THIRTY-THIRD YEAR, NO. 6 IN UNION WE STRUGGLE POWDER MILLS ARE WRECKED BY BLAST Dupont and American Plants Destroyed, Police Probing Alleged Plot. One Tremendous Concussion 'Rocks Entire City of Wilmington. Del., While Other Explosion Holds Up Work on Large Orders. Wilmington; Del.—Two men were blown to pieces and Wilmington was thrown into a state of constation when two explosions, which the population for a time feared was an earthquake, wrecked the Hadley yard plant of the Du Pont Powder Co. on the outskirts of the city. Investigating to ascertain the cause of the terrific blasts, which shook houses and shattered windows for miles around, the police are giving consideration to the theory that the explosion was a plot carried out by German sympathizers. Suspicious Strangers Are Seen. It was reported that several suspicious strangers had been observed in the neighborhood of the Du Pont plant for several weeks. This report has led to close investigation, on suspicion, that the destruction of the works was arranged to reduce the supply of black powder manufactured here and shipped abroad for the use of the allied armies. The tremendous concussion that rocked the entire city came at 8 a.m. before half of the people of Wilmington were astir, and hundreds, fearing that it was an earth shock, jumped from their beds and in many instances rushed half clad into the streets. The explosion was followed almost immediately by a fire with calls for the police and fire department, and thousands of citizens hurried to the scene. Neither firemen nor police could do anything on their arrival. All that remained were two smoldering holes in the ground. Various other nearby buildings of the Du Pont company were intact and the management took steps to safeguard these structures. Searching the ruins, the police and firemen found the bodies of the two victims, who were identified as Lawrence Cunningham and John Gillespie, caretakers of the razed structures. Large Orders Held Up. Acton, Mass.—With a shock felt within a radius of forty miles, the glazing mill of the American Powder Co. which, since the outbreak of the European war has been working to capacity, blew up. So far as known nobody was killed. The actual money loss to the company was not heavy, but it was stated that work on large orders probably would be held up several weeks. Property-owners in the surrounding towns, particularly in Maynard, were heavy losers because of shattered windows. The mill had been closed down since Saturday afternoon, and police of this town and Maynard expressed the belief the explosion was caused with intent to cripple the plant. An official of the company pointed out that the glazing mill, where the powder enters upon its last stage of manufacture, is the only part of the plant whose loss would stop the output. Armed guards have been stationed about the works for several weeks. WALSH MAKES REPORT WALSH MAKES REPORT HOLDS THAT LOW WAGES ARE THE BASIC CAUSE OF INDUSTRIAL UNREST. Kansas City, Mo.-Low wages was found to be the basic cause of, industrial unrest in the report which Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the federal commission on industrial relations, and the labor members of that body will present to congress as a result of the commission's two-year investigation into the subject. The report, embodying the personal findings of Mr. Walsh and concurred in by Commissioners John B. Lennon, James O'Connell and Austin B. Garretson, was made public here. "The workers of the nation, through compulsory and oppressive methods, legal and illegal, are denied the full product of their toll." It was declared in the report, and the resulting industrial dissatisfaction was said to have reached "proportions that already meant the social good will and the peace of the nation." Responsibility for the condition under which they live was placed primarily upon the workers themselves, who, "blind to their collective strength and oftentimes deaf to the cries of their followers, have suffered exploitation and the invasion of their most sacred rights without resistance." Ohio Girl Is Attacked. Dayton, O. — While following a path across a vacant lot on her way to Sunday school, Alice Ketterman, 11, was grabbed by a negro, who, she said, is about 36 years old, dragged into a corn field and attacked. The negro choked the child, then left her unconscious in the corn field and disappeared. It was not until about an hour later that she recovered sufficiently to walk home. Word was dispatched to the authorities in surrounding cities and a search for the assailant instituted. MRS. GEORGE E. DOWNEY HARRIS & EWING Mrs. Downey is the wife of George E. Downey, of Indiana, comptroller of the currency, who has been appointed by President Wilson to fill the vacancy on the bench of the United States court of claims. GEN, PASCUAL OROZCO DIES DEATH OF BANDIT Leader of: First Revolt Against 'Madero and Later One of Huerta's Aids is Killed by American Cowboys. El Paso, Tex.—General Pascual Orozco, leader of the first revolution against Madero and later one of Huerta's ablest generals, died the death of a common bandit on Monday when he and four Mexican companions were killed by American cowboys near Sierra Blanca, Tex., after they had robbed an American ranch house. American officers who knew Orozco well-identified him Tuesday afternoon as one of the slain, according to advice received here from Van Horn, where the bodies, have been taken. "Full details of the killing are lacking, but it is known that the Mexicans resisted arrest when a posse of 20 cowboys and deputy sheriffs surrounded them Monday morning in a canyon of the High Lone mountain, southeast of Sierra Blanca. They opened fire on the officers, who returned it. Not one of the bandits survived it. Sunday night the five robbers, led by Gen. Orozco, appeared at an American ranch house and ordered the employees on the place to cook them a meal. This was done and the Mexicans sat down at the table. While they were eating a deputy sheriff dode up to the ranch and the Mexicans, opened fire on him. The deputy went to the surrounding ranches for help and a posse was quickly organized. Early Monday morning the bandits were discovered in the canyon by the posse. When they were ordered to surrender, the Mexicans opened fire. UNSINKABLE WARSHIP FOR U. S. IS PLANNED Craft Will Have More Than Double the Present Number of Compartments in Parts of Hull Below Armor Belt. Washington, D. C.