HEAR! HEAR!!
WILLIAM
The ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Mrs. Hazel M. Walker, who as a Republican has been more or less of an "in and outer" in the last two or three years, has announced her intention to support Congressman Martin L. Sweeney for the Democratic nomination for mayor. This jump into the Democratic party is mirrored Mrs. Walker's biggest and most harmful political move and mistake. Davis will be the next mayor!
Current rumor has it that J. E. Hubbard, one of the five candidates for the Council in the 18th ward, in event of his election, promises to settle the city's fight with the East Ohio Gas Co. and have the telephone rates lowered. Some job the gentleman has mapped out for himself, isn't it—if the rumor is true? The city of Cleveland has been trying to do these things for many, many years now. Moreover, the prospect is not at all bright for any favorable accomplishment in either case.
Councilman Larry Payne is distributing a campaign circular that is a "wow." In it he claims to have done about all the City Council's welfare committee, of which he is chairman, has done for poor relief, and about all that was done by everybody in the way of securing jobs in the city, had to recount the Republican city rule. The claims, almost in toto, are really ridiculous. He does not, however, explain his most reprehensible action that has caused him to be well-known through the city as a "Blossom Triplet." This same is true of the other two members of the councilmanic trio - Clayborne George and Roy Bundy. Dr. E. J. Gregg, who is op-ed editor of the campaign, ought to win "hands down" in November and will, too, if our people in ward 11 will do their clear duty to themselves.
Walter R. McCornack, local architect, head of "a slum clearance" reshousing project known as Cleveland Homes, Inc., has announced that the land in the area bounded by Cedar and Central Aves, 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 they desire. This will practically be confiscation of privately owned property which the people who own land in the so-called slum areas should begin to pay attention to at once. McCornack's company, recently "chartered for slum clearance in the city," intends to bring about a change in the area of district (Ward 10) improved with modern housing for lower (poorer) income groups of people. It freely and publically admits that the lowest (worst) income groups can only be 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. The fatal mistake of the company is its figuring on too low a rental basis the value of the land it wishes to practically confiscate, in Ward 11 and the district for its "modern housing" project, "with parks," etc.
Protest against carelessness of police in shooting thru the premises, 8006 Amos Ave., early Tuesday morning, was made, last week, by Councilman Perry B. Jackson to Chief of Police Matowitz.
EX. GOV. HARRY L. DAVIS.
Local Republican Leader and Cleveland's Next Mayor.
MASCHKE ACCLAIMED
Given a Splendid Reception—Makes An Interesting Address—Reminiscence—Bundy's Bad "Break."
From the manner in which Maurice Maschke was introduced, Sunday afternoon, at St. James' Forum and particularly from statements he himself made, the inference was correctly drawn that the forum was being apprised of a continued active interest on his part in assisting in the Republican party leadership in the city. Councilman Roy Bundy in his introduction of Mr. Maschke, said:
"It is true that he (Maschke) has cast off the mantle of authority. But he still h... regarded everywhere in the state as the best politician order in the state. Indectors are born, not made, and until we raise a real leader Mr. Maschke still will be the leader."
Maschke, in the course of his reminiscences, in which he described his rise to leadership in Cuyahoga County, stressed the point that he was regarded as the leader of Republican in the county for years before he assumed chairmanship of the Republican county executive committee.
No Subtleties Required.
No Substances Required.
Mr. Maskeh resigned as chairman and Exec. President for the Republican candidate for mayor, was named chairman, Mr. Maskeh said there were no subtitles in what he had said. His whole speech was concerned primarily with promulgating the thought that hidden activities and machinations do not make a party leader. Leadership came to him, he said, as a logical sequence of events.
"There were no devious methods, tricks, artifices," he told the forum. "It came, I might almost say, as a result of getting the 'breaks.' It came by reason of friendships."
In describing his career, he came to 1969 and said that at that time Tom Johnson had been mayor about twelve years since a Republican mayor had been in City Hall. The Republicans were in control at the court house.
Calls Johnson Great Mayor.
"Tom L. Johnson, I want to say right here," he continued, "was one of the greatest mayors any American city ever had. We decided to run Herman C. Baehr against him and Baehr won, and that was the first year we were able to break in on Tom L. Johnson. And in that fight an organization was built up that has lasted, with some changes in personnel of course, to the present day."
In question period that concluded the session, a young man reminded Mr. Maschke that he had referred to Tom L. Johnson as one of the greatest mayors any American city had ever had, and in the same breath had told how Johnson was ousted by the Republican organization. He wanted to know why, if Maschke was interested in good government, he had led the machine that ousted Johnson.
Mentions "Hostile Press"
Maschke says a turn across the platform and replied: "That's politics, my boy." He pointed out that when a man was in public life, all his acts were discussed by the public. Acts that might pass unnoticed when a man was in private business were "given currency by a hostile press," he said.
"The reputation of those who have had charge of your political fortunes will not suffer by comparison with those who have had charge of your money," it's easy to go along with when you resist public sentiment, but when you resist public sentiment, it's like resisting Niagara. Give me public sentiment and you have your organizations—public sentiment — in three-fourths—nine-tenths—of a political battle," he concluded.

