DOCTORLAYS DOWN MARRIAGE RULES Declares Ideal Mating Is When the Man Is 21 and the Girl 18. WOULD HAVE CONGRESS TAKE ACTION Says Rapidly Increasing Number of Girls Today Look at Virtue as Joke and Are Ready to Jump Into So-Called 'Merry Whirl'. San Francisco, Cal.—No man should marry a girl more than 16 years younger than himself. No woman should marry a man more than eight years younger than herself. The ideal marriage is when the man is 21 and the girl 18. Couples who wed at 31 and 28 have had too much chance to become cynical and worldly. These are the rules for marriage laid down by Dr. Albert E. Mowry of the Hospital College of Medicine, Chicago, in an address before the ninth International Purity Congress in the municipal auditorium. Dr. Mowry would have these rules enforced by national legislation. Lauds School Day Romances. "A rapidly increasing number of girls today look at virtue as a joke and are ready to jump into the so-called 'merry whirl' at the slightest provocation or without any provocation at all," said Dr. Mowry. "These girls are generally of the pretty, healthy, voluptuous type, best fitted to become mothers. School day romances always make the best, most lasting and happiest marriages." The course of the purity congress did not run smooth at Tuesday's sessions. In the morning Emma Goldman, publisher and preacher of anarchistic doctrine, and her manager, Ben Reitman, took issue with the speakers on the morals of the United States army. In the afternoon Dr. Julius Rosenstein of San Francisco accused the congress of evading the real issue in not getting at unregulated prostitution as the basic cause of sexual disease. Denounces Gewgaws. Women, their pride, their vanity, their love of finery and bargain hunting, received labs and elbow shots from the Rev. Albion Smith, traveler, author, lecturer and preacher. He said: "The jewelry, finery, silks and satins that women wear, to say nothing of peekaboo waists and short skirts are an open admission of women's inferiority to men, and they wear these gewgaws to make up for their mental deficiency. Beware, ladies! If you would not be thought inferior to men wear stiff shirts and derby hats. Make Ideals True. "When men begin to realize that womanhood's greatest charm is located above her chin, only then will our ideals be true." Among the other speakers were: Arthur H. Bartlett, assistant district attorney of Milwaukee, on "The Red-light Evil"; Euclid B. Brick, Leutenant colonel of the medical corps, U. S. Dr. on "Diseases in the Army," and Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stanford university, on "The Eugenics of Militarism." Police Reveal Tale of Cruelty. New York City.—A story of cruelty that rivals the fantasies of Poe was revealed to police when they broke into an East Side tenement and rescued Mrs. Teresa Planeta and her two-year-old baby from a four-year imprisonment. Both are physical wrecks. Four years ago, Mrs. Planeta told police, Joseph, her husband, found a photograph of an old sweetheart of hers in a trunk. Since then, she said, he has taken 'her out of the squall flat but six times. THE GAZETTE TEUTON ARMIES ARE AT WARSAW'S GATES Heavy Guns Are Bombarding the Outer Fortifications of Polish Capital. MORALE OF RUSSIAN FORCES IS BROKEN Prisoners Taken by Germanic Allies Has Increased to More Than 80,000, Huge Stores of War Materials Being Added to Booty. London, England—Germany's heavy guns are bombarding the outer fortifications of Warsaw. The male population of Riga is in fight. Every man in Lublin is close on the heels of the retreating Russian army. The Lublin-Cholm railway is being demolished by shells, while the German infantry is eight miles from the tracks. Train loads of war material, which the Russian army was trying to save in the impending fall of Warsaw, are held up by the bombardment of this one of the two remaining lines from the Polish capital. The number of prisoners taken by the Germanic allies has increased to more than 80,000 in the last three days. Huge stores of war materials and large numbers of guns have been added to the booty. The morale of the Russian army is broken, Berlin reports. The German circle has been tightened on three sides of Warsaw. On the fourth side, the east, the Germans are pressing forward in an effort to cut off the last retreat of the czar's millions. Von Mackensen and Vcn Hindenburg are smashing forward from north and south in a gigantic effort, not only to break the Russian grip on all of Poland, but also to coop and destroy the Russian army, to which has been added in this last stand the imperial household troops of Petrograd and Moscow. Russian Front Broken. Further successes at every point are recorded for the German and Austrian troops. In the very shadow of their fortresses at Ivangorod and Nove Georgievsk the Russian front has been broken and the Russian defenses are being shattered by German artillery. Little is being heard from Petrograd. Already semi-official reports circulated there, with the apparent inspiration of the general staff, admit that the situation, so far as Warsaw is concerned, is hopeless. Articles by experts with unofficial connection with the cear's main headquarters find bitter fault; with the western allies, charging de沙ion of Russia in her hour of need. While still retreating in the Courland and Kovno governments, the Russians further south have come to their last stand—the Vistula and its fortresses. Their most tremendous effort is being concentrated in the vicinity of Lublin and the important strategic railroad, which already is under fire of the German artillery. Berlin reports that the fall of Lublin is momentarily expected. The Austro-German forces under Von Mackenens have broken through the Russian line at Skrzymskil, Niedrawika and Mala, southwest of the city, and are rapidly following up their attack. Russian Losses Heavy. On the entire Warsaw front the Russian losses are reported as unprecedented, both in killed, prisoners and material. In the series of great battles now being fought out before the Polish capital the Russians are throwing their last reserves into the effort to blunt the Teutonic drives. The Austrians have left only a fringe of men in the Italian theater while bringing their entire strength to bear upon the Russians in the east. The German armies under Von Hindenburg have battered their way through the Russian outer defenses of the fortified city of Rosan, and, holding their ground, have repulsed violent counter attacks along the Narow by great forces operating on the fortresses of Pultusk and Novo Georgievsk. At last reports the Germans were fighting to complete their occupation of Rosan and continue their drive southward. Greatest Battle of All. The greatest battle of all, however, is nearing a decision on the plains before Lublin. Driven from line after line of trenches all the way from Krasnostav, where the Austro-Germans made their first breach in the Russian front last last week, the Russians are at the very gates of Lublin, fighting back viciously in a final magnificent effort to save Poland. On this, the key front of the entire eastern campaign, desperate fighting is raging day and night. Thousands of reserves are being thrown into fill the continuous gaps being cut in the Russian lines. But in regard to this fighting Berlin is most confident. It is rumored there that the populace of Lublin already is in flight, following the grand duke's order that all males in the city attach themselves to the rear of the Russian forces. In the Courland the Germans are easily within 40 miles of Riga, the great Russian naval base. To Utilize Convicts. Washington, D. C.—Attorney General Gregory announced that he is planning to put the 2,000 federal convicts in the Atlanta and Fort Leavenworth penitentiaries at work making munitions of war, except explosives, for the United States army. The attorney general believes the manufacture of shoes, uniforms, saddles, harness and other war supplies will be of greater value to the government than anything else the convicts may do. In his opinion it would be unsafe for the convicts to make explosives. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SOJOURNER TRUTH HOUSE. Urban League to Open Home For De- linquent Girls in October The committee on the Sojourner Truth House For Delinquent Colored Girls in New York has decided to open the home on Oct. 1. This committee has been at work for the last two years, trying to mold sentiment in favor of increasing the state's facilities for caring for colored girls and trying to get the private city homes to accept a larger number of colored girls. As a result of its activities the state has increased the state institution at Hudson by an extra cottage, thus affording accommodations for twenty-five more colored girls, and one of the private institutions in the city has arranged its accommodations so that it can now receive seventy-five colored girls. At the time when the Sojourner Truth House committee started its activities there were at least ninety colored girls who should have been sent to institutions, but who were returned to their homes or old environment because of the inability of the judges of the court to dispose of their cases properly in the existing institutions. There are now at least fifty vacancies which are not filled because delinquent colored girls of institutional character are not appearing before the judges of the children's court rapidly enough to keep these places filled. The type of the house to be opened by the Sojourner Truth House committee is on the order of that of the house of Consolation for Catholic girls. It will take girls for periods ranging from two to four months. They will be kept under the observation of a competent trained woman who will decide at the expiration of their term whether they should be returned to their homes, be placed out is desirable families or be returned to the court for commitment. In other words, this home is to accommodate the colored girl near delinquent who has not got over the verge where she can be considered immoral. The home will be like a little family of twelve or fourteen persons, with the superintendent in charge at the head of the household. The Sojourner Truth House committee was formed some two and one-half years ago by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes following an investigation made of the need for institutional care for delinquent colored girls in one of the "fellows" of the league. MISS HUDSON MAKES FINE RECORD AT PRATT INSTITUTE Brilliant Daughter of R. B. Hudson Graduates With High Rank. Brooklyn, — Miss R. Leola Hudson, the talented daughter of Professor and Mrs. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., graduated from Pratt institute in June from the course in household science and household arts. Miss Hudson has made an enviable record throughout her entire school life, starting in the city schools of her home city at the age of five. She completed the prescribed city school course at an early age, leading her class of eighteen and receiving the compliments from the city school board by the president of the board, who presented the diplomas on the night of her graduation. Entering Selma university, she completed the normal course in three years at the head of her class of fifty-eight young men and women, and the subject matter and delivery of her valedictory address was the cause of many complimentary expressions from the educators, leaders and visitors present on that occasion. Miss Hudson afterward entered Speiman seminary, completing the preparatory college course, and remained in Speiman four years more, taking her college course in Atlanta Baptist college, now Morehouse college, again receiving the highest honors of her class. During her course in college she won many prizes, and on the day of her graduation her parents and friends were made happy because of the honors won. The prizes received and the complimentary remarks made by the president as she was called several times to receive them presented a thrilling scene. Not being satisfied with what she had accomplished, she entered Pratt institute, in this city, for the study of household science and household arts. For two years she has worked hard in this institute and, being the only colored student in her division, has sustained her former reputation. So thorough was her work in chemistry while in college that in a few weeks after entering Pratt she showed her superior ability in her recitation and was requested by a number of her classmates to tutor them in this branch that they might be able to keep up with the work in the classroom. The dean says of Miss Hudson, "She has raised the standard for colored girls in Pratt, has shown a fine attitude, is one of the best colored women we ever had in the course, and I can recommend her without reserve." Her work in all the schools she has attended has been up to the standard, and the record made should be an inspiration to others. Woman's League Fresh Air Camp. The Woman's Improvement league at Indianapolis has been successful in raising sufficient funds to open the fresh air camp for the summer as it has done in former years. Mrs. A. C. Simmons is president, to whom, applicants for entrance should communicate. A physician's certificate should accompany each application. Mrs. Carter, who is well known for her friendly disposition, is the matron of the camp. LEADER AMONG THE METHODISTS Minister at Waters A. M. E. Church Receives Unanimous Indemnity of Methodist Conference For Promotion to the Episcopate—Well Qualified by Education and Long Experience. Baltimore. — Twenty-eight years in the ministry and many years a member of the Baltimore conference places the Rev. A. I. Gaines, D. D., of this city in the front rank of ministers in the A. M. E. church. The services rendered for his church and race bring the Rev. Mr. Gaines prominently in line for promotion to the highest position in the gift of the A. M. E. denomination. At the recent session of the Baltimore conference held at Waters A. M. E. church Dr. Gaines received the commendation of his conference by being REV. A. L. GAINES, D. D. elected at the head of the delegation to the next general conference, to be held in Philadelphia in May, 1916. He will have the backing of his conference for the episcopacy. The conference went on record as being favorable to Dr. Gaines for any place he desired in the gift of the general conference. He is one of the best known ministers in the A. M. E. church. He has been a delegate to the general conference for a number of years and has served on important positions in the general conference, has rendered valuable services to the people as a preacher and has brought into the church many persons who were converted under his ministry. He is an aggressive and progressive pastor, not only rendering service to the churches, but has worked for the entire race. He is well trained, coming from Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga., and then from Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta. His first work was done in Atlanta, where he made many friends. He is popular with the masses. Leaving Atlanta, he served in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., the leading charges in the Virginia conference. Thirteen years ago he was transferred to the Baltimore conference, with headquarters in this city. He served Bethel church for five years and served at Trinity church for five years. Three years ago he was sent to Waters A. M. E. church, where he is serving now, and had the pleasure of entertaining the eighty-eighth session of the Baltimore conference. Those who had been in the conference for years declare it was the finest entertainment that had ever been accorded the conference in its history. Not only is Dr. Gaines a good preacher and pastor, but he is a strong advocate for his race, taking advantage of every opportunity to present the claims of his people. He is a good writer and orator. He ranks in ability with such men as the late Bishop Grant, Arnett and Derrick and W. J. Gaines, Handy and Salter. Just at this time in the history of the race men of such keen foresight are needed, and the African Methodist church will recognize this need in the promotion of the Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines. In the cause of education no man has been more liberal in contributions to the schools. He has worked hard for Wilberforce university, Kittrell college and Morris Brown university. Nor has he overlooked Allen university, Paul Quinn college and other institutions of his denomination. Dr. Gaines is an able advocate of the cause of missions, and this has been shown from each charge he has held by the liberal contributions to the missionary department. Whenever the race has made a call he has responded and can be approached by his people in every condition and stage of life. His home is open to his people. He has a congenial wife, who is ever ready to render service. Texas Clubwomen Meet In Houston The Texas State Federation of Colored Women's clubs held its tenth annual meeting at the Antoch Baptist church in Houston for three days, beginning on Saturday, July 3. Over fifty clubs were represented, and the reports were highly encouraging. Mrs. William Alphin of Waco presided. THE VIRGINIA EXPOSITION OPENS ON SCHEDULE TIME President Wilson Issues Proclamation Commencing Progress of Our Race. Bv N. BARNETT DOPSON By N. BARNETT DODSON. Richmond, Va.-With lively music, enthusiastic crowds, beautiful decorations and the stars and stripes waving a hearty welcome, the Virginia State and National exposition to show the achievements of the Negro race since 1865 was formally opened in this city on Monday, July 5. The exposition will continue until July 27, which gives ample opportunity for the most critical and thorough inspection of the great mass of exhibits from most all parts of the state and country generally. The Hon. Giles B. Jackson, head of the Negro Historical association, under whose auspices the exposition is being held, was all smiles on the opening day, when, according to program, six bands of music arrived on time and two others reported as on the way. Mr. Jackson has come to the exposition to exhibit of race progress the state has ever witnessed. Great credit is also due his associates on the commission, who have stood lovingly by the president in working out the many intricate problems connected with the mammoth celebration of fifty years of race struggle and achievement to the United States. The exhibits from out of town which attracted the crowds the first day were the following: Those from the Mansasas Industrial school, Henrico Public school, Richmond public schools, St. Paul's Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Virginia School For the Deaf and Blind, Newport News; Manual Training school, Hagerstown, Md. State School for Negro Dear, Raleigh, N. C.; Shaw university, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, American Tobacco company, St. Emma Industrial and Agricultural college, Rock Castle, Va.; two art galleries, representing the work of colored artists throughout the country; historical exhibition, showing the Negro's progress in historical research, and many others. The exhibits are basket work, wagons, buggies, steel tools, polished woods and almost every imaginable thing. The women have a department all to themselves, and they have on display the things that women generally make by hand and with needle. To show his personal interest in the exposition and that of the national government President Wilson has issued the following proclamation: "A national exposition in commemoration of the achievements of the Negro race during the last fifty years will be held in Richmond, Va., from July 5 to 27, 1915. The occasion has been recognized as of national importance by congress through an appropriation of $55,000 to aid in its promotion and consummation. This sum is being expended, by the terms of the appropriation, under the direction of the governor of Virginia. "The exposition is under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Industrial association. The action of congress in this matter indicates very happily the desire of the nation as well as of the people of Virginia to encourage the Negro in his efforts to solve his industrial problem. "The National Negro exposition is