In connection with deliveries made by Dodge dealers this year, up to October 31, Mr. vanDerZee points out that whereas deliveries of the entire industry for the past ten months amount to 65 per cent, of the sales recorded for the correspondent period of 1931, the business of Dodge dealers—including Dodge passenger cars and trucks, and Plymouth cars sold by Dodge dealers—amounts so far to 71 per cent of their last year's January-October volume.
Commercial car deliveries by Dodge dealers for the week ending October 29 exceeded the truck volume recorded for the preceding week by 13.6 per cent. Not included in this accounting is a fleet of fifteen one-half-ton pick-ups ordered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, mostly for the forest service.

HEAR! HEAR!!
The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
The federal government, it seems, has disposed of Rufus Jones, one of the alleged "Big Four policy-racket clan" or kings. And Chief Matowitz has ordered the arrest "as often as possible" of John B. ("Hot Stuff") Johnson and Billy Richardson, allegedly two others of the "Big Four policy-racket clan." The fourth member of the "Big Four" is not a member of the race. Seems a little strange that only our three members of the "Big Four" are wanted, these days, by the authorities. Why the apparent color-line?
At thousands of dollars of added expense and loss to the poor and overcharged car-riders of Cleveland, it looks as if the City Council will give more de luxe service to the few hibrow, "upper-ten" residents of the boulevards of the west side. Both buss and car service, at an already enormous loss, is to be routed thru the square at an additional loss, and why? The poor on the Central Ave. car-line, who are, in the cars, to receive their places of emergence, do not given no consideration at all—about three cars an hour! Well who cares? These are only poor people—let them either walk or stand and freeze while waiting for the car which only runs once in a while. Well, it's only 11 months till the next election, tell our councilmen.
Monday night the City Council received a resolution from Councilman Bundy to pay the contractor, building the new Wayfarers Lodge at E. 17th and Lakeside Ave., $1876 "extra" to cover the cost of new brick for the exterior of the lodge. Old brick was to be used, something frequently used for the exterior of high-priced houses to provide an "artistic effect." Bundy better had introduced a resolution to the council to build the new service on the Central Ave. street car-line, instead of wasting time on the kind of brick to be used in building the interior or exterior of Wayfarers lodge. If our three councilmen don't wake up pretty soon to the importance of decent service on the Central Ave. car-line, all three of them will be given a "pain and a headache" next year when they seek re-election to the City Council. It looks like they're going to get the "pain and a headache" anyhow.
ELIMINATE SEGREGATION.
Methods of securing equal opportunity for our students and teachers, and the elimination of segregated schools in Ohio were discussed here, last week Wednesday, at the first meeting of the newly created Elks' Board of Education of Ohio. George W. Thompson of Akron is the commissioner of education and ex-official chairman of the board, and executive secretary of the Association for Afro-American Community Work in Akron. A new program of activities for the educational committees of lodges and temples in Ohio would be adopted whereby contests would be held through the year in interim memorial essay, essay and spelling in each city. State contests will be held in Ikee at Akron. Other members of the board include: Lethia C. Fleming of Glenna Temple, vice-chairman, and Mary McKee of Mary B. Talbert Temple, secretary-treasurer, both of this city; Rev. W. P. Stanley of Toledo, Mrs. M. Baker of Steubenville and Attty. Perry B. Jackson of King Tut Lodge, State Deputy Mary T. Gates addressed the meeting.
$300 MONTHLY
Is Part of the Alimony Editor Abbott's Wife Is to Receive—The Defender Loss, This Year $46,000.
Chicago, IL.—Circuit Judge Philip Finnegan has ordered Editor Robert S. Abbott to pay his wife $300 monthly and to allow her to occupy their palatial S. Parkway home. Both Mr. and Mrs. Abbott had white attorneys to represent them. During the course of the trial, it developed that Nathan K. McGill, a relative of Abbott by marriage and a $5,000 year assistant attorney general manager, as counsel and general manager, Abbott Abbott Co. and secretary of the corporation, has received more than $26,000 as salary thus far this year, and an additional $17,000 was given to him outright; also that Mrs. Geneva Ridley, cashier of the Defender Pub. Co., was being paid at the rate of $100 a week. McGill's salary is $700 a week. The court's testimony showed that he had received $35,000 in the 1930, 1931 and for nine months of this year, $26,000. It was also revealed that for the year 1929 Abbott received a salary of $104,000 and a like amount for 1930. In 1931 he was given a $10,000 salary he has been paid nothing in 1932. This year, he has paid back into the company, doubtless owing to the economic depression, $31,000 in January. In June of this year, he transferred $25,400 in cash from his personal savings account to the commercial account of the company. Abbott has before placed at the disposal of the company, this year, the sum of $284,000 of which only $22,000 remain. It is claimed that between September, 1931 and September, 1932, the company lost $63,000. Auditors report that according to a contract with the company, Abbott is due a sum in excess of $200,000 and that more than $12,000 is due Atty. McGill. The auditors report show that Mr. McGill has more than the combined salaries of all the employees of the Robert S. Abbott Pub. Co., some of them in the mechanical department and Mr. Abbott excepted. Further court-action is expected from both sides, Abbott and his wife.
GETS THE CHAIR!

