Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, City.
Dear Mr. Smith: —Thank you very
much for sending me a copy of The
Gazette of November 19th, containing
your very fine tribute to Mr. Chesnutt, and as a writer
Mr. Chesnutt held you in high regard, and I am sure would be pleased
to receive your high praise.
He deserved it in every way, too.
Likes "The Old Reliable."
So, Euclid, O., Nov. 21, 1932.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Editor:--I'm a constant reader of The Gazette and have been for years. It's indeed a helpful and newsy paper. Working out here in the country, I don't get in town very often, but The Gazette brings me all of the news.
Thanks to you, Mr. Smith, for the prompt delivery of The Gazette.
Yours truly.
Kluxers Are Active, Again.
Wisner, La. —The lynch-murder of Wm. House, age 26, by a ku klux klan that took him from the Wisner town marshal, was revealed, Monday, with the finding of his body suspended from a tree near here. The kluxers in Georgia and all thru the South were very active in assisting to nominate and elect Roosevelt and Garner. They will be very active for the next four years, at least.
HEAR! HEAR!!
The
ROUNDER
The seven wards in the city to go Republican, Nov. 8, 32, were the 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 26th, the last by 10 votes. The Afro-American vote dominates the 11th, 12th and 17th; is about 50-50 in the 18th ward, and dominates several precincts in the 19th ward. It was the body of the city Republican vote at the recent election.
The Rounder believes that Common Pleas Judge James B. Ruhl, who was defeated, Nov. 8, '32, for reelection by the Democratic landslide, would make an ideal Republican candidate for mayor, next year. He is one of the best judges on the local bench, stands high in this city because of his splendid ability and record as a jurist, and his consistent Republicanism of many years. Former mayor of the city was the Republican candidate at the last city election and was defeated, and Ex-Mayor and Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis are the two known Republican candidates for mayor at this time. But all things considered, Judge Ruhl would make the strongest candidate if he can be persuaded to stand. Therefore, The Rounder suggests that Leader Maurice Maschke and his assistant organization give some thought and consideration to our suggestion of a Ruhl candidacy for mayor, next year. This for obvious reasons as well as those stated.
Additional Local
President Hoover's invitation to President-elect Roosevelt to confer with him on the war debts and other governmental problems was accepted by the latter but not taken advantage of. He listened and talked very little, making no commitments of any kind. As a matter of fact he refused to confer. The statement that congressional Democrats have unanimously decided that there is to be no concession, rejection or other moratorium of the war debts" is sure good news that Roosevelt's visit to the nation's capitol brot out, Tuesday.
On Thursday, December 1st, the local branch of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, will present the fourth of a series of lectures, which it has inaugurated during the current school year, in the Mather Room of the Phillis Wheatey Association. The lecturer will be Arthur Cole, the history professor U. and his topic, "The 'Negro' in the Ante-Bellum South." A dinner at 6 p. m. will precede the lecture and plates for this can be reserved through Dr. Arthur S. Scott, 3404 Central Ave.
Common Pleas Judge Harrison W. Ewing, Wednesday refused a writ of mandamus, sought by Mrs. Carrie H. Thornhill, who asked that Safety Director Frank J. Merrick be compelled to replace her as matron of the jail at Central Police Station. Mrs. Thornhill was discharged by Merrick, March 16. She charged that the dismissal violated civil service regulations because the job had not been left vacant, but had been filled by another woman. The city contended that the other woman was employed only as a "blower." Judge Ewing did ask Mrs. Thornhill had been "laid off" within the provisions of civil service. She was represented by Atty. Alex. H. Martin, and the city by Assist. Law = Director Wm. C. Dixon.
TO LOSE THEIR JOBS!
Some of the Afro-American Republicans to Vacate After Roosevelt and Garner Are Sworn In, March 4, 1933.
Washington, D. C.—After the 4th of next March, the following will in all probability have to seek other employment.

Virginia, Envoy extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Liberia, salary $10,000; Jefferson S. Coage of Delaware, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, $5,000; and his wife of W.

