The slump of 1920 brought farm values to a normal basis and they did not rise very materially since that time. "Reports to the United States Department of Agriculture indicate that the values per acre of farm land in two-thirds of the states are lower than pre-war levels. In only two sections, New England and the Pacific Coast, are farm values higher than the pre-war level." The following table shows the trend of farm values for the past 50 years. 1880 ..... $12,180,000,000 1890 ..... 16,082,000,000 1900 ..... 20,439,000,000 1910 ..... 40,991,000,000 1920 ..... 77,923,000,000 1925 ..... 57,017,000,000 1930 ..... 57,246,000,000 1932 ..... 44,000,000,000 This table of farm values, said Mr. Bowker, clearly indicates that the inflated war values of farm lands were brought down to normal levels in the period from 1920 to 1925 and that present deflation of capital values in agriculture started from a much lower level than did capital deflation in industry. 30 Million Pounds of Cheese One Man's Annual Purchase By JUDGE GORDON the kitchen and making sandwiches which are meals in themselves. When Mr. Harris started on that subject, I was in my glory. I even gave him my prize sandwich recipe, which is: Grind 1 lb. of American cheese. Mix with $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of soft butter, 2 tablespoonful chili sauce or ketchup, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonful dry mustard, a dash of cayenne pepper and a little scraped onion. This makes a rather smooth, creamy filling, and to make it even some of my favorite milk or cream. Do this filling on slices of bread —pile it on good and thick—and let it brown a little in the broiler flame. It is mighty good with a slice of beacon over the ton. By the way, let me give you a tip about American Cheese. You know, American or "store" cheese comes in quite an assortment of colors (I am passing along a tip to you which Mr. Harris gave me). These colors range all the way from light cream to orange, and remember, not determent of flavor. A rich-colored cheese may be either mild or sharp, so let your taste, not your color sense, be your guide. Mr. Harris told me many interesting things. He even quoted epigrams and mottoes about cheese. A great man, he told me, once said: "Show me the man who doesn't love cheese, and you show me a man whose soul is dead to the joys of life." That's believing in your work, isn't it? And I am a enthusiastic about cheese. Show me (or woman) who don't like sandwiches a la Judge Gordon and you show me a man (or woman) whose soul, in my estimation is dead to the joys of life. --- THE UNION THE REPUBLIC FARM values during the past three years have shrunk 25 per cent, according to Horace Bowker, president of The American Agricultural Chemical Company. In 1890 PETER H. HORACE BOWER farms in the United States were valued at $57,000,000,000; now they are valued at $44,000,000,000.

Up to last night we were just about even, but now I am one man ahead. Last night I had dinner with Mr. E. G. Harris, the "man who buys them than any other man in the country." Last year Mr. Harris bought almost thirty million pounds of American cheese for A. & P, and I think that there is little question but that this figure puts Mr. Harris right on top of the heap. When we started dinner I was afraid that Mr. Harris would not care particularly about "talking shop," but to the contrary, he would buy American cheese. He told me about Chris, the Belgian, up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who runs a cheese factory up there. According to Mr. Harris, if Chris' family might be called typical, running a cheese factory must be the world's healthiest job, for women. He said his sons are always in excellent health Chris and his family live with cheese. At night they sleep in rooms above the cheese factory, and from what I could understand, their principal fare is cheese served in many ways. Mr. Harris told me that my "Mr. Harris" spread to Chicago. Even out West I am known as a sandwich maker. You know, I get a great deal of fun working around THE GAZETTE Total of Value of Farms in U. S.