FINED $10,000
And Sentenced to Four Years in a Government Penitentiary—Rufus Jones, "Policy King."
Rufus Jones, a leader in Cleveland's policy-packet, was found guilty, last week Thursday, of income tax and sentenced to four years in the federal prison and fined $10,000. Rufus was freed under a $5,000 bond pending the hearing of a motion for a new trial. He was found guilty on both counts of an indictment, charging him with falling to file an income tax-return for 1929 and 1930, and sentenced to a year on each count, the sentences to run concurrently. He was also convicted on two other counts of evading payment of $25,744 and received payment of $25,744 on each count, also to run concurrently. His fist is quoted as saying at the close of the trial: "I'm satisfied. What else can I be? I'm lucky. I might have gotten 12 years."

Race Question Is Broader Than Mere Color Of Skin
JESUS WAS DARK SKINNED AND HIS DICIPLES WERE DUSKY ORIENTALS.
Some World-Wide Aspects of the "Races Problem," as Seen by a Man Who Has Been Called a "Foreign Devil."
By (Rev.) William T. Ellis
"Yang Wazy! Yang Wazy!"—
"Foreign devil! Foreign devil!"
a gentleman in China as in London—if not more so.
"The colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady"
"Foreign devil! Foreign devil!" Often the children and youths of Chinese villages called this term of opprobrium after me, as I traveled through the interior of China, 25 years ago. Men, too, muttered it under their breath as I passed. It was a new experience for one who had all his life assumed that the heirs are a superior race. To be the ones are a superior race. To be the older people set one's brain to working. In Japan the people were too polite for any such rudeness; yet frequently I caught glimpses of their concealed sense of superiority. And I saw, in museums, the old warning boards, which stood on the highways of Japan less than a century ago, predicting a dire fate for foreigners, and even for the foreign God, should they trespass upon Japan's proud soil. Even so, I was shocked when a Benares bazar keeper waved me away from his wares, lest I pollute them by the touch of an uncaste foreigner. Nor did I relish any the more easily the black books and curseurs of Athen, the disaffidulately spat as I passed. I was amused, yet uncomfortably so, to hear the Chinese explanation of why white people bathe so often—they bodies shed a disagreeable odor which they are trying, unsuccessfully to remove!
Does God Speak English!
Does God Speak English?
Hitherto I had assumed that "the race question is the relationship between Negroes and whites. Now I know that it is a worldwide problem; with the superior attitude by no means confined to Caucasians. So any approach to this subject, made newly acute by the closer knitting together of all peoples in international relationships, should be broadly based, with wide views. Romans addressed me of my address I made several years ago in Persia, wherein I confessed that I was a grown man before ever I realized that God was not wholly an English-speaking God. It took a hearing of Christian prayers in many tongues to put firmly into my mind the realization that the language of heaven is not my mother-tongue; and that, long centuries before there was an England, God was speaking words of mankind in language now forgotten. Ours is a polyglot God.
Jesus, a Dark-Skinned Man.
Jesus, a dark-Skinned Man.
Art's familiar pictures of a Nordic Jesus abets the idea that of course He was one of the first in truth. Though Jesus was a dark-Skinned Syrian Jew (Some Jews, by the way, like those from the Yemen, are almost black).
His disciples were dusky orientals, such as one sees today on the roads and in the fields of Palestine. They were of the type which our immigration laws now exclude from our country. This simple historical and geographical fact affords a good starting point for understanding the race question. It leads on naturally to that other significant fact, that there is no color line in Christianity.
The International Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 4 is "Living With People of Other Races."—Luke 10:30-37; John 4:5-10; Acts 10:30-35
On my first trip around the world, in 1906-7, I learned that there are Christian saints of all colors and in all nations. Anybody who thinks Christianity is a white man's faith, or a religion for the west, is simply ignorant. It arose in the orient; and today is producing its characteristic fruits among all races. Indeed, there are many who believe that the Bible is more easily and completely understood by orientals than by occidentals. They cite the Korean aptitude for the Scriptures; the Indian Christion mystics; the African evangelists and the Chinese Christian heroes.
The Openness of All.
"Mother! Mother! There are people beyond the mountain!" cried a European peasant child, as he saw the first stranger enter their secluded valley. That there are "people beyond the mountain" is one of the big primary lessons to be learned by every dweller in the modern world. More than that: nobody is truly educated who does not understand that all people everywhere are essentially alike in their human nature. They are animated by the same impulse, seek the same fundamental goals and display substantially the same characteristics. A gentleman is as much

