HEAR! HEAR!!
The ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
Members of the Father Divine mission, E. 89th St., this city, are having a "heck of a time." Families are being broken up, etc.
Councilman Leroy Bundy has re-opened his club headquarters in Thakray Ave. and has a place, it is said, greatly outshines that of Councilman Larry Payne in the P. W. A. Annex in Central Ave. The city jobholders of the 17th and 11th Wards are still giving $2 of their meager money pay allegedly to the ward organizations. Many of them are still loudly protesting. They have the heartfelt sympathy of The Rounder.
The 18th Ward political meeting, held in Temple Baptist church, last week Wednesday evening, was addressed by Mayor Harry L. Davis, George Bender and others. The latter used language during his speech that was coarse and out of place especially in a place of religious worship, and scored Rev. David Ormond Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, because of his political background. He intended to a 17th Ward Republican meeting at Mt. Zion Cong. church, and a Payne meeting in Ward 11.
Any "Negro" who can indorse performances of that rotten play, "Stevedore," ought to have his or her head examined. The profane, obscene and blasphemous language used in the play outlaws the rotten Communistic production A fine, the use of the Neighborhood Association (E, 38th St. Playhouse), presided over by the Jellifies and supported in part as a "character building" organization by the Cleveland Community Fund, to exhibit to the public.
Policy drawings returned to E. 46th St. Sunday, one day after Municipal Judge Joseph N. Ackerman, as a result of a replevin action, returned $565 to Benny Mason, policy operator, who recently testified before the grand jury. The money had been seized by police in a raid on a Mason drawing several weeks ago. There were only about 60 cars parked near 2274 E. 46th St. From the street only 100 or so persons could be seen standing in the driveway adjacent to the house, and in the back yard, facing the garage, there could not have been more than 300 others. Seems as if Benny is the only policy operator in town. How come? Surely, there must be some "grey" operators!
Announcement has been made by Wm. R. Conners, ex. sec of the Welfare Association, E. 40th St., that organization has succeeded in placing our workers as lunch-counter attendants in the F. W. Woolworth store at E. 53d St. and Woodland Ave.
WAR NEAR!
Abyssinia Abandons Negotiations With Italy—1,400,000 Soldiers!
Rome, Italy.—Threat of war between Italy and Abyssinia over border when it was announced, last week Friday night, that Abyssinia had abandoned direct negotiations with Italy. Gen. Federico Baistroci, under secretary of war, told the Senate war may be expected at any time and that "Italy will have 600,000 men (to Abyssinia's 800,000 war) fully equipped by the end of April.
Abyssinia's ending direct negotiations brot the two countries to a
Emperor Haile Selassie.
fresh deadlock, with Abbysinia insisting on action by the League of Nations. Italy insists on resumption of direct negotiations under an Abbysinian-Italo treaty. The Glornale D'Italia said, Mar. 29, an army corps of native troops is being organized in Eritrea, Italian colony in East Africa. The corps will be comprised of 25,000 to 35,000 men. The native troops in the other country, Somaliland, will outnumber the Italian troops. Gen. Baistrochei intimated that a third division of the Italian army would be mobilized shortly and said the class of 1912, constituting 200,000 men was "on reserve." And they'll all be needed.
Charges Italy With Ambush Killing.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—The Ethiopian government, Wednesday accused the chief of an Italian frontier post at Omager, Eritrea, with ambushing and slaying an Ethiopian with whom he had negotiated for the purchase of two rifles. The statement was apparently to the Italian minister at Addis Ababa who was protesting an incident, the night of March 23, in which it was charged 300 Ethiopians crossed the Eritrean boundary, provoking a skirmish with an Italian detachment.
Doings of the Race
Richard B. Harrison left an estate valued at $20,000.
Rev. James S. Russell, age 77, founder and principal emeritus of St. Paul N. & I. School, Lawrenceville, Va., died there, March 28.
How some of our people love to exaggerate! Now they are referring to Madame C. J. Walker (deceased) as "a millionaire." In another year, they'll have her a "billionaire."
The Harlem riot resulted in the death of three white persons and the wounding of a number of others. Property damage amounted to $500,000.
Dr. Mordacai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D. C., will deliver the principal address at an Oberlin College celebration, April 11.
