Dear Sir:—A group of arteriosclerotics, mentally and physically mummified, have apparently banded together in order to discover who ever wrote the invention of speech in Cleveland and thereby present a threat to entrenched and corrupt wealth. "That is the 'Secret Sewer.'" When Octavus Roy Cohen, in his inimical stories, pictured Florian Shappe, Lawyer Chew, and that celebrated fraternal order, "The Sons and Daughters of I Will Arise," he imagined he was producing light humor. But alongside of the "Secret Seven," that fictitious lodge maintained by the colored brethren of Birmingham, Alabama, turns out to be nothing more original than the Odd Fellows or the Knights of Pythias. The senile lads with the hardened arteries, Cleveland's self-constituted leading citizens, are the only true friends of mumbo-jumbo. The colored brother or sister who "totes" a sword up central Avon on plains, and a friend we meet, with a few hundred similarly-bedecked imitation warriors, will no longer be a subject for mirth or ridicule. The doges of the Chamber of Commerce have stolen their stuff and have gone them several points better. We wish that was all there was to the mysterious local band of ultrasectionaries, but we are not fooling ourselves. These decadent gentlemen represent dying Bourbons endeavoring to stave off the death-rattle. They are beside themselves with fear; and in fright they will lay about them with Don Quixote strokes, hitting to the right and to the left, before them and behind them. Unfortunately, they are not hopelessly insane. Design still cloaks their growing madness. In order to preserve their swollen incomes, in order to stave off the growing resentment over the sales-tax and similar impositions upon the poor, the "Secret Seven" will anticipate the rising tide of opposition by hurling a broadside against ninety-five percent of the wealthy, and delimit "if you do not believe this is a perfect world you are a dangerous anarchist. We shall invoke the criminal syndicalism law against you. We shall wreck all liberal churches; we shall destroy public education. Like the scab laborers we hold in slavery, we intend to relegate ninety-five percent of Cleveland's inhabitants to the status of trained animals. Our weakness in the ability to build my mridions which wealth can command. Our goal is naked, intolerant, brutal Fascism. As has been pointed out economic forces are drawing dispossessed white and colored men and women together. The "Secret Seven." hastening to evoke an era of industrial feudalism, proves our contention. We would caution the Terminal Tower invisibles to read a little of the American history they profess to love so deeply. We advise them to study the organization of Independence, employing their weakening mentalities to the best of their respective abilities. It may occur to them that if they choose to sow the wind, they must not be surprised if they reap the whirlwind. $2,538,757 More for Ohio Feb. Ald. Columbia, O. A second partial grant for relief expenses in February was awarded Ohio, Monday, by Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins.

The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The Cotton Club, which was closed temporarily, last week Monday night, as a result of the illness of its director, Mr. Bernie Bernstein, was operated for all and not simply "for Negroes in Cleveland." It gives employment to about 75 members of the race. Councilman John E. Hubbard denies that he promised to introduce the resolution, The Rounder referred to, last week. Mrs. Calvin Bryant insists that he did; that he promised her to do so and that she was at the Council meeting, last week, for the purpose of seeing him keep his promise, and was greatly disappointed as a result. Mr. Bryant feels against the pastor of St James A. M. E. church, because of his opposition to the Bryant gasoline station, grows by leaps and bounds and by this fall will be a political mountain for Candidate for Re-Nomination Hubbard to climb as the following letter makes perfectly clear: At a recent meeting of the 18th Ward Republican club, President John E. Hubbard announced that the club would combine support of the four-mill levy at the special election, Tuesday, with a club-membership drive. Up jumped Clayborne George, Hubbard's political boss, and countermanded the president's instruc John E. Hubbard. tions. Atty. Harold Gassaway, a former president of the club, then arose and asked Mr. Hubbard if he did not know what he wished to do in the matter and if he intended to obey his boss' order. Something Hubbard did, it is reliably reported. My, but he is making tons of trouble for himself which the discredited George will be unable to relieve him of, this fall. Meantime candidates for the City Council in the 18th Ward are bobbing up like dandelions in the spring. When the combined chorus or choirs声 "All God's Chillun Got Wings" and then followed it with "Aint Gonna Study War No Mo," Sunday afternoon at Public Music Hall. The Rounder understood the motif, as musicians would say, and had a quiet laugh. There was only a "handful" of the other class or race of people, among the near two thousand of our people, there to hear these two "monkey" songs called "spirituals" and The Rounder was really thankful for the Clarence Darrow calls them, was expected and the two songs which "ridicule Colored people" were programmed for their especial benefit. Intelligent members of our race do not "fancy" the "monkey" songs regardless of the way certain "greys" and "Negroes" try to popularize them among both classes or races of people. The "grey" Catholics did not follow Bishop Schrems to Public Hall, Sunday afternoon, as anticipated by those of the NAACP local branch who were "first cousins" (in trouble) follow Rabbi Rosenthal, another one of the speakers for the occasion. The foreigners failed to follow Frank Sotak, "representative of the All-Nations group," still another speaker. But the people of the first man, black or "grey" (so-called "white") in this or any other country, to introduce and secure the enactment of an effective anti-lynching law, a resident of Cleveland for lo, these many years, was conspicuous as a result of his absence from Sunday afternoon's anti-lynching meeting, not even extended an invitation to attend and speak which of course he would not have done for obvious reasons. Regardless of what Walter White, secretary of the NAACP, still SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GE WAR ABYSSINIA.