designed to demonstrate his progress in the last fifty years and to emphasize his opportunities. As president of the United States I bespeak the active interest of the nation in the exposition and trust that every facility will be extended to the leaders whose earnest work has made the undertaking possible." NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS. How the "Grandfather" Clause Works in the Old North State. All manner of schemes are being devised by politicians who wish to continue to deprive the colored citizens of their right to vote, especially in those southern states which operate the illegal "grandfather" clause. For instance, in North Carolina it is claimed that the "grandfather" clause in that state will not be affected by the recent ruling of the federal supreme court, because it applied only between 1900 and 1908. It will be remembered that the North Carolina amendment extended to white men unable to meet the literacy test the right to vote until 1908, when the educational requirement went into effect as applying to all. The "grandfather" clause now protects only those who could not read or write prior to 1908. Many voters took refuge under that clause and went upon what is called "the roll of honor." North Carolina held that the white man by continued employment of the franchise was able to use it understandingly, though unlettered, but that Negroes should read and write. However much some may plot against the just operation of the supreme law of the land, right is going to win in the long run. The battle for human rights under the federal constitution is on, and the colored citizen is going to do his part of the fighting. Business League Shows Our Progress. The New York World in a recent issue, speaking editorially of the success of the National Negro Business league and the progress of the Negro, says: "It is a mistake to think that book, play or moving picture, dealing with the brutalities of the reconstruction period, can do him harm. Such resurrections of the past only emphasize the distance he has traveled since then and the certainty that he will go further. THAW BACK WITHIN THE MATERNAL FOLD Slayer of Stanford White Is at Home for First Time in Nine Years. RECEIVES OVATION ON HIS ARRIVAL Throws Himself Into His Mother's Arms After Ride in Auto Through Cheering Crowd to Handsome Mansion in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Harry K. Thaw is at home for the first time in nine years. A tremendous ovation was tendered him on his arrival at East Liberty at 6:25 Monday afternoon as he emerged from the train which brought him from Philadelphia. A police escort, under the personal direction of Chief of Police Matthews, forced a way for him through the cheering crowd to a waiting automobile in which he was driven at a 50-mile an hour clip through the fashionable East End district to his home in Beechwood boulevard. Under the porte coche of the handsome mansion, his mother, attired in an all white gown for the first time since the shooting of Stanford White, received him with open arms. Leaping from the car, while the crowd darted over the lawn from all directions. Thaw threw himself into his mother's arms. Swallowed Up in Throng. An instant later he was swallowed up in the throng. Fighting his way out, his face aglow with the excitement of the moment, he beckoned to him the party of newspapermen who had accompanied him from New York. "I want to say this," said Thaw, "to return to Pittsburgh has been my desire for, so long that I do not find words to express myself now I am at home, and also I want to thank my friends, so many of them, for helping toward this success that now I can name but one—my mother." Just within the door of the mansion Mrs. Thaw stood, her face wreathed in smiles. While Thaw was dragged off by the photographers for one last picture, she shook hands laughingly with the New York reporters, most of whom had followed her son, Nancy, once booting of Whitey's and were personally known to her. Then Thaw himself fought his way to the door. "Goodbye," he cried, shaking each of his old friends by the hand, "and thank you all." Back Within Mansion Fold. His mother held the door open for him as he greeted the last man. He waved his hands and then the door closed upon him. After nine years of fighting he was back within the maternal fold once more. An old-fashioned family reunion took place. Mrs. Thaw asked to be excused from making any statement or giving out the names of those who celebrated his liberation with Harry. Almost at the end of his journey home Thaw, in conversation with members of his party, gave expression to sentiments which may fairly be interpreted as meaning that he feels, as a sane man, he had ample justification for the tragic event of June 25, 1906, and that he finds in the verdict of the jury which set him free and complete vindication for his action. TWO FIRES ON WARSHIP CONFLAGRATIONS OF MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE U. S. DREADNAUGHT. Philadelphia, Pa.—Ready for her trial trip, the battle-hit Oklahoma was seriously damaged by fire of mysterious origin. The newest and most powerful of the dreadnaughts of the United States navy caught fire a few minutes after the workmen had left her decks as she lay at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding Co. in Camden. The first, discovered about 6 p. m., was under control at 9. A second blaze was discovered 15 minutes later, but was soon overcome. PROBES 'BREAD TRUST' STATE GOVERNMENT HEARS TESTIMONY IN THE ST. LOUIS OUSTER SUIT. St. Louis, Ill—Three brands of bread sold in St. Louis are different only in name; bread wagons bearing the names of seven different firms really belong to one company; the bids of seven bakeries for city contracts must first be approved by the American Bakery Co. This was the substance of testimony by Adolph Boettler, president of the American Bakery Co., at the initial hearing of the state's ouster suit against the so-called "bread trust" of St. Louis. Find Man's Body in Car. Toledo, O—Another unidentified body of a man, the second found in three days by police, is awaiting claimants. On the man's coat was a silver pin, a class emblem of Princeton university. Three men—L. S. Lynch, Erie, Pa., Joe Scherrif, St. Louis, and Jame Ryder, Philadelphia, are held by police. These men assert that the man found dead was drinking with them in the morning. They left him at upon and did not return to the box car until night. The man was dead then, they assert. IN UNION UNION OF MASSACHUSETTS SIMEON E. BALDWIN C. HARRIS & EWING Simeon E. Baldwin, former governor of Connecticut, has been mentioned for the place of counselor of the state department., left vacant by the appointment of Robert Lansing as secretary of state. He is now 78 years old. FRANK FOUGHT HIS CONVICT ATTACKER Man, Whose Throat Was Badly Gashed, Also Receives Cuts in Hands. CONDITION CONTINUALLY GROWS BETTER Says 'Don't Punish the Man Who Attacked Me; I Have Nothing to Fear; There Is Nothing Be-tween Me and God.' Milledgeville, Ga.—The condition of Leo M. Frank, whose throat was badly cut, continually grows better. He is resting well, having regained his normal pulse and shows every indication that he will recover. Dr. Glley Compton, the prison surgeon, says that the prognosis is favorable for Frank's recovery. In case no infection follows from the weapon of the would-be assassin, a knife used in cutting salt pork, and no rupture of vessels occurs from blood pressure or coughing spells, everything will likely go well with Frank and the wound will heal by first intention. In fighting off his assailant Frank got gashes in both of his hands from the same knife. The wounds are not bad, however. Everyone who has been at Frank's bedside comments on the fortitude exhibited by him almost in the face of death. For some time he thought he was going to die, but throughout he maintained a wonderful courage, never giving way to pain nor uttering a protest. Frank's strong constitution, which has helped him greatly throughout his fight for life in the courts of Georgia and the higher courts, has served him well again. Frank asked the prison doctors again if they thought he would live. "You have a good chance to recover," he was told. He smiled. "Don't punish the man who attacked me," he said. "I have nothing to fear. There is nothing between me and God. I will be able to prove to the world that I am innocent of the crime of which they accuse me if they give me a chance." William Green, the life convict who attacked Frank, appears quite composed as he lays on a cot in the rear of the big dormitory with his legs chained to a concrete post. According to Green's statement he has killed two men, Tobe Recee, eight years ago, in which case he was acquitted on a plea of self-defense, and O. S. Kitchens, three years ago, for which crime he was given a life sentence. Before the trial he was examined by a lunacy commission, which pronounced him same. Dr. L. M. Jones, superintendent of the state sanitarium, was on the commission. Green is 54 years old. Green said there was no plot among the prisoners to kill Frank. He said that he had an inspiration that he should kill Frank and that he alone was concerned in the attempt. He told of aiding in the butchery of hogs, how he had hidden a butcher's knife in his clothing, carried it to bed with him and then how he attacked Frank as the latter slept. Green admitted that he had talked with other convicts of the Frank case, but said that they had not influenced him in any way. He took all the blame for the attack on his own shoulders and said that while he thought at the time that he was doing right he now regretted his act. Five Bathers Drown. Chicago, Ill.—Five bathers, two women and three men, sank to death in Lake Michigan in Cornellia-st beach, while more than 100 bathers looked on helpless. The victims, according to the police, were Miss Laurie Dwyer, daughter of Joseph N. Dwyer, clerk of the probate court; Miss Nora May, Gustave H. Vetner, F. J. Kelly and Stanley Corlkoskey. The first four are believed to have driven to the beach in an automobile, which was found unattended after the police had learned of the drowning.