The "Negro" race in the South is being held back from progress by the fundamentalist teachings of the "Negro" church, according to Edward Arbor, writing in the April Crisis.
Howard Hicks (white) of near Raleigh, N. C., was sentenced to 25 to 30 years in the state penitentiary for the murder of Andrew Leach, farmer-father of eight children. They quarreled over a plow-handle.
The finance committee of the Ohio State Assembly has recommended a biennial appropriation of $600,000 for the State Department of Wilberforce University and not the university.
Father Divine is learning that the State of New York has some powers that transcend those attributed to him. He may be God to his followers but to New York he is just a religious racketeer illegally boarding a train and breaking up families, for which he must answer to the law. Do not waste your sympathy on Father Divine. If he is God, nothing can be done to him. If he is not God, something will and ought to be done to him. There are enough families being broken up without such prophets adding to the number.—New York correspondence in Pittsburgh Courier

The executive committee of the Cedar "Y" membership campaign aims to make much more than the goal of 500 members and $2,000 cash. Already, they are personally the donors of some several hundred dollars in cash, and pledges to materialize in the next few days will equal those paid. Among the cash donations were one, for $100, two for $50, one for $75, and two $25 payments on $50 pledges. Later reports in the week show another $5 gift in cash in cash for supporting memberships. Members of the executive committee are: Leland D. French, gen. chair; J. E. Wallace and Alex H. Martin.
HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY!
Ex-Senator John P. Green, the Oldest Practicing Attorney at the Local Bar, to Be Honored, Sunday Evening, at St. Andrews P. E. Church.
Tuesday was former State Senator John P. Green's 90th birthday, and he honored The Gazette with a call. Sunday, from 5 to 8 p. m., a testimonial testament him at St. Andrews P. E. Church by the congregation. All friends are invited. Make it a point to be in attendance and urge your friends and acquaint-
ances to be there also, because this community cannot honor Mr. Green enough. At ninety, he is still going strong. But a week or ten days ago, the Senator had a murder case in common pleas court. Last Sunday, on special invitation of Sheriff John M. Sulzmann, he preached for the five hundred prisoners in County Jail and was given standing-recognition from the court. He heard him, Mr. Green has always been an exceptionally fine and able speaker, and, like old wine, grows better with age.
The Plain Dealer of Wednesday had a very interesting article in which it stated the Senator had practiced law 65 years and defended 59 persons accused of murder, only one of whom was sent to the electric chair; that Mr. Green was "dean of the Colored lawyers of Greater Cleveland" when as a matter of fact he is dean of ALL the lawyers in the city. The Senator was elected a justice of the peace in 1873 here in Cleveland, an office he held for nine years. The jurisdiction of this court exceeded that of the present Municipal Court. He was a U. S. stamp agent at Washington and was acting superintendent of his department for about a year and a half.
PREACHER LYNCHED!
Believed to Have Spurred Sharecropper in the Prairies Barbaric South
Hernando, Miss.—A preacher who wore an "Every Man a King" button in his lapel and carried papers indicating he was interested in sharecropper organization work was found dead near here, Mar. 28. Sheriff Sid Campbell said he was without clews to the slaying. Of course! The body, that of Rev. T. A. Allen of Marks, Miss., was found in the shallow waters of the Coldwater river by fishermen. He had been shot thru the heart and the corpse weighted down with chains.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Of the Economic-Industrial Conference—Endorses the Social Securities Bills.
The Welfare Association, E. 40th St., closed a two-day conference, Saturday, on our economic and industrial problems. It was addressed by Lawrence A. Oxley, Eugene K. Jones, Kimball Johnson, Geo. K. Washington, Elizabeth Margee, Florence Nelson, Judge Bradley Hull and others.
