--- IN URGON DEMOCRATIC GERMAN ZEPPELINS AGAIN RAID ENGLAND GERMAN ZEPPELINS AGAIN RAID ENGLAND Visit Coast Towns and Drop Bombs Causing the Death of 13 People and Injury of 46 Others. London, England.—For the second time within 24 hours German Zeppelins have raided England. The casualties of the second raid, which occurred shortly after midnight of Wednesday, have not been officially announced. The casualties of the first raid—that of Tuesday night—were announced by the press-bureau as 13 killed, and 48 injured. Of the killed 12 were women and children. With Emperor Nicholas in direct command, the Russian armies are battling desperately from Riga to Bessarabia to halt the Austro-Germans, who are attacking at almost every point on the 900-mile line. On a front of 56 miles the Russians have been forced to retreat beyond the Ikwa river, according to an official statement just received from Vienna. Duobno, the Volhynian fortress; stands on the Ikwa, and military experts fear it is imperilled by the Austrian victory. While the greatest activity continues on the two extreme wings, the Germans claim considerable progress in the center, where Prince Leopold's armies, striking at the Vilna-Lemberg railway, have occupied Wolkowsyk. This city, east of Bialytatok, is little less, than half way between that point and Baranovitchi, the railroad junction at which they are driving. About 2,800 prisoners were taken at Wolkowsyk. Other groups of this army working their way through the marshes are reported to have captured 1,000 Russian prisoners. Fighting of the most serious conflict continues on both the northern and southern sides of the former theater the German, while still held in check on the Dvina river, have made further advances toward Vilna, winning the narrow necks of land between the lakes in the Troiknowe district, southwest of the city. Everywhere they are meeting heavy resistance on the part of the Russians, who apparently have received large supplies of ammunition and reinforcements of men, probably withdrawn from the Petrograd district. Grand *Duke Nicholas* has been transferred to the Caucasus by Emperor Nicholas. The emperor took this action on assuming command of the military and naval forces of Russia. In transferring the grand duke, he appointed him viceroy of the Caucasus and the commander-in-chief of the army on the southern front, with an overall supervision with general reorganization of such importance that it has stirred the nation deeply. The grand duke replaces the famous viceroy of the Caucasus, Count Von Vorontzoff-Dashkoff. HEAR TEUTON DEFENSE IN SINKING OF ARABIC U. S. Officials Learn Thru Press Reports Germany Contends That Her Submarine Was in Danger of Being Rammed. Berlin, Germany (via London).—Germany's note to the United States concerning the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic says the submarine acted in self-defense, expresses the German government's deep regret that American lives were lost thereby, and offers to refer the questions of reparation and compensation to The Hague for adjustment. The note was handed to American Ambassador James W. Gerard Wednesday evening. It reveals in detail the instructions to submarine commanders concerning their treatment of liners. They are ordered not to attack a passenger steamer except in case it attempts to escape after it is ordered to halt, or unless its actions indicate an intention to attack a submarine. Washington, D. C.—State department officials said that they have not yet received from Ambassador Gerard the German note in explanation of the sinking of the Arabic. They had read, however, press dispatches that the note had been handed to Gerard and that Germany sets up the defense that her submarine was in danger of being rammed by the Arabic. "This defense," said one official, "presents a view of the matter favorable to the German cause. Our information, however, has been altogether to the contrary, that the vessel was torpedoed without warning. This defense, if it proves to be official, creates simply a new issue of fact, and the evidence on both sides must be weighed before the department can state an opinion or make a reply to the German note." Robbera Use Warfare Tactics. Jefferson, Okla.—Tactics borrowed from the trench warfare in Europe enabled three robbers to loot the Farmers' state bank here. Before entering the bank the men broke into a hardware store and procured some barbed wire with which they erected entanglements about the bank. Four charges of explosives were used to wreck the safe. The first aroused the townpeople; but before the citizens could devise a way of overcoming the wire barrier, the robbers had taken $2,000 and escaped. THE GAZETTE ADMIRAL W. S.

AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL MAKES NO APOLOGY ENVOY CALLS ON SECRETARY LANSING Explains at Length Letter He Wrote to the Foreign Office at Vienna, Which was Found in Effects of War Correspondent. Washington.—Dr. Constantine Theodore Dumba, the Austrian ambassador to the United States, explained at some length to Secretary Lansing Tuesday the letter he wrote to the foreign office at Vienna, which was found in the effects of James F. Archibald, war correspondent, arrested in England. While Secretary Lansing declined afterward to indicate what steps this government will take, it was made plain that the verbal explanation of Ambassador Dumba was not entirely satisfactory. Certainly it was not sufficiently assuring to bring the incident to a close. The best information obtainable indicates that Ambassador Dumba contended he had committed no wrong in planning to persuade Austro-Hungarian workmen to leave the employment of plants making ammunition for the allies; that he made no apologies for his activity, and that he suggested to Secretary Lansing that this government could not pass judgment on the matter till it had studied the text of the letter itself. According to the ambassador's own admission, he has no copy of the letter. It is understood, therefore, that Secretary Lansing assured him he would ask Ambassador Page at London to obtain from the British government a complete copy of the letter and cable it here at once. In addition, the ambassador will submit a written memorandum to the state department. After consideration of this statement and the full, text of the letter this government will determine whether it will suggest to the Austrian government that the usefulness of Dumba in this country has been impaired or whether it will take no further notice of the incident. The ambassador himself refused to discuss the details of his conference with the secretary of state, insisting that his Lenox statement was representative of his position. Finally, however, he exclaimed significantly: "It is my duty to inform my countrymen when they are doing wrong. They are doing wrong in making ammunition for our enemies. I am not a neutral; I am an Austrian, and the allies are our enemies. If I can't advise my countrymen, then I might as well not be here." This in itself confirms the statement that Dumba strongly insisted to the secretary of state that he had done nothing wrong in seeking to dissuade Austro-Hungarians from manufacturing war supplies which would go to an enemy country. Such a position means the United States is confronted outright with the question of a construction of Dumba's acts. If this government does not care to overlook these acts, the pending investigation must lead to a recall, or at least to a presentation of the facts to Vienna for its decision. It is still the impression here that if the Austrian ambassador is not recalled the matter of policy will be responsible. Quake Razes Salvador Capital. La Libertad, Salvador. A violent earthquake has occurred in San Salvador and Guatemala. Jutia, a capital of the department of the same name in Guatemala, is in ruins. In the city of San Salvador no victims have been reported. In Santa Ana there were a few casualties. The churches in Santa Ana and several public buildings are ruined. Sensorone and other villages of the republic were also hit hard by the earth's shocks. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1915. FOREMOST AMONG BAPTIST LEADERS FOREMOST AMONG BAPTIST LEADERS Scholarly Attainments of Dr. George E. Morris. Minister at First Baptist Church in Camden, N. J., Serves in Many Good Movements for Racial and Denominational Advancement—Graduate of the Old Richmond (Va.) Institute. By GEORGE P. KING. Camden, N. J.-For several years the church life among our people in this city has become very effective. The economic life of the people has also been made much better. That the church is stimulating the young people to strive for the things that will make them useful citizens, especially in this section, is more pronounced than ever before. Despite the request of the better element of both races in Morristown, N. J., after vitally stamping his impress for good upon the populace of that place by many years of exceptional service and erecting a handsome church, the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D, Ph. D., came to Camden a few years ago to take charge of the First Baptist church. This bundle of energy got into the movements to better conditions in Camden, and today he has so rehabilitated the affairs of his new church that it is in the front rank of churches in New Jersey. Not only is Dr. Morris faremost in the ministerial ranks locally, but he is the leader of the Baptist forces of New Jersey. Since 1902 he has been president of the Baptist state convention, and for REV. GEORGE E. MORRIS, PH. D. ten years he has served as vice president of the national Baptist convention from this state. Dr. Morris was born in Richmond, Va. During his early years he had to assist in supporting his widowed mother. After attending night school for two years and becoming converted and desiring to prepare himself for efficient work for humanity in general he entered the Richmond Institute and Theological seminary (now the Virginia Union university) and continued at this well-known institution until his graduation for the Christian ministry. He had the reputation of being one of the best Hebrew and Greek students attending the university and won many honors. He was licensed to preach in 1888 and afterward accepted a call from the Calvary, Baptist church, Morristown, N. J. His success in Morristown gave him great influence among the people. It is conceded that 'he is among the ablest pulpeters and pastors of his denomination. Some years ago he wrote a sermon for the National Baptist Magazine on the subject "God Man," which was declared by theologians to be one of the most scholarly sermons produced by any minister of the denomination known at the time. Through the indefatigable efforts of this modest and genial leader, who has every qualification of a leader by sticking to his followers, New Jersey has taken first place, according to numbers, in the denomination with which he is so eminently connected. His annual addresses before his state convention are pronounced potent factors in shaping the activities of the Baptist churches of the state and from a literary viewpoint have been termed "gems" and highly instructive. That he is highly esteemed by both races is fully attested by his connection with varied movements among both races. He has served as a member of the board of the New Jersey state Baptist convention, and the leaders of this body often seek his advice regarding efforts for the furtherance of home missions. Dr. Morris is also a strong influence in the great work of the New England Baptist convention. The ambitious young Afro-American who is striving along the right lines to become a wholesome influence in every phase of righteous activities finds a stanch supporter in Dr. Morris and his most amiable and cultured wife. Mrs. Morris is a native of Richmond, Va., and is the daughter of Rev. George E. Johnson. Industrial and business pursuits are among the vocations: which Dr. and Mrs. Morris are strongly advocating for our young people. WELL QUALIFIED LEADER. Bright Future Predicted For Rev. Dr. W. Simpson, Brooks. The Rev. W. Simpson Brooks, D. D., minister of the St. Paul A. M. E. church, St. Louis, has returned to his home after a most interesting trip to New York and other large cities of the east. While in New York Dr. Brooks was kept very busy with matters pertaining to the International Order of Mystic Shriners, which held its annual session in New York the early part of August. He is a member of the order and shows great interest in his work. Dr. Brooks also attended to much important business connected with his denomination and his church. From New York he went to Washington, where he was also warmly received and kept busy. He is one of the most prominent of the many able young ministers of the African Methodist church. His rise and success in the ministry have been almost phenomenal. He is well educated, eloquent and gifted as a preacher and if one is to judge from his past record it is safe to prescribe for him the highest honor in the his denomination in the near future. He is a man of courage, fhe common sense and energy to a degree. Dr. Brooks is not only scholarly, but a trained writer. He has traveled extensively in the Holy Land and has put the results of his travel and study in writing. His new book, entitled "Footprints of a Black Man in the Holy Land" has recently come from the press. Dr. Brooks is not only interested in the immediate work of his church and denomination, but in all good movements for the good of the race. He is also much interested in the young people and believes in giving them a chance to be trained along both religious and secular lines. His friends throughout the country are watching his progress with keen interest. GREATER NEW YORK CHURCH UNION CONDEMNS LYNCHING Murder of Will Stanley Arouses Influential Religious Organization. New York.—Ministers of fifteen churches, members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, at its regular meeting for August, adopted the following resolutions condemning mob rule in the south and with special reference to the recent lynching of Will. Stanley at Temple, Tex. The resolutions follow: Whereas, We have observed from the columns of the New York daily papers another unlawful, inhuman and foulish crime committed by the white citizens composed of men, women and children in unlawful taking away from the officers of the law, as prisoner, a colored man by the name of Will Stanley, charged with thereby defeating the ends of the court of justice in its mission and the unlawful taking of human life in the most savage way known, thereby robbing the prisoner and thereby defeating the ends of the constitution of this country; and Whereas, We believe that this and other similar, unlawful and inhuman acts of progress of Christian civilization in this age and country; and Whereas, We as law as believer citizens positively and unreservedly condemn crime or may be committed regardless of race, or color, and while in years gone by we have looked to our white friends who professed religion, we are pulled with regret to any that our hopes have utterly failed, and now we conclude "our only hope is in God," we now conclude "we must shoot blot our civilization and places our Christianity into ill repute. However, we still believe some way or other that it is our bound duty to every battlefield and in every war. Not only that, we have proved our loyalty and loyalty by pouring out our life's blood on every battlefield and in every war. Not only that, we have been called upon to render from the time our forefathers landed here until now, and we are as willing now to do so every battlefield and in every war. Not only that, we have been called upon to render confidently that the majority of the people of this country are willing to accord to us those rights guaranteed to us by the constitution, and that is all we ask and all we Therefore, Do I resolved, that we, as members of the Baptist Church Union of Greater New York, pastor of fifteen regiment churches, do in general mass meeting assembly and unanimously agree to petition to the chief executive of the nation, Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the president of the nation, and impartial judgment we believe and in whose Christian principles we have faith, asking that he will use his interest in behalf of the millions of defense workers and impartial judgment of just that class of people who unlawfully took from the officers Will Stanley, who was burned, and shot to death in the public square at Temple, Tex.

