Cleveland Names Two New
Aldermen; Board of Education
Cleveland, Nov. 23 (By Charles
H. Lo b for ANP)—Cleveland
voters elected two new Negro
cotmcilrnen, returned another to
office, and elected a Negi<o wom
an to the board of education, in
an "off year" election that saw
this nominally Democratic city
engge in a mayoralty cont st in
which both candidates were Re
publicans.
At the end of heavy voting,
inspired by the pr senee of the
Bigelow $50 a month pension
proposal on the s n’ e ballot,
Mayor Harold II. Burton, who
campaigned on a "law and order”
platform and his brlliant record
in office, defeated his Republi
can opponent, John B. O’Connel
Cleveland school board member,
by 37,000 votes in the unofficial
election board tabulations.
Th.» Negro wards, as expected,
furnished most of he fireworks,
and many of the surprises as
well. The daily r ewspapers ran
their usual alarm stories of “vote
manipulation’’ in ward 12, wh rc
Theodore William’., Burton lead
er and a write-in candidate for
council opposing Finkle and Os
car Rucker protested to the
board of elect! 11s that both of
ficials were ‘pepping* at the
ballots and stuffing those mark
ed for Burton under the billot
boxes. Election b jard officials j
and police squad cars diispa iched
to <fhe ward could find no evi
-dento of fraud. Williams was
snowed under, garnering 675
Totes. Finkle tailed 4,531 and j
Rucker 279.
In tho 17th Ward, where Wil
Iftun O. Walker, (lall-B st edi

piiblican organization, defeated

liis desertion from Rf publican
ranks, only one Incident of mag
oitude rK'cuml.
Carr, in nuking his rounds of
the precincts, clashed verbally
with Burton-•’Walker wen Iters
near a voting booth. Th? Walker
workers, including Mrs. Callie
Lc:i Stroater, president of the
Housewives league, Mrs. Lula
Boydston, and Mrs. Mamie E.
Smith, state that Mr. Carp ap
proached them in an attempt to
enlist heir suppor by offering
them more money than was bo
ng paid Burton-Walker workers,
and angered by their refusal,
addressed them as “you darkies.”
Carr, according to the workers,
then left the scene, but returned
. short time la'.er and w'as at
tempting to apologize to Mrs.
Smith fop his action, when a po
lica squad car, called by the po
I’c'ivan on duty at the booth,
drove up and ordered him away
from the scene.
Witnesses sMate that Carr show
ed res ntment on being ordered
away, and upbraided the officers
for attempting to make him leave
the vicinty. He is reported to
have reminded the officers tha.
ho was a lawyer, and did not have
to stamd “being pushed around
by anybody.” The officers placed
him under arrest.
Mr. Carr is ^ported to have
insisted that a charge be placed
against him, and he was booked
for creating a disturbance. Hear
ing on the charge was set for
Municipal court Wednesday
morning but was continued to
November 22.
(Yinple.e returns in the 17th
wand gave Walker 3411 to 2filfi
for Carr. The flow of O’Donnel
money in this ward, and workers
sent in'jo the ward to work for
t Garr, reportedly by Bennie Mason
ex-|H>licy king, succeeded in win
ning the ward for O’Donnel over
Mayor Burton by a bare 163
votes. Martin Hoyle, who ran as
a Repub] icon and was eliminated
along with Dr. Bundy in the pri
maries, swung votes that caused
the loss of the ward to the Bur
tonites.
The Uth Ward contest was
drab and colorless throughout the
winner, Atty. Augustus G. Par
ker backed by the lltth Ward
Republican organization, being
practically conceded the council
seat by his heavy majority over
incumbent Thomas J. Davis, De
mocrat, in the primaries. Davis,
however, ran excellently for a
Democrat, in this ward, polling
2.09S votes o Parker’s 4,633. An
accident suffered by th? council
man kept him inactive during the
closing days of the campaign.
Tho school board contest stirr
ed up great interest in .(he Ne
gro wards, where sentiment for
and against Mrs. Mary B. Martin,
former school board merriber, was
difficult bo measure. Mrs. Martin
always a good vote getter, ran
on a Oi'iizens slate along with.
E. Krejci and Frederick W. Dorn
(and was the recipient of thou
sands of white votes in the
school district; M,-s. Martin, the
only Negro woman in Cl veland
to occupy an elective position in
the hi*'.lory of the city, was
roundly scored in the Negro
wards for her disinterest in her
own group when she was a mem
ber of the board, but campaign
ed rigorously in the Negro sec
tions, promising to “do better”
if returned to the board. Mrs.
Marin outran her running mates
by some 6,000 votes.