Jackson of the department of commerce.
FULLINLEY NO BANDIT.
How Mayor Miller and Safety Director Merrick Treated the Committee Protesting His Killing.
A committee of 14 persons of both races, elected at a mass meeting of the International Labor Defense, last week Thursday, at Central High school, went to Safety Director Merrick demanding an investigation of the case of Edward Fullinley who was killed by a policeman on the supposition that he had committed a hold-up. Mr. Merrick said to the committee that "any person who runs out of a store will be killed without any warning." His statement was made by Merrick, who was in charge, in face of the fact that investigation proved that Fullinley did not commit a hold-up but went to this place to ask for back-wages. Several times he had gone there asking for back-pay and each time the proprietor, Joseph Plotnart, 2250 Ontario St., had said he didn't have it and telling Fullinley to come back. Finally, last week Wednesday, he went again to the store and demanded his money. The proprietor still refusing, Fullinley told him that if he did not give him the few dollars, he would take an overcoat. These the facts, according to the I. D. Merrick, before Merrick, he said that he "conducted an investigation, and the killing was justifiable homicide." The committee also attempted to see Mayor R. T. Miller, but he was too busy greeting football players and "did not have time to see the committee" that was protesting the brutal killing of an unemployed worker.
THE KU KLUX KLAN
Revived by the Election of Roosevelt of New York and Georgia and Garner of Texas.
Birmingham, Ala.—On the same day that the U. S. Supreme Court ordered a new trial for the seven (boys) Negroes, sentenced to death assault on ochre for (alleged) criminal assault on two girls, a crowd of 2,000 unemployed men and women assembled in front of the City Hall in Birmingham to hear radical speeches and to demand food and money from the City Commission.
The assemblage, composed principally of Negroes and said to have been called by a local Communist organization, was dispersed by the police after pamphlets had been circulated from an undisclosed source threatening those participating in the demonstration with action by the Ku Klux Klan. Subsequently, the City Commission received a committee representing the assemblage and promised attention to individual cases of distress.
Found $150!
New York City.—Love Powell, a handman laborer, found an old vest, Saturday week, around the W. 47th police station. Instead of taking it to the police station, he got over to Lieut. Oscar Johnson, at the house who found $150 in currency in it.

RESULTANT UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
The Beginning of the End of Lynch-Murder—Equality in Matters of the Law—Must Demand Every Right.
The U. S. Supreme Court has given the Negro a new freedom. No decision, in the last fifty years, has carried with it such far-reaching results as the one handed down by this court. It has brought the Fourteenth Amendment into living and vital reality. It struck a blow at the policy of the South which has kept chains and prisons filled with Negroes who were denied the right of per man per the U. S. Constitution. This deprivation a door to the Negro that will admit him to equality and justice before the law on par with all other groups. It has stiffened the backbone of the Negro so he can dare stand up and demand his citizen-rights in all things that come under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Some of the practical results are as follows: (a) Southern courts must also treat him as an American citizen or be overruled an American child or world as a lawbreaking section, and its decisions will not be resected.
(b) It also means that every Negro criminal in the South can demand that one of his own race be placed on the trial jury. The law requires the courts to try a man by his peers. As the South is so unfair and biased in its judgments concerning the Negro, he cannot get justice, save in a very few cases the unbiased person be placed on the jury. It is vital to the interest of the Negro that one of his race, that is intelligent, manly and fearless, be placed on juries to see to it that justice is rendered him. (c) This decision is the beginning of the end of lynching, as it will enhearten the jailers to protect Negro prisoners as they do other prisoners, for the highest court in America to judge. The colored man in matters of the law. The southern white hoodlums that cowardly wait a man is appre-
CLEOTA COLLINS LACY
Enters Suit for Divorce—Asks Alimony and Charges Non-Support—Wants Columbus Property She "Practically Paid for."
Mrs. Cleota Collins Lacy filed suit for divorce, Nov. 15, against her husband, Atty George Corinth Lacy, charging violation of martial duties and obligations for more than nine years; that he has failed to support her and provide her with the ordinary necessities of life—food, clothing and shelter; and that she "was thus forced to support herself."
Mrs. Lacy asked for alimony; that the court issue an order permitting her to file her case without prepayment of cost which she, a professional musician, maintaining a studio, is unable to do owing to the economic depression; and says that he earns more than $100 a month, being in the employ of the city, and is amply able to pay the cost; that she and her husband are joint-owners of a piece of property in Columbus which she practically paid for and asks the court to release her husband's interest in said property to apply on alimony. Mrs. and Mrs. Lacy were married, Nov. 6, 1917, at Greenwich, Conn. She gives her age as 37 and her husband's, as 36. She is the daughter of Rev. Ira A. Collins, former pastor and builder of the present St. Johns A. M. E. church-edific; while he is the Democratic leader in Ward 17 of this city.

