Radio Magician's Best Tricks In Listener's Home Picasso That venerable American institution, the Family Circle, which somehow or other got lost in the shuffle of the Jazz Era, has returned with its dents nicely hammered out. Its restoration has been traced directly to the nightly broadcasts of radio thrillers which, served up to listeners in serial form, have added hundreds of thousands of new recruits to the chair warmers' brigade. Father was a man who could take his poker straight or leave it alone—although he generally took it. Then one night while getting ready for the club, he heard installment 8564 of that chilling, thrilling radio mystery drama "Chandu the Magician." Within 15 minutes he traveled from Frisco to India and points East and back to his own whistlestop and had learned how to make elephants disappear. Now he's so deeply rooted to the chair in front of the radio waiting for Chandu to tell him how to fill a royal straight flush, that mother has to dust around him. He's found that some of the greatest "magic" that Chandu has performed was done right in his own living room. Keeping Junior and Sis quiet for fifteen whole minutes was one incredible feat. Making the cook late for her date with the cop on the corner was still another. As for Dot, the Debbie, the night that six particularly gruesome murders were committed in episode 9632, Chandu got that bashful beau of hers to propose finally. The living room lights were turned low. The sixth murder was committed with more hair-raising shrieks than a walking hamsteak makes when caught under the garden gate. Which was the cue for Dot to throw her arms around the neck of her Bashful Beau with well-feigned horror. "Lemme protect you always" said the Bashful One gallantly, rising to the occasion. And so they were married. Some magician, that boy, Chandu! THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1932.

The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Local "Negro" Democrats have sure been given the "cold shoulder" again, as far as jobs are concerned, ever since the recent election—just like it was after the city election, earlier in the year. Democratic leaders find them so "easy" before elections that you can hardly blame them for playing upon the credulity of "Negro" Democrats (so-called) anywhere. Asking Gov. George White (Dem.) to appoint a "Negro" Democrat (Norman L. McGhee or any other member of the race) to the local municipal court bench was simply AMUSING; that's all. It seems that The Rounder was in error, some weeks ago, when he announced the re-appointment of Dr. L. L. Rodgers as a city physician. It will be recalled that he was dropped from the position, many months ago, because of his threatened exposure of the rotten grafting conditions existing in his ward (12). Some weeks ago, the Miller administration announced that he was there was a vacancy, while it seems has not occurred up to date. At least that is the information conveyed to The Rounder by one of the many disappointed "Negro" Democrats (so-called). Nearly all of those promised jobs, last spring and this fall, are still waiting for them and doubtless will be when the next election rolls around, in the fall of 1933. In spite of the two disappointments, last spring and this fall, there will be "Negro" so-called, whose presence will be as easy to capture, next fall, as it was upon both occasions, the past year. The greatest showman on earth, the immortal P. T. Barnum, said, fifty years ago, that "one was born every minute." Nowadays, "one is born," it seems, every second. INTERESTING RACE HISTORY! When Wm. Pickens addressed the City Club in the Hollden Hotel, this city recently, he said: "Historians fail to say that a colored man sailed the Santa Maria when Columbus discovered this continent; that blacks came to this country to stay only 11 years after whites first came to stay; that colored soldiers were with Washington from Valley Forge to Yorktown; that 'Negroes were voting in four states the Constitution was adopted; that shortly after the Fourteenth Amendment freed the slaves there were 22 'Negro' Congressmen in Congress and that one was Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court for six years." A Symphony for Stokowski. New York City.—Wm. L. Dawson, director of the Tuskegee, Ala. choir, handed 537 sheets of music to Leopold Stokowski, Tuesday, the product of four years' labor. It was the first symphony ever composed by an Afro-American from music of the race Stokowski and his Philadelphia Orchestra will rehearse it soon. Phony No. 10, with its four movements, Thru it all will appear and reappear one central theme. The theme is melancholy, a sort of wail and hymn, slightly related to jazz in its rhythm. Coloridge Taylor Recalled. Recently the NBC station at Rochester, N. Y., radioed a beautiful instrumental selection by S. Coleridge Taylor, the Afro-English composer and director (deceased). It was "The Suite of Nancie" from his "Petit Suite de Concert." SCOTT'S $50,000 SUIT. Against DuBois Dropped After an Apology Is Made by the Professor. New York City—Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Prof. Wm. E. DuBois, erst-willegitates in a suit filed by Scott for $50,000 against DuBois, editor of The Crisis, have decided to return to Dr. Emmett J. Scott. normal. It is said that DuBois apologized in the January issue of the magazine and that this is all that Scott wanted in the matter. The apology was accepted as an admission that the statements, carried in the objectionable Crisis article, were not true, and it was the falsity of the statements made that caused Scott to enter the debate. The public generally will be pleased to note that these leaders in our group have found a way to adjust their difference. If the suit had gone to trial the testimony would have involved others, and the relations of several of our prominent individuals would have been strained, perhaps to the breaking point. It was this angle of the case, brought to the attention of the gentlemen by mutual friends, it is