There is to be a plenic, track meet, tennis, softball, music and witticism, a tour of inspection, an indoor musicale and inspirational talks.

Felix Jones, Barber, Dead.
Williamby, O.-Felix Jones, age 91, who claimed to have saved a regiment of Union soldiers in the Civil War, found dead at his home here, May 8. A "French Indian" (he said), was a barber here for 50 years. The Indiana Sixteenth Infantry, Jones said, was trapped by the enemy at Franklinville, LA., near his birthplace. Outnumbered, the only enemy swamp. He was familiar with it and led the regiment to safety. Felix for many years, years ago, was a well known barber in Central Ave. (old Garden St.), Cleveland.
Our Boy's Drawing to Be Exhibited
Atlanta, Ga.—Robert L. Neil, a tenth grade pupil of Atlanta University Laboratory school, has been notified that a linoleum black which he carved and which bears the title: "The House on Chestnut street," has been included in an exhibition to be shown at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh. The exhibition, which features so-called carved items by high school students, will be shown, about the country, under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts.
The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING
Get this mouthful, from the Cincinnati Union, Wendell Phillips Dabney, editor: "If our preachers will do less preaching and more teaching, the masses will lose much of the mannerism, ignorance, dirt and vice, that render them so objectionable to other citizens."
"The federal government is actively aiding to keep Washington the 'jim-crow' capital," writes Marguerite Young in "The Masses," N. Y. City. "The Negro intelligentsia and others are all segregated here as in any town in the far South." Where is Kelly Miller?
The Future Outlook League, an organization perfected recently to encourage the employment of our young people, particularly in stores and other places of business, patronized most largely by our people, has a wonderful field in Cedar, Central, Scovill, and Woodland Aves., "to operate in". It wouldn't hurt our local Federation of Women's clubs to do something besides holding meetings and giving social functions,
A goodly number of our local ministers are not in full harmony with the "Negro Board of Trade and Housewives' League" which recently sponsored "Negro Trade Week". Too much "Negro", it seems, and they are right, too. Rev. M. F. Washington, president of the local Baptists' Ministers' Conference, and Rev. Benton White of M. Ziener and King church are among those who have expressed themselves more or less frankly, recently.
Tickets were sold at the garbage plant, last week, for a reception in Thackery Ave., at the 17th Ward Republican club headquarters, last Saturday night, in honor of Supt. Boyden of the plant, and purchasers were given to understand that a tree feed was to be put on social function, it is said. Those of the boys that "bik" (purchased tickets) saw those who ate and drank pay for what they got, and then woken up. The latest "racket."
Some months ago, Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, chairman of the legal defense committee of the local NAACP branch, wrote Sheriff Johnnie Sulzmann, protesting for that organization and our people of the community, the sheriff's racial segregation of prisoners in county jail. Sulzmann admitted it, and that was the last of THAT, it seems. Will someone "awaken" both Chester and the organization? Surely, both must be sound aseep. Start the battle, Chester!
Mrs. Anna M. Banks, E. 84th St. through her attorney, Frank C. Lyons, has filed suit for $500 damages, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law, against the Kresge 5 & 10 cent store, E. 105th St. and Euclid Ave. for refusal of service at its lunch counter, two occasions, on 2. and 2. Mrs. Patty O'Neill of Outwashte Ave., who was with Mrs. Banks, will be her principal witness and can also file suit for refusal of service. It will be best for her to do so, however, at the conclusion of the Banks' suit.
Do you want to run for public office this fall? Here is some information you may find valuable. If you are a candidate for mayor of Cleveland or for the city council, you must file your petitions at the board of elections before 6:30 p. m., Aug. 21. A candidate for mayor needs 3,000 names on his petitions. A candidate for council needs 200. There are no filing fees. The city primary is to be on Oct. 1. The run-off will be
ETHIOPIANS
MASS TROOPS.
Rome, Italy. — The authoritative newspaper Giornale d'Italia, in an article reliably described as officially inspired, says Emperor Haile Selassie is rapidly mobilizing Ethiopian troops close to the fronter of Italy's African colonies. Tens of thousands of men are under arms near the fron-

