THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 47. THE BUFFALO ASSOCIATION HUGHES' ATTITUDE KNOWN TO LEADERS Had Informed Committeemam He Would Accept Nomination if It Was Unanimous. STEAM ROLLER WAS APPLIED Conference of Representatives of 'Favorite Sons' Held and They Were Told if Hughes Was Defeated Teddy Would Come First. Chicago, Ill.—It has become known here that Justice Hughes' attitude on the Republican nomination was known to the leaders of the party before he was named. Herbert Parsons, national committeeman from New York, brought the word to the leaders that Mr. Hughes would accept the nomination if it was voted unanimously or nearly so. Inside Story. Here is the "inside story" of the nomination as told by one of the big leaders of the Republican party: "Careful polls of the members of each delegation had been made and state leaders knew the real attitude of each delegate toward both Col. Roosevelt and Justice Hughes. "A majority of them had asserted that they would not vote for Roosevelt. It was seen Mr. Hughes could be nominated after the pledges to 'favorite sons' had been fulfilled, but the absence of any statement or indication from him showing his position in the matter made it uncertain whether he would resign from the supreme court bench to enter the fight as the party's leader." Parsons had stopped in on his way to the conven- had breakfasted with Mr. he stated to him frankly a he portion of the delegates his nomination and that he some indication of whether accept it if offered to him by intion. imination Was Certain. aid Mr. Hughes replied he was candidate for the nomination; considered his position on the court bench a great honor, b that if he was nominated, either unanimously or practically unanimously he would consider it a patriotic duty and an obligation to the country to resign from the bench and run. From that moment his nomination was practically certain. "The path for his nomination was cleared between 2 and 4 o'clock Saturday morning. A conference of representatives of 'favorite sons' was held in a room at the Congress hotel. They were told in plain terms that Mr. Hughes had the best chance, and that if he was defeated for the nomination Roosevelt would come first in the preference of the delegates before any of them. "Sherman of Illinois was the first to quit the field. He was followed by Weeks of Massachusetts. The rest wouldn't quit, but later all got out in a bunch. The nomination of Mr. Hughes was then a matter of a single ballot." Falls Down Shaft. Killed. Akron, O. — William W. Logan, aged 30; was instantly killed here when he fell four stories down an elevator shaft at the M. O'Nell Co. store. He was a furniture repairer at the store.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1916. VICKSBURG IS READY FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS Mississippi Folks Will Royally Entertain Big Religious Gathering. Vicksburg, Miss.-The local committee in charge of arrangements for the entertainment of delegates and visitors to the national Sunday school congress, to be held here from June 14 to 19, inclusive, announces that it is prepared for the task. Besides the information to be gathered by attending the business sessions, of the congress, the committee has planned a number of sightseeing tours and social functions. On account of the reasonable rates of fare granted by the railroads for this special occasion the attendance is expected to exceed that of any other annual gathering of the congress. The Sunday school and other religious workers in this section of the south are preparing to attend in large numbers. The program for the week continues many interesting topics, most of which will be led by experts in Sunday school management and methods of teaching. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the congress, has given years of study to the plan of developing the organization along the most approved lines of religious, work in its relation to children and youths of the 'teen age. This special study has resulted in a well thought out group of subjects embodying methods of teaching, discipline, how to make the Sunday school grow, how to conduct teachers' meetings, the business end of the Sunday school and how to keep everybody in the Sunday school busy, which be presents to the Sunday school congress workers from year to year. That the Sunday school congress has proved its worth as a live agency for the diffusion of religious truth is attested by the fact that it matters not in what section of the country the annual meetings are held they are attended by thousands. As the work and workers increase in efficiency the wider spreads the influence of the congress spirit. The organization is a great lever of Baptist strength, skill and ingenuity. GOOD CITIZENS' LEAGUE. Interest Revived in an Organization Which Has Largo Possibilities. "The Negro race must not be treated as objects of charity nor granted any special favors. The colored people must be given a fair chance, but they should understand they must use that chance and tee the mark of their own responsibility as citizens," says the Kansas City Times in a recent issue. This is the central idea around which the Good Citizens' league, an organization for the betterment of the race, has been built. The league was organized several years ago and has an extensive membership in the middle west. It is about to be revived for an native campaign. The league is not political. Mrs. Marin P. Williams, a business woman, is president and national organizer. Associated with her in the work are Charles H. Calloway, an attorney; Otis Schackefer, author; T. W. H. Williams and Mrs. John Lang. J. Dallas Bowser, for many years a schooteacher, is treasurer of the organization. In May Mrs. Williams will go to Oklahoma, where the work of organization is first to be undertaken. But the movement is to be made nation wide. NEW. BRANCH. ASSOCIATION. Miss M. W. Ovington Heads Thrifty Body of National Organization. New York. At the organization meeting of the New York branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held the latter part of May in the Lenox Community center, New York, the following officers were elected: President, Miss Mary W Ovington; vice president, James W. Johnson; secretary, George Lattimore; treasurer, John E. Nall; executive committee, Miss Martin Greening, Arthur B. Splingar, John M. Royall, Mrs. R. C. Ransom, E. A. Johnson and Roy Nash. An audience of over 200 filled the auditorium of public school 80, which started the organization of splendid enthusiasm. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Hutching C. Bishop of the board of directors of the national association and by Roy Nash, national secretary. The St. Phillip's choir rendered two beautiful selections, and Miss Margaret Anderson recited. The new president, Miss Mary White Ovington, said a few words in closing the meeting and called a meeting of the executive committee to arrange for future plans. Sunday School, Convention Feature. A feature of the program for the coming meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. I. convention will be a period devoted to work among children, in which the latter will render the program. Miss J. C. Jackson will direct the arrangements for this feature of the convention's work. The sessions of the convention will be held at the Second Baptist church, North Philadelphia. Rev. A. P. Camphor Elected Bishop.