Richards (white), a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates and one-time large scale applegrower of this region, was sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary, recently, for a statutory offense committed against a minor girl of color, age 11.

selves if this thing is safe, since
southern courts must give an account
of its judicial conduct when violative of the Fourteenth Amendment. To measure up to this responsibility which this decision has laid upon him, the colored man must take himself seriously, demand for himself every right the Fourteenth Amendment gives and in turn be ready to acquit himself like a man when the opponent is the Scotshoro boy-victims are entitled to a change of venue and also to have competent and right-thinking colored persons on their trial jury. This decision shows the futility of attempting to force a favorable decision by lawlessness. The Negro cannot afford to ally himself with lawbreakers in his fight for judicial fairness. And yet those who sponsored and handled the case deserve the high commission. They fought well and victoriously. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Harlem, the Afro-American section of N. Y. City, went strongly Democratic at the recent election.

Afro - American Democrats who
have their political "lightning-rods"
up for a job under the Roosevelt-
Garner administration are due for a
disappointment in the great majority
of cases, national, state and local, as
usual.
---
No sooner was the announcement of the election of Roosevelt and Garner made than the Ku Klux Klan renewed its activities, particularly in the South, a forerunner of what is to come in the next four years in both that section and this.
---
The disgraceful outcome of the Fortesque-Massie case was resented in the Hawaiian election, Nov. 8, '32, causing one of the most complete ousting of Republicans from office in the history of the island. This is as it should be and very creditable indeed to the Hawaiians.

The selection of Mr. Earle Martin as editor of the Cleveland Daily News is an excellent one. If anyone can do for that paper what is needed, it is Mr. Martin, a journalist of long and wide experience. Mr. Dan R. Hanna, publisher of the News, has shown excellent judgment in the selection of Mr. Martin as editor and news executive of the News. The new editor starts off with the best wishes of about every newspaper man in the community.

