THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 23 THIRTY-THIRD Y KOENIG MAY GIVE SECRETS OF PLOTS Has Already Made a Partial Confession to Government Officials. HOPES TO BE GRANTED IMMUNITY Believed Steamship Men, Financiers and Three or More Diplomats Were Directing the Activities of Koenig and Partners. New York City. — Paul Koenig, whose figure is said to shadow the men higher, up in the gigantic ship plots, has made overtures to government officials looking toward a confession. This was the startling information that came Thursday night from an official, source. The informant stated that the ostrich ship of the Yacht Insurance service in New York has already made a partial confession to representatives of the department of justice. Refuse to Discuss Case. Federal officials in New York refused to discuss the apparent change of front by Koenig. It was definitely established, however, that Koenig was in telephonic communication with the office of Capt. William M. O'Fley. The rumor of a confession arose on hour after Koenig and two of his alleged agents. Richard, Legendeecker andadmum Justice, were arranged before Federal Judge Mayo to plead to two indictments returned by the grand jury. Two indictments—each with five counts—were found against Koenig and one indictment against each of the others. Koenig was told that he faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of $20,000. This is said to have caused him to seriously consider making a full statement that would do much toward winning him immunity. The federal authorities believe that Koenig was as much a dummy as Leyducker and Justice. "They are certain that he can tear aside the vell of mystery that has surrounded the men who directed his activities. These include, the authorities believe, at least two millionaire steamship men, several financiers and three or more diplomats high in the service of a foreign power. Has Given Valuable Information. "Koenig has given us some information that has proven of value," said a United States official. "We know the knowledge that we know is his. He can give us legal evidence against the big men in the plots. He can reveal the hub of foreign propaganda here. He can tell us the identities of the men to whom he reported. Particularly, he is able to tell us to whom he turned over valuable documents which he took to Washington periodically." The three alleged German agents were indicted for violating the United States criminal code "by planning, preparing and setting on foot a military expedition" against the Dominion of Canada. A fine of $3,000 and imprisonment for three years, is the penalty upon each count. Lyndecker and Justice may be given 15 years in the federal penitentiary and forced to pay a fine of $15,000 each. JAP LINER TORPEDOED IN THE MEDITERRANEAN None of the Passengers or Crew Were Lost or Injured; One American Aboard Causes Worry to U. S. Officials. London, Eng.—The new Japanese liner Yasaka Maru, which was sunk in the eastern Mediterranean Tuesday by a submarine while the steamer was on her way from London to Japan, with 120 passengers and a crew of 160 aboard, was sent to the bottom without warning, according to a report received from Port Said from the agents of the owners. All of those on board the ship, including one American passenger, W. J. Leigh, were saved. The nationality of the submarine is not mentioned by the agents and previous reports referred to as sinking of the ship as done by either an Austrian or a German submarine. Washington, Dec. 24.—State department officials are gravely concerned over the report that an American citizen was aboard the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru, sunk by a submarine in the Mediterranean Tuesday. No official advice of the sinking of the vessel have been received here. Officials admitted that if the report is true that the vessel was torpedoed, without warning by a submarine flying the German flag it may create a delicate situation between this country and Germany again. Get Their Vote Back Columbus, O. — Through lapse of five years, the term for which they were distranchised, the right of suffrage has been automatically restored during December to about 2,000 male residents of Adams county, Ohio, according to calculations made by state officials. The development that elections in Adams county for years had been corrupt came in 1910 when wholesale indictments were returned in the common pleas court presided over by Judge A. Z. Blair at West Union. THE GAZETTE CAPT. WILLIAM S. SMITH Capt. William S. Smith, U. S. N., is holding down a new job created by Secretary of the Navy Daniels.

SIX PEOPLE KILLED AND MANY INJURED A 'Freak' Storm Sweeps Over New York and Vicinity, Doing a Great Deal of Damage to Property. New York City.-Six persons were killed and a score injured by the were killed and a score injured by the wild storm that swept Greater New York Sunday morning. The weather bureau men call it a "freak" storm. They say that a low barometric area from Virginia and a cold wave from the Lake Ontario region met over New York bay. Every degree and species of storm resulted. It blew a wilde gale. In the rain sheed, hailed and snowed. To make the program complete a brief but furious electrical storm broke at 6:20 a.m. Tremendous thunderings and the vivid chain lightning of a tropical outbreak followed. The storm's great fury came in the last hour. The gale blew 30 miles an hour. Then it died and at noon the storm moved backward, signs were hurled miles away and motor cars were overturned. On Riverside-dr the great investment houses rocked as though mined. The deaths in the city resulting from the gale all occurred in the morning while the blinding snow storm was at its height. A fireman was fatally injured while responding to an alarm. A woman was run over by a street car. Another woman collapsed and died in the street while battling against the wilder way to church. Scores of persons were more or less seriously injured. A flagman at *Tottleville, Staten Island,* was blown in front of a train and killed instantly. A bicycleist riding in a heavy rainstorm ran into an automobile at Minneapolis and was fatally injured. His wife, who, was riding with him, also suffered injuries from which she may die. An aged man fleed on an injury payment to the man and died of a fractured nail on his way to a hospital. A crowded tenement house in Pascale, N. J., was inrooked, as was a church in Brooklyn just before the morning service began. Would Buy the Lines. Columbus, O. — The Socialists of Columbus are preparing petitions for circulation to buy the property of the Columbus Street Railway Co., and anticipating that the city and the company will not be able to agree on the solution of the transfer system, which is about to undergo a general revslam. The company claims that the transfer privileges are now abused, people manipulating them so that they get virtually two rides for one fare. Robbbers Make a Good Haul Robbins Make a Good Hau! East Orange, N. J. — The home of Clifford Eagle and his bride of three weeks was robbed Christmas night of jewels worth $30,000. Vessel My A mystery. New York City — Fire, said by the police to have been of unpleasant origin, was discovered Sunday aboard the steamer Diamond of Newcastle, Eng, who she was loading with sugar at the foot of Warren-at, Brooklyn. The loss will be considerable. The fire will be burning in a dozen places at once in one hold. Firemen fought the fire an hour before they were extinguished. The Inchmoor was to have sailed Tuesday for British ports with 3,400 tons of sugar. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1916. THREE KILLED AND SCORES INJURED Passenger Trains on Pennsylvania Road Come Together With Fatal Results. Come Together Head-on and Two Engineers and One Fireman Die Instantly; the Towerman is Blamed for Accident. Urbana, O.