It has been apparent to Ethiopians for some time that the border It followed the announcement that more Italian troops had been killed and wounded in fighting, Jan. 29, with Ethiopian forces near Ualualu, near the Abyssinian-Italian Somali and frontier, in northern Africa, but in Abyssinia. Five dead were listed among the native troops fighting under the Italian flag—an "incident" which has brot the smoldering conflict to a dangerous crisis. The clash was one of a series, encouraged by Italy, which has brot Abyssinia and Italy close to an open break. The fighting has been recurrent, particularly in the vicinity of the Abyssinian town of Ualualu near the border. Upwards of 100 lives have been lost, most of them natives fighting under Italian colors in its Somali army. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia, Africa.—The government was inclined to regard the Jan. 29 frontier clash with Italian troops no more serious than "a display of high spirits on the part of local Italian officers." Negotiations are proceeding with Italian representatives to settle the frontier dispute and create a neutral zone between the opposing border patrols. Between 50,000 and 80,000 Ethiopian troops, armed with modern rifles and machine guns, are ready for "any emergencies." Rome, Haile 12.—Ethiopia's emperor, Hail Selassie, has given the lie direct to Benito Mussolini's bristling accusations against Ethiopia. His statement, flatly denying Italy's charges that Ethiopians were the aggressors in recent African border clashes, was made public, tonight, thru the Hon. Negradas Yesus, Ethiopian charge d'affaires here, who earlier said his government would not pay one cent of the indemnity demanded for Italiani slain. The cable the Emperor sent to Abyssinia's representative here said the Ethiopian garrison at Geriogubi, near where the latest clash occurred, had not at any time "made any sally or attempt against the Italian garrison at Afdub." In vigorous side another speaker, said, Sunday afternoon, state legislation against the mob and lynch-murder is the best and the only kind we have or will ever get. Mr. White is still a young man and will learn this truth when he is 18. The police have lected, Sunday afternoon, hardly pays the hall rental. Dear Rounder:—As an old member of St. James A. M. E. church, of which Rev. D. Ormonde Walker is pastor, with many other members of the congregation I am unable to understand his vicious opposition to the proper operation of the Bryant gasoline station at the corner of E. 85th St. and Cedar Ave. nearly 200 feet away from the church. He has caused the west entrance to and exit from the station. O be assured, might small business to say the least, because that west entrance and exit is vitally necessary to the financial success of the station. Indeed, there are two or three large buildings between the church and the gasoline station. He does not seem capable of appreciating the fact that Calvin Bryant and his wife are largely dependent upon the proceeds of the station to support themselves and their children. Then, too, why battle a legitimate race business enterprise which could not harm the church, in any way, and why look with favor the gasoline station (white) diagonally across the street from and nearer to the church? What is the matter with Walker anyhow? No wonder St. James church has been and still is losing so many members. Sunday, if we understood the announcement, the pastor failed to raise sufficient funds for the presiding elder. Councilman John E. Hubbard is making a great mistake in failing to secure the adoption by City Council of a resolution relieving the Bryant gasoline station of the Walker opposition. He should recognize the fact that appalling the 18th Ward, will be here to vote long after Walker has left the city, which we trust will be soon The 17th Ward Republican club has indorsed the Mill-Levy, and the mayor for renomination and re-election --- Yours for right and justice, A St. James Member THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- with any will immediately estab- lish the country.

