Bayless, president of the Bayless Pulp and Paper company, and Frederick M. Hamlin, superintendent of the company, were placed on trial at Wellsboro, Pa., for alleged criminal responsibility for the breaking of the dam at Austin, Pa., on September 303, 1911, which resulted in the loss of 80 lives. Herman Coppes, fourteen years old, slayer of Mrs. Minnie Sleep and her two babies at East Plato, Ill., April 14, plued guilty in court at Geneva, Ill., and was sentenced by Judge Irwin to life imprisonment in the Joliet penitentiary, one day of each month to be spent in solitary confinement.

Wilsher, in an American Mercer, was second, Merz, in an American-made Stutz, captured third place. At least a score of persons were drowned from small boats in Hampton Roads by a tornado which hit Norfolk, Va., razing houses and doing great damage to other property, Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Old Point Comfort were also hit hard. Theodore Roosevelt won his libel suit at Marquette, Mich., against George A. Newett, editor of the Ishpeming iron Iron. Damages, however, were only nominal—six cents—made possible by the attitude of the colonel, who told the court he did not seek a punitive verdict. Personal Fred Nevels, chief clerk of the Waters-Pierce Oil company for five years at Oklahoma City, Okla., was arrested in Los Angeles, Cal., on a charge of having embezzled $7,500. Alfred Austin, British poet laureate since 1886, is dead at his home in Kent, at the age of seventy-seven. He had been ill some time. A monument to the memory of Mai. Archibald Butt, who lost his life in the Titanic disaster, was dedicated in the national cemetery at Arlington. Edwin A. Wilson, a prominent real estate dealer of Springfield, Ill., was killed by the locomotive of a west-bound Baltimore & Ohio passenger train. Miss Katherine Elkins and her mother, Mrs. Stephen B.

SALVATORE Washington A steady advance in meat and meat products is forecasted by a report of the department of agriculture. The report shows there is an increasing scarcity of meat animals and an increasing demand. Reversing its former action in voting to place wheat flour, oat meal and fresh meats on the dutiful list, the senate finance committee subcommittee in charge of the agricultural schedule, voted to place live stock, wheat and oats on the free list. With the declaration that the Japanese are infinitely preferable to the immigrants of southern Europe, Rt. Rev. Charles Henry Brent, Episcopal bishop of the Philippines, expects to visit the state department at Washington and discuss the oriental problem with Secretary Bryan. Former United States Senator Thomas Witherell Palmer, one of Detroit's oldest and most prominent citizens, is dead at Detroit, after a long illness. He was born in this city in 1830. He was ejected to the United States senate in 1883. President Wilson, in a letter to Senator Tillman, which the latter has made public, makes it plain that he is in favor of currency legislation at the present session of congress. Tariff and currency reform went into eclipse when the senate sub-committee on the judiciary committee began its hearings in its hunt for "the numerous and insidious lobby" which President Wilson has said is at work threatening legislation. A committee of postoffice department officers reported that the department "did not attain a condition of self-support during the administration of Postmaster General Hitchcock, notwithstanding the widely advertised announcement to that effect, although an apparent surplus was attained by unjustifiable methods of bookkeeping." The United States senate adopted a resolution instructing the judiciary committee to investigate President Wilson's charges that a lobby is being maintained in Washington to influence pending legislature, with particular emphasis upon its efforts for or against the Underwood tariff bill now before the finance committee. Secretary Bryan announces that eight nations have responded favorably to his peace plan, asking that suggestions be submitted in regard to details. The nations, in the order in which they have accepted, are Italy, Great Britain, France, Brazil, Sweden, Norway, Peru and Russia. Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois was the speaker of the day at the Decoration day services at the National Soldiers' home in Washington. He pleaded for peace, but declared that no man now living would see the day when wars would cease. "Joy riding" by irresponsible persons in automobiles "borrowed" from their owners received a decided setback in Washington when Seymour Anderson, a negro youth, was taken to the penitentiary to serve a three-year term for such an infringement of the law, and Charles Jefferson, a negro chauffeur for Representative Mondell of Wyoming, began a six months' sentence for a similar infraction. Domestic Ohio postoffice inspectors raided the offices of the Standard Mercantile company, a mail order grocery concern in Cleveland, O., and arrested Leopold Kahn, the proprietor, on a charge of using the mails to defraud. Hell and hell fire are myths in the opinion of members of the international Bible Students' association, who are holding a district convention in Hot Springs, Ark. Fire destroyed the plant of the Daily News Publishing company at Canton, O., causing a loss estimated at $50,000. Fire at Rock Island, Ill., caused by lightning, destroyed the barns of the Tri-City Railway company, with forty cars, causing a loss of $400,000. Street car service was restored by drafting cars from the Davenport and Muscatine trains of the company. The board of health of New York city adopted a resolution forbidding the use of living bacterial organisms in the inoculation of human beings for the treatment of disease unless permission is obtained from the board. Oscar M. Auerbach, convicted last winter of the murder of Harry W. Fisher of Chicago, was granted a new trial by the Michigan supreme court. Auerbach is serving a life sentence in Jackson prison. --- ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913. SCHOOL YEAR AT TUSKEGEE ENDS Great Throngs of Visitors Enjoy Inspiring Program. Thirty-second Commencement Exercises of Noted Southern Industrial Institution Affords Opportunity For Personal Contact With Faculty and Students—Many Diplomas Awarded. By CLEMENT RICHARDSON BY CLEMENT RICHARDSON With Tuskegee Ala.-With an eloquent commencement sermon by Dr. John E White of Atlantas and a stirring commencement address by Dr. Robert E Jones of New Orleans, Tuskegee Institute closed its thirty-second commencement exercises Thursday, May 29. As usual, special trainloads of visitors, both white and colored, came in from Montgomery, Opeleka and Birmingham, Ala., while through the country an endless carnav of wagons, buggies, horsemen and people foot raced with sunrise in getting on the Tuskegee grounds and "fixed" before the exercises began. For a decade or so Tuskegee institu- tus has followed the scheme of illustrating its students' commencement speeches with some phase of the work the speaker has done in his trade. As the school has about forty industries, nice picking is required in order to get around or to get the trade at which the student can work and talk or, rather, speak at the same time. An- MARY MISS. LILLA WASHINGTON. other problem is to select topics which, while they may show to the audience what the student can do, will have for their main purpose to instruct many of the visitors who come in from the cities and rural districts. With this in view subjects of the kind following were discussed and illustrated by the students: Lilla Washington, niece of Principal Washington, graduating as a milliner and from the teachers' professional course, showed how the various branches could be taught by means of common material. Choosing corn as her material, she illustrated how this common product, suitable for use in city or country, could be made the basis of computation in arithmetic, subject matter for lessons in grammar, geography and reading and spelling, showing at the same time the student acquiring at first hand knowledge of the growth and growing of corn and its many byproducts. Junius Kitchens, a young man graduating from the truck garden division, discussed and illustrated "Diversified Trucking," showing by use of the calendar and study of weather and soil how the farmer or trucker of the south could keep one crop in the ground and another on the market all the year round. Of equally instructive value to the farmers was the speech of William Burke on the "Economic Production of Pork." By actually dipping a pig and smoking meat on the stage, this young man demonstrated to the audience how to raise pork on a paying basis in the southland. As be told how much and what feeds to give the animal to produce a good animal, to produce a good ham and a good "middling," the farmers sat up and took notice, as the saying goes, for they were discovering new methods whereby pig raising in the south could be done on a paying basis. Of decided interest to the women folk in the audience was the planning of a four room cottage by two girl graduates, Nancy L. Thomas and Ethal Story, the former a graduate in cooking, and the latter in upholstering and handicrafts. With four rooms stationed on the platform, the first young lady showed how a spot should be selected on which to build a cottage, what surroundings it should have, how the rooms should be situated and how the furniture and utensils should be placed in the dining room and kitchen. Her share in the cottage was brought to a close by announcing a menu, setting a table and cooking and serving a meal. Miss Story followed with the decoration and care of the rooms. She illustrated how to cover the walls inexpensive with burlap, this burlap being ordinary crocus sack dyed to suit the purpose, how to make inexpensive but attractive and durable rugs, how to renovate the mattress and how to choose and hang pictures. Neither were the mechanical trades omitted. Tacus Gallard, a brick mason by trade, the saltatorian, gave interesting statistics on "The Demand For Architect and Builder." Philip Laland, a carpenter, constructed and bung a door, while the valedictorian closed with "The Progress of the Negro Mechanic During the Last Fifty Years." All told, about 200 certificates and diplomas were given out, covering nearly every trade taught in the institution. Philsa Hall Bible Training School.

