IN VISTOR IN VISTOR MRS. MARY G. HAY Mrs. Mary G. Hay, chairman of the woman's suffragist party in New York, conducted recently a novel campaign in the metropolitan which thousands of men were called up by telephone and asked to voice their sentiments on the subject of votes for women. DECLARES NQAH ATE THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT Professor Who Has Translated Mystic Hieroglyphics Says Adam and Eve Didn't Commit Ancient Crime. Philadephja, Pa—Who ate the forbidden fruit and by that act condemned all mankind to suffering and death? No, you're wrong, all wrong—it was Noah, heretofore shown only as the faithful skipper of the famous ark. Poor Adam and Eve, who have been maligned for that calamitous deed throughout these numerous aeons, at last are vindicated; they lived and died in their idyllic Eden without even thinking of making a banquet of the cassia tree's yield. It was -Noah, Noah the grandiose, praised of the world. At least that's what Dr. Steven Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford university, will have us believe. No he does make this revolutionary assertion idify, it is to an ancient Samurian tablet now reposing in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania that he points for proof. He has translated the mystic hieroglyphics thereon and written a book about them, and this book has just been issued by the museum people. The aforesaid brief against the hoary conqueror of the flood is the main theme of the book, or rather, as Dr. Langdon puts it, the charge held against him in the Samurian theology. And he goes on to state in his scholarly way that this particular theology is a more thousand years old, so than the Book of Oddities, in which our ancestors were blamed our downfall. The fact, however, that the Samurian allegations were pigeonholed, thrown out of court or otherwise effectively disposed of in the days of Abraham doesn't prove anything to Dr Langdon. Still accepting Dr. Langdon's authority, this venerable slab is the best calcium yet to be thrown into the abyss of the past. It corrects many false impressions we have childishly (in our ignorance) harbored about paradise, the creation and the flood. Eden, it affirms, was situated on the east coast of the Arabian gulf, a hundred miles distant from the source of the Tigris-Euphrates. Now, that's just about how far Coney Island is from Philadelphia, so it is not improbable that many vacationists of ye olden times cavorted there on holidays. In this paradise ruled Enkil, the water dog, and his consort, Ninella. Men lived in a state of absolute innocence. Beasts were harmless as kittens. It never stormed. Everybody had nothing to do until tomorrow, as it were. But woe—whoa, too—unto it! Along came Nintu, the goddess, who laid claim to having created mortals from clay. One fair day she appointed Noah chief gardener of this beautiful, perfect place. The only stricture she made was that nobody should taste of the cassia. Noah, however, proved human enough to yearn for what was denied him. The tablet's final revelation is that the last king of paradise ruled 64,800 years, but it doesn't say whether he died young or not. Warns of Army Worm. Washington, D. C.-The department of agriculture has warned the farmers to be prepared to meet the attack of the fall army worm, which is coming east and north from Texas. Alda Stork Vialtation: New York City.-Extensive experiments in a new method of painless childbirth, which is said to incorporate all the good qualities of the Fresburg twilight sleep without the ill effects, have just been completed by Dr. H. C. Allen, electrician of the Cumberland-at hospital, Brooklyn. The new treatment was begun over a year ago following its discovery by Dr. Allen. It consists of administration of nitrous oxide and oxygen instead of scopolamin and narcophin, used in the German formula. THE GAZETTE RIGHTS OF WORKER RIGHTS OF WORKER Review of Court Decisions Affecting Labor Issued. Workmen's Compensation Laws Form Largest Group of Cases—Railroad Employment in Different Phases Another Important Class. The United States bureau of labor statistics has just issued its annual review of court decisions affecting labor as its Bulletin No. 169. Approximately 265 decisions are summarized, dealing with the application and construction of the laws, or with the application of the principles of the common law to the rights and relations of the worker. Decisions of outstanding importance which are reviewed in this bulletin include the final opinions of the appellate and Supreme courts of the United States in the famous Danbury Hatters' case, holding members of unions personally liable for damage from boycotts; the dissolution of the famous injunction in the case of John Mitchell against the Hitchman Coat and Coke company of West Virginia; and holding labor unions legal; and the Supreme court's opinion in the Coppage case, overthrowing the law of Kansas, which undertook to protect workmen in their membership in labor organizations. In the last named case the dissenting opinion, which defended the constitutionality of the act, is also given. The largest group of cases on a single subject is that relating to the new form of legislation known as workmen's compensation laws. The decisions on this subject range from questions of constitutionality, decided adversely in the case of the Kentucky statute and favorably in other state courts, to the determination of definitions or of single points of dispute in considering occupational diseases, for instance, the Massachusetts courts hold lead-poisoning to be within the state act providing for compensation for "personal injuries arising out of and in the course of employment," while the Michigan courts, under the provisions of a state law similarly expressed, hold that a case of lead poisoning is not entitled to compensation. An optic neuritis, induced by inhaling poisonous gases, leads to death in workmen's jobs, while in New Jersey the court disallowed a claim on account of cezema said to be caused by acids used to be caused by chemicals. Other decisions relate to the mode of computing benefits, the definition of the term "casual employment," what constitutes dependency, wilful act, incapacity, etc. Another important group of decisions in a related field is of those determining the application of the federal liability statute to different classes of railroad employees. Several cases are found which turn on the nature of the employment of the injured person, i. e., whether in interstate commerce or not. The courts are not uniform in their construction of this statute, but among the employments found to be within the act were those of a blacksmith repairing cars used in interstate commerce, a telegraph lineman engaged in repair work, workmen installing block signal systems, a carpenter building an addition to a freight shed, a laborer carrying coal to heat a shop in which interstate cars, were being repaired, etc. Employments which according to the decisions were excluded were workmen constructing cut-offs for shortening interstate trackage, a hostler killed by the explosion of the boiler of a locomotive whose last run was interstate, and a switch engine fireman who was at the moment handling only interstate cars, though his work regularly involved the handling of both classes of commerce indiscriminately. Other classes of federal laws that received considerable attention in the court, decisions are those limiting the hours or service of railroad employees, and requiring the supply and maintenance of safety appliances. Other interesting cases are one that grew out of the textile workers' strike, in Massachusetts, in which the accountability of collectors of a fund intended for the relief of strikers families was affirmed; one connected with the bridge workers' campaign against nonunion employers, involving the transportation of explosives in interstate trains; a murder trial growing out of the incitement of a strike leader urging his followers to prevent arrests in the hop pickers' strike in California; and a question of the validity of a sentence of a military court during the disturbances among the miners of Silver Bow county, Montana. The power of an employers' association to enforce its rules is maintained in a case in which such an association was held by the court to be entitled to recover from one of its members the sum of $5,000 as damages for his defection in a struggle against closed shop contracts. In connection with this may be mentioned a case deciding the illegality of a combination in restraint of trade undertaken and carried on by an association of retail lumber dealers by blacklisting wholesale dealers who sold directly to the consumer. The minimum wage law of Oregon is noted in this bulletin as the first law of this class to receive judicial consideration, being upheld by the supreme court of that state. From this decision an appeal has since been taken. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS. Publishers of the Asbury Park (N. J.) Recorder are Encouraged. Asbury Park, N. J. The People's Recorder, E. M. and F. S. Webster owners, celebrated its first anniversary on Friday, July 30. The century has been very successful, notwithstanding in the beginning the owners of the paper had to employ a New York printer to do the work in New York city each week. Many other difficulties confronted the Messrs. Webster; but they exercised great patience and used good judgment, in about nine months they had gained considerable experience and mastered most of the difficult problems which confronted them at the beginning. In relating his early experience with the paper E. M. Webster says: "Seeing the expenses going up and the profits beginning to dwindle, type, press and everything necessary to print the paper was purchased from a New York printers' supply house on the 5th of October, 1914. This enabled us to do jobwork and insert 'last minute' news, which was another stride forward. Since that time the Recorder has steadily fled ahead, slowly but surely. "There were times when things looked dark and discouragement boomed high, but we had only to turn to a little card which we had tacked upon the wall which reads, 'Heaven is not gained by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise,' etc. This gave us new hope and greater courage. On this, the Recorder's first birthday, we find in Summing up that we have made a great stride toward the coveted goal, and with the same good fortune that has attended us in the past we have finally reached the desired end. We extend today our wishes to our readers and supporters, and we wish them the greatest success. "The Recorder has passed the initial stage. Fromman expensive experiment it has partly reached the happy realization of our fondest dreams. Our endeavors have been crowned with a success, that has won the patronage and esteem of many subscribers and advertisers in a field of more than 400 colored publications. "We take this opportunity to thank our many hundreds of subscribers, advertisers, voluntary contributors and well wishers. The encouraging letters received have been many, and they generally came at a time when they were most welcome. Our appreciation is evident by our efforts to please. In the installation of interesting features which, we are able to get from time to time, we are grateful to you. We invite suggestions and criticisms from subscribers and readers. They are always welcome. The Recorder is for the benefit of our people as a race, and we respectfully invite the public to make it their home companion." / ACTIVITY AMONG FARMERS List of Kentucky Delegates to Congress at San Francisco Sept. 26.