said, that prompted the amicable settlement of the situation. "I am more valuable than money," is the only statement Scott is reported to have made as he ordered his attorneys to withdraw the suit. WAS SACRIFICE IN VAIN? Editor The News:—After 67 years the descendants of the Confederacy (rebels) dedicated a cemetery to their prisoners of war on Union soil, where they were killed, and which they struggled, slavery and secession, was lost, noble and right Future children will look upon this age as one of colossal stupidity, and will ask many questions. They will ask what was in the hearts of the descendants of those who struggled at Gettysburg when the recent dedication was in progress? Was their sacrifice, after all the vain one? Was Lincoln wrong when he said that secession was not wrong, nothing is wrong? Before his undiminishing greatness they will stand agasthet that a people given such leadership should stray so far. Recently, while in Washington, I passed the Lincoln memorial several times, each time moved by the great presence; each time asking the question: "How many centuries yet before his ideals will mold and influence the conduct of the American people?" The recent dedication at Johnson's salute indicates that it continues to retell its Ann P. Heffron. American Whites, "Suckers." "The French have long rated American gullibility and extravagance high, our capacity for indignation, very low," says a New Orleans Daily Item editorial: "Multing our tourists in France has continued highly profitable long after most of us have become aware that proteiferie is a denet in the French philosophy of homosexuality. The American barbarian. The French can draw no other moral than that we love to play the sucker." Where O, Where Is Roscoe & Co.3 Since election we have not heard a word from Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons and his one hundred "Negro" Hooverites. They sure "took to the woods," promptly, after Nov. 8, "32 and apparently have "pulled the woods in after them." The matinee dance, advertised to have been given at the Ritz ballroom, Euclid Ave, and E. 37th St., Monday, was changed, that day, to the Eagles ballroom. Because this dance was advertised to be held at the Ritz a large number attended, some being turned away at Eagles hall. Geo W. Turpin claims he was employed only to advertise the dance by a man named Zucker who, up to Wednesday 4 p. m., had not paid him for his work. He also says that the use of the Ritz was refused because a bad check had been given its management for rental. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OHIO, LIKE MANY OTHER STATES OF THE UNION, MAKES A GOOD SHOWING. Ten States Report Net Sales in Excess of Four Million Dollars at the End of a Year, According to the U. S. Census. Bv Charles E. Hall. Washington, D. C. — Concrete evidence of our progress in trade in the U. S. is indicated in a report compiled, but not yet printed, by the Division of Distribution U. S. Bureau of the Census. With 25,701 retail stores provided by Afro-American proprietors whose stocks on hand at the end of the year (1929) were valued at $10,557,000; whose net sales during the year amounted to $101,146,043; whose full-time employees numbered 12,561; and whose total payroll for the year amounted to $8,528,306. it appears that an appreciable headway is being made, at least in small trade, by our business men. In Ohio we had 790 stores, the net sales of which totaled $4,411,775. Statist Reporting Net Sales Amount No. of State Stores Net Sales Texas 1,736 $6,633,295 Pennsylvania 1,326 $6,511,865 Illinois 1,056 $6,466,232 Carolina 1,097 $5,770,830 New York 611 $6,525,743 Georgia 2,099 $5,147,040 Virginia 1,878 $4,986,347 Florida 1,378 $4,528,374 Louisiana 1,668 $4,504,809 Ohio 790 $4,111,775 Every state reported one or more Negro owned retail stores. Georgia occupied first rank with 2,099, followed by North Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Louisiana. Annual payrolls in each of the four states, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas and New York were in excess of a half million dollars; and in seven states, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, New York and Georgia, in the order named, the combined cost value of stocks on hand at the end of the year amounted to $4,677,290. Including the District of Columbia each of twenty-seven states reported net sales in excess of one million dollars, and six states including Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Carolina, New York and Georgia, reported net sales ranging from $1,547,140 in Georgia to $6,633,701 in Texas. In Virginia, Florida, Louisiana and Ohio the sales exceeded $4,000,000 but were less than five million. Five states, in the order named, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri were in the three million dollar or over class. Oklahoma, New Jersey, California, Arkansas, South Carolina, Kentucky and Indiana were in the two million dollar class with net sales ranging from $1,677,144 to $2,833,144 in Oklahoma. The million but less than two million dollar states were Maryland, District of Columbia, Kansas, West Virginia and Massachusetts. Only two other states, Minnesota and Iowa, reported net sales amounting to as much as one-half million dollars. The average sales in these 25,701 stores amounted to $3,935 per year. In several states, however, the averages ranged from $10,000 to $25,000. Kind of Business. Stores dealing in food supplies numbered 10,755 or approximately 42 per cent of the total. There were 6,248 grocery stores (without meat); 2,202 combination stores (groceries and meats); 761 grocery stores with dry goods, apparel, etc.; 1,137 candy and meat kets (including seafood) and 631 other food stores. There were 7,918 restaurants and eating places, including lunch counters, refreshment stands, etc. In the automotive group there were 39 motor vehicle dealers; 799 filling stations, 732 garages and repair shops; 90 other automobile establishments controlled and operated by Negroes. Under the general