PHYSICIANS CLAIM TUBERCULOSIS CURES Cedar Point, O.—The fight on the American Medical association, begun in the opening session of the Ohio Eclectic Medical association's annual convention and carried into the opening sessions of the National Eclectic Medical association's 47th annual meet begun here, has been forgotten temporarily as a result of the announcement by Dr. Z Von Uriuh of New York and Dr. J. C. Mitchell of Louisville, Ky., of the discoverers claim are absolute curca for tuberculosis. Addressing the two associations Dr. Von Uriuh, who was the first to make the announcement, he had tried his serum, which he calls subcoloid inula, upon two patients who had been treated in vain by Dr Friedmann, whose turtle serum was in the limelight several years ago, and that both have been cured. He gave the formula to the assembled physicians in private. Dr. Mitchell said he had intended to refer to his discovery later on, but that inasmuch as Dr. Von Uriuh had spoken he, too, would disclose what information he had secured. He said that an acid solution upon which he had been working for several years had been tested repeatedly and had come up to the expectations not only of himself, but of fellow physicians. He hoped a little later he would be able to give the association what he termed "a sure cure for consumption that will be within the reach of everybody." The state association elected Dr. A. W. Hobby of Shelby president, succeeding Dr. H. W. Powers of Amherst. NINETY YEARS OLD, BUT SAYS HE WOULD GO TO FIGHT IF NEEDED. Sandusky, O.-William B. Haines, aged 90, is the only Mexican war veteran. The Soldiers' home. A survivor of the Mexican and Civil conflicts, Haines follows with keen interest the progress of our forces in Mexico. He is still erect and spry in spite of the hardships of two wars. "Sure I would go to war and fight if I was needed. It's the best job a man can have," said Haines. "Railroads will change the warfare methods if we enter Mexico. When we went into the sandhills of Mexico in '48 we marched from the states to the border," says Haines. Offers Men for Mexican Duty Others men for Mexico duty. Wheeling, W. Va. — The services of the members of the uniform rank of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, in the event of war with Mexico, have been tendered Secretary of War Newton D.

NOTABLE YEAR AT TRAINING SCHOOL Institution For Women and Girls Scores Big Success. MUCH GOOD AGGOMPLISHED Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., Delivers Inspiring Commencement Address to Vast Throng—Many Contributors to Annual Prize Fund. Bust of Lincoln Unveiled. Washington.—The National Training School For Women and Girls on Lincoln heights in this city closed the best session in the history of the institution the early part of June. Mr. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., delivered the address to the graduates. A message from a man who has achieved so much in a few years was a source of great inspiration to the students and the host of friends who witnessed the closing exercises. Sixteen years ago Mr. Terry went to Brockton with 15 cents in his pocket. He worked at odd jobs until he secured work in a shoe factory for a dollar a day. He was soon raised to $30 a week, saved his money and purchased a home, then went into the real estate business. He is now paying taxes on over half a million dollars' worth of property and is easily the wealthiest colored man in the north. Mr. Terry lives on Belmont avenue, adjoining the residence of ex-Governor MISS N. H. BURROUGHS, A. M. Douglas, and is respected by men in all walks of life. He is intensely interested in Christian work and gives liberally for its advancement. He is a young man with a head full of common sense. His address was an eloquent appeal to the young women to give themselves to the task of building a race from the bottom by putting first things first and never allowing an opportunity to slip to better their condition. He urged them never to be satisfied unless they were making real progress. The baccalaureate sermon Sunday was a masterful effort and was delivered by the Rev. J. M. Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church in this city. The day before the commencement was Field day, on which the bust of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled, the Rev. W. H. Moses, the eloquent divine and matchless orator, was the speaker on this occasion. He spoke on "Lessons From the Life of Abraham Lincoln." Every department in the institution was represented when class legacies were presented. Amidst speeches, songs and yells, the young women delighted the great audience that assembled to witness the dedicatory exercises and Field day program. Work was on exhibition that showed with what skill and efficiency the institution is carrying forward its practical program. Only those who were present can get even a faint idea of the inspiration that pervaded the very atmosphere when students from twenty-seven states and two foreign countries marched on the platform to take part in the closing exercises. The setting was too beautiful for pen to describe. Under the spreading oaks, surrounded by growing flowers and plants of every description, in the presence of a distinguished audience, the high note of the best commencement in the history of the institution was struck in the "Welcome Song." Each number that followed was the best. The presentation of prizes is always a source of inspiration and encouragement. Those who received them were: Normal, fourth, Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; third, Miss Lillian Carter, Virginia; second, Miss Carrie Pettipher, North Carolina; first, Miss Louise Reid, Jamaica. Preference: First, Miss Marle Smith, Maryland; second, Miss Hilda Davis, Washington; primary, Miss Edith Davis, Washington. Champion speller, primary, Miss Edith Davis; first preparatory, Miss Hilda Davis; normal, Miss Marle De Ancy, New York. Trades: Missionary training, Miss Louise Reid, Jamaica; domestic science, Miss Alice Alexis, Haiti; dressmaking, Miss Robena Daniels, neatest, Miss Robena Danielle, Georgia; most exemplary, Miss Gertrude Banks, Virginia; music, Miss Susie Balley, Arkansas; duties, Miss Sophronia Spikes, Texas; best kept room, Miss Gertrude Winsmore, Washington; Miss Susie Adams, New Jersey; and Miss Mélie Morris, Alabama. Each year a number of friends contribute to the annual prize fund. The 1916 prize contributions were as follows Miss Ida Plummer, Washington, $2.50 W. A. Dulguid, Washington, $2.50 Florida Avenue Baptist church, per Rev W. A. Taylor, pastor, $2.50 National Training School board, per Mrs M. E. Cabanis, chairman, $5; Susman Cockhill court, per Mrs. J. A Le C. $5; Miss Jennie L. Fekk, $2.50 a friend, $2.50 Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, 12 books for library; Young People's society, Mount Zion Baptist church, O. P. Thompson, pastor, $2.50; Mrs Charlotte Marshall, $2.50; Mv. V. A. Johnson, $5; Pleasant Goode, $5; Rev A. C. Powell, $2.50; Mrs. Katherine Carey, $3; Mrs. Rebecca Kane, $2.50 Rev L. G. Jordan, $2.50 W. O. Wilmer, $2.50 Perhaps one of the best evidences of love and loyalty on the part of the students and members of the faculty was shown in the report of contributions made during the year. They were as follows; Domestic science, $207.78 hairdressing, $7.45; emergency bath, per Miss Alexander, $10.65; missionary training class, per Miss Wanzer, $8.60; advanced class domestic science, per Miss Coleman and Davidson, 6.36 missionary training, $6.83; temperance society, per Mrs. B.

