Akron's Afro-American population numbers 12,500. Seven well-trained members of the race were added to the staffs of the public charity and local transient bureaus. Two others were used temporarily. There were enrolled under the emergency school program 1336 which gave employment to 58 persons. Classes were organized to study various literary and cultural institutes, where problems relating to employment in public schools, hospitals, industries, etc., were discussed, was an interracial meeting. MASSILLON.—The local Y. M. C. A. recently refused to permit our boys to play basketball in its "gym." Their conscience pricking just a little because of their profession of Christianity, if not because of the word Christian in the name of the "Y," the organization offered to hire a place for our boys to practice in and pay all the bills for rent, etc. Of course, this insult was handed back to the "Y" thru its secretary. The boys then appealed to the local N. A. A. C. P. branch which in turn got its national headquarters in New York and matter rests as far as the N. A. A. C. P. is concerned. The boys are now raising money to secure practice quarters of their own and intend to carry their case to the fair-minded Christian people of this city, regardless of racial connections. YOUNGSTOWN—Bishop M. W. Clair, of the Covington, Ky. M. E. conference, was the principal speaker at Centenary M. E. church, Sunday morning. A mass meeting was held in the afternoon for which a Dr. Mueller of Philadelphia was the principal speaker. Rev. George Leouis, pastor, presider, president, W. W.

In the afternoon a ministered communion at Reed A. M. E. church. Sharline—Mrs. H. G. Williams of Pittsburgh has accepted a position in T. A. James' barber shop. OBERLIN.—When four of our young men were grossly humiliated by being forcibly and illegally ejected from the newly opened public bowling alley here, recently, a great deal of feeling was generated in this community. The persons "fired" were Wm. Wright, president of the University, Shaw, enail carrier; Carlos Berry, an Oberlin college student, and H. M. Thomas, a clerk in a chain store. The manager of the bowling alley and the local chief of police are newcomers to this community. The our people of Oberlin were greatly perturbed over the incident, apparently no steps have been taken to punish the proprietor of the colorado mine. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. This has been the case entirely too often. Apparently many of our people do not yet have a full appreciation of their civil rights and privileges. Lord, have mercy! WILBERFORCE. — Today, Feb 24, is founders' day at Wilberforce. An extensive program has been ob- served, and will worry on thursday, TJ Hon. W. Bricker, Ohio's attorney general, will be the principal speaker and music will be furnished by the Wilberforce choir. University alumni from many parts of the country are expected here, today. Clarence Cameron White, violin soloist and head of the music department, recital, Thursday evening, and the founders' day banquet was held, last evening, in shorter hall. Mr. Bricker will speak, this morning, in shorter Hall auditorium. An alumni meeting in the same place is scheduled for this afternoon. This evening, a drama will be given in Galloway Hall, and events are scheduled for Sunday morning and afternoon, the latter a musical, taking place at the Opera House. The University has made application for participation in the government program for part-time jobs for college students, so President Wright has announced. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Those of our readers who own property in the housing site, between E. 22d and E. 30th Sts., Cedar and Central Avenues, should NOT be scared into selling their property or giving options to those in need of seeking the same. The local daily newspapers have a number of articles, the past week, which were intended to do that very thing—scare property owners into disposing of their property at very low rates. Don't fall for this sort of thing, but hang on to your property just as you can and in the meantime will get fair compensation from the government or whoever it designates to deal with you. The organization of a women's Republican club is being contemplated in the east end of Ward 12 while a man's club is soon to be organized in the west end to replace the one started a couple of months ago which died prematurely both bers of the race and officer both organizers of the club is said. Several of women are greatly interested in the case of Mrs. Mattle Clarissillo, first secretary of the women's organization now in existence in Ward 12 who is ill at the residence of a niece, 2445 E. 79th St. Wards 11, 17 and 18 each have several inspectors at the garbage center, too, and they feel that they ought to have at least the same number, and better jobs. The Rounder advises them to see Councilman Herman Finkle, pronto. The Rounder is in hearty sympathy with all that has been said relative to the urgent need of a change in the control of the Portland-Outhwaite Center. Supt. Van Pelt and Assist. Supt. Glover, faithful workers for Councilman Herman Finkle, should be taken care of by him, but placed in other positions. The head and assistant of the center should be men with special fitness for that kind of work. This is absolutely necessary for the proper conduct of the great big beautiful place. We feel sure that both the councilman and Atty. Bostein, Republican for Ward 12, fully appreciate the fact set forth herein. The fact that the Democrats under Mayor Ray T. Miller made a mistake in the appointment of a superintendent and his assistant, of the center, in nowhere justifies the present unfortunate condition of affairs in that place. Complaints from men, women and even younger folk are increasing, each week. The Troy Thomas-Lawrence O. Pierce, Jr. is the author of the formats and algorithms is now in MRS. ANNIE E. MALONE Leases Poro College Auditorium for a Movie Theater—A $250,000 Building. St. Louis, Mo.—The Poro College building here, erected during the World War at a total cost of more than $250,000 (all paid for) and vacated after Mrs. Annie E. Malone moved her great business to Chicago, has been leased to a company for the purpose of operating a movie theater. Many will recall the mistreatment of Mrs. Malone and Poro College by her husband, written home years ago, which finally caused her to move the great business to Chicago where she rebuilt in Poro Block, South Parkway, between 44th and 45th Sts. Mrs. Malone is the greatest philanthropist our people have produced to date, a fine woman. OUR HOME OWNERS! The Total Number at the Nation's Capital Ridiculously Small—Why Such a Poor Showing Is Made. Washington, D. C.