THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 44. UNION UNION UNION CONDITIONS IN MEXICO ALARMING Poverty, Famine and Disease Make Outside Aid Imperative, Officials Believe. GOVERNMENT IS WEAKER Advailability of Intervention as Only Permanent Solution of the Problem Is Now Being Discussed; Money Problem Serious. Washington, D. C. — Reports to the state and war departments from official sources show alarming economic conditions in Mexico. Poverty, famine and disease have reduced the country, these reports show, to an extent that convinces many officials there is imperative need of outside aid. The result has been to create further discussion of the advisability of intervention to rehabilitate Mexico as the only permanent solution of the problem. Government Weak. From all information available the Carranza government is weaker today than it has been at any time since the close of the Carranza-Villa revolution. The refusal of Mexican merchants to accept Carranza's flat currency and the widespread strikes engendered by refusal of railroad workmen to accept this worthless money as wages have precipitated an industrial revolution that adds to the menacing situation produced by the growth of the military revolution against Carranza. Under the present condition the United States government, officials declare, is powerless to give financial aid to Carranza. It cannot even guarantee loans from private sources since moneyed interests apparently are unwilling to take the risk of a loan to the de facto Mexican-government unless the United States policies Mexico and takes charge of the customs collections to insure repayment of loans and interest. It is believed that Marlon F. Letcher, United States consul at Chihuahua City, will have valuable information to place before the state department when he arrives in Washington after his conferences with other consuls on the border. Carranza Lost His Chance. Carranza Lost His Chance. The impression is strong among army officials that Carranza has lost the chance given him when he was recognized to bring about order in Mexico. On the contrary, they point out that it requires upwards of 15,000 American troops in the northern tier of counties and an additional army of 25,000 troops along the border to prevent invading states close to the American line. The situation in the Big Bend district, officers believe, logically calls for the presence of troops on the Mexican side who can break up Mexican bands before they reach the border towns to commit depredations. Official advises say Carranza's new note may be expected soon. Ellise Arredondo, Carranza's ambassador designate, insists he has not been advised as to its contents. Information from other sources, however, is that, as previously stated, the note will approach an ultimatum in its demand for the withdrawal of American troops. BELIEVE NOMINATION LIES BETWEEN ROOSEVELT AND HUGHES. Washington, D. C.—A canvass of Republican senators, conducted privately on the probable choice by the Chicago convention of the candidate for president, reveals that the majority believe the nomination lies solely between Col. Roosevelt and Justice Hughes. Sentiment between these two men is closely divided, but out of discussions of the situation comes the crystallized opinion that the trend in favor of Col. Roosevelt is increasing on the ground that his position on big questions is known and that labor believes him to be its friend. Beat the Time Limit. New York City. — Patrick Harmon, pedestrian, backed up to the city hall. He had walked backwards all the way across the continent from San Francisco. The trip was made in 239 days, 21 days less than the period allotted for the feat. The hiker was accompanied by W. A. Baltazor, who walked the regular way to see that Harmon did not "fudge" on his promise. He won $5,000 by beating the time limit. Confesses She Killed Man. Iola, Ken—Mrs. Ruby Stephens confessed she called Clifford Kistner, a wealthy farmer, to the door of his home and shot him to death in the presence of his wife. Mrs. Stephens, a divorcee, is 23. Won't Be Try Cases San Francisco, Cal.-The United States circuit court of appeals denied a rehearing to James P. Smith, vice president and general manager of the Western Fuel Co.; Frederick C. Mills, superintendent, and Edward H. Mayer, chief welcher, convicted two years ago of conspiracy to defraud the government of customs duties and drawbucks on imported coal. Smith was sentenced to 18 months in San Quentin prison and fined $5,000; Mills to 18 months in San Quentin and Mayer to one year in jail. THE GAZETTE William F. Stone of Maryland is sergeant-at-arms of the Republican convention. CHARGE OHIO DOCTOR WITH BLACKMAIL Cleveland, O. — Secretly indicted for blackmail, Dr. Robert W. Dickey, the former candidate for mayor of Massillon, was arrested here by Cleveland detectives. Just before Easter Dr. Dickey visited Chief of Police Robert Ertel of Massillon and complained that his wife had caught her assistant, Alma Snider, stealing a pair of gloves. Mrs. Dickey operated a millinery store in Massillon. Girl Poisons Self. That night the Snider girl, whose age is given as 19, went home and took poison, from the effects of which she died a few hours later. While the girl lay dead at her home, a story was circulated in Massillon that Dr. Dickey had demanded the girl pay him $10 or suffer the consequences of the theft. Dr. Dickey said he asked for the money so that he could be sure Alma would tell her father and explain why she took the gloves. Roused by the story, neighbors of the Snider family congregated about the doctor's home, and so threatening did the demonstration become that the doctor left town. Later Mrs. Dickey disposed of the business and she, too, left Massillon. Secretly Indicted. Some days later a secret indictment charging blackmail was returned, by the Stark county grand jury against Dr. Dickey. Police have been looking for the doctor ever since. This week the doctor's furniture was traced to Cleveland and detectives watched while it was being uploaded at a house in Cedarav, Later Dr. Dickey put in an appearance at the house and was arrested by Detectives Jacob Sommers and John Connolly. He was taken to central police station, where Deputy Sheriff William Ehman of Stark county was waiting to take the doctor to Canton. WON'T AID THIRD PARTY CLAIMED ROOSEVELT WILL BACK G. O. P.'S CHOICE IF HE IS NOT A PACIFIST. Washington, D. C. — Col. Roosevelt will not be a foe to the Republican convention's nominee unless a pacifist candidate is named for president and a pacifist plank is written into the platform. The colonel will be in line and no third party fight will have his assistance unless the policies which he has enunciated recently with reference to military and naval preparedness and a strong foreign policy are rejected by the G. O. P. He does not believe that Justice Hughes should be nominated. As an evidence of good faith it is said the colonel will not go to Chicago, but will keep in touch with the situation from Oyster Bay. Postpone Funeral. Findlay, O. — Frank W. Price, who had been ill in the county infirmary, was reported dead and the superintendent ordered an undertaker to take charge of the body. When arrangements were made to prepare the body for burial the supposed corpse heaved a sigh and sat up. Price is still alive, but is in a serious condition. $10,000 for Auto Races $10,000. O.—management that the B. F. Goodrich Co. had donated $10,000 in cash for sweepstake prizes in four big automobile races to be held through the big race was made by H. E. Raymond, vice president. He will be given for first, second, third, fourth and fifth positions in the Sheepshead Bay races for the Metropolitan cup, just won by Rickenbacher, the indianapolis speedway races on Memorial day, the 200 mile race in Chicago June 10 and the 150 mile event at Des Moines June 26. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1916. GERMANS RETAKE FORT ROOSEVELT OUT OF DATE REFUSE TO SEND MORE COAST MEN Gen. Funston Has Requested Wär Department to Call Out State Guards. SAY EXPEDITION IS MENACED Instead of Sending Mexican Troops Into Bandit-Infested Districts They Are Being Concentrated Near Gen. Pershing's Lines. El Paso, Tex.—It is authoritatively reported here that Maj. Gen. Funston has again requested the war department to call out the national guard of Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The latest call for re-enforcements is said to be due to the refusal from Washington to withdraw additional men from the coast artillery for border patrol. Expedition Menaced. The menace to the Pershing expedition in Mexico by the big movement of the Carranza troops in Chihuahua has been made plain to United States military authorities. Gen. Jacinto Trevino, instead of sending his soldiers into the bandit-infested districts of eastern Chihuahua and northern Coahuila, has ordered them inward along the Mexican Central and Northwestern railways. The announcement is made that after the Carranza troops reach the strategic positions designated they will hunt bandits. This could be taken seriously were it not for the fact that the districts specified include the country which has been swept clean by the American forces. The advanced detachments of the northward moving horse from Torreon and Chihuluha have arrived at Villa Abhumada, only 51 miles south of the border. They were in command of the notorious bandit chiefman, Canuto Reyes. He gave up free-lancing for lost last week, was promptly incorporated into Trevino's army with the rank of general, given 3,000 men and sent north to prowl along the border. Only Enough Men to Care for Guns. San Antonio, Tex.—The war department has refused Gen. Funston's request for more of the coast artillery companies, on the ground that largely enough men are left now along the two coasts to take care of the big guns and prevent their deterioration. But with daily increase of the size of the Carranzista commands in northern Mexico; on the flanks of Gen. Pershing's positions, and the coincident increasing boldness of bandits in the regions controlled by the Carranzistas, the need of more troops is even greater than when Gen. Funston asked for additional coast artillery. Presumably the national guard of New York and Pennsylvania and, after those organizations, those of Ohio and Illinois, will be called into the federal service if the administration decides the situation is critical enough to demand it. Gen. Funston unquestionably has informed the secretary of war that the force at his command is insufficient to patrol the border adequately and maintain Pershing's command safe against any contingency. Marathon, Tex.--All of the American troops along the border have been warned of the threatened activities of bandits across the Rio Grande from Presidio. Capt. George Wieczork, in command at Marathon, has received the warning. Col. Rojias, at Ojinaga, reports Placidio Villaneue, a known Villista, at Las Mestenas, Agua Chile and Ancillillas, thyme border towns on the Mexican side of the river below Presidio, with about 400 men. FRENCH ADMIT LOSS AFTER FURIOUS FIGHTING; AUSTRRIANS GAINING IN ITALY. Paris, France.—The Germans have reoccupied Port Donauumont, while the French hold the immediate approach to that position. This announcement is made in the official communication issued by the French war office, which says that two divisions of Bavarians effected the recapture after a series of furious attacks. At Cumleres, east of Dead Man hill, the Germans, in a hand-to-hand assault, drove the remaining French forces from the village. Three hundred prisoners were taken. London, Eng.—The Austrians are widening their operations and preventing the Italians from concentrating considerable forces at threatened points. Their principal action in the Sugana and Adige valleys is going on with unabated energy and an important advance is reported along the Lessini mountains in Italian territory. Rome reports they are being driven from this district. U-Boat Slaks Four Vessels. London, Eng.—twenty-one members of the crew of the Greek steamship Istros have arrived at Turagona, Spain, in lifeboats. They report their vessel was torpedoed by an Austrian submarine. The Russian bark Regina has been sunk by a submarine. Her captain and grew arrived at Barcelona, Spain. The captain states that near Barcelona he met two Meboats containing the crews of two Italian sailing vessels, both of which were sunk by the same Austrian submarine. VICE_ADMIRAL H. T. MAYO C. HARRIS & EWING Vice Admiral Henry T. Mayo is to suc- cuer the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. WINDSIORM KILLS 9 AND INJURES 38 Oklahoma Town Wiped Off the Map by Tornado; Most of Dead Killed in Buildings. Denison, Tex. Nine persons were killed and 35 were injured and Kemp City, Okla., eight miles east of Denison, was wiped off the map by a tornado which swept a path threequarters of a mile wide and five miles long through the Kemp City section. Only three small dwellings remain standing in the town. Twelve business houses, a two-story hotel and 60 residences, were demolished. This is the second time in recent years that the little town of 300 has been visited by a tornado. Merchants said that the town probably would not be rebuilt. Eight were killed in the town, while the other victim, a child, was killed in the collapse of her father's home just across the Red River in Texas. Of the 35 persons injured, 36 are residents of Kemp City. Two daughters of Mr. McCullough were hurt at the time their younger sister was killed in the McCullough home, five miles east of Denison. Most of those injured were caught in the collapse of buildings while trying to reach storm cellars shortly after the storm broke. The bodies of the dead in several instances were found hundreds of yards from where their houses stood. The two-year-old child of Dr. and Mrs. Brinson, who were killed, was hurled 500 feet with flying debris when the Brinson residence was destroyed, but the child suffered only minor injuries. After the storm passed, emergency treatment was given the injured, in darkness, with rain falling in torrents. A special train, carrying 12 physicians from Denison, did not reach Kemp until several hours after the tornado passed. HENRY. FORD SAYS PEOPLE WILL ATTEND TO COLONEL WHEN PROPER TIME COMES. Detroit. Mich. — Before departing on a fishing trip, Henry Ford, in reply to Col. Theodore Roosevelt's speech in Detroit Friday, said: "It has been seven years since Roosevelt was president, and in that time he has entirely failed to understand the trend of events and sentiments of the people. "I am not important. The people are, and the people will attend to Roosevelt at the proper time. The trouble with the Detroit demonstration was that the armament and munitions crowd was too prominent in it." Find Nurse Dead. Cleveland, O.-With a bathrobe and a cloth saturated with chloroform pilled up over her face, Miss Kate Ritchie, 38, a nurse living at the home of Dr. F. M. Dumas, 10013 Hamden avenue N. E., was found dead on a couch in his office by Dr. Dumas when he returned home from a call. The doctor denies it was suicide. Seven Men Injured. Youngstown, Q.—When a Baltimore & Ohio light engine hit a railroad motor truck filled with workmen near here seven were injured, four seriously. Charles Smith, negro; John Swan, negro; Sam Malmjawa and J. E. Harate suffered cuts and bruises. All are in the hospital. They will probably recover. The other three were able to go to the hospital. The crash occurred at Medford, site of the new snow being prepared for the Chicago St. where the pedestrian was hit by packs. PROGRESS NOTED AT WILBERFORCE State Auditor Pays High Compliment to President W.J.S. Scarborough For Efficient and Economic Management of the University—Commencement Exercises Will Be Held In June. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Wilberforce, O. The present scholastic year at Wilberforce university has been one of constant effort on the part of its president, Dr. William S. Scarborough, and the faculty to make it the most successful in the long and eventful history of the institution. While not all has been accomplished which the president desired nor have all the plans for future development matured, the results are highly gratifying. The students have made good in their studies, and the commencement exercises to be held in June will afford a period of satisfaction and joy to faculty, students and the board of trustees. The slogan now is a greater Wilberforce university, and in keeping with it provision has already been made for several new buildings, some of which, according to arrangements, will be erected this summer and fall. Among the first buildings to be erected will be a gymnasium, a central recreation building for all class purposes and a hospital. Buildings for other purposes which are much needed and for which plans will be perfected are a science hall, a college shape, a conservatory of music and an administration building. The fact is not generally known among the great majority of the colored people that the first organized effort for the education of our people was perfected at Columbus sixty-nine years ago. At that time there was organized and established what was then known as Union seminary. The establishment of Union secondary crystallized five years later in the establishment and incorporation of Wilberforce university, fittingly named after William Wilberforce, who was England's greatest abolitionist, at Tawawa Spring, now Wilberforce, O, just three miles out of North and fifty-five miles from Columbus, the point at which the first organized effort within the race was made for the education of the race in this country. Wilberforce university is the only exclusively conducted institution for the education of Negroes by Negroes in this country, to which the federal government details a regular army officer to instruct its young men in military training. By reason of this a graduate of Wilberforce becomes eligible, according to the rules of the war department at Washington, to take the examination required by the government to become an officer in the United States regular army. There are only two schools in Ohio where military instruction is given under supervision of a regular army officer detailed by the United States government—the Ohio State university at Columbus and Wilberforce university in this town. The Ohio state auditor in his report paid a high compliment to the efficient and economical management of Wilberforce by its present officers when he stated that "the per capita cost of each student is the lowest of any institution for manual training and higher education in the state." Again, the clearest possible way, he gave one of the prime reasons why Wilberforce has done and is doing such a great work when he said: "Here there are no artificial distinctions created by wealth. There is no indulgence in social prodigality. The students are a homogeneous body, all enduring the same privileges and opportunities." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. TEXAS KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS MEET IN DALLAS JUNE 13 Lively Times Expected at Coming Session of State Grand Lodge. Dallas, Tex.—The big secret society event scheduled for this city in June is the meeting of the Texas grand lodge of Knights of Pythias, which will convene here on Tuesday, June 13. Great interest is being shown in the coming meeting by the subordinate lodges of the order throughout the state. Large delegations from all sections of the commonwealth are expected. Ample preparations for the entertainment of visitors are being made by the local committees, which has about completed its plans. Local Chairman E. D. Wilson urges all persons who expect to attend this great gathering of Pythians to send their names to him at 1034 Hawkins street so that assignments to homes may be made in advance. Many changes are likely to occur in the list of grand lodge officials at the coming session. It has already been announced by some that a campus to be presided over by William McDonald will be held before the grand lodge convenes. The Frazier hotel on North Central street will be the center for delegates and visitors and also where the large M. reception will be given by the Young Men's Progressive club, of which the Hon. J. H. Dixon is president, Mr. P. Fraser, proprietor of the Frazier hotel, is the recording secretary and Mr. S. T. Simpson is the treasurer. Functions in honor of the Hon. William McDonald, Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati and other grand officers have been planned. Mr. Jones is president of the Central Regalia company at Cincinnati and also of the National Fraternal congress, which was organized at Cincinnati in February and now has a membership of over seventy-two secret or benevolent organizations. One of the grandest features of the occasion will be the exercises dedicating the new Pythian temple. The Fraser hotel building is not only the headquarters for the delegates and visitors on this occasion, but is one of the leading points of vantage for the business of the city. E. W. D. Welsch, national secretary of the Colored Retail Merchants' association, the Welsch Furniture company, the Central Regalia company, Texas and the Central Printing company each occupy sections of the lower floor of the hotel. The business and professional men of Dallas will co-operate with this local committee in making the stay of the delegates and visitors profitable. ```markdown ``` Concord Sprinters Make Fine Showing At the annual spring athletic games of the Sunday School Athletic league of Brooklyn, held the second week in May, nine boys of the Concord Baptist Sunday school won medals. Reginald Austin finished first in the senior 60 yard handcap, and Howard Thompson won the junior 50 yard championship. Iving J. Winters won two medals. He competed in the 50 yard dash handcap midget and the 110 yard novice. The school would have won the meet but for the fact that four boys who finished first in the relay were disqualified on a technical point. The matter was referred to the board on protest of the Concord team. The Concord Baptist Sunday school is the largest among our people in Brooklyn and is a prominent member of the Sunday School Athletic league of Brooklyn. N. B. Dodson is the superintendent. Union Alumni to Meet Tuesday, May 30 The Rev. William M. Moss, D. D. corresponding secretary of the Alumni association of the Virginia Union university, has issued a call to all members of the association to be present at the annual meeting of the alumni, to be held at the university, Richmond, Va. on Tuesday, May 30. Other events at the university for the week beginning May 28 are the baccalaureate sermon, Monday, May 29, graduation exercises of the academy and Wednesday, May 31, commencement exercises. North Texas Summer Normal School. The session of the North Texas Summer Normal school of Greenville, Tex. will convene on Monday, June 5. Resides the regular normal courses; there will be special courses in music, Spanish, German, Greek and Latin. Professor T. W. Pratt heads the faculty, which consists of H. W. Terry, Sulphur Springs; Miss C. E. Baker, H. Pasio, M. L. Becton, Clarksville, W. J. Taylor, Honey Grove, and Mrs. L. C. Souffre, Paris. IN MIGH AND LOVE BIG ADVANCE IN SOCIAL SERVICE Keen Interest Exhibited In a New York Center. Many Organizations Co-operate In Movement to Put Work of Lénox Community Center on Permanent Footing—Plan For the Entertainment of Summer Visitors a Feature. New York.