merchandise group classification which includes dry goods, variety, 5 and 10 and to-dollar, there were 128 stores operated by Negro proprietors, while 477 other proprietors handled wearing apparel for men, women and children. Furniture, household appliances, and radio and music stores were conducted by 149 of our business men, and in the lumber and building material group there were 96 dealers. Drug stores numbered 712; cigar stores and stands 704; coal, wood and ice dealers 549; farmers' supplies 107; jewelry stores 67; hardware and farm implement stores 51; and miscellaneous 1,175. A comparison of this data with the findings for the census of 1920, shows that the ten-year period there was an increase of 2.175 Negro retail dealers in the United States and that very substantial increases occurred in the Northern states whose large gains in population are attributed to the migration from the THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compiled with any wife with intellectibly of the NEWEST ANI 1457 published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

Up to November there were 37 persons lynch-murdered in this country in 1932, it is claimed. Mayor Frank Murphy of Detroit has promised to put Eddy Tolan "on the city pay-roll and make a job for him." Sheriff-Elect Thos. R. Madden (Dem.) of St. Louis appointed deputies 7 Afro-Americans, making good his campaign promises. Jos. Paul-Boncour, the new premier of France, has re-appointed M. Candace, a fine looking black Frenchman, an undersecretary of state. A. S. Frissell (white), brother of the head of Hampton, Va. Institute, years ago, died, Dec. 19, in N. Y. City. He was chairman of the board of the Fifth Ave. Bank. "The Birth (Rape) of a Nation" at the Cinema theater, absolutely the worst picture ever made, was forced out of Chicago last week Wednesday, after a run of four days. Atty. Frank E. Summers, a graduate of Harvard Law school, has been appointed an assistant in the legal department of E. St. Louis, III. He is a candidate for judge of the city court. Father Innocence Shashi, a newly-ordained native Catholic priest of Tanganyika, Africa, recently, gave his blessing to Father Veckemans (white) who baptised him in 1914. The picture shows the latter kneeling before the former. U. S. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah was responsible for the delay in the adoption of a resolution, last week, introduced by Senator Warnall of N. Y. State, calling for a senate investigation of the miserable "cracker" Mississippi flood control. "Shuffle Along" was revived, this holiday week, at the Mansfield theater on Broadway in New York City. Sissle, Miller and Blake, three of the big four of the company, and 102 other persons are in the cast. Aubrey Lyles, the fourth member of the big four, died, several months ago. The amendment of Congressman Oscar DePriest, our only representative in Congress, to the Interior Department supply, passed the measure Tuesday. The measure asks for an appropriation of $460,000 to supply Howard University with a new heating plant. He caused the passage of the bill to be delayed 24 hours because of the absence of his amendment from the bill. THE CHRISTIANITY STORY THE WEEK PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. $25,000 in Ohio. 75,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1932. Robert W. Bagnall, former rector of St. Andrews P. E. church, this city, and for some years an assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., will lose his job, tomorrow, Jan. 1, 1933. The organization is retrenching and ought to reduce the salaries of all its national officers about fifty per cent. AN O. S. U. COLOR-LINE. The editor of The Gazette is in receipt of the correspondence that passed between the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, state representative - elect; Wilhelmina J. Styles, a graduate of O. S. U., and President George W. Rightmire of Ohio's State University relative to race discrimination at that state-supported institution of learning. It seems that, because of her color or race, or both, Miss Styles, who graduated from the university, last June, was not permitted to train in the regular Home Economics building, and that a Miss Lindquist, head of the Home Management department, has made the statement that "as long as she stayed at Ohio State University, there shall never be a colored girl live in the Home Management house for the reason of color and tradition." A Miss Lanman, director of the School of Economics, did not permit Miss Styles to train in the Home Economics building, doubtless for the same reasons. All this in face of the fact that Miss Styles' class associates told her that there was no objection on their part. It also seems that a Miss Doris Wear, who is attending the university, is encountering the same troubles. Miss Lindquist and Miss Lanman MUST GO because the former's statements, clearly endorsed by the latter, in the position she maintains, is all the evidence necessary to show and prove that Ohio is not a proper place of residence and work for them. Their place is in the "jim-crow," disfranchising and lynch-murder states of the South. There is where that sort of thing is popular and the vogue. Here in Ohio the opposite is true. Furthermore, this state has at least one law, that is our Ohio Civil Rights law, that prohibits just such discrimination in all public places and institutions, especially its own. We are mailing President Rightmire, Miss Lindquist and Miss Lanman, today, a marked copy of "The Old Reliable" Gazette containing our Ohio Civil Rights law, that they may familiarize themselves with it. In writing President Rightmire, Atty. Gillespie, who will be sworn in as a member of the State House of Representatives, Monday, Jan. 2, 1933, said, among other things: "Before referring this matter to the legislature in January, I would like if possible to get an expression from you. In other words, I would like to know whether or not Miss Weaver will be permitted immediately to train in the Home Economics building and live in the Home Management house, and whether or not the building and the house will be open always in the future to Afro-American students?" To this President Rightmire replied promptly as follows: Columbus, Dec. 20, 1932. Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, Attorney-at-Law, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Gillespie: I have read with interest your letter of Dec. 19. When you come to Columbus, I shall be very much pleased if you will find it convenient to come to the university. At that time it will be very pleasing to talk with you about the activities of the institution and its programs and the manner in which it has been serving the people of Ohio. I trust you will find your legislative experience a most stimulating and profitable one. With greetings from the university and kindest personal' regards, Sincerely, (Signed) George W. Rightmire, President. President Rightmire's letter is evasive and not a satisfactory reply to Atty. Gillespie's. Further com- ment The Gazette prefers to hold in abeyance, awaiting the Gillespie-Rightmire conference at the university, next week, for the former will undoubtedly call upon the latter promptly upon his arrival in Columbus. Under Ohio law there is only one thing for the president of the university to do, if he desires to remain at the head of this state's leading institution of learning, and that is to open wide that building and house to Afro-American students of the university in common with all other students of the institution. In plain words, comply with the Civil Rights and other laws of Ohio. For the information of our readers we append the following communication which is self-explanatory and very illuminating: Cleveland, O, Sept. 8, '32. To Atty - Chester K. Gillespie. To Atty. Chester K. Gillespie, Racial Discrimination at O. S. U. in School of Home Economics. The Situation: All students except those who are training for institutional management are required to live in the Home Management House (Grace Graham Walker House) at the end of four years college training in home economics. That is, all students enrolled in the College of Agriculture. They live in the house for a period of six weeks. There are twelve weeks in a quarter; there are two residences, so 24 girls are taken care of in a quarter. I made application for residence in this house in May, 1931, one year prior to taking up residence in the home. December of 1931 I was informed by Miss Lindquist, head of the Home Management department, that I could not live in the house "for the reason of color and tradition," so I was to have to take my work in a home off campus. Miss Lindquist made the statement, "that as long as she stayed at Ohio State University there shall never be a colored girl live in the Home Management House." Miss Lannan, director of the School of Home Economics, early in the controversy gave the excuse that the house was crowded for the quarter, although about April 1st (1932) two vacancies occurred in the last six weeks' enrollment. Since this time the house was filled into the house, which was April 21st a little difficult to find girls; because that meant extra money and leaving a room which arrangements had already been made for by the girls. Girls to fill vacancies were finally found before the seventh, but one girl, Miss Sarah DeWels, was given the opportunity to live in the house for practice before taking the theory course that is required to be mastered or concurrently with the practice work. Respectfully submitted. In the last two years we have had proof of the existence of a "gentlemen's agreement," among northern medical schools and medical departments of the larger institutions of learning, which limits Jewish students to approximately a half-dozen. We had personal experience within the year of the existence of such an agreement. But we did not know that there was an institution of learning in the state of Ohio, supported by tax-payers, that had the brazen afrontier to do to Afro-Americans what is apparently being done to them at Ohio State University. Therefore, we shall await, as patiently as possible, for the outcome of the Gillespie-Rightmire conference at Columbus, next week. Our Representative-elect can depend upon the united support of our people of the state of Ohio in the effort he is making to "clarify the atmosphere" at O. S. U. AN OPPORTUNITY! "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some money. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus Busol, Toledo, Steubenville, Zaneville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Plum, Lima, and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave, Cleveland, O, and terms will be promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending us the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Editor. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide the law disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1932 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT 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 other states have enacted mob-violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. 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. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 1.) 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 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 as damages from the county in which such manent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6232. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the kin according to the laws of the distribution of the property 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 as one purposely injured or killed by a court of law under § 167.1 of Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such recovery shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. That falls asunder at the of fire. He finds his fellow gut a skim Not colored like his own having power To enforce the wrong, for a cruel house Dooms and devotes him lawful prey.