The Pennsylvania State Federation of Women's Clubs held its tenth annual executive meeting in the St. James A. M. E. church, Pittsburgh, on Thursday, May 22. The sessions were well attended by the general officers, superintendents and delegates from the various clubs. The Rev. C. A. McGee, pastor of the church, gave the federation's cordial welcome. Virginia Rural School Supervision. There is being carried on in twenty-five counties in the rural sections of Virginia a fine type of educational effort known as school demonstration work. The effort is rich in promise and will in time yield splendid results. GAINS SUCCESS IN NEW STATE GRADUATED WITH HONORS. Young Practitioner After Few Years' Residence in Arkansas Decides to Make Wagoner His Permanent Home. Mississippians In Oklahoma Are Among the Most Thrify Citizens. Wagoner, Okla.—Mississippi has reason to be proud of the record of her sons who have within recent years taken up residence in Oklahoma. They have sought new homes in a new and strange territory. Everywhere the thrifty farmer, with years of experience in the cultivation of cotton, corn and other products back in Mississippi, can be found here. Numbers of those who are engaged in agricultural pursuits, as well as ROBERT W. SMITH, M. D. those who follow the professions, own their homes. The Mississippian in Oklahoma is making a good record in commercial life. The various business enterprises are operated with skill and strict economy in buying, which enables the merchants to measure arms with the most shrewd competitors. In the professions there are physicians, lawyers, educators and architects of wide experience. Here in Wagoner a number of Mississippians coming from various localities have located. As elsewhere in the state, the Mississippian is found actively engaged in almost every field of life's pursuit. At the head of the profession employed easily stands Dr. Robert W. Smith, a product of the garden spot of his native state, Natchez, where he was born thirty-nine years ago. Dr. Smith's parents were among the best known people in Natchez, and some of his forbears held high political offices with credit and ability for years. His early education was acquired in the public schools of Natchez, and these schools have always been conducted on a high and thorough basis. In 1859, his father having died, his mother moved to St. Joseph, La., where she afterward married Mr Samuel Andrews. In 1800 Dr. Smith entered the Alcorn (Miss.) Agricultural and Mechanical college, graduating with honors in the class of 1897 with the degree of bachelor of arts. During his college days he had opportunity of gaining considerable skill in the use of tools in the carpentry, blacksmithing, shoe-making and other industrial departments of Alcorn college, and through his energy and determination he was able to materially lessen the total expense of his training upon his parents. Leaving Alcorn in June, 1897, he entered Meharry Medical school at Nashville, Teen., in the fall and began a course in medicine. This course he finished in 1900, and backed by his diploma and an overabundant supply of nerve and pluck rather than riches, he began the practice of his profession in the spring of 1900 at Lake Village, Ark. Dr. Smith met with great success in Arkansas, but after three years Oklahoma began to claim his attention, and so it was in 1903 that he finally made up his mind to try his fortune in the new state and subsequently settled here in Wagoner. Here he has had success almost from the start, and this he has accomplished by sticking close to his professional duties and his ability to win and preserve friendships among all classes of people. He is interested in every good movement for the uplift of his race, being an officer in a number of secret organizations and also an active member of the A. M. E. church. Dr. Robert W. Smith, on account of his expert ability in difficult and dangerous cases, has the esteem and respect not alone of his fellow Negro physiciana, but also the white practitioners of his community. The doctor has a large practice which demands his services not only locally, but at neighboring cities and throughout the country surrounding Wagoner. He resides in a beautiful, well kept home with Mrs. Smith and his mother. New Members of Kern Valley Lodge. Kern Valley lodge, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Bakersfield Cal., recently added five new member, to its roll at a largely attended meeting. Most Noble Grand Master Rev. J. W. Price conducted the initiatory ceremony. The new members are R. S. Houston, A. T. Jones, S. E. Dyson, Roy Jones and Bickers Jenkins. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The history of womanhood in America would be incomplete without note being taken of the heroic struggle of the colored women born in this country, who, from the time of their liberation from slavery, have been exerting every effort to overcome in their race the effects of a bondage extending over unnumbered centuries, writes Frederic J. Haskin. The Afro-American woman demonstrates more than do most others the tender, maternal instinct of the primeval woman, who would labor and suffer and bear strong sons whose vigor might add to the greatness of the world. The development of this great nation necessitated the freedom of the one-time slave. Unequipped with the training and education needed for the new duties and responsibilities freedom brought to them, the colored women from the beginning keenly felt the responsibility of preparing her family for the new life dawning upon them. the association is one of general helpfulness, which is expressed in its motto, "Lifting as We Climb." Most of the problems which confront the white wife and mother come also to her colored sister. The difficulties of the latter are largely increased by the barriers of race. The colored women are just as anxious to educate their children and to have a high standard of living as the white women. The number of uneducated women who will toll over a wash tub all day long in order to keep their children in school demonstrates this. But their ambitions are gained only by a constant struggle such as the white woman has never even imagined. In all the history of its pioneer work in the development of the Negro folk songs, Fisk university had never given such a concert as was presented to an enthusiastic audience last night in Ryman auditorium, the largest hall No greater task ever came to the women of any nation, and the loyalty with which they are fulfilling it must appeal to any one who will consider for a moment some of their achievements in the face of great obstacles. The colored woman recognizes the value of education far more than the colored man, as is evidenced by the much larger number of colored women than men now found in the higher schools. It was only the exceptional colored woman, a generation or two ago, who, by the aid of some kindly disposed friends, and usually by untold sacrifice and exertion on her own part, was able to secure an education which demonstrated her fitness for something more than the menial drudgery which had