Jones, totaling nearly 1,000 acres of land which encircled Wilberforce University property with the exception of one small farm of six acres of creditors and mortgagors and included the family residence in which the bishop's widow, Mrs. Augusta E. Jones, lived. Mrs. Jones would have been forced to move from her lifelong home, but for President R. R. Wright of the University who purchased it, giving her a life-interest. It is a historical place, at one time being owned by the founder of Wilberforce University and foster-father of Mrs. Jones. She lived in the palatial residence for more than thirty years. Bishop Jones died, last year. He was suspended by the General A. M. E. Conference which met in Cleveland in May, 1932. Several years ago, he was critically ill for months, never fully recovering.

One Arrested — Another Refusal— This Time It Was a Miss Collins, a Reporter. Washington, D. C.-Capitol police dispersed a shouting crowd of our students in the corridors next to the color-line House restaurant, Monday. About 20 from Howard University invaded the capitol and demanded service at the restaurant. Last Friday, service was refused Miss Florence Collins, a news reporter and a news reporter W. Carson Ryan Jr., director of education for the Indian Affairs Bureau, and Mrs. Dorothy Alden of Ft. Wayne, Ind., white friends of Miss Collins. She was served later in the Senate cafe. One of the youths was arrested when he "rugged" Harry Parker, aged messenger for the Ways and Means Committee. Parker had told the youth to "Go along now, boy." The student was charged with disorder conduct. Four students used a folding door, a staircase, an effort to prevent dispersal of the demonstrators. Four police matched strength with the students. FIRST ELECTRIC GARDEN SHOW Leads the World in Such Demonstration—Wonderful Effects and Progress Shown—Open Daily and Free to All. The first electric garden show, first for Cleveland and first for the world—begins its fourth week, Monday, in the auditorium of the Electrical League, beginning April 7, it will be open, each day, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., and is sponsored by the Garden Club of Ohio. There is no admission charge. J. E. North, president of the Electrical League of Cleveland, and his staff are on hand to explain the benefits of the plants, but for sale.

Nudging nature by electricity, thru the use of ordinary reading lamps, as well as by simple special devices for electric soil-heating and soil-sterilization, is being demonstrated daily. Among the most interesting are the combinations of bridge-lamps with brackets for holding ivy and other indoor plants. Motors that run at low cost allow plants to be moved for fountains and waterfalls are attracting attention as are the simple sets of outdoor lamps for lighting favorite corners of the garden. Electric hedge-shears, hot-beds, bug-killers, aquarium-heaters, lighted-lawn sprinklers and illuminated birds and animals for the lawn are on display. Members of the garden clubs of Ohio are attending meetings, each day, at the show and the Hall of Presents, display of flowers and electrical appliances in the lobby of the State Theater in connection with this the first Electrical Garden Show. SENTENCED WEDNESDAY A North Carolina "Bishop" Convicted on a Mann Act Charge. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Charles Manuel Grace, bishop of Charlotte, N.

Campbell remanded the elderly head of the "House of Prayer for All People" for seizing work, Wednesday, of the work. The government charged the bishop with transporting Minnie Lee Campbell to Washington with stopovers at Philadelphia and Baltimore. She testified that he was the father of her infant son, Charles Manuel Grace Jr. LEHMAN AND LA GUARDIA Speak at the N. A. A. C. P. 25th Anniversary Dinner—Both Call for Social Justice and the Mayor Pledges Assistance. New York City — Mayor Florielle H. La Guardia and Gov. Horbert H. Lohse are among the speakers at the 25th anniversary dinner of the N. A. A. C. P., one evening last week. In commenting on the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives restaurants color-line, the mayor turned to Congressman Oscar De Priest and said: "I wish I were in Washington now to help you in that fight. Why anyone would want to eat that pea soup they serve there I do not know, but I want to know what I want to thank it.

