Our voters seem to have awakened to the fact that it is wiser to support men from whom recognition might be given, even if blindly vote straight tickets. Atty. Wm. R. Stewart, one of the leading members of the Mahoning County Bar, has recently announced that he will follow that policy in supporting candidates and that he will appear at several meetings in support of his stand. A VICTIM OF SOUTHE One of our boys on a chain gang in Georgia; bound, gagged, left lying unconscious on the ground for hours 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 Searchlight" (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. The Cleveland Advocate died about fifteen years ago. Candidates who give money to any person or organization for the purpose of carrying the third or fourth councilmanic districts of this city, or any of 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. Steve Ball, Dan Fairfax, Sid Thompson, J. E. Hubbard, Geo. Hinton and more than a half dozen others, who were sent out by Councilman Leroy Bundy to make speaking tours in the state, failed to receive promised pay and refused to enter upon a second tour of the kind, the first of the week, it is said. 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 and doubled Brown and gave the same thing for Mr. Ingalls if it had not been for intervention on the part of Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization. It is announced that William O. Walker of Washington, D. C., has been invigued into becoming "managing editor" of one of our several local race contemporaries. The Rounder feels sorry for him because during the present "business depression" it is almost a crime to stack any one up against a business proposition the like of which the young man has tackled. We welcome you to Cleveland, "Brother" Walker, but feel sorry for you just the same.

For five years there has been a steady increase in unemployment until now it is so acute that people generally, those that support our business enterprises, are without funds to pay their most pressing obligations, (rent, etc.) and to pay "to it" to money to purchase sufficient food, daily. This condition makes it almost impossible for old business enterprises to live to say nothing of the new ones being started, these days. VICKERY, OUR FRIEND Many Years Ago When a Friend Was Needed—Still Our Friend— The Fremont Riot Recalled. Cleveland, O., Oct. 18, 732 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—Many years ago, I was assigned by the Court of Common Pleas to defend Lorenzo Martin, one of three colored boys, who were arrested for murder which it was claimed they committed at Fremont, O., during a strike. Upon investigation, I fully believed that the boys were innocent of any crime, and espoused the cause of murder. Believing that they could not have a fair trial in Sandusky County, I made application for a change of venue. The motion came on to be heard before Judge R. R. Kinkade, now of the Supreme Court. The motion was granted and the case sent to Erie County for trial. After an extended trial Lorenzo Martin was found not guilty of murder, either in the first or second degree, or guilty of murder or adultery only. The other boys were tried and I understand that at least one of them is now a very respected citizen of this city. The evidence disclosed that following the shooting, an assault was made upon all of the colored people of that city. Some of the colored men were rooming in a block downtown, and a big, burly white bruiser went up into their room, drew a gun, and attempted to shoot all of these men. They fled to the roof and were compelled to remain there during a rain storm for fear that, if they went down into the room below, they would be killed. All of these facts were proven but before Judge Kinkide, who later granted a closure of venue, and I was able to save the life of Lorenzo Martin. But I am sorry to say that he was sent to prison for a period of ten years, in my judgment, simply because he was black and not white. The reason this case made such an impression upon my mind was because it was my first murder trial. As a result of that, I have always taken a great interest in the colored people, and a few years ago, while I was on business in the South and during the lifetime of the booker T. Washington and at his invitation, I spent a day at his institution with very great pleasure. Yours truly, (Atty.) Jesse Vickery.

A PARENT-TEACHERS ASS'N Organized in Connection With Central High School Work— Approximately two hundred or more persons of both races met in the auditorium of Central high school, last Tuesday evening, to organize a Parent-Teachers Association. The project was sponsored by Miss Myrtle Johnson, one of the newly appointed teachers at that school who had the assignment to do so. The purpose of the organization is to create better relationship between parents and teachers of this community and to system upon which they may work co-operatively together for the welfare of high school students attending Central. Mrs. Rozella Boyd, pres.; Mrs. John Coleman and Elbert C. Wixon, principal of Central high, vice-pres.; Mrs. Bertha Austin, sec.; Mrs. Chas Crable, treas.; Mrs. Chas Jackson, historian. This organization will be a branch of the state and national Parent-Teachers Association. The national organization, headquartered in Washington, D. C., was organized in February, 1897, with membership of one-third half million. An annual meeting will be thirty cents per member. The organization of this Parent-Teachers Association came as a result of the suggestion of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch to the local school board some time ago.

