Brown-For-Governor mass meeting was held, Monday evening, in Rumanian Hall, which was packed to the doors with a very enthusiastic audience of members of both races, about equally divided. At the special request of the former lieutenant governor and secretary of state (Mr. Brown), the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, was the speaker of the evening. Mr. C. J. Bookwalter, a leading citizen of Warren and Republican leader, characterized the meeting as being the most enthusiastic held in that hall in years. The "Mortar" of Warren was been addressed by Councilman Roy Bundy of Cleveland, failed to materialize. Splendid music for the Rumanian Hall meeting was furnished by a local jazz band, composed of young men of the race. While here, the editor was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. John S. Tanner of S. Park Ave. Mrs. Tanner is one of our local Republican leaders. WILBERFORCE—Prof. Chas. S. Smith, who is in Denver visiting his daughter, Mrs. Russell S. Brown, and family, will not head the business bureau of the state department on his return to Wilberforce, Sept. 11, a position he occupied for many years. Mr. Smith is now "Placement Bureau and Secretary of the Alumni Association" of the University, a new position created by the board several years ago. Res. Re. S. Brown, a former trustee of the state department, and pastor of Mt. Zion Cong church, Cleveland, O. is pastor of a large A. M. E. congregation in Denver, Colo., which has a beautiful church.

A ON WHAT'S DOING Barry's defeat is a stinging blow to law and order in this city. Fine leadership our people have in the City Council, powerless even to stop "intimidations in the public swimming pools of the city." Such leadership should "be destroyed." It will be interesting to watch and see what happens on election day in November to the Finkle-Payne-Bundy-Hubbard candidate (Twelvetree) for sheriff. Their support of former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan for the Republican nomination for governor availed nothing. Both Councilmen Payne and Bundy are on important committees of the City Council. What good are they to our people in this community? We would be far better without such "leadership." They're a "pain and a headache" to loyal, self and race-respecting members of the race in this community. Those "brothers of color", who are "booting" Maurice Mashke now but who sought and got his political assistance in the past, should remember that no man is "dead in politics" who refuses to "stay dead." He will hardly forget Bundy's calling him a "lar" and threatening to run him out of the 17th Ward if he came out there to speak, and your "booting." Ingratitude, you know, has been designated as the greatest crime in the calendar. The "chickens may come home to roost" for you, too, in the future just as they did in the case of Dan Morgan. Tuesday. It has at last become clear to the thinking, loyal, and race-respecting Afro-Americans of this city that they have got to get rid of Councilmen Payne and Bundy, particularly, whose most reprehensible conduct in the Barry-Twelvetree contest, which closed, Tuesday, is both disgusting and dishartening. Their circulation of Barry petitions for signatures and notorious "hop" to the support of the Twelvetree candidacy is but a parallel of "The Blossom Triplet" act when Daniel Morgan was city manager. Our readers will recall that the Blossom Triplet Councilmen Payne, Bundy and former Councilman George; "The Twelvetree Triro" Payne, Bundy and Councilman Hubbard, aided and abetted by Councilman Herman Finkle of the 12th Ward undoubtedly thru fear of Bundy-Payne oppositin when he again stands for re-election to Cleveland's legislative body. If it is a fact that the manager of the Haltnorth theater is "waging a bitter fight" against several other theaters in that vicinity because they give employment to our men and women, it is high time that an organization was affected to notify our people to stay out of that theater and any others working with it for the alleged purpose stated. As a matter of fact, it is time such an organization as suggested was placing signs on which "We Employ Colored Help" is printed in all the stores, theaters and other places of business that hire our people, in the third and fourth councilmanic districts, particularly. Then the demand should be made that our people refuse to patronize any and all places of business in the theater, and who should do not employ our people and have not such signs posted conspicuously. This is a matter that The N. A. A. C. P. local branch and The League of Struggle should lead in, starting immediately and commencing with the Haltnorth theater. All places of business, entertainment, etc., in the third and fourth councilmanic districts receive the bulk of their support from our people and should give something in return for it. --- --- --- OUR FIFTY-SECOND YEAR. (EDITORIAL) With this issue, The Gazette enters upon its fifty-second year of continuous publication, every week on time. This paper made its first appearance in August, 1883, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for its publication have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important to the race, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, especially to the loyalty of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence action or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor, that lead to greater