The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Again The Rounder hears rumor that Arthur Johnston, former mayor of Miles Heights Village, is a candidate for the City Council in the 17th Ward, opposing the candidacy of Councilman Roy Bundy. The incipient candidacy for the council some weeks ago, of Charlie White, Councilman Clayborne George's law-partner, seems to have been snuffed out early and entirely with the result that Charlie apparently is taking no interest in 18th Ward politics, these days, and "suking in his tent." He expected the Councilman to back his candidacy rather than that of J. E. Hubbard, as supporter of the time, the other Republican candidates in that ward, Chas. S. Smith and Dr. E. A. Bailey, are busy "beating the bushes" for additional supporters and getting them. The writer, a bit old-fashioned can't quite get used to the latest in feminine wear. Some years ago either the women or fashion decreed that the former should exhibit their naked shoulders and busts to the general public. This was done with a vengeance. Then came the edict favoring very short skirts so the stockings (of course, not the legs) could be exhibited to the same general public. Now they tight in its upper half that the girls (old and young) are putting on a rear exhibition, to the same general public, that is not only extremely amusing at times but positively heart-rending to the "old-fashioned." What will the next be? We will have two internes at City Hospital, this fall. There should be four! There will be three of our girls in the School for Nurses there, and there should be more! The impression given out, last week, by local publications, and race papers circulating in this city, that our Councilmen had anything to do with open access to the school and the School for Nurses to our girls, is WRONG. It was Dr. F. W. Walz, a councilman (German), who introduced the resolution, terminating the three-year fight of The Gazette, assisted by Geo. A. Myers (deceased), to open all the departments of City Hospital to our people. Therefore, "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy) were the first to open the fact that Dr. Frederick Douglass Stubbs, of Wilmington, Del., and others finished so successfully and satisfactorily to all concerned an interneship at City Hospital. The Rounder learns that the East Side Roosevelt-Repeal league has made quite a record in the last two weeks and accomplished what a big Democratic political leader said was impossible. Working in the banner Republican ward of the county, the 18th (registered voters, 6,300), the workers of the league, under the leadership of Frank J. Hawkins and A. H. Dorsey, have secured 2,000 signatures to Congressman Martin L. Sweeney's position for mayor, nomination and expect to have 400 more by the end of the week. Similarly in the rock-ribbled 17th ward, which is under their general supervision, with Edward Shaw as ward leader, they secured 1,800 names for Judge Sweeney for mayor. The work was done by precincts, house to house. The 17th and 18th ward councilmen are those "Blossom Triplets," Bundy and George. This don't look so good for them, does it? M. W. R. O. Walker, wife of the editor of the Call-Post, left Sunday, to visit in Washington, D. C. GILLESPIE FETED! A Joint Conference, of S. S. and C. E. Delegates, Hold Interesting Sessions—Group Meetings, a Symposium on Education and a Debate—Gillespie Resolutions. Wilberforce, O.—More than 200 young people from Sunday Schools and Christian Endeavor societies of Ohio A. M. E. churches were in joint sessions here, last week. A number of officers, ministers and others of the Church were also in attendance. The welcome address was delivered by William W. Wilberforce University and there were several responses. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. Harry Maxwell of Steubenville. A number of educa- Hon. Chester K. Gillespie. tional and religious subjects were discussed by President Wright, Revs Horace C. Jenkins, H. G. Payne, R. C Ransom, Jr., and others. There were also a number of group meetings and a symposium on Christian education, held Wednesday morning. The conference closed, last week Friday evening, with a debate. Rev. J. O. Anderson of St. John's church, Rev. David O. Walker of St. James church, Cleveland, were in attendance. An exceptionally enjoyable reception was tendered Representative Chester K. Gillespie of Cleveland, last week Wednesday evening, on the lawn of Mr. Howard Gregg, superintendent of the C. N. & I. (State) Department. It was sponsored by Department officers and instructors in recognition of Mr. Gillespie's success in securing the passage of a $60,000 amendment to the general appropriation bill of the State Assembly, a few weeks ago, the amount to be used in raising the salaries of instructors to equal those paid such instructors of other state supported institutions. Addresses were delivered by Supt. Gregg, Dr. J. E. Owen and Mr. Gillespie of Cleveland. Chapman R. Frank Hall of Cheinmatti. Blisson R. Frank and Pres. R. R. Wright, Jr. Prof. Chas. S. Smith of the School of Commerce offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: In appreciation of the splendid work accomplished by the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, our honored and distinguished guest, and citizen of Cleveland, and a representative from Cuyahoga County in the Ohio Legislature, the officers of Wilberforce University and the C. N. & I. (State) Department, where he assembled, give him a tribute of honor for his splendid work in helping to secure the enactment of the general appropriation bill which included an amendment for an additional $60,000 which he introduced and successfully urged and which is to be used to increase the salaries of the C. N. & I. (State) Department