When it's something more than a stomach ache, it's a splendid feeling to hear the doctor's voice over the telephone saying, "I'll be over right away." A telephone call in the dead of night may sometimes bring quick aid to one who is very dear to you. Isn't it worth a few cents a day just to have that protection, plus the everyday pleasure and convenience you get in using a phone? SEE US FIRST FOR ALL GOOD JOHN S.

On Thursday, June 14, '34, the University conferred upon him the degree, LL.D. — Commencement exercises, this week, were largely attended. On Thursday, June 14, the aureate sermon was preached, Sunday, by Rev. W. H. Thomas of Washington, D. C., and the annual sermon by Rev. Chas. E. Stewart of Kittrell, N. C. The commencement address was made, Thursday, by Gov. Geo. E. White.

For Dancing With Her Chaufeur—This Was "Down Home" and Silly, of Course. Baltimore, Md.—Mrs. H. Pleasant Bonsal, age 27 (white), a social matron, was arrested, recently, by a policeman who saw her dancing in the Harlem Hi-Hat Nightclub, 240 Bond St., with her Afro-American chaufeur, Wm. Brown. Both were charged with "disorderly conduct," the judge justified the testified before Magistrate O'Neill that he thought there was a law against inter-racial dancing, but the court held there was no statute. Mrs. Bonsal's husband appearing, said he had given his wife permission to do what she did. Both were dismissed. The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Cleveland Press of June 23,44, certainly gave the state meet of our Elks a "break," and a big one too. Its excellent illustrations and account of the meeting filled The Press' first page and was thoroly appreciated by our people of Cleveland and all of the out-of-the-city delegates and visitors. Editor Selzer sure "put one over" on the other two daily papers, and HOW! The Rounder congratulates "The Press." Some time ago, the Euclid Beach Corporation approached school officials at the Board of Education, offering school-child eight free coupons if they could have the concessions for all the school picnics. The school officials consented, and the various schools started in to have their outings, last week. Our children only were discriminated against when they attempted to use the dance-ticket attached to their coupons and in some cases were asked off the dance-floor. Here is a list for our members of the Board of Education and our friends, Messrs. Miller and Martin, also board members. They should put a stop to this insulting and illegal discrimination at once or have the concession awarded the Euclid Beach Corporation canceled. Will they do it? We feel sure they will. Councilman Leroy Bundy's letter in a daily local paper, last week, objecting to its causal criticism of his course in the recent State-City Employment Bureau—City Council controversy which he says was based upon the fact that unfair and illegal discrimination against our people, and the Jewish people who are allotting of work to individual citizens, seems to be justified, and if so, he is entitled to praise and not newspaper criticism and censure from the daily papers for his course in the matter. Two or three years ago, The Gazette called attention to the fact that such unfair and illegal discrimination was being practiced in the State-City Employment Bureau and protested vigorously to Supt. Seiple who vehemently denied that such unfair and illegal discrimination was charging of unfairness to The Gazette "faded from the picture" when we sought their assistance in an effort to prove the charges we had made and they had brot, and left us "out in the lake with the water up around our neck." "Twas ever thus." We sincerely trust that Councilman Bundy will have no such untoward experience in his effort to prove his charges of color and race line drawing in the State-City. The Bureau which is supported by all the Councilmen, we keep up the fight, Bundy, until the disgraceful discrimination is discontinued. His colleagues, Councilmen Hubbard and Payne should help all they can. This for the "good and welfare" of all in this community. New York City, June 11, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. The Crisis has insisted for three parishes on attorney Charles White who on the Weaver case, please be advised. TELEGRAM. George Streator. CLARENCE BROWN OUT FOR GOVERNOR; Runner-Up for 1952 G. O. P. Nomination Hits White Administration. Columbus, O.