THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 16 IN DECOR THE LAND OF THE LAND OF GERMAN TROOPS MAKE PROGRESS Kaiser's Soldiers Succeed in Driving the Allies Out of Dixmude and Town of Eloi, South of Ypres. TAKE, ALL TOLD, ABOUT 3,000 PRISONERS French and British Thought to Have Fallen Back at Places Mentioned in Reports as Part of Their Strategy. London, Eng.—Wednesday's news from the battlefront in France and Belgium hits London with a shock of surprise, so different is it from what the dispatches of the last few days had led this capital to expect. The widely heralded, triumphantly welcomed announcement of Tuesday that the German retreat from Belgium was becoming general and that it was only a question of days until the kaiser's arrival in full force is followed by the report that not only have the Germans rallied along their front, but have succeeded in driving the allies out of Dixmude and the town of Elot, south of Ypres, and have won a distinct advantage in the battle around Labasse, capturing, all told, about 3,000 of the allied soldiers and nearly a score of machine guns. The hundredth day of fighting sees the battle of the canals drawing to the close of its fourth week and from Wednesday's dispatches it is difficult to imagine longer that the Germans have suffered complete defeat in their movement against Dunkirk and Calais, inaugurated immediately after the fall of Ostend on Oct. 13. Official reports from both Paris and Berlin agree that the Germans have won successes in the last few days of fighting. That the seriousness of the situation is realized in the French capital is indicated by the release after 24 hours of the news of the fall Dixmude. It is assumed that the French war office, when apprised of its disaster to the allied arms Tuesday, held it back in the hope that Wednesday's developments would be more favorable. In this they were disappointed. Two Official Reports. "We made good progress Tuesday on the branch of the Ypres canal," says the Berlin official statement received here by wireless. "We took Dixmude by storm. We captured more than 500 prisoners and nine machine guns." "Throughout the day the enemy has continued the effort begun Tuesday, but without obtaining any further results," says the French official statement issued Wednesday. "He has attempted in vain to debouch from Dixmude upon the left bank of the Yser." Along the Belgian coast, north of Nieuport, there is a ray of hope in the news that the allies have reoccupied Lombertzyde, and this is commented on by the French official as follows: "The enemy has directed against Lombertzyde a counter attack, which we have repulsed." Reinforcements of fresh troops are believed to have been rushed to the Germans along nearly the entire front. One report is that the Germans and Austrians have effected a change of troops by which maneuver the Slav soldiers of the Austrian army have been made a far more effective fighting unit. In the eastern theater they were reported to have shown reluctance to fight the Slav troops of the Russians. In the French and Belgian campaign they are not opposed to troops with whom they have any blood ties. Bay of Hope for Allies. Ray of Hope for Allies. One ray of hope that London holds is that the allied lines have fallen back at the different places mentioned in the official reports as part of their established strategy. It has been the policy of the British, French and Belgian commanders ever since the battle was joined to retreat when the only other alternative was the useless sacrifice of life. The German policy, on the other hand, has been to pour over whelming masses of men against shell fire, rifle fire or bayonet. It is pointed out that nowhere is mention made of a piercing of the allied lines and that consequently it may be assumed that the front opposed to the German advance on Calais and Dunkirk remains as effective to check the actual advance as it ever has been. The determination of the Germans to reach these two towns on the French coast, however, appears to be as firm as ever. Wednesday's advice tell of a resumption with great ferocity of the battle around Nieuport and the River Lys. This is the first time Nieuport has been mentioned in the official reports since the cutting of the dykes flooded the surrounding country and caused the German artillery to stick fast in the mud. The German successes at Langenmark, Labasse and Armentieries indicate that they have almost restored the straight north and south line from Os- Washington, D. C. — The commander of the Turkish forces at Belut, in a formal note addressed to the American consul general and intended for the British and French governments, declares that for every Muslimman killed in the bombardment of any open and unfortified port three British or French subject will be immediately executed. The Turkish note says the commandant declined to take the responsibility for any uprising against Christians which might ensue from such a bombardment.

BRITISH VESSEL IS SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINE All the Officers and Crew of Topdeed English Warship Are Saved but Four Men Are Reported Injured. London, Eng.—The official press bureau has just announced that H. M. S. Niger was torpeded by a German submarine in the Downs and foundered. All her officers and crew were saved, but four men were injured. The Niger was a comparatively unimportant unit. In the British fleet, Classified as a torpedo gunboat, she was used with her sister ships Clirce, Hebe, Jason, Leda, Speedy and Antelope in mine sweeping and fisheries protection. She was of 810 tons register, 230 feet long and drew only 12½ feet. She carried two 4.7-inch guns and four 3-pounders and was fitted with three 18-inch torpedo tubes. The sinking of the Niger, however, marks a real invasion of the British coast by German submarines. The Downs is a section of the Kentish coast just south of the headlands that guard the entrance to the River Thames. It is a protected harbor, made so by the Goodwin Sands, and is the nearest point on the British coast line to the French port of Calais. PUSH THE GERMANS BACK RUSSIAN TROOPS SUCCESSFUL AGAINST ENEMY, ACCORDING TO PETROGRAD REPORT. Petrograd, Russia.—The headquarters staff reports that after overcoming much obstinate resistance the Russians have pushed the German's right wing back tb the Marouvian lakes in Eastern Prussia, eastwards of Neidenberg, an East Prussian town of 5,000 inhabitants. Near the station of Musahaken Russian cavalry defeated a German detachment protecting the railway, captured transports and blew up two railway bridges. A cavalry division of Germans, supported by a Jaeger battalion, were forced by Russian cavalry to retreat towards Kalish. Russian troops have gotten as far as Miekhoff on the road to Cracow. In Galicia the Russians are crossing the Vislok tributary. HEIR IS FINALLY FOUND HEIR IS FINALLY FOUND SOUTHERN MAN IS LOCATED IN OHIO AFTER A SEARCH OF MORE THAN A YEAR. Mansfield, O.—Just a few hours before an attorney from Union, S. C., had arrived here, Roland Coleman, formerly of Jonesville, S. C., for whom a nation wide search had been conducted more than a year, left for Columbus, where he was located, and will receive his share in a $10,000 estate. Search for Coleman was instigated by a desire to protect his interests in the estate of his father, Robert Coleman, an aged farmer, who was shot and killed in February, 1913. tend to Lille by way of Ypres. The first notable break in this line came when the allies drove a portion of the German army as far east as Roulers, Langemark is north and east of Ypres but considerably west of Roulers, from which it is inferred that this detachment of the enemy's forces is meeting with some success in fighting to regain lost ground. Put to Death as Soy. London, England—Karl Hans Lody was executed, shot by a firing squared, in a courtyard of the tower of London at dawn. D乳房, alias Charles A. Inglis, who although a German citizen, had masqueraded as an American, was convicted as a German spy by a court-martial. The court-martial, the first held in England since the war with Napoleon, was held in Middlesex guild hall. It was presided over by Lord Cheylssmore, a retired major general in the army, who married Miss Elizabeth French, an American girl. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOV. 14 194. REPORTS SHOW PROGRESS. Nineteenth Annual Meeting Held In the Union Baptist Church Most Successful and Harmonious In Its History—Large Sum Raised For Missions and Education. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.