ferd Jirasan, an active Bohemian Democrat, as superintendent of the new $400,000 Portland-Outouthwaite recreational center, a job that should have been given to a local "Negro" Democrat, was to be investigated, Wednesday, by the civil service commission. The job pays $2,600 a year. Mayor Miller and the Democratic local leaders that that was too much money to pay anyone of the "handful" of local "Negro" Democrats, so gave the job to Jirsa. The alleged "investigation" was a "white-wash," as nearly everyone expected even the two of the three members of the Commission are Republicans, and one of these an "Afro" (Hon. Harry E. Davis) president of the Board of the National A. A. C. P. branch's "Central High School" discussion before a committee of the Board of Education, last week, and Mrs. Mary B. Martin's part in it. She is the Negro member of that board. Looking thru a late issue of the Cincinnati (O.) Union, The Rounder found the following, written by Editor Wendell Phillips Dahney which has reference to conditions among our people in that city like those existing in the "roaring third" police precinct of this city. It is so very good that we give it herewith: "We do not boast of what is being done to remedy these awful conditions, for we leave that to the police. Our ministers are so busy saving souls they have no time to bother about bodies. The duty of our teachers seemingly ends with the school room! Our business and professional men have no time for those who have nothing and the those who have nothing and the reputation of our race. In every big Northern city racial prejudice is increasing by leaps and bounds because the public is influenced by the ignorant, dirty, impolite thousands and not by the few dainty ladies, fashionable professionals and charity - seeking preachers." WALKER "TURNS DEMOCRAT". Asks Our Voters to Reject the G. O. P. and Says the Government Has Been "Illicitly" Used. An assault on Republican leadership was made, Sunday, by Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church, at the reopening of the church's forum. In a talk on "The Decay of Leadership in Our National Life." Dr. Walker said the only constructive national leadership in twenty years was under Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. He called President Warren G. Harding a weak man, controlled by predatory and false friends; President Calvin Coolidge, an honest man; President Warren G. Harding let the country drift into speculation," and President Herbert Hoover, a leader who "conducted the program based on national plunder of the many by the few." Continuing, he said: "With the present breakdown in our economic system, the illicit use to which government has been put becomes more and more evident." He criticized the Reconstruction Finance Corp. and the Hawley-Smoot tariff and urged the electorate generally and voters of the race in particular to use the ballot in the November election "to prevent the breakdown of government." "Any party that relies on big business to furnish funds to run its campaign must of necessity do that which big business demands, for he who pays the fiddler calls the tune. I think, as a group, you and I are too prone to nationalism, in the light of ancient benefit that our parents and grandparents enjoyed. We are too prone to grasp the non-essentials, such as the refusal of a president to have his picture taken with colored people. The real cause for indignity should be when we clearly see that a mistaken economical policy results in disaster to the common good of all citizens." Walker said. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1932 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT 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: 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. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285.

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 cost of the lynching, or the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any 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.) 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 in the lynching, which 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 of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code or Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to the use of the land or color, the fun enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is 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!

