C.—Laudy Harris of this town went with his pastor to the Oceane County jail, Sunday, and confessed to Sheriff John Thomas that he was the leader of the mob that lynched Allen Green in April, 1930. Harris was one of a score of persons acquitted in connection with the lynching and as the law does not allow a man to be tried twice for the same crime, when his life is in jeopardy, Harris cannot be prosecuted. pride of the friendship of our party for the American Negro that has endured unchanged for 70 years.

HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING A bit of good advice: When you purchase anything in any store or place of business, look it over carefully before paying for it. Always do this. "The Serchlight" (and Cleveland Advocate) is a campaign sheet that made its first appearance, Oct. 1, '32 and of course has no bona fide circulation. Candidates should not be taken advantage of by it. Candidates who give money to any person or organization for the purpose of carrying the third or fourth councilmanic districts of this city, or among the wards therein, are "political saps," pure and simple. Don't be so "easy." Beware of the boodler, the grafter and all of their kidney. Councilman Ernest J. Bohn's "blighted areas" drive is meeting with strong opposition from the Cleveland Apartment Owners association and others. It seems, to The Rounder, to be an effort by private individuals to secure property at very low rates, especially property located in the Central old buildings, district where there are many old buildings. It will bear watching! --- Considerable dissatisfaction seems to be developing in the Mt. Pleasant club, organized to affiliate with the local branch of the Detroit Housewives league which Mrs. S. B. Peck of that city, founder and organizer, was to explain more fully at Mt. Zion Cong, church, Sunday. Some of the leaders of the Mt. Pleasant club are very outspoken with their dissatisfaction. The local correspondent of a Chicago race paper is wrong in stating that Councilmen Bundy and Payne attended the recent Hoover Planning Board organization meeting in Chicago. Councilman Clayborne George was the only one of the three to attend and was made a member of the board. Why the mis-statement, Alex? Surely you knew better! And why try to steal some of George's political "fodder" for Payne and Bundy? During the recent state primary campaign, Councilman Leroy Bundy, according to the local daily newspapers, took money from Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown and David S. Ingalls, opposing candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. He double-crossed Brown and would have done the same thing for Mr. Ingalls if he intervened on the part of Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization. CONFESSES LYNCHING ship from the Negroes themselves in these institutions and movements. No better example exists than the contributions made to the recent White House Conference on Child Health and upon Home Building. "I recall with great pleasure this co-operation in the relief of the Mississippi floods, and more SCOTTSBORO CASE IN SUPREME COURT. Opposing Counsel Clash in Crowd Room as Police Guard Building From Communists. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—Amid attentive silence from bench and closely packed spectators alike, opposing counsel, Monday, argued before the Supreme Court the cases of the seven Scottsboro, Ala., boy-victims of a southern "cracker frame-up." While the lawyers argued extra squads of police guarded the building inside and out from Communists. "They were not given a fair trial," contended Walter "Pollak of New York, counsel for the victims and he spoke the truth." "Their reply" replied Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, jr., of Alabama. "Of course!" Both cited precedent. Both reviewed history of the case but their clashing contentions revolved about the legality of the hearing given the seven victims in the little Alabama town. All through the court's session, officers outside closely scanned the line which sought admission to the court. In front of the court, the plaintiff pleaded to act promptly if a demonstration were attempted. Reports had it that Communists planned to show their sympathy for the condemned youth (victims). No autos were allowed to park in the broad plaza. There was nothing, however, to interrupt the court's routine. Many of our people were in the audience, however. Mrs. Mary Mooney, mother of the California labor-leader serving sentence for the 1916 San Francisco bombing, and a Communist delegation of the time, after the trial, she said she was "interested in seeing that other mothers' sons get justice." Several members of the Alabama congressional delegation were also in the audience. THE COE WILL AND CODICIL. Likely to Be Contested in the Courts —Son Cut Off With $500— Relatives Get the Estate— The Owens Well Treated. The