E. church member, James Judy, says he used to go into the Heights and get donations of $5 to $25 for that church when the present pastor first came. Now the same people won't give him a cent, some because the pastor, Rev. David Ormond Walker, continues to "knock" a man of his own race who is trying to make a difference for him in the gasoline station, cor. E 84th St. and Cedar Ave.—the Bryants' Three of the four potential Democratic-candidates for the mayorality nomination, this fall, Messrs. Gorman, Reynolds and Curry, Cuyahoga County commissioners, are already in trouble, not of a political nature. Even so, the Rounder regards this action as a bad omen. George Cummings, 2328 E. 88th St., an employee of the Marshall Drug Co. for 12 years, has entered suit, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio anti-lynch law, against them (the County) for "5,000 and all costs of action" as the result of a bad beating a mob gave him, Sunday noon, May 11, 1953, at E. 86th St. and Hough Ave. As a result, Cummings spent five days in Mt. Sinal hospital taken by an ambulance, is still being taken by a civilian and is unable to work, he says. Cummings asserts that the mob of "greys" was formed to exercise "correctional power" over him and "lynch him," but does not state what he did, or was alleged to have done, that caused the assembling of the mob. Hon. Chester K. Gillespie is his attorney. At St. John's Civic Club's forum, Sunday day, Marc J. Grossman, chairman of the Cuyahoga County Relief Administration, spoke. He urged higher relief standards and better consideration of those on relief (especially our people). This latter HE could see to—if he would. The Rounder expected him to say something in explanation of the fact that he gives good paying jobs as workers (or visitors) to the wives of Charley White, assistant director of law; Perry Jackson, assistant police prosecutor; Selby Minor, assistant county prosecutor and others, all of whom are being paid good salaries, and it is not necessary for their wives to work. Then, too, this affords small families, of two or more persons, two salaries or paying jobs to each family, and thousands of people regularly because of lack of employment. How about it, Mr. Grossman? It's high time to put an end to such injustice! Music, Sunday evening, was furnished by St. John's senior choir, with James Lemon as organist. The arrangement-committee included Atty. John E. Ballard, Peyton Lemon, Sam Perry and Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Grayson. A BRITISH LORD Warns Mussolini to Keep His Own League Vows—Italian Soldiers Mutiny. London, England.—Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, attacking Premier Mussolini for his Ethiopian policy, declares Italy could not fairly criticize German rearmament if she ignored her own league of nations vows. "It is impossible to claim respect for the collective system in the north and flout it in the south," said Lord Cecil, who is president of the League of Nations union. "Nor can a unilateral breach of part five of the treaty of Versailles (the military clauses) be justly con- Emperor Haile Selassie. demned unless equal sanctity is admitted for part one, which contains the covenant of the league." Cecil directed Italy's attention to the fact that Mussolini had adhered to the Stresa resolution supporting "collective maintenance of peace within the framework of the league of nations." The circumstances of the Italo-Ethiopian situation, said the famous advocate, cause him to look "anxious" regarding signing of the league council." A hurry from the foreign office to discuss the situation, particularly as it affects the league of nations, sent Sir Eric Drummond, British ambassador to Italy, off post-hast from Rome last night. The British government, it was generally believed in Rome, has two reasons for its reluctance to see war break out between Italy and Ethiopa, one the 1906 treaty, whereby England, Italy and France guaranteed Ethiopia's independence and the fact that the nation is a member of the league, a conflict hence holding peril for the prestige of the Geneva institution. Mutiny in Mussolini's Ayssinian Campaign! On April 19, 300 young Fascists in the Oberdan barracks in Milan refused to "volunteer" for African service. They were severely disciplined. A popular protest was staged in the province of Como. Gendarmes broke up the meeting, arresting the leaders. Giustitia e Liberta reports from Bologna that a division of the "Gavignana" troops, about to leave for Africa, mutined at Pistoia, near Florence. This resistance is probably the reason why two divisions, "Gavignana" and "Peloritana" called in February have not all embarked for Africa. Despite widespread unemployment, in Italy, considerable difficulty is reported in the movement to Africa. The work of building bridges, roads, etc. in preparation for the expected war against Abyssinia, is hazardous; drought, malaria and blistering heat have decimated the ranks of soldiers and workers. Doings of the Race Texas has just appropriated $200,000 for a tubercular hospital for "Negroes." According to the U. S. census of 1930, there are 47,818 of our people in Cincinnati, a little more than half the number in Cleveland. The NAACP announces that its Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching campaign cost $2,223.01 which leaves a deficit of $968. Atty, Armond W. Scott (Dem.) has been confirmed by the U. S. Senate as successor to Municipal Court Judge James A. Cobb at Washington, D. C. Walter White, secretary of the NAACP, ought never to have accepted President Roosevelt's appointment to membership in the Virgin Island council he has just resigned. A $10,000 claim on Constable W. A. Morant of the circuit attorney's office at St. Louis, Missouri, for forfeited bail-bonds, was settled last week on payment of $2,000 cash.

