JACKSON ON WHAT'S DOING A regular meeting of the 18th Ward Republican club was held, last week Friday evening, at Temple Baptist church with a Townsend club which used the first half hour. There was a full house. Councilman John E. Hubbard opened the 18th Ward club meeting by asking if there were any newspaper reporters in the townsend club to question the question, of course. No reply, he started a rambling talk (as usual) by saying the Gazette had been printing some untrue things about him but failed to mention any of them. Of course, his statement is NOT true. He undoubtedly had reference to the Bryant gasoline station matter which bids fair to defeat him, this fall, he did not "quap" the issue to the Bryant family's making a living for itself. He said he had been asked by many people why he did not take the lead in an effort to open that driveway at the station so the Bryant can do some business, and said, "Mrs. Bryant is here in the town to say?" Whereupon, the lady stood and said to Hubbard: "I'd rather let you talk first and then will continue to correct that." Maybe I will not stand for any corrections." Wouldn't that jar you? He then continued his rambling talk, saying he was in sympathy with the Bryants and that he bought gasoline from them. Also that the church (St. James A. M. E.) was legally right (in its opposition to the Bryant gasoline station) but morally wrong." As a matter of fact it is the church pastor, Bryant who is leading the fight against the Bryants, with Hubbard's passive assistance. The Councilman then asked Mrs. Bryant if she had anything to say. She replied by saying, so everyone in the church could hear her plainly: "If you introduce a resolution in City Council to amend the ordinance the driveway will be opened!" That was a KNOCKOUT that Hubbard did not even try to answer. And that of the Bryant gasoline station fight. Hubbard has it in his power to help that family with two children make a living for itself and REFUSES to do so, Shame, O, SHAME! VICE CRUSADE! While OUR City Federation of Women's clubs and NAACP local branch sleep on soundly, a crusade by Cleveland club women (white) against vice conditions in the vicinity of E. 55th St. and Central Ave. is under way following a warning by Juvenile Court Judge Harry L. Eastman that young school girls are being introduced to vice in that neighborhood which IS rotten to the core. Judge Eastman's revelations were made following sentencing of five women and two men, last Saturday, on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a 16-year-old white girl. All but the girl were "Negroes." the girl, the judge said, had been quenting night clubs near E. 55th Central Ave, and had been kept by men for several days at Hotel Majestic. Later, he said, she was introduced to owners of two vice-resorts, where she remained for a week. "This is but one instance of the deplorable conditions in that district," said Judge Eastman. "Schoolgirls go to cheap night clubs and fly-by-night hotels, where vice is per se and perhaps even encourage aged." And he is RIGHT; too! Duke Ellington and his band will be at the Public Auditorium, soon it is announced. NEW HOUSING PROJECT At Newark Named for Richard B. Harrison of "Green Pastures"—Roscoe Conkling Bruce Jr., Resident Manager. NEWARK, N. J.—The Prudential Insurance Company is completing the second block of its low-cost housing project here for Afro-Americans. In the center, is a city-owned park. The buildings have been named in honor of the late Richard B. Harrison of Green Pastures. The manager, Roscoe Conkling Bruce Jr., is just opened his office at 59 Someterset St. Mr. Bruce is a graduate of the College of New York. He also studied at Harvard University and at the Sorbone in Paris, France. He got Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Jr. his experience in housing under his father and mother, managers of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments in New York City. Mr. Bruce's grandfather was U. S. Senator Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi, and his great grandfather was Dr. Joseph Willson, of Cleveland, Ohio, who published the book "Sketches of the Higher Classes of Colored Society in the South," in "The Other," in 1841. Roscoe's grandmother, Mr. Josephine Wilson Bruce was Cleveland's first "colored" public-school teacher, all her pupils being "whites" (or "greys" as Clarence Darrow calls them). The first block of the Prudential's housing project for this community, which has been in operation for a year or more, was named in honor of the Hon. Frederick Dougherty, a fire-proof and modern in every respect. The Douglass and the Harrison Apartments comprise the largest housing project for Afro-Americans. IONES AND DETT "Captivated and Charmed," Respectively, Large Audiences at the Nation's Capital. The Former Solitary of Washington, the Symphony, Orchestra. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The National Symphony orchestra (25 members), Dr. Hans Kindler, director, recently gave its annual concert at Howard University, with Louis Vaughn Jones of Cleveland, Ohio, director of the violin department of the conservatory of the university, as violin soloist, accompanied by the orchestra, of course. His number was the Lalo "Symphony Espagnole." The music critic of the Washington Daily Herald had the following to say of this number: "Mr. Jones gave the Spanish music with a depth of feeling for its pathos and an appreciation for its special idiom. In the slow movement his varied tone- qualities brot significance to the music, while the trills of the melody were pure, facile and well articulated. He rose to a surer climax in the finale, with solidity of tone in rich depth that matched the ruggedness and accent the orchestra put into the folk element in the music." Prof. Jones was given four recalls to his solo (in three parts), which required fully 50 minutes to play. At its conclusion Dr. Kindler congratulated and presented him with a large portrait of himself, the first festival of music, at the Washington Auditorium, recently, was one of the outstanding musical affairs of the season. Among the participants was Prof. Jones, whose "Ramah" and Dr. Dett's "Listen to the Lambs," a fantasia, "proved a rare compliment to Howard University School of Music which he represented," said the Washington Post. The Herald also said, "Louia Vaughn Jones captivated with faultless technique, full and rounded tone, and with profound emotion." The same paper said, "Dr. Nathaniel Dett charmed the audience with his own works." Daub Shops of Jews.