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 mob was guilty, negligence 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, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, willfulness 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. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULLEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flare. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: "Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. --- WHILE A GINK, BY THE NAME OF APPENDIX MSCLOUD, SAT ALONE EVERY NIGHT FOR HE HATED A CROWD THE GLORY OF WOMAN LIES IN HER HAIR..

Schmeling's action in signing for a June match with Max Baer convinced the corporation Sharkey was right when he claimed Schmeling quit in their first fight. "Now we know that the injury is suffering from the same malady which affected Dempsey when Harry Tunney was dominated and bothored Tunney when Scharkey cropped up," Johnston said.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. ANCIENT places of worship with several hundred drawings engraved on rocks in the style of from 9000 to 4000 B. C., were uncovered recently by a German scientific expedition in the Fezzan district of Italian Libia. Frequent reports of discovery of historic relics indicate that the Italian colony is becoming more and more a great archeological workshop. Early this year, the pages of history were turned back far into the pre-Christian era at Cirene. Founded by Greek refugees from islands of the Aegean sea about 2,000 years ago, Cirene was born a humble settlement, unaware that in a century or two it was to rise to a city of power, the commands of whose rulers would be felt beyond the borders of Cremena. Cirene once had a population of 100,000. From the ranks of its inhabitants came artists, poets, writers and philosophers who drew intellectual men from many parts of the civilized world of its time. Its medical school was famous; its buildings were architectural gems. It was called "The Athens of Libla." Though culture saturated Cirene, the city never lacked men with an eye for business. Caravan merchants found Cirene a market for their goods; they also found the city a meeting place to exchange commodities with other "foreigners." Then sea trade beckoned to Cirene. A port town rose on the Mediterranean and a road was built to the city 17 miles inland. Both land and sea trade flourished when the port was opened. With new revenues, Cirene, which was already a city of magnificence, continued its costly building. But progress was not to be perpetual. About two centuries after the first settlers arrived on the Cirene plateau, the dynasty that had led the city through an era of progress fell, and a republic was set up. The republic's path was strewn with tyrants, while nature added frequent severe earthquakes that threatened the city's foundations. In 96 B. C. Rome took over the government. Cirene basked in glory among ancient cities nearly a thousand years, but nearly as quickly as it rose, a gem of ancient art, it fell into ruins. A dominant city became dominated. In the Fourth century A. D. it was left to the elements. By the Fifth century, Cirene was in ruins. Largest Italian Colony. Italian Libia is the largest of Italy's colonies. Five Italian "boots" could be placed on its map and not cover it completely. It was once divided into three parts—Tripolitania, Cirenalica, and the portion of the Libian desert. Old Roman writers described Tripolitania as extremely fertile. Perhaps they exaggerated, and perhaps also the climate and physical conditions have changed markedly. At any rate most of the country is now desert with its fertile strips and oases scattered in the wastes of sand and stones. There is much evidence that the region once knew better days climatically. Great avenues of stones set on end and numerous circles of monoliths and trithillons, like the famous Stonehenge of England, testify to a neolithic culture of importance in this section of North Africa, perhaps many thousands of years before Memphis and Babylon were thought of. The Phoenicians began the recorded history of the country by establishing cities there, perhaps as early as 1500 B. C. The fact that these cities and their surrounding country throne them, and that later Greek and Roman culture flourished there, indicates that the country was more favored than now. Sand dunes have encroached through the centuries on much land in the fertile strip along the Mediterranean coast. But the relatively poor condition of Tripolitania today is largely due to sociological and governmental factors. The commercial Phoenicians and the colonizing Greeks and Romans were able to make the most of the country. Since the region was overrun by the Arabs in 644 A. D., and since it passed under Turkish control later, it has been marked to a considerable extent by economic and cultural stagnation. In places along the 1,000-mile coast of Tripolitania the arid sands come down to the water's edge, but between are fertile areas on which palms, olives, gis, oranges and other fruits flourish. Farther inland among the highlands occur some rather large patches on which olives and fruits and grain are grown. Then come the vast desert stretches. The city of Tripoll has been called "the gateway to the Sahara." Three historic desert caravan routes have converged there for ages: the trail from Timbuktu, that from Lake Chad, and a southeastern route from the region of the Egyptian Sudan. These routes were of great importance for the bringing from central Africa of ivory, ostrich feathers, gold dust, and perhaps most valuable of all in a primitive environment, "black gold"—negro slaves. This traffic was ostensibly abolished by Turkey only in recent years. Cirenaica Has Promise. Crenalena, situated on a bold promontory protruding into the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, is a dry, patched land with scarcely a stream or creek. A shelf of limestone hills, resembling a gigantic backbone, but hardly justifying the Arab