SHALL never forget the constatation written on the face of my chef at Rector's on Broadway when I walked into the kitchen late one night and caught him eating-Hungarian Goulash! There he was, polished above two bowls, dipping a wooden idle in the Goulash and in a crisp Chef's Salad—and imagine—all around him were epicurean delights which he had spurred for the lowly (but mighty delicious) Goulash and Salad. Later he told me that Chef all over the world seem to enjoy these two things in common—and that

By the way, I think that you will
be interested in this Chef's Salad.
First, you get a large salad bowl and
bowl of dressing. Yes, I know how you feel about garlic. But a very slight taste of it will add considerably to the flavor of the salad. Grate or cut a head of lettuce into pieces. Add two bunches of watercress carefully trimmed.
Use a knife to cut radishes thinly sliced, several stalks of celery cut in thin strips, and two finely chopped hard-cooked eggs. Pour French dressing over the salad and toss with a wooden fork and spoon until the vegetables are well atered with the dressing. Then dressing be careful! Use no more dressing can be taken up by the vegetables.

proper care, as I learned in my restaurant. We always washed and trimmed green vegetables, for to fill a refrigerator with carrot tops, celery leaves, and coarse salt, that is to discarded later is only wasting space and refrigeration.
Greens will keep fresh and crisp if they are placed in a covered container or if wrapped up. Remember after they need moisture added to them after a day or two.
In the preparation of the Chef's Salad above please remember this: While moisture is essential in keeping green vegetables, it is ruinous to a salad. Before putting greens the salad box is removed, so that the dressing will cling to the bottom of the bowl.

CONTROL OF BIRTHS
Advocated by a Local Physician—His Reasons Given—A Coolidge Tribute.
"Birth control instruction" is vitally essential for the social, physical and economic advancement of the race," Dr. Chas. H. Garvin said, Sunday afternoon, at St. James' forum on the subject of "Birth Control."
"In what racial group can one find more fundamental reasons for selective and limited parenthood than in the Afro-American?" Dr. Garvin asked. "He lives under the glaring inequality of opportunity and environment, with the inevitable accompaniment of hardship."
Dr. Garvin figures to show that infant mortality among our people was disproportionately high. The forum members paid tribute to the memory of Calvin Coolidge by standing for one minute in silent prayer
THE FISK CHOIR
REALLY GREAT!
Testimony to This Effect From One
of New York City's
Leading Men.
Final plans for the tour, which will bring the Fisk University Choir to Severance hall, Monday evening, were completed, this week, by Mr. Paul Cravath, president of the Metropolitan Opera board of N. Y. City. Mr. Cravath is chairman of the Fisk sponsoring committee. He says he has been listening to Fisk students sing all his life—he has heard them in every form of great choral music—oratorios, folk-songs of all nations, madrigals, medieval church music, and their own deepest spirituals. They have sung them all with the same sincerity and fervor. He has always felt that these Fisk students, who sing because they love it, have something the world should hear. Mr. Cravath thinks the choir is, at last, ready to appear solely on their merits as a great musical organization.
SHE ANNOINTED THE ROBBERS?
For Whom She Is Said to Have Purchased Revolvers—Read a Psalm.
Assistant County Prosecutor Norman S. Minor announced, last week Thursday, that an indictment had been returned by the county grand jury, charging Mrs. Rose Brown, wife of Athay Brown, now under sentence of death for the murder of Mrs. Lawrence Holt, with aiding and abetting

Evidence presented to the grand
jury. "Minor said, "tended to show
that Mrs. Brown was active in the
robber band with which her husband
and four or five desperate criminals
were associated. She selected the
places to be robbed, looked over the
situation before the robbery and
bought revolvers for the band, according to information police have
obtained. On the night before a robbery she annotated the bodies of the robbers with oil as a charm against bullets and fed them. She then brought good luck. Before they went out, she read a psalm from the Bible to them so that the police could not harm them."
The Standard gas station was held up on the night of June 22.
DID HE REVOLT?
In January "Opportunity," Hendrik W. Van Loon, well known author, writes on "The Wondrous World and the Child." Mrs. Pearl S. Buck, 1932 Pulitzer prize-winner, contributes an article taken from her address on "Race." Alain Locke writes brilliantly on "Literature of the Afro-American for 1932" in an article captioned "Black Truth and Black Beauty." "New Educational Procedures for a New World," is the title of Arthur R. Fauset's pertaining criticism of the educational methods of today. The cover is by J. W.