—Three are known to be dead, more may have been killed, scores are injured, several fatality, it is believed, in a wreck here Monday night. Come Together Head-on. Two fast Pennsylvania flyers—No. 34 eastbound and No. 35 westbound—came together head-on, both trains were late and were traveling at high speed. Engineer Coffee of No. 35 and the engineer and fireman of No. 34 were instantly killed. The fireman of No. 35 is believed to be fatally hurt. Passengers on both trains were buried into heaps in a mass of struggling humanity. Ambulances were drawn to the scene and six or seven of those most seriously hurt were taken on a special car to a hospital in Plough. Steel Care Save Lives. The wreck is described as one of the worst in many years. Had not both trains been composed of all steel cars it is thought probable the death list would have mounted high. The force of the collision was so great numerous passengers suffered broken moses and broken teeth from being violently into the seats immediately in front of them. A car had been hit and a mail car on No. 34 left the rails and turned over. One of the nail clerks in the overturned car is one of the most seriously injured. It was at first reported that the interlocking switch at Simms Crossing, two miles east of St. Paris, O, failed to work and sent both trains in on the same track. O — Ferry Kolley, operator at tower near St. Paris, whose alleged failure to throw a switch caused the wreck of Pennsylvania trains, he became confused and forgot to throw, the second switch. LANSING AND MARSHALL ADDRESS DELEGATES Pan-American Congress Sessions Are Opened by Secretary of State and the Vice President. Washington, D. C.-Significant addresses by Secretary of State Lansing and Vice President Marshall presaging a closer political and commercial union between the republics of the western hemisphere marked the opening session of the second Pan-American scientific congress in the United States, building here Monday. The speakers hinted strongly at the probability of joint military action in the event of European aggression. Secretary Lansing, after discussing the cause for the enunciation of the Monroe doctrine and explaining what it meant, declared that the time had gone when it was surveyed with suspicion of the United States in the Latin American countries. He asserted the Monroe doctrine is the "national policy" of the United States, while Pan-Americanism is the "international policy." "The might of this country," said Mr. Lansing, "will never be exercised in a spirit of greed to wrest from a neighboring state its territory or possessions. The ambitions of this request but in the paths of peace and justice. Whenever and wherever we can we will stretch forth a hand to those who need help: "If the sovereignty of a sister republic is menaced from over the seas, the power of the United States, and I hope and believe, the united power of the American republics will constitute a power and power of pendence and integrity of their neighbor from injust invasion or aggression." Vice President Marshall, who spoke for the president, declared that the ideal of Pan-Americanism should be prevent unjust interference in the affairs of the American nations. He said the United States would be the first to resent such interference with any country of the Americas. He emphasized the importance of this country for war." continued Mr. Marshall. "Not that I want war, but I know myself and I have no way of measuring other men and I am not willing to have some ruffian interference with things which I believe to be my rights." Schoolboy a Firebug. Ashbukla, O.—The cause of two mysterious night fires which threatened to destroy the Jefferson high school was cleared up Monday when Robert Smith, 17, senior in Jefferson high school, confessed to setting them. Young Smith said he set the fires in a spirit of revenge because Claude Beagle, high school principal and instructor in chemistry, did not give him as high grades as he deserved. The boy first fired the building in November on Thanksgiving night and again Sunday night. THE COUNTRY IS VERY RICH Liberia. Africa, Should Never Be Forced to Borrow. MAJORS YOUNG AND BALLARD The Credit Due the Latter—Both Now in This Country—A Long Delayed But an Extremely Interesting Letter—English and Germans "Giving Everything." Nyanaa Promier Station, Harper, Capitol Park, Liberia, Africa, April 19, 1932. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of your paper dated Feb. 15th, 1913, and among other editorials was one about "Liberian Strugles." The heading and photo of my dear friend and comrade (Major Young) naturally attract attention. In the article I noticed that Major Young alone received all the glory for the recent victory of the Liberians over the Kroos. Now this is not intended to detract a particle of the glory that is certainly due Maur Young for his able efforts in Liberia's behalf, but is intended to give the glory to the person whom it is due: Major Wilson Ballard, L. F. F. Mr. Editor, I am going to give you a short sketch of the events that led to Major Ballard (who is an American) being in command of the Liberian forces engaged in that conflict March 21st, 1912, Wilson Ballard of Ky. Arthur A. Brown of Chicago and Richard H. Newton, Jr., of Baltimore. He is in the office of the Third Assistant in the office of the Washington, D. C. For one year to assist in reorganizing the Liberian Frontier Force. Major Chas. Young (then captain) had previously been designated by the war department as military attaché to Liberia, for the ostensible purpose of assuming charge of the reorganization scheme. Major Young was given carte blanche in seizing his assistants the three that he finally set sail and reached Monrovia, May 1st, 1913. I will not go into personal details, etc., but just mention the early struggles that we faced when the war commissioned a major and placed in command of the force, and Brown were commissioned captains. Major Young acting as headmaster at Harper, Cape Town, Brown was ordered to Bassa to quell trouble between native factions, Newton was ordered to take charge of the Liberian-France boundary, with headquarters at Harper, Cape Town, and to throw to throw everything and to Riveresc and fight the Kroo war. The whole war was fought under his command and direction. It was simulated by him. There are no telephones or telegraphs, and no advice could be given him, good or bad. He simply had to use his own judgment. The result was that hostilities had ceased. Major Ballard was handled from the beginning. No off-ers! and only 82 men to fight over 2,000 natives. I say let's, thank God that he was in good enough to get out of hostilities and had ceased. Major Young is doing splendid work and deserves great credit, he is the other young man. He has a 12-year career and Newton are signed for only one year at a time. Major Young, as the world knows, is the only Colored man that holds field rank in the U. S. Army. He is familiar to all, so will attend. Major Hallard's first military experience was acquired in 1838 as an officer of the 9th Ohio Infantry; afterwards he served as 9th U. S. Vol. Infantry, Capt. Brown served in the 9th Ohio Infantry, during the Spanish-American war, and after command of cadets at Wilberforce Heights, He was March 20th, 1913, and has returned to America. Capt. Newton served in the 9th Cavalry, troops L and C, and in the 10th Cavalry, troops D and first lieutenant. All together his army service is 13 years and 4 months. Liberia is just now on the threshold of a new life. Arrangements have been completed with an international qualification of bankers. For that purpose a customs, receivability was to be formed with an American (white) as receiver general and one English, French and German as assistant receivers. They were also to request the added three americans (Colored) to reorganize their Frontier Force. That is how the above mentioned gentlemen came to be in the employ of the Liberian government. It is really a mystery to me. My army for their government to borrow. It is really one of the richest countries that I have ever visited (and I have been in quite a few). There is palm oil, palm nuts, rubber, ivory, etc. in abundance. Let the English and Germans come in and get everything they simply accept a minor clerkship. Find $500,000 Hidden in Stove.

