Addressing Revs. Tuft and Howell president and secretary, respectively of the P. B. M. conference, Councilman Hubbard sent The Gazette a communication, under date Sept. 21 '34, which is far too long for public Councilman John E. Hubbard. cation at this time, in explanation of the fact that we had no representation among "the scores of firemen and policemen recently added to the The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Watch carefully the case of Mrs. Lonnie Brooks, mentioned elsewhere in this paper, and note the amount of assistance she and her attorney receive' from our three councilmen. Watch particularly the councilmanic investigation of the police connected with the affair which our councilmen should get, pronto. Councilman John E. Hubbard has introduced in City Council a resolution calling for an official investigation by Council's Safety committee of the Mrs. Lonnie Brooks outrage noted at length on the first page of this paper. Now, Mr. Hubbard, follow your resolution thru and see that proper results are obtained. Do not stop with its introduction. Your constituents want favorable RESULTS and not just weak efforts like those of the Woodland pool trouble, the past summer. Considerable comment was caused, week before last, when it was pretty generally noticed that the testimonial dinner tendered Mrs. Mary L. Forrest did not have among its speakers a single support for the candidacy of Hon. Clarence J. Brown, Mr. Brown was the only "Brown" speaker. This was undoubtedly an oversight and not intentional. Mayor Harry L. Davis announced, the first of the week, that Civil Service Commissioner Clayborne George would be named as a member of his campaign committee of ten of which Mr. Richard Harburger is the very efficient secretary of the party. Mr. Harburger is in Huron Rd. That gives our people representation on the committee they are entitled to. It is too bad, however, that someone other than George was not selected by the mayor. Even most of his former constituents in the 18th Ward have lost confidence in him. The Rounder well remembers George's announcement, soon after the mayor was sworn into office, to be expected or looking forward to representation in the mayor's cabinet. This of course was untrue and an absolutely unauthorized statement that many of our people will not soon forget. force with only one colored member included." Councilman Hubbard calls attention to his support of "Mr. Lynn Coleman, the only colored appointee," and very properly suggests that the ministers "criticize the young 'Negro' men of the city for their failure to qualify and get on the eligible list of the Civil Service department," and something they can only do as a result of the proper support of their councilmen. Speaking of his efforts as a result of the Woodland Hills Swimming Pool troubles, the past summer, Councilman Hubbard calls attention to the fact that he protested to the park and safety directors and to the mayor whom he says gave ample police protection after the second near-riot at the pool which caused our people in that section of the city to stay away from the season. The councilman says he is continuing his investigation to learn why more of our people are not employed at the City Hospital. THE SOUTH DESERTS ITS VERY OLD HOBBY "States' Rights," and Foists Federal Power Over Commonwealths, Says Congressman Bolton—Sixty New Bureaus. Congressman Chester C. Bolton, chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee, Sunday afternoon declared himself a believer in the doctrine of state's rights at St. James Forum, and quoted the words of Thomas Jefferson that government had best, which governs not. He told his audience there had been three political crises in the history of the country, one centering on the adoption of the Constitution Congressman Chester C. Bolton. and the guarantee of the state's powers, another on the Civil War and the question of succession, the third dealing with the present. "The crisis now before us," he said, "is to determine whether the states shall have rights and responsibilities or whether some income come from Washington thru delegations of power to a bureaucracy. Sees Legislative Power Cut. Ses Legislative Power Cut. "Because of the depression and the needs of relief we have looked to Washington for help and have forgotten the responsibilities of the state. It has become apparent that the legislative powers of Congress have been weakened for the last decade and the executive power is being increased. The NRA has power over industry. The AAA controls agriculture. We have government control of radio, telegraph, railroads, banking and the securities markets. Both parties in 1932 promised to cut down and co-ordinate the bureaus and departments. But today we have 60 new bureaus. Let me say in all fairness that it is necessary for the chief executive to delegate authority. Nevertheless, he has not only used the existing bureaus but has created 60 new ones. Do you realize that these authorities can issue orders which are not issued by laws and fine or imprison you for violation of those orders? I believe we cannot all be governed from Washington. I believe that government is best which governs least." TO BENEFIT ALL. "Will Take No Note of Race or Creed or Color," Says U. S. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, Talking on Housing Projects. Atlanta, Ga.—The Atlanta University housing project, first slum clearance and low-cost housing enterprise ever attempted by the federal government, was officially inaugurated, last Saturday, by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, in the presence of a vast gathering of Atlanta citizens and students of local colleges. "Our slum clearance program will take no note of race or creed or color," he said. "We are particularly glad that the requests from Atlanta for slum clearance have called for benefits for the entire population. It is only fitting that the city which has been a leader in inter-racial cooperation should insist that all parts of its population benefit from this new social venture. We know, from sad experience, that when one section or group of the population flourishes at the expense of others, it is not long before the whole country is the loser." We have learned that it is for the economic benefit of the whole country for all divisions of it to be prosperous; that discrimination against a section, a race, a religion or an occupation is harmful to the people as a whole and disturbing to any attempts to work out a balanced economy."