—Our people here own only 7,314 homes, exclusive of farm homes, and their average value is $6,433, according to the U. S. Census Bureau report, just made public. Of the 899 homes owned, about one per cent, or 73, home values valued at $20,000 or more. Homes worth $15,000 to $19, 999 are owned by 167, and 899 more own homes values at more than $10, 000. The largest groups are those whose homes are worth $7,500 to $9,999, numbering 1,438; $5,000 to $7,499, numbering 2,246, and $3,000 to $4,999, numbering 1,413. In the lower ratings, homes worth $2,000 and upward are owned by 487 persons; $1,500 and upward, 165; 300 and upward, 135; and homes worth less than $1,000 are owned by 47 persons. All things considered, this is a very poor showing for the hundred thousand or more "Negroes" living in the nation's capital. They really ought to own ten times as many homes as they do, and they would, if so much was not spent in "society," "making a show," and living beyond their incomes or rather what they earn, each year. This same thing is true of almost every large city in the country that has a considerable population of our people. Burn Nine in One Day! Montgomery, Ala.—Feb. 9, '34, was a great day for the lynch-murderers. Between midnight and 1 A. M., nine were strapped into electric chairs and lynched. Three in Texas, one in Arkansas, and five in Kilby Prison at Montgomery, Alabama. hands of County Prosecutor Frank T. Cullivan (Dem.) who with Assistant County Prosecutor Frank D. Celebreeze is carefully scanning the law bearing upon such matters. The haste that characterized the called meetings of the two "Blossom Triplets," Councilmen Payne and Bundy, for the purpose of organizing clubs in Ward 11 and 12, the presence of the Thomas affidavit rather let the "cat out of the bag." The statement was made that the dollar pay-day payments of jobholders were to be given to the Republican club in Wards 11 and 17, when it seems there were no such organizations. Funny, isn't it? And if there were such organizations, why the hastily called meetings, the Thomas affidavit, at each of which a ward Republican club was organized? In the case of the Ward 11 meeting, it seems that several of our ministers were active in their assistance. It is said that they, too, are holding small jobs in the city's service. The Playhouse Settlement, 2239 E. 38th St., announces an annual exhibition of arts, crafts and drama for Feb. 15 to 24 at the Karamu theater, 3807 Central Ave. The exh ibition will include work of the childr en's art studio, the metal crafts factory, the state museum, and the children's theater. Everybody is invited to attend and bring their friends with them. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS O OHIO!

BISHOPS' COUNCIL IN SESSION IN MISSISSIPPI. Reverses Its Action at Wilberforce, Last June—The Bishop's Supreme Court Suit—Bethel Church's Strange Reversal. DOINGS OF THE RACE --- Jackson, Miss.—The A. M. E. Bishops' Council which met here, recently, selected New York City for the International Conference in 1936. It also reversed its action at Wilberforce, Ohio, in June, 1933, wherein it overrode Rt. Rev. W. H. Heard's action and reinstated Rev. Edward A. Clarke as pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, New York City. The Council decided to refer the case back to Bishop Heard with the understanding that Rev. Clarke be moved to some other district. It was also decided that Rt. Rev. M. H. Davis, presiding bishop of the Sec. H. A. E. district be associated with Bishop Heard in making arrangements for the transfer of Dr. E. A. Clarke into the third district, presided over by Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom. The Church Trouble. The present disturbed condition at Bethel church, N. Y. City, grew out of the transfer of Dr. Clarke, over the protest of the membership, to the New England conference. The members took the case to the Bishops' Council at Wilberforce, last June, which reinstated their pastor. Then Bishop Heard filed action seeking to annul the veto of the Bishops' Council. It was Bishop Heard's contention that the Council was without authority to over-rule him. However, the Supreme Court upheld the Bishops Council and thus gave the Bethel pastor the right to remain until the next annual conference of the Mennonite Church. In the meantime, Bishop Heard is said to have continued his fight by trying to build up sentiment against Five thousand lynchings in this country since 1882. Samuel Gordon, Lincoln's barber, left a $120,000 estate. New York City has two Afro-American post-office station superintendents. The four Mills brothers will open in the Palladium theater, London, England, May 7, '34. John Beckham, age 109, a veteran of the Mexican War and the War of the Rebellion, died in Washington, D. C., recently. Noble Sissle is at last announced as the composer and author of the play, "Shuffle Along," assisted by his partner, Eubie Blake. A federal judge at Philadelphia recently announced that newspapers carrying "numbers" advertisements should be indicted and put on trial. "Sunshine Sammy," original Afro in "Our Gang" of the movies, has an eleven piece band of which his father is manager, that is touring Chicago theaters. Masako Kuroda, age 23, daughter of Viscount Hiruyuki Kuroda of the Japanese forestry bureau, and Crown Prince Ababa of Abyssinia are soon to wed, it is announced. The biennial fight on Congressman Oscar De Priest has already started in Chicago's thickly populated (Afro-American) third ward, First Congressional district of Illinois. Gimbel's Department Store, N. Y. City, sent its Afro-American employees to a theater while its other employees danced at the Waldorf Astoria which draws a color-line in its ballroom. Matt Hattle Garrison, age 41, 911 Corrington St., Kansas City, Mo., has given just birth to her nineteenth child. Four sets of twins. Six children are living. Marcus Garvey, now in Jamaica, British West Indies, has named his former secretary, S. A. Haynes of Philadelphia, head of the Universal "Negro" Improvement Association in this country. Lynching is barbaric "entertainment." and we are the only civilized country in the world still addicted to this form of "enjoyment."—President Mordecal W. Johnson, Howard University, Washington, D.

