Champion Seed Corn Grower
William H. Jacques of Prescott, Pierce County, Wis., one of the best known seed corn growers in the Northwest, reports a 75-bu. per acre yield of sound seed corn this year in spite of a dry season. His use of a special fertilizer for corn manufactured by The American Agricultural Chemical Company brought him a crop figure in larger than measured in his sec- tion and measured an early and a full maturity for seed. "In this area where growing seasons are short, early maturity as well as high yields are necessary for profitable production," says Mr. Jacques.

New Haven, Conn.—Three baby girls are alive and well, in an incubator at Grace hospital, children of Mrs. E. Horning (white) who gave birth to quadruplets. The fourth baby also a girl, died shortly after birth.
The ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Josecelyn Horridge, age 40, of 2758 Euclid Heights Blds., was finned $580 and costs by Criminal Judge Baen after he pleaded guilty to a charge of felonious assault on a 10-year-old girl.—The Cleveland News. Would Horridge have gotten off here he had been an "Afro?" Forty years old and as saulting a ten-year-old girl! Well well, WELL!
Common Pleas Judge-Elect Arthur H. Day owes his success, in local politics, more to the mass-support of our voters than to that of any other group in the county and according to custom should appoint one of our number bailiff; pay $2800 a year. This rule is the one that has been followed by nearly all of the other judges of the various city and county courts. Wonder who will get the prize.
Here is an item for the local branch of the Association for The Study of Afro-American Life and History:
Between thirty and forty years ago, Lloyd Bowman, a brother-in-law of Wm. McIntire, of this city, was a clerk in Marshall's drug store, corner of the public square and W. Superior Ave., and E. R. Hull and Co., which was purchased by the May Co., at the request of the editor of The Gazette offered a clerkship to Walt H. Cliff the Pullman service en route west and afterward a member of the Ohio legislature from this county. Mr. Cliffd died in Washington, D. C. a year or two ago.
Last Monday week when The Rounder was passing thru the Old Arcade, going from Prospect Ave. to Euclid Ave., ahead of him were several so-called Negro Democrats, all smiling and apparently in the best of moods in the city to City Hall. They seemed to have stopped smiling later that morning. What is the trouble? It is only the beginning of a repetition of the experience they had after the election earlier in the year when they attempted in vain to get the Democrats to keep the promises made them.
"Elimination of the blighted areas will not cost the taxpayers a cent," counselman Ernest Bohn said, referring this is a private venture intended to be financed by private capital."
Well, WELL! Just as The Rounder that from the very first. They have purposely greatly undervalued the property in the Central Ave, district and want and expect to "clean up" aplenty there. However, the property owners in that section of the city will see about that! Bohn also said Cleveland should take steps as soon as possible to obtain its desired backing from the Reconstruction Finance Corp., for only $75,000,000 is available and New York City intends to ask for $50,000,000.
La Barba to Battle the "Keed" Again
New York City — A fifteen-round match for the featherweight championship will be the feature attraction of the annual Christmas Fund boxing show, schedule at Square 100, "Kid's Colgate" now generally recognized as the leader of the class, will box Fidel La Barba of Los Angeles, who won the Olympic and professional championships as a flyweight and who decisively defeated Tommy Paul after the latter won the National boxing championship. "Chocolate" and La Barba have met twice and the coming contest will be the "rubber" match.
& SHOP JONES'
FUNERAL SERVICES
Largely Attended-Owen Elected President and Haitheox Re-elected Secretary of the Board of Citizenship
