LOVERS IN THEIR YOUTH
THEY LIVED TOGETHER FOR MORE THAN A HALF CENTURY.
She Is Robbed of $12,000 by Executors and Other Heirs of the Danforth Estate—Wins Her Fight for It.
Memphis, Tennessee. — Appeal from the decree of District Judge H. B. Anderson of Memphis awarding Alice Keaton, mulatto, 69 years old, a 160-acre farm in Crittenden County near Riceville, Ark., and $12,000 in cash from the estate of the late C. B. Danforth (white), a farmer, Crittenden County, has just been filed in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals by W. Morgan Garrort of Appeals, executor of the Danforth estate. The assayer grew of a long and great attachment between the woman and the man. Danforth. For 53 years they lived together. She was 17 years old and he was a penniless young man when their association began. The two lived together in complete accord. Danforth was a shrewd business man. She was an industrious, frugal and economical woman. They started in together and, at Danforth's death he was worth more than $50,000. But, under the laws of Arkansas, they could not marry and she could not have even the status of a common law wife. But without a common Judge Anderson wiped out, Danforth treated her as few men treat their wives. The trial revealed that when they became affluent Danforth provided for her handsomely.
Placed Property in Her Name.
It was a frequent practice of his to place real estate and other property in her name and other his or her name, and would have done. For a number of weeks prior to his death, Danforth was a very sick man. She nursed him day and night. At his death, she says in the
COL. HERBERT J. TWELVETREE
A Candidate for the Republican Non-
ination for Sheriff—Former Man-
ager of the Cleveland Public
Auditorium—World War
Col. Twelvetree was born and reared in Cleveland. In 1916, he served on the Mexican border as adjutant of the first provisional motor truck train in the U. S. army. Entering the World War as a first lieutenant, he became a colonel in France and first assistant chief of staff of the 37th division. He was awarded the American Distinguished Service Medal, the Belgian War Cross and the French Legion of Honor.
The Colonel is well known locally as manager of Cleveland Public Auditorium, for three years. One of these years saw the largest attendance and greatest receipts of any in the history of the hall. A Democratic state examiner reported that three vice presidents managed the efficiently and economically and at the same time had left it in better physical condition than he had found it. In 1832 the Colonel ran for his first electoral office, that of sheriff. He was recommended by all three Cleveland papers, by the Citizens Court and held 174.234 votes a Democratic landslide, coming within 4,200 of being elected. This was, with one exception, the largest vote cast for any Republican in the county.
EXPLAINS ILLEGAL
VOTING TRANSFERS.
Councilman Bundy Says His Secretary Signed Names for the Voters.
Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, councilman for the 17th ward, admitted to the Board of Elections that illegal transfers of voters in the ward had been cleared thru his office. The board found 29 transfers in the 17th and three in the 20th ward. Bundy said his secretary had made the mistake
petition upon which this suit is based, she was mentally and physically incapacitated to look after her affairs. In that condition she says, she was approached by the executors and heirs of Danforth's estate and informed that the farm upon which she and Danforth had lived was desired by other parties, but would be sold by the estate to her if she desired it. The price was fixed at $12,000, which she agreed to pay and did pay from a certain deposit of $15,225. By a Memphis bank and found in Danforth's safety deposit box. Not until later, the woman stated in her petition, did she become cognizant of the fact that she already had a deed for this farm and that the same had been executed to her by Danforth more than seven years prior to his death. She found the deed in an old trunk in which she kept her personal belongings, she stated. She says she then made claim to Danforth's executors for the return of the $12,000 she had paid for a farm she already owned. The executors refused her claim and the suit in the Memphis federal court was the result. In passing the deed she added herself as the executors of all blame in connection with the transaction because it was shown they had no knowledge that Alice Keaton had a deed to the property and that, because of her condition at the time they sold the farm to her, she had forgotten she had ever received a deed for the farm from Danforth.
of signing the names of voters for them on transfers from one precinct to another.
"Technically it's an illegality, of course, but she had no noot of creating a fraud." Bundy said. "These are mostly poor people and we wanted to save them the trip downtown, so we cleared these transfers thru my office."
