There are thousands of little black spots on its back and it has got the queer shaped head," came an excited feminine voice over the line to an information operator at The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's switchboard in Akron. That almost floored the telephone girl. Never before had the problem of a worm's pedigree come up in her business. She knew her numbers, but not a thing about the family phylum Vermes. Platyhelminth, nemathelminth and trochelminth were just elongated words to her. "A worm, good heavens," thought the operator.

However, she was a good information operator even if her information didn't extend to zoology. She ad-directed her research sub-criber to call the Farm Bureau.

The Gazette fills a real place in the community, and I wish for you and your paper, many years of con- tinued usefulness. Sincerely yours, Mary B. Grossman. A The ROUNDER Meeting one of St. James A. M. E. church-members, last Tuesday, The Rounder said to him well, I see your pastor (Rev. David O. Walker) is out for Harold Burton for mayor, "Yes," said he, "I was, too, and confident he would win, until I leashed that Rev. Walker was supporting him. You know that sort of discouraged me because our pastor has never been with a winner since he came to Cleveland. He has always been on the wrong side. Even in the charter fights, this was true." One of our local race contemporaries sure hit the nail on the head in its issue of last week when it ran a page head-line which read: "Burton Pledges Audiences, But Promises That was true and is one of the reasons why he will refuse to vote for him, next Tuesday. . . His reply when questioned, that he was making no "commitments" did not explain his financial support by wealthy members of the Chamber of Commerce and others. Did they support him, financially and personally, with "commitments"? I wonder! --- On a card advertising a mass meeting, last week Wednesday evening for Mayor Harry L. Davis and Councilman Hubbard at 2343 E. 86th St. Perry L. Jackson, Charlie White, L. Lancey and Rev. Wm. Todd were the two members of the son were the two members of the race who with Mayor Davis, helped Russell Jellife, director of the Neighborhood Association (E. 38th St. Playhouse) to continue the vile, rotten and insulting play known as "Stevdore" in spite of the protests of our local ministers and others, some months ago. The Rounder suggests that you remember this when you go to vote. Tuesday. As a re-actor with a fictional episode, some of our people nicknamed Charlie White and Perry Jackson. "The Stevdore Twins". St. James forum's "Councilmanic Day", Sunday afternoon, was featured by the ABSENCE of Councilman John E. Hubbard, altho he, Peter Boult, John A. Cobbs, Moses H. Dixon and Harold T. Gassaway our Ward 18 candidates for the council, were given special invitations to attend. Looks like Hubbard began running out of the contest early. As we go up the stairs, the crowd with considerable satisfaction, that Gassaway seems to be the winner. That was what Hubbard apparently felt so keenly, Sunday afternoon, that he "took to the woods". When one recalls that it was Walker that led Hubbard into that fight against the Bryants, who have two children of school age as well as the gasoline station, and notes Walker's political views, that makes the old truthful statement, that "ingrattitude is the greatest crime in the calendar", ring in one's ears. --- Monday evening, the Hubbard-Gassaway forces in the 18th ward clashed, after a fashion. Only a few persons attended the Councilman's meeting in Temple Baptist church so they adjourned early and went down to the vicinity of Woodman's Hall corner of E. 83rd St. and Central Ave., where a Gassaway-for-Council mass meeting was holding forth to the Bryant campus, the opened the hall and part of the streets adjacent to it. Among the speakers at this Gassaway meeting was the Rev David Ormond Walker, whose fight on the Bryant gasoline station, at E. 84th St. and Cedar Ave., aided and abetted by Councilman John E. Hubbard, gave rise and strength, more than anything else, to the Harold T. Gassaway candidacy. Walker's turn against his quondam friend and satellite, Hubbard, is the talk of the East End. Other speakers scheduled at the Gassaway candidacy were Wm. H. Randolph, Wm. H. Sea-wright and Mrs. Ora E. Wise, Atty. Wm. B. Saunders presided and music was furnished by the Myers and Deep River quartets. COMING CHAMP COMING CHAMP THE BOXING FIGHTER New York City.