New York City.—The Tuskegee choir of about 100 voices, with Wm. L. Dawson, its director, who is also head of Tuskegee Institute School of Music, worshiped at St. George's P. E. church here, Sunday afternoon, on the invitation of Harry T. Burleigh, baritone soloist of St. George's choir for more than a quarter of a century. St. George's choir was arranged by Mr. Burleigh, before going to St. George's the choir broadcast at 12:15 from Radio City where it is appearing on the stage, each day, the fourth time it has been on the air since it arrived in New York, three weeks ago. The program was especially arranged for "Roxy," director of Radio City Music hall, who was the choir leader, the chohr has been given more time on the regular radio program by "Roxy" himself, singing three numbers instead of two. Four weeks ago, Radio City Music hall in Rockefeller center was opened by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with a reputed investment of $200,000; Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of directors of General Co.; David Sawfell, of Rockefeller-Karl Orpheum corporation; Morlin H. Alsworth, president of the National Broadcasting Co., and S. L. Rothafel (Roxy), who breathed the breath of A STRONG PROTEST Relative to Privileges to be Accorde Certain Students at Ohio State University.—The Inter- Racial Council. Columbus, O., Jan. 16, 1933. The Ohio State University Inter-Racial Council takes occasion to point at the following situation relative to the admittance of Miss Doris Weaver, a senior student in the College of Arts and Sciences at the Management House which the University maintains as a training center for the course in Household Management. Miss Weaver registered in the Laboratory course in Home Management for the winter quarter of the present school year. In this course, "students live for one half of a quarter in the Home Management House and carry the responsibility of home-making under conditions approximately those of a modern home." (Quotation from the book of the University of Tennessee 1932-1933, pg. 60). Reservations for residence are made in advance. Following these University requirements, Miss Weaver applied for admission last winter quarter. She received a letter of acceptance on Sept. 26, 1932. On Oct. 4, 1932, she was asked to return this communication to the office of the Department of Home Economics. These are the facts of the case. Evidently it was asked that Miss Weaver was of African descent and her acceptance to the Home Management House was therefore cancelled. Last year Miss Wilhelmina Styles was refused admittance for the same reason. No special requirements as to scholarship, or personality are known to exist as criteria of admittance; except certain prerequisite courses which Miss Weaver has taken. From the above it appears that refusal of admittance of Miss Weaver into the Home Management House is a case of flagrant race discrimination by whomever passes upon such applicants. In calling attention to this situation the purpose of the Inter-Racial Council is to PROTEST, that at a University supported by tax funds of which 325,000 Afro-American citizens of Ohio pay their share, such discrimination should be permitted to prevail. If anywhere, on the campus of its institution, there is undueidence of any kind, whether under open or tacit sanction, ought not exist. Wherefore the undersigned student organizations, as members of the Inter-Racial Council, wish to register their disapproval and protest upon the action in the case of Miss Dori Weaver.

It reminds me of the New York Philharmonic orchestra." The concert-master of the NBC symphony orchestra said, for the first time in his life he had heard a choir "attack, release and phrase like a symphony orchestra." Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, declared the Tuskegee choir was "the most outstanding attraction of the evening." On top of this praise, Dee Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra, 537 pages of music, the manuscript of Dawson's first symphony, based on our spirituals. Wm. Levi Dawson, born Sept. 26, 1899, at Anniston, Ala., was the first of seven children. He ran away from home, when he was thirteen, to enter Tuskegee institute which he reached. Sept. 12, 1915, with just $1.50 in his pocket, he traveled extensively with the Tuskegee singers, band and the orchestra. Immediately after graduation, he was given charge of the music department of Topeka. Kan.

Jones Emulates Sammy. It wasn't so long ago that Sammy Slaughter, of Terre Haute, Ind., slated to box "Gorilla" Jones of Akron here, Jan. 30, squared off against Young Stuhley. One might better say Young Stuhley squared off against Slaughter. And that's about what he did. The Slaughter then sent him to the land of slumbers a jiffy. Stuhley said he had never been hit so hard or so quickly in his life. The past Friday night Stuhley tested himself against "Gorilla" Jones. Once again he was rocked to sleep. However, where it took Slaughter only one round, Jones "had to labor" four stanzas to get the same result. Therefore, if you go for figures (but don't, this time) probabilities, Slaughter's chances to win over Jones are four times as good as "Gorilla's." New "Champ" Draws Line. Mrs. Moe Jabaltosky's boy, Morris, the go-Gheteo guy whose nom de punch is Ben Jeby, outpopped one Frankie Battaglia, last Friday night, and so came into possession of this world's middleweight championship, by special permission of Madison Square Garden and the New York State clout commissioners.

He was a member of the Kansas City Symphony orchestra. In 1926, Mr Dawson entered the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, as a student of composition under Adolph Weidig and received the degree of music in 1927. After graduation, he continued to study under Weidig. For four years, he was first trombonist in the Chicago Civic orchestra and then Dr. DeLamartin Stock and Erie DeLamartin. During the Century of Progress band conductors' contest, sponsored by a Chicago daily paper, in August, 1929, he was selected by musicians of Chicago to assemble a band of sixty, and gave one of the programs during the series. In this contest, he was chosen one of the directors for the 1933 World Fair. While in Kansas City he directed the Ebenezee choir, and also directed the Church of the Good Shepherd.

