OH Boy! Is he glad that phone's back! Now he's ready to call another young scientist or architect on some important question of electrical research-or shack building.
When a big job of drying dishes for mother makes it necessary to postpone an engagement with a pal, he does it by phone. If he's forgotten a lesson assignment, he can call a schoolmate and find out about it.
This young man is just as serious about his present affairs as he will be about business later on. That phone is a big help to him as it will be to you. Why not order yours back in?

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."

republican rooms, last February,

belief were Councilman Lawrence

judge was forecast in these columns,

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.

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

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 "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!

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.

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 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.

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 exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution 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 the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing.

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 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.)

(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.

THE LYNCH TERROR
Has Greatly Increased, This Year-
An Invoice Obama—A
Call for Help
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
Growth and Efficiency of Tele
phone System Require
New Numbers
Most telephone numbers are change:
for one of three reasons, according t
officials of The Ohio Bell Telephon
Company.
Either the subscriber has change
his address, ordered a change in thy
type of his service, or growth of the
telephone system necessitated a. shif
in his line at the telephone exchange
due to plant expansion or rearrange
ment.
In cities with more than one tele
phone exchange, each exchange cat
serve subscribers only within a certait
area, the officials explain. If a sub:
seriber moves out of one exchange
district into another he naturally must
have a different telephone number ar
the new district.
Most Changes on Party Line
But in case of a change of address
within the same exchange district, a
change in oumber is usually necessary
‘only for party line subscribers. On
manually operated party lines, the
line number is shared by all subscrib-
ers on the line, and if one of them
moves to an area served by another
Tine, the old fine cannot be assigned
to him,
‘The second reason for changing tele-
phone numbers is due to a change in
type of service. If a subscriber has
‘a two-party line, for example. and de-
sires to change to individual line serv-
ice, it is then necessary to assign him
a tine 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 num-
ber changes. The establishment of
new exchanges, the change from man-
ual to dial operation, regrouping of
lines so they may be more efficiently
utilized, and the providing of addi-
tional facilities for some telephone
‘users all contribute to better and more
convenient service, but such plant re-
arrangements mean a consequent
change in telephone numbers.
Changing telephone numbers al-
‘ways 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.
As many as five different languages
may be spoken in completing con-
nections for a transoceanic telephone
call
‘A subscriber of The Ohio Bell Tele~
phone 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 opera-
tor im 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 fepre-
sented at the telephone switchboards
of the world: Spanish, German,
French, Swedish, Polish, Italian,
Lithuanian, Finnish, Flemish and
‘Magyar.

‘There is a tendency this season, to
work along the theory that two furs
are better than one. A successful out-
come of this line of thought is pre-
sented in the Illustration, ‘This stun-
hing doublebreasted waistcoat of
Teopafd worn with a straight coat of
utria in three-quarter tenth wil
brighten up the fashion parade during
the coming months. The two-kind fur
idea is also developed in other Inter-
esting ways. For instance a brown
fand beige ensemble ts trimmed with
borderings of fox in two colors—a
Tow of dark cinnamon fox and a row
of very pale beige fox. Also white er
ming 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
ace Nivadays.
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
Ameriean couturier 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 1s like it was. Tt
looks like what was, but if It actually
fs, then it's # 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
80 much fun—springing surprises on
‘us at every turn and twist of the ma-
‘terial.
Tweeds Much in Evidence
for Milady’s Fall Suits
‘Tweeds are very much in evidence
this season, also angora \'oolens with
stripes or waved surfaces. ‘There are
checks, faconne and nates woolens,
hairy woolens, lame woolen, velvet
woolens with faconnes and ribbed ef-
fects; tricots In handmade wool and
rayon Albene, velvets with printed

