HAWKINS TO HEAD G.O.P. COMMITTEE Mrs. Booze Denies She Was Slighted "The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All HAWK PROFESSIONS OVERCROWDED SAYS DELANEY Day by day, interest in the contest is increasing, and some of the city's most popular young women and girls have given their names as contestants. Rosemont hall, at 19th and Broadway, has been selected as the place where the contest will be held, and the date for the affair has been definitely set for Saturday night, August 25. Interest in the affair is not by any means confined to Gary, and it is expected that a record-breaking crowd of Chicagoans will compete with Garyites in a rush to get tickets for this unusual affair. Of course, one of the major attractions at the beauty show, will be dancing. And it will be the kind of dancing most people will enjoy, for Sammy Stewart has worked out a special dance program for the occasion. (Gary American Press Service) ST.

Let me say that I don't deny my friendship with the buffet flat women and this time, if I am elected President of the United States, I will rent three-fourths of the White House to the buffet flat women. For I consider that there's a large amount of good space in the White House going to waste and the nation should get some revenue out of a building that has a million dollar roof and no one to sleep on it. --- FIRST YEAR. NO. 20. Negro Youth Ought To Seek Work In Other Fields A MATTER FOR THOUGHT Vealthy Group Not Confined To the Physicians By DR. FRANK S. DELANEY (Copyright: 1928: By Gary American, Inc) By request, I have been asked to discuss the Negro and his opportunities in relation to Law, Dentistry, and Medicine. Very often one hears statements to the effect that these three professions are over crowded. It also happens that the majority of our educated young men turn toward these fields for their future livelihood and the question is asked, "Why they do not seek other fields?" This whole matter raises an important question this season when hundreds of our young men are preparing to enter college in a few weeks looking forward to prepare themselves for their life's work. It is undoubtedly true that young people should be allowed the liberty to choose the field of labor for which they believe themselves to be the best fitted and through which they can render the largest service to society, remembering that whatever profession they may follow has plenty of work to be done that nobody is doing. There is perhaps a very definite reason that so many young men are turning to Law, Dentistry and Medicine; these professions have furnished the easiest access to money; and Dollars have become the God of purge. It is estimated that one out of every five Lawyers, Dentists and Doctors of our race are serving in Dining Cars, Pullman Cars, Hotels or doing some other type of work other than their own profession. At this particular period in the life of the American Negro, there is a demand, and an opportunity for small business and skilled labor which properly co-ordinated could be made to succeed in a very admirable way, and which are imperative to the future success of the race. It is possible that many of the young men who are entering the field of Law, Dentistry or Medicine might select to an advantage certain trades or fields of business. It must be kept in mind that the soil, the factory and other industries constitute the foundation upon which the professional group must necessarily be supported. And, that it is also true that the largest wealth of most race groups is not confined to the professional class. To the Editor of the Gary American Much Abused Sir: Through the kindness of our good mayor, Floyd E. Williams, and our chief of police, I have been loaned the alley between Massachusetts and Broadway, for the opening of my preliminary campaign for the republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America. This most generous act I look upon as a sign that these gentlemen see in me the future of our most glorious race, the eagle that will not cease soaring until she has penetrated far beyond the clouds. This will be a most arousing occasion, this meeting, when I give to the public and in that volley in my grand campaign to place the treasury of the United States in the hands of the Negro race. My meeting will open with Casey Jones playing his accordion, and then the Honorable W. C. Hueston will introduce the Honorable A. B. Whitlock, who will tell why we should have an heabeus corpus in the White house, after which Jack Johnson will lead in prayer. My own speech will be broadcast ed by the Backstairs Gossip club, composed entirely of women. I have arranged to let you have a copy of this speech to appear in your most esteemed newspaper. Unfortunately some wise old fellows are criticizing me. They say that a few years ago I was mixed up with the buffet flat women and that the buffet flat women argued me into running for the mayor of The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER Beauty Race Here to Draw Many Folks Hundreds To Attend Bathing Beauty Contest Here With Sammy Stewart already engaged to come here with his famous band and render the music, the first annual bathing beauty contest to select the most beautiful girl in the state of Indiana, which is being sponsored here, is expected to be the most outstanding event, regardless of kind, that has ever been staged in northern Indiana among colored people Interest is Increasing Vying with each other to win the big prize to be offered, the girls who enter the contest are only required to have a photograph of themselves taken in a bathing suit. No other requirement is necessary to meet in order to take part in the contest. So far, a number of Gary's most captivating maidens have rushed into the contest and prospects were bright today for the entrance of many more. The dancing will follow the selection of the winner. The selection will be made by five impartial judges, who will pick the most comely malden in the contest. In addition to the selection of the winner and the dance program which will follow, an entertaining musical program will also be held in connection. So, Mr. Editor, if you know any buffet flat woman that wants to put a good man into a seventy-five thousand dollar job, send her to me. And don't be cautious about whispering to bootleggers that I am a wet man and that they can peddle all they want in the White House, the Capitol, or any other building in Washington, when I am President of this great country. For with out the bootleggers how could we get along? Mut, Mr. Editor, where can I get some money for my campaign expenses? I tried to touch Rev. Daney, but he began to talk upift. I don't think he's so good for campaign expenses. How would Dr. Blackwell do? Or is it possible you would donate us a few thousand? At any rate, Mr. Editor, come around and see me, I won a quart of god Canadian stuff betting on Tunney in the recent fight, and I would like to give you a taste of it. But, Mr. Editor, be careful how much you drink of it; for I need most of it to inspire me in my speeches. Yours All Wound Up For Indian Summer. BROTHER JONATHAN. 5 What are the little fishes saying? What would they say looking at this group of comely bathing beauties as they stroll along the sands of the beach. Contestants in Chicago's bathing beauty contest, they would cause a lot of comment anywhere. Gary's bathing beauty contest, which is attracting girls equally as good-looking as the ones shown above, will be held here August 25. Quartet To Sing Here Next Sunday At Jones Sunday Tuskegee Institute's famous quartette is coming to Gary to sing Negro melodies and to give Gary lovers of music a musical treat, it was announced today. Coming to the city to be presented in a program here, the quartette will be heard at Jones Community church, Twenty-first and Washington street, Monday evening, August 13, at 8 p. m. it was announced by the Rev. H. L. P. Jones, pastor. The quartette is composed of Alvin J. Neely, second tenor; Leroy Brown, first tenor; Nathaniel McCray, baritone; and William Wiley, bass. The public generally is invited to hear the singers who have arranged a special program for the entertainment of local residents in their appearance here at Jones Community church. Tickets for the concert are on sale. Exclusive Hosiery Shop Opens on S. S. Opening of an exclusive women's hosiery and lingerie shop on the South Side was announced today, coupled with the further announcement that a policy of fairness of all will be carried out in its relations with its friends and patrons. The new hosiery and lingerie shop is The Venus Shoppe, which has just opened up at 1732 Broadway, near the corner of Eighteenth avenue. The show will feature such merchandise as will interest those women who are particular about what they wear, according to an announcement given to The Gary American early today. The store will carry a full line of stylish hosiery, lingerie and accessories of dependable quality. Everyone is invited to come to the store and get acquainted with its merchandise. The patronage of all who come to the shop will be appreciated, it was stated by the management today. William Allen White seems to have come to the conclusion that what Kansas needs is to raise more evidence.

