TO the telephone man it's just another phone going back in. But to the housewife it means a lot more. Its presence in her home once again brings interesting chats, saves tiring trips, lightens housework, and summons help in an emergency.
Housewives dislike the inconvenience and isolation of being without a phone. That's why many families who now are able to do so, are having phones put back in. If you'd like a phone again, let us know and we'll get it in promptly.

The Taylor woman is in a serious condition.
HEAR! HEAR!!
The
ROUNDER
Our voters in Ward 12 cannot understand why Payne and Bundy, and even Hubbard, have so many more good appointments of our people than Finkle has, especially inspectors down at the garbage plant. Some of them say that Finkle gives the good places to whites, nearly all of whom do not even live in the ward. How about it?
President Roosevelt seems to have forgotten that there are, or rather were any "Negro" Democrats who supported his candidacy for election to the Presidency. Not one of them has been given a near first-class appointment and the outlook is not at all good. He simply ignores them and is worse in this respect than former President Hoover who was anything but good.
Current rumor has it that Mrs. Lilly Mason, woman-leader in Ward 18, urged Councilman Hubbard to inaugurate the job车jobholder-dollar each-payday assessment in vogue in Wards 17 and 11 but he refused to do so, he it said (if true) to his credit. The less he has to do with those two "Blossom Triplets," Councilman Payne and Bundy, the better it is going to be for him, in the future. Most of the mistakes Hubbard has made has been in blindly following them.
For nearly a year, The Rounder has been urging our people who owned property in that Cedar-Central so-called "slum area" to hang on to it, to go in U. S. court and fight for a reasonable sum for it and not present the government, to "skim" them of a goodly part of the real value today of their property. Fred Brown (white), an old "Cleveland boy" and former classmate of the editor of The Gazette, and George Jones, an old resident, are doing it. The real problem is, they will get more for their property than the real estate companies offered them for it. Don't be "easy."
How many remember the "doublecrossing" the Hon. Clarence J. Brown's candidacy, for the Republican nomination for Governor, received, two years ago, from Bundy? Do you remember the name of Payne and George, "The Blossom Triplets," promoted in Wards 17, 11 and 18 the three large "Sweeney" Afro-American independent Democratic clubs, the only ones of any size among all our voters in this city? That is how loyal they were to the Republican candidate for mayor in L.A., L. L. the party. It is high time we were getting rid of that trio of political racketeers. Don't you think so?
Rome, Italy.—Japanese penetration of Abyssinia, Africa, is causing considerable concern to Italy, after it became known that troops and munitions have been sent into Italian colonies in eastern Africa. This sense of uneasiness because of Japanese activity was increased because of growing militaristic manifestations in the empire of Abyssinia. Soldiers and supplies, consequently, were dispatched to Eritrea, Italy's colony on the Red sea, and to Somaliland.

Italy Uneasy!
WILLIAM J. RADDATZ
Program Chairman, Sight Saving
Council
Less than a month old, the "Cleveland Plan" of the newly formed Sight Saving Council of Cleveland, organized to study recent advances in the care and treatment of the eyes and the proper use of light for sight and to spread this knowledge to everyone in Cuyahoga County so that all may see better, is being called for by other cities. From New York, New Orleans and the west coast have come official resuscitors for the organization chart of the Cleveland committee, the first to work together the group of cities neighboring on Cleveland into one great committee of men and women fighting to save the sight of boys and girls and of adults, too.
William J. Raddatz, secretary of the Catholic Charities Corporation and program chairman of the Sight Saving Council, has outlined the plans for the campaign which will bring home to every citizen of the county the high toll that bad eyes take in health, happiness and even life itself. Twenty percent of the population have defective eyes, according to Judge Lee E. Skelce, president of the Safety Council. "It costs Ohio more than ten millions of dollars every year in industry alone because of poor eyes and poor lights." Raddatz pointed out. "From the minute a child starts to school to his last days on earth his eyes get progressively poorer and poorer. We must all remember that the older the eyes, the more light he sees, the more false teeth, but we can't see with a glass eye. Our eyes are the only pair we will ever have. Care for them."
Clubs and organizations wishing to hear an illustrated talk on the science of seeing and the many wonderful aids to vision are invited to call the Sight Saving Council offices, 1826 Midland Bldg., Md. 7778.
Doings of the Race
Suits aggregating $100,000 have been instituted against the Baltimore Afro-American as a result of the publication of a news story concerning Austin Walden and Dr. Lorimer D. Milton, of Atlanta, Ga.
Colored voters of Indiana will have to line up behind Hon. Sherman Minu-Dem) for the U. S. Senate resolution of all other issues.