tier, the newspaper says, and great quantities of war materials, much of it allegedly furnished by Germany, have been supplied the Abyssinians. The newspaper says the emperor has just visited the Harrar zone, one of the alleged concentration points and strategically important because it was the site of the first invasion into Abyssinia, on an inspection tour, Ethiopia's mobilization is of an offensive nature, the newspaper says, because troops are concentrated at points most favorable for an invasion. They are, however, so placed for defensive purposes. Deposits of arms, munitions, anti-gas materials, uniforms, foodstuffs, fodder, and gasoline and hangars for airplanes have been provided. New radio stations and telephone lines have been built. Addis Ababa in touch with frontier posts. A war tax has been imposed and war propaganda against Italy but for defense is being actively conducted.
The Emperor Warns Ethiopia
Will Mobilize Every Man London, England, May 14, 1934 Emperor Halle and he selesteh I will assault of every warrior in his empire, if Italy continues her "war preparations," the Daily Telegraph reported from Addis Ababa today. He was quoted in an interview as asserting that he still hoped the League of Nations, on May 20, would move definitely to war, would attack if the Abyssinian-Italian dispute, growing out of recurrent border incidents in which scores have been killed on both sides in the last six months. "If not, and if the military preparations farther, then we must mobilize," the swarathy King of Kings asserted, "we will accept a state of unofficial war," the Emperor said, "as occurred when Japan carried out her operations in Manchouko."
Britain Still Seeks Peace!
London, England.—Great Britain will continue her efforts to keep Italy and Ethiopia from drifting toward war despite Premier Mussolini's "hands off" dictum of Tuesday. This is also true of France and Germany. In view of Il Duce's speech to the Senate and Ethiopia's latest vote to the league of nations, it was considered virtually certain discussion of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute would take place at the league council session next week.
on Nov. 5, at which the two candidates who received the highest number of votes for each office in the primary oppose each other for election.
The cost of Public hall and Duke Ellington's charge are so large it is a question whether those promoting Wednesday night's dance lost or made money.
There is a sign at E. 84th St. and Cedar Ave, Bryant gasoline station, which reads as follows:
"This man is being deprived of making a living by a Christian church" (St. James A. M. E. church). What is Christianity when it closes this driveway? The preacher who is driving to the church digs a pit to fall into. Councilman John E. Hubbard has made many promises that he has failed to keep. The time is rapidly coming when he will have time to think it over. There is a gas-filling station on each side of Shiloh Baptist church, and one just across the street from Lany Metro-Council C. M. E. church. Neither of these churches nor their pastors are complaining because of the close proximity of the gasoline stations. They are not like the Rev. David Ormond Walker of St. James A. M. E. church.

What NRA Has Done for Us in the Past Two Years— PWA Hurt, Too—"Lily-White" Basis for Homestead Projects.
While we did not expect the New Deal to accomplish a Utopia, we had hoped that as a race we would be able under its operations to maintain the industrial and economic advantages which had been obtained in 75 years of freedom but after two years of its existence we are forced to the conclusion that we are not the ones affecting our interest, has been a detriment and a failure.
This opinion is supported and solidified by a survey made by John P. Davis, one for whom we have great regard, and whose sound judgment and enlightened understanding of economic questions make him an authority. From this survey, now before us, we stand today after two years existence of our industrial and economic advantage enjoyed by us for the last 75 years.
The survey indicates that today nearly one million and a half more black people are on relief than there were in 1933. And yet there are still millions of people who are denied their proper proportion of relief under the operations of the NRA. Black farm owners of the South have been reduced to twenty per cent and their own ownership of land and additional crops to thousands, of them have been re

duced to the status of unpaid servitude.
State officials in many instances in the South have refused to abide by the ruling of the PWA in the payment of wage scale to black workers. Only unskilled work is given to black people in most instances. The social planning of the administration has completely eliminated the interest of black people. Federal funds for the building of federal projects are used in bold discrimination against our group solely on the ground of color.
The much publicised subsistence homestead projects have been and are being planned strictly "on ill white basis." Even in Dayton, Ohio, it is charged that the federal government has extended its "ill white" policies by establishing two "jim-crow" projects for black people. In this it is seen that the new administration seeks to establish its institutional planning嗜饱 ghetto even in the North for members of our race.

Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons in a letter in The Cincinnati Union of last week said "Bert Williams ceased to be a great comedian after the death of George Walker." Positively silly, such a statement. As a comedian Walker was never in Bert's class to begin with. The latter did by far his best work after George passed out.
When a southern Democrat, U. S. senator or other wise, puts his o. k. on a so-called leading "Negro", look out because they rarely ever do such a thing unless the individual o. k.'d is a W. F. N. We are led to express the foregoing as the result of praise of our only congressman, Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, uttered by Senator Hugo Black of Alabama during the debate on the late lamented Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill which is not "lost" but killed deader than "Heck's pup" by southern "crackers" in control of the U. S. Congress and the Roosevelt administration.
Fifty misguided members of the race in Cincinnati, encouraged by prejudiced whites and "jim-crow Negroes" have just petitioned the board of education of that city for another segregated school for their children. What a pity they cannot be shipped back South where they belong and which they never should have left. "Jim-crow Negroes" are simply stonewalls in the path of the progress of our people of this section of the country. They are a "pain and a headache!" For a "Negro" teacher they would trade vitally essential rights and privileges of all our people (thousands) of Cincinnati. LORD, HAVE MERCY!