THE REGULAR SUB SCRIPTION PRICE OF THE PAPER IS $2 PER YEAR. YOU SAVE A DOLLAR BY SENDING IN THE COUPON AT ONCE. Have you ever received a personal letter that was so good that you wanted everybody to read it? Struggling along trying to run a newspaper, Chaucey Townsend, editor of The Gary American, received such a letter this week. And the letter is so "clever", so "chaste", and so clearly reveals the type of person that its author is, and shows him to be such a "scholarly" and "dignified gentleman" that Mr. Townsend has ordered it published in The Gary American The letter, sent as a personal reply, was not intended by its author to be published, but Mr. Townsend has ordered it published so that the "cultured attainments" and "fine judgment" of its author, Mister Edward McKinley Bacoyn, may be revealed as shown by his correspondence. The letter follows: My Dear Mr. Townsend; Your letter has been received in which you sustained your very cantic and terae criticism of my method of prosecuting the case, and you have been positioned very clear, and therefore leave no room for doubt or conjecture. Any issue that may have been seen, anticipated or imitated is no longer extant by reason of the fact that I am concurring in your opinion that you have had serious controversy from any possible controversy with you or your paper. I would not choose such light occupation, already have sufficient reason to believe that I am seriously. I assure you that I shall never so again. In the right of course, to continue your criticism of me or my methods used in establishing justice in a court of record of which I am an officer. If you have any doubt, I may even attack me in your paper but I can give you no assurance that you won't be laughed at.