The board turned over all the illegal transfers to Henry S. Brainard, assistant county prosecutor, who said that all the voters so far questioned had been legitimate and actually had moved.—Cleveland Daily Press, July 28, '34.

Lynchburg, Va.—Roscoe C. Bruce Jr., of New York City, his wife, Bessie Humbles Bruce, secretary to Fanny Hurst, the novelist, and Mrs. Josephine Humbles Kyle, have been named executors of the estate of Roscoe Humbles, wished Virginian, who accidentally and fatally shot himself.

GEIGER AND MORGAN
ARE TWO CANDIDATES FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS FOR STATE OFFICES Our People of Ohio Should Not Vote for at the Primaries, Aug. 14, 1934—Their Support of Prejudice Against the Race.
Any candidate who will pay out money for votes in Wards 11 and 17 ought to have his head examined. Pass this word along to all candidates and their close friends you meet.
For several weeks reports have reached The Rounder to the effect that color-line are being drawn at Puritas Springs Park. Wil some one, who has been at the park in recent weeks and knows, write The Rounder or call at The Gazette office at once?
It was very funny to see how we wanted to force Mr. DuBois to stick by a position that he had found unacceptable.
"We," meaning the great majority of our people, excepting possibly that pitifully weak board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., "wanted" nothing of the kind. No one questions DuBois' right to change his mind — from an aggressive anti-segregationist to an advocate of segregation, but all loyal, self and race respecting his character, his sincerity, honesty of purpose and loyalty to the race. They feel that he is trying to sell us out, at least as far as segregation is concerned, and for a job or something kin.
As far as the self and race-respecting loyal Afro-Americans of this city, county and state are concerned, and that includes The Gazette, a local committee-indorsement of Daniel E. Morgan's candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor, doesn't mean a thing! Over and in the face of, and in spite of the united protest of the loyal Afro-Americans of this city, City Manager Daniel E. Morgan We are Director Dudley S. Blossom our youngest member of more than four years he had barred our young men and women from training, as internes and student-nurses, respectively, in Cleveland's City Hospital, a PUBLIC institution maintained by tax-payers, many of whom were and are members of the race. Don't be a political door-mat but resent the Morgan-Blossom insult to all members of the race in this community and the state of Ohio. Do not vote for Morgan and be loyal, retaining your self and race of the community. The Morgan gave some of our people jobs, was City Manager of Cleveland, is NOT true. Maurice Maschke, the local Republican leader, gave them the jobs.
DO NOT VOTE FOR GEIGER!
Some years ago, our people of Springfield, O., had a long-drawn out fight against "jim-crow" schools that threatened the city. The Klux Klan element of that city sponsored the fight. One of the Klan's sympathizers was Judge Geiger who is a candidate for a Republican nomination as judge of the Ohio Supreme Court. Judge Geiger, then a common pleas judge of Clarke County (Springfield), absolutely refused to render a decision, in a case our people of Springfield, fighting against the Klux Klan, that would have settled the contest in their favor. In order to get this decision they had to help defeat Geiger whose successor promptly rendered the decision and helped materially to win the fight. Now this individual, Geiger, is asking our people of Ohio to vote for him for a position on the bench of the State Court. Our newspapers and ministers of Ohio, and all loyal members of the race, do not need to be told their

About two months ago it was announced that, as soon as money was available, civil service examinations were to be held for superintendent and assistant superintendent of the Portland-Outwaite Center and the Garbage plant. A number of persons have ever since impatiently awaited the announcement of the dates of the examinations. Money is now available and yet no announcement by the examiner has been made by Civil Service Commission. Why? Rumor has it that the assistant superintendent of the Garbage Plant was given another temporary appointment as superintendent of maintenance at the plant, then given an examination for the place and appointed without others ever having been given an opportunity to take the examination. Now rumor has it that the superintendents of both the center and the plant are soon to be replaced with temporary appointments without holding civil service examinations. That A. S. Gambame is to take charge of the center, succeeding Supt. Van Pelt, and is superintendent of the plant, succeeding Superintendent Wilmer Boyden. Secretary Mayo Fesler of the Citizens League must be as "sound asleep" as the Civil Service Commission. How come? Again The Rounder asks when will the constituents of Payne and Bundy wake up? Here is another opporter of theunchman John E. Hubbard to step in and that he knows "what it is all about"; make himself strong with his constituents and all of our people and many others in this city. Insist on the examinations being held at once for the four positions, Bro. Hubbard?-superintendents and assistant superintendents of both the center and the plant. Some weeks ago, it was discovered that thousands of gallons of gasoline had been stolen at the garbage plant. Rumor has it that the thief or thieves were located and discharged. Why? The Rounders are investigating and hopes to be able to answer these questions in the next issue of The Gazette. Here is another opportunity! "Step on the gas."