officers, Our honored guest is our only member of the school in Ohio, and the officers of the school and its teachers cannot commend Mr. Gillespie too highly for his good work. In further appreciation of the high esteem we have for his excellent work the following resolution was also offered: Resolved that a standing vote and the Chautaquale salute be given Mr. Gillespie; that the executive board on behalf of the trustees of Wilberforce University be asked to send a letter of congratulation to Mr. Gillespie for helping to secure the passage of a bill giving an increased appropriation to the school; that we commend Mr. Gillespie to his contribution to the county of Cuyahoga and should he be a candidate for re-election to the legislature in 1934, ask that they give him their loyal support and use all honorable means to secure his reelection; that a copy of this resolution be sent to the trustee board of the C. N. & I. (State) Department and that it be respectfully asked to spread same on the pages of its minutes; that a copy be sent to our press of Cleveland and other race publications; that one be sent to the faculty of the C. N. & I. (State) Department and that a general faculty of Wilberforce University and be recorded in their minutes; and that a copy be forwarded to the Hon. and Mrs. Chester K. Gillespie of Cleveland, O. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS TO LEAD THE WAY FOR OUR PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, SAYS ITS PRESIDENT. In an Address, Sunday Evening, at the Biennial Meet of Our National Association of Women's Clubs. Chicago, Ill.—Sunday night was educational night at the biennial session of our National Association of Women's Clubs at Mt. Olivet Baptist church here. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., president of Wilberforce University and editor of the Christian Recorder; was the speaker on "Some Newer Educational Trends." Dr. Wright is a native of the state of Georgia; received his training in the south, west, east and abroad, holding A. B. from the Georgia State College, Savannah; A. M. and B. D. from the University of Chicago, and Ph. D. from the University of Penn- COMBINATION LAKE AND AUTO TRIPS GROW IN POPULARITY. Because of its convenience and freedom from any fixed schedule, the family automobile has evolved into the favorite vacation vehicle. However, long distances become wearisome and the average family soon feels the desirability of something more comfortable, the tension which necessarily accompanies extended tours. For this reason, motorists who are driving east or west either way between Buffalo and Cleveland or those who have Canadian vacation points as their destination, welcome the opportunity offered by the C. & B. Line of steamers to save a day's time, a day's driving, and a day's rest. The autonomy of the trip by putting their automobiles on board one of the great C. & B. steamers and enjoy the luxurry of an overnight lake trip. Steamers leave Cleveland and Buffalo every night at 9 o'clock and arrive at their respective destinations at 7:30 in the morning. This with auto fares as low as $3.00 one way and $5.00 round trip, and passenger fares as low as $3.75 one way and $6.50 round trip and berths as low as $1.00, the cost of the bus will be the Benito night and morning the travelers are 200 miles farther on their way with the total cost less than a day's driving. Many of the tourists go to Canada by way of Buffalo, but those driving north from Ohio, Pennsylvania and the south particularly appreciate the convenience of the Cleveland-Port Stanley, Ontario Division of the C. & B. Lines. Steamers operate on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays of each week. Round trip tickets, either for passenger or the boo Buffalo or are accepted either by the Boo Buffalo or the Stanley, Ontario Division so that it is possible for the tourists to go into Canada one way and return the other, giving an interesting variation to the trip as well as saving time and expense. The fact that automobile fares are now the lowest in lake history is doing much to make the cost of automobile fares more popular in tourists and is increasing the THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compilations with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the Nine Greatest publications in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

By the 30th Ward Republican Club —Councilman Sacks Obtains Five-Cent Zone Fare—His Announcement. Councilman Charles Sacks announced his candidacy for re-election to the City Council in the 30th Ward, at a precinct committeemeet's meeting, and at the regular 30th Ward evening. At the regular 30th Ward Republican club meeting, last week Tuesday evening, he announced the inauguration of a five-cent zone-fare from E. 93rd St. to E. 154th St. on Kinsman Rd. Mr. Sacks also asked all members to support the following candidates, members of the club: Apple Paul and Maurice Kahn, candidates for membership the board of Joseph H. Joseph H. and Edward Siegle, candidates for municipal judge, one and 2-year term, respectively. Each candidate was given an opportunity to speak. Mr. Apple, age 39, was born and reared in this city. He is married and has two children, a son, Arnold, attending John Hay High school and a young student. John is a qualified member in the board of education by twenty-five years of successful business experience here in Cleveland. LANGSTON HUGHES Quits Soviet Russia for Japan and is "Fired!" From, That Country. Tokio, Japan—James Langston Hughes, poet, of Cleveland, O. U. S. A., engaged passage on the steamer Taiyo Maru from Yokohama, Tuesday, for San Francisco, after six hours of questioning by Tokio police, who suspected him of communicating with the Japanese Communist movement which is being vigorously suppressed. This was not proved, but the police "suggested" that Hughes leave Japan immediately. He arrived here, Sunday, from Shanghai after recently visiting long in Soviet Russia. Eleven Japanese visitors in the same hotel were also questioned as suspected of Communism but they were later released, too. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

