TH1RTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 8 IN UNION THERE IS STRUGGLE MAN 'COMES BACK AT THE AGE OF 72 Kansan, Broke, in Debt and About Ready to Give Up, Is Now Wheat King. Regains Lost Fortune After Passing Allotted Life to Most Men. Salina, Kan.—"Can a man come back when he is 72 years old?" is the question the people of Gray county were asking a few short months ago, and they are answered. "Yes, or at least George Hewes did." Four years ago last June George Hewes, 72 years old, broke, in debt, depressed in spirit and about ready to give up, induced some friends to stake him in renting 1,600 acres of land, raw prairie at that. That summer he broke 200 acres of the prairie and sawed it to wheat; di 1914 he sawed 480 acres to wheat, and he secured a good harvest from both crops. In 1913 he harvested and sold 10,000 bushels of wheat, and last fall he sawed 1,200 acres to wheat, all on land which he broke and made since he rented the 1,600 acres in 1910, and since his 72d birthday. This summer he harvested 30,000 bushels of wheat and has a fortune that makes him independent. He is preparing to sow 1,600 acres of wheat this fall, having all the rented ground under the plow. He now uses all the modern farm implements, including the gas engine and a dozen plows. He cut his wheat by the modern methods and no farm in the state of Kansas is better equipped than George Hewes' rented place, 12 miles from Cimarron, in Gray county. He has the farm work down to a system which gives him the actual cost of raising his crop per acre. His estimate follows: Plowing and harrowing, per acre ..... $0.37 Disking and drilling, per acre ..... 37 Seed at 90c per bushel ..... 78 Harvesting and stacking, per acre ..... 1.50 Threshing per acre ..... 1.50 Total ..... $4.52 CAPITAL TO BE CLEANED WASHINGTON SLUMS WILL BE ABOLISHED, AS MRS. WILSON DESIRED. Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Wood row Wilson's dying wish that congress abolish the alley slums in the national capital was fulfilled when the house passed the senate bill which prohibits the use of dwelling houses in Washington alleys after four years from the date of the legislation. The bill now goes to the president for his signature. A few hours before Mrs. Wilson died she told the president she could go away happier if she knew the alley slums would be wiped out. Word was sent to the Capitol and the house district committee promptly reported a bill carrying a large appropriation to clear the slums. The house did not pass the measure as reported because of constitutional objections. The senate, however, passed another bill carrying out an old act providing for abolition of the slums, but cutting the time from eight to four years. The house accepted the substitute, acceptable to the White House, and it will become law. PROBE MAN'S DEATH OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE DEMISE OF PATIENT AT MASSILLON STATE HOSPITAL. Canton, O.—A probe into the death at the Massillon State hospital of Alfred Tisch of Canton, said to have been caused by injuries sustained in a fight, has been begun by Coroner Gavin. An autopsy showed, it is said, that the man died of a punctured liver. Three ribs had been broken, it is stated. According to Supt. Eyman, Tisch made an attack on an attendant. The guard was being overpowered, when several patients went to his aid, and after a fierce encounter Tisch was subdued. Tisch died later. Two Americans Drown Abroad. Washington, D. C.—Word has just reached the navy department of the death by drowning of Stanley McGregor and Marion Birkholm, hospital attendants in the naval hospital in the Philippines. McGregor came from Manistique, Mich., and Birkholm from Payne, O. War Hits Methodists New York City.-Methodist congregations in Germany are facing the necessity of closing the doors of their churches, and, in a great many instances, selling their property for whatever it will bring, owing to their inability to meet financial obligations, according to a letter received at the home office of the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church from Bishop John L. Nuelson. Great suffering is anticipated among the families of some of those who THE GAZETTE The countess of Dudley equipped and accompanied a voluntary field hospital for the front, the expenses being subscribed by Australians. Passengers Die When Train Goes Into Creek as Cloudburst Undermines Rail. St. Louis, HI.—The St. Louis & San Francisco "Texas Limited" plunged into a cloudburst near Lebanon, Mo., and four cars and the locomotive rolled into Bush creek when the railroad embankment gave way. Twenty-seven persons in two passenger coaches were drowned and probably a score injured. The four sleeping cars remained on the track and the passengers in those coaches rushed forward to rescue those imprisoned in the submerged cars. Most of the dead were drowned in the chair car and a great proportion of these were women and children. One man in the chair car lost his wife and five children. When the accident occurred he was thrown clear of the car and swam to shore. His wife and children died while he stood helplessly near by. In the submerged chair car was Miss Mona Campbell, a nurse of St. Louis. She broke a window and climbed out to the side of the car. Standing in water she felt about in the water until she touched the hands of drowning passengers. As she grasped a hand she pulled with all her strength. In this way she rescued five passengers. The identified dead so far as known were: Mrs. Elizabeth Rastetter of Alliance, O. 74, a widow, who was en route to Springfield, Mo. to visit her niece, Mrs. Shelton-Rainey; Henry Wagoner of Harrison, Ark.; John Meyers, wife and daughter of Thayer, Mo.; W. H. Childers of Billings, Mo.; Vernon and Elise Calvin of Runler, Ark.; and Daisy Perry. TROOPS TO QUIT MEXICO UNITED STATES SOLDIERS AT VERA CRUZ ARE RECALLED BY WASHINGTON. Washington, D. C.-The United States has ordered her troops to withdraw from Vera Cruz. The following statement was given out at the White House: "The troops have been ordered withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This action is taken in view of the entire removal of the circumstances which were thought to justify the occupation. The further presence of the troops is deemed unnecessary." The announcement followed a discussion of the situation at a cabinet meeting and came as a direct result of favorable advices from Paul Fuller, President Wilson's personal representative, who is returning from an investigating trip to Mexico. Consul John R. Silliman reported from Mexico City that the Constitutionalists have taken possession of the National railways of Mexico and renamed them the Constitutionalist railways of Mexico. The advices received are likely to put a stop to the plan of the bankers identified with the National railways of Mexico for the payment of Oct. 1 interest obligations, amounting to about $1,500,000 gold. It is said at the headquarters of the National Railways of Mexico in New York that the taking over of the railways by the Constitutionalists will be made the subject of an official complaint to the Washington government as an act of confiscation on the part of the Constitutionalists. Four Nations Sign Pacts With U. S. Washington, D. C.-Treaties between the United States and Great Britain, France, Spain and China were signed Tuesday by Secretary Bryan and the British, French and Spanish ambassadors and the Chinese minister, which the Washington government believes will make armed conflict between the United States and these nations almost impossible. The treaties provide that all disputes which cannot be settled by diplomacy shall be submitted to a commission for investigation for one year. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1914. ABSORPTION OF AFRO-AMERICANS Roosevelt's Brazil Article Provokes Lively Discussion. MULATTOES ARE INCREASING Speculation as to the Future Status of the Race as to Color Viewed From Many Angles—Unconscious Assimilation by the Whites Believed to Be Multiplifying. By RALPH W. TYLER. Washington.