remains of Jefferson Coe, whose death was noted in The Gazette, last week, were interred in Lake View cemetery alongside those of his wife, last week Thursday, after the court decided in the morning of that day to permit Undertaker Christopher to bury the body. Christopher had it on the order of Dr. and Mrs. James A. Owen who cared for Mr. Coe in his home for some months before his death. Will Coe, son of the deceased, threw his attorney, Alex Maughan, than he applied to the court for the body. Arty Chester K. Gillespie represented Mr. and Mrs. Owen. According to the terms of the will, Mr. Coe left one thousand dollars to his son which was cut to $500 in a codilic made in August of this year. To Dr. Jas. A. Owen and wife, $1,000 each, the codilic providing $500 of Mrs. Owen's thousand. The will provided only $500 for her. To Charles Chew of Philadelphia, Pa., was left the double-house and lot at 2198 E, 74th St. To Bertie Hogan of Annapolis, Md., was left the house and lot at 2237 E, 74th St. To Doris Ridgley of Washington, D.C., was left the homestead at 2168 E, 74th St., with the provision that Dr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Owen could occupy it for five years at $25 per month, this rental to be paid to Doris Ridgley. They paid Mr. Coe, $25 a month. The prospects are that the man, Will Coe, will contest the will. Judge Geo. S. Addams refused to probate the codicil to the will in court. Tuesday after Mrs. Engenia Scott, a witness, testified that Mr. Coe was practically unconscious when he signed it. that nets Mrs. Owen $500 and Will Coe $1,000, under the will. Hon. Henry E. Davis was Jefferson Coe's lawyer. and transmitted by him to those who followed as a sacred trust. The right of liberty, justice and equal opportunity is yours. "The President of the United States is ever obligated to the maintenance of those sacred trusts to the full extent of his authority. I appreciate your presence here today as an evidence of your friendship." DOINGS OF THE RACE. There is probability of a retrial in the Massie, Honolulu, Hawaii murder case. Afro-American are serving on jury for the first time in Baltimore County, Md. Noble Sissle, well-known orchestra leader, has again filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in New York City. The Wilberforce Alumni Association of Chicago gave President R. R. Wright of that institution a brilliant reception, last week. Homer Smith, age 32, ex-postal clerk of Minneapolis, has been engaged by the Soviet Union (Russia) to help build up its postal service. Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell of Washington D.

Toledo, O.—The outcome of the recent boycott of the Kroger Chain Grocery stores, conducted by the local N. A. A. C. P. branch has netted a glorious victory! After making definite agreement providing for the employment of an Afro-American manager and clerks in its stores where 95 per cent of its patronage is from our buyers, the Kroger Co. not only dismissed its Afro-American student-manager but refused to employ our clerks. This situation was brought to the attention of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Much credit for the success of the boycott-campaign is due Rev. Walter P. Stanley, past president of the local church sector of All Saints Episcopal Church in his committee, consisting of Silas M. Harris, John Harter and W. H. Johnson. Also, Toledo Afro-Americans are grateful to John McKinnel, L. H. Brown, Esther McGallard, Samuel E. Suttles, Troy Houston, Arthur McClinton and Elias Tate, who carried banners in spite of threats. Finally Kroger Co. officials conferred with the boycott committee and made an adjustment to the satisfaction of our group. As a consequence, the company will in the future employ Afro-American managers and clerks in its stores located in our community. The Afro-Kroger stores now employ such managers and clerks. Attention! Cleveland, Ohio, Afro-Americans! **Bolton Booms Hoover.** "Franklin D. Roosevelt is a very forgetful man in referring to the 'forgotten man'; he has evidently forgot that his state, New York, has the longest lines in the country." Congressman Chester C. Bolton said, Sunday afternoon, at St. recently in relief of drought, and in the sound advice and assistance I have had in relief from the present distress and unemployment. "You may be assured that our party will not abandon or depart from its traditional duty toward the American Negro. I shall sustain this pledge given in the first instance by the immortal Lincoln THE KROGER COMPANY. Bolton Booms Hoover Forum. He defended President Hoover's relief record and said the latter's creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. had saved millions of dollars belonging to small depositors in small banks of the country. The congressman reviewed the work of the 71st Congress. The congressmen are only phrase-making when they tell you they will do better," he said.

