THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 47. IN LATCH MASS SURVIVING Drop Bombs 0> Coast Towns, Killing 16 and Seriously Injuring 40 Persons. ENGLISH AVIATORS ATTACK KARLSRUHE Cause Death of 19 Persons and Injury of 14 in German Town—British War Office Admits 24 Killed During Raid of June 6. London, England—Following within 12 hours the British air killed on Karisruhe in which, it is now learned, 19 persons were killed and 14 injured, German Zeppelinus. Tuesday night raided the northeast coast of England, killing 16 and seriously injuring 40 persons, according to admissions of the war office. As was the case with the raid on May 31, details of the latest raid are again being suppressed and nothing is published here except the official statement. Alarmed over the murders of the citizens, however, the war office gives an amplified account of the raid of June 6, in which it is now admitted that 24 were killed and 40 infured. The official statement follows: "Further inquiries show that the casualties in connection with the visit of a Zoppeelin to the northeast coast Tuesday night amounted to 16 killed and 40 injured. It is now possible to state more exactly the casualties resulting from an airship raid on another portion of the northeast coast on the night of June 6. The number of deaths there was 24, comprising 5 men (all civilians), 12 women and 6 children. There were also 40 cases of more or less serious injuries. The principal fires were in drapery establishments, a lumber yard and a terrace of small houses." The heavy casualty list, the admission that the raid was followed by many fires and the suppression of the details is believed to mean that the attack was far more serious than the official statement shows. In all previous raids later statements have proven that the extent of damage done was minimized. The news stories, consorted as they are, state that Tuesday night's raid was the most serious yet made on England. Teutonic Allies Sweep Forward. From the north, south and west the Teutonic allies, heavily reinforced, are battling down all obstacles in their advance on Lemberg, which Gen. Von Mackenzen has predicted will be taken within two weeks. From the San, north of Semyra, the Dniester marshes coast of Lemberg, the German armies have swept forward, breaking the Russian resistance, according to an official statement received here from Berlin. Meanwhile south of the Lemberg railway the army of Gen. Boehm-Fermolli, attacking along its entire front, drove the Russians back through Sandowla, Wifenia and, Rudki, white south of the Dniester, the heavy force of Gen. Pfizeran... sweeping north from the Pruth, captured 'Nizlew. In two weeks, between June 1 and June 15, the Austro-Germans on the Galician front have taken prisoner 122,000 Russians, according to an official statement received here from Vienna. In addition 188 officers have been captured, together with 53 cannon, 187 machine guns and 88 munition wagons. Itallans' Attack Hot. Italian troops are continuing with great vigor their attacks on the Austrian positions at Gorizia. The Austrians are defending the town from the height of Podgora to the west and from invisible trenches extending from Podgora to Mount Fortine, in the Isonzo valley. An elaborate system of entrenchments has been prepared by the Austrians along the Isonzo river, according to an official statement signed by Gen. Cadrona. At some points there are several lines of trenches, some of which are built of masonry or concrete. These trenches are guarded by many mines and batteries. In the meantime the British in the west are hardening at the German lines. Sir John, French, commander-in-chief of the British forces in France, reports that the British troops captured and then lost a line of German trenches at Festubert, but that the British have occupied the German positions to the north of Hooge for a distance of 1,000 yards. Two Policemen Convicted. Chicago, Ill.-Capt. James O'Dea Storen and Detective Sergeant Michael Welsbaum, defendants in the so-called police graft trial, were convicted of conspiracy by a jury. Frederick Roth; former detective sergeant, who was the traveling partner of Welsbaum, was acquitted. The jury fixed Welsbaum's punishment at three years' imprisonment in the penitentiary. Storen was fined $1,000. Mission Worker Dies Paterson, N. J.—Walter B. Moorcroft, for twenty years a prominent mission worker among drunkards and fallen women, died here following a stroke of apoplexy. Twenty years ago Moorcroft owned and operated a resort known as "The Hole in the Wall" in New York and a disorderly ball in 56th-at. He dropped in the John Street mission one night and what he heard caused him to close both places at 10 o'clock, dump all the liquor he owned into the gutter and devoted his life to mission work. THE GAZETTE DECLARES WAR ON 'DEMON RUM' Health Commissioner Would Put New York City on Water Wagon. Bends to Advisory Council of His Department Mandatory Letter Calling for Immediate Organization of a Special Committee. New York City—Dr. S. S. Goldwater, commissioner of health, is going to try to put New York City "on the water wagon." He officially declared war on "demon run" when he sent to the advisory council of the department of health a mandatory letter calling for the immediate organization of a special committee to put into force a campaign against the use of spiritual liquors in New York City. Biggest Job Ever Undertaken. Dr. Goldwater said ridding New York of the curse of liquor was the biggest job ever undertaken by a health department and that his campaign would be the first fight on liquor ever waged by health officials. He thought an anti-liquor campaign under the direction of health officials was just where belongs, for the health department by liquor, he said, was to the physical well being of the victims and their families. "This is a big job," said Dr. Goldwater. "It is the biggest job the health department could undertake. It is not to be a listless sort of fight; I mean business. The time has come when something must be done. "It is admitted that most of the crime and poverty of the city can be traced to the use of alcoholic liquors. It is no use for us to go on fighting disease and crime if we don't do something to abolish the chief factor in causation." Asked if the regulation of the liquor traffic was a duty of the health department, Dr. Goldwater replied: "Anything that affects the health of the people of the city is a subject of concern to the health department. Opposition Won't Stop Him. "There is. too much liquor consumed in New York City; there are too many people sick from it. That's enough for me. I don't care at this time to go into a technical discussion of whether a small amount of alcohol is or is not poison. There is enough used by many people to poison them. We expect our society, but that won't stop us. We know that physiologically the case against alcohol is strong. A substance which is protoplasmic poison, it lessens the vital resistance, hinders the progress of the community, fosters poverty and all the diseases which spring from poverty and is something the use of which calls for vigorous handling by the department of health. This is to be a real fight." Dr. Goldwater explained that the anti-liquor campaign would use every means of publicity, embracing the issuing of pamphlets, illustrated lectures, motion picture exhibitions, posters and permanent exhibits in various parts of the city. SAYS NO GUNS ON SHIP SAYS NO GUNS ON SHIP CAPTAIN OF 'LUSITANIA STATES LINER was MINUS CANNONS ON HER FATAL TRIP. London, England.—"The Lusitania was not armed and she never was fitted out as a transport," was one of the statements made by Sir Edward Carson, attorney general in the new cabinet, in addressing the court at the opening of the board of trade inquiry into the loss of the Cunard liner which was sent to the bottom of the south cost of Ireland May 7 by a German submarine with a loss of over 1,100 lives. Capt. Turner of the Lusitania, after being sworn as a witness, stated positively that the liner carried no guns on her fatal trip. Sir Edward Carson, who opened the board of trade, said he courted the fullest inquiry. "In their note to Germany," the speaker said, "the United States already has officially denied the contention of the German government that the Lusitania was armed to the extent that the response to call will confirm and fully prove the remarks of the American government and that the Lusitania never had fitted out as a transport. Without warning a German submarine fired two torpedoes at the Lusitania, and it is believed that a third projectile was also fired. Such an act was not only contrary to international law but it is contrary to the dictates of civilization and humanity. To sink passengers in this manner was a deliberate attempt at murder." Auto: Plunge Is Fatal. Zanesville, O.-Guy Langley, aged 37, was instantly killed and Henry Buerhaus, 38, prominent Republican politician, four times county auditor, was fatally injured in an automobile accident on the Mt. Sterling hill, west of here. The machine, owned, and driven by Bauerhaus, became unmanageable, sped down the hill, turned turtle and then plunged over a steep embankment. Langley was plumed under the car. Buerhaus was thrown out of the machine and zis head badly crushed. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915. --- MOUNT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH MOUNT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Thrifty New York Body Holds Double Celebration. FINE RECORD OF DR. HAYES Religious Corporation Organized Thirty-seven Years Ago Continues Its Good Work For God and Humanity. Increase Noted Along All Lines. Brilliant Anniversary Exercises. New York.