Wagner, lineman of The Ohio Wagner Telephone Company at Dayton, came to the rescue of a lady in distress, not on a fiery steed, but in a ton and a half truck. The story of Wagner's gallant rescue is one of the battle of modern science against one of man's oldest enemies—a raging bull. From a vantage point at the top of a ladder in Trenton, O., where he was trimming trees, the telephone man saw a lady vainly trying to shoo an irate bull with her agrom. Nobly he descended and took over the battle, after directing the fair contestant to safety. Cautiously he approached the beast with every axiom of his telephone JAR J.P.K. 1 CLEVELAND, OHIO.

Victorious with Angry Bull safety course uppermost in his mind The bull bellowed and moved into action. Wagner beat a hasty retreat, quickly reaching the truck cab and slamming the door behind him. With head lowered, the infuriated animal charged the front of the truck. Putting his mount into low gear, Wagner retaliated. The battle raged, with the bull receiving more than he gave from the front bumper as the truck lunged forward. Bump by bump, first in the front and finally in the rear, the attacker was driven back. At the edge of town, a breathless farmer arrived to claim the defeated bull. He confessed that his animal was temperamental at times and heaped praise upon the telephone man for putting him under control.

LISBON. — Facing a frame-up charge of "rape," Robert Harris, age 18, who is in county jail will be defended by the LLD. The oldest son and only support of a family, Robert was recently put on a CWA job as water-boy, and his family taken off relief. As he was going to a spring, he passed three young girls on their way to school. Suddenly a foreman on the job grabbed him and accused him of assaulting one of them, nine years old. The foreman took him to the mayor's office, where a farcical "hearing" was held, without the presence even of the child he was accused of "assaulting." In spite of terror and torture, he pleaded not guilty. Wesley of Houston were married; Sunday. The couple left Wednesday for the South. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bulluck have returned from Lexington, Ky.

Brickner handed our people a couple of "daisies" in his address, last week Monday night, at one of our local churches. Many are just a little curious to learn what Rabbi A. H. Silver will hand them next Tuesday evening. The Rounder host a lecture with a boy without "throwing a shoe" like his well-known co-worker did, last week Monday evening. Wards 11, 17 and even Ward 18 have one or more Afro-American inspectors at the garbage plant. Only Ward 12 seems to be left out in the cold in this respect. A few weeks ago, it was announced that Capt. James Beckwith was to have an inspectorship, but that report seems to be "a false alarm." Surely our people of Ward 12 are invited to attend as well as Wards 11, 17 and 18. As the matter stands now, The Rounder has been unable to learn that any one of them has a job half as good as that of an inspector. Gene Ray, a local correspondent, lists Rew, R. M. Caver, H. C. Hrable, L. J. Van Pelt and another one of our local ministers as candidates for the chaplaincy at Warrensville given the first named, who succeeds Rev. Horace C. Balley. Ray says that Caver, before the primaries, was bitterly opposed to the candidacy of the present mayor former Governor Calvin Dalley. This doubtfully true because it seems that Caver "played in the Blossom Triplets' back-yard," politically, for some time, and they were opposed to the Davis candidacy. His appointment, Ray says, has aroused considerable indignation, particularly among the Baptists of the city because Dr. Balley, whom Caver replaces as chaplain at Warrensville, is our oldest and most popular He fought in ALL the charter campaigns with the editor of The Gazette and Mayor Harry L. Davis. Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and several other northern states have anti-lynching laws which are almost verbatim copies of Ohio's effective pioneer Mob Violence Act. At least one "border state" (Kentucky) also has an effective anti-lynch-murder law. The "states apparently powerless to act in cases of lynching" are those that have no such law. Leading jurists and statesmen, members of the U. S. Congress, for years have held that only the states of the Union have the right to legislate against mob violence. That is one of the main reasons why no federal order in violence or anti-lynch-burden bill bills was ever passed in the Congress. It was this fact that caused the writer to introduce and secure the enactment of Ohio's pioneer Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching law when a member of the State Assembly in 1896. SENATOR GREEN HIGHLY HONORED Again by the Cleveland Bar Association in Connection with Its Preparations for the Andrew Squire Funeral. Senator John P. Green, E. 107th St., was honored, the first of the week, with an appointment by Edward Bushnell, president of the Cleveland Bar Association, as a member of a committee to represent the association at the funeral of Atty. Andrew Bushnell and to promote others on the committee were: James R. Garfield (chair), Emil Joseph, J. M. Henderson, J. A. Smith, A. C. Dustin and Chas. P. Hine. At the large dinner meeting of the association in Allerton Hotel, Tuesday evening, Mr. Garfield read the memorial which was adopted by a rising vote, the members standing for a minute in silence (all will be held that minute). Green, Messrs. Smith and Hender. J. B. Senator John P. Green. son and Mr. Squire were honored at a dinner, a year ago, by the Cleveland Bar Association of which they were the four oldest members. Tuesday evening, Mr. Green spoke of his memories of Mr. Squire and read a letter he wrote to him, some time later, asking him to celebrate Mr. Squire on his many years' successful practice of the law. The Senator also read Mr. Squire's reply which carried a similar message. Messrs. Smith and, Henderson were kept from the meeting by illness, while the Senator was present and is still "going strong." practice of the law. "The Old Reliable" Gazette very pleasant visits, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The memorial outlined Mr. Squire's life and his career as a lawyer. "Here was a gentleman of the old school," it said, "a man of sturdy honesty and integrity, combining common sense with great wisdom and ability, a strong friendly man universally loved and honored." Andrew Squire was one of the wealthiest residents of Cleveland and the leading corporation attorney in this section of the country. When Senator Green was a Cleveland Justice of the Peace in 1873 (elected for nine years), Atty. Squire practiced in his court which had greater jurisdiction than the present municipal court has. "BOLPHING!" The Editor of "The Gazette" to ad dress the Thirtieth Ward Rep- ublican Club, Tuesday Eve- ning, on Lynching. * Cleveland, O., Jan. 8, '34. Hon. C. Smith, C. Smith. Editor: G. C. Smith. My Esteemed Friend Harry:— Many members of the Thirtieth Ward Republican club have asked me to extend you an invitation to address the club and its friends on Tuesday evening, Jan. 16, '34, at eight o'clock at the club's rooms, 13917 Kinsman Rd. Needless to say, that while the invitation comes from the members, it is also my personal wish that you accept this invitation and speak on the subject that is at present the topic in the pulpits and social organizations, lynching. I am of the same opinion, that you are, regarding the subject, and we should at any and all times educate those whose minds are not yet fully aware of whose hearts are blacker than the skins of some of those who are lynched, or the hearts and minds of those who take the law in their own hands. I trust that you will accept this invitation, and let me know at an early date so that the same can be given full publicity. With kind personal regards, I beg to remain Very truly yours.