—Charging the Democratic state administration with extravagance and with attempting to "entrench its political machine" in all departments of state and local governments, Clarence J. Brown, last week formally announced his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The former lieutenant governor and secretary of state, and the runner-up in the Republican gubernatorial primary, two Hon. Clarence J. Brown. years ago, said he "refuses to believe that there are any governmental problems which cannot be solved by the application of the plain old-fashioned virtues of common sense, common decency and common loyalty, only talk about finding the means of 'new revenues'; none whatever about adopting the only attitude toward government which makes new revenues unnecessary—simplification of government activity in administration," Mr. Brown said. "Instead, we have witnessed the imposition of numerous new taxes and an increase of millions of dollars in state expenditures—mostly for political personnel. It is typical of the present Democratic administration that while it could find no funds to prevent hundreds of schools from closing or to pay the salaries of thousands of loyal teachers, it was able to supply means to put Ohio into the liquor business with an attendant liquor controlled political machine, as well as to find vast sums to further augment this machine in other bureaus and departments of state." Mr. Brown said he would make his film "of the prize" an unpublished trilogy, expressed or implied, to any, except that I shall do my best." When Secretary of State, he had more Afro-Americans holding good positions in his office and department than any state official before or since that time. EDFTOR DuBOIS ABDICATES Resigns From the N. A. A. C. P. and From the Editorship of The Crisis, Magazine. To the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: At the May meeting of the board, the following action was taken: "On motion of Dr. Wright, duly seconded, it was voted, that The Crisis is the organ of the Association and no salaried officer of the Association shall criticize the policy, work, or officers of the Association in the pages of The Crisis; that any such criticism should be brought directly to the Board of Directors and its publication approved or disapproved." I did not know of this action until a week after the June editorials had been written. I regret to say that I am unable to comply with this vote. I am, therefore, resigning from my position as Director of Publications and Research, editor of The Crisis, member of the Board of Directors of The Crisis Publishing Co., Inc., member of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., and member of the Spingarn Medal Committee. This resignation is to take effect June 11, 1934. Very respectfully yours, W. E. B. DuBois. GIRL STRUCK BY AUTO Refused Admission to a Jewish Hospital Which Is Barred From a NARCIS, O.—Recently, one of our girls was injured in an automobile accident and carried to the Jewish hospital here. It refused her admittance because of her color. State Attorney General John W. Bricker has just ruled that any hospital in the state that does that sort of thing is not eligible to the benefits of the act that provides state insurance for the expenses of injuries incurred in caring for indigents injured in auto accidents. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS LLARD! ELL PHILLIPS, HIS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS LANTA UNIVERSITY. y in a Speech at Spelman College, wing Day—Morehouse's Graduates. THE THEME OF HIS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Defends Democracy in a Speech at Spelman College the Following Day—Morehouse's Atlanta, Ga.—Taking the life of Wendell Phillips as his text, Oswald Garrison Villard, contributing editor of "The Nation," told our graduating class of Atlanta University, last week Tuesday, that he did not know of another career that would give them "greater faith and hope and confidence in the face of all the terrible challenges which our school will confront." From the life of the great abolitionist leader, who died fifty years ago last February, Mr. Villard drew the assurance that present-day conditions were a counterpart of those against which Phillips battled. "We are witnessing the break-up of an economic system against which Wendell Phillips raced with the slaves until he died" Editor Villard declared. "The new birth is coming with a pain and suffering that invariably accompany gestation. It is quite possible that we have a long period of misery to go through. But I think if Phillips were to stand in my place, survey our American scene; and then speak to you, he might surprise you by singing hossannahs. Perhaps he would see that the new order which he imposed had never been scaled and free us from chains that seem beyond smashing." To our graduating class of Spelman College, last week Wednesday, Editor Villard said it was entering a world that does not begin to live up to the expectations of the state of the world, today, with the world he entered on his graduation from Harvard College in 1893, he declared the present suffered by comparison. "Yet," he said, "the adventure of life which you are undertaking is astly much more embarked. You are crossing the threshold when the world The N. A. A. C. P. board of directors met, Monday, and failed to accept Editor Wm. E. DuBois' resignation. It was left for action later. Congressman Oscar DePriest has lost his U. S.

Thirty-six years after he had been graduated from Morehouse College as a member of its second college, Dr. James M. Nebritty pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist church, this city, and secretary of a National Baptist Convention, returned, last week Wednesday, to address graduates and the large assembly which had gathered for commencement.

