THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 37. IN VATICAN HONORIS VITAE GREAT WORK OF MAJOR LOVING Founder and Director of Island's Most Noted Musical Organization Retires From Much. Coveted Position Upon Advice of 'His Physicians—Receives Flattering Eulogy From General Hall. By J. L. WALLER. Manila, P. L.-Major Walter H. Loving, for fourteen years director of the famous Philippines Constabulary band, which he organized in 1902, retired from his post in a blaze of glory here in January. He had only been back two weeks with his famous band from the San Francisco exposition. The ovation which he received at his last concert on the Launcha surpassed any similar demonstration even given to a retiring American official. Fully 20,000 people were crowded about the band stand to hear the last concert. When Major Loving appeared at the appointed hour, making his way through the dense crowds, a spontaneous cheer went up from the great throng, and the handclapping that followed was so prolonged that the concert was delayed for several minutes. Then for over an hour the crowd was entertained with one of the most enjoyable concerts on record. It was truly a popular concert in the sense that it was intended to please every one. There was classic music for those who revel in the classics and there were popular airs for those who love the lighter themes. A committee of Manila's most prominent citizens had been busy for several days arranging some sort of press MAJOR WALTER H. LOVING. entation to Major Loving, and just before the last number was played Hon. Newton W. Gilbert, former vice governor of the Philippines, climbed up into the band stand. Standing there by Major Loving's side, Judge Gilbert spoke in behalf of the citizens of Manila, and the rousing cheers that his words brought from the crowd were ample proof of the high place held by Major Loving in the esteem of the people. people. A unique and handsome gold watch, appropriately inscribed, and a purse of gold were presented to Major Loving, while the crowd cheered. Lieutenant Navarro, who succeeds Major Loving as director of the band, presented his retiring chief on behalf of the eighty-five members of the band with a beautiful silver love cup, inlaid with gold and specially inscribed for the occasion. There was a touch of pathos in the scene accompanying this presentation, for several of the musicians in the band stand were silently weeping during this intermission in the concert. After the presentation Major Loving faced his great band for the last time to direct the rendition of the time honored stralis of "Auld Lang Syne." Just before the closing stralis he stepped down from his place and handed over his baton to Lieutenant Navarro, the faithful assistant who had served under him for so many years. This little act of courtesy on the part of Major Loving brought forth the cheers of the crowd, which continued for some time after the music had ceased. After the concert Major Loving was the guest of honor at a dinner given by officers of the Philippines constabulary. General Hall, chief of the constabulary, was the principal speaker and delivered a flattering ecology on Major Loving and his work in the constabulary. Major Loving's residence was besieged with guests, coming to bid him farewell. There were also several scenading parties of Filipino musicians in the throng. When Major Loving called away from pier 5 the full constabulary band was there to pay its last tribute to the departing chief. General Hall and other officers of the constabulary escorted Major Loving from his residence to the pier. Major Loving retires on account of impaired health. He was taken ill while leading his band at the San Francisco exposition. Since then he has apparently recovered and is the very picture of health, but his physicians advised him to take no further risks with the climate of the Philipines. He organized the Constabulary band in 1902, beginning with twenty men. In 1904, when the band had been in- THE GAZETTE creased to sixty men. it went to the St. Louis exposition and won-high honors, carrying off the second prize. In 1900, with eighty-five pieces, it again went to the United States to attend the inauguration of President Taft. On the way to Washington it played in concerts in various cities and won the unstinted praise of the musical world. After the inauguration of President Taft the band went to Atlantic City and played a long engagement at Young's pier. In 1915, at the opening of the San Francisco expedition, it made its third trip to the United States, returning to Munich at the close of the expedition. It was the most popular band at the big fair and for this reason was selected to remain and officiate it the concluding concert. No other single agency has done as much to advertise the Philippines and to give the outside world a proper conception of their people. This fact is fully appreciated by the Filipinos and has made Major Loving a hero among these far away islanders. The Constitubary band is inseparably linked with Major Loving's name. People from all over the world who have heard it, play will always think of Major Loving, the directing genius who made it all possible. What he accomplished with the raw material at his disposal has been the marvel of the musical world for the past decade. As solists his men are not equal to the great artists of Europe and America, but for ensemble-effect his band has competed successfully with the greatest organizations in the world and has elicited high praise from Sousa and other famous leaders. The monumental labor attached to Major Loving's achievement is only appreciated by trained musicians, and it is fitting that a man of his own profession should speak the final word. Professor Elbenzeen Cook, writing in the Manila 'cablenews of Jan. 23, 1915, pays the following rhlate to Major Loving's high efficiency as a musician and a leader of men: "The splendid recognition of the past services of Major Living in the building up of the (Constabulary band, which took place at his last) Launta concert, was but a spontaneous demonstration of the high estimation as a musician and a man which the Manila public holds of him. "The requirements necessary to achieve what he has accomplished are many. Often efficient conductors lack the tactful organizing ability necessary to build up an efficient organization like the Constabulary band and orchestra. I believe the Constabulary band is the only musical body in the world in which every man can allocate to both band and orchestra. "The amount of work on the part of the leader necessary to this accomplishment is little appreciated by the general public. A morning school for the strings was a feature, and this general education was really only begun. Every year, if this work is continued, will add to the efficiency of the organization, and it is to be hoped that under the new leadership it will be continued." As Major Loving is but forty-three years of age it is to be hoped that his retirement is only temporary and that he will not be permanently lost to the profession for which he has done so much and through which he has achieved a lasting and well merited fame. PARTOW POWELL'S SUCCESS. Rich Georgia Man Was 'Once Cabin Boy on Flint River Boats. One of the wealthiest farmers among the colored people of the south is Par- tow Powell of Albany, Ga. He owns 10,000 acres of land, so it is reported, and has on his various plantations nultery-nine tenant families. Mr. Powell works 100 miles and fifteen horses on his farm. He sold a consignment of cotton in 1915 which he held over from his 1014 crop for the smart sum of $35,000. Mr. Powell has held the government contract for improving the Flint river for the past twenty-four years. From a cabin boy on the boys engaged in dredging the Flint river he rose to the position of a contractor. Being a man of thrift and ambition, he saved his money and invested it in the rich farm and timber lands along the Flint river. This proved to be a wise and profitable business move, which brought good results, and he rapidly rose to prominence and wealth. Mr. Powell's estate is estimated to be over $300,000. It is well to call attention to the fact that this wonderful progress has been made in Georgia by a man of the Negro race in the midst of horrible lynching of members of his race, fincarw laws and other intense forms of strife and race hatred. The late Booker T. Washington in his speeches and addresses often tried to impress the fact upon our people that the soil knows no color line. Mr. Powell's success is a striking illustration of the truth of Dr. Washington's statement. To Test Segregation Plan. To Test Segregation Plan. The general belief seems to prevail among the rank and file of the more conservative citizens in St. Louis that the two race segregation ordinances passed at the February election held in St. Louis will be declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court should such a test be made by the leaders of the opposition. The colored people are planning to take the matter to the state supreme court at the earliest date possible. That the ordinances are in plain violation of the legal rights of a citizen to live in or use his property as he sees fit within the law is the opinion of many of the leading lawyers of St. Louis and vicinity. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. BAPTISTS HOLD PEACE MEETING Largest Organization of the Denomination. Split at Convention Held in Chicago In 1915 Over Management of Material Enterprise—Harmony Between the Leaders Is Sought. Washington—At a meeting held at the Mount Carral Baptist church in this city in February steps were taken by a group of members of the national Baptist convention, which split at the annual convention held in Chicago in 1915, to bring about a reunion of the warring factions. A peace movement was organized, with the Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, minister of the above named church, as president and Miss Nannle H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln heights in this city, as secretary. Two decades ago Negro Baptists in session in Atlanta, Ga., by uniting the Baptist foreign convention of the United States, the national Baptist convention, the national Baptist educational convention, look at one stride a longer step forward in the right direction than any race group of similar size has perhaps ever taken. MISS N. H. BURHOUGES: This advanced step was taken by the fathers that we might be able to do more effectively mission work in America, in Africa and elsewhere abroad, to foster the cause of education and to promote the publication and circulation of religious literature. Prominent Baptists now say: Phenomenal success has come as the result of this union, outstanding by far in financial growth, numerical strength and physical equipment the combined achievements of all other Negro denominations. In our Chicago convention in 1915, when we should have been celebrating the twentieth marriage anniversary of this union, we separated, and the entire Christian world is asking lounder and louder. Why? To do what? We must admit that our phenomenal success was due to this happy union. It is therefore evident that we must have a great many more reasons for going back together than we have for staying apart. Realizing this fact we have decided to ask the direction of God and to plan to secure the co-operation of the leaders of the two conventions and of every man and woman in the denomination who pray. "The kingdom come, thy will be done," to the end that the national Baptist convention might again take up unitedly the task to which it set itself in Atlanta twenty years ago. After prayer and conference, we declare these truths to be self-evident: First—We did not separate because of any differences over policy or principles for which Baptists have always stood and contended, but have simply differed as to the management of material enterprises and over administrative affairs. We believe a satisfactory adjustment is not only desired, but essential if the denominational growth in the next fifty years is to compare in any way with the growth in the next twenty years. pass. Second—Because the day of overlapping and duplication in church enterprises is past. The very spirit of the times is against it. We cannot succeed out of harmony with our times. Overwhelming public sentiment will drive us to the wall. For economic reasons, therefore, we must get together. Third—Because our people are entirely too poor and too weak to pay the price of a quarrel among Christians over secular affairs. Fourth—Even when united we never measured up satisfactorily in the support of our missionary and educational enterprises. Secretaries have, been compelled to trump the country, sleep on their suit cases week in and week out, for lack of money to get berths; carry their grips packed with books and supplies, for lack of money to have transfer or express companies do it for them; peedle pictures and books and take more pititties for the great causes after the circumstances have been drained, and above all, mission aries in foreign fields have gone for months without their salaries. It is therefore hardly reasonable to expect larger returns from divided, forces. Though the boards have had only the crumbs that have fallen from the tables in the churches, God has blessed the great national organization because of the loftiness of the purpose of the fathers, act forth in their note of vision, faith and courage in the Atlanta instrument. Fifth.—We have been responsible for the operating expenses of only one convention, and we are thousands of dollars behind. How can these same people support two National Baptist conventions, two publishing houses, two foreign mission boards, two home mission boards, two B. Y. P. L. boards, two educational boards and two benefit boards? Sixth. Strife over material things has never been a challenge to the Christian church to offer its best in lives and money. A situation similar to the one we now face caused the spiritual fires that burned so fiercely for several hundred years after Pentecost to the out and hastened the death of Christianity in northern Africa. Negative Baptists in America are now marching to the birth of a similar death. Seventh. This division is discontinuing to our friends in the north and south, who have given us moral and large financial support through schools of our home mission societies. Our friends have invested faith and hopeings more valuable than money, which if once lost will be beyond the power of this and even the next generation to restore. To fall these friends will be a moral catastrophe. It will be fifty, years at most before southern Baptist, will invest $20,000 annually in our upift and offer us $20,000 to stimulate us to keep our promise to ourselves in the matter of providing a national theological seminary. Northern Baptists will serve us with greater fear, and others who are anxious to encourage worthy efforts on the part of even other Negro denominations will have this constant reminder of our unsettled, unsatisfactory internal condition. In other words, inheavals of this kind are positively discouraging to our friends and wonderfully gratifying and strengthening to our enemies. Eighth.—Granting that we might recover from the loss of northern and southern islands, we will never recover the loss of the confidence of the masses that have been compelled by the leaders of the denomination to support out of their penny these enterprises. Will the leaders suffer the masses, that so much need all that our friends have to give us their help, so far as most of us great a heritage? Because of the spiritual, moral, economic and social loss we will certainly sustain as a result of this division, we call upon pastors and laymen to work to spread the gospel of peace and unity which has been and will ever be the conquering sign of the Christian army. Peace and unity must come because God wants it, and there is not a man in the country who desires our poor people to pay the price that they alone must pay if we stay apart. DEATH OF MRS. LOUISE R. JOY History Connected With Aged Woman Whose Freedom Beecher Purchased. The following account of the death of Mrs. Louise R. Joy by John H. Paynter, which appeared in the Washington Post in February, is interesting for many reasons. The reference to the part taken by the late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the Plymouth church in Brooklyn is of much historical value. Mr. Paynter's article reads thus: A few days ago the mortal remains of Mrs. Louisa R. Joy, whose residence in the District covered a period of nearly seventy years, were laid to rest. Her entire life was symbolized by an unwavering faith in God, devotion to the church and loving service to her family. The passing of this splendid Christian character is otherwise notable, too, for she was the last of the eighteen sons and daughters of Paul and Amelia Edmonson, seven of whom were associated with seventy others in effort to escape from slavery in 1848. The attempt was unsuccessful, mutually through information furnished the masters by one Judson Diggs, a free colored man, who had a small personal suite to satisfy. The steamer Pearl, with its cargo of fugitives, was overhaul at Carnfield Harbor, a landing on the Potomac river, and the masters, anticipating resistance, boarded her with pistols and clubs dawned, but were speedily reassured when Richard Edinson stuck his head above the hatchway and exclaimed: "Do thyself no harm, gentlemen. We are all here." The slaves were returned to Washington, and most of them were eventually sold in the southern slave market. Two of these sisters, Emily and Mary, were saved from this fate mainly through the efforts of the Rey, Henry Ward Beecher, who held a large meeting in his famous Brooklyn church, at which time the money for their delivery from slavery was enthusiastically subscribed. A little later the aged mother herself journeyed to New York and was equally successful in enlisting the sympathy and aid of Mr. Beecher for the rescue of the two remaining children, one of whom was Mrs. Louisa Joy, who has just passed away. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe devotes much space in her key to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the story of the Edmonson children and to the incident of the Pearl, which from the fact of its English ownership the attempted escape of slaves thereon was considered at the time a question of international importance. INSIDE FACTS OF MEXICAN TROUBLE GIVES THEM! The American and Mexican Sides Made Clear by One Who Is Unbiased—The Rise and Fall of Huertu and Villa—The Cauce, Etc. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: **Greeting:** After a long intermission I am glad to see The Gazette again. Because of conditions at various places where I have been I have been unable to get the paper and, frequently, other mail. So when I have The Gazette in hand I am at home again in Cleveland. For although I have been away from Cleveland a long time, I still think of it as home and people and places there are fresh in my memory. Events which occurred there, are more vivid than other events of the time intervening between my last visit home and now. These are stirring times along the Mexican border. But the intensity of the situation lessons in proportion to the distance from the border. I suppose, so that what is of vital importance to the people of this section is a mere matter of news to the people of the north 4 have been in Texas down by the Rio Grande, a long white and have traveled from Prownsville, Tex., to Douglas, Ariz., which distance covers more than the entire length of that part of the Rio Grande which separates the United States and Mexico. And everywhere I have entered into the home life of the people, both American, and Mexican. Somehow I have gained the good will and confidence of the people and I have at various times learned secrets which I scouted but later they proved to be true as evidenced by the big headlines of Northern passers. I have come in contact with the people—the real people, those who tell and suffer and live or die for the welfare of Mexico—real Mexicans. Now and then, of course, have met the politicians and those whose only desire is to exploit the country. A thousand mile stretch has had its myriad steps to a long time in intimacy with the people he caused me to be a friend and elation of Mexico. When Huerta was in power I passed from his troops to Carranza's and Villa's without let or hinderance. I was a "hate fellow" well met with both armies. How this came about is another story. But being strictly neutral and impartial had much to do with it. Huerta is dead and Carranza and Villa are enemies! How time changes conditions! You find some valiant troops under the command of First Chief Carranza, who a short time ago were loyal to him before that were faithful to Huerta—and vice versa. This condition leads to the conviction that Mexicans are disloyal, faithless, and treacherous. In many cases we must plead guilty to this count of the indictment. But it is not true of the great mass of Mexicans, although you find them fighting their leader of yesterday and marching again under his standard tomorrow. It is not the man they follow, it is a principle. All though it may be a mistaken principle it is never-the-less a principle. One principle is hostility to the United States. Because Huerta refused to saint the mg of the became very popular. When he became more popular, he reconeclo ted the stripes he lost ground. Then Villa and Carranza began "to pull the eagle's tail" and the people turned to them. Carranza is reported to have wanted war with the United States and but for Villa might have precipi- tated an armed conflict. Villa, the warrior, held back Carranza, the diplomat. Then and there Villa began to lose. To every expressed desire of the United States Villa acceded. Fifteen months ago Gen. Villa was the honored guest at Ft. Bliss, Tex. American soldiers walked or rode horse back beside the carriage in which Villa and an American general. The streets of El Paso, Tex. were lined with people shouting "armor for Villa. On the other Carranza stood aloft, granting nothing, demanding everyone Villa lost heavily with people while Carranza gained ground. Today his hosts of yesterday are hunting Villa like a wild animal. But here Villa gains ground again. And it will be interesting to watch the change of Mexican sentiment. I remember Santa Ysabel, Mex., where eighteen Americans were ruthlessly killed and shamefully maltreated. I remember Columbus, Ariz., where Mexican devils in the dead of night murdered less American citizens. For such outrages there is no excuse and nothing can palliate the crime. But there is an explanation and a reason. Mexicans are intense in both their affections and their hatreds. And in my best judgment events which have happened in Paso, Tex., during the past two years have more to do with Mexican reprisals and毁丧 than any other combination of causes. Mexicans have been jailed and heavily fined for trivial crimes or no cause at all. Children were formerly placed in the lock-up or sent to the reform school by the visiting department of the public schools, on very slight provocation. Hundreds of Mexicans have been deported, "wagged," or driven out of El Paso for what they MIGHT do. And finally the catastrophe in the city jail where 26 prisoners, soaked in gasoline, were cremated alive. Nine more finally recovered. And so maddened by injustice and unfair treatment they hatched a hellish revenge. So many unjust and unfair things have happened during the past two years in El Paso that it is easy to inflame the Mexican' mind against 'the whole United States. Of course the burning of the prisoners in the city jail was accidental and was caused by a "hop-friend" who was himself burned to death and the jail officials were absolutely without blame. Then, too, conditions have vastly-improved since the present Mayor Ton Lea and Corporation Judge Paul D. Thomas took WILL OPPOSE GOV. WILLI Our Ministers Through Ohio Becoming Active THEIR PROTESTS ARE IGNO This week the colored troops have been brought by train loans into El Paso. The people—many of them are frightened at their own shadow now—remember the seed they have been sowing. But it is to be regretted that colored troops are in the fray because Mexicans, as a rule, believe in the Negro and offer a home with equality and fraternity without limitation. I have no fear of war with Mexico and am in hearty sympathy with President Wilson's policy because I know them. Sincerely yours, WILL EDWIN SMITH AN APPRECIATION Antioch-Baptist Sunday School on the Loss of Rev.. H. C. Bailey as Pastor of the Church. Cleveland, O., March 19, 1916. Whenever there enters into our lives, our environments of the specific laborers in which we may be engaged, an individual force or personality whose lofty ideals, singleness of purpose, broadness of heart and unselfish devotion to our common interests us new hope and gain by lifting us into a higher position of usefulness, such a person will gain our supreme love, confidence, honor and esteem, and nurture our everlasting gratitude. We, the Antioch Baptist Sunday School, regard it not only our duty but an exceeding great pleasure in attesting this to be a faint picture of the beneficent results which have been our by reason of the leadership of our beloved pastor, Rev. H. C. Hall during his 13 years of passion. Continuing to us 13 years as he found us a little spark, it a were, enlightening a girl of warmth and light, but a spark was nursed and nurtured by his wise counsel and protected by his fatherly love, and thus became a brilliant flame whose brightness is too intense to be confined within her own borders, but, city, state and country have felt her influence and even across the deep waters has she sent, and is still sending the ray of Gospel light to those who are threatened with more and more we been able to do because we have been followed the leadership of pastor, Rev. H. C. Ballay, as he followed the Christ of the Gospel. We honor and esteem him, not alone for his faithful services for and among us, but also for his broadness of heart, and cosmopolitan spirit, which carried him beyond the united borders of his own parish. He realy a man of the people, ever in contending for the high life of Christian citizenship. Whenever battles for civic consciousness were to be fought he was ever to be found in the front rank battling valiantly for the cruse of right. In recognition of these noble qualities and high ideals, be it resolved: 1. That it is with the deepest regret and sadness that we are compelled to part with our beloved pastor who has been such untold benefit to the Sunday school in all its activities. He has been the main-spring behind all of its wonderful strides and around. In no department of the church has the progress been so marked. No man in recent years has so infidelly stamped his impassion upon the community life of our city as has Dr. H. C. Baxter. He was a pastor to the Bible school, alive to all its most vital interests. His sterling worth and integrity cannot be duplicated. He leaves us with sad and broken hearts the extent of which, language is in adequate to which. REV. H. C. BAILEY We look to our Heavenly Father, who alone is able to heal our wounded hearts, and shall trust in him to fill the vacancy made by this resignation. Wherever his future lot may be cast, may the Great Shepherd of the sheep guide, shield and protect Somewhere in the great beyond, if not on this terrestrial ball... sunny summerside of bliss in glory, we shall meet to part no more. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the Rev. Dr. Balley and a copy be spread upon the minutes of this organization and a copy be published in our local papers. Done by the order of the Antioch Baptist Sunday school this 19th day of March, A. D. 1916. MR. O. S. FOX, Supt. MISS LILLIAN FIELDS, Sec. MISS C. MORGAN JACKSON, MRS. ELLEN JACKSON, MRS.