Following his Cleveland, O., engagement, Slaughter kayed Henry Firpo and Young Stuhley each in one round and made it four of a kind by Conrad. Slaughter proved against Conrad that he is more than a flashy beginner. Dropping the Boston socker eight times in the first round—three times for the count of nine—the Terre Haute battler finally had to wait until the tenth heat to put over the finisher. Conrad absorbed one of the most terrestrial lacings ever made by the Boston ring. Slaughter sustained the reopening of an old cut over an eye. Sent Senator Green by Editor Robert F.

Dear Sir: I note in the Cleveland Press that the Cleveland Bar Association honors you with a public testimonial and, perhaps, a few words in honor and respect from the old Press editor will not hurt. It warms my heart to know that you have so well withstood the ravages of time as to be 'still in active persecution' and nothing could be finer, more appropriate than that the Bar Association, or any other organization, publicly recognizes your years of helpful interest in Cleveland's civic affairs. More years and more activity to you! I suppose that, like myself, and I'm aged 77 years, you sometimes get the feeling of being a bit old-fashioned. I have the obsession that, before Cleveland gets very far out of her chaos, there must be somewhat of resuscitation of the old-fashioned principles, policies and ideals. Very respectfully, (Signed) Robert F. Paine.

FISK CHOIR BRINGS SURPRISE CONCERT. Program Ranges From Classics to Folsonga Songs. A Great Audience. The Fisk University choir made its bow to Cleveland, Tuesday night, in Cleveland's most beautiful (Severance) hall and sang a program of religious music before a great audience. The program ranged all the way from Palestrina and Bach to modern Russians, and included several spirituals. Three conductors were present: The regular director, Ray Francis of Ternan, Noble organist and choirmaster of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, New York, and the assistant director, Mrs. James A. Myers, who led the singing of the spirituals from her inconspicuous place in the choir, and who, therefore, appeared not to be directing at all. It was Mrs. Myers, however, who was largely responsible for this most enjoyable part of the program. And following the conclusion of this group the audience, by persistent pleas, placed the knowledge and hearty appreciation of her work, even though she seemed reluctant to take the credit for it. Mrs. Myers was formerly a member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who, in days past, carried the name of Fisk University all over the world and did it honor by singing of exceptional merit. There is the same lovely quality in their voices, marvelously sweet sopranos, and deep, rich bassos. And, spurred by the calling effects with several encos such as "I Ain't Goin' to Study War No More," "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and "Listen to My Sheep." Of the spirituals listed on the program, the most characteristic were "Goin' Up" and "Live a-Humble," while "Were You There?" though bordering more on the conventional hymn, by its soft tenor solo and beautiful pianissimo effects, left one with the program concluded with numbers by Christiansen, Gretchmaninoff, Rachmaninoff and Tschaikowsky, under the able direction of Mr. Brown. There were many encores. And such a crowd! The concert under the local direction of Kathryn Pickard, was one of the most successful of the season. Not only were all the seats in the great auditorium sold, but 50-odd chairs were placed above the pit near the stage, each one occupied. DOINGS OF THE RACE. The editor of The Gazette has another birthday, next Saturday. Rose McClendon is our "outstanding actress of the American theater," it seems. For the first time since 1872, two Afro-Americans were called to serve on a trial jury in Atlanta, Ga., for the January term of court. The Baptist Sunday School Congress, B. Y. P.

A MASS MEETING To Protest Against the Color-Lines at Ohio State University—The Celebration A mass meeting to protest discrimination at Ohio State University, will be held by the local N. A. A. C. P. branch at E. M. Tzl. Zion Baptist church, Sunday 3 p. m. court action, if necessary, is being planned to compel President George W. Rightmore of S. O. U. to permit Miss Doris Weaver of this city, a student, to live in the Home Management House and to enter the practice cottage for senior students in Home Economics. This, apparently, Rightmore has refused to do and solely on the basis of Miss Weaver's race and color. State Representative Chester K. Gillespie, who introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives, Tuesday, in an effort to help up the emergence of a corporation for the University; Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of the church; Charles W. White, attorney; Gardon H. Simpson, executive secretary; and David H. Pierce, president of the local branch, will also speak. Miss Weaver and the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, may also be present. The local branch is determined to use every legal means to bring about the removal of such discriminatory practices in our tax-supported state institutions. The public is invited. The Opera #Emperor The Opera, "Emperor Jones." New York City.—Louis Gruenberg's setting of Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," with Lawrence Tibbett in the title role, was halled at its recent premiere as a distinct work. The opera, the New York Times, describes it as "incontestably the finest American opera the Metropolitan has produced, the finest American opera as yet produced anywhere, and the first American opera by a composer whose dramatic instinct and intuition for the theater seems unfalling, and whose work is very complete modern knowledge, and a reckless mastery of means."

