HEAR! HEAR!!
The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING
Atty. Frank C. Lyons, Woodland Market Bldg., has written President Roosevelt a strong letter urging him to include lynching and mob-violence in his program of law enforcement and suggests that others do likewise. An excellent suggestion.
"Amos 'n Andy's" reference to a "colored tourists' camp," in a recent broadcast, surely must have been a "slip," because that is the first offense of the kind we have ever heard of in their case. Their many broadcasts have been exceptionally free of all cause of compulsion upon the part of any group or class.
John E. Ballard was elected Republican leader in Ward 18, Tuesday evening. Atty. Ballard was the compromise candidate. A terrific battle had waged for about ten days. All is serene now as far as the ward leadership is concerned.
Atty. Geo. C. Lacy, Afro-Democratic leader in Ward 17, resigned his post, last week Monday, and to the support of Congressman Martin L. Sweeney, bitter opponent of Mayor Miller, a candidate for re-election. Lacy must have lost his city job.
one of our local contemporaries published a picture of Victoria Price (white), last week, and labied it Ruby Bates. The last-named spoke at Woodland Center, Wednesday evening, with Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of Anne A. Wright, a well-known poet of the boy-victims. Miss Bates was the star "Scottboro" witness, against the boy-victims, who finally starred as a witness for them.
Dr. Edward A. Bailey, one of the four candidates for the council in the 18th Ward, three of them Republicans, frankly says that he and his supporters, like candidate Charles S. Smith and many of his supporters, are not at all satisfied with Councilman Hubbard candidacy and therefore are not inclined to support the councilman's candidacy for a municipal judgeship.
Comment Unnecessary!
Tuscaloosa, Ala.—A "Negro" physician of Tuscaloosa was called from Vance, Ala., 22 miles southeast of here, early Monday night, to "attend a Negro man who was wounded." Doctor Calls Sheriff. The physician called Sheriff Shamblin, a "Negro" automobile to the home of a friend of Elmore Clark where he was found in an outhouse.
SAN CARLO OPERA
Ina Bourskaya, Leon Rothler and Other Famous Artists, Formerly With the Metropolitan and Chicago Grand Opera Companies, at Public Hall, Next Month.
Cleveland will have its first season of fall grand opera in the public auditorium from Sept. 11 thru Sept. 17 when the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, under the direction of Fortune Gallo, is presented in nine performances by the Garden Club of Cleveland.
Mr. Charles A. Otis and Mrs. John Shepherd are joint chairmen for the season of grand opera; Mrs. Wusor T. White is president of the Garden
INA BOUESKAYA
Club of Cleveland and Mrs. Wm. G. Mather is head of the Garden Center, for the benefit of which the season is to be given.
The operas, with the same mighty choruses, ballet, orchestra and stars which have made the San Carlo famous from coast to coast as America's greatest traveling opera troupe, will be presented for the first time at "new deal" prices—twenty-five cents to one dollar. There will be thousands of seats, too, at the intermediate price. While the definite response will await the return of Gallo from New York, where he is augmenting his company by the addition of many artists formerly with the Metropolitan and Chicago operas, and such stars as Ina Bourskaya, Thalia Sabaniev, Dreda Aves, Leon Rothier and Hizi Hoyke, it is planned to include several of the following in the nine performances: Carmen, Faust, Hansel and Gretel, Butterfly, Rigoletto, Alda, La Boheme, Romeo and Juliet, La Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci, Lucia di Lammorro and Lohengrin.
Matinees will be given on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and there will be a performance on Sunday evening. Taking a leaf from the success of outdoor opera, this summer, at Wildwood, the corridors of the public hall will be converted into a restaurant, with tables and gay table cloths and sandwiches and beer will be served.