Age announces, that in response to its appeals, the National Broadcasting Company has taken a stand against the use of the mongrel terms, "darkey," etc., some times used in broadcasting. Good work, Editor Fred R. Moore. --- We remember well the Rev. Charles Randolph Uncles, our first priest to be ordained in the United States by the Roman Catholic Church. He met the most sanguine expectations of all through the 73 years of his life—an outstanding credit to his church and his people. A careful reading of President R. R. Wright's address "On Educational Trends," delivered Sunday night in Chicago at the biennial session of our Association of Women's Clubs, will pay. Dr. Wright approached his subject from several new angles, rather novel and yet interesting. Catherine Yarborough appeared with the Chicago Opera Company at the N. Y. Hippodrome, Saturday night, in "Alda," singing the title role. This is the second time a woman of the race has had this role in a grade 1 opera company. A few years ago, Florence Cole-Talbert sang the role at the University of Washington Stadium in Seattle. --- If there is one thing the inter-racial organizations of the South are entitled to full credit for, it is for their good work in getting leading white women of that section of the country interested sufficiently to protest lynch-murder. This has been done and vigorously, too, in at least several southern states within the year. See Atlanta letter, elsewhere in this paper. Democratic New York City and State are vying with Georgia and other "unreconstructed" southern states in the viciousness of their persecution of Percy Owens (referred to elsewhere in this paper), the 18-year-old lad of the race who was coaxed across the color-line by his "sweet-heart" (white) and had the temerity to embrace the opportunity in an illegal way. This latter, of course, we cannot condone. Ohio State University's president and board of trustees, assisted by the state Supreme Court, have forced Miss Doris Weaver of this city to get her practical training in home economics in the State Department at Wilberforce, at a salary of $1,400 a year. She is a teacher in the home economics bureau of the State Department there, a position that Representative Chester K. Gillespie of this city secured for her in recent weeks. The mayor of Massillon is trying to use money from a local unemployment fund to build a separate swimming pool for our people of that city. He claims that the state supreme court decision in the Doris Weaver Ohio State University case gives him the legal right to do something which will violate our Ohio Civil Rights law. The matter is to be taken into the courts for settlement. The mayor's foolish effort is an indication of how very harmful that state supreme court decision is and shows clearly why it should not be permitted to stand any longer than it takes our people of the state to have it wiped out by the U. S. Supreme court. The recognition of the good work done for the C. N. & I. (State) Department of Wilberforce University at the recent sessions of the Ohio Assembly by State Representative Gillespie was timely and very pleasing not only to him but to all of our people of the state of Ohio who love to see credit given to those who deserve it. It is not often that our people are so thouflal as well as appreciative. So the officers and faculty of the State Department at Wilberforce, and all others who participated in the very enjoyable reception tendered Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie, last week Wednesday, are also to be praised for good work done. Especially pleasing and satisfactory was the resolution introduced by Prof. Chas. S. Smith and "unanimously adopted." HOOVER AND ROOSEVELT We never could quite understand why Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt absolutely refused to intervene and stop the U. S. War Department from "jim-crowing" our Gold Star Mothers who were sent to Europe to visit the graves of their martyred sons who lost their lives in the World War. One prefers to feel that men big enough to be elected Chief Executives of this great nation are too big to permit such as that. They wouldn't dare permit the Gold Star Mothers of any other group or class of American citizens to be so insulted, humiliated and mistreated. And by the same token, no other class or group of Americans would so supinely submit to it without striking back, almost en masse, when the opportunity was afforded on election day. People who have so little self and race respect cannot expect others to respect them. Prime Sport News Two "colored" baseball teams, members of the "Negro" national league, played two interesting games last Sunday afternoon, on the old grounds of the local American League team, the owners of which absolutely refuse to employ a Jewish player. The team also play a Jewish ballplayer (Galatzer), however. What wonderful (?) people are some "Negroes." They compliment, patronize and even praise some times, their bitterest enemies—those who not only kick them, figuratively speaking, but deny them citizen-nights and privileges. No wonder they are so hard to formalize for the purpose of throwing the first ball over (or near) the plate. Metcalfe Runs 9.6 in Europe Stockholm, Sweden —Capped by another pair of brilliant victories for Ralph Metcalfe and Glenn Cunningham, America's touring track stars wound up a protracted meet with the