a gentleman in China as in London—if not, more so.
"The colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under the skin." Shylock's defense of the Jew in "The Merchant of Venice" has general application. This universal human similarity is revealed in the present depression by an international interdependence which is one of the major messages of the calamity. The whole earth is suffering from a common affliction. We are members of one body, "a commonwealth of common woe." This crisis will not end for any of us, as it has ended. There are no longer any hermit nations. In a most practical sense, we are all members one of another, regardless of color, clime or creed.
The Tolerant Teacher.
Jesus was without race prejudice. One of His best stories, which caused haughty hearers, intolerant in their national pride, to gush their teeth in fury, concerned a Samaritan member of a despised people in whose veins flowed alien blood, who was the good neighbor to a Jew who had fallen among thieves. The Pharisees could not endure seeing a Samaritan made a hero. They regarded the telling of that story as a reflection upon the national and religious loyalty of Jesus. Again Jesus figures as One above racial pettiness and prejudice, in the second passage of the present book, in which he converse with a flippant, flirtatious Samaritan woman. His own diplices marveled at His tolerance. Not only did Jesus recognize the woman, but to her, unworthy as she was, He unfolded the mighty truth that God is above all forms and creeds, above all prejudices and practices and place-associations — a Spirit, who was worshipped in spirit and in truth. It was hard for the followers of Christ to rise to His viewpoint. They were "100 per centers." They could not easily grasp the truth of the comprehensiveness of Christianity. He was a miraculous voice to break the silence of the world so that he was willing to evangelise the Roman centurion, Cornelius—tho on his part, as a Roman, Cornelius had an inherited contempt for the Jews. Out of that episode came Peter's great pronouncement: "Of a true I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him." Severest of all the struggles of the early church was this one between the Isolationists and the Inclusionists. The latter one, because the teaching of spirit of Jesus was with them. That spirit of Jesus Gospel today. In that same spirit were as brothers with all races, recognizing them as being like ourselves, common children with the one Father.
The Negroes' Aspiration.
We may not forget that it was Simon the Black—Simon of Cyrene—who bore the cross of the overwhelmed Jesus on the road to Calvary. And it was a Bible-reading black man, the Ethiopian eunuch, who was baptized by Philip the Evangelist. For generations the Christian church had its stronghold in north Africa. The genius of the Negro for religion—which is a social reassurance in these days of Communist propaganda in a post-apocalyptic which has been sent to me in "The Hymn of Afro-Americans" by Mr. James Weldon Johnson. I quote the last stanza:
"God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far
on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray;
Lest our love traverse from the places
our God,
Where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts drunk with the wine
of the world,
We forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1932.
No longer can it be truthfully said that the so-called "Negro" race is the most prolific race.
"The Emperor Jones" is to be given at Hampton Institute, Dec. 17, 32. The play ought to be "consigned to the scrap heap" by Afro-Americans everywhere. Its presentation anywhere does not do our people any good.
While by no means dry, we have become very tired of the beer and liquor ballyhoo of the past year. Its importance as an issue, political, business or other, has been so greatly magnified as to become" a pain and a headache" to tothful people.
---
We very much fear that Councillmen George and Bundy's meeting with a few Republican state representatives-elect, in an effort to have wards 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 included in one Congress district, will defeat the very thing they seek to attain. The Democratic members in the Cuyahoga County delegation, who are in the majority, as well as State Senator L. L. Marshall, chairman of the Republican part of the delegation, who were left out of the George-Bundy-Evans conference on the matter in Miles E. Evans' office, Tuesday, will hardly look with favor on the conference or its matter under discussion.
CHRISTMAS MAIL.