FLEMING PAROLED.
Timely Action at Last—A Model Prisoner—Happy to Be Home—Still Insists He Is Innocent.
The announcement, last week Thursday evening, of the parole of former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, came as a great the pleasing surprise and aroused considerable curiosity as to how it was brot about. It surely was unexpected, except by the few persons directly interested. Fleming, who went to prison in October, 1930, was serving a sentence of two years and nine months to ten years. He has maintained from the very beginning that he was innocent
Thomas W. Fleming.
of the charge, and many believe he was "framed." A parole does not restore citizenship. That fact makes uncertain whether or not he will practice law again, even if he has not been disbarred as announced months ago. Tom says it is uncertain whether he will again enter politics and praises the O. P. warden, Preston E. Thomas, and other officials of the institution for good treatment. Mr. Thomas says it will be necessary to wait until the parole has expired, probably a year, before he can start to again citizenship. Application for the restoration of citizenship must be made to the governor. In cases where a former convict does not violate his parole the penitentiary recommends the expiration of citizenship after the expiration of the parole. Warden Thomas also said Fleming had been a model prisoner, and had been "a great influence for good among the other prisoners."
"He has had a steadying influence and gave the men good sound advice," the warden said. "He was very popular and was always pleasant and good natured and liked to laugh and talk with the prisoners, who every day impressed him." Tom was employed in the woolen mills the first ten weeks of his imprisonment and then was given an honor job outside the walls and a bunk in the dorsitory, to which he returned every afternoon at 4. At the trial, the state contended that Oehme approached Fleming, as chairman of the City Council of the City Council instead of as his attorney which Tom was and had been for many months, and requested his aid in collecting a bill of $1,740 for medical and hospital services following his injury, and later sought Tom's help in obtaining payment for his services, which he was convicted of having accepted a bribe of $200 in connection with this latter transaction.
Glad to Get Home.
"Gosh, Cleveland looked good, although I almost cried when I saw the condition of the pavement on Central Ave.," Tom said, on his return to the city, last week. "The city certainly let that street run down. I don't know what I'm going to do except that I've got to get to work and make some money to support my wife, who has been so good to me. I haven't any bitterness. I slept good, every night, while I was away because my conscience was clear. I'll sleep good here, too, and meet my friends with a clear conscience. I say now, as I said when I was convicted, that I am innocent of what I was charged. I still believe that I was prosecuted, but I didn't deserve and it's over with. I just want to get back in my life again as the nothing happened. More Democratic votes were cast in the 11th ward in the last election than ever before in its history." Fleming said. Nearly all of them were Italian and Jewish-American votes. There were not many "Negro" Democratic votes.
The suit for reinstalment and back salary of former Supt. Jos. R. King of the Central Ave. bathhouse, who was let out in August by the Miller Democratic city administration, which came up in common pleas and was suspended until Jan. 26, and will be heard by Judge Thos. M. Kennedy.
SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS
ON THE "SUCCESS OF OUR MERCHANTS" IN A NUMBER OF STATES
(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey City, N. J.--According to a second thought, the "success of our merchants," as reported in the columns of The Gazette of Dec. 31, "32, turns out to be almost the opposite.
First, Mr. Charles E. Hall, a clerk for many years in the U. S. Census department, Washington, D. C., stated that there were 25,701 retail stores in 1929 whose stock on hand at the end of the year was valued at $10,657,000. An average per store in round numbers of $415. The fixtures in an ordinary store exceeds this in valuation.
Second, the amounts attributed to Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Georgia and New York respectively, showed sales respectively of $3,821, $4,917, $2,452 and $9,207. Such amounts would not constitute a store among stores that do any business.
In calling attention to this and other publications that speak of millions of business being done by Negroes, we wish only to emphasize the damage it does to Negroes who are now wards of the states in which they live. If Negroes are doing successful business in New York, Pennsylvania and other states there seems to be no need of other people contributing to their support. After a meeting of our grand lodge of Elks in Philadelphia, with its show of a few fine cars or automobiles (paraded around by Elks), it is reported that the authorities in Philadelphia felt that they should not contribute to the support of a people that such a display, and be well for men desiring to show the progress of the race to remember that business has no colorline. Sales, profits and deficits are the same among all groups.
Third, according to a report, in The Herald and Tribune, made by The Urban League of New York City 64 per cent of our men are out of work. Negroes need the sympathetic assistance of all well meaning persons that are able to give it. It is well to remember that in 1932 business was hard-charting. If New York is flourishing business they stand out conspicuously alone. When there is a thriving business era, there is work for the masses.
WHAT IS TECHNOCRACY?
Technocracy is a word coined some years ago by a California engineer to describe a new system and philosophy of government in which our economic affairs should be managed by technicians, that is, the technically competent persons, in the interest of society as a whole. In this original group were such well-known men as Charles P. Steinmetz, the electrical wizard; Bassett Jones, electrical engineer; Richard O. Tolman, of the
NEARLY HALF A CENTURY!
Antioch Baptist Church Celebrates Its Fortieth Anniversary—The Principal Speakers, Dr. H. C. Bailey and Dr. H. C. Phillips—Senator Green to Speak Next Week.
Sunday was the first day of Antioch Baptist church's fortieth anniversary celebration. The initial service of the day was the interesting program of its Sunday school. Seven of the remaining ten charter members of the church were present. Home-coming services at 10:45 a.m. Rev. Horace C. Balley, pastor of the church for more than twenty deliveries the home-coming sermon. There was a attendance, Rev. Alessandro of Wellington, the second pastor of the church, was unable to attend because of his physical condition, the pastor, Rev. W. H. McKinney, substituting for him. The B. Y. P. U. services were largely attended. Nine of the past presidents were present and spoke briefly. Chief among the former and present workers were Mr. and Mrs. John M. Smith, long associated with the work in this city. Rev. Harold C. Phillips of the First Baptist church, Shaker Heights, preached ably at 7:45 p.m. Beautiful palms and cut-flowers decorated the pulpit. The anniversary program was continued thrustful to Monday noon. The Bastian Minister's union was enforced. Tuesday morning the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance was entertained. At 8 p.m. Rev. A. L. Boone preached and Shiloh's choir sang. Rev. J. A. Haitcohue preached and St. John's choir sang. Wednesday evening Thursday night, the night the church