"The Orlanders" quartette is composed of Edward Jackson, Benj. Wailes, Ira Williams and G. H. Hall. For the past four years the boys attended Wilberforce University where they were members of the Wilberforce University football team, this past Spring. Stopping in Cleveland they auditioned at WTAM and were offered a contract. Preferring to finish college, they turned it down, but as soon as they graduated, last June, they returned to this city and were signed by WTAM. NBC officials heard them before they could broadcast for WTAM, an event they worked at. So we suggest that you have your dial tuned to one of the 65 NBC (WEAF) network stations every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 4:45 p. m., if you wish to spend one of the most enjoyable fifteen minute programs now afforded by radio. "I believe the main reason for the success of the boys," states Fred Wilson, NBC music instructor who was sent from New York to coach the boys at the city. And most of you will agree with Mr. Wilson after hearing the boys interpret "Moon Glow" in a mellow sweet rhythm and then skip right into "My Hat's on the Side of My Head"; then into a touching spiritual.

SAYS THOMAS H. R. CLARKE
THE OBJECTIONABLE MISNOMER PERPETUATED BY "PROFESSIONAL NEGROES",
Hypnotized and Unsophisticated Men and Women of the Race Who Wilt Under the Miserable Designation "Negress."
The word Negro is perpetuated by racial prejudice and ignorance on the part of many whites, and by a group of professional Negroes—that is to say colored men and women who make a profession of being Negroes; and by another group of hypnotized colored men and women, who believe that the Negro has some high and mighty mission to perform in this country. It is further perpetuated by an unsophisticated class of schooled women who are effectively willing to be known as Negroes, but wilt under the racial designation of Negroes applied to one of their women.
One of the latest publications on Africa, places all the African tribes north of the Equator with the Caucasian group, and gives very intelligent reasons for this classification—stating that it is not a matter of color which determines the classification. All south of the Equator is placed in one general ethnic group—Bandi. We say that the Zulu is an ancient physician specimen of manhood in the world." Nowhere we are within the United States, mixed with European, American Indian and a slight strain of Asiatic blood, insisting that we be designated by a term, first employed by a
Dear Friend:—When the copy of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, containing the announcement of the completion of its fifty-first year and the entering upon its fifty-second year of continuous publication (every week on time), arrived I was just leaving for a little trip and so did not get to send my congratulations at that time. Upon my return, I regret to say, I unintentionally neglected to carry out my purpose. I hope you will accept my belated congratulations as not in the least less hearty and sincere because of the lateness. It is rare indeed that any journal can boast of such a long and continuous ownership by one person, not to mention the record of uninterrupted publication during that time. Ohio's Mob Violence Act and Civil Rights Law are eventing monuments to your devotion and the consecration of The Gazette to the securing and safe-guarding the rights of our people of the State of Ohio and the country.
With the resurgence of "jim-crowism" among our intelligentsia it is comforting to us, who are battling the tide, to know that there is at least one editor and one paper that is unswerving in opposition to such a suicidal policy. So with congratulations on your and The Gazette's past accomplishments and best wishes for a long and successful future
The Pilgrim Baptist Ministers' Conference at their regular meeting, Monday evening, Sept. 3, at the Community Center, E. 28th St. and Scovill Ave., gave unanimous expression that the our people in Cleveland is being greatly lowered by the faithless and inactive attitude taken by our three

A highly educated young man was complaining today that some of the Washington newspapers had dropped the capital "N" in Negro and was substituting the little "n" instead. Looking at the young man it was at once seen that he was about as far removed from the physical type which commonly passes in America for "Negro," as the so-called "white" man who happened to be present. He asked me what I that about it. I replied that I didn't care and handed what kind of an "N" was used since the word had no validity in the field of ethnology—that Africa had no Negro race or tribe, and that the word was improperly employed in the United States—that there was no Negro here now or at any time in the past.

SCORES OUR COUNCILMEN.
The Pilgrim Baptist Ministers' Conference in Session, Recently, Severely Criticises Messrs, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard—Time for Action.
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 the best EST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans.
ruthless band of Spanish and Portuguese pirates, which merely meant the skin color of the West African natives. Every colored man and woman within the United States white enough in color to be socially "white," should change their social habits, walk across to the other side of the line into the sun light of economic and political opportunity—into the land of freedom. There are at least two millions of who can do this. They have already hesitated too long and suffered too many deadly and weakening occasions. By every rule of the game they are Caucasians, and should seize Caucasian opportunities. Battling for the big "N" is nonsense and a waste of valuable time in the effort to perpetuate a word, which means remoteness from social and political influence, economic power and prestige.
The orthodox Jew is in the same boat with our group fighting to indefinitely perpetuate a perfectly assinine folly. If the Jew had accepted the New Testament with all of the occidental races, he would not have been driven into Ghettoes, subjected to every species of physical mental torture, and in 1933 to be victimized by Hitler in Germany. Many印第安 of Jews however, supported the theological line, in every country of the world, and their progeny has met with contentment, prosperity and freedom from oppression, and will be "gathered unto the bosom of the fathers" along with their kinsmen who were tortured by thumbscrews and branding irons.
The way of freedom and opportunity lies in sloughing off Negroism, and taking a lesson from forest and jungle, where bird and beast have developed protective coloring to a perfect art in the struggle for survival.

council members when any measure of importance to us comes before that body. The conference says: "It is indeed comical to see how these three councilmen are aroused to a frenzy during a political campaign and declare the unswerving devotion of the race to the Republican party, not only for the fraternity of freemen and policemen are placed on the payroll but only one member of the race. Winter is coming and the Central Ave. line will continue the poorest service in the city. Have those three men sought protection for our youth from the white thugs at Woodland Hills park? Did they do anything towards opening the hospitals for the training of our youth? We would believe it time to head the words of the Holy Prophet: 'Put out from among us those workers of iniquity.'"

