Jones, a former resident of Youngstown, a member of Oak Hill Ave. A. M. E. church, treasurer of Logan lodge, was found dead in an old building in Campbell. Funeral arrangements had not been completed until Smith's funeral services were held at Centenary M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. R. G. Morris officiating.—Mrs. Alta Taler, for 22 years leader of the senior choir of Oak Hill Ave. church, was honored by a visit from the pastor and a host of others, last Friday evening, Rev. H. B. Payne making the principal address. It proved a very enjoyable experience. Frank Egan was called to Pittsburgh, last week, by her son-in-law, John Scott's death. She has the sympathy of many friends.—Oak Hill Ave. S. S. will visit Centenary S. S., Sunday at 3 p. m., to give a joint program. DAYTON.—What is referred to as "the most extravagant and spectacular event ever to be staged in this man's town will occur within another fortune when this city's 'unofficial' mayor will be crowned amid a scene of oriental beauty at a popular nite spot to be named later." Thus do local "jim-crow Negroes," who came to Dayton since 1917, revel in the sort of thing that has put Dayton's Afro-American population back 25 years. They are the ones responsible for the "jim-crow Y", the forerunner of the local "jim-crow" public school and other segregation, discrimination, color-lines and the like. BEFORE THEY came to Dayton, the city was principal of a public school building in which there were more than a dozen white teachers and very few pupils of color.—Miss Gertrude Brown returned to Minneapolis after spending a month with Mrs. John Anderson.

Taylor, a special investigator for the board of elections, owing to the opposition of Councilman John E. Hubbard has been replaced by a white or rather "grey" Republican. The 18th ward councilman has surely taken on a mighty big load, with the Bryant gasoline controversy, to carry thru his campaign, this fall. The Rounder thinks it is going to be too heavy for him. The various forces in the 18th ward opposing Hubbard are getting together and say they will announce their candidate against him at an early date. Of 780 members of the Republican county central committee (which elected Mayor Davis to the party leader) 70 have city jobs. Of the 33 Republican ward leaders, 23 have city jobs—exclusive of city councilmen who combine their legislative duties with ward leadership. Of the 161uly constituted Republican clubs, the presidents of 111 are on the city payroll. To top that off, the Mayor "loaded" the Republican county executive committee with hand-picked followers, including city officials and employees who have no weight in the party. Therefore he controls the committee. The foregoing shows why it is next to impossible to beat the Mayor for renomination and why it is next to impossible to beat him for re-election with local Democrats divided between three or more candidates, two or three independents. It took only one independent Democratic candidate (Sweeney), less than two years old, to elect and elect Harry L. Davis, mayor, if The Rounder's memory serves him correctly. "VICE CRUSADE." "The Gazette's" Article Commended by Judge J. W. Cormier, man of the Juracy Council. Cleveland, May 3, 1935. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My dear Mr. Smith:—I appreciate the support that your article in the current issue of The Gazette, entitled "VICE CRUSADE," gives toward cleaning up vicious conditions that andanger the morals of school children in this city. The conditions are not confined to any one district of the city, but I am pleased to see your paper take the initiative in dealing with those that exist in the neighborhood of some of your own people. I wish to call to your attention that I was misquoted in the News as saying that only one white person of the persons involved were white and six of them colored. I like the tone of your newspaper, and I am interested in the progress in self-improvement your group are making in Cleveland. Therefore, I am enclosing two dollars for a year's subscription to The Gazette. Will Study for the Ministry. Will Study for the Ministry.

