TEN-YEAR-OLD Warren Dawes was smitten by that delightful magic which sends people palpitating to the altar in June.
It was in a Chicago movie that first he looked upon the dazzling dimples of little Shirley Temple, the juvenile star. A feeling of warmth came 'round his heart and love was born.
All the way home that night he thought about Shirley. Then, being a man of action, he shook down his savings pig, took the dollar-twenty and fared forth toward Hollywood to make her his. By the time he reached downtown Chicago he couldn't wait, so he headed for a telephone booth.
There he put in a call for Shirley, but his youthful voice, combined with the lateness of the hour, led the long distance operator to investigate. It was there in the phone booth at 4:30 a. m. that tough luck, accompanied by a policeman, caught

HEAR! HEAR!!
The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING
Senator John P. Green went into Judge Silbert's common pleas courtroom, one day last week, on business, and the Judge very graciously introduced the Senator to all the ladies and gentlemen in the courtroom telling them that he was the mayor of the city in the city of Cleveland. This is true, and the statement—from the Judge—a very fine compliment which not only the Senator but all of our people of this community appreciate.
At a recent meeting of the 18th Ward Junior Republican Club, Councilman John E. Hubbard, who apparently faces sure defeat, this fall, at the hands of Atty. Harold T. Gassoway, his opposing candidate, related some of his "wonderful" experiences, on a recent trip to Washington, D. C., in his own "inimitable way," much to the amusement of many in the audience, and went on to give Mayor Harry L. Davis a boost for his "wonderful" efforts to secure ground, to be attested to the corner of Quincy Ave, and E. 89th St. This, he said, the mayor did in the face of the fact that there was no appropriation for this purpose. He also said the playground was to be dedicated and named by the mayor. Maybe! Hubbard sure is "an amusin' cuss." It is pretty generally understood that his hamstringing of the Bryant family in the E. 85th St-Cedar Ave. gasoline station fight will insure his defeat, this fall, and ought to insure the removal of the pastor of St. James A. M. E. church whom Hubbard seems to fear. Walker, the pastor, is said to have insured the miserable fight on that race enterprise, making it very hard, indeed, for Calvin Bryant to make a living for his wife and two children, who are in attendance upon local public schools. Scores of former supporters of the councilman are now working hard for Gassoway.

ETHIOPIA APPEALS TO U. S. IN CRISIS
Asks It to Find Way to Force Italy Observe the American Kellogg Pact—U. S. Backs Down From Its Own.
Addis Ababa, N. Africa — Ethiopia chose America's Independence Day to ask the U. S. to back up its American (Kellogg) pact or treat and warn Italy to observe her obligations under the Kellogg Pact, by which she renounced war as an instrument of national policy. Five-page note by William George, U. S. charge d'affaires here, outlined the development of the Italo-Ethi-
Emperor Haile Selassie.
opian controversy and reasserted Ethiopia's contention that Italy has warlike intentions aimed at the conquest of the African empire. The massing of men and munitions in Italy's African colonies, the note contended, indicates that Ethiopia's independence is threatened.
Reiterates His Decision.
Emperor Haile Selassie off-expressed his defense against the political independence of his country by all legal means, without slackening efforts toward peaceful settlement of issues involved, was reiterated in the communication.
Under the Kellogg-Briand pact, or treaty, properly called "the general pact for the renunciation of war," the United States, Germany, Belgium, France, Great Britain and her dominions, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Poland and Czechoslovakia renounced war as an instrument of national security among them should be settled by pacific means. It was signed at Paris, Aug. 27, 1928.
Delivery of the note to the American representative came shortly after the Emperor, in a statement, insisted that Ethiopia did not want war with Italy but would do her duty in case of armed conflict.
Rumors that Palacio Unconfirmed.
A rumored battle between Italian and Ethiopian frontier forces in which Italian casualties were reported to have been heavy, remained without confirmation. Authorities here revealed that Ethiopia was having some trouble getting munitions, Belgium assertedly having embargoed 7,500,000 cartridges after 2,000,000 an hour for 10,400 had been shipped. However, Abysinia will be ready, Sept. 1, after which Italy threatens to start the war. The rain season usually ends then.
MUTINIES AND ARRESTS!
The mutinies and rioting which have accompanied mobilization of 95,000 Italians for military service, have not been ended by the drastic measures of suppression used by the Fascist government, according to reports in the N. Y. Post, N. Y. Times, the Chicago Tribune and The New York Daily Worker. The attack was against the service in the African campaign, Italian laborers, poor peasants, and reservists are refusing to enlist. "In farming regions outside of Florence no volunteers enlisted." In Naples a large number of young men who had enlisted decamped as soon as they received their 500 lire. Some were caught and are now in dungeons. (Crusader News, 1935, 125.) Rests and other duties are of such seri-
SOUTHERN BRUTALITY.
Montgomery, Ala.—On his right cheek, between his ear and his nose, Roy Wright, youngest of the Scottsboro boy-victims, but one, bears a scar larger than a vaccination mark. It is a reminder of the day—now more than four years ago—when he, with the other Scottsboro boys, was taken off a freight train at Paint Rock, Alabama, by an armed posse. Just before he was locked in the Paint Rock jail, one of the men jabbed a bayonet thru his cheek.
The TMTM Club held its annual picnic, Monday at Cedar Point. The organization gave Mrs. Evelyn Roberson Brown a surprise shower.