athletes of eleven nations last week Friday night with a record of fifteen victories in eighteen events on the field. But the team, ham, crack Kansas miler, turned in his third triumph, racing Eric Ny of Sweden ragged again to win the 1,500 meters in 3 minutes, 53 seconds. Metcalfe, American national sprint champion, sped through 100 yards in 9.6 seconds, beating Berger, the 1,500-meter champion, European dash men, by two-tenths of a second. It also was Metcalfe's third victory. Mayor Miller "Sidesteps." Our big-leaguers of baseball had their day at League Park, Sunday afternoon, as they treated 4,000 enthusiastic rooters to 21 innings of action. The Pittsburgh Crawfords trimmed the Chicago Giants in both games, the first 8 to 1, and the second in twelve innings, 13 to 12. Pitcher Streeter, Crawford mound ace, yielded but four hits as his mates won the opener. City Law Djler, who failed the pivotal defense, threw the first ball over the plate. Oscar Charleston, James Bell and Josh Gibson are Pittsburgh slugging stars, while Satchel Paige is their star speedball threat. The Chicagoans boast Willie Foster, one of the best left-handers in the game: Stearns, Suttles and Brown. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Our national convention of Elks will be held, next month, in Chicago. Rev. Buell G. Gallagher, age 29, of Passaic, N. J., is the new president of Talladega, Ala. College. C. P. Nix, of Greenville, Miss., a letter carrier, raised a 52 pound watermelon, the largest this season in that section of the country. Dr. Joseph H. Ward, medical officer in charge of the U. S. V. hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., since July; 1924, is to remain in charge of it under the Roosevelt administration, it is said. The General Educational Board has spent more than $30,000,000 since 1902, advancing "Negro" education. During 1931-32, $1,416,293 was appropriated for the advancement of our educational institutions. Corporal Peter Hardley, Jr., of Camden, Ala., was recently awarded an army medal for shooting an insane Afro-American trooper, Jas. H. Abernathy (Jas. H. Abernathy) who was wun Dec. 29, 1932, shooting to death two officers (white, one a captain) and their wives. SHE LOVES HIM! This Persecution in New York City and Not in Georgia—The Girl Was Not Ocerved. New York City.—Percy Owens, age 18, a member of the "jim-crow" 369 regiment of this city, was a rested, two month old, rape-tender, disposed the fact that a young woman (white), with whom he had been working, voluntarily chose to live with him, in spite of his remonstrances that this arrangement might cause trouble. The judge asked her if she knew that young Owens was a "Negro," to which she replied that she was quite aware of it and also that she loved him. The young couple experienced a desire to spite of this, Owens is still being held for re-trial, date of which was not set. This is here in New York City and not down in "Hell" (Georgia). CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 29. 1933 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have allowed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one or pretending to exercise personal power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 1.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6255. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6256. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons involved in the attack, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action.

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, barber-shop, public byway by bridge water that or other 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 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. WOMEN PROTEST LYNCHING. A Committee of Well-Known Woman (White) Calls Upon Sheriffs and Other Officials in Counties Where Lynchings Have Recently Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia women (white), distressed and humiliated by the three recent lynchings in the state, have given to the public statements deploring and condemning the crimes. They did not, however, stop the lynchings, the sheriff and other law enforcement officers Warren and Baker counties, where the lynchings occurred, were visited recently by a committee composed of Mrs. W. J. Neel, for Forsyth; Mrs. M. E. Tilly, of Atlanta; Mrs. E. M. Bailey, of Acworth, and Mrs. C. C. Sapp, of Albany. Each member of the committee holds an important official position in either the Southern Metho- tery or the North Carolina Committee, which was accompanied by Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames of the Council of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching, demanded of the officers that immediate and positive steps be taken to apprehend and punish those who were guilty of lynch-murder. Prominent citizens were also interviewed, and meetings were held with women representing the victims of these meetings, the Methodist missionary society of Warrenton published in the county paper the following statement: "Whereas, our community has lately been saddened and also placed in a very bad light before the public by a dual murder and a lynching, be it resolved that "We, the members of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Warrenton, Georgia, do regret with our whole hearts the terrible blot that has been placed on our state and nation by this lynching and especially do we regret that our own city was the scene of this deed. "We sincerely wish to join with all the women of our Church to do all in our power to prevent a recurrence of such a crime." This is the first time that a group of women (white) representing state-wide organizations has gone into a county where lynch-murder has taken place to appeal directly to the women of the county and to the officers.