H. WESLEY AS A FOREIGNER BUT BARRED HIM AS AN AMERICAN. Warren's Declaration and Congressman De Priest's Fight—The Latter's Resolution Buried Miss Byrd, Manhandled, May File Suit. Washington, D. C.-The fight against restaurants in federal buildings for barring our citizens will be carried to the courts and fought out to the end by the N. A. A. C. P. New battle lines were drawn in the fight, March 14, when a party of five persons, three white, led by Mrs. Charles Russell was refusal service in the House restaurant by P. Johnson, North Carolinian "cracker" manager of the restaurant, who told the party of five flatly that he could not serve our people because he had "his orders" from Representative Lindsay Warren of North Carolina who is chairman of the accounts committee, which has charge the restaurant. He told Harlene Harlein and Robert Shaustick, all white; and Rev. Whitfield and E. L. Farrar left the restaurant after being told by the manager that "these people," meaning our two men, could be served in the basement cafe. Manager Johnson offered to serve the party "if they were friends of Congressman De Priest and if Mr. De Priest sat with them." They went directly to Representative Warren's office, but could not see the conference room, and proved his secretary, who, with difficulty, restrained his contempt for the party. "Are You a Foreigner?" The next day, another party which included Prof. Charles H. Wesley of Howard university, Rev. Russell J. Clinchy, Miss Katherine Wilsley, and Dr. Howard K. Beale, all white Professor Wesley. The next service, Manager Johnson asked Dr. Wesley if he were a foreigner! Dr. Wesley replied that he was an American. Then Johnson ordered that he be not served. A letter of protest was sent Representative Warren by this party. These tests of and protests against discrimination are being made by the Interracial committee of the District of Columbia N. A. A. C. P. branch. Charles Edward Russell, one of its committee in 1999, is chairman of the committee here. For legal assistance from the N. A. A. C. P. and has been assured of all the help he desires. De Priest Started Fight. Suits will be filed at once, as the opinion has been given here that all person with refusal will be in public restaurant at the capitol have grounds for damage suits under the Summer civil rights law still in force in the District of Columbia. The restaurants are now trying to dodge the classification as "public restaurants" by placing signs saying they are for members and employees only. This is a trick. The white public will continue to be admitted, but our people barred. The legal fight will expose this plainly. Representative everything except the race problem. Its an obsession with them, and you can't reason with a man who is obsessed." Gov. Lehman said among other things: "Philanthany is often confused with social justice. Philanthropy is necessary and is doing great good, but it is not necessarily accomplishing social justice." Congressman De Priest felicitated the N. A. A. C. P. on its birthday and discussed briefly his resolution pending in the lower house of Congress having relation to its restaurant color-line, and concluded with the following statement: "Whenever something like this comes up, they yell 'social equality.' I am not social equality. When Negroes first name to this country they were all black Now they are not and that proves there has been a good deal of social equality somewhere." James Calvin Jones, age 78, of Philadelphia, claims to have invented the device used by moving trains to pick up mail bags, and has asked leave to file a suit against the government for $24,000,000 for its use. St. Augustine, Fla. College has been willied $1,100 by a wealthy lady (white). Ms. Jean Robinson (maid) of Brooklyn, Mass., received $2,000 recently, from the estate of the late Mrs. Abe Levy of that city. James Steele of Boston, Mass., was recently awarded $5,300 in --- --- Doings of the Race 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 compari- with any will immediately be published in THE NEWEST AND BEST published in tl section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. Warren declared some weeks ago when challenged by Congressman De Priest that our people would not eat in the House restaurant as long as he had anything to do with it. Mr. De Priest is fighting now to get OSCAR DE PRIEST a resolution, which he introduced on this matter, out of committee where it has been buried. He needs 145 letters of agreement to get it out of committee. Senate