-The recent celebration of the thirty-seventh anniversary of the founding of the Mount Olivet Baptist church in this city, and the fourth anniversary of the Rev. William P. Hayes as its minister, was an occasion of much interest. A thrill of Joy and good fellowship pervaded the membership of all the church organizations. The literary program and period of spiritual devotion centered in the church. Sunday school and Young People's union. The anniversary sermon of the church was preached by the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., and the anniversary sermon of the minister was delivered by the Rev. William A. Credit, L.L. D., of Philadelphia. The attendance at each service more than filled the seating capacity of the church auditorium. At the Sunday school's exercises Superintendent of the school gave a brief history of the school in which he gave the names of many of the former superintendents. The address to the school was delivered by N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention. The speakers for the Young People's union were Charles C. Allison, Jr., and Milfred Stephens. The Mount Olivet Baptist church was organized in the meeting house at 105 West Twenty-sixth street, March 10, 1878, the Fifth Avenue Baptist REV. WILLIAM P. HAYES, D. D. church, of which the noted Dr. Thomas Armitage was then pastor, playing the leading part in its organization. The membership at the time of its organization consisted of twenty-one persons who had secured letters from churches in Virginia for the purpose of constituting the Mount Olivet Baptist church. On May 30, 1878, a council was called for the double purpose of recognizing the church and ordaining the Rev. D. W. Wisher to the Christian ministry. He served the church twenty-one years. The Rev. Charles T. Walker, who presided the anniversary sermon, was the second minister to serve this church. His ministry covered a period of four years. The third minister was the Rev. Matthew W. Gilbert, who served for six years. He was succeeded by the present minister, the Rev. William P. Hayes, who took charge on May 5, 1911. Thus during a period of nearly forty years the church has had four capable ministers. As a preacher and leader in religious work Dr. Hayes looms up high in the forefront of the denomination. The funeral and numerical record of the church from May, 1911, when Dr. Hayes began his ministry here, to May, 1915, is as follows: Money collected for all purposes during the four years ending with May, 1915, amounts to $4277.90 without any income or any investment of any kind. The church is supported solely by voluntary contributions from its members and friends. In May, 1911, the record showed an enrollment of 911 members. The membership at the end of May, 1915, numbers 1,900. During the four years of Dr. Hayes' ministry at the Mount Olivet church he has attested at 110 marriages, preached the funeral ceremony over the remains of 105 persons, delivered 556 addresses and personally visited 626 sick persons. The average attendance upon the services of the church is splendid notwithstanding the fact that our people are constantly moving from the downtown section of the city to Harlem. Pearls has reigned in Mount Olivet during the four years of Dr. Hayes' ministry. Realizing the harmful effects of factionalism, this minister has at all times counselled unity of thought and action, and the church has responded beautifully—not merely because it is good policy, but also because it has been found to be in perfect accord with the teachings of Scripture. The New England Baptist missionary convention holds its annual meeting at the Mount Olivet church from June 15 to 21, inclusive. HAMPTON INSTITUTE ENDS SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR Large Class Receives Certificates—Dr. Frissell Sonds Affectionate Lotter. "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ!" (11 Tm. I, 3). This was the text from which Rev. Dr. II, B. Turner, chaplain of the Hampton (Va) institute, preached the baccalaureate sermon to the recent graduating classes, taking as his theme the first part of the senior class motto, "Through struggle and thrift we prosper." Dr. Turner used as an illustration the life of the Apostle Paul in his great missionary work. At the annual competitive drill the company commanded by Captain W. David Owl, a chiever Indian, of Rodley, N. C., won the prize—a silver loving cup presented by Lententian Colonel Thomas V. Winston, formerly of Fort Monroe, now of Madison, Wis. The judges were Captain Jacob M. Soward, Lententian Adelino Gibson and Lententian Sidney J. Gulitsch of Fort Monroe. The decision was made on neatness, military bearing, company and battalion drill. The winning company made an average of 90 per cent. This company will have the honor of being the battalion color bearers for the next school team. The junior class was presented the silver cup trophy in the spring rowing races. This class held in 1914, when they were known as the "work year boys." The first and second prizes in both the mile and the quarter mile running races were won respectively by William S. Parker, tailor, of Jacksonville, Fla., and John F. Dorsay, agriculture, of Dragonville, Va. The annual spring concert under the supervision of R. Nathamiel Dett, director of vocal music, and Miss Bessie L. Drew, teacher of singing, and the annual band concert under the leadership of Professor WP in m. O. Tessman, bandmaster, were, as usual, most entertaining events. Fifty-six Negroes and six Indians received their certificates in trade, agriculture and business, being distributed in the three courses as follows: Porty-eight—forty-two Negroes and six Indians—in eleven different trades, thirteen Negroes in agriculture and one Negro in business. The class day exercises consisted of three songs in the absence of Principal Frissell, the vice principal, Dr. George P. Phenix, presented the certificates. Dr. Phenix also made a short address ap. presented the academic diploma to a class of sixty-five African Negroes and five Indian boys and girls. Dr. Phenix read to the class the following letter, dated May 12, from Dr. Frissell. I regret very much that there is little prospect of my being with you at your graduation, exercises to deliver to you your diplomas and speak to you some advice and help you improve and good wishes. I go to the hospital this afternoon and tomorrow expect to undergo an operation which will make quiet necessary for sometime. I am sure that you will be able to succeed and how strong a belief I have in you and in the service you are to render your people. Hampton expects every one of you to do his or her duty. May God give you and cause his face to shine upon you. Dr. Phoenix in his address emphasized the importance which Hampton puts upon character, rating character above scholarship. He said that every hour at Hampton, every task in the agricultural department, and every exercise in the trade school, offered students the opportunity of building strong character. The academic class program included a salutatory address by Harriet E. Marshall, Alken, S. C.; class history, Theon N. Williams, Salen, N.; class will, Betty J. Jenkins, Wurrenton, N. C.; valedictory, Melvin T. Wildy, Avon, Va., and a class song written by W. Lloyd Walker, Hampton, Va. It is the custom each year for the graduating class to select some tree on the groundstairs as their memorial. The tree chosen, this year was an elm, the tree that has played an important part in the history of our country. At the tree exercises the address was delivered by W. David Owl, who closed his speech by saying: "Let us go forth with the spirit of Hampton dominating our characters and very beings and strive to grow more and more into the Christian manhood and womanhood that shall determine the success of our future lives as individuals and as a class." Alpine Choral and Dramatic Society. The most recent musical organization formed in Pittsburgh is known as the Alpine Choral and Dramatic society. It has over twenty-five members, nearly all students or graduates of the various high schools, colleges and conservatories of music in Pittsburgh. The society made its first public appearance at a musical given at the Bethel A. M. E. church on Thursday evening, June 17. Among its members are such well known persons of musical ability and education as Miss Jennie Patterson, M. Helen Pryor, Miss Mary V. Turner, James Marshall, O. Wilbert Daniels and William Marshall. The musical was held under the auspices of the junior stewardesses of Bethel church. Ohio Knights of Pythias Are Active. Members of local lodge, Knights of Pythias, throughout the state of Ohio are making preparations for the meeting of the supreme lodge encampment to be held in Columbus in August. The uniform rank has already commenced drill practice, as the contest for the prize at the coming meeting will be the most exacting in every detail of any yet scheduled by the state grand lodge at an encampment. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MEETS THOUSANDS - IN ATTENDANCE Tenth Annual Gathering of Influential National Body Has Many Notable Features—The A. F. Boy Cadets and National Baptist Band Receive Big Ovation in Street Parade. Birmingham, Am. Five thousand people witnessed the opening of the tenth annual session of the Sunday school congress, which was called to order in the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, this city on Wednesday, June 9, by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. L., of Nashville, Tenn., chairman of the congress. The formal opening took place in the afternoon, while Birmingham's welcome and cordial reception were given at night in the presence of an audience that filled to overflowing the spacious edifice. Never in the history of the city has the religious fervor reached such a high degree as was evidenced beginning on June 9, when the first special trains began to arrive. In the language of some on the streets, "the pot bollied over" today when special after special pulled in, all of which were met by cheering crowds and enthusiastic workers bedded in the Sunday school congress. In the doorway, wearing badges and carrying pennants, representing some of the organized classes or wounded "Sunday School Congress." The upholding touches for the demonstration came when the Sunday school congress special arrived at the Union station. The entire local committee, known as the central committee, which is composed of the Baptist ministers' conference of Jefferson county and Greater Birmingham, with the 300 singers, making up a mummoth chorus, two brass bands and a waiting public thronged the station to greet the arrival of the congress special. Magnificent in its appearance was the personnel making up the parade band, which was sent to the church. The National Baptist boy cadets attracted the most attention. Soldierly looking in their bearing, they went through the streets to the tune of "Hall the Baptist Congress," played by the National Baptist band of