Since Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of this Episcopal district of the A.M. E. Church is to be in the city, tomorrow (Sunday), our people of this community, not only members of St. John's and St. James A. M. E. churches, should make him see the wisdom and necessity of moving, Rev. David Ormond Walker, St. James pastor, to some other city or town just as soon as possible "for the good and welfare" of St. James church. If he (the bishop) does not do this soon there will not be any St. James A. M. E. church. Bishop Ransom is not the man to hesitate once he is convinced that the best interests of the great A. M. E. Church will be best served by Walker's removal. Get busy!
FREEDOM OF PRESS, SPEECH.
In a recent speech before the Associated Press, Secretary of the Interior Ickes devoted his principal emphasis to a discussion of freedom of the press, of speech and of assemblage. He held that any effort to circumscribe them would be extremely dangerous, and said: "Any attempted legal restraint, however wisely applied, would be far worse than excesses of free expression, even though the freedom exercised bordered on license. Too much freedom is better than even a little restraint imposed from the outside, because excesses, if indulged in, will in the end either cure themselves or kill themselves." That statement is of exceptional importance, for two reasons: First, it comes from a high government official, who has himself been subjected to a great deal of criticism. And, second, it comes at a time when other and lesser officials are showing themselves to be exceedingly thin-skinned in the face
of any criticism, no matter how constructive, of their work or their ideas, and are obviously eager to effect censorship of dissenting voices. Free speech, free assemblage, and freedom of the press are the most important cornerstones of democratic government. The best friend dictatorship has is the power to forbid, to censor, to demand that a certain thing be said—and nothing more or less. A thousand commentators have written of the pitiful press of such countries as Germany, Russia and Italy, where each newspaper is regarded as the personal organ of the dictator of the moment—and where an erring editor is disciplined with fines, imprisonment, exile. Mr. Ickes brought out still another fine point in his speech, when he said: "Free economic enterprise, free political institutions, and the free speech of which the free press is a part, are one and inseparable. Ordinary man is not so constituted that he can think or speak for himself when he is hopelessly dependent for his daily bread upon the tyranny of a super-industry, or the tyranny of a super-state." The Secretary of the Interior is to be praised for speaking so forcefully and so frankly on one of the burning issues of the time.
A WARNING!
More than forty years ago when the editor of The Gazette was serving his first term in the Ohio Legislature a delegation of our Columbus people called upon him and insisted that he do all in his power to stop the Ohio Assembly biennial appropriations for the State Department of Wilberforce University. Something we refused to do. They feared it would hurt the mixed schools of the state. "A hint to the 'wise'", having reference to those members of the faculty of Wilberforce University who think they are, and others, and who for about two years have been quietly working to unload the institution on the state of Ohio for a "jim-crow" state school, something not wanted by the people of Ohio, including ours, of course. As it stands now, and has always been, Wilberforce University is open to ALL without reference to race or creed. This is not generally known, it seems, especially to the "jim-crow" members of its faculty added in recent years. Then, too, the laws of Ohio forbid just such discrimination as they are quietly trying to foist upon our people of the state.
What is the greatest menace to the progress of our people generally, today, is the "handkerchief-head Negro," the "Uncle Tom" and his kidney, who would "turn back the hands of progress" and set the entire race back twenty-five, or even fifty years, if it would help them attain some benefit. Our cash benefit. Our conferee, Editor Abbott of The Defender, last week referred to such hybrids as "montebanks." They are worse! If the "Wilberforceans" and their "jim-crow" assistants do not cease their foolish efforts, as far as Wilberforce University is concerned, then there will be nothing else for our sane and sensible people of Ohio to do but to advocate moving the institution down South where it really belongs and insist upon a termination of the Ohio State Department until the State Department at Wilberforce. And this latter will not be hard to get, these economic depression days. A warning!
JOURNALISTIC "SAPS"!
Editor Webster L. Porter of the East Tennessee News is clearly within his rights in taking to task our long-time friend and former newspaperman, Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens & Southern Bank and Trust Co., of Philadelphia, for seeking a little free advertising for his Haitian Coffee & Products Co., a new business enterprise. Among the things, Editor Porter well said were:
"The greatest handicap encountered by 'Negro' publishers is the widespread tendency of all classes of readers to advertise their wares and interests without paying the price of advertising matter. The church group, more especially, arrange their benefit funds. They pay the grocer, the chef, decorator and every other agency that has a part in their schemes. Then an extension write, the planned Hair is sent to the newspaper with the simple request 'please publish', the promoters never for one time proffering a single cent to defray the expense of publishing."
The foregoing is too true, and The Gazette has been getting "a general panning" locally for years for refusing to accept such stuff, like most of its contemporaries do. As a matter of fact, Brother Porter, our publishers who use the stuff you refer to, and others, show a painful ignorance of the business and really are not entitled to any sympathy. So do not be too hard on our old friend Major Wright, former editor and publisher, for taking advantage of a good thing furnished by our journalistic "saps."

