BURGESS What proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful testimonial dinners ever given in this city was that of last week Friday evening in the private dining-room of the Phyllis Wheatley Association, honoring the work of the esteemed professor upon its fifty-third year of continuous publication, every week on time, Mr. Leland D. French, chairman; Rev. Horace C. Bailey, James A. Rogers and Capt. Chas E. Frye, all longtime residents of Cleveland, constituted the citizen's committee which not only evolved optionally successful social function, They were in full charge of the preparations for it, from the beginning to the end, and certainly are entitled to all the praise showed upon them, last Friday evening, and ever since. Opening the dinner at about 6:30 p. m., Mr. French, who inaugurated the movement which dominated in the testimonial dinner said: "May I take this opportunity to express to you the sincere congratulations of the committee of arrangements: Rev. Horace C. Bailey, Capt. Chas. E. Frye, Mr. Jas. A. Rogers and myself. We are all here to honor a distinguished citizen. I am going to present at this time Rev. Horace C. Bailey, the toastmaster for this occasion." Dr. Bailey said in part; "Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen: We are here to express our sincere appreciation of as well as our gratitude to a fellow citizen and co-laborer for his long and faithful work for humanity; for the civil and political rights of all men irrespective of race, creed or color, in the person of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the New York Times, who not enumerate all the good he has done and endeavored to do for our great city, state and mankind in Rev. Bailey. general, but only intimate it. In reading his paper, The Gazette, for thirty-five years, and associating with him thirty-two years here in Cleveland, I have observed his attitude toward his fellow-man, regardable to his own interests of sympathy and helpfulness. This testimonial dinner is given in order that his immediate friends and acquaintances may have an opportunity to express their opinion of his untiring endeavors to cheer and mankind in general and those of Cleveland in particular." Dr. Bailey then introduced Chairman of the following telegrams and letters: I join with all Cleveland in honor Hon. Harry C. Smith today. Cleveland, Nov. 15, '35. M. Leland D.

We please convey my best Judge Levine. wishes to Mr. Smith and to those attending this dinner. (Atty.) Alex Bernstein. Cleveland, Nov. 12, '35. M. Leland D. French, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. French:—I thank you very much for your letter of October 31st, inviting me to join in a dinner honoring Mr. Harry C. Smith and sincerely regret my inability to join you on that occasion in doing honor to one to whom so much honor is due. I have known Harry Smith nearly five years. In that time he has been a remarkable person. His devotion to his own people and his service to them has been of the very highest order. He has always had the highest of all the attributes of an American citizen—the ability to form opinions on public matters and the ability to stand by at any cost. That quality has almost disappeared in recent years, but there will always happen to be that Harry Smith happens to be and it will be a good thing for the town to have such a citizen. I hope you will convey to him and to his friends who join in honoring him and to me, my hope that he will live long to continue his valuable service. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6, '35. Leland D. French, Esq., Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. French: I greatly regret that circumstances beyond my control render impossible my attendance and participation in the glorious tribute to Hon, Harry C. Smith Cleveland's gallant old warrior, who has for so many years been on the front line of war, the brunt of its many viciousitudes for our people. May the sunlight of prosperity, ever illumine his pathway. Respectfully and with best wishes, Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12, '35. Mr. Leland D. French, 2118 East 46th Street, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. French:—Enclosed herewith is my greetings which I shall feel privileged to have extended to my old friend, Harry C. Smith, at his fifty-third anniversary celebration. My health prevents my personally attending but I think that you and the citizens of Cleveland are ex- hibiting a fine spirit to one who has served you so faithfully for these many years. Best luck, Sincerely, Robert S. Abbott. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12, '35. Mr. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette My dear Harry:—It shall always be one of the greatest regrets of my life that I was unable to be present with the group of distinguished citizens of your town who are meeting Friday night to pay you homage for the service you have rendered in the journalistic world of your country. My health forbids that to our country. Prevent my extending to you across the miles a hearty handclasp and sincere good wishes to add to the many other commendations that you are now receiving from citizens of your immediate environment. You have fought a good fight. You have given the faith. You have given your all to the progress of your race, and above all, you have blazoned a trail in the journalistic world which only those who toe the mark" can do without. No one can do more. And now, my sincerest wish is that you continue to grow more important — more interested and more conscious of the cause you serve as the years pass on. Wishing you much happiness on this, your night of nights, I am Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. '35. My name is J.

