THE GAZETTE FREE PARKING 2618 E. 53rd Opposite Market ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since BENNETT COLLEGE FOR WOMEN For the Southland—The Bennett College Quartette Leading the Way —Ohio Represented. Greensboro, N. C.—The Bennett College for Women quartette has HOUSING PLAN CAN'T SUCCEED! An Economist Says Prevaling Interest, Tax Costs, Etc., Doom the Scheme and He Is Right, Too. Any housing project looking to elimination of the city's blighted areas thru use of Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds is bound to fail under present conditions, is the opinion of Allen J. Wilson, Cleveland real estate operator and economist, who has made an intensive study of the problem. There are fundamental points that militate against even the possibility of a housing project being successfully carried thru here at this time, Wilson says. Five outstanding factors are cited by Wilson as a reason for his opinion. These include "rugged individualism," land speculation, financing, organized labor and the taxing system. The last named factor—the taxing system is really the crux of the real situation, in Wilson's opinion, but any one of the factors would become of vital importance were the tax matter entirely eliminated. "If we are to provide housing that will eliminate the slum, we must build it for people who, in the best of times, cannot afford to pay more than $4 to $5 a month per room." said it to "and it is here that the trouble lies." Cites Interest. Taxes. Cities in which it seems impossible to produce housing units that can meet the need. Wilson says he bases his building cost on $6,000 per unit of five rooms and bath, including the necessary land. Of this sum, the builder is expected to get $4,000 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and $2,000 from private sources. At this time the R. F. C. asks interest at 5 per cent, which means that if the builder obtained $4,000 from that source he would pay for its use at the rate of $200 annually. Wilson shows private money also costs 5 per cent and the additional $2,000 would cost $100. Thus the builder would have a fixed interest charge of $300 a year, which would mean he would have to get $25 monthly or $5 per room, from the tenant to keep even with the interest. Under the present rate of taxation in the county, the builder would have the balance of of taxation from $165 annually in taxes. This is figured at the rate of $2.75 per $100 for the $6,000. Add this to the $300 for interest and it would mean an expenditure of $465 annually, or nearly $40 per month, bringing the room cost to $6 monthly, the Wilson figures reveal. "As we pointed out, we cannot hope to get more than $5 monthly per room." Wilson said, "and here we have the rooms costing not less than $10, not including depreciation, insurance, administration and unkeep." BISHOP HEARD Refusing to Turn Over Funds Belonging to Wilberforce U., Presi- dency Wilberforce, O.—The trials and tribulations of the university will continue unless our bishops become amenable to the will of the people and the laws of the M. E. Church. Discussing the situation, recently Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president of Wilberforce University, said in part: "At the Chautauqua, Sept. 28 and 29, the First Episcopal District of the Church, propricated over $3,100 to Wilberforce U. It has since raised several hundred dollars more, the total being between $8,000 and $9,000. All of this should have gone to Wilberforce, promptly. But the university has not even received the $3,100 and the Chautauqua has been over more than two months. "This is a most deplorable and disgusting case for Bishop W. Heard has said he will be he pleases with the money that come into his hands, and nobody shall stop him," declared Dr. Wright. been engaged to sing at a "Victory Dinner," Jan. 13, at George Washington hotel, N. Y. City, for the benefit of the Ethel Harpst school at Cedar Town, Ga.—an institution maintained by the M. E. Church for children (white) of the mountains of northern Georgia. This is one of the few HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING At a meeting, Monday afternoon, of the City Council committee on transportation, Safety Director Merrick pointed out that for various reasons, the city's police force is 81 men short of the ordinance strength of 1,200 men. He blamed council for not acting in the matter. Both Council President Marshall, chairman of the finance committee, and Councilman George, chairman of the safety committee, took exception to Merrick's assertion that council is to blame. They said the city is without funds to maintain a larger police force. "Council has given all the money it can," George asserted. "I don't know of any requests for more men by Merrick. He hasn't even replaced 50 men dropped from the service this year, and they we need more police. I also believe the people of this city should be given enough food to live on." When Merrick replaces the fifty policemen dropped from the service, this year, "The Blossom Triplets" ought to see that a few of the new policemen are Afro-Americans and not let fifty new members be again added to the force, like two years ago, with our people being left out in the cold entirely—not even getting one of the officers to document their service on the Central Ave, car-line, surely they will get them a policeman, or three. In the meeting of the council, Monday evening, George and Bundy tried to amuse the other members of that more or less august body by telling of "a little incident" that happened out in the fourth district during the campaign, last fall. It was a pointless story founded upon one of Bundy's long-winded talks at one of George's meetings of which he (George) was to have been the principal speaker. He said Bundy's "three-hour" speech left him "fired and numb." Someone has been unkind enough to suggest that the word "dumb" should have been counted in the same council meeting. Councilman Ejbl of the second district refused to vote on the thru-ring of East and West side car-lines because, as he said, he believed car-lines in the southern section of the city should be routed to "And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. "And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. "And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." --- occasions in the history of education in the South when one of our institutions has been called on to aid in raising funds for a school of the other race. The appearance of the Bennett quartette at this dinner is another landmark in the history of the col- CHRISTMAS "And she brought forth her first-born in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a was no room for them in the inn.