Nashville, which escorted the delegation. Great is the Sunday school congress and valiant are the workers of the plan for building front line Sunday schools was Birmingham's vowel as constituted by the various welcomes extended in the formal opening at the church. Distinguished citizens and prominent churchmen participated in the booth program which virtually turned the key over for the first completing days which were devoted, according to the congress secretary, Henry Allen Boy, to a school of methods, with general sessions in the foreroom and departmental meetings in the afternoon. These departments are under the supervision of able conductors selected from various states in the Union. At the general sessions there were twelve topics discussed, but on some of these subjects fully 100 persons spoke. Not over ten minutes was given to any speaker to deliver his paper or speech, and not over three minutes were allowed for open discussion. The key to the congress, declare the officials, is the Bible conference, which includes the faculty, and a half for the careful study of the Bible by subjects and toques. Every delegate at the congress was requested to come to the conference with Bible in hand. Every Sunday school worker, old or young, big or little, man or woman, who came with a message was heard. This was the great desire of the Rev. H. R. Boyd, D. D., the director of this host that captured Birmingham. There was a Metella and Galeda night, devoted entirely to the demonstration of the organized class effort in Sunday schools. Following this there was a boy cadet night. The taking of San Junn hill was graphically and picturesquely portrayed by the pictures of the boy cadets throughout the organization. There were here in the second annual encampment. Dunbar hotel was transformed into barracks. The tap of the drum and the sound of the bong, with the steady marching feet of many boys, brought military discipline under religious influence and leadership. The literary entertainment given showed the talent that makes up the Sunday schools throughout the country. Glee clubs, quartets, singing associations, elocutionists, able divines and musicians of note from the United States at large appeared on the program. Sunday, June 13, put the religious idea in the forefront. Model and modern Sunday school sessions were conducted in seventy-two Baptist churches throughout Birmingham by workers sent to take charge of these schools from the congress. The mammoth street parade had nearly 5,000 in line. The parade formed at the Sixteenth Street Baptist church and marched through the busy section of Birmingham on the north side to the concession section on the south side, where the mass meeting was held at the Sixth Avenue Baptist church. The sessions closed Monday, June 14. MEXICAN CHIEFS BID FOR WILSON'S FAVOR Both Carranza and Villa Covet 'Active Moral Support' of United States. Each Faction is Following Course Which It Hopes Will Secure for Itself Fulfillment of Promises Made by American Ruler. Washington, D. C. Although the United States government within the last two weeks has been absorbed in the situation that had arisen with Germany, the interim of a tortuition that will now elapse before a reply comes from Berlin undoubtedly will draw attention again to political developments in Mexico. Gen. Carranza has now issued a proclamation claiming that as he controls a large territory and has instituted civil administration therein he is logically entitled to recognition. Gen. Villa has sent a note to the United States government favoring the policies of the factions in Mexico unite-for peace. He also has made overtures directly to Carranza. Villa Seeks Peace. Villa claims that, the too, is in possession of a large area of Mexico and that law and order exists within his jurisdiction. No request is made for recognition of the convention government represented by Villa, but a willingness is expressed to reach an agreement with the other Mexican factions. Manuel Bonilla, minister of communications in the Madero cabinet, has arrived here as the personal representative of Gen. Villa, bearing dispatches and the note in question. Gen. Carranza also has a number of personal representatives here. Each faction is following a course which it hopes will ultimately secure for itself from the United States the "active moral support" promised in President Wilson's statement. Until a new secretary of state is appointed to succeed Mr. Bryan it is not thought there will be an development of the proposed policy. President Wilson to insist on a settlement by the Mexicans of to employ some other means if they fail. Meanwhile relief work is being conducted on a large scale by the American Red Cross, and military movements are proceeding in Mexico with as much vigor as ever. WIFE SLAYER IS FREED ` FROM PEN BY WILLIS Steubenville Man's Case Is One of Ten Recommended by the Pardon Board Acted Upon by the Governor. Columbus, O.—William Horner of Steubenville, who has served 15 years in the penitentiary for the murder of his wife, whom he killed in a fit of jealousy while intoxicated, has just been freed by Gov. Willis. The state pardon board recommended his release and the penitentiary physician said he would die soon from an incurable disease. Horner's parents, children and other relatives have been trying to get a pardon for him for several years. Horner's case was one of ten recommended by the pardon board acted upon by the chief executive. He approved seven of the cases and rejected three. The other cases acted upon favorably are: Dennis Suillvillan, Melgs county, convicted in 1913 for burglary and larceny and sentenced from 1 to 15 years. Willie intoxicated he stole a small sum of money from a store. Released at once. Sumner Kindle, Melgs, convicted in 1913 of second degree murder; life. Sutileceum convicted to 10 years. The trial judge says that his sentence should have been manslaughter. Richard Anglin, Butler, convicted in 1911 of second degree murder; life. He killed a man in a saloon who attacked him. Trial judge and prosecutor say he should have been adjudged guilty of manslaughter. Commuted to 10 years. Robert W. Brown, Allen, convicted in 1914 of forgery; three years. The amount he obtained was so small that the officials in the county think he should be released. Commutation to 18 months, which liberates him at once. Charles Block, Hamilton, convicted in 1913 of grand larceny; five years. He stole a $290 charge from an office into which he went to use a telephone. A Columbus business man will give him employment. Commuted to three years, which releases him at once. Two Fight With Knives. Akron. O—While three 'tramps who had sought a quarter for "coffee and" looked on, Peter Remezopszky, 22, and his friend, Andy Lutyk, fought with knives late at night on Springs over the question of giving the requested alms. It was a question of organized charity versus promiscuous giving. When Remezopszky went down with a slush in the shoulder and one cheek nearly cut off the tramps fed. Lutyk was arrested and Remezopszky was taken to the hospital. IN WATCH SUCCESS LUIS RAUL ESTEVES Luis Raul Esteves, a member of this year's class at West Point, is the first cadet from Porto Rico to graduate from the United States Military academy. CHICAGO STREET CAR STRIKE IS NOW OVER Company and Employees Agree to Leave Points of Difference Up to Picked Board of Arbitration. Chicago, Ill.—What loomed up as one of the biggest strikes in recent years in the United States was amicably adjusted when the Chicago street car strike was settled by an agreement to arbitrate. The strike lasted but 48 hours, during which time there was but little disorder, although traffic was at a standstill. The familiar roar of the elevated trains and the gongs of the surface cars was the occasion of a demonstration in the downtown district. Windows of office buildings along the route were crowded with persons, who cheered the visible evidence that the strike was at an end. The settlement was reached after an all-night conference behind locked doors in the mayor's office. It was attended by Mayor Thompson, the aldermanic mediation committee, the grievance committee of the unions and the presidents of the traction company. The arbitration board will consist of a representative of each side with Mayor Thompson the neutral member. "It is arbitration practically with out qualification," said the mayor when asked as to details of the agreement. The company conceded three points in advance of arbitration: 1—Trippers, that is men who are given one run in the morning, rush and another at night, to be eliminated, thus giving every trainman a regular job. 2—Runs on surface lines not to consume over nine hours actual working time. 3—Wages shall not be revised downward. This leaves for arbitration the following: towing. 1—Scale of wages. 2—Period of service before maximum wage is received. 3—Time in which a day's run on the elevated is to be completed. the elevator is to be compartmented and swing runs on the, elevated, to eliminate so far as possible waits by employees between trains. MARINES TO RESCUE AMERICANS IN MEXICO Will Aid U. S. Citizens Who Are Expected to Be Attacked by Yaqui Indians Who Are Again on War Path. Washington, D. C.—Six hundred marines and bluejackets have been ordered to be ready at San Diego to proceed to the rescue of about 100 Americans near Esperanza, in the state of Sonora, Mexico. There is momentary expectation that the Americans will be attacked by the Yaqui Indians, who are again on the warpath. Simultaneously with this news from Mexico the American Red Cross gave out reports showing that in wide areas of Mexico there will practically be no harvest; that the peasants have been robbed by Mexican soldiers of their horses and cattle and that men, women and children are leaving the famine districts for the cities in large numbers. Students Enact Historic Scene. Athens, O.—Within a stone's throw of the famous old beech tree beneath which Thomas Ewing and John Hunter received their diplomas from the Ohio university in 1815, the centennial paragrant was held and the alumni gateway, donated by nearly 1,000 alumni and former students of the university, was dedicated. The pageant, a reproduction of historical and ethnic Ohio from the earliest days to the present, was enacted on the campus of the university before a crowd estimated at 6,000.

SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915. The "peerless leader" resigned, just in time for the Chautauqua season. Will Colonel Bryan be able to force President Wilson to walk the one term plank? Having become the prince of peace the late secretary of state may abjure the warlike title of "Colonel," which he won by raising a regiment during the Spanish war and leading it into Tennessee. --- Speaking of the latest reply to the German government, Gov. F. B. Willis says: "This note of firm determination does not mean war, it is the sincere, profound conviction of a nation dedicated to peace with honor." Whether Sheriff Hood of Winnsboro, S. C., dies or not, as the result of the wounds he received in the vain effort he and his deputies made to protect a prisoner from a mob of lynch-murderers, the Carnegie Hero Commission ought to pass favorably on his case. We believe this is the first case in the history of this country of a southern sheriff (white) sacrificing his life in an effort to save an Afro-American prisoner. His death will be a great loss to that section of the country and indeed, the entire country. John E. Stoner, one-armed chair attendant at Atlantic City, N. J., went into the surf and saved a young woman (white) from drowning, last week, Tuesday afternoon, while a number of "board-walkers" (white) stood, looked on and allowed the woman's companion to drown with his cries for help ringing in their ears. We respectfully ask a Carnegie Hero Commission medal for Stoner and shall do our part to see that he gets one, too. --- Hugh E. Macbeth, Esq., former editor of the Baltimore Weekly Times, now practicing law in Los Angeles. Cal., was recently appointed a special deputy prosecuting attorney by the southern democratic district attorney of that county, (Thomas Lee Woolwine), so that Attorney Macbeth could represent him in a case in which only Afro-Americans were involved. Whether the average prejudiced southerner is in the South or in the North, he never loses an opportunity to preach and practice segregation, it seems. Our people of Ohio must be on the lookout, constantly. The recent Springfield, Steubenville and Youngs town efforts to advertise and show the miserable photo-play, "The Nigger," in defiance of the orders of the State Board of Film Censors (on the suggestion of Gov. Frank B. Willis), but emphasizes this fact. Whenever the play is advertised in your community, write the governor and notify the board, promptly, at 522 S. High St., Columbus, O. and it will take care of the matter promptly, as it has in the case of Springfield, and other Ohio cities. THEY OPPOSED WILLIS' NOMI NATION. It is about as reasonable to hold Gov. Frank B. Willis responsible for the unfortunate appointment, by J. M. Carr, state oil inspector, of Tom Fleming to a deputyship (In Cleveland), as it is to blame him for similar mistakes of his subordinate appointees. A more unpopular appointment, to say the least, could hardly have been made. the governor does not make such minor appointments and everyone ought to, as most people do, know this. The only appointments, of Afro-Americans, Gov. Willis has made to date, are those of Wm. A. Anderson and Miss Hallele Q. Brown of Wilberforce, and Miss Dora E. Johnson of Norwalk, members of the Ohio Commission to the Illinois Half-Century (Afro-American) exposition; and several trustees of the Combined Normal & Industrial (state) department of Wilberforce University. All these appointments are excellent too. Of the several Afro-Americans, Tom Fleming, John Fulton and H. E. Davis, given minor appointments by state officials (other than the governor), and by local officials, not one of them supported Gov. Willis for the nomination, last fall, but were active in the ranks of the opposition doing what little they could to defeat him and nominate a Mr. Tod of Youngsau. This secured them the support of a local political faction (white) that has secured them their jobs—the same faction that is supporting Harry L. Davis, one of the two Republican candidates for mayor. This is the individual who led the party to an inglorious defeat two years ago, but will not do so, a second time, this fall, because his candidacy will be eliminated by leading Republicans of this community who really wish a candidate has some chance to win. In case they should fail to do so, and there is little likelihood that they will, Peter Witt, the democratic candidate, will do the eliminating. As between candidates Harry L. Davis and Minor G. Norton, Esq., the other Republican candidate for mayor, the latter is decidedly preferable from every viewpoint. The Fulton-Davis clerkships and the Fleming deputyship are not, in any sense, the recognition our people of this state have earned the right to look forward to from the Chief Executive of Ohio, nor do we, for a single moment, think that he could so regard them, because they are in no sense his personal appointments and also because they are very minor appointments—mere clerkships and a deputyship of even less importance. The Gazette has confidence in Gov. Frank B. Willis and feels sure that when he gets to it, and soon too, now, he will keep his promise to our people of the state, made months ago in a letter to this paper which we published at the time. AS TO O. P. SEGREGATION. THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building Cleveland. June 10, 1915. Warden P. E. Thomas, Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir and Friend:—I am enclosing a clipping from the Cleveland Daily Press of June 8, 1915, and wish to call your attention to the paragraph marked which reads as follows: "Thomas (warden) is at work on carefully thought-out plans by which the entire prison population of 1800 will be separated into companies according to COLOR, health, habits, prison-conduct and number of terms served." My attention was called to the above paragraph by one of our leading citizens to whom I felt free to say that I felt sure that the insertion of the word "Color" in the paragraph was a mistake, as far as you are concerned; that my visit with you when in Columbus, last year, satisfied me that you were not possessed of the prejudice and smallness that would cause you to suggest or that would permit you to do any such thing. Communication from you at an early date, substantiating my statements to my friend here, who has not the pleasure of your acquaintance like Joseb 11.19.15 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gaze gette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir and Friend:—Your letter of the 10th inst. received. In reply, I was somewhat surprised to hear from you along the line of your letter, especially when I am instructed that I fail in giving a square deal to every man in the penitentiary. Entire segregation in a prison is practically impossible and especially on color, as both races are employed in every department on the inside and on the trusty sounds on the outside. Seregregation I HON. P. E. THOMAS. believe should be made according to classes of criminals, such as criminals by choice, imbecilic, association and environment, circumstances, etc. Or, in other words, should be made with the end in view of giving the best chance to all. You must appreciate the fact that to some the penitentiary is only a place of detention and this class should be kept away from those upon whom reformation can be worked. On June first, 15 left the prison on parole, nine of whom were Colored and the last meeting of the Board saw the release on parole of one life man, our friend Mayo. Trusting I have answered your letter and with an invitation to visit the institution, I am, with best wishes. Yours sincerely, P. E. THOMAS. Warden. Cleveland, June 15, 1915. Warden P. E. Thomas, Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus, O. Friend Thomas:—Your letter of the 11th, received and I am very glad indeed, to have it. There was no intimation in my letter to the effect that you had "failed in giving a square deal to every man in the penitentiary;" nor that I even thought that such was the case. Just the contrary was made plain, in my communication of June 10, 1915, as you will notice on reference to the same. If I understand your letter correctly, the Columbus correspondent of the Cleveland Daily Press was wrong when he said that you were "at work on carefully thought-out plans by which the entire prison population of 1800 will be separated into companies according to Color, etc." I notice that you say "entire segregation is practically impossible." I do not think that you would segregate even in part on a basis of color. Am I right? FRESH OHIO NEWS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORP Bradley, was here Giles, J. Fields, D. Brooks of Mt.