Our Ministers Throughout Ohio Becoming Active THEIR PROTESTS ARE IGNORED They Are Leading a Movement to Resent the Governor's Insult---His Broken Promise. Only Aggravates The Matter Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Some time in 1915, Gov. Frank B. Willis agreed to the appointment of a local Negro as a deputy oil inspector for this county which position he held until January 1 when his resignation caused a vacancy in the oil inspecting Meanwhile, two or three aspirants applied for it, among the number being a local saloon-keeper who operated on the main thoroughfare of our people, where our church-goers, must pass to and fro to their churches, be embarrassed by hangers-out and others passing in and out. In spite of our vigorous protests (for nearly two months) to Gov. Willis, as ministers of the gospel (representing several Colored church communicals), against the appointment of a saloon-man, recommended largely by the saloon element, the Governor has appointed him and refused to appoint the man we enforced, one whom we thought the best to represent the race in an official capacity. We, as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and night-letters (telegrams) to Gov. Willis in protest against the appointment of the saloon- GOV. FRANK B. WILLIS. man and endorsing the other aspirant. The Governor, however, has deliberately and outrageously ignored our protests and endorsements by giving the position to that element which with their business (saloon) is doing more harm and causing more retrocession of the flower of our young manhood in this city than the actual physical slavery of our parents before the "sixties." We, the ministers and churches, stand for race education, a virile manhood, worthy citizenship and factors in every community, and for a better manhood and life. The Governor's action in this matter is in position to all these hurried HURTS! What are we to do when these contemptible dignitaries are continually heaped upon us—appointing saloonmen to state and municipal jobs as a reward to the decent Negro republicans of this community, thus saying to the people, white and Colored, that SUCH men are the REPRESENTATIVES of the Negroes? We must and will organize and work to defeat any candidate for office, he be democrat, or oppose who will so insult Gay, Willis will be made to feel this, politically if he is a candidate for office in November.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1916. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The Ohio State Journal's editorial, "Forced to ~Salute," republished elsewhere in The Gazette today, is worthy a careful and thoughtful reading. As President Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt said, some years ago, it is now time for the Negro, or better Afro-American, to look out for himself (in politics and everything else). No self and race respecting Afro-American can afford to permit "Collier's Weekly" to enter his or her home, or for that matter the home of any person whom they can influence. Southern Afro-American Republicans should have an inter-state organization to fight the "illy-white" of that section, particularly at the Republican National convention to be held in Chicago in June. The Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana, seems to have the Hon. Theo. E. Burton "tied to a post" in the Republican Presidential nomination contest. Here's hoping that he is kept "tied." The local opinion is unanimous: Our people of Cleveland are losing its most progressive, aggressive and loyal pastor in Rev. H. C. Balley. Shiloh or Mt. Haven Baptist church will make a great mistake if one of them does not "call" him. Cleveland Afro-Americans cannot afford to lose Dr. Balley. He is a positive quantity that they need in the effort to promote "the good and welfare" of our people of this community. Will E. Smith's communication to The Gazette, today, is one of the most remarkable, for several reasons, we have as yet read, on the Mexican trouble. It presents facts the American daily newspapers have, for one reason or another, refrained from publishing. They enable one to understand some things which have troubled nearly every one who has given the Mexican matter much consideration. The Gazette is greatly pleased to publish the letter for that reason, and hopes Mr. Smith will send others equally as valuable to its readers. IGNORING THE TENTH CAVALRY "The famous Seventh cavalry, Custer's old command, responded in able fashion to their colonel's call for more speed in the dash to get Villa and their marksmanship in the battle that ended the dash resulted in heavy losses to the Villistas." The foregoing is a sample of the dispatches sent to the daily newspapers of the country, last week, from El Paso, Texas. Prejudiced southern correspondents ignored the presence of our famous Tenth Cavalry (with the Seventh Cavalry) in advance of the U. S. troops, in Mexico, in pursuit of Pancho Villa. Not until conditions forced the notice of our troops there, the first of the week, we have we noticed any mention of them in said daily papers. The fact that an Afro-American soldier was the first to be killed in the action, referred to in the portion of the dispatch given above, seemed to make no difference in the cases of the aforementioned prejudiced southern correspondents. "Twas ever thus." "STRIKE BACK"! In every political party save alone the Socialist party the color line is sharply drawn although every effort is made at election time to obliterate it and to have it appear that all men are equal without regard to their previous condition of servitude. A more ghastly lie than this was never told. The Colored people in this country are to a large extent free in name only and to them the vote is the ballot. The politicians who do not openly despise them cunningly contrive to control their votes in a way to keep them where they are and when the election is over one of their number, the most active ward worker, is given a janitor's badge and permitted to clean the cuspidors of the white politicians in recognition of their political equality with the white politicians in fraud and false pretense and no one knows this better than the hypocritical politicians who practice it—St. Louis (Mo.)

Willis and Ohio, and Mayor Davis and Cleveland, in mind particularly when it published the foregoing editorial, for that is the condition in this state and city just at this time. It is not going to change, either, until our people wake up and do some striking back—within the party. Joining the Socialist or the Democratic party will not solve the problem. We must do just as other point factors of the Republican party do under similar circumstances. When they are not treated fairly and right, they STRIKE BACK—stay in the party but refuse to vote for men in office like Willis and Davis, help encompass their defeat, and thus teach them and the party, too that it does not pay to misstreat and insult loyal Republicans. That is the right way, and the only proper way to solve that problem. FAIR FEILD FOR ALL. Charles Sumner Bird, who is running in the Massachusetts Republican primary for delegate to Chicago, pledged to Roosevelt, says that if the Colonel is not nominated it will mean another split in the party and the reelection of Wilson. Not necessarily. It certainly will not mean that if Mr. Bird and others who favor Roosevelt will abide by the results of the primaries in which they are entered and of the convention which they seek to attend. Four years ago there was much talk of the fraud that was perpetrated and of the outrage that was done at Chicago. Upon such an excuse the Progressive party was formed. This year there will be no basis for such accusations. Two-thirds of the Chicago convention will be named in open direct primaries, such as Mr. Bird has entered. The outcome of those primaries will be just what the voters desire. In Massachusetts Mr. Bird may not be elected. But there can be no split in the party as a consequence of that unless Mr. Bird is entering the primary with a determination not to accept the result unless it is favorable to him. Such a spirit would wreck any political organization. It was such a spirit that did wreck the Republican party four years ago. If Mr. Bird is imbued with this spirit he surely has no business as a candidate in a Republican primary. THE OTHER FELLOW EMBAR RASSED. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette, seems to be finding out lots of things these days. He has been laboring early and late to bring to the attention of the Board of Censors of Ohio in general, and Gov. Willis in particular, to the attempts of the "Birth of a Nation" managers and other similar race-prejudice-breeding photopiets to enter the moving-picture arena that he had succeeded in having them all backed up in Commonwealth. His efforts in arousing public sentiment, too, had been a notable success. Now he discovers for the first time, after reading a report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the great organization, with headquarters in New York, claims practically all the credit for so doing. We do not know how this brilliant Ohioan will take it, but from reading a recent issue of his journal, we draw a wanty sense of satisfaction. The present situation is rather embarrassing for both parties—Richmond (Va.) Planet. The Gazette led the fight to bar the vicious photoplay from this state and Ohio Afro-Americans and a few of their white friends were most active in the effort. We want THEM to have the credit and are not concerned particularly, as far as The Gazette is concerned; nor are we embarrassed, in the least. Those N. A. A. C. P. of ficials, making the "extravagant claims" we called attention to in a recent issue of The Gazette, ought to feel considerably embarrassed about this time, however. THE "BROWNSVILLE TWINS." If our good friend, Editor J. R. Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, could only have a few minutes' talk with our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, as to the infamous part in the "Brownsville, Tex., Affray" President "Brownsville" Roosevelt took, he would never again ask: "Why keep up a howl about Theodore Roosevelt anent the Brownsville affair and declare him our worst enemy, when his war Secretary Taft inquired it and recommended his exhilation." The "Brownsville twins"—Roosevelt and Taft—"lynch-murdered" those innocent soldiers, "The Black Battalion," as far as the U. S. army and their reputations as soldiers are concerned, and followed them, persecuting them to the very end, preventing their re-restatement in the army and practically nullifying the Congress legislation the Senator worked so hard and so long for. As long as they and we live, we can never forget them, even if we are ever able to forgive Roosevelt and Taft. We would as soon think of voting for that prejudiced southerner, President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, as for either of the "Brownsville twins" and God knows we could not do THAT in the face of our people's last few years' experience with the Wilson administration which includes that southerncontrolled democratic Congress, to say nothing of our treatment at the hands of southern democrats for all the years preceding those of the Wilson administration and since the close of the war of the rebellion. Afro-Americans can no more trust Roosevelt and Taft than "The Black Battalion" can trust them. KILLS 2 U. S. NAVY MEN. NORFOLK, Va., April 5—C. E. Day, ordinary seaman from the battleship New Hampshire, and Charles Syronstom, a marine, were shot and killed here tonight by an Afro-American named George Carter, whom they mistreated. He escaped. Possibly the most auspicious event of the kind that has materialized in Cleveland for many years was the formal opening, Wednesday evening, of the Mile Track club, 1200 Webster Ave. The Imperial quartette's singing, instrumental music and other entertainment was fine and the club's doors were open to the doors with members and visitors.

