THE NATION In Neglecting Our Schools Is Provoking a "National Hazard," Says Dr. Angell—Leading Educators Hear Him. New York City.—At a dinner, given at the Metropolitan club, April 27, '33, by the Hon. Paul D. Cravath, president of the board of trustees of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., and attended by 71 distinguished citizens of this city, and including Dr. James Rowland Angell, president of Yale University, Chancellor Kirkland, University President Dr. Thomas Else Jones, president of Fisk University, Dr. Angell said, in an address, that the United States can no longer view the neglected and ungenerous educational facilities for its 12,000,000 Negro people without feeling some sense of the national hazard thus provoked. "We can not go on ignoring how essentially dangerous such a condition is, for if history has taught our generation any one thing, it is that a population to be submerged, snubbed or ill-treated without having that bill come home to be paid a thousand times by those who made it." Continuing, he said: "Our generation has come to believe in the obligation we owe the 'Negro.' If for some reason we do not fishish, the white people must realize that they must provide the 'Negro' with leaders from within the race and these leaders can only be furnished thru education. The best education we can provide will be none too good. That we can not deny. It would be suicidal to our own position, and we must consider it suicide to the white race which momentarily is said to dominate the state." CHEEKS' CANDIDACY For the City Council in the Eighteenth Ward Just Announced—A "Sweeney" Democrat. Eugene F. Cheeks, young, ambitious, energetic and capable, has announced his candidacy for the city Council in the 18th ward. Until in recent months, Editor Cheeks of the Cleveland Guide, a bi-monthly publication, was a Ray T. Miller Democrat, so-called. Since, he has apparently Eugene F. Cheeks. switched to the support of the Congressman Martin L. Sweeney, the better faction of local Democracy What will prove to be the fatal mistake of Cheeks' candidacy, if he persists, is his wholesale endorsement of "The Blossom Triplets." Cheeks well says: "Three 'Negro' councilmen in our City Council have held the balance of power in issues that have come before the council, and have been in a position to demand certain things." But they didn't, Friend Cheeks, and therefore a failure upon the part of our people to re-elect any one of them will not be a "calamity." He says that 75 per cent of the 18th ward population is Afro-American, this is hardly the case. That is a most too generous estimate. He also says: "Much has been accomplished by our three councilmen and much by our four councilmen, last half of the foregoing sentence means so much more than the first half of it that the two are a "pain and a headache," as far as "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy) are concerned. Cheeks announces that he will run "on a non-partisan ticket" since the city election is non-partisan. AUTO TOURING BY LAKE Is Favored by Motorists—Canada-Bound Tourists Have the Option of Two Interesting Routes. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"—and all driving and no restful riding is apt to make the summer vacationist weared rather than rested at the end of his brief period of freedom. There are thousands of motor tourists in this country and Canada, however, who make part of their tour by lake. In many cases they save a day, resting and enjoying themselves. Also, they save time and money by taking their car aboard the steamer at Cleveland and disembarking at Port Stanley. On the return trip they can board the steamer at Buffalo and travel back to Cleveland while sleeping restfully. It is a real contribution towards vacation happiness, says P. J. Swartz, general manager. The opening of the Port St. James June 30th, offers an alternate route to the city, an endless variety of interesting tours. One of the especial advantages of the two divisions is that it permits a motorist to go one way and return the other. In both instances, the use of the boat is an economy of time and money and it gives a sense of excitement and a need of delightful travel which adds immeasurably to the success and benefit of the vacation. THE TREMOLO! Editor, Cleveland Daily News:—wonder if some radio station has the courage to take a stand against the vocal tremolo, a French creation, so largely effected, these days, especially by singers over the radio. There is not one voice in a thousand (and that goes for both male and female) but what the tones are greatly harmed by the use of the tremolo. The soprano who was included in the Marimbas' vocal ensemble, Sunday, May 7, 1:30 p. m., practically ruined her work by a foolish effort to use the tremolo. An appeal is made to the radio stations to help deliver their audiences from this very distressing infliction. Harry C. Smith SCOTTSBORO VERDICT Condemned and a Call for Collections in All Congregations Asked for the L. L. D. by the C. M. E. Church. Jackson, Tenn. — The general board of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, in session here, recently, with eight bishops and nine general officers, more than 250 pastors and lay representatives, went on record, as condemning the Scottboro verdict at Decatur, Ala., and that of Willie Peterson at Birmingham, Ala., and the Angelo Hernandez case at Atlanta, Ga. It also adopted the following resolution: To us, both Christianity and civilization is challenged, and while we Americans condemn Hitlerism in Germany against the Jews, we must not overlook the fact that we have by far worse than Hitlerism, with all of its bigryness and brutality, in America, imposed upon 'Negroes.' URGES TRAINING As a Result of the Rosenwald Fund Survey—Means More Economic Security—Co-operation. Washington, D. C.