Columbus, O. — Declaring they represented seven campus organizations, 100 students gathered in the commerce building at O. S. U., recently, at a "save the Scottsboro boys—anti-lyning mass meeting." They appointed a temporary com-mit on permanent organization and with the support of Gov. James Roblph Jr. of California for endorsing淋-murders. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Rev. Russell S. Brown, until recently pastor of Mt. Zion Cong. church, this city, now pastor of Shorter A. M. E. church, Denver, Colo., has started off nicely in his new charge, according to The Denver Star. Rev. Brown has ability, a pleasing personality and plenty of energy. He will undoubtedly succeed in his new work—if he will only stay out of politics. It was his participation in local politics that practically ruined him as pastor of Mt. Zion church, this city. He is not the only minister, however, to fall to mix politics and religion. The Rounder is yet to hear of one who ever succeeded in doing so. How many remember the silly speech, several years ago, explaining his vote for the Hon. Harry E. Davis, just appointed a civil service commissioner, Councilman Clayborne George made in the City Council after being forced to change his announcement intention to do so by an overwhelming sentiment among his constituents in the third councilmanic district. George was not for Harry L. Davis for mayor prior to the lukewarm in his support of the mayor after the primaries. Therefore, the mayor is not obligated in any way to George, now a "lame-duck" councilman. Current rumor has it that Councilman Roy Bundy, the backer of the Le Bun Basketball team, was refused uniforms for the players, recently. If so, why? It is also said that Bill Smith, the sensational N. Y. Rens center, is flirting with Bundy relative to membership on the team. That cartoon in last Sunday's Plain Dealer of Councilman Payne and Bundy surely is a "scream." Don't fail to see it, if you have not done so. It has Payne toggled in a nifty green suit and Bundy in a yellow suit and represents the former hanging up a sign on which the team's players are roaring, "This is our busy day." Underneath the cartoon the following appears: "Councilmen Payne and Bundy of the 11th and 12th Wards ostracise racketeers in order to retain respectability of the policy games." Bundy lives in the 17th Ward and not the 12th Ward. To all who went to him the last of last week, and this week, Maurice Maschke, former local Republican leader, said he was "out of the picture" and that those wanting jobs would have to apply to Dave R. Jones. This is the political sensation of the hour. About ten days before the election, Mr. Maschke was relieved of the disposition of political funds which were placed in the hands of Mr. Jones, several years ago a member of the city Civil Service Commission. This also caused considerable surprise. Bundy, Payne and George have up-to-date received their jobs for constituents thru Mr. Maschke for going to the support of a member of the Jewish group for a position in the mayor's cabinet when there was already a Jewish member (Shapiro) of the same. XMAS CAROLS. To Be Sung by 200 Employees of The Telephone Company—President Randolph Eide to Speak— Charles D. Dawe, Director. Final arrangements were completed, the first of the week, for the state-wide broadcast of Christmas carols to be sung by 200 employees of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in the lobby of the company's building, 750 Huron Rd, this Friday morning at 11:30. Besides the originating station, WHK, the program will be carried by WADC [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Randolph Eide and WJW, Akron; WSPD, Toledo; DKWN, Youngstown; WSMK, Dayton; and WCAH and WAUI, Columbus. Such favorites as "Silent Night," "Joy to the World," "Little Town of Bethlehem," and "Come All Ye Faithful," will be included on the program, which will be under the direction of Charles D. Dave, nationally known choral conductor. Davis H. Morris, assistant too president, will accompany on the piano. During the broadcast, Randolph Eide, president of the Ohio Bell, will extend Christmas greetings to the company's patrons and employees. AS A FEDERAL OFFENSE. As a result of the recent mob-law outrages in widely separated sections of the country, it is probable that a law making lynching a federal offense will be urged at the approaching session of Congress. The enactment of such a law would be in line with the action of Congress in enacting a measure making kidnapping a federal offense when that crime became so general in its scope that it assumed the proportion of a national menace. The federal activities made possible by this law have resulted in greatly reducing the kidnapping evil, the apprehension and conviction of most of the criminals responsible for the kidnappings of the past six or eight months, and the prospect that the evil will soon be exterminated. Now that mob law is no longer a sectional evil, the most conspicuous examples of the evil being in states than the South, it is not surprising that Congress should deal with the evil in the same manner in which it proceeded against the kidnapping menace. There is no room in the United States for mob law under any conditions. If our civilization is to be protected, the punishment for crime must be left to the courts. There is no midway ground. A law making lynching a national offense would undoubtedly have a strongly deterrent effect upon those inclined to place the authority of the mob above that of the courts.