THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO.45. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH GRANTS AMNESTY TOVILLA'S RELATIVE Bandit's Brother-in-Law Is Pardoned and Reported to Be Terrorizing Parral Region. SEEM TO HAVE FREE HAND Gavira and Pershing Holding Conference at Casas Grandes; Latter Says He Has Ample Authority to Treat on Any Question. El Paso, Tex.—Marcus Corral, a brother-in-law of Villa, has been granted amnesty by Gen. Jacinto Trevino, commander-in-chief of the Carranza forces in the north. With about 200 ex-Villistas, Corral is operating in the region just south of Parral, where Villa is reported to be under cover. Country Terrorized by Bandit. The outfit led by Villa's brother-in-law lately raided a number of mining properties around Cerro Gordo, Rosalio and Llano Blanca and ran off with mules, ore and supplies. The whole region thereabouts is terrorized by the bandit and his well-armed followers. This information was brought here by a couple of mining men who returned from the district south of Parral. The arrivals also told of the depredations of Cruz Dominguez, another notorious bandit, whom Maj. Howze routed near Ojo Azules about two weeks ago. After the withdrawal north of the American troops, Dominguez got his men together again and announced his determination to make life miserable for all Americans in that part of the country. According to these mining men, the bandit leaders appear to have constitutionalist permission to go where they choose. The facts were reported to Gen. George Bell, Jr., with the request that, if he deemed it advisable, he transmit them to Gen. J. J. Pershing for whatever use Gen. Pershing may care to make of them in his conference with Gen. Gabriel Gavira at Casas Grandes. Gen. Bell was also informed that 3,000 Mexican troops had left Villa Ahumada, 81 miles south of Juarez, on an overland march of about 50 miles to Chocolate Pass, on the line of Gen. Pershing's line of communication. Leaves for Conference A special train bearing Gen. Gabriel Gavira, commander of the borderland zone, left Juarez for Casas Grandes. Before departing, Gen. Gavira let it be known that he would renew the efforts of the de facto government to rid Mexico of United States troops. The redoubtable Carranza commander also gave everybody to understand prior to his departure that he possessed ample authority for treating with Gen. Pershing on any questions that might arise in their conference. Just before Gavira boarded his train a messenger from Gen. Trevino at Chihuahua delivered to him a letter from Gen. Pershing acknowledging Gavira's telegram of the other day. This reply suggested to Gen. Gavira that he take the field in person, principally for the purpose of controlling his disorderly and unfriendly subordinates hovering close to the American line of communication. The letter deplored the unwillingness of Carranza troops to cooperate with the American soldiers. FRENCH LOSE GROUND GERMANS STILL DRIVING FOR VERDUN; FRENCH CLAIM CAPTURE OF TEUTON WORKS. London, England.—After an all-night battle, fought in a fog, there has been another retirement of the French on the west side of the Meuse under the tremendous pressure of the reinforced German army. Wednesday the French partially retrieved their loss of territory by capturing a strong German works with 220 prisoners and seven guns on the southwest slopes of Dead Man hill. The battle of Verdun is still centralized in the German determination to break through the Avocourt-Oumeres line and reach Esnes or Chattancourt. With these in their possession the German lines would include that range of redoubtable blood-stained hills, 287, 304 and Dead Man, and the way to Verdun would be nearer won. In Tuesday night's fog-covered fight the Germans nearly reached Chattancourt, but the adventurous detachments were discovered and annihilated by the French fire. The French loss was that of a first line trench near the Caurettes wood south of Cuimeres. The dreadful character of the fighting is to be judged by the appearance in the formal headquarters reports of such phrases as "ferocious battle," "repeated and concentric attacks" and "two days" bombardment of unparalleled violence. Quit Search for School Teacher. Sandusky, O.-Possess which were operating in the vicinity of Vermilion have abandoned their search for Al- bert L. Irey, former superintendent of the Vermilion schools. The dwelling of Mrs. Irey and the Vermilion schoolhouse, both threat- ened by Irey in a letter he admitted having written, are, however, still guard and will be so kept inden- tely, the authorities at Vermilion say. The arrest of Irey was ordered by Prosecuting Attorney James F. Flynn, Jr. THE GAZETTE Mrs. J. A. H. Hopkins of Morristown, N.

BREAKS SILENCE ON SUBJECT OF PEACE President Gives Intimation He Is Making an Effort to Stop the War. --- 'When Peace Does Come United States Will Be as Much Concerned as Others to See It Assume an Aspect of Permanence.' Washington, D. C.—President Wilson Saturday night broke his silence on peace and discussed the subject at a dinner of the League to Enforce Peace. The president gave an intimation that he is making an informal effort to bring about a termination of the war, in saying that he feels confident the world "is even now upon the eve of a great consummation," he left the impression that he believes peace is not far distant. The president spoke in part as follows: When the invitation to be here tonight came to me I was glad to accept it—not because it offered me an opportunity to discuss the program of the league—that you will. I am sure, not expect of me—but because the desire of the whole world is to be more secure, towards the peace, and there is just reason why we should take our part in counsel upon this great theme. It is right that I, as spokesman of our government, should attempt to give expression to what I believe to be the United States in this vital matter. With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst or explore. But so great a flood, spread far and wide to every quarter of the globe, has of necessity engulfed many a fair province of right that lies very near Our own rights as a nation, the liberties, the privileges and the property of the people, are not more disconnected lookers-on. And when it does come to an end we shall be as much concerned as the nations at war to see peace assume an ascent. We are not more disconnected from which the anxiety of uncertainty shall be lifted, being some assurance that peace and war shall always hereafter be the part of the common interest of mankind. One observation on the causes of the present war we are at liberty to make, and to make it may throw some light upon the situation, as well as backward upon the past. And the lesson which the shock of being taken by surprise in a matter so deeply personal may be made poignantly clear, is that the peace of a nation henceforth depend upon a new and more wholesome diplomacy. It is clear that nations must in the future be governed by the same high code of honor that we demand of individuals. We believe these fundamental principles that we want to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live. Like other nations, we have ourselves no doubt once and again offended against that principle when for a little time we have franked historians have been honorable enough to admit; but it has become more and more our rule of life and action. Second, that the small states of the world have the right and respect for their sovereignty and for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations expect and insist upon. And third, that the world has a right to be involved in the affairs of its peace that has its origin in aggression and disregard of the rights of peoples and nations. So sincerely do we believe in these things that am sure that I speak the mind and wish of the people of America when I say that the United States is willing to become a partner in any feasible association of nations formed in order to realize these objects and make them happen. There is nothing that the United States wants for itself that any other nation has. We are willing, on the contrary, to limit ourselves along with them to a certain number of others which will check any selfish passion of our own, as it will check any aggressive impulse of theirs. God grant that the dawn of that day of faith dealing and of settable conscience and co-operation may be near at hand! Detroit, Mich—Henry Ford, who organized the Ford peace expedition which sailed for Europe last winter, may return to Europe to renew his efforts to bring about peace among the warring nations. This possibility was made public by Theodore Delavigne, who is in close touch with Mr. Ford. He said Mr. Ford may sell for Stockholm about June 15. Gaston Plantiff, who was left in charge of the peace party when Mr. Ford was taken ill last winter, has been here for some time. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1916. MAIL RAIDS MUST CEASE,U.S.DEMAND Note to London and Paris Calls Practice 'Unjustifiable Interference With Neutrals.' IS INJURY TO SEA TRADE Belief Expressed That Commerce Is Diverted From America; Officials Wonder What Is to Be Done if Allies Are Stubborn. Washington, D. C. — Great Britain and France are given official notice, through a diplomatic note just made public, that the United States "can no longer tolerate the wrongs which its citizens have suffered and continue to suffer." Although President Wilson notified Germany, in the last note to Berlin, that the acceptance of the submarine ultimatum could not be made conditional upon Great Britain's abandonment of her blockade, the president showed the determination to deal with equal firmness in his negotiations with the allies. The note sent to Great Britain and France is a vigorous denunciation of the entente's policies on mail seizure. In just what manner the president would manifest his intolerance if the allies should not accede to his demand is a matter upon which administration officials confess they have no information. Officials admit they do not believe the president would go so far as to threaten a severance of diplomatic relations with Great Britain and France or adopt retaliatory measures if the interference with mails is not discontinued. The Note of the Text. The text of the communication addressed to the British and French ambassadors, to whom it was delivered, in part follows: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excellence's note of April 3 last, transmitting a memorandum dated Feb. 18, to the American ambassador in London on Feb. 28, in which are stated the contents of the British and French governments in regard to the right to delink the American ambassador between the United States and Europe. In reply the government of the United States desires to state that it does not consider the exercise of the right of intercession by the British and French governments with the overseas transportation of the governments of the United States complains. Furthermore, the allied powers appear to have overlooked the admission of the French government to the parcel may be treated as merchandise subject to the exercises of belligerent rights as recognized by international law. But the government of the United States agrees that the rights of police supervision, visitation and eventual seizure which belongs to belligerents as to all other governments are subject to the joint note under acknowledgment. It is noted with satisfaction that the British and French governments do not claim, and in the opinion of this government properly do not claim that they can guarantee sufficient grounds upon which to base a right to interfere with all classes of mall matter in transit to or from the central powers. Thus giving assurances, that they consider "genuine correspondence" to be "inviolable" and that they will, "true to their engagements", "refrain" "on the high seas from seizing and confiscating" all governments proceed to deprive neutral governments of the benefits of these assurances by seizing and confiscating mall from vessels in port instead of at sea. Ships are obtained on route to or from the United States or to and from neutral countries, and mails are held and delayed for several days and, in some cases, for weeks and even months, even though not routed to ports of northeast Asia. To protest the memorial under acknowledgement makes no reference and is entirely unresponsive. The government of the United States must again insist with emphasis that the governments do not obtain rightful jurisdiction of ships by forcing or inducing them to visit their ports for the purpose of seizing their malls or thereby obtain greater belligerent power; that they obtain greater exercise of the military of the government in the opinion of the government of the United States, no legal distinction between the seizure of malls at sea and their seizure from vessels voluntarily or involuntarily. Germany Desisted from Seizures. Germany has dealt with the practice of interfering with neutral mails, even when illustrated by the case of the French steamer Florida, captured by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich and ousted by the British and French governments in support of their argument regarding parcel mails. In this case the letter mails of the Florida, amounting to 144 sacks, were forwarded to their destination by the commander at the first priority upon arriving in the United States. The arbitrary methods employed by the British and French governments have received little attention in the United States. Important papers which can never be duplicated or can be duplicated only with great difficulty, such as United States patents for inventions, the British patent for a printer relating to the settlement of estates, powers of attorney, are insurance claims, income tax returns and similar matters have been lost. Delays in receiving shipping documents from the torpedoed steamer Sussex were performed with penknives and butcher's cleavers, the only struments that were to be found on the British destroyer which conveyed the passengers to Dover. Edward Marshall, a newspaper writer who lost a leg himself in the Spanish-American war, made the above assertion when he arrived on the White Star liner Lapland. NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE BROADENS SCOPE OF WORK Executive Secretary Jones' Report on Trip South la Encouraging. New York—Eugene Knickle Jones, executive secretary in charge of the work of the National Urban league in cities, returned to this city recently from a trip extending through a period of three weeks to cities of the south. He visited Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga., and Richmond, Va., where the league has affiliated organizations. He also spent several days in Jacksonville, Fla., and Washington, where he began movements which will eventually result in the formation of permanent organizations affiliated with the league. The Neighborhood union of Atlanta, with Mrs. John Hope as chairman, maintains a social center in which boys and girls' clubs are conducted. In connection with this work campaigns are held in the interest of better health, cleaner yards and streets, better educational facilities and more efficient handling of cases of juvenile delinquency. In Savannah, Ga., Sol C. Johnson, editor of the Savannah Tribune, acts as chairman of the local organization. In addition to the regular activities of school races are being held in May at which the attendance will probably be larger than 8,000 people. This organization is now in search of a competent, trained social worker who can take charge of the activities in that community. Likewise the organization in Augusta is in search of a worker and plans during the present summer to conduct three playgrounds for colored children. Mr. Jones addressed public gatherings at Bethel Institutional church in Jacksonville, Fl., held under the auspices of the Jacks,ville Federation of Colored Women's Tubs, Miss Eartha M. M. White chairman. The co-operation of eight organizations in the formation of a central clearing house for social work amon colored people in this city is assure1. Mr. Jones also addressed a representative conference called by Dean Kelly Miller at the Carnegie library of Howard university, in Washington, Dr. J. H. N. Waring was selected chairman of the committee on organization. Plans for the development of the work of the league in Detroit, Mich., have been complete. Mr. Forrester B. Washington, 1915. 6 "fellow" of the league, who is completing his training at the New York School of Philanthropy and Columbia university in June, will take up his duties on June 5 as secretary of the Detroit work. The principal activities in connection with this movement are the improvement of housing conditions through reduction of rents and securing of more adequate housing facilities for colored people and the enlargement of industrial opportunities both through the securing of better training for colored workmen and opening new lines of employment for them. All of the organizations in connection with the league throughout the country held health week meetings in May. UTICA INSTITUTE CLOSES. Bishop Bratton Delivers Address at Mississippi School. Utica, Miss.-The Right Rev. Theodore DuBose Bratton, bishop of Mississippi, a leader of educational and religious thought in the south, made a significant address to a large audience of white and colored people at the recent commencement exercises of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute For the Training of Colored Youth, located in this town of thrift and industry. It is significant that the voice and pen of Bishop Bratton, representing the white race, and that of William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica institute, representing the colored race, were raised and employed by them to defeat the Stevens bill, introduced in the present session of the Mississippi legislature, which sought to prohibit white people from teaching in schools for colored people. "No people will come to a knowledge of themselves until they express themselves in something they have made," said Bishop Bratton. "Until you begin to interpret yourselves by what you accomplish you will never know yourselves. Until you measure your ability by your power to create, to accomplish, you can never know what your abilities are. "I have often told to my friends of the colored race, and also to my white friends, that we must realize that neither the Negro race knows itself nor does the white race know the Negro. There has been no opportunity for that until the last two generations, I would almost limit it to one generation. I haven't much respect for a man who demands recognition until he has done something by which to be recognized." Other short talks were made by Emmett J. Scott, secretary, and Major J. B. Ramsey, commandant of Tuskegee institute, and by F. H. Coleman, superintendent of public instruction of Hinds county. Practical demonstrations of practical subjects on the part of the members of the graduating class featured their activities. Baptists to Meet at Kansas City, Mo. The National Baptist convention, of which the Rev. Dr. E. J. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss., is president, will hold its annual meeting at Kansas City, Mo., for six days, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 6. The executive committee meets in Vicksburg, Miss., June 14 to arrange the program for the Kansas City meeting. LYMAN ABBOTT ON MASTERY OF SELF Noted American Instructs Students at Hampton Institute. AROUSES GREAT INTEREST. Man Who Succeeded Henry Ward Beecher at Plymouth Church Explains Difference Between Self Denial and Self Control—The Latter is a Duty and Life Fundamental. Hampton, Va.—The address delivered by the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott on a Sunday evening recently at the Hampton (Va.) institute aroused much interest among the students and has also been the occasion of much favorable comment among the people of this town who were also fortunate enough to hear the noted preacher, lecturer and author speak. The Rev. Dr. Abbott in part said: "I want to re-emphasize the lesson which we received from our preacher this morning. He made very clear the difference we forget sometimes or do not recognize at all—the difference between self denial and self control. Self denial is sometimes a duty. It is never an end, but always a means to an end. Self control is always a duty. It is always an end of life, a fundamental without which there can be no success of any kind in life. You illustrated that truth very clearly in your athletic games. I watched those athletic exercises and those dances in the gymnasium on Saturday night. Your self control was wonderful. You had absolute mastery of your bodies and limbs. I really did not see any indication of self denial. You seemed to be having as good a time as you were giving us. "It was self control without self denial. Self denial is sometimes a necessity and is essential to self control. You could not have exercised the self control which you did if you had not gone to the gymnasium sometimes when you wanted to stay away. It was the preparation for self control. I heard a story the other day which seems to illustrate this sermon. "It was this: A little girl had gone to church on Sunday morning, and her father had stayed at home. When she came home her father said, 'Well, what did the minister preach about this morning?' She said, 'I cannot tell you what he said, but his text was, "Keep your soul on top." I like the little girl's version better than the words of the text—I keep my soul on top.' That is essential to life if you would have mastery of yourself. "The Greeks imagined there was such a being as a centaur. The body to the fore legs was a horse, and then attached to the breast of the horse were the body and head of a man. It was a man down to the front legs, and the body was a horse—man and horse joined together. Of course there never was a man and horse joined together. But every one of you, saint and sinner, is part man and part animal. Which shall have control? Small it be the man and the animal or the animal and the man? This is the great question of life. "Have you ever been horseback riding? Do you know it makes a great deal of difference whether the horse goes where you want him to, whether the rider controls the animal or the animal controls the rider? Are you going to be controlled or to control? Which part of this composite creature are you going to be? Are you going to be from the breast up or horse from the breast down? That is the problem of self control. Shall I master myself or not? It is primary, perhaps—the mastery of the body. But it is not only that. It is mastery of the whole man. "They talk about temperance and its varied meanings. If a man has never drunk a drop of liquor they say he is a temperate man. That is only one phase of temperance. He may be temperate in that one thing only. To be temperate a man must be under self control, not only his appetite, but his body, his tongue and his fists—his tongue, with which he may strike a deadlier blow than any other way. We hear of the wrong of using force. It is not the instrument, but the spirit with which we use it. You girls may do more harm with uncontrolled tongues than the boys can do with uncontrolled fists. Self control is one of the fundamental virtues of life. "There is a disease known as locomotor ataxia. In that disease a man loses control of the nerves and muscles. He cannot control his body. He sees a friend, and he wants to reach out and shake hands with him. His hand goes in that direction. He wants to look at something, and his head goes that way. He wants to walk here, and he goes there. It is a most pitiful disease. "Sometimes I have talked to a congregation—not this one. I am bound to say—and I have seen men looking around, not paying attention to the sermon. I have wondered if the faint was mine. Mr. Beecher was asked what was the remedy for a sleepy congregation, and be said, 'Wake up the minister.' But I wonder if those supposed hearers have not got locomotor ataxia of the mud? They cannot put their mind on what they are trying to do. A man starts to read. His mind is not somewhere else." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. HIGH HONOR FOR MOSS. Brooklyn Boy Wins Gold Medal at Columbia. Maurice Moss of Brooklyn, son of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist church, won the gold medal in the recent freshman endurance athletic contest at Columbia university. One lured and thirty students entered the contest. Young Moss finished first, which entitled him to the highest award. A white boy won the second prize, and young John Johnson, son of the Rev. Mr. Johnson of the St. Cyprian church, New York, won the third prize. There were only three colored boys in the contest, and two of them captured prizes, while only one white boy out of 127 was successful. Maurice Moss is one of the brightest graduates of the 1916 class at Manual Training High school in Brooklyn. During his student days at high school he won four of the highest prizes and also won a scholarship. He entered the freshman class at Columbia in February. While in high school he contributed an article to the high school journal which attracted wide attention. He is pursuing a classical course at Columbia and bids fair to make a very brilliant record. Maurice Moss is not only clever in his literary work, but is foremost in athletics, having a long string of victories to his credit. He is a rising young intellectual giant, and if he sticks to his studies his name will some day be linked with those of America's greatest men in whatever line he chooses as a profession, trade or business. He is active in Sunday school affairs, being one of the chief librarians in the Concord Baptist Sunday school, where he also assists in teaching when the teacher of a class is absent. Mr. Moss received many congratulations and much encouragement on his recent triumph. INFLUENCE OF HAMPTON. Noted Southern School Celebrates Forty-seventh Year of National Service. Hampton, Va.—The national aspect of Robert Curtis Ogden's work was strongly emphasized during the recent forty-eighth anniversary celebration of the Hampton (va.) institute. Dr. Hollis B. Friessell presented to the board of trustees sixty-nine candidates for certificates and ninety candidates for diplomas in the presence of 2,000 white and colored people, including several hundred men and women who are leaders in educational, social and business enterprises throughout the nation. "The legacy of Hampton," said Rev. W. Russell Bowie, rector of St. Paul's church, Richmond, Va., in his address to the graduating class, "is the new vision, hope, faith and power which Hampton gives all those who come in touch with her." Mrs. Henry Villard of New York, daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, said it was balm to the soul to come to Hampton, where all is peace and harmony. She paid tribute to Mr. Ogden for his rare, beautiful spirit and for his service to Hampton and the cause of southern education. Rev. Charles E. Park of Boston said he was impressed at Hampton with the quality of character which is developed in the students through discipline. Job E. Hedges of New York gave the students some excellent advice: "Be plain, ordinary, every day, on the level, not waiting for applause. The test of virtue is sacrifice. The test of loyalty is endeavor." Hon. Henry C. Stuart, governor of Virginia, presided at the exercises which were held in connection with the laying of the cornerstone of the Robert C. Ogden auditorium—a $150,000 building which will accommodate 2,500 people—a national tribute to America's "unofficial statesman." Already $55,000 has been raised through popular subscription by a national committee of which ex-President Taft is the chairman. Tributes to the constructive genius and personality of Robert Curtis Ogden were paid by Governor Stuart, Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute since 1893; Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia; Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute; P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, Washington, and George Foster Peabody of New York, senior Hampton institute trustee. The cornerstone was laid by Governor Stuart in the presence of several thousand white and colored people. A number of Mr. Ogden's relations were present at the ceremony. Mr. Ogden, known as the "unofficial statesman" to leaders in education and national progress, attracted able coworkers. Their tributes at Hampton were sincere and striking. "He grouped men together who with his help were able to fulfill their discovered possibilities," said Governor Henry C. Stuart. Masonic Order Plans Big Celebration. The Masonic order of western Pennsylvania is arranging to hold an elaborate celebration in honor of St. John's day at Bethel A. M. E. church in Pittsburgh on Sunday, June 18. There will be a street parade previous to the historical sermon, which will be delivered by the Rev. H. G. Hoee of Elizabeth lodge No. 88. IN MILITIA DEI GENTIA A. J. GRIFFIN'S UPWARD CLIMB How a North Carolina Boy Won His Spurs. PAID FOR OWN EDUCATION. Early Struggles and Subsequent Success of the Principal of the High Point (N. C.) Normal and Industrial School—Growth of Institution Founded by a New York Society. High Point, N. C.