A True Friend of the Race, a Candidate for Common Pleas Judge, Subject to the Election, Tuesday, Nov. 8, '32. Atty. Cornelius Maloney is ideally fitted to serve on the Common Pleas bench, having the legal ability, the experience gained from 34 years' practice in trial and reviewing courts, state and federal, and a spirit of honesty, fearlessness, love of fair play, and a willingness to fight injustice wherever he sees it. Atty. Maloney's record in the interest of our people has not been simply a matter of earning money, as the editor of The Gazette, an old friend, attests, nor is his record a matter of today, or yesterday. For 15 years he has fought the cases of our people in the courts of this country, and has maintained that was in him, even to his most humble client. His activities and utterances in the interest of Afro-American clients thrus the whole course of his public career have caused many of his fellow-practitioners to actively oppose him at this time. "However," says Atty. Maloney, "the deepest disgrace is the disgrace of doing injustice to any man." If you would safeguard your own interests, and the interests of the taxpayers of this county, vote for Maloney.—Adv. Miss Almeya Sims of Chicago located with her aunt, Mrs. Gertrude E.

Patterson and Richard B. Moore, all Afro-Americans except Mrs. Mooney. --- The editor of The Gazette represented our people at the dinner given about six weeks ago at the Hollenden in honor of State Attorney General Gilbert Bettman, Republican candidate for U. S. senator. He did the same thing, last week Friday noon, at the dinner given in Mr. Bettman's honor at the Women's City club. The guests at both dinners were largely members of Mr. Bettman's state committee. Former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan presided on both occasions, and each time Mr. Bettman was the speaker, making exceptionally fine pleas for the election of the entire Republican ticket from President Hoover down. Our people are especially interested in the Bettman candidacy for obvious reasons. He is a sterling friend of the race and one of the best attorney generals Ohio has ever had. THE TRUTH --- The Chicago Defender is apparently not pleased with our delegation that called upon President Hoover at the White House, recently, nor with what the President said to it and shows its displeasure plainly in the following: The countless thousands who could not stand with you (President Hoover) on the White House steps on Saturday last are not politicians seeking personal preference, but, nevertheless, Republicans who still believe in the "traditions" of the party. And had they had the privilege of being present at the conference in question, what you no doubt would have delighted in knowing, and that is that the people in whose hands you have intrusted the carrying out of the "traditions" of the party have defaulted in the responsibilities that the trust imposes and are no longer serving the party. An honest delegation would have told you, Mr. President, that the "tongue cursing" was not from a "thoughtless few," but from a great mass of citizens of the race who are in sympathy with their racial identity and who are being made victims of peonage, in fact of physical slavery by men who speak for the Republican party. The race citizens are not asking for "words and solemn phrases." We have had words and solemn phrases too long. What the race wants is action that will speak louder than words. Let this action come through. Let this government be expanding millions in public improvement in various parts of the country. We need no committee to continually pledge us to the Republican party. What we want is some one to pledge the Republican party to us. We have never forsaken the Republican party. The divorcee has all the other side we really need is to speak for us who is not living off of the party, thus hampering them from speaking our convictions. The foregoing is certainly the truth and nothing but the truth! There is hardly an intelligent, loyal Afro-American Republican in this country but what will endorse it fully and without reservations of any kind. For many years the party-leadership has been losing interest in Afro-American Republicans generally, with the result that with each succeeding Presidential election thousands upon thousands of our votes are lost to party candidates, national, state and local. The number has increased every four years until it has become a decided menace to Republican success, we regret to say. The idea, held by some Republican leaders just prior to each national election, that this loss of Afro-American votes will be made up in the shape of electoral votes from southern states, will again be so thoroly exploded in November next that we trust that thereafter there will be a determined effort upon the part of the sensible leaders of the party to return it to something like its original mooring and stand upon which the party grew strong and great and grand. The thing to do in November is to over-whelmingly defeat southern Democracy and its candidates, Roosevelt and Garner, and continue the Republican party in control of the government for the good and welfare of all the people, particularly our people. ATTENTION "JIM CROW" ADVOCATES! New York City.