HE DENOUNCES LYNCH-MURDER President Roosevelt Finally Forced to Speak-Something Must Be Conducted Washington, D. C.—In his country-wide broadcast, Wednesday night, President Roosevelt denounced lynch-murder in the following language: "This younger generation is not satisfied with the exposure of those in high places who seek to line their own nests with other people's money, to beat their government of its just due or to break the spirit of the law while observing its legalistic letter. This new generation seeks action—action by collective government and by individual education, toward the end of the century. "This new generation, for example, is not content with preachings against that vile form of collective murder — lynch law — which has broken out in our midst anew. We know that it is murder, and a deliberate and definite disobedience of the commandment Thou shalt not do what do not excuse those in high places or in low who condene lynch law. "But a thinking America goes further. It seeks a government of its own that will be sufficiently strong to protect the prisoner and at the same time to crystalize a public opinion so clear that government of all kinds will be compelled to practice a more certain justice. The judicial function of government is the protection of the individual and does the community through quick and certain action. The fact that many places has fallen into a state of disrepair. It must be a part of our program to re-establish it." HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING As the wee sma hours of Thanksgiving were being celebrated, last Wednesday about midnight, rumor has it that Charlie White, recently appointed an assistant law director, and Normel Salby Minor, an assistant county prosecutor, got into a heated argument in the "Furnace" (cabaret) at the Hotel Majestie which resulted in incest relationships of others had to interfere with in order to prevent more or less serious consequences. How about it? The Rounder hears that a number of "The Blossom Triplets"' supporters are claiming all the jobs in the Outwhaite-Portland Center, as well as a book of support of ordinary Finkle. The center is in the 12th Ward. Naturally our voters there feel that they should have all the positions and jobs there. Therefore, a battle for those "political crumbs" seems imminent. Mayor Harry L. Davis announced that he and not the ward leaders would fill the positions and jobs. What many are unable to understand is how it is that "The Blossom Triplets" is doing this very thing and securing them for persons who were not strong in the support of his candidacy, many of whom going so far as to oppose it prior to the primary election and some even after it. George, Payne and Bunny turned their backs on their own people and went to the support of a member of another group for a place in Mayor or Harry L. Davis' cabinet. What do you think of that? Not satisfied with their support of Color-Line president S. Blossom many months ago. "The Blossom Triplets" now turn against their own people who are entitled to two places in the mayor's cabinet instead of one because they are one-third of the local Republican party and there are seven members of the cabinet. One-third of seven is more than one-third of the number made such a poor showing running for municipal judge at the recent primary. THE NORRIS FARCE-TRIAL Of the Scottborsh Cases Over—Ruby Bates' Taste Finally Admitted. Decatur, Ala.—A second all-white jury got the case of Clarence Norris, second of the Scottsboro boys to be re-tried, late Monday afternoon. The second day of Norris' trial was again marked by the same tactics of Judge W. W. Calhahan and attorney Nathan W. Calhahan in cutting short all questioning of state witnesses by the defense, and limiting the defense evidence presented to prevent the bringing out of vital facts in the case. The defense, however, succeeded in forcing into the record the deposition of Ruby Bates, southern white girl who for the second time repudiated her original charges. The charges boys, and flatly contradicted the charges made by Victoria Price and Attorney-General Knight's new "find," Orville Gilley. Norris "Convicted!" Decatur, Ala.—Trials of the remaining Scottsboro boys were postponed indefinitely, Tuesday, by Judge Callahan. Clarence Norris was "convicted," Wednesday, and sentenced to die, Feb. 2, "34. Atty. Leibowitz announced that the Patterson and Norris cases will be taken to the U. S. Supreme Court. DEMAND ROLPH QUIT AS GOVERNOR University of California Group Urges People to Insist on His Resi- gnation—Hoover Joins Them. Berkeley, Cal.