New High-Frequency Phone Cable Viewed as Possible Conductor for Television
INSTALLATION of a new high frequency telephone cable that is hoped will bring commercial television closer to realization will be started early next year by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company between New York and Philadelphia.
The new type of cable, which was developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories, employs a radically different circuit, known as the "coaxial" circuit. Capable of transmitting a band of frequencies of a million cycles in width, the coaxial circuit will be able to transmit distinct moving pictures, or a large number of telephone conversations.
First in World
The New York-Philadelphia installation, the first of its kind in the world, will be for experimental purposes. Many problems that cannot be explored in a laboratory will be ironed out through this practical application of the new principle of electrical transmission. The construction of a coaxial cable is the ordinary cable source from the ordinary telephone cable. Each coaxial circuit consists of an outer copper conductor in the form of a tube, within which a copper wire is supported by a series of rubber disc insulators. The intervening space is filled with air or nitrogen gas. Besides acting as a conductor, the outer tube serves to shield the transmission path from undesirable external electrical influences. Because of its high frequency range, this new type circuit is considered to be a great stride forward in communication. Its uses should

would permit chain television programs, just as we now have chain radio programs.
In the field of telephone transmission, the coaxial circuit offers great possibilities. It would be possible to transmit some 200 or more telephone conversations simultaneously over a single circuit formed of two coaxial conductors. This contrasts with the four telephone conversations which can be transmitted over a single open-wire circuit with the aid of special equipment now in use on many of the nation's long distance routes.
Tests under actual operating conditions will be made when the installation is complete. It is estimated that the total cost of the project will be about $880,000.

POLICY-WRITER SHOT
Four Times at a Benny Mason Drawing—Watchman Wounded.
Rufus O'Neil, age 43. E. 46th St., a writer in Benny Mason's numbers game operations, was shot and seriously wounded shortly before Monday midnight in an argument with a Mason watchman in Mason's backyard. E. 46th St., just after a drawing had been made. O'Neil is said to have told an officer that the watchman, who keeps order during drawings, shoved him into a water puddle as he entered the yard to watch results. After the drawing, O'Neil said, he hit the watchman, Bert Shell, age 51. E. 77th St., on the head with a bottle and ran. The latter pulled a revolver and fired five times, hitting O'Neil in the shoulder, spine, hip and right wrist. Both were taken to Charity hospital.
The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
The 18th Ward Burton-for-Mayor and Gassaway-for-Council Republic club has been organized with Wm. B. Saunders as president. This "cooks" Councilman Hubbard's "bacon." Many weeks ago, the Rounder warned him that his fight on the Bryant gasoline station would cause the voters in the 18th ward to "dump" him, this fall. Goodbye Hubbard!
What's become of Selby Minor's 12th Ward Democratic councilmanic candidacy? Clark is "shying his castor into the ring" again, it is said. The councilman is independent and canate. Everybody is wondering how much the depopulation of the east end of the ward—from E. 40th St. to 55th, and from Scovill Ave. to Woodland (the Outwasha housing area)—will hurt Councilman Finkle. The Cedar-Central housing area has cost Councilman Payne a "wad" of votes.
Rev. W. H. McKinney, in his sermon, Sunday, in Antioch Baptist church, said the Ethiopian-Italo controversy constitutes a threat to modern civilization and to Christianity's place in the modern world. A survey of our people of the city shows them surprisingly informed and interested in the impending crisis, he said, and added that such a war held great potential danger for the future. "The Old Reliable" Gazette led all local papers in giving the real facts of the Ethiopian-Italo controversy to our people which undoubtedly explains their "surprisingly informed and interested" condition of mind, Mr. McKinney. The Rounder really aims to impress the near near World War imending, a near moral result of Mussolini's aggressiveness particularly in Africa. Note the activity of Great Britain, France and even Japan, these days, as a result of Benito's $107,500,000 preparations (up to June 30) for a war of conquest in Africa. There was much truth in Rev. McKinney's statements, Sunday.
The so-called E. $89th St. playground was formally opened, last week Friday evening, with a parade, in which there were more children than adults, and a short talk by the Mayor, who arrived late, as usual. Clayborne George presided with Councilman Hubbard sitting behind him (as usual) when HE should have presided. The so-called playground is a huge joke! The street-car company gave the city the use of the ground or a nominal rental, and the street-car board said the Mayor for the playground has produced to date a clute and a few drawings that's all. Not even electric lights; no drinking-water, or any other kind, for the children and no toilet arrangements. The grounds haven't even been enclosed. Last week Friday night, they were so dusty that one would never believe that the city of Cleveland rested on the shores of Lake Erie. The so-called E. $88th St. playground and Hubbard's mistreatment of the proprietor of the Bryant gasoline station, at E. $88th St. and Cedar Ave., ought to make sure the nomination of HARLM can candidate for councilman in the 18th ward. Like "The Blossom Triplets" (Payne, Bundy and George) Hubbard's candidacy for re-nomination and re-election is a "pain and a headache." The Rounder and many others feel that it is high time for loyal members of the race in the 18th ward to rid themselves of the pseudo leadership of George and Hubbard.
Ancient Ethiopia (Abyssinia) faces a war that will test to the death the stubborn courage of its warriors in order to preserve their independence.

