PAY AT ONCE FOR VICTIMS OF ANCONA Is the Demand Made Upon the Austrian Government by United States. ALL_PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY VIOLATED Secretary of State Calis on Vienna for Immediate Disavowal of the Act and Punishment of the Submarine Commander. Washington, D. C. — "Inhumane and barbarous," "abhorrent to all civilized nations" and "illegal and indefensible act" are expressions used in the note to Austria-Hungary, the text of which was made public Sunday, on the sinking of the Ancona in the Mediterranean Nov. 7. The note, signed by Secretary of State Lansing, demands that the officer of the submarine which perpetrated the deed be punished and that repatriation by the payment of an indemnity be made for the citizens of the United States who were killed or injured by the attack on the vessel. The full text of the note: Department of State Washington, Dec. 6, 1915. Please deliver the text of the letter of foreign affairs textually as follows: Reliable information obtained from American and other survivors who were passengers on the steamship Ancona shot down Nov. 7. The Ancona, the Austro-Hungarian flag fired a solid shot toward the steamship; that thereupon the Ancona attempted to escape, but she stopped; that after a brief period and before the crew and passengers were all able to take to the boats the submarine fired a number of shells at the vessel and many were yet many persons on board, and that by gunfire and foundering of the vessel a large number of persons lost their lives or were seriously injured, among whom were citizens of the United States. The public 'statement of the Austro-Hungarian admiralty has been brought to the attention of the government of the United States, who was forbidden and sidederation. This statement substantially confirms the principal declaration of the survivors, as it admits that the -Ancom, after the war was forbidden and sidederation. This Austro-Hungarian government has been advised, through the correspondence which has passed between the United States and the government of the United States as to the use of submarines in attacking vessels of commerce and the acquiescence of Germany in that attitude, yet with full confidence in the ability of the Austro-Hungarian government of the views of the government of the United States as expressed in no uncertain terms to the United States, the submarine which attacked the Ancom failed to put in a place of safety the crew and passengers of the vessel which they purposed to destroy because, it is known, of taking it into part as a prize of war. Violate International Law. The government of the United States considers that the commander violated the principles of international law and of humanity by shelling and torpedoning the submarine, and that he has been put in a place of safety or even given sufficient time to leave the vessel. The conduct of the commander can be considered a matter of defenseless non-combatants, since at the time when the vessel was shelled and torpedoned she was not. It appears, resisting or attempting to escape, and no matter of defenseless non-combatants, attack not even the possibility of rescue. The government of the United States is forced, therefore, to conclude either that issue instructions to the commanders of his submarines should with an intention violation of his instructions or that the imperial and royal government failed to issue instructions to the commanders of his submarines and the principles of humanity. The government of the United States is unwilling to believe the latter alternative and to credit the destroyer with an intention to permit his submarines to destroy the lives of helpless men, women and children. It prefers to believe that the commander of the submarine will comply with an intention to permit his submarines to destroy the general or special instructions which he had received. Expects Punishment of Commander. As the good relations of the two countries must rest upon a common regard the United States cannot be expected to do otherwise than to demand that the imperial and, royal government denounce the United States and indefensible act; that the officer who perpetrated the dead be punished, and that repatriation by the payment of an indemnity be made for the citizens of the United States by the attack on the vessel. The government of the United States expects that the Austro-Hungarian government will not sanction or demand the death, will accede to the demand promptly, and it rests this expectation on the belief that the Austro-Hungarian government will not sanction or demand the death, world as inhumane and barbarous, which is abiding to all civilized nations, and which has caused the death of innocent American citizens.

GREATEST CROP YEAR IN HISTORY CF COUNTRY Total Production of 1915 Estimated by Government to Be Worth $5,568, 773,000, Making Banner Year. Washington, D. C. — The nation's harvests this year have surpassed any ever before recorded. The value of the principal farm crops, based on prices paid to farmers Dec. 1, was announced by the department of agriculture in its final estimate as $5,658,773,000, making 1915 a banner year both in value and in production of crops. The unusual situation of extraordinary production and high prices, probably never before so pronounced, is credited principally to the war. The acreage of the principal crops this year aggregated approximately 486,570 square miles. That is larger than the combined area of Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Switzerland. The corn harvest was 3,054,535,000 bushels, the second largest crop ever grown: Its value was $1,755,859,000, exceeding that of the previous most valuable corn crop by $33,000,000. New records were made in production by wheat, oats, barley, rye, sweet potatoes, rice and hay, while tobacco closely approached its production record, 1,103,415,000 pounds, made in 1910. Production of the first billion-bushel wheat crop and the second three-billion-bushel corn crop were features of the year. Wheat acreage aggregated 59,988,000 acres, or 6,000,000 more than ever before. The yield was 16.9 bushels an acre, the largest acreage for winter and spring wheat combined ever attained in this country. The final estimate of production was 1,011,505,000 bushels, with a value of $303,020,000. Oats, rye, potatoes, sweet potatoes and tobacco all were planted on record areas. Oats exceeded its record production of 1912 by 122,000,000 bushels and its record value of 1914 by $56,000,000. The potato crop received perhaps the most severe setback of the year. Farmers planted a record acreage to potatoes, but the production was only 359,103,000 bushels. That was $6,150,000 bushels below the record year and 50,800,000 less than last year. The value of the crop, however, was $22,000,000 more than last year. Cashier Pleads Guilty. Columbus, O.—John Hornung, aged 61 years, formerly cashier of the Dresden National bank at Dresden, O. charged with having appropriated to his own use $33,000 of the bank's funds, pleaded guilty in United States district court here Wednesday and was sentenced by Judge John E. Sater to serve 13 years in the federal prison at Moundsville, W. Va. The total amount of money Hornung is alleged to have misapplied was estimated at more than $60,000; WILL Provide Safe Conduct Will Provide safe Conduct. Washington, D. C. — Sir, Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, Wednesday called on Secretary of State Lansing and informed him that Great Britain and France have agreed to provide, safe conduct, for Capitals, Boy-Ed and Von Papen, naval and military attaches of the German embassy here, whose recall has been ordered at the request of this government.