Oil Scen as Italy's Goal in Abyssinia. Italy's need of petroleum might well be at the bottom of her friction with Abyssinia, in the opinion of Dr. Kenneth Scott, head of the department's classes at Flora Stone Mather College, W.R. I., who passed some time in Italy last summer, Dr. Scott interviewed Mussolini and Italo Balbo and recalls that both stressed the fact that Roman remains in North Africa are constant reminders of the ancient Roman rule of that territory. "In my opinion, Italy would not be averse to acquiring Abyssinia if the cost in life was not too great. She could use the rich mines and especially the oil fields, and they are located in the place where colonization would be possible without treading on the toes of other European countries." Doings of the Race Our Pythians and Calanthians' annual Thanksgiving will be observed, March 24, '35. Our Afro - American Federated Catholics meet, this year, in Washington, D.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1935. Newspapers report that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has voluntarily consented to having his fingerprints recorded. We wonder what is holding back Mr. J. Arthur House of this city? --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt from Mr. Leyton E. Carter, secretary and director of the Cleveland Foundation, of his splendid publication entitled "The Debt Problem of Cuyahoga County and its Sub Divisions," a very careful study of the subject by Mr. Carter. With it came a summary statement especially useful in newspaper offices. Thank you, Mr. Carter. --- Isamu Noguchi, an American sculptor, son of a Japanese father, has carved a wonderful figure entitled "Death." The inspiration for Mr. Noguchi's creation is the George Hughes lynching at Sherman, Texas, last year. "Death" shows the body of the victim, lynch-murdered in the celebrated Athens of the South. Texas civilization, according to art critics, will now be immortalized by the work of this Japanese-American. To Americans of the twenty-first century, Texas culture and murder will be synonymous. VAN SWERINGENS "An Empire in Hock, the story of the Van Sweringen Railroads" by Daniel Dodge, published in the February number of The American Mercury, N. Y. City, valuable and exceptionally interesting, especially to local readers of The Gazette who will have difficulty securing copies of the magazine because of the great demand for them, will start as a short Walter B. Wright, Sr. serial, because of its length, in our next issue or as soon after as possible. So watch for it. It will be recalled that Walter B. Wright, Sr., of W. 55th St., was private secretary to several presidents of the Nickel Plate Railroad, until the Van Sweringens got control of it. The general impression among many of our folk is that the "Van" brothers were never friendly toward our people. AMERICANS "MODEST"? Feodor Chaliapin, the great Russian singer and actor, believes that "the U. S. government should sponsor a department of arts and music" and in support of his suggestion said in a recent interview: "You Americans should develop your own operas and symphonies under government supervision and endowment, controlled by your own outstanding artists and insist that foreign operas should be played in English in this country." Chaliapin is right. He also said: "You Americans are so modest. In Russia, if we wish to play 'Rigololetto' it is played in Russian; in Italy, 'Boris Godounoff' is played in Italian, and in Germany 'Carmen' is played in German. "But what have you here? Not even the beginning of a concentrated attempt, so far as I can see, to lay the foundations of your own art with your own artists, in your own language. Yet all admit that under- standing the action of the song will double the pleasure of hearing the music." All of which is true, but the white American, the greatest imitator in the world, of the Afro-American and European customs and ways, even yet, at this late day, fails to measure up, as Feodor Chaliapin calls attention to. He is wrong, however, in his "modest" statement. It is hardly "modest" to ape Europeans as white Americans do the English and for wealthy white American women to marry foreigners with nothing but titles, to say nothing of sitting thru operas, all these years, sung in foreign languages. It isn't modest but something else! Even our government has for many years permitted England to limit the size of our army and navy, etc., etc. Chaliapin's suggestion that "the U. S. government should sponsor a department of arts and music" is a good one but does not go far enough. BENITO'S OPERA BOUFE Premier Mussolini's Ethiopian "Opera Boufe" has engaged the attention, of the daily newspaper readers of the world, most of this week. Of course, this would not have been the case if Abyssinia was one of the leading countries of the world. To them, he has been preaching peace and helping some of them to negotiate it. But this opportunity, to make the "Opera Boufe" display, he feels is too opportune and too good to overlook. It not only affords him an excellent opportunity to make a display of Italy's army strength to