To "Trim" Carrera in Five Rounds.
New York City—Joe Louis, Detroit's heavyweight champion hope, came to New York, Wednesday, with the flat prediction that he will stop Primo Carrera within five rounds when they meet at the Yankee Stadium late next month.
"I've never seen Carrera in action," said Louis, "but I've carefully studied pictures of some of his fights and they told me enough to convince me I can finish him in five rounds or that's. That's my story and I stick to it."
The six-feet-one fighter de luxe, just turned 21 and sporting eighteen knockouts in twenty-two fights, was the toast of Harlem, the world's largest Afro community, Wednesday night. Yesterday he began a week's engagement at a Harlem theater before getting down to serious training for his fifteen-round engagement with the ponderous Italian. As a matter of fact, Louis is in pretty fair shape now. He keeps that way.

Talks 23,000 Miles in
Record Hookup
The human voice traveled around the world for a new distance and time record recently when Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, talked over a 23,000 mile telephone and radio circuit to T. G. Miller, a vice president of the company. Their voices covered this tremendous distance in a quarter of a second
WALTER S. GIFFORD
S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, talked over a 23,000 mile telephone and radio circuit to T. G. Miller, a vice president of the company. Their voices covered this tremendous distance in a quarter of a second.
The Telephone circuit was the longest ever established. The route of the call was through San Francisco, Java, Amsterdam, London, and back to New York.
Passes Into Tomorrow
In crossing the international date line far out on the Pacific, the voices of the speakers went from today into tomorrow and then back into today again. In New York, where the call was made, it was half past nine Thursday morning. At San Francisco the clocks read 6:30 a.m.
As the voice of the first speaker sped across the Pacific the clocks in Hawaii had just struck 4 a.m. Farther out in the western Pacific, ship's bells were striking once, indicating 12:30 a.m. Friday. In Java, the voice got back to Thursday and when it flashed through London, the hands on Big Ben pointed to 2:30 p.m. It arrived back in New York at a quarter of a second after 9:30 a.m.
National radio networks, such as the NBC "Red" and "Blue" chains, derive their names from colors used on maps to designate the hook-up of telephone circuits required to carry programs to stations on the network.
O. O. McIntyre Is "O.O." in Hometown
Gallipolis is planning a warm homecoming this summer for its most illustrious son, O. O. McIntyre, New York newspaper columnist. After "winning success in the big city," the famous Ohioan returns to "the old home town" for a vacation. To add a touch of hospitality, his new summer home "Gatewood" in Gallipolis has been listed in the local telephone directory under "O. O." as McIntyre is affectionately known among his boyhood friends.
The telephone number of the White House was No. 1 in 1878. It was one of the first five telephone lines connected with the switchboard placed in service in Washington on December 1 of that year, two years after the telephone was invented.

Mechanical Voice Enables 25 Ohioans to Talk Again
Poor, At Ducking, But A Smart Duck
LITTLE LIGHT that wouldn't go out and a telephone operator who used her wits saved the lives of George P. Rentschler and his daughter of Hamilton, O.
A conversation had been in progress on the Rentschler line which terminated under a little light on the telephone exchange switchboard. Miss Vera Rieman, operator of the Cincinnati and Suburban Bell Telephone Company, knew from her signals that one party had replaced the receiver, but the other receiver remained off the hook.
She tried to get response on the line. No one answered. She did hear a peculiar sound, however. It might have been someone breathing heavily or mechanical trouble on the line, but she took no chances.

