New York City—Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion, at a benefit for the united Jewish appeal, Oct. 2, "35, said Max Bae lost the fight to Joe Louis because "the broke his hand." "The referee stepped on it," he added. Isn't that rich It wasn't the referee but Joe who "stepped on" Max, and not on his hand, either. Wasn't it jack Dempsey that the American Legion tagged a "slacker" for several years immediately following the World War? Don't all answer at once. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Jack Blackburn, years ago a boxer de luxe in his chest, and Joe Louis, trainer, is entitled to more credit than he is receiving for Joe's outstanding accomplishments, to date. At last, at last, AT LAST! Former State Senator George H. Bender has had his "jack caught". For years he has been "blow-bagging" and getting away with it. This time his quondam "buddies", The Blossom Triplets), (Payne, George and Bundy), Hubbard and Finkle, "turned him up" and HOW! Underneath it all, it seems, is Mayor Harry L. Davis, sore to the very marrow of the bone over his just and righteous defeat at the recent primaries. While President Roosevelt proclaims the neutrality of this country, New York bankers are busy floating Italian bonds to help Premier Benito Mussolini to raise greatly needed funds to carry on his war against Ethiopia. O, consistency, thou art a jewel unknown to this country and the leading nations of Europe which have held Ethiopia as a pawn in European diplomacy, for years, accuse Mr. Mussolini of being a state, who for two years headed the educational department of that country at the request of Emperor Haile Selassie. The following is from the statement issued, Monday morning, by City Finance Director West to the citizens of Cleveland, and is something every one of them should read and remember: reports of the State Bureau of Inspections which has just been published makes possible this comparison between Cleveland and Cincinnati for the year 1934. Cleveland's expenses in 1934 for operations, maintenance and interest were $27.56 for each inhabitant; Cincinnati's similar expenses were $34.46. Cleveland's debt was $6.12 per inhabitant; Cincinnati paid $9.27. Cleveland's total bill for salaries and wages was $14.35; Cincinnati's cost was $17.20 per capita. Cleveland's total net debt amounts to $123.24 per inhabitant; Cincinnati's $133. Cleveland's total revenue receipts in 1934 were $123.24 per inhabitant; Cincinnati's to $46.34. Cincinnati boosters make their city look better than the figures; Cleveland detractors make their city look worse. THE DRIVE ON JEWS GAINS Impetus in the Third Reich of "Hil- erville" for Resuscitation Relentless. Berlin, Germany. — A relentless weeding-out of Jews from public and business life gave impetus, last week, to the anti-Semitic drive in the third reich. All Jewish notaries who had been permitted to continue their business on the ground that they were old trench soldiers, it was noteworthy that the deprived of their offices by a circular order. Reichsführer Hitler's newspaper, the Voelkischer Beobachter, announced that the Koesener Student league—Germany's greatest student organization, which had defied government demands that it cleanse its ranks of non-Aryans—had "dissolved itself." "Schwartzkorps," the organ of the Schutz Staffel, black-shirted, picked Nazi guards, charged Jews with responsibility for the Brandenburg gate subway cave-in, which cost the lives of 19 workers. R. H. W. Evans, pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, attended the recent sessions of the Inter-Racial Commission of his Church in Atlanta, last week. ITALIAN SOLDIERS By the Thousands, Sick and Dying, Being taken Back to Italy—Mussolini Will Lose, History Says. Paris, France—Thousands of sick Italian soldiers, victims of fever and dysentery, are being returned to Italy from the East African war zone. French counterts said, this week Wednesday. French agents have reported the Emperor Haile Sclassie. passage through the Suez Canal of 10,000 stricken troops. Unconfirmed reports were prevalent in Paris that Italy has lost 12,000 men—in battle and from sickness—and that almost every Italian soldier was wounded than the canal carries several hundred hospitalized soldiers. What History Says. Dallas, Tex.—Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia might find comfort in reading the following: If history repeats itself again, says Dr. H. A. Trexlar, professor of history at Southern Methodist University, will win in its present struggle with Italy. "In every modern war between two countries," said the professor, "the nation given first place in the naming of the conflict has lost. There is no exception." The trouble in Africa has been designated as "Italo-Ethiopian", Dr. Trexlar pointed out, and then gave the results of two-country wars since 1866. AUSTRIA lost the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. FRANCE lost in the Franco-Prussian conflict of 1870-71. CHINA lost in the Sino-Japanese trouble in 1894-95 when Shanghai was taken by the Japanese and again last year when Japan took possession of