Another Threat! Let no one have the idea this slum housing project is to be a bonanza for property owners. If they do not sell well we will move the project elsewhere—Marc J. Grossman, chairman of the Cleveland Housing Authority. Another Threat! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Rounder wants to warn all of our people owning property in that section to not sign papers of real estate agents or other "Housing" representatives, giving option on their property anywhere in the Central Ave. district. If you do, you will lose about three-fourths of its value. Remember this, and tell it: Reuben Baden, age 45, of 4621 Scovill Ave., had just made arrangements to move out of the neighborhood. Wednesday night, when he crunched up the snow sidewalk to his home. There were some crunches behind him, and then two men held him firmly while the third took his hat, coat and watch. Hatless and coattails and without the third piece. Baden walked to the Third Place Station at 2495 E. 35th St., and told a sergeant who wrote out a report of Baden's untoward experience, putting the loss at only 5%. Baden then walked home again. "What policeman could have been so unkind and so misinformed as to tag the sheriff's car?" Johnnie Sulkman asked himself and reporters. Wednesday. He held in his hand a ticket issued for parking a car, on E. 17th St., against traffic regulations. He made out that the picture on the ticket was that of Parolman Robert Haymond. "You see," said the sheriff, "I had taken my old darling—my wife—out to celebrate her 62d birthday. We had dinner and then I took my wife to the Palace. And when we came out there was this tag. Now what good can it do to tag the sheriff's car? I too had, Johnnie, just whether he intended to tear up the ticket or pay. RIPLEY "ODDITORIUM" Here From the Century of Progress Chicago — away Be, Sure, I, See, Ha. There are no illusions in the Ripley "Odditorium" that is being transferred this week-end from the Chicago World's Fair midway to the former Higbee store at Euclid Ave. and E. 13th St., Cleveland. There is no chance to doubt the human oddities and the hundreds of inanimate curiosities included in the exhibit, for the proof is right theor. Cartoonist Ripley has traced the incredible, the unbelievable. Many of these rare specimens, both human and inanimate, will be seen for the first time since pictured and described by Ripley in the 300 American and foreign newspapers which ran the pictured stories of his discoveries. In bringing the Ripley "Odditorium" to Cleveland, Nov. 18 to 26, The Cleveland News will use the proceeds for their Christmas toy fund for needy children, and in addition an opportunity will be given to assemble of curiosities that are available for the first time, outside the gates of the World's Fair. Performances will be continuous, starting at noon,today, Saturday. At the recent meetings of the N. E. O. Teachers' Association at Public Hall, groups of our children from Rutherford B. Hayes and Observation school did some very acceptable demonstration - work in poem appreciation and story-telling. DR. JOSEPH L. JOHNSON Appointed to a Position in the U. S. Interior Department—Former Minister to Liberia, West Africa. Washington, D. C. — Announcement is made by Dr. Clark Foreman (white), of Atlanta, Ga., adviser to U. S. Secretary of the Interior Ickes on the Afro-American's economic status, of the appointment of Dr. Joseph L. Johnson of Columbus, O., and Dr. Robert C. Weaver of Greenboro, N. C., to positions in his office. Dr. Johnson was born and reared in Ohio, and educated in the public schools of Rendville, Ohio, and at Howard University, this city, where he received the degree, Doctor of Medicine. He was Minister to Liberia under Press Dr. Weaver was born in Washington, D. C, and educated at Harvard, graduating with honors in 1929. He received the Master's degree there in 1931, and Ph.D, in the Department of Economics there in 1933. Dr. Weaver is at present professor of economics in the North Carolina A. and T. college at Greensboro. He will be given leave of absence to work in the Interior Department. He has also been a technical adviser to the joint committee on National Recovery. HITS HOUSING PLAN Of Secretary the Interior Ickes—Col. Hamilton Fish, Our Friend of N. Y. City, Does So. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes' proposal for a federal housing corporation was termed "a concrete example of the socialistic tendencies of the new deal," statement justified by Representative Hamilton Fish (R.), New York City. Fish said the proposed ownership of apartment houses by the federal government would constitute state Socialism and would delay construction by private industry. The New PETER H. Congressman Hamilton Fish. York congressman declared the people who put the Democratic administration into office "did not and would not vote for state Socialism, nor would not vote for the unfair to the public under the subterfuge of stimulating industry and relieving unemployment." "The federal government," he continued, "has no more right to engage in the ownership, construction and operation of apartment houses than it has in any other prince," he added, "just as well become the butcher, baker, candle-stick maker or undertaker." "If the policy of the administration is to sovietize industry, the issue had best be presented to the American people at once. What has become of the Democratic principles of Thomas Jefferson who stood for the individual, private enterprise and the least possible interference by governmental bureaucracies? "It would be interesting to know what such Democratic standard bearers as Alfred E. Smith and John W. Davis thought of this experiment of the federal government with Russian Communism." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BUNDY! CILMAN'S SLOGAN SPEECH, LAST FEBRUARY, IN N RESERVE REPUBLICAN CLUB ROOMS. lets," George, Payne and Bundy, Daniel E. Morgan, George H. Anyone for Mayor Except on. Harry L. Davis. THE COUNCILMAN'S SLOGAN EVER SINCE HIS SPEECH, LAST FEBRUARY, IN THE WESTERN RESERVE REPUBLICAN CLUB ROOMS. "The Blossom Triplets," George, Payne and Bundy, Were for Daniel E. Morgan, George H. Bender or Anyone for Mayor Except the Hon. Harry L. Davis. ```markdown ``` Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City Dear Sir:—"Davis can't win!" was Councilman Leroy Bundy's slow slowly move to the Senate that speech in the Western Reserve republican rooms, last February, almost up until election day, last week. Associated with him in this belief were Councilman Lawrence Payne and former Councilman Clay- bourne George whose defeat as a candidate for election as a municipal judge was forecast in these columns, for weeks, prior to Nov. 7, 1933. Aocating and trying to en- gage the public for many of either Daniel E. Morgan or George H. Bender, or anyone else, in opposition to that of Ex-Gov. and Ex- Mayor Harry L. Davis seemed to be a Bundy obsession with him and the two other "Blossom Triplets" (George and Payne) up to the formal endorsement of the candidacy of Mr. Davis by the Republican leaders. He was key. After that, especially since the elected candidacy of Congressman Martin L. Sweeney, "The Triplets" led by Bundy, continued to herald the alleged weaknesses of Ex-Gov. Davis as the Republican candidate for mayor. They apparently believed that he could not beat Mayor Miller and Congressman Sweeney, demanding that he run third at the primary. This "The Triplets" at the Triplets' anti-Davis talk and it gave the most encouragement to the organization of "Negro" Democratic 100 "The Blossom Triplets." Sweeney clubs in Wards 14, 17 and 18, the largest in the city. With these clubs "The Blossom Triplets," George, Bundy and Payne, flirted in an effort to promote their own candidacies. It is still being pretty generally talked, that prior to the primary Sweeney's petitions were permitted to be circulated in Wards 11, 17 and 18 long before those of Harry L. Davis; that Mr. Davis' petitions were did in abeyance, while their own circulations were being circulated and signed, until the Friday preceding the following Monday, the closing date, Sept. 14, on which all petitions were to be in—filed with the Board of Elections. After the primary and almost up until election day, "The Blossom Triplets apparently clung to the fact that they couldn't almost wholly in behalf of their own candidacies, paying very little attention to that of the Republican candidate for mayor, Harry L. Davis. About the only meeting addressed by Bundy was at Liberty Hill Baptist church, in Kinsman Rd., when he introduced Mr. Davis, the principal speaker. All three "triplets" did not show by their interest in the candidate of the Republican in the candidate for mayor, be in until almost the very last they expected Mayor Ray T. Miller's re-election. Last Sunday, "The Blossom Triplets" and a few of their close friends met in an effort to formulate a plan that would enable them to control the appointments for the 11th, 17th and 18th Wards, if not for the entire third councilmanic district, and the city. Monday, it is THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSEWI's most prominent published sections of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. said they assembled in a similar meeting. As an exhibition of nerve, even in politics, these two political gestures outrank anything of a sim- PETER H. ____ Mayor lar nature in the history of Cleveland, for possibly a quarter of a century. Bundy's treatment of the Hon. Harry L. Davis in the charter fight, some years ago, when he started for the Kansas City Republican convention, only to land there on the last day of convention (for some unaccountable reason), and this, after promising Mr. Davis to campaign for the charter amendment, is still fresh in the memory of those in this community that Mayor Davis, S. "the unfortunate Triplets" efforts to control our city patronage will hardly tie them much with a mayor so thoroughly familiar with certain persons and things. As a matter of fact, as far as our people are concerned, and especially their leadership in local politics, there is A CRYING NEED, of a house-cleaning, that reaches almost to high heaven. There has been entirely too much political and other racketeering by alleged local leaders of color, in the last five or six years. The NEW DEAL, expected from Mayor Harry L. Davis, Exit "The Blossom Triplets" and their immediate retinues! A. Davis Republic. A "NEGRO" DEMOCRAT Given Damages for Being Denied the Right to Vote by Democratic Election Judges in "The Old Dominion. Newport News, Va.—A decision that L. E. Wilson is entitled to damages from three Hampton city election judges because they denied him the privilege of voting in the August Democratic primary was given, Saturday, by Judge C. Vernon Spratley of E. E. Theuth, C. District Court. The case will be appealed to the State Supreme Court. When it was tried a jury verdict favored the election judges. Today's decision sets aside that verdict. A jury was immediately impounded to assess damages. Wilson sued for $10,000. "The court does hold that when a political party makes use of election machinery of the state," Judge Spratley said, "and holds its primaries under and subject to primary laws and the participation therein, is subject to the general laws of the state. "The party itself cannot in a state-conducted primary deny its privileges to those who subscribe to its principle and tenets, nor can it discriminate in cases of race, color or previous condition of servitude." REBUFFED! Montgomery, Ala.—Declining a request to join them, Thomas E. Knight Jr., state attorney general, told a delegation, last week, from the National Association for the Protection of Political Prisoners that he was "not interested" in their investigation of the Tuscaloosa lynching. The delegation, including nine men and women, called upon the attorney general for cooperation after Gov. B. M. Miller had refused to have a state agent escort them to Tuscaloosa.