Wilberforce, O.—Bishop Joshua H. Jones, age 76, of the A. M. E. Church, father of Prof. Gilbert H. Jones, for some years, until recent months, president of the school, died here, Thanksgiving. The deceased was born in Lexington county, South Carolina, June 15, 1856. He took work at Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Wilberforce University, his graduation from Clark University, st. Louis. He pastored various charges in the A. M. E. Church and also served as a member of the faculty of Wilberforce University, to the presidency of when he was elected in 1909. He held that post until 1908 when he was elected to the episcopacy of the Church. His first assignment was as a pastor in district in Tennessee and Alabama, which he served until 1912. He then was transferred to the 10th district, comprising all of Texas. He remained there until he was appointed to succeed Bishop C. T. Shaffer (deceased) of the 3rd district, comprising Ohio, West Virginia and western Pennsylvania. He rebuilt Shaffer hall at a cost $200,000 and was destroyed by fire. It is one of our largest school buildings. The financing of this project was one of the major accomplishments of the bishop's career. He remained as head of the 3rd district until 1928 when he was transferred to the First district, comprising New York and the New England Conference. He was temporarily retired at the Cleveland, last May. He widow, three sons and a daughter survive the deceased.
Bishop Joshua H. H. Jones' funeral services, Tuesday afternoon, in Jones' auditorium of Shorter hall, were largely attended, about 2,000 people coming from Xenia and various parts of the country. The opening remarks were made by the Opening Traffic Columbus state auditor. Many distinguished members of the A. M. E. Church were here. Prof. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., financial secretary of the Church, in charge of letters, telegraphs and resolutions, was literally swamped with them. Bishops Johnson, Green, Grant, Williams and W. S. Brooks were unable to attend; also Bishop E. T. Demby of the Lille Rock, Ark, department of Presbyterian Church; also Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, of this the third Episcopal district, presided over the funeral services in which Bishops W. H. Heard of N. Y. City, W. H. Davis of Baltimore, John A. Gregg of Kansas City, Kan., representing the bishops of the Church, and other distinguished prelates of the Church participated. A cabile of Francis Goe president of Wilberforce Town, Town, S. Africa, was received. Several short talks were made. W. A. Anderson read the obituary. The main address, however, was given by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president of the University. The Masonic ceremony followed, being conducted by Wilberforce lodge of Xenia. There were eight active pallbearers and 32 other attendees. The Tarbox Cemetery near Cederville.
Dr. Jas. E. Owen of Cleveland, was elected president of the board of trustees, of the Combined Normal & Industrial (State) Department of Wilberforce University, at its meeting, Tuesday morning. He has been a member of the board for about a year, being appointed by Gov. Geo. White to fill the unexpired term of Rev. Russell S. Brown of Cleveland who resigned. Pres. R. R. Wright, Jr., of the University was elected vice-president and Rev. J. O. Hathcott of Cleveland re-elected secretary of the board. G. L. Harrison of Cincinnati, appointed a member by the governor, several weeks ago, was in attendance upon the meeting. Other presidents were Jennie D. Porter of Cincinnati, Rev. D. O. Walker and Dwight R. Williams of Cleveland, and W. A. Anderson of Wilberforce. The State Department's budget, prepared by Supt. Howard Gregg and Business Mgr. C. C. Jenkins, was approved after a few minor changes.
Gets $9,000 Bequest
Phoenix, Ariz.—George Layman, age 80, retired soldier and Spanish-American war veteran, received $9,000 recently from the estate of his nephew, a resident of Lawrence, Kan. Mrs. Layman, who was living apart from Mr. Layman at this time, returned to her husband.
Four Shot to Death!
Boley, Okla.—Three gunmen, two white, and President D. J. Turner of the Farmers and Merchants State bank, were shot down by H. C. McCormick, assistant cashier; vigilantes and officers, last week Wednesday, in the battle which resulted from the bandits' attempt to rob the bank.