He is a graduate, principal of our school at Goode, Va, and our valedictorian of the class of 96, Virginia seminary (Lynchburg), 23 graduates, was recently awarded a silver medal and $1,000 by the Carnegie Hero Commission, Pittsburgh, for the heroic part he played when a home was burned at Goode, two years ago.

Dr. Hopkins is also interested in a drug store and motion picture theater. Albert A. Smith was awarded the Richard S. Olliesheimer scholarship at the Ethical Culture High school, New York City, recently. "Mother" Katherine Drexel, of Philadelphia, founder and Superior of the Sistine Chapel, has purchased the evangelization of Indians and Afro-Americans, has purchased property in New Orleans for the establishment of a new convent and industrial school for the training of our children. The property was formerly occupied by the Sistine Chapel, with that state's democrat government crushed out of existence. Fifty years ago, four million people; adults, 98 per cent illiterate, children, 100 per cent; NOW, ten million people; adults, 43 per cent illiterate children; only 15 per cent. Ten millions of people; fifty years of hard living than less than a fourth Russian illiteracy, less than a fourth of Grecian, less than half of the Italian, and those nations heirs of those sands of years of civilization. Where on the face of the earth can be found a race that has made progress equal that of the Colored people of the United States?—Nashville (Tenn.) Union River. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak unto right to many of others.—Ela Wheeler Wilcox MORTALLY WOUNDED. Winnsboro, S. C.-Sheriff Hood, six deputies and a number of citizens were wounded on Monday, the sheriff mortally, while the officers were resisting a mob's attempt to lynch a prisoner. Despite the posse's fight the Afro-American was wrested from them and shot to death by the infuriated crowd of men, who were sent to the courthouse. With the sheriff were 20 deputies who struggled desperately to save their prisoner. They were over whelmed by numbers, however, and had to surrender him when seven of them had fallen. Sheriff Hood was hurried to a special rain and started full speed for Columbia in an effort to save his life. Physicians said how this would be impossible Gov. Manning, who was reached at the University of Virginia, immediately ordered out the militia. Heavy guarded automobiles, carrying ammunition, left Columbia for Winnsboro, at 11 a.m. "LOOK FOR THE MAN." The press dispatches tell us that "Stella Frank, 18, a beautiful Colored woman of Thibodeau, La., was shot and instantly killed by Eva J. Thibodeaux, 24, prominent throughout Louisiana, who afterward cut her own throat. Believed Miss Thibodeaux will die. Shooting caused sensation in social circles. Motive unknown." In this case we must look for the man who was caused by a woman's jealousy. It was one of those traced which so frequently occur in the South, when the Caucasian in the case turns from his own group to make love to some beautiful Colored woman. Perhaps the man really loved Stella Frank and would have married her, but Louisiana has made Christian marriage a crime. The man had two sweethearts, the white one and noted his time to the Colored woman, the white sweetheart became insanely jealous and killed her. That's all.—St. Paul Appeal. PRAISE FOR "THE OLD RELIABLE." Wilmington, O., May 27, 1915. Mr. Smith, Dear Sir; I have faith in you and know that you will do all that is in your power for the race, and that this you have done for many years.

It will convince them that Pictorial Review two of its members came to the city at once, and without the knowledge of the management of the theatre, witnessed the play for themselves; after which they held a conference with their attorney, and upon his advice, announced "that the film had failed to arrive in time, but it would be put on the next day", but the following day, they announced again that the film could not be secured for that day, but would be shown on May 24. Following that announcement, Dr. S. S. Jordan, president of the local Censor bus, and held an interview with the State Board of Censors, and there, it was learned that the play, as it was being shown here, had not been before the Board at all, and the doctor was advised that affidavits were prepared, and if an attempt was made to put the play on again on May 24, as had been previously announced, without the approval of the Board of Censors, meantime the play was presented to the Board of Censors with the objectable features eliminated. The committee here was furnished with a list and numbers of the eliminations from the reels, and thus prepared for further action, witnessed the play on the stage, and presented the objectionable features. This may be considered a distinct triumph for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and much credit is due Dr. R. E. Petferd, chairman of the committee on grievance, and Dr. S. S.

I. N. McCullough, Rev. G. W. Tindull and L. Sutton Murray waited on the pressroom Attorneys, who precisely notified the proprietor of the movie house that he must not show that picture, or any other that would stir up ill-feeling between the races, under penalty of prosecution to the full extent of the law. The prosecutor is to be commended for the stand he has taken on behalf of the race. He sent notices to all the theaters, hotels and restaurants that they must stop discriminating against us. We must stand by those who have spoken well for the race locally, is that they have learned that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The people were a unit in showing their disapproval of the play and B. J. Guyder, Elmer E. White and others wrote Gov. F. B. Willis and waited on the mayor to make sure that the people of Ohio are certainly indebted to the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, for many good things he has done for them in the past thirty-two years. The Mayor Stopped It Promptly. Youngstown, O, June 10, 1915. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Acting under orders from Mayor Hartenstein, Police Capitol, John Kinkens the Dome theater, last Friday evening after it had been run only a part of one day. The mayor said: "When it was announced that the show, known as 'The Nigger', was to be produced at the Dome I advised the management of the theater not to produce it because of its tendency to be violent. I was a bigger faithfully promised he we would obey my request. When several prominent Colored residents called and objected to the picture, I informed them it would not be produced. After I had gone home, Friday night, I found out that the picture called 'The Mystery of Morrow's Rest', advertised to appear at the Dome, Friday and Saturdays, and another name. I immediately instructed Captain Jenkins to stop the show, and he obeyed my orders." More power to Mayor Hartenstein! We won't forget him when the time comes to show full appreciation of his manly act in spite of the Vindicator's senseless criticism. Mrs. A. L.

Willis, last Saturday, appointed the follow ing as members of the Ohio commis. sion to participate in the Illinois ex. position at Chicago, in August and September, honoring the half-century anniversary of Afro-American tree: dom: Hallie Q Brown and William A. Anderson, Wilberforce; Dora E. Johnson, Norwalk; Hon. J. Warren Kiefer, Springfield; and Hon. R. B. Brown, Zanesville. The last two hamed are not members, but life-long friends, of the race, and veterans of the war of the rebellion, The three first named and the several new Afro- American trustees of the Combined Normal & Industrial (State) depart. ment of Wilberforce University, are the ONLY appointments of members of the race, Gov. Willis has made to date. He did NOT appoint either Fleming or Fulton, as has been erro: neously announced. ‘This, to his ever: lasting credit. J. M, Carr, state oil Inspector, Mon: day, announced the appointment of thirty-two deputy oil inspectors, with salaries ranging from $720 to $1,200 a year, Thomas W.

Salaries, up to the maximum of $1,200 will be determined by the size of the dis. triets, Now that two minor appoint. ments of members of the race haye been made by state officials other than the Governor—that of John Ful- ton to a $1200 clerkship in the Adju- tantGeneral’s office here, and Flem- ing’s, it is reported that Gov.

Atlanta, Ga.—Atter impassioned ap: peals for and against commutation of sentence to life imprisonment, by Leo M. Frank's lawyer and a delegation of citizens, respectively. Gov. Slaton, last Saturday, postponed further hearing on the appeal to Monday. The court room was crowded with spectators. Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, who prose: cuted Leo M. Frank. made a fight be- fore Gov. Slaton, Monday, in opposi- tion to commutation of Frank's. xen. tence from death to life imprisonment for murder of Mary Phagan. In ad- dition to submitting a 60-page brief. he spoke at length, and stated he had new affidavits in support of the jury's verdict of guilty against the con- demned man: that Frank had had a fair tril, and that he had been legally and rightfully condemned to pay the death penalty. Gov. Slaton Monday planned to visit the National Pencil Company factory to familiarize himself with the surroundings in which Mary Phagan was murdered. Because of the near. ness of the date fixed for Frank's ex. ecution—June 22—Gov. Slaton, Solicit or Dorsey and others spent Sunday going over the case, A mass meeting attended by 600 persons was held on the capitol steps in the afternoon pro: testing against the commuting of Frank's sentence.