That he was successful is indicated by a protest, which was brought here from the young peoples' department of the church, representing 1000 members, in which faith was expressed in Bishop Heard's wisdom in removing Bettel church was represented at the Conference by H. H. Dennis and Thos. W. Turner, two of the oldest laymen of the church, who had been staunch supporters of Dr. Clarke. Rev. Edward A. Clarke of Wilberforce taught for years in the University of Chicago, and pastored A. M. E. churches in Cleveland, Columbus and other Ohio cities, before going to Bethel church, N. Y. City. He is one of the ablest and best educated ministers in the A. M. E. Church and a fine man. He sure will be welcomed back. Aitr. Wm. Boger, an employee in the N. Y. C. R. legal department, died, recently. Rev. W. M. Cotton, pastor of First Mt. Olive Baptist church, will preach to King Tut Lodge, Elks, March 4, at the morning service. Response will be made by Dr. N. K. Christopher. W. A. Scott, age 31, publisher of The Atlanta Daily World, mysteriously shot to death, last week, was the head of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate which controls the Cleveland Eagle. A half dozen other like publications, in other states, Scott had just returned from a honeymoon with his fourth wife. He left two little boys by his first wife and other relatives to mourn his untimely death. He seems to have been something of a Lothario. and national legislation to cure the practice. State legislation is the better. It took a regiment of African colonial troops to "put the binger on" the riotous demonstrations in Paris, France, last week, just as French troops (white) do up-rings of natives in France's African colony. Dr. Chas. W. Maxwell of Boston has discovered a drug that controls bleeding more quickly and lastingly than any other chemical, and that is being acclaimed by the medical profession and the leading drug companies in the U. S. Mr. Chas. Lewis of Boston, for many years conducting the third largest tailoring establishment in this country, is still active in the business in the Back Bay district of Boston's most exclusive section, and many of his parrots are among the elite of the social, political and financial world of that city. TO CONVENE HERE In Cleveland, Next Week—About Fifty of Our Educators—Reports to Be Made, Ets. A joint meeting of the National Advisory Committee and the Planning Commission of the National Conference, on the education of Afro-Americans, has been called by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, Dr. George F. Zook, to meet in this city, February 27, in connection with the convention of the Department of Superintendence. These committees are comprised of approximately fifty of leaders in education and other activities relating to Afro-American life. There will be a brief report of the regular work of the Federal Office of Education and of emergency educational projects. The main feature of the meeting, however, will be concerned with the National Conference to be held this spring. The special committee of the Conference will make reports of the progress of their work and there will be brief messages from Commissioner Zook. President Paul Stetson of the Department of Superintendence and Miss Jessie Gray, president of the National Education Association. Dr. Ambrose Calliver, federal specialist in the education of our people who is director of the conference, will be in charge of the meeting here, next Tuesday. Rev. J. O. Haitcoh of St. Joha's A. M.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1934. Cab Calloway and his N. Y. Cotton club orchestra sailed, today, for a European tour. We're curious to know just how his noisy "music," both vocal and instrumental, will "take" abroad. Our people, indeed 'ALL' people throughout the country ought to celebrate Crispus Attucks' day. March 5, the anniversary of his death. Attucks was the first martyr to American independence. --- Schroeder, one of Hitler'senchmen, says the latter demands the sterilization of all Jews and Afro-Germans, which makes clear the fact that at least both of them are in dire need of mental and mouth sterilization. --- Mayor Mansfield of Boston made Frederick Douglass' birthday a new flag day for that city's official calendar by ordering the national colors displayed upon all public buildings in Boston in observance of Douglass' 117th birthday anniversary, Feb. 14. Mayor Harry L. Davis of this city would gladly have done the same if our members of the City Council had been tothful enough to ask it in time. "The American Equality League, a federation of twenty-two racial groups, formed in 1927 to fight discriminatory racial legislation, held its annual meeting and installation of officers, Thursday night, at Swiss Hall," this city. If our people are not represented in this organization, they surely ought to be. And if not, why not? Municipal Judges Bradley Hull and Lewis Drucker, two good friends of the race, are members of the league, the former having served as president and the latter now serving as treasurer of the organization. --- Editor George W. Harris of the New York News is late with his explanation to Congressman Oscar De Priest. He should have explained "Question of High Personal Privilege" to the Congressman before his recent failure to accomplish desired results in that House of Representatives' restaurant color-line incident. Oscar has been entirely too busy for several years, traveling over the country delivering speeches at so much per speech, to give the necessary study of the House of Representatives book of parliamentary rules and laws. --- A few days ago, Relief Director Hopkins said that the demobilization (dismissals) of CWA workers "would be confined to the southern and rural regions." Here is another stab for the poor "Negro" workers in the South. The great majority of them are in "rural southern" sections, greatly outnumbering the poor whites or "crackers"; so will suffer most, as usual, as a result of Relief Director Hopkins' demobilization order. This shows, too, that southern Democracy is "in the saddle" and controlling to a very large degree the Roosevelt administration when it comes to