—The article by Colonel Roosevelt a short time since referring to the race absorption process going on in Brazil attracts attention to the possible absorption by the whites of the Negro in the United States. As things are drifting at the present time there is but one alternative for the Negro in this country—viz., either removal by absorption, or becoming a separate and distinct race in all things. The farseeing statesmanship of Dr. Booker T. Washington doubtless became cognizant of a possible race separation nearly twenty years ago, and his "In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress," uttered in his address at the Atlanta exposition in 1885, in the light of accumulative evidence showing the trend of the separation movement, appears to have been prophetic. And his earnest efforts to prepare his people for an economic independence seems to confirm the statement that his wise statesmanship foresaw and foresees a possible separation into distinct races in all things. The fact, however, that Dr. Washington's father was a white man and his mother a colored woman shows that the absorption process in this country is not of recent beginning and that the whites, not the Negro, prior to the abolition of slavery, paved the way for the admixture of races. Were it not for his fecundity the time when the Negro have become extinct might be prophesied with reasonable accuracy, so high is his death rate in cities. The Indian is no longer a serious problem because rapid extinction by death is proving the solution. But while the Negro's death rate is high his birth rate is relatively higher. The death rate of the Negro is highest in the congested cities, but less than one-third of the negro population is in the cities. Two thirds is a rural population, the death rate of which is practically normal. In the congested cities the death rate of the Negro, as compared with the rate for the whites, is as 10 to 6, and the birth rate among Negroes, as compared with the birth rate among whites, native whites, is as 10 to 43. By far the larger per cent of white births is among the foreign born whites, and the heavy immigration of foreign whites each year, which favorable immigration laws make possible, assures white supremacy in this country. For instance, in this city, which has the largest Negro population of any in the United States, the mulattoes increased nearly 50 per cent. The close student of the race problem knows that each generation of mulattoes more nearly approach the point where they can cross the boundary line and become uncharted by their color, lost among those of the dominant race. Every close student of the race is aware of the fact that a large per cent of the Negroes colated as mulattoes are today in all large cities safely "passing" occasionally or permanently as whites and enjoying the resultant unrestricted rights and privileges enjoyed by pure whites. They occupy, undiscovered, choice seats at theaters whose practice is to segregate the race in the biacony and gallery or exclude them; they dine at fashionable cafes whose practice is not to serve Negroes, and they are guests at hotels whose rule is to refuse accommodations to Negroes. Even in the south they frequently ride in security on railroad coaches and in street cars reserved for whites exclusively, dine at southern cafes exclusive for whites and rest on downy beds for whites and rest on downy beds for whites. Illustrating how difficult it frequently is for whites to discover some Negroes' racial identity I was traveling through Mississippi some some time ago and witnessed the attempt of a very light complexioned Negro to board the car reserved for Negroes. I knew the man personally and knew that he was identified with the Negro race, but the conductor, touching him on the shoulder, said, "This car's for niggers," white people ain't lowed to ride on it; take the next car back." And he did so and rode to his journey's end. In Washington so many mulattoes whose complexion is as fair as any whites, were scouring choice seats at theaters whose policy is to restrict Negroes to the balcony or gallery or exclude them altogether it was found expedient to employ Negroes as spotter. The duty of the Negro spotter an insufferable traitor—is to stand on the outside of the ticket window, and whenever one of these "white Negroes" apply for seats tip it off to the ticket seller. There are 8,000,000 blacks in this country as against 2,000,000 mulattoes. Without a recognized and honored propaganda in favor of absorption at the rate black is being evolved into mulatto and mulatto crystallized into white it will take many generations for the whites to absorb the Negro race in this country. The increasing restrictions and exclusions the Negro is meeting with, north as well as south, suggests that segregation, harsh as the term may sound and un-American as some may think the policy to be, is but in its infancy. Schools at which Negro students may now matriculate do not recognize him beyond the classroom, with the result that he becomes an isolated human being. Desirable as education is, worthy of every sacrifice as we acknowledge it to be, the number of Negro students who have the courage to become social outcasts at white universities grows perceptibly less each year. This very discrimination and restriction frequently induces very bright mulattoes to pass for white either to gain entrance to a white university or to enjoy a measurable social equality, so desirable in student life, after gaining entrance. It is this discrimination and restriction that induces thousands of mulattoes to assist absorption by passing unknown as whites. Once a Negro drops on the other side to secure an education, employment or citizen's rights and privileges when the fear of detection has been entirely dissipated the unrestricted rights and privileges he enjoys are so compensating he frequently loses himself permanently among the whites and thus assists absorption. The sole reason for a Negro desiring to pass as white is to enjoy rights and privileges vouchefaced by the constitution whites enjoy and to secure employment commensurate with his abilities it is easy for the white man to secure, but almost impossible for him as a Negro to obtain. I have just concluded a tour of 25,000 miles, during which I made a close study of this possible race absorption. I learned that few, if any, traction lines will employ a Negro as motorman or conductor, and yet I encountered many of them serving in these capacities who are passing as white. I found that railroad and sleeping car companies, whether north or south, decline to employ Negroes as conductors or train brakemen, and yet I learned that many Negroes are so employed while passing unknown as white. The disinfection on the part of department heads and bureau chiefs in the government service to appoint a Negro to a clerical position or position requiring technical knowledge, when certified by the civil service commission, if discovered that the certified is a Negro, has induced hundreds of mulattoes to secure federal appointments by not betraying their racial identity. And many of these, fearing the loss of their positions should their identity become known, are permanently passing as white, and not a few have married on the other side. In every large city in this country there are hundreds of very fair mulattoes who are occasionally or permanently passing as white, and the larger the city the easier it is for them to hide their identity. Taking the per cent increase of mulattoes during the last decade as a basis for making computations, in the next fifty years the mulatto population of the United States will have equaled that of the blacks. In the same period, by absorption, 17 per cent of those physically mulattoes will have lost themselves among the whites. In 1920, if the present ratio of increase continues, the mulattoes will form 26.6 per cent of the total Negro population of this country. The same ratio, if maintained, will cause the mulatto population to form 83.6 per cent of the total Negro population in 2020-100 years hence. During the next hundred years that are to evolve the present mulatto minority into a mulatto majority (83.6 per cent) of the total Negro population, the absorption of mulattoes by the whites will be steadily going on. Permit the present, unnoticed and unrealized, rate of absorption to continue without legislative check or hindrance, in 200 years there will be no Negro problem in this country. The mulattoes that have been born, out of wedlock, to white and Negro parents, have been far greater in numbers, it must be said regrettably, than those born to white and Negro parents legally married. Intermarriage between whites and Negroes, even in those states where it is not prohibited by law, is so rare as to attract attention because of its rarity. There is just as strong an aversion to intermarriage on the part of Negroes as on the part of whites, and the majority of Negroes who marry whites are those mulattoes who have permanently gone over to the whites. BISHOP HURST'S FOREIGN WORK Growth of the A. M. E. Church In Bermuda. ELEVEN ISLAND CHURCHES Status of the Colored People in Little British Colony Given In Report of Zealous Churchman, Who Labs Among Them—Dr. Patton Delivers Optimistic Address. Hamilton, Bermuda.