SNOBBISHNESS AND FAILURE TO RIGHT A GREAT WRONG DONE OUR PEOPLE.
The "Curse Upon Their Souls"—Injustices Most Numerous, "Even Graver Than Those Done the Red Man," Particularly in the South.
New York City.—The injustice of the white man to the Colored was alive. And, of course, he is prohibit-scored, Sunday evening, Nov. 20 '32. 32. ed in certain states under terrific pen-ly by the Rev. James M. Gillis, C.S.P., altes. from intermarriage with in the course of his address on the "Catholic hour," speaking on "White Catholic Black."

"On the whole the Negro is consid-
The white man in the United States, the editor of the Catholic World declared, is endeavoring to atone for his crimes against the Indian, and, he said, he must compensate, compensate, compensate, if not greater measure, because "we have done him more bitter injustice than the red man."
Killed Red Man; Enslaved Black
"We robbed the red man and killed him," Father Gillis went on. "But we kidnapped the black man and enslaved him. The traders in human flesh and blood who sailed from New England and elsewhere to Africa, swooped down upon the blanks, bledchered thousands of them, brought them ash and sold them in bondage, we're guilty of as great a sin as that of Oliver Cromwell who slaughtered thousands of the Irish and sold the remainder into slavery in the Barbadoes. They were a 'godly' generation of church-goers, Bible readers and psalm singers, but they brought down a blight upon this country and a curse upon their own souls. And if the curse of God, as the Bible seems to say, can pass to the third and fourth generation, bainst them and of that sin that mist the black man is still upon the soul of the white man. It is for us to wash it away with the baptism of humiliation and with works of penance."
Unscientific. Snobbish.
Father Gillis declared that the inclination of many whites to think of the Colored as " a subject race, less than wholly human, a footstool for the white man, a lesser breed without the law, a pariah, an 'untouchable, segregated, disfranchised, an alien in the land of his birth," is "not scientific but snobblish," because, he asserted, white and black " are brothers, equally courageous in a collateral line of descendants, but brothers, children of the one original couple." "We may talk of the black race, the brown race, the yellow race, and the red race and the white race," he said, "but there is only one race, the human race." "Now therefore," Father Gillis continued, "if the Negro is a man just as truly as the white man, it follows that the white or presupposes belong to man as man, must not be denied to the Negro.
Miserable Treatment.
"And yet in certain parts of our country disabilities are heaped upon him because he is a Negro. In many localities he is denied the vote, even though that denial involves fraud or force upon the part of the white man. In some sections he receives lower wages than the white man for the same work. In other sections, he is charged higher rent than the white man for the same housing. His natives tend to rise to something better than menial occupation and to fit himself for it is frustrated by local law, by custom or even by physical violence; he is refused admittance to certain trade unions; in many states he is denied membership in white churches; he dare not attempt to take Communion with the whites; likewise except in the north. he cannot attend schools, public or private, with the whites, and the public schools into which he is segregated are inferior in architecture, in location and in scholastic standing to those who are black man pays his school tax like a man. He is kept out of select hotels, restaurants and places of public entertainment, not only in the south but in the north.
A Hell in the South.
"Where the jim-crow' law is in effect, he is taxed for parks, libraries and other places of instruction or entertainment which he is not permitted to use. In some localities there are different standards of justice in the law courts for blacks and for whites (a crime in the very place where crime is supposedly punished), thousands cities and towns and villages, and fellows away from white neighborhoods as strictly as if he were a leper. If he ventures to buy or to rent a house in a 'white' district, his home may be bombed, and he will be granted no legal redress. He is subject to mob violence, denied trial by jury and if suspected of certain crimes, he may be forced to suffer folk suffer molestation, but, if in a fit of mad resentment, he retaliates.

he is shot down or perhaps burned alive. And, of course, he is prohibited in certain states under terrific penalties from intermarriage with whites.
Considered an Alien.
"On the whole the Negro is considered an alien, an outcast, and as it were, a leaper in our midst. he is ostracized if not exiled, he is the vic-
P.
tice as would precipitate unending race riots if he were not more tolerant, more patient, and more law-abiding than his white neighbors. He must suffer incessantly and cruelly from them, and if he were to rise in rebellion for even so much justice as is guaranteed to him by the Federal Constitution, he would be shot down like a dog, and I fear that vast number of 'liberty-loving Americans' would say that it served him right; that he would be thankful for it; that he should know his place and be content with it.
"Now, fellow citizens of the white race, let us confess that all this is manifestly and outrageously wrong. We are treating the Negro as unjustly, if not with quite so much bloody cruelty, as we treated the Indian. Whatever we are doing now to atone for our crimes against the red man from whom we stole the continent, from whom we are being atone for the crimes, we are not against the black man. We have not even ceased to deal unmercifully with him.
"... If we persist in the outrage our ancestors have done the black man, or the lesser crimes that we ourselves have committed against him, let us understand that we are storing up danger for our descendants. The black man, thank God, is no longer a slave, nor does he continue to be as obsequious and subservient as the old tradition would have him. He is emancipated in more senses than one...

