D Marchers Led by Ruby Bates —Garner and Rainey Hear Their Plea. (Special to the Gazette) Washington, D. C.—A parade of 3,000 of our people, and others, on Monday sought from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and congressional leader intervention to frighten the "Scottishboro," a boy-victims. In the van of the march was Ruby Bates (white), the girl who after being forced to swear the lads had attacked her, appeared at the recent Decatur, Ala., trial as a surprise witness and reversed her testimony. With her were James Ford, Communist, and Wm. L. Patterson, national secretary of the I. L. D., both members of the race. At the White House they saw Louis Howe, presidential secretary, and complained bitterly upon being told President Roosevelt was too ill, with Dr. Herman Schoelt, special German envoy to receive in person their petitions. Then the marchers went to the capitol and Speaker Railer met them. "We demand congressional action for the unconditional release of the Scottsboro boys. We also present a bill of rights demanding legislation to guarantee enforcement of he 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment." Ford told Rainey. "The petition will be referred to the judicial committee." Rainey replied, "As for the Scottsboro boy, that is a matter for the courts.gress has no authority to direct release of any one charged with a crime." Ruby Bates then said: "The Scottsboro boys are absolutely innocent." "You testified once that they were guilty, didn't you?" Rainey asked. "Yes, sir." "Now you retract?" "Yes, sir." "What caused you to change your mind?" "Well, I didn't want to see innocent boys suffer." "Because you had perjured yourself?" "Yes, sir, under duress," replied the girl. Then they called on Vice-President Garner, who told them he would reiter their petition to the proper Senate committee. The march, therefore, was a success harring President and scheduled part in the proceedings.

W. cor, St. Clair Ave. and Ontario St., went next door in Murphy's Sandwich Bar, late Wednesday morning, to get a $5 bill changed for his employer. The proprietors of the restaurant being absent, their employee was unable to make the change, saying he was sorry that he could not do so. Whereupon one of a couple of southern "crackers" in the place, who heard him, said he didn't have to express himself as being sorry to a "d——m n——r." Lloyd objected to the insulting remark and was struck in the mouth by the "cracker." Then things happened: Lloyd knocked him out of the restaurant and when attacked by the other man, knocked him down, giving both aplenty without any assistance from the employees of either the restaurant or the barber shop where he is employed. Thus ended an almost perfect day for Lloyd Robinson. GOOD! SHOW OUR ARTISTS' WORK! Harmon Foundation's New York Exhibition to Be Opened in Harlem, Next Week. New Work City. The work of eighty Afro-American artists will be shown in an exhibition, opening in the fall of 2015, by the Harmon Foundation and the Adult Education committee of the New York public library. More than 200 paintings, drawings, etchings and sculptures are to be presented. The exhibition will offer one of the few opportunities given to judge what the Afro-American is doing in the fine arts. Twenty-two of the exhibiting artists are residents of this state three and a half years ago. Newark Boston, Washington, D. C. Philadelphia and from rural sections of the country. The exhibit closes, May 25. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Miss Colson has a major in mathematics and a minor in science; Miss Holmes a major in science and a minor in mathematics.

T The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The following are the candidates to succeed Clayborne George in the City Council from the 4th district when he resigns soon to stand as a candidate for "Muny" judge: L. L. Yancey, Chas. S. Smith, Holley Cooley, J. E. Hubbard and Charlie White. Our other candidates for the judgeship are: Peter Boult, W. B. Saunders, Alex. H. Martin and probably Hon. Harry E. Davis. An ordinance for daylight saving time in Cleveland will be introduced in City Council, next Monday, by Councilman Clayborne George. It will provide that the system be in effect from June 1 to Oct. 1. "I am not sure whether the Council will favor daylight saving time, but I believe an opportunity should be provided to obtain an expression from it. Many office and industrial workers may be glad to get an extra hour of daylight after work," George said. Cleveland has not used daylight saving time in the summer since it was put in the eastern standard time belt. Daylight saving time is in effect in many eastern cities which are on the edge of the eastern standard belt that the sun strikes first and leaves first. Miss Margaret Marshimeier, an employee of the city civil service commission, has, it seems, been aiding in the preparation of a thesis for a master's degree sought, at Western Reserve university, by Russell, brother of the Hon. Harry E. Davis, chairman of the commission. Summoned by the city assistant lawyer, W. Dixon Jr., the Marshalline dean that she had actually participated in the research work for the thesis, but admitted spending considerable city-time putting it in typetwritten form. The facts of the case were laid before Mayor Ray T. Miller by Dixon, who is the legal officer for the city commission in the civil service commission. The mayor made no comment but gave orders to F. E. McKee, commissioner of accounts, to withhold the pay of nine civil service employees who were given pay increases in January amounting to $1,700, saying he would not permit the increases and adding that he would insist that the commission's employees accept a 25 percent pay along with those in all other city commission. This time, Mayor Miller is right! This makes it look as if the Hon. Harry E. Davis may be a candidate for municipal judge, after all. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smyles, of Blaine Ave., had as their guest, the past two weeks, Mrs. M. Richardson of Kansas City, Mo.