25 Ohioans
Artificial Device Made by
Phone Engineers Replaces
Real Larynx
During the last five years, modern science has restored the power of speech to 25 Ohioans, whose voice organs have been removed because of malignant throat infections.
Until recently the removal of a person's larynx, the voice box that enables humans to create sounds, left the victim a mute, unable to utter a sound or speak a word. But the Bell Telephone Laboratories developed a simple little device that gives back the power of speech to those who undergo operations for the removal of their larynges.
Connects With Windpipe
The device, known as the artificial larynx, performs this miracle by affording a mechanical substitute for the human organ of voice. It consists of a small vibrating reed mounted in a tubular container. A small rubber hose connects with an opening in the user's neck, permitting air to pass through it, causing the reed to vibrate. Another small hose on the other end of the container is held in the mouth, enabling the user to speak by forming words in the usual way.
After a little practice a person using the artificial larynx can speak almost as distinctly and fluently as an ordinary person. One of the users, C. J. Winkler of Lakewood, speaks so well that he can be understood easily over a telephone or from a lecture platform. He has talked before many large groups to demonstrate the efficiency of his artificial voice.
Two of the Ohio users are women and they are equipped with treble pitch instruments that closely imitate the natural feminine voice. Men

MISS LILLIAN HEMLER
Assisted by the night chief operator, Miss Lillian Hemler, she telephoned a neighbor and asked him to investigate. He found Miss Rentschler unconscious beside the telephone and her father slumped on a davenport in an adjoining room.
Filled with carbon monoxide gas from the furnace, the house was like a lethal chamber. The daughter had been overcome at the conclusion of her conversation and her friend on the other end of the line had hung up, not suspecting that anything was wrong.
Rentschler had heard his daughter fall, but was overcome by the gas before he could reach her. It took more than an hour to revive them, but thanks to Miss Rieman's quick thinking, they are alive today.

The artificial larynx is a by-product of the telephone industry. It was developed by telephone engineers who were more interested in the study of the human voice than in inventing a new speaking device.
When its value as a substitute for a real larynx was realized, however, it was made available to the public.
In Ohio, these instruments are distributed through The Ohio Bell Telephone Company and the Cincinnati and Suburban Bell Telephone company.
It is estimated that there are about 1,500 persons in the United States who could use this device to regain their voices.

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 Court has several times upheld 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.

(93 v. 161 2.) comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share.

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 rigit of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (92 v. 162 8.)

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an immature eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor 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 per-aggrieved thereby to be recovered in 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.

As a star of five, Shirley Temple,
America's darling of the screen, has
developed a sense of humor.
During the filming of "The Little
Colonel," in which she is co-starred
with Lionel Barrymore, the task of
filming the expansive stair-dance
proved a slow and tedious process
Shirley became tired and bored. Director David Butler decided to "intrude on pep."
"Shirley you should enjoy this, for you are working with the world's greatest tap dancer."
After this compliment to Bill Robinson, of stair-dance fame, the director appealed to Shirley's humor. Expanding his chest, he exclaimed, "and you are working with the world's greatest director."
Shirley smiled, then laughed with
glover. The man shouted, "Yes, and you guys ought to remember that you are working with the world's greatest little actress."
"The Little Colonel," a Fox Film, will play at the Quincy Theatre on May 23, 24 and 25. The splendid supporting cast includes Evelyn Venable, John Lodge, Sidney Blackmer, Alden Chase, and others. A concluding sequence is shown in Technicolor.

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

There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything without thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