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1933 The appointment by Mayor Harry L. Davis of Ezra Shapiro as law director of the city was especially timely and satisfactory. Evidently the court judges in Virginia have more respect and regard for law than those in Texas. See Newport News (Va.) letter elsewhere in this paper. Very near one-third of the total Republican vote received by Mayor Harry L. Davis on election day, last week, was given him by our voters. This fact entitles them to representation in the mayor's cabinet. Certainly they should have it, even if George, Budy and Payne, "The Blossom Triplets," do object to it, if other groups (race) of Republicans in this city that are smaller factors of the local Republican party than is ours are given such recognition. --- We salute and congratulate the Hon. Harry L. Davis on his success and triumphant induction, Tuesday of this week, into the office of mayor of Cleveland. He started his fourth term as chief executive of this city with immediate characteristic activity in the interest of his constituents that is not only gratifying but very promising for the future. We now have a mayor who has a real heart interest in every vital concern of this city. He has The Gazette's best wishes. THEY WERE OPPOSED TO DAVIS Before lunch and again late yesterday Davis conferred with Councilmen Herman H. Finkle, Lawrence O. Payne, Leroy N. Bundy and former Councilman Clayborne George, who control the vote in the colored wards. Neither councilmen not mayor would comment on their conference, but it was presumed that it concerned patronage. George seemed to be in line for an assistant law directorship. — Wednesday morning's Plain Dealer. Finkle, Payne, George and Bundy made the two trips to our new mayor, the first to secure the afternoon appointment, and both were not to endorse the "lame-duck" (George) for an appointment. On the 2nd trip to see his honor, they endorsed for a cabinet appointment Atty. Alex. Bernstein, Republican leader in Ward 12 and service director in the cabinet of Mr. Davis when he was mayor, years ago. Our people in Ward 12 of this community have no better friend than Mr. Bernstein, and no one would be more pleased than they, the writer and many others to learn of his appointment to the position by Mayor Harry L. Davis. If he is not so recognized, it can be explained in his endorsement by "The Blossom Triplets," no one of whom supported Mr. Davis' candidacy for mayor before the primary, and after the primary almost until election day. As matter of fact they were most interested in the candidacy for re-election of Mayor Ray T. Miller because Fundy repeatedly said during both campaigns, in discussing the candidates, that he felt "DAVIS COULD NOT WIN." If "The Blossom Triplets," "control the vote" in their wards, Harry L. Davis would never have carried one of them at the primaries. Moreover, the largest "Negro" Democratic organizations were in Wards 11, 17 and 18. Draw your own conclusions. NRA CONSTITUTIONAL? The concensus of opinion upon the part of those statesmen, jurists and others best informed on the subject is that the National Recovery Act (NRA) is unconstitutional and when carried to the U. S. supreme court will be declared so by it. Its only hope, some of them say, rests in its successful operation, and on the ground that the economic depression is akin to the condition created by this country's participation in war. Even then, there are those who say NRA would be unconstitutional but would possibly be tolerated by the U. S. supreme court on the ground of "national necessity" in an effort to overcome general unemployment and other serious and general affects of the depression upon the people and the industries of the country. CLAYBORNE GEORGE As about everybody knows, a "lame-duck" is generally understood to be a candidate who has failed of re-election. While Councilman George was not a candidate for re-election, he was a candidate for a municipal judgeship and failed to be elected. Therefore, the "lame-duck" characterization is not out of place when used in his case at this time. We are not of those who feel that Clayborne George or any other "lame-duck" should be pensioned by the Republican party. Therefore, the effort of the other two "Blossom Triplets" (Councilman Payne and Bundy) to push forward George as a candidate for an appointment at the hands of Mayor Harry L. Davis, claiming that our people of this community demand it, is silly! As a matter of fact, they do not demand or ask anything of the kind for reasons plainly stated elsewhere in this paper (on page 1). Then, too, George has been drawing a salary of $1800 a year for six years, (total, $10,800) as a member of the City Council. That's enough for him for awhile. And what has his former constituents got to show for it? Absolutely NOTHING! Give someone else a chance to "nurse" at the public financial tit for awhile. Bundy and Payne are about to enter upon their third term as members of the City Council at $1800 a year, at least. Their constituents in Wards 11 and 17 have absolutely nothing to show for their long membership in the city's legislative body; nor do they "control the votes in the colored wards," as stated in a local daily paper, Wednesday. Just as a warning only, we would say to Councilman Herman H. Finkle of the 12th ward, whom George, Payne and Bundy tried in vain to oust, several years ago, that the less he has to do with "The Blossom Triplets," the better it will be in the future for all concerned. He, possibly better than anyone else, knows just how far he can trust them politically. The Gazette here and now PROTESTS, not only for itself but also for the great bulk of our people in this