Fields | Explains Why Indicted Man Is Kept on Job Scoffs at Pierson Slaying Connection Tells Why Washington Was Hired; Townsend, Pierson, ‘Friends’ NASHVILLE, Tenn.—(ANP)—It is altogether improbable that Dr. A. M. Townsend Sr. secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention and indicted in connection with the murder of E. D. Pierson Sr., audi- tor for the board, had anything whatever to do with that hideous crime, according to a statement just issued by the Rev. J. C. Fields, chairman of the Sunday School Publishing board. The statement was approved by the board. The statement of Rev. Fields is apparently prompted by the feeling in some quarters that Dr. Town- send, after he was indicted, should have been relieved of his duties as @ responsible leader in a religious organization. The Rev. Mr. Fields explains why the board has seen fit to keep Dr. Townsend on the job and expresses appreciation for the fine support which the Sunday school membership has given by continuing and increasing their consumption of literature. Basis for Defense Rev. Fields’ defense is based on the sterling character of Dr. Town- send’s father, the significant work which Dr. Townsend himself has done, and what he considers the flimsy connection between Dr. Townsend and George” Washing- ton, who has also been indicted for the murder, and is alleged to be the man who committed the deed. For more than forty years Dr. Townsend's father was the pastor of one church and for fifty years he was the principal of the same public school, states Rev. Fields, adding that his life was without a blemish, and that “the righteous life of Dr. Townsend's father is en- titled to yield something to the son,” which Rev. Fields concludes is “the presumption that he is in- nocent.” “In the home of Dr. Townsend as a boy,” continues Rev. Fields, “there was daily reading of the Bible, and family prayer.

P.’s May Slip Over To Democrats Observers See Spectre Of Alliance Similar | To That of 1921 Fifield Big Cause Of Dissatisfaction Democrat Slate Helped By Curtis, Known to Be Capable Man Cyril Arlineton Possibility of an alliance between Negro republicans in Lake county and white democrats loomed up thie week as the present political cam- paign passed into its final stage. That the spectre of the 1921 co- alition of Negro “regulars” and white democrats may rear its head in the present campaign is the opin- ion of political observers. Then it was that the alliance between the republicans in the Negro race and the democrats in the white race brought about a serious defection in the republican party strength and came near resulting in the defeat of a G. O. P. candidate. The republican ticket this year carries the names of one or two men whose candidacy is not only not looked upon with much favor by Negro voters, but is actually frowned upon, observers point out. Demo Ticket Analyzed With this situation confronting the republicans, the democrats are fortunate in having on their ticket the names of one or two candidates who appeal to a majority of colored voters. As in 1921, the Jemocratic ticket carries the candidacy of Harvey J. Curtis as a candidate for judge of the appellate court. Curtis, recog- nized as a clean politician and an able lawyer, was candidate for may- or nine years aga He received 4 substantial vote from South Side voters and carried two of the three nominally republican wards in Gary's black belt. His position on the ticket this year is expected to add muen strength to the democratic forces and enhance their chances of roll- ing up a big vote in the election a fortnight away. As a contrast the republican tick- et is carrying the name of Otto Fifield as a candidate for secretary of state. Fifield has held the office for two years, wielding more power, observers say, and capable of grant: ing more patronage than Governor Leslie himself; and yet has failed to recognize his Negro constituents in the way of either favors or pat- ronage. Resent Indifference This indifference, observers de- clare, has caused Negro voters to become disgruntled. “Why go any further with Otto Fifield since he has been tried for twelve years and has done nothing for us?” one Gary politician, long a republican adher- ent, asks. A careful survey by impartial ob- servers of the sentiment of Negro voters in Muncie, Kokomo, Evans- ville, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and South Bend indi- cates that the feeling toward the young secretary of state from Crown Point is about the same. Fifield has his eyes set upon climbing into the governor's chair. If re-elected, his path to the office will be clear and unobstructed, but his standing with colored voters may react to hurt the candidacy of Will R. Wood, candidate for con- gress, and other worthy republican office-scekers in the coming elec- tion. Spouting Gas Leads to Oil Boom on Dixie Farm REIDSVILLE, N. C—A _minia- ture oil boom started in Caswell county when a well that spouts gas- oline was discovered on the farm of a Negro, Lonnie Burwell. Scores of witnesses have testified the well produces genuine gasoline. Burwell has filled the tank of his automobile with it. several times. The well yeilds from four to eight gallons daily. Discovery of Burwell's well led many of his neighbors to investl- gate their own lands for signs of liquid gold. Burwell formerly operated a fill- ing station near his home. Investi- gation revealed no leak in the large station gasoline tank. bi Bacoyn Sues Safety ~ Board for Back Salary Suit for $400 back wages was in- stituted in superior court against the safety board this week by Ed- ward McKinley Bacoyn, local law- yer who was suspended from police duty when Inspector Albert Woods came here a few months ago, and who was ousted on October 7.

Darrow’s Atheism Doubted by Pastor: BALTIMORE. — Declaring that “Clarence Darrow is a good law yer, but all false,” the Rev. C. Y Trigg, pastor of the Metropolitar M.

E, ministers’ conference last week He added, “the sad part of the whole affair is that a few half ‘cooked Negroes are impressed bj what he says.” |_.The statement of the Rev. Mr Trigg followed a discussion that grew out of reference to a state: ment made by Mr. Darrow, whicl said that the world would be better off without any kind of religion, anc that few people believed in life be yond the grave, for if they did ‘they would not be constantly in peprek of means to prolong life That Mr. Darow uses his claim to atheism merely as a publicity stunt ‘was the consensus of opinion of ‘several of the speakers, including the Rev. M. J. Naylor. The Rev. J. W. Warren, pastor of ‘Furnace Branch. church, disagreed with his colleagues. He stated that as far as he could see, Darrow was right about the lack of need for re- ligion. The Rev, Mr. Warren said he had never had any prof of a hereafter, and that the only life he was sure of or knew anything about was the present.

Young Jiberators Organized in Gary Labor Congress Branch To Fight for Class Organization of Young Liberators, a branch of the American Negro Labor congress, was undertaken at a mass meeting Thursday night held at 15 West 23rd street by Miss Stella Chapa, white, Charles Strick- land and Oris Thomas. The purpose of this organization, according to those at its head, is to combine the young workers of both races in a fight against class discriminations and practices as well as racial prejudice which, they say, is fostered by business leaders to keep the Negro and white labor- ers separated. In order to break down discrim- ination, members plan to establish pickets in front of those discrim- inatory places and to carry on a consistent fight against such prac- tices. A heated tirade was launched by Thomas Strickland and Miss Chapa against F. W. McFarlane, principal of Roosevelt high school. They charged him with “selling his soul for a dime” and “feathering his nest at the expense of the Negroes of Gary.” Out of Work, Man Gets Job; Dies Soon After INDIANAPOLIS, C. W.

The man picked up the shovel and descended into the ditch, and in a few moments dirt was being tossed to the street level. Floyd went to his house but returned about 2 p. m. to see how the colored man was progressing. He found the man slumped in the bottom of the ditch.

The Tigers have been undefeated this season, piling up a total of 147 points to her opponents’ 12. She has met two strong elevens, Wiley and Talladega, and took them both in tow on successive Saturdays to the tune of 26-0 and 40-6. The Ohio Bulldogs, who have tied one and lost one in the two pre- vious battles, may do the unex- pected and turn back the powerful horde from Dixie. The sting of a 12-6 surprise defeat administered last week by Bulldogs of another type from Fisk may cause the Tus- kegee lads to be overconfident and the Wilberforce boys to fight just that much harder for victory. i Henderson Admitted to Supreme Court Practice WASHINGTON, D.