been considered the lot of the women of her race. Having achieved an advantage for herself, she did not selfishly enjoy it, but, in almost every instance, devoted her added advantage to help others of her race. Like the white woman, the progressive colored woman realized the value of organization. When the great Federation of Women's clubs was organized several of the clubs, composed of educated colored women, were credulous enough to believe that the motto "Unity in Diversity" was broad enough to include the enlightened women of their race who were working toward the general uplift of humanity. The refusal of the general federation to admit Mrs. Ruffin, as a delegate from the New Era club of Boston, answered this assumption. Stung by this rebuff, the colored women realized that for the present they must receive aid from organizations composed entirely of their own race. The National Association of Colored Women in the United States now fills a greater place in the development of the colored women of the country than does the general federation for the white women. Its bonds are closer and more sympathetic because of the discouragements its members so frequently receive. This organization, which has grown from a comparatively small body, organized in Washington in 1896, now represents more than 150,000 colored women in its membership. It has state federations in most of the states and is strongest in the south. The association recognizes the fact that whether cultured or not, the colored woman receives practically the same treatment from the white public. The women who have culture therefore really help themselves in helping those who have not, and the spirit of Disunion is the result of perverted judgment or a lack of understanding which, in either case, is hurtful. Ignorance is a fruitful producer of woes and it is a grave misfortune not to know or realize its baneful effects. Success in life hinges upon a proper use of the materials employed in its making; and we sink or swim in accordance with the execution of our plans. The Negro occupies a position not envied by the others of mankind; but his opportunities are many and he may with readiness pull the load, if he rightly puts his shoulder to the wheel. Chinkaplin chains, a novelty just over from London, are made of large, polished wood beads in black and costume colors, strung on knotted silk or fastened with metal links. They come in the form of lorgnette chains, purse chains, and graduated necklaces, and retail at from 34 to 44 cents. --- A hitherto unknown clan of Jews has been discovered in the interior desert of Arabia. Have you really got as much faith in God, and your religion as you say you have? If so, why is it you resort to methods that are not of God in order to accomplish some things? Why don't you put the matter in his hands, as you say he will fight your battles for you?- The Interstate Reporter. The fishermen of Maine, making use of power boats, are generally making use of a mixture of gasoline and lubricating oil, which is said to keep the cylinders thoroughly oiled without the use of lubricating cups. the association is one of general helpfulness, which is expressed in its motto, "Lifting as We Climb." Most of the problems which confront the white wife and mother come also to her colored sister. The difficulties of the latter are largely increased by the barriers of race. The colored women are just as anxious to educate their children and to have a high standard of living as the white women. The number of uneducated women who will toll over a wash tub all day long in order to keep their children in school demonstrates this. But their ambitions are gained only by a constant struggle such as the white woman has never even imagined. In all the history of its pioneer work in the development of the Negro folk songs, Fisk university had never given such a concert as was presented to an enthusiastic audience last night in Ryman auditorium, the largest hall in the city. This immense audience gave the 300 Negro students round after round of applause, demanding an encore for every number on the program. Nowhere else in the United States could there be gathered such a company of select Negro voices under such leadership, for the singing of these songs, as that which greeted the musle lovers of Nashville on this occasion. From the opening song of "Brethren, Rise," to the closing, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," led by Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, one of the original jubilee singers, this mammoth chorus held the audience in wrap attention. The chorus was assisted by the University orchestra, the Men's Glee club, and the Women's Glee club, whose rendition of Mendelssohn's "Lift Thine Eyes" was as pure a piece of vocal harmony as one seldom has a chance to hear. The choral work was under the direction of Professor John W. Work, the noted leader of Negro folk songs. His solo, "Onaway, Awake Belo'od," by Coloridge-Taylor, was one of the features of the evening. This concert was given as a part of the strenuous effort the university is making to raise the balance of nearly $100,000 to complete a much needed endowment fund. The raising of this fund will meet a great crisis in the history of this noted institution. Cash and pledges to the amount of $202,000 have been secured. Many of the pledges are conditions on the raising of the balance of a $200,000 fund by June 1, 1913. The following is the program of the concert, without the encores, which followed each selection: PART I.

A. Myers Swing Low, Sweet Charlot Led by Mrs. Moores, of the Original Jubilee Club The students of the Atlanta Baptist College (Georgia) held spell-bound an audience of four thousand people in the Armory auditorium in Atlanta recently with a program from Negro composers. One marked feature of the occasion was the rendition of the grand chorus, "Gallia," by 250 male voices. Both races were there. Atlanta's very best and most cultured, and they were unanimous and enthusiastic in rendering the verdict that it was a wonderful performance. Mme. Azalia Hackley trained the program. President Hope wisely encouraged it. There is a class which makes great pretensions to interest as to to the welfare of their fellow-men, but when the opportunity for manifesting it appears, excuses ready coined are dragged from their covert to brace the fibs they tell. Such characters, selfish in purpose are of little, benefit to themselves and none whatever to the society of which they form a part. The pawnbroker won't advance a cent on your self-esteem. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, one of the best known modern composers, and the most prominent of Negro composers, died in London, England. The deceased was one of England's leading writers, and was well known in this country, having made several visits to America. In Washington, D. C., a few years ago, he produced a part of his greatest work—his Hiawata trilogy—"Hiawata's Wedding Feast," and was voted a composer of marked ability by both press and public. His last visit to the United States was two seasons ago.