Its sessions were held in Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church and at the P. W. A. M. Wight, chairman of
the findings committee, made its report, Saturday afternoon, and the conference went on record as recommending the organization of our workers for consideration of their problems; the re-establishment of our National Business league; encouraging our youth to secure training for skilled industrial and business enterprises; encouraging the establishment of businesses; urging businesses to engage legitimate businesses and to work in the elimination of illegitimate businesses in the community; encouraging our youth to secure government positions based on the merit system; the passage of the social securities bills now pending in Congress, and condemning political interference in the administration of already enacted labor legislation. The conference further went on record as recommending that the U. S. Department of Labor call a conference with the Cleveland Federation of Labor and the Contractors Association to secure for our skilled, professional, and semi-skilled workers their just share of employment on all government projects. Secretary Connors said the recommendations of the conference would become a part of the program of the conference, which sponsored the conference, and that similar conferences would be announced in the near future. Serving with Mr. Wight on the findings committee were: Hortense M. Davis, Rev. H. W. Evans, Frank C. Lyons, John W. Love, John Thurber, W. O. Walker and Virginia Houston.
54 C. C. C. Camp Advisors.
Washington, D. C.—In a sweeping order almost doubling the present number, twenty-four Afro-American educational advisors were appointed, last week, by the U. S. Office of Education for service in the Civilian Conservation Corps. This brings the total number of our Educational Advisors assigned to CCC camps, in the Emergency Conservation Work organization headed by Robert Fechner, to fifty-four.

Now that the U. S. Supreme Court has upheld the Texas primary vote bar maybe the NAACP will find time and money to fight southern disfranchisement.
The Columbus residential color-line court decision can be knocked out by carrying the case to the U. S. Supreme Court. That court's "Warley" decision, of some years ago, covers this case.
Speaking of the U. S. Supreme court's "Scottsboro" decision, the first of the week, The Cleveland Daily News said and very pertinently, too: "The nation must rejoice that a section of the country, which holds local custom and prejudice superior to constitutional rights, has been brought to time."
Thanks! Editor Earl Martin.
The U. S. Senate judiciary committee declaration that the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill now pending in Congress is constitutional won't mean a thing to the U. S. Supreme Court if as a law it ever reaches that August body. There is, however, no likelihood of its ever becoming a law with the majority membership of both houses of the Congress made up of "southern crackers" (Democrats).
P. Portuondo Cala of Havana, on the staff of "El País," said to be "the newspaper of largest circulation in Cuba," announces the publication of a well illustrated book which will cover the activities of the Afro-Cuban in that country's different wars for independence, and "his hopes, social and cultural, progress in his native land." This work is to be presented to a convention of Afro-Cuban associations soon to be convened in Havana. Mr. Cala writes that he "will appreciate very much any correspondence sent to his P. O. Box $36, Havana, Cuba, by persons "desirous of knowing more of the details."
We have had no less than a dozen surveys and housing investigations of Cleveland's 11th, 12th and 17th Wards in the last 15 or 20 years with absolutely no encouraging results. There is no reason to expect anything worthwhile from the latest "housing investigation" of the "condition of the living quarters" in the section referred to which the mayor has requested his director of public safety to make. It has not been so many months ago that government representatives interested in the housing scheme, being put over in the Cedar-Central area, thoroly investigated the section of the city bounded by Cedar and Woodland Aves, and E. 22d and E. 30th Sts., a very large portion of the 11th and 12th Wards. The housing condition existing east of E. 30th St. in the 11th, 12th and 17th Wards does not differ from that which exists in the section bounded by the avenues and streets mentioned.
"MR. NEGRO" TO BLAME.
"There was a time when most of the barbering for white people was done by Negroes, when the largest catering establishment were run by Negroes, when most of the domestic body were Negroes. But today this is not so, and most of this business has passed from Negroes not so much from inefficiency as propaganda would have us believe but thru prejudices."—President R. R. Wright, Jr., of Wilberforce University.
Mr. Wright has stated a condition that existed here in Cleveland, but is decidedly wrong, as far as this city is concerned, when he says that the ground lost has passed not so much from inefficiency as thru prejudice. In most of the cases here "inefficiency" was not the cause of the loss. Time was (prior to the influx from the South in 1917 and since) that practically all of the domestic help in the suburbs of Cleveland, generally referred to as "The Heights," were "Negroes." But few remain. Prejudice was NOT the cause of the dismissal of the great majority of them. In the case of the barbering, catering and other business enterprises
here, "Negroes" failed to keep abreast of the times, some as the result of inefficiency and others because of a lack of funds.
AMERICA MUST CHOOSE.
The day is fast approaching when the great masses of Americans, speaking thru elected public officials, must make an important choice. Two questions await to be decided, as follows:
"Will we seek a return of prosperity and the return of millions to private employment thru the stimulation of business by following sound principles?" or "Will we continue to delay recovery while using the depression to push thru social reforms which may or may not aid the country over a period of years?"