SEEKS GIFT FOR HAITI Roosevelt Asks Congress to Leave Buildings Used by U. S. Forces. Washington, D. C. — President Roosevelt has asked Congress for authority to give to the Haitian government the $100,000 buildings and equipment of the marine and naval forces which will be withdrawn next October. He says such a gift would be "a fitting climax to the close of the period of special relationship which has existed between Haiti and the United States." Dr. Frazier, a Real Man. Nashville, Tenn. — Dr. E. Franklin Frazier, Fisk University professor, invited (by mistake) to attend a luncheon of the Doctors of Philosophy of the local branch of the Alumni Club of the University of Chicago, accepted an invitation, recently, went to the Vanderbilt University cafeteria (white), selected his lunch, paid the tongue-tied cashier and sat with him, the other of whom were white.

(Bell 'Phone: CHerry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1934. Dr. E. Franklin Frazier of Fisk University, we salute you! According to a commanding officer of U. S. marines in Haiti no less than 2,500 if not 3,500 natives, active in the defense of their country, were killed and Haiti's moral status greatly lowered by U. S. marines of the Occupation. This country ought to give that country something when they (the marines) leave it soon. --- We are calling attention to Mr. George Streator's telegram, elsewhere in this paper. There must be some misunderstanding somewhere because it is hard for us to believe that Atty. Charlie White would fail to attend to so important a matter as sending the N. A. A. C. P. the information relative to the Doris Weaver case (decision) it has insisted upon receiving "for three months." --- Editor Wm. E. DuBois' recent radical change of front, from aggressively opposing racial segregation, for many years, to a quasi if not full support of the same puts him out of joint with the N. A. A. C. P. and the great majority of our intelligent and loyal members of the race. Therefore, the proper thing for him to do he has done—resign as editor of The Crisis and from the organization. This is best for all concerned. --- "The South is in the saddle" and loses no opportunity to promote the segregation of our people in the North, wherever it is possible, with the help of representatives of the national Democratic administration at Washington. Watch this develop in all of its "housing" activities in this section of the country. This baneful influence and power reaches into northern states, counties and municipalities. It was so under the southern Democratic Thomas Woodrow Wilson administration. Since the dual candidacies of John A. Elden and Daniel E. Morgan, for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, have put this (Cuyahoga) county out of that race it forces many local Republicans, who wish to support the best and most promising of the several candidates to turn to the candidacy of the Hon. Clarence J. Brown of Blanchester, former Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State. This is particularly true of our voters whose good friend he has been throut his entire political career. WHAT ARE THE FACTS? We have been hearing much about the viciousness and brutality of southern prison camps. But a race weekly recently has published a long letter by one Frank L. Roberson, a former inmate of the Michigan State Branch Prison at Marquette, which makes a Georgia camp seem almost civilized. Mr. Roberson speaks of starvation, the denial of ordinary privileges, beatings, and long terms of solitary confinement without reason. Readers who are interested in prison reform should address the governor of Michigan at the State House, Lansing, and ask for details. While Michigan has no death penalty, it has long been the practice for "crackers" on the Detroit police force to shoot Afro-American suspects at the slightest provocation. Such is the general impression among our people who reside in the automobile capital. If Marquette tortures its Afro-American prisoners, it is time for the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. to demand a thoro investigation. SPREADING FACISM. Against the German consulate of Cleveland it has been charged that it is a center of fascist activity. In short, it has been publicly asserted that propaganda is emanating from an office in a downtown Cleveland building, seeking to set race against race. The American state department cannot ignore the charges. It must investigate them thoroughly. If the local consul is guilty of disseminating race hatred, he should be forced to leave the United States without delay. There is plenty of information available revealing the extent of organized Hitler propaganda within these United States. But American fascism will not, if it gains strength, occupy the position of power it is able to maintain temporarily in Germany. In Austria fascism met with strong resistance. In Spain it has been unable to gain a real foothold. To our people, even the temporary establishment of fascism in the United States would involve the danger of huge riots. A powerful anti-fascist committee in Cleveland is meeting regularly, Wednesday evenings, at Hotel Hollenden. Representatives of our societies are more than welcome, we are assured, and it is unfortunate that up to the present none have put in appearance. EUCLID BEACH! The close of school usually means joy for the average high school student. He visions vacation ahead