("Hot Stuff") Johnson, one of the "Big Four" policy game operators, early Monday was shot as he left his home at 2285 E. 93d St. and entered his large sedan, parked in front of his home. Two men, in a small coupe that was parked about 75 feet north on the opposite side of the street, fired at him after he had climbed behind the steering wheel of a car, killing the victim of gangsters trying to muscle in on the policy racket. Johnson staggered to O'Neill Mitchell's, at 2270 E. 95th St., and asked him to call police. The small coupe speeded south on E. 93d St. Taken to Huron Road Hospital, "Hot Stuff" was found to be wounded six times in the right shoulder. The wounds will not prove fatal unless complications set in. Johnson, a resident here for 22 years, rose to power in the police department and theive co-operation of his wife who was murdered, last year. He was unable to give police an adequate description of the men, and could only supply the first three numbers, 717—on the licence plate of the coupe. MRS. CARL HANNA SPEAKS Also Messrs. Hanna, Brown, Burton, Bolt, Miss Hunter, Mrs. Walker —A Splendid Meeting. The Ingalls-Norton-Norton Republican club held another very successful meeting, last week Friday evening. A crowded house greeted the speakers and 38 new names were added to the club's roll. Mrs. Carl Hanna was the speaker of the evening. In a very forceful and pleasing way she urged all to vote a straight Republican ticket. Other speakers were the Hon. Thad. Brown, former U.S. Federal Radio Commissioner; Mr. Carl Hanna, Mr. Harold Burton former acting mayor; Miss Jane Hunter, Mrs. Hazel M.

The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the trustees of Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C., to attend the exercises in honor of the fifty-ninth anniversary of its founding, Oct. 26, '32. --- President Herbert Hoover's speeches in Des Moines, Ia., recently, and this city, last Saturday evening, were political "gems of the first water" and helped his candidacy more than all other efforts in his behalf up-to-date. His aggressive attitude in delivering the speeches has appealed strongest to the great mass of voters of the country and the information he gave was most illuminating indeed. Just what the people needed. Gov. George White (Dem.) is certainly open to severe criticism for his refusal to assist in the prosecution of those Ironton lynchers. He could have compiled with the request of the state N. A. A. C. P. to send the attorney-general. That was as little as he could have done. Our voters thrust out the state should not forget this on election day in November. It, too, shows why Ohio should have a Republican governor. We cannot imagine a request of that kind being made to Gov. David S. Ingalls and his refusing to comply with the same. The Pere Marquette line has replaced its Afro-American Pullman porters, running between Grand Rapids, Mich., and Detroit, with Filipinos. Some of the former had been on the run for thirty years. The Grand Rapids Morning Herald protests the change, saying among other things: "Four of the Afro-American porters are residents of Grand Rapids, own homes here and pay taxes. Moreover, they are good citizens and have the respect of the entire community." They are, too, native-born Americans. Their service was the best. Therefore, there can be only one reason for their dismissal and that is damnphool American prejudice. When John N. Garner, Democratic candidate for Vice-President, became speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives in 1931, all of the thirty-one Afro-American employees of the H. of R. were "let out" and their places given to southern "crackers." This same thing was practically done when Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for President, became governor of New York State, four years ago. This, better than anything else, shows their attitude toward our people as well as that of the Democratic party which is controlled by southern Democracy. Actions speak louder than words! It is well to remember this, especially at this time. JUDGE ALLEN WRONG Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 22d District, denounced the Hawley-Smoot tariff, Sunday afternoon, as an "instrument for the distribution of special privileges," in an address before St. James forum, this city. It was Democratic assault upon the tariff that brot on the economic depression of 1893 to 1898. The Judge is unwittingly perhaps, encouraging a similar distressing experience for the country at large during the first few years of the next administration—if Roosevelt and Garner should happen to be elected. This country cannot successfully compete with the cheap labor of Europe, something it would have to do in event of Judge Allen's and the Democratic stand on the tariff being endorsed at the November election. GO TO WILBERFORCE. In a letter to State Representative Wm. R. Pringle of this city, Prof. Howard D. Gregg, the new superintendent of the combined Normal and Industrial (State) department of Wilberforce University, says students receiving a certificate of scholarship from a state senator or state representative receive free tuition, personal attention, free room-rent, heat and light. The Hon. Jos. H. Silbert, a local member of the legislature, has already secured scholarships for a number of Wilberforce students. So prospective students here in Cleveland should communicate with either Mr. Silbert or Mr. Pringle, in preference to others, because they are especially interested in Wilberforce and our people. Prospective students elsewhere in the state should of course get in touch with a state representative or state senator in their own county. Under the new president, Dr. R. R. Wright of Philadelphia, a much brighter future has opened for Wilberforce University. Both its educational and moral status will be immeasurably raised and the institution improved in every other way. This our people of Ohio and the entire country can depend upon. Dr Wright knows he has a big job on his hands, and we know that a big educator and business man of unquestioned ability is "on the job." Prime Sport News Geo. Godfrey, champion heavy- weight, has been reinstated by the 'nennsylvania Boxing Commission after a two-year ban. New York City.