NEW MOVEMENT FOR EDUCATION
ABLE LEADERS IN THE WORK
Much Encouragement Given Effort to Organize Students' Club by Members of the Lexington Avenue Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
Brooklyn—The movement recently started in this city to form an organization to be known as the Students' club is succeeding admirably. The aim of the promoters is to have all the girls in the various high schools unite in one body for mutual self help so as to more effectively accomplish their work as students and also as a preparation for the larger and more responsible duties which await them as teachers and leaders in other lines of race advancement. The movement here is headed by Mrs. Addle W. Hunton, special worker
MES. ADDIE W. HUNTON.
for the general Young Women's Christian association and other Y. W. C. A. workers officially connected with the Lexington avenue branch of the association. The preliminary work has been carefully done and a permanent organization has been formed with a large membership.
The officers of the Students' club are: Miss Edna James, president; Miss Theresa Brooks, vice president; Miss Ida Collins, secretary; Miss Lucy Lark, assistant secretary, and Miss Thelma Marshall, treasurer. As soon as the club outlines the various phases of its work it will further increase its membership by having all the other girls of the grammar schools become members. Maude Bulkley, secretary of girls' work at the Lexington avenue branch; Mrs. A. W. Hunton, Miss Chase, Mrs. R. P. Hamlin and others have given the girls splendid encouragement in their efforts to put the Students' club on a substantial footing.
Mrs. Hunton's the wife of International Secretary W. A. Hunton. She is one of the most capable and best known of the women of our rate engaged in the Young Women's Christian association work. Mrs. Hunton has been holding parter meetings in the interest of the Y. W. C. A. in this city for several weeks, through which much interest in the association has been created. Among one of such meetings to be held at various times during the month of June will be that scheduled for June 16 at 1621 Pacific street.
The Students' club movement has not only met with a hearty response from the girls, in whose interest it is being fostered, and the parents of many of the members of the club are showing unusual activity and have voluntarily offered to cooperate with Mrs. Hunton and the other leaders to make the Students' club a potent factor in the life of the community. Aside from the parer conferences a mammoth mass meeting will be held at Memorial hall on Sunday, June 25.
With such cooperation as mentioned above and with such able and experienced leaders as the club has it must succeed. It is believed that no movement within recent years having for its object the personal welfare of so many girls possess such qualities for accomplishing so much real good as is true of the Students' club of Brooklyn.
Competent Census Bureau Employees.
The statistical tables of bulletin 122 giving the death rate among the colored population in the United States were prepared by three men, of our race who are employees of the bureau of the census—Mr. Charles E. Hall, whose assignment covered population and occupation; Mr. William Jennifer, agriculture and religious statistics, and Mr. Robert Pelham, morality and ownership of homes. The work of Messrs Hall Jennifer and Pelham begins the stamp of accuracy, punctuality and efficiency and is a credit to the department, the supervisor and the race.
PROGRESS NOTED AT UNION.
University at Richmond, Va., Close
Term With Brilliant Exercises.
Richmond, Va.—The Virginia Union
university recently closed with possibly
the most brilliant commencement exercises
in its history. The commencement
season was one of much interest
and satisfaction for both the student
body and the faculty. Graduates and
former students are manifesting a
timely interest in the school. Like
the president and faculty, they believe
there is a great future work to be done
for the race through Union university.
The Rev. J. J. Wicker, pastor of the
Leigh Street Baptist church, this city,
preached the baccalaureate sermon.
The largest number of students that
have ever completed any course at
Virginia Union received diplomas from
the academy department. The class
contained thirty manies. Mr. O. A.
Hawkins addressed the graduates. The
speaker's discussion was based upon
education, service and the choice of
a right vocation in life as the real plan
for happiness in life. Splendid music
was rendered at appropriate intervals
of the program. Selections were rem-
dered by the Glee club quartet and Mr.
H. S. Brown, a graduate. The regular
business meeting of the Alumni association
was held and was followed by the
annual dinner, at which a beautiful
portrait of Dr. Nathiniel. Colver was
unvelled. This portrait is the gift of
Mr. and Mrs. Roseberger of Chicago.
Mrs. Roseberger is a granddaughter
of Dr. Colver. Colver institute, one of
the precursors of Virginia Union uni-
versity, which bore the name of and
had as its first president this stam-
abolitionist.
At the commencement exercises of the college and theological departments nine of the graduates delivered splendid orations. Mr. R. E. Blackwell, president of Randolph-Macon college, addressed the graduates. His discourse was a very inspiring one on the added responsibility of a higher education. The music rendered at these exercises was about the finest students have ever produced. A solo was sung by Professor C. E. Hadley.
President George Rice Hovey presented diplomas to and conferred degrees upon the following named persons: Candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts, A. Bayton, J. C. Carroll, C. S. Johnson, R. N. Lawson, J. L. Nixon and U. G. Wilson. Candidates for the degree of bachelor of science, J. M. Cobson and W. H. Harris. Candidate for the degree of bachelor of divinity, T. L. McGee. Candidates for the degree of bachelor of theology, E. C. Johnson and S. D. Middleton. Candidates for theological diplomas, J. R. Coquer and E. W. Langon.
Great progress in music is noticeable since the coming of Professor C. E. Hadley as a member of the faculty. Very creditable work has been done under his direction in the choir and glee club, while the quartet was better than it has been in the history of the institution.
The university is evidencing its tendeny toward general progress through the interest taken in social service among the colored people in Richmond. The school is very closely affiliated with the Richmond Negro Welfare league and pays half of the salary of its director.
GROWTH IN EFFICIENCY:
Calantho Courts Show Thrift at Knights of Pythia's Celebration.
The growth in efficiency and numbers among the various courts of Calcutta in Pittsburgh was strikingly noticeable at the recent fourth anniversary celebration of Macco lodge, No. 41, Knights of Pythias. The celebration was held in the Coronopolis (Da) armory and was largely attended by members of the uniform rank of the order in the state, Calcutta Drill corps No. I was commanded by Captain Marle M. Gross, and the hospital company was in charge of Captain Albe Stewart. The members were bedecked in new uniforms and made a fine showing. The women commanded their lines with much skill and received many congratulations from both the public and the male members of the uniform rank of the order.
Good Year at Georgia State College. Savannah, Ga. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Georgia State college is being celebrated in connection with the annual commencement exercises of the college, which began here on Wednesday, June 14. The school year has been a very successful one and there were graduated from the college, normal and industrial departments about fifty students. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Addresses were delivered by Mr. James W. Johnson of New York. Bishop Benjamin Kelley of Georgia and Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. of Philadelphia, who is the son of Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State college.
Miss Vann Resumes' Newspaper Work.
One of the most efficient young women engaged in newspaper work in the south is Miss Apple Mac Vann of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. Miss Vann is a member of the National Negro Press association, attends its various meetings from time to time and has been of great assistance to the members of the organization by giving them the benefit of her large experience as a subscription agent, in which line she is considered an expert. It is therefore a bit of good taws to learn from the Journal and Guide that Miss Vann has again rewarded her activities after a slight setback on account of eye trouble.

