Friday night, was placed in Chatham County jail, Monday, in a badly wounded condition. He was taken from officers after he had been charged only with attempting to attack B. R. B. Rossiter said the man had been shot four times and was in such a condition as to be unable to tell of his inhuman experience at the hands of the mob. Chatham County police received a tip that "White" was alive and wounded in a house in Bryan County. Sheriff White went there and brot him to jail here. O!

C.—New Dealers, Sunday night, revealed an impending human relief crisis of unprecedented proportions in an official report that 23,000,000 persons will require aid to live thru next winter. Relief costs, this year, will far exceed those of 1933. The estimate dwarfs all previous relief problems and sees a thorough and seasonal employment shrinkage are held accountable for the swelling figures. Donald R. Richberg, secretary of the executive council, outlined the relief situation in a report to President Roosevelt, the third of seven the council is making. Showed Them How! Chicago, Ill.—Patrolman John Brown of the W. 135th St. police station, N. Y. City, who was on a furlough and visiting here, was escorting Miss Alberta Pyrene to a motion picture show when two men, one with a gun, stopped them. Despite a shot thru his necktie, Brown matched the gun, knocked the man down with it, shot the other and then turned both over to the Chicago police. The editor of The Gazette will be the speaker for the Glennville Civic and Political Club at its meeting, the evening of Sept. 12, at Mr. and Mrs. W. Gaines' residence, 10710 Glennlaw Ave. His subject will be, "The Next Governor of Ohio." He will be introduced by Councilman Ben. Persky whose brother, Mr. Henry Persky, was recently elected Republican leader of Ward 24, largely as a result of the action of the council and the political club. President Charles Brown of the club was elected a precinct commiteeman in Ward 24, recently, the first of our people to be so recognized in that ward. MISS VIRGINIA WING Executive Secretary, Sight Saving Council of Cleveland An urgent appeal to the parents of school children to have the latter's eyes examined by a specialist before the opening of school was made, this week, by the newly formed Sight-Saving Council of Cleveland. Taking as it's slogan for the campaign for better eyesight, the phrase, "Eyes Right," the council calls attention to the statement of Dr. Howard H. Shiras, eye-specialist for Cleveland schools, that 85% of the children who are retarded in school, and cannot "keep up" have deficient eyesight. Miss Virginia Wing, executive secretary, also pointed out that 20% of the accidental deaths in this county result from poor eye-sight. THESE "PIERCE." One of the comical aspects of the recent primary campaign was the assertion by the Citizens' League that Chester Gillespie was "too race conscious." Mr. Gillespie never forgets that race discrimination is an animal that must be fought. The Citizens' League would have stood on firmer ground had it commended Mr. Gillespie without reservation. Marie Dressler was not afraid to pose with her colored help, and she remembered them handsomely in her will. She lost nothing thereby in public esteem. Her career can well be a splendid example to the many petty souls who imagine they lose caste by treating all men alike. Negro ministers who participate actively in politics should do more than back certain candidates. Some of them seem to forget that they are supposed to be spiritual and cultural leaders as well as political advisers. I would like to see some of them attack vital economic ills with half the vigor they employ in behalf of some candidate for office. George Bender's assertion that the Negro voter is more intelligent than other voters is downright funny. It is not true, and every intelligent person knows it. The Negro voter is neither more nor less discerning than his white brother. When that kind of voter has his horse, the speaker should be given the horse-laugh—David H. Pierce in The Cleveland Guide.

The University has a baseball team that has played six college teams (white) this season, winning all but one game which it lost to the University of Dayton. The Sox and Grays Split. Akron, O.—After dropping the first game, 7 to 6, the Cleveland Red Sox came back to beat the Homestead Grays, 7 to 4, in the nightcap of their double-header here, Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox outhit the famous Homestead stars in both games, but only in the second game could they bunch their blows effectively. The two teams played another double-header in the Cleveland Stadium, Labor Day afternoon. Bunching their hits effectively, the Red Sox won the first game, 5 to 3, but succumbed to Brown's pitching in the nightcap, losing, 8 to 5. Monday's results gave the Sox an even split in their current series with the Grays, each team having won two games. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MYTH!