Fact No. 1—The free state of Maryland, is the only state in the Union that refuses to allow colored doctors to serve to take care of their own sick, is the state of the Tubercular Institution for Colored.
Fact No. 2—Maryland is one of the few states in the Union that refuses to allow colored officers to operate their reform schools.
Fact No. 3—Baltimore, the fourth largest city of Negro population, is the only city in the Union that refuses to allow a colored person to work in the library located in a colored neighborhood.
Fact No. 4—Baltimore, the largest city, is the great free state of Maryland, is the only city in the Union where Negroes work in large numbers that refuses to allow a Negro to wear a policeman's uniform.
Fact No. 5 — Baltimore is the only city in this Union or in any civilized or uncivilized country that has a police department which has a tipping table, that jumps right up and blacks your eyes, if you are a member of the colored race.
Fact No. 6 — Baltimore, in the great free state of Maryland, is the only city in the Union whose entire colored population is flat-footed, as each woman and each every time a Negro takes an examination to become a police officer. — Cincinnati, (O.) Union.

As we have frequently said, for very many years to come the only solution of mob violence and lynch-murder in this country is state legislation against the same.
BRUTALITY.
It is an interesting and correct observation that throut the entire western world, where labor disputes or conflicts with individuals arise, some of the police are often far greater disturbers of the peace than soldiers. They invariably show less sympathy for men with whom they must deal, and they are infinitely more brutal. Cleveland has had its Pojman affair, its Charles Brown Jr, incident, and the failure of some of our bluecoats to protect the lives of Afro-Americans at bathing pools. Worst of all, there are no signs that conditions are becoming better. Brutality seems to be the order of the day. It is no wonder, consequently, that a broader line is being drawn constantly between police and public. Stories are repeatedly coming to light of mistreatment of citizens at various precinct stations as a result of the "third degree." We would suggest to Miss Leona Marie Esch, of the reorganized Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice, that she delive into the subject of police brutality and indifference to the rights of Afro-Americans, before she gives vent to her usual outbursts about the imprisonment of some robber for ten years instead of sixty. The real test of a law-enforcing group is determined by what it does for the most defenseless element of the population. We commend this fact to the attention of Miss Esch and her association of wealthy backers.
DILLINGER NONSENSE
An aggregation of federal sleuths, lacking the courage to capture Dillinger alive, shot him to death in Chicago and endangered the lives of a score of innocent citizens. This was heralded by our daily press as a great victory for "law and order." On the day following the Dillinger killing, there was no room in the papers for anything except a history of the outlaw, coupled with sickening, moralizing editorials.
The law-enforcing machinery of our federal government would have earned praise had it coupled its efforts to place criminals behind the bars with an honest effort to remove innocent men from the inside of prison walls. How can the federal government make a case for law and order while it does nothing to investigate the Scottsboro affair, and while federal judges insist on keeping Tom Mooney behind the bars? Was Dillinger a greater enemy of society than the present supreme court of the state of Alabama or California? We are convinced that Dillinger was the lesser offender, despite the columns of 'buncombe in the daily newspapers that successfully concealed, for two days, the vital issues which threaten the stability of American life.
