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
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

Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application.
TOLEBD.—Dr. Eugene Clark, Ed. Edward Washington, Dempsey Humble and Lafayette Harding were recently elected members of the Democratic executive committee of this (Lucas) county. There are 13 Afro-American members of the Democratic county central committee and one on the executive committee of the Republican party here. Local so-called Democrats of color are girding their jobs to make the fight of their lives, this fall, because local leaders are denying proper recognition—Mr. Arthur Letridge has returned from the hospital after a successful operation. Theo, Crocker was fatally injured in an auto accident.—Mrs. Mary Castle, an old resident and member of Warren A. M. E. church for fifty years, died in St. Vincent hospital, recently.—Mr. and Mrs. J.

THE CEDAR "Y" READY!
Completely Refurnished and Decorated for the Cleveland "Y" Anniversary Celebration in October.
Our people of Cleveland, as well as the members of the other race will have an excellent opportunity to see a tastefully decorated and entirely renovated Cedar branch, YM C. A., when they visit the institution during the week of Oct. 14-20 for the Cleveland "Y" eightieth anniversary celebration
For several months the refurbishing work has progressed under the direction of Captain Charles E. Frye, executive secretary, with the able assistance of Mrs. Myrtle Case and Dr. Wm. P. Saunders. The entire interior has been tastefully painted, empty rooms have been refurbished and utilized, and the dormitory lounge converted into a cozy reading or writing nook with a complete set of chairs, desks and lamps. The basement and recreation rooms will contribute a pleasant surprise to patrons, for rearrangement and decoration have contributed enormously to their appearance. The anniversary Celebration, Friday, October 19, will be a famous Cedar Branch Open House with inspection tour of activities and a beautiful pageant as a climax. The first floor, as yet not finished, will be complete for that night.
RACE AND NATIVITY
While 273,659 prisoners were committed to county and municipal penal institutions during the first half of the year 1933, information as to race and nativity was reported for only 240,930. Of this number, 151,158 or 62.7 percent, were native white; 24,717, or 10.3 percent, were foreign-born white; 55,038, or 22.8 percent, were Negro; and 10,017, or 4.2 percent, were of other races.—U. S. Ceneus.

A
ON WHAT'S DOING
Do not fail to read the Quincy and Fountain theater advertisements elsewhere in this paper and patronize them. Their pictures are good, the theaters are neat, clean, cool and comfortable, and courteous treatment is always accorded patrons. Then, too, they ask your patronage thru the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Watch for their advertisements, each week. They have great shows, next week.
Where, O, WHERE! were "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman Payne, Bundy and Civil Service Commissioner George), and Councilman Hubbard, that they did not even ask Mayor Harry L. Davis for representation for our people on the Republican campaign committee of ten persons he appointed. Wednesday? Our vote constitutes nearly one-third of the entire land and they make absolutely no effort to get us that much-needed committee representation. What do YOU think of that?
Several weeks ago, Councilman Finkle and Atty, Alex, Bernstein, Republican leader in Ward 12, secured the transfer of Supt. Vant Pelt of the Portland-Outwashte Center to the Utilities dept. of the city and replaced him with Mr. Gambble who was in charge of athletics, etc., at the Center. The latter is especially fitted for the superintendency, it is said. The lack of this is what caused the very general demand of our people that a change in the superintendency be made. The belated, this is a wise and very proper move. Only it should have been made months ago.
From now until election, it seems that St. James Forum is to be occupied principally by candidates for office. We must in all sincerity offer our sympathy to its audiences. Few forum groups are so patient before such a heavy gas attack of blandishments and empty promises. The Rounder merely asks forum attendants to be more critical of speakers in the future than ever befor. These are catastrophic days. Make yourresseekers do not swallow a normal line of nonsense about "a wonderful people" and "how much I love them." Forum officials, for their part, should not be so ready to prevent telling queries from being put from the floor. This does not happen often but we knw of and have seen occasions when the censorship was entirely out of place. No people can grow on a diet of mush. Our people must be critical of politicians especially.
In This Country Predicted by an English Scientist—Bound to Come.
New York City.—An Associated Press dispatch from Aberdeen, Scotland, recording the proceedings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, quotes Lord Raglan, chairman of the Anthropological Society to the effect that the black and white races in America will merge into one.
"I believe," he told the scientists, "that before many centuries have elapsed there will not be a single person in America without a certain portion of 'Negro' blood."
Lord Ragland said many people in the United States who believe themselves to be white would "find what they didn't expect to find" if they visited their ancestral homes in Georgia.
AMALGAMATION
DR. MATTHEW LUCKIESH
Executive Committee, Sight Saving
Council of Cleveland
Under modern conditions of living, human eyes are much used under unnatural conditions which are damaging to eyesight, according to studies in the science of seeing made by Dr. Matthew Lucklesh for the Sight Saving Council of Cleveland. Literally as well as figuratively, who for over fifty percent of the population of Greater Cleveland have defective vision and need attention and probably correction for their eyes. This defective vision is almost as high in the schools and colleges and the need for organized and scientific and social action to preserve human eyesight is as great as the need for such human welfare movements as those to provide prenatal care, to reduce infant mortality, to predicate and tuberculosis, to prevent occupational diseases. The Sight Saving Council, of which the superintendents of the school systems of Greater Cleveland are members, plans an extensive campaign this month in the county.
DOINGS OF THE RACE
Ohio N. A. A. C. P. branches will hold their fifth annual conference at Canton, Oct. 6 and 7.

