WILBERFORCE.—"Human Values" was the subject of Dr. Percy L. Julian, well known chemist, who spoke on the annual Col. Charles Young's memorial program given by the Upsilon Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Sunday night. Dr. Julian, in his usual characteristic and scholarly way, developed his subject, climaxing it by appealing to the body to the mind, mind to the body to preserve, encourage, help and find the talents of the race and not kill or destroy them. He is professor of research chemistry at DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind., the first of the race to be a member of the faculty of a white college. He received his A.M. at DePauw, his master's degree at Harvard, and his Ph.D. (in chemistry) at DePauw. He is a holder of the Phi Beta key and has written several papers on chemistry which have been published in the Journal of the American Chemical society.

JACKSON 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 (?) thing for the Neighborhood Association (E. 38th St. Playhouse), presided over by the Jelliflies and supported in part as a "character building" organization by the Cleveland Community Fund, to exhibit to the public. A delegation of about a dozen of his constituents called on Councilman John E. Hubbard, late Monday afternoon, and demanded that he quit dodging between Rev. David O. Walker and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Bryant in the Bryant gasoline station controversy, and the HELP the Bryants and not continue to help Walker wipe out that race business enterprise. Hubbard did not say he would do this. Therefore, a big fight on his re-election to City Council, this fall, is to be led by the Bryants' close friends and other supporters. The Rounder was informed, Wednesday. They have decided on the person to oppose him. Several weeks ago it was openly charged that one of our local ministers double-crossed our 'Ministers' Alliance and Baptist Ministers' Conference by attending their meetings and then rushing to Russell W. Jelliffe at the E. 38th St. Playhouse to inform him of their contemplated action against that rotten play, "Stevedore," which he and his wife were sponsoring at the Karamu Theater, a connection of the Playhouse, or the Neighborhood Association" as the minister of education, stated The Rounder wonders if either of the Ministers' organizations have investigated this rumor or charge? It ought to be because subsequent developments indicated only too plainly the fact that there was "more truth than poetry" in the rumor-charge. A "filibuster of motions" was attempted, Monday night, by Councilman Payne, Finkle, Bundy and Hubbard to prevent the passage of legislation to vacate city streets in the Cedar-Central area. They wanted the vacation held up until the federal government assures that there will be no color-line or segregation in the city, or organizing facilities. They put motions to postpone action a week, to postpone it indefinitely, to re-refer the vacation legislation to a Council committee, to postpone for two weeks, and to adjourn. All were defeated, and the legislation adopted. Councilman Finkle said he would immediately introduce a repealer, which according to the repealer, would place a cloud on the title to part of the slum clearance site. A good thing! Councilman Finkle on Wednesday carried out his threat to file a "repealer" ordinance to block completion of the Cedar-Central area. His ordinance, filed with the city clerk, would repeal the four ordinances passed, Monday night. Law Director Ezra Shapiro expects it to be decisively beaten in Council. A campaign to make the Woodhill swimming pool safe for our people has been started in Mt. Pleasant. Finite! The neighborhood committee, conducting the campaign, is calling a conference for Sunday at 3 p. m. at Mt. Pleasant M.

Jackson and Charlie White, to at- --- ETHIOPIAN TROOPS MARCH TO FRONTIER "No War," the Emperor Announces, But Armies Are on the Move Just the Same. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia, N. Africa. —Ethiopian soldiers, marching along dusty roads, Saturday, to the border was Emperor Haile Selassie's answer to Italy's concentration of troops on the other side of the border in Italy's African territory. "The king of Emperor Haile Selassie. kings, the conquering lion of Judah and the descendant of the Queen of Sheba" summed up to the interviewer as follows: "We have tried to negotiate directly with Italy, or through an intermediary. Unfortunately Italy has declined arbitration and has not replied to our proposals. Therefore we have broken on negotiations and submitted our proposals. While the African emperor returned an emphatic no to an inquiry as to whether war already existed with Italy, an Ethiopian army, authoritatively said to number 100,000 men, well equipped, well armed and well supplied, was moving toward the frontiers at Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. Ethiopia has no intention of undertaking an offensive, but the entire country is rallying obediently because the emperor has ordered those forces to continue units, withdraw from the Ogaden Desert and the Uralal sector because of intense heat. Unlike the Ethiopian armies of 1896, which crushingly defeated an Italian invading force, the present-day soldiers make use of modern equipment. Wireless and airplanes have been used to trust to runners, while rifles and machine guns have replaced sabers and swords. For many years, the best Belgian and German officers have been employed to train the great Ethiopian army. A German officer in the Ethiopian army of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) for about twenty years.