and freedom from certain responsibilities. To many of our students here in Cleveland, the pleasure will be somewhat marred by unpleasant memories. School groups enjoying outings in Euclid Beach Park have found its management violating the provisions of our Ohio Civil Rights law by refusing our students only their legal right to make use of the dance-floor. To meet this latest manifestation of prejudice, our students should make several moves. Every case of discrimination which can be verified should be brought to the attention of a reputable attorney, and a suit against the park authorities instigates against the park authorities, or better against the City of Cleveland, instituted. In addition, the local branch of Women's Clubs should see to it that every one of these suits have their financial backing. The action of Euclid Beach officials in raising barriers in defiance of law and contrary to the desires of both colored and white students is vicious and must not be tolerated! In addition our students should seek out their fair-minded white student-friends and have them join in a united protest. We are reliably informed that in many instances they have been more thoroly aroused than their Afro-American classmates at the miserable insults which the latter have suffered. These white student-friends can be used as witnesses in whatever suits are filed. In view of the growing tendency to discriminate, it will be to a great extent the fault of our own people if they supinely permit the officials of a recreation center, open to the public, to oust a child of the race from any concession which the park has to offer. Let interracial organizations such as the N. A. A. C. P., the National Students League, and the League of Struggle for Our Rights get busy and get busy now! This must be the last summer for "jim-crow" activities on the part of Euclid Beach authorities or officials in control of any other public or quasi-public playspot in this city. --- Charged with exploiting the native Krus, a tribe of that country, Liberia, Africa, our only republic on that continent, is in danger of being expelled from The League of Nations (Notions). Only this country's interest in "the Firestone rubber development which has given Liberia increased economic importance" and its "close historic and economic connection" with this country, is holding up this threatened drastic action, it seems. England and France have their greedy eyes on the country because of its "increased economic importance." The Liberian government, however, persists in its refusal to accept the terms submitted by the American government which would settle the matter, because they are not fair. There the matter rests temporarily. We are hopeful that Liberia will succeed in its effort to secure proper terms, from our southern Democratic controlled government, that will in its judgment be fair and just, and not have to yield any of its independence to the American Firestone Rubber Co. which the American government is backing. Prime Sport News Owens to Compete, Today Six of the winners in last year's Northeastern Ohio A. A. U. outdoor track and field meet have filed entries for the fourth annual renewal of the event on the Shaker Heights High School field, this Saturday afternoon. Jesse Wemes, O. S. U.'s national A. A. U. champion, leads the list. He will defend the three championships he won last year in the 100 and 200-meter sprints and the running broad jump. He also won these events in the national meet. Owens holds the three district records, has 10.4 seconds in the 100-meter, 21.8 seconds in the 200 meters and 24 feet in the broad jump. Vince Murphy and Dave Albright will battle out their record tie of 6 feet 2 inches last year, in the high jump. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. JUNE 16. 1934.

NOBODY COULD WORK HARD AND HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BECOME SUCH A GOOD POOL PLAYER WHO WILL HELP A GREAT CAUSE? A great benefit meeting is to open, June 11, and continue to June 22 at Messiah Baptist church, 5905 Cedar Ave. The Rev. James H. Holder of Los Angeles is here and has volunteered to preach ten nights, free of charge, for the oeffent of Rev. Boston J. Prince, to raise funds with which to send Dr. Prince to Marlin (Texas) Springs, a health resort, in an effort to regain his health. Dr. Prince has been ill at M. Rev. Boston J. Prince. home one year and ten months as the result of a stroke. Messiah Baptist church, of which he is pastor, has done all it could and is going to continue to help, but opens its doors and welcomes the financial assistance of every man and woman in every walk of life. The church was born in Texas and is known nationally. His friends everywhere will be glad of the opportunity to help send him to the south for much needed treatment. "God loves a cheerful giver. Give and it shall be given unto you!" Every lodge, church, paper, sorority, club and business should join the laymen and Rev. Holder in this effort to raise funds for this good Dr. Prince is one of seven brothers, all preachers! His work in this city is outstanding, Shiloh standing as a monument to it. He moved this church from E. 30th St. to its present location at E. 55th St. and Scoville Ave., a $110,000 edifice. Dr. Prince has always been active in the Republican party. Now it is up the public to show its appraisal: "you should bit?" Send or bring your contribution to him at 5905 Cedar