the European and Asiatic countries, but also affords him an opportunity to whip a country that, years ago, routed the flower of his country's land-forces sent into Abyssinia to subjugate King Menelik's country. These are the two major objectives of Mussolini's latest "Opera Boufe." It would be to laugh but for the seriousness of the thing from an Ethiopian or Abyssinian standpoint. Ras Tafari, now Emperor Haile Selassie, Menelik nephew (if memory serves us correctly), has an army of about 80,000 warriors with modern arms, but only a few aeplenians, his army trained by efficient German officers, but hardly a match for Benito's 275,000 warriors and 100 aeplenians. However, the topography of Abyssinia is what enabled Menelik to win, years ago, and it may do the same thing for Emperor Haile Selassie. We hope so anyhow, if Mussolini's "Opera Boufe" goes that far. There is still a chance, it seems, for a peaceful settlement of Italy's and Ethiopia's differences, and if the League of Nations (Notions) is "worth a ran." this will be the case. As a matter of fact, Italian officers on the border of Abyssinia, undoubtedly under instructions from their leader, Premier Benito Mussolini, were the aggressors in the many conflicts with Ethiopian soldiers whom they claim have killed more than one hundred natives, wearing Italian uniforms, and some Italian officers in the numerous clashes of the last few months near Ualuala which is over the border in Abyssinia. The Italians claim it is not. There is the real cause of the trouble and the clashes. It furnishes the excuse for Benito's "Opera Boufe," which is but preliminary to an effort to avenge the whipping King Menelik and his Ethiopian army gave Italy, years ago, and to take over Abyssinia to add to Italy's African territory in her race to keep up, as near as possible, with France and England, in the acquisition of territory in Africa. Even Japan is active thereabouts, it is said, these days. PAYING THE EDITOR. (From the Foley (Ala.) Onlooker.) A kindly gentleman, his shoulders somewhat rounded by honest labor, but as agile and young as ever, came into this newspaper office the other day. His visit was no different from that of many of our other friends. He had merely come in to pay his subscription. He had come a distance of 12 miles. But more than just "paying up" for his paper, he offered profound apologies for being in arrears on his subscription a little over nine months. As he paid the $3.00 for two years he remarked, "It is a shame to towe for your home-town paper. We all get it, read it, and enjoy it. I knew it. I knew it and recently told me my wife I was going to put away a quarter, or dime, occasionally so that I'd have enough to pay for next time I came to work. Editors should be paid for their work. They need it. Editors do a great service for us, not only furnishing news about people we know, but somehow we understand your editorials better than those we read in other papers. Reckon it's just because they are written so plainly! Yes, sir, we all ought to keep our subscriptions paid up better than we do." And he went away smiling. To have one of our friends speak so knowingly of the actual work and expense connected with publishing even a small weekly paper, and to thus pay tribute to our writing, which sometimes we wonder whether the paper would be better off having us proud of our job, even if it isn't of proportions which warrant the wearing of a white collar and necktie. "Crackers" Showing Who Is "Boss" Now. Columbus. O—The Ohio Chamber of Commerce is seeking to promote a campaign to keep the South from taking away industries of Ohio and other northern states. The state chamber has sent a letter to each Chamber of Commerce in Ohio warning of "new threats to northern in- dustry." George B. Chandler, secretary of the Ohio chamber, said the Tennessee Valley Authority and the federal government "are planning to seek an adjustment of freight rate schedules to favor the south and to offer federal credit to industries which will locate in the south." Prime Sport News Jesse Levels repeated his Golden Gloves fyweight triumph over Lou Laurie in the feature match of Ollie Downs' amateur show at the Broadway- E. 58th Arena, last Saturday night. The two-time G. G. champion received the verdict on his infighting superiority. Willis Ward Led. Ann Arbor, Mich.—In the annual Michigan A. A. relays at Yost Field House, last Saturday night, Willis Ward carried off individual scoring honors by winning the 60-yard dash, the 65-yard high hurdles and deadlocking Grimm of Wayne University in the high jump. In the 60-yard dash, Ward equalled the existing A. A. U. record of 6.3. Four records fell and two others were equalled as more than 400 athletes participated. It was unofficially announced by the University officials, that Jamie Afrostar of Western State Teachers College, Kalamazoo, Mich., had surpassed the world-record for the 60-yard low hurdles. His time was 7-1 seconds. Jeby and Jones Still "Battling." Willie ("Gorilla") Jones and Ben Jeby, who were denied a $5,000 purse after the local Boxing Commission stopped their 12-round bout