LOSS OF LIFE IN ERIE FLOOD MAY REACH 80 Fatalities Estimated to Be Heavy as Result of Cloudburst in City. SCENES AT MORGUE ARE HEARTRENDING Immense Piles of Wreckage From "Fifty to Seventy Feet High Streak Mile Course of Water Through the Business Section. Erie, Pa.—With seventeen known dead, and 16 of whom are at the morgue identified, and with seven missing and known to be dead, though their bodies have not yet been recovered, the death list up to midnight Wednesday as a result of the cloudburst which sent a yellow flood through the heart of the city is 24, although estimates of the total dead run from 40 to 80. The fact is police have failed to properly handle the task of canvassing the stricken district and the death list probably will be found to total somewhere between the general estimates of 40 to 80. Scenes at the morgue on 13th-st are heartrending. Scores of grief-striken men, women and children stand in a row outside the door scanning the faces of the dead as they are brought in. The immense piles of wreckage from barriers from 50 to 70 feet high in the mile course of the flood through the city's business section and the task before the workers is a tremendous one. Some buildings were totally demolished, while others were tossed virtually intact upon the hills which the torrent rushed. The bodies of some of the victims were found a mile from the spot where they were caught by the rush of water and it is considered likely that some were carried out into the lake. A systematic canvass of the city for persons reported missing was begun by the police at noon. Erie citizens responded generously to the call for funds for the suffering and homeless issued by Mayor Sterns. The mayor announced that a thorough investigation of the disaster will be made, calling attention to the fact that warning of the danger from Mill creek had been given in 1895, when it overflowed its banks and caused some loss of life. The flood territory extends over a distance of two miles in length and is about two blocks wide. When the flood was raging at its height and the cries for help could be heard from various points in the tumultuous waters many were the heroic rescues made by the firemen, policemen and civilians. The property damage will run between four and five million, and at least 3,000 people are homeless. Several big manufacturing plants got the full force of the fatal onrush of the water that came down the valley of Mill creek at 8:30 o'clock at night. The eastern portion of the city was cut off for nearly all night, but early in the morning communication was established with that section. The flood was caused by the bursting of Glenwood dam and the overflowing of Mill creek. A five-foot-wall of water surrounded the flood zone during the night. Fierce Gale In the East. New York City - Streets - of New York and its suburbs were turned into yellow rivers, surface and elevated traffic was badly crippled, wires were blown into a tangled network, trees uprooted and hundreds of cellars flooded in a torrential downpour that broke over the metropolitan section to the accompaniment of a 60-mile gale. Nearly three inches of rain fell in four hours at Sandy Hook, where a southeaster lashed the ocean into fury. Cumberland, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other cities were heavy sufferers. THE GAZETTE FINANCIAL STANDING OF WORLD JUST NOW War Expenditures Equal Most Extravagant Expectations, Says New York Bank. No Signs That Any Nations Engaged in European Conflict Are Running Out of Men or Money or That People Are Weakening. New York, City—How the world stands from a financial viewpoint after a year of war is ably set forth in a review just announced by the National City bank. "The war expenditures have equalled the most extravagant predictions," says the review. "The fighting has been continuous and the casualties appalling, but the results signify practically nothing; as to when the conflict will end. There are no ships that either side is running out of men or money or that the people of any of the warring countries are weakening in resolution or confidence." The review continues: Loyal to Mother Countries. "The developments of the war itself have shown the futility of annoying hostile populations; they cannot be dispossessed of the territory or compelled to be loyal citizens, and while they swell the volume of domestic trade and pay taxes, they cost at least as much as they contribute. "If all the responsible ministries had known as much a year ago as they know now it is safe to say that the peace would not have been broken, and if they could know now as much as they will a year hence, it is probable that a peace conference would not be deferred. "Excluding Italy, which came into the war at the end of the 10th month and for which few figures of expenditures or loans are available, the war loans of the combatants have aggregated approximately" $15,500,000,000 and this about represents the governmental expenditures for the year. The total indebtedness of these countries at the outbreak of the war, including the debts of the several states of the German empire, was approximately $23,000,000,000, but a large portion, perhaps one-half, represented investments in railways and other revenue producing utilities, so that it is safe to say that the debt which must be carried by taxation has been more than doubled. Much Shipping is Destroyed. Summing up the war's effect upon the world's commerce, the review estimates the total efficiency at about 75 per cent of normal. About 1,000,000 tons of shipping have been destroyed. Although this is only 2 per cent of the total, the entire loss to commercial service, including ships interried and commanded for war service, is approximately 15 per cent. After summarizing crop prospects and business conditions throughout the United States, all of which the report finds to be good, this statement is made: "The industrial revival has now reached the stage where, with the additional impetus that may be expected from a good crop, it should include nearly all lines, and assure a satisfactory state of general trade this fall. In some lines of production, particularly in branches of the steel industry, the point has been touched where more capacity is wanted and the stimulus of orders for additional plant equipment is felt." MARRIES HER AFFINITY WOMAN WHO POISONED CHILDREN AND TRIED TO KILL SELF WEDS ADMIRER: New York City.—Lorlys Elton Rogers and Ida Sniften Walters, whose strange relationship came to light when Mrs. Walters administered poison to their two children and then tried, to kill herself, were married in Jersey City. The marriage was performed after Mrs. Caroline Giddings Rogers, Rogers' second wife, obtained her final decree of divorce from him in this city. The divorce was secured following the discovery that Rogers and Mrs. Walters had been living in the Bronx with their two children as "Mr. and Mrs. Rogers." Three Die. Eight Hurt. Hudson, N. Y.-Three men were killed instantly and eight injured, one of whom may die, when the power plant of the Knucklerbocker Cement Co. at Greenport, half a mile east of here, was submerged in a quicksand. The disaster occurred as the night gang employed in the power plant was about to be relieved. Without warning the plant, together with land about it to the extent of three acres; caved in to a depth of 30 feet. **Shoe Dye Nearly Kills.** Akron, O.-D. Oreying his tan shoes black nearly cost Andy W. Welsburger, 853 Bell-st, his life. Poison in the dye was absorbed by his feet. Quick action at People's hospital saved his life. This is the third case of poisoning by shoe dye that Akron physicians have encountered. Dr. B. F. Force, chief sanitary inspector, has begun a thorough investigation. He will destroy all shoe dye containing poison: Not only shoe shining stands but shoe shining supply houses will be visited. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME. SINCE.

