Mouish Cotruras QUANTITIES of puffs and curls, and all sorts of little head-dresses, continue to mark the coifure of milady of fashion when she prepares, to 'do honor to a state occasion, or to dress with dignity. This elaboration in hair dressing is very becoming in the majority of cases, and those women who have once tried it realize the charm of it. Only the grand beauty may turn her back upon careful arrangement of the hair and still be as attractive as her artfully groomed sister who knows the fascination of soft curls and smooth puffs. Unless one has plenty of time and some one to help out, the natural hair can hardly be arranged in the manner shown in the illustrations. No matter how gherous nature may have been, puffs and curls are, as a rule, plinned on. More man may long to believe them growing on the head of her. he admires, but when the knowledge dawns on him that they do not, he still confesses to their fascination. Not everyone can accomplish a successful coiffure either simple or complex, and it is therefore a good plan to decide upon a becoming model, just as one decides upon a becoming hat. When so much progress has been made, the next step takes one to beddressing establishment with FOR LITTLE MAIDS. New models of cheviot and Hen rletta cloth for little maids of six. Dressing for Work In the food and raiment 'brigade, the "do-your own-work" mothers have a hard time keeping themselves present in the eyes of their families. They must wear faded things sometimes, and they cannot spare much of the early morning time for beautifying. Still it is possible for the houseworkers to do one accessory that never fails to freshen and improve the toilet. This is a plain white collar, which costs nothing and requires only a moment to adjust. When the career of white shirt waistwats is ended, front plats, tucked lengths and those of insertion should be cut out, leaving sufficient plain material to hem over the upper edge, so as to avoid scratching the neck. They should be two inches in width and the neck length. Trimming at the Neck. Fur is never used around the neck of an evening gown, which always blends as closely as possible with the fit of it shoulders. lines of the subway If trimming is added at all it is in fast bands and flesh-scolled tulle or chiffon is often laid in around the decolletage to soften the dividing line between hair, flesh and fabric: instructions to the hairdresser to copy the model. If time is precious the coifure may be manufactured and simply plinned on. But the indy of lésure may achieve her coifure by having her own hair curled and puffed. This undertaking is much more difficult than that of plinking on the made coifure. Bands, decorated with embroideries and gorgeous with gold and jewels, predominate in hair ornaments. There are many other decorations, however, most of them designed to glitter or twinkle in the lights that shine by night. A plain ribbon or velvet band, finished with a bow and the shell harriette are favorites for day wear. No one should neglect to notice the little fringe of curls that nestle about the neck in many of the new styles. A curlless colure is hardly to be found, but the curls are placed wherever they will do the most good—that is, wherever they are found to be most effective in enhancing the beauty or the style of their wearer. In the matter of the colure every woman should lay to her heart that French adage which runs: "There is nothing so beautiful as care." Careful hairdressing works wonders and in itself is immensely attractive. BOTTOM LEFT. Few implements Needed, the Chief Thing Being Constant Care and Attention. You can, train yourself to be your own manicure; there is no need to buy a book on the subject, nor is an elaborately-fitted manicure case, necessary. Four implements surface, and in fact three are all that are absolutely required—a pair of nail scissors, a nail file and a chamois-covered polisher will answer all purposes, but an orange stick may be added for keeping the cuticle or scarf-skin, back from the nail. The nails should be kept just the length of the fingers and trimmed in an oval curve. After trimming the nails, push the scarf-skin down closely about the base, so that the lunula—commonly called the "half moon"—shows distinctly. If the nails have been neglected, it will take time and patience to get them right; but a few weeks' attention daily will accomplish wonders. If the scarf-skin has grown upon the nail, do not trim it off, but push it carefully back, using the rounded tip of the file; if necessary, lift the skin from the nail, but avoid breaking it. A little polishing powder may be used once or twice a week and a light rubbing with the chamois polisher every day gives the finishing touch to manicuring. Modish Evening Frocks. One may be smart and well gowned this season without a great outlay of money, though a large percentage of the gowns for evening wear are of extreme elegance and of a startling price, thanks to the exquisite materials used and the beautiful embroideries so lavishly set upon diaphanous tulle, chiffons, etc. tunes, chants.

