Cole of 9802 Kemunton Ave. HEAR! HEAR!! A The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING In spite of the fact that the A. & P. and Fisher stores in Quincy Ave. at E. 85th and E. 84th Sts., respectively, absolutely refuse to give employment to Afro-Americans, you just ought to see how our people pack those stores, particularly on Saturday nights. Thus endeth the fight that former Councilman Clayborne George and his wife, later Mrs. George, spent some months ago, on these two places of business because of their refusal to give members of the race employment. Yes, we are a great (?) people. Director Ezra Shapiro is entitled to praise (and not criticism) for "cleaning house" when he "fired," last week, those assistant police prosecutors and absolutely refused to return Selmo Glenn to work on the insistence of our three councilmen, lead by Bundy. If Councilmen Buny, Payne and Hubbard want a good job, The Rounder suggests that they tackle the various color-lines in the several city departments. There is enough work there to keep them busy for the rest of their terms, and it is a job that ought to be tackled immediately and done well just as soon as possible. Tell them when you see them. Another week, and Mayor Harry L. Davis will in all probability have the financial obstacles cleared away that have been obstructing his path ever since he began to solve the financial muddle into which the economic depression and the Ray T. Miller Democratic local administration thrust the city. Then there was a set up as far as jobs and positions are concerned. Up-to-date, the real friends and active supporters of the mayor, during the campaign, last fall, almost to a man, have been ignored in the distribution of positions and jobs which the mayor, some months ago, announced were given out by "friends who double-crossed" him. There ought to be a thorn "house-cleaning," and The Rounder believes that they will be able to keep up with the mayor. In the 11th, 17th and 18th wards, almost to a man, the persons given jobs were either Sweeney, George, Payne or Bundy supporters, last fall, and not active in behalf of the Davis candidacy. And they included a number of ministers and their wives. This is a well-known fact. The time, therefore, is ripe for a radical change, if the mayor's real friends are to be properly recognized. Rumors are already being circulated at the Portland-Outwhaite center and down at the garbage plant. Tuesday, it was reported that over sixty of our employees of the "Muny" light plant in Lakeside Ave., were let out, last Saturday. Maybe that is the beginning. "Gorilla" Jones Sidetracked. "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, former champion of his class, was kept from taking a leading part as a prize-fighter in Mae West's next picture, "It Ain't No Sin", as a result of objections made by the "cracker" producers who were on a visit in Hollywood while the movie was being made. In the picture, "Gorilla" was to have given an exhibition in which he won the championship. Instead, he was given a small part as a happy-go-lucky gambler on a New Orleans levee. TRYING TO MAKE US Accept Segregation and "Jim-Crow- ism" Generally—Hill—Dubois New York City.—The dismissal of our teachers, 58 in number from the Chester, Pa., public schools, comes as the culmination to the long and persistent struggle carried on by the parents, teachers, and their suppor- Dr. Robert R. Moton. ters against the establishment of a dual educational system in Pennsylvania, which was begun in Berwyn and Chester. It is a direct and open threat to our people of the North, in brazen defiance of all civil laws for bidding "jim-crowism" and segregation. It is a bold attempt on the part of the authorities and our misleaders to undermine our efforts to Cheney, Pa. Institute, to force our citizens to accept "voluntary segregation," a movement which has been launched on a large scale by Dr. Wm. E. DuBois of Atlanta (Ga.) Universi- Dr. Carter G. Woodson. ty. The dismissal of these 68 teachers en masse will enable the venerable Dr. DuBois to speak with greater authority and conviction. It will enable Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Eugene Kinckle Jones of the National Urban League to come out more boldly than ever for "voluntary segregation," for which he was honored by the famous Dr. R. M. Roton of Tuskegee Institute. They are telling our people to give up their struggle against "jim-crowism," against discrimination, against lynching. Shame! O, SHAME!!! REFUSED TO RESTORE GLENN. Director Shapiro Denies the Plea of Counsel Handicapym and Hospitalization Rights Law Director Ezra Shapiro flatly refused the urgent request of Councilmen Bundy Payne and Hubbard that he reconsider his dismissal of Selmo C. Glenn as an assistant police prosecutor. Glennn's own story that he left a list of the places to be raided, on his desk where it could be easily seen, was "the height of indiscretion." Shapiro said, also, that he believed Glennn had committed an error of judgment in issuing a warrant for assault and battery against three youths who chargederge immediately attacking her. Director Shapiro insisted that he had答玲 Glennn to resign so that the police prosecutor's office could be reorganized. Glennn refused to resign, so was dismissed. The three councilmen ought to be made to support Perry B. Jackson for the place. He has earned it. Former Special Assistant Secretary of War Emmett J. Scott, now secretary of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and several other Afro-Americans from different sections of the country, were in Cleveland, last week, attending the annual convention of the American College Publicity Association. Several of our delegates stopped at Wade Park Manor where the meetings were held. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FIGHT! ENDING" WAR N AND "JIM CROWISM" URGED TARY WALTER WHITE press to the Recent Annual Confer- f the N. A. A. C. P.— The New Deal." AN "UNENDING" WAR ON SEGREGATION AND "JIM CROWISM" URGED BY SECRETARY WALTER WHITE In His Annual Address to the Recent Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P.— "The New Deal." "Because segregation based upon race and color makes easy and permanent discriminations in public education, health services, street-paving, fire and police protection, public recreation, employment and other vital phases of life, our people are unalterably opposed to segregation, and we are not the country where they realize it may take a long time to eradicate the evil. But no matter how hard the road or distance the goal, we must and will fight toward that objective without let-up. Really intelligent white Americans will join in that fight. There can and will be no solving of the race problem, nor will segregation be eradicated it as long as this chasm is understood, of suspicion, of hostility which segregation perpetuates and increases, exists." Mr. White hailed the growth of liberalism on the race question in the South, declaring that young southern whites would be replacing in a few years the older generation which has battened on race hatred and bigotry. It is our duty, especially in the South, he said, to increase the number of those whites who are above race prejudice. Formal announcement that the fight for the passage of a federal anti-lynch bill would be continued in the next congress and pressed without pause, the result of which led to lynchings of 1934, of which he were staged after it became fairly clear that congress was going to side-track the Costigan-Wagner bill. Citizens were admonished to use their vote as weapons for justice, both in the case of candidates in the fall election and on all issues affecting the welfare of the race. Mr. White urged that all Congress candidates be forced to make known their stand in writing on anti-lynch legislation. Delegates were urged to return to their home communities and keep alert on the workings of the NRA, the AAA, the PWA, and other 'New Deal' devices. They were told they had to get the facts on discrimination and that to 'preset morning, moon and night' to those mornings. Sounding a final fighting note in a speech which bristled with a slashing attack on injustices inflicted upon our people, Secretary White declared: "Only by persistent, unyielding protest will we be heard and answered. We are learning this lesson at the urge of bitter necessity and suffering. Since January 1, ninety-nine new branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have been organized or are in process of organization. Those added to the 378 branches already in existence indicate the grim determination of Americans to wage an organized, relentless and uneasing campaign for justice to Afro-Americans." Forty-five minutes of Mr. White's address was broadcast without charge by station WKY, owned by the Daily Oklahoman. The meeting was held in the First Presbyterian church (white) here and was addressed also by Congressman Oscar DePriest. The two most elaborate and powerful pieces of "New Deal" machinery, the AAA, and the NRA, have not improved the lot of our workers, and, indeed, have left some of them worse off than they were before. John P. Davis of the Boston University and the influence in address, last week Thursday evening. Mr. Davis, secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, composed of representatives of twenty-two national interracial organizations, said his committee had submitted briefs and oral arguments in behalf of our workers in more than 60 countries. Competition he declared the AAA, led by the Roosevelt administration to ease the credit burden of farmers --- Oklahoma City, Okla. — Calling for an "unending" warfare upon segregation in all its forms and particularly upon segregation and lynching, Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., closed the twenty-fifth annual conference here, Sunday, with a fighting speech. Pay his respects to segregation in sharp language. Secretary White said: DECLARES NEW DEAL HAS NOT HELPED US THE GAZETTE is the most gross publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any well immediate its rank and the NEWEST AND BEST published in the section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. and raise farm prices, had left our farmers in the south to the merces of "the very men who heretofore had charged them exorbitant interest, and who held the