Columbus, O.—In addition to breaking track records, none other than O. S. U. Coach Larry Snyder predicts Jess Owens will step the century in 9.3 and set a new record in the broad jump, this season. The new job for Jess, however, is to put track in the hands of the sports activities, along with football. Twelve thousand fans went to Ohio. stadium, last Saturday night, to see the Cleveland boy lead the Bucks to victory over Notre Dame. Now 12,000 is nothing more than they would expect to get out for a football game opening the season. But 12,000 is a very fine crowd for a track meet, especially when you consider it was conducted on a miserably cold day. Owens' popularity here can hardly be overestimated. Jess will soon start reaping the full reward for his performance. Not only do he go to California in June for Ohio's meet with Southern California and the national collegiate, but after the A. A. U. meet at Lincoln, Neb, will be asked to join the American all-star team that will tour northern European countries in July and August. Joe Knocks Out Stanton Kalamazoo, Mich.—Joe Louis, Detroit's hard hitting heavyweight, knocked out Gene Stanton of Cleveland here, Tuesday night, in the third round of their scheduled six-round bout. A left to the jaw ended the battle and gave Louis his twenty-second victory and his eighteenth knockout. Louis had no trouble putting down the weight dropped Stanton three times in the first round and twice in the second. When the fight was only half a minute old, Louis felled the Cleveland with a left hook, and sent him to the canvas two more times with a shower of rights and lefts. Two right hand smashes accrue from the first and second, the first for a two count, the second for eight. Louis weighed 202 against 215 for Stanton. Louis Negotiates His 17th Kayo. Louis Negotiates His 17th Kayo. Peoria, Ill.—Joe Louis renewed an old acquaintance, last week Friday night, by knocking out Willie Davis, a Chicago Afoon in the second round of a dee-cession bout. Louis scored a technical knockout over Davis in the third round of a bout in Chicago, July 11, 1934. Last Friday night, he beat his own course record by disposing of him early in the second round with a series of left hooks to the jaw. Including this latest victory, Louis has accounted for his seventeenth knockout victory and his twenty-first consecutive triumph since turning to professional battling. Louis weighed 199 $\frac{1}{2}$ pounds, Davis 193. Owens to Receive New Track Award. Owens to Receive New Track Award.

WRONG AGAIN EMPLOYMENT OF THE IDLE OVER CITIZEN RIGHTS of the Cedar-Central and Outhwaite "Certain Gentlemen," the and Our Councilmen PLACES THE EMPLOYMENT OF THE IDLE OVER CITIZEN RIGHTS Racial Segregation of the Cedar-Central and Outhwaite Areas — "Certain Gentlemen," the Mayor and Our Councilmen Max Hayes, editor of the Cleveland Citizen and a member of the Metropolitan Housing Authority, may not know it, but he was certainly wrong in his bitter attack upon Mayor Harry L. Davis and Councilmen Finkle, Payne, Bundy and Hubbard's attitude toward the Cedar-Central housing 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 enough. HE SHOULD HAVE VE TOED IT! Finkle's threat to introduce a repealer for the ordinance, which he carried out, was a perfectly correct proceeding from our viewpoint 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 if 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 punish the members of the majority vote that defeated their efforts to make the federal government give the assurance desired. Hayes said he "disgusted with the obstructionist tactics of the Mayor "and our representatives 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 commenting 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 regret is that he did not feel it sufficiently, deeply and keenly to not only refuse to sign the ordinance, but to veto it as well, KILL IT. Editor 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 employment must be secured as a result of a denial of citizen-rights to more than 80,000 law-abiding American citizen residents of this community. They have rights that he and all others of his kind should be forced to respect, whenever necessary. Dear Mr. Smith:—A marked copy of the *Gazette* containing an editorial, captioned "Editor Hayes Wrong," has been received and contents noted. During upward of two years local advisory groups have contributed their time to be helpful to theeded