—Editorial in the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution of Dec. 9, '33. GILLESPIE'S AMENDMENT Unanimously Adopted by the Ohio House of Justice. Last Week—Good Work. Columbus, O.—Representative Chester K. Gillespie of Cleveland introduced and secured the adoption of the following amendment to the liquor bill, last week Friday afternoon, by the lower house of the State Assembly: Any person, firm or corporation, or his or its employee or agent who has been terminated by a court having jurisdiction in section 12940 of the General Code of Ohio, or any part thereof, shall forthwith forselt any permit granted to him, or it, by the Board. In addition to the Board, such court shall have the power to order such forselture. Any place granted such permit by the Board or Department, shall, be deemed a place of public accommodation, within the meaning of said section 12940. Application to the lower permit shall not be considered by the Board or department under one year from date of said forselture." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PEOPLE OSSOM TRIPLETS" REPRESENTATION IN MAYOR L. DAVIS' CABINET. Given the Candidacy of the Editor and Organizations' Delegations right Hard for the Place. "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" OPPOSE RACE REPRESENTATION IN MAYOR HARRY L. DAVIS' CABINET. Splendid Support Given the Candidacy of the Editor by Individuals and Organizations' Delegations That Fought Hard for the Place. --- The battle is over. The appointment, Tuesday, of a Polish newspaperman as Director of Parks of the city of Cleveland ended a month's contest in which our people participated actively and aggressively ever since our citizens' meeting in the "Negro" Welfare Association rooms on the evening of Nov. 21. '33, called by Roddy K. Moon, president of our Cleveland Real Estate Board, and Wm. R. Conners, secretary of the association. At that meeting, a committee of four was appointed, consisting of Atty. Alex. H. Martin, chairman; Rev. H. W. Evans, pastor of Lane Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church; Messrs. Moon and Conners, to call on Mayor Harry L. Davis and present the claims of our people to a presentation in his cabinet and to urge the Mayor of Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazzette. The fact that our voters of this city, numbering approximately forty thousand, constitute one-third of the total Republican vote of Cleveland was made the basis of their request for the support asked. There are seven members of the Mayor's cabinet. Therefore, we are entitled to two members but only asked for one. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Atty. Alex. H. Martin. The editor's active support of the Mayor in all of his city charts contests as well as his publicly active interest. The Gazette and as a campaign speaker, of Mr. Davis' two recent campaigns for mayor, as well as their many years' intimate personal acquaintance, the editor's acknowledged ability and familiarity with city affairs as a result of six years' membership in the newspaper legislature and his newspaper interest in the impact, were impressed upon the city chief executive. Strong letters of endorsement from Senator John P. Green and other leading local members of the race, male and female; strong resolutions from the 18th Ward Harry L. Davis Booster Club and the Ingalls-Bolton-Norton Republican club, mainly of Ward 11, were filled with his honor. These two organizations also selected the following delegations to call on the Mayor in support of their resolutions: From the H. L. Davis Booster club: Rev. J. L. Smith, chairman; Atty. Harold T. Gassaway, Atty. Frank C. Lyons, Mrs. Carrie H. Thornhill, Atty. Jos. L. Baylor, W. H. Seawright, sec. From the I-B-N Republican club: Dr. E. J. Gregs, chairman; Mrs. Della W. Clinton, president of the club; Mrs. Mela La Salle, sec. The individual and organizations did all in their power to impress the Mayor with the importance, not only to him but to the Republican party of Cleveland, of so recognize a potent of a factor the party, as our vote unquestionably is, but in vain. There is not a member of his cabinet that represents a class or race-voting strength in the local Republican party that near equals ours. Where were "The Blossom Triplets" in this effort to get our people "somewhere in the political sun?" George, Payne and Bundy turned their backs on their own people and went to the support of a member of another group, for place Mayor Harry Jarvis, his wife, what think of that? Not satisfied with their support of Color-Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, many months ago, "The Blossom Triplets" again turned 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 immediate in the NEWSEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. 