Lyons, field secretary of the Northern Baptist convention, of Chicago, at a luncheon with local business men in this city Wednesday, dist closed plans for enlarging the university so as to accommodate double the present number of students. Dr. Chamberlain stated that more than a third of a million dollars of new endowments have been pledged. This is one of the colleges to receive recognition from general educational board. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883. AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18.1915 CHIGAGO GETS THE G.O.P.CONVENTION Will. Invade the Stranghold of the Progressive Faction, JUNE 7 DATE SELECTED FOR GATHERING A Desire to Heal the Broach With the Republicans Who Left the Party in 1912, Motive, Said Committeeman. Washington, D. C.—In fixing June 7 as the date for their national convention the Republican national committee Tuesday indicated the purpose of the party to force the fighting and compel the Democrats to give battle on lines selected by the Republicans. In selecting Chicago as the place the committee indicated its purpose to ignore the Roosevelt problem and to proceed methodically about party business as though no Roosevelt revolt and ever occurred or could by any possibility be revived. The strongest argument advanced by the opponents of Chicago was that the tone of the press and the sentiment of the public in that city were still strongly for the Progressive faction and that the deliberations of the convention would be influenced by that sentiment. One Week Before Democrats. One Week Before Democrats. The committee who bear the scars of the conflict of 1912—men like Clara Barnes and Snoot—were expected to show their resentment by refusing to return to so hostile a field. Until late Monday night this argument, plus the appeal for aid to carry Missouri, seemed certain to result in a St. Louis victory. But the resolution successfully urged by Committee Perkins of Washington Tuesday morning setting the convention date one week ahead of that of the Democrats ended St. Louis chances. It was evident that the Republicans could not finish their work and get away from that city in season for the Democratic gathering. "The committee is so desirous of doing all that it can to heal the breach with the Republicans who left in 1912 that it has sent the convention to the very center of progressivism in order that they may be no charge of foul play," said one committee member. "We think the danger of another Roosevelt outbreak so trivial that we are perfectly willing to go right into his 1912 cidadel with our convention," said another. Cconciliation or Defiance. Either for conciliation or in confident defiance the Republicans have seen fit to overlook Chicago's hostility in 1912. The note of conciliation is the one most generally sounded in the meeting places, though there are not wanting some who insist that the Progressive movement is so thoroughly shattered that no consideration what-ever need be given to it. Of the confidence of the Republicans who have been here this week there can be no doubt. The meeting has manifested the enthusiasm of a party convinced of coming victory. While there has been much "booming" of candidates there has been more discussion of policies. That every possible effort will be made to force the tariff to the front as the dominant issue was made apparent by the friends of every candidate. WILL INVESTIGATE LOBBY SOUTH CAROLINIAN WANTS TO KNOW WHAT SUFFRAGISTS WILL DO WITH $50,000. Washington, D. C.—The suffrage lobby is to be investigated by congress. The $50,000 fund pledged by the Congressional union Sunday for federal suffrage work roused theire of Congressman James F. Byrnes of South Carolina. Tuesday morning he introduced a resolution in the house calling for an investigation. "It is reported that the Congressional union is preparing a blacklist of congressman," said Mr. Byrnes. "This is an evidence of the pure politics promised us by women who want the vote. Who is getting that vast sum of money? It is time for the country to know. Is congress to be intimidated by a lobby?" Wine Merchant Dics Sandusky, O. — Henry, Trieschmann, aged 72, one of the wealthiest wine manufacturers of Kelleys island, died of blood poisoning Monday. The infection set in from running a silver of wood under his finger nail. On Stand 32 Days New York City—Charles S. Mellen Tuesday completed his long distance record on the witness stand in the New Haven directors trial. He had been under examination 32 days. Murder and. Suicide Hamilton, O.—The bodies of Jacob Elstein, 30, and Bessie Markum Jacob Elstein, 30, and Bessie Markum Messner, 16, were found in the girl's room at her home here, both with bullet wounds through the head. Police say indications point to Elsten's shooting the girl, with whom he was known to have been infatuated, and then turning the weapon, upon himself. The cause of the shooting is not known, but police believe the act may have been inspired by feauty. The girl has been marred previously. SOCIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN. Western Tour of Urban League's As- Western Tour of Urban League's As- sociate Director was a success. New York - Eugene Kineleie Jones, associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions. Among Negroes, has returned to this city from an extended trip to cities of the middle west in the interest of the league's work. He visited] Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus and Pittsburgh for the purpose of informing the public as to the activities of this organization in New York city and the other cities where the league has affiliated movements. The trip was made with the hope that those persons in the cities of the middle west who may be interested in the social welfare of their own communities might appropriate for their own use some of the successful experiments which have been conducted by this organization. Mr. Jones' song was highly successful. In Detroit a central council, composed of representatives of all local welfare organizations, held a meeting for the purpose of centralizing these movements and getting more cooperation. In Chicago Mr. Jones addressed a gathering of representative white and colored citizens at a luncheon which was held at the city club. He also addressed the students of the Chicago School of Cities and Philanthropy and the Chicago Federation of Women's Clubs. Here also a central council of representatives of existing organizations will be formed to consider means of making more effective social welfare work in Chicago. At Indianapolis Mr. Jones addressed a large gathering at the Young Men's Christian association under the auspices of the women's council. At Pittsburgh the Associated Charities co-operated in forming a committee of white and colored citizens for the purpose of further coordinating the welfare work among the colored people of Pittsburgh. A social worker will be employed at once, and other means of advancing the movement, such as the establishing of a district office and the employment of additional workers, will be adopted as the needs show themselves and the funds are available. Mr. Jones will return to Chicago, Cincinnati and several other cities some time during the month of January for further conferences. The good effect of the league's work has been received very favorably by representative citizens wherever it has been presented. The headquarters of the National Urban league are located at 2383 Seventh avenue, New York city. The annual printed report of his work will be available for free distribution about Dec. 15. MISSION WORK IN AFRICA. Million in Need of the Gospel, Says the Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner. One of the most interesting addresses delivered at the recent session of the Georgia conference of the A. M. E. church held at Macon, Ga., was that of the Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner, who gave a vital account of its travels in Azlea. In a country stretching for many thousand miles Dr. Tanner says there are $50,000,000 natives who are in need of the gospel, the sympathy and help of our missionaries, who are doing a great work. The Rev. A. J. Carey of Chicago presided at one of the sessions of the conference in the absence of Bishop J. S. Flipper. The report of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society was made by Mrs. Hattie Walter. The women's department gave $1,305.13, which is to be devoted to missionary ministers and to the establishment of mission churches. Another important item mentioned in the report was the request that a southern woman be appointed editor of the Woman's Recorder, a position formerly filled by the late Mrs. H. M. Tanner. The election of ministerial delegates to the general conference of the demination to be held in Philadelphia in May, 1916, resulted in the selection of the following named persons: L. H. Smith, C. A. Wingfield, T. J. Hall, Edward Griggs, A. S. Bailley, F. C. Crayon, W. E. Bailey and F. J. Reeves. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. National Negro Press Association to Meet in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 10. Plans are being perfected for holding the annual convention of the National Negro Press association at Nashville, Tenn., for three days, beginning on Thursday, Feb. 10, 1916. The executive committee, of which Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati is chairman, will hold sessions at 10 o'clock a. m. and 2 o'clock b. m. on Thursday. The evening session of the association on Thursday will be open to the public. The officials of the association are working earnestly to have a large at endance of members as there are many important items of business to be considered at this meeting. All newspaper men who expect to attend should communicate with Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary, Nashville, Tenn. Large Sum For R. C. Ogden Memorial. The southern friends of the late Robert C. Ogden are working zealously to report a large sum toward the expense of erecting a suitable memorial auditorium in honor of Mr. Ogden at the Hampton (Va.) institute. On Dec. 1 the amount reported as the south's contribution thus far was $55,000, and the committee in charge of the financial end of the project believes that there will be many contributions to the fund during the coming holiday season. CHURCHES UNITE IN GIVING THANKS Meeting Held at St. Marks in New York. CURTIS OFF FOR LIDERIA. Hundreds Crowd Famous Meeting House to Hear Eloquent Sermon by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell. Touching Reference Made to Passing of Dr. Booker T. Washington. BY N. BARNEET DODSON New York. Two very interesting events marked the activities of a large number