Then Had Him Beaten by Mob—The Way They Do It "Down Home" —An Outrage! New York City.—A pathetic letter from one of our thrifty farmers owning 35 acres of land near Mantee, Miss., whose wife has been taken from him by a farmer (white) backed up by a mob, has been received by Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. The writer for obvious reasons prefers to remain anonymous. His letter, in part, follows: "My name is ..... I lived in E. Chicago, Ind., until the past four years. I came to Mantee, Miss., the native home of my parents. After being there, two months, I married. My wife and I got along fine until about eight weeks ago when her guardian dissatisfaction and deceit in her mind. She was sixteen years of age when we were married, being only nineteen now. So she was young and ignorant of life. They eventually persuaded her to save her guardian and cooked for a man (white) in Mantee. He sent word that she was there with him and that he wanted me to leave the county so I wouldn't be around trying to persuade her from working for him. I couldn't afford to work all year and leave it without cause. Well, Saturday night, June 30, I went to my wife's uncle who was standing in the house talking to her, and 12 or more men (white), surrounded the house, sticking riffles and shotguns thru the windows, while four with pistols came to her. We talked about two miles from town. Eight of them took turns beating me with a 4-inch wide gin-belt doubled. When one got tired he'd sit down and each of the remainder would flog me. After keeping this up for hours, they carried me to the nearest place where freight-trains took. I was unconscious. They gave me orders to get out of the state and never return. By the help of two transients I got aboard a freight train bound south I got to a place called Louisville, Miss. There Railroad Commissioner Johnson and Constable Cal Cap勒son got me off the train. Seeing my condition (my clothes stuck to me) I got to a middle of my back), they felt sorry and carried me to the F. E. R. A. office. There they secured medical aid, got me some clean clothes, and got a place for me to stay until I was able to 'hobble' around." In his letter the man gives the name of the "man" who took his wife, the names of those who beat him, and the names of the groves" who witnessed the kidnapping.

For ten years, I have read The Gazette with a deal of interest and profit. You have said in its columns many helpful things to the members of our race and for the public at large. If each of your friends should write you a line each time that you say some fine things, your mail would be increased to enormous quantities in weight and it would be very burdensome to you for reading.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THE RECENT CAMPAIGN FOR CERTAIN CANDIDATES BACKED BY OUR MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND OTHERS. "The Twelvetree Trio" and "The Blossom Triplets" Disgust Self and Race-Respecting Members of the Race—New Political Deal Coming! HEAR! HEAR!! A ON WHAT'S DOING 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." Both Councilmier 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 off without such "leadership." They're "a pain and a headache" to loyal, self and race-respecting members of the race in this community. Another Bundy was "sat on," the first of the week when Mayor Davis put those five men back to work that Cliff had "fired" for political activity for Barry at the recent public meeting. Next the Mayor and his "Friday" (Payne) have it coming to them from our people of this community. We want new and REAL local leadership and certainly not the kind (rotten) we received in the recent campaign from the "Twelvetree Trio," Payne, Bundy and Hubbard. At last! At last!! Mayor Harry L. Davis is "stepping on the gas." Keep up the good work, Mr. Mayor! Your real friends and supporters have been waiting long and patiently for the political demonstration of the past ten days. We went to press too early, this week, to be able to give our readers the result of Thursday evening's meeting of committeemen. But The Rounder will of course have something to say about it, next week, that you will surely want to know. For many weeks, The Gazette told "The Twelvewatches Trio" (Councilmen Payne, Bundy and Hubbard) and all the other Morgan shouters that their candidate would not, could not be nominated, and explained why, Guess they can see it, NOW! The Rounder kept on telling them that former Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown of Blanchester would be the Republican nominee for governor and that, as all now know, was the result. One more prediction: Brown will be triumphantly elected in November. Twelvetree's majority over former Safety Director Edwin D. Barry for the Republican nomination for sheriff was only 2,577, which was less than had been anticipated, in view of the heavy Twelvetree vote poll in our wards. Twelvetree's total in the county was 45,542, as compared with 42,965 for Barry. This shows that Barry would have won *casily* if he had campaigned in the Heights and out in the county instead of in our wards. Tabulations indicated that Barry carried at least 20 of the 33 wards in the city and all of the larger suburbs. Twelvetree carried Newburgh Heights, the home of the *Harvard* club, and Maple Heights, the home of the *Thomas* club, which Barry promised to close if elected sheriff. Frank Lyons made a good run and will be nominated, two years hence, if he will stand as a candidate for the House of Representatives instead of the State Senate. The rule is to nominate a candidate to the Senate then stand for the Senate. Harold Gassaway was **wise**—and won a nomination. But he and Chester (Gillespie) will have to "step on the gas" from now on until in November, if they are to be elected. It's going to be a hard battle, as the big local and state Democratic primary-vote incentives many Republicans in their ranks, this year, as their vote (larger than the Republican local and state vote) 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 establish its rank as one of the best EFT newspapers published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.