—Improvement of our vocational education and occupational opportunities in New York City was urged, last week Thursday, by Franklin J. Keller, director of the National Occupational Conference, at its opening meeting, on our economic status sponsored by Jillian Foreward Fund of Chicago. Basing his address on a survey conducted by a commission of the Board of Education, Mr. Keller reviewed conditions affecting us as shown by a study undertaken to aid the schools in "serving impartially the people of the city." As a result of its investigation, Mr. Keller said the commission is "convinced that the so-called 'Negro problem' is the white man's problem," and one that can be so solved only by "co-operation of strife and equality, sympathetic understanding and a frank facing of the facts. What the school system can do about it, constitutes a very definite task which the commission has outlined in ten specific recommendations." He also said that while the educational system of the City of New York knows no distinction as to race, creed or color, the findings of the research study indicate the importance and misunderstanding may thwart the officially expressed purposes of the educational authorities." Broadus Mitchell, professor of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins, asserted that progress for the Afro-American as for others, means improvement in living standards and greater economic security. More than 100 members and guests attended the sessions. Louis Brownlow of Chicago presided, Thursday morning; Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in the afternoon, and Albert K. Stern, son-in-law of Mr. Rosenwald, at the evening session. The last monthly meeting of the local branch of our National Association of Musicians at Cedar "Y" was exceptionally interesting. Several of our local church choirs rendered selections including several spirituals. The speakers were Mrs. Eugenia Mayo Brewer, former president of the local branch; Mrs. Alice Pierson, president of the Housewives League; Leland D. French, Colman Lewis Jr., and Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, state organizer and member of the national board. G. H. Ambrose, president; Murray Adams, secretary of the local branch. HEAR! HEAR!! A ON WHAT'S DOING Don't forget to remember the names of any or all councilmen who support Council President John Marshall's Hitler-K. K. kouncilman-at-large resolution, now before the City Council, and don't forget to vote against them at the coming election. Current rumor has it that the Shelter House Association for the "proper training, protection and housing of our girls" is another "jim-crow" encouragement encouraged by the city Wolfare department. Mrs Hazel M. Walker is announced as its president. What truth is there in the rumor? Our experience is that city officials are always willing to work overtime in order to bring about segregation of "Negroes." Current rumor has it that the Rev. David O. Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, is grooming himself as a candidate, this fall, for membership of the school board; also that the candidacies for council of Holley Cooley and Harold T. Gassaway have been withdrawn and that they have gone to the support of Chas. S. Smith's candidacy. Therefore, this leaves the field practically to Mr. Smith, secretary to Former Director of Safety Barry. All are residents of Ward 18. At a special meeting, last week, of the I-B-N Republican club, the candidacy for the City Council of Dr. E. J. Gregg was endorsed and its moral and financial support guaranteed. In explanation of this action, the club's president says, "After our call survey of the situation, we find it necessary to support, as a unit, the Gregg candidacy in order that we may retain a member of our group in the City Council from the 11th Ward." The impending candidacy for "Muny" Judge of Councilman Clayborne George was also endorsed. Theoulder would suggest, in view of Dr. Gregg's Democratic stand when a member of the City Council, and his refusal to vote for the Hon. Harry E. Davis for civil service commissioner, and his support for that position of former Councilman Orilowski, the present Democratic local commissioner, would be nounce "prototype" whether his candidacy is Democratic, Republican or Independent. By changing the name of "Forest City" to that of "The City of Rackets" would be hitting the nail on the head. Having with us the bankers' racket in which thousands of the poor, who deposited their hard-earned pennies for a rainy day, and now while the rain is coming down in torrents, they see their little savings either gambled away by the bankers or tied up as not to be withdrawn when needed. Then the receivership racket, over 1800 in the city, would be gambled at large racket, a method of depriving the poor of any representation in city affairs (Hitterizing), and then the so-called "better housing and home-building racket," which will deprive the poorer class of a place to cover their heads, causing more and more suffering and misery among that poor, exploited and unfortunate group of people. Is it any wonder, to even a blind man, why the Communist ranks are being so rapidly increased? It would be far better for the government to divorce itself from these rackets and build simple, cheap homes for its own which could be rented for from $10 to $15 per month and by so doing they would be applauded for having helped the many unforgotten men spoken so often of in the last political campaign. Walter R. McCornack, local architect, head of a "slum clearance" rehousing project known as Cleveland Homes, Inc., has announced that the land in the area bounded by Cedar and Central Avenues, extending from E. 22d to E. 36th St., is what they have their eyes on now; that it is only one of several areas they have in mind; also that his company has the right under the law to force, thrue the courts, the sale of any land in these areas in the direction. This will practically have confiscation privately owned property which the slum own land in the so-called slum areas should begin to pay attention to once. McCornack's company, recently "chartered for slum clearance in the city," intends to bring about "a change in the occupancy of the dis SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS trict (Ward 11) improved" with modern housing for lower (poorer) income groups of people. It freely and publically admits that the lowest (poorest) income groups can only be in the third district. It also philanthropy. This would necessarily remove our people as residents of that ward and elsewhere in the third district. The fatal mistake of the company is its figuring on too low a rental basis the value of the land it wishes to practically discrate. It is the district, for its "modern housing" project, "with parks," etc. Five of our employees at the garbage plant were let out, last week. A Mr Black, 2344 E. 86th St., and his family left, early Monday morning, to relocate in Canada, their old home. He was a truck driver at the garbage plant where he had been employed several years, tho a Canadian. The city administration is sure working hard to maintain these jobs for the "faithful." About a week or ten days ago, Mayor Miller removed