W. McFarlane’s speeches before three white organ- izations here, it was stated Thurs- day by Justice of the Peace William Burrus, local Elk official. This week also the Citizens De- fense council presented a resolution to Mr. McFarlane and to the local school board asking his removal. Elks Go Slow The Elks plan to investigate the matter fully before they come to a decision. They point out the prin- cipal’s record as an educator and the fact that he has aided commun- ity enterprises as justification for their thorough investigation. Just what action they plan to take at the conclusion of their investiga- tion was not revealed. The Resolution The resolution, presented person- ally to Mr. McFarlane and mailed to school officials, charges that Mc- Farlane’s speeches “are un-Ameri- can and ill-founded and the same have been calculated by prejudice and designing persons who have and are now seeking to use the said McFarlane's ability and position to create a different status among Ne- gro citizens on the basis of race and color.” Several hundred south side citi- zens are claimed as members by the Citizens Defense council. The Rev. A. R. McLaughlin is president, William Jackson, vice-president, and the Rev. C. R. Arlinson, secre- tary. The resolution was drawn up by Edward McKinley Bacoyn, at- torney. Other Elk Activities Other leading Elk activities plan- ned immediately consist of a free dinner to the unemployed at the Elks rest three days a week. The first of these will be on Monday from two until four o’clock in the afternoon and others will be held each Wednesday and Saturday thereafter at the same hours, There will be sufficient food te care for at least 100 people. Mr. Burrus, in making this an- nouncement, said that the Elks be- lieved that the Negro should not wait for the whites to aid the needy when they themselves are in a po- sition to do so, He also expressed the hope that other groups would fall in line and serve food on some of the other days. Boy, 9, Is Kidnaped _ And Held as Slave Escapes from Miami and Tries to Get Home JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—A story of being kidnaped by a white man in Savannah and taken to Miami where he was made to work and was guarded like a slave was told local authorities this week about Brant Stokes, 9, of Savannah, Ga. After being held in Miami, the boy saw his chance one day and slipped awey, begging rides until he reached Jacksonville. He ap- peared here and this week was trying to find the road which leads to Savannah. He asked Mrs. George Bell to aid him and she, by questioning, learned his story. He told the local woman where his mother lived and she wrote to the address given. Mrs. Stokes wrote back that she was in the hospital caused by worry over her child. Miami authorities were no- tifled but no word has come of the address of the white man who kid- naped the boy. DePriest Takes Stump For Mrs. MeCormick EAST ST.

The gath- ering was composed largely of Ne- groes. DePriest told them that if they voted the democratic ticket they would Jose the franchise in the north, “as they have in some sections of the south.” PAGE TWO Baptist Head Seeks to Aid Townsend, Sr. Rev. Fields Explains Why Indicted Man Is Kept on Job (Continued from Page 1) Sunday came he was taken to Sunday school. After being taught in Sunday school he would stay to the church service to receive the gospel of Christ from the preaching angle. On Monday morning he would enter school." Called "Brilliant" Dr. Townsend's record in literary and medical schools is described as brilliant by Dr. Fields. After graduation he became a teacher in the medical school, later president of the college where he received his literary training, was then cashier of a bank, pastor of a church, secretary of a Baptist State convention, and the custodian of large funds of fraternal organizations. Townsend is also credited with having raised the first $30,000 with which to promote the building of the publishing house. In the midst of his hard and fruitful work for the publishing board, avers Dr. Fields, Dr. Townsend was fired upon three times by a would-be assassin, one of the bullets striking him in the foot. Dr. Townsend is said to have become much concerned about the matter, wondering who the person seeking his life might be and if they might try again. While he was thus troubled, he received a letter from the Rev. Dr. B. J. F. Westbrook of Indianapolis, director of the evangelistic work of the church and a staunch friend of the president of the convention, Dr. L. K. Williams, and the murdered auditor, Pierson. In his letter to Townsend, according to Rev. Fields, Rev. Westbrook told of the skill of a Negro detective in Indianapolis and urged that Townsend employ this man to find the man who had failed to kill him. No more than the actual expenses of the investigation would be charged, wrote Westbrook. Trusts Westbrook "Eager to know his would-be assassin, and having great faith in the character and judgment of Dr. Westbrook," states Dr. Fields, "Dr. Townsend employed the detective hoping that he might succeed where white detectives had failed. The expense account of the detective was rendered as $110, for which a check was given. This check was endorsed by Rev. Westbrook. "It has been used to link the name of Dr. Townsend with serious charges against the man to whom the check was given. And that is all that anyone has with which to cast a shadow over the name of an honored physician; a former teacher in a medical college from which he graduated; a former president of a college from which he was graduated; a former pastor of a church, and the moving spirit behind the construction of the greatest publishing house building ever owned by the Negro race." The Negro detective referred to by Rev. Fields is George Washington, now free on bonds, after indictment for the murder of Pierson. Cites Visit Mrs. Pierson, wife of the murdered auditor, swore from the witness stand in Scottsburg, Indiana, where the crime was committed, that Washington, using a fictitious name, had visited her husband in Chicago three weeks before the killing and sought to induce him to leave the city with him on the night of March 27. This fact would seem to indicate that Rev. Westbrook was unaware of the dubious nature of some of the work of Washington when he made the recommendation to Dr. Townsend," and also that Washington had some unknown motive in visiting the Pierson home under the name of Morehead, and discussing a fake enterprise with Pierson. Rev. Fields further concludes that Dr. Townsend would have had no interest in the destruction of either Pierson or Dr. Williams. SPECIAL'S Men's Wool Socks Guaranteed 50c value.

JAKE'S ARMY STORE 2152 BROADWAY Black Shirts Refused A Charter in Georgia ATLANTA. — The American Facisti Order of Black Shirts, which petitioned for incorporation in Georgia and listed among its purposes the promotion of "white supremacy," was denied a charter in Fulton county Superior court Saturday by Judge G. H. Howard, who said that some members apparently misunderstood the term "white supremacy" and sought a charter "authorizing both legal and illegal acts." The Black Shirts, chartered at Orlando, Fla., and which interfered in Fulton county to oppose the charter for the Georgia order, was enjoined in Fulton county. Evidence showed that several Atlanta firms had been confronted with demands from the black shirts to discharge Negro laborers and put white men in their places. Chicago Ponders Where to Put Cash CHICAGO. — The question of "where shall I put my money" is confronting those southside citizens who are fortunate enough to possess any. The question has arisen because of the closing of three white banks and one Negro bank in the southside district during the month of August. One Negro institution and three whites were able to withstand the financial crisis. Negro wage earners are faced with the question: Shall I place my little savings in Negro hands that may make mistakes, but can learn better, or shall I entrust them to Caucasian hands which know better, but are brazen enough to take a gambler's chance with my life's savings? Mose Negro business men in the city feel that the confidence of the Negro in his financial institutions ought not to be impaired by what has happened to the Binga bank. They point with pride to the Douglass National bank and to the reopening of the Binga bank, and regard sadly the twp white institutions which seem to have been wrecked beyond repair. Cecil B. DeMille Makes Talking Picture Hit Cecil B. DeMille claims another supreme victory in his career as director in his work in "Madam Satan," now playing at the McVickers Theater. Mr. DeMille's name is attached to such huge successes as "The King of Kings," "The Ten Commandments," and "Male and Female." In each of these huge dramas, Mr. DeMille has proven his skill and tact. The selection of proper characters for the producing of "Madam Satan" for the talking screen was the most difficult obstacle. It was necessary for each character to live the life of their role. The story calls for excellent characterizations as the dramatic sequences are superb. The cast includes Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Lillian Roth, Ooland Young, Elsa Peterson, and a huge cast of screen celebrities. The syncopation and jazz in "Madam Satan" is the work of Abe Lyman and his versatile orchestra. The story of "Madam Satan" was written expressly for the talking screen. Townsend expected to retire as soon as the publishing house was firmly established, declares Rev. Fields, who also asserts that Townsend was friendly with and fond of both Williams and Pierson, the only difference with the latter being over methods. Mrs. Pierson stated from the witness stand that her husband and Townsend had been coldly unfriendly for two years prior to the murder.