Because of the increased volume of mail during the holiday season, Postmaster Henry A. Taylor urges all to "show now and mail early for early delivery." On Dec. 15 and 26, no ordinary mail will be delivered, only special delivery. To insure delivery of gifts and greetings before Christmas, mail them between Dec. 16 and 19. A special appeal is made to rack fragile articles carefully and make them "fragile"; insure parcels apply sufficient postage on letters and register those containing money. Address painly and put return address on all.
BROWN AND "LILY-WHITES."
Now that the election is over, possibly Postmaster General Walter F. Brown (of Toledo, Ohio) will be willing to explain to the near 200,000 Afro-American voters in this state why he preferred as "delegates" half-baked "ill-white" Republicans (2) of the South, nominated in rump conventions which barred the Afro-American, to the regularly nominated Afro-American and white Republican delegates to the National convention which renominated President Hoover. He might also explain, if he can, his statement, just prior to the last Chicago Republican National convention, to Mrs. George Williams of Georgia, to the effect that she would help the Republican cause most by resigning her position as a member of the National committee. This because of her color and race-connection. We had always regarded Mr. Brown as a Republican of "the old school" for whom it would be simply impossible to do and say the things referred to in the foregoing.
SOUTHERN ARROGANCE.
SOUTHERN AEROGRACE.
Just how much Vice-President-Elect and speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives John H. Garner, a Texas "cracker," and the South care about the President, or precedent either, was shown, the first of the week, when he permitted the lower branch of the Congress to vote on a constitutional amendment before hearing the President's annual message to that more or less august body. President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and the next Congress, which is over-whelmingly Democratic with southern control, will get an earful and a mindful of this sort of thing soon after he takes office. It will not take the southern members of Congress long to introduce the
real South to President Franklin D. tho he has lived long, at intervals, in that section, and to convince him that the South is in the saddle, directing and running things, and not the President, the chief executive. He will then realize that he never really knew the South prior to the experience we refer to. This, too, in spite of the conferences with southern members of The Congress he has been holding, the past week or ten days, in "his mountain cottage" at Warm Springs, Ga.
WANTED REAL COUNCILMEN
The Central Ave. car-line runs thru the heart of the most thickly populated section of Cleveland and where the great bulk of our people of the city are located. The two car lines on the east side of the city that carry their passengers to the square, the stadium and the county court-house, pass thru the northern third of the city. The other two-thirds of Cleveland's east side side have no such service. This part of the city is its most thickly populated section. The three "Negro" councilmen and nearly all of their constituents, especially those of color reside in it, and yet the Central Ave. line, which gives the worst service of any street-car line in Cleveland, has its western terminus nearly a half mile from the public square the center of the city. A few years ago, this car-line, according to an annual report of the Cleveland Railway Co., was the third best-paying line in the city. By curtailing the service since that time, the company has succeeded in driving so much of the Central Ave. car-line patronage to the Cedar Ave. and Scovill Ave. lines that it has been trying to get the consent of the City Council to take the cars off the avenue and discontinue the 16 minute service now given, absolutely the worst in the city. For the life of us, we cannot understand why the three "Negro" councilmen, at least one a member of the transportation committee of the City Council, sit supinely by and permit a condition like this to continue when it is of so much interest and value to their constituents of color, particularly. The mistreatment of the great mass of our people of this city by the Cleveland Railway Co., in its miserable Central Ave. car-line service, amounts to more than a great aggravation and an insult which it is high time for all to loudly protest against. If our councilmen continue to persist in doing nothing to secure their constituents the service on that car-line they are clearly entitled to, in common with all the rest of the residents of Cleveland, then it is up to our people of this city to take the matter in their own hands and next year replace Councilmen Payne, Bundy and George with members of the race who will do something material or their constituents.