—A call to the people of California to "demand" the designation of Gov. James Rolph, Ir., for condoning the lynching of Thomas H. Thurston and John M. Holmes H. Thurston slayers, was issued, Dec. 1. '33, by a group of University of California professors and civic leaders. "California stands disgraced by its governor, a self-proclaimed party to lynch law," said the statement issued by the group. Continuing, it says: "It can wipe out the blot upon its fair name only by disclaiming the governor's voice as the voice of the people. At the time he was betraying his trust, another governor on the Atlantic Coast, was backing a bill that will allow his great office—sending out the state troops to bring the lynchers to justice, after minor officials had refused to do their duty. The governor of Maryland wins the praise of a nation; the citizens of his state are proud of him. The only way the people of California can put themselves in favorable light is, of course, to repudiate their governor." Ex-President Hoover Protests. Bishops, university presidents, bishops ministers and rabbis signed the following statement with Mr. Hoover: "The undersigned, citizens of California, concerned for its good repute and the stability of government by law, wish publicly to deplore the recent lynchings at San Jose and the landation of the deed by our chief executive. "The verv spirit of government has been violated and the state has been disgraced in the eyes of the world by the abusive and subversive lust for vengeance. A horrible crime had been committed which deeply moved every citizen, but lynching is unjustifiable and subversive of all government. It was mob violence, marked by the most degraded brutality. "The mob could have been restrained if assistance had been given to the local officers. Unrestrained, the lowest passions were unleashed, to leave their degrading mark on every participant and to bring humiliation to an audience and law-abiding community, a humiliation and shame which the whole state must share. "This humiliation and shame is intensified by the landation of the mob and its acts. More than this, such landation, particularly when coming from the chief executive of the state, undermines the very foundations upon which the state and all civilized society is built, respect and reverence in the minds of the citizenry for law, order and justice. "We are confident that the great majority of the citizens of San Jose and of this state, moved they be by the horror at the crime of the kidnapers and murderers, yet do not condone or approve their execution by mob violence. We would have the world believe this." Rolph Denounced! New York City.—A mass meeting of Protestants, Catholics, Jews and Afro-Americans adopted a series of resolutions. Sunday, condemning mob-violence. They denounced "the recent lynchings and the laudation thereof by Gov. Rolph of California," urged Govs. Ritchie of Maryland and Park of Missouri to condemn the lynchers and called for a trial of the Scottsboro defendants. Theological students picked the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Rest, Sunday morning, in protest to an indorsement by its pastor, Dr. Henry Darlington, of Gov. Rolph's condoning of the San Jose (Cal.) lynchings. The picketing resulted in three arrests. St. Joseph, Mo.—With two men in custody, officers, Sunday, were investigating "tips" which they said may lead to additional arrests of men as sought as possible leaders of the mob that lynched Lloyd Warner, age 19, here, last week Tuesday. San Jose, Cal.—In St. James' Park here, where Jack Holmes and Harold Thurmond, confessed kidnappers of Brooke Hart, were lynched, a crowd of several hundred persons, Sunday, heard speakers protest mob-violence and statements of Gov. James Rolph, Jr., upholding the lynch-murders. Ritchie "Passes the Buck." Baltimore, Md.—Gov. Ritchie announced, Monday, that the executive and state law departments "would take no further steps to bring to trial the lynchers of George Armwood." The case has now been placed in the hands of three judges of the first judicial district, in Somerset County, where the lynching o' Armwood took place. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PONED!