imposed task during the past decade or more and have added to their number until now there are several hundred located in all parts of the world.
Finding this esoteric name Technocracy at hand, this research group have applied it to themselves and have also used it to designate the body of fact and philosophy they have built upon in their researches. In other words, Technocracy both the name of a group and the body of fact and conclusions it is building up.
There are five points in Technocracy that deserve attention. These are:
1. Men and machines are regarded as "energy consuming devices" and for that reason the work and accomplishments of men can be measured in simple common terms.
Social changes and accomplishments can be measured in terms of energy
3. Machines are replacing men so rapidly that a permanent class of unemployed must result. Technocracy asserts that the present system of values and prices is wrong.
4. Technocracy asserts that the ital structure of the world is growing like a snow-ball, drawing more and more of the fruits of labor, is unworkable. The system has neared the breaking point.
5. Technocracy feels that the industrial system has become so completed that politically highly trained and exceptionally wise men can manage it—Edmund B. Chaffee in "The Christian Century."

Next week Thursday night the anniversary will be climaxed with a banquet. Senator John P. Green will deliver the principal address, and Mrs. Mary B. Martin of the Board of Education will make a brief talk. The honor-guests of the evening will be the charter members of the church.
The Empire's Annual Meet.
Stockholders of the Empire Savings and Loan Co., in their annual meeting, Tuesday evening, highly commended their officers and directors on their splendid conduct of affairs during the past year despite the unprecedented business depression. A unanimous vote was taken to support the directors in the plans to qualify for membership in the branch of the Federal Home Loan Bank located at Cincinnati, Ohio, that during the past year its earnings were $15,715.89, while the expenses were held down to $13,905.86, leaving a net earnings of $1,810.03. It also shows that under the new set-up, following the action of stockholders in reducing par value from $100 to $50, the company now has a reserve fund of $28,874.61. Its assets are $320,425.73. Norman L. McGhee, U. S. Parter and Rev. F. A. Lucas were elected directors.
Many of the local Baptist churches are and have been conducting revivals, since Jan. 1, '33.

We shall always believe that the arrest and "conviction" of former City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming was the direct result of political activity, led by a local daily newspaper which sought relief from legal responsibility for statements reflecting upon Fleming which only conviction could afford. We are not alone in this belief', either.
---
The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation, last week, from Rev. W. H. McKinney, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, to hear Dr. H. C. Phillips' sermon, Sunday evening. We regret very much that a previous engagement made it impossible for us to do so and also to hear our long-time friend Dr. Horace C. Bailey who officiated, Sunday morning.

The sudden death of former President Calvin Coolidge was a great surprise and shock to the entire country. Many, varied and lavish were the expressions of sympathy, and some very fine tributes were paid, very few coming from our people, however. There were and are good reasons for this. We have nothing to thank him for, and in our judgment at least, Mr. Coolidge was neither a great man nor a great President—only ordinary. He capitalized silence, and there were reasons for this other than the one generally held.

Dr. T. T. Noble, of Philadelphia, the leading composer of church music in this country who will conduct the Fisk University choir of sixty voices, Monday evening, at Severance hall, says it is the best choir he has ever had his hands on and praises Ray F. Brown, a young director from Oberlin, for so training the choir in the last six years that "it has pipe-organ qualities." It seems that Fisk "did not possess an organ for accompaniment" when Mr. Brown started to train its choir.

