Doings of the Race The natives of Doornfontein, South Africa, have been expelled under an Urban Areas Act, and their former homes rented to Indians and other Colored people. Doornfontein is near Johannesburg, controlled by the Dutch. Rewritten from the form proposed last year, the Costigan-Wagner U. S. Senate bill provides severe penalties for lynchers, officers who conspire with mobs or fail to protect prisoners from riotous assemblages, and counties where such lawlessness occurs. Attys, Fraenkel, Pollak, Leibowitz and Chamble are united in the Scotch Appeals of Clarence Norris and Haywood Patterson, pending in the United States Supreme Court which were to have been argued on the 15th of this month. The first two were retained by the ILD and the last two by the American Scottsboro Committee, both organizations' headquarters in N. Y. City. The ROUNDER Councilman John E. HUBbard, Assist. Police Prosecutor Perry B. Jackson and Policewoman Nell Hackney "put the binger" on the "man" (white, or "grey" as Clarence Darrow would say) who has been annoying some of our girls attending Bolton school. He made "improper advances and indecent exposures." After the school, his guilt, was released at the request of the mother of one of our girl-students of the school, Wouldn't that jar you? And the "rat" is a native of South Carolina, too. Our people are SO kind-hearted, oftimes too much so for their own good. Reliable reports reaching The Rounder convey the information that some of the language used in the play, "Stevedore," now being rehearsed by The Gilpin Players is rotten to the core, an insult to the intelligence of any people who bear it. If this be true, those responsible for exhibiting the play at the Karamu theater ought to be run out of the city! Representatives of the local NAACP branch, our Federation of Women's Clubs, and the League of Struggle should investigate these reports immediately. It is difficult for The Rounder to believe that either Mr. or Mrs. Russell W. Jellife would be a party to anything of the kind. Charlie Gordon was 78 years old, Monday. Associate workers in the probation department of the police court gave a tea in his honor in one of the courtrooms. Monday, at which he was generously felicitated on his long life and twelve years' connection with that department. Charlie, years ago, served as an assistant and chief jailer under both Sheriffs Theo, McConnell and Ed. Barry. The Rounder is informed that when Charlie was being considered for appointment as a prison officer by commission police court judges, Judge Virgil J. Terrell, now a member of the Court of Appeals, called the editor of The Gazette on the 'phone and asked him if he would recommend Charlie for the appointment, which the editor did of, course. When the next annual A. M. E. conference for this district convenes, strong representations are to be made to Bishop R. C. Ransom asking the removal of Rev. David Ormoneda Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. This time not only by members of the church but also by many other residents of the city who have been discharged orally discussed with St. James pastor, who seems to have a happy faculty of getting on the wrong side of about every question he approaches. His inexcusable fight on the Bryant gasoline station at the corner of E. 85th St. and Cedar Ave., a race enterprise, "fills the cup to over-flowing" in the case of scores of our loyal residents of the 18th ward, and elsewhere in the city. Councilman John E. Hunt, bringing the mistake of his life in failing to introduce and secure the adoption of his resolution permitting Mr. and Mrs. Bryant to remove that fence in the western entrance to and exit from their gasoline station. The solidly Republican colored wards "delivered" for the tax levies (Tuesday) even more strongly than they have in some elections where the fate of candidates was at stake. The good old "Colored Wards" are depended upon at every election to "save the day" for the Republican party of this city, our voters constituting nearly one-third of it, about FREDERICK DOUGLASS Unquestionably the Greatest American "Negro" or Afro-American—Orator, Journalist, Statesman, Leader. The Hon. Frederick Douglass was born in February, 1817. He did not know the day of his birth but selected Feb. 12, the birthday of the greatest American, Abraham Lincoln, and that is why the many Douglass-Lincoln, Lincoln-Douglass celebration among the people of the country, last week Tuesday. Douglass' wonderful career as an anti-slavery advocate, at home and abroad; as a statesman, honored by appointment M. C. HARRIS to high office by several Presidents of the United States; and as the outstanding leader of our people until his death, is set forth at length in the Hon. George W. Williams' splendid "History of The Negro Race in America," a book that ought to be in every one of our homes. Mr. William Williams, a former member of the Ohio Legislature, The Hon. Frederick Douglass towered, and the gone from us, many years, still towers over ALL of our so-called leaders, past and present, like the Washington monument towers over the public buildings of the nation's capital. Booker T. Washington, and all the rest, simply were and are not in his class. The only one who has approached the great Douglass, past and present, was a scholar and statesman, the Hon. John M. Langston, at one time a Congressman from Virginia. Our people have not produced a single man of Douglass-Langston status in the last fifty years! They were readers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, the writer is proud to say. One, the man on the eve of his last trip abroad, a five years prior to his death, among other things wrote the editor as follows: "In the midst of hurried preparations for a long tour in Europe I snatch my pen and spend a few moments to tell you how completely I sympathize with your political attitude. . . . I do exhort your readers to stand by you in your efforts to uphold citizens of Ohio to wise political action." The following, a tribute to the great Douglass, was written nearly twenty-five years ago: "His life was one of the most wonderful stories ever written, and seldom has pen or tongue told the incidents or drawn the lessons of humanity with more pathos or greater depth. His voice than his. His life, for his race, his country and his God, was as great as any recorded in the pages of history." MOB LAW SUIT OPENS Widow of Slain Miner Asks $5,000 From Belmont County and Will Get It. St. Clairsville, O.—Trial of a suit in which Mrs. Margaret Gamble, widow of a miner (white) who was slain in a 1932 strike, seeks $5,000 damages from Belmont County, under Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland's Ohio Mob Violence Act, or law, opened here, last week Friday. Gamble, who had refused to strike, was slain by snipers at Pipe Creek, near here while on his way to work in a convoy of workers being protected by National Guardmen and deputy sheriffs. The snipers escaped. A score of guardmen and other officers have been summoned to testify at the trial. every other race, represented in it (the party), has representation in the mayor's cabinet but ours, and not one of them furnish the party the number of votes we do. Clayborne George is most responsible for this! He told Mayor Harry L. Davis, and the community, thru the local daily papers, that our people were not looking for nor asking such representation. Of course, this was not true, but it got him the job he holds—membership in the City Civil Service Commission. The next Republican mayor of this city will give us that representation, regardless of the Georges and their kidney. Mark our prediction!

