Silbert, defended for municipal judge in 1933, has announced his candidacy for the municipal bench, this fall. He is chairman of the firemen's pension board. Atty Silbert is competent and deserving. The Rounder expects to see him win, this time, and proposes to help him do so. The Rev. David Olmstead Walker left about ten days ago for a visit in the south at Hot Springs, Ark., where he hopes to recuperate, it is said. The Bryant gasoline station figh has been hot, as all know, but The Rounder did not expect it to effect Walker's health in any such degree. Such mistreatment of members of the race who are trying to make a success of a business enterprise would be anything but creditable to a layman, to say nothing of a minister. Many members of St. James A. M. E, church frankly express their condemnation of their pastor and the course he has pursued in this matter. Here IS some news, sent The Rounder by one of our loyal members of local organized labor, to which he wants to call the attention of our councilmen particularly. This includes Herman Finkle of Ward 12 of course: I hope to see the day when legislation enacted guaranteeing our men certain trade jobs with the city and state that they cannot obtain at present because of certain international unions' color-bar clause. The American Federation of Labor should never enter any affiliate body on its rolls that bars another laboring man." And he is right! Our councilmen and mayor should "get busy" at once and get the discrimination, in the case of the city, and the Democrats can do the same thing in the case of the state. But will they? Watch and see! Favoritism residents of the 24th Ward by city employees who collected ashes and in the 11th Ward, by showelling snow off of the long sidewalks in front of St. Johns A.M. E, church, secured considerable criticism and much undesirable newspaper notoriety, last week for Councilmen Persky and Payne, respectively. As the election approaches, there is increasing complaint by city employees who are compelled to pay $1 each pay day, making $2 a month, allegedly to the Republican organizations in Wards 11 and 17 and twenty-five cents a month in the 12th Ward. Many of them have that duty, working a time has been a day or a two week and therefore they are unable to stand the "stab." Some of them are greatly embittered as a result. There is going to be trouble, this fall, for councilman and other Republican candidates. 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. —Wednesday's Plain Dealer. The good old "Colored Wards" are depended upon at every election to "save the day" for the Republican party of this city, our voters consti- tuted to be the most diverse every other race, represented in it (the party), has representation in MAYOR LaGUARDIA AND "DE LAWD" HARRISON. The Gazette is indebted to The Associate Press and The Cleveland Daily News for the above portrait of New York City's Mayor, Florico LaGuardia, and Richard B. Harrison, "de lawd" of "Green Pastures," possibly one of the most popular and successful plays of recent years. Mr. Harrison, who gave seven visits to Cleveland, may have gone when, he said, he was "eating cheese and crackers and sardines and bologna." This of course was long before he "found any success." In those days, he was an "elocutionist" and reading whenever he could get an opportunity to do so—in churches, halls, etc. Our acquaintance with him began at that time. When the above picture was made, he was back home in Harlem (N. Y. City), after a lengthy absence, and paying his respects to Mayor LaGuardia. Harrison has appeared in all the performances of "Green Pastures" which now number close to two thousand, traveling through the northern and southern parts of the country. In addition to working with the company, he has travelled over forty thousand miles. During his visit with Mayor LaGuardia, the latter said: "Tell me, Lawd, are there any poh iticians in heaven?" Said "de Lawd" to LaGuardia: 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 ours, 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! Separate days for our women continue to be the established policy at health centers and, too, in the section of the city where most of them live. This situation would not last a