TRAINING SCHOOL GAINS FRIENDS Institution In Durham, N. C. Ge's Liberal Support. RAGE CO-OPERATION URGED Leading School of Its Kind in North Carolina Closure Year Clear of Debts General Julian S. Carr, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Pays a High Compliment to President Shopard. By N. BARNELL DODSON. The National Training school, Durham, N. C. Dr. James E. Shepard, president, closed the school year in May with the institution free of debt. Thrift, efficiency and economy have characterized the work of the school from its very beginning, but the term of 1915-16 registers the highest mark in any one of theowe essentials to steady progress and permanent achievement which it has attained. Although it is among the younger of well balanced schools in the south for the education and training of our young men and women, it has been lifted to the very forefront. Dr. James E. Shepard's career as president and founder of this great institution has been one of constant struggle and heavy responsibility since the work was begin. But the persistence, optimism and faith which he had in the soundness of his proposition have brought a well merited reward. Through all the struggles as well as the periods of fighter burdens this educational genius has held the confidence and respect of the white people of his section of the colony, the north and other parts of the Union. Let the race keep faith in its possibilities, learn more and more the importance of being united and follow good leadership, and our friends of means among the white people will come to our rescue in any worthy effort for the advancement of our people. We take the liberty of saying that the race is truly grateful to the two, their friendship for their record liberal gift, and to the bridge Pattah, General Julian S. Curr, Treasurer J. H. Mason and many others who have added in putting the National Training school on a firm footing. General Julian S. Curr, chairman of the board of trustees, could not attend the commencement exercises personally, but he a better to Dr. Shepard in which he in part said. "I geomethly and deeply pigret that a very important and previous engagement prohibits my attendance upon the commencement exercises. If it were in my power I would be delighted to be present. It is my judgment that Dr. Shepard deserves the encouragement and assistance of every que in the community who is interested in the uplift and betterment of the colored race. There is a demand for such a school and it should be properly supported. Too much of the work has been left for the president to do, and under the circumstances, he has accomplished all that he has I can hardly understand. "There is a limit to human endurance, and I for one feel that the time has come when we owe it to ourselves to show more substantial friendship to Dr. Shepard and give film and his school a more coral, and liberal support. All for one and one for all is a motto that I would commend for your consideration. My encouragement and support of the school in the past is a token of my interest and good will. "Those who have nothing more substantial to give should not begrudge the president a kindly word of encouragement which to one in his place and burdened as he must necessarily be means more than most of us think. And those who are able to do more should do so with abacery." Owing to a slight threat affection, Mr. Mason, the treasurer, had his report read by Mr. Brawley, in which he in-part said: "As a citizen of burham and a friend of the colored race, I have come to share in your joy on this occasion. As the treasurer of this institution I have come to make some important announcements. This should be a time of great rejoicing for all. There has come a wonderful change in the life of the school since its opening day. At that time a large mortgage debt faced the institution, and there was not a penny in the treasury with which to meet the current expenses. "Today there is not a penny due on the bonded indebtedness of the school, and every cost of current expenses presented to me for payment has been met, and I treasurer I can make the statement that the board of trustees can now assume the property of the institution absolutely unimmended, with the tite vested in them and with nothing due on the school term of 1875.16. "In addition to this there are still a few dollars in the treasury, and the money for the immediate improvements for buildings is in sight. "I did not come here to say much. I am simply a business man, a citizen of Durham, a part of this institution and a friend of the colored race. I desire to say to the colored people, especially, you can never please by pulling some one else down all of you must learn to see the good and not the bad in our fellow men. Be a booster instead of a knocker." WHITMAN PROVIDES FOR REGIMENT OF COLORED MEN Race to Enter National Guard on New York Governor's Order. New York—For the past five years or more a large number of colored citizens of this city have been agitating for the formation of a regiment in the national guard of the state. Companies have been formed and drilled to almost perfection in military tactics and discipline by Colonel Charles W. Kilmore. The movement was strongly backed by most of our weekly papers here, but received a setback from time to time. Colonel Filmore has been the most persistent advocate of the regiment idea and has stuck to his "grus." The hearts of all who favor the movement, were guided by the news from Albany, through the daily papers, and from governor Charles S. Clinton himself, who made the announcement at Manhattan Cash on the evening of May 25 that the governor had signed an order for the formation of a regiment of colored men for the national guard of the state. Plans for the organization of the regiment are being worked out by the military authorities. Lieutenant Colonel William S. Perkins, chief surgeon of the national guard, and two other medical officers of the militia will have charge of examining applicants for enlistment in the regiment. As the applicants come forward one company will be organized and officers detailed to drill the men. The object will be to organize a model company, and it is believed that there are enough men in this city who have had service in the four colored regiments in the army to make this unit one of the best in the state. As stated above, the struggle of the race to enter the national guard began some five years ago. A bill authorizing the organization of a Negro command in this state passed both houses during the session of the 1911 legislature, but dropped out of sight. In 1912 a petition was sent to Governor Dix with a muster roll of a professional regiment consisting of a thousand men, signal and hospital corps and twelve uniformed companies asking for incorporation in the national guard, but no further action was taken in the matter. In 1913 the legislature passed a bill for a Negro regiment, with Negro officers, and Governor Suzler signed the measure. When examinations were held in this city for commissions in the regiment it was found that under the military law candidates would have to follow the same rules laid down for white officers. Although several colored men were eligible, not enough could pass the examinations to be officers in the regiment. It was suggested that white officers be prohibited for the regiment, but this was not at all satisfactory to the colored people, and the movement was again halted. BAPTISTS TO HONOR LISLE. Monument In Memory of First Modern Ensley Missionary Proposed. The Rev. A. R. Robinson, chairman of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention, and the Rev. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary, ask the cooperation of the entire denomination in the new missionary monument fund movement. It is proposed to erect a monument to the memory of the first Baptist modern foreign missionary, George Liske, to be paid for by Negro Baptists throughout the world. The shaft is to be erected in the front yard of the First Bryant Baptist church, Savannah, Ga. It is to cost $500. The ground plan is to be made up of stones, one from each state where Negro Baptists are organized, from the West Indies, South America and Africa. A letter has been sent to the president of every Baptist state convention asking for a piece of marble or a durable stone from his state twice the size of a common brick, with the initials of the state chiseled on it. This stone should be sent to the Lise monument committee, 717 Broadway, Savannah, Ga., on or before July 1. The monument will (D. V.) be unveiled and dedicated during the meeting of the national Baptist convention in September, should it be finished by that time. School Color Line In Florida Fails. Judge Gibbs of the circuit court of Florida recently declared unconstitutional the Florida law prohibiting white teachers from teaching Negro schools and Negro teachers from teaching in white schools. He instructed the authorities to release the bondsmen of several sisters in charge of convent schools, who had been held for violation of the law. Judge Gibbs ruled that the state had no power over private schools and could not legally prohibit one race from instructing another race. Work of Woman's Progressive League. Professor Ralph Radcliffe, principal of the Watt Street school, Pittsburgh, was the chief speaker at the last meeting for May of the Greater Pittsburgh Woman's Progressive league. Professor Radcliffe's subject was "The School and Community." The league is doing a good work and has growth to be a most helpful factor in the community. Wonderful Tribute to Dr. Washington. The students and teachers of the Tuskegee Institute have contributed the sum of $17,000 toward the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. This large amount shows their loyalty to the race and their concern for their late father. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. 'CRUSH DISLOYALTY,' IS WILSON'S APPEAL Says Nation Is Facing Test as Vital as That Caused by the Civil War. MARCHESAT HEADOF PARADE Carries U.'S. Colors as He Leads 50, 000 Marchers on Flag Day; Speaks to Thousands at Foot of the Washington Monument. Washington, D. C. A charge that foreign-born citizens of the United States are trying to levy political blackmail and to undermine the influence of the national government was made by President Wilson in a flag speech here. The president spoke before a crowd of thousands gathered at the foot of the Washington monument after he had reviewed for five hours a great preparedness parade at the head of which he himself had marched down Pennsylvania avenue. The president's address in part follows: The spectacle of the morning has been a very moving spectacle indeed—an almost unimproved outpouring of thousands of people who have interest in the safety of the country and the sacredness of the flag which is its emblem. He has put remind you how much sentiment has been poured in honor of the flag of the United States. Sometimes we have been charged with being a very sentimental friend, fond of expressing in general rhetorical phrases principles not only in the language but in the spirit. It is an element symbol of the unity of our history that upon this monument which commemorates the man who did most to establish the American unions in the world, it is so multiplied since his time, associated with these lines of red and white which mean all that is pure in our purpose and all that is red in our blood in the service of the nation. It is full of inspiration because of his example. Apparently this mission is again and again to be tested, and always tested in the same way. The last supreme test was through was the test of the Civil war. You know how deeply that struggle into the sentiments of this people, and how strong that great struggle when men's hearts were bitter and sore, and memories hurt as well as exalted, and how it gave a sigh, a gift, came in the second part of the war. "You Know How That Ended." "And you know now that coded. While it seemed a time of terror, it has turned into a time of peace. Where are now the divisions of sentiment which it us asunder at the time of the Civil war?" Did you not see the blue and gray united this morning in the process of generation walking together in happy companionship? Was there any contradiction of feeling or division of sentiments? And yet again the test is applied, my fellow-countrymen. A new sort of division of feeling has sprung up amongst us. You know that we are derived in our offspring from the same blood. It is not singular that sentiment should be disturbed by what is going on on the other side of the water, but while sentiment may be disturbed, loyalty ought not I want to be completely just, my follow-ups, in assessing the circumstances of this day, and I am sure that even when the praise and the blame of this day of test, I believe that the vast majority of those men whose language is directly derived from the nations now at war are just as loyal to the flag of the United States as those who have been this beloved land, but there are some men of that extraction who are not, and they, not only in past months but at the present time, are doing their best to undermine the influence of the government of the United States by absolutely crushed, from a very small minority, but a very active and subtle minority. We works under ground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it; and there are those at a moment who are not so proud of the United States, and saying, "Do what we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls." That is the sort of thing against which the United States is so proud and triumph of sentiment" which will teach these gentlemen once for all that loyalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States of America. I realize personally, my follow-ups, the peculiar significance of the flag of the United States at this time, because "there was a day not many years ago, when, although I thought I knew what the flag of the United States was, and my whole consciousness as it has now, If you could have gone with me through the space of the last two years and could have felt the subtle impact of intrigue and solitude, and have realized with me that the authority are trustees not only of the power, but of the very spirit and purpose of the United States, you would realize with me the solemnity with which I look upon that sublime symbol of our unity. I took the liberty a few weeks ago to ask our fellow-citizens all over the United States to gather together in celebration of this day, the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution, had no legal right to declare it a holiday; I had no legal right to ask it for the cessation of business; but when you read the papers tomorrow morning I think you will see that authority was not necessary; that the people of the country were waiting for an opportunity to cease the authority and gather in united demonstration of their feeling as a nation. Woman Shoots Negro. Sandusky, O. —The police here are looking for a negro who was shot in the foot by Mrs. Schneike while trying to gain an entrance to the home, of Albert Schneike, contractor, on Perryst. They followed a trail of blood to a clump of marsh grass in East Sandusky, where it was lost by the pursuers. When the negro attempted to insert a skeleton key into the lock on the front door Mrs. Schneike fired through one of the panels. A blow was followed by a curse as the mannauded, THE EAGLE GERMAN WARSHIPS SUNK IN BALTIC Reported That Russian Fleet Sinks Several of Enemy's Vessels in Sea Fight 12 MERCHANTMEN,1 CRUISER Russians Closing in Fast on Czernowitz: Italians Report Driving Back the Austrians; No Infantry Actions at Verdun. Copenhagen.-Sweden.-The German cruiser Koenig Von Sachsen, a destroyer and 12 merchantmen have been sunk in a sea fight in the Baltic by Russians, according to a report received by the Exchange Telegram Co. Attempt to Land Reinforcements. The reported engagement apparently resulted from an attempt of the Germans to land a large body of reinforcements for Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's offensive against the Russian line in the region of Jacobstadt on the Rig-Dvinsk-front. The presence of 14. merchant ships betrays the proportions of the reported movement. Describing the Baltic fight, the Dagens Nyheder says the Russians had six destroyers and several submarines and were going at such speed that the Germans were taken completely by surprise, and only fired on shot, then made for port in utmost haste. "It is believed," says the paper, "that 12 merchantmen were sunk, while a German armed, trawler, which arrived at Nykoping, Sweden, had 150 men aboard from a German destroyer that had been sent to the bottom. The Koenig Von Sachsen was seen to sink, and it is supposed that all of her crew were drowned. Available, naval registers do not list the Koenig Von Sachsen. It probably is one of the four cruisers laid down in 1913 and expected to be completed last year or this. Like an Irresistible Tide. Amsterdam, Holland.—Sweeping onward like an irresistible tide, the mighty Russian drive which began in Volhynia has reached the outskirts of Czernowitz, the capital of Bukowina, and the Russian main objective in the campaign. The announcement reaches here from the Muscovite capital that the brushing armies of the czar occupied the village of Sinatyn, 20 miles northwest of Czernowitz, and are closing in on the fortress from the east, southeast and north. There is a momentary lull in the desperate infantry fighting which has been going on for several days north-east of Verdum. Preparations for further assaults on the French defenses are in progress, however, Paris reporting a violent bombardment in the Vaux sector. Rome reports that the Italian army has completely checked the victorious onrush of the Austrians in the Tyrol and is slowly forcing back the enemy and is slowly forcing back the enemy. TO RUN OWN CAMPAIGN TO RUN OWN CAMPAIGN CANDIDATE HUGHES WILL HAVE HIS SAY AS TO ITS MAN- AGEMENT. New York City.—If the Republi- can old guard thinks it can run the campaign of Charles Evans Hughes to suit itself, it had better watch out for bumps. Close personal friends of the candidate have let it be known that Hughes will insist on having the say in the conduct of the campaign. He will strive to give it a vitality which will attract the vote of the Progressives. There is a feeling that should the old guardsters of the Murray Crane-Boles Penrose-Reed Smoot type appear to have control of the campaign the Progressive vote would be coy. Vets Hold Camp Fire. Marion, O.-Civil war veterans who are attending the golden jubilee encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held their annual camp fire ceremonies and heard addresses by United States Senator Warren G. Harding, Gov. Frank B. Willis, Commissioner of Pensions G. H. Saltzger, Judge William Z. Davis and others. Gov. Willis and Senator Harding alternated in addresses to the camps at the Epworth M. E. church and the Alhambra theater. Mexican Women Prepared ; Mexican Women Prepared Douglas, Arlz—Mrs. Rosaura V. de Tovar of Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, president of the Sonora Women's Rifle association, received a letter from Gov. Dolfo De La Huerta of Sonora, Mexico, accepting her proffer of the services' of the 2,000 members of the association as soldiers in case of American intervention. Recover Stolen Gems Alliance, O. — Police recovered over $1,000 worth of diamonds and other jewels when they arrested Ralph Kane of Wheeling, J. C. Turner of Louisville and Miss May Lougha Bridge of Galeaton, Pa., accused of grand larceny. Unable to give bail, the accused were taken to the county jail at Canton.