Lincoln, Neb. — Eulace Peacock,
Temple university sophomore, last

Ralph Metcalfe and Jesse Owens in
the top flight of American track and
competition. Peacock compact

Owens to the tape in the N. C.
A. A., who finished fifth in the
broad jump in the same meet, last
week in the national senior A. A. U.
championships, flashed to a decisive
victory over Owens and Metcalf in
the 100-meter event. And before
incredulous thousands had ceased roar-
ing, Owens won the race. Peacock hurled his body through the
air 26 feet 3 inches in the broad
jump to again steal a victory from
Owens in an event in which the Ohio
State star was considered supreme.
In the 100-meter event, his time of
10:2.5 exceeded the world record.
Metcalfe was second, about a foot
long, and he had bare inches behind Metcalfe, George
Anderson (white), was fourth; U.
of California. Owens gave everything he had in his final broad jump,
but the best he could get was a shade
beyond 26 feet, three quarters of an
short inch of Peacock's mark.
Metcalfe, winner of the two short races for the last three years also had one more chance and made it pay. Wasting no time at any stage of the race, he galloped through the 200 meters in the new meet record time of 21 seconds around one turn. With a wind that ranged, most of the afternoon, from seven to eleven miles an hour, it was not expected that either Peacock's 10.2 seconds, a tenth of a second faster than the 10.1 second record, jointly by Metcalfe, Eddie Tolan and Percy Williams of Canada, nor Metcalfe's mark in the 200 meters would stand.
Owens Again Beaten By Peacock.
Crystal Beach, Ont., Canada.
Eulace Peacock. Temple U, star, who startled the track world with a double victory over Jesse Owens, last week Thursday, demonstrated, last Saturday, it was no fluke when he flashed home in front of Jesse Owens in the 100-meter dash, feature of the game. He also played the games in a driving finish. Peacock allowed Owens to set the pace for most of the distance and then flashed to the front in the final 25 yards, crossing the finish line going away with a burst of speed, just as he did out at Lincoln, Nebr. The Temple sophomore was clocked in 10.5 seconds, three-tenths of a second slower than the time he set, last week Thursday, in defeating Owens. Isaac Meadows (white), of Michigan State was a bad third in the race.

WHAT THE TAX
PROPOSAL MEANS
Into the whirlpool of Congress President Roosevelt has tossed a new tax proposal. Even the closest advisers of the Administration admit it was ill-advised and, by causing confusion, will retard rather than speed re-employment. Generally the publishes and adds to the tax positions; first, the haphazard way in which new taxes were suggested, with no figures to show what they would produce; and, secondly, the fact that instead of accomplishing the stated purpose of taxing the wealth, they were disclosed as a tax on the thrifty. One authority, in discussing the proposal of the President said, "The purpose is millions of persons. A corporation is simply an aggregation of individuals who have invested in the same enterprise. There are nearly 10,000,000 registered owners of common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and additional millions of owners of companies listed on other exchanges or not dealt in on any security transactions of stock holdings there remain millions of Americans who are part owners of business corporations.
"There is a greater diffusion of ownership and wealth in the United States than in any other country. It is now proposed to levy higher taxes upon the corporation in which there is the greatest diffusion of ownership. The result would unquestionably test the ability of small investors in large corporations and thus toward increased concentration of wealth ownership, an objective contrary to the announced aims of its own sponsors.
"Corporations are not simply large