LATEST GARVEY ECHO.
Mrs. Marcus Garvey en route to Africa to Lecture—What She Has to Say of His Work in This Country.
London, England.—Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey, wife of Marcus Garvey, who collected $1,000,000 from Afro - Americans to "to found an African empire" and was later prosecuted and incarcerated for alleged mail fraud, recently reached London. Mrs. Garvey, age 37, and handsome, is going to the Gold Coast, Africa, whose paramount chief, Sir Ofari Atta, has invited her to lecture. To a reporter Mrs. Garvey said: "Garvey had an idea, but it got too big for him. When I met him in the West Indies, I was just out of school. He didn't have a cent. All was a shiny old morning coat and trousers that didn't fit or match.
"With the $1,000,000 he got out of the 'Negroes' in the United States he bought ships, founded banks, businesses, newspapers. His idea was to carry the whole of the 'Negro' population of the United States to Liberia, to be a free people. We were forced to sell the ships. They could not get sufficient cargoes. Garvey and I had no news now. He jamaica. He doesn't use his titles any more. I never called myself 'Empress.' I didn't believe in any of that title stuff. But 'Emperor' Marcus loved it."

SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 1934.
The two national Baptist conventions are a standing advertisement of a great lack of harmony among our Baptists of the country. Both meet in Oklahoma, this year, and ought to unite, "for the good and welfare" of the great Baptist Church.
Jeff Williams, age 40, an elevator operator in an apartment building at 160 Clairmont Ave., New York City, was arrested, last week, on a charge of violating the "Empire State" Civil Rights Law and locked up in a police station on the complaint of Thurston W. Lewis, another member of the race, who said that Williams had refused him service on the elevator, saying "this is an all white house. We do not allow Negroes here." That "brother" ought to be sent to Sing Sing (N. Y. state prison) and the key thrown away.
ABYSSINIA.
Led by King Menelik, many years ago, the Abyssinians beat back and all but annihilated the flower of the Italian army, sent into Africa to subjugate them. Then it was that that country laid the foundation for the world recognition it now enjoys. As a result, Abyssinia is better able, today, to defend itself than ever before in its history because its king (Menelik) and his successor or successors in power have been wise and drawn upon the best armies of the old world for instructors for its 10,000 or more warriors. So Italy don't need to worry and doubtless is not worrying for Abyssinia because of an alleged Jap invasion of Africa. That is undoubtedly a newspaper "story." If Italy is doing any worrying at all it is for its African colonies, and not Abyssinia.
THE TERM, "NEGRO."
The very objectionable misnomer "Negro" was officially saddled upon Afro-Americans by The Congress of the United States soon after the close of the war of the rebellion. Some day in the near future we hope there will be enough "Thos. H. R. Clarkes" among our people to inaugurate a movement to influence The Congress to give us a satisfactory designation, certainly one less meaningless and objectionable than the terms, "Negro" and "Negress." Every time we hear some "professional Negro" say he is proud of the term, we feel like suggesting that he have his head examined. As a rule, however, they are those who feel that they are currying favor with either prejudiced or ignorant whites, usually with the hope of financial gain for themselves or something they represent, like a church, school, college or some other organization. Read Mr. Clarke's article, elsewhere in this paper, carefully, thotfully. It will not only interest you but pay you to do so.
SCHUYLER'S TREASON.
George Schuyler of the Pittsburgh Courier, the columnist who imitates H. L. Mencken, is guilty of treason against humanity. Not satisfied with trying to wreck the defense forces in the Scottsboro case, Schuyler is now using his influence to see that Angelo Herndon, sentenced to twenty years in a Georgia chain gang for labor activities, is returned to that state, from which he has been released on $15,000 bail, raised chiefly by the poor black and white sympathizers of America. Five years ago Mr. Schuyler was a healthy critic of our peoples' fobles. But he has degenerated fast. Every decent human aspiration is derided by this cheap scribbler, but he reserves his choice pen-poison for the poorest and most defenseless elements of his own race. In a civilized society, George Schuyler would be in chains. He flourishes, today, only because a decadent ruling element can make use of a few specimens like him. Every intelligent member of the race should repudiate him without delay.
IS THERE A PLOT?
Is there a plot being engendered against our unemployed citizens of Cleveland, disguised as a housing program? Space is being made for the erection of new homes—for employed whites. The dispossessed poor black and white men, women and children of the Cedar-Central housing area are being driven into the gutter—mainly Jews, Italians and our people. Those who have some money are finding new quarters difficult to obtain, thanks to discrimination and exorbitant rents. Winter is coming on. Hundreds will be driven into shacks where pneumonia and tuberculosis will thrive.
We would remind Councilman Ernest Bohn and his smug supporters that diseases spread to the better areas invariably. Influenza can not be limited to a single "area" or police precinct. Even the homes of swindling realtors and designing bankers are frequently invaded.
The Gazette calls upon Councilman Finkle to investigate and seek the answer to the question: "What is to become of the dispossessed, this winter?" We call upon our three "Negro" councilmen, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard, to do one decent piece of work for their constituents, even if it hurts them to shake a leg and substitute a little action for noise and hot-air. We demand action from the N. A. A. C. P., the "Negro" Welfare Association, and our Ministerial Alliances. We would like to see the League of Struggle for Our Rights manifest a little interest in the housing problem, if its reputed organizer, Walter Dicks, is capable of doing anything. If housing is not adequate, people will soon be freezing. They will NOT move back south, despite the best efforts of the plotters.
The elected councilmen (Finkle, Payne and Bundy) from the affected areas must quit bluffing the voters long enough to do one piece of constructive work. Otherwise, gentlemen, there will be a day of reckoning, and it will not be long delayed. Every man, woman and child in Greater Cleveland is entitled to adequate food, clothing and SHELTER, and THEY ARE GOING TO GET IT!

