The ROUNDER ROUNDER The advertising manager of a local theater told a representative of The Gazette, Monday, that The Eagle, a local try-weakly race publication, gave "Green Pastures" a "write-up" (advertisement for a ticket to see the play: This is for a ticket to some). But which way? Said the vertising manager, also said that the advance advertising it in the local daily newspapers. The Rounder would infer from this that our people's patronage was not especially solicited for the play when it reaches this city, next week. Ever since the "housing" scheme was first broached, the Gazette has done everything in its power to make the poor people of the so-called slum areas wake up and do something to advance their own interests in the matter, but apparently in vain with the possible exception of Joe Smith's daughter who fought as we advised and as a result netted $2,540 she wouldn't have gotten if she had not waged, a court battle, as the Gazette urged all property owners, especially ours, in the Cedar-Central area to do Now after the war with the government holding the whip-hand, some of our people held a "housing" meeting in Mt.

Tuesday evening, to see what could be done to get the government to help the dispossessed families of the area secure cheaper rooms and places to live in anywhere in the adjacent sections of the city where rentals have been advanced materially because of the demand of the dispossessed persons. The federal government will hardly do anything to relieve the tragic situation in the people have started too late, we warrant. The "good housing" permitted in the Cedar-Central area will not mean a thing to the lowest income group, the poor colored and white people now being forced out of that section of the city, because of the too high rentals to be charged.

Judge Virgil J. Terrell was born in Cleveland, is now 53 years of age, received his degree in Law and high school education in Cleveland, and college education at the University of Dayton, having been graduated therefrom in 1900, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science. He attended night law school at the Cleveland Law School, and was employed during the day in a law office, during the three years of his studies. Thirty-one years ago he was admitted to the practice of law. In 1921 he was elected City Magistrate in which office he served for four years until the duties of this PETER H. BURKE office were assumed by the Municipal Court of Cleveland. He was then sent to the Legislature as member of the House of Representatives from Cuyahoga County where he served two terms and was later elected State Senator from Cleveland. In 1918 he was elected to the office of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for a short term. Thereafter he became Municipal Judge of the City of Cleveland and was elected and re-elected to that office and served therein as Judge for eleven years. In 1930 Judge was elected to the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County having been elected thereto. In his elections and re-elections Judge Terrell has invariably received the endorsements of the leading newspapers, Bar Associations and civic associations because of his record in public office. He is now a candidate for the Court of Appeals of Cuyahoga County, and it is submitted that his education, training, his legislative experience in the House of Representatives and State Senate, and his judicial experience in the various courts covering a lot of twenty years, well qualifies him for office of Judge of the Court of Appeals. Judge Terrell is married and has six children all of whom he is educating in the various professions. One is a doctor, one a medical student, one a nurse, one a dietetics student, one a law student and another a high-school student. PETER H.

BROWN, REPUBLI- CIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Eliminate Waste and Extravagance in estration and Co-operate With General Assembly. Would Solve The Problem SAYS THE HON. CLARENCE J. BROWN, REPUBLI-CAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Also Promises to Eliminate Waste and Extravagance in State Administration and Co-operate With the General Assembly. Tiffin, O.—Establishment of a minimum standard of education which would not be based on dollars and cents but upon the educational need of the school, regardless of where it was located, was advocated by Clarence J. Brown, Republican candidate for governor, in addresses at Tiffin and Fostoria. Tuesday afternoon. In declaring he would establish a school fund in which all school officials would have fair and equitable basis, Mr. Brown emphasized the fact that he was opposed to extending financial assistance to private and parochial schools from public funds. At the same time the Republican nominee fayed the Democratic highway machine which he said must be completely disbanded. Mr. Brown said that he had the greatest respect for individuals or organizations interested in advancing education or bridge and education thru schools or bridge, rather than the public school system, but declared that such endeavors are private, not public ones. "Monies from the state school fund must be expended only for the support of our public schools," he said. "I am unalterably opposed to the spending of public money or the extending of financial aid from public funds for the support of private or parochial schools." Partial blame for the present plight of the public schools was laid to the General Assembly by Mr. Brown. Its failure to provide an adequate taxation program. Despite the constitutional provision that the General Assembly shall provide for a thorough and efficient system of common schools, such provisions have not been made, the candidate declared. "Only when local funds proved hopelessly inadequate and after local communities had taxed themselves to the breaking point has the state given any assistance to the public schools," Mr. Brown said. Then, he pointed out, it was only in the form of alms or as an act of "charity," rather than as the discharge of state obligation under the constitution. Mr. Brown said he favored a state school fund to supplant the present system of state-aid to the so-called weak school districts, which, he claimed, had too often been given or withheld for political reasons. The politician nominee declared that every public school, within a metropolitan center, was a rural district, would share in the state school fund on a fair and equitable basis. "Upon the state as a whole, he said, rest the responsibility of providing the proper finances, and revenues for supporting such a school fund. This may be partly accomplished, he pointed out, thru the practice of hard-headed economy in the operation of government generally. He said the elimination of waste and extravagance in government and the To get a real idea of what life under German Fascism is like, use your imagination and transplant the whole business to American soil. Pretend we are laboring under Nazism and that the things that have happened in Germany of late have really happened over here. You start by imagining that all political parties but the Democratic party have been forcibly suppressed. Herbert Hoover has been driven in the face of Henry Pleicher that is left of the Republican party from a safe haven in Mexico City. Ogden Mills is languishing in Leavenworth; Senator Borah has been shot. Congress is composed solely of party henchmen picked by Jim Farley; but that makes little difference, for it meets only when Mr. Roosevelt says it may, and it does exactly what he tells it to do. There won't be any fall elections; if there were, all the voter could do would be to make a blanket indorsement of all Democratic candidates, with a flock of Tammany thugs around to beat him up if he refused. The editor of your favorite newspaper prints an editorial suggesting that the NRA is somewhat less than perfect, and is immediately thrown in jail. You would happen to think that Johnson is a flat tire, and the department of justice lugs you off to a concentration camp in Georgia. No public speaker, no editor, no magazine writer dares to suggest that Mr. Roosevelt is anything but the wisest President we have ever had. Then, to cap things properly, imagine that the Democrats have had an internal row, and that the President --- IF HITLER RULED US.

