FOX FILM SPECTACLE. "CARAVAN", BRINGS 3 BIG MUSICAL HITS The new Fox Film musical spectacle, "Caravan," this week at the Quincy Theatre, introduces three gay song hits which already are gaining tremendous popularity through the country. The score was especially written for the picture by Werner Richard Heymann, brot to Hollywood from Vienna for this assignment. Three musical numbers are featured: the romantic "Wine Song," performed both vocally and on the violin by Charles Boyer, continental star of the musical "Ha-Cha and sprightly dance tune," "Ha-Cha and high-spirited number titled "Happy," I Am Happy." Other melodies were composed by Heymann to point the action of this romantic comedy, but these three are the outstanding tunes. Erik Carrell, famous European director, has used incidental music throut. In addition to Boyer, the cast of "Caravan" is headed by Loretta Young and Jean Parker. A ON WHAT'S DOING Our people of Ward 12 in large numbers showed the exceptionally friendly feeling they hold for Attty Alex, Bernstein, Republican ward leader, when they turned out almost en masse at the recent funeral of his brother, Bore Bernstein, who for months before his death had been in prison. Bernstein told who she was a great big, good-hearted, whole-souled fellow with hosts of friends They made the same showing when Councilman Herman Finkle's daughter died, some months ago. Finkle and Bernstein are brothers-in-law. Report has it that there were no less than a dozen of our lawyers down at the probate judge's office, last week, all seeking to be appointed administrator of the estate of Mrs. Adelia Barber who died, recently, at the Old Folks' Home. The two and a half years behind in Central Ave., about midway between E. 21st and E. 22d Sts, on the south side of the avenue, was willed to Mr. and Mrs. Barber by Fred Valentine, to use during their lives, after which it was to revert to Mt. Zion Cong. church, the Phillis Wheatley Association and the Old Folks' Home. It is said that Probate Judge Brewer, rather perturbed by the attorneys' request to have an investigator that day, saying he that he would take the matter under consideration for a while. The Scovill-Quincy cars that leave the east end of Quincy Ave. at 11 and 11:10 p. m. are invariably well crowded with young folk who patronize that Friday evening "jim-crow" roller-skating rink in Luna Park. As might be expected, they are loud noisy, course and "rough as pig iron," and are a "pain and if headache" to other passengers in the cars. The Rounder cannot understand for the life of him why Cleveland Street Railway officials do not have a police man detailed to these cars, for the protection of their conductors, if not several fights, every Friday night, or the cars if it were not for the good judgment used up-to-date by the conductors and motormen. The great majority of the skating rink patrons referred to, act like wild animals in the cars. Councilman John E. Hubbard, after promising to assist the proprietor of the Bryant gasoline station at E. $55th St. and Cedar Ave., whom the pastor of St. James A. M. E. church has made so much trouble, rather reneged when Mrs. Bryant took him in hand at Monday night's meeting of City Council. It seems that the councilman had promised to introduce a resolution favoring the station after Councilman Bundy had told him he could do so with good prospects of success. Later on in the evening when approached on the matter by Mrs. Bryant, he wished his promptness, that he might the emmity and opposition, in his candidacy for renomination and reelection this fall, of the Bryant's scores of friends in the 18th Ward who insist that the Bryant's are entitled to the square deal they are not getting from Rev. David O. Walker, pastor of St. James church. Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming, general chair, of the local entertaining committee, announces that our Nat'l Association of Women's clubs will meet in Cleveland in July. Dr. Mary Warwis of Chicago, president, will preside "LADY MACBETH" To Get Its American Premiere in This City, Next Week—Four of the Greatest Russian Singers to Participate. The musical event of the year, the American premiere of the colorful new Russian grand opera, "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk", presented by the Cleveland Orchestra under Director Artur Rodzinski in Cleveland's beautiful facility, will mark the Ohio operatic debut of four of the greatest of Russian singers, An- ANNA LESKAYA as "Lady Macbeth Mzensk" na Leskaya, Ivan Ivantzoff, Lyda Koretsky and Yasha Davidoff. The sensational opera will be given here, for the first time outside of Russia, Jan. 31 and Feb. 2; and in New York City, Feb. 5, in the Metropolitan Opera House with the Cleveland Orchestra and Rodzinski. The story of the opera concerns Katerina Izmaleva, who murders her husband, her father-in-law for the love of Serget, a young servant on her