There is a widespread agreement today among those who study trade trends that recovery is ours for the taking. Business barometers point upward. But while business seeks to push ahead it finds artificial obstacles in the way. Muddle-headed legislation is pressed in Congress, legislation which even its sponsors do not content is immediately necessary to aid recovery. They merely think that now is the time to get their theories thru. Organized minorities make arbitrary demands without that of the effects upon other sections of the country. They give Congress the jitters and these shakes are quickly communicated to the country, with a resultant slowing down of business. The veterans ask for their bonus. The aged folk ask for the Townsend hill. The Huey Long followers want to share the wealth. A few labor leaders want power to unionize all workers and collect dues. Another group wants a legislated 30-hour work week for industrial workers while farmers work from "can't see to can't see." These demands come from outside. From inside the Administration come further demands for social reforms—unemployment insurance, elimination of holding companies, and the like. It is unfortunate that Congress had to meet at this time and face these clamorous demands, any one of which might, well halt the march toward recovery. The answer is that the sooner Congress enacts necessary legislation—measures designed strictly to speed recovery for city dwellers and farmers—and departs homeward, the sooner the idle will be re-employed.
SCOTTSBORO
For the second time, the U. S. Supreme Court on Monday set aside death sentences imposed upon Clarence Norris and Haywood Patterson, two of the Scottsboro boy-victims of Alabama prejudice, injustice and viciousness. Chief Justice Hughes delivered the opinion, saying that the court's decision rested upon the fact that Afro-Americans were excluded from jury service in that state which automatically deprives them of equal protection of the laws of Alabama and thus invalidates the court's proceedings in the boys' cases. While this decision is good news and welcome, it does not indicate any advance in the cases of the Scottsboro boy-victims. For a second time it gives Haywood Patterson and Clarence Norris new trials, something they have had. There is no indication that a second "new trial" (in Alabama) for either of the boys will result any different from that of the first "new trial." If the U. S. Supreme Court has the power to order the discharge of the boy-victims, it ought to have used it, this time. The treatment they have received since their arrest on framed charges, the long incarceration and mistreatment in southern jails, amounts to a crime. It is a shame and a disgrace to the so-called justice meted out, to native born citizens, in this country.
Before ELECTRICITY became a MESSENGER
Fire was early adopted as a means of sending messages by night. A flaming branch, waved about the head, became the forerunner of complicated systems of signaling with torches. An arrow, dipped in pitch, ignited and shot into the air, was the first step toward modern rocket signals. The campfire itself, used originally for warmth only, led the way for the development of far-reaching systems of beacons:
The lantern hung in the tower of Old North Church, Boston, as a warning to Paul Revere, is one of the classic examples which American history affords of the use of lights for signaling at night.
Beacon fires are said to have carried the news of the fall of Troy to Argos. They helped to provide the communication that gave solidarity to the vast Roman Empire. They were used extensively by the Gauls.
One of the most dramatic records in communication history tells how the news of the sighting of the Spanish Armada, in 1588, was flashed, from hill to hill and to town, from London and other parts of England by means of flaming beacons. (To Be Continued)

SOUNDING WAR DRUMS
Cleveland, Mar. 22, '35.
Mr. Paul Bellamy,
Editor, The Plain Dealer,
City.
In the Plain Dealer editorial, "Is
The Cost Counted." March 20, '35,
speaking of the Ethiopian-Italian
controversy, appears the following
paragraph:
"Peace, after all, Il Duce was
not dreaming of conquest. Perhaps
he wished merely to scare the Abyssinians. If this was his aim, he has
already succeeded. Abyssinia is well
scared, and will grant anything with
in reason and even beyond reason."
In the same paper appeared a dispatch from Rome, Italy, under date,
March 19, '35, which read as follows:
"Italy was reported today to have
urged Abyssinia (Ethiopia) again to
continue direct negotiations on the
border dispute in Africa in order to
facilitate progress." Italian consuls
would have reported to Rome that the war drums are beingounded throut northern Abyssinia as a signal for general mobilization of the tribesmen."