track history by breaking in two events with his rival, Eulace Peacock, in the feature events of an all-star track meet here. Peacock, winging at the ball, was hit by a 100-yard dash by a scant foot in 9.7 seconds. It was the third time in less
A. B.
than a week that he has beaten Owens in the sprint. Jesse came back, however, and squared accounts in the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 9 inches. Peacock's best was 23 feet 6% inches.
Gets Quicker Start.
The easterner capitilized on a speedier getaway and withstood the Buckeye Bullet's sensational finishing drive to win the century. After two false starts, Peacock broke rapidly in front. The Temple flier opened up a gap of nearly two yards at the half-way mark before Owens struck his stride. Jess put on a characteristic finish but failed to overtake his rival as they finished nearly shoulder to shoulder.
The Red Sox Bumped Twice.
Mansfield, O.—The Cleveland Red Sox was defeated in a double header by the Delano Lodge club here, July 4, 0 to 4 and 0 to 1. The second fray went only seven innings, but R. Thomas of the victors managed to strike out ten while allowing two hits. The Reds are not "so warm!"

It is hard for us to believe that Arthur Brisbane and Westbrook Pegler, well-known N. Y. City newspapermen, columnists, (white), really wanted to incite a riot in New York at the time of the Louis-Carnera fight, as charged in several of our papers, and yet they wrote and had published so much stuff, that had such a tendency, that many believed it was just what they were trying to do. Of course, they did not succeed. There was no riot or any indication of such untoward doings.
---
All the Christian world, with the possible exception of one or two European countries, are hoping that if Primo Benito Mussolini of Italy does war on Ethiopia (Abyssinia), as threatened, the result will be what it was when the two countries fought at Adowa in 1916—the Italian army was routed by the Abyssinians. This time, Italy will be waging a war of conquest, pure and simple—just what it tried to start at that time—and ought to again get what it did then. And here is hoping that it will be another, although larger, Joe Louis Barrow-Primo Carrera fight.
THE BILL IS COMING DUE.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to establish a charge or term-payment account in a department store? But no matter how easily the credit is obtained, or how small the payments, they come due regularly and if not paid—well, the law just takes its course and the debtor suffers. The people of the United States are just now waking up to the fact that they have been on a gigantic spending spree. Never did they use their public credit so freely. But the day of reckoning is here. The charge accounts are coming due and the payments will have to be made. Just as the unwary customer is talked in to spending more than he can afford by the super-selling ability of the expert clerk, so have an unwary people been talked in to spending more than they can well afford to pay, by the silver tongues of the politicians. In the latter case, however, the people thought they were going to be given something for nothing—that the billions of dollars handed out in the name of "relief" and "recovery" would be taken from somebody else's pocket. But the dream has ended. The tax-gatherer's hand is going right down into John Jones' pocket to take out the money to pay the charge account, for the "gifts" to Jones. A new tax-raising bill has been thrown into the lap of Congress, that will have a tremendous effect on the earnings, the savings and the estates of every citizen. For camouflage and publicity purposes, it is designated as a "share the wealth" or "soak the rich" tax program. The Portland Oregonian says:
"This is but the beginning. . . The government Santa Claus is about to be withdrawn. . . Gradually he is to become overshadowed by another figure. This one will appear to the taxpayer he he plays out his part, like a government Shylocks. No other way. Good Old Uncle Sam is going to make the rich pay and pay. Nothing is said about making other people pay. But that will come later. We are all going to pay—pay through the nose and pay till it hurts, in increased federal taxes down through the lower brackets. Our tax bill during the next generation is going to be a challenge and handsome, and at the same time fearsome, not going to fall away where. It is going to fall heavily on all who have incomes, in whatever brackets."
Charge accounts of the government (tax bills) become due just as do charge accounts of stores (private bills). There is no difference whatever in principle—but there is a great difference in fact, in that the government, if you fail to pay your tax bill, can use more harsh and rudious methods on the individual to force payment than can the private store. There is no leniency shown by the tax collector. He collects your taxes, or he takes your property.
WHO PAYS THE TAXES?
If the head of every family in the United States were compelled to work for the government three months out of each year without pay before he could start earning a living for his dependents, he would probably be willing to compromise on a less costly government in return, for a bit less of his labor. Yet that is exactly what is happening in the United States today. The income of the average family of 4.2 persons is $1,184. The average tax bill—local, state and federal—is $300 a family, more than a quarter of the annual income. In addition, each family is saddled with a debt of $1,800, which must be paid through additional taxation as the government bonds fall due.
It is the prevailing idea among the majority who are exempt from the income tax and who own no real estate that only the wealthy pay taxes. In reality even the poorest person pays tribute to the government with even his smallest purchase. Bread begins to be taxed when the farmer pays the county tax collector. The processing tax then raises the price of wheat 30 cents a bushel, or about half a cent on a loaf of bread. Then the miller and the baker must pay real estate and income taxes and must pay their employees larger wages because they too are taxed. These taxes, amounting to about two cents a loaf, are all included in the cost of production and are paid by the person who buys the bread. The same process is gone through with on other foodstuffs. It is conservatively estimated that out of every dollar spent by the housewife at the grocer and butcher, nineteen cents goes to the tax collector.
The average person seldom stops to realize these things — that on whatever he buys he pays a tax and that as the cost of government increases, the percentage of wages or salary going to the tax collector also increases.
HUBBARD'S EXHIBITION
After a riotous session in which parliamentary procedure was thrown to the winds, the sig-state Republican Crusaders Conference in Public Music Hall late Tuesday concluded its sessions by adopting a platform containing a plank advocating a federal anti-lynching law. The ant-lynching plank, which had been rejected by the resolutions committee, was submitted from the floor by Councilman John E, Hubbard of this city, and precipitated a bitter fight. W. G. McDowell of Detroit said: "Everybody knows we can't get such a law. If a crime is committed within the borders of a state it is punishable by the laws of that state. The Supreme Court would declare such a law unconstitutional upon application." And he is right! Thomas J. Barrett of West Virginia, chairman of the resolutions committee, said:
"There is no object in adopting a resolution that flies in the face of the Constitution."
And he is right, too! The most eminent jurists and statesmen of this country have for years announced that the right to handle all mob violence in a state is a state right, pure and simple, and therefore the federal government (the Congress) is powerless to act in the matter.
Time and again The Gazette has urged that the time, money and effort being wasted on federal anti-lynching bills be used to secure the enactment of such a law in states, particularly those here in the North that have none. Southern states will not enact such legislation any sooner than the southern Democratic controlled Congress will do so.
Of course, Councilman Hubbard does not know this and that doubtless accounts for his espousing that "federal anti-lynching plank" in the poorly attended Republican Crusaders Conference of Tuesday. Some one undoubtedly "slipped one over on him."

