ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1913. OFFICERS MAKE STATEMENT Investigation Into So Called Shortage of Ex-Treasurer Bluit's Accounts Reveals Poculiar Situation — Crisis Came at Time of Bank Failures—"I Will Make Good," Says Bluit. Dallas, Tex.—The most talked of subject in Texas fraternial circles is the $14,000 shortage in the Masonic grand lodge. Much discussion of the subject has brought forth many untrue statements. William McDonald (Goose Neck Bill), the secretary of the Texas jurisdiction of the Masons, gives in the current issue of the Masonic Quarterly, the official organ of the Texas jurisdiction, what purports to be the official version of the matter. McDonald states that Dr. B. R. Bluit, the grand treasurer, tendered his resignation to Grand Master J. W. McKinney on Oct. 5, 1912, after admitting a shortage of $13,367.26, which was afterward found to be $13,918.06; that on Dec. 30, 1912, the Oklahoma Boulding company, which was on Dr. Bluit's bond for $25,000, was notified that the grand lodge. Free and Accepted Masons of Texas, was holding that company responsible for the payment. As to the collection of the bond, McDonald says: "When the bond will be collected I don't know. I don't think a living man can answer that question." Although McDonald and Dr. Bluitt have for years and years been close political, personal and fraternal friends, in speaking further of the shortage he says: "Few men can realize the anguish and pain that it gives me. I cannot find it in my heart to excuse or justify the deliberate acts of Past Grand Treasurer Bluitt." Stands High In Professional Life. Dr. Bluitt is the leading Negro physician and surgeon in Texas. As the recognized head of the Bluitt sanitation he stands at the head of his profession in this state, and his income is said to be proportionately larger than that of any other physician of color. He admits a shortage, but explains that circumstances made it and gives out the impression that it was created with the knowledge of the grand lodge officials, so it is alleged. He states that he offered to make good the shortage and that he entered into an agreement with the grand lodge officials to repay the amount claimed: that the grand master, J. W. McKinney, deliberately broke the agreement. History of Bluitt's Official Career. Dr. Bluitt's statement is as follows: "It is needless for me to say at this time that I regret the unfortunate circumstances surrounding my so called shortage as grand treasurer of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas. I have held this position since 1898, and each year since that time my election has been made unanimous. I have always accounted for every cent of the money that the 7,000 Masons of Texas have intrusted to my care. "I have always taken a deep interest in the race and have from time to time invested my personal funds in stocks which were being fostered by landable undertakings for the benefit of the race—namely, stocks of the Penny Savings bank, Dallas, and the Provident Bank and Trust institution failed the early part of 1912. "Besides, I had gone on personal securities of these banks to the extent of several thousand dollars, and upon the failure of these banks I was forced to pay off their claims in order to keep myself in good light before the people of Texas. How well I have done that is known to all who are acquainted with my affairs in this city. Voluntarily Resigned as Treasurer. "It is true that on Oct. 5, 1912, I voluntarily resigned as grand treasurer of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas. The causes stated above and the fact that in July, 1912, the grand master made the following recommendation to the grand lodge placed me in a position in which I was compelled to turn over at once all money due the grand lodge which had been accumulated in various departments since 1808. "The resolution reads as follows: "Resolved, That the Fraternal Bank and Trust company. Fort Worth, be made the depository for the grand lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons of Texas and that the grand treasurer be required to deposit all money which he has or may have in the said institution." "It was known throughout the jurisdiction that the grand treasurer was the sole custodian of all Masonic funds and that as partial compensation for his services he was expected to use these funds as he saw fit since he was able to properly meet all claims presented to him. Agreement With Grand Lodge Officers. "When I offered my resignation I entered into an agreement with the grand lodge officers to pay them $13,937.26 in the following manner: "They were to allow me five years in which to pay that sum, and I was to deed to them all the property which I owned, encumbered or unencumbered, to secure the payment of the said debt, even the rents from this property to be turned over to the grand lodge and applied on notes. I was also permitted in this agreement to deed the property to any person whomsoever I desired. "The deeds were drawn and all papers necessary to carry out my portion of the contract were made out. The grand secretary (McDonald) accepted the same in good faith, and the grand master (J. W. McKinney) on a mere technicality would not comply with the contract. They therefore called upon the Oklahoma Bonding company to make good. Reason For Present Predicament. "For the benefit of my friends and all who have known me I have this to say: I have no ill will toward any man or Masons. The Masons of Texas will get their money, every dollar of it, regardless of whether the bouding company pays it or not. I promised to pay it when I resigned my office in October and offered them all the security I had, and all I ask now is that they give me time and I will do the rest. "I know no such word as 'fall.' The crisis came at a time of bank failures, when persons whose notes I secured failed to pay, when funds in my posession for fourteen years were withdrawn. This is the reason for my so called shortage." ALLEYS IN WASHINGTON. High Death Rate Among Alley Dwellers Revealed in New Directory. Washington.—A directory of the inhabited alleyss of this city has been compiled under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman of the housing committee of the Monday Evening club. The work has been printed through the generosity of several members of the club. There are in Washington 275 blocks which have inhabited alleyss. These alleyss contain 3,337 dwelling houses and approximately 16,000 inhabitants. "Conversion into minor streets is the effective remedy for the larger alleyss. Complete elimination of dwelling houses is the cura for the smaller alleyss." The term alley as used in this directory is any passageway or throughfare within the block, less than forty feet in width, which has at least one dwelling facing upon it. In any case where the passageway is over forty feet wide it is still regarded as an alley, provide it does not extend straight through the block from one street to another. The alley death rate per 1,000 in 1910 for all ages was 30.09 against 17.59 for the death rate of people living under ordinary conditions; for children under one year, 273.49 against 158.06. The colored people in the alley of Washington had the following alarming death rates in 1910 per 100,000: Pneumonia, 482.8; tuberculosis, 621.3; whooping cough, 21.9; diarrhea children under two years), 321.6. The corresponding figures for the whites living under ordinary conditions were: Pneumonia, 117.9; tuberculosis, 121.2; whooping cough, 5.3; diarrhea, 36.8. BUSINESS FEATURES OF THE ODD FELLOWS' FRATERNITY Successful Year For Thrifty Secret Order—Plans For the Future. One of the strongest corporations conducted by Negroes in the District of Columbia is the Odd Fellows' Hall association, builder and owner of the magnificent $100,000 Odd Fellows' hall at 1600 M street northwest. The association has just declared its annual 5 per cent dividend, involving the allotment of $2,479. The financial statement for the year ending Dec. 31, 1912, shows the following gratifying results: In hand beginning of year 1912.....