mortgages on their fertile farm lands." Our farmers in this section of the country with credit problems were directed to these local functionaries, the speaker decided with the loop and that they would foreign forage and exploitation and aid them in securing easy credit from the federal government." Justice was too much to expect in such a condition as this. Lost 80,000 Acres “When it is realized that our people in the South owned two and one-half million acres of land less in 1330 than in 1920, and that from 1330 until the end of 1933 they had lost approximately 800,000 additional acres of land, it will be plain that the farm-owned population has been forced into the debased position of the farm-tenant and sharecropper.” Contracts between the landlord and the government in the cotton-reduction program failed to protect the tenant, the landowner and sharecroppers, the speaker said, and “made it an easy matter for the cotton-producer to defraud his tenants and he was quick to avail himself of this federal gratuity.” DOINGS OF THE RACE The Colorado supreme court has just handed down a decision upholding the civil rights law of that state. Atty. W. H. Haynes of Chicago is a Republican candidate for municipal court judge. Booker Corry of Philadelphia carried his employer's wife from their burning home. A hero! Several civil rights suits against "jim-crow" restaurants in Chicago were won in the municipal court of that city, last week. Homer M. Taylor of Charleston has been appointed an engineer in the Road Commission of W. Virginia. Nineteen of our young men and women received degrees and diplomas from Boston University at its recent graduating exercises. Samuel Coley will get $10,000 war risk insurance when he becomes of age, as a result of a suit in U. S. court at Philadelphia which has been pending for ten years. Lieut. Wm. M. Dupree, aged 95, native Ohioan (Chillicothe), died June 22, in Boston. He had served many years as superintendent of station A, Boston postal service. Ray O. Wilhoit, ex-president of our Nat'l. Alliance of Postal Employees, is now an assistant passenger traffic agent for the Wabash Railroad at St. Louis, Mo. Attempted federal action and not state action against mobs is "grisly fiction", because the former we will never get and the latter is successful in a majority of states of the union. The Alabama Supreme Court, last Thursday, again upheld the death verdict against Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris, Scottboro boy-victims, and set the date of their execution for Aug. 31. The I. L. D. is filing an appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. The "Tuskegee" lynching record for the first six months of 1934: There were six lynchings. This is 2 less than the number for the first six months of 1933; and 1 more than the number, 5, for the first six months of 1932. Florida this year, the farmer, has had 1; Kentucky, 1; Mississippi, 2; Tennessee, 1; and Texas, 1.

A CHALLENGE TO CIVILIZATION Flaunting the decent opinion of mankind, the supreme court of Alabama has again sentenced two of the Scottsboro boy-victims to death in the electric chair. Despite the repudiation of Ruby Bates' original testimony by the girl herself, despite the implicit faith in the innocence of the boys, manifested by informed men and women everywhere, a "cracker" court, taking its orders from "the slaveholding aristocracy of the Confederacy," has again ordered two innocent boys to their death on the testimony of a discredited woman. The answer of the civilized world should be prompt and vigorous. In every city and town in the United States, in every corner of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, protest meetings should be arranged at once. Every consulate and every embassy should be visited by delegations of responsible citizens. In addition let men and women everywhere on earth pledge that as long as the Scottsboro boy-victims are in jail, American cotton will not be purchased. A blockade of southern ports during the Civil War brought the South to her knees. A world-wide boycott of American raw-cotton will knock a little sense into the thick skulls of southern bourbons, if nothing else will. The Scottsboro boy-victims will not die world-opinion can be crystallized, and mankind can be aroused to action. AWAKEN N. A. A. C. P.! In the Nation, magazine, for June 27, 1934, Helen Boardman and Martha Gruening, the former an investigator for the N. A. A. C. P., have written an article entitled, "Is the N. A. A. C. P. Retreating?" The substance of the essay is that the N. A. A. C. P. grossly mismanaged the defense of George Crawford, who was returned from Massachusetts to Virginia to face two murder charges. Crawford has been given two life-terms and Walter White has hailed the outcome of the case as a great victory. The writers of the Nation article, one of them an experienced lawyer, cannot see where in the victory lies. They leave the definite impression that the sole victory appears to be in securing for an innocent man two life-terms instead of the death penalty. In other words, the N. A. A. C. P. has lent itself to the new southern practice of sentencing Afro-Americans to death or to