Ringgold, La.—Two brutal lynchings, one of which was carried out by officers of the law, occurred, Feb. 19, 133 Nelson Nash, age 24, was murdered here and his body riddled with bullets by a sheriff's posse, which arrested him earlier in the day on suspicion of murdering a banker and assaulting his wife. The banker, J. P. Batchelor, was killed by an unidentified burglar, who invaded the Batchelor home and forced them to accompany him to the Ringgold Bank where he hatched an attack on the safe. Batchelor refused to open the safe, and in the struggle that followed he was killed. The burglar wore no mask, and Mrs. Batchelor had full opportunity to study his face. She refused to identify Nelson as the burglar when the sheriff brought him before her. In the first reports of the crime, there was no mention that the burglar was a "Negro" which in itself exposes the frame-up nature of the arrest of young Nash. Unsurprisingly, the sheriff's pose of a local white brushes took him to the woods and strung him up from the wood, after first attempting to burn him at the stake but finding the wood and brush too wet to accommodate that form of lingering death and torture. The second lynching, on the same day, occurred at Alken, S. C., where George Jeter was beaten to death by a gang of four white brutes, who accused him of "stealing liquor from them." Before he died, Jeter identified the following men as his murderers: Stamp Floys, Jim Hancock, Jim Patterson and W. M. Hitt. The local authorities have made the gesture of arresting the four men "pending an inquest", but hardly any one in Alken is so unsophisticated as to expect the courts to convict them. LINCOLN TO GREELEY! The Martyred President's Stand on the Two Great Issues of the Time, Saving the Union and Emancipation. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Aug. 22, 1862. Hon. Horace Graceley, New York City. Editor, The Tribute, New York City. Dear Sir; I have just read yours of the 19th instant, addressed to myself thru the New York Tribute. If there be any inferences of fact which I may know to be erroneous, I do not now and here controvert them. If there be any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it reference to an old friend whose heart I have always supposed to right. As to the policy "I seem to be pursuing," as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. I would save the Union. I would save it in the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored, the nearer the Union will be. I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who object is to save the Union, and not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing the slave, I would do it; if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the Colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union; and what I forbear, I do because I believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause; and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my views of official duty; and I intend to make my off-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Our Retiring Republican Assistant Attorney General of Indiana Indianapolis, Ind.—The record, established by Atty. R, L. Bailey, retiring assistant attorney general of this state, of never having lost a case during his tenure of office came in A. E. H. for much praise, recently, by citizens and fellow-members of the legal fraternity. He came from Alabama to this city and established a record that is without parallel. During his tenure of office he briefed many cases and not one of them involved our work. Enter to his appointment Atty. Bailey won a number of important victories, including the saving of Frank Scott from the electric chair just 30 hours before the execution was to have been held, and the liberating of two boys who got life in South Bend when found guilty of charges of armed robbery. He has also represented many fraternal organizations and civic associations in the courts of the state. Warren J. Cedar Ave., age 55, of 4313 Cedar Ave., died Feb. 24. Funeral. Tuesday. He was a member of one of our oldest families and is surpassed by a brother and sister, Mr. John Cedar and his sister Cedar, who have the earnest sympathy of many friends in this community.

The organization owns the beautiful Camp James A. Farley, six miles from Poughkeepsie, N.

Are Conditions Existing Today on Government Work in the Southland—Another Protest! New York City. Mr.-Cher. Walley White secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said a recent address over WLWL. this city. May I utilize the few minutes which remain to me to cite some of the conditions which the American Negro faces today, it matters not how intelligent, how well educated, how honest, how ambitious he may be? Great as is the suffering through unemployment in the country at large, that suffering is proportionately greater than in the Negroes. Prior to the World War, Negroes were generally barred from northern industries and the surplusage of Negro labor in the South caused that labor to be lightly regarded. The war stopped immigration from Europe and gave opportunity for the first time to Negroes to enter industry. Unfortunately, the period between the opening up of industry to Negroes and the present economic crisis was not long enough to permit the Negro as a whole to up the population, generally of unemployment, nor wholly to break down prejudice against him on the part of employers, labor unions, his fellow-workers, and the public at large. As a result, there is tragic truth in the statement that Negroes invariably are the last to be hired and the first to be fired. Today, in the larger industrial centers like Chicago, Negroes form four per cent. of the population but sixteen per cent. of the unemployed. This applies to practically all of the industrial centers. The result is poverty so dire as almost to be incredible. Even when special situations give the Negro an opportunity, to work, he is robbed of the benefits. Let me cite the present enormous project, financed by the federal government and paid for out of the national treasury for which Negroes are taxed at the same rate as whites, to control the flow of the Mississippi River and to prevent repetitions of the disastrous floods which have occurred along that river. This is one of the greatest engineering feats of times, so enormous as almost to dwarf the imagination. The building of leases always and other necessities controlling the river must of necessity be done under a broiling sun that carries a temperature at times as high as one hundred and twenty degrees. The work has to be THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compiled with any written material established one of the NEWEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