The fun question, above all, is whether you even if you were worth it, not would I elate you for contempt of court in misrepresenting the court's decision while the judge has not made more than a nice cell in the jail house where contempt beds Please write me another nice letter. I enjoy them so much—they are so nice. Then, too, I just love to get letters from important editors like you—the make the best of funny papers yet. (Signed) Edward McKinley Bacoy Now that this letter has been published, it is the sincere wish of The Gary American that Mr. Bacoyn may have every honor which his "culture," "dignity," and "scholarship" may win for him thru efforts like this one. Mr. Bacoyn is a "clever fellow." Don't think he doesn't know it, although he has been "practicing" in Gary for several years and hasn't won a case in any court as yet. The Gary American is filling his letter for future references and for future publication in appropriate connection with Mr. Bacoyn's future antics.

'ROMEO AND JULIET' TO BE GIVEN HERE AUG. 31 BY LOCAL PLAYERS MRS. BOOZE NOT JIM CROWED, SO SHE DECLARES Woman Member of G. O. P. Committee Denies Report OFFERS PRINTED STATEM'T Had Made Previous Engagement for Another Affair By SARAH TAFT SIMS WASHINGTON. — Printed statements that she has been discriminated against as a member of the republican national committee were flatly denied at republican headquarters today by Mrs. Mary C. Booze, national committeewoman from Mississippi. Mrs. Booze stated that newspaper stories which represented that she had been excluded from a luncheon given by Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice-chairman of the national committee, and from the official photograph of national committeewoman, were absolutely untrue. "I am surprised as well as distressed to read the published statements to the effect that I was discriminated against or snubbed at the meeting of the republican national committeewomen last week," Mrs. Booze said. "Had such been the case no one would have more quickly resented it than I but the facts are quite the contrary. Is is alleged that I was not present at the luncheon or when the official photograph was taken. "I would have attended the luncheon had I not made a previous engagement and as for not being photographed with the committee I was not only invited but urged to do so and the best proof that I was present is to be found in the photograph which was published in the daily papers throughout the country. "During my service on the national committee I have received nothing but the most courteous and kindly treatment from Mrs. Hert and the other members of the committee and for this reason I deplore the injustice done them by the charge of discourtesy on their part." Rex Theatre Will Show Chaney Film More than a dozen outstanding pictures have been booked by the Rex theatre, 2169 Broadway, for exhibition in the next few weeks, according to an announcement made today by Metody Cozmanoff, manager. Some of the big pictures which are scheduled to be shown at the Rex are: "The Magic Flame" with Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman; "The Big City" starring Lon Chaney and "West Point" starring William Haines. "We have secured these pictures to give our patrons the best in cinema entertainment," Mr. Cozmanoff stated to the American today. A special program will be presented next Sunday at the Rex with Orville Shelton, organist, playing a special organ number on the new $10,000 Paige organ as an additional attraction. For the first time in the history of the colored people of Gary, an effort will be made to successfully stage and enact Shakespearean drama, according to an announcement given exclusively to The Gary American late today. This effort will come to fruit when the United Order of Beaux Arts presents at the Roosevelt theater Shakespeare's immortal love drama "Romeo and Juliet" on August 31. Never before has an affair of this magnitude been attempted by colored people in Gary, according to those who are sponsoring the play.