certain phases of national control. --- The Ohio House of Representatives, last week, passed Representative Chester K. Gillespie's resolution urging the U. S. Congress to enact the Costigan Mob Violence bill. Now let one of our State Senators secure the passage by the Senate of the same or another resolution of the kind. We want the bill passed so the U. S. Supreme Court can pass upon its constitutionality, that of a federal anti-lynch law. The Costigan bill's chance of being enacted into law, however, is very slim because the present U. S. Congress is southern Democratic. It has been southern Democratic influence on Republican U. S. Congresses in the last 15 years that caused them to de- feat every attempt made to enact a federal mob violence act or antilynching law. TROUBLE AHEAD! When "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman Payne, George and Bundy) broke their pledge to their constituents "to do all in their power to help oust Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom," for his refusal to permit our boys and girls only to train in City Hospital, but had the brazen offenrction to support him for reappointment to the position, that was bad, VERY BAD from a race-loyalty viewpoint or standpoint. But it was infinitely worse for them to urge the appointment of a member of another group or race for membership in the mayor's cabinet in preference to one of their own race. What makes this still worse is the fact that the other group or race already had a representative in the mayor's cabinet. Our voters constitute practically one-third of the Republican voting strength of this city and are entitled to at least two of the seven cabinet positions, but only asked one, and it would have been to the best interests of the party had this request been granted. Our voting strength is a factor of the local Republican party larger than that of any race or group represented in the mayor's cabinet. Recent years have witnessed the loss of hundreds of our votes in this city to independent and Democratic candidates, and the near future will see a far greater exodus unless Republican leaders "snap out of it" and cut short their studied refusal to give our people what their voting strength entitles them to. The old army-tale that this cannot be done for fear of loss of votes among the foreign element won't work any longer because we will not permit it to do so. Either we get what we are clearly entitled to, or the party will lose enough of our votes in this city to encompass its defeat. Securing the assistance of such as "The Blossom Triplets" only aggravates the matter. Intelligent and loyal members of the race, our real leaders, will make this clear from now on until two years hence when there will surely be a reckoning, unless we are given the recognition we have earned and are clearly entitled to. Watch this fall's county election, and mark our prediction! Prime Sport News Brown Outpoints Perez. Paris, France—Al Brown, lanky Panama "Afro" who is recognized generally as world bantamweight champion, outpointed Young Perez in a fifteen-round title bout here, Monday night. Chocolate Gives Up Title. Havana, Cuba,—"Kid Chocolate," featherweight champion, has announced that he will renounce that title because he can no longer stay within the class-weight limit of 136 pounds. The lie, that it was "taken him" is being prejudiced sportwriters. Owens to Run With Metcalfe. Columbus, O.—Jess Owens of Cleveland, the color-line O. S. U. freshman sprint star, who ought to be ashamed of the fact, will get his first taste of major indoor competition when he matches speed with Ralph Metcalfe, the international streak from Marquette U., in the featured 60-meter dash championship of the National A. A. U. indoor meet in New York City, today. A. A. U. won the W. A. U. 60-meter championship in the record time of six and eight-tenths seconds. He will also attempt to capture the broad jump. Altho he has never "jumped on the boards" his natural ability is expected to enable him to compete with the nation's best. Pollard Won Hurdles. Boston, Mass. — Fritz Pollard, Jr. of Brown University, Providence, R. I. son of the famous football star, was the hero at Boston Gardens in the annual B. A. A. games Saturday night, week. He had an easy victory in the 45-yard hurdles. Young Joshua Schalman at Brown but ran unattended, turned in a time of six seconds flat and was unextended. He carved out his place as one of the heroes of a great meet in astounding fashion as he romped thru preliminary, semi-final, and final heat without being headed, clearing every hurdle like the champion that he is, and drew down a tremendous hand. He was then heaped on the heaped on the track. His ramp into the padded wall on the finish for the final jaint was the cause for a great ovation.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching legislature in 1894 and re-introduced Smith, editor of The Gazette, just the law. The Ohio Supreme Court has rationality of the law and it has been and New Jersey have followed Ohio anti-lynching laws which are copies born states and at least one border anti-lynching laws, in recent years.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278.

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, house barber-shop, public conveyance, 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. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O. Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNell, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life, so that of my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

The new champ is a pet kitten that wandered too far away from home. Seeking adventure of the highest order, the intrepid feline climbed to the top rung of the pole and refused to descend. Coaxing and wheedling failed to change the kitten's resolution to remain aloft, so neighbors called The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Vernon Casperson, installer, was assigned the job of rescuing the pet from its precarious perch. After much pawing and scratching, the ace pole sitter was brought to earth, hungry but unharmed. ```markdown ``` A cat is on top of a man's head. The cat is shouting.