and better progress, is a matter of general knowledge thrust into the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, with its all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past fifty-one years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, especially at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C. Smith, Editor and Owner. GERMAN BAPTISTS Decounce Racial Attacks, Especially Those on Jews and "Colored People." Berlin, Germany—Blows at state interference with religion and unfair racial discrimination were the final acts of the Baptist world congress, closing its convention, last week, in Germany. "This congress deplores and condemns as a violation of the law of God, our Heavenly Father," said one resolution, "all racial animosity in every form, oppression, unfair discrimination toward Jews, the colored people or subject races in any part of the world." Another resolution asserted "any interference in the freedom of the church is an intrusion between God and his people." THE NEXT GOVERNOR AND HIS FAMILY. FAMILY Clarence J. Brown, Republican candidate for Governor, and his family. Standing are Betty Jean, age 16, Dorothy, age 14, and Mrs. Brown. Seated with his father is Clarence J. Brown, Jr., better known as Buddy, age 7. FREE HAITI. Today the American marines are leaving Haiti. Thus ends 19 years of imperialistic folly. And happily, the same Franklin Roosevelt who, as assistant secretary of the navy, had a hand in the original blunder, now, as President, has almost wiped the slate clean. Herbert Hoover, also, deserves no little credit for starting this process of liberation. We have learned from this military adventure that imperialism does not exist. We have no doubt of it except that expensive lesson. For it was expensive. It cost us the distrust of all Latin America, creating emmity among our neighbors and raising barriers in the lands which should be our best commercial customers. Of course, we tried to salve our consciences with guff about the white man's burden, about the fine military roads we built, the law and order we enforced. But the ugly fact remained that we, with all our talk about democracy and freedom at home, had gone to a free foreign republic and, as a bully, forced our children to vote. We voked naval necessity and the protection of American banking interests, but we could not change the simple truth that we were acting on the jungle law that might make right. "If my joy is great, it is not complete," says President Vincent of Haiti, "and it will not be until to our political-liberation is added our financial liberation." The dispute over the bonds and the national bank and the continuance of American financial officers is under discussion, our imperialism. For the sake of America, no less than Haiti, we should speed Haiti's fiscal freedom.—Cleveland Daily Press. SHRINERS HERE, NEXT WEEK! Leland D. French, Chairman of the Arrangements Committee, Announces the Events for Their Annual Convention. Schedule of events for the 34th annual convention of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America, and Jurisdiction, has been announced by Leland D. French, chairman of the arrangements committee. They will convene here from Aug. 19 to 22 headquarters in old Philadelphia, and Jurisdiction. The Imperial Grand Court Daughters Isis will convene at the same time. A flag raising ceremony will officially open the convention at 3 p. m. tomorrow. Memorial services will be conducted, in the evening, at Mt. Zion Cong. church. Mayor Harry L. Davis will welcome the delegates at the public reception, Monday night, at the church, to be followed by a Mardi gras parade at 11:30 p. m. Assistant Police Prosecutor Perry B. Jackson will be chief marshall of the street parade, Tuesday evening, to be joined by the grand ball at headquarters. Business sessions will be held Monday and Tuesday morning and afternoon. Officers of the arrangements committee in addition to General Chairman French are Ira B. John, recorder, and Lewis H. Gray treasurer. FROM A LONG-TIME FRIEND. Cincinnati, O., Aug. 14, 1934. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor "The Old Reliable" Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Friend Harry:—Another year has passed and it is time to renew my subscription; something I always do on my birthday anniversary. Having been sick for over a year, I was wondering where I was going to go. I was going to ever, came to my rescue, giving it to me as one of my birthday presents and I appreciated it so very much. My health is some better. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately escaped the WISEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. LE COPY FIVE CENTS NOR AND HIS FAMILY. publican candidate for Governor, and tty Jean, age 16, Dorothy, age 14, his father is Clarence J. Brown, Jr., TUESDAY'S PRIMARY. The defeat of Edwin D. Barry for the Republican nomination for sheriff is keenly regretted by all law-abiding citizens of the community. The nomination of Clarence J. Brown as the Republican candidate for governor was expected generally and is very pleasing. The nomination of Judge Frank W. Geiger of Springfield as a Republican candidate for the state supreme court is unfortunate for the reason repeatedly stated in the Gazette in recent weeks. Judge Geiger was expected several years ago, in the Springfield school fight, cannot be forgotten, and he should be defeated by our people of Ohio on election day