in the case of the solete and ramshackle dwellings in the Cedar-Central section with modern apartments. But two objectives were in the mind of those public-spirited men and women, and they were to provide, as speedily as possible, better living quarters for hundreds of families in that district and create employment for thousands of people. Similarly idle and slowly sinking into hopeless poverty as a consequence. Now, at the eleventh hour—after the land has been purchased and cleared by the Federal government, plans approved and bids called for to erect the structures—along come certain gentlemen and demonstrate their commitment to the proposed movement. I have no means of knowing at this writing (Monday) whether or not the Federal government officials will permit themselves to be bluffed by this dog-in-the-manger policy and assume a standstill attitude on the Cedar-Central project, and perhaps the Outhwaite section as well. But if so, then let the ward politicians be sure to respect their peace with their constituents, who are robbed of decent housing, and likewise the building interests who will find that the sum of --- EDITOR HAYES WRONG. Cleveland, May 6, 1935. Harry C. Smith, New York City. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will imprint of the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. $6,000,000 allocated for the two projects has gone glimmering. One thing is certain and that is, the age-old racial problem will not be solved whether the Federal government proceeds with or abandons the modern housing plans in Cleveland, O., or any other part of the country. Dear Mr. Hayes:—Some weeks ago, a dispatch from Washington, D. C., announced that the apartments to be built in the Cedar-Central area would be rented to "whites" ("greys" as Clarence Darrow calls them), and those to be built in the Outwash area would be rented to "Negroes," racial segregation new to Cleveland. When Councilman Ernest Bohn went to the Nation's capital and interviewed the officials in charge of the housing "racket" they refused to give out a statement to the contrary. Sixty per cent of the inhabitants of the Cedar-Central area were "Negroes"; forty per cent, poor whites or "greys." For "upward of two years," it has been repeatedly stated by the leaders of "local advisory groups" in charge of the housing "racket" that "families in that district" (the Cedar-Central area) "the lowest income group," would be unable to rent the "better living quarters" to be provided because of the cost of the same. They frankly stated that they could not build apartments the rentals of which would be cheap enough for what they termed "the lowest income group," residents of that area. But that group was dispossessed just the same, turned adrift. "The certain gentlemen" did NOT "inject the racial issue into the proposed improvement." The Government at Washington did THAT. "The certain gentlemen" were simply trying to eliminate it! In so doing they have the undivided support of their constituents and that of every other fair-minded and intelligent citizen in the community who understands the matter. None of their constituents are in any danger of being "robbed of decent housing" in the Cedar-Central area. Nor are they any more concerned about "the building interests" than the latter are about our citizen right to be treated just like all other American citizens will be treated when the new apartments in the Cedar-Central area are being rented. Another "thing is certain, the age-old racial problem (like the labor problem) will not be solved whether the Federal government proceeds with or abandons the modern housing plans of Cleveland or any other part of the country." Doings of the Race Down in Augusta, Ga., the Chinese are recognized as whites and dominate the "Negro" section. Eugene Gordon of The Boston Daily Post, sails, today, for Europe to make a tour of those countries for the Moscow, Russia, Daily News, it is said. S. W. Green, of New Orleans, for many years K. of P. G./C., was reelected K. P. Grand Chancellor of Louisiana, recently. Rev. Amos H. Carnegie, a New York minister who was in Cleveland, some weeks ago, on a tour promoting "jim-crow" hospitals, was labeled "far-fetched," last week, in Texas and encouraged to leave. Mercer University, 500 (Baptist) students (white), Macon, Ga., will defy traditions of the South and dedicate its annual, "Cauldron" ($$.0.00 a copy), to the university cook, a man of color.