HAVE SOUTHERN "CRACKER" MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CAPTURED HIM. SO SOON? A Washington Correspondent's Alleged Interview Startling—Our Correspondents "Jim-Crowed" in U. S. Senate. Washington, D. C.—Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, who replaced Oscar DePriest, does not "represent a colored district of Chicago" because "I couldn't represent my race here (in Congress) any more than any other Congressman does. It's not my fault if I happen to be colored," he told Marguerite Young (she says), a Washington correspondent, in an interview appearing in the New Masses, N. Y. "I'd be a mighty big fool talking about Negroes around here." She further quotes him as saying, "Why, I got more than two white votes to one Negro vote. These are facts the public should know. And I don't represent a Negro district. There are 9,000 Italians in my district and 1,000 Chinese! And, more important, my district takes in all of the Chicago Loop. You know, that she was the white district, the richest district in Chicago, the banks, the hotels, the office buildings." The interview with Congressman Mitchell was obtained by Miss Young as part of the second installment of her series in New Masses, N. Y. City, on "Washington-Jim-Crow" Capital." Congressman Mitchell also admitted he was correctly quoted when a newspaper printed his assertion that time fighting out the question of whether a Negro may eat his lunch at the capitol or whether he may be shaved in the Hous barber shop. There is GOV. DAVEY'S "EMPTY HONOR" --- recognizing "Jim Crow Day" at California Exposition — The Laura White Testimonial— Personal Mention. WILBERFORCE, O. — Gov. Martin L. Dave has appointed Dr. L. L. Rodgers of Cleveland, Dr. Eugene Clarke of Toledo, and President R. R. Wright of Wilberforce, a committee to represent our people of Ohio "National Negro Day," at the Pacific International Exposition, San Diego Calif., Aug. 24. If they accept the role and are hired, and they will do so at their own expense since no appropriation for the same has been made by the State Assembly.—In appreciation of Miss Laura White's charitable work, helping many needy students and others, a number of friends presented her $50.25. Miss White, who has been in the employ of the institution for years, has withdrawn temporarily to attend the school. I is hooked that she will soon be able to return and resume her work.—Messrs. Henry Talbert and Coyett Ford of Detroit, two old Wilberforceans, were here, last week. Alma Thaia Lorof Dayton was the guest of Miss Ruth Woodson, the first of the week.—Mrs. Lillian Ross Thomas, class of 9, teacher — Atlantic City, N.J. J. Roberts — Amity Plum Society of Wilberforce University, held its annual initiation and banquet in Arnett Hall, last week Thursday evening. "could practically be scrapped out out appreciable loss to anyone." Albert L. Turner, a member of the faculty of Tuskegee, Ala., Institute and a member of the varsity debating teams of Western Reserve university, 1921-1922, has just been elected a member of Delta Sigma Pho—national debating fraternity. This is a result of the recent elimination of the word "Negro" from the fraternity constitution. FERA AND NRA DISCRIMINATION The FERA and NRA code differentials have driven the "Negro" worker in the South "further into poverty and degradation" according to testimony of Atty. P. Davis to the Senate finance committee. The percentage of their population on relief has increased from 17.8 in Oct. 2015 to 70 today. An example of how employeeILLERization is seen in the fertilizer industry in Delaware. In order to pay the "Negroes" less, it is listed as a southern state, although for other industries in which large numbers of them are not employed, Delaware is considered a northern state. An FERA report states: "The white-"Negro differential in tobacco is constant in the South, the aid extended and relief, . . . the aid extended by the relief authorities being no adequate compensation for the lesser income received from the employers." 