SEES U. S. IN LEAGUE.
Haitian Delegate Says Roosevelt Action in Latin-American Affairs Creates Hope.
Geneva. Switzerland. — President Roosevelt's political roadway leads the United States logically to membership in the League of Nations (Notions), Constantia Mayard, Haitian delegate, told the League assembly, last week Friday night. In an address which diverted minds of delegates from European political controversies, Mayard praised the American executive for his action in removing marines from Haiti.
"A new era of confidence has come to Latin America," he asserted, "as the result of Roosevelt's comprehension."
The Roosevelt attitude toward the problems of Halti, Cuba and Nicaragua constitutes the milestones leading to Geneva, Mayard said, "That is our fervent hope," he added.
County authorities investigating the death of a woman of the race found murdered in Pepper Plike Vage, early Monday morning, doubted that the crime grew out of policy racket warfare. The victim was Mary James age 23, a cook in a Superior restaurant. The slain woman, whose body was discovered in a ditch along Bolling Brook Rd, about 1000 feet from Lander Rd., was identified by Miss Margaret Smith of 2191 E 78th St.

Incorporated companies may find in the Congo important returns for their capitals, and this is all right; but, Belgium is more than a financial concern; Belgium is a moral entity, and we will forift our mission to help the Congo in the care of the welfare of the natives, if we fail to assist them with an agricultural revival of the immense territory for which we are responsible to history and to humanity. —Leopold, Duke of Brabant (Leopold III) in speech before Belgium
Of course, the Congo is a Crown Colony; there has never been much that of self-government in that region. On the other hand, the City of New York is (or should be) the greatest city of our American democracy. The people are supposed to govern themselves here. And yet, it has been infrequent in the history of this opulent city for its Mayor to feel and to act on the basis that the City of New York is a moral entity. The institution of Mayor LaGuardia is exceptionally gratifying to all who have the progressive welfare of the people of our City really at heart. His interest in the welfare of all the people, rather than of any small part of them, is beyond any question. He has selected for the various departments under his direction the very ablest men and women he could attract and in every case without any regard whatever to political consideration. The influence of his spirit be the key to the success of the City Government over which he has control. He has shown abounding energy, indomitable courage, absolute fidelity to his trust. Municipal reformers have frequently referred to the "Negro" element as an inevitable source of danger to good government. An exertion is Murray Seasongood, the greatest Mayor Cincinnati ever had; he has taken the position based on his own observation and experience that this element is as educable in municipal ethics as any similar element in the situation. In the case of LaGuardia when the city recently came to Harlem to go afoot in front of the funeral cortege of a deceased colored valet of his, it is only fair to say that he enjoys the full
The Little Hero Who Lost His Life in an Effort to Save His Italian Pal.
Wilbur Gardner, age 13, 2418 Woodland Ave., died a hero, last week Wednesday, when he tried to save the life of his little Italian pal, Tony Lascala, age 14, from being drowned in Lake Erie. But heroes are quickly forgotten. The Lascala lad was buried, last week Friday, but the body of Wilbur remained in a funeral parlor where hundreds view-
ed the body. Wilbur's parents were too poor to bury him and save the body from a grave in "Potter's Field." Friends have been calling at the four-room suite of the family since the boy was drowned. Hearing of its difficulties, they have contributed money, even a few pennies at times. Saturday the family had $16. Funeral expenses were estimated at $75. Gifts of sympathizers made possible the lad's burial, Monday. Sixty dollars of the necessary $75 was donated, Sunday.
Mrs. Ora L. Reeder, E. 46th St., will leave on the 28th for a month's visit with a brother and sister at her old home in Jacksonville, Fla. She expects to return. Nov. 6.

