Baker of Cleveland, Secretary of War during part of the Wilson administration, was under $500 bond, last week, at Petersburg, Va., on a technical charge of manslaughter. The charge was based on a traf accident in which Charles Lee age 64, a former Army officer, was He was struck by the fender of Major Baker's car, knocked down and his neck broken. The case was heard, Tuesday, and the Major discharged. Germans Ban American Jazz Berlin, Germany.—American jazz music, especially that brand produced by orchestras and singers, has been banned from the Berlin broadcasting station, under new government radio restrictions, in accordance with Chancellor Adolf Hitler's "Jazz War." Jazz artists, both vocal and instrumental, are extremely popular here as well as in France. HEAR! HEAR!! T ON WHAT'S DOING Atty. John E. Ballard had the following bonnet in a local daily paper of last Saturday: "Editor The News—I have ridden on the Enclid, Wade Park, St. Clair, Superior and other cars recently with their passengers bouncing along comfortably in soft, cushioned, thinned On. On other hand, the car riders on the Central and Scovil lines are rollering along on cars with hard, unprotected seats, filth floors, dirty windows-sills and windows that apparently have not seen water for weeks." The Cleveland Railway Co. has withdrawn its schedule, issued the first of last week, calling for 12-minute time on the Central line, which now has 16-minute time; and also additional cars on the Scovill Ave. line. Isn't it about time for some one to come forward and champion the cause of the "small" but loyal Republican who works for and votes the ticket year after year and makes it possible for many a "big shot" to fix himself and family so comfortably that he can bridge the gap between the "big shots" for these "little fellows," who have been thrown out of their jobs because of the overzealous "big shots," to read the riot act to all these aspiring leaders and tell them that a continued knifing of the party (in the back) will soon lead to a general migration of "little voters" to some other party or standard? What would a boss or leader amount to if he had no choice in the party, let him go about it if an honorable way by putting a slate of precinct committees in the field and if successful, we would follow his lead. But we are not supporting pirates, usurpers, or Cuttings and Johnsons. Councilman Herman Finkle deserves a whole lot of credit and praise for his effort to secure a thirty-day moratorium on water service shut-offs for non-payment of bills. The Lord knows that it is needed and by hundreds, yes thousands of deserving people thrust into the mania of water particularly, and the city. Just at this time The Rounder thinks it only fair to say that Herman, the "little Napoleon" of the third district, and his brother-in-law, Atty. Alex, Bernstein, Republican leader of Ward 12, have worked so long and faithfully assisting all needy people of that ward, and others in the district, that our people particularly have experienced. Sometimes we think that many of all classes do not fully appreciate the great work for years of Messrs. Finkle and Bernstein in the interest of the needy. MARCH OPPORTUNITY IN OPPORTUNITY for March there is a gripping story by Rudolph Fisher entitled "Guardian of the Law." Prof. Joseph S. Roucek contributes a highly interesting article on "The Forgotten Man of Europe and America." "The Group That Middletown Left Out" by Lillian Rhoades, tells in simple terms the dramatic story of the struggle of Afro-Americans, in a small town in the North, for a place in community life. W. Napoleon Rivers of Cornell University writes a brief geographical sketch of PLA-Cuban poet, Langston Hughes contributes a translation of a poem by Nicholas Guillen, and Sterling A. Brown analyses the literature of the mulatto. On the Job For 60 Years Washington. D. C.—Administrations may come and go, but Eddie Savoy, aged 78, Afro-American messenger to the secretary of State, goes serenely on with his duties. He has guarded the doors of the secretary since Hamiton Fish took over the office, 60 years ago, and probably will be retained under the new secretary, former U. S. Senator Hull. MARCH 11, 1933. THREE LEADERS OF SCOTTSBORO LEGAL DEFENSE CORPS. PETER B. From left to right: Samuel S. Leibowitz of New York City, Gen. Geo. W. Chamilee of Chattanooga, Tenn. and Joseph Brodsky, of N. Y. City, attorneys who appeared in a Scottsboro, Ala., court, March 6, to demand a change of venue for the new trial of the Scottsboro boys to Decatur, MARTIN LOST AGAIN! His $25,000 Damage Suit, Agains the Editor of "The Gazette," Messrs. Meade and Riehl, Which Has Been Pending for Over Two After a four-day trial in Judge Geo. Baer's Common Pleas court, Atty. Alex. H. Martin, last late Friday afternoon, lost his libel suit for $25., 000 damages against Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Gazette; Mr. Emmett Meade, now of Ravenna township, and Mr. John Riehl of the Riehl Printing Co., which has been pending in the court. The jury the trial, and including his charge to the jury of twelve, only five of whom were men. Judge Baer was fairness itself, to both sides of the case. Martin's assistant was Atty. Chas. W. White while Senator John P. Green, dear of the local bar, and Atty. Frank G. Carpenter of 1806 Standard Bank blidg, this city, most ably represented Messrs. Smith, Meade and Riehl. The Senator was brilliantly forceful in his address to the jury, while Atty. Carpenter was painstaking and well-inclined in his visiting talk. The jury was not long, possibly less than an hour, in reaching a verdict for the defendants. This was the Senator's fifth victory in legal contests with Martin, he informs the Gazette. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Samuel A. Pease (Dem.) is assistant district attorney of Kings County, New York. Massachusetts has a "proclamation statute" which fixes March 6 as "Crispus Attacks day." The trial of former bank president, Jose Binga, of Chicago has been postponed until March 20. Chas. A. Diggs (Dem.) of Detroit has been appointed a member of the Michigan state parole board. President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt carried their "colored servants" with them from Albany to the nation's capital. Atty. Wm. C. Hueston has resigned his position in the P. O. department at Washington, D. C., to which he was appointed in 1930. The state supreme court of New Jersey has just rendered a decision that wipes out segregation in the public schools of that state. The case went to the court from Trenton. Mrs. Mary Welter, age 70, for 20 years in the employ of Mrs. Arthur S. Parker (white, deceased) of Pontiac, Mich., who died, Feb. 13, has been widowed approximately $50,000. Rev. Shelton H. Bishops has just succeeded his father, Rev. Hutchins C. Bishops, as rector of St. Phillips P. E. church, N. Y. City. The elder Bishop served the church for forty-seven years. Emperor Haile Selassie I, of Abyssinia, Africa, has engaged Frank de Halpert of London, England, to assist in stamping out slavery in his domains, a job he hopes to complete in fifteen or twenty years. 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." It is so easy for many of our people to use the superlative, isn't it? SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PETER H. Ala., and were successful. Gen Chamlee is chief defense attorney. Mr. Leibowitz, a well-known criminal attorney who volunteered his services in behalf of the Scottsboro boy-victims, will conduct the trial of Mr. Leibowitz has been associated with the case from the first, and will continue to act as as Prime Sport News Ward Again. At the triangular meet of Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, 4, held at Champaign, Ill., March 4, Willis Ward, Michigan's giant "Afro" star, set a new armory record of six feet and six inches, in the high-jump, to help his school capture the meet. "Gorilla" Stops Oster. Toledo, O.—"Gorilla" Jones of Akron, American middleweight champion, won a technical knockout over "Wild Willie" Oster (white) of Boston, in the third of a scheduled ten-round non-title bout here, last week Tuesday night. Jones weighed 159 1/2 and Oster 165 pounds. The "Rens" in Ashtabula. Ashtabula. O—The Renaissance basketball team of New York City stopped here, Tuesday, en route to Cleveland, to battle the Ashtabula Gulf Refiners, playing at West Junior High gym to a crowd of 1,500. That many turned out here recently to see the Refiners play the Celts of Cleveland, who beat the Ashtabulans, 45 to 40. Owens and Albritton Star. Jesse Owens and Dave Albritton, our all-around athletes, led the East Tech tracksters to a $52 \frac{1}{2}$ to $33 \frac{1}{2}$ victory over their neighborhood rivals, Central High, last week Friday afternoon. Owens copped the 50-yard dash, the 50-yard high hurdle, and the 50-yard jump while Albritton starred in the latter event to win with a 6-feet 1-inch leap. Girls' Team Coming Fast The Cedar "Y" Girls handed the Youngstown Emerson Girls basketball team a 19 to 2 lacing here, last Saturday evening, in the fastest and cleanest game that the home team has played for a month or more. At the half, the score was 15 to 0. Just watch the team and see what co-operation can do. The line-up: Margery Williams, R. F.; Dolly Murrell, L. F.; Alice Murrell, C.; Vashi Parker, R. G., and Alice Greene, L. G. Kid Chocolate's Mansion. Havana, Cuba—In a nice, large, stone house, costing $15,000, located in Mariano, a good residential district of Havana, lives Eligio Sardina, better known as "Kid Chocolate," featherweight champion of the world. Five or six years ago, the Kid was selling newspapers at the downtown. Now he rides downtown in a big expensive American auto. He is king of Havana "Boyville," and his many relatives inhabit his home. Apparently the Kid provides for him all, including his mother, wife, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. But mostly consists "Chocolate" has made around $300,000, most of it in New York City. He has invested much of his savings in Havana real estate and owns five or six homes. He has drawn as high as $15,000 a fight right here in Havana when times were good. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY Demanded by Secretary Eichelberger of Zion A. M. E. Church, an Exceptionally Able Address. Larchmont, N. Y.—Rev James W. Eichelberger Jr., of Chicago, militant secondary Christian Education of the Zion A. M. E. Church, demanded equality of opportunity in every sphere of activity without regard to race in an address here, Feb. 19, before the young people of the exclusive Larchmont Ave. Presbyterian church (white). He contended that a fundamental principle upon which American democracy rests, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, is the Constitution and also a fundamental principle upon which Christianity rests as expressed by its founder, is equality of opportunity for all mankind. "It is not merely a matter of what effect injustice has upon the Negro," he said. 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 compounded with any will immediately established. NEWBEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. PETER H. sociate counsel. Other lawyers of the Scottsboro defense are Irving Schwab of New York City, who is now in Birmingham; John H. Greer and Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., young Afro-American attorneys of Atlanta, who are also conducting the defense of Angelo Herndon and six others in Atlanta for the I. L. D. question of the effect upon white people, who profess allegiance to American democracy and to Christianity and at the same time violate the fundamental principle of both by the treatment accorded other races. The American social structures are crumbling and there will not be one stone left upon another unless America gives every race a chance." Dr. Eichelberger thought it futile to pray for world peace until we have the courage to put into effect peace among all races and classes within the nation. He closed with an appeal to youth to lead the way as older generation burgled civilization and forum that followed the address, several expressed surprise that Afro-Americans were denied admission as patients and internes in hospitals in New York as cited by the speaker. CHARGE 5,000,000 LIVE IN SLAVERY. Advocates of Abolition Say Many of These Are Tortured. London, England.—There are 5,000,000 slaves in the world today according to Lady Simon, wife of the British foreign minister and a leading figure in the fight for the complete abolition of slavery. And "bitterly ironical, the shepherds there are slaves in Liberia, W. Africa, a state which was formed by American idealists, who many years ago imported some 10,000 liberated slaves from the southern states of America, believing that they, who had suffered so much, would prevent anything resembling slavery in the lives of other people. "But this handful of American Negroes has set aside enslaving the native people with a ruthless cruelty rivaling the worst accounts of slavery in the past." Urges Abolition Lady Simon urges united public opinion to help in the "first whole-hearted attempt in history to abolish slavery throughout the world. Slavery is a crime against the human race and no one who is even faintly aware of what it means could rest content until it was blotted out. Today the total number of slaves in the United States is 5,000,000. There are many systems of slavery ranging from kindly care to conditions of the most hideous degradation. As to cruelty, there is no alarming mass of evidence to prove that all the old evils exist to this day. There are still the massacres and outrages accompanying slave raids, the brutal callousness of slaves, the whip, the chain gang—even branding, torture and death. "Mr. Coates, a missionary of over twenty years' experience, referring to child-shares in China, says: 'Flogging, suspension, the pouring of boiling water over the hands, the amputation of the finger joints, gagging and trying up for torture with hot irons, and similar cruelties are not uncommonly practiced upon China's slave-children.' Hacked to Pieces in China "Another missionary of more than 40 years' experience in China, Mrs. Dymond, states that some slaves are hacked to pieces, pinched with red-hot tongs, boiling oil poured down their throats, hung up by their wrists, and for these dreadful deeds no punishment is meted out." "Haile Selassie, Emperor of Abyssinia, not long ago issued an edict ordering the manu-mission of all the slaves in his Ethiopian kingdom. We will be the subject of this edict? There is no country in the world where slavery is so deeply rooted as Abyssinia. Reliable witnesses state that every Abyssinian owns one or more slaves. Some of the Ruses own as many as 15,000 each. All told there are at least 2,000,000 slaves in Abyssinia. Slavery is upheld there by the Christian Church, and the large slave owners use slaves as a sort of currency, exchanging them for arms and ammunition." Luther King, well-known local tenor, is on the teaching staff of Cleveland Music settlement, E. 93d St., it is said.