Central Police Station, City. Re: Mrs. May Brooks, 3892 E. 142D. My dear Chief Matwitz—On Saturday, Sept. 29, 34, at 9:10 p. m. Mrs. May Brooks purchased a theatre ticket to enter Mt. Pleasant Theatre, located at E. 131st St, and Kinsman Rd. While waiting in the lobby, Mrs. Brooks visited a young woman (white) hit my client and my client struck her back. Finally, the manager of said theater and two ticket-collectors, all white, entered the argument. These three knocked my client, Mrs. Brooks, down twice to the marble floor of said lobby, twisted her arms severely, the manager kicked her while she was lying on the floor, and all three of the men caused her body to be bruised generously. She used towards Mrs. Brooks, to the apparent delight of the entire crowd in the lobby composed entirely of "white" people. The manager called the 16th precinct station, the police came in about five minutes, and, during all this time, my client was being held on the floor by the two ticket-takers, and her arms were twisted in the presence of police officers who made light of the entire affair and no objection to this mis-treatment in the police station. I was arrested my client, made her walk to the patrol wagon without one shoe, and, after they got her in the wagon, told her that they had nothing against her but that they were going to see to it that a charge was placed against her anyhow. She was taken to the 16th precinct station, kept there for about one-half an hour and, under duress was compelled by the officers to sign a waiver charging her to pay the peace at the theatre. This young woman is respectable citizen in this community. She is only twenty-one years of age and happily married to Mr. Lonnie Brooks. I am respectfully requesting that you cause an immediate and full investigation of the entire situation. There is no question in my mind but what these statements are absolutely correct, and the cers was most reprehensible and Doings of the Race J.

I am sending a copy of this letter to the President of the City Council, and asking that it be referred to the proper committee for investigation. The chief police prosecutor, today, ordered Assistant Police Prosecutor Perry B. Jackson, to issue a warrant for the arrest of the three men and the warrant was issued. Won't you please be good enough to hear from you, with respect to this matter, at your earliest convenience. This is to advise that I represent Mrs. Brooks, a colored woman. This is the kind of mis-treatment our people have received in that section of the city for several summers whenever they sought to use the bathing pool there. AND WE HAVE HAD AND STILL HAVE, THREE "NEGRO" MEMBERS OF THE CLEVELAND CITY COUNCIL! (Payne, Bundy, George and Hubbard), Bundy, George and Hubbard warned our people of this community, and particularly "The Blossom Triplets" (Payne, Bundy and George), that that sort of mistreatment "fed upon itself" and would grow unless stopped by our councilmen whose clear duty it was to see that was done immediately. They apparently ignored the matter. So here is just what we predicted—a young woman of the race is knocked down and kicked and treated like a store and after a doctor arrives on the scene does not can justify such mistreatment of a WOMAN! Councilmen, police or others, even many of Payne and Bundy's city jobholders who are still taxed one dollar every two weeks (paydays), seem to have little or no respect for our mis-representatives in the City Council. Councilman Hubbard's weak gesture, after the pool trouble, the past summer, did not amount to anything as the police's attitude in Mrs. Brooks' case and the police the past summer was the same.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1934. It is reported that bad conduct in London, England, some months ago, of some of the members of Calhallow's band is making it hard for Afro-American performers now in that city. "Twas ever thus, it seems." The remainder of the Scottsboro boy-victims' trials have been postponed until the appeals on the Patterson and Norris cases are heard in the higher court. The "Victoria Price" charges of bribery were undoubtedly trumped up, in Huntsville Ala., by mendacious southern "crackers." --- Why did President Roosevelt repeatedly refer to "the white people of this country" in his radio speech, the first of the week? Is that one result of his long part-year residence in Georgia at Warm Springs? There are ten million colored people in this country, Mr. President! More loyal citizens do not live here. They are entitled to a larger mead of respect than your radio reference, referred to, indicates you possess. President Roosevelt recently appointed the U. S. consul at Addis Ababa, Abyssinia (officially designated as Ethiopia), and he was not an Afro-American. What's become of all the "Negro" Democrats? 