$2,105.50 Total receipts, including balance.....7,686.50 Expended during the year.....5,424.60 Balance on hand Dec. 31, 1912.....1,944.24 The expenditures noted above carry the $2,479 paid out in the 5 per cent dividend. For rental of the public hall during the year the association received $1,729. It is said that the association, encouraged by the property that has attended its investments in the past, is negotiating with the owners of the property adjoining the hall on the west with a view of enlarging the building so as to provide for additional lodge rooms and a monster public hall, to be able to accommodate the larger gatherings of the race that now go to Convention hall and pay fabulous prices for it. The officers who have plotted the Old Fellows Hall association into the harbor of success are: President, Thomas H. Wright; vice president, Lawrence Clark; secretary, Samuel W. Watson; assistant secretary, Alexander F. Hicks; treasurer, Joseph Manning; directors, Thomas H. Wright, S. W. Watson, Isaac W. Scott, Henry P. Flaughter, Joseph Manning, James Langhorne and W. O. Dayas. Mrs. M. C. Terrell's Brooklyn Lectures. Most helpful at this particular time is the series of lectures on "The Negro Race In the United States," given in the regular course for March at the Brooklyn institute by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington. She endeavors to acquaint the white people with the real facts concerning the conditions which confront the race in its effort to advance along all lines of industry and education. "Give us a chance," says Mrs. Terrell, "at such employment as we are prepared by education, skill and in the various trades to perform." Plenty of Business in Old Blue Grass State—Admirable Career of a Former Public School Teacher, Whose Activities are Included in a Wide Scope of Racial Interests. Shelbyville, Ky.—That the race is making progress is shown by the successful men and women in various parts of the country who are making headway in the trades, business and professions. Their success is proving to be an inspiration to the boys and girls who are to be the future men and women. Mrs. Daisy M. Saffell of this city is an example of what industry, honesty, ability and push will do for one possessing these qualities can do for herself. She was born in Louisville, Ky., and educated in the public schools of that city, completing the high school course, then going to Fisk university, where she took on the finishing touches. MRS. DAISY M. SAFFELL. She studied music in addition to her literary work, studying at St. Joseph Catholic academy and Flisk university. After finishing her studies Mrs. Saffell turned her attention to teaching. She spent fifteen years teaching at Frankfort, thence to Lawrenceburg, Ky., where she was principal. Later Mrs. Saffell decided to enter the business world; hence there was some more training necessary in order to make a success. She resigned school teaching and entered Clark's College of Embalming in Cincinnati, O., graduating with honors. She is the only woman in Kentucky who is a licensed embalmer, and in this she stands at the head of the class. She is deeply interested in the progress of her race and is found in everything that means racial uplift and progress. She is editor of the Kentucky Club Woman, the official organ of the Kentucky State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She is secretary of the Colored Funeral Directors' Association of Kentucky and treasurer of the National Association of Colored Funeral Directors. At a meeting held in connection with the National Negro Business league in Chicago in 1912 Mrs. Saffell attracted much attention by the report made to the business league in her address delivered before that body. She is a typical Kentuckian. In secret society work she is secretary of the District Household of Ruth of Kentucky, which has won for her many friends among the women. She was active at the session of the biennial movable committee held in September, 1912, in Atlanta, Ga., where she delivered an address. "I believe that there is a place for every girl of my race," says Mrs. Saffell. "The only thing is for her to make up her mind to find it. She must not sit idle, but be up and doing. She must make each day count for something. "There is plenty of room outside of school teaching, and our girls must find it in the business arena. Some have made success as lawyers, doctors, stenographers, clerks and along other lines, and I am proud of them." Mrs. Saffell was married in 1897 to Mr. G. W. Saffell, who is the principal of the Shelbyville high school. Boydton Citizens to Hold Celebration. Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg county, in Virginia, is one of the oldest and most favorably known inland towns in the state. One mike west of the town in a beautiful oak grove is the Boydton institute, formerly the old Randolph-Mason college. The building is of red brick and is very picturesque in appearance. It was one of the leading schools for white students just before and after the civil war. About thirty-four years ago it was opened by northern philanthropists for the education of Afro-Americans. The late Dr. Charles Cullis of Boston and Mrs. Helen B. Sharpe of Old Orchard, Me., who is still living, were among the leaders in the work when the school was opened in 1879. The citizens of Boydton will hold a big fifteenth anniversary celebration on Wednesday, April 9. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Go where you please in the south and you will see the negro engaged in all branches of business and industry. In this city, where he handles thousands of dollars and easy work, the negro is a business nonentity, with but a few exceptions. The only business in this city in which the negro is engaged and in which he is a success is the drug and saloon business. There are a few dining rooms where the negro is also a success. The Bee has been the only successful newspaper that has been able to exist among the negroes. There have been all kinds of newspapers and editors in this city, from a weekly to "tri weakly," from a daily to a monthly, but they have failed. There are over 90,000 colored people in this city, three-tenths of whom never read a newspaper, and those who do read seem to cater to the people that abuse them. The southern negro is a thrifty and successful individual. He knows how to run a bank and do other things that make him a commercial success. In this city the negro should be an independent commercial factor. We now need a first class business school. There is now great need for young men and women who understand how to conduct a business and how to keep books. We need good typewriters and stencraphers. These are not thoroughly taught in our schools. Our business high school is not what it should be. Everybody cannot teach, hence a business education should be taught our children. We favor the trade school, because they will prepare our boys and girls for future usefulness. The young negro in the south is fast surpassing the northern negro. The northern negro is too proud to work. He doesn't want to soil his hands or make them hard. We need more trade schools south. Higher education is a great factor, but trade schools will be a greater factor to the negro—The Washington Bee. How many young men in your community can you depend upon to take the places of the men who are managing the affairs of the church and the school and the state when these older men have passed away? The nation must have men of character and ability to rule in its affairs. Can we point to the boys and young men about us and say they will meet the requirements?—The Torchlight. Let us hope so any how, in spite of the mass of evidence that seems to point the other way. Many years ago there were a half dozen or more boys in every community when people would point to with the prediction that they would make their mark in life. And these youngsters would constantly talk about what they were going to do—they worked to that end. Their zeal seemed to be in inverse proportion to their opportunities. Young men of today discuss parties, receptions, base ball, foot ball, pellets, swell times, etc. However, it may be that the coming men who will meet every test and lead the advance in any and all directions are now in obscurity—making hay and laying it up against the day when they receive the summons. Progress of all the past has been conditioned upon this fact: Whenever an emergency has arisen, calling for a man, destiny has sent him forth fully equipped and prepared—Old Hickory. COLORED MEN IN ASSOCIATION. Colored business men met at the Baker hotel, 3312 Wabash avenue, to organize a permanent business association. More than 100 merchants, representing many businesses and professions, attended the meeting. The object of the association will be to encourage a closer relation among the colored people and to give employment to the more intelligent and thrifty members of the race. Among those who delivered addresses at a banquet which followed the meeting were M. T. Bailey, manager of the Milton Mercantile agency; Jesse Binga, banker and real estate dealer; Col. John R. Marshall of the Eighth regiment, I. N. G., and R. R. Jackson of the Fraternal Printing company—Chicago Daily News. A Philadelphia janitor has invented a tool