—The next battleships to be built for the United States navy will be of an unique type with more than double the present number of compartments in the parts of the hull below the armor belt. The object of the new type is to prevent the sinking of the ship even after the hull has received very serious wounds, either from shells or torpedeos. Experts stated that the plans for such vessels have the approval of the most prominent members of the general navy board and of the advisory council of the navy department. The new type has been adopted after practical experimentation with models of the new dreadnaughts, which were attacked both by torpedoes and shells on the necessary reduced comparative scale to represent actual warfare. A prominent navy official said that battleship building, so far as protective armor is concerned, had about reached the limit. This armor protection, he said, was of course, limited to the upper works, turrets and to a belt of about eight feet below the water mark. The armor as it exists, he said, would be ample protection even against the shells of the Queen Elizabeth type. The danger, however, lay in the opening up of large parts of the hull of a vessel, and this danger, he said, was increased in inverse proportion to the number of air-tight compartments. Paul Armstrong, Playwright, Dies. New York, City.-Paul Armstrong, the playwright, died suddenly at his home here of heart disease. He was 46. Mr. Armstrong was one of the prominent figures of the American stage the last 10 years. He wrote a number of popular plays and collaborated in other productions. He was born in Kidder, Mo. Among Mr. Armstrong's best known plays were: "The Hear to the Hoorah," "Salmane Jay," "Via Wireless," "Allas Jimmy Valentine," "The Deep Purple" and "The Greyhound."

Native Son of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is Airways Eager to Servo His Comrades. One of the Best Posted Men in His State—Close Student and a Musical Genius. Tuscaloosa, Ala.—Sixteen years president of the State Baptist Young People's union convention of Alabama and fifteen years teacher in the public school of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the record of Professor Benjamin H. Barnes, A.M., one of the most noted educators in the south and a man of rare ability. In the case of Professor Barnes may alone has been his guide and the cause of his promotion from time to time and has placed him in the front rank among the young people in this section of the country. He has made his way in his own home town because it was in this place where he was born and it was here where he got his foundation for an education, and he owes much of his inspiration and progress to his father, Professor Jeremiah Barnes, one of the oldest educators in the south and who has been principal of the school here for many years. That is, Professor Barnes started the educational work among the people in this section of the country, and, while he was not principal of the school at the opening, yet he has held that position for twenty-five years, and he had much to do with the laying of the educational foundation for his worthy son. He has taken work from the University of Chicago through correspondence and has a fine library, where he PROFESSOR B. H. DARNES. spends much of his idle time in digging out information. He is regarded today as one of the best posted young men in the state. "Serve" has been his motto, and he has never lost an opportunity to serve his people or any one needling his service. He is a Christian, has been since a small boy, and has been active both in church, and Sunday school. His main forte has been with the young people. They have recognized his worth by placing him at the head of their convention, where he could render good service. The First African Baptist church of Tuscaloosa knows his worth because he has for almost a quarter of a century been at the head of the Sunday school as superintendent, rendering good service. They have a well organized Sunday school, due to his work. Then, too, he has been organist of the church for nearly twenty years and is considered one of the best pipe organ men in the south. Professor Barnes is considered a musical genius in Alabama. His talent has been used for the development of his young people. He is serving his church and his race, placing the racial needs first. In everything that tends to develop and uplift the race this young man takes an active part. He is connected with a number of fraternal societies and benevolent organizations and is active in them all. During the summer, while not in the schoolroom, he devotes his time to the insurance business, being connected with the Union Central Relief company of Birmingham. He is kept busy all the time. He is manager of the Tuscaloosa office. Many honors have, been given him in his state and his native home. Two years ago Selma university recognized his worth in the literary-world by conferring on him the degree of master of arts, one well merited by the young educator. The First African Baptist church is, indeed, a large church. Professor Barnes is one of the trustees and was chairman of the building committee when a structure at a cost of $23,000 was erected by them. Not only is he the secretary of the trustee board and financial secretary of the church; but he is one of the deacons as well. In fact, he is in everything that means progress for that church and his people. He has assisted a large number of young people through school. PYTHIANS' BIENNIAL MEET.