estate, and then loses him to LYDIA KORETZKY in "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk" Sonetka as they are sent to exile in Siberia for the crimes. Despairing, she then kills Sonetka and commits suicide. The action takes place in 1840 in the town of Mzensk, Russia. The scenes are laid in the Izmailova home, in Katerina's bedroom, in the police station and on the highway of exile in Siberia. Great interest in the opera is shown by the advance orders for tickets, priced from one to three dollars, at Severance Hall, Taylor's, and at the agencies in many Ohio cities and towns. VICTORY LIFE CENTER Moves From Chicago to New York City, at Last—The Company's Assets and Surplus Increased. New York City—Control of The Victory Mutual Life Ins. Co. now practically centers here in Dr. P. M. Savory, chair, board of directors, and C. B. Powell, first vice-pres. and chair, finance committee. The assets have increased $40,000 under the image, funding now at $88,726.70. The surplus has increased from $46,700 to $102,193.54. The company has been readmitted to the state of Illinois and the District of Columbia, and expects soon to re-enter New York State. The home office is at 5607 S. State St., Chicago. Our Buying Power in the South. Washington, D. C. — Southern Afro-Americans have a purchasing power of two billion dollars a year, it is estimated by the U. S. Commerce Department. The estimate is based on a survey of 17 cities in the South, where it was found that approximately $80,000 spend $308,000,000 each year. The small merchant in the South, sells annually more than 101 million dollars of merchandise. The survey showed that Afro-Americans have a purchasing power of more than sons generally at the same income level. They own 700,000 homes in the South with a total value of three-fourths of a billion dollars. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NORTH! The Nation's Capitol ER OF THE ROOSEVELT ADMIN- TION THRU F. E. R. A.

How It Is Done in Los Angeles, California, and Other Cities in This Section of the Country— In Cleveland! Los Angeles, Calif. — (CNA)—Strictly speaking, the construction of a transmission line to bring power from Boulder Dam to Los Angeles was not a relief project. But the city so consistently ballybounced it as a re-employment measure that it merits consideration in a series of articles devoted to "jim-crow" in relief. Never has there been a more fragrant case of discrimination. To begin with, not more than 150 workers, not more than 40 at any given time on the construction of the transmission line being built by the city-owned bureau. The men were rotated in order to give employment to as many persons as possible. Boulder Dam is about 500 miles from this city and a string of camps for the men, about 100 miles, were established. There were six camps in all. But in only one of them could "Negroes" work. That one was Harvard Camp. The number employed at Harvard Camp varied greatly from time to time, but it probably reached its height. There were also a number of whites in the camp. White workers got the skilled work and received from $5.50 to $8.50 per day. "Negroes" did the unskilled work. They got from $4 to $4.50 per day. Strict "Jim-Crow" in Camp. The servant work at the camp was done by "Negroes." There was only one dining hall. But in that hall were two tables. "Negroes" sat at one table; whites at another. None dared violate the rule that there should be no mixing. At one time the camp-doctor was Dr. Dickerson Hawkins, brother of Assemblyman Augustus F. Hawkins of Los Angeles, 62d District. Dr. Hawkins sat at the Atlanta, Georgia—Atlanta University Library has just received a gift from Oswald Garrison Villard, a copy of The Liberator of May 27, 1842. Mr. Villard is a grandson of the great abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, the high-minded idealist who provided the chief impetus of the abolition movement. Garrison's actions as a militant in starting the campaign against slavery is conceded by historians. The Liberator, the mouthpiece of the Abolition movement and of the more intelligent colored people, was first published on January 1, 1831, just one hundred and four years ago. This is one of the three notable events in 'the history of the anti-slavery controversy. The first number of the Liberator contained an "Address to the Public" which sounded the keynote of Garrison's career: "I shall contend for the immediate or slave population—I will be as harsh as truth and uncompromising as justice on the subject—I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation—I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard!" The Liberator was voluntarily discontinued by Garrison in 1865. Carence Cameron White, director of music at Hampton (Va.) Institute, directed Quinto Maganini's orchestra in a number, White's "Bandana Sketches," at its chamber symphony concert given at the Institute, Jan. 12.

EWESIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. "Negro" table. There were ten shower baths. Five were marked "reserved." Those five were for the whites. The other five were used by "Negroes." There were two toilets. One was for whites and one was for "Negroes." There were separate washrooms. In short, a perfect system of "jim-crow" was worked out and foisted on the men. It reached the height of something or more than a sign in the toilet informing the man that "No Mixed Gaming Permitted!" In short, every effort was made to show the workers that there were "differences between them that could never be bridged," at work, in social affairs or in recreation. The Men Responsible: Again there had never been any trouble to get the justification to these "jim-crow" activities. The whole "jim-crow" set-up was the creature of higher-ups—the men who practice keeping races apart in order to spread and perpetuate the present system of racial division in the South and all that goes with it. Southern "crackers" at the nation's capital are the responsible parties. And all of this was permitted by the city of Los Angeles owned by the city of Los Angeles. For here municipal ownership is firmly entrenched. Theoretically, at least, "Negroes" have a stake in that city-owned enterprise and there is something grimly ironic in their playing at owning (in part) a concern that discriminates against them. The truth is, of course, that "your city-owned bureau of power and light" doesn't belong to the people at all but belongs to those people. Lorren Miller U.T. COMM. WARREN, U. S. N. "Good eyes are an asset in any walk of life but in the navy they are a necessity," according to Lt. Comm. Philip W. Warren, U. S. N., in charge of all recruiting in the Cleveland district. He is a graduate of Annapolis and has seen wartime service in the Navy. Each day the recruiting stations all over the country are turning down young men who seek admission to the navy because their eyesight is defective. The same thing is true at the medical examinations for admission to the naval academy. It is for this reason that we of the navy are heartily in favor of the drive for the preservation of eyesight which the Cleveland Sight Saving Council has inaugurated. Ethiopian boundary.

SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1935. A Mr. Kohn is at the head of the Government's "housing" organization in control of the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central areas in this city. As we went to press, Thursday The Gazette received from Councilman Ernest J. Bohn a copy of his letter to the U. S. Director of Housing PWA, published in a local daily paper, Wednesday. Thanks, Mr. Bohn. Since our vote is approximately one-third of the Republican vote of the city of Cleveland, Council President A. L. DeMaioribus should have given us representation on the committee of five members, he appointed, Monday evening, to go to Columbus to assist the mayor and other city officials lobby in the interest of the pending "deficiency bond" bill. If the bill is enacted by the State Assembly, a special election will be held. United support of our vote will be absolutely necessary if success is to be attained, Mr. DeMaioribus. "There will be no race segregation in the new federal housing here or in any other city. It can't be done. It won't be done," Councilman Ernest Bohn, president of the national association of housing officials, said Tuesday. For Mr. Bohn's information, we call his attention to the race segregation in the Atlanta housing project, in the vicinity of Atlanta, Ga. University, the biggest in that city. His effort to secure a statement against segregation from Col. Horatio B. Hacker, director of the housing division of Public Works Administration at Washington, D. C., will not be successful, because segregation is an established rule generally at the behest of southern Democrats who control the Roosevelt administration. --- Federal Emergency Relief Administration nursery schools "exclusively for colored children" have been approved by the state superintendent of public instruction in Michigan, and other northern states. This is but one of the many ways the southern Democratic controlled Roosevelt administration is using to "jim-crow" the North and make it as near like the South as possible, so far as our people are concerned. The "jim-crow" Outhwaite "housing" project in this city is another. Not a word of protest do we hear from "Negro" Democrats. They sure are "gluttones for punishment." There is no "Negro" attendance in FERA nursery schools in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wyoming, the government reports. Rumor has it that "our" new congressman from Chicago, Mitchell, is doing his level best to get into the good graces of the "cracker" congressmen from the deep south. We are not surprised. The Chicago branch of the Roosevelt "jim-crow" organization would not be so foolish as to permit anything more aggressive than a solid, substantial, handkerchief-headed w. f. n. to enter Congress and be addressed by Democratic "gentlemen" from Mississippi as the "gentleman" from Illinois. Congressman Mitchell will probably be silent on all lynchings which occur during his term of office. Unless all signs fail, he will only become "news" when he feels it imperative, in order to curry favor with his Democratic colleagues, to justify discrimination against his own race. SAVE OUR SCHOOLS. Our people should be on their guard, too, against the dangerous propaganda emanating from the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, aimed at the American public-schools.' Inasmuch as