life-imprisonment after a semblance of a trial, instead of lynching them out of hand. The article concludes with these significant queries: "Is this policy (i. e. of fight) to be exchanged for one of abject surrender? Has the N. A. A. C. P. decided on retreat (with DuBois)? We do not believe that the N. A. A. C. P. can successfully defend itself against the charges. Anyone conversant with its branch activities in recent years knows that the organization has retreated. Timid lawyers, shyster politicians, and false white supporters, looking for votes, have had entirely too much influence in it. Struggle after struggle has been wrecked by internal dissention. But the N. A. A. C. P. has a glorious opportunity to redeem itself. Two of the Scottsboro boy-victims have just been sentenced to death for the third time by the "cracker" supreme court of Alabama. Let the organization hasten to gather material from its files and publish a "Black Book of the American Terror." Let the book be profusely illustrated and distributed to every section of the civilized world. That is one task the N. A. A. C. P. is ideally fitted to undertake. But if it imagines it can stay out of the Scottsboro affair because the legal defense is in the hands of another organization, it is mistaken. And if it believes it can give half-hearted, perfunctory assistance, it is also wrong. It must fight to the limit of its resources or face a deserved death. DU BOIS AGAIN. Dr. Wm. E. DuBois of Atlanta University, under date of June 26, 1934, issued another long statement addressed to the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. in which he insists upon the acceptance of his resignation as editor of The Crisis, Magazine, and from all connection with that organization, stipulating that the same date from July 1, 1934. All of which is very pleasing to the great mass of our self and race respecting loyal members of the race who refuse absolutely to accept his new stand in favor of at least partial racial segregation. In this statement DuBois calls attention to the fact that at various times during the N. A. A. C. P.'s existence, it has condoned partial racial segregation that not accepting it. He also says the organization "finds itself in a time of crisis and change without a program; without effective organization, without executive officers who have either the ability or disposition to guide the N. A. A. C. P. in the right direction." This is the unkindest cut of all, even tho not entirely true. In justification of this unfortunate comment, DuBois claims the directors consistently ignored his recommendation "for its realignment and readjustment to new duties"; refused his "program for economic readjustment", his "demand for a change in personnel" and his "protest against its mistakes and blunders". All of which fails to justify his radical change, from aggressive opposition to segregation and "jim-crowism", to at least partial support of both. This second statement of DuBois' clearly shows that he is sadly out of harmony with the more progressive efforts of our self and race respecting loyal members of the race, and proves to us that he has "turned turtle" on the race for the purpose of promoting his personal financial success. He undoubtedly felt this necessary in order to ingratiate himself during the "economic depression", with those in the South particularly, who could give him profitable service such as he is enjoying at Atlanta University. Exit DuBois and good riddance! --- ROOSEVELT AND LYNCHING. It has become something of a tradition that the president of the United States congratulate the N. A. A. C. P. on the occasion of its annual convention. President Roosevelt has done the expected thing. So we may presume that southern delegates at Oklahoma City were properly impressed. Yet a few hours after, Mr. Roosevelt delivered an important radio address on the status of the "New Deal" and forgot all about lynching and "The Negro." "The administration," said Mr. Roosevelt in the course of his radio address, "strengthened the hand of the federal government in its attempts to suppress gangster crime." To be sure! It moved with dispatch against kid nappers because the victims are invariably rich! But against the worst of all gangsters, the human rats who form lynch-murder mobs, the government did absolutely nothing! It has done absolutely nothing while for the third time the cotton-barons of Alabama again sentence the innocent Scottsboro boys to death. So long as the federal government persists in doing nothing against lynch-murder, "jim-crowism," and legalynchings, such as the Scottsboro and George Crawford affairs, it should be the policy of every self-respecting organization interested in the betrayment of the race to refrain from giving any publicity to a message from a chief executive of the United States who does absolutely nothing to alleviate the tragic plight of one-tenth of America's population. Prime Sport News Prime Sport News Owens Wins Broad Jump Jesse Owens, Cleveland's greatest treasurer, jumped the competition, the broad jump, championship, finished second in the 100-meter dash and 3X0 was the second highest individual scorer in the national A.