BURKE "If I am elected governor, as I expect to be, my first step will be to eliminate the waste and extravagance in the state administration," the Republican candidate said. "My next step will be to co-operate with the general assembly in carrying out the constitutional mandate to 'secure a thorow and efficient system of common schools throut the state.'" He added a highway department, Mr. Brown charged that that division of the present administration has become offensive to common decency. "The people of Ohio demand a thoro house-cleaning and reorganization of the highway department. More and better service for the money expended is necessary. The highway department in the last few years has failed as a bureau of scientific and economic highway development. Almost everything has been practiced under the present administration except the original intent for which the department was created. I pledge the citizens of Ohio that the gasoline and auto tag tax money paid in by them will be used for highway construction and maintenance and not to advance the political fortunes of the nation. I promise that an experienced executive and trained administrator will be named by me to head this great department, and guarantee a saving of at least one million dollars a year. The costly and inefficient highway machine must be and shall be decentralized." Mr. Brown said. He urged that sale of auto tags and the highway patrol be removed from the highway department. settles' it by having Carter Glass, Huey Long, Bernard M.

Port-Au-Prince, Haiti—Four out of fourteen of the writers, lawyers, and editors who have been on trial here before a special court-martial charged with "writing against the government," and "attempting to seize power," have been sentenced to prison terms of from two to four years, plus fines of $1,000 each.

County of Cuyahoga ss. Before me, a notary public, in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Harry C. Smith, who, having been duly sworn, according to law, deposes and says that he is the editor and owner of The Gazette and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, etc. of the aforesaid publication for the date of the caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1. That the name and address of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager is: Harry C. Smith, 226 W. Superior Ave., Cleveland, O. 2. That the owner is: Harry C. Smith. 3. That the known bondholders, mortgages, and other security holders owning or holding 1 per cent or total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: There are none. 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholders or security holder are pears upon the books of the company as trustee or in other of the fiduciary or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and that this affiant has no reason to believe that anyone in association, or corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as so stated by him.

