HELLO, EVERYBODY! A man who drinks a lot of bootleg liquor tried to kill himself the other day by taking a big shot of carbolic acid, but it didn't do any good. He felt better after he drank it than he did before.
A fishing worm fell in some liquor the other day, crawled out, began thinking how its tribe was being picked on, then went down to the river and strangled two trout and a catfish.
These are the days when a man can take a glass of gin and drink himself to death.
An efficiency expert is an undertaker who starts a man out next door in the bootlegging business.
If they repeal Prohibition, it will be mighty hard for a lot of people to quit drinking.
When a man buys a 50 cent meal and a half pint of 50 cent moon, he's generally out of a dollar, although as a rule he gets speedy returns on his investment. They call it "elevator whiskey" because it's always going down and coming up.
Monticello, Ind.—In an effort to terrorize residents of Freeman lake, Negro resort south of this city, at least 350 Ku Klux Klansmen staged an anti-Negro demonstration here Monday night, culminating in the burning of a fiery cross.
When you go out to dinner these days and the hostess says have some corn, you don't know whether to pass your plate or your glass.
Eye witnesses claim that at least two heavy charges of dynamite were exploded by the Klansmen in a field near the resort site known as Resthaven.

Lucius Whitmore, who is absent-minded, learned last night it wasn't his wife he had been going home to every night for a week.
One Resthaven property holder remarked that certain organizations are trying to drive colored people from the face of the earth. The imprintence, he said, springs from the preposterous belief that they own the world in which no one else has a right to lice.

Klansmen Hold Demonstration At Settlement
Try to Scare Residents Of Negro Resort in South Indiana Explode Dynamite, Burn Fiery Cross None Injured; Residents Declare They'll Stay In Resort Town
No one was injured as a result of the demonstration and no property damage resulted, it is said. For several months, protests have been made at intervals by white citizens of the section against the idea of colored people establishing themselves at the resort.
Defense Intended
These people feel that they are not only law-abiding citizens but regular tax-payers and lawful owners of their Resthaven porperty. They say it is their intention to protect their property from which they are not going to budge an inch in spite of the Klan or any other organization of its kind.
In the mean time everything is as quiet as usual at Resthaven, where the citizens are not the least disturbed over the recent fiery cross burning episode.

Fail Again to Get Townsends In Pierson Case; Writ Heard
SCOTTSBURG, Ind. — County Prosecutor Earl Wolfinger, Sheriff C. W. Barnes and James Jones, Scottsburg marshal, have returned home from Nashville, Tenn., after an unsuccessful effort to extradite A.M. Townsend Sr. and A.M. Townsend Jr., indicted here on charges of conspiracy to commit a felony in connection with the murder of Edward D. Pierson, Chicago auditor, last April.
Pierson was auditor for the National Baptist convention which recently ended a stormy session in Chicago.
The Tennessee governor refused the request made by Governor Harry G. Leslie of Indiana for the men's extradition on the grounds that the extradition papers sought them as fugitives from injustice, when it was known they had not been in Indiana and were not fugitives in a legal sense. Extradition will be sought again

Youth Goes Free as Gary Merchant
You might call it a "lucky break" for Dayman Roberts, 18-year-old local boy accused of robbing the Selinger clothing store, 2166 Broadway, last July.
But you would have to admit that it made Joe Birch and Leroy Jackson, friends present at the trial Tuesday in Crown Point, mighty uneasy for a few minutes.
Charles Selinger, white, who claimed that Roberts had robbed him of $60 worth of merchandise, was on the witness stand. He had been asked to identify the bandits and pointed out Roberts.
"Anybody else?" asked Deputy Prosecutor Floyd Draper.
"Sure," said the merchant. "Those two boys helped him." And he pointed out Joe and Leroy.
Judge Martin Smith ordered the pair of youths brought before the bar. Cross-questioning, however, did not shake Selinger's convictions.
But there was not sufficient evidence to hold Birch and Jackson. Judge Smith looked askance at the whole thing. "Not guilty" he said, and Roberts joined his friends.