OUR PROGRESS WONDERFUL ABSORBED EUROPEAN CULTURE AND PRODUCED ORIGINAL LITERATURE AND MUSIC. Took Northern Europe, Under Infinitely More Favorable Conditions, Twice as Long to Absorb Graeco-Roman Civilization. No race is fundamentally superior to any other, says Paul Radin of the Department of Anthropology at the University of California in a book entitled "The Racial Myth" just published by Whittlesey House, New York. To prove the theory he advances Dr. Radin examines the specific contributions of the various races to civilization as we know it and concludes that all races have combined in the building of modern culture race existing at that time, the Neanderthal, has completely disappeared, and none of the living races—White, Mongolian, and Negro—seems to have been differentiated as yet. If a case can be made for any of them it is for the Negro. The presence of apparent ancestors of the Negro race in this primary period of human culture" he adds, "would mean that Negroes have been in contact with civilization for more than thirty thousand years, a fact that is correlated with the existence Answering the eugenists who insist that the charge of inferiority can be made against the race, Dr. Radin declares "The fact that here in America, under unusually adverse conditions, the Negro absorbed European culture so completely that within three hundred years of his enforced landing he was able to produce an essentially original literature and music, seems to be beside the point. The eugenists have forgotten that it took Northern Europe, under infinitely more favorable conditions, at least twice as long to absorb Graeco-Roman civilization and do anything with it." In demonstrating that in his opinion the superiority of one race to another is merely a myth, the author states that the basis of all civilization, the achievements made during the Old Stone Age, beginning one hundred thousand years ago, we cannot make out a good case for any of the ancestors of our present races. The The Goodwork Cleaning Co. of New Haven, Conn., has selected Clifford Jones, also of New Haven, as manager of the two stores they have in Harlem, N. Y. City. Mr. Jones is assisted by a brother. A crowd estimated at 60,000 poured into Soldiers Field, Chicago Saturday night, Aug. 25, to witness the pageant, "O, Sing a New Song," by Will Marion Cook, which was under the direction of Cook, Noble Sisle, Harry L.

The recent discovery of a poem by Pushhkin, father of Russian literature and "Colored" according to the book, will be bailed with varying shades of interest by students of Russian literature even the in translations, and especially by Colored Americans who are pardonably keen to appropriate any achievement that enhances the begrudged glory of the proscribed race.—Boston Guardian.