Morgan Park High School, Chicago, is crowded with students, K. K. K-minded citizens took advantage of this condition to call a strike, demanding the removal of our students to some other school. That the latter lived in that school-district didn't mean a thing to the K. K. K. strike-promoters. That the mayor of Chicago is against them is the most encouraging sign in connection with the prejudiced foods' strike. Frederick Douglass branch of the League of Struggle for "Negro" Rights is picketing a Philadelphia chain store because of its refusal to hire any of our workers as clerks, the it has given an occasional porter job. What's the matter with the local "League of Struggle" branch's picketing one or more local chain stores? The A. & P. for instance? Our people pack the A. & P. store, corner E. 84th St, and Quincy Ave., particularly on Saturday evenings, and yet that chain store, like the Fisher Bros. chain stores, will not even hire a "Negro" porter, it is said. Lord, have mercy! BROWN A WINNER Contrary to general opinion, the Republican electors of Ohio cast 676,699 votes at the recent primary to the Democrats' 657,920. So you see, instead of the Democrats casting between forty and fifty thousand more votes than the Republicans at the recent primary, as the daily papers stated at the time, the Republican majority is 18,779. In Cuyahoga county, the Democrats cast 111,019 votes to the Republicans' 103,019. Their majority, therefore, in the county was 7,850. This is about a thousand less than the Democrats claimed immediately following the primary. So the outlook for the triumphant election of the Hon. Clarence J. Brown to the gubernatorial chair of Ohio is much better than that immediately following the primaries. And his election will help the local ticket in this and many other counties of the state. A CAPABLE OFFICIAL. In appointing Attorney Theodore M. Berry of Cincinnati, publicity director for the Ohio state conference of branches of the N. A. A. C. P. the delegates at Canton performed a useful service. Attorney Berry is young, alert, and capable. What he does not know about the intricacies of the race problem and the tricks of our people's enemies, he can discover in time. The Gazette suggests to Mr. Berry that he arrange to have a skeleton conference called into session, two or three times a year, in order to transform the state organization from a one-man imitation—state society into something vital. There is no time to lose in the battle against a growing reaction. Regardless of the re-election of Mr. Dickinson to the presidency, it is apparent that the real control of the state society must be in the hands of such individuals as Miss Pearl Mitchell of Cleveland, Atty. Berry, Atty. E. M. Lancaster of Akron, and a substantial number from the ranks who do not represent any of the professions. The N. A. A. C. P. has always suffered from an excess of professional men, but the Ohio conference of branches is in a position today to rectify that error by building something new. GOOD LABOR RESOLUTION. When Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and leaders of the International Ladies' Garment Workers forced thru a resolution at San Francisco, where the American Federation of Labor was in convention, "to investigate the whole status of our workers in the national and international unions, federal unions and the general policy of the A. F. of L. on the matter of organizing our workers," they earned the commendation of all our people in the country. Let us not fool ourselves into believing that President Wm. Green and his satellites enjoy such a move. Far from it! But Mr. Green is faced with growing hostility from below. Unemployed workers and men on the job are getting tired of seeing fat salaries going to the "big boys" while wages are slashed and militant unions are cracked, often with the open assistance of Mr. Green, as in the longshoremen's strike along the west coast. So there is hope for our workers, if they will continue to hammer and to insist that if the A. F. of L. has nothing to offer, the wiser workers of both races will see that the A. F. of L. is reduced to a skeleton. A. Philip Randolph and his friends have done an excellent piece of work. Now let them see that the astute Green is not permitted to forget the resolution. OBITUARY "Mother" West, as she was generally known through the city and popularly addressed, particularly by our older residents, died and was buried, last week. For many years, Mrs. West, a fine chef and successful restauranteur, served the best cooked food, to be found in the city, in her several restaurants in Central Ave. Even after she lost a lower limb, she continued to do this and naturally made a host of friends and acquaintances, all of whom sincerely mourn her passing. Funeral services were held, last week Friday afternoon, for the late Mrs. Mildred Courtney Carney, age 39, popular beauty operator in this city for the past eleven years, who died, following an operation at a local hospital, Oct. 8, '34. In interment in Harvard Grove Cemetery. Mrs. Carney was born in Columbus and was connected with the Madame C. J. Walker Co. for many years. She leaves a husband, Mr. Whitmore Carney; an uncle and a host of friends to mourn her demise and sympathize with the bereaved husband and other near relatives. Mr. Carney desires to thank the many friends for courtesies shown during the illness and at the death of his wife. There were many beautiful floral tributes from in and out of the city. The funeral was largely attended. The funeral services for Attty, James M. Williams, 8115 Lucia Ave., who died at City Hospital, Sunday were held, last week, Thursday afternoon, Rev. C. R. Jones of Second Emanuel church and Rev. Horace C. Bailley officiating. Resolutions and condolences from organizations, neighbors and other friends were read. Members of the Harlan club, of which the deceased was a member, were pallbearers. The floral designs were beautiful. One of the several very impressive solos, "End of a Perfect Day," was sung by Mrs. Inez Dempsey. Mr. Williams was born at Hughs Spring Texas, in 1876. Leaving home at an early age, desirous of a higher education, he worked his way to St. Louis, entered Summer High school and graduated, valedictorian of his class. He taught school, several years, to enable him to study law, his life's profession. In 1902 he entered the law department of Howard University, Washington, D.C., graduating in 1906. Here he met and married Miss Susie Fields of Hampton, Va., who graduated year, in Kindergarten in 1907 he began the practice, the law in Indiana, three children were born the second dying there. Mr. Williams took an active part in church and civic matters. In 1923 he came to Cleveland, was admitted THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. OCT. 20. 1934.

PASTOR'S PROTEST The Participation of the Urban League in the Community Fund —They "Battle"! Columbus, O.—Coming shortly before the annual drive of the Community Chest Fund and its associated charities, our Ministerial Association of this city has filed a strong formal protest with the fund committee disclaiming the right of our Urban League here to participate to the extent of $11,000 annually. Until early this year, when the local Urban League became affiliated with the National Urban League, like the one in Cleveland, its leaders basked in the light of the National League without the fact body, and contributed to distribute among themselves salaries in the greater part of the money allotted them by the Community Fund. Now the Ministerial Association has taken up the fight to have the Urban League stricken from the roll of charities receiving money from the Community Fund, basing their argument on the grounds that in the present time of want, direct relief instead of high-salaried "welfare workers" is needed. They point out that a great deal more good could be accomplished among our citizenry of Columbus at the present time if the $11,000 would be distributed among our various "shelter homes" which are housing and feeding destitute members of the race to the best of their ability on private contributions. BOUQUETS PRESENTED By a White Friend While We Are Still Ability and Appreciate Them Madison, N. J., Oct. 1, '34. Hon, Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Shr: I have been intending for a long time to throw several bouquets your way. First, because your paper actually arrives on time! For a "Negro" newspaper—in an experience of thirty years—I find the record unparalleled!