'Can't one be found to be sent to Africa to represent this country in Abyssinia, populated and controlled by "Negroes"? Apparently, the President does not intend to recognize his party's "Negro" contingent. SECRETARY ICKES' STATEMENT Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes said, Saturday, in an address at Atlanta, Ga., and speaking for the Roosevelt administration: "Our slum clearance program will take no note of race, creed or color." take no note of race, creed or color." We certainly are glad to note this statement and hope it will prove to be correct. It should be remembered by all, particularly here in Cleveland where the Government is about to start its so-called "slum clearance program" in the Cedar-Central area. When completed and its houses and suites of rooms are for rent, we will have occasion to call on Secretary Ickes to back this statement to the limit. Original promoters in the city, who inaugurated the housing plans here and who are still consulted by Government officials in charge of the work, had no such intentions but openly stated their desire to get "a better class" of residents "from the edge of the city, adjoining the heights, to come down and occupy the houses and suites in the Cedar-Central area, replacing the poor Jewish, Italian and Colored people" now resident there. We will have need of Secretary Ickes' assistance alright, when the alleged housing project in the Cedar-Central area is finished and ready for tenants. Thrushout his splendid speech, in Atlanta last Saturday, inaugurating the great Atlanta University housing project, Secretary Ickes referred repeatedly to the fact that the federal government "is about to erect on these areas modern up-to-date houses that will be available to those in the lowest income classes." And this is just what those at the head of "Cleveland Housing, Inc." repeatedly told the people of this community could not be done. And they have done about all they can to keep the government from doing this very thing in the Cedar-Central area. We do not believe it is too late yet for leading representatives of the poor residents (Jews, Italians and Afro-Americans) in that area to contact Secretary Ickes and have the change made that will enable "lowest income classes" to rent or purchase homes in that area. It is worth a trial anyhow. Organize and see what can be done! Pay no at- tention to the discouraging talk of designing local individuals of any race or class. WINS $2,540. The government will start paying for sixty parcels of land in the Cedar-Central rehousing area, next week, out of a fund of $500,000 sent here from Washington, D. C., several weeks ago. Verdicts on seven parcels of property have been returned in recent weeks by juries in Federal Judge Paul Jones' court and about twenty more are pending. Among the verdicts, thus far, are: C. R. Plodeck, vacant parcel on E. 24th Place, $2,000; appraisal, $1,325. Plodeck's increase, as a result of his suit, is $675. Worthwhile, isn't it? Katherine Morris, E. 28th St. parcel, $2,538; appraisal $2,080. Increase, $458. Matilda J. Withycombe, parcel at Pine Ave. and E. 30th St., $4,500; appraisal $3,965. Increase, $535. Fred J. Brown, corner Cedar Ave. and E. 24th Place, $4,500; appraisal, $4,294. Brown's increase is $206. Not so bad, either, is it? Naomi Smith, Central Ave, parcel, $6,950; appraisal, $4,410. Miss Smith is a daughter of the late Jes. Smith, for many years the well-known Central Ave. barber. Her increase, as a direct result of her suit in U. S. court, is $2,540, and most encouraging indeed. Miss Smith is a member of the race. Naturally, The Gazette gets a world of satisfaction out of these and other successes of a like nature because for many months, it alone, of all the papers in this city, has continued to urge the people of the Cedar-Central area not to permit themselves to be taken advantage of by the greedy local real estate companies that have sought and are still seeking options on property in that and other "housing" areas of the city, on terms that are practically confiscatory. We sure rejoice with Miss Smith and the others over the very encouraging outcome of their