Owens Breaks American Broad-Jump Record—Peacock Equals the Best Efforts Recorded at Drake in the Last 26 Years. Des Moines, Ia.—Jess Owens drove his body thru space, here, last week Friday to miss breaking the world's broad-record record. He hit three eighths of an inch. The 21-year-old Cleveland lad achieved this amazing leap on his first jump opening the preliminaries of the 26th annual Drake relay carnival. Almost before the crowd of 8,000 knew what had happened Owens had bounded off the take-off board to establish a new American record of 26 feet 1% inches. Only one other individual in the world, Chuhei Nambu, a Japanese, has bettered it. Four years ago Nambu leaped 2 feet 2% inches in Drake track and field carnival has been run. The 21-year-old Cleveland lad, bouncing off his starting blocks, bobble his intently shot into the lead and maintained it to the finish winning at least two yards ahead of Milton Holt of Fresno, Calif. State College, to tie the Drake record made by Roland Locke of Nebraska in 1926 and tied by Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette's famed flyer, in 1932. Running in perfect stride, Jes saled down the chalk-landed cinder-path like a machine. Holt is rated one of the outstanding sprinters of the Pacific Coast. Owens was not even extended. He won as he pleased, the A. Jess Owens. Japan to establish the present world mark, which will be broken by Jess before the 1935 outdoor season is over. By his victory he wrote his name at the top of the list of the famous jumpers, Dehart Hubbard of Michigan; Edw. Gordon, Iowa's Olympic champion of 1922, and Edw. Hamm of Georgia Tech, who, until last Friday, held the American record of 25 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Entitled to five attempts, Owens used only three jumps. On his second jump, he cleared 25 feet, $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. On his third, 25 feet, $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The Drake relays attracted a colorful field of 3,000 athletes from coast to coast of all the engenies and the Pacific coast in all the cities easily qualified for the finals of the 100-yard dash, the next day (Saturday), winning his trial heat by three feet in 0:10.1 Owens' 9.5 Ties Record. Last Saturday, in the 100-yard dash, Owens was away with the gun and crossed the finish line winner from a fast field in 9.5 seconds. His performance equalled the best efforts recorded in the 26 years that the Doings of the Race Hampton, Va. Institute celebrated its 67th anniversary, April 24.