Ave. (up). A few months ago, the nation called for help, and got it, for infant paralysis cases. "Now will you help," is Rev. Holder's plea. THE BISHOP WRONG Sunday afternoon, June 3, Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of Wilberforce addressed St. James Forum. Among the things the bishop is quoted as saying are: "Although Negroes have blindly voted the Republican ticket, their party has betrayed and abandoned them. The Negro should, therefore, make friends with his former foes and seek, by giving them political support, to win a larger measure of justice. Communism is the alternative to neglect of the Negro's problems by the major parties. If the Negro is to remain abandoned by the Republican party and spurn the Negro's support, it will be high time for him to try the political experiment of Communism." Of course Bishop Ransom in his talk drew the blackest picture he could of the political situation as far as our voters are concerned. As a matter of fact, he has over-drawn it. "Negroes" have not "blindly voted the Republican ticket, nor has the party "betrayed and abandoned them. His suggestion is that the frighten us our former foes" is in a way ridiculed, because they are still as great foes of the race as they have ever been; nor does the Democratic party want to become our friend, because it is lead by unreconstructed southern Democracy. All the political, support we have given it, or could give it, has not and will not change it. There are individual Democrats in the South, who are friendly and occasionally do something for our people, but they are not the Democratic party, nor are they leaders of the Democratic party, locally, in the state or in the nation. The Democratic party as a party simply cannot see the "Negro," and steadily refuses to try to do. While it spurs us, alright, we have not been the Republican party for the very good reason that it can not succeed without our vote—in Cleveland, Ohio, and the U. S. A. The Bishop's recommendation of Communism only causes us to ask, "whither is he drifting?" To win a larger measure of justice," the so-called "Negro" has only to fight intelligently for the same within the ranks of the Republican party. There is absolutely no hope in trying to be a Democrat for revenue only," the few "Negroes" who do so are "Democrats for revenue only," either cash or a job. Think this over and see if we are not right. LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.N.R. 27 ANIMALSI doesn't know whether it was a dog or a dog driver that bit him. About half the men are wearing full beards. The rest of us are shaving regularly. I shave every day with one of Commander Noville's electric razors so I don't need warm water. The rest of the shavers have a terrible time getting in the cook's way to melt snow for their shaving. We are in great need of a barber. Cutting each other's hair produces some startling and comical results. We are in need of exercise now that our outside work is nearly over and the storms, darkness and cold prevent us from wandering much out in the open. We are putting up a punching bag and a couple of sets of parallel bars. We also will do some walking and skiing when the weather permits. The doctor is watching our diet very closely. We are finding it difficult to keep ourselves and our clothes clean. The popular pastime is stealing hot water from Al Carbone, our Cambridge, Mass., cook, but even when we've stolen it we have to be very careful using it for fear of sudden chills. There is a difference of as much as thirty-five degrees in temperature between the lower and upper bunks in our sleeping quarters. The warm air rising creates a situation in which the man in the upper bunk is perspiring, with his clothing all thrown open, while the man below is bundled up, freezing. When we wash our clothes we haven't room to hang them up in the bunk houses. They freeze instantly when hung in the other buildings and it is almost impossible to dry them. Speaking of weather, we are having plenty of it here—storms, blizzards and cold such as I have never imagined. But where Admiral Byrd is, it is even worse. The lowest temperature we've had has been 60 degrees below zero. The Admiral has already reported 72 below, and the winter is just commencing! I'd like to see a parade of members of our club.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. In recent years, the state has enacted 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.

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. 3) 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 and assaulted by a mob, the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; 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 shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the jurisdiction 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 damage or 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 Co-operate with your Dentist in striving for clean Gum-Gripped Teeth county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer the fund until the section of the probate judge, allowing 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. After such a mob has 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 contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 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, househouse, bar-shop, public convenience by land or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Osw.