With the singing of the "Farewell Song," the national Training school, of which the gifted Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, A. M., is president, closed the best year in its history. Miss Burroughs is going to devote the entire summer in trying to secure means to enlarge the plant. Applications are coming in every day, and the management is already assured that the attendance for the coming term is to be very large. Miss Burroughs awarded diplomas and certificates to the following named graduates: Diplomas - Normal, Mrs. Bettie B. Reed, Louisiana; Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; Commercial, Miss Maniettle R. J. Hacos, Texas; dressmaking, Miss Robena McKinley, Georgia; Certificates - Missionary training, Miss M. Leuise Reid, Jamaica; Miss Christine Jean Francois, Haiti; domestic science, Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; Miss Ella Davidson, Tennessee; Miss Alice Pierre Alexis, Hawaii; dressmaking, Miss Ritch Barlow, Virginia, and Miss Ester Hinton, Maryland. PORTRAIT BY DARIUS COBB Venerable Boston Artist Paints Remarkable Likeness of Dr. Scarborough. With the exception of the picture of Christ entitled "The Master," no painting from the brush of Darlin Cobb the noted Boston artist, has perhaps apurposed greater interest than the portrait which Mr. Cobb recently completed for Professor William Saunders Scarborough, the widely known and popular president of Wilberforce university. The painting is an exact likeness of Dr. Scarborough and takes rank among the best works produced by the experience and skill of the venerable artist. That there will be numerous demands for the portrait of Dr. Scarborough has already been indicated from various sources. Besides his scholarly attainments and splendid executive ability as a college president, Dr. Scarborough is a genius at getting the best results from all departments of work at Wilberforce. The results shown at the fifty-third annual commencement exercises which closed the week ending June 17 bear out the above assertion to the letter. Wilberforce university is advancing along all lines. No wonder the state of Ohio and the great African Methodist Episcopal church are proud of its remarkable growth and achievements, and yet the heart of its president years for a greater Wilberforce. GEORGIA'S BIG PROBLEM. State Enacts Prohibition Law to Wipe Out the Liquor Traffic. Georgia has passed a new prohibition law, and efforts are being made to have the provisions of the measure enforced. Business and professional men, ministers and leaders along all lines of industry are asked to aid in wiping out the liquor traffic in the state. The "blind tiger" method of securing strong drink and distributing it to households is being closely watched. One of the able leaders among our people who are urging members of the race who may be addicted to strong drink to leave it alone and save their money and put it to better use is the Rev. H. H. Proctor, a Congregational minister. It is said that strong drink is the cause of nine-tenths of the crimes committed in the state and that mobs of lynchers are surcharged and inspired by strong drink when about their evil work of lynching human beings. Whether the accused is guilty or innocent is not taken into consideration. The lynching habit is one of the black spots in the records of the state. The disregard for law and the well being of the citizens of the state by lynching mobs should be promptly supressed by the officials of the state and in the various counties of the state. Lynchers should be punished, and until they are this form of outlawry will continue. Macon's Celebrate St. John's Day Masonian Celebration The Masonic fraternity of the Thematic Pennsylvania district, Pitts- bear, celebrated St. John's day with appropriate religious services at Bethel A. M. E. church on Sunday June 18. The match from Odd Fellows' hall to the church was very spectacular and witnessed by great throngs of people. POTENT FACTOR IN RACE THRIFT Prosperous Year For School at Normal, Ala. CHARLES STEWART SPEAKS Agricultural and Mechanical College Founded by the Late William H. Council Receives Warm Support From Both Races—Institution Makes Splendid Headway. Normal, Ala.—That the late William H. Council, founder of the Agricultural and Mechanical college here, lives in the hearts of the people was shown by the results of the fine commencement recently held in the institution. at which Charles Stewart of Chicago, was the commencement speaker. A large W. S. BUCHANAN. number of white friends of the late educator were present, including Miss Grace T. Walker, secretary to the McCormicks. For the past forty-one years this institution has been an important factor in racial development, and its former standard is kept up by the new president, Professor Walter S. Buchanan. The school was made famous by the late Mr. Council. He put his life and all of his money into the institution and preached the doctrine of peace and good will, and upheld the idea of industrial as well as college education. His principles, in all essentials, embraced those things that represented the greatest good for the country through an amicable adjustment of all race matters. Professor Walter S. Buchanan, who is now the president of Normal, have been elected at the death of President Councill, is a representative of the younger men and advanced thought and ideas which he is putting into Normal and making it one of the greatest institutions in the south. This young man is one of the best trained men of his race and has been educated to his people and not away from them. He is perhaps the youngest president of an A. and M. college in the country, but he is making good and lifting up the young people. His own life and struggles are inspirations to them. He is a product of Tuskegee institute. It was at Tuskegee that he got his foundation, being inspired by the late Booker T. Washington, to be and do something worth while. He got the finishing touches of his education at Lloyd Training school, Boston, and at Harvard university. Coming out of school, he accepted the position as southern agent for Tuskegee institute, and from there was elected president of an industrial school at Corona, Ala., where he did a great big work. When President Councill died Professor Buchanan was selected out of many applicants for the position of president of the A. and M. college, although there were many men older than he who had more experience, but the board of control, composed of southern white men, saw in Mr. Buchanan the man needed for the place. Like his predecessor, President Buchanan is thoroughly wedded to the industrial idea and is struggling to make Normal stand more for industrial education than ever before and at the same time for higher education, for there were five to graduate from the college department this year. Theoretical and practical training are combined in the very important branches of horticulture, truck farming, fruit growing, stock raising and dairy farming. Domestic science and domestic arts receive special attention. The girls as well as the boys graduating from the industrial course must not only have the theory, but they must be prepared to do the actual work. They must be able to go into the shop, if a blacksmith, and make a horsehoe, adjust it to the horse's hoof; go into the kitchen, cook and serve a meal, do any kind of sewing, clean and adjust the furniture in a house, serve a meal, etc. His wife, Mrs. Ida Christine Council Buchanan, daughter of the late W. H. Council, is one of the best trained musicians in the race. She is well posted on the work at Normal and is putting her life into the work started by her father and now presided over by her husband. Plans are being perfected for a more extensive work at this school for the 1916-17 term. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION OPENS G. O. P. Meeting Is Called to Order by State Chairman W. L. Parmenter. COLE SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE Praises Willis' Administration and Predicts Victory for Party; Says 'If War Comes, We Will Stand by President.' Columbus, O.—Being inspired by the belief that victory is in the air, the Republican state convention at its opening session was marked by the greatest enthusiasm. Thrilled by the burning eloquence of the masterful "keynote" address of the temporary chairman, Ralph D. Cole, delegates and spectators sprang to their feet time after time in greeting the speaker with applause. Calls Convention to Order. State Chairman W. L. Parmenter said in calling the convention to order there was every prospect of victory in November, and he was "delighted" to say the party was again united and harmonious. Frank B. Willis would be re-elected brought the first big applause. He introduced Ralph D. Cole as a man who had done much for the party and whom he hoped would some day come into his own for the work he had done. After reading a message from Senator Harding, Mr. Cole expressed his deep gratification that the reunited party was again ready for the fray. He praised liberally Republican state officers. The administration in Ohio has made good. It has redeemed the pledges embodied in its platform. Its promises have given effective administration, and it has been tried in the exercise of power. The legislature has been true to its mission, responsive to its duty. The governor has fought a good fight, has kept the faltering re-elected by an overwhelming majority. The governor co-operated with the general assembly in the performance of its work, but did not trespass upon the conventions of 1814. It respected the limitations fixed by law for his official action. Every substantial promise embodied in the 1814 law has been redeemed. Economy and officious forces forced in all departments of the government. If the Republican party is retained in power in the state, these policies will be maintained in the coming administra- Sees Victory in November. The national convention laid the foundation of sweeping triumph in November. It gave free and untrammed expression to the voice of America. There was no machine at Chicago; no coar to give or remove candidates; no made candidates. The delegates were moved by resolution determination to register the public will. They were inspired by the same patriotic spirit that led to the nomination of Abraham Lincoln in 1861. Buchanan who lowered the standard of his country. The Lincoln of this campaign is the man of exited character and unsuiled Americanism—Charles E. Hinton. The purpose of the present campaign is to reinstitute the Republican party in power; thereby to insure sound economic and fiscal policies; to re-establish the American industry, to remake prosperity, not sectional, but universal; not temporary, but permanent; not founded on the gloom of war, but the sunshine of peace; and to represent the republic among the nations of the world. The army and navy have been called out to protect our rights in Mexico. We approve of that action. If war comes, we will stand with and behind the president in the protection of American rights. Free Girl of Murder Charge Philadelphia, Pa.