A long-suffering public is hopeful that Harry Thaw and the money which enabled him to attain freedom, may now be permitted to drop from the gaze of a burdened publicity. While American business men have been piling up an international trade balance of more than a billion dollars, the Wilson administration has piled up a thirty-five million deficit in the national finances. Governor Willis was not afraid to give up a pleasant vacation trip to the coast, which he deserves, and devote himself to solving the problems entrusted to his care. Democrats cannot understand how a "man can stay on the job" when pleasure calls him elsewhere. That's why all kinds of stories have been invented to account for the governor's change in his original plans. Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., has outlined an elaborate plan for the establishment of a Vigilance Committee, which is to be located at Washington, D. C., especially during the sessions of Congress, for the purpose of looking after all matters of importance to the race. This is something The Gazette urged, twenty years ago, and something that our people should have done long long ago. From Jan. 1 to July 1, thirty-four have been lynched, thus far, this year—twenty-four of our people and ten whites. Eight, or one-fourth of the total number, took place in Georgia. Six Afro-Americans and one white man were only CHARGED with assaulting women and the rest of the lynchings were on accusations of having stolen cotton, hogs, meat and cows. It looks as if this is to be one of the worst years, for many years, as far as lynching is concerned. IT DIDN'T DO IT. Standing at the elbow of President Wilson on the evening of Oct. 3, 1913, Congressman (now Senator) Underwood awaiting the signature of the president to his tariff bill said: "I have the utmost confidence in the new tariff law. I am absolutely confident that this law will reduce the cost of living in the United States." A recent report of the Department of Labor shows how fallacious was the forecast of Mr. Underwood. In a tabulation of the relative cost of fifteen articles not one was lowered in price on account of the lowering of duties by the Democratic tariff law. Only three were lower from any cause in 1914 than in 1912. Now when a Democrat is asked why the reduced tariff rates did not reduce the cost of living he will answer that the tariff has nothing at all to do with food prices. WANTED, A REPUBLICAN U. S. SENATE! Editorial comment throughout the country indicates that an unusual interest is manifest in the securing of a Republican United States senate next year. The community large extent concedes that the presidency and the house of representatives will be easily won next year, but knowing that these, important as they are, will be powerless, or at least greatly handicapped without the senate, there is under way a much stronger movement than is usually evident this far in advance of the campaign to win the body also. Thirty-two senators are to be elected next year to succeed fifteen Republicans and seventeen Democrats. To get a majority in the senate it will be at least necessary to capture at least nine of the seats now held by Democrats. Under ordinary conditions this might not be looked upon as an easy task, but conditions are not ordinary at present and the people generally are showing an impatience to get to the polls in order to reverse the present administration. There is a strong feeling that the Democratic senators from Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and West Virginia will be replaced by Republican senators and there are other states in which recent votes indicate an overwhelming Republican senate. A little extra effort will show a marked change in the senatorial lineup next year. A PECULIAR DECISION Roy Brown (white), who conducts a moving picture theatre in Greenfield, this state, contrary to the Ohio Civil Rights' law, (which the writer introduced and secured the enactment of when a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1894), "set off a section of his theatre for the exclusive use of Colored people and refused to allow them to occupy seats in other parts of the theatre." This, very naturally, resulted in a suit for damages which was filed by F. D. Patterson, Arliss Bailey and Archie Sharp, leading Afro-Americans of that little city. Strange as it may seem, Col. D. Q. Morrow, the Republican boss of Highland-co., in which Greenfield is located, and a man of state reputation in politics, is one of Brown's attorneys, while Attorneys Tinker of Chillicothe and Reilly of Greenfield, represent Messrs. Patterson, Bailey and Sharp in the case, the former being a Republican with a most promising future along political as well as legal lines. Judge Newby presided over the court during the trial of the case and whose decision is most republican, to say the least, is another Republican (?), we understand. Brown, the defendant in the case, through his attorneys admitted that he had discriminated as charged and offered two defenses on both of the which the court sustained him. The first was, that he was "granting substantially the same privileges for their use and excluding them from the rest of the theatre, he was only exercising control in its management; and that he was not infringing on the rights of anyone as long as he gave substantially the same privileges and accommodations to all." Our Ohio Civil Rights' law expressly forbids discrimination on the basis of race, color, etc. Brown admits discrimination and does infringe upon the rights of both the Colored and white people of that community, when he undertakes to segregate them in his place of amusement on the basis of race or color. Moreover, he will learn this, if indeed he does not know it now, when the case reaches a higher court to which Messrs. Patterson, Bailey and Sharp have notified him they intend carrying it. We did not believe that Ohio had a Republican Judge who could render so peculiar a decision in such a case and we feel that our voters of that county will not soon forget it or Judge Newby. Afro-Americans of the state of Ohio—men, women and children—will please remember Col. D. Q. Morrow of Highland county. "A LUNA PARK NEGRO." "A Luna Park Negro" is one who in the face of insult and discrimination, persists in spending his hard-earned money with the management of a public place that draws a color line against him and his people because of their race or color, or both, and that publicly insults and humiliates him and them, practically every day of the year. Even on the day selected for the alleged "emancipation celebration" heretofore, the misguided and selfish "Negroes" who went to Luna Park have been refused the use of the dance-hall and roller-skating rink until late in the day or evening, and the bathing-pool was boarded-over, or otherwise covered, preventing their use of it. As a matter of fact, the pool never yet has been open to our people on the so-called "emancipation day" or any other. Don't be "a Luna Park Negro!" We cannot believe that there are any of our local churches or lodges that could be invigued into selling tickets for the alleged "emancipation celebration," announced to be held at Luna Park, next month. Surely our church and lodge officials have too much self and race respect, manhood and womanhood, to permit of their doing anything of the kind. When Prof. Joel E. Spingarn, of the N. A. A. C. P., spoke in Cleveland, last year, at St. John's A. M. E. church he denounced in strong terms the "jim-crow Negro" and implored our people of this community to be MEN and WOMEN and to fight down insult and discrimination, on account of race or color or both, in all public places. He certainly did not urge us to place a PREMIUM upon such miserable mistreatment, by carrying thousands of dollars of our hard-earned money to color-line public places like Luna Park. That alleged "emancipation celebration" should be denounced by our pastors from their pulpits. Aren't there members of our local Ministers' Alliance courageous enough to do this? We shall see. Dr. G. A. Sissle is dead, it is true, but there certainly must be one or more ministers in this community with the manhood, self and race respect he exhibited when he denounced that Luna Park "emancipation celebration," a few years ago. THE ROSENWALD FUND. Materially Assists Us in Errecting Southern Rural School-Houses. Tuskegee, Ala.—Clinton J. Calloway head of the extension department of Tuskegee, in an address, June 22 stated that 21 school-houses had been built in six Alabama counties since October, 1914, at a cost of $219,104.8 of which amount Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago had contributed $6,191.39. Mr. Calloway explained the terms whereby that gentleman would give approximately $70,000 for the erection of 200 rural school-houses for our people in the southern states, during a period of five years from October, 1915, the maximum for any one building to be $350. The Rosenwald fund is used to encourage public school officers and the people in the community in erecting school-houses in rural and village districts by supplementing what the public officers or the people claim of building to be approved by the extension department of Tuskegee institute and where required, by the State Board of Education.

Geta Emma Jacobs in Trouble—A Remarkable Case—Both Under Milwaukee, Wis.—Arrested while dressed in male attire, Jennie McNeil, 24 years old, a pretty white girl, confessed to the police that for the last six years she had been masquerading as a man. After being questioned, a charge of disorderly conduct was placed against her, as was done in the case of Emma Jacobs, Colored, who was posing as her "wife." Both were arraigned in District Court, and continuances in their cases were granted. The arrest was brought about through information given to detectives by a Hungarian attorney at a hearing where the girl-man and her "wife" were stopping. According to Jennie's story, she came to Milwaukee from Chicago about six months ago. She met the Jacobs woman in a Grand avenue restaurant, and they agreed to pose as man and wife. The Jacobs woman then went to the home of Mrs. Milligan, also Colored, and rented a room. She asked Mrs. Milligan if there was any objection to her bringing her "husband, whom she claimed was white. There was no objection, there could have been running there. The girl was arrested in Chicago about a year ago, while attired in men's clothes, Police say she was arrested here two years ago, on a disorderly charge, under the name Jessie Bennett.