Birmingham, Ala.—Nelson Jackson, head of the "Negro" case department, will be transferred to a transient division in order to prevent him from again giving dictation to a white stenographer. This was the statement made by W. P. Price, the chief of Federal Transient Bureau. Miss Keen, the white stenographer in question, says a "Negro stenographer had been employed to take Jackson's dictation for the past few days." Anti-Semitism (like American color and race prejudice) constitutes a challenge both to the Christian and to the Jew, Rabbi Abraham Noak asserted in his lecture at the Community Temple, Coventry School, Cleveland Heights, Monday morning. He charged that slanders of the defunct Dearborn Independence School or consciously or unconsciously, affect both men of letters and scientists in their attitudes toward the Jew. P Ever since "The Blossom Triplets" (former Councilman Clayborne George, Councilman Payne a and Bundy) secured jobs, several weeks ago, thru Mr. Maurice Macke, former leader of the local Republican organization, there have been rumors of pay for the same being exacted from the workers given jobs and of sums paid for other positions and jobs. There were rumors that jobholders in the 11th and 17th Wards were required to pay $1 every pay-day designated by the councilman. Not until this week has there been any definite information in support of any of these rumors. We are giving herewith the sword statement of Troy Thomas, a World War veteran who was given a job in the white wings department of the city's service and "fired" after his second pay-day because of his steadfast refusal to pay the money into the club organization he says Councilman Lawrence O. Payne demanded. The forced "contributions," each pay-day, of the poorest paid city employees, just when they need so greatly every dollar they can earn, is a species of levying tribute for ward-organizer or others, the 12th Ward was guilty of a year or more ago, and a miserable precedent for a Republican organization to follow when times are worse than they were a few years ago. Troy Thomas* **Ardwell**. State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County, SS. Before me, a Notary Public, in and for said county, personally appeared Troy Thomas, a veteran of the World War residing at 2378 E. 46th St., who being by me duly sworn deposes and says as follows: On November 19, 1933, I was given a small sheet of paper to a superintendent in the street department, located at the corner of E. 24th St. and Rockwell Ave. Clever St. W. who secured me a position in the white coat, and I was placed to work on Prospect Ave, between Ontario St. and E. 9th St. This slip of paper, referred to in the foregoing, was given to me by Councilman Lawrence O. Payne in Mr. Payne's office, 2321 E. AN APPRECIATION In memory of Mrs. E. P. Shores, our beloved mother and grandmother who departed this life, Jan. 10, 1930: Positively Silly. DEPLORES ANTI-SEMITISM Rabbi Nowak Says It Is a Challenge to Christian and Jew. "Christianity's answer must be the preachment and practice of a liberalism which will recognize the true essence of religion, will speak the truth regardless of consequences and will move governments to legislate against anti-Semitic (all anti-trace) agitation." he said. 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 compilations with any will immediately establish its status as one of the most influential NIH publications in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. 55th St. My first pay-day was on or about Dec. 9, 1933. A few days after my first pay-day, Councilman Payne met me a few doors from my home, which is located at 2378 E. 46th St., and said to me: You know when these jobs were given, everyone agreed to give a dollar to Ward Republican sub., and I said: "It wasn't explained to me and I don't know anything about it." A few days later, he sent my precinct committeeman (Means) to me who said: "Payne said come over or else send that dollar," and I told him I wasn't going anywhere and refused to send the dollar. The third day after I got paid, about Dec. 12 or 13, 1933, the foreman (Greer) I met to me on E. 4th St. and told me I had better go and see Payne. And I said: "For what?" He said: "For that dollar you are supposed to pay." He told me that I wouldn't work any longer if I didn't pay it. On or about Dec. 18, 1933, I received my second pay and was told by Foreman Greer to come to his home on Sunday, Dec. 31, 1933, for a club meeting. At the meeting, I met the Councilman Greer wanted to see me. And I said: "For what?" He said: "For that dollar. You haven't paid any." I said: "I will see him," and he said: "You can't catch him at the office now, but be sure to go to his home and see him." After the meeting, went to Mr. Payne's room in and asked if I was or was not going to pay the money. I told him I didn't see that I should pay any dollar for my job. He told me that I wouldn't have any job and it wasn't any use for him to hold the gate open for one man because all the rest were paying it. I told him if it did cost me my job. Foreman Greer fired me on Jan. 6, 1934. (Signed) Troy Thomas Sworn to before me and signed in my presence by said Troy Thomas this the 11th day of January, 1934. (Signed) Max S.