ROOSEVELT DECLINES MOOSE NOMINATION
Chicago, Ill.-By a vote of 33 to 6 the Progressive national committee, in session here, endorsed the candidacy of Charles Lewis Hughes for president. Nine members of the committee refused to vote.
No action was taken regarding the vice presidential nominee. The candidacy of Fairbanks was not endorsed. As matters stood when the committee affirmed, the Progressives still have a regularly nominated candidate for vice president—John M. Parker of Louisiana. Parker has stated that he will not withdraw.
In this letter to the committee Col. Roosevelt said:
"It would be a grave detriment to the country to re-elect Mr. Wilson. I shall, therefore, strongly support Mr. Hughes. Such being the case, it is unnecessary to say that I cannot accept the nomination of a third ticket. I do not believe there should be a third ticket. In my opinion, the nomination of a third ticket would be a move in the interest of Mr. Wilson."
Of Hughes he said:
"I regard Mr. Hughes as a man whose public record is a guarantee that he will not merely stand for a program of clean-eat, straight-out Americanism before election, but will resolutely and in good faith put it through if elected. He is beyond all comparison better fitted to be president than Mr. Wilson."
When the committee met a hot fight was in prospect. John M. Parker, Louisiana, headed a faction urging that the party organization be kept up in spite of T. K.'s advice. George W. Perkins urged the committee to heed Toddy. Others wanted the matter left to state organizations of the party.
SOUNDS B GODTHIRSTY
PULL OUT EYES, SNATCH OUT HEARTS, DRINK BLOOD, MEX. ICAN PAPER URGES.
41 Paso, Tex. Refugees who arrived here brought Mexican newspapers to show to what extent the anti-American feeling is growing. An editorial in La Reforma, a semi-official paper published in Saltillo, captioned "Blood" makes a violent attack on the United States, its people and its policies, and continues: "Pull out eyes, snatch out hearts, tear open breasts, drink—if you can—the blood in the skulls of the invaders from the cities of Nankeen land. In defense of liberty he a Nero: a Caligula—that is to be a good patriot.
"Peace between Mexico and the United States will be closed in throes of terror and barbarism."
Drops From Sight
Cleveland, O. — A nation-wide search is being made for E. P. Maxwell, a Boston business man, widely known in automobile circles, who left hotel Statler June 18, ostensibly to return to Boston, and has not since been heard of.
Mrs. Maxwell, alarmed at the disappearance of her husband at the close of a power-wrecking trial in common pleas court here, carried to Cleveland to in the search, but has returned to her home, leaving Cleveland detectives to contemplate the search here.
SUCCESS OF ABLE RELEASED SOLDIERS BAPTIST LEADER ARRIVE AT JUAREZ
---
WELL LIKED BY THE MASSES
Salutary Influence of Prominent Phoebe Minister Whose Work For the Religious and Educational Advancement of the Race Has Attracted Wide Attention—Sorves In Many Positions.
Phoebets, Va.—The growth of the Baptist, denomination in the state of Virginia within the past ten years has been very remarkable. Among the leading causes of this progress in numbers and church property ownership are, first, the many splendid educational institutions in the state and, second, the large number of well prepared young men who have entered the ministry from these schools within recent years.
Foremost among the thirty men who are doing things worth while in religious work is the Rev. A. X. Graham, D.D. pastor of the Zion Baptist church in this town, Dr. Graham, is a graduate of the Virginia Union university. The became pastor of Zion church about fourteen years ago. His success has been unusually brilliant. The church office is one of the most substantial and attractive in this section of the state. It has a modern pipe organ and other equipments for worship which
REV. A. A. GRAHAM, D. D.
reflect great credit upon the industry
and good taste of Dr. Graham and the
members of the church.
The church edifice was remodeled shortly after the Rev. Mr. Graham'b came pastor at a cost of about $4,000. The handsome pipe organ was installed seven years ago. The cost of these improvements was promptly met, and for the last ten years the Zion church has enjoyed the distinction of being the only church entirely free of debt in this part of the state. The membership of the church has grown enormously under the supervision of its pastor. More than 1,200 persons have been baptized by Dr. Graham, aside from the number that have been added to the membership of the church by letter and Christian experience. The congregation of the Zion church is noted for its promptness. Every service begins on schedule time and is conducted in such orderly fashion as to make them interesting and restful. The church is generous in its attitude to charity, missions and education and with becoming zeal lends its support to all objects and activities of whatever kind looking to the social and moral betterment of the community.
Dr. Graham is the moderator of the Norfolk Union Baptist association, secretary to the General Association of Women and is trustee of a number of secondary schools fostered by the Baptists of the state. He is also connected with practically all of the movements among the colored people for public education in the state and is chairman of the executive committee of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. His public addresses and lectures on education and social advancement have given him a large and growing prestige. He is an intense lover of his race, is a frank and outspoken champion of its rights and yet enjoys the respect and confidence of the leading white people of his community and the state. He is a favorite with the industry in general among all denominations. He is a duet speaker and ready debater. Dr. Graham's work of social uplift has had a marked and salutary influence upon the Phoebe community and the communities adjacent, and improvement in all directions of progress has resulted from his affiliated labor. He prays the doctrine of cooperation and union and believes in the principle of working together broadly applied as affecting all the races in this country, but especially as it relates to members of his own life.
He is a man of profound convictions and has the courage to defend them. His calmness and goodness to stray from the world have at times surpassed him in the world of religion. At times he has been one of the most brave and brave in the world.
First Chief Complies With Wilson's Demand and Orders Surrender of Prisoners.
U. S. CONSULATE IS LOOTED
Carranza Soldiers Tear Down Shield and Carry Off Property: Reported Villa Officers With Strong Force Are Near Juarez.
San Antonio, Tex., Gen. Punston has received a report from Brig. Gen. George Bell, stationed at El Paso, which stated Gen. Bell had been notified by Mexican Consul Garcia that the American prisoner taken at Carranza would arrive at Juarez today.
According to the report, Consul Garcia had received word from Gen. Jacinto Trevino that the American prisoners, with their arms and acquaintments, were to be delivered at once to the American authorities, in compliance with the demand of President Wilson. The report was forwarded immediately to Washington by Gen. Punston.
There were 23 American troops held at Chihuahua City, excluding Leon Spilbersbury, the Mormon scout.
Says Arbitration Will Be Urged.
Gen. Trevino, who is commander of the Mexican army, of the north, received an order from First Chief Carranza directing him to release the Americans immediately.
Gen. Trevino announced First Chief Carranza had decided to urge that the differences between Mexico and the United States be submitted to arbitration. He is understood to have appointed a committee to represent the de facto government.
Conditions at Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass, where Gen. Francisco Murcia has a strong force ready, is being closely watched here. In addition to the three batteries of field artillery there are two regiments of infantry and one battery of field artillery already there.
Consulate Attacked.
Nogales, Aziz. The American consultate at Nogales, Sonora, just across the border from here, was booted by Carrana soldiers and the should turn down. Consul Simplich died to American soil in fear of his life. United States government property was confiscated by the hosters. An appeal for aid has been made by Consul Simplich to Gen. C. Ciles, in charge of the Mexican troops.
Army officers are investigating a report that the murderers of William Parker and his wife on their ranch southwest of Hachita, N. M., were captured on this side of the border and killed.
Word from the front is that Carranzista troops are appearing south of the American line in Mexico, but at no point are they sufficiently close to cause fear of a clash.
This is the gist of a report brought to Gen. Pershinkh's headquarters by John C. Hays, manager of the Hearest ranch, one of the largest American-owned, properties in Mexico. Hays brought a large bunch of horses with him. He said he was leaving the property.
Fresh cause for apprehension was found along the border in news of the gathering of strong forces of former Villa, sympathizers under notorious cheltains in the vicinity of Jaurez and the close surveillance by the civil and military authorities on former adherents who are now refugees in El Paso.
HURL BACK RUSSIANS
BERLIN REPORTS CAPTURE OF
POSITIONS; FRENCH ARE
HOLDING STRONG.
Amsterdam, Holland.—The German forces, pressing their offensive in Volhynia, are continuing to hurl back the Russians, according to Berlin. Announcement was made by the German war office the Germans have captured the village of Winiewka, west of Sigul, and Russian positions south of that point.
The notable advance of the Italians over the ground from which they were forced in the recent Austrian offensive shows no sign of a halt.
Dispatches from the British front in France and Flanders lay emphasis upon the intensity of the bombardment which is being brought to bear upon the German lines. No important move of the infantry on this front, however, has yet been reported.
The French are holding their own north of Verdun, where continued German attacks in the Thaumont and Fleury sectors were completely checked by the artillery and infantry fire of Gen. Nivelle's forces, according to Paris.
Swiss Get Ultimatum.
Paris, France.--A Zurich dispatch to the Martin says that Germany's demands on Switzerland for the exchange of commodities are in the form of an ultimatum.
An amendment was made in the Swiss parliament last week that Germany had demanded that the Swiss government permit the exportation of cotton and footwear collected by German agents, stating that if the demand was complied with, Germany would prohibit exportation of materials required for Swiss industry.