SOUTHERN SCHOOL GROWS RAPIDLY SUPPORTED BY THE STATE. Greater Opportunity For Advancement Afforded Our Youth at Agricultural and Mechanical State University by its Removal to Rural Community. Baton Rouge, La.-All through the south young people are taking advantage of the opportunities offered them to get an education, and every year bright young men and women are being turned out from the various schools of the country. Not only are the private schools well attended, but the state schools as well. The state of Louisiana is now reorganizing Southern University and A. and M. college, a state school for colored people, with opportunities equal to those of any other state. This institution was first located in New Orleans, where it stood for about thirty-four years, administering largely to the needs of the people of that city. The legislature felt that the school was not serving its greatest purpose. Therefore a bill was passed two years ago moving the school from New Orleans to a country site five PROFESSOR J. B. CLARK. miles north of Baton Rouge. Ten months ago this institution threw open its doors for the reception of students. At that time the school was opened in temporary buildings, and the classrooms, workshops and even dormitories were nothing more than plantation houses. But these houses have given way to several splendid brick buildings, completed in modern style and well furnished. The Administration building, a three story brick, was erected at a cost of $25,000. This is one of the most modern school buildings in the state of Louisiana. The institution has its own 'power plant and its own artisanal well. Eight buildings, including the president's home, temporary dung hall, shops and others, have been erected or renovated in the past ten months. The institution had 252 pupils the past term. The courses of study are college, teachers' training, commercial, including printing, domestic art, domestic science, blacksmithing, including horse-shoeing and wheelwrighting; carpentry, including thinsmithing; brick masonry, broom and mattress making; agriculture, including dairying and stock raiding. Professor J. S. Clark, who stands at the head of this institution, is one of the sons of Louisiana and is considered one of the best trained men as well as one of the best school managers in the state. He is a close observer, quick thinker and exact in business. He knows how to deal with the school's situation. He is the first member of our race elected to the presidency of this school. He has done more in the way of building up a great institution for Louisiana, interesting the white friends to give money, than any of his predecessors. Notwithstanding the appropriation for the institution last year was only $35,000. President Clark has rightly maneuvered and honestly talked to his board, the governor and the state superintendent so that these people have seen the necessity of supplementing this sum so as to make for Louisiana a threefold yield to the legislature's appropriation. He stands well among the people of his state, and there is no colored man, in all Louisiana who is more highly respected than the president of Southern university. He is reliable in every way. Perhaps this is the secret of the rapid growth of Southern university. Professor Clark pays his teachers for every month in the year. Well known all over the country as he is and recognized by all school men, he is determined to make Southern university one of the best state schools for colored people in the south. He is a man that can stand up and do the right, not only because he is well trained, clean and upright in his character, but he has managed to so live and conduct himself that he has some of the world's goods to his credit. He may be considered from an intellectual, moral and financial point to be the right man to head a great institution like Southern university is destined to be.

SLAIN MAN WAS BORN IN BUCKEYE STATE Murder Is Witnessed by No One Except Those Who Fired the Fatal "Providence, R. I.—Justice Willis S. Knowles of the eighth judicial district was assassinated just after he had left his bungalow in North Scituate to take a trolley car for Providence. He received three bullet wounds, two in the back and one in the jaw. The attack occurred about a hundred yards from the house and apparently the shots came from bushes that lined the village road leading to the car line. After having been wounded at least once, the justice turned back and nearly regained the gate opening into his place when he fell dead. The murder was witnessed by no one except the assassins, who escaped. Later the police detained two men on suspicion. They are Italian laborers, and, according to the police, one of them carried a loaded revolver. The body was found by Knowles housekeeper, Mrs. Wardell, who had run from the house when she heard the shots fired. As she reached the lawn she says she heard a man's voice, with a foreign 'accent, cry' "I've got you!" She saw no one, but thought the voice came from the shrubbery. Justice Knowles was 48 years of age and unmarried. His legal residence was at Cranston, but he occupied the bungalow at North Scituate this summer. His office was in Providence. Police are proceeding on the theory he was killed in revenge by some littigant against whom he gave a decision. His circuit was made up of the city of Cranston and the towns of Johnston, Foster and Scituate, in each of which he held court once a week. According to police, he complained recently of conditions under which a saloon, a short distance from his bungalow, was conducted. In recent years there have been many arrests in North Siculate of alleged promoters of cock fighting. Justice Knowles was born in Hockingport, Athens county, Ohio. He entered Ohio university and studied three years there. In 1890 he removed to Boston, coming here three years later. In 1908 he was elected to the bench. The justice had planned to leave for a visit of a month at his birthplace. Friends of Judge Knowles told police he said recently he was making many enemies because of his activity in forming an organization to conduct a campaign against violators of the fish and game laws. Upon this information police began a search for a man whom the Justice is alleged to have described as having become embittered toward him in this connection. Application for a charter for the society was to have been made next week. The police subsequently exonerated the two Italians detained. They are now looking up a man who was once taken into custody at the instigation of Justice Knowles, who alleged that the man had threatened his life. Dies in Elevator Fire. Newport News, Va.—William Butler, a watchman, was trapped on the top floor of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad's grain elevator which was destroyed by fire at night, and was burned to death. Nearly 500,000 bushels of wheat were in the elevator. Other property destroyed included the Newport News offices of the United States Shipping Co. and the Holland-American Line. Grain plier No. 5 was damaged. Two other piers and three steamships were threatened. IN HONOR OF BESTIALITY HESPERIAN DIVES TO OCEAN GRAVE Vessel Torpedoed by German Submarine Sinks When Almost in Sight of Land. TWENTY-SIX. LIVES- ARE BLOTTED. OUT Captain of Destroyed Steamship Declares Boat Was Attacked Without Moment's Warning—Washington Suspends Judgment. London, England—The Allan line steamship Hesperian, torpedoed off the south coast of Ireland Saturday night, sank early Monday—when almost within sight of land. Twenty-six persons lost their lives when the liner was fatally wounded on her westward voyage. They included one first-class, six second-class and six third-class passengers and 13 members of the crew. This statement was issued by the Allan line after a revision of the lists. Capt. W. I. Main and the members of the crew, who remained on board the vessel and attempted to bring her to port, were removed safely, before she sank and arrived at Queenstown in the afternoon. The German torpedo was fired against his vessel without a moment's warning, according to Capt. Main. He refused to be interviewed until after his full report had been made to the Allan line officials. All through the night as she was being towed to port the Hesperian sank steadily by the head until 6:47 o'clock Monday-morning she plunged to her grave. Capt. Main, on the bridge, forsaw that the ship was doomed and signalled the convoy ships, which quickly transferred him and his men to safety. Relative to reports said to have been sent to the United States that the Hesperian was armed, it was authoritatively stated here that she carried no guns, either for offense or defense, and that she posed no menace under international rules of warfare as acknowledged by the American government. Fears Twenty Are Lost. Wesley Frost, American consul at Queenstown, reported to the American embassy early in the afternoon that he feared 20 persons were lost. At the same time the Allan line agent at that port issued a statement that one first-class, six second-class and six third-class passengers remained to be accounted for, besides 13 members of the crew. Maj. Kersey, manager of ocean traffic for the Canadian Pacific Railroad Co. said: "It is likely that 12 of the passengers have been lost, as well as a number of the crew." This official expressed the belief that all would have been saved but for the capsizing of one of the lifeboats when its falls jammed as it was being lowered in the dark. So far consular and Allan line investigators have failed to find anyone but the ship's lookout, who can state positively that they saw either the submarine or the torpedo. The sailor says he recognized the threat. The sea boat just before the torpedo struck and shouted the warning to the bridge: "Submarine on the starboard quarter!" Passengers and ship's officers, almost without exception, corroborate Capt. Main's statement that the liner was torpedoed and that no warning was given. Additional support is given this assertion by the report that a sailing vessel, as yet unidentified, was torpedoed nearby at about the same time. Aboard the Hesperian were 3,545 bags of mail, many of which were for the United States: Some of the mails originated in neutral countries. There also were 559 receptacles containing parcel mail for Canada. Washington Suspends Judgment. Washington, D. U.—The White House and state department have suspended judgment on the sinking of the Allan submarine, pending the receipt of definite information as to the circumstances. It has been announced that this government will take no action till all the facts are at hand. The same course was followed in all other cases growing out of the German submarine activities. The undercurrent of official suggestion is that, if it be shown that the Hesperian was torpeded without warning and that she was not trying to escape, only prompt disavowal by Germany will avert the most serious of all the diplomatic crises between the United States and Germany. The seriousness of the Hesperian case is emphasized by the fact that the United States absolutely refused to discuss the Luistania case till satisfactory explanation had been made of the sinking of the Arabic, although only two American lives were lost by the destruction of that vessel. Bellefontaine, O. — Thornton W. Mitchell, aged 45, cashier of the City bank, Lima, was killed at Lakeview when he was run over by two automobiles. Mr. Mitchell had walked into the country near Lakeview to look at a farm he planned to buy. On his way back he stood at the side of the road to allow two automobiles going in opposite directions to pass. A small car driven by Postmaster Emil Davis of Lakeview struck Mr. Mitchell and hurled him in front of a big car.