Metcalfe, the greatest sprinter, achieved the distinction of winning both the 100 and 200-meter races for the third successive year, tying the record of Bernie Wefer, now coach of the New York A. C., who in 1905, 1906 and 1907 won both sprints. Metcalfe's only challenge in the 100 came from Owens, but the 200 was a romp for Ralph in 21:31. Owens did not enter this event. Metcalfe's 10 points led the individual scoring, while Owens, with his broad jump victory and his second in the 100, scored 8 points. FERGUSON-BLOUNT. The Editor's Secretary Weds a Fine Young Man—A Perfect Wedding —Church Crowded—Service Beautiful—Reception. Miss Ella Mae, daughter of Mrs. Daisy Ferguson, 3257 E. 126th St. at the Bloomsbury School, Blount at the Elsom Ave, were married at Mt. Pleasant M. E. Church, June 16, at 7:30 p. m., Rev. Mrs. Ella Mac Blount. Wm. McMorries officiating. This wedding, the first to be held in the church, and a semi-formal affair, was carried out "without a hitch." The church was beautifully decorated in rainbow colors. Miss Julia Mae Randolph sang exceptionally well deKoven's "Oh, Promise Me", Miss Juanita Thomas played Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride wore a white satin gown while the malds were dressed in organdes. Miss Odessa Ferguson, cousin of the maid of honor, of course, Blount, brother of the groom, was best man; Mildred Jackson and Dorothy Saunders, flower-girls, little Billy Jordan, ring-bearer; the Misses Nina Martin, Theo Brown, Freddie M. Campbell, Heil Cloud, Olliebilt Blount, Margaret Fannin, Agnes Williams and Thela Mermott, bridalmaids; Messrs.

Constantly increasing crowds of old people, some hate, some limping, who stream into the old age pension offices in the Public Square Building, have brought the Cuyahoga County applications to between 400 and 500 a day. The grand total of applications since the office opened about three weeks ago, is more than 10,000. The payments to approved applicants are to start July 1. To be eligible for an old age pension the applicant must be more than 65 years old, must have been a resident of Ohio for fifteen years and of this count for at least one year. The maximum pension is $400. Any outside income the pension is adjusted so that the total of private and pension income does not exceed $300 a year. Single applicants may possess real property up to $3,000 and married applicants up to $4,000. In most cases some deduction from pensions will result since the property is often income-producing.

L TITLE AMERICA, ANTARCTI CA, June 26 (via Mackay Radio) —This is seal-skinning time in Little America. You should see our blubbery biologists at work—Earle E. Perkins of New Brunswick, N. J. Paul A. Siple of Erie, Pa., and Alton A. Lindsey of West Newton, Pa. What a mess! They are very busy preparing seal-skins and that is some job. As I told you before, we have killed 500 seals for the food supply of ourselves and our dogs and the skins of these seals are valuable for various purposes, although they are covered with hair instead of the Arthur Abele poking fun at an Emperor penguin at Little America thick fur of northern seals. Already the three biologists have prepared seventeen Weddell and Crabatear seals and still have hundreds to do. They are prepared complete, with head, flippers and tails intact. When we get them back in the States they will be mounted in habitat groups for various museums all over the country. Fixing up these seals is a very difficult job. Under the skin there is a layer of blubber, or thick gooey fat, to keep the seal warm in this climate. Every vestige of this blubber and all flesh must be removed and the bones of the skull and flippers must be cleaned carefully and preserved. Yesterday, for two hours, I watched Lindsay at this work. He was literally up to Lanny Ross, Rome On Daytime Stars of a stellar evening show appear in a weekly, Friday raid famous tenor, Lanny Ross. Top, lo Conrad Thibault is shown at the t and (right) Maria, sister of Capt IDOL of millions of young, American women, Lanny Ross, romantic radio tenor, is coming back to a daytime program. Four years ago this personable young man made his air debut on a daytime show and "caught on," as the phrase goes. He then became the star of a Thursday night program that reached the peak of popularity. Now Lanny's returning to matinee radio. He will appear in Maria's Certo Matinee, a unique show that starts May 18, and will be heard every Friday afternoon on an NBC coast-to-coast hook-up.