ALL BECAUSE OF AN EFFORT TO DRAW A "COLOR-LINE" AT THE MASSILLON RESERVOIR.
A Civil Rights Echo of the Very Harmful Ohio Supreme Court Decision in the Doris Weaver Case— Gillespie vs. Coxey.
Mr. Davis (ex-Mayor and ex-Gov.), to be sure, is well known and hardly needs more than a word of re-introduction to Cleveland political life. He is the Republican leader in fact, for there was no friction to the revolution which placed him and his people in complete charge of the party organization. It was a careful and a bloodless and a discreet revolution, a typically Republican revolution, but entire, nevertheless, even if it did not require martial law to straighten it out. Mr. Davis is in man, who has been persistently and consistently aligned by the newspapers ever since he entered public life. It seems to know the reason for this. It seems to be a feud which started so long ago that everybody has forgotten its cause. Nobody could be more popular personally with newsmanern than Harry L. Davis. But
JAVIS. DUE BREAKER 1970.
Several weeks ago, The Gazette called attention to the fact that "Gen." Coxey, mayor of Massillon, was contemplating drawing a "colorline" on our bathers in the reservoir of that city, bashing his action on that Supreme court, in the Dorsis Water court, which ought to be Dorsis wiped out in the U. S. Supreme Court just as soon as possible. The following is an echo of the decision and shows conclusively how very important is the action we suggest: Massillon, O., Aug. 10, '33. Mr. Wawer White, Sec. N. A. C. P., New York City.
My dear Mr. White: —Enclosed you will find a clipping from The Independent regarding the correspondence between Mr. Gillespie and the attorney general. This article was printed, Monday evening, before the primaries and I feel it helped very much to defeat the city solicitor, who was the same he came to the fourth ward where most of the colored voters live.
I heard indirectly that he was terribly hurt; that he cried and said it was the swimming pool that did it, when he had nothing to do with it. His experience has been an expensive one. I hope he has learned a lesson. He was a reminder to years the colored ones helped for the unjust discriminations they have been subject to thru the years by folk like him.
This was the first time the colored people were united in their vote, and it came about thru the untiring efforts of Dr. Ballinger, a young colored man, who is president of their club and Mr. Simmons the secretary.
The white people can't realize yet how it all happened. I'm sure it will be the means of the Negro getting more recognition. Of course you read where Mr. Coxey was badly defeated (for re-election as mayor).
We want to thank you again for your interest and help. I am.
From The Evening Independent
Massillon, Ohio, Monday, Aug. 7
SAYS COXEY DID NOT GET
OPINION.
The "General" Denies the Charge of Colored Representative.
Chester K. Gillespie, Cleveland colored representative to the Ohio General Assembly, in a letter to The Independent today, declared that he has investigated reports of Mayor Jacob S. Coxey that he obtained an opinion from the attorney-general's office on the racial swimming problem and learned that the mayor's statements, are not true. The opinion referred to was that printed in The Independent, June 29, when Judge Meck was fair to our people, proving himself free from racial prejudices. His helpfulness to our people in garnishment actions is especially appreciated. He saved the bread and butter of many poor people by calling public attention to the people coming out of the garnishment law which has since been amended to relieve the distress of those in want. Men who have proved themselves worthy and helpful to those in need should be re-elected. Our lawyers strongly urge the reelection of Judge David C. Meck, on his record.

Coxey said that he was informed by a representative of the attorney general's office that colored bathers could be barred from the west bank of the reservoir providing equal swimming advantages were given them elsewhere. With this opinion, Coxey proceeded to have a floating platform built for colored bathers on the east bank of the reservoir. Gillian received from Attorney General John W. Bricker in which the latter said, "Have seen nobody from Massillon, and have not discussed the question

involved in the newspaper article with anyone and this office is not authorized by law to give opinions to any municipal officials."
Talked With an Assistant.
Coxey when informed of Bricker's letter to the attorney, he did not talk with Bricker but conferred with Attorney Toppin, a representative of the attorney general's office. He said that he had followed the usual procedure and obtained a conference with Toppin through the state bureau of inspection and that it was during a conference on a highway problem that he brot up the racial swimming question. The general did not have the colored representative, threatening court action if the plan to segregate the white from the colored bathers was carried out and said that he replied that he was acting for the park commission carrying out an interpretation of the law that he had received in Columbus and that he welcomed any suit to test the legality of the opinion in order to obstruct a dispute. City Solicitor Graybill verified Coxey's statement declaring that he was present when the "general" conferred with Toppin.
the papers have always fought him with great bitterness and also with a remarkable lack of success, for he has defied them and fought back with great zeal and determination.—Cleveland Weekly.

