Jones and his mother, Augusta E. Jones, as co-administrators of the estate of late Bishop Helen Wilberforce. The Citizens National Bank holding several of the notes as collateral security for a loan made to the bishop, is named co-defendant in the petition. Recently the sheriff of Greene county sold the reality holdings of the late Bishop Jones, totaling nearly 1,000 acres. Most of the property was bought by creditors and gravesites, and included the $8,000 two-story stucco residence in which the bishop's widow lived. This property was purchased by President R. R. Wright of Wilberforce University. YOUNGSTOWN.—The Ohio Valley Baptist B. Y. P.

Kid Chocolate, featherweight champion, was held to a draw by Bobby Gray (white) in their 10-round bout at San Jose, Cal., recently. He is evidently baiting Bobby for a match with a fat nurse. ON WHAT DOING One thing developed by the gasoline employees' strike was the fact that Alonzo Wright does not own but produces stations he controls for the Standard Oil Co. So the statement that he owns four or five gasoline stations in this city is not correct, it seems. When the government finishes its housing project in district No. 1, beware of the "white elephant" will be all it wants of the kind. Mark our prediction. The Rounder does not believe that other housing plans in that section of the city will ever be carried out. "The Syndicate" (named such by Bundy) split at Monday evening's meeting of City Council, Councilman Payne, Bundy and Finkle sticking together in an effort to get council representation on "Welfare Director David S. Ingalls" Citizens Advisory committee (5) to supervise the administration of City Hospital and whose principal role is to be the officer of the hospital and to recommend ways of correcting the institution's physical deficiencies." Councilman John E. Hubbard, the fourth member of "The Syndicate," was wise and "walked out" on his colleagues. The advisory committee, the members of which serve without pay, like the City Council has no authority to permit racial or color discrimination at the hospital, something the state law prohibits. What Payne, Bundy and Finkle were undoubtedly struggling to do, he felt the need for the City Hospital, the councilmen include Michell and Cohen, and the independent Democrat, Reed, and voted against them, and only Krewson, independent Republican, was absent from the meeting, Monday evening. "Sonny" DeMaioribus, president of the Council, made a plea, in an effort to help them, but in vain. The two "Blossom Triplets" and Finkle were "out of luck." That's all. The Rounder has confidence in the Council. We do wonder if he will permit and his racial or color discrimination at City Hospital or knowingly appoint as a member of his advisory committee any "prominent citizen of the community" who would favor such fool action. After the foregoing was written, we learned of the appointment of Atty. Alex H. Martin to represent our people on the committee. This we feel sure will prove satisfactory to all concerned. Thanks, Mr. Director. This is the administration of City Hospital, and it was one it was, too) since the mayor was sworn into office, some months ago. It shows that "the worm has turned at last" and that from now on, especially after May 15, '34, we may look for the rapid upbuilding of a local Republican organization that will first be loyal to Mayor Harry L. Davis.

The ROUNDER MAY 5, 1934 MAYOR DAVIS Discusses Briefly the Contemplated Deficiency Bond Issue—All Must Vote For It. Mayor Harry L. Davis, Wednesday night, gave some idea as to the policies he intends to adopt for the operation of the municipal government when the proposed $4,000, deficiency bond issue is approved at the special city election, May 15. He said he would try not to expend city pay rolls beyond the size they were, April 1, when he instituted an economy program; that he was not sure whether pay reductions now in ef- PETER H. fect could be restored; and that he does not consider any administration plans for the construction of a $225,000 decorative wall around Parma Reservoir or the building of a sewer from the Industrial Rayon Corp., thru Big Creek Valley to the Cuyahoga River, to be pertinent to the bond issue. Administration critics have contended that Davis should disavow those two projects if he expects universal support for the deficiency bonds. "I don't any connection with the deficiency bond issue," Davis said, "and I don't believe I will say anything about them until I make a radio speech on the bond issue," next Tuesday or Wednesday. ALEXANDER H. MARTIN Appointed to Represent Our People in the City Hospital Advisory Committee. As anticipated by The Gazette, Welfare Director David S. Ingalls has given our people representation on his antiterrorism committee to help in the management of City Hospital The City Council confirmed the di- [Name] rector's appointments at its meeting, Monday evening. They are: Herman R. Neff, president of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce; Atty. Atele Pomerene, former U. S. Senator; Atty. Alex. H. Martin, Mrs. Alfred A. Brewster and Mrs. Tyler W. Carlisle, leaders in women's organizations of the city. Our people of this community can depend upon Martin's keeping mindful discrimination out of City Hospital and securing our patients and others at that institution the treatment they are entitled to as American citizens; nothing more, nothing less. We thank Director Ingalls for this recognition of practically one-third of the Republican voting strength of the city of Cleveland. Third Set of Twins!