FEW! "UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER," Atty. Samuel S. Leibowitz Says He Will Stay in the "Scottboro" "Sme—Ruby Bates" Statement. Washington, D. C. —(CNS) —Samuel L. Leibowitz, chief defense lawyer in the Scottboro case, tried at Decatur, Ala., recently, a stirring appeal to 1,500 or more persons crowded in Asbury Methodist church here, Sunday, Apr. 30. Mr. Leibowitz said a committee from the I. L. D. came to his office in New York and asked him to take up the Scottboro case. He said he agreed conditionally; wanted time to look into the facts. Later, he said to the committee: "Now, if you want me to go down there, I will, provided you do not require me in the slightest degree to use the court-room as a public forum for the purpose of spreading radical last Ian because if you have that in mind, count me out." "They said to me, 'We haven't much money.' I said, 'Never mind the money, never mind the expenses; if you satisfy me those boys are in cent and you give me a free hand to manage the case the way I think we have the hold of them said, 'G to it.' To to their credit, thus far, they have kept their word." After a detailed account of his movements and methods in the trial of the case, Mr. Lebowitz said: "I think in my own heart and soul that nobody down there is very eager to try another case after that first verdict. If they have one spoonful of money, they must realize they have practically a united world against them after that jury sent out the verdict to murder that boy. Another trial is inadvisable. The learned judge took occasion to 'spank' me, and the attorney general used that as a basis to try to get Sam Leibowitz out of the case. But I assure you that they will not get away with it out of this case until hell fends over. "We have got them! We have got them in a corner and they cannot squirm away from us no matter how they try. We have got them on the constitutional question, and they know it." Ruby Bates "Trying to Live It Down." Ruby Bates, the 19-year-old "poor white girl who defied officials of Alabama by coming to the defense of the Scottsboro boys-victims charged with attacking her, is on a speaking tour of the country. She made her first appearance in New York City, and spoke in Washington, Saturday night, May 6, in behalf of the nine defendants. In her first interview, outside her own state, she said that she is trying "to live it down—I mean, what I told against the colored boys in their first trial." She added: "I feel like I made up some by tellin' the truth in the second trial, but m stunned 'villin' to make up for it. Of course, I made up for the two years I helped cause the boys to suffer in jail—I know that much." PRAISE FOR EX-GOV. DAVIS. My dear Editor and Friend:--I have always read every line in "The Old Reliable Gazette. I must say I was quite amused, last week, when I read that any one could believe that Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis had any knowledge of the war. I was more than delighted to read the ex-Governor's personal letter to Mrs. B. J. Prince. you, boldly denying any connection whatever with them. It was just what I expected him to do. I also remember Ex-Gov. Davis' warning to the people, in all of his drives, "don't be hood wicked. I can see his repression. Mr. Davis must undoubtedly be a powerful leader for the Democrats and false former Republican "friends" always start a campaign for his defeat before he announces his intention to run for office. Mrs. Boston J. Prince. Miss Myrtle Johnson, E. 93rd st., was hostess to the Minerva club, Saturday evening. Mrs. James Barnes and daughter, Miss Becky, of Oberlin, attended the meeting.

The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the principal, trustees and faculty of Tuskegee N. & I. Institute to attend its commencement exercises, beginning May 21 and concluding, May 25. --- Paul Robeson, great bartone and actor who arrived in New York City, the first of the week, from London, England, is scheduled to play "The Emperor Jones," Eugene O'Neil's "Chas, Glipin" play that advertises American "Negroes" as cowards. --- Miss Francis Perkins, secretary of labor in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's cabinet, says "Roosevelt will not neglect the Negro." Well, he has sure done it with a vengeance, thus far. In that respect at least, he is running "true to form" as far as Democratic Presidents and other office-holders, local, state and national, are concerned. "Twas ever thus!" --- The food store at the corner of E. 100th St. and Cedar Ave., opened some months ago by Alonzo Wright and a Dr. Lee of Erie, was sold at public auction, May 2. A couple of months ago, the company operating it was reorganized in a vain effort to save it.