Thompson and Davis Died Defending Old Glory in Wpr of 1812. On Christmas day, 1812, in the fight between the American privateer Governor Tompkins and the British man-of-war Laurel an eighteen pound shot took off both legs of John Thompson, a Negro sailor in the privateer, and mutilated the lower part of his body in a horrible manner. Although in his death agonies, the herde fellow shouted to those about him: "Fire away, boys! 'Nebber haw de colors down!" Standing near Captain Shaler about this moment was another Negro seaman, John Davis. He was mortally injured in much the same manner and, falling to the deck, begged that he might be thrown overboard immediately lest his mungled remains encumber the working of the gun. Baptists in Efforts to Save Property. President W. Bishop Johnson of the New England Baptist missionary convention has called upon the ministers of the churches of the convention for contributions from their congregations to prevent the loss of a valuable piece of church property for debt. Several churches have fiddled their intention to render financial aid to the church in question, which is without a minister. Dr. Johnson was in Brooklyn on Saturday, July 17, in the interest of the matter. Nurses to Hold Meeting in Raleigh The National Association of Colored Nurses will hold its eighth annual con- vention at Raleigh, N. C. for three days, beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 17. Miss Mary York of Raleigh is chairman of the local committee of arrangements. METHODISTS PLAN BIG CELEBRATION Magnitude of the Achievements of Great Religious Corporation Seen In Its Churches, Institutions of Learning, Financial and Splendid Publishing Concerns. Philadelphia—In this city in May, 1816, will be held the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The local committee met the second week in July and formulated its plans. Rev. C. C. Dunlap, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, is the chairman of the local committee. Various committees were appointed. The committee on publicity is led by Dr. R. K. Wright, JE. editor of the Christian Episcopal. There are a committee on issues a committee on entertainment, a committee on public worship and other for other important matters. The African Methodist Episcopal church was started in Philadelphia in 1787, when Richard A. Abe was a local placer in the African Episcopal church, led a number of Negroes from St. George's Methodist Episcopal church into an independent church called Bethel. In 1814 was REV. C. C. DUNLAP, D. D. purchased an old blacksmith shop, which was moved from Fourth and Spruce streets upon the lot at Sixth street and Pine. This property has been in their possession ever since. It is now improved and valued at $125,000. Recently two three-story hats have been built upon a part of the property south of the church, which are valued at $15,000 each. This piece of property is the oldest property owned by any Negro organization in the United States. Independent churches started by members of the race in various parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Baltimore grew steadily, and in 1816 there were enough to form a denominational organization. They met in April, 1816, in this city and called themselves the African Methodist Episcopal church. The leader was Richard Allen, who had already gained considerable reputation for his energy, shift and integrity during the plague of yellow fever which raged in Philadelphia in 1763, when Governor Clarkson made a public statement of thanks to Richard Allen for his services in this epidemic. Richard Allen was made first bishop of the A. M. E. church. Since that time there have been forty bishops elected. The church has grown from a few members in Philadelphia to nearly a million members, scattered in every state of the United States, in West Africa, South Africa, South America, Canada and other parts of the world. The ministry has increased from the first, who was Richard Allen, to 7,000, representing among them some of the most cultured men of the colored race. The church has been a pioneer in the uplift of the race in many lines. Long before the emancipation of the Negro it started an institution at Wilberforce, O. for the higher education of the Negro. This institution now has properly valued, at $750,000 and is rated as one of the leading educational institutions among Negroes in America. Besides this institution, there are colleges and academies throughout the south. Soon after the war the missionaries⁶ of this church were sent south to bring the colored people into the organization. In South Carolina, in the early eighties. Allen university was started and is now in a flourishing condition. About the same time Morris Brown university was started in Atlanta, Ga., and since that time there have been established Edward Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla.; Kittrell college, in North Carolina; Wayman institute, in Kentucky; Turner Normal and Industrial school, in Tennessee; Payne university, in Alabama; Lampton college, in Louisiana; Campbell college, in Mississippi; Paul Quinn college, in Texas; Shorter college, in Arkansas; Western university, in Kansas, City. Mo.; Shorter high school, in West Africa; Willier for college, in South Africa, with other schools of lesser grade throughout the country and in South America and the West Indies. Before the civil war the oldest Negro newspaper town in existence was established by this church in the state of Pennsylvania. In ISIS a magazine was started in Pittsburgh, and in 1852 the Christian Recorder was started in Philadelphia. This newspaper is now the only newspaper existing among Negroes which was started before the civil war. Among the men who have been its cellars are Bishop B. T. Tanner, now retired, the oldest of the bishops of the A. M. E. church; Bishop B. F. Lee, senior active bishop of the A. M. E. church. This periodical is circulated not only in the United States, but in South America and Africa as well. Besides this paper there are five other periodicals which are controlled by the church. The Southern Christian Research party is controlled by the Western Christian Research party. At Kansas City, Mo. the A. M. E. Review in Philadelphia; the Voice of Missions in New York; and the Women's Charlson Beamer in Nashville, Tenn. The financial system of the church is based upon the payment of $4 per year from each member, which is called "dollar money" and is divided so as to furnish salaries of the bishops and most of the general officers of the church and a pension fund for widows and epiphans and retired priests. It furnishes a part of the missionary fund and the educational fund. The department is located in Washington. The department is located in Philadelphia and was incorporated in 1855. In 1852 the Sunday school department was set apart. These two department publish the literature used by the church, which is not only printed, but is written by members of the church. The Sunday School union at Nashville is said to be the finest publishing house in the world owned by Negroes. The bishop of this district, the Right Rev. Evans Tyreo, M. D., D. J. is sparing no polls toward arrangements to impale the celebration of the centennial anniversary one of the greatest in the history of the colored race. There will be about 290 delegates, of whom forty will come from Africa and South-America and from many other foreign parts. Among them will be two former Philadelphia pastors who have elected bishops to foreign points, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, bishop of South Africa, and Bishop William H. Heard, bishop of West Akron. ACTIVE WORK OF SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH. Yonkers Organization Presents Program at Church Anniversary. An interesting program was presented at Beth Tiphilh Fourth Moravian church, One Hundred and Thirty-sexth street, New York, the third week in July, which was "Negro Society For Historical Research night" of the series of anniversary meetings, held at the church, J. E. Bruce, president of the society, presided and gave a brief and held resume of the work the society has done and is doing. After this he introduced Professor J. E. Kwegly Aggroy of the Gold Coast, Africa, one of the members of the society and professor of English literature at Livingstone college, North Carolina, who in an eloquent and impassioned address held the audience spellbound, for nearly an hour while he told of the glorious possibilities of the African race and