There is no use listening to Democrats, this fall. That was done by entirely too many Republicans, last year, and in the fall of 1931—to our everlasting sorrow. Here in Cleveland, every Republican ought to recognize the FACT that we must elect a Republican mayor, this fall, and that the Hon. Harry L. Davis is the man.
THAT DOUBLE LYNCHING.
No one at all familiar with conditions existing in Alabama, ever since the last "Scottsboro" trial, was at all surprised to learn of the double lynching in that state, Sunday. The only surprise was the fact that one of the three Negroes being removed from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham for safe-keeping pending trial on charges (only) of slaying a white girl, age 21," escaped temporarily. With bullet wounds in hip, leg and shoulder, he was finally apprehended and lodged in the Tuscaloosa jail which is being guarded by a local company of the state militia on order of the Governor. Dan Pippin, Jr., age 18, and A. T. Harden, age 16, with Elmore Clark, age 28, the wounded prisoner, were under indictment charged (only) with the slaying of Vaudie Maddox (white) in rural Tuscaloosa County, several weeks ago. Pippin and Harden were lynch-murdered shortly before noon, Sunday, the two bodies having approximately 25 pistol wounds. Two cars of lynch-murders are said to have overpowered the sheriff and his deputies, "seizing the prisoners just inside the county line." As expected, the I. L. D. court-defense of the Scottsboro boy-victims and an effort to assist in the Pippin trial, are given as the cause for the dual lynching. Of course, this misleads no one familiar, as we have said, with conditions in Alabama. An excellent indication, as to just how contemptible prejudice and malicious southern whites can be, is the "influence" used to have Pippin and his parents "testify they did not wish the I. L. D. attorneyys, Erving Schwab and Allan Taub of New York City and Frank Erving of Birmingham to intercede in the case." Thereupon, the three attorneys were given a national guard escort out of the city. Great is Alabama and the South! Neither could hardly have less respect for the law, both state and national! Alabama's attorney general, Thos. E. Knight, Jr., who showed the world what he was in the Heywood Patterson trial at Decatur, Ala., some months ago, is "investigating" the affair. Lord, have mercy!
Our laborers in many sections of the South are being tricked out of the benefits of the National Recovery Act. The most widespread practice is the dismissal of our people and the hiring of whites in their places "because the minimum wage is too much for 'Negroes'". In some sections of North Carolina where our people furnish nearly three-fourths of the workers in the tobacco industries, the minimum wage is being withheld from them and in other sections of the South, particularly in Georgia, our workers who would have received a specified NRA minimum of thirty cents an hour were dismissed and in many instances re-employed as farm laborers at thirty-five and seventy-five cents a day. In Birmingham, Ala., 2,000 retail grocers have a code which requires a minimum wage of "$6 a week for 'Negro' porters and delivery boys." In Arkansas, the cracker farmers send their sons to the Civilian Conservation camp where they receive $30 a month and hire our workers to do their farm-work at ten and fifteen dollars a month. At Washington, D. C., the nation's capital, industrial leaders (white) are submitting codes for approval which either show plainly a lower wage for "Negroes" or hide it under North and South wage scales. When "the South
is in the saddle" at the nation's capital it is never at all backward in letting not only this country but the entire world know it. And our people suffer most, in every way, as a result of it. Even the "economic depression" makes no difference, unless it is to encourage the South to make conditions even worse.
OUR FIFTY-FIRST YEAR.
As stated in our last issue, with this, our issue of Aug. 19, '33, The Gazette enters upon its fifty-first year of continuous publication, every week on time. This paper made its first appearance in August, 1883, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important to the race, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor, that lead to greater and better progress, is a matter of general knowledge thrust out the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for. ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thrush all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past fifty years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, especially at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation.

A CRACKER IN THE NORTH.
Bryn Mawr, Pa., known throut the length and breadth of this country as a center of education, has a "cracker" (Norman J. Greene, Jr.) president of the school board of a township near there who has had to resign as a result of his efforts to establish a separate school. In June, 1932, he announced that the new $250,000 township school would be opened in September to whites only and that our people there would have to use the old school. He wanted "separate schools like they have down home." Our people of Tredyffrin township, who have had trouble because of his stand, during the last half of 1932 and most of this year, thus far, ought to tell him to go back where he came from, and help him to do so. During the entire school-year of 1932-33, they kept more than two hundred children away from the "jim-crow" school the southern cracker tried to establish. Its teachers of color reported for duty daily and drew salary checks but never had any children to teach. The legal fight, as a result, is still pending in the courts with every indication that the matter will be settled properly and satisfactory to the Afro-American residents of Tredyffrin township, Pa.

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 for years opposed mob-violence or anti-lynching laws, and are copies of our Ohio law. Several other laws 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 correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" by the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.)
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whip, missiles or in any other manner, may receive a court order provided, a sum to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6231. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share.