The Chicago Defender was thirty years old, May 4, Congratulations and best wishes. 1th —— Several of our newspapers are hinting rather broadly that our only congressman, Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, is a W. F. N. Southern Democratic “crackers” are included fn our mythical organization. ‘The head of the Pitt Medical school of Pittsburgh has declared in favor of a “jim-crow” hospital for that city and is denying our students certain privileges in the same. Our people of that city ought to convince the gentleman that he is in the wrong section of the country, and do all in their power to help get rid of him, —1— ‘The most encouraging business re- port that has come from a responsi- ble source in many months was is- sued by the National Association of ‘Manufacturers, forecasting expendi- ture of 20 billion dollars in factory expansion, renovation annd rehabili- tation, and an outlay of other bil- fons for durable goods—it Congress and the Administration co-operate to. remove legislative obstacles. ——iilh— Notwithstanding New York state's splendid Civil Rights Law, originally a duplicate of our Ohio Civil Rights Law, our people of Harlem, New York City’s “Abyssinia” permitted the Child’s restaurant at 272 W. 26th St., Harlem, to continue to draw a color-line. ‘This same thing is true, in one or more instances, in every large city in the North. Yes, “we area great (7) people.” One of the southern U. 8. Sena- tors’ strongest arguments against the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching ill, killed last week, was that it was an invasion of states rights. For years, The Gazette- has called the NAACP’s attention to the fact that the regulation of mob violence in the several states is a right of said states that the Government could not legally invade. Some day that or- ganization and others will be forced to recognize this fact. 10 Atty. Samuel Leibowitz, of N.Y. City, one of the counsel for the de- fense in the Scottsboro cases, has submitted a formal request to Gov. Graves of Alabama for the pardon of the nine “boy-victims.” Of course, his request will not be granted be- ‘cause it would be political death for the governor to do such a thing. The boys ought to be freed, however. We had hoped that the U. S. Supreme court, in the face of that state's re- fasal to give them a fair trial on its order, would order the liberation of ia tate. ‘Two hundred thousand dollars are asked for the screen rights to “Green Pastures,” the play our poor- ly paid actors made so successful an investment that it is commonly re- ferred to as “a miracle in the show business."" When Richard Harrison, famous “De Lawd” of the play, died a few weeks ago, he left an estate amounting to about $50,000. This after five years with “Green Pas. tures” -and Harrison was never known as a “spender.” Will some of our people ever awaken? Wire the members of “The Green Pastures” ‘company, end ask then. Recently C. Bascom Slemp, a for- mor secretary.to President Coolidge. and years ago a Republican mem)er of Congress from Virginia, has a sult im the U. 8, Supreme Court to re- cover $10,000 and interest from Claudius H. Huston, former chair. man of the Republican Nationa Committee, om a loan made for party purposes in 1929. Slemp claims he Jent the money “for advance funds for preliminary organization ex. penses in Virginia.” This undoubt- edly explains why the commanding “drag” leading southern “white” Republicans had with the party or ganization in every national cam paign and with the Republican ad ministration at Washington that fol. towed. ‘THE SUICIDE BRIGADE. ‘There seems to be a good many people in this ‘country who don’t care much for living but who would be the first to be aghast if you accused them of it. For no reason at all, they are constantly and cheerfully risking their necks—and yours. This group of citizens—who total hun- dreds of thousands—constitutes our reckless, ignorant and irresponsible motorists. Consciously or uncon- sciously possessed of the idea that their abilities are not second to those of the daredevils of the race tracks, they make a practice of driving fast- er than the law allows, even tho they are going nowhere in particular and have all the time in the world to get there. They weave in and out of traffic—it they waited until the roadway was clear for passing, they'd lose a precious second or so. They Grive on the wrong side of the road. ‘They have a contempt for traffic lights and signals, which were obvi- ously created for less gifted mortals. ‘They laugh at the rumored perils of hills and curves, and take extreme pleasure in passing on them. When their brakes go bad and their steer- ing and lighting systems falter, they put off repairs until some distant tomorrow—they'll certainly be able to get by until then without a mis- hap. And so it goes, down the entire Uist of acts of commission and omis- sion that cause our toll of 35,000 au- tomobile deaths per year. The rest of us wouldn't have any kick com- ing if the suicide brigade risked their own lives only—that, after all, would be their prerogative, But they menace us as well—menace everyone and everything which uses the streets and highways. The innocent suffer along with the guilty—and, unless these drivers are curbed, each of us Tuns an excellent chance of being eventually numbered among the vic- tims of the suicide brigade. | THE SEVENTY-NINTH!

Flyer Discovers Lost Landing Gear in Time to Come Down Safely Flying high above the clouds en- ' route from Akron to Columbus re- cently, Ray W.