THIS story starts on the deck of the Jacob Ruppert, flagship of the second Byrd Expedition to the South Pole, at anchor at the Boston Navy Yard. Three figures crouch down under the Condor plane which flew Admiral Byrd's party through the Antarctic. Airplane mechanic Vernon Boyd, opens a valve and a trickle of gasoline flows into a retort held by H. I. Beadle, chemist and engineer of Tide Water Oil Company.
Harold I. June, chief pilot of the two Byrd Antarctic expeditions, nods his approval and corroborates the fact that this gasoline is the same that powered the plane during all its polar flights totalling more than 20,000 miles. The Condor is lashed alongside the gigantic Ford Trimotor that flew over the pole in 1929. The three men then board the Ford plane and take samples of its gasoline.
Down into the bowels of the ship they go now to inspect the remaining fuel and oil supplied by Tide

YEARS ago, legend has it, miners traversed the road and passed through the rocky cut en route to spend their Saturday nights in the boom town of Keystone. On their return, they were often waylaid by bandits, who so often killed their victims, that the path became known as "Dead Man's Cut." Last year, however, the road which links Welch and Bluelief, West Va., became prominently associated with the thought of safety, for it was over this stretch and the

Water for this as well as the previous Byrd expedition. They come on the only can of Veedol oil that is left — one of Tide Water Oil's copper cans which was specially constructed for the first Byrd expedition six years ago. It had been cached under the ice when the Byrd party left Little America after the first expedition, reclaimed by the second when the food caves were dug into, part of it used in the planes and the rest brought home.
It was turned over to Commander George O. Noville, executive officer of the expedition, who later presented it to W. S. Whalen, Tide Water's New England manager.
The next scene is in a chemical laboratory where the three men prepare to test their gasoline samples.
Chemist Beadle silently lets the gasoline for the test, and, stop watch in hand, turns wheels and dials. The next minute or two will determine whether or not the fuel was damaged or altered by belts