in November. They should have prevented his nomination, Tuesday. The re-nomination of Thomas C. Cook, candidate for county clerk, and Representative Chester K. Gillespie, who led the candidates for the House, was earned by them with good work and of course is very pleasing. The re-nomination of Atty. David Copiandr as a Republican candidate for the House, was earned by them thoroughly deserved, and will add strength to the Republican ticket this fall. The "chickens came home to roost" for former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan, one of the two local candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. We warned Mr. Morgan, several years ago, when he appointed color-line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom over the united protest of loyal self and race-respecting American Americans of the country. There are many of other successful Republican candidates, particularly that of Harold T. Gassaway, whose nomination is very pleasing to the Gazette, as is the renomination of two outstanding independent Democratic candidates, Congressman Martin L. Sweehey and County Treasurer John J. Boyle. OF COURSE WE'LL PAY. That blunt old Virginian, Carter Glass, talked turkey to fellow Democrats in his home town of Lynchburg on Saturday. The town has taken a PWA contribution, altho its credit was high. "These grants seem to be gifts," said Senator Glass, "but well pay them all. We in Virginia will pay ours and we'll help pay for four years. We'll do together do not pay as much Federal as Virginia." Of course we'll pay for every bushel of grain and bale of cotton destroyed under the New Deal; for every pig slaughtered by bureaucracy; for every farm and home defaulted to the government; for every needless bridge and road and public building which the borrower cannot support. If the president does not borrow capital borrowed in the name of Recovery, at least it will have to pay the interest on it. The pay-day, as Senator Glass candidly said, will not be pleasant.—New York Sun. PERSONAL Denver, Col.—The following persons from Cleveland were in Denver, week before last: Mr. and Mrs. Morris Fox, Miss Clara Anderson, Miss Dolly Rice and Mrs. Helen Dean Seay. The latter is a teacher of piano and theory. Arrived, last week: Mrs. Julia Thomas and daughter, Miss Julia. Mrs. Thomas is matron of the teachers' home at Wilberforce, and is Dr. J. A. Owens' and the Hon. theater Gillepie's mother law. Both Clevelanders. Last week the Republicans of Colorado held their convention at Colorado Springs and placed on their ticket for the state legislature, Atty. Thomas Campbell who has practiced law here for years. Nazi Sterilize 761 Hamburg, Germany.—The Nazi plan of sterilizing Jews, and those they consider physically unfit, is in full swing. From June 15 to date, 761 persons, 339 women and 265 men, have been sterilized, by order of the Hamburg Court. Duke Ellington and his band are to receive $3,000 for two days' work.

If the army of politicians were of any use to the race, our people would have been in clover a long time ago. The local N. A. A. C. P., for example, has always been full of office-seekers and office-holders, who smile benignly, pay their dues, and offer plentiful words of advice. Our clubs and lodges are repeatedly visited by such "friends," who make a fuss over their lack of prejudice and do nothing to smash the entrenched forces of discrimination. Our advice to local politicians is that they become aware of the fact that the Afro-American voter is slowly but surely changing. He is getting tired of plain and fancy lies and wants constructive action in their stead. And he wants it twelve months out of the year. NEED PHYSICIANS. In Mississippi, according to the 1930 U. S. Census, there were only 69 of our physicians to serve 1,009,718 of our people, while there were 1,438 white physicians for a population of 996,856 whites. In Alabama there were but 114 of our physicians for 994,834 Afro-Americans, and 2,459 white physicians for 1,007,775 whites. In Georgia there were 190 Afro-American physicians to serve 1,071,125 of our people, while the white population of 1,836,974 had 2,606 white physicians. In these and many other southern states there are centers in which there is no physician at all, white or colored, within a radius of 20 miles or more. TRY THIS! We would like to see a group of young white and our Cleveland arrange a bathing party at Woodland Hills pool, notify the police in advance when they are going, and demand the full protection of the law. We would like to see them do the same with the dance hall at Euclid Beach Park. We would suggest they notify in advance, Miss Pearl Mitchell, president of the Cleveland branch, N. A. A. C. P., and Mr. Walter Dicks, organizer of the League of Struggle for "Negro" Rights. In addition we should like them to inform our Ministerial Alliance, and Wm. R. Conner's interracial organization, The Urban League, which includes some prominent names. These young people should also get in touch with the American Civil Liberties Union, 100 Fifth Ave., New York, and ask to be put in touch with their Cleveland representatives. Then, properly organized, let them tackle one public place after another where discrimination is the rule. It is our guess that before a determined onslaught, seventy-five per cent of our local discrimination will melt. NEW POLICE. Cleveland's safety department has just sworn in an additional small army of policemen. We