Restaurant, Too! Possibility that suit may also be filed for damages for the manhandling of Miss Mabel Byrd by policemen in the Senate office building on Feb. 20 was seen here, Mar. 19, as the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors asked its legal committee to consider ways and means of taking some action in Miss Byrd's behalf, if she gives her consent for such legal action. The board also voted to ask Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York, who is chairman of the committee in charge of the Senate restaurant and who is running for reelection this year, to make an exhaustive investigation into the ejection of Miss Byrd. N. A. A. C. P. branches have been asked to back up Congressman De Priest's fight for freedom in the House restaurant and to demand a showdown from their congressmen on the whole subject of discrimination in federal dining rooms. municipal court there for injuries received in an auto accident. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, O. resigned his position in the Department of the Interior at Washington, D. C., on Feb. 1, 24. Dr. C. Burrows has been appointed a commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., succeeding Karl Phillips. "Tandy Nicked" for $12,500 London, Eng.—A local jury recently gave a $12,500 damage verdict, against Clarence N. ("Tandy") Johnstone of the vaudieville team of Layton and Johnstone, to Albert Sandler, a well-known British violinist whose beautiful platinum blonde wife (Jewish) was charged by her husband with misconduct with Johnstone on numerous occasions between December, 1930 and 1933. Sandler was also given a divorce. Layton and Johnstone have been very popular with English vaudieville audiences for nearly 12 years. Johnstone has had two wives of color. Masonic Temple Sold.

One student has been expelled from Fisk University, Nashville, and others may be suspended or expelled, for refusing to play "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at one of the local theaters (white). This would indicate that President Thomas Elsa Jones (white) of the university is not functioning properly. --- It is hard to believe that Bishop Joshua H. Jones left his estate in such a terrible condition. He was regarded as the financier de luxe of the great A. M. E. Church. President R. R. Wright, Jr., of Wilberforce University, shows that his "heart is in the right place" by purchasing the Jones home for the window, and is to be highly praised for his Good Samaritan act. N. A. A. C. P. IMPOTENT! With the appointment of Judge Florence Allen to the federal bench, the Ohio N. A. A. C. P. and the Cleveland branch in particular face a serious predicament. The organization as a whole has lost prestige. The Cleveland branch, ignoring the objections of treacherous elements which attracted national attention. Editorials appeared in our newspapers throut the country. The N. A. A. C. P. fight against the confirmation of Florence Allen was expected to assume tremendous proportions. What happened? The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. submitted to the U. S. senate within its ranks, started a fight diary committee a telegram of protest. That was virtually the sole extent of its objections to a court-ruling just as detrimental to the rights of the Afro-American as the dread Scott decision of a few generations past. The hollowness of the protest may be gleaned from the fact that Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, a vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P., took no stand against the Allen nomination. Both within the senate judiciary committee and on the floor of the senate, the confirmation was by unanimous vote. Ohio Afro-Americans have a right to ask a few questions of the national office of the N. A. A. C. P: Why did Senator Arthur Capper, an officer of the N. A. A. C. P., remain silent on the floor of the U. S. Senate? Why did Senator Robert F. Wagner make no effort to inquire into the Allen nomination? He knew that protests had been voiced, and he consistently poses as a friend of the race. Why did the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in New York city fail to lead, or direct that a fight be waged by its Ohio Conference or branches? Does the N. A. A. C. P. leadership actually believe that the Ohio Supreme court decision in the Weaver case is so unimportant that it can be ignored? Is the N. A. A. C. P. so devoid of executive ability that it cannot conduct two battles at one time? There are times in the history of societies