The Ne-anderthal is the type them it is for the Negro. The presence of apparent ancestors of the Negro race in this primary period of human culture," he adds, "would mean that Negroes have been in contact with civilization for more than thirty thousand years, a fact that is correlated with the existence of Stone Age Civilization along the whole coast of East Africa as far as the Cape. "The Negroes." Dr. Radin writes, "did not participate in the development of Neolithic culture and those that followed owing to purely geographical and accidental circumstances. It was passed on to them, however, and they developed cultures of their own, of intrinsic interest and importance, just as did the American Indians, the Polynesians, and other groups. These cultures were, in many ways, the equal of our own—certainly the equal of our own until the Greeks arrived. If a high degree of economic advance and efficiency, a rich artistic development, a rich literature and poetry, and a complex religious belief, the earmarks of a great and advanced civilization, the Negroes of West and East Africa, the Polynesians, and the American Indians of Mexico and Peru possessed it." CITY THAT WAS SHEBA. Edouard Cornigilion-Molinier and Andre Marlaux have made an epochal discovery, a discovery which may prove the most significant in the history of archeological research. The strangest fact is that Cornigilion-Molinier and Marlaux are not archeologists; they are not any kind of scientists; they are merely French aviators who ventured over the Arabian desert in hope of finding a curious city of which there have been huge stories for a century and a half. The city, plausibly identified as the biblical Sheba, is only 80 miles from the insignificant and almost buried ruins of Mareb which had long been accepted as the city of the queen who took a fancy to Solomon. The first infinite reports of the French discovery were received with general incredulity because the find was located hundreds of miles farther east. In fact, the entire smacked so much of the Munchausen story that nearly everyone in and around France found that the aviators had been "seeing that" or drawing on fertile imaginations. Now Corniglion-Molinier and Marlaux are back in Paris with their photographs, and incredulity has given place to awe. The city extends for three miles and remains almost intact with between twenty and 30 temples and towers rising to heights of nearly a hundred feet. It is estimated that the population must have been at least 200,000, which would make Sheba one of the great cities of the ancient world. It indi- dated the Queen Sheba who visited Solomon, no maiden but the ruler of a great land and of a city comparably in splendor to Solomon's own Jerusalem. Despite the fact that the location of Sheba is guarded by the difficult mountains of Yemen and by hostile Arabs, who fired ancient muskets at the aviators, modern science will not be content till it has found all there is to find in this exciting region. A city described as "far bigger than the ruins of Babylon, Baalbek or Nineveh and as well preserved as ancient Athens" will not long remain the undisputed possession of Bedouin science, scientific interests as unpassing—and is there no "heart interest" in the city of the great and lovely lady who (as the story goes) found Solomon in all his glory quite irresistible?—Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1934. Thousands of our people, throut the country, who this summer att tended conventions or "had to have a vacation" away from home, this coming winter will sadly need the money they spent so freely. --- Wm. H. Crump (white) of Philadelphia, who has been serving as American vice-consul at London, England, has been assigned to Addis Ababa, Abyssinia, Africa, succeeding Wm. H. Farrell (white) of Miller Place, N. Y., who has been transferred to Beirut, Spain. Negro Democrats, "out of luck" again! Dr. Joe T. Thomas' Alaskan colonization scheme is a huge joke! Too cold, up there for "Afros." "Meanwhile," a local daily announces, "the 300 local members Thomas claims to have in his association are paying 25 cents initiation fee and dues of 15 cents a month. Also that there are 23,000 members of the organization in this country." Hoey, pure and simple. Under pressure from within and without, the leadership of the American Federation of Labor is suffering many well-deserved blows. It is fair to assert that no intelligent union man today has the slightest respect for William Green, the successor of Samuel Gompers. Surrounded by a group of fat, overpaid executives who could not do an hour's real work without suffering from high bloodpressure, Mr. Green has revealed himself as utterly devoid of ability to lead his forces constructively. His sole aim appears to be to stifle rank-and-file activity, but even in this effort he is being handicapped by rumblings from below. At this particular moment it is propitious for our labor-leaders to put Messrs. William Green and Matthew Woll "on the spot." The race must demand that the entire A. F. of L policy be changed. Unless all bars against the entrance of our workers into A. F. of L. crafts are eliminated, then our labor must align itself with the rapidly increasing thousands of other workers who are thru with the A. F. of L. and all its works, and are looking with increasing favor on rival industrial unions. Afro-Americans do not have to beg anything of the William Green coterie. While the NRA gave the A. F. of L. a mushroom growth it has been that and nothing else. The Federation leadership has hamstrung everything which smacks of progressive action, and the leadership in Cleveland is no exception. Either absolute equality for our workers in A. F. of L. unions everywhere, or they must work for the destruction of the A. .F of L. and for the growth of new and fair industrial labor organizations. CALLOUS GOVERNOR WHITE. If fifty thousand Ohio citizens were dying of starvation, we doubt that Gov. George White would manifest as much interest or sympathy as he would display if gas or steel were to lose one point on hte N. Y. stock exchange. He has proved himself not only an inept governor but also callous in the extreme. With our schools and other public institutions facing collapse, the chief executive is unwilling to call a special session of the Legislature. We are perfectly aware that any governor would have to deal with a recalcitrant State Assembly when it became necessary to levy additional taxes or to divert public monies in a drastic manner, but a fearless leader would summon public opinion to his assistance and whip the members of the State Assembly into line. The Gazette would inform Gov. White and his sponsors, obviously the loyal friends of big business, that the public is in no mood to starve. Neither is it willing to see a generation of Ohio children deprived of adequate educational facilities, despite the Barmaid Discovers She's on Busy Line as Beer Tap Sobs OO-LAY-I-LAY-OOH!! plans of reactionary bankers and industrialists to reduce millions of underprivileged citizens to the level of serfs. There are storms brewing, Mr. Governor! and they are far more serious than those which Dame Nature occasionally creates. While crooked bankers continue to walk the streets and live in style, while dividends continue to be paid on highly watered railroad-stock and interest on bonds of questionable value, the workers and the middle class will not suffer neglect. Cleveland must not duplicate Chicago's experiences in school matters or the indifference manifested by officials in such benighted commonwealths as Alabama and Louisiana. Educational and relief facilities must be provided for Greater Cleveland and the rest of the state! Cleveland's population does not consist of ignorant backwoodsmen who are satisfied with corn pone, salt pork, and two months of cheap schooling. Gov. White should pass the word on to the members of the legislature immediately. The public is long-suffering, but the limit of tolerance can be reached. ENGLAND AROUSED. When such eminent journals as the Manchester Guardian and the London Spectator devote columns to the Scottsboro boys, there is hope for the defendants. Only international action can save them. That was obvious long ago to every student of the case except the gentlemen connected with the headquarters of the N. A. A. C. P. These individuals continue to imagine the race issue can be solved principally by "seeing the right people." But enlightened world opinion believes otherwise and world opinion is correct. The British journalists interesting themselves in our Scottsboro case are doing Afro-Americans a great service. It is our sincere hope that spokesmen for the race and our many civic, social, and political organizations will not leave the protests solely to our foreign friends. Even the smiling Franklin D. Roosevelt, our President, must be forced to become serious when the Scottsboro affair reaches his ears. Additional Local Mrs. O. B. Williams and daughter, Miss Gladys R.