Top, Mrs. Bess G. Brewer; left, William J. Witte; right, Charles J. Neum; bottom, Herbert R. Woods. With insurance and other vital statistics recording a considerable increase in minor injuries, the Red Cross Products Division of Johnson and Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J., recently undertook to educate the public to the value of first aid and the necessity of promptly taking care of injuries, bruises, wounds, infections and bruises which, when neglected often lead to complications. Utica, N. Y., Mr. H. R. Woods, Woods Drug Corp., Evansville, Ind., and Mr. C. J. Neum, Morgan and Millard, Inc., Baltimore, Md., were selected as first prize winners in the four divisions, while twenty-seven lesser prizes in each division were awarded. The contest winners showed a great deal of ingenuity and keenness in their efforts, the value of first aid. Window displays and radio talks, announcement and the stage of Utica, N. Y., Mr. H. R. Woods, Woods Drug Corp., Evansville, Ind., and Mr. C. J. Neun, Morgan and Millard, Inc., Baltimore, Md., were selected as first prize winners, while twenty-seven lesser prizes in each division were awarded. The contest winners showed a great deal of ingenuity and keenness in educating the public to identify first aid and window displays and first aid talk, nouncement from the stage, of local theatres and essay contests by school children, demonstrations on life and on wax models were some of the methods used to inform on the increasing necessity for paying attention to little hurts. Making America first aid conscious—a titanic task was accomplished in the three months through the logical medium of the public-spirited group which is always ready to serve—the corner druggist, who sells band-aids and Red Cross gauze, cotton and nails, and other nets which are mighty important in the family medicine chest. So effectively did this education progress and so widespread were the results that Mr. Ellsworth Gale, director of the Red Cross Division of Johnson and Johnson announced that a somewhat similar contest would be held in the fall, and thought of taking care of itself, would not be forgotten by the public. Staging an essay contest for druggists, assistants and drug clerks, the Red Cross Division of Johnson and Johnson offered four trips to Europe as major prizes to druggists in the various countries. The most effectively stimulate the public's interest in first aid. The four first prize winners are sailing on the S. S. Scythia from New York late in July for a tour of Europe in which they will visit the French city of Paris, London, Brussels, Heidelberg and many other cities. Of the thousands who entered the contest, Mrs. Bess G. Brewer, Brewer Drug Co., Oklahoma Drug Co., Oklahoma England, and McCaffrey, Inc.

The new organdie suits have arrived. They're not so blizzard as you might think. And are extremely new. They are in dark colors usually—navy, brown of even black—in either plain or all-over embroidered fabrics, and they're worn with white or pastel organdie blouses with a crisp ruffle or ruche around the neck. Most fetching. Most of them have loose three-quarter mandarin coats and slim gored skirts. They're cool and crisp and smart for midsummer wear. A nice combination is a suit of navy blue organdie—skirt and three-quarter coat—and a blouse of shell pink organdie. Your hat may be navy organdie, too, if you like. Or if you don't want to match everything up too completely, the good old white panama is always safe and smart. Organdie for evening is, of course, a summer classic. If you like your gown white, then have your jacket of black orlgandie or red, or some of the fresh, clear pastels. If you lean toward the new dark tones, make the jacket white or light, but make it organdie. And be sure it has layers of petal-like wings at the shoulders to give you that important flyaway look. THE FASHION WEEK An important message from style headquarters is the renewed interest which is being shown in satin. The vogue reflects not only in the black satin jacket suits and one-piece dresses which the smart set is wearing about town at present, but satin as a trimming on print or plain crepe frocks is a highlighted fashion. The black and white summertime print frock in sheer crepe of bemberg here pictured has a white satin bow at the neck and at the waist. The brief matching jacket which this fashionably gowned young woman is carrying has wide satin cuffs. Lyolene designs this practical wrap-around model for afternoon wear. The beauty about these handsome bemberg crepes is that while they look expensive they are not expensive, and what's more they tub perfectly. FLASHES FROM PARIS Newest prints take on reddish tones. The "tiara" turban in black and white is new. Metal berthas register among newest items in costume jewelry. Sheathlike skirts with a flounce at the hemline is newest silhouette. Huge buttons, novelty belts and unusual clips provide smart trims. Black and white jewelry appears to wear with black and white ensembles. Mitts of black transparent velvet are displayed in the new Paton collection. Fashion Does Not Take Kindly to Mannish Shoes Shoes, we learn from the expert bottiers in Paris, have decided very definitely against going mannish. With one voice they chorus, "We are going to keep the feminine foot feminine—no heavy masculine looking shoes for our shops." And for the strictly tilted suit—which, if they do not exactly approve of, they tolerate—a pint-tucked kldskln oxford is advocated. An alternate choice is another oxford, but perforated instead of pln-tucked. Of course, in either case, the pocketbook can be had to match, and on special order you can get a belt and gloves. Fabric Gloves Chic Don't