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith us to the end dare to do our duty to understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. A headline says: "Villa's arms dug up." But the troops will probably be withdrawn without getting his body. Be sure to read carefully the "Doings of the Race" department in this paper. It alone is always worth the price of the paper. President Wilson should have followed his "flag day" proclamation with another proclamation fixing a memorial day for the victims of the Lustania and of the massacre in Columbus, New Mexico. Ex-Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes' letter to the Republican national convention, accepting the nomination, is a gem. It took all the wind out of Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt's sails and wiped out the last excuse he can consistently offer for accepting the Progressives' nomination. The editor of the N. Y. Age's intentions are good but Major Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee (Ala.) N. & L. Institute, is able to make denial for himself and will have to do so if he wishes people to believe that he did not say what he is quoted by the daily press of the country as saying anent the outrageous mistreatment of his wife and other relatives in that Pullman sleeping car, recently. Col. Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt has shown by his offer to withdraw in favor of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge that the Republican platform is satisfactory to him, and he has shown by his conditional declination of the Progressive nomination that he is prepared to support the nominee of the Republican convention if his attitude on "the vital questions of the day" meet with his approval. This it most certainly does. President Wilson's statement in his address before the Peace League, that "we have ourselves upon occasion in the past been offenders against the law of diplomacy" is looked upon as a reference to the American part in setting up Panama as a state independent of Colombia, in order to make possible the Panama Canal. If an inter-oceanic canal had ever been started in the present administration, presidential change of mind would have made it crooked that a boat entering at Colon would come out three miles north of that town and five miles out to sea, and the skipper would be found dead of vertigo on the bridge. "SISTER" BETHUNE AND "JIM-CROW Y.'S." Mrs. Mary Bethune, principal of a girl's school at Daytona, Fla., in speaking at St. John's A. M. E. church, this city, Sunday, said among other things that our people in the north ought to stop their contention over the advisa bility of certain kinds of Negro institutions such as Colored Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s and accept them under whatever auspices they are offered, in order to help the mass of our people who are flocking from the south to the north. At the same time she deplored conditions affecting our people in the south, especially in Florida, which are the outcome of blighting race discrimination and segregation. Our readers will recall that Florida some months ago even enacted a law preventing whites from teaching in our schools of that state, and our teachers from teaching in their schools. Of course this latter was not necessary. Mrs Bethune also she had been offered a room at a Rev. Mosher's home and that she refused it, saying she preferred to be with her own people. Rev Mosher and family being white. Mrs Bethune does not seem to know that "the great mass of our people flocking from the south to the north" are not eligible to membership in any Y. W. C. A. or Y. M. C. A. Her statement is a very common mistake that the advocates of "jimcrow Y.'s" make. They seem to feel that a "Y." is a social settlement house or an organization on the order of an institutional church—a sort of a reform organization—when it is anything but that sort of thing. In the last few weeks more than a thousand of our people have come to Cleveland from the south, many of whom can be seen in Central Av., any evening, and especially on Saturday evenings. Not one of them in one hundred could possibly secure membership in a "Y," but all show unmistakably the need of the direct influence of a social settlement house or institutional church (if they could be induced to enter such a place). When Mrs. Bethune refused the room at Rev. Mosher's home to go among "her own people," where she was undoubtedly required to pay for one, she not only made clear why she is in this section complaining of discrimination and segregation in the south and promoting the same things here, which include "jim-crow Y.'s, of course. She wants money for her school and is apparently willing "to trim her sails to any wind" that she feels will help her to secure it. Wonder what prejudiced WHITE persons as well as "jim-crow" Negroes she has been discussing the matter with here in Cleveland? The sane of our people here in the north know that "jim-crow Y.'s" are invariably the wedges to separate schools, other color-line institutions, segregation as to residence, etc.; they know too that thousands upon thousands of our good people of the south, who are here in the north, came to escape the beneful influence and miserably insulting treatment discrimination and segregation (that Mrs. Bethune complains of) beget. She too knows this. And yet, in order that she may get money for her school, she comes to the north, to Cleveland, and preaches a pernicious doctrine that would justify our people of this section of the country in making her money-making trip an objection. In marked contrast to Mrs. Bethune's most unfortunate statements are those of Miss Kathryn Johnson, field agent of the N. A. A. C. P., who spoke on the same subject in the same church one evening the week previous. She said: "There is a distinction between separate institutions and segregated institutions. Example: especially; the A.M. E. church is a separate institution, but Colored Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s, separate schools, etc., are segregated institutions — unchristian harmful and un-American. They are too, only 'stepping stones' to more and worse forms of segregation and are used as an argument for segregation in housing districts—a vital stroke at our property rights. There are those Negroes, spineless and weak-kneed who say we need segregation as that we want to prevent it. What we need is manhood, womanhood and not to sell our birthright to 'a mess of potriage.' We should keep up the fight against 'jim-crow' Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.'s and all forms of segregation, and never till victory is ours. If any one tries to introduce segregation here he should be run in the lakt." HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS. The long awaited Republican National convention has done its work at last and Charles Evans Hughes, former governor of New York state and until Saturday an associate justice of the U. S. Supreme court, is our candidate for President, and former Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana, our candidate for his old position. It is a splendid ticket; a winner. That is the consensus of the best opinion in the country. Against his wish, without the slightest effort on his part to obtain the nomination, without an authorized leader working in his behalf, without an organization of any kind, with some of the most influential men in the country laboring against him, Charles Evans Hughes is made the unanimous choice of the representatives of the Republican party for the highest office in the land. It is a fact utterly with out precedent since the rise of political parties in this country. Never before has the office sought the man with such persistence; never before has it had to overcome obstacles set up by the man himself or by the circumstances of his position. Nothing less than an absolutely overwhelming public sentiment in his favor could have accomplished this result; nothing less than a complete confidence in his ability, his integrity and his courage; nothing less than a profound conviction that Charles Evans Hughes was the one man fitted in every way for the present situation. The development of this sentiment and conviction is not measured by weeks nor yet by months. It has been slowly growing in the minds of the people for a long time. Earnest men throughout the country, men, for the most part, not connected with political activities—business men, professional men, farmers, working men, all classes of citizens who have the interests of the country and of the party at heart, have been giving thought to the question of the candidate to be put forward by the Republicans at this time, and a year ago the trend of opinion toward Hughes was plainly discernible. To the "Roosevelt" cry of how does he stand on Americanism? Mr. Hughes replies: "I stand for an Americanism that knows no ulterior purpose; for a patriotism that is single and complete, whether race or creed, we have but one country and we do not for an instant tolerate any division of allegiance." That leaves nothing more to be said on that subject. It would be impossible to put it any plainer. "I stand," he says, "for the firm and unfilching maintenance of ALL THE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ON LAND AND SEA," and with the same directness he expresses his opinion of the Mexican policy of the Wilson administration, "a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties." "We interfered without consistency; and while seeking to dictate where we were not concerned we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens." Interference without consistency and dictation where we were not concerned, are directly responsible for our troubles in Mexico. So, too, he condemns the European policy of the Wilson administration and in half a dozen lines exposes the sources of its weakness, pointing to the almost forgotten fact that "at the outset of the administration the high responsibilities of our diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations were subordinated to a conception of partisan requirements." The country will recall the removal of experienced and competent diplomats at the beginning THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1918 of the Wilson administration and the substitution of men, mostly democratic politicians, without knowledge of diplomacy, while at the same time the office of secretary of state was killed by one without any qualification for the office. "We presented to the world a humiliating spectacle of inaptitude," says Mr. Hughes. "Belated efforts have not availed to recover the influence and prestige so unfortunately sacrificed, and brave words have been stripped of their force by indecision." He declares it to be our duty "to have the first ability of the country always at its command here and abroad in diplomatic service," "and by clear correctness and justness of our positions, and our manifest ability and disposition to sustain them, to justify our place among the nations." To this end he believes in "making prompt provision to secure absolutely our national security." Mr. Hughes' telegram of acceptance is brief, but it goes right to the marrow of the issues of the present, reveals his position clearly, distinctly and emphatically, and shows unmistakably that he has grown, broadened very perceptibly, since he was governor of the "Empire state." Of Mr. Fairbanks little need be said since he is so well known as a statesman and as an official. "As goes New York and Indiana, so goes the election" will be as true, this fall, as it has been on numerous occasions in the past, and herein lies the good judgment and wisdom shown in the nomination of the two gentlemen named. Both are singularly capable men because of experience in office and exceptional ability. The party is to be congratulated on their nomination and the way in which it materialized. FRESH OHIO NEWS.

New York City.—President Wilson was called a "batter of North, South, East and West," and Secretary Daniels was called untruthful and was vigorously hissed at a meeting of the National Security League in the Hotel Astor on June 2. Henry Reedahl, after giving the lie to the Secretary of State, was called "for the good of the country." He then declared: "This is a Southern administration. Southerners are running the Government for the benefit of the South. The North, as usual, is paying the bills." J. C. Sprigg, of 39 West Fifty-fifth street, a Southern man, leaped to his feet; "I protest against his Southern administration." he shouted to the audience of 250. "I am personally responsible for Woodrow Wilson coming into public life. He is not a Southerner. He has betrayed North, South, East and West. When I asked him to join the Virginians, a Southern society, he said: "I am surprised at your proposal. I am the best being in the South." I want to say that he not appointed a decent Southerner to his Cabinet, except Attorney-General Gregory." THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS Given for the Education of Our People in the Southland. New York City.—The Rockefeller general education board, last week announced gifts of $789,890 for educational institutions.