It IS something to keep any business going for half a century.— Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer. The Gazette is indebted to its highly esteemed conferee and friend of many years' standing, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, for the use of the Doris Weaver and R. L. Balley cuts used in The Gazette, last week. --- Pennsylvania's attorney general, Wm. Schnader, knows his state has a civil rights law and that, under it, it his his clear duty to join in Atty. Raymond Pace Alexander's suit against the school board of Berwyn, Pa., because of its fool effort to exclude more than two hundred Afro-American pupils from a newly built township school. --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a printed copy of Samuel Untermyer's address, Feb. 27, "33, before the University Club of Los Angeles, Cal., on "Hobson's Choice Between Government Ownership and Bankruptcy of Railroads." For many years Mr. Untermyer has been a leading attorney of New York City and one of the ablest in the country. --- The school board of Berwyn, Pa. is trying to exclude more than two hundred of our people from a newly built township school. This is in Pennsylvania and not Georgia. Have you noticed in recent years how prejudice against our people has increased by leaps and bounds here in the north while our people, generally, sleep on or sing. "You May Have All This World But Give Me Jesus." --- Because the Washington, D. C. Daily News printed an editorial criticizing the National Theater of that city for excluding our people from the presentation of "The Green Pastures," the theater has withdrawn all of its advertising from the paper. Now, let our people more than double their patronage of The News and encourage that publication to continue to help fight damphool racial and religious prejudice. More power to and support of that paper. It was the National theater of Washington, D. C., which in recent weeks barred all of our people from witnessing its presentation of the play, "The Green Pastures," which to be in Cleveland at the Hanna theater, for two weeks, opening April 17, '33. It is timely to call attention to the fact that Charles Summer's famous civil rights law, still effective in the District of Columbia, is never invoked by our people there in an effort to get any of their rights under the law that are denied them by prejudiced persons, theatrical and otherwise. Yes, we are "a great people!" The recent death of the Hon. George W. Hays of Cincinnati, a former member of the Ohio Legislature, removed one of the finest characters of the race. Intensely loyal and active in religious, civic and lodge matters for many years, our people of Ohio, particularly, will miss him for many, many years to come. For sixty-one years our long-time friend had been a federal court crier and was a trustee of the State Department at Wilberforce and NOT a trustee of Wilberforce University. FIVE MILLION SLAVES Lady Simon of London, England, wife of the British foreign minister and a leading abolitionist of today, informs the world that there are five million human beings still enslaved and cites Liberia, W. Africa, and China as being two of the world's worst offenders. It seems almost in- Kentucky Farmer Grows Bigger and Better Tobacco A man in a hat is handling a large leaf in a field of tobacco plants. H. B. Rhodes of Lynn Grove, Ky., knows how to grow tobacco at a profit. He is shown above in his tobacco plot which last season gave an average yield of 1,100 pounds per acre of dark-fired tobacco of such fine quality that it sold for $12\frac{1}{2} cents a pound while the average price in his section was only 5 cents a pound. Mr. Rhodes ascribes his remarkable success to the fact that he fertilized with Agrico for Tobacco at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. He had 40 acres of tobacco planted in 1932, which because of increased yield of 400 pounds per acre, and a premium of $7\frac{1}{2} cents a pound, gave him an additional profit of $1,200 on his tobacco. credible that Africa's only black Republic, originally populated by slaves from this country, is an offender, to say nothing of being one of the worst in the world, rivaling backward China. About the only encouraging note in Lady Simon's expose is the announcement that "Haile Selassie, Emperor of Abyssinia, not long ago issued an edict ordering the manumission of all the slaves in his Etheopian kingdom" in North Africa in the face of the fact that "there is no country in the world where slavery is so deeply rooted as Abyssinia. --- MITCHELL RETURNS Major General Blanton Winship (white), judge advocate general of the U. S. army, has been appointed a special American representative to Liberia, replacing Hon. Chas. E. Mitchell of West Virginia, a member of the race who never presented his credentials as U. S. minister to Liberia, and is on his way back to this country. We take it that Mr. Mitchell is not willing to side with the Firestone Tire Co. of Akron, O., against the Liberian government in the controversy between the two which has been going on for some months. In explanation of the foregoing, we are told that the U. S. government has been unable "to reach an agreement with Liberia on slavery, rehabilitation of economic conditions and observance of contracts with the Finance Corporation of America, a Firestone Tire Co. subsidiary.