The Coptic archbishop and the bishop will pronounce a Te Deum in the "Geez" language, which is the ancient ecclesiastical tongue of Abyssinia. The crowns this week reposed on a high altar in the church, the six bishops praying over them for 21 days before the coronation. The precious stones and gold with which they are set were purchased in Europe and made by master goldsmiths of the country at a cost of $1,000,000. The king of kings will ride in state from his palace to the church in an imperial coach formerly used by Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and purchased by Abyssinia for $6,000. The coach will be drawn by splendid horses imported from Hungary, driven by the former coachman of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. Addis Abeba, the country's capital, perched at an altitude of 2 miles above sea level, has undergone a complete refitting within the past month. Thousands of cases of foodstuffs, wines, furniture, carpets and other material for the emperor and his guests have recently been brought in from Europe. The government has commandered all the automobiles, trucks and carriages in the city and taken over the hotels. For three months officials have been working day and night to give the capital a gala dress for the enthronement of the oldest dynasty in the world. The Abyssinians were converted to Christianity in the fourth century and have kept up their connection with the Alexandrian Church through their Abuna, or chief bishop, who is always a Copt and is appointed by the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria. Roseland, N. J., has no jail. When Sam Marucci, wanted in Orange, N.

Calling the fight against the confirmation of Judge Parker to the Supreme Court, "one of the most useful incidents which has ever occurred to give the American Negro a consciousness of his voting power," Mr. Bryan adds: "I am all for a vigorous revolt on the part of the Negro against the status quo. I do not have to repeat that in saying 'revolt' I do not mean armed warfare. There are things so much more powerful than bayonets and gunpowder. "An idea can blow up heavier armor than any bullet can pierce. I mean it is a mistake for the Negro to submit tamely and wait for a heaven beyond the clouds.

"And when we socialists speak of Brotherhood, we mean it in the fullest sense of the word. I know that I do." Mr. Brown in his article charges the republican party with offering the Negro "very little save a rew scraps of Federal patronage," and says of Governor Smith that his timidity in the face of the solid South cost him Negro votes he might have had. "The easiest and most direct way for the Negro to express his protest against existing political conditions," says Mr. Broun, "is to throw in his lot with the minority party." STATE OF INDIANA W. E.

The hope that Bishop Barrow might preside at Sunday service at his church, 495 Clason avenue, Brooklyn, was not realized, nor were private detectives employed by Mrs. Ruth Barrow in the search more successful. Often Absent Protracted absence on the part of her husband is the rule and not the exception, Mrs. Barrow said in explanation of her fears that no financial aid will be forthcoming during his trip abroad. He has not contributed to the support of the four other children under her mother's care in Barbados, where they were married sixteen years ago, she told the officials. Nor in the eight years since she came to live in Brooklyn has the family often been a domestic unit, according to her stroy. Mrs. Barrow couldn't remember when she had last seen the bishop. About a year ago, she thought, but the reports that have come to her in theinterim indicated that he lives in comfortable circumstances. About a year ago, the court heard a similar charge from the pair. On that occasion, the case was settled out of court by an agreement that she was to receive $15 weekly.

C.—More than 1,000,000 Negroes have migrated from the the South since the world war ended. Negroes in the South are being driven out of old-time jobs by white labor, while in the North Mexican laborers are taking newly obtained jobs. This information was contained in the report submitted here Monday by a commission President Hoover appointed to investigate the economic status of the American Negro. Improved facilities along educational and industrial lines was recommended. The commission's report, based on a survey by Dr. T. J. Woofter Jr., of the University of North Carolina, and financed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, found the main factor to be considered was the rapidly increasing population, both Negro and white, of the Southern part of the country. Calling attention to the "great reservoir of labor" on Southern farms, the report said "approximately 80,000 more Negroes and white people are born each year than the number who die." Excess Goes to Cities "The increase is taking place in a region which under the present system of agriculture, will not adequately support those now living there, so that the excess is drained off to the cities," the report added. The committee concluded that Negroes properly equipped for farming would stay on the land and advised that Negro agricultural education be stimulated, that extension work among Negro farmers with Negro agents be begun, that cooperative marketing and credit institutions be favored, and that efforts be made "to widen land ownership by Negroes." Discussing the industrial migration, the report said that the 1930 census would show more than one-third of the Negro population would be found in cities, both North and South. Negroes in Unions Urged The committee recommended strengthening of facilities for industrial education of Negroes, Negro membership in labor unions and special consideration for their needs in employment bureau establishment and continuing research by public and private bodies into the problems of Negroes. Members of the committee signing the unanimous report were Secretaries Lamont and Hyde, Julius Barnes, Homer L. Ferguson, William Green, T. Arnold Hill, Benjamin F. Hubert, Robert R. Moten, R. B. Pegram and Julius Rosenwald. NYE IS TOLD DEMOCRATS VOTED NEGROES NASHVILLE.—Dr. John R. Neal of Knoxville, defeated by Sen. William E.

Smith Saturday by Judge Conway. Smith tried to commit suicide in 1912. At that time it was considered a felony. On July 6 he stole $20 worth of drugs and was convicted. A jury was asked to pass on whether his former offense made him a second offender, considering that attempted suicide was erased from the penal code in 1919. The jury said he was and Judge Conway was forced to pass a ten year sentence in accord with the Baumes law. "But I will personally go to Governor Roosevelt and plead in your behalf so that the sentence may be substantially reduced," the judge told Smith.

No disease can be cured unless the bowels move regularly. If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out, cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superfluous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then nature's machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red, healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood.

Find Workers In Industries Most Healthy Older Workers Not So Prone to Disease, Survey Shows NEW YORK.—ANP)—Workers in industry are healthier than the general population, and it is the young employee, rather than the elderly, who is prone to disease, according to indications in a study made by the Milbank Memorial fund. Dean K. Brundage, of the United States Health service, in a study for the research division of the Fund, has analyzed a large volume of data showing the extent of disabling diseases among wage-earning adults. His report states: "The sickness statistics of industry represent to a surprising extent the younger adult ages. In the manufacturing industries of the country as a whole, probably eighty per cent of the men are below age 45. A larger proportion of the female industrial workers, apparently from 90 to 95 per cent, is below age 45. Not Representative "There is evidence in the age curves of illness that industrial workers are not representative of the general population from a physical standpoint. Rather, they appear to be, in the main, the flower of the general population in physique and constitution. Between 15 and 50, the age curve of illness in a general population group was found to mount more rapidly than in a typical industrial group. In the general population the trend is steadily upward from ages 20-24 on; but among the industrial employees the frequency rates, based disabilities lasting two working days or longer, rose more slowly from age 25 to 40, and then actually declined to about age 60, after which the upward trend was resumed. "The failure of illness frequency to increase with age as rapidly among industrially employed persons as among those in the general population suggests that the healthier individuals may tend to remain in industry to a greater extent than the sickly, thus providing a more favorably selected group from a health standpoint in middle age and beyond than is found among those just beginning industrial life." CONFESSES HOLDUP SLAYING GALESBURG, Ill.—Jimmy Cohan, ex-convict, confessed Saturday that he killed Winfield S. Wilmot, white, Friday night when Wilmot resisted robbery.