"MYSTERY OF MORROW'S REST" What Governor Frank B. Willis, the State Board of Film Censors and Two of Our Bright Young Ladies Have to Say Relative to it and "The Birth of a Nation"—Time to Wake Up! Akron, O., July 9, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir;—I am enclosing a copy of the letter sent to the Governor on your suggestion and will forward his reply, to you just as soon as it is received. Please accept my sincere thanks for your prompt reply to my communication. I cannot say too much in praise and thanks for the good work for the race you are continually doing. Yours very respectfully, Hazel K. Hall. Akron, O., July 7th, 1915. Gov. F. B. Willis, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir:—The final edition of the Akron Times of Friday, July 2, contained an article with headlines in large type, concerning the opening of a new motion-picture theatre here, and the first photo-play announced to be shown is "The Birth of the Nation," taken from the infamous play, "The Clansman," by Thos. Dixon, Jr. The effect a photo-play of this nature is almost impossible to communicate in which it is shown, coupled with the prejudice that already exists toward the Negro race, cannot help but be realized. I have learned that these facts have already been placed before you in such a manner that you might be able to see it from every point of view. Therefore, it is needless for me to attempt to go into detail. This in itself is enough without even taking into consideration the outrage, shame and disgrace that is perpetrated against the Negro race by allowing such photo-plays as these: "The New Governor," originally known as "The Nigger," and this "The Birth of the Nation," to be shown to the society of the general public. Permit me to say that you have acted most nobly in the past efforts you put forth in having these race-prejudice-agitating photo-plays ruled out of the state, and I was under the impression that we had been entirely rid of them until I was most unpleasantly surprised on reading the above mentioned article. If you will again exercise your authority, and prevent this photo-play from being shown in the new theatre or any other in this city and state I, as a representative of the Negro race in this community, most heartily, think you can assume that we will indeed be very grateful. Thanking you in anticipation that we will soon be rid of these most obnoxious, race-prejudice-producing photo-plays for all time, I am. Yours very respectfully, Hazel K. Hall. Lorain, O., July 9th, 1915. Dear Mr. Smith:—Thanks for your prompt reply. I sent a wire to Governor Willis, the same evening I wired you. In reply I received the following telegram from the Ohio Board of Censors to whom the matter was referred. "Mystery of Morrow's Rest" approved. Objectionable scenes will follow." eliminated. Letter will follow. The letter has not yet come, and I am writing him to that effect in this mail. However from The Gazette which came this morning, I understand that the objectionable title and scenes have been eliminated from the play. Be this as it may the unpleasant (this is by far too mild a term) feature of the case was the apparent indifference of others to the case. The relief of police passed the case on to the mayor, and he in turn gave it over to the city solicitor who was glad to do nothing about it. Women would never have elected such passive men to office. We, the Colored Woman's Association of Lorain, are very grateful to your interest and good work in the cause. With best wishes from the family, I am. State of Ohio, Executive Department, Columbus. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gauge, Dear Sir:—Answering your communication of recent date addressed to the Governor, in which you enclose telegrams, letters and various newspaper clippings regarding the presentation of the motion-picture play, "The Nigger," you are advised that the Governor immediately upon receipt of your letter again took up the matter with the Department of Film Censorship of the State Industrial Commission to be given immediate attention by that Department. The Censor Board has taken up the matter and we herewith enclose copy of reply to the Governor's communication which we just received from Mr. Chas. G. Williams, Chairman of the Film Censorship Board in which an explanation is given. From this, it would appear that the film, "The Mystery of Morrow's Rest," is a different picture, based somewhat upon the story of the original picture, "The Nigger," but without any of the objectionable features age1st which complaint has been lodged. Trusting that this clears the matter up satisfactorily, I am Yours very truly, Forest F. Tipton, Secretary to the Governor. The Industrial Commission of Ohio. Department of Film Censorship, Columbus, Ohio. July 7th, 1915. Hon. Frank B. Willis, Governor of Ohio, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir:—I am in receipt of the newspaper clippings in reference to the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger" which were evidently sent to you from Hon. Harry C. Smith; also the telegrams directed to Mr. Smith from Miss Ruth A. Fisher of Lorain, and have noted them all correctly, beg further the complain of as "The Nigger" seems to confuse them. The right to exhibit the original picture, "The Nigger," was recalled and every scene to which the colored race objected was eliminated including subtitles and the title itself; or in other words a new picture was submitted to the Board under the name of "The Mystery of Morrow's Rest" without the objectional parts that were complained of in the title. The exhibitors in their advertisements designed refer to the picture occasionally as "The Nigger" and this misleads the public. However, we cannot censor the bill-boards and have no control over their advertisements. We have replied to all parties protesting against it explaining this situation and it has been satisfactory to most of them. They attempted to show the original picture under the new title at Springfield, which we present to Mr. C. Cleveland, as we have written him in reference to the advertisements and he already knew the status of the picture. In reference to the "Birth of a Nation," we have received very many protests against the production but the same has never been submitted to this Board for censorship, and until it is submitted we can say nothing of its merits or demurts other than because of the protests against it. It should be carefully considered. Yours very truly, (Signed) Chas. G. Williams, Chairman, Board of Film Censors. THE COURSE TO PURSUE. In recent weeks, our people of several Northern Ohio cities have been greatly troubled as the result of a mean, low advantage certain local motion-picture theatre-managers have taken of them. "The Mystery of Morrow's Rest," passed by the State Board of Film Censors, and as explained by its chairman in a communication published elsewhere in this paper, is the play, "The Nigger", with the title and objectionable features eliminated.

THE NEW EMPIRE DRESSES are the latest word in Fashion. Jacket 6144 Skirt 5989 Bolero 6158 Skirt 6149 Costume 6130 Waist 6156 Skirt 6137 agers have taken advantage of the knowledge of this fact by using the insulting and objectionable old title in their advertisements in local newspapers and on the "paper" advertising the play which they place in the windows of local business-places. Where this is done, in spite of the protests of our people of the community, the course for them to pursue is to invoke the assistance of their mayor or executive authority, who has full power in every instance to stop the gratuitous insult which the aforementioned advertising gives citizens and residents of the community. In case he fails to do this, as was true in Lorain, recently, it will be necessary for our people of the community to appeal to the local courts for the desired relief. It is a local matter, pure and simple, with which the governor and the State Board of Film Censors cannot deal as made clear in their communications referred to in the foregoing. As to the photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation", founded on Tom Dixon's infamous book, known as "The Classman", which we are informed an Akron theatre has announced as a future attraction, the writer has the assurance of Gov. Frank B. Willis that it will never be shown in Ohio while he is its Chief Executive, and it is hardy necessary for us to add that we have every confidence in that assurance. This same is true with all our people of this state, who remember with much satisfaction, the promptness with which he came to our relief, several months ago, when appealed to by the editor of The Gazette in the case of the other vicious photo-plays. The following communications are pertinent and self-explanatory: --- --- This Comb, properly beaten, and the uncrimp hair straight and silky at ever cooler temperatures. Heavy, Dumde and Dumde. Made of one solid piece; highly polished Schlather TONIC of LaCreole Hair Pomade, will bring the most stroke and cause a rapid growth of the hair, and get the comb by return mail.

Editor Gazzette, Dear Dr.—Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter, received this morning, from the chairman of the Board of Film Center, Ohio. I will be "on the lookout" all times from now on in order to notify you and the authorities should they attempt to again advertise or produce this much-hated photo-play. Yours in the interest of the race, HAZEL K. HALL. INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF OHIO. Department of Film Censorship, 233 South High Street COLUMBUS. July 10, 1915. Miss Hezel K. Hall, 222 A. Savings and Loan Bldg., Akron, Ohio. Dear Miss:—Your letter addressed to the Governor has been referred to me with the request that we attend to the matter. I beg to advise the film that you mention entitled the "Birth of a Nation" has never been submitted to this board for censorship and of course it is unlawful for the same to be shown until the same is approved. In as much that this board must exercise its judgment upon the contents of a film we cannot say in advance whether or not this particular film can or cannot be approved until we have heard of the same. We have had a great many protests in reference to this photo play. If at any time the same is being shown kindly notify this office and in the event that the same is being illegally shown we will look after the matter. Yours very truly. (Signed) CHAS. G. WILLIAMS.

Attorney R. R. Cheeks, to whom he carried his case, tells us that Shelby paid $1.50 on account receiving a receipt for the same, and still retains the bathing suit.

Tuesday, Lewis left a wife and child in Asheville, N. C., who sent word that they were unable to send for his body because of lack of funds. They requested that he be buried here. Those of our churches interment was also obligated to see that Lewis' body is brought back to Cleveland if they have not already done this. To allow his remains to be left in Medina, at the will of the undertaker (white), would be a shame and disgrace to the churches that gave the picnic, and an outrage on decency, to say the least. In a large display advertisement in a Sunday paper, Luna Park advertised an "ocean-surf bathing-beach," "Luna's new dance-floor, and enlarged roller-rink." We would like to ask those persons of color who love to "boost" Luna Park, in various ways, whether they can use its "ocean-surf bathing-beach" or pool, "Luna's new dance-floor and enlarged roller-rink"? isn't it a fact that the management of the park daily refuses our people only, of all the local public, the free use of the beach, dance-floor and roller-rink? isn't it also a fact that our people of this community have failed, except in one or two instances to punish the Luna Park management for unlawful discrimination on a race, race color? is it a fact that the Civil Rights law explicitly forbids just such discrimination in all public places. Use the law and put a stop to such insults, and stop "boosting" them, instead of trying to beat them down.