Both Races Mis-educated by "Jim-Crow" Schools, Says Editor—Huey Long Given Names of Mob Members.
New York City.—Young people of both races in this country are being mis-educated by the existence of segregated schools for "Negroes" declared by the U.S. Department of the Journal of Negro Education," in an article in the August Crisis, Because the "Negro" separate school is not only an educational institution but an instrument of social policy and a symbol of social status, the author asserts, also, that it is undeniable that to segregate is to STIGMATIZE!
"Thus," he says, "when Negroes allow themselves to be cailed into accepting the status defined by the segregation law, to their personalities which is infinitely worse than any of the discomforts some of them may experience in a mixed school."
Dr. Thompson examines the arguments in favor of the separate school and concludes that it does not have any advantages over the mixed school, either in promoting scholastic achievement or in developing competence, or in holding pupils in school. On the subject of mis-education he states:
"Not only is the separate school un-economical and un-democratic but it results in the mis-education of both races. Separation of the two racial groups, at an early age, when they should be learning to know and respect each other, develops anti-racial and provincial attitudes in both, and necessitates, in adulthood, re-education of the remembrances. The net results of such an educational policy are that the Negro develops an almost uneradicable inferiority complex and evolves a set of "jim-crow" standards and values; the white child develops an unwarranted sense of superiority, if not an actual contempt for or indifference towards the Negro. And both races develop a misunderstanding of each other as necessitates of the Negro and ineffective race-relations machinery that we have in this country at the present time."

Huey Long and Lynchers.
U. Huesy Nate Huey P. Long has been sent the names of seven leaders of the mob that beat Adam Avely, July 2, at Ville Platte, La., and asked to see that action is taken against him. He was punished for more than twelve years by a Mrs. P. M. Reed of Villa Platte, got into an argument, over the price of wood with a "cracker," a wood dealer, from whom he was making a purchase for his employer at her direction, that so angered the dealer that he charged Avie with insulting his wife and had Avie jailed. Several leading residents of the town, who knew of Avie's excellent reputation, attempted to put up bond for his release, but were prevented from doing so. Instead, a mob broke into the jail, took Avie into the woods, and whipped him with a brass-studded knife, for a tort, later, treated by a doctor, and taken to New Orleans. Senator Long has been urged by the NAACP to use his power in Louisiana to see that the members of the mob who were recognized and are known, are punished to the full extent of the law. But will he?

EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE
SAYS GOD IS THE ETHIOPIANS" "FORTRESS AND SHIELD"
That He Will Lead and If He Falls, to Fight On— "Better to Die Free Than to Live Without Liberty."
Youngstown, O.—The Ethiopians would be anything but a "push over" for the troops of Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy if he sends them to Abyssinia to do battle with the white-clad fighting men of Emperor Haile Selassie. That's the opinion of Albert Protopapa, 1301 McGuffey in Africa, for his native Italy in Africa, years ago. And it's the opinion of Gaetano Carlomagno and Joseph Randano, who saw military service in the Italian Somaliland and other parts of Africa. Everything from mountains to sharks and monkeys would hinder the Italians from giving Haile Selassie's warriors an airless they depend upon airplanes, as opposed to two ex-soldiers and one a veteran of the Italian navy. And Ethiopia has airplanes, too.
Many Have Relatives in Army.
While these veterans expressed these opinions, hundreds of Italian residents here who have relatives in the Italian army watched the threatening war situation with tenseness as European leaders predicted hostility and a number. And he acts to Italian residents here by pushing offert to get his son over here from his Italian home before the predicted war is declared. Another said his son in Italy expects to be called to service in event of war.
"Abyssinia is mountainous and swampy in the lowlands," said Ex-Warrior Protopapa who came to this country 33 years ago and to Youngstown 18 years ago. "When I was Italian troops had difficulty marching more than eight or 10 miles a day.
It was no picnic, either, according to Protopapa. "Food included nothing more than canned beef and 'hard tack,'" he recalled. "It was the favorite strategy of the enemy to cut off or capture supply trains, then have the Italians at their mercy. Sometimes we went without real food three or four days, depending upon wild jackasses and other jungle beasts which were cooked and eaten with salt.
In addition to fighting the Ethiopians they had to fight jungle beasts of every family.
"The country is full of ferocious animals," he said. "They include even lions and tigers, the latter the most feared because they pounce upon their prey from overhanging branches."
Even Monkeys Enemies.
Even the monkeys were anti-Italian, Protopapa recalled. They would come into camp by the thousands to beg for food in the dead and it out of one's hands. But if an attempt were made to capture one of them there was such a bedlam of noise that the whole jungle population would be attracted to the scene.
One day his captain had a craving for a monkey skin for use as a coat and elected Protopapa to get him the "coat." He had a large specimen on the edge of a high cliff and the dead body rolled over the precipice to 100 feet below. Protopapa attempted to retrieve it and was the target of a rock bombardment staged by hundreds of monkeys who sought a mate from human hands. According to Protopapa, food of the Abyssinians consisted chiefly of rye and oats, ground into a paste and baked over hot ovens.
They are courageous, he said, for it is their belief that to die in battle is to win eternal glory. Carlomagno saw service in Africa from 1911 to 1919, and his knowledge of the country causes him to confirm Protopapa's belief that Italians would have to depend chiefly upon airplanes to conquer the Abyssinians. The sharks didn't bother the sea but they did strangers—particularly Italian troops—doing to Joseph Randano, who served in the Somaliland with the Italian navy in 1903. He said natives sometimes would swim for two miles to reach a ship.

"The Abyssinian troops had all the advantages. They were perched up on the mountains with which they were familiar and would wipe out whole Italian regiments before the latter could even locate their foe.

Emperor Haile Selassie.
unrestrainedly as he asserted he would be among those "to spill all his blood for independence." He told Ethiopians it were better to die free than to live without liberty. Scenes of the battle and in public squares outside, greeted the emperor's fighting speech, in which he repeatedly invoked God's help for the Ethiopian cause. While members of Parliament, tribal chieftains and leaders in army listened, the Emperor said:
The Call to Arms!
"God will be our fortress and shield and the modern armament of aggressors can not deter our duty which is sacred for Ethiopian independence."
The God upon whom he called is the God of Solomon and David, for Emperor Haile Selassie's dynasty claims direct descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Ethiopians are coptic Christians.
"For 40 years Italy has cherished a desire to conquer Ethiopia," the Emperor said, "and since last August he preparations have been in progress, and humiliating demands but announced our willingness to arbitrate and bow to the decision of any impartial tribunal. Italy, on the contrary, continued warlike preparations. Mussolini encouraged his soldiers to believe they were about to write a glorious page in the annals of history. Italy is provided with all the modern methods of warfare. Ethiopia is a poor country but we shall show the world how a united people can fight to preserve their independence."
The Women to Help.
Many in the audience wept as he continued:
"Soldiers: When on the battle field you learn the death of your beloved and respected chief, who has fallen in the defense of liberty, do not weep and do not despair, but those who were termed an infantry and as happy mortals. As in the past, women will heroically participate in the defense of the country, encouraging the soldiers and treating the wounded."
Revealing for the first time that Ethiopia had accepted Britain's illfated proposal for three-way exchange of land to avert war, which Italy rejected. Emperor Haile Selassie reminded Parliament, the soldiers and the country that Ethiopia had accepted an invitation to Ethiopia Mussolini's charge that Ethiopian barbarity precluded peaceful settlement of the dispute, and Il Duce's reference to Italy's "civilizing mission" in Africa.
Ethiopia-Nile dispute.
Emperor Haile Mussie is able to muster, at once, 500,000 warriors, and again as many by the end of the rainy season—in September.
The League of Nations Council will meet to consider the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, about July 29.
Italians already in the colonies of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland are suffering from the intense heat. Temperatures that frequently rise above 3,000°F will enough to be sent back home. An undisclosed number of soldiers have died from sunstroke. Water is so scarce in the seaports that each soldier is allowed only a quart a day for drinking and washing.
In Harlem, upper part of New York City, inhabited by 300,000 Afro-Americans, 1,500 men have volunteered to fight in Abysinia. All that enlisted were charged 25 cents for registration, assured that this work would be completed to an Ethiopian battlefield. In spite of warnings, the "African Esquadrille" is said to have many members.