when they evince power and determination. But vigor wanes with age, unless new sources of energy are tapped. What new sources of strength does the N. A. A. C. P. have? The few state organizations, it possesses, are largely "paper" organizations. Our young men and women are not being attracted by its reverence for antiquated shibboleths. Against the discriminatory tactics of the New Deal, the N. A. A. C. P. has proved incapable of making the slightest impression. In Oberlin, a former president of the branch opposes a fight against discrimination. In Cloumbus, an incompetent state president, entirely incapable of exercising authority, reduces the efficiency of the conference of branches to zero. The situation is no different in other commonwealths. Recruiting its members largely from professional elements, the N. A. A. C. P. has never obtained VIGOROUS, HAPPY CHILDREN IN THE PLAYGROUND. At Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, Inc., New York City. Founded by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. a firm foundation. Today, in the face of a growing economic crisis, it is pitifully inadequate. Shyster politicians of both races employ the organization as a tool to further their own interests. The welfare of the race is repeatedly sacrificed for the interests of selfish individuals. And the fruits of such a policy are the Weaver case in Ohio and its aftermath commendation of discrimination and prejudice by the President of the United States. If, in the immediate future, the N. A. A. C. P. cannot redeem itself by making of the Weaver case an issue of primary importance, if it can tolerate its Arthur Cappers as vice-presidents, then all that remains for it is decent burial. Dean Kelly Miller has yet to be refuted in his charge that the N. A. A. C. P., radical twenty-five years ago, is today ultra-conservative. Ohio's U. S. senators, Fess and Bulkley, voted for Judge Allen. Their obvious acquiescence, in the brand of law Judge Allen has dispensed, at least as far as our people are concerned, constitutes a serious challenge to Ohio Afro-American citizens. If the N. A. A. C. P. cannot offer political leadership at this critical moment, it must die. CIVIL SERVICE COLOR-LINE. Having reference to the State Civil Service Commission's requiring photographs and a statement as to racial connection, from all taking examinations for positions in state liquor stores and for licenses to ply the barber trade, Representative Chester K. Gillespie wrote The Gazette, under date, March 16, 194, as follows: "The General Assembly has enacted no law which requires the Civil Service Commission to secure photographs from any applicant desiring to take a state Civil Service Examination. This is simply an arbitrary and illegal rule of the commission. That is the reason for my request to the Commission which will undoubtedly be adopted, Wednesday, March 21, by the General Assembly." That photograph foolishness was originated years ago under the Thomas Woodrow Wilson southern Democratic administration and was retained by succeeding Republican administrations. Now it has been inaugurated in Ohio under the Democratic administration of Gov. George White. So we have Ohio Democrats emulating the despicable example set by southern Democrats under the Wilson administration. Such discrimination is contrary to the laws of Ohio and would have been stopped promptly by our people, if they were properly organized in this state. The N. A. A. C. P. Ohio Conference is not functioning promptly or properly, we regret to say. One thing is clear and that is we must do all in our power, this fall, to nominate and elect the right kind of a Republican governor of Ohio, as well as members of the State Supreme Court and State Assembly. Mike Matsis, proprietor of the restaurant at 3652 Central Ave., on Tuesday of this week was deprived of his license and ordered to close the place by City License Commissioner Patton who last week revoked the license of the Lee Baking Co., 7210 Central Ave. The firm had been warned by inspectors to clean up its premises but ignored the order. The proprietor of the Lee Bakery was fined ten dollars, recently, in Police Court for violating the sanitary code. Police and inspectors, watching the place, saw the bakers dump 90 loaves of bread to cool on the dirty floor. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wells, E. 95th St., was visited over a recent weekend by his sister, Mrs. Olive W. Ball of New York City, who is a leading member of "The Green Pastures" company.