In the early days of this latest trouble with Mexico, when there was a scarcity of legitimate news, the Washington, D.

Flipper's being in the Mexican army under Villa and "thirsting" for an opportunity to "get at" Gen. Fred, Finston, whom the paper said was at West Point when certain alleged indignities, mentioned later on, were offered "Cadet Flipper; also that there was a large Army (Mexico) officer of high rank, in various Mexican armies, and a good deal more of such not song of a few of our papers, republically only to learn from Air Flipper's better to the Washington, D.

As to myself, I was reimbued out of the army in 1822. In 1823 I was employed by an American company composed wholly of south spies and sold in various exotic lands.

Dismissed by the Ohio Supreme Court Because of a Similar Action in U. S. Court.
Columbus, O.—The Ohio supreme court, last Friday, dismissed the case of the misappropriation of film, "The Birth of a Nation" by the Producing Co. of N.Y., against the Industrial Commission of Ohio, in which the right of the company to exhibit the misappropriate photoplay was to be tested. The court held its decision on the case because it would be unnecessary in a case where the same question is now pending in federal (U. S.) court. The Ohio board of moving picture censors, a part of the Industrial Commission, rejected the play, declaring it was conducive to race prejudice and maligned historical characters and incidents; as well as the loyal soldiers of the War of the Revolution, also clorifies the in-famous Ku Klux Klan period and attempts to justify much of the dilocalyous conduct of the robbs and traitors, as well as the lynchmen derers.
Sore at Willis for Ordering Them Out to Dig Trenches and With Convicts. Too.
The colored values of the state have another grudge against Frank B. Willis now since the Ninth Colored battalion was ordered out-simply to dig trenches and do other work at Camp Willis, where the O.

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to understand it"—Abraham Lincoln.
The Charlie ticket is ideal.
Hughes owes the politicians nothing.
Rah! For Charles Hughes and Charlie Fairbanks!
The Progressive party was given a great wake in the Coliseum.
Hughes is a concentrated, powerful campaigner. He can make the opulent stop and think.
Col. Roosevelt has shown himself willing to practice the exalted patriotism he recently has preached.
The early pressure for the nomination of Mr. Hughes was from the Progressives who had returned to the Republican party.
I stand for an unfinishing maintenance of ALL the rights of American citizens on land and sea.—Charles E. Hughes.
When the Democratic convention at St. Louis commended the splendid "diplomatic victories" of the President, did they have in mind the salute he did not get from Huerta, or the mind-your own-business letter he received from Carranza?
President Wilson claims to be a "forward looking man." But judging by the frequency with which he has changed his mind on important public issues, he does not look very far forward, or, if he does, he is a poor judge of what lies just ahead of him.
If some of your Democratic friends get too facetious in political discussion, ask them to write to their delegates to the National Convention and inquire why the convention left out of the platform this year the assurance that "our pledges are made to be kept while in office as well as to be relied upon during the campaign."
The Democratic administration asserts that it inherited the Mexican muddle from the Republicans. The assertion is not true, but, even if it were true, what of it? Didn't the Democrats ask the American people to oust the Republicans from power on the plea that they could run things better. And wherein have they run anything better than did the Republicans?
THE CARRIZAL MASSACRE.
So very much has been written and published anent this terrible affair that all are intensely familiar with its details to date. The great sacrifice has not been in vain—from a racial standpoint. The newspapers of the country have been teeming with the warmest praise of the Carrilaz heroes all of whom but four were and are Afro-Americans. "Twas ever thus!" As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24 of this year, was an Afro-American, so the first man killed in the Revolutionary War was a Negro, Crispus Attucks. Our people take pride in the fact that it was the charge of our troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish-American War that turned the tide there and saved Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders," and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. The Negro was with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry here on Lake Erie, and nearly 200,000 of our soldiers served in the War of the Rebellion. In event of war with Mexico there would be thousands engaged in it. And they, too, would leave the same untarnished record all of our soldiers have left from the very beginning down to and including the Carrilaz massacre. We have never doubted that Carranza would liberate the imprisoned heroes.