single day if Councilman Lawrence Payne were interested enough or sufficiently courageous to act. He is chairman of the City Council's welfare committee with power to institute reform. He should not be necessary. NAACP members engage in elaborate maneuvers to remedy a situation that could be corrected by the issuance of a single order. Since election time will be here only too soon, while the preliminaries of the campaign are already under way, we suggest to Payne that he display a little initiative. And we would urge upon his colleagues, especially those who claim to "represent" our people, that doing so would be less talking big to job-holders. In their words who are forced to listen to them. The NAACP local branch and our local Federation of Women's clubs should carry the matter to Mayor Harry L. Davis at once. Sextuplets of Color. New Orleans, La.—Dr. Edward Schumann, of the medical faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, says he has been informed of the birth of six children to a woman on the African gold coast. Speaking at a medical meeting last week Thursday night, Dr. Schumann exhibited a picture of the sextuplets he said was sent to him by a medical missionary. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "You better ask me, Mr. Mayor, will you see any politicians in heaven." Thus did two men, one the chief executive of a great city, the other a white-haired trouper, just fool around poking fun at one anarcher and both enjoying, the laughs. The New York Herald-Tribune telling its readers that "de Lawd" had returned said: "Altho he has amassed half a dozen honorary degrees on his tour, he confessed that they didn't mean much to him simply because he did not know what they meant. He had lots of governors and mayors on his trips—seven governors and 14 president remembered his seventieth birthday with telegrams—but he explained those greetings by saying he had had a good press agent. Three things stood out most in his memory. The first was the reception he got in his home town of London, Ont., which he had not visited in 50 years; the second was the inconsiderate treatment which he received in some few northern and in many southern cities, and the third was the meeting in St. Louis with the descendant of the family with which his mother lived before the War of the Rebellion. FOR CORRECT TIME Electric Clocks Are Decidedly the Best—See the Fine Display in Builders' Exchange Bldg. Running a household efficiently probably doesn't call for a split-second schedule, but still father wants to know that the clock on the mantel is right so that he doesn't start for the station on that big trip 12 east at 8:32 when the train leaves at 8:30. And mother is glad to have the correct time so that she doesn't have to hurry the meal because the clock is wrong. And the correct time is doubly important because the radio for that thrilling program. To serve modern demands, electric clocks have been perfected and by simply plugging them in at any handy convenience outlet, a simple little motor keeps the clock running constantly without any attention or winding.

There was my brother, Tom, and my brother, Will, and my sister, Victoria—she was named after Queen Victoria and never got married to her, but she disguised me in everything she does—and there was the mayor and the city fathers, to escort me to my hotel. After the performance there was a supper and reception in the little church where my mother and father, who were 'underground railroaded' from the South to Canada, had been married in 1854. The town gave me a brass plaque, and I was the brass plaque on it to commemorate the event. It was like old times to be with my brothers and sisters, but I hardly knew any of the others, old fellows with snow-white hair, with whom I had once played. They all gathered round, though, and reminded me of what a terrific fighter I was. And they all told me that they knew all along, from the day I left home, that I would make good." When "de Lawd" and his troupe of 70 players pulled into the Pennsylvania station, N. Y. City, recently, the first thing he did was to taxi over to New York's city hall and pay a visit to his long-time friend, Mayor LaGuardia. Electrical League rooms in the Builders Exchange Bldg.