DAD, HOW DO YOU LIKE MY "KOLLEGE KUT" SUIT! IT'S A BOIONEY! T Councilman Leroy N. Bundy introduced a resolution in City Council, last Monday week, that would require a license fee from all places that play music on any kind after 12 midnight. It is to be $5 for six months. As if all are not poor enough now! Some person or persons advertising a basketball game and dance to be given at Public Hall, sometime next month, are using the name "H. G. Smith" which many think is the editor of The Gazette who desires The Rounder to inform all making inquiry that he has no connection whatever with the affair. "The Colored Republican League of Ohio," being noted in several of our exchanges, has never been anything except an organization "on paper," and is nothing more now. Counselman Bundy's "election" to the House is at Columbus, has week Thursday, is a joke, pure and simple. What a lot of "hooie" that "Blossom Triplet" exudes. --- "Garbage Collector" writing a local daily paper of Monday complains that "in the Woodland Ave, section the merchants have a habit of deducting five and ten per cent for script" and closes his communication with the following sentence: "I can't see where this practice is fair." Nor can anyone else. All "Garbage Collector" has to do is to get two or three other regular patrons, of the merchants referred to, to join him in a personal statement notifying them that they will withdraw their patronage if the pernicious highway robbery practice is not discontinued immediately, and the "practice" will be stopped pronto. The Rounder is informed that last week, a delegation headed by Attys, Walter E. Carey and A. J. Cunningham, representing the great mass of our intelligent men and women of this community, called upon Councilman Herman Finkle, in the Standard Bank Bldg., and registered a vigorous protest against his retention of the deplorable conditions existing at the Portland-Outhwaite center to which attention has been repeatedly called in recent issues of the Gazette. Finkle may not know it, but he is making a great big mistake that will cause him no end of trouble when he steals money. He promised the delegation "to look into the matter." Better "step on it," Herman. The Gilpin Players are presenting "God's Own" by Isadore Bennett, and "Swamp Mud" by Harold Courlander, at Karamu theater. 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 a legitimate item, to purchase a purchaser, to 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.

Our first trail work of the season has started. And what an elaborate enterprise it is! And what an enormous mass of transportational equipment we are using for it. The main party, which will go out 200 miles to establish a food and supply base, consists of three dog teams of nine dogs and two men each. Behind this there will be a supporting party of two dog teams. And behind this group there will be the tractor a party using the two PETER Mechanic French Citroen and one American Cletrac tractors. These three parties will be kept in constant touch with the main base at Little America by radio and by three of our airplanes, the Condor, which has been given the name William Hortick, one of the chief sponsors of the Expedition, the Fokker and the Pilgrim. I am simply up to my eyebrows in the work connected with this interesting phase of the Expedition. One minute I am issuing kerosene to the dog drivers for cooking; the next I am passing out gasoline and oil for the tractors and the planes. The amounts consumed are simply enormous. On this trail trip we are using a thousand gallons of Tydo gasoline for the tractors alone and 800 gallons for the planes. Both groups will take sufficient food for 40 days. The supporting party and the main party will start the trip together. The supporting party will go out 100 miles, put down a cache of food, oil, gasoline and other necessities and return to Little America. The main party will continue and lay down a base 300 miles away—and then walk back home! Some walk! Conditions in our main camp at Little America are surprisingly good. We are quite comfortable except that I still hate to get up in the morning. We'll be entirely settled in another two weeks for our long year away from civilization. My sleeping bag is warm as toast but getting out of it and into my cold clothing at 20 degrees below zero with my boots frozen solid every morning makes for hurried Epidemic of 1,10 Costs Country SEVENTY strikes reported during the month of October bring the U. S. total for the year up to 1,630, involving approximately 688,000 workers of these 1,630 strikes, at most 1,100 have occurred in the last four months more than the annual total for any of the previous seven years. This four months epidemic of strikes has meant a wage loss estimated at $24,000,000 by the National Association of Manufacturers Strikes Increase in U. S., with Great Shows picketing Scene in One Disturbed Industry S 734 AT THE AGE OF TWELVE HE IS PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HIS TROUSERS HAVE PROGRESSED TO BELOW HIS KNEES= dressing, I am becoming as expert as a fireman at diving into my clothes. The coldest part of the program is the delay while I beat my boots against the wall to soften them up. In my spare time—and I have darn little of it—I am building a desk out of scraps of wood so I can have more comfort while writing these stories for our Club. I am also building another bunk, more substantial and a little fancier than the one I have been using. Making trail flags has been an interesting part of our work and we now have five thousand of them. They are small reddish-orange pennants mounted on bamboo poles. When a sledging party goes out on the trail these pennants are stuck in the snow every half mile or so, so the party will be able to pick up the trail on the way back to the