There will be other Dillingers, and we are not going to become in the least excited over them while innocent members of the race suffer imprisonment or execution with the direct connivance of federal, state, or local authorities. While it is unsafe here in Cleveland for the children of the race to enter most of the public bathing pools, while Afro-Americans are victims of police brutality in Cleveland and elsewhere, The Gazette cannot wax eloquent over the Dillinger affair, wherein a victim of a rotten social order was
Two Sisters Work 30 Years Together in Phone Exchange
GRACE BESSE
CASHIER
NEW women have attained continuous service records of 30 years in the business world, but London, O., has two sisters who each have served more than that number of years in the telephone business. In June of this year, Miss Besse Ballenger, long distance operator at the London exchange, was awarded a gold emblem by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in recognition of 30 years as a telephone worker. Two years ago her sister, Miss Grace Ballenger, received a similar award. During their long telephone careers the two sisters have lived and worked together, leading almost parallel lives. Grace accepted her first telephone job as part-time operator for the old Blake Telephone Company, a predecessor of the Ohio Bell company in London, in July, 1901. Within five months she was made chief operator in charge of the entire operating personnel of the exchange.
wiped out because there was not sufficient collective intelligence to deal early and wisely with a potential criminal. While the Scottsboro boys remain behind the bars, the state of Alabama and the government of the United States stand condemned of an offense infinitely worse than all of the Dillinger exploits combined.
HOUSING FOR WHOM?
The federal court has paved the way for improved housing on lower Cedar and Central Aves, by the Government, which, as we all know, is controlled by southern Democrats. But who will derive the benefits? Evidently socalled white men, women and children who are in fairly good economic circumstances. Poor whites and blacks, with little or no income, will be relegated to worse slums. And this is supposed to be a housing program. From the very beginning there has been a haze of crookedness about local housing plans. There has been much big talk. Underneath it all, however, there was revealed the glaring fact that the poor in our midst would find themselves in even worse plight than formerly. Hitherto, many have had shacks. In the future, they will be driven to the open air and to the gulleys. That is all improved housing will amount to for those who, thru no fault of their own, are without funds or jobs. If this is to be the extent of the new housing, rest assured that we shall be in the position of having sown to the wind, and shall ultimately reap the whirlwind.
APPOINT DANIELS!
When President Roosevelt visited the Virgin Islands, recently, natives petitioned him to remove Gov. Pearson (white) who evidently is very unpopular. Commenting upon this, the Philadelphia Tribune says: "We believe that Victor H. Dantels, who is a native Virgin Islander, is pre-eminently qualified to serve as Governor of the Virgin Islands. He has lived in the United States for twenty-seven years and worked at Tuskegee, Ala. Institute, Western University, Bordentown and Cardinal Gibbons Institute."
We heartily agree with our highly esteemed confrence, the editor of The Tribune. Mr. Daniels is just the man for the place. A native Virgin Islander of exceptional executive ability and experience, who has lived long in this country, and a man of splendid character and standing, he is just the man for the place. Mr. Daniels would undoubtedly fill the position to the entire satisfaction of this government and his people of the Virgin Islands. President Roosevelt should appoint Victor H. Daniels governor of the Virgin Islands.

A few years later Besse followed in her sister's footsteps and became a relief operator. Grace was Besse's "boss" on her first job and since then the two sisters have worked together continuously in the same exchange. Besse has remained in the operating side of the business throughout her career, and probably no one knows more about the exciting events that have happened in London during the past 30 years. At her switchboard she has been constantly at the crossroads of the community's daily activities, connecting scores of emergency calls from frantic subscribers as well as thousands of routine business and social calls. Grace left the operating department in 1929 to become assistant commercial manager of the exchange, a position rarely held by a woman. She is now service representative for the company. The sisters usually plan their vacations together.
VITAMIN ISOLATED ON LARGER SCALE
Phone Scientist Succeeds in Capturing Elusive Rice
Ingredient
A new method of extracting Vitamin B in commercial quantities, which physicians hope will be of great assistance in overcoming malnutrition and other human disorders, has been discovered by Robert B. Williams, director of chemical research of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, after 20 years of experimentation.