Mr. Smith has done much to further the cause of the race, and is to be commended for such a long period of enviable records. The success of the dinner, to the honored guest and guests assembled, to pay tribute to Hon. Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, O. Nov. 20, '35. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—I am taking this opportunity to congratulate you on the celebration accorded to you by your fellow townsmen. I am sure, from all the evidences of the high standard of the work that you are carrying on, that you are deserving of every bit of it. My kindest personal regards. Excerpts from Some of the Many Responses, W. H. H. "Mr. Toastmaster, Hon. Harry C. Smith and my friends gathered here on this occasion, it is a special privilege for me to come here not only to pay my personal tribute, which I would be glad to do at any event, but also to have the privilege of bringing the official greetings from the city of Cleveland, on this occasion honoring an institution. It certainly is fitting that the city pay tribute to that institution. More than that I believe that the Hon. Harry C. Smith has contributed to our community and has left with us a monument that will stay with us for years and years and YEARS! The Civil Right law, when he sponsored in the St. Assembly of Ohio, is a monument that I believe certainly interprets to us the character of the author. This is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever had and is the first occasion I have had to bring official greetings from the city of Cleveland. And to pay tribute to the author of this law. I wish for him continued success for many years to come". "Knowing The Gazette as well as I do, it is almost difficult to express myself in the few moments allotted to me. The outstanding achievement of our guest of honor is his fight for those who have no friends. Was it Wadsworth who said, 'he is brave who fears not to speak for the fallen and weak.' That is it. The Mayor spoke to the Riots he insisted he hisd, his asserted his best efforts to have it enacted into law, but so great was his power that white members of both bodies fought for it and none of the members of the lower branch voted against it. It has been my pleasure, time and again, to interpret that law. I am now addressing myself to the honored guest who serves the American people as well as the human race. I am not a victim of the race will so far advance that the lines of race and color, and even creed, will disappear. You are the messenger of peace. May God prolong your life so that your usefulness will become apparent and felt everywhere". "I am most happy to be here to pay a personal tribute to my good friend, Harry C. Smith. You know I was thinking as the other speakers were talking, about how true it is that Editor Smith is one of the last surviving representatives of the old school of American journalism. In the old days we had outstanding personalities. If you spoke of the New York Sun, immediately you that of Charles A. Dana. The name of SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Horace Greeley will live forever in American journalism, and his name will be tied with that of the newspaper he produced. Nowadays newspapers are corporations and not only corporations, but now they holding companies which remove one from further from the masses of the people. I don't know an editor who so well retains the American trait of journalism as the Hon. Harry C. Smith. His has been in truth and fact a strong voice". "I am very pleased to be here as a mark of tribute to the man and his career of whom I believe Cleveland far and near delights to honor. I have observed his career here fifty years. There has been much to do in the way of pioneering in that time. He is a pioneer newspaper- man. He is a pioneer in the realm of politics. He joins up the present day with that one in which the great Douglass and Langston lived and functioned. We haven't accomplished much in solving problems to which I has dedicated his life. I believe that he is the poorer because the solution of those problems will be deferred because we haven't produced enough men with the outlook of statesmen, with ideals of equality and justice which the "Old Reliable" Gazette and newspaper for. I hope the day will come when there will be a finer appreciation of what he has striven to do". "In looking over this table here I have been wondering just how many in this body knew Mr. Smith as early in life as I did. Since we ladies are not supposed to tell our ages I'll only say I came to Cleveland in 1886, and Mr. Smith then was ever a citizen. He impressed me with the fact that he was always interested in young people. I am very happy to be here this evening to pay tribute to Cleveland's honored citizen". "I was going to say how long I had known The Gazette, but when you look up here and see the young boy sitting there I guess I won't. I have known The Gazette for a good many years. The young people of this community and especially of this group will be a long time realizing what he went thru that they could have the privileges that they have at the present time. The fact that Harry Smith has stood and fought so hard is a reason that your group are getting the things they are enjoying at this time. The fact that you have a number of young people responsible positions, today is not like those those who are holding those positions, and to the fact that Harry Smith stood by and fought for them. He has been a blessing not only to your people but to the community". Judge Pearson. Atty. Alexander H. Martin. [Name] Atty. Alex. Martin. Mrs. Mary B.