suits against the Government, and, too, in one of its own courts. The increase of $2,540 in Miss Smith's case leads all others, up to date, and ought to be a splendid incentive to many others to do as she has done—fight hard for at least a fair price for their property—in many cases their life's savings and all they have left, these "economic depression" days. WARNING MR. BOHN! The Gazette is going to give Mr. Ernest Bohn a friendly piece of advice. Interest yourself. Mr. Councilman, in a real housing program, before you are regarded as a smooth politician anxious to ride high and far on a humbug relief scheme. Influential citizens and groups are getting ready to debunk your entire housing program. They are going to be aided by the real housing experts who stepped out of the housing reform scheme when they learned just how much of a racket was involved in the Cleveland program. Unemployed citizens, Mr. Bohn, are entitled to just as decent living quarters as the employed, when their jobless condition has not arisen thru any fault of their own. We have one or two municipal judges, Mr. Bohn, who have won soft jobs by bluffing the electorate. But times continue to grow worse, and there will be an end to the hokum. So get busy, Mr. Bohn, before the questions become embarrassing. That is, provided a politician can ever be really embarrassed. STATE N. A. A. C. P. CONFERENCE At Canton today and tomorrow, Oct. 6 and 7, the state conference of Ohio branches of the N. A. A. C. P. is being held. Since it has been in existence it has done nothing. No publicity ever reaches the race press. No victories have been accomplished. No intelligent program has ever been forthcoming. Yet the national office permits this imitation organization to remain in existence, disgracing every conscientious member of the N. A. A. C. P. anxious to do something to improve the status of the members of the race in Ohio. A real state organization will require funds, and the New York office cannot afford a division of a declining income. The manly act, therefore, is to urge the state branch to adjourn sine die. At the present time Secretaries Walter White and Wm. Pickens pretend to be friendly to President C. E. Dickinson's paper — state-organization but they do nothing to transform it into anything real. We have never heard of any organization gaining by such a policy and the N. A. A. C. P. is proving to be no exception. If nothing vital comes out of the present Canton meeting, if the N. A. A. C. P. leaders have not the courage to kill the state organization, then the N. A. A. C. P. is THROUGH in Ohio. It has yet to inform Ohio contributors why it failed to lead the attack on Judge Florence Allen. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1934.

The Ophamotological Club of Cleveland, of which Dr. W. P. Chamberlain is president, this week approved recommendations for the correct use of light to safeguard and to conserve visual powers as well as physical and nervous energy. DO NOT VOTE FOR FRANK W. GEIGER! Judge Frank W. Getiger of Springfield is a Republican candidate for the State Supreme court that not one of our loyal members of the race should vote for. Some years ago when Mr. Getiger was a common pleas judge of (Springfield) Clarke County, he held up a case for months, refusing to hand down a decision which was of a supreme importance to the state, making the fight of their lives to keep the Ku Klux Klan from establishing FRANK GEIGER 178 "jim-crow" schools in Springfield. In order to get a decision in the case, they had to defeat Judge Geiger who was a candidate for re-election that fall, and feared to give a decision against the Kluxers. Just remember the foregoing and tell it to all of you. You are not out the state. You simply can't vote for Geiger and retain your self and race respect. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 universal discrimination, that they are 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; downs itself and without self-respect and have '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 equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native disciple of long predeceition may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Wm. Monroe Trotter in The Boston (Mass.) Guardian. --- LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A.

Straight eyelashes, like straight hair, are now a matter of choice rather than a misfashioned man-made gadget that can be worn with a Nature Mother nature dress.

LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTIC CA, Sept. 17 (via Mackay Radio): Please allow me to introduce to the world for the first time a new invention which has revolutionized the use of tractors for polar exploration. And let me give credit right now for this new idea to Kenneth Rawson, Chicago, our co-founder and worker in in collaboration with Harold L June, of Stamford, Conn., chief of our aviation section. The greatest difl countered in trail navigation by tractor has been that of keeping the machines on a selected course. The expedition has been equipped with the finest navigation instruments obtainable. Navigation in tractors, however, is more than a question of superior instruments.

The expedition has been equipped with the finest navigation instruments obtainable. Navigation in tractors, however, is more than a question of superior instruments. It is generally known that the proximity of metal or electric current to a compass causes variations of the compass needle due to magnetic attraction. A tractor, being one mass of metal, has made a very unsatisfactory mounting for a compass, particularly because from the engine is driven a generator with a variable voltage and power output. In the body of the tractor is installed a radio generator which is operated intermittently. These conditions have made it impossible to follow an accurate course. Kenneth Rawson, working with June, finally devised a method which proved practical and efficient. They installed on a sledge a special spring suspension mounting for the compass. The sledge itself was equipped with a windshield and a place for the observer to sit comfortably while watching the compass during the trip.

In the aperiodic compass on the sledge the oscillations are considerably damped out. This, together with the smooth running of the sledge and the absence of any magnetic disturbance made possible very accurate dead reckoning navigation on our experimental trip. The installation proved very successful over the most intricate course to be found in the world, namely, through the pressure ridges. In this spot it is necessary to wind around, twist and turn, threading a way through these huge upheavals of ice. And now Rawson and June have devised this new system of navigation which will allow us to follow the crooked trail by compass without the slightest difficulty on our forthcoming trip to the Queen Maud Mountains. My work with Rawson and June on this project certainly leaves me with a sense of respect for the men who navigate over these white wastes of snow and ice. And it is just one more scientific contribution you can chalk up for this expedition. I'll have to change my mind about the one I mentioned last week—McCormick's aerial observation that the Ross Sea is free of ice. When he thought he was looking at open water through the murky atmosphere from ten thousand feet altitude, he was really looking at hard green ice. He discovered that this week in a new flight. So, after all, we really are surrounded by an ice armor and we don't know whether it extends for fifty miles or five hundred.

Didn't Know The Half C NEVER HAVE MORE THAN TWO HATS AND YOU NEVER HAVE MORE THAN TWO BITS WELL, I AIN'T NO MILLIONAIRE I ADMIT- BUT- 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. The two states are copies of the same least restrictive 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. Pension 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. MOBS. 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 an unlawful act of murder of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disabled the person receiving it from earning a salary by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 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 children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of deceased persons, and unless ordained 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 as shown in § 192 of 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 6284. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v 162 9. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment 'and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mot 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 prisoner from which he was unlawfully disputed, contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, ending house barber-shop, public or other place by land or whale 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 not more than twenty 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.

WEAVER'S APOTHECARY SHOP, 8604 Quincy Ave. Recently a Jewish writer in "Friday," a magazine, gravely announced that Jewish residents that moved from the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, years ago, "left vestages of a culture." That statement needs explanation and amplification, if ever one did. The exodus of Jews, referred to from what is erroneously referred to as "The Roaring Third," left the southside of that section of the city, many years ago, when there was an influx of persecuted Jews as massacres in the E. 105th St, and Kinsman Rd. neighborhoods. Since that time, however, there has been a "gradual exodus" from, as well as a steady settling of Jews and Italians in that section, and also an influx of "Negroes" from the South, mainly in the last seventeen years. More of our people than Jews left "The Roaring Third" to settle in the East End and other parts of the city. "The Jewish population," never large except in the North, "was a neighborhood" ("The Roaring Third"), left no more "vestages of a culture" than did our residents who migrated to other sections of the city in the last seventeen years. ```markdown ``` By relieving constipation before serious illness develops, Thefdord's Black-Draught enables thousands of men and women to keep at work, and to enjoy living.