National Organization Keeps In Close Touch With Racial Enterprises Boston—The National Negro Business league, which meets here on Wednesday, Aug. 18, says in its notes on racial progress: The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk, Va. is in a very healthy condition. E. C. Brown is president and William M. Rich cushier. The business was started six years ago, with total assets of $10,434. It has increased to $87,27.00. It is still increasing at the rate of from $2,000 to $3,000 annually. The Christmas Saving club, feature is very popular. In 1914 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $2,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. The league also notes that our people in Virginia pay taxes on real and personal property to the amount of $34,743,656. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,062. Work of Society For Ethical Culture. The Society For Ethical Culture.

PROGRESS NOTED AMONG BAPTISTS What the Rev. J. C. Jackson, D. D., Has Accomplished During His Interesting Career In the Ministry—Man of Broad Learning and Splendid Qualities of Leadership. By GEORGE I. KING. Philadelphia. - There is a very exceptional and peculiar degree of interest now being manifested by the Baptist demonstration among our people throughout Pennsylvania for the effective teaching of the unreached of the race and bringing them under the influence of the church. To get the results that are so strongly manifested by the Baptists in this section, it naturally requires men of the higher type and training who are truly devoted to the ministry. The south and its many institutions of learning are contributing a large quota of the ministers who are really REV. J. C. ACKRON, D. D. transforming lives for good. Benedict college, located at Columbia, S. C., an institution which is doing a splendid work, has a graduate among the leaders of the Baptists in this section who is a concrete example of what a minister should be among all classes of people. This individual is the Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, who has proved by his ability that he is highly endowed for leadership. Dr. Jackson is a native of the Palmetto State, where he began his influential career. Since his graduation from Benefect college he has specialized at several well known theological institutions, which have rounded him into one of the ablest of his denomination in this section. He has gained the distinction of being a church builder and sagacious organizer. He built St. Paul's Baptist church, Whimsboro, S. C.; did a most excellent work as pastor of St. Paul's Baptist church, Anderson, S. C., from which place he accepted a call to Court Street Baptist church, Lynchburg, Va. He was also highly successful in his work of seven years in this field, where he added about 400 new members and clereted the church of debt. In 1908 he accepted a call to the Satem Baptist church, Jenkintown, Pa., where he did some of his best constructive work and erected one of the most beautiful church edifices to be found among our people in Pennsylvania. A strong evidence of his wise leadership is seen in the social work he is doing in bringing about a closer relation between the better element of both races. During his pastorate in Jenkintown he organized the intercommunal Ministerial alliance of Philadelphia and vicinity and has been its president since its organization, nearly four years ago. For three sessions of the Baptist ministers' conference of Philadelphia he presided as its executive. He is vice president for Pennsylvania of the national Baptist convention. Among the white Baptists of this section he is highly esteemed, and during his stay in the state he has never before enjoyed a higher degree of friendship with the white Baptists. He is a member of the missionary committee of the North Philadelphia Baptist association. On Dec. 1, 1914, he needed to the persistent call of the members of the Second Baptist church, North Philadelphia, and has railed them exceptionally well. The congregation has purchased a splendid church edifice since Dr. Jackson has been in charge. The property is worth over $40,000. Dr. Jackson is editor in chief of the Christian Banner, the oldest Baptist paper in the north. The forty-second annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention will be held at this church, beginning Tuesday, June 12, 1910. Pythians Meet In Wilkesbarre, Pa. The Knights of Pythias, grand lodge of Pennsylvania, assembled at Wilkesbarre, Pa. on Thursday, July 29. Large delegations of the order from Pennsylvania will attend the Pythian encompass and supreme lodge session of the order to be held in Columbus, O. beginning Tuesday, Aug. 17. The sessions will be held in the chamber of commerce auditorium, Columbus, O. PUSHING PLANS FOR EXPOSITION Picture of Fort Constructed by John Brown and a Box Used For the Transportation of Slaves to Be Put on Exhibition—Schedule of Leading Organization Days. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Chicago. Now that the Richmond Civil exposition has closed all eyes are centered on the one to be held in this city from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, inclusive. The fact that during the time from the beginning of the celebration to its close, fifty four organizations, nearly all national in the work, will render special programs add new and varied interest to the occasion. The last day of the coming exposition will be known officially as Illinois day. The Roman Catholic section of the exposition looks very favorable, says the Lincoln Southland, the official organ of the commission. Our exhibits from the convents, churches and schools are coming in from all quarters. We are receiving very flattering letters from reliable sources, wishing the management good speed. One Catholic bishop writes as about the Negro—that it is his hearty wish as well as his well grounded hope that the tremendous strikes made in these years may be continued and even surpassed in the second half of the century, and to this end the approaching exposition will be no small contributor. Friday, Sept. 10, will be *Tuskegee (Ala.) institute day*, and in the section headed "The Dawn of Truth" will be shown the progress of the race from Appomattox Court House, Va., to Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Part 1 of this section depicts King Cotton in his glory, and part 2 will show the Genius of Liberty at home and abroad. This section will be stalled at its four corners with life size pictures of S. G. Grant, Booker T. Washington, Fred Doughless and Stephen A. Douglas. Another feature of this half century of freedom celebration will be that presented by John Brown's daughter, who will exhibit a book of her father's hair and a model of a fort constructed by John Brown. A box used in the transportation of shaves on the underground railroad will also be shown to the public, perhaps for the first time. Aside from the hundreds of other at-risk children, the daughter of the man who struck the blow for human liberty at Harpers Perry, in 1850, which quickly brought on the civil war and which, after four years, terminated in the freedom of the shaves and, the final surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Va., April 0, 1850. Among the organizations listed under the head of special feature days at the exposition from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16 are the National Medical association, convention of the Order of Elks, Grand Army of the Republic, congress of anti-slavery workers, Ancient Order of Foresters, Knights of Tabor, international interracial congress, Ancient United Knights of Daughters of Africa, Grand United Order of True Reformers, Grand United Order of Old Fellows, Spanish-American war veterans, Eighth Illinois regiment national guard, farmers' congress, Negro Authors' society, Sunday school congress and the national congress of fraternal workers. Thomas 'Wallace Swam, secretary of the commission, has been in communication with persons of influence and leadership in racial uplift work in all sections of the country. He has secured from these persons an 'influence of information as to the progress of the race in their sections during the past year. Through this correspondence the commission will be 'in position to present many more exhibits from individuals than it could have obtained otherwise. --- Purpose of the Donovan Fund Fails. It is reported that legal steps have been taken to wind up the Carolina Donovan trust fund at Baltimore, created about twenty-nine years ago for the purpose of encouraging colored Americans to emigrate to