New York City.—From her hospital bed where she lies convalescing after a major operation, Ruby Bates, important Scottsboro defense witness who was unable because of her illness to appear in the Decatur court, and whose deposition Judge Callahan refused to wait for the court to receive, has written Attorney-General Knight and Judge Callahan, repeating her statement that Ruby's letter, written the day after she went through the dangerous and grueling ordeal of questions and answers for five hours to make her deposition of testimony in defense of the Scottsboro boys, follows: "I hope the statement that I made, yesterday, is clear enough, for the court. If I had been in better condition I could have made the statement much better. Mr. Knight and Judge, in this statement I did not tell every little thing that happened during this trip because it would have been a very physical condition would not allow the statement. Mr. Knight, I am a southern girl, and I would say if these boys had committed this crime of which ```markdown ``` Decatur, Ala. Dec. 1—A lily-white jury brought in a verdict of death in the electric chair, for Heywood Patterson, at 5:12 tonight. Judge W. W. Callahan, who conducted the trial as an open provocation to lynch violence, announced he would probably pronounce sentence tomorrow. Samuel S. Leibowitz, I. L. D. counsel, noted an appeal and asked for a month after preparation of the recorder to make a motion to set aside the verdict. As the verdict was announced, the crowded court-room expressed open satisfaction, and the spectators, deliberately incited to lynch-french, rushed to notify their friends. Tension which had grown hour by hour in the town reached a high pitch, and the danger of lynching for the seven boys locked in a jail that "can be opened with a teaspoon" was reported mounting every moment that had been out since 2:58 Thursday afternoon. The Norris Case The jury which is to sit in the trial of Clarence Norris, beginning Saturday morning, had just been picked after a long process of elimination and disqualifications lasting all day, when the verdict was brought in. Judge Callahan announced he intended to see to it the Norris trial was over before midnight tomorrow. A change of venue asked by the judge, Leibowitz was appointed by the judge, Norris jury was picked, while ten feet away in the jury room the Patterson jury was deliberating, or at least delaying rendering its verdict. Through the closed door could be heard indistinguishable voices, apparently in argument. Norris sat directly alongside the jury room door, in a red swetter and overalls, watching Leibowitz examine prospective jurors. From where he sat he could hear thru the door muffled voices, supposedly debating to send the first Scottsboro bear to the court this week by Callahan night, according to Callahan's plan, the jury now being picked would be in the same room deciding whether to order him to die or to permit him to live. The first venire panel of 100 was exhausted without getting a jury for the Norris case. Fixed opinions, opposition to capital punishment, unwillingness to accept circumstantial evidence, were the chief reasons for excusing the prospective jurors, with admission of the murder, for the jury by Leibowitz accounting for most. Another panel of 12 was drawn at 9:40 a.m. m, just as loud indistinguishable sounds of heated argument issued from the jury room. Panel after panel was drawn, the court even having a recess, while the sheriff went out to find prospective jurors, before the number of qualified jurors required by law—thirty—could be found and the process of "striking" begun. Leibowitz moved for a change of venue on the ground that the judge number of fixed opinions, for whom the judge proved it was impossible to get a fair and impartial verdict in Morgan county. Callahan, who had continually, during Leibowitz' questioning of the veniremen, cut him short to prevent further admissions of fixed opinions, denied the motion. "New York City, Nov. 29.

I hope the jury will believe my statement, as I cannot appear there. It is not because I came up here that I changed my testimony but I changed it because the nine Negroes did not commit this crime. These nine are innocent boys, these nine lives are electric, these nine lives are taken because they are Atty. S. S. Leibowitz innocent, not because they are guilty, for they did not rape Victoria Price or myself. I will tell this any place, any time. I wish to say again that in the statement taken by Mr. Applebaum, yesterday, is not every little thing that happened during this trip. I hope the court of my home town will believe my statement. This letter is written in the person of myself. There is no one that has asked me to write this. Neither is there anyone present in my ward. I again say the nine boys are innocent. (Signed) RUBY BATES "P. S. I write this as a witness who cannot appear." Atty. Leibowitz asked when Judge Callahan would pass sentence and announced he would file a motion A Ruby Bates. for a new trial which, if denied, would be a step toward the U. S. Supreme Court. The fight against the first death sentences imposed on Patterson and his six co-defendants went to the Supreme Court after the Alabama Supreme Court had affirmed a decision of the Jackson County (Scottsboro) Circuit Court. For the U. S. Supreme Court had held that the boys did not have a fair trial and the benefit of adequate counsel, and ordered a new trial, that a change of venue was granted. The jury was out 25 hours and ten minutes in the Patterson case having begun deliberations at 3 p. m. yesterday (Thursday). Fletcher Henderson and his band of New York City were at the Arcadia ballroom. Wednesday evening.

