GEORGE WARNED BY 11TH WARD CLUB!
Cleveland, O., Sept. 18, '33.
Mr. Clayborne George,
2178 E. 81st St., City.
My dear Mr. George:—You are aware, I am sure, that there is a fight on in the Eleventh Ward as to who shall represent that ward in the next Council, which will be elected in November. Dr. E. J. Gregg, a former member of the City Council, is before the people of the Eleventh Clean, honest effort to win the election.
It is true, too, that you are a candidate for a judgeship of the Municipal Court, six-year term. As a candidate for that office, you have a perfect right to appeal to all the people of the entire city for your election to that office. But, as a candidate for that office, which is supposed to be non-partisan and non-political, it ill-becomes your come into the 114th ward of which You are not a resident, and try to influence the people in favor of the present incumbent in the office of councilman.
If you are to be elected to a judge's
it will have to be by the votes
of people who, perhaps, do not want
the same persons in office with whom
you have been associated. To take
sides in a controversy of this kind
will mean that you will alienate from
your support those whom you offend
by taking sides against the men of
their choosing.
We are appealing to the people of
the 11th Ward on the strength of Dr.
Gregg's record. We are asking no
candidate to come into the ward and
help him. We feel that no one, who
wants our support, has the right to
speak against our candidate as you
did at the Grand Central Theatre on
Friday, Sept. 15, '33. I am
Sincerely,
Publicity agent, The Gregg-for-
Council Club, 4608 Central Ave., City,
Cleveland, O., Sept. 18, '33.
Mr. Clayborne George,
3158 E. Central City,
My dear Mr. George:—It has come to the attention of the I. B. N. Republican—Gregg for-Council Club, from a source which we know to be entirely reliable, that you came to a meeting at the Grand Central Theatre on Friday, Sept. 15, 1973, when you told me the most present that they ought to return Lawrence O. Payne to the City Council from the Eleventh Ward. It was also said in that meeting that if Payne were not returned to the Council, then, you did not want to be a judge of the Municipal Court. The I. B. N. Republican club, at a special meeting drafted Dr. E. J. Gregg as their candidate for Council of the 11th Ward. At that same meeting the club endorsed your candidacy for the judgehidy to a meeting of the club made an address to left the meeting ledged yourself to keep out of the councilmanic fights. We know that you have not kept that promise.

Resigns as Pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational Church to Do So—Served in the City Council.
Rev. Russell S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Cong. church for the past eight years, has resigned to accept his brother's A. M. E. pastorate in Denver, Colo. the brother was a new charge in Pasadena, Calif. Rev. Brow's resignation will become effective. Jan. 1, 1934. For some months he served in the City Council of this city, succeeding former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming.
"Cleveland has been good to me and we shall always think of it as our home," he said in his statement, Sunday morning, to the congregation. "Ties have been made here that can be broken only by death; lessons that will always be appropriated for examples elsewhere. "There is inter-racial accord here that cannot be excelled in any other city. Social justice is approached here more nearly than in any other city we have ever lived in. Cleveland is a laboratory that will some day produce the formula for solving many of the problems confronting the world. You will to continue to be a part of the total community and to think of all the people and their welfare. Cultivate people of all political faiths and religious views. While we are going to another city to labor we shall always claim Cleveland as home."

"JIM CROW" ETHEL WATERS
New York City—Gilbert W. Gabriel, widely known dramatic critic (white) of this city, writing to leading daily newspapers of the country, had the following in their Sunday editions, of special interest to Afro-Americans: "As Thousands Cheer," the Moss Hart-Irving Berlin musical show, had a gala Saturday night opening in the Music Box. It is a brilliant reue, not afraid to exhibit brains as well, and full to the top with that particular elaboration which first-class satire always "Marilyn Miller, Clifton Webb and Helen Broderick are its starred celebrities, with Ethel Waters featured down below. A curious 'Jim Crow' sort of differentiation, which I don't think Miss Waters, as fine an artist and comedian as any of them, quite deserves."