MOTON AS RACE LEADER Career of Tuskegee Institute's New Principal. Successor to the Late Dr. Booker Talliafero Washington States. His Ancestry Back to 1735—Born at Pleasant Shade, Va., and Educated at the Hampton Institute. By W. ANTHONY AERY. New York, Major Robert R. Moton of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., was chosen at a meeting held in this city on Monday afternoon, Dec. 20, to succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as president of the Tuskegee Institute. The appointment was made by a committee of five, who were designated by the Tuskegee board of trustees. They were Seth Low, chairman of the Tuskegee trustees; Frank Trumbull, chairman of the directors of the Chess appaake and Ohio railway; Elgar A. Bancroft, a Chicago attorney; W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, and Victor H. Hulme, the committee issued this statement. "The committee has by unanimous consent appointed Major R. R. Moton to be principal of Tuskegee institute MAJOR ROBERT RUSSA MOTON. after his installation, which will take place at the commencement next May. Since the meeting of the trustees all the members of the committee have made very thorough investigation of the subject in all its aspects, and they have concluded that by the selection made the vehicles, doors and attitude of the institute will continue unchanged. They are assured that this appointment will receive hearty cooperation in every quarter. "In taking this action the committee has not been unmindful of the long devotion and of the many qualifications of Emmett J. Scott for the position. The problem to be dealt with is a many sided one, and it has seemed wise to seek a solution of it that will resolve the Tuskegee mother forceful personal problem. Robert Russia Moton, who succeeds the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute and who is known to thousands of white and colored people as "Major Moton because he has been commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute for nearly twenty-five years, tells in good faith this simple, graphite notebook about the year 1753 there was a fierce battle between two of the stronger tribes on the west coast of Africa. The chief of one of these was considered the most powerful of his time. He succeeded in overpowering his weaker rival and scavenged and captured a great many of his land. This chief delivered to his son a dozen of these unfortunate survivors to be sold to an army. The young African chief delivered these men to the captain of his pay in trinkets. He was then asked to go out to the ship he saw to see this wonderful sailing vessel. After he had inspected the ship he was asked by the captain to dine. He said that they gave him some nice food to eat and some strange things to drink, all of which he enjoyed so much he fell asleep. When he awoke he was told that he had inspected the ship he himself had sold, and the vessel was headed toward the United States." Major Moton was born in 1877 in Annelia county, Va., and spent his early years at Pleasant Shade, known as the Vaughan plantation, in Prince Edward county, Va. There he made Willie, the planter's son, his ideal and copied the young man's language, walk and dress, as a worker in the plantation house he had acre and leeward and was enunciated to learn. In October 1885 Robert K. Moton entered Hampton institute. When asked if he was afraid of hard work he assured the commandant that he was not. He was assigned to the sawmill where he learned to fire the huge boilers and to run a Cotton engine under the direction of an ex Confederate officer. During his work year he was constant in learning by doing. It was a peril of migration into an entirely new life, new people and new duties. "When I entered, Hamilton," says Major Motion, "I had no particular plan as to what I should do when I should have completed the course. As time went on I was more and more inclined to the legal profession. Most of my teachers advised against it, however, that is, they raised the question whether legal advice was the greatest need of struggling people. General Arnold thought I could be of more use to my people by remaining at Hamilton and helping to prepare teachers. The result was that at the close of the school in June, 1850, I accepted the position of drilling and assistant to the commandant of cadets. Before his graduation from Hamilton Major Motion spent one year as a shepherd in Cumberland county, Va., where he taught the boys to drill and the girls to take gymnastics, where he taught his people to love and appreciate the plantation songs and where he taught the older children and parents how to make life more worth while. Promptness, alertness, self-control and resilience required him, and these were Hamilton's gifts to this useful and safe gift leader. GERMANY PREPARE PEACE CONDITION Terms Will Soon Be Announced, According to a Report From Vienna.

Germany, Switzerland, via Pa- dispatch to the Tribune in Vienna says: Ammunition is expected in Vien- shortly with the full conditions, un- which the central powers will acco- pleate. After discussing the terms with thearlion-Burian, the Austrian eign minister, the conditions will officially communicated to the alli- Germany suggesting that the f- conference be held at the Hague. Meanwhile telegrams from Bue- rest declared Field Marshal Von Mant In recent years Major Moton has toured a number of the southern states with Dr. Booker T. Washington and has addressed thousands of white and colored people on the value of working together in the spirit of mutual helpfulness, for the improvement of community and race conditions. Major Moton's philosophy is founded on common, sense and experience. He has constantly urged us to work together on all questions of race uplift, to lead clean lives, to be progressive in business, to give an honest day's work for a day's pay, to build better houses, homes and schools, and above all, to work with their white friends. Major Moton has wisely and skillfully interpreted for white men and women the fundamental problems which relate to the masses of colored people who live side by side with them. Moton has always clearly the attitude of the most thoughtful southerners toward Major Moton and his constructive policies. "I have heard more than one southerner say that Major Moton was the most thoughtful and strongest representative of the Negro race that had ever met. Others have said to me that he is the best speaker, white or black, that they have ever heard, and yet, he does not claim to be a speaker at all, that they have heart and a mainly white, which at times vince you that he has a message worth while and is not afraid to give. "Major Moton has held a most delicate position at (hampton). In the school community there are pure Negroes, militants, Indians, northern white people, southern white people, and so on. The elevation of the race. It is no easy matter to harmonize all these types, and yet so race is his tact and so true is his judgment that each group gives him enthusiastic support. Dr. Booker T. Washington has said of him: "It has been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have known. I have known that he could imprint. It would be worth a trip to Hampton to know Major Moton. If more of our southern white people could see him, so calm, so unmistakable, so suppressing and yet so efficient and thorough, they would never say again that the Negro race could not procreate a pure blood leader?" Moton said of him: "My larger Education" said of Major Moton: "Major Moton is one of the best read men and one of the most interesting men to talk with that I have ever met." Education has not spilled him. It has not enlisted or narrowed him in his affections. He has not learned to hate or distrust any class of people, and he is just as ready to hate or distrust any class of people as to a black man, to a southern man as to a northern man. "Major Moton knows by intuition northern white people and southern white people. At the Hampton Institute they have white teachers and colored students, and northern white people and northern white people; besides, they have colored students and Indian students. Major Moton knows how to keep his hands on all these different elements, to see" to It that friction is kept down and that it is not slippery. It is a brilliant job, but Major Moton knows how to negotiate it." MOURN FOR WASHINGTON: The Late Tuskogee Principal Had Matchless Career, Says "Life." "Life" speaks of her. Broker T. Wash- ing. ington in the following glowing terms: "Very little is necessary to be said about Booker Washington". He is the most lasting American who has died in 2015. He was once a prominent legal office, never influenced an election that is known if, never yielded to the decision that salvation comes by votes, but where shall one match in a contemporary career the sum of his accomplishment in thirty-five years for this country". Booker Washington. It is to lament that his years were not more, but they suffered for a prodigious work. North Carolina Society's Reception. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina, a large mutual benefit organization in Brooklyn, will hold its twenty-fifth annual meeting in Jan. 7. The society is composed of resident North Carolinians and is doing much good. THE UNICORN SACRED AND SACRED GERMANY PREPARES PEACE CONDITIONS Terms Will Soon Be Announced, According to a Report From Vienna. PREPARING FOR EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN Trains Arc Reported to Be Conveying Ammunition and Guns to Constantinople; Regard Allies as Safety Coopered Up in Saloniki. Geneva, Switzerland, via Paris. A dispatch to the Tribune from Vienna says: "Chancellor Von Bettmann-Hollow is expected in Vienna shortly with the full conditions, under which the central powers will accept peace. After discussing the terms with Bifuron-Von Burlan, the Austrian foreign minister, the conditions will be officially communicated to the allies. Germany suggesting that the first conference be held at The Hague." Meanwhile telegrams from Bucharest declare Field Marshal Von Mackensen is directing preparations for a powerful expedition against Egypt. Numbers of trains are reported to be conveying ammunition and guns to Constantinople and other preparations are being pushed on a big scale. Saloniki Drive Off. It is reported that the central powers are inclined to regard off huge forces at Saloniki as safely cooped up, useless and expensive, and that, therefore, it would be an advantage to the central powers to let it remain there. From many isolated fronts come reports of preparations for spring campaigns. Along the Dvinsk and Bug lines the Germans are said to be constructing colossal fortifications equipped with heavy artillery, and with machine guns and automatic rifles supplied in unlimited quantities. Russians Attacking. Vienna reports the Russians attacking fiercely on the Dniester and in Bessarabia. The Austrian communication speaks of the Russians advancing in serried lines 15 or 16 deep, which the artillery broke up, with huge Russian artillery. On the western front the German official communication admits a French advance on Hirzstein, but gives no details. There also has been further activity in the Vosges district, with intense artillery fighting along the whole front of Hartmann-Wellerkopf.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1916. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the endure to do ourUBture to the understand it."—Auburn Lincoln. Happy New Year, to all! It was Grover Cleveland who said he had Congress "on his hands." Information from Washington indicates that Woodrow Wilson can say he has Congress on his neck. Mr. Bryan continues to protest his "personal loyalty" to the President, and at the same time he sticks the knife into the President's policies. It is plainly not a case of "love me, love my dog." Those who know best Major Robert R. Morton, the new principal of Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school, speak in the warmest terms of praise of him and his exceptional ability for the position. This is encouraging. The last Democratic convention to be held at St. Louis renominated Grover Cleveland—who was defeated at the enauling election. The next convention at the same place will renominate Woodrow Wilson—who will likewise be defeated. One of the jolliest Thanksgiving dinners on record this year was held in the city of Brooklyn, in the club house of the Progressive Club of the Fourteenth Assembly District. It was in celebration of the club's return to the Republican party, in token of which the club has voted to change its name from Progressive to Republican. T. P. Riddle of Lima, the director of the "Buckeye Corn Boys' tour," a few weeks ago, who persisted in his determination to have them see that infamous photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," while they were in Philadelphia, in spite of Gov. Frank B. Willis' request that he not do so, has been dismissed from the position in the State Agricultural department he held. Good! Mr. Riddle is a democrat, securing the appointment under the Cox administration. It was "the old reliable" Gazette that exposed the true inwardness of Riddle's reprehensible conduct in the "Birth of a Nation" matter at Philadelphia. The Literary Digest has completed a poll of Republican editors, senators and representatives of the country on the man and the issue in 1916. Over 700 replies were received to the questions propounded. Of this number 249 declared in favor of Root, 152 for Justice Hughes, 144 for Sherman, 108 for Borah, 77 for Cummins, 58 for Fairbanks and 53 for Weeks. There were also 51 who favored Taft and 47 for Roosevelt. Sixteen were cast for Johnson of California. The Digest and the others seem to have forgotten or overlooked the Ohio candidate—Burton. Mrs. Patricia Robison, a friend of the race, a former resident of Ohio, and for years a reader of the "old reliable" Gazette, to which she has contributed many excellent articles, has a strong appeal elsewhere in this paper that speaks for itself. Let us hear from others of our many readers along the same line. We want to know how our people, as well as others, feel toward our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's probable candidacy. Are you ready to do your clear DUTY toward him if he enters the race for delegate-at-large from Ohio to the next Republican national convention to convene in Chicago, June 7, this year? CREDITING DEMOCRATS WITH WAR ORDER PROSPERITY. With a remarkable mixture of facts and fancy and a marvelous disregard for consistency, the Washington Post declares that millions of dinner palms that were empty under Republican administration are now full and overflowing under the Democratic President and after four years of a Democratic control of federal legislation; also that "no party ever in power in this country has produced such prosperity as now exists." Those two declarations are made in an editorial which declares that "the decision of the Allies to carry on the war has added stimulus to war orders," that the crest of the wave of orders has not yet passed, that there will be fully two millions more men on each side in line of battle by next March, than there were last March and that the Allies will draw their supplies from the United States. Thus in the same article in which the editorial assumes that the Democratic party has produced such prosperity as now exists, it points to the real cause for the partial return of prosperity in some parts of the United States. Its declaration that many millions of dinner pails were empty from 1907 until a Democratic administration filled them will make Boards of Associated Charities and the managers of public bread lines in our cities wonder why there was such an enormous demand for their assistance in 1913 and 1914, as compared with the previous years when these many millions of dinner pails were supposed to be empty. And yet the Post is undoubtedly correct in saying that "no party ever in power in this country has produced such prosperity as now exists." Certainly the Democratic party has not produced such prosperity as now exists. Nor will the Republican party claim that it has produced such prosperity as. Under Republican economic policies, prosperity was distributed throughout the United States and was enjoyed by every industry and all of them is enjoyed primarily by the beneficiaries of war orders, and secondarily by those who derive their trade from war order enterprises and their employees. This is a war order prosperity, and such a prosperity was not produced by any party. It was produced by European monarchs who precipitated a conflict unprecedented in the history of the world. It is unnecessary for any facts or arguments to be adduced to answer conclusively the assumption of the Post that the Democratic party is entitled to credit for the kind of prosperity that exists today, for the Post says in the same article that business "records that were thought impossible of attainment six months ago are made in the ordinary course of affairs today." Six months ago we had suffered two years of Democratic administration. The first year and a half of that administration was characterized by industrial depression throughout the length and breadth of the United States. The outbreak of the European war cut off imports and created a new demand for exports, thus saving American industry from utter destruction. Even so late as six months ago we could not fully realize to what extent the European war would re-establish the industrial enterprises which had been demolished by Democratic economic policies. OBITUARY. Baltimore, Md.—Prof. James M. Gregory, a well known educator, died Prof. Jas. Monroe Gregory last week at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins, 1532 Drudl Hill avenue, this city, following a long illness. He was born in January, 21, 1854, of an early age his parents moved to the village O, where he attended the school. He also attended school in Indiana and Chicago, returning to Cleveland where he again entered school. Later he became a student in the preparatory department of Oberlin College, was a bright pupil and soon became a general favorite. The late Gen. Benj. F. Butler succeeded in getting the faculty of Oberlin to recommend him for a cadetship at West Point. President Johnson, yielding to the prejudices of the last president, to be treated by the Gen. O. O. Howard, founder of Howard University, took a liking to him and told him that if he completed his education at Howard University, he would appoint him an instructor there. He was graduated therefrom in 1872, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. He was immediately appointed a tutor in the preparatory department, and later became teacher of Latin and mathematics in the college department. He filled the position of dean for some years, the teacher employed by the Freedman's bureau, spending his vacations, while a student in this work. He was active as a young man in the civic and political life of the District of Columbia, and was one of those who protested against separate schools. He served as a member of the Board of Education. He was president of the American Association of Educators of Colored Youth, which met here in 1894. After leaving Howard University, he became principal of the School. He subsequently served as his daughter, three sons and several grandchildren survive. Funeral services were conducted at his daughter's, last week, Monday morning by Rev. Harvey Johnson and final services were held in the Peoples' Congregational church, Washington, D. C., conducted by Rev. Francis J. Grimke. The pastor of the church, Rev. James Francis Gregory, the second son of the Professor, is the husband of former Miss Edna Anderson, a public school teacher in Cleveland, years ago. The late Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, as Miss Spelmil, was one of the Professor's school teachers in Cleveland. Prof. Gregory was a personal friend, of many years' standing, of the editor of The Gazette. His sons and daughter have the heartfelt sympathy of thousands, throughout the country. Jack Wants to Come Home Jack Wants to Come Home.

