PARTY UNITY.
The Gazette has often wondered what John A. Elden of this city, for many months a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, did during the recent campaigns, or at any other time, that caused former Leader Maurice Maschke, to back former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan for the nomination, formally announcing the latter's candidacy, a few weeks ago for the first time. Every experienced politician knows that with two candidates in this county for the nomination, Cuyahoga is thereby put out the running, the polling balance of success for either Elden or Morgan. No one knows this better than Mr. Maschke, nor is the Elden-Morgan conflict calculated to promote "party unity" in this political balkwick, something absolutely necessary if Republicans are to win, this fall, and "capture the county offices."
The defeat of the regular candidate for president of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican clubs, the defeat of Herman Kohn for president of the City Council, the defeat of Martin A. McCormack for member of the board of elections and the smothering of the incipient candidacy of Mrs. Carl H. Hanna for the same position are hardly results that will promote "party unity" but are pretty generally regarded as stones in Mayor Harry L. Davis' path that are not calculated "to keep the party intact" and political results that are not calculated "to struggle" two years from now, which in all probability will start this fall. They are unquestionably sure "to create a schism" in the ranks of the Republican party of this county.
HEAR! HEAR!
The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
The Young People's Progressive League of the 12th Ward is not a Democratic club as announced in The Gazette, last week, but is non-political, says Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader of that ward. The club was organized for the purpose of advancing the general welfare of our people, both economically and socially, and to open up avenues of employment, especially for our young people, Dr. Rodgers says.
B. C. Colson of the 16th Ward says that there is no Afro-American Republican club in that ward and that the ward-organization has refused to admit our voters. He also says that "about six years ago, the Republican Bee club was organized in the Quincy E. 79th St. section. A few years ago, the Mutual Republican club was organized in the Kinsman section." Judging from the above, it looks as if the ward is for the 1500 Afro-American voters in the ward, if what Mr. Colson says is true. It is difficult to believe that there is a Republican organization in the city of Cleveland that refuses admission to Afro-American Republicans.
Current rumor has it that Councilman Bundy has named the organization of councilmen from our four wards, 11 (Payne), 12 (Finkle), 17 (Bundy) and 18 (George-Hubbard). "The Syndicate." This combination was the one given over 200 jobs, some weeks ago, soon after the mayor or took office and announced that the ward leaders would not be permitted to distribute the jobs, the result being that in many outlying sections of the city, a great deal of industry is factified in the ranks of the party with the statement that only Jewish and colored Republicans were being given jobs. This charge had considerable foundation in fact and is still being made to the detriment of both races and the Republican party of the city of Cleveland and is to be deplored. The Rounder does not believe that Mayor Harry L. Davis is directly responsible for this condition.
As The Rounder remarked, last week, the complaints are growing daily as a result of the lack of proper management at the Portland-Outhwaite Center. One good story is told indicating what all generally agree is that institution's greatest need just at this time, and this is the story: It seems that a hold-over institution called attention. Monday evening, to the fact that the pool had to be emptied, cleaned and refilled with clean water containing chloride. The "brother" in charge, to whom this was told by the hold-over, suggested that they wait until the next morning to do the job with the help of a couple of C. W. A. workers. Next morning, after the pool has been given its "bath," the "brother" in charge gravely and solemnly informed the hold-over that all the work had been done except putting the "chloroform" in the water in the pool.
Last week Thursday, a local daily paper carried the following article: Heads City Department
Samuel Terrell, an employee (assistant superintendent) of the city garbage department, today was elevated to superintendent of maintenance and garbage collection at an increase in salary of $3.20 a month, Service Director Eirick announced. Terrell was assistant superintendent of the garbage plant up to Thursday. Just how the "$3.20 a

My dear Mr. Smith:—I herein acknowledge the receipt of the extra numbers of The Gazette sent to me.
I passed them on to other readers and told them that in the columns of our most valuable paper, The Gazette, are found important, worthwhile truths for all peoples, but especially for Afro-Americans, that are found in no other paper or periodical.
The heroism with which you strike the baneful evil, lynching, is in my estimation great and worthy of commendation. Keep it up! "The pen is mightier than the sword." I liken Them to the sword.
Very truly yours,

As a matter of fact, it is NOT an elevation but just the opposite. When Sam's successor is appointed, he will find himself under that individual and amenable to his orders rather than above and independent of them. It looks very much to The Rounder, and many others, as if Councilman Payne is fooling Sam in order to get his place for someone else. Watch and see!