of our people in this city on Thanksgiving day. One was of great religious significance, the other of civic and political recognition. The union Thanksgiving service of the St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, the Mount Olivet and Abyssinian churches (Umpati), held at the first named church edifice, was attended by an audience which overlived the seating and standing capacity of the famous St. Mark's meeting house. The event of a civic and political nature was a complimentary dinner tendered by citizens to the Ion, James L. Garlis, the newly appointed American minister to the republic of Lübera, Mr. Curtis sailed for his new post of duty on Saturday, Nov. 27. The sermon at the union Thanksgiving service was delivered by the Rev. Dr. C. Clayton Powell, minister BEV. DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL. of the Abyssinian church in West Fortteh street. Dr. Powell's text was selected from the sixth chapter of the book of Daniel, tenth verse. Dr. Powell in part said: "We are grateful to the pilgrim fathers for the origin of Thanksgiving day and indebted to our presidents and governors for nationalizing this day. We all need to have our spirit' of thanksgiving aroused in this way, for we are more prone to murmur than we are to be grateful; we are more prone to beg for favors than we are to be thankful for benefits received. Ingrataude makes us both old and ugly. David says, 'It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto the name of the Most High.' It is not only good for the spiritual man, but it is also good for our mental and physical natures. The grateful man is healthier and happier than the grumbler. "At a camp meeting up in New England some years ago a man arose in the audience and said: 'I moved during the year, and it was the greatest move I ever made in my life. At the last camp meeting I was living in Grumble corner, but a few months ago I moved up on Thanksgiving avenue. Up there I find the air purer, the sun brighter and companionship more congenial.' Let every one of us make this same move, and when we shall have lived on Thanksgiving avenue a few weeks our lives will be in harmony with Daniel, who kneeled and prayed three times a day and gave thanks before his God. "In the humble opinion of the speaker there never was a time when we should be more grateful as a race. Since emancipation colored people have bought nearly 3,000,000 homes and more than a billion dollars' worth of farm land. Racial enterprises are springing up and spreading in all parts of the United States. "We desire in this public meeting today to register our unspeakable gratitude to Almighty God for Booker T. Washington: We have been so busy praising, the Lord for his wonderful work and worth to America and to the world that we have not had time to mourn his death. That a man could be born under the bark of the blood hounds, the sound of the bull whip and the cede of the slave auctioneer's voice and rise up through prejudice and a thousand other handicaps to be the companion and friend of kings and queens, presidents and princes, is enough to make every American Negro say, 'Bless the Lord. O my soul, and all that is within me; bless his holy name'. "His example will be an inspiration to your boy and to mine. As the years go by they will read his 'Up From Slavery and catch a vision of the fact that there is room at the top even for the American Negro boy. We are impoverished for words to express our gratitude for this man, whose life meant so much to the race and to humanity." SINGLE. COPY FIVE CENTS CHARLES C. CROWLEY Charles C. Growley, a private detective of San Francisco and recently in the employ of the German consulate in the west, has been arrested, by警方，the department, for conspiring to destroy ships carrying war munitions and supplies to the allies. In the specific complaint which was filed by the department, Francis Krull, Crowley is charged, it is said, with having supplied money for the destruction of ships and docks by fire and dynamite. WILLIS SPEAKS BEFORE BUILDERS' EXCHANGE Expressed Himself as Strongly in Favor of Additional Defenses by Development of the National Guard. Cleveland, Q. — Governor Willis came to the city Monday and delivered an address before the Builders' Exchange. In his talk the governor emphasized the importance of national defense, the development of a merchant marine and the attainment of a definite fiscal policy which would secure to Americans the benefits of their industries. He expressed himself as strongly in favor of additional national defenses, classing the United States in its present defenseless condition as somewhat in the same position as "babes in the woods" among animals eager to devour. "The world has ceased to be provincial anywhere. By quick leaps it is being welded into an intimate relationship, and we must see to it that we are not obliterated in the race for supremacy, nor even for equality of power, for very existence itself." The governor expressed his view that the development of the National Guard is much more practicable and far less expensive than any attempt to develop a third form of defense, the so-called "continental" army, advocated by the secretary of war. He described the disappearance of American shipping from the seas as "both graphic and tragic." The governor voiced his opposition to the government ship-owning policy, pointing out its dangers in time of international complications and expressing the view that anyway this is a business that should be developed by individuals with governmental assistance until it can get to the place where competition with the world is possible. "A few days ago the most distinguished exponent of the present fiscal policy declared within the borders of our state that he would like the thrilling pride of realizing that there was nobody in America who was afraid to match wits with the world. "I differ with the gentleman on the question involved. This is a conflict of economic conditions, not of "wits. Very different is the nation's industrial situation today. The man who works for nine cents a day and the American who receives from $2.50 to $3 per day must necessarily live under very different conditions. The problem facing this country today is cheap wage competition and what we shall do with it. Are we to permit our laboring men to have similar conditions of life to those existing abroad, or are we to maintain the standards we have?" Increase Their Capital Stock Sharon, Pa. -- The stockholders of the Driggs-Seabury Ordnance Co. voted to increase the common stock from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000, of which amount $10,000,000 will be issued in the near future to complete the recent purchase of the Savage Arms Co. at Utica. Missouri Ex-Senator Dies. Washington, D. C.—Former Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri died at his home here Monday. He was $1. Time Not Continuous. Columbus, O. — A mother does not have to reside in Ohio two years continuously to get a pension under the mothers' pension law, so Attorney General Turner has ruled to Probate Judge Hoke of Seneca county. A mother of several children who always resided in Seneca county until two and a half years ago, when she went to Michigan, where her husband died, and who has returned to her old home, is entitled to benefit under the mother's pension act, so Turner ruled. IN MAYOR WEST SIDE SAFELY AGROSS GREEK FRONTIER The Second Phase of the Balkan Campaign Has Closed. ALLIES CLOSE TO THEIR FORTIFIED BASE Believed Germans and Austrians Have Not Sufficient Troops Available to Attack Allies; Watch for Russian Invasion. London, England—With the Anglo-Portch forces safely across the Greek frontier and close to their strongly fortified base at Saloniki, where reinforcements are arriving daily, the second phase of the Bulkian campaign, which opened with the Teutonic invasion of Serbia and the defeat of her army, has closed, and the people of the belligerent countries are anxiously waiting the next more. It seems fairly well settled the Bulgarians do not intend to invade Greece, an action which would likely cause dissension in that country, already uneasy over the Bulgarian occupation of Monastir. Also it is not believed the Austrians and Germans have sufficient troops available to attack the entente allies. The Germans are variously reported to be concentrated near Monastir and Doiran" and on the Rumanian border and as preparing for an attempt to drive, the entente allies from the Gallipoli peninsula. All these reports lack confirmation. One thing seems certain—the Germans will have to keep a close watch on the Rumanian side, not only because of the danger of that country entering the war against them but to meet the threat of a Russian invasion through Rumania which, although nothing has been said of it recently, has not been lost sight of. There are many persons who believe the Germans purpose to rest on their laurels in the near east for the time being and make a bid for victory on the western front. Persistent reports come from Holland of the concentration of German armies in Belgium and Luxemburg with the intention of striking a blow as soon as the ground permits it. At the present moment the greater part of the country is a sea of mud, in which it would be suicide for any army to attempt an offensive. The reported concentration of Germans doubtless accounts for the army air raids which the entente allies are making behind the German lines in an effort to upset the movement of troops and destroy shelters, camps and the supplies of munitions which are necessary for an offensive. Gen. Townshend reports the repulse of further Turkish attacks against the British position at Kut-el-Amara, 'Mesopotamia. On Trial for Murder. Steubenville, Q.—The unwritten law will be the defense of Sofia Calluzio, aged 40; who went on trial for her life Wednesday. A panel of 66 jurors was on hand when court opened. Miss Calluzio is charged with killing Domincio Lucresto on the streets here Sept. 28. In her preliminary examination Miss Calluzio she shot Calluzio when she insulted her, after persuading her sweetheart, Nick Ervasi, 22, to return to Italy. Ohio: Women in Washington Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Harriett Taylor Upton, Warren, president of Ohio suffragists; Mrs. O. F. Davison, Dayton; Miss Mary Graham Rice, Norwalk; Mrs. Roger G. Perkins, Mrs. Charles S. Brooks, Miss Zara duPont, Mrs. Myron B. Vorce, Cleveland, and Mrs. Florence. Swisher, Millersport, are representing Ohio at the national woman suffrage convention in this city this week. Mrs. Hopley Named. Warren, O.