Agriculturist Must Raise Three Times as Many Bushels Of Potatoes, Wheat, or Other Crops With Which to Pay Taxes on His Land TAXES on farm property absorb nearly 12 per cent of the gross farm income of the United States as combined with only four per cent before the war, Horace Bowyer, president of The American Agricultural Chemical Company, "In paying 12 per cent of his income in taxes, the farmer bears a very unjust portion of the taxes of the United States. The farmer is the one class in our population who is bearing the full brunt of the depression. Not only does he pay HORACE BOWKER asserted in an interview in New York City. This means, he said, that a farmer must give three times as many bushels of corn, wheat or other products for the support of the government than he did in the years before the war. 1. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` CLEVELAND, OHIO. Phone: CEdar 2368 "In paying 12 per cent of his income in taxes, the farmer bears a very unjust portion of the taxes of the United States. The farmer is the one class in our population who is bearing the full brunt of the depression. He is the special part of his income in direct taxes, but he also pays the many indirect taxes the same as do the other elements of our population. Farm products are selling at pre-war prices, yet the prices he pays for manufactured products are considerably in excess. The war levee rates, his dollar wage is much less than is the dollar of the general public. "There is no question but that the general tax system now in effect discriminates against the farmer, who constitutes one of the most important parts of our population. The system," continued Mr. Bowker, who constitutes the War; now under the extraordinary economic conditions prevailing in the United States, the tax system is unbearable and intolerable to the farmer. He must be relieved of this discrimination, which can be accomplished by the enactment of state and local taxation. Such tax revision will require substitute taxes—income, sales, excise—in lieu of the excessive general property levies now imposed. This shifting of the burden will naturally evade operation, now attributing its fairness. Such revision of state and local taxing methods must come; the farmer cannot be expected to bear the tax burden of the country forever."

We have helped to develop civilization in this country and abroad and are entitled to share equally in its benefits and emoluments. The speaker offered a challenge to the younger generation to add to the immortal deeds of history performed by their fathers and grandfathers. The meeting was held at the M. E. Church and the auspices of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. The Wilberforce quartette, which accompanied Mr. Gregg, rendered several very pleasing selections. Massie Case Ended Honolulu, Hawaii—Official termination of the "Massie case" was written, Monday, when the charges against the four natives, one of whom was most brutally murdered, accused of having assaulted Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Massie, wife of an American naval officer, were dismissed. Lieut. Massie, and an American marine and Mrs. Massie's mother were charged with the crime of murder. A severe attack of acute indigestion prevented the editor of The Gazette from attending the Allen Day banquet, Monday evening, at St John's A. M. E. church, as anticipated. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Democratic campaign assessment fund, taken from the 38,700 men that would be employed under Mayor Miller's political work-relief plan, at $5 each, would be enriching the Democratic campaign fund by $193,500, and gain thousands of extra votes for the Democratic ticket, this fall. According to The Cleveland Press of February 9, Mrs. Bernice Pyke (of Lakewood, our Democratic director of welfare) has five of her family on the payroll. Well, that continues to be true, as in a case where and deluded families who voted for Miller under the promise of a job and who by all rules of the game are entitled to the four places. Under the Republican City Administration, about 1600 of our people were on the city payroll, but under the Democrats it is reported that only 70 are employed. Many of the business men of both Central Ave. and Scovill Ave., who voted against Morgan are keenly feeding the loss of the thousands of jobs that the president from the almost total elimination as job-holders of members of our group. Why don't at least one councilman get some paper, pencil and a High school student to give him the "low-down" on the mayor's attempt to exploit the poor and hungry men, women and children, and thus enable said councilman to show by figures just published that the gigantic Democratic political machine will receive per week for his and his family's votes, next fall. An average of three extra trips each rush hour have been added to the Cedar Ave. line, and a 60-day trial of 12-minute time on the Central Ave. line has been granted by the Cleveland Railway Co., but no improvement for the Scovill Ave. line it seems. The foregoing is undoubtedly granted as a result of Councilman George's resolution of some weeks ago. The new schedule for Central Ave. will doubtless be issued, Feb. 16, or very soon thereafter. The police would like our people of the Central Ave. district to patronize the Central Ave. line so the twelve-minute schedule can be retained after the 60-day trial. There has been sixteen-minute service on that line ever since last July, and it is simply terrible! METCALFE EQUALS WORLD RECORD Races 70 Yards in 7 Seconds to Win From Michigan Rival, Also a Member of the Race. Morgantown, W. W. —Scorching the cinders in a brilliant haze with metalcite. Metalcite, U.S. sur- printer, last Saturday night equalized the world's record in win- ning the 70-yard sprints, premier event of the fifth annual West Virginia indoor games. His time was 7 seconds flat. Smarting from defeat in the preliminaries by Willis Ward, Michigan's "Afro" speeder, a worthy coming star of the Olympic champion, Metalcite shot out of the pits with the starter's gun.