Announcement that President Roosevelt is to begin a stump-speaking tour immediately after Congress adjourns, in an effort to recapture some of his popularity with the masses of the people, has definitely established that the next Presidential campaign will be underway long before next Spring. The President's swing, coupled with the renewed activity by Republicans, marks the beginning of what probably will be the most historic campaign this country has known in many years—probably since Thomas Woodrow Wilson went down to defeat on his League of Nation's issue.

As The Gazette has taken occasion to say in the past, it repeats, the Jewish people give prejudice against their race "the silent treatment" and do not get anywhere with it. Referring to that fact and speaking of the NAACP's efforts against prejudice against our people, that "jim-crow" school advocate, and segregationist, Kelly Miller, of Washington, D. C., says in one of his recent "releases" speaking of the NAACP, that the organization's work against "jim-crow" cars and schools, disfranchisement, segregation and lynching, etc., has been practically fruitless. Kelly is wrong, again, as usual.

The American originated Kellogg pact against war, and for the settlement of controversies between nations by arbitration, was ignored when Aybessinia appealed to this government to insist upon Italy's obeying the pact it signed. Later, U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull (Dem.) of Tennessee, to whom Emperor Haile Selassie's appeal to our government was handed, declared in favor of the pact but refused to notify Premier Mussolini of Italy, the aggressor in the controversy between that country and Ethiopia (Abyssinia), to live up to the pact. This was cowardly, and most unfair to the African nation, and again shows to the world that in this day and time treaties and pacts are but "scrapes of paper" when any country, a party to them, sees fit to ignore them. Also, that this country is no better than Japan. Germany and other countries that break them with impunity whenever it is to their interests to do so.
ALL SHOULD PAY
In a recent newspaper article, Ina Lippman, the distinguished publicist, pointed out that any sound national taxing system must see to it that every citizen, no matter how large or small his income, pays something in direct taxes. Under present conditions, only a minority of citizens pay any direct taxes whatsoever, and that has given rise to the highly erroneous belief that the majority of citizens are free from taxation—that the services of government come to them for nothing, being paid for by the tax-paying minority. That attitude has been responsible for the amazing indifference of the average citizen toward wasteful, extravagant and over-extended government. He feels that governmental spending means nothing to him, so far as paying his share of the bill is concerned; that deficits are the worry of others, and that increasing appropriations cannot damage his pocket-book—and may benefit it. As a mat-
ter of fact, the majority of citizens, who pay no direct taxes, pay the great bulk of government costs—indirectly. They pay them in higher costs for commodities of all kinds—shoes, electricity, amusement, transportation, everything they use. They pay more rent, more for insurance, more for medical and hospital care—because the taxes levied against businesses and corporations must be passed on to the consumer. It is folly to talk of industry "absorbing" taxes—the user of a product or a service always foots the bill in the long run. If, as Mr. Lippman suggests, every income were subjected to some direct taxation—even if it amounted to only a dollar a year, every citizen would get an inkling of the real meaning of government spending. And when his small tax doubled or trebled he would know what it meant. He would realize his responsibility, and his personal interest in every public appropriation that is made. And that would mark the beginning of an aggressive, nationally-backed movement to force government to be efficient, conservative, economical.
THE HOLE IN YOUR POCKET.
Press dispatches from Washington state that in the last twelve months $7,375,000,000 have been spent, which, with the $7,100,000,000 that was spent the preceding year, makes a total peacetime record spending of $14,475,000,000 for the past two years. Money has been spent twice as fast as it has been collected from the taxpayers. But all the spendings and all the borrowed money must eventually be extracted from the taxpayers' pockets. At the end of the new fiscal year, it is estimated the national debt will be approximately $25,000,000,000, or a per capita debt of $270 on every man, woman and child in the country. These figures are so staggering in size that one cannot grasp them. But the individual tax bills of various kinds that will soon be coming due, can be readily understood by every taxpayer whose pockets will be emptied in order to pay them, Col. Robinson, of the Yakima, Washington, Republic, in answering a "reactionary" citizen who asserted that taxpayers should have a voice in how their money is spent and that it should be spent as economically as possible, said:
"The idea that tax money should be spent economically is just as far out of date as the other. If tax money were spent economically, there wouldn't be more than half of it spent, and that fact alone is sufficient to condemn the idea. The prevailing thought is to spend public funds uneconomically, so that more funds can be raised and spent, thus putting more money into circulation and increasing the purchasing power of the people."
Sarcastic as is this paragraph of the Colonel's, it states a distressingly plain truth. Its lucidity is positively flawless. Some day the people will wake up to the fact that they pay the bill for all the "political presents" that are given to them.