ALYCE THOMAS, No. 3585 Prairie Ave, Chicago, IL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Kuno Meyer said the other day that the great war was the price the world is paying for the mechanical comforts which have been piled up so rapidly. Again another historian clinches the point. The time it is W. E. B., D. Buols, the author of a brilliant book on "The Negro," which Hoit has just published in the Home University Library. DuBols says that the Negro in Africa has been practically enslaved by the civilized nations of Europe. The growth of trade unions made investors look to Africa for opportunities. That meant the partition of Africa. And "this partition of Africa brought revision of the ideas of Negro uplift. Why was it necessary, the European investors urged, to push a continent of black workers along the paths of social uplift by education, trades unionism, property holding and the electoral franchise when the workers desired no change and the rate of European profit would suffer." Accumulated profits from the mechanical inventions of the last few generations drove France, Belgium, England, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal to carve Africa according to their own tastes. DuBois can see no hope for the race until Negroes "fight not simply for their own rights as men, but for the ideals of the greater world in which they live; the emancipation of women, universal peace, democratic government, the socialization of wealth and human brotherhood." That does not mean inevitable progress. It means inescapable degradation if the generous spirits of the world do not strive to the utmost. At a crisis like this every virtue, every ideal, every dream of glory can be forsaken in an instant. Brute force can displace reason, and the world, like the gallant boy on the Aisne, can make itself "the instrument through which a greater force works out its inscrutable ends through the impulses of terror and repulsion." The alternative is justice, fraternity and equality. the adoption by the Baptist convention of the report to locate the proposed Negro seminary at Memphis came after considerable discussion. Nashville submitted a pleasing proposition for the location of the seminary, but because of the distance to Nashville from the center of Negro population to be benefited by the seminary, it was decided that Memphis would be a more suitable place. It was agreed to raise at an early date $50,000 for this purpose. Dr. Milton E. Griggs, Negro, of Tennessee, made a profound impression and showed the fine spirit of brotheriness and cooperation which exists between the white and the Negro Baptists. His address showed a fine spirit of loyalty to the South and the white people. He acknowledged the debt which he and his people owed to the South and to the southern people. He said that it was here that he got his language, his knowledge of industry and his religion, that he was proud of his race and of the white people. He declared that the white people of the South have helped the Negroes far beyond their calculations, giving them new unity and inspiring them to self-uplift and self-help. He declared that the work of the southern white people is affecting the Negro, not externally but in a real emancipation of the race. One-third of the voting strength of the United States the South con- Booker Washington, accompanied by a company of 25 other educated colored men, has recently made a visit to larger centers of population in Louisiana. The coming of the visitors was widely advertised in advance, and Negroes gathered in large numbers to attend the meetings held. Some journeyed ten, twenty and even forty miles—on mule back, in buggy, in wagon. At Shreveport, on the western border of the state, ten thousand gathered principally to hear Mr. Washington. He was the chief speaker and principal attraction at all points. White citizens of prominence lent encouragement to the meetings by their presence. Booker Washington gave wise and wholesome counsel to both races. In talking to the whites he reminded them that it is better to educate Negroes than to take care of criminals; that Louisiana paid too high a compliment to Negro children by assuming that a Negro child could by giving a satisfactory education by giving him only three or four months' schooling in the year; that the nation hears too much about lynchings and racial difficulties and too little about Lart summer saw completed the demarcation of the boundary line between Alaska and Canada, straight north along the one hundred and forty-first meridian to the Arctic ocean. No other boundary demarcation has extended into such high latitudes and few boundaries of equal length are so straight. The line follows the meridian without deviation, regardless of mountains, swamps and forests. Philadelphia's yearly loss because of rats is estimated at $1,000,000. A report on the atmosphere electric observations made during the second cruise of the Carnegie is published. The radio-activity of the air over the ocean areas far removed from land is small, compared to that found over land; while the ionization over the ocean is at least as large as that found over land. The staple crop of China is said to be sweet potatoes. There is no region which does not raise them, and they are a substantial part of the diet of a greater part of the Chinese people. trools and almost two thirds of the present national government. In this great Baptist movement the South leads, realizing that in proportion as the Negroes are educated they will help in advancement and plans for improving the condition of all the people. He declared that as the Negroes followed the white people through years of slavery, so they are now willing to follow in this great work and labor in concert for the future of the race. This theological seminary for the Negroes will doubtless prove a great forward step in all their work. It was a humiliating position in which the son of Abraham Lincoln found himself when he admitted to the industrial commission that the great Pullman company was the real recipient of the tips to its colored porters. This concern, whose stock is so closely held and so highly valued as to be almost never sold, has paid on an average 8 per cent ever since its foundation. At the same time, it gives to its colored employees less than a living wage, and expects them to make up the difference between that and what they need to live on out of the gratuities of travelers. Mr. Lincoln thought that on the whole the company was entitled to great credit for keeping this field of employment open to Negroes, who are so often discriminated against. But it may well be doubted whether the philanthropic motive would be noticed in the Pullman company if it were compelled to pay the wages it should. The laborer is worthy of his hire; and when Mr. Lincoln so complacently patted himself on the back for employing colored labor at all, he ought to remember that failure to obtain sufficient tips by reason of interference with traffic, slackness of travel, or hard times has brought many a porter's family face to face with genuine suffering—even when he wore four and five service stripes on his coat-sleeve. That under these circumstances porters have yielded so little to temptation that their record for fidelity and honesty and for heroic service in accidents is admirable, is plainly no fault of Lincoln's son. The descendants of the men the father freed have long been exploited, overworked—often without sleep enough for long stretches to keep a men well—and underpaid besides by the company of which the emancipator's son has been the head.—New York Evening Post. The campaign that was begun among the colored schools by Mrs. Helena Holley, under the direction of Superintendent Horn, for the bettermont of health conditions among the colored children, was greeted with enthusiasm by the pupils. The pupils of six colored schools met at the Colored High school where they were gathered in a large hall. The Health hymn was distributed among them, and with the first few chords' struck on a piano, the song was taken up and carried through splendidly, the true musical instinct of the race rapidly caught the rhythm, and thus the message of the words was crystallized into their thought through the pleasing medium of the tune, which was Tipperary. The ladies making up the party were very much pleased with the results of their efforts. The party was out all day, visiting the several colored ward schools, and teaching the willing little dusky students the catchy song—Houston Post. the evidences of racial friendship and good will which exist in the majority of communities. And Negroes imitate white men closely; if white people break the law, drink and gamble, Negroes will; if white people are sober, law-abiding and industrious, Negroes will be. Counseling the Negroes Mr. Washington advised them to stay in the country where the soil and the rain and the sun draw no color line. He urged his hearers not to live in a knapsack, but to settle down and to get property. He told them that fifty years the white man had been carrying the Negro on his back and that he was getting tired. He bade them consider how they could use at home what they had learned at school. And he advised them not to talk about white people, but to talk to them, to make friends with them. The government of India has ap pointed an expert to make an exhaustive study of the white ants of that country, which completely destroy all books with which they come in contact if not detected in time. The problem of giving southeastern Italy an adequate water supply, which has been studied since Roman times, is about to be solved by the construction of an aqueduct to cost about $25,000,000. As a rule employees in breweries, tanneries and printing-ink factories are immune from consumption. Turpentine works and rope works are a protection from rheumatism. Workers in copper mines need not fear typhoid. Wild horses in Arabia will not admit a tame horse among them; but the wild horses of South America endeavor to decoy domesticated horses from their masters, and seem eager to welcome them.