ribbed Jerseys on diagonals. For eve-
ning 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
velvets,
Furtrimmed sheer erepe frocks
are smart for afternoon,
Accessory fur ensembles of In-
nite variety will be worn,
Butterscotch Is a popular sports
color as is also bright rust,
Evening dresses are made to em-
phasize the elongated sithouette.
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 advo-
cating it and complete their ensem-
bles with a pair of taffeta gloves
trimmed with lavish cuffs (amounting
to sleeves in some extremes) of or-
gandie. The favored colors are navy
blue and brown with a bit of that dull
olive green which Patou 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 conception
ina large black and white plaid taffeta
built on tunie lines. For its trimming
it has a black velvet bow and black
velvet buttons down the front.
TUNICS AND BELTS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS:
‘There's no getting around it, one sim-
ply must own a tunie frock or more
this season, It Is not only that the
separate tunic made of some rich lame,
lace or perhaps plaid velvet is func-
tioning 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 ante-
lope is studded with gilt naitheads.
Which is really what we started out to
tell you about—the vogue for hand-
some decorative belts which neces-
sarily goes hand-in-hand with the tunic
eraze which Is now on, for of course
a tunic must be attractively belted.
With the voguish metal cloth tunics
worn over a skirt of Diack velvet, a
belt studded with rhinestones will
prove wonderfully effective in the eve-
ning.
NEWEST HATS SIT
ON BACK OF HEAD
Off-the-Face Movement Gain-
ing 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
fare worn teetering on the back of
the head in the manner of the dear,
dead flapper days, when it was consid-
ered as much of a crime to cover your
forehead as it was to uncover your
ears,
‘The off-the-face movement is galning
ground, though there are still plenty
of the perky berets and brimmed felts
that are worn pulled smartly down
over the right eye.
“AMost of the new offtheface hats
have brim arrangements that turn
back, revealing your alabaster brow.
A nice one is of goldenrod yellow vel-
vet felt, turned up in front in a soft,
Dutch cap manner, with a tailored bow
of navy grosgrain ribbon on top.

OLAND, youthful European re-
public, with its famous Corridor
holding the tpelizht, has been
considered in the light of a van-
ished past or a problematical future
rather than of a vital and engrossing
present.
Before world economie conditions
clouded the issue Poland made sub-
stantial strides materializing the alt
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 pre:
war levels. Factories which it found
destroyed or {dle were rehabilitated.
Railway mileage was inerensed and a
uniform ganze adopted, so that rails
bound Poland together instead of tear-
{ng it apart.
President Wilson championed Po
land's aspiration for independence, and
the United States zovernment loaned
funds for the purchase of food, cloth
ing, and supplies which were essen
tal In the early stazes of national re
habilitation.
More densely populated than Penn.
‘sylvania, Poland Is still an nzrictt
tural nation, and the consequent elas
tlelty of its labor supply, the economic
independence of Its peasants, and the
modesty of their needs give It social
stability in spite of the rapla growth
‘of urban and industrial life.
| “Without the sea and the seacoast
there is no Polind," has proved a
potent slogan, During the summer
of 1982 at Gdynia, a city of more than

where General Mallee, after fightin
his way to the Baltic, dropped ring

weblike nets and upended boathalves

sand pits for the winter, there are city
streets and five-story buildings. Gdynia,
with a port that ean accommodate 50
vessels at a time, now handies more
than 5,000,000 tons of exports and im:
ports in a single year.
Near-by Danzig, eight times as pop-
lous and once one of the great ports
of the Hanseatic league—which in its
golden day virtually controlled the
trade routes of northern Enrope—far
from being wiped ont through this new
rivalry, now handles 8,000,000 tons,
four times the pre-war tonnage, and
the largest traflicin Its history. Among
Baltle and North sea ports, Danzig's
tonnage 1s excceded only by that of
Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhagen and
Stockholm, rhe Vistula river system

bound traffic passes to or through Dan-

But it 1s Gdynia which gives siz-
nificance to the “Polish Corridor” fore-
shadowed in the thirteenth of Presi-
dent Wilson's famous Fourteen Points,
‘And the new railway from Upper
Silesia to the Baltic, avoiding the free
city of Danzig, assures Poland's eco-

France has co-operated tn financing
the railway, and Swiss financiers ex-
tended a loan of $2,500,000 to the city
of Gdynia,
A Polish naval base on Polish soil
could have been foreseen, but politi-
clans fourteen years ago never dreamed
of Gdynia, Now there it is, one of
the best-equipped ports on the Baitic,

soll, instead of ‘at other European
ports which their predecessors once
helped make prosperous,
Fiveeighths of all Polish trade, mov-
ing 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 be-
tween Germany and Soviet Russia is
diverted across the corridor and
through Fast Prussia and Lithuania,
away from the heart of Poland.