Monday Is “Ohio Day” at the Tl nois Half Century (Lincoln.

Democratic national legisla. tion, which reduced the output of the factories 30 to 50 per cent, has, nec- essarily, made hard times for millions ot our people. A few years ago the south was con- tinually howling against northern newspapers and persons, who dared to refer to the miserable treatment of ‘our people in that section, and. so vig- ‘orously accused them of “waving the Dloody shirt” that the discussion was practically stopped. Now comes that ‘very section, through representatives here fn the north, with most miserable photoplays like “The Birth of a Na- tion,” waving the “bloody shirt” until they are all but wearing out and off its tails, And hardly a word is being ‘said against this by the northern press and people.

WILLIS IS RIGHT, AS USUAL, Published reports of a break be- tween Gov. Frank B. Willis and the state board of administration will not cause a panic in Ohio. If the board desires to quarrel with the governor Decause he tells the head of some state institution that his place is de- ‘sired for a Republican, let it quarrel, and there will be founda way to re- jorganize the board. ‘The specific case involved is that of General Burnett, commandant of the Soldiers’ and Sail- ors’ home, at Sandusky.

Brown, of Zanesville, will secure this place when the vacancy is created. Nothing could be more fitting. Gen. Brown made the sacrificial race for governor in 1912, when every Repub- Tiean in Ohio knew it to be a hopeless undertaking, and he is highly deserv- ing of the recognition. Moreover, Gen, Brown is @ former commander of the Grand Army, a veteran news- paper man, and served for many years 6n the board of trustees which man- aged the affairs of the home, for the honor of serving. It ts fitting and worth while to ask a resignation to make a place for a veteran like Gen.

Burnett to vacate, was a member of the board of man- agers of the home (who get no pay) for twelve years, being succeeded by Gen. J. W. Cline, who subsequently was made commandant in 1899. In 1904 Gov. Harmon asked and got Cline’s resignation and gave the place to Burnett. Now Gen. Burnett wishes to retire and Gov. Willis wants Gen. Brown, who has been the head of the G. A. R. in Ohio and the most effective worker for soldiers’ pensions, to man- age the soldiers’ home, and Gen. Brown will do so. Mark our predic- tion! “THE BIRTH OF A NATION.” George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., Ap ' propriately Denounces It. Chicago, Il.—George H. Thomas Post, this city, appointed a committee to investigate the play “The Birth of a Nation,” The report, which gives well- deserved censure, was unanimously adopted and sent to department head- quarters. It reads: “The play is a remarkable work of art, but is meant to reproduce in sub- stance the book of Thomas Dixon, en- titled, ‘The Clansman,’ whose chief purpose is to, glorify the cause of se- cession, create and intensify hatred against the Negro and make It appear that the infamous Ku-Klux-Klan was ‘an organization of chivalrous white men, to defend the people. “th the moving picture show there fs-one scene that represents a com- pany of United States soldiers in uni- form, commanded by a white officer, in possession of a town, shooting and burning and acting like fiends. His: tory does not record a single instance of the kind. It is a base slander on the men who wore the blue, The Ne- groes represented in the picture are Jown-lown criminals, and totally de- based. To people ignorant of the facts they make the impression that Colored people are a depraved and ¢riminal race governed only by brutal lusts. It has no suggestion as to the great advance made by the Negroes since emancipation, in religion, educa- tion, in property and usefulness as citizens, “The main point of the play seems to be to show that as to slavery and fecession the south was altogether right, and that in the civil war and reconstruction the men who defended the Union were wholly wrong. The Whole influence of the exhibition is to ‘excite sectional feeling and bitterness, ‘and its representations are utterly false to history. “We recommend the adoption of the following resolution: “The George H. Thomas Post, No. 5, Department of Iilinofs, G. A. R., pro- tests against the exhibition called “The Birth of a Nation.’ “First—Because it contains slander- ous representations as to the soldiers who fought to preserve the Union and earientures the history of the war. “Second—It represents the infa- ‘mous Ku-Klux-Klan as @ society of pa- triotic chivalrous men. “Third—Its whole influence is to ex- cite and intensify hatred of the Negro Tace and perpetuate sectional bitter- ness.

Last year, when The Gazette an- nounced to our people of the Eleventh ward, this city, that it intended to haye'a street cut through trom Cen- tral Ay. to Cedar Av., between B. 220 St. and E. 28th St, in the face of the many failures of efforts, projected by various members of the race, for ev- eral 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, Director Coughlin and Mr. FitzGerald. When Director Sidlo saw the fore- going in a recent issue of “the old re- liable” Gazette, he wrote the editor a very nice letter of thanks for the de served reference to him it contains. To this the editor of The Gazette re- plied, and incidentally called his at- tention to the present sad condition of the new street—E. 25th, between Central and Cedar Avenues, and asked that it be improved. The following is Director Sidio's very satistactory re- ply: Hon. Harry C. Smith, Proprietor, The Gazette, Blackstone Building, City. Dear Mr. Smith:—I have your kind acknowledgment of Sept. 4th, and shall endeavor to have E. 25th Street, from Central Ave. to Cedar Ave, placed in a more passable condition. Mr. W. S.

Mr. Frank D. Brown and Mrs. Mary Oliver were quietly married, the first of the week. Both are well and favorably known to the older residents of this city, among whom they have many warm friends, all of whom, including The Gazette, wish them a long, happy and successful married life. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have both been married before and therefore "know the way." A large and appreciative audience attended the concert of the Tuskegee singers at St. John's church, Monday evening. The program was of rare quality and rendered with credit by the young students. They left for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Wednesday, expecting to reach Camden, N.

We should all be there to learn all we can about the Foundation. Several years ago our local clerk were vily cursed in a county convention in the hearing of Rev. H. C.

Minister Accused of Being Too Boisterous. Philadelphia, Pa—Rev. Emory M. Watson of the A. M. E. church, Thompson St., this city, who was in fall awaiting a further hearing before Magistrate Call on a charge of leading a boisterous congregation in a disorderly manner, Aug. 18 by Judge Davis in nabeas corpus proceedings. "What's the complaint against this man?" inquired Judge Davis, somewhat puzzled to find a colored minister before him, charged with conducting a disorderly house. "Too much enthusiasm and nerve-racking shrirls from the pulpit," explained Assistant District Attorney Speiser. "When do you hold your services?" asked the judge. "From 7 to 10, three times a week, your honor," spoke up the minister. "These hot nights?" "Yes, sir," replied the minister proudly. "You go back to your congregation and tell them to modify their voices not to be fanatical." Reese in judge "Explain to them that they must not be fanatical, and put a note of calmness in your own voice from the pulpit." "Yes, sir," and the minister started from the court room. "And don't forget to close the windows before you preach," was the parting injunction of the court. Kenneth Rogers, a fine lad, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Rogers of Central Ave., died, Sunday night, after a brief illness. Tuberculosis. The young man was generally liked by the community, later in the general Wednesday, from St. John A. M. E. church.