Chicago, June 00—Radio broadcasting from the stratosphere will be attempted for the first time in July when the balloon that carries Lieutenant-Commander T. G. W. Settle and one of the Piccard twins starts its ascension from Soldier Field on the grounds of A Century of Progress—the Chicago World's Fair.
The problem of installing the radio broadcasting apparatus in the gondola was not easy. According to C. B. Hanson, of the National Broadcasting Company, there was a multitude of details to be worked out so as to make the effort possible.
Experts from broadcasting companies' laboratories worked day and night to have the equipment ready for the flight. Mr. Hanson, who manages the company's technical operations and engineering, pointed out why the job was a tough one.
"Putting the sending equipment in the gondola for the purpose of talking back to the world would appear easy," he said, "but when even the food that is carried is governed by the weight factor, the limitations imposed called for infinite ingenuity.
Will Note Cosmic Rays.
"Dear in mind, that to reach higher altitudes than man has ever attained, the stratosphere balloon must have a high gas capacity and a light load to carry. Many other things besides radio must be carried. It is planned to carry two persons, a pilot and an observer, and also a number of scientific instruments.
"Due to the rarity of air at altitudes above ten miles, the gondola must be air-tight and capable of retaining atmospheric pressure. Food and water as well as oxygen tanks must be carried. A maximum of 100 pounds is all that can be permitted for the radio equipment."
These limitations forced the use of the high frequencies of the short wave band. In this case a frequency of 17,300 kilocycles has been selected to carry the volces from the gondola. This will permit the maximum transmission with the minimum of weight. In

The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or owner of an amm, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, 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 no 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.

ranglements have been made to clear the networks for spot broadcasting from the balloon during the flight. The three most important periods during the flight will be the take-off, the point of maximum altitude, and the return to the earth. The exact time of these events is problematical, which will keep the engineering staff constantly under tension. Mr. Hanson also discussed the problem of the selection of suitable receiving locations, so that one or more short wave pick-up points will always be within range of the balloon's minute transmitter during the flight. The balloon may drift as far as three hundred miles or more. Pick-up points must

FALL COATS TO BE SLIM, FULL LENGTH
Standing Collars of Various Designs a Feature.
Though there are still many flaring swagger coats, ranking in length from hipbone level chez Maggy Rouff to seven-eighth chez Bruyere and Malboucher, the materials in which they are developed indicate that they are intended either for late summer or sports wear (except for the loose evening coats), the most authentic fall coat line being the straight, slender, full-length coat with a separate belt, or having the waistline slightly indicated in some manner.
Coats may have straight standing collars, ripply standing collars like hearts split in two, the shoulder line may be slightly prolonged into a collar effect as chez Schiaparelli, or they may be completely collarless, a collar or scarf on the dress seeming to belong to them till they are removed. Separate Pierrot collars and ruffs are ubiquitous and frilled jabot collars of the coat fabric often smartly replace fur.
It looks as though daytime capes would diminish as the fall style story gets under way, though there will be the high-necked sloping cape trimming that accompany the champagne bottle outline.
LAVISH WITH VELVET
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Designers are in a mood to use velvet lavishly this fall. This is especially so in regard to smart accessories. From Paris comes the most ravishing little sets which include cunning capetels which tie with huge bows with matching berets or toques. These are taking the place of the hat and scarf ensembles of bright prints which were so popular during the summer. For a gay wrap, red velvet is making a "hit" with the younger folks. Here you see pictured a very recent model by Jean Paton. It poses over a print satin dress in shaded effect from white to red. Note that it is cut in the new tight effect. It is quite the thing to wear a little velvet hat now with your midseason costume. The model in the picture is draped and peaked at the crown in latest approved fashion. It is made of blue velvet and it is trimmed with two light blue metal and enamel flowers which repeat the color of the silk corduroy velvet suit with which it is worn.