This would include the Central and Scovill Ave. car-lines, both of which pass thru the very heart of our section of the city. Of course "The Blossom Tripleta" showed no interest in this, doubled because it would have their constitutions served on both the car-lines mentioned. Meantime, Councilman Grossman is striving hard to secure three-cent fare on the Superior, Wade Park, Payne and Cedar lines between E. 22d St. and the public square. Councilmen Payne and Bundy are apparently too greatly interested in the old bricks, the Wayfarer lodge, to get three-cent fare for the patrons of the Central and Scovill Ave. car-lines from E. 22d St. to the public square. LORD. HAVE MERCY! A "Minister" Betrays a Member of the Race Fleecing for His Life. Greenville, Miss.,—When Ed Dunlap, hunted leeve worker, appeared at Rev. George Valentine's, last week, and gave him his last two dollars for some food, the preacher went to the sheriff and returned at the head of a gang of white brushes that brutally lynched him after he had put up a heroic fight in which several of the lynch-murders were wounded. Dunlap had had a fight with his foreman (white) who refused to pay him his wages. Returning later to renew his demand for his pay, the preacher, and Dunlap was not yet cowed, the foreman reached for his gun. Dunlap beat him to the draw, fired two shots into the foreman's abdomen, and escaped to the swamps where he wandered for hours until he turned up at the home of the preacher, but betrayed him. THIRD DEGREE TORTURE Nets a Youth of the Race $22,500- Fingers Burned to the Bone. Newburgh, N. Y. —The seared hands of Alvin Dumas, age 21, and his story of "third degree" torture by a state trooper and a railroad detective, won him a verdict of $22,500 (damages), last week Thursday. Dumas told a jury before Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauer that he was dragged into a railroad shanty at Sparrowbush, where his captors blackjacked him and burned his fingers to the bone in an attempt to force from him a confession that he had stolen brass from the Erie yards. Matches were applied to his fingers by State Trooper John Lawson and the blackjack was wielded by Harry Decker, an operative for the railroad. Dumas testified. Both were white brutes. Mountain "Cracker" Prejudice Mena, Ark.—Thirty-four of the 55 students at Commonwealth Labor college, located in this mountain town, have been expelled, and six have been arrested, as a result of a demonstration by the students, last week, in which they demanded that all color-barriers be wiped out and that students of all races be admitted on terms of equality. lege's effort to gain equal but not separate recognition among the colleges of the M.

Bura Hilburn (white), former state supervisor of "Negro" education in Mississippi, has just been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary as a result of his conviction on charges of embezzling in excess of $53,000 of Rosenwald funds allotted that state. At the annual meeting, week before last, of the Texas State Teachers Association (white) at Fort Worth to which our Texas State Association of Teachers were invited, to take charge of its concluding program, both races were segregated, in the First Baptist church. Mrs. R. M. Butler (white) who died at Savannah, Ga., recently left $18,000 to her servants, several of whom were members of the race. The National Benefit Life Ins.