ONE OF OUR BARRIERS.
Attention should be given not only to the kind of education the race is receiving but also the kind of teachers, teaching them. It is to be feared that too many of our men and women are in the business for the money and not for the uplift and marthood of the race. The most compromising and cringing set of leaders among our people, are their teachers. In the south, our men, especially, feel that it is their duty to teach the youth to recognize the alleged superiority of all other races. Their very attitude is one of "truckling sycophancy." From the school-room no inspiration comes to the youth to aspire to be a man among men, regardless of race, but he is taught to take his place among "our people" and make himself "useful" to white people. Almost every teacher from the South, even in the North, entertains audiences before whom they speak by how they make our boys and girls work. Great emphasis is laid upon menial work, cooking, sweeping, milking cows, washing and the like. Extremely seldom do we hear of the attainments of our youth in music, art, history, painting and the other acquaintances that have made the white race great. Very seldom do we hear any teacher telling of his teaching our boys the laws of government, politics, civil rights, personal liberty and the national constitution. Our teachers have accepted the "jim-crow" government of the South and are teaching our youth to do the same. If this were all, it would be bad enough but they go all over the country in pursuit of money and wherever they go, they leave the impression upon philanthropists that that is the right kind of education our people should have. Northern men of color hear this rot and see the evil effects of this disastrous propaganda. We do not object to industrial education but we do object to the industrialism that sans the manhood out of our boys.
Whether a Colored boy lives in New York or Texas, he should be made to understand that all kinds of work are noble; that every human being, regardless of his race or condition, should know how to work so as to take care of himself. On the other hand the Colored boy should be taught that he is an AMERICAN CITIZEN and as such he has a right to know the rights and privileges of a citizen as well as to be protected in the enjoyment of these rights. There is no kind of education that any white boy has, a Colored boy should not have unless it is the education now being given, to be "cussedly selfish and hogish." The first step to liberate the south is to change the attitude of the teachers. Inject into their spine manhood and womanhood. Make them know that to be called a "good nigger" who is teaching the other "niggers" to respect and cringe before "white folks," is not his mission. The Colored boy has the right to grow up feeling that he is a free American citizen. He should not be a "bully" but a real intelligent, selfrespecting man. He should know his rights and demand them. To do less, is to be less than a man. We say to our teachers of the South, stop yelping about our "southern white friends." The average fair minded white man that goes south, returns feeling a sense of disgust at the way our people are treated. Colored teachers come North and say our white friends there are all right. They may be, but it is kept in the dark or secret. We believe it is a curse to give money to continue teaching our youth to be cringing cowards and sycophants. Money should go South, but it should go to men and

WILBERFORCE.—The usual good attendance characterized commencement week here. Persons from about all parts of the country made up this year's crowd and the exercises were above the average. There were interesting programs almost every afternoon and evening. These were noted in a recent issue of The Gazette. Eighty-five students from all departments of the college—classical, scientific, theological, normal, industrial, commercial and manual training—were granted degrees, diplomas and university degrees at the 53d annual commencement of that famous institution, last week Thursday morning. President W. O. Thompson of Ohio State University, Columbus, delivered the address and walked with President W. S. Scarborough at the head of the academic procession which formed at the library and marched to Galloway hall, where the exercises were held.

women who have the courage to teach their race to be satisfied with nothing less than the standards of American intelligence require. The writer taught in the South for fifteen years. He enjoyed the respect and co-operation of white men and women of the South but at no time did he stoop to or teach anything contrary to what he is now writing; and not only taught but through the southern press, gave out similar sentiments and statements. The traditions of the South do not call upon our men to cringe. The race everywhere should see to it that well poised teachers, who have courage, tact and manhood be placed at the heads of our schools. The rights of American citizens should be taught our youth. This knowledge would not make them disturbers but intelligent citizens asking only for what the nation grants CITIZENS! When the same teaching is given both races, or all we should say, friction will cease, for every boy will quickly see that it is only a hog that wants good things for himself and seeks to keep others from enjoying the same. Southern school teachers must have MANHOOD. WOMANHOOD and tactful COURAGE. Stop crining and fawning around. Don't bring your deadening disease to the other portions of the country and begin the same propaganda here.

BETTER GO SOUTH AGAIN!
There are those among us who do not think "jim-crow" treatment and segregation are coming fast enough; they are composed of two classes. First, there is the loud, boisterous and rowdy class who in public places do the things that are repulsive and that are making sentiment against the class. We seem not to be satisfied with the freedom of action in this section and to profit by being "All-American," but who want the same conditions to obtain here that they forsook the Southland to get away from. To be fair, both of these classes of our citizenry have been taught the ways and condition of mind, or go right back where they came from. Los Angeles (Cal.) Eagle.

Silence Pleases Orator.
What a speaker likes best is not applause. It is silence. There are moments when to a speaker the silence can be thrilling. Then he knows, as we say, that he "has" his audience. A perfect relation has been established. During those moments the thought is passing rapidly from the speaker's mind into the minds of the listeners and is taking effect. It may not always be a sympathetic effect. It may even be hostile. Nevertheless, the thought is at work.
Libraries in Coffee Houses
Before the days of free libraries book rooms were attached to English coffee houses and every customer was entitled to peruse a book while sipping his cup of coffee. Some of these libraries contained as many as a thousand volumes and even printed catalogues. Two such coffee houses are said to have existed in London until as late as the early 80s.
15 Shapes Fun of a Cat
Take a large cupful of granulated corn meal, add pinch of fine grapeseed. Place cat on apron or other cloth, then rub meal gently and thoroughly through the fur, gathering the meal up and repeating three or four times. This will heal and leave skin perfectly clean and the fur soft and luxurious. Will also remove fleas.
No Trick About It
Alice, aged three, stood watching her mother baking pancakes. After a few moments' silent observation she said: "That's easy; put on back, turn on stomach, then eat."

MME.C.H.JONES' Hair Tonic and Invigorator
HER TONIC is the result of scientific study of the causes of diseases of the scalp.
Instead of treating effects of the diseases she treats the causes, eliminating the same and leaving the scalp in a healthy condition that can be maintained by using her Hair Tonic and Invigorator, according to her instructions. Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator is guaranteed to stop the failing out of the hair and to make the hairrow.
It has been successfully used by many ever since 1900 and with perfect accuracy, it is recommended by many Toledo people and elsewhere, who people and individuals. Many people get diseased wounds by using widely advertised hair tonics prepared by unscrupulous persons who have been infected.
On the other hand, MADAME JONES' HAIR TONIC and INVIGORATOR is absolutely harmless and will do all that is claimed for it.
Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator promotes the growth of the hair, prevents and cures baldness, removes dandruff, cures scalp diseases, imparts lustre and beauty; it restores the color of the hair by supplying it with the natural elements and necessary nourishment.