DU BOIS AND THE N. A. A. C. P. The following reprint is an editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Planet of May 31, '13: "EDITOR SMITH'S CRITICISMS. "Editor Harry C. Smith of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette insists that we did not read his editorial carefully and correctly. He claims that he said and intimated that the organization under Dr. DuBois' leadership was frittering away valuable time and the people's attention. When he said when there were two big propositions that concerned all of our people untouched by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He referred to the 'grandfather clause' and the 'jm crow car laws. He understood Hon. Harry C. Smith to say and mean this very thing. We proceeded to cite some of the things which the distinguished editorial writer regarded as 'little things'. Boiled down, the entire discussion is a matter of opinion until the organization comes forward and the organization can be reached without prejudice to the Association. "It seems to us that the 'long and A. B. Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. short' of the whole business is that Editor Smith is of the opinion that the Association should proceed to test the 'grandfather' laws and the 'jim pro car laws, and the money available the salaries should be reduced in one department to furnish the fees in the other. We suspect that our friend will not accept the last alternative as being in his mind and if so we withdraw it in advance. "Of course Dr. DuBois is a scholar—a veritable 'book worm' and he is not calculated to make friends by personal contact. He is 'icy' in his demeanor and distant in his habits, but his great ability is enormous and the effect of his other scholarly peculiarities. "As we understand it, Hon. Harry C. Smith is not opposed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People but in fact favors it. He only desires that it extend the scope of its usefulness to the extent of testing the two great books of the past month and embarrassing the Colored people of the country. Selah." Right you are, at last, Brother Mitchell. That is exactly what we are insisting upon and want you and all others of the race press to join us in doing. We do not care a "rap" how "scholarly" and "icy" and "distant" Du Bols is and how "humilinous his great ability." We want him to make a PROPER effort to "deliver" or "get off the perch." In Missouri they demand that one "show." In Ohio, we demand that you "show" and PROVE! If Du Bols will do this, we are still with him and are willing that his salary be doubled. What we want and insist upon, are results anent the two big problems which affect ALL of our people, and not only passengers and officers of divinely only. The case, last week of S. W. Green, grand chancellor of our K.P., is evidence indisputable of the necessity of action in the U. S. Supreme Court, fathered by Du Bols and the N. A. A. C. P, against the "jimcrow" railroad laws of the states. Our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters may be the next to be mobbed and nearly lynched, as he was, for exercising a right guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution, if something is not soon done in the U. S. Supreme Court to teach the south that even Afro-American inter-state railroad passengers have rights that even that section of this peculiar country must respect. Yes! we are insisting that Du Bols and the N. A. A. C. P, pay some attention to the two great, big problems—disfranchisement and "jimcrow" railroad cars—that concern ALL of our people, as well as important cases involving practically individuals only. The two big problems are: Disfranchisement laws, especially those based on the "grandfather clause", and "jimcrow" car laws, at least as far as they affect inter-state passengers. And want Editor Mitchell of the Planet, Editor J. R. Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.). Pioneer Press and all other loyal confreres of the race press, to join us in this demand. Will you and they do it? We sincerely hope so. It is well worth while to consider in detail the demands of the Progressive platform to see what important issues between the Republicans and Progressives are now alive, to the end that we may learn what has to be yielded in a getting together. Both stand for a protective tariff and sound money. The first plank in the Progressive platform is: "Rule of the people by assuring representative government." Both the Republican and Democratic platforms declared for "Rule of the people." "Direct primaries." We have them. "Preferential primaries for president." In this, no vital principle is involved; it has not been discussed seriously at any time, and the nomination would be made by the favorite son vote, in which a small minority would name the candidate. "Direct election of United States senators." That is now out of the way. "Short ballot." That will be fought out in Ohio this summer, the Democrats doing most of the blood-shedding. "The L. & R." We have it. "The I. & K." We have m. "The recall." The Democratic legislature has given us that as applied to officers other than judges, the recalled official being allowed a hearing. "Easier to amend the United States Constitution." Since this platform was adopted, it has been amended twice. "National laws for national affairs." The Republicans raise no objection to this Progressive demand. The Democratic platform declares for states' rights. The declarations against monopoly are similar. One demands "A National Industrial Commission." The other, "A Federal Trade Commission," the only marked difference being that the Progressives would give this regulating body some arbitrary powers not provided for the federal trade commission of the Republicans. In the matter of foreign commerce, they agree in all important details. On the most vital issue, that of the tariff, their declarations are identical. Democracy will make it necessary that the protectionists yield less important points of difference and get together to save business, for the business of a country is the life thereof. Both platforms demand immediate action looking toward the reduction of the high cost of living. The Progressives say reduction of the tariff will aid in lessening it and the Republicans say it is not due to the protective tariff. Democracy is about to teach us the relation between tariff and high cost of living. As to banking and currency, both parties will support the plan formulated by the National Citizens' League, which is based upon information gathered by the national monetary commission. Neither Republicans nor Progressives can stand for Bryanesque currency legislation. MIXING OF THE RACES. Produces a Superior Population— That is the Experience of the Past. There is not a nation in Europe whose blood can, even by stretching pesticide license, be called pure. They are all mixed and the mixing process has been repeated again and again. Even the Oriental blood, which Dr. Ellot thinks so detrimental when it combines with European, has been crossed repeatedly with that of every people in Europe on a wholesale scale. The Oriental invasions which empowered Europe and again in the early centuries of our era have stamped the features and mentality of Asia throughout the Western world. The New Testament is literally correct when it says that all nations are made of one blood. There is no fact of history more patent. If is idle in one sense to discuss the benefits or injuries of crossing races, the country has been crossed about as persistently as can be imagined. Europe from the beginning of its history has been fully as much of a "melting pot" as the United States is today. Race mingling has been carried on there by violence too often, but it has also resulted from peaceable migration and settlement. And the foremost nations of Europe are those whose blood is most mixed. It is the comparatively pure stocks like the Castilians and the Celts of Brittany, who are just beginning to wake up to the modern progress. As a rule the less crossing of blood a people has experienced the less fitted it is to play an active part in history. Even the ancient Greeks were a complicated mixture of races, as modern science has discovered, and if we knew the genealogy of the Jews accurately, we should find that they, too, arose from many sources. If we were to compare this ancient conception among the peoples of the world. History gives no countenance whatever to the fear that the mingling of races in America will produce an inferior population. The indications are all in the same direction, but the answer that country, as in Europe, the best families in the long run will be those who can count parents in the most diverse races. $25,000 Rosenwald Gift. Chicago, Ill.—The only cotton seed mill in the South owned exclusively by our people received timely assistance a few days ago when Mr. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., handed Attorney F. C. Jacobs of Memphis a check for $25,000, which sum is to be used as an operating fund.

COUNCILMAN FITZ-GERALD At Work on the Street Extension Desired and Will Be Helped by Director Springborn and Auditor Coughlin. Cleveland, June 2, 1913. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir. BUGKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. With reference to previous correspondence, I beg to advise you that in accordance with Director Springborn's suggestion I talked with Auditor Coughlin about the sale of the 24th place street opening bonds. Mr. Coughlin advised me that he thought the rate of interest on the bonds (4 per cent) was too low, but that he would try and sell the issue to the PETER H. W. S. Fitz-Gerald. city Sinking Fund Commission. If the Sinking Fund Commission will not buy the bonds it will be necessary to amend the original ordinance to provide for a higher rate of interest. I hope this will not be necessary, as it would delay the matter for some time, as the amended ordinance would have to be held sixty days under the Crosser Act awaiting a possible referendum. I will keep you informed of any developments. Very respectfully, W. S. FITZ-GERALD. MAJOR JACKSON'S GOOD MARK In the Illinois Legislature—Another Cleveland "Boy" and His Success in the "Windy City." Chicago, Ill.—The work of Major R. R. Jackson of Chicago, in the Illinois Legislature since his recent seating as representative is most commendable. He sounded the probable deathknell of the anti-Intermarriage bill by having it recalled from the judiciary committee. On motion of Representative Shurtleff (white), the bill was resubmitted to the committee, which approved the bill and death. Major Jackson was also the chief instrument in killing the movement to repeal the State Civil Act, which affords protection to the members of the race in the state's service. Major Jackson was the recipient of letters of praise for his excellent work in behalf of the Civil Service Act, from the Illinois and Chicago Clippers Services Association. The Major has been placed seven of the most important committees of the House, namely: Federal Relations, Printing, Military Affairs, Chicago Charter, Senatorial Appointment, Fraternal and Mutual Insurance, and miscellaneous subjects. The last named bill has jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to the race, and Speaker McKinley (a democrat) decommitted himself to pointing Major Jackson to such important committees, most particularly the last named. Mr. and Mrs. David Manson have moved from 5413 Calumet Ave. to beautiful quarters on Michigan Ave. Mr. Manson is a Cleveland young man who started in the old Atwater building in 1910. During spare hours he studied stenography. The manager of the Ohio Iron & Metal Company realized he was a most deserving young man, employed him, and took him to Chicago with them. Now he is chief clerk for the Manson Company. Good for Dave, Mrs. Manson is very prominent in the musical circles of Chicago. S. W. GREEN'S CASE. New Orleans, La.—After being taken off a train by a mob at Milton Fla., Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of our Knights of Pythias, who was returning home from a session of the Grand Lodge at Ocala, Fla., was put under bond May 27 for violating the laws of his journey to this city. Only the sheriff's interference saved him from lynching. He was riding in the state room of a Pullman. His right. Mr. Green locked himself in the room May 26. It was not discovered that he was in the car until five hours later, when he was put out of the car and went to the "Colored" day coach ahead. A crowd of white brutes boarded the train and searched for him. He was not identified, as every Colored man in the car denied being the man wanted. When the train reached Milton, Fla., he was arrested and brutes entered and seized him. The sheriff at Milton finally got Mr. Green from the mob. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Dr. John R.