—It looks like a nonstop flight to the top of the pulighelah for Joe Louis. There remains now not the slightest doubt of his two-fisted greatness, least of all in the minds of upward of 90,000 onlookers who saw the 21-year-old Detroit boy, on his bridal evening, mow down Max Meyer with a punching gun fire. Never wasting a blow and rarely slackening a punching pace that has had few equals in heavyweight history. Joe knocked out the former champion in the fourth round of a scheduled 15-round match that revived all the glamour of the prize ring in a near-million-dollar spectacle at the Yankee stadium. Baer not only was completely outassessed but his box Louis. He was knocked down three times, twice in the third round, where the bell saved him as he sat blinking on the floor. He was counted out while swaying on one knee near the end of the fourth round. It was not only the greatest heavyweight WALZ FILLS HALL WITH ENTHUSIASM WALZ FILLS HALL WITH ENTHUSIASM Four Major Candidates Fail to Appear, But The Game Doctor Battles on. Failure of the four major mayorally candidates to accept the invitation to appear at F. W. McGee's presidential candidate, to appear at a meeting at Public Hall, one night last week, did not affect in any degree the enthusiasm of either the speakers or the audience. "Machine politics" was the windmil at which all speakers tilted their words to the spoils system and the newspapers ranking second and third as dragons. "In their abuse of each other all these candidates are doing is telling the truth about each other," Dr. Walt said, adding that the political machines, with the newspapers doing their share, had brought the city to its present deplorable condition." This time we have four machines instead of two, the two parties have split, with the regular cratic machine backing Miller, headed by Gongwer; the independent Democratic machine backing Gorman headed by Sweeney; the independent Republican machine backing Burton, headed by Maschke, and Davis heading his own, of course," Walz said. Plays Up to Labor. "There is not much to say about Davis—he stands in full view of the people. But I might add that, while he plays up to labor, his dogger-love (?), is circulated by scab circulators." Miller, he characterized as the boy who had "played ball" with the party so that Gongwer was mayor for two years. He disposed of Gorman by SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MING CHA CHAMP nder Boy Joe Louis, the Wonder Boy show but also one of the most one-sided, top-flight heavyweight matches since the famous Tex Rickard died. In 11 minutes and 50 seconds the youth punched Baer into a bloody, senseless wreck. $200,000 Richer. On his honeymoon day, upward of $240,000 richer, and taking it all with the monochrome camera he activates his amazing ring workmanship, Joe Louis seemingly has no worries about a pugilistic future that contemporary word artists are painting in the gaudiest possible hues. His twenty-fifth consecutive victory and his twenty-first knockout since he turned professional, scarcely 14 months ago, capped the climax of the most spectacular march through all opposition to the world championship. The title held by the ex-stevedeer, but it will be the jackpot's goal, but it will be a year before he gets the chance to take it. Schmeling Is Next. A match with Max Schmeling, the German, who once wore the heavy- saying he had had no experience in municipal affairs. "Of all the candidates, Burton is the most dangerous, with his smooth oratory and his backing by the newspapers," he said. "I dub him as the friend of public utilities privately owned and I judge him by the company he keeps," he continued, naming Manjee Maschke, Edwin D. Barry, Miles E. Morgan, and one of the (Ponentiary) Schoolleys, who, he said, occupied a post at Burton headquarters. "What this city needs is a doctor and not undertakers," was his parting shot. Strong applause punctuated his speech throut. The Next Councilman From Ward 18 — Something of His Career Here And in the South. Harold T. Gassaway was born, Aug. 5, 1893, at Anderson, South Carolina. He is the father of two children. His wife, Ethel Sutton Gassaway, is a graduate of Ohio College and for several years was a member of the faculty of Wilberforce University, Mr. Gassaway was educated in the public schools of Arkansas and of liberal arts at Clark University, attended Moorehouse College, and in 1922 received his degree from the law department of Howard University, Washington, D. C. In 1923 he was admitted to the bar and since has practiced in all the courts of Cleveland. In 1928, he was admitted to practice in the U. S. Supreme Court. Mr. Gassaway was a sergeant in the 349th U. S. Field Artillery in the World War serving in France in the front line trenches. Aside from his practice of the law, he has been active in religious, fraternal and civic --- --- $200,000 Richer HAROLD T.