Respectfully, Joe T. Thomas, M. D. Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe After Seeing It A Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. BOOGRAPHICALLY, Chosen (Korea) has been in the center of the Sino-Japanese controversy during the last two years, yet the "Land of Morning Calm" has seldom broken into the daily news. There is something elusive about the very name of the Land of Morning Calm. Japan, everybody knows; China, nobody knows. Chosen, or Korea, her light hidden under a bushel for centuries—not yet very tolerant of tourists and standing aloft from the colonizer with all her proud heart—is as shrinking as the mimosa, and, yet, to some travelers, the most fascinating country of the three. She asked of the Ages only to be let alone, but the gift was denied her. Under Japanese influence and control, the old ox cart and river traffic has given way in large part to 4,950 miles of public and privately operated railways, which annually carry some 20,000,000 passengers. The returning traveler notices a change in the appearance of Korea. From a dry, woodless, barren-looking country, with a heaving mass of graves, it is fertile, well-watered, much cultivated, and obviously reforested. "Give life to the mountains first and you will give life to the nation," a Japanese official had advised. So one of Japan's first acts was to introduce an extensive aforestation program. The forests are not yet, of course, fully grown, but they are well started and will help conserve Korea's future rainfall. At several points model farms, started by the Japanese, also give unquestioned evidence of the increased productivity and prosperity of the country. The Japanese now own about half of the cultivated land. Why the Graves Disappeared. The traveler learns how it was that hundreds of thousands of graves have been made to disappear. In the old days the soothsayer, and he only, could declare the most fortunate position for a grave. Often the spot he chose was the fairest place in the family's most fertile field, and after the grave had been placed there it would not have been respectful to the dead to cultivate the field. In a country as old as Korea and with such a reverence for graves, the result can be imagined. Once grassy mounds rolled everywhere like the waves of the sea. The Japanese changed all that. In Japan very little land is given over to graveyards. In a country so small, so mountainous, and with such a teeming population, there is of necessity little waste land. Every arable foot is cultivated. Cremation was early favored; consequently, Japanese cemeteries are small and insignificant, except occasionally around a monastery. In Korea the Japanese established graveyards at what seemed to them appropriate intervals. Koreans who refused to remove their ancestors to these cemeteries were compelled to pay a grave tax. There was naturally much opposition, for the graves of a Korean are his most cherished possession. But taxes are taxes, and this tax accounts for the increased fertile acreage. The regulation also is responsible for the fact that so many fine pieces of cedar, a sea-green porcelain, all of them belonging to the Koral period and all treasure-trove from graves, found their way to the market. Korea is a country of many capitals. As one came to be considered unlucky, sootherswales would choose another. Again, when, from extravagance, bad government, or reckless taxation, signs of misfortune began to appear, the capital would be moved to a new site, just as loveless married couples move from house to house, hoping to leave their discontent behind them. Sulgen, or Suwan, sometimes called the Flowery Castle, about 25 miles south of Seoul, had glory for a day, as time is reckoned in the old, old countries of the East. For long years, too, it was one of the important defensive outposts of Seoul, and at one time is said to have sheltered 50,000 people. Very likely it did, perhaps more, for the ruins are extensive. The city now has about 15,000 people. In the latter part of the Eighteenth century the place so captivated one of the kings of Seoul that he flirted with the idea of transferring his capital there. The summer pavilion, lovely in its decay, is all that is left of the palace where he frequently used to resort. Two of these YI (also called LI) kings, kings and son, the letter having built the city walls, found their last resting places within Suigen's friendly confines. Women's Ugly Costumes. Although the Korean costume for mature women is the most impressive in the Orient, the women's dress is decidedly unattract tive. Its skilelessness would make sylph look like a sack of potatoes. The hair is worn in the most ugly way possible; parted in the middle, then brushed back at either side of the head, and wound into a tight knot at the nape of the neck in a way that would make the Venus of Milo look like Sis Hopkins. Especially is the polished forehead ruthlessly exposed and brought into prominence. One would say that the hideousness of the women's costume might cause the attraction of Korean men to the keislaing, or professional dancing girls, if they had evolved ruthlessly prettier; but the improvement is slight. The keislaing do pull out the hair on their temples and make a somewhat softer hair line than that of the other women, but they draw it in the same tight knots. The kelsang have adopted a prettier sleeve, which is very long and trimmed with gay ribbons. They wear brighter colors and many ornaments. Their dancing feet are tiny, when you can get a glimpse of them beneath the voluminous skirts, which trail all around; but, for professional dancers, they are the most rigorously covered women in the world. Songdo was the High Tree Capital of Korea from the Tenth century until 1892, during the Koral dynasty, the Elizabethan Age of Korea. Almost everything that is loveliest in Korean art and literature is the Koral period, and most of the arts of this golden age are now lost, the making of celadon, for instance. Songdo was also a walled city and is still wonderful and extensive. The palace of the old Korean caesars is entirely gone—more the pity—though there is something disappointing, to many western minds, in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese palaces. There is too much wooden simplicity, too much dependence on paint and lacquer, not enough comfort, and no precious stones. They are neither barbarous nor civilized, just bare and uncomfortable looking. Apparently there has not been a fire in Songdo for a thousand years. Looking down from the heights, one sees the remarkable thatched roofs of this old, old city, their ancient designs miraculously preserved. They are brown and soft-looking and curious in shape. Each house seems to follow any line its owner may have fancied. They are almost never square. Some are shaped like horseshoes, some like crescent moons, and others are fashioned like griltons. All have a thick mushroom thatch. Scenery at Pyengyang. About 162 miles north of Seoul charming old Heljoo (Pyenggang) sprawls on blufflike hills which rise above the sweeping Daido (Daidong) river. One has missed much in this Hermit kingdom until one has stood in the pavilion that is perched atop Botan-Dal, or Peony Point, and seen the super panorama of mountains, plain, city, and the sparkling river. Well might Korea's traditional founder who coined the title, Land of Morning Calm, have stood on this very eminence and watched the play of light and clouds over the marvelous landscape. Up and down and across the swift-moving waters of the Daido ply numerous cargo craft and ferryboats, their white and golden sails glinting in the sunlight. Farther downstream, spans of a modern steel bridge vault the river, and still farther off rise smoking factory chimneys, a Twentieth-century touch impinging on the scene. Pyengyang is one of the oldest cities in Korea; for centuries previous to the rise of Songdo it was the capital. According to tradition, it was here that the nation's founder, Kishi (Ki-tze), a Chinese scholar, established his palaces when he became emperor. His supposed burial place is marked by a shrine. The tablets, stone images, and lanterns that surround the mausoleum, however, were erected nearly 2,000 years after he had lived and ruled and died in his adopted land. It is said that the falling of a miraculous snowstorm showed the Yi dynasty where to build the walls of Keljo (Seoul), known as the Snow Capital. Now the Temple of Heaven is the dancing room of a tourist hotel; some of the crenelated walls have been torn down and traffic now skirts around as well as through the old gates. The exquisite tea house, like that pictured on the Willow Pattern plate, only far lovelier, where Queen Min used to entertain the Chinese envoys, has been razed and no longer rises in loveliness from its lotus bed. Modern banks and offices, monumental stone government buildings, and wide tram-way-and-bus-served streets have given the metropolis a thoroughly up-to-date, businesslike appearance rather than that of an oriental capital. Hats That Go Definitely Off-Face By CHERIE NICHOLAS HATS off-the-face is latest millinery news. It would seem that the five fetching spring chapeaux in the illustration could not pose farther back on the head if they tried and stay on properly. However, that is the way of the newest brims—to describe a sort of halo about the head which gives us something refreshingly different from the types which have been in fashion for many seasons past. We are inclined to believe that a conspiracy must have been going on between milliner and hairdresser to have brought about such perfect harmony between hut and hair. We will admit that this new silhouette, at first glance, seems designed for youth and youth only, but by way of encouragement to those who hesitate we're telling you that the off-the-face hairdress and the brim which reveals an expansive forehead are more flattering to those beyond debutante years than one might suppose. Then, too, as the new models continue to join in the style parade it is noted that milliners are introducing little softening touches in the way of front bandeau and other devices which are guaranteed to flatter. Nor is it fair to conclude that a soft arrangement of hair about the face is utterly taboo. On the contrary fashion is that sickle you are told in one breath to brush back your hair so as to show a plaid brow and the next instant it's rumors of "bangs" which reaches our astonished ears. The first picture in this group unmistakably carries the message of bangs. The little off-the-face hat is a Talbot triumph done in taffeta with a big bow of spotted ribbon. The talk of town for spring is the Breton sailor. Well, here you see it to the right at the top in the picture. It is made of black toya. The thing WITH PEPLUM By CHERIE NICHOLAS This very youthful-looking peplum frock is fashioned of olive green wool crepe, with brown velvet the trimming note. The peplum idea is being exploited for all it is worth this season. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1934. that is outstanding about the stripes for facing and scarf is that they are in the now-the-rage Mexican colors, for fashion has gone gaily Mexican this season. Your new suit blouse should be of Mexican striped silk or at least you should wear with your spring navy or black crepe frock a set of bizarre Mexican-striped costume jewelry. Just a word more about the popular Breton sailor, it need not be as severe in lines as you may conjecture, for milliners are giving all sorts of softening effects. Perhaps no type of hat is more important this season than is the tara turban. You will recognize at once that the model centered in the picture is one such. It is fashioned of matelasse straw with a row of buttons accenting the tara motif. No matter how stunach you have been in favor of snug close-fitting hats, you are going to find yourself talking, thinking and wearing brims this spring and summer. Which really will not be such a sacrifice after all, for the new brimmed models are that good looking and smartly tuned to occasion, it is said they will even be worn with suits as well as lighter frocks. The model below to the right in the group lends itself admirably to this thought for it carries a tailored feeling. In this Reboux "Desperado" we see a dashing example of the new side roll which is being strongly advocated. Last but not least we show you a Reboux halo hat. It is of leghorn, has a bound edge and illustrates the fondness for bows as an