epithet "Green Mountains," stretches across the base of the foreland. Between this ridge and the blue sea a fringe of fertile fields 60 to 70 miles wide, lying dormant for centuries, now teems with Italian colonists and migrating Arabs. With the help of modern irrigation methods it is hoped this region will merit its historical nickname, "bread basket of Rome." Visitors to Crenalena usually sail from Brindisi on steamers laden to capacity with Italian officers and their families bound for Bengasi, the principal seaport and capital. Because of a rock bottom which prevents dredging in the mole-inclined harbor, passengers disembark into small boats which bob precariously on the swell characteristic of these coastal waters. First impression of Bengasi is of a bit of Europe transplanted. Since 1911 when Cirenciaa was occupied by the Italians a new town on modern lines has been built alongside the old Arab section. Wide avenues shaded by date palms and lined with neat houses patterned after Moorish architecture border a public park planted with imported tropical plants and shrubs. Donkeys carrying nondescript loads, from hooded Arabs to bundles of firewood larger than themselves and camels "pad padding" along, vie with motorcycles and automobiles for right of way. Lovely, dark-hued debutantes fresh from Rome and Paris and proud army officers resplendent in the white tropical uniforms of Italy stroll along wide sidewalks in striking contrast to slow-moving burnnoosed Arabs, scurrying red-fezed boys and veiled, Moslem women ornamented with gold colns. Fine Sponges Found There. Fine Sponges Found There. From time immemorial sponge and tunny fishing have been the chief industries along the coast of Cirencia. Greek divers swim down, holding a rock, pluck a sponge from the bottom and then upon releasing the weigh, float to the surface. The Cirenican variety being especially fine, it is sometimes transplanted to other parts of the Mediterranean. In ancient days, it is said, sponges were put in Greek helmets as "shock absorbers" for the warriors. The principal agricultural and food crop is barley, quantities of which are exported to the motherland and Scotland. Hena, olives, vegetables, fruit grapes are raised in the more fertile regions while dates, figs and skins brought in by caravans from the South are shipped to Italy, the last to be made into gloves and shoes. A map-minded person might describe the Libian desert as "the largest blank area on the map of north Africa with a cartographer's smallest marks indicating a few oases." It is shut off from the Mediterranean by a narrow populated strip which itself sizzles in the hot African sun. On the east the fertile Nile valley lends the Libian owners moral support by showing what might be done with their sand-sand land. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O..

The idea of the sleeve made of fur come such an all-around proposition it embraces both daytime and evening modes. By way of convincing argument in favor of sleeves which make fur their media we present in the illustration a trio of smart costumes for a winter holiday: an evening wrap, a formal frock and a daytime coat each of which pridefully boasts sleeves styled of fur. The regal looking full length evening coat of black velvet interprets the new fashion via a shirred cape effect which develops sleeves of exquisite ermine which start just above the elbow. There are more lessons than one as to what constitutes good style to be gained from this model. First, the continued outstanding importance of velvet for the making of the formal wrap is here emphasized. Also the fact that this coat is floor-length is significant, for sweeping long coats, most often of velvet, provided a foremost fashion at the premiere events which marked the opening of the present social season. Then the shirred handling of the cape effect as it accents a high bustline is a style point to be taken into consideration, for the abundance of shirring employed is one of the features highlighted in costume design this season. And again the fact that the black-and-white note is stressed tells its own story as the continued favor for this combination. LARGE MONOGRAMS ADORN 'KERCHIEFS Handkerchiefs of fine French linen embroidered with mammoth monograms are vogue in Paris now. The monogram takes up practically a fourth of the entire 'kerchief, and if done in color, two shades of the same are used, the central letter slightly darker than the two on each side. If only two letters are used, they should both be dark with the curlicues around about them in a lighter shade. Another novelty hanky comes from one of the big shops in the Grand Boulevards and is of white chiffon printed with the map of France, Great Britain, Spain, Italy or South America. These are extremely colorful bits of feminine finery. Choose Becoming Hats; Tip Them as Yo Paris hats this season show a vast amount of imagination. They do not run true to a set formula nearly as much out there in past years, but break out the all sorts of tricks. They are worn absolutely straight on the head, low over the eyes, or tipped at a mad angle, set firmly down onto the head, or shallow, perched dangerously. They dip deep into the back of the neck or are pulled to the front (this most frequently). Trimming is either straight in front, shadowing the eyes, or high in the back. It's a grand time for you to indulge in just the sort of hat you think does the most for you and be perfectly in the picture whether you like your crowns square or pancaked, your brims rolling or straight. Simplest Costume Is the The Paris dressmakers have learned at least one important lesson this year, that the simplest costume is often after all, the smartest one. In previous seasons more than one designer has fallen by the wayside in an extreme effort to be different, when the most obvious and simplest type of dress would have made him into a success—a process in the making and planning and wearing of clothes which is repeated at least once in the life of every