There is no indication in the foregoing that "Abyssinia is well scared and will grant anything within reason and even a little beyond reason." The Abyssinians are brave, have a standing army of over 80,000 picked warriors and can mobilize 800,000 militants, and have actually since their last contest with that country was won by them. As the Plain Dealer editorial points out, the country (Abyssinia or "Ethiopia") "is guarded by nature as is no other country on the face of the earth." It is practically impregnable. Both Abyssinians and Italians of course know this. Abyssinians do not fear Italy and are preparing to attack the country and have musolini's "Opera Boufe" with that country is at an end and he is "hurting Abyssinia again to continue direct negotiations (discontinued on March 16, '35) in order to facilitate progress." And he is wise in doing, as the Plain Dealer editorial referred to makes perfectly clear. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette.
HAMILTON FISH, JR.
Announced as a Republican Candidate for President—An Officer in the New York Post-American Regiment during the World War.
Washington, D. C.—The hat of Representative Hamilton Hamilton Jr., of New York, rests in the 1936 presidential ring after being tossed into the water. In 1936, Knutson, fellow Republican, from Minnesota, Recently, Hamilton, one of
Col. Hamilton Fish.
the New Deal's most persistent critics, told the country its salvation lay in electing a Republican to the White House in 1936. "He would appeal to agriculture, to the younger element and likewise to conservative and liberal, in that he stands for constitutional government and yet believes in keeping abreast of the times," said Knutson in a statement. "While Mr. Fish is from the east, he would have a very strong appeal to the west because of his well-known liberal views and record in Congress. "I know of no one who has a broad appeal to Fish and with him our standard bearer in 1936, I am satisfied we can sweep the country." Knutson's statement added: "I am convinced that the next Republican candidate for president must come from either the House or the Senate, as the Republican policies will be formulated there."
TO HALT SERVICE
Phone Calls Go Through as New Carlisle Exchange Gets Face Lifted
While calls were flowing through its telephone switchboard without a hitch, New Castle's telephone office underwent a face lifting, which almost amounted to the construction of a new structure around the operating quarters. The old two-story structure was reduced to one, a new roof, siding and a floor were installed and telephone service went on as though nothing was happening. In addition to the exterior work, the interior of the office was completely redecorated, adding to its appearance and utility.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio supreme court annexed 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 northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or perpetuating to危害 national 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 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. 161 1.)
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 such injury result in persecution 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, the widow receiving 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 right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (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 occur may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person. In the event of a serious injury 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 to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
The General Code of Obio:
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 or imprisoned not less than 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 no more than fifty dollars nor more than five dollars to the per person aggrieved thereby, 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.

ASSASSIN
A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called bashash in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

Levels Wins.
Jesse Levels of this city, a Chicago golden gloves champion, outpointed Bernard Reitman in the Chicago state championship Friday night. It was a hot contest.
Breaks Canadian Record.
Toronto, Canada. — Eulace Peacock, Temple University, elapsed all Canadian broad jump records when he cleared 24 feet 8½ inches, a week ago last Friday. There was no recognized indoor record for this event but Jesse Owens holds the outdoor mark of 24 feet 7½ inches.
Owens' Last Indoor Meet
Columbus, O.—Jess Owens, after several invasions of the east, went west, yesterday, to compete in a special 60-yard dash at the St. Louis relays, last night. In this race, he was matched against Hall of Kansas and Owen of Iowa. It is Owens' last indoor meet for this season.
Owens to Forsake Outdoor Hurdles.
Jess Owens will not run the hurdle events in the coming outdoor season, it has been announced by his team, and concentrate on the 100 and 220-yard dashes and the broad jump. It is believed that the exclusion of hurdles will be of great benefit to him. Jess will make his last indoor appearance of the season, tonight, when he runs in a special 50-yard race at the St. Louis relays.
Louis Drops Brown.