unemployment is at a high level and is not destined to decline appreciably soon, leaders of the chambers of commerce wish taxes reduced. As their own children are in private institutions of learning, they are willing to see the schools of the masses harmed in order that their tax-bills can be reduced. Organized resistance can halt the game of these astute, calculating gentlemen. Parent-teacher bodies, which include a considerable number of our people, must be on the alert. Otherwise we may / rest assured "Alabama will come to Ohio." Do not let the public-school program be curtied materially. GREYHOUND BUS SUIT. Thru her attorney, the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, Miss Willetta Brown, of 5717 Kinsman Rd., has entered suit against the Pennsylvania-Greyhound (Bus) Lines for violation of our Ohio Civil Rights law. Miss Brown asks $2,500 damages as the result of a refusal of service in a restaurant at Cincinnati, on account of her color or racial connection, or both. In her petition she tells a pitiful story of refusals of service and mistreatment by bus officials and a prejudiced passenger while en route thru Kentucky and Tennessee to her destination in Tennessee, Tenn., that from the bus driver and passenger being exceptionally insulting and contemptible. The Gazette trusts that Miss Brown not permit her attorney to "settle the case" with the company, but insist on the latter being brot into court and our people of the community as well as herself given the full benefit of a court victory which will help all concerned more than two dozen civil rights cases "settled out of court." According to Miss Brown, the company's local claim adjuster and agent told her that it did not advertise in "Negro" newspapers and that "that was a clear indication that the company did not desire the patronage of 'Negroes.'" That claim-agent needs to be told that public carriers in Ohio are not permitted, under this state's laws, to decide that point but must carry ALL citizens, including the so-called "Negro," or be amenable to our Ohio Civil Rights Law. This the Pennsylvania-Greyhound (Bus) Co. will be made to thoroughly understand at the conclusion of Miss Brown's damage suit. HOUSING COLOR-LINE. For nearly a year, The Gazette has been telling its readers what would be the rule in renting to tenants to occupy the houses to be provided in the Cedar-Central area by the government in carrying out its housing plan. Few seemed to credit the statements and fewer paid attention to them. But all "woke up with a bang", last week, when the local daily press published a statement from the government at Washington to the effect that the Outhwaite area, would be "for Negroes" and the Cedar-Central area "for whites." Some of our people are consoling themselves with the statement issued by the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, that injunction proceedings may be instituted against the government. The southern Democratic controlled Roosevelt administration, which controls the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central so-called housing-projects, is NOT permitting laws of any kind to interfere with its isms, asms and projects. So challenging the legality of the use of federal funds for such segregational projects will prove to be a waste of time, whether the latter are constitutional or "unconstitutional." So Councilmen Bundy, Finkle, Hubbard and Payne's protest-resolution, introduced in Monday evening's meeting of City Council, will prove just as effective as the sneeze of a Chinaman in his native country. What they can do, however, that will prove effective, is to hold up the street vacation ordinances for the Cedar-Central and Outhwaite areas until the segregation rule for both areas is abandoned by the government's representatives that made it, as Councilman Bundy suggested, the first of the week. We trust they will do this. Monday evening when Councilman Payne moved for a re-reference to committee of the street vacation legislation, Councilmen Herbert R. Cuyler and Clarence L. Young said this appeared to them as a rather vindictive move and with Councilman Ernest J. Bohn that it might delay the start of construction of buildings in the area. Now isn't that just too bad—their fears of delay? Better wipe out the whole thing than permit the segregation. Councilman Bundy said the street vacation ordinances might be used as weapons to impress on the government a realization "that it erred in ordering segregation in the housing projects," and he is right. That is exactly what our councilmen and Herman Finkle must bring about. That is their big job! And our people of this community will watch, with exceptional interest, the progress they make. All four, Hubbard, Payne, Bundy and Finkle, are to stand as candidates for re-election this fall. So "step on the gas," in this matter, gentlemen! RACE PREJUDICE "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. JAN. 26. 1935. THIS GUY KEEFE.

Business men and women particularly should recognize the fact that advertising with circulars, bills and cards, distributed by hand or otherwise, are of little use in convincing a purchaser, and more often give him the impression that the thing advertised is an article of low quality. Those who seek to sell seemingly lose sight of the fundamental idea in advertising, namely, to give the thing advertised a high quality by advertising through a legitimate medium. Purchasers as a rule pay little attention to circular and handbill advertising because the medium through which it is advertised shares none of the responsibility as to the reliability of the thing advertised.