Tuesday night, the Cleveland News held its Christmas Fund "festival" at Public Hall. Among the ten bouts held, seemingly the most interest was shown in the mixed bout between Sammy Slaughter of Indianapolis, weighing 161 lbs., and Paul Pirrone (white) of Chicago, weighing 155 lbs., and 33 seconds of the fourth round, Slaughter shot a short right to Pirrone's chin and it was all over. Paul was out for fully a minute.
Newspaper reports announce that no Afro-American player will be seen on any of the "Big Ten" basketball teams, next season, because of a "Gentleman's Agreement." Only in the United States and hell does these prejudiced bigots have the nerve to call themselves "gentlemen." They should listen to those real (and the Lord has only a few of them) in this country, and they should be gentlemen. Dw. W. T. Ellis and the Rev. James M. Gillis, editor of the Catholic World, who are endeavoring to show such narrow-minded, prejudiced kluxers that they are only "bringing a curse upon their own and their children's souls." If any of these "Big 10" schools are state institutions, their officials, who are a party to the agreement, as do the men's Agreement," are a menace to the good name and standing of their respective states.
Metcalfe Tolan to Share Title
Metcalfe, Tolan to Share Title.
New York, Nov. 25.—Little Eddie Tolan, winner of the Olympic 100 and 200 meters run, will see his name in the A. A. U. records as century meter champion, but bracketed with that of Ralph Metcalfe, officials decided. The decision came about when several of those present still held their belief that Metcalfe and not Tolan was the winner of the event. Failing to carry their vote for Metcalfe thru they then found those favoring Tolan willing to admit that the men had finished too close together for their victory. Thus it was decided that the names of both men should be bracketed and for the first time the A. A. U. will have a pair of champions in a single event. This will be perfectly satisfactory to Tolan and Metcalfe who are not only fast friends but real sportsmen.
Recovers $4,500.
St. Louis, Mo.—E. H. H. Stewart of Toledo had nothing but praise, Tuesday, for hotel employees. Anxiously, he returned to a hotel here to sell $4,500 left by mistake in a pillow slip where he had placed it for safe-keeping overnight. A man with a Reed, headache, had fled the money and turned it in to the clerk. Wonder what Mr. Stewart gave her?