moral support of the overwhelming masses of the voters of Harlem. Many of our people have known him personally in the years that have passed and they have all as individuals found him absolutely free of race or color, even not black. He is not or black citizen or white citizen. As illustrated in the admi-
PETER H.
able appointment of Hubert T. Dellany (salary, $10,800) to the Board of Taxes and Assessments, the Mayor looks beyond a man's racial affiliation or religious bias or social connection to his specific qualification to do the work that the city requires. It is highly probable that altho several of the mayors of New York City have been very friendly toward our people in Harlem, not one of them has ever had such a sympathetic and understanding grasp of our situation as he. It used to be said that Harlem is a twilight zone so far as the city government is concerned. That will never be under Mayor LaGuardia either in respect of police protection, street cleaning, public education, what not. No reform law America has ever had more complete devotion from the voters of his city.—Roscoe Conkling Bruce in The Dunbar News, N. Y. City.
"Beat 'Uncle Sam' To It" by Promptly Leaving the Country—Kennedy's Trust Fund and Business Enterprises.
Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I.—Joseph Kennedy, the Boston garageworker who won $150,000 in the summer of 1931 as the holder of a winning ticket on the Irish Sweepstakes, is here with his family, living as becomes his wealth. He is not throwing it away, either.
The U. S. law requires that all winners in foreign lotteries share with that government—about one-third of the amount won. When "Uncle Sam" voted, they want to relieve Kennedy of about $50,000 his fortune, they were greatly chagrined to learn that he was on the high seas bound for Jamaica, his wife and family having preceded him by many days. This is their native home. When they arrived, they were welcomed like some returning hero from a great war, so pleased were the Jamaicans over his out-witting "Uncle Sam."
Mrs. Kennedy is also shrewd. She has induced her husband to create a $50,000 trust-fund for her and their children. He has established himself as a successful businessman has purchased a controlling interest in a prosperous department store.
SWALLOWED SAFETY PINS!
New York City.—Willett Jackson, age 19, "safety pin king," from Atlanta, was taken to Bellevue hospital for observation, Tuesday. Jackson, charged with soliciting alms, offered to remove one of the thousand safety pins stuck in his overcoat and swallow it. The judge asked Dr. David I. Arbuse to examine the defendant. Anxious to please, the man swallowed a razor blade and several safety pins topping them off with bits of a broken bone. "I'm the safety pin king," Jackson explained, "I'm a mystic, too. I make 15 bucks a day doing that. Does that sound like I'm crazy?"