There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11. 1933. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT 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 York have been very effective in violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other non-norm 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. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution.

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.

P., said in 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 un- employment in the country at large, that suffering is proportionately much smaller than that among Negroes. Prior to the World War, Negroes were generally barred from northern industries and the surplus. age of Negro labor in the South caused that labor to be lightly re- garded, The war stopped immigra- tion from Europe and gave oppor- tunity for the first time to Negroes to enter industry. Unfortunately, ithe period between the opening up of industry to Negroes and the present economic crisis was not long enough ‘en permit the Negro as a whole to One of a Series of March Sales that puts us among the Leaders in the Bargain Field! ‘Companion Sale! aS 4 Congoleum | B31 ae RUGS Bee: me Bott pede tse $6B.99 chai, Na : CRE a 2 Also size 9x10.6 Ft. ae al ee SE | ee ee: or audi $2.99 ws ‘THE MAY CO.

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 cen- ters like Chicago, Negroes form four per cent. of the population but six- teen per cent. of the unemployed. The same proportion, generally, ap- plies to practically ‘all of the in- dustrial centers, The result is pov- erty so dire as almost to be incred- ible, 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 con- trol the flow of the Mississippi River and to prevent repetitions of the dis- astrous floods which have occurred along that river. This is one of the greatest engineering feats of modern times, so enormous as almost to dwarfsthe imagination, The build- ing of levees, spillways and other of necessity be done under a broiling sun that carries a temperature at times as high as one hundred and twenty degrees.

By RUBE GOLDT.2G 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 Marvelous Shanghai Marvelous Shanghai Shanghai's Busy Bund. Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D.C. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. TO SHANGHAI's already complex newspaper world was recently added, another foreign language paper—the Deutsche Shanghai Zeitung, which as its name implies is printed in German. Two British, two American, many Chinese, a French, and other foreign language newspapers in addition to the German language paper are an index to the cosmopolitan aspect of the city. This aspect, too, is shown in the city's latest census where are recorded peoples of fifty foreign nationalities, and Chinese speaking nearly all the numerous dialects of China. Shanghai is the greatest seaport in the Far East and empirium to one-eighth of the human race. A bold skyline of steel and concrete now rises where reeds once waved over marshy flats. The wide Bund, which throbs with the kalefdescopic march of motors, electric trams, and other traffic, extends along the water front where boat trackers once beat a narrow footpath. Paper lanterns change to neon lights for advertising display signs; beside ubiquitous Chinese cabbage now are supplies of caviar; from fishing to high finance has been the city's growth. At the end of the first year after it was formally opened as a treaty port, 1843, Shanghai could marshal for statistical evidence of foreign enterprise and industry only "23 foreign residences, one consular flag, 11 business firms, and two missionaries." Today it domiciles nearly 60,000 foreigners; 17 consular flags wave in the Shanghai breezes and others have representation; business firms are legion, and the city is headquarters for countless phases and branches of missionary and other activities. For a small fishing village, hiding behind /ortifying walls for protection against the inroads of Japanese pirates (alided frequently by Chinese of the same calling), and doing only a limited amount of trade with coastal junks, to expand and become the fifth largest seaport of the world in less than 90 years is no mean accomplishment in any land; but in China this transition is an even greater marvel. To find the reason for this remarkable transformation, one need not search far. A glance at the geography of its position reveals why Shanghai should logically take rank as China's key seaport. Ideal Distributing Center. Its situation, approximately midway along the China coast, makes it at once the most natural