Evangelist in War on Liquor At First Meet
'Black Billy Sunday' Is Creating Sensation With Sermons
"I am dry—as dry as the Sahara desert, but our present day prohibition laws will not prohibit until people become educated through the power of the gospel. Why, this stuff they are drinking now would make a mouse shake his fist in a tom-cat's face."
In such a fashion did Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, nationally known as the "Black Billy Sunday," introduce himself to Gary folk in the first of his series of revival meetings now being held at the Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A.
Drawing Crowds
Dr. McPherson is drawing large crowds to each daily meeting at the "Y." Apparently none the worse for his strenuous services held at New Orleans, the evangelist thrills his crowd by displays of oratory.
Last Sunday he gave his famous sermon, "The World Is in Er Helluva Fix," and began next day conducting special healing and prayer services at noon to which he has invited everyone.
Next Sunday morning Dr. McPherson will deliver the sermon called "The Divine Touch, or, On the Mount of Transfiguration." It will take place at Grace Presbyterian church and a special chorus under the direction of Ariel Lovelace will furnish the music.
Coming back to the "Y" in the afternoon, the evangelist will speak from the subject, "Some Things a Woman Should Know." No girl under 14 years of age will be admitted. That night his sermon will be "As the Eagle Stirreth Her Nest."
it was said.
An effort to obtain the release on bond of George Washington, Indianapolis, in jail here, charged with the murder of Edward D. Pierson, will be made through a writ of habeas corpus filed by Washington's attorneys, Mace & Cameron, and will be heard by Judge John R. Carney, holding court here at 9:30 a. m. Friday.
Washington, arrested in Indianapolis, June 15, on a warrant issued here following the filing of an affidavit by E. D. Pierson Jr., son of the slain man, was subsequently indicted by the Scott county grand jury. He was not arraigned in court at the June term on this charge or on a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony, growing out of the murder for which he was indicted jointly with the Rev. B. F. Westbrook of Indianapolis, and A. M. Townsend Sr. and A. M. Townsend Jr., both of Nashville.

Move Rapists From Gary to Crown Point
Re-arrested by Sheriff To Thwart Attempts At Their Release
Believing that there was a movement on foot to bring about their release, Mrs. Mattie Green, through her attorney, Claudius Carroll, had the two men charged with criminally assaulting her last week rearrested by deputies from Sheriff Kyle's office and sent to Crown Point.
When the case came up Tuesday morning in city court after being continued a week, it was dismissed due to the changing of the prisoners.
The two men, James Smith, 29, 3884 Pennsylvania street, Indiana Harbor, and George Duckas, 38, 1304 West 13th avenue, both white, are charged with rape and the theft of a purse containing a small amount of cash.
Dragged a Block
Mrs. Green, a grandmother, was dragged a block by the two men as she was walking alone near her home at 2461 Jefferson street a week ago SSunday night. Taken to a dark neighborhood, she was criminally assaulted by both men who then released her with her clothes almost completely torn from her body. Her screams attracted Officers J. G. Stone and Samuel Smith, who arrested the men on the same spot where the crime was committed. Her purse was found lying on the ground a few feet away.
Date for the trial has not been set. It is believed that Duckas, a one legged man, will attempt to use his infirmity in an appeal for sympathy.