Suddenly he stops the machine and walks to a nearby desk where a chart taken of the gasoline when it was consigned to the Byrd supply ships rests and compares the figures he has just taken.
His announcement is brief, merely that "The fuel is unchanged" but it means that the proper gasoline, with proper handling, can be taken anywhere, used under practically any conditions and stored for long periods without losing its caliber or stamina.
This discovery is one of the major ones developed in the automotive and aerial experiments conducted at Little America. According to Commander Noville and Mr. June, the gasoline and oil are exactly the same after their years of temperature changes as the Tydol and Veedol used today by American motorists.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows:
Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages receivable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose, intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 163 1.2)
comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from 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 comes, 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 the person being lynched 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. If there be no widow or minor surviving, the widow receiving such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioner of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and consider it in favor of the legal representatives in favor of the legal or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or
comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence or short of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (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 1884.
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater, or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, willfulness or privileges thereof, 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 five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or person aggrieved thereby to be rewarded in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Faeroes
and
Iceland
Icelandic Lady in Native Costume.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society,
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
THE Royal Dutch Airline is
studying proposed routes which
will link the Netherlands with
the Faeroe islands and Iceland
via Great Britain. According to
reports from The Hague, the proposed
route is intended to be a link in the
chain which, not many years hence,
will be extended westward to the
United States along the northern route
investigated by Colonel Lindbergh.
The Faeroes are a group of 21 small
islands, sprinkled over a small area
about 250 miles off the northern tip
of Scotland. When the islands were
first settled has caused a guessing
contest, among historians. At Thorshavn,
the capital, a city of about
2,000 inhabitants, the wooden buildings
on strong stone foundations,
topped by turf roots, take the traveler
back a thousand years ago when
Norsemen settled there. On some of
the southernmost islands, however,
live dark-haired, dark-eyed people.
Thorshavn, rambling about the shore of the island and up the hillsides beyond, is a busy port. There are a few narrow streets winding between houses, but off these are mere paths leading to the "suburbs." Ponies have not been displaced by automobiles, or even by wagons and carts so that there is no demand for good roads on the islands, and there are none.
However, the Faeroes, although of the popular tourists' routes, do not entirely live in ages past. In some of the villages electric light bulbs throw their bright rays on paths that Viking feet once trod; telegraph wires are strung above ancient chimneys; radio towers throw their shadows upon turf-covered bark 'bark roofs; phonographs play for the entertainment of quantity costumed men and women who sit on furniture that was built by the owners' ancestors before Columbus sailed west; and the staccato put-put of modern motors emanates from fishing craft that are patterned after those of Viking forefathers.
Men Wear Native Garb.
In the village streets and throughout the islands, men wear their native costumes. Buttons are numerous on their hip-length coats, but the garments are clasped only at the throat so that the shiny brass buttons and fancy embroidery work adorning their vest is visible. Knee-length breeches, long, brown hose, soft-skin shoes, adorned with buckles, tied to the ankles with white thongs, and a floppy cap complete the masculine costume.
Many women have forsaken their voluminous dresses, white aprons with gaudy stripes, and colorful shawls. European fashions have won them, and frequently even the native costumed women will be seen wearing high-heeled shoes.
Travelers are amazed at the lofty homes of many of the islanders, particularly on those islands which are rimmed by sheer cliffs, rising more than 600 feet from the sea. Some islands have home-made elevators, but many islanders scale the rocks as a "human fly" scales a modern building.