The Editor Opens the Cedar "Y" Forum's Lecture Series with a Discussion of the Popular Tesla, The Lecture The Cedar "Y" Forum lecture series for 1934 started off, Monday evening, most auspiciously indeed. The attendance was large and the interest unusually gratifying. The speaker of the evening was the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette and his subject was "Lynch-Murder." For nearly an hour, Mr. Smith discussed mob-violence and the anti-lynch-murder laws of the north, nearly all of which are based upon Ohio's pioneer mob violence act or anti-lynching law, the wonderfully deterrent effect of which has stopped to the minimum lynching particularly, and mob violence in general, in this state and a number of others here in the north. It is the most effective legislation against the mob in this country. A question period followed the editor's exceptionally interesting address. Carl C. Thompson, vice-sec of the Oedar "Y," opened the meeting and introduced John D. Johnson who made an excellent presiding officer, conducting the question period very cleverly indeed. The Cedar "Y" Forum's next speakers will be Dr. W. M. Kroggman of W. R. U., Jan. 22; A. O. Berger of Fenn College, Feb. 5; P. R. Ander of Fenn College, Feb. 26; P. R. Tucker of W. R.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1934 A PAYNE AND A CRIPPLE Robert Lawson, more than 50 years of age, 2354 E. 30th St., was given a letter to Mayor Harry L. Davis, several weeks ago, which the latter read and promptly promised him a job. The first of last week when Robert, better known as "Hoofey" Lawson, went to the mayor again, the latter sent a man with him to Service Director Wm. Eirick to request him to give "Hoofey" the job promised. The Director sent "Hoofey" to Street Commissioner Jack Tomson with instructions to the latter to "place Hoofey." Jack told him to return immediately to Director Eirick. It seems that in the brief period between the time "Hoofey" left Eirick and got to Tomson, Councilman Lawrence Payne registered with Eirick a lusty "kick" against "Hoofey's" being given a job, so "Hoofey" claims. Now wasn't that fine? The strong, healthy councilman fighting a little cripple who has been out of work for about two years and who is unable to assist a sister, partially dependent upon him. Hurrah for Payne! a "Blossom Triplet." "Hoofey" has been a "slave" to the Republican organization, in that section of the city, for many, many years and always a supporter of the councilman. There is positively no excuse Payne can offer that will justify his fight to keep "Hoofey" out of sorely needed employment. JUDGE FLORENCE ALLEN. After the Ohio Supreme Court's most harmful decision in the Doris Weaver case in which Judges Florence Allen and Carl V. Weygandt of this city and Lakewood heartily concurred, the N.A.A.C.P. announced publicly that when the Ohio Supreme Court judges signing that queer decision were candidates for re-election or for election to any other office that the organization would do everything in its power to help encompass their defeat because of their concurrence in the decision. It is currently rumored that the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. recently received ten dollars from Judge Florence Allen who desired to become a member of the organization. That the branch held the money longer than was necessary to call a meeting to authorize its return, is to be regretted because its officers are intelligent and generally believed to be loyal members of the race. The check has finally been returned to Judge Allen. Judge Wm. P. Stephenson, popular among the K.K.K. of the state and a member of the State Supreme Court who is that by some to have been a principal in the drawing of the very harmful Ohio Supreme Court Doris Weaver case decision. is urging Gov. George White to appoint Judge Florence Allen of the State Supreme Court to the federal judgeship vacancy in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals district, recently created by the death of Judge Smith Hickloenoper of Cincinnati. Judge Allen, as all of our readers will recall, and Chief Justice Carl V. Weygandt are understood to have been influenced to sign that decision in the Weaver case by Judge Stephenson. So the latter is evidently endeavoring to return the favor Judge Allen did him by helping her to get the appointment referred to. We do not believe that Gov. George White will make about all of our loyal self and race respecting voters in the state of Ohio his enemies by appointing Judge Allen to the position Judge Stephenson wants her to have. PUNISH THAT MOTOR-MAN. The Gazette has been asked, repeatedly in recent weeks, when the local N.A.A.C.P. branch is going to have that Scovill Ave. motorman Telephone Engineers Check Activities of Solar System to Improve Overseas Calls (Gabriel Farkas) arrested and punished for carrying a gun and for shooting that 15-year-old lad of the race who lives in E. 86th St. Two charges, one of toting a gun and another for the shooting, ought to be brot against him immediately, independent of his parents' suit for damages against the Cleveland Railway Company. It is oven more important, to our people of this community, that these charges be placed against Farkas than that the Cleveland Railway Company be sued for damages. The criminal case will help ALL of our people of this community while the civil case (for damages) will only help the family of the boy. This is a duty that the local N.A.A.C.P. branch owes our people, particularly. Since its organization, the branch has been given thousands of dollars by our people of Cleveland. They are entitled to this return. The two charges against Scovill Ave. motorman should be filed at once and pressed vigorously, for reasons stated. Teach the motormen and conductors of the Cleveland Railway Company what they do not even yet seem to know, and that is that they have no legal right to carry a gun and certainly no legal right to shoot any one who steals a ride on the street-cars. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for such criminal acts. Chief of Police Matowitz, some weeks ago, promised to press a "drive against gun-toting without let-up." The police made a very weak start, failed to "frisk" any of the motormen or conductors who still brag of the fact that they ARE toting guns, and arrested only one citizen whom they thot was carrying a gun. The N.A.A.C.P. local branch should "step on it." --- ATTENTION! Business men and women particularly should recognize the fact that advertising with circulars, bills and cards, distributed by hand or otherwise, are of little use in convincing a purchaser, and more often give him the impression that the thing advertised is an article of low quality. Those who seek to sell seemingly lose sight of the fundamental idea in advertising, namely, to give the thing advertised a legitimate appearance by advertising through circulars, because as a rule pay little attention to circular and handbill advertising because the medium through which it is advertised shares none of the responsibility as to the reliability of the thing advertised. THAT periodic interference that you hear in your radio may come from a source of disturbance 93,000,000 miles away. Although most sources of radio trouble are not nearly so remote, Bell System engineers have discovered that the gigantic influences of the sun play an important part in radio transmission conditions. These telephone engineers, who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of overseas telephone service which relies on radio from transmission from shore to shore, therefore constantly study the effects of solar activity. Affect Overseas Service At least one aspect of solar influence is familiar to everyone. That is the movements of the earth with respect to the sun, which provide night, day and the different seasons. Another factor, however, which is highly important to those concerned with radio telephone service involves the changes in solar activity and the rotation of the sun. For when solar conditions are abnormal, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the service at its normal high efficiency. When there is a departure from the normal with regard to radio transmission, the earth's magnetism, and the aurora borealis, a change in the activity of the sun is usually observed. Unusual appearances in certain areas of the sun generally accompany such changes in its activity. The most conspicuous of these are sun spots, the most noticeable of a series of phenomena which include bright patches on its surface, clouds of hydrogen and calcium gases, regions of shooting flames, increased in the Something Wrong! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We work hard by fooling ourselves into thinking everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of Afro-Americans is all wrong.

Engineers Check Solar System Overseas Calls streamers of the solar corona and changes in sun temperature. Vast Puzzle of the Cosmos The speed of solar rotation is so great that the earth only comes under the influences of disturbed areas of the sun as they periodically revolve. At such times as the earth becomes a good target, normal radio transmission is affected by the influences issuing from these regions. During the periods when these disturbances affect the earth, the signal intensity of short waves is reduced and radio telephone service is affected. In the case of very long waves, there is a slight improvement in the daytime, although they are somewhat lessened in strength at night. The European service is affected by these conditions to perhaps a greater extent than the other services. Check Solar Effects Bell System engineers are constantly sounding the upper atmosphere, which has so much to do with radio transmission, and have found many interesting facts related to solar and cosmic influences. While these studies have yielded many pieces of information destined to fit into the vast puzzle of the cosmos, there remains much to be learned by further scientific exploration. Thus it is that the engineers responsible for the maintenance of satisfactory overseas radio telephone service have such interest in these masters. The chief technical operator of the transatlantic radio telephone control room in New York City keeps a record of all solar activities and their effects on the radio telephone service. This information is studied carefully in order that it may become a factor in the improvement of the service. YOU KNOW ME 241 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 1900, the state of Kentucky has northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOB8. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob for the purpose of this chapter." An officer by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) 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 not be thereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, there being no such children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like rigit of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which giving recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counterfeit goods for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and 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 person 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 from such county for safekeeping, the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162 10). 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.

LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.N.R. ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG this on your map when you get it IN the near future Leader of A New Industry Leader of A New Industry SHIP, JACOB RUPPERT:—(By Mackay Radio) Whew! That was some crossing of the Pacific wasn't it? From Norfolk, Va., to Wellington, N. Z., and then smack into the ice pack bordering on the great Antarctic continent (if it is a continent)—all in a week. Well, any, how, here we are right in the middle of a most amazing world of icebergs, ice cakes, seals, whales and silly look penguins! The sudden change from America and New Zealand is more than my mind can take in all at once. In last week's story we were just In last week's leaving Norfolk. I have sent to the club editors by mail and radio twelve stories of our adventures on the long trip. You will probably never see those stories. Too much is happening with us and we've got to come up. leaving Norfolk. I have sent to the club editors by mail and radio twelve stories of our adventures on the long trip. You will probably never see those stories. Too much is happening with us and we've got to come up to Harold June date with this series right now. Two great events occurred here on December 20 and 22. Admiral Byrd made a magnificent four-hour flight of discovery over the ice of Ross Sea in the big Condor plane. And Klondyke