MORE TOMBOY GIRLS Scott Nearling of University of penn- sylvania. Says Emancipation of Philadelphia.—More girls should be tombays—only through a physical and industrial development may woman herself." hope to emulate her work. This is the theory advanced by Scot Nearing of the faculty of the Wharton school of the University of Pennsylvania, in a book he will publish soon upon "Social Adjustment." "The city woman's physical durability, says Mr. Nearling. 'Is the culmination of a misdirected training begun in youth. Boys are taught to go out and play rough games and romp and develop physically, girls on the other hand, are expected to stay at home and be 'ladylike'. If a boy does not soil and tour his clothes he is a 'sis'. If a girl does soil her clothes and romp she is a 'tomboy'. It is as disgraceful for a boy to atrophy physically as it is for a girl to develop physically. "The development of the girl's body should be begun and carried on at the same time and on the same basis as the development of the boy's body. Their plays should be equally arduous, until the age of twelve at least. There is no justification for denying to girls the physical development provided for boys, making them weaklings before the age when there is any physical differentiation due to sex development. Already this truth is being realized and the omnicipated women of the United States are emanclating the bodies of their daughters, by putting them in 'rompers' and sending them in a role with the boys. out to pinyin with the "Every normal being should engage in some form of constructive occupation. The woman is no exception, and the education of the woman of the future should include not only effective physical development; and an adequate training in self-knowledge, but also a training that will enable her to fill some position in life and fill it well. Home life is narrowing and unless supplemented by education leads to the life in 'social sets' so disastrous to the development of individual." development 6. N. Mearning adds that there are five groups of women who should always be engaged in some form of gainful occupation. He classifies these groups as follows: "First, girls between the end of their schooling and their marriage. "Second, women who are suffering from any transmissible disease or defect should be absolutely denied the privileges of motherhood and should therefore, spend their adult lives in some form of industrial occupation. "In the third place, women who are geniuses—perhaps one in ten thousand—and the social value of whose careers would be lessened by motherhood should continue their chosen vocation. "Fourth, a large, group of young wives during the first two or three years of wifehood have no children should by all means begin or continue some productive occupation, principally, as Doctor Patten has pointed out because of the addition to the husband's income; but also for self-development. opinion. "In the fifth place, women who at middle age send their last child to college or to work and have no exacting right to the home." Juices in the "If woman is to mean all that she OSTRICHES ON GERMAN FARM well may mean in the future, she must engage in some form of occupation—if she is capable, in motherhood; if not, then certainly in industry—she must be trained to take her place in the world and to perform her occupation efficiently, and she must realize that occupation and achievement and character are a trilune which complements each other and make for the highest and best in life." WANTS THOUSANDS OF CATS Rancher in State of Washington Will Use Them in Ridding His Orchards of Pests. Spokane, Wash.—Albert J. Randall, a rancher of Okanogan county, Wash., who recently placed an order for 1,000 cats with S. S. Gilbert of Sharon, Pa., is recycling his mail in barrels at Connolly these days. The writers, who represent practically every state and province in America, say they will supply all the cats needed if Randall will pay the express and cartage charges. Randall has taken up the work on behalf of orchardists and farmers in north central Washington, who believe they can rid the county of gophers and other ground posts by turning cats loose on the land. He will visit various districts in Pennsylvania, making headquarters at Sharon, whence a consignment of 7,000 felines will start across the continent in April. Gilbert and a score of volunteers have promised to assist, in rounding up all the Hagenbock Tries Experiment Which Proves Success—Birds Gneltered Only From Wind. Berlin.—In Hamburg, a town which experiences a cold-winter, the breeding of a tropical bird such as the ostrich has just proved to be not only possible, but profitable. In the course of a tour of the German zoological gardens Dr. Chalmers Mitchell, secretary of the British Zoological society, has just paid a visit to Curl Hagenbeck's ostrich farm at Hamburg, in company with Seth Smith, the zoo's curator of birds. "This ostrich farm," said Dr. Mitchell, "is undoubtedly the most remarkable zoological experiment of modern times. Mr. Hagenbeck went to the experienced manager of an ostrich farm, and engaged him to start a farm. 'Where is it to be?' asked the expert. In Hamburg,' was the reply. The astonished manager, though polite, almost hinted his doubts of Mr. Hagenbeck's sanity." However, the farm was started on some blank flat fields—eight or nine acres in all—fenced into separate paddocks and stocked with eighty or ninety birds. The fields were, sown with lucerne, on which the birds fed freely, and their diet was supplemented with crushed bonus, boiled maze In the center is a big shed, in which the birds feed and shelter, but the deers and windows remain open. This shed is carpeted with peat moss and is divided into small "cubicles." A great incubator batches the eggs taking the place of the tropical sun and the young birds run about on miniature Sahara of sand. "When we saw the farm," said I. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVE, ID. O.