Third: Because your paper is aggressive and progressive—you call a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement whose utility is undeniably constructive and destructive. Yours truly, (Rev.) Geo. W. Brent. 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 our people of that city who were 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 who are involved in the state. You simply can't vote for Geiger and retain your self and race respect. Ohio Police Increase Efficiency With Great Motorcycle Fleet MOTORCYCLE Above—Like an armored car, the new bandit chasing police motorcycle protects the occupants and has high offensive value. At Right—New police radio machines have added greatly to the motorcycle officer's efficiency. By LATTIMER SHAW WHEN the motorcycle policeman is on the road traffic flows smoothly, with a minimum of accidents. In addition, the motorcycle is the supreme weapon in our constant warfare against the motorized criminal. This seems to be the unanimous opinion of state, county and municipal police departments throughout the country. One by one these departments are adopting two-wheeled vehicles, in small numbers at first but, as their efficiency and economy are proved, great fleets are ordered and put out on the highways at their task of saving lives and protecting the rest of us from the criminal. And presently the authorities discover that the motorcycle is a powerful agent in curbing the activities of the gasoline and oil bootleger who is costing American motorists more than $40,000,000 a year in tax evasion and car damage; in providing escorts for distinguished visitors, in answering immediately riot calls and other police alarms and in a thousand other ways. The adoption of radio for police motorcycles has greatly enhanced their value. In order to get some facts about this encouraging situation I queried the country's leading maker of motorcycles, the Indian Motocycle Company. Some of the figures they gave me were amazing. In a few short years the police use of motorcycles has jumped from a mere sprinkling to a mighty fleet which includes more than 5,000 motorcycles of this one make. Indian machines, they told me, are used by 23 state, 60 county and more than 630 city police departments. Grace Moore Enjoys Fair THE MUSICAL OF THE MUSICAL OF THE MUSICAL Famous star of opera, screen and she is seen making merry in the radio spent a joyous day at the Black Forest, perched upon a World's Fair during a recent visit "now-covered" stump, while three to Chicago. She was particularly of the native girls adoringly surround her. Endor This, they informed me, means that more than 70% of the city population and over 60% of the entire population are being protected by officers riding these fast moving machines. The largest group, 418, is used by that great police organization, the Pennsylvania Highway Patrol. The police in New York City alone use 380, while the state officers of Massachusetts patrol the Commonwealth's highways with 237. In the prevention of road accidents motorcycle police are doing magnificent work. Wherever roads are regularly patrolled by motorcycle officers, lives are saved because a decrease in the proportion of accidents is observed. The Ohio Highway Patrol, recently organized, has added to its already lustrous reputation for efficiency and skill through the use of 54 of these machines, powerful, fast, 4-cylinder bandit chasers. The police of Dayton use 26 similar 4-cylinder vehicles and other Ohio towns and cities are likewise protected. All over the United States, as well as in Canada and Mexico, the police are making new progress in their battle with crime and in making our auto traffic safer, through the use of swift, economical, easily maneuvered American motorcycles. THE HAT MORE TO "HIT SHOWS" THAN MEETS THE EYE THE FIRST DAY OF THE FILM FESTIVAL NEW York—That a hat can glorify and change a woman's personality more than any other article of apparel is an age-old truth for all ages! And for all sizes as well. To prove this point, see the three hats shown. They are particularly good for the Larger Woman who wants to look as gracefully young as she feels. And all three help slender women recent check of preference shows that an average of fifteen women choose brimmed hats to eight who choose turbans. Youthful "swagger" dips, stitched brims, brims with a veil, and semi-dip brims are but a few of the many smart variations on this graceful The very chic brimmed hat sketched comes in felt, with a grosgrain ribbon band; and has a fedora-like crushed crown, giving it a more elegant look. It sports clothes. Its most important characteristic, however, is a vitally necessary feature which I call the "Balanced Brim," meaning a brim in such right proportion to a stout head that it does not height. Another hint on choosing MORE TO "HIT SHOWS" By DOC SCHNURMACHER NEW YORK CITY. With the theatrical season well past the mid- year, turning point, and with more hits on the boards than there have been in seve- ral years, Broad- way producers actors and drama enthusiasts are beginning to spee- NEW YORK CITY. With the theatrical season well past the mid-year turning point, and with more hits on the boards than there have been in several years, Broadway producers, actors and drama enthusiasts are beginning to specialize as to what has brought about the change which has made hit shows bloom in many houses that were dark last year. Easier money is the primary reason given—more interest by the public in the theatre another. Even Hollywood this year has contributed many of its movie stars to the uplift of the legitimate stage, notably, Miriam Hopkins, Roland Young, Hai Skelly, Helen Hayes, Katherine Hepburn, Walter Huston and many others. WEAR THIS MASK ALL NIGHT TO KEEP THE COLD CREAM FROM RUBBING OFF brims, make sure your brim can turn up in back if you wear a fur-follared coat! Turbans, this winter, are endowed with a youthful, but not a fluffed hair. The one picture is fashioned of hatter's plush. Yes, hatter's plush is the style surprise of the season—an old favorite of grandma's day, which has reappeared in all its silky beauty. The final hat shown is a tricorne turban of that year-in, year-out-favorite — felt. Not a brimmed hat, it is a distressed turban, it is a dress fashion in itself—and is set off with perky feathers. It reflects the Napoleonic vogue so correct this year and so versatile for young and mature alike. Now—which shall it be—a brim, a turban, or a tricorne? The answer is "one of each." Because, as I suggested above, a different hat is better for the different personality. And what woman can resis such an opportunity? Would you like a free fashion booklet which will tell you about the newest styles? All you need do is write me: Mme. Lane Bryant, Dept. F, Fashion News Bureau, 6 East 45th St., New York City. THAN MEETS THE EYE Behind the scenes at "Murder in the Vanities"—Lew Eckles adds an authentic touch to the bandage worn by Pauline Moore while the Misses Warren, Witt and Joyce of the company look on approvingly. Irespective of what has contributed to the boom of the theatre this year, the veteran producer has his own particular formula for a hit play. Good plays, good names, good staging and direction is his accepted recipe. Some producers, however, insist on more than just these production essentials. Earl Carroll, whose "Murder in the Vanities" has been a hit show for the past six months, is a prominent example of this. Carroll, whose selection of the most beautiful girls in the world, whose "Vanities" and other productions have been Broadway talk for years, insists on realism and is a stickier for detail. As an example of this, there is one scene in the current "Murder in the Vanities" in which Miss Pauline Moore has her arm bandaged. Following the best first aid procedure, the bandage, if you please, is no ordinary piece of lint, but actually a Red Cross bandage, the best obtainable, held in place by waterproof drybak adhesive tape, the newest contribution to science of the Red Cross Products Division of the Johnson and Johnson. Sounds like a lot of attention to a little detail? Mebbe it is, but the psychological effect on Miss Moore is such that, after the bandage has been carefully applied, Miss Moore actually "feels" that her arm is hurt and this feeling adds realism to her performance. It's of many details such as these that hits are made and Earl Carroll, astute producer that he is, knows it!