American Returns From Hawaii, Tells of Japs and Chinese There—Believes Example on Island Will Solve Race Problem Here. "Hawaiians are not in the least alarmed at the large number of Japanese in their country," according to Charles A. Cottrill, four years collector of internal revenue at Honolulu. "The reason for this is due to the fact that the Japanese make first-class citizens. They are intelligent, keen, active and efficient. They run banks, control business interests, and are eminent in professions. When it is a question of patriotism, Mr. Cottrill says, the oriental Jan. CHARLES A. COTTRILL anese or Chinese, is active. He takes part in every American patriotic celebration. Mr. Cottrill recalls that when he was on a committee for raising funds for sufferers in the Dayton (O.) flood more than 40 per cent of the money was contributed by Japanese. He was on that island is purely in business. "The Chinese business man is honest and his word in business is as good as a written bond," declares Mr. Cottrill. "Chinese are, as a race, not so keen as the Japanese, but honest. In fact, the Chinese are known in Honehulu as ultra-honest." A Cottrill claims it is a great example of Hawaiian associating of races may be. Many nationalities live in hainu, cordiality and equality. "Since my experience in Hawaii, I am more convinced than ever that before long the so-called race problem of continental United States will become a thing of the past. The splendid example of these islands in the matter of international and interracial relationship cannot fail to exert an influence for good in the settlement of this most important question. Who is carrying to his people a message of encouragement and optimism. Mr. Cottrill left to attend a Masonic convention in Detroit, this week. THE DERRICK ESTATE Can Now Be Attacked in The Courts By The Bishop. The Bishop gave Them New York City.—Transactions of the late Bishop William B. Derrick, were severely criticised and declared to be fraudulent in a decision handed down last week Wednesday, in the Queens County Supreme Court by Justice Blackmar. The decision may postpone the award. It may also be the estate of the late bishop in which Joseph T. Derrick of Fushing, his only son, who is employed in the U. S. Postal Service, may secure a share of the property, and several outstanding notes be paid. He was considered to be a man of considerable property, and his home "Bishop's Court," cor. State and Prince Sts., Flushing, frequently appraised to be worth $50,000, and this also applies to Bishop Derrick had a widower several years when, on Nov. 3, 1909, he was married to Mrs. Clara Henderson Jones of Chicago, a widow and a native of Ashland, O., who had two grown-up daughters. After the嫁 they came to "Bishop's Court" to live and remained there until April 15, 1913. That time was a test over the estate, which was settled out of court, and Mrs. Derrick and her daughters sold the mansion and the suit was brought by Rev. Peter E. Mills, an A. M. E. clergyman placed at Xenia, O. who brought suit against Mrs. Derrick to recover $671.10 on the estate of Bishop Derrick, Jan. 30, 1907. It was shown that three payments of interest had been made, amounting to $130; the latest payment being in Jan. 1913. The findings signed by Justice Blackmar give a fairly complete history of the case. He found that on Dec. 29, 1911, Bishop Derrick conveyed "Bishop's Court" to Mrs. Derrick; that the conveyance was made without consideration, and that the amount more than $5,000 above all the claims against it and that Bishop Derrick used the property as his residence until his death, April 15, 1913. Further findings of Justice Blackmar are: "The transfer of this property was made to the defendant with the intent on Derrick's part to hinder, delay and defraud his creditors, including this plaintiff. It was made by Derrick to Derrick's part to hinder, delay and defraud his own use and benefit said real estate during his life and thereafter for the sole use and benefit of said wife." GOV. FRANK B.

WINBUSH 2192 E. 35th St. Prospect 1043-J Quality Service NEW VIGOROUS PHRASE IN UNITED STATES NOTE Any Further Attack by German Submarines on Unarmed Merchantmen Will Be Regarded as 'Unfriendly Act.' Washington, D. C.—The reply of the United States to the German note will contain an expression by this government that it would be obliged to regard with "grave concern" or as an "unfriendly act" any further attack by German submarines on an unarmed, non-resisting merchantman with the consequent loss of American life. The note, completed by President Wilson and Secretary Lansing Wednesday night and dispatched Thursday, is in the nature of a final statement by the United States of the interpretation that will be placed by this government on future transgressions of American rights, and repeats that the American government will leave nothing undone to stand by the position it has previously declared. Points in New Note. Among the points in the new note are: 1. The assumption by the United States that Germany, by declaring her submarine warfare to be a retaliatory measure against the alleged unlawful acts of her enemies, has admitted the destruction of unresisting merchantmen warring is illegal. 2. German submarine commanders already have proved that they can save the passengers and crews of vessels and can act in conformity with the laws of humanity in making war on enemy ships. 3. The United States cannot allow the relations between the belligerents to operate in any way as an abbreviation of the rights of neutrals and, therefore, any violations of the principles for which the American government contends, resulting in a loss of American lives, will be viewed as "unfriendly." 4. The presentations which the American government has made in previous notes for disavowal of the intention to sink the Lusatiania with Americans aboard and the request for reparation are reiterated with renewed insistence. 5. The American government realizes the unusual and abnormal conditions which the present conflict has created in the conduct of maritime warfare and is willing to act as an intermediary as between the belligerents to arrange a modus vivendi or any other temporary arrangements which do not involve a surrender by the United States of its rights. Certain Proposals Rejected. 6. The proposals made by Germany to give immunity to American ships not carrying contraband and to four belligerent ships under the American flag are rejected with the emphatic assertion that to accept such suggestion would be to admit Germany's right to set aside the American contention, based on fundamental principles in international law—that neutrals may travel anywhere on the high seas on unresisting ships of any nationality, even if carrying contraband. The note is about 1,200 words long. While nowhere in it is there any direct intimation of the course which the United States will pursue in the event of another disaster similar to the Lusitania tragedy, there are emphatic statements throughout the communication pointing out that the discussion of the principles involved has been virtually concluded and that future conduct of German submarine commanders will determine the responsibility for the continuance of friendly relations between the two countries. WHITMAN HAS SAME IDEA SAYS THAT BECKER'S LATEST STATEMENT DOESN'T CHANGE OPINION OF GUILT. Albany, N. Y.—Governor Whitman said that a careful study of the statement of former Police Lieut. Charles Becker, now under sentence of death for instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, had not changed his opinion of the guilt of the convicted man. “There is only one thing new in the statement,” the governor said. “That is the allegation that the late Alfred Henry Lewis told Becker he was to be 'framed up.' That would have been an important bit of evidence, if true. But if it were true, why was not Lewis called to the stand during Becker's second trial? Now, with Becker nearing death, we hear of this matter after Lewis is dead.” The governor said that during Becker's trial he was familiar with virtually all the allegations made by the condemned man in the statement. The governor added that he would have questioned Becker concerning them if Becker had taken the witness stand in his own defense. Firemen Are Indicted. New York City.-Burglary as a side line and starting fire to hide their thefts are among the activities charged against a group of New York firemen. Following the confession of Simon Lidy and Morris Broslausky, neighborly business men who acted as "fences," the grand jury indicted John Ferrick and William Meloney of hook and ladder truck No. 20, for stealing silk and silk working machinery and then burning down the plant from which it had been taken. Save Mother-in-Law Beat Him. New York City.—The Rev. Dr. Burton K. Lee, chaplain of Sing Sing prison and rector of St. Mary's Episcopal church in Ossining, once was the best all-around athletes in Yale. In spite of this he said he was no match for his mother-in-law, who, he declared on the witness stand, once gave him a severe beating. The clergyman was brought into court on a writ of habeas corpus sued out by his wife, from whom he has been separated some time, to regain the custody of their oldest son. N MUSLINS AND SILKS PARISIENNES TURN TO DELICATE MATERIALS FOR RELIEF. War Has Brought So Much Nursing and Needlework That Jainty Garments for Hours of Leisure 'Are Imperative. We are becoming more and more infatuated with the delicate muslin and simple silks. A sort of reaction has set in. We have to occupy ourselves so much with nursing and needlework that it seems a relief to cloth our persons in dainty and lovely garments when we take a few hours' holiday, though it should not be said that a charity fete comes under the heading "holiday." These gigantic fetes call for an immense amount of hard work, and on the day itself one never finds a quiet moment, writes idala de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. A dress which attracted my attention at the Ritz was made of black moussine线 de sole bordered with black chiffon velvet and mounted over a plaited slip made of ivory white crepe de chine. This seemed to be a one-piece frock. It is hung straight from the shoulders, and was confined at the waist by a ceinture of velvet. There was a picturesque coat in fine black chantilly and the bodice opened over a lovely little blouse made of flesh-pink chiffon and fine lace. The lace sleeves of the coatée were semitransparent; that is to say, they were drawn on over the flesh-pink blouse. They were bishop in design and banded in at the wrists with bands of black velvet. A flat-brimmed hat made of black chip was worn