It was announced at a recent meeting of the Attucks Republican club that the Cleveland Association of Colored "Men" was to hold another alleged emancipation celebration at color-line Lune park, next month. The event was scheduled even on "Negro Day" as well as every other day in the year and the barring of Afro-Americans from the roller-skating rink and dance-hall every other day of the year nearly, does not seem to be enough for the Cleveland Association of Colored "Men." GOOD NEWS: Where is their self and race respect?
Mrs. Alice Farlice, wife of Tillman M. Farlice of 2358 E. 63d St., died, last Monday afternoon, after an illness of five months. She had been a resident of this city for 25 years, and was highly esteemed and respected. The husband, two sons, and the wife and husband of relatives (the Hackley and Sutton families being among the number) survive her and have the earnest sympathy of many persons of both races in this community. Mr. and Mrs. Farlice were among the founders of Antioch Baptist church. Funeral service was held on Thursday afternoon, the pastor officiating. Interment in Woodland cemetery.
The new St. Andrew's church in E 49th St. was dedicated, Sunday after noon, as announced last week in The Gazette. The services were very impressive. Headed by the choir, Bishop Leonard and others of the local Episcopal clergy marched down the center aisle to the chancel. In his address the bishop gave an interest in the movement of the movement that suited in the building of the church and parish house, and said that the congregation of St. Andrews had contributed $1,000 toward church, rectory and parish house, approximate cost of which was $40,000. Rev. W. R. Breed, rector of St. Paul's church, talked eloquently of the life and virtues of the apostle, St. Andrew, and Miss Rachel Vail, receptions each evening, this week wound up with a banquet, last evening, which proved an enjoyable and successful affair.

Be consistent in your economy. Don't try to save on the necessities of life. To do so is false economy, but to practice your economies on those things you do not actually need—the luxury.
The necessary requisites for an invalid's service are wholesomeness of food, appropriate kinds for the person served and prompt and dainty service. Do not confer with the invalid as to what he would like to eat, for the various surprises will help to tickle his appetite.
The tray on which the food is served should be covered with a spotless napkin, folded to cover a good-sized tray. The smallest, prettiest dishes should be placed on it and everything in an orderly manner. All hot foods should be served hot and cold foods cold on well-chilled dishes.
For a fever patient, fruit juice in cold water makes most refreshing drinks. Serve in small glasses rather than in too large quantities. This is a rule which should be observed in all serving to sick people.
Oatmeal Gruel—Take two-thirds of a cupful of oatmeal, add three pints of boiling water and a teaspoonful of salt; cook for two and a half hours in a double boiler. Remove from the fire and strain. When using for a patient, use half a cupful of the gruel with a half cupful of thin cream, two tablespoonfuls of boiling water and sugar to taste. A grating of nutmeg or cinnamon may be added in some cases. Other gruels may be prepared in the same manner, using barley, cornmeal, rice or farina.
Chicken Custard—Take a cupful and a half of crumbs from the center of a loaf, add to them two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped chicken breast. Beat the yolks of two eggs until well mixed, add to them a dash of celery salt, a pinch of salt and a cupful of milk. Mix all well and pour into a custard cup set in hot water and bake until the custard is set. Serve hot.
Simple custards are both wholesome and dainty to serve to an invalid. Float-island, with small cubes of jelly on the egg white, makes a most attractive dish which will be especially pleasing to children. The sight must be appealed to in the sick, so a study of pretty combinations pleasing to the eye is worth while. Nessie Maxwell.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
Many of the students enrolled in the Houston schools have taken much interest in the industrial arts courses. There are three manual training teachers in the city. R. M. Catchings is the teacher of the night school, and two others divide their time among the ward schools. Mary J. Holden is at the head of the domestic science department. R. M. Catchings was graduated from the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial college and later he pursued a post-graduate course at Bradley Polytechnic at Peoria, Ill. later he made an inspection of manual training and industrial art schools in St. Louis and Chicago.
"Manual training in our Houston schools," said Mr. Catchings, "is included in all the courses from the fourth grade through the high school, and every boy student passing through these grades is compelled to take the course, while the girls passing through the same grades are compelled to take domestic science and domestic art in order that they may be taught the essentials of taking care of homes properly.
"Manual training gives the boys the fundamental ideas about handling the tools. We want to teach the boys the underlying principles of the trades. We endeavor to give them ideas about designs and try to raise their tastes. In doing this we bring to the boy's mind that there is a great advantage in skilled labor. All the manual training work is done according to mechanical drawings made by the student, and in this way the student is compelled to have a certain thing in view.
"Mary J. Holden, the teacher of domestic art and domestic science in the high school, is a graduate of Tuskegee institute. In these classes the girls are taught the essentials of cooking, laundering and proper care of the home.
"In a way our work will be slow but even in ten years the things we are teaching in the schools in Houston will be readily observed in the Negro race. Our people will be better citizens, more able to help themselves and they will make a greater impression on the white people as well as the colored race of Houston.
"This occasion is evidence that the leading men and women of Houston—and what is true here is becoming true generally all over the country—believe that education makes the Negro a better citizen by making of him a more useful citizen. That is a logical and very evident fact. It is the ignorant, idle Negro who causes most of the disturbance. And what is true of the Negro is largely so among all races. It is the least intelligent among any people that are hardest to control, and for this reason education everywhere is receiving a new impetus—whether it is education of the head or of the hands. One is impossible without the other, to a greater or less degree. The intelligent man just won't be idle. He will employ his time to some profitable end and therefore has no time for evil contemplations. On the other hand, ignorance breeds indolence, indolence induces idleness and idleness leads to crime.
"With the night school open in addition to the excellent public day schools there is no reason why, within a few years, every Negro-old and young—in the city of Houston should not make of himself or herself a better and more useful man or woman
President James H. Dillard of the Slater and Jeanes funds, himself a southern man from the state of Louisiana, and up to the time of his election as president of the above funds, dean of Tulane university, and large numbers of others like him, are putting forth all their energies to create sentiment in the South that shall induce officials to give the Negro a larger share of public funds for educational purposes. Conditions are improving in this respect, and quite largely as a result of the work of the church schools and the educational missionaries, who went from the North into the South fifty years ago and have continued to this day, in spite of ostracism and misunderstanding, to do for the Negro that which the great missionary workers of the world are doing for the non-Christian races—Northern Christian Advocate.