ONLY 4 OUT OF 25 NEGRO
ELEMENTARY NEW
ORLEANS SCHOOLS “FAIRLY
GOOD” SURVEY SHOWS
New Orleans, Nov. 16 (By Leon
Lewis for ANP)—A bulletin re
leased by the bureau of govern
ment research recommending a
marked improvement in the phy
sical plant of the New Orleans
lementary public schools in re
ferring to Negro elementary
schools said, “four of the 25
Negro elementary schools are
quite poor, some of thorn serving,
fairly new ibut the others are
as shelters in which children may
be collected for a minimum of
academic instruction. The four
schools that are fairly good are
Craig, Locke t, Jones and Lan
dry.”
The Bulletin offered a general
recommendation for a replace
ment program, stating that this ■
was the only possible solution to
the dire situation.
Light is far below the accepted
standards in most of New Or
leans school classrooms and con
ditions are sufficiently serious in
most of Negro schools to indicate
that children’s eyesight is being
impaired by too little light, the
bulletin brought out.
Harshly condemning other phy
sical shortcomings as improper
sanitary facilities, fire hazard
structures and equipment, es
pecially stairs, lack of special
room, auditoriums, libraries and
laboratories, the bulletin stated,
“in no other respect are New
Orleans school buildings so defi
cient as in the provision and
maintenance of proper fountains,
wash basins and toilets.”
The bulletin sp cifically stated
that Negro schools had tmany
more shortcomings than white
schools.

“PEOPLE WILL TALK”
We may go through the world
but i« will be very slow
If we listen Vo all that is said as
we go;
We’ll be worried and fretted, and
kepi in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must
have something to do—
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, ’twill then
bs presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed;
Vou’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing
or else you’re a fool,
But don’t get excited, keep per
fectly cool;
For people will talk.
If generous and noble, they’ll
vent out their spleen,
Vou’ll hear some loud hints that
you’re selfish and mean;
If upright and honest, and fair
as the day,
They’ll call you a rogue in a sly,
sn:aking way—
For people will talk.
Then if you show the least bold- '
ness of heart;
Or a slight indication to take 1
your own part,
They’ll call you an upstart, con
ceited and vain,
Bui keep straight ahead, don’t
s;op to explain—
For people will talk.
If threadbare your coat, or old
fashioned your dress,
Som one of course, will take
notice of this
And hint, rather close, that you
can’t pay your own way,
But don’t get excited, whatever
\shey say—
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don’t
think to escape,
For they then criticise in a far
differ nt shape,
You’re ahead of your means, or
your bills are unpaid,
But mind your own business, and
keep straight ahead—
For people will talk.
They will talk fine before you,
but then at your back,
Of venom and spite there is never
a lack;
How kind and polite in all that
they say,
And bitter as gall when you’re
out of the way—
For people will talk.
Friend, take my advice, and do as
you please,
For your mind, (if you have one)
will then be at ease,
Through life you will meet with
all sorts of abuse,
But don’t think to Stop them
’twill be of no use,
For people will talk.