AND FORCING ITS WILL UPON THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH, WITHOUT RESPECT TO RACE, AS THE FOLLOWING INDICATES. Stealing Northern IndustriesBringing About Racial SegregationThe South Is Paying 10% or Less of the Taxes and Taking 90% of the Benefits. Here is additional evidence that the "South is in the saddle" and having its way in the North as well as the South, not only in the case of our people but also the other class, too. We take it that our readers noticed the publication in our last issue from Columbus issued by the secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce of Ohio and said "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," and added: "The State Chamber has sent a letter to each Chamber of Commerce in Ohio warning of 'new threats to northern industries'." Also that "the Tennessee Valley Authority and the federal government (southern crackers) are planning to raise rates and rate schedules to favor the South and to offer federal credit to industries which will locate in the South." The following complaint of two of our boys, against Capt. Chas. A. Miller, a Texas "cracker," is another case in point, furnished us in the shape of an affidavit by the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie of this city, former member of the Ohio Legislature and at present chairman of the legal defense committee of the NAACP local branch: GEORGE LOVEJOY, 2940 E. 72d St., Cleveland, O. age 22, and, ROBERT ROSE, 2380 E. 43d St., Cleveland, O. age 24, being first duly sworn, depose and say that they entered the service in Civilian Conservations Corps at Camp Jefferson, Broadacre, O. Company, No. 580. State Project, No. 9. The second number of the corps was 5-75581, and the serial number of George Lovejoy being #CC 5-75585. Affiliates say that conditions at said camp were unbearable and, because of these conditions, on Jan. 28, '35, one hundred and six colored boys, including these affiliates, left said camp. Affiliates say that frequently there was not even water to drink, and that they were for weeks in a time; that their captain, Charles A. Miller, is alleged to be from the state of Texas, and treated the boys like slaves. The boys BABIES FED TO THE ALLIGATORS Wilberforce, O.—Two hundred students of both races and professors from Ohio colleges were startled, last week, by two students from the Philippines and Trinidad declaring that "American women are no angels" and "American justice is crooked," in a discussion participated in by 14 other students attending the fifth annual meeting of the Ohio International Institute held here yearly on Lincoln's birthday. The Trinidad student among other things said: "When 'Negro' women are in prison in Louisiana, there is an illegal relationship with the guards. They give birth to children which the guards take back of the prison and throw into the bayou to the alligators and crocodiles." Bishop Paul Jones of Antioch college, Yellow Island, presides over the meeting President R. W. Wright delivered the welcome meetups. Among the speakers are Miss Mary Halley of Western college, Oxford; Dr. Earl Eubanks of the University of Cincinnati; Frederick C. MacFarlane, the first principal of a "kid" school in Dayton known as the "Dunbar High School." and John S. Marsh, well known world-traveler. — Rev.

The captain, not a doctor, first determined whether or not the boys were sick. One of the boys, during the month of January, 1935, was sick in bed and was required to dress and go to the captain's office before he was sent to the camp. Affiliants further state that the captain refused to hire colored boys in the office, because he said none were qualified to do the work notwithstanding the fact that there were, at the time, over two hundred boys in said camp, some of them from colleges and the high schools in this state. That upon the least provocation, the captain would fine the boys the maximum of three dollars when most of the boys would only have coming to them five dollars per week the last being been sent to their families. These affiliates do reinstatement so that they may be transferred to some other camp, by the black mark given them by the said Captain Miller will militate against their future employment in any department of the United States Government."