Ants
Fighting Ants With Smoke in Brazil.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society. to the farmers' crops. In this case Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
THE word "ant" in Japanese consists of two complex characters. The first character means "insect"; the second, "unselfish, justice and courtesy." In other words an ant is "an unselfish, just, courteous insect."
That is a delightful compliment, and many species may deserve it; but there are ants as savage and ruthless as the ancient Huns or Mongols—ants that devote their lives to foraging in vast armies, destroying the nests of others, and killing all insects and animals in their way.
There are queen ants that enter a foreign colony, ingratiate themselves with the citizens, foully murder the true queen, and usurp her place. There are ants that raid the nests of their neighbors and kidnap their young as slaves.
Some, high in the scale of ant civilization, make their own gardens and grow their own special food. There are ants that keep "cows"; others that gather and store honey in barrels made from living nest-mates; still others that use their young as spools of silken thread in making nests.
In sheer numbers, too, the ants challenge imagination. Their legions outnumber those of every other land creature in the world, except possibly some minute forms of life. So far, some 8,000 species, subspecies, and varieties have been collected and painstakingly classified.
ed to studying ants in all regions of the world bears witness to their magnetic appeal to the interest of man.
Thus there have been published monographs on the ants of Madagascar and of New Caledonia; catalogues of the species which inhabit Brazil, Chile, Switzerland, Connecticut, and the peninsula of Baja California. One huge volume concerned with the ants of the Belgian. Congo alone contains 1,130 pages.
Even the ants that crawled on the earth three million years ago live again in the pages of voluminous books, because their bodies happened to be entombed and preserved in the following resin of prehistoric pines, now known to science as the "Ballic amber."
The common little yellow house ant takes readily to life on shipboard, and so has traveled to all parts of the world. It takes kindly, also, to heated houses, and so although a tropical ant, it thrives in northern countries and has become a pest everywhere.
One of our lawn ants, Lastus niger, in its several varieties spreads itself throughout the entire northern hemisphere, where it damages the golf greens of Washington, D. C., as impartially as it does the temple gardens of Japan. It is one of the most abundant single species of insect.
Some warm day, preferably after a shower, find a nice, flat stone on a sunny hillside and turn it over. There probably will be an ant nest beneath it—a series of channels leading from one cavity to another. Worker ants rush about, excited at the sudden uncovering of their home. One, very much larger than the others, is the queen, or there may be several of them if the colony is a large one. If there are males, they are present only during the mating season; they are usually much smaller than the rest, generally dark in color and wearing large wings.
Piles of larvae and pupae, a few of them unusually big and destined to become females, will be whisked below out of sight while you are watching. If you look closely, you may see the eggs, little clusters of tiny white specks adhering together. The "ant eggs" of commerce are not eggs at all, but pupae of the large red ant. The cooons, from which adult ants soon would emerge, are gathered in large quantities in Europe and dried and exported, to be used as food for goldfish and captive soft-billed birds. At zoos a few of them are put in custard fed to the anteaters.
In our nest under the stone there may be one or more reddish beetles stalking slowly about among the ants. These are guests or parasites. Often they have a strange hold upon the affections of their hosts. They beg liquid food regurgitated from the communal crop, or storage stomach, of the ants, which sometimes so neglect their own young to pamper these insidious sponges that the colony becomes debilitated and dies out.
On the roots of plants in the passages there may be plant lice, or aphids and cocciids, the "cows" of the ants. As the weather gets warmer, the lice will be taken out and "pastured" on the roots of other plants, sometimes on Indian corn, where they do much damage

to the farmers' crops. In this case, ants are an accessory to the fact. It is the aphid that does the harm, but the damage is greatly exaggerated by the ants' tender care.
By a smoking process similar to milking, the ants obtain from the plant lice a highly valued food substance, honeydew. This is the sweet sap of plants after it has been sucked out and passed through the bodies of the tiny insects, most of which take more than they can absorb.
As this forms the chief food of many ants, they tend and protect their cows' ascicientiously) as do any pastoral people. Sometimes they even build sheds of carton, a papery substance, on the trunks of trees to shelter them. At the approach of cold weather the ants sometimes gather them into their nests on plant roots, taking them out to pasture again when the danger of frost is over and their proper food plants are growing.
One Point in Common.
All ant colonies have one point in common. The members, excepting, of course, guests, parasites, and other intruders, are all children of a widow queen who has left the home nest on her nuptial flight. After mating high in the air, the male always dies, as he falls to earth far from the home nest and is helpless without workers to care for and feed him. The female, however, has marvelous resources within herself, and all alone she establishes a home and a family of her own.
After fertilization the queen creeps into some cranny beneath bark or under a stone; sometimes she constructs a small shelter of crude paper made by chewing bark from a tree. Now she lays her first eggs. During the time when she was a larva and a newly hatched female in her home nest, she had been constantly cared for and even pampered by the workers of the parent colony. Special foods were given her.
From now on there is no further use for wings, so she scrapes or bites them off. The wing muscles disintegrate and add to the stored-up food which she is able to feed her first babies by regurgitation. The first hatched are runs and weaklings, but ants, nevertheless. Their instinct is fully developed and they go to work collecting for their mother and for their new and constantly appearing sisters.
An ant colony has been created. The queen, her troubles over, becomes a mere egg-laying machine, carefully fed and protected by her children.
Although practically all ant colonies are founded by a lone female, there are some extraordinary exceptions. One is Carebara, an ant of Asia and North Africa, noted for being a great enemy of the "white ants," or termites, on which it feeds.
Takes Help With Her.
When the mother-to-be Carebara goes on her honeymoon, a number of the almost microscopic workers attach themselves to her legs by their jaws, and in this way are with her to be of help when she starts the new colony.
Extraordinary and somewhat piratical methods of establishing colonies are followed by the females of some ants, usually species not physically capable of caring for their own first brood. One kind steals into the nest of a related species, hurriedly seizes and makes a pile of the pupae already there, and fiercely defends them from their rightful owners. When adult ants emerge from these pupae they are loyal to their kidnapper mother and, antlike, commence to care for her eggs and for the young hatched from them. This results in a mixed colony of two species.
A few species of western ants of the genus Formica have very small females, thickly covered with soft yellow hair. Entering a colony of another, though closely related, species, they so ingratiate themselves with the workers that they are adopted and the rightful queen is murdered by her own progeny, who devote the rest of their lives to the new queen and her young. The original inhabitants eventually die off leaving their native nest entirely in the possession of the usurper and her brood.
In north Africa a fertile queen of the "decapitating ant" (Bothriomyrmex decapitans) will fly to a nest or Tapinoma, a much larger ant, and loiter around the entrance until Tapinoma workers selze her. They take her into the nest but for some reason do not eat her; whereupon she climbs onto the back of the rightful queen and saws at her neck until the head falls off. Then the Tapinoma workers adopt her and care for her eggs and young until the nest is populated only by the offspring of the regicide.
More males and females are produced; queens fly away, find another nest of Tapinoma, and repeat the process.

