Miss Jennie Porter of Cincinnati, a member of the board of trustees of the State (C. N. & I.) Department who has been quite ill for some time, was unable to attend the recent meeting of the board. She is at the head of a separate school for our children in the former "Queen City of the West." Miss Lucinda ("Mickle") Cook and Anne Williamson have been re-elected to the normal school of the State Department. Miss Cook is officially designated as "critic teacher." According to the state department of education at Columbus, the Misses Cook and Williamson are two of the best normal school teachers in the state of Ohio. This regardless of race or color. NOT GUILTY! Cleveland, May 15, '34. Mr. Wm. O. Walker, Editor, Call-Post, Cleveland, O. Friend Walker:—Some one has misled you. The paragraph you quote me, in your paper, last week, as writing, is from a letter sent to "The Old Reliable" Gazette, several years ago, by one of its readers. It was not written by me as Atty, and Mrs. Alexander H. Martin, and Atty. Walter E. Carey, Garfield 5458-J, who know the writer of the letter referred to, will tell you. Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. ON WHAT'S DOING Up-to-date, our candidates for the State Assembly are; Rev. David O. Walker, Atty. Harold Gassaway and Representative Chester K. Gillespie for the House of Representatives; while Aitys, Frank C. Lyons and Perry B. Jackson are candidates for the State Senate. Gillespie is entitled to nomination. The Rounder feels. Some of Congressman Sweeney's most active supporters (and jobholders, too), who live in this city, refused to vote, Tuesday. Why? Our voters of Ward 11 gave the deficiency bond issue, 5,043; those of Ward 12, 4,663; Ward 17, 3,231; and Ward 18, 4,569. As will be seen, Ward 11 led, on the face of the returns. Our total vote for the four metropolitan was 75,606, technically one-fifth of the total vote which was 80,118. The Democrats, who were quietly organized against the bond issue, cast 46,066, making an astonishingly large total vote for the day of 126,184, the majority for the bond issue being 34,052. All of the Democratic wards in the city except one voted against the deficiency bond issue. The vote in Ward 9, which gave Mayor Davis a small majority, cast the bond issue, as the result of the activity of disappointed job-seekers. The wards in which the bond issue lost were the 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 23rd, 28th, 29th and 32nd. At the meeting of the 11th Ward Republican workers, Sunday afternoon, at the Western Reserve Republican club, Councilman Bundy, smarting under the castigation and exorcism of "The Old Reliable" Gazette because of his political "sins of commission and omission" in the City Hospital matter, several years ago assailed The Gazette and its officer, the Fountain theater, for the small attendance. Bundy said that he and Payne had opened the City Hospital to our nurses and internes. A real joke! At the same time, Clayborne George was at a small meeting of 12th Ward workers, over the Fountain theater, telling them that he had opened it. Of course, "The Blossom Triplets" were not telling the truth, because as a matter of fact, they did practically nothing to help The Old Reliable" Gazette and its editor were quite three years fighting that battle which culminated with the adoption of the Walz resolution by City Council, while "The Triplets," Bundy, Payne and George, sat supinely by inactive as they were from the start to the finish of the City Hospital fight. They were, however, active in the effort to secure former Color-Line Governor John S. Samson's re-appointment at the hands of City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, While Payne sat and listened, Bundy attacked the editor of The Gazette, much to the amusement of the small attendance of workers. Some of the language he used and about all he said was severely criticized, largely because it was notoriously untrue and almost silly. When the editor of The Gazette secured the enactment of the Ohio Civil Rights Law in 1894, his colleagues of color were the Hon. Samuel W. H. Clifford of this city, in 1896, when he secured the enactment of the Ohio Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching law, his colleague of color was the Hon. Wm. R. Stew HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER MAY 19, 1934 SUMMER OPERA In the New Open Air Theater at Geauga Lake Park—The Operas, the Artists, the Director, Chorus and Ballet. Northern Ohio will have a summer season of light opera starting Decoration Day, May 30, and continuing for four more weeks on air theatre at Geauga Lake Park. The principal roles will be sung not only by Cleveland singers but by artists from Akron, Warren, Youngstown and Ashtabula. The operas will be given every night except Monday MARIE HAYNES and a different opera will be given each of the first twelve weeks with a series of revivals in the final two weeks. Popular prices of 25 to 50 cents will prevail, with box seats slightly higher. Handel Wadsworth, well-known director of the Cleveland Troubadours, the Halle Light Opera Company and the Summer Opera Company which presented a season at Wildwood last summer, will be director of the new summer opera season at Geauga Lake Park. There will be a chorus of sixty and a ballet of sixteen to twenty. Miss Wilma Sharpe will be the ballet mistress and soloist. Rehearsals have been going on throughout the winter in the repertoire of the season. Included in the repertoire is the Mikel Hood, the Bohemian Girl, the Miked Black Hussar, The Prince of Pilsen Girofe-Girofe. The first opera will be the Chimes of Normandy, the principal characters of which will be sung by Cecile Meinhardt of Akron, "Serpolette"; Elroy Ward, "The Sheriff"; Michael Huber, "Henry"; and Marie Haynes as "Germaine." LAUDS MATT. HENSON As Commander Peary's Best Man for the Polar Dash—Donald McMillan, Noted Explorer. New York City.