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 two, isn't it? What more than two, isn't it? What action all the more culpable is the fact that they went to the support of a member of another race, for a JOHN P. GREEN Victor Holmes position in the mayor's cabinet, which already had a member of it in the person of Law Director Ezra Shapiro. The "Triplets" were willing that the Jewish people have two members of the cabinet and their own people not even one when we are entitled to two. What do you think of that? While the editor had absolutely no part in calling the citizens' meeting or in its action, or that of any other of the several organizations actively engaged in the effort to se- M. D. H. "The Blossom Triplets" cure our people representation in the mayor's cabinet, he fully appreciates and thanks them, and all others who may have done anything to assist in the matter, for the honor they paid him in freely and willingly supporting him for the representation so desired, by practically all of our people of this community. While our people have not succeeded in this effort, there is no question in our mind but that Mayor Harry L. Davis, as soon as his many exceptionally exacting duties will permit, will give them the "more and better representation" he freely promised on different occasions when addressing them during the recent campaign. Lynch-Murdered an Innocent Youth. Nashville, Tenn.—The Lynch-murder in Maury county, last week, of Cord Cheek, age 19, was condemned by Gov. McAllister, Monday, as "disgraceful and very cruel, lawless thing." Cheek was abducted here, last week Friday, shortly after being discharged from jail on order of the Maury county grand jury. He was innocent of the crime (attempted to kill a police officer) and has posted a $1,000 reward for the apprehension of Cheek's Lynch-murderers.

Send us $2, and we will do the rest. The Ku Klux Klan, which apparently is dying very hard throut the country, bobbed up again in Philadelphia, recently, doubtless encouraged by the presence of a Democratic administration at Washington, D. C. Its effort to interfere in local affairs was not successful. This is as it should be. --- Harlem is ninety per cent Afro- American, and yet our people there do less than five per cent of the busi- ness of that section of New York City, ninety-five per cent of which is in the hands of Chinamen, Japanese, Italians, Greeks, Bohemians, Hungarians, Scandinavians and Jews. But our people there have thousands of dollars invested in fine churches. "Twas ever thus, --- The governor of Tennessee characterizes the lynch-murder, last week, of that innocent 19-year-old youth, Cord Cheek, as "disgraceful, very cruel and a lawless thing," and has posted a $1,000 reward for the apprehension of the lad's murderers. This is a little advance for the average southern governor, and therefore encouraging. We sincerely hope that the $1,000 reward will bring results. A study of the national housing plan of the government, which is being starred in certain sections of this city, discloses two facts: One is that the poor people—and that includes many of our people—who own property in the "slum districts," will lose one-half of its tax value, and also will be unable, because of too high rentals, to take advantage of the "housing" provided. As a matter of fact, their property will practically be confiscated. --- As a result of that meeting at Howard University, last week, it looks very much as if Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Secretary of Labor (Miss) Perkins, Gen. Johnson, head of the NRA, Dr. Ezekiel and Dr. Dickinson of the same organization, and other Government officials, are endeavoring to get leading Afro-Americans, interested, to agree to codes discriminating in the matter of pay, against our laborers in the South who do the same kind of work as white laborers. This would result in such unfair discrimination as would be a disgrace to our government. It is encouraging to note that, up-to-date, our leaders have steadfastly refused to do so. Let us hope that they will continue to hold that position and to insist that no such color-line codes be adopted by the NRA. STEALING RIDES Twenty-seven youths in their teens were picked off the rear ends of street-cars in this city over the week-end, by third precinct police, in a city-wide drive to end ride-sealing and rowdyism on and about street-cars. This is the direct outgrowth of the shooting of Linton Wade, age 15, E. 86th St, a car-jumper, by Gabriel Farkas, Cleveland Railway Co. motorman who should by all means be prosecuted for unlawfully carrying a gun and for shooting the lad in the leg as he ran from him. Police Chief Matowitz has the local members of the force watching not only for rowdy street-car-ride-sealers but also for "gun tote"s. One man, a resident of E. 42d St., was found carrying