DECEMBER 9, 1003 That is a good letter, written by Norman Selby Minor, we are pub- lishing elsewhere in this paper. Read it, carefully and thoughtfully! ii “Kid Chocolate,” the wonderful Qittle Afro-Cuban fighter, lost to ‘Tony Canzoneri, last. week, in the second round. ‘That appears to be entirely too early in the battle for a champion of his well-known ability to be “kayoed.” ae The “conviction” of that “Scotts- voro” boy at Decatur, Ala., last week, was but another travesty of justice. Judge W. W. Callahan who presided over tho alleged trial is anything but an honor to the ju- diciary of Alabama. —in— ‘The London Daily Times, one of the greatest newspapers in the world, last week roundly denounced in an editorial an American news- reel picture showing a reconstruc- tion of the murder of Brooke Hart, young Californian, and the lynch- fnurder of his confessed abductors ‘Good, for The Times! Gov. George White (Dem.) of this state is one of the few governors in this country who have failed to Wenounce the California governor's almost criminal endorsement of mob-law, This makes clear the duty of Ohio voters in next fall's state election when a Republican governor will undoubtedly be selected to suc- ceed him. a At Princess Anne, Md., on Thanks- giving Day, a group of young white brutes shot Wm. Jones, age 26, in the leg. They were celebrating the release, the day before, of four in- dividuals arrested on a charge of participating in the Armwood lynch- murder, Oct. 18. This shows the real “southern spirit” about as well ag anything we can think of at the moment. ——i— Down in Natchez, Mississippi, last ‘week, it was found impossible to as- semble a jury to enable the authori- ties to bring to trial two southern aristocrats, a man and & woman, on a charge of murdering a wealthy neighbor, a woman. This is also characteristically “southern” and in a way explains the ease with which southern “crackers,” male and fe- male, ate secured to purjure them- selves in the éffort to convict the Scottsboro-boy-victims. According to dispatches to daily newspapers, Dec. 1, ‘33, from Wash- ington, D, C., F. J, Ames, president of the Selma, Ala. Mfg. Co., “became g0 abusive of NRA officials while trying to get a special wage scale for ‘his Negroes’ that he was forci- bly put out of the office of a high government official.” Another exam- ple of the intolerance of the average southerner, even at the capital of the nation, doubtless because of the presence of the national Democratic administration. —ii— ROLPH AND RITCHIE. ‘It is really encouraging to note the action of leading citizens of Call- fornia, referred to elsewhere in this paper, which calls upon the governor ‘of that state to resign as the result of his absolutely imexcusable tn- dorsement of mob-violence and lynch murder.’ That Bx-President Herbert Hoover's signature is to de found ‘among those of bankers, university presidents, bishops, ministers and rabbis to a strong protest, is also very gratifying. The general denur- eiation of Gov. James Rolph’s almost eriminal statement is also very en- couraging. It now begins to, look as if Gov. Ritchie of Maryland is hardly de- serving of the praise showered upon him in some sections of the country, because it looks very much as if he fs “side-stepping” the responsibility. which is his, for the Armwood lynching at Princess Anne, Md., in October, by placing the case in the hands of judges of the first judicial district of his state, Meanwhile, the St. Joseph, Mo. and Greenville, S. C. authorities are apparently making a real effort to apprehend members of the mobs that disgraced those states, recently. May the good work go forward. li LYNCHINGS. President Roosevelt was too care- ful to not give offense to the South, and the rest of the country prone to mob-violence, in the language he used denouncing lynch-murder, Wednesday night, to suit us. What he said would have been far more effective if he had been more direct and simpler, and plainer words had been used. It seems that the lynch-murder of those two California two-legged “rats,” who murdered Brooke Hart and then threw his battered remains into San Francisco Bay, was not in vain after all, It was this terrible re dl i ck that Bronk ee was white that had more influence, in moving the President and much of the country to speak out against lynch-murder, than all of the more than forty-one