Graves May Go to Lincoln.
Jefferson City, Mo.—Rumors on the campus here at Lincoln U. are to the effect that Harry Graves, former Michigan State fullback and well-known coach of championship gridteams at Wilberforce U., will take over the football reins here. It is generally known that negotiations have been underway for some time with Graves and those in "on the know" here are firm of the opinion that Coach Graves will be in charge this fall.

AN OPPORTUNITY
"The Old Reliable Gazette desires and active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required to make some more. We are especially desirable of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus, Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H. Lancaster, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none.
Write to the editor of The Gazette, 226 West Superior Ave., Cleveland, O., and terms will be promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly and we will send sons in the cities named, and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter.
THE MAN WHO DARES
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the aplause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, 1932. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can happily say: It is worth its weight in gold!
I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible, smite it. You and I have frequently, during the fifty years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle. I take off my hat, and admire a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette.

IS IT ANY USE TO CON-
TEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of unimproved education and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without inferiority and are not 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the liberty of their people, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Wm. Monroe Trotter in The Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTIC
CA, Aug 27 (via Mackay Ratio):
My, my, what a lot of news
this week! The blessed sun has returned.
Admiral Byrd is recovering
rapidly. I've had my first tractor
rip in the Antarctic gloom and
don't like it, gand I have developed
a new game—parachute skiing.
Some thrill, but only for those bent
on suicide! More about that next
time.
Right on schedule, the sun returned to us on August 22 and we had a grand celebration over it with turkey and mince pie. Although the temperature was 60 below zero, a big group of us went out on skis to the top of a ridge on the Barrier, a mile from here, to give Old Soa a welcome. Gradually, just before noon, a pale grey light spread over everything, changing to a pink and yellow spot down by the horizon. And then, sure enough, up came a little corner of the sun itself—the first time we had gazed upon it for more than four months. Now, every day, the sun will pay us a longer and longer visit and finally remain with us 24 hours a day. What a difference that is going to make in our lives! Fifty-six men penned into a few little huts surrounded by dark snow, snow and howling winds can certainly get on each other's nerves I could write a book about that.
When Dr. Poulter and his tractor party arrived at Admiral Bryd's last week one of their first messages to us said, "Please have trail clearly marked in crevasse area between Little America and Barrier and through Pressure Ridge." It was in this area that the tractor party became lost, narrowly escaped falling into a crevasse and the sledge with 1400 pounds of equipment was swallowed up so that it took the tractor crew five hours to get it out. Immediately upon receipt of the message Harold I. June of Darien, Conn., Bernard Skinner of Wintchrop, Me., Kenneth Rawson of Chicago, and I were ordered to get into trail clothes and take the reserve tractor out there for the purpose of marking the trail through this terrible area.
We left at 11:30 a.m., following the faintly visible trail left by Dr. Poulter and his crew. Rawson had devised a new method of navigation of a tractor and we were all anxious to try out this idea because navigating from the driver's seat had proved too difficult and dangerous. If this new method proves as successful in future trines as it did on this
one I shall have an interesting story to tell you and we shall have made a new contribution to the exploration science. We were towing Rawson on a sledge. He communicated with June in the driver's seat by means of two lights on the dash. Even for such a short trip we had to carry complete trail equipment of food, fuel, stoves, cookers, radio machines and so on because of the possibility of being caught in one of the blinding blizzards which descend without warning and make travel impossible After reaching the Pressure Ridge we disregarded any possible trail and navigated by compass We passed towering ridges of ice and detoured around impossible hummocks. It was weird and inspiring in the half light. The rough uneven surface looked gloomy and forbidding. We could gimpse the trail left by the other party, weaving in and out, retracing and sometimes even circling. It was evident they had been in difficulties several times and had wandered for miles trying to get through.
We kept a sharp lookout for crevasses and narrowly avoided several. In the Pressure Ridge are areas of ice that have sunk to water level and other areas present ample, grotesque formations 50 and 60 feet high. By navigation we made 8 miles in one hour over the same terrain and under the same conditions that required 12 hours for the other tractor expedition. Our new method of navigating proved highly successful and I'll tell you all about it later. It was my first experience on the Antarctic trail in the darkness and it is something I shall remember all my life. Frankly, I don't like it. One has a constant feeling of danger and, again, it is not the soft, velvet darkness of more temperate climes but a heavy flat thick darkness that seems to bear you down oppressively.
Now that the sun is here I am going to have wonderful things to tell the club members in these weekly stories. You know, there is no charge for membership in this club. All you have to do to get a membership card and a big free 20 x 27½ inch working map of Antarctica is to send me a clearly addressed, stamped envelope at the American headquarters.