with this gown. There was a lining of dull blue mirror velvet and round the high crown a fold of chantilly, caught in by a handsome paste buckle in front. Another coat and skirt, in Joffre- blue linen, had raised embroideries carried out in japonica-pink, blue, black and white washing silks. There were wide revers on the coat Smart three-cornered toque of white satin bound with navy blue silk ribbon. Navy blue mounta and bows. and a high turnover collar, as well as deep gauntlet cuffs. All these were covered with embroidery. I spoke in a recent article of the popularity of white linen suits enriched with open-work embroidery in the English style. Some of these dresses are veritable works of art, the skirts being worked in complicated designs almost to the knees, and the coats worked all over. It is rather the fashion to mount skirts of this order over pale-colored slips, hellotropes, or pale pastel blue. This is a revival of an old fashion, and when subtle colors are chosen for the slips the result is excellent; nothing, however, could be more objectionable than an embroidered dress worn over a crude and ordinary shade of pink or blue. Paquin has some fascinating summer mantles made of soft white linea which are lined with printed silk and trimmed on sleeves and cuffs with emrine. These mantles are charming when worn in conjunction with lace or muslin gowns. The touch of white fur makes the garment look picture-esque and unexpected. PROTECTION IN BAD WEATHER The vacation girl will find the rubber rain smocks very convenient things, not only for the rainy day, but for use in clear weather on such occasions as she goes boating, fishing, motoring or golfing. They are made of dull black leather in fairly light weight and are long and full skirted. The double panel of the front has snap fastening and the collar fastens close under the chin, while the wrists are drawn in with elastics to insure absolute protection. These smocks are done up in individual rubber bags. Nothing Especially New, But Materials and Designs Leave Nothing to Be Desired. It is an easy thing to say each season that never before were linens so beautiful. For the statement is always true. Never before have household linens been so beautiful—from the present-day point of view. Fillet cloth is still lavishly used with linen for tablecloths, scarfs for serving tables and sideboards and for bed spreads. There is nothing especially new in the way it is used. It is so lovely, in any form, that it needs no excuse for novelty. The same thing is true of the heavy damask table linen. There are a few new patterns, but the standard stripes and snowdrop patterns are still in good style, bordered with a floral design or a conventional arrangement of lines and curves. The tablecloth with the plain center and the figured border, too, is still in fashion. It is in the smaller pieces of table unless that there are loeites. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915. CHILD'S DRESS Of striped blue taffetta with a wide satin girdle. The dress in made with the new smocking stitch, trimmed with four rows of shadow lace gathered around the neck with sleeves of the same material. CUT FLOWERS IN THE HOUSE Most Effective Form of Docoration, to Which Too Little Attention Is Usually Given. No feature of household decoration can do more to render a room attractive than the use of flowers. But the proper arrangement of flowers is an art, demanding study. The Japanese spend years in acquiring this art; but the average person gives to the arrangement of cut flowers no more thought than is given to the most unesthetic of household tasks. In the first place most people err in the matter of vases. A vase should be considered always in connection with flowers—not as an object of art by itself. Vases of distinctive colors should be used carefully; a neutral tint, green or glass vases are safest. If you have vases of very positive shades use them only for flowers with which they will harmonize. Yellow pottery, for example, is lovely if filled with yellow flowers or with a combination of blue and yellow flowers. Low yellow or purple bowls filled with pansies are a delight to the eye. A gray ginger jar filled with dusty millet and sweet alyssum is a thing of beauty; the shimmering silver gray of the foliage and the white of the blossoms harmonize perfectly with the soft-gray jar. Another common mistake in arranging flowers is to overcrowd the vase. Never bunch flowers. Each should be put in the water separately to insure a good effect. A long strip of lead coiled to fit the bottom of vases is the best device for keeping flowers upright. It is not so expensive as the china or wire arrangements that can be purchased for the same purpose, and it has the further advantage of being easily squeezed into a vase of any size. A pretty device for flowers is the Aaron's rod 'o hang on the wall. This is merely a stick of bamboo with holes cut between the joints. Water is poured into each opening, and the flowers then set in. FOR THE THROAT AND NECK Collars of Dutch and Eton Style in Order—Colored Boa Give Softening Effect to the Face. Dutch and eton style collars in laundered and semilaundered designs are worn with silk or crepe windorsies. Dainty ribbon and flowered garments are used on dressy designs of embroidery and lace, which are always V-shaped. Flaring collars and cuffs of black patent leather lined with white pique are smart for a tailored suit. Ribbons of the regimental stripe order are worn with the above and other neckwear sets. Collar and cuff sets of colored handkerchief linen are worn with tailored suits and sport attire. Mallines ruffs in black and white are popular. Short and long ostrich boas are in royal and navy gray, blue, black and white and black. They are neck size, or to the knees, with ribbon bows or tassels on the ends. They are very softening to the face. For one thing, Japanese runners can now be had in almost all colors. Even the craze for black and white may be figured in a sepia so deep that it is almost black, and with black and white luncheon or breakfast china it would make a striking effect. A charming tea set consists of a small cloth to spread over the tea table, embroidered with cross-stitch teapots, and small napkins to match embroidered each with a teacup. Then there are refreshment sets for the card party, which show playing cards embroidered on both the small cloth and the napkins. The diamond-shaped monogram is still considered the smartest, perhaps, although single letters, or initials in a straight line, varying in size according to the size of the piece of linen they embellish, are still used. Simple White Blouses White blouses retain their vogue, also white intermixed with one color, blue, pink, etc. These blouses are very simply made, with square yokes and no tucks offer. GIVE PRETTY EFFECT BLACK AND WHITE FLOWER HOLDERS MUCH IN VOGUE. Furnish Splendid Contrast to the Bright Blooms They Are Designed to Hold—Novel Methods of Arrangement. Black or black-and-white flower holders are used now by smart hostesses, just as all sorts of black-and-white interior furnishings are used, and they form a contrast to the bright colors of the flowers that is most effective. Sometimes these are in white porcelain with black stripes, sometimes in black, with a narrow white THE FLOWER VASE For the Dinner Table. rim. With snapdragon—a flower that has been used at many of the fashionable spring and early summer weddings and dinner parties—with roses, with iris or with any other brilliant flowers these black vases and bowls are in excellent taste. A new idea is to have the flowers, as well as their stems, inside the vase; and for this purpose wide-mouthed glass vases are used. In the sketch skills of the valley are shown in this arrangement. There is another novel method of arranging flowers—roses and silkmix are trained over a little lattice thrust into a dish of moss. Little porcelain birds, especially bluebirds, are much used with flowers. They perch charmingly on the edge of wide bowls or on the rims of tall vases or even cling to the sides. They can be bought without trouble, but there is a knack of making them "stay put"—a knack that can be gained if one has on hand a little plastic clay. With this the porcelain birds are stuck in the position desired. The clay does not show. Very elaborate flower holders, showing bronze mermaloids or fauns rising gracefully from wide bronze basins, give an air of coolness and charm to any room. They are especially pretty with pond lilies, or some other water flowers, held, if long-stemmed, in the backs of bronze turtles and frogs.—Anne Rittenhouse in the Boston Herald. Dark Colors Lead This season, as last, color in suits tends to the darker tones, and dark blues and blacks are far in the lead. Beige is also used and an occasional brown, soldier blue or oxford gray. For trimming on tailored suits, plain dresses and buttons are all that are permissible, unless it be a collar of white faille. For Afternoons. For summer afternoon dresses there is nothing like the striped volles and silks with lingerie frills. DISTINCT CHANGE IN FASHION Now it is Smart to Look Demure, and the Wise Woman Will Adapt Herself to the Mode. You may not agree to accept either the material or the Victorian idea in dress as a whole, but if you are even a wee bit fashionable, it is not possible to avoid them in part. You would have to invent a new line of accessories, to begin with, to say nothing of changing the silhouette in a serious manner; in other words, you would have to be an insurgent. In these rushing days no one has time to give over to insurgency, which means acute individuality with study. It is far easier to drift along with the tide, only adjusting one's self to do this, and outside help does not always count for as much as one thinks when it comes to a practical decision of the exact thing to accept or refuse. This is a condition where one must learn reliance on one's own conviction of intention. So as to this wave of new fashions which is swooping down upon us as a striking expression of a seri- HEALTH AND BEAUTY The average woman should wear her hair softly around her face, the tightly-drawn back effects being very trying. It is bad enough for her physical health when a grown woman chooses to squeeze her figure in a space too narrow for it, but girls should not be allowed to do so. Eating bread and butter which has been thickly sprinkled with cayenne pepper is recommended by many physicians as an effective means of preventing seasickness. Tight lacing prevents the free circulation of the blood, which is so important for young girls. Good circulation is necessary for sound health, and when it is