consisting of a rubber suction cup on the end of a rod for removing and replacing electric light bulbs. Offend a friend and you have an enemy, made by your greatest enemy, an unruly tongue. The Servian government has ordered more than 2,645,000 pounds of American petroleum for use in the Turkish provinces it now occupies. In an experimental way a tough paper, suitable for insulation purposes, is being made at Boston from the fiber of Hawaiian pineapple leaves. A hammer which holds a nail in its claws until it is started in wood has been patented by a Colorado inventor to help carpenters to reach difficult places. If the things out of which the comforts of life are created were properly improved, they would add much to the scope of human happiness. But, unfortunately, many noble opportunities are neglected or, purposely, ignored which, if rightly appreciated, would smooth our rugged paths. We often fall by the wayside from lack of strength to stand, yet in many instances the weaknesses which possess us are of our own volition and not forced unbidden upon us. There are occasions upon which many enterprises of vast importance could be launched in the interest of race up-building could we see the necessity of grasping the opportunities, but we daily with chance and allow to slip privileges which, if utilized, would redound to credit and honor. Wisdom. In its development, begets strength; but it serves no purpose if it fails to take advantage and use its gifts for the public weal. Loyalty to self and those with whom we are identified prompts us to the proper nurture of our sacred trust; but should we hesitate to act in obedience to the urgent dictates of conscience our efforts will bring rothing to pass. Talk stimulates thought, which forensic action, but it is barren of results unless some definite step is taken. It is impossible to legislate desires into the hearts of men, though laws may enforce action. But individual sentiments must be controlled by a voluntary adherence to the causes which affect our welfare. The various avenues through which we journey to attain our aim in life are free to every choice, but that success which rewards honest and earnest endeavors must be achieved by earnest toil. Experience teaches practical lessons on all lines if we only heed the instruction, but nothing noteworthy can be accomplished if to its appeal deaf ears are turned. No individual or race that refuses to be adjusted to environments and cultivate that which is freely given to us. We do not need consideration from those among whom they dwell. In our peculiar situation we suffer, not so much from what is withheld as from what we refuse to accept. The meshes in which our footsteps are outtangled are the creations of indifference to those noble acts of others after which our own must be fashioned if we, as a race, would reach the goal and establish a lasting foundation. The talents which Jehovah grants he intends them to be used to the best advantage in order to benefit mankind and promote the progress of the world. There are fruitable fields for harvest, and abundant returns may be garnered there would the reapers exert their energy in fostering the growth of the vineyard. Those races that blindly walked in utter disregard as to what might have been performed in development were ruthlessly pushed from the stage of action and are relics of tender memory. The happenings of the past may become future repetition to present and unborn generations; therefore it becomes the duty of every one to labor to a faithful end. Negro genius should originate negro's aid, his claim to recognition in material affairs will receive no response, because in it there can be no reasonable appeal to justice. Let the negro remember that an end to be attained must have a beginning, and although success may not always crown his efforts yet a manly undertaking is required at his hands.—Attanta Phalanx. CARAMEL CAKE. To make a caramel cake which will be found delicious, take half cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, the yolks of three eggs, half cupful of milk, one and three-quarters cupfuls of flour, two and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the whites of two eggs beaten stiff, three-quarters cupful of walnut meat broken in pieces. Mix the ingredients in the order given. Bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Cover with caramel frosting, which is made as follows. Boll together one and one-fourth cupfuls of brown sugar, one-third cupful of water and one-fourth cupful of white sugar until it strings. Pour this gradually, while beating constantly, on the beaten whites of two eggs, and continue beating until mixture is nearly cool. Set the pan containing the mixture in a pan of boiling water and cook over the range, stirring continuously until it becomes granular around the edge of the pan. Remove from the pan of hot water and heat until the mixture will hold its shape. Add one-fourth cupful of English walnut meats, broken in pieces. Japan bought more than $5,000,000 worth of electrical machinery and supplies last year, most of which came from the United States. A belt driven by an electric motor rubs clothing over a recently invented automatic wash board that can be be used in any convenient tub. The first sewing machine of which there is authentic record was patented in England in 1755, the first American machine of the kind was patented in 1836.

Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, Washington, D. C. have been "let out" in recent weeks and white democrats appointed by President Wilson to succeed them. More encouragement for the "enthusiastic" Negro democratic job hunters. Separate car bills were killed, in recent weeks, in the legislatures of Illinois, Delaware and Missouri; separate school bills, in California and Colorado; separate marriage bills, in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Washington (state). See what can be done when we try - WORK - and get our friends among the whites to help us! Do not be discouraged but renew the fighting spirit (for your rights and privileges under the laws of the nation, the state, and the municipality in which you live). This we owe ourselves and those who are to come after us. Horace R. Cayton, editor of the Seattle (Wash.) Republican, lost his suit recently, for damages against a restaurant proprietor who asked him not to patronize his place. Superior Judge Ronald upheld the contention of the defense that Mr. Cayton was not refused service and therefore had not been deprived of his civil rights. According to the evidence, Editor Cayton, after his first appearance in the restaurant, was asked not to come again; he did come again, was served, but not charged for the meal, and again requested not to eat there. Editor Cayton was too quick to sue in this case. He ought to have persevered and continued his visits to that restaurant until there was a refusal to serve him, and then entered suit being careful to have good witnesses of the refusal. This was the proper course to pursue, and we are surprised that he, an editor, did not know it. According to current report, the Oklahoma disfranchisement case which had been advanced for argument, this month, before the U. S. Supreme Court, has been postponed until NEXT YEAR at the request of the Government's Department of Justice. This is the case that grew out of the effort of Oklahoma election of fliers to restrict the right to vote of that state's Afro-American voters. Its disfranchisement "law" is based on what is known as "the grandfather clause". If the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People really wishes to do something MATERIAL for ALL of our people and not simply for some deserving member of the race, let Dr. Du Bois lead it into the thickest of this fight. The postponement of consideration of the case until "next year", by the U. S. Supreme Court, will bear investigation, to say the least. We would like to know why. THE RACE ISSUE IN THE JAPAN "MUDDLE." These are "heydeys" for the reac-tionaries in this great so-called "democratic republic"." The Heavs, Vardamus, damsus, and other-"other" SMALL minds are out in full glory proclaiming their "superiority" by virtue of the ACCIDENT of their having been born with a white skin on their bones. And the lingoes are feeding the flames of hatred by their shelf worn "patriotism". And there are folks galore who gulp down all this dishwater with a relish. And still the voice of reason and the demands of conscience will not be silent. Thus a Japanese in the University of Chicago, in a recent lecture, said: "There are indeed inequalities of race as there are inequalities in individuals of the same race. But it is the dis-crimination