Promoter Mike Jacobs says he plans to match Louis and Schmeling for a 15-round fight at either of New York's big ball parks, next June, the winner to box Braddock for the title in September. Joe Louis Barrow was married to Mario Murray, a Chicago stenographer. Tuesday evening he was to climb thru the ropes to trade punches with Max Baer. While a noisy crowd waited outside, the wonder boy, age 21, calmly went thru the ceremony. Then without a change of expression he rode off to the Yankee stadium, the scene of the conflict, behind a screaming motorcycle escort. The ceremony was performed in the Harlem apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Porter, friends of the brother, by the Rev. W. C. Trotter, minister of Chicago. Joe came out of his battle with flaer without a mark on his face. He will tour South America in December looking for fights. organizations, also making an excellent record for thrift and industry. He has been active in the political affairs of the 18th ward for the past ten years, serving as president of the ward Republican club, three consecutive years. He is now a member of its board of trustees. Last fall, Atty, Gassaway was nominated as a candidate for the State Legislature on the Republican ticket. His MEMBERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS! Lemuel Y.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1935. On Sept. 1, six additional "Negro" reserve officer-chapains and eleven new educational advisers, for assignment to civilian conservation corps camps of color, were appointed by the government. Five additional educational advisers were appointed Monday, for Illinois and Michigan camps. July 1, there were 30,000 of our juniors and war veterans in CCC camps of color. Thus does our government, controlled by southern "crackers", encourage and increase the segregation of the race, in the north! Roland Hayes, the internationally known tenor-soloist, has donated over 500 box-seats for his concert in Carnegie Hall, N. Y. City, Nov. 8, '25, to the NAACP. The seat-prices range from two to three dollars each. Each of the boxes accommodate eight persons. It is to be hoped that the NAACP will not squander that money in the courts of Texas fighting that state's color-line in its Democratic primaries, or waste it, sponsoring a federal anti-lynching bill that at best could only result in the enactment of an UNCONSTITUTIONAL federal anti-lynching "law". THE CRUX OF THE MATTER. In a telegram to President Roosevelt, last week, the NAACP asserted that "the U. S. senators who filibustered against the Costigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching bill, last Spring, lied and knew they were lying when they claimed the states could, and would prevent lynchings, and punish lynchers." The NAACP is only PART right in making this statement. As a matter of fact, a number of northern states do "prevent lynchings and punish lynchers" We have reference to those states in this section of the country that have mob violence acts or anti-lynching laws, based upon our Ohio law of that kind. Southern states could do the same thing if they would, but refuse to do so because they are determined not to interfere with their barbaric mob violence exhibitions, a disgrace to all of The United States of America. If mob violence and lynching is ever to be prevented and those who participate in lynch-murders are to be punished, it must be done by state laws because no constitutional federal anti-lynching legislation can be enacted by the U. S. congress, as we have repeatedly stated in the last quarter of a century and more. This is, and has been for many years the mature judgment of this country's leading statesmen and jurists. The sooner the NAACP and all other misguided persons, who seek federal legislation against mob violence and lynching, recognizes this fact, the better for all concerned. FASHIONS IN FREEDOM. FASHIONS IN FREEDOM. "Al" Smith, one of the nation's leading citizens, former governor of New York and Democratic candidate for president, is respected by all for his integrity, his sincerity and his shrewdness in analyzing public questions. As the principal speaker at a recent dinner in New York, he said to his hearers. "Keep your eye on the Constitution." About the same time the German State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Justice was informing a public gathering that the will of Hitler is the supreme law of the land. In the United States the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the lives, liberties and fortunes of our people are not subject to the wills of dictators. But "Al" Smith knows, as do other statesmen, that there are definite designs in our own United States to revise the Constitution as a document outworn —as though there were fashions in freedom. This design has shown itself in suggestions to deprive the highest judicial branch of government, the United States Supreme Court, of the power to effectively uphold what is left of the Constitution. If any think this is not a step in the direction of intolerant dictatorship as we witness it in the