A., Washington, D. C., of its first a native brings to light the successful and consecrated work of its promoters, especially that of its executive secretary, Lewis Johnson, who is primarily responsible for the active promotion and supervision of the work Mr. Johnson has done well to trade. He thought the task impossible, but he A. B. has shown the value of having a man on the job "who knows how." His great interest in other things concerning our people in this city has helped him greatly in his own work. He is a graduate of Howard University Law School, a member of the District Bar, a Mason, superintendent of theropolis School, a Sunday school school trustee of trustee of a member of the Ministers' Union, President of the Association Tennis Club, and of the Protective Rights Association, a member of the Lindsay Social Centre and the Mu-So-Lift Club. He is a race man from his heart. He fought a civil rights case in Ohio through all the interior battles of the war. In the State, where he won a judgment which established a precedent in that state regard Hon. Harry C. Smith's Civil Rights Bill. He had a Colored attorney, Alex. H. Martin. His Y. M. C. A. work in Buxton, Idwa, before coming to Washington, attracted almost national attention. He practically put the town of Buxton in the forefront of the profession of Y. M. C. A. secretary is a new one, but it ranks up with those of the first rank and is one which affords an unparalleled opportunity for service to your own people. It is calling for the best men in our race. Mr. Johnson's work deserves the heartiest commendation. The Bee is a great thing to make good on a new and a big undertaking. It takes the right man in the right place and that is what Johnson is." PROF JOHN F. RANSOM A Former Resident of Columbus, O. Continues to score "core" In The Eight Boston, Mass.—After 37 years the third and last concert for the season of the Cecilia society closed at Symphony hall May 17, to the memory of three noted music producers. No man in the large audience was more interested than a noted leader of our race as he watched each performer in chorus, solo and orchestra. "Palesia prima," the music maker, by Sir Edward Elzar, both being rendered here for the first time, and in memory of S. Coleridge-Taylor, "The Death of Minnehaha." The leading soloist in this work was Mr. Clifford Lott, baritone, a teacher of music in Los Angeles. He was well received, and his direction pronounced magnetic and pleasing, and he never referred to him in these complimentary terms: "May his next appearance give him more opportunity." Few of our citizens understand the helpful work done here by Prof Ransom, but we feel a host realize his ability to make people sing." Mr. Lott, as a pupil of his, both showed his appreciation for his former teacher, and after the concert, if embracing him meant sincerity truly the professor had it from Mr. Lott. We believe Prof. John F. Ransom stands alone in this unique work here as a teacher. White American Savages. White American Savages Hampton, S.

The Alpha Trio. Ralph W. Hawkins, baritone guitar; Wm. Wilkins, tenor, mandala; and Fred. Reese, tenor, violin, have been greatly pleasing the large audiences at the Ogden Theater, in recent weeks, especially, Sundays. The singing and playing of the Trio is excellent and gives evidence of the organization. The carel rendition. The organization is a credit to its members and our people of this community. Rev. E. A. White, pastor of Cory M. E. church years ago, is Rev. G. A. Sisla's successor, coming from Covington, Ky. He preached ably Sunday. Next Sunday Bishop F. W. Anderson will preach in the evening and Cory will undoubtedly be packed to the doors: The Gazette welcomes the new members. He is able, active and a good man. Cory will continue to grow in his pastoral care. Medames T. T. W. Fleming, chairman; Eliza Lima Fleming, Elife Quinn, Molle Green, Rosa Brooks, Mina Harris, W. T. Blue, Hattle Fairax, J. A. Rogers, Henry Taylor, H. T. Hicks, Cornella F. Nickens, and J. D. K. Nickens are solicitors among our people for the local Federation for Charity and Philantrophy. Our Die Folks are the most important for annual assistance to the amount of $1200. So let everybody give as much as they are able to our solicitors. The crowds attending the Ogden theater, nightly and on Sundays, is the best sort of testimonial to the splendid management of the place and its exceptionally good vaudeville, pictures and music. The theater certainly has been improved, and materially too, in every way. Miss Helen Ogden, lessees and manger, is a member of the race. The report being circulated that members of the Jewish race are interested, in any way, the control of the "Ogden" is not true. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913 Mr. William Carroll of Chicago, spent Sunday in the city with his father, Mr. George Carroll. Dr. J. M. Gilmere is home from Youngstown, this week, visiting his family. His church-rally netted $1214. Sunny, $800 more than he started out to raise. Howard S. Slaughter, age 24, 2529 Central Ave., and Ruby A. Yates secured a marriage license, Tuesday.

Monday evening, to the "Federated Charities," ten of which goes to our Old Folk's Home, $10 to the Babies' Dispensary, $10 to St. Luke's Hospital, $10 to Charity Hospital and $10 to the Visiting Nurses' Association. On October 8, 1912, there was issued to Mr. Williams Hearns, of Ivy City, District of Columbia, letters; patent on a device which solves the problem of a century of effort—the problem of how to insert taps and remove plugs from water mains without cutting off the water supply. Four times, last week, at the Ogden theater, people had to stand and on Monday evening, again, it was standing room only. Chairs have been installed wherever possible and other arrangements made to accommodate that have been attending the theater all this week. Miss Ogden is a friend-maker and in many ways adds materially to the pleasure of her patrons. Mrs. Jessie McClure, 51 years, died in Chicago, May 25, and the remains shipped here for interment.

The party was composed of 22 students, of which Daniel is the only Afro-American, and 3 teachers. At Chicago they took a special car over the Northwestern and Northern Pacific to Butte, Mont., where 23 days will be spent among the copper smelters of Anaconda, Great Falls Helena. The three smelters will in the future be in the geology of the places visited and the metallurgical processes and methods of mining copper, lead, gold and silver. Mrs. Clara J.