C.—Charles Sumner and the group of statesmen who gave vitality to the Republican party in its earlier years should return to life and revisit the halls of Congress and note its apostasy from the doctrine of human rights. greatest impulse to national prosperity now faces the American people in the coming election, without any vital issue. It has assumed the role of criticism and negation. Its only hope of success consists in finding flaws in Roosevelt's New Deal. There The Republican party has been built up on two fundamental principles—one human and the other material. Equality of citizenship and the protective tariff have constituted the two vital planks in its platform from its foundation until quite recent time. I believe that it is a political, if not a moral principle, that whenever an organization radically departs from the basic principles upon which it was founded, it must ground to hear the muffled drums of fate beating its funeral march to the grave. The Grand Old Party began to ease up on human rights and to emphasize material prosperity under the dominance of James G. Blaine. Curiously enough, it was this same Maine statesman who first suggested modification of the protective tariff under the guise of reciprocity. Those of older memory will recall that Mr. Blaine soft-pedaled the human rights issue during his presidential time of 1884. On the evening of the day of his defeat, from his home town in Maine, he warned the county of danger by construcing and reconstructing amendments to be reconstructed by violence or fraud. Ever since the compromise of 1876, the Republican party has been gradually receding from its first human principles until today they remain only as a curious survival or what the sociologists would call a culture lag. Present day Republicans would hardly be on speaking terms with Ulysses S. Grant, Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner, nor with its more recent exponents like Joseph B. Foraker and Thomas B. Reed. Human rights have given way to economic issues which in turn have digged behind the faces of the masses of the world. The old Blaine doctrine of reciprocity has blossomed into Roosevelt's negotiated tariff while the Grand Old Party stands listlessly by and watches its ancient adversary stealing its crown. The party which freed the slaves, reunited the nation, completed the original purpose of the Constitution by three vital amendments and gave the Showing Our Troops in Action, to Be Produced by the Lincoln Film Corporation of New York City. New York City.—A motion picture dealing graphically with the work of our troops in the World War is now in production and will be released within the next few weeks, it was announced today. The picture, which will contain hitherto suppressed "shots" taken during the great conflict by the U. S. Signal Corps, will be titled "The Unknown Soldier Speaks." While many films dealing with the subject of war have been produced in the past few years, none has as yet shown in any detail the very important part played by our troops stationed along the western front. This the new photoplay will attempt to make a persuasive to compare the present situation, with its unrest, with the situation which immediately preceded the great world conflict. Robert Rossen, who produced and directed the anti-Nazi play "Birthright," will write and direct "The Unknown Soldier Speaks." THEY "STOLE THE SHOW!" Des Moines, Ia.—While 18,000 spectators looked breathlessly on, Ralph Metcalfe, of Marquette U. won the feature 100-yard dash of the Drake Relays on Saturday, despite a serious right leg injury. Furnishing additional thrills the University of California's crack mile relay team, with Jimmy LuVale, another member of the race, running as anchor man, won their favorite event and broke the one-mile relay record established eleven years ago. The new mark is 3:15.9. Metcalfe's time for the century was 9.7 seconds, an extraordinary mark in view of the fact that he was running directly into a six-mile wind. Metcalfe also ran as anchor man on Marquette's victorious 440-yard relay team. --- --- A WORLD WAR FILM 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- son with any will immediately be NEWEST AND BEST published in the section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. greatest impulse to national prosperity now faces the American people in the coming election, without any vital issue. It has assumed the role of criticism and negation. In hope of finding a solution, in finding an Roosevelt's New Deal, There is an utter lack of positive constructive declaration of principles. Mr. Joseph Benson Foraker. Joseph Henson Foraker. Hoover postulated nineteen points in his speech of acceptance as the means of restoring the prosperity which assured the nation, was just around the corner. The originators have abandoned all of these points which Mr. Roosevelt has not appropriated and made his own. It is more than worthy 'of note that Theodore Roosevelt, the younger, who is supposed to be aspirant for his father's mantle as leader of the party, has recently declared for return to constitutionalism. The new constitutionalism which the newly aroused Republican leaders now seek has reference mainly to economic and industrial procedure which they aim to keep within the frame of the Constitution. There is little or no intention on their part or expectation on part of the public that the Grand Old Party will resume the human rights amendments, which gave