lynchings of the year, Let a few more whites be lynch- murdered and Congress will be forced to legislate against mob-vio- lence, lynch-murder! til —— NEEDS TO KNOW THE LAW. The Rev, John F. Green, pastor of St. John’s Baptist! church, Spring- field, ©., who 1s advocating the em- ployment of Afro-American toachers fn Fulton School of that city. it quoted correctly by a Springfield daily paper of Dec. 1, 1933, says: “Twill take issue with ‘any one who will accuse the schoolboard of breaking the state law by forcing our children out of other districts to the Fulton School.” Don't do it, brother, because if you do you will surely be “out of luck.” No school-board or any oth- er organization or individual of Springfield can do any such thing without “breaking the state law.” This you can easily learn if you want to, “Brother” Green. Surely your residence in Ohio has been very briet not to know better than to make such a notoriously incorrect ‘statement. It may be that the Springfield daily paper has misquot- ed you, We hope so, —1lt— DOINGS OF THE RACE. A new book called “Roll, Jordan Roll," by Julia Peterkin, a 'southerr woman (white), declares white peo. ple in tho South were taught theft manners by “Negro” servants. According to Rev. Thos. S. Harten ot N. Y. City, there have been 41 lynchings already this year, Forty- four whites have been lynched in this country since 1919, according to N.A.A.C.P. records. Constant Lambert, London, Ens: land, celebrated music critic, has sent’ Duke Ellington a scroll citing him as the living composer who has contributed most to modern music; composition and interpretation. Thelma HE. Hughes, age 26, an honor graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, died, recent- ly, at Westchester, Pa., where she conducted a studio. Miss Hughes sang in English, Italian, German and Freneh. Steve Hopkins (white), superin- tendent of the Somerset County Almshouse at Princess Anne, Md., sald he found “Armwood’s ‘grave covered with fresh earth after hear- ing, reports that it had been open- ed.” Armwood was lynch-murdered the night of Oct, 18. ‘The widow of Bennie Thompson, lynch-murdered at Ninety-Six, S. C., Oct. 8, 33, has sued the county in which "the ‘town is located for $2,- 000 (damages) under that state's niob-violence act or anti-lynching law. Fifteen members of the mob are under arrest, W. C.

Rosamond Johnson, who wrote “Under the Bamboo Tree,” are appearing as two of the featured artists in Laurie's “Memory Lane Co.” which Was very successful in Chieago and Detroit, last week. The N.A.A-C.P. would receive many more contributions of $25 or more for the association's “silver jubilee fund for 1934” if it would take the public into its confidence as to the salaries being paid its na- tional officers.

NORMAN S. MINOR, ‘cleveland Prime Sport News “Kid Chocolate” Easy Winner. Havana's brilliant Kid Chocolate, still holding the title of junior light- weight champ, slashed and smashed to the decision over Mayfield Road's little Frankie Wallace, Monday night, at Public Hall. Whipped to the body by the Cuban's crackling left larrups, left-jabs and right- crosses on the jaw, mouth and nose, Frankie was a sorry sight. It was clear to all that Kid Chocolate was the winner of at least eight rounds. So uncannily clever was the Afro- Cuban, so fast and relentless in his scoring, that Frankie never did have more than a long-shot chance, save in the first heat, which was all his on aggressiveness (the “Keed” was merely getting his bearings then), and in the second, which might have been called his or even, and in the third, which was Chocolate's by an edge. The action didn’t really wax hot until the fourth, but from then on—whew! Of Kid Chocolate, knock- ed out for the first time in his ca- reer, only a Week ago last Friday night, in the second round, by Tony Canzoneri, it has been rumored that he might be all “washed up,” at last, Perish the rumor, neighbor! The Keed still has it—dance and drive and all. Yup, the “Keed" still claims that junior lighty crown, and I guess he has a right to it, and he was lugging it in there, Monday, for each of ‘em was at 180 pounds.

The idea of using tele- phone wires to carry sermons wa: originated by an invalid woman whe was unable to attend church. ‘Anxious to reach as many mem: bers of his congregation as possible the pastor took the suggestion to the late Pearl R.