According to the Cleveland correspondence of a Chicago race paper, Mrs. Hazel M. Walker and the Hon. Perry B.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, is not content to make only laws. Washington A. F. Wallace Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. A GREAT company of Michigan pioneers were recently honored when the Lumbermen's Memorial, overlooking the Au Sable river, was dedicated. Little did Monsieur Jean Nicolet, the first white man to set foot on Michigan in 1634, or the hardy pioneers who later laid a firm foundation upon which the state was built suspect that today their crude camps would be sites of great American cities joined by a splendid network of fine highways and railroads. In its infancy Michigan was a huge lumber camp; today its industries are legion. Detroit industries alone normally employ some 350,000 workers who are massed in units attaining to 55,000 or 65,000 in a single establishment. It is, of course, her automobile industry, which predominates in this mass employment. When the future state was surrendered by the British in 1796, nobody attached undue importance to a village named Detroit with its 500 inhabitants and an area less than a square mile. Skip 136 years and Detroit reappears as the nation's fourth largest city with an area of more than 140 square miles, a population of more than one and a quarter million and an industrial product value of $2,000,000,000 a year. Approaching the city by lake steamer one beholds a striking panorama. The Canadian side shows many miles of green meadows, while the American side reveals a gradually intensifying spectacle of mammoth cranes, towering stacks, vast factories—all of industry's bewildering panoply. Lest the motorcar bulk disproportionately on Detroit's skyline, it should be remembered that the city's 3,000 major manufacturing plants include 35 lines that fall into the million-dollar-a-year class of productivity. In fact, ever since the days when Detroit made the first gold pens, ran the first refrigerator cars and built among the earliest of sleeping cars—and, tradition adds, mixed the first ice-cream soda—the Michigan metropolis has been a plexus of diversified manufacturing. Detroit's Remarkable Growth. Detroit's Remarkable Growth. Her growth, measured in terms of population, has increased more than 300 per cent during this century. Indeed, her presence in industrial quantities has exceeded by more than 60,000 her total population of 1000. Within the past ten years the office clout-toucher has taken its place in Detroit's skyline, and apartment hotels and hotel skyscrapers cannot be reared fast enough to keep pace with her growth. In fact, Detroit's rapid changes in physiognomy justify the English writer who remarked of American cities, "Wrecked buildings spring up like mushrooms." One turns gratefully from Detroit's traffic-choked thoroughfares into that loveliest retreat of all her 3,000 acres of park space—Belle Isle. In trading eight barrels of rum, three rolls of tobacco and six pounds of warpaint for the Indian-owned Belle Isle, the city's foresters achieved something not to be expressed by its present valuation of many millions of dollars; for Belle Isle park is at once the worker's restful Avalon, treasure-hunting childhood's pirate lair, and every one's enchanted island, with song-birds as Ariels and caged bears as Calibans. What more intriguing than a wooded island park, canalized for canoeing, dotted with plicnickers' stoves, and visited by a symphony orchestra—this on the edge of a great industrial city? Pontiac, a town founded in the early boom period, leaped into the general expansion freeny by taking out the state's first railroad charter in 1830. Six years later work was begun on the Detroit & Pontiac railroad. Presently many a pioneer, upon hearing the first locomotive's distant shriek, was seizing his gun to "git the b'ar" with the strident voice. Great State for Lumber. Great State for Louisiana. The original track of wooden, iron-sheathed rails was soon discharging ripped-off fragments of sheathing through the car bottoms. These "snake-heads," as the flying fragments were called, caused many a casualty among the passengers until the D. & P. came handsomely to the rescue with "a new and elegant car" whose metaled flooring smothered the snake-head offensive. Michigan's through-rail connection with the East was established by the completion of the Great Western railroad in 1854. Nowadays the state's transportation is served by steam lines operating 8,700 miles, motor coaches 7,000 miles, and electric lines 1,000 miles. Michigan's every city, it seems, must make something, and her very capital is not content to make only laws. Lansing normally has 15,000 hands engaged in industries, mainly the automotive or auxiliary thereto, producing an annual output valued at $185,000,000. Though Lansing's forests have long since yielded to the spacious avenues