Draws a Color-Line, Says George Wells Parker, a Member of the Race. Omaha, Neb. March 31, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I wish to bring the attention of our people to the fact that Collier's Weekly does not Colored subscribers. The following statement contains the essential facts: On the 6th of March I was employed by the Collier manager at Omaha to solicit for the magazine club offer of Collier's Weekly. A few days later I checked accounts and stock and, happening to see me turning in subscriptions, ordered the local manager to discharge me for the reason that Collier's wanted neither colored solicitors nor colored subscribers. All my orders were held up at once and I was not allowed to return. I longer wanted. I did not care anything about the discharge, but felt that it was up to me to ascertain the truth of the statement and, if true, to publish the same. I thereupon wrote to Collier and received a reply which included the remarks of the auditor. The letter read: "The attached card gives you a list of occupations; the people engaged in said occupations we do not care to do business with." The card referred to enumerates waiters, barbers, bell-boys, porters, laborers, railroad men, etc., as undesirables, and, under "division 11," states specifically that "soldiers, sailors, NEGROES, etc." are not wanted. This card, of course, is supposed to reach only the hands of Colliery solicitor, Rice chief of branch administration, took pains to place a cross beside the word "Negroes" to be sure that it would not be overlooked. No further comment is necessary. Respectfully, GEORGE WELLS PARKER, 925 N. 27th Street. FORCED TO SALUTE. A mulatto student at a Des Moines school, 11 years old, was arrested and taken before the juvenile court for refusing to salute the flag. He said he would salute nobody or nothing but God. It is perfectly absurd for punishing a person for an act of defiance, act if it has any merit, and to compel one to do it tends to make one hate the flag. We had supposed the story of William Tell had so far imbued public sentiment in this country that forced patriotism was out of the question. That mulatto boy's case was much like liam liam's case, and best ask that mulatto boy why he did not love the flag enough to salute it, and if his reason was good to endeavor to make the flag the object of his sincere love. What a miserable education is that which makes a boy salute the flag when he has been in it! Maybe the colored boy had a want the black flag the flag was not the same to him as it was to the accusers. Anyhow, whatever the reason, one loses his patriotism if he is forced to be patriotic—Editorial in Columbus Ohio State Journal, (daily), March 16, 1916.

Wanted to Be Ready. A story is told of an old Irish gentleman who was the only undertaker in an upper Michigan city years ago. He was what might be called a forcedhanded man. One day he met on the street the young son of a citizen who was reported to be at death's door. "How is yer fa-ather this mornin'?" asked the undertaker. "He's sinking fast," said the boy. "Is that so? Poor boy! By the way, how tall is yer fa-ather?" Surely Doing His Best. "Why, Willie, what in the world are you doing in there?" asked the mother of a small boy as she opened the door of the big refrigerator and discovered him sitting inside. "Well, you see, I've got to speak a piece at school this afternoon," explained Willie, "and paa paa I'd get along all right if I kept cool."

It is getting to be quite a meeting place. A meeting, looking toward the establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A., was held in E. 49th St. last week Wednesday evening, it is said. The other race does not "jim-crow" some of the people it meets. They want separate schools, too. Mrs. Wm.

Coming down in a Central Av., car, one night, recently, a representative of The Gazette sat near several city employees (garbage plant, "white-wings" et al) who were leaving a department at 46th St., and heard them ridicule the candidacy of some member of the Attucks club to whom they referred as "Shoofly Chucks". Wonder who they had reference to? Is there any political treason in the Maschke-Davis Hamit camp? The extent to which the Catholic church softens race prejudices was fostered in New Orleans, La., recently. At the funeral of a priest who had belonged to an old Louisiana family and who had devoted his life to work among Colored Catholics, an Afro-American priest was celebrant of the mass, while the deacon and sub-deacon were white priests.

Keeble, secretary.—Adv. HON. CHARLES WARREN FAIR-BANKS, To Date, the Leading Candidate for the Republican Nomination for President. Louisville, Ky.—Colored Republicans of Kentucky, one of whom was recently elected a delegate at-large from the state to the National Republican convention, are deeply interested in the candidacy of Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, for the presidency. They are greatly concerned as to the attitude of many of the other candidates to the ideals of the political rights of the race, and they see in the candidacy of the former vice president the hope of the Negro's return, along with the Republican party, to recognition in the national government. None of the eastern candidates present alluring prospects for the Colored man. At best, every one of them would be a candidate for the question. In the west, Senators Borah and Cummins are impossible so far as our people are concerned, and we would have no reason to expect more from them than the present Democratic president. In Ohio, our people, under the virile and competent leadership of the veteran, Hon. Harry Borah, are responsible for the successful Cleveland Gazette, are posing former Senator Theodore E. Burton on account of his "time-horned" indifference to the aspirations of the Afro-American element of the party, and there is no denying that there exists a widespread disposition to provide back seats for our people, in the south and border areas of the country. He is race in America is seldom regains it. In his administration Wilson has eliminated the Afro-American as a factor, and it is highly essential that as the Republican party comes back it should be under the leadership of a man with it is sympathy with his returning with it. Surely the record of no candidate for the presidency is that of Charles Warren Fairbanks. He is of the "old school" of Republicans, as regards the rights of the Afro-American. He is the most distinguished and probably the most active layman in a great church organization which has done much for the educational and moral welfare of our people. His activities are half, whether they were political or religious. At present Mr. Fairbanks is the leading candidate for president. His singular availability and surpassing statesmanship have secured for him thus far a majority of the instructed votes. In view of the critical situation in the air, his aura well fits into political future, because our best hopes will be in safe hands if Fairbanks is nominated and elected. DOINGS OF THE RACE Capt. Benj. O. Davis is also with the Tenth Cavalry in Mexico. Mexican daily papers invite Afro-Americans to settle in that country. Send him (Gov. Willis) back to Ada O., where chicken is plentiful.—Cincinnati (O.) Republican. New York's Afro-American regiment is to have white officers. An other gratuitous insult. The "jim crow" bill in the Kentucky House of Representatives, intended for Louisville, was killed. Louis Merriman, age 121, of Kansas City, Mo., died last week. He was born in Virginia, while Washington was president. Elliott Elliott of Cincinnati, was given the heaviest sentence ever imposed in that city for the illegal sale of liquor—$1,000 fine and 20 days in the prison. He is the man in the race and Cincinnati is Republican. A. D. Male of W. Mansfield, O., until recently, has purchased "Mendow Brook Farm." 276 acres, at Mesopotamia, O.