The cliffs appear insurmountable but they are sources of life to the Faeroe inhabitants. The ledges, from sea to summit, are the nesting places of mylard birds which forms an important part of the Faeroe diet. Native hunters, with ropes tied securely about their waists and long-handled nets in hand, descend the cliffs and return with several days' supply of food.
Iceland Not a Frigid Land.
Iceland's name naturally suggests to the prospective visitor that he will find a frozen waste. And when his map shows this island to lie across the very threshold of the Arctic ocean, hard by the glacial coast of Greenland, and 300 miles farther north than bleak Labrador, he is almost prepared to come upon a land of polar bears and of fur-clad folk living in snow igloos.
Iceland is libeled both by nomenclature and maps. On many charts the most important physical fact in its life does not appear. Up from the south flows the warm Gulf stream to enfold the island and work the magic of whisking it, in effect, nearly a thousand miles toward the Equator; so that its climate is not that of the polar region, but of southern Canada or northern United States.
On Iceland's coasts are thriving towns with buildings of stone, gabled
roofs and church steeples, busy streets and electric lights. In the streets are men and women garbed much as are the inhabitants of Copenhagen and Glasgow, Ottawa and Minneapolis. One's eyes tell him that here is the same civilization that Europe and America know.
And immaterial factors proclaim the truth still more unmistakably than do material things. Here, in this far northern land, a worthy national literature and stable national institutions were developed when much of Europe was floundering in the Dark ages. Here the lamp of a Nordic Renaissance burned and lighted its own region before the beacon of the Latin Renaissance was held aloft to light the way for the world. This northern light has never failed.
It is true that physically Iceland's best foot is forward. Its most pleasant aspect is its fringe of coast. Inland it is in nowhere a pretty country, though the distinction may be made that it possesses much scenery of beauty—a weird, magnificent beauty coupled with desolation; for, though Iceland is not the icy waste that distant popular fancy would make it, it fared less fortunately at the hands of another of Nature's great forces, fire. The land is actively volcanic, and in the interior, on every hand, are the evidences of great fiery outbursts of the past. Tourists it presents none of those scenes which have made other lands popular; no forests, no rich meadows, no prosperous-appearing farms with beautiful gardens.
Proud of Their Island.
In spite of adverse conditions, in spite of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the absence of luxuries, the Icelanders cling to their land with fierce pride. They have a national life which is different from that of any other land in the world.
They feel strongly their one-time glory and value highly the culture and civilization that they built practically without outside help and in which the Iceland of today has its roots. Not only have they long ranked among the most literate people in the world, but they possess a broad knowledge and excellent taste in literature.
The people of Iceland have a great literature of their own in the old sagas, and many of their modern poets are especially gifted. Their folk songs are popular throughout the country and rank with the best of any nation.
Reykjavik, on Iceland's southwestern coast, is the capital and metropolis of the island. Like all other early settlements in Iceland, it was founded by Norwegians. Ingolf and Hjørleif, two Norwegian chiefs who refused to recognize Harald Haarfager, Norway's first king, settled on the southern shore of Iceland in 874.
As the traveler enters the Reykjavik harbor, he sees little to suggest that the city has been the capital of Iceland since 1800 and for many years has been the Icelandic seat of learning. Everything appears to have a commercial aspect. The harbor is a parade ground for dingy, weather-beaten, commercial and fishing craft, the quays are lined with unattractive warehouses, and portions of the shore nearby are white with codfish that the islanders put out each day to dry.
Capital City Is Interesting.
Once in the town, however, the picture changes. More than one-fourth of Iceland's 108,000 inhabitants live in the gaudily-painted wooden and corrugated iron houses that border wide streets. American automobiles (there are about 300 of them in the capital) are slowly taking the place of the little Iceland horses that not long ago had only wheelbarrows as their competitors in the transportation field.
The show place of the capital is the City Square. Here in the center of a grassy plot rises the statue of Thorwalden, the Icelandic sculptor, which was presented to the Icelanders by the city of Copenhagen in 1874. Overlooking the square is the huge stone Althing's house, where the Althing, which corresponds to our congress, meets every two years; and the Reykjavik cathedral, a stone structure with a wooden tower which was built in 1847. It is not much larger than the average-sized church in this country.
The buildings of the Iceland university, which was established in 1911, the museum, and the library are in the eastern portion of the capital city.