city, who refused to vote for Clayborne George as a candidate for municipal judge. Nov. 7, 23, protests vigorously against the pensionsing of that "lame-duck" George by the Republicans of this city, George was not a candidate for re-election to the Council for a fourth term for reasons now perfectly plain in the light of his experience, Nov. 7, 1933. When he broke his pledge to his constituents and our people of this community—a pledge he had to make in order to be re-elected to the City Council, that year,—"to do all in his power to help oust City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and his Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, he forfeited the support of loyal self and race respecting Afro-Americans of this community, and would have been defeated as a candidate for re-election to the Council just as he was defeated on election day for a municipal judgement. Our people of this community want a new deal and look to Mayor Harry L. Davis to give it to them. They demand their freedom from the alleged leadership of "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy). JOE GETS $6,000. On Account of the $12,000 Awarded Him Recently by the Democratic County Commissioners. This is sure a surprise! And Christmas, not even Thanksgiving is here yet. Coming from a Democratic source, immediately following the overwhelming defeat of local Democracy on election day, last week Tuesday, it is almost wonderful even if Joe did buy a good second-hand Lincoln auto Wednesday, from Ex-Safety Director Adams (Dem). Joe Weaver, who several months ago was allowed $12,000 by the county commissioners for false imprisonment for more than two years in the Ohio Penitentiary on "conviction" of killing a night watchman (white), was granted half the amount in scrip, on Wednesday. Attys. Nathan E. Cook from Marsteller who saved Weaver from the death-chair until another man confessed the crime, arranged the payment. Weaver will receive the remaining $6,000 owing him as soon as the county is able to meet commissioners said. Joe bought the big car, he says, primarily to rent it to our local undertakers who have promised him $10 a funeral for its use. Then Joe wants to drive "in state" down to Atlanta, Ga., to see his aged mother whom he visited, a few years ago, after many years' separation. Sincerest congratulations, Joe!

President Roosevelt has signed in Wilberforce University's "Book of a Million Names." Boley, Okla, 28 years old, has 2,200 inhabitants, practically all members of the race. A receiver has been appointed for the Woodmen's Union Life Insurance Co., Little Rock, Ark. Duke Ellington and his band are higher class and Cab Calloway and his band lower class of the kind of "music" they play. Supt. George Gould and assistant, John Denning (Democrats), are in charge of the Wiley Ave. branch postoffice at Center Ave., Pittsburgh. John Crawford, age 89, of Americas, Ga., is dead. In 1919 he sold his farm-holdings for $78,000 and became one of our wealthiest men in Georgia. Kenneth Spencer, age 22, of Los Anleges, Calif., has been a feature over NBC radio broadcasts at San Francisco for a year. He is said to be in the class with Jules Bledsoe and Paul Robeson as a bass singer and was in "Showboat," produced, recently, in San Francisco's Curran theater. Four "widows," three of them present at a hearing before the Illinois industrial commission, this week, are seeking compensation of $3,550 which may be awarded the rightful beneficiary of Clarence Beavers, age 35, who died, Aug. 26, of carbon monoxide poisoning at the Illinois Steel mills in South Chicago. Clark Foreman (white), of Atlanta, ten-generation southerner, stood up before the presidents of "Negro Land-Grant colleges in Chicago," Tuesday at their annual conference, and said it was their duty and the duty of the educated "Negro" generally to organize the masses of their people to "fight for their rights." WHO IS THE FOOL? Cincinnati, O.—Wendell Phillips Dabney of The Union of this city, one of our most outspoken, fearless and loyal editors in the country, re- ceiving most week, in which was the following: "Put this in the headline of your old Union—Any Negro who votes against Frank Hall is a fool, you included. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! To which Editor Dabney replied in the columns of his paper, the Union, as follows: "TO THE PUBLIC: The above letter, no name signed, came Tuesday morning. The only decent thing about the slave of ignorance who sent it is, he was ashamed to sign his name. He calls me a fool! Possibly I am, compared with him sense enough of the fact that I had sense enough of the coach school for several years, have a stint with the largest music firm in America, wrote six books for it, and was for many years assistant paymaster and head paymaster of Cincinnati, PAYING OUT A TOTAL OF ABOUT FIFTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. We know of no Negro in this country who had such position in a big book and editor of The Union, and besides have written two books, one of them the leading libraries of America. It is unfortunate that we send missionaries to Africa, when they are so badly needed here." Hall, our only member of the City Council of this city, serving his second term, was a candidate for reelection on Nov. 7, 33. He has been of little or no use to our people of this city, particularly as a result of his advocacy of crow" and other color-line measures of one kind and another, which account for his recent re-election in this very prejudiced city. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still encamping after over 1900 years of unrestion, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights, by nature without self-respect and not 'guts.'" The world respect only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit 's to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION His Ohio Civil Rights Law.