Liberia. The fund was operated by the American Colonization society. That the fund was operated by the American Colonization society. The petition states that transportation to Africa has ceased. The fund in question at the present time amounts to $00,000. Interest Shown in Summer Normal. The interest which the rural school-teachers are taking in the summer normal which opened at Prentiss, Miss. on Monday, Aug. 2. Indicates in a large desire a benefit on their part to better prepare themselves for their work. The session will last until Aug. 31. At the close of the normal State Superintendent W. H. Smith will hold an examination. The sessions are being held daily at the Prentiss Normal and Industrial Institute. Prentiss, Miss. REPLY TO BRITAIN'S NOTES IS FINISHED United States Takes Issue With the Contentions Set Forth by England. Says U. S. Never Blockaded Neutral Port or Subscribed to Principle That Such Blockade Is Justifiable Under International Law. Washington, D. C. The reply of the United States to the three notes of England which seek to justify her violation of the rights of American and neutral shipping has been finished. It was read by the president and explained by Secretary Laing at the cabinet meeting on Friday. Five Important Points. The reply makes five important points. It maintains: The United States has never blockaded a neutral port or subscribed to the principle that such a blockade is or could be justifiable under international law. That England's contention that retaliations and the exigencies of war can modify the accepted rules of blockade and consequently the rights of neutral shipping is absolutely untenable under international law. That when Great Britain, at the beginning of the war, forced such nations as Holland and the Scandinavian countries to agree to a non-re-export embargo she ipso facto admitted that it was the only remedy in law she had against the re-export of American products after delivery at the ports of neutrals. Holds Blockade is Illegal. That when the embargo failed and products of neutrals began to reach "enemy territory," England established by order in council an illegal unlimited blockade and extended it especially to Dutch and Scandinavian ports. It is shown under this head that this blow affected American commerce more seriously than that of any other country. That Great Britain's contention that American commerce with the world, in spite of the blockade, has increased, is irrelevant, and if a fact, has no bearing on the economic issues involved. The reply traverses England's other contents, but stress is laid upon the above propositions. It is strongly estimated to England that her answer is "wholly unsatisfactory and unresponsive" to even the first note of the United States demanding submission to the rights in international law of American and other neutral shipping. One Official's Views. One official said that the state department could, not be deceived, nor could the public be deceived, by the repeated assertion by England that the United States by her actions during the Civil war justified the existing British blockade. He said the United States had never in history admitted the principle that American warships could block a neutral port. It was from the said, that where the United States during the Civil war had positive proof that English vessels had on board cargoes bound for the Confederate army by way of Mexico, such vessels were stopped. "That, however," he said, "is quite a different proposition from the arrest of an American vessel without proof even as to what her cargo is and dragging that vessel for purposes of inquisitorial investigation into a British port. It will be shown that the Civil war precedents cannot apply to any of the ships which have been held up by England." GRASS WIDOWS BARRED GRASS WIDOWS BARRED THEY NEED NOT APPLY FOR ANY JOB IN THE GIFT OF POST-MASTER GENERAL. Washington, D. C.—No "grass widow" need apply for any job in the gift of the postmaster general. This is the decree filed in the announcement of a competitive examination for Oct. 2 by the United States civil service commission. The clause covering this feature of eligibility and desirability is too strict to admit of misconstruction, so the matrimonially dissatisfied must either turn to the courts for a divorce decree or seek other fields of human endearce: to pay the bills of the butcher, baker and dressmaker. Uncle Sam has decided to leave one loophole for the near-widow by placing her on the eligible list, once she obtains a divorce. Top of Head Sawed Off top waist. Altoon Pa.—White. Flick. Aged 35, was working under the carriage of a sawmill in Juniata Gap, his brother Thomas started the machinery and the saw cut off of the top of James' head, killing him. Say Bite the Bubble. Washington, D. C. "Bite the bubble. Don't try to swallow the metal ball from which the water spurts." These are the high points in instructions issued by federal health officers, on the proper way to drink from a drinking fountain. Investigation shows a large percent of the persons using the fountain allow their lips to touch some part of it. The slowly running water does not cleanse the parts touched, thus making the spread of disease likely. IN UNION DURING THE WAR BARRIS & EWING T. Gilbert Pearson is the secretary of the National Association of Audubon son to the department to call the attention of the department of justice to the fact that plumes of the egret are being smuggled into New York and are defending the law. If the offenders are caught there will be a dearth of algrettes in New York next winter. In his personal notes, Mr. Gilbert Pearson son told him that the parcel post was being used by the smugglers and that sometimes bundles of plumes were wrapped in paper and shipped as a cap, alligator hides and shipped by express. EASTLAND'S OWNERS AND OFFICIALS HELD Six Are Charged With Manslaughter and Criminal Carelessness in Indictments Returned by State Grand Jury. Chicago, Ill.—Indictments, charging manslaughter and criminal carelessness in connection with the Eastland disaster were voted Tuesday by the state grand jury against six men, owners and officials of the boat. Those named in the true bills, which were returned Wednesday morning before Judge Kersten, are: George T. Arnold, president of the St. Joseph-Chicago Steamship lines, owners of the steamer. William H. Hull, vice president and general manager. Walter C. Steele, secretary-treasurer. Ray W. Davis, assistant secretary treasurer. Harry Pedersen, captain of the vessel. Joseph M. Erickson, engineer of the ship. The charge of manslaughter, as contained in the joint indictment against four officials of the company, carries with it, punishment, provided by statute, of imprisonment of from one year to life. The penalty for criminal carelessness, as charged in the indictment against the captain and engineer, is imprisonment not to exceed three years or a fine not to exceed $5,000. INDIANS ON WAR PATH INDIANS ON WAR PATH CHASE TWO WHITE MEN WHO HAD OVERTURNED 'HIA WATHA'S CANOE. Canton, O.—Resident of the summer colony at Myers lake, near here, were terrified when a band of irroquois Indians, presenting "Hiawatha," went on the war path after two white men had overturned "Hiawatha's" canoe during an impressive moment in the play. Jesse Cormplanter, a young brave, playing the title role, was crossing the lake in his canoe when the white men in a skiff ran into him. He righted his boat and pursued them, but they reached shore ahead of him and escaped. Several other Indians joined in the pursuit, while women campers barricaded themselves in their cottages as the warriors, in their war paint, rushed through the woods, brandishing their weapons. Tug Rolls Over Two Dead Sandusky, O—Two men, the engineer and fireman of the tug Sandusky, are dead as the result of the tug's upsetting off Cedar Point. The tug was towing the freighter Sahara. The dead are George Masten, 20, the engineer, and Elmer Bahnsen, 23, the engineer, both of Port Clinton, Charles Webb, captain, and Ray Light, wheeler of the tug, were saved. Gets Enough Gizzards. Xenla, O. — "This is the first time I ever had enough gizzards. I ate 11," remarked Gov. Willis as he concluded his dinner at the farmers' picnic and summer institute at Rossnere park, near Jamestown. The governor also cleaned up on several more delicate pieces of spring fries and went into raptures over a dish of old-fashioned cream scmter kase. Ohio's executive, addressing the crowd of 5,000, dwelt upon rural topics, urging the young people to remain on the farm. The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50.