a 28 calibre revolver, loaded with four cartridges. Many months ago, The Gazette urged just such action as this, but the street-car company didn't see fit to act on the recommendation that they invoke the aid of the police to stop the youths from stealing rides. It took th shooting of young Wade by one of their motormen to cause them to act, with the result noted above. We trust that the police chief will have his men arrest the motormen and conductors who are unlawfully "toting guns," as they were free to admit, last week. LYNCH-MURDER. A recent issue of "The Chicago Defender," after referring to the fact that "33" or rather forty-one "black men" had been lynched in this country since the first of the year, asks the question, "why die without a protest?" which should be changed to read, "why die without taking one or more of the mob with you" if you have a chance to do so. Let this happen a few times in the South, and the great deterrent against mob-violence and lynch-murder will have been found. "Organizing and joining the sheriffs in their efforts to resist the mob" won't "work" in a majority of the cases, for the very good reason so very few sheriffs even make a pretense of resisting the mob. Here in Ohio, our anti-lynch law has been very effective ever since its enactment in 1896. The same is true in other states, including Illinois, that have enacted mob violence acts or anti lynch-murder laws, based on the principles of our Ohio law. And by the way, "Lincoln's state" was the first one to follow Ohio's lead in the matter of effective legislation against the mob. Its law is almost a perfect copy of Ohio's. "GUN TOTING." "That Scovill Ave. motorman who recently shot the 15-year-old lad of the race in the leg as he was running from the motorman, had no legal right to carry a gun, as Safety Director Lavelle well says, and, of course, no legal right to shoot the boy. That the latter was stealing a ride on the car does not justify the act of the man. The effort of Assistant County Prosecutor Jaglenkis to justify, at least in part, his "no-papering" the case should not estop the prosecution of the man. For months the writer, a daily patron of the Scovill Ave. car-line, has noticed the "bunch of Negroes" and other boys who have caused trouble on that line by stealing rides and pulling off street-car trollies. No conductor or motorman has ever been "stuck up" by the boys, and no such report has ever reached any of the local newspapers as intimated by Jaglenski. Chief Matowitz is entirely correct when he says that "carrying concealed weapons is forbidden by law." "ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL." By Julia Peterkin and Doris Ulmann —a New and Exceptionally Compiled Edition "Roll, Jordan, Roll" is Julia Peterkin's newest book containing photographic studies by Doris Ulmann. Miss Peterkin will be remembered as the author of "Scarlet Sister Mary" and "Bright Skin," two books that have won her deserved reputation as an outstanding chronicler of Afro-American life in the South. It is a work of seventy full-page photographs that is intensely interesting from beginning to end. Miss Peterkin is always a dramatist and an exceptionally capable story-teller. In speaking of "Roll, Jordan, Roll" Miss Peterkin says: "I have tried to put down here things which will give as a full a picture of 'Negro' life in the South as I am able to give, matters which I want to see in print before they are forgotten." As a result, in her text and Miss Ulmann in her pictures he undoubtedly made a body picture which in its knowledge to knowledge of southern Afro-Americans and in the fascination which dramatic facts, recorded by such a skilful story-teller, always have. Of it Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., writes: "A beautifully written and veritable picture. Of equal importance are the super photography by Doris Ulmann. A magnificent accomplishment." Price $3.50. Publisher, robert O. Bailou, 2 W. 13th st., N. Y. City. Their Scheme Didn't "Work!" Washington, D. C.—It is the consensus or opinion here that the conference held, last week Tuesday evening, in the Moreland Foundation room in Carnegie Library Building on Howard University campus, and attended by fifty or more persons was held for the specific purpose of getting some of our people in NRA codes based on color;" or in other words to give sanction to code writers of the NRA to agree with southern demands for lower wages for our workers as compared with white workers doing the same work in the South. Present at the conference were county clerks or more per cent of whom were Afro-Americans and the other thirty, white employees of the National Recovery Administration. Thanks and Felicitations.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. In Kentucky and North Carolina states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages in case of viciousness by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by imposing and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10). Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281.