Adopts Resolutions Favoring Complete Equality of Workers, Members of the Organization. San Francisco, Calif.—Delegates to the recent A. F. of L. convention forced thru that body three resolutions favoring complete equality for all workers, and against long-established discrimination by many national and international unions affiliated with the A. F. of L. The delegate body overruled the unfavorable report of the organization committee of the convention, on Resolution No. 141, calling for the expulsion by the A. F. of L. Executive Committee of all unions which continue to disaffect the organization workers. The resolution was carried by a viva voce vote. The third resolution, passed by the convention, put it on record as calling for the elimination of clauses of constitutions of any affiliated unions of the A. F. of L. containing any suggestion of discrimination against our workers, and that all "jim-crow" locals be immediately merged with the existing locals to establish the closest unity of all workers. The resolution further demands a right against those provisions of the N. R. A. codes which discriminate against our workers, and for a fight to obtain equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity for our workers. U. S. NAVY "JIM CROW!" Contemptible Treatment Sanctioned by the Government Even on Roosevelt's Trip to Tropics. New York City. — The "jim crow" policy against our people has penetrated deeply into the U. S. Navy, and has the sanction of the government. Our sailors cannot rise above the ranks of messengers. Over 15,000 of the service more than two years, not more than fifteen have achieved the rank of "second class." Altho this promotion is a regular rule in the navy, and means doubling of the pay of the men. The rule is conveniently disregarded in the case of our people. Officers coming back to the ship drunk at two and three o'clock in the morning, wake the mess boys and force them to prepare food for them. And it is only our sailors who are forced to go right to work after an all-night watch without any sleep. Last summer President Roosevelt went on a trip to the tropics. In the terrific heat of summer, all sailors on the accompanying ships were allowed to go stripped to the waist—except ours. They were forced to wear heavy uniforms and were worked under the fiercest "speed-up." THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. OCT. 20. 1934. WEAVER'S APOTHECARY SHOP, 8604 Quincy Ave. FROM A GOOD FRIEND! Jefferson, O., Oct. 13, '34. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Friend:—As editor of "The Jefferson Gazette" for the past 38 years, now a little less active as editor than previously, my son taking my place. I congratulate you upon your long and useful record as a newspaper editor. It so happens that "The Jefferson Gazette" has been owned and edited by the Lampson family since 1883. I was unsuccessful in my ambition to be a Republican candidate for congressman-at-large in the recent primaries. However, during all of my life I have been a good friend of your people and have been amazed by the progress made under the difficulties we all recognize. If you ever visit the old town of Wade and Giddings be sure to call on me. ONE FAMILY, MANY JOBS. To the Editor of The News—Sir: Reading Maurice Kahn's letter in The News reminds me that there are two city jobs held by members of many families. In some few cases, there are three, four city jobs in the city, and the number of city officials and jobholders whose wives or other close relatives are employed by the C. C. R. A. and other public and semi-public organizations, thus giving to one family two or more "public" jobs. All this is manifestly very unfair to the thousands of deserving unemployed. Care should be taken to remedy this condition of affairs. Harry C. Smith. NOTHING POKY IN TRAVEL OF TALK NOTHING POKY IN TRAVEL OF TALK Electrical Waves Fly Over Telephone Wires at Great Speed When you telephone your Aunt Rachel in Omaha, your conversation is as clear and direct as if you were talking across the street. One of the reasons for this, according to The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, is the tremendous speed at which electrical waves carrying your voice travel over telephone wires. They speed over wires as rapidly as 100,000 miles per second and are one of the swiftest things in the world. If it weren't for their speed, long distance telephone conversations would be disjoint affairs at best. For example, it is 14,000 miles from New York to Sydney, Australia, by radio-telephone circuit. If, instead of telephoning, one should shout loud enough so that Australia could hear the sound waves, it would require about 18 hours for the sound waves of the voice to reach Australia from New York and another 18 hours for the answer to come back by sound. Yet in 1/13th of a second, the telephone "Hello" from New York is heard in Sydney, Australia. In 1/13th of a second, sound travels about 80 feet. So it might be said that, by the swift flight of electric waves, 14,000 miles of space is squeezed into 80 feet. Many Phones Moved Daily by Ohio Bell The Ohio Bell Telephone Company connects and disconnects an average of nearly 1,000 telephones each working day. In the entire Bell System, the daily average is approximately 25,000 such operations. The volume of telephone shifting is due largely to moving from one residence to another, new subscribers and those who order their service in and out frequently. 1930 REFRESHING RELIEF OF CONSTIPATION Avoid constipation! If you disregard its warning and neglect to treat it promptly, look out, for sickness! You cannot hope to have good health if you do nothing to prevent or to relieve constipation. Some of its disturbing effects may be— Billious attacks, poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, bad breath, coated tongue, side headache, nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, belching of gas, uneasiness, physical and mental sluggishness, etc. You need a medicine for constipation, you won't find a better laxative than a NATURAL medicine, like THEFDPORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT, made out of the leaves and roots of certain highly approved medicinal plants. Black-Draught costs less than most laxative medicines, so you can afford to keep it and take it, when needed.