—Imagine a country with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants in which the colored people largely dominate in numbers; one where the climate is delightful and is attractive to many tourists; one where the colored people are segregated in all things in about the same way as they are in the southern states, and you will have a fair idea of Bermuda. This little colony of Great Britain is situated in the West Indies, and the dominating characters are all white. It has a colonial parliament, in which only two of the members are colored. No colored man holds any other governmental position. There are no colored lawyers in the country, and there are only four or five physicians of the race. There are several colored merchants, however, and they do a business amounting to more than $250,000 yearly. There is no legislation here, as in the United States, against colored people, but there seems to be a tacit understanding that the colored people must be segregated in all things. Separate schools exist, not by law, but at the whims of the ruling class. Hotels will not take colored patrons, and in the churches the colored people are allowed to occupy only the rear seats. The only distinctly colored religious denomination here is the African Methodist Episcopal church, which has BISHOP JOHN HURST. eleven church edifices and is doing a most creditable work. At the recent session of the Bermuda A. M. E. conference, held at Somerset, Bishop John Hurst presided. The reports received showed increases along all lines. The sessions of the conference were held in Allen chapel. A notable feature of the session was the reception tendered Bishop and Mrs. Hurst. Addresses were delivered by Sir Thomas Wadsom, speaker of the colonial parliament; the Rev Dr. Cameron, pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian church, and the Rev Dr. Francis L. Patton, president emeritus of Princeton university. Dr. Patton made a most thoughtful address, in which he ventured the hope that the coming of the African Methodist church to Bermuda may awaken in the colored people a sense of larger responsibility. Bishop Hurst in his response mentioned the incidents that led up to the starting of the denomination in 1787, which, he asserted, was a protest against prejudice toward the colored race. "Born as a protest against unrighteousness, receiving its first imprint from men unlearned and poor, the African Methodist Episcopal church has accomplished that for which it aimed—namely, the establishment of a Christian brotherhood worldwide, where every man, he be Caucasian, African or Mongolian, stands on the same footing," said Bishop Hurst. "It contributed its influence toward the abolition of slavery in the United States, undertook the work of education in the south in 1865, sent missionaries in the vanguard of the Union army, and the shackles fell from the slaves gathered them into squads and organized them into Christian bodies." He then traced the present day activities of the denomination, with its thousands of churches, many schools and colleges, missions, schools in the West Indies, South America and Africa as well as its general influence in racial uplift. He said: "If you knew how this Christian church was started in 17S7 and the circumstances that attended its development and how it has brought telling results, in the field of evangelization, education, temperance and Christian citizenship you would perhaps have a higher appreciation of its achievements and the men and women who are giving their time and money for these purposes." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GERMANS TRYING TO PREVENT ROUT Teutons, Being Forced Back by Foe, Are Fighting With Dogged Resistance. Kaiser's Army Is Repulsed When It Makes Occasional Salies. Paris, France.—The rear guard engagement upon which the German retreating right wing entered on Monday, Sept. 14, has developed into what promises to be the decisive battle of the campaign in France. Fighting proceeded with renewed fury Wednesday all along the 110-mile battle front in which nearly all of the 2,000,000 men of the rival armies, together with about 500,000 reinforcements to the allies, are engaged. The Germans are fighting strictly on the defensive, battling ferociously to prevent the utter rout of the armies whose realignment their covering movement was designed to protect. Though no definite results have come out of the three days' fighting, the enemy is being forced back steadily before the allied pressure, but is fighting with dogged resistance every mile of the way. The advance of the allies is described by the war office as steady but not rapid. For the allies, the situation continues favorable generally. The Germans have delivered several counter attacks and have occupied several new positions from which they have made occasional sallies but always have been repulsed. The British First corps, under Lieut. Gen. Sir Douglas Halg, the hero of Maubeuille and Guise forms the center of the battle, and the brunt of the fighting has been forced on its front, while the French, supporting it on the left and right, have been engaged only intermittently thus far. The German losses have been heavy. The British center captured 200 prisoners during the day. Many detached bodies of the invaders have been abandoned to be taken as prisoners by the allies, and numerous groups of stragglers hidden in forests have been taken into camp as prisoners, a condition which they welcome, owing to their exhausted and hungered state. Fighting Forced Upon Germans. The battle front extends from the region of Noyon to the plateau north of Vic-Sur-Aisne and from Soissons-Le-Massif and Laon to the heights north and west of Rheins. Another line runs from the district north of Ville-Ars-Tourie to the west of the Argonne region and thence along a third line north of Varonnes, just evacuated by the Germans, to the River Meuse at a point near Forges, north of Vendu. Along this whole front the fighting has been forced upon the Germans, principally because of the resistance offered by the fortress of Troyon, 12 miles southeast of Verdun, which will go down into history as the Liege of France. It was the resistance of this fort that foiled the desperate effort of the German army to open a way to Metz through the country between Verdun and Epinal. This defeat of the German purpose prevented the Metz army from coming to the assistance of the German left and effectively cut off all chances of a German retreat across the Meuse. The French, by their victories along the line between Verdun and Toul, with the weight of the engagement at Troyon, remain masters of this valley. Thus has Troyon held the German army in France to defend itself on ground of the allies' own choosing, just as at Liege the Belgians vastly deterred the German advance into France until French mobilization was completed. Only One Line of Retreat. By this victory of the allied forces the Germans are compelled to accept but one line of retreat. This is in the north pass by Stenay, through which they might reach Luxemburg or Thonville by way of Luxembourg or Longwy. With the progress of the battle of the Alsine realization of the critical situation has been forced simultaneously on the commanders of the rival armies, and both chiefs, Gen. Joffre, in supreme command of the allies, and Crown Prince Frederick William, on whose shoulders rests the success of the German retreat, have rushed reinforcements to the focal point at which battle is now raging. The German line, consisting originally of Gen. Von Klub's army and part of that of Gen. Von Buelow, has been reinforced by practically all of the army of invasion remaining east of the forest of Argonne, while those occupying positions between the Argonne and the Meuse are preparing a second line of deefense upon which the western division of the great army may retire if the allied advance can not be halted. Faces Serious Charge. Butte, Mont.—A suggestion to poison the drinking water of the seven hundred Montana militamen on duty in connection with miners' riots, Tues day led to the arrest of Magnar dot, a plumber's helper, on order of Provost Marshal Conley. Magnardot was taken before Judge Advocate Roote; charged with having advised fellow plumbers to place pots in water pipes. Magnardot's suggestion was spurned by his fellows, who called an officer Magnardot is held without ball. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER GZAR'S WARRIORS ARE PURSUING TOE Defeat of Austians Continues Says Report From the Russian Capital. Petrograd, Russia. — Russian troops are pursuing the Austrians with energy in Galicia, and the defeat of the enemy continues. Certain Austrian army corps virtually have been annihilated. Russian forces have passed the River San. The Russian advance guard is approaching Premysl. The rapidity with which military operations are being conducted has made it impossible to determine accurately the losses of the enemy, but it may be said they are becoming colossal. Roads Are Crowded With Artillery. According to such information as has come to hand the Austrians have lost in the neighborhood of 250,000 men in killed and wounded; this in addition to 100,000 prisoners, 400 pieces of ordnance and a number of standards. In all directions the roads are crowded with artillery, transport wagons and arms and ammunition which have been abandoned during the precipitate retreat of the enemy. On the River Vistula Russian troops have taken possession of an accumulation of material for bridge building, and they destroyed several steamships, one of which was armored. German troops made desperate efforts to save the Austrian army from utter rout. The active participation of the German army corps in the fighting has been revealed at several places along the Austrian front, as, for instance, at Tourobine. The Russians captured 36 pieces of long German artillery, in addition to some 5,000 German prisoners at this point. At other places on the front several dozen large German guns fell into the hands of the Russians. Kaiser's Initials on Trophies. Among the 400 guns taken from the Austrians by the Russians in Galicia are more than 36 heavy German cannon bearing the initials of Emperor William. These came from the regions occupied by the Sixth German corps. More than 4,500 German prisoners arrived Wednesday at Lublin, in Russian P.land. The Russian military critic Michalowski is reported as saying that Russia's victory during the last week over three Austrian armies on the line from the Vistula to the Carpathians leaves the road to Budapest, along the northern base of the Carpathians, completely open. The first period of the war on the western frontier, he adds, thus ends. Russian cavalry discovered a detachment of German reserves in the vicinity of Radom, in Russian Poland, which was going to the assistance of an Austrian detachment. After a brisk attack the Russians put the Germans to flight, taking 125 prisoners. The Russian operations in the region of Lublin and Chelm, both in Russian Poland, have been carried out with great success. BERLIN MAKES REPORT SAYS NOWHERE ALONG LINE HAVE BRITISH OR FRENCH BEEN VICTORIOUS. Berlin (by wireless via Sayville, L. I.)