Akron, O.—K. O."Gorilla" Jones of Akron, former world middleweight champion, knocked out Jackie Purvis (white), of Indianapolis in the third round of a scheduled ten-round bout at the Armory here. Thanksgiving before 2,500 fans in the headliner of Summit Veteran Association benefit card. "Gorilla" could have put the Indiana boy away any time he pleased but instead availed himself of a chance for a workout. Purvis went down for a count of nine in the second round. Jones then exploded his dangerous right on Purvis' jaw after 1 minute and 57 seconds of the third round and Purvis was counted out while sprawled over the lower ropes. Purvis was unable to land on Jones who left the ring unmarked and showing no effects at all of the battle.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1992.
A headline to a letter sent out
from Washington, D. C., by the Asso-
ciated Negro Press, reads: “Demo-
cratic workers have high hopes,” hav-
ing reference to “Negro” Democratic
workers. They always do and just
as often fail to have their hopes,
whether high or low, materialize.
ie
Even tho Bishop Joshua H. Jones
was critically ill, several years ago
and has not been well since, his
death, Thanksgiving Day, was some-
what of a surprise. He was able, en-
ergetic and-for many years a leader
in the great A. M. E. Church. Bishop
Jones had an exceptionally interest-
ing career.
elle
‘A writer in a local contemporary
says: “The Negro Democratic work-
er is coming into his own.” “His
own” what? That's rich when one re-
calls how he realized on the prom-
ises Democrats made him earlier in
the year and broke in nearly every
instance. For superlative exhibitions
of gullibility refer all to “Negro”
Democrats. It is so easy to play up-
on their credulity.
President Hoover's invitation to
President-elect Roosevelt to confer
with him on the war debts and other
governmental problems was accept-
ed by the latter but not taken ad-
vantage 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 cancellation, revision or fur-
ther moratorium of the war debts” is
sure good news that Roosevelt's visit
to the nation’s capitol brot out, Tues-
day.
Sa
‘The address of Rev. James M. Gillis,
editor of the Catholic World, publish-
ed elsewhere in this paper, is one of
the most remarkable statements of
fact and truth, coming from a mem-
Ber of his group, we have heard or
yead in many years. It is most time-
ly and proves beyond all question
or doubt that Editor Gillis is most
courageous and a remarkable man.
‘Only such a person, even a member
‘of the clergy (white), would dare
talk as Father Gillis did over the ra-
dio during “Catholic Hour,” Nov. 20,
1932. Our people thruout the coun-
try can not fail to thoroly appreciate
and thank him for it.
SCOTTSBORO BOY-VICTIMS.
There is no questioning the good
work that the International Labor
Defense has done for the nine Scotts-
oro, Ala., boy-victims still under
‘sentence of death tho the U. S. su-
preme court has granted seven or
eight of them a new trial as the re-
sult of sustained court action spon-
sored by the I. L. D. which has been
assisted financially by our people in
various parts of the country. This
organization has issued a strong ap-
peal for immediate financial assist-
ance in its effort to free the boys,
victims of a malicious and contempti-
ble frame-up, and our people ought
to respond just as liberally as pos-
eible for reasons obvious. Too much
praise can not be given the Interna-
tional Labor Defense for the assist-
‘ance it has rendered our people
thruout the country thra its support
of the effort to save the lives of
those boys and if possible secure them
their freedom. And the best way to
show this is by supporting as liberally
‘as possible in these economic depres-
sion days the exceptionally successful
‘effort, thus far, the organization has
made. So send to the International
Labor Defense, Room 430, 80 E. 13th

WOULD BE A RIOT!
Puan ern neers
| During the recent campaign for
‘the Presidency of this nation, a
statement was made to the effect that
if Mr. Roosevelt did not win there
would be a riot. That significant
statement is followed by a very nau-
seating revelation in the City of New-
ark, N. J., which is ruled over by
three Democratic commissioners and
two Republicans. It appears that the
third ward of the city of Newark is
a very strongly Republican ward, but
in the last election it gave over-
whelming Democratic majorities, so
much so till an investigation was
proposed by the Republican authori-
ties. When the news of this got
abroad, the thugs that perpetrated
the election steal went immediately
to the place where tho ballot boxes
were stored and took away the third
ward boxes in question and then went
to the hall of records and deleted the
Pages from the records that bore on
chis crime. In the meantime, police-
men were stationed at both places to

no tampering was done. In the face
of the officers, this outrage was per-
petrated. Curious enough this ward
is the stronghold of Negroes. The
thugs on election day supplied spurl-
ous ballots and had them voted-and
counted. At present the machinery
of the state is in action secking to
ferret out this infamous crime and
punish those responsible. Some very
pertinent inquiries are in order. Was
this Newark outrage a part of the
ischeme to elect Mr. Roosevelt? If so,
how far-reaching was this bold at-
tempt to steal a Presidential elec-
tion? Was this method used in
other strong Republican wards, coun-
ties, and states to produce the re-
sults of this election? If this meth-
‘od had failed did those sponsoring it
intend to start a riot? If so, how
did this thing get noised abroad?
President Hoover in one of his
speeches made reference to this riot
threat. The people of this nation
desire to know if the managers of
Mr. Roosevelt's campaign know of
any conspiracy to do in the general
election what was done in Newark?
Isn’t it reasonable to conelude that
~angsters would not attempt to steal
the election in the third ward in New-
ark, if those in authority had not so
indicated? This brazen steal in New-
ark with its subsequent stealing of
the books to cover their tracks indi-
cates that this was no one sporadic
cffort but that it was a well laid plan
to do what was done. There could
have been no crooked work at any
poll if either party had stood up
squarely for clean voting. Republi-
cans joined hands with Democrats to
violate the sanctity of the election.
Is the country to believe that in
strong Republican states that’ went
Democratic, this method was used?
If the Republican party entered into
any such agreement to defeat Mr.
Hoover, the usefulness of that party
is ended. If the Democratic party
won this election by such methods
knowingly, God pity th's nation.
Murder will out. Newark has
given an indication of festering rot-
tenness on election day that should
be cleaned up. If necessary inquiry
should be made in each state to find
out if the returns are accurate and
just. America is doomed if it adopts
the southern method of _ballot-box
corruption to rule its elections. This
method of tampering with ballot-
boxes is not new to a certain section
of this country that is strongly Dem-
peratie. Suspicion has been placed
upon the election of Congress and the
President. We wonder if this was the
method adopted to prevent a riot?
(Rev.) William A. Byrd.
18 IT ANY USE TO OON-
TEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the
only race, responsible mem-
bere of which are in favor of
submitting to discrimination
on the claim tha: their race
“always will be discriminated
against.” The Jews are still
contending, after over 1900
years of universal discrimina-
on, and are winning even
social rights today. The Irish
at home have contended for
700 years and are winning
because they will die rather
than eubmit. The race that
says It's cf no use to resist,
downs itself and the world
then will say, “Negroes are
not wortny of equal rights;
they are by nature without
self-respect. and have no
“guts’.” The world respects
only those who resent and re-
sist 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
Uberty, and forever resist de-
nial of rights In our native
land, however long race dis-
crimination may continue, To
submit 's to deserve _con-
tempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guar-
dian.