BUSINESS MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE PROMOTER OF STATE FAIRS Rise of a Native Veteran from Obscurity to Worth and Influence at Capital of North Carolina—Believes That Individual Achievement Makes For More Substantial Race Progress. By GEORGE E. KING. Knoleigh, N. C. The National Negro Business league has effectively influenced many men and women of our race in this section, which has resulted in their material development. Among the men of the type, who are members of the league and who are doing constructive work for human uplift is Captain J. E. Hamlin of this city. He CAPTAIN J. E. HAMLIN. has the qualities necessary to win success in most any line of endeavor for the advancement of the race. Captain Hamlin never fails to emphasize that this city with its most excellent institutions of learning has many of the most progressive and innovative of our race for commercial residents who are capable of contributing their share of intelligence and thrift to such movements as the National Negro Business league, which is largely the source of inspiration for many of the spandul enterprises that are found in this section of the state. Being a man of broad conception and ability to develop forces that make hundreds of our people real factors, whether as farmers, artisans, ordinary laborers, business or professional folk, he is known nationally as well as locally. His energies and executive acumen saved for the Afro-Americans of North Carolina and adjacent states the state fair of North Carolina and reorganized it upon a same and successful basis while secretary of this movement for ten years. He has created such interest, among the constructive class of the race in this state that the fair is a splendid success each year. The educational and industrial activities of the race as shown by the exhibits at the fair serve as a great stimulating interest on the part of thousands of ambitious persons for the material side of life in like manner as the league is doing throughout the country. This splendid business man does not believe in exploiting the successful progress of the race to such an extent that the true destiny 'of the race may be affected by an overload of "windjamming." He believes in industriously exploiting the race capabilities by individual achievement. He is one of Raleigh's captains of modern commercial endeavors. He owns two first class drug stores, conducts a model restaurant, owns and operates a large and productive farm and jennery, has interest in a fruit store and owns valuable real estate in various parts of the city, including interest in several large buildings. He is directly giving employment to a number of our people and giving them good salaries. Captain Hamlin was born in Virginia. His family belonged to the Haywood family of this city. This accounts for his early residence here. He received his education at Shaw university and St. Augustine school, which prepared him for an eventful and successful career. He has constantly been in public affairs. His first position in the government service was in the Radford postoffice as clerk from 1881 to 1885. As an alderman his fitness for this position is manifested today because of certain progress this city has made. During the Spanish American war he was promoted to the captaincy of one of the companies of the Third North Carolina regiment of volunteer infantry, under the command of Colonel James H. Young of this city. Because of his fitness he was sent to the Philippines and became captain of a company in the Forty-eighth infantry of volunteers. He made a fine record and after a number of years returned to the states to look after his personal business interests. He is a factor in the present good relationship between the races here and is highly esteemed. High Recognition For Miss Fletcher: The Associated Charities of Cincinnati have employed Miss Martha Fletcher: a young woman of our race, as special worker and investigator among our people. FAMOUS 'LOOP THE LOOP'AIRMAN DIES Daredevil' Pegoud, Noted for His Many Hair-Raising Exploits, Is Killed. Hurled From His Machine Bombs With Almost Unfailing Accuracy on German Munition Depots Paris, France, Adolphe Pesqued, the famou frog "loop" loop" aviator, was killed Tuesday. "Bacodevil" Pesqued, so called, be- cause of his many hairraising exploits in aircrafts, was the man of whom a member of the French general staff sold recently. "His value to the French army is equivalent of a whole army corps." Executed Feats of Daring. Long before the war Pegoud was acclaimed as the premier aviator of the world. He was the first man flyer to execute the famous "loop-the-loop". But he was not satisfied, and almost weekly started the world with new feats of daring and co-brained work. The novelty of the aerial somersault worn off, he resorted to lateral movements as a variety, and an example of his complete mastery of the monoplane—his favorite machine was a Herlot—was given during an exhibition flight at Brooklands, in England, almost two years ago, when he amazed great throngs of British spectators by flying, not only upside down and sideways, but dived 3,000 feet in seconds, finishing his performance with a double loop-the-loop. Other favorite gyrations included flying for a quarter of a mile upside down, while strapped to the seat of his machine, describing vertical loops and making spiral half turns while his head lung downward. Received Medal for Valor. When the war started Pegoud was in Hamburg awaiting the arrival of three new machines with the intention of proceeding to America. He at once offered his services to France and soon became a torment to Germans on duty behind the line. His aim was to arm him in the Taupe. The machines were hurled at a stalling accuracy on German naval guns and gun positions, creating blasts directing cannons were launched, convoy were摧毁, railways and depots demolished all with gunsoft impunity. He tow both by schedule and without schedule, and never a day but he got his bag. To sight an enemy aeroplane was a signal for combat. Only last March he was decorated with the military medal for valor. The official announcement said: "On several occasions he pursued enemy aeroplanes and on Feb. 3 attacked at a great height and caused the fall of a German machine. Soon afterward he attacked two other air craft, causing one to fall and the second to land. In April he brought down a German Taupe near Saint-Menhould while alone on patrol and then captured and brought in as prisoners the German pilot and observer. Earlier in the same day he had driven off three German machines in an air battle." BODIES TAKEN FROM F-4 BODIES TAKEN FROM F-4 SEVERAL CORPSES OF MEN WHO DIED IN U. S. SUBMARINE ARE FOUND IN VESSEL. Honolulu—Several bodies of the 22 men who sank to their death in the United States submarine F-4 March 25' in Honolulu bay, were found Tuesday entangled in the mud and debris in the vessel's hold. One body has been removed. Others, in a bad state of preservation, will be removed later. The body which has been taken from the vessel has been identified as that of George E. Ashcroft of Los Angeles, gunner's mate. It is thought identification of the other bodies never can be made unless some distinctive mark on the men's clothing will make this possible. Washington, D. C.