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 house, 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 dollars 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.

HENDERSON 6026 SOLD BY DRUG STORES EVERYWHERE ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAGSHIP JACOB RUPPERT, Oct. 12—What a hectic time we are having and how tired I am! Here we are on our great ship at Bayonne, N. J. I can't write it all out sensibly. I can only give you a few hasty glimpses of the strange whirl of events I am going through. The arrival on board with my luggage—in the rain. The howling of 151 Eskimo dogs, some in cages, the rest chained to everything available on our steel decks—all of them yelling their heads off. A dock worker has made a mistake in handling a big valve and a lot of dogs have been delled with oil. Four veterinarians are working over them now. They are in a lot of discomfort but wonderfully patient. PETER H. Commander stevedores. The G. O. Noville hundreds up on hundreds of orange painted gasoline drums. The piles of miscellaneous cargo. The boxes of oil. Walking through the holds I see strange sights — skis, snowshoes, immense piles of furs, queer looking little round stoves. (I'll tell you some interesting things about these later). The first welcome bell for food after working all night. Uttar fatigue but no rest. Such is the beginning of our great adventure. I know the dangers of loading this cargo. We are using the utmost care in our inspection of each gasoline drum to prevent a leaky one from conning aboard. What leaking gasoline could do to us is horrible to contemplate. And here, over the side, comes two tons of high explosives, for blasting our way through the ice of Antarctica. At night, when I go to bed, I hope I can forget those things are on board. Already I am beginning to catch what is known as the "Expedition Spirit." Everyone is tired. Everyone has more work than he possibly can do. But everybody is good natured, cooperative, sympathetic. It is this spirit and his wonderful preliminary campaign of preparation which makes Admiral Byrd's ventures so successful. Visitors are swarming over our ship—Colonel Ruppert, one of our sponsors, grtn MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H.S., 9E. Ohio St., Chica ning from ear to ear at the strange sights, sounds and smells. A hundred newspaper men and women a s king everybody innumerable questions. Sound movie men trying to get sensible interviews out of Commander Noville, my chief instructor, and everybody else on board. Tomorrow night we must leave for Norfolk to start our 10.000 mile trip to the bottom of the world. Will we ever get all this stuff on the ship and all the visitors off? And now we are getting our oil and fuel aboard. That's what I am particularly interested in. We are going to encounter variable weather conditions—temperatures that will be 100 degrees Fahrenheit at the Equator and 70 to 80 degrees below Zero in the Antarctic. I wonder how I'll stand that cold! The coldest I have ever been was one night at Kent School when I flooded the skating rink at 10 degrees below. They tell me that I can't have a bath all the time I am at Little America—about 16 months — for fear of opening the pores in a draft and catching pneumonia. And the drafts down there come from icy gales which sometimes blow 150 miles an hour. We have to rub ourselves over with cold cream to keep clean. This worries me. With all these temperature changes our engines—and what a variety of them we have—demand a wide range of specially selected fuels and lubricants. We are taking on about 5,000 tons of fuel oil on the Jacob Ruppert alone. And 15,000 gallons of aviation gasoline of fighting grade, to say nothing of a few thousand gallons of kerosene and a staggering quantity of cylinder oil, rod swabbing oil, aero rocker arm grease and other things to keep our many engines working smoothly. Have you joined our club yet? All you have to do is send me a stamped, addressed envelope addressed to Arthur Abele, Jr., Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N.

Cincinnati as to make the contrast reach almost to high heaven. Strange as it may seem to some, yet it is a fact, the limited street car service in the sections of the city where the poorer people live is the best patron the taxicab companies of the city have. In order to teach in time, their work situation particularly, a large number of these people are frequently forced to use taxicabs. This very naturally encourages their use on other occasions. It seems to me that the Cleveland Railway Co. ought to wake up to this fact and improve the service in those sections, and thus materially increase its cash returns.