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OR MAKE ONE? ASKS PROFESSOR CARTER G. WOODSON OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Prejudiced Laborers, Politicians, Home-Owners, Parents, Railroads and "Christians." Washington, D. C.—An opiate furnishes temporary relief, but it does not cure the complaint causing the pain. So is it with segregation. We yield on principle to satisfy the mob but reach no ultimate solution of the problem at hand. In our democracy we are accustomed to give priority to what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them. What we do today may have to be undone tomorrow because we have learned to follow the behest of the mob just as we are about to in legalizing liquor again. Segregation is an effort to secure racial supremacy, but the system has blocked progress by its prioritization of desirable burden in the double cost of labor, travel, recreation, education, and government. Laboring men will refuse to work with Negroes not every time solely because of race prejudice. There are only so many highly paid positions available; and if these are secured to whites by the subterfuge that the "races will not work together," Negroes are kept down by lower income. Either Negroes must be a lower standard of living. They will not consume all of the necessities and will have few, if any, of the luxuries of life. In this way the white laborer diminishes the number of consumers who, if accepted in the higher pursuits, would increase the demand for what is produced in that sphere. The segregating white laboring man, therefore, is cutting off his own income and depopulating the workforce somebody else. In this way the English bled themselves in trying to bleed the Irish. The politician who makes his party a social organization from which Negroes must be excluded to keep the white man socially supreme carries his point, and for a while everything seems to go well; but the very secession of the Negroes thereby eliminates itself from politics by voting solidly with one party to make segregation supreme. This segregating section will never have any influence in politics as such, for men of vision cannot count on such people for advanced ideas. The world to go forward must proceed away from segregation in the form of Segregation means isolation, untimely decay, and inevitable death. The irate resident in an exclusive district snorts like a horse if a Negro moves into the neighborhood, and with the cooperation of others similarly moved these undesired residents are kept out by "law" or intimidation. In slums to which the Negroes are confined, however, a large number of citizens are dragged downward by conditions which they cannot control. From this source will come poverty, disease, and delinquency. These will afflict those in the social and economic relationships, which in spite of racial antipathy have always endured. Here again the Negro is forced downward, and as Booker T. Washington well said, the white man to keep him down must stay in the ditch with him. A parent becomes enraged because his child must occupy a seat next to a pupil of color, and protests. The schools, then, must be made separate; but the district is too poor to maintain one good system, and both have to deal with the demands are met, but education in the hands of race-hating teachers in one school and job-seeking ones in the other must be neglected. The poorest commonwealths are struggling today with the millstone of a dual education system sinking them into a sea of disappointments. The schools are struggling with the richest states which do not carry such a burden? Negro children are forced off the playground, although the kiddies of all races gladly play together unless restrained by the agents of race hate. The city, being unable to provide for both, thus forces the Negro children into the criminal atmosphere of the streets. They go from the juvenile court to a high tribunal taking cognizance of more serious charges; and the penitentiary gets a goodly number of citizens who might be otherwise productive—persons who instead might be degraded upon the country might have received honor upon it, if they had been early directed in the right way. Segregation helps to increase delinquency and their crime is made the excuse for further segregation. The Negro is forced to return the "jim-crow" car, and the bankrupt railroads must provide it even if as a re THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compares with any will imminent establishment in the NEWSLETTER BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

The expenses of additional space and the employment of extra workers to supervise this segregation add further to the burden of a state that cannot be taken over by the federal government. Whether under such a national management this heavy cost of segregation will be maintained in making a problem while trying to solve another does not yet appear. The race conscious "Christian" may drive the Negro out of his church, but it is done at the expense of the state, the foundation real which Christianity must be built. If the Christian church can thus dispose of Negroes certainly men of state, who do not claim to be Christians, cannot be censured for "jim-crowning" them or distranchising them. If Negroes, too, are such undesirables, what harm can there be in burying them or exterminating them altogether. In thus trying to secure all the best things of life to a privileged class, society does not go forward. The effort is made, but it does not get any further than that of the dog when he eats his tail. Segregation being opposed to the principle of an equal chance for all must fall, for only by social justification is immediately hard on the Negro; but in the end the white man suffers equally as much, and both go down together. SANG FOR THE PRESIDENT Tuskegee's Great Choir at the Nation's Capital—It's Concert at Howard University. Washington, D.

After the recital the President thanked the choir and said he was greatly interested in the work of Tuskegee Institute. The singers, headed by their talented director, were shown through the White House after they went to Howard University where they gave a full concert for the faculty and student body.