About two hundred of them, the "jim-crowed" by the Government, have made the pilgrimage in the past three years. --- The editor of The Gazette is pleased to receive a communication from Howard D. Gregg, superintendent of the state (C. N. & L.) department at Wilberforce, in which he writes that the rumor, published in our last issue, regarding the "educational conference," held Saturday at Wilberforce, was "absolutely without foundation" and that "the meeting was inter-racial in personnel and purely educational in scope." Glad to know it. Mr. Gregg. --- The Judge Lowell of Boston, under fire because he freed a "Negro," would be interested perhaps in the book by Captain Craige of the marines, in which he tells of one Edward Lowell of the Boston Lowells, who married a black woman in Haiti—Daily newspaper. The Judge is undoubtedly familiar with that incident in the family history and not near as concerned about it as the "assjack" who "dug it up" for the edification of the prejudiced press of the country, particularly that of the South. --- Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York City voiced a timely warning, last week, to the government and the country when he called attention to the outrageous mistreatment of the Scottsboro boy-victims, and the progress among our people the Communists are making as a result of it and the fool-demonstration of Democrats in Congress against Federal Judge James A. Lowell of Boston because of his very proper decision in the "George Crawford" case, recently. Hon. Oscar DePriest of Chicago made a short speech in Congress, last week, on a resolution with a proposed movement, to the 14th amendment of the U. S. Constitution, to give federal courts authority to transfer a court to a court in another state when it was determined that the defendant could not obtain a fair trial because of race prejudice in the state in which the alleged offense was com- mitted. The Communists characterize DePriest's resolution "as a fake amendment to prevent the passage of their civil rights bill." --- A REMARKABLE CONTRAST. With Gandhi fasting and daring death in an East Indian jail in another effort to aid the cause of the "Untouchables" of that land; the Hitlerized Jews of Germany, persecuted and fleeing for their lives in many instances; and our group of nine innocent "Scottsboro" boys, in an Alabama jail, hounded and threatened with death, without "due process of law," an unusual incident occurred in the grand ball-room of Hotel Allerton, this city, last week Monday evening, on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Cleveland Bar Association, which goes far to prove that Cleveland is still in some respects "the fairest city in the country." President Wm. H. Boyd of the Association had just finished introducing, to the large audience, local candidates for judicial positions when he espied Ex-State Senator and Mrs. John P. Green seated in the audience. Turning to the packed assembly, he said: "I see the Honorable John P. Green, one of the four oldest lawyers now practicing at the local bar who were recently highly honored by this Association. I move that we pay our respects to him." Thereupon every one arose and loudly applauded the senator who properly acknowledged the exceptional honor. Such kindly, gracious and well-merited treatment of a member of the race is rarely witnessed anywhere in this country and something our people should feel very proud of. It is very heartening indeed. Senator Green has an unbroken record of more than fifty years successful practice at the local bar EUROPEAN KLUXERS. Adolf Hitler and his Nazis have swallowed wholesale three of the four tenets of the ku klux klan—opposition to our people, Jews and foreign born citizens—and have inaugurated a movement against German intermarriage with our people and the Jews as well as destroying books of the latter and other proscribed books objectionable to their warped minds. Hitlerism announces that "the mental and political 'superiority' of Germans, Englishmen and North Americans in the world, today, is explainable by the Nordic will power and energy of those peoples." Some more K. K. K. "woole." Poor Germany is being headed backward at a more rapid rate than characterized the wonderful progress of that country up to the time of the World War. What a pity! Prime Sport News Owens Scores Three Firsts. The indomitable Jesse Owens returned to activity, last Friday, after a week's layback because of a wrenched knee to capture his customary three firsts and lead East Tech to a 72-42 victory over John Adams. The dual contest was staged at Adams Field. Owens whipped thru the century, winning with ease. In 10 scoreless minutes, he struck. In the 220-yard dash, he built up a long early lead and then loafed thru the last fifteen or twenty yards to favor as much as possible his injury. His third victory was in the broad jump, which he took with a leap of 23 feet 1 inch. Dave Abritton, another member of the race team, faced him allaround and athlete, equalled Owens' scoring feat with wins in the 120 and 220-yard hurdles and the high jump. Nervous at Olympic Trials. Jesse says that the only time he ever has been nervous at a lockout meet was last year, in the Ohio state. When he seemed to tighten up all at once. But he is confident that, in the 1936 Olympic tryouts, he will be a finalist. So are thousands of fans who have seen him run. Altho Jesse has won 83 medals, four cups, six shields and innumerable ribbons, his biggest thrill came at the post-Olympic year, when he ran away from several foreign stars. Owens' next appearance is in the northeastern Ohio qualifier for the state scholastic meet at Cleveland Heights Field, today. Saturday. The question of the moment concerning this meet, as it will be the day it is not who will win it, 10:20 and broad jump. Rather it is by how many Willows break the state records. AN APPRECIATION!