-The nineteenth annual meeting of the New York colored Baptist state convention and the thirteenth annual meeting of the women's missionary auxiliary to the convention were held in this city at the Union Baptist church, the Rev. Dr. George H. Sims, pastor, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2. The sessions were largely attended and a spirit of harmony and a desire to advance the work of the denomination throughout the jurisdiction of the convention were notable features at every session. The churches in Kings, Queens, New York and Westchester counties sent large delegations, whose reports showed commendable progress in membership and finance as well as the amounts given for home and foreign missions and education. The showing made by the smaller churches was also encouraging in that many which only existed as missions a few years ago have become full fledged members of the convention and have in the majority of cases well qualified ministers as pastors. The number of churches represented last year was sixty four, and the number this year is much larger. The PRESIDENT GEORGE H. SIMS. amount turned in the first two days of the convention for home and foreign missions and education was over $600. The sessions were presided over by the Rev. Dr. George H. Sims, president, who held the large delegation down to business from the opening to the close of the convention. After the enrollment of delegates and appointment of the various committees President Sims delivered his annual address, which showed that he had a splendid grasp of the work and had kept in touch with the churches and missionary societies the year round. The address of welcome on behalf of the city was made by Mayor John Purry Mitchel's secretary, who bore the greetings of that official to the convention. The response was made by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn. Dr. Moss made a notable speech. In less than twenty minutes he gave in substance the working of the entire city government, its finance, population both white and colored and emphasized the achievements and aspiration of the colored people as property owners and tenants, their efforts in education and their progress in religious culture. Dr. Moss' address was the topic of the convention for several hours after its delivery, for he was more than equal to the occasion. The delegation of visitors from the New Jersey Baptist state convention was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn, pastor of the Bethany Baptist church at Newark. Dr. Wynn made the address in behalf of his constituents in his usual forceful and witty manner which kept the delegates in an uprout of laughter most of the time. The delegation consisted of a dozen ministers, Professor R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va., and Professor Page N. Beverly of the Alpha institute at Newark. N. J. delivered addresses on education representing in the main the work of their schools, which are solely supported by the Baptist denomination. The introductory sermon was preached by the Rev. W. J. Lucas, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Flushing, N. Y. Other speakers on the program for special sermons or addresses were the Rev. Moses Taylor, W. A. Campbell, W. P. Hayes, E. W. Walnwright, Charles Sears, A. E. Robinson, L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign board at Philadelphia; A. Clayton Powell and H. L. Jones. The Rev. George H. Sims, able president of the convention and pastor of the Union Baptist "Knath" for the past sixteen years, w. born in Cumberland county, Va., in 1711. He received his early education in the public schools of his native home. He was converted at eleven years of age and was baptized by the Rev. John White, who was at the time pastor of the Tarwallet Baptist church. He was licensed to preach in April, 1815, and was ordained to the gospel ministry at Nyack, N. Y., Aug. 23, 1895. Dr. Sims' labors at the Union Baptist church have been highly successful. Two splendid meeting houses have been erected by his direction since he reorganized the work in 1899. The first building, which is now used as a kindergarten and mother's day nursery, was erected at a cost of $13,000, and the present church silence at a cost of $52,000. The kindergarten is in charge of a principal and two regular teachers, with an enrollment of fifty children. The membership of the church July 1, 1901, was ninety-two. The present membership is 2,500. The two buildings are valued at $100,000. As an organizer, financier and leader the Rev. Mr. Sims is recognized by the Baptist denomination in this section as among the most successful. He is not only interested in the religious features of race work, but is active in many other movements for the educational and material advancement of our people. The Sunday school of the Union Baptist church has an enrollment of 614 scholars and is possibly the largest in this respect of any school in Greater New York among the Baptists. W. H. Robinson is superintendent, and he shows much ability in his work. There are twenty-six classes and thirty-two teachers, with an average attendance of about 300 and an average collection of $22 per Sunday. So much pleased was the convention at the able management of the work during the past year by Dr. Sims that it unanimously reedited him for the ensuing year. The other officers are: First vice president, Rev. L. E. Kelser, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church at Tarrytown. N. Y.; second vice president, Rev. C. S. Fairliness, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, Goughkeepsle. N. Y.; recording secretary, Rev. J. E. Robinson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Sheepshead Bay. N. Y.; corresponding secretary, Rev. T. J. King, pastor of the Messiah Baptist church, Yonkers. N. Y.; treasurer, Rev. Granville Hunt, Mount Nervon. N. Y. PROGRESS IN ATHLETICS. Four Titles Won by Colored Boys at Recent Championship Meets Recent Championship Meetings. New York.-Recent performances of colored athletes in the metropolitan district of the Amateur Athletic union have attracted widespread attention, and should a corresponding progress be made by them in the next three or four years many laurels now worn by white athletes will pass into the keeping of Negroes, says the New York Times. This success has been more noticeable this fall than at any other time, and the facts that four titles were won by colored athletes at the recent small clubs championships, and Negroes were prominent in the point table of the metropolitan title meet, have caused a futter of excitement among the registered athletes in the Amateur Athletic union. Nor is the present crop of Negro runners likely to cease suddenly, for there are many promising colored boys in the public schools of Greater New York. Up to the present the colored athlete has devoted his attention to track events, especially in the sprints and middle distances, but with the growth of colored athletic clubs capable trainers will be secured and with systematic development in long distance events will be certain to bring out long distance runners and candidates for field honors. From the days of William Morris of Pennsylvania, who was one of the best milers in college ranks twenty years ago, up to the present time a number of the best athletes in the A. A. U. ranks have been representatives of the colored race. John B. Tayler of Pennsylvania was the greatest quarter miler in his day. Cable, the colored weight thrower at Harvard, enjoyed a national reputation. Howard Drew, formerly of Springfield High school, now a student at the University of Southern California, is regarded as probably the equal of Applegarth of England. Dismond, formerly of the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn, is one of the best quarter milers in Western college athletic ranks, while many others of lesser note have earned prominence by their speed on the eider path. Due to the efforts of the late James E. Suillman, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U., there has been a great revival of athletic interest in the southern schools, and with those in the east the struggle for athletic supremacy in a few years may be between white and colored men. Many of the colored athletes prominent in athletic circles were graduated from public schools in Greater New York, but unlike former years, when promising colored athletes received little consideration or encouragement, the student upon graduation can now join a colored athletic organization. There are three Negro athletic clubs in the metropolitan district, which are making rapid strides in the athletic world, and scarcely an open meet is now held that does not find representatives of these clubs in the list of competitors. These organizations are the Salem Crescent Athletic club and St Christopher's club of New York and the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn. One of the most important indoor athletic meets of the winter season is held under the auspices of the Smart Set Athletic club, which is a growing and important organization. --- DEFENDS RIGHTS OF HIS PEOPLE DR. A. J. CAREY TO THE FORE Widely Known Preacher and Champion of Legal and Equal Opportunities For Afro-Americans Questions Sincerity of Christian Body In His Home Town. Institution Faces Serious Situation. Chicago.