THE WEAVER BILL The House of Representatives, on Thursday afternoon of last week, passed by a vote of 104 to 1 Hon Chester K. Gillespie's bill authorizing the Cuyahoka County commissioners to pay Joseph Weaver $15,000. Now it will be acted upon by the State Senate. If favorably, as all sincerely hope and expect, and Gov. Geo. White sign it, a small measure of compensation will be given Joe for the 25 months' incarceration, 22 of which were spent in the Ohio penitentiary death-cell the innocent of the crime (murder) on which he was "convicted." If he finally receives the $15,000 there is no doubt but that he will liberally compensate his attorneys, Messrs. Nathan Cook and Wm. Marsteller, who stuck to him from start to finish and saved his life when nearly all others had deserted him. They did this, too, without pay of any kind, for Joe had nothing to give them. No human being would want to go to thrue what Joe Weaver did, from the day of his "conviction" to that of his liberation, for any amount of money. Indeed, it is simply impossible for him, of any other innocent person so mistreated, to ever be properly compensated for such a harrowing experience. We do not for a single moment believe the members of the Ohio State Senate and our Governor will hesitate a moment to give Mr. Gillespie's Weaver bill the same prompt and favorable action given it by the Ohio House of Representatives, everyone of those 104 members of which acted so willingly, so promptly and so wisely in the matter. Thanks, gentlemen—for all fair-minded persons in the state of Ohio. According to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, recently, Mayor Ray T. Miller said: "Regardless of the outcome of the Civil Service examination, held a short time ago, for any purchase will become commissioner, next month. We will ignore the Civil Service list." Well, well, WELL! A Civil Service law is just as sacred as any other law, and any one violating it, or any other law, is a law-breaker, often a criminal. Mayor Miller will not only make himself the leading law-breaker of this city but he will also violate his oath of office when he what he announces as his intention to do. Is it any wonder that crime flourishes in a city where its Chie Executive does not obey the law but even flouts it and ignores his oath or office? Why prosecute the many petty law-breakers and let the "big fish," even if office-holders, clothe themselves with immunity? Police! Police!! Catch the big ones first and then go after the "small fry." Congressman Martin J. Sweeney says, "One phase of Mayor Ray T. Miller's 'new' direct relief plan is absurd. In it he contemplates building a road from Edgewater blvd. to the bath house, a distance of 1000 ft. This project the mayor states will give work to 9,000 men. This is really ridiculous and so impractical that if he tried it, men would be packed in like sardines." Well, that former famous Notre Dame football bench-warmer, the mayor, is still "carrying the ball" on the bench. But he and "Boss" W. Burr Gongwer are hot after jobs for the Democratic "faithful" and a good big campaign fund for this fall. Republican members of the City Council should reject the mayor's new direct relief plan, and promptly too. A VERY VICIOUS BILL! What seems to be the first move of the Ohio khu klux klan to carry out its vicious program, directed against our people of Ohio, made at a state meeting of the miserable organization in Columbus, a trifle over a year ago, is bill No. 341, introduced in the House of Representatives, recently, by the Hon. Mr. Kasch of Akron. It will be found elsewhere in this paper. Our only member in the State Assembly is Representative Chester K. Gillespie of this city. Recognizing the seriousness of the "very vicious" blow, directed at the state department at Wilberforce by the Kasch bill, Mr. Gillespie is calling on all of our people, and their friends in the state of Ohio, to get in touch with their member or members of the lower branch of the State Assembly, explaining to them the miserable attack outlined in House Bill No. 341, and politely but firmly asking their assistance in our effort to kill the bill in the House committee, to which it has been referred, before it reaches the House, if possible. There is no earthly good excuse for any such legislation at this time for the very good reason that the curriculum of the state department at Wilberforce complies with instructions given the institution by the State Education Department, like all other state educational institutions. Mr. Kasch's effort, or that of any other member of the State Assembly, to thus undertake to usurp authority invested in the State Education Department ought to be estopped, promptly, and the best place to do this is in the House committee to which the bill No. 341 has been referred. Whether he realizes it or not, he is trying to establish with his bill a precedent that the Ohio House of Representatives should not permit because of its future probable effect upon other state educational institutions. So get in touch with your member or members of the lower branch of the State Assembly just as soon as possible. OUTHWAITE The Only School of the Kind in the City That Denies Opportunity to Our Boys.