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 law are similar, but this enacted mob violence or anti-lynching bill was which are copies of our Ohio law. Other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching bills, 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.

In the afternoon, Dr. W. R. McChesney, president of Cedarville college; Dean Geo. F. Arps and Dr. D. Obertseuf of O. S. U., delivered addresses. Group conferences on various subjects of an educational nature were held in Bundy hall from 4 to 6 p. m.

(93 v. 162 8.) Section 6285.

(93 v. 14.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, deating 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 condemned the recent House of Representatives' action authorizing an investigation of the "Crawford" decision, recently rendered by Federal Judge James A. Lowell of Boston and severely criticised the southern practice of excluding Afro-Americans from jury service in the South.

Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the most preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but exploit it to take on that they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Delegate to World Educational Conference. Nashville, Tenn. (CNS)—President W. J. Hale, of the Tennessee A. & E. college, this city, a brother-in-law of Dr. Edward A. Bailey of Cleveland, O., has been appointed an official delegate of the National Educational Association representing the fifth biennial conference of the World Federation of Educational Associations in Dublin, Ireland, July 29 to Aug. 4, this year. Prof. Hale was recently the recipient of the recognition from education, in building up the two-million dollar plant of the college here. DePriest Condemns Southern Jury System Washington, D. C.—(CNS)—Representative Oscar DePriest of Illinois in a twenty-minute speech, May 3, condemned the recent House of Representatives' action authorizing an investigation of the "Crawford" decision, recently rendered by Federal Judge James A.

Davis as their candidate for mayor, this fall, were distributed in this community, several weeks ago, one of the signers of the pamphlets was one Ulrich Kiesel, then president of the Republican clubs. These pamphlets had been prepared, signed and printed some weeks previous to the date of their distribution and before Kiesel made known his connection with the infamous Ku Klux Klan for which he was compelled, last week, to resign. The proof of this connection was Proof that this connection of Kiesel's was not known when the pamphlets were prepared and printed is By RING LARDNER WE NOT A RAY FRAME WE DID FINALLY WE GOT A GRAY FRAME A delicately perfumed hair-dressing which gives added sparkle to the already attractive lustre of the hair treated with PORO Starting from Buffalo or Cleveland these special all-expense cruises on the SEANDBEE, the largest and finest passenger ship on the great lakes, give you happy, carefree, restful days, with music, dancing, entertainment, games and sports.

Therefore, our people, the Jewish people, Catholics, and foreign-born citizens who are special for the vicious opposition of the Ku Klux Klan, and many of whom were much concerned as a result of the distribution of the pamphlets, have been cited and will not have when they have read Mr. Davis' letter elsewhere in this paper.

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. I have the scotch whistle, 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. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) ```markdown ``` Where To Purchase The Gazette O. K.

Marshall's argument in favor of a small City Council of nine or eleven members, elected-at-large, and each to be paid a salary in Cincinnati by members of the Ku Klux Klan, some years ago, with the hope that it would forever keep the people of that city from electing as councilman an Afro-American, a Jewish-American, a foreign-born citizen or one that is a back-up of the Catholic church. "Back-up" John. In a recent public lecture a well-known medical authority said that he could conceive of the ductless glands as a "physical basis for immortality." He also said that the transplantation of monkey glands is called "gland grafting." It simply cannot be done.

This would necessarily remove our people as residents of that ward and elsewhere in the third district.

The course is of college grade. There are no requirements for admission or during the course. The best talent of the university is given free, the subjects covered being: Biology, Economics, History, Literature, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology. Reading lists are distributed and the student who conscientiously covers them as well as the lectures will have accomplished a pretty fair college course. The course will continue, at 10:30 a.m. on morning of Saturday and Sunday until May 31. Classes are held in the Amasa Stone Memorial chapel of Western Reserve university. It is not too late to enter the classes now and there are many people of all ages with too much leisure, who can benefit from them. Our people of this city with proper self and race respect should continue to protest the "Rev. Leartherfoot and His Choir" program given, Saturday evenings, over WGAR. The entertainment is coarse and insulting, and should be discontinued by that radio station. It is difficult to believe that Dr. W. Childress of this city has or had anything to do with the program, as announced. It is in the same class as that miserable play, "Porgy," to which reference was made in The Gazette, last week. As indicated in our last issue, popular "Billy" Gray (Wm. H.), after many months' illness, passed out, Saturday at 5 a. m. at his daughter's residence in Penn Yan, N. Y.