It now develops that Cleveland Homes, Inc., which is to enlarge its directory, will become the parent corporation for the local housing projects which the government has promised $12,000,000 providing local sponsors of housing raise $2,000,000. The officers of Cleveland Homes, Inc., are Benedict Crowell, president; Walter R. McCornack, vice president; Harold T. Clark, secretary; Charlotte Rumbold, executive secretary; Lawrence H. Norton, treasurer; and Newton D. Baker, Morris A. Black, George A. Bellamy of Hiram House, Leyton E. Carter of the Cleveland Foundation and Howard Scott, directors.
Henry Wright, a consultant to Robert D. Kohn, federal housing commissioner, Washington, D.C., who was in the city, the first of the week, in answer to the leading question, where is the housing for the 11th ward, the grouping and these groups include most of our people of the two sections of the 11th Ward, and an even larger number in the 12th Ward—replied:
"The present idea is to preserve the entire frontage on E. 22d St. for future buildings to fit in with the present Charity Hospital and Juvenile Court and Detention Home and churches and schools on important frontages in other neighborhoods. Immediately east of the present improvements E. 22d St. can be projects now approved can be constructed under the limited dividend housing corporation law. Then, cast of them, when we arrange to procure the federal grant of 30 per cent might be built the housing for the lower (not the lowest) income groups for several blocks from Cedar to Woodland Ave. From there cast still other housing projects might be built. "The most difficult job is to get housing of sufficiently low cost to meet necessities of the lowest income groups."
Would Draw White Renters In.
"I do not believe it is at all necessary to assume that only the present residents will live in those areas," he said. "Of course, you have your smoke and fumes problem as have all industrial cities and much work needs to be done there to bring central districts back to economic race. A problem is where the present residents of the districts in Wards 11 and 12 would go while demolition and construction were in progress. It has been figured that low cost housing can be provided only with the aid of outright federal grants. Dr. Wm. Biddle of Western Reserve University, who has been a leader in insisting that lowest income groups be housed, says: "We shall request benemies that no appointments to the department are needed. Purely political, but that members be persons who know about the problem we face here with the lowest income people."
The Sections Affected.
Robert D. Kohn, last year's president of the American Institute of Architects and now federal housing commissioner at Washington, has insisted that housing to be built partly with federal grants shall be of the simplest, without frills, but contain all conveniences to encourage a better standard of living than now is possible in slum areas and that a single corporation be responsible to the government for all moneys advanced until all loans are paid.
The following are the sections that will be affected, the first two being in the 11th ward, and the third wholly in the 12th ward: to E. 22d and to E. 35th St., excluding Juvenile Court building and Detention Home. Here it is proposed to house 1546 families of the higher income groups in two and three-story buildings; our people will be excluded by the high rent.
Central Ave. to Scovill Ave. from E. 22d to E. 30th Sts., excluding Charity Hospital and schools. This also is proposed to be two and three stories, to house 873 families of higher income groups; our people (and others) excluded because with the poor whites in the section they will be unable to pay the rent. They help to constitute the lowest income groups.
Scovill Ave. to Woodland Ave.,