base. We took aboard thousands of bamboo poles for this purpose at Panama, and now the guide flags are all ready for our fifteen dog teams for which we have put together 50 sledges. There are 56 of us left on the ice at Little America. The good old Bear of Oakland is coming back to us tomorrow bringing a new doctor from New Zealand to take the place of Dr. Shirley whose health would not let him stay with us. We have some work for the new medic to do. Some of the boys have been careless in not using their colored snow goggles and have been stricken with temporary snow blindness. There are also a few cases of influenza and one chap has some badly strained ligaments from a fall. Otherwise we are in good shape. The Bear will take out the last mail we can send for almost a year so you can imagine that everyone, in every odd moment available, is dashing off last minute letters to the folks at home. I have made quite an exploration of Little America on my own hook and next week I'll tell you some of the interesting things I found. The radio continues to tell me what a wonderful success our club is proving, with hundreds of new members every day and membership cards and maps going out by the thousands. Seems to me all of America must have joined by this time. If you and your friends haven't come in yet now is a swell time. There is no cost whatever to membership in our wonderful Club. Simply send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to C. A. Abele, Jr., President, Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y., and membership card, big working map of the South Polar region and, later, some other things, will be sent you. as a result of the waste of seven million working days. The direct cost to the employers is approximately six and a half million, and there is further inestimable loss in the products that would have been manufactured in the work-hours wasted in strike. The four months toll of the strike epidemic is conservatively estimated at $30,000,000, neglecting the lost value of unproduced goods. 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 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: 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. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage injury to any one, or pretending to exercise conceived power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 1.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. 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, for the 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, the widow of a child or 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 right 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 such 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 the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and MOBS. costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, or from such county to such 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. 163 11.) 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. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, living house, barber-shop, public convenience by landlord 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, nor 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. That trouble is our people will not use it as often they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. 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, it 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, it possible, smite it. You and have frequently, during fifth grade, been a member of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off 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.) NESTLE LUCKY RING 450 0000 BE LUCKY Have magic, love, and wisdom.

This alien inflow. The Rounder is told, has had a banal effect, particularly in Ward 12, because some eight or ten or more of these non-residents of the ward whom Councilman Finkle had as ward officers, the workers, the workers, were given the best jobs he secured, nearly all of which ought to have been given to his constituents of color. Report has it that there are a number of these Finkle appointees who live in the 24th Ward. While Capt. Jas. Beckwith, a member of the race, receives the pay of an inspector at the garbage plant, he is really traffic-officer there and doing that kind of work is not an inspector. That leaves Ward 12, the only one of our wards without an inspector of color at the garbage plant, he is present, and Burdy of Woes 18, the 11 and 17 each have one, two or more inspectors, it is said. The dissatisfaction among our voters in Ward 12 is growing daily, by leaps and bounds, as a result of the foregoing and much more. Ward 12's two inspectors at the garbage plant, one Italian and one Jewish. Add to the foregoing that John Hawkins, a graduate of Lincoln university and an experienced teacher of athletics, having served in that capacity for several years here in the city also, made application to the Portland-Outhwaite center, to be promised, he claims, the assistant superintendency, and then give a minor job, last week, somewhere in the basement of one of the many small buildings used by the city, and it is not difficult to predict what is in store for our friend, Councilman Herman Finkle, "the little Napoleon of the 12th Ward," when "The Blossom Triplets" again get after him in the not too distant future. Our voters of Woes 12, centrally persecuted by voting authorities, are demanding more and better jobs. Many are without any and complaining bitterly, while about all of our intelligent people of this community are demanding a change in the superintendency and assistant superintendency of the Portland-Outhwaite center. Finkle should give Revs. Van Pelt and Glover positions (elsewhere in the city's service) that they are capable of filling acceptably. P. E. H.