-Mrs. James R. Holey of Bucyrus has been appointed chairman of the Eighth congressional district for the Ohio Woman Suffrage association, and Mrs. Howard Huckins of Oberlin becomes president of Lorain County Woman Suffrage association. Both are past presidents of the Ohio Federation of Women's clubs. Feds Will Quit Chicago, IL.—There will be only two big leagues in the country next year, the American league practically having agreed to the proffers of peace brought to the meeting Wednesday by Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Nationals. In other words, there will be no Federal league in 1916. New York.—It was said in the financial district Wednesday, that the Curtiss Aeroplane company has closed a contract with the British government for $15,000,000 worth of aeroplanes. Gigantic Auto Battle. Cleveland, O. — The Willys Overland — Co. of Toledo, with an output of 200,000 cars a year, has joined the General Electric in the battle between General Electric, and General Motors interests for domination of the United States motor car industry. The Toledo company will distribute the Peerless product as its own. This will give it a selling line running from the new $615 Overland to the new $1,980 eight-cylinder Peerless, a low and high range of products calculated to provide a car for every taste.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1915 "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to stand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The "Wilson popularity" reduced the Democratic majority. In reversing himself as to preparedness, President Wilson for the first time showed himself amenable to public opinion. Republican presidents kept us out of European wars, too. No nation wanted war with us then, none does now—and we don't. The majority in both branches of congress, the president in the White House and the White House brides, all are from the Solid South. Gov. Frank B. Willis should give a few first-class appointments to Ohio's sixty thousand Afro-American Republican voters. He promised to do so. Those of you who have lived in the South, and many who have not, know what that means. Let us hear from you, please. The Democrats in Washington are having discussion no end to determine the best places to bleed the country to make good the treasury deficit their extravagance has caused. Mr. E. F. Cooney of Jersey City, feels sure about Wilson next year, but there is, he says, "a well-defined impression that the Democrats will lose the House of Representatives." We want Mr. Cooney to know that next year the tall goes with the hide. Governor McCreary of Kentucky was elected by more than 30,000 plurality. But he ran four years ago when Woodrow Wilson was not writing letters in support of Kentucky candidates. This year Wilson wrote such letters for Stanley, the Democrat; i candidate, and he just pulled through with a margin under 400. The same night that Mr. Wilson went to deliver his Manhattan club speech in New York flaying Bryan Secretary Daniels was giving a dinner party in Washington with Bryan as the guest of honor. When it comes to working both sides of the street, this administration knows a thing or two The letter from Mr. T. P. Riddle, received this week, relative to the "Ohio Corn Boys' Special" and "The Birth of a Nation," in Philadelphia, puts a new light on that much discussed matter and certainly strengthens The Gazette's comment. If the governor has not acted in his case, it is certainly time to do so. Read Mr. Riddle's letter—elsewhere in this paper. A declaration made two weeks or so ago was not given the prominence it deserved in the wired news. It was that of Alexander H. Revell of Chicago, that he would act in the Republican party. It was Mr. Revell who, working by telegraph hurriedly but effectively, formed the nation-wide Progressive organization. As a contributor to the Roosevelt campaign he ranked next to Dan R. Hanna and Geo. W. Perkins. The management of "The Birth of a Nation," which has been running, many weeks, in Chicago, under an injunction which our people there do not seem to care to make any effort to have the courts dissolve, lost a fight in that city, on Tuesday, to gain the privilege of exhibiting the infamous photoplay to minors. The promoters have filed an amended petition for unrestricted privileges, but the legal representatives of Chicago declare the city will be able to score a decisive victory at the next hearing. We hope so. When Mr. Bryan said that the differences between himself and the president are differences of principle, he gave a rather broad and unmistakable hint of his attitude on the "single-term" plank of the Baltimore platform. He says he has no personal difference with the president. Of course not. He assumes that Mr. Wilson will --- adhere to the pledge of the Baltimore platform; if not, then there will be a difference between himself and the president on this principle—a difference that need not interfere with their personal friendship. But principles are something on which Mr. Bryan does not compromise, and he wants everybody to know it. Statistics furnished by the Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist, show conclusively that our good friend, Editor W. H. Steward of that paper, is NOT dean of the Afro-American editorial corps, because he has not been an editor for as many consecutive years as Editor J. R. Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. According to the American Baptist's statistics, he was associate-editor, with Rev. A. C. Carpenter as editor, for a portion of the time, and has served as editor a less number of consecutive years than Brother Clifford of the Pioneer Press. In the light of all the information, relative to the deanship of the race press, this seems to be the logical and correct conclusion. When the editor of The Gazette was a member of the Ohio Legislature one of the race's staunchest and best friends in that August body was Senator J. J. Sullivan of Warren. Indeed, he was among those who voted for our Ohio Civil Rights' law. Ever since, we have been strong personal friends. The senator moved to Cleveland, was later appointed U. S. District Attorney, and while in that position on various occasions demonstrated his practical friendship for the race when it meant much to the individual as well as the race. As a leading attorney of this city, he has remained a true friend of the race. The fact that he, in his professional capacity, represented one of his many clients, on the opposing side of a civil rights' case in one of our local courts, last and this week, should not and will not change his friendship for the race or our friendly feeling toward him. "DOUBLE-CROSSED"? Pennsylvania Afro-Americans say they are assured by prominent state senators that the Hon. A. C. Stein, who introduced a Civil Rights' bill in the legislature of that state, last winter, "double-crossed" them when it reached the state senate by going to prominent members of that body and asking its defeat. The bill was so amended, before passing the "Keystone" state's house of representatives, as to be practically ruined. Therefore, if Mr. Stein did do, as charged, it is a question whether his conduct is open to criticism or praise, and the "double-crossing" charge cannot be made with evidence of fairness and justice until this phase of the matter is determined. JACK LEARNING A letter from Dublin, Ireland, to American daily newspapers, under date Dec. 4, 1915, says that city is much perturbed over the question of morality in the theaters, etc., and is clamoring for a public censorship (like Ohio has for the "movies" only). The concluding paragraph of the letter is as follows: Jack Johnson, who appeared as the producer of a revue, no worse than many others, experienced its effect on the first night of his performance and the audience insisted on the removal of its objectionable features. He did not resent this in the least, but mildly thanked his patrons for letting him know their views so promptly and unmistakably. Johnson is learning. It is a little late, it is true, "but better late than never." A little of the "common sense" and "diplomacy" (shown in Dublin recently) exercised when Jack was champion and in this country, would have saved our people, and him too, "a world of trouble," and the Lord only knows how much more. SENATOR FORAKER SHOULD BE A CANDIDATE. A local daily paper announced, last Sunday, that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is soon to announce himself as a candidate for delegate-at-large to the national Republican convention, to convene next June, in spite of the fact that a so-called "slate" has been framed with Wm. Cooper Proper of Cincinnati, Senator Warren G. Harding of Marion, former Governor Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland, and Governor Frank B. Willis as members of the "big four." The same paper stated that the senator had received sufficient assurances from friends throughout the state that they would welcome his candidacy, "to justify him in making the attempt at the primaries"; also that he "sees a chance to the darkhorse candidate for president if the favorite sons' program falls down." We sincerely trust that all of the foregoing is true. One thing sure and that is there are sixty thousand Afro-American Republicans in the state of Ohio who are not only willing but anxious for an opportunity to vote first for Senator Foraker for delegate-at-large or for U. S. senator, praying all the time that he will also become the Republican nominee for president in June of next year. No man, in or out of Ohio, but our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, can command the undivided support of the Afro-American voters of this state and the entire country. What a magnificent standard-bearer for the party, next year, he would make! STATE INSTITUTIONS SEGREGATION. Several years ago The Gazette labored for months in a vain effort to get a democratic state administration to discontinue the segregation, of Afro-American inmates of two state institutions, inaugurated by prejudiced trustees of the Girls' Industrial school at Delaware and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' home at Xenla. We were, therefore, greatly pleased to have the opportunity to explain the matter to him afforded us, Monday afternoon, by Gov. Frank B. Willis after a delegation from a local race organization had called upon him to enter a vigorous protest against the insulting condition forced upon our young folk at the two institutions named, and pernish others. Such "public" discriminia DOINGS OF THE RACE Wealthy members of the race in New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, have planned a golf course at Pleasantville near Atlantic City.

His crime was a felonious assault on little Edith Hayward, aged 14, a member of the race. * * * Creation of a $2,000,000 Booker T.