of the splendid work which the society is quietly doing in gathering valuable and useful information, rare books, manuscripts and pamphlets which vindicate the character of the Negro and confuse and confound the race. Schubembe, secretary of the society, told of the part the Negro has played in the early history of Texas as a pioneer and cited some facts from Spanish history showing that the Negro has been very much in evidence in the Americas as a soldier, discoverer and adventurer. Dr. C. D. Marth, minister of the church and vice president of the society, made a strong appeal in favor of the establishment in New York city of a permanent home for the society, where the public could have access to its wonderful collection of rare historical Africana. A bountiful collation was served at the close of the exercises. Among the distinguished guests present were Professor Fileen and G. D. Gunter, M. A., of Kingston, British West Indies. The headquarters of the Negro Society For Historical Research are at Yankers, N. Y. Now Minister at Pittsburgh Church. The members of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, closed a brilliant series of meetings incident to the installing of its new minister, the Rev. J. C. Austin, the first week in July. The installation sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia. Baptist ministers of the city churches and those in the vicinity, with their choirs, took part at the various services during the week. The Rev. Mr. Austin is in the prime of life, well qualified and able to lead. The church makes a fresh start under favorable circumstances. Mosaic Templars Meet at Denison, Tex. The annual meeting of the state grand lodge. Mosaic Templars of Amerlen, was held at Denison, Tex. from July 20 to 22 inclusive. A. W. Weatherford, state grand master of the national order, presided. The attendance was large, each temple and chamber being fully represented. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Rear Admiral Caperton is in command of the United States naval forces that have occupied Port-au-Prince and Cape Haitian, Haiti. COLD STEEL AND SHOTS AWE EASTERN STRIKERS Three Companies of State Troops Guard Aluminum Company Fellowing Killing of Two Men and Injury to Others. Messana, N. Y. A. cordon of cold steel surrounds the works of the Aluminum Co. of America, where three companies of state troops are arranging the plant against the attacks of strikers, who have been, flotting since Saturday afternoon following the walkout of 1,000 men. Two men have been killed, a half dozen injured seriously. Automobiles have been held up and their occupants beaten and innocent bystanders have been the target of volleys of bricks hurled by the infiltrated mob in its designee resistance to Sheriff Day; his deputies and the soldiers sent here by Gov. Whitman, when it was seen that the county authorities could not handle the situation. Cold steel and dring by the state troops have aided the strikers and now the backbone of the strike is broken, so only heatlity occurring Monday gives an exchange of shots between rival factions of the men in the woods each of the plant shortly before daybreak and the seizure of a freight ship. That the situation has not assumed more serious proportions is due to the rumour arrival of Col. Charles Hiteckeck of the first regiment, with Co. C of Watertown, in command of Capt. Ryan; Co. K of Malone, in command of Capt. Marshall, and Co. D of Oglutsburg, in command of Capt. Briggs. MOBATBECKERFUNERAL MOBATBECKERFUNERAL TEN THOUSAND FIGHT DESPER ATELY TO OBTAIN A CLOSER VIEW OF CASKET. New York City.—Charles Becker, electrocuted at Sing Sing for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was buried Monday at Woodawn cemetery white 10,000 persons, mostly women, fought desperately to obtain a closer view of the coffin. At the Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, where the funeral services were held, another crowd surged frantically around the front of the office, defying mounted police and patrolmen to hold it in check, and at the residencia the same scene was acted in even more intensified form. At Woodawn cemetery the throng had something to divert its morbid mind from the becker coffin when Fred Deering, superintendent of the burial ground, refused to allow two huge floral pieces, accompanying the cortege, to be brought into the place until certain objectionable inscriptions which they contained were removed. These inscriptions were, "Sacrificed for Politics" and "To, the Martyr, both of which were placed on floral crosses standing at least four feet high. VILLA GARRISON REVOLT THREE HUNDRED TROOPS IMPRISON THEIR OFFICERS AND DECLARE FOR CARRANZA. El Paso, Tex.-Following General Francisco Villa's declaration, that the United States could go to hell, his garrison at Guzman, 78 miles south of here, revolted. The 300 soldiers imprisoned their officers and declared for Carranza. This report was given out by the Carranza consulate here and confirmed by an official of the Mexican Northwestern railroad. Kills Thred in House Chicagos, Ill.—While an unknown woman stood sentry, George H. Jones, garage owner of Austin, a suburb, entered the residence of his brother-in-law, John Cosgrove, shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Mary Jones, Cosgrove and his sister, Miss Catherine Cosgrove. His wife was a dinner guest at the death house. Waving the smoking revolver over head, Jones rushed to his automobile, which the unknown woman had cranked, defied an exciter crowd and sped away amid a hall of bullets. He shot himself later. CLAIMS RIGHT TO SINK U.S. VESSEL INVITES ARBITRATION AT THE HAGUE Unyielding in Refusal to Concede That Destruction of Boat Was Violation of American Rights Under Washington, D. C. — Germany is unyielding; in her refusal to concede that the sinking of the American sailing ship William P. Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prizz Eitel Friedrich in the south Atlantic last January was a violation of American rights under the Prussian-American treaty or international law. In reply to the last representations of the United States, the German foreign office, in a note just made public here by the state department, reiterates, a previous justification of Germany's course, declares again her willingness to pay for the ship, and accepts a proposal first advanced by the United States that the amount of damages be fixed by two experts, one to be solicited by each country. Invites Arbitration. Such a sum the German government pledges itself to pay promptly with the stipulation, however, that the payment shall not be viewed as a satisfaction for violation of American rights. Should that method be unsatisfactory Germany invites the United States to arbitration at The Hague. The unofficial view here is that reparation by a commission of experts probably will be satisfactory, to the United States with the express provision, however, that it is not a waiver of treaty rights for which the American government contents, but applies only to the matter of damages. It is practically certain that if the United States allows the dispute to go to The Hague for interpretation of the treaty provision or continues the academic discussion of principles through the channel of diplomacy, it will insist that, meanwhile, Germany refrain from violation of what the United States contends are its rights. The entire dispute resolves about article 13 of the Prussian-American treaty of 1799, which was revived and included in the treaty of 1828. Differ on Interpretation. "That article, the United States contends, specifically protected the William P. Frye from being sunk, although it did not protect a contraband cargo. Germany takes precisely an opposite view, contending that the article only obligates her to pay damages. Furthermore, Germany replies that as the Frye's cargo of wheat destined to England was contraband, the ship was liable to confiscation, and that as an attempt to take the prize into a German port would have imperilled her captor, the destruction of the Frye was according to general principles of international law. "The right of sinking," says the German note, "is not mentioned in the treaty and is therefore neither expressly prohibited, so that on this point the party stipulations must be supplemented by the general rules of international law." "It is not disputed by the American government that according to the general principles of international law a belligerent is authorized in sinking neutral vessels under almost any