—Rabbi I. L. Brill, in an address before the Jewish Fellowship, recently attacked the proposals for founding a strictly Jewish university in America on the ground that such an act would be one of cowardice and would indicate that the Jews had given up their fight against anti-Semitism. "The protagonists of such an institution," he said, "hold that it is needed because of the discrimination against Jewish students in universities and colleges and by reason of the fact, it is stated, that Jews find it ever increasingly difficult to secure appointments on their faculties. I will grant that a deplorable and un-American state of affairs exists. Notwithstanding, I am materially opposed to Jewish university. I am opposed to a specific Jewish medical school and a specific Jewish law school. The issues so far as Jewish rights are concerned cannot and must not be fought out in the manner proposed. Our universities and colleges must be free from prejudice and must be open to all seeking an education." "PASSED FOR WHITE" For Thirty-Three Years and Became a Leading Business Man—His Will Uncover His Race Connection. Tarrytown, N. Y.—Carl C. Loh, wealthy and prominent real estate man, who "passed for white" during his thirty-three years residence of this city, died suddenly. His might name was white and his father a mulatto, both residents of Macon, Ga, when he was born Mar. 3, 1874. The foregoing facts were developed as a result of his leaving his aged mother, Mary Carter, and a sister, Daisy, $5,000 each in his will, not knowing they were dead. Another sister, Mrs. Rosetta Carter Purdue, of Hyde Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is suing for a part of the Loh estate, the bulk of which was held to Mrs. Sarah, his secretary for 21 years. Loh was at one time a vestryman of the ultra-fash'onable Christ Episcopal church here. John D. Rockefeller, Sr. and Jr., maintain estates near this city. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 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 now allowed Ohio's lead and enacted mob-violence and 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: 5282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching 5283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 5284. Limitations of action. 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 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 the body of any person shall constitute a "hyping" within the meaning of this chapter (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious injury" for the purpose of this chapter shall include such inquiry as 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, or in the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Sipon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hou. 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, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public convergence 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 regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied 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, and 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. FLEMING LOSES! Court Denies Habeas Corpus Writ to Former Commissar to Please Release for Tom Columbus, O. — Former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, of Cleveland, Tuesday lost his fight for release on a writ of habeas corpus from the state penitentiary, where he is serving a one to 10-year term on a charge of accepting a $200 bribe. Fleming, thru his attorney, Alex. H. Martin of Cleveland, had brought application for the writ to force the state board of pardons and parole to ease him. Comm. Pleas Judge Rudnick. Denied fleming's petition. This is the third or fourth attempt his attorney (Martin) has lost in the courts for Fleming. Tom was originally sentenced to a term of two years and nine months to 10 years. When the Ackerman law became effective the two years and nine months minimum was automatically reduced to one year and Fleming before he eligible for parole a year ago. The parole board has refused to release him and he contended, thru his attorney, that he is being illegally detained in the penitentiary. "The Communist Position."

Prepar.3 by National Geographic Society, Washington, 1974. N. SENECHER recently have been called the orchestra seat for the show produced by Nature—the eclipse, which drew thousands of visitors across her borders from many states. Without the eclipse, however, New Hampshire is a magnet to visitors the year round. In the summer its mountains and lakes call vacationists from remote parts of the country, while in winter they are the scene of winter sports. About two hundred and fifty years ago New Hampshire was separated from Massachusetts. The new royal province had then but four towns, which clung precariously to the seaboard; and if the usual rule of computing population in proportion to qualified voters be observed, there were perhaps a thousand souls in the census. In a quarter millennium the state's population has come to number about half a million people, and has spread from the coast to the lakes and beyond the mountains to the Canadian border. The march has been tollsome. Subduing the forest was no easy task, and it is small wonder that so many of its acres, once cleared by the stern process of cutting and burning, have been permitted to resume their forest