the city. SPAIN was defeated in the Spanish-American War in 1898-99. RUSSIA accepted the demands of Japan following the Russo-Japanese War 1939-45. TURKEY was defeated in the Turkish-Italian conflict of 1911-12. Ethiopia Holding Lines. With the Ethiopian Forces, Harar. —The Ethiopian lines are holding their ground on both the northern and southern fronts after the most recent fighting, and were heavy on both sides, an official Ethiopian communique said, Monday. The engagements included hand-to-hand combat in which the Ethiopians, using spears, swords, knives and pistols, decimated the Italian lines, the communique claimed, and offered numerous casualties and failed to gain ground", the communique said, "although they used airplanes tanks, artillery and machine guns in attacks on the Ethiopian positions in the vicinity of Aduwa. Near Adigrat they used mortar guns, repulsed the Italian onslaught after the invaders attempted to surround the Ethiopian forces". "THE OLD RELIABLE" Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland O.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS REVOLT NST BURTON CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR AT THE MEMBER ELECTION e, Hubbard, Bundy, Finkle and Flirting With the Democratic Candidate—Poor Losers. AGAINST BURTON REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR AT THE NOVEMBER ELECTION Councilmen Payne, Hubbard, Bundy, Finkle and DeMaioribus Flirting With the Democratic Candidate—Poor Losers. An amusing situation developed, Tuesday, in the matter of whether the socalled colored wards support Harold H. Burton for mayor, or Ray T. Miller. George H. Bender, president of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican Clubs, declared in the morning that he had authority to announce on behalf of five councilmen in the third fourth districts that the wards "cast their alloy on" Immediately they all of whom united in a pact to withhold action until they had assurances from Burton that he will recognize them as political cars of their wards, rushed to deny Bender's statement and to disclaim any connection with him either as a spokesman or mediator in their political behalf. No Deal Made. Meanwhile, Burton, who is resting in preparation for the next campaign, and his chief supporter, Daniel E. Morgan, expressed surprise at Bender's announcement, but hastened to say no deal had been made with De Majoribus, Hubbard, Bundy, Finkle and Payne. The 27,000 votes Mayor Davis (defeated last week Tuesday), received in these wards (19, 18, 17, 12 and 1) have become a major issue of politics menacing, with the councilmen named threatening to throw their support to Miller, Democratic candidate for mayor, unless they are recognized, as they demand, by Burton and his associates, as the dictators in their wards. Bender, unauthorized by Burton headquarters, last week forsook his neutral position of the primary campaign, and stoked up by those councilmen for the successful nominee. He announced achievement of that, Tuesday, but it seems was only "talking thru his hat" (as usual). "Nobody's speaking for me," said Finkle, of the Twelfth Ward. "I'll make my own statements. I don't need any messenger boy. I'll announce my position when I call a meeting of my own organization soon." "George Bender isn't authorized to say anything for me," said Bundy, of Ward 17, who reputedly is talking of swinging his votes to Milton. "I will ask any authority to speak until my organization acts. I have called a meeting for tomorrow (Wednesday) night, and I'll have something to say after the organization acts." "I have not authorized any statement," said Payne of the Eleventh Ward. "I have taken no position. In due course of time, I will have a statement. When that time comes, I'll speak for myself." "I'll swing only on condition that I have full and complete recognition," said John E. Hubbard, Eighteenth Ward. I "feel that I am comfortable in the hand柄 the patron and when that comes, I'll co-operate 100 per cent. If I don't get it, I don't know yet what I'll do. I'm not saying. But I am running for Council." "He isn't speaking for me," said Court President, De Majoribus, nineteenth Ward. "I haven't seen George Render in months. I haven't --- PETER H. BURKE George No Deal Made Reveal Their Stand. Asks Recognition. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- son with any will immediately published in the NEWSIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. any dealings with him and I don't want any." Informed that the councilmen had denied his statement, Bender replied: "I stand by my original statement, I was authorized to say that." Gives His Version. Finkle later declared he had talked with Bender and that the latter claimed he only said "I have every reason to believe the Councilmen named will go for Burton", when he really had no such "reason", at all. "Whatever he said, he wasn't speaking for me", said Finkle. Former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan expressed surprise at Bender's statement and said: PETER B. Hubbard "We want, of course, as many votes as we can get for Burton, but they