Brown, Joe Louis, ages 20, the Detroit sensation, headed for the heavyweight pugilistic title when he defeated Natie Brown, capturing every one of the ten rounds at the Olympia, last week Friday night. Brown had fought 16 battles during the past year and lost none, two being draws. Louis won all 16 of his contests. Included in the 16 victories are 13 knock-outs. This record and his defeat of Brown have made him the most trodden of fighter in the most trodden of Louis Rohr Brown's Louis' guardian, and Jack Blackburn, one of the shrewdest of our old time boxers, have brot Louis along carefully. Jack styles "Just a natural born fighter." Even so, it is a mistake to put the young fighter in the ring with the giant and experienced pugilist, Primo Cararner, in June or any other month of this year because the lad needs more experience. They are pushing him too hard, and the pounds, came out of the fight with Brown unmarked but the latter had cuts over both eyes and was badly beaten. Brown told newspaper man:
Better Than Schmeling.
"I was a sparring partner of Max Schmeling when the German was at a similar stage in his career. Louis is a better fighter now than Schmeling was then. It's almost impossible to keep Louis away from you. He's a cutting, punishing hitter. He has been on the back when I tried to get away from him. I bled internally after the fight." Nat Fleischer, editor of the Ring, a widely circulated boxing magazine, said he was convinced that Louis is better than Schmeling right now. Fleischer commented: "I haven't seen such a fine heavyweight prospect in years and years. He boxes better than Schmeling. He hits as hard as Schmeling the first time, but with his right. And he's bigger, stronger and faster than Schmeling. I'm convinced I looked at the next world's champion."
Priest Blames Communists.
New York City.—The restraint of our residents of Harlem during the riot of March 19, was highly praised by the Rev. Wm. McCann, pastor of the Church of St. Charles Borromeo, W. 141st St., in a letter sent to all of his parishioners a few days after the trouble. Just one percent of our people of Harlem took part in the riot, out of 300,000. Father McCann could not compile for the riot directly on the shoulders of white Communists who quickly took advantage of an unusual train of very usual happenings. The Church of St. Charles Borromeo is located in the heart of Harlem.

World War Changed
Many Flags
Making Flags for United States Army.
Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
FLAGS refuse the military command "As you were!" Since the World war, more changes have been made in the flags of civilization than in any other period of like duration.
Such ancient countries as Afghanistan and China have adopted new flags, while recent-born Manchukuo has advanced a claim to a place in the family of nations and established a flag in accordance with that claim.
Even in such settled governments as those of the United States and the British empire there have been many changes in the flags secondary to Old Glory in the one and to the Union flag in the other.
Practically all of the United States military flags that shared the battlefields with the national standard, whether colors of infantry regiments, standards of mounted troops, or the command flags of ranking officers, have joined the ranks of the obsolete. The War department, wishing to have its whole series of flags designed in harmony and in keeping with the finest standards of heraldry, has almost entirely remade that part of the army regulations prescribing the designs and colors of the army's flags.
State Flags Changed.
Fourteen states of the Union have changed their flags entirely, by legislative action; in eighteen other states the vagaries of embroidering designs upon flags have left their imprint in such a way as to create change by usage.
It has been said that flags were divinely ordained; that when Jehovah made his covenant with mankind that all flesh should never again be destroyed by a flood he sealed the pledge by unfurling across the heavens the great banner of the ages—the rainbow itself.
From that time forward men in turn have lifted up standards, emblems, and colors around which they have kindled their fires of patriotism, developed their sense of loyalty to one another, and bound themselves together with ties of nationality.
The people of Israel had their standards. We read in Numbers: "And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Every man of the Children of Israel shall pitch (his tent) by his own standard with the ensign of their father's house."
As far back as 800 B. C. the Persians revolted against the tyranny of a despotic ruler. It was a good blacksmith by the name of Kohan who led the cause and his apron became the standard of the revolt.
At the time of Cyrus the Persians used a white flag on which was a gold-enagle. The Roman republic borrowed its silver eagle, holding in its talons the thunderbolts of Jove, from the Etruscans. Augustus lifted high a globe to commemorate his conquest of the earth. Constantine adopted the Cross to signalize his vision.
In Ancient Times.
The early Greeks had a piece of armor on a spear; the Athenians used the olive and the owl as their emblem, and the Thebans lifted aloft a sphinx.
The efforts of the people of America to express their sentiments in flags constitute one of the romances of our history.
As the rising tide of resentment against British rule swept the colonies, the faith of the people and their attitudes burgeoned forth on their flags. New England's protest was against the illegal acts of the British ministry. It believed those acts would be repudiated by the king when he realized the injustice being done to his subjects in the colonies. Therefore, Massachusetts petitioned the king to restore her rights, opening her statement of grievances with the phrase "Appealing to Heaven for the justice of our Cause." The expression caught the imagination of the people; the pine tree became their symbol and "An Appeal to Heaven" their motto.