Dept. 828 Cincinnati, Ohio CHICAGO — Waxey white and glowing red are the beautifully proportioned sides of beef which hang in the packhouse chill rooms after the International Livestock Exposition. They represent the destiny of the blue blooded steers which won the prizes at the great stock show and they serve to teach every housewife the lessons regarding good beef which are so important to her self and her family. H. A. Stark, president of the Central Association of Retail Meat Dealers of Chicago, was my guide at this year's showing of prize beef at the Armour and Company Wholesale market and the trip was most instructive. "Every retail meat dealer wants to sell good beef, and he will sell it if his customers demand it," Mr. Stark said. "It isn't difficult to see that these cattle will make the very best steaks and roasts." "In the first place, the fat covering the carcass is creamy white, showing the effect of proper feeding which will be noticeable in the flavor of the meat. When this side of beef is cut, you will see little specks of fat all through the meat. We say that sort of meat is 'marbled', and beef with this characteristic is tender and flavorful. The "It is a mistake to think of beef only in terms of the most expensive steaks and roib roats. Pot roast from the forequarter of these show cattle, and of all good beef, is delicious and nothing is more appetizing than a Swiss steak from the round." This last point of Mr. Stark's is important. Armour and Company paid 8¾ cents a pound for the grand champion load of steers at the International Livestock Show auction. Mr. Stark pointed out that when a show ring price is paid for choice beef, the retailer must get his increased cost largely out of the ribs and the loins. "The rib roasts and loin steaks of the grand champion load," he said, "if sold at retail, would have to bring between $3 and $4 a pound." Market prices for rounds and quarters do not vary as much with the quality of the beef. Of course, the liveweight price of $38\frac{1}{4} cents was high—the highest load price paid in five years at the show and about four times the regular price of prime steers in the stockyards. But the comparison of retail prices on the loins and ribs is an excellent illustration of why the economical housewife makes it a practice to serve the less popular cuts of choice beef as frequently as possible. 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 which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purp and intending to do damage injury to any one or retending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 163 1.) comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury occurred theft 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 injury 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 will be distributed among the next of kin according to the law of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. 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 mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or MOBS. comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble in our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them that they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. Puerto Rico, Nassau, Panama, and close their portals, tourist agencies are besieged with queries about Florida resorts; and railroads, and steamship lines spend their annual advertising appropriations, boasting the merits of cities on their routes. North Florida is as different from south Florida as lower Alabama is from Cuba. Colonists had settled and developed an ante-bellum cotton and tobacco aristocracy at Tallahassee and thereabout when lower Florida was still a howling wilderness. Even today, we are told, one-fifth of all Florida's population was born in Georgia and Alabama; but that will not be true a decade hence. Long ago, when bears tatted on crabs and turtles' eggs where Miami Beach and Palm Beach now blossom, Spaniards built St. Augustine and Pensacola and connected them with a 400-mile military highway. You motor over much of this same old line now when you drive from Jacksonville west to Mobile and New Orleans. In the Cathedral at St. Augustine are to be seen crumbling, parchment-bound records of marriages and baptisms among Spaniards and Indians dating back to 1600. Yet Florida—but for that settled strip along her upper edge—stood still for generations, while the rest of America was in the making. The reason, of course, was the trend of migration to the Great West. Till recent years, when better communication came and America's food habits began to change through intensive distribution methods, refrigerator cars, and high-power advertising, there was no great consumer market for the golden winter fruits and green vegetables which the state today grows. Nor, till long after the Civil war, did manufactured fertilizer, on which Florida agriculture now depends, come into general use. Also, years ago, there was yellow fever. In epidemic days it paralyzed Pensacola, New Orleans, and Havana. Then came Reed, Carrol, Gorgas, and other great men of medicine, and through science life was made safe for whites in mosquito lands. As science whipped