Your landing gear is gone, Calling Ray Brown in Lockheed NC 539M. You have lost your right wheel.” Leaning out of his compartment, Brown discovered that one of the shock struts and the wheel were dangling in the air, so that an effort to land his fast plane, which had to be set down at a very high speed. meant almost certain death. He immediately turned back to- ward the Akron airport, where he knew an emergency crew would be on hand with fire extinguishers. ‘As he sideslipped the plane in for a gingerly landing, the broken strut slipped back into place and held just long enough for him to come down safely.

Since man, alone of all animals, uses fire, the appearance of smoke was always accepted by primitive man as evi- dence of the presence of another human being. If not self-explana- tory, a column of smoke signified the danger of a potential enemy. If, however, the smoke was seen in some particular place, or appeared in some particular manner, it was a symbol of friendship and, through the use of a prearranged code, could be used for communication, By alternately covering a smolder- ing fire with a blanket and uncover- ing it, the North American Indians broke the steady column of smoke, which rose from it, up into a series of puffs or clouds, the sequence or combinations of which could be used, according to prearrangement, to “telegraph” from place to place, either directly or by the use of relays.

Costigan-Wagner Bill Dead! Washington, D. C.—Introduction of the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill was a call to arms to southern senators and to latent sectional feeling. The southerners set out to kill the bill by filibuster with a determination seldom witnessed in the body. As a result the bill never came to vote. Changes in the Senate's rules can be effected only by a two-thirds vote. Motions to amend the rules are subject to debate. It would be as easy for a sizable minority to block revision of the rules as it was for the southerners to kill the anti-lynching bill.

The total strength of Italian armed forces recently sent to Eritrea and Italian land is between 40,000 and 50,000. The army includes troops already in these colonies at the outbreak of the Italo-Abessinian wary conflict. Something Wrong!

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 fully realizes that OUR VOTE IS USED MERELY TO PUT THE OTHER FELLOW IN OFFICE AND, AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED, AND HE IS CONCERNED, THERE IS THE END UNTIL NEXT EJECTION. 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 in Cleveland is a paper that you can 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 one who has done so, "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 you, and tell me what they are. However, 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. 1920 REFRESHING RELIEF OF CONSTIPATION Avoid constipation! If you disregard its warning and neglect to treat it promptly, look out for sickness! You cannot hope to have good health if you do nothing to prevent or to relieve constipation. Some of its disturbing effects may be— Billious attacks, poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, bad breath, coated nails, itching, red eyes, bloating of the spleen, belching of gas, uneasiness, physical and mental sluggishness, etc. When you need a medicine for constipation, you need to find a better laxative than a NATURAL medicine, like THEDOPRON'S BLACK-DRAUGHT, made out of the leaves and roots of certain highly approved medicinal plants. Black-Draught costs less than most laxative medicines, so you can afford to keep it and take it, when needed. If you are feeling bad, like you might be in need of Thefordron's TREATMENT, you need to feel better. Morrow. Sold in 35-entree packs. How Embarrassing!

Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. THERE are in Mexico nearly 50° tribes and more than 200 lan guages, some differing from other By 10 p. m. distant barking was heard, the canine concert which it variably precludes a Zapotec village and that night the travelers slept o ers as much as French from Chinese. Not until one has wandered about Mexico can one appreciate how incomplete was the Spanish conquest. Only isolated Spaniards and occasional marauding expeditions ever penetrated to southern Oxaca and Guerrero. No wealthy monasteries, sure sign of Spanish infiltration, were ever founded there, and the grandose churches, so striking elsewhere in the republic, are conspicuously absent. Since the coming of the Spaniards this region has remained commercially, culturally and artistically a backwater. Traveling from the town of Oaxaca toward Acapulco on the Pacific coast, three men recently put afoot when their bus "decomposed" at Mitla walked across four racial and linguistic frontiers—the Zapotec, Chatino Mixtec, and Negro. At Tlacolula they were close to yet another tribe, the Mixe, distantly related to the Mayas of Yucatan. Even so, they omitted the Amusgos (Amishgos), Tapanecos, and isolated colonies of Aztecs, all of whom retain "islands" in Mixtec territory. Variety in Everything The physical characteristics of Mexico are as varied as the civilizations. Vegetation and scenery change with almost every league, the enormous variations in altitude enabling one to pass from subarctic to tropical climate in a single day. Sometimes within a few hours are seen eagles from the high mountains and parrots from the tropical jungle. The route of the travelers is unlikely to attract tourists. There is no railway, no road, no hotel, no bed, no butter or fresh vegetables, and the discomfort has recently increased since the virtual destruction by earthquake of nearly half the towns in the region traversed. The white man seldom travels in this region. He is not only excellent bait for the numerous bandits on wilder stretches of the road, but an object of suspicion among quite well-intentioned Indians, who imagine he is searching for gold. They have never forgotten the Spaniards' quest for treasure, and to say you are collecting beetles or studying architecture is to them absurd. They are victims, too, of even stranger traditions, notably that the white man desires to fatten Indians and boll them for lubricating oil, or to steal native babies for similar "reduction" as airplane fuel. For many reasons members of the party deemed it advisable to disguise themselves and to travel as the poorest peons. They emerged from the market of Oaxaca in white and purple trousers, heavy leather sandals, and broad-brimmed hats. Over their shoulders and chiefly for use at night, they carried large woolen Oaxaca blankets, or scrapes—blue, white and black. Their money was carried in stout leather belts, all of it in silver and copper coins, for bills are not accepted in villages where men cannot read their value. Finally, they gathered machetes, a dagger, old flour sacks to contain food, and for water a glass garrison neatly dressed in a straw jacket like a bottle of Chilant. All these "personal effects" were fitted into brilliantly colored string bags. "Ipegasus" and "Pullman." The party set out for Tiacolula, the railhead near Milta, and these invested in two donkeys. Unfortunately, these proved too decrepit to carry both passengers and baggage—a fact not discovered until the bill had been footed and the pathetic animals had been hopefully baptized "Pegasus" and "Pullman." Chiefly for the donkeys' benefit, a donkey-driver, guide, or "porter" was engaged. It is doubtful whether he had ever driven, directed, or cussed donkeys before, since by trade he was a sandal-maker; but he spoke Zapotec and rejoiced in a grandilouet name, perhaps his chief claim to immortality. Under his auspices the donkeys were loaded with four tall cylindrical baskets for the luggage. As the party dawdled out of the sleepy little town of Tiacalula, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and afternoon was in the atmosphere. The market was deserted. Pigs and scraggly dogs of uncertain race and temper sprawled in the dust heaps. Only the grunting donkeys broke the stiffness of slestatime. Soon men and animals were out in the plowed fields with the village behind them, a blue-green gem on the sunburst plain. All around, the horizon was bounded by lofty turquoise mountains. Here and there on the lower slopes stood big white churches with red domes like toy rubber balls sliced in half. In the foreground were vast fields of maguey, in regular lines—an army on parade. By 10 p. m. distant barking was heard, the canine concert which in variably precludes a Zapotec village, and that night the travelers slept on the earthen floor of a windowless adobe house, with a cat and three turkeys as companions. At 4 a. m. they rose and set forth again into the dark. Sunrise found them at the top of a low mountain pass. Before them stretched a wide valley still deep in purple shadow, and in the distance