While working in government chemical laboratories in the Philippines, Williams helped to secure evidence that some unknown chemical, present in infinitesimal quantities in rice bran, cured beri-beri, a disease common among people who live on polished rice.
**Given in Tiny Doses**
Williams returned to the United States to work in the telephone laboratories, but his interest in the elusive rice ingredient did not wane. Only within the last few months, however, has his constant study of the vitamin proved fruitful.
From a ton of rice polishings, Williams is now able to extract five grams of Vitamin B. Although this vitamin has been isolated on a laboratory scale before, Williams' process is the first method suited for commercial purposes. So powerful is this crystallized vitamin in preventing or curing berberi and related nervous conditions either in man or animals that the necessary doses are measured in micrograms, one microgram being about one thirty-millionth of an ounce.

Unloading on the ice some of the 700 bales of hay for our three cows and baby bull.
Experienced in Governmental Affairs
LITTLE. AMERICA. ANTARCTICA. TICA, July 17 (via Mackay Radio): Today I took on a new job just temporarily—melting snow on water for the cows. They drink 12 gallons of water a day and that means we have to melt several doz en pails of loose snow every 24 hours. With our little stove this is not easy. But, then, none of our work down here is easy so it is all part of the game.
Our three cows and Antarctic iceberg, our baby bull, are thriving on a mixed diet of alfafa, timothy and clover hay and a commercial grain mixture.
We have almost more milk than we know to do with but we appreciate its benefits to our health and there is nobody here on the ice who dislikes it. Our cows are producing milk as follows: — Kondike Nira 30 pounds per day (meaning almost 15 quarts), Deerroot 31 pounds daily and Foremost Southern Girl 33 pounds. And that is considerable milk for 56 men!
The climate here, with temperatures frequently from 50 to 60 degrees below zero, apparently has no effect on our cattle. The body heat of the cows and the bull keeps their undersnow barn reasonably warm even during the coldest days and nights. In their barn, however, we have a stove so that fresh air can be drawn in and passed over it to pre-heat it, so the air in the barn will always be fresh.
The baby bull, now weighs about 375 pounds and has all the points of a very good animal. I go in and
play with him occasionally but I am regarding the advice we got by radio through expert dairymen at home through the club secretary to be very careful in a of a sudden change of temperament. Young leeberg enjoys attention and seems to take an interest everything and everybody. Edgar Cox, whom we have changed from a carpenter to a cow-hand, says the boys are teaching him bad habits and that he will be hard to handle when he grows up. The dogs seem to like the cow barn, probably on account of the heat, and are extremely friendly toward the cows. Every time a dog gets loose in the tunnels we know where to find him—in the barn. There is a strong possibility that we shall run out of canned butter, of which we brought a large supply with us. We should worry. We have a churn and fresh butter should taste pretty good to us.
I am glad to learn, by radio, that the club is still going ahead in splendid fashion with new members coming in every day. Remember, membership in this unique organization is free and every member receives, without charge, a membership card and a big working map of the Antarctic regions. All you have to do to join is to write to me at our American headquarters and enclose a clearly self-addressed, stamped envelope. Address Arthur Abel, Jr., President, Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, and our club staff will do the rest.

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 more anti-lynching laws at least one year later and other northern states at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
Section
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynchings.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.

Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "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 in person manently 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 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 a such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 179)
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 private judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present in the scene of the 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 to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, hotel, or 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 on which it must use as a defense they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called bashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

HOW TO STOP LYNCHING!
Proud southernners do not want a federal anti-lynching law. They believe it will reflect unfavorably upon the South. The Record, Columbia, S. C., says editorially: "It (federal anti-lynching law) will come unless the states themselves (enact anti-lynching laws, like Ohio's) and demonstrate their ability and willingness to deal with lynchers as all murderers should be dealt with." That is the only convincing argument to prevent anti-lynching legislation. If the South is as proud as it is said to be, it will carry out the

President Barack Obama, Secretary
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
NEW national playground and
game refuge comes into being
with the passage by congress
of an act setting aside an
area of 2,000 square miles of the Florida Everglades as the Everglades National park.