My dear Senator Donahay:—Herewith enclosed affidavit signed by Messrs. Lovoy and Rose, which is self-explanatory. The NAACP local branch is behind this matter and desires a thoro investigation of the conditions at this camp, and insists that these boys be reinstated forthwith so that they may be transferred to another camp. The association, also, believes that Captain Miller should be sent back to Georgia where he belongs.

"BIG BOY" DEAD. A Friend of the Hungry and Down A Witness of Witness carib 400 Pounds - Big - Bye Berry*Barner, who was forty years old and conducted a restaurant in E. 46th St., several years ago, moving from there to 4812 Scovill Ave., died, last week Thursday. Funeral, Tuesday, from Shiloh Baptist church, a friend officiating. The remains were viewed at the undertaker's rooms, from Friday to Tuesday. "Big Boy" was jovial and generous and naturally had scores of friends and admirers. He employed 14 men. He began getting fat in 1924. He was always laughing, which doubtless accounts in some measure for his great humor. He started to arrest and put him in a cell, for some little mixup. He was so fat they couldn't get him in the cell. He just looked at them and laughed. So they had to let him go. It took twelve men to take the body from the bed. A casket 25 inches high, seven feet long and 40 inches wide had to be built. To take him from the funeral home, where he had been lying in state, to Shiloh Baptist church where services were held, Tuesday afternoon, a carpenter sawed out part of the wall. The church had to move seats. There was a large attendance. Fourteen strong pall bearers were required to carry the 300-pound casket and its 594-pound burden. Barner was buried in two graves at Highland Park cemetery. Shot in Temple But Will Live. Chattanooga, Tenn.—While hospital surgeons prepared to remove a bullet from his head—he had been shot in the temple by an enraged wife. Tuesday night—the victim sat up on the operating table and spat out the missile. Doctors said he would recover.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1935. BUNK-TIME COMING Soon the local political campaign will be in full swing, and as usual, Afro-American forums will be guests to politicians that would not be permitted to enter thru the back door of institutions which have trained their supporters to be more discriminating. We know that time must be given to some of these conventional ballyhoo artists who speak for political machines, even thou they say nothing and do less of importance to the race. But one afternoon, or one evening, instead of six or eight, ought to be enough for the whole gang of spellbinders who never raise their voices against lynching or racial segregation. NO "LYNCH" LEGISLATION. Henry L. Mencken, well-known writer addressing the U. S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee, last week, on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, which is a weak "sister" at best, said he could offer no opinion on the wisdom or constitutionality of the bill but urged its enactment as an "experiment." He also said: "The states are charged with punishing all such invasions of the common right of citizens, but some of them have failed to do so and others have not honestly tried." Which, of course, builds no constitutional foundation for the U. S. Congress to invade the state's right, and attempt to enact a federal mob violence act or anti-lynching law. This right is inherent only in the several states, and the U. S. Congress has no constitutional ground upon which to stand in an effort to invade this right. That is why successful legislation against the mob and lynching has up-to-date been enacted only by the states, and will be in the future. Mark our prediction. OUR PREDICTION CAME TRUE. When Mrs. Mary B. Martin was a candidate for re-election to the School Board, last time, her opponent of color was the Rev. David Ormonez Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. A number of our people, particularly women, were apparently very much opposed to her candidacy. While on the stump during that campaign, the editor of The Gazette repeatedly warned them that if our people were to continue to have representation in that important branch of the city organization, Mrs. Martin would have to be the person, because Walker hadn't a chance! This proved to be the case. This the editor stressed nightly during the campaign, also saying that he felt sure Mrs. Martin, with her experience as a member of the School Board, would make our people particularly a better representative than she had during her first term. This was the basis of the complaint being made by those who were opposed to her candidacy. During her second term as a member of the Mrs. Martin has said and done a number of good things for her people. But recently she has put the cap-sheaf on all of the good work that she has done during her first, and second terms thus far, by materially assisting in the appointment of Mrs. Genevieve Davis Storey, one of our local public school teachers, to the assistant principalship of Tremont school, in the junior high department. Mrs. Storey, it seems, has made an excellent record, both as an elementary teacher and as a teacher of English in the junior high school. This secured her the high recommendations of her principal, Miss Stelda Cook, and of her supervisor, Prof. Stratton. Mrs. Martin's untiring and persistent efforts, added to the foregoing, won Mrs. Storey the deserved promotion and fully justifies the editor's confidence in her and strong support of her candidacy, mentioned in the foregoing, and we are very pleased, indeed, to be able to note the fact at this time. HORRIBLE "MUSIC." If it were possible to dump the whole assortment of "spirituals" into one huge garbage can and forget them, Afro-Americans would gain by that act. "Never more than at the February 10 anti-lynching demonstration at Public Music Hall have we been impressed so greatly by their dangerous influence," many friends in attendance upon the meeting have told us. They also say that "after the audience had been deeply stirred by Secretary Walter White's talk, the fire of indignation aroused in his listeners was completely extinguished by the trashy nonsense" termed "spirituals," sung by the chorus on the stage. The effect aroused angered every sincere enemy of lynching, because it was evident that those members of the audience, drawn by curiosity, were leaving with the impression that our people are "infantile." We are perfectly well aware of the fact that spirituals had some value in the days of slavery. They acted as dope for the slaves. In this generation, however, some of them are undiluted poison. They poison both singers and listeners. They are mental chloroform, stupetty and deadening every member of the race subjected to their influence. In the future on similar occasions, at least, let them be relegated to the possession of music-historians. They should have no place in any progressive church; and they must never be heard at a meeting called to voice protests against violations of our rights. RUNNING TRUE TO FORM. As the depression continues to hold the land in its grip, our Democratic politicians become hungrier and dumber. The Gazette had imagined that with the virtual dismissal of Warden Preston Thomas from the Columbus penitentiary, Gov. Davey would inaugurate a regime, marked by capable appointments and a fairly high degree of intelligence. We were too optimistic. The dismissal of Miss Grace Meyette as deputy inspector of the Ohio minimum wage division, a staunch friend of the race and a woman of superior ability, proves the contrary. We are going to be treated to a good old-fashioned dose of the spoils-system. Mr. Davey is out to feed hungry Democratic politicians. Beyond that he will do nothing. We would warn him that the public is becoming too bitterly aroused over the numerous impositions it must suffer in the way of increased and unequal tax-burdens. Afro-American citizens, in addition, are concerned over the menacing aspects of the New Deal, which embrace an attempt to spread racial segregation to every section of the United States, not excluding Ohio. Consequently when a real friend of our workers, who has no use for racial barriers, is ousted at a time when oppression is steadily growing more serious, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the political executive responsible for her dismissal is out to appoint as fine an assortment of hungry Democrats as can be found within the ranks of his political organization. If there is an ounce of political sagacity in Gov. Davey's make-up, he will rescind the Meyette dismissal. Prime Sport News compete. Again.