As assistant to George Immerman of 156 W. 44th St., this city, Mrs. DeCoursey has thrown herself with whole-hearted vim and vigor into the fight to raise the much-needed funds. Mrs. DeCoursey has studied music at several of the finest institutions in the country, was the story-writer for the Milwaukee band Waffles & Lasses, broadcasting over KELW, Los Angeles, Cal.; industrial secretary of our Y.

Y. producers, sponsoring the mammoth midnight benefit to be given at the Lafayette Theatre, March 12, for Camp Farley. done in swamp land where malaria and typhoid fever are common. The federal government, through the War Department, let this work to contractors. A recent investigation made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a previous one made by the American Federation of Labor, have established beyond all doubt that inhuman treatment of labor is the rule of this project. The majority of the workers are Negroes, for only they can withstand the terrible working conditions, the long hours and the excessive heat. These separate investigations have established that Negroes are forced to work twelve, fourteen and sixteen hours a week. Though supposed to be paid at the rate of $1.25 a day they are mulcted of even this meager wage by a trick commissary system under which workers are required in many cases to purchase at least $4.50 worth of goods each week. They are charged this sum whether they buy that much or not. Charges are made for ice water, for the rent of a tent, and in most instances no nets are supplied, for the hiring of cooks to prepare their meals, and for other items which absorb all their wages. Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York has introduced in the Senate a resolution for a Senate investigation of these conditions and of the heartless brutality to be applied to those who are exploiting them. May I urge my listeners to telegraph their Senators urging their support of this resolution, known as Senate Resolution 300, in order that these terrible conditions may be exposed and corrected. These are only two of the phases of life with which the Negro is faced in America. Lynchings have decreased in number, but they still take place, with little public outcry against them. In many states of the South the federal constitution is willful, and the state's disfranchisement of Negro citizens. In most states of the South, where Negro children are required to go to segregated schools, they are given enormously inferior equipment. There are even cases where for the education of each white child fifteen times as much is expended as for the education of each colored child, and all this money comes from public funds. Is there any wonder that the Communists are concentrating on appeal to the Negro to help overthrow a government that oppresses them and things to go on unchallenged and almost unnoticed? --- The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Citizens of Boston are urging all organizations who celebrate Attucks Day to send a resolution to Congress asking that March 5 be made a national holiday in honor of Crispus Attucks. Just as we predicted in our last issue, the Miller direct relief plan for Cleveland was killed by City Council at its meeting, Monday. "Good job" from every viewpoint, especially from a Republican standpoint. --- The leading banks of Cleveland and those of other cities and states of the country, last and this week, gave us a telling reminder of President Hoover's statement, a few years ago, that "prosperity was just around the corner." --- The Hon. Oscar De Priest of Chicago called on President Hoover, Feb. 17, '33. Wonder what they talked about? There was much, very much indeed that would have proved very instructive that the congressman could have said to the President, relative to his people and their part in last fall's presidential campaign and on election day. "THE AMENDE HONORABLE" The Ohio Senate judiciary committee voted unanimously, Tuesday, in recommending the Joe Weaver bill, to permit Cuyahoga county commissioners to pay that worthy individual an amount up to $15,000. This practically assures the passage of the House bill in the Senate, and all it will then need to make it a law is Gov. George White's signature which we feel sure he will affix. All of which will be a "feather in the cap" of the legislative and executive governmental departments of this great state. If ever there was an individual entitled to $15,000, and much more, it is big Joe Weaver who spent in the death cell 22 of the 25 months he was incarcerated in the Ohio penitentiary, only to be finally proven innocent of the crime of murder on which he was "convicted" here in Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, about five yeras ago. GEORGIA CHAIN GANG Methods Described—Pine-Box Coffin Used—Same Old Southern Barbaric System. Speaking on the "Georgia Chain Gang" last week Friday night in Engineers' Auditorium, John L. Spivak detailed methods of punishment used by wardens and guards as he found them thru a personal investigation. Spivak spoke under direction of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners and made a plea for the nine Scottsboro Ala. boy-victims who will be given a trial this month. "Those in charge of the Georgia chain gang have improved on the use of the stock which was in vogue with the Puritans, 300 years ago," Spivak said. "After placing the victim in the stock they remove the board on which he sits and leave him suspended by his arms and legs, which project thru the stock. Probably the most horrible punishment is the sweat box. This consists of a pine box coffin standing on end in which the prisoner is locked, with only two or three holes in front of his face for air." Men can be arrested on trivial charges and thrown into the chain gang, or hired out to planters who advance the money for their fine, Spivak said. One man, he said, was more than two years paying off a debt of $10. L. E. Cole, professor of psychology at Oberlin college, in introducing Mr. Spivak, said the machinery of justice had broken down. "It has ever been set up." He charged that our legal institutions were only tools for the "exploring group." Mrs. I. B. Scott, wife of Dr. Scott, proved a very charming hostess to the Housekeepers' Art and Study club, recently. After business came games and the solving of Jig saw puzzles.