frankly doubt if the addition is in the interest of the general public, but we shall not argue that point here. The Gazette calls upon Chief of Police Matowitz and Safety Director Lavelle to instruct these new police officers in a few fundamentals of American law. They should be told that whites and blacks must be treated with absolute equality. They should be informed, in no uncertain terms, that a man's home is his castle. When law-abiding, he should be safe from molestation. These officers should be told that black men are entitled by law to enter all public buildings, public restaurants, and public parks, and they are entitled to equal treatment in such places. These new bluecoats should be informed that it is their duty to stop incipient riots and not to encourage them by fraternizing with rowdies and bums. It is no use mincing words: Cleveland's police department, just as every other police system in America, contains some men in uniform who properly belong behind the bars. There are bluecoats Alternate Telephone Routes Speed Calls Between Cities When Storms Damage Lines steeped in race hatred; there are professional clubbers and sadists, and they should be weeded out at the earliest opportunity. Our new officers must be informed now that poor men and women, whether white or colored, have equal rights before the law. Afro-Americans in Cleveland read newspapers. They understand only too well how respectfully felonious bankers are treated by our courts, and the lesson is not being lost on them. If democracy is to survive, our Americans must be given ALL of its benefits. POLITICAL BUNCOMBE. Afro-Americans in Cleveland who take their politics seriously probably listen to more nonsense and buncombe during election campaigns than any other element in the community. When a candidate for public office tells members of the race that they possess more political intelligence than any other class of people in the entire Greater Cleveland area, as one politician expressed himself recently, he is talking arrant nonsense designed solely to win the favor of fools. We are sick and tired of such rot. Because our people hold a strong balance of power in Cleveland elections, the section in which most of them live is literally infested with office-seekers from primary time until election. These politicians will promise anything to get votes, say anything, and then do absolutely nothing to improve the status of those of the race in this community. Yet, some of our people will continue to swallow the cheapest sort of fattery from these ambitious vote-getters. It is high time that the tables were turned on those gentlemen and ladies anxious to use our votes in order to get to the public feeding-trough. Let us ask them what they have done to elevate the level of our people, not what they will do. Nine out of ten will do nothing, and this we can take for granted. Let us ask these windy, empty-headed fakers if they have ever interested themselves in such vital issues as adequate relief, in police brutality, in decent housing and in adequate schooling for children of the race. How many have bothered themselves over discrimination at local pools and playgrounds? Ask seekers after office some vital questions which concerns you and your family personally. Tell them to save their empty pledges and pass them out on paper to infants in arms. A STRAIGHT line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is not always the fastest—particularly in the telephone business. When an Ohio subscriber telephones a distant city, his voice may travel to its destination over one of many alternate routes, which are sometimes circuitous when conditions warrant it. It is the popular belief that there is only one set of telephone lines between two cities, over which calls between those two particular points always are transmitted. This was true in the early days of telephony, but today a vast network spreads over the country, providing many different voice ways to any city, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Long Detours Possible For example, should a storm disrupt service on all lines in central Ohio, a call could be routed from Cleveland to Cincinnati via Denver and Chicago, if necessary, and connections would be so rapid and the speed of the voices over the wires so great that the conversing parties would not be conscious of the tremendous distance over which they were talking. The call would seem like any other long distance conversation in speed and clarity. Such long detours are not often necessary. However, there is constant rerouting of calls due to small storms, cable breaks and other damage to telephone plant, the telephone men say. Phone Bells Tell Of Wedding Bells There seems to be no end to the ingenuity in announcing engagements. The latest wrinkle, used by Miss Pauline Kennedy of Akron, relied upon the telephone for its element of surprise. She had her fiance, George C. Neal, announce the forthcoming nuptials to her guests in Akron via long distance from Columbus, his home. _____ "VICTORY 1934" FAIR'S NUMBER Nothing at this year's edition of the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago is more up-to-date and in the spirit of the fair than the official telephone number—Victory 1934. The telephone system at the fair includes 525 pay telephones for visitors and 1,000 telephones for exhibitors and concessionaires, which is a slightly greater outlay of facilities than was used last year.