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 comparatively less. It lish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. no discrimination against me here. I eat in the House restaurant and take guests there. I'm shaved in the House barber shop." In her current article, Miss Young cites official and semi-official statements to the effect that poverty of our masses here has increased sharply under the New Deal of President Roosevelt, whom Congressman Mitchell referred to as "this grand President of ours" whom he was helping to "feed the hungry and clothe the naked of every race and creed." Miss Young quotes the Joint Committee on National Recovery as stating recently that registered unemployed "Negroes," and their dependants, increased from 2,117,000 in January 1935 to 8,500,000 in January 1935, and charging that the AAA deprived 800,000 persons, predominantly "Negroes," of farm work. The committee was especially created to combat deliberate discrimination against "Negroes" under the NRA codes. In and out of Government service, "jim-crowism" prevails here, she continues. Even "Negro" journalists are excluded from press conferences to such an extent, she says, that when they turned up recently to cover a hearing on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, sponsored by the NAACP, they were seated only after some difficulty at a "jim-crow" press table and later were barred from the public restaurants on both the House and Senate sides of the capitol. THE "FORGOTTEN MAN?" The "Forgotten Man" is not new to this country or any other, but perhaps not one person in a thousand knows his true identity. Fewer still sense his height as to the state as a thrifty citizen. Fifty years ago, William Graham Sumner immortalized him in a lecture which he repeated many times, saying: "Now who is the Forgotten Man? He is the simple, honest laborer, ready to earn his living by productions he has made, but he is independent, self-supporting and asks no favors. He does not appeal to the emotions or excite the sentiments. He only wants to make a contract and fulfill it, with respect on both sides and favor on neither side. He must get his living out of the capital of the country. The larger the capital is, the better living he can get. Every particle of capital he can get is better than the idle, and the shiftless is so much taken from the capital available to reward the independent and productive laborer. "But we stand with our backs to the independent and productive laborer all the time. We do not remember him because he makes no clamor; but I appeal to you whether he is not the man who ought to be remembered first of all. * * * Now, I have said that this jobber means waste, plunder, and loss. And I have said that the system of making a chance to extort part of his product from somebody else. Now comes the question: Who pays for it all? The system of plundering each other soon destroys all that it deals with. It produces nothing. Wealth comes only from production and all that the wrangling grabbers, loafers, and jobbers get to deal with comes from somebody's. Who then, is he who provides it all? And you will have once more before you The Forgotten Man. "The Forgotten Man is weighted down with the cost and burden of the schemes for making everybody happy, with the cost of public benefice, with the support of all the loafers, with the losses from all the Economic Quackery, with the cost of all the jobs. Let us remember him a little while. Let us take some of the burdens off him. Let us turn our pity on him instead of on the Good-For-Nothing. It will be only justice to him, and society will greatly gain by it. "If you do anything for the Forgotten Man, you must secure him his earnings and savings. You must legislate, and security of capital and for its free employment, to oppose paper money, wildcat banking, and other Economic Fallacies. You must maintain the inviolability of contracts."