PHILADELPHIA. — Over 30,000 witnessed the 41st Pennsylvania relay carnival dives at historic Franklin Field, last Saturday. One of our guests, Todd Johnson, the university's most versatile athlete, furnished the day's most spectacular double by capturing the broad jump with a leap of 25 feet ¼ inch and then upsetting Herman Neugault, Tulane sensation, in the record-breaking final to the 100-meter dash. Peacock, who had tied the carnival of 10.7 seconds in the semi-finals, left away from Neugault in the final drive to win by two yards in the new record time of 10.6 seconds. The former record-holder and 1934 winner, Earl Widyer of Maryland, finished fourth.

Ward pulled away to beat Good by three yards with Virginia's Grover Everett, who set the former record of 15.1 last year, third. Forced to withdraw from the sprint.

POLITICAL SERVANTS. Alfred Hall, son of Councilman Frank Hall (deceased) of Cincinnati, had the following political classic in the Cincinnati Union of last week: Are the present colored politicians leaders or merely servants of politicians? That is the question which must be solved before we, as voters, can ever hope to participate in the government of which we are a part. Everyone really realizes that OUR VOTE IS USED MERELY TO PUT THE OTHER FELLOW IS OFFICE AIDER. AND THEY ARE CERNED, AND HE IS CERNED, THAT IS THE END UNTIL NEXT ELECTION. The foregoing applies perfectly to the situation here in Cleveland and with greater force than it does in our sister city down on the Ohio river. Our Councilmen, for the city jobs they get for constituents, are political SERVANTS, pure and simple, while city color-lines of all kinds continue to multiply. They apparently are not concerned. WHAT THE MAYOR MEANT. Mayor Harry L. Davis said, among other things, Sunday evening, in his talk at St. John's A. M. E. church: "The thing you people are entitled to in Cleveland is a paper that you can rely on to tell nothing but the truth." When he said "you people," the Mayor meant ALL the people of this city and not simply our people. Then, too, he knew and knows, as he has said in the past, that in "The Old Reliable" Gazette, the only one of our local publications to do yeoman service for him in his last campaign, our people of this community, and the entire country for that matter, "have a paper that they can rely on to tell them nothing but the truth." Also, that The Gazette has been doing this for them for more than a half century. Mayor Davis had reference to the daily newspapers and all of the people of this city when he said what he did and we have republished above. And he was NOT in error in making that statement, either. Cleveland needs a morning Republican paper that will be fair to all and "tell nothing but the truth." However, so long as our people have "The Old Reliable" Gazette they only, of all the residents of this city, can struggle along without such a publication. HOW LONG CAN WE "TAKE IT?" There is at least one calling that hasn't been depressed during the past few years. Not only has it held its own, but it has managed to go forward and put more and more good round dollars in the till. That calling is Tax Gathering. According to a recent editorial in the Los Angeles Examiner, officeholders of the country now receive about $5,000,000,000 a year in tax-paid salaries—and the amount is steadily rising. Public payrolls list over 3,250,000 people—and that list is constantly lengthening. Last year over 90,000 new names were added to the Federal payroll alone—in addition to increased political employment in practically all of the 175,000 subordinate governments the country has to support. Every citizen has to chip in to pay the bill the politicians create. The people pay it directly, thru income, property and security taxes. They pay a larger amount indirectly, thru taxes levied on everything they use—from a pack of cigarettes to the winter fuel. A recent estimate places the cost of government at over thirteen thousand million dollars a year—nearly one-third of the nation's income. In the words of The Examiner, "All the unnecessary governments and all the superfluous politicians are demanding and imposing more and more taxes on industry, more and more taxes on productive pursuits, more and more taxes on the public generally." The American people have shown they can "take it" when it comes to paying taxes—but serious observers are beginning to wonder how long the people will per- A man working on a machine.