GOV. HERBERT LEHMAN.
The governor of New York state is Herbert Lehman, a friend of President Roosevelt and a supporter of the New Deal. When his daughter lost her dog, Lehman ordered the state police to aid in search of the animal. When Paul Smith, age 21, a member of the race, who had escaped from a Georgia chain-gang, was apprehended recently in New York state Gov. Lehman did nothing to prevent his return to the southern hell, altho he (Lehman) decorates the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. When a bedraggled Italian woman murdered her husband, Lehman permitted the woman and her two accomplices to go to the electric chair, even the husband was a brute. The triple execution sickened the warden of Sing Sing, but Lehman expressed himself as satisfied. When farmers in northn New York state sought higher prices for milk, the Governor used the clubs of his state constabulary, instead of human intelligence, to settle matters. Lehman, "the friend of the race," is typical of the New Deal, a colossal political humbug.
STIRRING UP TROUBLE.
Certain eminent churchmen, who should have read enough history to understand the consequences, are deliberately attempting to stir up racial and religious strife in the United States. This is a bold statement but the facts warrant the charge. One clergyman tries to quiet dissatisfied Afro-Americans, who are tired of lynchings and discrimination, by informing them at an interracial religious gathering, that there will be equality in heaven. Another goes out of his way to attack the Jews, hoping thereby to arouse the gullible and prevent them from worrying about food and jobs. We would suggest to these scheming clericals that they read the history of Mexico, Spain, France and Russia. When religion joins the side of extreme reaction, religion is doomed. Spreading hatred will not fill the collection box indefinitely.
HARLEM AND PARIS RESORTS.
It looks very much as if Mayor LaGuardia of New York City is the ideal chief executive, at least from our (race) viewpoint. Recently, a group of officials of the French Line (ocean steamers) called upon Mr. LaGuardia and told him that they wanted to see "a typical 'Negro' resort in Harlem" or "a dive." To which the mayor bluntly replied that Harlem (so-called "Negro" section of New York City) was no more "typical of life among New York 'Negroes' than are resorts, to which gullible (particularly American) visitors to Paris are taken, typical of life among the people of France. It is really refreshing to learn of an official of the other group (race) brave and manly enough to speak as Mayor LaGuardia did in the instance referred to. Those officials of the French Lines sure received a much-needed lesson.
"BLOCKHEADS!"
The South and the "Negro" have been the blockheads of national policies and will continue to be as long as they remain solid.—Kelly Miller, former dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C.
We do not recall a bigger "blockhead" than Miller proved to be, remaining a member of the faculty of Howard University after others had left, when President Durkee (white) was whipping "their posteriors until it was impossible for them to sit down without pain." And all because of baneful race prejudice, if memory serves us correctly.
There are many and very good reasons why loyal "Negroes" with self and race respect cannot join the Democratic party which is dominated by the race's bitterest enemies in the
South. Their support of individual Democrats, who have proven good friends of the race, does not require nor does it justify membership in the Democratic party.
The "blockheads" among our people are those who urge them to make the great mistake of joining the party of Cole Blease, Tom Heflin and their kidney.
Like a phoenix, the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice has risen from its ashes. It is back again, howling louder than ever, trying to put the clock of civilization back a few generations. Miss Leona Marie Esch, chief howler for the criminal justice society, is now shouting for the abolition of paroles. Faced with the problem of more crime as a result of growing poverty and unemployment, Miss Esch and her wealthy, reactionary supporters have nothing better to offer than a plea for longer sentences and more prisons. Clarence Darrow sized up the association correctly when he stated in Cleveland that criminal justice bodies exist by scaring rich people. And leave it to Miss Esch to do the frightening. She surely knows how to raise the blood pressure of the gentlemen with hardened arteries who take her shouts with any degree of seriousness. While unemployment grows, crime will increase. And the abolition of paroles will do no more than brutalize our victims of a decadent society who get caught in the law's net. We give Miss Esch credit for knowing all this privately. But a job is a job. In order to hold hers, Miss Esch must keep on shouting. The Gazette suggests to the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice that it seek the underlying causes of poverty. We advise Miss Esch to find time to read "Criminality and Economic Conditions," by Prof. Bonker of the University of Amsterdam, Holland. We give her credit for possessing sufficient intelligence to understand what she reads. Unfortunately, we cannot say as much for all the gentlemen and ladies who contribute from their swollen fortunes to pay her salary.
SINCERE THO BELATED
Congratulations on "The Old Reliable" Gazette's Entrance Upon Its Fifty-Second Year of Continuous Publication, Every Week on Time.
Springfield, O., Sept. 7, '34.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.
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, the lateness, it is rare indeed that any journal can boast of such 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 everlasting 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. The resurge of "jim-crowism" among our intelligence 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 achievements and achievements and best wishes for a long and successful future I am
SCORES OUR COUNCILMEN
The Pilgrim Baptist Ministers' Conference in Session, Recently, Severely Criticises Issues, Payne, Bunny and Humboldt— Time for Action.
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 to their feeling, that the morale of our people in Cleveland is being greatly lowered by the faithless and inactive attitude taken by our three council members when any measure of importance to come for them is presented. The council 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, and not a word is said when scores of firemen 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 seat in the city. Those 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? No indeed! We believe it time to heed the words of the Holy Prophet: "Put out from-among us those workers of iniquity."

Japs Surprise Americans
Japs Surprise Americans.
The Japanese athletes are giving the world-touring American athletes a "pain and a headache." Recently in Tokio, a leading Jap spinner beat the great Glen Cunningham or second great Jap, who, in another Japs won the high-jump, javelin throw, 500-meter run, and the broad-jump, and came within one point of winning the final compilation of points. Ralph Metcalfe remains unbeaten, winning the 200-meter race in 20.2 seconds. The fact that the Japanese have developed good distance men makes the possibility of the balance of power resting with the sprinters. In that case the burden will rest on the shoulders of three Afro-Americans in the approaching Olympic contests, Ralph Metcalfe of Minnesota, Jesse Owens of Oklahoma, and Cornelius Porks of Temple University. The last two youths are just 21 years of age, but have been going great guns since their high school days.

