THIRTY FIRST YEAR. NO. 3 AMERICA GLYNN NOW ACTING HEAD OF NEWYORK Takes Office as Sulzer Is Automatically Suspended. Trial for "High Crimes and Midmeanors" is Set for Sept. 18 Before Senate and Ten Judges of Court of Appeals. CHARGES MADE AGAINST GOV. SULZER IN ARTICLES OF IMP-EACHMENT. Violation of six sections of the penal law are charged to Gov. William Sulzer in the articles of impeachment adopted by the offence charged are perjury, larceny, corrupt use of the office of governor and bribery of witnesses, summarized as follows: Perjury—Filled a also statement of corruption or corruptly. "Violating section 1620 of the penal law. Larceny—"Stole money and checke" contributed to the campaign by approving campaign contributions wrongly, wilfully and corruptly. "Violating section 1620 of the penal law. Corrupt use of position as governor—Threatened to use his influence and authority to affect the use of assembly, campaign contributions, sweet, violent 775 of the penal laws; also of using his influence to affect prices on the New York stock exchange, violating section 775 of the penal law. Suppressing evidence—Induced Sarecky, Colwell and Fulter to withhold testimony before the Frawley committee, violating section 2440 of the penal code. Suppressing evidence—"Practiced deceit and insulting claims in speculation" to prevent the testimony of Colwell and Fulter, violating section 814 of the penal law. Conventing and dissuading a witness—"Wilfully and corruptly" dissuaded Colwell from appearing as a witness, violating section 2441 of the penal law. By James J. Montague Albany, N. Y.-At 4:02 on the afternoon of August 13 the blistering arti- of impeachment against William Sulzer, adopted by the assembly in the dawning hours of the day, were acceded by the senate. Martin H. Glynn took office as acting governor of New York and the first gap in Sulzer; 23 years of continuous public servi- ce came with his automatic suspension in the office of governor. WILLIAM SULZER. Downstairs in his little office back of the executive chamber Mr. Sulzer, surrounded by his counsel, insisted that he still is governor. His trial for "high crimes and misdemeanors," including a charge of grand larceny, is set for Sept. 18 before the senate and the 10 judges of the court of appeals. He will cheerfully appear for trial but holds that up to and during his trial he cannot and will not be dislodged from office. As a consequence of this defiant attitude there will be two executive offices and two governors, each claiming authority until a test is had and the courts pass definitely upon Mr. Sulzer's claim that he is the chief executive of the state. Such a situation is unparalleled in the history of this country and its likely will never be witnessed again. To make assurance of Mr. Sulzer's suspension doubly sure an attempt was made to serve him with the articles of impeachment before he left the building. But he put on his slouched hat and strode down the stairs before his arch enemy, Clark Patrick McCabe of the assembly, could serve him. Meanwhile Leut. Gov. Glynn summoned to the Capitol after the receiving of the articles, declared that he was acting governor. When Glynn took office Majority Leader Robert F. Wagner of the senate became acting lieutenant governor. Washington, D. C.—C. Leslie Reynolds, famous in horticultural circles as the perfecter of the American Beauty Rose, dropped dead here while chasing some boys in the national botanical gardens. Mr. Reynolds was superintendent of the gardens. He was 59 years old and had been 20 years in the employ of the government, devoting most of his time to the care and culture of American Beauty Roses. These flowers reached their most luxurious growth as a result of Reynolds' experiments. John Lind, whom President Wilson has sent to Mexico as his personal representative in the effort to bring peace to that country, is a native of Sweden, a former congressman and ex-governor of Minnesota. Baby Is Dedd and Many People Are Injured When Pavilion in Which 200 Had Taken Refuge From Fierce Storm Collapses. Philadelphia, Pa.—Death, devastation and tremendous property loss is left in the wake of the worst storm in years which struck Philadelphia and the surrounding country at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Accompanied by a 60-mile wind before great black clouds and large hall stones, everything frail or weak fell in the path of the gust. It was like the death dealing punch of a Goliath pugilist. The worst accident reported until late at night was in Fairmount Park where a band 'pavilion near Georges hall collapsed, catching at least 200 persons in the ruins. They had taken refuge from the storm in the pavilion. A baby is dead and 15 injured persons are in the local hospitals. More than 100 injured managed to drag themselves to their homes. Only the fact that the pavilion was of light construction, without any real heavy joists, prevented a terrible catastrophe. At the height of the storm a large crowd of pinchers was being pushed to its utmost to get the gay merrymakers under cover. The wind blew the flowing neckle of the driver into his face. He lost control for an instant and the big machine was thrown into a tree. Seven of the occupants were injured. Mattie L. Greiner was drowned at Port Richmond. Her male companions were endeavoring to get ashore when the guest seemed to life the woman bodily from the boat. The entire length of Market-st is laid waste. Large trees that have withstood the storms of years are stretched across the streets. In all parts of the city trolley service was either tied up absolutely or delayed for hours. Telephone and telegraph poles are down on all sides. Large plate glass windows in the downtown stores were smashed like so much tissue paper. The wind tore the roof from the building of the Franklin Trust Co. at 15th and Market-sts. Roofs of 11 houses in the neighborhood of 47th and 49th-sts and Woodland and Paschall-avs were carried away bodily. A tower on the Broad and Filbert-st side of the Pennsylvania station was carved from its support and huge blocks of granite were hurled into the street. Fortunately no person was hit. All the parks of the city were devastated. Gigantic trees were broken like pipe stems. Agnes Murphy, 22, was killed at City Line by a falling tree under which she took refuge. James McNamee, 11 months old, was killed by a falling tree at 48th-st and Lancaster-av. Patrick McNamee, the baby's father, was injured. Reports from the outlying districts show that the storm was even worse than in Philadelphia. Early reports show that many of the magnificent homes in the suburbs and along the "main line" are wrecks. Heavy damage due to a terrific windstorm was also caused in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and Rhode Island. Balkan Peace Treaty Is Signed. Bucharest, Bulgaria—The peace treaty between the Balkan states was signed at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning. The peace treaty provides the Romanian army shall evacuate Bulgarian territory in 15 days after its signature and the Servian and Greek armies in three days. It also provides for arbitration by Belgium, Holland or Switzerland in event of a disagreement over the delimitation of the new frontier. Bulgaria is to begin domestication immediately. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1913. RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL UPLIFT Great Work of New Jersey Sunday Schools. MEETING HELD IN ORANGE. Central Organization Among Baptists Entreaties Host of Delegates and Visitors at Annual Convention in Union Baptist Church—A. S. Kingsley Makes Masterly Address. Orange, N. J.—The New Jersey Baptist state Sunday school convention held its annual meeting at the Union Baptist church here for two days the last week in July. Rev. Dr. W. P. Lawrence, pastor of the Union church and president of the convention, presided. The various schools were well represented by delegates, and all of the sessions were well attended. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn. The sermon is instructive and abounded in helpful suggestions and illustrations. Well prepared papers on various phases of Sunday school work were read by Miss Bella Perry, Miss Hattle McKeen, Miss Effie Ivay, Mrs. Rosa Polk, Mrs. John Hearn and Miss Nellie P. Schenck, who conducted the feature known as the "Literary Hour." The cause of Baptist institutions was presented in a forceful address delivered by the Rev. Dr. H. Mitchell. Among the stranger visitors who took part in the exercises were Messrs. A. S. Philips of South America and D. G. Fisher of South Africa, who are students at the Virginia Theological seminary and college Lynchburg, Va. The conference held for the benefit of the teachers in the different grades of the school proved very helpful. Music was furnished by a number of young woman who rendered inspiring vocal and instrumental selections. Rev. Page M. Beverly, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell, Rev. D. W. Cannon, R. L. Burrell and Rev. J. E. Briggs were among the leading spirits. The address of Mr. A. S. Kingsley, a white business man of South Orange, and a good friend of our people, was the crowning feature of the closing session of the convention. Mr. Kingsley has done much to aid in religious and social settlement work among the colored people of his section. He has given liberally of his means and has also been instrumental in interesting other white persons who have assisted him in himself the church which he has given much of his time, labor and influence. He is an educator and a man of liberal views and he does not harbor race prejudice. The greetings of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. convention were given by N. Barnett Dodson, president of that body. Dr. Lawrence's annual address was timely and created enthusiasm among the delegates. He in part said: We are living in a new age. Secular history tells us of the age of stone and iron. Modern scholars still refer with pride to the golden age of the monarchy, the apotheosis, and the pages of history are constantly calling attention to the unappeakable happenings of the dark ages. In sacred history we have the patriarchal age, the prophetic age, the age of the golden age, the tacolic age, the age of reformation, etc. But this is an age upon the ages; it is the age of altruism, of brotherhood, human kindness, and fair play, and this is pre-eminently the age of babyhood, girlhood and boyhood. Never before in the history of the world has so much attention given to the life of the child, the symmetrical development of the child, the boy and the girl, as in the present generation. He is the object of the study of the biologist. The sociologist and the modern psychologist are well informed about the symmetrical development of this garden of God. Pedagogues have well nigh revolutionized the old educational systems in order to meet the needs of this new and greatest age. That the state is alive to the needs of the hour at least along the lines of the secular education of her children. The question naturally awakened to the exigencies of the hour*. While profoundly grateful to God for all the good that has been done, I pause to place a laureum upon the brow of the wreath of the cross, the wreath wrought so nobly and unselfishly to make our Bible schools what under God they are today. I go further and go out to you city of the dead and place a wreath on the cross, the wreath of the cross with her honors of the cross and who fought a good fight and finished their courses and kept the faith, etc. Yonder they are, like a cloud of witnesses. I can hear their voices saying to us, "Quit you." There is room for improvement in our Bible school. One of the great needs of the hour is trained teachers. It is to be men and women from an intellectual point of view are unwilling to consecrate their talent to this all important God ordained woman. In the south and in some of the eastern and western sections of our country the public school teachers, business and professional men and women are leading in the labor of harvest. The great and the laborers are so few, let us pray the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers into his harvest. **Convention of Galilean Fishermen.** The annual session of the National Grand Ternacle of Galilean Fishermen, held for four days in Baltimore, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 5, was largely attended. The reports from the various subordinate lodges showed that the past year had been one of achievement in members and finance. Charles E. S. Holmes of New York city, national grand ruler, presided. TWO CLEVER PERFORMERS. Efficient Work of Misses King and Gee Worthy of Praise. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. Philadelphia.—In no other field have colored Americans with artistic aspirations found the road to success so hard as that leading to prominence upon the stage. As a rule, those who have selected the stage for their professional career have been given very little consideration by our writers and critics. It is true, however, that the profession has in the past merited severe criticism; but, like any other thrifty vocation, it has improved with time. There are many clever, honest and well deserving colored men and women "allowing this profession. Conspicuous on the roll of those who are endeavoring daily to raise the standard of acts upon the stage may MISS EFFIE KING AND MISS LOTTIE GEE. be mentioned the Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee, the Ginger Girls, in a refined singing and dancing act. These talented young women have one of the "bister" acts in vaudeville. Both have excellent voices and know how to use them. The act is beautifully costumed and staged with artistic taste. They are conscientious workers, and their services are constantly in demand. Miss King was born in Lima, Oz, and educated in the public and high schools of that city. She began her musical career in the A. M. E. church of that city, and later joined the Mitchell Sisters of Wilberforce university in the American Jubilee chorus. Miss King appeared with Williams and Walker for two years, and with the Smart Set company for two years, and later joined her present partner in vaudeville. There is no more ambitious student among the colored performers than Miss Lottie Gee. Her aim has been to please, as she has successfully done. To this end she has thoroughly prepared herself. Miss Gee is a native of Virginia. She, with Miss King, joined the American Jubilee company, Williams and Walker company and later entered vaudeville. These young women represent the better element of young colored performers on the American stage. Both own property, thus showing that their efforts have not been in vain. RACIAL QUESTIONS ARE AMONG MOST IMPORTANT. Colored Americans Taking Care of Own Problem, Says Dr. MacArthur. In an able address at the national convention of Baptist young people of America, which held its sessions at the Baptist temple, Brooklyn, for five days recently, the Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur, who was for forty years or more pastor of the Calvary Baptist church in New York city, referring to the unjust discrimination and prejudice practiced against the colored people, made the following sweeping declaration: "The question of religion must be studied racially. Racial questions are among the most important considerations of the hour. We hear persons talk of the Negro question, but this is a question of minor importance. "The Negro is an American. He speaks English. He is vastly more American than many of us who affect to be his superior. He is taking care of his own question in an interesting way. The serfs of Russia were liberated before Mr. Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation. The Negro in America has made vastly greater strides in the acquisition of property, in the possession of education and in the development of Christian life than have the serfs of Russia. "The whole problem in America is finding its own solution. Perhaps the greatest danger we have today is with the ignorant white people rather than with the Negro. "There are enormously difficult racial questions in several states today, but they are largely questions affecting the white race rather than the Negro. "The Anglo-Saxon race is autocratic, proud and self opinionated. It is extremely hard to get on with it in many parts of the world. It treats not only the black race, but also the brown race, as if both races were greatly inferior." SPEAKS AT BATES COLLEGE Well Known Educator of Dalton, Mo., Pays High Tribute to His Alma Mater and Declares That Colored Americans Are Not Discouraged. Noble Type of White Americans. In a recent address at Bates college Professor N. C. Bruce, a prominent educator of Dalton, Mo., and an alumnus of Bates college, gave a most interesting and instructive discourse on the struggles and achievements of the colored race in America since emancipation. Professor Bruce is a well known college man and deserves all the praise which has come to him for his unselfish labors in behalf of his race. Mr. Bruce first paid this high tribute to his alma mater: "Bates college recognizes men and manhood. Her doors, from the beginning back yonder in 1864, were opened to all who had a will, male and female, especially the worthy poor. God grant her the wisdom to fight it out forever on this line. Like Pentecost, where Persians, Medes, Greeks, barbarians, Parthians, Cretes, Jews, all were welcomed and were of one mind and purpose, never destroying each other's sunshine of racial purity, may she never even suffer her student bodies to close Bates' door of hope against any poor boy of any race." Continuing his speech, Professor Bruce said: In those sections we now possess $1,000,000,000 of property, have more than forty good colleges manned successfully by our own trained educators, 2,000 lawyers, 3,000 medical doctors, 35,000 teachers of 2,000,000 children in public schools, 300,000 farms owned by us, with 100,000 churches and with upward of sixty banks of our own and hundreds of various business establishments, and the story has hardly begun of what has been done, and yet we are just beginning to make real progress. How is it. I am often asked, that your people, several hundred, are in German, Italian and English colleges PROFESSOR N. C. BRUCE. and universities, making equally high averages as the best white Americans, and that in our great American universities, when given a chance, they perform as well even in the most abstruse subjects as any of their white fellows? I invariably give one and the same answer to all, the Bates college answer, that "God is no respecter of persons." Your own Abraham Lincoln had less chance than most southern Negroes today, yet he excelled Harvard's Edward Everett at Gettsburg, and his name and fame today shine as a star of the first magnitude. Again I declare to you that my people are not discouraged. The God of nations is our God. He it is whom my people try to serve, who gives us grace sufficient to withstand every injustice aimed at us. But Bates college, especially the faculty and classes of the eighties and ninies, affords a better answer than my feeble words can give. For here there now is a type of great and noble hearted white Americans, who give every student equal and exact justice. Negroes are not all indolents, fools and menacers of race purity and race integrity. More than nine and three-fourths millions of us are proud of our God given color, satisfied with ourselves, are busy in our fields and at our work, trying always to produce a better citizenship and not thinking nor desiring to mongrelize America. The few score who give trouble are set down upon harder by these overwhelming hosts of us than by any of you or your southern cousins. And so sanity and reason are again reenthroning themselves in the minds and hearts of white Americans, and these, like Bates college fifty years ago, are now beginning to appreciate the oneness of humanity and are finding out that one man or race cannot degrade, enslave and withhold inenable rights from their unfortunate brother of a darker hue without themselves suffering in equal proportion. Our governing classes are seeing that education and training will help even cats and dogs and horses and that no imported Chinese, Jap. Slav, Turk or Greek can beat m. hardy and sunburnt race in the cotton, corn, hay and rice fields. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the matter of zeal for restricting immigration, Mr. Burnett, of Alabama, who heads the house committee, is keeping pace with Senator Dillingham of Vermont, long champion of the senate committee. This fact, according to Harper's Weekly, is significant. For many years, notwithstanding the south's failure to attract immigrants, southners in congress pretty generally have helped to vote down measures intended to reduce the number of them. Still the south has kept hoping to get its share of them. There is as yet not enough evidence to show that the south has changed her mind, but there may be signs of less eagerness. This does not apply to immigration to the south from other parts of the country, which is earnestly solicited. One conjectures that, whatever change has occurred, is due to the character of the bulk of our recent immigration, to labor troubles, and, perhaps, to coming prosperity in the southern states. It is quite probable that more southners, now that times are better than they used to be, are reflecting racial homogeneity has its value, and that one race problem may be better than many. At the Richmond conference on southern education last April, one speaker urged the need of fresh blood in the south, and of fresh blood in the south, particularly in agriculture, but it seems probable that southners more than ever are content with the stocks they have. This feeling apparently is not confined to the white people only. Booker Washington in a recent article takes a hopeful view of the Negro's chances in the competition for work with the white men, but in his "The Man Farthest Down," he says: "I have asked myself what would happen in our southern states if, as some people suggested, large numbers of these foreign peoples were induced to settle there. I greatly fear that if these people should come in large numbers and settle in colonies outside of the cities, where they would have comparatively few educational advantages and where they would be better able and more disposed to preserve their native customs and languages, we might have a racial problem in the south more difficult and more dangerous than that which is caused by the presence of the Negro." It looks as if the problem of many races is still to be mainly the north's and the west's; as if the south will continue to confine itself mainly to its one great problem—Washington Herald. Articles of incorporation for the Louise Training School for Colored Boys, to be built at Chicago, have been filed with the county recorder. The institution is aimed to "provide home and proper training for such boys as may be committed to its charge." The incorporators are Jaller Will T. Davis, J. Gray Lucas and William O. La Mante. The trustees include also John L. Whitman, J. G. Brumidan, C. M. Reed, the Rev. F. Emory Lyon, J. F. Taylor, the Rev. Lee Jefferson, James McDonald, Mrs. Alice Caldwell, Mrs. E. J. Jenkinson, Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton, Elizabeth McDonald and Mrs. Georgia Davies. Tennessee has entered the list of states having consolidated country schools. By a law lately passed provision is made for the merging of country schools and the transportation of pupils. Mrs. J. D. Hammond of Atlanta, Ga., wife of the president of Paine college, who describes herself as "the child, grandchild and great-grandchild of southern slave owners, has in mind an enterprise which has for its purpose the proper housing of colored people, which she holds is the center of the whole Negro problem. Mrs. Hammond plans to purchase a block of land about six acres in size, and upon four acres to build double three-room houses, each being supplied with modern conveniences, the cost of which she estimates at $800. The rent will be about $2 a room a month—all these people can pay. With each house garden space is to be reserved in the rear. The extra two acres are to be used as a playground for children, and also afford room for a community house in which can be a kindergarten room, and others for a boys' club, cooking and sewing classes, free baths, a laundry and a drying room. In her campaign for $50,000 to carry out her project Mrs. Hammond has the support of some of the leading bankers, business men and educators of the south. According to the mortality statistics compiled by the United States census bureau in 1906, from a registration area comprising slightly less than one-half of the population of the United States, there were 6,324 deaths from whooping cough in that area are children under five years of age. Briguetting the abundant lignites of Saskatchewan is interesting the government of that Canadian province, which has sent G. B. Buchell, a mining expert, to Germany to study the utilization of low grade coal. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes Fund board and director of the John F. Slater fund, sends the following communication to the Boston Transcript: If I may be permitted I should be glad, through your paper, to call attention to a fine work which has been begun in Nashville, Tenn., for the training of colored social workers. The school is under the direction of a representative board composed of such men as Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt university, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Thirkeld, Hon. J. C. Napier, and others. The moving spirit and executive secretary is Mr. J. E. McCulloch, who is also secretary of the Southern Sociological congress, a man of devoted ability and enthusiasm. Any one who may be interested in this needed work may get information by writing to Mr. McCulloch at Nashville. The school of course stands in need of assistance. I know of few places where assistance would be as wisely bestowed. Two features of this work should commend themselves to people in the north who wish to aid in improving conditions among the colored people of the south. First, the school is inter-church, all denominations being represented on its board. I recently attended a meeting of the board at which were present a leading colored Methodist bishop and also one of the most prominent colored Baptist ministers of the south. Such interdenominational co-operation is much to be welcomed, especially where denominational feelings are so strong. Second, the school is most valuable in emphasizing the need of recognizing the importance of social work in the churches. There is great and immediate need of extending this idea throughout the colored churches in the south, and with adequate support this undertaking in Nashville can exercise an important influence in this direction. A fact which is not widely known is that the office of collector of the port at the capital of the United States almost invariably is given to a Negro. The office is not so important as it was, but still carries some prestige with it. Georgetown, a section of Washington, is the port of entry of the capital city, and at one time was one of the chief ports of entry of the United States, being a shipping point for huge quantities of Virginia and Maryland tobacco. Whitefield McKinley, a Negro, is the present collector at Georgetown. W. H. Lewis, a Negro of Massachusetts, until recently held the high office of assistant attorney-general of the United States. In fact, if you go down the list a good many high jobs will be found to be filled by the Negroes. Not long ago Negroes held some of the high elective offices in Washington. There was a Negro member of the house of representatives, James J. Lynch of Mississippi, until 1900. Lynch was permanent chairman of the Republican national convention which nominated President Harrison. Perhaps the foremost negro politician of the country was old Senator Bruce, who for several years represented Mississippi in the United States senate. His son, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, is at present assistant superintendent of schools of the district. United States Senator White of North Carolina was also a Negro. Frederick Douglass was a Negro who occupied a prominent position in American politics, but he was nearly white. Although he has no medals of honor, Robert Dorsey, a thirteen-year-old colored youth at Washington, D. C., is a hero in the eyes of his young friends, for the other day, at the peril of his own life, he made a dive in Rock creek and pulled out a drowning boy, also colored. So unimpressed was the rescuer with what he had done that he did not even ask the other boy his name, and the rescued lad, after emitting several quarts of Rock creek water, was so gladd to find himself alive that he "beat it home in quick order. Robert was just preparing to take a dip in what is known as "the baby hole." He had his back to the water and had on only a portion of his bathing suit when one of his comrades on shore called that a boy had waded out beyond his depth and was sinking. When Robert turned toward the water he could see only the tip ends of the hands of the imperiled one. These disappeared from sight as the young life saver made a flying leap into the water. He soon had the other boy on shore. The youngster was u harmed except from slight strangling and fright. Robert was good as new after the exploit. Reports from 30 states show that 6,251 children died of whooping cough, 4,232 from scarlet fever and 9,279 from diphtheria in these states during the year 1911. The relative mortality from whooping cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria is essentially the same throughout the country, whooping cough being almost everywhere more fatal than scarlet fever and less fatal than diphtheria.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland Ohio, as second-class matter Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation double that of any newspaper in the Interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Cleveland THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1913. OUR THIRTY-FIRST YEAR! With our issue of Aug. 2. The Gazette entered upon its thirty-first year, having been published every week on time since August 25, 1883. A remarkable record for any publication! Once, only, during our long career we were compelled to fight a disastrous fire, in the building in which our work was done, in order to keep our publication record clean, and, of course, succeeded. It will be noticed that in thirty years, we have gained in time almost a month, as our last issue in our thirty-first year was that of July 26, 1913, while our birth-date is August 25. From the beginning, it has been edited and managed by the writer who can hardly realize that so long a time "in the saddle" has elapsed. The Gazett's successful efforts to wipe out the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws," years ago; to secure the enacting of Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, are well-known to all of our people, particularly those here in Ohio. What it has done, also, in hundreds of instances, to help, defend and encourage our people, is also well known. One has only to recall the successful fight, led by The Gazette early this spring, to kill the Ohio Assembly's anti-marriage bill, to appreciate the full force of the preceding sentence. Personal interests have always been subordinated to those of our people. Its call to Afro-Americans, in season and out, is never to accept anything in treatment, less than to due all citizens, without reference to class or color. When it comes to our citizen rights, here in the north, we have always been unalterably opposed to a "doctrine of surrender" or conciliatory policy, and shall continue to be so. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country, and continuing to fight for until secured, ALL that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! The Gazette's firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recommendation for greater support. The lack of sufficient patronage is the only thing that has prevented the doubling of the size of the paper and making other improvements we have greatly desired for years. Here is where our faithful following, thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the great lakes to the gulf, can afford us material assistance, if they will. Urge your friends and acquaintances to subscribe for The Gazette and by the first of the year double our circulation. For all you have done in past years, we thank you and assure you of our thorough appreciation. THE GRAND THEATER AND LUNA PARK. The point has been made that The Gazette has been inconsistent in accepting an advertisement of an entertainment of our people to be held in the Grand Theater and refusing to accept others for Luna Park. It is claimed that the theater management draws a color-line, too. About a year or so ago it did, but as we believed, and do still believe, was estopped by suits which were instituted by members of the race. We are one of the most傲慢 industry into this matter and find that there are those on both sides of the question who insist that they are correct in their positions. Some of our people claim to have had seats, the past season in the upper and lower parts of the theater and that there has been no color-line drawn in that house for quite a year. One thing sure, if it or any other place does so discriminate against our people and we know it, space in The Gazette cannot be purchased in which to advertise anything our people are foolish enough to try to hold in it. That is our position and we want everybody to know it. We need money, as does every business enterprise, but we do not need it that badly. We profess to have, and do have the self and race respect we insist upon all other members of the race having and showing whenever it is necessary. Beginning, August 1, 1913, the open saloon became a constitutionally legalized (business) institution in Ohio for the first time in the state's history. This makes our Ohio Civil Rights law the perfectly effective statute or measure we intended it to be when we secured its enaction in 1894. In 1900, a state supreme court decision exempted saloons, and of course restaurants in the same, froth provisions of the law on the general ground that the saloon business was not a legitimate business. The saloon is now a "public place" of entertainment, etc. PETER H. HARRIS W. J. Springborn DIRECTOR WM. J. SPRINGBORN And Councilman FitzGerald Send "The Gazette" the Latest Corre- pondence Relative to the E. 24th St. Extension Through to Cedar Ave. —Progress in the Matter Being Made as Rapidly as Possible. When the editor of The Gazette first became acquainted with Wm. J. Springborn, many years ago, he was a republican. Later on, he became a member of the City Council, representing members of that party in his ward, which was located in the southeastern part of the city, his division of lower street-car fares for the people of Cleveland, Mr. Springborn incurred the enmity and opposition of Senator Hanna and others active in the effort to defeat the low-fare movement inaugurated by Mayor Robt. B. Eckmisson and continued by Mayor Tom L. Johnson. This position forced Mr. Springborn to follow the example with the result that the latter elevated the former to the position he now holds, which our present Mayor, Newton D. Baker, reappointed him to when he took office, a year and a half ago. Throughout Mr. Springborn's political career he has always been quietly aggressive, always gentlemanly in his demeanor, always calm in contact; so successful largely because he is studiously careful, honest and approachable at all times. He is possessed of splendid ability and, regardless of political affiliations, can be counted upon at all times as a true friend of our people. This the editor of our people will all admire in personally attaining at any time. The following letters are self-explanatory. Editor Gazette. My dear Mr. Smith: —I am enclosing you a carbon copy of a letter recently written to Mr. FitzGerald which relates to the extension of East 24th Pl. Mr. FitzGerald has acknowledged the letter and stated that the prices to be paid are entirely satisfactory to him.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir;—I inclose herewith copies of correspondence with Director Springborn relative to the extension of East 24th Pl. I hope that the bonds for this improvement will be purchased at an early date. Dear Sir:—Mr. Brannon, representing this office, has been negotiating with the owners of the property required for extending East 24th Pl through to Cedar Ave. We are able to purchase the lot fronting on Cedar Ave, having a frontage of 52 feet 6 inches, including the large house upon it and also including the 40 foot lot immediately in the rear of same property, making this improvement has a width of 55 feet, with a small house on it, for which the party wants $2000, making the total improvement cost $2520. There would be some salvage in the sale of the old houses, although these would have to be torn down as they are located within the fire limits, and being frame buildings we could not move them upon other property so we could have some surplus land which we could offer for sale so as to reduce the total cost still further. If this agreeable to you kindly let me know, and I will have an ordinance prepared authorizing the purchase of the property. W. J. Springborn. Director of Public Service. — Aug. 7, 1913. W. J. Springborn, Esq., City Hall, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the Ft. I am instant relative to the extension of East 24th Pl. The action suggested by you meets with my approval. Please accept my thanks for your courtesy. Sincerely yours. W. S. FitzGerald. Councilman, 11 Ward. "JIMCROW" Y. M. C. A.'S. Baneful Effects in Chicago—A Warming to Our People of the North That Should Be Heeded. Chicago, IL—The uprising in this city's fast-pacedurburb Wilmette residents, encouraged by the recent establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. in this city, reaches its crest, Aug. 6, and many servants and chauffeurs are out of jobs. The town-board was considering a memorial directed against a real estate firm encouraging Negro immigration. A few days ago everyone in Wilmette felt the "white" residents of Wilmette desired the town to themselves and that here after there would be no employment there for Negroes. Some opposition was met in cases where Negro servants had been employed by families for years, and the end is not yet. The Y. M. C. A. effects are rapidly multiplying. Y. M. C. A. is rapidly multiplying. Ever since its inception there has been one organized attempt after another of prejudiced local, wealthy "whites" who live in the suburbs of Chicago, to establish separate schools for our people in this city, and other color lines like the above and Columbus and Cincinnati, and the entire north of this country, beed this warning—the unfortunate experiences of our brethren here "along the color-line."

SENT TO THE DEVIL "President Wilson nominated one Negro for a federal office so far, and even this one Colored official the southroners declared to make a fight on.

The citizens have organized, raised funds in a legal committee and have retained an irrigation attorney to force the Farming Co. to give what they declare due them—Los Angeles (Cal.) Liberator. Permanent headquarters for Cleveland Afro-Americans is contemplated. A scheme under consideration provides for a six-story building on Central Ave to cost from $50,000 to $75,000. The proposed new building will have an auditorium to seat 600 people, and there will be 100 living rooms to be used by newcomers while looking for homes in the city. It will be provided for different lodges, including work accommodations, and the large rooms will be used for conventions. There will be a school school also and opportunities will be afforded to carry on instruction now given by the Working Girls' Christian home, 2426 Central Ave., of which Mrs. L. Beason is the president. James F. Beason stated Monday that many promoters have received many promoters of white citizens, who seemed to feel such a scheme ultimately would be a great brow to Cleveland generally. When we have raised $4,000 or $5,000 we shall make a start the same as the churches do when they have a building scheme on hand," he said. The Working Girls' Christian home, Beason explained, was formed about 18 months ago, like our boys and their families, for institution to them. Nearly every thing requires a civil service examation nowadays, and at the home ABYSSINIA MINSTRELS Brilliant Electrical Effects and Elaborate Costumes our young men and women may receive a good general education or be instructed in philips in school they intend to specialize," he explained.