be afraid of the new fabric gloves. Striped cotton ones may match your waistcoat, your scarf or your hat. Don't Thi But Give it BLACK AND WHITE COAT FOR AUTUMN Just a Bit Early, Perhaps, but Interesting. All wound up and some place to go calls for something particularly smart in the matter of wearing apparel. Worth takes care of the situation in a number of ways. One, for instance, is with a black and white plaid coat, designed for early autumn which has built out shoulders and fastens with a big black velvet bow. It is straight in line with lots of human interest centered in the sleeves and collar. To be wound up and headed for the beach it wouldn't be a bad notion to have that very swagger black linen frock from Worth that has large bell-shaped sleeves, a white collar with a big bunch of black and white flowers at the point of the front decolletage. A wide black and white belt brings the outfit up a notch in smartness and things like shoe, purse and hat have the option of being black or white or both. COSTUME JEWELRY By CHERIE NICHOLAS Taking a "forward look" as to fashion trends the most significant message being flashed across the horizon as to the future is—costume jewelry! This revival of an interest in jewelry which shall play a part in smart ensembles is really not a surprise. It is inevitable that it should be so. Now that the style world finds itself in the midst of an era of elegance in dress, the call for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, novel clips, buckles and such follows as naturally as does the night the day. Lack of space keeps us from attempting to enumerate all the intriguing items which are included in the pageantry of jewelry which will take place during the months to follow. Just now the fad is on for white jewelry. Which is why the white organdie frocked debutante posed at the top of this sketch selected a dainty necklace composed of satiny white oblong beads, the seven or eight strands of which festoon from an arrangement of dull ornaments and small silver beads. With her pale mousseline frock the young woman seated below in the picture is wearing a necklace and bracelet formed of oblong opaque beads strung between metal bars which match the twisted-in-a figure-eight metal ornament. The design is carried out, half white, half blue. STYLE NOTES Rick-rack braid trims sheer neckwear. Black satin suits are smart for town wear. Smart shops feature corduroy sports coats. Black linen is good style for every hour in the day. Fashion highlights sheer costumes for both day and evening wear. Some of the most fetching bathing suits are made of unbleached muslin. Plaid or striped organdles and chiffons are outstanding among fabrics for summertime frocks. Traveling Modes Simple for Summer Vacationist There was a time when the average traveler looked like she was starting out for musket drill—what with umbrella, carpet-bag, overshoes and box lunch, not to mention smelling salts for train sickness. Now, one's walking shoes can "take it," which dispenses with the rubbers, and the topcoat is cravenetted, which throws a wrench into the umbrella's ubliquity. The sophisticated traveler wears glove-silk underwear instead of carrying a five-pound flatiron, and she rings for a cooling drink rather than being silly enough to monkey with smelling salts, and lastly she prefers sparring with a couple of dresses and dozens of accessories, to 14 dresses and a litter of trunks. Black Accessories All-black accessories with bright hued frocks are the latest fashion. Summer frocks of geranium red, forget-me-not blue and cloud gray are worn with dead black hats, gloves and bags, while dark frocks appear with all white accents. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 29. 1933 FREEDOM'S BIRD IS IN DANGER War on the Bald Eagle Based on Slanders. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. = WNIL Service. BIRD lovers, distur'd by the threatened extermination of the white-headed or bald eagle, have taken up the fight to protect America's bird of freedom whose rugged profile adorns American seals and colons as the emblem of the nation. In its structure and habits, the eagle is a large hawk, of close kin to the falcons, buzzards, and harriers of every cline, but the biggest, boldest and most powerful raptor of them all. The female, which in the American eagle is the larger sex, may attain a length of 43 inches, may spread 8 feet, and, according to Audubon, may weigh from eight to twelve pounds, though these last figures may be greatly exceeded in captive birds. It is a stranger to fatigue, can probably lift its own weight, and has been known to carry a lamb over a distance of five miles. Our eagle is content to subsist upon fish whenever there is an ample supply, but is too partial to waterfowl to become a favorite with sportsmen, though it never kills for sport; and is too fond of chicken dinners, mutton chops and suckling pig ever to become popular in rural communities. Now it has been accused, though with scant show of justice, of destroying salmon and young reindeer in Alaska, where the territorial legislature has set a price upon its hoary head. For ten years or more a ruthless war has been waged against our national bird in that territory, until more eagles have been destroyed—some estimates running as high as forty or fifty thousand—than were thought to exist on the whole continent. It is safe to say that forty thousand eagles could not appreciably affect the supply of Alaskan salmon in forty thousand years. But man, with his wasteful methods, intent only on present gains, must find a culprit and the eagle was a convenient victim. Franklin Derided Him. But this is not all; for, aside from the eagle's occasional