Taylor, 90, had two regrets upon his retirement after 60 years in the real estate business in Cleveland. He hated to have his office telephone discontinued and regretted that he could no longer feed pigeons that hovered around his office windows. His attachment to his office telephone came from long association with it. Taylor was one of the 76 original subscribers to Bell telephone service in Cleveland in 1879, and its name has been listed in every Cleveland telephone directory during the past 56 years. He grew very fond of the pigeons that make their home in cornices of downtown Cleveland buildings through years of observing them. A regular item in his office supplies was a bag of peanuts and corn. Every morning he opened his window and the birds flew in to feast on his desk.

JACKSON ON WHAT'S DOING Hon. Harry E. Davis' recent address at the forum of the Western Reserve Republican club was his first move in the interest of his candidacy for a local municipal judgelship. Attys. Frank Lyons, Chester Gillespie and Selby Minor are also candidates for the job. And there are others. George R. Hooper, of Blaine Ave., went down to the Court House, Monday, to pay his taxes, leaving $48 in script in an envelope on a counter. Tuesday morning, bright and early, he was back and hoping against hope. When he asked about his $48, he was told that "Deputy Trump was found it and turned it in." His proffered $10 reward was declined. George says that is one of the greatest breaks he has ever had. According to local daily newspapers, Monday, Benny Mason, Cleveland's "policy king," has learned that technical law, like a safety razor blade, has two edges. One of these cut him loose from a gambling charge because his recent grand jury testimony had won him immunity. The other separated him from $510 which police had seized during a raid on a bank in St. March 11, because, as Police Judge Merrick said, there was no evidence to show the money belonged to Mason. Financially speaking, Mason was thrown for a loss, since the usual fine for promoting a scheme of chance is nowhere near $510. Seven others, his employees, were given suspended penalties by Judge Merrick, who said he did not wish to punish "the little fry," while the big fish gets thru the net. Aaron Worman, a lawyer for Julian Rucker, 2196 E. 97th St, charged with promoting a scheme of chance, were sentenced 10 days and fined $50 and costs, suspended. According to recent current talk, Councilman Leroy Bundy and Russell Jelliffe of the "Neighborhood Association," E. 38th St. Playhouse, not "love" one another, these days. How true this is The Rounder has yet to learn. It is also said that George Bender's and Bundy's close friendship of some months ago has evaporated. If true, what's happened to estrange them? City employees in Wards 11 and 17 are complaining bitterly because of the $2 a month they are forced to pay or lose their jobs, like Troy Thomas did. Many of them have been and are still earning only $14 a week, it is said, and can ill afford to be "nicked" that much ($2) every month. Some of them say they do not want to work in the treasury of their ward organizations. If it does not, then where does it go? Since there are more than 250 city jobholders in each ward, what becomes of the five hundred or more dollars per month they pay? An appeal to the courts would bring about an accounting and disclose this more or less important information, "Step on the gas," boys! ART EXHIBITION New York City — The Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53d St., announces an exhibition of African "Negro" art, opened to the public, Tuesday, to remain on view thru May 19. Mr. James J. Sweyeen, art critic and author, has selected the 603 objects being shown from private and museum collections in England, Germany, Belgium, France and the United States. Sculpture in wood, bronze and ivory are shown as well as textiles, implements and weapons. Objects in the exhibition have been drawn principally from west central Africa. COMMITS SUICIDE John H. Williams, Son of Dwight R. Williams of Cleveland, a Trustee of the State Department, Hangs Himself. Wilberforce, O.—John H. Williams, age 11, son of Dwight R. Williams of Cleveland, committed suicide in his room in O'Neil building, dormitory for boys, Monday night about 8 o'clock. No motive for the act is known. The body was found in a closet of the room with a piece of electric-light cord around the neck. Young Williams had evidently planned suicide. He formed a noose with the cord, tied a knot at the end, and lay on the floor. He stood on a chair and kicked it from beneath his feet. The coroner returned a verdict of suicide. Young Williams' mother died when he was quite small. The present Mrs. Williams, his step-mother, reared him and was a devoted and loving mother. Mr. Williams is a deputy U. S. mishal in the Cleveland district. The woman he taken to the tattooistium of Galloway Hall where it was viewed from 6 to 7 o'clock by the student body, and was shipped, Tuesday night, to Cleveland for burial. URGES ETHIOPIA AND ITALY TO AVOID WAR. OH, SAY, CAN YOU SEE! Cleveland Originates and Other Cities and Countries Follow—A Request From Spain. Publications of the Sight Saving Council of Cleveland, first of its kind to be organized anywhere, are being translated into Spanish to form the basis for a similar movement in Spain. Prof. Henry B. Dates, chairman of the Sight Saving Council here, has just received a letter from P. H. Whitmore, of the American colony in Barcelona, Spain, requesting permission for the trans-formation of the movement has spread to the rest of the world. Just as the Community Fund idea spread from Cleveland to many cities all over the nation, the organization here of the Sight Saving Council has now been taken up in 68 cities and towns from San Francisco to Rutland, Vermont. What is more, 29,000 copies of the two publications of the Sight Saving Council, the sight-saving councils, civic committees and other interested organizations in these cities in the 25 states where sight-saving work has become a civic effort. The booklets are "Eyes in Danger" and "Your Eyes." Each had an edition of 100,000 copies for Cleveland use. The Council has just authorized the publication of a booklet for younger children called "Champion's Eyes." This booklet carried messages from a number of the sport world. The message from Eddie Cantor reads, "Sight Saving should become a national movement in a nation with a song that starts, 'Oh, Say, Can You See.'" Nine Straight For Central Central High's basketball team, already Senate champion, last week Friday night made its record nine straight victories without a defeat. In its final game, Central defeated South, in the Red and Blue gym, 44 to 32. Big Nate Bryant, Central center, again carried his team, making eight floor goals and three fouls, 19 points. O! That Peacock—Jess Beaten Twice Jesse Owens, Ohio State's sophomore flash from Cleveland, got "trimmed" twice on the K. of C. program, in N. Y. City, last Saturday night. He was defeated in the jump by Eulace Peacock of Temple U., and finished third to Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette U., and Peacock in the 60-yard dash final. Jess could in chase him in the Peacock leaped 24 feet 11% inches. In the dash, Jess was beaten in 6.4 seconds after he had finished second to Peacock in a semi-final heat, caught in 6.3 seconds.