S. Constitution read to them. Even Congress, judges and learned lawyers disagree in construing articles and sections of the U. S. Constitution; yet, in Louisiana, our taxpayers are required to do as much before they are allowed to vote. Is this justice?

Mrs. Roosevelt's Summer Camp for Homeless Girls on Bear Mountain in New York State.
Albany, N. Y.—In Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's camp in the open on Bear Mountain, far above the Hudson River, the past summer, from June 10 to Oct. 1, were 200 jobless, homeless women and girls, mostly Irish and Jewish, and eight of our girls. All were quartered at Camp Tera on Lake Tioriat, the largest of the mountain Lakes. None of our girls were in the first quota to reach camp. When it was learned that two were coming a public announcement was made. When they arrived several white girls stepped up and invited them to share their cabins. The only friction developed was beaten, and this was unimportant. Indeed, there was practically no dissatisfaction in the camp from the first few days.

At least eleven Sweneey clubs have hurdled to the candidacy of Ex-Mayor Harry L. Davis, since the primary, last week Tuesday.

Termination of American financial control in the black republic, Haiti perpetuated "to collect a debt due to private bankers," and administrative action similar to that taken in Cuba to effect a scaling down of the loan by these bankers, were urged on President Roosevelt, recently, in a memorial signed by liberals and liberal organizations. The memorial commended the provisions of the Executive Agreement signed, Aug. 7, which promised the withdrawal of marines from Haiti but recommended that further negotiations be undertaken for the settlement of financial problems by an official treaty.

The Roosevelt administration's latest plans for re-opening banks, liberalizing credit and particularly for the building of low cost homes, which are now expected to materialize "in a few days," are surely good ones. The housing question up to date has been approached here from the wrong end—building homes for all "income groups" except the lowest which of course needs them most. We repeat—the housing scheme for Wards 11 and 12, projected by Cleveland Homes, Inc., will not care for the lowest income groups—the poor Jews, Italians and Afro-Americans of that section of the city. This the leaders of Cleveland Homes, Inc., frankly admitted, several months ago.

SEND HIM BACK!
R. A. Blake, personal manager for Warner Brothers Theaters, Inc., New York City, is said to have told a delegation of N. Y. City post office clerks of both races that "Warner Brothers hire colored people in their proper places as porters." Which means that if Warner Brothers Theaters, Inc., do not soon blake back "down home," away back behind the sun, more than a score of their theaters in New York City which are very largely patronized by our people will soon be losing, every week, more money than a dozen Blakes would be worth to them. It is really funny at times what consumate asses some "crackers" make of themselves and, too, in the most public way. After all the years, since the war of the rebellion, occasionally you find one who is trying to stop with his hands the great rush of water over Niagara Falls. Poor fish!