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 G. 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 are among the states that have enacted 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:
section
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynchings.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.
MOB8.
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 "personal injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall be defined as injury as perly 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 an assault occurred, 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 8.)
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 sum shall be distributed among such children in kinning 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 against such person, who is 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 indemnify the person for 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 a litching man may recover an amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob
A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a 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 disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1934.
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, house house-shop public conveyance by land or water, theater 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 twenty 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 as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

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

Cleveland Recalls Lack of Bells on Early Telephones
Pioneer Tells of Talking Over One of City's First Lines
George Bennett, one of the oldest telephone pensioners in the state, talked over one of the first telephone lines to be erected in Cleveland. Bennett's early experience with Alexander Graham Bell's "toy" occurred while he was employed in the city's fire signal service before he became a telephone worker.
It was a few years after Bell had presented his invention to the public for the first time at the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876, that a short telephone line was rigged up between two fire engine houses in Cleveland.
"At best," Bennett says, "telephone communication then was a poor imitation of present-day service.
"We could hear all right over the fire house line, but we had difficulty in getting the other party to answer.
The hook-up was equipped only with receivers and when we wanted to use the line we signalled the other party with a telegraph key. There was no rinsing device in those days."
Bennett's interest in the art of voice transmission led him to accept a job with the telephone company, which then was struggling to master what now are considered fundamental operating problems. He "shot trouble" on Cleveland's first long metallic circuit, which was strung from the downtown office of the tire hose terferer, trouble, still love" the idle few of comm eyes on

THE TRUTH
ABOUT HAIR AND HAIR TREATMENTS
You may be one of millions who has wasted time, hope, money on "tonics" and treatments . . . Now Charles Nessler, inventor of the permanent wave, leading hair scientist, author of "Story of Hair", makes a simple but revolutionary discovery that
BALDNESS • DANDRUFF
OILINESS • THINNING HAIR
In the past, tonics and treatments
tried to stop hair from falling.
That is as useless as to try to stop
an animal from shedding! What
you must do is make your scalp
replace the hair that falls—in short,
complete the hair growing cycle.
It is on that scientific principle