Hon. Chester K. Gillespie of this city, our only member of the Ohio Legislature, has been appointed a member of the benevolent and penal institutions, codes, and elections committees of the House of Representatives. These committees are important auxiliaries of the lower branch of the State Assembly. The fact that the Assembly is Democratic in both branches will undoubtedly limit Chester's field of activity, altho he has started out splendidly with his fight on an O. S. U. color-line. We wish him every success and The Gazette will do all in its power to assist him in this and all other well-directed efforts he may make.
---
On Wednesday, Representative Gillespie introduced a bill to pay Joe Weaver $15,000 for his long incarceration in the death house of the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus on conviction in this county of murder of which he was later proven innocent. Gillespie also introduced a bill providing for pre-primary party conventions. The Weaver bill ought to be passed promptly by the legislature. No one would want to go thru what Joe did, during his long incarceration, for ten times $15,000.
OHIO DISGRACED
In reply to a letter, under date, Dec. 19, 1923, from the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie of this city, our only member of the Ohio State Assembly, George W. Rightmire, president of Ohio State University, a public institution maintained by the tax-payers of the state, wrote, under date Dec. 20, 1922:
"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" etc. This having relation to unfair and illegal racial discrimination at the institution against two of our students, young ladies, one of whom is now a graduate of the university. Atty. Gillespie's efforts, for two days the first of the week, to get President Rightmire on the 'phone in order to make an appointment for the conference, resulted in Rightmire's apparent refusal to answer the 'phone calls. His failure to do so, if he was notified of the calls, in the face of his invitation to Mr. Gillespie to confer with him, does not speak well for Rightmire as a gentleman, to say the least. Such a course would only stamp him also as a coward, fearful to face and discuss the insulting and illegal color-line at the university. Miss Wilhelmina J. Styles who graduated from O. S. U., last year, was not permitted to train in the regular economics house or live in the Home-Management house through her four years' stay at the institution. Miss Doris Weaver, at present a student of the "colored girl," according to a Miss Lindquist who it seems is in charge of the Home Management house. A Miss Leman, director of the School of Home Economics, is also guilty of taking and maintaining the same tenure position, it seems. Back of both of these women in the faculty set-up of O. S. U. stands the president, George W. Rightmire who of course must be held personally responsible for the disgraceful and illegal action referred to. It is in direct conflict with Ohio's Civil Rights and other laws and if not eradicated promptly by the State Assembly will have to be taken into the courts of the state and the next move should be the elimination of George W. Rightmire as president of the university. In the light of the foregoing it is not difficult now, if there ever was any question, to understand the dismissal, last year, of Prof. Herbert A. Miller because of his manly stand on the so-called race question. There are over 300,000 colored people in the state of Ohio, every one of whom is naturally thoroughly interested in the outcome of this case and will support Representative Gillespie unanimously. That any Ohio state official would be foolish enough to take such a position, as President Rightmire seems to be maintaining, is almost unbelievable.
HEAR! HEAR!!
ON WHAT'S DOING
In his address to the City club, last Saturday, former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan simply "flayed alive" the Miller city administration, saying among other things that his appointments as city manager respected the Republican councilmen who had elected him. He said the three colored councilmen (Payne, George and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets") suffered when he refused to oust former Color-line Welfare Director Blossom. The Rounder asks, who made them "suffer"? Nobody but, "The Old Reliable" Gazette and many of the royal family of this community, many of them constituents of "The Blossom Triplets." Wait until this fall and they will realize they have never "suffered" at all until then. What our people have laid up to hand those "birds" at that time is a plenty, A PLENTY!
That famous "All-American Notre Dame side-line football star," our mayor, Ray T. Miller, was, according to Ex-Manger Daniel E. Morgan, elected with the enthusiastic support of and a campaign contribution of $17,000 from racketeers, bootleggers and gamblers. This explains just why crime is so rampant in this city and so much policy-playing, etc., in the third councilmanic district.
The city administration's claims of having operated so economically that it finished last year showing a favorable balance was knocked sky-high by Council President John Marshall who charged that the city government at the end of 1932 was in the red (in the hole) $2,150,000. The administration doesn't want the true financial condition of the city known, because (they claim) "it hurts the city's credit" and a committee fig. for $4,000,000 shrinkage compared with that of 1932. Dem. (Dem.) shook his head sadly and said, "We're going to have a hell of a time giving out city jobs to our local Democrats."

City Council, Monday night, approved Councilman Clayborne George's emergency resolution providing for 3-cent zone fare on Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. lines between E. 22d St. and the public square, to be instituted, tomorrow (Sunday). Now then for the improved service on the Central Ave. line asked in George's resolution ago, to be adopted by City Council it is simply impossible for the Central Ave. line to make a proper showing with the new 3-cent zone fare because a Central Ave. car is run only every 16 or more minutes, more than a quarter of an hour.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
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 suit and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. There are many copies of our Ohio law, no new states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
section
6287. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6289. "Sorious injury" defined.
6290. Damages in case of assault.
6291. Damages in case of lynching.
6292. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching
6293. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6294. Limitations of action.
6295. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6296. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6297. County's right of action against member of mob.
6298. County's right of action against another county.
6299. Non-relief from prosecution.

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. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "innocent injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as perfully seriously 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, from officers with which the mission is 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 children surviving such person, 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 as one purposely injured or killed by 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 it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such 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 fees for court cases for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (63 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 killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob
A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contribution evidence 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, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be paid for fifty dollars or 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.