Miss Hall has found the solution to this problem in the serving of wine with seltzer. She simply adds to a half glass of domestic dry white wine of the high fruit acidity type an equal amount of seltzer water and drops in a piece of twisted lemon peel.
It is served cold. The combination provides a delightful taste and makes an especially appropriate light and cooling summer drink. According to Miss Hall, it is possible to use practically any type of good domestic wine of high fruit acidity, the brand used being largely dependent on the individual's own taste.
One authority on wine declares the custom of serving wine with selttor originated some forty or fifty years ago. It was started by an officer in a foreign navy who, realizing that the expense of champagne as a general drink was beyond his allowance, yet wanting a cool and refreshing drink, adopted the habit of injecting a little carbonated water into the wine. This called for having the wine cooled and the custom spread with great rapidity. Many hotels and cafes in this country are featuring this drink at the present time.
Wine Gives Delicious Flavor To Baked Ham
CHEF
ME
Famous Chef Has Excellent Recipe for Baked Ham
IN Boston it's baked beans, but in Virginia it's baked ham, and Fritz Helbig, Chef at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Va., is an expert in preparing this tasty dish.
Chef Helbig has cooked for the crowned heads of Europe and for discriminating diners in renowned establishments on two continents. Born in Leipzig, Saxony, he learned his art at the Weinhaus Bodenstein, and later became assistant chef at the Weinhaus Kempinski, the most famous wine-house in the world, an establishment covering a city block in extent and employing 140 cooks.
Chef Helbig's favorite recipe for a Virginia Baked Ham calls for the use of domestic claret wine in the basting process in order to impart that extra delicious flavor for which these hams have gained world wide fame.
His recipe is as follows:
Wash the ham thoroughly in warm water, and then in cold water for ever night, in enough cold water to cover ham.
Place in a large boiler with sufficient cold water, and then in warm water with tap on boiler, until ham is tender and large bone in butt of ham becomes very loose and protroides. The average ham requires 10 to 20 minutes.
When ham is done remove from boiler, and when cool enough remove skin from ham. Wash the ham in open baking pan, bake in oven only long enough for fat to become brown, basting the ham completely with red wine while in the oven. Study with.

REAL folks indeed are George Frame Brown's latest characters of the air, "Tony and Gus." Young, ebullent Tony with his Caruso-like tenor voice, his fine, generous nature, his quick sympathies and sudden enthusiasm. And Gus, stolid, slow of speech, simple as a child and honest as the break of day. And so amusingly quick to show his physical prowess by bending, with bare hands, the pole of an old-fashioned brass bed or tossing a burly rufflan over a fence.

In "Tony and Gus," Mr. Brown, who plays the latter character, has created two real human beings whose days are filled with that odd mixture of humor and pathos which dots the lives of all people. What's more, the role of Tony is played by the celebrated tenor, Mario Chamlee of the Metropolitan Opera company. That means music of the best sort—generally two songs every day of the week that the show is broadcast over the NBC blue network. It's heard Monday through Friday for fifteen minutes.

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 urged less严的 also 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:
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. 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 and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. 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. 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 dispurse 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 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 is indiscriminate, earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so 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 costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or murdered of it in favor 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 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or

comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county, failing to protect such prisoner or disurse 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, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars or imprisoned not less than fifty dollars or imprisoned not less 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 or son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
---
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble in 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.

If you would hold on to the freshness of young womanhood as long as possible, try to avoid useless pain and nervousness at monthly periods. So much suffering from painful menstruation is due to the poor posture, instrument. For that, take CARDUI!

You ought to find out whether Cardui will help you, since so many women have said it helped them. You ought to take Cardui like the directions on each bottle say. Get a bottle, today. Of course, it does not benefit YOU, enough.