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915. OF CREPE DE CHINE DRESS MATERIAL THAT GIVES THE BEST OF SERVICE. Design Shown Here Is One That WILL Work Out in Most Effective Fash- lon—Smartly Attractive in Every Way. After the seamstress who comes by the day has folded up her tape measure and stolen away, leaving you in a kneeling attitude weeding the carpet of the tangle of pins and threads that have grown in acreage during her week's sojourn in the sewing room, with what relief do you open the closet door and view the row of fresh new frocks within, complete to the last button, and representing prophecies of sartorial perfection when you shall put them on with the hat and shoes and other accessories and walk abroad. This is well worth all the trials of the dressmaker's stay, and gives that pleasant sense of support every woman an feels in the possession of a well-stocked wardrobe. Perhaps you have not quite decided on a design for the white crepe de chine frock you want her to make when she comes to you, snipping around your neck with ice scissors and directing your movements through lips closed grimly over a bristling row of pins. Almost everyone plans for a white crepe de chine dress, knowing the real service it gives. Here is a design that may help. It is happily suited to a development in this material and fashioned on smartly attractive lines. Prettily contrasting is the upper part of the blouse and a skirt yoke of the same material marked off in navy-blue cross bars. The figured goods does not show below the bust line and is cut on the order of a sleeveless vest. The lower portion of the blouse consists of a deep band of plain crepe de chine lined in folds; each one fastened down with a button. The crepe is the plain white crepe flare gracefully over the wrists, while a broad faring THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY collar of sheer batiste rolls away from the neck. The skirt shows a yoke of the cross-bar extending to the hip line. It is not smoothly fitted, but mounted at the belt with a scant line of gathers. Then the plaited depth is added with each plait buttoned down to the yoke to correspond with the treatment of the blouse. The line described, however, is not a straight one, but starts at the waist line in front with the sides sloping downward to the hips, then up again to the center back. A single pink rose at the waist adds a decidedly French touch—Lillian E. Young in the Washington Post. Wear Better. Mattresses and pillows will wear longer and look better if they are covered with muslin. This not only protects the ticking proper, but there is no chance of the stripes of the ticking showing through the bed linen. The covers are easily slipped off and laundered, insuring a more sanitary bed. DESIGNS FOR THE SUMMER Afternoon and Garden Frocks Are Elaborately Flower Sprinkled and Embroidered. Silver thread lace and perky little bows of silk are usually combined in the trimming of new dance frocks, and the popular colors are Elizabeth blue, peach pink, corn yellow and orchid mauve. The afternoon and garden party frocks must be made of the new soft linens, volles or supple silks. They are flower sprinkled and embroidered in a manner that would have delighted the heart of Madame Pompadour. Fashion went straight to the old-fashioned gardens of colonial days for her designs, for we find garlands, bowknots and wreaths of mignonette, moss roses, for-get-me-nots, primrose and spice pins combined in a truly artistic manner. Costumes of this type must be completed by garden hats of straw, crepe, taffeta or lace, with wide, drooping brims and flower trimming, or perhaps you will prefer the Victorian poke bon- L Novelty frock and bolero of plaid taffetta closing at the front with a passamenteerie ornament; side point- ed plaited tunic skirt. Side lace patent leather boots, ostrich trimmed helmet hat. WHEN HOT DAYS ARE HERE Materials for Summer Dresses Are Rem- markably Pretty, and a Wide Choice Is Allowed. There are remarkably dainty and pretty white cotton fabrics at small cost, and the woman who does not have to count the cost can revel in exquisite batistes, organlies, mulls and lawns, which in high-priced quali- ties are almost as sheer and fine as cohweb. There are white volles and crepes in plain, embroidered, striped and dotted effects, in both inexpensive and high priced qualities, and batiste in plain and embroidered effects, and dotted swisses and organdies in a tiny floral or eyetel design. In plain white fabrics there are Indian, Persian and French lawns, handkerchief linen, Paris mull and washable transparent organdies. A touch of embroidery adds a distinctive touch to the frock of white cotton. Insertions and edgings of val lace look well on a dress of organdie, lawn or handkerchief linen. Sheer cotton crepe striped in a hair line of white silk is pretty trimmed with bands of picot sedged white taffeta ribbon. White net, either plain or embroidered, is an excellent material, as lends itself so readily to ruchings, ruffles, box plaitings, etc. Net fountaining embroidered at the lower part in dots and finished with a fine line of braid are not expensive and make up extremely well. Tulle is an excellent material for dressy afternoon and evening gowns. Sometimes different colored tulle vests a foundation of taffeta or chiffon. For instance, a foundation skirt of white chiffon may be first velled with dark gray tulle, then with rose pink, and above the pink light gray. The hem should be finished with a band of gray velvet. A band of velvet, especially black, is a smart finish for the edge of skirts of white or cream bistate, or gandie, lace or chiffon. Separate waists of organdie, handkerchief linen and fine cotton stuffs are in a great variety. Among the most popular cotton materials for skirt and coat suits are gabardine, cotton faille, pique, honeycomb cottonts and cotton cheviots. White wash silks are smart striped in a broad band of black, dark blue, purple, dull red, bright blue, soft cool greens, odd shades in brown, including wood, chocolate and tobacco. Veil Attached to Parasol A novelty of the season is the parasol with vell attached. Yes, the vell is draped from the edge of the parasol rather than from the hat. The effect is most unique, but one cannot help wondering what will happen to the vell when the parasol is closed up. Of course, one would be able to manage it at home, but suppose one tried to close it in a crowded shop. It is a safe wager that the vell and the owner's temper would be damaged in the proceeding. Sleeves long and close fitting are finished with white flaring cuffs. net in a color that matches the pinks, blues or greens of old porcelain. In variably these have streamers of ribbon velvet or ribbon and clusters of tiny multi-colored flowers arranged about the crown or brim. Have you noticed the chic little jackets of taffeta or falle which are being worn with afternoon frocks of wash materials? They are sleeveless apologies for coats, but they give "something different" to the summer wardrobe. The smartest designs have high collars across the back of the neck and are edged with silk-covered cord. The very incarnation of youth are the tulle frocks, garlanded with flowers, which the members of the younger set will wear to summer dinners and dances. The ample skirts are made of layer upon layer of the cloudlike material, and the bodices are just wisps of tulle held over the shoulders with straps of brillants or ropes of flowers. Some of the debutantes are wearing hip hoop skirts beneath these crinoline dresses. Taffeta bodices are worn with white organdie skirts. Prepared Hastily or Carelessly a Great Part of Its Finer Flavor Will Be Lost. The very best method of bolling asparagus is first to wash, scrap and tie into a bundle, and then plunge the stalks into a vessel of bolling water, allowing the tips to come above the water. The steam will be sufficient to cook these tender parts. Serve on toast or with melted butter. In Europe a little butter is placed on the edge of the plate and the hot head of asparagus dipped into it before eating, but in this country a white sauce usually accompanies this dish. An economical way, and when there are children a more convenient way also, is to cut the tender parts into short lengths and cook in the least quantity of salted water possible. It should be done in about 20 minutes, when it is taken from the liquor and the latter thickened with a little flour, butter and cream. The asparagus is laid upon toasted bread and the sauce poured over. In this way one gets the full benefit of every bit of the vegetable while the tougher portions can be made into a nice asparagus soup. To make this, cook the stalks in salted water until tender and press through a sieve. Put two cupfuls of milk over the fire or milk and a white stock mixed. When it boils, stir in two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter thoroughly rubbed together, by pouring the scalding milk over gradually. Put over the fire, and if found too thick when brought to a boil thin with hot milk. Add the asparagus pulp. Season with salt and pepper, then strain into the soup tureen. Asparagus omelet makes a delicious dish for either luncheon or breakfast, and is a good way of using up cold asparagus that is insufficient for making into a salad. Make a plain omelet with three eggs, three tablespoonfuls of hot water and salt and pepper to taste. Add the water and the seasoning to the yolks and beat in the