—Kid Chocolate, sleek little Afro-Cuban, won himself more acclaim for his featherweight title, last week Thursday night, by technically knocking out Lew Feldman in the twelfth of a fifteen-round match that had the championship sanction of the New York State Athletic Commission. About 7,000 spectators gathered to see Chocolate whip Feldman for the third straight time. He "played" with his opponent until the seventh round and then proceeded to cut his man down in methodical fashion. He opened a deep cut across the bridge of Feldman's nose in this round and added to its depth with every punch thereafter. Twice floored Feldman in the final. Then the tenth and eleventh, he toyed with the New York fighter, content to spray his features and all but punch his nose from the list of recognizable features. Referee Patsy Haley called a halt after 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the twelfth. LESTER WALTON'S TRIBUTE To "The Old Reliable" Gazette—It Contains "News Nuggets"—Has Done "Yeoman Work." The year 1932 marks the 50th anniversary of the Cleveland Gazette which was founded and is still edited by the Hon. Harry C. Smith. No special edition marked the occasion and the only mention made of the day was in the following editorial note: "The editor of The Gazette wishes to acknowledge the receipt, last week of a box of fine linen handkerchiefs from Bishop and Mrs. E. Thomas Demby of Little Rock, Ark., in remembrance of The Gazette fiftieth anniversary. It was very kind, indeed, to so remember us. Mrs. Demby was former Miss Nettie Ricks, one of Cleveland's first young ladies of color, years ago." Although no large newspaper, the Gazette has done yeoman work in fighting segregation and other evils in Cleveland, Ohio, and throughout the country. The Age also extends congratulations. In the same issue of *The Gazette* is the following news-item of interest to New Yorkers: "Mills Bears Brothers Born $115,000," "New York City—Of the $588,000 earned for the year, ending August 1, by the 25 stage acts put into devile and picture houses by the Columbia University radio talent, $115,000 was earned from the now famous Mills Brothers, Ohio "radio" boys, who headed the list. These figures are for stage appearances only and not for outside work. If the earnings for outside work were added, the figures would, in all probability, reach a much higher number. The Columbia Artists Bureau pocketed nearly $110,000 profit from these stage acts. The marketing targets are often found in *The Gazette* while larger publications cover the crime and scandal of the day—N, Y, Age. AN EDITOR'S WEALTH Wife Asks the Court for $2,000 a Month--she's Been Getting $2,000 a Month--she's Been Getting Chicago, Ill.—Atty, Nathan K.

Abbott of the Defender "has in excess of $335,000 in cash in two local banks, a Rolls Royce amber, a Pierce Arrow, a Cunningham, and a fleet of Fords, real estate, bonds and stock. Nevertheless, McGill claimed that Abbott's business was in much too feeble a condition to enable him to give Mrs. Abbott who is suing for a divorce, in excess of $50 a week. She wants $2,000 a month. Subscribe Now THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1932 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 3. See Section 6278. The term "serious injury" is the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the injury occurred, or from the county in which assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars (93 v. 142 5). Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 p. 162.6) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recovery provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the net succeeding tax levy for such recovery, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 $.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and may it favor of legal representatives of a victim 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.) WELL, JACK, ARE YOU FEELING BETTER? HERE'S AN INVITATION TO THE MOST EXQUISITE GOLF CLUB WHERE THEY DON'T ADMIT ANY MEMBERS UNTIL THEY ARE IN THE SOCIAL REGISTER I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY TUNNEY 143 Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disparse 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 enforced 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, bar-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color the full enjoyment, the acceptance of accommodations, 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 fifty dollars, and any 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. ONE OF OUR PASTORS Leaves Tenants Life—Use of Property—Rooms for Relatives. Columbus, O.—Tenants of several pieces of property, owned by the late Rev. James H. Payne, became their own landlords by terms of a will probated. Wednesday. Relatives and religious organizations also were made beneficiaries. Present tenants in his property are given the houses rent free for life, and one of his buildings, a bakery, was presented to the lessee. As for income from some of his other buildings, that will be divided between relatives and M. E. churches in Columbus and M. Tzion M. E. church at Cincinnati. One odd bequest concerned upstairs rooms in a building at Cincinnati. The rooms, the will specified, are to be held open for relatives for their use whenever they visit there. Further, he provided that at the termination of life estates created by the will, the property was divided into churches mentioned. No estimate of the value of the estate was made. Attention!