SOCIAL SECURITY HERE AND THERE. One of the large newspaper chains, referring to the Social Security Bill now pending before the United States Senate, said, editorially: "The United States is 50 years behind some European countries in establishing a social-security system. This reform should be passed quickly." Which reminds us of the dialogue when the mother was trying to get her small daughter to eat spinach. "There are thousands of little girls who would like to have your spinach," said the mother. "Name just one," replied the daughter, ending the dialogue. So, we request: Name just one European country that has social security that works better than the American system. True, the American system differs from the European system. Here, social security is not a mythical thing woven around a set of laws that fail to provide security, as it is there.

There, men and women are born to "class" strata from which few are able to climb, so low is the wage and so insurmountable is the social barrier. American industry has provided for its workers advantages superior to any that can be secured thru legislative edict. Why handicap this system with payroll taxes which would break down instead of build up security?

Great interest is manifested in the small and compact air conditioning unit which is suspended from the ceiling of the basement and which filters, humidifies and circulates the air by that also the air in the upper rooms. This unit, pictured here, has two steel wool air filters, two devices to add the necessary water to the air in the winter and a fan to draw the air from the intake duct and propel it out thru the openings which are located back of the radiators in the first floor rooms.

Nationally, navy makes its seasonal debut from Maine to California. For those who wonder why, let it be said that navy owes its recurring popularity to the fact that it can be combined with any number of bright field flower shades, as a perfect complement to pink, yellow, red, and cornflower blue. Large women, especially, find navy an excellent color for their needs. Its darkness serves to slenderize, and the bright little touches navy takes are always flattering.

Novelty of Ove Often Causes STAGE-FRIGHT often produces humorous and touching conversations when persons talk for the first time across an ocean. The novice at overseas telephoning is so flabbergasted by the novelty and incredulity of the experience that his self-conscious speech sometimes resembles that of a nervous speaker who talks into a radio microphone for the first time. No Charge for Tears Typical of the emotional effect of overseas telephoning is the case of the young Swedish man, who called his mother in Sweden on her birthday. The young man walked blithely into a telephone office one day with great joy in his heart and just enough money to pay for a three-minute call to Sweden in his pocket. Twenty-two long years had passed since he had seen his mother. He couldn't remember the sound of her voice, but he had a great yearning to hear it now. When her voice did come to him from over the Atlantic, it brought a flood of emotion that swept over AL YOU HAVE NAME.

The bell sleeves will prove to be very cool. The two wide, graceful revers with tucked, surplice-shaped band made of silk that crepe makes a very fattering neckline. Note the slimming effect of the pleats in front of this dress. The other dress pictured illustrates how smart one can be in simple Normandy volle. It can be worn anywhere, either at a taperary, at or church, and an added beauty is the fact that it is washable. The lines are very simple, but how they do slenderize! The fagging on the deep surplice revers and on the bell sleeves add a nice touch, and the white pleated organdie edging on the vestee is an inspiration.

For the life of him he couldn't utter a word for two of his precious three minutes. When the call was over, he found to his dismay that it had consumed five minutes instead of three, and that the cost exceeded his carefully planned savings.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Court has several times held the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "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. Pence 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. MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob for the purpose of this chapter," and 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, particularly if 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 justice by a mob, 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 permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving amounts equal to a chilis if they be widowed, 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. 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. (93 v. 162 8.) lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs may recover the costs of the jury or punish costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6286. If the decedent so Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or . comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 13.) 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 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 not less than fifty dollars or 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. THE CHANGE OF LIFE No medicine can prevent the change of life, during middle-age, but CARDUI does help women to overcome much suffering during that time. Many women have reported that by taking Cardui during the change of life their strength has been renewed and their strength improved. By building up their strength ene have overcome ordinary nervousness and painful conditions due to poor nourishment. Give them purely vegetable, harmless medicine. When you need Cardui, buy a bottle and take it regularly. Several bottles may be needed. Give it it as it is tried. See if it will help you as it has helped so many women. Of course, if Cardui does not benefit you, consult a physician.