OUR OH10 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 edi-
tor 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, rostaurant,
eating house, barber-shop, public.
conveyance by land or water, theater
or other place of public accommoda-
tion and amusement, denies to a citi-
zen, 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
bo fined not less than fitty dollars
nor more than five hundred dollars,
or imprisoned not less than thirty
days nor more than ninety days, or
doth,
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the
next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fifty dollars nor more
than five hundred dollars to the per-
son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
ered in any court of competent juris-
diction 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
aon:
HUMAN NATURE'S
VOULEST BLOT.”
My ear Is pained,
My soul is sick with every
day's report
Of wrong aud outrage, with
which the earth is Siled
There is no flesh in man’s ob:
durate heart.
1t does not tee! for man; the
natural bond
Of brotherhood Is severed at
the Max
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. ne
Thus man devotes bis brother.
and destroys:
‘Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.
—Cowper.

PROTEST! PROTEST!!
To submit in silence when
we should protest makes cow-
ards out of men. The human
race has climbed on protest.
Had no voice been raised
against injustice, ignorance
and lust, the inquisition yet
would serve the law, and
gnillotines decide our’ least
disputes. The few who dare,
must speak and speak again
to right the wrongs of many.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
The Truth:
What would cause other peo-
ple to gnash their teeth and
gird their loins is question of
debate for us. Kick us, beat
us, pile depredations upon us,
revile us, abuse us, lie about
us, malign us and even impugn
our valor and we are not unan-
mously ingnited. It seems tm-
possible to establish unanimity
of insult In the black race.—

An amazingly simple home treatment gives quick, sure relief without enforced rest, operations, injections—nor failure. Simply rub the limb affixed with a generous amount of Emerald Oil and bandage it comfortably tight. Use a bandage three inches wide and long enough to give the necessary support, winding upward from the ankle to the knee, the way the blood flows in the veins. Just follow directions and you are sure to be helped. Your druggist won't keep your money unless you are.
How One Man Lost 22 Lbs. of Fat
Mr. Herman Runkis of Detroit writes: "A few lines of thanks from a rheumatism sufferer — my first bottle of Kruschen Salts took all the aches and swellings on my joints — with my first bottle I went on a diet and lost 2 pounds and now I feel so much more muscular. To lose fat SAFELY and quickly take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast. For your health's sake ask for and get Kruschen — the cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle at applesauce. Over the first bottle you are not joyfully satisfied with results — money back. All good druggists will be glad to supply you.

"I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

CONFIRMS NINETEEN
Afro-American Converts in a Class of 208 — Bishop McFadden Gratified — An Unusual Scene.
Akron, O.—In a class of 208 converts at St. Bernard's Catholic church here, Sunday evening week, were 19 Afro-Americans. It was a most unusual sight. The Most Rev. Jas. A. McFadden, auxiliary bishop of Cleveland, confirmed the class. Rev. Jas. A. Lembach, assistant pastor of the church, is given credit for preparing this class of converts, and Mrs. Beneva Kilgore, a member of our group, gets the honor of bringing them together for instructions. She is engaged in social miss on work here. Bishop McFadden expressed his gratification over the class' inclusion of our 19 converts in the following words: "I am most happy to see them here tonight, and I appreciate the work being done in this parish to plant the seed of true religion and to encourage its growth among the Colored people. The Church acknowledges no distinction in race."
Mrs. Kilgore has two children in St. Bernard's school and has enrolled 60 of our children in a summer school at St. Bernard's which is under the direction of Father Lembach and three seminarians, Bernard Stalder and Herman Klocker of St. Mary's, Cleveland; and Billy Bachman of the American college, Rome, Italy. St. Bernard's parishioners are ministered to by the dean, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Ferdinand A. Schreiber, V. F., and his two assistants, Father Lembach and Rev. Harold Laubacker. The church is one of the most beautiful edifices in the diocese and is surrounded by one city block of parish property.