NOW THE OFFICIAL TO TAKE THE THOMASPAYNE CASE INTO THE COURTS
President Green of the Civil Service Commission
Announced at Its Investigation, Last
Monday Morning.
fresh and
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, the Civil Service Commission started its investigation of the Troy Thomas-sCouncilman Lawrence O. Payne affidavit, as announced at its session the Monday morning previous. President George Green, who presided, said that the commission had decided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter, because Thomas was a laborer and because Councilman Payne was an elected official, but emphatically stated that Payne was guilty of violating section 26 of the Constitution, and that the attorney should be investigated by the mayor, City Council or the county prosecutor. Since the mayor and the Council are both Republican, such action is hardly to be expected from them. But County Prosecutor Frank T. Cullitan is an aggressive and fearless Democrat who will undoubtedly take up the matter at an early date.
It will be recalled that, in substance, Troy Thomas, white-wing and World War veteran, said in his attitudit "that he was given a job in the white wings department of the city's service by Councilman Lawrence O. Payne in November last; that soon after his first pay-day on or about Dec. 9, 1933. Payne met E. Payne and told him when jobs like the one he held were given "everyone agreed to give a dollar of each pay to a 11th Ward Republican club;" that he told Payne he didn't "know anything about it;" that later his precinct committeeman told him "Payne said come over or else send that dollar;" that he told the committeeman that "he wasn't going anywhere" and that he told him when jobs like the third day after he got paid, about Dec 12, 1933, his foreman came to him and told him he had better go and see Payne; that he asked the latter replied, "for that dollar you are supposed to pay" and that "I wouldn't work any longer if I didn't pay" that on or about Dec. 28, 1933, when he received his second pay, whom he received to his "foreman" home on Dec. 31, 1933 for a club meeting; that at that meeting the foreman again told him that Councilman Payne wanted to see him; that he said "for what" and again he was told "for that dollar. You haven't paid any;" that the foreman told him "you can't catch him when he now office now put sure to go to his home and see him" that after the meeting he went to Payne's home, 2222 E. 40th St., where he was asked by Payne if he was or was not going to pay the dollar; that he (Thomas) replied, "I didn't see that I should pay any dollar for my job;" and that he (Payne) told him he wouldn't have any job and it wasn't any use for me; that he (Toole) to hold the gate open for one house been there were paying it;" that he (Thomas) told Payne regardless of that he wouldn't pay it; and that Gray (foreman) "fired" him (Thomas) on Jan. 6, 1934.
In an interview in the Plain Dealer of Jan. 14, 1934, Councilman Payne virtually admitted the truthfulness of salient parts of the Thomas as ifavidly which throw him automatically in direct contact with section 26 of the City Charter which reads as follows:
No member of Council shall, except in so far as is necessary in the performance of the duties of his office, directly or indirectly interfere in the conduct of the administrative department, or directly or indirectly take any part in the appointment, promotion or dismissal of any officer, or employee in the service of the city other than the officers or employees of the Council.
Accompanied by his legal representative, Atty. Max Manow, of 422 Schofield Bldg., the World War Veteran was promptly on time in the Civil Service Commission's rooms, City Hall, Monday morning at 10 o'clock, for the promised investigation. All three members of the commission, George Green, president; Judge dan B. Cull and former Councilman Clayborne George, were on hand. The investigation was made a brief one as a result of the president of President Green given above—the commission had no jurisdiction in the case that Payne was guilty of violating section 26 of the City Charter, and that the matter should be investigated by others than the Civil Service Commission. Atty. Manow secured a second statement of the foregoing fact from Mr. Green, an