Miss Emily Wright, age 23, of 2188 E. 90th St., a student and an elevator operator in the evenings at Hotel Hollenden, died in Mt. Sinai Hospital of injuries received when she was struck, late last week Friday night, by a taxicab after alighting from a street-car at Cedar Ave, and E. 90th St. David Mitchell, age 34, of 2194 E. 84th St., driver of the cab, was charged with manslaughter. The girl rebounded from the car to the windshield of the taxi, it is said by Atty Walter E. Carey who was a passenger on the street-car and an eyewitness of the accident. Rt. Rev. C. F. Kyle, of Bluefield, W. Va., senior bishop and founder of the Church of God in Christ (Pentecostal), has organized a church and placed Elder J. T. Shields in charge as pastor. The bishop has been conferred the title of bishop of meetings in a gospel tent at E. 79th St. and Cedar Ave, which has been attended by large crowds. The meetings are still in progress. Elder Shields and congregation will worship in the tent all summer, after which they expect to locate in an edifice to be built or purchased. The public meeting will be held at Lomie Sims, also of this city, has been accepted as an elder in the church. The bishop returned to Bluefield, this week, but will return in ten days. Two years ago on the 22d of this month, Rudolph Burns, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Burns, E. 80th St., was practically murdered at Gordon park beach, the result of what seemed to be wilful negligence on the part of city guards. The local N. A. A. C. P. branch investigated the case and recommended Chas. W. White, a member of its legal committee, to Mr. Burns as attorney in the case. Mr. Burns gave it to Charlie on a "ifty-fifty" basis and there the matter seems to have ended, he says. On the 22d of this month, the two years expire in which the case must be bleiben in court. Mr. Burns says he has succeeded to get this action from Amy White and for months has been unable to get any satisfaction at all from him or even see him the he has tried repeatedly to do so. This, if true, and Mr. Burns is reliable and a good citizen, does not look so good for Charley White, as an attorney, nor for the N. A. A. C. P. branch of which Miss Pearl Mitchell is now the energetic president. David H. Pierce was its president, two years ago, if our memory serves us correctly.

Griffith, publisher of the Morrow County A jostled telephone proved to be the slip that led to the capture of two filling station bandits in Barnesville, O. In making their entrance through a rear window of the station early one Sunday morning, the robbers accidently knocked over a telephone, throwing the receiver off the hook. Mary Blocks away, in the telephone exchange, a light flashed on the switchboard before Chloris Henderson, night telephone operator. Thinking it was an ordinary call, the operator answered with her usual "Number, please." There was no response. Then she heard noises over the line, which were made by the rummaging of the two robbers. Trained to suspect irregularities in such cases, the operator immediately notified the police, who hurried to the filling station. Although the bandits had fled before the officers arrived, they were captured less than an hour after the robbery on a country road a short distance from Barnesville. Loot, valued at more than $65, was recovered.

Before and After Shearing. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Services SHEEP owners of the United States produce about 250,000,000 pounds of wool annually, or enough to supply each inhabitant of this country with a wool garment weighing nearly three pounds. The lowly sheep, from which comes the world's yearly wool supply of slightly less than three and a third billion pounds, is no respector of persons or geography. A meeting of all the world's wool growers would reveal a motley gathering of all creeds and colors, from Icelanders to South Africans, from Canadians to Argentines, from Siberians to Indians. There also would be present natives of many islands of the seas. The sheep-raising industry is pretty well confined to the temperate zones, however, though some flocks graze near the Equator in high altitudes, and others are found in the Arctic, where there is sufficient forage. The world's sheep population is more than 500,000,000—a quarter as great as the human population. Australia, although a comparative youngster in the wool industry, is the world's leading wool producer. India and China are the outstanding sheep countries of Asia. Argentina and Uruguay have the heaviest sheep population in South America. The greatest concentration of sheep herds in Africa is along the Mediterranean coastal zone from Gibraltar to Tunisia, and in South Africa. Every country of Europe raises sheep, but in Norway, Sweden and Finland there are few flocks, scattered over wide areas. The United States, with upwards of 50,000,000 head of sheep, is the only country in North America that has taken to wool growing in a big way. Where America's Sheep Are. About four-fifths of the sheep in the United States graze in the mountains and on the plateaus and plains west of the Mississippi river. Texas, which has been dubbed the "Cotton State" and the "Sulphur State" because of its supremacy in the production of these commodities, also has earned the right to be called the "Wool State." In 1032, its contribution to the United States' pile of wool was about 57,000,000 pounds, or about one-sixth of the wool produced in this country. Montana, whose sheep gave up more than 32,000,000 pounds in the same year, ranked next to the Lone Star state, with Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, California, New