—The idea of a community center is to strengthen the community interest and spirit by a common meeting place or center, where the people may gather for enjoyment and to consider together ways and means for the betterment of the neighborhood. The interest in community welfare and environment is certainly more manifest in small towns and cities than it is in the large urban centers. This feeling of immediate concern and regard for what is happening in a neighborhood is the natural result of its influence on one's family life. There is a desire to see the community develop and grow larger where one plans to live permanently. In large cities life is inclined to be individually selfish owing to the fact that the stress of living and a disinterest in the things which do not concern oneself are very characteristic of the city resident. The frequency with which people move to and from a neighborhood is another cause for a total lack of interest in community welfare. Realizing this condition, the People's institute has secured from the board of education permission to use the various school buildings-as club centers in which to develop the real community spirit. Lenox community center is one of these centers in New York city. It is governed by colored people and is the first community center in the entire country to be organized by them. The story of its organization and growth is interesting. After six weeks of investigation of the needs, social and civic, of the neighborhood known as Harlem, Lenox community center was established in July, 1915. A provisional committee composed of forty-five prominent men and women in the neighborhood was formed to assist the executive secretary sent by the People's institute to inaugurate the center. This provisional committee, subdivided into five working committees—finance, membership, activities, constitution and nomination—launched the work most immediately needed in the community, such as a play street, a penny lunch for children, two weekly dances, public baths, free game room and motion pictures. The committee also proceeded to work up the permanent organization for which there would be a paid membership. The present permanent organization, which has been in existence since January, 1916, is governed by a council of twenty-five members, who follow the custom set by the professional committee and immediately upon their election subdivide themselves into five standing committees, so that each person may know just which part of the center's development he or she is expected to look after. Lectures, concerts, mothers' club, alumni club, cooking after the boys who graduate from the school, athletic association, choral club, monthly reception to the community, roller skating, sawing classes for girls, business classes and an orchestra and the supply of goons for meetings for local organizations, such as social and civic clubs, military and athletic organizations, some of which have been granted charters and operate as part of the community center with a representative in the council. Some of the clubs which have done excellent work are the Negro millin, boy scouts, Junior American guards, United Civle league, Harlem branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, John M. Lungston company, K. of. P.; Harriet Tubman club, Junior Aris club, Jamaica club, Junior Park Protective league, Temple volunteers and Ferguson Memorial association. Realizing that the summer will bring to New York many hundreds of young colored men and women who will be strangers, the council takes great pleasure in announcing extensive plans to entertain visitors during their stay in the city and extend to all a hearty invitation to make Lenox community center a meeting place for recreational and social acquaintance with the local people. To students, preachers, teachers and persons of all professions a hearty welcome is extended. The center is at Lenox avenue and West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. Out of town, visitors may address Miss Alleyne Archibald, executive secretary-care the center. Union Baptist Church In New Home. The Union Baptist church in Philadelphia. Rev. Dr. Parks pastor, included a three-week program of exercises, dedicating its new office on Tuesday, May 16. The plot on which the building stands was purchased at a cost of $28,900. The new edifice is built of Holmesburg granite and terra cotta in the English style. The Rev. Dr. A. Clyde Powell of New York predicts the edifice will soon be completed. One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, MAY 27, 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 Boston (Mass.) Guardian says the A. M. E. general conference's invitation to Col. Theodore "Browns ville" Roosevelt to address it is a "disgrace to the church." It is also an insult to the entire race. We certainly have some queer people among us. Our esteemed conferee, of the Pittsburg Courier, has been misled by a prejudiced Columbus newspaper-man, Mrs. Mosby did not ask for "social equality" in her reply to the request for help from the white sisters in the suffrage movement of that city. See Columbus letter elsewhere in this paper. It is a waste of time to be looking and appealing to Congress for relief from mob violence, particularly lynching. The U. S. Supreme court long ago decided that the several states must regulate the matter. It is their RIGHT to do so and not that of the federal government. The latter is powerless in the matter, under the law, says the U. S. Supreme court. Ralph D. Cole of Findlay, former representative in congress, will sound the keynote at the Republican state convention at Columbus, June 21. He was chosen "by the committee after former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker and Senator Warren J. Harding had declined. Down deep in his heart, Ralph has anything but a friendly feeling for "Promise" Willis. Yes, he, too, has had an experience with the latter, he cannot soon forget. "The Colored brother" was decidedly conspicuous by his absence from the Willis banquet at the Moose club, this city, Saturday evening, Good! That is as it should be, always. Only four or five of the nearly five thousand Afro-American voters of Cleveland attended. If Ohio ever had a governor who has proven a thorough disappointment to our people throughout the state, it is Willis. We have lots of company, too, as many of the governor's best friends, two years ago, are his bitterest political enemies, today, largely because of his failure to keep his promises and because of one of his two greatest weaknesses—"handing" his constituents so much "hot air". The other "greatest" weakness is love of chicken gizzards to the indigestion point. QUEER "LEADERS." Rev. Ernest Lyon, editor of the Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth and an itinerant preacher in the M. E. Church for thirty-three years, hasn't a very good opinion of the ninety Afro-American delegates to the M. E. general conference which convened recently at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. He says: "No one among them seems wise enough to grip the body and command it to do what would redound to the good of the race in the church. The men that are established in their own interest that they hardly have the time to concentrate their efforts, and the men of less pretensions among them discovering this fact have unfortunately lost confidence in their ability for constructive work. No caucus agreement seems binding, and separate camps, with their petty leaders are established on curbstones and in the rear of buildings, with one or two white men who represent the interest of the church in occupying the center of the group and commanding their attention." Continuing, 'Editor Lyon says that after a delegate from Pittsburgh had made reference to "drunken Negro soldiers" in such a way as to reflect most unfortunately on the entire race, the ninety Afro-American delegates, with one exception, the representatives of the 350,000 Afro-American members of the M. E. Church, sat "mum" and for a second time during the life of the conference failed to do their clear duty. When it is remembered that such men as Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Rev. R. E. Jones, I. Garland Penn and others almost as prominent were delegates, the seriousness