from E. 22d to E. 30th Sts., excluding churches and schools, also two and three-story buildings, to house 1246 families of the higher income groups. Our people would be excluded here also by the high rentals just as predicted by The Gazette constantly for months.
SAN CARLO OPERA
Entertaining Many Thousands of Music-Lovers, Every Evening and at Matinees—Great Success!
Cleveland's great fall festival of opera by the San Carlo Opera Co. in Public Auditorium this week-end continues to draw thousands of music-lovers from all northern Ohio for the first time. Presented under the direction of the Garden Club of Cleveland. Friday night's performance of La Boheme was an occasion long to be remembered, as it probably marks the last appearance in Cleveland of the famous basso, Leon Rothier. Saturday afternoon, Sept. 16, the opera is to be "Romeo and Juliet" with Thalia Sabanieva, also formerly with the Metropolitan, and Dimitri Onofre in the title roles, with Carlo Peroni conducts, and Eleonore McLean leads the ballet.
Saturday evening, "Il Trovatore," that great popular favorite with a wonderful cast, "Madame Butterfly" brings the season to a triumphant close Sunday night, with the charming little Japanese soprano, Hizi Koyke in the title role. Tickets are on sale at Lyon & Healy's, 1226 Huron Rd., and at Public Auditorium, 25 cents to $1.00.

Strong protests are being lodged with the Roosevelt administration at Washington, D. C., against the exclusion of our laborers on the Mississippi flood-control projects from the benefits under any minimum wage and maximum hours provision of the code of fair competition for the General Contractors division of the Construction Industry. Much the same mistreatment is being meeted out to our workers in other fields of industry throughout the South. It is so unfair and unjust and unAmerican that we cannot see how the administration at Washington can possibly permit it to continue even to please the "Solid South," the dominant factor of national Democracy. Many thousands, some say even a million, of our workers in that section of the country are being so mistreated.
MILLER. A ONE-TERM MAYOR.
The Democratic organization formally opened its campaign for the mayorality, Wednesday evening. The first words of Mayor Ray T. Miller, the principal speaker, were, "We will win." The gentleman will find that impossible! As a matter of fact, he and Congressman Martin L. Sweeney are splitting the Democratic party so one or the other is bound to be defecated at the primaries. It doesn't make any difference which one is defeated at the primaries, that one and his following will defeat the other on election day. That is just how bitter the feeling is upon the part of the Miller and Sweeney factions of the local Democratic party. We do not expect the Democratic organization to allow Sweeney to win the nomination at the primaries even if he gets a sufficient number of votes to do so.
AS TO HOUSING.
What The Gazette has been trying for months to make our people of this city see ought to be perfectly clear to all now. Sunday's daily newspaper publication with map, showing the locations selected for the local housing program, for which the federal government has offered twelve million dollars on the condition that two million dollars be

Salt is all that it needs to taste

Most fruits are best with just a dash of salt. Even grapefruit, when used as an appetizer, is best with just salt. It beverage sweeter to the taste than when sugar is used.
For berries, a dash of lemon and a bit of salt will add a novel de
raised locally, shows beyond all question or doubt what the real object of the alleged housing project is. First, to get rid of our people in the sections named, and as a result change the political set-up in Wards 11 and 12. Second, "to rehabilitate that central part of the city by securing for it a higher class of residents (white) and thus "improve" the eastern approach to both the Juvenile Court building and Detention Home, and Charity Hospital. Just as we have maintained for months, absolutely no provision will be made for housing the lowest income group of that section. In this group are thousands of our people and hundreds of Jewish, Italian and other people mainly of foreign extraction. When the two and threestory buildings contemplated are erected in the several sections of Wards 11 and 12 and their surroundings beautified with small parks, etc., the rental of rooms or suites in these new buildings will be entirely too high for the lowest income groups mentioned. And that will set the matter as far as they are concerned, will certainly change the political complexion of the wards mentioned. This with the help of federal (Dem.) money, controlled directly or indirectly by the local Democratic city administration over which Mayor Ray T. Miller will preside until the first of the year.
BUNDY'S BAD "BREAKS."
That short speech of Councilman Leroy Bundy, Sunday, at St. James' Forum, introducing Mr. Maurice Maschke, former local leader of the Republican party, was most unfortunate from both a Maurice Maschke and Harry L. Davis standpoint. It did no one any good and if it harmed anything at all, it is the local Republican party. It reminded many persons of another bad Bundy "break" of a couple of years ago when he announced in the local daily papers that if Maurice Maschke came into the 17th ward to make a political speech he would run him out of it. And when Mr. Maschke arrived to do so, no one could have been more obsequious in his reception of the local Republican leader at the time. Still another, was the promise Bundy made our people, particularly, of the third councilman district to do all in his power to help out Color-Line City Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, and then with his councilmanic colleagues, those other "Blossom Triplets," Clayborne George and Lawrence Payne, did just the opposite—broke his oft-repeated promise, made when a candidate begging for votes. Several months ago, Bundy started a little noise for George Bender as a candidate for mayor; then he switched to Daniel E. Morgan, the defeated Republican candidate of less than two years ago. All this at a time when Harry L. Davis was generally recognized as the leading leader of the local Republican party and its candidate for mayor, to be supported at the primary election, Oct. 3. "33. In his speech, Sunday, at St. James' Forum, he is quoted as saying: "Leaders are born, not made, and until we raise a real leader, Mr. Maschke still will be leader." This in the face of the fact that Harry L. Davis was duly elected leader of the local Republican party, several months ago, the position Mr. Maurice Maschke resigned urging the election of Mr. Davis. Just what is Bundy trying to do, anyhow? If the Republicans of the 17th ward want to please about everybody in the community but Bundy, they will give Dr. O. A. Childress, his opponent, on election day in November the biggest majority any triumphant Republican candidate for the City Council ever received in that ward. Exit Bundy!