It was fascinating to watch him. He told me they are going to secure many live Adelie and Emperor penguins in the spring (October) to bring back to zoos in America. They have materials for a large cage on hand and will not have the trouble trying unsuccessfully to keep them in a big bole in the snow that Paul Siple had on the last Expedition. Here's the most interesting thing he told me—they are going to install a big water tank on the Jacob Ruppert for the penguins on the homeward trip. It seems that it is very difficult to transport penguins alive because they must be fed by force—cramming the food down their necks. They cannot bend over to pick up food and can only eat when swimming or diving under water. I didn't know these things before and was greatly interested. Lindsey told me also that he and Siple and Perkins will prepare many penguin skins for mounting in museums at home and that they have already fixed a great quantity of skins of skuas gulls, snowy petrels and Antarctic petrels, which, with the penguins and seals, will allow us to bring back probably the greatest collection of Antarctic fauna ever made available to American students of natural history.

BE O GET AME OF U N HE U SO DONT MY THIS SOLO HAS LASTED HALF AN HOUR. THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE STATION IS ABOUT DUE OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob-violence or anti-lynching laws 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 lynchings. 6283. Women 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 "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; 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 such children in lynching for the law 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 lynchings; any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of a publicate officer, 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, at such lynching shall be deemed a person responsible, 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 or infliction of affliction of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public dance by land or water, theater or other form of entertainment 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 dollars 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 one people will not use it as often as they need to use it to do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. CEDAR BRANCH Y.M.C.

By RING LARDNER Don't Throw A way Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe After Seeing It Stratosphere Balloon A man in a lab coat welding a large spherical object. Gondola for Stratosphere Flight. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. - WNLI Service. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. THE huge balloon, which will be used in the stratosphere flight sponsored totally by the Nation- JOINT al Geographic society and the United States army air corps, is the largest ever armored. It will take the air from a protected spot in the Black Hills near Rapid City, South Dakota. The balloon was made in a vast room in an Akron, Ohio, factory, whose windows were sealed, whose air was strained through canton flannel, and where men and women employees wore grift-free "slumber shoes" of cloth as they walked over rubber-impregnated fabric. The bag is capable of holding three million cubic feet of hydrogen gas. This capacity is nearly three and a half times that of the largest free balloon hitherto built. The finished bag which was rushed westward to the point of takeoff by truck, will lift two interpell officers and a cargo of specially designed scientific instruments near fifteen miles above sea level. Not a stitch was taken in putting together more than two and a third acres of cloth. Instead of being a job for a seamstress or a _call-maker, the task was closest to that of a news editor pasting together pages of "copy" or a librarian mending a torn page. Everyone of the 3,520 major pieces into which the fabric was cut, and each of the scores of smaller fragments, was cemented with the greatest care to its next-door neighbors with rubber cement. The next step was to cover the cemented seams of this jigsaw puzzle with fabric-backed rubber tape on both sides. When these operations were completed the seams were actually stronger than the neighboring fabric. More than 900 gallons of cement— More than 300 gallons of cement—the purest rubber dissolved in gasoline and benzol—were required to put the balloon together. Immensity of the Balloon. Immensity of the Balloon. Although the balloon room in which the great balloon was made is three hundred feel long and in places more than a hundred feet wide, that area was not a large enough one in which to spread out the completed bag. Portions of the bag as large as racing yacht main-sails, assembled on the floor during construction, represented relatively small fragments of the balloon area. Half of three "orange-peel" sections, or "gores," cemented together and spread out, covered nearly half the floor of the balloon room. Yet twenty-five sections equally as large had to be cemented on to this piece before the bag was finished. Owing to the huge size of the balloon segments, final construction operations required pilling them in long windrows of pleats with only the edges exposed for cementing. After large sections of the balloon were put together, thousands of cubic feet of air was pumped under the fabric to float it off