WILLIS Furthermore, if we ever owed the party any debt of gratitude or anything else for any part it may have played in the emancipation or during the ten or more years that followed it, God knows, in fealty, united support and vote for nearly a half century we have paid that debt and, too, with compound interest. It is now, and has been for many years, high time for the party to be considering the tremendous debt we owe to his long-time united support and to paying something far more than it has in late years on that debt. I believe that I voice the sentiments of my good people everywhere when I say that the man and only the man who stands for the principle of righteousness and justice, be he democrat or Republican, will be supported by the intelligence. We must punish Gov. Willis as a matter of self respect as well as race respect. It is our clear DUTY! Willis is not the party. I am a Republican. Yours resp., (Rev) Carl W. Haskell. WILLIS AND THE OIL INSPECTORSHIP. Our esteemed conferee, Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond (VA.) Planet, and doubtless many others throughout Ohio and the country, do not understand the caustic indictment of Gov Frank B. Willis our ministers and other leading Afro-Americans of Cleveland and the state of Ohio, have filed in the columns of The Gazette and placed upon their personal records for future use. What makes it hard for them to understand it, is the fact that all last year we gave the Governor decidedly more credit for barring infamous photoplayers from Ohio than he was entitled to. We were not aware of this until Chairman Chas G. Williams, of the State Board of Film Censors, enlightened us in his letter to The Gazette, under date, Jan. 21, 1916, when he wrote that the Governor had left the Board free to take such action on all films as they, the board, saw fit. To that date (and since) Governor Willis let that false impression stand on a word from him would have "set us right," but "nary a word did he utter." Last year, soon after his inauguration, the HE intended doing better by his Afro-American constituents, in the way of appointments to office, than any of his predecessors in the office of chief executive of this state. To date HE HAS NOT GIVEN US A SINGLE PERSONAL APPOINTMENT, while those given by his subordinates and other members of his administration, with possibly one exception, are very mediate one, and hardly worth mentioning. NOT ONE CLASS APPOINTMENT HAS HE OR THEY MADE DURING HIS TERM OF TWO YEARS, which is rapidly drawing to a close. This, too, in the face of his voluntary and published promise. His attention has been repeatedly called to the matter, without the slightest indication on his part that he intends, even at this late date, to do so. As to State Oil Inspector Carr's appointment of a deputy oil inspector for this county, with Gov Willis approval of the matter, we are aware of the protests of our local ministers and other leading Afro-Americans of this community, quite enough is said elsewhere in these columns to make clear the fact that our "beloved young Governor" cares about as much for his Afro-American constituents as his broken promise to them and his clearly evident intention to mislead them in the infamous photoplay matter, indicate. They, too, fully justify all that Dr. H. C. Bailey and our other ministers and The Gazette say and feel deeply in the case of Gov. Frank B. Willis. We assure Editor Mitchell, and all, that we propose to do exactly what is said, and that is to hold the Governor to strict account for mistreatment that is not only inexecutable but positively insulting and vitally harmful to a struggling constituency that has heretofore been most loyal and helpful to him and the party, and that is deserving of far better treatment at his hands, to say the least. This is the most conservative and the only MANLY view of the matter that self and race respecting Afro-Americans of Ohio can take. Gov Willis must and shall be made to realize that such shameful mistreatment will be resented at the polls, not only by other people, but also by ours. It is our only way to make him and others treat us with the respect and consideration clearly our due in common with all others. In closing his editorial, Editor Mitchell says: "As for Gov. Willis, following the lead of the brilliantly edited Cleveland Gazette, we are not yet ready to take action," he said in the official Executive Office of Ohio. Well, brother, if you are following the lead of The Gazette, which "stands shoulder to shoulder" with Dr. Bailey and our ministers and others in this matter, you will have to lose both faith and confidence in "our beloved young Governor" because he has certainly ruined both in us as far as he is concerned. To Gov. Willis we would quote (as correctly as memory will permit) the immortal Abraham Lincoln's everlasting statement: "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people part of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." He fooled us for quite a year of his two-year term, and that is enough, Brother Mitchell. Self respect and a proper regard and respect for the interests of those of the race in Ohio, compel us "to call a halt" and make clear to our people of Ohio the Governor's insulting and harmful attitude toward them. And we are but just beginning to do so, too. There shall be no halt until the close of election day in November. The morning papers, Thursday, did not seem to know that so distinguished a man as Major John R. Lynch had spoken in the city twice, the day before—at Western Reserve university and at St. John's church, being entertained at the Caterers' club later in the evening. Good audiences greeted him at each place. However, said the foreign dean, dean of the foreign element in Cleveland, many of whom cannot read a word of the English language. The major spoke interestingly as usual at Antioch church, on Thursday evening. Modern sixroom house, price $2,500; $200 down, $20 per month on balance.

KILL TEN AND SCATTER BAND Villa With 200 Followers Reported to Be Headed Toward Satevo; Several Fights, Take, Place, Betweens El Paso, Tex. — The story that Francisco Villa is wounded and that his capture is imminent was asserted by Gen. Gavira, the Carranzani commander at Juarez. Gen. Gavira made public a telegraph which he said he had received from Gen. Bertani at Madera stating specifically that the bandit had been shot and was in hiding somewhere between Bachineva and Satevo. The message is confirmatory of reports from American headquarters that Villa was known to be heading toward Satevo. In an attack on Villa forces at Cienquita, Gen. Gavazos killed 10 and scattered the band, according to a report from Gen. Gutierrez given out by Gen. Gavira. 'Two Hundred With Villa.' Gutierrez reported to Gavira that he had talked with one of his captains and two privates, who had been captured by Villa in Namiqipa and had escaped in the course of the fight in Guerrero. They said Villa, after the fight, left with 200 men for Llanos, in the San Juan Batista district. Candelario Cervantes, who had taken over Pablo Lopez's command of 200 men, and Julso Acosto, with 200, had escaped into the mountains of Guerrero. Martin Lopez, who was wounded, left with 100 followers for Bachinova. Ramon Loranzo and Lieut. Col. Hernandez were killed in the battle. A small remnant of the Villa force, defeated by Col. George A. Dodd's cavalry at Guerrero eight days ago, was scattered in a skirmish with Carranzista troops March 29 in the mountains near the town, according to reports reaching Namiqipa from other Carranzita sources. Attempt to Surprise Garrison Fails. A Villa band under Simon Reyes and Chacon lost 42 killed in an attempt to surprise the garrison in the mining town of Parras, several miles east of Torreon, last Saturday. A band of Villa supporters wrecked a passenger train on a branch of the Mexican Central railroad in the neighborhood of Sombrerote, last Thursday, killing a number of persons, according to reports reaching Torreon. No word has come back from the front, except a short radiogram that the prisoners of the San Gieriono battle have been bundled together for shipment north. REPORT SAYS TURKS DEFEATED BY BRITISH Hope to Give Relief to Townshend Army; French Assault German Front Vigorously. Amsterdam, Holland.