-Ida Riehl, aged 18, was acquitted of a charge of murdering her sweetheart, Edmund Haupt-fuhrer, in May, 1915, when he spurned her entreaties to marry her. The jury returned a verdict after deliberating for less than an hour. While the defense based its case on a plea of temporary insanity, it virtually involved the unwritten law. During the trial, which lasted but one day, deep sympathy for the young woman was displayed by spectators and jurymen. THE WELCOME THE HONOR THE PRESENT KILLED IN CLASH WITH MEXICANS Report Seventeen American Soldiers Slain in Encounter With Carranzistas. TROOPS WERE AMBUSHED Were Fired Upon While Passing What Was Believed a Deserted Village; Mexican Gen. Gomez Killed; 40 Americans Prisoners. El Paso, Tex.—A squadron of the 10th cavalry (colored) was ambushed by Carramista troops under Gen. Felix Gomez at Carrizal, 15 miles west of Villa Ahumada, early Wednesday. In the face of a withering machine gun fire, the American troops dismounted, deployed and charged the Mexicans, who were shielded by a row of adobe houses. Notwithstanding the great advantage the Mexicans held in both position and numbers, Gen. Gomez was killed during the first few minutes of the fighting. A number of Mexican soldiers were also killed and a still larger number wounded. Say 17 Americans Were Killed. The Mexicans say 17 Americans were killed and 40 taken prisoners, but these figures are from Mexican sources. The official Mexican statement announced that the 40 American prisoners had been loaded into a train at Villa Ahumada with the Mexican wounded and taken to Chihuahua City. The body of Gen. Gomez was also taken to Chihuahua for burial. The troops of Gen. Gomez were those which the American squadron sighted on Tuesday. During the night of Tuesday the Mexicans took refuge in the village of Carrizal, keeping under cover after daylight so as to hide any signs of life. Carrisal was known by the Americans to be a deserted village. It has not been occupied since the Orozo campaign of several years ago. When the march in the direction of Villa Ahumada was resumed the American commander is believed to have taken for granted the Mexicans had retired under cover of darkness. The route followed by the Americans carried them within a few hundred yards of the outlying row of houses. The first that was known of the presence of the Mexicans was when a volley of shots was fired into the ranks without warning. This sudden attack was followed by machine gun fire. The country about the town for 12 miles in every direction is an open desert prairie, with not even shrubbery that afforded protection. Under these conditions the Americans charged again and again during a period of two hours' fighting, after which both sides stopped to look after their wounded. Troopers Were Trapped. This version of the engagement, which is believed to be the most accurate that has reached the border, was brought to El Paso by an American refugee who arrived in El Paso from Chihuahua. This informant said: "The train in which I made the trip to the border passed Villa Ahumada a few minutes after noon. I saw a number of American prisoners, but I couldn't count them, as I did not dare leave the car. I saw the body of a Mexican officer and a number of wounded Mexican soldiers. I was told they were all, including the Americans, to be taken to Chihuahua City. From what I could gather from the excited talk of the Mexicans, they trapped the Americans and killed or wounded a number of the troopers before they had a chance to defend themselves or offer resistance." Gen. Pershing has seized the Mexican towns of Nueva Casas Grandes and Casas Grandes. This information has been received by both military and state department officials here. The Mexican soldiers and civilians were disarmed. Both towns are under martial law. San Antonio, Tex.—Gen. Funston said no orders would be issued to Gen. Pershing or to Gen. Bell until he had received an official report from Gen. Pershing. Gen. Bell learned that the Mexicans believed the American force to have been a detachment of the 10th cavalry. Admit Austrian Defeat Amsterdam. Holland—Berlin dispatches admit that the Russian soldiers, despite desperate resistance by the rear guard of the retreating Austrian army, have crossed the River Sereth. Rome reports Italian Alpine troops, in the midst of a heavy storm, captured a strong Austrian position southwest of Monte Purche. The battle about Verdun is practically at a standstill, according to reports from both Paris and Berlin. Die in Arms Plant Fire. Parry Sound, Ont., Canada. —At least five workmen were killed and 20 seriously injured here in an explosion followed by fire in the plant of the Canadian Explosives, Ltd. The explosion occurred in a shrapnel factory, housed in a large building, which was destroyed. The cause of the explosion was unknown. About 70 men were at work in the building at the time. The majority of the workmen escaped in time, but others were either killed or injured by the explosion. The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year. $1.50.

Every one of our publications should contribute one dollar to a "Press Testimonial Fund" for Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, who is ill in a Boston hospital and in need of funds. We suggested this in our last issue and stand ready to head such a fund with our dollar. At least two hundred dollars, and possibly three hundred dollars can be raked easily and quickly, too, for a deserving member of the race press. Editor J. R. Clifford, of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, dean of the Afro-American editorial corps, should take charge of this matter if our good friend Editor John Mitchell, of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, does not do so promptly. Differences of opinion of all kinds should disappear when sickness of the kind Editor Trotter is contending with takes hold of a member of the "press gang." Let us do our DUTY toward one another regardless of all else. WILLING TO QUIT FOR FORAKER! A few weeks ago, Harry Probusco, Esq, of Cincinnati, sent the following telegram to the other candidates for U. S. senator in this state, Messrs. Herrick, Dick, Daugherty and Woodmanse: "Senator J. B. Foraker is the foremost American in Ohio and as a soldier, has a statesman and as a jurist no superior in the state. Now is the time when Ohio should send its best-equipped republican to the U. S. senate. As a candidate for senator I beg to suggest that all candidates for the senate withdraw in favor of Senator Foraker under condition that he will qualify as a candidate. Will you wire your acquiescence at once? I am sending this on my own initiative and in the interests of the common good." As a soldier, statesman and jurist, Senator Foraker has no EQUAL or superior in Ohio. Then, too, there is no republican in this state as deserving of the honor. Mr. Probasco has made many friends by his expression of a willingness to withdraw from the race if the other candidates would also do so, even if his offer has not been accepted by the other candidates. WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? Theodore Roosevelt, when president of the United States, practically lynched an entire battalion of Colored troops, and in 1812 he kicked the southern Colored delegates out of his Progressive national conventions. Yet last week at Chicago some Colored men so lost their sense of decency and honor that they held public meetings and passed resolutions calling on the Colored delegates to vote for Roosevelt, "for the success of the party and the safety of the country!"—St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. What about Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt's Scribner Magazine article, Brother Adams, at the close of the Spanish-American war, accusing the Afro-American soldiers of cowardice who saved his and his "Rough Riders" lives in Cuba during the progress of that war? And the recent A. M. E. general conference's invitation to him to address it? The Afro-American delegates to the recent Republican National convention and the members of the A. M. E. general conference, as well as those Chicago Afro-Americans, are members of the race above the average in point of intelligence, too! GOOD LORD! HAVE MERCY! Whither we are drifting? A SECOND WARNING! Our ministers and other good people of this city cannot afford to "sit supinely by" and see the newcomers from the south and others of our people in the Central Ave. section of the city, cut, stab, shoot and beat one another to death like they were doing, the first of this week, without some effort being made to improve the sad conditions existing there and made infinitely worse by the great influx of recent weeks. Again we warn them that further delay in DOING SOME THING to improve conditions in that district is dangerous, VERY DANGEROUS! We repeat: It is posi- tively criminal negligence 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 undoubtedly be harmed if indeed they were not totally destroyed. The finer the church, the quicker it would be made a target by such a mob. Here is where a little "preparedness" is needed, locally, and by our people. WAR INCREASES INCOMES. Our war order prosperity has created