—Lauding Matt. Henson, Peary's Afro-American aid, as "a better man" than any of the North Pole discoverer's white assistants, Donald McMillan, noted polar explorer, in his recently published book, "How Peary Reached the Pole," pays a remarkable tribute to Henson. "One question I have been asked again and again during the past years is, 'Why did Peary select a colored man to accompany him to the Pole rather than one of his white assistants?' "Matthew Henson first went north with Peary in 1891. He was with him on his long trip over the Greenland ice Cap in 1893. He was with him when he rounded the northern end of Greenland in 1900. He was with him off Cape Hecla in 1902. He was with him when he broke the world's record in 1906. He was the most popular man aboard the ship with the Eskimos. He could talk this language like a native. He made all the sledges which went to the Pole. He made all the stoves, Henson, the colored man, went to the Pole with Peary because he was a better man than any of his white assistants. As Peary himself admitted, I can't get along without Henson. "After his many failures, Commander Peary owed to himself, his family and his loyal backers, his country, to take the most effective man, to use the most servicable. And this he did. And he won!"—Donald McMillan, noted explorer, in his new book on "How Peary Reached the North Pole." Mr. McMillan was one of Peary's white assistants. Bill McCready is Bertillion operator and crack shot of the Pittsburgh police department. He has about a dozen medals won in shooting contests. art of Youngstown. One of Bundy's many misstatements was that the editor was the only Afro-American member of the legislature when he was elected to the enactment of the Ohio Civil Rights Law in 1894, and not "right after the Civil War" as Bundy said. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS STRIKE! LY QUELLED! T HOWARD D. GREGG, DE- DAID TO HAVE ENCOURAGED BELLIOUS STUDENTS. Manager Job Abolished and Jenkins superintendency of the State Department Gregg Held. QUICKLY QUELLED! SUPERINTENDENT HOWARD D. GREGG, DEMOTED, IS SAID TO HAVE ENCOURAGED THE REBELLIOUS STUDENTS. The Business Manager Job Abolished and Jenkins Given the Superintendency of the State (C. N. & I.) Department Gregg Held. Wilberforce, O.—The Board of Trustees of the State Department held a stormy session here. May 8. They abolished the office of business manager held by C. C. Jenkins and gave him the position of superintendent, held for a year or so by Howard D. Gregg, making the latter dean of education. This cut his salary from $4,500 to about half of that amount, doubling "lights," fuel, state automobile, milk, butter, etc. Thereupon Gregg went to Columbus and appeared before the Board of Control (state officials), returned here and secured the sympathy and backing of a few students who stirred up an incipient strike in his behalf which so quieted down. It is said that students met in Gregg's home. This developed a difference between him and Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, a member of the board, and others. There is a feeling here that he ought people to dislike the "jim-crow" conference of Ohio teachers of separate schools he called and conducted, last summer, which was addressed by speakers (white) from Ohio University. It was a part, it seems, of an effort to encourage schools in this state. Gregg is from "down-home" (south), coming here from Howard University where he was professor of education. Apparently, he is not in sympathy with the masses of our people of Ohio who are decidedly opposed to "jim-crowism" in any shape or form. For years, there has been a studied effort which has had some success in recent years to "jim-crow" our pupils in Columbus (Champion Ave. school) and Dayton (Dunbar High school), contrary to Ohio law. Gregg's meeting, this year, was poorly attended and not as large as the one of last year. Current rumor has it that there is to be another meeting of the board, which it is expected that Gregg will be divorced from the faculty of the State (C. N. & I.) Department, Dr. Jas. A. Owen is president of the board; Rev. D. O. Walker, Rev. J. O.

The following letter, which is self-explanatory, was sent to Gov. Geo. White, the Hon. Will H. Hayes, head of the moving picture industry, and the Ohio Board of Film Censors: Sirs:—I am sure you have not seen and heard the play "Carolina" in which Janet Gayner and Lionel Barrymore are starred. His frequent use of the very insulting mongrel term, "nigger," is most irritating, indeed, to the millions of Afro-Americans in this country. The practice is anything but a credit to the film industry, the least that can be said along that line. I am sure that if you will take the time and troubleshoot the issue, you will censor the picture instanter. As it is, it is really an outrage. That is why I am registering with you at this time the strongest possible protest against further exhibition of "Carolina" as it is now. Trusting you will give this matter immediate attention and save thousands of my people from further insult and humiliation. I am DIVISION OF FILM CENSORSHIP Columbus, O., May 7, 1934. Hon. Harry C.

SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1934. Representative Chester K. Gilles pie's radio address over station WGAR. Tuesday evening, was very good, indeed, containing an expe- tionally large element of truth. Thank the Lord for former U. S. Senator Tom Heflin's defeat in Alabama, recently. He was seeking a nomination for Congress. Heflin is the orator of the K. K. K. and one of our bitterest enemies. --- The U. S. War Department has the 24th and 25th Inf. and the 9th and 10th Cavalry, our famous regiments, doing service in the army as servants, it is said. If that statement is true, what a pity it is that all four organizations cannot resign from the U. S. army in a body. That is exactly what ought to be done. When the N. A. A. C. P. directors had a chance, a few weeks ago, to drop Wm. E. DuBois from the editorship of The Crisis, they re-elected him to the position. Already they have been forced to apologize for an editorial in the May issue of the magazine and the future is not at all promising. It looks as if there is much trouble ahead for N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in N. Y. City. --- The $4,000,000 deficiency bond issue was indorsed, Tuesday, by a majority vote of 34,052, the total vote being 80,118 for and 46,066 against. This latter shows a silent-agreement Democratic organization vote and undoubtedly accounts for thousands of others who did not vote. There were, of course, some disgruntled Republicans who voted against the deficiency bond issue. Nevertheless, it is a splendid victory for all the sensible citizens of the city regardless of party affiliation. The four million dollars are needed by Mayor Harry L. Davis, and then some. --- The racial element does not enter into the administration of relief in the city of Cleveland, members of St. James' Forum were told, Sunday, by Wm. R. Conners, secretary of our local Welfare Association. He is wrong and should know it. The Gazette KNOWS that our people are not treated as well as the poor whites of all classes in the county and that too often our welfare workers help to mistreat them, in justification saying they are forced to do so in order to retain their jobs. If Conners does not know this, he should learn instanter and he can do so by calling at The Gazette office, this Saturday afternoon. THAT SCOTTSBORO CASE. Those nine innocent lads are spending a fourth hot summer in Alabama jails, guilty of nothing except the crime of being poor, friendless and black. Plays have been written in their behalf, poets have used them as a theme for their songs, the world's leading intellectuals have spoken or written in their defense. Meanwhile they suffer. The human cattle that control the affairs of the state of Alabama have not budged an inch. They insist, as reactionaries have always insisted from time immemorial, that slaves must remain slaves. And to the ruling powers of the benighted commonwealth of Alabama, the "Negro" is a slave. Yet there is no reason Afro-Americans should be disheartened. Human swine have controlled the destinies of mankind before, but their power has never been permanently established. Even in Alabama the clouds are not too thick. Judge Horton, who refused to condemn one of the "Scottsboro" defendants to the electric chair on the word of a lying white prostitute, has obtained sufficient votes at a primary to be able to run for re-election. Yes, there is even decency in Alabama. Let funds to help in the fight to save the Scottsboro boy-victims, be sent to the International Labor Defense, Room 420.8 E. 11th St., New York City. This organization is in charge of the case. And let the N. A. A. C. P. employ its splendid public organization to arouse every nook and crany of these United States over the plight of those lads. But there is more to be done. The fraternal organizations and churches of the race must make their combined influence felt. President Roosevelt must not be permitted any longer to pretend ignorance of the whole affair. Nor must the murderous crew in charge of Alabama's political destinies be permitted a single hour of peace. Even greater cases of injustice have been rectified by the pressure of an aroused world. The Scottboro boys need not be victims of a prejudiced ruling caste if the world continues to train the spotlight on the criminals who would do these lads to death. But lethargy must be supplanted by activity. The time to act is now! NOT GUILTY. The editor of The Gazette desires to correct a misstatement that appeared in our local contemporary, the Call-Post of May 12, 1934. In that issue it quotes its "venerable contemporary," "The Old Reliable" Gazette, as writing something about Atty, and Mrs. Alexander H. Martin (published, Nov. 15, 1930) he never wrote! Somebody has taken a mean advantage of our esteemed young conferee and played upon his credulity. Neither The Gazette nor its editor have any apology to make for its publication relative to Mr. Martin in its issue of May 5, 1934. We meant just what we said and it is fully justified in his letter, published in this paper last week. The "Hon. Harry Smith" did not write the article published, Nov. 15, 1930, from which our local contemporary took the paragraph it published on the first page of its last week's issue; nor has "a great change come over him." He is most too "venerable" for such now. Our contemporary owes us an apology. WHAT IS PROF. BUSCH'S SOLUTION? In a conference on the N. R. A. held at Cleveland College, May 5, '34, Assistant Director Henry Miller Busch was asked why the N. R. A. discriminated against Afro-American workers. Prof. Busch replied in substance that our workers in the South, and likewise white workers in that area, are generally conceded to be less efficient than workers in other sections of the country. Perhaps Dr. Busch can explain why there is no code for Pullman porters, who are thoroughly efficient, and why there are separate codes for Afro-American workers, even in the north, in those industries where they