THE GAZETTE THIRTIETH YEAR. NO In a midwinter thunderstorm of unprecedented severity, lightning struck a large barg on the farm of Mrs. Anna B. Smith, near Georgetown, IH, killing two horses and burning the building. A riot took place in the house of representatives of the Wyoming legislature, with Speaker Pratt and Speaker Pro Tem. Wood both claiming to preside. A violent fight, interrupted by members, took place between the two officers. Scenes of violence lasted fully three-quarters of an hour. ed fully three AT HOME AND ABROAD Detetetive was shot th by a man ("Toddii") Detective Peter Hart of Chicago was shot through the heart and killed by a man identified as Robert ("Teddy") Webb, whom he was seeking to arrest as an automobile bandit. The shooting occurred in a flat where the detective had gone to obtain information about the bandit. A lone bandit riffed the mail car of Southern railway passenger train No. 12, near Riverside, Ala., and escaped with what is said to be valuable registered packages. Rev. Richard W. E. Merington, a protestant Episcopal minister of Essex Falls, N. J., brother of Marguerite Merington, playwright, drew a razor down his left arm from elbow to wrist in New York. Despondency due to ill health is ascribed as the cause of his act. His wound was not fatal. The steamer Uranium, which grounded on the rocks near Halifax, N. S., has been floated. Her passengers were taken off shortly after she struck. The final chapter in the celebrated Schenk case was written when Judge Kersey, at Wheeling, W. Va., handed down a decision giving John C. Schenk an absolute divorce from his wife, Laura Farnsworth Schenk. Schenk also was given the custody of the children. Rev, H, Percy Silver lacked two votes of enough to confirm his appointment as bishop coadjutor of Kansas, it is announced by Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church of America, and the diocese of Kansas may call the election null and proceed to a new choice. Governor Oddie in his message to the Nevada legislature recommends the abolition of the Reno divorce colony by amending the law to make legal residence in the state one year, instead of six months. He also recommends abolition of present prize fight statute allowing finish fights, fixing limit as to number of rounds. Forty masked night riders visited the home of John Shannon, a prominent planter, dragged him from bed and lashed him until he was nearly dead. It is alleged the band gave as the reasons for whipping Shannon that he had not properly conducted himself in his household. Other persons have been attacked, and there is a panic among persons living near Dalton, Ga. The Cumberland river steamer Lochie S. ran across the Lousville & Nashville tracks, which are about four feet under water at Cumberland City, Ky., just in time to meet a freight train. Before the train could be stopped the engine had stove a hole in the side of the steamer, sinking her across the tracks. A family quarrel over the terms of an agreement whereby John Fisher, fifty-seven years old, deeded to his son-in-law, Stanley Dobies, the family home and grocery store, 193 Lake view avenue, Clifton, N. J., ended in Fisher killing his wife Julia, fifty-four years old; mortally wounding his daughter, twenty years old, and committing suicide. Second trial of Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago, charged with jury bribery, has begun in Los Angeles, in the supreme court. Politics The Rhode Island legislature elected Le Baron B. Colt, judge of the United States court of appeals for the First judicial district, to the United States senate, to succeed George Peabody Wetmore. George W. Norris, congressman from the Fifth district, was elected United States senator by the unanimous vote of the Nebraska legislature. The Minnesota legislature returned Knute Nelson to the United States senate. United States Senator William S. Kenyon was re-elected on the joint ballot of the Iowa legislature. The Oklahoma legislature in joint session re-elected United States Senator Robert L. Owen. Foreign Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro have presented an ultimatum to Turkey, giving the Ottoman government fourteen days in which to make favorably reply to their demands. Raymond Polnare, premier of the cabinet for the past year, was elected president of the French republic in the national assembly at Versailles. He will not assume office until February 18, as President Falleri's term does not expire until that date. --- THE UNION INDEPENDENCE NEWS OF A WEEK IN CONDENSED FORM RECORD OF MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS TOLD IN BRIEFEST MANNER POSSIBLE. Happenings That Are Making History —Information Gathered From All Quarters of the Globe and Given in a Few Lines. Washington "Free meat," proposed by the house Democrats at the last session of congress, but blocked by a presidential veto, was indicated as part of the extra session of congress tariff revision program at the hearing before the house committee on ways and means. "The United States either should submit the Panama free toll question to impartial arbitration or retire from the position we have taken," was the declaration of Senator Root, in the United States senate in a speech favoring repeal of the free toll provision of the new Panama canal act. The gunboat Wheeling has been ordered to Vera Cruz, Mexico, to protect Americans in the critical situation which has arisen there. The attempt of the seven Osage Indian councillors deposed by Secretary Fisher to force their reinstatement by mandamus proceedings failed when the District of Columbia supreme court dismissed their petition. The secretary removed them for granting a lease to the Uncle Sam Oil company. The Rockefeller Foundation incorporation bill passed the house at Washington by a decisive majority, although several attacks were made on it and efforts were made to adjourn the session to delay action on the bill. With the declaration that this country had reached practically its meat production limit, Daniel J. Haley of the United Master Butchers' association, urged the ways and means committee in Washington to take all duties off meats, that the home production could be reinforced by importations from Argentina or elsewhere. Following a vigorous fight upon it, led by Senator La Follette, the conference immigration bill was rejected by the senate because of a clause which it was asserted would exclude a majority of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Roumania. The bill went back to conference, which will be asked to eliminate the feature. --- Regulation by the interstate commerce commission of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and not the compulsory competitive provisions of the Sherman ant-trust law, will be the means of solving in large measure the so-called telephone trust problem, according to Attorney General Wickersham. . . . Members of the United States Chamber of Commerce, gathered in Washington for the annual meeting of that organization, conferred with Secretary Nagel and others as to means by which the association can follow out its avowed purpose to act in an advisory capacity to congress. * * * The fight between the interior department and the Uncle Sam Oil company and members of the tribal council of the Osage Indians who were deposed recently by Secretary Fisher, and whose actions have been referred to the department of justice for investigation, has been thrust upon the attention of congress and the courts in Washington. Domestic Col. Schuyler Crosby, veerer of the Civil war and former governor of Montana and a noted Indian fighter, narrowly escaped death in New York when he was attacked by S. Iwamage, his Japanese valet, whose mind is said to be affected. Colonel Crosby, who is recovering from a short illness, leaped from his bed when the valet rushed at him with a large knife. Fire which destroyed a large part of the business section of Larned, Kan., caused a loss of $200,000. Seven buildings in the main street were destroyed. Harry H. Sutro, a young man employed by a water filtering company, but who also had literary aspirations, cut them short by jumping from a seventh story window of an apartment house in New York. Nine passengers were injured when the Canadian Western express struck a spreading rail and was ditched eight miles west of Wynard, Sask. M. J. Johnson and his son, W. S. Johnson, of 2437 South Emerson avenue, Minneapolis, were among the injured. The United States broke its export and import records in 1912. Imports last year were valued at $1,817,622,340, as against $1,532,529,160 in 1911, while the 1912 exports were $2,399,995,937, or about $500,000,000 more than the 1911 record. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1913. IN DEFENSE OF MISS ANNIE SMOOT CAPITAL SOCIAL SET'S GREATEST BEAUTY CAPITAL SOCIAL SET'S GREATEST BEAUTY MANY JEWELS AT MRS. DRAPER'S BALL DR. CARL ALSBERG SUCCEEDS DR. WILEY Some sort of a society jenkins announced that Miss Anie Smoot, who society jenkins an- anie Smoot, who will make her debut in Washington this winter, "has forced Washington society to face a problem," and then goes on to remark that the highly conventional dawagers of the official set will scarcely be able to reconcile themselves to associating with it when their daughter, a be back in Washington this winter, "has forced Washington society to face a problem," and then goes on to remark that the highly conventional dowagers of the official set will scarcely be able to reconcile themselves to associating w it h their daughter, a young woman who is avowedly a Mormon, and who has forbears elders of the church in Utah long before there was a pretense of giving up bigamy. As a matter of fact, Miss Smoot, who is a very pretty and very bright girl, has been living in Washington for a number of years, attended school, and has grown into young womanhood right in the circle of the young ladies who will make their bow to the public this winter. She never has been snubbed, and I do not supose anybody has stopped to think whether she was a Mormon, Pagan, Catholie, or Cambellite, Polygamous Mormonism is long since a dead letter, and pretty Miss Smoot has not a thing on earth to do with it, and just why, as she is blooming into young womanhood, she should be the No result of the recent election is so gratifying to a larger number of recent election is larger number of Washington people as the election of young Peter Gerry of Rhode Island, to a seat in the lower house.

Apart from the charming personality of this young couple their names recall many important chapters of history. Mr. Gerry represents the sixth generation of his name to figure in the national annals and his friends predict that as a lawmaker he will add new laurels to the name. He comes in direct line with the signer, Eldridge Gerry of Marblehead, Mass., a member of the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1780, a commissioner sent by the infant republic to France in 1789, governor of Massachusetts and vice-president of the United States from 1813 to 1814. Mr. Gerry is one of the long line of vice-presidents who died in office. Eldridge Thomas Gerry, the distinguished lawyer and philanthropist, is his grandfather. In Mrs. Gerry, formerly Miss Mathilde Townsend, centers much interesting political history con- Mrs. William F. Draper of Washing- ton, who is noted for the lavish- ton. Taper of training for the avishness of her Christmas costume balls, entertained at an eighteenth century ball the other night which surpassed all which she has previously given. It has been renamed the "Pearl" ball on account of the display of priceless jewels worn with the Louis XV cos- costume balls, entertained at an eighteenth century ball the other night which surpassed all which she has previously given. It has been renamed the "Pearl" ball on account of the display of priceless jewels worn with the Louis XV costumes of the hostess and her guests. Mrs. Draper wore $500,000 worth of pearls, which included a five-pointed tiar of pear-shaped pearls, some of them as large as a small pear, earrings and collar of pearls, a fourstrand necklace, besides a long strand of pearls, which hung from her shoulders nearly to the bottom of her gown, a corsage ornament of pearls and a stomacher which covered her waist and hips and was described by one of her guests as a coat without sleeves. Mrs. Draper was gowned in the costume of a court lady of the Louis XV period, and wore beneath the pearls a costume of white satin with broad stripes of black velvet. Although many of the jewels worn were priceless, it is estimated that more than $1,500,000 in pearls were Following instructions from President Taft, Secretary of Agriculture Orry or Agriculture Wilson the other appointed by Dr Carl Burel chief of the bureau of the bureau of chemistry, the position vacated last spring by Dr. H. W. Wiley. A. The vacancy in the bureau of chemistry made by the resignation of Dr. Wiley has been filled since March 15 last by Dr. R. E. Doolittle, formerly in charge of the New York food laboratory of the department. It has been thought in many quarters that the appointment of Dr. Doolittle as permanent chief of the bureau would be made. It was also reported and cur- subject of social ostracism is not understandable. Senator and Mrs. Smoot move in the very best society in Washington. He has but one wife, and never had but one, and he says so. It is true that back of Miss Smoot she has had some grandfathers who were polygamous Mormons. Her father's father, Abraham Smoot, had several wives. One of them was a Norwegian girl, and she gave birth to the present apostle, Miss Annie's father. The debentuate has two sisters and three brothers. When Senator Smoot was made an apostle of the Mormon church, and elected to the United States senate in 1904, an attempt was made by certain women's organizations to have him expelled from the senate on the ground that he was a member of a corporation that believed in polygamy. It was even charged that the senator himself had three wives, but the charge was not proven. Senator Smoot's wife was formerly Miss Alpha Eldridge. She was "Alpha and Omega, the first and the last," so the husband told his accusers. Some time previously the Mormons elected Brigham H. Roberts to congress. He had several wives. The house of representatives rejected him, on the ground that he practiced polygamy, and none of his daughters were received in Washington society. But with Miss Annie Smoot the proposition is entirely different. Her father is not a polygamous Mormon. She is well qualified for social duties. nected with the dawn of the railroad importance of the lake country of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, through her grandfather's connection with the Pennsylvania system and later as a member of congress. Beauty as a divine attribute and the most desirable possession which a daughter of Eve can hope, is however more associated with any consideration of Mrs. Gerry than her intimate relation to hispy past and present. She is by universal consent one of the rarely beautiful women of her era and at the time of her presentation to society, she created a furore here and abroad. She is of that blonde spirituelle type, slender graceful with pure gold hair and the deepest of azure eyes. Her expression is rather pensive, something which adds to the charm of her calm Madonna-like demeanor. An only child of parents who idolized her and eventual coheir with her cousin, Mrs. Ronalds of New York, of the vast estate left by William L. Scott of Erie, she was most carefully educated at home under specially selected teachers. Her childhood and girlhood were passed here, and Washingtonians feels an especial pride in all that relates to her future. Mr. and Mrs. Gerry were married in the spring of 1906, and among the 200 official guests included the president and his wife, as well as 200 out-of-town guests. worn by Mrs. Draper and her guests. Miss Margaret Draper was gowned in the fashion of a young woman of the court of Louix XV, and wore a strand of pearls around her neck which is more valuable than any other neckace of its kind in the world. These pearls were given to Miss Draper by the Dowager Queen Margherita of Italy, who is her godmother. Miss Draper was born in Rome while her father was American ambassador to Italy, and Queen Margherita gave her one of the priceless pearls which are her pride. She has added to them each year, always taking care to pick out those with interesting history or of intrinsic value. Among other women who opened their jewelry caskets to wear their pearls were Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, wife of the secretary of the treasury, whose pearls, like her emeralds, have been carefully selected by a lapidist who travels all over the world for the purpose. Mrs. Joseph Leiter wore the gift of Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter, a companion strand to those of the Duchess of Suffolk, the late Lady Curzon and Mrs. Colin Campbell of England, daughters of Mrs. Leiter. Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, who made a personal canvass of Europe in search of the pearls for her strand; Mme. Hauge, Mrs. Richardson Clover and Miss Eudore Clover, all added to the beauty of the "pearl" ball. rently accepted as true that there would be no appointment of a permanent chief during the present administration. It is understood that Dr. Doolittle, on finishing his term as acting chief, will return to the charge of the New York laboratory. Dr. Alsberg is the son of a chemist and grew up in an atmosphere of chemistry. His early education was obtained in private schools in New York city, and in 1892 he entered Columbia university, receiving the A. B. degree in 1896. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia university, receiving his M. D. degree in 1900 and the degree of A. M. from the university during the same year. He then went to Germany, and during the period from 1900 to 1903 he took graduate work in the University of Strassburg along the lines of pharmacology, physiological chemistry and internal medicine. MISS HELENE STALLO A. Miss Helene Stallo, younger daughter of the wealthy Edmund K. Stallo of Cincinnati, is to be married on February 3 to Prince Michel Murat, descendant of the famous marshal of France. YIELD TO THE DEMANDS OF THE EUROPEAN POWERS. Cede Adrianople to Balkan Allies and Leave to Nations Question of Disposal of Aegan Islands. Constantinople, Turkey. — Yielding to the demands of the powers, which it now appears amounted to nothing less than an ultimatum, the grand council of the Ottoman empire decided to cede the fortress of Adrianople to the Balkan allies and to leave to the powers the question of the disposal of Aegan islands. This, it is believed, will lead to the resumption of the peace conference in London immediately and an early termination thereof with the allies complete victors in the war with Turkey and in the diplomatic conflict that followed it, without further bloodshed. The powers' note, parts of which were made public, was composed in the strongest terms. "The government (Turkey)," said the note, "would only have itself to blame if the prolongation of the war had as a consequence to put in question the fate of the capital and perhaps to extend hostilities to the Asiatic provinces of the empire. In that case the Turkish government could not count on the success of the efforts of the powers to preserve it from dangers against which they had already warned it and which they once more warned it to avoid." The powers then reminded the porte that after the conclusion of peace it would need the moral and material support of the powers to recover from the effects of the war. The powers intimated that Turkey would be unable even to develop the only territory left to her unless she had the benevolent support of the powers and it was plainly stated that Turkey could not expect such support unless she deferred to the counsel of the powers. Basing the final territorial settlement on the geographical outlines suggested by the powers, Turkey is left only the district surrounding Constantinople, the peninsula of Gallipoli and a narrow strip along the Sea of Marmora and the Dardanelles. BANK ACCOUNT FOR BABIES Plan is Put Into Force by Directors of Financial Institution in West Haven, Connecticut. New Haven, Conn.—It won't be the fault of the directors of the Orange bank at West Haven if the rising generation of that town does not develop into J. P. Morgans or Hetty Greens. The directors of the bank after a meeting have just announced that beginning Jan. 23 every person born within the corporate limits of the town would be given a bank book with $1 placed to his credit, and following the publication of this the town authorities held a special meeting and adopted as a slogan for the place: "Be born in West Haven and start life right." Discovers "Elixir of Life." London, England.—A small consignment of Dr. Doyen's "elixir of life," otherwise mycolysine, a solution of celloidale phagogane, ployvalente, has just arrived in London from Paris. Dr. Doyen claims his mixture will cure 99 diseases, the list whereof he gives in a newly published pamphlet. He declares mycolysine will cure a cold in the head in one hour, influenza in 24 hours, varicose veins in two months, typhoid fever in one week, mumps in six days and whooping cough in from two to eight days. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Describing as an inspiring scene the deft work of a group of negro street laborers in New York City, the Amsterdam News says: No one thought, apparently, of the creed or color of the experts, but admired only their skill. One would have thought that only white men, perhaps imported Germans, Belgians or other highly trained European mechanics, would be employed to do such work. But if one could have penetrated the crowds gathered on the curbing and got a closer view of the mechanics he would have been astonished to see that they were colored men, and, what as more, they were being tended by Italian helpers. No colored man watching the scene could come away without glowing in righteous race pride. No white man observed the scene and took the sober second thought without experiencing just a little increased respect for the ability of the black man. Here is an evidence of what skill and training will do for any colored youth. The world is beginning to ask not whether you are a white man or a black man, whether you are a Protestant, Catholic or Hebrew, but whether or not you are doing the work, and whether you can do that work better than anyone else. There is no color line in skill. There will be no color line in the generations to come against the man white or black, who has mastered some one trade or profession. To be prepared for an emergency is to have that emergency arise. Colored boys and girls, fit yourself for the work of tomorrow. There is a great work for each and every one to do. The black Belgian block layer is only the forerunner of the black artisan of the future of every man or woman who knows his or her work. Dearfield, Colorado, is the scene of a Negro colony in the west. It is located west of the Missouri river and north of the Mason and Dixon line, 70 miles northeast of Denver. Twenty-six colored families are settled on government land. Most of them have already been here long enough to own the soil they till. They have 6,000 acres under their control. In 1911 they had but two habitable house. Now they have fourteen. In the same year there were but 200 acres fenced; now there are 3,000. In 1911 they had 150 acres broken and in cultivation, this year 500 acres are under cultivation. The land is especially adapted to the cultivation of beets. The settlement is crying for tradesmen. They are especially in need of blacksmiths, cobblers and saddle makers. There is not a negro bank in all South Carolina. Is this one reason why Cole L. Blease has such an easy time in his state kicking the negro dog around? E. J. Sawyer, a colored citizen of Bennettsville, a man of some means, is considering the wisdom of moving to Columbia and organizing and operating a bank by and for his people. Mr. Sawyer is methodical, level-headed, and a man of unimpeachable integrity. He is the right man to head the movement. Tuskegue, Ala.