Premier Mussolini is having more trouble with his Ethiopian bluff than he ever anticipated. And the end is not yet, ene Notwithstanding his exceptional voice and splendid singing, the suc- cess of Roland Hayes’ American con- cert tours among the whites ("Greys") is dependant more large- ly on his rendition of jubilee songs, now termed spirituals, than upon anything else. 2 —ui— We do not know Miss Marguerite Young, whose alleged interview is given on our first page, but do know that if she is correctly quoting Con- gressman Arthur W. Mitchell whom she claims to have interviewed, she is giving about all of our people of ‘this country one of the rudest jolts they oave ever had. —aill— It is announced that “Negroes” have contributed more than 80 per cent of the $50,000 raised for mort- gage reduction by the Phyllis Wheat- ley Association of this city which has been owned and controlled from the very beginning by whites (“greys”) who conceived the idea of the organization and put it over. D. M. Hertzog, Premier of South Africa, is in London, England, advo- cating that The League of Nations (“Notions”) be persuaded to give control of Liberia, West Africa, to Hitler Germany under a mandate in order to satisfy Germany's burning ambition for an African colony. Hertzog is clearly one of those crazy prejudiced Dutchmen who have de- prived black natives in South Africa of practically all the rights of human beings. - it Kelly Miler is wrong when he says that the segregation of the Jew is “infinitely less galling than that of the Negro.” He is doubtless misled into that belief because the Jew af- fects to ignore such mistreatment as a rule and does not make the public demonstration against it that “Ne- groes” do. They “frown” down such publicity just as far as they are able to do 0. Whether their position in this matter fs better than that of the “Negro” we have our doubts. The letter sent Rev. Ernest Hall, of our local Minister’s Alliance, by one, P. Grady, a vice-pres. of the Fisher Brothers Co., ought to be an eye-opener for a number of our peo- ple in this community, particularly the “blow-bags,” ‘because it will give them a correct idea as to just what the larger business-operators in Cleveland, at least, really think of them. ‘The Grady letter is as much of an insult to all of our people of this community as it is to Dr. Hall Again, we are reminded of the fact that we get, in a general way, just about what we show we deserve, so please understand the situation made by the Grady letter. ——Tih— SULZMANN COLOR-LINE. A letter from the Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, chairman of the legal de- fense committee of the NAACP local branch, informs-The Gazette that the committee's ‘request of many weeks ‘ago, that the common pleas judges order Sheriff Sulzmann’s racial color- Tine in the county jail be discontin- ued, has to date apparently been ig nored by them, while the committer and organization “slept on.” He alsc says that “about ten days ago, the executive committee of the local branch directed its secretary, Mr. Art Taylor, to direct a communication tc Judge Powell requesting that th ‘judges take action forthwith” ané that “to date I have heard nothing from this last communication.’ Judge Powell and all the other Judges are here in the city and easy to be seen. Why “direct a communt. cation” to them? The judges know this, too, and doubtless consider it a waste of time to write in reply. The branch should have sent a commit. tee to see them and not direct its secretary to write. This it should do at once, Surely the matter is of suf- ficient importance to warrant a little. reat action at this late date, ——III— COME HOME, CONGRESS! ‘There seems little doubt that America is on the verge of a great deal of recovery this year, with many of the unemployed returned to Jobs in private industry. This will be attained if Congress permits. Election years are traditionally bad years for business, for they are a disturbing element, and next year is an election year. It is this year that we must make our big strides toward recovery. But, while recovery forces are trying to work, Congress remains on the job tampering with this and that, talking inflation, re- forms designed by “Brain Trusters," and appropriating new billions which must be paid by taxation, If you operated a business would you make a long term commitment—say for expanded employment over the next two years—when you had no idea what Congress might do to make fulllment of this contract impossi- ble? Neither would others. Con- ‘gress can best help the nation today by laying aside the reform bills until the next Congress, only six months hence, and coming home to explain those already enacted to a troubled eieiaebaenee “THE BALL OPENS!” ‘The following, all former active Harry L.

Evanston, Ill.—Spectacular Jesse Owens, of Cleveland, starred last Sat- urday afternoon, by equalling Frank Wykoff's world record of 9.4 seconds, for the 100 yard dash, then raced 220 yards in 20.7 seconds, only a tenth of a second slower than Roland ‘Locke's world standard, and followed up With a flight over 220 yards of low hurdles in 22.9 seconds, a tenth of a second faster than the atcepted world-record set by Iowa's Charlie Brookins (said to be colored) in 1924, and tied by Norman Paul of Calif. in 1933. Only in the broad jump, his favorite event, did Jess “fa’ down”. The crowd of 2,000 came out to see him make another world record which he did not do but did win the event with a leap of 25 feet § 1/16 inches. This jump wiped out a former meet-record of 28 feet 8% inches, established by John Brooks, Chicago “Afro” in 1932, Jess's time in the 220 yard dash’ erased the standard for the meet of 21.5 seconds, set by George Simpson, Buckeye star of by-gone days. His brilliant performances provided 20 of O. S. U's total of 69% points. Only in the low hurdles was he forced to extend himself. He coasted home in the dashes with from 7 to 10 yards over nearest competit- ors. In the lows, Jess came from’ behind to beat Phil Doherty, North- western sophomore, by about 2 fect.