Charles E. Coughlin, radio priest of Royal Oak, Mich., states that he sincerely sympathizes with the "Negro" in his unfortunate position, in some respects so like, that of the Irish in Ireland. His silence on the subject of lynch-murder he declares, is not due to indifference or approbation, as Mr. Roberts inferred in his letter to Fr. Coughlin, Continuing Fr. Coughlin said: "I am sure you must realize that it is impossible for me to embrace all the abuses which arise from time short in this country in the one short hour I have of my disposal for my broadcasts. However, I agree with you that the subject of lynchings is of great importance, and perhaps I will be able to see my way clear to speak on this topic in one of my future broadcasts." "SCOTTSBORO" APPEALS To the U. S. Supreme Court—Former Attorney General Tom Knight, Jr., Now Lieutenant Governor, Still Prosecutor. Washington, D. C.—For the second time in three years, the United States Supreme Court, Feb. 15 and 18 heard protests against the "lynch" verdicts of death in the Scottsboro cases. The appeals were based upon the constitutional question of the exclusion of Afro-Americans from the grand and petit juries that indicted and tried the boys. The forgery of names of six alleged to be upon the jury rolls of Jackson County, Ala., in an effort to cheat the boys out of their appeal to the Supreme Court was also made a basis for reversal in the protests and appeals. The cases of Clarence Norris and Haywood Patterson, the boy-victims under sentence of death, were argued jointly. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $2.00 9ix Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Secretary Walter White of the NAACP is asking the Roosevelt administration for the appointment of an Afro-American to the contemplated labor board. This ought to be done, of course, but we have got just about as much chance to get that representation as the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill has to be passed in the U. S. Congress. Southern Democratic "crackers" are in control. --- Ex- Congressman Oscar Stanton DePriest of Chicago was banquetted at the nation's capital, the other night, by friends lead by Kelly Miller, former dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Why was he so honored? Because he charged our people $150 a speech, as a rule, when he served them, thruout his two terms in The Congress, we suppose. And this is about all he did for them, with so very much to be done. Prof. Miller, in promoting the banquet, was running true to form. He is another weak "sister." --- Congressman DePriest is just four years late with his "legislative program." He had plenty of time during that period to make an effort in Congress along the lines suggested in his program and failed utterly to do so. He was too busy, making speeches at $150 per, to "measure up" to his golden opportunities for good work for the race. His suggestion of Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York City, an officer in one of our regiments (369th) during the World War, as a probable candidate for the Republican nomination for president is not a bad one, however. AMERICA AWAKENS! There are increasing signs that the political hysteria which swept the United States for a few years is passing. The people are getting their American feet back on firm American soil, and the demagogues who cry over the air and through the press—the Musketeers of Utopia—may find it harder to carry on. It is no longer popular to scout at the Constitution, or to poke fun at American institutions which have carried the standard of living in this country far beyond other lands. In New York State the legislature is enacting legislation to require students who enter colleges supported by the state in whole or in part to take the oath of allegiance to the Constitution of the State and Nation. The Congress, with Representative Virginia Jenckes, Indiana's woman legislator, leading the way, has before it a resolution to require the display of Old Glory on every Federal building. William Randolph Hearst, publisher, is conducting a full-blossomed movement to drive from colleges professors teaching dangerous radicalism. These and other moves prophesy a rougher road ahead for our long-haired friends who seek to stir class hatreds in this country. ABYSSINIANS BRAVE. Premier Mussolini of Italy is sending 10,000 troops to Ethiopia (Abyssinia). This in his Opera Bouffe. The population of Abyssinia is five and one-half million. Its standing army numbers one hundred thousand with a milita of three or four hundred thousand in addition—all trained under capable German and Belgian officers. The topography of the country is such that it is very easily defended. Ethiopians or Abyssinians are brave, their soldiers among the best in the world. If Mussolini starts war in Africa, it will be a long and gruelling affair. He may win in the end with his hundred aeroplanes, and then he may not! Italy didn't, some years ago. One thing sure, thousands of Italian soldiers and their black allies in Italian Somaliland will "pass out", and the cost to Italy will be