the investigation closed without the five city employees (two colored) present being given an opportunity to testify. The result of the hearing was a splendid victory for the World War Veteran, Troy Thomas, because President Green was most emphatic in the very pertinent, telling and far-reaching statement he made. The matter is now one for county governor to handle and entirely too important to the city of Cleveland to be overlooked or side-tracked and, too, by a Democratic county official. Either the mandates of the City Charter are to be obeyed, or ignored! If the latter is to be the rule, then the city of Cleveland is without a legal basis to stand on and members of the City Council free to do as they please in all matters of vital concern to the municipality.
WHERE WAS JANE HUNTER?
His Thousand Didn't Get Him Anywhere with the White Control of the Phillis Wheatley Association—Refused a $5,000 Contract.
Cleveland, Feb. 5, '34.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, City.
Dear Sir: The other day a fire occurred in the old Phillis Wheatley building cor. E. The St. and Central Ave., causing nearly $5,000 damage. This building is owned by the Phillis Wheatley Association.
The tenants of the building are "Negroes." With all the unemployment "Negroes" especially have experienced lately, one would think that the management of the affairs of the Phillis Wheatley would have engaged some "Negro" contractor to make the damage. However, despite the fact that a "Negro" made a bid for the job, and it is said his bid was lower than any other, the job was turned over to a white contractor.
I understand the letting of the contract for this repair was in the hands of what is called a fiscal board of trustees, all white, headed by a white attorney by the name of Mark L. Thomsen and another white attorney by the name of Arthur D. Baldwin. It is said that in the scramble to let this contract to a white man certain white members of the so-called fiscal board of trustees of the Phillis Wheatley Association of Oaks holds with each other—one trying to get the contract for a firm in which he was interested, while another (who finally succeeded) was seeking to get the contract for a firm for which he was serving as attorney.
All of this going on while the poor "Negro" contractor, for the benefit of whose race the institution is supposed to exist, remains unemployed. And another strange thing is that this same "Negro" contractor who made the bid for the work, doing the campaign for the Phillis Wheeler building fund actually contributed $1,000 while the white contractor never even did the institution until he found out through his attorney that he could get some work out of it.
Just such doings as this seem to indicate that "Negroes" should be aroused and awakened to the condition they are facing on every hand. Are they to be forever made mofos of by certain designing "Negroes" and whites who ingratiate themselves into the confidence of "Negroes" and have themselves elected to membership on boards of various institutions only to use official connections to manipulate the affairs of these institutions for their personal benefit?
It's bad enough to lock the "Negro" contractor out of work on public and other buildings but to rob him of a chance to make a living by repairing (what is supposed to be) his own property is just about the limit.
("Negroes not own or control the Phillis Wheatley Association property." Editor).
Yours in the interest of fair play, George Burdick.
An unemployed "Negro" laborer.

In a letter, under date Feb. 3, ‘34,
to the Hon. Lockwood Thompson,
chairman of the state board of liquor
control, Columbus, 0., Representa-
tive Chester K. Gillespie informed
Mr. Thompson that he had received
hundreds of protests against the
State civil service commission's re-
quiring applicants for positions in
the state liquor stores to disclose
their race. This same thing, in ad-
@ition to sending a photograph, is
fequired by officials administering
@ new state law for barbers making
application for a license to work at
their trade. And just where was our
good friend Representative Gillespie
when this law was enacted? .
‘This sort of thing was inaugurat-
ed; years ago, by the Thomas Wood-

A REAL MAN.
Patrolman Lucius Higgins, last
week Thursday while on duty, saved
the lives of two six-year-old chil-
dren, girls of the race, when they
were caught in the path of a skid-
ding truck in front of Wooldridge
school, corner of Grant Ave. .and
Kinsman Rd., and thus showed be-
yond all question or doubt that he
was not only a brave officer but a
REAL man. The children were Dor-
othy Brooks, 2666 E. 67th St, and
Nancy Weens of 5906 Griswold Ave.
They were crossing Kinsman Rd. on
their way to the side entrance of
the school when Patrolman Higgins
noticed the truck swerve toward
them on the icy pavement. He
dashed to the side of the frightened
children and threw himself in front
of them, taking the brunt of the
truck’s force and sustaining a se-
vere cut across the forehead. The
little girls, clutching each others’
huand, were knocked down but es
caped with minor bruises. For this
unusual exhibition of bravery and
real manhood, The Gazette thanks
Officer Higgins for all the fair-mind-
ed people of the city of Cleveland,
particularly ours, and asks Director
Lavelle, head of the police and fire
departments of this city, to not for-
get Patrolman Lucius Higgins when
next he passes out recognition of ex-
hibitions of real bravery and sterling
manhood to members of his depart-
ments. We agree thoroly with the
Cleveland Daily News when it says:

PROBATE PROBERS
Show New Abuses in Quiz—J. W.
Wills Co. Among the Undertakers
‘Mentioned—State Exam-
jueves Bay.
State examiners are making a
thoro investigation of probate court,
particularly, it is said, as to the
flagrant cases of the court's mishan-
dling of estates. ‘This on the sus-
gestion of Judge Nelson J. Brewer,
our new probate judge who says the
administration of estates greatly
needs reform. He is preparing plans
for the improvement of the court.
In it are files of 225,000 cases, many
of which show gross dissipation of
assets thru improper handling and
the legal payment of fees. Writing
on the above, I. A. Nedleman of The
Cleveland Press says:
Examination of estates from $1.-
000 to $1,000,000 resulted in the
discovery that among others the un-
dertaker-administrator settled —$1,~
039 worth of claims against an es-
tate of $813.54 by paying out $388,
then paid his firm $254 for the fu-
neral and allowed $50 as attorney's
fees for the administrator. The un-
dertaking firm is that of J. W. Wills
o., 2340 E, 55th St. Of many un-
deriaking firms frequently appoint-
ed administrator by the court it ap-
parently handles tho most cases.
‘Head of the firm is John Walter
Wills Sr.; secretary-treasurer is
John Walter Wills Jr. Names of
the two appear on records of admin-
istratorsand executors in several
forms; J. W. Wills, John W. Wills,
J. Walter Wills, John Walter Wills.
‘A number of cases were selected, by
number and wholly at random, from
the index records. They were look-
ed up in order. ‘Here is what the
itemized files show:
CASE NO. 192695: John Boyd
died Aug. 5, 1930. Application of
John Waiter Wills Jr. to become ad-
ministrator listed’ a Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. policy of $1010
‘as the entire estate. On Oct. 31,
1930, Administrator Wills filed an
inventory showing $1034.26 received
from the insurance company.
‘On Sept. 7, 1932, the administra-
tor listed expenses ‘of $707 against
the estate. These included: debt to
a furniture store (with the itemized
Statement bearing a number of era-
sures with new figures written in),
$107; City Hospital, $19; Dr. L. 0.
Baumgardner, $7; Morris Gelman,
$90; J. W. Wills Co. (firm of which
the administrator is an_ official),
$414. ‘The widow got $101.11. 4
etter to the court, typed on Wills
Co, stationery and’ bearing the sig-
naiure of the widow, authorized
payment by Wills, the undertaker,
to Wills, the administrator, of the
$414 bill “and $150, which money
was loaned to me.”
CASE NO. 197693: Velma Chiers
Ross died March 4, 1931, leaving as
heirs a brother and sister, Apprais-
jers appointed by the court reported
they found $100 worth of furniture
land $970.52 in the Guardian Bank.
John W. Wills Jr. was appointed
administrator. He retained Alex. H.
Martin as attorney and paid him a
feo of $50 from the estate. A judg-
ment in Municipal Court against the
estate was settled for $293. Another
attorney serving in this case, was
awarded a feo of $70. A settlement
Was made with Leo M. Ascherman,
attorney, for $150 against a bill of
$220 Mr. Ascherman was trying to
collect for a cilent. The final state-
‘ment, purporting to list all money
expended from March 4, 1931, to
the date of the final ‘accounting
failed to show the $50 attorney fee
to Mr. Martin, failed to show $123
of the $193 paid to C. K. Gillespie,
attorney, failed to show the $150
settlement with Mr. Ascherman. It
did show the $564 paid to J. W.
Wills Co. for funeral expenses, in-
eluding a casket that cost $360.
Explains $200 Discrepancy.

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 antl-lynching bill was introduced im 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 constitu-
tonality of the law and it has been very effective. IVinois, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or
anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other north-
brn states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted
anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
MOBS.
Section
6278. “Mob” and “lynching” defined.
6279. “Serious injury” defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lyfching.
5282. 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.