—The German prospects in the battle in the Marne region are still characterized in Berlin as favor- able. The general staff has authorized the announcement that nowhere along the line of battle have the British or French forces won a victory. No details of the fighting in France are given out, and it is said that no decisive turn of events seems probable for some time to come. According to documents found on Russian prisoners the remainder of the Russian army of Vilna, defeat of which was announced in Berlin, has moved southward to the Vistula river. UNITE ON ONE NOMINEE PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA COME TO AN AGREEMENT. Harrisburg, Pa.—Vance C. McCormick of Harrisburg, the Democratic nominee for governor, was nominated by the Washington (Progressive) party state committee as its candidate for governor after William Draper Lewis, nominee of the Progressives at the May primary, had formally withdrawn and made a personal plea for the selection of Mr. McCormick. Mr. McCormick appeared before the committee and accepted the nomination, declaring that the two parties were united on state issues and that national issues did not enter into the contest in Pennsylvania this year. Find Locust in Man. Hagerstown, Md.—Cutting into a lump which had formed in the shoulder of Joseph Ringer of Sandy Hook, physicians were surprised to find a fully developed 17-year locust. Ringer says he was stung by a locust in 1880 while clearing land. The pain was so great that he was rendered unconscious. In time the pain disappeared, and he thought no more of it until a lump appeared on his shoulder in 1897. After several weeks the formation disappeared, and he was not troubled with it again until recently. The GAZETTE One Year.....$1.50.

The black, yellow and brown troops are "cutting a real figure" in the great war—two in the East and one in the West. "The color line is" NOT "being drawn tighter in England", as last Saturday and Sunday's Cleveland Leader and News would have this community believe. If we want the word "Negro" capitalized generally, now that the Associated Press, The Outlook and Century Magazines, and other leading publications of the country are doing so, let us "get busy" with the International Typographical Union and the "deed will be done". GOOD! FOR THE TURKISH AM: BASSADOR! Dispatches to the daily papers of the country, from Washington, D. C., Sept. 11, gravely announced that "the Turkish envoy displeased the President" and that he was "rapidly losing favor with the democratic administration leaders", all because he reminded our government officials that the United States was "living in a glass house" when it came to the discussion of outrages. He had the temerity to call their attention to the more than three thousand Afro-Americans lynched in this country in the last twenty-five years, the "water cures" in the Philippines, etc. Tood had, can't it? Well, we hope that the Hon. A. Rustem Bey, Turkish ambassador to the U. S., will, when occasion requires, go a little more deeply into a discussion of the matter of lynching of Afro-Americans, for the edification of the Wilson administration and the entire country. Both need it, and it is sure to "put a crimin in the sails" of the "holier than thou" Americans who are ever ready to help reform every other country on the face of the globe, when few, if any, are disgraced with as much lawlessness, in which their own citizens are maimed, butchered and murdered in defiance of all law and decency and civilization, as is this great American country. WASHINGTON'S DANGEROUS "DOCTRINE" Both of our Louisville, Ky., news papers, the News and the Columbian Herald, are bitter in their criticisms of Dr. Booker T. Washington for his advice, to the delegates of the recent National Negro Business League convention, to "cease fighting segregation laws and to devote themselves to acuing wealth and intelligence". This is as it should be, of course, and every loyal member of the race, as well as every newspaper we have, should be doing the same thing. More power to the News and Herald! When Mr. Washington made that notorious Atanta speech, many years ago, in which occurred his harmful suggestion that the two races (white and Colored) could live in this country "separate as the fingers of the hand". The Gazette was the only race publication that saw the hidden danger in it, sounded the alarm and criticised him severely for making it. It was then that Mr. Washington, in his service effort to gain the endorsement of the South for his educational work, began to urge on our people his "doctrine of surrender" (of their rights) in the interest of harmony in communities where they were assailed, and at the same time laid the foundation for the segregation, and increased discrimination in many avenues of life, all over this country, but particularly in the South, that has followed. A dispatch from Philadelphia, Pa., to the daily papers of the country, under date, Sept. 12, '14, announced that "Booker T. Washington declared in a speech at last night's session of the National Negro Baptist convention" that "One big, definite piece of constructive work will go further in removing race prejudice and giving us a higher standard before the world than all the defending and explaining and 'getting back' can possibly accomplish. That is not true and Mr. Washington, and every other thoughtful person, knows it. It is however, what he thinks is a clever way of preaching his miserably cowardly and harmful "doctrine of surrender". By "defending, explaining and 'getting back'", he means fighting like true men and women for our citizen right! The race can produce a dozen "big, definite pieces of constructive work", get education, religion, money, etc., and Dr. Washington and every one else knows that "race prejudice"—segregation and other forms of racial discrimination—will NOT disappear in any appreciable degree. If we want our rights and proper treatment, we must fight for them just as every other race in the history of the world, worthy of them, has to do. It is the height of folly and positively silly for any one to preach any other "doctrine". Of course, the prejudiced South and its Northern sympathizers will "pat Dr. Washington on the back", continue to make his trips for his school, throughout the country, profitable, and to try to make our people accept him as our national leader, just as long as he continues to preach his infamous "doctrine of surrender" and endeavor to make us "ground arms" in the effort to enforce our rights, under the law; but are weools enough to do? We hope not. It is little less than an outrage for him to give that advice to the League, and make such a talk as that at Philadelphia, with our people in Louisville, Ky., and several other points in the South, and the North, too, fighting desperately against segregation and kindred evils. Dr. Washington has done more by such talks to promote disfranchisement, "jimcrow" street and road cars and segregation in the South, and dozens of kinds of racial discrimination in public places, in the North, than almost all other agencies against us combined. Nothing is so dangerous as the enemy within. It is high time that the manly, among our educated and leading men and women, were speaking out in the open and ceasing their cowardly skulking for fear of personal harm. Slowly but surely is the "doc trine of surrender" taking hold of our masses, making a cowardly, hopeless mass of humanity that are anything but the MEN and WOMEN Douglas, Langston, Lynch, Bruce, Garrison Phillips, Lovejoy, and the host of others, most of whom have gone worked and fought so long for. The following editorial from the Louisville (Ky.) Columbian Herald, like the one from the News of that city, repaired in The Gazette, last week, is worthy of a careful and thoughtful reading: How It Happened "He was severely injured in an auto accident, was he not?" "Quite severely." "Did he sue the driver of the auto?" "No, he brought suit against a girl who half a block away stopped to tie her shoe. She was the reason he did not see the auto." That Was What It Meant. "Why did you quarrel with your husband?" "He said I was positively ugly." "How did he come to use such language?" "He did not use those exact words; but he said that if I was to murder anyone I would be found guilty." Appreciation. "I gave Charley a beautiful new alarm clock for a birthday present," said young Mrs. Torkins. "Did he appreciate it?" "Yes, indeed. He thought so much of it that he took it down to his office and locked it in the safe." Electricity Cheap in Japan. Electricity is cheap in Japan and the use of the current is becoming very general.