Childress sang over the radio here, last Saturday, resulted in Benny Mason digging deep into his trousers for $7,000 Monday, according to reports in the Third Police Precinct. Childress conducts the "Rev. Leatherfoot" program from Station WGAR, each Saturday evening. In the middle of last week's program he announced: "Our numbers will be 73 and 82." Dr. Childress, a dentist by day, famous here for his stirring introductions in hymns, in which he into the rainbow to draw out appropriate phrases, was informed of the coincidence, Monday night. A somewhat similar experience to the foregoing has been enjoyed by several persons who used the numbers found in The Gazette's cartoons in recent weeks. Last week Thursday night, Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Hogan, E. 1424 St., celebrated the first birthday anniversary of their youngest child. Nancy, one of the brightest little "sisters" we have ever met.

VERY year air route maps be- come more complex with new ines crossing as well as paral- leling the old. Once isolated regions where the locomotive whistle and the automobile horn have never echoed, are being brought nearer to civilization. And traveling time is now being gauged by the newer flying hours, Lewis and Clark, with a modern plane, ¢ould haye made their two-year trip from St. Louis to Oregon and back in two days! How air speed thus wipes out time and distance is common knowledge. We all know that men, mall, and ex- press fairly whiz through the air, day and night. We hear the planes roar overhead; but since they touch earth oaly heré and there, at airports out- side the cities, not all of us realize the swift, huge growth of air traffic. Oficial figures are almost incredible. Today air mail carried is five times what it was six years ago. ‘The num- ber of air. passengers has multiplied 62 times, and express carried is 35 times what Jt was in. 1027. Not only is America served, trom Alaska to Argentina, but all Europe likewise has Its net of air lines, witn long-distance routes stretching from London to South Afriea and India, from Marseilles to Indo-China, and from the Netherlands, about | 8,200 nilles, to Netherlands India—to say nothing of the airship Grat Zeppelin making scheduled round trips between Germany and Brazil. It took nearly three centuries to cov- er our country with roads and tracks on the ground, In little more than a decade some 23,000 miles of airways have been plotted and largely marked along their routes with lights and signs. . For use of more than'7,000 licensed civilian planes and 18,000 pilots who fly these elevated railways of the sky, more than 2,100 airports and landinz fields now dot the United States. Some are lonely desert stations at emer- gency landing fields; others, owned by cities or private concerns, are com- modious and ornate. Many Airway Companies. ' Whe latest airway map of the United | States shows 35 scheduled airway com- panies. Many routes parallel the rail- ‘ways. Some take bold short cuts. Some are transcontinental; others run north and south, as from Seattle to San Diego, or Chicago and New York to Aflami. ‘On our domestic routes and connect- ing foreign lines, planes are flying about 150,000 miles a day. Two-fifths of this travel is at night. For the past few months, despite hard times, about 42 per cent of all passenger seats have been sold. ‘It cost an air passenger about 15 cents a mile to ride in 1929. Since then fares have been steadily reduced. ‘Now the rate throughout the United States averages about the same as first-class train fare plus pullman charge. ‘Less than 20 years ago air-passenger service was unknown. A,ploneer fiy- ing boat carried sight-seers on sched- uled trips over the 17 miles between ‘Tampa and St. Petersburg, Fla., for a few weeks early in 1914. So far as federal records show, that was Amer- ica’s first regular air-travel line, Last year scheduled air lines in the United States carried more than half a million paying passengers. About 1,500,000 more flew on sight-seeing trips.over cities, in private planes, and on other nonscheduled flights. ‘Though each year sees more traffic by air, the rapid increase in passenger travel is of most significance. It proves that the public's former lack of full confidence in airplanes is dis- appearing. ‘One instance serves to show how business men are using air service ad- vantageously. An official of a Toledo corporation recently made a seven-day air trip to Chicago, Cheyenne, Denver, Salt -Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouv- er, British Columbia, and return. At some of these points his local agents met him at airports for conferences between planes. The surface journey would have taken 13 days longer. ‘Tourist flyers are also increasing. ‘To Havana, Nassau, and the West In- ies alone, go more than 1,500 passen- gers a week. Fifty per cent of these ‘are women; about 