It has at last become clear to the thinking, loyal, self 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 context, which does Tuesday, is both disgusting and disheartening. Their circulation of Barry petitions for signatures and notorious "fop" 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 Triplets" were and are Councilmen Payne, Bundy and former Councilman George; "The Twelvetree Trio," Payne, Bundy and Councilman Huba, aided and abetted by Councilman Herman Finkle of the Woodrow Wilson Library of the Bundy-Payne oppositin' when he again stands for re-election to Cleveland's legislative body. Our "brother"—the editor of The Call-Post—sure "threw a shoe" in his Haltnorth theater charge of week before last. If he had "ridden" the theater manager because he refused to advertise in our papers, the holding out his "mit" for the Afros' nickles, dimes and quarters, he wouldn't have gotten in so very hard over his head.

MILO BURCHAM "Blue Flash" Flyer at National Air Races The outstanding "thrill" of the National Air Races at the airport the end of next week will be the stunt flying of Milo Burcham, 29-year-old pilot of the two "Blue-Flash" planes, who will fly twice a day and who has guaranteed to pick the spectators right up out of their seats. One of his stunts is to sweep low over the field at full speed and dip a wing tip clear to the ground so that a fishhook in the end on the wing picks up a small handkerchief from the turf. He holds the national upside down record of four hours and five minutes which he won in January in Los Angeles. He learned flying at Long Beach six years ago. He is married and has two sons. He neither drinks nor smokes. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it.

AUGUST 25. 1934. Congressman Martin L. Swweeney and County Treasurer John J. Boyle, the Democrats, have proven their real friendship for the race in a practical way, and our people must show proper appreciation on election day in November, even the we are Republicans. There is a great difference between candidates who DO things for us and those who promise to do, and we should show that we are sufficiently intelligent and appreciative to understand that difference, governing ourselves accordingly. Since mass unemployment will be with us indefinitely, The Gazette would suggest to settlement-house officials that they aim to extend their activities to include practical work in adult education. Altho Cleveland College stresses the value of schooling for grownups, its charges are out of the reach of the man or woman without a job. It is consequently imperative that Friendly Inn, the Playhouse Settlement, Woodland Center and Hiram House extend themselves to the limit. We do not wish to minimize the work these organizations are doing, but we would call attention to the fact that critical periods of history demand a new approach toward their work by all social agencies. Healthy, unemployed men and women should have something else to do with their spare-time besides killing the hours on the street or in some gambling den. It is up to any welfare agency, deserving of the name, to make a special effort to reach out and secure these people, even if it requires handbill advertising. Citizens, with trained minds, will be better able to cope with the difficult social and economic problems bound to arise during this era of crisis. Our social agencies must encourage critical thinking on the part of members of the race. RURAL SURVEYS. If some enterprising college student wishes to delve into a sociological issue which has been too long neglected, let him initiate a study of our men and women who go into the small cities and villages in the north. How do they fare in employment? What social life do they have? What advantages and disadvantages do they face? How do they tie up with the larger cities where the total number of Afro-Americans is high? Do these rural residents have access to satisfactory economic and cultural opportunities? There are not many cities and villages in Ohio without at least one member of the race. Many of them lead lonesome lives,altho not more isolated an existence than white farmers in some agricultural regions. These scattered Afro-Americans would develop a far greater feeling of power and security if they were