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 edi-
tor had enacted while a member of
the 71st General Assembly, in 1894,
‘The General Code of Ohio:
See. 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 accommoda-
tion and amusement, denies to a citi-
zen, 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 per-
son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
ered in any court of competent juris-
diction 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

REIBURG, Germany, lovely gate-
way to the Black Forest, 1s not
only proud of Its rank among the
most pleturesque cities of Eu-
rope, but also of its more than 800
years of life. The city is of special
tnterest to “Americans because Martin
Waldseemuller, the geographer, who
was the first to put the name “Amer-
fea” on a map, was a Freiburger.
‘Two centuries before the Christian
era, the Celts roamed over the site of
Freiburg. ‘They were _gradually
pushed out of the Upper Rhine val-
ley, however, by German tribes.
‘Then came the Romans. In B. ©.
14 Tiberius crossed the Rhine, and
shortly, what with the Roman legions
on one side and the Germant on the
other, the fertile plain known as Brels.
au and the wild forest land called
the Schwarswald became what they
still are, frontier country. In A. D.
74 a military road was built from what
1s now Strasbourg to the Danube.
‘Those were boom days, for under
the protection of the Romans trade
flowed up and down the road that ran
along the right bank of the Rhine trom
Basel to Mainz, and in favorable
pices forts and small settlements
sprang up. It was then that Baden-
weller, slightly to the south of the
present Freiburg, and Baden, to the
north, first achieved renown as fash-
fonabie bathing resorts.
; In about two hundred years the
Roman bubble burst. The German
tribee pounced down, took the forts,
and again became masters of the
Rhine.
By a curious turn of fortune in the
Seventh century, the Celts again ap-
peared on the scene, this time in the
form of Celtle Irish missionaries.
By the end of the Eighth century
the: Germans were mostly Christian-
zea.
Founded by Duke Konrad.
By the beginning of the Twelfth cen-
tury the Breisgau, of which Freiburg
was the ancient capital, was a thriv-
ing district. Farmers tilled the heavy,
fruitful soll of the floor plain, planted
vineyards on the warm south slopes,
and trafficked with wandering ped-
diers from Strasbourg and Basel and
‘even from Italian cities and the Baltic.
‘Obviously the one thing needed to
eomplete the picture was a center of
trade, a elty. And In 1120 Duke Kon-
md of Zahringen cast his eye about
for « sultable site.
Just where the river Dreisam
‘emerges from its valley and flows out
into the Rhine plain, on-a well-inclined
flat of outwash grayel, stood a small
Aunting lodge. Here was the deal
sity site.
Before it spread the fertile Rhine
plain; behind it ranged a semi-circle
ef mountains split by the valley of
‘the Dreisam. Here was ample water
‘supply, sufficient slope to insure good
drainage, and protection from incle-
‘ment weather and foes. Most Impor-
tant of all, here was a Junction of
roads, the north-south road leading
from Italy to the Baltic, and the east-
west rond leading from France to
Swabia and the Danube country. The
new town then, would be a crossroads
affair, through which travelers com-
ing from every direction would have
topass
‘With the hunting’ lodge ag a central
point, the duke carefully planned the
city of Freiburg. Four principal gates
gave entrance to the town. Two prin-
cipal streets crossed the hut at right
angles and formed four large blocks,
which were cut up into smaller blocks
by narrow alleys running parallel to
the main streets,
| Giving play to bis'tmagination, the
Guke devised a scheme entirely new
to medieval city planning, which
caused a flutter among travelers of
the day, whereby a series of swift
flowing brooks, supplied with water
trom the Dreisam, were directed down
all the streets and alleys.
‘These brooks carried away the sew.
age and insured a supply of fresh wa-
ter, giving to Freiburg a reputation,
which it has never lost, for cleanli-
ness and healthfulness. They took
the place of washtubs and they acted
as first ald to the fire department. It
was an Ingenious arrangement.
Since a town ts not a town without
inhabitants, the versatile duke worked
‘out a plan to boost population. He
named his offspring Freiburg and
promised freedom to any man who
‘would live within its walls for a year
and a day. Such intoxicating liberty
naturally drew people from far and
near, and within a hundred years of
its founding Freiburg was one of the
most important cities of the upper
Rhine.
How It Was Peopled.
It 1s astonishing how many of the
ehnracteristics of that Freiburg of the
‘Twelfth century survive today. The
walls are gone, save for scattered re
mains here and there. Two of the
gates liave vanished, leaving only the
highly decorated and Impressive tower
gates, Martinstor and Schwabentor;
but the spot where the hunting lodge
stood 1s still the center of the city.
and the principal streets of 1120 which
intersect this spot are still the prin.
cipal streets In 1934.
Frelburg streets have lost little of
thelr medieval savor. Within the iim
its of the original wall, the streets and
alleys, some so narrow that only a
German rarity, two thin people, can
pass in them, twist and bulge and
bend with startling abandon and a
rakish disregard for right angles.
Many of them, too, still bear their
quaint old names. Oberlinden square,
where a linden tree has stood, accord:
Ing to definite official record, since the
middle of the Twelfth century, has
been known by the same name since
the city was founded.
‘The brooks also remain. A few, es-
pecially in the main streets, have been
covered with gratings, and only the
broken purl of water tells of their ex
Istence. But in most of the lesser
streets they® hurtle along, open and
‘lean and sparkling, exquisite expanses
for small boys to sail boats, delicious
places for youthful paddling when the
hot days come,
Ancient Houses Still Stand.
Not a few of the houses that flank
these narrow, twisting streets date
back to the city’s Infancy. For Fret
burg, unlike most of the towns of this
frontier country, such as Heldelbers,
‘was never entirely razéd by enemy fre,
although it has belonged In turn to the
Zahringens, to Austria, Sweden,
France, Italy, and Germany. It has
withstood almost countless sieges and
has had its suburbs burned to its very
walls many times.
It 1s not uncommon to see buildings
with Thirteenth or Fourteenth century
date plates. Some of them still bear
the names which were in use long be-
fore street numbers had been thought
of. The Black Letter, the Golden
Tankard and the White Goose are
among these.
‘The odd thing about many of the
old places 1s that you must really
know Frelburg before you discover
them. Stand at the fountain on the
reputed site of the hunting lodge, for
instance, and cast your eye up and
down the intersecting streets on a
level with the pavement. You see win-
dows fall of furniture, or sausages, or
hats, or flowers, or rows of those ex-
traordinary wax figures whose marked
family resemblance and abandoned
poses are peculiar to Germany. But
raise your eyes above the shop win-
dows and you are back in the days of
old when knights were bold. No two
houses are the same height or width
or color; no two roofs are the same
shape or tilt. Step gables mount diz-
ally, high-peaked roofs lurch skyward,
dormer windows stand out lke star-
Ing, inquisitive eyes.
Frelburg’s cathedral was the first
Gothie chureh of any size to be fully
completed in Germany during the Mid-
dle ages: It stands a little askew, like
everything else in the town, in the
wide Munsterplatz, or ‘Cathedral
square. The enormous mass of na
tive red sandstone surmounted by 2
single soaring spire of almost incred.
fbly delicate filigree work, was start
ed soon after the founding of the city
and was more than 300 years in build-
ing.
“Architects, painters, woodlcarvers,
sculptors, and masons came from every
part of Burgpe to contribute to its
beauty; and the tong. low-roofed. heay-
Mg-beamed dwelling that housed the
architects and master builders during
{ts construction still remains. One of
the altar pieces was painted by Hans
Holbein the Younger.