Claim Bolden Made Pair Confess Theft Handcuffed to Tree and Flogged, Is Charge
Claims that a confession of burglary obtained from them was made only because of a beating given by Detective John Bolden were made in city court before Judge Herman Key Monday morning by Fred Jones and Robert Kennedy. They said that Bolden handcuffed them to a tree and then proceeded to beat them until they agreed to sign a confession admitting breaking in and robbing a Broadway hardware store. Bolden denied their charges, asserting he had found them in an alley near 19th avenue with incriminating evidence in their possession.
Although the two men entered a plea of not guilty, they were held to the Lake criminal court in bonds of $5,000 each.
Friends Argue; One in Hospital; One Hunted
Mattie Boyd, address unknown, is being sought by the police because she seriously slashed the face of her friend, Alta Swanson, 1783 Washington, last Monday morning. Alta is in St. John hospital, where her condition is reported to be serious, but not critical. According to the statement of the injured woman, Mattie came to visit her early Monday morning. A quarrel ensued over a trivial matter. Mattie suddenly produced a razor from some place and began to slash Alta about the face and neck. Alta called for assistance. Before assistance came, Mattie ran out of the house and escaped. Alta was taken to St. John hospital.

RETURNS FROM
WESTERN VACATION TIMES
Mrs. Anna Sharp Johnston, one of Gary's best loved pioneer teachers and society matrons, has returned from an extensive trip through the west and along the Pacific coast. Mrs. Johnston spent two months in sight-seeing out there where the skies are a trifle bluer, made many warm friends out there where friendships are a little truer; enjoyed a much needed rest out there where there's more of singing and less of sighing, and brought back some lovely gifts from out there where there is more of giving and less of buying. She is at her post of duty in East Pulaski school.

Memphis Boy Runaway Sought in Gary
Bellied to be on his way to Gary, after running away from his home in Memphis, Will Thomas, 17 years old, is being sought by the local police department. Requests asking the police of this city to be on watch for Thomas were received from the chief of police in Memphis, and also from the boy's guardian, Dave Sommers. Young Thomas was last seen at his home on September 3. Because of a previously expressed desire of wanting to come to Gary, and also because of being physically able to secure work in the mills, (Thomas being extraordinarily oversize for a 17 year old boy), he is thought to be somewhere in the Calumet district, seeking work in the mills.

Charges False Affidavit Sworn in Securing Court Garnishee
Charging them with fraudulently securing judgment against him, jeopardizing his position of employment, and humiliating him with illegal court procedure, James D. Allen, 2608 Grant street, has filed suit against the People's Credit Clothing company, 671 Broadway. He asks, through his attorney, Adelbert S. Moore, damages to the extent of $3,700. In his bill of complaint against the clothing company, Allen charges that, without his knowledge, suit was filed and judgment granted, in Justice of Peace Clemons' court, to the amount of $22.50, although he had never made a purchase of merchandise from the company.
Wages Attached
According to Allen, his first intimation that a suit was filed against him was when his foreman at the Illinois Steel company notified him that ten per cent would be deducted from his pay check in order to satisfy the claims of the clothing company. When he refused to accept the ten per cent discount, asking an explanation, his foreman refused to give him any part of the check. It was then that Allen learned of the judgment granted against him in Justice Clemons' court.
Fles Damage Suit
Allen set forth in his allegations that he had been employed in the Illinois Steel company for 20 years, and during that time had never been delinquent with any of his bills. Because of this, he charged that the court judgment against him, inasmuch as it was against the wrong person, jeopardized his position, impaired his credit and hurried him in the esteem of his friends.
Child Plays in Alley; Hit by Truck
Thelma Byers, 3 years old, 1830 Adams street, was taken to St. Antonio hospital Wednesday morning after being struck by a truck driven by Henry Miner, 22 E. 16th avenue. The truck was owned by the Ace Cleaners and Dyers, 1930 Broadway. According to the statement of Miner, he was driving south in the alley between Adams and Jefferson between 18th and 19th avenues, when the Byers child ran in front of his car. She and a group of children were playing in the alley.
Miner immediately took her to the hospital, where her condition was reported by the hospital attendants as not being serious. She suffered only a minor head injury. Miner was not held by the police.
By Florida J. Lecke
School days are here again and once more our interests turn to this phase of the city's life.
The legend of a reluctance on the part of youth to give up vacation joys in answer to the clang of the school bell no longer exists. The bells have disappeared and, we fancy, much of the reluctance has gone with them. Modern education is surrounded by so many attractions the opening of school now brings new joy.
Each year also brings new recruits to the ranks of Gary teachers. Those making their initial bow here in 1930 are:
Miss Mable Mauldin, graduate of the physical education department of Terre Haute Normal, who takes up work in that division at East Pulaski. Miss Mauldin is a Gary girl.
Miss Nannle B. Edwards, who hails from Danville in the neighboring state of Illinois. Miss Edwards is a 1930 graduate of Illinois Normal college and will assist Miss Grayce Nicholas at East Pulaski in giving kindergartners their start on the road to education.