—Friends of the late S. Coleridge-Taylor, of London, have written Booker T. Washington, urging him to assist in securing a fund for the support of Mr. Taylor's widow and children. It seems that help is urgently needed, as Mr. Taylor's family are left without means to live on. Mr. Washington has received a cable to this effect. We have very little respect for the negro who wishes to turn white; and for that reason abandon his race for fifth-rate associates among other people. The woman of our race have much of virtue, temperance, sobriety, beauty and other highly commendable qualities to satisfy the most critical and technical man in the race. They have all of these good qualities with odds against them, which is only suggestive of what they would be if encouraged and protected by their men, and left undisturbed by lascivious white men. If the negro race had not been a necessity, God would have not permitted it to exist. Having permitted it, he will not permit either low-grade white men or bad negroes to destroy it. Every negro that crosses the boundary line and attempts to break into other races pays the penalty for such indiscretion and very many—Dallas Express. The true test of greatness is not to allow your hat to get too small for you. We have all experienced times when hard words came mighty easy. Some men will sit down for hours and discourse on the evils of laziness. The girl who is to be had for the asking generally spends all her life waiting to be asked. The suburban cook should be well trained. She frequently comes on one and goes on the next. When a woman stays home from church because it is raining either her religion or her complexion isn't waterproof. J. W. Caldwell writes to the New York World that he is educated, a good bookkeeper and skilled stenographer, but can get no work in New York because he is a negro. He adds that there are hundreds of others like him, who are walking the streets of the metropolis and can get no employment in the work they desire. This being true, the north has no right to lecture to the south about race prejudice and the color line. The incident proves that most of the talk of that kind from that section is insincere. It is a pathetic fact that this letter in the World points out, considered in one light, but it means that the negroes will have to learn to depend on themselves. There are over 10,000,000 negroes in America—over 100,000 in New York city. Why are there not negroes in business who employ bookkeepers and stenographers? If the race has sufficient enterprise and business acumen it can build its own institutions and own civilization. There is no use arguing against race prejudice or race antagonism. It can't be abolished by law or any other way. It is as immutable as the leopard's spots or the Ethiopian's skin. It is a stubborn fact that the negro must learn and accommodate himself to. He is going to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water if he depends entirely on the white man for employment, but nothing debars him from building a business and industrial world of his own. Other people in the past history of the world more oppressed and equally excluded have found it possible to be thrifty in trade. If your daily occupation does not furnish you mental stimuli and brain culture, take up some side line of effort that will be in a measure a means of further education. When you come to realize that the side interest furnishes the brain and soul expansion lacking in your regular line of work, your contentment with your daily employment will become more complete There are various avenues of side-effect into which one can enter with ever increasing absorption of interest—among them some branch of church work, the promotion of secret organizations, civic or community improvement through organizations for the purpose, work among the unfortunate; culture may be sought in literature through clubs or by private instruction; a course suitable to one's talents or tastes from some correspondence school; the cultivation of musical talents, etc., etc. The work of so many of the negro people is irksome and non-productive of culture and refinement, the advice here given should find ready reception by many of them. As long as there is life in an individual's body, and health along therewith, efforts should be made unceasingly for enlarging the mental horizon and broadening the activities of the soul. If it be necessary that we "pray without ceasing," then without ceasing we should strive for a greater power to think keenly and feel more intensity. The Scuillin-Gallagher Steel Foundry of St. Louis, Missouri, one of the largest steel plants in the world, employs several thousand colored men in its shops. Negroes are to be found working in all but three of its departments and lack of experience and training is the sole reason. The wages paid Negroes run from $1.75 to $6.00 per day. Not a few Negroes have learned the trade in this foundry and are now foremen of their departments. Sam Powell of Paw Creek, N. C., sold in the Charlotte market early in December 13 bales of cotton for which he received $1,086. He disposed of 400 bushels of cotton seed for $600. Eight bales at 18 cents a pound and five bales at 17 cents a pound. He averaged a bale to the acre. Mr. Powell is in every way an up-to-date farmer. He subscribes for and reads several papers, both daily and farm journals. He raises each year his own food supplies and sells enough to pay his expenses. The trouble with most young persons who are complaining and whining because they have not a soft job is: They are not competent to fill the soft chair. It is very easy to say what you can do and tell some one else what they ought to do, but for you to prove it is another and harder thing. Good positions are always looking for a good and competent man—The Forum. Wealth doesn't always bring happiness. So after all it may be philanthropy to separate a fool and his money. A man may acquire case and plenty, but not in the order named. Some girls are such prudes that they wouldn't care to go to heaven without a chaperon. About the only things some people seem to get out of life are the necks and drumsticks. It's all right to fight the devil with fire, but don't lose sight of the fact that his ammunition will last longer than yours.

City. MISS BURROUGHS RIGHT! ‘Miss Nannie H. Burrows, corre- sponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary convention and president of the National Training School for Girls, said recently in a strong, plea, for help, for the race: “We have too many organizations. ‘The Negro ls the most organized race inthe World, and his organizations are the least effective. We have our hands on the mass of people, and this ‘mass is plastic—but, it seems exceed: ingly difficult for the leaders to settle ‘upon a definite plan either for our moral, social, political or industrial betterment.” ‘Time and again have we, also, called attention to the fact that,we have a number of so-called “national” organt- zations, and not one of them making the slightest effort ina PROPER way to solve any one of the three greatest and by far most important. problems of the times confronting our people— distranchisement, ‘‘jim-crow” cars (as relating to interstate passengers of color), and mob violence or lynch: murder, The first two can only be solved in the U. 8. Supreme Court. Dr. Booker Washington, president of the National Business Men's League, ‘knows this; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People, knows this, too; 20 do the presidents of all the other’ “national” Negro or Afro Ameritan organizations. Then, why do they fritter away time, money and effort with matters and things ot minor import#nce? Washington, Du Bois and all the others know better as we have indicated, and both at being maintained by ample funds sup plied by -both our people and the Whites. There ought not to be an} AiMiculty “in settling upon a definite plan," ‘Miss Burroughs. All. know what Is to be done and the only way in which ait effort to accomplish it can be made, ‘The thing to do is fo our people, the country over, to de mand of Messrs. Du Bois and Wash ington, particularly, and all the othe “presidents” and heads of our “na tional” organizations, that they d thelr clear duty to them, and stop th frittering away of time, effort anc money “chasing shadows.” We sa} this, too, with full appreciation for al the many little “side issues” both the N. BLM. L, and the N. A. A.C. P may have handied successfully. Ray them again, Miss Burroughs, but .« Uttle more definitely and to the point As pertinent to much of the fore going it is only necessary to call out Fenders’ attention to the fact that or the 10th of last month, the Supreme Court of Mississippi decided that it: State “jimerow" law applies through sleeping cars, as well as day coaches, Here we have the spectacle of a state court endeavoring to fix ou rights (in its state) as interstate (U 8.) passengers, when this power for all the states rests in the U. 8. Su preme Court. And we are making ab solutely no effort whatever to defenc our rights as interstate passengers a8 voters or anything else. We be Meve the U, S. Constitution will up hold both efforts—to knock out dis franchisement and “Jim-crow"” cat laws. (at least as far as the latter ef fect interstate passengers of color) if Dre, Washington and Du Bois or either, will but lead. Both can afford the time; they are being paid well ‘as we have indicated.