Atomizer Used Monclair, N. J.—A New Jersey dairyman recently was brought to a realization of the presence of dust in his otherwise perfectly appointed barn. Thereupon he ordered that the tail of each cow be sprayed with an atomizer containing filtrated water. Now when the cows sweep their tails while the milking is under way there is no likelihood of their switching the contaminating dust into the palls. Seventeen Warships for $335,000 Parls.—Seventeen French warships of all ages, shapes and sizes were sold at auction at Toulon. The total sum realized was $35,000.

Increase in Land Values. Aurora, Neb.—The average 1910 price for a quarter section of land in this vicinity was $25,000. Ten years ago the average price was $4,000, and 20 years ago it was $1,600. N GERMAN FARM Mitchell, "there were forty or fifty young birds, some nearly full grown, and all bred at Hamburg. There was a fine show of feathers, for which good prices could be obtained. The whole farm was a most eloquent sermon on the value of fresh air as opposed to mero-heat." Dr. Mitchell said he saw no reason why equally good results should not be possible in other countries. "You must have an experienced manager," he said, "a dry, sandy soil, in a spot preferably, sheltered on the north and east, and then there is no reason why an ostrich farm should not be made to pay." Thirty Caterpillars Each Day Provide Only Ordinary Meal for a Small Green Beetle. Washington.—The house committee on agriculture has discovered that the green beetle, the tree-climbing variety, will kill about thirty caterpillars a day.

In our last issue we mentioned the fact that through the efforts of Congressman E. L. Taylor of Columbus, Ohio, our public schools of the District of Columbia were well taken care of in the annual estimates submitted to Congress. However, when the bill, making appropriations for the District of Columbus, was under consideration by the Congressman Johnson (dem.) of Kentucky raised points of order and had stricken from the bill the following items: $75,000 for a normal school for our pupils; $40,000 for a site for our normal school. No. 2; toward the construction of a normal school building for our pupils to cost not exceeding $200,000 on a site previously appropriated or for the work of the site approximately 15,000 square feet, and the erection thereof of a six-room manual training school building, $54,000; and the purchase of a site for a new M-Street manual high school, $60,000. While at the instance of Mr. Johnson the foregoing items were stricken from the bill, the items making appropriations for improvements and additions to the work of the site are left intact. This will not permit the building of any new schools or additions to old ones, so badly needed by our people at the Nation's capital. MORE "JIMCROW" FOR OHIO R. A. Longman (white), visiting agent for the Cincinnati Children's home, is the leader in a movement to "jimrow" Ohio's Afro-American dependent children. Not satisfied with the too numerous color lines in his home city, he would cover the state with one huge one, at least. Securing the endorsement of the state conference of charities and correction, or which will provide up to $1 billion which provides for a state industrial home for our children only and has at least one man (white) in every county of the state where there are any number of our people, working (on them particularly) in favor of it. The establishment of such a home would enable all the county or city superintendents of charities and correction of Ohio to send their Afro-American dependent children out of the state this "jimrow" state home) and thus get rid of them, leaving their local institutions for white children only. This would to remain the white dependent home-city or county while our would have to be sent away to some distant part of the state, away from local news and relatives. Spread the news and warning throughout Ohio, so our people will thoroughly understand Longman's role in the state and be foiled into