City) to honor Richard B. Harrison, who died in the "Metropolis of America," last week Thursday, after several weeks' illness in a N. Y. hospital. The cast of "Green Pastures," the celebrated he headed for five long years never before performed a performance until his recent illness, which thru the Harlem church where the actor's body lay in state. Services followed, the next day, in the vast and impressive interior of the Protestant Cathedral of St. John The Divine, with Rt. Rev. Wm. T. Manning, bishop of the New York Diocese, and the Rev. Shelton H. Bishop, rector of St. Phillips P. E. church in Harlem, officiating. A throng of 7,500 devoted followers of the deceased, members of both races in the church, the Church, the theater, and Richard B. Harrison, great lay following in Harlem, filled the great crossing of the Cathedral and overflowed into the nave, the ambulatory and the chapels of the choir. At the foot of the isle before the sanctuary rested the bronze coffin covered with a blanket of red roses and white carnations, 1,657 blooms, one for each of the performances of "Green Pastures" in which he participated. This was the triumph of the memoir of Charles Winter Wood, Harrison's understudy during the past five years, spoke feelingly of his long-time friend at the services, saying among other things: "We thank the good Lord for the victory and triumph of Richard Harrison. He was one of the rare souls of our American Life. He was the embodiment of simplicity. He Fulogized. Said Bishop Manning: "By his own qualities of soul and character he helped us to see the great truth which Christ and His Gospel teach, that whatever their race or nation or color, all men are brothers, some one Father and others a number of great human family on all this earth.