[Name] Judge H. L. Eastman. "After all that has been said most anything that I might add is going to be a repetition. Some thirty years ago, when I first came to Cleveland I heard of Mr. Smith and his paper. I can't say that. I am as intimate but it wasn't long before I began to that he was a "rock of Gibraltar" in this community. Later on when I became acquainted with him, I was most sure of the fact. I think that you not only have a stalwart man of character in Mr. Smith, but you also have the kind of an editor and the same kind of a paper. I like his paper for one reason if not another. I think he runs an absolutely clean paper and that is something very dignified paper. I think there is much more to be said about his leadership and the character that he has put into his paper and thru his paper into his readers. There is perhaps today more competition in the newspaper field. There are different ideas of running newspapers. I think Mr. Smith has several good ones. I think that it would be too bad if anything should happen to Mr. Smith's newspaper. I feel that he deserves an appreciation that your people can give him. I think perhaps his paper ought to have more support than it has in this community. I want to wish you, Mr. Smith, very many more years of success, and I hope that you will continue along the lines that you are going". Former Senator John P. Green "I have been in Cleveland 78 years, and if I see another birthday I will be 91 years of age. I think that I am the oldest one who knows Mr. Smith. I knew him as a boy. I knew his mother well. I knew his sister, and I have known him in all the various stages of his JOHN P GREEN Moral Holmes life. Harry C. Smith in my judgment is one of the most celebrated men in the United States, white or black. When he speaks he has something to say. He went to the legislature three times and every time he went he was worthwhile. Mr. Smith is a statesman. He knows more about the State of Ohio than most people you have there. He introduced you and enacted of Ohio's Civil Rights law Ohio's Anti-Lynching law or Mob Violence act. I get papers from all over the country. Some of them have more in them, but he has the best judgment. He knows the rights and wrongs of our race. He is always struggling for our rights. He is a good clean man, a musician, a criminalist and a statesman. And he is always for us as he has been for over fifty years. I congratulate him. I praise our man that I know to be fit. And Mr. Smith is fit. Harry C. Smith is known over the United States. He is honest. He knows the good when he sees it, and he knows the evil when he sees it. He's got the ability. He's got the courage to strike and strikes hard.

We repeat, we never expected to live long enough to participate in anything of the kind which only goes to prove that, whether we think so or not, there is improvement upon the part of people generally. It really was an exceptionally fine demonstration. It surely does begin to took as if "the tide is turning". After "mopuping up" a train of 72 trucks, carrying Italian soldiers and munitions, and winning other "slashing victories" in southern Ethiopia, "while Emperor Haile Selassie personally urged on his defenders of his ancient empire", the emperor served notice on the League of Nations that Ethiopia will make no peace that would permit Italy "to reap the reward of its crime", adding "with the help of almighty God, the Ethiopian government and people will fight to the death, no matter what may be the cost and however long the war may last, to escape this savage domination" LIBERTY'S GUARANTEE The people of this country should each day offer thanks to the framers of our Constitution, the document which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This is the greatest protection a free people have against the crushing hand of officialism, bureaucracy, dictatorship and destruction of personal and property rights, and life itself, as we have seen occur in foreign lands not blessed with a constitution such as ours. As one man, our people should resent any program to tamper with or weaken the basic principles of the United States Constitution. 95 OUT OF 100 ARE DEPENDENT. If you were to ask the financial status of the next hundred men aged 65 or more, you meet, you would find, if they represent the average, that only five have independent incomes large enough to live on decently without working; that 28 continue to work for a living; that 67 are dependent for their livelihood DR. THWING ON GOOD EYESIGHT. THE Dr. Charles F. Thwing, president care he has given his eyes, and he emeritus of W. R.