Mexico, Idaho, and Ohio, each of which produced more than 15,000,000 pounds, following in the order named. As in the case of cotton, historians and naturalists have been stumped by the query, "when and where was wool first used?" Sheep and wool are mentioned in the Bible and it is known that the Romans practiced sheep breeding. Some of their prize animals wore jackets to protect the fleece. Shortly after the beginning of the Christian era an Italian took several sheep from Italy to Spain to breed them with the native merino sheep. Incidentally, the merino sheep produce the finest of wools, and have been bred with many other inferior sheep to improve the latter's fleece. The growth of the wool industry in the United States has been phenomenal. Two years after Capt. John Smith and his followers landed on the Virginia coast the first sheep were introduced into America at their settlement. Twenty-one years later a shipment of the fleecy animals from Europe was landed on the Massachusetts coast. Indians' appetites, predatory animals and severe winters made serious inroads on the colonial focks, so most of the animals were kept inside town walls, on islands, and on peninsulas fenced off from the mainland. While Indians no longer are a menace to wool growers, predatory animals, parasites, and poisonous plants still cause great losses to the industry. Growth of the Wool industry. As cotton clothed the colonists of the South, wool clothed those of the North. Private homes then were America's woolen factories. The American wool trade began when sheep-owning families exchanged their wool and surplus homespun for other commodities. With the increase in colonial population the demand for wool cloth rose and the federal government as well as local governments encouraged wool growing. By 1810, just two centuries after the sheen arrived from England, there were 7,000,000 sheep grazing over the settled area of eastern United States. Four years later there were 10,000,000. About this time foreign wool flooded the United States markets and the wool industry was as hard-hit as other industries in the panic of 1819. As large American cities and towns took form, demand for homespun waned and factory-made woolens took their place. Prices paid for wool by manufacturers encouraged sheep raising so that by 1840 the range of the animals had spread from the Atlantic to every state east of the Mississippi, as well as to Missouri and Louisiana. With the western migration in the middle of the last century went sheep. By 1860, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arkansas, Texas, California and the areas that now are Oregon and Arizona, joined the wool-growing regions. Two decades later, there was not a state in the Union that did not have a sheep population at least 50,000. By 1833 the "national flock" had grown to more than 50,000,000. To sheep, many regions of the world owe at least partially their discovery and growth, for these animals often have been the companions of pioneers. Magellanes (formerly Punta Arenas), Chile, the southernmost city of South America, was saved by the fleecy animals. The city was an important coaling and ship supply station for craft doubling Cape Horn before the completion of the Panama canal. The canal stripped it of former prestige, and even many of its staunch citizens prophesied its doom. Smart business men, however, saw the possibilities of sheep industry on the surrounding mainland and nearby islands, and turned their faces from the sea to the land for their livelihood. Thanks to sheep, Magellanes still is a thriving port. How Fleeces Are Handled While, in a few remote regions of the United States, homespun is worn, factories have almost entirely erased the home industry from this country. One of several hundred modern American manufacturing companies normally operates 60 wool mills that employ 40,000 workers. A display of one company recently included 3,500 different styles of wool fabrics. Wool greatly differs in quality. The same breed of sheep in the same country may produce different qualities of wool. The best wool grows on a sheep's shoulders and sides. When a sheep is sheared the fleece holds together. The whole fleece then is tied and with other complete fleeces is placed for shipment in bags containing from 100 to 500 pounds each. At the factory expert workmen sort the wool. Some sorting tables are covered with wire netting through which dust and other loose foreign matter falls while the sorters tear the fleeces apart. In some wool-growing countries wool is washed before it is sheared from the sheep. Unwashed fleeces contain grease from the skins of the animals. After sorting, the wool is scoured by passing it through a series of vats of warm, soapy water. From the washers it is conveyed to drying rooms and thence to carding rooms where it begins the journey that ends in woolen cloth and other wool products. Worsted fabrics are made of yarns whose fibers are parallel, while woolens are made of fibers crossed and mixed. Foreign matter that cannot be washed from the fleece is destroyed by chemicals. Burrs are removed by machinery. Wool is constantly moving in commerce. Although the United States normally produces about one-tenth of the world's annual wool clip, it is only a little more than half of the wool required by American cloth and carpet manufacturers. American manufacturers call upon the wool growers of Australia, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, China, England, and many less important wool producing countries for additional raw material. England is the leading importer of wool, for most of the export wool from all of the leading wool