tremendous. Premier Mussolini's bragging and blowing in the newspapers of the world about how many million men he can put in the Italian army will not scare Emperor Hailie Selassie or anyone else in Ethiopia. All the world knows Benito by this time. "STEVEDORE" ROTTEN! Last week, The Gazette was informed that The Gilpin Players, with the assistance of two young white men (or "grey men," as Atty, Clarence Darrow would say) were soon to present the play, "Stevedore," some of the language of which is too vile—insulting, derisive, abusive and ROTTEN—to print or use in any but the lowest dens of iniquity. This information was hard to credit because we did not believe that Russell W. Jelliffe and wife who coach The Gilpin Players, and manage the E. 38th St. Playhouse, would lend themselves to anything of the kind, altho there have been rumors in the past that they had The Gilpin Players present ("Negro") plays objectionable to the intelligent of the race for the purpose of raising money for some purpose or other, catering, in the main, to a class of poor whites who enjoy seeing and hearing our people ridiculed, andided and "made monkies of," especially by members of the race intelligent to know better than to be so used. Therefore, we paid little attention to these rumors. In the case of the "Stevedore," we decided to investigate and did so, and found that the information we had been given, relative to it, was not only correct but did not embrace all of the ROTTEN language used in the play. Therefore, Tuesday we notified Mayor Harry L. Davis, Chief of Police George Matowitz and twenty-five of our leading local ministers. The Mayor sent his letter to Chief Matowitz with instructions to investigate. The result was Miss Witt, Captain at the Woman's Police bureau; Sergeant James Hogan, Detective George Showers and Assistant Police Prosecutor Perry B. Jackson were sent to the Karamu "theater," E. 38th St. and Central Ave. Wednesday evening, to see the rotten play and report to the Mayor, Chief of Police and Police Prosecutor, Thursday morning. This was being done as The Gazette went to press. MITCHELL'S TALK. Hon. Oscar DePriest's successor as a member of the U. S. Congress from the first Illinois district, the Hon. Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, did not make the best impression with his speech at Mt. Zion Cong, church, this city, last week Friday evening. The meeting was sponsored by the Cuyahoga County "Negro" Democratic League and an exceptionally large audience most of them "out of curiosity," as one said, was present to hear the speaker. Among the things he said were the following: "In the Democratic party in the administration of President Roosevelt lies the first real opportunity the American 'Negro' has had in his public life that has finished its mission. It lead only as far as it could exploit us. "Now there is a brighter day dawning. We are realizing we can no longer follow the calamity howlers who have misrepresented us. No one needs a new deal more than we do and our hope of finding it rests only with the (Roosevelt) administration. Our government is being reshaped. No longer is it in Wall street; no longer is it in Chicago—now it is in the White House and there also our opportunity lies." Atty, Mitchell must have been joking when he said the Democratic party in the Roosevelt administration afforded the Afro-American his "first real opportunity." Opportunity to do what, get what? Neither party nor the Roosevelt administration has done anything for the "American Negro," nor do they intend to do anything. They replaced the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue, N. Y. City, with a white Democrat and have done the same thing in the case of every other worth-while place held by a member of the race under the preceding (Republican) administration. There has not been a single good appointment of a "Negro" Democrat, "Special Assistant" jobs do not count. Southern Democrats, in control of the Democratic party, the U. S. Congress and the Roosevelt administration, are not only ousting Afro-Americans from the few decent jobs they held under a Republican administration but are promoting segregation thruout the North in every way they can and doing in everything else to bring about the miserable condition here they have in the South as far as our people are concerned. What is most astonishing is "Negroes" who left that benighted section of the country and benighted North to get away from it are most conspicuous in the ranks of Democracy despite its absolute refusal to treat them at all like it does other members of the Democratic party. They are gluttonies for punishment, from southern "crackers" and the latter's northern political allies. The first real opportunity "the American Negro" has had in his life" was given to him by the Republican party, many years ago, and not by "the Democratic party in the administration of President Roosevelt." Congressman Mitchell's statements that "the Republican party has finished its mission" and that "it lead only as far as it could exploit us" are really ridiculous, and nothing political buncomy.