Prepared by National Geomranbic society,
T= sultan of Sulu, the only
oriental potentate ruling under
the protection of the United
States, has recently been bereft
of all political power, although he
still exercises religious authority over
his Moro subjects in a litfle group of
islands which are part of the Philip-
pines. The new governor of the Philip-
pines, Frank Murphy, decided not to
appoint. the sultan to the Philippine
senate. Although the sultan seldom
took his seat, the honor had been ac-
corded him since the time of Gov. Gen.
Dwight F. Davis.
“In real life the sultan of Sulu ts
not the amusing semi-savage that
George Ade put into comic opera three
decades ago, but a decidedly modern
ruler of the Sulu archipelago, which
forms a series of oceanic stepping
stones from the Philippine group to
British North Borneo,” writes George
M. Hanson, former United States con-
sul at Sandakan, British North Bor-
neo.
“Although he partly acknowledged
the temporal sovereignty of the Unit-
ed States in 1899, and completely so
in 1915, he retains some of the glam-
or ascribed to him by the dramatist
and remains locally a potentate to the
native Sulus, or Moros. He formerly
maintained ‘at Maimbung, on the
southern coast of the island of Jolo,
a two story frame ‘palace’ for himself
and six smaller dwellings for his wives
and retinue. In 1982 a storm wrecked
most of the buildings.
“Purely religious, his titlé connotes
nothing more than leadership of the
Mohammedan church within the lim-
its of his sultanate, The sultan of
Brunel, British Borneo, the recognized
‘royal highness’ in the greater part
of the territory, is inclined to regard
him as a poor relation who pays trib-
ute to Brunet; but nevertheless he is
a full-fledged sultan and has author-
ity of a sort over perhaps 300 small
islands and that part of British North
Borneo with administrative headquar-
ters at Sandakan.
“In Borneo, as elsewhere, the Brit-
fsh are good colonizers, They believe
it 1s wiser to placate the Sulus on the
Borneo side of the Sulu sultanate
than to run risk of trouble; conse-
quently they still pay tribute to the
sultan and accord him military hon
‘ors on his visits to Sandakan. He
4s given a salute of guns when he
comes to collect his annual tribute,
‘and is entertained for two weeks or
more by British officials at Govern-
ment house, Here he receives. local
native chiefs and other notables.
‘Many Wives but No Children.
“The sultan prides himselt on being
an American, though his domestic ar-
rangements have hardly been of a
kind sanctioned in the United States.
‘Under the Koran he may have four
wives at one time; and, since he has
power to dismiss a wife or divorce
her by waving his royal hand, the
Umitation of number has not been
irksome. It is sald that in his day
he espoused many wives. He has no
ehildren, however, and the Rajamuda,
or heir’ apparent’ (muda is a Malay
word meaning ‘unripe’), is his young-
er brother. Although the 1915 treaty
recognized him as the spiritual head
of the Sula Mohammedans, its terms
were such as will eventually cause
Polygamy to be abandoned.
“Matrimony 1s somewhat casual
among the Sulus, and it Is not un-
usual for girls of thirteen, twelve, or
even eleven to be claimed as brides.
When I was United States consul at
Sandakan, I had an amusing experi-
ence which impressed upon me the
peculiarity of native marriage cus-
toms.
“Shortly before the sultan’s visit
to Borneo that year, a German land-
holder whom the British had ordered
‘out of the country for the duration of
the World war requested me ‘o take
charge of his rubber plantation near
Sandakan, I agreed, since it was then
my duty to take over representation
‘of German Interests, to go there on
each pay day and check the accounts,
Dut I declined to assume officin! con-
trol of the plantation. Thus I became
for a short time ‘master’ of the Malay
ee eee neneent of a
ets oa a
my arrival on the first pay
day, the accountant, x Singhalese from
Ceylon, brought to my attention a plea
from Alnus, the house boy, who needed
an advance of $10, Singapore currency,
for wedding expenses. Alus’ prospec-
tive bride, the intermediary explained,
was Canapa, daughter of Samat, the
chief tnpper.
‘Canapa Was Too Young.
“Canapa was rather a little girl,
and, it seemed to me when her moth:
er presented her for inspection, much
too young to be thinking of ‘matri-
mony. I decided a little delay would
do no harm. Although the mother,
herself only twenty-four, argued that
Canapa was ‘Jong past eleven and
ready to marry’, I announced kindly
but firmly that no girl under twelve
could be married without my special
consent.
“The mother asked if the wedding
could take place when the girl was
twelve, Not wishing to seem over-
harsh, I assented, I even offered to
take a photograph of the supplieants
and to give them a print as balm for
their disappointment. ‘They eagerly
posed for the picture and went away
Seemingly well pleased.
“On my next visit to the planta-
tion, I sent for Canapa and her moth-
er and gave them a print of the pho-
tograph I had taken of them two
weeks earlier. They seemed very hap-
Py, and the mother asked again if
Capapa could be married when she
was twelve. Again I sald yes, and told
her to go ahead and prepare for the
wedding, Alus also asked the same
question, and I repeated my assur-
ance to him. Canapa would be twelve
at the full moon, which would occur,
so he had learned from the account-
ant, on Sunday of the next week.
Entertaining the Sultan.
“A week after this episode the sul-
tan arrived and received official en-
tertainment at government house. 1
could not let the British outdo me in
showing him the courtesy due his posi-
tion and Influence, and accordingly 1
invited him and his party to the con-
sulate to tea. The guests Included the
suitana, the rajamuda, the sultan's
minister, and several datus, or chiefs.
“L.offered them cigarettes and hand-
ed the sultan « package labeled ‘Ezyp-
tian Cigarettes, Turkish Tobacco.” He
examined the package critically, and
when he saw the hlerozlyphies he was
delighted, Ezyptian cigarettes, he satd,
were made by the ‘followers of the
Faithful and not by Christian infidels.
I did not disturb his sublime faith,
though I could have told him that
those elgarettes were machine made in
North Carolina from tobacco grown
in Asia Minor.
‘And So They Were Married.
“while I was entertaining the. sul-
tan at the consulate, It occurred to
me that it would be a fine thing to
have him perform the wedding cere-
mony. ‘This would be an unexpected
honor to Alus and Canapa and no
doubt would prove highly gratifying
to all concerned. The more I thought
of the {dea the better I liked it. 1
ould have the yeung couple come
ack with me to Sandakan on Satur-
day, and invite the sultan to anoth-
er tea, where he could smoke his fill
of Turkish cigarettes made by the
‘Faithful’ in North Carolina, ‘The wed-
ding of Alus the Bajao and the twelve-
year-old Malay beauty, Canapa, would
follow, The incident was all but closed.
“When I went to the plantation the
following Saturday, the full moon that
regulated Malay birthdays for the
month had waned perceptibly. The
accountant met me as usual, but no
smiling Alus stood in the doorway to
greet me.
“Where 1s Alus? I asked. *
“He is here no more, He and Ca-
napa live in the little house behind
the rubber factory with Surinim, the
Kaboon (gardener), and they went to
Sandakan today in the hope of get-
ting to see the sultan.’
“Living with Canapa? 1 muttered.
‘What do you mean?
“«Phey were married at the full
moon, a week azo, as the tuan had
said, and he is at this house no
more!
“Married a week ago? Who married
them?
“shy you, Tuan; you married
them.’
“{ married them! What are you
driving at?
“qt was the foll moon, Tuan, and
Canapa was twelve. And so they were
married, as the tuan had sald. They
sleep in the house of the kaboon, who
is Canapa's uncle, Is not the tuan
pleased?
“Then the whole thing suddenly
dawned, The accountant was right,
and all my paternalistic. plans for
giving the house boy and his child-
ish fiancee a wedding of regal pomp
and circumstance had come to naught.
“{ had married them, however, unin-
tentionally, but none-the-less certain-
ly. Because of my inexperience with
native customs in affairs of the heart,
I had spoken fateful words too casu
ally. ‘The tuan had signified his con-
sent and had fixed the time That
was enough.”