INDIANA Movie Lot Talks By Harry Levette This Movie Gossiper happened to be holding up a telegraph pole at 12th and Central a few days ago and though not exactly eavesdropping could not fail to hear a conversation going on between two movie actors. One of these is said by all to be an ungrateful "cuss" who would not thank a lifeguard for throwing him a rope while caught in the Santa Monica rip-tide. He was blaming all the disasters of the world—the Brazilian revolution, Indian rebellion, Wall street crash, Mississippi floods, and his own failure in life—on Central Casting Bureau, claim he doesn't get a break. He is only one of many who get breaks often enough to keep the wolf away from the door, yet are highly ungrateful. The other party in the confab advised engaging a private booking agent of the Nordic strain who for so much per would get the jobs. No sooner had Afro-America moved to Hollywood than along came a flock of booking agents and near-booking agents who saw an opportunity to add to their uncertain incomes by charging a percentage for engagements. Our race is so gullible, so easily fooled that a number of unscrupulous hangers-on of the movie industry know that the fact that they were of the opposite race was all that was necessary to reach those who have a strong white complex. After all, almost every actor, actress, singer, or musician, who has made good got the first opportunity from Central Casting Bureau. After that their good work was all that was necessary to keep the studios calling for them as needed. Hence, to pay part of one's money to a disinterested party who probably knows nothing of the job until it was secured is really foolish and a waste of badly needed cash. Some of these prospective clients are so childleke, it is a shame for the agents to impose themselves on them. The only protection from them is the law that requires agents to be licensed and information has been disclosed that many of them are not. Danger Seen Others who manage to find employment get officiously busy at once inducing directors to put their friends on, instead of them being employed through proper channels. In course of time, this will do more harm than good as the motion picture companies will find out how little cooperation and how little respect for each other other exists within the group. Employment in all fields of labor is scarce. So as the generous movie industry is helping a great deal towards alleviating this situation and as other races are clamoring to do every thing the Negro is doing now, it would pay to be careful. At M. G. M. -The Southerner with Harry Pollard directing is moving along rapidly. This week a, call came to Central for some of the best singers of Negro folk songs, blues, and crooning melodies. Chas. Butler sent out Walter Jo Baker Again in Limelight As Queen of Paris Night Life PARKER HOUSE SAUSAGE There's a Difference Unequaled Quality and Flavor PARKER HOUSE Pure Po SAUSA MEA Parker House Chicago PARKER HOUSE SAUSAGE PARKER HOUSE SAUSAGE PARIS.—With the retirement of Mile. Mintinguette, Parisian stage idol of "million dollar leg" fame, Josephine Baker, five years ago a practically unknown chorus girl, finds herself elevated to the top pedestal of Parisian night life. Far from the ensemble of Bob Russell's "Dixie Steppers," via the "Chocolate Dandies" and a musical comedy company organized for a European tour, "Jo" has wriggled her way to the sensational spotlight of Parisian priority. Entered Folies in 1926 Starting out with a contract in the Folies Bergere in 1926, the only Negro in the production, Miss Baker, who first heard the weird moan of the "blues" in her home town, St. Louis, has risen meteorically to the place where she is the toast of the boulevards. Two things accounted for Josephine Baker's success—her sinuous dancing and her habit of dancing almost in the nude. "Wicked nudity" is what the church called the little Harlem girl's dancing. And, in March, St. Paul's Church, adjoining the Johann Strauss Theatre, where Miss Baker was creating her sensation, held services for three days "in atonement for outrages on morality" allegedly committed by the performers. Jilted Lover Is Suicide Then Franz Gabor, a young cabaret singer, sent a bullet crashing through his head and the tragedy was laid at the feet of Miss Baker, it being hinted that unrequited love was the motive for the suicide. In Prague the crowds milled about the dancer, breaking windows and forcing her to climb to the top of her taaxi before being allowed to go to her hotel. After a ten-day engagement in Prague, "Jo" returned to Paris where she danced at the Acasias in the afternoons, at the Folies Bergere at night, and in her own Montmartre cabaret in the early morning. In 1927 the story was released that Miss Baker had married Count Pepito di Albertini, an Italian, on June 3, her twenty-first birthday. Subsequent investigations, however, failed to establish the identity of the "count" as real and conflicting statements by Miss Baker and the supposed count set the Richardson, Richad Mann, Reese Corporal, Louise Beavers, Edith Turnham, Teddye Peters, and Sarah Martin. All of these are widely known and Miss Martin is a record artist. Trader Horn with Harry Carey star filmed, the arrival of the star at the native village last week necessitating over a hundred extras as villagers. tongues of Paris and Rome wagging. Reports had it that the "count" was none other than Giuseppe Abatino, a plasterer. The entire incident was later dismissed as a publicity stunt although Miss Baker is still referred to in some circles as "Countess." The bronzed dancer has kept her name in the newspapers regularly since her sojourn in Europe, and two years ago told reporters that she would never return to the United States. She took the leading part in "The Siren of the Tropics," a French-made film, which, when exhibited here proved to be only mediocre as to plot and photography. Original Film Daring Those who know, however, report that the original film was extremely daring in its treatment of sex relations and that it had to be cut, spoiling its value for American patrons. Because of her nude performances, Miss Baker found herself on more than one occasion, subject to governmental ban. At Budapest in 1928 she was denied permission by the national and municipal governments to appear on the stage there, the reason being given that her performances were too risque. Her favorite costume was one made only of bananas, which she wore around her waist. At times, it is said, she discarded some of these. In her book of memoirs, compiled by Marcel Sauvage, a Frenchman, the dancer advises women who wish to add to their beauty, to sleep stark naked and to use rain water for toilet water. On several excursions to Monte Carlo, Miss Baker has been lucky, her latest winnings amounting to several hundred thousand francs. With Mistinguette in retirement, "Jo" Baker has the entire run of Parisian night life. "Mme la Comtesse Pepito di Albertini," she still calls herself at times, but deep in her heart she is still a little Harlem dancer, having an "awfully good time." Physician Dies From Malady X-Ray Caused NEWARK, N. J.—(ANP)—Dr. I. Alfred Lawrence of Newark, died in the general hospital of the city of New York on October 12, from a malady which was not diagnosed at the time of his death, but which physicians now pronounce the result of frequent use of the X-Ray. Dr. Lawrence had one of the best X-Ray laboratories in Newark, and was considered an expert. Germans Riot Over Play About Negro STUTTGART, Germany.—An unprecedented demonstration for and against a play purporting to describe the oppression and exploitation of Negroes in the United States Monday night brought out police riot squads here and caused the closing of the theatre in which the performance was being given. The police used their clubs on the demonstrators. The play is "Shadows Over Harlem," written by Ossip Dymov. Its opponents confined their protest at first to catcalls and the blowing of police whistles, but when the author appeared on the stage, broke into pandemonium. The disorder spread to the street, and riot squads were called out surrounding the audience and closing the theatre. 'Whoopee' Talkie Style Of Famed Stage Comedy At the United Artists theater, Chicago, there will be seen the first collaboration of the two greatest criteria of successful stage and screen talent in the world. "Whopee" is the joint production of Samuel Goldwyn, chief pioneer of the motion picture business, and Florenz Ziegfeld, world-famous glorifier of the American girl and king of the musical stage. Samuel Goldwyn's uncanny ability to select unknowns and see them turn into world-famous stars has long been the wonder of Hollywood. Florenz Ziegfeld's record on the stage is scarcely less spotted with triumphs of the selection. Eddie Cantor, who is widely known for his humorous songs and witty sayings, has the same role he successfully played on the stage.

A WIDOW’S MOURNING Questions—1, Should a_ widow (aged 36) wear a veil (long ot short) for six months or a year? What ig the proper time to begin wearing colors? Should her little daughter be dressed in black and white? 2. Mrs. X. (aged 54) who lost her husband three years ago still wears black, Her friends want her to change to colors this year. Her own feeling is that she would like to re- main in black for the rest of her life. Would this seem to indicate morbid grief? Answers—1. The continued wear- ing of mourning is entirely a mat- ter of personal choice. No conven- tion isso oftend disregarded nowa- days as is the old-fashioned “pre- scribed period.” Uusally a widow Wears black with a long veil at the funeral and with a short veil for a year afterward. Thereafter, if she is “still young” she may go into colors if she pleases. | 2. Many middle-aged widows never resume colors. This indicates a certain dignified reserve rather than “morbid grief.” In any case, cleyerly made black gowns, hats and coats are always in good taste and very becoming to most women. Household Hints A SUBSTITUTE FOR PASTRY FLOUR If you want to make pastry and find that you have not enough pas- try flour you can make ordinary flour serve. Just add a tablespoon or cornstarch to each cup of bread flour and sift well together. You will find that your pastry has the same fine texture as if you used special flour. TO REMOVE THE COVER OF A CREAM JAR If the cover will not come off easilly from your cream jar, try this method: With a light ham- mer rap the cover gently all around on the top. Then cover it with a wet cloth and you will find that you can easily turn it. This is good for any screw-top jar cover. 9 “TI Want to Know How can I make a good toilet perfume? ‘A. A good toilet perfume can be made by mixing two ounces of alco- hol with one-half ounce of orris root. Keep in a bottle, tightly corked, and shake well before using. Q. How can I bleach a scorched spot? ‘A. Rub the spot immediately with a cloth dipped in diluted peroxide. Then run the iron over it and it will be as white as originally.