predominate. If Cleveland College's plans for a labor institute materialize, we hope it will give adequate consideration to our workers of the country and their special problems, in spite of the fact that Dr. A. Caswell Ellis, director of the institution, is a Texan who has never thoroughly emancipated himself from the conventional Texan's attitude toward our people. MARTIN IS O. K. Will Stand "Four Square" for All Our Rights and Privileges in City Hospital and Elsewhere. Cleveland, O., May 9, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I want to thank you for your complimentary notice of my appointment to serve on the Advisory Committee of City Hospital. I shall make every effort to justify your confidence and that of the community, as evidenced by your statement and this appointment. Personally, I believe that the appointment is a fine recognition of the correctness of the position of those like yourself, who have been assisting all along, that full and equal recognition was the right of our group in this, and in every other public institution maintained for the service and accommodation of our citizens. Sincerely yours, Alexander H. Martin. WINS ART AWARD. Hugh L. Smith of E. Tech High school, this city, was recently awarded one of the highest national honors attainable by any high school student in the field of art. In national competition at the Fine Art galleries of Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, he recently earned a year's scholarship which will enable him to continue his studies at the Toledo Society of Arts and Crafts. Some of his work is included in the international exhibition of international art at the Institute. Harold W. Hunsicker, principal of East Technical High school, when he was notified of the award, wrote the jury, "Hughie Smith can be recommended most highly. He is a boy of finest character, possesses a pleasing personality and has a high scholarship standing. During his four years here he has been a member of the honor society and has taken a active interest in the club and track. At present he is president of the high school art club. Not only is this boy worthy of a scholarship, but such aid is necessary if he is to continue his art study."

A crowd of more than 2,000 persons witnessed the meet. Willis Ward, Michigan's sensational Afro-American athlete, was the mainstay of theolverine team, winning first place in the high jump, second in the 100-yard dash and second in the broad jump for a total of eighteen points. Michigan made a clean sweep in all events except the twomile run, which was taken by Arnold of the Buckeyes. George Neal of Ohio placed first in the shot put.

Sports writers credited Schmeling with at least eight rounds, the Teuton had easily outboxed Paulino all the way, and felt the judges had been influenced by the Basque's courageous fight against a superior foe. The crowd of 40,000 fans who had come to see 160 rounds of boxing in the first three-ring circus in history had no fault to find with the decision, however. They loosed a wild cheer when the result was announced. Another Kluxer Convicted JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Edward Young Clarke who with Col.

LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President USNR. 23 WHALES! CA, April 30—(via Mackay Radio). Life goes along with us, smoothly but busily. Outdoors it is night-time and we don't stray into it any more than we have to. I am beginning to get accustomed to this night life—24 hours a day. Practically all the men are keeping diaries, some of which will later be turned into books. I suppose. So far there has been very little literary effort. We've all been too busy. In fact, we haven't had time to listen to more than a few radio programs, most of which reach us by way of New Zealand or Australia. We are still digging tunnels. This is simple but back-breaking. We dig a trench seven feet deep in the snow, line each side with boxes of food or supplies and roofthe whole thing over with big blocks of hard we are shining tunnels. This is simple but back breaking. We drip a trench seven feet deep in the snow, line each side with boxes of food or supplies and roof the whole thing over with big blocks of hard Pouler, our Com-hours or days the mander Pro Tem, entire tunnel is covered many feet deep with snow drift. This house of George Noville's where I live is now completely buried. This snow, especially on the surface, is so fine and dry that it can sneak through the tiniest opening. If a hole two inches in diameter is made in a tunnel, the entire tunnel will be blocked up in twelve hours. We are all alone on the ice All the penguins, seals and gulls have left us, for heaven only knows where Even the whales have gone from the Bay of Whales, where there were hundreds of them a month ago. George Noviile swears he is going to catch one next October and is laying deep plans for this personal conquest of his. They tell me male meat is very fine eating, black but tender and amazingly nourishing I'll probably know all about this when we capture a few next time the sun visits us. Unfortunately, however, the best whales to eat are the blue whales for which I have a great feeling of sympathy on account of the meanness with which they are treated by the killer whales. Killer whales! There's a beastie for you! In my opinion this is the cruelest animal in the world. They are smaller than the other whales by many tons, running only up to around 40 feet from point nose to flipping tail But they are so ferocious that the big whales, on which they prey, haven't a chance Their pet habit is to attack the big blue whale, eat out his tongue and set him adrift to die miserably. Coming through the Ross Sea on the Jacob Runnert. I saw an怒 CITY HOSPITAL Most people do not know that there was never anything in the contract between the city of Cleveland and the Western Reserve Medical Unit, for control of the City Hospital that made color-lines or other unfair racial or religious discrimination legally