cover. It is probable that Massachusetts was glad to be rid of New Hampshire back there 250 years ago. They had not got on well with the royal governors who had lived in Boston. It was the first manifestation of a revolt against absentee landlordism which New Hampshire has always more or less maintained. Mills on the Merrimack. Down in Maine they speak of "the lordly Kennebec," but the Merrimack stands unmatched. Its boast is that it turns more spindles than any other stream in the world, for upon its banks stand the great industrial cities of Manchester, and Nashua; and New Hampshire has always looked with pride upon its centers of the textile world, from which its products have gone out all over the globe. Time was when solid trains of cotton used to go from Manchester and Nashua north and west through Canada to the Pacific coast, and thence to the Orient, to clothe the "heathen Chinese." But changing styles, shackening immigration, rayon, and what have played havoc with New England's textiles, while the Orient has learned to make its own shirrings and the South now not only grows, but weaves, its own cotton. The miles of mighty mills at Manchester still run, but not with their former volume. The Merrimack, however, like Old Man River, keeps rolling along; and so do the other streams which New Hampshire originates and which have so greatly enriched New England. The Kennebec alone; of all the great rivers of this section, escapes New Hampshire paternity. The Connecticut, the Androscoggin, the Saco—these, with the Merrimack, make the great quartette to which the four states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut owe so much. The story of the New Hampshire grants is an interesting one. Many a worthy figured in it, the redoubtable Ethan Allen being the most conspicuous. With him was a leading member of the Dartmouth faculty, and among them they attempted to set up a new state. They succeeded; but when they sought to incorporate into it some fifty towns of New Hampshire, that was "too much"; there was federal intervention, and both Vermont and New Hampshire withdrew within their present frontiers. Switzerland of America. Among the titles in which New Hampshire glories is that of "the Switzerland of America." In summer the mountains and valleys are thronged by the thousand. The Apalachian Mountain club visits them, piecemeal and sporadically, though their trails and their cabins have a call which should be as strong in winter as in summer. The Dartmouth Outing club, how ever, has been by no means slow to make use of the winter months. This organization has its chain of cabins, also, which covers the territory from Mount Cardigan to Mount Washington, and its hikes, as described in the college publications, remind one of the heroic tales which Napoleon wrote upon the fare of the Alps. Some New Hampshire cities, whose latitude gives permission, have their carnivals, too; and another fixed observance of the winter season is the dog races, because in the eastern hills lie the kennels from which explorers of both the Arctic and the Antarctic have taken their sledge teams. Increasing competition and changing economic conditions have caused a recession in New Hampshire's basic industries, but there can be no competition and there is no change in those gifts with which Nature has endowed the state. As a consequence, there are those who think that New Hampshire's future must lie wholly in the further extension of its recreational interests and in the further development of its water powers. One of the largest of the country's manufacturers of sporting goods is set down in the foothills of the White mountains, and from his factory go forth thousands of baseballts to be sewn by the women of the community. Women in organized industry are plenty enough in New Hampshire, however, but they have not come from the farms, at least not from New Hampshire farms where hand industry was to be found. With the concentration of New Hampshire industries in the cities, and particularly with the specialization of cities in the shoe and textile lines, came a swelling stream of immigration from the north attracted by the opportunities which the state's expanding mills provided. Lots of Water There. New Hampshire is no dry state. At any rate, no inconsiderable portion of its 9,341 square miles is covered with water. Its lakes are in innumerable, ranging from Winnepeau sankee, with its 80 square miles of area and its 274 islands, down to the tiny tinn in front of the Crawford house where the Saco river has its source. All of these waters, highly protected by the state, teem with fish, and the prediction which Gov. Moody Currier made in his inaugural moss a half century ago seems to have come true. The old gentleman was pleading for more generous appropriations for the fish and game department, and argued that it should be possible to make each acre of New Hampshire water area as productive as the average acre of land. If one throws into the account the revenue in taxes and purchases made by the owners of the sportsmen's camps which have spawned so plentifully on the shores of New Hampshire lakes and streams, the governor is seen to have had his vision realized. The federal government also has not been neglectful and both the legislature and congress have established and maintain