rest of the world, let them think again! The legislative attempts of the past several years to circumvent the Constitution, have been plain and only the power of the United States Supreme Court to pass on such acts, has saved the American citizen his personal liberties and his property rights, and prevented him from having the chains of dictatorship forged upon him. Take heed of the advice of men who today put country above party and stand for the perpetuation of unadulterated Americanism fostered and encouraged by Constitutional government unchanged in principle from its original design. WALZ FOR MAYOR! When Harry L. Davis was governor of Ohio, he failed to give our people of this county any recognition whatever. While he was mayor prior to two years ago, the jobs our folk received were secured for them by Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization. Two years ago when the former mayor was a candidate for re-election, in his speech at the Globe Theater the night before election he promised our people "more and better recognition, representation". The theater was jammed and all heard him. Up to this date he has NOT kept that promise. When this matter is called attention to occasionally some one of the Mayor's supporters of color will call attention to the Charlie White appointment in the director of law's department as proof that he has given us better representation. Chester Gillespie says he held that position, years ago. As a matter of fact the Mayor has NOT given us "more and better representation", or the representation we are entitled to. Since we constitute nearly one-third of the total Republican vote of the city of Cleveland, our people are entitled to ONE, if not two cabinet positions. When asked to give us this representation, the Mayor flatly refused to do so but did appoint an Irishman, a Pole, a German, and several others, members of his cabinet, when from 80 to 90 per cent of the voters they are supposed to represent directly are Democrats. Not one of them represents a class or group of Republicans that gives the party anything like the number of votes, our people roll up at every election. Then too, our city job-holders under the mayor are forced to pay monthly assessments of $2, more or less, and in addition special assessments are foisted upon them during the campaign which they must pay or lose their jobs. This is particularly true of those who live in the 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th wards, represented in City Council, respectively, by Payne, Finkle, Bundy and Hubbard. Davis' Republican opponent for the nomination as mayor, is Harold H. Burton, former Director of Law and later Acting Mayor of the city. Mr. Burton refuses to make any "commitments". Therefore, it is impossible to learn how he feels toward giving our people the representation in his cabinet we are justly entitled to, in case he should be nominated and elected. While acting mayor he made no changes in the cabinet he inherited. No one for a moment will believe that Mr. Burton has failed to make "commitments" to the wealthy business men of the community who are backing his candidacy, financially! Nevertheless, he flatly refuses to say whether or not he is favorable to giving our people the representation they are entitled to. That settles Mr. Burton's candidacy as far as The Gazette is concerned, because as a matter of fact it arrays his candidacy right along side of that of Mayor Harry L. Davis' and he has flatly refused, for nearly two years past, to give us the representation in his cabinet we are entitled to on the score of our potency as a very important factor of the Republican party of the city of Cleveland. When a member of the city council, Dr. F. W. Walz showed his REAL friendship for our people by introducing and securing the enactment of a resolution which put the "capsheaf" on the three-year fight of The Gazette to open the City Hospital Nurses's Training School to our girls, and the institution to our internes to train in, after it had been "closed to them for more than four years under City Manager W. R. Hopkins and his welfare director, Dudley S. Blossom. Councilman Walz did this, too, with our three councilmen at that time (Payne, Bundy and George), "The Blossom Triplets", sitting supinely by with never a word to say in behalf of the doctor's resolution. Dr. F. W. Walz, former councilman, is the only candidate for mayor who has established beyond all question or doubt his REAL FRIENDSHIP for our people, and he is the only one, who if nominated and elected mayor of the city of Cleveland, would have the "guts" to give us what we are entitled to, and to do it without a whole lot of importunity. So if you want to vote for a real friend of the race, for mayor, one who is not the candidate of racketeers, vandals and what not (Davis); and one who is not being designated as "the Chamber of Commerce candidate", as in the case of Harold H. Burton who refuses us a cabinet "commitment", vote for Dr. F. W. Walz for mayor, one week from Tuesday next. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY.