The former Cleveland high school ace leaped 25 feet 2 inches for a new armory mark in the broad jump, and won the 60-yard dash in 6.3 seconds, a tenth of a second fastest in the nation. Russell of Illinois last year. Owens took both hurdles events, winning the 70-yard highs in 9 seconds and 75-yard lows in :08.3. Owens Versus Metcalfe Jess Owens will get a real acid test in the A.

Eulace Peacock of Temple university and Ben Johnson of Columbia, also "Afros," each of whom Metcalfe recently permitted to win a heat, will try to repeat. "Try" is good. Owens, Peacock and Eddie Gordon, the Olympic champion, will also have a try at the broad jump record. Information wanted of Dora Johnson, born in Montgomery, Ala., about 1892.

WAR PREPARATION Denied by Italy—The Two Countries Agree to Establish a Neutral Zone —Outlook for Continued Peace Good. Rome, Italy$^4$—Peaceful settlement of the African border incident between Italy and Abyssinia (Ethiopia) seems certain with both sides expressing determination to avert war. The Italian government has officially denied: 1. That Italy is preparing to spend $849,000,000 on a campaign against Abyssinia. 2. That 15,000 troops will be enroute to Africa by Feb. 23. 3—That 5,000 physicians are being recruited to accompany the expeditionary force to Africa. The spokesman said Italy's mobilization so far consists solely of two infantry divisions and several contingents form the single class of 1911, and that in all some 30,000 troops were involved; that the only units replacing them are units replacing and reinforcing the existing garrisons against surprise attack, the spokesman added. To Establish a Neutral Zone. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—Prospects for a peaceful settlement of the Italy-Ethiopian dispute were enhanced with the announcement by the government that at Italy's request an agreement had been reached for estates between Ualual and Guerlogubt, and that it was decided to send a joint delegation to the border area to delineate the neutral district. The section is adjacent to Italian Somaliland, where hostilities took place in recent weeks. Italy also requested an indemnity of more than $100 million to the Italian flag in Addis Ababa which will hardly be agreed to.