Miss Maldie Gamble is from Lima, O., Grace Coulbourne from Berlin, Md., Jessie Dickson, Nannie Wright and Carrie Robinson live in this city. It appears that the president of the Southern Baptist convention refused to attend a banquet given by northern Baptists at Rochester, N.Y., some weeks ago, and his real reason for non-attendance, was that Mr. Rose, presiding officer, was a Negro Baptist clergyman. He is also quoted as saying that he was the representative of "four million Baptists in the South" and that he had regard for their convictions. Any attempt at A. B. Dr. William A. Byrd. church-union between the North and the South, in any of the Protestant denominations, can only be consummated by the North bowing to the unchristian attitude of hypocritical southerners. Union upon this basis, means disunion and religious mobocracy upon the basis of southern bigotry! Plain talk and action are necessary now, so far as colored men are concerned. No self-respecting man desires association with anybody that does not desire it with him. No self-respecting man, in religion or out of it, will seek to occupy a place in any organization where he is made the butt of prejudice, mob psychology, sectional bitterness and capped wickedness. If heaven should be governed in accordance with the rules of southern bigots towards Negroes, some would prefer hell, for there we would all have a fair chance to burn. Self-respecting Negroes hanging on to their association with unchristian white bodies, manifest the sorriest spectacle imaginable. The South is not a year ago in things progressing, and humanism in religion it is as cruel as the dark ages. Negroes should speak out and say they do not desire any closer union with whites than now and if a closer union is to come, they will unite only with such bodies as at least make a feint at obeying the teachings of Christianity. Negroes demand equality in all things they are interested. Negroes also reserve the right to say who are their social equais and the much-heralded opinion that Negroes are seeking "social equality" with whites, reds, yellows or what not, is without foundation. Too many of their groups have maintained intimate social equality with us already and we sometimes think their apparent horror at social equality is nothing more than a disgust of their own previous behaviour. It is no compliment to anybody to have a close union with rabid sectionalists. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. How It Is Done, "Down Home."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1932. The principal of the School of Nursing at City Hospital has announced that no one of our girls has fully qualified as yet for admission to the January class. Too bad! When we have a chance, it seems as tho we will not take advantage of it. --- Prof. Herbert A. Miller of Oberlin was not dismissed from the faculty of Ohio State University solely because of his views on the teachings of Mahatma Gandi but principally because of his stand on the so-called race question. He does not entertain the fool racial prejudices so general among his class or race, and is very free and frank to so express himself anywhere. Dr. Miller is in the select class represented by Bishop Manning of New York state, Father J. M. Gillis, editor of the Catholic World; Dr. Wm. T. Ellis, an English clergyman, and a few others. The editor of The Gazette wishes all a Merry Christmas, especially the following persons who have sent us holiday remembrances in the shape of pretty souvenir post-cards and letters: Mrs. Kate A. Baker, Pasadena, Calif.; Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook, Washington, D. C.; Hon. Jos. T. Tracy, state auditor, Columbus; Miss Dellah L. Beasley, Oakland, Calif.; W. L. Gordon, Cincinnati; James Anognost, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Rhodes, Monterrey, Mexico; Mrs. Ia Cash, Mille Ella Ferguson, Harry A. Thompson, Hon. Kerber K. Gillespie and Mr. and Mrs. Emory E. Sharber of this city. A Miss Edna Thomas (white) of New Orleans, lecturer and radio speaker, who was in the city, recently, said in an interview the "Negro has faith—an absolute reliance upon God. His singing has beauty of melody. This jumping around and hysteria in religious services are not distinctly 'Negro' but part of the system of the old-time revivalist and may be seen today among both whites and blacks in the backwoods sections." Miss Thomas is right. The foregoing reminds us that some years ago we were driving from the west end of the county toward the city when we came to a medium size church just outside of this city's western borderline from which came the sounds of shouting, etc. On investigation, we found that "the jumping around and hysteria" was being done and affected, respectively, by Meth.dists (white) and they were sure having a good time. SHOWING HIS HAND. Judging from statements issued, several weeks ago, by England, France and other foreign country-debtors, and the course all of them have followed since, we are inclined to believe that they were encouraged by powerful influences in this country to say what they have said and to do as they have done, as far as their debt-payments to this country are concerned. Now comes President Hoover with an insistence that this country "make immediate preliminary negotiations with foreign governments on war-debts," etc. Why the haste? It looks very much to a "man up a tree" that his failure to be reelected has "messed up" contemplated action upon the part of the Hoover administration and its powerful backers—the men and certain business organizations that brot about his nomination four years ago and forced his re-nomination, some months ago. The President's announced intention "to invite the cooperation of President-Elect Roosevelt" in the face of the failure of their recent alleged conference because the President-Elect absolutely refused to confer, would indicate that the President is apparently unduly anxious to cut down the debt obligations to this country of foreign countries, at least those that made their interest-payments on the 15th of this month. His most recent mea-sage-statement to the effect that "the debt situation cannot wait for the administration to change" is another thing that leads us to believe what we have said in the foregoing. All of which, if true (and we think it is), ought to strongly influence congressmen against the acceptance of the suggestion in the President's most recent message relative to the war debt situation. The position Roosevelt takes in this matter, after he succeeds to the Presidency, will tell the people plainer than words whether he is with them or "Big Money," the power that has controlled every President of the United States since the War of the Rebellion with the exception of Theodore Roosevelt. It is this power that was behind the tremendous effort of Al Smith and Tammany to prevent the nomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt. His course relative to these debt-payments, after he becomes President, will show plainly whether or not "Big Money" has succeeded in "getting" him since his election. We sincerely trust that the Congress will maintain its position against any further decrease in the debts of foreign countries and not allow them to drag that matter down to the level of their reparations troubles. GEORGE AGAIN PROMISES. Cleveland, Dec. 20, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—Your letter of Dec. 13 received. In reply, beg to advise that on yesterday I introduced two resolutions asking that the Cleveland Railway Company be requested to improve the street-car service on both the Central and Scovill Ave. car- lines. When the time comes I hope you and other persons interested may find it convenient to be present at the committee meetings, and help us to realize better service on those lines. The suggestion that the matter will become a prime issue in the campa- nage, next year, is of no importance to me. The service is bad and should be improved without any reference to or regard for any political campaign. Clayborne George. The above communication is self-explanatory with the following: Several years ago, The Gazette urged Councilman George to get improved service on the Central and Cedar Ave. car-lines. He promptly introduced a resolution, asking for the same. Soon after he was given a ride on the Cedar Ave. line, during "rush hours" (when street-car service is at its best, be that bad as it may) by an official of the Cleveland Railway Company. That was the last of his resolution. There was no immediate improvement in the miserable service of those two car-lines, and there has been none since. On the contrary, it has steadily grown worse, particularly that of the Central Ave. line. We sincerely trust he but "other persons interested" will make it convenient to be present at the committee meetings and help secure better service on these lines, if it is possible, providing of course the councilman will keep us posted as to the dates of the meetings that consider his resolutions. George's statement, that the suggestion that the matter of improved service on these car-lines will become a prime issue in the campaign, next year, is of no importance to him, would indicate that he is not going to be a candidate for ANY office at that time. Nevertheless, it will become an issue, just the same, and the other two "Blossom Triplets," Councilmen Payne and Bundy, will have to face it in their campaign for re-election, and if Councilman George stands as a candidate for municipal judge, as is currently rumored, he too will have it to face unless the improved service sought is secured, this time. Yes, "the service is bad" and has been for several years. All regret that an effort to secure its improvement has been delayed so long by all three of our councilmen. AN OPPORTUNITY!