about 100 jobs at the garbage plant from the Civil Service Commission list, according to local daily papers. Hon. Harry E. Davis, chairman of the civil service commission, Monday flatly refused to tell reporters what the commission will do about releasing its payroll held up by Mayor Miller until nine pay raises granted by the commission. "I don't know what we're going to do," said Davis. "We have other business to attend to now." He declined to discuss any phase of the payroll situation, nor would he say what he would recommend in regard to the discharge of the commissioner, or the commissary Monday. The Rounder doesn't blame Harry for refusing to talk, because he and everybody else knows that the Miller city administration is trying to "jockey" him into a position that will enable it to "fire him" when he fails to meet missioners and as a result control of the Civil Service Commission. DOINGS OF THE RACE. A separate office for "Negro" policyholders is maintained in St. Louis by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. A new four-story publishing house, worth 50,000, was dedicated at Jackson, Tenn., by the C. M. E. Church, last week. Mrs. Wm. E. Parks has been named attendance-officer for school district No. 1 by the Denver, Colo., Board of Education. All thru the South "Negroes" are being refused employment as reforestation employees under the Roosevelt plan. K. K. K. influence. The International Olympic games ought to be transferred from Berlin to some city outside of "Hitler's Germany" because of its racial restrictions. Ernest Crittenden of Chicago was awarded $3,000, recently, under the Illinois Mob Violence act, an almost verbatim copy of our pioneer Ohio Anti-Lynching law. A new case, similar to the Doris Weaver case, against Ohio State University officials, will soon be started. The case is Supreme court by the N. A. A. C. P. OVER 200 LEFT HOTEL When It Drew the Color-Line— Vegetable Butter—at a Stop to Such Insults and Dares Washington, D. C.—More than 200 men and women (white), delegates to the Continental Congress for Economic Reconstruction, quietly packed their bags and moved out of the Cairo hotel on 16th St. here, week before last, when it was made known to them that the hotel had refused to accept as guests two Afro-American delegates. They marched to the Washington auditorium, where their sessions were being held, and turned the meeting into a demonstration against color-barriers in Washington. Our delegates, who came from New York, had made reservations at the hotel along with the rest of the group that the conference host committee. When they appeared there, they were told that the Cairo hotel would not accept them because of their color. This information was immediately relayed to the auditorium, where most of the other delegates had assembled. Without debate on the question, the group went to the hotel, proceeded to their rooms and withdrew with their luggage. He "Trimmed" the "Crackers." Cleveland, May 15, '33. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, City. Dear Mr. Smith:—After reading the nice things The Gazette published about the little trouble I had, one morning last week, permit me to say that it was a great pleasure to do what I did, and thank you very much for sharing and speaking so kindly of me.

RUBY BATES' STORY Told First in Public to a New York Audience—At Last, the "Inside" of the Scottsboro Affair—Her Life "Down Home." New York City—"I have come from the South to tell you the truth about the Scottsboro case. Those Scottsboro boys are absolutely innocent." Ruby Bates, the southern white girl who faced threats of death to go on the stand at Decatur, Ala., and repudiate her former testimony against the Scottsboro boys, stood MARIA Ruby Bates. before an audience of more than 5,000, more than half of them our people, and in a clear, steady voice she told me, "The teacher was her first appearance before any audience except that in the Decatur Ala, court-room. "I was on the freight train," Ruby continued. "I saw the fight between the white and colored boys. Those boys did not say a single word to either of us girls, Victoria Price or myself. After the fight, I never saw the boys until after the train stopped at Paint Rock, Ala. They took the colored boys off, tied them up in a row and took them to Jail. They took Victoria and me, too. I did not tell the truth at the first trial because I was terrorized! I was told that if I did not say I was attacked I would be lynched myself. In a few simple words, Ruby told the teacher of her life, the life of a southern "cracker." "I went to work in the mills when I was fifteen years old. All I got was $2.55 for 55 hours work. It was not play. I worked on the night-shift, eleven hours a night. After the Scottsboro trial I went home. I realized those boys had been framed by the district and did feel right about it. I studied him. I can get to a court-room again and tell the truth. I read in the papers about the fight the I. L. D, was making to save their lives. My life was threatened in Decatur, when I went there. But I didn't think about my own life. I thought about the lives of the nine innocent Scottsboro boys. I walked to the courthouse and the truth about them. I am willing to work and fight to save them." The great audience, packed in the hall, greeted her with a thundering ovation when she first appeared, and arose as a man to its feet when she stepped forward to speak. While she spoke, there was absolute, tense silence, or spasmodic outbursts of the crowd, the finished them, a audience again arose to its feet, shouting, clapping, cheering in tribute to the southern girl who had taken her life in her hands in an effort to save the nine innocent boys, and who announced her determination to continue the work and fight to the end. Another thundering greeting was given Lester Carter, the boy ("cracker-boy"), of the school Ruby, Victoria Price, and the Scottsboro boys. Lester also faced threats of lynching to testify at Decatur in the boys' defense. A letter from Mrs. Edna Anderson Gregory, received Wednesday, brot the information that her mother, Mrs. Julia M. A. Burdine, a former resident of Ireland, suffered a paralyx after a morning, which left her in a semi-conscious condition and unable to speak. For some years Mrs. Burdine has resided with her daughter at 1740 S. St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Her many friends here will keenly regret to hear of Mrs. Burdine's serious illness, and, with her other friend and relatives, "hope for the best."