A Szechwan Medicine Man.
Prepared by National Geographic Society,
and supported by the National Geographic Society.
ZECHWAN province, China, center
of recent disturbances, is one
of the richest, most populous
and picturesque regions of China. Marco Polo described it as a cultivated garden with great cities. A more modern sobriquet is "The Garden of Asia." Chungking, the Yangtze port, is a great doorway of Szechwan. It is a walled city with 600,000 inhabitants, situated at the confluence of the Yangtze and the Kialling rivers. Through the fiction of a foreign treaty it is an open seaport notwithstanding the fact that it is 1,500 miles from the coast and 1,000 feet above the level of the sea. It is now the head of steam navigation on the Yangtze, the seat of maritime customs for the West, the point of distribution for all western-borne commerce and the assembling depot for all shipments to other parts of China and foreign lands. The chief exports to America and other countries are paint oils of the tung-tree, medicines, bristles, feathers and hides, and, of manufactured articles, silks, satins and crepes of the finest grades.
Confined between its two rivers, this city, like New York, is growing into the air. It has no suburban lines to relieve its surplus population, and real estate has accordingly increased in the past decade from 100 to 200 per cent in value, making it profitable to erect fine foreign buildings, in which it excels any purely native city in China. The English, French, German, Japanese, and Americans compete for its trade. United States trade is represented in kerosene, sewing machines, cigarettes, patent medicines, hardware, and nails. From Chungking northwestward 300 miles to Chengtu, the capital, one travels by sedan chair, borne on the shoulders of two, three or four bearers, as one's avoiduplos requires or his Troy weight permits; for the rich ride in fours by choice, as do the portly without onion.
In addition to the chair-bearers, the foreign traveler requires a coolie to bear his cot and bedding, another to carry his food, and an attendant to cook it. A small party easily becomes a regiment, and if an armed escort accompanies it, as is usual, the party resembles an army.
City of the Dead.
Beyond the walls of Chungking the traveler enters the city of the dead. Here are square-built tombs of the Ming period; near by are the crowded lines of public graves for beggars and the very poor; and then, far away to the top of the hill, about four miles distant, are the regulation mounds of Chinese graves, with here and there beautifully carved, terraced mausoleums.
A more orderly section of broad extent, reserved for Mohammed graves, shows that the followers of the Crescent are no mean or inconsiderable company among the city's population.
Over these sleeping camps the telegraph lines are now strung and the Chengtu railway will tunnel beneath them. Factories and homes are pushing them farther from the city, which is a sure indication that the hand of superstition is losing its grip, for a quarter century ago this would have spelled riot. The Szechwanese from of old have been expert workers in stone, as is evidenced by the many tombs, homes and places of defense carved deep into the rocky cliffs along the rivers. Their Chinese conquerors have inherited this art along with their land, for the country abounds with artistically carved stone bridges, and memorial arches of massive proportions ornately wrought in stone.
One never sees a monument dedicated to a warrior, but many to virtuous widows, who refused to remarry after their husbands had died. Others reared by royal permit have the four characters Wu Kla Tung Tang, five generations living together in one home. This, though not common, is by no means unknown in West China, and surely, if five generations can live to together in one home and live peaceably, they deserve recognition, and the Chinese accord it.
City of the Dead.
West China might be called "The Land of the Pagoda," for nearly every city has its towering sentinel from three to fifteen stories in height. They are generally placed upon some eminence overlooking the city they protect, and may have served as watch towers in times of trouble, but the real purpose of their erection most likely was to exert a benign influence upon the fungus—the spirits of wind and wave that bring prosperity and ward off disaster.
Out from the crush and the hum of the city of the living and past the quiet camp of the dead, one comes to the country—not, however, the country of the western world; rather a mass of terraced paddy fields and farm gardens, with human beings always in sight. People are the only feature of the landscape that cannot be left behind or ignored; so one stops to glance at the inhabitants of Szechwan, who surpass in rugged diversity of race the variety of the province's scenery.
The People of Szechwan.
Fourth, the contact of Christian life and thought upon these peoples, a period of reforms and revolutions, a transition from the old order to the New China of today and the China of promise of tomorrow.
Remnants of Many Races.
The western part of Szechwan might well be called the Museum of the Human Races, the as-yet-underserved happy hunting ground of the ethnologist and physiognomist. Here are to be found the surviving remnants in the most heroic struggle for existence that humanity has ever waged and who, for lack of a better term, are called the "Tribesmen."
As one crosses the Min river, which flowing south divides the province into east and west, and moves westward, towards the snow-covered mountains, he comes upon the shambling homes of these people, hidden in impassable ravines or perched upon cliff or mountain side, of which they seem to be part and counterpart; for as the irresistible side-thrust of continental Asia pushed these mountain masses high into the snows and left them crumpled, broken, and isolated storm-swept peaks, so, evidently, a similar convulsion of powerful peoples of Asia, in their movements toward this center, have driven back the weaker or defenseless nations, they in their turn being compelled to follow into these inaccessible places, where, like the mountains to which they still cling, they may yet reveal stratum, the bedrock of the race.
The Chinese call them "The Eighteen Nations," but it is believed that there are several times eighteen nations or tribes, each under its own king, council, or feudal lord, independent or semi-independent of each other and of the Chinese in whose borders they dwell.
Among the tribesmen are found representatives of the black, yellow, and white branches of the human family, and some of them, especially the dwarf peoples, are believed to be of very ancient origin.
Chengtu, Szechwan's capital, lies 700 miles from a railroad on the edge of the famous Chengtu plain. It is a city of 600,000 inhabitants.