Out at Cleveland's City Hospital, at the head of every bed occupied by a patient, is posted a card announcing among other things the patient's religion. Why is this in a public institution supported by tax-payers and where religious, racial and all such designation should have no place? --- It would be interesting to know why the board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce (not the University) ask $450,000 at this time from the Ohio State Assembly. The State Department has no debt hanging over it, like the University. Wonder if the members of the board have heard of the economic depression? Even the state of Ohio is financially staggering along under it, too. --- Someone ought to tell Richard L.

Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, like a good many other people interested in local politics, know Bundy. --- The Civil Service Commission is considering the charging of a FEE to all who take an examination. During the past several months the commission has allowed the present spoils-system city administration to do as it pleases with hundreds of Civil Service employees. The commission has in no way protested the rights of employees and to charge a fee to take an examination under existing conditions The Gazette feels would be receiving money under false pretenses. --- City Council, last week Monday night, approved Councilman George's emergency resolution providing for 3-cent zone fare on Cedar, Central and Scovil Ave. lines between E. 22nd St. and the public square. This was inaugurated, Sunday. What has become of the improved service on the Central Ave. line asked in George's resolution of several weeks ago? Until it is 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 quarter of an hour and more. Shake up the Council and the Cleveland Railway Co. both, George. "Step on it!" ANOTHER O. S. U. PROTEST President George W. Rightmire the apparent position on the color-line at Ohio State University becomes more untenable each day. Now comes the student-organizations of the institution, as members of the S. U. Interracial Council, with a strong protest against the discrimination in Miss Doris Weaver's case, and of course against the same insulting discrimination in the case of Miss Wilhelmina Styles who graduated, last year. President Rightmire's refusal, last week, to confer with Representative Chester K. Gillespie, and his apparent effort to dodge responsibility in the matter, are both most reprehensible and show him to be a man far too small for the position he is holding after a fashion. There is only one position for the chief executive of the O. S. U. to take in a matter of this kind and that is the broad, manly, legal one. Under the laws of Ohio there can be no religious or racial discrimination in a state institution and even President Rightmire ought to know and recognize this fact. If he does not do so promptly, then he should be made to go and a man big enough for the position selected for the presidency of Ohio State University. BROWN WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED At the November election, Roosevelt (D) defeated Hoover in Ohio by 74,016 votes. Harry S. Day (R), for state treasurer, was re-elected with a majority over his Democratic opponent, of about 50,000. The Republican candidates for state auditor and attorney general were also triumphantly elected. David S. Ingalls (R) was defeated for governor by about 200,000. The Gazette feels that the foregoing shows conclusively that Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown (like State Treasurer Harry S. Day) would have been elected (governor), last fall, and also would have carried to victory the entire state and most of the local county Republican tickets. Mr. Brown's and Ex-Gov. Myers Y. Cooper's combined (dry) vote in the primary election was nearly double that of Ingalls who was the wet candidate. That explains his defeat, by the drys principally.

Phillips on a charge by Atty. Moses H. Dixon, that Lowry tried to separate him from the other customers in the restaurant. George Dietz, proprietor, told the court he did not refuse to serve Afro-Americans but asked them to use a separate room which is unlawful. Judge Phillips said our Ohio Civil Rights law clearly had been violated but said Lowry was helpless, since he was an employee. However, he placed Lowry under three months probation and told Probation Officer Lewis Blacman to confer with Dietz and enlighten him as to the provisions of our Civil Rights law of Ohio. "JIM-CROW" HOSPITALS Harlem hospital, N. Y. City, already overcrowded because of the unusual overcrowding in Harlem itself is forced to bear the additional burden of patients who are "jim-crowed" to Harlem from other sections of that city. On Jan. 7, 1933, Harlem hospital had 325 beds to accommodate 429 patients in the hospital. And it is admitted by every medical authority that a well-run hospital should have a surplus capacity of at least 25 percent for emergency cases and infectious diseases. The center aisles between the rows of beds in Harlem hospital wards, instead of being free, are filled with more beds. This is a very natural and the usual result in cities that permit the establishing of "jim-crow" hospitals. Therefore, our Baptist ministers and others in Cincinnati who are fighting an effort there, of "jim-crow-negroes" to establish a "jim-crow" hospital, are only experiencing what The Gazette and others of this community passed thru in a nearly three years' successful fight to escape from just such a plight as our people of Harlem, New York City, are in with their "jim-crow" Harlem hospital.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1933. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have for many years been cases of mob-violence or violence on the streets, and are copies of our Ohio law. Several other state and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws. in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283.