Have you noticed how the Ku Klux Klan sentiment throut the country, from the gulf to the great lakes and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has been revived since the election of the Roosevelt Democratic administration? Even Gov. "Bill" Murray of Oklahoma has ordered "separate and segregated areas" for our people and the white residents of Oklahoma city, claiming the right to do so because "in ward two of that city, during the past few weeks, there has been probability of riots and blood-shed" when as a matter of fact such is not the case. Oklahoma has "separate (jim-crow) school" laws. NO "POLITICAL ALLIANCE" NO "DUAL RELATIONSHIP." In a release that was sent to many of our newspapers throutout the country, last week, Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D.C., says: "Wilberforce (University) is involved in a political alliance between the (A. M. E.) Church and the state (Ohio). The dual relationship has become so involved and intricate that it will require high statesmanship to keep the institution true to its high ideals, while at the same time providing a balance between what we now call for its proper maintenance." Prof. Miller is WRONG as far as the foregoing is concerned. In the first place, Wilberforce University is NOT involved in any political alliance between the Church and the state. The state of Ohio supports and controls the Combined Normal and Industrial (state) department only. There never has been any "dual relationship" to "become involved and intricate." But for this so-called "political alliance" and "dual relationship," the Lord only knows what would have become of Wilberforce University long 'ere this. The financial assistance that has been netted the university ever since the beginning of the alleged "dual relationship" as a result of the establishment of the state (C. N. & I.) department has been most helpful indeed and can be over-estimated. About all of the university's educational progress since the state took over the C. N. & I. department can be credited to it, and absolutely none of the university's troubles can be charged to it. Mismanagement of Wilberforce University, the state (C. N. & I.) department excepted, by officials (members of the great A. M. E. Church) is responsible for its present deplorable financial condition, and nothing else. What the institution has needed for many, many years has been not only a capable educator at its head but more than that, one who was also a successful business man, honest, energetic and loyal. We believe that Dr. R. R. Wright, the present head of Wilberforce, is such a man. He will succeed, too, if the great A. M. E. Church will help him, as it should, to unload that more than $200,000 indebtedness that had its beginning under President Joshua H. Jones and steadily increased until the close of his son, President Gilbert Jones' administration, about a year ago. Hampton Institute's annual exercises will commence, May 25 and close, May 30, "commencement day." About 120 will receive the Bachelor of Science degree; 23, diplomas for the two-year normal curriculum; and 43, diplomas signifying the completion of a Trade School course. THE "BIG FOUR." Dr. Jos. L. Johnson of Columbus, Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh, Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins of Kansas City and Julian D. Rainey of New York City, "Negro" Democrats (?) in the last national campaign styling themselves the "Big Four," have been in conference (they say) with the Hon. James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and postmaster general, in an effort to get a few political "crumbs" from the Roosevelt administration, and are heralding the statement that Mr. Farley has given them "a sort of blanket commission which will carry with it authority to investigate the status of deserving Negro' Democrats, and to make recommendations for both federal and state positions." This sounds good, if true, but is about all the so-called "Negro' Democrats of the country will receive, judging by their experience in the past with the Stephen Grover Cleveland and Thomas Woodrow Wilson Democratic administrations, and to date with the Roosevelt administration. One can only judge the future by the past and the present. Hope in the breast of so-called "Negro' Democrats seeking jobs seems to be eternal. They never seem to realize that are always too many hungry white Democrats who have been in the Democratic party for years, and are not new members of that organization seeking jobs so soon after entering the Democratic ranks. This is the Democratic rock upon which the hopes of nearly all so-called "Negro' Democrats are wrecked as far as local, state and national Democratic candidates and administrations are concerned. Prime Sport News Metcalfe Ties World Century Mark. Kalamazoo, Mich.-Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University's Olympic dash star, tied the world's record of 9.4 in the 100-yard dash, last Saturday, as Marquette defeated Western State Normal College in a dual meet, 76 1-3 to 54 2-3. Metcalfe also took the 220 with a time of 20.9 seconds. Jones' Title Forfeited. Lansing, Mich.—James M. (Bingo) Brown, president of the National Boxing Association, announced, May 13, that the association had voted to withdraw recognition of "Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, O., as middleweight champion for "evident stalling" in a bout with Ben Jeby at Cleveland. The organization had ready been suspended for a year by the N. B. A. The organization also voted to recognize the Young Corbett-Jimmy McLarnin bout scheduled at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, today. May 20, as for the world's wetter-weight title. Recommendation of the national boxing association in the heavyweight division, Brown said, is temporarily being withheld. Boston, Mass.