in Public Hall, April 19, 1933, in the sixth round, for "stalling," were entitled to a full and complete hearing before the commission, the Court of Justice, here ruled, last Saturday. Reversing that decision, Please Court decision which had sustained the commission in withholding the purse, Appellate Judges Manuel Levine and John J. Hynes remanded the case for trial. The decision gives the fighters the right to begin again their suits to obtain the $2,443 each of the penalty Pays dismissed from the ruling. Denial of "proper" hearing was called a "gross abuse of discretion" in the court's entry. Metcalfe Loses 2 of 3 Sprints. Morgantown, W. Va. — Beaten twice by a rising star from the University of Maryland, the veteran Ralph Metcalfe, formerly of Marquette U., came back with a burst of speed, last Saturday night, to take the 70-yard special sprint dash in seven seconds flat, equaling his own world indoor record. Earl Widymer (white of Maryland, the earlier Ralph Metcalfe in 60-yard and 50-yard sprints to electrify the crowd of approximately 2,500 fans at the seventh annual West Virginia indoor games, finished third in the final match with the Marquette ace. Peaceco, Afro star of Temple, who a few minutes later won the broad jump contest with a leap of 23 feet 4% inches in performance, Widymer earned the title of sprint champion, with eleven points to nine for Metcalfe and seven for Peaceco. Owens Wins 3 Firsts. Bloomington, Ind.—Coach Larry Snyder of Ohio State's track forces turned Jesse Owens loose here in Big Ten indoor competition, last Saturday, and the Cleveland sophomore, destined to be a second Ralph Metcalfe, personally conducted the "Bucks" to a 61% to 42% victory over Indiana, he alone accounting for 40 points in his Big Ten den. Owens, holder of the world indoor broad jump and 60-yard dash records, shattered two field-house marks as he scored three firsts and a second in four events for a total of eighteen points. His record-performances came in the jump, in which he soared 24 feet 6½ inches, and the 70-yard low hurdles, which he won in the 70-yard dash. He won the 60-yard dash in 6.3 seconds and finished second to Caldemeyer of Indiana in the 70-yard high hurdles. CITY SERVICES MUST GO ON! In spite of the most rigid economy and judicious management it is impossible for city officials to keep pace with the tremendous drop in revenue caused by reduction in the tax valuation and the change in the tax rate from the 15 mills limitation to a 10-mill limitation. If the money is not available only two things can happen. Either the services for which the money is used are limited, or they must be raised in some other way. We all know that the services must not stop. They provide our city hospital, our police protection and our fire fighters. They light our city streets and collect our garbage. They keep our bath houses open and furnish the neighborhood baby dispensary. All these and more are necessary for the safe-keeping of ourselves and children. They must not be stopped. Let us all, therefore, get behind the City Levy, Tuesday, Fri., with waived rates. 4-1-1 bringing in $5,319,000 in badly needed revenue for services which affect our health, our safety and our general welfare. We join with city officials and other civic leaders in urging our people of Cleveland to support and vote on the proposed City Levy, TUES. DAY. YOU KNOW ME. AL Poro agents met, Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. in regular session. Mrs. Johnson emphasized the vendor license, to agents. She also reported that by order of the president, she had purchased a bronze statue for the gift from the club to the bride, once Miss Roberts. Mrs. Lucy Tuck suggested a bake sale as a result of which the club could raise some needed funds. Her sentiments seem to carry well. Mrs. Lillian K. Hamilton thanked the club for their kindness during her last term of office as president of the Poro Club. The program was very much like the timely presentation of Mrs. C. Bunch. Its high points were: Hygiene, personal and public sanitation and general deportment a specialty.

What home-maker is there who doesn't get an urge every so often to change the appearance of her home? One of the easiest ways in which to attain the desired change is thru new lamps, and a great variety are now on display at the Electrical League's "Science of Seeing" show in the Builders' Exchange Bldg. One of the new types which offers many possibilities in a decorative way is the new three-light lamp, equipped with a single bulb which provides any one of three different amounts of light, all three controlled by a single switch. This new lamp will provide a low, soft light that is adequate for conversation. Should you desire to play cards, the lamp will provide a great amount of light. If a severe eye task is to be performed, such as sewing or reading, a still greater quantity of light can be secured by simply turning the switch. Thus in a single lamp you can secure three different quantities of light. Latest Fashions in Pictures Bubble Bottle—Complexion Towels—Novel Home-Made Centerpiece—The Latest in Plaskon Dishes.