and shakes out and dries, moisture injuring its appearance no in the least. See the velvet suit pictured in the center of the group,
Knits will prove grand choices
JUST what, do you suppose, "are the wild waves saying" in regard to the whimsical, colorful and sometimes amusing water sports fashions which are so merrily splashing, dashing, swimming, bathing, diving and floating and frolicing in ocean blue, or lake or river or new fangled swimming pool or wherever enthusiastic water fans happen to be?
Well, one thing is certain, if they are saying anything, they are undoubtedly holding an exciting conversation as to the trend to novelty which is so outstandingly characteristic of the latest in swim and beach suits. This is especially true in regard to media and materials, which are that novel they deny the theory that there is nothing new under the sun.
There's lace, for instance, which as a charming innovation, so far as bathing suits are concerned, has set the fashion world abuzz this season. Dilkusha, a youthful French designer of renown, conceived the idea. The lace makers obligingly followed along with a fabric that could be used with assured modesty and pleasing effect. Comfortable to swim in, attractive in appearance, lace threatens to be a leader in the race for beachwear popularity. In the picture, the suit to the left is fashioned of lace of firm dependable quality. Even the bathing clogs are of lace, closely woven and snug-fitting.
Another sensation is the debut of velvet as medium for the bathing suit. Of course the velvet has been processed to resist the ravages of water. Then, too, it is crinkled instead of smooth
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Immense bath towels with fantastic designs, fish, lobsters, and palm trees being their decorative motifs done in eye-appealing colors are being used at leading summer resorts as rugs and beach wraps. The picture shows how smartly and artfully they wrap themselves about scanty bathing suits. Measurement 38 by 72 inches as they do, these enormous bath-and-bead towels serve as ample rugs on sandy shores, lending color and tone to the scene.
Knits will prove grand choices. While there is nothing new in the idea of the bathing suit which is knitted yet there is everything new in knitted effects as brought out this season. Their chief claim to novelty is in the daring and bizarre colorings and patterned effects instead of plain solid tones. The new print or jacquard knits are so spectacular that they easily add as much color to the beach panorama as do the gaily striped parasols and deck chairs.
The style tide in knitted suits is running strongly to the maillot, or skirtless swim suit, because it permits the greatest freedom of action and exposes a maximum of skin surface to heathful sun rays. Mallots are also most flattering to fine figures, which is another argument in their favor. A smart version of the maillot, in a jacquard knit with a deep U-back, halter neck and the fitted uplift (characteristic of the majority of 1935 suits) is shown to the right in the illustration. Huge bubble dots, alternating outline and solid, contribute splotches of striking color to its patterning. Among the beguiling combinations are white dots on a skipper blue ground, sulphur yellow on brown, rouge on glory blue and white on tropic green.
Many fashionwise water-fans will do their swimming and soaking in skirtles or skirted, if you so prefer, one-piece suits which have backs formed by adjustable straps drawn together at the back in a ring or some other ingenious and attractive device surrounding the waist as a self belt, carelessly tied at the front to give the smart and casual touch.

NEWEST STYLES IN
OUTFITS FOR BEACH
From tallored severity to lacy laziness, the newest beach clothes range, with in-between numbers of quaint pastoral quality and daring modern themes.
There's a gay nineties air about a swim suit of polka-dotted red lazest woolen with white ruffles around the top and bottom, and forming the shoulder straps, which cross in the back.
Then there is the English schoolboy outfit, so popular with beach lollers this season, which usually consists of taller shorts and shirt of navy or polka-dotted 'twill, a matching ascot and a tallored white plaque or linen jacket.
The Bavarian note is with us, too, in pastoral beach frocks of flowered glazed chintz, with lace bodices and sometimes even milkmaid aprons.
There is the Tyrolean trend, in gay chintz shirts and skirt-length slacks, with suspenders and gay belts. You wear these with a plumed Alpine hat.
Summer Prints Are Using
Flowers as Big as Plates
Prints splashed with the biggest figures Paris has ever used—flowers the size of a large dinner plate—are next on the summer style scene.
Black or white crepes printed with huge plate-sized yellow and green sunflowers fashion slender gowns whose hemlines and trains are encircled by diagonal flouces. Their tops are sometimes without shoulder straps, leaving shoulders and back bare, the decollete often rimmed by a big ruche of the flowers cut from the material and strung with loops of horsehair ribbon.
More prints, this time pattern in saucer-sized tulips, fashion other gowns cut along similar lines.
Gaudy Ornaments
Ornaments for afternoon and evening wear are grandy and often introduce a contrasting color. Qualit jewelled belts are daring and sometimes have bracelets or other ornaments to match.