ONTARIO BASEMENT Profanity of Boy Operators Makes Job for Columbus' First Phone Girl NRA MEMBER U.S. WE DO OUR PART Profanity of Job for Co Female Courtesy Substituted for Strong Words of Cussing Males A pig-tailed, pantalooned 15-year-old girl stood timidly beside her mother. Before them was an important looking gentleman earnestly discussing a career for the daughter. Finally the mother nodded her assent and another chapter in telephone history was written. Alice Bell Hodgkins became a telephone operator — the first girl ever chosen for that position in Columbus, O., and one of the first in the entire country. Boys Cussed Patrons Miss Hodgkins entrance into the telephone business was a far more important innovation than many present-day telephone users might think. Before she became Columbus's first girl operator in 1878, the city's switchboard was manned by boys and young men. This was true of every early exchange. In those days, customers cused telephone operators and the operators cused back at them. It was because of this prolific profanity that Mrs. Julia Holdgins, Alice Belle's mother, was asked by the Columbus telephone official to permit her daughter to take a position at the exchange. Girl's Temp. S better Chip's Better Her experiences as one of Ohio's pioneer telephone girls were always very vivid to Miss Hodgkins, who later became Mrs. Martin. Before her死 at the age of 79 in Columbus recently, she was fond of recalling the early days of the telephone business. "Many of the subscribers were displeased with the boy operators because they used improper language over the telephone," she has said. "They found that girls kept their tempers better, so I was made chief operator, and when new operators were hired they all were girls."