possible at that public institution. This fact was finally forced to the surface, several years ago, by Councilman Russell S. Brown's resolution, adopted (after a long wait) by City Council when Wm. R. Hopkins was city manager. That is one of the things that made the loyal of our people in this company so proud of Hopkins's welfare director, Dudley S. Blossom, under whom for years, our young women and men only, of all the various races or classes in the city, were not allowed to train as nurses and internes, respectively, in City Hospital. It took The Gazette and those who fought with it three long years to break down that barrier, finally buried under an avalanche of disgust by Councilman Walz's resolution, with three "Negro" councilmen, George Payne, and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets", sitting supinely by looking on later, that was itself a Director, Blossom for re-appointment, by Hopkin's successor in office, City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, that secured them the sobriquet, "The Blossom Triplets". Recently, when Councilman Larry Payne announced in the body of the report, mous blue whale jump clear out of the water with three killer whales attached to him. On the way down I had a long talk about whales with Commander Giertsen, commodore of the Expedition, who has navigated these waters more than any man alive, having traversed the Antarctic ice-pack five times in each direction since his first trip down here in 1911 with Atnaundsen, discoverer of the South Pole. He told me about the enormous steel whaling ships, mostly Norwegian, and called "Whaling factories," which come to, and sometimes through, the Ross ice pack and capture from 700 to 900 whales each in a single season. I thought this was a shame and told the Commander that the whales must soon be exterminated at this rate. "No," he said. "They will never be exterminated. There are countless thousands of them in the waters around the Antarctic continent and the whaling ships cover only a tiny fraction of these waters. "It costs about $1,500,000 to outfit one of these expeditions and if the average catch goes down to around 400 whales the expeditions will lose money and will be abandoned. Expeditions with smaller ships can never make serious inroads on the huge numbers of whales in this region." These whaling factories are tremendous steel ships with great openings in the bows through which the whales are hauled. They smell awful. The actual whale killing is done with small, powerful fast motor boats, called "chasers," usually five to a factory. Every scrap of a whale is used. There is no waste whatever. And now the Boy Scouts are joining our club. Swell! I wish every Scout in America would join because I'm sure our activities will be of great interest to all of them. The latest troops to enroll in a body, I learn from the Club by radio, are those of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans Home at Xenia, Ohio, and the troop at Rigby, Idaho, the latter with 105 scouts. To date 156 school and college classes have enrolled and each member has received the blue membership card and the beautiful 20½ by 27 inch working map of Anatocheia all without cost, and the teachers have received a personal radio message from Admiral Byrd. Teachers and Scout Masters should give home addresses of pupils or troop members and enclose 3c stamp for each. Others desiring to join this fast growing national organization, without charge, should send clearly self-addressed, stamped envelope to A. C. Abele, Jr., President, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York City. David S. Ingalls had told him that he (Ingalls) “would not appoint a Catholic, a Jew or a “Negro” to membership in his City Hospital Advisory Committee, Payne it seems, was laboring under an hallucination which could easily become an obsession with one as “sore” as he was at the time who had been as ill as he had been in recent weeks. Councilman John E. Hubbard, who refused to join his colleagues, Councilman Payne, Bundy and Finkle, in their disastrous (to them) fight on the Council’s resolution for the apportionment asked by Director Ingalls, said, recently, to the writer that Mr. Ingalls had told him several times, prior to Monday, April 7, “34, that he (Ingalls) was going to give our people representation on the committee if the Council passed favorably on the resolution, and that he (Hubbard) had told Payne so after the latter had repeated to him his (Payne’s) charge against the Council, to point a Catholic, “Negro” or a Jew to the committee”. While Jewish people are not represented on the committee, the so-called “Negro” and Catholics are, which of course leaves Payne in an uncomfortable spot, to say the least. In the light of this, one cannot be blamed for at least questioning the very harmful charge Payne. Payne is against Director Ingalls, let us keep close to our member of the committee, Atty. Alex. H. Martin, and help him to “step out in the open” in a conscientious effort to stop all kinds of unfair discipli- 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 unpheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed this approach to enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws in the copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states 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 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 "lynching" for the purpose of this chapter. The 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.) county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recov- 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 therein is serious, exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum may be distributed 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 nation and to secure for our people all they are justly entitled to at City Hospital as tax-paying American citizens. Nothing more, nothing less. This is an opportunity that we hope and believe he will not neglect.

