Ask your merchant why he does not employ colored clerks in his store. VOLUME II, NUMBER THIRTY-SEVEN BARE MUSTARD Dear F. M. D.: The boy friends says that as you are now out of the barrel, having busted through the bottom, you can bring along some money to buy some gas as his car won't get more'n eight miles to a gallon with you in it. He says if you don't he'll tell Minnie, my little sister, the truth as soon as she gets off the train here in Gary. He has written and told her you were a goodlooking, long tall daddy with plenty of bucks. Personally, if I were you, I'd get somebody to take my place that night or else buy a disguise. It will probably be an awful shock to my kid sis when she sees you. But if you talk to her like you did to me that night before you knew my boy friend was a prize fighter, you might win out. She's young and innocent and falls for smooth lines. But you know it takes more than to handle these Gary girls. You've tried often enough and lost. Well, you do your part and maybe you can fool her. If I didn't think you really needed a girl I wouldn't go to any trouble. But if you try to use either a hammer or an axe . . . ... AND THEN THERE'S THE LITTLE BOY WHOSE PARENTS WERE SO POOR HE HAD TO HAVE THE MEASLES ONE BUMP AT A TIME ... Us columnists has a lot to bear. Someday we're going to quit taking things and stand up for our rights. It was only yesterday that little Dickie Dishwater, the office pest, broke in to our office in the basement and disturbed us just as we were having our second dream in our afternoon nap. We woke up thinking all sorts of things. Maybe Bill Burrus would get to run for alderman of the Third ward next fall. Or maybe they were going to let Ole Doc Bingham grow his goatee in peace. Or maybe Milo Murray had cleaned his pipe. Or maybe A. Leverett Webster was writing another book. We thought of a lot of things, but not a one was true. Instead, Dickie, as soon as he got his breath, asks us all excited like: "Why does a chicken cross the road?" The heat has the better of this wild youth, we thought. But we answered his correctly. "To get to the other side," we said. Dickie's face fell. "Doggone it, your're smart, ain'tcha," he said. But he brightened up immediately. "Why 'does a black hen hay a white egg?' he fired at us. We decided to humor him but still we wanted to keep up our record of always answering correctly. So we said, "If she didn't, she'd break it." Now he did look downhearted. "To keep his trousers up. Why does a fireman wear red suspenders?" Then we knew the heat had him. But we were also insulted. "How come you treat us like that?" we asked accusingly. Dickie laughed. "If you ain't gonna bite, I'll tell the answer first and the question last. But here's one. It's good. What is it that has four legs and a tail and stays around the house and goes 'bow-wow' —" We saw a chance to regain our dignity. We opened our mouth to speak and cut off Dickie. He but kept on. "—and has feathers on it?" We shrut up. We know when we're caught. We said we couldn't answer that one. We also thought of calling up St. John hospital and asking Dr. Hedrick to hurry right down. "It's a dog," he said. We reached for the telephone. But curiosity got the better of us. "What's the feathers for-" we asked innocently Well, maybe he doesn't know any better. —F. M. D. and An. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BE MORE NOW THAN I Don't let the new and small $1 bill fool you. If you belong to the host of cynics who say that the new paper money has been cut down to fit its purchasing power, here's something worth remembering: The dollar in June, according to an announcement made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington, D.C., bought more than it did in June of 1926. It was announced that the purchasing power of this June's dollar was 103.7 as compared with 100 in 1928. It purchased less meat, butter and cheese in June than it did three years ago, the bureau said, but in other foods it power the ing power more bought the much Fuel price is with a and K leum, Amor creases beef s and on hogs, and we TRIO INJURED IN CAR CRASH HERE AT INTERSECTION Contractor, Mail Man And Wife Sustain Minor Bruises As Their Car Overturns Their car colliding with another auto at the corner of 15th and Colfax Monday evening, Sam Williams, 2676 Adams street, prominent contractor here, and Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Griffin, 2628 Massachusetts street, well known mail carrier and his wife, luckily escaped death and suffered only minor injuries as the result of the crash. Mr. Williams was driving the car, his own and a Dodge Senior which he purchased a few months ago. According to him, the other car drove suddenly out from a side street directly in front of him. Unable to swerve to one side, the autos came together. Mr. Williams' car was overturned. Damage done to its is estimated to be about $500. Cuts and bruises were the only injuries sustained by those riding in the Williams car. Mr. Williams himself the worst harm, a possible fracture to his arm. SUES CITY FOR $3,500 DAMAGE Suit for $3,500 damages to be collected from the city of Gary if successful was filed in the superior court here Wednesday by Mrs. Mary J. Hester, 1906 Maryland. Mrs. Hester claims to have become permanently disabled when struck by a police automobile in October, 1927. She was knocked to the pavement at the corner of 17th and Broadway. Also injured at the time was a three year old child she was carrying in her arms. Her injuries, Mrs. Hester states in the complaint, consisted of a broken arm and spinal injuries in addition to minor hurts. She had to undergo medical treatment in a hospital for several weeks and that she has never since completely recovered. 40 LOCAL YOUTHS ENROLL FOR CAMP Nearly 40 Boy Scouts from district No. 5 have registered for the annual encampment held yearly at Camp Pottwatamile in Indiana Dunes state park from August 5 to 12, according to an announcement made this week by scout officials. At the meeting last Monday night of the new Boy Scout sub-council held at the Hunton branch of the Y. M. C. A., Dr. R. W. Grubbs was elected chairman. This new body is composed of leaders from district No. 5 and was formed several weeks ago through the efforts of Ralph G. Clarke, scout executive, and south side scout leaders. —John Philip Souza's famous band is composed entirely of Americanborn and American trained musician. foods it represented 113 in purchasing power as compared with 1926. The biggest change in the purchasing power was in rubber, of which more than twice as much could be bought for the same money. In drugs the dollar could get almost half as much again. Fuel and lighting materials led the price increases in June over May, with advances reported for California and Kansas-Oklahoma crude petroleum, fuel oil and gasoline. Among farm products, price increases were reported for wheat, corn, beef steers, calves, lemons, oranges and onions. There were decreases for hogs, sheep, lambs, live poultry, hay and wool.