radiating from her lawn-surrounded state house, and though the cry for reforesting the state is widespread, the capital and her sister cities rank among the country's most beautifully tree-shaded communities. Sometimes appearing as if buried in greenery, and for the most part displaying regularly spaced maples along foliage-roofed streets, Michigan's towns thus preserve a souvenir of the great logging area of their state. Michigan's "forest primeval" lay with pine and softwoods mainly to the north of 43rd parallel of latitude, and with the hardwoods mainly to the south of it. A century ago her area was still 97 per cent timbered. In the expansion period that followed the Civil war the state loomed up as the great pine producer. Eastern farmers turned pioneer and trekked Michiganwarl for their fractional investment in the 125,000,000 feet of timber that rose north of Saginaw. The prairie states were calling for timber, and Michigan's was massed in big stands with easy river access to the Great Lakes. Up sprang 800 camps employing 25,000 loggers. Plank roads were laid through the wilderness. In 1875 there were 30 solid miles of logs in the Au Gres. For more than 30 years men chopped and saw screamed, until in 1890 Michigan's pine lumbering reached its peak with 4,250,000,000 feet. Transition to Manufacturing. But the young states transition period from lumbering to manufacturing was not accomplished without growing pains. Her forests shorn, a host of lumber towns—Ludington, Cheboygan, Bay City, Manistee, Alpena, Muskegon, Saginaw—relapsed temporarily into stagnation or ruin. The story of Muskegon is typical. Her glories fled, her people trekked, and grass grew in her streets. Then slowly she rebuilt herself on the deserts left by vanished sawmills. How, the woodworking, automotive and other industries have lifted the once-ruined town to her present prosperity is one of the most striking stories in Michigan annals. Saginaw, once such a "Sawmil City" that her shore area was materially enlarged by filling in the shallow lagoons with incalculable tons of sawdust, represents a similar rise, fall, and comeback. To-day she normally pays more in freight bills on her automotive and other products than her famed lumber cut was worth 40 years ago. Flint took refuge in carriage building. Many a town started diversified woodworking as a stop-gap. Citizens at Ludington, Manistee, and elsewhere bored the earth, produced brines, and made the steam of lumber mills evaporate the brine into salt. There was a state-wide spectacle of Michigan remaking herself. But not until around the turn of the present century did she set a firm foot on the industrial ladder, up which she has since made so spectacular an ascent. Where the Mint Grows. Southwest of Lansing the Indian place-name of Kalamazoo ("beautiful water") still holds true by reason of the cold springs which once refreshed the red man and nowadays refresh a muck-land celery crop valued at upward of $2,000,000. The same muck region puts Michigan topmost, along with northern Indiana, in peppermint. These two sections produce, for pharmaceutical and other purposes, 85 percent of the United States supply. Kalamazoo's paper factories, which have produced bond and book stock for 50 years, instance how Michigan turned to manufacturing when her lumbering peak had passed. Grand Rapid's furniture market comprises an international aggregation of manufacturers, buyers, and salesmen. From a score of states and from European countries come the displays of furniture and interior decoration. These are disposed on the vast floor spaces of 20 factory showrooms and ten specially built exhibition buildings. The buyers of whom 3,000 are sometimes present, hall from every state in the Union and from half a dozen foreign countries. Its 75 furniture factories, employing some 14,000 people, represent an annual product value of about $50,000. A large preponderance of Hollanders, who still nourish the old craft-spirit tradition, is to be found among the local furniture and cabinet-makers.

Knitted Fashions Tune to Autumn Knitted Fashions Tune to Autumn By CHERIE NICHOLAS ATURE is glorifying the autumn landscape with richer coloring than that which fashion is lavishing on the new knitted costumes. NATURE is glorifying the autumn landscape with no richer coloring than that which fashion is lavishing on the new knitted costumes. The browns, and, by the way, special emphasis is being placed on brown in the knitted realm for early fall, the wine reds and greens and golden hues which radiate from the knitted mesh of the new sweaters, suits, frocks and ensembles are in very counterpart of the warm tones which glow in the setting of an autumn sun or in the painting of the myriads of falling leaves which are even now carpeting the earth. In making selection of the new knitted outfit, the important role which has been assigned to brown is a point well worth