There is a strong feeling against the major, and it is again, again. This section feels that it is entitled to the honor, and it will undoubtedly come this way, this time. LIMA.—The annual meet of the North Ohio A. M. E. conference is being held here, this week, opening Wednesday, with Bishop Shaffer presiding.

Panama—Reservists of the British West Indian Negro regiments to the number of 740, are organizing here preparatory to offering their services in the European war. At two recruiting stations opened 100 enlistments were received in a short time. Many of the reservists are former canal laborers, who are now unemployed, but are still in training. They still at work, also will offer to enlist 1900 DOINGS OF THE RACE An Afro-American ferryman recently saved the lives of three white persons whose automobile ran off Lamb's ferry barge in Elizabeth City, N. C. Arnold Trottman, who holds a medal for life-saving, from the Royal Humane Society of London, Eng., recently rescued a Scandinavian from drowning in the Yukon River.

High School, received a scholarship of $120. Mr. Welsh is married and supports a family. The unswerving loyalty of the Colored subjects of Great Britain was pledged, Sept. 1, at Cape Town, S. Africa, in resolutions that were adopted amid scenes of great enthusiasm. Doctor Abdurkarman, the Colored leader, announced that 3000 Colored civilians already had enrolled to fight in England's cause and were being put through military training. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to tour England, next year, in the war will permit him to do so, it is announced. Nolan Townsend, who saved little Emma Seale (white) from being killed by an auto truck, at Fourth and Wash.-ford's, Waterloo, Feb. 1912, was awarded $2000 by the Carnegie Hero Commission, and will leave for Tuskegee, Ala., to enter school. Misses Blanche and Theresa Nunn, own four oil wells near Sapulpa, Okla., whose output is valued at $400 per month. They also own three treestory buildings and other properties in Michigan. The veteran editor, M. W. Lewey, is no longer connected with the Florida Sentuel. E. J. Graham, Jr., a lawyer, has been elected Justice of the Peace for Clay District, Wheeling, W. Va. The Turcos, whose employment by France is so bitterly denounced in Germany, are mainly of a Semitic stock, which is more closely allied to the German Moors (Lois M.) Globe-Democrat (Repub). William Pearl Holland of LaRue, a printer, won the first prize, for efficiency in type-setting and composition, at the recent meeting of the International Union in Zanesville. Some narrow politician made an attempt to pass a bill through the Georgia legislature and for its object the preventing of white teachers from teaching in Colored schools. The bill failed, just as the bill with a similar object failed to pass the South Carolina Legislature. It is a fact that many shiftless Negroes have come North seeking a good time and freedom from the restrictions in the South. They take the freedom found here as license for all sorts of captiousness, and not only make it easier to get the job, the country in general gets the wrong impression of the race—Chicago Defender. What it takes to make the United States see itself, when it comes to its treatment of the Negro, the Turkish Ambassador Rustem Bey, has it. "The sick man of Turkey" sits up long enough to note the fact, that it is impossible for Negroes to think of plan conspiring with its enemies, and that if the so-called Christians residing in Turkey would cease doing this, their lives and property would be as safe as other citizens—Jacksonville (Fla.) Sentinel. The Elks' grand officers, recently elected at Norfolk, Va., are: T. G. Nater, exiled ruler; Secretary of War Jeremy T.

He was born in Columbus, 55 years ago. After graduating from the high school of his native city, he taught school and edited a newspaper there. He received legal authority at Howard University, Washington, D.C. Clem Page died recently in Toledo. He was for thirty-three years caretaker for the Merchants National Bank. The following paragraph, written by the bank president's son, appeared in a local paper: "It was never mine to know an honester man, either white or Colored; no one in whom the cardinal virtues of simplicity and truth were more sacred and inviolate. He was a man of the most kindly impulses, and to him no sacrilege ever too great when the warfare or pleasure of others was at stake." Our people are excluded from a certain part of the beach at Cape May, N. J. There are signs up stating that "this is private property," and while no mention of color is made on the signs, the guards do not allow our people to use this part. The mayor says that he issued the order to the company to broaden their patronage was decreasing. Our people are permitted to bathe at a less frequented part of the beach. Victoria Poindexter, an aged woman of Franklin Co. Va., who can neither read nor write, borrowed $150 from J. P. Buckner, (white), and signed, in her ignorance, a deed of bargain and sale conveying her property to him for $1000. The property was worth $2000 and the woman had to offer her the deed for $1500 for it. The court decided that the deed was valid and imposed the cost of the case on the old woman. Everybody's Magazine, for this month, announces that its first prize of $500, for the best letter on the subtitle, "The Greatest Romance," of Rum, or Run and Remedies," has been awarded to Prof. Isaac Fisher, formerly of Vicksburg, Miss, now of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the District of Columbia, the Fisher's paper on "Advertising and Selling" was selected by the committee on awards as one of the "forty-nine best on the subject," thereby giving him a winning place in the first international contest he has entered. Without mentioning a large number of contests in which he has been a winner, and in which the prizes were less than $10, Mr. Fisher, in nation-wide contests with the best brains of all races in America, has been a prize winner some 20 or more years old and has won on subject, either one of which contains original work of the quality—higher than the quality—of the theses required by American universities from candidates seeking the degree of doctor of philosophy. Ohio has five or six weekly race newspapers. Statements to the contrary are not true, regardless of the source from whence they come. Too late! is the curse of life; too late for respect; too late for love; too late for respect; too late for revenge; too late for reform; too late for success; but never too late for ruin—Seguin (Tex.) New American. Ten thousand Afro-Americans of Muskegue's total population of 35,000 people, own or control 50,000 acres of land in Muskegue County, Okla., own city real estate worth $1,500,000, and own a farm having an aggregate value of $1,000,000. The 2,000,000 Afro-Americans living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas have under their control, as owners and renters, about $200,000,000 worth of farm property and own 60,000 farms, containing 100,000 acres of fertile land, live stock, and farming implements worth $200,000,000. In the South 2.5 per cent of the Negroes in gainful occupations are engaged in the professions; in trade and transportation, 6.5 per cent; in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, 7 per cent; in service pursuits, 30 per cent; in agriculture, 53 per cent. In the North the distribution of Negroes in gainful occupations is as follows: professions, 3 per cent; agriculture, 5 per cent; the trades, 3 per cent; the business and transportation, 17 per cent; and domestic and personal service, 60 per cent.—Monroe N.