Fulton ("white") in eighteen seconds, several months ago, Fulton and Jess Willard are matched to fight the same opponent Sam. McVey have been matched for a big fight at an early date. Jack Johnson, Joe Jeannette, Langford, McVey and Wills, all Afro-American heavyweight pugilists, are better men than Willard, and all fight fans know this. Within the year Mother Superior Catherine M. Drexel of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, Philadelphia, established three new schools for the Afro-American catholics: St. Peter Clavers, Macon, Ga.; St. Catherine school, Germantown, Pa., and Southern university, New Orleans, which was taken over from the school of the same which is more than 500. She is very wealthy and one of the grandest women this country has produced. tion feeds on itself—is wrong in principle, is in line with southern racial proscription, and certainly should have no place here in the grand old "Buckeye" state. We feel sure that it will not take our broad-minded and brilliant governor long to impress the trustee boards of the two institutions named, and others, that that sort of thing must be discontinued because it is wrong in principle and a ranking insult to the more than two hundred thousand Afro-American residents of this state which there never was and never can be any good excuse or justification for. Wipe it out, governor, and do not allow your administration to be burdened with any responsibility for such "Russian" and southern discrimination. PRESIDENT WILSON PREJUDICED President Woodrow Wilson ignored Dr. Booker T. Washington's death and also refused to even refer to the Haitian question in his message to congress, last week. This is in perfect line with his impatience and "outburst" when that Afro-American delegation called on him, last year, and one of its speakers, Editor W. Monroe Trotter, who had supported his candidacy for president, began to address him, as a MAN and CITIZEN. "We are lothe to believe that the ignoring of the Haitian question—in the face of the mentioning of the Mexican question—is due to race and color. This administration cannot afford to alienate the sympathies of the ten millions of citizens of color in this country, in the face of the fact that the president's pronouncements on foreign policies have already aroused the antagonism of the sympathizers of the entente powers, and more especially the German-American citizens, a reaffirmation of the Haitian country, in its comments on the president's message."—Baltimore Commonwealth. We can assure Editor Ernest Lyon, of the Commonwealth, that there can be no doubt of the "figure" color and race "cuts" with the southern democratic Wilson administration. We have had so many evidences of it in the last two and a half years that "the sympathies of the ten millions of citizens of color in this country" have long since been "lost," if indeed the Wilson administration ever held any considerable number of them. No doubt about it, brother, two "hyphenated American" classes—the Afro-American and the German-American—will certainly do their part next year to elect the Republican president of this country who will surely succeed the present southern-born and prejudiced chief executive, on the 4th of March, 1917.

Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator is guaranteed to stop the falling out of the hair and to make the hair grow. It has been successfully used by many ever since 1990 and with perfect satisfaction. This Tonic is highly recommended by many Toledo people and elsewhere, who will globally furnish testimonials. Many people get diseased scalps by using widely advertised hair tonics prepared by unscrupulous persons who have in mind nothing but mercenary gain. On the other hand, MADAME JONES' HAIR TONIC and INVIGATOR is absolutely harmless and will do all that is claimed for it. Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator promotes the growth of the hair, prevents and cures baldness, removes dandruff, cures scalp diseases, imparts lustre and beauty; it restores the color of the hair by supplying it with the natural elements and necessary nourishment.

Public Square was tried on Friday of last week and Monday of this week before Judge Kraemer and a jury in the Municipal court. Attorney J. J. Sullivan represented the defendant, while the plaintiff was represented by Attorneys W. J. Hart and Charles S. Sutton. The case grew out of the refusal of Wong Kee to serve Miss Williams and her companion with a meal on the night October 15, a morning morning the jury was given a verdict against the defendant. The attorneys for Miss Williams intend to file a motion for a new trial, alleging misconduct on the part of a juror in separating himself from the jury without permission of the court. Miss Williams' companion is also to enter suit against Wong Kee. A committee from the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, consisting of Sam. E. Woods, chairman; Wm. H. Hunley, Theo. B.

Flipper Pleased With Growth of A. M. E. Church. Athens, Ga.—The recent session of the Georgia conference of the A. M. E. church held in this town was well attended, and the reports from the various churches showed that much good work has been done by the ministers and their parishioners. The growth of the conference was brought out very clearly in Bishop J. S. Flipper's annual address in which he reviewed the work as far back as 1865, when there was but one conference with twelve ministers, only four of which were competent enough to act as secretary. Bishop Flipper said: "Georgia, South Carolina and Florida once constituted one conference of only 1,200 members. Today we have 165,000 members in Georgia, 1,028 ministers, three institutions for higher learning with 1,185 students. The value of our educational institutions exceeds $375,000. "There have been some friction, misunderstanding and irregularities among our pastors with myself and the carrying on of our work, educationally and otherwise. All of it has been settled. I shall not put a straw in the way of the worthy, honest, capable men who can be elected to the next general conference, and would here advise the young men who are in school or who have not reached the proper years of experience and who cannot do the good that the older and sober minded men can do to cease their ambitions for what would be empty honors to them. "Next April we shall raise $25,000 as a golden jubilee offering for Morris Brown, Payne college and Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute. Each pastor will find the amount he is to raise in his charge on his appointment blank, which will be handed him when the assignments are read." To Remain Unsettled Engineers say that among the things that will never be settled are the following: Whether a long screwdriver is better than a short one of the same family; whether water wheels run faster at night than they do in the daytime; the best way to harden steel; which side of the belt should run next the pulley, and the right way to lace belts.

Willis' Threat—Did He "Double-Cross" Ohio's Chief Executive?—Some Mighty Interesting Reading. According to a dispatch from Philadelphia to daily newspapers of the state, last Friday, the Ohio "Corn Boys" excursionists, in charge of T. P. Riddle of the State Agricultural department, were taken to see that vicious photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," there, in spite of Gov. Frank B. Willis' strong disapproval, suggestion that it NOT be done, and threat to cancel his promise to be present with the excursionists (at Philadelphia) to deliver an address to the "Ohio Corn Boys." If the dispatch states the truth, then the plain fact is that T. P. Riddle has taken an advantage of the governor, and offered an insult to him and the State Board of Film Censors that will justify the removal of Mr. Riddle, as announced earlier in the week by daily newspapers of Ohio. As the governor well said in his letter to him (republished elsewhere in this paper) the vicious photo-play has been barred from the state by the State Board of Censors and a visit to it should have no place "on the official program of entertainment (of the 'Corn Boys' excursionists) outside of Ohio." This was in part "side-steped" by Mr. Riddle by removing from the program "The Birth of a Nation" and leaving on it "8:10, Keith's Theater." According to the aforementioned daily papers, Garrick theater, Philadelphia, was visited to see the vicious photo-play after the dinner in the early evening at the hotel where the governor and others delivered speeches, and immediately after which he left "to catch the 8 p. m. train." The following are self-explanatory: PETER H. State of Ohio. Executive Department. Columbus. Dec. 7, 1915 Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith:--I am in receipt of your note with interesting clipping. You understand the whole situation touching the Corn Boys' trip and its relation to the photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation." On November the 23rd it was first brought to my attention that this play had been included by Mr. Riddle as a part of the official entertainment on the Corn Boys' trip. I immediately called Mr. Riddle by phone and protested against this accusation. I was told that I should stand I should be compelled to cancel my connection with the trip. I also wrote him fully on the same subject and have his reply before me, in which he stated that the objectionable film would be stricken from the program. I, of course, recognize that I have no authority over citizens of Ohio outside of the state. They can go to see any entertainment outside of the state that they wish to see. The only thing I had authority to do was to express my strong disapproval over the program. This I properly received the assurance from Mr. Riddle that it would be stricken from the official program. I am inclosing herewith a copy of the printed program distributed amongst the excursionists. Mr. Riddle also informed me that it would be announced publicly at the close of dinner that a visit to Keith's theater was the official entertainment provided for the party. I spoke briefly early in the evening and had to do so in the evening. Therefore I do not know what an announcement was made at the close of dinner, but feel sure that the statement made by Mr. Riddle to me was carried out in good faith. At all events, I took every possible step to secure the elimination of this objectionable film from the official program, and the inclosed copy of program which I am sending you shows the result of that effort. Dear Mr. Smith:—Answering your letter of inquiry in 8/15, "15, concerning the "Buckeye Corn Special" party and the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," I advise that "The Birth of a Nation" was booked for the entertainment of the "Buckeye Corn Special" party about three months ago. Shortly after the booking, the Ohio Board of Film Censors barred The Birth of a Nation. Also before we started the trip, Governor Willis called my attention to the fact that this item of entertainment did not meet with his approval. He requested the cancellation, but I found that we could not 9 Great Serials The year 1916 will be crowded with the very best reading in The Youth's Companion 9 Great Serials 250 Short Stories CUT THIS OUT and send it (for the name of this paper) with $2.00 for The COMPANION for 1916, and we will send FREE All the issues of THE COMPANION for the remaining weeks of 1915.