of his charges can be appreciated. THE MINORITY. In the course of the parliamentary maneuvering in the House while the army bill was in progress toward a committee of conference, it became necessary to yield the floor to "some member of the minority to make a motion upon which the members of the House might go on record. Mr. Mann, the Republican leader, claimed this right as belonging to the Republicans and he purposed to move that the House conferees be instructed to accept the Senate proposal for an army of 250,000 men. A vote on this motion would have recorded the membership of the House on a most important factor in the program of national defence—and the Democrats were anxious to avoid such a test. Accordingly, Speaker Clark accorded the floor to Representative Meyer London, the sole Socialist member, as the spokesman for the minority. Mr. London made a motion to send the bill to conference, the Republicans declined to vote, and the Democrats won a temporary victory. The episode is instructive, but it may arise later as a precedent to plague the Democratic party. Mr. Wilson, in making up the trade commission and the federal reserve board proceeded on the theory that the minority members should be, not regular Republicans, but Progressives and Independents—and generally he has shown a disposition to disregard the Republican party as an essential element in the political composition of the nation. Now Champ Clark takes a leaf from Wilson's book, and the Democratic party, in its executive and legislative branches, seems committed to the proposition that the Republican party is not the real minority. To speak the truth, the Republicans will soon be the real majority. It may then prove to be their pleasure to recognize, not the Democrats, but the Socialists or the Prohibitionists or the Pacifists as the minority. Champ Clark will not like that—but there will stand the precedent which he himself has just set up. WILSON AN INTENSE PARTISAN "A great stickler for performance of platform pledges" is the praise which one of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's devotees bestows upon the Democratic leader. On the same day that this was published, President Wilson delivered his address in Washington, D. C., making an appeal for nonpartisanism, which address particularly emphasizes the strict partisanship he has practiced during his administration. Notwithstanding President Wilson, personally, and the Democratic platform as well, pledged this administration to uphold the merit system, the Democrats have lost no opportunity to set aside the spirit and letter of the Civil Service law and fill public offices with Democrats with little regard for merit and qualification. In this connection it may be well to remark that the Democratic party will be somewhat embarrassed by the fact that Mr. Marshall, of Indiana, is to be renamed for Vice-President, and will be Wilson's running mate. When the Federal Reserve Banking act was before Congress, there was a tie vote in the Senate and Vice-President Marshall cast the deciding vote which set aside the civil service law, so far as it would apply to employees of the Federal Reserve System. Marshall cannot escape the responsibility. Neither, in fact, can President Wilson, for, as the New York "Times" said on the day after the bill was passed, "it would be ludicrous to say that it was beyond the influence of the President, had he chosen to exercise it." There can be no doubt whatever that one word from the White House would have prevented the Senate from adopting this obnoxious provision, and certainly would have prevented Vice-President Marshall from casting the deciding vote in favor of the spoils system against the merit system. Wilson and Marshall running as candidates who pose as "sticklers for the performance of platform pledges" will be a master piece of satire. RECIPROCITY DEMANDED By Our Women of Columbus and They Are Right. Columbus, O.—"Come and stand by us in helping women to get their rights," appealed the Franklin County Suffrage association to our women of this city a few weeks ago. "Nothing doing on 'votes for women' until you promise to help the Colored folk get something like equal privileges in voting." She added that the substance of the answer made in a statement filed with the local Suffrage association. And there the issue stands. "We have nothing to say against equal suffrage," said Mrs. Minnie B. Mosby, 604 Mt. Vernon Ave., secretary of the Columbus branch of the N. A. A. C. P., "but before we come out in favor of women's suffrage we believe the white women, backing the movement, should show their willingness to help women, my people in local theaters, hotels, restaurants and at the soda fountains." Our women remained at the meeting long enough to hear Miss Sessions lecture. WORKMEN FIND GOLD. Watches, Rings, Fob, Money and Are Happy A Valuable Stump—A $25,000 Find. Dover, Del.—Afro-American workmen on the farm of Gen. A. R. Benson have unearthed what is supposed to be a cache of stolen goods. So far there have been found four watches, two of which are gold; three women's solid gold rings, a solid gold watch fob, gold breastpins, a $20 gold piece, two $10 gold pieces, two $5 gold pieces and one $25 gold piece. All were found around a large stump, which the workmen, last week, were removing. All of the jewelry and money were in a good state of preservation, except one, a nickel one, in which the works had rusted. The latest find, the $20 gold piece, inspired the workmen to greater diligence. About a month ago an Afro-American found $25,000 hidden on a farm where he was working in Tennessee and "lit out." He has not been heard from since. FOUR NEW ONES Louisville, Ky.—The A. M. E. Zion church has elected four new bishops, viz. Rev. L. W. Lyles, editor of the Quarterly Review, Mobile, Ala.; Rev. R. B.

Moore of Grand Rapids, Mich., is an engineer on the N. Y. Central Ry. His first run as an engineer was in June 1878. The Chinese University team from Honolulu, Hawaii defeated the Wilberforce University ball team, May 15; score 8 to 8. The Philadelphia Weekly Tribune, Chris, J. Perry, editor, calls attention to "the disgraceful scenes in the A. M. E. general conference." Bishop-elect Alex. P. Camphor formerly was president of the College of West Africa at Monrovia, and from 1902 to 1907 was U. s. vice consul general of Monrovia, of which Monrovia is the capital. T. Howe, the crack sprinter of the Boston Y. M. C. A. who won the J. B. Tailor trophy at the Smart Set meet, is to join the N. Y. City Irish-American A. C., and will train under the great Lawson Robertson. Americans were burned to death and between 30 and 40 badly injured in a panic resulting from a fire in a motion picture theater at Wallacecon, 12 miles from Norfolk, Va. The building was destroyed. J. W. Wilson (white), a liquor dealer, of Gary, Ind., is said to have run five times, once C. Gaines wife and nine-year-old, once the couple have gone to Columbus. O. Rev. Gaines was in Chicago carrying on revival meetings. Bellevue and Dayton, Ky., are greatly excited, and gossips are enjoying to the fullest extent speculation as to who is the father of a white child born to a 17-year-old Colored girl who, with her offspring, is at Speers' hospital at this time. She has been employed in white families in the two towns mentioned—Cincinnati (O,) Union. Afro-American of Jacksonville, Fla., are showing their resentment toward Jewish students whose son is alleged to have raped an 18-year-old girl of the race, by refusing to patronize his department store. It has a large Afro-American patronage, probably 90 per cent, of its total business. Crazed by the loss of customers, the merchant has attempted suicide. Charles S. Morris, age 16, son of Rev. Charles S. Morris of Norfolk, Va., a native of Louisville, Ky., who was sent by Wilson academy, Nyack, N. Y., where he is the only Afro-American student, to Mt. Vernon high school recently to enter the preliminary oratorical