accepting or enduring it. Recent dispatches to daily papers announce that he will go to papers shortly and appear in person before the legislature and that he has hopes that the bill will be enacted into law at the present session. By the terms of Longman's bill a commission is to have the power to state the state in to not less than 200 acres. This body is to include the governor, the state auditor and three citizens, appointed by the governor. After the site has been chosen and necessary buildings, with equipment secured, the whole is to be transferred to a board of five trustees, who will be hold responsible for the management. After the institution is in operation the state county institution. And right here is where we find "the milk in the coconut" no-colored children will be permitted to be kept in any country institution but all must be sent away —from home, local friends and relatives, with no more regard for them than if they were not human beings. This, if Longman's "state industrial home for colored children" is ever established. There is no need for command for the state county institution, establishment of which not only be a foolish waste of the state money, but also contrary to the very spirit of Ohio's Civil Rights' law and other laws and customs of the grand old "Buckeye state." Longman and his prejudice white and "jimrow" assistants have been struggling for more than a year to create among our people a demand for his hobby, and has ignored the protests that were filed with him on his personal request last year when he first broached the insulting and un-American scheme to various members of the race, the editor of The Gazette being among the number. Just why the state of Ohio, on the suggestion of one man too, and contrary to the right and the wishes of the best of the class, should be asked to assume this unnecessary, sorcigation hobby-hurden, wasting thousands of the tax-payers' hard-earned money, is strange to say the least. Then too, such action on the part of the Assembly would be class legislation, pure and simple, and we unbelieve constitutional. But we sincerely trust that our people of Ohio, always loyal and faithful to the state and country, will be spared the humiliation of ever having this silly and uncalled-for Longman notion or hobby introduced and aired in the Legislature of the Commonwealth. Surely no broad-minded, intelligent legislator will knowingly so insult so large a number of citizens of Ohio. Kill the Longman bill, if possible, before even the Legislative hopper is burdened with so unnecessary, insulting and unAmerican a thing. ODD. FELLOWS—POLITICS. Grand Master Morris Nails a Political Lie That Is Going the Rounds of the Race Press. Chicago, Jan. 30, 1911. Friend Smith: The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is not now and never has been a political organization. No official, as such, of the Odd Fellows has anything to do with even undertaking to say what the vast membership of the order will or should do when voting day comes around. The Odd Fellows have the member's consideration, and the order has nothing to do with it. These things being true, it is wholly unnecessary for me to to say, any one of the 600,000 Odd Fellows in America that no one of the S. C. M. has undertaken to any one the Odd Fellows vote. And now to be specific for the especial benefit of a few brightened ones who have lived so long under the shaded roofs of American coworkers that they voice his *nightmares* and day scares, I have this to say in reply to yours of the 28th instar: "I never pledged, undertested, Tat, or any other one else, either my own or any other person's vote or the votes of the Odd Fellows, and no one has ever requested me so to do."

Thompson also alleges Mr. Thompson, both of whom are Afro-Americans, is suing her for divorce at Chicago. Her attorney instructed the Sheriff to 300 feet of belongings to Mrs. Schoreder pending the result of the damage suit. "DOING SPLENDID WORK." Grass Valley, Orc., Feb. 2, '11.