U. track and field championships, before 15,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden, Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette university came from behind to nose out Emmet Toppino of New Orleans, defending indoor sprint king, in the world-record time of 6.7 seconds in the 60-meter final. Frank Wykoff of southern California was third. Metcalfe, in capturing his first national indoor title and an American indoor championship he won last summer, equalled the previous best time for the distance, made by Toppino in the quarter final heats. The old mark of 7.2 seconds, that Toppino beat to win the championship, was surpassed in every preliminary, as well as the final.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. In recent years, the 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. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily received by a person receiving it from earning a "willful" by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6232.

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so recovered. Such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 1) Section 6233.

Listed among their victims, this season, are the Celtics who have fallen on two occasions but who have defeated the Afro-American stars an equal number of times. The Renaissance quintet is a high-salaried team, each of the 7 men drawing in excess of $5,000 for the winter's work. Top man is Capt. Fat Jenkins.

Willie Smith is the newest member of the Rens. He is a Cleveland youngster and Manager Douglass signed him immediately after watching him perform. He is one inch taller than Cooper and is becoming increasingly effective as he gains experience. The Rens have captured 61 consecutive contests to date easily eclipsing the former record of 41 held by the Rosenbelt-Celtics.

An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured from any person persons composing such mob.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob himself or other than was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of a banquet restaurant, house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, such as the right to enter a restaurant, dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it often as the reason to expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. 1930 Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It!

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

There is just one word or term in the English language more insulting to the average person than the contemptible term, "nigger," and that is "negress." Editors of daily newspapers who wish to get rid of their Afro-American patrons can do it in no surer and quicker way than by grossly insulting them by permitting the use of either one of these miserable terms in their newspapers.

Segregation is so debasing that the children of its victims are burdened even from the cradle. We should fight for ALL the rights of citizenship, but we should make ourselves worthy to enjoy them. Social equality only exists for those of the same class, is the only way to be forced thru legal enactment. Civic equality should be the heritage of all citizens. "Jim-crow Negroes" should go back to the South where the laws provide the kind of living they love. They fly up here for freedom, and yet are never satisfied until they have chums pimp upon our citizens in the schools and other separate institutions. They call it race pride! They are liars of the commonest kind! They are after the almighty dollar, which comes so easy to those who seek to segregate their people, Judasias or "thirty pieces of silver," Editor P. Dabney in The Cinchnetz Union. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Prof. Carter G. Woodson says that when Columbus reached America, "colored men had preceded him here." Our chorus, under the direction of a Miss Dorothy Richardson, won first place in the International Music Festival in Boston, Feb. 22. The famous play, "In Green Pastures," with an Afro-American cast, was given in recent weeks in a Washington, D. C., theater that bars our people. A legal battle to secure the entrance of Afro-Americans to the law school of the University of North Carolina will be launched there soon, a qualified student being ready to submit his application.