For the equipment of normal schools in North Carolina, $4,050; for country schools, $10,000; for support of professors of secondary education, $34,130; state agent for schools, $34,500. Any of our people who wish free certificates for entrance to the State Normal and Industrial department of Wilberforce University, for their sons and daughters, should make application to the members of the Ohio Legislature from their county.

DOINGS OF THE RACE William Shorter won the Altoona, Pa. high school honors this year and in 1915. There were 200 senior and junior contestants. Ex-Vice President Fairbanks when a student of Ohio Wesleyan College at Delaware, worked as a carpenter for an Afro-American contractor. Editor Wm. M. Trotter of Boston was operated upon successfully, last week, and is in a hospital. His wife will attend to his business for two months. A number of our race papers republished the excellent article, on "The Moton Incident," written by Rev. Wm. A. Byrd of Rochester, N. Y., for The Gazette of June 3, 1916. Lewis S. Davidson won the second prize in the Sandham oratorical contest at New York University, recently. There were two prizes, $100 and $75, and there were six contestants. H. P. Gonsouland of New Orleans, La., has invented a valuable device for armed can Molter rooms that makes it unnecessary to lock the doors at city limits, etc. He is an old railroad porter. Rev John Albert Williams, the only Afro-American priest in the Episcopal diocese of Nebraska, was unanimously elected secretary of the diocese at the annual convention of the Diocese Convention held in Omaha recently. Colored people are rejoicing in the fact that a brilliant film of the "Birth of a Nation," which exhibited for a second time in Boston has been obliged to leave owing to a lack of patronage.-Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Lee Welch of Wichita Falls, Tex., was our only student in a class numbering more than four hundred at Armour Institute, Chicago, taking an electrical engineering course. Young Welch was awarded a scholarship off Chicago syndicate, having made the highest grade average for the year. Mrs. May Howard Jackson of Washington, D. C., who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, is a most promising sculptor. She has on exhibition, in that city, three recent works that are fine: One is a portrait bust of Prof. Miller, dean of the School of Fine Arts, a small head of a child, and the third is a representation of a "Mulatto Mother and Her Child." Jack Wells, Beloit, Wise., High School's representative, who won first place in the state high school oratorical contest, recently, is 18 years old and a freshman. He won the first in the Beloit home contest, first in the league contest at Janesville, and first in the district contest at Whitewater, training a place among contestants in the state contest at Merrill, Wise. The office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, held for 24 years through Democratic as well as Republican administrations by Afro-Americans, was filled last week Thursday by the appointment of John F. Kennedy, the first African-American teeman for the District of Columbia. The position has been vacant for two years since the resignation of Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia. In the Republican National convention last week sat only five Afro-Americans delegates from Mississippi, six from Georgia, one vote each), twelve from Georgia, six from South Carolina, two from Tennessee, one from Kentucky (with half a vote), and about 15 or 20 others—all from the south; not one-third the number they are entitled to. They "cut no figure" in the convention's Speaking of "The Moton Incident," the Cincinnati (O.) Union says: "If the above is true, then Maj. Moton will rise to fame and fortune as did his illustrious predecessor. 'Crooking the presidents' brings wealth from the great masses of white people alright, but it also brings a vast amount of contempt. There is so much bowing, cringing and nauseating servility shown by some of our people, is it any wonder that even the 25th president of the United States, the Lord's annotated, and therefore vastly superior to all Colored people?" This paper had no retraction to make in the Major Moton affair. It thought then and knows now that no improvement was made by his promotion. Booker T. Washington's palmate hand was the hood rights not only in the south but the north as well for untold years to come, and his successor's ambition is to be patted on the back and be called "a good darky"—to the lower regions with the "good darky" class. Any man who goes back on his wife when abused for contending for her rights paid for, to ride in a Pullman car, is unfit to lead and teach our students at Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. We learn with regret of the indisposition of Editor William Monroe Trotter and his wife. The Boston Guardian has done great service for our people. A testimonial was tendered him and a sung sum was raised for his benefit. Both needed rest, and they are getting it. We are of the opinion that both of them are making sacrifices for the race that the race does not realize or appreciate. Mrs. Trotter is at the elbow of her distinguished husband practically of the time. Richmond (Va.) Planter of the race will probably should contribute one dollar to a "Press Testimonial Fund" for Editor Trotter. Start it editor Mitchell and put The Gazette on the list at once and our dollar will be sent promptly. No, the Colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference, held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., recently, did not "walk out." They simply assented to arrangements to be "set aside"—to be segregated into a Colored general conference, to be presided over by a white bishop, being denied the privilege of directing their own labors in the Master's vineyard. Two years from now the two wings of the M. E. church, North and South, will unite and the separation of the Colored and the refusal of bishopric honors to the 350,000 Colored communicants are designating the way for the appering "love feast." There is verity in the assertion that, in its primal manifestations, the church is a social organization, with religion as a byproduct—Washington (D. C.) Eagle.

The way Maschke and Fitzgerald "jugged" the delegation back and forth while Davis remained adamant against seeing the mothers-in-black" was a favorite expression, the side of the argument, it is said. Charity hospital surgeons operated for three hours early last Saturday to save the life of John A. Fletcher, age 27 (white), cut in the throat by a Negro burglar whom Fletcher had chased from his home, 2729 Prospect Ave., early last week Friday. Surgeons said the operation was successful and that they hope Fletcher will live. Inspection of the home made it possible for physicians to feed him. He is paralyzed and cannot talk. Police were holding a man they believed to have been Fletcher's assailant. Our ministers had better "wake up" and take some steps to care for the moral life of a thousand or more newcomers, from Central Ave, to Central Ave, this Saturday evening, if they wish to. It is clearly their duty to do something and high time they were moving in the matter. Our ministers should call on the chief of police AT ONCE for relief from that threatening and dangerous Central Ave. condition—worse by TEN TIMES over that it has ever been, as a direct result of the southern infux to the city in recent weeks.