contest under the auspices of the Hamilton college, won out, when his students, represented as many high schools, sought win the first prize, which was $20 in gold. Subject for the contest, "A Plea for Cuba." After two days' trial a jury at Jeffersonville, Ind., recently, in the suit of Nathaniel Marable against the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Ry. Co., for $2.645.5 in wages, returned a verdict for the full amount. The plaintiff, a porter, alleged that when employed for seven years as a porter he was required to perform the duties of a brakeman. The porters were carried, it was alleged, to comply with the fine train crew law, to be paid for the difference in the wages paid porters and brakemen. Several similar actions are pending there. Bishop Isaiah B. Scott, retired and pensioned, will receive one-half his salary as bishop "when active." Relative to this, the Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth, Dr. Ernest Lyon, editor says: "Why then did he retire? Was his retirement voluntary or was he forced out? His retirement was not altogether alternative, and the reasons are apparent: First, Because Bishop Scott is a Negro, and as such transfer to another field was impossible; second. Because at the retirement of Bishop Hartzell he would be the senior M. E. bishop in Africa, a condition undesirable to the pride of the dominant element in the church, and third, but not, by any means the least, because of prejudice to the Negro which has been the cause of criminalization in the church. Editor Lyon is an itinerant preacher in the M. E. Church of 33 years' standing. son, Gilbert Williams and Floyd Holland of Lincoln school—Mrs. Lyman Kilgore and daughter, Virginia, of Worthington; Miss Beatrice Williams and Mrs. Eva Rockhold of Columbus, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Williams, Mr. Chas, Mrs. J. B. Williams, J. J. Burr at Biehn, and G. M. Atchison in Cincinnati—Mr. Starling Hancock is visiting his sister, Mrs. Redman, in Circilleau. SMITHFIELD—Mr. and Mrs. G. Binns and Mr. and Mrs. J. Beall are in Wheeling, Saturday. The former have purchased a Mitchell car—Homer and Jas. Harris were guests of Mr. and Mrs. D. Christian, Sunday.—Mr. and Mrs. Foster Rucker, Miss Francis Adams and sister were guests of Mrs. A. Palmer, Saturday—Medames A. Henderson, Julia Davis and Miss N. Harris were in Brilliant and Steubenville, last week. Quite a crowd from here and neighboring towns attended hazing at Enmore Sunday, Mrs. C. Green, D. Linen, Rufus and E. Smith, D. Freeman and others from McIntyre, were here week.—Miss Anna Howard spent last Wednesday in Steubenville—Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Freeman of Dillonville, visited her mother, Mrs. E. H. Harris, Sunday.—Mr. E. Jones of Steubenville, visited his mother, Sunday.—Messrs. Hicks, J. and Ed. Fowler of Bradley, were here, and Mrs. Thomas passed through here, last week. CAMPHOR SUCCEEDS SCOTT. Saratoga Springs. N. Y.—Rev. Alexander P. Camphor, of Birmingham, Ala., was elected missionary bishop for Liberia, Africa, on the second ballot by virtually a unanimous vote. He is president of Central Alabama College at Birmingham, and succeeds Bishop Isiah B. Scott, who recently resigned the position. Rev. Eben S. Johnson, (white), of Sloux City, Ia., was elected missionary bishop for the remainder of Africa. "Notes of a Busy Life" Our advertisers want your trade.

Included with recently invented sun goggles is a shade to protect a wearer's nose from sunburn. Sixty miles of thread woven from the fiber of a species of Italian nettle weighs but two and a half pounds. Sharp points in the inside of the lid of a new egg cup cut the shell away without disturbing the contents. About 1,729 miles of railroads in the United States have been electrified to about 1,278 in all foreign lands. Bombay averages more than seventy-two inches of rain a year and gets most of it within four or five months. A wall tie that grips half a dozen bricks instead of two, as customary, has been invented by a Scotch builder, according to English scientist, W. H.

Miss Maude Meagher is the world's successful water of masques. Woman in Denmark, Finland and Sweden outnumber the men by over 300,000. For her relief work in behalf of French war sufferers, Mrs. Edith Wharton, the novelist, has been presented with the French Legion of Honor medal. Miss Grace R.

SOME INTERE NTERESTING FACTS SOME INTERESTING FACTS A curious tree, the berries of which make excellent candies, is to be found at Table bay, near the Cape of Good Hope. The vegetable tallow tree also grows in the Azores, in Sumatra, in Algeria and in China. In the Island of Chauan large quantities of oil and tallow are extracted from its fruit. A process has been perfected in France for applying colors to glass by heat so that stained glass windows can be made without fastening many pieces of glass of different hues together. For the convenience of women there has been designed a set of a hair dryer, curling iron and comb, each of which can be heated in turn from the same electric light socket. German scientists who have invested the wood of trees for use as human food to eke out the supply of ordinary breadstuffs report that wood contains large quantities of sugar, starch and oil and small quantities of albumen, particularly in the winter --- 1 I'LL TRY When difficulties line his way, I like to hear a fellow say: 'I will!' About Women SMILES Often in her rambles in the shops the watchful needlewoman will be able to pick up small remnants of crash, just a little too long for towels or of too fine a quality. These she can make up into numerous artistic and useful articles if she but takes the time. There is a new kind ofudge apron which calls for a fine crack toweling. A straight piece of toweling about three-quarters of a yard long makes the front of the apron reaching to the shoulders. To this are attached straps which pass over the shoulders, cross the back and fasten to the front piece just at the waist line at the sides. This is a little cooler apron Bacon—Don't you think there is a great similarity between a political platform and one on a trolley car? Egbert—Sure; nobody's supposed to stand on either. Lucky.

The food elements are found principally in the twigs and sapwood of the tree. The hardwoods contain the most starch but considerable oil. Pine and spruce contain too much resin to be used as food, while oak and willow contain too much tannin. The wood must be finely ground and mixed with the usual breadstuffs in order that the digestive organs can utilize it. The most rapidly-promoted man in the British army is Leunt. Col. W. F. Austin of the Seventeenth reserve battalion of the Cheshire regiment, who enlisted as a private in that regiment on August 20, 1914. He enlisted as a stranger, with only some militia experience behind him, and rose rapidly through the noncommissioned rank to a commission, and then from quartermaster to adjutant, company commander and battalion adjutant, with the result that at the end of eleven months he was commanding a regiment. than the kind which slips over the head, and has an entire back of the crash and requires less material, a yard being almost enough. A suitable cross-stitch design is worked at the bottom of the apron and the entire edge is blanket-stitched with blue, even to the joinings of the straps at the shoulder line. Snaps under covered buttons hold the straps at the sides. A mending bag of generous proportions can be made from a length of narrow crash. The top is slightly curved out to fit the waist and a belt of crash starts from one side and snaps at the other. The bottom is turned up into a deep pocket, which is embellished on the outside with a design of scattered buttons, spools of thread, scissors, etc. The entire edge of the bag is blanket-stitched in blue. DECREE IS THAT SPORTS CLOTHES ARE TO RULE. For the Majority of Women It Means an Increased Expenditure for the Wardrobe—Gay Colors to Be in Order.