If the decident so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of a private 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 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, may be tried for the murder of 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 contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 12.) 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, dining house, barber shop, 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 imprisoned not less than hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our own, because we use it when they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. trophy which will be awarded in the university band division of the parade which will open the Fair, May 26.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. CHINA has its lean years and fat, its serious famines in some sections, but on the whole it mental, difficult, and vital problem of all civilized people." Perhaps the greatest agricultura triumph of the Chinese farmer is his cultural for tothis pretty unit its stupendous job of feeding a quarter of the human race. And it has carried on successfully for thousands of years, although it has had none of the advances of scientific knowledge for the study of soils, crops, and weather conditions. This enviable position China owes to the note of permanent agriculture struck by its husbandmen when our ancestors were skin-clad nomads. In no other country on earth is it so true that "all trade, as all life, rests upon the farmer's primitive activity." In China this is all the more significant, for its soil has been cultivated since the days of Noah, and has supported the densest population in the world through millenniums of history longer and more checkered than our own. It is difficult to determine at exactly what period the Chinese settled in the "Middle Kingdom," but the latest archaeological discoveries seem to prove that their first home on the Great Plain of northern China, near the Yellow river, was made so early that they may, perhaps, be counted as the aborigines of the northwest China provinces. The Chinese themselves attribute to the Emperor Shen Nung, who is supposed to have lived about 2700 B. C., the arts of husbandry and the invention of the plow. This mythical personage still remains the patron of farmers and was, until the abolition of the monarchy, in 1911, worshiped yearly at the season of the spring sowing by the emperor in Peiping, and by his delegates in every province. To this sovereign are also credited the original arrangements with regard to landed property in China. As a matter of fact, it seems probable that the early settlers separated into clans or family groups, that these clans came naturally to vest authority in elders, and that the latter in the course of ages became the rulers and, finally, the owners of the land. Vast Areas Not Cultivated. Despite the density of the rural population in China, where, in some provinces, there are sections having 8,800 people, 384 donkeys, and 384 pigs to the square mile, or 240 people, 24 donkeys, and 24 pigs to one of our 40-acre farms, there remain vast areas of uncultivated, because uncultivable, mountain land in China proper. The Chinese are able to live on their small holdings only by reason of favorable climatic conditions, the fertility of the soil, effective agricultural methods, extreme personal economy, and the small taxes taken by the state. That wise old Emperor K'ang HsI, in honor of the fifty years' jubilee of his reign, in 1711 A. D., issued a decree saying that "as the population of the empire increased, the amount of arable land did not increase," and that the land tax should, therefore, be estimated on the census of that year and should never be increased. It never was. 1753 the total revenue from the land tax stood at taels 29,000,000, or about $22,000,000 in gold, and in 1900 taels 27,000,000 were collected from the same source, the decrease being accounted for by the calamities of the preceding years. If the week-end traveler in China gets the idea from looking out of train windows that he is in a land of continuous farms and vegetable gardens; his impressions are largely due to the fact that wherever cultivation is possible it is highly intensive, and that not an inch which might be used is wasted. One Family to the Farm. The working of a Chinese farm depends entirely upon personal human labor and generally upon that of one family. Tradition, custom, and economic conditions do not encourage the investment of capital for large-scale farming. The fields of China, as already pointed out, have been cultivated for several thousand years by the same method without overtaxing their resources. This remarkable fact is due to certain peculiarities of the soil itself, plus very careful working, guided by the experience of centuries. "When we reflect upon the depleted fertility of our own older farm lands," as Prof. F. H. King remarks, "comparatively few of which have seen a century's service, and upon the enormous quantity of mineral fertilizers which are being annually applied to them in order to secure paying yields, we cannot but admire how the Chinese have managed to maintain so well the first condition of farming—soil fertility—and to solve the problem of soil exhaustion, one of the most funda- mental, difficult, and vital problems of all civilized people." Perhaps the greatest agricultural triumph of the Chinese farmer is his knowledge and use of natural fertilizers. He cannot afford—nor, in many places, could he obtain them, even were he able to pay the price—expensive phosphates and nitrates commercially prepared. The chief aids he can enlist in his everlasting battle against soil exhaustion are human and animal manure. In the West, and more especially in the United States, "man," to quote Professor King again, "is the most extravagant accelerator of waste the world has ever endured. His withering blight has fallen upon every living thing within his reach, himself not excepted, and his besom of destruction in the uncontrolled