What next? A few years ago a meeting of the leading women of all races, of the world, was held in Berlin, Germany. The only one to deliver an address in three languages (English, German and French) was Mrs. Mary (Mollie) Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. a graduate of Oberlin College and French. She is one of the best platform speakers in this country, regardless of race W. H. or class. A sterling woman! Mrs. Terrell will lecture at Mt. Zion Congregational church, June 19, on "The Progress of Colored Women," and all should hear her. General admission, 25 cents. Persons desiring patron's tickets, 50 cents each, should notify Mrs. Hattie Fairax, 2213 E. 35th St., by June 12, at the latest. While in the city, Mrs. Terrell will be the guest of Mrs. Blanche Gilmere, 2281 E. 74th St. Tuesday being *J. Walters* Willis birthday, the Du Bois Literary club of which he is an honorary member, and its friends, among whom were Dr. J. M. Gilmere and Mr. and Mrs. Charley Johnson, gave him a very pleasant surprise in his new home and presented him a beautiful electric lamp as a token of their appreciation of the assistance he has rendered them in all of their entertainments. Mr. Johnson made the presentation of the lamp, which responded left, wishing him many rewards of the day and a long and successful life. The play, "How the Story Grew," given recently at Mt. Haven Baptist church by the club, will be repeated, June 28, at the same place, for the benefit of the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court. Many requests have been received to repeat it and the club has kindly consented. It has held very pleasant meetings, recently, at Mrs. Judi Jones and David Saunders, the named entertainer, June 4. Mrs. Horace Biggs was unanimously elected chairman of the program committee, and with her assistants is already preparing some novel and interesting programs for the summer months. Elementary school principals this year are to have much more influence in the appointment and promotion of teachers in their schools than formerly. Supt. Frederick announced last Thursday. One of the results of this increased power is to be the dismissal of a number of grade teachers, and the universities won't be accepted in many school buildings. "I believe better work can be accomplished in the various schools if principals have more to say about whom they get to work for them," Supt. Frederick explained Thursday. "Principals this year as a rule won't have to take teachers they don't want." Age and discipline are the dismissal of Frederick asserted. "Besides these, however, there are some teachers who are to be shifted. They are not wanted by their principals, but they won't be forced on other principals unless they are acceptable." Principals of the elementary schools at a meeting this week caustically arraigned the work of some school principals announced positively they wouldn't accept Normal graduates. We are fearful of this new plan. JACK JOHNSON'S SENTENCE. Chicago, Ill.—U. S. Judge Carpenter, Wednesday, sentenced Jack Johnson to one year and one day in the Illinois penitentiary at Joliet, and fined him $1,000, for violation of the Mann "white slave" law. Jack testified that he gave the white prostitute "about $10,000"; so his "fun" in this one case has proven very expensive in both money and experience thus that his sentence is the result of his trial on only one indictment. There are six or seven others which can be invoked at any time and the above sentence duplicated as often as convictions are secured and that would be easy, as all have the same basis. Sentence was pronounced after Judge Carpenter had denied a motion for a new trial made by counsel. Johnson obtained two weeks' time in which to prepare a writ of error. The court ordered that which he has been liberty since his conviction, was allowed to stand. Jack left the court room declaring he would not give up his fight for liberty, and that if the writ of error was denied he would make furter appeals. SJESCRIBE FOR THE GAZETTE.

Detroit, Mich, May 19, 1913. Editor, Gazette, Dear Sirt: After reading your letter to Editor Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, under date May 17, I wish to send you my congratulations for your noble stand at a time when Cincinnati's supposed and so-called brainiest Afro-Americans seem to have gotten into a condition similar to that of the people who were building the great temple. Their mind was thank to the future, and instead of keeping pace with the times they are like the old city—twenty years behind. I am an old Cincinnati "boy" and had the pleasure of your acquaintance on one of your visits there when a Mr. White and myself had the Hotel Summer, on 5th St., years ago. I have written several articles on mixed schools and am sure that my people in Cincinnati are fast "asleep at the switch" on this school question and need a few letters like yours to wake them. It's a case of a few supposed "wife-guys" getting the unsuspecting to endorse a movement for the benefit of a few, and by their acts they have made a city, that was a pleasure to live in, and a vritable "hell-hole" of prejudice I lived there nearly 40 years and will say to you that the condition of our people in Cincinnati is one of their own making; and it will take two or three letters like yours to wake them up. Please wake them! Your truly, J. W. RAWLINS, No. 151 Willis Av. E. The Hotel Dale. Cape May, N. J., June 1—Week end arrivals at the Hotel Dale: H. A. Wilson, J. B. Jones, Chas. R.

"Certain parties," who would no doubt delight to see things go badly for Manager Miller Huggins of the Cards, have circulated stories that Sheckard is held as a club over Huggins' head, being secured and kept on the team with the idea of being made Huggins' successor at the least sign of the Cards breaking. There are two things that show there is nothing in this sort of talk, says the Sporting News. First the showing of the Cards under Huggins: second the whole-hearted way that Sheckard is giving his services to Huggins and the good feeling that exists between the two. Sheckard is out to win for Huggins—and the Cardinals. BASEBALL Infielder Roy Rock has been appointed captain of the New London team. Scorers in the Western league have cut Pitcher McConnaughey's name to McConney. Eddie Cicotte has progressed in a year from a losing pitcher to the leading slabman of the Chicago White Sox. Sisler's pitching baffled Cornell at Ann Arbor, and Michigan won, 6 to 2. Joseph Pfeiffer of the Pittsfield "Eagle" has been appointed official scorer for that city by President This fellow James, who is pitching for the Boston Braves, seems to have both curves and stamina. "Tilly" Shafer, the Giants' shortstop, has been fielding in sensational style and batting like a flend. Outfielders seem to be the best batters in the American league. Among the 25.300 stickers, 15 of them are outfielders. Bridge whist has taken the place formerly held by poker as a diversion for big leaguers while riding from town to town. The two Dills, Klem in the National and Evans in the American leagues, are said to be the umpires most respected by ball players. Frye's pitching enabled Harvard to shut out Syracuse 3 to 0 at Cambridge. The Harvard slabmen allowed only one hit and did not pass a man. Frank Laporte of the Senators continues to show unexpected form at third base, making plays which would do credit to most any third baseman. Christy Mathewson and a rushing style of play seem to be all the Giants have this season. The New York aggregation has not added any strength. Olaf Heuriksen, the little outfielder of the Boston Red Sox, is justifying the faith Manager Stahl has had in him. He is batting right up there with the best of them. A version of Casey up to date has been printed in Boston, which winds up: "And somewhere men are laughing And somewhere children play. But there is no joy in Boston—Walter Johnson works today!" Manager Griffith thinks that George McRide is the best shortstop of them all. "You can have your Wagoners, Weavers and the pick of them all," said the Old Fox, "but for mine I will always stick to the man we have." Wrecking crews are the latest rage. Nearly every club outside Greater New York has a spot in its batting order where two or three sluggers come in a bunch, and said bunch has accounted for more than its share of the team's