hatcheries which are modern and efficient—and some of them picture issue. Has Excellent Schools. New Hampshire has always had great store upon education, and in less than fifteen years from the date of the first settlement schools were established in the earlier towns and contracts were made with imported teachers, who were paid at public expense. The colony was but seventy years old when, amid the distress and distraction of the French and Indian war, the assembly made provision by taxation for meeting houses, ministers' homes, schoolhouses, and the salaries of schoolmasters. Endowed academies, sprang up within the following century, the first being the Phillips Exeter academy, which in 1831 celebrated its sesquicentennial and which stands in the foremost rank of preparatory schools in the country. These institutions for the most part bore the mark of the standing order of Congregationalism. The Methodist school at Tilton, the Baptist school at New London, the Free Baptist school at New Hampton and the Unitarian school at Andover still maintain more or less of their denominational affiliation. The great church of St. Paul's, which was the first of that strong and notable chain of church schools in the East, together with the school at Holderness, still adresses to its Episcopalian faith, while St. Anselm's college, established by the Benedictine Order near Manchester, and several academies for girls attests the devotion of the Catholic church to scholarship in a state where it numbers at least a third of the total population. At the head of all of New Hampshire's educational institutions stands Dartmouth college, no longer "the small college," which Webster loved and defended. Crowning the heavenly heights which spring upward from the Connecticut at Hanover, Dartmouth, with new buildings, an enlarged faculty, expanding endowments, and, it is good to add, the same old spirit has come to rank with the great colleges of the country and is a source of constant pride to the state. At Durham, one of the first settlements and near the sea, is the University of New Hampshire, it, too, enjoying an era of remarkable expansion and prosperity. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1932 All Eyes Turn to "New" Fur Capes THE FASHION WEEKLY SO FAR as "stepping out" in that which is conspicuously new-looking and enimily she is lost who hesitates to top her "first" fall frock, made either of one of the smart woolens or rough cropes, with a jaunty little fur cap. Later on the style formula calls for the addition of a wee muff or one not so diminutive if you prefer. These little fur capes are about the smartest thing fashion has to offer in the way of an early autumn wrap. As winter comes on they will be worn over the collarslash cloth coat which thus multiplies their practicality by two. mole cape to the left in the pic in relation to color harmony. It has a frock made of a novelty woolen a rich autumn green shade, the natural tone of the mole pelt toge with the soft green achieving a co value which at once appeals to discriminating taste. This model is unique in that a cross between a cape and a jacket. The fronts of this nobly fur w cross and fasten with square buttons which emphasizes the importance of a touch of metal to hance the fall costume. The outfit which the young wom pictured to the right is wearing It is not only that such varied types of fur are employed in their styling, but the fact that the silhouette of these youthful-looking capes is so variously interpreted, adds greatly to their intrigue. Perhaps if one were called upon to cite one fur as being more generally in use than another for the making of the new capes the honors would go to astrakan and its near relations such as Persian lamb, broadtail and galyak. Dyed lapin is also a great favorite not only in brown seal effects, but especially in gray for gray furs answer the call of the hour. Then too, the furs which are made up into new and novel capes emphasize their charm in that they are toned to blend into the color scheme of the costume ensemble. Consider the little A A high waistline which expresses the simplicity of the directoire silhouette gives this gown of white velvet, with hat to match, up-to-the-minute prestige. The trend to lifted waistlines minus betts is marked in the newer dresses. Another distinguishing touch is the wide ostrich bands on the sleeves. Quantities of ostrich will be used this fall and winter in a trimming way. All signs point to this, and there is a wide use of ostrich bands and novelties in the millinery realm. Revival Styles Still Hold Chief It's still new to be old-fashioned. Revivals of stiles that were popular in the early 1960s are even before, continue to be one of the preoccupations of the better Paris dressmakers. Especially among evening clothes, twenty-year-old modes are among the last-minute扮es. Lace mitts, ruffled shoulders and billowing skirts are distinctly 1962. Buttons in Colors Buttons are doing their share to brighten the new wardrobe. All-black dresses show buttons of bright red or green and white dresses step out of the all-white category when they are adorned with blue or green or red buttons. mole cape to the left in the picture in relation to color harmony.

This model is unique in that it is a cross between a cape and a jacket.