on account of color, we do and must protest against." This is the same position. The color-prejudice stands condemned by reason and conscience! Let the Afro-American take note and govern himself accordingly. To submit to wrong without protest and an attempt to down it, is to DO WRONG! The California-Japanese "muddle" ought to bear its fruit in our home politics. We shall watch affairs closely and have more to say later on. LOUIS H. PECK PARDONED, AT LAST. All honor to Gov. James M. Cox. He has pardoned an innocent man— Louis H. Peck — who has served twelve long years of a life sentence (at hard labor) for a "crime" that was never committed at all. It was the vicious, false charge of criminal assault on a little six year old white girl that caused the Akron riot of 1900, during which two people were killed and the city hall burned. Immediately following the vicious and false charge of assault large mobs PETER H. formed in Akron streets. Officials became frightened and when Peck was arrested he was rushed to Cleveland for safe keeping. Believing him to be in the city prison, the mob broke into a saloon, secured two barrels of brandy, poured the contents on the floor of the city hall building, in which the prison was located, and set fire to it. During the riot two children were killed and 18 people were shot. The militia was called out. A week later Peck was taken back to Akron from Cleveland on a special train. The train was stopped behind the jail and Peck was taken in the back entrance. He was arraigned, scared into pleading guilty, was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary—all in two minutes—was rushed back to the train and was on the way to the penitentiary in Columbus—all within eight minutes. Former Warden Jones and the members of the state board of administration of the opinion that Peck is innocent and, because of the fact that he was given little opportunity to establish his innocence, they urged that he be set free. Peck was "railroaded" to the penitentiary. He was coached into pleading guilty and accepting a no evidence of an assault by Peck or any one else. The child was not harmed. Lead by Dr. Starr (white) ex-chapain of the Ohio penitentiary and now connected with the Y. M. C. A. at Columbus, a number of us—in Cleveland, Akron and Columbus—have for years labored, almost unceasingly, for the liberation of this innocent and long suffering man whose imprisonment is an outrage and blot upon the escutcheon of the great state of Ohio. Considerable praise for this final result should go to the venerable Judge Kohler of Akron, who years ago built the foundation on which the final successful effort to secure Peck's release, was made. All honor to Gov. Cox, and praise for Dr Starr, Judge Kohler, Ex-Warden Jones and ALL who in any way, during the past twelve years, contributed toward the long-standing and finally successful effort to regain for Louis H. Peck his liberty. Veregian- Cleveland, O., May 7, 1913. Gov. James M. OX. Columbus, O. Peck is innocent. Pardon, grand God bless you for it. Harry C. Smith. The above was sent the Governor on Wednesday afternoon, as soon as the news of his pardon of Louis H. Peck reached Cleveland. GOOD! EDITOR WALTON Lester A. Walton, managing editor of the N. Y. Age, deserves the thanks of our people, generally, for his successful efforts to induce the Associated Press to favor the spelling of the word Negro with a capital "N" because it is used to designate a race of people. The Gazette has done this since its inception, nearly thirty years ago, and it is right and proper. While the Associated Press cannot compel its clientage of 900 daily papers to accept its decision in the country, will have marked influence upon their so-doing, and also eventually induce the typographical unions of the country to arrive at the same conclusion. This will in time bring about the change and improvement greatly desired by Mr. Walton and all of our people. It will, too, please the intelligence of the country. Now let Mr. Walton and the N. A. A. C. P. leaders advise with the board of managers of the Associated Press relative to the lurid, untruthful and harmful lynching, riot and mob stories and other vicious anti-Negro accounts sent to it, and through it to the nine hundred American daily newspapers it serves, by its prejudiced southern and northern representatives, and more good, solid advance for the race will be made. PRESIDENT WILKINSON WRITES! Orangeburg, S. C., April 29, 1913. Dear friend S.M. Enclosed you will find check of $1.50 for my subscription as per bill. I have not had the opportunity, for some time, to write you, but I want you to feel that the old time friendship is ever burning for you. read our paper, "The Gazette" with increasing interest each week, and I am pleased to note the vigilant efforts you are continually exerting to make it a real tribune of the people. I long to see you and to tell you of the work we are trying to do here. I hope some day to be able to surprise you with a call. Till then, believe me. As ever your sincere friend. R. S. WILKINSON THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1913. THE COLOR-LINE IN U. S. SERVICE IN THE DEPARTMENTS AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL UNDER THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION. THE SOUTH IS IN THE SADDLE The New Democratic Association Recently Formed to Promote Race Segregation Somewhat Similar to That the Jews Suffer in Russia—Great Business Opportunity. Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C., May 5, 1913. Permanent organization of the National Democratic Fair Play Association was effected last night at a meeting of the New Democratic League, the organization aims to bring about the segregation of the white and Negro races in the government departments. Forty states were represented at the meeting, at which officers were elected and a constitution and by-laws adopted. State delegates were dispatched their respective territories to form subordinate councils of the organization. The officers elected were: President, Ernet D. Martin, Missouri; secretary and treasurer, R. M. Harrop, of South Dakota; state vice presidents, Barns, Alabama; L. G. Warfield, District Collector, Colorado; Florida; C. A. Cooper, Idaho; Robert J. Hamilton, Montana; L. H. Musgrave, Missouri; E. B. McClelland, Ohio; C. C. Wright, Oklahoma, and J. E. Estes, South Dakota. The other state vice presidents will be named at a meet tonight—Washington (D. C.) Post. The above named organization springs no surprise on the public here. To be sure a "fair play" organization, designed to perpetuate race distinctions based on color, is a ridiculous misnomed, a violation of the spirit of the Civil Service law, and a false expression of quixotic Southern chivalry which fawns and politically power, but arsitus, is "puffed up" arrogates to itself the exclusive right to determine and adjust the social status of the various people of the Universe, when "dressed in a little brief authority." The spirit, which has crystallized into the organization has been powerfully manifest ever since Taft announced his "new southern policy" based on the unjust, ungenerous, untrue assumption of the social and political inferiority of the colored people, in all of the executive departments of the government without regard to classification or without regard to have been for at least four years "jimcrowed" when ever and wherever it can be done with out extra cost to the Government, it is fair to state, however, that where the bureaues are dominated by the spirit of republicanism, race discrimination is at a minimum, in spite of the general trend accelerated by Taft's "scariemism." In the treasury department, the bureaues are Colored clerks than in any other department, "jimcrowism" is most noticeable. This may be accounted for in the fact that a democrat was at the head during Taft's administration and as was to be expected, that official filled all of the subordinate positions, such as chiefs of divisions bureaues, with democrats or with namby-pamby, prejudiced stay at-home republicans, who were anxious to strip even democrats in their anti-communist war of worth that in the bureaues where the Colored employees are most numerous "jimcrowism" is most rampant. In the office of the auditor for the post-office department, a branch of the treasury, Colored gentlemen and lady clerks are hidden away in dark corners, where they cannot be seen by passers-by, are made to work on machines and in other capacities requiring great physical labor and commanding the least wages, while white men and women of inferior intellectual attainments are given the lightest and most remunerative work to perform, under