He owes many rich years the good light of usefulness and happiness to the cheap; good eyesight is priceless. upon relatives, friends or public charity. Every one of these men started out in life with high hopes. Every one envisioned a self-sustaining, self-respecting old age, in which he could retire on the savings he had made during his productive years, and enjoy himself, without worry and without dependence on any person or institution. Five of the hundred men achieved that goal. Ninety-fiveailed to reach it. There are facts—implausent as they are, they will be faced by every person of foresight and courage who is not yet too old to make the most of the lesson they teach. There is no royal road to old age independence for most of us—it can be reached only by a plan which uses some of the dollars we earn with comparative ease now to care for our needs and ambitions when dollars come hard. "DEATH AFTER DARK." "Of 36,000 motor fatalities last year, 20,000 occurred at night," writes Governor Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, in an article in Library entitled "Death After Dark." "The total economic waste of night-time automobile accidents is estimated at nearly one and a half billion dollars. . . "Sixty-nine per cent of those killed are pedestrians. . . . "As a nation, we have failed to grasp the fact that as the sun goes down, so must our speed. We are simply driving too fast for our eyes". Night-driving, Gov. Hoffman points out, involves three definite factors, each of which contributes to the hazard: 1. Overdriving headlights; 2. Slow perception due to poor illumination; 3. The night pedestrian hazard. The first factor is probably the most important, inasmuch as it affects the other two. Gov. Hoffman says that the average man is fortunate if he can see 100 feet clearly with his headlamps. That is less than the distance required to stop from a speed of 35 miles per hour, on good pavement with first-class tires and brakes. If the night-driver is traveling 60, not an uncommon speed on our highways today, that 100 feet of visibility will have been passed by the time he is able to even substantially lower his speed. Thousands are driving 50 and 60 miles in hour in cars equipped with 30-mile headlights. One solution to that is better illumination for streets and highways — irrefutable figures, based on extensive tests, show that the saving in economic waste, to say nothing of the human waste, pays the cost of good lighting many times over. But it will be a long time before the average highway is lighted at all—and in the meantime, the only solution is to drive moderately if you wish to avoid "death after dark". ONE OF OUR PRIESTS Celebrates Mass at St. Benedict's in N. Y. City—To Locate in Trinidad. New York City.—The Rev. Francis Theldon Jones, recently ordained at Prague for the archdiocese of Trinidad, of which Archbishop Dowling is the episcopal head, was a guest, recently, of the Rev. Timothy J. Shanley, rector of the Church of St. Mary's on Sunday, June 9. Father Jones celebrated the 8 o'clock Mass at St. Benedict, and then distributed first Holy Communion to a class of twenty-eight children at the 9 o'clock Mass, which was celebrated by Father Shanley. At the 8 o'clock Mass Father Jones save Holy Communion to the members of both Masses, a large proportion of the other members of the congregation also received Communion from the hands of the recently ordained priest. Father Jones, who is no stranger to the people of St. Benedict the Moor parish, held a reception after the 9 o'clock Mass, after which all the children of the First Communion class and their relatives. During the years that Father Jones was studying in this country he spent his summers as sacristan at St. Benedict the Moor church and the people of the parish rejoiced in the great honor that has come to him in his ordination to the holy priesthood for his mission in the island of Trinidad in the British West Indies.

His wife's hardest fight to get his own freedom will be with him while fighting for their interests. I am happy to be here on this occasion honoring my long-time friend, Mr Smith, during his lifetime". Atty. Frank G. Jones "It was a great pleasure to me when I received an invitation to attend this dinner. It has been my privilege to have known the Hon. Harry C. Smith since I first came to Cleveland and I have valued his friendship most highly. I look back with gratitude for having had the opportunity of sitting at his feet on many, many occasions and to have heard from him the courageous expressions of the things for which he has stood. In addition to that, during the years followed the things Cleveland, I have followed the things that I have for thru that good paper of his, THE GAZETTE. It has been said that he who leads must know the way. And that certainly can be said of Harry C. Smith. He has had the courage to follow those convictions all those who have come in contact with him are better persons for having done so. May I wish him many more useful years. James A. Rogers. In presenting the scroll with proper introductory, containing the names of those in attendance upon the dinner, he said also, "I will give you here to extend my congratulations for your untiring efforts in behalf of our people. Mr. Smith has convictions and you can't turn him from them. But all of your efforts will continue to be crowned with success, Mr. Smith". Leland D. French. chairman of the committee of arrangements. "I do not know of anything that has given me more pleasure than arranging this affair. Some have said they have known Mr. Smith for many years. I was born and reared in Cleveland, and I have known Mr. Smith since my day of recollection, whatever day was. I am sure that he is only whose place in this community will be fully missed when he passes. Week in and out, I hear eulogies. How wonderful it would be if people could know what people really think about them. Give them flowers when they can see and smell them. That would be an incentive for them to do more for their people. Nearly every one of any consequence of my group knows of Mr. Smith. I hope he will be spared. He has not only made a record in this city, county and state the nation. May his every effort be combined with success. "Mr. Smith, the wood-work of this scroll was prepared by bows of Cleveland's Central High school — the school you attended." Mr. Toastmaster, Mr. Smith and friends: If the Hon. Harry C.

Therefore, it does not intend that such persons call all others column to forward their dishonest ends. The statement that "Ethiopia is NOT asking financial assistance" is correct, and unobjectionable to those persons interested in the cause of that country who are honest. CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their office or frequently early on Sunday or Monday of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their of this state but secure the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence act, or Anti-Lynching law, that would have been enough to endear him to all appreciative persons as long as memory lasts. I also congratulate him on The Gazette's entrance upon its fifty-third year of continuous publication, every week on time." Many other splendid responses were made in addition to those of Capt. Chas, E. Frye, Mrs. Banks Mrs. Marie T. Gates, Miss Jane Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Harold T. Gassaway, Mrs. Jas, A. Rogers, Messrs R. K. Moon, Emmett J. Meade, W. J Foster, J. H. Beckwith, Roy S.