One New England statistical office, the proprietor believing in fresh air, has offices that are practically out of doors, making it necessary in winter for the typlasts to wear gloves, and as these cause frequent errors through striking two keys instead of one, small curved sticks have been put in use with which, instead of the fingers, the keys were struck safely, one at a time. His Plane. "Have you made all your plans for next summer?" asked the fashionable man. "Oh, yes," replied the citizen of modest means. "My old dy swatter will last through another season with reasonable care, my buzz fan is in pretty fair condition, and I dare say I shall be able to buy the usual quantity of ice."

"Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins; "but I always use up more gasoline than the difference'll buy in order to find a lot of those places." DRESS FOR SUMMER HATS OF VARIED DESIGN --- Wear Costumes Much Alike For the Majority of Women It Means an Increased Expenditure for the Wardrobe—Gay Colors to Be in Order. In other days dressmakers did not smile when women insisted that they would wear informal clothes throughout the summer. This meant a number of white duck skirts made at home, shirtwists aplenty that were S. W. H. Golf Coat and Skirt. Coat of Black Jersey and Black and Yellow Checked Skirt. picked up here and there, one sweater that was bought for five dollars at a department store and one hat, if any, that did not represent much of an outlay in money. But today the prophecy that sports clothes will rule for the next four months brings a look of ecstasy into the faces of all who sell woman's apparel, for along this path lie riches. Sports clothes are de luxe this season. No woman will content herself with one such costume; she will buy as long as her money holds out. This is the reason for the smile that the dressmakers and the shopkeepers Milliners Incline to the Picturesque in the Shapes Put Forward for Fashion's Approval. The newest dress hats incline to picturesque brims and a flat crown. They are, in fact, quite the antithesis of the directoire or mushroom shapes and are designed with a view to their proper completion of taffeta, satin or serge frocks. Reboux has used ostrich feathers to band a Gainsborough shape, and Talbot has also set the seal of approval on ostrich plumes by using the latter to emphasize the cavailer picturesqueness of models from that house. Lisere, leghorn, tagal, crin lace and Milan are the straws favored. A curious combination is shown in a Milan sailor from Reboux which has the crown and upper brim made of gray worsted. The worsted is laid in strips without any attempt at a fancy design and there is a pompon of the same posed directly in front. There are other hats made of straw with an angora surface. Doubtless these will be very good for early spring. Another strange contribution to the list is a hat made of blue taffeta combined with a braid made of cork in its natural color. The use of patent leather braided in basket weave is not new to this season, although it is a candidate for renewed favor. Then there are the confetti hats sent to America by Jeanne Duc. Models of this sort are of medium sailor shape and have the crown liberally sprinkled with tiny disks of brilliant color in confetti suggestion. Be Sure Gloves Are Correct. In no detail of dress is the knowledge of fine discrimination in sartorial things more evident than in the choice of gloves. Yet a surprising number of women, otherwise well-dressed, make mistakes in goosewear. For instance, white glace kid gloves are not correct in the morning, unless one is on the way to a luncheon or some other formal affair; yet how many women one meets on a morning's shopping expedition gloved in formal white? Fawn-colored or bisque gloves are now more fashionable in Paris French Fancy is for Sisters to Dress In Garments That Have Quite Marked Resemblance. In France it is often the custom for two sisters to dress alike, with some little personal differences in the style features. Two blue taffeta frocks are a very good example of this idea. Jet is used on one; on the other a gold tapestry braid. The frills are of malines on one, of fringed plaited taffeta on the other. In one the sleeves are of net; on the other lace. Fringe and fringed out taffeta ruchings are noted in the trimmings of many dress edges. The large ruffled or plaited ruches of taffeta or ribbon, which are used to outline afternoon and evening coats, have picot edges. They are never hemmed. Sometimes they are outlined with velvet ribbon of extremely narrow width, which helps keep their flare. Narrow folds of cloth about half an inch wide are used like braid on wear. Each week is taxed to its utmost in turning out a dozen or more new suggestions, and for all such bait there is not only a nibble but a good-sized bite. Women who have indulged in one tailored suit for the spring, which they intended to make serve through the autumn, are buying four suits with much paraphernalia and many accessories to match. The wearing of sports clothes keeps you in the atmosphere, say Newport and Bar Harbor, and the woman who has never even wielded a rocket at the Casino in Newport or gone on a picnic to Jordan's pond in Bar Harbor, is nevertheless, getting ready to adorn herself with faunting awning skirts, tennis shoes, gay sweaters and colored stockings. All that she is asked to do is sit serenely in the sunshine in her plumage of a paroquet so that she will not make a discordant note in the funkelike riot of colors. Green and black checks are widely used for sports suits made of cloth, also for top coats. Women who play golf a good deal are making a run for a suit with a slightly rippling skirt and a short jacket, made of bright green and black checked home spun; there is also a two-inch belt of the sturdiest black grained leather with a silver harness buckle.