Cleveland SOCIAL CITY SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915. The Gazette should have acknowledged, in its last issue, its indebtedness to the Little Rock (Ark.) Moselle Guide, an excellent race publication, for the use of the splendid cut of Judge Mifflin W. Gibbs used in our issue of last week. If our people of Salem and several other Ohio cities read The Gazette they would know more about object-tenable motion-pictures in general and "The Mystery of Morrow's Rest" in particular, and save themselves a great deal of time, trouble, expense and worry. Take "the old. reliable.' friends! The qualities of the mind and heart of Gov. F. B. Willis are well shown in his activities in the interest of the coal-miners of the state. He conciliated the troubles which wellnigh starved 14,000 of them in the eastern district and had altogether wrecked the business of that section. By immediate and intelligent aid he has averted-similar distress involving as many more miners in the Hocking Valley and through the powers of the utility commission he hopes to make possible the resumption of mining in that district. Last year, when The Gazette announced to our people of the Eleventh ward, this city, that it intended to have a street cut through from Central Av., to Cedar Av., between E 22d St. and E 28th St., in the face of the many failures of efforts, projected by members of the race, for several years, to accomplish this, the fool-knockers "got busy." So did we, as Councilman FitzGerald can and will attest. The result: East 25th (dead-end) court or "Place" is now and has been for many months, a street, from Central Av., to Cedar Av Thanks are due also to Ex-Director Springborn, Director Sidlo and Mr FitzGerald. It is announced from New York that Mr. "Hi" Johnson, governor of California, who was the candidate for vice president on the Progressive ticket, will undertake to control the Republican delegation to the national convention from that and adjoining states. At home Gov. Johnson calls himself "a McKinley protectionist" and is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. But, as a disturber of the Republican peace he is likely to dispear before the convention is held. A law he put through the California legislature, which provides for a non-partisan state ballot, has been put to a referendum by an excessively signed petition. If this law is lost in the November election, Johnson's political power will be lost with it, for he is leading the fight to sustain this law. 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 Q. 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. Brown 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 Hallle B. Brown, Homewood Cottage, Wilberforce, 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 expo sition 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. WAITING TO HEAR, GOVERNOR! Who controls the female employees of the State Tax Commission, and who controls the Commission? Will Gov. Frank B. Willis please answer these two questions? The democratic Cincinnati Enquirer's Columbus letter of Aug. 3, 1915, which we republish elsewhere in this paper, prompts us to ask the questions—not that we, for a single moment, believe that it is possible for our brilliant Governor PETER H. or any of his appointees to have been involved, in any unfavorable way, in the shameful mistreatment of that young lady stenographer—if the Enquirer statements are true. That the hold-over "Cox" democratic members of the Commission, and democratic employees of the same, are to blame we have no doubt. However, we want an answer, to our questions, from Gov. Frank B. Willis and are confident that he will reply promptly and send one that will clear the atmosphere and be entirely satisfactory to our people of Ohio, a number of whom have written us in the past ten days relative to the Enquirer statements A SPEEDY CIVIL RIGHTS' VICTORY Last week Thursday, Chas. S. Hackley and Atty. Chas. S. Sutton of this city, went into the Barrington Lunch, a restaurant located at 310 Superior Ave. N. W., Cleveland, and ordered something to eat. The waiter refused to serve them unless they agreed to take, what they desired, out of the restaurant and cat it elsewhere. This they refused to do, with the result that the waiter refused to serve them. They immediately secured an affidavit from Police Prosecutor Samuel H. Silbert, alleging a violation of our Ohio Civil Rights' law, and in company with the officer who held the warrant, went back to the Barrington restaurant and had the waiter arrested. On the next day, last Friday, the case against the waiter was called in the local Police court, and when asked how he plead, to the charge of discrimination, the waiter said "guilty." Judge Geo. P. Baer fined him fifty dollars (the minimum penalty of our law) and the costs, gave him until August 16 to pay, and committed him to jail until new bail was furnished. Suit has been entered by Atty. Atty. Sutton against Edward A. Atwater, proprietor of the Barrington Lunch, for recovery in damages under our Ohio Civil Rights' law, Hackley will also enter suit. Good! And still there are those who foolishly say "the editor of The Gazette has not done anything for our people of Ohio and the country." His Ohio Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws are only two of very many things he and his paper, The Gazette, have done for our people in the past quarter of a century and more, and there are thousands of Afro-Americans in this state and out of it who recognize this fact and are free to admit it in spite of fool-knockers at home or abroad. Messrs. Sutton and Hackley are to be congratulated and praised for the encouragement thus given our people, throughout Cleveland and Ohio, to renew their fight in the courts for their civil rights, etc. It would not take but a little of the "Hackley-Sutton-Barrington restaurant and waiter" action to stop the insulting and humiliating color-line drawing at Luna park and all other public places in this city and state that so discriminate contrary to our Ohio Civil Rights' law. DO NOT SIGN THEM! Throughout Ohio the 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 F. B. Willis at its back, has been our fight on vicious and harmful photo-plays. DO NOT SIGN THE PETITIONS! 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. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS A white friend of the race, who lives in Chicago, sends The Gazette the following communication: Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Why not apply democratic methods at home? A dispatch from from-Prince, Haiti, dated May 5, 1915, states that "the American forces that landed as marines will remain until a constitutional government has been firmly established" * * * Prominent men maintain that "the United States must see to it that each voter is at liberty to vote for his choice, to obtain a free election." (International News Service in the Chicago Examiner, Aug. 6, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915 1915). A similar demand as to "constitutional government," it will be remembered was and is still made by the Wilson government (i.e. the U.S.) on Mexico. Very fine, very correct from the standpoint of our form of government. Indeed, the only course we can apply by virtue of it. But—why not apply it AT HOME? The American citizens own country, disregarding its plain demand? Will the two great (?) parties of our country—the republican that has become derelict, and the democratic that was and is opposed to that demand—answer? Whenever the American citizens in the south—for the Negroes are such as much as anybody there—are at liberty to vote to obtain a free election—today there is in most southern states practically no election at all so far as they are concerned—we will be able to hold up our head because we apply our demands in our own land. We are cowards and impertinence, which may be and is made against us by foreign critics and the best of our own citizens, we must now hink it in shame! ! ! (A true republican.) The "Wilson government" is the true exponent of democracy—the democratic party as it is today and has ever been since its birth—whenever the citizen rights and privileges of the Afro-American are involved. This fact is notorious, and whenever it is publicly called attention to, as Mr. Egberth does in his excellent communication, the inconsistency of its demands for "free and fair elections" and an untrammeled citizenship for Mexicans and Filipinos, while in the south of our own country, a section dominated by the democratic party, it disfranchises over a million Afro-American citizens and white republicans, is apparent to all. Our only wonder is that the leading republican statesmen, writers and newspapers, who are anxious to see the early return to power in national affairs of the grand old party, do not take advantage of the splendid opportunity to enlighten the public and show up the democratic administration at Washington, D.C., and the democratic party, as the greatest bundle of inconsistency and hypocracy this country ever suffered from. At least nine southern states have disfranchise laws (?) that are in direct conflict with a section of the U.S. constitution. Fine (?) "constitutional government" this! As a matter of principle, what difference is there between this and the firing on Ft. Sumter—the opening shot of the war of the rebellion? And both the disgraceful work of southern democrats! Yes, it IS high time that "the United States" should "see to it that each voter (in the south) is at liberty to vote his choice, to obtain a free election," and we here and now demand of President Wilson that he at least attempt to do as much for the million or more disfranchised black and white citizens in the south of this country, as he is attempting to do for the Mexicans, the masses of whom Americans (white) affect to despise because of their "ignorance, viciousness, low morals," etc., etc., etc. FRESH OHIO NEWS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE- SPONDENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc.