distributing center for extensive trade with coastal ports; but of far greater importance is the fact that Shanghai commands the vital position for commerce at the very outlet of the whole Yangtze river system. In all the world it is doubtful whether there is another equally extensive region of wealth where the people depend as solely upon a single artery of traffic and upon one entrepot as do the inhabitants of the Yangtze basin. Approximately 200,000,000 people, half of the population of entire China, live in this fertile area, utilizing the river, its tributaries, and its network of canals as their chief means of communication. Their needs, beyond those supplied directly or indirectly by the products of their own hands, make business for Shanghai. As one's steamer cleaves the muddy Yangtze waters and enters the Whangpoo on the approach of Shanghai, there is little to indicate that one is entering China unless a fleet of native fishing junks happens to be moving out to sea at the time. Today the skyline that marks Shanghai's water front is decidedly occidental in appearance and most strikingly impressive—an effect due in part, perhaps, to its contrast with the flat alfalvial plain rather than to the actual heights of the buildings. Until the present century, low, commodious Chinese buildings of two-and-three-story structures served a majority of the business concerns; but the introduction of excellently equipped modern offices has initiated a period of extensive building. In a few minutes' walk from the most up-to-the-moment districts of Shanghai, however, one can be in surroundings that are little altered since the day when the first foreign firm marked out its business site in the muddy concession. Even the Native City Changes. Wlithin the Nantao district, at the southern side of the city, lies the old Chinese settlement, or Native City. Modernization has been slow to move in this locality, and native life takes much the same course that it followed before steamship screws began stirring up the muddy Whangpoo around the fishing junks and sampans. Even here, however, there have been changes. Since the republic has come into existence, the old wall that surrounded the city has been demolished. Narrow cobbled streets with open sewers running down their centers gradually have given way to more cleanly concrete passages. Loathsome begars have somehow been reduced in numbers, although there are still more than enough of the pititable wretches wandering about the streets. A few timely fires have been a godsend in clearing out several disease traps and pestholes, which have since been rebuilt with somewhat better structures. North of the International Settlement lies the thickly populated Chinese district of Chapel. Chapel borders upon the Soochow Creek boundary and is just back of the foreign district of Hongkew. This district, before the recent bombardments, was somewhat more modern and progressive than the Native City region. Here, in Chapel, were located large Chinese business concerns devoted to exporting and importing. Here had sprung up offices, factories, and printing establishments, among the last named the Commercial Press, largest publishing concern in China, valued at one and a quarter million dollars. But the focus of all Shanghai is the foreign settlements, for in them have been the remarkable incentive and expanding force that have built this modern seaport. First allotted a portion of land on the south side of Soochow creek, following the Treaty of Nanking, in 1842, when Shanghawi was indicated as one of the five treaty ports, British business established itself and expanded, digging drains and filling canals to make the concession habitable. Foreign Settlements. Six years later France was conceded the territory between the British concession and the Native City, and only a few years afterward Americans leased land in the Hongkew district, which extends along the Whangpoong water front north of Soochow creek, where the river makes a sharp curve to the right. This so-called American settlement was never organized as such, but was incorporated with the British district in 1863. Thus came into being the International Settlement, premier nucleus of modern Shanghai. Other portions of land have been added on the west, where old-timers used to bag snipe in off days from their offices. The French chose to remain apart and today continue to administer their own concession as a separate unit. The years have seen a fast-moving panorama since the early days when the International territorial fusion came into being, received nourishment, and became what has often been termed "The Model Settlement." The administration of the International Settlement has been in many ways a unique experiment, perhaps without parallel in any other place; and results make it evident that the Shanghai municipal council has served the settlement well. The council is composed of a group of members elected by the taxpayers of British, American, Japanese, and, more recently, Chinese