mosquitoes, so bold builders conquered swamps and jungles, and humanized coral-born keys, tying to the nation's railway net a new world of strange sights and smells. Down to Tampa the steel was thrust, annexing a quaint, Spanish-speaking city. And down this line in '88 roared boys in uniform, "average Americans," seeing Florida first on their way to help in a war of independence. "Remember the Maine," cried girls atwayside stations, as troops rolled south to Tampa. Old men rung church bells; boys ran to enlist for the war in "Cuby." Uncle Sam's first armed racket overseas since 1815. Far down the then empty east coast pushed yet another spearhead of t. in steel, a "seagolng" railway, "Flagler's Folly," critics said of the one man with vision who built and paid for it. "A railroad and a string of railroad-owned, millionaire hotels down in that empty wilderness! There's no freight to haul, no passengers, no customers for all those palatial hotels." But Flagler looked across at Cuba; he looked up, saw the sun, and felt the trade wind's kiss. Then, in his mind's eye, he probably saw what critics with sensory eyes alone could not see—he saw the earth tracking in space, tilting first one end and then the other, making the play of seasons, but leaving Florida more sun than any other place in the eastern United States! On down the coast he went with his horse and buggy. Back in New York, where many calamity howlers lived, it was below zero; yet all about the warm sunshine bathed this Land of Flowers that lured Ponce de Leon centuries before. "The people will come," Flagler said. And they came. Hotels built decades ago—and flocks of newer hotels—at times turn real dollars away in droves, so great is the mass demand for bed and board; and thousands more rush on, down over his seagoing railway, to Havana. "Flagler's Folly" indeed! Then freight came—an amazing traffic with Cuba — even as Flagler dreamed. Cuba is our second best customer in all Latin America, trade statisticians tell us. They Go by Plane. Too. Sliding down the sunbeams, like giant roller coasters of the sky, come now the planes. Into greater Miami, with its many airports, flying fields, and seaplane docks, from Cuba, Haiti. "Flagler's Folly." Puerto Rico, Nassau, Panama, and South America come and go the big three-motored cabin ships. Customs men are at the airports to inspect bags and ask for duties, while immigration officials examine passports. Restless, absorbing America! Land of magic economic change that fathered Florida! You sense its fine aggressive spirit when, riding in from sea, you watch Miami and Miami Beach silhouette their towering architectural masses against a sunset sky. Amazing they are, in their effect of stark simplicity and power, lifted by puny men from the sand pits and mangrove swamps of yesterday. Always the contrast persists. Ten miles west, the Everglades; a crane gulping down a wriggling snake, a 'gator pulling under a wild duck; a chiming Seminole, silent, watchful, in his dugout; abysmal waste, solitude, fascinating to the naturalist. Yet, if you think in time and not space alone, you can vision what Florida's population must some day be. It is the way of subtropic lands, where living is easy, as in the West Indies. Life here has a different tempo, a sort of tropic rhythm. Sun, sand, the blue sparkling waters of the Gulf Stream, blossoms of every hue, and waving palms bring a sense of luxury even to the masses. Tobacco and Tourists. West of Tallahassee one rides past many tobacco fields where plants are grown under "shades." These shades are made by stretching thin cotton cloth over frames of poles and wires, for farmers have found they may best grow certain vegetables under the same properly tempered conditions in all seasons. Tobacco seed, for planting in Virginia and elsewhere, is often grown in Florida, since better seed develops where plants enjoy the longest periods of daily sunshine. Of course, sharp clashes of ideas, to make conversation an adventure, are rare among tourist groups here. They have too much in common. In fact, there's a mass attitude, or attitudinizing, and a standard terminology for all popular tourist themes, such as fishing, golf, tennis, pitching horseshoes, the folly of booms, or the "bad weather back home." A blizzard in Pennsylvania, or any northern section from which tourists largely come, is always a front-page story in Florida papers. One intellectual oasis, however, is the "open forum" at St. Petersburg. In a park there, after the band concerts, crowds of many hundreds remain for organized debate and good-natured harangue. Argument is rife on any theme from egg-laying contests to whether the influence of Ibsen is permanent or evanescent. Socially speaking, in Florida the whole is not equal to the sum of the parts. You cannot add St. Petersburg, for example, to Palm Beach or Miami, because you cannot add unlike things. Life among the idle well-to-do at east coast resorts, as pictured in Sunday rotogravures, is a familiar theme, Sunburned beauties sprawling under beach umbrellas; self-anointed social queens in raiment that would discount Joseph's cost of many colors, being trundled along under the palms in