Max Hayes, editor of the Cleveland Citizen and a member of the Metro- politan Housing Authority, may not know it, but he was certainly wrong in his bitter attack upon Mayor Har- ry L. Davis and Councilmen Finkle, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard's atti- tude toward the Cedar-Central hous- ‘ing project. ‘The Mayor was right in his refusal to sign the ordinance vacating the streets. in the Cedar- Central area but did not go far oe HE SHOULD HAVE VE- TOED I! Finkle’s threat to intro- ‘duce a repealer for the ordinance, which he carried out, was a perfect: ‘ly correct proceeding from our view- point or standpoint, with Hayes to the contrary, notwithstanding. ‘The ordinance ought never to have been passed until the federal government gave assurance that there would be no discrimination in renting the buildings of its housing project when completed, and it Finkle, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard are as sincere in their opposition, as we hope they are, they will use their votes in the City Council, in the future, to pun- ‘ish the members of the majority vote that defeated their efforts to. make the federal government give the as— surance desired. Hayes said he was “disgusted with the obstructionist tactics of the Mayor “and our repre- sentatives in City Council. He isn’t half as disgusted as we are with that Republican-Democratic majority vote in that august body that passed the ordinance, regardless of the civil rights of over 80,000 Afro-American residents of this city. In comment- ing upon the matter, Mayor Davis said, the first of the week, that he “did feel that the government should have taken a definite position with regard to discrimination against race, color and creed.” What we re- gret’is that he did not feel it suf- ficiently, deeply and keenly to not only refuse to sign the ordinance, but to veto it as well, KILL IT. Edi- tor Hayes’ desire to help secure more work for the unemployed, as soon as possible, in the Cedar-Central area is not to be commended, if the em- ployment must be secured as a re- sult of a denial of citizen-rights to more than 80,000 law-abiding Amer- ican citizen residents of this commu: nity. ‘They have rights that he and all others of his” kind should be forced to respect, whenever neces. eines MOVE WILBERFORCE SOUTH. Some of the members of the fac- ulty of Wilberforce University, in the last year or two, have stressed what they term the institution’s “dual management,” having reference, we take it, to the fact that the A. M. E. Church connection controls and man- ages the university with the excep- tion of its “Combined Normal and Industrial (“State”) Department,” which of course is controlled by ‘a board of trustees, a majority of whom are appointed by the Governor of Ohio, and the minority by the A. M. E, Church connection. They are assisted by a “board of control” (sev- eral state. officers). Recently, it seems, Wilberforce University ‘was denied admittance to the North Cen- tral Association after having made application to be placed upon its ac- credited list of schools, In explana- tion of this, a report sent out from Wilberforce, last week, announced that “it is believed that the lack of an adequate library, complete and modern laboratories and the DUAL MANAGEMENT were the main rea- sons for rejection.” We may de wrong but we do not believe that the alleged “dual management” had any- thing to do with the refusal, As a matter of fact, the so-called “dual management” has been the making and is the salvation of the institu- tion as it stands today. If it were not for the generous appropriations given to the Combined Normal and Industrial (“‘State") Department of the university, finis for the institu- tion (University) would have been written, many years ago. Our advice to the members of the faculty of the University, who have brot forward, in the last year or two, this “dual management” talk, is to’ discontinue it and abandon their desire to foist Wilberforce University upon the state of Ohio as @ ‘branch of the State University “for Colored people only.” Something that will never be done! As a matter of fact, the institution (Wilberforce University) ought to be moved into the South- land where it is needed, It is NOT NEEDED in Ohio, as every one knows. And those members of the faculty who have been flirting with the K. K. K. and prejudiced educa- tors in and out of Ohio, nursing a desire to see Wilberforce University a segregated (‘‘jim-crow") institu- tion and a part of Ohio State Univer- sity, are wasting time and effort. ‘The’ Combined Normal and Industrial ('State") Department of Wilber- force University igopen to all! It cannot be otherwise under the laws of this state. If members of the fac- ulty of Wilberforce University and others want it made a segregated in- stitution—“for Colored people only” —let them advocate moving it to the southland where such an institution belongs.