Emily Post, authority on etiquette, says, we would be better hosts if we had enough light to see our guests. There are a number of reasons for poor lighting conditions. One, of course, is that it is simply a matter of habit. We have grown accustomed to our eyesight when we also use our eyes in that sometimes the right lamp is not in the right place. And, too, it is often a case of not enough lamps for every person in the room. One of the most useful of the new lamps is the three-light lamp. This lamp is so constructed that with a single lamp bulb, built specially for it, it will provide three entirely different amounts of light. It is on display at the "Scars of Seeing" show in the Builders Exchange building. One switch controls the light bulb so that by simply turning it, you can obtain just the right amount of light for the eye-task to be performed. Irene Purcell Has Favorite Recipe for Beer Soup MISS Irene Purcell, star of "Accent of Youth" popular Broadway stage success, has a favorite recipe for what she calls "German Beer Soup." Her recipe is easy to prepare and according to Miss Purcell, "It's Delicious." The recipe for German Beer Soup is as follows: 3 tablespoons butter 1 medium sized onion—sliced thin 1½ cup beef stock 1 cup tomato juice 1 cup bottled beer 1 teaspoon salt 1 pepper—few grains 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese book butter and onion together in covered bowl pour tomato juice, beer and seasonings; bring to boiling point and keep as hot as possible Dry boil to sprinkled lightly with Parmesan or grated cheese may be served on top of steaming soup. The toast should be cut in slender slices, lightly browned and very crisp. Highly recommended for either luncheon or supper. Serves 8 John Solomon, age 50, father-in-law of Jess Owens, Cleveland track star of Ohio University, was dead, Wednesday, from wounds self-inflicted, Sunday, in his home, 9118 Beckman Ave. Mrs. Ellen Solomon told police her husband had been dependent over prolonged ill health. I hate always to be writing you about my troubles, Al, but if I had marred some small town girl like you did or better yet if I'd thought of the idea of not getting married at all we would of all gone to school. And why? Here I am out here with Jack Dempsey, who these wiesheimer fight experts say this then here Bobby Jones is through a golfer. I stand out there every day and let him sock me because I'm a big game guy and don't want to fight for the mats. I don't want to complain about me hanging around with low prizes and more rough. I wonder if she thinks I could earn any dough reading this here social register. So I've made up my mind to take on Kid Dugan in one of the preliminaries to the big fight even though he was not a big fan of the game. Dempsey done to me, I ain't afraid of him, and I am sorry. Horry, Al, I can't get you a ducat for the fight, but there ain't no Annie Oakley and don't be a sap爬 to pay the prices they're asking. - few grains - pepper—few grains THE PIANIST Her reign on the operatic stage over, Geraldine Farrar has moved across the footlights at the Metropolitan Opera House to start a new career from a microphone equipped box in the Grand Tier. STARTING a new career in mid-life—that's the inspiring example for American womanhood set by Geraldine Farrar. Thirty-three years ago, as a girl of nineteen, Geraldine Farrar sang her first opera performance at the Royal Opera House in Berlin. Shortly after that she made the startling announcement that she would retire from the operatic stage when she was forty and from concert when she was fifty. Twelve years ago last spring she stood on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York in the heyday of her beauty and glory and sang her farewell—while the audience stood and cheered through its tears. Ten years later, true to her 30-year-old promise, she gave up concert appearances. But now, as radio raconteuse of the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts over NBC networks each Saturday afternoon, Miss Farrar finds a whole new field of endeavor open to her. She discusses the operas and the singers, and entertains listeners between the acts with intimate, backstage stories of her own and the present day at the Metropolitan. Seated in her own microphone equipped glass enclosed Box 42 in the Grand Tier, she recreates the color and glamour of the scene for the invisible audience. From time to time, she sings bits of the arts from the opera being broadcast to explain a point. It's a glorious job, Miss Farrar believes, and she's doing her part to bring the world's greatest operas to an audience unlimited by seating capacity or geographical location.

No old saws, declares Phil Baker, the Armour Jester, as he prepares to return to the air by cutting himself a slice of rare beef. FRESH from a six weeks jaunt through Italy, and with a "positively fresh" assortment of laughs and accordion tunes, Phil Baker returns to mock and rock the air waves at 9:30 o'clock E.S.T. on Friday night, over the coast-to-coast NBC-WJZ network. His first six broadcasts will be from Radio City in New York, where the huge studio will give Phil's chief heckler Beetle plenty of elbow room for his nefarious work. After that half-dozen sparkling programs, the Armour hour will be heard from Chicago, where it regularly originates. "Italy was great, but Baker will be greater," was Phil's only comment upon his return to America. "The chief hitchback is that my first air show will be inaugurated by a blast from that prize blaster Beetle." The Armour Jester will also have with him the tungler, Bottle the butler, and Mabie Albertson, comedienne of the troupe. Martha Mears, clear-voiced contralto from the University of Missouri, will be the featured vocalist when the pro grams are broadcast from New York with Leon Belasco's orches music providing the music.

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 Court has seized all rights held 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. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping from 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 received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, or if it is permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's entire estate, or the minor's minor children surviving such deceased such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws 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 rigit 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. (92 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and against it in favor of the legal person, or in favor of a killer 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 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 6229. 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 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 fines not less than fifty dollars or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under $^{f}$, in the courts. A. E.

Relief clients may accept part-time jobs without endangering their status at relief headquarters. The Cuyahoga county relief administration has made this announcement to counter-act rumors that a part-time job would cut off government help. If the head of a family receiving $30 a month relief gets a job paying $12 a month, he will continue to receive $18 from CCRA, it is explained. Every precaution is taken against discouraging the return to employment.