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 followed 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.

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 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 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.
"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"!
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 years since the birth of The Grace, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette.
Yours for the right.
John P. Green.
(Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

ASSASSIN
A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assassin!

Richard Smith, pres. Sunday, on arrival, it was met by a committee and escorted to Robert I. Drake's, where luncheon was served, and an inspection of his garden made. From there, visits were made to others of local club members; to the cultural gardens in Rockefeller park, and to Mrs. Kermode Gill's garden in Harcourt Dr., where a joint meeting of the clubs was held. Following this they returned to Mr. Drake's, for dinner and a social evening.
The large store-room at 5006 Woodland Ave., Councilman Herman H. Finkle's headquarters, was packed to the doors, Tuesday evening, by a great crowd of enthusiastic Republicans who listened to campaign speeches delivered by Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis, candidate for mayor; former County Prosecutor Edw. Stanton, Judge Alfred L. Steuner, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette; former Councilman Clayborne George, Mr. Paul Apple, a candidate for membership in the Board of Education; Mrs. Letha C. Fleming, Rev. Van Pelt and others. Atty Alex. Bernstein presided and was at his best in several introductions of speakers, particularly that of Mr. Davis.

Paul Robeson, in a film translation of Eugene O'Neill's play, "Emperor Jones," is due at a local movie theater at an early date. it is announced. He as great an actor written soeloim, and that means something. It is a pity, however, that he is cast in a play which does our people harm every time it is presented, because it impresses the general public with the fool-idea that we are a race of cowards. One Dudley Digges, who plays the roll of "Smithers" in the play, is the only white person in the entire cast.
The local Republican organization some weeks ago slated Perry Jackson to succeed Clayborne George (resigned) as a member of the City Council from the 18th Ward. Therefore, the efforts of persons, opposing Charles S. Smith's candidacy for the Council in that ward, to make it appear that Mr. Smith opposed the selection and election of Perry, is amusing as well as malicious. There is absolutely no truth in the silly charge, as Mr. Smith announced, last week. The next councilman from the 18th Ward will be Charles S. Smith. Just remember this, please.
The Cleveland Gazette, one of the most valuable and interesting exchanges, commenced the fifty-first year of its publication, last week, and we extend our most sincere congratulations, for during all these years it has been a welcome visitor to this office. No race journal has been more earnest and ardent in deference to the people of Cleveland and our good friend, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, deserves the support and encouragement of our people. The Gazette has been regular, reliable and readible and merits all the praise which it has received.—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist.

Smart Fashions for Immediate Wear

PEELING the urge, are you, which, ever at the dawn of a season, takes possession of the style-minded, to be off with the old and on with the new? Be encouraged, ye who are about to enter on a "what-to-wear" quest, for we promise you thrilling discoveries for those who seek new clothes for autumn-winter, year 1983.
A most exciting "find" for early fall wear is the satin suit or ensemble which is sure to make you look slender beyond your fondest hopes. We are illustrating a stunning black satin model in the picture herewith. It is just such as behooves every woman to consider who aspires to be clad in the latest or rather should we say the earliest so far as initiating the new season is concerned. The dress is made with cap sleeves and it has a back-and-front yoke of white satin. Blas cut and graceful flare distinguish the skirt and please to notice the snug tight fit—most of the skirts are that way in the newer styles.
The three-quarter length matching coat is the very quintessence of chic, its full long sleeves with inset sections above the elbow being obviously "new." Satin is also used for the jaunty beret. Which is the same as saying that milliners are going to be in for a busy season since headgear made of the same material as the dress or coat is said to be going over in a big way for fall.
And then there are the new dotted satins, how striking they are! It is safe to guess that you will covet an outfit fashioned of such at first sight. There are also in the showing some very attractive dotted woolens. Choose either and you will be making no mistake. The model pictured happens to