conditions for carrying contraband." The note argues at length for the German interpretation of the disputed treaty provision, contending that its intent is to establish a reasonable compromise between the military interests of the belligerent contracting party and the commercial interests of the neutral party. Contends for Right. "On the oile hand," says the note, "the belligerent party is to have the right to prevent the transportation of war supplies to his adversaries, even when carried on vessels of the neutral party; on the other hand, the commerce and navigation of the neutral party is to be interfered with as little as possible by the measures necessary for such prevention, and reasonable compensation is to be paid for any inconvenience or damage which may, nevertheless, ensue from the proceeding of the belligerent party." That, in short, is Germany's argument, based on her interpretation of the treaty and to that, the view of the United States is squarely opposed. Payment for the Frye in the manner suggested will not affect the question of rights under the treaty. A German prize court on July 10 held the imperial government for damages but fixed no amount since the United States declined to become a party to the proceeding. The case of the American steamer Leelanaw, recently sunk by a German submarine, is parallel to the Frye case. Lone Thief Gets Cash Cedar Rapids, Ia. — The Cedar Rapids National bank was held up and robbed of $21,300 by a lone robber, who, at the point of a revolver, compelled Leo Perrin, the paying teller, to open the vaults and afterward locked him up. Perrin was in the bank at 6:30 a.m. to get out currency shipments for banks; and had just opened the outer door of the vault when the man stepped before him and ordered him to open the remaining doors. As soon as the currency safe was reached the band helped himself, SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1915. DO NOT SIGN THEM! Throughout Ohio petitions are being circulated in the motion-picture theaters and elsewhere which are aimed at the State Board of Film Censors. Those persons behind the petitions seek to wipe out the board. It ought not to be necessary for The Gazette to remind our people of the state of the fact that the State Board, with Gov. F. B. Willis at its back, has been our "bulwark of defense" thus far in our fight on vicious and harmful photo plays. DO NOT SIGN THE PETTIONS! The Gazette is indebted to Mr. H. L. Moore of Alliance, for calling its attention to this matter. Our people need never hesitate to do the same thing whenever they feel to do so. We will appreciate it. Help to keep "the Old Reliable" Gazette posted on all matters of vital race interest. ERNEST O. ORSBURN The editor of The Gazette never had a brother, but if it is possible for one not so closely allied by the blood-tie to become really and truly a brother in everything else, then that is the relation that existed between Ernest O. Orsburn and the writer from the early days of their youth until his unexpected death on Thursday afternoon of last week after an illness of but a day and a half. As boys and young men we sang, played and worked together in this city. For more than a decade (until other employment compelled him to leave the city) Ernest Orsburn had entire charge of the local department of this paper and rendered yeoman service freely and without price, just as a true brother would, when it was most needed—in the early days of its publication. This interest in The Gazette never for a single moment lagged through all the intervening years as he changed his place of residence from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, to Lawrenceville, Va., and finally to Raleigh, N. C. It was always "Erny" and "Harry," with us and all that that brotherly familiarity of address would signify to the tenderest and kindest hearted. He was loyalty itself, genial, gentle, pure and of clean-mind—a Christian gentleman, "the most moral man" (all his life) ERNEST O. ORSBURN of any class or race, we have ever known. As Dr. John E. Hunter of Lexington, Ky., who knew him from boyhood days, wrote us a few days ago Mr. Orsburn was "an ideal man." This year, as in every preceding one, when he came north to visit among his relatives and hosts of friends in his old home, he wrote us, when en route, from each stopping place—from Raleigh, Lexington, Cincinnati, Springfield and last week Monday from Chicago, saying he would be with us on "Tuesday," the following day, "sometime." He was delayed in that city leaving on last week Tuesday evening and arriving in Cleveland, Wednesday morning, so ill that he took to his bed, never to rise again, in health, and died. Thursday afternoon. Yes, we have lost the only brother we ever had and feel it deeply, and shall continue to do so for many, very many years to come—if we live. The race has lost one of its purest gems and a positive yet modest factor, in the uplift effort, which it would be difficult to duplicate at this time. He earned and merited the reward he is receiving. Of this we are positive. An aching heart beats in sympathy with those of the relatives of the deceased and all who knew him. OHIO WILL HAVE AN EXHIBIT. The Ohio Commission to the Illinois Half-Century Exposition, at Chicago, Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, this year, which consists of Miss Hallie L. Brown of Wilberforce, Miss Dora E. Johnson of Norwalk, Wm. A. Anderson of Wilberforce, Gen. J. Warren Keifer of Spring field and Gen. R. B. drown of Zanesville, informs The Gazette that it is their purpose to have an exhibit in spite of the delay in the receipt of the $5,000, appropriated by the Ohio Assembly and which Attorney Gen. Edwin C. Turner has ruled will not be available until Sept. 5-6, because of the law which requires 90 days to elapse before the payment of legislative appropriations. The Commission is sending out letters daily asking our people of this state to join in the effort to place a creditable exhibit in the "Lincoln Jubilee and Exposition" and we sincerely trust that they will do so promptly. It will require aggressive action owing to the short time intervening before the opening date of the exposition. Send everything that will be creditable to the race when placed on exhibition. The expense in sending and returning what is to be exhibited will be paid by the Commission. Persons desiring additional information can secure the same by addressing Miss Hallie Q Brown, Homewood Cottage, Wilber force, Ohio. The Gazette urges Ohio Afro-Americans to show the loyal race interest in this matter that has characterized similar efforts in the past. We cannot afford to have an exhibit at the exposition that will not be worthy representation of our thrift and industry. All over this country it is generally recognized that Ohio Afro-Americans lead and this reputation must be sustained, in this instance, just as it has been in all others in the past. THE CELEBRATION A FAILURE. Sharon, Pa., July 29, 1915. Hon, Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette I turned up sick this morning, and had to leave work and come home. On my way home from the shop I stopped at the post office for mail, and received the last issue of that "race trumpet." The Gazette, and to say the least, there is not a word at present in my mind and it is hard for me to recall one that I feel suitable to express the pleasure it afforded me to read the news that that journal contained. To call you a hero, in my view, is to express that that stands up so strongly for the race and knows that by doing so he is making enemies of some so-called "race leaders." But only as an humble minister, I hope for you and your watchful periodical, God-speed and success so long as you continue to stand for manhood and racial uplift; and hope that the rest of our thinking men will get behind you and give me the courage to believe that could not go to bed without speaking to you a word of encouragement. As to Luna Park, Cleveland, I can but wonder why those men persist in trying to entertain at a place where they are discriminated against! No one feels the effect of such a thing more keenly than I do, having so recently come from the far southland where I am the most prominent than Christian worship. And that is the reason why I am in this part of the country; simply because I grew tired of being crushed and humiliated because I am of African blood. If all I read is true—that the promoters of the emancipation celebration, Aug. 22, 1915, intend to entertain at