The qualities of soul and character which he showed are the qualities which give dignity and greatness to human lives everywhere." In the choir stalls were members of the Hall Johnson Choir that sang during the performance of "The Green Pastures." In flowing black cassocks they sang the favorite spirituals of "De Lawd," one of them the "City Called Heaven" which was sung by the children of Israel in the play as they marched in the cathedral several thousand more persons awaited the reappearance of the coffin. It was borne down the steps by palebearers who were fellow members of the "Green Pastures" cast—Daniel Haynes, the "Adam" of the play; Oscar Polk, who is the "Angel Gabriel," and others. Paul Lawrence Dunbar Harrison, his son and a Chicago orchestra leader, was the only member of the family in attendance. Harrison's wife and daughter were both ill in Chicago, his home, where final rites were conducted, Tuesday, a requiem high mass being sung at 11 a.m. at St. Edmund's Protestant Episcopal church, South Side, with the bishop of the diocese and the Rev. Samuel J. Martin, pastor, in charge. Burial in Lincoln cemetery, Chicago. It was one of the most largely attended funerals held in that city in many years, more than 25,000 were in the crowd. Harrison's age was given as 70, but he was older. His was a singular career. He was 65 years of age, or more, before his great chance, "The Green Pastures," came. In the past five years, Harrison became one of the most famous and most valued players on the American stage. He was critically recognized generally as a great actor, the most famous of the race in the last quarter of a century, or more. dustrial Department of Western University. Former A. M. E. bishop, W.

MARCH 23. 1935. The fomentors of that "race riot" in Harlem, N. Y. City, Tuesday, were "reds" (white), Communists, we are told. Wonder how long the Government will put up with that sort of thing?

The volume also covers the activities of the U. S. Navy and miscellaneous organizations during those years. --- Russia can mobilize an army of six million with one thousand aeroplanes; France, two and one-half million with three thousand aeroplanes; England, Italy, Germany and Poland, one and one-half million each with more than a thousand aeroplanes each; Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, one million each with over five hundred planes each. This country with less than half the army of either of the two last-named countries, makes a mighty poor showing, indeed. --- The Washington Post (daily) has announced that orders, understood to have emanated from the White House, have banned employment of more than one person in an immediate family in federal posts. And yet in the face of so much unemployment, both local political organizations are permitting two or more public places or jobs to be held in a number of "immediate" families. Even the Cuyahoga County Relief Association is guilty of this unfairness. When its attention was called to the matter, some months ago, it did nothing more than to plead in extenuation. A DUMB-BELL'S COMMENT. Winsor French, a Cleveland Daily Press columnist, said in that paper, Wednesday: "The attack made by The Gazette on the Karamu Theatre's fine production of 'Stevedore' is so silly it is actually amusing." We take it that Winsor French is just willfully dumb, in this particular instance. The Gazette made no attack "on the Karamu Theatre's fine production of 'Stevedore'" but did attack the rotten play for its PROFANE, OBSCENE and BLASPHEMOUS LANGUAGE which is far worse than an insult to all decent people. Not having witnessed the rotten play, we know nothing of its alleged "fine (?) production." The Gazette has made no comment or "attack" on the "production" of the rotten Communist play, "Stevdore." Whether it was good or bad did not interest us because language used in it was so vile—the kind that is absolutely unfit for the stage of any legitimate theater. It is difficult for us to believe that Windsor French wrote the few lines we quote from The Cleveland Press. They seem the output of some dumb-bell friend of his. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor.

MANY GUESS PHONE CHARGES TOO HIGH Surveys Show Long Distance Rates to Be Lower Than Public's Estimates Surveys conducted in Chicago and Cleveland show that most telephone users think long distance rates are higher than they actually are. At the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, visitors at the Bell telephone exhibit were asked to guess rates to certain cities. Most persons guessed that the rates were much higher than they actually are. In a similar experiment at the Cleveland Exposition, seven out of ten guessers who did not know the rates made the mistake of placing their estimates too high, in spite of a large sign that said "76 per cent guessed too high at the Century of Progress." Many Guesses Wrong While no record was kept of the amounts guessers gave as their estimates for calls from Cleveland, the guesses were very similar throughout to those made at Chicago. There, about 30 per cent of the guesses were at least twice as high as the actual rates. The average guess was 74 per cent higher than the actual rate. Although most persons seemed to know that the rate for station-to-station calls was lower at night than during the day, the amount of the reduction did not appear to be generally appreciated. The guess on night rates was, on an average, that they were 35 per cent lower than day rates. The actual reduction on most station-to-station rates at night is about 40 per cent. 7. Spelling Out Words One of the earliest signaling systems employed in actually spelling out messages with the letters of the alphabet was described by the Greek military historian Polybius (205-123 B C.). The operation of this system may best be explained by assuming its use in transmitting the English alphabet, the letters of which—excluding one, for example, "Z" — would be arranged in five vertical columns and five horizontal rows, thus: a f k p u b g l q v c h m r w d i n s x e j o t y At each sending station, two groups of torches, separated so as to be distinguishable from each other, would be provided, and arranged so that they could be displayed or concealed as desired. The number of torches in one group would indicate the vertical column in which the letter to be transmitted was found; the number in the other group, the horizontal row. Thus the letter "a" would be transmitted by one torch in the first group and one in the second, or 1-1. The word "arm" would thus be transmitted as 1-1, 4-3, 3-3.