Make your face much younger and beautiful by wearing the following mask for a few hours: Just warm some sweet almond oil and saturate bits of cotton with it. Then cut out eyes, nose and mouth holes in some gauze. Lay the cotton over the face and cover it with cotton over it. After a few hours, your face will be 50 per cent more lovely. The following were among the O. S. U. students to return to Columbia, near New York, Malcolm, William Williams, Theo Cook, Clive Graves and Samuel Copeland.

In 1897 college courses were begun and in 1982 it became our first institution in Missis- sippi to receive a “Standard Four- Year College, Class B” rating from the Southern’ Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the regional accrediting agency for the American Association of Universities and Col- leges, It is located in the heart of a plantation population, 20 miles from Jackson, the capital of Missis- sippl. The 1930 census reported 1,009,718 Afro-Americans and 1,000,- 006 white residents in that state, The original college building was a plan- tation mansion built for a bride who did not live to occupy it. During President Holmes’ administration, new buildings were erected at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars. The Tougaloo enrollment last year was 112 college students with 190 in its senior and junior high and ele- mentary classes, ‘Wise Sayings.

Addis Ababa.—Emperor Haile Se- lassie held, last Friday, that a clause in the League of Nations’ peace plan implying special economic conces- sions for Italy in this country was unacceptable. All other proposals, he indicated, are satisfactory, and said he would not countenance any project giving Italy special rights, whether of an economic, political ot of any other nature, nor would he permit any deviation trom Ethiopia's sovereignty in dealing with all mat- ters within the country. The em- peror thereupon called a special meet- ing of his advisers to consider further the committee's proposals. Lloyd George Sees Greater War ‘Ahead. Bradford, England.—David Lloyd George, this country’s World ‘War premier, addressing the Council for Peace and Reconstruction, last week Thursday, criticized the Geneva of- fers to Italy as insufficient. “You cannot propitiate a hungry tiger with salted boulders,” he said. France, he said, had offered Italy 110,000 square miles of desert with @ population of 62, but Mussolini was not satisfied with sand and there- Tore was offered two other deserts, one of sand and one of rock. “There is only one thing we have succeeded in doing," he said “France, Britain and the United States had one triumph—they prevented Abys- sinia from buying any munitions to defend its liberty, The last war was {terrible but you are heading straight headlong downward into a great war", ‘The Cabinet Backs British Stand, London, England. — The British cabinet’ met, ‘Tuesday, and unani- fmously approved Britain's course in the Ethiopian dispute, including Brit- ain’s stand at Geneva for complete enforcement of the lexgue covenant The cabinet, after hearing a. sum- mary by Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, of all action to date, rati- fied the steps taken.