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. 1) Section 6279. The term "serious injury" or 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.

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 next of kin according to the laws of the estate of the person.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6288. This chapter 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 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. 1930 Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It!

S. HALL'S, 7709 Cedar Ave. NEW YORK The eligible list for the position of assistant deputy commissioner of City Auditorium, appearing in City Record of Jan. 4, 1933, gives first place to Cleveland Heights, second to East Cleveland and third to Lakewood. The city charter requires a year's residence in this city to be eligible for the National Memory serves us correctly. No citizen of Cleveland can take an examination for a position in any of the suburbs, it is said. Poor old Cleveland is still getting the worst of it. Paul Apple of this city, the fourth on the list, should be placed first. From Dr. Walz's statements, last week, one gets the trot that the mourner, Notre Dame foot-ballest man, Ray T. Miller is still carrying the ball in his sleep on the bench. The doctor will no doubt have some very interesting remarks to make of the "zero" head of our city government. At City Hospital above the heads of patients on each bed is said to appear a card giving the name of the patient and his or her religion. And this kind of propaganda is being allowed in an institution supported by the taxes of ALL! As there is hardly an ounce of real Christianity in a ton of people, in the U.S. probably this propaganda doesn't amount to much. Louis H. Chesnutt, age 73, E. 85th St. died, Sunday.