About That Alleged "Mutiny" in the Birthright Mistreatment of the Boys, treatment of the Boys Birmingham, Ala.—What really happened, week before last, when the warden of Jefferson County Jail here sent out stories of a "mutiny," on the part of the Scottsboro boy-victims, was told the following day when Irving Schwab, I. L. D. attorney, forced the prison to release the boys on the eighth floor of the prison. They told Schwab that they had been abused by Deputy Warden K. C. Dement, that they had objected to being called "n—rs," and constantly cursed. All culminated in an open protest when the boys learned that visitors had been barred from them and visited their cell house and foreign, was no being delivered. The prisoners with about 25 prisoners, armed with balckjacks, threatened them. Arming themselves with whatever they could find about the cell for defense, the boys waited. The threatened attack was then called off. For 24 hours, they were denied food and water. The boys only surrendered and were treated better treatment. They felt confident of ultimate release by the courts. MADAM HERMAN Gifted Advisor Formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa., and recently from Los Angeles, Calif., is known from coast to coast in America.

HEnderson 6028 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 Spring Heralds Coming Circus Much Actual Geography Seen in Sawdust Ring. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) - WNU Service. Hilltop Island of sawdust and spangles, pink lemonade and pea-puts, is about charge from winter quarters. The magic mangle of red wagons and the footsteps of circusdown's spangled battalions have echoed down the corridors of many summers; yet few really know the phantom white city, a nomadic world, a geographic marvel and a mystery from beginning to end. There is more actual geography within the narrow borders of Spangeland than in any similar space on the face of the earth. From the shores of the seven seas come its citizens, their faces turned toward the open road where lies the winding trail of the big tops. Dainty equestriennes from France and handsome Russians from the steppes; pink-cheeked athletes from Great Britain and Scandinavia; flashing brunettes from Italy, Argentina, Mexico, and sunny Spain; blond Germans with iron bodies; suave, charming Austrians; almond - eyed maids from Yokohama, Tokyo, and Nagasaki and from the seething land of the dragon; sun-tanned sheikhs from the shifting sands of Araby; whipcrackers from Australia and hard-riding cowboys from the western plains; clawers, acrobats, nerialists, riders, staff executives and laborers from every state in the Union—all owe allegiance to the transient country of tents. A game of checkers in the circus "backyard" between a genial young Japanese tumbler, heir to half a million dollars, and an old clown who ran away from his home in the Middle West long ago, lured by the spangled Pled Piper and his steel-throated callope, shows how the big top draws together the ends of the earth. Such is the population of Spangleland, where people from nearly every country under the sun are fed into the hopper of a highly organized machine to emerge firmly woven into the brilliant mosaics of a fast-moving performance, subscribing without reservation to the one supreme law of the trouper—"The show must go on." The circus is organized socially, but a trouper's geographical background has nothing to do with his qualification for membership in the circus golf club, baseball team, clown society, women's clubs, or circus chapter of the American Red Cross. Above all else, the population of this nomadic melting pot learns tolerance, and it's what a person is rather than where he came from that counts most. Got Start in Circus. Circusdom has been a springboard from which men have vaulted to prominence in other fields. Will Rogers was the "Cherokee Kid" with Wirth's circus in 1004. Al G. Fields, the minstrel king, started trouping as a Shakespearean clown. Fred Stone wore spangles before the footlights claimed him, and some of his best antics were born back in "Clown Alley" during his circus days. Many persons still look upon circus trouping as something akin to robbing a bank, which accounts for the interesting fact that many present-day circus stars had to run away from home to join. Take Mabel Stark, for example. Her relatives virtually disowned her when she laid aside the crisp, white uniform of the trained nurse to expose herself to the mauling of "big, striped tomcats," as she affectionately refers to her tigers. But the call of the callope and the magic of the midway were in her ears and she immigrated to Spangeland, there to become the only woman in the world who breaks, trains, and works tigers. She has more scars on her body than a giraffe has spots, and her exciting career has fed newspaper columns for years. The almost unlimited geographical aspects of the circus are nowhere more in evidence than in the wild animal menagerie. To this traveling college of zoology belong animals from every continent, each a splendid physical specimen, receiving the utmost care from the animal attendants. Zoological experts from leading universities never cease to marvel at the exceptionally fine condition of the circus animals, despite the fact that they are moved from city to city almost every day. Variation in climate in different sections of the country presents a serious problem for circus animal attendants, who often pass hours in a cage with a sick jungle charge, so fond are they of their animals. Seldom does a beast die while the circus is on the road. Under a single spread of canvas are gathered hundreds of animals and birds—tigers from Bengal, Sumatra, and Siberia; lions and leopards from Africa's tangled jungles; tall, silent giraffes from the open stretches of Ethiopia; nilgai, black buck, aoudal, tapir, and gemsbok antelope. In the same circle colony are Russian brown bears, huge black fellows from Alaska, and polar bears from Greenland's ice slopes. But the circus animal population does not end here. There are hip-popotamuses from north of the Transvaal; orang utans from Borneo; tiny rhesus monkeys with pathetic faces, affectionate dispositions, and delicate tungs; llamas from the mountains of Peru; pumas from North and South America; macaws from Mexico; sea lions from California; a sea elephant from the Antarctic wastes; wise, friendly elephants and a curious armored rhinoceros from India; the more familiar rhino from Africa, together with hyenas, dromedaries, zebras, and water buffaloes. Australia contributes the kangaroo. The rhinoceros, despite his perpetual grouch and his amazing ugility, is one of the most valuable beasts in the circus, costing about $10,000 by the time he has been purchased from an exporter and raised to maturity. While the more impressive rhino halls from India, a dwindling species, the African, is a formidable fellow of steam-roller disposition. Rhinoceros, elephant, or water buffalo can whip a tiger or at least discourage him in most instances. In contrast to the evil-tempered pachyderm, with the deadly horn and the tiny, piglike eyes, is the good-natured hippopotamus, as genial as he is fat. Elephants From India. Circus elephants, almost without exception, come from India. Their African cousins, though larger, are much harder to handle and have proved pretty generally useless in circuses except for display purposes. Jumbo was an African and he was stubborn, like the rest of his four-footed countrymen. One night years ago, in St. Thomas, Ont., Jumbo got into an argument with a freight train on the wrong track, with the result that his funeral was held the following morning. Indian elephants are natural actors and enjoy doing tricks in the big show. They are quick to learn, once they realize what is expected of them, and their ears are trained to applause like those of a born trouper. Most of them are surprisingly