President Herbert Hoover and President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will have no difficulty in agreeing upon an insistence on the December payments due from England, France and several other European countries, because they know the temper of the great mass of Americans when it comes to postponement of payments and cancellation of foreign debts. England, the country that loaned to other allies at a higher rate of interest than it was paying this country money the United States loaned it during the world war, ought to be the last country in the world to seek postponement of its payments to this country.
NORTH AND SOUTH.
Henry T. Johnson, age 21, a member of the race, was sentenced to fifty years in the Missouri penitentiary on a charge of criminal attack on Mrs. Emma Deitz (white), last week Wednesday. Boyd R. Richards (white), a former member of the Virginia state assembly and one-time large applegrower of the Winchester, Va., region, was sentenced to ten years in the Virginia penitentiary, recently, for criminal assault on a girl of the race, age 11. This is the rule. Missouri is practically a northern state and Virginia a southern state. Draw your own conclusions.
PORTERS COURT VICTORY.
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters secured an injunction against the Pullman Company in Chicago, last week, estopping its attempt to block the Brotherhood's fight for better wages and working conditions. This is a real victory, the but the beginning of a great court-battle which we sincerely trust will end favorably for our sleeping car porters of the Pullman Company. They are and have been for many years entitled to a living wage instead of being forced to depend upon tips, few of which they receive now owing to a country-wide influence against the giving of the same. Most of the porters are hardly able to earn a living and working hours have been increased. A. Phillip Randolph, their leader, conducted a lengthy battle for them for which he is entitled to great credit. The company has done everything in its power to hurt the movement.
Randolph Eide, president of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, heads a concerted drive in the Fourth Federal Reserve District to speed economic recovery through industrial rehabilitation. As chairman of the district's committee on industrial rehabilitation.
[Picture of a man with glasses and a suit].
Randolph Eide
Mr. Eide is directing a campaign throughout the district to urge industrialists to make capital expenditures for additional equipment and needed plant repairs when the work can be done inexpensively and create jobs in the capital goods in dustry.
Drive Is Nation-wide
The rehabilitation movement; which is an outgrowth of President Hoover's conference with the nation's business and industrial leaders last summer, is nation-wide in its scope. The National Rehabilitation Committee, of which the Fourth Federal Reserve District's committee is a branch, was created as one of six sub-comittees of the Central Banking and Industrial Committee. A. W. Robertson, national chairman of the rehabilitation committee, explains the purpose of the movement as follows:
"We propose to the manufacturer that he make his repairs and improvements, modernize his plant now, when prices are low, when he can get the most for his dollar and when every dollar he spends will be put to work immediately to aid employment and the businesses which employ his customers."
Nine Sub-headquarters
Mr. Eide and his co-workers are sounding this call to action throughout the Fourth Federal Reserve District, which includes Ohio, western Pennsylvania, a part of West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky.
To facilitate the campaign this territory is sub-divided into nine areas with headquarters in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pitsburgh, Akron, Youngstown, Toledo, Columbus, Davon, and Mansfield. General offices of the committee are directed from Cleveland, which in turn co-operates with the national headquarters at Pittsburgh.
PHONES PET DOG EVERY SATURDAY
Distance does not thwart W. E. Snyder, catering manager of a Cincinnati hotel, in carrying on a friendly chat every week with his pet dog, "Buttons." Each Saturday Mr. Snyder telephones from Cincinnati to the caretaker of his poultry ranch at Daniille, Ind., and "Buttons," to the receiver. She scratches at the mouthpiece, whines and "speaks" in response to her master's voice.
Long, Short of It
Telephone connections have ranged in length from 30 inches to 21,000 miles.
The longest connection ever made was a transoceanic call: between Los Angeles, Cal., and Sidney, Australia, and the shortest was between the talking picture stars, Buddy Rogers and Peggy Shannon, who were separated by only a sound proof wall.

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:
MOBS.

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall tute a "nunching" 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 injury 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 and assaulted by a mob, the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such 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 to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 162 5).
Section 6282.

If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among such persons in lynching to the degree 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. (99 v. 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 mob mob 633 v. 162 6.
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries 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 which tax law for the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counterfeit goods for such recovery (63 w. 162. 9).
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the lynching or county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color; the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained.
My soul is sick with every day's report.
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man; the natural bond.
Of brotherhood is severed as if fire.
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin.
Not colored like his own; and having power.
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause.
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother; and destroys:
Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.

How to Heal
BAD LEGS
Simply anoint the swollen veins and sores with Emerald Oil, and bandage your leg. Use a bandage three inches wide and long enough to give the necessary support, winding it upward from the ankle to the knee, the way the blood flows in the veins. No more broken veins. No more ulcers nor open sores. No more crippling pain. Just follow directions and you are sure to be helped. Your druggist won't keep your money unless you are.
Lost 20 Lbs.of Fat In Just 4 Weeks
Mrs. Mae West of St. Louis, Mo. writes: "I'm only 28 yrs. old and weighed 170 lbs. until taking one box of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I also have more energy and furthermore I've never had a hungry mom. Fat folks should take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—it's the SAFE, harmless way to reduce as tens of thousands of men and women know. For your health's sake ask for and get Kruschen Salts—the most delicious bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle and if after the first bottle you are not joyfully satisfied with results—money back.
ASSASSIN
A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called bashah in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assassin!