Columbus, O.-Those of our people here, most active in local politics, who were so wrought up as a result of the appointment some weeks ago, of Wilbur King, Esq., of this city, to a position in the state's "loan shark" department, to be the head of it, are still mighty sore and are not at all backward in saying so. it seems that Attorney King had lead them to believe that his practice was such as to make it impossible for him to accept any position that carried a salary of less than four or five thousand dollars a year. The position he accepted, a few weeks ago, only pays $2500 a year. Our people here felt and still feel that in view of his legitimate position to have accepted the job but should have left it open for one of them. He gets around this by saying that he was assured that he would have to give only a part of his time to the position, with the result that he can devote the rest of his time to his law practice. However this may be the fact remains that Mr. King's appointment has apparently given satisfaction to him and created no end of ill-feeling among of all of the other local politicians of color. Gov. Mike Duggan has made any appointments at all of members of the race has added much "muel" to the "fire." Among those most outspoken in their criticisms of Attorney King for accepting the position are Robert Allen, Ralph Tyler and others.

HAMPTON SINGERS READY FOR TOUR OUTLINE OF THE PROGRAM Friends of the Institution In the North Are Arranging For Large Meetings In Several Cities—Public Interest In the School Increases From Year to Year. For a good many years groups of officials and students from the famous Hampton (V.a.) institute have made annual tours to the north and east in the interest of the institution. These tours have become very popular, and the public has so enjoyed the program of the students' songs and the addresses of the officials and other friends of the school that the annual visit of these good folks is looked forward to with great interest. Mr. Sydney Dodd Frissell, executive secretary of the National Hampton association, has made the following announcement of the 1916 tour: "For the benefit of the public and the friends of Hampton and the associations which have contributed to the success of campaigns in the north we are giving the itinerary of Hampton's representatives as planned for the coming January, 1916. "The allied friends of the school in Philadelphia, Boston and New York are making preparations for the largest demonstration in behalf of Hampton that has been held in many years. We are appealing to all students of the school to aid in assuring a successful journey when the shingers and speakers carry Hampton's message to the north. "Meetings have been arranged tentatively at Springfield and Worcester, Mass., for Jan. 5 and 6 and at Providence, R. L., for the 7th and 8th. The schedule then proceeds with meetings at Taunton and Boston, Jan. 9; at Wheaton college, Norton, on the 10th and at the Allen school and at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., in West Newton, on the 11th. "On the 12th will be a big meeting in Symphony hall, Boston, and on the same day the quartet will sing at Miss Coit's school in Cambridge. There are engagements on the 13th at the Middlesex school in Concord and St. Mark's school in Southboro, at the Groton school on the 14th and Milton academy on the 15th. If possible a meeting will be arranged for the 16th in one of the churches among the colored people in Boston. There will be a church meeting at Waltham on that day also and at Dana hall, Wellesley. "The famous preparatory schools for boys at Exeter and Andover will see and hear the Hampton representatives on Jan. 22 and 23. If possible there will be meetings in Hartford and Rockville, Conn., on the 24th, and one will probably be arranged for New Haven on the 26th. Smith college will be visited Jan. 25, Stamford, Conn., on the 27th and Miss Beard's school in Orange, N. J., on the 29th. Jan. 30 is left open for Brooklyn and Montclair. "The Carnegie hall meeting will be held in New York Jan. 31, and schools in that city will be visited on the same day and on Feb. 1. The Hamptonians will then turn their faces homeward, holding meetings in Wilmington, Del., Feb. 2 and 3 and remaining in Philadelphia and vicinity until the 9th, when a large meeting will be held in Witherspoon hall." WASHINGTON'S ELOQUENCE How the Late Educator Impressed Judge Hoar at Concord, Mass. In speaking of the eloquent and practical manner in which the late Dr. Booker T. Washington presented the claims of the Tuskegee institute to the public Judge Hoar says: "Washington came to Concord on one occasion to present the claims of his school to our philanthropic people. It was early in his career, and he was not widely known. I went, as all my neighbors went, intending when the collection should be taken to put in what loose change I had in my pocket. "Well, I was astonished at the man's self respecting dignity, by his wide knowledge, by his practical understanding of the great needs of his race and of the way to meet these needs, and I was captivated by his simple eloquence. "The result was that when the collection plate was passed I not only gave all the loose change I had in my pocket, as I had intended, but the money of larger denominations in my pocketbook, and in addition to that I wrote a promise to pay on a slip of paper and dropped it on the plate, which obligated me to give all my spare income for six months to come." Miss Baptist Heads Gymnasium Work. Miss Madeline Baptist, public school teacher in Indianapolis, Ind. is also the director of the gymnasium at the Young Women's Christian association. She is a young woman of liberal education and evinces to a marked degree thorough race pride. It is one of the hopeful signs of progress among us to see our young people of culture and refinement working to lift up large groups in the cities to a higher plane of activity and usefulness.

Smith Continues Fight on Bace Segregation In Ohio Cleveland, O.-The editor of the Gazette of this city, Hon. Harry C. Smith, has been "stirring up the animals" again—those holdover state officials under Governor Willis' administration who seem determined not only to continue discrimination against Afro-Americans in certain state institutions, but also continue insults along the line started many months ago and temporarily discontinued for a short time at the request of the governor on suggestion of Editor Smith. Recently the latter received several letters from the governor, which he has published in his paper, showing his most recent fight (the third one) to compel the secretary of the state medical board to discontinue his demand that applicants to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery in Ohio should send to the board their photographs. He was compelled several months ago to discontinue asking that said applicants state their color in answering questions propounded on the board's application blanks, which it furnished on request. Photograph requests were to supply what the elimination of the "color of the skin" request from the application blank made it impossible for the secretary of the board to get. Mr. Smith wrote the governor, when objecting to the color and photograph requests of the Ohio medical board through its secretary, that such a course "savers so much of the most repreensible one being followed at Washington in the case of applicants for positions under the civil service, the purpose of which is so obvious," that it should not be tolerated in Ohio of all the states in the Union. Governor Frank B. Willis agreed with him and promptly put an end to the discrimination along that line recently. The governor has, too, replaced T. P. Riddle, director of the "Ohio corn boys' special" party, for insisting upon the latter seeing a certain photo play while visiting in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, contrary to his urgent request that this be not done. The governor even threatened to withdraw his promise to deliver an address in Philadelphia to the "Ohio corn boys" and their excursionist guests on that day if the trip to view the photo play was not stricken from the official program prepared by Mr. Riddle. It was taken from the program, all right, but after the governor left Columbus on the 8 p. m. train Director Riddle saw to it, as he wrote Hon. Harry C. Smith under date of Dec. 4, 1915, that all who wished to do so saw the photo play. The editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette has renewed his light on the segregation started in two state institutions a couple of years ago—the Girls' Industrial home at Delaware and the Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans' home at Xenia—and has called upon the aggressive and brilliant governor of Ohio to put an end to this insulting, disgraceful and unnecessary discrimination, with splendid prospects of favorable results. Ideal Metal for Yachts Monel metal, an alloy recombining nickel, will probably replace steel and bronze for the construction of yachts.