Wheels and Winas ‘Throughout thousands of years, the development of the art of com- munication has been linked with that of transportation. In some cases, special methods of transportation have been devised particularly for communication pur- poses, a conspicuous example being the use of carrier pigeons. In most instances, however, the facilities em- ployed in carrying messages have been those used in transporting pas- sengers: the horse, camel or other man-carrying animal; the wheeled vehicle; the boat in its multitude of forms. First steam, and then electricity and the internal combustion engine, have given new speed to wheel, pad- dle and propeller. Within but a rela- tively few years, man has mastered the art of air navigation and has made space the pathless sea through which he sails his ships. All this has been done, not alone that man himself might travel more swiftly, but that his written words might speed more quickly on their way.

Two cylindrical vessels, of the same size and shape, were provided with taps from which water would run at ex- actly the same rate. Into each vessel there was loosely fitted a float to which was attached an upright rod marked off into equal sections. On the corresponding sections of each rod, identical messages were written. When a message was to be sent, the attendant at the sending station’dis- played a torch. This signal was ac- knowledged by displaying a torch at the receiving station, whereupon the attendants at both, stations started the water running from their clepsy- dras. When the rod at the sending station had sunk so that the desired message was level with the rim of the vessel, the attendant there again signaled with his torch. The rod at the receiving station had, of course, sunk to the corresponding message, which was then read by the attendant there.