HALL'S, 7709 Cedar Ave. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discriminatory and racial realization in social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights." The "Negroes" only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.----Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service Mike weird than the famous snake dance which was recently held by the Hopi Indians, perhaps, are the firewalking ceremonies held by East Indians of the Strait Settlements. This ceremony draws thousands of devotees to the ceremonial stage. The yard of the temple in which the main act is staged is thronged with people and the streets for many blocks around overflow with humanity, Hindus, Chinese and Malays make up the bulk of the audience but there are also tourists from many parts of the world to witness the spectacle. modern Delhi, had one queen pal, the deity invoked at a val. These five kings had sins who envied their positivity, their leader, conceivably whereby he could obtain the kingdom. He invited the Ia a gambling party at his pouch through trickery won their kis. Duryodhana then sent for a higher power protector by making her garr ending. Through sheer ex Duryodhana finally gave up tempt to disrobe Drapaul, united his turban and yowed The task of wending your way through this seething mob is as difficult as that of finding a place in a New York subway express during the rush hour and vastly more unpleasant, for most of these human beings wear practically no clothing. It is with a thankful sigh of relief that one sinks into a chair on a balcony and looks down upon the throngs, composed chiefly of spectators. There are several hundred devotees, including a number of women. Some kneel and touch the earth with their foreheads, while others, more devout, literally grove in the dirt. A few endeavor to crawl or roll completely around the temple, a task which would be difficult if the path was clear and covered with velvety moss instead of being rough, crowded, and thick with dust. Elderly men seem at the end of their strength when they complete their self-appointed penance, although friends accompany them and lift them over drains and other hindrances. Many of those who have made a vow to undergo torture have prepared their bodies the preceding month by some form of penance and have refrained from eating for a day before the event. While these zealots are proceeding with their tasks, a bed of coals is prepared. Great piles of wood are burned to embers; then the ashes are raked into a nest bed about 24 feet long. At the end of the mass of live coals is dug a pool, which is filled with milk brought to the spot in earthenware jars. The images of the gods are then brought from the temple and placed near this pool of milk. Dash Across the Embers. When all seems in readiness, one hears the sound of drums and a stir of excitement sweeps over the crowds. This signifies the return of devotees from the Serangoon road temple, whither they go to complete final preparations. The next instant two men appear with a goat, one holding the frightened creature's head and the other a hind leg. Another man raises a scythe-like knife and in an instant the head is severed from the body. A fourth participant snatches the quivering, bleeding body and runs around the bed of coals, then disappears in the throng. By this time the uninimated might be feeling desperately ill, but with no possible chance of escape, for the crowds are now in a frenzel state and it would be unsafe to leave one's refuge. The staring eyes of the devotees seem glued upon the idols at the other end of the path of glowing embers. Finally the priests who hold back the devotees begin to lash them with whips, and one by one they make a dash, barefooted, across the red hot coals into the pool of milk. Each participant wears a short covering of cheesecloth stained yellow by saffron water, and each carries in his hands, clenched above his head, a twig of green from a tree supposed to possess curative properties. The wrists are tied together with yellow amulets. If the person is pure, the amulet will remain unbroken. The priests sometimes strike a devotee several times, and then give the wrists a stinging blow before releasing him. Not one flinches, nor do any appear to have felt the cut of the whip. Some run and some walk slowly through the coals. The women seem much calmer than the men. Some of them carry babies in their arms. Legend of Draupad. A legend seems to be at the base of the origin of this ceremony. The Pandus—five brothers who reigned in former Hastinapurn, 60 miles from modern Delhi, had one queen, Draupdi, the delty invoked at this festival. These five kings had some cousins who envied their position. Duryodhana, their leader, conceived a plan whereby he could obtain the coveted kingdom. He invited the Pandus to a gambling party at his palace and through trickery won their kingdom. Duryodhana then sent for the queen and endeavored to disrobe her in public. A higher power protected her chastity by making her garments unending. Through sheer exhaustion, Duryodhana finally gave up his attempt to disrobe Draupdi, who then untied his turban and vowed that she would not retwine it until her enemies had been destroyed, and then she would bathe in fire as a proof of her chastity. A war followed, and when the Pandus were the victors Draupdi performed her vow. Today she