WHY DON'T YOU DIP IT IN GASOLINE AND FIND OUT WHAT COLOR IT IS? man has a wonderful (?) judgment and little concern for the truth who can say with a straight face "now there is a brighter day dawning with southern Democratic "crackers" in control of the government and facing the economic depression. "Calamity howlers who have misrepresented us," if there be such, are not near so bad as the promoters of lynch-murder, disfranchisement, "jim-crow" cars and segregation who are now "showing their hand" in Congress, making the road very rocky indeed for the President whose winter home is at Warm Springs, Georgia. We are free to confess that Afro-Americans need a "New Deal" possibly more than any other Americans. However, the mistreatment of our people, particularly in the South, under the Roosevelt "New Deal." It may not be any by means encourage us to expect it even in the distant future, because southern Democratic "crackers" are administering the so-called "New Deal." It may be true that our government needs "reshaping" but hardly the kind it is getting from the White House where there is absolutely no opportunity for us, judging the administration what it has done or rather what it has failed to do, up-to-date. The Hon. Oscar DePriest's successor, the Hon. Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, the first "Negro" Democrat to be elected to Congress, impresses us as being only a "time-serving Negro" Democrat of very ordinary ability. FREDERICK DOUGLASS Unquestionably the Greatest American "Negro" or Afro-American— Orator, Journalist, States- 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 or Lincoln-Douglass celebrations among our 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. D. R. 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. Williams was the first Afro-American member of the Ohio Legislature. The Hon. Frederick Douglass toowered, 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 ever approached the great Douglass, and present was William Scholz, the 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 great Douglass, on the eve of his last trip abroad, a few 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 lead the Colored citizens of Ohio to wise political action." The following, a tribute to the great Douglas, 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 purity of diction and melody of voice than his. His life, for his race, his country and his God, was as great as any recorded in the pages of history." THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS Gold Rush Days of '49 to Be Relived at San Diego Exposition LAST GRAVE SALOON Architect's sketch of Golden Gulch, one of the many interesting exhibits of the California Pacific International Exposition opening in San Diego May 29. SAN DIEGO, Calif.—An authentic old mining town, literally lifted out of the roaring gold rush days of '49, is being reconstructed on the floor of the natural canyon in Bailo Park here as one of the unique features which will greet visitors to the $100,000,000 California Pacific International Exposition which will open on May 29th. Even the oldest and most weathered westerner, with the clearest memories of the gold field days, will have to blink his eyes in wonder and amazement when he mounts the battered stage coach which has been mustered into service, and rides down the dusty streets of Golden Gulch. The romance of the old west will live here again in more than just mere "atmosphere." when they are not "whooping it up" in the Last Chance Saloon which will just be around the turn from Big Joe's Photograph Gallery. Showmanship, as such, will be "out" in Golden Gulch by the unanimous rule of its own population. The inhabitants of this village during the fair, will work and work hard. High up the canyon wall, above the mining town, an old timbered mine shaft has been sunk deep into the mountain, and after the Exposition opens in May the ore cars will rumble up its sides and deposit their loads on the dump. On the banks of the stream above Golden Gulch miners will pan for pay dirt each day and the sluice boxes will function just as in the days of '49. During the Exposi- Crews of workmen are now busy constructing the buildings and shacks of rough hewn lumber which will line the streets of this frontier town. The blacksmith shop from the open door of which the live sparks of an active forge will issue this Spring, is almost completed; and just below it the "laundry" shack of Tom Yo, the inevitable and hard working Celestial of the village has been finished even to the crude sign-painting job. Half way up "Main Street" a crew of workmen are putting the finishing touches to a General Store where the boys of the town will spend hours of quiet conversation THE WEEKLY NEWS A. A.