Pittsburgh, Pa. — Promoter Lew Raymond last week telegraphed Max Baer an offer of $250,000 to defend his heavyweight title against Joe Detroit tightness at Forbes field, Pittsburgh, on July 4. I requested an immediate answer, Ray mond represents the Sportsmen's Enterprises, Inc., which backed the middleweight championship fight, here last summer, between Vince Dundee and Teddy Yarosz. It seems entirely too soon to brace a young fighter like Joe Frazier, who hardly has any experience in the against Heavy-weight champion of the World, Max Baer, regardless of his phenomenal success in the ring up-to-date. Chocolate "Trounced." Caracas, Venezuela.—"Kid Chocolate." Afro-Cuban ring sensation, was outclassed here, Sunday, in a ten-round bout with Simon Chavez before 10,000 spectators. Judges gave Chavez nine rounds, declaring the first round a draw. The "Kid" and "Chavez" were immediately despite the fact that he was groggy throughout the last three rounds. Wonder if "Chocolate" is "playin' possum" with a view to getting contests with good fat purses or whether he really is "washed up" after one of the longest and most successful careers in the fight game? When he meets any license to take nine out of ten rounds from the little Afro-Cuban. Before ELECTRICITY became a MESSENGER The romance of communication—of sending men's messages—is older than writing, or even speech. It is as old as humanity itself. Man's first messages were inarticulate grunts which expressed his thought and feeling—forerunners of the spoken word. From these inarticulate voice sounds and from speech have been evolved all forms of audible message-carriers or sound signals, such as whistles and horns, handclaps, drums and bells. From his gestures, which originally were made unconsciously, have been developed all forms of sign languages, including writing, which, as employed for communication purposes, is simply a series of portable symbols — that is, signs for ideas which may be carried from place to place. From gestures, too, have been developed all forms of visible signals used for communication at a distance, such as torches, beacon fires and semaphores. All communication systems based on sound-signals, sight-signals have, therefore, a common ancestry in the life of prehistoric man. Whatever their form, they are, as were his grunts and gestures, simply substitutes for speech. Editor's note: This is the first of a series of 12 stories recounting the history of communication. Others will follow. Jane Needs Both Phone and Mike The telephone is as essential as the microphone to Jane Froman, radio and Ziegfeld Follies star. Before Jane sings a single song on her radio program she calls her mother in Columbia, Mo., from New York and sings the song over the telephone to her. Her mother makes suggestions and corrections and then, and only then, is Jane ready to sing that song on the air. Jane's mother was Anna Barcafer, a famed vocal teacher and coach, and it was she who started Jane singing at the early age of six.

Bright Fresh Fashions For Summer Can Be Easily Enjoyed By Everyone THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES The HEADLINES Say: FAVORED fashions at the Winter sunshine resorts set new gay standards for Spring and Summer. Never before have fabric-makers and stylists worked together so successfully for those who want to dress effectively, yet economically. Regard these cotton costumes. One is green plaid seersucker, with wide sleeves, pleated skirt and yellow blouse. With it are shown a small white panama hat of new lines, white alligator handbag, white cotton gloves and white-and-brown opera pumps. The other is cotton pique, a two- piece dress with high-button blouse and four mannish, serviceable pockets, all in the much-discussed Regency manner and Regency blue. The hat matches. Comfortable and practical as these simple styles are, with all the smartness they have in addition, they gain much in value to any wearer because of the ease with which they can be kept spic-and-span throughout the summer. A quick swishing in the family washer, an ironing just as brief, and such costumes are as attractive as ever.