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. 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 loy. 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. YOU KNOW ME.

Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob shall constitute a "nynching" 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 as damages from the county in which 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. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor surviving, the widow receiving such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 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 against him, and such person shall be killed by such a mob. (93 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 with the costs of action, in the county, a commissioning jail, 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 two collars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (63 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which probing occurs, may recover the amount of 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 the person involved in the vigilance on the part of officials of such 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, 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 accommodations, advantages facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved 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.

To take off fat—take one half teaspoonful of Kruchen Saline in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—one bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a few cents at any drugstore in America.

Smith, Editor, Gazette Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle. I take off my hat and as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) 1930 This is I. L.

Two large general exhibits of tobacco, wheat, corn, oats and truck products, all grown with special fertilizers manufactured by The American Agricultural Chemical Company, won first and second prizes, and he was awarded the Championship Prize over all other farm exhibitors for his record number of firsts. He intends to exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair Prime Sport News Metcalfe Intensely Loyal!

Terre Haute, Ind.—Sammy "Kid" Slaughter, Terre Haute middleweight, who recently fought so successfully in a Cleveland benefit boxing, recorded one of the fastest knockouts ever seen here, Monday night, when he finished Young Stuhley (white) of Kewanee, Ill., in 28 seconds of the first round. A solid right blow to the jaw put Stuhley down. He was unconscious for two minutes. Slaughter weighed 161½ and Stuhley, 154%. Cleveland, O., Notes.

The football team's are: Engle Dolly and Alice Murrell, Camille Russell, Betty Sills, Alice Greene and Vashti Parker. Two "Feather" Champs to Clash. When Buffalo landed the "Kid Chocolate"-Tommy Paul fight for early in February, it won what will be one of the most important battles of the new year. Paul is recognized by the National Boxing association as the featherweight champion, it is said, while "Chocolate" is given the State Boxing Commission. The latter has the strongest claim to the title, undoubtedly, but Paul will be the best man he has met in some time, with the exception of Fidel La-Barba. Jack Singer, Paul's manager, has been side-stepping a "Chocolate" bout for a long time, preferring to bring his boy along gradually. Tommy's excellent showing in the N. B. A. elimination tournament, which he won easily, convinced Singer that a much-much much "Kid," however, doesn't think very much of Paul for he is now in line for a crack at Johnny Jackid, junior welterweight champion, at Havana late in February.