the best hygienic conditions. The discrimination started with a democratic auditor appointed by Taft and the vice president, the vice president pointed out to him before naming a successor, the President appointed a man who has outstripped his predecessor in tyranny injustice, and race discrimination: In the bureau of engraving and printing are many Colored employees, mostly ladies who are press-feeders and who obtained their positions by surpassing the whites in competitive examinations. Heretofore, these ladies have been accused of taking their linen, when desirable, at the lunch room, authorized by the department. Since Wilson has been President they have been told that the lunch room is for whites only, the result being that Colored ladies must eat their lunches at their machines or not at all. In the same bureau a Colored elevator-operator, acting under official instructions to take on no passengers while taking up money, has been accused of stealing the employee to stop and take him on. The operator took no notice of the demand whereupon the white employee exclaimed, "Stop, you g-d d-n r-1, am a white man and I will break your g-d d-n neck. We are in now." The Colored operator reported the matter, and when he was convicted it is yet to come, if such a thing be correct. All the same it is now up to the Negro democrats to strenuously endeavor to stay the tide of race prejudice and race persecution which is fast flowing northward, threatening our civil and political rights, and it is no less up to Colored republican voters to organize and demand that the next republican nominee for President shall be pledged to a policy which will preclude discrimination on account of color in all political affairs. A new phase of "jimcrowism" is looming up in the city. The policy of uniform discrimination against the race in the theaters, hotels, cafes, drug stores and what not, affords an opportunity for certain capitalists to gain a financial advantage of handsome financial returns. Financing the Howard Theater was the first venture, and the financiers are Jews. Though managed and patronized by Colored people, by far the largest share of the profits goes to said Jews. In view of the discrimination in our best dry goods houses, tailoring establishments, and shoe stores, where Colored persons are not allowed to try on the goods they purchase, we have to admit that financers are about to open a large department store for Colored people exclusively, where the clerks and other subordinate employees are to be Colored. In view of the fact that there are about 100,000 Colored people in this city, and that about three millions of dollars per annum are being received by department employees and school teachers alone, it becomes a very serious question as to whether the interests of the race are being permanently advanced by submitting to arrangements growing out of recognized race discriminations, in which the Colored people are to be exploited for the purposes of racial respect and in consideration of the paltry "sop" which a few clerkships constitute. Would it not be far better and creditable to form joint stock, cooperative or communal institutions of our own, financed and managed by members of the race? The splendid opportunities for material advancement here, coupled with the wide range of our problem-solving mercantile, of operational and business enterprises, constitute a most damaging argument in the hands of the enemies of the race, to which it would be very difficult for us to successfully reply. "GHAR." Haiti's President Dead! Port Au Prince, Haiti—The president of the republic of Haiti, General Tancrede Auguste, died May 2, after a brief illness. Danger in Illinois! Springfield, Ill.—House Bill 134, introduced by Representative Charles A. Karch, chairman of the judiciary committee, prohibiting the intermargage of Negroes and whites was reintroduced by the committee with recommendation for passage, last Wednesday. The "Full Crew" bill, after several amendments had been offered and tabled, was on motion of Senator Brady, referencing a committee of Brady, chairman; Olson and Chamberlin. Still Persecuting the Jews. St. Petersburg, Russia—Ex-Premier Witte's return to power and place in Russia, would mean putting a halt to the Jewish persecution, which has been pressed on as remorselessly as ever during the passover. The entire Jewish congregation in the province of Volhynia were driven from their settlements while they were actually at prayer, because the governor of the province decided they had wandered outside the pale of the settlements. Ragtime Immortal, if Words Were Better. Atlantic City, N. J.—"If ragtime music writers would stop putting questionable words to their lyrics their scores would live forever," said the Rev Arthur Pohlman, (white) of Idaho, who wrote the book of the Atlantic county Christian Endeavor Society here, April 29. The trouble lies in the fact that they marry a dream of a tune with a cussed lot of questionable words. Why, every time I hear the turkey trot I have to take an extra grip on myself to keep the song from being Methodist, the other Presbyterian," he added, while his audience laughed. A.

My dear Harry:—I congratulate you and your associates upon your fight and for your staying qualities. The state and national administration may change and yet, we will still have the lines for human rights, oppression—the curse of caste. Your good works are known outside of the great state of Ohio. With best wishes for your continued good health, I am USED AS "SAND BAGS!" Major Allen S. Pearl, Another Cleve- lander in the West, Writes Inter- estingly. Kansas City, Kan., May 2, 1913. Editor Gazette, My dear Friend:— You are very cordially invited to be with us on the night of May 9, 1913, when our class in Latin will attempt a dramatic and literary program based upon the immortal Aeneid of Vergil. As an introduction, there will be a short address of welcome to teachers representing different interests, am very proud that in the far west our people do not intend to give up all of the sublime things to other races, since in my humble way of thinking, gold and silver are good merely as steps that lead up to the soul's development. Whether you can be with us in body or not, long since have I known upon which side you fight in this battle for human rights. For too many of our people just "any kind of citizenship" will satisfy them. We were used along the Mississippi river for "sand bags," to hold back a flood. Comment unnecessary. With best wishes. Sincerely, as of yore, for the unlit A. S. PEAL Commandant Milkary Department Western University, OHIO MOTHERS' PENSION! How Our Here in Cleveland Can Get Them—Read and Remember. Juvenile court, which will have charge of the distribution of mothers' pensions in Cuyahoga county, has opened a bureau where needy mothers are to apply for aid. The law is for the benefit of mothers who have children not old enough to get certificates to work. It gives a maximum of $15 a month to a woman with a child with an additional maximum of $7 for each other child. Needy mothers should write or call on Tom Lewis, chief probation officer, old courthouse. Each application will be investigated by Miss Kennedy, a probation officer, and if it is proved a fraudulent attempt has been made to get a pension, the offender is liable to punishment. Lewis has already received several applications, but it will be at least eight months before money will be available for distribution. It is expected it will take $120,000 a year to pay the needy mothers in this county. "THE WOLF AND THE LAMB" is the title of a very interesting pamphlet, written and published by Editor W. P.

One of the ladies was free to say that "the talk was short and to the point." Some one ought to remind Councilman FitzGerald of the 11th ward that we insist on the extension of E. 24th St. to Cedar Ave, if not to streets farther north, before he need expect to be included by our people. Dr. H. C. Bailey and Antioch Baptist church should serve formal notice on Mr. FitzGerald and soon, too.

Mrs. Perry Marion died at the Glennville Hospital, April 21, after an operation for tumor. Her death was a shock to many friends. Funeral services were held at the family residence, 2334 E. 29th St. April 23, Rev. Chas. Bundy officiating. The deceased leaves a husband, son, five sisters and two brothers to mourn her loss. We want our readers to call their friends' and acquaintances' attention, particularly to the advertisement of the Hotel Marion, in the area. It is just what it claims to be—a fine, up-to-date place and Cape May an ideal summer resort. The Gazette cannot comment it too strongly to all good people, and knows whereof it speaks.