Milking a Rubber Tree Near Singapore. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. Titled prominently in former England-to-Australia flights will be on the route of the London Melbourne race which will take place in October. They are Baghdad, Allahabad and Singapore. Baghdad is near the Persian frontier, hard by the traditional site of old Eden, man's birthplace. Here on the classic soil of Babylon, Nineveh and Opis once flourished the pick of the human race; here was the center of the world's wealth, power, and civilization. And back to this ancient region modern men are turning, to reclaim its lost areas, open its mines and oil deposits—to restore the Garden of Eden! From the deck of a Tigris stenner Baghdad looms up boldly, its splendid skyline of domes and minaret remind one of some "midway" of World's fair memory. An odd pontoon bridge connects the two parts of the city, separated by the yellow Tigris. On the west bank is the old town, enclosed by date and orange groves. From here the new Baghdad-Mosul railway starts on its long run across the trackless desert. East of the river, on the Persian side, is "new" Baghdad, with its government offices, barracks, consulates, prisons, etc. Beyond, as far as the eye can reach in every direction, stretches the vast, flat, treeless, empty plain of Mesopotamia—a region once more populous than Belgium. To "go native" one must paddle ashore from the steamer in a "gooof," a queer, cornelike craft in use here since Jonah's day. A goofah is woven from willows about 6 feet in diameter, is perfectly circular and basket-shaped, and is coated outside with bitumen. Some say Moses was cut adrift in one of these gooofahs. Another strange craft at Baghdad is the "kelek," a Kurdish invention. The kelek is a raft made of inflated goat-skins, held together by poles and covered with a platform of straw mats. These keleks come down to the city in hundreds from Mosul, bringing wool, pottery, grain, and skins. Not the Baghdad of Ali Baba. A great wall encircles Bagdad. Flat-roofed, huddled Moorish houses, many almost windowless and each surrounding its own open court, are a distinct feature of the older parts of the city. On these flat roofs Arabs spend the summer nights with tom-toms, flutes, water-pipes, and dancing women. Facing the river, removed from the Arab town, are built the imposing foreign consulates, mercantile offices, and the sumptuous homes of rich Jews, Armenians, Greeks, and Syrians —the men who made New Bagdad. But the Baghdad of All Babad's day, with the splendor of Aladdin's enchanted age, is gone forever. The palaces, the mosques, and minarets are mostly in ruins. Even the tomb of lovely Lady Zobeide, favorite wife of Harun-al-Rashid, is tumbled down and decayed. It is into modern monuments to New Bagdad—into roads, bridges, public buildings, irrigation works, army organization, dredging the Tigris, etc.—that the prominent citizens put their money. Modern Baghdad is in safe hands now; no dissipated royalty guards its gates. Sober, clear-headed men, drilled in the best schools of modern Europe, able to hold their own anywhere, administer its affairs. As late as 1830 the Tigris overflowed its banks, swept through Baghdad, and drowned 15,000 people in one night. Allahabad Attracts Millions. Normally, Alihabad, India, is a city of 175,000 people. It lies in the V-shaped region between the Jumna and Ganges rivers, at the meeting place of the two streams. It is this location that draws huge crowds to the town annually; and, at twelve-year intervals, tremendous hordes. Both the Jumna and the Ganges are sacred streams, and their meeting place is doubly sacred. The mystical Indian mind finds still a third reason for holiness; it is believed by the pilgrims that the Saraswati, a river which is swallowed up by the sands southwest of the Punlah, emerges at the junction point of the Jumna and Ganges. Both the Ganges and the Jumna are coffee-colored streams, heavily laden with slit. At low water in late winter a large expanse of dusty sand is exposed below the Alahabad fort which stands on the bluff overlooking the confluence. It is on this beach that the millions of pilgrims assembled recently. The Indian police have their hands full during the great religious fair or Kumbh Mela. All vehicles are excluded from the river plain, and all efforts concentrated on maintaining order among the multitude of men, women, and children that move about in the dust, slip on the wet clay near the stream banks, and attain merit by bathing in the murky waters. A torrid sun beats down, and to screen its rays little shelters of rushes have been erected on the sands. Under these sit all manner of people wearing a minimum of clothing. Among them are holy men, their bodies smeared with gray coats of ashes. Groups of idols are set up that the faithful may contribute coins. Among the crowds go me, carrying water-skins, sprinkling the water in an effort to lay the dust that millions of bare feet stir up. The Kumbh Mela is a mecca for moneymakers, and the principal thoroughfare is lined with mat-shed shops for the sale of sacrificial brassware, tiny brass idols, holy berries made into dark necklaces, and shining brass bottles, zoned with mellow-tinted copper, in which holy water can be taken to remote parts of India by credulous people. Here and there one finds men with small furnaces full of heated pitch, sealing the water vessels so that not a germ or an atom of holiness can escape. Allahabad is old. In the enclosure of the fort is a pillar erected by Asoka, the great Buddhist king, during the Third century B. C. It may have been moved to the spot later, however, so it is not conclusive evidence that a town existed on the site of Allahabad during Asoka's reign. The first town known to history on this site was Prayag, about which a Chinese traveler wrote in 700 A. D. The Hindus still call the town Prayag, "the place of sacrifice." It received the name by which it is now known to the world from its Mohammedan conquerors in 1575. Singapore a Great Free Port. Singapore is an island 27 miles long by 14 wide and just misses being the southernmost point of the continent of Asia by a half mile water channel. It is at the funnel point of the Strait of Malacca which extends between the Malay peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the great water highroad between India and China. Little more than a hundred years ago the island, owned by the sultan of Johore on the nearby mainland, was a deserted jungle save for a little fishing village. Ships in the China trade passed it by as they passed many another jungle shore; the only ports of call in that region of the world were those on the Dutch islands of Sumatra and Java. But these ports took a big toll in fees, and Sir Stamford Raffles, an official of the East India company, began to dream of a free British port that would facilitate trade. In 1819 he obtained the seemingly worthless island of Singapore for his company for a small fee. Developments soon proved him a prophet, for within two years the little trading center he established had a population of 10,000. It was 1822 before the British government consented to take an interest in the place. In the little more than a hundred years since it was founded, the jungle of Singapore has given place to a huge city of close to 400,000 population, carrying on trade normally valued at a billion dollars annually—one of the metropolises of the British empire. Its quays and anchorage serve thousands of craft of all sorts and sizes, from the picturesque, graceful Malay sampans and the stodgy Chinese junks to the familiar freighters of the West, and what Kipling asserts are the "lady-like" liners. They build up Singapore's shipping to the tremendous total of 17,000,000 tons yearly. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. OCT. 20. 1934. PERSIAN INFLUENCE IN WINTER MODES Day and Evening Costumes Follow New Fad. Persian fashions will next lay their mark on women's winter modes which already have shown the influence of Austria and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth centuries in France. Rosine of Paris displayed numerous day and evening costumes topped by fitted gently-fared knee-length coats suggestive of those worn by the Persian inspiration. A gray wool frock embroidered with white dots and designed along stem-like accompanied a fitted knee-length gray wool coat with gray astrakhan collar rising high enough to veil the chin. Another gray costume combined a similar coat, collared with a astrakhan and piped with a band of bright red with a frock whose sleeves were embroidered with red and gold butterflies. It was accompanied by a peaked crown rolled brim but reminiscent of Turkestan. The evening mode likewise was reedolent of Turkestan with fitted knee length coats of flower-embroidered tafeta or black satin. SELF-HELP DRESS By CHERIE NICHOLAS JOHNSON This cunning frock earned its title in that it buttons down the front and so, seeing that the wee maiden who wears it can button it without the aid of mother or big sister, it is called a "self-help" dress. Recently the Chicago wholesale market district staged a style pageant a special feature being proper apparel for first school days. This attractive little gingham dress in bright plaid brought forth no end of applause. The narrow ruching trim down the front, the wide white collar and the tiny puffed sleeves are noteworthy style details. Any Fashion That Spells Simplicity Is Fa Simplicity is Favored Any fashion theme that makes a brief for style and simplicity has precedence over any other for consideration this fall. Hence the Japanese, and again the maniac styles that畅满 dramatic simplicity. These monastery types are done in black and white, a worthy successor to the "hood dress." Wide-wrist sleeves, close-to-the-throat necklines that have a "habit" quality, cord-like girdles are the formula. These are varied with metal cloths substituting for the more virginal white. Some of these dresses are made in tunic style. New Profile Hat Leaves Back of Head Uncovered The fall collection of Lilly Dache, milliner to some of the best-dressed women in the world, has been shown in advance of Paris and in brief sponsors "profile" hats. If your profile won't stand any ballyhooing, Dache offers "Cleopatra's Hat," which is worn straight on the head with wings across the front and both sides like a Dutch girl's cap. FLASHES FROM PARIS Mahogany is a featured color. Emphasis is on black for fall. Trimming details include fine shirring and smocking. Lelong creates bright tunics worn with black skirts. Lace ruffles finish display petticoats. Modernized robe de style vies with slinky silt-at-hemline silhouette. Couturiers work with moire velvet, chenille velvet and other novelty velvets. Fur Coat Lengths Thirty-three inches from neck to hemline is a smart length for fur coats cut on simple lines, with only a slight swagger. ay Your Co or an Acq THREE-POINT HATS POPULAR FOR FALL Milliners Fall Hard for Triangular Idea. This season we'll be all decked out in three-point hats, whether we choose a brim, a toque or a beret. The triangular urge has taken the millinery designers by storm. We have with us this fall, for instance, the three-point brim. It is a tricky little affair which combines the best features of the brimmed hat and the tricorne, presenting a brim with one point dipping dangerously over the right eye, and the other two perched at the sides, at challenging angles. Then there's the classic tricorne, which is effective in either felt or velvet, and has a military swank that was appreciated as far back as the days of Napoleon. The tricorne beret is a casual triangular affair, which arranges its three points in the way best suited to your own whimsy-whimsy, and which may be lamed on your water wave at any old angle and still come up smiling. The three-cornered urban still is another version of the geometric process of fashion, and sometimes resorts to little wings to emphasize its points further. THE QUEEN OF WALES If you would be in fashion you must wear more jewelry than you have been wearing during the last several seasons, for Paris so decrees. One of the interesting developments in this present fair for jewelry is the revived interest in pearls. The many-strand pearl necklace is proving itself to be a particular favorite with smart Parisiennes. The off-the-shoulder draped neckline of the pastel pink satin evening dress pictured at the top of this group is enhanced by a four-strand necklace fastened at the side by a rhinestone buckle. For glamor and gleam there is nothing comparable to sparkling rhinestones with the black evening gown. Centered in the group is a black chiffon dress to which a delicate necklace of rhinestones on a filigree chain, two crescent clips and twin bracelets add infinite charm. Now that the low-front decolletage is with us again necklaces become a smart necessity. Thirdly in this trio a powder blue line party frock is gaily accented by two red catalin bead necklaces and bracelets which repeat the color of the belt and the poppies in the field-flower bouquet. Wraps for Evening Wear Are Becoming Picturesque Evening wraps are becoming picturesque as women tire of the brief little capes and jackets and turn to a real wrap. Many of these wraps, while expressing the formality of a winter wrap, are in light colors and fabrics. One wrap is floor length of dazzling white silk jersey which folds around the figure like a Bedouin cape. When the arms are unfolded, the sleeves fall in wing-like draperies to the floor. It fastens high at the side of the neck-line with one jeweled ornament. STYLE NOTES Bands of fur outline hems of newest coats. Stiffened Puritan collars are fashionable. Colored belts are worn with dark dresses. Plaid taffeta sleeves and scarf animate black crepe frocks. Narrow slit skirt is decree for smart daytime wear. Duvetyne is included among high-style fall fabrics. Watch for high-crowned hats. They're on the way. Drawnwork Diamond drawnwork is a lovely trim for the yoke and sleeves of a dress in black canton crepe, a fabric appropriate for wear now as well as in the early fall. Fair Princess THE HORSE Princess Little Dawn, daughter of a chief of the Puebles, from Winslow, Arizona, is one of the features of that state's attractive exhibit at the World's Fair in Chicago. Little Dawn is a horsewoman of considerable merit on the Pueblo reservation, where almost every Indian learns to ride as a child. She is shown here with "Pinto," her favorite mount. Hero at Fair THE FIRST WORLD WAR Hundreds of orphans and underprivileged children who visited the World's Fair recently were made happier when they met their biggest hero, the famous Babe Ruth. The home run star accompanied the other New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox to the Exposition. Fair Champ A girl holding a duck. Here's a duck that Joe Penner could sell. For six weeks Rosemary has been laying three eggs per week in her hideout at Wings of A Century at the World's Fair where she appears in the cast. Champion ducks lay at the rate of four eggs weekly, so when one reflects that Rosemary must go on acting, her egg laying is not to be sneezed at. The coming champion is pictured here in the arms of Mary Ann Pearl, a juvenile member of the cast. "Negroes" were referred to as "coons" by Dr. John F. Conners, head surgeon at Harlem, N. Y., Hospital, during a recent meeting of the identification and in the presence of "Negro" doctors, who made absolutely no protest when one or more of them should have slapped his mouth.