Frog raising and the col- Jestion of frogs from streams, ponds, ‘and swamps are therefore becoming Amportant activities. It requires from four to five years for the frog whose #zs are edible to Teach adult size. When the warm spring sun tempers the water in our onds, it is mating-time for frogs, A female frog may lay as many as 240 eggs. The eggs are deposited in small masses on water plants or on sticks or leaves lying in shallow water. An egg consists of the yolk—the round Black center—and the vitelline en: yelope—the surrounding transparent membrane—which begins to absorb water as soon as the ezg Is laid, and thus immediately swells to be several times its origitial size. But already danger besets the germ of life growing there. A gray fungus or mold may penetrate the envelope, sprout upon the yolk, and thus ctit off the life of the little frog before It has well begun. But if fate is kind and conditions are favorable, the central yolk, at first a single cell, begins at ‘once to grow, dividing into two cells, these Into four, these Into eight, and 80 on in the typical way. Under favorable conditions, the tad- pole hatches on the fourth day. At first it 1s a minute, flattened, yetlow- ish object, with conspicuous branch- Ing filaments, ifs gills, at one end and & coarse, rudderlike appendage, the tall, at the other. ‘The little creature at this stage can barely wriggle away from Its cast-off envelope, to squirm upward to the sur- face of the water, where it instine- tively seeks the shelter of folinge and of the shallow water, for at this age tt easily becomes the prey of small fish and other ever-hungry enemies. Development of Tadpole, Ina few days, when its mouth parts have begun to develop, it nibbles the “scum” of green algae which forms a dense mat over every submerged stone or pebble in the stagnant pond, ‘The mouth of the tadpole is not at all like that of the adult frog. A sharply hooked beak, suggesting that of a parrot, but almost microscople in size, adorns the front of the tadpole’s head and is useful as-a means of seraping and tearing at the minute water=plants and animals which it takes for food. ‘At this stage tadpoles are scaven- gers, and fortunate are they to find the -crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table in the form of fragments of fish or other food left by larger ‘and more careless banqueters in Na- ture’s storehouse. ‘This rich fare fat- tens the tadpole's body to ridiculous rotundity, His tiny, lldless eyes stare solemnly upward at the water surface, to which he must now rush every few moments for a lungful of air, as his gills are beginning to be absorbed and the has had since to depend largely on his two nostrils, equipped with valves to keep them closed and water-tight uring his submarine excursioning, augmented by a spiraculum, or breath- ing pore, on the left side of his body. His tail has developed to a thing of surprising strength and pliability, for ‘on its power alone bis safety depends in the increasingly bitter struggle to escape his countless enemies. Before the tadpole is many weeks old a pair of budlike growths sprouts near the base of the tall, and shortly these elongate into a pair of hind Jegs equipped with five toes, which elosely resemble those of the adult. At this stage a marvelous power of Tegeneration may tke place, for if a toe or even a leg is nipped off, an- other one will grow, in the place, an exact duplicate of the one lost. After metamorphosis 1s complete, this re- generative power ceases to function ‘and a limb once lost 1s not regrown, ‘Comes Out of the Water. ‘Some days after the legs appear, the right arm comes out. Now the little tadpole stays near the top of the wa- ter nearly all the time and seems very uncomfortable, and no wonder. His , left arm is developing Just where the breathing pore 1s located. As soon as it bursts through, his troubles are lessened, for now he can hop out on the bank in true frog fashion and ee ee breathe the air freely; for, as we have seen, his nostrils have been function- ing for some time as air-breathing organs. With the formation of his lezs his head structure has likewise changed. ‘The scraping block beak gave place to the wide mouth characteristle of the adult frog, the staring eyes acquired lids and ' nletitating membrane, tympanum appeared, a definite color pattern showed on the skin, and some glandular cells arranged themselves in characteristic roughened areas all over the back, Only the tall remains to tell of his former aquatic habits. Day by day it, too, 1s absorbed into the body, Just as were the gills in the very early staxes, until at last our little frog is complete- ly metamorphosed and can go freely on shore with his brothers to catch files among the plants bordering his ancestral pool. It is now the end of July, and for the next two or three months his only occupation Is eating and preventing himself from being eaten—enongh to Keep him busy and on the alert every instant, At the approach of the sharp autumn weather he is about half an inch in length apd half-grown, While he has no voice as yet, the mating call of his elders may occasionally be heard in the pool as late as September, for frogs are active over a long period of the year and the breeding season may be sald to last from April to Septem. ‘ber, reaching a peak at several dif- ferent times, as warm weather and heavy rainfall favor tt. ‘At the onset of winter everything Is silent, but with sleep, not death, Near the borders of the pond, buried under logs and stones in the mud, the little frogs have begun hibernation for the winter. A wise provision of nature slows down their life processes to suit them to this complete Inactivity and apparent inanition. Many Species Are Known, While there are about two thousand species of tailless amphibians, we Inck a corresponding number of common names for them, We must perforce all everything by the name of “froz” or “toad,” although the several fem- flies grouped together as “toads,” for instance, may be as different struc- turally and in habits from the true toad, as the lion is different from the camel, although both are mammals. While most tailless amphibians de- posit thelr eggs In water, with the tailed aquatic tadpole stage interven- ing between egg and adult, there is one tropieal American genus, Eleu- therodactylus, in which the young frox completes his metamorphosis entirely inside the egg-capsule, and when It is finally time for him to sally forth he ‘comes out and hops away among the tree tops with no tall to Impede him. Other tropical frogs lay their eggs In the rain-filled axils of giant palm leaves perlapS a hundred feet high in the air. Here it Is truly a case of rock-a-bye baby on the tree top to the little frog baby. In his wind-rocked cradle of rain- water he may have strange bedfellows. Such a bromeliad reservoir from Jamatea ylelded a young Eleutherodac- tylus and tadpoles belonging to two species of frogs, some small crabs, grasshoppers, arboreal cockroaches, a tarantula, and some earthworms, which live high In the alr in the quart or two of soil and water which collects in the junctions of leaves with stem. “Showers” of frogs and toads have been mentioned in the literature of very early times, and, while some of the tales are exaggerated, we know that showers of organic matter actual- ly do occur when the entire contents of a pond are sucked up by a whirl- wind and dropped perhaps miles away from thelr point of origin. Peculiar superstitions exist about toads and frogs in many countries. ‘Since most races of inen observe close- ly only those creatures which are either directly useful to them or poten- tially injurious, the majority of the amphibians escaped anything resem- bling close and protracted study until relatively recent years. It was not until about two centuries ago that the facts of hibernation were definitely known to science. Before that time it was believed that frogs were procre- ated from the mud—an idea proposed by no less an observer than the illus- trious Aristotle himself, CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.