must be obtained fairly and decently. I am certain no promise, pledge, commitment or deal of any kind has been made for votes for Burton." Burton later said Morgan's statement stated his own position. So that's THAT! Last week Friday night at Temple Baptist Church, E. 84th and Cedar Ave., between 200 and 300 city job-holders heard Dunbury assert: "It looks as if we'd have to support Miller for Mayor". Threatens Loss of Jobs. They were urged to stand by their Council, and advised in November. They were told by various speakers that they should not be too eager in declaring themselves for Burton, and that any who did would lose their city jobs, James Dixon, 2222 E. 69th St., an employee in the rubbish department, rose to oppose the pleas of Bundy. He never go for Miller, and the people out here never will", he declared. He left the meeting then, and the next day he was laid off by his city foreman. Among those who also spoke were Clayborne George, a Davis appointee to the Civil Service Commission; Councilman Hubbard McCormick; Director of Law White; Similar meetings have been held in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards, and a council of war of the councilmen was held, Saturday night, in the office of Councilman De Moioribus at the Cleveland Home Brewing Co. Before they went into his office they chatted for a time in the office with Police Detective Hazan Haazan "official" chief of police during the regime of Mayor Ray T. Miller. While "The Blossom Triplets", Hubbard, Finkle and De Moioribus send out their threats of a switch to the Democratic nominee, Burton and his backers remain unmoved. The threats, of course, imply that a deal can be made with these backers, and that line with his primary campaign policy, has refused to make deals with anybody. Beauty Hints, by Nina Temple.

An exchange heads an article from "Lincoln Bridge, Ky." with "Race Man heads Lincoln Institute For The First Time". Wonder if he is a horse-race man or a dog-race man Arthur Brisbane, the great New York editor and columnist, can never be accused of being friendly toward our people as his Joe Louis, Ethiopian and many other references prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. Paul Robertson, the great bass singer, is being panned by Africa as the result of his role, "Bosambo", in the English moving-picture, "Saunders of The River". Robertson does some wonderful singing in the play which is just as harmful to our people, the world over, as is his and Gilpin's "Emperor Jones" and all other plays of that type including "Imitation of Life". HOW'S BUSINESS? If it were not for the everlasting "but" that must qualify any enthusiasm about business revival, it could be said quite definitely that the coming fall months would witness an encouraging pick-up in business activity. But—Punitive legislation makes it difficult for business men to issue securities, however sound. Apprehensiveness about the constitutionality of the majority of the far-reaching laws enacted by Congress continues to make business move forward in low gear, cautiously. Taxation for social reform threatens to retard business at the very moment when it needs encouragement. Finally, the indifference with which the government regards its unbalanced budget, finds no sympathy among business men. In spite of those handicaps, however, it has been apparent for some months that business has been shaking off its sluggishness. Chief among the reasons for its revival is the simple one that everyone is replacing worn out equipment—worn out shoes, battered hats, clothes, old model stoves, tread-worn tires, and, most important, obselete machinery in factories and mills. No previous upswing has been so reassuringly steady nor extended so widely into durable goods industries. Orders for machine tools indicate that machinery is again turning its wheels. Steel operations show gains to 48 per cent of capacity. Merchandise trade is expected to show a 10 per cent increase over last year. Textiles are strong, except cotton—still bogged down with restrictive legislation. In short, recovery has been battling to get in and business awaits the starting gun. Much depends on to what extent men can rely on the Administration promise of a "breathing spell". FORCING US INTO INFLATION In a recent article, Paul Mallon, the well known Washington correspondent, wrote: "The truth is the treasury does not know what its receipts and expenditures will be next month. It cannot have even a faintly worthwhile opinion beyond next year." This is in line with the theory that many thinking Americans have been holding for some time—that federal finance is in a hopelessly chaotic condition. Forecasts as to the future revenue have no sound basis—they usually represent optimism, rather than realism. The government continues to spend us farther into debt—and apparently hasn't the slightest idea of where the money is to come from to meet the obligations. One inevitable result of such a policy is constantly mounting taxes—along with new taxes. Another, and perhaps more menacing possibility, is inflation. All the tax laws in the world cannot produce