—North Carolina, like the other southern states, is contributing its part to the racial development. It has produced some strong, intellectual both, in the professions and trades, and especially in the educational field. In the schoolroom is to be found Professor Alfred J. Griffin, principal of the High Point Normal and Industrial school, which is one of the best in the state. It is doing a fine work for the development and training of the young people. This institution was started in 1890 by the New York yearly meeting of Friends. At its head was the Rev. Frank H. Clark of Massachusetts, who was one of the men who desired to help the race by contributing their ALFRED J. GRIFIN. services to the training of the boys and girls. He remained with the institution about four years and resigned to return to his home, having placed the institution on a good footing. At this point the board of trustees saw fit to call into service a member of our race in the person of Professor A. J. Griffin. He took charge of the work in July, 1897, and when it was announced in the fall that school was ready more applied than could be accommodated. Professor Griffin was born in Edgeworth county, N. C., and spent his early life, like most of the young men and boys, on the farm. It was soon after the close of the war. As soon as he was old enough he was placed in the country school by his parents, and it was soon discovered that he was a bright boy, capable of rapid advancement. After three years in the country school his parents sent him to the Tarboro high school. This was just twelve miles from his home, and he put his feet in the road and walked it. He would spend the week in Tarboro, but just as soon as school closed on Fridays he would start back home and remain until Sunday afternoon, and then he would walk back to school, bringing his food for the week with him. As soon as he was far enough advanced to teach a country school he taught in the summer, earning a little money, and by this means was able to enter St. Augustine's College Institute, Raleigh, N. C. He remained in this school for five years, graduating in 1892 at the head of his class. It should be inspiring to the young people to know that Professor Griffin had a widowed mother, whose means were limited; hence he had to work his way through school. During his entire school life in St. Augustine he had few clothes, and he was kept busy patching them to make them last. When the time for his graduation came the other members of his class had new suits, and this young man had to have something new also, so he went to a nearby rag shop, bought a suit of clothes for $1.50 and paid a tailor $1.50 to trim them down to his size. A pair of secondhand shoes from a secondhand store, and then from the same rag store he purchased some underclothes. The clothes were all new to him, even if they had been used before. Bigged in clothing that had been used before, this young man stood up, the valedictorian of his class. So well did he do his work that the board at St. Augustine offered him a position at $25 a month, which he accepted and held for five years, when he was called to the High Point Normal and Industrial institute. The equipment consisted of five acres of land, one frame building and the principal's cottage. The cottage is the only building left of the older buildings. Taking hold of the work with a determination to win, Professor Griffin nineteen years ago went about to make improvements. He purchased ninety-two acres of land, erected two large brick buildings, one laundry, a workshop, one industrial building and carpenter shop. The literary course stands second to none.

SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1916. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. Successive Republican primaries furnish conclusive evidence that there is no overwhelming spirit of stampee at work among the rank and file of the party, who are going on carefully to select good men to represent them at Chicago with the confident expectation that wise counsels will prevail in the national convention and that the nominee will be a man upon whom all the anti-Democratic voters can unite. The "jim-crow" Negro in Cincinnati has joined hands with prejudiced whites of that city and is promoting separate schools for our children there, just as a few of his kind are trying to promote a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. here in Cleveland. Good lord, have mercy! The "jim-crow" Negro is the bane of the race; far more harmful than the enemy from without. The promoters of Theodore E. Burton's candidacy, for the Republican presidential nomination, are sending out letters (to our papers and others) written in his behalf by W. Bruce Evans of Washington, D. C., John Green and Tom Fleming of this city. That ought to be enough to satisfy any loyal Afro-American who is at all well acquainted with any one of the three Afro-Americans named. Colonel Roosevelt says that if the next political campaign is waged on the tariff issue such an appeal would be an appeal to the belly and not to the soul of this nation. But a man with an empty belly is mightly likely to smash one of the ten commandments and thereby imperil his soul. The Lord employed the miracle of the loaves and fishes to feed the multitude. After they had been fed he gave them spiritual advice. Four days after his inauguration as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial Institute the south forces Major Moton to "show his hand" and there is not even a "deuce" in it for the race. One thing sure and that is, from a racial standpoint, he is certainly no improvement upon Booker T. Washington. We still believe that it was a most unfortunate mistake not to have elected Secretary Emmett J. Scott, principal of that school. In all of Theodore E. Burton's 20 years or more in Congress not one word, bill or resolution of any kind in the direct interest of our people could he be induced to say, or introduce. When he was appealed to, by our leading residents of Washington, D. C., during the closing days of his last term in the U. S. Senate, he flatly refused to comply with their request to introduce a resolution of vital interest to the race. We would as soon vote for Roosevelt or Borah as Burton and we have known the latter well, personally, ever since he came to Cleveland from Oberlin to reside, many years ago. HE IS NO FRIEND OF OUR RACE. Our delegates must NOT vote for him! The three Catholic sisters who were arrested in St. Augustine, on the charge of violating a law of Florida which forbids white teachers from teaching in Colored schools and vice versa, have been ordered released by the Circuit court. The judge rendered a decision in which he held that the law does not apply to any school except the public schools created and maintained by the state. This decision does NOT kill the law, as announced by the editor of the N. Y. Age. It is a pity that it does not do so. However, it nullifies the law as far as the private schools of that state are concerned and that is something to feel good over because of the precedent it establishes, if for no other reason. If memory serves us correctly, Florida is the only state in the Union that has such a fool law. When our government refused to recognize Huerta and went still farther and intervened in Mexican elections by declaring he should not be a candidate for the Mexican presidency, or be voted for by his own countrymen, it assumed a responsibility for Mexico and the Mexicans that was surprising to the world, and its results will be many and long continued. If the administration had but been as willing in 1912, 1914, 1915 and 1916 to acknowledge its national duties to Americans in Mexico as it was eager to assume the championship of the bandits, insurrectionists and revolutionists that it classed as Mexican patriots and political, social and religious reformers, it would have done far greater service to the people of both countries and to humanity at large.