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.

(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, bar-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 of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, personified 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 at the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skim
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

How wonderful it is to be beautiful! To have hair that is long, soft and silky—hair that, when bobbed, falls in graceful curls, charmingly framing the face—hair that secrets the air with a dainty, mysterious perfume.
Is it any wonder that such women are beloved?
Gladys Robinson, famous leading lady of "The Smart Set", has such hair and says of it, "I owe it is beauty to Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Without this wonderful product I would be lost. It is the best thing of its kind I have ever tried and since I am an actress and who must be as beautiful as the hair of the girl, I have naturally used many products."

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 hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assassin!

Magnificent Rio
A Street Vendor of Rio.
Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
IO DE JANEIRO, which recently has been disturbed by political strife involving several Brazilian states, basks on the golden sands almost astride the Tropic of Capricorn.
To enter this great world port, you walk down the gangplank and straight out into a formal garden with a big bronze fountain. This leads off into a Fifth-avenuellike boulevard, which in turn flows into a wide, world-famous beach drive, past embassies, clubs, and palms and geometric gardens. Dingy docks, pawn shops, pool halls, quick and dirty cafes, cheap rooming houses, runners, dirt, smells—all the trash and claptrap of many other water fronts are missing here.

Out in the bay, the startling profiles of singular peaks rise in their bulbs like elephants sitting in grotesque pose. They include the much-photographed Sugar Loaf, and the oddly-shaped Corcovado, or Hunchback.
Rising fully 1,200 feet and almost straight out of the sea, Sugar Loaf is easily Rio's outstanding landmark. Incoming air pilots, if half lost in fog or rain, hall its familiar outlines with grunts of relief. In a queer aerial trolley—a dizzy trip which is a supreme triumph for the nervous—you can reach its top in two laps. The first stage carries you to the top of Urca; there, if still conscious, you ride on up to the crest of Sugar Loaf for a balloonlike view of the bay and city.
Look at this spectacular city from Sugar Loaf, Hunchback, or any high angle, and you see how smoothly in mass, form, and color it harmonizes with the shape and shades of its terrestrial environment.
You observe that it is cohesive, one work of art; yet it is not a solid city, with a checkerboard pattern of blocks and squares squeezed into rigid "city limits," like Lelpzig or Indianapolis.
Something easy, loose, and fluent in its multicolored distribution makes you feel that Rio is simply flowing down the mountains about it in graceful architectural streams, then coming to rest in quiet valleys and on sandy beaches.
Seen From the Air.
Fly over it and its marvels only multiply; it has so many parts, sections, and suburbs; and in its pattern, from the sky, it looks like a great paint-spotted easel of blue water, yellow sand, green trees, red roofs, pink and blue walls. Think of all these colored parts turning round and round, like the odd-formed bits of colored glass in an old-fashioned kalidescope. Then you can imagine exactly how Rio looks from an airplane that banks and turns, a mile above it, on a bright, clear day.
Back to earth, on the famous Avenda Rio Branco, the Unter den Linden or Fifth avenue of Rio de Janeiro, you meet the city at its best; also, familiar big-town sights, sounds, and smells make you feel normal here and much at home.
New York papers, any popular North American magazine, chewing gum from Chicago, your own favorite brand of safety razor, cigarettes, fountain pen, writing or talking machine, sport roadster, ice-box, or onboard motorboat—all are here, with all their familiar show-window placards that greet you on Main street anywhere from Syracuse to Seattle. Likewise, radio sets, crooning to crowds the latest Broadway "hits"; displays of North American cameras; enlarged snaps of local bathing beauties having Brazilian "it"; groups of soccer players; the dark horse that paid 20 to 1 at last Sunday's races and his popular jockey, pictured peeping through a big horse-shoe of flowers.
And Rio, window-shopping here, looks in on Paris perfumes, soaps, chapeaux, gowns and lingerie; German etchings, water colors, oils, and shelves of drugs and surgical instruments and hardware; English rackets, balls, cricket sets, saddles, socks, hats, and pipes; and, most significant of all, the steady march of Brazil's own manufacturing, revealed in huge stocks of textiles, leather, shirts, clothing, dishes, dry goods, toys, shoes, and packaged food—all "made in Brazil!" This wide, respilient avenue, one and an eighth miles long, lined with beautiful trees, and piercing the city from the Beira Mar to the piers, was boldly opened only two decades ago in the ambitious plan for a better city.
Seen From the Air.
To cut it through, nearly 600 buildings were razed.
One of its startling aspects is its sidewalk, made up of small stones of different colors, laid in zigzags, in waves, and in other dizzy patterns.