Mrs. Elizabeth D. Garner, 12814 Imperial Ave. secretary of the committee, writes: "Do not forget the time and place, Sunday, 3 p. m., at Mt. Pleasant M. E. church, located on Abell Ave. at the corner of E. 128th St., Rev. Wm. McMorries pastor." The Rounder cannot praise this "neighborhood committee" enough. More power to it! Councilman John E. Hubbard's talk at St. James Forum, Sunday afternoon, on "A Councilman's Duty to His Constituents" was a great disappointment, the speaker seemingly forgetting his text and saying very little, if anything, about anything else. Next Sunday, the Forum's scheduled speaker is Russell Jelliffe of the Neighborhood Association, better known as E 38th St. Playhouse Settlement, who will undoubtedly undertake to justify his sponsoring that profane, obscene and blasphemous play, "Stevedore," which was roundly denounced by our Ministers' Alliance and Baptist Ministers' Conference, several weeks ago, and the performances of which he continued in the face of bitter protests of our ministers and others in this community. The rotten play in the language of the language referred to included the veal insulting references: "Coon," "nigger-lover," "it was a nigger," "good niggers and bad niggers" (the word "nigger" used many times) and others too vile for publication. The "artistic" phase of the performance he prated so much about, and what was sought to be accomplished by the presentation of the rotten play, "Stevedore," are not relevant when its rotten language is considered. Nothing will excuse it or him and Mrs. Jelliffe for sponsoring the rotten play. Tell him so, Sunday afternoon, at No. Neighborhood Association" playhouse settlement posing as a "character-building" organization should be tolerated in this community that has the temerity to sponsor so insulting and vile a play as the rotten Communist output, "Stevedore." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS My dear Mr. Smith:—You are right, in The Gazette editorial of April 6th entitled, "Mr. Negro to Blame." There was a time when Negroes controlled 90 per cent of the barbering business, but as new gadgets were invented he would not modernize his shop, sticking to the old tea kettle and stove. Now that great trade is lost to him. When automobiles first came into use, he was the only one hired to manipulate the high-end market at that early date. All domestic help in those good old days were Negroes with the exception of the gardeners. Good cooks were receiving a $15 per week minimum. Hotels employed Negro headwaiters, and their staffs. All the kitchen help, bell boys, porters, etc., were Negroes. Negro orchestras, musicians and entertainers were not numerous enough to supply the demand for their products. The Pacific R. R. was built the Negro had the first opportunity at that industry along the whole Pacific coast, but thru his own folly "ruled himself out of the picture," and now Mexicans are migrated for that great industry. When wages were $1 per day and less over the entire country, Negroes in the Pittsburgh valley were receiving $5 to $8 per day for pulling coke and working in the pudding mills and coal-mines of Pennsylvania, and machines were operated by Negroes. The superintendent of one of the country's biggest rolling mills was a Negro and his Negro rollers were receiving as high as $20 per day. Negroes built the roads, paved the streets, my father being superintendent for one of the largest contractors in the country. He is still a superintendent. All buildings were a superintendent. All buildings receiving more than a just share of sub-contracting. A survey and a just analysis of the record will show as you say, "Mr. Negro to Blame." "MR. NEGRO TO BLAME."

Tuesday evening saw the close of the intensive drive to get 500 new members and $2,000 cash for Cedar Branch "Y." The cash goal was exceeded by $189.50. There was a jollification gathering, Tuesday evening, which was participated in by the members of the executive committee, team captains and others including Director R. B. DeFrantz, John Butler, ex. sec. of the Spring St. "Y." Columbus; a Miss Freeland, Jessica Hopson, Thomas, Alexander and Howard, Colin, Thomas, R. P. McClain of Cincinnati, our only member of the Ohio legislature. Those named were the out-of-town speakers. Local speakers included A. H. Martin, A. J. Knebel, ex. sec. of the Cleveland YMCA; Miss Jane Hunter, Mrs. A. H. Martin, Chairman French, Capt. Chas, E. Frye, Mr. Worthington and others. All were very happy over the successful outcome of the drive, particularly because Chairman French and Director DeFrantz had announced, without qualification, that the status of the Cedar Branch is as an inter-institutional institution "NOT to be changed and that there is no intention to make of it a SEGREGATE institution for our people. It was on this assurance that the editor of The Gazette gave his five dollar membership fee. The Executive Committee. Left to right: Leland D, French Dr. J, E. Wallace, Dr. James A Owen, R.