REPORTS HOLD-UP AS IT IS ENACTED REPORTS HOLD-UP AS IT IS ENACTED Circulation Man, in Fostoria, Telephones Exciting Foray To Editor in Toledo Newspaper men dream of reporting a hair-raising story of a hold-up while it is taking place, but seldom get the opportunity. H. R. Adler, however, who is a circulation man for the Toledo News-Bee and not a reporter, got the "break" that many news hawks have waited for all their lives when the First National Bank in Fostoria was robbed recently. Adler was near when the bandits fought their way out of the bank with machine guns. With the reporting instinct born in every newspaper employee, he collected a quick word picture of the foray from spectators and dashed to the nearest telephone. Hears Spectators' Shouts Hears Spectators' shouts On the other end of the line in Toledo was the managing editor, listening to Adler as he gave a rapid-fire description of the hold-up as it was being enacted. He heard of the kidnaping of two bank employees, of the machine gun battle with the police and of the scene in the street, with people diving for cover and bullets flying as the bandit automobile sped out of town. While the circulation man reeled off the exciting events after the fashion of a radio sports announcer, the managing editor also received background atmosphere of the escapade. Adler was telephoning so close to the scene of action that shouts of excited spectators on the street could be heard distinctly in the Toledo editorial room. Fluent Conversation Swimmers at a San Francisco club are taking lessons by telephone. Through a waterproof receiver clamped on his head, each swimmer receives instructions from the coach while in the pool. Gets Pay in Pennies, Salesman Wants Bag Theodore F. Roemer, salesman for The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, believes he has found the most frugal man in Fostoria, O. A subscriber, to whom he recently sold telephone service, made the initial payment all in pennies, 350 of them. Roemer is considering the addition of a haversack to his next selling expedition. To prevent delay in completion of long distance calls because of localized conditions, the Bell System has constructed many alternate lines between cities. Many Routes Through Ohio An example are the facilities for calls between Pittsburgh and St. Louis. The normal routing of the seven telephone circuits now in service between the two cities is in direct cables by way of Columbus and Indianapolis. An alternate cable route for these circuits is by way of Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago. Similarly alternate routes have been made available between most of the important points in the Bell System. Today there are four transcontinental routes widely separated so that a single storm has little chance of halting communication to the West Coast. Of the 93 direct telephone circuits between New York and Chicago, 65 are allocated to the main route by way of Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Toledo, 22 by way of Pittsburgh, Dayton and Terre Haute, and seven by way of Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo. Similar routes are arranged between all other important cities so that when a direct route between any of these points fails because of storm damage or other causes the existence of an alternate route makes possible the quick setting up of emergency circuits. Such a system allows service to continue without waiting for repairs to be completed on the direct route.