an "afromobile"; fleets of private yachts and comfortable houseboats at anchor; gay race crowds or dancing groups under moonlit palms—all these are well-advertised aspects of Florida wintervisitor life among those who, with many servants and mountains of baggage, move leisurely north each year, following the march of spring from resort to resort, up and down the Atlantic coast. Just the same, one finds at the principal resort centers like Miami and Palm Beach the finest sort of concerts and lecture series made up of world-famous artists and cultural speakers, and there is an overlowing attendance. But in all America there is probably no group just like the 150,000 or 200,000 fine type of farmers and small-town folk who visit St. Petersburg. It is an amazing sociological phenomenon, peculiar to this unusual state. It is worth contemplating. Here flourish 31 different clubs and societies, formed among tourists from various cities and states. There are even clubs of Canadians and Scandinavians, half a world away from their homes. There are dance, dramatic, and sunshine card clubs; clubs of roque, croquet, and shuffleboard players and a Three-Quarter Century club, all of whose members are more than seventy-five years of age. And there is a municipal solararium, with its Sun Bathers club—in all more than 1,000 people—who lie about in little more than nothing every day, exposed to the sun's rays, to store up health at a minimum cost—and they are serious-minded folk not publicity-seekers. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. JAN. 26. 1935 WINTER OUTFITS ON METALLIC STANDARD Women Soon Will Be Attired Completely in Armor. The fashion designer who predicted that women soon will be completely attired in metal armor may have been a little faretched, but the fact is that the smartest winter wardrobes just now are strictly on the metallic standard. Not, you understand, that you need a can opener to get out of the gleaming metallic costumes that sparkle in our best night spots these days. There is nothing reminiscent of clanking armor in the silvery new lames and metal brocades. As a matter of fact they have a liquid quality rivaled thus far only by the most slinky satins in bringing out the best points of the great American figure. The new streamline trains have nothing on the sheer, modern simplicity of line emphasized in the metallic evening gowns of the season. With daring austerity they follow the unbroken line of the figure, and turn the modern debutante into something that looks like a slenderized edition of the Venus de Milo cast in shining gold. THE FASHION WEEKLY Bruyere of Paris creates this delightful evening ensemble in terms of metal cloth and velvet. The dress features the silhouette which adopts the simple lines of a monk's garb. The cord and tassel girdle is in keeping with the idea and is such as designers are widely featuring this season. The call for glitter and gleam in the evening mode is answered in the sparkling gold and red lame which fashions the dress and the youthful evening hat. The cape is of velvet in a golden tone to blend in with the general color scheme. A square gold buckle closes it at the throat. Spangles in Black Adorn Latest in Paris Gowns Philippe et Gaston takes a million or so spangles in bright jet black for a new frock. The entire gown from this house is made of the spangles, varying slightly in size from small confetti to the size of a five-cent piece. They are placed, one barely overlapping the other, beginning with the small ones near the waist and increasing to the hem. Upward from the waist to the shoulders the same process is observed. In the corsage—which is cut very low and oval—and forming a Queen Elizabeth effect collar in the back from shoulder to shoulder, are bands of diamante. There is no belt on the gown, the spangles seemingly molded to the body in an unbroken line. STYLE NOTES Outlook for navy looks promising. Glittering blouses are the popular sort. Viollets are again smart for corsage. Lei necklaces of flowers are in fashion. Watch pleatings. Entire skirts go pleated. Resort modes stress striking exotic prints. Choose pastel taffeta for children's party frocks. New Frocks Show Peasant and Cossack Inspiration Peasant and cossack influences are felt increasingly in dresses. Daytime dresses are showing the soft easy bloused lines gained by shirrings and panel sections. Coats are showing a cossack flair and the Russian belt is everywhere in evidence. Prints and monotones show the gay peasant colors. A rich shade of blue called mosaic runs through many of them. Interesting Ensemble Interesting is the design of a beige coat, made with a big ripple collar failing to the waist, the collar edged with black astraknah which turns into a belt and fastens in back. A black satin dress completes this ensemble. VEILS GIVE SMART TOUCH TO ANY HAT Big or Small, Paris Goes for Them in Large Way. Paris has taken the veil—or at least taken to it—in a big way. No hat is really self respecting these days unless it has its own veil—large or small, elaborate or simple. Smart Parisians have rediscovered that they flatter and give "that certain air" to even the plainest little chapeau, and