Economic Recognition—Our National Association of Women.
"The Negro may pray for recognition, but let him then hardly brush off his knees before he starts working for it," urged Eugene K. Jones of the U. S. Department of Commerce, Wednesday night. He spoke to members of our National Association of Women in biennial convention at Mt. Zion Cong. church.
"We have economically," he said. "I have suggested the government investigation in 30 large cities to discover what has kept us from advancing economically. I expect it to be sanctioned within two weeks. The government already has compared the abilities of colored and white workers to produce industrially and has found no scientific proof of difference. Our president has made an honest effort to give Negroes a fair trial and has accomplished more than any other. He has given us a start, but there is a long way to go."
At a business session in the afternoon Jane Hunter, secretary of the P. W. A., proposed a resolution requesting that "the federal government include in its plans for economic adjustment larger opportunities for the training of our women in the field of computer science projects for academic advancement being set up." The resolution was adopted.

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 hashbash in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assassin!

Isle of Wight
Floating Bridge Between Cowes and East Cowes.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society.
Washington, D. C.-WNU Service.
ENGLAND'S sunny island of Wight is a sort of cork in the harbor of Southampton. The incoming tide splits on the island.
It piles up the Solent funnel on one side; then, a few hours later, it follows through Spithead on the other side. That is why the world's biggest liners can dock at Southampton.
On the landward coast of the island is Cowes, famous city of regattas. Along its narrow streets quaint, ancient houses alternate with stores that display anchors and steering wheels, nautical caps and field glasses, marine photographs and all the burnished brass appurtenances of yachting. Every few doors tearooms offer tempting scones and crumpets; and there are miniature branches of famous shops of Regent street and Piccadilly.
Along the water front spreads the spacious Esplanade, with the Royal Squadron headquarters projecting upon it. This is the yachting capital of the world. The sun glistens upon the plate glass of the protruding gallery, grandstand for royalty and high naval officers, who largely constitute the membership of the "most exclusive club in the world."
There they watch the races of Regatta week, when the Solent waters are flecked by fleecy clouds of canvas, dotted by rainbow bunting and pennants, and, when night comes, agitator with myriad bobbing lights. Members of this club, and none other, may fly the white pennant of St. George on their yachts; only members and officers of the Royal navy are privileged to land at its neat jetty. One world-famous yachtsman, who spent millions upon his hobby, was not admitted to membership until shortly before his death.
By night or day all the big ships that put in at Southampton must pass the deeper channel within half a mile of Cowes. The parapet of the Esplaande seems built as an elbow support to keep sea-gazers from tumbling into the water. All the houses on the galerylike hillside of the town have enormous plate-glass windows turned toward the sea. As a place to watch the world go by in ships, Cowes is an unsurpassed marine grandstand.
East Cowes Is Industrious.
Across the leisurely Medina river, East Cowes takes on the industries which Cowes proper, and consciously prim, seems to spurn. There is a ship-building yard which supplies lifeboats for steamers and for beach guards, and there is an aircraft factory which builds amphibian planes.
Every store on the precarious hillside streets is a reminder of the island's intense preoccupation with the sea, offering paraphernalia ranging from oyster tongs to hawkers, and there are many shops that make shiny marine engineering parts.
It was among the marshlands of East Cowes that Queen Victoria as a girl collected seaweed, and formed an attachment for the island that led to her purchase of Osborne House, which became her favorite place of residence. It is there today, very much as she left it, a gift of King Edward VII to the nation in her memory. The terrace commands the marine view which the good queen loved, vistas of blue ocean through groves of exotic trees—corks, Ilexes, deodars, as well as pines and cedars.
To reach any part of the Isle of Wight entails no longer journey than taking a taxi across Greater London; it is not quite 23 miles long and nowhere wider than 13 miles. Driving due south from Cowes, across its axis, gives a quick picture of its peculiar geography. At first the countryside is wooded, and the clearings are fields and meadows where cabages, carrots, and broccoli grow, or sheep and cattle graze.
Forests and Truck Farms.
From the thick forests of the northern island came the timbers of many an old mansion and cottage of southern England, and today their dining-room tables are provided with vegetables by the Wight's truck gardens and rich milk from its herds of Guernseys. Anyone who has eaten in English inns or on English trains must wonder about the source of all the cabbage served with potatoes at nearly every meal. Wight can account for many tons of it.
Soon the trees and farms give way to vast expanses of acres carpeted with heather, gorse, ferns, and occasional low, wind-blown trees. The downs, with as many sectional names as a London street, are formed by chalk uplands which stretch straight west and east across the island, humping to some 700 feet at places, and
thrusting fractured fragments into the sea at the Needles on the west and Culver Cliff on the east. The pedestrian who yields to the spell of their lonely paths gets an impression of a height much greater than the altitude warrants. One can climb across them in an hour's walk at their widest part. The southern half of Wight is a "bowl." sagging between the downs and the seaside cliffs that look so bleak to ship passengers as they round the island for Southampton. Barren they are, these corrugated cliffs, but the islanders call them their sun trap because they cut off the fogs and temper the ocean winds. The trees are not so many, but the soil is fertile, the climate is milder, and the crop yield greater in this sheltered sancer.
Most of Wight's attraction for visitors and its wealth of historic associations—ranging from the Roman occupation, through Jutish immigration, Danish assault, French attacks, and pirate raids—cling to its coast. Eastward from sedate Cowes is the up-and-coming resort town of Rydne, with its lamp posts that wear garlands of flowers, its tiny tramcars, and its spike promenade where, on cloudless days, women knit as they garner sun tan. Its long, spiderly pier is landing place for thousands of "trippers" from Portsmouth every summer week-end, and its domed pavilion offers concerts and "snack" counters for their entertainment.
Second only to Cowes week is the regatta of Rydne's Royal Victoria Yacht Club. And a pretty touch is a children's regatta, held at their large boating lake, where young mariners sail elaborate toy craft and ride about in padle-wheel boats propelled by handles.
Brading an Old Town.
An hour's easy walk south of Rydes is "Ye Kyne's Towne of Brading," where beaches and bathing machines, piers and yachts seem very far away. Yet along Brading's high and dry High street streets once sailed under the caves of the timbered buildings, and one might pick from a score of shipmasters to take a cargo into the most distant port. Brading recalls the days when towns were set far up the island's meager rivers, or well back in some arm of the sea, as a protection against invasion or pirate raids. Yet the inhabitants, expert in their knowledge of tides and treacherous channels, could put out to salt water to fish or trade. Long ago slit blocked Brading's harbor, and now dikes have thrust the sea some two miles from its center.
Brading church, the oldest in the island, is mentioned in Domesday Book. In its chapel is buried Sir John Olander, who was garnerring his salty chronicles of Wight while the Pilgrims were struggling to survive at Plymouth and the early Maryland settlers were putting forth from Cows to St. Mary's. East of Brading, sheltered among the cliffs, is the lovely seaside village of Bembridge, which the world seems to have passed by. The town lies along the embankment, "the only level mile on the island," which has severed Brading Harbor from its name town, and this situation gives it the aspect of "Little Holland."
Beauty of the Cliffs.
The camera, better than words, can portray the bold beauty of the Foreland, the majestic curvature of Whitecliff bay, and the crumbling promontory of Culver Cliff, where the dows hare their chalky face to the sea. Very often the encroaching tides have carved under the steep cliffs until they lean out, like the sagging old houses in Brading and Shanklin. Walking too near their edge is precarious, for often huge blocks break off and tumble several hundred feet into the ocean.
"Back of the island," as the southeastern corner is locally known, such subsidence on a large scale has produced the Undercliff, where ages ago the sea and the frost, together with numerous springs, toppled over the cliff top for some six miles, forming a benchlike secondary cliff.
The island springs have cut deep fissures through the cliffs; two of the most famous of these are Blackgang Chine and Shanklin Chine. Near the entrance to the latter is a graceful fountain with a shield bearing the English and American flags and lines written by Longfellow when he visited "lefty Shanklin." But the cliffside town's principal literary association is with Keats, who, during many happy months there, wrote "Lamia." Near Shanklin is Ventnor, Wight's miniature Atlantic City. Long rows of boxlike bathing machines, painted in many colors and odd designs, and children riding ponies on the hard sand, give its beach a sprightly aspect.