An altercation in the Mission restaurant of Sherman H. Moody, at 202 Central Ave, at 3 o'clock last Friday morning furnished the setting for gun and knife play. Two of the alleged participants found cells in police station. Miss Julia McCulough, 3260 E 123rd St., has been working for Moody as a waitress. Mrs. Roberta Terrell has been helping Moody. Mrs. Terrell, it is alleged, attempted to discharge Miss McCulough, Moody taking the girl's part. Mrs. Terrell drew a knife, it is said, and cut Moody, who, with Mrs. Terrell in pursuit, took to his heels. Then Moody is said to have opened fire on his pursuer with a revolver. A bullet shattered the frame of a moto on the wall, another put a crushing to floor, while the third phone was way up. Moody run to Charity hospital. He had been slashed across the "posterior." After he had been patched up by surgeons he was arrested on a charge of shooting to wound. In the meantime Mrs. Terrell had been arrested on a charge of cutting to wound. Our Chauffeurs' Club held a "smoker" Monday evening in their pretty rooms at No. 3012 Central Ave. that was attended by over 200 members and friends. There was plenty of punch, light lunch, cigars, cigarettes, and games; and music galore by Fairfax's orchestra. About 9 p. m. Mr. Earl Parker, chairman of the club's house committee, called for order and introduced the president, T. L. Christopher, who opened the talkfest feature of the evening's entertainment, in a most facetious manner indeed, and then introduced in the order named, Messrs. L. G. Adkins, Patrolman Hughes, W. H. Hunley and the editor of The Gazette, all of whom were most enthusiastically received. The first three made excellent practical talks. President Christopher's reference to the last speaker, in his speech, was to the Cleveland Chauffeurs' Club" compelled the editor, during the course of his remarks, to give first honor and credit to Mrs. M. Hunter who did and has done so very much for the organization. This drew forth a storm of applause in appreciation of the little lady that made everybody feel mighty; good indeed. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's address, all returned to their games, conversation, etc., while the orchestra did the rest, until a late hour. The "smoker" was a perfect success. Their Annual Dinner. The Junior Stags gave their annual dinner to L. G. Adkins' restaurant. February 1. Along with this sumptuous repast, Messrs. Warren and Page had provided a little surprise for the Junior Stags. In place of the regulation orchestra Miss Helen Banks presided at the piano and Mrs. R. Warren, dramatic reader, gave a few of her choice selections, and the Junior Stags were highly entertained, too. OPPOSED TO SEPARATE Y. M. C. A. The following resolutions were introduced at a recent meeting of the Hawatha club by Mrs. J. M. Gilmere, unanimously adopted by that organization and ordered published in The Gazette: Whereas, There is an effort on foot to establish a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. in the city of Cleveland and Whereas. A number of our leading and progressive citizens, knowing it to be a retrograding step, oppose it, Wheres. We know that establishing such a separate institution in the city of Cleveland, and giving our sanction, will only lead to separate schools, separate cars; certain resident-localities and every other separation in the life THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1911 Therefore be it resolved, That we as members of the Hiawatha club, and mothers of the young men to suffer by such a separation, and well-wishers of all young men of the race, naturally interested in their advancement, intellectually, socially and otherwise, do place themselves on record as being bitterly opposed to such a step, believing it to be very derimental, and amplified for in this city. Do it further resolved, That we report very deeply that there are those in our city who are so short-sighted, or indifferent to the welfare of the race in general, as to advocate such a step. Resolved. That if such a step continue to be advocated, that we, as members of this club, do best ourselves to awaken every mother and woman in Cleveland, to offer protest which it is our imperative duty to do as mothers, guarding, and well-wishers of the boys who will be greatly affected by such a backward movement. A PROTEST FROM THE OLD FOLKS' HOME. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: I expect you will think it strange my writing to you, but I feel well acquainted with you, and I read your paper. In regard to the "jinchow" Y, M, C, A. I think it is the most fondly known I have ever heard of, and the idea of having one on Central AV, the worst street in the city of Cleveland. If they want to do a Christian act, they should at least come and look at the Old Folks' Home in E, 30th St., they is almost falling down. Why don't they club together and do something for their old talk? The young men can get all the Christian family they want in the church. It is a shame the way the Association is a club together for the Old Folks' Home, and then have no help to speak of. Mrs. (President) Madison was a slave, it is said, and born in Kentucky, and not ashamed to own it. Every one in this home was a slave, and it is not their fault if they cannot read and write. If the "jimrow" Y. M. C. N. advocates would only think a little, they would know that they are giving the prejudiced whites "a club with which to break their heads." by wanting a separate Y. M. C. A. "Let them alone" and the first thing we know they will have "jimrow" cars and schools here. While we are all in ingress, why do they want to bring an division? There is enough discrimination down south and here, now, without our adding to it, I went out to "Tech" High School last week Monday and saw the student-colored and white, all together. The Colored members of the Central Y. M. C. A. here now. Why don't the "jimrow" Negroes let well enough alone? Yours truly, MRS. SOPHIA MAIDSON. (One of the old ladies in the Horace.) Last Sunday's program was perhaps the most popular and best of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra season thus far. Miss Wyers, piano solist and Felix Hughes, bassist, received a single and double chorus respectively.