HE American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the or- ganization that developed Alexander Graham Bell's in- vention into a nation-wide and inter- national communication agency, is celebrating its golden anniversary this spring. ‘The A. T. & T. Company was or- ganized in 1885, nine years after the invention of the telephone. Prior to that time the limited telephone facil- ities in the United States were op- erated by the American Bell Tele- phone Company. ‘The first telephone company was formed by Bell, Thomas A. Watson, his assistant in the invention of the telephone, and a group of close asso- ciates who backed Bell when the telephone was a vague, and to most people, a fantastic idea. This organi- zation soon grew to a point where it needed additional capital and per- sonnel to build long distance lines and extend facilities generally. The answer was the création of a sub- INTRAINING | | a ag ae ie a aoe mre BY Riding a bicycle is an important part of the training program fol- lowed by Jimmy McLarnin, welter- weight champion, who is working out daily at Swan Lake, N.

Man Loses Wedding; Phone Girl Saves the Day ‘sidiary, the A. T. & T. Company. The vision of the telephone pio- neers who founded the new company is evident in the certificate of in- corporation, which stated that the purpose of the company was to es- tablish telephone service between all cities in this country and “by cable and other appropriate means with the rest of the known world.” Plan Far Into Future The statement was prophetic. Al- though the “appropriate means” did not exist in those days, they had con- fidence that it would in the future. Today their confidence has been re- warded. Daily telephone calls are transmitted overseas to some 60 ‘countries, scattered over five con- tinents, by a combination of radio and land telephone pathways. Realization of the dream of world- wide telephone service was the work of a succession of far-seeing and forceful leaders who headed the A. T. & T. Company. The first of ‘mun tune ‘Thastinn O. Wek: JHE best man would have left ‘a wedding in Cincinnati wait. ing on the church steps recent- ly had it not been for the ex- pert detective work of a telephone operator. Arriving in Cincinnati to serve as best'man at his brother's wedding, a Chicagoan found himself hopeless- ly lost. He had forgotten the name of the hotel where his brother was reg- istered and the name and location of the church in which the wedding was to be held. With the time of the ceremony fast approaching, he told Miss Helen McCarty, telephone attendant at the Cincinnati Union Terminal, of his dilemma. She immediately began a SE 18 IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “always will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even -social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit, The race that says it’s cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are *by nature without self-respect and have no ‘guts’. The world respects only thosg who resent and re- sist proseriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of thelr race to equal liberty, and forever resist de- nial of rights in our native land, however long race dis- crimination may continue. To submit Is to deserve ‘con- tempt.—Wm. Monroe Trotter in The Boston (Mass.) Guar- ‘on As A. T. & T's first president, Vail envisioned an ideal of “One Policy, One System, Universal Service.” His ideal still is a direct- ing force in the company. ‘The A. T. & T. Company and its 24 associated companies, one of which is The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, furnish service to 13,458,- 000 telephones, any one of which may be connected with 93 per cent of the world’s 30,850,000 telephones. In addition, it co-operates with 6,700 connecting’ independently-o wn ed companies and 25,300 connecting rural lines to transmit calls over its long distance lines to every hamlet in the United States, The A. T. & T. also controls the manufacture of telephone equipment and research laboratories to improve operating methods and equipment. Its activities as a_ co-ordinating agency make possible telephone service of uniform quality in all ‘sections ak thn chaien, search for the scene of the best man's duties. Calls to the bride’s home went un- answered. A quick check of hotels did not locate the bridegroom. Meanwhile, the clock relentlessly ticked away the minutes. Finally an inspiration. Miss Me- Carty thought of the Marriage Li- cense Bureau. The clerk gave her the name of the officiating clergy- man and the church. A telephone call to the church reached the wed- ding party, without a best man, anx- iously pacing the floor.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Onie ‘egislature 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 ‘aw. ‘The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitu- Uonality of the law and it has been very effective. I}inois, Pennsylvania ind New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence oF snti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other north- vn states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted intt-lyncbing laws, in recent yeas. The Ohio law follows: MOBS.

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 edi- tor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. ‘The General Code of Ohio: See. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommoda- tion and amusement, denies to 2 citi zen, 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 ths next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent juris- diction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been helc constitutional and good lax by the Ohio Supreme court.