Burton and the guest-of-honor, Mr. Smith, standing side by side, was a failure, it seems. In concluding the speech-making Mr. Smith thanked all for the splendid demonstration and the many and encouraging things said by him. He also said that he never expected to live long enough to participate in such a splendid demonstration and concluded his talk with a number of reminiscences which were very interesting and pleased greatly. AN HONOR DESERVED. The giving of a testimonial dinner on Friday night of this week in honor of the Honorable Harry C. Smith, veteran editor of the *Gazette*, by a committee of citizens headed by Le兰d D. French, is one of those little drops of kindness which makes one aware that the "old world is not such a bad place after all". For it is too affection that of our own bird, but a Negro editor as being particularly worthy of any public recognition for services rendered to the cause of racial progress and development. The career of Harry C. Smith is marked and significant in the field of Negro journalism. He is one of the signal posts along the road, pointing the way out of the wilderness. More than half-a-century ago, before the editor of The Eagle had seen the light of day, *The Gazette* had hoisted its banner—heid aloft in the hands of one of the "rugged men" of the Negro community. The banner is still afloat. And what sacrifice and resourcefulness and determination it has taken to do this, we of The Eagle very keenly understand! So, we are happy today to be privileged to send a word of greeting to our esteemed contemporary, and gladly join hands with Mr. French and his committee in doing our outstanding fellow citizen deserved honor. — Cleveland Eagle, Ormond A.

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 upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been overridden. 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. A "Mob" and "lynching" defined 6279.

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: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeps the source of an浸染装置 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 for not adhering to the code or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than 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 is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

THE CHICAGO "NEGRO." Prof. H. F. Gosnell of the University of Chicago Delves Deeply into His "Windy City" Politics. Chicago, Ill. — Friends of Prof. Harold F. Gosnell, Ph. D., of the University of Chicago, will be interested to know that his recent book entitled The Rise of Negro Politics in Chicago has received a favorable comment from critics and reviewers, and has just been chosen as the winner of the John Anisfield prize of $1,000 which is awarded to Prof. Gosnell for having written the best book of the year on race relations. This book is the outgrowth of an elaborate survey of which the professor was the director. The book begins with a brief history of the "Negro" in American politics, and describes every phase of political activity in Chicago from a chapter on the underworld in politics to an analysis of the political activities of the churches. "The Negroes of Chicago have achieved relatively more in politics than have those in other cities of the United States", says the author. "They have been more aggressive after the war, and they have 'brothers' in New York City, they have been more experienced than those in Detroit, they have been more adventuresome than those in Cincinnati, and they have been more united than those in Cleveland and St. Louis". "Gorrell's new and growing power in government, what have they done for the public in general and for their race in particular?", the author asks. Studying the Chicago "Black Belt" as a political battleground, Prof. Gosnell describes in realistic fashion how this minority group has become a political machine of increasing power.

I referred it to our Director McRae Parker. Also, referred the second group concerning the near riot. I thank you for your help in the discrimination. It happens that the place where these men are working is one of our vacant lots. The men working there are not hired by the Cleveland Board of Education. The government employees the men and pays them. Our Board requests that W.P.A. men be put to work for the leveling of our vacant lot. I think you will find that our Cleveland Board of Education does not entitle people who discriminate in their work for our board. Our staff too is not guilty of racial discrimination. Our board employs only an efficiency basis. If at any time you hear of anything of a nature distasteful to you and to me, I shall appreciate hearing from you.