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, edition of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold 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 old persons by influence 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 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 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, such injury result in disabling the livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among such children in accordance to the laws of the distribution of the sum 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 hard, to include it with the cost 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 occurrs may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person killed or seriously injured by a person killed or of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or MOBS. comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 1.) 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 or place by public theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be bured not less than fifty dollars or more, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble in our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under $^{f}$, in the courts.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE After Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe After Seeing It In Shanghai Bargain Day at a Shanghai Shop. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. - WNU Service. EVERY day, all day, and for into the night, famous Nanking road, which leads westward from Shanghai's Bund, to become Bubbling Well road, is packed to overflowing with traffic. Especially is this so in the afternoon when offices are closed and workers are homeward bound. Only a score or so years ago Bubbling Well road was a favorite place for leisurely driving in the cool of the late afternoon. The wealthy then rode in handsome earrings behind trotting horses in charge of finely appareled coachmen and groomes. But the city, too, has grown up along this street that was once largely residential and a country drive. Large department stores, clubs, recreation trails, towering apartment houses, churches, a Y. M. C. A., and commercial houses of all sorts have risen on every side. At night the road looks like a well-lighted Broadway, with its profusion of neon lamps and moving electric signs. In this westward movement and growth, business and religious structures have halted their march only to preserve space for the race course and public recreation grounds, and have left this small green island of sport and relaxation in their midst. At the time the club was established it marked the outward fringe of the city. Wherever the Englishman has come to the East, he has brought his sport with him, and he could hardly suffer to see the race course and the other places of recreation disturbed by business. The Shanghai races claim a great deal of attention. About the Far Eastern coasts the Shanghai sweepstakes have always been an important tople of conversation in the spring and autumn, especially among British ship officers. Each is always sure that his ten-dollar ticket is the one that is going to win the grand sweep of more than $200,000 Mex. Even the banks and offices declare half holidays when the semi-annual race meets are being held. Shanghai has also provided parks and gardens where people may loiter and parents may take their youngsters for a happy outing and toy-too-sailing. Motorists may enjoy a spin over an excellent short circuit of fine road into the countryside known as the Rubicon road. Sharp Contrasts in Streets. To the new visitor to Shanghai the street contrasts are vivid. On the wide streets are window displays worthy of any Fifth avenue store; on cross-streets shops are hung with bright-colored flags, covered with Chinese ideographs, telling of bargains, sales, and the nature of the goods supplied. Nearby a street vendor shouts the wares contained in the packs or portable kitchens that swing from the ends of his shoulder pole. Modern talking cinemas, presenting the latest films, and some high-class Chinese theaters debouch their gay throngs; tenements close their board fronts, darken, and are still, except for a few who try to snatch a little longer working time away from the night. Bright limousines unload a group of people at some large hotel along the Bund to attend a formal dinner; other people are frequenting wealthy Chinese restaurants. A mission is giving soup and religious teaching to a queue of hungry souls. Chromatic signboards proclaim the world's most advertised articles of trade. What matters it if two Chinese women are brawling lowly beneath a radio sign, or that outdoor Chinese barbers are scraping their patient victims in the shadow of a wall that bears advertisements of the most highly recommended shaving preparations? Large, efficient schools and colleges rise in stately elfies; in a single room on an alley youngsters are shouting over and over, at the tops of their voices, the lists of characters they are learning. Jazz bands wall at modern night clubs and cabarets, while a lone hawker pipes a few wavering notes on a flageolet and hopes for one more customer for his pickled