This romantic region is a retreat for many nearly extinct birds and a wide variety of animal life found nowhere else in America. Such creatures as the giant ibis, the Everglades kite, the white heron, the alligator, crocodile and manatee all are found there, yet they are being slowly externalized.
Likewise in this amazing region there now exists a plant life of wolf and superbly beautiful palms, orchids, bromeliads and fascinating climbing lianas. But, like the bird and animal life, these colorful glades and hummocks have been threatened with destruction from fires, often left by careless hunters and others. Now the protecting hand of the government is to be raised in time to save them.
Set apart, preserved, and made accessible as a national park, this area will be visited in time by millions—millions eager for subtropical adventure, but adventure under American skies, amid American customs, and the comforts and excellent direction extended to all by the governmental supervision of the national park service of the Department of Interior. The leading citizens of Florida and many residents of other states urged this important and needed project, which of course is for all the people of the nation. Florida's map resembles no other state's. In all America there is no terrain so unusual, yet often so uniformly monotonous, as one sees enroute from Pensacola to Key West. From Jacksonville a small boat may cruise all the way down to the last big key, and even far out to the reefs on the way to Havana, broadly speaking, in sheltered waters.
Shore lines of keys and islands alone measure about 1,000 miles. Certainly, nature gave the map-makers a real job when she designed Florida. Today's map, evolved through generations of pucker-browed cartographers, differs much from one issued in France as late as 1750, showing high mountain peaks in the Everglades!
Exotic Plants Flourish.
Laved by the sun-warmed, mysterious waters that swirl ceaselessly about it, and sweetened by the soft, pure trade winds that breathe life upon it, Florida is like a giant hothouse. It forms to the imaginative eye a big experimental farm for all America. From 51 foreign lands plants and trees strange to us have been brought here to take up a new home and many are already adapted to our use.
From Surinam to Singapore Uncle Sam's explorers have searched the nooks and crannies of the tropical world. As men in Bible times went forth in quest of camphor, incense and myrrh, so these dauntless botanists have hunted, found and brought to Florida various exotic plants and trees whose fruits we may use as food or medicine. At the home of one famous American botanist in Coconut Grove Dr. David Fairchild was served a vegetable lunch all picked from plants with odd names utterly unknown here two decades ago.
Here is the jackfruit of Ceylon; and the macadamia, a fine table nut from Australia; the chayote vine from the mountains of Guatemala, which bears the favorite vegetable of the Indians of that land; here is Livingstone's garcinia, a delicate maroon-colored fruit discovered in East Africa by the great missionary; here is the capote, or chewing-gum tree, from Yucatan, and the lylee, or favorite fruit of South China; here, also, are, of course, mangoes, papayas and avocados, and the chaya of Central America whose young shoots are as delicate as spinach.
In pioneering vegetable gardens one sees the popular taro and yautias, reminiscent of hillside taro patches in Hawaii; the manihot, chief food to millions of tropical peoples, who eat it as we do potatoes; great bushes of "pigeon peas" from the West Indies—the pea which, when ripe, forms an ingredient in that famous Bahama Islands dish. "hopin" John.
Besides these, there is the famed m'chopo or Zulu fig (Flucus utilis), from whose bark Congo women make their dresses; the candiendu-tree from Polynesia and the lobbek tree from the avenue planted by the khedive in honor of the Empress Eugénie when she visited Egypt.
Here, also, is the Limono ponderoso, or giant lemon. One sees it thriving near Miami, but not as yet on a commercial basis. It is literally too big. A woman who had some growing in her garden told a visitor she "made
14 glasses of lemonade and three pies out of one lemon," and her statement, after seeing the size of the fruit, is not to be doubted. For the Convenience of Bugs.
For the Convenience of Bugs.