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 truthfully 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 McNells, but, when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, thru half a century, puts his race foremost in his life, taking of my hat to him, being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette.
John P. Green.
(Former Member, Ohio State
Senate.)
IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEN
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 white supremacy 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 not worthy of self-respect and have no '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 title of their race to resist morial and forever resist de-land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Wm. Monroe Trotter in The Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

Capt. Allan Innes-Taylor and two of the dogs that will take us to the Queen Maud Mountains, 500 miles away.
Every now and then Barney Oldfield, famous racing driver, who heads a group of "Hell Drivers" on the Chrysler track at the World's Fair, takes it into his head to give the throngs an extra thrill and makes his car turn completely over while he is driving it. This is but one of the exciting stunts staged by the "demon" driver for the delight and edification of the spectators. He will do them for the last time, October 31, when the gates of A Century of Progress close forever.
LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTIC CA, Sept. 4 (via Mackay Radio)—Labor Day was a real labor day with us. We labored from early in the morning until late at night at our work of getting ready for the tractor and dog sledge trips to the Queen Maud Mountains and the airplane flights of exploration we shall be taking in a month or so from now.
When I am not working on the tractors I am very busy assisting Stevenson Corey, of Winchester Mass, our supply officer, in addition to my normal work with the aviation gang. My work with Harold June, Bill Bowlin, Paul Swan and Bill McCormack, the autogiro pilot from Lansdowne, Pa., has been extremely interesting. All the air craft are being overhaul and prepared for big things in November. The engines were found in surprisingly good condition. The gasoline tanks have been cleaned and inspected and the overhaul work should be completed by September 10. This morning some of the crowd returned from the Bay of Whales Alton Wade, geologist, from West Hollywood, Calif., had his face and hands badly frostbent when he was hauling a sledge in the face of a strong wind at from 40 to 50 degrees below zero. They didn't find any seals this time but Paul Sliple and others have discovered some and we are trying to find out now if they stay here all winter or go away as we thought.
You remember, last week I told you about a fast new game I have developed and recommended that you try it some time when you want to commit suicide. Here's the dope, Bernard Skinner, of Winthrop, Me, who is called "Rip" because he is a well known parachute jumper, and I took out a sledge and a parachute the other day and decided to do some experimenting in "parachute transportation." George Grimminger, our assistant meteorologist, from Washington, D. C., joined us. We trekked up to the Barrier where the wind was blowing about 25 miles per hour. We fastened the parachute to the sledge and pulled the rip cord. Did we take off! I'll say we did! Grimminger couldn't get on the sledge in time and was left behind. After about 30 yards Skinner was thrown off and I was
left alone on the sledge skimming over the ice at a speed which I am willing to swear was 60 miles an hour. The ice was darn fast, too fast for comfort.
My flashlight had dropped out of my hand and there was I skimming along the hard packed snow at terrific speed in utter darkness. Some thrill! Secretly I can tell you I was scared to death. But not for long, fortunately we all carry sheath knives. With a few slashes I cut the chute loose and eventually the sledge came to a stop, Skinner and Grimminger ran up all excited and breathless. In the gloom they had vaguely seen the chute fly loose and they thought I was attached to it. We found the parachute several hundred yards further along on the snow and salvaged it. But you can bet that we will equip the sledge with brakes before we try this new game again, which we expect to do shortly. If this idea appeals to you try it out next winter. You may break your neck but I guarantee you will have a new thrill.
Every day the sun is visiting us for a longer period and we are beginning to get accustomed to the light after the long months of total darkness. I never knew light was so important. Our dispositions are beginning to improve and I expect that when the sun is with us 24 hours a day we shall again be a happy little family.
Admiral Byrd is improving constantly after the weakness caused by his long isolation and the fumes from his stove. He is still out there in his hut with Dr. Poulter, Pete Demas and Amory Wathe but we expect him to return here some time within the next month to start the big exploration activities we came down here to perform. I expect to be able to tell you some very exciting things from now on, so if you have not yet joined our club now is a swell time to do it. There is no charge whatever for membership, nor for the big working map of the South Polar regions and membership card. Simply send a clearly self-addressed, stamped envelope to me 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 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 at least once a year, 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.
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 "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. (v3. 91. 12. 1)
A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (v3. 91. 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 in which the lynching occurred.
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, from the county in which such assault is made; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6232 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, the next of kin be distributed among the next of kin according to the law 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 person v. 162
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 costs of action, in the next succeeding tax law 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 lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and cost of the lynching, and representatives of a person killed 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, 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 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of a farm, restaurant eating house, barber shop, 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 or more, and 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, as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under 14, in the courts.

Senator John P. Green gave a very interesting talk at the Glencove Garden club's Flower Show, Sept. 9, at Mrs. Madeline Early's home. The fact that this item was not noted in our issue of last week was due to an oversight on the part of the club's publicity representative and not to an error on the part of The Gazette.
Andrew S. Kubu, city recreation commissioner, and Councilman Lawrence O. Payne spoke for the Tenth Ward Republican club, last week Friday night, in Morgan Hall, E. 40th St. and Cooper Ave. Kubu discussed "Communism in" while Payne spoke on "Matters of Special Interest in City Government."