—Lou Brouillard former world weltweiter champion defeated Sammy Slaughter of Terre Haute, Ind., Tuesday night, in a ten-round bout at the Arena. Brouillard weighed 159 and Slaughter 159%. Brouillard, making his first mid-air move, gave him a victory. Slaughter even in two others and lost the eighth. Slaughter was dropped, for a count of nine, three times by Brouillard's heavy left to the head and body. On five other occasions Slaughter deliberately dropped and took short counts. The other trip to the canvas was when he lost his balance after three hits to head. Slaughter did by far the better boxing. All thru the contest he was able to feint Brouillard into position for stiff straight rights. Owens, the Star, as Usual. Owens, the Star, as Usual. Jesse Owens, Cleveland's East Tech sensational track star, broke three meet records, last Saturday, as his team battled neck and neck with Cathedral Latin in the district quarter at Cleveland's meet to determine his district's representation in the state meet at Columbus, today. Saturday. After shattering the broad jump record by nearly two feet in the preliminaries during the morning, Owens won the 100 and 220-yard dashes in the afternoon in record-breaking time. His new mark for the broad jump was 24 feet, $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The old mark was made by Owens in 1931. It was 22 feet, 4 inches. His two new sprint records were made official despite the track officials ruling that the jump track more than once over the wind. He ran the 100 in 9.8 seconds and the 220 in 21.8. The old record for the century was 10.2 and the former 220-yard record, 22.2, made by White of Lakewood in 1931. THE VICTOR MFG. CO.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio; Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-bar shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, that they have social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights." The world expects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. They Couldn't Believe BUT SUPPOSE SOME OF MY FRI CAME TO SEE ME YOU TOLD THEM I WORKING - WHAT WOULD THEY THINK? MOBS.

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

Our people of this city with proper self and race respect should continue to protest the "Rev. Leatherfoot and His Choir" programs given, Saturday evenings, over WGAR.

In Lent we all eat many fish And find they make a splendid dish; They tell us that they give us brains, At any rate—it's worth our pains. The Lenten season preceding Easter is always one in which fish and other kinds of sea food truly come into their own as the chief courses for many home menus. Whether you observe the period of Lent or not, I am quite sure you will find the following recipes well worth IN SEASON trying for the variety they will add to your dinner table: **Baked Halibut** 2 lbs halibut (one piece) 1 cup water 2 cups tomatoes 1 onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon sugar 3 cloves of garlic (above ingredients, except the halibut, together). Make a sauce of 1 tablespoon flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons flour 1/4 teaspoon pepper Add sauce to first mixture. Cook ten minutes. Pour half of this over fish and bake for 35 minutes, basting frequently. Serve the other half with the fish and garnish with parsley. Another delicious way of preparing halibut is: Arrange 6 thin slices of fat salt pork in a drapping pan. Cover with 1 small onion thinly sliced and add a tiny piece of bay leaf. Wipe a two pound piece of halibut and place on the onion and pork. Cream 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour and spread on the flat surface of the fried cracker crumbs and arrange thin slices of fat salt pork over the crumbs. Cover and bake for 50 minutes in a moderate oven, removing the cover the last fifteen minutes in order to brown the crumbs. Remove to hot serving dish and garnish with thin slices of lemon and sprinkle with paprika. provided such housing with the aid of philanthropy. This would necessarily remove our people as residents of that ward and elsewhere in the third district.

But there was no response. The only cable serving the village was severed. A man stood on the rear stairs, blocking her escape. She huddled on a cot, quivering with fear. **Safe Blasting Starts** A few minutes later, although it seemed hours to the terrified operator, a violent blast rocked the building. Nine powerful explosions followed at intervals of a few minutes. After the last blast, a harsh voice shouted, "Give her the shot." Panic gripped Mrs. Archeft. They meant to shoot her, she thought. But that particular fear was banished when she learned they were referring to the blasting. Then she heard an automobile leave. There was silence. After dragging minutes, she again attempted an escape down the rear stairs. But the dark form still stood guard. By that time the exchange was thick with tear gas, which poured up from the bank safe below. The tear bombs had been placed in the safe to thwart robbery. Nearly suffocated by the fumes, Mrs. Arehart wrapped a comforter around her head and laid near a crack in the door to get a breath of outside air. A car roared up in front and the terrible blasting stank again. Fainting, he heard the rattling of coins and at 4:35 the thugs left. The next night Mrs. Arehart was back at her switchboard, routing calls through the newly repaired telephone cable as calmly as though nothing had disturbed the routine of her job. n-Cup-lets Della Taylor Here is a recipe for a Salmon Loaf made with canned salmon.