victories. Fans in Davenport declare that Shortstop Milt Reed, who succeeded Ray Chapman, is just as good a ball player as the lad now starring with Cleveland and that if he keeps up his lick bb will jump to the majors. Pitcher Aldous of Battle Creek has given up the game to follow his profession of electric engineer, and hopes that he would report after being out last season are blasted. In 1911 he won ten out of 15 games for Battle Creek. Infielder Roy Rock has been appointed captain of the New London team. Scorers in the Western league have cut Pitcher McConnaughey's name to McConney. Eddie Cicotte has progressed in a year from a losing pitcher to the leading slabman of the Chicago White Sox. Joseph Pfeiffer of the Pittsfield "Eagle" has been appointed official scorer for that city by President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern association. The Southern Michigan league has adopted President Johnson's idea for the American league umpires and will give prizes to the umpires who show records of the shortest game. Goulait, the Toronto club's new right-hand twirler, is a little fellow, not as tall as Dick Rudolph, but stockily built. He pronounces his name "Goolay." Barney Schreiber appears to be a pitcher who believes in letting the fielders work. In a recent game he pitched 17 fly balls were garnered by the outfielders on the Denver team. Manager Joe Kelly of the Toronto team, according to New York critics, has secured a fine young player in Joe Schultz, recently with the Braves. Schultz is a fine hitter, a fast, clever fielder, and lacking only experience to be major league caliber. SPORTING WORLD "Kid" Williams of Baltimore knocked out "Young" Diggins of Philadelphia at the Empire theater in Baltimore. Harry Donahue of Pekin, Ill., had a shade over Mickey Sheridan of Chicago in a ten-round bout before the Social Athletic club at Peoria. Yale nosed out Princeton by the score of 60½ to 56½ in their annual track meet. Vernon McKinney is to be kept on the coast and will be missed from the free-for-all events. Geers will have the California sensation, San Felipe, 2:09% that won every start last year. It is thought that with a year's rest Joe Bowers will be all right for the grand circuit this year. Barongale is being mated with a number of mares in Kentucky and will have a grand chance to distinguish himself. In the Cleveland pacing sweepstakes are Evelyn W. Earl, Jr. Braden Direct, Don Denamore, Joe Patchen II, and Gold Seal. "Jock" Soutar of Philadelphia won the professional raquet championship of the world by defeating Charles Williams of England, the titleholder. It is announced that two race meetings for the harness horses would be held in connection with the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915, one in June and the other in October. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. C. SATURDAY. JUNE 7. 1913 --- COTTON FABRICS NOW IN ORDER Suits May Be Made as Dressy and Elaborate as the Wearer's Fancy Dictates. EVERYTHING IN GOOD FORM In the Summer Months the Light Stuffs Are Universally Accepted as a Substitute for Chiffon and Silk —Skirts Straight and Narrow. The jump in temperature demonstrated very conclusively that suits made from cotton fabrics will be far more comfortable during the next three or four months than those of cloth. In fact, a suit of linen, cotton eponge, crash, or one of the novelty cotton goods, is to be classed among the necessities when allotting the clothes allowance for the season There was a time, and it wasn't so very long ago, when suits of cotton materials were all decidedly negligee. Today they are often as dressy and elaborate as the more expensive cloth models, and display, as they do, all the latest whims of fashion. The cotton suits, therefore, can be divided into two distinct classes, the very savest and simple suits, to be worn in the morning and at sporting events, where the strict tailored costumes are desirable, and the more dressy creations, with their draped skirts, gay colored saashes, jaunty little jackets and fancy collars and cuffs. Both types are fascinating, and the dressy suits are considered in as good form as the plainer, tailored costumes, provided they are worn at the right time and place. The fact, however, that cotton is not a dressy fabric in itself has to a certain extent developed the idea that a suit of cotton fabric must necessarily be an informal costume. THE LADY'S DRESS This is not the case in the fashion world today, and cotton stuffs such as nets, voiles, crepes, etc., are accepted by the most conservatively dressed women as substitutes for chiffon and silk. Fer the Trotteur Suit. For the trout suit, the cotton tailor ed costume is the most practical. It may be made by the tailor, or bought at the shops, and as it is now possible to buy suits in the large shops with the same severe tailored lines and finish that one would pay several dollars more for at a regular tailoring establishment, many women prefer to take this method of saving time and money. It is never quite as important to have perfect lines in the cotton suit as it is in the cloth or silk costume, for the laudress and the cleaner are no respecters of lines, and the best tailored lines have a way of screwing out of plumb after a visit to either of these institutions. If either of the cotton suits is to be made by the tailor, by all means let it be the plain one, for the dressy litte affair has trimming to overcome any faults in the lines, and, like its replica in silk, displays the dressmaker's lines this season, rather than the severer ones of the tailor. Lines of the Skirt The plain suits are very, very plain. The skirts are straight and narrow, fastening either directly down the center of the waist or the cationally these straight lines are broken by tucks, carefully pressed, and perhaps stitched. In order to permit more freedom of limb when the skirt is to be worn for athletic "stunts," but the large majority of the skirts are noted for their unbroken severity. A very severe suit, made really striking by the fact that it is so very simple, is fashionable from eponge, with a raised stripe, giving the suggestion of uncut plush. There is not a break of any kind in the skirt except the opening from the knee to the hem on the left side, which is buttoned by large buttons. When the desire for greater width overcomes the wearer, she can lean down and unfasten these buttons. The coat is as plain as the skirt—decidedly cutaway in the front, with the long sloping back ending in a rounded point sev A curiosity of nest building that is probably unique has just been discovered at one of the Messrs. Chivers and Sons' farms near Cambridge, England. Within a short distance of the jam factory six fruit baskets were tied together and hung in a cart shed, where a number of men are often at work. In every one of these baskets a bird has built its nest, and in two cases the nests have eggs. The builders include blackbirds, song-thrushes, and missel-thrushes, and as the bas eral inches longer than the front. Even the large pockets are subdued to this general scheme of simplicity, for tailored slits at either side give the only suggestion that these conveniences have been added. New Shades in Linen. Despite the popularity of cotton eponge or ratine, as one may prefer to designate it, linen has many shouters, who claim that it is cooler than the newer materials. It certainly wrinkles and creases far more easily than eponge, though the ramie linen is not as great an offender in this respect as the French linen or the crash. There are some very effective, new shades in the smart linen this season, 'so novel and so artistic that they have won many converts from the ranks of the eponge enthusiasts. These standing collars are a happy inspiration, for they solve the problem of dressing the neck appropriately and becomingly. Nothing is more ugly than to see a woman wearing a low-necked frock with a coat when there is no collar to protect the skin from coming in contact with the ridge of the coat collar. Spreading the collar of the dress out over the collar of the coat is a subterfuge which is neither neat nor attractive, yet in hot weather one hesitates to swathe the neck with a close fitting, boned collar or even a tulle ruchen on the order of the snug little fur collaretre which were worn in the winter. The collar of lace or