the party impetus and start in the good 'old days that are past and gone. Kelly Miller. A Life-Long Wriend of the Race Praises Dr. F. J. Grimke's "Serious Discussion." A printed copy of "What Is to Be the Real Future of the Black Man in this Country" a serious discussion of what is really to be the future of the Afro-American, by Rev. Francis J. Grimke of Washington, D. C., delivered in the 15th St. Presbyterian church there in March of this year, was sent to Judge A. R. Webber of the Lorain Common Pleas Court at Elyria by his long-time friend, Senator John P. Green of this city. In acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet and after reading the same, the judge wrote Senator Green, under date April 21, 34, that the judge wrote Senator Grimke in all that he had said in the publication. In concluding his letter to the senator, the judge wrote, among other things: "Now you have national orators, world-noted singers, poets, great educators and preachers. In fact, today in all these fields, you are at the top. You have banks and large deposits in the southland manned by your race. Your progress has been marvelous." Judge Webber and Senator Green have been close friends for many years. POETS TO THE RACE! In the May issue of The Crisis there appears some unusually interesting poetry from the pen of Harvey M. Williamson, a resident of Cleveland. It is surprising that he is a writer, after all, of world, Mr. Williamson's stanzas, entitled "From the Delta's Unmarked Graves," are captivatingly done in the manner of Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology."

SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1934 As we go to press, the election returns from the fifth congressional district of Alabama indicate the probable defeat of former U. S. Senator J. Thomas Heffin of that state, one of the several Democratic candidates, Hefin, it will be recalled, was the Ku Klux Klan orator and always a bitter enemy of the race. It is earnestly hoped that the indication shows the final result of the contest in that district as far as he is concerned. We neglected to say in our last issue that a copy of the letter, under date April 24, '34, sent to the Hon. Wm. H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., protesting the insulting motion-picture, "Carolina," was also sent to Gov. George White and the Ohio Board of Film Censors at Columbus. On April 13, '34, the Governor requested "proper consideration" of "Carolina" by the board. We have not as yet heard from the board but are daily expecting to do so. Congressman-at-Large Stephen M Young (Dem.), a candidate for nomination at the coming state primary election, was the speaker at St James Forum, last Sunday afternoon. The highlight of his address was his statement that he voted for the DePriest resolution, mentioned in a Washington letter elsewhere in this paper, and explained his failure to sign the DePriest petition, for the early consideration of his resolution, by saying that he was not asked to do so. We were given to understand several weeks ago, that Mr. Young had been asked to sign the petition. We are investigating. PUSHING THE NEW DEAL Writing in the Philadelphia Tribune, Eugene Davidson gives a list of our prominent men who have secured positions of apparent importance within the Roosevelt administration. Robert L. Vann, Eugene Kinclek Jones, Forrester B. Washington, Lawrence A. Oxley and William T. Thompkins head the list; and a substantial number follows. A casual reader might be impressed to the extent of imagining that the New Deal actually had something new to offer 13,000,000 Afro-Americans, until he remembers that President Roosevelt has been in office over thirteen months and has shown no intimation that he proposes to concern himself seriously with such issues as lynching, insufficient relief, unemployment, denial of the franchise, the Scottsboro case, or the latest trend toward wholesale executions of members of the race, following imitation trials in southern courts. What has Robert L. Vann, "special assistant to the attorney general," whatever that means, done in the way of urging his chief to make a study of peonage? What has the entire crew of our labor experts done except to publish a few studies that reveal the extent of Afro-American THE "mechanical detective," being introduced in Ohio by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, is chilling the blood of slug droppers. No longer does the user of lead nickels, dimes and quarters nonchallantly drop his spurious coins into pay telephones. In every booth lurks the potential danger of detection by a robot sleuth. The new device, which can be installed within any pay telephone slavery without drawing intelligent conclusions or offering remedies? Reactionaries seldom will admit that the world changes and they must change along with it or pass into oblivion. If the present array of New Dealers imagine it can halt the forward steps of an army of our men and women by giving comfortable berths to a few imaginary race leadleaders, they are going to be sadly mistaken. If the brain trust really possesses an abundance of gray matter, let it apply some of this valuable substance toward destroying the vestiges of slavery. WHERE DO WE TURN? DOINGS OF THE RACE Dean Wm. T. Williams of Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute has been awarded the Spingarn medal for 1933. May 12, home-coming day for Spelman College (Atlanta) graduates. Atty. Robert B.