Linen Suit a Midsummer Favorite
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
THE present vogue for linen is nothing short of sensational. Whether you go diting, dancing, swimming, flying, motoring, golfing or shopping, or play tennis, there's a linen for every occasion from rustic crashes and peasant weaves and colorful Tahitian prints to aluring novelties in stripes and plaids and in sheer lovely effects for high-style evening wear. Midsummer days are proving that linen suits, especially in white and natural tones, are of first interest among best dressed women for about-town wear. A linen suit and a wardrobe of blouses and the problem of being smartly appareled during the daytime hours is solved not only for the immediate moment but for well on into the fall, since the very newest linens are in wine shades, in Dubonnet red, in beetroot, purple and orange tones.
Just now, while the weather is warm, it's the white and natural linens that are lending their immaculate and well-groomed appearance to the summer scene. The trio of stunning suits pictured represent the very creme de la creme in linens as now featuring on the style program.
The young woman seated shows that she knows fashion in that with her suit of moygashel linen, in natural color, she is wearing a dark blouse, the same being brown with white polka dots. You are doing the right thing this season if to wear with your white and natural linens you choose dark accessories. The coat is single breasted with buttons all the way up to the collarless neckline. A novel idea is introduced in the placement of deep large pockets above the belt line. Raglan sleeves and a final touch of smartness to this linen classic.
The other two suits are also of moygashel linen. It is rather inter-
SMART BEACHWEAR
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
This beach ensemble is out of the ordinary. It is fashioned of purple fisneth lace over a linen foundation. Which again proves that lace goes everywhere this season. The ensemble consists of a pair of shorts and blouse with a wrap-around skirt. The large hat is of purple straw.
esting to know in this connection that King George sends the flax grown on his royal estate at Sandringham, England (supposed to be the finest flax in the world) to Meygashel, Ireland, there to be woven, because the workmanship is so fine—quite a royal pedigree for these linens.
The two-piece centered in the group has a tight-fitting basque coat with no belt to disturb the natural line. It is of white linen with navy buttons and tie. The double binding to the coat which gives a veste effect is new and smart. The sports flap pockets are chic, too.
Handstitching around the notched collar and the pockets gives a distinctive touch to the white linen suit to the right. The stitching and the belt are in matched coloring. The coat is double-breasted, and a polka dot shirt is worn under it.
A very fashionable thing to do is wear a bright colored linen coat or jacket with your white linen skirt. Lilac colored linens for these coats are the rage with beetroot or Dubonnet red close seconds. Then, too, novelty linens with nubby surface or loose porous weave are in good style for suits and for coats. These heavier suits are mostly in oyster white. Very "nifty" ones are shadow-checked in gray and some stunning weaves are in herringbone patterned flecked with brown. There are lovely embroidered linens shown for dressier wear and sheer striped linens are made up into fascinating evening gowns, as formally as if they were stately silks. With the new fall tweed suits designers are creating clever blouses of fine handkerchief linens in colorings related to the costume entire.