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 own other northern states. The Kentucky (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.

(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 days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. CULTURE AND ART A representative group of our younger citizens are sponsoring a movement to further cultural and artistic endeavor. To this end, the Fine Arts Studio has been opened at 2098 E. 93d St., which will be the center of their activities. Sundays, April 15 and April 20, 2018, and opening was held at the studio to which Cleveland's art lovers were invited. There was a musicale under the direction of Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson with Luther King, tenor, as soloist, and a number of younger musicians. The art exhibit of paintings and drawings was the work of a young group of artists and was augmented by a group of older musicians. The purpose of this movement is to stimulate and encourage development along cultural and artistic lines, and to sponsor deserving students in the field of fine arts. Subscribe NOW!

THE LYNCH TERROR Has Greatly Increased, This Year- An Invoice Obama—A Call for Help Howard Kester, NASHVILLE, TENN., southern secretary of The New York City.—Terror against the "Negro" people is sweeping the South. In the first three quarters of this year there were 36 lynchings—more than in the entire year of 1925. At Saturday, November 14, the murder had lured 44. The world must be mobilized against this terror, of which the recent Pippen and Harden lynchings in Tuscaloosa and the murder of George Armwood in Princess Anne, Md., are incidents. The first stab in this mobilization is publicity. The same overwhelming focussing of public opinion stands in the way of the legal murder of the nine Scottsboro boys.

OHIO BELL CITES THREE CAUSES FOR NUMBER CHANGES OHIO BELL CITES THREE CAUSES FOR NUMBER CHANGES Growth and Efficiency of Tele phone System Require New Numbers Most telephone numbers are change for one of three reasons, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Either the subscriber has change his address, ordered a change in the type of his service, or growth of the telephone system necessitated a shift in his line at the telephone exchange due to plant expansion or rearrangement. In cities with more than one telephone exchange, each exchange car serve subscribers only within a certain area, the officials explain. If a subscriber moves out of one exchange district into another he naturally must have a different telephone number in the new district. Most Changes on Party Line But in case of a change of address within the same exchange district, a change in number is usually necessary only for party line subscribers. On manually operated party lines, the line number is shared by all subscribers on the line, and if one of them moves to an area served by another line, the old line cannot be assigned to him. The second reason for changing telephone numbers is due to a change in type of service. If a subscriber has a two-party line, for example, and desires to change to individual line service, it is then necessary to assign him a line for his exclusive use and this of course necessitates a new number. Changes made for Efficiency Additions to and rearrangements of telephone plant and equipment, made necessary by normal growth of the service, are also responsible for numbering the telephone. The ability to new exchanges, the change from manual to dial operation, regrouping of lines so they may be more efficiently utilized, and the providing of additional facilities for some telephone users all contribute to better and more convenient service, but such plant rearrangements mean a consequent change in telephone numbers. Changing telephone numbers always means added effort and expense for the telephone company, so that a subscriber's number is never changed without a good reason, usually one of the three mentioned. CALLS COMPLETED IN FIVE LANGUAGES As many as five different languages may be spoken in completing connections for a transoceanic telephone call. A subscriber of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in calling Roumania, for instance, would bring into use three languages. The call in English would go via New York and London; London would pass the call along to Budapest in German; and the operator in Budapest would connect with the person called in Roumanian. Calls to more remote countries would be relayed similarly, but would require a greater number of different languages for completion. Ten different languages are represented at the telephone switchboards of the world: Spanish, German, French, Swedish, Polish, Italian, Lithuanian, Finnish, Flemish and Magyar.