—The Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church in this city, sent the following open letter to Mr. L. Wilber Messer, secretary of the Central Young Men's Christian Association, in reference to the association's attitude toward the branch of the association composed of colored men. Dr. Carey's letter: Chicago, October, 1914 Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, Secretary, Cen- vity M. M. My Dear Sir—I have been greatly interested in the controversy about the Y. M. C. A. ban on smoking, and my interest was intensified when I read in your signature the statement that "the test" of membership in the Young Men's Christian association is good moral character. It is a surprising statement in view of what I have been told by young men of unimpeachable character that they have been refused membership in the Y. M. C. A. simply on the basis of their behavior, being told in the establishment in various parts of the country, including our own city of Chicago, of branch Y. M. C. A.'s for the purpose of providing for men of darker hue and preparing them for the life of being as if they were lepers and unfit to mingle with Caucasians, Indians, Mongolians and Malays, who are gladly received. I have also heard that any human being who is the member of any branch Y. M. C. A. has certain rights and is cordially received at the central organization unless he happens to have more or less money. I have been informed regarding conditions I desire to set right, and I also trust you will kindly answer the questions I shall ask. If a German, I mean an alien, who has been treated with respect as a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. would be permitted to do so or would he be compelled to connect himself with the German-brand regardless of his If a colored man living in the downtown district desired to become a member of the Central church could he be authorized by the authorities to him to waste an hour to go four miles to the colored branch on Wabash avenue and Thirty-eighth street? Are the rights of the colored man considered as a colored branch, Y. M. C. A., identical with those of members of other branches? Are they as cordially received at the Central building on Lassale street and treated with the same consideration as the colored branch of the Central Y. M. C. A. organized for Indian, Mongolian and Malay races? Are not branches organized for the various European nationalities chiefly on account of the coloration of the man? Was it necessary to provide a separate building for colored men, of whom 99 per cent are American born and who speak the English language? Admitting that the colored men really like the separate organization on Wabash avenue is a power for good, that it is better to have such a branch than not to be admitted at all and that many colored men are glad to meet and interact with the colored man, not a fundamental fact that clause caused the organization of the branch, and is it not un-Christian (if it is done) to bar the few colored men who may find it convenient to live near the separate Y. M. C. A. or branches located nearer their residences than the colored branches? I read with great interest the letters you sent back to the Chicago pa- tition and in the third letter, published on March 31, 1914, you give a summary of your impressions and conviction of your study and travel in India and you speak of "caste," which is described as the social status of the human institutions." You say that the Christian church has 3,000,000 converts in India and that its mission is to break down caste, and you say the people read the Bible and the gospel of Christian brotherhood. If caste is a "dissatrous and blighting institution" in India and one which the Y. M. C. A. is trying to break up, why does the country hold the solid and moral system of caste in the United States? In spite of the fact that many colored people favor separate Y. M. C. A.'s and contribute to their support, does not such separation eventually work to the injury of the Afro-American people? In spite of the fact that the separation, and is not the existence of a separate branch for a class of people who were born in America and speak the language of the country a discredit to democracy, and ought not to be separated from it, the Afro-American Christianity? Is it not a fact that the existence of a color line in the Y. M. C. A. is often used as a justification for segregation in public places and public institutions? Is it injustice in every relation of life, to residential segregation, to disfranchisement and the denial of every civil right? Does it not tend to make the Afro-Americans a parish class shunned and despised by all other races? Now, if we want to understand the purpose of the Afro-American people, is it possible that the Y. M. C. A. in America seeks to encourage the perpetuation of that "most disastrous and blighting institution"-caste? The A. M. E. church of which I am a member is organized because the Caucasian immigrant causes the Caucasian Christians (?) of a hundred years ago discriminated against their colored corollists our church came into being, but we do not know why we are not the people of any race or nationality. The white man, the black man, the red man, the yellow man and the brown man are all welcomed, and it may surprise you that the black man, the white man, the slans, both men and women, are members of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I am seeking the light and the truth. Please answer my questions carefully and if you cannot, please desire it to be corrected. Yours sincerely. A. J. CAREY.

MURDERER SCARES HIMSELF TO DEATH Man Who Chopped Wife to Pieces Thinks Over and Over Penalty of Crime and Escapes Electric Chair. Trenton, N. J.—Angelo Cercello is dead. This fact is important only as a matter of psychology and physiology, for Angelo would not have been alive, in any event, after 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. But psychologically and physiologically Angelo assumes considerable importance in the roll of a man who was actually scared to death. What Angelo was afraid of was a knock on his door—in his cell door—for Angelo was a word of the state of New Jersey in the penitentiary here. That knock would have announced to him the entry of a man in a black suit, accompanied by a priest, who would have started him. He was afraid to wait for the words that the priest who accompanied the man in black would have begun to murmur as he took up his short march. Just Thinks and Thinks. Just thinks and thinks. For at the other end of the little journey he knew he would have found a chair. Something like an arm chair it would have been, but there would have been some dangling straps around one leg and more dangling straps around a head piece, something like the head rest of a barber's chair, but different, somehow. And Angelo knew that when he and the man in black—and the priest—had made that brief march, the man in black would help him into that chair and would slit one leg of his trousers and buckle the dangling straps on the chair base around his bared leg and would fasten the other dangling straps, on the headpiece, around his forehead. And he knew that would be the last thing he ever would know, for he knew that soon after the straps were fastened a man he hadn't even seen would push a little button and that would be the last of Angelo Cercelli. So he just thought about it, and thought about it and finally, Tuesday night, he scared himself to death. Perhaps, if there is anything in this theory of ghosts coming back to haunt persons who have been cruel to them in life, the fatal fright may have been hastened by the pale wrath of a woman who once was Angelo's wife. For the chair was waiting for him because, some time ago, he fell on Mrs. Angelo and chopped her to pieces with an ax. WOULD SAVETOWN PUMP OHIO VILLAGERS RAISE A STORM OF PROTEST AS DRINKING FOUNTAIN IS PLANNED. Massillon, O.—After over 100 years' continuous service, the town pump on the square in Navarre, a village five miles south of here, has been removed to make way for an ornamental iron drinking fountain to be supplied by the municipal water system. Patrons of the old well have raised a storm of protest. They declare the village water is unfit to drink, but that the old well gave a supply cool and pure. Rochester square merchants are planning to establish a rival fountain. The fountain craze started in Navarre recently when farmers who went to market complained they were forced to pump water for their horses and automobile radiators. Wringer Co. Man Fined Wringer Co. Men Fined. Pittsburgh - The American Wringer Co. of Woonsocket, R. I., and the Lovell Manufacturing Co. of Erie Pa., with George H. Chance of New York and Charles S. Meacham of Erie sales managers of the companies, entered pleas of guilty in the United States circuit court here to violation of the Sherman anti-trust cat. Judge Charles P. Orr sentenced each company to pay a fine of $2,500 and each sales manager to pay $500. The government charged that the companies mutually agreed on prices. THE UNION FIGHTS TUMOR AND CANCER WITH RAYS Distinguished Medical Investigator Reports Some Remarkable New Cures of Disease Thru Use of Radium. CAUSES DANGEROUS GROWTHS TO VANISH Tells of Ten Cases Where Certain Type of Destructive Tumor Was Quickly Cured by Radium Treatment. New York City.