Instead of treating effects of the diseases she treats the causes, eliminating the same and having the scalp in healthy condition that can be maintained by using her Hair Tonic and Invigorator, according to her direction.

New York City. — The government Tuesday made its most decisive move against foreign propagandists and their American allies. Eight men were indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of violating the Sherman anti-trust law. Seven of them are Americans. All are prominent. Three have held high office under federal or state governments. All of the men named were members of Labor's National Peace council. The indictment writes a new chapter in the romantic life of Capt. Franz Von Hintelen, friend of the kaiser and a master marplot. The eight men are charged with seeking to foment labor troubles in munitions manufactories. They are accused of seeking to bribe labor leaders. The penalty for the crime charged is one year in prison, a fine of $5,000, or both Sensational as were the developments, the federal authorities say that others that are to follow will dwarf them in public interest. Hundreds of men may be drawn into the investigation, which is to be continued by a special grand jury next week. The eight men named in the indictment are: Frank Euchanan of Chicago, a member of congress, labor leader and former president of Labor's National Peace council. H. Robert Fowler, well-known lawyer, ex-congressman from an Illinois district and general counsel for the council. Frank S. Monnett, ex-attorney general of the state of Ohio, international lawyer, chairman of the council's resolution committee and former business associate of H. Robert Fowler. David Lamar, alias Lanauer, alias David H. Lewis, commonly known as "the wolf of Wall-st." At present under sentence of two years in the Atlanta penitentiary on a charge of impersonating a congressman. Henry B. Martin, well known Washington lobbyist, member of the executive committee of the council. Herman Schultes, vice president of Martin's anti-trust league, also well known lobbyist. John C. Taylor of Orange, N. J., who succeeded Congressman Buchanan as president of the council, vice president of the Cigarmakers' union; prominent in labor circles. Franz Von Rintelen, alleged to have expended huge sums of money through Lamar and others among defendants. Lamar and several of the other defendants surrendered themselves today and pleaded before Judge Learned Hand in the federal district court. Others among the indicted men may go before the nearest United States commissioner and give bail, returnable at a convenient date in this city. "We have just made a beginning," said a high United States official. "The financiers who were associated with Von Rintelen in this and other propaganda are due to be unmasked. We have traced fabulous sums of money expended by Von Rintelen during that daring adventurer's four months' stay in this country. One account that Von Rintelen had was in the Transatlantic Trust Co., in Williams-st. The Austrian consul, Von Nuber, is a director in this company. For a time Von Rintelen had his offices in the same building and all reports on the strike propaganda was made to him there. The account of which I speak was for $500,000. Within four months this shrunk to $25,000. Von Rintelen had other accounts, too." Hit, Climbs on Engine Massillon, O. — While running through a heavy snowstorm at a rate of 35 miles an hour, about three miles east of Massillon, Monday night, the crew in the cab of a Pennsylvania freight train engine heard a tapping on the front window and investigating found William Conway, all but exhausted and frozen, lying on the running board. His condition was reported at the city hospital as critical. It is believed Conway was struck and picked up on the pilot after the train left Canton. Aged Minister Is Dead. Sandusky, O. — Rev. George H. Peeke, 83, widely known as an author and prominent a quarter of a century ago as an advocate of prohibition, died in Providence hospital Tuesday. In the early '60s Mr. Peeke, as pastor of the First Congregational church or South Bend, Ind., had Schuler Colfax as a deacon. In 1882 he came to Sandusky as pastor of the First Congregational church, and eight years later was transferred to a Congregational pastorate at Columbus, where he remained until 1895. GARMENTS FOR BABY COLLECTION THAT IS SURE TO PLEASE ANY MOTHER. Almost Impossible That She Should More. The Can you think of any more acceptable birthday gift to a mother than just a useful and dainty collection of garments for the baby? There can never be too many of them, for a child wears out its clothes so quickly and outgrows them as fast, and it is a comfort for the neat mother to have a large wardrobe for her little one. When you plan making presents to a mother, don't embroider a pincushion, or decorate a laundry bag, or add to her collection of whiskroom holders—unless she is not near enough to you to be able to accept a more useful gift. Just think how you would like some pretty little garment for your little one and make one or a set for your friend. For a child of the age of one and a half to three years the best materials for making this wardrobe would be nainsook or cambric for the underwear; the same of fine linen for the dress and a nice quality of channel for the little sacque. Pink and blue flannel are the favorite tints for little ones' sacques, because white, while most fashionable for young children, often turns yellow when washed, and it is not always easy to clean white flannel with gasoline. Besides, dry cleaning is expensive. The dress is nothing more than the customary yoke and skirt for small children, but how attractive the bit of a yoke may be made with delicate embroidery and narrow Valenciennes lace; or how sweet a little needlework looks upon a child's garment! There is so little to sew and the effect is so charming that one has all the fun of making a doll's garment with the 1 Child's Dainty Dress. added pleasure of knowing that it will be of service. The underwear should be just as fine and simple as possible, and only a narrow frill at the bottom is permissible, or an embroidery scallop, or a hemstitched or featherstitched hem. If you cannot embroider the edges of the flannel sacque there are a number of small braids used for purposes of applique that look as well as lovely as hand embroidery.—Washington Star. MUST SHOW THE FOREHEAD Present Fashions Absolutely Forbid the Concealment of That Part of the Feminine Face. And now you must have a forehead! The edict has gone forth from the councils of fashion, and if you are to be countenanced at all in the fashion world your forehead—"smooth, full-polished, bright and high"—must be as visible as your nose or your chin. Foreheads have always been considered good form with old Mother Nature; she'd never think of asking anyone to get on without that very necessary feature, but it's different with the Mother of Modes—for years she's been concealing lovely woman's forehead behind bangs and ringlets and fluffs and such. Now all of a sudden she's changed her mind. She's made allies with the old masters, and she enlisted the hairdressers and between them they've brought the forehead back to its place of glory. For the new styles in hairdressing women are studying the old masters—Gainsborough, whose women owe half their beauty to high marble. STIFFNESS MUST BE THERE Fashion Demands That the Evening Frocks, at Least, Shall Give Evidence of its Presence. When of tuile the evening dress of the season has a foundation of metallic tissue and all is worn over a petticoat that is stiffened, in fact hoops are with us for evening wear, at least. These diaphanous frocks are elaborated with paillettes and wonderful embroideries. When not fashioned of tulle they are invariably made of velvet, and the velvets are the wonderful new velvet of Rodier, that *agician* of the materials. Other gowns are composed of metallic brocades with much use of embroidery braids, paillettes and silk floss; while there is a use of faille, the majority of the frocks for evening are invariably of tulle or velvet. The command of Moses to the children of Israel to "go forward" had more real virtue than his ten commandments. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1918.