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 appropriation for the State Department of Wilberforce University, 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 has no reference to the state or creed.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society. STREAMLINE trains and giant airliners recently have been in the spotlight in America; Italy is still applauding an airminded son who sped through the air more than 400 miles an hour a short time ago; and Great Britain is just quieting down after celebrating the victory of her flyers who won the London-Mel- bourne air race. In Germany streaml ine trains are linking additional cities as quickly as the new type transpor- tation equipment can be manufactured. Modern transportation, this. But one can still find types of transportation facilities, even in the world's largest cities and their rural neighborhoods, that were in use decades and even centuries ago. There is not a sizable town in the United States in which one cannot hall a taxi, and in many of them charter a plane; yet the top-hatted cabble, whose pompous figure held sway over traffic on boulevards in the gay nineties, has not been entirely shelved. These "taximen" of another era have jealously watched as new traffic lights have been installed, traffic lanes have been painted to keep modern motorists from crushing bumpers and fenders, and streets have been widened and trees sacrificed to make room for more of their rivals; yet they still constitute something of a traffic problem. Ox-Drawn Venicles. Within sight of concrete, 40-mile-an-hour highways, and less than a hundred miles from Washington, D. C., and Annapolis, Md. ox-drawn vehicles still lumber along; while in the isolated mountain regions of the West, sure-footed burros and pack mules continue to be the only companions of many rugged prospectors. Millions of visitors arrive at Atlantic City by automobile, airplane and train, yet to see the "sights" along the Boardwalk, they hire three-wheeled rolling chairs. Others arrive at Bermuda aboard palatial steamships but take to bicycles and horse-drawn carriages to tour the island. On the corners of modern, wide thoroughfares of Shanghai, Hongkong and Canton, China, the traveler hails a riksha and weaves perilously through a maze of motor and pedestrian traffic. In the alley-like back streets of the native towns, however, he may prefer a sedan chair to avoid jostling men and women and stumbling over children to whom these mere byways are playgrounds. What traveler leaves Durban, Natal, without employing a Zulu rikskham? The dark-hued tribesman in gay-feathered headdress and scant clothing, is one of the colorful features of the South African city. In remote Szechwan province, China, wheelbarrows, which are the local transports, have worn ruts in flagstone pavements; in Sumatra, if one goes native, he must travel in a buffalo-drawn cart whose thatched top is shaped like a swaybacked horse, and is pointed at each end. In Palermo, Sicily, the purely Sicilian way to get about is by native cart, a two-wheeled vehicle on whose side parallels are gay depicted Bible scenes and Sicilian panoramas; and in Ireland, the Irish jaunting car on which passengers sit back to back and face outward lends atmosphere to a tour of the Emerald Isle. Liamas still carry loads in the Andes, and elephants still are favored among the tiger hunters of India. In spite of progress in Belgium, the morning milk is still delivered by dogcart at many a doorstep, and dog sleds are yet the most dependable transportation in the ley wastes of the Arctic and Antarctic. The tired explorer enjoys comfortable travel in a hammocklike chair borne by native porters in central Africa; the mountainers of northern India and western China employ the yak as their beast of burden; the camel still plods the caravan routes of north Africa. Arabia and central Asia; and the carabao (water buffalo) is the dependable draft-animal of the East Indian islands. "Floating Population." Land transportation is of no interest whatever to millions of Chinese. Children are born, grow up, marry, carry on their lives, and work aboard the sampans of China's floating cities. Most of the great river cities of southern and central China have such a "floating population," but the boat dwellers of Shanghai and Canton form large communities, in themselves. A traveler of sufficient energy could laboriously progress for miles by jumping from the deck of one sampan, to another. Like the Dutch canal boat dwellers, these river folk are a race unto themselves, apart from the common run of their fellow men. In many cases their mode of life has been handed down from father to son for generations. When China's teeming acres became overcrowded and expensive, and a growing commerce demanded river transportation in even larger volume many ingenuous Chinese combined business with economy and took to living aboard their tiny craft. Although business might call far and wide along the numerous rivers and canals it was the large commercial centers at the mouths of mighty streams that offered the most lively carrying trade. Hence these cities early became headquarters for the water dwellers. The riverman often made