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 *Gazette*, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court issued a public declaration 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: 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined 6279.

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 fined not less than fifty dollars no more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than hundred dollars to the person aggrieved to the person, recorded 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 it, in the courts. A. E.

S. Bureau of Standards Building at Washington. Prepared by National Geographic Society. geodetic survey. For more than PRESIDENT Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. IN THE nation's capital, scientists and laymen employed by the United States government and private institutions are quietly at work making life easier and safer. Washington today has the largest number of scientific men and women gathered in any one spot of equal size in the world. In the government service alone are more than 5,000 scientists, attached to more than half a hundred bureaus and commissions whose research has uncovered many a new fact and created many a new instrument. Would you believe that the mere weight of your finger could bend a 5-inch steel bar? No? Well, wizards of the bureau of standards built an instrument so delicate that with it you can see the big bar bend when you lay your finger on it. Near by is a precision balance with an accuracy of one fifty-million of a pound. This scale is so delicate that, if you stand too near, the mere heat of your body affects its balance. Practical tests giving results useful in many trades go on all the time. You and other motor-car owners in America have saved millions of dollars through experiments made here with fuel, brake linings, tires, road material, etc. In simulating road tests for tires, for example, an automobile wheel with a nice new tire is put on a motor and speeded up. It runs against another wheel, a device which literally "runs the road past the wheel." This not only shows how fast the tire wears out, but it shows, too, how power is lost with different types of tires. That's a Wind Tunnel. That long, queer-looking structure out in the yard, with that big motor-driven fan roaring in one end, is a "wind tunnel." In it aerial models, bombs, etc., are used, to learn the effect of wind streams on them. In such tunnels tests are also made to show pressure on skyscrapers during wind storms; with the fan revolving in one end, an artificial wind is blown through these tunnels at a speed of from 75 to 180 miles an hour. When a house with a shingle roof gets after during a high wind, neighboring houses are in danger from flying sparks. To study this hazard in winds of different speed, the bureau built a shingle roof, used an airplane propeller to make the wind, and set fire to the roof. Thus it could study the flight of the embers. A device by which airships recover ballast was made at the bureau. An airship ordinarily loses weight equal to that of its fuel burned, but by this device the moisture from the exhaust is condensed, thus recovering more than a pound of water for each pound of gasoline consumed. This saves the waste of much lifting gas, hydrogen or helium, which formerly had to be released to maintain static equilibrium. And there are standards of performance. The bureau aids industry in work with ships' watches, sextants, scales, airplane instruments, radio sets, lamps, milk-testing machines, and so on. Loss from waste in industry, amounting to many millions a year, is avoided now by the bureau's work in simplified practice. In the case of hotel chitnaware alone, for example, 700 sizes and varieties were reduced to 67 by agreement among factories, dealers, and consumers. The bureau aids industry to achieve trade standards, too. Makers of many things, from locks and hinges to dress patterns and wall paper, come to it and agree that their products shall conform to certain standards. But the bureau does not impose its tests or conclusions on the people. They voluntarily bring their problems to it for aid in their solution. Other Scientific Groups In Washington, too, are located the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research council, the Carnegie institution of Washington, with its department of terrestrial magnetism and geophysical laboratory, and the National Geographic society. Certain of the national societies, in addition to the National Geographic, such as the National Education association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American chemical society, the American Forestry association, and the American Engineering council, maintain their headquarters in the nation's capital. The most extensive scientific group under one administrative head comprises the 16 bureans of the Department of Agriculture. The oldest of the governmental scientific organizations is the coast and geodetic survey. For more than a century, many a ship and crew have owed salvation to the tireless, painstaking efforts of this bureau, to which is entrusted the survey of all coasts under the jurisdiction of the United States, including rivers to the head of tidewater, deep-sea soundings and currents of our shores, as well as magnetic observations and researches. The results of such important studies appear in official sailing charts, tide tables, "notices to mariners" of floating wrecks, newly discovered rocks and other menaces to navigation. A technical library, founded a century ago, has been assembled by this survey. Its maps, photographic negatives and prints, pamphlets, and field reports from surveying parties dealing with Alaska and with our various boundary surveys, aggregate tens of thousands. When congress, in 1879, set up the geological survey, under the Department of the Interior, there was imposed on it the task of classifying all public lands, and the study of their geologic structure and mineral deposits. Through the years, to quote its former director, George Otis Smith, this has meant "helping a pioneering people to settle a vacant land, an industrial people to harness the forces of nature in the great work of development—all this with the well-defined purpose of safeguarding the future of America." As