STANDARD PRICES AID COMPETITION False Pretense In Merchandising as Practiced by Big City Stores Is Method Used to Injure Small Dealers and to Destroy Small Towns—Dishonesty Can't Benefit Consumers. The true competition is between rival articles, a competition in excellence, which can never be maintained if, through the perfidy of the retailer who cuts prices for his own ulterior purposes, the manufacturer is forced to compete with the retailer who owns production, while the retailer excels his losses on the cut price by the sale of other articles at, or above, their reasonable price. IT IS A FALLACY TO ASSUME THAT THE PRICE CUTTER THE PRICE LOSS THE PUBLIC MAKES OVER OTHER PURCHASES. Fixing the price on all brands of high grade flour is a very different thing from fixing the price on one brand of high grade flour. The one means destruction of all competitions, and the other increased excellence. The other means heightened competition and intensified incentive to increased excellence. This language, used by the supreme court of the state of Washington in a unanimous decision of the case of the Fisher Flouring Mills Co. versus C. A. Swanson, clearly sets forth the interest the consumer has in maintaining the highest form of competition—that of quality. Competition in price results in inferior quality and the evil of substitution. Dishonest advertisers use cut prices on standard and widely known merchandise to lure customers into their establishments, where an effort will be made to sell anonymous goods. The genuine bargain is used as "built to spread the impression that all merchandise is sold at the same low margin of profit. If this impression can be created the cut rate merchant can sell unknown goods at as high a figure as his conscience will permit him to charge—and his conscience is elastic. Nearly every man's is more or less so where profits are concerned. A Bill to Protect the Public. Representative Dan V. Stephens of Nebraska and Senator William F. Ashurst of Arizona have introduced in congress "a bill to protect the public against disheasant advertising and false pretenses in merchandising." A similar measure was introduced in the last congress by Representative Stevens of New Hampshire. It ought to be axiomatic that the public cannot profit through dishonesty or through false pretenses. The individual may make a pecuniary gain thieves, burglars and confidence men occasionally escape paying the penalty of their crimes and are pecuniarily better off. But the public, the victims of the successful criminals, loses. The Stephens-Ashurst bill provides for standard and uniform prices on articles sold under a trademark or special brand, with the widest possible publicity for buyers and sellers. Opportunities of the bill—adherents of dishonest advertising and users of false pretenses in merchandising—have declared that it will encourage monopoly and prevent competition. They have tried to make consumers believe that it will increase the cost of living, that it will raise the price of everything sold in any sort of store. No Monopoly Possible. The bill does not encourage monopoly, because producers who have a monopoly of any particular line or who make an agreement with a competitor to maintain prices are barred from taking advantage of the privilege of preventing discrimination by contracting for the resale of their goods at uniform prices. A monopoly, no matter how it is gained, cannot do business under the terms of the Stephens bill. On the other hand, cutthroat competition in price has always been the chief weapon of monopoly. The bill will not raise prices and increase the cost of living. Producers already have the right to sell their goods at wholesale at any price they can get, at what they are worth. The proposed legislation merely permits the producer to control the retail price, and if he puts this too high-bigger than the public is willing to pay—then his goods will not be sold and he loses. The cut price storekeeper that sells goods at a loss does not stand the loss; he passes it on to his customers. What he loses on one article is made up, or more than made up, on another. The use of cut prices on standard articles for the purpose of drawing customers into the store with the intention of selling them something else, that is where "dishonest advertising" is found and where "false pretenses in merchandising" injures the public. Cut rates by big department stores enable them to kill off the small store and the small towns. Those residents of rural communities, villages and the lesser cities who want to see their home folks injured that the large cities may grow richer and larger should naturally oppose the Stephens bill. Those who desire to see their own vicissitudes prosper should support the principle of uniform standard prices. to wait, before doing anything, until there is a particularly aggravating murder of some white person of prominence in that vicinity and as a direct result of this a mob surges up that street killing, wrecking and injuring indiscriminately like it did in Springfield, twice in recent years. We have four or five churches in and near Central Ave. every one of which would doubtlessly be harmed if indeed they were not total destroyed. The finer the burden the quicker it would be able to target by such a mob. Here is where a little "preparedness" is needed, locally, and by our people. WAKE UP! MINISTERS!

Allen Wadsworth Washington, a graduate and for years assistant to Maj. R. R. Moton as commander of cadets, has been appointed to succeed Major Moton. After having been identified with the institute as student and officer for 31 years, Major Moton left Hampton, Ya., for Tuskegee, Al., where he was installed as principal on May 28. At the forty-eighth anniversary exercises, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal, presented to the board of trustees a total of 159 candidates for diplomas and certificates. Of these, 69 young men received certificates from the various departments of the agricultural and trade schools, and 49 men and 43 women received diplomas from the academy school. Twelve of the men and all of the women also were candidates for state teachers' certificates. Several of the graduating class gave short accounts of their work. The National Home association, of which Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York is the president, held its second annual meeting at Hampton, all six of the constituent associations being represented. This organization insures the permanency of the annual trip to Hampton at this time for several years. Mr. Trowbridge was personally responsible for organizing these special parties. He and the other officers of the National association were re-elected. Trustees and visitors to the institute have commented most favorably on the tone of the annual report which Doctor Frissell has submitted to the board. It is said to be one of the most encouraging in some years. In the report Doctor Frissell reviews the work of the institution's most distinguished graduate, Doctor Washington, who labored for the economic emancipation of the Negro. Of the appointment of Major Moton to succeed Doctor Washington as head of Tuskegee school, Doctor Frissell says: "It was a matter of pride and congratulation to the friends of Hampton that the trustees of the Tuskegee school should have chosen as Doctor Washington's successor to the most important position which a Negro can occupy in this country, if not in the world, a man whose entire school education was received in the same institution from which his predecessor was graduated." Major Moton's speeches made in the North are quoted for three things for which he is especially thankful to Hampton: "It has helped his people to an appreciation of the dignity of the labor of the hands. It has helped whites and blacks to work together in harmony and mutual usefulness by offering a platform where they can come together for discussion of their difficulties. It has helped to create in the Negro respect for his own race." First steps toward the establishment of a Negro college in the city were taken at an educational rally of the Baptist convention (colored) at the city auditorium at Houston, Tex. A fund of $500 was raised at the rally, and it was expected that additional contributions at the various colored churches Sunday night would bring this up to $1,000. A number of speakers, including Mayor Ben Campbell, P. W. Horn, superintendent of schools, and Dr. J. L. Gross, pastor of the First Baptist church, appeared on the program for the rally at the auditorium and ex Attention has been called to the fact that congress, while increasing the army, is not providing for a single additional Negro regiment. Further, it is said the war department holds it cannot designee such a regiment without congressional authority. This is calculated to make Brigadier General Andrew Sheridan Burt, so long colonel of the Twenty-fifth infantry; Gen, Guy V. Henry, colonel of the famous Ninth cavalry; Lieut Gen, Henry C. Corbin, Col. Aaron Daggett, and other noted soldiers who have commanded "the colored troops who fought nobly," turn over in their graves. Take them by and large, no commands ever assembled under the United States flag have better records than the Negro regiments, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. For loyalty, discipline, bravery, soldierly pride and fighting ability they are unexcelled. Congress has not covered itself with glory in this important army business.

E. H. Branch presided at the meeting. "If progress is to be made by the colored race," said Mayor Campbell in the course of his address, "they must begin with the schools. Money spent on the public schools will come back to the donors with compound interest. You can be sure that you can use neither your time nor your money to better advantage than in educating your children, and the city of Houston will be glad to assist you in the undertaking in any way possible." More than 500 women bearing a petition several hundred feet long and containing over 5,000 names invaded the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Philadelphia. The demonstration was under the auspices of the Women's Parent Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president, and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. S. G. Simmons, president, and the object was to memorialize the general conference to allow the women to send their money direct to the mission fields instead of sending it to the missionary board for distribution. They charge that on account of the present plan of procedure there is a falling off in their receipts and they wish to avoid this by sending the money direct. The matter was referred to a special committee. Here is an estimate of vessels withdrawn from this country's commerce since the beginning of the European war: German and Austrian ships interned throughout the world, 3,024 ships, 6,633,000 tons; British ships requisitioned, 2,300 ships, tonnage not known; Russian ships requisitioned, number unknown, but about 900,000 tons. No reliable figures can be gained about the French and Italian ships taken for war use, but the number is known to be large. Perhaps the total number of ships lost to trade is 7,000. To this must be added the vast number that has been sent to the bottom since the war began, about which no figures are obtainable now. An organization has been formed, and plans are being perfected by some of the most prominent colored physicians of Norfolk, Va., and their white friends to build in the Virginia hills near Washington, an extensive tuberculosis hospital where poor patients may receive treatment without pay. It is the purpose of the association to co-operate with health commissions and officials in every way possible to stamp out or modify the disease in the race.

No one can make such a succulent dish out of a few left overs as a cook in France, and the absence of new fabrics could never seriously affect the artistic ingenuity of a French designer. But the designers have not attempted to introduce organie with anything so insignificant as a kerchief; they have converted it into the top part of dance frocks for the evening, combining it with silk net and lace and always adding a bunch of roses.