It seemed that Charlie had gone down to the refrigerator to tap a new keg. As he was completing the job, the refrigerator door slammed. Tap Spouts Music And there was Charlie! In fact, never in his life had he been as emphatically and decisively—in one place. The refrigerator door refused to open from within—"within" meaning where Charlie was. There was temperature where Charlie was. But so little of it that Charlie decided there was only a brief interval between his anatomy and a snowball. The large refrigerator lacked a telephone extension, so Charlie took experimental steps. Upstairs, Bernice, the barmaid, "NOT THE LARGEST BUT THE BEST!" Province of The Southwest. Little Rock, Ark.

To say that Bernice was dis-concerted would be putting it mildly. In fact, Bernice darn near fainted. When a beer tap starts to talk, the beer is over-strong in percentage or there's some foreign element somewhere. Chilly Charlie Saved Bernice figured that if she heard a beer tap talk, there was something AY-OOH!! haywire with either she or it. So she traced the coils to their starting point and opened the refrigerator door. There stood Charlie, the mixologist, and Charlie's shaking was not for the drinks. Charlie, it seemed, had disconnected the beer tap and sent an aria of woe up the tubing. Charlie is now seriously considering ordering an extension telephone for the refrigerator. Customers with weak hearts might not appreciate the novelty of a yodeling beer tap. And Charlie might be arrested for wire-tapping. After all, a beer tap is just a beer tap—not a private branch exchange. YOU KNOW ME.

I noticed what you say about how to treat my wife and show her I isn't afraid of her but what are you to go do if there is a big bruder of a mother hanging around which has sudden death in both hands? If I was to haul and but hurt her, they probably have been arrested for seeking a female, and she'd say her own.

Your friend, Your friend, 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. In other states and other northern 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. Damage 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. 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 the 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. 162 1.) A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the 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 the livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, the child's share, or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such 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 county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of 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 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.

(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 or other place by which he may 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 or more than five hundred dollars, or not less than thirty days nor less than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under '4', in the courts.