long voyages up country, but he always came home to roost. Hence the dirty, evil-smelling stretches of river and back-wash surrounding such centers as Canton and Shanghai, and even around Hongkong and Singapore, became the native heath of an army of sampan dwelling Chinese, who from childhood have known no other life. The visible means of support of these communities is the carrying trade from wharf to wharf, and from bund to steamer or junk, across river and up canals. Barnyard Afloat. Some sampans house petty merchants and peddlers who carry on a small trade in the necessaries of life from boat to boat within the water colony itself. Occasionally a craft is filled to overflowing with huge white ducks which fatten in the daytime on the tidal mud flats or harvested fields, and at night walk a gangplank back to their floating barnyard. They proceed, one by one, in a quacking and pushing single file, each burrying not to be the last duck aboard. The return home in the evenings is sometimes hastened. it is said, by giving the last duck a sharp crack with a switch. The awkward procession soon learns the trick and a comic tumult arises not to be the unfortunate tail of the procession. Chinese sampans are marvelously easy to handle, being the product of generations of adaptation to environment. They dart like water spiders here and there amidst the harbor traffic, clustering like barnacles around the great steamers anchored offshore. With lightning swiftness, they flee in droves before an approaching storm, each knowing as if by instinct his own place in the quiet retreat of sheltered water. There is no mistake, no confusion, each bit falls unerringly into place like a gigantic picture puzzle. When the high wind arrives each craft is in place, with not a pampered left over, or a vacant square of water blg enough to hold one. In spite of the shifting needs of commerce, family life aboard proceeds about its daily routine as usual, abut in rather more cramped quarters, Clothes, vegetables, and babies are washed side by side in the stream and the cooking is done above a diminutive brazierlike stove. Growing children help with the handling of the boat and cargo, and grandmothers in blue cotton ragged garments smoke long-stemmed pipes. At night all draw together and neighborly chatter from boat to boat sounds like that of a newly arrived flock of blackbirds. The river folk are poor but extremely cheerful, especially over the evening meal. Lights from great modern liners shine across the harbor and music from an occasional gaily decked pleasure barge floats from the mid-stream channel. In few other places lurks so strongly the spell of the East Raft Transports. On the shallow, shifting Hwang Hour or Yellow river of China rafts are the principal means of transport, especially for freight cargoes. There are two types of raft: one using as buoys inflated sheepskins, and the other, large ox-hides which are stuffed with wool and then tied up to keep them water-tight. The sheepskin rafts vary in size, according to the use for which they are intended, ranging from as few as 12 to 15 skins on the small one-man rafts. For the large rafts some 120 ox-hides are used. The ox-hides are carefully treated on the inside with salt and oil. This treatment not only preserves and waterproofs them but also keeps them flexible. There is no extraordinary technique required in the construction of a raft. Poles are lashed together, forming a framework to which the blides or sheepskins are fastened. Moslem Chinese who form a considerable percentage of the population of Kansu province, are the rafts men on the Yellow river. A sturdy people, they stand well the hardships of river life. It is far from an easy life with all the contrasts of heat and cold and the strenuous labor involved in handling the clumsy transports through the rapids; or freeing them, once they have stranded on a sand bar. The men, however, are happy and friendly Charming Print Jacket Costumes Charming Print Jacket Costumes BY CHERIE NICHOLAS THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. Charming Print By CHERIE FANCY a two-piece suit or a jacket and-frock costume made exactly : it tailored of cloth, only instead of being of tweed or broadcloth or serge or a novelty woolen, it is fashioned of a gay print, either crepe or taffeta. It's news we are telling you, for the print jacket suit is fashion's big headline feature this spring. Perhaps you have already acquired one of these attractive and wearable print suits. If not, why not, and if you 'haven't, hurry up and take a look at the charming types which the shops are showing. The print may not be expensive. In fact, some of the most successful models are of simple, unpretentious patterns and weaves. Small figures on dark backgrounds are favored for practical daytime wear. The skirts are either gored or cut straight and slim with a slit hemline, or if you take delight in being very ultra, choose one of the new circular flare skirts with its widened hemline such as Paris designers announce as the newest silhouette. The jacket that that is smartest is tailored along classic lines, is fitted in slightly at the waist and buttons up the front and is only hiplength.