The Annual Forget-me-not Drive, conducted by the Disabled Veterans of the World War, will be held this year on October 20. 20 years of plans are already made to make it the drive ever held in the county, because the unfortunate disabled veterans are in a worse condition now than ever before, until proper re-adjustments can be made in the wholesale slash manure. In the future, the responsibility of taking care of them is shifted directly upon the public.
"THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS."
As is generally known, Payne, Bunday and George, "The Triplets," were not so "hot" for the mayoral candidacy of Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis prior to the primary, last week Tuesday. Since Mr. Davis' nomination, Bundy and Payne, particularly, have almost "broken a leg playing to the gallery" in an effort to impress people with the fact that they have at last given up their pre-primary support of the "nomination" of George Bender or Dan Morgan instead of Harry L. Davis. Bundy was quoted in the daily papers, the first of the week, as saying he was "originally bitterly opposed to the manager plan of government (as well as Harry L.
M. J. B.
"The Blossom Triplets."
Davis), but the more I see this mayor form the work, the more I know that I was wrong." This is to laugh! The same is true of his statement anent the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co., in his talk, Sunday afternoon, to the Forum at Bethany Baptist church, 7106 Kinsman Rd., when he attacked Mayor Miller's silly claim of credit for lowering the electric light rates. After nearly four years in the City Council, and just before election, and when he knows there is not even a possibility of the passage of the same, Bundy introduced a resolution, Monday night, in the City Council for a 5-cent streetcar fare in Central Ave. More political hokum. This same is true of Councilman Lawrence O. Payne's very weak attempt to grill Mayor Miller who undoubtedly was guilty as charged, Monday evening. Payne charged our very weak mayor with using relief workers to play cheap Democratic politics. His charges were undoubtedly good but lacked the force necessary to bring results. Payne is closing four years' service in the Council and his constituents, like those of Bundy, and former Councilman Clayborge George, have practically nothing of benefit to show as a result of their service in that august body. Monday evening, the mayor and his finance director promised the City Council finance committee to assemble all available street improvement funds for use in the projected widening of E. 14th St. between Euclid and Orange Aves: Hamm Ave. between Broadway and Dolloff Rd., and Fulton Rd. between Memphis Ave. and the southerly end of the bridge over Brookside Park. Not a word was said by Councilmen Payne, Bundy and Perry B. Jackson about the widening of E. 30th St., from Central Ave. south. E. 30th St., from Central Ave. north, was widened and repaired during former Councilman Thos. Fleming's service. E. 30th St., south from Central Ave., is in a deplorable condition; the pavement is very bad and the street entirely too narrow for many vehicles and autos to pass the street cars, the spaces between the outer cartracks and the curb being too narrow. "Step on it," Perry! You're a new member. Show us!
OCTOBER OPPORTUNITY
This month's "Opportunity" carries an interesting discussion of "The Negro in Skilled Crafts and Construction" by Charles S. Johnson of Fisk University, and the first installment of "Gin and Moonlight," a story by Henry B. Jones of Philadelphia. Jesse O. Thomas exposes the efforts of the South to the provisions of the NRA in an article, "Will the Negro Deal be a Square Deal." Frequency in the Afro-American Community of Chicago is set forth by Earl R. Moses of that "October Prayer" is the title of a poem by Esther Popel. Lawrence Reddick, formerly of Fisk U., writes of "What Does the Younger Afro-American Think?" And Sterling Brown reviews "Tone the Bell Easy," a publication of the Texas Folk-Lore Society.
Something Wrong!
There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation. The sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

The ROUNDER
The law provides that members of the City Council must be ELECTED. The statement in a Wednesday evening daily paper that Hubbard became a member of the City Council on the withdrawal of Smith is silly. The statement in a Tuesday neither Smith nor the Board of Elections knew, Tuesday, whether or not he could withdraw. This same is true of the reporter who wrote the story.
---
The claim of "a new, young leadership in Ward 18" is as amusing as it is silly. The old "George-Mason" leadership, that "put Hubbard across", hasn't abdicated by a good deal and has no intention of doing so. The Republican organization's workers in the ward. The election is yet to come and it may also be advisable to soft-pedal that "Hungry Man" talk for what Congressman Oscar DePriest said: "Never elect a hungry man to lead." The Republican organization just as applicable today as it was when uttered by DePriest, many months ago.
---
More than the 520 announced votes were cast for former Councilman E. J. Gregg at the recent primary. More than the number of votes credited Congressman Martin Sweeney, a candidate for mayor, were cast for him, too. Gregg and Sweeney were victims of political "sharp-punches" by Republican Democrat, respectively. Dr. Oscar A. Childress of the 17th Ward was undoubtedly a victim of both Republican and Democratic "sharp-shooters," being an independent Republican whose candidacy was sponsored mainly by the Sweeney Democrats in his ward. There sure were some funny angles in last week Tuesday's primary election. To The Rounder one of the most amusing incidents of the reelection campaign of the Councilman Payne's claim of part-credit for the erection of the Portland-land-waite Center (bathhouse, swimming pool, etc.)—one of the weakest efforts to chisel in on Councilman Finkle who is entitled to all the glory for that almost spectacular improvement. Rev. John W. Ribbins (Dem.), who ran next to Payne receiving 677 votes, paid much attention to the credible update on election next month. All things considered, he is our best local councilman candidate.
---
On the ground of promoting harmony among 18th Ward Republican Charles S. Smith made application Monday, to the Board of Elections to permit him to withdraw as a candidate for the City Council from that ward. Smith ran second at the primary, last week Tuesday, because John E. Hubbard was supported by the Republican organization workers in that ward, lead by former Ward local Chairman George and his assistant, Mrs. Lilly Mason. The board, uncertain as to its authority to release Mr. Smith, wired the attorney general of the state at Columbus for a ruling in the matter which was to have been received in time for its meeting. Thursday. The decision to get out of the race was reached at a conference, Monday morning, in the office of Mr. Maurice Maschke, local Republican leader, in which participated George, Hubbard and Hawkins (a Sweeneyite); Mr. Smith his assistant, George, whom included Messrs. Gassaway, Baylor, Lyons, Seawright and others. This was followed by a stormy meeting of Mr. Smith and his campaign workers, at Howard Slaughter's place of business. Tuesday evening. The latter protested vehemently his withdrawal, providing his the board of Elections is legally able to permit it. The long continued illness of his wife and the advice of local Republican leaders were also factors in encouraging Mr. Smith to withdraw from the contest altho his supporters, confident of success on election day, Nov. 7. '33, are insistent that he remain in the race, with Smith out the race, there may be资格 will be unopposed in the Nov. 7 election or whether the place vacated by Smith will go to Dr. James A. Owen, Democrat, who finished third in the run-off in the Eighteenth Ward.