—Dr. Robert Abbe, pioneer with Dr. Howard Kelley of Baltimore in the field of radium treatment, reports some remarkable new cures through the use of radium. He strongly asserts in a paper recently prepared that destructive tumors and malignant cancer of the breast and epithelial cancers of the face can be cured by the marvelous rays and avers that even in advanced stages the growth of cancer can be retarded, and one-third, in time, added to the expectation of life. Dr Abbe gives specific instances to prove his assertion. Speaking of cancer of the breast, he says that in six cases where surgeons would advise summary amputation he used radium to cause the quick disappearance of the dangerous growth. Thereafter he says the health of the patients was unimpaired. Tests Radium Rays Successfully. He declares that he has not hesitated to test the radium rays upon apparently hopeless cases of cancer where was absolutely no chance of a successful operation. In 10 percent of these advanced cases he asserts the disease has been arrested and life of the patients prolonged. Dr. Abbe states that he has treated half a hundred goiters of all varieties by radium alone and that he has seen complete disappearance in a few and checked the growth in many. The distinguished medical investigator speaks hopefully of the efficaciousness of the use of radium in cases of advanced cancer of the tongue. Even when operations have been resorted to, he points out, the disease is almost sure to renew its malignant attack. He was impressed by the temporary improvement in a great many cases of this description and finally decided to adopt combined extirpation, followed by the use of radium. In cases where the half tongue was first removed Dr. Abbe finds that the use of radium has apparently checked the recurrence of the disease. He makes no positive assertions on this point as yet, stating with a degree of conservatism that it will require years to speak of cures. Radium rays, declares Dr. Abbe, have conquered epithelial cancers of the face and have dissipated malignant tumors. Instances One Patient He instances one patient, part of whose lower jaw was destroyed by a "pure myeloid tumor in which the teeth were set as if in jelly." Radium rapidly reduced the mass until gritty bone began to form and the jaw began to reassume its normal shape and structure. The teeth once more became solidly imbedded and the jaw has remained normal and it seems probable will continue so. Ten cases, Dr. Abbe testifies, have proved that this type of destructive tumor can be uniformly and quickly cured by radium treatment. Another instance he brings forward was of a man on whose lower eyelid grew a tumor which in a year occupied more than half its breadth, pushed the lid from the eyeball and grew upward from the lid and downward on the cheek. Twenty treatments by Roentgen rays proved of no benefit. After four hours of radium treatment, however, it melted away day by day and was gone in eight weeks. In this case, Dr. Abbe declares, trained medical men are unable to pick out the lid upon which the tumor grew. JUDGE'S DECISION, IF UPHELD, WILL AFFECT EVERY LIGHT- ING CONCERN IN OHIO, Cincinnati, O.—A decision, which, if upheld, will affect vitally every gas and electric lighting company in the state, was handed down by Common Pleas Judge Frank Gorman in which he holds that no company can have an exclusive municipal franchise for commercial lighting or heating purposes. The case was an injunction proceed- ing brought by the Union Gas & Elec- tric Co. against the Diamond Lighting Co. which is a private concern, while the Union company furnishes street lighting and gas to the city. Alleges III Treatment. Marietta, O.—Miss Ethel Sweeney, daughter of a wealthy oil operator and a co-ed in Marietta college, is under a physician's care. Miss Sweeney's injuries are due to a severe beating and other indignities heaped upon her by sister co-eds during her initiation into a society of the college a few days ago. The young woman alleges that she was told to go to a temperance meeting in the tabernacle and shout the word "booze" in the speaker's face. When she refused she received severe treatment.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1914. A most pathetic case indeed is that noted in our Philadelphia letter, elsewhere in this paper. Mrs. Montague and her husband certainly loved each other. Something, apparently pretty generally overlooked, is the fact that Sam Langford became champion heavy-weight pupil of America when he whipped "Gunboat" Smith, the best of the "white hopes", recently. Jack Johnson is still the world's champion however. Neither the Progressives nor the Socialist parties will be permitted to nominate their candidates in the primaries at the next election in Ohio, because they did not poll ten per cent of the total vote cast for governor at the recent election. "Good night", and goodbye to the alleged Progressive party in this state; and no regrets. Even the Southern newspapers have been forced to praise our soldiers on duty on the Mexican border, characterizing their "behavior, courage, discipline, patience, restraint, kindness, and the common sense and moderation with which they use their authority" as "not only commendable but REMARKABLE"! "Twas, ever thus—even at Brownsville, Tex, when "The Black Battailon" was there. If you know of any one who, for a single moment, doubted the wisdom of the fight, led and successfully, too, by the editor of The Gazette, two years ago to kill that miserable anti-intermarriage bill introduced in the Ohio Legislature by a democratic member from Hamilton (Cincinnati) county, just call his or her attention to the Los Angeles, Cal., letter in this issue of The Gazette. That will be enough. The Progressive party appears to be going to the demission bowwows by the excessive confusion of its own sound and fury. High above the confusion towers the shattered hopes and cracked sound of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. When a man kills his creator, as Col. Roosevelt did the Republican party, he makes his own funeral at the same time—Washington (D. C.) Sun. Col. Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt did not "kill the Republican party"; as the recent election proved beyond all question or doubt. He only defeated it, elected Wilson, president, and made Congress democratic. That is more than enough, it is true, and quite enough to secure a bigger man than he is, or ever will be, a first-class political funeral. Editor T. Thomas Fortune of the Washington (D. C.) Sun, says in a recent issue of his paper: Rather, therefore, than discuss the editorial discussion of our position on Dr. Washington's alleged endorsement of "race segregation," in his Muscogee address, which the veteran editor, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, in dissenting from the position of The Sun, elaborately discusses, we simply direct his attention to the nature of the moment of his own case, as printed in the last issue of The Washington Sun. "**" The editor of The Cleveland Gazette should have a better understanding of the situation than he has after he has read and digested what Dr. Washington has to say about it. There are many people, however, who do not desire a better situation than the current situation. Editor Smith is too old and good looking to be rated as of such people. Thanks for the very generous and complimentary references, confrence. We have read, and carefully, too all that Dr. Booker T. W. Washington ton has said and the daily news papers' charge that he endorsed "race segregation", and find that he did that very thing. Indirectly, it is true, but direct enough to make it very harmful indeed to our people in many places in this prejudiced country, can't it a bit strange that Mr. Washington has never made any effort to have the Associated Press and the daily newspapers of the country recall the charge? And many weeks have passed, too, since their publication of it. After several months wait, he comes forward with a letter to a member of the race which is intended only for the race press and which falls far short of refuting the daily newspaper charge. It is too, far more of a confession than a denial. SOME REAL MEN. More power to the board of directors of the Providence, R. I., Y. M. C. A. and their kind. On Oct. 25, '14, they issued the following statement at the conclusion of an exceptionally interesting meeting. "The Providence Young Men's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young men and boys of our city in a broad and liberal spirit, making no distinction in receiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that the only test of eligibility must continue to be as it always has been, character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the highest ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any change in the principles which have heretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership." This action was taken by the directors because of objections from prejudiced persons to the admission of Colored men to membership in the organization and particularly in the many advantages offered by the new building. As soon as it became known that objection had been offered, the matter was taken up by different Colored organizations of Providence and others interested, and the directors were urged to take action. Rev. S. W. Smith, a resident of Providence, writing to the Boston Guardiaan, last week, said: "This was one of the times when the Colored people were united in an effort and they should be given much credit for their united stand. They are very jubilant over the victory. "The fight was led by Rev. J. H. Wiley and Rev. S. W. Smith for the New England Suffrage League, and Mr. J. C. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and Dr. Robinson for the N. A. A. C. P. branch. We have already renewed our membership and hope to help of the Guardian will read the letter from the pen of M. E. L. Singsen, a white man, to the Providence Sunday Journal and see if you think that all our friends are dead. We wish to say to those who live in towns and cities where segregation is proposed, fight it with all your might and if you need any points we will gladly give you the information here. "And we demand Mr. Hawkins nation. It seems to us that if M. C. A. Secretary Hawkins could read between the lines he would send in his resignation and not wait until it was asked for. We hope that he will remember that he is in Providence and not in the south; nor Southwest. Now he will be in the north; Mr. Hawkins an explanation of his action which has caused us to be held up to the ridicule of the world." Cleveland Afro-Americans have a similar Y. M. C. A. condition on their hands—just like the one just wiped out in a proper way at Providence. The same success can be attained here if our Ministers' Alliance, N. A. A. C. P. branch, Cleveland Association of Colored Men and kindred local or organizations would but get together and work, through Judge Henry, a Christian gentleman and friend of the race and a leading member of the board of directors of the local Y. M. C. A which still has a few Afro-Americans members. Will they do it? We shall see. AN INSPECTOR WHO NEEDS IN SPECTION. The national white slave law, according to Government Inspector Menefe, does not embrace Negro women. This statement was made to Detective Chief Love by the Inspector, Tuesday, when he was called in to investigate the case of Anna Randolph, 22, Colored, of Louisville who charged that she was brought to Cincinnati by an officer. A writer a pretext of being given employment The King woman denies her story. Cincinnati (O.) Daily Times-Star. Here is a case for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—if the Times-Star has quoted Government Inspector Menefe, correctly. That he is wrong is proven by the fact that a woman of the race, here in Cleveland last year, invoked, and successfully too, the aid of the Mann "White Slave" act, as it is commonly known. Inspector Menefe should be inspected and Editor W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union and other race-leaders in that city, should see that it is done, and soon, too. The Gazette has watched our conferee of the Union's long fight for the retention of mixed schools, and against separate schools and other forms of segregation in Cincinnati, with the sincerest admiration, and cannot find words with which to praise him as we would like to. More power to you, Friend Dahney. Some day, we hope more of our people in the former "Queen City of the West" will appreciate your splendid efforts in their behalf. Fight on, dear friend. May full success crown your efforts, is our prayer. BOOKER T'S CONFESSION. Relative to the charge that he directly or indirectly endorsed segregation in a speech to the National Business League, of which he is president at its annual meeting, some weeks ago in Muskogee, Okla., Dr. Booker T. Washington says in a letter, to a Mr. C. E. Winston of St. Louis, under date Oct. 2, '14, and recently given to the public; "What I did attempt to say in Muskogee, and what I have attempted on numerous occasions to say when speaking in public, was to urge our people not to become discouraged or disheartened in communities where they are segregated, but not with standing such segregation, to go forwards and to overcome evil with good; to make so much progress in the beauty, comfort and convenience of their surroundings that those who have treated them unjustly will be made to blush with shame because of the progress that the Colored people are making. In a word, I try to impress upon our people the idea that they should keep a cheerful heart and a strong will and be able to overcome adversity, mainly on the defensive side of life, but to make such progress that the world will admire the rapid strides with which they are going forward." It will be seen in the foregoing that Mr. Washington does not say FIGHT segregation in the courts, the proper place, but "begs the question" by telling our people to do something else which would not be effective in the South or anywhere else, and be and everyone else knows this. Thus does he give quasil endorsement to segregation. With prejudiced whites contin- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1914 nally attacking our rights as citizens, if we are manly men, how in the name of all that is good and holy, are we to be otherwise than "on the defensive side of life" if we make any effort—even the one he suggests—to protect and retain them, and regain those lost? The man ought to be ashamed of himself for giving such "doctrine of surrender" advice, and if he is not, it is our duty to make him so and to compel him to discontinue such perniciously harmful talk. It is enough to make Garrison, Phillips, Douglass and Langston turn over in their graves. Whoever heard of a people whose rights and privileges were assailed (and taken from them) as our are in this country, "overcoming" such "injustice through evidences of progress; by progressive constructive work," and by an "appeal to every white man whose good will" and influence is worth having? We have been doing this ever since the close of the war of the rebellion, and what is the result? Loss of rights, privileges etc., until we are now, backed up in the corner with our backs to the wall" where we must fight, fight, FIGHT in the courts, and to the "very last ditch", or be deprived "of all the prejudiced South, and its Northern allies, would have us lose. Then would come upon us the terrible condition of the Russian serf and the masses of the Jews in that country 'WE BEAT 'EM'! "We beat 'em", said an intelligent Afro-American to the writer in a street-car, the other day. He had reference to the Ohio Woman Suffrage amendment, defeated at the recent election, and when he used the word, "we", he meant the anti-woman suffrage voters of all classes. Considering the fact that the woman suffrage amendment, if endorsed at the recent election, would not only have given women the privilege of voting in Ohio—by eliminating the word "male" from Article V, Section 1, of the state constitution—but also would have given Afro-Americans of Ohio the LEGAL right, or rather privilege, of voting in STATE elections—by eliminating also the word "white" (before the word "male") from the same section of the state constitution—one can readily realize how we felt when the brother, with a satisfied smile, quietly and yet boastingly said "We beat 'em". Yes, "We beat 'em", also, when Senator Foraker was a candidate for renomination, at the primary, some weeks ago, by so few Ohio Afro-Americans voting when every one able to do so, in the state, should have fought his way to the polls, if necessary, to cast his vote for our great and good friend. Yes, "We beat 'em" right here in Cleveland, at the same primary election, when we failed to nominate three Afro-American candidates for the Ohio Legislature—a glorious opportunity—by not voting in anything like the numbers we should have. And too, many of our Cleveland and Ohio voters of today are from Southern states where they were not permitted to vote by disfranchisement "laws". Yes. "We beat em"! It is beginning to look as if we are doing that in about everything, especially when one remembers the "ground" lost, in all parts of the country, in politics, citizen rights, privileges, etc., in the last ten or fifteen years. Yes, INDEED. "We beat em"! BUCKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE: SPONDENTS.