The court were made for the lad by some of his teachers and others prominent in local social work that it was difficult for the judge to reach a decision in the case.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. YARMOUTH, England, is inseparable from the sea—and the herring harvest. Here from October to December, herring is king. Hundreds of steam drifters clutter the harbor of the world's premier herring port. Tackles rattle; trucks and carts clatter over the stones of the quay and about the curing yards with bulky loads of fish baskets and coal; auctioneers cry for bids from local and foreign buyers; and, as a background to shriekling whistles and sundry other noises, there is the constant ring of laughter and chatter of the rhythmic Gaelic tongue. Incoming trains carry into Yarmouth some 3,500 Scottish fisher girls and many hundreds of long-shorenem to handle and cure the herring catches. Here resort also the butchers and bakers and sweetmeat makers, for Scottish palates must be catered to. Churches announce special services, entertainment societies flourish, and shopkeepers display goods to appeal to the fish folk. Countless window signs urge visitors to "Send a box of famous Yarmouth bloaters to your friends," while candy makers, not to be outdone, advertise "Yarmouth rock, the candy with the fish center." In its favor, however, it should be said the fish center of the candy refers to a colored fish design in the stick rather than to the flavor. The nearest centers on Yarmouth's water front. Lowestoft, also, a few miles distant down the coast, presents a similar scene of lesser magnitude. It seems almost incredible that the fishermen should rely so definitely on the belief that the vast herring shoals are at such a specific location at a certain time. But for centuries the fish have appeared with such unfailing regularity at their annual feeding and spawning grounds that never has a fishing season been without success. They May Be Delayed a Trifle. In some seasons, it is true, their appearance has been delayed for a short time by local conditions of the water and unusual currents. Early in the 1933 season unusual conditions did exist to delay the migration. Two large areas of floating organisms (Phaeocystis and Bidulphia sinensis), often referred to by fishermen as "weedy water," or "Dutchman's bacy juice" (because of its brownish color), lay directly across their normal path. Its recognized distastefulness to the fish had halted their progress, but by going around or making a hurried dash through the obstacle, the vast shoals eventually returned unerringly to their old haunts. The gill nets are about 35 yards long by half that width and are buoyed up to within 10 feet of the surf face by inflated canvas pallets. Although usually about 100 nets are employed by each drifter, superstition dictates the use of an uneven number. Many other superstitions prevail among the herring-fishing hands. For some reason salmon are never mentioned by name. If one must talk of them, one calls them "cold iron." Whistle and you are certain to bring a gale. To start on a venture on Friday is to court ill luck. To meet an old lady with a cast in her eye just before going to sea is a sure sign that poor luck will attend the fishing. This can sometimes be overcome by making an effigy of her and burning her as a witch. Years ago persons in fishing villages were often singled out and accused of working witchcraft on the herring runs and were burned in effigy. Others, less fortunate, were ingloriously ridden out of town in wheelarrows. Deeply religious as many of the Scottish fisherman are, they never like to see a minister come anywhere near their boats. Herring bones have to be disposed of by other means than burning, as an ancient saying runs: "Catch me, kill me, but don't burn my bones." Catches Are Enormous. When hauled aboard, many of the nets have the appearance of thick silk very blankets, so closely together are the fish massed. Some of the crews, who are fortunate enough to land all or a greater portion of their nets after long hours of fatiguing labor, come into port with cargoes of from 100,000 to nearly 500,000 herrings. On the English drifters a share system prevails. Profits are divided into 16 shares, of which nine go to the owner of the boat and the other seven to the crew. The captain's portion is one and three-fourth shares, the first mate and engineer each receive one and one-fourth, the oarsmen one, and so on down to the cook, who gets three-fourths of a share. On the Scottish boats the crew often own a certain number of nets and their pay is scaled accordingly. Ashore the catch must be cured, packed, and barreled for shipment. A comparatively small but increasing portion of the catch is "klondyck"—that is, leed fresh when they are landed—and shipped for immediate consumption. Others are converted into "bloaters," "kippers," and "reds"—all three methods of curing which originated in Yarmouth. Nearly half of all of the landings, however, are pickled for direct export. The Scottish firms are chiefly, though not entirely, concerned with this latter activity, which accounts in part for the large staff of men and women who come from all over Scotland for the curing season. The yards in which they work are scattered extensively along the water front and on the Denes, at the lower end of the town. As soon as the lots of herring have fallen under the auctioneer's