In proportion as you have been lifted in the scale of human intelligence, by just so much have your responsibilities to the public increased, and you owe it to the people to advertise the wonderful opportunities offered by the night school and the great need for every man and woman who otherwise has not had the chance to do so, to take advantage of this opportunity to better prepare themselves for life's duties."

The Ven. Floyd Keeler in the Living Church of March 11, in an article entitled "The Church's Mission Among Afro-Americanes," expresses surprise that Bishop Darst's plan of a separate racial district for Negroes in the South, presided over by a white bishop, has excited so little comment. The difficulty with this plan is fundamental and would suit no one, least of all the Negroes themselves. I repent here what I have said to my own diocesan council, "that no white man can work effectively or satisfactorily among a race that he cannot visit socially." A large, part of a bishop's influence and success comes from social contact with his people. As chief shepherd over the flock his relations to his people must necessarily be something more than official. The Negro is therefore perfectly right in asking for a bishop of his own race, one who can visit him socially and break bread at his table as well as represent him in the general councils of the church and at all industrial and educational gatherings of his people. This a white man could never do.
The plan of a separate racial missionary district with a Negro bishop in charge having full powers of jurisdiction evidently finds favor in the eyes of Mr. Keeler, who cites with approval the apostolic precedent that in the early church the gospel of the circumcision was committed to St. Peter, and the mission to the Gentiles to St. Paul, and that this involved a division of labor and authority in the same territory. But we would remind him that this was done long before the days of a settled diocesan episcopate and could hardly be cited as a precedent to guide us now. The hard, stubborn fact with which history confronts us is that not since the days of diocesan bishops has the church ever been divided on racial lines. The idea that a bishop should ever be called upon to surrender part of his flock because some of his sheep were black or brown or some other color is an absolutely new proposition and entirely at variance with the whole teaching of the catholic church for nearly two thousand years. To do so is to surrender the catholic ideal of one bishop "one father in God," over one undivided family in God. Make the family small, if you please, limit your bishop to a single city if necessary, but when you make him a bishop and give him jurisdiction he is the bishop of every living man, woman and child in his diocese, whether they acknowledge his authority or not.—Bishop of South Carolina.

Cities of the second class cannot have separate schools for Negroes in Kansas. This was the ruling of the supreme court in an application of three Negroes of Galena for a writ of mandamus to compel the city to admit their children to the schools attended by white children. Last summer the city established a separate school for all Negro children, and provided it with as good teachers and equipment as was provided in the regular schools. The supreme court granted the writ of mandamus, holding that no discrimination could be made between children of whites and Negroes.

ULTIMATUM SENT
TO GARRANZA
U. S. Considers Last Note of De Facto Government an Avowal of Hostiities.
SEES NO CHANCE FOR PEACE
Calls on Carranza for Release of Prisoners and Return of Property Taken; President Wilson Will Adress Congress.
Washington, D. C.—The text of the ultimatum to Carranza, given out by the state department, is as follows: "The following telegram was sent on June 25, 1916, to James Linn Rodgers, special representative of the American government in Mexico City: "Mr. Arredondo yesterday delivered to this government the following communication:
"I am directed by my government to inform your excellency, with reference to the Carrish incident, that the chief executive, through the Mexican war department, gave orders to Gen. Jacinto B. Trevino not to permit American forces from Gen. Pershing's column to advance further south, nor to move east or west from the points where they are located, and to oppose new incursions of American soldiers into Mexican territory. These orders were brought by Gen. Trevino to the attention of Gen. Pershing, who acknowledged the receipt of the communication relative thereto. On the 22d instant, as your excellency knows, an American force moved eastward quite far from its base, notwithstanding orders, and was engaged by Mexican troops at Carrish, state of Chihuahua. As a result of the encounter several men on both sides were killed and wounded and 17 American soldiers were made prisoners."
"You are hereby instructed to hand to the minister of foreign relations of the de facto government the following: Considered an Avowal of Hostilities. "The government of the United States can put no other construction upon the communication handed to the secretary of state of the United States on the 24th of June by Mr. Areldondo, under instruction of your government, than that it is intended as a formal avowal of deliberately hostile action against the forces of the United States now in Mexico, and of the purpose to attack them without provocation whenever they move from their present position in pursuance of the objects for which they were sent there, notwithstanding the fact that those objects not only involve no unfriendly intention towards the government and people of Mexico, but are, on the contrary, intended only to assist that government in protecting itself and the territory and people of the United States against irresponsible and insurgent bands of rebel marauders.
"I am instructed, therefore, by my government to demand the immediate release of prisoners taken in the encounter at Carrizal, together with any property of the United States taken with them, and to inform you that the government of the United States expects an early statement from your government as to the course of action it wishes the government of the United States to understand it has determined upon, and that it also expects that this statement be made through the usual diplomatic channels, and not through subordinate military commanders."
Regards War as Inevitable.
President Wilson Sunday night informed Senator Stone of Missouri chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations; Senator Lodge, ranking Republican member of the same committee, and Representative Flood, chairman of the house committee on foreign relations, that he regarded war with Mexico as inevitable.
WAS ACT OF MADMAN
MAN WHO KILLED TWO PEOPLE
IS FOUND A SUICIDE IN
BRIER PATCH.
Painesville, O.—That the killing of
William Proper, aged 21, and
Addie Proper, 17, at Perry Saturday was
the tragic whim of a madman was revealed
when a posse of Perry men
under Marshal Melvin Keener of that
place found the body of Zmery Bowen,
33, the slayer, in a clump of briars not
more than a quarter of a mile from
where the deed was committed. Bowen
had a braitet in the heart.
Letters to Fred Bowen Claremont,
Cal., a brother, and L. D. Bowen, Perry,
the suicide's father, revealed the
motive for the killing.
Bowen in these letters told how he
had been plotted against in California
and how he had been poisoned a week
ago. He told how he was going "to
give them a shot" and then "finish
himself."
Gets War Truck Order
Cleveland, O.—Government orders for motor trucks similar to those supplied the allies and said to aggregate more than $1,000,000 are being rushed by the Peerless Motor Car Co. of Cleveland.
It is stated that the original order was for 1,500 motor trucks and that supplementary instructions from the United States government indicate that the Peerless company can figure on 2,800 more trucks. The trucks are of the latest army transport pattern and are valued at $3,700 each.
Death Halts Wedding.
Sandusky, O.-Charles Samsel, aged 29 years, a foreman at the American Crayon Co.'s plant, was drowned in Lake Erle off Marblehead. With 11 companions, four of whom risked their lives to rescue him. Sam sel started out in a launch to fish near Kelley's island. He attempted to draw a bucket of water into the boat and plunged overboard. Samsel, his friends say, told them a few moments before he fell in he expected to be married within a month.