About 5,000 people viewed the remains here and many more in凳yokan. Kw, where 40 tullers were in the pulpit during the funeral services. Rev. E. A. White, a former pastor of Cory, would make an excellent successor to Dr. Sissle. J. E. Thompson, former pastor of Zion Baptist church, East End, has opened a three meat market and grief center at 343 Market Ave. just where the needed item was. Now let our people show proper appreciation and purchase everything from him they can get. Do not commence finding fault but go and do what you what you would want done in your own case if you had opened that store to sell meat and cheese at the avenue. Show some real race pride and race interest. Talk is cheap and does not help enough in such cases. Charles R. Simmons, after years in the business in Detroit, has returned to this city and opened his rug and carpet cleaning works at 2180 E. 36th St. corner of Cedar Av.

He is the author of the rules and guidelines first class work at the most reasonable prices. See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper and stop giving your work to others. We simply must patronize our own business men every time we can do so.

An Additional Indictment, Making Seven in All—Belle Schreiber, Chicago, Ill.—An additional indictment, amendatory of a previous indictment, was returned April 30 by the Federal grand jury charging "Jack" Johnson, the prize fighter, with violation of the Mann "white slave act." The indictment alleged that Johnson brought Belle Schreiber, "otherwise known as Mrs. J. J. Johnson," from Pittsburgh to Chicago Oct. 15, 1910, "for immoral purposes" and in perpetration of a serious crime. The fighter was in court when the indictment was returned and entered a plea of not guilty. Jack's case was taken up, Monday, before Federal Judge Carpenter. The government's star witness, Belle Schreiber, (white), formerly a manicurist, of the江湖, Wis., and later a business actress, is being prosecuted at a downtown hotel by government agents, it is said. U. S. attorneys say she is ready to testify that Johnson transported her from one state to another for immoral purposes. The girl was brought here by Oscar Pignollo, special white slave commissioner of New York. The outlook for Jack is not bright, if the woman in the case has really been secured and will testify against him as expected. Separate School Abandoned. Roswell, New Mexico—Our people of this town who formerly had a separate school, are now sending their children to the mixed school and have abandoned their separate school. Good!

Lled at the Brewery PICKS DARK HORSE FOR PENSION CHIEF Wilson Names Ohio Man for Commissioner. Members of Buckeye Delegation Are Taken by Surprise as They Thought Dr. Gentsch of New Philadelphia Would Get Plum. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson took a majority of the members of the Ohio delegation completely by surprise with the announcement that he had determined to appoint Gaylord M. Saltzgaber of Van Wert pension commissioner to succeed James L. Davenport. The pension commissioner is by far the biggest bit of patronage the new administration has given to Ohio and the plum goes to a man with whom not more than three of the Ohio congressmen have even a speaking acquaintance. Tella Ohio Senators. Tennessee Senators. Headed by Senator Pomerene the Ohio delegation with the exception of Representative T. T. Ansberry of Deffance, repeatedly and endorsed Dr. D. C. Gentsch of New Philadelphia. A determined campaign was waged for Dr. Gentsch. Three weeks ago the entire delegation gathered at the White House in behalf of Dr. Gentsch. Wednesday morning a special committee named by the delegation again called at the White House and urged the president to nominate Dr. Gentsch. This committee was composed of Representatives Sherwood, Allen, Whitacre and Ashbrook. The president listened attentively, but gave the committee not the glighest intimation of his intention to appoint another Ohio man. Less than four hours later the president went to the Capitol. He immediately summoned Senators Burton and Pomerene. Burton first went into the president's room just off the senate chamber and was asked if he had any objection to Saltzgaber. He said he did not know much about him, but had no objection to his appointment. The president then called for Senator Pomerene and told him he had made up his mind to nominate Saltzgaber. President's Comment. The only comment made by the president concerning his turn down of Dr. Gentsch, who had an imposing lot of indorsements, including that of Gov. Cox, was: "Sometimes a man is too well indorsed." Senator Pomerene was visibly disturbed by the presidential announcement, although he said he had felt for three weeks that Dr. Gentsch was out of the race. He will offer no objection to the confirmation of Saltzgaber, despite the fact that his own indorsement did not meet with the favor of the president. The new commissioner of pensions will have direct supervision of the expenditure of more than $200,000,000 annually. In addition to the enormous outlay for pensions there are thousands of employees in the pension bureau with an aggregate salary list of close to $180,000 a month. Because of the flood of private pension bills, the commissioner is in more direct touch with the members of congress, perhaps, than the head of any other government bureau. Men and Women Will Both Wear Trouseres in 2013 A. D. According to Prophecy in Playlet. Washington, D. C.—in 2013 A. D. men and women will both wear trousers and kissing will be a lost art, according to the prophecy in a new playlet written by Mrs. Barney Hemmick, the fairy godmother of Washington society. Mrs. Hemmick will produce the play for the first time as the curtain raiser to her suffrage play which will be presented by an all, suffrage cast on May 20. In addition to the above noted changes, Mrs. Hemmick predicts that in 2013 character as well as health certificates will be required attachments to marriage licenses. New York City. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee, has issued a call for a meeting of the executive committee at the New Willard hotel in Washington on May 24. The meeting will consider the demand for a special national convention to change the basis of representation. Senator Cummins and other leaders want the basis of the vote cast in each state for the Republican candidate for president changed, thus reducing the power of the southern states in the national conventions. Suffocate Again Use Bomb London, England — Bombs, used for months by militant suffrages in an effort to force the passage of the woman's votes bill, following defeat of the measure in parliament, Wednesday were employed in revenge. As a result, only the timely discovery of an infernal machine in St. Paul's cathedral, the world's finest Protestant church building, saved that edifice from demolition or serious injury. An attempt to wreck the ancient St. Paul cathedral by a bomb is attributed to the militant suffrages. Mitchell for Customs Post Washington, D. C—John Purry Mitchell, chairman of the New York board of aldermen and candidate for mayor of New York, has been nominated by President Wilson to be collector of the port of New York. Mitchell's selection was decided upon at a lengthy conference between the president and Senator O'Gorman of New York. The New York senator had previously threatened to resign from congress if Franklin K. Polk were nominated for the collectorship, Mr. Mitchell is a compromise candidate. SPORTS Walter G. Andrews and Arthur Bluententhall, both members of the senior class, have been appointed field coaches of the Princeton football team for next year by the board of athletic control. AQUATIC Yale denials that an English rowing coach would be brought over for the Harvard race are now at an end. Gold, the (famous Oxford coach, will have charge of the Blue's crew for four weeks preceding the Harvard race. The Olympic games swimming events at Berlin, in 1916, will be decided in a bath constructed in the hollow of the Grunwald racing track. It will be 104 meters over all and one hundred meters between the "touch." Cornell has awarded the varsity "C" to the wrestling team which won the intercollegiate championship. Al Wesam of St. Louis defeated Henry Wirth of Chicago in straight falls at St. Louis in a lightweight wrestling contest. Henry Ordeman and Jess Westergaard made short work of a wrestling match at Des Moines. Westergaard won the first fall in 13:00 and Ordeman the second and third in 17:00 and 8:00 respectively. The Longwood Cricket club, of Chestnut Hill, near Boston, has decided to erect the proposed covered courts for lawn tennis. The Southern Tennis championships will be held June 23 at New Orleans. The State tournament here will be concluded probably in time to permit Texas as stars to enter. The tie matches between the American tennis players and the Australasian team in competition for the Dwight F. Davis 'international challenge cup will begin on June 6 on the courts of the West Side Tennis club at New York. PUGILISM Pat Drouillard and Frankie White of Chicago fought a six round draw at Grand Rapids. The legislative committee has decided to recommend for passage the boxing bill legalizing bouts in Wisconsin Tommy Howell of Philadelphia and Clarence (Wildcat) Ferns of Kansas City, weiter weights, fought ten rounds to a draw at Kansas City. Frank Howers of Chicago was knocked put by Dan Daley of Newcastle, Pa. in the third round of a scheduled six round bout at Scranton, Pa. Luther McCarty won the decision over Jim Flynn in their six round fight at Philadelphia. The cowboy fighter showed more cleverness than in his first battle with the Pueblo fireman and led in almost every round. An elimination contest to decide the welter, middle heavy weight champions of the world's white fighters is to be held in Calgary, Alta., according to an announcement by Tommy Burns, former heavy weight champion. The first bout will be between McIntyre of Canada and Griffith of Cincinnati on May 21. BASEBALL Senor Severoid is showing up remarkably well behind the bat for the Reds. Evers has demonstrated he is going to be the boss of the Cubs while he holds the title. They say this is Charley Carr's last year with the Kansas City Blues unless he makes good. Harry N. Hempstead, president of the Giants, predicts another good year for the New Yorkers. Hans Wagner declares that young Everett Boe is the coming star infielder of the major leagues. Vean Gregg is reported to have said that his brother Dave will be a greater twirler than Walter Johnson. They say that McGraw's greatest strength lies in his substitutes. Muggsy has got a few good subs. Chance's success as manager of the Highlanders is to depend very much on the success of Hal Chase at second. A new member of the University of Chicago baseball string is Kellip pannunlhouna Achi, an Hawaiian student. Schulte is starting the season better than ever. He is out to make a record for himself in the home-run line this year. Lou Criger, the veteran catcher now coaching the young Brownies, avers that Stallings will make a real team of Boston. George Stallings, the new leader of the Braves, announces he has several surprises for the fans of the country this year. It is rumored that Frank Farrell may buy a slice of the Island of Bermuda and establish permanent training quarters there. George Dauss, pitcher, of Detroit, has the honor of being one of the few men that Sam Crawford has ever named as looking good as a player. --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C.

The score at the end of the twenty-seventh inning was: Hoppe, 200; Mayer, 273. Hoppe played 18-1 to Mayer's 18-2. Following the recent successful attempt to stage tennis tournaments at night on illuminated courts, the Woodbury (N. J.) Country club has given the installation of a lighting system for the golf links, and plans a night golf tournament soon. Lawrence Auchterlonie, the National open golf champion of America in 1801, will soon return to this country as professional for Ravisloe near Chicago. England will have its golf champion at the American tournament at Brookline, even in the event of Harry Vardon or Edward Ray falling to win.

Moross, former manager of the Indianapolis speedway, is making every effort to carry the 1815 Vanderbilt cup and grand prize races to the San Francisco Panama-Pacific exposition. Maurice Prevost, a French aviator at Monte Carlo, won the Schneider cup for hydro-aeroplanes, which carries with it a prize of $5,000. The other starters were Roland Garros, Gabriel Espanet, and Charles T. Weymann. If the English Oxford-Cambridge team defeats Harvard and Yale in the dual international meet, the British victory will probably be largely due to one man, Ashington of Cambridge, whose recent performance in the 125-yard hurdles, the running broad, and the half-mile stamp him as one of the world's coming athletes. Woman, Noted for Inquisitiveness, Finally Finds Out Why Father Hadn't Seen Baby. "I have a wife and four children in Chicago, and I have never seen one of them," remarked a Chicago man one evening. Mrs. Dodge, who was noted for her inquisitiveness, looked toward him in great surprise. After a moment's pause she asked: "Were you ever blind, Mr. Evans?" "No, madam." was the reply. "Did you marry a widow?" the woman inquired. "No. Indeed," he said. There was silence again while the inquisitive woman tried to solve the problem to her satisfaction. Failing to do so the asked: "Didn't I understand you to say, Mr. Evans, that you had a wife and four children in Chicago and had never seen one of them?" "Yes, that was what I said." Yes, that was what I said. "How can it be that you never saw one of them, Mr. Evans?" asked the woman. "Why, madam," replied the man, "one of them was born after I left"—Harper's Bazar.