STEPHENS BILL PROTECTS PUBLIC Almed at Dishonest Advertising and False Pretenses. By W. BOB HOLLAND. "A bill to protect the public against dishonest advertising and false pretenses in advertising." This is the comprehensive title of a measure introduced in the present congress by Representative Dan V. Stephens of Nebraska. A similar bill has been introduced in the senate by Senator Ashurst of Arizona. No one can find fault with legislation that will achieve the objects stated in the titles of the Stephens-Ashurst bill. The public certainly needs protection "against dishonest advertising and false pretenses in merchandising." The bill now under consideration is the successor of the Stevens bill, a measure introduced in the last congress by Representative Stevens of New Hampshire. It was widely discussed and died in committee after several public hearings, at which its merits and demurts were considered. The Stephens bill embody the changes in the law enacted in 1981 in hearings and discussions, and it is believed that in its present form it safeguards the producer, the merchant and the consumer. For many years the right of a producer to contract with merchants for the resale of his products at standard, uniform price was generally recognized and its legality was not questioned. Then the supreme court of the United States held that such a contract was "in resraint of trade" and "against public policy." The court divided on the question, 5 to 4, and the majority found no specific law forbidding the practice that had long been common, but held that congress had intended the Sherman law to prohibit such business methods. Agency System Is Legal. This court made law upset long established custom, but it does not prevent the end sought from being reached by other means. Producers who wish to have no discrimination shown to favored individuals can insure uniform prices for their goods by establishing branch establishments or by appointing agents. This is the method followed by manufacturers of automobiles. Bakers who sell their products within a restricted area can also regulate their prices by making grocers their agents and thereby retaining title to their bread and rolls until they reach the consumer. Producers of other articles, goods sold in small quantities and which must depend on established merchants for their distribution, are denied the right that men in other lines have. The Stephens-Ashurst bill is designed to restore to these producers a protection they had before it was taken away from them by the supreme court. Cut rate department stores, so called "chain" drug and grocery stores in the large cities, and mall order houses use cut prices on standard, well known articles to draw trade away from small stores and small towns. The loss they may suffer on these standard articles is more than made up by the high profits on anonymous goods or goods put up under their own brands. In this way the producer is injured because the reputation of his product is ruined; the retail merchant is damaged because he cannot afford to advertise widely a special bargain "bait" to attract customers to whom other goods may be sold at a profit; the consumer is damaged because producers are not encouraged to maintain quality and because inferior articles are substituted. Ample Protection Afforded. Improved Protection Affirmed. The Stephens-Ashurst bill is not compulsory. To take advantage of its provisions the producer must register his trademark or special brand with the bureau of corporations in Wash. He must not have a monopoly of articles belonging to the same general class of merchandise, and he must not agree with any competitor to control prices. The producer must also file a schedule giving the prices at which his listed article is sold to wholesalers, to retailers and to the consumer. This schedule of prices becomes a public document. The prices scheduled must be uniform to buyers under similar circumstances. This permits reduction in prices for quantity purchases and allowances to equalize freight rates. A merchant who decides to quit business, who wishes to discontinue any line of listed goods or who becomes bankrupt must first offer such listed articles to the manufacturers for redemption at the full price paid. Should the manufacturers neglect or refuse to redeem the goods then the dealer can sell them at any price he desires or can get. Damaged goods must also be offered for exchange or redemption, and if later offered for sale at reduced prices the reason for the reduction must be made known to purchasers. There is also a clause permitting seasonable sales. Jones, Williams made a bitter attack on him and charged among other things maladministration and misappropriation of missionary funds. The report of the Episcopal committee recommended making Nova Scotia a beneficiary of the missionary department. The bishops were assigned for the next four years as follows: First district, Bishop Evans Tyree; second, Bishop J. Albert Johnson; third, Bishop Cornellus T. Shaffer; fourth, Bishop Levi J. Coppin; fifth, Bishop Joseph S. Flipper; seventh, Bishop W. D. Chappelle; eighth, Bishop William H. Heard; ninth, Bishop B. F. Lee; tenth, Bishop C. S. Smith; eleventh, Bishop John Hurst; twelfth, Bishop J. M. Conner, and fifteenth, Joshua H. Jones. The two newly-elected bishops were assigned to the work in South and West Africa. West Africa is known as the thirteenth Episcopal district, where Bishop Isaac N. Ross will preside over the fourteenth district in South Africa. All of the general officers were reeled. THE NEW YORK TIMES DOINGS OF THE RACE Major Robert R. Moton took charge of tuskegee (Ala.) N. & I. Institute, as principal, on May 25. Texas' only Afro-American delegate to the Republican National Convention is "Goose-neck Bill" McDonald. J. A. Moore and J. M. Clark, both white, of Albany, Ga., arrested for stealing chickens from the Afro-American farmers in that vicinity. Ladies should not overlook The Gazette's up-to-date illustrated fashion letters and notes on page 4 each week. Call your friends' attention to them, pion. Hon. Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, president of the state board of education, gave $100 to apply on band instruments for the boys of the Bordentown (N. J.) Industrial school. Maurice Moss of Brooklyn, won the gold medal in the recent freshman endurance athletic contest at Columbia university. One hundred and thirty students entered the contest. Among the gifts to the Booker T. Warner, the first African-American manned last week at the installation of Major Moton, was one of $25,000 from Cyrus Mccormick, of Chicago. It was a Tennessee M. E. preacher and not Bishop I. B. Scott who had the disagreeable hotel experience at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth made the move. Dr. James E. Sheepard, president of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., announces that as a result of the benevolence of two New York ladies his institution is free of debt. Recovering his wife in a room with Herbert Mitchell (white), Lee Pritchett of Paducah, Ky., had a bench warrant sworn out for him, a son of a leading groceryman, but the police officers refused to serve it. Dave Cline (white), of Coffeyville, Kan., is charged by a coroner's jury with the murder of Mary Glass, age 14, whose body was found recently in the parking lot of the city. It is wealthy and the girl was employed in his home. Ball bond. $10,000. The circuit court at Huntington, W. Va., has given a verdict of $1,000 damages against "Rev," C. E. McGhee, former superintendent of the Colored Orphans' Home there. He was sued by Lirteen L. Tiddy, Inmate. He demanded $1,000 charged with criminally assaulting her at various times during her stay there. Barred from membership in the National Federation of Women's Clubs because one of its clubs is composed of Colored women, the Detroit Federation of Women's clubs, through its officers, have announced that it will not accept membership in the national federation without the Colored Colored folks, the outlook for us is gloomy in one sense and bright for us in another. The wave of race prejudice now sweeping over the United States is primarily on account of our progress on the one hand and the devilty of our own lawless classes on the other. The hoodlum elements of our society "fires" so to speak, and the envious elements among the lower classes, who we are outstripping (and the "jim-crow" Negroes and bad ones), are doing all they can to assist them—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Rev. Francis J. Grimke, our pressyterian pastor, Washington, D.C. recently returned to a questioner (white) desiring to know if he "insisted sociology" on the people in intermarriage of the races, the following pertinent and all-satisfying reply: "Have you ever seen any statement of mine in any shape or form intimating in any way that such a thought was ever remotely in my mind? You seem entirely unconscious of the fact that Colored people have some self-respect; you seem to be possessed with the idea that they are extremely anxious to be affiliated socially with white people. The Colored people have no desire to force themselves socially upon anybody. Social intercourse is a matter to be determined entirely by the individual choice. Each one is left free to choose his own associates. This is in accordance with reason and common sense. All white people are not on terms of social equality (with other races) forOLOR people well known and it is a mere subterfuge, a mere dodging of the question touching the treatment of Colored people, toug that matter in here."