If the motor does not re- volve when the switch is operated, the cord and switch should be in- spected, after making sure, how: ever, that the line fuse has not blown and that current is being de- livered to the cleaner. If there are no breaks in the cord and _ the switch makes contact when op- erated, which can be determined by inspection, the motor should be looked over. If the trouble is caused by a stalling of the motor, look at the gears and the bearings in order to determine if string, lint or other material has wedged between. Sometimes a solid object will get into the fan housing and wedge it- self in such a way that the fan will be locked and thereby be pre- vented from turning. Such a con- dition is likely to cause the motor to burn out if current is applied for any length of time. Should it be possible to turn the motor by hand, however, the trouble is an electrical defect in the motor. Re- move the brushes and examine the commutator. If this is blackened and cut,, the armature must be re- moved and a light cut taken from the commutator as it is rotated be- tween centers ona lathe, If the commutator is not scored, a clean- ing with No. 00 sandpaper will oft- en be sufficient, The motor can then be re-assembled, and if the brushes are in good condition and sufficient tension is exerted by the brush springs, it should again op- erate when current is applied.

The Government is building eight powerful radio stations, scattered over the country, for the purpose of guiding airplane pilots. These stations will have a much greater range than the sixty-five similar stations now existing. They will send out radio messages constant- ly, and will obviously, add much to the security of fights, as well as ad- vancing air transportation, Have we anything analogous to this in the difficult passage through our mortal lives?

C. LORK, Prop. 2500 Adams Street PAGE FIVE and... —— CALUMET TOWNSHIP, not including fractional sections along the lake front or annexed property in center of Hobart Township, has an area of fifty-four square miles. This is divided as follows: AGIOS ore ccs cvees wens «00 pee OOS Subdivided Lots ........,...... 75,252 Buildings «ooo. 06 cc ecaling se ooh Oe not including additionals for 1931 and 1932. Many of the lots have more than one building, these figures are for one building for each lot. The Tax Laws of Indiana provide that a tax for township purposes must be uniform throughout the township and the laws do not require a uniform method of valuation of property for taxation, but only such a method as will insure a just valuation. The next quadrennial valuation of property falls in 1932. This is the valuation of real estate and improve- ments which is made every four years, and is not changed other than to add new improvements erected during the four year interim. The quadrennial assess- ment of 1932 will be the most difficult and important one, with one possible exception, of any ever made in Gary. The exception is the assessment made follow- ing the World War when adiustment to cover the after war conditions was necessary. That problem was met by taking into consideration deflated values and then by measuring each building and assessing by the cubic foot method, again considering the type of construc- tion. The 1932 problem will be one largely of deprecia- tion. In one section of our city each building must be inspected thoroughly and remeasured in order to arrive at a just depreciation; in other sections where differ- ent rate of depreciation must apply to almost every building, the task will be even more complicated and difficult. Land and lot values must undergo a com- plete revaluation. How necessary then will be experience in this work and familiarity in handling these’ matters to make an equitable valuation. This work must be done by the Township Assessor's office, which is the foundation upon which all taxation depends. It is usually looked upon as a lowly office, poorly paid, but no office is more important to the individual citizens. With so tremendous a task confronting the next Township Assessor in whose department inexperience and incompetency would result in chaos, the voters of Calumet Township are urged to see to it that one of marked adaptability, of many years’ experience and training, who has endeavored to be fair and impartial in his valuations of properties in the Township be re- tained in the office of Assessor of Calumet Township. Major McFadden in announcing his candidacy for re-election to this office feels that he owes it to the vot- ers of the Township to make the following statement: “To the Voters of Calumet Township: “To the Voters of Calumet Township: “One who has been as signally honored as I have been by the voters of this township for almost a quar- ter of a century, surely owes the people a frank state- ment following the report of the Lake County Grand Jury made public recently. “I desire to positively disclaim any intent to violate the laws of my country or state and to affirm that in the performance of my duties as township assesor, I have not and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no one in my employ has performed any act with fraudulent intent. “T have given the best years of my life to the pub- lic service and in so doing have conscientiously de- voted my entire energy in perfecting that service through adoption and development of better and more equitable methods, with the motivating thought fore- most of a fair deal to everybody. That these efforts have not been in vain and that the public recognizes a faithful servant, is testified to by the confidence of my fellowmen in returning me to this public trust each succeeding term. Encouraged by this sentiment and a desire to justify it, has lent inspiration to me in building up a system in the assessor’s office that has received commendation throughout the state and the adoption of that system quite generally. If, as alleged, a misapplication of technical routine has occurred in | the tremendous increase of business in my office, it should not be attributed to any wilful act on my part or on the part of my staff, but rather to a genuine de- sire to meet changing conditions. “A thorough investigation of my record as assessor will be welcomed by me.” CALUMET TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR PAGE SIX THE GARY AMERICAN.

Several weeks ago The Gary American came out in a new type dress, which meant the dropping of this paper's all capital letter headlines in favor of a more readable newspaper headline. This type dress is the first to be adopted by a newspaper anywhere in the State of Indiana. It is a fitting addition to a newspaper which is: FIRST in efficient service to its patrons. FIRST in amount of local and telegraph news. FIRST in sound, sane, and well-written editorials. FIRST in championing the rights of the Negro race. FiRST in neatness of appearance and in illustrations. FIRST in the great services a great newspaper renders. FIRST in number of entertaining and informative features. FIRST in everything that makes a newspaper great, interest for the reader, and pulling power for the advertiser. The Gary American "Indiana's Greatest Weekly Newspaper" 1819 Washington Street October 25. 1980 Labor Loses, Gains, During 30 Day Period Urban League Lists Job Situation in Various Parts of Country New York,—(ANP) The National Urban League, through its Industrial Relations department of which T. Arnold Hill is director, summarizes fluctuations in unemployment for Negroes during September as follows: While conditions are still unfavorable throughout the country, Negro workers have made advances in a number of cities. In Omaha a national advertising agency gave employment to twenty girls as special demonstrators and canvassers. This opportunity came after the management had been convinced that the work could be done by these girls. Omaha also claims the appointment of sixteen girls to run elevators in an old establishment of that city, and a department store, operated in the colored district, employed its first colored salesgirl. A hotel, which previously had employed Negro doormen, returned to this policy after using white doormen for a year. Improvement From Buffalo, comes word that two Standard Oil service stations are making their first experiment in that city with colored attendants in charge of workers of both races. The Shell Company has followed with one worker in order to meet the competition of the Standard Oil. Denver, which for sometime has been on the up-grade, sees "a steady improvement in employment and an increase in calls from business concerns as well as in domestic service." Richmond reports that upwards of fifty building laborers have been employed on new construction jobs with prospects of all colored help. In Minneapolis four women were reinstated at the city Auditorium and domestic service employment increased over August. In Pittsburgh four new stores opened, employing janitors and porters, about fourteen in all. In Detroit, conditions are reported as bad but no worse in September than before. In Jefferson City, Missouri, two buildings at Lincoln University have given employment to several colored laborers. Chicago boasts of salesgirls in a prominent five and ten cent store. Losses Listed Losses were also sustained during the month of September. Boston notes some replacement of Negroes by whites, Atlanta, where the activities of the Black Shirt organization have not brought wholesale discharges of Negroes, reports a few minor losses which probably can be charged to this propaganda. Pittsburgh is beginning to feel the competition of white domestics as Chicago, St. Louis, New York, and other cities have experienced for sometime. One large cigar factory in Tampa, in which a large number of Negroes were employed, closed down. Des Moines, which has usually been a most favorable city for Negro workers, reports that no significant gains were made during September In Austin, Texas, several large firms have reduced their forces and as a result Negroes were greatly affected. With the harvesting of crops completed, three or four men are reported available for each job. In Fort Wayne, a prominent national corporation discharged twenty-seven colored men probably because of general business depression, and unemployment there is said to be serious. Kansas City claims a small decrease in unemployment of build- W.L. DOUGLAS SHOES AMERICA'S BEST KNOWN SHOES When you buy W. L.