FIRST MAKE TEST OF GOODS Stuff That Is Attractively Pretty on the Counter May Be Utterly Lacking in Practical Qualities—Dry Cotton fabrics this season exhibit so much variety and originality that the difficulty of making a satisfactory choice is even greater than usual. Women examine the curiously beautiful new stuffs with evident appreciation, but just as evident a doubt as to their practical qualities. Shrewd inquiries on this point have been so frequent that the salespeople have become almost parrotlike in their declaration that they guarantee nothing. "It is sold to us as wash goods," they say. But they firmly and promptly add: "We do not guarantee it. We advise dry cleaning." This wise counsel applies to many of the novelties, such as the ratines of unusual tints, the crepes and volles in printed designs or with wool embridered flowers or colored ratine borders; to the colored volles with white ratine or boucle stripes, and so on. Undoubtedly some of these things will wash satisfactorily. But if one is to depend on the tub for cleansing them, one should get samples and subject them to a severe test before buy- 9 Dainty Dress. ing. As for being ironed—common sense should teach you that most of these fabrics would utterly lose their chief effect if they were subjected to the iron. The solid colored ratfines, eponges, volours and similar materials will not quicken, and dry cleaning therefore would not only safer, but also a not-too-expensive way of treating them. This is particularly true of many of the more elaborate new models which are far too complicated to be handled with success by the ordinary laundress. For example, a striking dress of Copenhagen blue eponge, combined with batiste of the same shade, was displayed in one of the shops last week. The skirt and the lower part of the corsage were of the eponge, while the necessary lightness and semi-transparency were given to the upper half of the batiste and trimming it with cutout ornaments of the eponge. The result was a really handsome gown. But it would be ruined if it ever went to the tub. Novelties That Survive the Tub. Of course, such a gown could be worn a long time without showing soil. But it must be remembered that eponge does muss. The soft pile of the fabric crushes, especially in the back of the skirt, as the result of being much sat upon. This is even more the case with the lovely cotton velours, declares a writer in the Kansas City Star. For that reason the crepes, volles and the harder finished ratines are more practical for ordinary wear. There is a great difference in the ratines. Some have a deep, loose pile and others a rather hard cord finish with comparatively few and very short "nubbins." The latter undoubtedly will give better service. A smart little frock of this material was in white with irregular black stripes. It was a one-piece affair, having straight skirt lapped at one side of the front. The belt, collar and cuffs were of plain white crash embroidered in dull blue. These ratines are also good for coat suits. For young women the combination of Russian blouse and plain skirt is the best model to follow in this fabric. Some of the blouse suits in yellow, or leather colored, ratine are most attractive this year. For an older woman a good model was shown in lavender. It was made with a plain skirt and strictly tailored coat; one Youthful Politician. John's father is a politician, and he often delights the said father with his precoceity. One day the mother, entering the playroom, found John receiving condicion punishment at the hands of his peers. Knowing her son, she went to the heart of the matter, thus: "John, what have you been doing?" "Nawinthin." Only playin' politics." "Well, but what did you do to the other children?" "Just played convention. We adopted the unit rule, an' I was chairman of those familiar, but always good looking straight coats, about 26 or 27-inch length, which are beginning to show themselves occasionally as an agreeable contrast to the multidustious varieties of cutaways. The only trimming was buttons of lavender and white on both coat and skirt. Advantage in Tunic. Tunicies are used in a great many of the wash dresses, in both heavy and lightweight materials. They are becoming to most and give an opportunity for a good deal of originality in design and trimming. With the tunic it is possible also to have a frock which seems to be rather elaborate yet can be done up by the average laundress. A very handsome dress of this kind was seen in white vile with a deep border of coarse white ratine fillet. The tunic, which reached almost to the hem of the foundation skirt, was finished at the bottom with the border, while the underskirt was plain. The lower part of the waist was made of the coarse ratine openwork, which was used also for the bottom of the three-quarter sleeves and for the square turned-back collar. With this was worn a narrow belt of Chinese blue leather, with a colored design running around it and finishing at one side of the front with two pendants of imitation lappets lazuli and lace. Flounced Skirt Models. The thin materials, such as embroidered batiste, volle, crepe and mousse-line, are frequently made up in flounced skirts. The return of the double or triple flounce is indeed one of the most conspicuous things in the summer styles. But these floures are scalloped, so the lower one generally has even less fullness than the upper one, so as to give the prevailing effect of narrowness at the ankles. An extremely pretty frock for a young girl has the double flounce of embroidered batiste with scalloped edges. The scallops of the upper flounce are edged with a frill of net about an inch and a half deep. The lower flounce finishes with the plain scallops. Many of the voiles are embroidered in colors and have the colored scalloped edges. These are made up in the flounced skirts or in plain skirts, with the scallops at the bottom instead of a hem. A jacket of the Russian blouse order may go with this skirt; the scallops taking the place of the usual hemmed edges. All-over openwork embroideries also are made up in flounced skirts. They are used, too, for tunics, in which they are combined with lace, and are worn over a foundation skirt which is an elaborate mixture of plain material, with two or three different kinds of lace. This use of several different varieties of lace is characteristic of many of the high priced imported gowns. Models Can Be Copied. As a rule, however, these models are so elaborate as to be impossible for the average woman, both because of their initial cost and because of the difficulty and expense of having them cleaned. The same use of materials can be followed by any dressmaker and the other. This observation applies also to the use of net, or washable tulle. It is made up with lace and battiste into dresses which, it must be admitted, are lovely. But they would defy anything but the most expert—and expensive—cleansing. And yet this very material is one of the most durable and most easily laundered. A dressmaker, even a home one, can use it to advantage in making waists, and, in combination with other fabrics, whole frocks which could be sent to the tub without a qualm. Sleeves in the cotton frocks are seldom full length. In many of the more dressy ones they stop just above the elbow. Necks are almost universally open; a summer fashion which deserves to be perpetuated. Some of the long sleeves have fullness, which is brought into a cuff, but this fullness does not form a deep pouch. Other sleeves have rather a wide mouth, something like a child's short sleeve. The illustration shows an attractive and usertui dress in powder blue delineate with a ring spot of black. The skirt is opened at the left side of front to show a pleating of plain delineate; above this the right side is draped up to a scrap of the plain which is taken from the waist. The cross-over bodice has the sleeve set in under a wrapped seam; straps of material edge the elbow, and the under-sleeves are of plain finely pleated delineation; this is also used for vests; a ribbon to match is taken round the waist, ends of it hang down the back. Materials required: 6 yards delineate 28 inches wide 1½ yard plain 40 inches wide. Under Sheer Blouses Handsome corset covers or underbodies to wear under thin fabrics are fashioned from shadow lace with a tracery of a green vine on which blossom pastel-colored chiffon buds. Ribbon extends over the shoulder and glimmers through the transparent velling of the blouse. There are also models in pink or blue crepe de chine with trimmings of lace, and in net with puffings through which ribbon is run. Linen Economy. For the woman who has no maid or who has a small apartment and does her own laundry work a great deal of labor may be saved by using paper napkins instead of linen ones, when there are no guests present. The laundering of napkins takes quite a little time and care and one might just as well have that time for a bit of rest or reading. Paper towels, too, have been where there are children will also be found a great labor-saving device. of the delegation.

LADY'S NOVEL TAILORED SUIT. 6178 The demi-tailored suit is now the style, and prevaila to a much larger extent than the severe models of a couple of years ago. The illustration shows an ideal design for one of these street dresses. It has a coat blouse, made quite plain in both front and back. The closing is slightly on the bias, and the overlapping side is outlined by simple sharp revers, which may be omitted if desired. The neck is finished with a large, handsome collar. The skirt is a two piece model, and the closing may be placed at either of the seams. The dress is one which will develop well in faille, in soft brocade for the coat, with a plain material in the same color for the skirt. It will also be appropriate for cotton fabrics, such as sponge, linen and the like. The dress pattern (6118) is cut in sizes 34 to 42 inches bust measure. Medium size requires $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards of 44 inch material. To procure this pattern, send 19 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper, to give size and number of fabric. LADY'S TWO PIECE SKIRT. G194 The two piece skirt remains a favorite, but it is now shown with certain modifications. In the present instance the material is slightly gathered across the back at the waist line, and a little fulness is drawn, to one side and held at knee depin at the side seam. The skirt may be high waisted or of normal waist line, as preferred, the high waist being better for part of a costume and normal waist preferred to separate skirts to be worn with edd waists. This skirt may be made of all woolen materials, such as serge and cheviot, of fallle, of linen, and of other heavy wash fabrics. The skirt pattern (6194) is cut in sizes 22 to 30 inches, waist measure. Medium size requires 2½ yards of 36 inch material. To procure this pattern, send 10 cents to the manufacturer of the skirt.