An Anthropologist Traces the Ethi- opian Race — He Says They Are 80 Per Cent White—As a Matter of Fact They Are Too Black to Be White, “To the anthropologist, it is con- fusing that Emperor Haile Selassie has selected ‘Ethiopia’ as the official name of his country,” said Dr. Wilton M. Krogman, associate professor of anatomy and physical anthropology of the School of Medicine of Western Reserve University, last week. “In the interests of clarity, the name of the country should remain ‘Abyssinia,’ and ‘Ethiopic, the name of the country’s language, Originally the word ‘Ethiopian’ was a generic term for Negro. Abyssinians today are actually about 80 per cent Hamite —white—and 20 per cent Negro. The history of the population of Abyssinia is one of the mysteries of ethnology. Aboriginally, it was probably Negro, as seen in certain tribes known as Wata and Mango. The Hamites came into the country about 2000 B. C., a white race with some Semitic mix- ture, though I am convinced that the Semitic content is overemphasized as far as physical type is concerned. Their religion and culture is largely Semitic. The Ethiopian language is akin to Arabic and Hebrew, and closest to the Sabaean of the thir- teenth century A. D. There is a cer- tain kinship between the Abyssinians and the Italians in the round-about way that the Hamites resemble the Egyptians who are members of the Mediteranian race as are also the Italians, This remote basic relation- ship is interesting in the light of present national affairs.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society. each other's posters when two show IN MIDSUMMER the circus season is at its height. Since early spring troupers have been donning their costumes daily, and trained animals from every corner of the globe in colorful trappings have delighted young and old. Geographically, the circus has been a great educator. Long before automobiles, motion pictures, and radio broke down the barriers between isolated regions of the United States and the advancing world outside, the circus was taking its artists, its comedy, its music and its nomadic college of zoology into almost every state and territory. The world's largest circus might even advertise that it carries the original New York cast, because it takes on tour precisely the same show that opens in Madison Square garden. Whatever else the peripatetic amusement venture is or is not, the fact remains that it is real. There are no circus "doubles" to perform the difficult feats, and there are no substitutes for those who may not feel "up" to the ordeal of two shows a day, "rain or shine." Years ago leaders in this field of entertainment learned that the formula for permanent survival included a whole-hearted attempt to give the public something it never had beheld before, surrounding it with a dazzling array of sustaining attractions. This hard-and-fast rule has persisted through the years, amid a procession of magic names: Jumbo, Tom Thumb; Chang, the Chinese Titan; Zachinti, human cannon ball; Tom Mix, whose Rough Riders carry the spirit of the old West to every state it the Union; Gollath, monster sea-elephant; Ubangi savages from Darkest Africa. Because the circus is nondurable in its quest for business, it always has been of necessity a fighting institution. Therein lies one of its major bids for fame. Like a gay explorer who finds each day's journey a fresh problem to tackle, the circus struggles against a perfect maze of daily entanglements that threaten to ensnare it like a colossal Gulliver. The circus has battled the weather and it has fought grafting officials who threaten to dig up some excuse for fining or trying up the show unless complimentary tickets fly thick and fast. Huge Daily Overhead. The managements for years have fought the argument that they take too much money out of town. People overlook the fact that every big circus spends a large sum in every city in which it plays. The daily overhead of the largest circus is in excess of $15,000, and a considerable share of it is spent locally for lot and license, straw, lumber, ice cream, soft drinks, billing locations, and food for 600 horses, 38 elephants, four herds of camels, hippopotamuses, and other large appetites in the menagerie, as well as for the three meals a day of the show personnel, whose gastronomic requirements would stagger the chefs of a huge hotel. The commissary uses daily 250 pounds of butter, 200 pounds of coffee, 25 bags of table salt, almost a ton of fresh meat, 200 gallons of milk, 1,500 loaves of bread, 200 dozen eggs, half a ton of vegetables, a barrel of sugar, 50 pounds of lard, etc. In the old days, before movement by railroad was general, travelling was much worse. Springtime found country roads impassable. Fourteen horses were needed to pull a hippopotamus den when circuses traveled overland in wagons. Circus laborers still shout "China!" occasionally when the train roars into the city of exhibition. This is a circus term of another generation. When a driver, seated atop the first wagon in the caravan, sighted the show's destination, he called "China" to indicate that after an all-night struggle they literally had dug their way through. Rivalry Used to Be Fierce. Previous to 1929 most of the big