Barthelmess in 'Dawn Patrol' at Broadway "The Dawn Patrol," a thrilling First National-Vitaphone drama of the air service starring Richard Barthelmess, is the coming attraction at the Broadway Theatre next Friday and Saturday, October 31 and November 1. Following close on the heels of such successes as "Weary River," "Drag," "Young Nowheres" and "Son of the Gods," the newest Barthelmess production is due to create a sensation and larger fan following than anything he has heretofore done. "The Dawn Patrol" teems with dramatic situations, action, and human interest. It tells the story of a group of young flyers in the early years of the World War. War is not its theme—it serves merely as the background against which star and director and author have painted a vivid picture of the soul-struggle of fighting men who soar above the clouds, face the enemy against great odds and in it finds something greater than war to make a sacrifice for. "The Dawn Patrol" was written originally as a screen story by John Monk Saunders, author of "Wings" and other motion picture stories. It was directed by Howard Hawks, brother of the ill-fated Kenneth and ing workers. Wilmington, Deleware, feels the discharge of men from a car shop company and the replacement of colored help in one of the social service organizations. In Columbus, Ohio, a chain store has discharged the only Negro manager in its employ in that city, the blame being placed upon the lessor of the store who threatened to cancel the lease if the colored employee were continued in service. need of EY able mea Are you in need of MONEY See Sam at 1604 Broadway Phone 2-3477 en Price When P $22.00 only --- --- e.

Real Art Tailoring Co. 1616 BROADWAY Send White Slayer Up for Long Term Jury Out 30 Minutes in Georgia Murder Case AUGUSTA, Ga.,— (ANP) After deliberating just twenty minutes the jury foud Charles Goodwin, a white man, guilty of the murder of Walter Barnes, and for the first time in the history of Richmond county, a white man faced a sentence of life imprisonment for the murder of a Negro. Goodwin admitted that he killed Barnes, but claimed that he shot in self defense. He stated that Barnes attacked him with a weapon and to protect his own life he shot and killed his "assailant." Evidence produced at the trial, however, proved the self-defense plea absolutely false and showed that Goodwin had slain the man because he refused to obey his command to bring him a drink of water. After listening to the evidence and deliberting a short time, the jury returned a verdict of guilty and Goodwin was sentenced to life imprisonment automatically as the verdict carries that penalty.

"The Gary American enters the field without malice or envy toward anyone; it has no axe to grind, neither has it anyone to punish; it has but one aim, to which it will cling with pious devotion, and that is to stand squarely in defense of the rights of the black American."—Prospectus of The Gary American Number One, November 10, 1927. VOL. III. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1930 No. 49 Hoover's Commission and Mexican Labor REPORTS submitted this week to President Herbert Clarke Hoover by a commission appointed to study the economic status of the Negro bear out what The American has long maintained: the Negro laborer in the North has as his greatest rival for jobs the Mexican. It has been pointed out by this newspaper that Mexicans flourish in those centers in the North and Southwest where Aframericans have congregated. They are hired where black citizens of this country are turned away. Unemployment means little to them, as they are brought here in droves and worked when other laborers starve. Lake county has a Mexican population running into the thousands. It is not improbable that many of those from the country south of the Rio Grande came here through illegal channels. Many have been sent back by government officials and an even greater number are never detected. Meantime, Lake county Negroes go jobless or else are forced to break laws in order to keep body and soul together. Economic depression is caused by the noncirculation of money. It is a well known fact that the Mexican spends very little of his earnings here. He saves his wages to return to the land of his birth where he may settle down or go on a splurge until his funds are exhausted; realizing that a deflated purse may be replenished merely by setting foot in a big railroad or industrial center in the U. S. North or Southwest. Negroes, who at least can be said to keep money in circulation by spending their earnings, suffer, as do business institutions where Mexicans are in large numbers. Thus, indirectly, does capital, which champions the Mexican's presence here, become a victim of a vicious circle of its own creation. Hoover's commission also points out that Southern whites are slowly but surely taking ove those jobs to which a Negro has long been accustomed. Hard times, migration northward, and a slow but gradual forgetfulness of pre-Civil War practices may be held accountable. The economic counter-thrust to such conditions is the gradual establishment of Negro businesses which give employment to workers of the race—a counterthrust which, at present, has little power. It can be seen that our economic status is one of great seriousness. Fleeing from the South to escape persecution,the Negro comes to the North where he must do battle with men of another country in order to earn his daily crust of bread. Those left in Dixie are being gradually ousted, both naturally and through the stimulation of frankly inimical organizations such as the American Facisti Order of Black Shirts. At the same time the race empties its pocketbooks into the coffers of the churches where little or no economic benefit is derived. Meanwhile, Mexicans pour into this country in a thick stream from our neighboring republic. Black citizens here starve. The business morale is low. Those who spend can't find employment. Quite obviously, it would pay these same interests which promote Mexican labor to dodge the effects of the economic boomerang and cut down or end its exploitation. While it is oblivious that such action would not materially stimulate business nationally, in those communities like Lake county which have large Mexican and Negro populations it would be of decided advantage. Aframerica's Big Game WILBERFORCE AND TUSKEGEE battle in Chicago Saturday for grid honors. Many thousands from both Chicago and other cities are expected to be in attendance. We are in favor of such events. Football is generally considered to be as essential to American college life as study itself. But we doubt the wisdom of holding such a monster game this year. Due to the general financial depression, many Negroes undoubtedly have gone hungry and have dodged the payment of their bills in order to have the raiment in which to attend the game and the numerous social functions immediately afterward. They will spend money in a grand splurge to put up a front which will be costly to both themselves and their associates. It might be argued that the white colleges have not allowed hard times to interfere with their football schedules. This is true. But all the money spent remains in the hands of white folk. Those who promote the coming Wilberforce- Tuskegee affair must pay several thousand dollars for rental on Soldiers Field stadium alone. Transportation there will take even more money. It is strange and pathetic how the race can dig down in its pockets to support things of the moment such as conventions each summer and the coming contest while lasting projects are passed coldly by. Few of those planning to spend a big part of their funds on the game and supplementary social functions would invest a dollar in a business which would mean much continued good to them. This desire to ballyhoo two prominent elevens and bring them together in the biggest stadium in the world had its inception among the Caucasians. So did Big Business but our race has made only a small effort to ape this Nordic gesture. It is hoped that the next time a big football game of such a nature is held in Chicago economic conditions will be improved. At the present time, it is a mockery and a black mark against the intelligence of college officials who are old and experienced enough to know better. Maybe It Would Help ING SOLOMON, a prize fighter of some prominence, lost a suit against a Brooklyn newspaper in New York in which he sought heavy financial remuneration for alleged libel. The newspaper had termed the mauler a "Negro boxer." The New York judge, in rendering his decision, stated that, since the Negro is a citizen of this country, it did not constitute libel to have one citizen identified with the race of another. This opens up a whole new field of endeavor for enterprising northern white publications which make a specialty of casting opprobrium. Failing in rousing the ire of individuals by hurling mere epithets, as a last resort they might class them as Negroes. King Solomon says that since his racial lot has been publicly cast with that of the struggling 14,000,000, he has been discriminated against, and neighbors' children have been told by their parents not to play with his. Should this happen to all of those who might be called Negroes by the white press, it might react to the benefit of all Aframericans. It's pretty hard for a Caucasian to understand the difficulties which a Negro faces each day of his existence without having been up against them himself. Such personal experience might lead to an effort to better conditions. Other Papers Say LYNCHING AFFIDAVITS (Indianapolis News) Attorney-General Ogden has acted not only as the law of Indiana requires, but as a sound social structure dictates, with reference to lynchings at Marion several weeks ago. Sheriff Campbell, responsible for the safety of two Negro prisoners who were removed from jail and hanged by a mob, was held blameless of neglect of duty by a Grant county grand jury, which lately ended its sessions. Likewise no indictments were voted of participants in the affair. Information in possession of the attorney-general is regarded by him as adequate to justify proceedings against the sheriff, on the ground that he failed to take enough precaution, and against seven persons accused of being active in the mob. Affidavits to that effect have been filed in the Grant county circuit court, in the jurisdiction of which the outbreak occurred. Pending the hearing of testimony, there can be no valid opinion about the guilt of these particular defendants. What is certain is that the two men slain did not receive the protection of civil institutions to which they were entitled. Of the seriousness of their own admitted offenses against the public, there is, of course, no question. They killed a young man in the course of a robbery and attacked his woman companion. For these crime they were being held, and for these crimes, under the regular processes of the statutes, they surely would have been punished. This fact only adds to the enormity of the lynchings. The code of the jungle was resorted to out of sheer and dangerous blood lust, inflamed by appeals to the lower instincts of human beings. Whether or not the sheriff displayed the judgment that is expected of an official when confronted with an emergency, is, as already indicated, for subsequent developments to reval. Whether the men said to have had a orominent part in the hangings are innocent is also to be ascertained. It is the duty of the court to get at the whole truth and apply penalties against mob tactics as provided for by legislation. Only thus can Marion, Grant county and Indiana demonstrate their right to full respect as regions where just laws are subscribed to in practice as well as in principle. The Marion incident, if condoned by less than a maximum degree of governmental endeavor to learn all the facts, would be a permanent blot on the record of the state Lady Astor says, "character depends on thinking for yourself not of yourself." But, Lady, the best of all would be to do your thinking to yourself, and let others do theirs the same way. A few years ago heaters resembled phonographs, and now they are built along the same lines as radios, leading to the belief that one of these days somebody will design one that looks like a stove. Even a dull razor permits some fellow to be quite a cutup at a social function. Backing and Filling Some senators take a new attitude on prohibition like an ice truck turning in a 16-foot alley. THE GARY AMERICAN. GARY. INDIANA A Diplomat at Large as a whole are rather foolish. We spend plenty of day and time in selecting representatives and for the government to make laws for our own conduct. Somebody gets in trouble, either civil or criminal, a lawyer to appear in court and pick flaws in it. An undertaker prospers on the mistakes of doctors, lawyers go morticians one better. They live off of mistakes of everybody. There would be no lawyers in the ideal community but every would make mistakes. Of course it might be the absence of lawyers would make any commotion. Gary is flooded with members of the flaw-finding community. Some of the local verbiose gentlemen are trained and talented, others jaw their way by, and some the rest can't even understand a brief. Lucky they have plenty of elections in Gary. The mortality rate among attorneys here works very high. The only way to get rid of a lot of legal animated odds-and-ends is to make Lake Mary marchy. In all fairness, lawyers as a whole render an invasion to any vicinity. By becoming lawyers, they live open for other people. They stimulate the industry by buying libraries for their offices. They book stores by purchasing paper and ink. They import the realtors by renting offices. So it goes. One cynical people who read this may get the idea don't think much of barristers. Not at all. Right of becoming an attorney—but I came to my job before I could make a mistake. I became a job. Go ahead—say that's even worse. Add to it by being an no journalist. A lawyer can use more words to say less than one in civilization. An ordinary man says to a friend, you can have this bushel of apples." But it suffice a lawyer? Consider, dear people—it takes hours work, a stenographer and six sheets of linen to get rid of just one core; and then some one lawyer is liable to come in and show the receiving paper he can't accept because the papers haven't been up correctly. Another words, one lawyer spends most of his time spend himself from other lawyers. And in half that come up in court, the lawyer with the worst the biggest list of favorable technicalities and at line of gab walks off with the honors, whether this is right or wrong. However, I can say this for the disciples of Ananassa male public school teachers, lawyers are esteemed to our civilization. I also realize our civilization faults. Expecting to receive twelve pages from some attorney, boiled down, will mean that he considers me a lawyer. We as a whole are rather foolish. We spend plenty of good money and time in selecting representatives and founding a government to make laws for our own conduct. Then, when somebody gets in trouble, either civil or criminal, he hires a lawyer to appear in court and pick flaws in these laws. * * * An undertaker prospers on the mistakes of doctors.