True, it is recorded that when the Persians invaded Greece, in 480 B.C., they established a line of sentinels who, by shouting from post to post, relayed messages between Athens and Susa in forty-eight hours. The ancient Gauls used a similar communication system for military purposes. Alexander the Great is said to have employed a gigantic speaking trumpet which could project the voice a distance of twelve miles. Other devices similar to the modern megaphone, and still others following the principle of the speaking tube, have been used from time to time. But all of these have been relatively ineffective in extending the normal range of the voice. Not until the invention of the telephone, in 1876, was the spoken word set free from the limitations of distance. Today, the voice outruns the flight of time and surmounts the barriers of distance, making all men akin.

C.-WNU Service. AN AMERICAN poet wrote: "Dark flying rune against the western glow It tells the sweet and loneli- ness of things" The writer of these lines and other poets have drawn inspiration from the striking formations that especially characterize the movements of swans, geese and ducks. That flying wing or undulating line etched against the sunset sky or the orderly, swift-moving formation high overhead! Here is the symbol that inspires the imagination of even the casual observer, as it has the poets who have written of flying wild fowl through the ares. Behind this aura of glamour and mystery lies the fascinating life story of the majestic wild swans, the wily geese, the hardy and adaptable ducks, and the fish-loving mergansers. They are a fairly compact and homogeneous group of birds, their only relatives of undoubted connection being the screeners of South America, large, goose-like, wading birds with unwebbed toes. Geese and ducks are found all over the world wherever water exists, except on the oceans far from land. Common to the order are a long neck, sometimes very long; short legs, webbed toes, and a bill covered with sensitive skin and provided inside with comblike structures known as laamella, modified in the mergansers to sharp "teeth" for holding slippery fish. The eggs are without markings, and the young, hatched covered with down, are able to find their own food very soon after they emerge from the egg. The graceful, snow-white swans, sometimes five feet in length, make up the first of seven subfamilies into which are divided the North American members of the suborder. The other six are the geese, tree ducks, surface-feeding ducks, diving ducks, stiff-tailed ducks, and meransers. Swans Highly Esteemed. Much that has been written about swans has been influenced by their aesthetic appeal. This is apt to distort the facts to their advantage, and it is just as well, because no other birds can provide the thrill that a flock of wild swans gives the nature lover. First in order and in size, they have a form too universally known to require description. The two North American species are so similar that they can be differentiated with certainty only by the character of their internal structure and by their very distinct voices. The swans are perfect models of conjugal conduct. They mate for life and the sexes share the domestic responsibilities. The doway young when first hatched are not the "ugly ducklings" of popular belief, but lovely little creatures, clothed in silky, golden dawn and without the exaggerated neck and huge paddelike feet of their parents. Very soon, however, these characteristics begin to appear and untaintainless replace their natal loveliness until the grace and beauty of maturity appear. Fortunately, there is small if any possibility of the extermination of the whistling swan, and with careful conservation it may even be possible to perpetuate the trumpeter. The goose family is well represented in North America, especially in the West, where in some localities six species may be seen on the same ground. Their extraordinary migrations and the mystery of their breeding grounds intensify the interest that both sportsmen and naturalists take in these fine birds. Even yet, there are a few whose summer homes are unknown, while the systematic status of some races and their relation to each other have still to be worked out. Much study in the field, especially at their nesting grounds, is required to establish these facts. Geese, like swans, pair for life, and the young birds remain in the company of their parents for nearly a year after they are hatched. Geese Are Smart Birds. Endowed with keen intelligence and extreme wariness, they can be depended on to maintain a fair degree of abundance as long as adequate wintering grounds are afforded them. But, above all, they, like swans, require freedom from molestation when they are at rest, so that a large measure of solitude and wide spaces are the chief requirements for their perpetuation. Both families have a lower rate of reproduction than ducks, as they require several years to attain maturity and the number of eggs laid is much smaller than with most species of ducks. Whether by day or night, geese do a lot of calling while in flight; when migrating high overhead the clamor of their voices falling from the sky draws attention to the flock in arrowhead formation, cleaving the upper air. Species can be identified by their different voices. When feeding they are silent, only gabbing a little to each other in low tones. The first appearance of danger will bring a warning challenge from the sentinel and every head is erected while the danger is scrutinized. Both geese and swans are noted for their longevity, the latter being among the Methuselahs of the bird world. There is actual record of a mute swan that lived seventy years, while rather uncertain report has attributed even a greater age to the birds. Somewhat intermediate between ducks and geese are the tree ducks. They have only two representatives north of the Mexico-United States boundary, and neither of these penetrates much to the north of this line. Their name is misleading in our own territory, as here we seldom see them perching in trees and their nests are on the ground. The great group of ducks is divided into two main sections, the surface-feeding and diving ducks. While these names actually afford a general basis of distinction, it does not follow that surface-feeders never dive for their food, nor that diving ducks never feed on the surface. To separate the groups, look at the foot. In the diving ducks, the hind toe has a lobe, so that it resembles a little paddle. In the surface feeding group it is not particularly specialized. How to Identify Ducks. If sportsmen wish to identify the ducks they shoot in all plumages, it is essential that they recognize the distinction between the two groups. By the "hind-toe" formula, stiff-tailed ducks fall under the category of diving ducks, but in many features of structure, plumage, and life characters they are further removed from true ducks than are the mergansers. The sometimes pugnacious and somewhat ludicrous-appearing ruddy duck is the sole representative of the stiff-tailed ducks in the United States and Canada, although a South American species, the masked duck, has been twice recorded in the eastern states as a struggler. Mergansers, the last of the duck group, are ducks with a narrow, specialized bill, edged with saw teeth, which enable them to catch and devour good-sized fish. Their feet, though proportionately smaller, resemble those of the diving ducks in having a paddle-shaped hind toe. Ducks, for the most part, are very different from swans and geese in their family habits. While they pair much like other birds and are not as a rule polygamous or polyandrous, the male in most species is not a constant husband, and abandons the female and all family cares as soon as incubation of the eggs is well under way. Stiff-tailed ducks are notable exceptions to this rule, and in some true ducks, like the elders, the male is not altogether indifferent to his family obligations. Labrador Duck Is Extinct. Mention should be made of the extinct Labrador duck, Camporhynchus labradorins, the last verified record of which was a bird taken in 1875. The passing of this species is a mystery which cannot be accounted for; even from the earliest days for which we have any record of the bird, it was a scarce species in the limited area of its range on the North Atlantic coast. Frequenting the shoal water of the shallow bays, it could not have been in much demand for food and few were brought in to the markets. There is no record of its nesting, nor even, with any certainty, of its summer home. Although it was a diving duck, the peculiar shape of its bill suggests that it itfished its food in shallow water. Of all the questions relating to wild fowl, the problem of their perpetuation is the most important. Every one naturally takes an interest in their conservation and wishes to see an increase in their numbers. But unfortunately there are two divergent schools at work, one that wishes to protect wild fowl from the viewpoint that they provide sport, and the opposite group that insists they be protected vigorously and all shooting be abolished. For the good of the wild fowl of North America, it is essential that these different views be reconciled, and a concerted course of action that has the support of all parties is unquestionably the goal for which we must strive.