Prepared by the National Society Society Washington, D. C. - WNU Service. (Loyola man means New Orleans. When exer the visitor goes in, Louisi- Never the visitor goes in Louisiana, he starts from and returns to the metropolis of the Delta state. He may find it necessary to travel over many states to match in some measure the varied features and resources of Louisiana; he will travel the length and breadth of the land and yet never encounter another New Orleans. To the business man, it is a great port, second in the United States in tonnage of foreign imports and exports; to students it is the seat of three splendid educational institutions, Tulane, Loyola and Newcomb; to the artist it furnishes a rich field for work. One can imagine that after the astute and adventurous French Canadian, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Blenville, had selected the site for the future city of New Orleans in 1718, he said to his engineer and city planer, Le Blond de la Tour, "Let's have a cup of coffee while we discuss the details of our new settlement." At any rate, few affairs of importance or otherwise have been discussed in New Orleans since that historic date except "over a cup of coffee." Here, as in the Near East, business seems to function more easily to the accompaniment of sips of the bitter, black, "French drip" than in any other way, and the most harassed executives will pause for ten minutes in mid-morning, leave their offices and go to the restaurant or the hotel in the same or the next block for a cupful of coffee—nothing more. After a few weeks in New Orleans the visitor is led to wonder how the great two-million-dollar coffee terminal is able to handle the imports of the brown berry for the state's own use, much less provide for the "every third cunful consumed by the nation." They All Drink Coffee. On the top floor of one of the most progressive banks in the state—and in countess other establishments, no doubt—there is a special kitchen and dining room to which the employees retire when the bank doors close to the public at three; after their cup of coffee they return to their desks. In one big manufacturing plant every workman brings him each morning a small coffee pot, which he deposits under his pet steam-leaking valve, so that, the condensing hot water drip-drip-drps constantly, he provides himself with small quaffs of the beverage throughout the day. But coffee is not New Orleans' sole contribution to gastronomic indulgence. In no other city in the country is a visitor within the gates invited to dine offener or more lavishly than here. The Creole tradition has handed down for 200 years the French respect for and art in the preparation of food. In the old French quarter, which looms so large in the life of New Orleans, but which in area occupies only a few blocks in this city spreading over nearly 200 square miles, there are half a dozen restaurants whose reputation is nation-wide. Their appointments are not lavish and they are modest in size, but when, for example, one of the Alciatories welcomes you to his establishment—there are two branches of this family of famous restaurateurs, each a bitter rival of the other—and you ask him to plan your dinner, you will feast upon dishes over which the original Luculus might have gloated. The visitor's first impression of his table is that it has a peculiarly 'bare' appearance. Then he realizes that salts and peppers and sauces are conspicuous for their absence. When you are served with, let us say, some of those marvelous baked oysters on shells imbedded in salt crystals to keep them hot, and garnished with a mysterious spinach concoction, you may be sure that they are seasoned exactly to the taste. Don't Insult the Chef. Of course, if you have a "boorish" taste and require more salt, or more tabasco, or more whatnot, you may have it for the asking, but it will not be flattering to your vanity to catch the fleeting glint of contempt in the eye of your servitor, and it is well that you do not hear the comments of M'sieur le Chef when he receives a report concerning your sacrilegious behavior. In its physical aspects and problems, New Orleans is unique among cities of the United States. It has been built in a vast crescent which the Mississippi describes here, 107 miles from the South Pass outlet into the Gulf. This crescent gives the city special advantages, in that it affords an almost unlimited river frontage for shipping; but it also handicaps the metropolis of the South in a way that only exceptional engineering genius has been able to overcome. Practically the entire city lies below the mean level of the Mississippi, and in times of occasional extreme high water the river surface is as much as 22 feet above some sections. Such conditions not only make necessary the maintenance of great levees to keep the river water out of the city, but entail tremendous problems in disposing of rain and seepage. Drainage Is a Problem. To meet these natural handicaps, a corps of engineers has designed a unique drainage pumping system. Experts come from all parts of the world to study its operation. So heavy is the burden which a long, hard rain imposes on the vast network of pipes upon which New Orleans sits, that the pumps must have a capacity of seven billion gallons a day to lift the flood waters out of the city into Bayon Blenvenue and Lake Pontchartrain. In comparison with the entirely separate water supply system, the drainage system could pump enough water in three days to supply the whole city for a year. The sewage of New Orleans, discharged into the Mississippi below the city, 20 feet below mean water level, requires still a third and independent system, whose modern development has come since 1907. And in the story of its installation lies one of those romances which one encounters on every hand in this city, to which a gifted local historian has so aptly applied the title, "Fabulous