SHE WAS TRANSFERRED To Another Department When Tax Board's Employees "Howl." Special Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer Columbus, Ohio, August 3.—Female employees of the State Tax Commission enforced a "jim-crow" rule without the aid of any outside influence and over the resistance of the state Administration. Today their victory is a complete one. Some three weeks ago the commission employee a long time officer or clerk, and she was put to work in the offices, occupying a room with other employees. There were mild protests at first and the request was made that she be transferred. It had never been the rule, it was contended, to employ Negro girls. All this availed little, however, till the prosecution there were threats of resignations. Today the girl was sent to the State Board of Health. The employees of the State Tax Commission rejoiced. Sharon, Pa., News. As a result of the uniting efforts of our new pastor, the Rev. Jas. J. Price, we have again secured our former place of worship (Carpenter's hall). No services had been held here since the departure of our former pastor. Rev. Price has been with us ever since his appointment and has done yeoman work for the local A. M. E. school. Sunday, Aug. 8, saw the inauguration of the regular order of services and the future prospects are very encouraging. 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 be a judge 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 upheld in your life, and thinking men will get behind you and give you a push onward and upward. I 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 discrimination is more prevalent than christian worship. And that is the reason why I am in this place. I am not a christian, but 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—our people of Cleveland are worse than those of Jackson, Miss.; we are worse than those of St. Louis, Miss. last November and shut the Negroes out of certain places and they boycotted 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 he will find that "Pashion" is staying at home and that will bring him to his senses. Now suppose one of these promoters should take his good wife and all want to enjoy the dance-hall, the roller-rink or the bathing-pool, the latter would be the admitted and the Afro-American would be told to walk around and enjoy the beautiful sights of the park. Then the managers of the park would give him a good wife and all want to enjoy the park in 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 wormout affair, appeals to the Negro because of the fact that some of our fathers and mothers who were slaves take to it. Thus the promoters gather in the money of the poor and the flooded and the nice bride 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 will and feel that as a minister I will be able to pursue my 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 July 31st—before the alleged "emancipation celebration" failure of Monday week 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 July 31st, 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 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, Monday week, 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" a flat failure from a financial viewpoint and others. THANK THE LUNA park! If any one of our local ministers, members of the Governors' 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. Springarn, Editor W. Monroe Trettor and every man 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 carrying 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. LAUGHTER BROS. DIRECTORS & EMBALMERS e and Funeral Parlors 3923 Central Av., ITIAN REVOLUTION Caplain T. G.

WINBUSH 2192 E. 35th St. Prospect 1043-J AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS For a long time it has been suspected that the art of working iron began among the Negroes in Africa. Now it is so well confirmed that there seems little doubt about it. Bronze was the first metal of which man availed himself. Just how that came about is uncertain. Copper and thw were abundant, but were of little value for weapons or cutting implements, when someone conceived the idea that by combining them a serviceable set of tools was easy. It is believed that the idea may have come from Asla Minor, where the two metals are found in combination. All the weapons of the Homeric age were bronze, and steel swords and knives do not appear to have been common until about 700 or 800 years before the Christian era. Archeologists have come across specimens of iron in Egypt which have puzzled them. Recently in 'opening some graves in Nubia, the ancient Ethiopia, an iron spearhead was found in good condition. The grave dates from about 3400 B. C. and in any event was long before iron was known elsewhere. This spearhead was discovered by an expedition of the University Museum, Philadelphia, which was excavating for ancient relics. It is now in the museum, and the astonishing thing is that it is precisely like the spearheads made by the natives in Africa today. The native village blacksmith is an important personage. He is usually a wanderer, like the traveling thinker, but there seems to be a rather closely organized guild among them. The bellows are small and are worked generally by two men. They keep the fire very hot. The smith often uses a stone for an anvil, and his hammers are very rude. Seeing these crude implements, one would never suppose it possible to accomplish much, but they turn out some really admirable work. They work with considerable ceremony and are highly esteemed. Witchcraft enters into their ceremonies and the natives believe that only thus can good work be accomplished. The appearance of the blacksmith is the sign for ceremonial dances in the village. All join in. Dancing does not seem to enervate the natives and apparently takes the place of sleep. The African villages are kept so clean that the university explorers on their return were shocked at Philadelphia and New York. In Africa the chief is the head sweeper, and if everything is not as neat as a pin he is deposed and sometimes loses his head—not his official head, but his real one. The native ironworkers of darkest Africa are fast disappearing, because traders are gradually entering the country and selling cheap wares, which puts the Negro smith out of business. There still remains, however, a number of sections where the smith is a mighty man, even more respected than he of whom Longfellow sang. The work of the native smiths always begins with dancing, in which the entire village joins. Then there is a feast. Next day, if iron has to be smelted, the ore is first offered to the image of the native god by the hand-somest girl of the tribe. Throughout the work the chief is in attendance, watching the smiths as they sit in a ring. Every day the bell of Eton college chapel is toiled for a quarter of an hour for Etonians killed in the war. In one of the young ladies' schools in a suburb of Berlin the pupils sent a committee to the principal asking her to discontinue instructions in French and English, as it would be unpatriotic to learn the language of "nations who, in such an infamous manner, had dragged Germany into war." It took the principal considerable time to show the girls why their request could not be complied with. At a Christmas-tree festival in South Paris, Me, the gifts were taken from the tree by a young lady who had recently been married. During the distribution she found one package with a name she didn't recognize, so she laid the gift aslide. As the packages disappeared she began to wonder where her own was, and finally realized that the discarded package bore her own new name. If it is anything her husband told her about his life before he married her, a wife never forgets it. Potatoes, cabbage, celery, cauliflower, lettuce, carrots and turnips of fine quality are extensively grown in Yukon territory, Canada. Potatoes are the principal crop, retailing at five cents a pound. If you want to hear a lot of reasons talk to the ball player who has been released. A government survey has resulted in ranking the Yukon river in fifth place among the great streams of North America. Many instances are related of the marching powers of the Russians. One soldier states that during the strenuous advance at Ossovlee the troops marched more than seventy miles in two days. Columbia university again claims the largest registration in this country, having 10,961 students. The university of California is second with 