Reynolds, professor of history andumar in the Kansas City, Kansas high school cipicals. Rev. Charles Bundy performed the ceremony. Miss Hazel Lucas of Chillicothe and Mrs. Cora J. Jackson of Richmond, Ind., were bridesmaids; Mrs. Inez Fairax, matron of honor; Miss Bertha J. Blue, maid of honor; Mr. Sterling McElwaine of Indianapolis, best man; George Hinton, Elmer Okeefe of Ocala Johnson, usher, and little Marie Fields. The house was tastefully decorated and the presents were numerous, expensive and useful. Receptions were held afternoon and evening to accommodate the large number of friends of the couple. The bride was active in St. John's S. S. and several women chas, including the Milmera Reading and Mary Reynolds will be at home at $35 Nebraska Ave., Kansas City, Kan., after Sept. 15. The St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal says: "The fact that three Jews have bought the rights for the state of Massachusetts for the production of 'The Birth of the Nation', the infamous and false film, and that Jewish capitalists are exploiting the photo-play all over the country, should cause our people to see that many of their most bitter enemies are Jews. A Jewish attorney general was responsible for the Mary land disfranchisement law recently declared unconstitutional. A Jewish senator and a Jewish congressman have been accused of rudeness against the race. In many localities Jews aided the passage of the segregation laws. A Jew worth millions is giving thousands of dollars to aid in the establishment of 'jimcrow' Y. M. C. A. s., and is actually aiding the alleged Christians in their efforts to segregate their believers of darker hue. All this is queer work for a people who have been oppressed for thousands of years and who are still marginalized. All Jews are not enemies of the colored people, but those who have power and money seem to take a special delight in striking the colored man and also—gathering in the coin." Don't be a "nigger." Don't dub other people as "niggers." You don't know what it means—and nobody else. Those who use it are about as near a definition for it as we can conceive. The white man who uses it is about as much a "nigger" as the "nigger" he "niggers." See? And a Negro who "niggers" a Negro is less than a white man who "niggers" a Negro, because the Negro is "niggering" his own. Whatever estimate you piece upon, the Negro is in the habit of valuing things above market price, and market prices are generally placed upon goods in proportion as needed. Again, large, showy apples bring better prices than small ones, however good the little ones may be. So there is something in appearance. People want good-looking things. Put a proper estimate upon yourself. Be a high-priced article. If "nigger" brand is supposed to be inferior, do away with it yourself and that will help others away. You can't be away more than what you are, know, and what you are to a more extent is in your hands unless you're in jail. Let's cut out "nigger," whatever that is. If you don't do it—listen—you're a "nigger"—whatever that is. See us? Hope so.—Nashville News. "THE OLD RELIABLE." Detroit, Mich., Aug. 28, '15.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Rev. Emory M. Watson of the A. M. E. church, Thompson St., this city, who was in jail awaiting a further hearing before Magistrate Call on a charge of leading a boisterous congregation in a disorderly manner, was freed, Aug. 9, by Judge Davis in habeas corpus proceedings. “What’s the complaint against this man?” inquired Judge Davis, somewhat puzzled to find a Colored minister before him, charged with conducting a disorderly house. The much criticized and nerve-racking shrieks from the pulpit, “explained Assistant District Attorney Speiser. “When do you hold your services?” asked the judge. “From 7 to 10, three times a week, your honor,” spoke up the minister. “These hot nights?” “Yes, sir,” replied the minister proudly. “你 go back to your congregation and tell them to modify their voices and not get too zealous,” said the judge. “Explain to them that they must not be fanatical, and put a note of calmness in your own voice from the pulpit.” “Yes, sir,” and the minister started from the court room. “And you must close the windows before you preach.” was the parting injunction of the court. TEXAS' ATROCITIES A terrible crime in Temple, Tex., has just been followed by one still more atrocious. Neither crime is a stranger to the district of the south in 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 occur among any other people. The American south. This fact is the darkest stain on the good name of America. It burns red across the world. Wherever news travels, the horror of Temple, Tex., will be known, as the horror years ago of Paris, Tex., was known. The murder or ravishing of women is an offense that stirs emotions deeper, perhaps, than any other in our nature. That justice should follow swiftly and terrible is right. But what followed in Temple, and what has followed too often in the south, is an offense more heinous, more insulting, more in its influence than that which it was assumed 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 disgraced by it, and the south and the United States. All America suffers from it, as any one knows who has recalled or heard the frequent reference to the inhuman design books, in the mouths of men and women famous or obscure. It is one of the outstanding phenomena of American society, a reproach against our social intelligence, our respect for law or justice, our humanity, our self-control. Against the noble rhetoric of our leaders, the enlightenment of our aims, the reality of our institutions, the reality of our reasoning and unrestrained animalism, the inous and unescapable. How can Texas, a proud commonwealth, how can America, with any shadow of self-respect, permit this crime to go on as it has, year by year, until it is advertised the world over as an American institution? Is Texas so unable to cope with the dregs of its own people that it must permit this unspeakable crime against America again and again? Is Texas unwilling to cope with it by legislation or by efficient police administration? Other communities have in their care subject or backward races or classes. They do not tolerate such outbreaks of the abmal brute. What has Texas done to protect her women better and to protect herself better? What is she going to do? A European of distinction recently remarked to an American traveler: "Is it possible that these communities think of the offense against your women better and to protect herself better? How else can a civilized people permit these burnings and lynchings to occur?" It was a terrible indictment. How are we to face it? But, more important still, how are we to face our own conscience, our own self-respect while this "American institution" endures? -Chicago Daily Tribune Editorial, Aug. 3, 1915. The following is Texas' and the south's answer to the foregoing: TEXAS MOB BURNS MEN AT STAKE IN PARK. Sulphur Springs, Tex., Aug. 30.—Buford park here today was cleared of the evidences of yesterday's "holiday" when a crowd recruited from this city and the surrounding country watched the burning at the stake of a Negro and the cremation in the same fire of the body of his brother, who was killed in a fire and had killed a deputy sheriff and fatally wounded Sheriff Butler. They were captured by a posse, one of them dying of bullet wounds. The Tribune's editorial, republished above, is excellent with the one exception of the impression that it gives forth that lynch-murders in the south are the result of "offenses against women" when, as a matter of fact, this is not even charged against ten per cent of the unfortunate lynch-murdered, hardly one of whom is ever given even a semblance of a trial. The Leo M. Frank lynch-murder is another answer to the Tribune's questions in its splendid editorial; and there have been at least a half dozen others since its publication on August 3 of this year. A U. S. Supreme Court decision, several years ago, made it plain that lynch-murder cannot be reached by federal legislation, but that it is a matter for the individual state to handle. This makes it clear that the sentiment favoring it must be changed before it is to be stopped even to a minimum degree. Ohio took the lead in this, nineteen years ago, when it enacted into law our Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching bill, and Illinois followed, some years later, when it did the same thing, enacting substantially the same law. These two are the only states in the union to have effective anti-lynch-murder laws. O, that boasted American (U. S.) civilization!