3 per cent are chil- dren in age anywhere from a week old to twelve years, when they pay full fare. ‘Business Men Use Planes. A recent check of United Air Lines passengers shows that 60 per cenf ‘were officers of corporations, 20 per eent were sales officials, engineers, and other representatives of corporations, and the rest miscellaneous travelers. This seems to indicate that business men have turned to the airplane be cause It speeds up transaction of af- fairs and conserves time and money. Sixty per cent of 784 corporations, each capitalized at $100,000 or more. have executives and representatives using airplanes regularly, according to ‘@ survey of these companies. Speed, beyond any doubt, is man's chief reason for riding in airplanes, In pioneer days the bullwhacker goad- ed his ox team to gain another halt miles per hour; stage drivers lashed their galloping four-horse teams and changed to fresh horses every few miles, With steam came competition among parailel railways, to cut out grades, curves, and all possible stops. to gain more speed. The same race for speed is apparent now among com- peting air lines. From a cruising rate of 75 miles an hour, we have seen planes become fast- er and faster; some now average 150 and more miles per hour, dependins on winds. Today you can fly the 200 “miles between Washington and New- “ark airport (for New York ity) In $0 minutes; from San Francisco to Los Angeles, 243 miles, in one hour and 58 minutes. Between New York and Los An- geles the air-passenger schedule is less than 25 hours eastbound and 29 hours westbound, as compared with thre> days and 11 hours by rail, New planes carrying mail and express parcels may cut these times nearly in half within 12 months. With more speed, bigger and better planes bring more comfort. Divested of all cireus thrills, today’s efficient machines, reliable pilots, and the busi nesslike methods of highly organized alr transport companies make fight ‘across the continent no longer a nov elty. Planes run on time cards like trains. Symptoms of nervousness amonz passengers as planes took off or land: ed, have about disappeared. So says the “fying hostess” who serves your lunch as you fly, brings you chewing gum and ear cotton, something to read, or tilts back your chair, turns out your lamp, and pats your pillow for you when night comes, The flying hostess is credited with having done much to Increase the number of women air pas: sengers. Growth of the Air Mail. | In 1911 experiments with mail-car rying planes were made in India and England. In September of that year, on Long Island, New York, America’s first official trials were also made. Earle L. Ovington, with his Queen monoplane, was named air mail car- rier and covered a regular route be tween Mineola and the flying fleld, only ten miles away. He carried many thou- sands of letters and posteards during this week’s experiment. It was not until 1918, however, that money granted by congress was acti: ally used to set up an experimental air mail route between New York and | Washington. Yet, since 1926, air mail has tn creased by more than 1,500 per cent. It was 433,449 pounds then, In 1931 ft had reached a total of 9.643211 pounds. It declined slightly in 1932 because of higher air-postage rates and hard times. Out of every dollar the post office spends, only 2.1 cents goes for alr mail, paid for by the mile. More than half that Is regained from the postage. Last year the public bought more than $10,000,000 worth of air stamps, besides using many ordjnary postaze stamps, marking the letters “by air mail.” ‘The cost per mile flown on air mail routes has been steadily decreasing. In September, 1931, the cost per mile averaged 67 cents. In the same month of 1992 the cost had decreased to 5S cents a mile. When these figures are considered, along with the total miles flown by air mail carriers over their lines with and without mail, the pres- ent rate Is about 55 cents per mile. and is expected to drop to 50 cents a mile this year. ‘Air mall service to Latin America ts a good example of what planes now achieve. Today a letter by air can go from New York to Buenos Alres, b2 answered, and that answer got back to New York in about the time boat mail takes merely to sail from New York to Argentina. ‘New York mail to Puerto Rico, in the West Indies, flies there in 24 hours and less. ‘That Is 2,050 alr-line miles. or 50 miles farther than from New York to Los Angeles. ‘The airplane has been the means of hurdting in one swift Jump all the geographic and climatic difficulties Which heretofore handicapped inter- American travel. Mexico City is with: In five hours of our border; Havana ‘and Nassau within one and two hours; Jamaica and Haiti within seven hours; the Panama Canal Zone and every country in the Caribbean area within two days; the most distant capital of South America within seven days.