Fossil, Wyoming, 1s formed by the accidental meeting of two roads which Slipped down from opposite sides of a mountain. ‘There ts a pleasing legend that the population of Fossil Is 50: but, counting the peor’e sou can see and the ones you can imagine, you cannot arrive at a generous estimate of more than 80, ‘They will have to stop the train es pecially for you. ‘They don't like to do {t—and, as you look out over the wind-swept, cold, purple dawn on the Rocky mountains at this particular point, neither do you. But it's worth it! A few minutes after you have ar- rived on a well-conducted fossil-tishing trip, the sun will break over the farth- fest ridge in a long crescent of fossil ‘mountain which sleeps content in a past which even the most arduous fish- erman will never know. Around you is a shallow sweep of ‘mountain—red, gray, green, blue, and purple—eolored with time and embrac Ing earth and sky and air. ‘The sky is fa curious translucent blue. You stand as if on the basin of some huge broken plece of pottery. All about you at the broken brim are fossil beds which you at ee a inl depth you may never plumb. Custodian of the fossil beds, amateur sportsman extraordinary, Robert Lee Craig will take you fishing if you have fan honest Interest. He has been fish ing in these hills for 37 years, and he has no patience with people who will not climb with him the 275 feet trom his camp to the fossil hill; who wil not wait while he lays hare o stratum of fossil rock; who' will not, with his own suppressed excitement, cleave those strata again and again, peeling. stripping the layers down as though they were ears of corn. Often the fin- fest specimens of fossilized fish will be hidden just beneath the gray-like sur- face and would pass notice of all ex cept the most observing. Heat of Day Best Time. It Is best to walt until the heat of the day to raise a ledge, for then the bright rays of sun, striking each layer as it is peeled off with wedge and bam- mer, often show up the faint tracing of a backbone, the dim outline of a fin. When this outline is revealed. the fossil fisherman takes the sharp biae of a knife and gently scratches the pro- tecting shale away to make sure of his specimen. Then he hews out a square of rock around the fish, and the spect men 1s ready for cleaning. The clean- Ing process is done with the fine biate of a knife, great skill belng exercised the fish is Imbedde without cestroy- Ing the delicate outline of the fish. Hills. Slip and Stide. ‘These fossil hills are contrary—Jeal- ‘ous as deep pools where bass lie hid- den from the easter's fly. ‘They stip and slide, they shift and fall, to con- found the fisherman and make for him unceasing labor. You must wait and hope, you must listen to stories of oth- er fish, other days; you must eat your hoonday sandwich dry and brittle and filled with some dust of shale; you must know the sadness of cleaving a whole sheaf of rock at last—good, firm fossil rock In which whole schools of prehistoric fishes should le buried— only to find it barren as a desert trail. No, these fish took one more dive be- fore the cataclysm. They lie to wind- ward or to leeward. And though you fare some 25 or 20 feet below the top layer of protecting shale, still you have not fished deep enouzh. If you are a proper fisherman, you will, of course, spend many lingering moments which might otherwise be te- ious in contemplation of the ancient story of how your “etch” came to be cast up, in the very act of living, onto the dry and dusty mountain tops. As a theme for meditation, It far surpasses the habits of the lively pike in his fa vorite deep-lake retreat. For the how and the why of the northern pike in present-lay waters is mysterious enough, but the how and the why of the fossil gar pike ts the story of Time Atsett. Perhaps the best definition of the fos- ‘sil fish for the amateur stone fisherman is the simple one given by the late Frederic A. Lucas, formerly a curator of the National museum, in his book, “Animals of the Past.” i “Fossils,” he says, “are the remains, or even the indications, of animals and plants that have, through natural agen- cies, been buried in the earth and pre- served for long periods of time.” ‘These “indications,” which may be footprints. tramped leaves, the almost formless Jellyfish, the very ripple on the sands, have been, In many instances, pre served in stone, perfect patterns of the ephemeral life of millions of sears azo. ‘And how did fossil fish come to be Imprisoned in their strangely lifelike stony form in The Itocky mountains of Wyoming? Your mind must go. back to lost ages, when an ocean rolled over the wheat fields of Kansas, the prairies of Nebraska, and the site of the Empire State bullding alike. ‘These abundant seas were ruled successively by vari ous races of sea ceatures, which came. ruled, were conquered by larger and more powerful species, and at Inst lay scattered at the bottom of the ancient ocean he ange Ocean Rulers.

The good old redingote, daytime standby of the fashion world, has gone formal on us, The coat-and-dress ensemble which has become a spring elassie for well- dressed women is appearing now in advance showings of the summer-eve- ning mode. At first glance you wouldn't recog- nize the frothy concoctions as mem- hers of the reliable redingote family. But examine them carefully and there can he no mistake. ‘There Is a strong tendeney on the part of designers to make a coat-like garment of crisp sheer fabric, stich as organdie or organza, and pose it over a slim sheath of taffeta, The organdie coat fastens loosely at the waistline, and ts open the rest of the way down, revealing the slip beneath. Sometimes the redingote is of starched lace, and sometimes of or- ganza or stiffened chiffon, Usnaliy it has short puffed sleeves, but sometimes it has long, loose ones. ‘The trick is that it must be sheer, revealing the sheath beneath.