—Attention, N. A. A. C. P.! It is time that the thinking people in this city became aware of the situation which exists at Outhwaite School. When this school first became a center for average boys, it was planned to serve those boys who were three years or more age for their grade. It was that that these boys would be happier if placed in groups together where the fundamental subjects could be stressed. It was indicated that these boys be given the same opportunity that the children of other taxpayers receive. After completing the eighth grade at Outhwaite these boys went to East Technical High school where some succeeded and some failed, as is true with all classes. When Outwaithe was transferred to the department of special schools, however, opportunities open to children of other taxpayers were no longer open to these boys. A small number are sent to school during high school when the sixth grade is completed. The fate of the others is a tragedy. They mark time in Outwaithe for several years and then are given a card which states that they have completed the work offered there but are eligible for no other school. The door of further education is closed to these boys simply because they are unfortunate enough to reside in the Outwaithe district. Perhaps the boy's parents wish education to cease, but he can no farther. Why should such a school exist only in that district? Overage, or as they are now called ungraded Z groups, are not peculiar to the section in which Outwaithe is located. Large numbers of them are cared for in other sections of city, but the majority discriminated against as in the Outwaithe-Longwood district. In other sections where the group is large enough, they work together until they complete the sixth grade. Then these pupils are sent to junior high school and whatever educational opportunities they can make use of are taken to school. In February, 36 boys and girls in an ungraded Z group were sent to a west side junior high. Their P. L. R.'s (Probable Learning Rate) ranged from 100 to 65. Investigation will show that the range is no lower at Outwahte than in similar groups. The Board of Education maintains special centers to which the mentally defective are sent. Thomas Edison is maintained at great expense to care for problem boys. If Outwahte is being used for either of these purposes, it is grossly unfair to the normal boys who attend and should be investigated. It is not designed, equipped or run as a for mental defectives or de- The argument has been advanced that when these boys were permitted to attend East Technical they dropped out without completing the course. Pupils do not enter public high schools pledged to complete eight years' work. Groups who refuse admission because they might do so. Some boys who have finished the regular elementary school are sent to Outhwaite' instead of to junior high. No junior or senior high school in any other section of the city has the right to refuse pupils from any elementary school. Who has the right to say that because a child lives in a certain section of the city, he must leave school with a card that says 'no farther'. In long similar groups in other section of the city receive all educational advantages why should these boys be denied them? A Mother. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

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 followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. In other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278.

(93 v. 162 10.) 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, house, hotel, business 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, nor less than ten hundred 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 and it is to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Founded several years azo, the shark Industry of Australia has at last reached the commercial stage. Like the rabbit, the snake, the lizard, the erocodile and the alligator, the shark has attained this status mainly through the whims of Milady Fashion the world over. She demanded something new in footwear and bags, and she has It in sharkskin. Several years ago a trading com pany in England sent four experts out to Australia to specialize in sharks— shark catching and shark treatment. ‘They were the specialist nucleus of Marine Industries, Ltd,, the Australian offshoot of the English company. After investigation, the quartette chose Pindimar as the scene of their opera- tons, Tt had and has the first essen- tial—sharks, thousands of them; all Kinds and ‘varieties; all sorts and sizes; and all within a few miles of the shore. The Devil and the Demon, specially built motor boats, were put into sery- fee. Staunch little eraft they were, proving themselves so with the heav- fest of freights and In any weather. ‘The first attack was Igunehed at the entrance to the port, a stretch of wa- ter three-quarters of a mille wide. ‘The nets were unlike avy used before In Australla, ‘They were approximate- ly 1,000 feet long, about 16 feet deep, of an eight-inch mesh, and they were Jeaded and anchored to the bottom, with glass buoys to hold them upright. On the surface, marking the anchors that helped secure the net to the bot- tom and at the sume time holding tt steady, were large drums. Usually the nets are set in the afternoon and raised the next morning. No Lack of Sharks. When the first net set was raised, the fishers discovered that, for nce at leat, the loca Ssberman ad told the truth. There were sharks there in abundance—all sorts and sizes—“gfhy nurses,” “whalers,” “tl- gers," “school sharks,” “blue ‘point- ers," “hammerheads,” “carpets,” “*wob- begongs,” “shovel noses,” “‘gummies,” “angels and “Port Jacksons.” ‘The shark fishers learned, too, that sharks were really stupid. An exg-cup would have covered the brain of the biggest shark, an 18-footer. ‘This lack of intelligence {s demon- strated by the fact that once « shark uns into the mesh of the net, once he even touches it, his doom is more or less sealed. Though he may sense tts dangerous potentialities, he wil ot retreat; he presses ahead. And ‘as he does #0, those thin brown cords ‘get tangled more and more securely around bis gills, Then he is there to stay. ‘The Devil and the Demon are each manned by a crew of two and a “half” ‘men—two very strong men and a ind. On the Job of raising the net, the skip- per is at the tiller; right up “forrad” ‘one chap, his legs braced