producing regions of the globe is shipped to British markets. Much of it is reshipped to other countries. London is the largest wool market of the world. Impossible Prisoner—I took the money intending to put it back. You see, I wanted to get married and— Lawyer—And you expected to put money back after marrying? I can get you off on the grounds of insanity. Impossible THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1934 Chic Plaid or Dotted Sports Linens BY CHERIE NICHOLAS ACRAZE for linen is on. Any fabric, just so its linen, seems to be the idea when it comes to material for this summer's sports, afternoon, and even formal evening costumes. Add accessories to the list, for the summer style program is largely made up of hats, shoes, gloves, pocketbooks and neckwear which are fashioned of linen ranging from finest and sheerest of handkerchief linen to sturdy linen which make the handsomest suitings imaginable. It's the actual seeing of these marvelous linens which makes one appreciate and realize the why and the wherefore of the fuss and furore made over them. The new plaided and checked, dotted and otherwise patterned soft Irish linens "get you" the moment you glimpse them. That good-looking are they, the smart set are having their travel and about-town and clubhouse costumes tailored of these materials. As for beach and tennis, golf and general sports wear, these linens—well, words fall us. However, here are three illustrations which will get the message across better than anything that might be said or written on the subject. If you are in the class of enthusiasts which go in for tennis and golf, beach sports, hiking and general outdoor sports and leisure pastimes no need telling you that "shorts" are the order of the day. It is our personal opinion that no tricolor shorts costumes could be more attractive if they tried than the group here pictured. THE HAT Here's two of the latest in distinctive millinery. For the very good-looking model at the top the designer makes a pirate's cap drape of vel piquante which is a multi-colored striped velvet which made its debut this season, and uses it for the crown of this handsome wide-brimmed navy blue straw. The colors are red, blue, navy, yellow and white. The effect is striking and novel. The new straws are often cellulose and the straw vote is "yes" to the stunning model below in the picture. The high-luster effect which is now so very fashionable in blacks is sustained by a trimming of wide cellulose ribbon. Worn also are rayon mesh gloves with cellulose ribbon cuffs which together with the chameau makes a stunning ensemble, which was much-admired during a recent exhibition of man-made materials held recently in New York by the Fashion Group of that city. Plented shorts turn a clever trick, for they give every appearance of a smart-fashioned short skirt, which makes them eligible to many an occasion where the more simply constructed shorts might seem out of place. The plated shorts on the seated figure in the illustration are very attractively styled. The stunning blouse with its chic high collar and its modish side fastening and its intriguing sleeves is fashioned of a soft Irish linen which is plided in blue. The plented shorts are bright red which makes a very patriotic color, indeed, for this good-looking sports costume. The shorts to the left are also made of blue and white Irish plaid linen, only the plaids are larger than for the blouse just described. Navy blue buttons and a navy blue eton collar are good color accents. Inverted pleats both in front and back insure perfect freedom. The fashionable high neckline in front and a completely bare back follow along lines of newest daytime decouletage, a good idea for sun tanning. The Irish linen which fashions the beach shorts to the right in the group is of the loose-weave uncrushable type which gives such entire satisfaction in the wearing on hot summer days for rough-and-tumble frolic in the sands. It is backless with a graceful V-line front neckline, which adopts small reverses so that if one wants to slip on a jacket after one's sun bath, the costume is quite complete. © by Western Newspaper Union. SHOW SHORT SKIRT WITH SUMMER GARB There are rumors to the effect that as summer advances, street frocks and suits will be slightly shorter, so that one must get after calves and ankles that have thickened. It is possible to buy anklets of rubber that will reduce fatty accumulations. They can be worn at night. Certain exercises are helpful—high kicking, running up stairs, lifting up on the toes. Massage will take off inches if it is vigorous. Make a bracelet of the hands, twist and turn and dig in. Rub up and down with the flattened thumb. During the treatment keep the skin surface covered with borated talc. Travel Accessories Best If you are going on a trip and haven't room in your bags to pack several pairs of slippers and an extra wrap, take along something that will blend with each formal gown which you intend to wear. If one of your frocks is black and another is blue, pale green or some other pastel shade, black slippers and a black wrap will go with each dress. Brown satin pumps and a brown wrap will blend with almost everything except black. They're very nice with pink and good with silver and gold. Seersucker Raincoats Checked seersucker is being used to fashion many popular raincoats. Some of them are made in a sleeveless style with cape tops. Matching umbrellas and hats complete these ensembles. **Velvet for Summer** Black velvet and white pique are being featured in one important eastern summer collection of hats. The velvet appears in crowns, brim facings, flowers, belts and pipings.