another source of jubilation for the Democratic administration. As foretoa by the Republicans some time ago, huge exports of war munitions to Europe have so increased the incomes of stockholders that a large increase over the estimated revenues from the income tax is looked for this year. The administration is using this to becloud the tariff issue, and not a reference is made to the Underwood tariff law as a failure in collecting revenues at the ports. The income tax will pay some $20,000,000 more than was estimated. But the voters of the country will not be fooled by this state of affairs. The tariff tax is paid by the foreigner. The Democrats have given up their thread, bare argument that the protective tariff affects the cost of living. The income tax and the "war tax" are direct taxes paid out of the pockets of our own people, and the increase over the estimated sum, caused by the war, is temporary in its nature. Should the cessation of war find us still laboring under a Democratic tariff law, competition from abroad would so diminish incomes that the income tax collections would fall far short of any estimate heretofore made by the proposes of the tax. In addition to this, the huge percentage of duty-free goods would still further reduce the revenues. That is exactly what was hapening before the war broke out. The man who permits the Democratic party to use this war-order prosperity to fool him, is indeed blind to his own interests. BLAME THE WILLIS ADMIN ISTRATION. Two regiments (white) and the Ninth Battalion (Afro-Americans), O. N. G. were not ordered to mobilize, but the "Ninth" has been ordered to Columbus to do the drudgery of preparing the state camp for Ohio's white soldiers ordered to mobilize and prepare for service on the border, and in Mexico, too, if it is found necessary to send them there. This is being heralded throughout the state and the country by the daily newspapers greatly to the humiliation of all the manly and womanly of the race. This treatment of our soldiers—the "Ninth"—by Gov. Frank B. Willis' boyhood playmate and Adjutant-General, Benjamin Hough of Delaware, just about makes the good red blood of every Afro-American's body boil. Thus again are our people of Ohio grossly insulted by the Willis administration. The local daily papers of Wednesday took pains to announce that when our four companies of the Ninth Battalion have finished the drudgery of preparing the state camp for the white soldiers "they will be sent back home" and not to the Mexican border where even the two white regiments not as yet ordered to mobilize will soon be sent. If there is anything calculated to cool the "soldier" ardor of the members of the Ninth Battalion, it certainly ought to be the treatment they are receiving at the hands of the Willis administration through its representative, Adjutant General Ben. Hough. On top of this comes the announcement of the killing of those 17 members of our Tenth U. S. Cavalry, the first of the week, in Mexico. Black soldiers are all right "at the front" when there is any killing imminent; it seems. Recall the death of the 25,000 Africans before Verdun, recently COLORED WOMANHOOD. For many years, this nation acciesquiesed in the lynching and maltreatment of the Colored race because it was charged that Colored men sought at every opportunity to outrage white womanhood. It was her加尔far and near that the Caucasian must protect its womanhood at any cost. Recently this charge has been refuted. However, all races glory in the honor and protection afforded their women. The most serious blow given the race of late, is the intentional insult heaped upon Mrs. Major Moton. There is no car in America where a Colored woman cannot ride if she is attired in the garment of a servant for some white person. In other words her presence is not obnoxious unless she appears as a woman among women. We must interpret the actions of the south in driving Mrs. Moton out of that Pullman car as notice to the Colored race, and especially to Major Moton, that a new era is now taking place and in this era Colored women must be made to feel that they are not WOMEN but servile creatures to be treated as any white brute sees fit. It is perfectly natural that Colored girls in Tuskegee and elsewhere will from sheer timidity shrink from attempting to enjoy what Mrs. Moton was denied. Having fixed this as the policy to be taught Colored girls and to be understood by all women of color, Pullman car service becomes a privilege that Negroes will look upon as belonging only to white womanhood. By this specie of race discrimination, it is hoped to dull the sense of self-respect in Colored women and render them satisfied with the most menial jobs. Mrs. Moton deserves to be protected by every man who has a drop of manhood in him. A race that suffers its women to be maltreated, and not resent it, is not deserving of respect. What must the Colored woman expect in this country in her attempts to be a woman? She has the right to expect at every turn such conduct toward her as should be given woman among civilized people. She has the right to ask for herself and children THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1916. every privilege that any mother should enjoy. She has the right to demand of every man, that respect and consideration due a woman, and when it is denied her she has the right to expect all true men to come to her aid and demand that it be given her, regardless of the sacrifice. In this Moton issue, the country is called upon to decide between the humane rights of Colored women on the one hand, and the senseless crusade of humiliation heaped upon her by unreasonable men of the south. White people of the country must be made to understand that they have no right to object to any person enjoying the same privileges they enjoy in public places and conveyances when this is paid for. Public carriers must be made to understand that they must ignore the foolish clamor of snobs while they are serving the public. Pullman cars are not private parlers. They are simple public accommodations for every passenger that sees fit to avail him or herself of them. The Pullman Car company should be made to understand that it must pay dearly for a failure to carry out its contract with any passenger when through any means it winks at the denial of these rights by permitting any one to enter its coaches to molest any passenger. We are aware that the conductors, on Pullman cars in the south, are generally southerners of the lowest type and in many instances are glad to have a Colored person humiliated. The iniquity of the "jimrow" cars come from the fact that southern conductors are men of the most brutal type and may be depended upon to builddze the Colored passenger. Very often the Colored porter is worse than his white conductor. Colored womanhood must meet every device to degrade her. Must she stand alone? No, not until every real Colored man is dead. The further question arises. Shall hostile southerners complete the degradation of the race by forcing upon the Colored youth a service form of education that makes it satisfied with every kind of oppression which they see fit to impose? Shall Tuskegee be the weapon by which every vestige of self-respect and pride be wiped out of the race? Must Tuskegee's existence be the price of liberty and manhood for our women and men? Must the principal of Tuskegee keep silent, when those dear to him are treated worse than animals, in order that he might live, in the south? Must she be enunciated. Major Moton must receive the support of good men of all races in taking a stand against, oppression for himself and those connected with him in that work. The humiliators of Mrs. Moton intended to serve notice on Major Moton that neither he nor his woman can expect anything but "jimrow" treatment in the south. If Major Moton had tendered his resignation to the trustees of Tuskegee Institute because he was unwilling to keep his mouth shut on such a brutal attitude toward his wife; and to speak otherwise would mean trouble with the south, this country would have come to his rescue. If the south means by this act that it intends to humiliate Major Moton and his wife and that they must accept this as his portion while he stays at Tuskegee, he should immediately resign. He or any other man accepting the principalship of that institution with the understanding that he and his wife, as well as the whole Negro race in the south, must accept without protest "jimrow" discrimination, cannot help the race. If Mrs. Moton is left to bear this humiliation without a protest coming from Tuskegee and its trustees then we say destroy Tuskegee before we destroy Negro womanhood, the mothers of our race. Between the two, we choose the womanhood and with it we shall die. Mrs. Moton must be vindicated or Tuskegee is doomed (REV.) WILLIAM A. BYRD. REPUBLICAN NAT'L CONVENTION ECHOES. That speech of Ohio's governor at the Chicago convention reminds one of the conversation between father and son. The boy wanted to know what it meant when a public man is called to the convention, to which the father replied; "It means, my son, that he is about ready to hit the toboggan." The veteran Ohio newspaper man, Geo. F. Burba, writing from Chicago during the recent Republican Nation convention, said, among other things: A bunch of cheap, ignorant, office-seeking trucklers—men without education, men without personal presence, men without anything to commend them to the great men of this country who are doing things. Peanut politics does not describe it; it is important to be aware of them to a friend you have to explain who they are—and take your friend around the corner and apologize. I have attended national conventions for 28 years, and I have never seen a weaker, more insignificant, more apologetic bunch from Ohio than is now here as representative of the great Republican party. We have been bullied and poorly conducted although Burton will have to pay a princely price for the accommodations; the Daughterboomers are a sleek lot of shake down men, the Herrick fellows are amateurs who are doing the best they can, which isn't saying anything complimentary."—Cincinnati Republican.