—A victory for the British over the Turks on the Tigris below Kut-El-Amara has been reported by Gen. Lake, in command of the British forces there. The Turkish entrenched position at Umm-El-Henna was attacked and carried by the Tigris corps, Gen. Lake telegraphed to London, and the operations are proceeding satisfactorily. The capture of Umm-El-Henna, which is on the Tigris about 20 miles down stream from Kut-El-Amara, is the most important news from this theater in some time, and is regarded as giving promise of the early relief of Gen. Townshend's force, which has been besieged in Kut-El-Amara since the first week in December. In evident determination not to permit the Germans to retain the ground they won recently in the Vaux-Douaumont region northeast of Verdun, the French are continuing their violent attacks there. Paris reports ground was gained north of Caillette wood in several engagements. London, England. — The Spanish steamship Vigo, of 1,137 gross tons, was sunk in the Bay of Biscay by a German submarine, according to a Lloyd's report. The crew were set drift in a boat and later were picked up by the British steamship Polo and taken to Gibraltar. Lloyd's also reports the sinking of the British steamship Bendew, of 3,681 tons, with the loss of one of the crew. Iron and Steel Output New York City—Iron Age says: March brought the production of American iron and steel to new and astonishing figures, so that the rate for pig iron is now practically 40,000,000 tons and for steel ingots 43,000,000 to 44,000,000 tons. At the same time mills made no headway in March in overlaking orders. Pig iron buying has been less, as was indicated a fortnight ago. Prices have been stronger in some districts, but at Pittsburgh those for steel-making iron are at a standstill. Will Keep Hands Off. Toledo, O.—The business men of Toledo are holding in abeyance their threat of Monday "to tell the mayor where to get off" in regard to the present street car arrest. Several hundred manufacturers and merchants met in the Commerce club. They decided not to take any active interest in the controversy between the traction company and the employees, pending the hearing of the city's cross-petition for a receiver filed in federal court. Receivership suit has been postponed until Thursday With the spring the blouse becomes more grominent, and the diversity of patterns in which it appears testifies to the thought given this subject. No woman can have too many blouses, and they should be of lingerie, of silk, of thin wool, of chiffon and voles, of velvet, and of linens and duck, to match duck summer suits and sports skirts. The design here shown is best adapted to soft silks and wools, crepe de chinés, linens and voles of the simpler and heavier class. It is a good design for suit blouses and for separate waists of the less dressy variety. The model shows the new style of having a two-color collar, although this does not mean that you should make it up in two colors. The material of this blouse is soft taffeta, in dark blue, to match a blue skirt. The collar is faced with rose-colored charmeuse satin, and the sleeves are faced in the open cuffs in the same manner. Rose-colored ribbons are used to run through the beading, at the waists, the cuff is gathered, and rose-colored buttons are employed to carry out the decorative scheme. This rose-colored effect is introduced into waists of green, tan, white, and any color that will look well with this hue. It makes an unbecoming tint attractive when there S Attractive Blouse. is a rose-colored effect at the neck. This introduction of red or pink in black waists is extremely effective, and for general purposes it will be found more economical to have white lace or net collars and sleeve ruffles placed inside the collar next the skin. Otherwise the fancy linings would need to be cleaned every day or two. FROM OLD CARDBOARD BOX Pretty Work Basket Can Be Evolved, With a Leftover Piece of Chintz or Cretonne. A very attractive and useful work basket can be made from an old card- board box, a piece of leftover chintz or cretonne, and about three yards of inch-wide ribbon. The bottom part of a box answers the purpose. A nice size for a basket should measure four- teen inches long, ten inches wide, and have a depth of about two and one- half inches. First of all cut the four joints of the cardboard box down with a pair of scissors, so that the box becomes a flat piece of cardboard. Place this cardboard on a piece of chintz, allow one-half inch all around and allow for the four cut-out corners as in diagram. Thus an oblong shape of chintz will result, with no pieces cut out; now cut out another piece exactly the same size. Place the cardboard in the middle of these pieces and neatly sew up the sides; the four little corner pieces will not have any cardboard in them, but they must be sewed quite flat. Out of another piece of cardboard cut out shapes so that they will span across and act as handles: cover these with the chintz and sew one on either side of the basket. Now take the ribbon and sew a length flat on each of the four edges, leave a length at each end, so that the basket can be tied together at the corners with them. To make the basket in its original shape, simply fold up the covered cardboard and secure by tying the end pieces of ribbon into bows at the corners, this holds the basket in shape. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Fill the foot of a soft sock with hot salt, then tie a knot in the sock leg; apply to aching ear or tooth and almost immediate relief will be the result. Take moderate daily exercise, such exercise as will briskly circulate the blood without fatiguing the body, and always preserve serenity and cheerfulness. A patent has recently been taken out by an Alabama man for a guard to put on baby's thumb to prevent it from finding its way to the mouth. Be sure that every bit of powder and rouge is removed before you retire at night. Take it off with cold cream first and then wash your face well with soap and water. But it is much better to trust to nature instead of to art for your complexion. The lungs chiefly influence beauty by the efficiency with which they purify the blood, and their influence is profound. Let them therefore be given the opportunity of doing their work well. Do not compress them with THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1916. The ribbon used should tone with the colorings of the chintz; a piece of ribbon is tied to each of the handle-tops, they are then tied in a bow and the handle is complete. When the basket is folded up to the box shape, the four little corners fold up with it; this makes just a little fullness at the corners, which is an advantage, for it eases them. The baskets can be used for all kinds of purposes, they look dainty on the dressing-table to hold cottons, ribbons, etc., and are most useful for any kind of fancy work. For ordinary work baskets they can be covered with dark linen. A sweetly pretty baby's basket is made in just the same way; a larger box should be used, and little pockets sewed inside to hold the various articles such as powder-puff, hair-brush, soap-box, vaseline, etc. DICTATES OF FASHION Striped sports coats of knitted silk have narrow borders of fur. Flesh-colored tulle is always more becoming than dead white. Volles continue to be more important among sheer white goods. One of the best trimmings for a position hat is a steel bead motif. Laces and tulle are most fashionable for young girls' party frocks. Green is among the best colors to choose for morning suits in the country. The Cossack influence shows in many of the new coats for girls and children. Nothing is prettier for evening than gauze and chiffon brocaded with metal motifs. Underwear in vivid tones of cerise, emerald, violet and blue, made of jersey cloth, match the stockings of the wearer. 1 The "peace hat," the newest fad in millinery, has started war. The hat is trimmed with a dove of peace. The dove is dead. There's the rub. The friends of the birds, the National Association of Audubon Societies, especially, say the dove must go before they will set the hat on their heads. Some admirers of the newest fad have declared that it's only a chicken-feather dove, but the Audubon Societies will have to be shown. For the Outgrown Shirt. Every mother knows how soon the little baby's arms grow too large for the shirt sleeves, while the body of the shirt is still large enough. This can be remedied by purchasing a pair of infants' white cashmere hose. Cut the feet off and overcast neatly into the armholes, putting in a little gusset under the arm if necessary to enlarge armhole. The leg of the stocking makes the sleeve and the top fits nicely around the little wrist. Pussy Willow Bag. A dancing bag, deep enough to hold slippers, gloves and vanity outfit, is of peach pink pussy willow silk, drawn up at the top on ciel blue ribbon and lined with ciel blue satin. There are two frills of lace, one near the bottom, and one midway of the bag's length, each frill put on under a tiny line of fur. A pink rose with silver leaves, covers the joining of the fur ends and adds to the dainty gayety of the bag. tight clothing. Give them pure air. Keep the bedroom window open day and night. At night, before retiring, when the hands have been well washed and dried, rub in a fair quantity of good cold cream or camphorated ice. Then powder them lightly with a fine talcum and slip on loose old gloves reserved for this purpose. This will whiten the hands and keep them soft and smooth. For Corsage Bouquet. Moss rosebuds are favored this season for corsage bouquets and the dainty, old fashioned moss roses are peculiarly suited to quaint little frocks in pale gray tints such as pretty women are wearing now. Pretty women, one stipulates, for no plain sister should ever venture to wear gray—whose tints are only for flawless complexions. Ribbon Camisoles.