good-natured, and they are so anxious about a firm footing that in most cases they will not voluntarily step on a man. Giraffes are captured by means of a lasso, and often an African-born giraffe will be seen to have about two inches of hair missing from his stubby mane—evidence Trained Circus Elephants that the lasso was instrumental in his capture. The big circus cats, unless born on the show, are captured in the jungle regions with traps and pits covered with jungle foliage and baited with young goats. A new method of capturing wild beasts alive involves shooting them with a gas bullet that puts the animal to sleep without pain. When the creature wakes up he finds himself a prisoner. These recently perfected gas bullets are said to be capable of bringing down a lion or a tiger at a distance of 200 feet. But circus animals from the four corners of the earth are imported for a far more interesting purpose than mere exhibition. Many of them are educated. In the circus "classrooms" the natural enemies of the jungles are taught to tolerate one another. Mystery of Circusdom. Much of the mystery of circusdom lies in the moving of this miniature cosmos, with its citizenry of animals and people from every clime, and in the pitching of the tents that compose the canvas city. The largest circus carries its own doctor, lawyers, detectives, barber shop, blacksmith shop, fire department, chefs, business experts, and postal service, and it travels on 100 railroad cars in four sections. There are long, steel flat cars for the wagons and other vehicles; huge box cars for the hundreds of horses, elephants, camels, llamas, zebras; commodious sleeping cars for the performers, staff, and laborers. That the moving of the show may be expedited, cook and dining equipment is packed up at 5:30 in the afternoon, and is sent ahead aboard the flying squadron, along with the wild animal cages and the menagerie tent, which is loaded immediately after the start of the night performance. The land of the white top remains static for just about six hours—between the time the last wagon moves upon the lot, in the late morning, until loading begins again, in the late afternoon. But, if there is a late arrival, the time between unloading and packing up again is shorter still. Of course, when the circus arrives on Sunday or when it remains in a city for more than one day, as it does in a few very large cities, this schedule is not followed. The longest run made by a circus in 1931 was the Ringling-Barnum jump from Springfield, Mass., to Montreal, Canada, a Sunday trip to 335 miles. The shortest run was 12 miles, from Philadelphia to West Philadelphia. Circus exhibition in the United States had its beginning in 1785 and President Washington attended Rickett's circus in Philadelphia in 1793. The circus of those early days was a piny ancestor of the present-day show. Indeed, it had no elephant! The first pachyderm to set foot in the United States arrived several years later, aboard a sailing vessel called America. Spanglehound scarcely could lay claim to being a complete world in miniature were it not for the fact that within its boundaries can be seen the freak as well as the normal handwork of Nature. The side show is a separate and distinct kingdom. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1933. Man-Tailored Vies With Fur-Trim Man-Tailored Vies With Fur-Trim By CHERIE NICHOLAS COMES stepping along in the spring style shows the strictly tailored suit, daringly mannish down to the minestet detail, so much so as to provoke a question mark shrug of the shoulders on the part of the more conservative. Some of the new suits have gone so far as to be actually trousered, worn with man-tailored shirts, spory ties, stiff cuffs and swaggering fedora hats. Bide a wee, ye who are skeptical, and give eye to another number of fashion's program, for equally prominent on the horizon there rises a gracefully silhouetted figure clad in softly furred delicate gray or beige, made even more appealingly feminine with the accompaniment of a sheer little beffried blouse or the haunting of one of those amusing huge butterfly bows of crisp organdie which are the rage just now. What with the elusive pastel tone of these costumes so perfectly blended with hazy, misty fox fur the ensemble melts into the springtime scene as does the faintly tinged leafy verdure during the lovely Maytime days. Which to choose, the severely and daringly man-tailored or the beguilingly feminine, for the new spring outfit, aye, that's the question! Toss a penny if you will, for either way leads triumphantly on to the very height of fashion. If your flipchart penny happens to head toward the strictly tailored you will be tremendously interested in the picture group. The picture group is wearing. Here the picture group is wearing. Here HOW COLORS ARE USED IN STYLES Dark, colors are in favor for costumes and bright accents of accessories—sweaters, blouses, belts, collars and cuffs, scarfs, pocketbooks, gloves, hats and handkerchiefs. For evening, the pastel family of colors are in exceptionally good repute. So that you will be up-to-date on the names as well as the shades of new fabrics, keep these new titles for old colors well in mind: Eel-gray, sunset-orange, sulphur-yellow, Jerusalem-cherry red, Algerian-blue, Byzantine-green, tealleaf-green, deepwater-blue and that intangible new shade of blue that is going to be very popular and which, at least for the moment, is called moonlight-blue. Many of these shades are old friends wedded to new titles to give you a fresher impression of them. Warm Weather Fashions Show a Youthful Trend Show a youthful Trend Warm weather fabrics indicate that the predominant trend this year would be toward youthfulness in design and fabrics. The variety of materials run all the way from chiffons to piques, and the colors shown were equally diversified, Reds, blues, browns, beiges and grays were in evidence, used separately and in combination. The trends indicate that day wear will be shorter, slimmer and younger, while evening wear evidences a distinct Victorian influence. Many two-piece jacket and dress models are being shown, which indicates a tendency toward utility in street wear. Satins for Summer Satin is enormously indorsed, and is expected to materialize this summer mostly in lacquered accessories and supple evening gowns in delicate shades like pearly pink or blue and nude. is the masculine fashion at its best. It is an afternoon suit that copies the male tuxedo even to a satin lapels and a satin strip down either side of the skirt. The blouse is styled like a man's vest and the ascot tie are in white satin. For high-class swank this model stains at the very head of the list. The smart set are quite wild about it—this idea of the tuxedo suit. For less formal wear the double-breasted suit sketched in the circle beaded with a distinctly practical style, either in black or navy. Note the masculine derby hat which tops it. This model also looks good in tweed, and tweeds when in cape costumes made up with the popular tuffa cheeks or in strictly man-made tailored fashion are "all the go" for spring. If your fancy leads to the more feminine type, why not a fox trimmed gray or beige topcoat, such as shown to the left in the picture? How flattering they are, the suits and coats in delicate tones which are made ornate with matching fur. You are offered your choice between caped types and those which "say it" with novel voluminous sleeves. In either event handsome borderings of luxuriant matching fur complete these charming ensembles. The placement of fur on the cape is done with a view of keeping it away from the face in most instances so that the suit or coat may be happily woven way into the summer. The cape suggestion sketched in the top oval gives the idea. $ \textcircled{c} $ . 1933. Western Newspaper Union. 100 Waffle pique in a growing peach tone makes the little jacket.