8,481. Canada's dairy products are worth more than $187,000 a year. In a considerably enlarged and greatly improved form the Negro Year Book for 1914-15 makes its appearance. The success of the previous issues has encouraged the publishers to believe that there is "a very real need for a book which will provide, in an inexpensive form, a succinct, comprehensive and impartial review of the events of the year which affect the interests and indicate the progress of the race." It attempts to "provide this, together with a compact but comprehensive statement of historical facts arranged for ready reference. It seeks to be at once a permanent record of current events, an encyclopedia of historical and sociological facts, a directory of persons and a bibliographical guide to the literature of the subjects discussed." The topical arrangement of the volume is admirably done, placing before the reader full and essential information on a variety of subjects. In a general review of the past year many interesting facts are brought out in this volume that would otherwise have little attention: That a little colored girl in the public schools of Cincinnati won the first prize for an essay on the subject, "What I can and Will Do to make Cincinnati a Better and Bigger City," that Frances O. Grant graduated at the head of her class at the Girls' Latin school in Boston and won the Griswold scholarship to Radcliffe; that Isaac Fisher, editor of the Negro Farmer, Tuskegee, Ala., won three first prizes in national competition, the first of $100 from the St. Louis Post Dispatch for "The Ten Best Reasons Why Persons Should Come to Missouri," the second from the Wales Visible, Adding Machine company, for the best essay on "What Do You See in an Adding Machine?" and the third from a woman's magazine for the best essay on "A Criticism of the Criterion of Fashion." The account of what Negroes have contributed to education, the wealth and accomplishments of individual Negroes make, with a vast amount of other information, a surprising and valuable record. One of the greatest and most representative gatherings of Afro-Americans ever assembled in the Lone Star state will be present at Austin during the Sunday school and Baptist Young People's union chautaquia, which holds forth August 16-23 inclusive. Negroes of all walks of life will be there, from men of international reputation to boy cadets, who will be on hand in great numbers to lend their assistance to the occasion. From present indications Houston will be well represented, both by cadets from the various Sunday schools and delegates from the Sunday schools and Baptist Young People's unions. The Houston delegation will go in special cars in charge of C. F. Richardson and R. B. H. Yates. In Austin Revs. J. B. Plus and D. A. Scott and others are making ample preparations to care for a monster crowd. Interest is intense throughout the state in this great meeting, and the railroads have granted a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. It promises to eclipse all former meetings of its kind in the South among Afro-Americans. Capt. John Sessums' Zouaves will also make the trip and hope to set a pace for all the other companies. When it is necessary for a town to pass the hat the first move made is to secure an influential citizen to do it. H. P. Ewing, the former potato king of the Kaw valley, returned to Kansas City from a lecture through Oklahoma, where he has been advocating the back-to-the-farm movement for Negroes. Ewing has a farm west of Argentine, where Negro boys are taught how to farm. He lectured at Tulsa Bartlesville, Muskegon, South McAlester and Wybark, Okla. The Commercial club of Tulsa offered to help in the movement, and two hundred acres of ground were pledged. At Bartlesville a quarter section was offered. A farm of 160 acres is now under cultivation at Wybark. An institute in Kansas City similar to the Tuskegee institute in Alabama where Negroes are taught to earn their livelihood, is planned by Ewing. "O God, we thank Thee for success and victory of our army and navy. Grant unto us, if it please Thee, more decisive victories. We pray Thee protect our sailors, naval men, and civil fans from mines and torpedoes, and our shores from the designs of the enemy. Through Jesus Christ, Amen."—Advertisement in Edinburgh Scotsman.

SATURDAY AUGUST 14, 1915 WHAT PARIS HAS TO OFFER navy blue straw toque, trimmed with fine straw roses in the same color. PARIS OPENINGS PUT OFF UNTIL FIRST OF AUGUST. Flattened Hips Hinted at in Advance Models—Silver Lining to Over shadowing Cloud of Full The majority of the leading houses in Paris put off the dress openings of the season until the first of this month, although we were promised all the news of clothes by the second week of July. What the reason was for the change in dates—whether the paucity of American buyers in Paris early in the month of July, or the difficulty of getting ready a new set of models after the manufacturers had depleted the first set—is of little importance to the question at large; the result is very satisfying to those buyers and sellers who want new clothes for the winter and not for the summer. The one thing that the specialists strive for is to get their frocks before the public who wants the last thing from Paris and open the way for the manufacturers to copy these styles at once; the sooner the better, for the moment a French style is run to ground, the specialists have the chance to sell a new and complete set of fashions to the world of women who will no longer wear a style that 1920 Wine Colored Cloth Suit Trimmed With Black Satin. is selling for fifteen dollars through the cheaper ready-to-wear departments. There are manufacturers' models in plenty in America already. Those who sell to the trade that pours into New York in July to get the fall materials, hats and gowns must be served. Why that flood does not wait until September is not a question for an amateur to settle by an answer. There are certain dressmakers, catering to a large trade that does not dwell in or near New York, who also hurry home with a few models, buy others from the manufacturers, and get their autumn business off their hands almost before one knows that October is coming. This variety of clothes has been on the market since July and the people who copy each acceptable fashion in large quantities are already at work. Soon the shops will offer them as the first and most authoritative ideas in winter fashions. Whether or not they prove to be all that their agents claim for them is a doubt that will not deter hundreds of women from buying them, because they are at hand and fall clothes are always needed as soon as the first chill makes its appearance, except by those lucky ones who always find a suit or a frock left over from the preceding season, which happens to fill the first necessity. There is a strong tendency in each of the fashions that are advanced as forerunners of what is to come in October toward flattened hips. For the last few months we have grown quite large in that spot; we have avoided any appearance of slimness and given ourselves over to gathers and plaits at the waist line. This fashion was deplored by all but the excessively slender, yet as all the models called for a certain amount of fullness from waist to ankles there seemed no other way to arrive at it except through a wide circular skirt. Wider Skirts Are Among the Newest Things Which Will Be Proffered for Favor. "The very wide skirt is not seen in the streets, although all the new models which are being copied are showing wider, if not actually wide skirts," says a woman who returned from Paris recently. "The army coat is very much to the fore, and the small hat, with great, big, squashed pansies, round it, is now so common that no one will buy it any more. A few very wide brimmed hats have appeared which have very good lines. They are made of straw and silk, with flowers set at rare intervals on the brim, and a band of ribbon with a bow round the base of the crown. The brim is wider on one side than the other, and the hat is worn at a smart angle. White hats trimmed with white violets do Parme, entire toques of violets with a knot of velvet sticking up in front or at the side are also to be seen, but nothing is quite so Parisian as the The latter method of cutting the skirt, however, is the one that is advanced today and the unevenness of the hem, which is sure to result, is offset by accentuating it and using cord or plating as an edge To quiet