MATTER OF FASHION THAT IS MAKING WOMEN UNEASY. Little Need for Real Disquietude Over the Matter—It May Safely Be Left to the Skill of the Dressmaker. What do the women think of the new styles for 1916? I have asked hundreds of them, and the only summing up that can be made from the various answers is a decided anxiety ```markdown ``` Black Silk and Pink Plumes Are Used to Reconstruct a Bonnet of Long Ago for Present Day Fashion. Every woman comes back to this, no matter how great a field you may take her through regarding the rest of the fashions. She is startled and disturb- MAKES DEMAND FOR CURVES Redingote, Just Now Popular Outer Garment, Must Fit Closely at Bust and Waist. The return of the distinctively marked waist was inevitable when once redingotes had been accepted by the average woman. The redingote, like the Louis XIV coat, is close fitting at bust and waist. It is so shaped that it molds the figure, and it does not look smart or attractive unless strongly marked curves are in evidence. A redingote demands a rounded bust and moderately rounded hips; the same may be said of Louis XIV coats. And these are the two most popular outer garments of the present season. A beautiful little Louis XIV coat which illustrates what has just been said was seen a short while ago. It was of stone gray material, and the lining was a rich chintz silk which showed deep orange and black flowers on an ivory ground. The big buttons were in mother of pearl. They were "knobby," like all the mother of pearl buttons of the present hour. The basque of the coat was very full at the hem, but at the waist the little garment was quite tight. Immense patch pockets appeared on either side, and there were deep reversed adorned with pearl buttons. This coat accompanied a short plaited skirt, and the gauntlet gloves were in stone gray doxkin. ENAMEL THE BUREAU DRAWER Much Cleaner Than the Employment of Linings and Pads and Far More Dainty. Much is gained if, instead of making linings or pads for the bureau drawers, the drawers themselves are made dainty and ready for the receptacles of articles. First give the inside as many coats of white paint as is necessary to give a clear white tone, and then a coat of white enamel. This gives a perfectly smooth surface, which is fresher than any other lining could be. The drawers look neat and attractive, and when cleaning is desired a simple wiping with a damp cloth produces perfect cleanliness. The same idea could be carried out with all shelves, cupboards and drawers in the house, whether for linen, china or kitchen utensils. They are more easily cared for than when arranged with other covers. This process makes a good substitute for the highly recommended glass shelves. New Colors in Middies. The middy for young girls has made final Look through your bag or box containing odds and ends of embroidery silk and let them prove useful in ornamenting guest towels and other things. It is well to have a few little towels on hand, not only for home use, but to be showered on girls whose engagements have been announced. The most attractive towels can be made by embroidering across their ends little flowers. These can be filled in with French knots made from the various colored silks. The result is really very satisfactory. Another gift—one appropriate for a baby—can be made of Turkish toweling and have on it a stork, a child or initials embroidered in the left-over silks. Since hand embroidery is so prevalent on hats, one can use remnants of silks or mercerized cottonts to delineate a design in many colors. The more cheerful they are in hue the better the effect. The silks can be used also to hold in place odd pieces of ribbon placed at intervals around ed by the growing acceptance of panniers and farthingales, and gathers and plains over the hips. There is really not so much cause for anxiety as there seems to be on the surface. The American type—that is, the woman with the broad shoulders, long waistline and flattened hips need not worry about anything in fashions; her slim hips solve all problems, for after all, the great battle of fashions during the centuries has been a question of whether or not you bulge out below the waist. However, every woman cannot hold herself up as the American type. She has all the curves that she is heir to, and diet, mental science and dancing cannot always reduce the curve that for generations was considered woman's chief beauty and is now considered her chief handicap. The reason that the women with curves need not worry about tifis incoming fashion for hip draperies which is firmly established already, is that the dressmakers have enough skill at their fingers' ends to make the fashion becoming to them. Naturally, when the hips are extended, the jackets are short; and in the spring of 1916, their very shortness will be used as a way of distending the hip line. Not one of them hangs straight down to the waist; they are all fluted out to give the appearance of ruffs—a trick which allows the skirt drapery to expand, as it is meant to do. Here is another important feature of the majority of the new coats; they hang open in front in order to show a great splash of barbaric color, placed beneath the front of the blouse at the waist line. When separate blouses are worn—not wash ones, but orate ones—this effect is obtained through a wide belt that has this brilliant ornamentation in front. It is difficult to say whether this work is Aslatic, American, Indian or Russian. It is usually made of glass beads in barbaric colors with splashes of Chinese embroidery. Sometimes the entire ornament is Chinese. Some of these belts might have been worn by Genghis Khan. Even the long and really ungraceful smock of last year has grown into a mildy by appearing much shorter this year and without so much fullness, so no belt is necessary. Plain reseda green with white collars and cuffs, also the all-over pink or light blue are in the spring showings in one shop for $1.25, really lovely colors, and in another shop for the same price are broad striped ones, brown and white, black and white and green and white. The short smocks come in heavenly pastel shades, smocked in white and big white polka dots are embroidered on the collar. These cost $2.98. The real yearning of a tailor made girl goes to a white flannel middy—Norfolk—with plaits and wonderful pockets, and all beautifully tailored. It costs $5. CHARMING COSTUME UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD A very charming creation is this combination of georgette crepe and novelty silk. The broad collar is of crepe, as well as the fluting. The flowers and buttons are of silk. Leghorn hat, covered with gray faille and trimmed with soft ostrich feathers. The skirt with its huge checks reminds one very much of the divided riding skirts worn by the cowgirls of the western prairies. Straight Neck Line A neck line straight across from shoulder to shoulder is not new but is being emphasized by one or two well-known houses, and though very unbecoming in heavy material, is not so bad when all of the bodice above the bust is of tulle or thin lace or semi-transparent chiffon. Cut lower than the base of the throat, this line is not so trying. Tricorna Favored. There are a good many three-cornered models among the new hats. Unlike the small, flower-trimmed toques, these hats are simply trimmed with a feather fancy or a bit of stiff ribbon. Chiffon With Serge. Light and charming effects are obtained by using chiffon or crepe with navy serge, the latter usually as a trimming. CAP and BELLS ROBSON'S JOKE WAS FAILURE Reason He Was Like Donkey Was Because He Was Born So, Was Wife's Startling Reply. "Robson, do you know why you are like a donkey?" "Like a donkey?" echoed Robson, opening his eyes wide. "I don't." "Because your better half is stubbornness itself." The jest pleased Robson immensely, for he at once saw the opportunity of a glorious dig at his wife. So when he got home he said: "Mrs. Robson, do you know why I am like a donkey?" He waited a moment, expecting his wife to give it up. But she didn't. She looked at him somewhat pityingly, as she answered: "I suppose it's because you were born so." The Opportune Moment. "Do you think your father will object to my marrying you?" "I think not. But don't ask him until after the first of the month." "Why not?" "Then he'll have all the bills in for latest hats and dresses and he'll be glad to give me away." UP IN THE AIR. Hickson—It's all up with Saylor. Dickson—Gracious! He's not dead!

WHY HE POSTPONED INQUEST Pompous Coroner, With Magnified Importance, Could Not Make Slav Understand Hir There had been a fatal accident at the railway crossing in a town in Iowa, and the coroner, a pompous old chap, who magnified both his office and its incumbent, had impaneled a jury for the inquest. There was only one witness of the accident, an illiterate Slav laborer, who could understand no English. With him the coroner began to struggle. "Can you speak English?" he asked. The man shook his head. "Can you speak German?" Again the man shook his head. "Can you speak Italian?" The same response. "Can you speak Russian? Can you speak Swedish?" were the next questions, to both of which the man signified in the negative. "It's no use, gentlemen," said the coroner, turning to the jury. "We can't proceed with the case. I've spoken to this man in five different languages and can't make him understand me."—Harper's Magazine. A New One. Here is another one about these little fliver automobiles that receive so much free advertising. It is going the rounds of a western vaudeville circuit. The first comedian scratches his left arm violently. "What is the matter?" asks the second comedian. "I was out to the —— plant the other day," replies the first one. "Do you suppose one of those things jumped on me?" Both Satisfied. "The best thing that ever happened to me," sneered the young man to his former employer, "was when you fired me. I went out and got a regular job." "That's all right," replied the old boss, "I'm glad you're satisfied. Firing you didn't hurt our firm a particle." A. News Center.