C.—By a special mes- sage to the legislature last Thursday, in which -he denounced Senator B. R. ‘Tillman as a traitor and as a man who stabbed in the back, Gov, Cole L. Blease has aroused the indignation of the senator's sons and friends. Capt W. B. Gonzales, editor of the Colum. bia State, was also attacked in the message.

When more than 500 Ohio boys un: der sixteen years of age, each cul- ttvating one acre of corn, produce an average of 85 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, it 1s Impossible not to perceive the vast opportunity which exists for enlarging staple crops with- out increasing the acreage of land un- der cultivation, That is, of course, Mf it ts understood that the present yield ef corn in Ohio averages about 25 bushels to the acre. An increase ‘of 150 per cent, in the average pro- ‘ductiveness of Ohio cornfields would mean an enormous addition to the wealth of the state every year. Even Af {t 1s admitted that the acres chosen by these 600 young corn growers were selected for the special fertil ity of their soll, and if it 1s grant- €d that the boys put more work upon their crops than ordinary commercial conditions would jujstify, still 1t ts clear that an Increase of 50 per cent. probably of 100 per cent., in the yield of Ohio corn flelds s not only possible, but would be commercially profitable, says tho Cleveland Leader. Such a rate of gain in the average yield of corn might. be duplicated, not in bush- els, but in rate per cent, of increase, in growing wheat, oats, potatoes, hay and other standard crops. Like pos: sibilities of {mprovement exist in rats- ing live stock, and poultry and in dairy farming. Such object lessons a: the annual contest among boys. for prize per acre crops must surely | prove one of the efficient means of raising the standard of agriculture In Ohio and making the farm lands of tha atate Menke. aeodcetive Since the instructive exhibit on tuberculosis which drew large crowds, eager to obtain information about the white plague, this mode of impressing lessons on prevention of disease has become popular. Not only does it en- list the interest of inguiring minds, but a more fundamentally important result {s that the graphic demonstra- tion by diagrams, figures and epigram- matic statements of facts arouses in the average visitor a desirt to learn and to participate in the movement, says the New York Sun, The people who have thronged the halls of the City college which has been generous: ly offered by Dr. Finley to the national committee for mental hygiene, attest to the deep interest\in the exhibit of isk cleiseatibon: The report of Public Printer Don- nelly discloses the interesting fact that the sales of postal cards last year fell off more than 510,642,000, compared with the previous year. ‘The government printing office supplied 1,280,895,840. postal cards in 1911. to meet public demands, whereas only 770,253,899 were ordered for this year. ‘The explanation 1s found in the vast increase in the use of the souvenir post card, but the revenue of the gov- ‘ernment has really been increased by this discrimination, as each souvenir card requires a onecent stamp, ‘The increase In revenue is derived by the enlarged sale of one cent stamps, the printing of which is less expensive than the postal card. Chicago waiters have a clubhouse in which there is a library of 2,000 vol- umes of the best authors, all bought with champagne corks, which the members pick up and sell for $3.50 a thousand.

THOMAS J. TURNER, Something of His Splendid Services For the Race—A. Strong. Candl- ‘ate for U.S. Minister eeeaee We are proud to note that Indiana is again to indorse a man of the race for Minister Plenipotentiary to Haiti, in the person of Mr. Thomas J. Turner of Ft. Wayne. Originally from New Jersey, where for many years he was prominent in state and national poli- ties, it was through his untiring efforts that many measures of great benefit to our race were put through the legis- lature of that state, While military instructor in Iron-side Industrial School at Bordentown, it was largely his capable and efficient service that procured for that’ institution an annual appropriation which enabled it to move from squalid and unsanitary sur- roundings to its present beautiful lo- cation on the Iron-side estate, over- looking the historic Delaware’ river. Mr, Turner also won a signal victory in his fight against unjust discrimina- tion in-the insurance laws of New Jersey, which compelled our people to pay a higher rate than the whites, while receiving lower premiums, Many other reforms of more immediate con- cern to the race were secured through his determined effort, such as mixed schools, free school books, etc. » The good things accomplished by Mr. Tur- ner has by no means been easy. Race hatred and prejudice stood ever ready to block his way, and it was nothing short of eternal vigilance and a deter- mined purpose that carried him through to success, Believing that-the opposition to a square deal was grow- ing more arbitrary and arrogant, espe- cially in its treatment of our people, he was convinced of better oppor- tunities in the Democratic party, and about the time of Col. Bryan's’ first campaign he went over to the other side, where his abilities were at once recognized, and he was made an ad- visory member of the state committee, and has done other things to help re- Neve the pressure of economic condi- tions that affect alike black and white. Whealth forced Mr. Turner into re- tirement for a number of years, and in the meantime he drifted to Indiana. While there, the call to political action was so Irresistible that he soon was in the thick of the fight for Democratic principles and human rights, and did splendid work in the revent campaign for the party. Our people of Indiana and of other states will make no mis- take in their hearty indorsement of Mr. Turner. W. O. Thornhill.

The general impression that the primrove was Beaconsfield’s “favorite” flower came from a misunderstanding of the words attached to the queen's tribute: “B. Victoria. His favorite flower.” The public thought the queen meant that the primrose was Beaconsfield’s fa vorite flower, when in truth she meant that It was the favorite flower of the prince consort. ‘eosoovccen0000ececc0000009 AGENTS!