Animal head scarfs are among the novelties of the season. They have recently come over from Paris and promise to be much used by women needing a light wrap across the shoulders or on the head, while traveling. In making these scarfs animals' heads are cut from figured silk, cretonne, chintz or other material and sewed neatly by hand to a piece of georgette crepe, chiffon, crepe de chine or other soft silk, two yards long and twenty-seven inches wide, in groups. In some cases the animals' heads are outlined by pencil on a deeper shade of silk other than the scarf and basted to the scarf, then hemstitched by machine. These scarfs are selling now in the novelty houses at from $10 to $20, but can be made by the ingenious woman for less than one-tenth of the store cost. One is well worth the trouble and very satisfactory when completed. If one prefers the ends can be hemed and then hemstitched, but the fringe makes a soft finish. than pure white for dressy wear, and the informal glove is of washable kid gloves. NEW BASQUE GOWN A Baque gown of taffetta with lace and batiste yoke laced at the front with ribbons; three skirt skirt. This is the latest of Paris' popular fashions. some imported frocks. One Bernard tailored suit of tan gabardine has two of these folds of the cloth placed touchings. These cover the four-inch hem top of the skirt edge. Six butt-onholes are outlined by slightly narrow folds shaped something like the hook of a hook and eve. Unique Suit. A unique coat suit of white serge seen recently at one of the winter resorts had a collar, revers, wide cuffs and a wide belt of black kid. The revers and cuffs were edged with hunter's green suede, and the belt was but toned with green suede buttons through large buttonholes piped with the green. Twin Petticoats. Quite new this season is the twi underskirt. This is made with a woll fitting yoke, from which two circu xirtae are suspended. FROCK HAS CHARM Simplicity, Beauty and Smartness in Combination. Style Suitable for All Forms of Housewear, and in Fine Materials Most Appropriate for the Afternoon or Dinner Occasions. No better example of simplicity in dress, combined with beauty and smartness, is to be found than in this summer frock. It is one that can be duplicated in style in silks, and in chiffons and fabrics suitable for use in the house. Inexpensive goods will serve for a morning frock, and finer qualities for afternoon and dinner wear at home. The dinner dress for formal affairs must always be decoilete. While this design may be made up in one piece or of deep embroidered floucing, the general scheme shows how dotted goods can be combined with plain fabrics to create a very charming frock. The design can be carried out in dotted swiss combined with plain swiss or batiste or mull. Any of these associate favorably with embroidery of the same sheerness or quality. Another simple yet exquisite combination is made with rows of footing sewed at intervals on plain goods. The footing can be purchased by the yard or by the piece, but if it be not easily obtainable, cut 4. Simple Thin Frock. net in the desired width. Net, by the yard, is much cheaper than footing, but is not so easy to sew on, as the edges must be carefully turned under and the goods must not be stretched in the sewing. Is not the waist of this frock charming? It is just a loose, full blouse, with seams under the arms and on the shoulders. The decoration consists wholly of a frilled revers and collar, with ribbon run through a beading. Instead of this, however, a band of the trimming goods may be added inside the frill. The sleeves, too, not only are easy to make, but are both practical and petty, and any attractive silk or satin girdle or sash may be worn.—Washington Star. Initials Easy to Fashion. It is considered very smart now to carry a colored handkerchief to match your costume. If you are patient and clever, you may be smarter still by embroidering your handkerchief in a small initial or monogram in color. One clever girl solves the monogram or group of three initials by copying her personal monogram from her stationery. She has to enlarge it usually, though in some cases this would not be necessary. If you cannot draw a good block letter, trace some particularly good-looking letters from the caption of an advertisement in a paper or magazine. Combine your letters in a square, a diamond, a circle or a wreath. The more tailored handkerchiefs with plaid borders or striped centers require the plainer monogram. On colored handkerchiefs use white for the letters; on white or plaid grounds, use the predominating color. The beautiful colors of the silk handkerchiefs so much in favor offer splendid opportunity for embroidering initials in equally as beautiful colors matching or harmonizing with the kerchief itself. Some very charming handkerchiefs are seen with a corner or two filled in with appliqued flowers. The flowers are held in place with blanket stitches. Liberal Use of Braiding. Braided designs are so much in vogue for trimming dresses that the needlewoman should be able to gain some very satisfactory results from copying or modifying the designs Fancy Underbodice. The latest thing in fancy underbodies is substantial, but it is not practical—if you object to having such garments cleaned instead of laundered. For it is made chiefly of sash ribbon, the broadest that comes in heavy moire. A strip of ribbon long enough to encircle the bust is built up several inches by a width of lace joined across the shoulders by narrow straps of matching mesh over which trail tiny flowers in satins. There is an invisible joining for the fronts of the ribbon, which is fitted to the waistband by cluster plaffings in groups of three. Any girl with a taste for doing fancy work could easily make one of these bodices for herself. Frocks for Girls. Frocks for little girls show wafat lines which are empire or Greenaway, and also the long French sash line that is placed near the knees. For the tub frocks pique is used. For the afternoon frocks lawn, net or light shown in the shops. A white net frock which catches the eye because of its simplicity has a skirt made plain and gathered at the waist line. Down the front and back are aprons of net about twelve inches wide. At the bottom of each apron white braid has been cleverly used to follow out a scroll design. The same design and material are used to trim the front of the bodice. At the bottom of the dress white moire ribbon about four inches wide is stitched without any fullness. And then three inches above the ribbon hem narrower white ribbon is put on with fullness to form a riffle. A girlle of the ribbon balances that used at the bottom of the skirt. The use of the ribbon as well as the braid should not be overlooked; they are two trimmings which can be easily made use of by the home sewer to stamp a frock as being strictly up to date. Wide Choice in Handbags. Moire and satin bags with filigree or jeweled tops are seen in a number of styles. The linings of these bags are bright and pretty and include mirrors and purses. Bags in novel design are the skirt ruffle effects. The materials are moire and satin, with frames of the material finished with a jeweled top. They are made with two ruffles, similar to the ruffled effects in woman's skirts. Pin seal bags are in the drawstring styles, as well as chamois bags of color. Washable leather bags in tan and white have drawstrings and wash like the washable kid gloves. An ostrich bag has a ruff and fan to match. The bag has a satin top closed with a draw cord, and the bag itself is made of ostrich feathers with a rounded end. They come in light and dark colors and white. Pottery Is Popular Pottery has again come into vogue to a great extent, and it is most attractive for a spring luncheon, lending itself readily to many flowers or none at all. The quaint shapes and odd colorings are a decoration in themselves. At one luncheon little bowls of pottery without handles were used for soup, and even the water was served in tall beakers of the same quaint ware; silver platters were discarded in favor of square and oblong ones of pottery on which curious figures and flowers were portrayed in odd, fascinating colors.—Harper's Bazaar. Afternoon Dress Copyright Sanders and Sidney Gray broadcloth is the material used for this afternoon dress. The skirt is circular and has a yoke slightly gathered of black Georgette crepe. From the shoulders gray broadcloth is caught to form a sort of cape. This falls to the hips and is laced up the sides with black silk cords. A medium width belt completed the dress. Pretty Neckpiece. A very pretty neckpiece is fashioned of a wide, soft, faille ribbon, edged with a fringe of ostrich fronds curled a little. This is worn rather tightly about the neck and fastened with a large, flat folded shaped pump bow, outlined by the same feather fringe. This bow is worn at the back, the side, or wherever it may be most becoming. washable silks. The slip worn underneath net or organdie dresses may be of fine organdie or a light tub silk. These underslips are often a delicate color of yellow or pink. Very charming short boleros of the dress material are worn with matching skirts. These skirts are attached to a little sleeveless top, which serves also as a guimpe. What Modish Women Know. Buttons seem an odd hat trimming, yet three big pearl buttons are fastened on the twilled ribbon band that encircles the crown of a broad-brimmed black velvet hat. Sleeves on some the new evening frocks are no more than little ruffles, sometimes of tulle edged with beads, and sometimes held out with a flexible wire at the lower edge. Cretone flowers are cut out and glued on the crowns and brims of white hats. They make effective trimming, and, of course, when they fade or become tiresome, they can easily be removed with the aid of a little water.