Ladies! call your friends' attention to our up-to-date fashion news on page 4. It is direct from Paris via New York City and Chicago. Prof. J. M. Marquess, principal of Sumner High school, Kansas City, Kan., has been elected president of Langston, Okla., University. With the appointment of Miss Eleanor Columbia Pulpress as kindergarten teacher in Grant school, Pittsburg has the first Colored teacher in its public school system. Chaplain O. J. W. Scott of the U. S. army is en route home from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, where he has been stationed with the 25th U. S., infantry. The Tulsa (Okla.) Star, which has been successfully edited by A. J. Smitherman, for several years, is now being issued as a daily. It is the only race daily newspaper in the country. The N. Y. Adjutant General's office has issued orders to members of the Council ofiment which has been authorized for the New York National Guard to appear for the physical examination preparatory to the mustering in of the regiment. A. J. Drexel Biddle, millionaire, philanthropist and society leader, has organized a Citizen Army in Philadelphia as a part of this nation's preparedness. In his army is a Colored regiment. And strange to say this regiment was recruited faster than the white's. "The Appeal" has no hesitancy in saying that if Major Moton is quoted correctly, and feels that way, that he is unit for the presidency of an institution which is designed to prepare Colored youth for life. Manhood should be the basis of all training—St. Paul Appeal. The average editor nowadays seems to be backward about expressing his honest convictions for fear of hurting some one's feelings. The people are clamoring for a appeal with the threat of R.W. Thompson. That is the secret of The Gazette's long life and success. It is THE race paper with the "punch." Hon. Harry C. Smith, the viril editor of The Cleveland Gazette, has notified M. N. Work, author of the Negro Year Book, and a special statistician on lynchings, that not a single case of lynching transpired in the state of Ohio during the year of 1915. Bully for the Buckeye State! - R. W. Thompson, Washington, D. C. Albert R. Hinton of Greenboro, N. C., has engaged the attention and interest of several Durham, N. C. capitals who will help maintain a matric tobacco machine, the result of 16 years of hard work and study. Patients have been issue for parts of it and patents for the other parts are soon to follow. The complete machine puts tobacco bag on spout or shape, weighs tobacco in bag, folds coupon and puts in bag, packs and presses bag into required shape; cancels stamp and stamps it, prints label and packs it, and covers end, packs in required number of cigarette books, then closes open end of carton and finally delivers same on table. The average Colored man complains a good deal about the lack of a certain kind of news in the Afro-American paper and that is the excuse offered by some of the big "gums" for not subscribing to the Colored papers. But after all, isn't it a fact that the little weekly Afro-American journal is the life of every community? After one of these gentlemen have read of the book, the records, the bulletin, the recitals of their people, they turn keen appreciation to the Afro-American journal which chronicles the good deeds and achievements and optimistic accounts of the Afro-American life struggles. These men and their families can then lift up their heads and believe that after all life is worth living. -Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. WORKERS, OR DRONES? Editor *Gazette*, Dear Sir:—There are people who may work for themselves, but never for others; also those who do nothing for themselves or others—idle, carless, indifferent—not alive to their own personal interests nor the interests of the race. I said to a man: Here are some copies of *The Gazette*, published by a friend in Cleveland; take them from me and read it. He replied: "No guess I don't want our folks don't keep nothin' 'bout readin'." I asked another man to subscribe for *The Gazette*. He excused himself by saying it was "too far away." He wanted a "local paper"—a county paper that would print nothing about a Colored person unless accused of some devilment. Why is it that so many of these "male drones which produce no honey are not interested in the defense of the race," he prefers to continue in ignorance and indifference in mental and moral slavery?

Abbott's, E. 96th St., Monday evening, to be regretted that the reception was not more generally known of as many who did not know of it were desirous of meeting Mrs. Talbert. Mrs. Mary A. Diehl who left the city, some months ago, for the improvement of her health, writes The Gazette from Chattanooga, Tennessee, that she is feeling much better and that she intends soon to leave for Atlantic City, N.

Our good friend of many years, Mr. Andrew McSpadden, of the East End, called on The Gazette, Wednesday afternoon to renew his subscription for the "steenth" time and pay the editor a little visit. He brought him also a beautiful bouquet of large and the most fragrant roses (from his garden) it has been our good fortune to possess in many years. Incidentally, Brother McSpadden suggested that we warn any who may be wearing G. A. R. buttons, and have not the right to do so, that there is a law that is strictly enforced against that very thing. WAR SEEMS BE INE Officials Believe Trying to For States to In WILL NOT FORCE First Attack or Serious Signal for Invasion Will Send Stern The Maschke-Davis administration's claim to credit for the appointment of 100 or more Afro-Americans to jobs, which constitute over nineteenth of all held in the garbage department by our people, is dead wrong and unfair, because they were given us under the two last democratic administrations and in total 100 percent of the jobs. This accounts for the effort to force them all into a republican organization in spite of the fact that the city charter provides for a non-partisan government of municipal affairs. The Civic (old Municipal) association ought to be informed of this fact. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor who are in Duluth, MN., attending her sister who is critically ill, expect to return to the city about Aug. 2. Mr. Taylor writes The Gazette that he has his son here that the Phyllis Wheatley "association" which operates the home in E. 40th St, by that name, it to be announced by Miss Jennie Hunter, its secretary, as a Y. W. C. A. (Jim-crow) at a banquet to be held in the basement of the John's A. M. E. church. This, if true, will be news to many but will not surprise The Gazette in the least. It will only be what we have pre-dicted from the very inception of the P. W. home. The prominent white house who promoted and have practically maintained it, did so for a PURPOSE that ought now to be clear to all. Miss Catherine Lealtad, secretary to George F. Wells, chairman of the state Prohibition committee, on Thursday received notice of her appointment as teacher of English and German at City, Mo. The institute is connected with the state normal school. Miss Lealtad was graduated from Macaulter college, a year ago, as valedictorian of the class. She completed the four-year course in three years. She graduated from Mechanic Arts high school, from which she was graduated in 1912. She is a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Lealtad, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal church - St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. Mrs. Lealtad was former Miss Ide Deaver of this city and is Mrs. Clarita Deaver of this city. Lealtad is a former rector of St. Andrew's E. church, this city. Bullets ended the lives of a man and a woman early Monday evening in an apartment at 2478 E. 29th St, and a moment later a crowd was chasing a man across E. 24th St, to Woodland Av. He made for the pool room and ran in among the players. The crowd surged after him, but between the pursuers and the fleeing man dashed Patrolman Frank Hendricks and Harry Kugler of the vice squad. Through the pool room went the man and out the back door, but there found himself cornered. The prisoner gave the name of Samuel Morrow, 25, 2618 Cedar Av. He was charged with murder, and he was removed to Court St. Anne. The man was Knighteware. Morris Hawley, 27.39, N.

This double murder was supplemented, about an hour later, the same evening, with a stabbing affair in which a gentleman from Tennessean entered into the body of another brother from the southland, near the corner of ScovillAv. and E. 33rd St. it is said. We trust that the gravity of the situation in the 11th ward, as the set forth in our last issue, can now be fully appreciated by our local ministers (and others) and that they will not lose any more time in taking steps, in addition to their immediate church work, to look out for the moral welfare of all our people in that section and prescind that we have already shown a disposition to help all they can in the matter; so now it is up to our ministers to do their part and THEIR CLEAN DUTY. NEGRO SOLDIERS PREPARING CAMP FOR OHIO'S ARMY. Ninth Battalion Rushes Preparations At Upper Arlington. Columbus, O.-The four companies of the Ninth battalion located in Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Springfield reported at the mobilization camp here today. These Afro American companies, were not in uniform, mobilized their armor, issued by the war department, but were ordered here last night by Adjutant General Hough. It is understood that they are to be used in the work of preparing the mobilization camp for the remainder of the troops who are to be mobilized on Friday. With the assistance of the Ninth battalion work progressed rapidly today on the construction of the camp. Negroes Will Return When Camp is Pitched.