woman who plans to own clothes. As to the evening gown in the picture, its coloring in the original is so lovely, mere black and white print can come near to conveying its real charm. The transparent velvet of which it is made is in the new hyacinth blue which is most fascinating. The gray of the chinchilla fur which forms the youthful looking puffed sleeves together with the blue of the velvet produce an intriguing color study. The slender silhouette and the very high waistline which is lower in the back, are noteworthy style details. A climax in fashion thrills is reached in the jewelry which this modish debentate is wearing with her fur-sleeved gown, for her bracelet and neckline are also of velvet. That is, they are of velvet cording, a late Paris fancy by the way. A pendant of pearls hangs from her velvet cord necklace and a pearl clasp centers the bracelet. Of course you have already taken mental note of the handsome cloth and fur coat pictured in the foreground of the illustration. It goes to show how very effective sleeves which make fur their medium can be. The material for this striking street coat is a quality-kind gray velvet woolen with gray knimmer for the sleeves and scarf collar. Gray is a very important color this season. © 1922, Western Newspaper Union. FUR ENSEMBLE By CHERIE NICHOLAS Just one such curt ensemble as this and the woman of fashion is provided with an accessory set which will make her the envy of her less fortunate neighbors. It is so designed as to be worn over the collarless, likewise furless, cloth coat or it may top milady's newest cloth suit or it will pose smartly over a one-piece wooden street dress. These instances are only part of its program. With her sealskin or beaver or moleskin coat, the happy possessor of this charming set, which we almost forgot to tell you is of brown shaved lambskin, wears simply the hat and the muff thus offering a pleasing diversion. This is a season when separate fur pieces are being featured with an enthusiasm which is increasingly manifest as autumn and winter fashions become definitely established. Gilet Can Be Worn With Any Costume This Winter A gilet or vestee may mean al- most anything this season. It can go on outside the dress and look like a very short waistcoat effect with a belt above the waistline, as Schiaparelli's does. Or it can go inside, as you're used to, and look like a man's shirt front with narrow bow tie, as Cha- nel's gilet does. Whatever kind you select, they're fine accessories to trim up most any tailored dress. 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 noble stand. The good bishop promptly responded: "Many thanks for your letter. I especially value this message from you." Father Howell, a white priest, Visar of the colored congregation of St Michael and All Angels, Philadelphia, in the "Living Church," Nov. 5, gives forth a telling blow to American "segregation." Here is his letter: "To the Editor:—Bishop Manning's position in the trouble at All Souls church, New York, is to be commended 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 potential possessions of the United States. Formerly, these possessions never had colored congregations, 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 me communion beside my mother, and sat in the family pew. But wherever the American flag flies today that is all changed; the colored people must have their own places of worship. I tried recently to get a nice young colored woman into one of the Sisterhoods; I failed; but the colored is by no means inferior to the white race. Given a chance and one will find just as refined and cultured people to be found among the white folk. But they are so immoral! We taught them their morals! We white people—and not merely the "white trash" 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 congregated that he such a scarcity in his life and I sincerely hope that he sticks to his guns and shoots to kill. I am thankful every day of my life, that I 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 makes a man acceptable to him; and man makes a colorful face is black; many a colored face is white in His eyes."—The Church Advocate, Rev Geo. F. Bragg, Jr., editor, Baltimore, Md. HOUSING PLAN CAN'T SUCCEED! An Economist Says Prevailing 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 fall under present conditions, is the opinion of Allen J. Wilson, Cleveland real estate operator and economist, who has made an intensive study of the question. There are fundamentals to the question. There are fundamentals to 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 entire situation in Wilson's opinion, but any one of the other 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 $5 a month per room." Wilson said, "and it is here that the trouble lies." Cites Interest. Taxes. In pointing out why 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 the 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 month, which mean he would have to get $25 more room, from the tenant to keep even with the interest. Under the present rate of taxation in the county, the builder would have another fixed charge of not less than $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 there is an expenditure of $465 annually, on a per month, bringing the room cost to $8 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 $8 net, not including depreciation, insurance, administration and upkeep." Radio Broadcasts Found To Supplement School Education NORTH ANTI OCEAN "Chandu the Magician," gripping radio thriller which is broadcast nightly, in nowhere except in supplementary school libraries. The radio contributes the radio education "Thrill School" of the Air Puts Sleuth In Every Home COLOR LINE IN RELIGION. 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 church-union between the North and the South, in any of the Protestant denominations, can only be consumed by the threat of hypocritical southernness. 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 cussed wickedness.