They have "kept company" for several years.
Two suits asking for total damages of $25,000 have been filed in Common Pleas Court by Mrs. Lizzie Perry and her husband, Chappell Perry, 4511 Scovill Ave., against Benny Mason, E. 46th St. The petition alleges that on or about Aug. 11, 34, the defendant (Benny Mason), the defendant, acting within his scope of employment without just cause or provocation, maliciously and unlawfully assaulted, struck and beat Lizzie Perry.
Atty. Geo. C. Dissette calls attention to the fact that Cleveland has a $1,000,000 "forgotten park." Forest Hill Parkway, which lies between E. 100th and E. 11th Sts., from the N. Y. Central Railroad, from the N. Y. Central Ave. by its city offices, was dowed by citizens, years ago, and then apparently forgotten by the city. Mr. Dissette, a member of the committee appointed by Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who spent five years obtaining parcels of land for this park from thirty owners, is again trying to get action from the city authorities who long ago should have made a beautiful park out of the land for the use of the people of this city and county.

The Word, "Negro."
We colored Americans' worst present blunder is use of the word, Negro, as a race name. It is useful in imbuing the idea of white people with the fool idea that we are Americans, and not fully human beings. — Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter in the Boston Guardian.
Something Wrong!
There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-American citizens, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

Cacao Beans Are Cleaned by Shuffling Feet in Brazil.
Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington D. C. - WNU Service
O (O) (O) (O) USA lst Chocolate cake? or chocolate ice cream sodas?
Then you'll be interested in the news that science is waging a determined fight to save the famous cacao plantations of Trinidad, an island in the West Indies, from a destructive plant disease.
Trinidad is one of the principal sources of the bean which furnishes "the makings" for a hot beverage surpassed in world importance only by coffee and tea, as well as for candies, sweetmeats, etc.
Chocolate is a gift to man's palate from the western hemisphere. Like tobacco, the potato, and a number of other plant products, it was taken back to Europe by explorers soon after Columbus opened the road to the New world, and launched on the way that has led to world markets.
In trade circles today three terms are used: chocolate, cocoa and cacao. The tropical tree which is the source of chocolate is called the cacao. In its leathery, cucumberlike fruit are cacao pods which contain cacao beans. But when the beans are roasted and ground, and much of the fat is pressed out, the remaining brown substance (ground to a dry powder), is cocoa. If the fat is not pressed out, the darker substance is chocolate.
Credit for the manufacture of chocolate from the hidden seed of an unprepossessing fruit belongs to the original inhabitants of Mexico. In 1519, when Hernando Cortez invaded that country, he discovered that the cacao tree was widely cultivated. The natives had concocted a drink called "chocolatii" or "cacahuatl," from which have come the names "chocolate" and "cocoa." Frothing pitchers of chocolate were served by Montezuma when he entertained Cortez.
Long in Use in Mexico.
Students of American native customs have estimated that the drink was in use 1,000 years before the arrival of Europeans. According to Mexican mythology, the seed of the cacao tree was carried from a New world version of the Garden of Eden into Mexico by Quetzalcoatl, God of Air. The fruit, it is related, was a favorite food of the gods. The great Swedish botanist Linnaeus, christened the fruit theobroma cacao, meaning in Greek "Food of the Gods."
Cacao was used as a means of burter and the payment of tribute by the Aztecs and Mayans. A man's wealth was often judged by the number of cacao beans he possessed. In Mexico a good slave could be purchased for 100 beans.
Its highly concentrated food value, low cost of production, and numerous uses, have stimulated cacao cultivation to such an extent that now it is grown in practically all tropical countries. The wet tropical areas of the West African colonies of Great Britain and Portugal, and the South and Central America are especially well suited to the cultivation of the trees. The introduction of the cacao tree in Africa has resulted in a remarkable growth of the industry and economic development of the continent. The Gold coast has taken first place away from Brazil in the world's production of cacao. What were once trackless and useless African jungles, inhabited only by savage bushmen and wild animals, today are cacao plantations, operated for the most part by natives.
America Largest Consumption
As an international commodity, the cacao bean has grown in importance to such an extent that the United States alone, in 1933, imported 474,270,000 pounds, valued at $18,739,000. The United States is by far the largest consumer, cacao ranking sixteenth in value on our list of imports. Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands follow in the order named.