Luna Park, Cleveland, and know that they are discriminated against the people of the world worse than those of Jackson, Miss., for the white people there had a fail last November and shut the Negroes out of certain places and they boy cotted the fair. And I hope the ladies will notice this action of their men and resent it by not attending the Cleveland Luna park "E-Man-See-Pashion" outing and when "E-Man" goes there will find that "Fashion" is the best way to bring him to his senses. Now suppose one of the promoters to take his company or daughter to the park any day in the year except, Aug. 2, in company with a friend—a Chianman, Japanese, Spaniard, or Arabian and his wife—and all wanted to enjoy the dance-hall, roller-rink or the bathing-pool and be admitted to the Afro-American would be admitted and the Afro-American would be admitted to the park to avoid a lawsuit, or to cover up their discrimination. I suppose of course they (the emancipation promoters), to make it strong enough for our people to not notice what they were doing, would get up an "emancipation celebration," because this old-time and almost workout affair, appeals to the Negro because of the fact that some of their slaves take to it. Thus the promoters gather in a little money at the expense of manhood and race pride and self-respect. Mr. Smith, I like to talk with you and read The Gazette because you have impressed me that your meaning is good and that you are a MAN and will stand up for the race at your own expense. God knows if I was able—that is had money—I would join you, but please accept my good opinion and my hard work. I must ask the artist will pray for your success. MAY GOD BLESS YOU! Please do not notice mistakes for my head is aching too bad to read this over and correct it; but I feel that you know me and can plainly see what I mean. We regret greatly that the foregoing was not received in time to have been published in our issue of last week—before the alleged "emancipation celebration" failure of Monday last at color-line Luna park, this city. We have one other regret in connection with the miserable affair and that is the fact that, too late for publication in our Gazette of last week, we learned that the management had a large banner-sign placed in a conspicuous place in Luna park on which was the announcement that the "ocean-surf bathing pool would be closed for repairs on August 2, 1915," the date of the alleged "emancipation celebration." This is nothing new. It is true, for the pool has never been opened to our people even on the so-called "emancipation celebration" days at the park, in spite of the fact that the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. AUGUST 7, 1915 Cleveland Association of Colored Men in their public announcements made promises to the contrary. No wonder God Almighty poured out his wrath in an almost continuous down-pour of rain, last Monday, thereby aiding The Gazette and its faithful following, which comprises the self and race-respecting Afro-Americans with manhood and womanhood, throughout northern Ohio, to so materially cut down "the flow of our people's hard-earned dollars into the coffers of the color-line Luna park management as to make the alleged "emancipation celebration that failure from a financial viewpoint and others." HANK THE LORD! If any one of our local ministers, members of the Ministers' Alliance, had the courage of Rev. G. A. Sissle (deceased) to speak out, in open church, against the outrage local Negroes perpetrated upon our people of this and other northern Ohio communities in promoting that miserable affair of Monday last, at Luna park, we have yet to hear of it. And they boast to their congregations of being brave, courageous, etc., etc. Good Lord, have mercy! Our friend Price in his letter tells plainly the difference between certain Negroes in Cleveland and northern Ohio and others in his former home—Jackson, Mississippi. No wonder Prof. Joel E. Springing, Editor W. Monroe Trotter and every man who has spoken to our people in this city in recent years, has so roundly denounced the "jim-crow" Negro and implored us to be MEN and WOMEN, and to fight down insult and discrimination, on account of race or color or both, in ALL public places. They certainly did not urge us to place a PREMIUM upon such miserable mistreatment, by caring thousands of dollars of our hard earned money to color-line public places like Luna park. Will the Cleveland Association of Colored Men heed the clarion call? We shall see.

CASH-ORSBURN OBITUARY In all the years we have lived in this community we have never known our people here to be so thoroughly shocked by anything as they were, last week Thursday, by the announcement of the deaths of Henry W. Cash and Ernest O. Orsburn, husband and uncle, respectively, of Mrs. Ida Brown Cash of E. 36th St. Both men "passed out" in the same house—the former of the same family, and only a few days' illness (pneumonia), and the latter who arrived the morning before from Chicago, in the afternoon of the same day (Thursday), after but a day and a half's illness (apoplexy). It was heart-rending—enough to have broken the heart of a much stronger person than the sorrow of a mournful niece, respectively, who has stood the exceptional ordeal like a Spartan. Mr. Cash, age 50, was a skilled mechanic and in the employ (for years) of The Ferry Cap and Set Screw Co., which prized his expert services highly. He was also active in local church and musical circles, being an officer of St. John's A. M. E. church and leader of its S. S. and Antoch Baptist S. S. orchestras. He was born in Murfreesboro, Tenn., came to this city from Cuyahoga Falls where he spent his boy and early manhood days. Mr. and Mrs. Cash were united in marriage, in this city, about five years ago. He met another brother, other relatives and other friends and acquaintances to mourn his loss. Mr. Cash was a fine man—a Christian gentleman. His immediate relatives have the earnest sympathy of the community. Mr. Orsburn, "Erny" as he was familiarly known by a host of friends and acquaintances in a host and many other cities of the country, was born in London, Canada, in 1859, coming to Cleveland with his parents in 1865. Here he was schooled, graduating from the University of Chicago. For years he was in charge of the local department of The Gazette, at the same time being employed as stationary clerk of the C. C. C. I. & St. L. Ry. Co., afterward the "Big Four," and now the "N. Y. Central Ry." When the offices of the company were moved to Indianapolis about twenty years later, he was appointed the "Big Four" changed his place of residence, too, but invariably came "home" to spend his vacation, until sickness made it necessary for him to resign the clerkship and return to recuperate. Many months were required for this. It was then he was compelled, out of consideration for his health, to take up education at work at St. Lawrence University, Lawrenceville, Va., where he remained some years, finally going to a better position at "St. Augustine," another Episcopal church school, at Raleigh, N. C., where he remained until death called him. He arrived in the city, last week Wednesday morning, from Chicago where he had been working. Mrs. Sadie Cisco Bolden, leaving for Cleveland apparently in the best of health and spirits. "Erny" was confirmed in the Episcopal church in the early "eighties," a member of the choir of Grace P. E. church, and librarian of its S. S., for years when a young man, and a member of that church until his death. He is survived by a brother, Robert; two nieces, Mrs. C. Bolden and Mrs. Messrs J. Brown and Wm. H. Cisco, and a host of friends and acquaintances who sincerely mourn his demise. The double funeral, last Saturday afternoon, at St. John's church was one of the saddest occasions this city has ever had. The auditorium and gallery were filled; the floral tributes were most profuse and beautiful, covering the front of the rostrum as well as the caskets, some coming from out of the city. The rector of St. Andrews P. E. church, in the unavoidable absence of the rector of Grace P. E. church, read the Episcopal service over the remains of Mr. Orsman, and the pastor of St. John's church conducted the service for those of the congregation from the Anti-organizations of St. John's and Antioch churches were read, after which those who desired to, had an opportunity to view the remains. At the double grave in Mrs. Cash's lot at Woodland cemetery, the masons' service was read and interment followed.