Jewelry. The first thing that strikes
you about the newer fashion is the
conspicuous presence of wide brace-
lets together with huge matching clips
‘or brooches, likewise earrings and
other gadgets equally as decorative
and chic, The fascinating thing about
new Jewelry is that each type plays
up perfectly to the individuality of
the costume with which it is worn.
So. characteristic 1s this modern
Jewelry and so convincingly does It
carry the message of having been de-
signed to complement the right cos-
tume af*the right time, one senses its
mission at a glance. For instance, you
do not have to be told that a massive
bracelet of nuggety looking gold with
@ huge matching clip will set your
bright woolen daytime frock off to
high point of distinction,
You feel the same way in rezard to
the swagger broad bracelets of green
or some other color composition. In
thelr modernistie angles and squares
and sharp Unes they carry a sort of
tallor-made look about them which
makes you feel they will be in perfect
complement with the sportsy crulse
frocks, sweaters and suits which you
are adding to your wardrobe. And
when you are told that you can have
these gomposition bracelets and pins
monogrammed with monocratt’ Initials
at the counter while you walt, your
enthusiasm goes skyrocketing.
You get a thrill, too, when your ad-
miring gaze rests on displays of
bracelets and companion pieces which
have big oval-shaped colorful stones
set in mountings of gold or silver. Im-
mediately you begin to concoct in
your mind a color scheme which will
‘work out stunningly with your latest