is worshiped as one of the seven goddess of chastity, and even the mention of her name is enough to "wine away all sins." Walking through fire has become a custom for the curing of bodily ill or the overcoming of other calamities. Faith in the efficacy of these ceremonies is absolute. Suppose some member of one's family has suffered a serious illness, over which the medical man seems to have no power. One makes a vow to perform Tremuri or Tai Pusam and the recovery begins at the end of the ceremony. Or suppose one is filled with gratitude for blessings which have been bestowed or is desirous of having favors vouchsafed in the future. Again a vow is made to walk on fire or deocrate the body with needles thrust into the flesh, and all will be well. To the Hindu god Subramanya, son of Siva, the Tai Pusam vows are made. This three-day ceremony takes place in Singapore in January. Weeks in advance the participants prepare themselves by abstaining from the routines of life. The first day of the ceremony the silver car, which is the palanquin of the image of the god, is brought forth from its shelter in the courtyard of the Tank road temple, dusted and polished, then drawn to the South Bridge road temple, where it remains under a canopy until the third day. On the car is a thronelike seat for Subramanya. Martyrs of Subramanya. On the second day the difficult part of the vow is performed. Although the devotees begin early in the morning, it is usually late afternoon before all have had a chance to become self-made martyrs. The participants—men, women, and children—gather in the grounds of the temple and bathe in a well the water of which has been blessed previously by the officiating priest. The image of the god is garlanded with flowers, most intricately and artistically arranged, and showered with offerings of rice, bananas, coconut, betel leaf, and other delicacies. The vow-maker is now closely surrounded by his friends, who chant passages from the Vedas, here and there inserting in unison the cry of "Aro Harra." Next, powdered ashes, which may or may not be prepared to relieve the sensitivity of the skin, are dusted over the body. The flesh is sometimes pounded with the edge of the land, causing the skin to rise. Within eyeshot sits a Tamil clad in a loincloth and silver pins. Two temple officials, one on each side, prepare the martyr for his three-mile pilgrimage to the temple on Tank road by thrusting pins into his flesh. His chest, his back, his forehead, his arms and thighs, are entirely covered with small, shining V-shaped pins. He seems almost in a state of coma and his eyes roll in their sockets until at times only the whites are visible. The observer finds himself also in the midst of another group, watching the priests thrusting long spearlike needles through holes in the metal laths of a famile arch over another devotee. These needles, which are from two to three feet long, have to be fastened securely in the flesh of the chest and back in order to hold in place this heavy metal canopy. Through his chest is thrust a silver swerve, which protrudes an inch or more on each side of his face. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1932. Jumper Frock a Smart Campus Item Jumper Frock a Smart Campus Item THE BALLET FASHION has re-discovered the jumper or guillem frock, if you so prefer to call it. Now that this interesting type of dress has been put on the map again, joy reigns in the realm of campus, school room and office, for was there ever or could there ever be any style of frock more practical than the one which can change its sleeves and its neck-line effect at a moment's notice simply by taking onto itself a different blouse or guillem? Most of the fashion columns and pictures and cables from Paris are delivering the message of contrasting sleeves and no doubt the revival of the jumper frock is directly traceable to this influence. As one designer expresses it, "they make the frock"—such as, for instance, sleeves of tissue metal cloth or those which are muchly be-spangled or embroidered which sound a brilliant note for some of the handsomest velvet, satin or crepe dinner gowns shown in the new collections. Which all goes to show that the call for contrasting sleeves seems to be "opportunity knocking at the door" of the jumper frock to become formal when it so elects. Which is exactly what has happened—formal as well as informal jumper or guipure dresses. The velvet gown cut low to the waistline with suspender-like straps over the shoulder worn with a generously sleeved blouse or guipure of exquisite lace is one of the new numbers on the program of stately evening costumes. The jumper frock of black rough crepe shown to the left in the picture is a most practical type for the campus, since it permits of variety and freshness of appearance by merely substituting different blouses. In this instance the blouse with its stylish wide-at-the-armhole sleeves is made of 100 The frock of rough-surfaced crepe which has satatin sleeves is playing a stellar role in the new autumn fashions. Usually the sleeves are very wide at the armbone or they are apt to be leg o' mutton style or some styling along generous lines which makes them conspicuous for according to the dictate of style creators, sleeves must be made the center of attraction. The scarf of satin tied in a soft bow at the neck adheres to the new high-about-the-throat