stopped by tight stays anemia is the result. A salt bath is very beneficial and restful. Purchase of a druggist a box of sea salt; dissolve about a fourth of it in hot water. Saturate a bath towel in the salt water, then let it dry. After the regular bath, rub the body with the salt towel, or use it mornings after the cold bath FEATURES OF NEW DRESSES Many New Effects From Which Woman man Who Knows Will Choose Those That Best Become Her. Taffetta dresses are made in combination effect, the skirt being of blue and white striped taffeta, for instance, and the bodice of the plain blue, or black and white striped skirts are worn with black bodices. A skirt of brown flowered taffetta may be worn with a bodio of plain brown taffetta. Entire dresses of taffetta or foulard in stitches, nooks, dots, or cheeks are worn. Dress bodices are usually very simple, being finished with soft lingerie collars and cuffs. Full length sleeves are most often seen, although there are some of elbow length. While all skirts are full, the more moderate style, with a slight flare, are best liked. Many double and triple skirts are finished with a band or cording around the bottom to give a distended appearance. Flouces are much used on soft materials, some skirts being flounced from waist to hem. All skirts are short, some reaching just to the high shoe top, others to just above the ankle. DICTATES OF FASHION Soft corded silk is used for chic. dressy suits. Quite new are very broad collars and cuffs. There are charming frocks of checked taffeta. The wide belt of white leather is again in fashion. The smartest clothes this season are as usual the simplest. Armholes are usually large, so that coats slip on easily. Bright ties float at the collars of some of the prettiest coats. Metal and black laces appear on the more formal evening dresses. WALKING SUIT PUBLIC Gray cravette cloth with a circular skirt. The coat is made in a sort of military style pockets and two lower hip pockets. On each shoulder is a strap fastened with a covered button of the same material. A belt of the same cloth fastens in the front with a buckle. The sleeves are buttoned at the wrists with three buttons. ous moral change, real or alleged, which is taking place in the minds of women, the wisest thing to do is to make it meet personal requirements. There is so much acknowledged liberty of choice in fashion this year that no woman can have reason to mourn the passing of all things that are suitable to her special figure, face or way of dressing. Hobble skirts, kimono sleeves and long coats are the few garments that are taboo, so far, but there is all the rest of the world of ideas to choose from Lace Curtains Renewed To do up lace or net curtains and have them the same color as when low. When the starch has bolled and is still hot or bolling put yellow ocher in and stir it all through until you have the shade you want your curtains. Five cents' worth of ocher in the powder will be sufficient for a large number of curtains. Evening petticoats have their upper halves of pink crepe de chine, with many layers of pink net for the lower half. Combinations of Gay Colors Mark These Beautiful, If Superfluous, Hot Weather Garments. The summer dress-up wraps are frothy and superfluous as a dream. Fancy a coat of tulle, a bit of lace and a few pearl beads. Yet it is "done." A beautiful imported wrap has a cape of rose-colored silk from which fall tiers upon tiers of lace, mounted over rose chiffon. By the way, do you know that chiffon is a good wearable fabric and is used now for linings of silk coats—aye, and for cloth ones, too! Time was when dressy wraps were only for evening, but the afternoon dances permit more elaborate costumes. Hence the appearance of the expensive cloak of lace. One of Callot's loveliest models is a long cont of batiste, embroidered to the guards and beautiful beyond words and type and printer's ink. It was to be worn with a beige-colored taffeta with sleeves of beige lace. Tres splendide, yes? JUST HUMOR Young Man Agrees With Sweetheart That One Meal Per Day Would Be Entirely Sufficient. Howard—But, Hazel, dear, marriage is out of the question now. I am only a clerk on a meager salary, you know. Hazel—Oh, Howard; don't let that interfere with our happiness. We can live on one meal a day if necessary. Howard—But you know nothing of household duties, dear; why, you can't even cook! Hazel—Yes, I can, darling. The time has come for my confession. Howard, I graduated from a cooking school three weeks ago. Howard—To come to my arms, sweet- heart; it shall be as you wish—one meal a day will be more than enough. The Difference "In many ways," observed Mrs. Cityflat, who was visiting a friend in the country, "I find that a horse is much like a man." "Well, I dunno," answered Farmer Squash, as he applied a match to his corncob pipe, "I have found them quite different in some respects. For instance, a horse is worth more after he's broke."—Judge Ruthless Revenge. "I'll get even with the man who made all those libelous remarks about me." "Surely you will do nothing violent." "No. I don't propose to make life interesting for him. I'm going to haul him into court and make him sit for hours listening to arguments and expert testimony." The Caller. The Small Boy—Are you the bone less man? The Caller—Boneless? Why, no What gave you that idea? The Boy—Pa said you was a contortionist. "A contortionist?" "Yes. He said you was always patting yourself on the back." Not favorably impressed. "Can you tell me some way to cook potatoes?" asked the young wife who was doing her first marketing. "They are very nice just bolled in their jackets," suggested the grocer. "And have you no other potatoes than these?" she went on doubtfully. "These jackets do not look very stylish." "Going to eat today?" inquired the dragon. "Yes," replied the hussar, "we have horse meat." "We have prospects of dining ourselves. There's an automobile out yonder that has turned turtle."—Louisville Courrier-Journal. THE CAUSE. Mr. Bunny—What's the matter, Mr Tiger? Mr. Tiger- I ate a rabbit this morning, and it disagreed with me. Mr. Bunny- Must have been my wife. She disagrees with everybody. Very Much So "I wonder what the poet meant when he alluded to woman in her hours of ease as being uncertain, coy and hard to please." "I don't know about the coy part," said the saleslady, "but when it comes to picking out a spring hat she's all the rest of it." Hopeless Case Mrs. Hemmandhaw—I was just reading in the paper about a man who was driven to suicide by the third degree. Mrs Shimmerpate—Mercy! John just told me he expects to take the thirty-second degree at his lodge tonight. "This critic says the chorus was practically nude. Do you suppose the girls disrobed on the stage?" "Certainly not. That would be suggestive. They disrobed before they came on the stage." "Cook must have been impressed with this scientific talk she hears." "Why so?" "I just heard her refusing to kiss her beau except through the screen door." Termed as Rabbit Skin by Redoubtable Advocate Who Wrote Defending Prisoner at Bodmin Assizes. At Bodmin assizes once, a barrister, while pleading, was interrupted by the judge: "Mr. Carter, you are wasting the time of the court." "Time of the court!" retorted the truculent veteran, glaring fiercely at the bench. "Your lordship means—your lordship's dinner!" The judge threw up his hands in despair, and Carter continued his harangue in peace. The same redoubtable advocate was on another occasion defending a man charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. "False pretenses," said he, with fine scorn. "Why, we all make them every day, barristers and solicitors and judges—the whole lot of us. Talk about the purity of the judicialermine!" Here he pointed derisively to the learned judge, who sat cowering on the bench. "Why, it's only rabbit skin!" Shouts of laughter greeted this irreverent statement, which investigation would probably show to be literally true. HIS CHANCE. Mrs. Henpeck—This paper says that a man in Italy sold his wife to a blind man for 20 cents. Isn't that awful? Mr. Henpeck—Yes. Anyone ought to be ashamed to stick a blind man. Psychological Effect "Do you think it pays to keep chickens?" "Yes," replied Farmer Corntosel; "a few chickens are a good advertisement. They keep the summer boarders cheered up, thinkin' mebbe the first thing they know they'll see a couple of 'em on the dinner table." A Doubtful Compliment. "I didn't just like the way he congratulated us on the engagement of our daughter to the count." "What did he say?" "He kept reminding me that we weren't losing our daughter, but adding a son to the family." On Her Brow "Before we married you promised me rings and brooches and beads to wear." "Well, what of it?" "I was thinking that the only beads I've ever worn since are beads of perspiration." "Hello, Grimshaw! Don't you remember your old sidekick, Smartellick?" "Your manner is familiar," replied Grimshaw coldly, "but I am glad to say that I have forgotten both your face and name."—Judge. No Objection. "Do you think women are competent to run the affairs of great nations?" "I don't see why not," replied Mr. Growcher. "It might be a good idea, for a change, to substitute pink ribbon for red tape." His Calling. "The fellow who was superintending our loads of furniture when we went into a new house, had a very dramatic way about him." "Well, couldn't you see he is'acting in the movies?" Different Slant. Rankin—I just heard a new version of "The Moth and the Flame." Phyle—What was it? Rankin—A man's overcoat hanging in a closet got so many holes in it he had to throw it in the fire. 1. Possible Extraction A Possible Retraction. "I hear you are having a 'Take it Back' campaign in this town." "Yes," admitted the Plunkie citizen. "Have you borrowed anything that you have failed to return?" "Oh, no. I want to see a man who called me a liar about three years ago." Information Sought. The bookkeeper approached his employer diffidently. "Seven years ago, sir," he began, "you engaged me on a week's trial." "Well, what of it?" "May I presume now that my position is permanent?" A Possibility. "Your Uncle Batch appears quite overcome by the charms of La Petite Louise." "Any woman with an encouraging smile can make a fool of him." "I wonder! He may marry her at that!"—Judge. At Our Boarding House. "We become what we eat," said the theosophist, without any excuse whatsoever. "No wonder I feel like a menagerie," volunteered the cheerful idiot; "I've been eating hash for a mouth." Sure Method. "The only way for a man to learn all about women is to get married." "And study the ways of his wife, eh?" "No! Listen to what she tells him about other women."