Toddling from Mother to Was Start of 'BIX'S' Ra
Toddling from Mother to 'Mike Was Start of 'BIX'S' Radio Career
Robert Bixby—'Bix' to his friends, the popular young juvenile who plays the part of Bobby Regent in that gripping radio serial "Chandu the Magician" first smelt grease paint at the age of four and he's been before the public ever since.
'Bix's' mother was an actress and so his transition from the nursery to the stage was inevitable. Between the ages of nine and eleven, he toured the East in various productions and when he was twelve, he made his debut as a radio singer.
After a year of that he went to the stage, where he played so many bad boys and incorrigible little brothers of leading women, that today at the age of twenty, his friends are kept in a quan- dary as to just what prank he'll think of next.
'Bix' isn't very tall, but he's fairly slim, has blonde hair and hazel eyes and is regarded as a typical American youth—for he doesn't believe in standing or sitting still for more than a minute at a time. As a popular young juvenile, at one time he edited a series of advertisements called 'Bobby Says—' all about what the well-dressed young man wears, and Bobby still says and knows.

I desire that the home on E. $55th St. be held in trust as a homestead for my husband, Frank O. Pridgeon, my father, Jos. Johnson, and all my sisters and brothers and their children if they desire to live there; that the executor or trustee pay off as much of the mortgage as he deems wise and those who remain in the home be charged with the payment of interest and reduction of the mortgage; that at the end of five years if the executor or trustee feel that it is in the best interest of the estate then he shall sell the property and invest or distribute the proceed among the demisees if agreeable to the majority of those surviving at that time.
After provisions of the above articles are cared for I desire that the balance of money from the $10,000 insurance be divided as follows: To Frank O. Pridgeon, my husband, $2,000 to be paid at once; to Jos. Johnson, my father, $500 to be paid at once; to each of my sisters and brothers $500 apiece to be paid when the executor or trustee feels it is the best interest of legatee; to Jos. Johnson, my nephew, $250 and to Bertha Speaks, my niece, $250.
Should any of the beneficiaries under the will object to the probate thereof, or in any wise directly or indirectly, contest or aid in contesting the same, or any provisions thereof, or in the substitution of my estate thereunder, then and in that event I annul any bequest herein made such beneficiary, and it is my will that such beneficiary shall be absolutely barred and cut off from any share in my estate.
I nominate, constitute and appoint my husband, Frank O. Pridgeon, and Atty. Thomas A. Frey executors of this my last will and testament.

ROBERT BIXBY
Going directly from nursery to stage was the unique experience of Robert Bixby, popular young radio and stage juvenile.
When 'an enthusiastic young voice' was needed to play the role of Bobby Regent in the 'Chandu the Magician' radio serial that is thrilling millions nightly, it was natural for 'Bix' to get the role.
Portraying the part of Bobby Regent with his customary energy and enthusiasm, 'Bix' regards it as the greatest role ever given to a youngster.