The new ones know a new practicability. In the first place they have been made to a great extent by people who understand vanity—the cosmeticians. They have known what to include. Not only have they done a good job at making them practical, but they have seen that they have that other important requisite, which is beauty. They are fashioned of velvet, of lame, of fine kidskin, of lovely silks, and even of metals. Their colors are almost unlimited, but women are usually careful, or should be, that they choose a color that will go with all party frocks. They may have a one or two sided opening, and usually hold purse, change purse, cigaret case, comb, lipstick, rouge and powder. Jacket Lengths Will Vary; Suits Are to Fit Easily There is a softness in the air that prepares one for the spectacle of spring clothes. Necklines are bowed, frilled, or softened, and even with classic tailleur, which is always chosen by certain types, a jabot or some other softening touch is suggested for the blouse. It is also advisable to have the blouse contrast. Even in the case of linen this idea is carried out. With the usual exceptions, loose fitting lines prevail in the suit collections for spring, 1885. Jacket lengths vary to some degree, and so do their types. Coat Dresses Smart Coat dresses of black, navy blue or pepper-and-salt wool, cut on slender lines and finished with white plique collars in the form of petals or stylized flowers, are an outstanding spring fashion. away Your Co d or an Acqu SATURDAY. MAY 25. 1935. Jacket Costumes NICHOLAS bows instead of buttons is a note worth keeping in mind when you plan your new frocks and blouses. It is an important this-season fashion gesture. It is not unusual for these sprightly weeds to travel up and down the front of a one-piece dress (perhaps cut in the new princess lines) from neckline to hemline. Then, again, they may even fasten a bodice up the back or pose in little groups on one's blouse. In fact, whenever a decorative touch is needed, Just scatter a flock of little velvet bows over your costume for effect and up-to-the-moment chic. Printed chiffon suits for dress daytime wear are making fashion history. They are really the most flattering costumes one can wear at an afternoon social gathering. The young woman seated is wearing a striking ensemble, the jacket and skirt of which are fashioned of a printed chiffon which shows cornflower blue, beige and yellow flowers massed on a black ground. The classic tailored jacket has a boutonniere of cutout chiffon posies. It is lined with black taffeta to match the slip. The blouse is of handsome black lace. Black trims and faces the wide-brimmed shallow beige straw hat. For evening formality prints are simply gorgeous. You can see, looking at the figure to the right in the picture, how strikingly handsome a formal ensemble of print can be. This model is fashioned of a flower print done in exotic multi-colorings. Here again you see a touch of velvet in that the dress collar is of green velvet, the same repeated in the sleeve and pocket facings of the loose swagger jacket. A corsage of fresh orchids (wearing natural flowers this season) tucked through the belt and a big rhinestone clip at the neck are smart additions. VOGUE FINDS NEW USES FOR PIGSKIN The uses for pigskin leather have steadily been increasing. So many new things have been fashioned of it, that the range in accessories mounts into numbers. First of all, are pigskin shoes, and there is nothing that wears better than this leather, or looks any finer with sports clothes. It has been dyed to black, brown, navy . . . any color desired and is excellent in white shoes for summer. The pigskin handbag is certainly a smart accessory, holds its shape exceptionally well, and has a grain that doesn't show markings which often mar the appearance of smooth leather. Pigskin gloves are the perfection of the sports world. In natural, white, brown, navy and black, they can be found to accompany any tweed, and do it in the grand manner. Frothy Fabrics Are Used for New Dancing Frocks Dancing frocks continue to add charm and color to the evening scene. Almost everything goes but lately there seems to be a fresh interest in frothy fabrics rather than in the stiff mores, satins and lames that have obtained for so long. Many of the frocks planned for resort wear are masses of tulle and there is more lace than has been the case for some seasons. Pleatings are generally seen when it comes to frocks done in a sheer medium. One frock of soft blue tulle embroidered in silver stars has the skirt entirely knilpe-pleated as is the peplum. Soft brown lace with touches of rose pink velvet makes another delightful frock for southern or cruise wear. Vogue for Gold The vogue of gold metal is still in full swing, but most of the new models in clips, dress ornaments, fancy bracelets or necklaces often show gold metal combined with either black metal in onyx effect or with transparent plastic materials. copy of The maintenance wh In The WEEK'S NEWS CURRENT EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE GAZETTE VIEWS PIPELESS ORGAN—The Voice of Experience, noted radio advice giver, who was guest artist at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 when he was but 14, inspects the electric pipeless organ invented by Laurens Hammond, of Chicago.