hammer, carters truck the swills of fish to the yards and dump them into troughs, where they are "gipped," or gutted, and graded. Working in teams of three, two for gipping and one for packing, the Scottish lassies dispose of the fish with incredible rapidity. Each team handles about four barrels an hour—slightly more than a herring every second—and a working day is from ten to twelve hours long when catches are sufficiently large to keep the packers busy. Whether they work or not, each girl is paid the equivalent of about $3.50 a week as a living wage; to that is added a commission on each barrel of fish she packs. These commissions are divided equally among the three members of each team. Kippers and Bloaters. Tiskippering rooms present similar scenes of activity, except that in preparing the fish each one is "speeled" or silt through the back, and spread out for a brief salting and smoking. From the brine tubs the speeces are put on racks and hung in the smoking rooms on narrow racking partitions, called "louvres." Kippers receive only a brief salting and smoking; "reds" require a longer treatment. The famous Yarmouth bloster is a lightly salted, brieled smoked, whole herring, prepared for immediate consumption. When they are not busy with knives in the curing yards, the girls are industriously occupied with the knitting needles. As they walk up and down along the water front, sit in knots on the packing barrels, or ride to and from their room houses, knitting needles are always active. Great Yarmouth's all-time peak in herring fishing came in 1013, when more than $24,000 erans, or somewhere about one billion fish, were unloaded on her pipers! In 1932 the landings of herring in all of Great Britain's ports came to an aggregate of 1,459,988 crans, valued at about $10,000,000. Add to these already stupendous figures the countless billions caught by Dutch, French, German, and other fleets, not only full-grown herrings, but as whitebait and sardines, and one asks, "How soon will the herring shoals be depleted?" Supply Seems Inexhaustible. For more than a thousand years, however, fishing has gone on over these same grounds without apparent diminution. Although it is estimated that from 8,000 to 10,000 miles of British nets are fishing in the North sea at one time, yet but a fraction of the fish ever been ensured. The spawn of a normal full-grown herring averages from 30,000 to 47,000; so, even though it is probably more extensively preyed upon than any other fish, its progeny will continue to stock the seas abundantly. During the years of the World war, when practically all the fishing boats were on patrol or mine-trawling duty, the herring shoals had further opportunity to increase. Lack of markets, not lack of fish, will continue to be the chief source of worry of the herring-fishing industry. So, year after year, despite unstable markets and fluctuating prices, many of the hardy Scottish and English fishermen will go to sea. Now they ship aboard the Ocean Angler, Busy Bee, United Friends, Braes o'Enzle, Ocean Sprite, Children's Trust, Green Pastures, Violet and Rose, and other steam drifters rapidly become obsolete.

Style-Alert Will Wear Smart Linen WHETHER you are a faithful stay-at-home by inclination or neces- WHETHER you are a faithful stay-at-home by inclination or necessity, or whether you are counted among those present in the spectacular style parade which fashionable resorters are now staging in climes where summer spends the winter, the message of linen is all-important. There is so much real news in regard to linen as now is, one scarcely knows where to begin to tell of the amazing things taking place in the way of new colorings, new weaves and artful patternings. From the daintiest sheerest embroidered handkerchief linen to the very rough textures in daring peasant colorings and design, linen is writing a most fascinating chapter in the history of fabric fashion. What's more, you do not have to trek to a tropical clime or wait until spring and summer in order to don linen—wear it instaner! And here's how—speaking to women who are wintering where winter is winter. Top that favorite velvet or wool suit, which is proving so smartly wearable for midseason, with a blouse of one of the new tweedy coarse linens which are the rage in leading style centers. The trick is to choose one of the strikingly new colors, tangerine, for example, or better still, linen in a rich fuchsia shade. You will adore these wonderful new tailored blouses. So timely, too, not too light in wintry zones, and not too dark for tropical climes. Maybe it is a one-piece dress of crepe or wool or velvet which is your mainstay for midseason wear. Give it "class" by collaring and culling it with linen in natural, pastel or bright color. The Puritan sets with wide collarls and deep cuffs are youthful and flattering. Quilted or stitched they are smartest of all. Just to give some idea of the stunning trends of the new linens we cite STARCHED LACE By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE FASHION WEEKLY An outstanding message which the advance dresses convey is that starched lace accessories are the "big idea" for spring. A word to the wise is sufficient. The shopping itinerary of the woman who would be smartly attired should include an immediate pilgrimage to the neckwear counters where the latest fantasies in the now-s fashionable crisp laces are set forth in all their