our nation grew, this survey's functions multiplied. As the west was settled, the problems of conserving water for use on arid lands became one of its tasks. In time, too, there fell to it the work of surveying forests, and studies in mining technology. When these activities became too intense, they led to the formation of separate bureaus, sometimes under other departments, such as the forest service and bureau of mines. In the same way the construction program, based on the study of reservoir sites, first made by the survey, became the work of the reclamation service when it was formed. Being among the older scientific groups in the government, this survey has thus mothered many infant bureaus, and today among its major activities are things geologic and topographic, as well as water resources, conservation, and many Alaskan explorations. Scientific Publications The official and private scientific publications issued annually from Washington make a most impressive exhibit, difficult to visualize. If typhus breaks out in Teheran, plague in Pelping, or cholera comes down the Yangtze, the United States public health service soon knows it. Our consuls in every corner of the world cable the news when certain diseases appear in foreign ports. This is so quarantine may be arranged where needed. Rats by the myriad have been gassed out of incoming ships. Hides, turs, rags, many kinds of cargo, must be fumigated abroad before shipment here. Immigrants are examined, too, in various foreign ports where medical officers of the United States public health service are stationed. The Panama canal, for example, works like a strainer on all ships coming through it bound for American ports. This finger of government, known then as the marine hospital service, was first established in 1798. Through generations it grew, till now—with its subsidiary, the National Institute of Health, at Washington—it is one of the world's foremost medical research agencies. Though at first it merely did relief work for seamen, today its manifold functions include: the protection of the United States from the introduction of disease from without; the medical examination and inspection of all arriving aliens and prospective immigrants; the prevention of interstate spread of disease and the suppression of epidemics; co-operation with state and local health authorities in public health matters; investigation of the diseases of man; the supervision and control of biologic products; public health education and dissemination of health information; the maintenance of marine hospitals and relief stations for the care and treatment of certain beneficiaries prescribed by law; the confinement and treatment of persons addicted to the use of habit-forming narcotic drugs who have committed offenses against the United States and of addicts who voluntarily submit themselves for treatment; and the providing of medical service in federal prisons. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 23. 1935. FAVOR VELVET FOR YEAR-AROUND WEAR Fabric Takes Leading Place for All Seasons. Velvet has become an acknowledged year-round product—a year-round product with different and distinctive types of the fabric for spring, summer, fall and winter, made to meet the demands of an ever-changing fashion. Last winter, the velvet nightgown marked the beginning of a day and night program. Twenty-four hours in velvet is about all one could ask. With early spring comes the velvet bathing suit, and the velvet travelling suit, thanks to vel de lux, a washable velvet and crystale, a beautiful soft mat velvet of the uncushible type. Washable velvet capes, wraps and beach clothes are in many smart report collections of clothes this season. The Regency and Directoire fashions demand small velvet jackets to complete silk, mousseuse, organdie and taffeta frocks. There is a stunning new cape, long and pointed in the back, three-quarter length, with a shorter front, which slims the figure, the effect being that of a quaint Victorian shawl. This season hats and frocks are definitely taking on velvet ribbons, velvet bows and sashes and velvet flowers. Flower toques will arrive before we are well into summer. A charming fashion is the cuff-and-hat sets made of pasted velvet posies, the cuffs made rather deep to flare midway between wrist and elbow. When the velvet mousseuses arrive in the market they are certain to excite great interest. Cool, fresh, yet rich and elegant, they will prove ideal for summer wear. SUIT SEASON By CHERIE NICHOLAS I If in doubt buy a suit, for this is going to be a big suit season and there is no question about it. Simple suit types like the one pictured are especially smart. This is a charming model of sheer black woolen the skirt of which is topped with gray and white striped taffeta. This costume is equally attractive without the swagger jacket. The high ruff about the throat invites special comment for these soft ruffled necklines are sponsored far and wide this season. Also the bell sleeves of the jacket are characteristic of the new trend. Her beret is worn bonnet fashion. You will see many of the younger set wearing them just like that. STYLE NOTES Fox-trimmed suits are smart. Gold jewelry has a new importance. White neckwear is the big idea for spring. Wide belts and huge buckles are high style. Coat dresses are shown with removable fur collars. The accent is definitely on suits of every type for spring. Diaphanous chiffon is a first choice for evening dresses. Navy Blue Stockings Are Popularized by Duchess Navy blue stockings to be worn with navy blue spring sports costumes is a fashion highlight in the new Roman stripe stockings. The duchess of Kent sponsored this fashion when she included very sheer dark blue stockings in her trousseau. Now that the new hosiery is ringless, these dark stockings look absolutely clear on the leg—like a deep transparent shadow—very flattering and a smart note of contrast. Dresses of Pigskin Are Raised by Predicted by Stylists Pigskin will not be confined to bags and shoes in the spring wardrobe, according to style predictions. It will be featured on street dresses in the form of belt and as bodice lacing. One of the most attractive frocks recently displayed was made of navy wool with beige pigskin used as a trim belt and as bodice lacing.