Paris is sponsoring the discreet rhinestone hair ornament. The one which poses on the exquisitely coiffed head of the pretty young lady picture is in leaf design. Evening headaddresses which suggest a return to favor of formal jewelry have also been noted at many high functions, such as, for instance, a Juliet cap of silver lace mesh with a band of pearls, also a coronet done in gold wire with sprays of crystal leaves.

There's a real old-fashioned flavor in some of the new evening gown materials . . . printed satin, printed velvet in particular. Developed into gowns with a last-century look, they can add much to the charm of the wardrobe.

Lest you might think it a pointed-fox boa which milady is wearing with her modish satin ensemble we hasten to inform you that her jacket is made outstanding with one of the new shoulder arrangements such as certain leading designers are sponsoring this season. It may also interest you to know that quantities of monkey fur are likewise worked into odd epaulets and other novel trimmings. The swagger little "pill-box" turban of self-dotted-satin is one of the newest of the new.
Supposing you have a navy blue suit, or perhaps dress, which you long through the first weeks of the autumn season—here's how! Scout about town, you won't have to go far, for all the smart shops and specialty departments are displaying them—it's the "sets" which include scarf and gloves made of some one or other of the new novelty fabrics to which we have reference. The picture below in the group gives you the idea. "Nuff said!
If you happen to prefer a neckpiece and gloves of velvet or satin for dressier occasions you will have no difficulty in finding most any sort you want, for these made-of-fabric sets are being featured in every conceivable weave.

BLACK SATIN VOGUE
EXTENDS TO HATS
Black satin's vogue for fall wear is extended to hats in the newest displays of fall millinery. Latest models in the smarter shops show a wide variety. The very wide-brimmed hats for dresser occasions are most often found with a flat crown, some of the new models measuring only an inch or two in depth. Their round, wide brims are an irresistible temptation to any brisk breeze.
High-crowned hats are plentiful also, some of them with fairly good-sized brims, but most of these are decorated with a cluster of flowers at the base to soften the harsher lines.
An attractive model is of black velvet with a brim which dips over the right eye. At this point at the base of the crown is a huge bunch of pink and purple violets.
The younger things seem more likely to revel in the small brimless models. Berets that have more versatility and can be pulled into all sorts of odd angles already are giving proof of greater popularity.
Fabrics of Our Childhood
Come Back as Favorites
Dimity, dotted swiss, muslin, all the old fabrics of our childhood, return proudly as favorites of the new sartorial season, and are worn by the smartest women.
A simple dimity dress with very smart accessories is grand for town wear.
A most attractive frock is done in red and white dimity in a tiny check design. It has short full sleeves, a self-bow and tiny buttons down the bodice.
Fur Fabric Fashions
Fabrics resembling astrakhan and Persian lamb are among the favorite trimmings for new wool dresses designed to be worn without coats on early fall days.