raids upon the farmer's stock and poultry, which in most parts of the country are far from habitual or serious, our bird's moral character has been assailed. His reputed turpitude was early expressed by Benjamin Franklin in a letter written in France on January 26, 1784, and has been quoted with approval since. At that time the Order of Cincinnatus, which had been recently created in America and had adopted the "bald eagle" as its emblem, was a fair target for critics on both sides of the water. Franklin thought that a bird which was too lazy to fish for himself, but robbed the honest fish hawk on every occasion, and was so rank a coward as to permit the little kingbird to "drive him out of the district," was "by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America," who by their prowess had "driven all the kingbirds from our country." Franklin had been a member of the first committee designated by congress to prepare a suitable device for the United States, and as his design was rejected it would not have been surprising had he felt a little resentment at the substitution to be made later. The eagle, like the fish hawk, must follow the instincts with which nature has endowed it, but that upon occasion it is a carrion-feeder, like most of its kind, is probably to be set down to its credit. Perhaps it is too late to point out that the eagle is never "driven out of the district" by the kingbird or by any other living being except a man armed with a gun. It is true that he is constantly annoyed by the little tyrants whenever he crosses their nesting preserves, but he is too indifferent or too much bored by such attacks to do more than deflect his course. The truth is that the eagle may be bold or timid, as suits not so much the occasion as its own bodily state, and on this score it is upon the same footing as other birds and the higher animals generally; for it is only the alert, the intelligent or the adaptable that can survive in the presence of man. Behavior with them all is a matter of habituation and adaptability, and their expression of fear is subject to constant and often great variability. Bold Enough When Necessary. The trouble with those writers who have complained of the timidity of our national bird lies in attributing to the species, which of course must include every individual of the kind in question, what they have observed in but few individuals, or perhaps in only one and under one set of conditions. They forget that behavior in a given case may vary not alone with that individual's inheritance and age, but, most of all, if it be intelligent, with habit in the sense of profiting by experience. All eagles, like many of the hawks, when wounded or hard pressed, will fight like demons; and we might expect them to fight to protect their young; but while some will do this, others will not. It all depends upon the acquired or momentary balance between caution and fear, as dictated by experience, or upon the resultant of their inherited and acquired powers. The eagle offers a large target, whether upon its eyrie or in the air, and in settled communities, where its wits must be constantly pitted against those of man, circumspection becomes the rule of life and caution the price of liberty. Trusting its young to the inaccessibility of their nest, it usually keeps at a safe distance whenever this is approached, for it has learned its lessons from bitter experience; but should the eagle's eagle be placed low or in more remote and wilder regions, the marmaner will do well to watch his steps or he may meet with the surprise of his life; for, like the she bear, the eagle can and often will defend its young, and in attack it is a swift and formidable adversary. That the American eagle will sometimes put up a stiff fight in the defense of its nest, or when hard pressed on the ground, we have ample evidence. Capt. B. F. Goss thus wrote to Captain Bendice of his experience at a nest built on a small island in the vicinity of Corpus Christi, Texas: "Both parent birds attacked us with great fury, screaming and striking at us with their talons. While examining the nest, they came within a few feet of me and I was glad to retire." When Caught in a Trap. The late Hon. John G. White, of Cleveland, has given the following account of what happened on two occasions at Jackson Hole when an eagle was caught in a trap set for bear: "We would have released him," wrote the judge, "but the trap had scraped his leg and he would not allow us near. When we came up to the stockade he was lying down. As soon as he saw us he reared himself up on his sound leg, favoring the trapped one as much as he could, and, with head drawn back and feathers Asiatic Hunter With Eagle. erected, defied us and struck at us fiercely when we attempted to approach. As there was no way to release him, we had to kill him." Like the giant of old, when beaten to the earth, he promptly arose with fighting powers renewed, for "in an instant he was on his feet again, as indomitable as ever, and this continued after every blow, until at length he was killed. To the end he was fiercely defiant. . . . Such a picture as he made of indomitable courage, persistent to the last, I never saw." Most would agree with the judge, that it would be hard to find a better emblem for a free and courageous nation than this indomitable bird. The eagle is the greatest home-keeper of his class. His eyrie is his castle, which, as we have seen, he will at times defend against all comers. In it his eaglets spend the first ten weeks of their life—from mid-April until early July, upon the southern shore of Lake Erie—and it is the occasional rendezvous, lookout point, and dining table for the elder pair for the