considering. So pronounced is this flair for brown that even the shoes one wears with the knitted costume are expected to be in harmonious brown. The girl seated in the picture is wearing new-model brown kid oxfordes with her lace-knit brown dress, the same being distinguished with clever cutout work at the sides. The outstanding style points other than its color in regard to the dress are its long sleeves and, most important of all, its flattering yoke of white crochet, the buttoned collar of which stresses the high neckline which is so essential to chic this season. The novelty of this yoke bespends the fact that it is not alone the color glory of the newer knitted costumes which is capturing all the honors for when it comes to "ideas" their name is legion. Here's citing a few of them, such as, for instance, the cunning detachable capes which top many of the recent incoming knitted frocks, sweaters which are made suspender A Work out your color scheme for your early fall coat or suit in brown and white if you would keep pace with fashion's step. The model pictured is a forerunner of coats to be for the crisp autumn months. It is of brown and white tweed and is trimmed with brown and white fur. The ensembling of this costume is perfect from a color standpoint. The little velvet toque is brown. The fact that it is velvet is significant, for most of the initial hats are just such clever velvet fantasies as this. The shoes also enter into the color alliance. These sturdy brown kid oxfords have a discreet design of lizard across the throat. The low cuban heels make the shoe practical for autumn walks. They also assure comfort during the shopping hours. fashion to wear with lingerie guimps, and leg o'mutton sleeves, if you please, and square neck and all sorts of scarf manipulations. Then there is a new alliance which calls for a suede jacket with the knitted dress. You will be interested, too, in the perfectly lovely dresses which are knitted of thinest zephyr, or silk, if you can afford it, done in Irish lace pattern. There are no words to describe the chic and the charm of this knitted fashion de luxe, so we will leave it to imagination to picture or better still go and look them up. They are a revelation in knitted artistry. And there's the sweater! Don't forget sweaters. Not that you could, if you would, for sweaters feature most spectacularly throughout knitted sections this season. If you are up and doing, you will be wearing a "scrumptious" sweater blouse with your new tweed or suede-like cloth swagger suit this fall. Paris couturiers are creating stunning outfits consisting of jacket and shirt of cloth with hand-crochet sweaters instead of the usual blouse. The three piece pictured to the right is typical. The suit is made of black velvety cloth, the jacket boasting a very gay lining. The jumper is hand crocheted and observes all the new rules of the fashion game, such as the square neck, the to-the-wrist sleeves with full top and the touch of bright color which enlivens black these days—the latter in this instance accomplished via embroidered designs done in multi-toned angora yarn. © 1922, Western Newspaper Union. FALL OUTFIT THAT HAS ITS "APPEAL" Knitted things have a new importance this fall. Their materials are firmer and they have a more tailored quality than they have ever had in the past. There is a new three-piece outfit that's stunning, with a skirt of uneven check of diamond pattern in black and white. The sweater is one of the most interesting weaves I've ever seen and you'd declare, as I did, that it was hand-done. It's white with a touch of black, and black-ribbed band at the hips and edging the elbow sleeves. The coat is seven-eighths length, semi-fitted, with taller lapels and slit pockets, fastening at the waist with link buttons. You couldn't have anything smarter for the street, as well as for the country, for early fall. It comes in other color combinations, too, if you want something brighter. The tweedy knit effects are especially good. One, in grayish tones, with diagonal ribbing, has a skirt with a bright green crush girdle of jersey that fastens with two buckles. A white sweater is knitted in self stripes and has the new high neckline.—Kansas City Times. Felt and Feathers Will Some of the new felt hats are trimmed with felt, many are trimmed with velvet, and some feature feather trimming. One of the latter group has an unusual bow placed on the edge of the brim over one eye, made of a bordeaux red leather the same shade as the hat. Another has a crown entirely covered with feathers. Bows placed to the fore part of the hat, be it a brimmed hat or a turban, are noteworthy of the fall millinery. Strings of All Kinds Paris has taken to stripes with more than a little enthusiasm and Roman stripes, candy stripes, pin stripes and bold zebra stripes are featured in bright colors or two-toned effects in summer clothes designed for the smart resorts.