However, other entertainment was furnished as the official entertainment of the evening, and all were so notified. However, we had advertised "The Birth of a Nation" and I felt it my duty to extend the members of our party the privilege of attending "The Birth of a Nation" in the event they might elect to do so in preference to enjoying the official entertainment of the evening. "The Birth of a Nation" was power of the Post theater, but was transferred to the Garrick theater. It is my impression that a large per cent of our party elected to see "The Birth of a Nation," but I had no way of determining just how many did witness it. Very truly yours, T. P. RIDDLE. STILL ASKING FOR PHOTOGRAPHS. Cleveland, O., Dec. 3, 1915 Gov. Frank B. Willis, Capitol, Columbus, O. Trusting you will take up this master once more and that it will prove all sufficient, I am, Yours truly, HARRY C. SMITH. Hon. H. C. Smith, Blackstone Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir:—The governor has direct ed me to hand you the copy of the enclosed letter of Dr. Matson, which is self-explanatory. Yours very truly. Yours H. M. EDWARDS, Executive Clerk to the Governor My Dear Sir:—The communication of Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, to you under date of Dec. 3rd, has just been handed to me by Mr. Edwards. In order that you may again be thoroughly informed with reference thereto, we beg to advise that in accordance with your request a committee acting for the board authorized the printing of new forms of application blanks to be substituted for those which seemed to be objectifiable to a few of the colored people. The forms were immediately printed, as we wrote you on Sept. 2nd they would be. A mistake, however, was made in the form that we us printed upon blue paper instead of orange as ordered, which caused another delay of a day or so before the new forms could be put into use, (see letter of Sept. 14th advising you of this fact). Since Sept. 30th, the last date when such applications could be made under the waiver, we have probably not sent out over two dozen blanks all at once, sent out desiring to amend their applications). Since the change on the blank was made, we do not believe that a single blank has been sent out on the old forms. On the slip concerning the photograph we stamped, as per our agreement with you, "Requested, Not Required." We have not insisted that photographs be filed with applications in a single instance since the photograph was printed on a graph slip, we presume, which Mr. Smith now objects. We are enclosing here a complete set of blanks and information furnished applicants since the new forms were obtained. Very respectfully, (Signed) GEO. H. MATSON, Secretary Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 8, 1915. Gov. Frank B. Willis, Capitol, Columbus, O. Friend Willis:—The communication, with enclosures which George Matson, secretary of the State Medical Board sent to you and which you forwarded to me, just received. No such slip, as he enclosed in his letter to you, on which "Requested, not Required" was stamped, having reference to the State Board's request for a photograph of applicants for a certificate to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery, was enclosed in the letter to the person who called my attention to the Board's request for photograph. This, in all probability, was an oversight, which, I trust, does not occur often. I shall call the attention of Afro-American applicants, throughout the state, to the fact that they need NOT furnish a photograph and ask them to notify me of any failure on the part of the secretary of the State Medical Board to furnish them with the slip concerning the photograph on which is stamped "Requested, not Required."

"I wish you would try to appear more at ease when we have company in the house. You are not afraid of people, I hope?" "No," answered Mr. Twobble, thoughtfully. "It isn't that.

"But some of them are like motor cars. They run badly after they leave the factory." At a Disadvantage "Do you think you can put a man in the penitentiary and then make a perfect citizen of him?" "Not always. If you put him in as warden he's likely to be an object of criticism the rest of his life." Mother's Suggestion That It Was Place Where Nothing Would Grow Leads to Amusing Reply. A fond mother was assisting the little boy the other evening in the mastery of his geography lesson, and coming to the description of a desert, which formed part of the lesson to be memorized, she quoted the words of the text-book to the effect that it was "a barren tract." The little fellow repeated the phrase after her, but his air of mystification showed that he hadn't the slightest idea of the meaning conveyed by the group of words, and the better to reach his understanding, she endeavored to simplify the description by defining it as "a place where nothing would grow." The boy's face brightened with the light of awakened intelligence, and the mother, proud and expectant, put the question: "Now, Johnny, what is a desert?" Prompt came the response: "Pa's bold head." Three of a Kind. William Travers Jerome, the New York lawyer, said of a certain charge the other day: "It was a coincidence, a strange coincidence, an almost incredible coincidence—like the stutterer's tale, you know. "A stutterer in a restaurant said to a waiter: "B-bring me a p-p-plate of beef." The waiter, who also stuttered, answered: "W-we're out of b-b-beef, sir." "W--we're out of b-b-beef, sir." "The guest, thinking he was being mocked, rushed at the waiter to knock him down, but another patron interposed hurriedly." "D--didn't hit him,' he said. 'He's not mocking you.

FRAGILE AND DAINTY FROCK DESIGNED FOR MISSES AND SMALL WOMEN. Effective Trimming Employed That May Quite Easily Be Made at Home—Gives Opportunity for Use of Scarf. Except for some slight difference in the silhouette one might fancy lovely Marie Louise, or Queen Hortense tripping down the stairs of the Tuileries in this fetching gown of diaphanous texture It would be a pretty and fashionable thing to carry a scarf with the gown. Many women carry scars this season, as they did last, because well they understand the alluring and illusive charm of a floating scarf drifting about shoulders or arms, and giving a faint touch of misty color to the gown or bare arms and neck. The scarf, too, is not without its practical uses, for, thin though it be, silken meshes convey quite a modicum of warmth and prevent many a girl from catching cold in draughts after the dance. This pattern is designed for misses and small women, and the air of fairy-like fragility is enhanced by the dainty trimming of ribbon flowers around the skirt. This is a very easy trimming to apply, as these flowers come made of chiffon, silk, satin and braid, attached to a delicate braid or ribbon foundation, by the yard, and they are rapidly applied. Of course, a girl with plenty of time can make the flowers out of bits of materials, as most of them are very small and of no particular shape or color. It is quite the fad to use a number of colors in a group where the blossoms are small. Over a gown of this sort may be worn an overskirt, either with or without the silver or ribbon-covered hoop wires that are now in vogue between the overskirt and skirt. As is seen, the bodice is merely a wide draped girdle over a fitted foundation, and the upper part of the waist may be of tulle and silver lace or net or chiffon or any suitable sort of lace. The frilly sleeves effect on the shoulder is becoming to a very young girl, but most A Trimming for Evening Procks. bodices of this sort are without the frilly shoulder sleeves on older women. Either long sleeves or no sleeves are worn, and the long sleeves are thin as air and trimmed at the wrist with elderdown, tulle, lace, velvet or any odd conceit; the two wrists not usually trimmed alike. Smart Hats. Velvet hats in themselves are rich looking, but when they are combined with crepe de chine they are still richer. These two materials are working together very satisfactorily to form many of the newest hats. One stunning model has the brim faced with a delicate pink crepe de chine. Another one has merely a binding of the crepe along the edge of the brim. A pleasing artistic combination is seen in a hat of tete de negre velvet faced with a yellow crepe. The trimming of the hat consists of a crocheted white wool rose. Each petal of the rose is outlined with yellow heads and lends quite an individual air to the hat. For the Kiddies Peter Rabbit, the sand bunny made of gray cotton cloth, has a hole with snap catches in his back and a spoon tied with a ribbon around his neck. He makes a jolly toy, for. when he is filled with sawdust or sand, he sits up in a most natural way and makes quite a companionable playfellow who may be emptied out, shaken and carried about in one's pocket when playtime is over. NEW BOUDOIR CAPS DAINTY Also Expensive, Unless One Happens to Have the Materials on Hand to Make Them. Have you noticed the new boudin caps? You can't just