How. One Man Lost 22 Lbs. of Fat
How. One Man Lost 22 Lbs. of Fat
Mr. Herman Runkis of Detroit writes: "A few lines of thanks from a rheumatism sufferer—my first bottle of Kruschen Salts took all the aches and swellings out of my joints—with my first bottle I went on a diet and lost 22 pounds and now I feel like a new man." To lose fat SAFELY and quickly take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast. For your health's sake ask for and get Kruschen—the cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle at any drugstore in the world and if after the first bottle you are not joyfully satisfied with results money back. All good druggists will be glad to supply you.
Swollen Veins
If you suffer from varicose or swollen veins, blue knots, ulcers, bunches, open sores—you can get prompt, sure relief with Emerald Oil. Souse the swollen veins with plenty of oil. Then bind your leg with a bandage three inches wide and long enough to give the necessary support, winding upward from the ankle to the knee, the way the bandage is wrapped. No need sores, nor any crippling discomfort. Just follow directions and you are sure to be helped. Your druggist won't keep your money unless you are.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Julia Starkey Stanley who died, Wednesday, Jan. 4, '33, was born in this city, 77 years ago. She was the wife of the late Alex Stanley and mother of Jas. Starkey, Harriet Coecla Thurman, Raymond Winslow and Flossie Deming all deceased. She was deeply interested in St. Andrews' P. E. church of which she was a devoted member, a most generous contributor and supporter for the last thirty-five years. For many years, she was employed in the Shultz family, wealthy pioneers of Cleveland, and when Mrs. Shultz and her sister, Miss Baldwin, died, they left a joint fund in trust for her lifetime maintenance. They also provided her with a home which she occupied, rent free.
Speaking of Mrs. Stanley, Mrs. Gladys S. Kenny a daughter of the late Joseph Smith, one of our local business men well and most favorably known in this community for many years prior to his death, a few years ago, says:
"I have known Mrs. Stanley all my life. She was always very kind to me if I had taken her advice, years ago. I would have saved myself a great deal of trouble and sorrow. She was good to countless others. I have been taking care of her for three years, and as her mind was gone and she was almost helpless, I have been under quite a strain. I'm so nervous now I can hardly hold the pen to write you these few lines. Our old Clevelanders are almost all gone. She was a real little thorobred."
Dr. A. W. Mercer, age 65, highly respected physician and surgeon of Chicago, originally from Steubenville and Mt. Pleasant, O, well-known to the older residents of this city where he came often, many years ago, died in Chicago, last week Monday, shortly after his arrival there from Youngstown where he, his wife and daughter spent the holidays with Mrs. Mercer's mother. He maintained an office on the west side of Chicago for the past thirty years. Funeral services were held in that at St. Stephens' church, last week Thursday afternoon, and the remains were albiped to Steubenville for burial. A dentist, and Dr. A. M. Mercer, a nephew, both residents of Chicago, and four sisters at Mt. Pleasant, in addition to the widow and daughter, survive the deceased.
Tibbett as "Emperor Jones."
New York City — "Emperor Jones" started going crazy for the first time on an operatic stage, Monday afternoon, to the beating of the everlasting tom-toms. The Eugene O'Neill drama of the Pullman porter, who made himself emperor and then went mad, had Lawrence Tibbett in the "Emperor Jones" role, to a score composed by the Russian-born Louis Grosfeld. "Emperor Jones" constituted the world premiere of the work, which is in two acts. Tibbett was wonderful, receiving very many curtain calls.

Berlin, Germany—Jack Johnson, 54-year-old ex-champion, has arrived in Berlin with his wife planning to open a boxing "gym" and make some money in exhibition fights. "No, I'm not through with boxing," he declared. "How I would like to be in the ring again only if it were for an exhibition bout. But times have changed. Boxing is easier now. We of the old guard bad to work hard with the new bad guys, champions take a long rest after fights. The hardest I ever fought was against Hank Guffin in Los Angeles. It was worse than all the rest of them put together."
Carroll Tops B.-W.
Carmen Aarezone and Ollie Dawson, teammates on Collinwood Hirk's great team, a few years ago, collaborated in a spectacular second-half rally, Wednesday night, to give John Carroll U. its first basketball victory of the season. Baldwin-Wallace, playing its initial game, was the victim, and the score was 28 to 25. Grace was the scoring in the second half, whipping in a shot to cut B-W. lead to 15-13. McCroden and Anderson counted on a field goal and foul shot respectively in rapid succession and it was 18 to 13. That was when our Dawson got "hot." Taking a pass from Aarezone he tossed in a pretty double-decker from the side. On the next play he repeated from almost the same spot. Carroll continued to play smart ball. Suspell, Aarezone and Dawson planted two pointers in rapid succession to win a 25 to 21 lead. Carroll "from there on. Dawson tallied again, unmolested under the basket, for two points and Wolfe added a charity sign.