WNJL series Property National Gauley Society, Westinghouse - GU U.S. Service The duke of Gloucester, on his forthcoming visit to Ceylon, will present the island, with the THE duke or Gloucester, on his forthcoming visit to Ceylon, will present the, island with the throne of its native kings. The last Tamil king of Kandy, Wikramra Raja Sinha, was unpopular with his subjects. Aided by the British, they deposed him in 1815 and sent his throne to England, where ever since it has been preserved in Windsor castle. Ceylon is known to most of us only for its fragrant tea. Yet aside from producing the leaves of one of the world's most popular beverages, the island contributes many other products to commerce. Coconut fiber for brushes; tortoise shell for combs and eye glasses; graphite, an important component of pencils; citronella oil, applied to ward off mosquitoes; and cardamons, used to deaden the taste of medicine. A pear-shaped island half the size of New York state, Ceylon lies in the Indian ocean off the southern tip of India. It is a British possession and has no political connection with India, though separated from it only by 22 miles of water. A Hindu epic relates that this strait was once bridged by a causeway, the handwork of an army of monkeys. Legend rises like incense from Ceylon. A huge hollow in a rhododendron-overcased hill is revered as the footprint of Buddha. Mohammedans call it Adam's peak. Arabian legend relates that Adam and Eve, driven out of Paradise, were allowed to enter this enchanting island. In many ways it is a second Eden. It is drugged with sweet scentes that breezes far out over the high seas. Three days before mariners sight Ceylon, they can smell its heavy fragrance, which rises from flower-decked temples, from blooms trampled on the highway, from blooming lotus, frangipinn, gardenia, cinnamon and other spice trees. Natives Have Idyllic Life. British modernization of the island has disturbed but little the almost idyllic existence of the natives. Off the palm-fringed shrubs, where lazy surf rolls on yellow sands, they fish lurelessly from outrigger canoes. British automobiles may speed over the island's copper-colored roads, but Ceylon's 34,000 slow-moving bullock carts set the tempo for native life. On any road, arched over with tamarind trees, festooned with pepper vines, one passes cream-colored bullocks, drawing huge thatch-roofed "prairie schooners," bursting with families and their household belongings. The brown-skinned Sinhalese women are slender and delicately featured, often beautiful. The men in their tight skirts, and hair caught in a bun, appear effeminate. Their mouths are stained scarlet from chewing soothing betel nuts. Ceylon is a land wrested from the jungle. It well deserves its ancient name of Tamraparni, the island of "dusky leaves," for most of its hills and low-lying plains are covered with thick jungles. Glossy jay trees, bamboos, ebony and other rare hardwoods are woven together by wild vines. Jungle has overgrown Ceylon's ancient cities. The most extensive of these, Anuradhapura, 250 miles north of Colombo, was the capital of a highly civilized Ceylon about 200 B. C. A royal residence, with 96,000 Buddhist priests among its inhabitants, it must once have covered an area larger than London. Hindu Tamils reduced it to a heap of granite posts and sculptured friezes. It now is strangled by creepers. The Ceylon archeology department, which erected government offices and bungalows there, cleared glade-like corridors to it, so that visitors may view its fascinating ruins. Sunshine and Heavy Rains. Ceylon's climate is fairly good for the tropics. Though moist and enervating with warmth, it is tempered by sea breezes, and is healthful except in the low-lying jungles, where malaria has taken heavy toll. Infant mortality is excessive, due chiefly to malaria. Intensive anti-malaria work and maternal and child welfare work are slowly producing good results. The island alternates between scorch ing sunshine and heavy showers. At times the air is very still and hot. Thunder over hills and jungles precede midsummer rains so torrential that every leaf drips. Clumps of giant bamboo already over 100 feet high shoot up another foot in a single day. Liquid bird calls echo through drenched jungles. The streams leaping from fall to fall down the central uplands to the coast gush in torrents and sometimes flood the land. Formerly, when scant rain fell, the rivers dried up into parched water-courses, carpeted with grass. Deer from the woods ventured out on them, and wild swine plowed them up at night. The northwest and southeast corners of Ceylon became burning deserts. To counteract this, irrigation was begun centuries ago. Irrigation is needed because rice is the staple food of its inhabitants. The early Sinhalese kings made a great part of Ceylon cultivable