hands of a generation has swept into the sea soil fertility which only centuries of life could accumulate. Fertilizer Carefully Saved. "On the basis of the data of Wolff, Kellner, and of Carpenter, or of Hall, the people of the United States and of Europe are (yearly) pouring into the sea, lakes, and rivers, and into the underground waters, from 5,704,300 to 12,000,000 pounds of nitrogen, 1,881,900 to 4,151,000 pounds of potassium, and 777,200 to 3,057,000 pounds of phosphorus per million of adult population, and this waste we esteem one of the great achievements of our civilization. Whereas in China all this is saved and returned to the fields." Near every farmhouse, and often in a proximity to the living rooms that shock our olfactory nerves, stand potter jars for storing this precious fertilizer, later to be diluted with water before it is "fed to the crops." Household waste, stubble, roughage from the fields, ashes, and the droppings from passing caravans, carefully collected by small boys with baskets and scoops, are all made into compost by being mixed with earth. Agriculture in China falls naturally into two great divisions—the "wet farming" of the canal, or rice-growing, country, and the "dry farming" of the northern plains, or grain-growing section. The outstanding feature of Chinese agriculture is the amount of human labor expended upon it. Fields are prepared by hand, often watered by hand. Seeds are sown and crops fertilized and reaped by hand. From dawn to dusk the farmer's family and animals work on the land, often cooking the midday meal—a mess of millet—on an improvised mud stove and using as a manger for their beasts the cart that has carried out compost and will bring home the ripe crop. Though groups of villagers sometimes work together, hired help is rare. Consequently, the Chinese farmer and his family work their own lands unaided. This means, of course, phenomenal energy on the part of all. How Rice Is Grown. Nowhere is the industry of the Chinese farmer better illustrated than in the southern, or rice-growing, provinces, where climatic conditions permit of several (sometimes as many as four) crops a year from the same soil. Since rice is not only the staple, but the favorite food of the people, from the highest to the lowest, it is not surprising that paddy fields form an eighth of the total area of cultivated land in China. Yet, notwithstanding the enormous acreage of rice planted each year since 3000 B. C., this crop is all set out in clumps and every spear transplanted by hand. The double operation allows the farmers to economize their land and save in many ways except in labor, the one thing they have in superabundance. Each rice field is surrounded by its own little dam a foot high. Some of these fields are no larger than a small room, and one observer says he saw "some in the interior of China no larger than a dining table, even one bearing its crop, surrounded by its rim and holding water, yet scarcely larger than a good-sized napkin." In a corner of his field the thrifty husbandman prepares his nursery for raising seedlings sufficient to plant his whole land. The soil is churned up by the plow until it becomes a mixture of wet mud and manure about the consistency of porridge. Seeds, which are then thickly sown, sprout in a very few days, turning the nursery into a carpet of young green plants. The rest of the land has, meanwhile, been prepared for their reception, embankments made water-tight, etc. Enough water is admitted, by artificial means if the rainfall cannot be depended upon, to a depth of several inches, a rake-harrow used to remove grass and weeds uprooted by the plow, and the soil again worked over to a well-smoothed surface. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 19. 1934 ORIENTAL EFFECTS LEAD NEW STYLES Line and Color Combinations Are Copied. There is enough and to spare for all existing whims of fashion. You can go the limit in practically any direction except a full skirt. You can put yards in the hem provided the waist and hips and thighs are fitted snugly. The strongest tendency is toward the Orient, both in line and color combinations—beautiful in richness and blondency. One extremely practical note about such styles as the kimono-cut sleeves, slit-tailed coats and Japanese lines in general is that they can be so easily packed, pressed and carted about in suitcase or trunk. The fish-fin trend, while excellent for exotic outfits wearable only a few times, will be followed by those who crave conspicuousness, but will be modified into a softer line with more grace and comfort to it. We called these "wings" last time, but they have dropped further down now and so go into the "fn" class. A few still remain at the shoulders, particularly when using fur in the Schi-apparelli manner, and even with the Helm touch, but on the whole the hips take the fish-rudders. "WINDSWEPT" PRINT By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1930 The vogue for "windswept" effects is reflected in the newest prints. The pajamas shown here are made of a windswept print in chulla crepe construction. This lovely print has every thing to recommend it. First of all its colors will not fade or run in washing and it is of such a sturdy weave there is no wear out to it. The generous cut of this attractive pajama costume gives the effect of the sweeping lines of a full skirt. Elbow length puff sleeves and a bodice closed with two bows of self fabric are interesting comforts for lounging and are adored by school girls for wear around the dormitory for fudge parties or for study hours—but pajamas are not being worn outside the home by smart women. Velvet Predominates in Spring Style Showings There was more velvet shown in the spring courterie collections in Paris than there has been previously. Small velvet capes for evening in black and colors, were shown in many of the houses. Vlonnet particularly stressed velvet, showing not only capes, wraps, evening gowns and hostess gowns, but many charming velvet accessories. Lelong showed three very beautiful long