WAR SEEMS TO BE INEVITABLE WILL NOT FORCE THE WAR First Attack or Serious Raid Will Be Signal for invasion in Force; Will Send Stern Note: Thousands Joining Ranks. Washington, D. C.—All the machinery of the government has been set in motion for what appears to be inevitable war with Mexico. The overwhelming mass of reports reaching the state and war departments tend to show that Carranza is determined to force the United States to intervene. After three years of indecision, it is apparent the administration realizes that only a miracle can prevent war. The protestations of "co-operation" by Carranza and his military advisers were swept aside in the light of incendiary, speeches and proclamations they are now making in an effort to incite the Mexican people to rise and drive Americans from Mexican soil. Will Not Force War on Mexico. The situation is that the United States does not intend to force war on Mexico. The army and navy will make no aggressive move on Mexican territory, but the first attempt by Mexicans to attack the American forces or the first serious border raid will be the signal for an invasion of Mexico in force that will not be brought to close until the United States has swept Mexico clean of its revolutionary factions and has set up a stable government in that republic. President Wilson's first move in putting his new Mexican policy in force will be to dispatch to Carranza a lengthy note reflecting flatly the demand for withdrawal of American troops. Not only will this note be the last word to Carranza, but it will be backed up by the army the president is mobilizing for the Mexican campaign. It will then be up to Carranza to say whether the United States shall be given a chance to exterminate the bandits which have menaced its border and repeatedly flaunted its authority, or whether by persisting in his attitude of stubborn resistance he shall force this nation into war. President Wilson has been influenced in his determined stand by the sweep of warlike sentiment throughout the country. Telegrams reaching the war department showed that the call to the national guard for service in the Mexican campaign has inspired the country with a patriotic fervor that convinces administration officials the nation is united in the conviction that national pride will brook no further acts of insult from Mexican factional leaders. To back up the note ready for transmission to Mexico City, the president has asked congress to pass legislation removing the restriction that prevents the ordering of militia onto foreign soil.

The tale is not much. Nor known in the annals of war; it was told in a breath By the fires of the camp; it was only —devicion and death. His life for the flag, like a freeman; for he was a slave. And ignorant, low In the scale of humanity's worth, as the bulk of his race; But he filled a man's place. They fled from the foe, Outnumbered and bleeding, and leaped to a boat by the shore. But it sank on the shoal; they must it away, if it bore Their number; then lo! Before they could ask "Who does it?" or soldier could spring from the sheltering side. Already a Negro was leaping. "I'll do it!" he cried, And bent to the task. "You soldiers can fight for the flag! You must all get away! Who cares if I stay?" Ah, stalwart to serve, The arms that had toiled in the cotton! He gave, to the last. The sum of his strength; for the fugitives' peril was past. For his soul did not swerve. Uncomely the clay Whereof he was fashioned—yet now, when bullets had rent A sevenfold way for the life that he gave with content, It seemed, where he lay. As if honor impartial had claimed him—to count him apart. "I am inclined to think that the mind of the Negro has been too long centered on himself," declared Prof. I. M. Terrell in an address delivered at Houston, Tex. "He has been disposed to determine the worth or worthiness of a movement by the direct good he was to derive from it. We can no longer afford to measure the value of things in terms of our own direct benefits. So long as we continue to do this, we may never hope to be counted in fact a part of this great country; nor can we expect to demand and receive equal rights and privileges. An individual or race that falls in the performance of duty forfeits all claims to any rights, for duty is paramount to all rights. And you may be assured if you perform your duty, your rights and privileges will follow. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to live the fullest possible lives; to be of the greatest use to the community in which we happen to live and to the state and country at large. It is our duty to take advantage of every opportunity to improve ourselves to the end that society generally will feel us less and less a burden or liability and more and more an asset. "As fast as the white people of Houston or any other city or town are convinced that you are responding to the opportunities and advantages offered, they are willing and are going to extend them; and so, after all, it is up to us as to what rights and privileges we shall enjoy. A wise use of those granted is certain to open up new ones. I know that in every instance where wisdom has governed the A Bible presented to President Lincoln in 1864 by Negroes in Baltimore as a token of their appreciation for the part he took in the emancipation of their race, has been received at Nashville, Teen., as the gift of Robert T. Lincoln to Fisk university, the local educational institution for Negroes. The gift was announced by the president of the university, Dr. F. A. McKenzie. Mr. Lincoln says in his letter to President McKenzie: "Please express the pleasure that I have in requesting Fisk university to accept the permanent custody of the very interesting Bible presented to my father by a large number of colored persons as a testimonial of their feelings upon the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institute where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by Gen. Clinton Bowen Fisk, immediately upon completing a distinguished military service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." No great war of our time has ended during the winter months, nor, with the exception of the Russo-Japanese war, has any begun then. For a century all wars have begun in the spring, summer or early autumn and ended between March and August. The American hen produced during the last census year nearly 20,000,000,000 eggs, and the product has been increasing since that time. Winter temperature of Cuba ranges from 60 to 85 degrees. A Japanese newspaper man in Honolulu has built a typesetting machine with which it is possible to set about 5,000 characters used by Chinese and Japanese printers. By systematic reforestation Java is constantly increasing its teak forests, which now cover more than 1,480,000 acres, despite the great amount of timber cut every year. Russians are great tea drinkers, b cups and saucers are not used. They drink the beverage from glasses. action of the Negro he has received the encouragement and assistance of the white people. "In concluding my remarks, I wish to exhort all, especially those who have achieved these new honors, that at bottom and as the basis of all life and progress must rest the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Except we eliminate all deceit and selfishness and get right down to the good old way and not only say we are willing to do so, but actually treat every man as we would like to be treated, there is no way to escape friction and disruption. "I hope the day has dawned when every member of my race will see the wisdom of being upright, honest, reliable and intelligent so that he will have the respect and confidence of the better element of all races. If we are to play the important role in the industrial and economic development of our state and country which it is possible for us to do, we must learn to be more dependable; for labor that is nondependable, that cannot be relied on, is certain to be replaced by other and more reliable labor. When all men shall have reached the point that they will quit trying to deceive each other and remember that honesty is the best policy, we will then be on the road to a better mutual understanding and therefore to a better racial relationship. Let this occasion be an incentive to all for a higher faith in the ultimate outcome of mankind." The refusal of congress to provide for additional Negro regiments in the enlarged army has received a rebuke from Governor Whitman of New York. He has authorized the enlistment of a colored regiment of the National Guard of the Empire State, and the heartening part of it is that, whereas four years ago a similar proposition was strongly opposed by the guardsmen, they support the governor's action today. The Negroes, according to the New York Press, promise that their regiment will be recruited with expedition and that their soldiery "will speedily prove itself worthy of comparison with the whites in loyalty, discipline, alertness and endurance." We pointed out, the other day, that the colored troops now in Mexico were demonstrating just that; indeed, that they were among the best American fighting stock south of the Rio Grande. Of course this is nothing new. The record of the Negro soldiery in the Civil war, when 180,000 fought to preserve the Union, was splendid in every respect. So was its record in our war with Spain. In short, the Negro has won the right through sacrifice and efficiency to be considered an active part of our national defense. If the great state of New York relies upon its colored stock to make satisfactory guardsmen, what a disgrace for the national congress, if, because of sectional hatred, it refuses to consider the ready and willing Negro for the regular army!