New Orleans." The sewage pumps originally designed for the system developed only 50 per cent efficiency, whereas contracts specified 60 per cent efficiency. The contracting manufacturers, in defense, declared that no pump could be built that would meet the requirements. Just when this impasse had been reached, a young engineer, recently graduated from Tulane university, appeared on the scene with a set of drawings and specifications for a revolutionary type of pump. He succeeded in convincing the authorities that it might do the work. And the pump did work. And the best part of the story is yet to come: The young engineer, offered many times his then modest salary to go with various manufactories and municipalities, preferred to remain and help to solve other engineering problems for New Orleans. He was given the opportunity to design the bigger problem and thus he has been provided with a great practical laboratory in which to develop his ideas. Difficulties for Builders. The geographical location of New Orleans presents difficulties to architects no less than to waterworks and sanitary engineers. The land upon which it rises is the soft alluvial soil brought down through the centuries by the river. There is no bedrock upon which to establish heavy structures, yet the city's skyline is serrated with lofty spires, domes, and airy rectangles. When a big building is projected in New Orleans, instead of steam shovels and blasting drills, a fleet of pile drivers goes into action. Huge cresosoted timbers are sunk side by side on the site. In the case of foundations for towering office buildings, hotels, auditoriums, and apartments, these piles are often 80 feet long. Each pile, after being driven down to the ground level, is countersunk to a depth of 10 or 20 feet. Then the top soil is scraped off and the substructure begun on its 58-foot-thick wood foundation. Few visitors who come under the spell of New Orleans are inclined to think of the city in terms of merchandise and manufacture. Here one finds so much that is matchless in its melowness that solid statistics are as a dull appendix to an absorbing volume of romance and adventure. The very stones of the pavements, many of them brought from abroad, have their fascinating story to tell. Upon the small plot of ground known originally as the Place d'Armes and now called Jackson Square have been enacted some of the most stirring events in American history. Here the French troops were accustomed to parade; here the sovereignty of Louisiana was transferred form France to Spain; here most of the important meetings affecting the lives of the Colonists were held; here took place the ghastly executions of Colonial times, as when revolting Swiss mercenaries were nailed in their coffins and then sawn in two! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23.1935. It's a Season of Glamor and Glitter THE FASHION OF THE TRENCH WEEK STYLE prophets predict a season of dazzling effects and sumptuous dress. According to the signs of the times women will sparkle from morning to night this fall and winter. Their silk velvets will be embroidered with strass. Their wool-like silks will be elaborated with gilt braid. Sleeve ends and collars worked in a solid mass of huge sequins will challenge the supremacy of fur on evening coats. Silk chiffons will be beaded and silk crepe pailletted for formal wear either in allover patterning or confirming their glitter to belts and angel sleeves or scarfs. Gorgeous silk lame lapels will adorn evening tallieurs with which matching lame turbans and blouses, bags and belts will be worn. Jewelled ornaments will hold the drapes of harem skirts and clasp shirred and bloused bodices. Seed pearls will make chokers (new high collar fashion) and form passmenterie embroidery—thus the story of glitter and glamor might run on ad infinitum. Fabrics weighted down with beading, embroideries, sequins and jeweled ornamentation must hold and not pull out of shape. Women want their cloak surfaced silks to stay in, their crinkles to remain crinkled. They want to be assured that their taffetas will stay crisp, their chiffons and crepes not to grow sleazy and sloppy and so they are coming to realize more and more that care and discrimination must be exercised in choosing quality-kind fabrics. Which explains the reason why the demand for silks that are pure silk (the inherent elasticity of silk is important) is more insistent this season than it has been in many a previous year. So HIGH HAT THE WORD IN FALL MILLINERY It's a high-hat season. One of the newest high hats in the fall parade is the domino crown turban, which has a rolled edge and a little square topknot that sticks straight up in the air exactly like an enlarged domino. It's shown in velours and suede, with a small fly-away bow in front, and is a pretty trick with some of the new fur coats. Another top-knot idea is developed in a bonnet cap of black felt, with a big fron-frou bunch of black satin ribbon rising impudently from the top front of the crown. Small scalloped loops of black satin edge the bonnet. The Tyrolean urge is still with us, in casual brimmed sports hats of velours or felt, with high, peaked crowns and perky quills. Wool Dress Can Be Worn **For Almost Any Occasion** Jean Paton has created one of those all-time dresses which can be worn for almost any occasion. This dress is in brown wool with the back of the bodice and the sleeves of the taffeta in brown, green and red plaid. The accompanying jacket of brown wool has wide reverses of brown caracul and turn-back cuffs of the same fur. The costume is completed by the Paton thimble hat in brown felt. The narrow brim turns way up in back and far down in front and a bright red quill is its only trimming. Goldfish Used as Button Tiny metal goldfish, with black tipped fins and tails in approved gold fish style are used to button a knee-length tunic of a tea gown. Narrow Braid Used