THE WORLD'S MOST FANTASTIC CARNIVAL
Masked Dancer of Nias Island
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
ALTHOUGH it has been nearly 1,100 years since Nias island, lying in the Indian ocean off the coast of Sumatra, was first mentioned in history by the Mohammedan merchant Soleyman, today it shows less progress than many more isolated spots on the world map.
Neither wireless nor cable connects the island with civilization, and only when an occasional boat calls does it have contact with other lands. Yet there flourished an ancient civilization. Nias is about 80 miles in length. The north end of the island is rather barren and uninteresting, and at times the traveler's arder is somewhat weakened by the intense heat, hard-baked trails which are steep and slippery, and the mengerness of food and shelter. But all these hardships are forgotten when he reaches the rich cities in the South and is lost in admiration of this present-day example of a long-ago civilization.
Centuries ago adventure and possibly shipwreck brought inhabitants to these shores; and here, cut off from the world through generations, these people developed their own laws, their own art and methods of warfare. Here primitive people built great cities with paved streets, carved enormous stones where ghosts of their ancestors were wont to sit; and here, even today, warriors wear metal armor, while their chiefs have coats of gold dedicated to use by human sacrifice. Yet comparatively few people have ever heard of the island of Nias. In their early trade with the Spice Islands, European ships sought the sheltered waters along the east coast of Sumatra, passing through the Strait of Malacca; and today this same route is taken by the richly ineden ships plying between the East and the West.
Soleman tells us that the early Nias people were rich in gold; that they ate coconuts and covered their bodies with the oil; that when a man wished to marry he had to take the head of an enemy. If he took two heads, he could take two wives; if he obtained 50, he could have that many wives.
In manuscripts of later periods, chiefly Arabic, occasional references are made to this island. Ancient maps locate an Island of Gold near the present site of Nias, and the Portuguese in 1520 outfitted an unsuccessful expedition to search for it.
Except for minor visits, Nias attracted little attention from the Dutch until the middle of the Nineteenth century, when they established stations at several points in the North and South. But nature came to the aid of unfriendly natives in keeping the island isolated. In 1861 a series of earthquakes, accompanied by a great tidal wave, destroyed the coast settlements, and a little later uprisings drove the Dutch from the greater part of the island. It is only during the last 20 years that the white man has really ruled the land.
Little villages with palm-fringed beaches are on the eastern shore of the island. Inland, through the heat haze of the valleys, one can see clumps of coconut trees on the hillsides, almost hiding the brown-roofed houses of other villages. Occasionally the green background is pierced by the white spire of a German mission.
The houses in the villages are sound, raised high above the ground, and the bamboo-barred windows, as well as raised portions of the roofs, are filled with men, women and children. They are a sicky looking lot, their yellow color suggesting undernourishment and much malaria. Half the year these people live on rice and half on sweet potatoes, but there is never enough of either.
Money Means Little to Them.
Underfed as they are, they have little ambition to cultivate the fruit and vegetables which might give them more vigor. Money is of little use to them, pigs for the most part taking the place of currency, and to obtain carriers is a real problem for the traveler. The natives do not want money and can see no use in working. Occasionally they go down to the coast and buy a bit of cloth from the Chinese traders, but in the interior, money has little value.
Island of Gold.
When a man buys a wife he pays for her with pigs. The theft of a pig is punishable with death.
Throughout the Dutch East Indies there are, at intervals, government rest houses where weary officials or other travelers may spend the night.
A mandeur, a native "boy" who knows more or less about cooking, is in charge. In Nias, outside of Goenoeong Sitol, a coast village, there is just one of these houses, a large building which formerly was the home of a German missionary.
Lolowun, which is reached during the second day's travel inland, is an interesting place. The chief is an old man, but a lively one. Recently visitors found him wearing a 'wonderful upstanding mustache of gold, a high headdress with golden ornaments, and an enormous earring.
When he danced with the other men, leaping high in the air and performing strange antics with the greatest agility, one could well believe the reports that he had had his fun at taking heads. He fondly stroked a worn and weathered old wooden figure which stood in front of his house and explained that it was his grandfather. Ancestors are not dead, according to the Nias idea. They live somewhere else, but are still interested in their descendants. Through offerings and sacrifices made to the small wooden figures, the advice and assistance of the dead are sought by the living.
In some sections, after a death, the relatives and a magician gather at the grave and invoke the spirit of the deceased to come to the wooden figure which has been prepared for the occasion. All watch intently for a spider, for it is in this form that the soul will become visible on the grave. When at last the insect is caught, it is taken to the house and placed near the figure into which it is expected to disappear. These wooden figures are not only intermediaries between the living and the dead, but are guardians of the homes, custodians of matrimony, and protectors against curses of the enemy.
Magicians Are Numerous.
Almost every village has at least one magician or medium, a man or woman who can talk with the spirits through the wooden images. These magicians must learn all the formulas, must know the names of all the spirits to be invoked, and during the ceremonies they must carry out all the instructions of the spirits. They are believed to be able to cause rain or make the sun shine, to foretell the future, and to bring good crops. They can determine which are the lucky days for marriage, for cutting bamboo, for starting a journey, or for any other undertaking. When a Nias chief has a pain in his stomach, he believes that some spirit in the other world is trying to get control of him, and it is necessary to sacrifice a chicken. If the pain is extreme, he might have to sacrifice a man.
Lature, a deified ancestor, fishes with a net which is the rainbow, and when the people see this they are greatly alarmed, for they know that he will catch them if they do not at once offer sacrifices.
The old chief entertains some travelers royally. He brings warriors with spears and shields to perform mock battles and give wired dances. To the accompaniment of drums, he sings the visitors' praises at great length, the warriors shouting their approval at the end of each line.
Coconut trees are the Nias substitute for a soda fountain. A coolie scrambles up a tall tree and throws down green nuts. With a few strokes of his long knife, a man defyts cut away the husks, making a small hole in the nut. With mouth pressed tightly against this, one drinks the sweet water.
Lolouwa was once a city of 2,000 inhabitants, whose houses, erected in two long rows, faced a paved court.
In front of the houses are stone slabs, polished like glass and wonderfully carved, beneath which the people place the skulls of their ancestors. Tall pillars of stone form backs to the "seats," and, resting on these places of honor, the souls of the ancestors, it is believed, take part in the festivities of the mortals.
Now Fringe Lends Its Enchantment
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
T'S fringe on this and fringe on that in the style parade this season. To live up to the fashion
ITS fringe on this and fringe on that in the style parade this season. To live up to the fashion pace set by smart Parisiennes something or other in your wardrobe really must be trimmed with fringe. As to just how many yards of fringe should be lavished on a garment, there is no limit. Some frocks are literally covered with fringe, yet withal, handled that artfully one does not feel they are getting too much of a good thing. Illustrating this point, we refer to the handsome fringe-laden dress in the picture. It is black crepe with a satiny sheen. The row upon row of fringe on the skirt subscribes to the diagonal movement which is so characteristic of trimming treatments at present. The draped capelike scarf achieves a high neckline effect as it should to conform with the dictates of fashion. Then, too, observe that the ends of the scarf are brought to the back instead of the front in latest approved manner. This same frock repeated in white is perfectly charming.
Here is a suggestion for the woman who must make one formal evening dress do duty for many occasions. Suppose in order to give a concrete illustration, your gown is of velvet or crepe in one of the rich tones of red which are so beloved this season, or black or white, if you prefer. It is made very simply, we will say, the skirt cut on the bias lines which make it snug-fitting, slenderizing, tall and stately. The bodice is semi form-fitting and extremely decollete with simple straps of the velvet over the shoulders. In such a frock there lurk untold possibilities in the way of interchangeable effects, one of the most intriguing being the making of a de-
ODD NEW FEATURE
IS VELVET JEWELS
As far as the Paris styles go, this is a year when velvet practically runs away with fashion. It is being used in Paris for dresses, daytime or evening, and for wraps and suits. But that is only half of it. The shoe matching a black dinner dress may be velvet; the muff worn with a winter ensemble may be velvet; hats, bags, scarfs, even bracelets, all may be velvet.
"One reason for the dominating position of this fabric is the challenging variety of new weaves," says the Comtesse Tolstol in the Woman's Home Companion. "There are dull mat velvets and rough velvets, ribbed velvets and corded. Augustabernard's afternoon dress is in the rough crinkled 'peasant velour,' and it is smart with one of Descat's velvet caps bordered in handmade cording. Molnyneux's white evening gown is ribbed and he uses the material effectively with the ribs going up and down, around and diagonally."
Velvet jewelry might seem odd if it weren't done in Paris, and attractively. A set of three bracelets in bright velvet, rolled like a cigarette, is perfect for sleeves that fit tight at the lower arm.
Plump Figured Ladies
Adopt Two-Piece Dress The sculptural lines have evidently been too great a tax on the figures of many women, or rather the figures have taxed too greatly the nerves of dress sculptors, because of a sudden now, one is discovering a good many smart women wearing two-piece dresses. This is a great break after the past seasons of trying to look like a plaster relief. And those who aren't adopting the two-piece news are almost gulping down the lowered waistline.
Warmth in Color
This is the season of the year to select warm colors for frocks and coats. So avoid steel grays and certain colorless, chilly tones of green. Burgundy is a fashionable color and it is becoming to blonds, brunettes and between shades.
tachable draped cape-scarf of the same material as the dress, following the lines of the one which graces the black fringe-trimmed model picture. Thus you have an exquisitely simple gown which depends on fabric elegance to distinguish it and which can be transformed into a dinner gown of less formality by covering the shoulders with the fringe-bordered capetel.
Other ideas for little capelets and shoulder fancies which are trimmed with fringe are shown in the tiny sketches. The cape in the upper right corner is particularly interesting. It is made of white transparent velvet (it can just as well be in any preferred color or black). As you see, rows and rows of narrow white silk fringe cover it from neckline to hemline. Little evening muffs and bags are also very cleverly ornamented in this way.
To vary the theme some designers are using two kinds of fringe in alternating rows. The black dress pictured would be very effective trimmed in alternating rows of beaded jet fringe to together with the usual silken type. A most dramatic play is made in fringe treatment for the evening costume shown to the right. Here the creator of this stunning model achieves a high waistline by means of a scarf and girdle combination made of red crepe in contrast to the white crepe frock. The long fringe is handtied. Often very severe silhouettes are relieved by sections of long knotted and tied fringe which is worked in panels or sections here and there.
THE LACE COLLAR
Many of the choicest Paris frocks are trimmed with crochet, perhaps in the form of a yoke done in mercerized cotton either in contrasting or matching color or possibly insertions or crochet motifs or bandings and other equally as attractive ideas. The vogue for lingerie collar and cuff sets which are crochet-edged is reflected throughout neckwear sections. The edge on the set pictured is done in mercerized cotton. This smartly clad young woman carries a pocketbook crocheted of bright-red mercerized cotton. Note the cunning sailor hat with its shallow crown. It is up-to-the-moment in chic. The scarf pictured is crocheted in lacy stitch of mercerized cotton. Smart specialty shop display scarfs of this type among their newest style items.
PHONE GIRL QUICK TO DETECT CRIME
Operator Sends Police to Scene of Robbery
The quick ear of Mrs. Beatrice Stewart, Wellsville telephone operator, caught warning sounds from the Julius Goetz Clothing Store one morning. She heard the rattling of papers and other noises unusual in a clothing store at 4:00 a.m. So she called the police.
I
Beatrice Stewart
Wellsville police sped to the store and there found plenty of evidence that robbers had been at work. The safe had been blown with nitroglycerin and the shelves of merchandise were in great disorder. The burglar had made their getaway just in time.
Had they tarried a few moments longer, police would have surprised them on the job. Mrs. Stewart's quick insight into what was happening at the other end of the telephone line would have resulted in their capture.
When the safe exploded, it overturned a nearby telephone. Mrs. Stewart responded with the usual, "Number Please." Failing to get an answer and noting the time, she became suspicious. Then she heard the sounds and turned in the alarm.
Another telephone employee at New Holland, O., frustrated an attempted bank robbery by merely turning on the lights in the exchange. Mrs. Laura Ruble, manager of the exchange, heard the dropping of telephone wires being severed by the robbers in front of the bank. which adjoins the exchange. She turned on the lights and the robbers fled.
Long Service Brings Reward
Miss Eruna
Bairy
Miss Emma Baur, 116 W. Dudley Street, Maumee, O., is wearing a gold service emblem symbolic of 30 years in the telephone business. On New Years Day of 1902, she started her business career as the first telephone operator in Maumee. The exchange was opened that day. Miss Baur is now an Ohio Bell supervisor at Toledo.
Among the names of telephone exchanges in rural England are Kirkgunzeon, Gigglesthorne, Gobion, Bubwith, Stogumber, Owermoigne, Papplewich.
More than 75% of the net gain of 77,000 American Telephone and Telegraph Company stockholders in 1931 was accounted for by holders of 10 shares or less each.
"Doc" Rockwell, the famous comedian, declares there are two things absolutely necessary for any business: a waste basket and a telephone.