Makes Own “Mike” It resembles an early radio loud- speaker, with its four sides tapering down to a small opening in which a telephone transmitter was inserted. Its large square opening is covered by a lattice grille, which also serves as the top of the pulpit. The transmitter in the base was connected by wires with the outside telephone lines which Ted through the switchboard at the exchange to telephone receivers in the homes of the listeners. Reverend Maples spoke into the microphone as he addressed his visible audience, and his words were carried to his invisible listeners just as a telephone conversation is, transmitted today. ‘The time-worn microphone, like many devices of pioneers, is outmoded by the march of progress. But many older members of the Market Street Baptist Church will remember when it was a startling innovation, About the time of the Zanesville hookup, telephone Tines in Columbus, ©, were used to transmit a sermon to the late Dr. George Washington Gladden, nationally famous minister ‘who was pastor of the Congregational Church in the capital city for many years.

C.—WNU Service. LIKE roars from the brass throats of giant mechanical animals, steam whistles echo hoarsely over Hamburg. They are the city's voice, symbolic of its power. Railroad engines whistle, hauling trains here from all over Europe. Steamers whistle, for all ocean lanes lead to Hamburg. Factories whistle, for here industry is prodigious and builds some of the largest ships that plow the seas. Fly over it and look down on the smoking Elbe, its slips and havens crowded with ships and boats of every size; look down on the armies of beaverlike men, moving trucks and barges of cargo, and you see that here is, actually, a colossal warehouse for all Germany. Sail in from the North sea, and there is more proof that a mighty world port is near. You can sense that, as you approach the Elbe's muddy mouth, by long lines of ships moving in and out. Steer past Cuxhaven, where the Elbe empties; follow the beacons and buoys some 65 miles up an S-shaped channel, and there is the astonishing skyline of Hamburg itself. Seen from the harbor, it suggests a jig-saw jumble of medieval and modernistic works of man. That sense of confusion fades, once ashore. You still see a new city imposed on an old; but there is genius and bold beauty in this architectural transfiguration. Yet in all Europe there is nothing built since the World war quite like these bizarre structures which amaze every Hamburg visitor. They are so conspicuous, in contrast with the old city about them. You easily imagine that some giant builder took a big broom and swept away enough old town to make room for these monsters. Consider, for example, the amazing Chile House. Its high front runs to a thin edge, like the sharp bow of some fantastic ship plowing through Hamburg. Its top floor even has side galleries like promenade decks. No other modern structure anywhere resembles this enormous pile; it suggests an ancient civilization, Assisian in spirit. Look up at that overwhelming geometric cube, the Kontorhaus Springenhof, rising in sheer arrogance above its neighbors. You do not expect such Wolkenkrater, or "cloud-scratchers", in Europe; but here they are. Some with elevators that run like buckets on a chain—no doors, no elevator men! During business hours they never stop. These huge trade temples in themselves add nothing to Hamburg's power as chief seaport of Europe. It is not their size that counts, but what goes on in them. The 6,000 tenants in Chile House, like workers on the narrow, cobbled side streets, do their part in Hamburg's enormous labors. Yet how unbelievably diversified those labors are! Among all her infinite activities, none amazes the visitor more than Hamburg's ingenious alliance with the tropics. Some nooks here, where trople nuts, fruits, oils, or wax are handled, actually smell more like Penang or Para than a cold city on the North sea. Facetiously, you might say, Hamburg has imported everything from the tropics but the equator and the climate. Away up in this northern latitude, she even boasts the world's largest wild-animal mart. When you visit Hagenbeck's cageless zoo, where growling tigers seemingly roam free in striking reproductions of their jungle habitats, you can close your eyes and imagine that even Noah's Ark came up the Elbe ahead of all the whistling steamers and landed its animals here! The more you explore Hamburg, especially afoot or by steam launch, the more you realize what an international meeting place it is; how the ships and shops serve each other and help all Germany to quarter with the world. Like rickshas parked