first made the subject of study and, following this, organizations of a constructive type reached in and let them know they were not lost. A Western Reserve University student would find much profit in taking such a county as Lake or Geauga, or both of them, as his territory and delving into the activities of our people living there. We have no doubt that organizations would subsequently arise that will prove markedly useful to these scattered members. HALTNORTH THEATER. On the first page of this paper will be found an official statement of The Haltnorth Theater, which repudiates the charge of a local contemporary that the theater was opposed to employing members of the race and were not giving such employment, etc. The statement makes clear the fact that our local contemporary's charge was and is untrue. As a matter of fact, as M. B. Horwitz, president of the Washington Theater Circuit, which operates the Haltnorth, Globe and four other local theaters, assures us all of the Circuit's theaters afford employment to members of the race and pay them the same (NRA code) wages given members of other races holding similar jobs. In all the many years we have known Mr. Horwitz, we have always found him fair in this respect. Years ago, when in personal charge of the operation of the Globe Theater, he employed a large staff of Afro-Americans to whom he paid an average of $25,000 yearly. The Halnorth Theater has in its employ five Afro-Americans who have worked for it four years; two for five years; one for seven years; two for eight years, one for ten years and one for twelve years. This ought to settle the controversy and satisfy our people of this community. A JOB FOR THE MINISTRY. We have Labor Sundays, and Sundays devoted to talks on mothers. Why not a Sunday devoted to an intelligent consideration of the race problem? Let our Ministerial Alliance approach the Federated Churches of Cleveland and ask that a Sunday be set aside for treatment of race issues such as lynching and discrimination. The white churches have been entirely on the defensive since the war and they have gained no ground. If their clergymen still contend that there is something yet vital in their alleged Christian teachings, let them unanimously back the movement for an interracial Sunday. Nor would we exclude the Jewish rabbis from the order to stress racial understandings, not in Germany or Arabia, and specifically toward Jews, but right here in the United States and toward Afro-Americans also. Frankly, we do not believe that our Ministerial Alliance is doing as much as it can to promote interracial understanding. If the white brothers of the cloth are unwilling to advocate the promotion of education in race affairs, then our ministers should turn directly to non-religious forces for important alliances in the fight for emancipation. But in Greater Cleveland, it is up to our leaders of Christianity to put the spokesmen for white Christianity "on the spot," and to let the public know the results. 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 loyal 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 act, 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 throughout 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-prejudice 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, thrill all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it.

A four-pound baby girl was born, recently, three weeks too early, to Mrs. Lucille Suber, age 18, of Philadelphia. It was on her account that the all-night race riot there, Aug. 1, occurred as a result of a kick in her abdomen by an angered Jewish grocer, Edward Morton, after an argument over a bar of soap and a bag of sugar. Thousands of our people participated in the melee. Jules Bledsoe, our baritone de luxe and, incidentally, one of the best operatic performers in the country, which we who saw him as Amonasro in "Alda" at the Cleveland stadium can testify, has organized a company to present on tour "Emperor Jones," the O'Nell-Gruenberg opera. The orchestra, principally on cruise sail, travel by caravan and here's hoping that the caravan strikes Cleveland. Bledsoe sang the part at the European premiere of the opera at Amsterdam, Holland, and repeated his success in New York, this summer. AN OPPORTUNITY.

LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abelk Jr. President U.S.N.R. 37 Rickenbacker Awarded Trophy Rickenbacker Awarded Trophy THE NEW YORK CITY BREWING CO. IN recognition of Eddie Rickenbacker's contribution to automotive progress, the U. S. Rubber Co. chose the 25th anniversary of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, of which Rickenbacker is president, to present him with an historic silver, gold and copper plaque. Rickenbacker is at left. Amelia Earhart and Roscoe Turner, noted filers, look on. W. B. Harding, president of the U. S. Tire Co., at right, in making the presentation, said: "The automotive industry, as a whole, recognizes the immense value the Speedway races have been in the development of the automobile and the various accessories entering into its make-up." Speed, comfort, safety, and economy of operation have been so well developed by gruelling tests to which cars are exposed in the 500-mile race that today almost every car built combines all the virtues of durability, safety, comfort, and appearance directly as a result. "We are asking Mr. Rickenbacker to accept this trophy, not for its intrinsic value, but for its linking up with the past and permitting us to memorialize the 25th anniversary of the Speedway, knowing that with him as president of the internationally known organization, further progress and development for the automotive industry is increasingly assured from year to year." LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTIC CA, August 7 (via Mackay Radio):-Now that the excitement about the tractor trip which failed to bring Admiral Byrd back to us has given way to the details of another attempt, our life here has once more resumed its normal routine. In spite of the great amount of automotive equipment we have we are seriously concerned over our loss of dog power. After all, the dogs are still a most important part of our transportation set-up, and during the past few months, we have lost 40 dogs. Some of these died from natural causes. Some Toby—who went AWOL were lost overboard from the flagship Jacob Ruppert on the way down here. One broke away, wandered off and we were unable to find him. Our few litters of new pups are being very carefully reared, some even by hand. Commander Noville and Capt. Innes-Taylor adopted two puppies which had been deserted by their mother. These were raised on the bottle and are now growing rapidly. However, they are still living in the little hut with the two foster fathers. Recently, of another litter of eight, only one survived. This one was brought in and left with Capt. Innes-Taylor and Commander Noville. They objected strongly and concocted a diabolical scheme. That night they placed the newly born pup in a box, hung a nursing bottle on the box and stole into the science laboratory where they left it on the desk of Dr. Charles G. Morgan, our leading geologist, from Tulsa, Okla. The next day there was a furious argument between the scientists and the two culprits. The latter were accused of abandonment. They repudiated that the raising of the puppy should prove an interesting experiment for such eminent scientists. So the scientists are now raising the pup in truly scientific fashion. Its feeding schedule is pasted on its box. Alongside is a set of scales on which it is weighed each day. Photographs are taken of it daily to show its progress and its food is measured and weighed to a fraction of an ounce. This pup, Orphan Annie, is now the pride of the scientific department and will probably wind up with a superiority complex. For four days now we have been looking for Toby, one of our best lead dogs. Toby sneaked out the other night and broke into the dog pemmican cache, ate ten pounds of it and disappeared. Everybody in camp started looking for him and ski parties risked their lives in the Antarctic night looking for him out on the trail. No trace. Yesterday, while working on the engines of the big airplane with Paul Swan, we had to go inside the fuselage. The door was open and there lay Toby, looking very sheepish. Capt. Innes-Taylor has sentenced Toby to the hoosegow for "AWOL." Every night Commander Noville and Capt. Innes-Taylor keep open house for the coffee drinkers. They are so busy making coffee for these guests and preparing milk for their two puppies that they have very little time for anything else. Even if we are able to rescue the big Cleveland tractor which we had to abandon 67 miles out on the trail and which is now undoubtedly covered with snow, we shall still need more dogs. They form an important part of the equipment for the amazing tractor and dog team explorations planned along the base of the Queen Maud mountains next November or earlier. But we shall probably have to get on with the dogs we have. The excitement over our attempts to bring Admiral Byrd back to Little America by tractor has caused a great rush of new members to join our club. If you haven't joined yet send a clearly self-addressed, stamped envelope to me at the American headquarters. Address Arthur Abele, Jr. President, Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York. Club membership is entirely free and you will be sent a beautiful big working map of the South Polar regions and a membership card without cost. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws. In 1900, the United States and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 received by a 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. (92 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 or children surviving such decedent, such shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of a personality of an intestate. Such sum, 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 have or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such . MOB8. county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer the fund and allow the section of the probate judge, allowing more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, may be arrested and named a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 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, 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 more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court. The trouble is our people will not use it often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under *f.*, in the courts. Cor.