take a bit of plain net and shirt it into a little round bonnet. Now it has to be a bit of old lace or a square of priceless silk webbing or gold net to form the bit of daintiness with which milady covers her undressed tresses. Sometimes the cap is merely an excuse for a softening bit if "stillness about the face, for a few of the cream caps are crownless and the chignon or psyche may poke through as far as it likes. A square of wonderful mechin lace is tucked back over the face and falls long over the neck, like that old cap of grandma's you see in her last picture. Another is made from an old handkerchief of finest linen and deeply edge edged. Two corners are gathered over each ear and a tassel of lace covers the ear entirely. Just you hang on to those handkerchiefs and fuchsia; you can use them for boudin caps yet! UNDERWOOD A UNDERWOOD The skirt of the costume is wide and reaches to the sheetops, and buttons down the front. The sweater is of white shetland wool and of three-quarter length. It is trimmed with colored squares. A close-fitting cap of white shetland wool and scarf of same material, all of which are trimmed with the same colored squares. White woolen gloves are worn. SECRETS OF THE BOUDOIR Formula for Face Powder That Is Recommended by Celebrated Skin Specialist. While it may be questioned whether any powder is entirely harmless, a celebrated skin specialist recommends this formula for face powder: Rice flour, six ounces; rice starch, six ounces; carbonate of magnesia, three ounces; pulverized boric acid, one and a half ounces; powdered orris root, one and a fourth drams; essence of citron, 15 drops; essence of bergamot, 30 drops. Mingle the essences with the magnesia and then smoothly rub all together. Apply the powder over a light coating of cold cream well massaged into the skin and put it on generously, so that it may sink in. Then, before going out, wipe off the superfluous white with a soft cloth. In this way the powder is kept on and the skin protected from wind and dust. Too much flesh on the neck is perhaps one of the greatest obstacles to beauty. It is almost as bad in appearance as a scrawny throat and is much more difficult to remedy. It is a far simpler thing to put on flesh on a woman's throat than to take it off, for if the tissues are fed with a good grease, such as cocoa butter, the neck will soon begin to take on flesh. To reduce a double chin and to tighten the muscles which have become loosened in a flabby neck, try this simple but efficacious exercise: Throw the head back as far as it will go, drawing the muscles taut. Now turn the head slowly as far to the right as it will go, then as far to the left. Repeat ten times, increasing as you become accustomed to the strain. Bathing the neck frequently with a piece of ice is excellent for keeping the flesh firm and for removing flabbiness. IN THE BEAUTY SHOP Stains on the fingers that will not yield to ordinary methods can be removed by dipping the fingers in peroxide of hydrogen. A healing ointment for rough skin is made by mixing thoroughly one part of bismuth to three parts of white vaseline. Select a soap that has little alkali and no coloring in it. The best is also unscented. Such a soap will not harm the most delicate skin. Vaseline will darken and increase the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows. It should be heated a little and applied with a small camel's-hair brush. The constant use on the teeth of powdered charcoal or pumice stone is injurious, as such powders break the enamel and the teeth will then quickly decay. Has Reconsidered Idea Has Reconsidered Idea. Doctor Nansen has renounced the Icelandic discovery of America. Pinafores Return. It has been a long time since it was the fashion for little schoolgirls to wear pinafores of checked gingham. These once popular aprons have served to inspire a pinafore frock seen the other day. Light-weight worsted materials, of both plain and checked weaves, were combined in the making of this attractive frock. The apron overdress, of the blue and white checked material, had shoulder straps and pockets in true apron fashion. The foundation was of plain, dark blue, with a chemisette and turned-down collar of sheer white linen. The dress was smart and equally well suited in design to a miss of six or the highschool girl of sixteen. "What did the man you hired use to clean your windows?" "I didn't notice." "I thought maybe he took alcohol?" "He took alcohol, all right, I could smell it on his breath, but I don't know what he cleaned the windows with." HOLDS ODDS AND ENDS GOOD USE FOR THE OLD MARSH MALLOW BOXES. May Be Converted Into Useful Receptacles to Contain Bits of Waste That Litter Up Bed and Living Rooms. Preserve the tin boxes that have contained marshmallows and convert them into strong and handy receptacles for odds and ends that are apt to litter up bed and living rooms. The larger ones will come in handy for holding the cherished belongings of children, for the boxes are practically indestructible. After washing the box thoroughly outside and in, a thin lining (paper or silk) can be put in if preferred, but there is no real necessity for a lining. The outside is covered with a bit of brightly colored cretonne. The bottom of the box is left bare and the cretonne is tightly stretched all around the box, held down with a good paste. The top is padded with cotton under the cretonne and should be cut a little larger than the top of the box to allow of the edges being turned over. Snip or notch this surplus material to make it lie flat and before pasting the cover to the top sew. ball button in the center, preferably a white glass button, and then paste a strip of cloth around the sides of the cover. Do not bring the material over the opening of the box. If you do it will be difficult to close it. The tiny strip of tin left will never be noticed, and to leave it bare will make the box much more practical, especially for children's use. Any mother who will give her small son or daughter a box of this description for his very will, I am sure, be also sewing the seeds of neatness. Instead of odd things lying around they will be put into it. The woman who has received decorative centerpieces she cannot use for their legitimate purposes can make them into dainty cushion covers suitable for a baby's or an invalid's pillow or for her own bedroom. A round-shaped cushion is made and covered first with pink or any delicate color, a puffing of the goods being set in to connect the top and bottom. The centerpieces are used as an outer covering and can be laced together with a cord or ribbon passed through eyelid holes worked upon the edges of the linen. Incidentally a round cushion that may be on hand, but has become shabby, could be made like new again by the addition of bits of decorative linen. Square centerpieces could perform the same charitable office for a square pillow. Smaller dolllies may be arranged upon linen and used as a decoration to a bureau or sideboard cloth. Very handsome effects are often the result of this arrangement. After the dolllies are inserted the linen could be further decorated with needle and thread as the sewer preferred, the whole bordered with a machine fillet or clunk lace or a handmade crochet. Some of the latter designs are very lacy and pretty, and certainly there is no trimming that wears better. When one can make it, the expense is, of course, very little.-Boston Globe. TOQUE IS HOLDING ITS OWN Pretty Hats of Velour de Laine to Match the Suits Embroidered in Silver. In the early autumn, high crowns seemed to be taking a firm hold, but as the season advances small toques, not very high, or even quite low, appear to be quite as popular. Velvet or panne velvet small hats and toques, fur trimmed, are certainly first on the list, closely followed by small toques, made entirely or partly pasted feathers. These hats used to be considered as "demi-sailor," but are now worn with winter costumes and furs, with which they look very charming. Suzanne Talbot is making hats of "velour de laine" to match the costumes with which they are worn. These are embroidered around the edge with a heavy silver thread, and trimmed with a rather stiff feather fantasie. Or, when a sailor shape is used, there is a band of the "velour de laine" embroidered in silver on each edge, around the crown, with an ornament of the same posed smartly on one side.