With Exception of His Eyes, His Tongue and Arms From Elbow Down, He Is One Huge Piece of Bone. Frank Worden of Colfax, Ia., will give $1,000 to any surgeon in the United States who will break his back with anything short of a sledge hammer. Worden was in Omaha a short, time age and was seen by a number of physicians, but when he left the city he carried his thousand dollars with him. Worden_ is an ossified man—the only real one in the country. He is also a farmer and lives near Colafax. la. With the exception of his eyes, his tongue and his arms from the elbow down, he is one huge piece of bone, without a joint or a hinge of any kind. His body is as hard as stone, and as rigid as a piece of steel. Except as noted, he cannot move a single muscle of his entire body. All day and all night he lies straight and stiff, motionless. He can not laugh; he can not even smile. Eighteen years ago Worden was a farmer living near Colafax. One morning he awoke with a stiff neck. There was no pain, but he could not move his arm, but he also his arm. He paid no attention to it at first. But the affliction grew worse, and he finally consulted the family physician. "Just a little stiffness," said the doctor. "That'll soon wear off." But the stiffness did not pass away. And Worden went back to the doctor. And this time the doctor found something that puzzled him. While making his examination, he discovered that Worden had lost practically all feeling in the neck. And then he called in another doctor. The second physician was also puzzled. "Looks like this fellow is turning into a big 'bone,'" said the new doctor. And then they discovered that, in fact, Worden was actually turning to bone. His flesh tissues were hardening. Our physicians and surgeons were called in, but they were never able to stop the ravages of the peculiar malady. When Lord felt his jaws becoming set, he placed small wedges of wood between his teeth, and in that position the lower portion of his face became rigid. In time the wedges were removed and the teeth were left about half an inch apart. Through this aperture he is fed liquid foods. He cannot now masticate, but he can swallow liquids of any kind that are put into his mouth. Gradually the hardening went downward, affecting his body, his limbs and then his feet. Eight years after the morning when he discovered his stiff neck Worden's feet and ankles were as rigid as those of a stone image. Years before that time his legs had succumbed to the strange disease, and it was as impossible to use his hip joints, as it would be for a wooden Indian to walk. By this time, also, the arms were perfectly rigid, except at the elbow. The wrists, fingers and forearm are all pliable, although Worden says he can feel that his hands are getting a little bit heavier than they were formerly. This indicates, he says, that these members have at last become affected. Surgeons say there is no regular circulation of the blood through Worden's body, but that this flow has degenerated into simply a seepage. In time it will cease altogether. Worden lies on his back all the time, and he does not get weary. His body is not sore from its contact with the bed. There are no "bed sores," as is often the case with chronic bed-ridden invalids. Doctor's Prescription. In the Woman's Home Companion appears a story in which is related an account of a prescription given to an exceedingly stingy farmer by a doctor. The farmer took the prescription to the druggist. The druggist told the farmer that he could not fill the prescription, and said to the farmer: "If you will read it yourself you will see why." Whereupon the farmer adjusted his glasses and read, to his astonishment: "One hired girl, to be taken as soon as you can get her, and kept constantly on hand thereafter. A few new dresses that the wives of your hired men wouldn't be ashamed to wear, and a new hat and wrap to replace those you bought her last—thirteen years ago. All to be tinted with at least as much daily consideration as you bestow upon your cattle." Bethabilde Help a Composer Rothschilds Help A curious story is told as to how the Rothschilds supported Carafa, the composer. The latter was far from rich. His principal income was derived from a snuff box. And this was the way of it. The snuff box was given to the author of "La Prison d'Edimbourg" about 30 years ago by Baron James de Rothschild as a token of esteem. Carafa sold it 24 hours later for 50 napoleons to the same jeweler from whom it had been bought. This became known to Rothschild, who gave it again to the musician in the following year. The next day it returned to the jeweler's. This traffic continued till the death of the banker, and longer still, for his sons kept up the tradition, to the great satisfaction of Carafa.—From the Argonaut Paled Patriots "Our new citizens quickly pick up new ideas." "How now?" "I asked the Greek bootblack on our block if he wasn't going home to fight, and he tells me that he is paired with the Turk who runs the fruit stand."—Louisville, Courier Journal. That's so? They might as well go up with the rest of the living cost."

Women Who Dissipate Husband's Salary and Do Not Pay Their Bills Will Also Be Watched. New Haven, Conn.—Orders have just been given by the New Haven railroad for its employees to be friendly with their wives. They have been warned that the company regards the family man as more desirable than the single man who lacks ties and stability. The wives of the railroaders will also be watched. Wives who dissipate their husband's earnings and get on the blacklist of the grocery stores for not paying their bills will get their husbands into trouble. It will be the theory of the railroad that the staid married man, linked to a wife of industrious habits, will prove the most desirable employee the railroad can possess. Such employees will be selected for promotion in preference to men of sporting inclinations or whose wives show traits that may unsettle their husbands and make them worry while at work. Several employees have recently been warned that unless they had less trouble at home they could not be regarded as safe to handle trains loaded with passengers. One report has it that a recent accident on the New Haven railroad was caused by the carelessness of an engineer who had just gone through a terrific quarrel with his wife. This phase of railroading is an innovation for the New Haven road and in some quarters workmen resent it as spying and unwarranted. The Catholic clergy of the state have endorsed the innovation.

CITIZENS WIELD HORSEWHIP Punish Man Because He Appeared at Funeral Intoxicated and Created a Disturbance. Lake Placid, N. Y.-A mob com- posed of some of the most pro- minent citizens of the town dragged Homer Mitchell through the streets and horsewhipped him at night be- cause he appeared at a funeral intoxicated and created a disturbance. Mitchell was admonished later to stay sober or suffer a repetition of the punishment. Residents say that Mitchell's lapses from sobriety have been numerous and something was necessary to induce a reform. Won't Wash Husbands' Feet Ferguson, Mo. — The women of the Presbyterian church here are up in arms against their pastor, Rev. James Talbot because of a sermon he preached recently on "A Wife's Duty to Her Husband," in which he said a wife should love her husband well enough to wash his feet if he came home drunk. The wives of the community resent this command to play the role of Magdalenes and they have announced a boycott against the remaining sermons on matrimony the pastor has announced.