Czechoslovakia entered through Gdynia,

In all the talk of housing in

preparation has been made to take

which include the poor “Negroes.”

district. For months ‘The Gazette
has tried to impress this fact upon
those most interested in that part of
this community; also, that there Is
now a law, enacted last winter by
the Ohio Legislature, that gives the
housing companies ' the right of
“eminent domain" which empowers
thom to force the sale of property
they desire at figures set by the
courts. Read carefully the follow-
ing and think:
Low-cost housing is possible to-
day, but “lowest-cost” housing, to
meet the needs of lowest income
groups (poor “Negroes,” Jews, Ital-
ians, et al) is not in sight. This was
the conclusion in which the major-
ity appeared to concur at the first
National Conference on Low Cost
Housing which had a three-day ses-
sion the past week at the Building
Arts Exhibit.—Jas. G. Monnett, Jr.
in Sunday's Plain Dealer.
Housing can be constructed in
Cleveland to rent for $4 4 month per
room and it should be constructed
primarily for welfare—to clean up
disease and crime areas. This was
contained in an elaborate 30-page
report read, Monday, at a meeting
of the Cleveland Housing Authority
and officers of Cloveland Homes,

Inc. Leyton E. Carter, president of
Cleveland Homes, Inc., expressed the
opinion at the session’ that $6 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 ety plan
commission, suggested change in
zoning of Central Ave. west of E.
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 re-
port was prepared by the Clevelund
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 sociol-
ogy, W. R. U., and I. R. Morris,
Cleveland attorney, co-chairmen. The
report recommended multiple family
dwellings, private entrances, streets
in the rear of the homes ani plenty
of park and playground space.
Population of Cleveland's _re-
vamped slum areas need not neces-
sarily 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

That resolution, consequently, should
not be a dead’ letter. Let the na-
Uonal office (of the N. A. A. C. P.)
take it out of the files and do some-
thing 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 ter-
ror. The latter book has already
resulted in mitigation for the plight
of the Jews in Germany. Similar
action on the part of the American
Negroes should produce some whole-
some reactions. While the N. A. A.

“Uncle Sam's Corporation to
Handio Housing:
Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The
federal government today formed @
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 incorpora-
tion, as approved by Secretary Har-
old 'L. Ickes, provide that it may
“construct, reconstruct, alter and Te-
pair” low cost (not lowest cost)
housing or slum clearance projects,
including houses, homes and struc;
tures “of every najure and kind.”
If unable to acquire land by private
contract, the corporation will havo
the right of eminent domain, which
means that as a governmental agen-
cy it may force owners to sell it
property. The public works admin-
istration, which will furnish the sev-
eral hundred million dollars re-
quired for the projects, declared to-
night 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 ad-
ministrator, said the scheme should
produce housing “at rentals which
have never before been attained,’
but that the “housing thus provid-
ed will not be competitive with ex-
isting housing of good character.”

Roosevelt administration, unless the
efitire world is aroused.
It is my firm belief, as the retir-
ing president of the Cleveland N. A.
A.C. P. branch, with ten full years
of activity in the organization, that
the national office constantly under-
estimates the seriousness of the Ne-
uro's plight, and believes it can use
the methods of twenty years ago t
meet new situations. It has in its
office enough data to make the ac-
count of the Hitler atrocities resem-
ble the record of a women's peace
society, Let the world know the Ne-
gro’s plight, and let the world know
the details’ in full. Otherwise the
N. AL ALC. P. will fail in its duty to
the race.