underbrim treatment. In conclusion hear this exciting news about flowers. Entire brims are being with them. The newsiest news of all is that flower trimmings are making their appearance on felt shapes. $ \textcircled{c} $ by Western Newspaper Union. SHOES MATCH GARB IN CUT AND COLOR New shoes for 1934 match clothes in cut and color. High-throated shoes appear as a smart accompaniment for the high-necked frocks, while oxford which lace over the top of the foot with six or seven eyelets are shown as advance spring footwear to be worn with dresses which lace up the front. Shoes which have flecked designs in several tones across the instep, suggesting the effect of flecked wools, are shown as a smart accessory to knitted or flecked wool sports frocks, and shoes covered with little diamond-shaped perforations are ready to be worn with high-necked frocks which have a diamond brooch flashing from the high neckline. Softness in New Dresses Feature of Season's Mode When one recalls the long and happy career of the Vionnet soft crepe afternoon dresses and the cry for more in similar genre it is not surprising that the stylists again recognize the possibilities latent in the soft crepe frock. The Vionnets were soft through cows, scarf details and circular fullness, while these latest types have unpressed pleats and careless drapes. But it is a type of frock which stands out as entirely distinct from the tailored daytime frock. Sports Attire Knitted or crocheted frocks, coats, suits and hats are being chosen by fashionable women for sports wear, and suede suits with revers faced in hand-knitted wool to match the accompany blouse are one of the smart sports novelties of the season. JUDGE FLORENCE ALLEN And the Doris Weaver Case State Supreme Court Decision—The N. A. A. C. P. to Oppose Her Candidate for Heirarchy, Tog. At a meeting of the legal defense committee of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, held in the office of its chairman, Representative Chester K. Gillespie, last week Friday, it was unanimously voted to oppose the candidacy of Judge Florence Allen for appointment to the circuit court to the State Supreme court, this fall should she seek another term. In order to acquaint the public with the history of the Doris Weaver case and to dispel false stories concerning the fight, it was also voted to prepare a complete record, under the supervision of Miss Weaver's counsel, of the now celebrated affair, for publication in our papers, to secure the aid of the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. for a statewide campaign to acquaint all of our people and liberal white voters with the dangers inherent in the decision. The Weaver case decision offers dangerous possibilities of a reactionary fascist kind which must be combatted. It was also voted to support the appointment of its supporters to secure passage The Congress of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill. A telegram voicing the committee's opposition to Judge Allen's nomination to the circuit court bench was forwarded to U. S. Senator Robert J. Bulkley. PROF. JOHN F. RANSOM Of Boston, an Old "Columbus Boy", Highly Entertained in His Old Home by White Friends and Others. Columbus, O., Feb. 7, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith, M.D. My dear Harry:—Am here for a short stay. I am the last remaining member of my family. Sister Lucy was laid to rest in Chillicothe, O., four weeks ago; Billy, fourteen weeks ago, in Boston. I am settling up property which comes to me now. Monday, Jan. 29. I was special guest of the 100 voice Republican glee club banquet (69th), here at the Neil House, and directed one number. Tuesday, I was guest of the famous Shrine Masonic chorus, 60 voices. I spoke and led them. They gave me a wonderful reception in their temple. Sunday, I was the guest of the famous King Ave. church-choir of 60 voices. Are you invited to the Otterbein College, where I taught, inviting me to address and direct the body. Last Sunday's Journal Dispatch ran my picture and referred to my directing big choruses. Next Sunday, I am to be with Broad St. Episcopal choir. One of my pupils will sing. You may imagine what a glorious time I am having. If time permits, I may direct Ohio State University Glee club, where I taught. The Lotus quartette, for 27 years considered finest in the East, sang 27 years in Tremont Temple, Boston. Hope this finds you well, and successful as you deserve. THAT MOTORMAN! The N. A. A. C. P. local branch has sent a strong protest to U. S. Senator Robert J. Bulkley against his recommendation of Judge Florence Allen for appointment to that circuit court bench vacancy. Good! But why the organization's delay in prosecuting that Scovill Ave. street-carline motorman who shot the E. 86th St. boy who was stealing a ride? Gabriel Farkas, E. 130th St., should have been placed under arrest, several weeks if not more. The police are bragging of conductors and motormen on that street-carline, all of whom seem to feel, and many are frank to say, they have "a right to 'tote' guns and use them to protect themselves and the property of the street-car company." Of course, this is not true unless the Cleveland Railway Company is given permission to arm its motormen and conductors for that purpose by city authorities. We are not likely to do so because there is no necessity for so doing. Then there is that law against "toting" guns. Let the N. A. A. C. P. local branch "get busy, pronto." THE OUTHWAITE CENTER. Our voters in Ward 12 can not understand why some of their number are not given inspectorships and better jobs when the 11th, 17th and 18th ward each have three or four or more at the garbage plant alone to say nothing of the rest of the city's service. Capt. Jim Beek with seems to be our only job in the city. Then, too, a change in the control of the train-waited-Portland Center is absolutely necessary for reasons too numerous to be stated at this time. Councilman Finkle and Ward Leader Alex. Bernstein have been warned by a number of our people and will make a great mistake, they will later on regret, if they do not make the changes just as soon as possible demanded by intelligent voters, not of ward 12 but of the entire city. It is simply a shame for that fine place to be without trained leadership. It sure needs it and sadly, too. All our readers will please "The Old Reliable" Gazette greatly if they patronize the May Co. in preference to other large stores in the city because that company gives employment to a goodly number of our girls and men. Be sure to read their advertisement elsewhere in this paper. LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abele Jr. President U.S.N.R. 11 DUNBAR APT'S.. N. Y. CITY CONSTABULARY. ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG- SHIP, JACOB RUPPERT, AN- ARTICIA, Jan. 29 (via Mackay Radio)-Well, here I am folks. Back again on the good old Jake. Flithy dirty and no chance to get clean. Dog tired, every joint I possess mady. But goshl What muscles I am developing! I've been told by the club secretary, by radio, that I've been lost. I didn't know it. But I've had the amazing experience of spending three nights — or rather the tiny parts of night I could spare for sleep, with the sun shining all night— in a tent with a snow floor And only the exhaustion of 20 hours a day of the most terrific physical labor could make me sleep on that cracking snow and ice floor. I'll never see a crack in a concrete sidewalk a gain without wanting to run And only the ce haustion of 20 hours a day of the most terrific physical labor could make me sleep on that cracking snow and ice floor. I'll never see a crack in a concrete sidewalk a gain without wanting to run Second Mate of away from it. the Ruppert Down here you'll see a tiny crack you could hardly put a knife-blade into. A few minutes later it is three feet wide and you're sprinting away from it as fast as you can go. In half an hour a piece of territory as big as ten football fields, with a horrible grinding sound, has slid into the ocean, which is 1600 feet deep around these parts and darn cold. Nice stuff to sleep on, eh? My job won't sound impressive to you. Checking gas and oil. Proscribe enough. I imagine, doing that in some warehouse or freight station. But on the edge of a slippery, crumbling cliff or snow and ice which is likely to disappear any minute and take you with it, well, prosac is not quite the word, believe me. All day yesterday and practically all night. we worked with furious energy on the ice to take advenience of good weather. The ship had been able, with the aid of our won derful motor boat cruiser, to snug up to the treacherous and unsteady ice cliffs after drifting about the bay for three days to save her from being sunk in a smother of falling ice cakes as big as houses. On the end of the big boom the landing net was spilling radio equipment and great red drums of gasoline and oil onto the ice. And George Noville C. P. Lindley, of Warren, R. I., several other fellows and myself were working frantically loading them onto the dog sleds and tractor sledges for the mad dash away from the edge of the ice to Pressure Camp, four miles back, where the ice hasn't started to crack up yet. Admiral Byrd, on a tour of inspection, had located several cracks he hind us but we were too busy to worry. He worried, though, as he always does about his men when there is danger around. He considers the breaking up of the bay too a terrific serious problem. But we toiled on undisturbed. Pretty soon, from the bridge, we heard the Admiral yell through a megaphone to Lindley. "Hey, Lindley, you're too close to the edge to work without a life line. Put one on immediately." This was Lindley's lucky day. The rest of us had life lines on, groups of us tied together on long ropes. Lindley did as the Admiral told him and attached himself to Noville and me. Darn good thing he did! We were loading up another sledge for another wild run to Pres- sure Camp when suddenly we heard the four ominous blasts on that deep whistle on the Ruppert. It scared the wits out of us. This was the signal to cast loose ship and dash aboard. In other words, it meant both we and the ship were in deadly danger and the ship was going away from there immediately. Before we could move a muscle the ice started breaking up all around us and underneath us, with that awful grinding sound. The sharp eyes of Admiral Byrd and Commodore Gjertsen had spotted its beginning from the ship. Tremendous cracks appeared like magic on all sides of us. One opened up directly under Lindley and he went head over heels into it, out of sight and almost took George and me with him. With all our strength we hauled him out, like a huge fish, and in the excitement Noville gave him a good kick, for no good reason at all. On the piece of ice that was falling next to the ship were several packing boxes of precious supplies and ten big drums of priceless gasoline. These simply had to be recruited. The big boom swung out quickly over the side and almost buried us with the landing net. Working like mad we rolled the drums and boxes hurriedly into the net and it was jerked into the air and onto the broad steel deck of the Ruppert. Thank the Lord that's not cracking up! On all sides men were scurrying about on the lee—some to dig out the buried steel hatch covers to which our mooring lines are attached and casting them off, others rushing to the makeshift gang plank to the ship, made of telephone poles and more hatch covers. Up that gangplank we scamped madly and the men on board got busy hauling it in. Will you believe it, five minutes after that whistle went off, the ship was moving out to open water, just as the whole area where we had been working, hundreds of yards of it, tumbled into the ocean. Oh boy, some excitement! But we're getting used to these sudden moves. Nothing happens slowly down here. Wonder if I shall ever be able to accustom myself to a peaceful life at home again. I certainly will for the first six months because I'll sleep that long the minute I reach there. You should see us. Our nice white working suits are filthy black. So are we and the beards we are growing are comical to see. We haven't had a real bath since we left New Zealand and the Ruppert, being an oil burner, has deposited on all of us a nice layer of sticky, oily soot which no amount of cold cream seems to budge. If I ever get into a nice white tiled bathroom, with plenty of hot water and towels and scrubbing brushes, I kiss its walls and eat the soap.