freshness. For midseason wear nothing more charming and seasonal can be pictured than the charming black velvet suit here illustrated. The deep ruffle lace cuffs and collar with frilled jabot of stiffened white lace interprets the latest. The jabot bow sketched and the collar of lace with the Medici flare are new this season. Skirt Fullness Skirts wide at the hem are still very much in fashion, but the fullness usually does not start till the skirt is well on its way. Sung fitted hip lines are best at the moment. Bustle effects are out. the striking outfit, so handsomely tailored, as shown to the left in the illustration. Linen in the new beetroot red is chosen for the blouse. It has widely spaced tiny tucks running horizontally across its front, is fashioned to sit snugly and fastens high up the front with square buttons. The plaid for the slim skirt and the three-quarter jacket carries beetroot red for its predominating color. The relationship of suit and blouse is further established in that the identical beetroot linen which fashions the blouse lines the cont. This ensemble offers a perfect costume for sightseeing in a warm climate or for spectator sports or it is ready to jump into at the very first signs of budding spring in the North. Nothing could be swankier or more appropriate for a sunny morning on deck than the mannish suit of white linen pictured to the right. The coat is as tailored as *mans* and the back is belted, giving freedom for tennis or shuffleboard. The blouse is made of old-fashioned figured percale. Better jot that down in your note book, for this quaint percale is an ultra style note. Many remarkable effects are achieved in the new linens. There are rustic peasant weavings which look as if hand-loomed. Some of these are of Tyrolean inspiration, in the colorfulness of their stripes. Many are nubbed to add to their rough texture. Among linen novelties are towel and tablecloth motifs, also openwork lines with colored threads, plaid lines, too, are good style, while plain linens either in pastels or dark vivid blues, or reds, or browns, have a vogue coming which will make them foremost in fashion. ©.

MUFFS ARE REVIVED FOR EVENING WEAR Muffs, in the dear dead days, were neat little bundles into which elegant ladies placed their hands when they went into the cold, wattry out-of-doors. Then, a few years ago some bright person conceived the idea of giving bridesmaids muffs to carry instead of shepherds' crooks or bunches of flowers or baskets filled with rose petals. Thus, muffs were separated from strictly out-of-door costumes. Now, as the latest development in this evolution, there are muffs to accompany evening gowns. Some of these frivolous affairs are made of shirred chiffon or velvet. Others are covered with small artificial flowers, such as violets, pansies, or narcissi. Debuntantes are gaily carrying them as they dance. They're plenty large enough to hold a lipstick, cigarettes, powder, hankle, and all the other ballroom necessities. High Hat and Plain Pumps With Little Sailboat When standing before your wardrobe in doubt as to what to put on, better reach for a suit. The "little suit" is the "long suit" of our smartest women on over her. With it goes a high hat and plain kldskin pumps. If the day and the occasion present that "special moment," we suggest a glamorous lame blouse as a surprise to come forth when the trim little jacket is removed. Patou has made some of the most perfect blouses for this purpose you can find anywhere. Lots of them are of the sheerest chiffon with shirring near the shoulders to give fullness to the billowy sleeves. There is usually a touch of lame in gold or silver or a satin collar and cuffs and demure little bow tie. Breaking Pikes Peak Record A Major Feat A considered virtually unbeatable when made two years ago. And a few minutes later Buss Hammond, of Colorado Springs, driving a Ford V-8 and also using Veedol, broke the stock car record by making this hazardous and difficult course in 19 minutes, 25 7/10 seconds. The former record, made last year by Al Miller, was 20 minutes 5 2/10 seconds. The race was significant in more ways than one.

Its gay yellow body, red beak, and blue face, to say nothing of its fat ducky lines, are drawing wide-spread attention to it. The case is made possible by use of plaskon, the man-made ivory-like material whose warm colors are the same all the way through. BY LESLIE L. STEVENS ALONG with the Labor Day excitement involving strikes, horse racing, yacht racing, baseball and other sports, a remarkable feat of automobile racing was accomplished that day. Two daredevils of the speedway smashed two former marks in negotiating the hardest and most perilous of all tests of automobile speed and sturdiness, the annual Pike's Peak climb. It is a test calling for the utmost stress on the car itself, its equipment and especially its lubrication. Louis Usner, of Colorado Springs, driving his Shultz Special, using Veedol motor oil and the most modern developments in tires and other accessories, plunged up the steep ascent and finished the twelve mile 2200-foot course in 16 minutes 1 8/10 seconds, thus lowering the former record for open class cars held by Glenn Shultz by more than 45 seconds. Shultz's mark was 16 minutes, 47 6/10 seconds and was SALOMON KING AND QUEEN OF BELGIUM in Winter Sports — King Leopold and Queen Astrid in mortgages, off on a skiing expedition at St. Moritz.