the floor for inspection. Men under the cloth looked through it to strong light, finding any thin spots. These were reinforced with rubber patches. Cloth for the balloon was made from specially selected cotton of unusually long, strong fibers. It was woven in strips 42½ inches wide and 300 feet long. One hundred and thirty of these massive rolls were used in cutting out the balloon—39,000 running feet or more than seven and a third miles of cloth. Every square foot of the amazing acreage of cloth passed through a rubberizing machine thirty times, each time receiving a very thin coat of rubber. More than 50 employees worked on the balloon under a balloon-building expert, who, during the past twenty years, has supervised the construction of more than a thousand balloons and airships for the army and navy. Packing the completed balloon for its westward trip was no small problem. It was probably the largest unit of fabric that was ever transported. It required folding with extreme care and its surfaces, and folds had to be protected so that there would be no rubbing. Gondola is of Dowmetal. Without a single rope, and without its valves, the bag weighs approximately 4,700 pounds. With ropes and valves, but without the gondola and its trappings, the balloon's weight is slightly over 5,000 pounds. When the balloon rises from the earth with all its attachments and load, it will weigh nearly eight tons. The gondola is a huge hollow ball 8 feet 4 inches in diameter, that has been built up by welding together eight sections shaped like pieces of orange peel. The shell made of dow metal is slightly less than three-stealths of an inch thick. At first glance the big metal ball seems to be built of steel; and it is almost as strong as though it were. But the shell, as it stands, without its various fittings, weighs only 450 pounds. If it were made of steel, it would weigh practically a ton. The two largest openings in the gondola, just above the "equator line," are manholes—one each for MaJ. William E. Kepner and Capt. Albert W. Stevens, the "crew." The manholes are fitted with covers, which will be clamped down until air-tight by a heavy bolt, easily tightened and loosened by hand from within. On the way down from the stratosphere, when breathable air has been reached, these manhole covers will be lifted from their hinges and thrown overboard—attached to parachutes—as ballast. Numerous small portholes have been provided in the shell of the ball. Some are covered with glass and will serve as observation windows; in some the lenses of cameras are mounted with air-tight fittings; and in others scientific instruments have been placed. One glass-covered port is situated in the exact top of the sphere so that Major Kepner, the balloon pilot, can look up through it and through the open bottom of the balloon appendix, and can read a large thermometer dial near the top of the bag which will tell him at all times the temperature of the hydrogen gas. The opening in the bottom of the metal ball was reserved for a large aerial camera which will make frequent photographs of the earth, straight downward. Part way up the curved side of the gondola is another camera opening for the taking of oblique photographs. Shelves for Apparatus. A series of shelves have been provided inside the ball between upright posts and the shell; and on them will be stored the dozens of pieces of scientific apparatus, batteries, oxygen flasks, and other paraphernalia needed for twelve hours of scientific "housekeeping" in the stratosphere. Around the edge of the floor will be piled forty-pound sacks of lead dust for ballast. The most unusual assortment of scientific instruments that has ever been brought together to fathom the secrets of the upper air—many of them provided with "electric brains" and "photographic eyes"—were built and assembled at Wright field in the huge machine shop and laboratory of the United States army air corps. In this "pay load" of nearly a ton of apparatus lies the reason for the most ambitious stratosphere expedition vet planned. All of the work at Dayton on the devices to gather scientific data was done under the personal supervision of Capita Stevens, famous aerial photographer and observer, who has himself designed some of the instruments. Probably the most important instrument invented by Captain Stevens is a balloon valve of unique design. Heretofore it has been necessary to operate a valve in the top of a balloon bag by means of a rope tugged from the gondola far below. As balloons have increased in size, this type of valve has become less and less satisfactory. Captain Stevens' valve will be opened by means of a long rubber hose into which compressed gas will be admitted. When the air pressure is released, the valve closes. The principle is like that used for operating brakes. The valve has been tested through 400 feet of rubber hose in a cold chamber whose temperature was minus 45 degrees centigrade. It worked perfectly. Baraca and Philathea Baraca is a name applied to Sunday school classes of men, and is derived from the Hebrew word, Beracah, meaning blessing. Philathea is a combination of two Greek words, philos and alathea, which signifies lover or seeker of truth. The name is used by Sunday school classes of women or girls. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 7. 