had a caff! Some excitement! First, I'll tell you about the Admiral's great flight on the 22nd. He had been dreaming this flight for years. Already our great steel ship had gone further south into the ice than any ship in history. Commodore Gjertsen advised retreating to open water. Admiral Byrd had seen a big open bay in the closely packed ice and we circled around to its entrance. Then he notified Harold June, chief pilot, William Bowlin, relief pilot, J. A. Pelter, mapper, and Carl O. Petersen, radio man, to get ready. In the most beautiful and fantastic scene ever dreamed of, the huge 6-ton Curtiss-Wright Condor plane was hoist ed out on the big boom and dropped gently into the calm water and then the 46-foot Matthews motor boat cruiser was put over and took the plane in tow. Under Commander Noville, executive officer, great red drums of Tydol gasoline were rolled up on deck and 400 gallons put into the plane by hand. Then the cruiser towed the plane out into the ice-lined bay and cast off. This was 10:30 a. m. Up and down the bay June ran the flying ship, warming the engines. Then, like a magnificent sea bird, she took the air and circled for almost an hour over the Ruppert, while compasses, radio and other equipment were checked and tested. At 11:40, the Admiral signaled "We are heading south," and off they went, at 1500 feet. It took only fifteen minutes for the Condor to disappear in the distance. At 2:53 she was over the ship again after one of the most important exploration flights ever made—from 6631 South 149.5 West along the 150th Meridian to 70 South—350 miles further south than the record made by Captain Cook on the same meridian in 1773. Mark ONE of the leading figures in what promises to be a great new American industry is Samuel Ungerleider, President and Chairman of the Board of the Distillers and Brewers Corporation of America, an outstanding business structure in the alcoholic beverage field. Prior to Prohibition, Mr. Ungerleider was one of the powers of the liquor industry and during recent years has demonstrated his exceptional abilities by his success in the banking and brokerage businesses. In a brief time, Mr. Ungerleider's company has created a complete national sales organization for the marketing of the closest whiskies, gins, brandies, wines, champagnes, The Admiral saw no land, but he saw miles of open water behind an ice pack not nearly as big or tough as it was supposed to be. So with new flights for guidance, it may be that we shall get our big steel ship further south safely than was dreamed possible. It is now December 26 and we have drifted around for days in a thick fog. And maybe this whole ship load wasn't excited about Klondyke last week (on the 20th). We had suddenly plunged into an ocean of icebergs. The first I had ever seen. Never will I forget it. We passed more than a thousand in sixteen hours—like huge ships or glistening apartment buildings. In the water between there were thousands of shiny broken pieces of bergs. Admiral Byrd and Commodore Gljertsen told me they had never seen so many at one time in all their trips. The Admiral said, "Only an undulating and extensive barrier coast could produce bergs in such large numbers. Somewhere hereabouts is a barrier which may be considerably larger than the great Ross ice barrier fronting on the Ross Sea. If that's the case and we're lucky enough to find it, the eastward search for the coast of the Antarctic continent may be ended." But at ten o'clock in the morning our thoughts were taken violently off of icebergs and everything else except Klondyke. At that hour she increased the population of the Byrd Expedition to the extent of one full-blooded Guernsey bull-calf. It was a hectic time on the Jacob Ruppert and it was a huge event for Messrs. Cox and Clark, two of our ex-Navy men. For weeks they had been consulting charts, calendars, the ship's log book and Captain Verleger, because they had promised the donor of our three cows that the first calf would be born within the Antarctic circle. This would have happened except for a couple of days of fog and the terrific gale that slowed us down last Sunday, and they missed it by 247 miles! The happy event took place in the cow shed on deck next to the studio of David Paige, our artist. An able seaman, Fred Dustin, was first to know of it. We were all watching a berg four miles long when he yelled "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" and went racing for the Messrs. Cox and Clark and Dr. Shirey, our medico. Commander George Noville tells me he is very fond of veal chops. I understand the maps we are going to send without cost to every member of the Little America Aviation and Exploration Club will be ready by January 10th. Those already members will receive them automatically. Non-members should become members right away, at no cost, by sending me a self-addressed stamped envelope at the Club's American headquarters, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y., so they can mark this flight on the map.

All our readers will please “The Old Reliable” Gazette greatly it they patronize the May Co, in preference to other large stores in the city be- cause that company gives employ- ment to a goodly number of our girls and men, Be sure to read their vdvertisement elsewhere in this pa- per, Again The Gazette wishes to say that the failure of our people of this city to secure the representation they are entitled to in the Mayor's cabinet is to be laid at the door of “The Biossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy). They turned their backs on their own people in this matter just as they did in the fosom-City Hospital matter, many months ago. Had they made proper representation to Mayor Harry L. Davis in time, instead of opposing the appointment of a member of the race to the Mayor's cabinet, there 1s no doubt but that we would have been given at least one directorship. Our local ministers and organiza- tions, and all thotful members of the ‘race should show decidedly more interest in the cases of our lads and others who are ruthlessly shot down in the streets by street- car employees and the police. What is being done tc punish that Scovill Ave, motorman who shot the E. 86th St. boy who was stealing a ride on the car, recently? His parents’ suit against the Cleveland Railway Co. for damages is not enough. That motorman should be punished for carrying a gun, contrary to law, as PROPEST! PRODENT!!