TELLS AUSTRIA ATTACK
ON VESSEL IS INSULT
Lansing Brands Shelling of Petrolite Invasion of American Rights; Demands Apology.
Washington, D. C.—The American rejoinder to Austria regarding the Austrian submarine attack on the American steamer Petrolite, made public by the state department, describes the act as a "deliberate insult to the flag of the United States and an invasion of the rights of American citizens," and requests a prompt apology, punishment of the submarine commander and payment of indemnity. In vigorous language the communication, sent a week ago, makes it clear that the United States government believes the facts of the case entirely different from what the Austrian submarine commander reported them to be and that immediate amends are expected.
The Austrian claim that the Petrolite's captain voluntarily gave up supplies taken from the steamer by the submarine commander is flatly contradicted, as are the claims that warning shots were fired across the Petrolite's bow before she was shelled and that her appearance was such as to justify the submarine commander in mistaking her for a cruiser. The attack on the Petrolite, a Standard Oil tanker, occurred in the Mediterranean Dec. 5. A protest sent soon afterward on preliminary reports from the tanker's captain and crew brought the Austrian communication to which the new American note replies. The state department denies every allegation set up by Austria in defense of the action of her submarine commander. Officials are at a loss to explain why the submarine issue with the central powers was revived at a time when this government is in grave difficulties with Mexico, after the apparent settlement of the undersea boat issue with Germany.
FIVE KILLED, ONE HURT
FIVE KILLED, ONE HURT

Will Bury Educator in Westerville.
Westerville, O.—The funeral of
Lewis D. Bonebrake, the former
state commissioner of schools, who
died at his home in Indianapolis, will
be held here. He resigned as president of Indiana Central university a
year ago because of ill health. He was