The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois and New Jersey have forged a coalition to enact mob violence or anti-lynching and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years.

Coleman, repairman for The Ohio Bell Telephone Company at Columbus, but a life saver for the customer. Nonchalantly Coleman had undertaken the job of repairing a subscriber's line at the telephone office.

He was nonplussed. tact with the cantankerous line, the agitated repairman dashed madly to the subscriber's home. No one was at home. Obtaining a key, Coleman entered expecting to find a demon in unholly conversation with the god of thunder and lightning.

He traced the source of the drip ping to a leaky pipe on the second floor and stopped it in time to pre Things like that just didn't happen in telephone exchanges.

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 owner of a residence eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fine not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, 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 own. We use it when we should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Patron's Home tact with the cantankerous line, the agitated repairman dashed madly to the subscriber's house. No one was at home. Obtaining a key Coleman entered expecting to find a demon in unholly conversation with the god of thunder and lightning. Instead he discovered water dripping on an innocent-appearing lamp near the telephone. Electricity was leaping merrily from the lamp to the telephone and out over the line. He traced the source of the dripping to a leaky pipe on the second floor and stopped it in time to prevent serious damage. Needless to say, the owner is strong for Coleman's curiosity and equally apparent is the fact that the repairman approaches a troublesome telephone line with infinitely more respect than he did in the past.