Elsa Schaparelli, with both eyes wide open, boasts of the black sheep in her family. But in this instance, reference is not made to the pages which should be torn out of the album, but rather to the rough and flecked tweed textures used in her new collection. Cardigans in brilliant homespuns and "Black-sheep" are accepted favorites at this house, and tweed toopcats get away from the amateurish with amazingly daring flannel linings. Lines of Shoulder Given Emphasis in Fall Styles Since both the position of the waistline and the skirt length, which heretofore were leading fashion points of the silhouette, seem to have been practically stabilized, the whole attention has become centered upon the shoulders. Many leading dressmakers seem to agree upon emphasized shoulder lines, and from their latest creations we can foresee that this tendency will not only last this fall, but may be even increased. FLASHES FROM PARIS Silks and wools reveal a glint of metal threads, Wine, prune and purplish shades are emphasized. Metal and strass accents formalize tiny dinner hats. Lace of spider-web delicacy fashions high-style dinner gowns. Evening shoes twinkle with mirror-glass and crystal ornamentation. Waist-depth boleros and capes of white ermine are frequent among new evening wraps. Borderings of artificial flowers outline hemilines in the same manner as pleated ruchings. CONTRASTING FUR By CHERIE NICHOLAS There is a 'tendency this season, to work along the theory that two furs are better than one. A successful outcome of this line of thought is presented in the illustration. This stunning, double-breasted waistcoat of leopard worn with a straight coat of nutria in three-quarter length will brighten up the fashion parade during the coming months. The two-kind fur idea is also developed in other interesting ways. For instance a brown and beige ensemble is trimmed with borderings of fox in two colors—a row of dark cinnamon fox and a row of very pale beige fox. Also whiteermine trims white galyak or perhaps dark seal and so on and so on the story is repeated. FASHION FULL OF CLEVER SURPRISES Things Are Not What They Seem Nowadays. Gold has gone a-wool gathering. There is scarcely a new wool fabric now on the market that isn't just all warped and woofed up with gold threads running in all directions. Chanel fabrics are full of 'em and are they swank? You can tell me! Pockets are not just things to put things in any more. De Morinis, the American contuerier who came to Paris and made a big splash, has made a pocket be a muff—and like it, too. The erstwhile pocket is stitched on at top and bottom instead of around three sides, applied to the front of a coat and in the cold fingers go to hide from winter's icy gale! He puts them on jackets, too, and makes them out of fabric as well as fur. In fact, nothing is like it was. It looks like what was, but if it actually is, then it's a failure, for the idea back of lots of modern novelties is the "I'm-not what you-think-I-am" motif. That's what makes modern clothes and things so much fun—springing surprises on us at every turn and twist of the material. Tweeds Much in Evidence from Mikhail F. For Milady's Fall Suits Tweeds are very much in evidence this season, also angora 'woolens with stripes or waved surfaces. There are checks, facone and nattes woolens, hairy woolens, lame woolen, velvet woolens with facones and ribed effects, tricots in handmade wool and rayon Albene, velvents with printed stripes, rayon panne Paysan and ribed jerseys on diagonals. For evening wear panne Sauvage, lame, lame velvet, duvetyne and ottoman are shown. STYLE NOTES Old-gold jewelry is in fashion. Much bronze green is featured. There is a wide call for ribbed velvet. Fur-trimmed sheer crepe frocks are smart for afternoon. Accessory fur ensembles of infinite variety will be worn. Evening dresses are made to emphasize the elongated silhouette. Taffeta With Organdie Used for Gowns, Gloves Taffeta takes the cake for afternoon smartness. Trimmed up with organdie it is as brisk and crisp as a fresh breeze. All the big houses are advocating it and complete their ensembles with a pair of taffeta gloves trimmed with lavish cuffs (amounting to sleeves in some extremes) of organdie. The favored colors are navy blue and brown with a bit of that dull olive green which Paton is promoting this year. Next to solid colors there are gay taffetas in bright plaids, and for a place of distinction in this place we name "Chouky," a Worth concept in a large black and white plaid taffeta built on tunic lines. For its trimming it has a black velvet bow and black velvet buttons down the front. 1 There's no getting around it, one simply must own a tunic frock or more this season. It is not only that the separate tunic made of some rich lame, lace or perhaps plaid velvet is functioning for formal wear but many of the best styled street dresses are made with a tunic. The model pictured is of black faille with gilt buttons (gold touches on black are a "last word" in chic). The belt of black and red antelope is studded with gilt nailheads. Which is really what we started out to tell you about—the vogue for handsome decorative belts which necessarily goes hand-in-hand with the tunic craze which is now on, for of course a tunic must be attractively belted. With the voguish metal cloth tunic worn over a skirt of black velvet, a belt studded with rhinestones will prove wonderfully effective in the evening. NEWEST HATS SIT ON BACK OF HEAD Off-the-Face Movement Gaining Ground. Just when the order of the day for hats appeared to be irrevocably down in front, along comes a perverse breeze of fashion and blows them back again. Just now, some of the newest hats are worn teetering on the back of the head in the manner of the dear, dead flapper days, when it was considered as much of a crime to cover your forehead as it was to uncover your ears. The off-the-face movement is gaining ground, though there are still plenty of the perky berets and brimmed felts that are worn pulled smartly down over the right eye. Most of the new off-the-face hats have brim arrangements that turn back, revealing your alabaster brow. A nice one is of goldenen yellow velvet felt, turned up in front in a soft, Dutch cap manner, with a tailored bow of navy grosgrain ribbon on top. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. Polish Polish Corridor A child eating from a bowl. A Youthful Pole at Lunch. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.