Naval Reverve Assistant Fuel Engineer, Byrd Antarctic Expedition 1 ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG SHIP, JACOB RUPPERT (via Mackay Radio) — We are cruising across the vast Pacific, in tropical weather free from ice, snow, cre- vasses, blizzards and the other Antarctic devilments we have put up with for nearly two years. What a relief! We are moving slowly in order to conserve our supply of fuel olf We had sadness in New Zealand. Our pleasure at seeing new faces, trees and grass and getting clean again, was offset by the death, from natural causes, of our clever carpenter, Capt. Ivor A. Tingloft, of Boston. This is the first man of either of Admiral Byrd's Antare- tic Expeditions to die before the final home coming. The Admiral has never lost a man on the {ce, despite the terrific dangers and tasks they have encountered—a re markable achievement and a won: derful testimonial to Admirat Byrd's care of his men, in equip- ment and in watching over their health and welfare, often at the ex pense of bis own well-being. ‘The past year has been a year of intensive training for me. I didn’t think that in the short space of 22 months a person could cram 80 much information into bis head. In a talk this morning with EB. J. “Pete” Demas, of Washington, D. C.,, chief of the tractor division, we summarized the operation of the tractors during the past season and some points were brought to light which may be of interest to motor ists and others interested in auto motive matters. ‘This has been the first time in the history of Arctic or Antarctic exploration that surface automo- tive units have ever been used suc- leessfully. This success, however, lwas entirely the result of unflag {A Series of Three Articles) "Admiral Byrd G. A, Abele ort By C. A. ABELE, JR. Ensign, U, 8, Naval Reserve Fuel Engineer, Byrd Antarctic: Exp No. 2 Picea Sen 5 nace ging attention to details. Our Dig tractor, the three little French tractors and the two Ford snowmo- biles were not constructed to meet conditions such as we encountered In that tey nightmare south of the sun. Demas and Vernon Boyd, of Tur tle Creek, Pa., Joseph Hill, Jr., ot Canyon, Tex., Bernard Skinner, of Winthrop, Me. and J. H. Vander Wall, of South’ Ozone, N. ¥., labor ed under almost impossible con- ditions through the long winter night preparing the units for their season of activity. _ Demas had been on Admiral ‘Byrd's previous expedition and was able to anticipate numerous nec- essary changes in the machines in- cluding the installation of a 15-gal- lon oil tank over each engine. By this means hot and fluid Veedol oll was always available for use in the engines even at the lowest tem- peratures. Airplane tanks holding 145 gallons of precious Tydol gaso- line were installed in the little Cit- roen tractors and a 50-gallon tank on the big tractor. Demas was greatly concerned over two prob- lems which faced him, namely ofl dilution and vaporization of fuel. Much to our surprise these items never became an issue. The fuel and lubricants functioned perfectly and later when the engines were overhauled no excessive deposits of carbon were found. ‘The greatest trouble we had on these awful tractor trips was the breaking of fan belts. At the ex- tremely low temperatures encoun- ‘tered, 50 to 70 degrees below zero, the rubber and leather belts be- ‘came brittle and snapped like sps- ghetti. We attempted to make belts ot rope. These would work for short time and then start to alip. ‘On one trip of 250 miles Comman- ‘der Noville used 15 tan belts. This is still a problem for other Arctic explorers to meet. ‘The next difficulty was ice in the carburetors resulting from fine particles of snow being drawn into the air intake. These penetratet the finest screen. This obstacl» ‘could only be overcome by remov: ing the carburetor and chipping out ‘the ice. In order to facilitate re ‘equipped with butterfly nuts tn stead of the usual hex head. We made another peculiar discovery, that lowering the draw bar con necting each machine to the sied ges it was pulling increased the efficiency of the vehicle. If the draw-bar was at or above the cen- ter of gravity most of the weight of the machine was thrown back on the heel of the tread when tow ing heavy loads instead of being evenly distributed over the entire tread. This caused the tractors to dig into the soft snow. ‘We had a lot more battery trou ble than the average mowurist « in winter. So long as the batteries were kept fully charged no difficul ty was encountered but once they were allowed to drop below the full charge the output decreased rapid. ly. For this reason spare charged Datteries were carried in all the cars. Each unit also carried a com- plete set of spare parts so that any type of repair could be accom- plished out on the blizzard swept trails. Even now, as we are plugging across the Pacific with our amazing experiences only a few weeks be bind us, they are beginning to rex. feter in our minds as events of the Jong-distant past. Some of the things we went through are hard to realize now. In my article next ‘week I will try to give you a men- tal summary of the entire Byrd Ex- edition from the standpoint of ‘2P-year old boy just out of college.