The evening jacket made of organelle, with crisp, bouffant silhouette, due to its large sleeves and, perhaps, a huge bow, is also one of fashion's latest whims. Which goes to show the importance of cotton as a style factor. Give White Pique Touch to Spring Wool Frocks Many springtime wool, frocks are finished with a touch of white plique at the neckline. A black and white checked wool dress is topped by a little detachable bib of white plique which buttons on the left shoulder, and a Charrisse green wool has a band of the same ribbed cotton on one side of the neckline. THE Camirror HON. HARRY L. DAVIS The Next Republican Candidate for Mayor "Spikes" a Democratic K. K. K. Canard. Cleveland, April 28, '33. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Garrett City. Dear Harry:—I have frankly been quite amazed to note a suggestion in The Gazette of even a possibility that there might ever be some connection between the Ku Klux Klan and myself. If there has been any outstanding factor in my personal and public attitude toward my fellowman, it has been my strong impatience with intolerance in any form, be it directed against race or creed. I have never minced any words in condemning any movement which had for its aim the raising of racial and religious prejudices and barriers, and my official actions were at all times guided by a determination to help uproot any such unAmerican tendencies. I hardly thought it would ever be necessary to remind anyone of my attitude on the Klan as shown during my public career. Surely, you cannot have forgotten that my open opposition to the Klan and the things it stands for, while I was Governor, earned me their bitter and undying hatred and hostility. So much so that when I sought re-election as Governor in 1924, when the Klan was at their highest power, they concentrated their entire strength in fighting me. The endorsement by the Klan of Gov. Vic Donahay was at that time printed in the Cleveland Daily News. Cleveland Democratic newspapers joined hands with the Klan in supporting Donahay. Insofar as the Kiesel incident is concerned, the pamphlet involved was gotten up outside my office, and without our passing on the same. However, among its signers was a Catholic, Thomas McCafferty. Irrespective of this, however, while we have been told that he had been a Catahoga County League of Republican Clubs, we never had any idea of his connection with the Klan, any more than Republicans generally suspected any such affiliation. Finally, I have not announced my candidacy for any office at this time. I have not deemed it necessary, therefore, to make any comment on the veiled inference carried in the morning Democratic newspaper, that the Klan issue would be raised if he would be a candidate. Needless to say, when and if I become a candidate, I shall fully and unequivocally meet that typically Democratic canard. In the meanwhile, I feel good Republicans, like yourself, will not permit themselves to be victimized by Democratic attempts to create false issues within Republican party ranks HARRY L. DAVIS.