A man in a white apron is handling a tray of bread in an oven.
The ancients cooked their breadstuffs on hot stones, but modern bakers make their bread and cakes in ovens heated with fuel oil. Photo shows an oven in a bakery in Stamford, Conn., and its oil burner made by the Petro & Nokol Company. Bakers use two types of ovens, direct and indirect. In the direct type of oven the fire was built in a corner and the hot flame and smoke heated the refractory walls, and the oven drawn out when the oven became cool. In the indirect type of oven the fire circulate in flues and do not enter the baking chamber. By the use of fuel oil in the direct ovens, where the combustion gases pass through the baking chamber, the smoke and spot that collected in the chamber when coal was used, are eliminated.
Tomatoes Yield 22 $ _{1/2} $ Tons Per Acre
TOMATOES
A yield of 22.57 tons of tomatoes per acre is the record this year of William Miller and Son, well-known tomato growers of Pittsford, Monroe County, N. Y., using "Agrico for Tomatoes," a special fertilizer manufactured by The American Agricultural Chemical Company. The entire crop, bought up by the Beechnut Packing Company of Rochester, graded 81% firsts, 18.5% seconds, and only 5% cills. Since only a small percentage of the crop is accepted by the packing company, this grading is very fine indeed. Mr. Miller's cost per ton in raising his crop was $4.52. A check row left unfertilized produced less than half the weight of fruit or vine, the cost per ton of production, due to the low yield per acre, being estimated at twelve dollars, which would have eliminated any profit. A typical fertilized vine shown at the left yield was 18.5% of the crop, with eight pounds of vine; the typical unfertilized plant at the right had only 38 fruits weighing eight pounds, with four and a half pounds of vine.
Counter Car Eye Opener Now Greets Sleepy-Eyed Commuter