Interesting Street Crowds.
But it is the people who interest you most, especially the crowds who promenade late in the afternoon. Coffee shops, cafes and tea rooms line the Avenida Rio Branco, many with wide colored awnings that reach out over the pavement. Flocks of tables are set out here in the open air, so that patrons may sip drinks, smoke, and watch the well-dressed, handsome women who stroll by to be admired.
This is a custom of the country. It is perfectly correct to cast admiring glances, and the women do not resent it. In fact they expect it. And on fine evenings, the passing show is not unlike a parade of mannequins displaying the latest styles in feminine garb at a New York fashion show.
Although prohibition is unknown in Brazil, very few seem to daily much with the cup that cheers. Cosmopolitan seaport though it is, Rio is a most orderly and abstemious place. But it drinks coffee to excess.
What we call lunch is breakfast in Rio. After this meal the brokers, bankers, merchants and clerks all flock to their favorite resort to drink coffee. Late in the afternoon they all go again, and perhaps at various other times during the day they drop in for the tiny cup, if they happen to be near a cafe.
Coffee is taken very strong and sweet, as in the Near East. In the cheaper cafes an automatic bowl of granulated sugar is on each table. By means of a trigger, it shoots a man's allowance into his cup at one dash. Often you see men try it first toward the floor, to see if it is working!
By his dress alone you can seldom tell an upper-class Brazilian from a well-groomed European. You seldom see a man without a vest, even on hot days. Derby hats and carcasses are everywhere; some men carry fans; and bootlacks and barbers could almost claim an "essential occupation" to avoid the draft in wartime!
Here, along the Rio Branco, is the voice of the city. Around these sidewalk cafes you hear town talk, which may be in any one of three or four languages. It is a gossips' free-for-all. And here conversation is an art—as much enjoyed as music. All the lounging coffee drinkers and the groups standing about wave their hands and wobble their heads in Latin-American emphasis, each anxious to make him self heard. Passing by, you hear scraps of talk on every theme, from the coffee crop and the São Paulo snake farm to the identity of the pretty girl who just went by in a roadster.
United States Visitors Welcome.
Nowhere, from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn, is the visitor from the United States more welcome than in Rio. Whether he comes as tourist, salesman, scientist, diplomat, artist, student, teacher, resident engineer, merchant, or delegate to an international highway conference, he soon senses that Brazilians hold our country in high esteem.
Between the two capitals, Rio and Washington, friendly diplomatic intercourse has been unbroken for a hundred years. When we entered the World war, President Braz of Brazil said in his message to congress: "With our elder brother, the United States, at war, it is impossible for Brazil to remain neutral."
Rio—rich, leisurely, and at ease—is not "Americanized" in dress, manners, or in methods. Probably she never will be, for here a new race is in the making—a racial analgamation new to the world possessing unique social, industrial, and cultural possibilities.
But Rio is tolerant and wise. From us, as from Europe, she takes what she can use, whether it is ideas or goods. This is fair play among nations. Brazil buys about one-fourth of all her imports from us, and we buy perhaps 45 per cent of all she exports. If she feels that her young men can learn more about engineering, agriculture, or dentistry in the United States than in Europe, she sends them here to school. If she thinks North American capital and managerial talent can improve her public utilities, she invites their aid; and, co-operating vigorously, she sets her public health officials to work side by side with American "Rocketeller doctors" in yellow fever control.
Formal Modes in Glittering Array
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
UDGING from appearances, Dame Fashion does not know that there is such a thing as "depression" in the world of affairs these days or if she does she is not letting on, or perhaps this arbitrary dictator of the mode has determined to cheer us up a bit by brightening the style picture with all the gleam and glitter at her command. At any rate the new fashionally scintillate with the sparkle of sequins and beads and other pretty tinsel effects together with a lavish use of metal cloths and weaves which dazzle the eye with their glint of "silver threads among the gold."
While, of course, these glamorous metallies are making their biggest showing at formal night affairs, let the daytime program is by no means without the glittering note. The newest woolens, likewise knitted effects, are many of them enriched with interweavings of metal threads while tis'ue-like lame weaves for the making of the new blouses, are loomed in colorful patternings.
It is significant that this interest for metallic effects extends to the realm of accessories as well as to the field of dresses and wraps. Daytime costumes are enlivened with quantities of metal buttons, milheads, clips, and gold, silver or bronze belts and fancy girdles, with millinery showing up in cloth cloths and ornaments in endless intriguing ways. The advent of the