The growing girl on the campus, and her older sister who Is dieting to gain or lose weight will welcome with enthusiasm this new type of dress that is made to accom- ‘modate itself gracefully to variations in size at hips, bust and waist. ‘These dresses, made of soft woolen fabrics in the popular high or neutral shades, haye an ingenious side construction that does the trick. It looks as If its sole purpose were decorative, but a tiny metal buckle at each side indi- cates the presence of a concenled ad- Justable slide fastener, which is set in so that the dress may be adjusted to correct fit by regulating the clever fasteners. Instead of a snap-fastened opening at one side of the waist, these dresses have both sides open with deep plackets reaching up to the bust and down to the hip, so made that the fabric neatly overlaps and stays closed when the fasteners have been adjusted to the waist, FLASHES FROM PARIS ‘Silhouettes are tall and slender. Evening hats accent the formal note, ‘The quilting idea is a strong trim- ming feature. ‘Anew flare 1s achieved through front fullness, Emphasis is on Jacket ensembles for evening wear. ‘Simple gowns in rich matertals carry the message for evening. Youthful offsface hats combine silhouette of the bonnet and the toque. Velvet Capes Supply New Note to Winter Costumes ‘The ensemble completed by a lone cape presents an interesting phase of winter fashion. It is not the type for ‘everyone, but is a mode of distinction intended for women with distinction enough to wear it well. They make use of no less than three fabries, but the cape Is velvet which seems most important of all, {t Is a model that might be very satisfactorily copied, substituting @ fur cape by a muff and good looking hat is worth think- ing about. eee. Skirts this winter concentrate fash- ion news at the back. Some evening models are slit behind the left ankle, others are designed with plain fronts and all the fullness drawn to the back, while others are finished with a series of ruffles or flounces cascading at the back. COLLARS TAKE NEW SHAPES FOR COATS Ascot Tie Is Popular With ashi Baaieuece) Collars are only one detail of this season's fur coats that have taken new shapes, as shown in exhibits for na- tional fur week. ‘The ascot collar and tie ts used on both dress and sports coats, on hand- some-fitted furs, and on swagger coats. ‘Some models, such as a three-quar- terlength kidskin, have a straight piece around the neck, with adjustable. Iength ascot which can be looped oF thrown over the shoulder. ‘This three- quarter-length coat Is good to wear over wool frocks, ‘The high, chin-chin collar, fastening far to the side, gives a broad-shoul- dered effect. ‘The long stole collar has returned to lend smartness. ‘The butterfly collar, which Is of flat fur, crosses under the chin, and widens toward the end, where it Is buttoned ‘or snapped or Inid over ench shoulder In winged effect, Sailor collars—seen fon ermine wraps or sports coats. of kid—also are popular, as are the flat roll collars, Silver fox, however, often Is pre: ferred to many of the little collars, A wide variety also is seen In sleeves for fur coats, ‘The leg-o-mutton sleeve has all the fullness concentrated at the top of the shoulder. The upper arm fullness, par tlcularly In fine flat earacul, Is achieved by tucks let in at the sides of the armhole. Others are loose and easy above the elbow, and gathered Into a deep, tight cuff.

It Is quite a patriotic affair in that the lacy open-stiteh’ part of the blouse is crocheted in red and blue while the knitted band on the bottom and the sleeves 1s white. ‘The hat is crocheted of black cotton string. ‘The pert little hat is fashioned on the lines of the miner's hat. ‘The widen- ing of the visorlike head band, with the flange given to the crown, makes it very becoming. A big shiny butfon worked into the crocheted cabochon at the front is its only decoration. It is easy to make and is very effective in knitting crochet cotton, STYLE NOTES : Dark colors are important. Brown furs are the wanted kind, Diadem and coronet hair orna- ments are worn. Gold-flecked satin is popular for frocks and blouses. Black stain oxfords are smart for formal afternoon hours. Gilt-stitched felt hats are amonz the newer millinery showings.

Some are suitable for formal occastons, this matter being determined by the dress decolletaze more than line or ma- terial. ‘A long train that looks as if It had een shirred is the distinctive touch on ‘a long, slinky white satin evening gown, Twisted black velvet flowers, Knotted and bunched at the throat. form the most effective contrast Lm- aginabie.