Feeding our bodies is probably one of the most important things in life because we have to eat merely to exist, don't we? However, there is another hunger which, to me, is almost as important, and that is the hunger for beauty. Most of us feel that we have to have beauty in our homes, and the loveliest way I know of accomplishing this is to have flowers and growing plants to look at. Emerson in speaking of flowers once said, "A ray of beauty outvalues If you do this you can always have fresh flowers, and they should never cost more than a dollar a week. How ever, if you do not feel that you can do this, here is another suggestion. I allow do it myself, and it will not cost more than fifteen or twenty cents a week. First of all you will have to have enough pebbles to fill three low bowls Buy about six narcissus bulbs. Be sure to select ones that have started to sprout. Plant these in one of your bowls using the pebbles instead of earth Remember to cover them with fresh water once a day. In about a week plant the second bowl in the same way A week later, plant the third. It will all the utilities of the world." And it is really almost a necessity for us to have beauty, of one form or another, in our lives. . . . Even in these days when the great army of the new-poor keeps increasing, I manage somehow to include flowers in my budget. This really isn't so extravagant as it sounds, since I do manage to include flowers in the center of the table. It is really possible to do it very economically, and I would like to offer you the following suggestions. Go to an inexpensive florist, first of all. Tell him that you will probably be getting flowers from him once or twice a month, and pay more than a certain amount—say fifty cents—at a time. Explain to him that you will be perfectly willing to take whatever flowers he has the most of that day, provided they are fresh. In this way he can afford to sell you flowers. He will be more expensive because he might otherwise not be able to sell all of them. RACE PREJUDICEI "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. If you do this you can always have fresh flowers, and they should never cost more than a dollar a week. However, if you do not need them, you do not need them. I always do it myself, and it will not cost more than fifteen or twenty cents a week. . . . First of all you will have to have enough pebbles to fill three low bowls, Buy about six narcissus bulbs. Be sure to select ones that have started to sprout. Plant these in one of your bowls, using the pebbles instead of earth. Remember to cover them with fresh water once a day. In about a week, plant the second bowl in the same way. A week later, plant the third. It will take about three weeks for your first bowl to bloom and the blooms should last for about a week. By the time they fade, your second bowl will be in bloom. In this way, you will have an endless chain of dainty, fragrant narcissus. The following are a few suggestions which should help to prolong the life of cut flowers: 1. Place wilted flowers in water the temperature of their stems and leave them there for several hours. This will often revive flowers which look almost hopeless. 2. Cut the tips of stems (in a half-vertical cut) while under water. This allows the stem to absorb the water immediately instead of becoming partially dried as it does if exposed to the air for even an instant. 3. In cutting popies, which ordinarily wilt almost before they are picked, try searing the stem with a match. If you do this immediately, it will enable you to keep them in water for several days. 4. To keep flowers fresh place a piece of essential oil or an aspirin tablet in the water. Any one of these will do the trick, or you might try a little aromatic spirits of ammonia. A very pretty touch is gained by placing a geranium or mint leaf in the water of each finger bowl. Try this the next time you have dinner guests and see how everyone is about the lovely fragrance these leaves impart when crushed. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.