Of course it might be said that the absence of lawyers would make any community ideal. Gary is flooded with members of the flaw-finding fraternity. Some of the local verbiose gentlemen are well trained and talented, others jaw their way by, and some of the rest can't even understand a brief. It's lucky they have plenty of elections in Gary. Otherwise the mortality rate among attorneys here would be mighty high. The only way to get rid of a lot of useless local legal animated odds-and-ends is to make Lake county a monarchy. In all fairness, lawyers as a whole render an invaluable aid to any vicinity. By becoming lawyers, they leave jobs open for other people. They stimulate the book industry by buying libraries for their offices. They aid the book stores by purchasing paper and ink. They support the realtors by renting offices. So it goes. Some cynical people who read this may get the idea that I don't think much of barristers. Not at all. I once thought of becoming an attorney—but I came to my senses in time before I could make a mistake. I became a journalist. (Go ahead—say that's even worse. Add to it by claiming I'm no journalist.) A lawyer can use more words to say less than any man in civilization. An ordinary man says to a friend: "Here, you can have this bushel of apples." But will that suffice a lawyer? Consider, dear people—it takes two hours work, a stenographer and six sheets of legal forms to get rid of just one core; and then some other lawyer is liable to come in and show the receiving party where he can't accept because the papers haven't been drawn up correctly. In other words, one lawyer spends most of his time trying to defend himself from other lawyers. And in half of the cases that come up in court, the lawyer with the wordiest brief, the biggest list of favorable technicalities and the stiffest line of gab walks off with the honors, whether his client is right or wrong. However, I can say this for the disciples of Ananias: unlike male public school teachers, lawyers are essential to our civilization. I also realize our civilization has its faults. Expecting to receive twelve pages from some attorney which, boiled down, will mean that he considers me a liar, is The Health Question Dr. Dennis A. Bethea (Health Editor, The Gary American) THE HOSPITAL there was a time, not so long ago, when we looked at hospital with holy horror. It loomed up before us, a last stop on the rough rocky road to the graveyard, after all, there was some justification for the mon; for these institutions did not have that horrificance as they do today. Instead of looking like they now seem more like up-to-the-minute hotels, not only were the hospitals in that day sad and cold; but the methods for caring for the sick were primitive. Then folk would not go to the hospitals very last resort. They would wait so long until almost see the pearly gates standing ajar, or he is singing over the radio. But these old customs have passed on. They have been with the red-top boots, hoop-skirts and long hair, is now a necessary adjunct to life, like the and the hair dressing parlor. By going to the hospital treatment, early in the disease, your chances for grooming are increased a hundred fold. Furthermore, with a lived technique of caring for the sick, you can just bottom dollar that you will return to your home mobile instead of a hearse. The community needs the hospital so that young will learn to be nurses, that they may more adequately be sick. Medical students must receive training for their profession, while the practitioners must be to take their patients who need surgical treatment, other expert services that cannot be given in the physician is unable to practice his profession to his action, unless he has some sort of hospital care he give the patient his best services, when he him good-bye at the hospital gate? Colored physicians and their patients have been gapped along the line of hospital services. Except few instances, colored doctors are not allowance in white hospitals. In the operating room, have to stand there, like Lot's wife, not permit an instrument. No one, save Jesus Christ, could a skilled surgeon by this process. I meet this demand, a number of physicians have hospitals of their own, where they may administer needs of their patients, unmolested. These men, sacrifices, almost unthinkable, in order to put program. It cost a lot of money to found and build, so it is seldom that these private hospitals a financial standpoint. The race has about a dozen big hospitals, like Protico, Freedman in Washington, Hubbard in New York and the John A. Andrews in Tuskegee. But it is small hospitals scattered throughout the country, wandering such wondrous services to the race as a slave have one such institution in our midst—the St. Johns. Moreover, it can be said to the credit of the patient and the profession, that very near every one of Lake county is on the staff of this hospital not only do patients in these hospitals receive nurses from our surgeons, physicians, nurses and doctors but they have ease and freedom that would be too secure in other institutions. There was a time, not so long ago, when we looked upon the hospital with holy horror. It loomed up before us as the very last stop on the rough rocky road to the graveyard. Perhaps after all, there was some justification for this impression; for these institutions did not have that homelike appearance as they do today. Instead of looking like a mortuary they now seem more like up-to-the-minute hotels. Not only were the hospitals in that day sad and dreary places; but the methods for caring for the sick were crude and primitive. Then folk would not go to the hospital until the very last resort. They would wait so long until they could almost see the pearly gates standing ajar, or hear the angels singing over the radio. But these old customs have passed on. They have passed along with the red-top boots, hoop-skirts and long hair. The hospital is now a necessary adjunct to life, like the drugstore and the hair dressing parlor. By going to the hospital for treatment, early in the disease, your chances for getting well are increased a hundred fold. Furthermore, with the improved technique of caring for the sick, you can just bet your bottom dollar that you will return to your home in an automobile instead of a hearse. The community needs the hospital so that young women may learn to be nurses, that they may more adequately care for the sick. Medical students must receive training to fit them for their profession, while the practitioners must have a place to take their patients who need surgical treatment and other expert services that cannot be given in the home. A physician is unable to practice his profession to his own satisfaction, unless he has some sort of hospital contact. How can he give the patient his best services, when he has to bid him good-bye at the hospital gate? Colored physicians and their patients have been greatly handicapped along the line of hospital services. Except in a very few instances, colored doctors are not allowed to practice in white hospitals. In the operating room they often have to stand there, like Lot's wife, not permitted to touch an instrument. No one, save Jesus Christ, could become a skilled surgeon by this process. To meet this demand, a number of physicians have started hospitals of their own, where they may administer to the needs of their patients, unmolested. These men have made sacrifices, almost unthinkable, in order to put over their program. It cost a lot of money to found and man a hospital, so it is seldom that these private hospitals pay, from a financial standpoint. The race has about a dozen big hospitals, like Provident in Chicago, Freedman in Washington, Hubbard in Nashville, and the John A. Andrews in Tuskegee. But it is the 150 small hospitals scattered throughout the country that are rendering such wondrous services to the race as a whole. We have one such institution in our midst—the St. John Hospital. Moreover, it can be said to the credit of the management and the profession, that very near every colored physician of Lake county is on the staff of this hospital. Not only do patients in these hospitals receive expert services from our surgeons, physicians, nurses and technicians, but they have ease and freedom that would be impossible to secure in other institutions. Nothing to Excit One Buffalo News: Lacking the census figures, you can tell a first-class city by its failure to get excited about a convention. Buffalo News: Lacking the census figures, you can class city by its failure to get excited about a c By Clifford C. Mitchell The white press, from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, tells us of the many endurance contests being staged throughout the country, a few of which are useful and will provide statistical data for the use of science and mechanics. All of the others can be bulked and classed purely as freak and erratic stunts, of no possible benefit, merely giving the contestants such satisfaction as they can personally derive from the publicity attracted to them. --- In the staging of endurance contests, however, there is a great moral that the race can profit from and this column will attempt to digest the essential elements. * * * * Life is in itself an endurance contest. Every day we are setting a new record. Beneficial results, whether real or potential, can only be gauged in comparison with what we hope to achieve. The primary consideration should therefore be centered in some definite aim, some field of endeavor, some business or profession, that seems the most consistent in keeping with our abilities or possibilities of performance. After a worthy and reasonable goal has been decided upon, we must then give attention to our ground crew or organization, for without the efficient and harmonious cooperation of such assistance our endurance would be of little value. This ground crew may or may not be separate and apart from ourselves. If it depends upon the actions of others, then, it is necessary and essential that we carefully choose only those having the requisite qualities and are capable of working in harmony with our plans, etc. On the other hand, our ground crew may consist in our own personal preparation, in our years of studying, of planning, etc. After our goal has been set and our ground crew provided, we are then ready to announce our entry in the endurance contest. From that moment on we will be in the spotlight. Our friends will be applauding our efforts and pulling for us to win. The curious will be watching us with eyes of wonderment, envy and jealousy. Our enemies will be placing obstacles in our way, hoping that our patience and endurance will lag, giving us wrong signals and placing alluring temptations in our path, resorting to many forms of pernicious tactics, not that they can win the race, but so that we will lose. The amount of our endurance spells the difference between defeat and success. For the sake of our cause, our friends and our principle, we must continue on. We must laugh at disappointments, smile at adversities and ignore temptations. With such a fortitude we will win the race and with it all the enjoyment, luxury and praise that a successful endurance contest merits. * * * For winning an endurance contest in the field of education, Prof. Henry A. Hunt, of Fort Valley, Georgia, recently was honored with a Spingarn medal, for his twenty-five years of continuous efforts at the Fort Valley High school. Without detracting from Prof. Hunt's honors, this column wishes to applaud a few other race men and women who have been and are engaged in an endurance contest, rendering personal services, in one locality and for one employer. * * * * Eddie Savoy, Washington, D.