And One of the Most Popul innovations is That of the "Chin Chin Collar Which Is Shown Here. The Hat Is of White Veloura Trimmed With Black Seal. white foreheads; the Watteau women whose "eyebrows like aerial bows" were never concealed by curls, or the fair maids and dames of the directive period, when Tortez and other noted painters drew just the tiniest scalp of hair down upon the forehead but with the effect of emphasizing its whiteness and smoothness, rather than velling its beauty. GET THE RIGHT NECKWEAR Its Appropriateness Has the Effect of Making or Marring Any Kind of Costume. Starched linen and pique collars are attractive below round, youthful faces, but they are hopelessly trying on thin-faced women and on women past the freshness of youth. With these childish collars are worn knotted ties of soft silk in striped black and white, or dotted black and white effects; or of crepe de chine in somber shadings. The effect with one of the mannishly tailored suits is very smart indeed, but women of mature years do best to confine themselves to a more formal type of collar, of handkerchief lawn or batiste, touched with a little hand embroidery or finished with hemstitching. A collar of some sort, however, must turn over on the dark tailored coat, to give it the correct and up-to-date air. Small snap fasteners attached under the collar and to the collar of the coat will hold these detachable bits of neckwear in trim position. USE FOR THE OLD RAINCOAT Can Be Utilized to Make Satisfactory Bathing Suit for Use Next Summer. Save your old silk raincoat to make a nice bathing suit for next summer. Cut the blouse and skirt from the best part and make the bloomers from what is left over, or from mohair. Trim it with a bright braid and make a tie and cap from the spare pieces. Another use for that old coat is to make it into waterproof bags which are very handy for carrying rubbers or slippers to school this winter. These bags are made in the shape of envelopes and are half a yard long and nearly as wide. Bind all around with tape and fasten with a snap. At the top and at each end fasten braid a yard long. This makes it convenient to sling the bag over the shoulder and carry in this manner. Gold Is Worn. A very attractive evening gown of cream silk net has a flounce of gold lace. The same is used to form flowing sleeves. A gold cord encircles the waist and is slipped through lots embroidered in gold thread. The dress is very short, and really calls for a pair of silk stockings and slippers to match. On afternoon gowns the gold note is prominent. When used in connection with the popular chocolate brown it shows up to great advantage. Buttons of the bright color are used frequently to carry out the gold feature. Many of them are crocheted and are run through with gold threads. For Street Costumes Gros de Londres, a heavier fallie silk, is largely used for street costumes, and some exquisite tints are shown in this weave. Among them some of the loveliest are sapphire blue, royal blue, silver gray, citron, royal purple, mole and brown mole, nubia brown, taupe, mushroom color and mysterious green, a very dark shade with an olive tinge. WEAR BAND UNDER THE CHIN SUDDEN CHANGE IN MILLINERY IS DISTRESSING. High-Crowned Hat, It Would Appear, is to Be Replaced by Headgear That Goes to the Other Extreme. The fact that small turbans have come into fashion suddenly and have been accepted by the smartest of young women has caused a good deal T Black Velvet Turban With High Aigrette. of perplexity among those who have put their money in the high-crowned hat. They were inaugurated by two young brides, who appeared simultaneously with them as an evidence that they were quite the correct thing. They were flat, simply trimmed and were not tilted over one eye. They showed a good deal of the rippling hair. One was so small it looked like a skull cap. Now, what will you? No sooner have the millers, with the aid and money of the majority of women, flooded the continent with high-crowned postilion hats than those who should launch a new fashion do it in the form of thy turbans. The shops which exploit this new kind of hat are good enough to place a rakish arrangement of velvet across the back, which looks like two long bean pods blowing in the wind, and now and then they are secured by an ornament of cut steel, for cut steel, you know, happens to be undergoing an unusual degree of popularity. Fortunately for the woman who has an average face and who cannot indulge in extraordinary fashions, there are turbans which are equally fashionable with the small ones, but having enough height and irregularity to be becoming. The French are featuring these turbans as substitutes for the high-crowned coachman's hat to which they gave all their attention in September. The fashion for vivid colors on the head has launched a mass of variegated velvet hats to be worn with somber tailored suits on the street, and in a more subdued form with afternoon gowns. The velvet in these turbans is very supple and silky and is pulled up and out into irregular folds. Right in this manipulation rests the skill of the milliner and the resultant beauty of the hat. Ornamentation is allowed, but it must be gently done. A spray of steel fashioned in some fragile form can be used on the crown to hold flowers and butterflies that have appeared on the flag, black velvet sails, are not used on the turbans. There are algrettes, but they do not cause sorrow or annoyance from the onlooker New French Mourning Millinery Shows This, and It Has Been Copied in Colors. Some milliners who co-operate with the dressmakers are trying to launch the close-fitting bonnet with its strings beneath the chin. Further impetus has been given to this shape through the new fashions in French mourning millinery which have been brought to this country and which have been found to be unusually becoming. Women have had these copied, not even omitting the strings under the chin. To call this single band of folded material by the name of strings, however, is both incorrect and misleading. It is got as old-fashioned in its effect as were the strings that tied in a wide bow exactly beigeal the chin, but it is probably a tead toward them. The mourning bonnets are really square turbans, that are not high, TRY DIPPING THE LIGHTS Properly Arranged, Scheme Will Add Immensely to Attractiveness of the Home.