The whispering frou frou of this sprightly silk will be heard on the avenues and boulevards, in smart res- taurants at teatime and during the formal dinner hour, and when the evening lights go on, its glamorous beauty will add romance to the fes: tive scene, From the signs which flash aeross the style horizon, the com- Ing Is to be one of the biggest taffeta seasons we have known for a long, tong time.

Not, of course, that every tunic dress Is a left-over by any means, any more that every dress with contrast- Ing sleeves ‘Is one that has been re- modeled. ‘The current ruling on sleeves fs that they should either con- trast or do something to attract atten- fon—and most of them do. Fashion, being so completely con- cerned in preserving the top-heavy silhouette, naturally has given up dec- orating skirts and is concentrating on above-the-belt trimmings. ‘The excep- tion to this fs the tunle frock, which Is likely as not, bordered at its tunte edge with fur, or with a ruche of some sort, Taffeta Vogue Spreads to Sate antl Accecsarias at GIR en amine come that milliner$ are creating some of thelr cholcest hats of It.

Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, Dear Sir:— Herewith find enclosed a copy of a very vicious bill which has been introduced by Mr. Kasch of Akron, and which is self-explanatory. 1 trust you will do everything in your power to help me kill this bill. Yours very truly, Chester K. Gillespie. 90th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HB. No. 341 Mr. Kasch a eee To supplement section 7981 of the General Code by the enactment of supplemental section 7981-1, rela- tive to the methods of instruction and the subjects which shall be taught at Wilberforce University. Be it enacted by the General As- sembly of the state of Ohio: Section 1. That section 7981 of the General Code be supplemented by the enactment of supplemental sec- tion 7981-1, to read as follows: Sec. 7981-1. Beginning Sept. 1, 1933, the board of trustees of the Combined Normal and Industrial (state) department of Wilberforce University is hereby authorized and directed to convert the existing (C. N. & 1. department of the) university into a combined trade, vocational and high school. The methods of in- struction, and the subjects which shall be taught at such trade, voca- tional and high school, shall be sim- ilar to the methods of instruction and subjects taught at Mooseheart, Mlinois, in the school conducted by the Loyal Order of Moose, for the fatherless children of departed mem- bers of the Loyal Order of Moose. A VERY VICIOUS BILL! What seems to be the first move of the Ohio ku klux Klan to carry Jout its vielous program, directed Jagainst our people of Ohio, made at ja state meeting of the miserable or- ganization in Columbus, a trifle over f year ago, is bill No, 341, introduced in the House of Representatives, re- cently, by the Hon. Mr. Kasch of ‘Akron. It will be found elsewhere in this paper. Our only member in the State Assembly 1s 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 call- ing 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 As- sembly, explaining to them the mis- erable attack outlined in House Bill No. 341, and politely but firmly ask- ing 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 nd earthly good excuse for any Such legislation at this time for the very good reason that the curri- ulum of the state department at Wil- berforee complies with instructions given the institution by the State Ed- ucation Department, lke all other atate clncational Suatialicnn ‘ee | HELPED BY THE WEAK. INTELLIGENT CITIZENS TOO OFTEN LACK THE COURAGE TO BOLDLY DENOUNCE THEM And Their Prejudiced White Allies—‘Kingfish” Race Leaders and Their Color-Line Institutions—Exploiters. Silently as the deep tides of the ocean, certain forces among us are lever moving to bind us more tightly in the meshes of segregation. Pub- licly they seemingly oppose, privately they endorse. Many of their follow- ing are ignorant, sincere, therefore doubly dangerous. “Interracial” Iagland must earn his salary. He is most capable, smooth, oily, wily. . . Recently he gave to the public, letters endorsing Frank Hall, the policemen’s counetl- man, and ‘at the same time con- demning the deplorable segregation in this city! How could he endorse the one, condemn the other, since both stand for the same thing. At a ministers’ meeting recently, we are informed, that he spoke softly, sweet- ly, sadly concerning the vast’ spread of sexregation—how it was engult- ing New York and other cities. He had statistics, some facts, many fis- ures. It