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C., news service. FALCON ISLAND, the "island that never stands still," is on the move again according to recent reports. The eastern wall of the crater has the same profile as the western wall but its summit rises only 200 feet above sea level. On the east it slopes It is doubtful if any land has been built up and cut down so often within in the recollection of man as has this island. Located in the southeastern part of the Tongue, or Friendly group of islands in the South Pacific, it has appeared, then disappeared from sight at least twice. In October, 1927, an eruption occurred which raised it high above the level of the sea and brought it to the attention of men the world over. Since that time newspapers of many countries have published articles concerning its reappearance. Lavas have been reported flowing down its sides and great clouds of ash and steam rising severel thousand feet above it. The location of Falcon island is latitude 20 degrees 19 minutes S. and longitude 175 degrees 25 minutes W. If one could examine a geological map of this general region, he would find that all the volcanic islands lie in a straight line which runs in a north-northeast and south-southwest direction. Beginning with Mount Ruaphu, in North island, New Zealand, through the Kermadee islands, continuing through Ata (Pyistnart), Honga Tonga, Falcon, Tofun, Kao, Metis, Late, and Fanualal. (Amargur), the volcanic islands of Tonga, and terminating in Samoa, this line includes one of the greatest chains of active and dormant volcanoes in the world. It represents a line of weakness in the earth's crust and along it from time to time molten material is ejected. The world is made aware of these ejections only when the material reaches the surface and forms islands or shoals. It is very probable, however, that in many places along the line there are submarine volcanoes of, whose existence no knowledge has ever been obtained. If one were to predict where the next new island in this part of th world would appear, it would be fairly safe to say somewhere along this line. Practically all the other islands of the region are of nonvolcanic rock, chiefly limestone. Growth From a Shoal. The island received its name when H. M. S. Falcon visited the spot in 1865 and reported a shoal. Twelve years later H. M. S. Sappho reported smoke to be issuing from the sea at the same position. In 1885 a submarine volcano burst suddenly into activity and built up a mound which, after a year of intermittent eruption, reached a height of at least 200 ft. In 1889, H. M. S. Egeria visited the island and Mr. J. J. Lister, an English geologist on board, made some careful observations. He found that during the four years since its formation the action of the sea had removed a large portion of the island, and that only about a third of the original mound remained. He calculated the maximum height of the island at that time to be 153 feet. Further observations were made by the British admiralty in August, 1895. Falcon island extended 800 yards in a northeast-southwest direction and 700 yards in a northwest-southeast direction. It was nearly circular in form and only 40 feet above water. In July, 1898, it was reported to have disappeared and its site was occupied by a shoal 100 yards in extent on which the sea broke heavily. Thus it took the sea, the rain, and the wind only thirteen years to cause an island with a maximum diameter of about two miles and a height of 290 feet to disappear completely. There is a popular misconception that islands of this sort disappear by actual sinking. Their disappearance, however, is due solely to the levelling action of the agents of erosion. Two years later, the shoal to which Falcon island had been reduced was showing about 10 feet above the water at the northern end—probably the result of wave action which concentrated the material to leeward. In this condition it was subsequently piled above sea level by the southeast trade winds. In 1913, H. M. S. Cormoran reported that the island had disappeared once more. Finally the most violent eruption on record occurred in October, 1927. From that time until the present, minor eruptions, separated by periods of quiescence, have added slightly to the size of the mound. Called "New Place" by Natives. The native name for Falcon island is Fonna Foo (New Place). It lies about 50 miles to the northwest of Nukualofa, Tongatabu island of the Tonga group. The crater lies on the southeast coast. Its location here is obviously determined by the southeast trade winds, which during and after eruption carry the fine material to the northwest. The waves, driven by these same trades, continue the work and constantly eat into the southeast side, shifting the material to the northwest to build an extensive shoal. The eastern wall of the crater has the same profile as the western wall, but its summit rises only 200 feet above sea level. On the east it slopes gently to the top of the sea cliff, while on the west it descends more abruptly to the floor of the crater. The bottom of the crater is elliptical in outline and most of its surface is covered by a boiling lake, shaped roughly like a figure eight. The waters in the seaward loop of the figure are a deep, milky green, but in the landward loop they fade to yellowish white. Steam rises from the water and clouds of it drift lazily up the northwest wall. Parts of the lake boil incessantly; other areas bulge upward periodically, bringing black sediment from below. The crater rim is breached to the southwest, where only a small bit of the original wall remains. This remnant is about 20 feet high and is composed of bedded scoria and ash. On either side of it the storm waves have free access over a low, porous barrier of reworked scoria, through which the lake waters rise and fall with the tide. The lake is surrounded with ash and sulphur flats, dotted with steam jets, the latter more abundant on the steep western side of the crater than elsewhere. Around the flat is a narrow band of gently sloping land, trenched with V-shaped gullies and grading above into the steep walls of the crater. These are vertically futed, and in the depressions many steam vents issue. These have deposited quantities of sulphur and other substances, giving the walls a strange appearance, Yellow, orange, or white gullies alternate with the drab ridges. What the Crater is Like What the Crater Is Like. The crater lake and the vividly colored walls are the first impression received while standing on the eastern edge. A closer inspection shows that there are really two craters, a younger one with steep sides lying within an older one. The crater wall is composed largely of fine ash and scoria, but scattered over its surface are numerous volcanic bombs and blocks of solid lava. Most of the bombs are small, but a few reach a length of more than two feet. They are roughly spindle-shaped and represent masses of lava that were thrown out in liquid condition and solidified while still in the air. Many are exceedingly porous, owing to the escape of inclosed gases; others show a concentric banding made by uniform