United Brethren church.
Takes Poison. May Live.
East Llvarpool, O.—Physicians here expressed hope for the recovery of Mrs. E. E. Barnes, 32, who took four bichloride of mercury tablets with sulcidal intent, it is said. Domestic trouble was assigned as the motive.
Given Five-Year Sentence.
Fort Worth, Tex.—Mrs. Katherine Vance Harrison, the 16-year-old bride of Charles Harrison, was found guilty of murder by a jury in circuit court and sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
Mrs. Harrison admitted killing W. L. Warren, a hotel proprietor, but accused him of having seduced her. She married Harrison, a nephew of United States Senator Charles A. Culberson of Texas, two days after the killing. Motion for a new trial was made and the defendant released on bond.
Fire in Penitentiary.
Lexington, Ky.—Fire at the state state penitentiary, Frankfort, Ky., destroyed the chair, shoe and shirt factories of the institution, the home of James Sullivan, owner of the tan yard, and threatened the penitentiary's main building.
It is reported four convicts were killed by guards. This has not been confirmed.
State militiamen were called out to guard the prisoners, who were panic-stricken. The origin of the fire is not known at this time.
BANDITS MURDER RANGER AND WIFE
Mexicans Shoot Into New Mexican Homestead. Slay Occupants and Steal Stock.
WED BUT THREE MONTHS
United States Cavalry Sent in Pun suit of Raiders With Orders to Capture or Kill Bandits; Had Feared an Attack.
Hachita, N. M.—American cavalry and citizen posses are riding hard across the desert prairie south of here in pursuit of the Mexican raiders who murdered William Parker and his wife and drove away their cattle. Orders have been issued to capture or kill the Mexicans. The pursuing forces are now near the international boundary and have orders to cross if necessary.
Troops in Pursnit.
Detachments of cavalry from Hatchia, Alamo Hueco and Culberson's ranch are leading the chase. They are followed by a dozen automobiles loaded with civilians from the Little tank station of Hachita. The latest report of the whereabouts of the raiders placed them 50 miles south of the ranch, driving 25 of Parker's horses ahead of them. It is believed the cavalry detachment from Culberson's will be the first to strike, as they are far in advance of the other forces.
The first report of the raid and the murderous attack on Parker and his wife was received at Columbus when a breathless, hatless rider dashed into the military camp there. He was an employee of the Parker ranch.
Attacked in Night.
Disconnectedly he told of shots in the night which awakened him. Mounted and armed Mexicans were shooting into the windows and through the doors of the place. Parker was killed in his own bedroom and then Mrs. Parker was shot and instantly killed.
The firing continued for some time. The few employees of the ranch endeavored to get their arms and defend the house, but the Mexicans, after looting the place and herding the horses in the corral together, galloped away, shouting "Viva Mexico!" and "Viva La Patria!" Everything was in disorder at Parker's ranch. It is a little adobe settlement 36 miles southwest of Hachita, in a lonely spot of the Palayas valley. Parker and his wife, who had been married little over three months, had been afraid of an attack on their ranch and had written of their fears to Hachita.
WILL USE FILMS IN FIGHT FOR PRESIDENCY
Democratic Managers Plan an Extensive Campaign by Means of Pictures.
Washington, D. C.—In the fight for the re-election of President Wilson the Democratic national committee will employ moving pictures. A campaign of this kind has been decided upon at conferences between President Wilson and Vance McCormick, chairman of the Democratic national committee. This novel feature will be handled through a specially organized bureau. It is the intention not only to feature President Wilson in films all over the country, together with striking epigrammatical sentences and brief excerpts from his speeches, but to portray the work of the administration in many of the big departments of the government.
Unless plans are changed, charges of neglect in the army and navy department and of slackness in the matter of preparation for national defense will be answered by showing pictures of army and navy activities the past three years. With this will be thrown upon the screen figures showing the appropriations for military and other purposes by the last two congresses compared with the appropriations by preceding congresses.
The whole plan will be an elaboration of the practice of carrying the campaign appeal direct to the voters as first inaugurated in municipal campaigns in Cleveland.
Indications are that the political managers of President Wilson and Charles E. Hughes, Republican nominee, are jockeying for advantage in the matter of notification speeches. The rival managers appear to think the advantage will lie with the one having the last say. Accordingly both sides are postponing decision as to the date for the formal notification ceremony.
Guilty of Murder
Akron, O.—A verdict of murder in the first degree, but with a recommendation of clemency, was returned by the jury in Judge Fritche's court against Peter Fabian, charged with the death of Joseph Fergussen. The jury was out five hours. Fabian heard the verdict without filinching. Fergussen was stabbed to the heart the night before last Thanksgiving as he came out of a saloon. The state alleged that Fabian, an Austrian, had killed Fergussen in the belief that he was a Serbian.
Frees Woman Slayer.
Muskogee, Okla.—Mrs. Ida Hadley, slayer of Sheriff Jake Giles of Beaumont, Tex. was found not guilty of murder by a jury in the district court here, on the ground that she is insane. Her husband, Paul Hadley, was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. Giles was shot on a railway train near here several weeks ago. He was taking Hadley as a prisoner to Texas and Mrs. Hadley had been given permission to accompany them from Kansas City, where he was arrested.
GINGHAM IS BACK
Gingham is coming back into fashion. Its more luxurious sister checked linen, has been raised to the top notch of style, and the American
Afternoon Frock With Yellow Taffet Bodie and Organdie Skirt Trimmed With Bands of Blue Velvet. The Collar in the Bodie and the Sash Are of the Velvet.
makers of the commonplace Scotch fabric have immediately put it out on the counters.
The wide and the small checks form the leading design. The square of color may be bright or dark blue, black, apple green or golden brown, and if you want to be in the forefront of fashion, remember to use the check rather than the stripe.
The prophets say that the popularity of the latter is on the wane and that polka dots and squares will grow in power with the sun. The polka dot is already dancing about the town. One already has the chance to wonder, with Peter Sewell, that if, when passing a girl wearing a polka-dot frock, one played a little tune, would the dots come out to dance? The trouble is that one does not have a flute or a mouth organ in the pocket at the right moment. Well, the polka dots and the checks will surely shelve the stripes, and linen, tussor and gingham are the fabrics that bear these designs once again, as in the sane and wiser days when women dressed according to the climate. For decades, it has been an American joke that if a man turned up his trousers, it was raining in London, which was merely an admission to man's slavishness to English fashions; but recently, women have worn the fashions of ice St. Moritz on the hottest days of an American August.
The American climate calls for cotton, linen and Chinese silks when it is at its worst, from the fifteenth of June to the fifteenth of September.
Gingham is cheap and most admirable frocks of it can be made at home; and with its advent into fashion, women should make the best of it. The blue and white checked linen is also admirable, even if a bit more expensive than gingham, and the dressmakers have already turned to it for frocks for garden parties and even for afternoon weddings in the open.
The emphasis that fashion allows us to put upon belts and girdles allows us to swing a gown into significance through this means.
USE FOR CRASH REMNANTS
Great Number of Useful Articles May Be Made If One Has the Time to Spare.
Often in her rambles in the shops the watchful needlewoman will be able to pick up small remnants of crash, just a little too long for towels or of too fine a quality. These she can make up into numerous artistic and useful articles if she but takes the time.
There is a new kind of fudge apron which calls for a fine crash towelling. A straight piece of towelling about three-quarters of a yard long makes the front of the apron, reaching to the shoulders. To this are attached straps which pass over the shoulders, cross in black and fasten to the front piece just at the waistline at the sides. This is a little cool apron than the kind which slips over the head, and has an entire back of the crash and re
Good Supply of Adjustable and Wash able Collars and Cuffs Makes for Appearance.
Like Phoebe Snow, of travel fame, the girl who is well supplied with adjustable collars and cuffs of washable and cleanless materials will always be smart and good to look upon. These are requisites of the wardrobe one can hardly do without, if we are to be presentable with a limited wardrobe at home or traveling abroad. Widely different in design and fabric they are, yet excellent in style and easily obtained, for shops generally are supplied with very good assortments of these essential accessories of dress. The severely tailored set is to be had in crush, linen and woolen fabrics that are easily cleaned. Machine stitching and covered button molds give the snappy trimming touch. Dainter and more feminine is the crisp white organdie set with ruffles of accordion-plaited net. Organdie-covered buttons set out in trim rows, and well
quires less material, a yard being almost enough. A suitable cross-stitch design is worked at the bottom of the apron, and the entire edge is blanket-stitched with blue, even to the joinings of the straps at the shoulder line. Snaps under covered buttons hold the straps at the sides.
A mending bag of generous proportions can be made from a length of narrow crash. The top is slightly curved out to fit the waist and a belt of crash starts from one side and snaps at the other. The bottom is turned up into a deep pocket, which is embellished on the outside with a design of scattered buttons, spools of thread, scissors, etc. The entire edge of the bag is blanket-stitched.
COLORING RUGS AND CARPETS
If Not Too Much Worn It Will Pay to Freshen Them—How It Should Be Done.
If the faded ingrain or other carpet shows no holes, it will pay to color it. After beating it and cleaning all spots with soap and water or gasoline lay it flat on the floor and follow the directions on the package. Apply while hot with a scrubbrush. This will color one side. Fiber rugs and plain carpets may be freshened wonderfully in this manner. Use light blue on a blue rug, tan or orange for brown, light green for a green rug. Do not get the dye too dark or the rug will look muddy.
To remove ink from a rug or carpet, immediately sop sweet milk over the spot and dry as much as possible with a dry cloth. Then apply gasoline to take out the grease that the milk would otherwise leave. To remove soot from a carpet sprinkle the spot with salt. Let the salt remain on the spot for about twenty minutes, then sweep it hard with a broom. The spot will disappear.

SUMMER FASHIONS
The peplum is still with us. Many summer blouses are made with a short skirt—like Russian blouses—or a shorter peplum that is worn outside the skirt.
Striped parasols are effective with plain colored or white suits.
Some of the new boudoir caps—which are often called negligee caps now, by the way—are made like children's bonnets, with strings to tie under the chin.
Pockets are more and more capacious. Many of the new linen frocks for summer wear have huge pockets, almost like bags, applied on the skirts.
A charming new hat is trimmed with real butterflies, properly dried, and placed under white tulle for protection.
New Coiffures.
Brush the hair smoothly back from the forehead, then place three little curls at the nape of the neck.
Wave the hair, part in the middle and place a few curls over the ears and a top knot at the crown of the head, or the hair may be combed straight back with two curls falling over each ear.
Draw the hair softly back over forehead and ears and place two puffs at the crown of the head.
Brush the hair very smoothly back in French-knot style and place a large fancy pin in the most becoming place.
spaced tucks give distinction to this set.
Quilt Protector.
Quilt or blanket protectors, stamped for embroidery, cost 35 cents. They are strips of sheer lawn to tack over the end of the quilt or blanket that comes at the head of the bed, in contact with the face. They can be simply hemmed or edged with a narrow valce, fulled on. The patterns for embroidery are simple and can be done in white cotton or in colored cotton to match the stripe in the blanket or the figure in the comforter.
Shades of 1830.
A quint dress of brown satin attracted much notice on Fifth Avenue the other day. The skirt was ruffled to the hips with scant bias frills two inches wide. The front was slit to the waist and rippled back over a white organdie petticoat, trimmed with innumerable rows of ruffled black moire ribbon. The coat waist was short and tight fitting and fastened in the front by two frogs of gold braid.