HOOSIER NAMED HEAD OF CLUBS Mrs. Sallie Stewart Made President of Club Association WASHINGTON—Mrs. Sallie W Stewart of Evansville, Indiana, was elected president of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs here Friday by a unanimous vote. The newly elected president has been active in the affairs of the association for a number of years and her election was almost a forgone conclusion long before the election of officers was held. The election of officers brought to a close one of the most successful meetings ever held by the Association and an end to the administration of Mrs. Mary McLeod Berthune, during whose encambry the organization made rapid strides in every direction. The exclusive right to sell Victrolas and Victrola records and supplies has been granted to the Rex Music shop, 2169 Broadway, according to an announcement made today. A full line of Victor records has been put in stock at the Rex, and from now on the needs of every person who wants Victor records can be supplied, it was stated. The Victor Talking Machine company, manufacturers of Victor records, is one of the few record companies which can boast of having famous artists in every phase of music. In addition to carrying the Victor records, the Rex Music Shop will also have on sale Q. R. S. player piano rolls, as well as Columbia race records and sheet music. Expression of Boston, will supervise the production. The principal characters in the play will be enacted by a cast of accomplished play makers headed by actors and actresses of recognized ability. The play is one of the many splendid programs to be given here in Gary by the United Order of Beaux Arts, of which Atty Charles L. Mason is head. Associated with Mr. Mason in the Order of Beaux Arts are: Dr. Bailey, prominent physician and surgeon; C. J. James and William C. Hicks. Tickets for the play are on sale at the Climax pharmacy, Nineteenth and Broadway. Man Who 2nded Nomination of Hoover Made Chairman CAMPAIGN WORK PLANNED Holsey, Barnett and Others Get Berths; Scott Honored WASHINGTON. — Announcement was made today by Chairman Hubert Work of the appointment of a colored voters' division of the republican national committee to direct the Hoover-Curtis presidential campaign among the colored people of the United States. Executive Committee John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., who seconded Mr. Hoover's nomination at Kansas City has been made chairman of the executive committee. Albon L. Holsey, secretary of Tennessee institute, and of the National Negro Business league, was chose secretary. The other members of the executive committee are: Walter Foster of Boston, State Senator Adelbert H. Roberts of Chicago, John N. Mall, real estate operator of New York; Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, prominent club woman of Kansas City; Robert R. Church, business man, of Memphis, Mrs. A. W. Hunton of New York City, prominent civic leader; and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, formerly special assistant to the secretary of war and secretary-treasurer of Howard university. "We are gratified," said Chairman Work, "that there has been such a fine voluntary response and pledge of support from the colored people. This committee is composed of leaders of thought and opinion representing their business, professional, religious and educational life. In my opinion, the election of Herbert Hoower will herald a new day of hope and opportunity for the group they represent." Headquarters offices of the colored voters' division will be in the Barr building, from which the national campaign is being conducted. Branch headquarters will be opened in Chicago, and possibly also in New Work. "A spirited campaign in which business, professional and religious leaders of the race will have a prominent and active part, is to be launched immediately," said Chairman Hawkins.

This was followed by breakfast and morning devotional in the open air chapel. A daily schedule of work, study and play was observed. Each day's program closed with an evening camp fire out in the open. This is the first opportunity Gary colored girls have had to go to camp and the workers of the settlement houses were very anxious that the girls make use of the privilege, thereby stimulating public interest in the "Better Girl" movement. It is felt that the girls have been greatly benefited by the contacts made at camp by learning the art of living together peaceably, by the strict discipline maintained, and by the standard of high ideals portrayed through fair play and good sportsmanship. The committee wishes to thank all donors who so graciously contributed to the support of this new adventure and to specially thank Messrs. Crawford, of Crawford Billiard Parlors, Dr. McMitchell, Dr. Bertha Kelley, Mr. Hightower, Mr. Allen, Mr. Fields and Mr. W. W.