M. Terrell said in part: "The fact that the city of Houston makes appropriations for the maintenance of a colored night school certainly has a significance which portends good for the future relationship of the race in this city. It further goes to show that the tendency of the governing element is toward a greater and greater care and interest in all of its citizens. Houston has learned the lesson that its permanence and growth, like that of any city, rest in the highest intelligence and development of all its people. And it is gratifying to note that its public officials as well as its press are showing such broad spirit in their attitude with respect to its colored constituency. "It makes my heart glad to witness this response which my people are giving to the opportunities afforded them in the night school. As the Post editorial so magnanimously said recently, the white people of Houston can no more get along and do not want to get along without the Negro than the Negro without the white people. "While this is true, I want to warn you that we are less able to get along without them than they without us. And it is to our interest to make ourselves more and more indispensable by increasing our usefulness. Nothing is necessary but what is of use and value to the development and progress of world civilization. And the consciousness of this fact should serve to inspire us to greater usefulness both to ourselves and to the public generally. This graduating class should be an inspiration to the whole Negro population not only in Houston but Texas. These men and women realized the possible increase of their value to themselves and to the city by a systematic training of their minds and hands and they have had the ambition and will to apply themselves in order to secure it. "As a constituent of society, in an economic way, each individual owes it to that society to become just as great an asset as is within his capacity to be. And the man or woman who is unselfish enough to study his relations and duties to the society in which he lives, and seeks to adjust himself therewith in such a way as will promote the highest good of all, is the most useful and is bound to secure the good will and praise of that society. This statement has a subtle meaning and it is for you to work out that meaning. I might enlarge upon it somewhat by saying that the individual who would be satisfied with a thing, whatever it was, upon the sole condition that it suited him, without regard to how it affected the rest of humanity, is an unfit and undesirable citizen. This applies alike to all men of all stations, everywhere. "I am glad that we have among us, as represented by the 23 persons who have come up through the courses of the night school to the point where they are permitted to sit before us to graduate, who have been broad enough in their vision to see that their duty is not to themselves alone; and that, although they have met with obstacles and had difficulties to surmount, they have been willing to make the sacrifice in order to make of themselves more useful citizens. And Bishop Isaiah Benjamin Scott, the only Negro missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, notified the subcommittee on Effectiveness of Bishops of his intention to retire at the present session of the general conference. The news caused a stir when it became known. Bishop Scott, it was learned, had been in conference with the subcommittee for several days. Negro delegates to the conference upon hearing of Bishop Scott's intention held a caucus and decided to propose two candidates, also Negroes, as Bishop Scott's successor. They were Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Atlanta, a professor at the Gammon Theological seminary, and Rev. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. The Negro delegates desired Bishop Scott's successor to be a bishop with full powers. The reason given by Bishop Scott for his request for retirement was that the one of his daughters will not permit her to live in Africa, where he has been stationed, and that the enforced separation from his wife and family, who live in Nashville, Tenn., makes it undesirable Extinction of the Petrovitch dynasty in Montenegro, no matter what the ultimate fate of that state may be, is predicted by political writers, who assert the Montenegrois are indignant over the surrender of King Nicholas to Austrin. Annexation to Serbia, foreseen by many if the allies win, would be a reunion of two peoples very closely related in race. An electrically driven machine has been invented for splitting kindling wood. Official figures show that fogs are more frequent on the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire than on any other parts of the coasts of the United States. The British meteorological office has established a station for furnishing weather information and forecasts to aviators and aeronauts. larness to permit a letter carrier to distribute the weight of a load he is carrying upon both shoulders evenly has been invented. I wish to suggest that every employer prefers intelligent help. Intelligence grounded upon an honest integrity is a useful and valuable commodity wherever found, and will be recognized and rewarded. It pays to be intelligent; it pays to be honest. Intelligence of the right sort begs honesty because it helps one to see the folly of dishonesty and its inevitable consequences; and at the same time points out the advantages of a sound integrity. "Skilled labor is a thing being sought after in all work. People are realizing that efficiency means economy. And the laborer who increases his efficiency by increasing his skill through systematic study and training of his mind and hands is bound to secure employment over his less qualified brother." One thing that was sharply brought home to Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, famous Negro teacher, and principal of the Daytona school, was the lack of proper attention for the sick. "There were hospitals for whites, but none for Negroes," said Mrs. Bethune to an interviewer; "there were nurses for the white people but the Negroes could not afford them. The white physicians were kind, but felt that they could not intrude upon the feelings of white patients by taking care of our sick. The thing to do was to establish our own hospitals, train our own nurses and educate our own doctors. I knew that this meant money and the nickels and dimes that I could get from my own people would not be enough. The only thing for me to do was to beg of those whom God had prospered, that the less fortunate might be given a chance to live and grow better. I went to Thomas H. White and out of a generous heart he gave. Andrew Carnegie responded to a request for $1,000. Altogether we raised $5,000, and with this we built the only hospital for colored people in the district. White physicians co-operate with the Negro. Our nurses do district work and carry the laws of health and sanitation into the homes of our people. The hospital has come as a great oasis in a desert, toward which the people in their sickness and despair reach for health and tenderness." The old-time cornerstone laying is about to take its place among the relics and back-number customs, for in so many of the buildings of the more modern type the cornerstone has lost its significance. Its place is being taken by the driving of the silver river, as was done recently in the 26-story building being erected at Fort-second street and Madison avenue, in New York city. The rivet was driven with the ceremony that usually goes with the placing of the cornerstone, and on the completion of the structure it will be exposed in a silver box in the wall of the lobby. Nettles good human food? Of course. They have been known as such immemorially in thrifty Switzerland and other careful countries. There is no better rival to spinach in the whole vegetable kingdom. And the nettle ought to be utilized, it does so abound. It is the one weed, all most the only one, that grows in all countries under the sun, so say gardeners who fight it year by year and have never taken the right revenge of eating it. for him to retain his present office. Bishop Scott is sixty-two years old, and in normal circumstances would not be retired until the general conference nearest his seventy-third birthday. He was elected bishop for Africa in May, 1904, and his episcopal residence has been in Monrovia, Liberia. It is understood that he will be retired on a pension of $1,500 a year. American readers of British newspapers find some quick things in the advertising columns. "Wanted, strong, tidy general, well recommended," for instance, does not indicate a paucity of leaders in the British army. "General" as thus used is merely an abbreviated expression for "general servant" or "house worker." Forty-eight materials are used in the construction of a piano, which come from no fewer than 16 countries. Screens which effectually keep fog from entering buildings by way of electric ventilating fans have been perfected in England. A boat supported by inflatable pontoons and driven by bicycle gearing has been invented that can be folded into a small parcel for carrying, as it weighs but 28 pounds. If you count the number of times the letter "a" is used in a book, you will find the average to be less than one in a thousand. Seventy per cent of the American people use electricity in some form every day. The invention of a machine to grind sea sand, ordinarily too smooth to be of use, has enabled great quantities of it to be utilized in brick manufacture in Virginia. Iowa is the first state to establish a library of motion picture films of current events for the use of future historians. In a southern Kansas county several old steel bridges have been given new life by surrounding their metal work with concrete. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1916. ALL USING TAFFETA All the leading dressmakers are using quantities of plain and shot taffeta. This silk is now produced in specially soft qualities and in the loveliest colors it is possible to imagine. Raven's-wing-blue taffeta is in great demand for afternoon gowns and this silk is successfully combined with a thin make of cloth, or with crepe de chine, writes the Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. For visiting dresses taffeta is combined with fine serge, with waistcoats of beautiful bead and silk embroidery cleverly introduced. For mourning dresses—of which we have now such a need in France—black taffeta is combined with black crepe de chine or black silk gauze. The bridge teas at the Ritz are exceedingly fashionable. These teas are given for the benefit of a very important ambulance fund, and they have proved an unqualified success. Recently I noticed a number of well-known society women at the crowded tables, and some really beautiful dresses were worn. A very pretty girl wore a rather remarkable frock which was composed entirely of dark blue taffeta dotted all over with bright red spots. The full skirt was trimmed with a number of narrow flouncees, arranged in Vandykes, and the corsage was tight and high-waisted. There was a demure little collar—almost Quaker in outline—made of white organdie muslin and very long suede gloves met the skimpy sleeves which failed to reach the elbows. With this dress a picturesque hat made of dark blue satin straw was worn. The wide brim of this hat dropped slightly at the sides and the high crown was circled by a thick wreath of shaded roses and blackberry brambles. Doucet is just now making a great many dinner gowns of black and dark THE FASHION WEEKLY Dance Frock for a Young Girl of Shell Pink Silk Gauze With Roses Made of Black Velvet Ribbon and Silver Leaves. prune panne. He is introducing very lovely embroideries, in which silver threads, tiny porcelain beads and pastel-tinted silks play leading roles. These gowns are intended for matrons and almost all of them have pointed trains which fall in a sort of fashail over a full petticoat. This is a revival of an old-world fashion and it is distinctly effective when worn by the right woman, but these fistail trains demand dignity from their wearers. They must not be swished about, here and there, without some reason. GOOD USE FOR DRAIN PIPE With Proper Decoration It Can Be Made Into Useful and Ornamental Umbrella Stand. Drain pipes make most excellent stands for sticks, umbrellas, golf clubs, plants, brooms, etc., it is impossible to knock them over, and if treated to a little simple decoration, they become ornamental as well as useful. These pipes can usually be had from builders, or at any place where building is going on several are sure to be left over, and they can be bought very cheaply. The pipe will need covering all over with some enamel, paint or paper. Some very good effects can be got by covering the pipe over with left-over paper; thick paper would be suitable for the purpose, such as embossed paper that is used for halls or for cellings. If the pipe is only to stand in a pantry as a receptacle for brooms, it could be covered with almost any kind of left-over wall paper. TO WEAR AROUND THE NECK Collarette of Malines, In Any Desired Color, Adds a Neat Touch to the Coat Suit. If you want to add a trig touch to your coat suit, make yourself a collarette of blue malines. As a guide use one of the linen collars made with a cape and upstanding stock. Plait the malines, or have it plaited if you prefer not to do the work. This will give the collarette more body. About three and a half inches down from the top of the neckpiece sew a fold of ribbon to match the maline. Over the ribbon scatter pink French knots. Let ends of the ribbon hang down the front. Where the ribbon is tied in front place a cluster of blue and pink flowers and have, a few of the postes dangle from the extreme ends of the streamers. Although blue has been suggested, the collarette will be just as effective if made of old rose, brown, green or any color that is becoming ard in keeping with the color of your suit. As a rule, the best plan is to enamel the pipe; give one coat, let that dry, then give another, or paint it with a paint that varnishes at the same time. Such paint can be had in all artistic shades of color; the tone, of course, will depend upon the surrounding decorations. Leave it to dry for several days; it can then be decorated a little further. For this purpose it is a good plan to stencil a simple pattern round the top and bottom of it with another col- ```markdown ``` Firm Umbrella Stand. or; this can be done with ordinary oil paint or gold or silver paint. It is a matter of only a few minutes to paint the stencil on the pipe, and the effect is very good. For those who paint, a few flowers arranged gracefully round the pipe look very pretty, or a little scene. When the pipes are used as plant stands, they should be painted or enameled the same shade as the plant pot; this gives a complete look to the stand. The stencil or other decoration on the pipe may be another color, but all should harmonize together. FOOT-REST ALWAYS HANDY Two or Three of Them in the Living Rooms Are Now Considered Almost Indispensable. The foot-rest shown in the accompanying sketch can be made by the amateur without fear of failure, at a cost, at the most, of less than a dollar, should all the materials for it have to be purchased, which is scarcely likely to be the case. To make it: in the first place procure a strong packing case, with a lid well hinged on, measuring about 18 eighteen inches each way and the same measurement in height. Line the inside of the box with brown paper, as it will prove useful for storing all kinds of odds and ends, and underneath the box, at each corner, screw on casters. Cover the sides with some pretty cretonne; this can be done by turning the material over at the edges and underneath, and fastening it on with tacks. The edges of the lid are next finished off with ornamental braid and brass-headed nails driven in close together. A cushion is fastened upon the top of the box; a cheap cushion covered with cretonne and of the size required can be purchased for a small sum, and may be secured in place with tiny Useful Foot-Rest. black tacks run through at each corner, and at the sides and into the lid of the box. To facilitate moving it about, brass handles can be screwed on at the sides of the box it desired. Garden Smocks. Many of the stores are showing gardening smocks made of burlap or coarse linen, cut something on the lines of a very loose middy blouse, that can slip over the head and lace at the neck with either cord or leather. They are exceedingly practical, and made, as they are, of soft, harmonious colors, they are both artistic and becoming. Flounced skirts are finished around the edges with narrow knife-plaited ruffles. Use for Bandanna Handkerchiefs. Bandanna handkerchiefs of bright colored silk are used by women with their sport suits. Black and red patterns or orange and Scotch plaids are thus used. White linen lawn handkerchiefs in men's size with Dresden flower borders are also noted, as well as all-over flowered patterns on white grounds. These handkerchiefs are worn knotted around the neck, or are slipped into the voluminous pockets of the motor coats and golf skirts, with a long end extending from the pocket. -Dry Goods Economist. More Lingerie. It seems as if something new in the lingerie line crops up overnight. The latest thing—the term is used with due regard for coming events—is a touch of Chinese embroidery in dainty pale-blue or white chiffon. Bob Bob Silks for the Girls Rah-Rah Silks for the Girls Rajah silk and khaki-kool are being sold now in college stripes so it is probable that commencement week at the big colleges will flare and blaze with appropriate colors. SIMPLEANDPRETTY Design for Waist That Will Be Found Easy to Make. If Elaboration Is Desired, All-Over Embroidery for the Cape Collar and Cuffs May Be Utilized—Suitable Fabrics to Be Used. A woman of the writer's acquaintance says that for a certain period, at this season of the year, it is her daily habit to cut out and make a shirt waist before breakfast. This she continues to do until she has about two dozen waists of the simpler sort. On the finer waists she appliques designs of embroidery, or lets in a bit of lace to enrich the upper part of the garment. Some women may not believe that a waist can be made before breakfast, but let the doubter study the accompanying design and she will probably realize how quickly it may be cut out and stitched up. The first waist will require a fitting, of course, but the others will not—and the fitting necessary for this design is practically confined to the arrangement of the collar over the back. As will be noted, it does not fit in front. To make an elaborate waist quickly, one can use all-over embroidery for the cape collar and for the cuffs. For trimming on the edge a frill of narrow embroidery may be used, or one of plain material with a scalloped edge. When the waist is constructed of sheer material, plain net will make a charming frill for the collar and sleeves. In any event, an edge that displays a lace effect or the finish of embroidery is always more decorative than any other. Besides the usual silk materials with which every woman is familiar beautiful fabrics are to be found among linens and cottons. One of these, a sheer cross-barred cotton, makes a lovely blouse, and the same quality of goods appears also with embroidered figures over the surface. For sports Pretty Waist. waists there are a number of fine ginghamns in contrasting stripes of soft colors. These ginghamns are much affected by fashionable tailors. A still less expensive material is cotton crepe, which comes in every color and in both plain and fancy styles.