cooling and contraction. Some of the solid angular blocks of lava exceed three feet in diameter. A few are porous, others dense. In most places it is impossible to descend the crater walls, because the slopes of the poorly consolidated scoria approach 80 degrees. One may, however, without great difficulty, slip and slide down one of the several steep gullies to the crater floor. Here one unconsciously pauses before proceeding farther. On all sides are sputtering and whistling steam vents, which issue from walls that are beautifully mottled in many shades of yellow, orange and gray. It is rather a weird experience to walk out on the delta that separates the two lobes of the lake. The ground is hot beneath the feet, and off the lake comes a withering blast of fetid air. Each steam jet has a hiss, whistle, or sputter of its own. These sounds do not carry far, and as one walks across the flat they quickly replace each other. A low, quietly sputtering vent passes out of hearing and almost between one's feet. Pumice and fragments of lava lie scattered everywhere. One expects momentarily to break through, yet the ground seems solid enough. The surface of the delta is incrusted with brilliantly colored sulphurous deposits and tiny balls of greenish sulphur litter the surface below with a line of pumice that marks high-tide level. The waters of the lake near the edge of the delta boll noisily and have a vile taste. The noises, the odors, and the heat oppress the watcher's mind with a feeling of impending activity. It is with a mild sigh of relief that one reaches the top of the crater wall without mishap. The present Falcon island lies far from steamer lanes. Yet the waves have already washed an odd assortment of foreign objects upon its shores. Wooden boards, bottles, fragments of glass, shells, bits of seaweed, and coral are found mixed with the scoria of the lee shore. Fragments of coconut are exceedingly abundant.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1934 About Swagger Crochet Accessories About Swagger Crochet Accessories 10 WOULDN'T you just love to be the proud possessor of some one, or for that matter, all the dress accessories here pictured? There are thousands of the us that always count on after the holidays as the time to "do fancy work." Such fun as it will be to work on these pretty things during the long and tedious midwinter hours! And think of the joy of having a collection of these swagger dress accessories in readiness to wear with your spring and summer frocks. These dainty little fancies are actually crocheted (the sailor collar is knit) from crepe paper. There has been quite a lot of crepe paper items going the rounds this season but we think the ones we are here showing are smarter and more outstanding than any which have gone before. The best of it is the expense is next to nothing, for the crepe paper of which they are made costs but a few pen-nies. If you have in your wardrobe a simple dark dress that needs a bit of "life" or some good old standby frock that needs a new look, one of these nifty little crochets is sure to "do the trick." One of the joys of making these items is the fact that the crepe paper comes in as many as fifty delectable colors and you can work any color scheme your costume calls for. And what's more, nobody ever dreams that they are made of crepe paper. In this limited space it is not possible to give detailed instructions "how to make," which need worry you not SUBDEB'S DRESSES Vibrant coats, suits and dresses have been made this season for the subdeb. With her shirtwaist dress, floor-length evening wrap, and "hostess" gown, she needn't take a back seat when big sister is around. Evening wraps designed especially for her include a white bengaline mandarin coat with jade dragon buttons and a long, black velvet with white fur puffs on the upper part of the sleeves. An unusual laced treatment marks the neck of a black silk frock. The lacing is spaced to give a shirred, soft drape to the neckline. Other dresses for the jeune fille are accented with ruffs and draped crew collars. Her evening frocks comprise a velvet creation with flowers clustered at the throat, and one with white ribbed metal cloth top and black skirt. Shoes Are Going Higher and Higher Up the Instep With shoes going higher and higher up the instep, the matter of trim fit has become a real problem. The whole beauty of this extreme type of shoe lies in the perfect molded look over the instep and around the ankle. To meet this situation designers have resorted to various expedients. One exceedingly smart black suede shoe, perfectly plain and mounting well up on the ankle has narrow elastic insets on the side, after the manner of the old Congress guitars. When the shoe is pulled on it fits like a glove and is exceedingly flattering to the foot. The side-lacing oxford is another expedient which combines utility with chic. Velvet makes many fashionable fancies in the new winter mode. In plain, plaid, ribbed, crinkled and quilted weaves it adds a note of novelty and contrast to both daytime and evening costumes. at all for it is possible to obtain working directions at most any place where materials for paper handcraft are sold. We might say, however, that the swapper collar, cuff and belt set photographed on the standing figure is done in the favorite fish net stitch. The set pictured is in a lovely Chinese red and the dress is beige. Fish net, by the way, is one of the easiest stitches to do and with the crepe paper you get a true fish-net lace effect. The sailor collar, sketched to the left at the top, is a youthful design. It is knit, instead of crocheted, of white crepe paper with a contrasting strand of the paper drawn through between the border and the collar. The buttons are a matching red. The sporty girdle or belt, sketched to the right above, is crocheted from brown crepe paper, cut in strips, stretched and twisted. The crocheting is done in the favorite popcorn stitch and the finished effect in the brown is distinctly that of leather. Brass buttons set this girdle off to perfection. The vest and cuff set, sketched below to the right, is decidedly out of the ordinary. Taking its inspiration from armor that knights wore in days of old, the designer most appropriately refers to it as the tournament set. The original of this sketch was made of jade green paper. Worn with a simple black dress it is very effective. It is also good looking with a crepe dress in matching green. © 1923, Western Newspaper Union. NEW WAYS OF FUR By CHERIE NICHOLAS 10 Out-of-the-ordinary fur trimmings on cloth coats are giving us something new to think about this season. The model pictured is especially likable since it accents two outstanding trimming trends. The one is the fur jacket top which is carried out to a nicety in this instance. The other is the fur epaulet effects which are so widely exploited as a means of arriving at the wide shoulder silhouette which fashion demands at present. The model pictured is of gray wool with fur of matching gray kidskin. With it is worn a peaked hat of black velour, gray kid opera pumps with light gray banding, and black gloves and bag.