remainder of the year. Habits of Our Eagle. With us the eagle is nonmigratory, or a very irregular migrant, never leaving his home neighborhood for long and only when his food supplies run out. In northern Ohio he nests high, choosing the crotch of a commanding tree not far from the lake which supplies him with fish and to which he makes constant sallies, varied with occasional forays into the adjoining fields. The first year's nest is framed with sticks, usually from 2 to 6 feet long and from 1 to 2 inches thick, and well bedded with straw, cornstalks, and stubble, the whole measuring about 5 feet each way. In it are laid two or, more rarely, three dull white eggs, resembling somewhat those of the domestic goose, and, it is believed, at intervals of several days, beginning in this latitude in mid or late March. In from four to five weeks the young are hatched in white down, which contrasts sharply with their dark eyes and their almost black, hooked bills. This natal covering is shortly replaced with a thick coat of close gray down, to be in turn gradually combed off, until they have acquired their full juvenial dress of dark-brown feathers by the end of May or the beginning of June. Early in the latter month the eaglets are becoming sleeker every day through their incessant attentions to their toilet, and with their brown dappled dress and clean yellow legs make a fine appearance. Already they are nearly as large as their parents and have a wing-spread of more than 6 feet; yet from two to three weeks of voracious feeding and ardent exercise are still required before they will have gained sufficient courage and the proper co-ordination of muscles and nerves to leave the eyrie under their own power. After freedom has been attained, a few more weeks are spent in company with their parents, who still continue to bring them food, and with them they make frequent visits to their old home; but the day eventually arrives when parental guidance and protection cease and the young go forth to seek, far from their native heath, their substance and their fortune, and in due course to found a home of their own.

The voters of the 18th ward are responding with a sentiment that is overwhelmingly in favor of Charles S. Smith's candidacy. An old resident of this city with exceptional experience in city affairs for many years, he is the ideal candidate for the City Council from the 18th ward in the coming election to replace Councilman Glayborne George, who is the current justice. Because of Mr. Smith's thoro training in municipal government and PETER J. BURKE Charles S.

He was induced to enter the councilmanic race by the urgent request of many friends and representatives of the city that he should give his constituents further benefit of his long experience in municipal affairs, especially during this economic crisis. He will run on his record, established over many years of unblemished public service, and a reputation which stands as an open book, extending from the date of THE RACE WRECKED!

C.—Our race has been wrecked by an exploiting, unknowing and incompetent leadership of old, and the new leadership, endeavoring to salvage the race, is equally as bad if not worse than the old. The fact is, such racial organizations as we have, have been eating cowards and have sapped the vitality out of the race. All kinds of theories, heresies and wildcat schemes have been proposed by theoretical and impractical sapheads for the salvation of the race. These so-called leaders have attempted to build up the race from the top to the bottom, but they have signally failed. The deplorable condition of the race, as a race, affer, about 67 years of freedom, speaks for itself, and should have been fore- These leaders with a very few exceptions, if any, have misdirected the race all along the line of march. The Colored race has never been more than a pigmy and a sucker on the horizon of an economic and co-operative world. The race's greatest achievements have been made individually and not collectively. A braying, bellowing leadership cannot save the race; an envious, jealous and selfish leadership cannot save the race, as it is more detrimental than it is. Igor. Hatters contemptible interface hatters cannot save the race. Religious and fraternal organizations have been maintained by what the individuals had left from their earnings paid to them by white employers and not Colored. More business is what the race needs instead of sandbanks with human steam shovels as officers. The establishment of banks should follow business, so that business may be conducted through the banks, if they are not sand. Without adequate business there is no need for Colored banks, unless Colored deposits desire to put their banks for the officers to loan to white bankers and white business concerns which they in turn loan to white people; money that should be loaned to our people at a reasonable rate of interest and a longer time of credit. If the race doesn't change to another course it will never be able to save itself from the effects of the shortcomings of its destructive leadership, both the old and the new. Examine the old and the new, will leadership the past and the present leadership is not as much as tinkling cymbals and sounding brass. Why don't these self-constituted leaders blame the over expensive religious and fraternal organizations more largely than anything else, for the destitute condition of race members and their families; a condition which has prevailed since the nation abolished slavery, stopped the wielding of the blacksnake whip, the cat-o'nine tails and the rawhide on their naked and bleeding skulls and seve- rious shackles and to bad chain from their sore and swollen limbs?