Coral Reef Jewelry Is
Latest of Fashion Fads
There is a new jewelry fad on. It is the revival of coral reef jewelry. The vogue for this type of adornment tunes in beautifully with the trend of the present costume modes, in that one of the most high-lighted colors is red as it appears in all sorts of fabrics, especially in the smartest prints. For instance a red and white shear print dinner frock takes on added charm with one of the new twisted necklaces formed of strands of tiny seed pearls intertwined with threaded sprays of genuine coral reef. Matching bracelets also are available. These genuine branch-coral items of jewelry are copied from French imports and they impart class and charm to any costume with which they are worn. The necklaces are to be had either in long lel fashion or in a choker style.
Crazier Hats
The new hats will be worn at more impossible angles than ever. Flat, stitched square crowns are in the ascendancy, and they are trimmed with everything vertically placed.
SMART FALL SUITS BROAD-SHOULDERED
Heralded as "Last Word" in Tailored Clothes.
New broad-shouldered, high-necked suits have made their debut in prominent dressmakers' salons as the "last word" in tailored clothes for late summer and early fall wear. Rich wools are used as the outstanding fabric, although velvetelene makes a few of the more tailored models. Shades are generally sober, with black, blue, brown and gray in the lead, but scarfs and blouses add a flash of color as effective as a brilliant sunset on a winter landscape. The suits are designed with slender skirts 8 to 11 inches from the ground and plain hip-length three-quarter-length jackets which hang almost straight. Padded shoulders, epaulettes and yokes are used to give exaggerated width to the shoulders and slenderize the rest of the silhouette.
SHOULDER BREADTH By CHERIE NICHOLAS
THE FASHION WEEKLY
In order to meet the challenge for shoulder breadth which the new silhouette calls for, designers are employing all sorts of materials which are crisp and "starchy" in appearance. The two French fashions here shown and which were worn at the races are typical of the trend. The belted jacket is a smart model, its fitted trimming and double-caped sleeves being outstanding style details. The velvet-crowned white hat is especially noteworthy. The other gown is a study in organdie, since it combines dainty crossbar organdie with plain, Exaggerated shoulder width bespaces ultra chic for this costume. Also the fact that the broad brimmed linen hat is trimmed in the same organdie which fashions the dress is significant.
FLASHES FROM PARIS
Velvet more than ever is in prospect.
The new silhouette calls for wide sailor collars which give shoulder breadth.
A close alliance between millinery and handbag styling is noted in advance showings.
Fluttering accessories such as feather boas and organle ruches are much in evidence.
Evening Clothes Cling
With a pooh-pooh and a shrug of one softly draped shoulder at the rumored masculine mode, clothes for evening have gone more feminine than ever. Long flowing lines, dramatic capes and seductive new stuffs conspire to make Milady as alluringly gracious as ever she was in the day of chaise longues and the vapors. Many of the models seen at the style openings revealed a glimpse of the ankle in front, swooping down into a train at the rear. In most of these cases the waistline follows this down-at-the-back movement with gratefully slimming results. There is a black Mainbocher dress made of, heavy flat crepe with a fan-pleated section flaring out at the back of the skirt. A cape of the pleating cut in long dripping points can be flung about the shoulders any which way.
All Duty Coats
Those clever big-sleeved pique or linen coats and jackets, that are so smart with black or brown outfits, are everywhere, every hour, and are being worn with any outfit in the wardrobe.
Voile Swagger Suits
Quite a new paradox in fashion is the voile swagger costume. Old-fashioned voile made into the newest swaggering of costumes. Cool, washable, and refreshing to look at, with its organdy trimming.