-WNU Service. POLAND, youthful European republic, with its famous Corridor holding the tipelight, has been considered in the light of a vanished past or a problematical future rather than of a vital and engrossing present. Before world economic conditions clouded the issue Poland made substantial strides materializing the air castles its people had cherished for many decades. On war-wasted territory stretching over the ancient forest area from marshland to mountains, Poland brought agriculture back beyond prewar levels. Factories which it found destroyed or idle were rehabilitated. Railway mileage was increased and a uniform gauge adopted, so that rails bound Poland together instead of tearing it apart. President Wilson championed Poland's aspiration for independence, and the United States government loaned funds for the purchase of food, clothing, and supplies which were essential in the early stages of national rehabilitation. More densely populated than Pennsylvania, Poland is still an agricultural nation, and the consequent elasticity of its labor supply, the economic independence of its peasants, and the modesty of their needs give it social stability in spite of the rapid growth of urban and industrial life. "Without the sea and the seacoast there is no Poland," has proved a potent slogan. During the summer of 1832 at Gdynia, a city of more than 30,000, so new as to be shown only on the most recent maps, Poland celebrated its first "sea festival" near where General Halie, after fighting his way to the Battle, dropped a ring in its waters to celebrate the union of land and sea. Where a few years ago one waded in deep sand, dodging wind-shaken, weblike nets and upended舟艏s converted into shelters, or watching women bury potatoes in straw-lined sand pits for the winter, there are city streets and five-story buildings, Gdynia, with a port that can accommodate 50 vessels at a time, now handles more than 5,000,000 tons of exports and imports in a single year. Near-by Danzig, eight times as populous and one of the great ports of the Hanseatic league—which in its golden day virtually controlled the trade routes of northern Europe—far from being wiped out through this new rivalry, now handles 8,000,000 tons, four times the pre-war tonnage, and the largest traffic in its history. Among Baltic and North sea ports, Danzig's tonnage is exceeded only by that of Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The Vistula river system drains most of Poland, and Vistula-bound traffic passes to or through Danzig before reaching the sea. Gdynia Its Naval Base. But it is Gdynia which gives significance to the "Polish Corridor" forestshadowed in the thirteenth of President Wilson's famous Fourteen Points, And the new railway from Upper Silesia to the Baltic, avoiding the free city of Danzig, assures Poland's economic freedom. France has co-operated in financing the railway, and Swiss financiers extended a loan of $2,500,000 to the city of Gdynia. A Polish naval base on Polish soil could have been foreseen, but politicians fourteen years ago never dreamed of Gdynia. Now there it is, one of the best-equipped ports on the Baltic, and Polish emigrants to North America embark there, direct from Polish soil, instead of at other European ports which their predecessors once helped make prosperous. Five eighths of all Polish trade, moving through the ports of Danzig and Gdynia, creates a north and south traffic in the Polish Corridor seven times as heavy as the east and west commerce, although much trade between Germany and Soviet Russia is diverted across the corridor and through East Prussia and Lithuania, away from the heart of Poland. Recently iron ore and cotton for Czechoslovakia entered through Gdynia, thus providing return loads for coal cars from the south. One ship from New Orleans unloaded 7,350 bales of American cotton in a single day. Naturally, the Poles hold the Polish Corridor to be essential to their very existence. The builder of the new ay Your C or an Acq Corridor port was cheered loud and long during his address at last summer's sea festival when he said: "Our ancestors did not come to this Polish shore either as guests or immigrants; they did not here establish themselves by the grace or through the protection of anyone; here we stand on our own soil, rooted in our own past, oftimes heroic and victorious, sometimes cruel and bitter. Here we will remain and achieve our destiny." Sheltered from Baltic storms by the sand spit of Hel, Gdynia, although an artificial port, is well protected and capable of almost unlimited expansion. A school for the merchant marine, a huge modern post office, through which all possible foreign mail is routed, and the shipping offices connected with Poland's growing fleet are prominent along the shore. Modern machinery is used in transshipping the exports, principally coal, lumber, zinc, bacon, eggs, sugar and butter, and the imports of foodstuffs, cotton, metals, and machines. To the photographer the Gdynia of today is less picturesque than the barren, breezy beach dotted with Kushine fisher folk, and the real treat for eye and lens is Lowicz, color capital of peasant Poland. No lens hunter was ever tempted by finer promises of photographic game than in Lowicz. To be chosen from the ever moving ranks of women in spotless kchelches, rainbow skirts billowing wide over heavy petioles and high-leaved boots might be an honor, however awkwardly phrased by the eager photographer, but to accept the invitation would be to subject oneself to the jollying which familiar friends can make most embarrassing in the presence of strangers. There is no lack of cordiality on Sunday as the bright parade leaves the abbey church. The broad-faced women of the fields gaily smile into the lens so long as they can keep moving and hence not reveal any individual vanity concerning their unquestioned attraction. Beautified by splendid parks and gardens, furnished with wide avenues and broken by large squares, across which the massive piles of Warsawsw (Warsaw) rise in solemn dignity, the Polish capital always seems a dull background for the irrepressible Polish spirit; yet one can still say, as did Napoleon, "Warsaw is always amusing." Never does one forget the quick cadences and exotic musical intervals of a gypsy band in a gay restaurant not far from Theater square, but even the most agile measures seem to lag behind the spirited conversation and joyous repatriate which enlivens Warsaw's restaurants. The aristocratic country life, reminding one of plantation days in our own South, is now rare, but stolid Warsaw is still enlivened by the personal charm of the cultured Pole. Until one has seen the Polish theater he does not realize the variety and beauty of the modern stage. Poland's romantic poets and dramatists of eight years ago, such as Adam Mickiewicz, Zygmunt Krasinski, and Juljusz Slowacki, either wrote in exile or were subject to a stifling censorship. Interest in America. True, to the Poles themselves even strictly censored dramas were packed with thrills, for behind innocuous allegories they sensed the rebellion of the Polish spirit against oppression. But with the coming of freedom Polish drama developed a catholicity of interest and dramatic method unsurpassed in modern Europe. "Street Scene," "Broadway," and "Anna Christie" have all been admirably presented in Poland, and there is a keen interest in all things American. Partly this is due to the presence of many Poles in America, but much of it dates back to the days of our Revolution, in which the Poles took a keen interest and in some cases a personal part. Today one can telephone to Poland from any city in the United States, but in the days of the Thirteen Colonies the American Revolution was physically far away and England ruled the seas. Poland not only observed the Washington Bicentennial in Poland, but also on May 3. Polish national holiday and anniversary of the premature Constitution of 1791, praised by Edmund Burke, Poland issued a 30-grozo stamp picturing Washington in the center between Kosciuszko and Pulaski. copy of The maintenance w SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1933 Lowicz Is Colorful.