It sounds like a battle call—or an alarm that Guadalajara is burning. Hurriedly you get up and go out on the hotel balcony. "All these churches," says a voice at your elbow, "and every bell with a different tone." It is the man from the room next to yours, a Spanish friend from the sugar plantations, in palamas and straw sandals. "I first came here more than 40 years ago, from Spain," he adds. "We made the last stretch in a four-mile stagecoach on leather springs, after a night battle with bandits. We got in just at dawn, with these same bells ringing. Nothing here has changed much—the same people, habits, churches, and bells. Even the bats are still here. Read at night, and your light draws the moths; turn out the light, and the bats fly in to eat the moths. But they don't eat their wings—next morning moth wings are all over your floor!" In the street below now black-garbed women, their heads covered, are walking quietly to mass—women of all classes, peon and aristocrat, but hardly any men. Rattling heavily, a water cart turns the corner, sprinkling the streets and raising that ammonia smell of old adobe towns where humans and beast have long crowded the absorbent soil too closely. You meet that same smell, mixed with the scent of roasting coffee, when at early morning men wet the dusty streets of Aden or Baghdad. "Ice!" "Bread!" "Morning paper!" All voices of the awakening city as truly as cackles, grunts, and squeals are the alarm clocks of the farmer. Before the doorway halts an old man on a mule, carrying two big cans. A sleepy girl, with a clay jar, comes out and buys some milk. And the man rides on, calling his singsong "Lche, leche," milk, milk in a despairing wall, more like a cry of pain than an invitation to buy. Now a country boy in a ragged straw hat comes driving a flock of turkeys. He carries a long stick, with a whip-like piece of string on one end, for flicking any errant turkey on the neck. He urges them on by hissing sounds, his tongue against his upper teeth, in the familiar Indian warning. They market thousands of turkeys on foot here, as in parts of Texas, the Inquisitive, shapely birds marching with quick, graceful strides, necks jerking sharply with each step. One strutting gobble, with pendent red wattles long as a prophet's beard, ruffled his bronze plumage and dragged his wings. By the time you dress, clap your hands for coffee, and read a Mexican paper still damp and smelling of fresh ink, all Guadalajara is swarming. Tramcars are crowded; so are busses. Bobbed-haired senoritas, in bright organdie, silk hose, and high heels, chatter and giggle their cheerful way to work in stores, beauty and curio shops, at switchboards or typewriters. Many are pure Andalusian types with blue eyes and blond hair, small, shapely hands and feet. The ease and joy with which man may look upon womankind in Guadalajara are proverbial. "In all Mexico, no others are so fair." "Surely St. Peter must have opened the gates of heaven to let down such a beautiful damsel." Mexicans say when a maid of pulchritude is passing. Along with the crowd, ogling the girls, come sleek young bank clerks, bookkeepers in the brewery, the factories, motorcar and other agencies, spik and span in flannels of Hollywood cut, carrying sticks, smoking pungent native cigarettes. The sidewalks of Guadalajara! Walk them at this hour and you see the city eye-high and close up. Workmen idly dig up the pavements, as always; traffic police in white gloves blow whistles and wave cars to stop. And they do stop; for one dispute with an alert Guadalajara traffic cop and the big jail yawns for you. On an open space soldiers are drilling and women wait before the colossal prison to get in at visiting hours. "They built the jail big enough to hold everybody in town, as a warning," is a local saying. Workers in Clay. Through the suburbs you meet more groups coming to work. In a flower garden a sandal-footed man is setting out young plants to make a fancy pattern of birds and flags. From the tail of his big black dog. Turkeys for Sale. Workers In Clay. asleep beside him, an old Indian artist plucks a few hairs, twists them defyly into his tiny, frayed brush, and resumes painting eyebrows on a clay head of Pancho Villa, master outlaw. Other heads, new and shiny, stand on a board: Obregon, Carranza George Washington, Henry Ford—and an American Shriner in a red fez. Pose for your own bust, if you like, and watch your nose and ears form swiftly from the mud. In half an hour old Pandura (Hard Bread), famed Indian sculptor, makes a fair likeness. "This Guadalajara clay art is fragile and hard to ship," says a buyer from the States. "But it