We colored Americans' worst present blunder is use of the word Negro as a race name. It is useful in imbubing the minds of white people with the fool idea that we are not Americans, and not fully human beings. — Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter in the Boston Guardian. THE MAN WHO DARES "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. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contented. The Americans are still of universal discrimination, 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 submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature self-respect and have no 'guit.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. KNOXIT PROPHYLACTIC Unnatural and mucous discharges can be avoided by destroying the germs of infectious diseases. $1.10 at all druggists.

C.-WNU Service. MEXICO City, North America's oldest metropolis, recently hailed a new president. Almost as suddenly as Pascual Ortiz Rubio resigned, Gen. Abelardo Rodríguez became the new master of Mexico's "White House." twenty years later, the milian bade sad farew before he faced the f on through the Diaz ranza, Obregon, Cal regimes, this blood-s seen Mexican history pawnshops, churches, Mexico City is an astonishing place. Things have happened here so strange and unusual that were they not set down in authentic records they would tax all belief. It looms largest in the mind of the average American because of its supremely important diplomatic relations with Washington, growing out of the many old, unsolved questions between the two republics; but in modern, superficial aspects it is not unlike some other Latin-American capitals. It has old palaces, parks, paintings, and libraries; colleges, convents, great newspapers, and broadcasting stations; likewise diplomats, soldiers, traffic jams, and jails. It buys and sells, and makes soap, soda water, shoes, shirts, candy, cigarettes, furniture, machinery, leatherware, patent medicines, and textiles. Sit in one of its theaters and watch a "news reel"'; swim, dance, play golf or tennis at a club, or land at Bailubaena field in a passenger plane from El Paso, and—except that you hear Spanish instead of Yankee chatter—you might as well be in Denver. In fact, the high top light and nearby snow peaks much resemble the scenic settings of Colorado. But under all this standardized modernism is much more—a blend of Spanish and Aztec forces that goes back 400 years. You see signs of this, now and then, in flat, three-cornered Aztec faces moving stolid in street crowds. Probe the mystic past and you find that certain historic events staged here swayed the destiny of our continent for centuries. Here Christianity got its first foothold in North America, when idols were turned into altars and a glittering but cruel pagan culture yielded stubbornly to European civilization. Here America's first sheet music and first book were published. Here its first money was coined. And here, too, appeared the "Flying Mercury." Some have styled it America's "first newspaper," but more likely it was but a pamphlet on history or political discussion. When Cortez Came. Imagine yourself in Mexico City that fateful day in 1519 when Cortez came. (You remember his first arrival was peaceful; the dreadful 93 days of fighting, often hand-to-hand, came on a later visit). Montezuma, glittering with jewels and golden decorations, gorgeous in his royal robe and golded sandals, comes out to meet Cortez and escort him into the island city. Unseen till then by any white man's eye, the greatest city in North America is astir with pagan life. Could you have been there, walking and talking with Cortez and the Emperor Montezuma, you, too, would have marveled as the Spaniards did. Down a broad, Fifth avenue-like thoroughfare Cortez and his amazed men followed the Aztec emperor. Throughout the Venice-like city ran canals crowded with thousands of busy canoes laden with passengers, fruit, fowl, flowers, grain, and fuel. Stone buildings lined both paved streets and canals, and on a great plaza stood the palace of Montezuma's father, faced by a great teocall, or sacrificial temple. Here, in 1325, the Aztecs first saw the symbolic snake and eagle and built their first temples. Here, in 1521, was staged one of the most bloody of all combats between Aztec and Spaniard, when Spanish prisoners of war were sacrificed to the idiots. Undoubtedly more people were executed here than at any other spot on earth. More than 100,000 skulls were found in one temple, and it is estimated that at least 20,000 men, women and children were sacrificed here each year. Even the Spaniards themselves, after the conquest, executed their own Castillian criminals here and exposed their heads, after the manner of the Aztecs, to the astonishment of visiting Indians. Here Itruble was proclaimed emperor in 1822. Here the American general, Winfield Scott, raised the Stars and Stripes in 1847, and here, twenty years later, the Emperor Maximilian bade sad farewell to his friends before he faced the firing squad. So on through the Díaz, Madero, Carranza, Obregon, Calles, and other regimes, this blood-stained area has seen Mexican history made. Palaces, pawnshops, churches, markets, and other institutions face it now, and into it run no fewer than ten thoroughfares, including the stately avenues of Cinco de Mayo, Madero, and the 16 de Septiembre. Old Market and Little Shops. On trancars, on foot, and in motor cars an incredible traffic stream pours through this plaza every day, and on its west side there flourishes what is perhaps the city's oldest market. Since 1524, when city officials gave merchants permission to build porticoes to shelter goods displayed on the sidewalk in front of their stores, retail trade has gone on here. For years the public letter-writers plied their pens here, helping many