Japan Is Young
Baseball Is Popular in Japan.
Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
WHEN occidental man first thinks about the Far East, China and Japan are envisaged as being much alike—indeed, almost as twins. But time enables him to discriminate.
Historically, China is old and ethical. The burden of all her literature is, "What ought I to do?" Japan is young and esthetic. The burden of her thought, as recorded for a thousand years, is, "What is beautiful?" Geologically, China is pre-ancient; Japan is recent. Long after Mother Earth had settled down to rear her earlier brood of lands, Japan, the youngster, arrived. Only about three-score years ago Japan shocked her elders in Asia by departing politically and socially from the ancient ways and turning toward those of "the western barbarians."
In nature, also, Japan has changed within our remembrance; Bandal san, one of the eruptions on her pretty face, misbehaved. For hundreds of years, so far as known in human records, perhaps during the millenniums of unrecorded time, it had been entirely dormant. As suddenly as the discharge of a cannon, it blew off its rocky cap in 1888 and killed more than 400 human beings. Curiously enough, in Japanese the same sound, san, serves to the ear for either "mister" or for "mountain." The one-time medieval village, Yedo, and the swift-growing national capital, Tokyo, which it became, was leveled in 1855 and it again in 1923 by destructive earth adjustments. Of old, the rest of the world knew not of these earthquakes. In the era of electric wires, even a tremor is news.
Like some vast factory town in which the blazing furnaces take a Sabbath rest, to begin again on Monday, Japan has given some 200 dorm volcanoes. How pretty, flower-covered and of graceful figure, they seem! Yet these mountain forms are liable at any moment to become unruly, and when in these fits of deadly temper they often devastate vast areas of human habitation and alter many square miles of landscape, as we saw in 1923. At least 50 of these sleeping, farilike cones have the promise and potency of continued activity.
Lovely as their outlines often are, their breath may be sulphurous to the point of danger. Even graceful Fuji, seemingly as demure as a virgin in her teens, cannot be trusted.
Garments of green forests, of grand trees, the vells of bamboo thickets, a tapestry of flowers, or even a mantle of winter snow provide no insurance against direful outburst. But, if Japan acts often like a fury, we must excuse her, because the bed on which she lies is one of fire.
Go down to Beppu, in Kyushu, for example, where the daily rice is cooked by subterranean heat, where people resort to bake out or broil out their various alliments. In the hot seashore sand, thousands of men and women for hours, even days, lie covered with the pulverized volcanic debris. By wet baking or parbelling, even to scarification, the patients seek to expel their many ills.
Beppu is a delightful place for a patient with rheumatic or other miseries. While there is a fair chance of being swallowed up and changed to a cinder by some fresh outburst of melted rock, such as only a century or two ago filled the valleys with scoria and lava, who cares, when no one can foretell the hour? Does not the man of Beppu know that other parts of fair Japan may be visited long before his turn comes? Did not Sakurajima at Kagoshima, of old supposed to be solid rock, erupt and bury a whole town of 10,000 people? Moreover, how welcome the sequester to these earth's outbursts—fertile soil covered with a carpet of lovely flowers and plants and easily coaxed into luxuriant production of food for man! "Shigata ga nai" (Don't care) is the usual verdict on the unknown, with the merry-hearted sons and daughters
—how fair are the latter—of Nippon. One who had known the sons of the Land of the Gods for more than half a century classifies the two kinds of men into "Don't cares" and those who, after every repulse of nature, cry "Let us rebuild!" Then, Caleb-like, these hearten others by declaring, "We are well able to do it." Like nature's dress, which later clothes in threefold loveliness, with color, beauty, and perfume, what was
once fiery scoria, the maldens know how to add to their physical charms through the witchery of raiment. In his ideas of beauty, and especially of dress patterns and whatever is applied to bodily wear, the Japanese artist-designer excels. For variety and originality he possibly leads the world. Men and women in their garb lovingly copy nature's moods. When a maiden adds to her faultlessly graceful costume a "Fulylama neck and shoulders," with a superb coiffure, who can do less than admire? Was it lackadulisal in the native poet to write of her: "One glance, and you would give your province; another, and you would-barter your kingdom?"
Yet, as of glamor for their women, as expressed in strains of admiration, so also and more have their poets written of the beautiful scenery and the special features of their native land. They reckon even clouds, mist, sunrise glow, and sunset glory as part of their country's life and adornment. Yet it is not it, but we, who say "her" of nature, for personification is rare in Japanese literature, art, or language. Of a thousand figures of speech in poetry, many of which refer to the moon, scarce a dozen bear any resemblance to the description of that luminary as "a fair malden with white fire laden." Nevertheless, apart from literature, in Japan all nature is alive with personality. The mountains, especially in the beauty spots, are inhabited by gods and goddesses.
To the average native, these personalities in the realm of imagination seem as real as the virgin priestesses at the Shinto shrines.
Every year, at the invitation and under the direction of the imperial court, thousands of the short, syl-lable poems are sent, for oblivion or glory, by the people, from beggar boy to noble, to the court's staff of literary appraisers and censors. After due scrutiny and appraisement, rewards are meted out, not to rhymeasters, for there are none, but to the poets.
But let us come down to facts and figures of area and population and of facilities of movement by land and sea.
Travel today in the Japanese empire is one of luxury and detailed convenience as compared with what existed 60 years ago. Japan proper is now threaded with 15,413 miles of railways and trolleys, rivers are crossed by countless bridges, and the ocean paths to all continents are traversed by ships that move with an influence and punctuality that are akin to the movements of the heavenly bodies.
Intellectual preparation for change had been in progress a century or more before the arrival of President Fillmore's peaceful armada of 1853. Japan's modern, history is truly as much one of interior discipline as of any reinforcement from the outside.
On the other hand, America's intervention under Perry was really an extension and fresh application of the Monroe Doctrine. It came at an opportunity time. The old mikado, or emperor, Komel, was nearing his demise, and his son and heir, Mutsuhito, who was destined to rule the New Japan in the longest reign (1867-1912) known in the nation's history, was soon to take the throne.
During his reign the compromise between the personalities and energies representing war and peace resulted in shattering forever the Chinese claim of sovereignty over the Ryukyu (Nansel) islands and Korea and rolled back the tide of Russians and European aggression.
Honshu the Chief island.
The present-day empire consists of the four large islands of Japan proper, with nearly 4,000 smaller ones; Taiwan (Formosa); Karafuto, the portion of Sakhalin below the fifth parallel of north latitude; and Korea.
The country's life centers on Main island, Honshu, the chief theater of its history. Here is the bulk of the population; and here are the chief cities; towns and villages are thickly clustered. Hence, in the minds of foreigners, this large island, with its 86-300 square miles of area, is practically Japan.
To risk a further computation, one fancies that 80 per cent of all visitors to Japan "do" Honshu only. Nevertheless, Kyushu, with busy Nagasaki on its southwest tip, being the historic home of the Dutch who, for nearly three centuries, kept the world informed concerning the hermit nation, is far from unknown to the world at large.