the rebellion against this kind of skirt among the larger number of women the Spanish flounce has been revived on all kinds of skirts, or rather on skirts made of various materials. Organdie, broadcloth, gaberdine, velvet, batiste and satin are the fabrics that show this deep ruffle; it gives the necessary fullness at the knees without increasing the girth around the hips. It may not matter very much how one achieves that line of slimness at the hips and width at the ankles; the main thing is to be well assured of the silhouette and then work it out through any channel one desires. It is in just this divergence of method makers have a chance of success. There is a silver lining to the cloud of full skirts if these individual treatments are welcomed; especially will the incomir; of the deep flounce with the smooth hip line please the women who have looked unpleasantly abnormal in the skirts that were gathered about the waist. As to the frankly circular skirt which is growing in favor among those who decide on the fashions, there is a silver cloud to it also. A band of some kind of opposing fabric is dropped below the uneven edge of the hem which frames it in, or rather gives it a straight selvege. The introduction of this redeeming feature has turned discouragement into optimism. It may be possible, after all, say many, to wear a circular skirt with confidence in its behavior, something that has been impossible since circular skirts were invented. In the prevailing taffeta frocks that will be worn without coats on warm days and with them on chill days, the skirts are scalloped, not unduly, the edges corded, and the uneven line held together by a five-inch band of double net which is slightly gathered and steadied on its lower edge by a thick cord of the taffeta. If you are not familiar with this method of finishing an uneven skirt hem it is quite worth your while to try it. The effect is good because the skirt has the appearance of being actually finished; the ragged edge does not always give this. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) NEW COLORS ARE PROMISED Already Fashion Is Determining What Shade Shall Be Worn During Fall and Winter Months. From the Rodier collection of fabrics for fall and winter wear we find that the colors are quite as important as the fabrics. All the pansy shades to the lightest of the violet tones, with all the intermediate shades, including mauve and lavender, will be in demand. These shades, it is said, are particularly beautiful in the new pile fabrics, especially the new velvet weave known as "panecia." Ranging from the deep, rich shade of bordeaux to the old-fashioned wine color are the reds that will brighten the dull winter months for the many who prefer the warm colors. In the new Rodier fabrics that combine both silk and velvet these red hues are particularly successful. From the beginning of the war it was almost impossible to keep enough soldat blue to supply the demand, and it is said that America has had very little of this soft and beautiful shade, of blue. Every tone that bore the slightest resemblance to the soldiers' uniform was so much in demand that there is little reason to doubt that it will be a most popular color for winter. In panecia this shade is charming. All the varying shades of marine and soldier blue will be obtained in the new fabrics. There are many browns, with a new one in the market that will be sure to be desired. It is a light brown resembling, it is said, the color of hazelnuts. The novelties in color combinations include stripes of two colors, with black and white, the always popular combination, black and sulphur, charteuse and blue, marine and black in many interesting new weaves. The staple navy blue we have with us always, and with the addition of solard blue as trimming it is expected that it will take on an added following.—Philadelphia Ledger. Dreadful Transformation. Roy was working with his father in the garden. His father found a worm and holding it out said to Roy: "Here, take this back and give it to the chickens." Drawing back Roy said: "O no I can't. I think I'm turning into a girl." He Gets It All. Now that it no longer is good form to whip the children, father takes all the punishment that is administered to the family. -Topeka Capitol. Cretonne Beach Scts For the small girl there are cretonne beach sets, consisting of pinafore, sunbonnet and basket to hang over the arm. All are made of cretonne. The basket is lined with a waterproofed cloth of some sort. The pinafore buttons on the shoulders. Children in various guises make their appearance in the pattern of the cretonne, thus adding to the attractiveness of the outfit. Skunk's Belt Valuable The pelt of the skunk is of great value, and makes the bearer second in importance among the fur-bearing animals of this country, the muskrat being first. The worth of the skins has long been recognized commercially, but prejudice has prevented the sale of them for what they were. For many years nearly all the product was exported for European manufacture, and a great deal of it returned to this country as "black marten" and "Alaskan sable." SUMMER TOURIST COAT SUMMER TOURIST COAT MODEL HAS SEVERAL VERY AT TRACTIVE FEATURES. Waist Portion Is Cut on New Lines While Arrangement of Belt and Buttons Is Original and The summer traveling coat must incorporate several very necessary attributes. It must be long yet not too heavy, it must be of light weight yet durable material, its color should be as solproof as possible, and its style designed for comfort and smartness. Of the washable materials, linen, Palm Beach cloth, goiline serge and other summer-weight worsteds make up splendidly for the coat that is destined to receive harder knocks. There is a good design for either variety showing a few lines. The fronts of the waist portion are cut with pointed extensions, which, when left open, fall in graceful folds and form the novelty lapels illustrated. These can be lined with a contrasting color to give a pretty effect. Half of an eight or nine-inch section of belt is stitched to the right side of the coat at a slightly raised waist line, holding some of the fullness of the front, and the other half snaps in place over the line of closing. Buttons trim the ends and upper edge of this belt tab, from beneath which hangs in even folds the front ```markdown ``` Design for Traveling Coat or Linen Duster. breadth of the skirt portion with its corner cut off in a diagonal line started a trifle below the knee. A similar section of belt holds in place a line of gathers across the back, while bands of material a tiny bit narrower and cut with rounded ends are stitched to the edges of the slanting pocket slashes, then trimmed with a few buttons across the ends. A broad, square collar turns back from the neck, but stands well up across the back, where it folds over. The armholes are wide and extend about an inch and a half beyond the shoulder line. Straight, wide sleeves are smoothly set in and given broad turned-back cuffs whose reversely overlapping ends are cut in two scallops and trimmed inside with a straight row of buttons. ERILLS FOR THE UNDERWEAR Flowered Designs Are Most Popular for the Lingerie That Is in Favor Today. One always expects to see flowers grow on hats and on dresses during the summer days, but it is a little surprising to see them spring up on milady's underwear. However, they appear to very good advantage, and on such material as chiffon, taffeta, net and organie. The little combination suits, consisting of either corset cover and bloomers or corset cover and short skirts, are most charming. Dainty chemises are also offered in Modiates Have Put Forth Wites That Bid Fair to Be Alluring to Femininity. "What's in a name?" Much! For instance, bleu de soldat吵 much more chile and entracing to wear in time of war than "soft gray blue," as it would be called in the piping times of peace. Bleu de soldat is high sounding and stirs its martial ardor, even to the point of ordering a coat and skirt of it forthwith. While "slate color" might leave us cold, dreadnaught gray, which is its wartime sobriquet, has a topical flavor and arouses recognition and interest in the most language. Who could resist a frock of laque, or mastic, or midnight blue, or a gown of faille d'amour? And how we should frown at the prosale realist who ventured to allude to it as "just silk!" "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," as the poet saith, but a new name can impart a wonderful