Shoppers Seek Personality Styles

years—colors that make blonds look anemic and anise or tones and tints that cause brunettes to lose glamour—hats with impossible head sizes, too little for the unhobbed, too big for shorn locks—well, what of it, why paint so crude, so unkind a picture?
Merely by way of contrast, dear reader, for the new spring and summer fashions are a direct denial to everything we have said in the foregoing paragraph. What is actually happening is that our fashion experts have sensed the need of gently, firmly and subtly leading women in the direction they should go in the fine art of dress.
Which is why we are hearing so much these days in regard to the outstanding importance of personality fashions.
Among our modern fashion educators personality in dress ranks as a theme of major importance. Have you not noticed the signs of the times yourself? The courtesy and class-you-attigance manner with which you are ushered to the moment you step foot in a fashion emporium? This is, indeed, a happy era which is dawning for shopkins in that dress-designers and coat and suit makers have become that personality-conscious they are making it their goal to create fashions that will tune perfectly to each and everybody's particular type. The modes here pictured are an outgrowth of this noble endeavor. They silence the lament of the middle-aged and matron who for years have been voicing complaint that they are not having a "fair deal" when it comes to clothes they "can wear," and that all the attention is concen-
THE FILM OF "THE LOST WEEK"
The smartest women in this country as well as abroad are wearing vivid nail polish with lipstick to match. Reports from Paris and St. Moritz say that the really chic women there are matching theirs in red and yellowish red shades. Trick effects such as metallic combinations and odd color schemes have disappeared. The most fashionable colors are coral, cardinal, ruby and the "natural" which is the lightest of the yellow reds. Most Parisian beauticians prefer to cover the entire nail with polish instead of outlining the moon and tip. Some fashionable New Yorkers follow this mode, while others prefer the trim look which white moons and tips achieve. The young woman pictured has that look of distinction which perfect grooming always gives. She appreciates the enhancement which artfully colored lips and fingertips add to a chile ensemble. Notice the costume jewelry set which she is wearing. It includes a clip on her stitched crepe hat with a duplicate clip at her throat and a bracelet to match.
"A "LUMP, fair and forty" lady who is "d all dressed up" in a kittenish, flapper way—youth clad in fashions sophisticated beyond its
demands of gentlewomen who have graduated into the alumnae of fashion's smart set.
These stunning models for the up-to-moment-in-style matron were selected for our illustration from among a galaxy of fascinating styles as shown during a "personality fashions" revue which the Chicago wholesale market council presented at a midwest conference gala dinner. The fashion themes included clothes for the youthful matron, for matrons more advanced, for slender girlish ingenee types, for the larger young woman, for the outdoor and sports girl, for tall blond types and for medium-tall brunettes. The moral to this story on personality fashions is, if while en tour in the shops fashion-seeking you do not see what you want, ask for it. It's there tuned to your individuality, simply awaiting your call.
Describing the trio of fashionable costumes for the matron as here pictured, the model to the left is a travel and street outfit especially designed for the youthful matron. It is tailored of a brown and white "broken-check" tweed in standard English cut. It may be worn equally well with dark or light accessories.
The street ensemble to the right of navy and white print silk with check sheer redingote coat is designed along simple slenderizing lines. The sailor hat adds charm.
Centered in the group is an ultra chic ensemble for the mature woman to wear to afternoon club functions or smart country club affairs. It is fashioned of a white sheer material with white and black stripe trimming.
BUTTONS ON SUITS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
On account of the importance of buttons this season many stores are devoting extra space to their display. The types of buttons in favor are legion. Novelty enters largely into the scheme of things. Very new and chic for the dressy blouse or frock are stars cut out of mother of pearl or set with tiny rhinstones. Clever, too, and exceedingly attractive are the new flower buttons made of an ivory-like composition and tinted realistically. The buttons which enhance the good-looking suit pictured are woven of green straw. The cloth which fashions this softly tailored two-piece has the smooth finish for which best designers are expressing preference. The coat front may be thrown open in a way to achieve big revers. Many of the smartest dresses and coats sport huge revers this season.

ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG-SHAP, JACOB RUPPERT (via Mackay Radio)—And now we are at Balboa, in Uncle Sam's Canal Zone—practically home. The Byrd Expedition will soon be behind me. And what I've been through—mentally, spiritually, physically!
Already that 14 months of ice isolation in the world's coldest, most dangerous and most disagreeable health resort seems a part of the far distant past. It has done me a world of good in every way — broadened my mind, made me more tolerant, made me face dangers without fear, put 10 pounds of solid muscle on my body and given me a marvelous appreciation of hot water, soap and a good scrubbing brush. The long, tiring labor of establishing camp, the velvety black and gray of the endless winter night and finally spring bringing the sunshine and with it a whirlpool of activities, tractor trips, plane flights and our blessed ships once again. I look back on all this and it seems like a strange dream I must have had. Those months of isolation, however, have left an impression than can never be dulled.
Just a few months after leaving college I joined the Expedition and became an insignificant part of a great adventure. For weeks I wandered around like a lost soul trying to find myself, trying to adjust myself and my viewpoints to an entirely new set of conditions. Finally, through the assistance of Commander Noville, my boss, and other Expedition officers, my program was laid out and has been followed without change. Today I know more about automotive equipment and the fuel and lubricants for it than I ever dreamed I'd know. After settling into my routine of work and all through the winter night I had a chance to study my

I look in my diary and read over the entries made early last year. Now they seem inadequate and grossly unfair. Strange to say, I wasn't lonesome. My days were full of heart-breaking work and astonishing hazards and experiences but nevertheless profitable. In the evenings I read good books, wrote up my diary or went to the movies. That amazing thing, the Ross Ice Barrier, interested me, took possession of me. I craved a solution of its mystery, what it is, where it came from. My clearest memories are those of the hours I spent alone on skis away from the camp looking out over the unbroken expanse of ice covering the Ross Sea in the mysterious gray of the winter night.
During the long months of darkness naturally there was some discontent among us. Let the work slacken up a little. Let the men loaf a while or assign them to unnecessary jobs and immediately unhappiness and irritability set in. The answer to that problem seemed to be work, work and more work. The men were super-sensitive. They felt they were making a sacrifice. After all, cutting one's self off from civilization, home friends, comforts is a sacrifice Talking seemed to be the sole relief. We discussed every subject under the sun, scientific or humorous, vulgar or spiritual. The men with the best sense of humor, the least petty and critical attitude and the greatest control over themselves finally emerged as the out standing characters and gained the respect of their associates.

get away. Most of the men were found to have annoying, petty and unadmirable attitudes at times.
It was wonderful to have radio contact with the outside world, to hear from friends and relatives, to read the daily radio press items. Our immediate interests were down there on the ice but we know we would eventually come back to the whirl of civilization and that other things would become our primary interests. Things got so monotonous at times that it was a pleasure to visit the cow barn down under the snow. At least the odors there were totally different from those of this or any other conventional polar expedition. Those barnyard smells fairly reeked of rural civilization in the springtime and the gentle, sad-eyed cows offered a soothing contrast to the howling winds and hard conditions under which we were living.
I shall never forget the amusement, pity and dramatic interest. I felt in watching the penguins, the mother seals and their pups, the whales and the petrels. Seeing how perfectly at home they were in their icy surroundings I realized how out of place we were, how insignificant and helpless. But we were there for a definite purpose—to seek knowledge. There is a feeling of satisfaction among all of us in knowing that we have taken part in an adventure seldom tried before and that we have accomplished things of really tremendous value to science. There can be no doubt of that. The public at home may have lost interest in us and may wonder what value our expedition has had. But the scientific world knows that we have done a grand job under great disadvantages and with results that will be of benefit to all of mankind. And that's something, isn't it? So long.