revenue when personal pocketbooks and industrial bank balances run dry. When that happens, inflation—which can be defined as cheapening and degrading the currency—becomes the "easy" way out. The perils of inflation need no description—the tragic examples of Germany and other countries which experienced inflationary periods are well known. If we are to avoid such social and economic tragedies at home, government finance must undergo a thorough overhauling, both in principle and practice. WHO OWES YOU A LIVING? Millions of people are being educated in our country today to believe that someone owes them a living. The laws of nature do not seem to recognize this doctrine. Just go out into primitive country and see who owes who a living—you will soon find that your existence depends on your ingenuity and initiative. Governments were organized to go nature one better and make it a little easier to live and to take care of the helpless whom nature would otherwise unceremoniously remove. But today millions of perfectly healthy, able-bodied people are being taught to loaf at the expense of the savings of others, instead of to rustle for themselves. Such a system can endure only so long as there are stored up savings to confiscate, then the inexorable laws of nature will prevail. An epidemic of pests completely devours a tree or a field of grain, and then the pests die. Nature does not owe them a living. The same thing can happen to governments and to the human beings who make the governments—if they eat up their capital to maintain idleness, they will eventually find that nature refuses to hear their demands that "someone owes them a living". This may not be a pleasant-sounding philosophy, but it is a FACT which honey-coated, political cure-alls try to hide. THE WAR IN ETHIOPIA The opening Italian attack in Ethiopia was planned to take place before Emperor Haile Selassie completed the mobilization of his armies. Furthermore, no concerted effort was made to save Aduwa. These facts are now clear. Also, it seems to grow clearer each day that the League of Nation's "sanctions", to be voted this week, will not suffice—materially hinder the Mussolini-Italian conquest now on in Ethiopia. Far more severe sanctions will have to be adopted by the League of Nations to be effective. Will they be voted by the League? More than the independence and life of a sovereign African people is at stake. By his rashness Mussolini has brought the war danger closer to Europe. From numerous quarters, if he continues his military operations south of Suez, war can come to Europe. Statesmen fear that. In addition the order of the British Empire is periled by this attack on a native people. There is reason to fear that Japan will be dragged into the scene by attempting to trade with Italy and its colonies if the blockade of the peninsula is undertaken. Britain dreads a clash with the orientals at this time, the Japanese state of mind and navy being what they are. ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1935.

Missed By Millions For Lack of The Radio 1 SCENES reminiscent of the 1913 flood were common in eastern Ohio recently when torrential mid-summer rains swelled rivers and their tributaries to the highest levels since the disastrous high waters of 22 years ago. In their wake the flood waters left damage estimated at $6,000,000 in the territory through which the Muskingum, Tuscarawas, and Licking rivers and their tributary streams flow. Heaviest losses were suffered in Massillon, Millersburg, Zanesville, Coxhoeet, Newcomerstown, and surrounding rural sections. Crops were ruined, homes and business establishments flooded, and highways washed out. Communications lines were seriously affected.

Then only the few hundred spectators actually present on the side lines could enjoy the thrill. No radios broadcast the game in millions of homes throughout the land. No trained sports commentator.

Telephone service between Newcomerstown and outside points was completely cut off for several days while the flood waters were at their peak. Local service in other communities was hampered, but nowhere was there complete stoppage of local traffic. While the flood waters were still at dangerous levels telephone linemen, some in bathing suits, worked night and day to restore service. At some points it was impossible to repair damaged lines until the water receded sufficiently to permit the linemen to locate the trouble. Elsewhere the trouble was cleared almost immediately. The flood produced several freaks Millions For Lack o could describe to listeners, the field the rules of the game, the personalities of the players, the actual tense, thrilling moments of the contest. In homes, in country stores, in city apartments and of fices, in cars on the highways, no army of men and women, ooys and girls, could follow the play, run by run, in running by inning. There were no Philco radios then with high fidelity reception to enable thousands of fans who had played "rounders," "four-old-cat" and "town ball" for years to listen in on every hard fought moment as their game advenued into the field of organized sport.