DE PRIEST SAYS HE 'KNOWS HOW' Oscar De Priest, congressional representative from the First Illinois district, fired his second big gun in his campaign for enfranchisement of the Negro in the South. It was during a meeting Sunday afternoon at Friendship Baptist church on Chicago's west side. "There is enough power in this district to elect a congressman from our race" he declared. "In fact, there are 100 districts in the United States from which Negro congressmen should be sent to Washington. "If you do not know how to organize and elect a representative from our race to congress in this district, I'll come over and show you. I know how." Mr. De Priest speaks in Gary tonight at the First Baptist church, located at 21st and Washington. Mrs. De Priest, according to an announcement, will also be with him.

JAIL TWO MEN AS THIEVES OF AUTO Carl Piper, 21, and William Flanagan, 31, both of 2165 Adams street, were arrested Monday by Detective Sergeant John Bolden and Detective Robert Bock and charged with the theft of an automobile Saturday night. The car, which belonged to Clinton Dedmore, white, of Joliet, Ill., was stolen from 37th and Michigan in Chicago. It was recovered at 22nd and Washington here. RILEY JEWELRY STORE IS TAKEN OVER BY LOVELAND AND REGEI Ralph A. Loveland, formerly manager of Simon Bros, jewelry store at 6922 Broadway, and Dr. W. G. Regel formerly optometrist at the same place have just purchased W. G. Riley's jewelry store, located at 577 Broadway, and will continue to do business under that name. Both men are well known to south siders as they have lived here and been in business for considerable time. They are inviting all of their old friends to visit them at their new place of business.

M. E. church, now in the process of being erected at 2337 Washington street, will be laid this Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, according to an announcement made this week by the Rev. A. C. Bailey, pastor of the church. Work on the new edifice has been going on for more than a month. It is planned to complete the building within the next six weeks. It will be entirely finished in time for the annual conference to be held here beginning October 9. Bishop James A. Hamlet, presiding bishop of the eighth episcopal district of the C. M. E. church, will be here next Sunday. At the morning services held at 11 o'clock, Dr. Hamlet will preach. He will also officiate at the corner stone laying. The event of the day for Israel church takes place that afternoon at three o'clock. St. Luke lodge No. 43, F. & A. M., will do the corner stone laying at the special ceremonies. A band will be on hand to furnish music for the occasion. A number of people prominent in Gary civic and ecclesiastical life are also expected to be in attendance. A special invitation has been extended to the other ministers and their congregations to be present. The public is also cordially invited. The committee in charge is composed of James B. Taylor, J. W. Golden, John Allen and Rev. Bailey. NEW FIRM HERE MAKES DRESSES The Sythia Dress Manufacturing Co., located at 2146 Broadway, is the late taddition to the business world of Gary. It is owned and managed entirely by Clifton Sythia, who was engaged in the same business for 18 months in Chicago before coming to Gary two weeks ago. This new manufacturing organization does wholesale business exclusively at present. The Goldblatt Department Store Co., located on Chicago's west side, the Lawnsdale Maid and other large Chicago stores of that type take the local firm's output of 35 dresses daily. Mr. Sythia says he will be able to furnish stores in Gary and nearby cities with his products as soon as samples can be made. Sixteen girls are employed, most of whom are Negro. They work in two shifts. Plans to make room for more machines are being formulated, which will mean that a larger force will be necessary. GIRL SPURNS HIM; HE PLANS SUICIDE V. K. Taylor, 1529 Massachusetts street, was disappointed in two ways Saturday. First thing, his sweetheart turned him down. Then, when he went home to drink creoset and end it all, his friend., Charles Newsom, 1541 Jefferson street, jerked the bottle out of his hand. Taylor was rushed to St. Antonio hospital for treatment but as he had swallowed none of the poison he was dismissed. REFUSED LIGHT, WATER FOR WINNETKA HOME Andrew Steward, a Chicago contractor who recently paid $21,500 for a home at 786 Locust street in an exclusive section of Winnetka, Ill., is preparing to take court action to compel the Winnetka authorities to supply him electric light and water. Arrangements for moving his furniture to his new dwelling were completed last week when