NUR fashions are holding the center
FUR fashions are holding the center of the stage. The program they are presenting it not only spectacular, but it is interesting because it makes use of novel petrery in novel ways. The fact that designers are showing so venturesome a spirit to do and to dare makes fur artistry almost breathtaking this season in its exploitation of the unusual.
This fair for clever fur arrangements is evidenced in the models pictured. The very good-looking costume to the left emphasizes the entry of panther skin in the list of fashionable new furs. The younger set adore this flattering fur. The rich green of the cloth which fashions this coast contrasts the tawny tones in the fur most effectively.
Speaking of spotted furs, an outstanding play is being made in this direction, smart Parisiennes wearing not only dresses and coats trimmed in either panther, leopard or ocelot, but touches directly enliven their hats as well as being made up in such accessories as belts and pocketbooks. A leading contourer goes so far as to create a stunning evening gown of white satin bordering the decollete neckline with a band of leopard. In trimming the black wool coat shown to the right in the picture the designer does that is being repeatedly done this season—works two kinds of fur together. In this instance black astrakan and snowy ermine
IF YOU CROCHET
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Victorian charm is the keynote of this winter's fashion. One of the ideas which prevailed in those days of yore was that of "crochet edgings." Well, it's crochet edging which trims this dainty little bedjacket. All you need is a ball (150 yards) of mercerized cotton, a number eight crochet hook and three-fourths of a yard of flat crepe, for it is made of two pieces of silk tacked together at the shoulders and sides. Cut the silk in two straight pieces (19% by 27 inches) with the selvedges running the long way. These can be used at the bottom and so avoid hems. On the other three edges of both pieces base hems as narrow as possible. The first row of crochet will hold them in place. Crochet directions are available at most any fancywork department where you buy the crochet cotton. The quaint little clerical bib is also crocheted of mercerized cotton, in an open mesh pattern with tightly crocheted border. It is simply and quickly made, and now that young girls are wearing nun-colars and similar neckpieces a collar crocheted as here illustrated will add chic to the silk or wool costume.
make a striking combination, thus accenting the black-and-white theme which is as popular as it ever was, and perhaps even more so. The casual grace of the ermine scarf-end intrigues the eye at a glance. The high-standing astrakan collar is topped with a junty beret which has a drape of matching fur encircling its crown. The placing of myriads of little cloth ruffles row and row from above the elbow to the wristline is characteristic of the trend to make sleeves an outstanding feature of every costume. Incidentally we might mention that the dress underneath this modish coat is made of printed satin, the same being a fashion highspot in the realm of fabrics this season.
In describing the charming muff and capetel set which centers this attractive trio there is not much needed to be said as it speaks volumes for itself in the way of chic. You may vision it as of gray curly lamb of highest grade, if you wish, contrasting velvet brown cloth for brown with a featured combination. Metal buttons, a cone, and a metal belt, for metal accessories are fashion's boast at present. © 1812 Western Newspaper Union.
CORDED WEAVING
LEADS IN FAVOR
There is a distinct corduroy influence in the winter's fashions, Wool, silk, velvet and mixtures all show a tendency to corded weaving.
It is not confined only to clothes for sports wear, as formerly, but appears in clothes of all varieties. Many of the newest evening dresses are of a corded velvet which approaches corduroy in weave, but is sheer in texture.
Corded woolens, launched in Paris last season, are already established as classic materials. They are favorites for the sturdy type of coat or suit which is destined for wear in difficult weather.
Dressmakers like the possibilities they offer in design, for a slight change in the direction of the cords, by means of adroit cutting, can work a whole design into a costume without the addition of any ornament.
Change Hairdressing
to Follow Dress Style
Changes in dress styles, and especially those that have taken place this season, demand a decided change in hairdressing.
An inferiority complex of the worst sort is lying in wait for the woman who attempts to wear those charming shallow-crowned hats that leave almost the entire back of the head bare, unless she speeds with winged feet to an authority on hairdressing, one well-schooled and of long experience in making the hair conform to fashion and beauty.
To enhance the charm of a woman's hair and face, and to blend them with her clothes into a picture of beauty, requires unusual talent—a sculptor's knowledge of plastic form and a painter's feeling for delicate colors.
Waffle Weave Is Latest
For Street and Sports
In street and sports dresses the material is the new thing. Silk crepes again resemble rough woolens. This season one new material is known as "triple sheer," being three times the thickness of georgette crepe. The waffle weave, modeled after that well-known breakfast dish, is new and smart.
Light and Dark
Strong contrasts of light and dark are inevitably effective—light collars on dark dresses, dark collars on light dresses; dark jackets with white skirts; white coats with dark dresses
Makes Basement His Sales Office
Novel Idea of Connecticut Man in Bringing Prospects to His Home Results in Many Orders
Salesman has novel method. Albert Weed of Norwalk, Conn., salesman for the Petroleum Heat and Power Company, makers of Petro & Nokol oil burners, has dressed his basement up into a salesroom, as shown above, where he brings prospects who can see exactly how his oil burner is working in his house.