—Serious weaknesses common to all four of the navy's "F" type of submarine are pointed out in the report, just made public, of the board of inquiry which made an investigation at Honolulu immediately after the loss of the F4. The report praises the men who went down in the F-4 as efficient and as having shown ability to operate the submersible with as much safety as the type of boat permitted. John Brown's Aid Dies. Madison, Wis.—Edward P. Bridgman, aged 81, one of the few survivors of the band that fought under John Brown of Osawattomie, Kan., in 1856, died at his home here. Sixteen Miners Killed Johnstown, Pa. - Sixteen miners, most of them foreigners, were killed by a gas explosion in the Orenda mine of the Merchant's Coal Co. at floswell. Three hundred men were working in the mine at the time of the blast, and it was first believed that all had escaped with the exception of one, Joe Mantok, who was instantly killed. When the debris near the entrance was penetrated, however, rescuers found the bodies of 14 others, who had been overcome by the after-damp. GERMANY YIELDS TOU.S.DEMANDS Says She Will Conduct Submarine Warfare According to International Law. Kaiser's Action Clears Diplomatic Dckes.for Demand on Great Britain That She Subscribe to.-Presi- Washington, D. C.—Germany officially notified the United States Wednesday that she will conduct her submarine warfare in accordance with the principles of international law as construed and laid down in this government's notes to Germany on that subject. This concession practically ends the German-American crisis. The action of Germany clears the diplomatic decks for a demand on Great Britain that she subscribe to President Wilson's insistence on the freedom of the seas, which principle was Wednesday virtually conceded in writing by Germany. The promise and guarantee of Germany are that she will not sink liners without warning and without making provision for the safety of the lives of non-combatants. If the liners don't try to escape or offer resistance. Secretary of State Lansing and officials close to the president regard the concessions of Germany as a "recognition of the fundamental principle for which we (the administration) have contended." Letter of Count Bernstorff. The official statement of the attitude of Germany was conveyed in the following letter from Count Von Bernstorff, the German-ambassador, to Secretary of State Lausung: My Dear Mr. Secretary, With reference to our conversation of this morning, I beg to inform you that my instructions concerning our answer to your last Lusitania note contains the following: "Linners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and without safety of the lives of non-combatants being assured, provided that the linners don't try to attack us." Although I know that you don't wish to discuss the Lusitania question till the Arabic incident has been definitely and accurately described, you of the above because this policy of my government was decided on, before the Arabic incident occurred. I have no objection to your making any use of you may please of the above information. I remain, my dear Mr. Lansing, Very sincerely yours. J. BERNSTORF. Appended to the ambassador's letter, as given out by Secretary Lansing, was the following statement by Mr. Lansing: In view of the clearness of the foregoing statement it seems.gedgeds to make any comment in regard to it, other than to say that it appears to be a recognition of the fundamental principle for which we have contended. This comment of Secretary of State Lansing on the ambassador's letter reflected the attitude of the White House and all of the friends of the administration. Question of 'Reparation' Next. As the statement of Count Von Bernstorf is reflective of Germany's attitude on the Lusitania and the United States government has expressed its satisfaction with the principles of the statement, the question of "reparation" for lives lost on the Arabic and Lusitania will now proceed, probably by some means of diplomatic arbitration to which the United States committed itself in the case of the William P. Frye. Perhaps the most important suggestion of the letter of Ambassador Bernstorf is its reference to the case of the Arabic. The note reveals two things as to this case: First—That President Wilson regarded a settlement of that matter as a condition precedent to further discussions with Germany on the Lusitania. Second—That the skillful phrasing of the ambassador's letter reveals that there can be now no danger of acute controversy between this government and Germany over the Arabic incident. It is clear from the fact that Germany had instructed her commanders to warn liners and protect their-passengers from death before the Arabic incident; that if the commander of the Arabic did not comply with the requirements both of the United States and Germany, Germany will disavow the act of her submarine commander and make separation for American lives lost on that vessel. Conversely if it be shown that the Arabic was warned and that she tried to escape or resist, German responsibility will have disappeared to a large extent. The frank declaration by the German government, that the commander of the submarine in the Arabic case had the proper instructions discounts any-probability of further trouble over this incident, which the United States government regarded as the most serious of all the issues with Germany. Quata Teachers' Club. Chicago, Ill.—The Chicago Teachers' Federation, considered one of the most influential organizations of its kind in the country, must disband within the next three months. By a vote of 11 to 9 the board of education voted to adopt the resolution of Jacob M. Loeb, chairman of the rules committee, calling for abolition of the federation. The edict prohibits any teacher from membership in the federation or any kind of so-called labor organization.