For many years the Spaniards of South America and of some of the West Indies monopolized the cacao industry. Chocolate was introduced into Spain by Cortez and his conquistadores about the beginning of the Sixteenth century, but the process of chocolate manufacture was kept a secret for almost 100 years. In 1606 an Italian discovered the method of preparation. Shortly afterwards, monks and travelers spread the news throughout Europe. The Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries found the popularity of the drink steadily increasing. Cocoa houses were established in England, as well as on the continent.
Chocolate, however, was a luxury which only the rich could afford, since it sold for as much as 5 a pound. Today good chocolate can be purchased for a few cents a pound, and is consumed in one form or another by millions of people the world over.
Modern methods of cocoa and choco
late manufacture differ little from those used by primitive people centuries ago. In Mexico the natives roasted the beans and then ground them between two warm flat stones until a fine paste was obtained. This was sometimes mixed with maize (corn) and flavored with vanilla and spices. The paste was molded into forms desired and allowed to cool. Modern preparation of the commodity is more scientific and thorough, but the principal steps taken are much the same.
Cocoa butter is an important byproduct of the cacao bean, which contains 50 per cent fats. The butter, removed by crushing the beans under hydraulic pressure, is extensively used in confectionery, and in pharmaceutical preparations. Almost every household has some commodity that contains this vegetable fat. Cocoa butter is an ingredient of many soaps, pomades, perfumes, ointments, plasters, and cosmetics.
The Gold coast colony in Africa is normally the world's largest producer of cacao. In one recent year the colony shipped 54,400 tons of cacao, valued at $10,000,000, to the United States.
While the Gold coast no longer puts its trust in gold, cacao has displaced the metal only within the last few years. For 400 years gold was the hope that glittered for white men on the Gold coast. Gold mines built the railroad to Secondee, for which Takoradi is the port. In 1924 gold shipments reached more than $4,000,000, but the mines seem to be nearing exhaustion. A geological survey of the Gold coast colony in 1915 revealed other minerals which may themselves relegate gold to the background. Manganese and bauxite are important exports. The first is used in steel making and the second for aluminum.
Big Industry in Brazil.
In the state of Bahia in Brazil are about 80,000,000 cacao trees; this fruit has been grown here for about 150 years, and a tiny railway serves the heart of the great cacao region. It hauls more tons of freight per mile than any other railway line in South America.
Leaving the coastal plain and entering the foothills, one sees the cacao plantations in long shaded groves. Among bigger, protecting trees the small cacao trees are planted, thus sheltered from sun and wind. Twist off a green fruit, break it open and taste the whitish seeds; the flavor is like watermelon. Barefoot men and women split the pods, empty the seeds on a wide platform, and tread them free of pulp and pip. They call this "Dancing the Cacao."
The seeds are dried by stirring them in a big flat bin. A wide roof, set on wheels, is at hand, to be hastily hauled over the bin if it rains. Turning a dark brown when dried, and tasting of unsweetened chocolate when ripe, the beans are packed in bags and sent to Europe and the United States. In 30 years Bahia's export has risen from 150,000 to 1,200,000 bags a year. Brazil drinks very little chocolate, but much coffee.
Near a station named "Lava Pes," or "Wash Your Feet," the visitor may stop to watch a long file of umbrella ants. Each carries a leaf, as if it were an umbrella. Many ants are up in a tree, biting off bits of leaf and dropping them to other ants waiting on the ground. This line of marching ants is often a mile or more long. The ants carry the leaves to their underground home, and store them. On the leaves a fungus forms, and this the insects eat.
Farther up the line one crosses a small stream running among cacao-covered hills. Long chutes made of boards run down the hillsides to the water's edge. Down these chutes natives slide fresh cacao beans, which empty into waiting dugout canoes. Although cacao has been grown here for so long, the methods of harvesting it are still primitive, for human labor is cheap.
White men find life here hard, because of so many insects and malaria. Bugs are a plague; horned tumble-bugs more than seven inches long—larger than many kinds of birds, snails weighing half a pound, and the fer de lance and other bad snakes.
Legend of the Passion Flex
**Legend of the Passion Flower**
The legend of the passion flower follows: The leaf symbolizes the spear; the five anthers, the five wounds; the tendrils, the cords or whips; the column of the ovary, the pillar of the Cross; the stamens, the hammers; the three styles, the three nails; the fleshy threads within the flower, the crown of thorns; the calyx, the glory or nimbus; the white tint, purity; and the blue tint, heaven.