seems that he’ considered everywhere that Negroes lived to- gether, absolute evidence of segresa- tion. ‘Unfortunatly, the ignorance of many people prevents their knowing the silliness of his argument. It is said, that he spoke of the vast. in- crease in segregation here and when asked what could be done about it, it fs said, that he said: “Nothing! AN we can do is to sit still and wait ‘ll it comes!” “Interracial” Ragland is getting, or was getting, $3,300 a year to spread that poison, and he is work- ing on his job daily and nightly. Ever backing him are some of those who have “stolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.” A preacher who betrays his race is far lower than the Judas who betrayed his Christ. The saddest part of the situation here is that numbers of our citizens of in- telligence lack the courage to boldly denounce those who are seeking to enslave them. They lack the cour- lage to inform their white employers that they will not stand for them; they lack the courage to tell those corrupt preachers who endorse them and their nefarious, insidious doc- trines, that they must vacate the pul- pits they disgrace. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” We need, in addition to the vigilance, eternal courage, it we would drive these common’ “jim- crow” Negroes back to the dens where such crawling, venomous ser- pents belong. As long as we toler- ate them, how can we blame our white brethren for looking upon us with amusement or contempt?— Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney. in tthe Cincinnati (O.) Union, “KINGPISH” RACE LEADERS! Like a milestone around the neck of the colored race in America today is that type of Negro leader who would prefer to be a “kingfish” in a Negro organization than a respected human being in an interracial group, ‘There are the innumerable little wn- standard Negro hospitals, store-front churches, orphanages, schools, day nurseries, organizations and commu- nity projects which exist as ‘jim- crow” efforts because that prejudice which rates the Negro as a sort of monkey in clothes. Many little mind- ‘ed Negro leaders, by being placed in charge of such projects, which are run on a basis repulsive to real Negro intelligence, would raise a great fuss if such undertakings were to become interracial purely because of the sel- fish reason that there would then be danger that they could no longer fatten and gorge themselves off the prejudices against their race which create their jobs, and would no long- er be able to strut as little “king- fishes” over their crushed people. In the cases of interracial projects, the mutual interracial good will’ en- hance usually results in a possible elevation of standards and methods which soon swallow up the mediocrity of the “kingfish” variety of “leader” with a prestige and identity like a drop of water in the interracial ocean, So the “Kingfish” shouts loudly for racial solidarity. Such Negro leaders are wholly lacking in a pride of race. They are really exploiters of their people; yet they will disguise their zeal for sep- arate institutions and organizations as interest and ambition for Negro Jachievement and _progress—which achievement and progress they well know is impossible so long as they lsanetion the basic plank in America’s false and pagan philosophy of race relations, which is that the Negro is essentially different and which toler- ates only separate treatment and os- tracism from the cradle to the grave in all fields of endeavor. Negro achievement is much to be ldesired, but it is only by self-respect and the lessening of prejudice through interracial co-operation and good will that it can be accomplished. It was interracial action that freed the slaves and every mile-stone of Negro progress since the Civil War has been blazed along the highway of interracial co-operation. Each Kasch’'s effort, or that of any other member of the State Assembly, to thus undertake to usurp authority in- vested in the State Education Depart- ‘ment 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 Representa- tives should not permit, because of its future probable effect upon other state educational institutions. So get in touch with your member or mem- bers of the lower branch of the State ‘Assembly just as soon as possible. rung in the ladder of Negro achieve- mont has been some phase of inter- racial action. ‘The really capable and high principled Negro leader wel- comes white collaboration on an in- terracial basis because he knows he jean meastre up to usual white stan dards of competence.—Interracial Review.