PASSING FOR WHITE A Negro bishop has made the statement that 5,000 light-skinned Negroes in the United States yearly pass over and live as white people. A white minister in New York City who drove a taxi cab for a week in order to get some experience, reported in a written interview for The New York World that 8,000 Negroes pass for white in New York City alone. This is subject which causes the white population of the country a good deal of worry. It never fails to arouse discussion and speculation in any meeting of an interracial character. White people, of course, are deathly afraid of having the black blood crop out in their wives, sweethearts, sons, daughters, husbands, consors, uncles and aunts. They do not know who is "passing" and who is not. Why do Negroes pass? To get jobs primarily. The job is the main thing. Along with the job, of course, comes the enjoyment of the privileges which are denied dark-skinned people. To go freely here and there, to be welcome in stores, shops, theatres, hotels, on trains, buses; to not have to stop and whisper "can we—?" Many dozens of times the expression has been made about certain colored people: "If they were white, they would be worth—." McGraw is said to have placed high prices on certain Negro baseball stars with the "if he were white" provision. A certain Negro engineer, who had a white partner, had his firm denied a contract in southern Kansaas, near the Oklahoma line, when it was found one of the firm was a Negro. A certain banker in Kansas City, when approached for a $4,000 loan on a piece of Negr property bluntly stated that "no Negro home was worth $4,000 in the beginning." So Negroes who can, pass. Not to be white or to be with white people (95 per cent, who have passed don't like the association of white people as such) but to get rewards and treatment according to their merit and not their color. And who wouldn't pass? And who blames them? Nobody!—Kansas City Call.

THE NECESSITY OF ADVERTISING (The Indianapolis Recorder) Negro business folk of this community are engaged in a diversified line of business. General trade is at a low ebb and they are doing business today on a smaller margin of profit than ever before. The Negro tradesman or business person, while not to his discredit, for many reasons, operates on a small basis. The high range of prices prevailing since the late war and the merger and combine of business of every line has made a mighty inroad on the business of the small tradesman. Today the small tradesman who usually eaters to those very near him and such clientele as is created over a long period of time, is using every conceivable legitimate method to get business or even hold his own.

THE HEALTH QUESTION By Dennis A. Bethea, M.D. Health Editor of The American SORROW Sorrow comes to each one of us at some time in our life. It is just as sure to come as Christmas or the rent man. In most of our lives, the pendulum swings to and fro between joy and sorrow. Your pain and your pleasure rotates like the winds and the weather. Sometimes it comes on just like a storm on a fair day. Just why it should do this when we are in the midst of our joys is more than we can understand. Perhaps it is something like the case when we were children; the teacher would call us from our play when the game was the hottest or our mother would make us go SORROW Sorrow comes to each one of us at some time in our life. It is just as sure to come as Christmas or the rent man. In most of our lives, the pendulum swings to and fro between joy and sorrow. Your pain and your pleasure rotates like the winds and the weather. Sometimes it comes on just like a storm on a fair day. Just why it should do this when we are in the midst of our joys is more than we can understand. Perhaps it is something like the case when we were children; the teacher would call us from our play when the game was the hottest, or our mother would make us go to bed when we were the widest awake. It does seem as though some one is all the time taking the joy out of life. Sometimes it comes to us by way of humiliation. Perhaps you once had money, a comfortable home, a good position or high social standing; but somehow, ill luck struck you and all these are gone. Now you have to go in a far different circle and wear a much cheaper grade of clothing than you are accustomed to do. Or it may be that you are a Jew, a Chinaman or a Negro and they, push you to one corner and tell you "to stay there or else." On another occasion when all seems to be going well, the evening of our lives may be passing in laughter and song, when all at once there comes a ghost-like monster stalking at the door—it is losses. Many men are fortunate to have always been on the winning side in money matters, or they may not have ever had their good name rolled in the mud and mire; but every mother's son and daughter of us, have suffered the loss of a near and dear relative, by death. And too, who has not suffered defeat of his best laid plans? Perhaps you have put your money and time in some enterprise, only to see it go to pieces like a glass jar that falls on the sidewalk. Or you have slaved and prayed to put your boy or girl through school, only to watch the child make a fizzle out of life. Or it may be that you have planned and dreamed of how happy you would be whenever you married the man or woman of your choice who was so dear to you, but you now see your mistake—too late, too late! Knowing as we do that dark days will come, it shows wisdom to get ready for them while the days are clear, just the same as you put money in the bank or take out insurance. Suppose you have made a poor investment and lost, suppose you are out of a job, or suppose you drew a blank when you married or suppose your body is all wrecked with pains and aches; don't be a crybaby, brace up and take your medicine like a good sport.