WINBUSH 2192 E. 35th St. Prospect 1043-J AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Exhibits of the handwork of 2,000:000 colored school children in all parts of America form part of the Lincoln jubilee exhibit in the Coliseum, Chicago. One of the leading exhibits is that of Wilberforce university, the oldest colored institution in America, and a school where students are taught everything from Latin to making plowshares. Another school which has a well-arranged exhibit is Howard university of Washington, D.C., while the instruction given to Negro students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing is well displayed in the exhibit of Meharry medical college of Nashville, Teen. Chicago is not neglected, for there are 15 boys and a like number of girls, about sixteen years old, who are demonstrating the training in the manual arts and domestic science courses which is given in the local public schools. The Chicago display is under the direction of A. J. Brinkman of the Hendricks school and Mies Eileen Gerty of the Mitchell school. Wilberforce university is near Xenia, O., and is in the direct line taken in the middle of the last century by slaves escaping from their southern bondage. The archives of the school are filled with thrilling incidents of the escape of slaves, some of whom had the temerity to stop and attempt to secure an education at Wilberforce. The university was founded by the Methodist Episcopal church, and Dr. Rust of the Freedmen's Ald was its first president. When the war broke out, communication with the South was cut off and the Methodist church wished to sell the property. A brewery offered to buy it, but the offer was turned down and finally it was bought by Dr. Daniel A. Paine, a prominent colored man, and control of the institution passed to the African M. E. church. Now the school is well established financially and annual sums are appropriated by the Ohio legislature for its support. Last year the appropriation was $55,000. There are now 500 students, ranging in age from fourteen years upward. The exhibit includes a plew which was made by a student, examples of cabinet work in the line of bookcases, chairs and other furniture. Howard university at Washington, D. C., is represented through a number of photographs showing the students in various phases of their collegiate work. Howard university was founded by Gen. O. O. Howard, who was supported by Harriett Beecher Stowe, Henry Ward Beecker, Stephen A. Douglas and other noted Americans of the Civil war days. The work of the Catholic church is shown through the exhibit of five orders of nuns, the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the Sisters of the Holy Family, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the Techny Sisters and the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The first two sisterhoods named are exclusively for colored women. Much has been said of what Booker T. Washington is doing for the Negro. So much has been said that was good of his influence, and so much that was bad, that we have hesitated between the right and the wrong of it. writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. We have sometimes come in contact through our domestic service with an element of arrogance, impudence and Of the total number of 7,317,922 Negroes ten years of age and over, enumerated in 1910, 5,192,535, or 71 per cent, were reported as gainfully employed, the percentages for males and females being 87.4 and 54.7 respectively. The corresponding percentages for native whites were 77.9 and 19.2. Of the gainfully employed Negro males, 30.9 per cent—almost one-third—were farm laborers, and 25 per cent were farmers. The other leading occupation groups for Negro males, with the percentage of the total represented by each, were as follows: Laborers, building and hand trades, 5.2; laborers, saw and planning mills, 2.9; laborers, steam railroad, 2.7; porters, except in stores, 1.6; draymen, teamsters and expressmen, 1.6; coal mine operatives, 1.2; laborers, porters and helpers in stores, 1.2; waiters, 1.1; laborers, road and street building and repairing, 1.1; cooks, 1.0; deliverymen, stores, 1.0; carpenters, 1.0. For females, the leading capacities in which employed, with the percentage represented by each, were as follows: Farm laborers, 48.1; laundresses (not in laundry), 17.9; cooks, 10.2. In response to the advertisement of the United States navy department for 1,500,000 decking logs, a Mauilla lumber firm has submitted an offer of 500,000 feet of yacal, a Philippine wood resembling teak, which is regarded as the equal of teak for construction purposes. This is the first time that such offers of Philippine woods have been made to the navy. It all depends. If you are not interested in golf it is a bore. If you are it is a disease.