fruits before he goes wearily to bed. A woman beggar, carrying a poorly dressed babe, holds her hand out toward an ermine-wrapped lady who is carrying a Pekingese dog. Day or night, summer or winter, life glimpses on the street are as diverse and fragmentary as these words I use in trying to suggest them. But all summarize Shanghai. Activity on Waterways. Turning from streets to waterways, one can also observe ceaseless activity on the Soochow, Siecaweil, and other creeks, as well as on the Whangpoo river. At one time Soochow creek was a stream of much greater size than it is now, but through the years it has become silted and much canalized. Thousands of Chinese craft and houseboats animate this creek, which cuts a sinuous path down through the city and joins the Whangpoo at the northern end of the Bund. Vegetables, rice, and other products that supply Shanghai's heavy demand for food supplies and goods for transshipment are brought in from the country districts and from Soochow way, where the creek connects with China's historic Grand canal Some of the goods that are discharged from steamers at Woosung are also brought down to Soochow creek on smaller boats and unloaded into warehouses along the waterway. Thus a constant stream of traffic flows under several bridges that span the creek and its banks always present a busy appearance. And the Whangpoo! More than thirty-five million tons of foreign shipping cut muddy furrows up the Whangpoo in a year, according to Shanghai's clearance papers. Hundreds of junks move up and down the river with the tides and winds. Some of them are heavy Ningpo junks, high sterns colorfully painted with the Phoenix and other symbols, transporting poles and timber from Foowch. Other junks are engaged in coastal trading, but many of them form the large fishing fleet, or do lighterage work between Shanghai and the mouth of the river at Woosung. Large ocean liners and freighters lie at dock along the water front. The Japanese shipping companies have considerable berthing capacity along the Hongkow settlement front, and American and other shipping concerns have established wharves and godowns farther up the river, on the Pootung side, across the Whangpoo, above the city, Lumber ships, tankers, steamers, and warships lie in midstream. Ships of many flags look to Shanghai's trade Launches, lighters, and sampans maneuver about, along with ferries and large flat-bottom river boats that transport numbers of Chinese up the Yangtze. Even women beggars comb the waters and hover around ships to salvage in nets food scraps or anything else of use thrown overboard. There could hardly be a more diversified grouping of ships in any waters. Statistics show that the harbor has accommodated as many as 156 merchant vessels and 22 warships at the same time, besides, of course, large numbers of miscellaneous smaller craft. Projects to improve the Harbor Projects to improve the Harbor. Despite the figures on ship move ment, there is much to be desired of the Whangpoo harbor, as Shanghai looks toward her future. The mouth of the river has a tendency to silt up and also to form shalows along the channel, and thus to make it difficult for ships of deep draft to pass even at high tide. Extensive labor on the part of the Whangpoo conservancy board has made improvements in the harbor, so that pace has been kept with the growing need. It is not the Whangpoo, however which causes the greatest concern in planning for the deeper-draft vessels of the future, but rather the sand bars in the Yangtze mouth. The fact that five billion cubic feet of sediment douch into the sea each year to pile up at the river mouth presents no small problem. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 2. 1935 A Here is something to try out on your knitting needles. Petter begin now so as to have it ready for wear in the early spring days. This smart knitted dress of knitting and crochet cotton has everything to commend it. The drop shoulders of the blouse impart a distinctive style touch. Then, too, the five brown buttons which fasten it are clever. The openwork crochet stitchery around the bottom of the blouse and skirt looks lacy and pretty. The most interesting detail, however, is the ribbing around the hips which insures a perfect fit to the skirt. Being carried to a depth of eight inches or more at each side, a wonderfully slenderizing effect is the result. Even Slender Girls Need Girdles, Says Authority Wear some sort of a girdle or corset, no matter how thin you are, Nina Hyde advises the tail, willowy girl in the current Good Housekeeping. Figures are important today, and a corset will give you softer bips, a better bust and a neater waist. Stand up straight, and be proud of your height, for it isn't smart to slouch any more. The new styles are excellent for you, particularly the tunic styles if they are not too long. So are the bloused effects, and soft shirrings the throat. STYLE NOTES Chiffon costume blouse is on the new program. Blue in all shades is chief color topic for spring. Full-back jackets and novelty capes invade the suit realm. Lots of frilly lingerie touches appear on the "first" frocks shown. Many style leaders are advocating gray for day and