VELVET FOR FALL | | MORE RIBBONS a
All the early fall Paris collections
stress the importance of velvet. Spe
cial emphasis is being placed on vel
vet worn in a practical way. Young
girls will wear about town swagger
¢onts of velvet with matching velvet
berets. ‘There will also be many neat-
ly tailored jacket suits of velvet, a
fashion which will be sure to appeal
to the college girl. An outstanding
theme on the fall program is the sim-
ple one-piece velvet dress of the type
Mlustrated which will be found very
useful the season through, since it can
be worn quite informally during the
day's activities. A rhinestone clip at
the neckline with a wide matching
bracelet provides the glittering note
which characterizes most costumes in
the new scheme of things.
Blouses of Wool Net Will
Be Seen in Fall Styles
Biouses of wool net will be seen
with some of our miost aristocratic
sults this fall, and the new satiny
woolen dinner gowns will employ wool
net for sleeves and bodices, in elther
matehing or contrasting colors.
In a coarse mesh, the wool net will
be used for sports blouses and such,
and in a finer mesh, for formal
clothes.
It brings with it added favor for
woo! lace, another innovation that
will be seen around and about this
coming season.
‘And for the height of elegance, you
will see wool net evening gowns
spangled with palllettes or glinting
with highlights of metal threads.
FLASHES FROM PARIS
Dull amethyst 1s featured cotor.
Velvet is outstanding in all col:
lections.
Elaborate algrette novelties trim
the small hat.
Much-to-be admired are the new
changeable velvets.
Cholr-boy robe Is inspiration for
new formal coat lines.
Evening dresses introduce neck-
to-hem seam back and front.
Many ornate crystal also gold
buttons adorn the new modes.
Paris Winter Styles Call
for Feathers in Headgear
Pocahontas had’ nothing on what
fashionable ladies will wear during
the coming winter season, according to
previews of winter styles In Paris,
Women will have feathers not in
their hats, but literally in their heads.
Snapped across the head on tortoise
shell bands, some designers are fea-
turing paradise feathers swirling
across the cheek and under the chin,
Other designers offer stiff ostrich
pompoms or osprey feathers set, cor-
fonet fashion, in hummingbird wings.
SPLIT SKIRT SEEN
IN FALL FASHIONS
Seems Predominant Trend of
Autumn Mode.
‘The split skirt seems to be one of
the predominant trends of the ad-
vance showings of fall fashions.
‘The split is used m both daytime
and evening clothes, and is placed
either at the side, the front or the
back. Sometimes, as a matter of fact,
it appears at both sides of the skirt.
‘There 1s a definite interest in back
movement, many of the advance styles
showing tunles that button up the
back and skirts that are finished with
either a cluster of pleats or a slit at
the back.
‘Sometimes the slight skirt in evening
fashions 1s accented by facing of a
vivid contrasting color.
‘There's a tendency toward swish
for evening skirts, as Inst season's
trains have been pruned down to em-
bryonle proportions, and now are rep-
resented usually only by a back flare
at the hemline, or by a sudden ripple
of pleats, or by a slash.
‘Tunis are all over the place, both
for daytime and evening, often flar-
ing below the belt, and accenting thé
straight slimness of the skirt.
Some designers show a slightly
longer skirt for daytime wear, and
wothers leave the length unchanged, |