Emmett Marshall, who has only one arm, broke open the door to a police car, which had been turned over in a collision, and liberated two severely injured officers, in Chicago, last week. HAVE CONFIDENCE In Our Joint Committee on National Recovery it is Doing Workable Worldwide. The fight which the Joint Committee on National Recovery, John P. Davis, executive secretary, has led for the payment of equal wages under the NRA codes for our and white workers has, as was to be expected, been met with stubborn resistance by southern white employers. They were not prepared for the concerted attack of 22 national organizations on what the South claims to be their God-given right to pay our men and women less wages and to work them longer hours than it does now, to be afforded a good of six months. The Joint Committee appeared in more than fifty public hearings on NRA codes and demanded for our workers the same right to a decent living wage that was being given to others. TAX GOAL IN SIGHT. The tax collection total moved within striking distance of the $22,200,000 budget goal, late Tuesday when mail payment less all abatements brought the figure to $21,714,366. Deputies in the county treasurer's office said the work of tabulating mail receipts will give rise to renewed belief that the goal would be reached or passed. This Saturday evening, the John J. Boyle Social club, composed of employees of the county treasurer's office, will give an all-nation dance and card party at Public Auditorium, all worked hard for its success and indications point to a large attendance. Prizes and refreshments. All welcome. Swecney Group Again Active. Practically all of the capable workers in the Congressman Martin L. Sweeney organization in the 18th ward, last fall, are active in its revival under the name of the 18th Ward Roosevelt League for Social Justice.

Roseboer, pres.; Dr. J. O. Catalan, vice-pres.; W. E. Hlatt, sec.; Mrs. "Girlie" Reese, assist, sec.; Eugene F. Cheeks, treas, and Allen H. Dorsay, chairman of the executive committee. Others prominent in the league are Atty. Peter T. McCormick, vice-pres.; and R. C. Herod. At the meetings, every Friday, at the same place, new members are sought. DePRIEST WON. Washington, D. C.—The DePriest resolution, as amended by the Rules Committee of the U. S. House of Representatives, opening the doors of the House restaurant to all, was passed, last week Wednesday, by a vote of 237 to 114. The Democratic members from the South were solidly against it, but northern Democrats, to their everlasting credit, went with the Republicans in favor of the resolution. Sight. Restored. Tuskegee, Ala.—After being blind for thirty years, George Owens (white), 103 years old, a Confederate veteran who fought in Hood's Army in the battles around Atlanta, had his sight restored when Dr. C.

LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.NR 21 Salt Has Many Applications Besides Its Use As Seasoning LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTICA April 11 (via Mackay Radio)—Now we are getting some real Antarctic weather. And, oh boy! I never knew what winter was before. You should see one of these whistling blizzards. Everything will be calm and peaceful but grey, because we are getting practically no sunshine now. The temperature will be around 60 below zero. Suddenly, in a few minutes, we'll be engulfed in a howling tempest, with blankets of snow swirling through the air before a singing 80 mile-hour wind and the thermometer will go up way to zero or 5 or 10 above, only to drop again when the storm is over. The visibility during these terrifying storms is practically nil and it is impossible to travel even between the buildings in Little America without support and guidance. At present we have a life Alphonse Carbone Our Cook line strung up between all the buildings and the mess hall. You should see this crowd going to meals during a storm. The men come crawling up like fury ants out of the snow that covers their quarters and pull themselves along the life lines to the mess hall. Woe betide anybody caught outside the camp in one of these storms! But that does not mean, of course, we shall be confined to our buildings. You can't fool with south polar weather when it's winter time down here. I must tell you something that fascinated me the first time I saw it. All the dogs will be frisking or lying on top of the snow. Suddenly one of these blistering storms comes up. Immediately the dogs start digging down into the snow, which covers them completely. In three minutes there isn't a dog in sight. And after the storm they come popping up again and go on frisking or sleeping. Some sight! The wind down here is something I never dreamed of. It is impossible to remain out of it for any length of time without freezing the exposed or insufficiently protected parts of the body. Already we have had several cases of frozen noses, ears, fingers and toes. Annying, itchy and painful, but no serious cases—yet. These blizzards all our buildings become snowed in and our tunnels are the only answer. These are being completed rapidly. We are