silhouette. Detachable Furs for Autumn Coats Latest Coats coming out for autumn wear are cut on depression lines, which really means that it is going to be very fashionable to have detachable fur trimmings that can be used on various clothes. First fall fashions being seen on the rue de la Paix indicate many separate capelets, draped collars and scarves and sets to be worn with several frocks and coats. Straight long coats, tied-on effects and buttoned up ones are on the style card. crepe so as to simulate shirring. Plaid to wear with his same black crepe frock is a timely suggestion, for the outlook is for a **bplaid season**. Designers are doing very interesting and novel things with plaid and they especially sponsor the jumper frock worn with a plaid blouse. Perhaps there is none more attractive than the blouse made of plaid velvet, and the best of it is, it's "different" and, it goes without saying, extremely flattering. Another argument in favor of contrasting guimpes is they make possible the transforming of formal evening frock into a less formal afternoon type. The picture to the right is a good illustration of this. One of its clever points is that the dress wraps around and ties at the side to the back so that when off it can be laid flat and folded for traveling—ideal for the college girl's wardrobe. A new color combination this season and one which is becoming very popular is pink with the new dark red wine shades. For the jumper frock this color alliance is very effective, the dress, of course, being in a deep wine shade with pink rough crepe or a triple sheer weave for the blouse. Another attractive idea is the blouse of lace dyed the same color as the dress which is posed over it. © 1922, Western Newpaper Union. GAY COLORS MARK NEW SPORTS SUITS The new sports clothes for fall will appear in every color of the well-known rainbow. Especially the knitted things. Of course, the dark browns and hunter's greens, the wine reds and navy blues won't be crowded off the fashion map. But they are to be joined by a riotous array of colors. The new knitted sports suits, many with long belted coats and others in the popular swagger suit styles, will appear in multi-colored stripes, plaids and gay solid colors. Bright shades of red and green will be prominent on the sports fashion map. For instance: Emerald, pea green, rust pimiento, cherry red and the lighter wines. The dark sports suits will be brightened up by gaily striped sweaters and blouses. "Down-in-Front" Effect The new down-in-front hats are most alluring, most amusing. The hat itself is set rather high up on the head, but a soft little feather fancy or a soft little bow comes down over the brow at one side. They are most becoming, these new hats, and far more becoming to many women than the off-the-forhead hats ever were. Velvet and wool jerseys are used for some of the new little hats that are shown now in Paris. They are light and soft and altogether most charming. And they are made, of course, in all the smart color combinations. Chiffon Quite Correct for Wear in Evening Quite correct is printed chiffon, even if some women have declared themselves against prints for evening. A pretty evening frock is of black chiffon with a small floral print in green, white and red. Wide shirrings give the waistline a wide belted look and the frock has a tiny vestee of alencon lace and there are white velvet flowers just above the waistline. Making a sensation these days are some most original feather boas. With a white chiffon dress one woman wears a boa of white coq feathers, wired to curve up gracefully over the shoulders. FELICITATIONS. Cleveland, O., Aug. 18, '32; Hon. Harry C. 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! Seventy-five of the 87 years of my life have been spent in this, my present home, and during all these years I have worked as a 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, passed away, but both you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette have remained, and, miracle dictu, are still on the floor. It is God's doing. He has preserved and protected you both to struggle and "ry aloud" for the rights of our poor hopefully struggling class. 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 anniv- ersary of your paper. You have done a great work in these years and my hope is that you may be spared many years to con- tinue 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. 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 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 sick for 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 we can 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.) Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 2, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend Smith:—It is with a feeling of satisfaction that I read of the celebration for "would 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. Since early Jim Shield. (Shield & Spritz.) 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 would not recall it, but my first job in life was selling The Gazette in belfast and Paine in the 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." "Go On 50 Years More." New York City, Oct. 8, 72. 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 since 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. 