by constructing artificial lakes or "tanks." Modern Ceylon is doing extensive irrigation work, damming up rivers for irrigation for dry times. This has not only converted arid land into agricultural areas, but has checked floods and malaria. Ceylon's prosperity depends entirely on her agriculture. The soil is extremely fertile, and about one-fourth of the land is under cultivation. The valleys are a patchwork of vivid green rice fields. The hills are striped with rows of tea bushes, and rubber trees. The tea industry, largely in the hands of Europeans, is the mainstay of the island, exporting about 250 million pounds annually. Most of the work on the rubber and tea estates is done by Tamil immigrants who migrate annually from South India, and return home at the end of the season. In 1931 these Tamil immigrants composed 13.05 per cent of the total population of Ceylon. One sees Tamil women in bright red and white draperies winding down paths between the waist-high tea bushes, chattering and throwing tea leaves over their shoulders into baskets. Aside from tea, and citronella oil, Ceylon exports chiefly raw materials: cacao, cinnamon, coconuts, areca nuts, rubber, and cardamoms. Island Is a Jewel Box Unlike the Tamils, who do most of the unskilled labor, the Sinhalese are skilled workers, being largely jewel grinders, weavers, lacquer makers. Ceylon is a jewel box of precious stones. In Colombo, the headquarters for jewel grinders and wholesale and retail jewel sellers, one may purchase pearls, glowing rubies, sapphires, amethysts, moonstone, and alexandrites, those weird stones, green by day and sullen red under artificial light. The early Greeks knew Ceylon as "the Land of Rubles." The island is noted for its pearls. The pearl fisheries are located on the northwestern coast along the Gulf of Manara. Along this shore, which is sea bottom become land by slow upheaval, for 10 or 12 miles inland, the plow turns up oyster shells every where. Here, at the time of pearl fishing, thousands of boats are anchored off shore, temporary villages spring up overnight, complete with snake charmers and magicians to lure the money of the newly rich pearl divers. Pearls of rare value are sometimes discovered. Legend has it that pearls from here found their way to Cleopatra's earrings and the Queen of Sheba's necklace. Ceylon's fauna would populate a weird zoo. Rose-colored flamingoes mate in its artificial lakes. Man-eating crocodiles bask on the shores. Through shoulder-high grass, wild buffaloes watch tame buffaloes plowing rice fields. The air rings with screams of wild peafowl and white-headed fishing eagles. The jungles fill the tropic night with uncanny boots and catcalls. The blood-curdling call of the devil bird makes one's flesh creep and one's hair stand on end. The brown hawk-owl makes a cry like a strangled cat. Above the chattering of monkeys, one hears the trumpeting of wild elephants. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1934. Hand-Knit or Crochet's the Thing! THE FASHION WEEKLY ARE we knitting and crocheting these days? Well, now, are we? It's a veritable knitting and crochet marathon the fair sex is staging. For proof positive that fashion's followers are knitting and crocheting like mad in their leisure hours, just try to sidestep the hanks of bright yarn and the balls of gay crochet cotton which pop out at most any time and place from within the depths of the capacious "knitting bag" which most every woman carries along nowadays wheresoever she goes. Of course there's a reason for this increasing enthusiasm among those who hand knit and crochet, and it's the—this the news is going out from style centers everywhere that the vogue for things hand-knit or crocheted is extending not only into the fall but it promises to become even more exciting and fascinating as winter draws nigh. You can see for yourself from this group illustration that the newer ideas are nothing less than inspiring. Wouldn't you just love to have an ensemble like the one pictured, two views of which are here given? This adorable model is a Hermes creation, comes from the Paris collection of this famous designer of hand-made fashions. The three pieces, jacket, skirt and blouse, are worked of knitting and crochet cotton, a heavy thread which comes in exquisite colors and will wash like new. It is practicable for early fall wear. Notice the cord fastenings, the draped cowl at the back of the jacket and the crochet-covered buttons—style details which fairly tingle with individualized chic. You can get this crochet cotton at most any fancywork department, and it is not at all expensive. The lines of the handsome suit shown to the left are severely simple but literally packed with smartness. DOTTED SWISS AS POPULAR AS EVER Dear old dotted swiss is with us again. Dear Dotty is never far away, although she