Wateh hair ribbons! Even the old-
er girls are wearing them and with
flattering results, It Is quite a fad
to tie a wee ribbon about one’s muchly
curled and waved tresses, as one
lounges about the home in becoming
negligee—also on the beach for con-
venience. Growing girls, of the age
of the little miss pictured or there-
abouts are most prettily beribboned
these days. ‘The dainty party frock
of sprigged organdie which this charm-
ing maiden is wearing, is set off to
perfection with a girdle tie of pastel
ribbon which Is generously bowed and
streamered at the front. Little bows
of ribbon on the puffed sleeves, too!
‘The styling of this party dress is so
winsome, the thought occurs that it
would be an excellent model to copy
in wool challis for fall or in one of
those very attractive washable rayon
prints which are so practical for ehil-
dren's wear.
Attractive Beret to Be
Made Welcome This Fall
After the large hats worn this sum-
mer, It will be nico to slip on an ate
tractive little beret or a hat of the
derby type with low round crown and
barrow, curling brit.
‘Then, too, small hats of the tre
corne type will no doubt be favored
by the more mature woman, A nice
tittle beret, on four-cornered lines,
has a center of black satin and a
deep border of tucked grosgrain rib-
bon.
‘A delightful tricorne 1s in black
felt with the cleverly stitched crown
following the line of the brim, Across
the crown is a trimming of chartreuse
‘and orange ribbon bands with pom-
pons in these colors finished with
Diack floss.
FABRICS FOR FALL
SUGGEST ELEGANCE
Taffeta, Adorned With Metal
Ste Pavcrels
‘The new silks for fall suggest the
age of elegance, what with their lux:
urlous surfaces, rich colors and un-
usual weaves.
Reflection of the new national op-
timism may be seen In the clothes to
be worn this fall—sumptuous, glitter:
ing fabrics, gold and silver encrusted,
cut on lines of simple swank.
‘Among the new silk fabrics to be
used for street and formal dresses
this fall, one of the most important
fs the taffeta with a metal check oF
stripe. A deep rust-colored taffeta, for
instance, is cross-barred in gold, mak-
Ing a stunning fabric for the dressy
biouse or the dinner dress.
‘Then there is a new material called
Taffacord, which looks like silk cor-
duroy at ten paces, but which Is real-
ly just a sleek ribbed crepe. It Is ef-
fective In mocha brown.
A slik that looks like sheer woolen,
In a shell-like weave, is called shado-
fleur, and is striking in bright green,
either for sports frocks or for dinner
gowns. It drapes beautifully, tailors
swell, and has the dull surface that
Jooxs like wool.
STYLE NOTES
And now comes noiseless taffeta.
Blouses are in bright contrasting
colors.
Slits and slashes vary narrow
straight skirts,
Belted at front, loose at back, is
new coat decree,
Contrasting sleeves register in
early fall frocks.
Accent is on the fur-trimmed
velvet suit with rich lame blouse.
Velvet swagger coat with match-
ing velvet beret 1s important for
fall.
Simplicity
Smart clothes this fall will be
gadgetless, Simplicity is the big noise,
with clothes depending on fit and fab-
rie for thelr distmetion. Lingerie
touches at neck and cuff are out.
Tailored Blouses
Blouses are more important than
ever this fall, both the tailored styles
to wear with tweeds and the formal
fashions for wear with dressmaker
sults of velvet and broadcloth.

and the beauty of the state, 1 de
hot see now It could be surpassed.”
The Ohio exhibit ts distinetive in
the fact that it aims to present the
charm of the state without trying
te promote anything, As one en-
ters a huge illuminated map of the
state strikes his eye. It is the cen-
ter piece. The map Is divided inte
1002 squares about four inches on
aside. At the side of the map Is
an Index and a system of push:
buttons. A persor can locate his
or her home tovn, or any art, in
dustrial or educational point in the
state in the index, push the num-
bered button, anu the square con:
taining the point is Hluminated.
Surrounding the map and high
up on the walls are a series of oil
paintings by William Mark Young.
In ensemble they are titled, “The
Dreams of Ohio Fioneers.” In the
separate pictures they present a
twofold view of the Ohio scene—
the ambition of the pioneer and the
realization of today. The pictures
are: “The Pioneer's Dream,” “Ed-
ucation,” “Farming,” “Grain,” "Cat-
tle Ralsing,” “Manufacturing,”
“Coal and Heat,” “Rall ‘Transpor-
tation,” “Agriculture,” “Water
‘Lransportation,” “Electricity,”
“ll,” “Pottery” and “Air ‘Trans-
portation.”
‘The beauty of the paintings ean
be contemplated in serene leisure
from thirty-four settees built of
native Ohio black walnut and cov-
ered with hook rugs of distinctive
design. Each of the settees car
ries, in modest letter ng, a legend
commemorative o: a historic Incl
dent in the career of the state. The
settees and the paintings are to
have permanent home after the
Century of Progress closes, in the
public buildings of Ohio.
Harking, back, and yet with a
prophetic eye, the foreword to the
Ohio exhibit reads:
“Back of all progress in human
affairs must lie semeone's dream—
a constant and determined vision
for the days and years ahead.
“Without undue heroics as to her
pioneers, Ohio takes pleasure in
honoring the men and the women,
who, through frugalities, hardships
and frequent suffering, led early
America onward,
“May we of today face our prob-
lems of the future with an equal
fortitude.”

to Governor White is Charles F.