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 have been given the service Smith for the long years of unselfish 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 C. Smith and The Gazette have been fighting for 40 years, and his statemate Editor Dayton 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 my issue I have been told that its肩 is uphole 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, thru your paper, to condemn Roosevelt and Garner. I do not want to see Garner elected because he is from the Union, 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 (JohnSharp Williams of Mississippi) died, a few days ago, God did the race a great favor. COPLAND FOR SENATOR After all is said and done there is no more important office than that of Legislator in the Ohio General Assembly. This body in a large measure passes the laws pertaining to the life, liberty, property and happiness of all our citizens of the state. This county will elect eighteen State Representatives and six State Senators, Nov. 8, 32. There are twelve candidates for the State Senate, six of whom are to be elected. We unhesi- 37 ODSEY tatingly recommend the candidacy of Atty, David Copland, one of the candidates for State Senator. He is honest, able, fearless and independent, and has lead the Legislative ticket in every ward in the county where our people predominate. He has many loyal friendships among our people because he has always championed our cause. When elected, Mr. Copland had helped poor The social, economic and political problems of the day demand a man of his calibre, as one of our State Senators from Cuyahoga County, and The Gazette unhesitatingly recommends him—Adv. ATTY, CORNELIUS MALONEY A True Friend of the Race, a Candida date 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 the state 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, giving unintentibly of the best that was in him, even to his most humble client. His activities and utterances in the interest of Afro-American clients thru the whole course of public career have caused many of the state's pro-poisoners to actively oppose him this time, and 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. The Word, "Negro." The Word. Negro. We colored Americans' worst blunder is use of the word Negro as a race name. It is used in imbibing the minds of white people with the fool idea that we are not Americans, and not fully human beings. — Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter in the Boston Guardian. JUDGE JAMES B. RUHL Introducing a Life-Long and Real Friend of the Race—One of the Best Judges on the Common Pleas Bench. The above is an excellent portrait of a long-time friend not only of the editor of The Gazette but also of all of our校董 community. We are producing him to the readers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, at this time, because he is a candidate for re-election to the common pleas bench of this county. Judge James B. Rulh, of Cleveland, was born May 21, 1864, on a farm near Lisbon. He attended the district school, prepared for college at David Anderson High school (Lisbon, and earning his way to teaching, was graduated from Ohio Northern university with the degree of B. S in 1888; M. S. and LL. B., in 1891; and LL M., in 1905, receiving P. A. LL, D. from his alma mater in 1922, and from Mt. Union college in 1926. He was superintendent of public schools of McComb, O., 1888-89; instructor in mathematics, Ohio Northern university, 1899-91; and read law in the university at the same time. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio, June 4, 1891; U. S. district court, 1893; U. S. supreme court, 1901; and has engaged in the practice of law in Cleveland continuously since admission. Married, April 2, 1894. His wife died, February 23, 1895. He was a member of the Board of Examiners for admission to the bar of Ohio, 1902-7. Tax commissioner, Cuyahoga County, 1915.

He married again in 1927. He served as a private first class captain and treasured adjutant, Fifth Reg. O. N. G., and a member of Alpha Tau Oma fraternity, the Delta Theta Phi law-fraternity, the Knights of Fatha and the Presbyterian church. A wonderful record. ATTY. D. M. BADER A Thoroly Competent and Strong Republican Candidate for Probate Judge, Subject to the Election, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1932. Mr. Bader, a resident of Lakewood, this county, whom the editor of The Gazette has known intimately since the fall of 1894, has practiced law very successfully in Cleveland since that year, and is well-known as a leading member of the local bar. Atty. Bader, who has a wife, three children and two grandchildren, completed his sophomore year at Ohio Wesleyan University, Deleware, his home county where he was born and reared on a farm, remaining until 21 years of age. He completed his studies at Ohio Wesleyan in June, 1892; then entered the law department of the University of Michigan, after which he was admitted to the bar. This was in June, 1894, when he came to Cleveland where he has ever since practiced his profession successfully. This has fitted him to make a county one of the best probate judges it has ever had. Therefore, The Gazette has no hesitancy in highly recommending Atty. D. M. Bader to all of our voters of this county—Adv. WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in life struggle. I take off my hat in the face of a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)