Virginia-born George Washington complimented the New England spirit by suggesting the pine-tree flag and its motto for his cruisers, a series of schooners transferred from the merchant fleet to aid the army around Boston.
The southern colonies were in a mood of defiance rather than of appeal to God and Justice, and the rattlesnake became the expression of their attitude toward the home government. "Don't Tread on Me" was the warning command on most of the rattlesnake flags.
But as war stepped in and drove peace away, most of the leaders hoped to be able to show the king that theirs
was not a war on him but a war only against what they considered the unlawful acts of the ministry. General Washington himself was careful to emphasize in all his early utterances as commander in chief that it was a war against the ministry and not against the sovereign. Deep concern, therefore, was felt that a flag should be made that would proclaim at once loyalty to the crown and resentment against the ministry.
When General Washington took command of the Continental army at Cambridge, he found that the divided loyalties of many flags made it essential to a hope of victory that the colonial units under him should be forged into one organization with a united outlook and continental loyalty. His orders, reports, and letters from that time forward contained many references to the difficulties encountered in building up an army that would acknowledge a single flag, and in combating the wranglings and rivalries in his existing force. He reported to the Continental congress that he found a widespread unwillingness of officers of one colony to serve with troops of 'another.
Washington Anxious.
General Washington looked forward with eagerness to the first day of January, 1776, for it was on that day that his old army with all of its conflicts, was to pass out of existence, and the new one, which he hoped would be free of the weaknesses of its predecessor, was to come into being.
But the last month preceding the transformation was one of utter anxiety for the commander in chief. On November 28, 1775, he wrote his military secretary that he "sould not be at all surprised at any disaster that may happen," and added, "Could I have forseen what I have, and am likely to experience, no consideration upon earth should have induced me to accept this command. A regiment or any subordinate department would have been accompanied with ten times the satisfaction, and perhaps the honor."
However, there was much hard work included in this period of anxiety. Among the things to be done was to provide a flag which should at once be expressive of the union of the thirteen colonies in a single purpose and of the hope of those colonies that reconciliation still remained possible. The Grand Union flag, with its old British jack in the canton and its thirteen red and white stripes for its fly, was the outcome of the efforts made to find such a banner.
Historians have searched in vain for the slightest inkling of its designer or the authority under which it was established. Some have represented that a congress committee which visited Boston considered and authorized it, but a thorough search of the reports of this committee and the correspondence of those who constituted it fails to reveal any action or consideration by this committee.
Our first view of this flag was when it was hoisted above the Alfred, the flagship of the Congress navy, lying in the Delaware river on December 3, 1775.
We get the fact of this significant event from no less an authority than John Paul Jones himself. He was at that time the senior lieutenant of the American navy and was attached to the Alfred, the flagship of the fleet, his position corresponding to that of executive officer in the navy today. In a letter to Robert Morris, Jones declared: "It was by fortune, as the senior of the Lieutenants, to holist myself the Flag of America the first time it was displayed. Though this was but a slight Circumstance, yet I feel for its Honor, more than I think I should have done, if it had not happened."
Jones failed to give the date of that raising of the flag, but not so a loyalist reporting on the earl of Dartmouth, Writing on December 20, 1775, the earl's correspondent advises: "An admiral is appointed, a court established, and the third instant, the Continental flag on board the Black Prince opposite Philadelphia was holested." On December 12, a British spy at Philadelphia reported that "the commodore who commands this fleet comes from Rhode Island, his name is Hopkins." How long the Grand Union flag was flown has never been definitely established, but the official records of the navy fail to show that any other ensign was in use until after the resolution creating the Stars and Stripes was adopted by the congress. It was not until June 14, 1777, nearly a full year after the Declaration of Independence, that the Continental congress took action substituting the Stars and Stripes for the Grand Union flag.

Millinery Stages Varied Program
BY GRETA WOODS
SUCH a bewildering variety of headgear as fashion offers this season! There is positively no excuse for not being becoming natted this spring and summer, for it "would seem that every known type with a few extras thrown in is answering "present" to the roll call in current millinery showings. Bonnets! The millinery shops are full of 'em. Every sort of bonnet is represented in the new hat collections ranging from ingenee types to the sophisticated eye-impelling bonnets of Regency period inspiration.