Peasant Influence in Modern Dress By CHERIE NICHOLAS BIG sleeves, bloused bodices, drawstring necklines, cord and tassel fastenings, colorful sashes griddling the waistline, rustic linens and cotton bizarre with color and design, ornate embroideries and hosts of other details equally as fascinating and picturesque, all proclaim the romantic, quaint, peasant fashions of mid-Europe as the source from which modern designers are gathering inspiration. The prologue to this peasant-inspired style program was written months ago when millinery, as we all remember, went so spectacularly and so picturesquely Tyrolean. The movement grew and grew until this season. Throughout all costume design one sees modern interpretation given to peasant themes gleaned from many lands. To peasant sources may be traced the primitive reds and greens and yellows in beach and sports wear as a change from the subtle pastels, the nautical blues and the softly modulated "faded" tones and tints we loved so well. Peasant-shawl prints enliven the new evening gowns. Self-fringes finish the edges of rustic fabrics. Raffa accessories is the new note sounded in connection with sports costumes. Starched laces flare about throat and on sleeves. Belts gaily embroidered in peasant colors make costumes look pictorially ggysplylike—and so on and so on the story of peasant lore unfolds in modernized version. Perhaps the most significant reaction to peasant influence is the silhouette which introduces softly bloused bodices and big generous sleeves. The dress on the seated figure in the illustration speaks more eloquently than words of this new movement. Gray jersey fashions this gown, which is a Paris model, Gray, by the way, is accounted as ultravagish for both day and evening wear by stylists both here and abroad. The huge pleated sleeves are set very high. These, with the gathered-neckline and fullness given to the blouse which is THE FASHION WEEKLY The call of the evening mode is for masses of frothy tulle used in a trimming way on gowns. "The very handsome yellow and black silk crepe gown pictured has a froth of black tulle at each shoulder. The cunning cape which milady holds in hand in readiness to don at sweet will is also of frothy layers of black tulle.