These have prejudiced us against an attempt to educate the Negro. Again, we have members of the race living among us giving good, intelligent, unpretentious service, striving quietly for right, and working capably in their line of industry. This is because we do not know, have not actually seen what is being done for the Negro, with Alabama as the working center. A week ago I left Birmingham for Tuskegee, reaching there the afternoon of the same day. Arriving at the depot at about two o'clock, I was driven through the quaint little town, with its huge shade trees and colonial homes, to the Tuskegee Normal institute. From the moment I entered the grounds I saw the result of a wonderful industry—a small city laid off in streets, with parks, blooming plants and graveled driveways. The center, the school plant and its workshops, with a circular border of well-kept homes, the homes of the teachers. At a distance a beautiful view of growing fields and meadows with stock grazing leisurely along. Amazed does not express my impression at first, and astonishment never ceased in my rounds. All of the route from Montgomery along the way I had noticed the same old plantation shanty, the wash pot and the half red dog, I could never have imagined such a transformation from existence to comfort, from idleness to work, could have taken place within so few miles of one to the other. The story reads like a fable. In 1881, 34 years ago, there was a political campaign on in Macon county. The Negro had a voice in the elections. As a reward for political service a promise was fulfilled to the leader of the Negro voters—"that a good teacher would be furnished to the Negroes of Tuskegee." Booker T. Washington was the fulfillment of that promise—a political product that has worked well. He had been educated at Hampton, Va., and came in response to the demand for a teacher—thus the Negro race came to be in possession of a leader whose influence" has been felt over the world, and whose executive ability has built a city of his own out of the barren fields in Macon county. Land was purchased at $1 an acre; then that has price today. Gradually the school property has increased in acreage until it numbers 2,300 acres now, with 1,500 under cultivation. Already there are 38 handsome buildings of brick, dormitories, study halls, dining hall, a Carnegie library with a circulation of 4,000 books, a hospital recently built and equipped at the cost of $55,000; an electric plant at a cost of $300,000 has just been finished. These bear the names of the philanthropists who have made them possible. All of the labor has been done by the student body of the school—even the brick are made on the premises. This is a wonderful workshop from gateway to field. It would take one a week to see the industry that is under process of creation along all lines; and a book to enumerate all I thought and half that I saw. The entire work of shop and field is done by the student body, thus the expense of procuring the advantages offered by the school is very much reduced to the pupil. farmers, 3.9; dressmakers and seamstresses (not in factory), 1.9; school teachers, 1.1. Statistics compiled by the National Negro Business league show that in the fifteen years of the organization's existence the value of farm property in this country owned by Negroes has increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. That is a truly remarkable record of race progress in thrift and in the agricultural pursuits which it has latterly been the fashion to encourage. The Negro at least is setting an excellent example in "getting back to the land."—New York World. A Springfield (Mo.) man took out homestead papers the other day on an 80-acre tract of land 100 miles from that city. Before applying at the land office for the papers he walked the entire distance and back in order to visit the property. When he got back he had just enough money to pay for the land and cover the necessary fees. You can never tell what a woman thinks by what she says. People generally speak well of Hobe Fisher, who is a hopeless inefficient and who has been a burden on his wife's people ever since he was married. But they bitterly attack Samuel Plympton, who is rich and influential and one of the fairest men in town. Medical men say that persons who attain their thirtieth year without suffering from any serious disease are likely—all things being equal—to live till they are at least seventy-eight years of age. When it comes to combing a customer's hair, the barber does his best. But that is all that can be said for the job. In a small town most of the scorn and contumely is directed toward the man who wears white flannel trousers. But a little of it is saved for the man who beats his wife. Some women are born beautiful and others have beauty thrust upon them by the society reporter who writes up the wedding. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1915. SUITABLE FOR HOLDING THE SEWING MATERIALS May Easily be Made From a Cardboard Box—Pockets on Two Sides Furnish Additional Accommodations for the Sewer. Work baskets suitable for holding sewing materials for porch or lawn use can be made at home from a short remnant of cretonne or art ticking. Half a yard will be ample if one must buy goods. In all probability there will be scraps available for the purpose on hand. The foundation of the sewing basket is a cardboard box about nine inches square and three or four inches high. These can be had for the asking at any small dry goods store. The outside is entirely covered with the chosen material, carefully pasting it down, and then the same is done upon the inside, but not necessarily with the same goods. The basket is fitted upon the sides with pockets drawn up on marring elastic to hold thread, thimble and other odds and ends, while little bobster-like pincushions are sewed to the opposite sides. Lastly a high handle about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide is cut from strong cardboard and covered with the cretonna. A couple of good paper fasteners will secure the handle to the basket. If the handle is made quite high it will conveniently carry over the arm. The sewing on hand can be folded and placed in the bottom of the basket. This is a very dainty affair even though it is home made and should add to the attractive picture a pretty girl always makes when occupied in sewing. More prosaic, but just as useful, is the sewing bag of cretonne. This is just an ordinary bag made any desired size, but instead of finishing the top with a drawstring, it is hemmed over an oval embroidery hoop. This kind of bag is convenient in that it can be rolled up or twisted around with out injury. A thick cord makes the best kind of handles, if any at all are thought necessary. To my thinking this style of bag is good for soiled linen; the mouth being large makes it much more con- venient for use than the drawstring. The bottom of the bag should be left open and one side cut longer than the other, say about six inches on so. This flap is hemmed and worked with four buttonholes to correspond with four buttons sewed to the bag. To empty the contents release the buttons. All children love bright colors, and any one of them will appreciate a school bag of pretty cretonne. This is a suggestion for using up an old piece on hand. Make the bag in envelope shape, binding all the edges close with button and loop. Instead of sewing handles to the bag, which the weight of the books may pull out, buy a 5-cent pair of small leather straps and catch in place at the bottom of the bag through loops, just to keep them from becoming mislaid. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS Small Things of Dress Are What Give Perfection to the Costume as It seems superfluous to say that the perfection of the details in dress make for its complete success more than the more dress itself. Yet it must be owned that many forget this, and it is not unusual to see a pretty, well-dressed woman fail to look at her best because her shoes, her gloves or the dressing of her hair are not what they might have been. Even in these days, when no one cares much about clothes, personal appearance has to count, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Paris is filled with women dressed in navy blue. The amazing thing is that the people do not get tired of it. it is to the wardrobe what bread is to the larder. Its possibilities for complete downdiness and unequaled smartness have no limit. It can be the most correct thing in the world and one of the most incorrect. You see a woman of irreproachable distinction in a blue tailor-made, and you see a young person in something very like it and the effect is entirely different. Both can be quite nice to look at, and which you like best depends upon your point of view, like most other things. TRAYCLOTH TO MATCH DISHES Tea Set of Japanese Design Must Have Appropriate Fittings to Secure the Best Results. If you have a tea set decorated with a Japanese design, don't fail to get a tracloth on which realistic Japanese birds and trees are stamped. Embroider the design in loose darning stitches, combining black and blue materials. By securing a pattern which is tinted you will have less work to do and the result will be just as satisfactory. Since tea cozies are very much in prominence, it would be advisable for you to make one for your china teapot, being sure to have the birds and trees stamped upon the cozy. Should you be unable to secure a cozy on which the Japanese design is stamped you may find two dollies bearing the design desired. In this case you can easily make a cozy from the two dollies by joining them together, allowing them to remain unattached for sufficient distance, so that the cozy can be easily slipped over the teapot.