—Milwaukee Free Press. An Irish author who has recently published a fifth-century romance insists that the "O" of his name (O'Sullivan) should not be capitalized because it is a corruption of the Gaelic word "us," meaning "the descendant of." He avers that both the apostrophe and the hyphen are recent intrusions in the field of human nomenclature. Through J. P. Rawley, a map publisher of 856 Broadway, a campaign to raise $80,000 for increasing the equipment of the Slater Industrial School for Negroes at Winston-Salem, N. C., has spread to New York. A letter sent out by William A. Blair, vice president and cashier of the People's National bank, Winston-Salem, says: "The influence of the school has eliminated every vestige of race friction in the entire vicinity. The institution is not an experiment but a splendid reality, being the most important one in the entire South for colored people, save Tuskegee and Hampton—New York Sun. Most of the so-called chicory now being used in Italy is made of dried figs. It is said that dried figs are at least as good for this purpose as chicory, and are now in great demand. The black opal, a which a few years ago created a furore in the jewelry world, has practically ceased to exist, says Albert Ramsey, London, the worlds' largest opal dealer. The last of that famous hand under John C. Fremont, who in 1846 hauled down the Mexican flag at Monterey, Cal., is dead at Spokane, Wash, Anson A. Pike, aged ninety-six. Mr. Pike, an Ohioan, built a schoolhouse in Bloomington, O., while Abraham Lincoln was superintendent of schools in that city. What is believed to be the world's smallest aeroplane has been built by a Californian, having a wing spread of only eightteen feet and being driven by a seven-horsepower motorcycle engine. For timing work the work of a Swiss stop watch carries additional marks to indicate at any point of elapsed time what the corresponding output per hour would be. Women can talk more than men, with less fatigue, according to a German scientist, because their throats are smaller and they tax their lungs and vocal organs less. Monthly aggregate of marriages in Paris increased from 768 in January, 1915, to 1,289 in December. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1916 "Flaming Hand" Shooting From Sky Alarms the Superstitious The "Flaming Hand" That Baffles Scientists. The "Flaming Hand" is the name given to an unaccountable bit of meteor which today is puzzling scientists. This remarkable object fell on the farm of Henry Prantl of Bakersville, N. J., exactly one month after the death of his son Rudolph. This coincidence led to the belief among superstitious neighbors that it came as an omen. The bit of meteor was sizzling hot when it fell and did not cool for hours. What baffles scientists who have viewed it is the fact that the material of which it is composed is unlike other meteoric compositions that have been seen in this part of the world. The "hand" shot from the sky with a great white light, according to persons living in the neighborhood. It is light in weight and resembles the hand of a human being grasping something as if in anguish. The "thumb" and "little finger" are exceptionally long and there are nails on some of the " fingers." The first, middle and ring " fingers" are drawn closely together as though in pain. What corresponds to the wrist has the appearance of having been burnt off and shows black charred edges. BEAUTY HINTS Air Baths for Hair It is more difficult to keep the hair in good condition in the summer than during the winter. In the warmer months of the year there is more dust in the air. Women spend a large percentage of their time in the open air where there are winds and hot rays from the sun to test the quality of its color and fiber. But if it is a greater task to keep the hair in condition during the summer, it is also possible to improve its texture and strengthen it then. Cleanliness is the first essential to the growth of luxuriant hair. Hair, like the body from which it springs, thrives on fresh air. It is a fine thing to shampoo the head and then permit the hair to dry naturally in the pure air to be found only outdoors or in front of an open window. The air has cleaning qualities that are all its own. They invigorate and promote the health, which makes it beautiful. Women motor more in the summer than any other season. Limousines are deserted for topless, road cars, Tennis, golf and other games keep women out of doors. In each instance the hair is under a greater test than in the drawing room. The necessity for shampooing becomes more frequent if the scalp is to be kept free from harmful accumulations that retard growth and reduce strength. The hair derives its nourishment from the scalp and each washing removes a certain amount of nutriment. With the oily substances removed, it is difficult to arrange a graceful coiffure. When the natural oils are limited in quantity, it often becomes necessary to apply something of this sort when the head is shampooed at frequent intervals. The hair should be given ample protection in the summer. Veils of light texture are available and not only keep the hair neat, but also give it protection from dust, winds and the sun's rays. They are certainly comfortable motor accessories. A veil adds to the comfort of any woman who is traveling, and it is a good thing to have around at all times. Leadership Important Factor in Every Great Enterprise or Movement. All great movements, whether for good or for evil, originate in the mind of some leader, and so important is this man that these movements are often known for thousands of years by his name. Christianity, Mohammedanism and the other great religions of the world bear testimony to this fact. All great inventions and enterprises not only have their origin in the mind of some leader, but they must be carried out under competent leadership. There is no factor that comes to the front at so many points as leadership; for it is not only the man who conceive the idea of an enterprise that must be a leader, but so must be all New Idea in Fireplaces. A California firm has designed a unique fireplace in a new bungalow which permits the entire family to gather around it, since it is placed in the center of the room. The fireplace consists of a vault about five feet square, in the center of which a fire basin is placed. The basin is encircled by a spark grate. A metal hood comes down from the ceiling to within four feet of the fire basin, and conducts the smoke to the chimney with which it is connected. The fireplace draws well and sends out a larger amount of heat than those built in the usual way against the side wall. About Women. Oregon has passed a law prohibiting the discrimination in salaries between male and female teachers. Princess Christian's favorite occupation is hat trimming. Mrs. Leona M.

The manager, the superintendent and the foreman must all be leaders if they would get the best results. If we would stand at the head of industry we must develop such methods of training our leaders as will enable them to command the confidence and support of the men with whom they have to deal. This subject has been given but little attention in the past, and in consequence our leaders have been largely selected at random, with the result that there are in this country no generally accepted principles of industrialism along the lines of which advancement can best be made. Not until we have determined the principles on which industrial development must be based and accepted the lines along which our leaders must be trained can we expect any harmonious development,—Engineering Magazine. NOT A SUCCESS POULTRY NOTES Don't forget to disinfect the incubator after each hatch with some good coal tar disinfectant. Then let it air out for a day or two with the heat on before putting more eggs in. Half-matured chicks cannot stand the hot summer sun, and ducks much less. Trees or bushes are fine. But if nature has not favored you, make a refuge of boards, lath or brush. Shade is the main thing, not style. Don't try to feed the little ducklings dry food like you do chickens, but give them moistened mashes containing a little grit, a little charcoal and a little meat food. Ducks seldom lay after June, but they begin laying very early in the year, frequently as early as January. If well cared for some will lay eggs nearly every day. When the eggs for hatching are purchased it is advisable to dip them into a 92 per cent solution of alcohol or in a 2 per cent or 3 per cent solution of some standard disinfectant because During the last year three states have passed laws putting husband and wife on equal footing in property rights. There are hundreds of women now employed in munition factories in England. Facts and Figures. Denmark has 6,300 motorcyclists. United States has 66,662 post offices. New York has 1,000 Chinese laundries. Maine last year recorded 6,222 marriages. Britain contains 13,000 intered German prisoners. Florida's highest point is 300 feet above sea level. New Zealand yearly produces $250, 000 worth of honey. United States contains 2,603,766 persons of German birth. Kern county, California, contains 55,842 acres of proved oil lands. Elderdown is one of the poorest con- ductors of heat, hence its use as a bed covering. sometimes disease germs adhere to the outside of the shell. Incubate only good-sized eggs, weighing not less than two ounces each and of a color characteristic of the breed. Abnormally large or small eggs should not be hatched. Feed grit to aid digestion by grinding the food; shell and bone to supply lime for bone development; charcoal to keep digestion in order. A very satisfactory turkey house is a long, open-front shed, with a single-pitch roof, that can be divided into compartments, each connected with a separate runway, so it faces toward the prevailing winds. Hens are like humans—they cannot do their best work unless they live in proper surroundings. "BIG LITTLE MAN" OF GAME Rabbit Maranville, Phenomenal Short-fielder of Boston Braves, is Miniature Edition of Wagner. Rabbit Maranville, the phenomenal shortstop of the Boston Braves, standing about five feet two inches in height and tipping the beam at a little more than a hundred pounds, is the "biggest little man" known to the great national game, and it is no other personage than Maranville himself who comes to the front with the assertion that some day, and that not far away, people are going to think him even bigger. Since joining the team he has done wonders to bolster the Braves' infeild. 