Who Told Cops To Keep Park From Negroes?
Board Members, Supt. 'Out' or Refuse to
Nobody seems to be really responsible for the order given Sergeant Jungheim and relayed to Patrolman Otto Ebert and three Washington park employees to keep Negroes from going there.
A member of the park board who could be reached refused to talk.
An attempt was made by telephone to reach Frank Borman, park board member and garage owner here. He was called to the telephone. Asked if he was the park commissioner, he said he was. But when asked about the jim crow order, the voice on the other end of the line replied:
"Oh, you want my brother. He's out of town."
Other members of the board, Gleuck and Gleason, and Superintendent Degan, could not be located.

However, judging from statements purported to be made when the case was first aired, it is believed that park board members would "pass the buck" to the local police department. Board members have claimed that police act under orders of the local chiefs, and heads of the police department claim that they have no jurisdiction over men assigned to Gary parks. Sergeant Jungheim, questioned, refused to reveal who gave him the orders to keep Washington park white.

Malpractice Suit Filed by Negro Woman Who Sustained Bruise
Joseph Goldstone, physician and surgeon, living at the Hotel Gary, and maintaining offices at 1606 Broadway, was made defendant in a suit filed in Superior court last Monday by Attorney Adelbert S. Moore in behalf of Mrs. Eliza Brown, 1750 Adams street. She charges malpractice on the part of Dr. Goldstone in the treatment of a slight bruise, and asks damages to the extent of $5,900. According to Mrs. Brown, she fell and injured her arm on or about the 31st of July. She was treated at that time by her family physician, Dr. Lucretia Carter, and filed her claim for compensation for the injury against the United States Mutual insurance company.
Forced to Change Doctors Because of orders issued by the insurance company to the effect that she would not receive her money unless treated by the company doctor, Mrs. Brown was forced to transfer the case from Dr. Carter to Dr. Goldstone. According to Mrs. Brown's allegations, at the time the change of doctors was made her bruised arm was responding favorably to treatment. According to a statement of the plaintiff, Dr. Goldstone used electrical treatments on her arm at her first visit, thereby causing undue pain. It is also charged that the intensity of the electrical current blistered her arm, necessitating extra treatments to relieve the pain of the burns.
Malicious Malpractice Charged Mrs.. Brown charges Dr. Goldstone with malicious malpractice, beginning with her first visit. But because of orders of the insurance company she continued to receive treatments. When her arm continued to swell from the electrical blisters she was forced to get a leave of absence from her place of employment because of the pain. She is now being treated by another physician.
Eight More Names Of Lynchers Sent
NEW YORK CITY,—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People both through its national office and its Indiana branches is pushing the cases against the lynchers of two colored boys in Marion, on August 7.
The association has forwarded to James M. Ogden, Indiana attorney general, eight additional names of persons reported by eye-witnesses as having been seen participating in the activities of the lynching mob, bringing the total number of such names submitted to 27.
Mr. Ogden has informed the N. A. A. C. P. that he was having two representatives to attend the sessions of the grand jury inquiring into the lynching.
Following the presentation of a petition to Governor Harry G. Leslie, of Indiana, urging dismissal of Jacob Campbell the sheriff of Grant County, who let his prisoners be taken from the jail, Attorney R. L. Bailey, of the Indianapolis branch of the N. A. A. C. P., reports a flood of editorial comment and articles on lynching, and the conduct of the sheriff and the prosecutor which, in Mr. Bailey's opinion, have had a wholesome effect upon the local public opinion.