For months. The case has tried to impress the fact upon those most interested in that part of this law; also, that there is law enacted last winter by the Ohio Legislature, that gives the housing companies the right of "eminent domain" which empowers them to force the sale of property they desire at figures set by the courts.

Carter, president of Cleveland Homes, Inc., expressed the opinion at the session that $0 or $8 a month per room would provide only the bare necessities. "If times don't get better, neither Cleveland Homes, Inc., nor Housing Authority will be able to make housing pay," he said. He favored rehabilitation of homes that could be repaired in the slum clearance region. Abram Garfield, chairman of the city plan commission, suggested the west of Cleveland, County, west of 22d St. to provide further housing. He said more commercial frontage exists at that point than the city can use to advantage at present. The report was prepared by the Cleveland committee on the sound aspect of housing after a year's study in the Central Ave.-E. 38th St. region. It was presented by Dr. William W. Biddle, former professor of sociology, R. W. and A. Morris, former attorney and chairman, report recommended multiple family dwellings, private entrances, streets in the rear of the homes and plenty of park and playground space. Population of Cleveland's revamped slum areas need not necessarily be the population now in the area, but a considerable proportion of the present families may find homes on land farther out where they can raise part of their living. This plan now being studied by Cleveland Homes, Inc., was revealed, late last week, before the National worse proscription, every day, both in the North and in the South. That resolution, consequently, should not be a dead letter. Let the national office (of the N. A. A. C. P.) take it out of the files and do something with it, either by appealing to the league or by compiling a book on the American terror comparable to the brown book on the Hitler terror. The latter book has already resulted in mitigation for the plight of the Jews in Germany. Similar to the situation in Germany, Negroes should produce some wholesome reactions. While the N. A. A. C. P. is drafting another anti-lynching bill for consideration of Congress, the Dyer bill has never been passed.

McCormack did not locate the farther-out land but it is known the corporation is considering a large tract in the Miles Heights section of Cleveland where there already is a colored population. He said, however, that land could be had at a cent and a half a square foot as compared with around 70 cents in the city. The plan would be to throw several lots together, providing each family with three-fourths of an acre. The effort would be to provide housing in such areas as low as $1,200 a unit and in the present slum sections as low as $2,500.-Jas. G. Monnett, Jr. "Uncle Sam's Corporation to Handle Housing, Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The federal government today formed a housing corporation to provide low cost (not lowest cost) dwellings and to clear away slums in cities where such work otherwise would not be undertaken. The Public Works Emergency Housing Corp., owned entirely by the federal government, was incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Articles of incorporation as approved by the secretary Harold L. Ickes, provide that it may construct, construct, alter and repair low cost (not lowest cost) housing or slum clearance projects, including houses, homes and structures "of every nature and kind." If unable to acquire land by private contract, the corporation will have the right of eminent domain, which means that as a governmental agency it may make improvements to the public works administration, which will furnish the several hundred million dollars required for the projects, declared tonight that it will "not interfere with or enter into competition against legitimate private businesses," but will supplement them "in a field of vital social importance." Secretary of Interior Ickes, public works administration, said in a statement that all which have never before been attained, but that the "housing thus provided will not be competitive with existing housing of good character." pass Congress, surely not during the Roosevelt administration, unless the entire world is aroused. It is my firm belief, as the retiring president of the Cleveland N. A. A. C. P. branch, with ten full years of activity in the organization that he founded, estimates the seriousness of the Negro's plight, and believes it can use the methods of twenty years ago to meet new situations. It has in its office enough data to make the account of the Hitler atrocities resemble the record of a women's peace society, let the word know the Negro's need, and tell the details in full. Otherwise the N. A. A. C. P. will fail in its duty to the race. D. H. Pierce.