against a lit. tle footrall, hauls, and a Httle farther along the deck, taking the strain, is the lad, "Hand over hand they heave and pull, ‘until at last the “forrard man” calls ‘a halt, “Here comes one,” he says, and, Delow, a mass can be seen tangled in the net, thrashing and writhing. ‘Then the skipper leaves the tiller and lends Dis welght. It ls a man’s job. For even without the catch to Increase its ‘weight, a shark net, when wet, tips the beam at half a ton. ‘At last that part of the net which holds the shark Is pulled to the sur- face. Then for daring, speed of hand and sureness of foot, there is little to equal a trained shark fisher. The for- ‘ward hand leans over and grasps the tall of the struggling monster. No matter what the shark's size, weight and temper, that tail must be hitched. ‘And when the shark boat is shipping ‘green seas, and a savage 15-footet is Yenting his rage on the net, with the forward hand baving only a tiny foot- all to give him stance and grip, then the ordinary angler comes to a reall zation of the difference between fish- Ing for sport and netting for sharks. Getting Him Out of the Net. ‘The shark's head is tangled in the net, his tull securely. noosed. While the forward hand is fixing the noose, the lad has swung out the derrick arm. ‘The tall loop is Unked up, the lad eehe the: windlass, “snd shark and net are hoisted into the air. Follows another hazardous opera tlon—extrieating the shark from the net. ‘The mesh 1s wound round and Found and fastened about his gills, find quite possibly, too, is fis and tail are entangled. With infinite pa- tence and the speed of long exper! ence, the Ashers pull the net elear— pull it clear from razor-edged teeth, thrashing tall and madiy squirming body-—until at last the shark Is clear of the net and hanging by Its tall. In each shark boat is an outsize in baseball bats, or at least what looks like a baseball bat, only it Is rousher fand very much heavier. ‘There {s also f revolver of large caliber. With one of these weapons an “anesthetic” Is ‘Adnalnistered to the captive. Either the bat thuds with every ounce of the wielder's weight on the nose of the shark, the nose belng the sharkish equivalent of the point of the human Jaw, oF the revolver does the Job an- other way. On the dock the shark “surgeon” Is waiting, When he dons. his. blood- stained apron, Wares. is muscular farms, and delicately tests the Keen- ness of his big collection of knives, the great fish 1s headed for a shark's equivalent of the hereatter. Parts That Are Utilized. ‘he salvaged portions of a shark, in ‘ofder of value, are the hide, the liver, the fins, and the stomach bag. Con: trary to prevailing opinion, the teeth fare valueless, It Is generally believed that sharks’ teeth pass as currency in many of the South Sea Islands; but faithongh teeth, ranging from’ the Tazoredged fangs of the tiger to the Ivory stilettos of the gray nurse, have been hawked throughout the islands, they have never found a market. ‘To revert to the commercialization. Firet the shark is killed. "No stuunlog for near killing this time. ‘Next the car- ass Is washed and the “surgeon” sets about cutting away the fins and be- gins skinning. ‘This is a most delicate Job, for one false cut and the value of the hide is materially lessened. What makes the cutting s0 dificult fs the toughness of the hide. It Is rough and thick and stubborn, a ver- {table piseatorial coat of mall, and each cut plays havoe with the skin- fing knife, So much so, that after six Inelsions hone ‘or ollstone must be brought Into plas. Howerer Ina few minutes the shark's clothes ook like ‘@ cubist erose-word puzzle. ‘Then It {s tug and pull until the hide is off. After shark and hide have parted company, the latter 1s “beamed"—the flesh Is cleared away trom the inner side. Beaming completed, the hide Is Closely Inspected. If any parts are faulty, they are cut away; and then {t goes to the shed for its rst coat of brine, A week later it is given anoth- fer coat, and two weeks later a third. It is then ready for the tanner. ‘The tanner, as a matter of fact, ts the man who has made shark fishing feasible and profitable proposition. Until recent years, although it had been ‘proved’ that sharkskin was among the most durable of leathers, ft was not found possible to treat it commercially with any great degree of success, But new methods have de- veloped. It 1s now possible so to soften the toughest hide that tt may be put to practically every purpose for which the best bullock leather Is used. Tt Is also. possible now to re- tain not only the markings that make sharkskin #0 distinctive, but leo Its Femarkable qualities of durability. ‘At present, the most articles manufactured" from sharkskin are footwear, handbags, attache cases, and luggage. ‘The hide of the carpet shark, with its distinctively mottled shagreen, Is used for exclusive feminine foot. wear and pocketbooks. ll From the Big Liver. Once you have seen sharks’ liver you ean understand why the shark is such a bad-tempered fellow. He is probably the liver champion of the ‘world—that 1s, In polnt of size. Seem- Ingly he apeciallzes In big livers, for they put his other organs to shame. Pindimar’s record in this respect ts that of « 15-foot tiger who had a liver 18 fect long welghing 200 pounds. ‘And other sharks are proportionately equipped. "This dreadful-looking organ soon foses its entity, or whatever is the anatomical equivalent. Tt is dumped Into a big container and cooked, Heat breaks down the ofl cells and the re- sulting product is shark-liver oll, the nearest blood relation to cod-liver oll. Tf anything. it smell worse, but physi-| clans say that (ts medicinal qualities are the same. The liver referred to, {a its liquid medicinal state, ylelded 16 gallons. | THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.