nationality. The number has been increased from time to time until 15 members are now included in the group that directs the affairs of the settlement of 1,008,000 people. Paving policing, planning—a multitude of tasks face the paternal body which, gratis, guards the interests of International Shanghai. A similar, but smaller, task confronts the 17 other men who handle the affairs of the French territory with its nearly 435,000 inhabitants. Because Shanghai has not always had a peaceful career, troops of the four chief foreign nationalities have been maintained to give necessary protection to the residents of the city. Shanghai has also had a volunteer corps with a personnel of more than 2,000, which was organized at the time of the stress of the Talping rebellion, in 1854, and has been mobilized at various intervals of necessity during strikes and when the pot of Chinese political affairs has been boiling over. Big bustling Shanghai, this titan of commerce in Far Asia, lives beyond the boundaries of any one settlement or nationality; it commands all of them together for its life and trade. Well beyond three million people are numbered in the districts that form the whole of greater Shanghai. Foreign Settlements. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1933. Ribbed Velvet for High-Style Coats Ribbed Velvet for High-Style Coats By CHERIE NICHOLAS RIBBED velvet for the midseason and early spring coat is a style suggestion which should prove particularly good news to the woman who covets distinction in dress. The haute monde in Paris are all enthusiastic when it comes to this handsome material, while the best shops here are displaying new coats and suits made of it in both dark and light colors. When signs of spring strir within a desire to discard one's cumbersome fur coat, comes the problem of a timely substitute which shall measure up in chic appearance to its worthy predecessor. The coats picture give a highly satisfactory answer to the question. Hibbed silk velvet fashions each of them. Notice how the strips or ribs are worked for the model shown to the left. In the body of the coat the ribs run vertically, thus contrasting the horizontal direction of the sleeves. The scarf collar takes a diagonal movement. An interesting item in connection with this soft-tied collar is that it is attached to the beige wool dress underneath, for this model is really an ensemble costume. This same coat worn with one of the now-so-fashionable separate or removable fur neckpieces makes an ideal wrap with most any gown for midseason wear. This idea of working the stripes or 1930s Here's how they are combining check with plain this season. The picture happens to be of a beach costume and is therefore made up of washable materials. However, the rule holds good for the newest spring suits which have their swagger coats lined with checked silk adding jaundice scars of the check. One piece dresses with bodice or yoke tops of check or plaid are also good style. These often have soft the fastenings of self material. Hand Knitted Effects Are Hand-kitted effects are enormously chic for all sports clothes, with the simulated patterns running a close second in popular esteem . . . rusty reds and browns, rich browns and copper colors and some stunning burnt orange shades are new and cheerful under dark top coats. ribs of the velvet in a designful way is stressed throughout the garments which are fashioned of this swagger material. One is especially impressed with this when it comes to observing the high-style resort apparel which the better shops are now displaying. Some perfectly ravishing little sports coats are shown with the most unique yokes and pockets, likewise belts, tabs, flaps, scarfs and cuffs which make a play on maneuvering the ribs of the velvet in ingenious effects by contrasting verticals, horizontals and diagonals. String color, beige and various tones of gray are favorite colors for these resort coats, which later on will feature for wraps to wear over one's summer dresses. Even more alluring are the sports coats which are made of white ribbed velvet. Of course these are strictly tailored, their only trimming feature being conspicuously large buttons. In the opinion of leading French style leaders white ribbed silk velvet qualifies as a superb material for the formal evening gown. Just so you may see how effectively it is handled we include a tiny sketch in the illustration of an evening gown which Maggie Rouff creates of white ribbed velour. The sleeves are unique in that they are fashioned of white silk floss to simulate soft feathers. © 1933, Western Newpaper Union. NEW SPRING MODELS NOW BEING SHOWN The Worth mid-season collection hints at spring fashion's trend and introduces a new range of colors, but principally combinations of beige, gray, sand, black and white in a delightful manner. Aside from the fur trimmed long coats and suits shown at this time, Worth has shown a number of models which will have a decided influence on spring