Steward called at the office of W. L. Woolhiser, the village manager, and notified him to turn on the water supply. Woolhiser, who admitted he refused, precidts the matter will still be settled amicably. Birmingham, Ala., has grown from a town of 3,000 in 1880 to a city of more than 180,000 today. ATTENDS CONFAB A familiar figure at all conferences and conventions of the A. M. E church, Mrs. A. C. Kelley, 1956 Massachusetts street, is attending the Woman's Home Mite Missionary conference in Jacksonville, Ill. CONSUMER WILL GIVE WORK TO 2 Two people of color will be employed by the new Consumers Packing Co., store now being prepared for occupancy at the corner of 25th and Broadway, it was learned on reliable authority here this week. There will be no Negro clerks, however. The management plans to employ one as a delivery noy and another as janitor. This store, which will open on August 1, will be operated by an independent organization. Gross and Wise will be its managers. However, neither is related to the proprietors of the Midwest or northwest meat and grocery stores farther north on Broadway. This new store will be one of the biggest of its kind in Gary and by far the largest in that section of town. If it hires none of our race as clerks, this will be taken as an insult by the race from which it hopes to make its biggest profits. Meanwhile the Broadway pharmacy located in 1630 Broadway, is being painted and decorated by two men of our race as further evidence of this institution's appreciation for our trade. As it is located in the heart of the south side, its partons are mainly people of color and at all times it tries to show a spirit of friendliness and fair play. KIP DECLARES HE'S NOT IN BIG HURRY TO DIVORCE ALICE Las Vegas, Nev. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, disinherited son of a New York family of blue-bloods, who came here in January to take advantage of Nevada's divorce laws, stated Monday that he was in no hurry to divorce his wife, Alice, but believed he would eventually. He is living in a two-room shack in the Charleston mountains. "I'm not in a hurry to get my divorce," Rhinelander said. "Though I'll get it all right. I've had a terrible battle for five years but there is no hurry. There are a lot of things, legal papers and advice from my attorneys in the East to cause a delay." TIDRINGTON TO GET JOB AS REGISTER Ernest J. Tidrington of Evansville may get the office of Register of the Treasury, according to members of the Indiana state central ommittee. This is the report just coming out of Washington, D. C. They claim that President Hover promised the colored people of Indiana recognition. Naturally they have picked out a substantian reward for their efforts and have nominated Tidrington their state chairman for the position of honor in the treasury department. Tidrington spent several days in Washington last week and was seen calling upon several influential republicans.

TO PLAY GAME HERE DRAWS $10 FINE FOR SECOND RAPE CH LINE FOR ATTACK; RAPE CHARGE PENDING DRAWS $10 FINE FOR ATTACK; SECOND RAPE CHARGE PENDING --- --- --- HUESTON DENIES HE'LL BE IN ELK RACE FOR RULER Education Commissioner Says He Wishes Only To Succeed Self And Not Head Order Declaring that he wished only to succeed himself as commissioner of education for the Elk lodge, Justice William C. Hueston Tuesday denied the rumor that he would be a third candidate for grand exalted ruler of the order when it meets in Atlantic City this August for its annual grand lodge session. This denial came as the result of an interview by a reporter for The American following a story sent out by the Associated Negro Press and published in many newspapers, including The American, that many Elks wanted neither present Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson nor Casper Holstein, the New York City philathropist. It was said that Hueston was looked upon by these disgruntled Elks as a good candidate. Justice Hueston, when he returned here this week after being absent from the city on business, admitted having heard something of the story printed in many weeklies but stated that it was not founded on facts. While the race for grand exalted ruler may be very colse, it is quite generally believed that the local Elk official will be reelected. The Indiana lodges and many in other states have endorsed him. His strongest competitor will be Armond Scott of Washington, D. C., a past grand exalted ruler of the order. A baseball game between the Kansas City Monarchs and Detroit Stars will be held next Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at Gleason park. This game is sponsored by the Hunton branch Y. M. C. A.