they are using them on all occasions to add the final decorative touch to all their hats. They find them particularly nice with the little pill box type of hat. The veils of most of these little hats are of the stiffened type, and use either horsehair or cellophane at the edge, in amusing embroidered patterns, to give them stiffness and make them stand out in halo effect from the bonnet. Usually they are applied over the entire hat. Other veils in the new fashion are embroidered in cellophane, silk thread, metal thread, or in chenille or fine velvet bands. They are adaptable for any shape or size. The whole of Paris is saying, "You must wear a veil if you want to be really smart." There is a tricky new round velf, embroidered at the edge with gold thread, and with a six-inch medallion of the same embroidery in the center, which is just the thing to drape over the beret to make it gay and eveningish. SMART SKI SUIT By CHERIE NICHOLAS When a lady of fashion goes skiing or skating her costume must be as up to the mark in chic, as carefully planned as if she were dressing for an opera premiere or a ball in the governor's mansion. In the way of rugged outdoor sportswear, the outfit pictured is high style in every detail. Navy blue engagined fashions this attractive ski and skate suit. It is belted in a practical way and has convenient patch pockets. The stunning white knitted accessories have a brightly colored Norwegian design. Dull Braid Now Favored For Ornamental Purposes Collars, collarrettes and fancy neck- openings with sometimes matching bows, cuffs or jabots—all these dainty trimmings that Paris calls "colifchetts" and which were so much in vogue last spring—haven't said their last word for winter. The pique and organde of last summer will be replaced this season by dull braid combined with lame. These ornaments are always very be- coming and are used to enhance a black woolen dress. The braid is either in white or in delicate colors such as pink, pale blue or green, beige, delicate yellow, turquoise, silver gray, etc. The braid is disposed in bands showing open- work in the-intervals or just inserted with lame bands or linked together with lame threads in knitted or crocheted work. There are some models that are entirely lined with the same lame. Plain gold or silver lame has the preference. FLASHES FROM PARIS Sheer dark blue hose are worn. Couturiers are showing gowns of owns. Gathered fullness about neckline and yoke in peasant fashion bespeaks the new silhouette. Tweeds for Sports In sports wear, tweed mixtures, checks and chevroons flourish, with emphasis on browns, beige, grass green and navy. Fur trimming is modest. For a black wool coat narrow bands of black astrakhan are used horizontally in tied effect to make big patchpockets, and similar bands fashion a very small collar and restrained cuffs. Fair Cows Trod World's Most Costly Cowpath THE CATTLE EXPO Three cows from the Brook Hill farm at the Chicago World's Fair ambling through a tunnel under a twenty-two story office building at 100 West Monroe street, Chicago, which is kept open for the passage of cattle under the terms of a deed dating back to 1844, and represents a land value of $177,000 and an annual loss of $10,000 rental to the present owners of the property. With the cows is Louis Jones of Chicago, the grand-nephew of William Jones who purchased the land from the government in 1833, and started a dairy farm in the spring o 1834, just one hundred years ago. The dairymails who took part in the ceremony are (left to right): Ruth Andreas, Chicago, who was "Miss McHenry County" for two years while a resident of Marengo, III., Miss Helen Hallberg, of Brook Hill farm, Wisc., and Miss Elizabeth Rucies, of Chicago Ridge, III., 1928 Cook county high school health champion. FHA Program Offers Cure For Family Squabbles THE CAFE The Federal Housing Administration program makes it possible for any home owner to gain an extra room, that will put an end to squabbles started when members of a family get in each others way. A basement can be converted into an auxiliary room, if the heating equipment is modernized. Upper left, shows a basement used as a "rumpus room" where the more boisterous members of a family can seek recreation and leave the others in peace; upper right, a gymnasium; lower left, a laundry and play room; lower right a workshop. Under the housing program a home owner can obtain funds for the necessary heating modernization through a bank or through any of 6,500 heating contractors displaying the red, white and blue "Better Housing Program" flag. Styles May Change but Bicycles Just Keep Rolling Along THE BICYCLE GROUP 5 CLAD in blouses and shorts, this bevy of 1934 girls enjoys new freedom in bicycling which their sisters of 1900 could not possibly have known in their leg o' mutton sleeve shirtwaists and lengthy skirts. You can tell from the lower photo, however, that an afternoon spin was some fun even in those days. The women formed clubs and attended social functions on their wheels then just as they are doing now, the only difference being that clubs of today are bigger due to the unprecedented interest in the bicycle as a medium of keeping fit.
