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.

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.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe After Seeing It Money from Sharks A Four Hundred Pound Shark. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. SHARKS, the much-feared denizens of warm seas, now are eagerly sought along the eastern coast of Australia, for they yield 20 commodities to commerce. The cry "shark" sends the bathers at Sidney scurrying to safety but not far north, at Pindimar, a sleepy village on the shores of Port Stephens which is the headquarters of the growing shark-fishing industry, it is good news. Founded several years ago, the shark industry of Australia has at last reached the commercial stage. Like the rabbit, the snake, the lizard, the crocodile 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 company 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 Pindarim as the scene of their operations. It had and has the first essential—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 service. Staunch little craft they were, proving themselves so with the heaviest of freights and in any weather. The first attack was launched at the entrance to the port, a stretch of water three-quarters of a mile wide. The nets were unlike any used before in Australia. They were approximately 1,000 feet long, about 16 feet deep, of an eight-inch mesh, and they were leaded 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 bottom and at the same time holding it 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 shark fishers discovered that, for once at least, the local fisherman had told the truth. There were sharks there in abundance—all sorts and sizes—"gray nurses," "whalers," "tigers," "school sharks," "blue pointers," "hammerheads," "carpets," "wobegongs," "clawed noses," "gummies," "angels" and "Port Jackson." The shark fishers learned, too, that sharks were really stupid. An egg-cup would have covered the brain of the biggest shark, an 18-footer. This lack of intelligence is demonstrated by the fact that once a shark runs into the mesh of the net, once he even touches it, his doom is more or less sealed. Though he may sense its dangerous potentialities, he will not retreat; he presses ahead. And as he does so, those thin brown cords get tangled more and more securely around his 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 lad. On the job of raising the net, the skipper is at the tiller; right up "forrad" one chap, his legs braced against a little footrail, hauls, and a little farther along the deck, taking the strain, is the lad. Hand over hand they heave and pull, until at last the "forrad man" calls a halt. "Here comes one," he says, and, below, a mass can be seen tangled in the net, thrashing and writening. The skipper leaves the tiller and lends his weight. It is 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 surface. Then for daring, speed of hand and sureness of foot, there is little to equal a trained shark fisher. The forward hand leans over and grasps the tail 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-footer is venting his rage on the net, with the forward hand having only a tiny football to give him stance and grip, then the ordinary angler comes to a realization of the difference between fishing for sport and netting for sharks. Getting Him Out of the Net. The shark's head is tangled in the net, his tall securely noosed. While the forward hand is fixing the noose, the lad has swung out the derrick arm. The tail loop is linked up, the lad works the windlass, and shark and net are hoisted into the air. Follows another hazardous operation—extricating the shark from the net. The mesh is wound round and round and fastened about his gills, and quite possibly, too, his fins and tail are entangled. With infinite patience and the speed of long experience, the fishers pull the net clear—pull it clear from razor-edged teeth, thrashing tail and madly squirming body—until at last the shark is clear of the net and hanging by its tail. In each shark bait is an outsize in baseball bats, or at least what looks like a baseball bat, only it is rougher and very much heavier. There is also a revolver of large caliber. With one of these weapons an "anesthetic" is administered to the captive. Either the bat thuds with every ounce of the welder's weight on the nose of the shark, the nose being the sharkish equivalent of the point of the human jaw, or the revolver does the job another way. On the dock the shark "surgeon" is waiting. When he dons his blood-stained apron, Bares his muscular arms, and delicately tests the keenness of his big collection of knives, the great fish is headed for a shark's equivalent of the hereafter. Parts That Are Utilized. The salvaged portions of a shark, in order of value, are the hide, the liver, the fins, and the stomach bag. Contrary to prevailing opinion, the teeth are valleless. It is generally believed that sharks' teeth pass as currency in many of the South Sea islands; but although teeth, ranging from the razor-edged 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. First the shark is killed. No stunning or near-killing this time. Next the carcass is washed and the "surgeon" sets about cutting away the fins and begins skimming. This is a most delicate job, for one false cut and the value of the bida is materially lessened. What makes the cutting so difficult is the toughness of the hide. It is rough and thick and stubborn, a veritable piscatorial coat of mall, and each cut plays havoc with the skinning knife. So much so, that after six incisions hone or oilstone must be brought into play. However in a few minutes the shark's clothes look like a cubist cross-word puzzle. Then it is tug and pull until the hide is off. After shark and hide have parted company, the latter is "beamed"—the flesh is cleared away from the inner side. Beaming completed, the hide is closely inspected. If any parts are faulty, they are cut away; and then it goes to the shed for its first coat of brine. A week later it is given another coat, and two weeks later a third. It is then ready for the tanner. The tanner, as a matter of fact, is the man who has made shark fishing a feasible and profitable proposition, Until recent years, although it had been proved that sharkskin was among the most durable of leathers, it was not found possible to treat it commercially with any great degree of success. But new methods have developed. It is now possible so to soften the toughest hide that it may be put to practically every purpose for which the best bullock leather is used. It is also possible now to retain not only the markings that make sharkskin so distinctive, but also its remarkable 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 footwear and pocketbooks. Oil From the Big Liver. Once you have seen sharks' liver you can understand why the shark is such a bad-tempered fellow. He is probably the liver champion of the world—that is, in point of size. Seeingly he specializes in big livers, for they put his other organs to shame. Pindimar's record in this respect is that of a 15-foot tiger who had a liver 13 feet long weighing 200 pounds. And other sharks are proportionately equipped. This dreadful-looking organ soon loses its entity, or whatever is the anatomical equivalent. It is dumped into a big container and cooked. Hent breaks down the oil cells and the resulting product is shark-liver oil, the nearest blood relation to cod-liver oil. If anything, it smell worse, but physicians say that its medicinal qualities are the same. The liver referred to, in its liquid medicinal state, yielded 16 gallons. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1932 Plaids and Checks Next on Program By CHERIE NICHOLAS IT IS plain to be seen that plaids, checks and stripes are making rapid strides toward the center of the stage. Nor is their vogue confined to any one phase of fashion. The influence of these colorful, designful patternings is being felt all along the line from bathing and beach togs, sports outfits, tailored suits and daytime frocks even unto the most formal of evening gowns. Having turned their attention in this directon, 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 adorable little gingham frocks to which are given an added charm via fresh-looking pique and organdie details. As to stripes they are choosing the very chic crinkly seersucker for their avenue of expression. Go into the smartest dress shops and you will see more cunning plaid and striped wash frocks than you have seen for seasons and seasons past. For later in the day the program carries to a series of charming plaid woolens which are delightfully youthful in their make-up. Two such are illustrated in this group. The model to the left is of lightweight gally colorful Scotch plaid flannel with white organdie trim. The wearability of this attractive dress for informal daytime occasion is told at a glance. NEW BELT IDEAS By CHERIE NICHOLAS This good looking daytime dress is swagger from start to finish. It is styled of a dark green crepe which has an almost invisible pattern in its weave. The sleeves show the trend to modified fullness which is being so strongly advocated for the coming season. 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 casually drawn through a metal ring matching 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 are now so fashionable. Patterns for Spring First look at spring silk collections discloses that a large percentage of both printed and woven patterning is based on variations of crossbars, plaids, stripes and checks, the rating of popularity being in the order named. The plaid for the other dress to the right is more modest in its tone. It is a one-piece though it gives the impression of a two-piece. Green and metal decorate it. The collar and cuffs are of eyelet embroidery. As you will see by the jaunty scarf and beret pictured, millinery, as well as our suits 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 combination is black and white in this instance. The pompons of the same wool yarn add a touch of coquetry 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 featured. To see plaids in a full measure of glory, one must visualize the stunning new swagger coats which are made of soft woollen which are patterned in big bold plaids, the ambre plaiding be especially goodlooking. The continued call for striking contrast, which is more than ever insistent for spring, has proved an urge to designers to make up either gorgeous plaids or demure neutral checks with plain material. Outstanding for spring are the ensembles which 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 repeated in a conspicuous scarf. TEA GOWN IS BACK IN FASHION WORLD The tea gown—relic of the mauve decade—is back in the fashion spotlight. For tea for ten or dinner for two the style world has revived its trailing lines. The 1932 version, however, is slim, slinky and the last word in chic. No ruffles or flouncements mar its simple lines; no "fashion froth" appears in its design. Luxurious fabrics fashion these new tea gowns. Jewel-tinted velvets bordered in fur and laces draped over shimmering silks 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 princess-waisted skirt, Paris couturiers seem to have revived the tucked-in blouse, which languished 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 is a feature to be noticed, as this permits the blouse to be slipped off over the head. Angora Beads Suggested as Splendid Neck Warmer Angora beads strung between by lit the disks of copper are just about as unusual looking as they sound. The "fuzz" of the angora might 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- bination is white and copper, but col- ors may be bad to match particular ensembles. Little Shirred Hats The cutest little hats of closely shirred crepe feature a new shade or pale beige, particularly smart with elf black or brown. They fit the face closely, reveal a new slant over the eyes and are altogether intriguing. BESET WITH GRAFTERS WHO ARE FLEECING THE MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE IN THIS CENTURY, SAYS PROF. WOODSON. Segregation Used for Profit—Duped by Politicians of Both Races—Loss of Respect—Interesting. men voting. Even more dangerous to the people, however, is House Bill No. 56, introduced by Representative Chester K. Gillespie of this city, providing 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 having any voice in the matter. This bill does not lessen election expense in any way. The intelligent and thotful voters of this state will punish severely the persons and party responsible for the repeal of the direct primary laws. A STRONG PROTEST Relative to Privileges to be Accordeed 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 Agriculture, to the Home Management House which the University maintains as a training center for the course. 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 Catalogue of the College of Agriculture, 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 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 experience of admittance of Miss Weaver into the Home Management House is a case of fragrant 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, which is 25% of the total citizen of Oh pay their share, such discrimination should be permitted to prevail. If anywhere, on the campus of this University race prejudice 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 approval and proclaim their action in the case of Miss Doris Weaver.