SENATOR GREEN HONORED At a Most Pleasing Testimonial at St. Andrews P. E. Church, Sunday Evening—The Speakers. The testimonial tea given, Sunday evening, at St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal church in honor of Senator John P. (Greenfield) of the 90th birthday, which was April 2, was an outstanding affair, both in point of attendance and attendants—so many of our older residents being present. The program was in charge of W. T. Hughes, treasurer of St. Andrews, who opened it with interesting resume of the life of the Senator. He was followed by Father G. H. Trickr, rector of St. John P. Green A. B. Andrews church. An anthem by the choir, directed by Mr. Hubert Corina, followed. Then came interesting talks by Judges Silbert and Baer of the Common Pleas court, the editor of The Gazette, A. H. Martin, representing Mt. Zion Cong. church, S. C. Glenn the Harlem club; and S. A. Glenn the Harlem club. The editor of "Col." Sidney B. Thompson read a letter of felicitation, sent by Father Kenney, priest in charge of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church. Remarks by Byron Douglas, Geneve Harliee, Hyden Wade, representing respectively the vestry, Girls Friendly society and Men's Club of the church. Next was a presentation of flowers from the McLeod Flower Shop, and a useful and valuable gift by Mrs. Annette J. Meredith, representing St. Andrews Altar Guild. Then came Senator John P. Green's response, exceptionally interesting and full of reminiscence. The following composed a letter of condolence of arrangements: Mrs. Annett; Meredith, chair; Mrs. Edena Banks, Clayborne George; Elizabeth Leatherman, Arthur S. Scott, Elizabeth Gordon, Amelia McNaughton, Leroy Cooper, Leroy Price, W. T. Hughes and Miranda L. Cheeks, Mrs. Meredith is entitled to a great deal of praise for inaugurating and sponsoring the testimonial tea. TUSKEGEE'S NEW 'PREXY' ONLY 34.

Atlanta, Ga.—Miss Mary Emma Woolley, president of Mt. Holkyote college since 1900 and an outstanding leader in education and human rights, delivered the annual Founders Day address at Spelman college, Thursday. Miss Woolley was recently named in a nation-wide poll as one of the twelve greatest American women in the last 100 years. The celebration of the 54th anniversary of the founding of Spelman college, the first institution of collegiate rank for our women, began Wednesday week. The college was named in honor of Mrs. Mrs. Rockefeller, Sr. (deceased), years ago a public school teacher in Cleveland, Ohio, where Mr. Rockefeller, Sr. got his start in business.

SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1935. Wonder why Mark J. Grossman, chairman of the CCRA board, failed to find a member of the race to appoint to his enlarged project advisory committee? He has given representation on this committee to about every other race in this community. The Cleveland Daily Press of last week Thursday had a short but a very pleasing editorial congratulating Senator John P. Green on reaching his 90th birthday, concluding it with, the following: "We hope he can keep on 'going strong' for many years to come." Indicative of sentiment against NRA in Congress are the statements of five Democratic senators from along the Atlantic seaboard. While Republicans have been quiescent, Senators Tydings of Maryland, Byrd and Glass of Virginia, Balley of North Carolina, and George of Georgia, all Democrats, have lambasted various sections of the New Deal. Mrs. Annette J. Meredith, who sponsored "the testimonial tea" given in honor of Senator John P. Green, Sunday evening, at St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal church, is entitled to a great deal of credit, for the affair was exceptional in several ways. It brot together a goodly number of our oldest residents and afforded all an opportunity to note the power as a public speaker still possessed by the Senator who was 90 years of age, last week Tuesday. Mr. Leland D. French, chairman of the Cedar Branch "Y" drive executive committee, and R. B. DeFranz of New York City, who was sent here to direct the drive, called on the editor of The Gazette, Tuesday afternoon, soliciting our membership and assured us that there was no intention of making the Cedar Branch "Y" a "jim-crow Y" or to change its present status as an interracial YMCA branch, open to persons eligible of all races. With this understanding, assured several times by both gentlemen, the editor consented to become a member. Membership fee, five dollars. Councilmen Finkle, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard are to be praised for their fight in City Council, Monday evening, to head off the southern "cracker" planned discrimination to be carried out by local individuals in the Cedar-Central area when its buildings are completed. And by the same token, the three Republican members, Councilmen Bohn, Kohen and Pillersdorf, as well as those Democrats, who voted against them should not be forgotten. Be sure to remember them for future action when they again seek public office. We are alright when they need us, particularly at election time, but all wrong when we need them. Do not pay any attention to the daily newspaper criticism of our councilmen's action, Monday night, in this matter. They were and are right. Good luck to Finkle's "repealer" ordinance. Let it "cloud the Government's title to the streets" involved. "We should worry!" Thursday, April 11, was the 70th birthday of Miss Mary White Owington, treasurer of the NAACP. She was one of the three persons who called together the original group in 1909 out of which the organization materialized. Prior to that time, just after leaving college, she had plunged into settlement work among our people, and it was the knowledge gained in this work which convinced her that a nation-wide organization to fight for our rights was necessary. For many years she was chairman of the Board of Directors of the NAACP. She has traveled in many parts of this country and abroad, and wherever she has gone she has carried the message of full justice and opportunity for American citizens regardless of color. The Ga- zette wishes Miss Ovington many more years of good health and usefulness. ELECTION AND PRIMARY ELECTION CONTROL DIFFER. The NAACP, we hope, has at last learned the difference, from a legal viewpoint, between the control of a primary election and a regular election in Texas (and other states). Four times has the "right" of "Negroes" to participate in Texas primarily been taken to Washington for a U. S. Supreme court opinion which has finally been given. Voting in this country is NOT a "right" but a PRIVILEGE granted citizens by the several states (for state matters) and the national government (for federal matters.) Control of elections, state and federal, is therefore vested in those units, respectively. But when primary elections are held they are in the control of the party organizations of the state, which alone have the right to decide to whom to extend the privilege of voting in their primary elections. In state and federal elections, the state and the government control and NOT the party organizations. JELLIFFE TO "EXPLAIN"? The Rev. D. Ormond Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, and a member of our local Ministers' Alliance, is said to have announced, Sunday, in St. James that Russell Jelliffe, manager of "The Neighborhood Association," better known as the East 38th St. Playhouse Settlement "for Colored People," had asked for a chance to explain to St. James Forum, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, the staging, some weeks ago, of that vile Communist play, "Stevedore," in the Karamu theater, a unit of the "Neighborhood Association," located in Central Ave. next to the corner of E. 38th St. This in the face of the united protest of our two local ministers organizations, the Ministers' Interdenominational Alliance and the Baptist Ministers' Conference. Not satisfied with this most grievous affront, Jelliffe appealed to the local courts in his successful effort to continue the play in spite of their protests to the mayor and the common pleas court. He wanted to " rub it in," as it were, and proceeded to do so. This is better appreciated when it is known that our two local Ministers' organizations, over a year ago, protested to Jelliffe as the result of his staging plays, with young "Negroes" as performers, that were most insulting indeed to our people. It is said Jelliffe and his wife are paid $3,000 each for conducting "The Neighborhood Association" (E. 38th St. Playhouse Settlement "for Colored People"). How much respect they have for our people seems to have been plainly shown in their "Stevedore" stunt. NO "JIM CROW Y." Cleveland, a part of the old Western Reserve as far as Colored people are concerned, is not to be judged by standards established in Chicago and New York when YMCA work is being considered. This fact was apparently lost sight of when George R. Arthur, an assistant secretary of a segregated branch YMCA in Chicago was brought to the city, recently, to address a luncheon given in the Central "Y" of Cleveland which has twelve branch "Ys," one of which is located at the corner of E. 77th St and Cedar Ave, and is generally known as the Cedar "Y." This institution was established twelve years ago, not as a "Colored Y" but open to members of both races. That it is patronized most largely by members of the Colored race results from its location. There is decided opposition to its being made a segregated "Y" for the use of Colored people only. During the past dozen years, it has grown steadily without such discrimination. There is no good reason why whites eligible should be barred from membership in the same. This is Cleveland and not New York or Chicago. The Colored people of this city will not support a segregated "Y" for the very good reason brought out at the recent luncheon meeting by Civil Service Commissioner Clayborne George who called attention to the fact that the establishment of such an institution in other cities resulted in barring only Colored YMCA members from participation in the activities and facilities of all other YMCAs of the city. Barring whites from membership in the Cedar branch "Y," and restricting memberships to Colored people only would be anything but a Christian act, to say the least. Without such unchristianlike discrimination, the Cedar "Y" has outgrown its present quarters, and should be kept an inter-racial institution whether or not members of other races eligible take advantage of the opening. Cleveland's reputation for fair treatment should not be impaired by establishing a "jim-crow" branch "Y." Blunder Sends Man to Death. Los Angeles, Calif.-Court machinery moved solemnly here, Tuesday, to "save" the life of a dead man, hanged four days before at San Quentin Prison. Meanwhile state officials investigated the legal blunder which sent Rush Griffin, age 19, a member of the race, to a lows, last week Prison, altho he had been in a stay of execution. An appeal which automatically postponed Griffin's death sentence was found in the files of a lower clerk's office. Monday apparently forgotten. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. APRIL 13. 1935. 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 has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very active. 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. "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. LISTEN TO THAT BLIGHTER TALK.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mobly" 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.) 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, misbehavior, or other weapons, may recover, as hereafter provided, as a form 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 permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6228. 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, the child's share or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

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 manager of an inn, restaurant, eater house bar, tap, public conveyance by land or water to another 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 denied not less than fifty dollars or more than fifty dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble in our people will not use it as often as they should, but to do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. A. E.