Because he is in sympathy with it or because he is indifferent to it Useless because he feels he cannot interest Northern Senators.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: A study of the Japanese question of the Pacific Coast throws light on the cause of the condition of "our Colored friends who sojourn in our land" the native-born Colored people. Missionaries fool Colored people in foreign lands by praising the christian glories and liberties of America and its exemplary leadership. Too many of our foreign Colored brethren have the peculiar possibility of belief and believe, and when they come here they are quickly and sadly disenchanted for every illusion vanishes as the problem is worked out in daily experience. The Japanese temporarily accepts a mental position, but is constantly on the watch for something higher up, and looks forward to self-employment and independence. American prejudice demands that both he and the Negro shall stay down, but he refuses to remain the under dog. Like the Jew, he is quiet, industrious and hard-working, but he refuses to clanishness or segregation, but he refuses to stand for the American brand of race prejudice and proscription. In his own country he was a man; in this country he is merely regarded as a serf or peon, with no prospect of escape from that condition. The American Negro will have no trouble if he bows down to the standards set for him by his oppressors, but friction begins when he commenches to stand for his just and inherent rights. He can gain nothing by forsaking his own standards and race traits which have always been the praise of unprejudiced men of other races. No self-respecting Negro can be content if assigned to the bottom stratum of society. He should keep poaching for something higher up. He too, should be industrious and thrifty, and NEVER FORGET that he is a man, regardless of the crass, vulgar opinions of his oppressors. Everybody despares a man who puts a cheap estimate upon himself. OTHMAR Stood By Her Boy. Charleston, W.

The fact that the defendant had a white mother seemed to surprise him, so he notated Clark and his brothers living with her, Attorney Tom Nutther, a member of the race, who represented the defendant, won the admiration of all for the plucky fight he put up to clear his client.

In Honor of the Perry Centennial—Our Sister-City to Show Recognition of Our Part in the Famous Perry Victory on the Great Lakes. By Universal News Service. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 6. -Extensive preparations are being made by the Negro residents of Buffalo for a celebration held here in September. About 10,000 visitors of the race will be in Buffalo for the celebration and local residents are preparing to give them a royal welcome. The Negroes will have a delegation in the parade, and every honor those members be paid to the race who were with Perry. At a meeting of the Negro citizens of Buffalo, the following officers were chosen to arrange for the Perry celebration: James A. Ross, advisory general; James S. Walker, chairman of the executive committee; the chairman of the committee of sixty; Henry Hamilton, chairman of the housing committee; and Norman E. Tucker, chairman of the reception committee. An arch is to be erected at Michigan and Clinton Sts., to commemorate the great part played by the heroic Negro sailors who fought with Perry. An honor will be paid to their memories, and the work of the work done by the Negro in the engagement on Lake Erie. Matters advertising the event will be distributed in Cleveland, Chicago, New York City, Detroit, Erie, Toledo and other cities. It is expected to be one of the largest gatherings of Negroes ever held in connection with an affair of this kind. Elaborate entertainment has been arranged for the court. Receptions and entertainments have been arranged for churches and other places, and everything is to be done to ensure the comfort of visitors. Another Segregation Act Killed.

Life for Ty Cobb must be just one blamed suspension after the other. The Detroit Tigers have purchased Pitcher Schmultz of the Vancouver team. New York Giant pitchers have forgotten the foolish art of giving bases on balls. Both Terreau and Bedient, the world's series stars, are going badly this year. Bob Hedges says that the St. Louis Browns have a fine chance to win the pennant next year. Ham Hyatt is belting the ball savagely this season. If he had speed he would be a wonder. Rumor has it that some fans are on their way from Chile to attend the world's series of 1913. Kommers, the new Pirate outfielder, looks a little clumsy in the field, but very dangerous at the bat. The sale of Chappell may cost the Milwaukee club the pennant in the American association this fall. President Jim McLeer is said to attend more of his team's games on the road than any other club owner. For a youth playing his first year in the majors, Sam Agnew of the Brown's ranks with the leading catchers. Red Doooln has acquired the habit of sending in substitutes, so he yanks out players whether they do well or not. Manager Stovall seems to have two of the best young southpaws heavens in the league in Hamilton and Leverenz. President Holland of the St. Joseph Drummers, is trying, to get some of the surplus players from Callahan or Mack. Practically all of the major league managers, except Johnny Evers, concoce the National league pennant to the Giants. George Burns, who is playing left field for the Giants, is doing some of the best outfielding ever seen at the Polo grounds. Pitcher Hendrix of the Pirates, has gone and done it—bought himself an automobile, thanks to Hans Wagner's bad example. Catcher Schang of the Athletics is one of the few men in big league ball who can bat equally well right-handed or left-handed. Clark Griffith says that he is going to add several more southpaws to his pitching staff, now that Boehling is going so good. McGraw seems to like the Cubans. The Giant leader has purchased Pitcher Emilio Palemro of the Almendares team of Havana. Catcher Daly, the youngster secured from the Lowell (Mass.) team by the White Sox, is regarded as one of the finds of the year. George McBride, the veteran shortstop of the Senators, has been nicknamed "Pinch" McBride. And he is some pinch hitter, too. In New York they say that the only other ball player who plays his position with the easy nonchalance of Shafer is Larry Lajoie. Charles Ebbets' new park is the best drained in the country. Nothing but a sudden flood will prevent a game on that ground. Maranville, the pee-wee shortstop of the Braves, continues his brilliant all-around playing. He is the most popular member of the team. Outfielder Tommy Leach, of the Cuba, hasn't lost any of his fielding speed. There are few who can go out on a fly ball as well as he. Jake Stahl's recent dive into private life is about on a par with leaving the world's champions to play right field for the Browns. Bert Daniels of the Yankees is very fast on the bases. The only trouble with Bert is that he is not able to hit often enough to get on. Earl Hamilton, the sensational young southpaw heaver of the Browns, has twice this season held the Highlanders to a single hit in one game. Many managers have a hard time convincing some ball players that the head can be used for other things beside a place on which to hang a can. Pitcher Lefty Schwenk of the Saginaw team of the Southern Michigan league is credited with pitching four full games in four days besides finishing another—36 innings in all. In the 36 innings he struck out 33 batters. Third Baseman Charley McDonald of the Braves, seems to be another Hillee Zimmerman in point of hitting. In 1911, with the Dallas club, he hit .324 in 144 games, although he displayed no unusual slugging ability with Cincinnati last season. PORTS BY PIONEER TEAMS The playing of Jacques Fournier in outfield for the Chicago White Sox has been a revelation. Manager Callahan tried the big Frenchman on first base early in the season, but he did not quite come up to expectations and was used as a pinch hitter. When the men Callahan had in the outfield slumped in their batting, Fournier was tried out and he has been making