Narrow embroidered braid is set to together with gold metal threads to form a colorful and unusual collar and cuff set worn on a black crepe frock. Composition Feathers Feathers of composition, in very vivid shades for velour hats, are among novelties seen in the shops. much for the practical side of the question and now let us turn to the models pictured with a view to studying each individually since they are so charmingly illustrative of the current trend to glitter, glamor and to dazzling effects in the silk parade of fall and winter fashions. The beauteous model to the left is fashioned of rich silk lame in a delectable tone of blue, shot with silver. The square decolletage is set off by jeweled clips the like of which also form the buckle for the belt. The short sleeves are interestingly cut on klimono lines, giving fullness to sleeves and shoulder. Eastern influence in evening fashions is most pronounced. Note the sari shawl of gold-squins which envelopes head and shoulders, adding brilliance to the stately black gown pictured to the right, which is made of a handsome silk velvet sheer. A tunic effect is simulated via an adrolyt positioned ruffle on the skirt whose princess lines are slenderizing in a subtly sophisticated way. This ruffle ties at the back in a clever pose. The smartest dressed women regard black with the glittering note as first in fashion this season. Greatest enthusiasm is shown for the cocktail dress or suit that adopts street length, it being a new entrant in the formal realm. The girl seated is wearing such a suit, its formally attested in the silk metal cloak tunic jacket, with the now-so-fashionable frog fastening at the waistline. The afternoon dress is of a graynal silk crepe in the same aqua blue shade as the metal jacket. A jeweled clip fastens the jacket. The peaked belt with its monumental vell is high-stile in its every detail. © Western New York Union TAILORED JERSEY By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1930s Wool jersey comes into its own, in that leading style creators are using it for their practical daytime dresses. The vogue for gray is increasingly apparent. There is a new beige-gray tone which is especially good style. Color accents on gray is fashion's latest message. The gray-beige jersey two-piece frock here shown is contrasted with a gray green and multicolor scarf with belt in matching green tone. The one-piece taller buttons down the front. It is fashioned of fine jersey in natural beige tone with trim accents in deep wine. Matching Gloves Handbags and gloves that match exactly as far as color is concerned are a smart accessory note. Wine and pine green are two popular colors. In The WEEK'S NEWS CURRENT EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE GAZETTE SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS—74,000 feet is a record made by American Army fliers, Captains Orville A. Anderson and Albert W. Stevens in Explorer II, the world's largest balloon. They are shown in the gondola in which they were lifted into the stratosphere. TEA FOR TWO—Two months early, the automobile shows are the focus of attention everywhere, with celebrities and average citizens flocking to see the cars. Here the fittings of a specially equipped Buick are being tried out by two of the celebrities, Collette D'Arville, comic opera star, and Philo Higley, Broadway playwright. HITS A TRIPLE—Once in a blue moon, or rather once in every million births, a cow produces triplets. So here we have Bessie, proud Ipswich, Mass., Guernsey mother, and her once-in-a-million offspring—Tom, Dick, and, of course, Harry. . . Bull-ieve it or not! FOR GALA NIGHTS—Metallic taffetas are among the season's smartest fabrics. Such a fabric in gun metal was chosen by Lu-cille Ball for her newest evening gown. The dress is styled with a halter bodice, finished at the waist with a ruffled peplum. RULING THE WAVES—This fearsome contrivance is a new Halliwell automatic heat-control permanent wave gadget shown at the recent National Beauty Show in New York. Louise Estes, dancer, shows she can grin and wear it. FABRIC THAT BREATHES—Exhaustive tests all new auto features go through and are indicated in this picture of a Pease laboratory scientist examining new "breathing back" mohair velvet upholstery introduced on 1936 Fisher bodies. The fabric loses heat quicker than former similar materials. The World's Clearing House for Toys Girllanden THE Christmas toys in endless variety are planned a year ahead of time. All over the world toy makers study the tastes of children large and small with intelligent sympathy. Every demand of millions of little customers is anticipated. For over 700 years toy makers have displayed their newest wares at the Leipzig Fair. Imagine a thousand toy shops one after another filled with the most fascinating toys. It is the greatest toy show in the world and regularly attracts buyers from seventy different countries. Here one catches a glimpse of Santa Claus' workshop. The taste in toys has often changed in the centuries. The toys of the middle ages while picturesque would have been scorned by up-to-date children of today, familiar with radio, aeroplane and other twentieth century marvels. The historic Fair, however, continues to be the great clearing house for toys which gladden the hearts of millions of children. The great toy show forms part Jointed dolls being put through their paces—Above at left; Welcoming the aeroplane to toyland—Above at right: Children delight in bigger and better elephants. of the 8,000 exhibits of every conceivable industrial product regularly displayed at Leipzig, which is attended by 180,000 business men. The toy show is housed in five of the 57 great exposition halls. At the next Fair to be held from March 1st to 6th, millions of new toys will be shown which later will find their way to happy homes in every corner of the world, including, of course, the United States.