Marcus Garvey Father Now; Boy Baby Is Born NEW YORK.—(ANP)—Announcements have been received here from Kingston, Jamaica, by local Garveyites that a son was born to Councillor Marcus Garvey, president and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement association, and Mrs. Garvey at "Somali Court," Lady Musgrave Road, St. Andrew, on Wednesday morning, September 17. It is hoped that this, the first child born to the couple, will be a chip off the old block, according to friends and admirers of the Garveys. There was great rejoicing at "Somali Court." A workman whose pay is $1.87 a day, unearthed diamonds valued at $1,425,000 when he turned over a stone at the State diamond mines at Namaqualand, South Africa.

Charges of violation of the oath of office could be placed against many outstanding public officials who have expressed advocacy of a repeal of the 18th amendment.

I do not think Mrs. O'Neill will make any progress towards the seat in the senate chamber by trying to prove such a contention to the voters of Illinois. I think she would do better if she offered some relief to the present unemployment chaos—one thought in mind is repeal of the 18th amendment, opening up of the distilleries and breweries, thereby giving employment to thousands of idle workers.

Civic leaders throughout the country are becoming quite concerned over the unemployment situation. A grave condition exists and civic and industrial leaders are beginning a somewhat belated relief movement. The unemployment situation has been grave since the burst of the inflated conditions in the stock market last fall. For two years previous to the crash of the market last year, stocks had been on the upgrade. Thousands of investors had made fortunes from the inflated prices. When the crash came it was the small investor who lost his all; he had been lured on by the big investor. Industrial leaders have not been much concerned over the unemployment condition before now. The income from their surplus manufactured products has been sufficient to tak care of their immediate needs. Now that the supply is diminishing to the point of demand it will automatically stimulate production, while industrial leaders will take the credit for relieving the prevailing serious unemployment condition. * * * * Heywood Broun and the Negro.

Heywood Broun, the noted columnist on the New York Telegram, who is a candidate for congress on the socialist ticket, is credited with encouraging the Negro to "revolt" against his "status quo." According to Mr. Broun's statement he is for "a vigorous revolt on the part of the Negro against the status quo." Mr. Broun goes on to say that "an idea can blow up heavier armor than bullets can pierce. I mean it is a mistake for the Negro to submit tamely and wait for a heaven beyond the clouds." I hold the opinion that the Negro has been too willing to accept the advice and leadership of religionists, while waiting for that "heaven beyond the clouds." If he would exert more self-determination and not accept so much leadership, he would not be so gullible to empty promises in all of life's endeavors. Dr. Delaney Says By Dr. F. S.

I wish at this time to introduce what, for convenience, I shall call the opposites, namely: Courage, Wisdom and Generosity. These constitute the crowning virtues and the richest heritage of the human race. Wisdom lifts the horizon of a man's vision and permits him to look beyond the veil which makes obscure the dangers and beauties of distant climes and reveals miseries and joys of future years. Wisdom with the breadth of its vision is useless without courage to adventure and generosity is impossible without courage to pursue its material course. Generosity has a wholesome, enriching and refreshing effect upon character, that can be secured from no other source. Generosity does not mean the mere giving under the spell of a sob story or contributing for the purpose of receiving honor and praise or the doling out of bits of money or credit with bitter regret on the part of the giver, but rather the free thoughtful deliberate sharing of one's self, substance and service only to be supplied or repaid with what replaces and rebuilds and makes richer and happier the character of him or her who thus participates. Courage bears men across the trackless ocean, over mountains, through deserts and plains and beyond the far-flung horizons of the world. It leads the way from poverty, ignorance and degradation to wealth, culture and honor. Our Weekly Lesson in English Our Weekly Lesson in English By W. L.