ARA, Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon river, is the threshold of the vast Amazon valley and regions as yet unseen by ex- plorers, It is a colorful city. The market square where throngs of housewives and servants come to select the day’s menu from gorgeous piles of fruits and vegetables, the calcimined walls, the outdoor murals, and even the roots of the city, assall the eye of the visitor from the somber North. Colors may scream, but never clash in Para. A house of shell pink may abut a neighbor of orange or of cobalt blue, and the result, under magic skles, is harmony, ‘Founded in 1615, Para looks every ay of her 300-odd years, and belles her looks. Aside from a few churches, it is doubtful whether there are many buildings really old. Grasses and weeds lift defiant heads from the crev- ices of roof tiles and the cobbles of the streets, and blotches of mold and Uchens creep inexorably over the walls. But these bespeak the exuber- ance of the Tropics rather than sen- ility. The mellowing effect, however, is the same. Notwithstanding her age and her population of more than 236,000, Para fg still beleaguered by the jungle. She 4s at once in and of the jungle. While she must fight ceaselessly to prevent recapture of her streets, even her houses, it is to the forest that her nonindustrial, nonagricultural people owe their very existence. ‘Wild rubber for a time made Para’s mame a household word in the indus- trial world, Rubber has since fallen upon lean days, but the people have merely turned to other gifts of the forest, though less effectively. Ware- houses that once reeked of crudely smoked latex now are heavy with the sickly sweet, copralike odor of Brazil nuts, or are piled high with conical bales of piassaba. Clean City; Poor Water Supply. ‘The city is clean, neatly ordered, and up-to-date, despite an economic depression that has endured for more than 20 years, since 1910, when the rubber boom burst lke an over dis- tended toy balloon, There are tram- ways, motocars, telephones, motion- picture theaters, and parks :hat are & delight to the soul. ‘Yet there must needs be a fly in the ointment. The water supply still drib- bles inadequately from three old tanks Bet together on an iron tower half- way up from the docks. Only he who, Boaped from head to heel, has had the bath shower suddenly sicken and die ean justly appreciate the joyful spurt from a faucet with 75 pounds pres- sure behind it! Here the traveler takes a twin- ‘screw triple-decker, blunt-nosed and square of stern, perfectly designed in the Netherlands for the comfort of ‘the Amazon tourist. A crowd packs her decks, a blast from the whistle starts an epidemic of back-patting, some tears, and a general rush for the gangplank; and when the con- fusion subsides there are left a mere handfol of passengers. Here, as at home, the bon voyage Is a fetish, ‘though with more reason in a region where all travel is by water and cities are days instead of hours apart —where the journey from Para to Manaos, for example, requires more time than the passage of the North Atlantic. Cool Cabins on the Steamer. ‘Wherever privacy is not essential, ‘solid wood Is replaced by wire screen im the construction of the cabins to permit a maximum of ventilation while assuring protection against mosquitoes. Even during the day, therefore, the staterooms are comfort able unless struck by the sun. Nev- ertheless, most of the native passen- gers use them merely as dressing rooms and spend much of the day as well as the night In their hammocks, which are slung in a place especially provided on the top deck. ‘This custom may account In part for the fact that @ passenger in pa- jamas is considered fully dressed. But if he appears in shirt sleeves, no matter how immaculate, he is thought il-bred. ‘The first-day you stream northward along the eastern shore of Jaguar is- Jand, round its point into the vast ex- panse of the Bahia de Marajo, and Jose yourself in monotons. Upstream and down, only the indistinct blending of sky and water mark the horizon; to right and left, a level blue line of tree tops indicate the position of the distant shores, all details are oblit- erated by @ haze of water vapor that makes binoculars useless for study ing even the nearer islands. Little left to look at besides the brown river itself, its surface whipped by the trades ‘into short, choppy waves, you follow the lead of the na- tive passengers and turn in for a siesta. Many Stops for Fuel. Just before sunset you enter Breves strait, one of numerous deep, narrow, winding channels through which the tide ebbs and flows between the Para estuary and the Amazon proper, and which dissect the terrain into a maze of jungle islands. Here you tle up at a small place to take wood for the botlers, So insatiable are these iron maws that wood stations have become typ- feal institutions of the low country and account for most of the steam- e's stops during the first two days. For hour after hour, sometimes far into the night, men and boys with eoppery torsos’ gleaming with sweat run across the plank in endless line to dump 10-stick loads with resound- ing thumps on the steel deck. Mid-morning of the third day you pass the little whitewashed town of Gurupa, atop the high right bank, from which steps descend to small plers, At one side are brown walls of an ancient fortress, and a mildewed church on a green, close-cropped lawn. You are now in the Amazon proper, though this part 1s only a channel around the southeast side of Gurupa island. Above Gurupa, the Xingu discharges waters collected on the plateau of cen- tral Matto Grosso, hundreds of miles to the south, Somewhere near its sources the gallant British explorer, Col. P. H. Fawcett, disappeared in 1925. No matter how many travel books he may read, the newcomer to the Amazon 1s never prepared for the re- ality. He is impressed according to mood. He may turn his gaze ahead to # distant horizon with no thin hazy Une of shore intervening between blue ‘and brown, and let his imagination wander the width of the continent, to where the river takes its source in Andean snows