4 Rabbit Maranville. which before 1913 was conceded to be about the weakest in the National league. Maranville is a "hundred-pound" edition of Hans Wagner. He is here, there, and everywhere and the beauty about it is he is always at the right place at the proper time. He perhaps more than any other player in the game today, has the peculiar instinct of knowing where the ball is going, and if it is anywhere within his reach he's going to get it. What is more, Maranville has proved to be an accurate thrower, for seldom does he break into the error column because of a wild peg. Dame Fashion Says You may have a dress distinctly original, by painting some simple motif in oils on the hem or in allover design. A dark blue straw hat, with the crown garnished with light-gray ribbon is a favorite color scheme of the moment. Brown is distinctly in favor for quaint taffeta dresses—wood brown, tete de negre, cinnamon and vandyke are all favored tones. Short-frilled basques are becomingly worn on many of the smart taffeta coats seen, over full taffeta skirts. Mole fur is a favorite for summer wear, partly on account of its neutral Some Things That Are New. From the speed at which earthquake waves travel through the earth an English scientist has constructed a theory that the world has a dense central core, which may be measured in time. Lever operated clamps for the hands and feet have been invented in England to take the place of ankle spikes for pole climbers, with the added advantage that they can be used on metal poles. Ventilation is provided in a new stiff hat for men by perforating the body under the ribbon with a large number of holes and futing the sweatband vertically to cause currents of air to circulate. In line with experiments with arc lamps in which the expense of trimming and cleaning is reduced one has been invented in which tungsten electrodes are inclosed in a crystalline chamber. Italians Have New Bread A new method of making bread recently adopted in italy has proved a great success. It is found that 200 pounds of grain produce 400 pounds of what is termed "natural bread." In the process the grain is sifted and washed; it is then left for 48 to 60 hours in a warm bath, where it germinates and begins to sprout. When the germinating process has gone far enough the grain is crushed in a machine and made into dough, which is passed into the oven. The natural bread is grayish in color, with an agreeable flavor, and has much higher nutritive properties than white bread, according to the Corriere Della Sera. Its eating qualities and digestibility are shown by the preference given it by Italianes who have tried it. Motor-driven street cleaning machines cleanse about 85,000 square yards of pavement a day as compared with 35,000 square yards by horse-drawn machines and at about two-thirds the cost per square yard. --- LIKE THE TOPCOAT WOMEN REFUSE TO DISCARD SUCH ADORNMENT. Other Reasons Than Its Attractive ness Responsible for the Favor With Which It Evidently is Universally Regarded. Anyone who thought that topcoats belonged to a winter climate must be amazed at their steady growth with the hot weather coming on. The reason is not difficult to find. We are indulging in the frantic plea of entering a new era; we must look sportive, whether or not we are. We must go to open-air events. We must look as though we are familiar with tennis championships, the decks of swift-going motor yachts and horse TMI08 Smart Coat of Purple Silk. The High Soft Collar is Lined With Biscuit-Colored Silk. racing; and topcoats of infinite variety are offered to the American public aid in this appearance. They are amazingly good-looking. So far, we have left the designing of them almost entirely to the French whether through inability or through indifference, the reporter cannot tell. There are a few eminent examples of American designing that are worthy of the best French work, but these coats have not been available for the many; they have been priced for the exclusives. Such colors are used in the majority of topcoats, but there is no doubt of the strong grip that checks have. A thin, soft velour that crumples up in the hand like satin is the material to be chosen, and the checks in it are in various colors. Women who must be eccentric at all costs are wearing voluminous capcoats of this velour, checked off in exaggerated red, white and blue. As they pass by in motors, one instinctively feels like saluting the flag. (Copyright, 1854, by the McClure News Paper Syndicate.) Net Ruffs Are Popular The big neck ruffles which sometimes bear the name of "Toby" and sometimes "Pierrot" are rapidly becoming popular. These big frills can be bought ready-made, but any clever girl could make one at home in the space of half an hour. It is best to choose a fairly tilt stupe, as silk tilt-illusion very easily gets limp. Double box plats look best, and it is an excellent idea to pass a length of black velvet or satin ribbon through the middle of these plats leaving the ends loose so that the ruffle may be fastened, with a large bow, in front or at the side. New Chiffons. One of the most striking designs in the new chiffons now being received in the shops is a large double rose of cream color laid upon a ground of flame. The same design is also carried out in emerald green upon a ground of cream. One more, a mauve rose upon a ground of purple, is perhaps loveliest of all. Blue and Black. Blue and black are always smart in combination. There are many blue and black silks, in stripes and plaids. Blue and black serge and taffeta are also combined with good results. Another of the old favorites to make a revival bow in these early summer days is sateen. It is being colored and printed most daintily and will be used for petticats and underskirts where a little more body is needed than the taffetas and fancy silks in present use afford. Heavy Crochet Laces. Crocheted laces are being revived again. A spread that was greatly admired was made of heavy unbleached linen inset with bands of heavy crocheted lace and finished with a scalloped lace of the same pattern. To Freshen a Skirt To freshen a skirt that has become wrinkled and mussed from packing, brush carefully so that the dust may be soaked and hang over a tub of hot water. Linen Hate. For wear with the thin summer frock, hats covered with linen and trimmed with flowers are especially pretty. Useful Hints on a Variety of Matters. That Are Well Worth Keeping in the Memory. Before trying to pull threads in linen for hemstitching or crocheting a hand- kerchief edge, run a very damp piece of cloth along the line where the thread is to be pulled. You will be surprised to see how easily the thread will pull. After threading a needle, be sure to tie the knot in the end of the thread snipped from the spool. The thread will then sew smoothly and without kinking. Next time you are hemstitching try rubbing dry soap on the material where the threads are to be pulled. They will come out like magic. This can be used on the finest or heaviest materials without injuring them. For mending torn net lace, take a strong thread and needle and button-hole stitch loosely lengthwise in every mesh. Having finished one row, turn the lace around and button-hole in every button-hole which was just finished, doing this until the tear is mended. PETTICOAT HOLDS ITS OWN Garment Has by No Means Been Released to the Background, as Some Had Imagined. The smartness that is only skirt deep has no attraction at all for the woman whose knowledge of, and fondness for, dress is a deep-rooted, and not merely an acquired taste. Under the "hobble" tyranny, it is true, opportunities for much variety were, in a double sense, limited, and the narrow proportions of the tube skirt excluded anything in the nature of "fussy" underwear. But the rout of the petticoat and the suppression of the frill notwithstanding, no woman has regarded the question of lingerie as a secondary consideration, and hardly had the wide skirt come into being than the petticoat resumed its rustling sway once more. Further, it openly declares its presence, ignoring the ancient, if unwritten, law that a petticoat, though it may be heard, should never be seen. IN THE LATEST PATTERN Home Dress Preferably of Biscuit-Colored Cloth With Effective Trimming of Brown Taffeta. Our model is in biscuit-colored face cloth, with trimming of brown taffetas. The skirt of the cloth has a voke A taken round back to sides of front and plainly stitched at edges. The bodice has sleeves and sides of the cloth, and the remainder of taftas; little bows trim center front. Materials required: 3 yards cloth 48 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard taftas 40 inches wide. Serge Frocks and Suits There are enough serge suits and gowns on every side to prove that the fabric is not out of fashion, but a thin quality of garbardine with a slight twill in it is placed a bit above a serge in the order of new fashions. Both of these materials are used for frocks and for skirts and coats, but there is a new soft cloth, like an improved dureyn, with a chequer-board pattern. It comes more in black and white than any other one color, but there are extensively good-looking suits of it in blue and cream and brown and yellow. Sashes of wide, rich-textured more ribbon are to be worn with lingerie frocks in the afternoon. Such a sash is not tie in a bow at the back, but a more formal effect is obtained by passing a long strip of the ribbon plaited through the center lengthwise, under the crushed girdle—also of the ribbon. One end of the sash falls over the upper edge of the girdle and hangs exactly over the other end, and both ends should reach almost to the knee. Gray Shoes for Tennis Tennis footwear is in the shade of gray now so popular for general street wear. The shoes are ties or high-laced styles made of gray suede with tip, and bands containing the eyelets and other trimming of glace gray kid. Something New. Polo sweaters are the latest novelties. They have no collar or sleeves, and are made like a jumper of silk or wool. They correspond in coloring to the striped skirts which are so popular for sports wear.