This may be determined by the fullness of aroma of the eyes and firmness of the flesh. Coffee sprinkled on raw fish will keep the fish odor from scenting the refrigerator. It will not discolor the fish and can easily be wiped off. A tablespoon of vinegar added to the water in which fish is boiled will whiten the meat and make it firmer. crowded" and to stay away from Luna park roller-skating rink until they are treated there just like members of ALL other races or classes in this community.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington D.C.—NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WILLIAM PENN'S journal that adorns the portal of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve bank is soon to be removed because the bank is to have a new facade. The statue has, for four decades been a famous landmark of Philadelphia, in whose history Penn played a prominent part. "At this time, Gov. William Penn and a multitude of friends arrived here and erected a city called Philadelphia about a half mile from Shackamaxon," reads the quaint minutes of a meeting of the Society of Friends held at Shackamaxon on the banks of the Delaware in November 8, 1682. In two and a half centuries Philadelphia has become one of the world's greatest urban centers, possessing colorful history of leadership in the development of the arts and sciences and in the progress of industry. Meanwhile, Shackamaxon became a tiny park on the Delaware river, tenderly cared for by the big city that now entirely surrounds it. Philadelphia now is a metropolis of two million souls, third in size among all American urban communities and eleventh among the municipalities of the earth. It covers 80,000 acres. Despite its spread, it continues to be the city of its founder, for William Penn established its plan, selected its name, and projected its future. His care and forethought in laying out its central area in the urn-shaped district between the Delaware and the Schuylkill, with its central and satellite squares, have been perpetuated to this city. This area stands as a monument to his genius as a city planner, even in these times of amazing urban developments. The traditions and the attitudes of the long ago are maintained in this metropolis as perhaps nowhere else in America. It is no mere coincidence that Philadelphia has sixteen establishments that have been doing business consecutively from ante-Constitution days, or that the city has a number of firms that have persisted for a century. Perhaps one may gain his best idea of the city of the Pious Penn by going forthwith to its capitol, the city hall, and from the parapet of its tower getting a bird's-eye view of this metropolis. First, one notes above, the heroic statue of the founder. This huge bronze statue of Penn weighs 334.348 pounds and stands 37 feet high. All of its portions are of amazing scale—the hat 9 feet in diameter, the shoes 5 feet 4 inches long, the coat cuffs 3 feet deep, and the buttons 6 inches across. A Great World Port. Look over the outstretched city below. A magnificent river front proclaims one of the world's great ports; a towering business district tells of a financial center of the first order; a dozen industrial areas speak of manufacturing operations; parks, parkways, a canalized river, museums, stately art galleries, and fine libraries write the superscription of culture over the city; suburbs of rare beauty environ it and make such areas along the mail line and the Reading route resplendent jewels in the city's crown; railroad facilities of latest electrified type extend the city into the country and bring country into town. It was always the dream of William Penn that his city should ever remain "a greene country towne." Through these two and a half centuries the citizens steadily kept faith with his purpose, and today we find one acre out of every thirteen within its confines devoted to parks and squares. The beauty spot of the whole city is Fairmount park, one of the largest in the world. With 43 miles of drives and 44 miles of paths winding through its 3,600 acres of scenic beauty and romantic history, one who has a day to spend there revels in delightful prospects. Here is Lemon, Hill, the country home of Robert Morris, the financier of the Revolution, frequented by Washington and Jefferson, Adams and Lafayette, who sat down to break bread with the banker where the populace now may come and eat and be entertained at the concerts for which Fairmount park is famous. At the foot of this historic hill runs the Schuylkill, its east bank covered with the clubhouses of the "Schuylkill navy." For years on end Philadelphia has been conscious of a dire need for a parkway from the center of the city into Fairmount park and the northwestern section of the city. There were no diagonals from the city's center at City Hall square. Then came a time when the passenger train facilities of the Nineteenth century no longer were adequate to the second quarter of the Twentieth. Steam trains for suburban traffic became archaic. The Old Broad street station of the Pennsylvania was outgrown, the old Chestnut street station of the Baltimore & Ohio seemed a page from an almost forgotten past; and the Reading terminal—well, that might have been modern in Centennial times, but it was antiquated in the late twenties. Electrification had to come. Underground traffic was the only way to speed up the city's great suburban transportation. The opening up of the new monumental Pennsylvania station and the putting into service of the Broad street suburban station made possible the razing of the "Chinese Wall," as the great viaduct into the old Broad street station was called. In its stead there will be opened up in the not-distant future a new highway, known as Pennsylvania boulevard, extending from City Hall square to the imposing and classical east facade of the Pennsylvania terminal. The railroad improvements are resulting in the unsightly section of the Schuylkill immediately south of Fairmount park being canalized and boulevard-bordered and in giving the heart of Philadelphia that sort of a cleaning that delights every eye. Green will grow to-morrow where grime flourished yesterday, and the dreams of city planners