Ngee rly gs ato a be eres ant pics checks and stripes are making rap- fa strides toward the center of the stage, Nor Is thelr vozue confined to any one phase of fashion. The in- fiuence of these colorful, designful patternings is being felt all along the line from bathing and beach togs, sports outfits, tailored suits and day- time frocks even unto the most formal of evening gowns, Having turned thelr attention in this Alrecton, designers are keying up the mode to'a dramatic point, tuning it, as It were, to every hour of the day, on into scenes of midnight festivities, Beginning early in the morning plaids and stripes are scheduled to make their appearance In the form of ador- able little gingham frocks to which are given an added charm via fresh- looking pique and organdie detatis. As to stripes they are choosing the very che crinkly seersucker for thelr ave- nue of expression, Go into the smart- est dress shops and you will see more cunning plaid and striped wash frocks than you have seen for seasons and Seasons past. Por Inter in the day the program carries to a series of charming plald woolens which are detightsomely youthful In their make-up. ‘Two such fare Mustrated in this group. ‘The model to the left Is of lightweight gaily colorful Scotch plaid flannel with white organdie trim.

It is styled of a dark green crepe which has ‘an almost invisible patterning in its weave, The sleeves show the trend to modified fullness which is being so strongly advocated for the coming sea- son, The belt is of newest type, in that the metal arrangements as you see here is the last word in girdle fastenings. The scarf ends are cas ually drawn through a metal ring matehing those at the waistline. By the way, the latest metal trappings which adorn the new costumes are in copper. They blend handsomely with the tangerine and brown shades which ‘ere now 60: fashionable, ee Oe, Pp | A or an Acq ee Re gt The plaid for the other dress to the right Is more modest In Its tone, It is a one-piece though It gives the im: pression of a two-piece. Green and metal decorate it, ‘The collar and cuffs are of eyelet emproidery. As you will see by the Jaunty scarf and beret pictured, millinery, as well ‘as our sults and our coats and dresses, is inclined to follow a checkered career this season, Matching sets such as this are one of the smartest fads of the present moment, ‘The com binatioh Is black and white In this instance. The pompons of the same wool yarn add a touch of eoquetry to the headgear which is most fetching. However, the group Illustrated does not begin to tell the story of plaids and checks as they are now being fea tured. To see plaids In a full measure of glory, one must vizualize the stun ning new swagger coats which are made of soft woolens which are pat terned in big bold plaids, the ambre plaiding being especially goodtooking. ‘The continued call for striking con trast, which fs more than ever in- sistent for spring, has proved an urge to designers to make up either gor. geous plaids or demure neutral checks with plain material, Outstanding for spring are the ensembles whieh top a dress of plaid or check woolen with a three-quarter coat the lines of which flow loose from the shoulders, with the plaid or check of the dress re- peated in a conspicuous scarf. ‘© 1058, Western Newspaper Union. TEA GOWN IS BACK IN FASHION WORLD ‘The tea gown—relic of the mauve decade—is back in the fashion spot light. For tea for ten or dinner for two the style world has revived its trail- ing lines, ‘The 1932 version, however, is slim, slinky and the last word tn ehie. No ruffles or flounces mar its simple lines; no “fashion froth” ap- Dears in its design, Luxurious fabrics fashion these new tea gowns. Jewel-tinted velvets bor dered in fur and laces draped over shimmering sliks are favorites. ‘The bodices are simple and fitted, sleeves plain or drooping, while the skirts cling closely about the hips and sweep into a train. Tucked-in-Blouse Being Revived by Designers With the abandonment of the prin: cess-walsted skirt, Paris couturlers seem to have revived the tucked-in blouse, which Ianguished for a season, or if the blouse is not tucked In, it stops at the waistline Just over the skirt. Because of the high neckline on so many, the style of fastening them at the top of the back by a short row of buttons {s a feature to be noticed, as this permits the blouse to be slipped ei over the bead Angora Beads Suggested as Splendid Neck Warmer Angora bends strung together by lit tle disks of copper are Just about as unusual looking as they sound. ‘The “fuzz” of the angera anight tickle a sensitive throat, but for oth ers It forms a warm little circle under the chin and takes care of bones so unbecoming to those unfortunate enough to have them, The best com Dination Is white and copper, but col ors may be bad to match particular ensembles. Little Shirred Hate ‘The cutest little hats of closely shirred crepe feature a new shade of pale belize, particularly smart with et ther black or brown. ‘They fit the head closely, reveal a new slant over the eyes and are altogether intriguing. A STRONG PROTEST Relative to Privileges to be Accorded Certain Students at Ohio State University, —The Inter- Racial Council. 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 Agriculture, to the Home Manage- ment House which the University maintains as a training center for the course in Household Management. Miss Weaver registered in the Lab- oratory 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 Catalogue of the College of Agricul- ture 1932-1932, pg. 60.) _Reserva- tions for residence are made in ad- vance, 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 (o return this communica. tion to the office of the Department of Home Economics. These are the facts of the case. Evidently it was found out 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 thesame 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 appll- cants. 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 cam- pus of this University race prejudice ‘of any kind, whether under open or tacit sanction, ought not exist, Wherefore’ tho undersigned stu- dent organizations, as members of the Inter-Racial Council, wish to register their disapproval and_ pro- test upon the action in the case of Miss Doris Weaver. .