Theodore James Schloff closes his letter to the Plain Dealer, under date April 4, 1935, with this sentence: "Art for art's sake, racial bigotry in art be damned." This sentence followed comment on the blasphemous, Communist play, "Stevedore" which was given in this city, recently, by the "Neighborhood Association," E. 38th B. Playhouse Settlement. We take it that Mr. Schloff either has been misinformed or is willfully dumb. The opposition to the play referred to was NOT an exhibition of "racial bigotry" but was based upon the fact that the play, "Stevedore," was rotten to the core with vile language unfit for use on any public stage in this community. That the rotten play "excited New Yorkers," who objected to the profane, obscene and blasphemous language used in it, is not at all surprising. One thing sure, it is anything but a "character-building" production. And the "Neighborhood Association," conducted by the "Jellifes" (Mr. and Mrs. Russell W. Jellife), and supported in part by the Cleveland Community Fund as a "character-building" institution, is certainly not the agency to sponsor so vile a production as the proletarian play, "Stevedore." Whether it is a work of "art," or whether there is "a Gilpin or a Harrison" in the group that gave it, is not pertinent. The writer will be glad to furnish a copy of some of the profane, obscene and for many days. Left-over meats, fruits, or vegetables may be saved, then be made days later into new tasty dishes. No food need be wasted. entertaining and the preparation of meals much easier. Tasty dishes can be prepared in advance, then preserved perfectly until it's time to serve. food on bargain days, then use it as needed. Food authorities estimate that a saving of fifteen cents out of each dollar of present food expenditure can be made this way. Get your Electric Refrigerator this Spring.

By RING LARDNER CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION ARCHBISHOP McNICHOLAS Affirms His Deep Interest in the Race—Bishop Albers, Fathers Walsh, McGowan and Backhus Also Speak. Cincinnati, O.—On a recent Sunday evening, the effect of the economic depression on our people was pretty thoroly discussed by a number of speakers of both races at a meeting held in the century-old Holy Trinity church, W. 5th St., under the patronage of Archbishop John T. McNicholas who was one of the speakers. In assuring our people of interest in our problems, the Archbishop would never be complacent of any injustice suffered by members of the race. Bishop Jos, H. Albers, W. L. Anderson, a local printer; Fathers R. A. McGawan, Leo M. Walsh of Wyoming, O., who was instrumental in reopening the old Trinity church and school, nearly ten years ago, as a mission for our people, and in building negotiation; Father Raymond Backhug and others also ably and interestingly addressed the meeting which was held Geo. W. Conrad. The last named stressed the Archbishop's outstanding friendship for the race. "I take it for granted that you accept my interest in you," said Archbishop McNicholas. "I make no discontinuance, race or color am interested in souls. You have qualities that many groups have not. No other group has the patience to suffer as you have suffered, especially during the depression. No group could be so cheerful in suffering. The Catholic Church is interested in you, the injustices you have suffered. When you are with the determination never to call wrong right, we shall do more and more to equalize things." en ee copycat eee steeeiintttteieenerennmeicanennl a Ne 2822 E. 55th St. (South of Central Ave.) All Seats 10c, except Sunday and Monday, 15¢.

The handclap may have suggested the tom-tom and, later, other “instruments of percussion, such as drums, gongs and bells, which produce sound when struck. When employed for communica- tion purposes, such instruments can transmit messages as far as their sound can be heard. Although usual- ly employed in sending messages by prearranged codes, drums are appar- ently used in some instances to imi- tate the actual sound of spoken lan- guage. Travelers in Africa have been astounded at the remarkable “jungle wireless” or tatking drum communi- cation systems found among many tribes. Among the Ashantis, for ex- ample, two drums, of different pitches, are used in transmitting messages. By combining high and low notes, a drummer produces an imitation of the spoken language of the tribe, which an expert listener can interpret as rapidly and accurate- ly as he would speech. In this sense, the Ashanti drums are sometimes said not merely to signal but actually to “talk” the message transmitted.