Here is a dress good to look upon.
It is just the sort every woman is sure to covet. It is made of one of those lovely new striped lustrous velvets which are so extremely smart this season. The combination is beige and brown. The designer realizes how effective stripes are when worked together cunningly. The belt is of an antelope skin set with steel nailheads, the swanky beret is of brown velvet
New Browns
For the most part the new browns which, by the way, will be very good this winter, are very dark. One dark brown is called "kafa." A lighter shade is known as "rum."

dressy dinner hat and the favor for formal evening headwear stimulates the vogue for things glittering.
Stripes are the "last word" when it comes to metal cloths for formal evening wear. The handsome gown pictured is of gorgeous black and silver lame. This same idea of stripes is also interpreted in silver-wrapped tafeta such as blue silk with silver patterning.
For evening wraps designers are showing a keen interest in matelasses with metal such as white matelasse its indefinite motif picked out with gold or silver.
Now that the social season is on, the most fetching sequin embroidered capes and jackets are making their debut at theater, opera and the dance. The ravishing little cape which rests on the shoulders of the pretty debutante standing in the picture is composed of tiers of tiny flat ruffles which are worked solidly with steel gray sequins. The velvet gown has a cutwork design of huge flowers.
Another favored way of injecting glitter into the evening mode is that of sleeveing the dress of velvet or satin, crepe or taffeta as the case may be with sequin-covered tissue or with georgette laced with metal patternings. Then, too, crepes shot with gold or silver threads which sometimes trace a delicate design are made up into the dress entire.
BRONZE IS LATEST STYLE IN COLORS
Bronze is one of the new colors for winter. Or, rather, it is a whole series of colors that begin with brown fish-greens and go through a whole gamut of changes of greenish-browns It appears in all types of clothes—coats, wraps, dresses, evening clothes, hats, bags and shoes. Bronze kid shoes are shown in several fashionable dressmaking establishments as the correct evening slippers to go with dresses of all colors and types. The bronze greens are practically the only greens that have any fashion importance in Paris this year. They are handsome colors—most of them dark, and becoming to women of most all types. They look especially well when combined with black, with gray, beige and other pastels.
"Essential Ensemble" New Idea in Eco
A new "essential ensemble" design to satisfy the demands of both economy and elegance is Paris' latest offering.
It takes its name from the practicality of its design, built as an all-round costume ready for any affair from breakfast to dinner.
Its fabrics are a score of new soft wools in the autumn shades of rust, emerald green, haze purple, olive green and gray. Its lines are generally modeled after the design of the three-piece suit or the design accompanied by a bip-length jacket.
Fur—both flat and fluffy—are applied in a new way as an integral part of the essential ensemble's design. Black astrakhan is applied in a flat bib on the bodice of one frock, black galyak makes patch pockets on a suit, and brown shaved lamb is used as incrustations on the shoulder line of a frock.
Evening Gowns Are Now
Made With Cape Effect
Cape effects mark many of the new evening gowns. One chic model is designed of rose colored velvet with a cape draped to the shoulder and worn draped around the arms to give a cape effect.
The costume is completed with velvet glove and slippers to match.

Schools Fail to Teach Children How to Read

READING is a much more complicated matter than most persons suppose, and the eyes, instead of moving evenly across the page, scan the line in a series of leaps and pauses, according to M. J. Julian, Director of the Better Vision Institute, speaking at a meeting in New York City. The speed at which the eyes move is the number of pauses and the number of pauses a line determine a person's reading ability. Experiments on high school students have shown that the eyes of a person reading a line of type three and one-half inches long pause anywhere from five to ten times, with an average pause for every half inch of type. The eyes change focus from pause to pause, which last from one-tenth to one-quarter of a second, and the green area on the part of the eyes required in reading.
Most persons read more than one word at a time, experiments showing that the average reader takes in one and one-half words at each focus of the eyes was the focus of eight specialists the focusing of the vision at each hop was centered on the middle of the words in the text, but experiments have demonstrated that fixation of vision falls upon any part of the words and frequently in the area of the eye. College students are not much better readers than grade students, continued Mr. Julian, provided, of course, the material read is suited to the maturity of the reader. The ability to co-ordinate the eyes and the reading is maintained in the early grades, and no marked increase in speed of reading is manifested as children pass from elementary school to high school and college. This probably results in a large measure from the fact that children develop more rapid silent reading.
Great differences are seen in reading ability of children, some being able to read three or four times as rapidly as others. Such variations can be attributed to many causes, continued Mr. Julian. The muscles and the brain of some individuals are better co-ordinated than those
INDUSTRIAL research during the last quarter of a century has become the result that no important invention has been made in this country during that time which has been the work of one man. Thousands of engineers and chemists now form the research staffs of the leading industries of the United States, and the inventions and discoveries being made are the result of the cooperative efforts of many. Inventor James A. Atteit, a writer, Research is no longer on a hit-or-miss basis. Industry knows exactly what it wishes to accomplish, and after the engineering or chemical problems relating to design and production are mapped out, a staff of experts are assigned to solve the problems. One of the most interesting industrial laboratories is that at Stamford, Conn., of the Petroleum Heat and

in other persons. Practice improves speed in reading. Defective vision is often a factor. With more than 5,000,000 juveniles in the United States having defective vision, the ability to keep up with others is at once apparent. Generally speaking, a child who can read easily and rapidly, can acquire knowledge and make greater progress than the slow-reading child. Even in adult life, when the pressing demand is time, the slow reader is under a great hand, a State.

"Educators up to now have not generally seemed to understand the importance of rapid silent reading. Although it is true that oral reading exercises are a part of the program of every elementary school, continued research has been carried that oral reading is very different from silent reading. The vocalization of the words makes the process slow and cumbersome and distract attention, which lessens speed. Oral reading is three or four times as slow as silent reading. Training in oral reading is certainly valuable, but training in reading is reading the average individual will do all his life after he leaves school, is a problem neglected by our educators."