The outfit which the young woman pictured to the right is wearing is keyed up to fashion's very latest First of all notice that the cloth dress assumes princess lines and that which is highly significant is the fact of it being buttoned from neck to hem line. It has also a close-up about the throat collar effect which interprets an outstanding fashion trend. The cap of Persian lamb is the popular circular type. Its accompanying barre nuff completes the picture. The fashion of separate fur pieces which may be worn with any coat or dress or suit is destined to develop into a vogue of vast proportions. Milliners, too, are doing their bit in contributing to the glory of the new fall fur ensembles in that they are trimming many of their smartest hats with fur fantasies. © 1922, Western Newspaper Union. BLACK AND WHITE IS STILL POPULAR Black and white fashions were by far the most striking and predominant in the recent fall fashion show of American designers. For street, afternoon and evening wear the dashing, crisp contrast of black and white outshine even the luxurious new wine tones that have the town on its ear. Tailored street frocks of the new lightweight woolens were almost unanimous in their choice of white accents. Sometimes the white was the form of the huge Buster Brown collar of chalky white angelskin silk, with matching flaring cuffs, sometimes reaching almost to the elbow. Sometimes the white was applied in galayk trimming. A black broadcloth frock, severely simple, was made into something to remember you by with the addition of a little vest of white galayk. Fur Trimming Is Widely Used on New Pair Suits Fur trimmings are much in evidence. They are used in new ways, not only on fall coats and suits, but on dresses as well. Strips of black astrakhan are incrusted into wool frocks in the little stripes and squares that were formerly made of satin. Many a collar on a white silk blouse turns out to be made of shaved lamb or bretishzwantz. There is probably more of a variety of furs used on clothes this year than ever before, but there is no blunt purude of heavy fox bands and voluminous collars. A few elaborate evening wraps show silver fox trimming; there are some few fur necklaces of fox skins, in but in general, the use of fur in any individual garment inclines to be sparse. Redfern shows some good practical coats of gray tweeds trimmed with collars of gray astrakhan and lines them with white and gray squirrel. Taffeta Is Planning a Coniferate to a Taffetta promises to stage a style "come back" this fall. The heavy stiff silks which played a prominent role in grandmother's wardrobe are already being used for evening frocks and occasional af- ternoon dresses.

My dear Mr. Smith:—Just a line to congratulate you on the fiftieth anniversary of editing and publishing The Cleveland Gazette I am, also, commenting upon your feat, in my strictly personal column, in the Chicago Bee, in its issue of Aug. 21, '32.

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 world. wish The Gazette peace, prosperity 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 newspaper, during half a century! Seventy-five of the 87 years of my life have been spent in this, 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. The newspapers have been born, reached remarkable circulation, and, with their talented editors, passed away, but both you and "The Old Reliable" 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. Journal of the University—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 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 a good idea. I want to congratulate you on the 50th 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 members. 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 with adversaries. 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.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor:—Congratulations on the fifth 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 until today that on 25 June 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 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 the Directors of Public Safety of this city and not a relative of the editor.—Editor.) Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 2, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Dear Friend Smith:—It is with a feeling of satisfaction that I read of the celebration of your "golden anniversary." For I believe that in that fifty years is a true milestone of at least one man true unto himself. And I want to wish you and the public, whom you have so faithfully served, many, many more years of health, happiness and service. Columbus, O., Sept. 2, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith; I have just received a copy of your Aug. 27, '32, edition and read, with much interest, your article commemorating the fifth year of your publication. Your paper is a credit to yourself and to the state. Some time I hope to get better acquainted with you. Very truly yours. Geo. C.

My dear Mr. Smith:—Enclosed you will find money order for $2 for another year's subscription for your great weekly paper. It is wonderful for its size. I am glad to join in with all good thinking people and congratulate you for The Gazette. It stands for justice for our group. Permit me to say, I have a valuable piece of property in Cleveland on Cedar Ave. in the 900 block. All of us who are opening up new business places in that location and that it is rapidly growing. I hope they will not let the other race come in and take all of the best places away from them. I wish you another successful year I wish you another successful year with The Gazette. In honor of "The Old Reliable Gazette's" "Golden Jubilee," Mrs Kate A. Mann Baker, former resident and school-teacher of Indianapolis, Ind., but for years residing in Pasadena, Calif., sent the editor of The Gazette, last week, a beautiful congraturing in white and gold, which contains the following lines: Fifty years of happy memory! Fifty shining, golden years! Congratulations! And may the Happiness of this great event Linger long with you! Tous for resplosion, Mrs. Baker added: "Congratulations, Long live The Gazette.

Dear Mr. Smith:—It is very interesting to read the many letters of congratulations received by you and published in last week's Gazette.