NEW YORK CITY—It has been several years since we women who like to add to our fashion vocabulary each season have had an opportunity to say "ombre" very much. This year with so much interest centered on materials themselves—quite in addition to frock and aut line—it seems natural to pay out discreetly by shadowed should appear. The ones we seen in dresses suitable for college girls and debutantes have lived up very satisfactorily to "divine, my dear" compliments these young women have been paying them. The frock shown in our sketch has some of a shadowed, ombre effect, which has been achieved by combining durene cotton and osseous fabric. This bit of worried in a feather weight, but decidedly autumn-like dress.
This dress in the sketch will appeal particularly to ladies who have passed their twenty-second birthday but not their seventieth. Notice the smart saddle sleeve, giving inward flare. It is placed at a high but becoming line and skirt stitching gives nice balance for the tallish figure.

Coffee Drinking Is Aid to Business; Rector Tells of Brazilian Customs
Bv GEORGE RECTOR.
World Famous Restaurant
IN BRAZIL, where much o,
the finest coffee is grown, the coffee
shan is a national institution, and
coffee drinking is almost a rite.
Much business is transacted in the
coffee shops. As the English
serve tea to break up the business
day, so the Brazilians use coffee.
When an important deal is pending,
the primaries often desert
the office for the nearest coffee
shan and discuss matters more
socially, and often more effectively, over a demitasse.
In the United States the drug
store in the nearest equivalent to
the coffee shan, but an ideal place to
transact business, for it lacks
sale and quiet.
Last week I snake at some
morn with Eduardo, Muller,
Gommes, the assistant general man-
ager of the American Coffee Co-
lation which markets 200,000
000 pounds of coffee every year
for the A. & P food stores. During
our conversation we discussed the
coffee drinking habits of the Bras-
lian people. I was very much
interested because Brazil is the
coffee center of the world, and I
wondered just how seriously Bras-
lians took their coffee.
And interestingly wome Brazilian
from Santoz, told me that although
it is hot in Brazil, the natives know
nothing about ice coffee. They
drink the beverage hot, and with-
out cream. In the home it is
taken much as here—with breakfast and, perhaps, demi-tasse after dinner. Business people, however, use their coffee drinking as an excuse to break up the business day. On the slightest provocation the Brazilian business man will go to a nearby coffee shop and have a few cups of black coffee. I think that this coffee drinking idea

I was much interested when Mr. Muller-Camps told me that iced coffee was unknown in Brazil. He did tell me, however, that in the exclusive restaurants coffee mixed with ice cream was served, and thus they called Cafe Viennese—coffee in the style of Vienna. This brought in many memories for me.
-memories of my Cook's tour through Europe when I made a long stopover in Vienna. I remember Cafe Viennese and coffee as it was served in Demel's, exclusive caterer to royalty and exroyalty. In this ultra-fashionable restaurant coffee is served with a great deal of ceremony. Fresh coffee is served black in beautiful silver pots. Heated milk or cream is served in a large bowl and topped with the Viennese "Schlag-Ober" (just good old American whipped cream.)
And speaking of Cook's tours and coffee recalls a question put to me by a young Italian, in the diplomatic service in Rome, who asked me why Italian coffee was so unsatisfactory. I went into his kitchen and discovered to my horror that his cook a thrifty Italian woman of ample proportions, used the coffee grounds over and over again. When I explained to the young man that fresh coffee vitally important in brewing of good coffee, and that the coffee pot method his cook used needed coffee and coffee, I made a lifelong friend. He argued his cook into brewing fresh, coarse-ground coffee always. He told me later that he made many excellent associations for himself through the fame of the coffee he served in his home.