blue mountains with serrated crests bathed in pale golden light. This was the Valley of Ocotlan, a branch of the great Valley of Oaxaca, center of Zapotec civilization. Produce Spread Out. By 8:30 they reached the town, dominated by a domed church, salmon pink and pole jade green. In the market place, beneath striped awnings—some white, some terra cotta, like the sails of Venetian barges—all local produce is spread out. There is milk in plenty, coffee, chocolate, several kinds of bread, and dried fish brought up from the coast by mule and donkey. Oranges, bananas, and pineapples are piled in decorative heaps. Even peanuts and beans, including special white beans, to be eaten on Fridays, are laid out in geometrical patterns, for the Mexican has an inborn sense of design, and nothing is too humble to be arranged with care and displayed as a work of art. This innate artistic sense is specially evident in the hand-and-homemade pottery. Almost every potretains its particular style in pottery, and towns such as Guadalajara and Puebla have achieved a more than national reputation for their wares. One of the party, suffering from headache, approached an herb stall. In a prominent position lay a red-crested woodpecker, which, as the chief cure for heart disease, is as obvious a professional sign to Indians as the barber's pole to us. Lalout on straw mats were starfish, sea shells, rattles from rattlesnakes, birds of brillant plumage, and herbs to cure diseases both human and animal; but, curiously enough, for headache and heartache the cure was identical—two little patches of banana leaf affixed to the temples. In the blazing noonday sun they seeforth again across the treeless plain its monotony relieved by giant cannadelabra cactus and many small artificial mounds, on one of which a man was actually sowing corn. Although this valley is still thickly populated it is no center of civilization, as in the days when Mitta was built and pyramids or temples rose on nearly every hill. Though the party trudged on all day and well into the night, it passed only one hamlet, San Pedro Apostol. Walls of Organ Cactus. Typical of Zapotec villages were defiant walls of organ cactus lining the roadway and barricading every house —impenetrable barriers to all save the lean dogs who squeezed through to get a bark at the approaching cavalcade. Characteristic, too, were the numerous pligs and turkeys, the former "dressed" in wooden triangles to prevent their prying into other people's business, and the latter resplendent with gorgeous blue throat and heads and dazzling white plumage. Turkeys are always to the fore in Mexico. The second night was passed at Ayoqueco, "The Place of Still Tortoises." Here the men slept on the stone floor of a large earthquake-ruined haclaenda along with 15 peons of both sexes, who, swathed its serapes and laid in regular lines resembled recumbent effigies of knights in an ancient church. The following day they left the great Valley of Oaxaca, their trail keeping for a time to the Rio Atoyac; but where this river bends round a mighty limestone bluff the path scales a mountain, then descends abruptly to Sola de Vega. In four hours they climbed this pass, famed for rattle snakes and tarantula spiders. Beyond Sola neither an automobile nor even an oxcar can pass. The precipitous trail to Juquila ascends 2,800 feet, then drops nearly 7,700 feet, only to rise immediately another 8,000. These tremendous variations in attitude form a commercial, racial, and linguistic barrier, beyond which the level of civilization falls considerably. Sola is nominally Zapotec. The next town is Chatino. This high "frontier" pass has typical changes of vegetation. First the travelers climbed through shaded banana groves and fields of sugar cane; then to a zone of cultivated maguey; then at 6,000 feet, to a more temperate zone with oaks and other trees. Finally, perhaps a thousand feet higher they entered a cool forest of long leaf pine, the trees resplendent with white orchids, like candles on a Christmas tree, and gorgeous crimson flower-perched high in the upper branches. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 11. 1935. KNITTED COSTUMES CONTINUE IN VOGUE Plans of Designers Include Formal Creations. The vogue has been partial to styles of smart knitmanship for a rather long time. And indications point to their being even more fashionable during the spring months. The many reasons why knitted suits, dresses, sweaters, bathing suits and accessories are being favored so unmistakably by smart groomed women are quite obvious: Knitwear appears to suit the modern trend, theme, tempo and temperament admirably. It does away with the need of frequent costume changing. A knitted suit or dress has the distinction of being multi-occasional. It makes the wearer appear to good advantage at almost any function but the most formal. And, it is no longer a secret that, behind the scenes, clever designers are busy creating knitted styles of even demiformal and completely formal persuasion. Furthermore, it must be admitted that a knitted suit or dress and, still more particularly, a