circus units battled with one another up and down the country from Maine to California and from Canada to the Gulf. Sometimes they employed the most vitriolic phrases in characterizing rival circuses as worthless. When electricity first was used to illuminate a circus tent, competitors solemnly warned the public to stay away from that show "because electric lights are known to be extremely dangerous and blinding to the eyes." Most interesting were the "paper wars" conducted by the big and little shows prior to the late summer of 1929. The big circuses often bought advertising space on barns and buildings in the dead of winter, so that the location would not be snapped up by rival concerns. Some of the shows had a playful little habit of covering each other's posters when two shows saw fit to play the same city on the same day or a few days apart. One of these paper wars became so intense when two circuses chose to book a California city within a few days of each other that the barns and billboards of the surrounding countryside were plastered with a covering of circus pictures 28 sheets deep. The opposition brigade of circus number one went out each morning to cover the advertisements of the rival show. The brigade of circus number two went out every evening to recover with its own billing. They watched each other so closely, that these tireless advance men, that each knew when the other's crew left town to cover paper in the country. At last one of them played a master stroke. Two nights before the first show was due to arrive, the brigade hired a hearse, climbed inside with posters, paste, and brushes, and quietly left town to do their work without attracting the attention of their competitors. The advance advertising cars of the big shows carry large crews of ambitious workers who often average a posting of 10,000 to 12,000 sheets of circus lithographs a day. A crew of 30 men can bill a large city in a single day, so well do they understand their work. White Elephant Competition. Sometimes the tented enterprises tried to duplicate their rival's ace attractions. Barnum once imported a sacred white elephant from Siam. It wasn't pure white, but rather a cream color, and it cost a lot of money and trouble. Adam Forpearch, then Barnum's leading competitor, copied the Siamese albino by applying a generous coating of white paint to unclothed parts of a gray pachyderm. His elephant was so much whiter than Barnum's that the public decided Forpearch had the real article—until one day during a street parade in Philadelphia, when a cloudburst exposed the imposture. Even then sceptical show-goers refused to believe that Barnum's white elephant was any more genuine than the one they had seen exposed. Somebody asked Barnum what he was billing as his chief attraction that season. He smiled and replied, "I've got a white elephant." Then and there he supplied a distinctly American angle to the age-old white-elephant allusion that to this day is used to describe something expensive which cannot be disposed of to any advantage. The big shows fought each other until the summer of 1929, when a great consolidation was effected. Now six of the largest tent shows, all Ringling-owned, contend for patronage in friendly rivalry and try to keep out of one another's way. Most outsiders think that every circus picks its complete route at the beginning of each season. In reality, they are routed only about six weeks in advance. Agents must study crop and factory conditions, epidemics of disease, and proximity of rival attractions, and must arrange to send the circus where there is a probability of doing good business. Barometer of Prosperity. Business men in progressive cities usually are glad to see a circus billed for a visit to their community. It is a barometer of prosperity, this nominal canvas city with its tremendous overhead, because it cannot afford to visit cities which are in the throes of financial depression. The history of the circus is the history of a battle to beat the Emersonian doctrine of compensation, the theory that, in the long run, good and bad fortune stack up about evenly. Because the enterprise is a game of sudden disaster and decided ups and downs, circuses sometimes have proved excellent places to put money—and wave it good-by. A few large fortunes have been amassed by circus owners; dozens have been lost through incompetent management, competition, and conditions outside the control of the owners. It is commonly thought that hot, sunny weather is the answer to a circus manager's prayer, but such is not always the case. Either extreme means bad business in most instances. When a circus visited Peoria in 1930, the mercury simmered at 108 degrees and business was light. By contrast, another circus unloaded in Chicago during a snowstorm in the spring of the same year for its indoor engagement at the Coliseum. People decided that it just was not circus weather and stayed away. On the other hand, a circus exhibited in Brooklyn during a cold spell in May, 1931, and the crowds came despite the weather THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPT. 28. 