ORDERS IN COUNCIL LEGAL,SAYS BRITAIN Blockade Is Wholly Within International Law, Declares England. WASHINGTON'S STAND IS UNSUSTAINABLE Great Britain's Replies to Latest American Representations Against Interferences With Neutral Commerce Reject Entirely the Contention of the United States. Washington, D. C. — Great Britain's replies to the latest American representations against interferences with neutral commerce reject entirely the contention that the orders in council are illegal and justify the British course as being wholly within international law. "Unsustainable either in point of law or upon principles of international justice," the American protest against the blocked neutral ports. The reply contains an invitation to submit to international arbitration any cases in which the United States is satisfied with the action of British prince. Great Britain's reply, embodied in two notes, one supplemental, was made public here Tuesday night and in London simultaneously by the British government. While the note was made public also the correspondence over the American steamer Naches, seized by the British who enroute from Rotterdam to the United States with goods of German origin. Changed conditions of warfare, the British note contends, require a new application of the principles of international law. The advent of the submarine, the airship and the alleged atrocities by German troops in Belgium are cited as justification for the exercise of extreme measures. Call Blockade Entirely Justified. The blockade is justified on the content that the universally recognized fundamental principle of the belligerent is entitled to cut off "by effective means the sea borne commerce of his enemy." The note reiterates that Great Britain will apply the complement of, although not without every effort to avoid embarrassment to neutralis, and observes that the American statistics show that any loss in trade with Germany and Austria has been more than overbearable and the increase of other industrial activities in the In the general reply to the American representations against the orders in council, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign minister, addressing Ambassador Page, said that the measures that may be able to convince the administration in Washington "that the measures we have announced are not only reasonable and necessary in themselves, but also necessary in the old principles of blockade to the peculiar circumstances with which we are confronted." I need scarcely dwell" wrote Sir Edward, who obligations incumbent upon the allies to take every step in their power to overcome their common enemy in view of the shocking violation of the recognized rules and principles of civilized warfare of which he has been guilty during the war. Sir Edward then refers to alleged atrocities in Belgium, poisoning of wells in German Southwest Africa, use of poisonous gases against the allied troops in the Austrian and Russian armies, to show "how indispassible it is that we should leave unused no justifiable a method of defending ourselves." Coming down to the question of the allied blockade of neutral ports, the note "In the various notes which I have received from your excellency, the right of a belligerent to establish a blockade of a city, which has obviously no value save in so far as it gives power to a belligerent to cut off the sea-borne exports and imports of his enemy, the institutions which I understand the United States government now puts forward is that if a belligerent is so constrained that his commerce can pass through ports as through ports in his own territory, his opponent has no right to interfere, and must restrict his measures of blockade in such a manner as to leave such avenues open to commerce." This is a contention which his majesty's government feel unable to accept and which seems to them unsustainable either in the upon principles of international equity. Unable to Admit Wrong "They are unable to admit that a belligerent violates any fundamental principle of blockade in such a way as to offend the enemy's commerce with foreign countries through neutral ports, if the circumstances render such an application of the principle to the only means of making it effective. "The government of the United States, indeed, intimates its readiness to take action against governmental blockade were have occurred in the conditions and means of naval warfare since the rules litherto governing local blockade were no longer applicable to the ports of close blockade with its cordon of ships in the immediate offing of the blockaded ports is no longer 'practicable in the face of such port conditions,' a port of great portility to make an effective defense by the use of submarines, mines and air craft." "You only question, then, which carriage in regard to the measures resorted to for the purpose of carrying out a blockade upon these extended lines is, whether to your excellent's words, they 'conform to the spirit and principles of the treaty,' to your content to apply this test to the action which we have taken in so far as it has necessitated interference with neutral countries." Sir Edward Grey then refers to the American Civil war blockade of 3,000 miles of coast with a small number of warships. The United States finally took recourse to blockading "neutral territory which afforded convenient centers from which contraband could be introduced into Confederate territory" Says War Boots Boy Babes. Portland, Ore.—In an address here Dr. Kendrick Smith of Boston told delegates to the convention of the American Osteopathic association that the number of boys born following a great war exceeds the number of girls, because underfed and weakened parents are likely to produce male offspring. "It seems," he said, "that great vitality is necessary when female offspring are born." Wednesday was surgical day at the convention and several papers were read on this branch of the science. Blast Is Fatal to Three Philadelphia, Pa.—Two soldiers and a civilian lost their lives at the United States arsenal at Frankford, this city, in an explosion of time fuses used on shrapnel shells. Another civilian was injured. The dead are: Arthur B. Rundlett, first class private, ordnance department; home, Boston. Prasilea Frasco, second class private, ordnance department, New York City. James F. Harkins, civilian, Philadelphia. and from which blockade running could be facilitated. "Your excellency will no doubt remember to warn you, 'how, in order to meet this new difficulty, plies relating to contraband and blockade were developed and the doctrine of continuous voyage was applied and enforced under which goods destined for the enemy territory were intercepted before they were to be re-exported. The difficulties which imposed on them, some of the old rules are somewhat akin to those with which the allies are now faced in dealing with the trade of their enemy. Adjacent to Germany are convenient opportunities for carrying on her trade with foreign countries. Her own territories are covered by a network of railways and waterways which enable them to move through ports in such neutral countries as through her own. A blockade limited to enemy ports would leave open routes by which every kind of German commerce was passed through the ports in her own territory. "Rotterdam is, indeed, the nearest outlet for some of the industrial districts of Germany. * * * * It seems, accordingly, that if it were that a blockade is made in certain cases the trade of intercepting the trade of an enemy country and if the blockade can only become effective by extending it to enemy commerce passing through neutral ports, such an extension is defensible and in action it would cause the states which have met with general acceptance." The note then refers to the case of the British ship Springbok, seized by United States cruisers during the Civil war while the blockade was being made, because her cargo, it was charged, was to be transshipped to the Confederate states. The supreme court of the United States sustained the seizure against the condemnation of a group of prominent international and British governments took the broader view and recognized the development of the older method of blockade. No protest was made by Great Britain, in the general interest," says the note. "Is that adaptations of the old rules should not be made unless they are consistent with the general principle upon which an admitted belligerent right is based. It is also essential that all necessary injury to neutral countries be avoided." "With these conditions it may be safely affirmed that the stops we are taking to intercept commodities on their way to and from Germany fully comply. We are in compliance with the conditions which should not be certified to interfere by blockade if the geographical position and the conditions of Germany at present are not the same as through our own ports. We are taking the utmost possible care not to interfere with commerce genuinely destined for or proceeding from neutral countries, and we are prepared to impress the severity with which our measures might press upon neutrals not by applying the rule which was invariable in the old form of blockade, that slips and goods on their way to and from blocked area are liable to condemnation. Reviews Forma of Blockades. The note then reviews at some length the various forms in which blockades have been maintained to show there has been no uniformity of practice in very essential points, and declares: "The nature of the blockade is its fundamental and has obtained universal recognition is