sells well. Not the busts so much, but these urses, vases, and water bottles, in old Aztec patterns. These dancing girls are good, too, in their wide skirts and big sombreros." Around Tonala village and the suburb of San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Indians have worked in clay from time immemorial. The Spaniards found them at it, making dishes for domestic uses, making idols, images, and figurines of men and beasts. Untaught, and working far from the patter of studios and talks on art, these Indians produce excellent sculpture. Tiny pack mules, street hawkers, market women with chickens and baskets of fruit, vaqueros on rearing horses—all are formed and painted with fidelity to life. Sophisticated and erotic pieces also appear, with miniatures, ornaments, and vessels carrying a raised fretwork of deer, rabbits, ferns or palms. A flat clay plg, hollow, with a slit in his back through which coins can pass, is much sold as a child's savings bank. Happily for the child, these figures break easily; all you have to do is drop them. San Pedro Tlaquepaque, once the retreat of Spanish wealth and fashion, is linked with the city proper by tram, through an old customs gateway. Country people taking things into town to sell bad to pay a tax in the old days to pass this gate. A tiny, bright-eyed nurse girl, certainly not more than ten, comes by, carrying a big fat baby. You feel the baby should get down, for a change, and carry the tired little girl. Gambling Is Prevalent. On the curb's edge, three soldiers are playing cards with a greasy deck. One man deals, calling "Ocho de espadas," eight of spades, and other faces as they turn up. Gambling is not thought a vice. Men accost you, holding up yard-long strips of colored lottery tickets. You can buy a whole or part ticket. Such peddlers work on a commission for the official lottery, which holds regular drawings, is run in a strictly business manner, and devotes net profits to charities. Police appear dragging two disorderly men, one badly cut in a street fight. Certain knives here are made to fight with. Any battle-scarred mining or cow-ranch veteran will tell you he'd rather face a gun fighter than a Mexican trained with the knife. This business of knife fighting is full of fancy tricks. One is to throw the knife; another is suddenly to hit your opponent in the face with your hat, and then stick him while he's off guard. Defense work is equally skillful. The trained fighter wraps his serape around his left arm, or even grasps his big hat by the inside of the crown, using serape or hat as a shield, while thrusting with the knife. In "Old Mother Mexico," Harry Carr tells of a Mexican knife battle, fought to a draw, in which the heavy wool serapes were cut to shreds, but neither man hurt! After the knifemen comes a boy leading a very skinny horse. "Play us a tune on your harp," shouts a clerk, a Mexican witticism implying that the horse is so bony his ribs look like harp strings! Up the street past your hotel, late in the night, comes a squealing orchestra, preceded by three young men. One of this trio is celebrating his birthday. Hiring musicians to play in one's honor is good form, in keeping with established social practice. If you write a poem, win a horse race, or vanquish a rival, it is customary to hire a band and stroll from one cantina, or saloon, to another, or past the homes of your friends, with the music playing. Here music seldom ceases, and most of it is good. This makes you wonder how the many organ-grinders earn a living, till one explains: "They are subsidized by a fund willed to the city to insure free hand-organ music in perpetuity." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1934 Midsummer Night Formal Fashions Midsummer Night Formal Fashions By CHERIE NICHOLAS IT is fashionable to look taller by night than by day. At least that is actually what happens when you doff your happy-go-hucky, carefree and sports-looking clothes (they are certainly all that this summer) and come forth, when falls the shades of night, in the long-skirted dresses which fashion decrees for formal evening wear. All party frocks are now styled with floor-length skirts which often as not flaunt trains, making even the younger set take on an aspect of dignity and poise. There is something statuesque about these slim-cut form-fitting lengthened skirts which manage to make you look inches and inches taller than you really are. A feature which especially commends these lengthened, sleek, form-accenting skirts is that no matter how snug-fitting they may be about the hips (which they are almost to an exaggerated degree) when they arrive at