will be living realizations where ugliness but lately reigned supreme. On her part, Philadelphia plunged into a new era of urban planning of startling proportions and magnificent conception. She would provide the diagonals to the northwest and the northeast that became so needed in the day when the automobile began to crowd every main thoroughfare. Modern Highways. The famous Roosevelt boulevard, the great diagonal to the northeast, with its broad, high-speed central lane bordered on either side by parking and local traffic lanes, took care of the northeast situation. To the northwest, from City Hall square to the entrance to West Fairmount park, runs the other diagonal, Fairmount parkway, that marvelous $30,000,000 thoroughfare which the city has opened. It was a frank appeal for the city beautiful that created this magnificent drive from city hall to the Art museum, where Fairmount park begins. A thousand buildings had to be razed. The city's industries are rooted in that remote past before the machine Philadelphia Guards a National Treasure. age reached its height and when men of high skill had to do by hand what mere machine tenders can do today. Such men loved their little homes and had no taste for tenements. Their sons and their sons' sons have followed. This home-loving spirit has played an important role in shaping Philadelphia's problems. Those of urban transportation have never been so pressing, for the Philadelphia wage earner prefers to have his home within walking distance of the factory in which he is employed; and whether in Tacony or Manayunk, Bridesburg or Passyunk, Kensington or Southwark, you will find the average workman living near his place of employment. The same circumstances that served to make the Philadelphia artisan a man with a distaste for tenements, but intent with an ambition to own a home, have served to make him a man with a leaning toward savings bank accounts and building and loan investments. A concomitant of all of these qualities is the industrious habit, through which Philadelphia has attained the distinction of having the highest percentage of skilled labor of any major city. With such a fine quality of labor, it is little wonder that the national census-takers were able to find 277 distinct lines of commodities being manufactured in the Philadelphia metropolitan area; that it ranks first in the output of hosiery and knit goods; in carpet and rugs; in cotton lace and saws, and high in the manufacture of leather, hats, fur felt, linoleum, and many other commodities. In a normal year the great workshop of the world produces 2,000,000,000 worth of manufactured products, including 45,000,000 yards of carpet, 7,000,000 hats, 400,000 cigars, and 10,000,000 saws. With but one-sixteenth of the nation's population, the city of the great Penn produces about one twenty-fifth of all its manufactures. Travel where he will, from polar circle to polar circle, in any longitude, around the earth, the traveler will never get away from the things that Philadelphia buys, the things it makes, and the things it sells. From every land come the raw materials it needs in the fabrication of the thousand and one things it manufactures. Philadelphia-built locomotives draw trains to the top of the Andes, into the heart of China, through the solitudes of the Congo. Philadelphia-built steamships sall the seven seas and fly their flags in every port in the world. Philadelphia-made medicines heal the sickness of the savage in Borneo and Zululand, soothe the aches and still the pains of people from Tombouctou and Kamchakta to Nome and Rio. Forest and field, mine and quarry, ocean bed and mountain top, jungle and desert, pampa and steppe, frozen tundra and tropic beach, alike trade with the metropolis of Penn. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 20. 1933 GIBSON GIRL BACK ON FASHION PLATE Separate Skirt and Blouse Features Revival. The Gibson girl staged a revival for herself with the infux of the cannotier. When Americans got through translating cannotier, they found it was just the old-time sailor back again, looking not a bit old-fashioned. Subsequently, the sailor has appeared in all big French and American collections, done one way or another. Now, we feel that, very tiny and "high" looking (in line with the spring millinery trend), it will occupy an even more prominent position than it has done. An amusing point in this back-to-Gibson movement is the revival of the separate skirt and blouse. Along with the great enthusiasm for suits this spring these are popular and promise to vie with dresses. For a limited income, the advantages are obvious. You buy yourself a well-cut wool or silk skirt and a half dozen blouses. You can ring all sorts of combinations and make your wardrobe look much larger and more elastic than it really is. Nice for girls with jobs. SHOULDER WIDTH By CHERIE NICHOLAS The chic of the new spring suits and coats depends largely upon the novelty of their shoulder treatments. There is Mme. Schiaparelli, for instance, who is of the younger generation of Paris couturiers and who is especially gifted in the creation of original sportswear. None other but a designer of renown would dare do the unique things she does to achieve shoulder width. Bright blue woolen with a slightly darker blue for the skirt fashions the sprightly Schiaparelli suit pictured. Copper links fasten the jacket. The blouse is of powder blue crepe. The hat represents a version of the new style which trends to crown height. STYLE NOTES Frilly blouses are in fashion. The bigger the bow the smarter. Cotton fabrics are high fashion. Polka dot satin for the blouse is very new. Many fine pleats for fullness is latest edict. Many frocks concentrate style interest at the back. Chamois or suede vests with the suit are good style. Detachable sleeves, gilets and shoulder capes button on. Horsehair Fabrics Used In New Style Trimmings Fashion has taken to the horse and who will say neigh? Experts have created a special hand knit wool resembling angora, but instead of goat hairs—which they are willing to solemnly swear are not in it—they have sprinkled horsehairs in to the fabric to give it that crisp up and standing appearance essential to hats, cuffs and collars and other accessories after the mode. We hear, too, that wool ribbon for millinery and wool straw-braided wool by another name—will call upon man's best friend to shake a few hairs into it to give it the necessary style for early spring! Evening Hats A little evening hat to wear with cocktail or dinner costumes has taken the smart world by storm. Paillette berets, horsehair turbans and velvet circlelets are chosen to harmonize with the rest of the costume and worn aslant on a perfectly coiffed head in a manner designed to display much of the coiffure. SHOES KEEP PACE WITH DRESS MODES Footwear Pays Its Compliment to Dressmaker. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," says an important Paris shoe stylist, "and footwear is paying this compliment to the dressmaking industry." She explains that when the higher neckline appeared on dresses immediately the throat of every shoe was higher. The tie model added an eyelet or two and the four or five eyelet shoe is now quite usual. Even the afternoon pump acquired a slightly higher throat line by some unusual collar effect, tongue or buckle. Millinery struck a high back note also, with trimming and height at the back of the head, and footwear followed this lead with trimming and height at the back of the foot. Lucile Paray's mannequins wore footwear of the kidlet type; navy blue shoes of glace kid coming to a distinct point up the back of the ankle. Vera Borea at the last "openings" showed some interesting footwear, the trimming of which was invariably concentrated to the back of the foot. IN ELEANOR BLUE By CHERIE NICHOLAS Even the first lady in the land has an eye to being practical when it comes to dress, for in choosing the material for the gown she wore during the inaugural ceremonies, she selected noncrushable crystelle velvet with emphasis on the word noncrushable. It was in Eleanor blue, as you know. The interesting thing about this now-so-popular blue is that it is decidedly a hyacinth tone, quite different from the Alice blue with which most of us are familiar. Now, all this preamble is leading up to telling you that the graceful seven-eighth summer wrap with its interesting scarf treatment here pictured is made of this new and very much-to-be coveted, because of its practical wearing qualities, Eleanor blue noncrushable velvet. Here is something else worth noting, the gown underneath is of white washable velvet, which again is most practical. FLASHES FROM PARIS Feather boas are worn like leis. Fantastic epaulets top evening gowns. Gloves of either satin or pique are in vogue. Emphasis is placed on lacquered satin for evening. Cossack hats top smart military-looking costumes. Crisp party frocks have frothy, billowy widened hemlines. The newest metal bracelets look more like deep flaring cuffs. Little jackets of pique or organ-die are worn in the evening. Skirts for Sportswear to Be Exceedingly Short The silhouette continues to show width at the shoulders, but this is modified. Fullness juts from the knee by the use of kick plaits, or the skirt is tiered. Thirdly, there is the chemise silhouette, which Paris likes so well, loose and straight. Waistlines are never higher than normal. Skirts for sports are very short. For day and evening they are long. We have a horrible suspicion that the ankle-length afternoon dress will be on the sidewalks of New York before the year is out, and how women are going to hate them, after the glorious freedom of the medium lengths! Coats are raglan, loose, thoroughly informal, as they are abroad. Detachable capes are a feature of many sports and day outfits. Colorful Jewels Colored brooches and clips of cabochon rubies, emeralds and sapphires set in the form of a bouquet of flowers or a conventionalized basket of fruit are a spring fashion favorite. CRASH!—A 200-foot cliff collapsed near San Clemente, California, carrying to destruction Mayor Murphine's $50,000.00 mansion. KIDNAPPED CHILD RETURNS!—$60,000 ransom brought Peggy McMath, 10, back to parents. Police nabbed Kenneth (left) and Cyril Buck, brothers, and recovered the money. FARM BREW: FUEL OPPOSED BY GOVERNORS!—Governors Cross, Connecticut; Johnson, Colorado; Cooney, Montana; Talmadge, Georgia, are among state executives wiring Pres. Roosevelt to kill alcohol-gasoline blending bill, which would raise motoring costs, increase taxes. READY FOR SUMMER SPORTS!—A whale's eye view of Maureen O'Sullivan on her aquaplane. Lella Hyame starts her daily dozen of 3.2. Ann St. George tries pedal ping pong, and that's Verna Hillie going pedal motorcycle.

Nautical Phone Girls Outdo Flood Handicap GARAGE Views of inundated business district at Ripley. Lower left: Telephone operators leaving exchange by boat. ALTHOUGH for a week during the spring floods, the water. As it erupts higher swollen Ohio river poured virtually because, an informa a four-foot blanket of water over the streets of Ripley, O, the town's telephone service went on. With the water completely surrounding The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's second-story exchange in the heart of the town, telephone workers turned nautical. Operators were rowed to and from work, with linemen acting as gondoliers. Installers and trouble shooters paddled through the streets, repairing lines and saving equipment from the water. Local service was maintained for 75 per cent of the town's subscribers during the flood. Some of the residents fled to higher ground, but many remained in their homes and watched the steady rise of the water. As it crept higher and higher, the telephone exchange virtually became an information bureau, answering hundreds of queries from anxious subscribers. Operators continually checked the level of the Ohio river with government officials at Portsmouth, Maysville, Ky., and other river points, and passed the information along to the callers. One by one long distance lines leading out of Ripley were swept away by the flood, until Maysville was the only river point that could be reached. But the line to Maysville withstood the onslaught of current and Ripley subscribers were never without communication to the outside world. The telephone company supplied similar information service for Ironton and other river towns during the flood.