Va.-The last and final chapter in the celebrated Schenk case which attracted country-wide attention was written when Judge Kerven handed down a decision giving John O. Schenk an absolute divorce from his wife, Laura Farnsworth Schenk. Schenk also was given custody of the children. In his petition Schenk charged infidelity, naming Dan Phillips, a plano salesman. Mrs. Schenk filed a cross bill making similar charges, naming among others Bessie Clayton, an actress. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1913. CAP and BELLS TROUBLE AT WOMAN'S CLUB Assertion That Husband Put on Shirt With One Sleeve Right Side Out Started Fuss. "My husband did the foolishest thing this morning you ever heard of. When he got up he put on his shirt with one sleeve right side out and the other wrong side out." "One sleeve wrong side out and the other—why, Mrs. Jipes, he couldn't possibly have done such a thing as that." "Why not?" "It's a physical impossibility." "But I saw him do it." "But I saw him do him it. "You thought you did, but—" "Well, like that! Dispute my word, do you? I'll let you know—" "Say, Mrs. Glimmer, do you think anybody could put on a shirt with one sleeve right side out and the other wrong side out?" "He might if it was made that way; not so wise." "What did I tell you, Mrs. JI—" "That doesn't settle it, Mrs. Skimmerhorn. Say, Mrs. Biby, do you see anything absurd in the idea that a man can put his shirt on with one sleeve wrong side out and the other right side out?" "Yes." "I don't see how he could, Mrs. Jipes." "Well, I saw my husband do it. Mrs. Carstone, you believe me, don't you?" "Of course I do. There's nothing absurd about that." "There! Perhaps you'll—" "That doesn't decide it. Look here, Mrs. Hankins, did you ever see any body wearing a shirt with one sleeve right side out and the other wrong side out?" "I never did, Mrs. Skimmerhorn, but if Mrs. Jipes says so I've no reason to—" "Did you, Mrs. Winters?" "No, nor anybody else." "So! Think I'm telling a falsehood, do you?" "I didn't say so, Mrs. Jipes, but it's so perfectly absurd, so manifestly impossible, that—" "Cat! I'll—" ("Here the gavel fell.) "Ladies, if you please, we will resume the consideration of the question pertaining to changing the hour of meeting. A motion will be in order." What She Meant: "So you think I smoke too much?" he asks just to keep up a conversation that seemed to be languishing. "Not at all." she answered, not knowing. not very skillfully concealing a yawn. "You said you thought so." "Pardon me. I don't think you are smoking too much." "Didn't you say that I'd die if I didn't cut it down?" "Yes, that's what I said." It took him a long time to get it, and then he was quite angry. She—I just love a good skate. He—Yes, I would, too, if it wasn't for the morning after. The Actor—But—er—what about the contract? The Agent—Oh, that's all right. A verbal contract'll do. The Actor—Laddie, listen. The last time I had a verbal contract I drew a verbal salary! Severe. "Is she severe with the children?" "Very.

MERELY SLAPPED HER FACE After Investigation Lawyer Learns Husband "Happened to Have Flatiron in His Hand." A young lawyer in a southern town was sitting in his office one day when an old negro who had belonged to the lawyer's father came, in and halted him, says the Saturday Evening Post. "Mistah Campbell," he said. "Tse done got in a little mess 'count of my ole 'oman, an I wants you, please suh, to come 'long over to do cotehouse and fix it up for me. It don't 'mount to nothin', but dey is talkin' 'bout sweairn' out a writ and sendin' de constables after me." "What's the matter?" asked the law- yer. "Well, suh," said the old man, "you know wut a aggervatin' nigger 'oman dat wife o' mine is?' Dis mawhut at breakfast the man arguyt' and sputtin' wd me entail 'up an' slapped her. Dat's all it is; I des slapped her 'longside de haild once't to correct her." Leaving the old man in his office, the lawyer crossed to the courthouse. He found that the woman was in a hospital, reported as dangerously injured and that a charge of assault with intent to kill had been lodged against the husband. He hurried back. "Now, Uncle Ike," he said, "if you want me to defend you, you've got to tell me the truth about this whole affair. They say your wife is badly hurt—she may not get well. What did you do to her?" "Mistah Campbell," protested the old man. "I done toole you de truth—I des up and slapped dat 'oman along-side de haid wid my hand." "With your hand?" "Yes, suh." "Was there anything in your hand?" "Well, suh, since you mentions it," said the accused. "I does seem to recall dat I happened to be holdin' a flatron in my hand at de time." SAW THROUGH HIM. BENJAMIN BENJAMIN Transitory Fame. "Seems funny what a fuss they make over these football ballers," said the fat man with the whiskers. "Oh, I don't know," replied the other man. "It is a form of fame that must cling to a man for many years." "Do you think so?" said the fat man. "Well, my name is Grabstock. Does that suggest anything to you?" "N-no." "And yet," said the fat man. "I'm the phenomenon who ran the whole length of the field for a touchdown in 1903—the most brilliant football feat of all times. What?" High Time. "This is some more of the work of them blamed monopolists," said Ira Oatley as he hung his trousers over the foot of the bed. "What do you mean?" his wife asked. "Look at that card. It says, 'Don't blow out the gas.' I's pose they want to git us to let it burn all night, and then they'll charge us fer it when we settle our bill in the mornin'. It's about time we was havin' a change of administration in this country." How She Struck Him "Oh, yes, I know Mrs. Wadleigh. I saw her last night and she struck me as—" "I know what you were going to say. She struck you as being about the prettiest woman in this town." "No, that wasn't it exactly. She struck me as I was trying to get across the street in front of her new electric." Modern Adventure "I was stopped on the street last night and invited into the house of a perfect stranger."