lovick Indians to "woo by mail." A few still do business. Walking by this plaza market now, you pass under arcades whose old walls are plastered with bullight posters and notices of lottery drawings. Slow-moving Mexican street crowds loiter before the little shops. These sell toys, sweet meats, newspapers, cheap Jewelry, and odds and ends of hardware and dishes, eyeglasses, postcards, and other trivial wares, for the city's large department stores and finest shops are out on fashionable avenues. Here, also, under these arcades, stuck away in tiny nooks, are men running little hand-printing presses for making cheap calling cards and stationery, and other indolent artisans who mend clocks, guitars, tell fortunes with canary birds, and paddle lottery tickets. And here, too, is the beggar known in Mexican slang as the pordiosero, or, literally, the "for-God's saker." On the south side of the plaza is a section known as the Portal de las Flores. This was the old flower market in days when canals still led to the plaza and Indians landed their canoes here. The Valley of Mexico. Sheer theatrical geography, that is the historic Valley of Mexico, or Anahuac. A vast, mountain-fringed oval it is, of 1,758 square miles. It tops the Mexican highlands as a great natural colosseum, a dramatic, sun-drenched setting for all the stirring events it has staged. Though in places more than 8,000 feet above the sea, flood waters long menaced its lower areas. Lakes and marshes were once more numerous than now. To protect ancient Tenochitlan, the Aztecs built many dikes in salty Lake Texcoco. Three great causeways connected their Venice-like city of water streets with the mainland, and a waterway for canoes and barges run out to Lake Texcoco. Floods were so bad, even before the Spaniards came, that the Aztecs had built dams, and as early as 1553 the Viceroy Luis de Velasco struggled with the problem. One gigantic trench—the still famous Tajo de Nochistongo—was begun in 1607, in which task thousands of overworked Indians perished. It was first opened as a tunnel to drain the valley lakes; then, closed in a dispute, flood waters rose three feet deep in the city streets. Changed later from a tunnel into a great trench, in places 100 feet deep and 300 feet wide, the Tajo de Nochistongo remains an amazing example of what early Spanishards could do with Indian slave labor. From your train you can see this historic man-made mountain pass now, as you ride into Mexico City from the north. One of the strangest aspects of Mexico City is that, though perched so high up near a continental divide, it long diked and diked itself like a seaside town in Holland. It was not till 1900, after centuries of study and work, that the city was made safe, when the great 30-mile Canal del Desague was completed. It is thou thousands of men worked for years, with teams, trams, and steam shovels. It is easily the most spectacular modern engineering feat from the Roosevelt dam to the Panama canal. CLEVERLAND O SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1932 Ultra Evening Modes May Up Capes BY CHERIE NICHOLAS THIS is a season when capes are high fashion. With all due respect to the handsome fur, cloth and velvet capes which distinguish current daytime modes, the real time and place to behold capes and THIS is a season when capes are high fashion. With all due respect to the handsome fur, cloth and velvet capes which distinguish current daytime modes, the real time and place to behold capes and near-capes and all their relations at the height of their glory is during the evening hours when formal array in all its splendor goes on dress parade, for it has been decreed that these graceful shoulder wraps shall play a role de luxe at theater, dance and dinner functions this winter. Now that designers have turned to cape effects as a means of adding a brilliant and gorgeous note to the formal costume, the theme becomes one of fascinating and varied interpretation. One of the happiest gestures in connection with this movement is the cape which is made of the same material as that which fashions the gowns which it tops. When the fabric happens to be sumptuous gold and silver lame as it is in the case of the magnificent costume pictured to the right in the picture, the ensemble takes on a glamorous beauty such as beits an occasion of ultra formality. The detail which is most impressive in connection with the cape of self-fabric is the precessional of the fur which almost without exception borders it. Sable is the chosen fur for the caped costume as here portrayed. Another fur in high favor for trimming the matched-to-the-dress cape is blue fox of the most costly kind. The dress with a matching cape need not always be of so extravagant nature in order to quality as an exponent of the most successful in the 1 All silk velvet corduroy is worn on street by smart Parisiennes. Mirande uses collar and cuffs of otter with brown corduroy. Note with what intrigue the stripes are manipulated. This ingenious handling of stripes is characteristic of many of the season's models. Suzanne Lenglen wore a white silk-ribbed velvet frock at a Paris night club gathering recently. Clanking Belts of Metal Featured This Featured This Season Many belts this season are of metal combined with scraps of fabric or ribbon—noisy, clanking affairs of copper, chromium, silver, and gold that do all sorts of dress parade tricks for the best street and sports clothes. Rhine stone belts that match shoulder straps are glittering on a lot of new evening gowns. style realm, for some of the most enchanting models are made of simple white crepe, their detachable capes of self-material being bordered with perhaps white murabou, or white lapin or, if your budget permits, snowy ermine. Speaking of ermine the black velvet gown with its black velvet cape which is