Everything now in readiness for the opening and Secretary Cook says the enrollment will test the capacity of the University. At the home of Prof. Cook on the campus, recently, several of our prominent citizens royally entertained Senor Pvert D'Lisle, a member of the Senate of the Republic of Cuba. The distinguished statesman was in this country to study the workings of Congress and the methods employed in the executive department. After a thoughtful speech on the race problem in this country and in his own, congratulated Afro-Americans on their wonderful progress under such difficult circumstances. Miss Hallie Queen, who lived in Porto Rico for three years, and who is familiar with the Spanish language, acted as interpreter. Gale P.

TAYLOR, Howell, Mich. to mention this paper 11 BASEBALL Pitcher Verney Ashley, who had a trial with the St. Louis Browns in Florida last spring and then turned his affairs over to his wife for decision, with the result that he lost a good job in a Class A league, has quit the game and is rustleting in Michigan. . . . Pitcher Elmer Manger, recently taken on by the Chicago Cubs and dropped because he seemed to have nothing, now gets a trial with the Pirates, who are in such desperate shape that they will try anything. Billy Martin, Georgetown university shortstop, who is now with the Napalenders, has stirred up a dispute, the Boston Braves claiming him. The matter will be threshed out by the national commission. Babe Danzig, who has been playing semi-pro ball around San Francisco for a couple of years since he quit the Montgomery team of the Southern league, has been signed by Sacramento as a utility man. Manager Johnny Dobbs of the New Orleans Pelicans not only says his team will win the Southern league pennant, but that it is also the best all-Southern team in the league or any other league. A Portland baseball editor says that the Cleveland club sends Pitcher Johnny Lush to Portland because he needs more experience and that the "youngster" did not cost the club much money. Manager McGraw of the Glants has signed another college pitcher. He is S. W. Royce, who, while pitching for Hamilton last spring, set the college world on fire by striking out everybody in sight. --- Red Munson, formerly a catcher with Nashville and later manager of the Bristol team in the Appalachian league, has been signed by the Cleveland American league as a coach for young pitchers. Lorenz Pezold, the youngster whose injection into the Cleveland infield fled Larry Lajoie to the bench, halls from New Orleans, and like the man he succeeds, has some French blood in his makeup. Umpires Bush, Kane and Manassra have all been released by the Federal league. They had ten-day clauses by their contracts and were let out under these clauses in order to cut down expenses. Jim Defichanty, who was put on the shelf at the opening of the season, is now able to play with the Brooklyn Feds and his return to the game means some shifts in Bradley's team. Washington has obtained a new catcher in the person of Tom Wilson of Galveston of the Texas league, and, according to Scout Kahoe, he is one of the greatest throwers in baseball. A report from Los Angeles has it that Howard Ehmke, exploded phenom of the Angels, has been offered a bonus of $1,000 and a salary of $700 a month to sign with the Feds. Three major league clubs have been bidding for Outfielder Bobby Roth of the Kansas City team, and both St. Louis clubs are said to have made offers of players and cash. Brooklyn asked waivers on Pitcher Ed Reulbach and the Cincinnati club refused to waive, Manager Herzog believing the Fraternity director still has something left in him. The trade of Jack Martin to Philadelphia for Josh Devore gave Manager Stallings just the man he wanted for his outfield and put his team in a settled condition. Umpire Monte Cross, put out of half the games played in the Federal league by ukase of Pitcher Tom Seaton, is now out of the other half with a damaged foot. Lefty George of the Cleveland A. A. team set a record for pitchers as batters in a recent game when he made five hits in as many times up. With the reduction of the Ohio State league to four clubs but two umpires were necessary and President Bob Read released Mike Jacobs. The veteran Jimmy Williams, with Minneapolis, was made an offer of an umpire's berth in the Federal league, but he declined it. Records show that the Cardinals and the Browns of St Louis lead their leagues in the doubtful honor of striking out most. Paltimore, with all its stars gone, shows signs of fading, though the team held up remarkably well for a time. Grand Rapids has traded Outfielder Tydeman to Wichita for Outfielder Bossoloni and cash to boot. William Bierhalter, ampire in many leagues, and familiarly known as "Two-Bits," has been signed by President Hellbroner for the Central league staff. Jack Dunn of Baltimore picked up another piece of money when he sold Pitcher Ensign Cottrell to the Boston Braves. Andy Coakley has made another shift of his Atlantic league team, its latest stopping place being Norwalk. Coag. S The 'Jumping' of Hal Chase to the Federal league gave Jacques Fournier his chance—and the Frenchman has made good with a vengeance. He leaped Chicago White Sox forge Chase and his hitting has been an important factor in many of Chicago's successes. Jacques is the only member of the Chicago team who is batting above the 300 mark, and he has a fine chance to finish the season among the select class of hitters. It is awful to think of what would have happened to the National league race had not the Braves lost 20 out of the first 25 games played. The present pout of the Braves has the leaders laying awake nights. Ed Kenechy apparently shook off his batting slump when he broke up a 13-inning game between the Pirates and Dodgers by clouting a homer with the bases loaded. The big fellow has started hitting again. Jersey City has given Catcher Bobby Wells his unconditional release. A year ago he was rated one of the best backs'ops in the international league, but his arm became worthless. It is not the signs on the fences that bother the Giant batters, declares Sld Mercer, in the New York Globe, but the signs the opposing catcher gives the pitcher. John Titus has slowed up a lot. He cannot throw, covers little ground, and has voted himself out of every contest in which a southpaw appears. Thanks to the heavy hitting of Kauff, Campbell and Carr particularly the Indianapolis team has a remarkable record for team batting. The St. Louis Americans have released First Baseman Charley Bold to the Lancaster club of the Tri-State league. George Burns has been closing in on Charley Herzog for the base running honors of the National league. Jack Barry never fielded better in his life, but his hitting this season has been the poorest of hfs career. SPORTING WORLD American owners who have thoroughbreds in England, France and Germany are deeply concerned over the welfare of their strings of horses. With the coming of martial law the military authorities can commander all horses, no matter if they are owned by subjects of that country or foreigners. . . . The average trapshooter will solemnly aver that there is "nothing just as good" as clay pigeon busting to be handed over the sporting counter, and then he will follow up the assertion with an array of more or less plausible evidence to back his chalm. A law of sports as immutable as "the laws of the Medes and the Persians is," they never come back." Trapshooting shows no exceptions to this rule but the reason why a trapshooter never comes back is simple—he never goes back. ... Just as soon as Czar Haughton of Cambridge heard that King Yost of Ann Arbor was mobilizing his football warriors he did likewise. War has been declared. The first battle will be fought October 16. Despite its second consecutive defeat in the varsity eight-oared race at the Poughkeepsie regatta, Corpell university athletes have closed probably their most brilliant year. The Cycle Racing association is to construct a track in Boston at a co of $40,000. When completed it will be the best in the country. The seating capacity will be 20,000. Georges Carpentier gets five cents a day for fighting in the French army, which is about the amount any fighter is worth as a day laborer. Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight, has taken up golf and is showing much proficiency. Friends of Homer Baker, New York Athletic club half-miler, are anxiously waiting for some news of his where- abouts. When last heard of he was in Germany. In honor of these warlike times the football rules have been amended to permit more roughing of the backlash. The use of an ax is forbidden. What a splendid ad it would be for a certain tea merchant if the Germans should capture the Shamrock IV. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1914 Here are sketched two favorite manifestations of the contour of white satin, with contrasting and huge flowers in black velvet In the upper model, while two shades of gray make up the hat at the right. At the right is a smart toque in magpie effects. SOMBER COLORS TO BE THE RULE No Mark of Gayety or Liveliness Permissible in the Coming Season's Styles. EFFECT OF EUROPEAN WAR Expert Recently Arrived From Paris is Authority for Statement That There Can Be Little Novelty in the Fashions to Which the World Looks. If there is any man in America who can predict what correct dress will be this winter, it is Mr. Charles Kurzman. And he says he doesn't know. "Black and white," he said, "will be the leading colors—mourning and half mourning. And sombre tete negre and navy blue will follow them. All Paris—all the Russians—all the women of Europe will wear one this year." "America will follow suit. There will be no vogue for gay colors this season. One may be doubly sure of that when one knows that the early showings, the gowns worn by the mid-mai-nades in Paris last week and week before, had already indicated that white and black were of themselves to be favorites. And now I am certain that neither here nor abroad will anything but severity and simplicity prevail. No Occasion for Elaborate Dress. "Clothes—there is no place to wear them now in France. There is no Deauville, no opera, the cafes close at 8 o'clock; there are only twenty- Here are sketched two favorite mani with contrasting and huge flower while two shades of gray make u is a smart toque in magpie effects live cabs and four taxis in all Paris. In the few establishments that remain open the girls sit and cannot sew—their usual customers are too distracted to inquire about costumes, and there are absolutely no openings. "You here can scarcely bring yourselves to imagine the utter paralysis that prevails in Paris. The silk mills of Lyons are closed—there will be no expedition of fabric or lace." I asked Mr. Kuzman whether America would, indeed, creating on its own account. He shook his head. "You don't understand," he said; "we are not prepared to go about. The models I have just brought over would, in any case, be in the van of fashion for another three months. And this year—which is like no other in the history of the business and art of clothes—early August importations will remain in authority for six months, maybe twelve. "One thing is certain. Nothing more comes to us from Paris. What creating we do in the Kurzman establishment will certainly not be startling. With disaster threatening the whole world, there will be no call for grotesque imagination or novelty in costume. What models we have will be our American inspiration. I presume we shall proceed slowly in adapting these that I have shown you to the changes in winter taste. Austerity of War. "With a situation absolutely strange, any prediction that I might make about winter styles is absurd. Almost anything might happen. And then again nothing is likely to happen. S-briety, simplicity, austerity even, will as a result of the tragedy of Europe, be reflected in American clothes. "Where our materials will come from, whether more will be imported or what American-made clothes will be used, is still in the air. We don't know. Nobody knows. Only, of course, the choice fabrics of Lyons are nowhere procurable here, and if famine makes a virtue of necessity some home-woven material may happen upon a vogue. Keep the Air Moving I have read the opinions of a score of managers or presidents of steel companies as to the best method of keeping their workmen cool, writes Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger. One has cold air blown into the rooms where the hottest work is to be done. Others have sprays of cold water playing between the men and the furnace. The manager of a mill in India wrote that the temperature there frequently rises to 120 degrees in the "In blouses crepe is still supreme. Elaborate and simple, the correct models closely adhere to the single material. "The 6 Is No Style." "For the moment there is no style. I can only repeat: these models will hold sway for a long time and changes will be initiated in mounting them, not in competing with them. 'Style, you know, isn't like other things. It does not appear. It has to be arrived at. It is noticeable that all fabrics are plain. No polka dots, little figured material or any sort, no stripes or plains or patterned brocades are in favor." Importations Are in White. In the face of all this Mr. Kurtzman went on to talk of the models he has imported from the pre-opening selection. Almost all of them are white. From them whatever models are created in the Kurtzman establishment this winter will take their cues. A model from Premet in white beige gabardine shows the long double tunic with accordion plaited godet. To the right of the center of the skirt are set close rows of buttons. The jacket is one of the few short models, and is distinguished by the accordion plaiting over the hips. The collar of the jacket is set high in the back and the lapel effect is gotten ten inches wide the turned back front. The hat worn with this costume by Mille. Forzane was from Madeleine, and simply trimmed in white ostrich, depending for its chic appeal simply on the slant at which it is worn and the trailing ostrich in back. White Broadcloth Model. A Cheruit model worn by the well-known "Canada," which Mr. Kurtzman will wear in this presentation this winter is of white broadcloth, stan blouse and edged with a fourlunch band of armure, above which on one side is a pocket. The underskirt was of accordion-plaited fae false. The bolt festations of the conitier of white satin, ers in black velvet In the upper model, up the hat at the right. At the right was of four folded box plains. A white fur hat with white peacock feather ornament rising from the center of the turban's back worn with this costume. A model from Jenny of white embroidered moussellie over charmeuse shows a tunic that comes to within two inches of the underskirt, with a charmeuse sash drawn broadly across the front and thrown scarfwise as the two loops fall behind. There is, of course, no waist line. The animating note in the costume is in the Prince Noir roses which catch either shoulder and ornament the skirt. Flowers the Sole Contrasting Note. "The flower note," says Mr. Kurzman, "will survive the season." In a period of somber mourning the relief offered by knots of flowers against white, gray and black will undoubtedly appeal. The hat worn with the Jenny model was of white handkerchief linen, trimmed only with two white pansies with dark centers. A Worth model in Mr. Kurtzman's collection is one of the few without effect of a low waist line. Made of heavy Beauvais lace embroidery, it was trimmed with fourteen rows of Kolinsky fur, giving the lines of a tunic falling to slightly above the knee