fashions. These are the flaring shoulder capes, worn over light wool or crinkly crepe frocks with fur around the bottom. "Fontainebleau," a black and white crepe satin afternoon ensemble, is already a favorite with Parisian clients. Its bodice of draped white satin, with its curiously shaped puffed and shredded short sleeves of the black, matching the simply cut skirt offer a smart afternoon costume, suitable for many occasions. A brownish beige woolen costume consists of a simple sports dress and jacket with cape sleeves, the distinguishing feature of which is its trimming of stitching. It is called "Evreux" and is particularly young and charming. Bustles Are Back Again, but in Pleats and Folds The younger generation will have to run the dictionary, for the "bustle" is back. It was to have been expected, after the return of the Empress Eugenie huts a few months ago and the leg-o-mutton sleeves. Madame Schiaparelli is the culprit, for she stepped in where other style creators feared to tread and put bustles back where they once were flouted. Hers are not the same old mattress-like fillers of horsehair and canvas; she makes her bustles out of plats and folds. Dress Designers Return to Fringe for Trimming Fringe is in again. For evening it borders capes, capetel sleeves and scarf ends. For daytime it borders round collars. It always matches the color to which it is joined and black fringe or black and white on white are the colors most frequently used.

BILL general As- triculum at Wil- body Kitchen by De Herewith find enclosed a copy of a very vicious bill which has been introduced by Mr. Kashch of Akron, and which is self-explanatory. I trust you will do everything in your power to help me kill this bill. To supplement section 7981 of the General Code by the enactment of supplemental section 7981-1, relative to the methods of instruction and the subjects which shall be taught at Wilberforce University. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Ohio: session of the Committee 1. That section 7981 of the General Code be supplemented by the enactment of supplemental section 7881-1, 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 the subject of the department N. & I. department of the) university into a combined trade, vocational and high school. The methods of instruction, and the subjects which shall be taught at such trade, vocational and high school, shall be similar to the methods of instruction and subjects taught at Mooseheart, by the Loyal Order of Moose, for the fatherless children of departed members of the Loyal Order of Moose. What seems to be the first move of the Ohio kiu 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. It will be only member in the House of Representatives, 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 the miserable attack, 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.

Trim the table all in green, Tell each lad, and each colleen They must come in gala mood To enjoy the games and food. Top o' the marin'in to ye! One of the things that so many of us envy about the Irish is their ability to "laugh all the while, and at other times smile." Perhaps that is why we always like to celebrate the day of their Patron Saint and Patricia—by giving a party. As the seventeenth of March comes on a Friday this year (no school the next day), why not give the youngsters a break and have a party for them? You know, if you happen to be fifteen or MAR. 17 sixteen years old, nothing is more thrilling then to be able to have "the gang" in for a party. Half the fun of a party is in planning it, so why not let your offspring do most of that part of it themselves. Sometimes we grown-ups fail to understand just what constitutes "a swell time" for the crowd. In addition to that, it will teach them better, the elements essential for successful social entertainment in the crowd. If you are tactful about it, I feel sure that you will be "allowed" to supervise the table decorations and the food. Gay green will, of course, be the predominating color for your table decorations. If you happen to have a green linen cloth, now is the time for it. An enchanting contrast may be made by a crystal bowl, on some green cloth, with lilies of the valley in it. The crystal table will also be lovely with this. Or, if you use a snowy white cloth, your table will be just as effective if you use the same 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, in the case of 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.

Have your coffee delicious and piping hot, of course, and you will be able to scoop a bowl of coffee to one cup of water in making demi-tasse coffee and to use a good brand. All the better brands are blended with various types of coffee, and, in most of them, it is the full-flavored, "mild" types of coffee grown in Colombia, South America, which give them the aroma every one loves. * * * * A very easily prepared and inexpensive dessert is: Saint Patrick Fluff Dissolve the gelatine in boiling water and let cool.