Highway of Races
CHEVENY
Prepared by National Geographic Society
Washington, D. L. - WNIL Service.
THE "Beautiful Blue Danube" which is not blue, but either muddy brown or green according to the rainfall in its valley, bids fair to increase in commercial prestige since the agreement at the recent Stresa conference-between 15 European nations regarding certain economic and political policies. For many years countries bordering the Danube have disagreed on trade routes, thus stifling trade on the most important navigable stream in central Europe. Flowing from the hills of Bavaria to the Black sea, the Danube has been called the highway of races because many races of both the Orient and Occident have navigated the stream and held parts of its 1,800 mile course.
As one travels from the Black sea, the maritime Danube is left behind at Turnu-Severin, at the head of its sprawling delta. There the Orient has been exchanged for the Occident—Moslem minarets for Greek-Orthodox domes, old Turkish gates for old Roman bridges. There a narrower Danube winds between blue, ever-lifting hills, the gateway to western Europe.
And there you may board one of the big river steamers that all summer long ascend or descend through half a dozen countries lying between the Black forest and Black sea. Hardly is Turnu-Severin astern when the traveler finds himself amid a wild swirl of waters, before whose terrific force his boat's progress more and more resembles the freak feat of trying to mount a descending escalator.
At last the shelter of an artificially walled channel is reached. Men call this two-mile stretch the Iron Gate, and doubtless the Argonautic heroes in their ascent gave it some equally forceful name, perhaps likening it to the battering club of Herakles.
For thousands of years the club battered, or if you prefer, the gates clanged, against craft that sneaked upshore, towed by battalions of men. At last, owing to the decisions of the Berlin Congress in 1878, the rapids of the lower Danube were regulated by Hungary at a cost of $9,000,000.
The Forgotten Island.
"There's Ada Kaleh," remarks a guide pointing to an islet off Orsova. "Folks call it the Forgotten island because the Berlin Congress overlooked it. Now, would you catch an island being overlooked in the Hudson? Why, there'd be an amusement park on it!" Ashore the traveler glimpses a quaint island colony of Bosnian Moslems, who long ago built their little houses amid the encompassing ramifications of a dismantled Turkish fortress. It is as peaceful a sight as that of wild flowers carpeting an old shell crater. On the Danube there are customs duties and enough local port regulations to make a sailorman go bald with worry. The river is more like a political conflict, with seven tickets in the field, which is to say, it flows through three kingdoms, one regency, two republics and a social democracy.
Its length is exceeded in Europe only by that of the Volga. Its navigable portion, as shown on the chart, totals nearly 1,600 miles; and a glance at its nine political sectors, of which three are joint—that is, shared by pairs of countries—reveal that almost one-third of the Danube's navigable length is thus shared by states which face each other from the river's opposite banks.
Presently the boat enters a sheer-faced gorge of sky-cutting profiles that incloses the observer in an endless vesta of rock-walled waters.
Through the Kazan Defile.
Silent as twilight, primitive as when the daedal Danube wrought this passage to the sea, the Kazan Defile might easily have seemed to the early Greeks the Charon-hunted Styx leading to the underworld. Their bards called the future Danube the fstros and dwelt in awesome terms on its "shadow-environed origin." thus placing its source at the head of the Kazan, where rapids still swirl malevolently over ledges of rock.
But the Greeks never permitted superstition to interfere with business. With sword in one hand and merchandise scales in the other they unloaded textiles pottery and arms on the