cachet to an old color. What a vogue flowered organdle. As the flowered material is so ornamental in itself, it requires very little trimming. A row of beading at the neck line or around the waist is all that is necessary. To preserve the quaintness of the material, black velvet ribbon is run through the beading in preference to pink, blue and white ribbons. The flowered materials are also used for nightgowns, negligees and petticoats. The latter are usually made of the flowered taffeta, which, in its stiffness, is just the thing to be worn beneath the full skirts. NEW HATS AND HAIRDRESSING Latest Model in Millinery Permits Generous Glimpse of Coil in Most Becoming Coiffure. Since hats remain small and one has not room to tuck up apparently ack up apparently in unison aided hair into the crowns, new methods of hair dressing have been resorted to. By rolling it up in a pretty knot at the back of the neck a glimpse of the colfurse is allowed beneath the hat, and the very becoming slicked-back arangement that suggested ebb uncons ieder hair into the crowns, new methods of hair dressing have been resorted to. By rolling it up in a pretty knot at the back of the neck a glimpse of the coiffure is allowed beneath the hat, and the very becoming slicked-back arrangement that suggested ebb tide on a sloping beach has been abandoned, and women remind one less vividly of the wooden Noah's ark ladies and gentlemen whose hair was varnished on, you know. The sketch is illustrative of the new hairdressing, and also shows a smart tailored hat of black lisere straw to wear with one's summer tailored suit or dresses. The brim which turns up closely all around the head, is cut out at either side, allowing a view of the black taffeta crown and forming a sort of little cranny for the quills of black taffeta that trim the sides. These are knotted at the base, with the wing part wired visibly. The one on the left stands more erect than the other, but must not look too stiff. They can be faced with white if desired, as many of the ribbon trimmings are, or kept all black, according to requirements. The model is equally good for colors, or would be most attractive if carried out in all white. HEALTH AND BEAUTY For toothache, soak a bit of medicated cotton in oil of cloves or oil of wintergreen, and gently press into the cavity, and where this is absent bathe the gum and try the hot water bag. To prevent or cure those wind freckles make a lotion by mixing equal parts of honey and lemon juice, or honey and eau de cologne, together, and massage it into the face before going out. Put a tablespoonful of ammonia into a quart of water; wash your brushes and combs in this and all grease and dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake and dry in the sun or by the fire. Drink lemonade freely during the summer, but do not have it too sweet. It quenches thirst better than water when one is ironing or doing household work that creates thirst on hot summer days. In view of the alarming increase in heart and arterial diseases, nervous troubles and insanity, as well as cancer, it is at least comforting to find from recent statistics that the mortality from diphtheria and cerebro-spinal meningitis has been reduced nearly 60 per cent in New York alone since antitoxin was first understood. True cholera infantum, too, is rarely seen now that baby feeding has become a science, while the great epidemics of typhus and smallpox which used to sweep the country are practically unknown There is an excellent old skin tonic used for generations which will probably be of interest to the woman readers of this page. It may be prepared at home and contains nothing that is in the least bit harmful to the face, which is more than can be said of so many of the so-called skin tonics on the market. Make a bag of cheesecloth, double thickness, and fill it with bran, a tablespoonful of orris root and a half cake of castle soap chopped up fine. This bag may be used in the bath and on the face and makes the skin smooth, white and firm. About White Hair. Anyone whose hair is white and who has found it impossible to keep the yellow tint out of the hair will find this hint invaluable. Blue the last rinse water just as you would blue water for clothes. Use this water freely and anyone whose hair has been streaked with yellow will be delighted with the results. This will not injure the hair in the least. Generally speaking, an unpopular man is one who saves his money. the old snuff brown has had under the elegant French title of tete de negre; while as snuff brown it would have been unthinkable. Under the majestic appellation of "royel" one of the ugliest and most trying of blues enjoys an extraordinary amount of patronage; and while magenta is cut dead under that nomenclature, it becomes quite modish while masquerading as petunia or one of the fuchsia shades. The why and wherefore of these things would seem to possess some psychological interest. Three Types of Foot Three types of human feet have been noted by a British naturalist. In the most common designated, the L type, the first or great toe projects beyond the others; in the much less frequent S type the second toe extends beyond the first, as well as the others; and in the rare E type the first and second toes, longer than any others, are of equal length. The S type, which seems to be a more youthful form than the other, is more common in females than in males. CAP and BELLS TALE AMUSED SENATOR HOAR Noted Statesman Told With Glee of Southerner's Visit to Boston, Where People Ate Beans. Senator Hoar used to tell with glee of a Southerner just home from New England who said to his friend, "You know those little white, round beans?" "Yes," replied the friend, "the kind we feed to our horses?" "The very same. Well, do you know, sir, that in Boston the enlightened citizens take those little white, round beans, boil them for three or four hours, mix them with molasses and I know not what other ingredients, bake them, and then—what do you suppose they do with the beans?" They "eat 'em, sir." Interrupted the first Southerner impressively; "bless me, sir, they eat 'em!"—Christian Register. Carelessness. Mr. Flatbush—I see during some recent explorations at "ompell an ancient kitchen was unearthed. In the fireplace there was a kettle on the grate, just as it was left 1,826 years ago by some cook residing in that city. Mrs. Flatbush—Such carelessness! You can't tell me she hasn't had an opportunity to put that kettle away in all this time! Hard to Get "Have plenty of trouble with cooks, I suppose?" "The cooks would be all right if I could only get the necessary sup- plies." "What do you mean?" "Well, last week I had a southern mammy who was a fine possum artist, and this week I got a Finnish cook who is strong on reindeer dishes." Putting It Nicely. Former Mistress—I would like to give you a good recommendation, Delia, but my conscience compels me to state that you never get the meals on time. I wonder how I can put it in a nice sort of way. Delia—Yez mought ljst say that Ol got the meals the same as Ol got me pay—Puck. She—Daisy married old Gotrox, but she was engaged to his son. He—Yes, but Gotrox threatened to cut off his son's allowance if he married her. Wooxy Decorations "I understand," said Uncle Bill Bottletop, "that the Turks are total abstainers." "Yes." "Well, maybe they are. But I can't see how any total abstainer could think up some of the designs they put in Turkish rugs." Hard Times Brilliance Bride (disconsolately)—Half my wedding presents are cheap plated things. Mother—Never mind, my dear; no one will suspect it. I have hired two detectives to make themselves conspicuous watching them. A. Cutting Remark "You have cut my hair too short," said the man to the barber. "Now cut it longer." And the barber, being a man of many sides and much resource, did so. He cut it three minutes longer. Astray "It is my intention to lead you on the way to righteousness," said the reformer. "Stranger," replied Bronco Bob "you're lost. If that's your destination your trail never would have led you through Crimson Gulch." The More Important Service. "You have charged me too much for this divorce," vociferated the opera singer. "Madam," protested the lawyer; "consider the extra work you have made me do as press agent." Bolic of Berberism The new barber had finished his job and his customer synchronously. "You have cut him in seven places," thundered the boss barber. "Just for that, you shall shave the gentleman over again."