evening. Border prints are shown in great variety. Ombre satin is strikingly beautiful for evening gowns. Full Skirts on Evening Gowns Gain Prominence The little-girl love of fancy-dress costumes more or less latent in most of us has its reflection in the season's period evening gowns. As opposed to the slim, tailored contingent of formal gowns there is a growingly important division of full-skirted evening costumes, gracefully reminiscent of the days of pomp and splendor, but modified to the tenor of the present day. They are used largely in sheer fabrics such as net or marquise, but there is a goodly representation of rusty silks and satins. NAVY BLUE, BROWN NEW COMBINATION Is Now Big Favorite in Tailored Sports Frocks. Navy blue and brown is the newest color combination seen in tailored sports frocks. Some one started the fad last summer, wearing navy gahardine sports coats with brown slacks, and vice versa. Now we see the combination in colorful tweeds for town or country wear—navy blue and brown plaid tweeds, or blue woolens flecked in brown, to be worn with accessories of either color. A smart two-piece sports frock of navy blue and brown shepherd check featherweight tweed is austerely tailored in shirtwalt style, and is worn with a wide brown suede polo belt with triple traps and buckles, a brown suede cossack cap, brown walking shoes and hand bag. Another variation of the theme is a navy blue homespun with woven polka dots in brown, also with brown accessories. And there is a brown tweed suit flecked in blue which suggests a navy blue jersey blouse, a hat to match, and a blue suede hand bag with a brown wood initial backle. SHOW NEW DRESSES IN PASTEL SHADES Trend in Frocks Is Toward Spring Color Scheme. There is a springtime look to the latest dresses being shown by designers. White and pastel shades are featured among the formalis. Typical of the trend is a white matelasse gown which has its square neckline enhanced by a bertha. This is held down with brilliant clips at the corners. The skirt is gored so that it flares generously at the hemline. Pale blue chiffon enlivened by tiny star-like beads fashion another lovely evening dress that everyone will know is very, very new. A circular flounce adorns the bodice top and there are two circular flounces at the bottom of the floor length skirt. The most effective feature of this frock, however, is the ombre shaded sash varying from white to very deep blue. It wraps twice around the waist and may be tied either at the center front or center back. The peplum evening frock is a reminder that the two-piece mode can't be disregarded. Bright red taffeta is the arresting material that is used for one unusual model. The bodice is cut quite simply with a modified bateau neckline. It extends over the shoulders far enough to cover the top of the arms. The peplum is hip length and slashed at front, sides and back. Goring supplies graduated fullness for the skirt. Fur to Match Dress New Departure in Fashion Although diaphanous chiffon and pastel printed satin evening gowns are already heralding the spring mode, there's lots of time yet for such wintry things as furs. Many of the best-looking new formal dresses have managed to combine a touch of spring with winter by having a bit of fur somewhere on their pate, lovely surfaces. Fur to match the dress is the most fashionable trick at present. Thus a soft, cloudy blue crepe frock has cloudy blue for outlining the huge armholes of its matching jacket. Just as effective is a dusty pink rough crepe gown with dusty pink fur bordering its loose and low decolletage in back. Long-haired pelts are invariably used for this matching system. Short-haired furs, however, frequently form a note of contrast. Mink gives a luxurious touch to satin gowns in either pink or blue. THE FASHION WEEKLY In the game of fashion anything is liable to happen. And it has, for bangs are "in" again to the joy of some to whom they are flattering and to the consternation of others who are loathe to give up the present style of hairdressing which reveals the lines of the forehead. It remains to be seen whether bangs have come to stay. Word from Paris declares that they have. However in America we shall see what we shall see. FLASHES FROM PARIS Flat wide belts for silm walsts are new. Youthful new hats trend to bonner effects. Lace gowns register in great number. Special prints are made after the dress is cut. Bright tulle sashes are employed to introduce unusual color notes. Designers go back to "Regency" fashions for inspiration. Dyed lace accessories flourish in the mode. Knee length is prescribed for some of the smartest shorts of the season. These are rather narrow and look exactly like cut-off slacks. Wear Cossack Hats London women are wearing Cossack hats this winter. NEWSREEL ISSUE CHORUS GIRLS, who entertained at the Milky Way Charity Ball in New York City, chose the new pneumatic-tired, noiseless Borden's milk wagons, which are equipped with horns that "MO-O-O" as the most appropriate conveyances to the Ball. These non-sleep-disturbing wagons, drawn by rubber-shod horses, are another contribution of large milk distribution to the increased efficiency of milk delivery in large cities. NORMAN C.