velvet evening wraps, a cape and two short wraps. Worth made a stunning white mat velvet full length evening wrap with large sleeves, bagging at the elbow, which were slit from shoulder to elbow, with a tight cuff extending from elbow to wrist. This was made with a cowl neckline, with a blue foxposed very low in the back and coming loosely over the shoulder to the neckline. It was very stunning. "Tag End" Dresses New "tag end" dresses, designed along tallored lines with long skirts for the cocktail and dinner hours, add a novel note to the 1034 fashion displays. They are designed to carry the wearer from late afternoon into the evening, when the tired business man doesn't want to dress. FLASHES FROM PARIS The "coolie" beret is new. Shallow crowns are preferred by smart clients. Capes of organdie, net and other sheers are shown. Vera Borea uses seashells for trimming. Spreading fan-shaped trains give the new lines to evening gowns. Lovely prints dominate the collections. Navy taffeta with white organdie capes or jackets is featured for evening. Land of Wooden Shoes in New World's Fair SQUARE-TOE SHOE EMERGES IN PARIS Jewish Museum Medieval Lines Succeed to Those of Gay '90s. An exclusive footnote from the shoe stylist, Mollie P. Page, authoritatively informs us that design inspiration has been sought—and found—in the medieval line, treading gently on the heels of the "gay nineties." As witnessed we have the square toes and tab fronts of Perugia and Julienne. Sandals for summer will be more discreet than last year when they, whether willfully or not, revealed the ugliest portion of the foot. Even the filmsiest of the models now in preparation by the smartest bottlers here delicately cover up the parts of the foot that fail to flatter the pedal extremity. A "pure and sparkling" white kid as distinguished from any mat effects in white is going to be quite the newest thing in summer shoes, according to Stylist Page. Certainly gayer and cooler looking. And shoes of navy blue, our old friends of the fall, are running for spring favors this year, and look like being very well placed, with so many suits of beige, gray and other blue that the blue shoe can enhance. Quaint cottages., giant windmill, opens in Chicago May 26. Fifteen dikes and natives in bright costumes and wooden shoes will greet the visitor to this Dutch village the world" in a single day. Lower Fair has 84 miles of free industrial at the new World's Fair which railroad rates, low-rate accommodation and scientific exhibits. Art Treasure in New Fair Exhibition MARGARET BROWN MARGARET BROWN Recalling Rembrandt's famed (1844-1916), an American. It is the official World's Fair art exhibition which opens in Chicago May new Clinic" by Thomas Eakins collection of more than 1,000 in 26, at the Art Institute. Here are two very recent Paris chapeaux. They tell a brimmed and a brimless story, for that is the way with the new hats, they either have a wide brim or they haven't any. Very fine paper Panama in a large hat with plated crown and brim manipulated to reveal one side of the hair describes the model at the top. Note that it is worn back from the forehead so as to show the new "windswept" hairdress. The red velvet ribbon which trims this hat is twisted about the crown and tied in a bow at the front. The modish little hat below is worn in the typical way—set far back on the head. It is made of the new cellophane banding. The arrangement of the band of ombre rose-beige velvet pansies suggests the new and fashionable coronet lines. CAMERAGRAPHS BEGIN WITH THE BACK, when searching for a perfect figure, counsellor Bryant Baker, sculptor, who won the $100,000 "Pioneer Woman" award. This model passes with flying colors Baker's requirements that shoulders and back be in the same perpendicular plane. Altoo, she's a 1934 example of the classic Greek ideal of loveliness. LLOYD N. SCOTT, well known New York attorney who, in a recent address at Hunter College, New York, proposed an international Grand Jury of citizens of every civilized country, to subpoena the officials of nations endangering World Peace, and to make indictments and presents to the World Court which would render judgments and designate nations to enforce these. BRUCE HUMBER, University of Washington sprint star, takes to the air for spectacular frist 100 yards well under 10 seconds. MRS. WILLIAM H. BIESTER, JR., Philadelphia, national president of the American Legion Auxiliary, proposes No. 1 glass of jelly in the campaign for 1,000,000. The 500,000 Auxiliary members have been asked to reach the million-glass quota by October 1. All jellies and jams made in this campaign will be distributed to the needy in orphanages, hospitals, and to private families. New Fashions for Spring Bring Earrings to Fore For years our ears have been so artfully concealed by our tresses that only the longest kind of a dangling earring could be seen, and in consequence earrings practically disappeared from the daytime mode. Now ears are again in evidence, and they really require some sort of an ornament to complete the picture. The result is that the jewelers have created a whole series of fascinating new clip, button and stud earring to wear with sports, street and afternoon clothes. Long Evening Wraps Will The long evening wraps which are so popular in Paris will be worn here this summer and a completely new type of coat, which fastens in the back, one side folds over the other, then ties in the front, making it easy to open the wrap when one sits. These wraps are made in a low cowl front and back, with long, loose sleeves, so that they are cool and at the same time a protection to the very light summer dresses which will be worn universally. STYLE NOTES Fruit boutonnieres are smart. Bows and jabots give butterfly necklines. New interest in home-sewing is awakening. Polka-dot theme features in daytime fabrics. Soft frilly boucle sweaters are the wanted kind. Taffetta is favored for evening and dinner dresses. Single fastening at the neck is dictate for loose three-quarter length coats. py of The maintenance w