Very truly yours, Frank B, Wills, ANOTHER SPEEDY VICTORY. When the Governor's letter, repub- lished herewith, arrived last week Thursday, The Gazette was going to press. We just had time to insert the letter. That is why no explanation ap- peared with it. It was the culmina tion of a short, hot fight to put a stop to the effort of the State Medical Board to “Alabamaize” or ‘'Mississip pi-ize” our people of Ohio along a cer- fain line, In its forms, furnished those who made application for cer: fifleates to practice “a limited branch of medicine or surgery” (chiropody, ete), among other things the State Medical Board required the spplicant to state his or her “race, nationality (or race) and complexion.” What for, the Lord, the State Medical Board and some others know, It will not be nee: essary for us {0 tell our readers, be eause they knows. Our attention was called to this matter by Ralph W. Ty ler of Columbus, who requested that we take up the matter with Gov. Wil lis and, if possible, have stopped at once a practice that savored too much of “Alabama” and “Mississippi” and the Wilson administration (southern) democratic civil service requirements which also insist that a photograph, of the applicant for a federal job, be ent, Well, we wrote the Governor last week Monday, explaining the mat- ter to him and asking that he take it up promptly with the State Medical Board and, if possible, put a stop to the insulting practice referred to. His letter, which follows, was his answer. Yes, Governor, the action meets with our approval and that of every self and race respecting Afro-American in the state of Ohio, and all thank you for it just as we have been more than pleased to do on several other like occasions since the first of the year, Std. saul eonk Gihee’ “THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.” State of Ohio Executive Department ‘Columbus S August 25, 1915.

I thank you sin- cerely for your courtesy in setting the watter right with your good people. T notice the reference you make to the forms which have been provided by the State Medical Board under the Platt iis iil, took this “matter ‘up at once with Dr. Matson, secretary of the board. After quite a full dis- eussion the doctor agreed to elimi: nate the objectionable provision. The new blenks will say nothing about face or complexion.

Neither crime is a stranger to the district of the south Jin which it was perpetrated. ‘The first occurs in every part of the world ‘The second, a substitution of burning by a mob for execution after fair trial and condemnation under the law is ‘one which does not oceur among any “nonbarbarons people except in the American south. This fact is the dark est stain on the good name of Amer ica. It burns red across the world Wherever news travels, the horror o ‘Temple, Tex, will be imown, as the horror years ago of Paris, Tex., wa: |known. ‘The murder or ravishing o! [women is an offense that stirs emo |tions deeper, perhaps, than any other jin oir nature. “Phat justice should follow swiftly and terrible is right “But what followed in Temple, and | What hhas followed too often in the south, is an offense more heinous ‘more demoralizing and vicious in its influence than that which it was as sumed. to. punish. ‘Not only is this true beyond debate but it is also true that since the latter offense is recurrent as. well as. the former, the guilt of it, the shame of ‘it, falls upon-the community which ‘tolerates its repetition, ‘Texas is: dis graced by it, and the south and the United States.

Is Texas so unable ‘to cope with the dregs of its own peo: ple that it must permit this unspeak ‘able thing to shame her and America again and again? Is Texas unable or ‘unwilling to cope with it by legisla. tion and by efficient. police adminis. ‘uation? Other communities have in their care subject or backward races or classes. ‘They do not tolerate such outbreaks of the abysmal brute, What has Texas done to protect her women ‘better and to protect herself better?

A Euro. _pean of distinction recently, remarked to an American traveler: “Is it pos ‘sible that these communities think ‘less of the offense against your wo men than of the pleasure of the pun.

We should all be there to learn all we can about the Foundation. It was reported the first of the week that the Woolworth 5 & 10 cent store on Euclid Ave., had a woman of the race and a child on display in its window advertising a song entitled, "Go to Sleep, My Little Pick-anniny"; also that the appearance of the woman and child was anything but encouraging, too.

WINBUSH 2192 E. 35th St. Prospect 1043-J GLOBIA'S GARDENER He Cultivated the Flower of Love in His Mistress' Heart. By JOHN DARLING. James Randal strolled slowly past the Woodville cottage. Certainly the lovely grounds were sadly in need of a gardener's care and just as surely were his fagged nerves in need of the restful tonic that working in that garden would provide. He had taken the day in the country that he might select a quiet boarding house in which to spend a month or two, but alas! The quiet boarding houses were so totally lacking in attractiveness that Randal had decided that of two evils the lesser was the city boarding house. Even the appalling set of people in the city house was no doubt preferable to deadly monotony in the country. "But I would love to garden that bit of property," he sighed and would have passed the Woodvine cottage for the last time save that a slip of a girl at that psychological moment happened to come out of the vine-covered porch. Her hair was braided in a long sunny plait and her smile traversed the distance between Randal and the porch. He retraced his footsteps and went up the path toward the girl. His wails was impulsive as were his intentions. The girl gazed questioningly at him though with a gleam of interest in her eyes; eyes that were far seeing, as if they expressed the beauty of a great mind. "Is there a chance in the world that you require a gardener?" Randal asked as he reached the girl's side. "I certainly require one." Gloria Woodvine returned quickly, then with slight hesitation, "but I am not sure that I want one." "Oh," was Randal's ejaculation, "then do you perhaps know anyone who does both require