Another strange plant is the Monstera deliciosa. It grows a queer, cucumber-shaped fruit. An interesting characteristic of this plant is the big holes in its leaves, like a lace pattern. One wilt suggested that nature provided these holes so that bugs may pass from one side of the leaf to the other at their convenience. The big fruit has a spicy flavor suggestive of apples and bananas.
In his haste to clear land for the sites where new homes and towns now stand in south Florida, man of necessity destroyed much of the original growth of cabbage palms and the dense hummock jungles, with their many trees, strangler figs, and undergrowth of ferns. But for the botanists bringing in beautiful flowers, trees and shrubs from all over the tropical world, and the richness of the muck soil, these newly settled regions of Florida would be unsightly in their bare uginess.
Instead, now painted against a background of green grasses many of which are also imported, and now against backgrounds of stucco houses and garden walls, one beholds the riotous brilliance of many hued bougainvillea, named for a great French admiral; the Saharan oleander, the gorgeous flowering cassias from Siam, the flame tree of the Caribbean, the red-flowered hibiscus, the poinsettia, and a host of others. Here, too, is the sacred bo tree from India, the remarkable psychotria from the Comoro islands, which carries bacterial nodules in its leaves instead of its roots.
From such exotic immigrants of the vegetable world many small plant oases are forming in Florida. About them there also gather many kinds of tropical insect pests, and tiny animals that feed on the plants. So here, to care for these imported plants and trees as well as the vegetable gardens and citrus orchards of Florida, an intensive science of tropical entomology is being fostered. This work against citrus canker and other pests is of measureless value to the whole nation.
Follow the equator around the world, and in many cities near it one may see botanical gardens, maintained as show places only. But there is no other region even approaching south Florida in size where tropical and subtropical plant life is cultivated on so vast a scale, with strict quarantine and funds for fighting parasites, experimenting with new varieties, and raising their culture to a commercial scale.
Besides the culture of new plants, there are costly private ventures in animal husbandry, reforestation, intensive farming, and group efforts at more efficient pickling, packing and marketing methods. From that admirable institution, the Florida department of agriculture, at Tallahassee, there issues a steady stream of bulletins and periodicals on what and when to plant, to raise it and sell it at a profit—and, just think, alleged humorists used to call native Floridians "crackers."
Tung Oil Industry Growing.
For decades we have used "wood oil," brought from China and other foreign countries for use in our paint and varnish industry. In China, besides its use in soap-making and for waterproofing, settlings of the burned oil make the "India ink" of commerce. Is it surprising to know that we import the oil from the tung nut to the tune of $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 annually?
Now, as one approaches Galenville and in the neighborhood of Green Cove Springs, Florida, long rows of tung or wood-oil trees may be seen flourishing here as in a similar latitude in China. They grow in the most unlikely looking ground and their oily proxicity repels insect' life.
Some years ago American consuls in China, co-operating with our Department of Agriculture, introduced the seeds of this tree. True, this industry is only in its infancy. Yet it affords another example of Florida's value to the nation as an experimental plant laboratory that will one day not far distant stand out in the development of home industry.
Among exotic fruits that have found a foothold here is the avocado, often called "alligator pear." In old days South Sea sailors called it "midshipmen's butter."
Years ago this fruit was first brought to Florida from Mexico. Since then other selected varieties have been imported. Tons of this healthy, valuable table delicacy are now shipped to northern and midwest markets from the Peninsular state.

TAILORED DRESSES FOR STREET WEAR
They Are Smart Looking and Comfortable.
It's smart to be comfortable this year—and thus the popularity of net for hot weather days and nights.
The dark net daytime dress has established itself as a summer classic, maybe because it's cool and practical, maybe because it doesn't crush and wilt, more probably because it's becoming, slim and new.
They're showing tailored net dresses for street wear in black, brown and navy, cut on shirtmaker lines, with tailored collar, shirt waist top, belted waistline and slim, kick-planted skirt.
And as a solution for commuters and people who have to do a lot of dashing about through sizzling city streets, it's perfect.
Sometimes there's a touch of crisp white organdie at neck and sleeve, sometimes the waist buttons down the front with little smoked pearl or the new pastel pearl links.