within sight of the Pa- cific; or he may took into Its depths and ‘see only mud. Plenty of Life in the River. Actually, the river tems with life, unseen though it may be. Its drainage claims 748 different kinds of fish— nearly a third more than {ts closest eompetitor, the Congo—including fa- millar lttle guppies, electric eels, four-eyed fish, murderous piranhas, and the gigantic pirarueu, whose dried flesh in bales befouls the air of every ship's hold in Amazonia. This monster, with maximum length of 15 feet and weight of 410 pounds, is easily the largest strictly fresh water fish ex- tant; yet It Is only a flyweight com- pared with its mammalian neighbor, the manatee, which may exceed a ton. Thus, among all South American ani- mals, the palm for sheer bulk goes to the gentle river cow. ‘After elght days the steamer turns from the Amazon against the coffee- colored tide of the Rio Negro. The change from brown to black is sudden and startling No more so, however, than the arrival, eight miles farther on, at a modern city of 42,000 set in the midst of a Jungle. Manaos lies 450 miles from the nearest rallroad, and that is but a moribund line around the rapids of the upper Madeira; yet one finds well- paved streets, ‘electric lights, tram- ways, automobiles, and the best ice cream ever tasted. There 1s even a magnificent opera house, though it stands empty, a sad monument to the heyday of rubber, when for a moment mantoc and pirarucu yielded to eham- pagne and pate de foie gras. But the biggest and tallest structure of all is the brewery, a veritable skyscraper as pulldings go in Amazonia. “Against the town's recorded history, the rubber boom is only an interlude. Nevertheless, the large number of poats that lie rotting at the water front seems an ironic reward for the British skil} that made these modern port works to rise and fall with the awe INE AMER) | Ws lahat Ulf z LLU SK . oy Wile lipid ha Soa O\| 428 re bens FALSE REPORTS or ILLNESS! , [a2 Fair Audition Reveals Talent [ea ST) et Ke LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTI CA, August 20 (via Mackay Ra- dio): — Concerning the reports which I understand have been wide- ly circulated in the United States that there is an epidemic of dysen- tery or other illness among the 56 of us here at Little America, | can: say only one thing—it Isn't true. In my story last week 1 empha- sized the fact that everybody here fs in good heaith and spirits—every single man, There 1s not a case of illness in camp and we are in no need of generously offered outside medical attention. The Admiral, however, is very weak. And who wouldn't be after being buried in a little but under the snow for four and a half months and being pot soned by fumes from a kerosene stove? He has carried on like a true sportsman, and has lived up to the highest traditions of polar explora- ton, The scientific records he has kept will prove of the greatest value, according to Dr. Poulter, the head of our science department who led the tractor expedition which rescued Admiral Byrd. Our leader is already tmproving In health and we all feel that {t will be only a short time before he is back with us all ready to direct us in the amazing explorations we have plan- ned for October, November and De- comber. The preparations for that third and successful attempt to reach Bolling Advance Base by tractor were carried on quietly and grimly ‘This time, however, the equipment to be carried was cut to an absolute minimum and the load of gasoline ‘was increased to more than 300 gal- lons. This, together with two ‘months’ food supply for those brave men, Dr. Poulter, Pete Demas and Amory Waite, Jr, were the major items of the load. Instead of an hourly radio sched- ule it was arranged to communicate every four hours in order to ellmt- nate the delays called for by a more frequent schedule. Tuesday morning, at 2:80 they left. The de parture was unostentatious, no pho tographing and no flag-waving or cheering; merely a tense “Good-bye, good luck!” After the departure the ‘expedition executives gathered in the radio room every four hours for the reports. The first 48 hours were Miss Dorothy Le Fold, one of the) three beauty queens selected at the new Worlds Fair In Chicago, was the first to enter the radio auditions contest being sponsored by the Fair, the National Broadcasting company, ‘and Chicago newspapers. Miss Le Fold is a co-ed at the University of Ghicago, where she majored In dra- ee Seere ae very disappointing. The tractor made less than a mile an hour. The camp was quiet, Everybody was glum and irritable, Bernard Skin- ner and I re-fueled the reserve trac- tor which was standing by for a possible emergency call ‘The tractor party missed one ra- dio schedule, which Increased the tension baék here terrifically. But ft was making good time and after 58 hours had passed the 50 mile base which 1 wrote about a couple of weeks ago, At 67 miles they passed the abandoned Cleveland tractor which we lntend to reseue tn time for the exploration Journeys later on, ‘At midnight Friday we received the welcome and relieving word that the Bolling Base had been reached and that the Admiral was alive but not well. Apparently he had undergone considerable suffer ing. He was weak and unkempt and very thin. This thinness, of course, was due to malnutrition induced by his not betng able to prepare his food during the worst period of his Mliuess. The members of the tractor party were completely worn out and immediately turved in aficr letting us know the goo. news. » seept for some trouble with the *saerators, Pete Demas reported that the little French Citroen tractor, the Tydol gasoline, Veedol motor off, Primus gasoline stove and the other equip- ment had functioned perfectly and had enabled them to complete thetr Journey and save the life of our leader. From now on | shall have a lot ot most interesting happenings to relate to you. in the meantime, don't worry about our health. It is perfect. And the Admiral, we feel, Will regain bis strength in Jig time. ‘The club secretary reports to me by radio that the club now has 24,000 members.