For centuries people have naturally thought that sharp-nosed objects would cleave the air and water with less resistance than blunt-nosed ones. This seemed so reasonable that until recent years no one even bothered to experiment to ascertain scientifically if the idea were true. To the amazement of the first experimenters, it was discovered that a sharp-nose creates more resistance for a moving object than almost any other shape. A broad front, which taps toward the rear—the natural shape of the shark or the whale—is the one which creates the least resistance. Nature discovered this long ago in her own engineering experiments. Man is only now applying the principle to his own transportation problems. By Scott Irwin "D" YOU think money grows on trees?

Down in this little-known South Sea island, known as Mary, money does grow on trees. They haven't dollar bills for leaves, but they bear, something just as good—coconuts. And coconuts are money in the Maldive Isles. Laborers are paid with them and debts are contracted and fulfilled with them. Coconuts are the original "comefactor" for the coconut industry; they dive Island matron tries to stretch her coconut money, instead of pinching her pennies, as we do in the land of the unedible dollar. But aside from passing as money, there are scores of other "believe-or-nots" about coconuts which make them as intriguing and romantic as a hunt for pirate treas- ) South Sea Island natives take it easy—and let the coconut tree do the worrying for them about the essentials of life. It is literally true that if these islanders had nothing but the coconut tree to supply their wants, they could pass their days in contentment. Most Useful Tree Requiring little cultivation, the coconut palm would be worth its salt if it supplied food alone. But there are 83 other different needs which this tree fulfills. Besides giving delicious and nutritious food and drink, the nuts, shells, leaves, and fruit of the coconut are of satisfying almost every imaginable primitive want. The coconut tree supplies the native with fire Blunt Noses Make It (Above) New Curtiss all-metal monoplane designed for Army Air Corps.

So important is the coconut in the South Seas, that when missionaries went to Christianize the natives, they learned to change "our daily bread" in the Lord's Prayer to, "our daily coconut". in order to make it understandable to their converts. Easy Life Harvest time means nothing to coconut trees—or to the fortunate folks who depend upon them for food, clothing, and shelter. The tree bears ripe coconut continuously, and has fruit in all stages of development, from blossoms to ripened nuts, simultaneously. It takes 16 hours a day to get his crops harvested in time whether this means anything. Many of the lazier natives don't even go to the trouble of picking the nuts. They just wait for them to fall to the ground when they ripen; others train monkeys to climb the trees, and bring them breakfast, lunch and supper. Willow, graceful, fern-like and romantic, coconut palms are never too tall to reach 85 feet high, and their roots sometimes attain a depth of 50 feet. A coconut tree begins to bear when it is 5, 6, or 7 years old, and continues for about 70 years.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1934. A average production is 40 coconuts a year, although some trees yield as many as 200. Forty coconuts will make about 13 pounds of the coconut we know—the curling shredded -kind that tempts young sters' fingers when mother is bak ing.