By RING LARDNER Don't Throw Aw Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It The Dismal Swamp THE WOODSMAN A Hunter of the Dismal Swamp. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-NWU Service Washington hunting season is at its height, the usual quiet of the Dismal Swamp, one of the famous hunting grounds of the eastern seaboard, is broken by the crack of sportsmen's guns. Since it was first explored, Dismal Swamp has remained a mystery place. Its last Indian disappeared around the 1700s, but in its depth it is almost as wild today as it was then. Neither fire nor ax has tamed it. Though it has yielded about a third of its original area to the plow, much of the remainder is an unbroken wilderness on the Virginia-North Carolina border. George Washington's name is permanently linked with Dismal Swamp and Lake Drummond. Soon after the French and Indian war, Washington and others, attracted by the wealth of "juniper" in this region, obtained a grant of land and organized the Dismal Swamp Land company. Washington made at least six visits to the great wilderness, to which he refers in correspondence as a "glorious paradise." One of the six ditches connecting Lake Drummond with the outer world bears his name. It extends five and a half miles from the northwest shore of the lake to a point on the White Marsh road, and was dug to get timber from the swamp to the Nansemond river, near Suffolk. Thence the timber went by ship to its destination. Some went to England. A hamlet known as "Dismal Town" grew up at the White Marsh road end of the ditch. It has disappeared completely and the road's course has been slightly changed. In his will Washington valued his 4,000 acres of Dismal Swamp holdings at about $20,000. Today, to all except a very few, the swamp's interior is as much of a mystery as Yucatan. Men are born, live, and die in towns that touch Dismal Swamp's very edges without ever having entered it. Has a Bad Reputation. The name given to the swamp by Col. William Byrd in 1728; stories of the ghosts of Lake Drummond; of venomous serpents and poisonous plants; of savage descendants of runaway slaves still roaming its depths; of fugitives hiding out and, in recent years, of moonshiners that kill on sight; of wild beasts and "the noxious vapors that infest the air"—all have created a feeling of fear that has contributed to the grim atmosphere that enshrines Great Dismal. There are miles of dry forest around Lake Drummit, and here and there along the west "shore" are holes that would mire you to the waist. Near the headwaters of Pasquotank river are holes that would engulf you; quicksands, also. All over the peat areas are deep fire-holes. When the swamp is full of water and covered with vines, travel is difficult and dangerous. Dismal Swamp canal, connecting Hampton roads with Pasquotank river and Albemarle sound, begins at the village of Deep Creek, six miles southwest of Portsmouth. It is 50 feet wide and navigable for vessels with a seven-foot draft. However forbidding many people regard Dismal Swamp's exterior few can view the mouth of the Feeder Ditch from the George Washington highway without becoming enthusiastic. While it passes through the wide, reedy, treeless, and vine matted expanse, the Feeder's banks are lined with stately trees for most of its three miles. In springtime there are jasmine, honey suckle, and other fragrant flowers. In places it resembles a sylvan tunnel, as, enchanting and alluring, it runs straight as an arrow into the mysterious and romantic depths toward Lake Drummond. Otter slides along the banks, and bear trails, where old Brun swims the canal in passing from open space to open space, add zest to the journey. In summer the logs and roots that jut from the banks, and often the overhanging limbs, swarm with snakes, most of them harmless, however. The Feeder is 30 feet wide. Clogged with debris from years of log rafting, the former seven-foot normal stage Has a Bad Reputation. has dwindled to three, and with low water the ditch is almost impassable. The so-called "juniper water" of the Feeder and Lake Drummond is in reality a blend of the leachings of water from gum, cypress, maple, and "juniper" (southern white cedar) peatland, which covered several hundred square miles. The occasional visitor to Dismal Swamp cannot distinguish between the various waters or the blends; but a small amount of juniper leachings is required to make other swamp waters palatable. Pure gum water is dark in color and causes a feeling of distress after drinking. Cypress water is palatable and of a lighter color and will keep longer than gum water, which will not remain sweet an entire summer. Pure juniper water, however, is smooth, healthful, and palatable. It is of a beautiful, sparkling color, between rich chrome yellow and orange. Given the same kind of food, timber workers who drink other swamp waters never look as healthy as those who work in the cedar forests and drink pure juniper water. Formerly juniper tea, made from steeped cedar "straw," was a standard beverage in swamp lumber camps. Journeying up the Feeder in seasons of low water, where underlying roots are exposed, the traveler gets an idea of the source of the swamp's rich amber-colored waters. There are places in the cedar and cypress growths where roots, logs, limbs, stumps, and snags are lapped and tied and twisted to a depth of 17 to 20 feet. Such a natural laboratory will produce juniper or cypress water for years. Jungle Hard to Conquer. The ax means little to Great Dismal. It was wild before the lumberman came, and after he passes it reverts to its former state. The Jungle, with its claws and thorns, returns, and the bear, the deer, the panther, the raccoon, again come into their own. One lumber company operates more than 30 miles of narrow-gauge leg railroad in the section lying southeast of Lake Drummond and extending well into North Carolina. There is little high-grade timber left. The greater portion lies south of Lake Drummond. There are immense areas of hardwoods in which most of the trees are worthless; still others where the never-failing cedar will appear and the slow-growing cypress; and miles of scorched standing timber of all kinds, unfit for any use except firewood. Then there are the square miles of scattered clearings, where, in places, the peat has burned eight and ten feet, down to the sand and clay. The only permanent human habitation in the Lake Drumman wilderness is the house of the government-employed lock tender at the Waste Weir clearing, two and three-quarter miles west of Dismal Swamp canal and a quarter of a mile from Lake Drumman. Six gates, or wickets, regulate the flow from the lake. Until the government obtained possession, in 1929, the Feeder and canal were privately operated. Now the lake and canals are controlled by the United States army engineers, whose orderly methods are bringing a new day to Dismal Swamp. Indian Relics on Sand Bars. During the abnormally low water of the winter of 1930-31 many sand bars were exposed along the shores of Lake Drummond. In places the water receded more than a thousand feet. One can find Indian arrow-heads, hammers, and other weapons and implements along the north shore, where the Indians had hunted and fished for generations. Few Indian relics are ever found ashore. They were soon covered by the decaying vegetation that forms the peat, while acids in some of the woods disintegrate the very bones of men and animals. Only three of the swamp's many canals and ditches are now in use—Dismal Swamp canal, the Feeder, and the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal. All the rest have been abandoned. Many of them were dug by slaves. The Jericho canal for the most part passes through clearings. Near the lake its banks are lined with stately trees whose tops lean inward. East of the Jericho ditch deer abound. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1933. Snow Togs Gay With Color and Chic By CHERIE NICHOLAS HO, HO, ho! Who wouldn't go, up on the hill top far, far away? Come on up, the snow's fine. Let's go! Whether we be snow-faring fans or among those who elect to join the style parade under sunny skies "where summer spends the winter," the "what-to-wear" problem is ever with us. So let's spend a few moments in conference with Dame Fashion and see what she has to say upon the subject. To begin with those who skate and ski and tobogan and frolic in the snow are expected to follow as meticulous a style program as does milady who promenades along sun-warmed beaches or dances to the rythmic sway of waving palms under tropic starry skies. A most important lesson which fashion teaches is the value of color—flamboyant, audacious color, if you please. A formula for color which the smart set is adopting enthusiastically for winter sports outfits is gray for the basic color with accessories in a riot of brilliant greens, blues, reds and orange tones. Over a swanky gray costume consisting of trousers in dark gray with a tuck-in sweater in lighter tone, the neckband and wristbands knitted in vivid stripes, she who skates wears a patchwork suede jacket, in lumberjack fashion, which startles the eye with its vivid coloring, being formed of swatches of blue, green, red and yellow suede sewed together in crazy-quilt fashion, with enough gray suede worked in to relate it to the gray of the sweater and trousers with which it is worn. It does not look its high color in the picture, but if the skirt-and-jacket suit 1 One sleeveless decollete gown with a flock of cunning dinner jackets equals a whole wardrobe of evening clothes. Which goes to show how practical fashion is growing during these days when economy is correct form wherever we may go. The model pictured is in black and white velvet. Gold or silver-spangled velvet would make up very prettily after this fashion. The list of flattering dinner jackets includes some very dainty fantasies made of choice lace either black or in cruc or flesh tints. Worn over black velvet or crepe dresses they transform the formal gown into a costume tuned to the semi-formal dine or dance hour. The fair for sparkle is reflected in the dazzling little capetels and jackets which are sequin covered. Hatback Ja Need The strong popularity of the Victorian colfure that sweeps all the curls to the back of the head makes the elevated hatback practically imperative. worn by the young woman playing lee hockey in the picture could be seen in the original it would certainly qualify as being plenty colorful. The trim- ly buttoned and belted jacket is of bright red corduroy. It is lined with natural chamois. The skirt is of rich green sweed leather. Its buttoned- down-the-front fastening is the last word for sportswear. Included among timely suggestions for conservatively smart snow suits are types such as the model shown to the right in the picture. It is made of navy gabardine which is so generally worn, it has become almost a tran- tition in the sports realm. Variety is afforded by the plaid lining which is woven in fanning colors. The commendable thing about mod- ern winter sports togs is that no matter how pictorial they may be they never sacrifice the practical. The sportswoman who knows her fashions never thinks of wearing a jacket or blouse which does not fasten with a metal slide or some such arrangement. That is, if she be not intrigued with some other equally as dependable a gadget such as, for instance, the new fastening created by Schiaparelli which slips small wooden knobs through leather thongs. A row of 'em is warranted to "doll up" any ski or skate suit to the snow queen's taste. Howsoever to do the trick without ostentation you will please to note the pullover blouse pictured above in the group, which fastens with a metal slide at the back of the neck. The collar and gloves are striped in pale blue and brown. © 1932, Western Newspaper Union. GOLD AND SILVER SLIPPERS RETURN The fashion tip given by one of the better shoe houses is to dye the heels and bows of an opera pump to match the gown or the accessories. This same house is showing a slipper that can almost be said to embody every color of the rainbow in a vivid pattern. Velvet slippers are exceedingly smart. Many of them have straps and intricate trimmings of gold or silver kidskin. Some have both. Returned to favor are kidskin gold and silver slippers. A new note is a combination of the gold and silver. The broaches are very smart. They are trimmed with the gold or silver kidskin. Some houses are showing a trim of opaque kidskin. There are satin and moore combinations to be had and crepe slippers to be dyed. One-Sleeved Gowns Are Latest Freak in Paris Two sleeves do not make a dress. Paris couturiers are striving to persuade their clients that one is quite sufficient. However bizarre may be your mental picture of a one-sleeved gown, in reality the creation is sometimes effective. It's smartest, however, when applied to jackets. These leave one arm covered with a fabric contrasting with the fabric of the dress sleeve. The armhole of the "missing sleeve" is trimmed with feathers, the other with fur. Seguin Capes A shoulder cape of sequins on black net or chiffon is charming worn with a simple evening gown. They can be bought separately to wear with different dresses. Plaid Velvet Plaid velvet bags with scarfs to match are gay and pretty to wear with your dark fur coat or with a solid color wool dress. 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 California Institute of Technology; Frederick Lee Aekerman, in which Thorstein ceblen, the morthodox eco-architect, is rating high in the scientific and technical world. These men have been working at their self-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 in their research, their other words. Technocracy is 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. 2. Social changes and accomplishments can be measured in terms of events. 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 theital 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 complicated that only highly trained and exceptionally wise men can manage it—Edmund B. Chaffee in "The Christian Century." QHIQ DISGRACED! In reply to a letter, under date, Dec. 19, 1932, 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, wrote, under date Dec. 19, 1932: "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 office, for two years, will be the 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 S. O. U., last year, was not permitted to teach in the regular school, and was in the Home-Management house throughout her four years' stay at the institution. Miss Doris Weaver, at present a student of the university, is presently insulted and mistreated because she is a "linded girl," according to a Miss Lindquist who it seems is in charge of the Home Management, is a Miss Lanman, director of the School of Home Economics, is also guilty of taking and maintaining the same untenable position, seems. Back of both of these omen in the faculty set-up of the W. Rightmire, W. Rightmire who of course must hold 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 many stand on the so-called race problem, who are over 300,000 colored people in the United States, every one of whom is naturally thronged 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.