BUTTON VOGUE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
A conspicuous use of buttons is noted in connection with the newer fashions. The suit pictured shows how buttons and real worked buttonholes are employed for the fastening of both jacket and skirt. A fact that impresses in the first fall showings is that many skirts and bodices are buttoned up the back in ways which are unique and spectacular. However, for this conservatively tailored model in the picture, a restrained use of buttons is in perfect keeping. Being made of a heavy yet soft uncrushable Irish linen, this jacket suit is ideal for mid-season or early fall wear. The single-breasted coat has three peach pockets and answers to all the traditions of perfect tailoring. It comes in either brown or blue check linen for the jacket with a solid-color linen for the skirt in matching tone.
Keep Belt of Self-Fabric
Unless Waist Is Small
Are you being clannish and loyal to plaids this season or have you won your stripes and are proudly sporting them? If plaids do unpleasant things to the figure you might care to compromise by wearing the outline variety which in some versions are called Tattersols or Tattersalls. They are among the horsy things now in the running. These make stunning blouses and equally striking skirts. Keep the idea firmly fixed in your mind that you're not being matched up this season, but are out for some unexpected team work.
There is a sort of unwritten law that the belt should not be related excepting spiritually with the costume, but unless you have a waistline that will stand emphasizing you had better forget all about this.

WASHABLE SATIN IS IDEAL FOR SPORTS
Cool Looking and Come in Luscious Colors.
There is something about these new washable satin sports frocks that is taking the fashion world by storm. Maybe it's because they're so slick and cool looking and come in such luscious ice cream soda colors. At any time they're blossoming out in tailored shirt waist styles and pastel tints adding a new fillip to the summer scene. They do say they wash and iron like so many handkerchiefs, and they have a slick sophistication about them that is most comforting to the debs-about-town. They're shown also in two-piece styles—a slim skirt with a couple of kick pleats, and a belted blouse that buttons up the front, and probably has a couple of patch pockets for good measure. The sports satins also are being shown in candy-stripes, which are about the smartest things for wear either in town or country.
VELVET BERETS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Do it now! Buy a black velvet beret to wear with your midsummer frock. It's a very latest fashion gesture, this of topping your sheerest of dainty summer gowns with a dashing black velvet beret. The new beret models are beguiling in their picturesque lines. What's more they are entirely different from the beretes of previous seasons. Either they are big, floppy, dashing affairs or they assume amusingly eccentric lines that have lots of style about them. The proper thing is to tip these modern velvet fantasies over one eye even unto a perilous angle. If you take delight in the unique and extreme, the beret with peaked crown a la Chinolina, will be sure to strike your fancy. The sketch at the top tells its own story. The picturesque pancake berets are also good style. Some are squared off like the model sketched below in this sketch. Note the pose of the quill. The placement of feather novelties on the new berets does much, so milliners will explain to you, to accent the tilted lines of the hat.
Velvet Used on Big Hats
Late Paris Development
One of the interesting developments in millinery shown by French creators is the use of velvet. This in many instances reflects the influences of the prewar years which is so strong at this time. Molyneux uses velvet ribbon to finish a crown, make a bandeau and a large bow on a yellow mat tarfeta hat.
Large straight cartwheel sailors faced with black velvet on the brim top and in some instances, underneath. Velvet is also cited as evidenced in the Descat and Maria Guy collection, these houses presenting velvet berets in green, red and blue. Mme. Suzy introduces velvet crowns in black or brown with contrasting straw brims.
Organdie is cited in a Molyneux breton in pastel shades to match summer dresses.

THE MUSIC BOX
CHORINES are supposed to be lazy bones when it comes to closing windows on cold mornings, turning on the heat. Charlene Tucker, late of Broadway's Vanities and Follies, is no exception. Here she is in the lazy girl's boudoir of the Frigidaire air conditioned house at A Century of Progress. The buttons on the bed table control the Frigidaire air conditioner that supplies heat or cold; open or close the sliding doors; open or close the windows; and—believe or not—raise or lower the bed to more comfy positions.