digging a lot of new ones "DURE table salt has many other "PURE table salt has many other uses besides cooking and gracing the dining table," according to Miss Emily Banks, head of the Research Bureau of the Worcester Salt Company who points out that one of the best uses for salt at this time of the year, when flowers are being used as decorations in a great many homes, is adding a pinch of salt to the water in which the flowers are placed, making them stay fresh longer. "There are many other practical uses for pure iodized salt, of which the average housewife may not be fully aware," says Miss Banks. "With the coming of the warm weather, perspiration stains may be removed by soaking the garment in a solution of pure salt before washing. Use a handful of salt to each quart of water." "In cleaning the house, dirt may be removed from curtains readily by adding half a cup of salt to the water in which curtains are being soaked. This loosens the dirt more rapidly." "Silver also may be quickly cleaned by adding one-half cup of salt and three-quarters cup soap flakes to sufficient cold water to cover the silver in an aluminum pan. Remove from fire as soon as it boils. Wash silver in hot soapy water, a few pieces at a time, and and we will use some of those constructed in 1928. Little America, a few weeks from now, will become an underground village with several miles of connecting tunnels. George Noville and I are going to have a two-day celebration of birthdays. Mine is on the 23rd and his is on the 24th. I'll be 23 and am going to try to broadcast a radio greeting to my twin brother, Sanford, at home. The Admiral's birthday is October 25th. By the way, I don't believe I told you just where the Admiral is spending the winter in his lonely but. Mark it on your club map. It is at 80 13 south 163 10 west. He is all comfortable and well. We talk with him frequently by radio. I have gained sixteen pounds since leaving New York and all the men here have gained about 2½ per cent. We'll gain more, too when our furious work of preparing for the winter is finished. Cooped up indoors we'll get very little exercise and already seal meat is on our diet twice a week. I have changed my mind about its taste and now find it palatable and tender. It is very fattening and contains all the necessary vitamins and calories to enable one to cope with the rigors of the extremely low temperatures. It is a very healthy life we're leading but not entirely free of discomforts. Yesterday I worked so hard I perspired and when I stopped working the moisture made my clothes freeze to my body. I had to go to the kitchen to thaw out. I have just learned by radio that 104 school and college teachers have enrolled their entire classes in our club, and have received personal radio messages from Admiral Byrd welcoming them and their pupils. All these young people have been sent the beautiful $20\frac{1}{2}$ $21\frac{1}{2}$ inch working map of the Antarctic and their membership cards, all free. Eventually they will also receive tapel buttons with the club name on them. The teachers must send the home addresses of pupils so our New York staff can make out cards for them. Membership in this unusual club is absolutely free. It was organized at Admiral Byrd's request and it's only purpose is to foster a greater interest in American aviation and exploration. To join and receive our big map and membership card, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope (clearly written) to Arthur Abele, Jr., president, Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y. dry thoroughly. This method cleans silver beautifully. "Ink spots, the source of many housewife's grief, may be removed from carpets by pouring salt immediately on the wet ink spots, changing the salt frequently. This will soak up the ink and remove the spot. Even the old spots may be consistent with the saprophytic by wetting spots with water and applying a thick coating of salt." OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION His Ohio Civil Rights Law.

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.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such children, such sum shall be distributed among such children in 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.

Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having originated dissolution of an action for damages for malicious assault.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured in the act, 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, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was continuity negation on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner and disperse 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. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, hotel, or house shop, shall conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars or more than five 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. published in a Boston newspaper 51 or attempting to extort funds from be by exhibiting a device which he be any distance over metallic wires tener at the other end . . .