Inset, left to right: Mrs. Holman Scott, Westport districtian; Whitey, the Chef; and Sarah Blackwell of the Coffee Service Institute discuss the art of making the perfect cup of coffee.
NEW YORK CITY. — Veteran commuters who gallop for the 7:45 from Westport, Conn., without pausing to wipe the egg off their chins or kiss their wives good-by, can now dawdle over their morning cup of coffee on route to New York, the ingenuity of Louis S. Ritter, nimble-footed commuter who has grown tired of boring his breakfast.
The "counter car," which resembles a lunch wagon gone high hat, devised by Mr. Ritter, has just been added to the commuters' morning special from Westport to New York. Haven and Hartford Railroad.
Under the watchful eye of Sarah Blackwell, noted food expert, and Mrs. Holman Scott, restaurant dietitian of Westport, sleepy commuters can now get their meals on the train, the fragrant zephyr of freshly ground and roasted coffee
being waffted to their nostrils even before the conductor yells "All aboard!" "I got plenty tired of missing my breakfasts in an attempt to catch my morning train," stated Mr. Ritio, and the counter car is the result.
"In opening the first car of this type for the convenience of the commuter, we intend to give him the same tasty breakfast that he is accustomed to at home, minus the hurry. Our coffee, for example, freshly roasted, is served each morning for our drip pots, similar to the way the commuter's wife is accustomed to have it ground at her corner grocery. Hot rolls, ham and eggs, and other inexpensive but tasty items which the commuter desires, also reflect the same accustomed counter car, we give the commuter everything but his wife's good-by kiss."