before hotels in Japan, rows of for-hire launches lie along Hamburg's harbor front. Raise a hand and a score of seagoning taxiimen leap to life, offering you a fascinating adventure, a cruise around this harbor. Ignore the boatman's chatter. What if there are 36 miles of wharves and quays, and cranes that will lift 250 tons, and 60,000 harbor workers? Get all that later from the consul, if you must have your figures! Just now, look at that fleet of obsolete wind-jammers, their painless sticks long naked of sail; and that elephantine fireboat squirting hissing streams on a burning coal barge. There's a big liner, too, backing into the channel, off for Buenos Aires. On deck a brass band of waiter-musicians is playing "Over the Waves," labeled "Sobre las Olas" for the Spanish-speaking passengers who crowd the rail to wave and shout shrill "Adios." to wet-eyed Argentine exiles on the pier. "Those left behind always do the crying," says your boatman, "not those who go." But the luller's farewell blast drowns his voice. Gulls scream and flock after an English collier, whose cook has just dumped his scraps. The collier blends with mist and fog like a movie fade-out. And yet another ship looms in her place, linked to a queer floating elevator, whose long curved spouts are pumping wheat from her hold. Ships From Far Lands. Here in the channel now are miles of "dolphins" or clumps of piles, to which boats tie up to save wharf charges. They are mostly tramps and freighters. Alongside one sluggish tub we drift, as she unloads hemp and rice. At her rail stands a steward, a shantyed Manila boy, gazing stoicily over the strange harbor—how different from his familiar Manila bay! Close by rusty, weather-beaten ships pass, ships from tropic ports, manned by lascars and other dark-skinned men. Exotic smells from their open cargo hatchins hits at strange straw-baled goods from heathen markets on the China coast; of Brazil-nut shacks along the Amazon, or nipa shacks on sun-drenched Malay beaches, where copper-skinned girls comb long black hair, fragrant with coconut oil, or shirttless men squat about their fighting roosters. A giant seascape roars overhead, but a Chinaman, peeling potatoes outside his galley door, doesn't even look up. We turn and start back to the quays, wharves, warehouses, the forest of cranes, and the whistling tugs. Through four or five centuries Germany wrestled to deepen this tidal Elbe, digging more and more berths for boats along its banks and deepening them as boats grew bigger. Today, no other port anywhere has more clever labor-saving devices for the swift handling of ships, and the juggling, sorting, weighing, and dispatching of goods—endless miles of bulk, boxes, barrels, bags, and bales. Stupefying as the figures are to the casual visitor, they mean a lot to Germany; for this world trade-gate, with all its smoke and whistles, is the barometer that points out fat or lean years for the whole republic. "Our destiny is on the water," is an old German saying. Altona. Where Sailors Live. One man got rich making tablecloths and napkins for German liners. Other profits come from salt fish and sea biscuits; some groups make oil cake, cake and margarine, or chocolate bars. Others roast coffee, refine sugar, or make fertilizers and trade in guano from tropic bird islands. Thus this astonishing port functions. Walk along the Elbe late some Sunday afternoon in summer, when Hamburg is at play. Start, say, from the bathing beaches below Altona. When the bathhouses are overcrowded, many bathers dress in the bushes, with that "freedom of the seas" characteristic of European bathing resorts, where shorts and lingerie also serve as swimming suits. Altona, with coal and fish wharves, neat cottages, grape arbors, and beer gardens, is an ideal home town for sailors. Dine anywhere, by the St Pauli wharf, for example, and you see many deep-water men and their families celebrating papa's homecoming. Ships lie so near some St. Pauli cafes you can read the names on their sterns. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1933 By CHERIE NICHOLAS FURCRAFT is making a spectacular gesture this season in the way of both novelty and style detail. Everywhere one turns in the realm of new furs the air is charged with that thrill of excitement which attends the seeing of out-of-the-ordinary fashions. This is especially so in regard to fur used in a trimming way, likewise fur accessories—"little furs" as some one has been pleased to call the cunning detachable collar-and-muff sets, the little caplets which tie on, the "iel boas" which slip over the head and are worn like a necklace and the thousand-and-one other novelties which are simply breathtaking in their unusualness. In accents loud and clear novelty in a trimming way speaks via the fur-bordered sleeves which distinguish the brown and beige wool crepe ensemble shown to the left in the picture. The designer of this smart outfit trims the sleeves of the long coat in bands of fox in contrasting colors—beige and dark chinamon brown. This use of two-tone fox is frequently carried out in black and white and the effect is stunning. It is interesting to note that the smart bit of headgear worn with the suit pictured is of the identical brown and beige crepe of the costume itself. From the handsome mink-trimmed cloth coat centered below in this group some idea is gained of the novel and intriguing alliances which fur and cloth are negotiating for winter. Outstanding style points include an interesting sleeve treatment which gains fullness through the use of cartridge pleats. The coat is one of those straight up-and-down tube effects which is so slenderizing and which interprets the swagger silhouette of the FOR RESORT WEAR By CHERIE NICHOLAS Paris collections all sound the note for resort wear. Molyneaux uses corded turquoise velvet in an informal dinner gown for cruising or resort. The jacket is that cunningly constructed, it suggests the lines of a cape. No costume, so word comes from leading style centers, is complete without jewelry. The fair resorter in the picture is wearing a stunning bracelet, and since hair ornaments are the newest note, she pins up her tresses with a star set with glittering stones of various colors. moment. The fur on the sleeves is so arranged as to simulate a cape contour which is characteristic of many of the new fur treatments. The generous collar is a draped affair that may be worn in several intriguing ways when opened. The luxurious heavily furred appearance of this model is a feature accentuated in many of the latest cloth-plus-fur coats. A theme widely exploited in current fashions is that of the dress which is fur-trimmed. Sometimes it is merely a matter of shoulder epaulets made of fur or a swatch or two somewhere on the waist or skirt, perhaps in form of an unexpected pocket or a decorative tab on rever or whatever the motif may happen to be. It only takes a dash of fur positioned just right to achieve a maximum style touch. The pen-and-ink sketch of a Paris frock, appearing above to the left in the group, demonstrates the out-of-the-ordinary trends of voguish flat fur treatments. This stunning outfit which, by the way, bears a Martialt or Armand stamp, has its sleeves entirely of supple broadtail. A most unusual detachable neckpiece and a matching muff complete this story of high fashion. The dress pictured to the right is also nattly trimmed in flat fablールlike fur. It is a street or business frock of gun-metal gray lightweight woolen with a swatch of Persian lamb on the skirt to correspond with the fur bertha which collars the waist. In connection with the existing flair for flat fur trimmings we would especially emphasize the growing tendency to match the fur details on the dress with a hat of the same fur. TUNICS RETURN TO FAVOR FOR WINTER The tunic again is the vogue. Molyneux uses it extensively, one very stunning model being of p. le dull beige ribbed velvet for an evening with a little coat trimmed with dyed martins. A yellow iris is the shoulder trimming. The gown has that simple and slightly curved decolletage with very narrow shoulder straps—so typically Mollyneux-ian—and the tunic comes low over the hips. The dull beige ribbed velvet has the ribs running diagonally and the skirt beneath the tunic falls in soft lines, increasing in width from the knees to the floor. The jacket is a sort of cape-coat affair, with two bands of the martin where the cape curves around the arm to form a sleeve, and another band of martin in a circular movement around the neck and down each side, stopping at the waist. Tailored Waist Newest Style for Evening Wear The tailored shirtwaist for evening wear is one of the most radical ideas in a season noteworthy for its departure from the conventional. No matter how severe the lines of the shirtwaist, the material must be the quintessence of elegance. Lame, metallic and other gleaming materials are used with sensational success. The brighter the shirtwaist, the duller the skirt, seems to be the rule. Long, slim skirts, designed for these unusual bodices, are best when in mossy crepe, spongy woolen, or dull, deep-pilled velvet. Some of these two-piece evening costumes have jackets to match the bodice or shirtwaist. Most women seem to prefer a dark, dull jacket to match the skirt.