SHOE COMFORT IS MOST IMPORTANT
To be footloose and free during the season of pleasant week ends and after-dark breathing spaces, one must have foot comfort.
Cool shoes with flexible construction are a likely way of getting this comfort, with preference given lightweight numbers, and those that are ventilated by perforations, lattice and cut-outs.
Novelties in shoes are always at their peak in the summer season, and they are usually far more moderately priced than the novelties thought up for evening shoes to complement formal winter costumes.
Sandals of printed linen or crash, slippers covered with gay flowered chiffon, oxfordes of splendid supporting strength, perforated into lacy prettiness, plain cotton or linen shoes of any color you can name, plaid linen in natural tones, checked gingham in kitchen apron designs, lightweight suede in any pastel hue or any flag hue and crocheted string shoes are just a few of the kinds you can choose from in the shops.
Oriental Influence Seen
in Evening Clothes Styles
The Hindu influence, inspired by the Maharashtra of India, has initiated a definite swing away from fitted, bias lines to softly draped designs in evening clothes. Allied influences, such as Persian, Arabian, and a new version of Grecian folds, contribute to the same effect. These flattering, age-old drapery details are difficult to make and hence are not easily copied, a point being stressed now in high style circles. Alix, the Parisian contouriere, has turned out a thrilling array of Oriental formal gowns. Most of them are topped with seductive saris, those long, scarf-like affairs which start out by wrapping around the body and then proceed to cover the head in the manner of a monk's hood.

New Gold Area
New Gold Area Rich in Promise
GREAT activity is occurring in the Thunder Bay district of Northern Ontario where some of the most promising gold claims of recent years are being staked. The area came into prominence last year and more than a thousand prospectors are now said to be embing adjacent territory and the country west and south of Lake Nipigon. In 1934, most of the 6842 claims registered in the Port Arthur mining district office were situated in the Thunder Bay area and on these claims, each of which are squares of 40 acres or 18 to the square mile. Five mines are now actively producing. Their daily gold milling output is 400 tons of ore. Power is supplied by the Provincial hydroelectric plant of the Nipigon River and it is the cheapest power in the province for such purpose. Ontario's annual gold production is enormous. In 1934, the gold mines of Ontario contributed $72,700,000 or almost 69 per cent of the total production of the whole of Canada.