Washington—What The Latter teaches—His "Docrine of Surrender". Louisville, Ky.—The following is part of an editorial from our leading local publication, the Louisville (Ky). Weekly News, and is self-explanatory; "In the matter of the Muskogee speech the criticism in this paper was predicated on the supposition that the quotation made by the Associated Press, which is very friendly to Dr. Washington, was true. If he denies it, there's the end of that matter. But The News has said other things of Dr. Washington, brought out, it is true by the Muskogee speech, but not those who are speaking and among these are: Dr. Washington is a white-man-made leader of the black race; the general tone and inflection of Dr. Washington's speeches have tended to teach the black man submissiveness, have tended to teach him that "rights" are small matters, have tended to teach him that agitation is harmful, have tended to make him believe that money will procure for him what it has taken blood to procure for other races. Whether this was the intention of Dr. Washington or not, it is a fact that many men have been influenced that way by his speeches. For these reasons and for the paper must be counted as anti-Washington. And yet it always means to be just and fair, granting that Dr. Washington is a great educator, a great American even, but denying that he is the leader of the Colored people." KILLS HERSELF! For Love of Her White Husband— Wins $5,000—A $50,000 Catholic Church—Left $1,000 Each— Tuskegee Gets $500. Philadelphia, Pa.—Tuesday evening week Mrs. Elizabeth Montague, a hand- some mulatto, 25 years of age, com- mitted suicide in her yard. 4310 Wood- land Ave., by blowing out her brains with a revolver placed against her temple. Her husband, H. A. Montague (white), had gone to see about making arrangements to move back South. Mr. he returned he found her dead. Mr. he carried a child, and said he did not know what to do, but he was a stranger here. The Montague were planning to return to Richmond. Mrs. Montague told one of the neighbors that they were going to return, and said: "My husband is very good to me. He gives me everything I want, I asked him to open a store, and just as it was finished I changed my mind and had him sell it. Then I wanted to come forth, and no came at a loss. I went back home, and I wanted to back down South, where my mother is, and we will leave here tomorrow." The woman really acted as though she were mentally unbalanced. According to the note left, she was dependent. Her body was sent to Richmond for burial. The neighbors say Mrs. Montague was well educated and died. The will of Charles M. Morton, who died, recently, contains a bequest of $500 for Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial School. The Church of St. Catherine of Sienna, Penn and King Sts., erected at a cost of $50,000 for the use of Afro-American Catholics, as a memorial to the late Archbishop Ryan, was dedicated recently, by Archbishop Prendergast. A verdict of $5000, the first of its kind ever recorded in the local courts, has recently been awarded Camillus Howard, a member of the race, in Common Pleas Court, in a suit against the city to recover damages for the loss of his right leg. Howard charged his misfortune to a careless and negligent vaccination by a municipal physician. Harry Johnson, Jacob Parvis and Robert Montgomery, Afro-Americans, who were employed by the late Francis T. S. Darley, 510 South Broad St., are each $1,000 better off, as the will of their late employer provides that they be paid that amount from [the Darley Estate. The Home for Aged Infirm.

Washington, in a letter to the Negro people, makes these timely suggestions: "There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned. I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. "As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a pig club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches and societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, etc. "The average pig is valued at about five dollars. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the press prices for hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would be in a few months $20 more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war." The "pig club" idea is one that the Negroes of the South should embrace. At this time all farmers of the South are discussing the problem which an enforced reduction of the cotton area has precipitated, and it is generally agreed that hogs and the feed crops necessary to maintain them will be the most profitable substitute for cotton. There is no doubt that the white farmers will as far as possible pay more attention to hogs hereafter than they ever have before, and the Negro farmers are just as much interested in the hog question as others. The Negro farmers have made much progress during the past quarter of a century, but they have usually suffered from the same causes which have impoverished the white farmers, the chief of which is the failure to raise on this farm what is consumed at the farm table. Out of the present dilemma the South ought to emerge the greatest meat-producing region of the world, and this objective will certainly be reached if the 1,400,000 Negro-families take Washington's advice and organize pcl clubs in every village and farm community. The South will have all her agricultural problems pretty well settled when the southern farmers "live at home." It will be the most prosperous region of the United States, and we shall soon see the end of the tenant system, the credit system and all the old systems which have kept so many thousands impoverished—Houston Post. Mrs. C. J. Walker, one of the most prosperous colored business citizens of Indianapolis and one of the most successful colored women of America, is founding an industrial school in West Pondland, South Africa. The school is modeled after the Tuskegee institute, and has the indorsement of Booker T. Washington. She is also maintaining at Tuskegee institute scholarships, three boys and two girls, with the hope that they will go to Africa to engage in educational work. She was left an orphan at the age of seven, and has won her own way in the world. She is the only colored woman in the world to give $1,000 to Y. M. C. A. work. The number of Negroes in the United States proper in 1910 was 9,827,763, compared with 8,833,994 in 1900, or an increase of 993,769, a preliminary report of the census bureau announced. In 1910 Negroes formed 20.7 per cent of the total population, as against 11.6 per cent in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2, compared with 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.1 per cent among the foreign-born whites. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no Negroes, and there were 53 counties in 1910, as against 55 counties in 1900, in which 75 per cent of the population was Negro. Of the total number of Negroes ten years of age and over, 2,227,731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate. The percentage of illiteracy decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 30.4 in 1910. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes was $1,144,181,000, as against $499,941,000 in 1910. The death rate among them in the registration area was 25.5 for 1,000, as against 29.4 in 1900. Boats equipped with gasoline engines are used a great deal in Paraguay for carrying fruit down the river. Government officials have estimated that 1,350,000 horsepower in the form of gas alone is wasted every day by the old-fashioned coke ovens of the United States. A Norwegian scientist has advanced the theory that Saturn's rings are electrical phenomena, produced by the radiation of luminous particles from the planet, which constantly renews them. A German inventor has perfected a machine to sew the open end or side of a filled bag and knot the thread automatically. Seventy-five per cent of the work of manufacturing rifle ammunition for the United States army and navy is done by women. The municipal authorities of Tokyo have asked the government to approve a plan involving the expenditure of approximately ten million dollars for additional water facilities. At the opening of the forty-third annual session of the Negro Baptist General Missionary and Educational Convention at Fort Worth, Tex. Dr. L. K. Williams told 1,000 Negroes that if the Negro ever amounted to anything he would have to help himself and not sit around on the streets complaining about white people or any other people. "Every man, woman and child in the state can be something and have something," he declared, "and if the Negro falls he will have only himself to blame." Proof. F. W. Gross, president of the Houston college, delivered an address. The convention was one of the largest in its history. Among the visitors introduced were Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and wife, of Muskegon, Oka:. G. C. Fishback, D. D. Topeka, Kan., field secretary of the National Baptist Foreign Missionary board; H. B. Britt, Louisville, Ky. In addressing the convention in its second day's session, Rev. L. K. Williams declared that ignorance was the 'Negroes' great liability, and urged the convention to work as never before to wipe it out or the future of the race in America would be dark. "The pew is demanding a trained minister," said Reverend Williams, "and no time in our history have we had as many idle preachers waiting for some one to call them, and then we have few worthy churches looking for the proper men to call." Dr. J. E. Knox of Dallas, superintendent of missions, delivered an address and introduced Rev. Dr. F. M. McConnell of Dallas, corresponding secretary of the General Baptist State convention (white), who delivered an address. "When I think of the war in Europe in respect to my people," said Doctor Williams in his annual address, "I shudder, and I call upon ministers as leaders of people, as you go from this place, urge them to live closer to God, and do all of our work well." Rev. J. Frank Norris, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, addressed the convention. He congratulated the Negro Baptists on what they had accomplished and the stand they had taken against intemperance and the saloon. "I believe it is possible to drive out whisky from our country." Attributing the inability of the Negro Presbyterian church to keep pace with churches of other denominations to too much culture, Rev. J. B. Isaacs, Wilmington, in a paper read at the session of the twenty first annual convention of the Afro-American Presbyterian council at Reading Pa., representing five eastern states, suggested zeal and practical religion as a panacea for the ills of the sect. Rev. Isaacs said the church was afflicted with plague known as "intellectual achievement of the scholarship," and that something woefully was wrong with its ideas, otherwise the progress would be greater than at present. After a paper by Rev. Francis Gregory, Philadelphia, on "How to Reach the Unchurched," the session adjourned. A famous German physician proves that infantile paralysis is often carried from one household to another by domestic animals, such as chickens, ducks and cows. At the National Negro Business League convention at Muskogee, Oklahoma, it was stated that the 2,000,000 Negroes living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas have under their control, as owners and renters, about three hundred million dollars worth of farm property and and own 60,000 farms, containing 6,000,000 acres of land with farm property, land, live stock, and farming implements worth $200,000,000. The first state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored people in this country is to be located in Delaware, near Hope farm. It consists of several acres of well wooded and well watered land. A temporary building has been opened, with accommodations for about twenty patients. The livestock exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco will last throughout the period of the exposition, from February 20 to December 4, 1915. Competitions will take place in October and November of next year. Russia's population is increasing at the rate of 2,500,000 a year.

NOVEMBER 14. 1814 CHANTILLY LET TRIMMED WITH PEARL IS EFFECTIVE. Illustration Shows Combination of Lace and Fur in a Most Attractive Form—May Easily Be Adapted to More Youthful Wearer. Laces figure importantly again in evening gowns, used for an entire gown or combined with other fabrics. The preference is generally given to the sheer, delicately traced laces rather than the heavy ones, and it is possible to obtain some very effective designs at reasonable prices. but naturally the better the lace the handsomer a gown will be. One of the most effective tunics that has been seen was made of Chantilly net trimmed with a border design of pearl beads. Another clever evening gown tunic was of steel-beaded gray net over a gray charmeuse skirt, and the canic was deeply bordered with a band of the charmeuse. In the handsome gown of the illustration a delicate shadow lace tunic is mounted over a long tunic of white chiffon bordered with ermine, and this in turn covers a white satin skirt faced to knee depth with black satin and slashed a tiny bit just over the feet in front. One very attractive touch is noted in the ermine tails that hang around the lace tunic just above its edge. There is a lace bodice with slightly surplaced fronts and kimono sleeves interestingly "nicked out" on the top of the arms. A section of black satin cut in a deep point, front and back, covers a portion of the bodice at either side, and is bordered on the inside with ermine banding that runs over the shoulders. Black satin is also used for the swathed hip girdle, which crosses directly at center front; the overlapping end hooking at the left side. A more youthful version of this design can be evolved through the use of A Black and White Evening Confection. taffeta, in any of the evening shades, to take the place of the black satin. Opal pink would be lovely with ivory white lace and chiffon, retaining the ermine border, or, if that is too expensive, white jackrabbit fur makes a most effective substitute.-Lillian Young in the Washington Star. Low-Cut Blouses Passe. The very low-cut bouse is going out o. fashion—for the street at least. Whether as a compromise with the autumn season, which presupposes cooler weather, or because women are growing more modest, chemisettes, waistcoats and bodices fasten a little higher at the throat, though the high stock collar is by no means in sight just yet. Sometimes two snap-fasteners are sewed to the chemisettes or bouse, which by this means may be fastened either high or low—for street or indoor wear. When the lower fastening is used the snapfastener occurring on the outer left side of the garment is covered by the inevitable rose which every woman pins to her left shoulder or against the left side of the bodice, near the shoulder. Dress Cover Faded or outgrown house dresses of light weight material make good skirt covers for the gowns hanging in the cupboard. Launder the skirts, cut off the band, turn a hem and run a tape where the belt was. This is gathered tightly round the top of the skirt hanger. To Save Eurs From Mothe A good way to save the furs from the moths is to sprinkle them well with powdered alum, then rub this well into the skins of the furs before packing them away. Handy Case for Shaving Papers Can Be Made Attractive at Very Little Expense. Our sketch shows a handy little case for holding shaving papers or cloths, which can be made with any A B C dainty little remnant of satin and bound at the edges with narrow rib- The particular case from which our sketch was drawn was carried out in A In this stylish model, the designer has used hunter's green garabardine. The three-piece suit will be very fashionable during the coming season. FOR COMFORT AND SERVICE One-Piece Dress May Truly Be Said to Be indispensable Part of the Wardrobe. What a comfort it is to have an all-around, serviceable cloth dress—serge preferably—that is made along semi-tailored lines and warm enough to wear as a street dress in the fall, and which later on in cold weather will not be too bulky to wear under a long coat! Provided it is easy to get into, and in one piece, it will prove the most convenient and indispensable garment included in a woman's wardrobe. Checks and plaid materials, to say nothing of Roman stripes, will all be exceedingly good for the smart cloth frocks of this type, and many of them are interestingly combined with tafeta or satin and, incidentally, since they are so combined, a solution is offered for the remaking and remodeling