A fine thing about a bonnet is that it shows up the new "bangs" to perfection. The taffeta trimmed bonnet to the upper right in the picture demonstrates this point to a nicety. The big bow at the throat is of self same taffeta as the bow on the bonnet. Milliners are all enthusiasm over the taffeta (plain or plaided) neck-bow and hat "sets" which are selling at first sight. The bonnet to the left is gentle and youthful with flowers and ribbon which make it utterly feminine.
It may be that the voguish pill-box turban goes best with your features. This pert little style of headgear sure gives an up-and-going look to any spring outfit. Atop the curly-curly coiffures hairdressers are now advocating, a pill-box hat declares convincing chic. The model centered below in the group is the perfect complement to a black crepe dress. It is of the modish black basket weave shiny straw, has two little black bows and faunts an eyeline vell as most of these diminutive hats.
A fashion which is breathtaking in
SHOW WIDE VARIETY IN SPRING PRINTS
To the woman who thinks of summer in terms of printed fabrics the new season will provide a perfect orgy. The dresses shown in downtown stores are typical of the new printed fabrics. Many motifs are much less widely spaced than in other springs.
The animal motifs, especially the Scottie print, are here. Break it gently that nutty prints are also in the shops. The designs are taken from photographic studies of nuts, and are very effective. Why not? There's a new porcelain clay process which produces the deadest white imaginable and in spite of a great furor over color, this clay-white print is greatly admired. A swing about the shops confirms the report that more prints have been shown this year than last. Certainly, there are more stripes, checks and plaids; and they are often printed. Stripes are just another of the regency touches that seem so desirable at the moment.
Irish Linen Expected to
Be Favorite Next Summer
Irish linen has come to the fore as the leading fabric in the Paris fashion picture. Cables from the French capital promise that next spring and summer women will be wearing suits, dresses, hats, shoes, bags and even lingerie of fine Irish linen.
The fact that linen used to crush badly was responsible for its not having been more universally used before. It was always an ideal summer fabric, porous and cool, yet strong and long-wearing. Now Irish linen has been specifically processed, so that the linens which will be imported for next summer's fashions are as nearly uncrushable as any fabric.
Parasols Come Back
Tiny and colorful parasols made of synthetic straw silk with yard-long handles appear with spring sports and street afternoon clothes.
novelty and daring is the forward-move brim. Narrow at the sides is this type with a startling forward streamline sweep of the brim. To interpret the very quintessence of chic it must be tilted at a raikish angle down over the eyes. The smartness of these forward-brim hats is added unto with novel crown effects achieved via plains and folds, eccentric peaks and spiral drapes often surmounted with amusing feather fancies or perky ribbon coarcades. Two models of this suggestion are Illustrated below in the picture. The felt to the left is olive green with black and olive feather fancy. The finest of ballybunti straw in navy blue fashions the hat to the right. It has the new down-in-front and app-up-back design. The model拥拥 above is a variation of the popular breton sailor. It is very youthful, made of navy taffeta, for you must know that millinery is yielding unreservedly to the taffeta craze which is now on. The pompon is of navy and white ostrich.
If you register in the sailor-conscious sorority it will be worth your while to tour the shops and see what's doing in the way of nifty exponents of this type. In Paris the low crowned sailor of shiny black straw is a big favorite. To wear the new sailors properly they must be saucy tilted over the eyes, with a veil to complete the picture. Loyal to the beret are you? Well, fashion is willing, providing a very new look is achieved via a subtle drape or a topknot trim or a use of a novel fabric combination and always a little veil for the sake of chic. A matching scarf also adds a voguish note.

THE LADY
Here is a lovely coat to wear to parties. When summer comes it will be just the thing to top your dainty lingerie frocks. It is smart and practical for resort year at any time of the year. Quilted crystelle velvet fashions it, and if you have the proper color urge you will select it in some one or other of the very new medium palet tones. A big rhinstone pin adds chic worn on the scarf.
Novelty Dress Clasp
Interlocking gold rings form an interesting type of clasp to fasten a wool tunic.