—From a Paris Letter. MAKING ROOM LOOK LARGER Various Ways by Which Appearance of the Small Apartment May Be Improved. We now paint our woodwork not only in ivories, grays and tans, but we run the gauet of all colors, remarks a writer in Hodse and Garden. And it is surprising how generally successful we are—for not only do we achieve nobility, but restful, livable interiors. Distinct unconnected surfaces, unrelated to as general tone, may be pulled together, so to speak, by a uniform coat of paint, thus escaping a too spotty effect of various toned grains. Another advantage in painted woodwork is that in a smallish room with several openings, entailing much trim the cut-up effect is overcome by painting the woodwork to match the wall surface. The doors and windows become less noticeable and melt into the wall surface. The room is more restful and looks twice the size. A small room | have in mind had three doors and two windows. The paper was an excellent medium toned tan and the MARY WOOD LONDON Evening gown of shell pink tulle which is gathered very tightly about the waist with an overskirt of darker colored pink taffetta draped over it and caught up on the side with a bunch of roses. A bodice of dark rose-colored panne velvet with sleeves of tule. The bodice is cut V shape in the front and back and is fastened under the left arm with a rhinestone buckle. A corsage of roses completes the dress. MANY USES FOR RIBBONS Has Been Some Time Since They Were Employed for Such a Number of Purposes. Pivot-edged ribbons are fashioned into bands and quillings. There are pretty patterns in ribbon on delicate tulle dancing frocks. Tinsel ribbons make gleaming silver rims on edges of every kind, and cause draperies to flare out. They outline panniers, finish the tops of evening bodies and drop in dangling ends from shoulders and belts. Moire and faile ribbons are fashioned into whole frocks, and gay plaid ribbons are used where a touch of brilliant color is needed. Velvet ribbons are in every color. A dress may be made from white taffeta ribbon with a succession of graduated bands of black ribbon velvet running around the skirt from hem to waist, with little loops of white picot-edged ribbon to mark the line of the bodice where it closes at the front, from black ribbon velvet collar to black ribbon velvet belt. The ribbons used are usually plain, except in cases where they are employed as a substitute for embroidery. In charming effect ribbons gleam through transparent blouses of chiffon, being sewed at intervals of one inch on an underslip of white net. A lovely rose-colored chiffon frock is trimmed with bands of gray ribbon on both skirt and bodice. A quaint evening gown is made of poudromur ribbon and white more ribbon combined, with long ends of the ribbon at the top to form a train. A dress made entirely of ribbon has length after length of wide failure ribbon handkerchief from the waist over an apron of white tulle. A pink chiffon dance frock has skirt and bodice tucked horizontally at intervals of about three inches, and from under the tucks fall short loops of silver ribbon four inches apart. Ribbons appear in a girdle, peep out in a bow, a loop, or a floating end at some unexpected point. Knots and flowers are made of ribbon, or a single, soft band of it is pressed into service for color contrast. The Latest Craze. Gaulet gloves are the latest craze. These gloves are made of white chamois leather and also in all the tan shades. The gaulets of these gloves are deep and supple; they are drawn up over the coat or dress sleeves and they give a sporting, attractive appearance to the whole turnout. The Yellow Touch. A dash of yellow is being extensively used this season with blue, as sometimes in pipings or a wool flower tucked in the belt. woodwork was black oak The room looked a succession of openings and cross lines. Later the woodwork was painted to tone in exactly with the paper. shelves were put across one closed door to simulate a built-in bookcase. No heavy curtains were put at the windows to accent them, merely a soft, deep cream scrim. The room was transformed. Tailored Gowns. The extreme styles in tailored costumes strongly savor of the masculine. One costume of English tweed has a short, circular, flaring overskirt, below which extend ten inches of trousers. The long coat fits snugly to the figure in deep organ plaits. A waist coat of black and white silk with plings of plain white and "powertow" hat of black silk beaver, ornamented with a square silver buckle and a white quill, contributed the final touch of the extreme to this costume.

Care Bestowed on its Preparation Will Be Well Repaid by the Tastiness Which Is Its Characteristic When Well Seasoned. The eggplant is plentiful and at its best just now. Well seasoned and carefully cooked, it may give in many disguises many varieties to the menu. Many of the recipes given below are from southern France, where the eggplant is the favorite vegetable. When choosing an eggplant select one of medium size and firm, otherwise it may be too ripe and full of grains inside. However great the virtues of the eggplant may be, remember that by itself it is quite tasteless; so season and season well. **Eggplant** Salad.—Put in the oven one eggplant, five green peppers and two tomatoes. You will bake the tomatoes first, then the peppers, and the eggplant last. Gradually skin, grain and drain off the above vegetables. Use a silver knife. Arrange in a dish. On a moderate fire in a half cupful of olive oil fry a small onion cut into small pieces and half a cupful of olives stoned and cut into pieces. When the onion is slightly brown add everything to the dish. Salt and pepper to taste and add two tablespoonfuls of good wine vinegar. To be eaten cold. **Broiled Eggplant.**—Cut the eggplant in two lengthwise. Put in a marinate composed of two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one teaspoonful salt, one half teaspoonful of pepper and some parsley. Leave it to marinate for an hour or more. Broil and serve with the marinate. Fried and Au Gratin.—When you cut an eggplant into pieces for frying or other purposes be sure to sprinkle it with salt and let it stand under a weight for about two hours. Drain off the water, dry well and then fry. For the gratin cover with either tomato or white sauce and bake for from 15 to 20 minutes. For Fritters.—Soak the pieces two hours in milk; dry and fry, using the following recipe for fritter batter: One cupful flour, two teaspoonful of baking powder, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth cupful milk, two eggs, one tablespoonful lemon juice. Sift the dry ingredients; add the well-beaten eggs, lemon juice and milk. Beat well. Prepare a few hours ahead. Stuffed Eggplant.-Cut the eggplant lengthwise. Make incisions with a knife, salt and let stand for an hour. Drain off the water; cut the pulp and fry it for a few minutes in oil. Pound well; add four tablespoonfuls of pounded ham, a teaspoonful of parsley, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with crumbs, to which may be added some parmesan. Put over it a little oil and bake in an oiled pan for an hour. Of course you may use butter instead of oil, but the olive oil blends itself better with the eggplant. If instead of ham you use hashed mutton, cooked rice and a bit of garlic and pimento you may call this dish "eggplant a la Turcque." Eggplant and Tomatoes.-Peel the eggplants; cut lengthwise in pieces one half inch thick. Salt, let stand and dry. Put in a pan; cover with a well seasoned tomato sauce. Cover the pan and cook on a moderate fire for an hour. How to Split a Short Cake Almost every housewife knows how troublesome it is to split either short cake or a loaf cake without having it heavy and soggy, and especially is this when the cake is hot. I r ange in this way: As soon as the cake is taken from the oven I make a slight incision with sharp. knife where I want the cake divided. In this I insert a strong thread and by holding one end in each hand I draw the thread gently backward and forward until I have the cake divided to my satisfaction. Leg of Lamb. Get a leg of lamb, put plate in bottom of kettle, place leg of lamb on top, then dressing pinned up in cloth. Dip cloth in hot water, flour and place the dressing in the middle of cloth, tie or pin up tight. Place on top of lamb, boil until done, then press lamb and dressing together and slice when cold. Take the water lamb was boiled in, add one carrot, two onions and potatoes. Place one-fourth cupful of rice on stove to cook, add to stew just before serving. Jellied Veal. Materials.—Cold roast of veal, two cupfuls; one tablespoonful gelatin, seasoning. Utensils.—Breadpan, saucepan, meat grinder. Directions.—Stew pieces of roast in a little water until tender. Grind or chop meat and season slightly. Dissolve gelatin in one cupful of water in which meat was cooked; mix with meat and mold in breadpan. Chill and serve in slices. Creamed Chipped Beef Put one tablespoonful butter in the frying pan. When melted put in one-fourth pound chipped beef and fry until well browned, stirring often to keep from scorching. Add one pint milk. When it begins to boil thicken with one rounding tablespoonful flour dissolved in a little water. This makes the gravy a little brown. Try it and see if the flavor isn't better for frying the beef. To Dry a Sweater. Make a hammock of a piece of mosquito netting or any thin material. Hang outdoors if the sun is shining and lay the sweater on it. Draw the hammock out flat so the sweater will not be doubled up. It will never alter in shape or size when dried in this way. Hanging a sweater up in any other way pulls it out of shape or stretches it.