whites at the last. Pour into a hot buttered frying pan and cook slowly. To test whether an omelet is cooked sufficiently press with the finger. If it comes away clean the omelet is ready to serve. Turn upon a hot platter and have ready the asparagus heated in a little cream or thickened milk. Fold over and serve garnished with parsley. Strawberry Custard. Now that strawberries are in their season one likes to find new ways of serving, and coming across this recipe, it sounded "quite good," so I am going to send it in, writes a correspondent. One that does not care for so large a recipe can halve it. Select the finest, freshest berries; hull, wash and drain carefully. Turn them into a deep glass dish, sprinkle each layer with powdered sugar, and just before serving pour over a cold boiled custard made with the yolks of six eggs, one quart of milk, one cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt and one teapoonful of lemon extract. Whip the whites to a very stiff froth, add three tablespoonfuls of sugar and drop in large spoonfuls in a shallow pan of boiling water. When cooked lift them out carefully. Cucumbers in Brown Gravy Prepare half a dozen medium-sized cucumbers and cut them into thick slices, place them in ice water, let stand half an hour, drain, simmer in unseasoned beef stock until tender, then skim out the cucumbers and lay them in a hot vegetable dish. Cook one tablespoonful of browned flour in one tablespoonful of butter, add the stock, stir until thick and smooth, season with one teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet, one-third teaspoonful of onion juice and pepper and salt to taste. Pour the sauce over the cucumbers before serving. Strawberry and Rhubarb Bisc Strawberry and Rhubarb Pie. Have you ever tried strawberries in rhubarb pie? I substituted strawberries for part of the rhubarb in a pie yesterday, and the result quickly disappeared. The following is the recipe: One cupful finely cut rhubarb, one cupful strawberries, one cupful sugar, one egg, two tablespoonfuls flour, butter. Mix rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and beaten egg and let it stand half an hour. Add butter and flour rubbed together. Bake with two crusts—Boston Globe. Baisin:Apple Tapioca One cupful pearl taploca, two cupfuls apples, one cupful raisins, two cupfuls brown sugar, one-half teaspoonful butter, two cupfuls water; soak taploca in one-half cupful of cold water an hour; cut apples in quarters, lay in baking dish, with sugar, taploca and water mixed and turned over them the last thing after other ingredients have been added to them. Bake an hour in hot oven. Serve without cream. Makes rich pudding. Baked Tomatoes Cover the bottom of an earthen dish with ripe tomatoes sliced; then a layer of bread crumbs, seasoned with peper, salt and butter, then another layer of tomatoes, and so continue till the dish is filled, letting the topmost layer be of bread crumbs. Bake about one-half hour. To Make Fig Filling This filling can be used in almost any layer cake. Take a pound of figs, chop fine and put into a stewpan on the stove; pour over them a teacupful of water and add a half cupful of sugar. Cook all together until soft and smooth. When cold spread between layers of cake. Distinction of Terms "Of course you favor the uplift?" "I don't know," replied the busy man. "I'm a plain, practical person. Sometimes I think the uplift depends too much on literature and science. What I favor is the boost." Act of Goodness Its Own Reward. Let us never forget that an act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it—Maurice Maeterlinck. LIFE'S LITTLE JESIS Belgian Refugee Pained at Cheers Given by Students at His Descrip- tion of Ruined Louvain. Professor Poussin, the Belgian refugee professor at Harvard, was pained at a dinner in his honor by the aplause and cheers which greeted his description of ruined Louvain and wrecked Liege. But when it was explained to Professor Poussin that the Harvard professors and students had a very slight knowledge of French—he had spoken in French—his perplexity vanished, and he smiled. "I see," he said, "I see. It is like the case of Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith, an American, said to his wife at a Paris restaurant: "Strange! I spoke to the proprietor in French, and he didn't understand me." "Well," said Mrs. Smith, "no wonder. He's a Frenchman." Genuine Art. "That man says he wants his picture to look perfectly natural," said the photographer's assistant. "Make it as handsome as possible," replied the proprietor. "But he insists that he doesn't want the picture to flatter him." "He won't think it flatters him. He'll think that at last somebody has managed to catch the way he really looks." Nearly Caught Him Mrs. Bacon—Where were you last night, John? Mr. Bacon (in alarm)—Why, dear? "I heard you talking in your sleep." "You did? What did I say, dear?" "You said somebody had 'cleaned you up good,' that's what you said." "Oh, yes; I was down to a Turkish bath, dear." No Good to Anybody "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good," said the ready-made philosopher. "I don't exactly catch the drift of your remarks," replied the man from Kansas. "But it sounds in a general way as if you might have reference to a regular cyclone." Not to Be Thought Of "What sort of fellow is Dubson?" "I don't like to criticize a neighbor, but I'd hate to owe him any money." "You mean he would ask you for it?" "Not only that, but he'd ask me for it in such a way I would probably get mad and pay him." Why He Was Shy. "Thought you were to have that second installment ready yesterday on your car?" said the collector for the automobile concern. "I did have it," was the reply, "but I was arrested for speeding, and the judge seemed to need the money more than you did." Mr. Portleigh—What are you going through all those crazy movements for? Mrs. Portleigh—I'm merely taking steps to reduce my weight. Plea for the Prisoner "We are married now, your honor?" "Yes," said the judge, "you are now this man's lawful wife." And then he added absent-mindedly: "The jury recommends that clemency be shown."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Indignant Denial "Are you going to rusticate this summer, Mrs. Comeup?" "Of course, we're not going to rust any way. We are going to take a handsome country place to shine." Doesn't Want to Find Out "The automobile is a constant source of expense, isn't it?" "I don't know. I never discuss those things with the friends who place their cars at my service." Where He Can Get Away With It. "He has an artistic temperament." "What do you mean by that?" "He never abuses any but members of his own family." As the Saving Je "An obstinate sort of fellow is Dub- waite." "Yes." "He won't even let a conductor tell him where to get off." SOME DIFFERENCE AT HOME Small Boy Not at All Disturbed by Father Reaching for Strap While Aboard Trolley Car. They were speaking of the bright remarks of the little folks the other evening when this anecdote was recalled by Congressman Henry George of New York. Recently a woman entered a crowded trolley where a man and a very small boy were sitting side by side. Instantly the man offered his seat to the woman and seted a strap. "Isn't that gentleman your father, my boy?" gently asked the woman passenger, breaking into conversation with the youngster. "Yes, ma'am," answered the boy. "We are goin' to the zoo." "Well, since he is so much older than you, why don't you give him your seat?" remarked the kindly hearted passenger. "Don't you dislike to see him reaching for the strap?" "Not in a trolley car," was the prompt rejoinder of young America, "but I do at home." He'll Think They Own a Car. "See here, Louise, aren't you ashame of yourself? The first invitation you are sending to the adjunct is all soiled with petroleum." "Why should I be ashamed about it? I did it purposely, to show him that our family is not poor, since we can afford to use it."—Humoristicke Listy (Prague). Not So Sweeping Mrs. Styles—I see New York will conduct a special school for the instruction of street sweepers. Mr. Styles—It will be a failure. "Why so?" "Because the women are not wearing those long trails any more." "Does she love her husband?" "It's the kind of love that you can send on a postcard." Queer! "You might as well admit your guilt," said the detective. "The man whose house you broke into positively identifies you as the burglar." "That's funny," said the burglar. "What's funny?" asked the detective. "How could he identify me when he had his head under the bedclothes all the time I was in his room?" asked the burglar. Turning It Around. "What's your boy crying for so upstairs?" "Oh, his mother shut him up in his room." "What for?" "She always does things by contraries. When we have company she thinks a child should be heard and not seen." How It Happened Mrs. Gotham—What! Another new hat, John? Mr. Gotham—Yes, dear. "But you couldn't possibly have worn out that other hat, already." "I know it. But the car porter and the boy at the barber shop wore 'out for me." Answered. "Young man," said the irate old gentleman at the lunch counter to the hard looking youth who was inhaling his soup with a gurgling sound and splashing it about the whie. "what are you A. Naw?" recalled the soup juggler. "I'm a New Haven guy, sir!"—Harvard Lampoon. A Linguist's Advantage "Of course, a diplomat should learn a great many languages." "It is desirable," replied Senator Sorghum, "if not essential, for a diplomat to learn many languages. The close study required may prevent him from talking too much in any of them." At the Cottage He—I didn't know it was so late. Are you sure that clock is going? Feminine Voice (from above)—It's going a whole lot faster than you are, young man—Penn State Froth.