aborigines in excange for furs, hemp and slaves.
A sharp-eyed traveler may discover what appears to be some vandal's name scratched in capital letters on the sheer cliff-face of the defile and may be ready to compare it to "Otto Schwartz, Berlin," on the Pyramids, of "W. Brown, N. Y." on a spire of Milan cathedral. But with marine glasses he will find that the scratchings read: "Imp. Caesar. . . Traianus Aug. Germ. Pont. Maximus" Trujan, or any other Roman who could lead an army along the flat face of those river-washed cliffs by means of beam-supported galleries, he will agree, had a perfect right to cut his name there!
For two days and nights the boat churns ahead between wide plains, and on the third afternoon comes into sight of Belgrade (Beograd). Perched high over the confluence of the Danube and the Sava, the Jugoslav capital presents a striking picture. Few European cities are situated on two such waterways, whose navigable lengths within Jugoslavia total 720 miles.
Budapest a Stately City.
Not to know Budapest is to have missed one of the loveliest of European cities. It has its own distinctive statelliness that reflects the cultural flowering of a race whose kingdom has been enthroned on the Danube for a thousand years. As certain American metropolitan quarters, such as "Little Italy" or "Little Germany," reflect their mother countries in miniature, so Budapest's topography reflects on a small scale the lineaments of what, as a result of its longevity, is "Little Hungary." Ancient Buda, on the Danube's right bank, rears aloft on rocky crests that represent the foothills of Hungary's mountains, while on the other bank modern Pest stretches away in levels that prelude Hungary's plains.
After leaving Budapest, the boat heads for that cliff-fringed section of the Danube where it makes the big turn westward. Ahead rise the Little Curpathins, forming the background of a busy port scene of quays, cranes, canal boats clustered in slips—Pressburg, the German guidebook calls it. It commands a splendid panorama of the Danube's two arms encircling the Great Schacht, which local pride proclaims "the largest interior island in Europe."
To Vienna and Beyond.
Beyond Bratislava the river skirts Hainburg, a hillside picture of town walls, curious gates, crumbling towers. It is one of half a dozen Danube towns mentioned in the "Nibelungenlied" as being associated with the downstream journey of Burgundy's doomed knights. Beyond Hainburg the Danube's banks lower into the wide plain where lies Vienna. Owing to postwar exigencies, Vienna has achieved for its working classes a housing scheme which, planned to embrace 30,000 families, is "futuristic" only because of its novelty.
A visit to one Viennese palace of many—the Schonbrunn of Versailles-like aspect—reveals the luxury of the Hapsburg regime and its postwar siec transit under Austria's democratic republic; for the park where Maria Theresa once strolled and where the Napoleon of 1805 planned campaigns has become a Sunday pleasure of Vienna's workers.
Beyond Vienna Greifenstein's fine old castle rises into view, as you near the Danube's region of medieval strongholds. Steaming past the Wachan Defile's crag-set ruins, one reflects upon the formidable amount of trade that fell to them as a result of the Crusades.
In 1096 some 2,000 craft, packed with 40,000 Palestine-bound troops, descended the Danube. Three ensuing Crusades took the same route. There sprang up a river trade consisting of westbound silks, bronzes, spices, oils, and of eastbound furs, arms, and saddery. And the Danube castles took their toils and the flotsam rake-off of stranded cargoes, not to mention piratical seizures and the enslaving of ships' crews.
Castle Aggstein, the most dreaded of Danubian robber strongholds, must have had a great turnover in riparian loot and captive maidens. And Castle Durustein eclipsed all local records in the capture-and-ransom trade when its gates closed upon the royal prize. Richard Coeur de Lion.