UGH --- 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 unanimously and it has constitutionality of the law but is not 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 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 uniawful 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.) mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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 6231. A person asaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow surviving 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 he or she v. 1823. 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 counsellors fee 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 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 the court as a victim (93 v. 162 9). Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to com I HEAR YOUR MOTHER IN-LAW IS STAYING WITH YOU NEH, SHE'S USIN' OUR HOUSE FOR HER TRAININ' QUARTERS AND ME FOR A S PARRIN' PARTNER American News Features, Inc. mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Seed 1894-1895, "The governor's proprietor or his house keeper, manager 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 nor more than five hundred dollars, imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person 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, and we must do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society. Washington D.C. WWI Service Lake Chud. Others say that the fir Washington, D. C.-WNU Service C HICAGO is only a little more than 500 miles from Kansas City-"a good day's run" to many American motorists and offering little change in scenery or people all the way. But the same number of miles from Kano, British Nigeria, in north central Africa, to N'Gugml, near Lake Chad, is a journey many days long and a constantly changing pageant of little known tribes and strange country. There's a thin, white little road stretching 200 miles north from Kano across the hard sands to Zinder, first post in French territory. From Zinder caravan trails fan out into all parts of the Sudan, one leading straight east to N'Gugml, at the northwest corner of Lake Chad, 22 days by camel from Zinder, and thence north and east of the lake to Mao, Abebe (Abeshr), and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The eastward trail leads into the country of the Tuareg, noted for the vells worn by the men over the lower parts of their faces. The Tuareg, reputedly one of the most warlike of African tribes, are thought to be descendants of Berbers who were driven southward into the desert when the Arabs swept across North Africa in the Eleventh century, though some authorities date their emergence as a distinct people a good deal farther back than that. Among the Tuareg. After the French announced in 1800 that they owned that part of Africa, they sent expeditions galloping out from time to time to explain things to the Tuareg, and the Tuareg promptly sent them galloping back with a lance point at the seat of each man's breeches. In course of time the French tired of this form of playfulness and sent out big enough expeditions to put a stop to it. There are five main tribes, or confederations, of the Tuareg, and they occupy in a sketty manner, with their camps and flocks, about 1,500,000 square miles in the western Sahara, centering northwest of Timbuktu. But they are great nomads, and small bands sometimes wander as far to the east as the Wadal (French Ouadal) region of French Equatorial Africa. In the Tuareg country stands Goure, typical of those French posts scattered across the southern fringe of the Sahara—a square-cut crown of grim clay battlements, often several acres in extent, rising out of a mountain of gray sand; always a native village at the bottom, and a big natural basin, with several wells, the village cotton and millet patches, spreading palms and pawpaw trees, and the fort garden. The garden is always the showplace of the post—on the rare occasions when there is someone to show it to—and no wonder, in a land where the vegetation is limited almost exclusively to thorn trees except in the basins. Here, in these grim clay outposts of the white man's authority in the Sudan, may be found one Frenchman, or perhaps two or three, in command of a corps of native soldiers. The isolation is almost complete, except for the passing at rare intervals of other Frenchmen on their way to or from more distant forts. The term of service is three years; then a year to recover one's reason in France. But with antelope and guinea fowl dotting the hills, and a dozen native prisoners to tend and irrigate his garden, the French officer in the Sudan at least doesn't have to go hungry. Cuvettes of Lake Chad Region. Goure is inhabited mostly by the Manga, who subsist largely on the red millet so characteristic of the Sudan, eating the grain in the form of coucous, or orridge, and building their circular huts of the stalks. The cuvette, in which