ANGKOR-AMystery
A Cambodian Temple Dancer.
Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Servi-
FAR up in the jungles of French Indo-China, some 300 miles from the doorstep of the world as measured in distance, a thousand years in the past as measured in time, and aeons back in the unknown as measured in history, is Angkor, one of the most puzzling works ever contrived by the hand of man.
Temple and town and network of dim and forgotten shrines, it represents a culture that must have been far in advance of anything coeval with it and a power that must have been virtually irresistible even in Asia, where men at arms were plentiful and warfare was a favored business.
But the culture died and the men who had built it disappeared, and for hundreds of years the forests of banyan and bamboo hid from the eyes and memory of the world what had been a metropolis of a million inhabitants.
Two generations ago a French naturalist broke through the wall of jungle in a search for specimens of tropical life and came upon a spectacle such as the slaves of the lamp might have contrived for Aladdin. Before him, in the quivering silence, rose the five towers of a vast step pyramid, a stone tapestry representative of an art and architecture like nothing else within the green room. A mooted wall surrounded it and a cloistered gate opened upon a causeway that led to its rocketing staircases, and, for all that jungle growths were close about its lower stage and odd clumps of verdure grew from its arched roofs, it seemed that life had been in its silhouettes gallery only a moment ago. The temple was virtually intact.
Still an Unsolved Puzzle.
It is now more than seventy years since the stunned eyes of Mouhot, the naturalist, looked upon the magnificent heights of Angkor—more than seventy years since the greatest detective story in the history of the world was laid out with its million stony claws to puzzle the savants. Today, with its principal remains classified and ticketed, its inscriptions translated, and its monuments lifted out of the jungle, Angkor is still the vast and silent mystery that it was in the beginning.
But the monuments are there and no mere shutting of the eyes will dispose of them: Angkor Thom, a walled city within whose metropolian area at one time must have lived more people than were to be found in the Rome of Augustus or the Carthage of Hannibal; and Angkor Vat, supreme architectural effort of this strange culture, not only the most grandose temple of the group, but one of the most stupendous undertakings begun by man since the cornerstone was laid for the Tower of Babel.
About Angkor Thom are scattering remains of earlier edifices, and far in the jungle are capital cities built and abandoned with that prodigality which seems always to have been characteristic of oriental monarchs. Traces of this lost civilization have been found wherever a lean tributary of the Mekong river branches out toward the north.
Once a Splendid Metropolis.
Here at Angkor was the finest metropolis in Asia—a town whose swagging splendor is permanently embossed in temple wall and tower and terrace. It was the perfect expression of a race of conquerors and must have been as wealthy as Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar. And yet, for some cause which an archeologist can only guess, the populace walked out of it and never came back. The jungle moved in and engulfed it for five centuries.
There begins and there ends the mystery of Angkor.
Little enough is known about the origins of the race that evolved the culture which centered in Angkor Thom. The people were called the Khmers and were either of Hindu extraction or the dilargent pupils of Hindu teachers. That about sums up the available information concerning them.
There is mention in Chinese records of a kingdom under Hindu direction if not domination, in Indo-China as early as the year 228 of our era, and
there is evidence that the Khmers were still flourishing in the Thirteenth and possibly in the early Fourteenth centuries; but, strangely enough, their civilization, wonderful as it was, made little impress on the neighboring nations.
It seems impossible that a culture such as that which built the pyramid of Angkor Vat could have perished without a word of its demise reaching the civilizations with which it must have been in constant touch. But such appears to have been the case.
Two generations ago the modern world had never heard of Angkor. A dense forest spread across Indo-China. French trade was confined to the coast, and there was no commercial traffic on the Mekong river north of Pompenhen for the reason that Cambodia's resources, the same resources that had given this region a possible identity as the Golden Chersonese of legend, were as deeply carpeted with useless verdure as the hidden cities of the north.
Pnopenph, the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia (western portion of the Indo-Chinese peninsula), was a village of nipa thatch and bamboo, a comical opera metropolis, where a despot ruled in fear of his life over a semi-savage, if not completely savage, people.
Early Stories Not Believed.
Saigon, the present capital of French enterprise in the East, was just rising from the marshes south of Annam. What might lie hidden in the masses of foliage to the north no one knew. The world had heard, but had forgotten, the tales of Portuguese missionaries of the Seventeenth century, that marvelous cities with leaping towers stood dead among the trees of the Toneil Sap. Wherever there is unexplored territory one is certain to hear of such cities, and the world had grown too wise and too skeptical to pay attention to such nonsense.
True, there had been a Chinese traveler, Tcheon-Ta-Quan by name, who had written what purported to be a chronicle of his service as ambassador to some kingdom in the Mekong valley. It was conceded that the writer might actually have had some such service, but it was obvious that in his description of the marvels he had found in his dubious kingdom he was merely a pleasant liar.
What the Ruins Are Like.
The name Angkor has been somewhat loosely applied to the ruins. There are two principal groups: Angkor Vat, the temple and Angkor Thom, the town. The word Angkor is believed to be a native corruption of the Sanskrit Nagara, meaning capital. Thom is a local word, meaning great or grand. Vat is an appellation designating a temple and is generally associated with Buddhism.
Angkor Vat was the last important work of the Khmers and remains today the finest expression of their peculiar art. Built as a shrine to Hindu gods and apparently devoted to Vishnu, Siva, and Buddha in turn, it has departed a long distance from the parent architecture of the Hindus. It is a step pyramid which rises through three cloistered stages to a group of five mitterilike towers, of which the one in the center is dominant.
The temple area is about a quarter of a mile square and is surrounded by a moat and a high wall. A causeway crosses the moat and strikes through a gate pierced in the middle of the western wall, whence it leads to the portico of the first stage. The lower galleries measure nearly 250 feet on a side. The facade is five times as wide as that of Notre Dame of Paris. About two-thirds of a mile to the north of the temple one comes to the wall of Angkor Thom, where the seven-headed Naga, legendary deity of the Khmers, is upheld in the arms of stone giants to form a balustrade for the entering causeway. Access to the old capital is through a tower, from each of the faces of which a head of Siva the Destroyer leers down upon the world.
It is one of the most pretentious capitals of antiquity. Its walls, most of which are intact today, measure nearly two miles on a side, and it contained a temple, the Bayon, which was almost as large as Angkor Vat.