SCARFS IMPORTANT IN FASHION SCHEME
Both Wool and Fur Used on Some New Coats.
Scarfs play a more important part in the new clothes than ever before. We thought they were essential last season and the season before that. But that was because we just didn't know what importance a scarf could reach.
Of course, fur collars will gain more and more weight as cooler weather comes. But the scarf will find a place for itself, too.
There are draped scarfs of white or colored crepe, perhaps eight inches wide, long enough to go from the belt and a little below, up around the neck, and down below the belt again. These scarfs are run through loops on the neckline of the dress, are twisted once at the neck at the front, and then the two ends are tucked under the belt.
There are plaid and striped wool scarfs, as part of new dresses and suits. Both hand made and machine made. These wool scarfs will be worn both with and without fur scarfs and collars. Some of the new coats are designed with both fur and wool scarf.
THE FASHION WEEKLY
Designers are "doing" velvet this season in the cleverest ways imaginable. The new ruche, cape, glove, muff and hat sets especially appeal to the imagination because of their cunning artistry. Milliners are now creating matching velvet accessories to go with the new hats. If your budget is not equal to the occasion and you happen to be handy in making pretty things for yourself, it's lots of fun to conjure these flattering little fantasies out of remnants of velvet—a set with each costume. Of course you couldn't make the gloves which are so very smart just now, but the ruches and necklets and cuffs are a simple undertaking and one can get such excellent patterns of "darling" caplets for a little shoulder cape is supposed to top most every costume these days.
STYLE NOTES
Wool lace is made up with velvet.
Coats with fur kerchiefs are good style.
Crankled satin crepe is quoted as a best seller.
Beaver is considered smart sports fur this season.
Black afternoon frocks with white fur accents are noted.
Soft woolens with featherlike surfaces are the wanted kind.
Short perky scarf ends give sprightly air to new necklines. Muffs take on new importance and they are all sizes and shapes. Dress design shows decided trend toward knee-length tunic influence.
Bias Cuts in Battle
Designers of dresses for 1933 may be divided into two schools—those who elongate toes, and those who have swapped over the skirt lines. The one favors the full skirt, which is more or less circular; the other contends that the straight skirt has more youth in its scanty lines. It seems to be a battle in which neither side is winner, for both types of designers make use of both types of cutting and line.
Onion Skin Is Newest
Color in Style Realm
One of the newest colors is called onion skin, which is a burnt sienna tone and very nice, too.
It may be just navy blue to you but to the fashion experts it may be any of a number of gradations of the good old standby tone. For instance in the range of navy blues there at the following tenes: Navy No. 3, Sistine, Peking, gobel flamish, Copenhagen and midnight.
INDIVIDUALITY IS
FASHION KEYNOTE
Wear What You Please Seems to Be Order of Day.
With the trend toward trimly fitted ribs, waistlines that vacillate undeclidely between the hips and diaphragm, bulging shoulders and bathing suit decolletage, mixed generously with the modes of last year, the year before and the year before that, the mode safely may be said to include anything in which you imagine you look sweete. It is apt to be marked as the year of individuality in dress, when every one was in style. Your figure permitting, you can pick your own latitude of waistline, and you can reveal as much back- and front—or as little, as your conscience dictates. Berry-toned velvets are much in evidence. These usually are used in the bodice, with crepe skirt of another berry tone. Besides the always-with-us satins, the colors most often seen are blackberry satin, geranium red and blueberry.
The cumberband sash wound around the ribs is very chic. This new-old device appeared in one costume in the black satin that formed a cape effect with striking width at the elbows. Toga scarfs which become wraps or capes at the wearer's will were another novelty.
MUCH SHIRRING
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Designers have taken to shirring this season. This flair for shirring is especially outstanding in the blouse realm. Most often it is the big full sleeves which are ornamentally shirred, and sometimes the bodice itself carries a note of shirring. Many Paris frocks stress shirring as sketched bereweth. The evening gown which is a Lanvin model in natter blue velvet introduces shirring at the waist and bipline. The afternoon dress from Mirande is of bronze green bagheera. The modish sleeves are deftly hand shirred.
FLASHES FROM PARIS
Tassels and fringe adorn the evening mode.
Neck ruches of wide velvet ribbon are made a feature.
Dinner dresses take on glittering beaded tops and sleeves. Designers are playing up shirring in elaborated effects. Purple, fuchsia and hyacinth the shades are given emphasis.
are sponsored for evening wear.
Plaid velvets are in favor for
the frock entire as well as accessories.
Formal and Informal
Dresses for Evening
The evening gown and Its multiple transformations make one of the most interesting chapters in the new fashion history of the winter 1932-1933. Take a simple one piece of the rust coat of importance now, with a square decolletage. For tea or cocktails a gump with sleeves just above the elbows and continuing into shoulders and worn over the shoulder straps. The material is of ivory colored satin and it dips down in the back but up clear to the neckline in the front, terminating in a V-shape over the square one underneath. For the restaurant dinner that is a bit gay yet informal, the gump of orchid or chiffon in black with double cuffs over the shoulders and a bateau neckline—this slipped under the shoulder straps. For the formal evening the entire decolletage left as the gown outlines it, square in front and not extremely low, and a deep V in the back to the slightly lifted waistline.
Striped.Blouse Is Worn
With New Sports Suits
Striped blouses are the "last word"
in chic for wear with sports suits or
tailleurs. Stripes vary from an eighth
of an inch to three inches, while fab-
rics include knitted effects, jerseys and
soft wools. One smart black wool
tailleur has a blouse of loosely woven
wool striped with narrow red, yellow
and black stripes.

And many hostesses are amused by the entertained at home these days by some of the same things that amused the gay young blades at the turn of the century. An evening that begins with the cordial and informal invitation "Come in for coffee and a drink" ends in a hilarious gathering around the piano to sing such old favorites as "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," "Sweet Alice Ben Bolt" and "In the Good Old Summer Time." Smart hostesses on small budgets are responsible for this simpler and more entertaining singing. No longer able to give large dinners they've discovered that

Good coffee need not be expensive and it can be made by any method—drip pot, percolator or regular coffee pot—if you observe a few simple rules. First be sure your coffee is freshly roasted so that it has every bit of the fresh flavor and aroma that makes coffee so desirable. Secondly remember to have your grocer grind it correctly for your method of making it or you won't get the full flavor of the fresh coffee. Find grind for drip pot, medium grind for percolator and coarse grind for the old fashioned.

One rounded or two level tablespoons of coffee to one measuring cup of water is the rule for breakfast coffee and may be used for after dinner coffee. Many people think the best after dinner coffee is stronger than water, as much as one cup of water. Allow your coffee to brew not more than 8 minutes by any method, and you'll contribute much to your reputation as a hostess.