and in its braided evenness suggesting a model inspired by the military. A single row of the fur gives outline and color to the bottom of the skirt and also outlines a simulated semi-bolero bodice. A stunning creation by Premet brought over by Kurtzman's shows a white charmeuse bodice and double tulle of white tulle bound in navy blue beading, and a second of navy blue tulle, also bound. The bodice attains a basque simplicity without following basque lines. The charmeuse about the hips is caught with a beaded gold and blue ornament, and a wide square collar falls from the neck in back, made of gold and blue embroidery. The sleeves are of navy blue tulle with beaded cuff pieces. shade, and yet there has been but one case of heat stroke. That man didn't wear the right kind of a hat when he went to work. An interesting thing developed was this: It is much more important to keep air moving on a hot day than simply to try to keep it cool. Explaining the Noise. "What is that noise, Bridget? Have the children come home from school?" "No, mum, that's the powder works down the street just blown oop." AFTER THE GAME OF BRIDGE Best Form of Refreshments to Be Served for the Delegation of the Guest. A cup of tea and a delicious sand- wich or two constitutes quite enough of "a bite" to tide one over until dinner time, when the bridge breaks up, and less and less do bridge hostesses feel compelled to offer elaborate lunches in the way of salads, lees and sweet cakes so late in the afternoon. Some women are afraid of spoiling the dinner, occurring soon thereafter, and other women are in mortal terror of growing fat, so the elaborate lunch is little appreciated and though every- body nibbles politely, most of the dain- ties are left on a plate. Tea and buttered muffins always offered by a certain hostess after the bridge meeting at her home, make her afternoons especially popular. Coffee and sandwiches are also relished, but sweets are better avoided, for few women really want to eat them just before dinner, and are sorry when they do, though the keen appetite of late afternoons makes sweets especially palatable. Celery stalks chilled and stuffed with cream and cheese and chopped nuts is a toothsome delicacy for aft-er-bridge serving. Coffee and thin rolled sandwiches may accompany the stuffed celery. To make rolled sandwiches, cut the bread in thin slices in the morning, having first shaved off all the crust from the loaf. Pack the slices, one on another and wrap in a wet napkin. In an hour's time have ready melted butter, a pastry brush and squares of oiled paper. Brush each slice of bread with melted butter, roll and wrap firmly in the oiled paper. Set the rolls of paper in the ice box and just before serving remove the papers. The sandwiches will retain their rolled up shape. Cooked sausage meat, put through a chopper, makes delicious filling for sandwiches. So does chopped apple and celery. Cream cheese, with chopped nuts cannot be excelled. Chopped onions and green peppers are relished by some people as a sandwich filling, but there should always be other sandwiches without the onion filling. DAMASK THE BETTER CHOICE Attractive as is Heavy Linen for Tablecloths and Napkins the Other is Preferable. Plain heavy Linen makes very attractive tablecloths and napkins. It is used in a restaurant where the furnishings are all interesting, and it is used by some fastidious housewives. In the restaurant it is quite satisfactory, for the cloth is changed, naturally, for every diner. But in the ordinary household it has this one disadvantage. It does show wrinkles and spots more quickly than a heavy figured damask does. So if there is not a fresh cloth for every meal, damask may be a better choice. But the linen is beautiful, and in any household it might be used for a special dinner set. The napkins and tablecloth may be finished with a fine embroidery stitch, or like the ordinary napkin hem, finely done by hand, or else they are hemstitched in an inch wide hem. Afternoon Tea Cakes Cream well together two heaping tablespoonfuls butter and one cupful granulated sugar. Drop in, one at a time, three unbeaten eggs, beating very hard after each is added. Mix together and then sift one-half cupful each of pastry flour and cornstarch, one-fourth tablespoonful baking powder. Add this to the first mixture, alternately, with one-half cupful milk Lastly add a scant teaspoonful pure vanilla flavoring and bake in muffin pans. When cool, ice with the following: Mix well three-fourths cupful butter with two cupfuls brown sugar and two heaping teaspoonful cinnamon. Put on top of each cake. Another decoration for the cake is whipped cream, or chocolate icing may be used. Lenox Sandwich. Blanch and shred two ounces almonds. Cook in enough butter to prevent burning until delicately browned. Mix two tablespoonfuls chopped pickles, one tablespoonful Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoonful chutney, one-fourth teaspoonful salt and a few grains cayenne. Pour over almonds and cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Mash a cream cheese and season with salt and paprika. Spread unsweetened wafer crackers with cheese mixture, sprinkle with nuts and put together in pairs. Pile on a plate covered with a doily. White bread may be used in place of wafers. White Salad One cup celery cut in small pieces, one small white cabbage cut fine, one half-cup of almonds blanched and cut fine, one half-box gelatin, soaked in a pint of hot water, one teaspoonful salt, one-half cupful of sugar. When the dissolved gelatin is cool and the juice of three lemons and all the other ingredients. Mold in a square pan, cut in squares and serve on lettuce, with French dressing. Spiced Grape Jelly Set the stemmed grapes in the oven until well heated through. The fruit should be well colored, but not ripe. Crush and strain the juice through double cheesecloth, measure and set aside a teacup of sugar for every pint of juice and add half-tea-spoonful of cinnamon and cloves. Boil the juice rapidly twenty minutes, add the sugar hot and the spices. Boll ten minutes, or until it fellies. Gelatin of Veal One pound of fillet of veal, one-half pound of crumbs, all put through the mincing machine. Mix well together, adding two beaten eggs and flavoring to taste. Also add a little good gravy. Tie in the form of a roly-poly in a cloth very tightly and boil for three hours. Turn out of the cloth and glaze when cold. This is also very good made of rump steak instead of veal. ON THE FUNNY SIDE MIGHT REPEAL HIS LEARNING Applicant Was Well Versed on Statutes of State, But Ignorant of Blackstone and Kent. In the old days, when oral examinations were still the thing, the examin board was pummeling an applicant with questions from Blackstone, Kent and other legal lights. "I didn't study anything about these fellows," complained the applicant. "What did you study?" asked one of the judges. "I studied the statutes of the state," he replied. "I studied them hard Ask me a question about them and I'll show you. That is where I got my legal knowledge."

HICKS DESERVED THE KNOCK Facetious Individual Is Told His Por and Dressed Up (i.e. Dough) After many years Hicks met Rix, a friend of his schoolboy days. Almost half a century had passed since they had gone to school together, and now each was a gray-haired father of a family. Hicks was entertaining Rix, and was showing him his household goods. He was a facetious soul who took an altogether uncalled for delight in his own somewhat feeble jokes and witticisms. "That," said he, pointing to a painting, "is a portrait of my wife's first husband." "Why," said Rix, "you never told me that your wife had been married before! He examined the picture with some interest. "Well, he looks a real dough-bad head sort of idiot, any way." "That," said Hicks, "is a portrait of myself at the age of twenty-five, sir!"