1935 As to College Wardrobe, Here's What THE NEW YORK TIMES A LOGICAL way to assemble the all important "back-to-school" wardrobe is to divide it into two types—the "musts" which are absolutely necessary, and the "would like to have" which make clothes a thrill and a venture. In the "musts" smart shirtwaist frocks in the new silk weaves should alternate with sweater and skirt outfits. We speak particularly of "new silk weaves" because that's what they really are—"new." Hand-some, practical, dependable-wearing silks which have the "look" of wool, are the last word in smart fabrics. Don't overlook, especially, the new spun silks which have a rustic-looking rough-surfaced texture. These noil silks, as they are sometimes called, are practically crushless, and though they look like wool they are much cooler for early fall days and steam-heated class rooms. They launder nicely, too. The girl seated in the little inset picture is off to class in a strictly tailored frock of plaid noil silk which, to look at, you would think was wool. The dress buttons down the back and has cuffs and Peter Pan collar of plique. The shirtwalt dress is full of bright ideas this fall. Round yokes, jeweled or fancy metal buttons, fur Peter Pan collars glorify the new silk models. Skirts have silk piets; box pleats placed just above the knee all around are new and girlish looking. The two-piece type of dress vies with one-piece styles. Perfect for campus wear is a two-piece frock as pictured to the left in the illustration. It is made of one of the chle the-silks which are having such a pronounced vogue. This one is wine color with green dots. The blouse has flap pockets and the skirt buttons all the way down the front. Prom-trotting daughters can really let themselves "go" on the subject of clothes. They can be glamorous and exciting and sophisticated and gloriously young, too, in satin, silk velvet or one of the new metal silks. This year's evening frocks go in for molded bodices and waistlines, wide belts or sashes and fullness spreading EVENING ENSEMBLE By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE FASHION WEEKLY Velvet for evening, velvet for daytime, velvet, velvet, velvet! All signs point to a velvet season. The evening ensemble pictured is of deep red stiff velvet—a Chanel model, Luxurious marten collar and cuffs add to the glory of this superb creation. Note the button fastening of the gown. Many of the Paris dresses show a down-the-front button closing. Often on sheer or lightweight materials dozens upon dozens of tiny buttons are placed as close as possible and the effect is utterly feminine and charming. gently from the waist. Bodices are tricky. Sometimes they are merely a straight band of the fabric held up by camisole or "sockstring" straps. Again they are built up to cover the front of the throat in elaborately twisted, draped and winged treatments, with low-back decolletage. Girls adore black. Let your daughter wear black in gleaming slipper satin or black velvet and then tell her to have her bean send her flowers for her hair instead of her corsage if she wants to be swish. Daughter will be very grand in a black slipper prom frock as pictured. It has the high-in-front winglike effect above mentioned, contrasting the low-cut decolletage at the back. The shiny belt is allover-stitched, which is the latest wrinkle for belts. If your young hopeful is going to a co-ed college, she will want a few soft dressmaker-type afternoon dresses. For tea dancing nothing could be more ideal than a black silk-satin ensemble. Don't merely ask the salesman for "satin." For satisfaction in wear and appearance specify silk satin and insist upon it. The dress should have a cowl neck—that means glittering clips to daughter. The jacket should be cut on the classic lines of her sports jacket, with patch pockets and notched lapels. The skirt should come just below the break of the calf. Worn with one of the new baby bonnets of black silk velvet with ostrich plume tips, daughter will be devastating to her "date." © Western Newspaper Union. FASHION SIGNALS GREEN FOR AUTUMN Yellow, the sun's own color, is usually a summer favorite. This year has been no exception; yellow with brown, yellow with black and yellow with green is yellow still. This brings to mind that green is being wagered on as the follow-up color. When utterly satiated with the idea of current fashion's it's a relief to be able to peer into the future. On a recent peek behind the scenes the discovery was made that green looked good to many manufacturers whose fall lines are in preparation. And why not? It's one of the Renaissance colors and a change from the inevitable browns, reds and rust. Each autumn brings a change also from the blues in which we have been steeped all summer. There are a number of likely looking green woolen dresses ready to make their shop window debuts. Some of them are sure to win applause. It won't be long now before shopping throngs will flatten their noses against the plate glass front which shields the cloth-clad mannequin from the street. Green, White Jade Having Tremendous Vogue in Paris Green and white jade is having a tremendous vogue of popularity in Paris now. One-third of every jewelry shop window is devoted to fascinating carved necklaces, pins, clips and earrings, while fat rounded bracelets of uncarved jade are matched by round jade rings.