good, both with the stick and in fielding. Nick Altrock is the man who deserves much of the credit for developing Joe Boehling. The veteran southpaw has been tutoring the youngster all season. What with Fletcher, Shafer and Fromme, the Giants have as many Arthurs as the New York Americans, with Fisker, Caldwell and Keating, have Rays. Veach keeps on rapping the ball for Detroit. He has been a great find for Detroit, the best young outfielder the team has picked up since the discovery of Cobb. Russell Blackburn, who is playing grand ball for the Milwaukee Brewers, is responsible for the Cream City men being out in front in the American association. Umpire William Bierhalter, formerly of the American association staff, has been granted permission by President Barrow to finish the season in the Ohio State league. Bobby Byrne of Pittsburgh recently came to bat following two pinch hitters who had failed. Byrne caught one for a sharp single past third base and won the game with it. Beach year a young pitching phenom is discovered. Last year it was Hendrix in the National league. This season young Boehling, of Washington, looks like the star. Somebody said to Jawn McGraw the other day: "I didn't know you had Indian named Thorpe who was a ball player?" "Neither did I," crisply responded the Little Napoleon. SPORTING WORLD Willie Ritchie, light weight champion, is to take a long rest. University of Virginia has football club to stir up enthusiasm among the students. Twenty polo teams took part in the interregimental cup contests at Hurlingham, England. The New South Wales rugby football league has invited an English team to visit Australia next year. Jimmy Benyon will race several horses owned by Frank G. Jones through the Great Western circuit. The official time of Ross B., 2:06 as second to Anvil, was 2:04½ and 2:05. He is, indeed, a fast trotter. Greece will celebrate the victory over the Turks by holding its postponed Olympic games next spring. In Germany Arthur Stellbrink leads the motorcycles with a total of $48,000 for five years from 1908 to 1912. Toronto Rowing club plans a $60, 900 clubhouse on the new harbor. Other clubs will also construct new buildings. Two of the two 2:10 trotters are products of Ohio; Uncle Biff, 2:06%, having been bred at Cleveland, and Eulabel, 2:09% at Lima. The University of California is con- ducting a summer school of athletic instruction in baseball, football, soccer football and swimming. The Melbourne cup, which is the richest handicap on the Australian turf, will be worth $40,000 this year, in addition to the owners' contributions. . . . Two of the finest horses that ever raced in Keene colors, Colin and Peter Pan, are to be brought back to America and sold for breeding purposes here. Australasia is teaching boys the strokes of lawn tennis playing so that the commonwealth may put in the field each year a stronger and better prepared team to go after the Davis cup and successfully defend it should it again go back to Australia. The Berlin stadium where the 1916 Olympic festival will be held is built into an excavation, situated in the suburb of Gruenwald, on the western side of the great city of Berlin. It is built of cement and contains accommodations for about 30,000 spectators. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1913 SIMPLE CLOTHES FOR YOUNG GIRL Something Mother Should Remember When Selecting the School Trousseau. ALL MUST BE SERVICEABLE Most Institutions Have Strict Rules Concerning Finery—Best to Choose Materials That Will Withstand Hard Wear—Blouse May Suit Taste. THE time is at hand when the small daughter must be made ready for school. If she is to stay at home this may only mean the making of a frock or two, but if boarding school is in order there must be more or less of a trousseau. For the former a definite frock is frequently needed, many schools insisting upon a sort of uniform for wear during the school hours. Mothers should find this out to avoid the possibility of making up dresses that cannot be worn. Though there may be no required style of frock, every mother should consider carefully the style and material for the school dress. Remember for the next nine or ten months the clothes that will make the most definite impression are those worn five days of the week to school. Half worn party dresses or overdressing are no longer countenanced by fashionable mothers, and should be much less so by mothers who must do the sewing for their children, writes Jane Barton in the Chicago Tribune. In getting ready for school, especially for the school frock, I cannot over-emphasize the doctrine of simplicity. If nothing else induces you to make simple clothes for your schoolgirl, try to remember they are much smarter and far better taste. Another memory jog—nothing that is not eminently serviceable will pass muster for school wear. There are two distinct styles of dressing for the schoolgirl who has reached her "teens." First there is the tailored suit worn with separate blouses. This has many advantages, as a variety of waists can be worn with one suit, and the girl looks well on the street. Then, too, the mother who is not equal to doing all her daughter's sewing can buy a well cut, serviceable suit and make the blouses at home. Choose *Material for Hard Wear.* If you are sufficiently expert to tackle the suit by yourself, choose a material that will stand hard wear. Nothing is better than an English tweed, a rainproof serge or cheviot, or an all wool diagonal. Do not go in for novelties or extreme styles in the school suit, especially of you can afford but one. A dark blue, a rich brown, or a dull red is always in good style. The checks and striped materials in dark colors are also good, but one tires of them sooner. Always have the goods spooned. It costs little to have this done in the stores and the luster of the material is not lost and much valuable time is saved to the home dressmaker. Get a good pattern, being sure to choose one that is girlish in its lines. The Norfolk jacket is always in good style for a school suit; so is the straight box coat with loose lines, possibly belted a trifle at the back. Misses' patterns are usually ordered by the age number unless your daughter be out of the normal measurements, in which case always mention it. A simple, stylish suit for the schoolgirl has a four gore skirt with a double box plait at the back and opens down the left side with an overlapping tuck an inch and a half wide. This is faced back to the depth of fifteen inches and is stitched on both edges. The placket is cut about ten inches deep and fastened with hooks and eyes on the under side. The lower edge of the tuck is cut in a diagonal line and beneath it two side plains fall to the bottom of the skirt. Six buttons, bone or silk covered, are set an inch and a half apart from the bottom of the tuck up. The bottom of the skirt reaches to the ankles or shorter, according to the age of your daughter, and is finished with a four-inch hem, or may be faced if material is scarce. Cutting the Coat. The coat, which reaches about two inches below the hip line, is cut on long straight lines, something on the old reefer style. The back is entirely plain, with a strap six inches long and an inch and three-quarters wide at the waist line. The ends are pointed and finished with a button in each point. The fronts are cut as if for a plain double breasted coat fastening on a line with the side tuck on the shirt and stitched to the same depth. The edge of the coat is cut straight for thirteen fourteen inches—the length of the coat varies somewhat to make it becoming—then is cut in a shape diagonal to center front at the point of the collar, joining slightly above the bust line or higher if your daughter has a weak chest and the low cut, necks are unsafe. Fasten the diagonal edge with hooks and eyes or a fly for buttons and buttonholes. Button the straight stitched lower edge with six buttons to carry on the line of those used on the skirt. Work buttonholes on the right edge between the stitching, and sew buttons to correspond on the left front. Measure carefully to get the lapping Mexico's Historic Stone Lizard. A weird-looking creature is that known to scientists as the mysterious stone lizard of Cuernavaca, Mexico. This reptile, carved on a huge bowler lying on an overgrown hillside, is situated about eight miles from Cuernavaca and 70 miles southwest of Mexico City. It was there, centuries old, when Cortex first saw Cuernavaca, and is supposed to have been carved to commemorate some events in the wanderings of the prehistoric civilized race which built the great palace at even. Stitch the upper parts of fronds with canvas and line the coat through out with a gay silk or farmer satin. Thus a dark blue suit may have a vivid green or red lining, a brown one can be lined with orange or a warm yellow. Make the rolling collar of the cloth on both sides stiffened with canvas. It should measure four and one-half inches at back of neck, rolling into a three-inch depth, and widen to six inches at the lower edge, which forms a rever shape cut in a sharp diagonal from the point of the V neck opening, the outer edge of the collar being six inches longer than the inner. **Stitching Cuffs and Collar.