It was found that programs maintaining a serial continuity such as the nightly radio broadcast of "Chandu the Magician" are especially valuable in the "supplementary school" where occur often enough to form a routine listening habit "Thrill School Puts Sleuth In The radio detective mystery drama—thrill school of the air, has placed an amateur sleuth in every home and a figurative magnifying glass in every hand. Coffee boils unheeded over the stove while amateur sleuths listen with bated breath to the awe-inspiring voice of the Shadow and raise imaginary guns to shoot down the desperadoes who are making off with the hysterical maiden. Dishes remain unwashed in the sink while housewives listen to the denouement of the latest radio thriller and sell the iceman and the grocery boy just how they, them- selves would have gone about solv- ing their troubles. A simple twist of a radio dial has developed a nation of amateur sleuths. The modern broadcasting station has taken the place of the correspondence detective school in all but one particular—that of issuing a handsome embossed diploma and a letterhead in badge boldly proclaiming "Sleuth." If all this sounds like an overstatement, you have but to wade through some of the thousands of letters received at police headquarters, particularly after a mystifying crime has been committed. From Busted Forks, Ariz., to Two Pants, Vt., thousands of radio-recorded messages in well-meant voice to the ones to how to go about their detecting. The broadcasting stations, particularly the larger ones have developed a method of their own in handling the mystery thriller. It is a method calculated to raise the air right off the tope of the head and give it to the detective without the of the genuine detective—without any of the nervils. One of the most popular programs on this form of entertainment is the Shadow feature of the Blue Coal Radic Hour which is broadcast every Wednesday evening over the N B C network. The slamming of doors, the rattle of chains, the swift interchange of shots and the ensuing groans, all part and parcel of the Edgar Wallace detective mystery provide greater thrills when heard over the grit when than After Read bscribe after ed 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 one hundred years behind in all things progressive and humane, and 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 equals and the much-heralded opinion that Negroes are seeking "social equality" with whites, reds, yellows or what not, is without foundation. Too many of some of these groups have maintained intimate social equality with us already and we sometime think their apparent horror at social inequality is nothing more than a disguise of their own prejudice behaviour. It is no compliment to anybody to have a close union with rabid sectionalists. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. casts Found To school Education a radio thriller which is broadcast course in the "supplementary school to fan's education on the part of radio listeners. on the part of radio insurers. As a result of a survey made in New York schools in connection with the "Chandu" radio broadcasts, the sponsors of the program found that interest was stimulated in Egyptian History, geography, psychic research, magic, diction and Oriental music, the popularity of each subject being in the order named. "This finding," states Vera M. Oldham, writer of the "Chandu" continuity, "demonstrates graphically the accuracy which is necessary in a program of this character as well as the tremendous amount of preparatory research that was vital before it could be written." P read in the cold type of the printed book. When a Shadow program goes on the air, the broadcasting studio is an orderly jumble of musicians and sound effects, the latter ranging from a drum like contrivance to simulate machine gun bullets, to an actual door set in a frame and mounted on wheels so that it may readily be rolled to the mike when the script says "Slam door!" Unusual musical instruments are frequently called for in mystery dances to supply the ward, every noises that cause a slight tremor to run along the amateur sleuth's spine . . . especially if he happens to be home alone, at the time. Ross Gorman, the musician who originated the heart thumping run in the Rhapsody in Blue for Paul Whiteman, plays the quavering octavin, the brusque hecklephone, the penetrating tera cotta and the uncanny rothphone on the Shadow program, creating an atmosphere which places the imaginative amateur in the real world, joss house or tracking his quarry through a Limehouse fog, depending upon the desired locale. ling It Reading It