are located the village and the fort garden, is otherwise occupied entirely by millet, tobacco, cotton, and vegetable plantations. These cuvettes are the most striking topographical features of the Lake Chad basin. They are deep depressions in the sand, ranging in length from a few hundred feet to three or four miles, and usually are oval or circular in shape. The floor, smooth and almost level, is frequently of that heavy, black soil peculiar to the Sudan and known to the natives as "grikk." It is excellent for cotton, millet and other crops, but cracks into sections with crevasses several inches across during the dry season and is very hard for animals (or motorcycles!) to travel over. Authorities differ as to the origin of the cuettes. Some ascribe them to subterranean infiltration from Among the Tuareg. Lake Chud. Others say that the firkil soil was originally the floor of an ancient, much-extended Lake Chud. Even though the surrounding dunes be perfectly bare, there are grass and trees in the cuvettes, the dum palm being a characteristic feature of the landscape. Water is usually only a few feet, sometimes only a few inches, below the floor, and one frequently finds a pool, or small lake, at the lowest point. Sometimes the water is fresh, sometimes impregnated with salt or sodium carbonate. The salt in this region is bitter and acrid, but the inhabitants like it. Plenty of Game and Cattle. Beyond Goure the route eastward veers south into the broad, flat valley of the Komaduga (a word meaning "river") Yobe, the largest western affluent of Lake Chad. The country is a paradise for game. Stately cranes and marabou storks stand in the shalows and scoop up fish with their bills. Flocks of blue herons flap out of the trees and sail away toward the sunset, and attending these feathered royalties are the smaller varieties in squads and battallons. In this country are villages of the Kanuri, who are cattle-raisers. The main body of the Kanuri inhabit Bornu province, southwest of Lake Chad and the Komaduqa Yobe. They are desert people who came south long ago and mixed with the negro tribes of Bornu, and the name "Beriberi" (Berber?), given them by their neighbors, the Hausa, possibly indicates that they were once much lighter-skinned than at present. During part of the Sixteenth century their empire was known as one of the most powerful in central Africa, but their political power and talent have waned. Beyond, at N'Gulgi m1 fort crowns a high sand dune, and at the base is a Kanembu village of tall reed huts shaped like inverted ice-cream cones, each compound surrounded by a fence, also of reeds. From N'Gulgi m1 there is a well-traveled caravan route north to the cases of Agadem, Bilma, and Kaouar, and the inhabitants of the town make a living by trade, cotton and millet culture, and the working of salt and natron deposits. A few are cattle-raisers. The women wear big silver earrings and do their hair up with liquid butter, or ghee. Lake Chad Covered by Plants. Nearby is huge Lake Chad. It could almost be said of Lake Chad that it has no shore line. One can follow its edge many miles without a sight of open water. The whole lake may be only three inches deep for all that can be seen of it. In fact, it probably would be necessary to wade a good long distance in order to see anything different. For the first 10 or 15 miles there is nothing but a continuation of this vast wilderness of wild millet and water plants, growing six feet high in three to 20 inches of water. Then there is a mysterious labyrinth of swampy little islands and narrow, winding channels. Even open water isn't very deep—perhaps 15 feet in the deepest spots. Most of the islands in the lake are inhabited by a curious people called the Buduma. And they are just as isolated from the rest of the world as if they lived on another planet. They go paddling about that mysterious little universe astride their "water horses," catching fish, snaring waterfowl, and pirating their neighbors, and they have neither knowledge nor curiosity regarding what goes on outside their swamps and islands. The Buduma are thought by some to be a remnant of the ancient Kanembu, who took refuge in Lake Chad. They live in villages of carelessly constructed reed huts and have little culture worth mentioning. Their "water horse" is merely a log of the ambash (ambach) tree, which grows in profusion on the islands of Lake Chad and is almost as light as cork. Some of the islanders also lash bundles of reeds together to make canoes and barges of considerable floating capacity. Most of the Buduma profess Mohammedanism, but many communities are purely pagan. Some venerate the reed out of which they make canoes, wearing a small section of it around the neck as an amulet. There is a queer custom at one of the villages in the eastern archipelago. Every morning the inhabitants throw a catabash of millet into the water, invoking the good will of their "mother," the lake.