Laundry Lessons
SAFETY FOR FINE DRAPERIES
CONTRARY to popular belief, it is possible to wash fine dresses, hangings and furniture sip covers without danger of injury to the fabric or of fading, by exercising reasonable care and by following the suggestions listed below:
1. Shake dust out thoroughly.
2. Make tepid or cool suds, using mild, pure, white soap or flakes. Never use home-made soap. Avoid boiling and hard rubbing.
3. Lace curtains may be safely soaked. For colored fabrics use a second suds if dirt is stubborn.
4. Wash by gently swirling around and squeezing suds through the article. If washed by machine, run only a few minutes, change suds, and run a few minutes longer.
5. Use lukewarm rinsings, squeezing as dry as possible without wringing.
6. Hang smoothly on line to prevent wrinkles and streaks. Colored fabrics should be hung in shade.
7. Iron while uniformly damp with medium hot iron. Silks should be ironed in one direction only and it is best to allow natural silk to dry completely before ironing.

INDIANAPOLIS (Special) — Old Dobbin will be out of a job soon, when Lee Oldfield's new invention reaches the ears of operators of big horse-drawn delivery fleets. Twelve years ago, Oldfield, exrace driver and automotive designer, decided he could build a motor delivery truck better and cheaper to operate than a horse and wagon. Now after years of work, he has completed what a prominent automobile magnate calls "the most unique vehicle in production." It is operated by a single hand

A serious difficulty encountered by water engineers in the past has been that the organic matter carried down decomposed and gave rise to unpleasant odors. But several years ago it was discovered that the addition of nuchar activated carbon to the alum prevented the silt from imparting bad odors to the water, and at the same time hastened the action of the alum in precipitating the solid impurities. Now nuchar is used by nearly 500

With no chemical action on the water, nuchar, because of its remarkable physical properties acts somewhat as a sponge or a piece of blotting paper in removing tastes and odors from the water supply.

lever, with no shift levers or foot pedals. The motor is in the rear end, attached to the rear wheels, and can be removed as quickly as a horse from a wagon. It has no frame, and each wheel is individually sprung. It is cheap to operate and costs about the same as a horse and wagon.
A novice can learn to drive it in a city block, Oldfield says, and it will "do everything a horse can do but come when you whistle."
So thousands of milk and bakery horses seem doomed to join the army of the unemploved.

Standing with majestic grandeur opposite the Twenty-third street entrance in the geographical center of A Century of Progress—the Chicago World's Fair—the Havoline thermometer tower is one of the most popular rendevouz of the Fair. Located on a grassy eminence overlooking the lagoon, it is a logical meeting place for Fair visitors. In addition to these meetings, scores of telephone calls are received at the tower daily from persons seeking friends.