the knees they are given an accommodating flare which affords perfect freedom of motion. In the advance fall showings, in some instances the skirts have knee-depth insets of sunburst pleatings (usually of soft chiffon). Sometimes the pleating flares all around, making the top of the skirt appear slimmer than ever by way of contrast. The interesting part about this program of costume design which places such stress on a styling which is dignified and sophisticated is, that even the simplest of materials are being worked up in this way. Indeed, many of the smartest numbers in the formal evening fashion parade are made of inexpensive organdies, volles, nets L A message or vital importance concerns the vogue for dine, dance and other gowns of more or less formality which are created of black nets or tulles or wispy laces of finest diaphanous texture. When fashioned of daintiest sheer net there is almost sure to be a lavish use of pleated ruche effects. The gown pictured shows a wide ruche trimming outlining the pointed-back-and-front decouletage. A similar ruche trimming heads the deep flounce on the skirt. The silhouette which stresses a slim fitted hipline contrasted by a pronounced and sudden deep flare is typical of the later style trends. Tricky Earrings Earrings—once more back on the fashion map—are novel in cut. Many are designed to follow the lobe of the ear instead of standing out, button effect, in front. and other sheer cottonts. Even more amazing and highly intriguing is the fact that the very leaders among the haute couture are creating some of their most successful party dresses of plque and even the once-humble seersucker and ginghams are daring to play a formal role in the evening mode. Speaking of inexpensive cottonts as made up in pretentious evening gowns, the model to the right in the group demonstrates the idea perfectly. It is fashioned of a simple cotton ratine which is patterned in a pretty cross-bar motif. It is in that soft dusky shade of pink which is such a favorite with smart Parisiennes this summer. The roses at the waistline carry the same pink tone. Of course it has a matching jacket. The dinner jacket of white organdie which tops the stunning evening gown to the left in the picture is a very important accessory. Organdie jackets such as this one, also organdie wraps fashioned on the long, loose swagger lines, are quite the rage. As to the dress itself, a pink crepe with black printings fashions it. It seems after all that prints are again triumphing in the summer mode, especially those in striking effects. The long-sleeve dinner gown remains a favorite. As for lace as a medium for the formal costume, its prestige is assured. The beige lace frock with its colored jewel clasps and belt buckle as shown centered in this trio of attractive night fashions should prove of special interest to the matron. They are so lovely, these pastel colored or chalk white lace frocks. $ \textcircled{c} $ . Western Newspaper Union. FIND TUNIC BLOUSE IN MANY VARIETIES That blouses will remain a big fashion is generally conceded, but in what forms is a matter of discussion. Very few courtiers have thought seriously, as yet, of models for autumn, and those who have show suits mostly with hip-length jackets and waist-length blouses of the butcher boy type. The rumor about Russian suit styles has been heard here. Lucile Paray has one suit with a tunic blouse which might come under this designation, and Heim has another, in velvetteen with fur bordered cont. Silk Still Holds First Place for Undergarments The increasing favor for lingerie neckwear, for cotton frocks and linen suits has brought speculation as to a change in undergarment styles, but so far investigation has failed to reveal any real revival of "lingerie" lingerie. Here and there, one finds a linen night-dress, as at Helen Yrande or one of the Paris lingerie specialists but such a model is an exception; and even at Worth, the prime sponsor of sheer cotton stuffs and frilly touches, as well as petticoat foundations for evening gowns, the answer is that only a few batiste gowns are shown. Large Parisian Compacts in Brown Simulate Wood New compacts from Paris are huge affairs made of a brown composition material that looks like wood. They are loose, single pacts, a trifle expensive, but a knockout to look at. To make accessories harmonize, there are bracelets and clips, trimmed in gold, of the same substance, and necklaces in which synthetic wooden links alternate with colored stones. New Cape Style A gown of bright flame red satin is cut with a deep square front decollette, accompanied by an ermine cape mounted on a square back yoke.