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal education, that they are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. 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, give thing advertised to a good appearance apportioned by advertising through legitimate medium. Purchasers as a rule pay little attention to circular and handbill advertising because the medium through which it is advertised shares none of the responsibility as to the reliability of the thing advertised.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. SCIENTISTS have recently discovered in the dark, rain-drenched forests of Haiti a spear ironwood trees, and of almost all species of pines, firs, hemlocks, cedars, cypress or cottonwoods. In the northern forests, where man-speakers spend the summer, numen cies of woodpecker which builds its own apartment house. They reported seeing a dozen pairs of woodpeckers going in and out of nests in a single dead tree trunk. There are few birds that so satisfactorily reveal their family connection as do the woodpecker. The beginner in bird study may learn that the meadowlark belongs to the family "ficteridae" but he may be excused if he does not learn at once that the bobolink, the oriole, and the red-winged blackbird, all striking different in habits and color, belong to the same family. He may study the wood thrush, and be surprised to find later that the robin and the bluebird bear to it a close family relationship. But if he becomes thoroughly familiar with the appearance and activities of just one woodpecker, he will thereafter be able to recognize at once any other member of the family "Picidae" which he may encounter. Woodpeckers are of wide distribution. They inhabit all the countries of the globe except. Madagascar and the Australian region. More than four hundred species are known, and many geographical races of these have been described. In North America the family is represented by ten genera, classified into 22 species, several of which in turn are divided into subspecies or geographical races. In all, 64 kinds of woodpeckers are recognized in continental United States, Canada and Baja California. Sensible and Busy Birds. Woodpeckers give the impression of being practical, sensible birds. Under ordinary circumstances, they do not show a hysterical fear of man; they are wary, but do not let that interfere with their work. They are very busy birds and most of the time are absorbed in climbing about tree trunks and limbs. They get along together fairly well. One sees few serious combats among them. They do not possess the stately dignity of the heron, the singing powers of the thrush, or the graceful flight of the swallow. Woodpeckers do not stir the imagination to thoughts of distant lands, as does the wild goose when far overland we see him leading his flock toward the frozen pole. The woodpeckers are known rather as hardworking, substantial citizens of the bird world, rendering service which could ill be spared. These birds possess highly specialized equipment for their business of getting a living. They are the only birds in our country that can dig holes in solid trees. As a group they pass most of their days pecking decayed trees or stumps for ants or the larvae of wood-boring beetles. No other bird leaves behind such striking evidence of its presence. A hundred thousand warblers may migrate through a small region, and many may remain for the summer and rear their young. When they have gone, little sign of their former presence is left behind; but a half dozen woodpeckers in the same community will leave very definite evidence of their occupancy. Numerous holes in dead trees, with here and there an entrance to a nesting cavity, will all bear convincing testimony that these birds have been in the forests and the orchards of the neighborhood. Woodpeckers nest in hollows which they dig in trees, and all of them lay white eggs on a bed of fine chips at the bottom of the cavities. Their tails usually number four, two of them pointing forward and the others backward. This arrangement enables the birds to grasp firmly the side of a tree, and especially is this the case when they brace themselves with their twelve long, stiff tail feathers. One Kind Goes After Sap. The sapsucker, (a species of woodpecker), is looked upon with serious disfavor by foresters and orchardists, some variety of it being found in nearly every part of the country. This dislike arises from its universal custom of pecking holes in live trees. The bird does this chiefly to get the sap which flows upward through the soft camblum, lying just beneath the bast, or inner bark, and it also eats the camblum and bast. To get this food the sapsucker drills holes in rings around the tree, or, at times, in rows on the trunk, or along a limb. As the sap collects in the openings, it is consumed by the bird until the little springs begin to fall, when another series of holes is made near the first one. Thus the work continues, until large areas of the tree may be covered with these perforations. The sapsucker will take the sap of maple, mountain ash, pear, plum, apple, cherry, oak, peach, spruce, and ironwood trees, and of almost all species of pines, firs, hemlocks, cedars, cypress or cottonwoods. In the northern forests, where many sapsuckers spend the summer, numerous birch trees are killed annually by them. In the Northwest, where at times sapsuckers are usually plentiful, whole apple orchards have been destroyed. In some trees, such as maples, walnuts, and hickorches, their holes often pierce the sap wood beneath the cambium. In the subsequent growth of the trees, these wounds sometimes cause curly or bird's-eye wood well known to lumbermen. More often, however, this exposure of the wood allows insects, fungi, or bacteria to enter. These