One of our machines crossing dangerous crevasse on bridge of telephone poles. ITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTI- Crawling ahead on skilis S LITTLE AMERICA, ANIMAL ARC CA, July 30 (via Mackay Radio): Our tractor party is back—with Admiral Byrd! And what a trip it was! Dr. Poulter and four companions reached our cache of gasoline, oil and food 50 miles south of Little America but they had to travel 136 miles to get there and it was utterly impossible to go any further without the most extreme danger. So Dr. Poulter wisely decided to turn back in the midst of a terrific blizzard and start preparations for another tractor dash to Bolling Advance Base to bring our leader back to us. And it was my orange-red gasoline drums that allowed them to find the 50 mile base at all, the trail flags having been obliterated. In February, Lieut. Commander Noville, my boss, requested me to load on a sledge two drums of Tydol gasoline, one case of Veedol motor oil and two tins of kerosene. These were to be cached at 50 Mile Base, known as Camp Amundsen. The depot was set up to provide fuel, food and equipment for the trail parties returning to Little America from the 450 mile tractor and dog team trips we intend to take to the Polar plateau. On the last day of March, Capt. Innes-Taylor returned from Boiling Advance Base and reported that our cache at Camp Amundsen was snowed over and was not visible. With this fact in mind we all considered it probable that unless the flag trail was well marked and visible the tractor party under Dr. Poulter would have great difficulty in locating the beacon at our cache Yesterday, after their return, I had a long chat with Skinner and Carl Petersen, of Merrick, L. L. N. Y. They said they were very keen about the successful and efficient functioning of the tractor and its fuel and lubricating oil. Their only trouble was caused by snow blowing into and plugging up the carburetor intake, necessitating removal of the carburetor to clean it. Some job at 71 degrees below zero! At approximately the location of the 50 Mile Base, they had to weave all over looking for the southern trail. Since this area abounds in wide, deep crevasses had to be traversed with extreme caution. At this point when approaching the supposed location the tractor was slowed down and all hands carefully scanned the area ahead in the light of our searchlight and the headlamps on the tractor. No trace of the beacon! No flaps! Additional Local Mrs. Mary Logan of Louisville is visiting her son, Dr. Charles Logan, and daughter, Mrs. Robert Skinner. Mesdames Lawrence Payne and Lethia Goggins recently visited Mrs. Stella Robinson and daughter in Akron. Miss Nell Hackney entertained, Thursday evening, in honor of her guest, Miss Laura Clayton of Philadelphia. Mrs. Fannie West, mother of Mrs. William B. Saunders, has just returned to Cincinnati after spending two weeks here. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Bigson of Chicago passed thru the city en route home after spending a week in Pittsburgh. They were guests of Mrs. Flora Bettis while here. Miss Bertha Patton and Miss Parmela Clark of Lorain are in the city as delegates to the Progressive Association. Miss Lella Bowen, also of that city, spent the week-end here. Crawling ahead on skis Skinner suddenly spied the heads of two of my orange gasoline drums. Thus the beacon was discovered! The winds had reduced the snow beacon to a tiny mound but the same winds had done us the great favor of uncovering the brilliant drums and allowed the party to find itself. Admiral Byrd's Hut Thus ended one of the most astonishing trips ever taken by man. With the flags buried it was not possible to go on, even by compass. While the crew was not able to reach Admiral Byrd, it established for all time the superiority and efficiency of tractor transportation for Antarctic work. I have asked the club secretary to show if possible some sort of a picture of Admiral Byrd's hut with this article so you can get an idea of the kind of house he is living in under the snow. This hut, designed by Victor Czekga, Expedition supply officer, is really an amazing edifice. Only 9 feet wide, 13 feet long and 7 feet high it is built of two thin folls of aluminum such as one sees on ordinary packages, called Metallation, discovered by Reynolds Metals Company, two thin layers of wood about as those in peach baskets, three to five layers of waterproof building paper and two half-inch layers of kapok. This thin but warm construction is held together by small pine posts, steel box straps, and a pine floor. A replica of the "house" built by Pope and Cottle is now on view, buried in ice, at the World's Fair in Chicago. In a very few weeks now the sun will return to us and we shall commence the most exciting automotive explorations in history. To keep in close touch with these enterprises you should join our club now, entirely without cost, and receive the free working map of Antarctica and membership card.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION 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 which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. When Teeth WOBBLE it may be too late for your dentist to save them as some of the tissue which holds teeth in their sockets will already have been destroyed.『Firm healthy gums that hug the teeth provide protection against infection and destruction of the underlying tooth supporting tissues. 『Get professional advice before trouble starts 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 6232. 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 person so lynched in accordance with the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damage 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 the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, may be tried and convicted by 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 contitutional negligence or the part of officials 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 house, hotel, restaurant 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 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 ours, we must use it as often as they should, but expect it to do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. CEDAR BRANCH © Y.M.C.