and want my services?" "Yours? Are you the gardener? She looked him up and down with dawning wonder in her eyes. "Yes. And I would have this bit of property looking like a show place in two weeks if you would let me There are wonderful possibilities here," Randal said, and the peculiar look in his eyes brought a slight flush to Gloria's cheeks. "I couldn't pay very much," she said quickly, "because I keep this little place up myself. My family considers me mad for coming down here in the country to live. It is my own retreat for writing and I have not been able to get someone to make it beautiful, much as I wanted to." "If you permit me to pitch a tent down by that clump of fir trees and camp there I will care for the garden, plant some vegetables, get a few laying hens and help you a lot. Is it a go? I really need the work." Gloria looked rather startled but a tiny smile played about her lips. Assuredly here was a type around whom she might write a story. She would chance the trial anyway. If he did not please her she could easily dismiss him. "I am down here for absolute quiet and concentration," she told him. "I would have to ask you to go about your work without consulting me more than is absolutely necessary. My old black mammy will always be about." Randall looked searchingly at Gloria Woodvine. Suddenly he knew who it was she reminded him of him. was Freddy Woodvine, but Randal had not associated the name of the cottage with that of the girl. Now he knew who she was and his task became one of trebled interest. She was Gloria Woodvine, Freddy's sister, and an authoress of no small fame. "Sis is a bit daffy," Freddy had said on one occasion when Randal had wanted to meet her. "She goes off into silences and retreats and never shows up until she brings a full-fledged novel back with her." "I will pitch my tent tomorrow, if it is agreeable to you," he said and realized that he could scarcely wait to shake the dust of newspaper of fices from his feet and take up his abode in the garden of Gloria. As he traveled on the Long Island railway back to town all he saw as he went past villages was two long braids of golden hair that hung down Gloria's back. "Absurd," he warned himself, "and remember," he added to his mental conversation, "you are to consult her black mammy and not herself for anything you may require." And Randal found after a few days in Gloria's garden, that his nerves were beginning to respond to proper treatment, but that they were apt to play tricks when the girl with the sunny hair was anywhere in sight. He did not seek to talk with her. All that he wanted he obtained from Martha, and many a hint on cooking did he get from that source. He prepared his own meals on his camp fire and altogether enjoyed his eccentric actions more than anything he had tried for a long time. His holiday was going to be a great success. The garden, too, responded to proper care and looked much like a dainty flower basket set against a background of tall chestnut trees. Vegetables which found their way to black Martha's kitchen and hence to the table of Gloria, were a great success. The chickens, too, produced Gloria's breakfast, and Randal rejoiced each day in the chance that had sent him past Woodville cottage. Gloria, apparently deeply engrossed with her hero of fancy, did, however, find time to discuss the new gardener with black Marta, and to learn from her faithful servant that Randal was all but a paragon. "He done cut down our 'spenses by half with his chickens and 'matoes and onions. Seems lak I never could make 'em grow." Gloria had also found many moments to spare while thinking out passages of speech. These she employed by watching Randal's strong body as it plowed or built chicken coops or gathered sticks for his camp fire. Her speculating as to his real reason for working in a garden was more vague than she liked. "I wish I knew," she repeated often to herself. It was her very interest in him that kept Gloria away from Randal when she would often have strolled about seeking information from him about flowers or chatting on general subjects. She was curiously shy about seeing him and wondered not a little at her own silly reasons for not wishing to see much of her gardener. She had been sitting at her typewriter for many hours and was just stepping onto the porch when a great man threw his arms about her and held her struggling against him. "Thought I'd come down and pay a surprise visit," the man told her with a hearty laugh. "Sis, you are daffy to live all by yourself." Freddy Woodvine told her for the hundredth time, "but it's jolly good to get into the country for a day. Hope you don't mind and that I am not butting into one of those silences or something." Gloria laughed and hugged her big brother affectionately. "Hello! Who's the man in the tent?" Freddy cast swift eyes at his sister. Much to Gloria's disgust, she blushed hotly. "That is my gardener—he takes charge of the chickens and—" "Guess I will go down and have a look at him." Freddy said with more or less brotherly intolerance toward his sister's mode of living. "I am not sure that it's respectable to have a strange man camping in the garden," he flung back at her. Gloria was so indignant that she flounced within the cottage to tell her troubles to Martha. Had she waited until Freddy reached the tent she would have seen the delighted meeting of the two men and would have heard the laughter that followed. She did, however, hear the returning footsteps of her brother, and, looking out, discovered that he was coming arm in arm with her gardener. Presented to her gardener in a most formal manner by her brother, she smiled the smile that Randal remembered as having lingered on the first day of their meeting in Gloria's eyes. "You are a pair of dippies," was Freddy's comment in a disgusted tone. "I done knows he was a gentleman." Martha said, as she stood in the doorway watching developments. "I suppose you will be telling me next that you two have fallen in love with each other," there was a hint of hope in Freddy's tone. "You have no right to suppose anything of the kind," flashed Gloria. "Besides, Mr. Randal has not given me a chance to fall in love with him even if I had wanted to." "We can soon fix that up," laughed Randal. "The sooner my sister is tied up to a sensible man, the better off she'll be," Freddy said, and drew Gloria into his arms. "Isn't that right, Martha?" "It sure am, Mars' Fred," Martha nodded, grinning broadly. "It's a great pity Mr. Randal is not the sensible man," Gloria laughed demurely. "I can be anything from a journalist to a gardener," Randal told her. "Surely being sensible is not so difficult when there is so much at stake." Gloria blushed with becoming mod- Gloria blushed with becoming modesty. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Iron in Water. Iron can be detected in water by taste when there is one-half unit of it to a million units of water; and more than four or five units would make the water unpalatable. In some mineral springs iron is the constituent that gives the water its medicinal value, but ordinarily, says the Youth's Companion, it is undesirable. If more than 2.5 units in the million are present in the water that the laundress uses for laundering, the clothes will be stained. If more than two or three units in the million are in water that the paper maker uses, his paper will be stained. The ice made from water that contains iron is cloudy and discolored. If much iron is in the water that the engineer uses for making steam, it will do harm, for it contains acids that, when set free in the boiler, corrode the boiler plates. The amount of iron carried in solution by most waters is, however, so small that the damage it does to steam boilers is generally not great. Water with a good deal of iron in it has in many instances great trouble and expense in city water works, for iron so favors the growth of cremothrix, musty, stringy bacteria^a, that the pipes every little while become clogged with Giant Grotto. The immense covern bearing this name is situated near Trieste, Austria, and is said to be the largest known to exist. It consists of one vast chamber, 787 feet long, 433 feet broad and 452 feet high. There are three entrances, two in the roof and one at the edge of the roof, which has recently been provided with ladders with steps, so that visitors can safely descend into the grotto. Once on the bottom, progress is easy. The cavern contains remarkable groups of stalacites, some of them of gigantic size and others of bizarre shapes. The tallest stalacite has a length of a little more than 39 feet. No side or underlying caverns have yet been discovered. The bottom of the grotto is 525 feet below the surface of the ground forming the top of the root, which in turn is about 1,580 feet above sea level. After the Honeymoon "I think his love is growing cold." "Now, my dear, you mustn't imagine things." "It is not imagination. He reads a newspaper while I am sitting on his lap." Something of the Sort. "He posed as a railroad director." "Well, was it a fake?" "Not exactly. He presides over the information bureau at the Union station." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915. FOR THE GUEST ROOM PRETTY THINGS MAKE THE WEL COME SEEM REAL First Consideration for a Guest Is Comfort—Annoyance of Delayed Baggage Can Be Overcome by Little Foresight. It is a good idea to prepare pretty things for fitting up the guest room. The first consideration for a guest is comfort. She may be delighted with the vase of flowers that greets her from the table, but she will be sure to appreciate a pretty negligee hanging in the closet. One's luggage seldom arrives at its destination with oneself, and a negligee to slip into is often a comfort indeed. Feet are apt to be tired, and until slippers arrive the feet would be glad to rest in a pair of simple bedroom slippers. These are really no trouble at all to make. You just take a pair of lamb's wool soies and a strip of ribbon long enough to go around the sole and four inches wide. One edge is sewed to the edge of the sole and the other is turned down to make a hem through which is run a narrow elastic. This draws the ribbon up, shaping it into a shoe. Supposing one chooses blue ribbon and works a few rosebuds on the toes in embroidery silk and makes a simple kilmoon of pale blue cotton crepe trimmed with a frill of white lace and finished with a loose belt of pink ribbon. This would be a very dainty outfit and cost but little. Four yards of crepe at 15 cents a yard, plain or flowered in blue, with two yards of lace at ten cents a yard, and two yards of ribbon at 12½ cents a yard, will be ample. In fact if one looked around for bargains one dollar would probably cover the entire cost. Curtains can be made before they are needed, and one gets such a choice of dainty inexpensive materials in the early spring. The printed lawns in the dress goods section make the prettiest curtains if one cannot find what she wants in the scrim and curtain muslins. White cotton voile can be used for the sash curtains, edged with lace. The colored curtains should be made with a valance and if made as follows one can save on material: Cut two lengths, each measuring $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards, and hem one end. Cut a strip the entire width of the goods Guest Slippers. and 12 inches wide. Hem one raw edge and sew the selvedge eges to the top of the two curtains (coming between them) and making one long straight edge. Hem this and pass the rod through, then hang. The bedspread edged with a frill might be of the same material as the curtains, but I should like the bureau Dainty Device Which Adds to the Beauty of the Household Chest. One of the dainty devices to add to the beauty of the bride's household chest is the band of ribbon to hold piles of sheets; pillow slips, towels, tablecloths and napkins in order. The band is made of pink, lavender, blue, green or yellow satin ribbon an inch and a half or two inches wide. It is fastened with a small bone clasp and the ribbon is adjusted to different lengths by means of bone slides that move back and forth along the ribbon. A big satin rose covers the clasp. Two of these straps are fastened about each pile of linen. When the packages of linen are piled one on top of the other on closet shelves or in a chest the roses are pulled to the front of each package; and so the packages can be unfastened