—Washington Star. Must Be in Vivid Colors. Stunning are the sports coats of corduroy, matched by hats of the same material. These coat and hat sets come in a vivid green which always looks so well in sports wearables, in golden brown, in Dutch blue and in white. One coat seen recently was a loose, belted model with flare cut and wide rolling collar, and the hat, made of the same material as the coat, had a stitched crown and flexible brim which could be rolled up or down at will. With a black and white checked mohair skirt one of these sports coats of bright green corduroy, with hat to match, would be exceedingly smart. A rose-colored coat and hat would look well with white duck skirts. A blue coat and hat, with a white corduroy skirt, and so on. Unlike the correct street boot which is always buttoned, the sports boot has laces, and is of white buckskin, or white canvas, with trimmings of tan or green perforated leather, and a very low heel as broad as the sole. Trimmings of All Sorts. Apart from laces the smartest trimming are tiny ornaments and stitching. This handstitching is used in hands on the skirt and about the bodice, and finishes every available edge with an effective line of color. Sometimes it is the old-fashioned chain stitch and sometimes a long and short stitch, very simple, but decorative. It is done in floss, wool or tinsel thread, usually silver. For instance, a black tulle dress may have skirt, sleeves and bodice tucked in wide tucks, each headed with a trailing line of silver stitching. Next to stitching in importance are the new bead trimmings in color. They Practicable and Useful. For the very tiny girdles, between two and five, rompers are the most practicable and useful of garments. These bloomers and short-sleeved, low-necked blouses leave the kiddies free to run about as much as they please. If all mothers would adopt a similar kind of garb for their growing daughters the youngsters would enjoy themselves to their heart's content. Be sure that the frocks you have made for your little girl's playing time are loose and thoroughly comfortable. Have her stretch in every direction when they are being fitted so that no unexpected tightness may spring up in the finished frocks. Choose a material of rather thick, close weave for these day dresses so that they will not tear too quickly. A "New" Material—Cashmere. Cashmere in all the newest colors particularly in pastel shades and tones of green aid yellow, is being displayed in the New York shops. UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD The illustration shows a street suit of white broadcloth with hat and accessories decorated with silhouettes of black swallows. Dame Fashion is now displaying in all the New York shops everything wearable silhouetted in various shapes and shades. As yet the stencil has caught everything wearable except shoes, and it is expected that even footwear will shortly display the figured outline. It is conceded that the fashion is as beautiful as it is striking, because the silhouettes are not only accomplished in black and white but in colors as well. The designs are inked in or else applied with oil paints that wash and do not fade. are used in every possible way. Sometimes they are made into entire motifs or directly sewed to the material of the costume. Tassels and little drop ornaments are made of them, and bead fringes hang from the edges of lace and embroidery. A lovely silver flouncing may have a thread of black woven through it here and there. Bands of this lace are effective under sheer drapings of cliffon or tulle. Color is used in some of the flounces intended for summer dresses, and sometimes the whole flounce is in color. Embroidered crepes and batistes done in white have the center of the flowers in color, and the narrow bands which edge the pattern are outlined with white china beads. Braids are used to give a flare to skirts by being applied on the edge of flounces of two or three tiered skirts. Ribbons On All Costumes Narrow ribbons appear, in one way or another, upon almost every new frock; and even the tailored suit is not immune. Cheruit secures a very likable effect by edging the full bottom of a dark blue serge skirt and some parts of the coat with the very narrowest of ribbon striped lengthwise in red, white, yellow and blue. The ribbon is about an eighth of an inch in width—or possibly a quarter of an inch—so the lines of gay color are little more than pin stripes, but the finish gives an individual touch and at least a wee bit of color. Little loops of narrow ribbon used as a fringe border or applied at greater length in other ways are popular, and small bows of course are everywhere. Bows of narrow ribbon with long ends are often set at the back of the collar or bodice neck, and there are many little ribbon necklets and armlets devised for wear with short sleeves and low-cut bodices. Some of these are entirely of the narrow ribbon, plain or ruched, but others have tiny flowers in connection with the ribbon. Single embroidered flower sprigs—a conceit adopted by Lanvin to such a degree that this floral work amounts almost to the signature—are being used very smartly by other designers, and the hat to be worn with the frock that sports such a note may perhaps echo the flower spray in its trimming. The Tulle Scarf. It is not out of style. It is very modish. But all its style depends on the way it is worn. It no longer just hangs down. During the winter it was pinned to the hair. Now there's another kink—it is draped around. It is quite the thing to drape the lower part of the face. It may match the gown or it may be chosen for becomingness only. Lorelei Veil. One cannot but note the prevalence of taupe-colored veils on well-dressed women. There is something very soft and becoming about a bit of taupe-colored tissue stretched before the face and the delicate tint that is more flattering to the complexion than black. The Lorelé pattern is worthy of its name, for it is distinctly alluring. Vines in delicate design stray up a fine hexagon mesh at either side of the face, so that the latter seems peeping from a fairy bower. More conventional is a trellis pattern and the lattice mesh which crossbars the face with definite lines is liked by women who wear tailored hats. Silk Coats Long; Wool Ones Short It seems to be a pretty safe axiom that silk coats of whatever style are long, tweed and worsted coats short. Even the silk coats to sports suits grow longer as the days pass and are already well down half the length of the short skirt. TOO GOOD TO THROW AWAY "Drippinge" From Fried Lamb or Mutton May Be Made Into an Excellent "Gravy Stock." The housekeeper whose rule it is always to take a savory brown or creamed gravy of the drippings and meat-essence remaining in the frying pan after veal, chicken or hamburg steaks have been cooked, will frequently let the contents of the pan be discarded, if it were used for frying mutton or lamb. This is on account of the quality of the fat that cooks out of the meat, which is disagreeable to many persons. But if care has been taken not to permit any scorching during the frying, let a cupful of boiling water be poured into the pan after the meat has been removed, and let this boil up well, stirring with a spoon, until all traces of the meat-essence have been dissolved away from the pan. Strain this liquid into an earthen or agate bowl, dash a little cold water into it, and set aside in a cool place. In a few hours the fat will have formed a solid cake, and can be removed, leaving a cupful of excellent "gravy stock;" this can be used for re-serving any left-overs of the aforesaid mutton or lamb, if wanted as hash or ragout, adding notably to the flavor and richness thereof; or it can be added to one's soup stock. The same method can be used with the dripping pan in which lamb or mutton has been roasted.—American Cookery. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A good furniture polish is eight ounces of sweet oil, four ounces turpentine, two ounces ammonia. Apply with cloth and polish with woolen cloth. After washing a white knitted jersey, put it on a coat hanger to dry, and hang it on a line in the air. It will keep a better shape than if pegged on the line. Ground rice is excellent for cleaning white cloth. It should be applied with a piece of clean white flannel, left for two or three hours, and then well brushed and shaken. Rusty irons should be heated, rubbed on a piece of beeswax tied in linen, and then with a coarse flannel cloth, sprinkled with household salt. This will give a polish like glass. Silk stockings should never be ironed. Wash them in soapsuds made with good white soap and lukewarm water and rinse in clear water of the same temperature. Rough dry. Do not iron lingerie ribbons while damp if you want them to be soft. Wrap while wet smoothly around a big bottle covered with thick muslin, and press with a cool iron when dry. If the knob has come off the kettle take a cork, put a screw through it, push the screw through the lid of the kettle and screw a burr on the end. You will have a knob that will not come off nor get hot. Fish Balle With Bacon Cook three or four slices of bacon in a frying pan, without letting either the fat or the bacon become discolored by heat. Cut enough pared, raw potatoes in quarters to fill a cup twice; add a teaspoonful of salt and boiling water and cook till tender; drain, mash and add one can of fish flakes, two tablespoonfuls of cream sauce if at hand, or two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-fourth teaspoonful black pepper and a little hot milk; beat thoroughly, shape in cakes, dip these in flour and fry in the bacon fat. Cold boiled potatoes, quickly reboiled, may be used in place of fresh cooked potatoes. Spinach: German Style Cook the spinach by steam (in a steamer) or in a very little water, in a closed vessel, over a slow fire until tender; then chop fine. For every pint of spinach mince one-half cupful fat pork, and fry until crisp. Turn spinach into the frying pan with fried meat, and heat thoroughly; then add one-third cupful of vinegar or lemon juice for each pint of spinach and season with salt. Turn at once into serving dish and garnish with sliced hard-boiled egg. Rhybarb and Raisin Blo Did any of the readers ever put raisins over the top of the rhubarb, about two inches apart? No more plain rhubarb pies for me after trying them with the raisins. Another thing I do which perhaps other sisters do not, and that is, I never peel my rhubarb for pies. I wash it and wipe each stalk carefully and then slice it into the plate. I think it makes a much richer pie that way.—Boston Globe. Peach a la Bordelaise Use canned peaches for this. Put them in a flat gratin dish and pour over the following mixture: Two ounces of butter, two ounces of flour, one ounce of sugar, half a pint of milk and peach clamp, four eggs. Cook butter, flour, sugar and milk in a stewpan. When cold, add yolks and whipped whites of the eggs last. Bake half an hour in moderate oven. Codfish Salad. Put a piece of salt codfish to soak over night. In the morning pour off the water, put on fresh cold water and let come to a scald. Taste, and if still salt, repeat, as it wants to be tender and soft like fresh fish. Pick up, in flakes, cut a hard-boiled egg in pieces, mix with it crap lettuce leaves, cover with the mixture and pour salad dressing over it. Creamed Celery and Egg A leftover of creamed celery was rewarmed by setting dish in cold water and letting come to boll, then pushed to less hot place on stove. Just before removing from heat, two leftover hard-boiled eggs were chopped and cut into the cream. Served on toast as a supper dish. Changing Pillow Cases. In putting on fresh pillow cases, start the pillow into the case, then, holding it to you press against the wall, and the pillow will slip in easily, filling the corners.