cause blemishes or decayed areas, which reduce in value the lumber which later may be cut from the tree. About the rings of holes made by these birds in locusts and sycamores, shoots often sprout from adventitious buds, and thus the symmetry of the tree is marred. Not only are hundreds of thousands of trees injured by sap suckers, but a considerable proportion of those that are attacked die either the same year or subsequently. The woodpeckers do not confine their attentions wholly to trees. They make their explorations for sap through the bark of various large vines, such, for example, as the Virginia creeper, poison ivy, rattan, and trumpet creeper. Close about the nesting tree of the sapsucker there are various trees where the old birds go for their sap, and where they take their young when they leave the nest. Here the family spends the summer with an abundance of normal food supply at hand. At this season they eat also ants, flies, beetles, and various other insects which are drawn to the flowing springs of sweet sap. Other woodpeckers come to these little fountains, as well as humming birds, warblers, and at times red snirrels. Flicker Is the Best Known. Among the woodpeckers the flicker is a bird of distinctive personality, and it attracts universal attention. Undoubtedly it is known to far more people than are the other woodpeckers. Its local names are numerous. "Wilkrissen," "yucker bird," "goldenwinged woodpecker," "high-holder," "pigeon woodpecker" and "yellow-hammer" are some of them. Of late years the custom has developed of adopting a "state bird." Already choice has been made by the organizations of 43 states, and in Alabama, not long ago, the question of which bird should be chosen created not discussion. In the end the "yellow-hammer" was decided upon. The fight for its name was led by a women's patriotic organization, members of which called attention to the historic fact that a company of Alabama youths had placed the bird's feathers in their caps and, designating themselves "yellow-hammers," had marched away, singing, to the Civil war. The red-headed woodpeckers and others of the family will now and then dart down to a road or to the lawn to capture an insect, or to pick up an acorn, but when the flicker drops to the ground he remains there for some time, until frightened away. In the woods, the field, or the garden, one may come upon him hopping awkwardly through the grass. His chief interest at such times is ants, which constitute 50 per cent of his food. He secures them by use of his remarkable tongue, which can be thrust outward two and a half inches or more beyond the end of the bill. His tongue is at all times covered with a sticky saliva, which catches and holds the ants as they rush forward to attack what appears to be a long worm that has crawled across their path or entered their burrow. This tongue is a very wonderful organ. In the mouth it branches, and the two horns pass up the rear of the skull. On top they meet, and close together the two parts run forward and downward over the right eye to the nostril, which they enter, and extend onward to the end of the bill. How They Feed Their Young. How they lay. Like other woodpeckers, these birds feed their young by regurgitation. When the little ones are old enough to come out, the mouth of the nesting hole to be fed, this operation may oftener be observed. The parent puts its bill into the mouth of a nestling, and repeatedly stalks downward in a most alarming manner. Some flickers have the curious habit of continuing to lay an egg daily if, before the clutch is completed, all the eggs except one are taken. Being careful always to leave one nest egg, Joseph Armfield, of Greensboro, N. C., was the cause of one of these birds laying 32 eggs in 35 days. Ordinarily, a flicker lays four or five eggs. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1934 Last Word in Bridal Veilcraft By CHERIE NICHOLAS AS TO lovely and chic bridal array for the late spring and the summer bride, fashion is positively lavish in offering suggestions which are entirely new and novel. Pretty as a wedding dress may be, it is, after all, the velling of the bride, together with the various little accessory items of adornment, which make or mar the picture. The wealth of ideas offered in both veils and headaddress and accompanying fantasies is positively thrilling this season. Time was when the bride-to-be bought yards and yards of tulle, depending on the magic touch of some good fairy who would appear at the last moment to adjust the vell to a point of enchantment. Of course this entailed endless worry and suspense and more times than not ended in keen disappointment. However, in this present day of efficiency all this uncertainty as to the final touch to the vell has been done away with and a new order of procedure takes its place. The modern bride-to-be goes to the leading millinery department or her favorite shop and asks to be shown the latest and most fetching in bridal adornment. The visions of loveliness which the salespeople will bring forth are enough to make the eyes of any prospective bride dance with joy. Think of it—the entire ensemble all thought out for you down to the last orange blossom bud. One of the first items of news which will be imparted to the enquiring bride-to-be is that streamline effects are the last word in wedding velcro. Which means that there is going to be a symmetry, a very poetry of motion about the billowy masses of tulle which vell the springtime bride which will WITH BOLERO By CHERIE NICHOLAS A woman who keeps pace with the times cannot get by without at least one long-sleeved, floor-length dress which sets her apart from the daytime world of practical clothes, and stamps her as a lady of the new leisure. This gown of all-day crepe, the new rayon woven of tubize yarn acetate and tubize viscose yarn is in a new shade called orange bisque. Its simple flowing lines make it a dress of graceful and becoming dignity. Outstanding style points to remember include the bolero effect and the deep armhole sleeves. also the girdle-tie of self fabric. BASEBALL'S OPENING!