Parents May
Be Cause Of
Child Anger
Doctor Explains How to
Cure Child Victims of
‘Temper Tantrums’
“Temper tantrums” may be du¢
to many diseases. The parent whc
finds a child going into a sudden
rage when his will is obstructed
should first look to his own con:
duct in the household and be sure
the child is not copying his fath.
er’s or mother’s behavior, before
going elsewhere for advice.
Where the atmosphere at home
is calm and placid, and especially
when fits of anger in children are
ignored as much as possible, there
is little likelihood of emotional ex.
Plosions. The worst thing to dc
during thesse spells is to give in
to what the child wants. It is far
better policy to let him discover
that anger is a non-producer.
Need Sleep, Action
But sometimes lack of sleep and
over-excitement leads to a nervous
condition which is not mere imita-
tion of elders. Normal children
need outlets for surplus energy,
and should be active, impulsive and
inquisitive. It is only when nat.
ural eagerness and enthusiasm be-
comes irritation and emotional dis-
turbance that we have what is
coming widely to be known as a
“problem. child.”
One of the subtlest and most
dangerous causes of abnormal
mental condition is what is called
a defense reacttion or compensa-
tion. :
Describes Conditions
Dr. E. A. White describes this
as follows: “The child who is per-
sistently undervalued, whose opin-
ions, remarks and queries are al-
ways laughed at, whose efforts are
invariably criticized for their short-
comings, rather than praised for
what’ they accomplish—all these
serve to rob the child of any ba-
sis for self-confidence, of any feel-
ing of self-respect........ Almost
every neurotic has this feeling, a
deep sense of inadequacy, which is
developed beyond the warrant of
the facts and leads to self-depreci-
ation which is in reality an under-
valuation which may be sufficient
to paralyze all effort.”
Parents who are continually say-
ing, “I con't do this with John,”
might try doing nothing with him,
and see how it works. Often he
can make up his mind and form
right choices withou having con-
stant direction from his parents,
and the conclusions he forms him-
self are more likely to result in
action than the precept jammed
down his throat by well meaning
but officious relatives.

in magnificient technicolor, bring-

Included in the cast’ of “Follow
Thru" are Zelma O'Neill, Jack Ha-

Labor Dispute
Claim geciite Firm Is
Using Slave Labor in
Building of Dam
__ Washington. — Neutrality of the
United States in a recent contro-
versy in Abyssinia, the use of slave
labor in the construction of a dam
by an American engineering firm
was expressed by officials of the
state department. The present sta-
tus of the United States was ex-
plained after many protests were
received at the state department
concerning the plans as outlined by
the engineers in charge of the con-
struction.
J. G. White Company, New York,
the American firm granted the
eonstraction contract, has assured
‘the state department that it does
not plan to use forced labor in the
Blue Nile dam and irrigation proj-
ect, but should circumstances com-
‘pel the firm to use forced labor,
when the construction of the proj-
ect begins, the company would do
so. The state department also an-
nounced that it would not inter-
fere with the latter plans of the
construction company.
While the United States is a par-
ty to the Geneva anti-slavery con-
vention which has as its aim the
abolition of forced labor of all
kinds, it is held here there is noth-
‘ing in this treaty requiring the
United States to take action
against American firms operating
on foreign soil and believed to be
violating the spirit of the Geneva
agreement.