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 laws. In 1900, the United States enacted 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 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" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2).
costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10).
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought
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 whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. 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 to exceed 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 allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such injury, such sum shall be distributed among the widow of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.)
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 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which 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 6286. 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 county, unless 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

Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county, failing to project such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, 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 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.

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 assasin!

"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is palmed.
My soul is sick with every day's report.
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man; the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own; and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.

CHE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1933.
HARRY L. DAVIS' STRONG PLATFORM.
Administration of relief for the poor and work for the unemployed overshadows all problems confronting the next mayor. Politics has disgracefully distorted this humanitarian function during the past two years. It must and will be eliminated.
Underworld forces have menaced the community because politics and internal strife have tended to undermine the morale of the police department. During the past two years an attempt has been made to make the police and fire departments an adjunct of a political machine. We shall rip out the political wires which connect the police department
Cleveland's Next Mayor. with machine politics.
The women's police bureau has come to serve a special function in the community. I shall re-establish it, and provide it with proper quarters and put it in charge of one particularly qualified for this position and responsible solely to the chief of police. The municipal light plant was established as a barometer for equitable light rates in the City of Cleveland. This test cannot be a fair one so long as the plant suffers waste, inefficiency, extravagance, and—worst of all the devastating sabotage of utter neglect. It is my purpose to rehabilitate the municipal light plant so that it may serve the purpose for which it was originally conceived. Such a policy enabled me, in my administration to establish cost of manufacture and save the public millions of dollars in illuminating Co. to cut its rate to Clevelanders from ten cents to five cents.
While Cleveland's population has increased only 13.5 per cent since our former mayoralty administrations, the cost of operating the city has risen 100 per cent. High taxes have crippled business and harassed small homeowners. Waste and extravagance in city expenditures must stop. The spending area for the city will be ordered of the day. We will slash the cost of city government.
The street car is a vital concern of every citizen. Present street car fare is high. Negligence, inefficiency and incompetence have scrapped the Tayler grant since I left the mayor's office. To revive the spirit and intent of the Tayler grant, I shall appoint a street railway commissioner, qualified, equipped and loyal solely to the car ride. The Tayler grant has a five cent fare. We will bend our energies towards a restoration of this fare.
The greatest weapon against high telephone, gas and other utility rates is the force of public opinion. It is within the power of the mayor so to galvanize public opinion as to compel prompt determination of utility rates by the public utilities commission. The present state laws require public utilities to be in cases. It shall be my concern to prosecute reform of these laws in order to make impossible dilatory practices which now obtain.
All of the city's recreational facilities will be placed at the disposal of the people and utilized to the utmost. It is intended that these recreational facilities shall be used not only for the summer season but throughout the entire year. Cleveland has an underground exhibition hall, which while not in use for exhibitions can be used for other purposes. I propose to convert it into a great community center and people's club where all of Cleveland's citizens and particularly the younger folk may have a central gathering place for clean, healthful sports, exertion and entertainment. Gordon Park for some years has been without a bath-house. It will be our purpose to construct a suitable building to take care of the public at this beach. With the rapid progress of the St. Lawrence Lake to Ocean shipping project, it is important that Cleveland prepare its port and river system to be able to share of benefits from this improvement. Every resource possible must be thrown into proper and prompt lake front developments.
The mayor of a city the size of Cleveland must take the initiative in promoting social legislation in Ohio. The United States and Cleve-