Clayborne George's political career in this city, during the past six or seven years, is hardly a thing to be proud of when one considers it from a race-loyalty viewpoint. This same is true of the political careers of the other two "Blossom Triplets," Councilmen Payne and Bundy. When will our people ever wake-up to their kind? It is simply impossible for those of the race in any community to progress with such political loads on their backs. According to our conferee, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of the Councilman (O) Union, Cincinnati has burdened with much the same kind of pressure that New York block, only worse if that be possible, in the person of one Councilman Frank Hall, who was defeated at last fall's election, when our people of this city should have rid themselves of the Payne-Bundy political incubus. Whither are we drifting. THE WOMAN WHO COOKED THE BEST COFFEE Miss Ethel Shutta, whose beautiful voice has entranced thousands of listeners, has discovered a new after-the-theater beverage.

DAVIS' CABINET BECAUSE OF "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" Who Again Turn Their Backs on Their Own People for Small Jobs for Constituents, Most of Whom, Like Themselves, Were Not Loyal to Davis. A pledge to do everything in his power to protect the merit system in public employment was made, last night, by Clayborne George, who yesterday was appointed by Mayor Harry L. Davis as a member of the Civil Service Commission for a six-year term to succeed Harry E. Davis.—Sunday's Plain Dealer, Dec. 31, '33 therefore, that his appointment of last Saturday to the Civil Service Commission, irritates rather than pleases the great mass of the loyal members of the race in this community. Hon. Harry E. Davis, who has been chairman of the Civil Service Commission for a year or two, was the first Afro-American to be Four years ago, last fall, Councilman Clayborne George, when a candidate for re-election to City Council, made a pledge to his constituents when campaigning for votes, "to do all in his power to help out Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom, for his color-line stand in barring our internets from tracing City Hospital and barring our girls training school in that public institution, maintained by all the tax-payers of the community. Did he keep that pledge? HE DID NOT! What is his latest "pledge" worth when one recalls his broken pledge of four years age? With the election of Mayor Harry L. Davis, George was that to be in line for a cabinet post but (early in November last) made it plain that did not aspire to be Saturday's Cleveland News, Dec. 30, 2013. Then George joined with the other two "Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne and Bundy) and went to Mayor Davis pleading for the appointment as a cabinet member of a member of another group which was mayor's cabinet in the person of mayor's cabinet in the person of Law Director Ezra Shapiro. Apparently, "The Blossom Triplets" were determined that our people should not have such representation, even one member of the Mayor's cabinet, when one member of the vote constitutes practically one-third of the Republican vote of the city of Cleveland and there are seven members of the PORTE SAN SAN PETER H. BURKE Mayor's cabinet. Lord, have mercy! What is the pledge of such a man? Six years ago, the Hon. Harry E. Davis, whom George succeeds, was appointed a member of the city's Civil Service Commission. Whereupon Clayborne George, a Republican member of the City Council, announced, publicly of course, that he would NOT vote for the confirmation of the Davis appointment but intended to vote for Davis' Democratic opponent. Ex-Councilman Orlikowski, and stuck to that determination right up to the very night the Council acted. It was only the presses of our community that finally forced him to vote for Davis' confirmation. Even then he arose in Council and gave that august body the silhouet "explanation" (of his vote) ever heard in the Council chamber of this city. Now he has been appointed to succeed Davis the he is a "lame-duck" councilman who at the recent election polled the smallest vote, as a candidate for a judgeship of the Municipal Court, ever recieved by an elected member for that position. He simply was not in the race at all, judging by the small vote he received. Our people of this community, for good and sufficient reasons, simply could not "see" his candidacy. George had served six years in City Council and his constituency was for the Councilmanic district had absolutely nothing to show for the three terms he served. His support of Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom in the City Hospital controversy was not enough, it seems. Now comes his somewhat similar act of disloyalty to the race in his opposition to the appointment of a member of the race to membership in the Mayor's cabinet, and his support of a number of another group, which was already represented in the Mayor's cabinet, again turning his back on his own people. Little wonder, therefore, that his appointment of last Saturday to the Civil Service Commission, irritates rather than pleases the great mass of the loyal members of the race in this community. Hon. Harry E. Davis, who has been chairman of the Civil Service Commission for year or two, was the first non-American to be a member of that body. He was appointed in 1927 when the commission was elected by the City Council. He had served four terms in the Ohio Legislature. Immediately after Mayor Davis' election in November, some of George's friends started to urge his appointment as a member of the Mayor's cabinet, but George indicated that he did not want such a position, saying that our people did not ask what were not expecting recognition at the time you imagine it? The civil service commissioner's pay has been cut 25 percent — to $2250 a year, while a cabinet member gets more than twice that amount. The defeat of Clayborne George's candidacy for a municipal judgement was expected, because too many of our people were opposed to his candidacy for several very good reasons, first, being his disloyal course in the Blossom-City Hospital matter. Next, his utter failure, as far as our people or the fourth councilmanic district or the mayor, was a member of the City Council. Then there was the very general belief that he lacked, woefully in several respects, the essential necessary to fit him for a judgement. The fact is, he did not make as good a showing as our other candidates for the position in the past—Attys Alex. H. Martin and Wm. R. Green (deceased). However, in the case, it will be the role of wisdom for them that only those candidates of other groups or races are favored by our people who live in wards that give our candidates for office the "break" they ask.