The dress on the standing figure to the right also features the very new and smart bloused bodice, but in a more conservative way. It is fashioned of a handsome fashia colored crepe. There is a bit of smocking slightly suggesting a yoke which gives the required blouse fulness. The big sleeves are gathered in at the wrist in traditional peasant fashion. The frill at the neck also reflects peasant styling. Bloused bodice backs are made a special point of interest in many of the new dresses. The model pictured above to the left in tae group illustrates "lines" that are considered the last word in chic. Speaking of influences reflected in the newer fashions there is another movement under way which is quite as outstanding and important as that of peasant trends. We are referring to the "Regency" period fashions which flourished in the early Nineteenth century (from 1812 to 1820). The Regency influences in dress versus peasant trends inject a versatility to this season's styling which insures against the possibility of a dull or monotonous moment in realms of fashion the whole spring and summer through. The former bespeaks a formality and sophistication which is quite foreign to the naive rustic beauty of the latter. The characteristic features in either are easily recognizable. Reminiscent of the Regency period modes are the high waistlines which certain French courtiers are introducing, the long skirts often with decorative hemlines and that which you will see displayed in millinery showings this spring—bonnets, real peek bonnets which of course will interest the ingeneue and debutante elegance, far more than women of more mature years. ACCESSORIES EKE OUT SMALL BUDGET The woman who has to get through an entire season with one evening dress—now there's a problem for you. But it can be an amusing problem if the woman is sufficiently clever and ingenious. The styles are on her side this winter. All this girl with the collapsed budget need do is watch her colors and accessories. Let her get a white or cream-colored gown built along simple, classic lines in crepe, chiffon, satin or velvet. Then let her change the gown's appearance from time to time with a double capetel of burnt orange tulle, with a mauve sequin jacket, with a high-necked deep blue velvet jacket that buttons down the back, even with a lovebird green chiffon scarf whose ends float airily behind. Purple Flowers Are Back in Spotlight of Fashion "Buttercup and daisies here to please the ladies"—are supplanted by violets, pansies and lilacs. The current acceptance of colors in the purple range, sponsored by Schlaparelli. Mainbocher, Lelong, Patou and others, have brought these lovely blossoms back into fashion. Late last summer Paris began using these together with blues, which frequently have a purplish cast. The violets are varied in type, single, double, large, small; lilacs come in sprays or clusters, following genuine or artificial effects. Schlaparelli uses a spray of pansies over the shoulder. Mainbocher uses lilacs to trim lavender chiffon. Patou poses a bunch of violets at center front. Black Velvet Favored Black velvet hits the high spots for afternoon and evening. Velvet suits with peplums and rhinestone buttons or bowknots are chic.

FEB. 61—(via Mackay Radio)—The second Byrd Antarctic Expedition left Little America to day, bringing most of its automotive equipment with it—the big Condon plane, William Horlick, which has done such magnificent work in long flights under the skilled guidance of Harold June; the useful General and Pilgrim planes; the Fokker, wrecked five years ago 400 miles out, brought in and repaired by Commander Schlossbach; the Fokker and autogyro wrecked on this expedition; the big three-motored Ford plane just dug up after five years under the snow here one of the two little Citroen tractors and the big Cleveland tractor recovered from under the snow 67 miles out, which have revolutionized polar transportation; and left the two Ford snowmobiles, priceless in loading and unloading our ships. The automotive equipment of this expedition has been given the most gruelling service ever asked of any similar machines. The gasoline engines which were brought to the Antarctic were stock units whose designers and engineers certainly never considered the extreme operating conditions that have put them to the test in every conceivable way. We have thirty-six gasoline engines comprising six different types, weighing from 1100 pounds down to 32 pounds. Conditions in the air and on the ice have made aircraft and tractor operation not only hazardous but extremely difficult. The conditions under which the flights have been made necessitated carrying exceptionally heavy loads and on many occasions overloads. The motors were continuously overworked and the delicate mechanisms subjected ```markdown ``` CAPTAIN TIM HEALY, whose Ivory-Stamp Club of the Air is heard Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays over a coast-to-coast network, was caught in action by your photographer as he was telling a "story behind the stamp." nt 30,000 Miles O.

Loaded at all times to capacity they bucked the pounding, reading, jagged ice surface day and night, falling into crevasses, tearing off crank cases and oil pans, twisting frames, tearing off treads. These were the difficulties this terrible surface imposed upon the automotive units and as if this were not enough our tractors had to operate in temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero and in winds as high as 80 miles per hour. Snow storms and blizzards filled the radiators and intake manifolds with fine flint like particles of ice that had to be dug out with a chisel. Certainly the satisfactory operation of this equipment has brought out three salient factors; first the efficiency of the personnel, second the exceptional quality of the Tydi fuel and Veedol lubricants provided by the Tide Water Oil Company, and third the sturdiness of modern equipment. The gasoline driven automotive units of this expedition have covered a really astonishing mileage. The aircraft under Harold June have been in the air a total of 167 hours and in that time have flown over 20,000 miles.

In my report to Admiral Byrd as fuel and lubrication engineer, I stated that 20,350 gallons of Tydol gasoline and 1300 gallons of Veedol lubricating oil have been issued. Under the circumstances, this expedition is proud of its transportation department. Certainly it has acquired itself nobly and the program of exploration laid out by the commanding officer would have been impossible of accomplishment without the assistance of this department. Now that the expedition nears its end and the ships have left Little America the tractors and airplanes have performed their last effort in the Antarctic. About 200 tons of food and equipment were fown and hauled to the ships and finally when all the odds and ends were picked up one of the tractors and the planes themselves were loaded aboard and secured for the twelve thousand-mile voyage home. If our flagship, the oil burning Jacob Ruppert, is mistaken for an aircraft carrier on arrival in New York don't be surprised—she will have on board five airplanes, two of which are so large they can only be carried on deck. It has been a wonderful automotive expedition.