Frocks for College-Going Girls
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
WHEN it comes to thrills for the college girl who is selecting her going-away-to-school frocks it is the
WHEN it comes to thrills for the college girl who is selecting her going-away-to-school frocks it is the stunning new and versatile materials which cause hearts to beat faster.
To be sure there is everything imaginable to be had in the way of super-hue buttons, and other clever gadgets together with most beguiling neck wear fantasies to help out when occasion demands, but in the main it's the garment which speaks in terms of handsome material along lines of studied simplicity which wins the highest number of credits.
There is that about the woolens and silks and velvets and synthetic weaves as shown this season which is so intrinsically decorative and satisfying to the eye, little or no frills or furbelows seem to be required to accent the costumes they fashion. Which, no doubt, is the reason why advance fashions indicate that the college girl's wardrobe will, for the most part, be styled on the same smartly simple tailored lines favored by chic business women.
The model to the left in the picture is a dress of this type. The plaid chulla crepe which fashions it is in itself so attractive and self-sufficient, fussy dressmaker detail would detract from its "classy" simplicity. For service, for looks and for real joy in the wearing a crepe of this sort is ideal, and listen to this, ye coeds who needs must watch your budget with an eagle eye, these all-rayon crepe prints are easily washable and iron out smooth and lovely as if by magic—the problem of going back and forth to be dry cleaned is entirely done away with. This plaid (brown, egg-shell and rust is its color scheme) two-piece is cut on the now-so-voguish shirtmaker lines with a next grosgrain belt, bow tie and grosgrain-covered buttons (button links on the double cuffs) to set it off.
HIGH-STYLE ITEMS By CHERIE NICHOLAS
THE FASHION WEEKLY
Women who delight in veils can wear them to their heart's content, for they are decidedly in the fashion picture. Worn with just the right air, veils can be coquettish and glamorous and the newer veils have that way about them. The pointed contour of the veil pictured is a recent accent which will especially delight the young girl who takes delight in an air of sophistication. Lace slippers for evening match the lace frock. Padova, who created this exquisite type of footwear, has combined black lace and black satin in this model, with white satin under the lace to bring out the delicate patterning. A great vogue is in promise for this type of luxury footwear, this coming fall and winter.
Speaking of unusual materials, the dress centered in the group, so sophisticated in its simplicity, is made of, guess what—sports tulle. This fabric is so perfectly new it's the "last word." The claim to fame of this novel and very good-looking sports-tulle is based on the delightsome sheerness of its weave which together with the fact that it lends itself perfectly to simple lines and classic tailoring assures its prestige as a medium admirably adapted to wear at teas and bridge parties and other smart daytime gatherings. In this model, so simple yet so distinctive in its cut, Alix, who created it of sports-tulle in a black and white mixed effect, has certainly contrived to give the college girl or any young woman of fashion for that matter, the ideal all year-round afternoon dress.
A frock of satin and a frock of velvet should by all means be included in an up-and-going-places college girl's wardrobe. The new daytime satins are as practical as they are stunning in appearance, and so wonderfully slenderizing, fashioned as many of them are with sleek-fitting skirts slit at the hemline in order to give ease of movement. The model pictured to the right in the group is styled along girlish lines and with its jacket becomes a many-purpose costume which can be tuned at will to street or indoor afternoon wear. The treatment of the neckline is interesting, the collar being formed of loops of white velvet ribbon edged with black. In regard to velvet the big news is smart trimming suits with narrow skirts and neat-fitting jackets, the sort college girls simply adore.

FALL BRIDAL GOWN HAS HEAVY TRAIN
The trains on the new fall wedding gowns mean a heavy day's work for some bridal attendants. Nine or ten feet of shimmering satin will slither down the aisle behind the bride.
To dress the bride will be no small task, too, if she has chosen Germaine Montell's favorite wedding robe.
This designer has a penchant for trains, surpassed only by her love for frills and bows. This fall she gives women a chance to wear stiff white jabots that protrude four inches from severe black frocks. and "fish-tail" trains. She still likes them, although many designers have chopped them off. A pert little train for evening and a deep skirt slash in front.
Two-Piece Frock Is Due
for Popularity This Fall
Many of the daytime frocks beginning to appear just now contain more than a hint of the sartorial picture for the autumn.
Two-piece tunic frocks appear at the smartest places, many of them in silk, making it easy to visualize this fashion in woolens.
A typical advanced style frock is a two-piece tunic town model in beige silk.
The line is fairly severe but is softened by an enormous ruffled jabot cut from the dress fabric and pulled through a ring at the side of the neckline for fastening.
Long Sashes Wide Belts
Wide belts are used on the new fall sports clothes. And long, flowing sashes, tied in front, are shown on street and afternoon dresses.
Tortoise Shell Clips
Tortoise Shell Clips
Tortoise shell or crystal hemispheres rimmed and centered with gold make smart clips designed for winter frocks.

A "SANHEDRIN" MEETING—The care with which the Luther Translation of The Scriptures was made is evidenced by the fact that he called six Wittenburg University professors into weekly consultation. He referred to them as his "Sanhedrin." All were scholars of note. Colleagues from other schools were consulted also. Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Chaldalo and German entered into the discussions.