Net continues its prominence for evening fashions, with the black and white net frocks of earlier in the season joined by a colorful procession of formal nets in vivid hues. One of the most effective costumes seen at a recent fashionable dinner dance was of bright red net, with a ruching of white net around the square, deep decolletage, and around the frothy hem. The whole effect was as cool as a strawberry ice cream sundae. With it was worn a little fitted jacket of white net, with a multitude of petal-like layers in the form of shoulder ruffles, instead of sleeves. Bright green net was used in an equally effective dance frock, made simply, with a moderately low decolletage in front and no back. A wide sash of black cire satin adds a finishing touch. With this was worn a mandarin coat of black cire satin, lined in bright green satin, and the whole was striking and new. PLAID TAFFETA By CHERIE NICHOLAS Plaid taffeta of bemberg steps into the scene of active sports with bold design and vivid coloring. This charming and practical sports ensemble in gold and brown plaid will carry high style honors wherever it goes and, having an easy-to-slip-on and button skirt, it will tune to most an informal outdoor gathering. Durable and good looking, the taffeta weave which fashion this skirt-and-shorts costume has a soft texture, tubs beautifully and irons like magic. Plaids are in favor and so is taffeta. These lovely plaids are being shown in handbags, hats, blouses, daytime dresses and evening gowns. They are stunning and unique for dining and dancing. For youngsters' clothes these gay plaids which look so silky and fine and which wash so easily are especially advisable. Brightly Colored Gloves of Soft Suede in Favor A vogue for color marks a number of new soft suede gloves launched for formal afternoon wear. Orange, pale blue, mist gray, pale pink and light green appear in the designs which extend almost to the elbow. Rich brocaded satin topped by a port frill and long crinkled silk crepes finished with an elastic band to hold them up under five-eighths length sleeves are also shown for the afternoon hours. Such neutral tones as black, white and grege are more often used in the silk afternoon gloves, though bright colors are also seen in gaily flowered crepes intended for garden party and cocktail party wear. STYLE NOTES Bias cuts persist, since they assure a perfect fit. Back buttoning is a feature of the new fashions. Yellow accents with black is latest color formula. Elaborate novelty fur collars appear on advance coats. Decorative glittering capes enliven the evening scene. Choose dark cottons with white touches for immediate wear. The newest lace-laden nightgowns look almost like dalnty evening gowns. Tailored Line Becoming Popular for Evening Wear The tallored tail is becoming increasingly evident for informal evening wear. Dinner suits with short fitted jackets having mannish lapels and long narrow sleeves are favorites for theater, cinema and restaurant dining. An ankle-length skirt and blouse or a long frock (sleeveless or sleeved) is worn under that mannish jacket. Taffetas, heavy crepes and prints in sober tones accented by light touches are the fabrics most often chosen, though for country wear such combinations as a plaid taffeta jacket and a white linen skirt are seen. BLUE SERGE SEEN STAGING COMEBACK Will Figure Extensively in Fall Fashions. A stand-by of other days that will be seen extensively this fall is the same blue serge that used to fashion our sailor suits for school. It will be shown in tailored shirt-maker dresses, with flowered challis, still another gay nineties fabric, used as trimming. Two-piece sports frocks, in wool jerseys and angora tweeds, are distinctly in the fall fashion picture, often with both blouse and skirt buttoning up the back. Good old-fashioned calico, grandmother's kitchen apron stand-by, is at the top of the list just now as the last whisper in accessories for fall. Simply styled wooden sports dresses for fall sport, starched calico collars, cuffs and vestes, directed especially toward the back-to-school wardrobes, colorful, amusing and new, they have the added value of washing and ironing without losing their original crispness. COTTON CORDUROY By CHERIE NICHOLAS A A coat of cotton corduroy is a good investment, for it will be found exceedingly practical to wear when one feels the need of a wrap, which, while it reflects a not too autumn-like look, offers the protection which occasional cool days call for. In clear pastels or white these delightful informal coats of cotton corduroy may be acceptably worn over sports, afternoon or evening dresses. The white swagger corduroy coat pictured with its full bracelet-length sleeves tops a blue and white striped seersucker dress. The oxfordes worn with this good looking and practical outfit are of white kid and the white hat has a stitched brim. Famed Tricorne Hat Now And now the tricorne appears among the advance guard of hat styles for fall—a modification of the newly important big beret, but with the same crisp military air as the historic French soldier's jacket. The new tricornes are shown in felt or velvet, tilted forward in the approved current manner and sometimes tassel trimmed. An effective style in black felt has the edges of the tricorne stitched in silk cord and adds a finishing touch in a silk tassel attached