knitted bathing suit, does set off the figure. Frille (thrill) bouch, zephyr and chenille are the major fabrics exploited in knitwear for the new season. And the most favored colors are grape green, dusty brown, granade mellon, French amethyst, talsman blue, copper tint, fandango rose and Princeton orange. CREPE-PAPER STRAW By CHERIE NICHOLAS Here are two cunning spring chapeaux, the one a new pill-box model, the other a bonnet, the sort which is so popular with the younger set this season. Believe it or not these smart millinery types are crocheted of strips of crepe paper. There is hardly a hat fashion that cannot be copied successfully in crocheted crepe paper. You will feel a thrill of satisfaction and pride to be hatted with a brand new chapeau you have made yourself. Then, too, there is the advantage in crocheting your own hat of matching it to your costume and accessories. New Interpretations*of Redingote Blossom Forth The redingote has suddenly burst forth in a dozen new interpretations. Besides the classic slip of a coat open at the front to reveal the accompanying dress, there is the redingote which buttons from neck to hem, the dolman-sleeved, bloued back version and the collarless, raglan-sleeved type. The dresses worn with them vary from the shirtwist frock to frilly feminine models in prints, pastels or dark colors. One of the smartest of these new ensembles has a navy blue wool redingote edged with cartridge plating, and a tailored dress in an interesting interlocked circle print. Worn with it is a navy straw Breton sailor, navy blue kid ties and gloves. From Heel to Head The rapidly growing fashion for lower heeled shoes will eventually affect a woman's whole costume, even to headgear. Low-heeled street shoes strengthen the importance of the tailored street suit, which in turn calls for a very simple sports hat. FLASHES FROM PARIS White soutache trims many navy costumes. Basque treatments are frequent. Chiffon evening dresses are fashioned of layers in contrasting colors. Berets of black net are shown in the new millinery collections. Sheer redingotes for evening are fashioned with a picturesque flare. Chic Parisiennes wear chamois or pliskin accessories with their spring costumes. The emphasis is on amber as a new color. HOODS ARE FASHION FAD OF THE MOMENT Spring Debutantes Rush for Them Like Mad. Little Red Ridinghood would be up among the winners in the spring fashion parade. For hoodies are the fad of the moment, and the spring crop of debutantes is rushing for them like mad. Hooded evening wraps are to be seen in our best stay-up-late spots this season, recalling the romance of the Far East, or something. These geographical allusions always get us all mixed up. But it seems that the big idea first came from the Hindu girls, who still like to protect their finger waves from the mischievous breezes. It's a good idea, for more than one perfect collar hag has ruined by a brisk ride in an open car of an evening. And now you may simply pull up the hood of your cloak and arrive at the ball as unruffled as if you had just stepped from the hairdresser's salon. MODISH REDINGOTE By CHERIE NICHOLAS I Redingite fashions are in the lead. They have everything to recommend them. From the practical standpoint no wiser investment can be made than buying one of these costumes which include a redingote that later can be worn with most any dress, while the print frock that comes with it will turn out to be one of your most prized possessions, since it will flatter at the same time that it does active service the whole spring and summer through. The model pictured has a frock of red and white crepe. A deep tuck in the skirt gives it the appearance of a tunic dress. The redingote is of black crepe with patch pockets and loose sleeves. Linen Damask Joins Ranks of Summer Evening Gowns No linen closet is safe these days from the demon designers. They've taken everything from bath towels to bedspreads for their fell designs, and now the harassed housewife is going to find her supply of tablecloths badly depleted by a dressmaking daughter. It might be called a linen closet age of fashion. You remember the candlewick dresses and evening coats of last summer resorts. And you've noted the collegeboy bracey for Turkish towel mufflers. It's not hard to see what happened to the family supply of bath towels. And now they've picked on mother's best linen damask tablecloths as the last word for summer evening gowns and spring blouses. Extra Suit Skirt Should Be of Contrasting Fabric When you buy your suit this year— that you will buy a suit goes without saying, for it's a suit year—be sure to order an extra skirt of contrasting fabric. For instance, a separate black skirt to go with a checked jacket, or the other way around. Stripes and cross bars are the most important note in skirts this spring. In the matter of accessories a suit year calls for caution and taste. Don't wear high heels with tailored suits. That goes ditto for nose vels, fussy bags and gloves and very low-necked lacy blouses. Those things all have their place—when you put on your silk afternoon suit.