C., Sept. 19, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor:—Permit me to con- gratulate you on the fiftieth anni- versary of the truthful and reliable Gazette. Sincerely yours. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Julia Anderson Burdine. Late but sincere. Cleveland, Sept. 16, 16'2. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Old Friend, Harry: "My running true to form" you will say, "you on time." But each is not exactly the case. My delay has been due to a rush of things—not for profit. But the little birds remind me of the fact that "The Old Reliable" Gazette has appeared on the streets of Cleveland for fifty years without outside interference. "To you my heartfelt congratulations. Fifty years is a long time, Harry. I did not know you were so old. But when I stop to think about it, I have known you for about forty years. And it has been forty years of pleasure to have known you. We have agreed and disagreed. We have fought on opposite sides and we have fought side by side. But whatever the circumstance of contact, I am sure there has always been that tie of respect and friendship, one for the other, that should attend all of us. As I look back and look back, I add the same by one, and feel the lonesomeness that naturally creeps up in declining years. my heart beats with joy whenever I chance to run into militant Harry Smith. Harry, you have ever been true to what you believed. No one has ever had to go to another to find out where Harry Smith has stood on any question. I do not say I have al- ways agreed with you, or that you have always been on the right side of things, but I do wish to be understood as saying that whatever opinion you have held on any matter, it was an honest one! Laboring under certain disadvantages which we will not here discuss, Harry, you have played the game straight; you have been a true friend and a good citizen. Long may you live and prosper, for the world has made better because you have lived in it. Sincerely and truly yours, W. G. Oswald. Cleveland. Sept. 14, '32. Dear Harry;—I read with much interest the marked copy of the issue of August 20th, particularly the editorial—"Our Fiftieth Year." You have made a great contribution to the life of Cleveland and your success over all the years is beyond question well merited. I wish you and The Gazette many more years of influence and prosperity. With kindest regards, I am. 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 staunch defender of the right to foe "jim-crowism." — Cincinnati (O. U.) Union; W. P. Dabney, Editor. 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 C. Smith, the lawyer for untimely 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-crowsm," and race proscription of every kind. Negroes of Ohio have a better chance because Harry C. Smith and the Gazette have been fighting for them for 50 years. Smith and his splendid publication—Dayton (O.) Forum, John H. Rives, Editor. "100 YEARS TO COME"! Wants "The Old Reliable" to "Carry On" That Length of Time—"God Favors the Race." Monterrey, N. L. Mexico, Sept. 30, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I am writing to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. I have been reading our paper for thirty years and in every issue I can truthfully state that its purpose is to uphold and fight for the rights of the race. I hope that "The Old Reliable" Gazette may carry on the same line of activities for the next 100 years to come. I wish you would do all in your power to your paper, to condemn Roosevelt and Garner. I do not want to see Garner select because he is from Texas, one of the worst states in the Union. I see where you have condemned several would-be politicians for boosting Roosevelt. I am enclosing a clipping and when this man (John Sharp Williams of Mississippi) died, a few days ago, God did the race a great favor. New York City, Oct. 8, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—You have probably forgotten me, since the strenuous days of the war, but I remember with such keen pleasure our discussions together and your counsel during those hectic days. I have read The Gazette regularly since and congratulate you most heartily upon these fifty years of publication. I hope it will go on fifty more. Yours sincerely, George E. Haynes, Secretary, Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. More Congratulations Cleveland, Oct. 4, '32 Harry C. Smith, Esq.

I wish you continued success and continued great usefulness. Most sincerely, (Major) John M. Snead. ANOTHER GAZETTE "ALUMNUS." In a letter received, the first of the week, from James A. Jackson of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Washington, D. C., whom it seems is also an "alumnus" of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, there appeared the following of special interest to all of our readers: "Incidentally, in closing, may I remind you that you and The Gazette find place in practically every speech I make through my mention of my own entry into newspaper work which ended in "Billboard" Jackson coming into this office. You of course not recall it, but my first job in life was telling The Gazette Bellefonte, Penna. Ten copies, each week, in 1887. I was then nine years of age. Now, I am fifty-four and grey-headed. Often wanted to tell you that. If you have the old records you will find my cousin, Nettie Palmer, was the correspondent at the time. "Yours truly, James A. Jackson." ding It Reading It