Neither the law nor the times tends to the wanton destruction of birds today; the world is too busy destroying men. Short ostrich tips in brilliant colors are placed on some of these turbans. Black velvet ones, whose shape has evidently been suggested by the beret of the French student, have king's blue and wistaria ostrich tips, upstanding against the folds of the velvet on the left side, and held with a buckle of cut steel and iet. Along with the turbans there comes an accentuation of capes. The new French clothes from the great houses are showing them in multiple shapes. They are on long coats, or opera wraps and made of tulle and metal for half-low afternoon gowns. One could not credit them with the demurness that the Victorian fashions suggest, but the happy thing about really good fashion designing is that it catches the spirit of the times and applies it to the adaptation of a garment from another, and a different epoch. (Copyright, 1915, by McClure Newspaper Ribbon on the Hats. Even the milliners seem ribbon mad. Have a soft crown black velvet hat with a ruching of double box-plated black taffetta ribbon, one and one-bait inches wide, running all over the crown, "without rhyme or reason." Another is of wide black velvet ribbon all in loops. Another, the brightest emerald green felt, with the crown a mass of upstanding faille ribbon loops. An amusing hat had the crown of loops of old-fashioned chenille, black, about as big around as my little finger, the loops caught into the center of the crown — Woman's Wear. OPERA CLOAK Old Rose Rose Is Used With Charming Effect In This Opera Cloak With Its Semicaple Heavily Trimmed With Fur. The Cape is Fastened Just Under the Chin With a Huge Bust. Surrounded With Tassels of Gold. and are worn squarely on the head. The veil, which is of silk net, is also square and is placed completely over the hat, falling in points as a handkerchief, its edges pictured. Beneath the chin pass three folds of soft white crepe, made into a straight band, ending in a small flat bow at the far side. Without the veil this hat is copied in maroon velvet with a chin band of chiffon to match. There is a fancy, also, to have the veil, as well, in a matching color, the edges finished in pict. Lace is substituted when it is dyeed in the color of the hat, for there is no disposition to make a color contrast here. Testing and Cooking Eggs Eggs which are fresh laid are best for boiling, but require a little more time to cook. The shell of a new-laid egg is semi-transparent and slightly rough to the touch. A fresh egg is also much heavier than a stale one. Bedroom Furniture. There is an unusual sort of cretonne, or rather glazed chintz, bedroom furniture with glazed chintz insets. The single beds show a panel of the chintz set in the head and the foot, and the sides of the box springs are covered with cretonne to match the pattern of the glazed chintz. Then, of course, there is the usual cretonne valance around the bottom of the bed, a cretonne spread and cretonne-covered bolster or pillow holder. There is a chiffonier, the top covered with glazed chintz and then with glass, and insets of the glazed chintz put in the front of the drawers. The dressing table is similarly finished and the chairs are finished with cretonne cushions as well as insets in glazed chintz in the frames. Merely a Hint. Mrs. Newed—John, before we were married you used to call me your uncrowned king. Newed—Yes, so I did, my darling. Mrs. Newed—Well, I saw a lovely bonnet for only $37.98 downtown this morning. CAP and BELLS LITTLE BOY WAS DESPERATE LITTLE BOY WAS DESPERATE Jack, Completely Out of Patience With Whole Tribe of Women, Calls on Father for Help. Jack disliked being kissed. One day he was kissed a lot. Then, to make matters worse, on going to the picture palace in the evening, instead of his favorite Indian and cowboy pictures, there was nothing but a lot more hugging and kissing. He returned home completely out of patience with the whole tribe of women. After he had been tucked into bed his mother came to kiss him good-night. He refused. Mother begged and begged till at last, in disgust, he turned to his father, who was standing in the doorway, and said: "Daddy, for heaven's sake, give this woman a kiss!" No Cause for Alarm The Pessimist—It is only a matter of time until the land in this country will not produce enough to support the increasing population. The Optimist—Oh, don't let that worry you. Our population isn't going to stop over so long as our medical colleges continue to turn out more than 7,000 embryo physicians annually. The True Reason: "People say this man could have had any office he wanted, but he chose private life." "Don't you believe that, my son," said the veteran campaigner. "Many a man gets the credit for refusing all political preferment when, as a matter of fact, he merely had sense enough to know that he could not get the one job he'd set his heart on." Might Be Worse. "You see before you," said the mel- ancholy man, "a plaything of fate." "What's the matter with you?" asked his friend. "I was just about to mortgage my house to buy an automobile, when it burned down." "Umph! You've lost your house, but the chances are you've saved your neck." Recommendation Not Necessary. "So you're going to leave us, Mary." "Yes, mum. I've got to." "And do you want me to give you a letter of recommendation?" "It ain't necessary, mum. The man I'm going to work for is willing to take chances. I'm leavin' to get married." Pacific Ambition. "Caligula wished that Rome had a single neck, so that he might sever it at a blow. "Times are different. Now I wish that I could build a graphophone big enough to record the voice of the people." A DAINTY DISH. TROPHOUT OF THE KITCHEN "What's that noise?" "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, your majesty." "Take 'em back to the chef and tell him to bake 'em till they don't feel like singing. I can't eat rare birds." What We've Come To. "In the old days when a man declared himself a Roman citizen no one dared harm him." "True. And nowadays when a traveler in a foreign land says he's an American citizen, officials in gold braid seem to think it's some kind of joke." Quite True. Wife—Mrs. Brooks says society is hollow—that there isn't anything in it. Hustle it all, there isn't anything in it. Hustle now, whatever you don't put something in it—Judges. "Fine! He's taking life easy since he graduated." Lawson—What did you think when you realized that your automobile was turning turtle the other day? Dawson—Well, my first thought was: I am in the soup. DOING MORE THAN HIS SHARE Laborer at Bottom of Well Not Will- fer to Perform Work of Tce Two laborers were engaged to deepen a well which had become dry. One of them sent his mate down into the well while he sat at the top and directed the work. He first ordered the other man to "dig a bit on this side" then "dig a little more on that side," until the latter, tired of both the work and the orders, exclaimed: "You sit up there and use your tongue while I have to do all the work!" "One man here giving directions," said the man at the top, "can do as much as ten men down there." Thereupon his mate threw down his pick and climbed up beside the other man. "What are you doing here?" inquired the latter. "Two men up here," answered his mate. "can do as much as twenty down there." Wistful Waiting "Care much for fishing?" "No," replied the melancholy man. "It's great sport." "I haven't found it so. In fact, it has a very bad effect on me." "Iimpossible!" "True, nevertheless. Fish seldom bite fast enough to require my undivided attention and the longer I sit and watch a cork the more I'm inclined to brood over my troubles." A. Corpulent One. "It's rather curious about the Gadsby's." "Yes?" "They have a family skeleton." "Nearly all families do." "But the funny part about it is that the Gadsby's family skeleton is a relative of Mr. Gadsby, who once traveled about the country as a fat woman in a side show." "George, dear, the cook we took without a recommendation has left us." "I suppose that is because we are among the things she didn't consider of sufficient value to take with her." "Scadson believes in getting his money's worth." "He doesn't always succeed, though." "I thought him rather shrewd." "Oh, the man who swaps dollars with him usually pays 20 per cent for the privilege, but whenever Ms. Scadson gives a party, so far as Scadson is concerned, it's a dead loss." Trouble in Store. "I'm not worthy of you, my dear. "I know it, Henry, but after I take him and I dare say you will do very well." "So I'm to be made over, eh?" "Oh no. You will merely be altered to conform to certain plans and specifications mother and I had in mind before you appeared on the scene." A. Long. Wait The self-made man stalked into the office of a great financier with whom he had an appointment. "You probably don't remember me," he began, "but twenty years ago, when I was a poor messenger boy, you gave me a message to carry—" "Yes, yes!" cried the financier, "Where's the answer?"—Argonaut. Gosh, How He Dreads It! "When your wife gets the ballot, are you prepared to accompany her to the polls?" "Not yet," answered the timorous man. "But give me a little time. I'm gradually screwing up my courage to the sticking point, for it is already setted that I'm to be her escort." Lovers All Right "They're very much in love with each other." "What makes you think so?" "She doesn't mind the mistakes he makes when he's her partner in a bridge game, and he never complains when she insists on driving his car from the rear seat." Delaying the Count. "Do you think mirrors will be placed in voting booths for the woman voter?" "I hardly think so," replied the practical politician. "It would mean that every woman voter would spend at least half an hour in a booth and at that rate an election would require a week or more." Mercenary Motive. "What was the subject of the lecturer's address?" "Peace at Any Price." "Did he prove his case?" "No. The audience was rather small and he cut out some of his most eloquent periods because he failed to get his price." "Frown at the world and it frowns back. Smile, and you get a smile in return." "I dunno about that. I've had that last part fail to work when trying it as a pretty girl." "That fellow is an old grump. He'd be sour if you went to him with a golden opportunity." "Well, a golden opportunity ought to be able to stand a little acid."