tulle, standing away from the neck, gives a becoming, dainty effect, protects the skin against the cloth of the suit and is as delightfully cool and comfortable as the flat, low collar of Dutch origin. Combination. Sult. The combination of colors and materials which make many of the silk and cloth costumes so smart are repeated in the costumes of cotton fabrics. One of the favorite contrasts in color is white skirt and colored jacket. The yellow jacket is the most popular. Sometimes the skirt is piped with yellow, as it to show that it was really meant to complete the costume and was not an odd skirt, to be worn with any old coat. One costume recently seen shows a pretty contrast of color by having the skirt in white and the coat in a dull Chinese blue. The skirt is particularly fetching, for it is very chic, and yet so simple that it can be laundered with very little difficulty. The front panel is brought to a point in a clever manner and the slight draping is caught to the sides of the panel and taken care of by small tucks. By rounding the front opening at the hem the idea of a shushing is carried out in a conservative and inoffensive fashion. The jacket of Chinese blue eponge is delightfully jaunty and youthful. It is one of those quaint whimsicalities which owe their cachet to an audacious cut, for there is not a particle of trimming to dress it up. It might best be described as a glorified bolero, for it does not even reach the waistline in the front, but slants abruptly away from the fastening at the "V" of the neck and flares in a saucy fashion over the hips. The raglan shoulder adds to the general pliant air of this little jacket, and the sleeves are attached at the low shoulder seam. The collar is raised in the back in a becoming manner, and a practical one as well for the neck is thus protected against the ardent rays of old Sol. Striped Skirt and Plain Coat Another popular combination shows a skirt of a striped eponge or linen and a coat of the plain goods. For instance, the skirt may be of blue and white striped linen and the coat or blue linen with revers and cuffs on the striped material. Still another combination calls for the plain skirt and brocaded jackets. The uncut cotton velvet and broche, eponge or cotton matelasse, as it is variously called make very handsome jackets, even entire costumes, and are dressy enough to wear to afternoon teas and similar social functions. There is just a hint of the Russian blouse in some coats, though the rails ed waistline is more typical of the empire style. This new line is marked ed by cord, which is twisted to make motifs at either side of the low fastening. There is a perceptible baginess and blouse looseness to the upper part of the jacket, though the skirt portion fits the hips smoothly with the slightest hint of a flare at the sides. Slender women with girl ish figures will be enthusiastic over the box pleats, which take away the very plain effect of the fronts. The inelegant color note is lent by the revers and cuffs of cretonne. This fad for utilizing cretonne has developed so rapidly that the more daring designers do not hesitate to fashion entire costumes from it, while jackets are everyday occurrences. They are exceedingly effective and will add to the gayety of fashionable assemblages this summer. In fact, the garden parties of 1913 will be noted in the annals of the future as wonderful studies in colors, for the green landscape will act as a background to throw into relief all the vivid colorings of the Futurists, the Post-impressionists and other rabid color enthusiasts. Home Dress. A soft cashmere or satin would be nice for our model, which has a pretty skirt made with the lower part closely pleated at the sides; the upper is laid on with a wrapped seam. Tucks trim the shoulders of the Magyari bodice, which has a "V" shaped opening partly filled in by a narrow fold of light contrasting colored material, which also trims the sleeve, and tabs of it are sewn at front and back; buttons and loops form a simple finish. Materials required: 5 yards 40 inches wide, ½ yard for trimming, 1½ dozen buttons. kets are being left alone, it is hoped that each mother will hatch out her brood. William Was Wise William, who was erecting an edifice out of building blocks, showed such unusually bungling workmanship that his father, who is a carpenter, took him to task. "What kind of a shack do you call that?" he asked the boy. "Oh, that's all right, pap," replied William. "I'm building it to reut." PUTTING ONE OVER ON PAPA Modern Miss Jollied Her Father Into Believing That She Had Refused Estimable Young Man. "You know, dear," said the young man nervously to the pretty girl, "I'm really frightened about speaking to your father; he's so awful sure of himself, you know." "Is that all that's causing the delay?" inquired the modern dress, dryly. "If that's so, just leave it to me. I will manage father." Accordingly next morning she approached paterfamilias as he potted plants to the accompaniment of a choice Havana and carpet slippers. "Papa," she gurgled, with feigned mirth, as she took his arm, "what do you think? That young fool Perkins has proposed to me! Just fancy! Of course, I refused him!" And the lady doubled up in incoherent joy. But papa shook himself free and tugged with the fury of a baited bull as he stormed: "What! Refused young Perkins—that estimable young man? Why, I'm ashamed of you! You modern girls never know when you're lucky! You'll make it up with him at once—at once, I say—and don't let me have any nonsense!" And papa never knew the reason for the peals of laughter which issued from the drawing room that evening when Edwin Perkins ecstaticly greeted the dainty Clara—Answers. Awful Blunder A nice but not especially clever young man went to a little evening party in the East end last week—so the story goes. This young man was introduced to several pretty girls, but he showed a distinct preference for a certain one of these, and her he led to supper and distinguished among all others by his favors. Finally, he got her into a corner and stammered forth his admiration, thus: "I like you a lot!" "Why do you like me?" "You're the only college girl I ever liked." "But why am I?" "Aw—all the other college girls seem to know so much!" The Professor—Why do you always run your automobile at such speed? The Autoist—I think it's better to till a man than maim him. Fine for Ma. Little Sarah was watching her mother, who was ironing some linen. "Is it hard to iron, mamma?" she asked. "Pretty hard, sometimes," the mother replied. "The little girl was thoughtful a moment, then she exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, wouldn't it be fine if you had married a Chinese laundryman?" Losing Faith. Old Lady—I don't believe this sure cure tonic is a goin' to do me any good. Friend—It's highly spoken of in the papers. Old Lady—Yes; but I've taken 47 bottles, and I don't feel a bit better. I tell you what it is, Sarah, I'm beginning to think those newspaper editors don't know everything. A Test in Memory A class of seventh grade boys was having a review in geography. After asking a number of questions, the teacher turned to one of the boys and said: "Now, John, name a peak in the eastern part of the United States." John looked up, a smile lightened ht. face, and answered: "Chesapeake."—National Monthly. City Life. "How long have you known that gentleman we just pressed?" "Well, I don't really know him at all, to tell you the truth. I just sort of scraped acquaintance with him, you might say. We have lived in adjoining flats for about ten years, and the hey day I ventured to speak to him, don't you know." Worked Both Ways "Two mighty sad looking women." "Aren't they?" "I wonder what their trouble is?" "One of them was jilted by the man she was in love with." "And the other?" "Oh, the man she was in love with married her." Cupid and Card Index. "Charlie is so systematic." "How now?" "I asked him in my last letter if he liked my eyes and now he refers me to his communication of February 24. Says he treated the subject exhaustively in that communication." In Passing. "Professor, this is the first time this year I have seen you down town without your overcoat." "I know it is; I couldn't get it out of the pawnshop." "You couldn't! Why not?" Claiming the Credit "How do you know he doesn't?" "He says he is a self-made man."