that by means of blockade a belligerent is entitled to cut off by effective means the sea-borne commerce of his enemy." Consequently, Sir Edward argues, it is impossible to maintain that the right of a belligerent to intercept the commerce of his enemy can be limited in the way suggested in the American notes on the subject: "There are many cases," he says, "in which proofs that the goods were enemy property would afford strong evidence that they were of enemy origin or enemy origin of the goods that we are detaining them. Where proof of enemy ownership would afford no evidence of such origin or destination, we are not in practice of detaining the Sir Edward's note closes with the observation that "figures of recent months show that the increased opportunities for commerce have more than compensated for the loss of the German and Austrian markets. We shall continue to apply these measures with every desire to accession to least personals to persons engaged in legitimate commerce." In the supplemental note, which is a reply to the American caveat giving notice that the United States would not recognize the orders in council in lieu of international law, Sir Edward Grey writes that "the existence of views as to the principles of law applicable in cases before the prize court the government of the United States resumes existing between the two countries as to the principles of law applicable in cases before such courts." Sir Edward compares the rules governings British prize courts to the rules applied by American courts. He considers The supplemental note then proceeds with a long legal argument to demonstrate practicality of a prize court stating governmental jurisdiction at the same time by municipal law in the form of orders in council. It finally comes to cases of the steamer Zamora, in the present order, in which the British court declared: "The nations of the world need not be apprehensive that orders in council will this country in such violation of the acknowledged laws of nations that it is conceivable that our prize tribunals, holding the court of the United States, are called upon to disregard and refuse obedience to the provisions of such orders." Sir Edward then points out that the beginning measures taken under them have not yet been brought to a decision. In a prize court, but he reminds the United States that the claim is before the prize court, to contend that any order in council which may affect his claim is inconsistent with the principles of international law and is, "If the prize court declines to accept his contentions, and if, after such a decision has been upheld on appeal by the judicial committee of his majesty's privy council, the government of the United States consider that there is serious ground for holding that the decision is incorrect and infringes the rights of their citizens, it is open to them to claim that the court should review by an international tribunal." Woman Leaps in Front of Flyer. Huntington, W. Wa. — The rigors of the Harrison anti-narcotic law caused Mrs. Amelia Pigle of Cattlesburg, Ky., to commit suicide by leaping in front of a Chesapeake & Ohio flyer. The woman was a habitual drug user and since the federal law went into effect had been unable to obtain any drug. She stood behind a telegraph pole and as the train neared tucked her skirts tightly about her, jumped to the middle of the tracks and was in the act of sitting down with her back to the engine when it struck her. Weds in Chapel Royal. London, Eng.—In the Chapel Royal of St. James' palace, surounded by representatives of royalty, Miss Katherine Alice Page, daughter of Walter Hines Page, American ambassador to England, Wednesday was married to Charles Greeley Loring of Boston. The most remarkable feature of the wedding was that it was held in the Chapel Royal at the personal invitation of King George V himself. It had the distinction of being the first strictly American wedding ceremony ever performed in the chapel. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1915 SECOND TO KRUPP'S British Arsenal at Woolwich Is Immense Plant. Munitions of War Being Turned Out In Enormous Quantities to Supply Forces Engaged in France and Turkey. When "Good Queen Bess," in 1585, decided to establish a store of arms and armor at the old Tower house, a mansion in Woolwich Warren, adjoining the then boggy and unhealthy marshes of Plumstead, she little thought that by so doing she was founding Britain's greatest arsenal, which 330 years later would be giving employment to 30,000 men, earning more than $500,000 a week for making munitions of war for the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. That small armory at the Tower house, however, was the origin of the Woolwich arsenal of today, which covers 600 acres, and where guns of all sizes, every form of military wagon, shot, shell, torpedoes, cartridges, bullets, war signals, life-saving rockets, and high explosives are manufactured. Even in the bygone days, however, Woollow figured largely in military history. It was Prince Rupert who protected the Warren with batteries in Charles II's reign, and other fortifications, which have now disappeared, were added by that king's successor. The Dutch several times threatened the dockyards at Woolwich and at Chatam, while at the end of the seventeenth century two French privateers were captured off Woolwich. It is obvious that the secrets of the arsenal are most jealously guarded, particularly at the present time. Indeed, the government, since the war broke out, has adopted the precaution of recalling all text-books about the arsenal, although in peace times, when the average number of men employed there is about 14,000, visitors of British nationality, desirous of seeing the arsenal, may do so by obtaining an order from the war office. It might be mentioned, however, that among 'he most effective guns manufactured at Woolwich are the famous six-inch howitzers of which the French speak so highly, while one of the latest time-saving ideas is to dip military wagons bodily in huge tanks of paint and hang them up to dry. Woolwich arsenal is really divided into three great departments, called respectively the Royal Gun factories, the Royal Carriage department and the Royal laboratory. It is in the latter that every kind of experiment is made with explosives, and where officers and soldiers learn their use and effectiveness, while in the gun factories, which are filled with machinery of the best and most modern kind, guns of all sizes are manufactured for the army and tested over the extensive practice ranges which were formerly the Plumstead marshes. Apart from the actual workshops, there are various important military establishments at Woolwich. There is the Artillery college, for instance, which gives special training to officers of the Royal Artillery in order to fit them for appointments in the manufacturing departments of the arsenal. Then there is the Royal Military academy, the oldest military school in the kingdom, where men destined for the Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers begin their training. The Royal dockyards at Woolwich was closed nearly fifty years ago, but it continues to be used as a military store depot, and it is interesting to note that it was the first, and for very long the principal, dockyard in the kingdom. The Great Harry was built there in 1562, the Royal George in 1751, the Galatea in 1859, and more than 200 other ships. And the curious may spend many an interesting hour in the Rotunda museum, which contains the finest collection of military antiquities and models in the world. BELT VAULT FOR THE BATHER Does Away With the Necessity of Leaving Jewelry and Other Valuables in a Locker. Made large enough so that it may be used to carry cigarettes and matches, or personal jewelry, including a man's-size watch, a water-tight Belt Vault for Bathers and Fishers case fixed to a canvas belt that straps about the body has been devised for bathers. Its use precludes the theft of money or other things of value which otherwise would be left in a locker.—Popular Mechanics. Some Difference. Marcella—Mr. Beanbrough had a rude awakening. Waverly—What do you mean? Hustah—What? Beanbrough Waverly—What do you mean? Marcella—He thought Penelope was smiling at him. "Yes." "When in reality she was giving him the laugh." Naturally. "So the catch of the season has gone off and got married." "Yes." "I darsay there was a sound of mourning when all the belles were told." GIVES DOUBLE SERVICE GOWN DESIGNED FOR AFTER NOON OR EVENING WEAR. Fine White Silk Net Employed 'In Making the Blouse—Tunic and Sash Give Unusual Features to Attractive Costume. An interesting gown is shown in the accompanying cut, one of that variety designed for no particular occasion, but which, possibly, for that very reason, gives more than double the service of the other kind. It may be worn in the afternoon or evening, for formal or informal affairs, without ever looking out of place. Fine white silk net is used for the full guipme blouse, mounted over flesh-colored net, while for the skirt a lace-bordered net is joined to a hem of white taffeta by a band of lace insertion, upon which a zigzag line of pearl beads appears to lace the two edges together. The blouse is shirred around the top, and the neck finished with an upstanding frill some four or five inches high across the back, that gradually narrows until it is no more than a beading in front. The sleeves are long and of the bishop style, gathered in at the wrists under a double ruffle of the same material. Over the blouse is worn a