** The sleeves are a plain, two-piece coat sleeve set into the armhole without fullness. Finish the bottom with a straight, turn-back cuff three inches deep. The cuff laps on the outside of arm, is stitched on outer edge, and an inch within it and has three buttons set on the line of stitching where the cuff laps. The edge of the collar is stitched in the same way as the coat. Though this collar is finished to wear plain, the suit is much more stylish if a moire or striped silk facing in selftones or in some vivid contrasting shade is used with it. As the silk solls and wears none too well, hem it on by hand instead of making it a part of the collar as is customary. In this way it may easily be removed. Cut the same shape as the collar, but about half an inch smaller, then turn in the edges so the silk line just covers the inner line of stitching. Hem with tiny stitches or join with blind stitching. The kind of blouse to wear with such a suit depends largely upon individual taste. Some girls wear the heavier white waistles of plique, madras, or galatea all winter. They should be made on severe tailored lines, open in front under a box plait through which the buttonholes are worked lengthwise down the center of the plait. One can select a kimona pattern with the long shoulder lines, if becoming, or, if set in sleeves are used, make the blouse with Gibson tucks to give more fullness. Many of the newer shirtwair models have yokes both front and back, but quite as many are plain. A patch pocket is often set on the left side. Height of the Collar. Many girls wear the slightly low collar all winter. This is supposed to harden the throat. It should not be nearly so much of a dip as the summer blouse, not more than just to the base of the throat. The winter white blouse is more stylish when made with colored col THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY lars and cuffs. These may harmonize with the suit or form a sharp contrast, or, better yet, be of white embroidered in a touch of color. A pretty finish is a scallop on the edge with several rows of eyelocks or satin stitches or dots on the inside. The cross stitched collars on the canvas weaves or a heavy volvo are also smart. Another dainty effect is to have double collars and cuffs, the under of a vivid color, the upper one of some transparent material, as a thin white volle. It is cut the same shape as the under sections, but about an inch and a quarter smaller, and is edged with a narrow picot edging for a finish. Materials for Blouses. Where white blouses entail too much washing there are good looking wash silks in darkish tones. Many girls wear wash flannel waists, but I think it a mistake, since they are likely to catch cold when changing to thinner afternoon and evening gowns. Probably the most serviceable blouse is that the color of the suit, made with collar and cuff bands, furnished with buttons at regular intervals, to which may be buttoned fancy collars and cuffs, either white or colored silk, embroidered canvas, or pique. Even in making the dark blouse, choose a material that will launder. A nice quality of challis is serviceable and cheap. Some of it comes with a little satin stripe that adds much to its appearance. Crepe de chine, though it cost more in the beginning, makes an excellent school blouse, as it washes as well as linen and wears splendidly. The illustration shows a blouse coatée of printed nylon trimmed with black tulle and lace. The sleeves are a novelty with little lace epaulettes let in on the shoulders. Xochicalco, a few miles away. If this curious relic could speak, what tales it could tell of the long-dead past!—The Wide World. Cause for Rejoicing. Church-According to an Italian scientist, a square mile of the earth in six hours of sunshine receives heat equivalent to the combustion of more than 2,000 tons of coal. Gotham-It's fortunate we don't have to pay coal prices for sunshine, then CAP and BELLS COULDN'T STAND THE ORDEAL Prisoner Pleads Guilty Rather Than Listen to Many Hypothetical Questions of Experts. "Do you plead guilty or not guilty to this charge?" asked the court. The prisoner asked around him. Beside him was the doubtful lawyer he had retained to defend him. Arrayed against him were the best attorneys in the country. Above him sat the Lnplacable judge, and across the room was the bone-headed jury. "Judge," saio the prisoner, "before I enter this plea can I ask some questions?" "You may." "If I stand trial, will I hafter set here an' listen while these here shysters ask hypothetical questions?" "You will." "Do I hafter hear all these here handwriting' experts, fur an' again?" "You do." "Will I hafter set right here while the insanity doctors does all their talkin'?" "Certainly." "I'm ready." "Prisoner at the bar, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" One or the Other. One kid story leads on to another. A Cleveland school teacher—one who has at several periods in the sweet-scented past favored us with anecdotes about her pupils—sends us an account of a quiz conducted in her geography class only a day or two ago, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "In what zone do we live?" asked this teacher. "The temp'rut zone!" chanted the well-drilled class. "Right. And what do we mean by 'temperate?' Willie, you may answer." "Temp'rut is were it's freezin' cold half the time an 'roastin' hot the other half the time." If Willie wasn't sent to the head for that it wasn't because he didn't deserve the honor. SURELY FICTION. Mrs. Henpeck—Did you read this book "He Fell In Love With His Wife?" Mr. Henpeck—You don't think I'd read such foolish fiction as that, do you? Spoiled the Show. There is a good story of an actor who was depicting on the board a powerful pathetic past. He was made up marvelously to look starved to skin and bone, tootling on the verge of death from starvation, gasping for breath and weak amacation. Still, he had on his fingers a flashing diamond ring, and the sarcastic gallery reproved him for it one night. At the critical moment the hero faltered out in agony to the gallery: "Good heavens! If this falls, what shall I do?" The answer floated down unexpectedly from the top seats: "Pawn yer ring!" The act was spoiled—Ideas. A. Subscriber. "Was that man of much assistance in our great political movement?" "No. He is one of those people who will subscribe to your opinions, but not to your campaign fund." No Wonder. "Do you know, I never meet that man yonder but he gets on my nerves." "Dispute between our parlormald and our cook as to which is the headliner of the household." Wav It Goes. "A famous artist has it so much easier than an unknown painter." "How so?" "The unknown painter has to make his portraits look like the people he paints. The people a famous artist paints are willing to try to look like their portraits." Making a Majority. "There are nine men on a side in a baseball game, aren't there?" asked the man from abroad. "No," replied Miss Cayene. "Ten. The umbrella shifta." THE YOUTH'S COMPANION Literature with a purpose, entertainment with an ideal, information and incentive combined.