DePriest Advises [Petition to Ret:

Flocks Against It Being Replaced
Cleveland.-A plea that preachers
do their utmost to discourage Ne-
groes in listening to Communist
propaganda was made by Congress-
‘man Oscar DePriest| Thursday
night speaking before 1,000 dele-
gates to the national convention of
Congregational aand Christian
Workers Among Colored People.
_ “The intelligent use of the ballot
by the Negro in America will do
the Negro more good than any
amount of Communist propaganda,”
he declared.
When asked about the filling of
vacancies in the West Point Mili-
tary academy, DePriest said:
“There are no vacancies now that
I can fill. Both will be filled with
Negro boys. I shall keep on ap-
pointing Negro boys to West Point.
If they are not fit physically or
cannot pass examinations, I will
try again until the proper ones will
stay. If none can stay, I will not
be ashamed of that. I tried my
best,” he said.

Petition to Retain
Negroes as Seamen
Black U. S. Sailors Are
Being Replaced
Washington, D. C.—Retention of
a representative quota of Negro
sailors in the United States navy
was urged in a petition presented
to the National convention of Span
ish-American war veterans held
last week in Philadelphia.
The petition was prepared by W.
H. Coston of this city, chaplain for
the Department of the Potomac,
Veterans of the Spanish-American
War, the Philippine Insurrection,
and the Chinese Relief Expedition.
It is averred in the petition that
there is a movement on to elim-
‘nate colored men from the naval
service. The United States naval
service has shown an accord with
the movement, the petition held, in-
asmuch as the alleged gradual elim-
ination of Negroes from the service
has taken place with their knowl-
edge.

Bigger and Better Atrocities
UR own state of Indiana seems bent on showing the
backward South the proper way to mistreat the Negro
population. When the zooming North tackles a propo-
, it is generally successful. Examples to which ambi-
Indianans can point with pride:
Two Negroes lynched at Marion.
A Negro college professor beaten ue by a white bus
driver for failure to change seats, in the presence of a
constable, at Knightstown.
Burning of a fiery cross and explosion of dynamite
Klansmen in an attempt to scare Negro residents
m a settlement near Indianapolis.
Rape of a Negro grandmother in Gary by two Cau-
casians and near failure of the daily paper to mention it.
Arrest of a Negro youth on trumped-up charges an}
‘other manoeuvers to keep Negroes from using Wash-
ington park here.
Indiana has long been known as the roosting place of the
Klux Klan and as a hothed of racial intolerance. There
to be little attempt made to change the state’s rep-
tion. Hoosiers, unlike most Northerners, easily get
on Negro hate, then reel and rock with only the
ght of venting their spleen on a black man’s head. That
y_too often succeed is a matter of history.
if Indianans behave the rest of the year as they have
ing the past few weeks, there is grave danger that Dixie
tuck its head between its tail and steal silently away.
State seems to be out for a record and will stand for no
petition, not even by title-holders.
While other Northern states are hunting a place in the
of progress, Hoosiers are secking a choice location near
stagnant pool of bigotry and hatred. And to the rous-
tune of Bigger and Better Atrocities, the state tramps
Economies Versus Hatred
TLANTA, famed for its monstrosities, was the birth-
place of another when the Black Shirts sprang into
being. Unlike the others, in its infancy, this newest
ing has been set upon by press and public and bids fair
die under the avalanche of blows rained on its misshapen
jum.
This body was created to wrest away the black men’s
bs and hand them to whites hard hit by unemployment.
ixie objected: the South would rather see idle Caucasians
loafing Aframericans. As the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
ut it, “The South has been trying to get the Negro to work
years, and now that it has done so, along comes a group
men and tries to get them fired.”
It is quite evident that the reason for southern objection
the policies of the Black Shirts is purely economical.
k labor is cheaper and easier to handle. Without work,
Negro may drift North as have thousands of his race.
this the South is bitterly opposed.
So when the South raises a hue and cry over an injustice
the Negro, look behind at the economics of the project.
ie may want Caucasian superiority and Negro subjection,
it if it means injury to the section’s pocketbook, it will
be the first to block organizations fostering such
jects.