GET SET FOR WINTER
>ow that summer Is gone, we can
look back and see that it did have
a few good points although we were
inclined to overlook them in our
struggle to keep cool. It’s an ill
wind, you know, that blows nobody
any good and doctors say that the
end of summer leaves us In better
health than we nre at any other
time of the yenr. In summer we
nave more fresh air, more out-door
"xercise, more fresh fruits and vege
tables than we ar‘» accustomed to,
and ns a result we are more fit. My
point today Is that since we are
starting the winter in the pink of
condition, • ’hy not make a continued
sffort to keep up that glowing health
all through the year.
Watch Your Winter Diet
Just because the cool snap stimu
lates your appetite, you don’t have
to fill up on sweets, starches and
other heavy foods. The fact that
you get less exercise in winter is all
the more reason to avoid the more
fattening foods. Once you get ac
enstomed to the idea, you’ll find a
baked apple as satisfying nnd sus
taining ns a deep-dish pie, and a
good deal more healthful.
And, too, there’s no need to give
up exercise entirely just because it
is too late for swimming, tennis and
'lie usual out-door sports. There
is no one form of exercise more gen
erally beneficial than walking. If
you can't find time during the day
in take a walk, get up a bit earlier
and walk to work or part way down
town. Or go for a brisk walk after
dinner. Hardly anything induces
sleep better than a walk in the cool
air at bedtime. And speaking of
bedtime, don’t let the round of win
ter gnyety rob you of your much
needed sleep. Make !t a rule to get
eight hours’ sleep every night. If
you are out too late one night to
get your full quota of sleep, go to
bed an hour or two earlier the next
night to make up. Nothing lias a
more ruinous effect on a woman’s
face than lack of sleep and, carried
to an extreme, it will make you look
years older.
you were pronnmy a good near
more particular about scrubbing
your face, too, tills summer. When
the weather is hot am sticky, it is
a real pleasure to splash about in
soap and water; but don’t let 1 lie
chilly blasts deter you. Your fac*
actually geis much dirtier in the
winter with all the soot and dirt in
the air so it is even more important
that you should keep it well
cleansed. Be sure to get your skin
thoroughly dry, however, after each
washing because this is the season
we start our war against chapping.
In my next column I am going to
give you some tips on protecting
your skin from the qlements.
In the meantime remember that
your beauty is dependent upon your
health. Eat a sensible diet, taka
some form of exercise, get plenty
j of sleep and you’ll find your eyes
I brighter, your hair shinier, and your
spirits higher than you had dared
to hope.
What are your beauty prob
lems? Write Marie Downing,
Larieuse Beauty Foundation,
Room 521—319 North Fourth
St., St. Louis, Mo., and she will
be glad to answer them. Be sure
to enclose a self-addressed

TRANSCAUCASIAN FEDERATED
REPUBLICS
Lying between the Black Sea and
fie Caspian Sea, and separating Eu
lopean Russia from Turkey and Iran
(Persia) in Asia Minor, is a strip of
territory that formerly belonged in
part to,the Russian and Turkish Em
pires respectively. After the Russian
Revolution and the formation of the
Soviet Union this area was subdivided
kito the semi-autonomous republics of
DEORGIA, ARMENIA and AZER
BAIJAN. These three, together, com
prise the autonomous group that is
known as the TRANSCAUCASIAN
FEDERATED REPUBLICS,
i "While these so-called “republics”
ketualiy have a certain amount of
Jocal self-government, yet they owe
Jllegiiyice to the Soviet government
in Moscow and stamps of the Soviet
Union have been in use there ever
since 1923.
During the formative period from
1919 to 1923, however, a great many
provisional stamps were issued is
these Federated Republics. In Ar
menia alone upwards of 400 major
varieties (not to mention dozens of
minor ones) are listed in Scott’s Post
age Stamp Catalogue. Prices vary
widely, many stamps having only a
nominal value, while others are listed
as high as $175.00 each. There seems
to be very little demand for thess
stamps among American collectors,
probably because most of the really
desirable items are surcharged Rus
sian stamps of the pre-revolutionary
era. At auction these stamps usually
bring but a small fraction of their
catalogue price, thus creating a fer
tile field for siHicudists. ’J