banded with white ermine is making history this season. Not only are evening gowns caped but wraps of formal nature also are taking unto themselves adorable little capes which add to their lure in that they are detachable and can be worn at will with any gown or topping the coat as illustrated to the left in the picture. Here we see a Russian ermine caped wrap trimmed with Russian sable. Wouldn't the little shoulder cape be stunning worn with a brown or black velvet frock? Thus these detachable capes serve a many-fold purpose, which is a true lesson in economy, eh? In regard to the pretty cape shown in the inset, we thought you might be interested, for it is something very new. It is of white velvet and is referred to as the angel-wing evening cape, having two wings fastened on a fitted neckband. It is trimmed with silver fox. The frock which milady wears with this cunning cape is of white crepe. Long black velvet evening gloves complete the ensemble. © 1823, Western Newspaper Union. WINTER COSTUMES MUST FIT SNUGLY It is careful attention to the small points of style that make today's clothes smart. The fitting of dresses and coats is attaining the importance it had in the Victorian era. It is becoming more and more of an art, and any woman buying new clothes will do well to see that they are properly fitted, for the dia paraphim-bunging silhouette is an established fashion. Good corsetting is important, with the fitting of dresses and coats be coming tighter and tighter, smoother and smoother, regardless of the wearer's figure. Designers Bring Black Back as Afternoon Color The French designers are apparently pleased with the return of black—as a fashionable afternoon color. After all, it is their old favorite; they know it better than any bright color and are more aware of its possibilities and limitations than any other. This year they have shown their faivoritism for black by producing some of the best of their designs in black materials of all types. Many Scarfs Are Needed for New Color Contrasts You can't have too many scarfs this year. For instance, a wool one, a snooty affair of soft chiffon velvet, a hand-knitted trick that uses a thou sand different colors, or an ascot of silk. Any other kind will be accepted by grateful scarf collectors as necessary color contrasts for suits, coats and frocks. Crystals With Evening Gowns Favored by Paris All well-known French designers feature the lavish use of bracelets Vionnet especially sponsors bracelets with evening gowns. They usually are of crystal in various transparent colors, harmonizing or contrasting the gown A REAL MAN OF GOD THE BISHOP OF N. Y. Seldom, in recent years, has there been an Episcopal utterance, along the color-line so refreshing and heartening as that of Bishop Manning of New York, with respect to "segregation" in the Church of God. We wrote him immediately, thanking him for his help. The good bishop promptly responded: "Many thanks for your letter. I especially value this message from you." Father Howell, a white priest, Vicar of the colored congregation of St. Michael and All Angels, Philadelphia, Ming Church, Nov. 5, gives forth a telling message to "segregation." Here is his letter: "To the Editor:—Bishop Manning's position in the trouble at All Souls church, New York, is to be commanded most highly. We need more Catholic minded men like him, both bishops and priests, in the American church. For therein segregation of white and colored seems to be the order of the day, and also has been carried to the colonial possessions of these possessions never had commanded segregations, except dissenting chapels; the white and colored people worshiped together. "I was born in the West Indies of English parents, and I never heard of a colored church. My "mammay" took her communion beside my mother, and sat in the family pew. But where it is all changed; the colored people must have their own places of worship. I tried recently to get a nice dung colored woman into one of the Sisterhoods; I failed; but the coloured is by no means inferior to the white race. Given a chance and one I will find just as refined and cultured people among the dark brothems in a monochrome white folk, but they are so immoral! We taught them their morals! We white people—and not merely the "white rush" of our race, but presumably the genteel white men. "The colored race has not one single vice that is not to be found among us white people; and the most degrading of the vices of the former have been their heritage from their contact with the latter. I think Father Dodd is to be congratulated that he has such a scrap on his hands; he has a lot of guns and shoots to kill. I am thankful every day of my life, that was promoted to the cure of colored people in this city of Philadelphia I am glad to call them Brethren in the flesh as well as in the Lord. With God it is not the color of the skin that makes a man acceptable to Him; and many a white face is black, and many a colored face is white in His eyes."—The Church Advocate, Rev. F. Bragg, Jr., editor, Baltimore. 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 carlines 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 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 near the center of the public square, the center of the city, this car-line, according to an annual report of the Cleveland Railway 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. that it has been trying to get the consent of the City Council and discontinue the 16 minute service given absolutely the worst in the city. We cannot understand why the three "Negro" councilmen, at least one 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 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 have built, 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 for their constituents. --- Something Wrong!