quaint kit jacket the vest of prune-colored satin or taffeta, made with a deep V neck that has a slight flare across the back, to give a partial effect of a collar—a much becoming line than the straight line. The vest meets only across the bust, with each corner caught together by a snapper, from that point the lower edge describes a gradual sloping line to the sides, and in back it is cut off even with the waist line. The tunic and sash are the unusual features in this design. The former is of prune-colored satin, brocaded in a large design in dull silver thread, and the latter is of white taffeta, arranged as a part of the dress and not MARIE BERGER Handsome Frock of Satin and Net. put on over it every time the dress is put on over it every time the dress is four yards long, for after encircling the waist it is crossed in front, then carried around the hips to the back and tied in a bow with pendant ends. The tunic is applied to the lower edge of the sash across the sides and back with even gathers. Its length is equal to that of the skirt, and the space left between the open front edges meas ures about nine inches. BELTS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS Variety of Styles and Materials Allows Wide Choice—Military Effect Most Popular. A wide variety of belts suggests the military effect in soldat blue, sand, putty and black and white. Usually metal buckles further carry out the military idea. A suede leather belt, two inches wide, has hitched edges and is ornamented with a double row of ball-shaped gilt military buttons. It is fitted with two pockets, which button with a single brass button. These belts come in various colors. A new military belt in suspender EASY TO FRESHEN FABRICS Powder Restores Color to Goods That Have Been Injuriously Affected by Wear or the Sun. A powder comes for the purpose of restoring faded color to thin fabrics without dyeing them. It is sold in little pasteboard boxes in all the light colors—lavender, pink, blue, ecru and other pastel shades. After you have washed the faded fabric until it is clean, you sprinkle some of this powder in the rinsing water, and rinse the fabric until it has absorbed enough of the color. Of course, the powder has to be used each time the fabric is washed. But it is much easier and more satisfactory than a dye, that must be boiled in, for some things. Crepe de chine underwear, for instance, or negligee of a fragile sort or flimsy blouses can be wonderfully freshened and brightened with this colored powder. Eve had the best husband in the world—at that time. UNDER WOOD The skirt of this white checked beach creation is full and flaring and gathered at the waist. The waist with its high military collar is severe in its plainness. A very novel idea is carried out by pockets which, instead of being sewed into the dress, are attached to two strips of braid and sawed on underneath the belt. The entire dress is trimmed with white silk braid. A hat and parasol of the same material complete this striking dress. style is made of sodat blue suede, trimmed with gilt military braid and gilt buttons. It fastens with a plain brass buckle. Another belt is made of khaki-colored suede with stitched trimmings of black patent leather, finished with a brass buckle embossed with a flag. A belt of light-brown suede is trimmed with narrow-stitched straps of black patent leather and finished with brass buttons. It fastens with a circular gilt buckle in military design. A black and white kid belt in a checkerboard or block design comes in various patterns and different widths, one and one-half and two inches wide being the most popular. They are finished with nickel buckles. A striking white kid belt, two and one-half inches wide, is decorated with narrow-stitched bands of black suede in two widths. Two stitched straps of the white kid, with covered buckle ends, form the fastening. The girdles of the 1830 period are extremely quaint and dressy. They are in a wide variety of models, combinations and colors and in various widths. They have quaint, old-fashioned forms of decoration, including steel buckles, rhinestone ornaments, jet cabochons, military buttons, cames, etc. An unusually dressy design is six inches wide and is made of battleship gray satin in a shredred and boned model. It is finished with shoulder straps in suspender style, these being made of narrow black velvet ribbon, edged with deep black lace three and one-half inches wide. The same lace is used to form a large rosette at the center top of the girdle, where it is caught by a let cabochon. POCKETS RETURN TO FAVOR Women Will Welcome Change in Fashion That Has Marked Tendency to Increase Comfort. Frivolline, in L'Art et la Mode, speaks of the fashion of pockets "We are going to have pockets again," she writes, "which is a logical outcome of the return to short dresses that demand absolute freedom of movement and liberty, in view of the simple life we are adopting. "Pockets already existed, numerous and of all sizes, in our tailored coats, but this summer it is on our skirts themselves that, varied, embroidered or plain, little or big, we must have them. For the moment they are very apparent, marked by stitching or a little braid; generally they are rounded and placed very near the waist line. "Others, more amusing, accompanying the robes of blue serge, are placed a little further back on each hip, like the flying pockets of the Brittany and Normandy fisher folk. It is a very good way to bring last year's skirts up to date, if they are too narrow." To Make Smelling Sweat To make smelling salts, procure an ounce of rock volatile and break it into small pieces. Put it into the bottle, and then cover with a aeau-de-cologne. Let it stand a few days and it is ready for use. A new "1830" corset, made of silk tricolor, with gussets of elastic which allow a slight spring over the hips is being shown. The top of the corset comes rather high over the bust and very straight, trim lines are given the upper part of the figure. Below the waist this "old fashioned" corset is only six inches long and makes no pretense of holding in the hips. A radial departure, this, from the low-busted, long-hipped corset to which women have become accustomed, but the new stay is supposed to give the proper full-petticoat under the close-bodied, full-petticoat dance frock of the moment. Whether it is comfortable or not is another matter which women inured to the loose-waisted, low-busted corset must decide for themselves. To Shrink Wash Goods Put the goods into a pan, cover with boiling water and let stand until cook enough to handle. Gingham treated in this way never shrinks afterward and in a boiling water "eats" the color without in the least injuring the material. CAP and BELLS S. CREW LOOSE WANTED WINE Rich American -Ordered Pint of Straussberger and Quart of Yenkelsbrau From Passenger List. The Dinnills was cutting merrily through the Bistongle strait. "Waiter," ordered S. Crew Loose, looking critically over the card, "bring me a pint bottle of Straussberger and a quart of Yenkelsbrau." "Y—Yes, sir," said the waiter, uneasily. Now on all ships of the East Polish Lloyd line the orders are to produce whatever the passengers demand, so the waiter rushed to the portlight kitchenette, where the steward was. "That rich American wants some wines that we don't carry—Straussberger and Yenkelsbrau!" he panted. "What shall I do? He says they're on the wine card." "Straussberger and Yenkelsbrau? Never heard of of 'em?' cried the steward, and rushed off to where the captain was pacing the belay deck. "The rich American wants Straussberger and Yenkelsbrau wine?" he gasped. "The waiter said he read it off the wine card." "Wine, you marine cuttlefish! roared the captain. "The boob land-lubber is reading the passenger list!"—Detroit Free Press. Proved by Experiment One of the young ensigns who was acting as teacher on the battleship Texas asked the question, "What are the two principal parts of a sentence?" expecting to get the answer, "Subject and predicate." An old salt scratched his head in perplexity and at last replied: "Solitary confinement and bread and water."—The Sailor's Magazine.

BIG CHANGES IN ETIQUETTE Independence of Woman Compels Man to Abandon Courtesy for Neutrality—Must Drop Gallantry. "Well, mother, this new order of things is making great changes in etiquette. Do you realize it?" "What do you mean? What new order?" "Why, feminism, the independence of woman, of course. She has put herself on the same platform with men, and it is up to us to recognize the fact and respect it." "I hope you do respect it." "Oh, yes, I try. We must abandon courtesy for neutrality, of course. So I keep my hat on in elevators, as if all the woman occupants were men; keep to my seat in the street cars; never hold a door open to let even a lady pass before me. If she drops her handkerchief, I don't pick it up any more. In short, if she needs any little service, I refrain from offering it. I know she is able to look after herself as well as any man." "You rude boy! You have none of the gallantry of your father before you, and I can only ask if you are not ashamed of yourself!" —Judge. Mysterious Disappearance "Queer week happened on my place last week," remarked Farmer Hoptoad. "Thought my hired man had disappeared." "And hadn't he?"

"Some evenings he plays the game and others he merely keeps putting in money for his friends to play for." In Authority "Your boy said that when he got to town he was going to tell some of those city folks where they get off." "Well," replied Farmer Corntosell, "that's what he doin'.