The general public will be given an opportunity at that time, of seeing the team that is leading the second half of the National Baseball League give it's best efforts to the game with the Detroit team. QUARTETTE VISITS GARY The Harmony Four quartet of Alliance, Ohio, paid Gary a visit Sunday at the invitation of Rev. Portis, and sang at two churches; Macedonia Baptist church, at eleven o'clock, and St John Baptist church at three o'clock. All who heard them were enthusiastic in their commendation of the merits of their singing and eagerly await their return which is scheduled for some time in August. ted.

He is still under the care of Dr. Hedrick but is able to move about with the aid of a crutch. youth who lives at 2552 Washington street, a fine of only $10 and costs when arraigned before Special City Judge Clarence R. Davis Thursday charged with assault with intent to rape Geneva Nealy, 20, in her home at 2652 Connecticut street a few weeks ago. When he gets through serving the term necessitated by his inability to pay a fine, Taylor will have to appear before Justice William S. Tueston to finish a rape charge lodged against him eight days prior to the Nealy episode. In that instance Elsie Mitchell, 30, 2301 Massachusetts street was the victim. The case was taken under advisement by Justice Hueston and a short continuance granted when it first came up. AGED GARYITE IS TREATED BADLY AT ST. ANTONIO Dr. White Begs For Case Then Neglect's Patient; Leaves Him In Dangerous Fix Inhuman treatment said to be received by many people of color at St. Antonio hospital, located at 1837 Jefferson street, was made known this week when Alfred Sturgess, 57, 2563 Connecticut street, told representatives of The American how he had been allowed to lie in agony for several weeks there while under the questionable care of Dr. William J. White, white, staff physician of that institution. Mr. Sturgess, who had his leg broken when run over by an automobile on the night of May 4, stayed at the hospital for one month before being taken to his home. He has since been under the care of Dr. Robert M. Hedick who is successfully remedying the injury. While Mr. Sturgess lay on the ground writhing in agony he had watched the "vampire" auto speed lightless away into the night on May 1, Dr. White and an ambulance appeared. He does not know how either got there so soon. "I'll take your case and heal you for $100," Dr. White stated. The accident victim wanted relief at any price. He agreed. The ambulance then took his to St. Antonio hospital. After his leg was amputated, Mr. Sturgeon says he was neglectful for four days. It was unusually warm at that time. The odor was almost un bearable. Big blue files swarmed thickly all over the window screens, seeking entrance. When the injured man's daughters and a friend, Mrs. Porter, of 2577 Connecticut street, appeared at the hospital to visit him and saw what condition he was in, they immediately telephoned Dr. White and asked him to "in God's name, do something for that man." Demands-Pay "Let him pay me, and I'll work on him. I want my money," is the answer the attending doctor is reported to have given their plea for attention. Mr. Sturgess, who understood that the fee was to be paid at the conclusion of the case as is the usual custom, did not then have the money as $300 check he was expecting was not due to arrive so soon. His daughters offered to pay as much of that amount as they could in order to stop their father's suffering. He was finally prevailed upon to attend to the patient and did so only at irregular intervals. Mr. Sturgess claims that he often went four or five days without treatment and that he was in great agony during the time. It is also claimed that the hospital itself treated the aged man no better. There was often no provision made for his refuse and one evening after Mrs. Porter had reported this condition Mr. Sturgess asked for a laxative. "Tell that woman to give you a laxative," he says hospital officials answered him." Gets More Money When he was carried away from the hospital, he paid Dr. White $100 for his service and the hospital $75 at its fee. But his leg was not healed. Dr. White continued with the case—and demanded $3 for each call made at the Sturgess home. He came twice but refused to come a third time as on his second trip he claimed he had not been paid the full $3. Here Dr. Hedrick entered the case. Mr. Sturgess was in deep agony and required immediate attention. Dr. Hedrick found, on examination, that the leg had not been properly amputa- The Nealy girl, with whom Taylor claims to have had illicit relations several times prior to the attack, was assaulted in her home a few days after the youth had been bailed out of jail. Going to her home and finding no one there but herself, Taylor attacked and was choking her into submission when Will Lucas, who lived across the street at 2549 Connecticut street, entered and separated the pair. At his instigation, Taylor was arrested. The Mitchell woman was attacked, according to her story, when she accompanied Taylor to his room after the two had met at a party a few blocks away. Fritz W. Alexander, prominent local attorney, represented Taylor at both hearings. It cost Harvey Taylor, 23 year old TWO CANDIDATES TOFLL CAT oe Washington, D. C.—There is a pos- sibility that either Clifton R. Warton, secretary of the United States legation at Monrovia, or George H. Woodson, Des Moine, fa., lawyer and deputy eus: toms collector in the Iowa city, may be named to fill the post of Minister to Liberia left vacant last week by the death of William T. Francis, who was appointed by Calvin Coolidge to that position in 1927. There is a possibility, however, that neither may be named and that pres sure will be brought to bear upon President Hoover to reward others.