land have passed thru years of economic nightmare. We hope never again to experience anything like it. Permanent remedies for our economic disturbances must be found. As mayor, I shall use the influence of my position for social betterment of all classes by urging passage in the state budget for insurance and old age pension laws. Cleveland has always enjoyed the reputation of being among the foremost cities in the country in matters of civic enterprise and co-operation with programs of national import. During the last war, while I was mayor, this city mobilized and organized a national need. This spirit of full cooperation with the national government in the direction of national recovery must and will continue.

CHANGE OF BLOUSE VARIES BLACK SUIT
Makes It Answer for Whole Winter Wardrobe.
Here are a few suggestions as to how you may make a whole winter wardrobe out of one black wool suit. Let us say, just for example, that you have chosen one with a three-quarter coat, and fur trimming, conservative in cut and warm enough to wear all winter.
If you want to be very up-to-the-minute, you will make yourself a long-sleeved tunic blouse in a bright shade of crepe.
Another smart street blouse may be of black wool jersey with a gold hairline stripe, used horizontally. This is made in a short overblouse, with long sleeves loose at the wrists, and a neckline of twisted gold wool rope very high at the throat, with a fringed end hanging down the left side.
If you like the black-and-white theme, you may choose a black wool mesh blouse, which ties at the waistline.
Slightly more formal, but not too dressy, is a blouse of pale beige wash satin. This is worn as an overblouse, fitted at the waistline with tucks. The modified high collar and ascot tie are trimmed with quilting. Very smart for luncheon in town.
A little dressier is a blouse, also in pale beige, but this time in a rather rough crinkly crepe. It's made with long sleeves, set in a rather wide armhole and fitted tightly around the wrist.
The drawstring neckline finishes with an upstanding frill which makes a new high collar line, and the drawstring finishes with scarf ends in the front.
COMES FROM PARIS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
One of Schiaparell's most popular town and country ensembles consists of a skirt and voluminous top-coat of deep red and beige striped camel's hair. When the top-coat is removed the costume appears as you see it in this picture. The blouse is of dark red silk matching the red tone in the striped camel's hair skirt. Over this is worn a very new version of our American classic, the suede jacket, in beige. For cold days the heavy camel's hair top-coat can be added. This camel's hair weave is of particular style significance in that it is of the shaggy woolen type which is so definitely spotlighted in fashion's realm for fall and winter. The smart snug-fitting hat worn by this chic Parisienne is Schiaparell's own knitted model. Note also the large proportions of this noted designer's box-calf bag.

White Accessories With
Black Frocks in Fashion
White accessories with black frocks are seen at smart luncheons and teas. At a recent restaurant one chic guest wore a little black marocain suit with a sailor hat and blouse of crisp white cotton lace, while another appeared in a black marocain dress accented by a Pilgrim collar, a high toque and gauntlet gloves of white pique.
The evening mode has likewise taken to black and white, many black crepe frocks being worn with capes of white organdle and jackets of crisp white pique.
Silk Hose
Before wearing silk hose, and after each washing, rinse in a quart of water to which has been added about half a teaspoonful of alum. You will find that the fabric will last about three times as long.