Lafayette, in Paris, with the introduction of blouses, collars and chemisettes of colored organdie. Whoever the originator, however, America caught the idea in the beginning, and our shops have offered these bits of colored organdie for three months or more. The new fashion is to have a whole gown of colored organdie. Watermelon pink, sky blue, canary yellow and orchid are the four shades that are most fashionable. This does not mean that white organdie is not in fashion, but it shares its pinnacle with its sisters of color. It may not appeal to the majority of women as a novelty, and they may count the cost of it, but it is quite probable that they will accept it. In the old days it was extensively used, especially when White Sulphur and Saratoga were at the height of their glory. There were always gowns of white organdie, several of them, worn by the young girls who danced all day and all night—for the critics who deplore the modern tendency toward dancing would do well to look back to the social history of a quarter of a century ago; then, because the nights were not long enough, there were germanes every morning at eleven o'clock. Among all these new gowns one sees here and there the elaborate kerchief of other days. It is sometimes made of batiste, and again of fine cotton net and lace. The sketch given today is a model from Lelong of Paris, who has had quite a success with his clothes in the last two seasons, possibly because new blood was infused into a conservative house by Premet's premiere, Heuriette; at least she has brought to that house a number of American buyers who are circulating Lelong's models throughout the country. This frock is a pale-colored organdie, with a slightly full skirt trimmed with lace and a bodice that looks as though it might have been worn in the former gay days of White Sulphur. The immense kerchief is made of silk net and lace, the slightly V opening in front held by a brooch. The sleeves are flat and small at the shoulders, and flare out into a large elbow puff that is confined in a tight wristlet. GIVE CARE TO COMPLEXION Simple Precautions That Are Needed sary When One Is on Long or Short Journey. When you start on your journey, use your complexion brush well, then rub cold cream into the skin, and powder lightly. This will protect the skin from chapping. During the day do not use water and soap on the face—with the cinders and dust, it is too drying. Instead, carry a number of little three or four-inch cheesecloth squares, and, when the face needs refreshing or Rich Materials. Materials rich and beautiful have appeared in abundance in all the shops. Taffetta in numberless varieties, plain or shot or strenued with gold and silver embroidered flower bouquets; faille with satin spots or broad stripes and satin broaches and wonderful limitations of the materials of past centuries. These textures are always connected with filmy materials: tulle, chiffon and shadow lace. There is also a host of new newtimmings, of which silver is given the leading role. There is lace, embroidery, ribbon and dainty flowers—all of silver, producing the daintiest effect on a white, black, brown, rose-colored or pale green silk. Apart from this one notes metallic gold trimming, rhinstones and crystal beads, which give the effect of dewdrops. There are also jewelled shoulder straps, embroidered motifs and tassels. Suits. The retail demand for sports suits has opened up very strong in numerous centers and is reflected in new designs. The suits especially favored are the suits with cleaning, smear it with cold cream and go over it carefully with a cheesecloth square, wiping off cream and dirt together. When the face is perfectly clean, the ears carefully wiped out, the eyebrows and lashes brushed free from dust with your tiny eyebrow brush, the nostrils wiped out, then dust on powder again, and you will look as clean as can be. The cream and powder act as a protection to the skin. At night, go to the dressing room, take off all your clothes, just as you would at home, slip on your nightgown and kimono or Pullman robe, and get out complexion brush and your own soap. Notice I say "your own soap." Nothing is worse for the skin than changing from one soap to another. Scrub your face thoroughly as you would at home, and rub in cold cream. In the morning wash with tepid water. If warm water is not obtainable, sponge off with a solution half alcohol and half water, before applying cream and powder.—Mother's Magazine. NORMAL WAISTLINE TO STAY Fashion's Decrees Not Likely to Effect Any Important Changes In This Regard. Naturally the corsage shows many variations, while the normal waistline has evidently come to stay. Neckwear is simpler than heretofore, but there are signs on the horizon that with the advent of the warmer weather it will be slightly more decollete. Women have never taken kindly to the high neckband after the freedom they have enjoyed in this respect. Multiple cape effects are in harmony with the accepted silhouette. Not only are some of the new coats at the back a series of capes, but the same effect is introduced on the skirt by the aid of flouces. The front views of these dresses give no intimation of the fascination of the back, as they are innocent of the capes. Sometimes the coat fastens high at the neck with two buttons and turnover collar. The skirts have a panel front, from the sides of which spring a flaring box plait. The lower portion of the sleeves when they are of the bell character below the elbow, is composed of three superimposed frills, which bear a striking resemblance to the capes at the back. FOR THE BEACH. FOR THE BEACH. Captivating beach costume of blue tafeta trimmed with old rose crepe in a most tasteful manner. No bathing costume will be complete this summer unless the rubber shawl, an innovation in beach costumes, and the rubber pillow are a part. The hat is also most singular in appearance. Bead Chain That Won't Break. Those who have been annoyed by having their bead chains break will be interested to know that a violin string makes a very good chain for stringing beads. It will stand a great amount of wear and tear and will practically last forever. Sports Coats Are Long Sports coats reach to the knees. Many of them are finished at the bottom with a wide hem turned up and caught to the coat by groups of buttons. pockets that are belted in some form orother. Orders for silk suits continue large and numerous. Most of these suits are made with short, flared sleeves, but in a number of the most recent models the coat reaches to the knees and even below that point. The scarcity of silks is becoming more and more pronounced. In many cases, retailers are having success with strictly tailored suits suitable for mature women. Those that are fitting above the waist with a flare below that point are particularly good. Complexion Aids. The girl with a blotchy skin would be greatly benefited by taking the juice of a lemon squeezed into a glass of hot water. Fruit acids are almost magical in their effects upon the complexion if taken properly. When the skin shows signs of a sallow, thick look, or angry red spots not coming from sunburn but from some internal complaint, phosphate of soda—one teaspoonful to a glass of very hot water taken before breakfast will cure the condition. This is to be taken until the skin clears. GOOD JOKES In His Pilot Days Old pilots of that day remembered Samuel Clemens as a slender, fine-looking man, well-dressed, even dandid, generally wearing blue serge, with fancy shirts, white duck trousers and patent leather shoes. A pilot could do that, for his surroundings were speckless, says Albert Bigelow Paine in St. Nicholas. The pilots regarded him as a great reader—a student of history, travel's and the sciences. In the association rooms they often saw him poring over serious books. He began the study of French one day in New Orleans when he discovered a school of languages where French, German and Italian were taught, one in each of three rooms. The price was $25 for one language, or three for $50. The student was provided with a set of conversation cards of each, and was supposed to walk from one apartment to another, changing his nationality at each threshold. The young pilot, with his usual enthusiasm, invested in all three languages, but after a few round trips decided that French would do. He did not return to the school, but kept the cards and added textbooks. He studied faithfully when off watch and in port, and his old river notebook, still preserved, contains a number of advanced exercises neatly written out. POULTRY NOTES Do not be continually disturbing the sitting hen or turkey, or duck or goose, but leave them pretty much to themselves and they will make a better job of hatching. Turkey roosts should be located toward the roof, allowing only ample space for the birds to stand erect. Don't be afraid of overfeeding the ducks. They should be fed four or five times a day. Good water is a necessity at all times in the poultry yard, and don't forget the loose, dry earth for the dust bath. Ducklings and goslings should never be allowed to swim, even in warm weather, because it will set back their growth. Be sure that the hovers in the brooders are cleaned every day and disinfected once or twice a week. After the chicks are a few days old a run out on clean green grass in the open air every fair day is necessary for their health and growth. Chicks with hens or in brooders should have ample indoor run so that they can secure plenty of exercise during bad weather. Ten turkey eggs may be set under a good five-pound hen. All portable chicken houses should be elevated to keep out the rats. Making a Room Look Cool Everybody has noticed that some houses look cooler in summer than others. Upon examination it will generally be found in the house which always looks cool and livable that for one thing there is no heavy stuffed furniture that has to be covered up each summer. No room looks cozy and comfortable with all the furniture shrouded in those tan-and-white-sipped "That was a remarkable idea of contrasts the animal painter had in his latest zoo picture."