MISSTATEMENTS. Ohio State University officials in their brief, filed in the State Su- preme Court, last Saturday afternoon, replying to the Doris Weaver charges of race discrimination at the insti- tution, denied the same, adding that they “neither violated the provisions of the state nor federal constitution,” in the Weaver case. The university authorities, according to the daily newspapers of last Saturday, contend that “Miss Weaver was “offered a room” in the Home - Economies school-building and that she “re- fused to accept.” All of which (their statements and contention) are untrue, As a matter of fact, Ohio State University officials vios lated our Ohio Civil Rights Law when they offered Miss Weaver “one side of the Home-Management House in which to reside (alone) while pur- suing her Home-Economics studies," at the same time holding “the other side of the house” for whites of var- fous races. This is color or race dis- crimination, pure and simple, which is expressly forbidden by our Ohio Civil Rights law. Miss Weaver was not “offered a room in the building” according to President George W. Rightmire's statement to the Ohio House of Representatives judiciary committee, week before last, Even it she was and students of other races were not given “a room in the bufld- ing'’ to themselves, still it would be unlawful race discrimination — be- ‘cause all other students of different races were not so treated. Authori- tes of public institutions maintained by the tax-payers of the state of Ohio cannot do this sort of thing and still be within the law of the state, Miss Wilhelmina Styles, who graduated from 0.8. U., last year, was also dis- criminated against. It ‘was the cases of the Misses Weaver and Styles that gave rise to the strong protest of the student organizations of the uni- versity which we published, and have kept standing in The Gazette for sev- irat weake. RETAIN DIRECT PRIMARY. We greatly regret our inability to attend the Ohio Senate election: committes hearing, Thursday of this week at Columbus, on the pending proposal to abolish the primary in Ohio. It these measures pass—one in the Senate and one in the House —any and all independent groups of voters such as ours aro thru in Ohio public affairs—as to a voice. This same proposal passed the Senate two years ago—by a vote of 27 to 2— while the people were sound asleep, but never was able to pass the House of Representatives. ‘This time, they are being warned of the impending evil. The move to submit the repeal of the direct primary amendment and 0 back to the old “convention” days is an insult to every sincere voter in Ohio, regardless of the complaint that 'too few people attend the pri- mary, at times. The people's pri: mary’ in Ohio was adopted, Sept. 3, 1812, by 166,000 majority ‘at a spe- cial election, ‘with only men voting. Less than seven years ago—in 1920 —it was voted on again (the pro- ‘posal now up) and the primary was retained by a vote of 743,313 to 405, 152.