Pretty and inexpensive rugs can be made for bathrooms and also bed rooms from old percale dresses that have no further use as wearing apparel. The pretty blues and pinks make the most attractive rugs. The only expense is to purchase a wooden needle. Mine is ten inches long and thicker than a lead pencil. The rugs should be cut and not torn to avoid the thread hanging. They should be cut three-quarters of an inch wide and sewed together just as rugs for an old-fashioned rag carpet. Crochet a chain of several stitches and make in this way a center, and then knit around and around, throwing your thread (which is the rag) over before putting the needle through the chain. You must put in two stitches to keep it from drawing up like a poke. Put your needle through the back part of the stitch and use your taste in knitting the colors and finish with an edge like an old-fashioned tidy BEST KIND OF TABLE COVER In This. Housewife May Find a Solution of Something That Has Been a Trouble to Her. If you are like most housekeepers, you have a number of little tables about the house which are always needing clean covers. Usually, one doesn't like to use embroidered centerpieces and dolllies for the purpose, for these little tables are more than likely used as stands for plants or are little catch-alls which make them rather trying household children to keep clean. An excellent solution in the way of little table dresses is the plain linen cover ornamented with a colored edge. Natural colored, oyster or white linen may be used or even gray linen (all depending upon the use of the little table), and then the edge is bound with linen or heavy muslin of any color that you prefer. The binding, when completed, is an inch in width and sometimes more. Guard against colored materials that are inclined to run, and also exercise a reasonable amount of care in the washing, for no matter how unimportant a little table may be its dress shouldn't be streaked. A new idea for the summer girl was introduced at a shore resort the other evening by a young woman丹cer, who had butterfly flounders of plaited lace attached to the back of her silk stockings and to the inside of her wide skirt. These plaited flounders extended and folded after the manner of an accordion at each step, and suggested a modern winged victory of feminine persuasion. A Little Less Darning to Do. Paste pieces of velvet, soft side up, into the heels of your shoes, bottom and back, and you will find your stocking darning reduced by a big per cent.—Woman's World. course, a padding of asbestos must be slipped into the home-made cozy. Be sure to keep this fact in mind when selecting dolls, so that they will be sufficiently large. Evening Frock. A charming but simple evening frock in made of soft satin, with no other trimming than bands and fringe of crystal. A high empire waist line is formed by several rows of shirring, and the waist is filled in at the square neck with tulle, accompanied by short tulle sleeves headed by a band of the tulle going over the shoulder with a tiny cap of lace caught up in the center of the arm. A long tunic edged with the crystal trimming falls over a full flounce shirred on to the lining at about the knee. In black with jet, this evening frock is very smart, as it is also in flesh, robin's-egg blue or a deep gold. To Make Lace Yokes Like New. Apply a white paste such as is used for cleaning white shoes. Rub the paste on smoothly, let it dry and then brush it off. TURN TO THE PANNIER FRENCH MODISTES TAKE UP THE NEW STYLE. Old Fashion Revived and In Pronounced Form—Has Much to Recommend It from the Point of Beauty. At the Newport fashion show as well as at the openings in Paris, there was an undoubted preference shown to the pannier. Lucille has advocated it for six months and will continue to do so, as her new and wonderfully lovely costumes for Florence Walton have proved. In these she makes the pannier of tulle or gold lace, sometimes wired to stand out, again bunched high in masses of materials. She has also returned to favor the afternoon frock of colored silk with a fuchu of organdle and high loopings of the fabric over the skirt, a kind of Mozartian costume which is quite fetching. Paris has shown an even more pronounced form of the pannier borrowed from Marie Antoinette's day. The skirt of the special frock that has caused much comment has a flounce of blue chiffon edged with velvet ribbon, over which are panniers of flowered yellow taffeta. This fabric extends above the belt to form half of the bodice, the other half being built of chiffon with shoulder straps of blue velvet. Panniers are not exactly the kind of thing that one wears well in the street, but for the evening they are charming. Made of the soft taffeta that will remain fashionable this winter, or in tulle edged with brilliant metal embroidery, they present a pleasing contrast to the type of evening frock that the designers have given us for several seasons. If the fashion for combining laces with satin or flowered silk is actually taken up as it deserves to be, then the pannier will be the most exquisite choice. The materials in juxtaposition of materials in juxtaposition of silk that is embossed with large flowers of A metal will have its place among the evening fabrics and no one wants more than a yard or two of it on a gown. To use it as a pannier or side drapery of some kind will be displaying it to its best advantage over tulle or tea-colored lace. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Hint for Those Who Have an Over supply of Those Always Useful Little Articles. "I have a number of these square crash dollles which I had intended for a luncheon set before I was married," said Mrs. Bride-of-a-Month, "but I have so many luncheon sets now for wedding and shower gifts that I know I will use them if such a shame to see good work going to waste, and I hate little dollles lying promiscuously around under vases and such." "I know just how you feel," interrupted Mrs. Bride-of-a-Year. "I had a half dozen beautiful little squares all embroidered in dull blue crush, but I made use of them. First of all, I joined three of them with rather wide cluny insertion to make a scarf for my blue-and-white guest room dressing table. Then I edged two more with the narrow cluny edging, cut a round hole in the middle and used them as candleshades for the glass candlesticks for the same dressing table, and the sixth made half of a cute little bag that every feminine guest can use when she finds it hanging on her dressing table. I could have used several more pincushions and tray covers and I did have an idea of making four more and joining them together for a boudou pillow. I may do it yet." American Woman Extravagant in the Matter of Expenditure for Her Apparel. Women—and also their husbands—suffer from feminine slavery to fashions that other women wear. We need clothes. We need useful clothes for comfort. We need beautiful clothes to develop and satisfy our love of beauty. But we need to learn how to select clothes that are reasonable in cost, that do not require much time to put on and take off, and that can be worn acceptably as long as the material lasts. American women are more extravagant in the matter of dress than women anywhere else in the world. The "ultra smart" fashions of other countries are worn only by comparatively few women, and the majority do not trouble their heads about them. In this country we are other people far too much. American women seem to lack strength of mind enough to buy what they can afford. They buy what BROADCLOTH SUIT Black chiffon broadcloth suit with cir- cular skirt scalloped at the bottom and plaited around the hips. The jacket is short, coming to the waist, and buttons down the front. High collar opens at the neck. A large butterfly bow is tied in the back. The cuffs are high and plaited, com- ing to a point. Costume for Small Girl That Will Give Very Little Trouble to Her Mother. With finely embroidered flouncings one can turn out, as if by magic, the adorable, tiny confections that make up a tiny girl's wardrobe. The edging does away with the necessity of a hem; it can be tied over the shoulders with ribbons and gathered around the neck so that there are practically but two kinds to be run—the under-arm and a placket at the back, and the dress is made. fections that make up a tiny girl's wardrobe. The edging does away with the necessity of a hem; it can be tied over the shoulders with ribbons and gathered around the neck so that there are practically but two kinds to be run—the underarm and a placket at the back, and the dress is made. I never tried, but I am sure it would not be beyond one's powers to turn out two such little frocks in an afternoon, for they seem no more than doll's clothes. The cunning little design shown here concedes a trifle more to elaboration, for there are many tiny tucks run through the material to hold it in at a high waist line. They should not be more than an inch and a half long, and there are a few others half that length distributed around the top of the dress under the cord that marks the rounded neck. They lie between in the shape of a ruff edge of the embroidery are set around the armholes and caught up on the shoulders with bows of colored ribbon or black vevet. Dotted swiss or plain sheer batistie are both lovely fabrics for this quaint and simple little garment.—Lillian Young in Washington Star. Patch Bag. Now just where do you keep your patches? Do you let them lie in an untidy fashion in a bureau drawer? Do you throw them into the sewing basket with the rest of your sewing materials or do you keep them in a box or bag? Either one of the last two places is the most convenient receptacle for the purpose. The latter can be made of white or tan linen or rep. A very artistic patch bag, seen recently was made of white rep. It was rectangular in shape and its opening was concealed by means of a flap. On the flap were cubist designs which were quite appropriate for the type of bag they adorned. Everything Now to Be Beaded. The woman who wants to have new furs for old will be able to acquire the former by using her ermine, molekin or seal scarf and muff as the foundation for elaborate embroideries done in bead work. in fact, this is the latest fashion mandate from Paris. Everything is to be beaded, from hats to shoes, and even the choiceest furs will not be exempt from the brace craz. Of course, it is not likely that beaded clothing is important but they are interesting as indicating a new departure in modish nets. think is the proper thing to have. Sane thrift is noticeably lacking in America on every side. It is especially lacking in women's dress. Some of the men in America are trying to help us women. They are turning out good values in moderate-priced street clothes, such as the women of no other country can find unless they come to America. But instead of simplifying our wardrobes by making more use of seasonable, sensible, good-looking, economical tailored suits, and less of other styles, we have merely added to our already overcrowded wardrobes.-Good Health. Purple Hats in New York "All New York is in purple hats. The windows, too, are full of them." said an observant woman who returned the first of the week from the metropolis. This sounds very attractive and is a welcome change from the eternal black or blue. Unsteady Price of Tin. The price of tin fluctuates very rapidly and widely. CAP and BELLS EDITOR EXPLAINS AN ERROR Indignant Citizen Objects to Being Called "Greedy Jobber"—Copy Read Plainly "Robber." "See here," yelled the indignant citizen, as he entered the office of the editor of the Daily W.loop. "What do you mean by this article in yesterday's paper? "What is it?" asked the editor. "What is it?" shouted the indignant citizen. "Why, you refer to me as a greedy jobber." "That is too bad," replied the editor. "It is a typographical error, and I am sorry it appeared as it did." "O, very well," answered the indignant citizen. "I accept your apology." "I don't know how that foolotype man came to set the word 'jobber,'" added the editor.