Heinny—I should say so. He fired me. His Finish. Trotter—When I left here five years ago old Graspit was worth nearly half a million. How much has he now? Homer—Not a dollar. Trotter—What!

HUSH FOLK IN SHADOWLAND Coming of the Wonderful Winges Brownies of the Woods Is Rocky Mount The beavers had settled on the little brook that runs easterly from Mount Marcy, and built a series of dams that held a succession of ponds like a wet stairway down the valley, making a break in the forest that gave the sky a chance to see its own sweet face in the pools below. Ernest Thompson Seton writes in Scribner's. The Rose Moon was queen of the blue, and was glowing on the pine-robed mountain. The baby beaver were learning to slap with their tails, and already the chirring in high places told of young birds grown and lusty. The peace of the forest was abroad, for it was calm and cool in the waning light. And now the winged Brownies of the woods, the hush people of shadowland, came trooping down the open alpine above the beaver ponds, skimming and circling on lightning wing, catching the butterflies of the night or CAMPING TRIP BEATS HUSBAND HUNTING ON PIAZZA OF HOTEL By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY. (Copyright 1916.) young girls, under the care of a genial woman of middle age, can enjoy a season of camp life just as heartily and thoroughly as young men can. The exhilaration of outdoor life puts a wonderful amount of vim in girls even languidad disposed. There's a newness in responding to the tinn horn which means up and out at five o'clock in the morning. The camp is always pitched near a brook and the way the girls make a dash for it for their morning dip makes an experienced sprinter open his eyes with amazement. Oh, the joy of dashing and splashing the face in that cool, sparkling brook water. life with all its free, life-giving joys, letting the girls who dawdle around hotel piazas catch the weak fish who are as eagerly intent upon heiress catching. It's only within a very few years that girls have gone in for camp life during their vacations. There are a dozen good reasons to champion it. In the first place, there's no fine, expensive new wardrobe to buy. The winter's half-worn-out blue serge skirt, with a few dark shirt-waists, and the winter's thick-sleeled walking boots, a sweater and wool tam o'shanter cap, with a few needful accessories, constitute the wardrobe outfit. A crowd of happy, exuberant The girl who could only take chocolate, toast and an egg the first morning after her arrival could eat a whole chicken and all the good things that go with it after she has led the exhilarating life a week. In camps where money is not considered, a cook is taken along, but where young girls must count their pennies each girl takes her turn at getting the meals, showing how expert she is in the culinary art, and she is pleased to do it. There are marching trips to some good farmhouse every day or so, which means all the milk they can drink—gratis usually—and as many fine vegetables for a dollar or so as they can carry back with them. They are such fine, healthy, happy girls when they break camp and come home! No wonder they get, without trying, the good, sensible husbands the hotel girls angled for in vain. A Star in "The Red Circle," a Paths serial which has been one of the biggest attractions of the movie world. It is estimated that one seed of cotton, given the application of all possible care and skill, would produce 40,000,000 seeds in six years. To enable a physician to carry medicines without using a customary case a cane has been invented in which there is a tubular metal slide to hold vials. Air sirens for short distance signaling have been invented by a French man and, mounted on the masts of ships, have been heard as far away as two miles. Glass that will not splinter when broken is being made in France by pressing together under heat two sheets of glass with a sheet of coluloid between them. Don't be discouraged if your couch cover seems hopelessly soiled. It isn't ruined by any means. One girl, who expected to become a bride shortly after she received her degree at college, was saving her couch because the cedar lining was so handy for linens and frocks. But the bespotted exterior of faded green denim caused her much annoyance. A friend suggested recovering the whole thing in tones to match the girl's boudour. Now it is a charming affair in deft blue-and-white striped chintz, with a full, ruffled valance at the front, and oval pillows, made from left-over pieces of the same. The truly smart raincoat for resort service—South or North—is in white silk and white cashmere, so treated that a slight splash of mud may be sponged off with a soap-dammed rag. If you object to spending the money asked for one of these coats, you may get a rain garment entirely in white rubber. But you will not find it as comfortable as the garment in silk and rubber, nor as easy to carry about, for the latter will roll into an absurdly small case. The tulle fichu, transparent, clinging, and disclosing, through velling, the outlines of the bodice shoulder, is rather less trying than fichu or more substantial and opaque stuff, and some pretty and practical one-tone frocks of taffetta and grosgrain have such tulle fichus in the color of the frock with bordering narrow frills or ruches of the same tule. Where the color needs relieving next the face, as is often the case, a mere wisp of flesh-colored or cream tule is laid inside the colored fichu. Something there is more needful than expense. And something previous even to taste 'Tis sense. Good sense, which only is the gift of heaven. And, though no science, fairly worth the seven. If nine girls out of ten could have their way about it, no one should accuse them of going husband hunting under the pretense of leaving home for a summer outing. They would go in for a season of camp life with all its free, life-giving joys, letting the girls who dawdle around hotel piazas catch the weak fish who are as eagerly intent upon heiress catching. ```markdown ``` It's only within a very few years that girls have gone in for camp life during their vacations.

A crowd of happy, exuberant covers that many people think they must put on in June. Nor can a room look cool and home like with long bare windows. Instead of heavy lace curtains that must be washed palmstakingly each spring, stretched on a frame and put away till fall, there may be used plain hemmed or hemstitched curtains made of cheesecloth. They are as easy to wash and iron as a tea towel and they cost so little they can be easily replaced when they wear out. Window Washing Science In This Big Steel Mill There are 3,000,000 window panes in the Bethlehem Steel company's mills, and formerly these windows were washed at irregular intervals by men who worked on day wages and did whatever amount of labor they chose. Today the company has charts of all those windows and, by experiment, has determined the time and the number of men needed to wash the glass in each building. The work is standardized. The price set for washing the windows in one of the immense machine shops is $443. The work is now done on schedule, the windows are kept clean (for steel mills), and the increased light inside has a perceptible effect on production. The cost is about one-fifth what it formerly was, per unit of window space. Doctor—Well, he insisted on paying me in advance. Doctor—Well, he insisted on paying me in advance. Sparing His Pride. "Pa, why do you always send me out of the room when you and mother are about to have an argument?" is Pride. "But I'd like to know, pa." "Well, I guess it's because no man likes to accept defeat in the presence of his son." The Real Thing Paw—Faith, son, is something that will induce a bald-headed man to buy a bottle of hair restorer from a drug gist who hasn't a hair on his head. Hla Start "I hear, Miss Gladys, that your brother is ambitious to break records." "Well, he's begun practicing with the most expensive ones we bought for our Victrola." pursuing each other with shouts that to them seemed loud and boisterous, though to us they would be merely squeaks and twitters, too thin and fine for any but the sharpest ears. Somehow in order of size they came; the smallest first, the larger as the shadows deepened. Then almost at the twilight's end appeared the last and royalest of them all. Clad in its frosted sablefur, it sweoped into view on ample wings, biggest, strongest, rarest of the folk of shadowland, the kind of its kind, the chief of the winged brownies, and yet for which we blind ones have no better name than Great North Hoary bat. Darting up and down the waterway, chasing the fat moths and big game of the night, nocturna, zamia, lachnos- terna, or stripping their bodies of legs and wings to devour the soft parts in air, the great bat flew, first of the royal house to come. Sometimes skimming low over the waters, sometimes shoot- ing skyward above the trees, some- times spinning up and down, faster than any of its lesser kin. One today is worth two tomorrows.