of old cloth dresses. A smart and typically American design was a blouse made with long sleeves cut in one and finished with turned-back cuffs of linen. The neck is relieved by a broad, flat collar and a rolling narrower one, both of white linen. A line of silver buttons adds a jaunty note to the open front edges of the blouse. The long tunic is given fullness by introducing evenly-packed box plats all around, the spaces between which are covered as far as the hip line with soutache braiding in self-color. The braiding is continued across the front of the skirt between the open edges of the tunic, but with the design arranged to give a cutaway line from the belt. DICTATES OF FASHION The skirt of the new corsets is slightly shorter. There is a tendency to trim all suits with fur. Black velvet jackets are trimmed with astrakhan. Pearls are again being used a great deal for embroideries. Flouces and ruffles share the interest with tunic and plaits. The hat shaped like a jockey cap is the latest fad in millinery. White crepe de chine blouses are trimmed with striped pique. There's to be a revival of "tippets" and barrel muffs, and these quaint items of the feminine toilet will be made of velvet and of thick satin and trimmed with bands of fur. For morning, hats are being made of ribbon velvet and of thick brocaded silk. These models are untrimmed save for a band of handsome ribbon round the crown, and they are worn with washing veils of real lace. Good Idea. One systematic little woman marks all her bed linen with the date of purchase. "I got this idea," she said, "when I was in the hospital, and saw how the sheets there were marked with the date and room number. I use indefible ink with a very fine pen and mark the sheets at the lest side of the bottom hem something on this order: 'Crib sheet, August, 1912.' In a little book I mark down what the sheets cost and where I got them and in that way I try to see how well a certain grade wears, so as to know if I shall buy it again." cream-colored satin on which appeared a pretty little design of pink blossoms and leaves of various shades of green. The ribbon selected to bind the case matched exactly the color of the blossoms. In making the case the material is cut out in the shape in the diagram on the right of the illustration, about six and one half inches wide, and folded at the points indicated by the dotted lines. The portion marked A forms the foldover flap, B the back of the case and C the front of the pocket. C is folded upwards on to B and sewn down at the edges, and the portion B should be stiffened with a piece of card cut to fit, and sewn in between the satin and the lining. The case can either be made to fasten with ribbon strings or a couple of snap fasteners. Hoslery With boots boasting colored tops, it is the thing to match the stockings to the tops. Faille silk is in favor for the latest silk suits. GOOD APPLE RECIPES APPETIZING AND HEALTHFUL DISHES FOR THE FAMILY. Apricot Sherbet Served in Apple Shells is Excellent—Apples in Bloom—Two Methods of Pre- paring Brown Betty. Afterthought.—One pint of nice apple sauce sweetened to taste, stir in the yolks of two eggs well beaten. Bake for for fifteen minutes. Cover with a meringue made of two well beaten whites and one-half cup of powdered sugar. Return to the oven and brown. Apricot Sherbet Served in Apple Shells.—Select bright red apples of uniform size, rub until they have a high polish. Cut off the blossom end and scoop out the pulp, carefully notch the edge. Fill with apricot sher- bet and serve upon apple leaves. Apple Balls With a Mixture of Fruit: Peel large apples, with a potato scoop cut out small balls, dropping them into water with a little vinegar added to keep them white. Prepare a mixture of grapefruit pulp, pineapple and banana and put into glasses; add a few of the apple balls; pour over all the juice left from the fruit which has been boiled down with sugar; cool and serve at once or the apples may turn brown. Apple Balls Served in Sirup—Prepare the apple balls as above; prepare a rich sugar sirup; color with a little pink color paste and drop in the balls, cook slowly until the balls are softened, pile in glasses and add a little sirup to each glass. Serve cold. Apples in Bloom.—Cook red apples in boiling water until soft. Have the water half surround the apples and turn often. Remove skins carefully that the red color may remain, and arrange on serving dish. To the water add one cup of sugar, grated rind of one lemon and juice of one orange; simmer until reduced to one cup. Cool and pour over the apples. Serve with cream sauce as follows: Cream Sauce.—Beat the white of one egg stiff; add the well beaten yolk of one egg and gradually add one cupful of powdered sugar.

Bake in a moderate oven until brown, and serve with plain or whipped cream. Canned Boiled Cider I can my cider for fruit cake and mincemeat, shortly after it is made and before fermentation takes place, says a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader. Place five quarts of sweet cider in a kettle, boil slowly until reduced to one quart, carefully watching it that it does not burn. Can the same as fruit. One gill of this added to a fruit cake makes it more moist and is far superior to cake made without it. You can have sweet cider to drink from one season to another by placing cider in a kettle, letting it come to a boil. Have jars sterilized and can. Clear Soup With Poached Eggs Clear Soup With Poached Eggs. Put a quart of soup stock over the fire and when lukewarm stir in the white of a raw egg. Bring quickly to the boll, stirring all the time. As soon as it bubbles, take from the fire, pour in a little very cold water and let it stand for three minutes. Then slowly pour off the dregs through a flannel bag or a double cloth. Let it drip as you would jelly. When all has dripped through to the fire. Now neatly poach as many eggs as there will be people at table, and when the hot soup is in the tureen slip these carefully into it. Bressed Flank of Beef Wipe, remove superfluous fat and roll a flank of beef; put in a kettle, cover with boiling water and add one tablespoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful peppercorns, a bit of bay leaf and a bone or two which may be at hand; cook slowly until meat is in shreds. There should be but little liquor in the kettle when meat is done. Arrange meat in deep pan, pour over liquor, cover and press with a heavy weight. Serve cold, thinly sliced. Rusty Needles. If you are bothered by your sewing needles becoming rusty, you will find very probably that your needle-book and not the needles is the cause. It is a mistake to use flannel leaves, as the sulphur in the flannel rusts the steel. Therefore, make needle-book leaves of linen or chamois skin and the needles will stay bright. Eggs Tivoli. Take out the inside of half a loaf of bread. Toast the crust and fill cavity with chicken or corned beef hash. Over this break a fresh egg and then cover with white sauce and grated bread crumbs. Brown in the oven. Refining Lard. Put the lard into a basin and pour boiling water over it. Allow to get cold, then pour off the water and repeat the process three times. The lard can then be used for making cold cream. ON THE FUNNY SIDE SELLING TURKEYS IN TEXAS Butcher Makes Customers Believe Rival Is Unfair in Selling Fowl With Legs Cut Off. Speaking of the unsophisticated the other night, Congressman Robert L. Henry of Texas related how a young wife went to a butcher shop to buy a turkey. The price named for the bird, the congressman said, was 26 cents a pound, whereat the young wife hesitated. "Isn't 26 cents rather high?" she timidly queried. "If I remember rightly, the price across the way is 23 cents." "With the feet on, I suppose," was the quick response of the butcher. "No," hesitatingly returned the customer. "I think the feet were cut off." "That's just what I thought!" was the confident declaration of the butcher, as he began to wrap up the bird.

I finally sighted a hut and begged a woman there to find lodging for two. "We'll pay twice the regular rates and even more, and all we ask is that you wake us early so we can be on our way,' I said. For a time the woman an hesitated, but the proffers of double payment overcame her and she consented to let us stop. "What time can you have us up?" I asked.