at the center of the crown. Others are trimmed with small curls of ostrich or coq quills, and others still are innocent of ornament. FLASHES FROM PARIS Interest in pearl necklaces is revived. Paste birds adorn hats of high fashion. Metal-shot woolens are showing for fall. Rembrandt beret is the hat of the moment. Black and white maintains its style supremacy. New style importance is attached to long gloves. The call of the new autumn season is for luxury fabrics. Rough and Ready Is the Slogan of New Ensemble Practical sailors and girls who like to potter around the garden are hailing with joy the new beer suits as the ultimate in comfort for vacation roughing-it. They are lifted bodily from the time-honored college style, and their chief charm is their sloppiness. You buy them several sizes too large, so that they hang on you in the scarecrow manner, and the whole effect is the last word in rough-and-ready fashions. Lingerie Comes Back Worth revives lingerie touches in a charming fashion in a silver fox capet ledged with embroidered white muslin flouches which form a ruffly jabot at the front. throw A way to a Friend THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

DARING escapades on scorching sands of the Sahara Desert, equal in thrills to the adventure-packed tales of Beau Gaste, form the boyhood background of Frederick Lades, building employee of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in Columbus, O. Born in Rosenheim, Germany, Lades fled from his native country to escape compulsory military training. But instead, fate led him into the French Foreign Legion, a military organization which was then composed of what he terms "the worst collection of murderers, cutthroats, and thieves in the world." He was 18 when he enlisted in the legion. For six years he lived and fought with men who regarded human life as less precious than firearms and who wore brass knuckles and carried knives when they went out for an evening of entertainment. Popular Writings Lades served three years in Algiers and Morocco and three more in Indo-China. His adventures were myriad and his life was in the balance in many desperate experiences both in and out of battle. Although he has pursued the peaceful routine of earning a living in Columbus for over 23 years and has been an American citizen for more than 17 years, Lades likes to discuss the tu-bulent days of his youth. The American public has never gotten a true picture of life in the foreign legion through stories or motion pictures, he says. Contrary to the popular idea in this country that the legion defends lonely forts besieged for days by Arab bands, the fighting is of the "hit and run variety." "The marauders live by stealing, Shown above is an architectural detail of the reproduction of Tara Hall, meeting place of the ancient Irish kings. In the Irish village of Phone Users H Quick Remedy D ON FRY, rural repairman for The Ohio Bell Telephone Company at Middletown, O has a quick remedy for one trouble which some of his customers are reluctant to report. Whenever a subscriber reports hearing musical notes or bedtime stories over his telephone, Fry knows immediately where the difficulty lies. In the rural territory under his supervision a certain line condition that does not interfere with ordinary telephone transmission causes the line to y Your Co or an Acq and to steal on the desert means to kill, or be killed," Lades explains. "When I was in the service, most of the bandits in Africa carried old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns. If the first shot did not register, they had to fife because reloading took too long. They did not fight for their country, but for their lives. *Manliness All Important* "Another mistaken idea is that legion officers whip their men. In all my six years, I never saw an officer abuse a private. They didn't dare. The regular forms of punishment were severe enough without further antagonism. "A legionnaire found guilty of murder was sentenced to spend the rest of his life on Devil's Island, the horrible penal colony in French Guiana. For less serious crimes, the guilty were placed in solitary confinement on bread and water for days or forced to march in the blazing sun under heavy packs." Despite such harsh disciplinary measures, Lades says, there was no favoritism. The French legionnaires were treated the same as those of other nations. "If a legionnaire proved himself to be a man, nothing else mattered," Lades said in summing up the qualifications for the "legion of forgotten men." streets Fairgoers the new World's Fair in Chicago There are fifteen "foreign villages" in the Fair this year, making pos- sible a "world tour" in a day.

Fry has a ready solution for the problem, but some of his subscribers are rather disappointed when their telephones are restored to normal. After the trouble on her line was fixed, one patron called the telephone company to express regret because she had listened in on her telephone every morning to get the crop reports. Other subscribers said they enjoyed the irregularity in their telephone service. copy of The uaintance VISINEWS SEEING IS BILLIEVING LAST STOP IN MISSOURI GASARK 7X GAS TAX TOLL FREE INFORMATION GASOLINE GASOLINE GASOLINE TAX $565.85 ON THIS CAR GASOLINE SIGNS OF THE TIMES! — Sign on tank car shows how Alabama levied $565.85 tax on gasoline worth about $300!