They provide a dover for his daughter, a pension for his wife, and real estate form of life insurance for his widow. Ingenious natives have devised a method of emptying the meat from the coconut without breaking the coconut shell—the two small soft spots on the end of the nut—and place the coconut in shallow water where a species of tiny shrimp abounds. Hungry shrimps swim through the holes, eat the meat, swim away, and eat the coconut shell for the local John Barclaye. Even more inventive is the robber crab of the Polynesian Islands. He climbs the towering trunk of the palm tree, picks a cocnut. He uses his claws until he makes a large enough opening to insert his smaller claw, and extracts the pulp. Coccones are one of the oldest food known to man. They are mentioned in the medical literature mentioned in the medical literature. 'Get Your Man' Is Now Help Your Man In Great Northwest BY DOC SCHNURMACHER CALGARY Alberta. That well known slogan "get your man!" so often attributed to the Canadian Mountains in the past is far more apt to be "help your man!" three days for the percentage of profes- sional bad men in the Northwest due to the unceasing activities of the forces of law and order, has dismissed almost to the vanishing point. Well policed as the Dominion is now, perils north of the vast American frontier still exist how ever, but they are largely due to civilization itself. Recent insurance statistics in this connection, reveal that many of the mishaps to life and limb that now take place are due to farm machinery, to automobiles and to accidental shootings during the hunting season. In the great open spaces where few doctors are to be found, the policemen of the wide-flung Dominion are as familiar with the use of modern first aid equipment as they are in the use of the six-shooter or the rifle. Through the prompt employment of first aid they yearly save the lives of quite a few sportsmen who are mistaken for moose or bears by other hunters, as well as many motorists who either do not apply their brakes quickly enough or misjudge the sharpness of a curve. In the thinly populated sectors of the Dominion where professional men must cover great distances and surmount many obstacles to render aid, such modern first aid products y Your Co or an Acq of India, in 1400 B.C., and there are references to them in Sanskrit writings laboriously carved in stone 3000 years ago. In those days coconut was not only prized for its flavor, but it was used as medicine. And in many parts of the world the coconut still has varied religious significances. Not only is the coconut an easy crop to harvest, but it is in many cultures a staple. A nobody known mainly where the coconut originated. Growing at the ocean's edge, the trees often drop ripened nuts into the water. The heavy husk is waterproof and very buoyant, so the nuts may float for months, drifting with the wind and currents. Action of the waves causes the triangular shaped nuts to burrow into the sand. Nothing could be finer for a coconut tree which thrives on sand and salt water and before you could say it was a coconut tree there is another blessed event! Support Millions Coconuts were known in America in colonial times; in fact, purchases of them are recorded in the account books of George Washington. But until 1896 they were enjoyed largely by people in seaport communities. Then a Philadelphia flour miller, Franklin Baker, was hired to pack the nuts from Cuba in payment for a shipment of flour. He developed new methods of opening, processing, and packing the nuts so that coconut could be distributed anywhere. Today coconut cake is the second most popular cake in the world, and coconut cake is the coconut crescent pie in popularity. Although nobody knows exactly where the coconut originated, it is now scattered throughout the tropics, and today is the world's most important food fruit, supporting millions of natives. More than ten billion coconuts are produced every year—or more than three hundred per second. If they were laid end to end, (which would look very different) would encircle the 90 times, or they would make enough coconut pies to keep all the husbands in the world happy until their golden wedding day (which most men would say wasn't silly at all). "Grinning Face" The coconut did not get its name in the East, where the fruit was first mentioned in literature. From the 6th to the 16th century it was known as the India nut. Then the face-like appearance of the eyes on the nuts led the Portuguese and Spanish, who encountered them in the East, to use the term "coco" after the use of the word "meaning grin, or grinning face. To the average American, the feathery fronds of a palm tree swaying in the tropical breeze bring thoughts only of movie sets, coconut frostings, or travel catalogues. But for millions and millions of people in far away life coconuts are a matter of life or death . . . the central feature of their existence, giving pooh even more food. "Who plants a coconut tree, plants vessels and clothing, food and drink, a habitation for himself, and a heritage for his children." Carelessness and mistakes are responsible for many accidents during the hunting season. Below—American tourist visitor shows that she carries her own first aid equipment in her car. as red cross cotton and gauze, zo and Drybak adhesive plasters, and band aid speed bandages, take on an added importance and are frequently used. These latest offerings of science to the relief of human suffering, are, according to Mr. Ellsworth Gale, director of the Red Cross Division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, foremost manufacturers of first aid products, especially designed to stand up under the inclement weather which the victim of an accident may encounter before he reaches shelter and medical aid. The adhesive plaster of yesterday has scientifically replaced by the Drybak adhesive plaster of today, rainproof, dustproof and thoroughly hygienic and other first aid products are equally advanced. As for the many cases where the sufferer is alone and unadvised, it is now possible for him to help himself until aid reaches him by bandaging the cut or wound with Drybak band-aids — waterproof speed bandages that are easy to apply.