Segregation Used for Profit—Duped by Politicians of Both Races—Loss of Respect—Interesting. Washington, D, C.—It I had not studied history, and especially the history of the ‘Negro, I would feel very much discouraged and give up ‘the fight, for there is very little in the present plight of the Negro to in- dicate a trend upward. History teaches, however, that there may come a’ better day. At one time we were real men, We may once more have the courage to stand up and speak out like men, as Negroes did In the eighteenth century. ‘The race in the twentieth century 1s beset with grafters who are fleecing the masses and with politicians who for the pro- fits of segregation have joined with the traducers of the Negro “to keep the race in its place.” The moral, collapse of the Negroes who worked out the ‘jim-crowing” of the race in the George Washington Bicenten- nial is a striking case in evidence. The eighteenth century Negroes in this country never would have agreed to such a humiliation. They had never known the blighting effect of the cotton gin and the exploitation system which it produced to debase the Negroes to the plane of beasts. Slavery remade the Negroes during the nineteenth century, however; and mentally the race in the twen- tieth contury fs still enslaved. The temporary enjoyment of citizenship during the reconstruction was not sufficient to remove from the Ne- groes the inferiority complex; and the agents of race hate have been busy ever since in forcing the race to labor under this all but fatal han- dicap. During the eighteenth cen- tury Negroes served side by side with the whites as privateers and soldiers. In the twentieth century the Negroes are jumping over each other to or- ganize “‘jim-crow” regiments in the State militia and the United States Army. It is bad enough when these things are forced upon us. During thie colonial wars, largely between England and France, the Negroes were looked upon as holding the bal- ance ot power, for they might cross the frontfer and become the allies of the French and Indians, as expressed in the “Pennsylvania Gazette” on July 31, 1746, and in the “Maryland Gazette” of March 20, 1755. During the American Revolution the Negro again was feared because of holding the balance of power. At first George Washington and his generals ex- eluded Negroes from the army, but when they saw the British bidding for their support and learned that 25,000 of them had actually gone over to the British in South Carolina, George Washington reversed himself and called back to the army the Ne- groes Whom he had excluded. In our day the Negro has the balance of power in several spheres, but no one ever thinks of us in this respect, in- asmuch as we can be so easily duped by politicians of both races who swing our thoughtless masses _in whatever direction the bosses pay them to carry us. Who respects a Negro today and why should he? During the eighteenth century we hear of cases of Negroes preaching to mixed congregations like those of Gowan Pamphlet in rural Virginia, Josiah Bishop in Portsmouth in that same state, James Willis in the Gulf District, and Lemuel Haynes in New England. Today a Negro preacher would immediately suggest segrega- tion so that he might get these Ne- groes off somewhere in a corner and “work” them for what they are worth. On June 14, 1793, the “Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser”. reported the case of a Negro preacher who had run away from his people because they had ceased to live with him on terms of perfect equality. Today you would be more apt to find one running to such people on this account to capi- talize in some way their efforts to segregate. A job might thereby be provided for himself or some mem- ber of his family. The profits of segregation are very alluring. The Negroes of the eighteenth century ‘were not content to be “Jim-crowed.”” They felt that they had a perfect right to go anywhere others went or to do anything which others did. ‘They won, therefore, in many 2 bat- tle for social recognition. ‘The in- tellectuals of color of that time of- ten expressed their courage in quot- ing from the Roman poet these words given in their historic setting by a free Negro, writing in 1788: “I am a man, and deem nothing that relates to man a matter of indifference to me.” Going still further, as did a Negro writer in 1789, “Can it_be contended,” said he, “that a differ- ence of color alone can constitute @ difference of species? If not, in what single circumstance are we dif- ferent from the rest of mankind? What variety is there in our organi- zation? What inferiority of art.in the fashioning of our bodies? What imperfection in the faculties of our minds? Has not a Negro eyes? Has not a Negro hands, organs, dimen- sions, senses, affections, passions?— men voting. Even more dangerous to the peo- ple, however, is House Bill No. 56, introduced by Representative Ches- ter K. Gillespie of this city, provid- ing for a pre-primary convention of delegates who will nominate the tickets in state, district and county. If passed, it becomes effective in ninety days, without the people hav- ing any voice in the matter. This Dill does not lessen election expense in any way. The intelligent and thotful voters of this state will pun- ish severely the persons and party responsible for the repeal of the di- tect primary lawe. fed with the same food; hurt with the same weapons; subject to the same diseases; healed by the same means; warmed and cooled by the same summer and winter as a white man? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? Are we not exposed to all the same wants? Do we not feel all the same sentiments? Are we not cap- able of all the same exertions, and are we not entitled to all the same rights as other men?” ‘The Negroes and poor whites of the eighteenth cen- tury usually worked in co-operation against common foes, the exploiters and enslavers. In the twentieth cen- tury these two oppressed elements have been separated by the systema- tle teaching of race hate so that they may never unite and wield against their oppressors the power which these combined forces might have. Neither element in the twentieth cen- tury, therefore, has been able to get anywhere, and at present both seem to be on the verge of starvation. A hint to the wise ought to be suf- ficient. What is the advantage of having power which you never use? While the eighteenth century Ne- stoes, although few in number be- cause most of them were slaves, de- Vised every means to put to good use fall the resources at hand, the Negroes of the twentieth century are doing practically nothing but worrying the white man for a hand-out. The Ne- groes of our day instead of using the ballot as a weapon of defense have donated it to the corrupt Republican machine. Instead of using their eco- nomic power they haye enriched for- eigners on the corners of their streets and in their alieys. Instead of find- ing some virtue in their own ranks and organizing themselves for co-op- erative effort they have learned to admire others so thorouchly that in the present state there is little moral courage to fight against odds. An organizaion taking up the battles of the race, therefore, has as many Ne- groes as whites to fight. The worst sort of criticism I have ever heard of the N. A. A. C. P. came from Ne- groes who were afraid that the strug- gle for ‘equal rights might interfere with their graft. | ‘Carter G. Woodson.