My dear Mr. Smith:—Just a line to congratulate you on the fiftieth anniversary of editing and publishing The Cleveland Gazette.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Kind Sir:—This is acknowledgment of your 50th birthday present (in advance) from "The Old Reliable"—a copy of current "Liberty" for which I thank you. Had much to say, but will not impose upon your time and good humor. Hope this will find you, as it leaves me healthy, hopeful and happy in the word. wish The Gazette peace, property, and peace for many years to come, without change in ownership or present manager.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend: — I am hereby congratulating you with my whole heart on your most wonderful consummation of the herculean task of editing and publishing a reputable newspaper, during half a century! S seventy-five of the 87 years of my life, you are my present home, and during all these years I have never known any man or woman of any race or class to accomplish such an undertaking, and this, too, during some of the most eventful and trying times of commercial and financial affairs that this great country has ever known. Wonderful newspapers have been born, reached remarkable circulation, and, with their talented editors, passions and interests, have remained, Gazette have remained, and, miracle dictu, are still on the firing line. It is God's doing. He has preserved and protected you both to struggle and "cry aloud" for the rights of our poor hopefully struggling class. John P. Green. Cincinnati, O., Aug. 15, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear friend Harry—Enclosed please let me ask for $2.00 to renew my subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette. There is no chance for me to forget when 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 good. I want to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of "The Old Reliable," hoping you will live many 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 appreciate you one of our greatest race men. I close with kindest regards from Cleveland, O. Aug. 25, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. 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 editor. Well has it been said: "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. Sincerely and respectfully, R. S. Rector. Wilberforce, O., Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C.

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, Wilberforce University. Editor. Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor:—Congratulations on the fifty 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 viciousities 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 vacationed at Idlewild, Mich., and did not know until today that on Aug. 25 The Gazette entered upon its fiftieth 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 in my duty if I did not extend to me the opportunity of 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, Smith. (Former Secretary to several Directors of Public Safety of this city and not a relative of the editor.—Editor.) OUR FIFTIETH YEAR. 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 interest of the other three owners, cofounder and vice president, 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 when we are in danger of ever 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 know has made me, is in its own power, help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to Makes Uncle Sam's Maps Last of four generations of map-graver of the official map of the United new edition of the map is issued every new notations to make, new count plates to engrave. So fine is his work, fying glass are as much a part of Engraving, which requires hours of minute detail, lays a very heavy one example, according to the Bettional requirements for special eye-residential life.

"Number, Many Variety HIER AMT? A. Last of four generations of map engravers, Clarence Ruebsam, engraver of the official map of the United States, is always working. A new edition of the map is issued every two years, but there are always new notations to make, new county post offices to locate, plates to engrave. So fine is his work that the magnifying glass and ink which requires hours of concentrated attention on unusually minute detail, lays a very heavy burden upon the eyes, and is only one example, according to the Better Vision Institute, of the occupational requirements for special eye-care in modern industrial and professional life. Special eye-jobs, such as engraving, drafting, work, sewing, and even reaming, work efficiently without strain. Ruebsam's great father was called to the United States from Weimar, Germany, in 1854, and three generations have followed him in Government map-engraving. "Number, Please?" Has Many Varieties Abroad NUMERO? HIER AMT? GOOGLA GLOOK? An American tourist is greeted with an odd assortment of responses when he rings a telephone in foreign lands. "I am listening." The Belgian operators respond quite similarly, except that they add the name of the city in which they are located Instead of the familiar "Number, please?" he hears the cheerful voice of a fraulein announcing "Hier Amt," if he happens to be in Germany. The tourist undoubtedly will be startled, but there is no cause for amazement. The German operator merely is saying the German equivalent of "Number, please?" which in English means "This is the exchange." But Germany isn't the only country that furnishes surprises for the telephoning tourist. There are many varieties of "Number, please?" in Europe and all of them sound equally unintelligible to the average American. In France, the operator comes back with "Jecute," which means After Read scribe after wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" 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 throughout the country. We refer particularly to its fortunate state, the federal 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-to-other, here in the north, we unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," in which preached, in its day and time, by the president, and for the prefitted white mascot. 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 urged the president to apply this. 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. engravers, Clarence Ruebsam, en- United States, is always working.

The perplexed American is confronted by a triple problem in Switzerland. There the operators answer "Number, please?" in three languages, French, German and Italian, depending upon the part of the country from which the call is made. The Polish operator waives formalities by simply giving her individual number in response to a call. Likewise, the responses in Spain, Czechoslovakia and Norway are abbreviated. In Spain, it's "Numero?" meaning "Number?"; "Prosim" for "Please" in Czechoslovakia, and "Centralen" in Norway, which is the equivalent of "the exchange" in English. ling It Reading It Harry C.