Names, cities and towns have many origins. First families have left their famous surnames to designate post offices and railroad stations in the United States, and in addition many humble folk have contributed their more familiar appellations such as Dad, Bill, Nick, Tim, Floe, Vick and Maggie. Aside from family names the homely nouns and adjectives of the work-a-day world have found their way by the score to maps and sign posts.

er who lost his life in first finding the Northwest passage through the great ice of the Polar regions. There is perhaps no more beautiful story of untiring devotion and persistent effort than that of Lady Jane Franklin who, after the failure of many attempts, fitted out a ship-which, though it brought back to her the definite proof of the loss of her husband's expedition, established his achievement of his object.
Pocahontas and Victoria.
The picturesque stories of the little Indian princess Pocahontas always will hold a loved place in the hearts of American childhood. Counties in Iowa and West Virginia, villages in Bond county, Illinois, and Cape Girardeau county, Missouri, and the Rocky mountains in Alberta, Canada, are named for her. Queen Victoria's name is wrapped around the British empire from the capital of British Columbia, over the heart of Africa at Victoria Nyanza and Victoria Falls, and beyond into the Queensland and Victoria in faraway Australia.
America, too, in its early days of colonization paid its tribute to the queens of the mother country and to the gracious ladies who braved the dangers of untried shores with their lords. Elizabeth, a cape in Maine, and Elizabeth City in Virginia, as well as the state itself, together with some twenty-five other places in the United States, bear the name of the clever, witty, versatile coquette, who took the dissension-torn England and whipped it into a place as a world power. Elizabeth Carteret, the charming wife of one of the artisticocratic proprietors of New Jersey, shares with Queen Elizabeth some of the honors of the name. Elizabethtown in North Carolina, and Elizabeth City in New Jersey are named for her.
There wasn't any Martha, of Martha Vineyard, however. The first name is supposed to be a corruption of Martin, a friend of the discoverer of the island. The word Vineyard was added later on account of the wild grapes found on the island. Vinland, the name which Lief Erleson gave the North American continent, was suggested in a similar manner.
Maryland and Virginia are fairly bespattered with the names of the queens and princesses of England, the very state-names themselves being taken from that of Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles I, and the disputably fortunate estate of Elizabeth. Then, too, there are Annapolis, named for the wife of James I of England; and Anne Arundel and Caroline counties, in Maryland, called after the wives of two of the Calverts; Fluvanna county and the North Anna river in Virginia named for Queen Anne; and Charlotte, Amelia and Caroline counties and Charlottesville, the home of the University of Virginia, all called for the wives and daughters of the English kings. Marietta, Ohio, was named for the haughty, charming Marie Antoinette, The Aleutian islands, off the coast of Alaska, when that territory was Russian, were known as Catherine Archipelago in honor of Catherine the Great. Ekaterinburg was named for the Catherine who ruled Russia through her husband, Peter the Great,
For Constantine's Mother.
St. Helena, the rugged little island in the Pacific which has such a soothing effect upon the restless tendencies of autocrats, bears the name of the mother of Constantine the Great, who, according to legend, discovered the cross upon which Christ died, during a visit she made to the Holy Land. She was known in the early days of Christianity for her religious zeal and plenty. Helena, Mont., though opinions differ as to the origin of the name, is said to have been so called because of the resemblance of its location to that of St. Helena. The naming of Hart county, Georgia, is a generous tribute to a Dixie heroine of the Revolution, Nancy Hart.
The harbor Beara in Ireland is said to have been named by Owen More, king of Munster during the reign of Conn of the Hundred Battles, for his wife, a Spanish princess. No saint of Conn is clearer place in the Irish heart than St. Brigid, often called Brigid of Munster, who find her name in several variations in the names of many churches and places throughout that country.

PROTEST! PROTEST!!
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and injustice, we should serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