NEW BLOUSE DESIGNS NEW BLOUSE DESIGNS IMPORTED MODELS ARE OF THE MOST HANDSOME MATERIALS. ture of the Moment NEW YORK.—The simple blouses of handsome materials are the most appealing, at least one is inclined to think so until she feasts her eyes on some of the recently imported models in which lace and embroidery, chiffon and brocaded stuffs are ingeniously combined. There is certainly much satisfaction in the severely plain, well cut blouses of brocaded silks in the various new colorings. The wool back satins have been adopted for these simple little blouses with great success. One of the most striking characteristics is the vivid coloring of the satin; the sulphur, the Besnard and Dahila reds, the Chinese blues, the emerald greens and the poppy pinks being more in demand than the taupes, grays and browns. There is no trimming, unless the small patch pocket at the left side is thus classed. If one would be very modish she will not introduce a contrasting color even in the handkerchief, but will tuck into the pocket a handkerchief of crepe de chine in the same shading as the surface of the blouse. The low shoulder seam gives the desired long drooping shoulder and the buttons are covered with satin. A bit of hand embroidery may lend an individual note to these buttons. As the brilliant shades are seldom becoming next to the face unless one has a clear skin and high color, a white or cream gum guipme can be added to go with the plaited jabot of the net. Model That Attracts A particularly stunning model which carries out many of the new ideas is of gold satin with relieving touches of white satin in the collar, guipme and cuffs. The sleeves, which are set into the drooping shoulder, are slashed from the elbow down and inset with the white satin. Lace frills are sometimes substituted for the Latest One-Piece Gown. satin, but unless one can always have them immaculately fresh it is better to continue the material to the bottom of the sleeve and finish with a plaiting of white net, which can easily be freshened. The blouses of rattie are quite as effective as those of the satins or brocaded materials. A striking model, which would appeal more to the woman on the lookout for something different than to the conservatively gowned woman, is of yellow rattie with purple and red flowers scattered over it in reckless profusion. The yoke and high collar of white net tone down the daring color combination and the Robespierre collar finished with a narrow plait, and the elbow sleeves, also of the net, add softening effects. The Epaulette Another new style note on the blouses of soft, thick silks is the epaulette. These shoulder pieces aid introducing the fashionable drooping shoulder, and are therefore a logical development. They offer an excellent opportunity for a little hand embroidery, which never fails to add distinction to a plain waist. The vestes, while not as new, are exceedingly attractive, and suggest a method whereby color can be introduced on a somber blouse. A saupe-colored crepe de chine waist is given a charming effect by a a vestee (reaching only to the bust line) of geranium ratine, with buttons covered with the crepe de chine. This color note is repeated on the strap which decorates the outer seam of the long sleeves and in the piping marking the shoulder seam. Smocking for Variety. It requires only a little handwork in the form of smocking to give a novel trimming to a plain blouse of crepe de chine. The smocking may be Played a Dead Man's Tip. A telegram addressed to a dead man seemed uncanny. Three who knew him were about to send the boy back when one recalled that the dead man frequently received good information from friends on ractracks. The message was opened and was found to have been sent by a man known for his good tips. It hunched one horse to win and another to run second. The nags ran as hunched. "Kind of creepy, this business of playing tips from a live wire to a combined to the shoulder, extending from the neck to the elbow, below which the fullness falls softly to the wrist, where it is restrained by a turn-back cuff, or it may form the form. On a slender figure this additional fullness is very becoming. There are other fetching models which are designed very closely after the artist's smock, as it is called in the ateliers. A young woman whose talent for dressing is far famed among her acquaintances, has made some fascinating blouses by dyeing the crepe fabrics herself, in order to get the queer, subtle colorings she desires, and then making up the material with touches of smocking, on either on the yoke or on the sleeves. There is a delightful individuality in these blouses which cannot be given by even the most exclusive shops. In Chiffon Waists. There are two distinct types of chiffon waistls this season—those entirely of chiffon, and others on which the chiffon is an accessory to the satin or velvet. The chiffon blouse—soft, light and delicate—is very different from the waist of satin veiled with chiffon. There is a diaphaneous, cloudlike effect, which is lost when the lining of satin is discernible. A charming blouse of white chiffon gave the effect of being draped around the figure and caught carelessly in the front with a row of buttons covered with the chiffon. A strip of moleskin skinned the top of the collar, another slip finished the bottom of the long sleeves, which were just full enough to fall softly and gracefully, and a third strip appeared in some mysterious way to outline the fastening in front. Another creamy chiffon blouse has as a foundation flesh pink chiffon, which glimmer through the sheer veil with all the fascination of flesh. It is a simple little affair, with a Robespierre collar of white satin and a jabot of the plaited chiffon finished with hem of black chiffon. A two-inch band of the hemstitched black chiffon marks the outside seam of the long sleeves, and a frill of black and white chiffon falls over the hands. White Lace in Profusion White Lace in Profusion. Another white chiffon lace is combined with lace and white net, the latter forming the yoke and the standing collar. From the bust line of the bottom of the waist the waistcoat is lost under a veil of the white lace. The lace is likewise used to veil the sleeves, which are usually full, the fullness being held in by a row of black jet nail heads across the back of the sleeves. The touch of black is further accentuated by a band of black chiffon which outlines the yoke, ending in a perky little bow in the front. A charming departure from the regulation white net blouse is one of ecrun net, tucked in clusters of three. A cavat of soft black silk fastens the low comfortable collar of lace, dyed to match the net. The ends of the cavat, instead of falling free, are run through straps of lace. Even the sleeves are tucked and are finished with black cuffs, softened with the lace. Velvet Blouses. It is an easier task this winter to discover simple blouses, with good lines and of attractive materials, than it is to weed out from the bewildering mass of models dressy waists with distinctive touches. On many of the more elaborate waists various materials are combined with a recklessness that is more daring than artistic. The search is well worth while, for occasionally one finds a blouse where two colors and two contrasting materials are skillfully blended, as in the blouse of gray satin and ruby red panne velvet. The lower portion and the under sleeves are of ruby red panne velvet, and the upper part, which fits closely to the figure like a deep yoke, is of gray satin. The upper part of the sleeves is cut in one piece, with this deep yoke, and the turndown collar is likewise of the satin, with a flat bow of the panne velvet With a suit of old blue velvet a fetching waist could be worn which could easily be copied in any desired coloring. The entire upper part of the waist, even the upper part of the sleeves, is of old blue chiffon embroidered in silver soutache. This gives the flat effect over the neck and shoulders is so much desired. The velvet extends from the waist to the bust line in two points in the front and in the back, and falls below the girdle in two similar points. There is a deep peplum, practically a skirt yoke, of the embroidered chiffon. The lower part of the sleeve is of velvet laid in soft folds, and the girdle is of velvet in yet a deeper tone, fastening at the side in two upstanding loops, and two others falling almost to the bottom of the peplum. The illustration shows a design of black velvet, draped gracefully over an underdress of violet Ninon-de-sole. The toque and stole are of taillessermine.

Calendars All Upset Just which day is the Fourth of July of the new republic of China? No one seems to be sure. According to the Oriental point of view, the beginning of the rebellion against the Mancha dynasty was the uprising at Wu Chang; this was on October 10, 1911, according to the solar calendar. But until this year China has known only the lunar calendar, and by this the rebellion began September 23. As the new government has adopted the solar calendar, while allowing the use of the old system temporarily, no one is sure of the date. In some places celebrations were held in September and in others in October. This is only one instance of the difficulties in store for the new republic. The reform of the calendar means an economic revolution, as it will upset all the old systems of weights and measures, and all arrangements of dates, commercial and religious. English Women on Golf Links. A very noticeable thing about Englishwomen golfers of today is the great change in their appearance on the links. It used to be considered necessary and thoroughly sporting to look as unconventional as possible when playing the game. Shapleess tweed costumes, hopeless hats and great clumsy boots were the proper wear, but now this is quite changed. At Turnbury women and girls wore dainty skirts and blouses and silk sweaters of pale shades, with coquettish caps and hats, or no head coverings at all, and the effect was distinctly pleasing. Two played their final match, the one in white with nothing on her hair, the other in a French gray sailor blouse and neatly cut skirt with a little cap out of the same material. Limi as a Fightwad.