Knits for fall will be as colorful as the autumnal background in both town and country against which they are destined to be silhouetted so frequently and so fascinatingly. Checks, plains, stripes, pronounced patterns in bewildering variety are among the effects introduced to brighten your day and your wardrobe. Firm fabrics are the style order of the day. Cloths not given to sizing but offering instead long wear and long life in their original shape character modish, clinging fall knitwear. So closely knit are many of the new, abluring dresses that they can hardly be distinguished from woven cloth. Yet they unquestionably retain the softness and resistance to wrinkles peculiar to knitwear. Nor are they at all bulky, for even the three-piece suits may be worn comfortably under winter coats, thereby assuring protection against the key blisters later on and at the same time attracting utmost attention during the fall when you confidently face your public without a coat. The variety of fabrics, too, is wider than ever in knitwear fashion history. Rough, nubby yarns and hairy yarns are developed into lusty, friendly tweeds. Chenilles and bounces as well are heavily represented in sports attire. Soft zephyr closely knit, working into tailored ensembles, are one of the really important new style notes. Tailored Black Is Ideal Choice for Autumn Frock Choice for Autumn Prose There's nothing like black to give a fall fillup to your wardrobe. And when the black is made up into such youthful, trim and tricky styles as those blossoming just now, there's no doubt that it must be right. One style spotted for a sure winner is a tailored little two-piece frock in black jersey, with a belted, buttoned jacket edged in black grosgrain ribbon. The skirt achieves a slight flare from gores, and a crisp, white pique vest, with little-boy collar and black bow tie, adds the finishing touch. You may wear it with one of the new black velvet jockey caps, with shovel visor. VELVET FOR THE BRIDE By CHERIE NICOLAS 10 Velvet for the autumn bride, also for the gowns of her attendants, velvet is the word. Velvet offers unlimited possibilities in detectable color schemes. Imagine a bevy of pretty bridesmaids clad in velvets in the glamorous and romantic Italian renascence reds and greens, purplets and mosaic rust shades such as are creating a furore of excitement in the color realm. Of course if pastel tints is your choice, all well and good, says fashion, but for a color glory that tunes into autumn glow superly try the Italian warm tones. Arms full of autumn flowers—a theme for poet and painter. The bride pictured is clad in an ivory white velvet gown which is designed with classic simplicity. The long train extends from back fullness in the skirt. Her bouquet is of pale, almost white, orchids with lilies of the valley, with a full ruffle of tule framing it. Shorter Skirts The daytime silhouette is composed of short slim skirts with supple bodices, sometimes frankly bloused, while woolen frocks are often accompanied by waistlength bloused fur jackets. FLASHES FROM PARIS Neat town dresses are of black woolen or silk crepe. High, small toques flaunt ornamental veils. Gold braid and cord trims a in mode militaire. Charming pleated chiffon dresses and blouses bespeak high style. Borderings and bandings of fur or fabric reflect Russian influence. Haute couture favors long slender draped treatments for evening. Stitched padded effects form smart trimming. PARIS SHOWS NEW FASHIONS IN SILK Metallics and Brocades Promise Winter of Luxury. Cabled reports from Paris confirm the vogue for splendor in silks which was forecast in the midseason openings. Itch stilk silks, metallies and silk brocades, promise a winter of luxury and glamour. Soft drapy silks in novelty textures are also featured. The continued importance of silk sheers which scored a success in the earlier collections is another outstanding characteristic. The style position of stiff versus soft silks is defined by Lucien Leblon, who in a cabled interview, said: "Three months ago I was asked which would be preferred, stiff fabrics or soft? Both, I replied, 'for neither excludes the other. Soft silks make possible deep natural folds obtaining sculptural effects. Stilk silks, richly ornamented, so beautiful in themselves, are sufficient reason for a gown. It does not matter whether it is a winter or a summer fabric. What does matter is the harmonious alliance of the fabric to the form of the gown." Rich Fur Trims Mark New Black Wools for Autumn Some of the new black wools for fall are marked by such fur trims as a black Bretschwanz plastron or a shaved lamb cowl collar and belt, while others have bodices worked with shiny black sequins, darts or belts touched with pallelette design. A dark carnation red crepe frock is smartened by velvet plipings of the same color which encircle the round collar and band the wrists. A red velvet carnation closes the neckline. Wools, both knitted and woven, make the smartest country frocks which often appear in wood brown and sand beige tones. Some of the smartest are cut with divided skirts and topped by short jackets so that they are ready for golf links or fields. 10 The knitted twin set looms up more important than ever on the fall fashion horizon. Comprised of a long-sleeve cardigan worn over a slipover this combination has become indispensable in the wardrobe of the well turned out woman who is fully aware of its utilitarian aspects and its casual smartness. Fancy stitches individualize the more attractive sets for fall. A cable stitch is employed for the model shown. It's a topping good style worn with a skirt of checked woolen as pictured. In the other knitted outfit the effect of the vividly colorful striped and plaid jacket blouse in contrast to a deep-hue monotone skirt is heightened by the solid color belt which runs through a wooden buckle that corresponds to large wooden buttons. The popular Ascot muffler appears here, as it will with great frequency in fall and knitted wear. Stylist Discovers Trend to Sturdy Shoe Designs "One of the first things one notices about the new fall shoes is the very definite distinction between the tailored and the dressy models," comments a local footwear authority. "There's greater interest than ever in casual clothes and sturdy, heavy looking shoes for tailored and sportswear. Saddle stitchings, new welt treatments, substantial leather such as calf, reverse calf, alligator.