and a towel pulled from one, a pair of sheets from another, without disturbing the whole pile. New Parasol. There is something new in vanity fair—a parasol of the name. It has the effect of an eight-petaled flower, and the semblance is carried out by the outline of each of the eight sections being carried to the center by a series of little gathers. It takes two pieces of material to make each section, therefore, 16 in all. The parasol is so unique and attractive that the makers have protected the design by patent rights. Variations of fete parasols of Japanese origin are seen. Never was there such a wide variety in this particularly feminine article. FASHIONS AND FADS The newest petticoats are made of tulle. Summer fashion favors the transparent sleeve. White skirts for tennis favor the wide pocket effects. Hose pink is a good shade for a lawn country frock. The all-black hat of velvet is fashion's latest caprice. There are huge taffeta roses placed at the waist line. Knitted slik sport coats in stripes are very effective. Even bathing suits have skirts formed of a series of ruffles. Boned brassieres are now being made expressly for bathing. Beaded gate-top bags are made of black or navy blue moire. Circular skirts are finished with bias bands of plaid material. Carry a parasol of gorgeous hue and a small handbag of brilliant taffeta. Tiny hand-painted pearl buttons and dyed pearl buttons in odd shapes are to appear on autumn waists. --- A The Model of This Afternoon Gown is of Black Taffeta. The Skirt Is Medium Width and Gathered at the Waist. On Each Side There is a Plain Gore, the Front and Back Gore Being Gathered More Fully Than the Gore at the Sides. There Are Two Deep Folds at the Bottom of the Back and Front Gore. These Are Beaded With a Frill About Two Inches Deep. The Waist and Sleeves Are in One and Is Open in a "V" at the Neck. The High Standing Collar Gives It a Chic Touch. A Black Velvet Toque Completes the Costume. scarf of the voile lace trimmed, laid over the prevailing color, with a pin cushion (filled with pins) to match Slips for cushions could be simple white material over a color or decorated in a color. The Season's Parasols. Smart parasols which look like miniature awnings are to be had in awning stripes of black and white. These "awning" parasols also appear in other colors. A parasol of very rich effect is the new Japanese parasol. The framework is so adjusted as to make this sun umbrella very flat and Japanese in line. The silk covering is plain, but the shade may be as rich as you wish. The border of the parasol is hemistitched, and upon the double fold are worked tiny Japanese characters in gold thread two to a gore. UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD Black Velvet Hat, Sailor Shaped With a Large Puff of Velvet in the Front and a String of Silver Beads Around It. The New Style Bangs Are Curled Instead of Being Straight. Cords and Tassels. Cords and tassels are a trimming feature worth noting. Satin cords with silk tassels attached are used on some of the new hats. Metallic cords and tassels are also used on hats. Cords and tassels are used at the girdle, sometimes, and often about the neck. When used at the neck, the cord is usually substituted by a ribbon, and the tassel is in the form of a beaded or weaved pendant. To Clean Ribbons. A cleaning mixture made especially for ribbons consists of gin, one-half pint; honey, one-half pound; soft soap, one-half pound; water, one-eighth pint. Mix together. Scrub the solled portions of the ribbon with this mixture. Afterward rinse in three clean waters by dipping the ribbon up and down in them to remove all trace of the cleanser. Allow the water to drip away from the ribbons and iron with a fairly hot iron under a clean muslin cloth until it is dry. If it seems too wet for ironing, wipe with a cloth before ironing dry. Soutache and Embroidery Embroidery of one sort or another continues in high favor. Embroidered net frocks for summer afternoons and evenings are a wise choice for the woman who wishes to have a serviceable and yet a sufficiently elaborate trock Soutache braiding is much used, too, applied in all the intricacies of embroidered scroll designs. Some dresses have the elongated waist line, suggesting the moyen age AUTUMN HATS NOT FAVORED BY AVERAGE WOMAN.

She does not possess the face to wear such a hat. Youth, glorious, insolent youth, which in these recent days has been able to take unto itself any of the sartorial bravados of the hour, will, probably, adopt these hats that savor, unpleasantly, of the reign of Louis New Shape in Black Velvet. XI, whose era was enlivened by the wit of Francois Vilson and by the bennin which brought its obdurate wearers a stern rebuke from the church. Any and all kinds of high, brimless hats seem to be on the milliners shelves. The silk top hat, worn by the schoolboy at Eton, is among the number and has already been worn over here, much to the amusement of the bystanders, who thought it was merely a theatrical trick. It appears now that it was a genuine forerunner of . . . new fashion. It goes with the broad Eton collar of stiffened linen which the shops have been trying to make popular since April. When a young woman adds the hat and the collar to a short Eton jacket of velveteen, it is a pity that the excessively narrow skirt has ceased to be, for its addition as a final touch to the costume would be an excellent mimicry of British boyhood. The Eton jacket, by the way, is not at all amiss in the fashions of the day. It has an oriental counterpart in the loose bolero that the French are putting on their newest evening frocks, boleros of beaded embroidery, of tulle embroidered, of crystal net under which shine the colors of a soft sash. Another point about the new hats—to get back to the subject—is the promised use of flowers. This is done is Paris to give plentiful work to the thousands of flower makers among the women and girls, and it may spread over here. Everywhere one sees evidence now of the employment of available and needy human material by the French fashion creators.

A gay hat gives a distinctive air to its wearer, especially when it is worn with a frock of less noticeable color. A Time-Saving Device.