S 1987 CHICAGO PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS The voice of the underworld is not always that of gangland, but frequently emanates from the grimy face of a miner, a mile below the surface of the earth. This, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, is made possible by mine telephones, many of which connect with lines of the Bell System. From such telephones, a miner could converse with any other telephone in the Bell System, sending his spoken words from the bowels of the earth to far-away Australia, if necessary. And the voices of telephone girls penetrate deep under the strata of the mining country to inky caverns where a woman is rarely seen. Such is the situation at New LaFerty Mine No. 6 of the Hanna Coal Company, which bores deeply under the hillsides of Belmont, County. In the far end of this mine, where the slow drip, drip, drip of water from the roof wears away in time the hardest rock, and where gloom and blackness are eternal, is a modern outer world telephone. Among the miles and miles of tunnels and in the mine, tele- THE proposed tax in the revenue bill before Congress on petroleum imports after they have passed through the customs will act as an embargo and by shutting out imports of oil, will produce a C. McTernahman, president of the Petroleum Heat and Power Company, asserted before the Senate Finance Committee in its hearings on the revenue bill now before the Senate. The committee speaking in behalf of the American Oil Burner Association, is a subterfuge tariff, inserted in the domestic revenue bill through pressure by domestic oil producers, and has no place in the bill. If allowed to re-examine the tariff will be a colossal tevy on the American public, for increased prices of gasoline to the motorist and increased prices of fuel oil to industry and home owners will reach. Mr. McTernahman said, the standing vote of half a billion annually. He pointed out that there are over 600 oil burner manufacturers in the United States with more than $100,000,000 invested. In addition, there are 10,000 dealers, with invested capital of $150,000,000 and distributed installations installed over $1,000,000,000 worth of oil burning equipment in $85,794 installations," continued Mr. McTernanah, "and employ a total of approximately 250,000 persons, to say nothing of the employees of the manufacturers of commodities upon which their business. "The only reason it has been possible to build an American industry as large as the oil burner industry in the short space of 16 years is because of the fact that there has been, by reason of the import of American products from the United States, an adequate supply at reasonable price." He pointed out that the proposed import of 42 cents on a barrel of petro phone wires have been drawn. The safety of men and the smooth working of modern mining methods depend greatly upon the telephone within the mine. Section bosses converse with the tipple—the tipple with men on the inside. Motormen drive huge 13-ton electric motors and scores of loaded cars of coal along the narrow tracks underground, depend on signals flashed to them by trappers far down the runways. A snipped telephone wire and inability of the bottom to call the inside entries and the motormen might result in the out-coming avalanche of steel and coal weighing hundreds of tons to crash with terrific speed and force into an in-going motor with a load of empties or men. The telephone in this dim underworld serves as a traffic light, as well as the slender thread which joins the subterranean caverns with the outer earth. All mines of the Hanna Coal Company and those of many other companies are similarly used by the telephone, using the same methods of control. W. C. McTARNAHAN leum "is equivalent to a tax of 70 per cent of the present price of fuel oil." Not only would the tax, by shouting out petroleum imports, disrupt the oil burner industry and throw thousands of men out of work and cause great capital losses, it would not return to the national treasury." An immense levy on the American public, running into hundreds of millions of dollars annually, will result from the increased cost of gasoline, fuel oil and other petroleum products, and will result from imports, Mr. McTernanah continued. "Such a tax," he said, "would increase the price of one of the necessities of life, heat, to over 800,000 home owners and their families. The only beneficial item of the tax is that the domestic oil producers; it will not return one penny of revenue to the national treasury."