MISSTATEMENTS. Ohio State University officials in their brief, filed in the State Supreme Court, last Saturday afternoon, replying to the Doris Weaver charges of race discrimination at the institution, 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 - Economics school-building and that she "refused to accept. All of our statements and attention" are untrue. As a matter of fact, Ohio State University officials violated our Ohio Civil Rights Law when they offered Miss Weaver "one side of the Home-Management House in which to reside (alone) while pursuing her Home-Economics studies," at the same time holding "the other side of the house" for whites of various races. This is color and race discrimination, pure and simple, which is expressly forbidden by our Ohio Civil Rights law. Miss Weaver was not a student in the building" according to President George Rimmire's statement to the Ohio House of Representatives judiciary committee, week before last. Even if she was and students of other races were not given "a room in the building" to themselves, still it would be unlawful race discrimination because all other students of different races were not so treated. Authorities 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 O. S. U., last year, was also disillusioned. It was the cases of the Miss Weaver and Styles that gave rise to the strong protest of the student organizations of the university which we published, and have kept standing in The Gazette for several weeks. RETAIN DIRECT PRIMARY We greatly regret our inability to attend the Ohio Senate elections committee hearing, Thursday of this week at Columbus, on the pending proposal to abolish the primary in Ohio. If these measures pass—one in the Senate and one in the House—any and all independent groups of voters such as ours are 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—people who people asleep, but never was able to pass the course of Representatives. This time, they are being warned of the impending evil. The move to submit the repeal of the direct primary amendment and go 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 primary, at times. The people's primary in Ohio was adopted, Sept. 3, 1912, by 166,000 majority at a special election, with only men voting. Less than seven years ago—in 1926—it was voted on again (the proposal now up) and the primary was retained by a vote of 743,313 to 405,152. A majority of 338,000, in a general election with men and we 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 need same weapons? Are we not capable 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 century usually worked in co-operation against common foes, the exploiters and enslavers. In the twentieth century these two oppressed elements have been separated by the systematic teaching of this number of unfit men and wield against their oppressors the power which these combined forces might have. Neither element in the twentieth century, 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 sufficient. What is the advantage of having power which you never use? Negroes, although few in number, because most of them were slaves, devised every means to put to good use all the resources at hand, the Negroes of the twentieth century are doing practically nothing but worrying the white man for a hand-out. The Negroes of our day instead of using the ballot as a weapon of defense have donated it to the corrupt Republican economic power they have infringed on signers on the corners of their streets and in their alleyes. Instead of finding some virtue in their own ranks and organizing themselves for co-operative effort they have learned to admire others so thoroughly that in the present state there is little moral courage to fight against odds. An organization taking up the battles of the race, therefore, has as many Negroes as any sort of criticism I have ever heard of the N. A. A. C. P, came from Negroes who were afraid that the struggle for equal rights might interfere with their graft. Carter G. Woodson. DOUGLASS: THE GREATEST Richard Allen—greatest Negro born in America.—Christian Recorder. Booker T. Washington—greatest Negro born in America.—Tuskegee Student. Both publications are wrong. Your "Uncle Fred"—the Hon. Frederick Douglass—is the "greatest Negro born in America" by such a large margin that there is positively no comparison when it comes to Allen, Washington or any other so-called "Negro."