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 wat planned to serve those boys who were three years or more over age for their grade. It was thot that these boys would be happier if placed in groups together where the funda- mental subjects could be stressed. It was intended 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 Outhwaite was transferred to the department of special schools, however, opportunities open to chil dren of other taxpayers were no longer open to these boys. A small number are sent to surrounding junior high schools when the sixth ‘grade Is completed. The fate of the others is a tragedy. They mark time in Outhwaite 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 jeducation is closed to these boys simply because they are unfortunate enough to reside in the Outhwaite district. Perhaps the boy's parents do not wish his education to cease. It does not matter; he can go no farther, Why should such a school exist only in that district? Overage, or as they are now called ungraded Z Eroups, are not peculiar to the sec- tion in which Outhwaite is located. Large numbers of them are cared for in other sections of the city, but no- where else are they discriminated against as in the Outhwaite-Long- wood 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 education- al opportunities they can make use of are open to them. In February, 36 boys and girls in an ungraded Z’ group were sent to a west side junior high. ‘Their P. L. Rs (Probable Learning Tate) ranged from 100 to 65. Investiga- tion will show that the range is no lower at Onthwaite than in similar groups all over the city. ‘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 Outhwaite is being use? for either of these pur- poses, it is grossly unfair to the normal boys who attend it and should be investigated. It is not designated, equipped or run as a ‘school for mental defectives or de- Tinquents. ‘The argument has been advanced that when these boys were permitted ‘to attend East Technical they dropped gut without completing the course. Pupils not enter public high ‘schools pledged to complete four ‘years’ work. Groups are not refused ‘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 be- cause a child lives in a certain sec: tion of tho cy, he must leave schoo! with card that says he éam go no farther. As long as similar groups in other sections of the city receive all educational advantages why should these boys be denied them? ‘A Mother. Agents: $10 a Day aria ey (Shidy.