retires demurely to the country, from whence she first migrated. She was at Lady D's ball, too, her background white and her dots blue. Her hem had a four-inch ruffle all the way around and was shorter than the majority of her companions. She was accompanied by a cape fitted to the shoulders, tied at the neck with a small bow and buttoned down the front with tiny white linen shirt buttons. The cape was cut square in front and back and edged with ruffles of the same width as that on the skirt. Pale pink satin sandals peeped out from beneath the hem of the skirt. Long-Handled Bags Back in Limelight of Fashion Long-handled bags recalling those the belles of the 190s and 1900s carried are being seen again. Though their conception is modern, their inspiration is as old fashioned as a Quaker bonnet. They come in the form of calfskin or pigskin pouches, sometimes with plain, sometimes with pleated bodies, finished with a double handle whose top comes eight or ten inches above the bag. Black ottoman pouches are being seen in the afternoon and evening. Novel Earrings Earrings worn on the tops of the ears are the latest novelty in costume jewelry. They take the form of tiny gold wings. Coolie Hats Popular Coolie type hats for women are popular in London. This model also comes from a celebrated Parisian creator who excels in hand-knit modes. The classic tailored appearance of this patrician two-piece gives it surpassing distinction. It is knitted, as is also the roll-brim hat, of knitting and crochet cotton, the kind that is dependably washable and wearable. New notes are offered for the knitter in its high, round neck, clever bipline which savors of a peplum effect and the unusual trimming detail on the front of the blouse in the form of simulated pockets together with vertical markings which tend to slenderize. Also from a recent Paris collection comes the high-style blouse pictureed in the foreground. The diagonal stitch which is of unusual interest gives slimming lines and there is a nice about every detail which makes appeal to discriminating taste. The collar with its frilly jabot and the turned-back cuffs are dramatic touches which greatly enhance. The belt is neatly worked in a tight firm stitch—alto-gether a model which glorifies the art of crochet. Speaking of the popularity of handknit costumes it is not at all unusual for women to knit not one but several suits and dresses. They are doing it right along this season. Besides the many alluring and novel details which beautify the newer modes, an outstanding play is being made on color. Just now fashion-informed women are choosing rich mossy greens, forest green being a favorite. Wear velvet accessories in matching green including scarf, beret bag and belt and you will be delighted with results. Rust color and allied copperish browns play a close second to the vogusil green. Be sure to monogram your sports-knitted and crocheted tops, thus adding a final touch of distinction. © Western Newspaper Union. J Very flattering are the alluring short capetels of tulle, fluted, flounced or frilled which many of the smartest women are wearing under glimmering evening lights. The model pictured is a Paris creation. Maggy Ruff designs it, using a bright red tulle for the capetel and white chiffon for the frock. Fan-shaped pleating beginning at the waistline falls the length of the dress to the floor, joining the deep-pleated flounce. The silhouette that drops narrow pleatings from waistline to hemline is a new departure. SPOTLIGHTING THE STARS Gladys Swarthout. Radio is not a bed of roses. HELLO!

So you can't blame her for doing a little repair work in between her songs. When "Tasure island" was being filmed, a talking parrot was used in many scenes with Wally Beery. This bird became a great favorite with Jackie Cooper, Lionel Barymore and Cait. Because of the shape of his proboscis (nore to you) he was promptly dubbed "Jimmie Durante." ... wont suffer from television ... Flush is the name ... works for Henry Ford ... hangover. Silly isn't it? ... Beery a jimmie Durante" *** Beauty hint: The reason the older film stars have such lovely complexions and retain their beauty longer than an ordinary woman is because the years of making up for pictures gives exercise to the muscles of the face and keeps tissues. Maybe we should all get made up like Lon Chaney every day — just for the exercise . . . Television is still a long way off they say. Some of the radio stars will appear to very bad advantage when it does come. But one little lady who won't suffer from television is lovely Vera Van. --- Rosemary Lane, believe it or not, works for Henry Ford. Yep, she sings on the Ford Hour. She won't suffer from television either, do you think? One day Colonel Stoopnagel and Bud illustrated for our photographer just how it feels to have a hang-over. Silly, isn't it?