That Important Two-Piece Suit By EMMA LOU FETTA NEW YORK CITY—Until weather requires a really warm top-cool there aren't very many women who can get along these days without a two-piece suit for it serves the dual purpose of providing the ideal cool-weather street ensemble, and a dress to be worn indoors. There are still a great many women who don't fancy themselves in a skirt and blouse—who feel much smarter in a dress than they are removed the street coat or jacket. This fail you can again have the short jacket that becomes so many of us; but at the same time you can have three-quarter and even seven-eighth length jackets, which are in themselves almost top-coats. We fancied the suit shown in the sketch at the right. Its fabric is extremely interesting—and it is a wise woman who buys with an eye to fabrics this fall. Diagonal ribs are excellent. The one sketched is a fascinating combination of worsted and durene, the latter textile giving the fabric a more luxurious touch too much liveliness to the material while actually adding to its strength and durability. Don't you think the diagonal treatment is nicely handled both in the jacket and the skirt? The top of the bodice is a plain knitted durene material which combines smartly with the whole outfit, providing contrast and interest. You like that skirt crowned, brimmed felt hat too, if you've been used to a brim again this summer. Be sure to put it down well in front over the right eve: Anecdote "GETTING Anecdotes a la Rector "GETTING THE RUN-AROUND" By GEORGE RECTOR QUITE recently I spent an interest- ing few minutes looking through a dictionary of slang We American people most certainly have a language all our own, and I think that anyone spending some time in search for the derivation of these slang expressions would have a lot of fun. I happen to know about the origin of the expression "To be given the run around" Of course, you know the phrase "to run around" is trying to stall you off by using evasive methods A few days ago I was walking up Central Park South in New York City when I bumped into an old, old house. I was in the House Sam, one of the band of night hawks operating a fleet of hammons cabs, of which there used to be 15 or 20 outside of Rector's, rain or shine It was with Gas-House Sam and his fellow operators that the expression Fairground. ```markdown ``` A stranger would get into a cab and ask to be driven to Rector's, which might be directly across the street.

The stranger was a bit nervous, "run-around" proved that a long ride is costlier than a short walk. Of course, that was no way for a stranger to be introduced to Rector's; however, I must admit that our prices were higher than the prices at the atmosphere and all sorts of frills to the food, but still the prices were high. Now that I am out of the restaurant business, I must break down and confess that the same results we encountered with less expensive foods and a little loving care.

But here is a tip. Inexpensive meats with proper preparation make dishes every bit as delicious as the others. According to my friend and co-worker, Judge Gordon, tender cuts. I the stirlin for example, cost more than the less tender cuts. The less tender cuts, like chuck steak, can be made just as appetizing as sirloin, but they require longer cooking And, because of the high sounding French name but is easy and inexpensive to prepare. **Steak Aave Les Legumes** Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Brown the steak on both sides in a little hot fat, then remove the meat to a baking dish and add one cup of cream. Bake the chili sauce, one tablespoonful grated horse radish. Cover the dish and bake the meat in a moderate oven until tender. Cover the steak with two cups of string beans and three cups of chicken broth, which have been parboiled. Bake twenty longer, basting frequently. You will pardon me if I leave you now. Just talking about this "Steak Avec Les Legumes" has whetted my appetite for this dish, so I am going home to make some for Mrs. Rector and myself.