—Managers Bill Terry of the Giants and Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies snapped before the first game at the Polo Grounds, New York. NEWEST IN SPRING Neckwear —One of our movie favorites wears this new tie-around scarf blouse that brings the neckline up around the chin. MORE TAXES!—Three and a half BILLION $ bills make a trail of gasoline taxes rising from $1,000,000 in 1919 to $700,000,000 in 1933. Originally it a gallon, you now pay taxes as high as 11c, or more than the price of the fuel itself. VESSEL AND CAPTAIN BRING INSULL!—The American export liner "Exilona" and Capt. Wenzel Habel, in command, expected to land Insull at Boston about May 15th. A PRINCE TAKES A NIP!—Prince George of England, the king's fourth son, is seen tasting a fine old Madeira, possibly a Duke of Clarence Malmeey. The picture was made on a recent visit of the prince to the island of Madeira where he was the guest of the Madeira Wine Association, of which T. L. W. Mullins (on the right) is managing director. delight and satisfy all who behold. You see the idea conveyed in the exquisite lace-trimmed veil to the left in the picture—a model which is now showing in the better millinery establishments. Note that the veil is supported at the top of the close-fitting cap of Chantilly lace in coronet or tiarra effect. Of course you have noted the huge lace rosettes, one at each side, which seem to have fluttered down into position on the sweeping wide veil. They bring a message of real news in regard to bridal veil styling for spring-summer, 1934. And her flower muff! Flower muffs are the correct thing for the modern bride to carry. What's more, the bride's attendants will be carrying them, too, in but fresh spring colors which no word describes so perfectly as "delicious." Here's something those seeking style hints should know. It is about cunning little flanged molded-to-shape veils which brides are wearing—ever so flattering! Then, too, it is interesting to note that bridesmids' hats are sporting tremendously wide brims of maline. These in a galaxy of springtime colorings are wonderfully picturesque and becoming. In some instances the bride's attendants are carrying quaint colonial bouquets with wide ruffles of maline encircling the prim cluster of wee flowerets, the maline matching the wide maline brim of each hat. VANITY'S NAME is still Woman—despite indignant claims. Evidence? Billie Seward, comely flicker star, who believes Mother Nature never resented a helping hand. ROYAL ROMANCE UNBLIGHTED: Prince Sigvaard, son of Swedish Crown Prince, defying dissuasions of his family, renounces his royal status to marry Miss Erica Patzek, German film actress, in London. AN IDEA BORN in the brain of Mrs. William H. Biester, Jr., of Philadelphia, will result this year in a million glasses of home-made jelly for the needy. The American Legion Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Biester is national president, has set itself to reach this million goal by October—which means tasty, nourishing spreads for millions of leaves of bread. OH DOCTOR! James P. Sherry, Rochester, N. Y., unknowingly had carried two inches of knife-blade in his skull since 1918. Injured by shrapnel, he was unconscious when struck by the blade, contained in the shell. The hot metal caulerized the wound, and remained hidden until revealed by X-rays, made in response to Sherry's complaint of a headache. THIS "RABBIT" EATS MEAT: To get the stamina required for major league hockey, Rabbit McVeigh, 150 pound sawd-off Hercules of the New York Americans, trains vigorously during the season—steaks and Jell-O are his standbys.

And now this recital of lovely bridal fantasies must be brought to an end but not until we call attention to the resplendent Spanish lace veil on the bride pictured to the right. It is done in true Spanish mantilla effect. © by Western Newspaper Union LACE REAPPEARING IN VARIOUS HUES You just can't keep a good fashion down. With spring dance frocks growing more feminine and alluring by the minute, lace was certain to stage a reappearance, after having been more or less out of the picture for winter. A black frock, in one of the new cree or cord laces, is just about the most satisfactory evening frock that anyone can own. And a white lace dress, worn with bright colored slippers and accessories, is a fetching youthful fashion. This spring, however, there is unusual emphasis on colored laces. French women are choosing navy blue lace over satin or taffeta slips, in place of black. Green lace, in lovely leaf shades, makes enchanting evening dresses. One very effective model is made with a trained skirt, fitted around the hips, and with soft fullness at the hemline. The bodice is made with a hip-length peplum, divided in front and shirred at the back to match the fullness in the back of the skirt. Definite Leaning Toward Swagger Suits Observed No one is going to put the American girl in uniform this spring. . . Suits are as varied as the weather, which gives room for practically a daily design. There is a definite leaning toward the swagger suit, no doubt due to all this windblown talk which is effective . . . if it does sound a little chilly. These swaggers come in practically full length coats, frequently tied under the neck, but in bows, not ascots. The coats have the full sleeve, hang loosely and are not made to be wrapped around. Skirts have wide self-cloth belts and often the button which marks the belt closing is repeated on the blouse.