1934 New Hair Fashions Are Versatile By CHERIE NICHOLAS MOST women realize or are coming to realize that as far as capitalizing personal charm and achieving a smart and distinctive appearance are concerned, there is nothing which so effectively does just that as perfect grooming. Not even a wardrobe of beautiful clothes can do for one that which a becomingly coiffed head, a cunningly arched eyebrow and a youth-giving facial can do. In lieu of which, small wonder is it that the matter of placing one's destiny in the hands of one's favorite beautician is growing to be a fixed habit with the fair sex rather than an occasional luxury. And so, Madam and Miss Vacationist, how about it, are you making it a matter of first importance to see to it that your hair is set in order ere you depart for seashore, or mountainside? Now that the newest method is to do it the machineless way—no wires attached—no electricity, the acquiring of a "permanent" becomes more of a pastime than a trying, tedious ordeal. By the way, it is well to keep in mind in regard to the latest hairdress that the distinguishing feature of the smartest collures is hair that is partly curly and partly straight. Which means that for the first time in years the girl with straight hair has a real advantage, for she can get a permanent wave and have the waves placed where she wants them instead of having them all over her head. The girlish hairdress at the top of the group illustrates the idea. Here the hair is brushed back sleek and waveless from the forehead with curls and waves developing at the back and each side. That pretty fashion of wearing flowers in the hair has been revived. In this instance a semi-wreathlet of postes adds infinite charm. By CHERIE NICHOLAS This smart new and very wearable swagger suit in a heavy sheer of bemberg has a dashing windswelt collar of white pique. A suit of this description is an asset to any and every summer wardrobe. Its three-quarter coat will pose stunningly over any one of your daytime prints and it looks ever so voguish worn with your white and pastel colored piques and linens. Every woman will at once see the possibilities in this suit. The winsome maiden wearing the fluffy-ruffie act collar, posed below in the picture, also has a part-straight and a part-curly hairdress, and there is a suspicion of bangs surmounting her brow—an adorable collure for youth. Yes, we agree with you, the hair arrangement to the left in the picture is extreme and will probably interest only the type who are seekers after something "different." We appreciate the fact that it would take some time for the conservative average woman to adjust to such a radical change from prevailing fashions as this. However, it does carry the message that the newest trend is to bring curls up higher on the head off the nape of the neck, not necessarily as high as pictured, but striking a happy medium. Here you see also the coronet braid which if you haven't one grown to your head, need worry you not at all, for you can buy 'em looking as natural as your very own. And beau-catchers, that's what our grandmammas used to call them in the days of their youth, if we are not mistaken—referring to those little curly-kews over the temple and forehead. A more conservative hairdress is presented to the left in the group. It is just such as ladies of refinement and cultured taste will covet. Not a hair is seen out of place, which is exactly what fashion demands of the new coiffures, an exquisite finesse which stands for expert grooming. Since it is again the fashion to wear ribbons and bandeaux, you thought you might like to see the attractive way the idea has been carried out in the instance of a young modern, so we are adding it (in the circle) as a postscript. The bandane is formed of velvet leaves which crown her pretty waves and curls in classic simplicity. © by Western Newsaper Union. SUMMER CLOTHES REALLY FEMININE Clothes have become so profoundly feminine that happily one no longer feels obliged to babble about their femininity. They are obviously created for women, not for tomboys, or baby dolls. This midseason shows the mode ascending toward a perfection of balance that has not been achieved in a long time. Exaggerated wind-blown effects have been swept away, leaving pleasant ghosts of their former selves to lend movement to the silhouette. The bust is now the most important point—yes, one can say it, the high spot—of the silhouette. Every couturier emphasizes it in some way, at least on frocks and blouses. All the other moot style boundaries fade into insignificance beside it. Black Complex Features Midsummer Collections Lovely, wearable, feminine clothes distinguished the Paris midseason collections. Freaks and oddities were conspicuous by their absence; no busies, no panniers, no fish-fins, nothing zoological. They follow, in the main, the natural lines of the body, and their aim is to make women attractive. Two leading points stood out. First, the black complex. Secondly, the persistence of the three-quarter coat. Many collections are so black, that you might think a gigantic inkwell had been spilled over them. Black for morning, black for afternoon, black for evening. Sometimes, for evenings, very exciting fabrics make the black gowns unusual. Cellophanes, and cires, and curious crinkles and clokles. With her blacks, whites, and unusual gams, and her fabrics suggesting widow's weeds, Schiaparelli seemed to be celebrating the funeral of the depression. Countess Olga Albani again EYES HAVE IT!