JACK BENNY, easy going ring master of the Sunday evening antics heard on NBC's coast-to-coast WJZ network, 700-750, E.S.T. (630-960, F.R.T.), has added new laurels to the crown he won last year when he was voted radio's top comedian in the New York World Telegram poll of 260 leading radio editors. This year he was again chosen as funnyman, and, in addition, his whole program was picked as the best on the air. "Laurels don't scratch a bit," Jack remarks. Lace manufacturers have learned the trick of working with dress manufacturers in making their lace as a fabric so that it can be cut, seamed, and finished as any other material. Chantillys have beautiful patterns and give a crisp, fresh look to dresses that is very desirable. A starched, webby lace is used for a taxi coat that promises to be a very popular item in the wardrobe of every woman this summer. It will be tremendously liked for country club wear. It is a finger-length flared coat with long raglan open sleeves, and a stand-up collar. The airiness of the lace makes it seem very cool, and the coat is a real protection to dainty frocks when riding in taxicabs or automobiles. Lace pleating for the bottom of lace evening dresses and on the little capes expresses a new and interesting note. Lace vellies are increasing in importance. The veil will surely mark the high note of the Easter bonnet for spring. Val lace dyed to match the fabric is the new item for spring. One very lovely shirt waist type of dress has tucks from neck to hem with Val lace on the edge of each tuck, and this same lace is used to edge the tailored collars and cuffs. Val laces are also seen in greater abundance on underwear than in many years past. All-over lace blouses this year are being worn with tailored suits as well as with dressier types of suits. The difference, of course, is in the type of lace used. There are new lace fabrics that are strictly tailored in their appearance and these fit in perfectly for morning wear and for the office or shopping.

All of the important couture houses in Paris featured lace and tulle and other sheer materials in their collections as outstanding fashion for this spring. The gown pictured is of the new cellophane lace, and it is in brown. Extreme sheerness together with its lovely patterning so delicately traced makes this lace which Georgette Renal has employed for the fashioning of this gracious gown more than ordinarily effective. The tiny ruffles that give pocket effects give an original touch. The same ruffling edges the skirt, the cape back and the decoletage. FLASHES FROM PARIS Many embroidered dresses are noted. New color is amber in three shades. Fans and parasols re-appear in the mode. Lace blouses are worn with spring suits. Painted or carved linoleum belts is late whim. Forward-tilted straw sailors are new and chic. Evening gowns give flowing supply lines of Grecian robes. Evening Gowns of Chiffon to Be Popular for Spring Fashions must float this spring—that is, evening fashions—which is another way of saying that sheers generally, and chiffon specifically, are scheduled for a great many costumes. Dresses are made with full, spreading skirts that create the diaphanous quality of a spring song dancer's costume, and it is not surprising that all other garments to wear with this frock should be built on the same air plan. Chiffon and gauze-like net capes and wraps, of the Mainbocher order, fill specifications perfectly. Another that is the personification of vapory fashion is the long trailing scarf of chiffon, worn laid across the throat at front, and dropped over the shoulders into twin panels of clouds that reach the hemline at back.
