WEAVER National Organization Founded by the Late, Dr. Booker T. Washington to Convince in Seventeenth Annual Session Aug. 16—People of Vicinity Cooperating With Local League. Kansas City, Mo.—Fortune J. Weaver and his wife, together with others, are making great preparation for the entertainment of the National Negro Business league which meets here Aug. 16. It promises to be one of the largest sessions in the history of the league. Kansas City and all the surrounding towns will be in their glory, and those who come from all sections of the country, representing varied interests, will be highly entertained by the local citizens, whose plans are completed for the reception of delegates and visitors. Mr. Weaver is one of the most aggressive men in the city and is a leader in the National Negro Business league. He is one of the men who have made their way up step by step. He recognizes Council Grove, Kan, as the place MR. AND MRS. P. J. WEAVER. of his birth, May S. 1874. He was just budding into manhood when he married Miss Lizzie Stewart. Of this union one child was born, Fortune Weaver, Jr. The first Mrs. Weaver died shortly after her son's birth. In September, 1901, Mr. Weaver was married to Miss Bessie May Henderson of Atchison, Kan. Of this union Compton is an active man in the affairs of Kuwait City and in the National Negro Business league. In 1904 on a small scale and without capital he started in the real estate business, securing tenants and purginsers for property owned by other people. He was also the housekeeper to twelve persons, to twelve persons, and to keep busy all the time. During the year 1914 he sold homes to 200 people of his race in some of the best sections of Kansas City. He or her husband and employment company. This was in 1904, and up to that time modern homes for the race in this section were few. Most of the people lived in shacks, basements and over barns and in alleyes. Opening wedges through the guarantee plan of the company were driven, and the company then iden got into the minds of the people. THE GAZETTE JUDGE JOHN H. CLARKE Judge John Hessen Clarke of the United States street court for the northern district of Ohio was nominated by President Wilson to be an associate Justice of the United States supreme court to succeed Charles E. Hughes. His home is in Clove-land. RELIGION CRAZED, NEGRO KILLS FOUR Slayer and-Wife Are Shot to Death by Police; Blew Up House With Dynamite. Chicago, Ill.-H. J. Mellytre, a negro religious famine, becoming violently insane, shot four persons to death, wounded three and was himself killed with his wife after 150 police had dynamited the house in which he was barricaded. Hundreds of shots were exchanged between the crazed slayer and the police who besieged him in the street, after three charges of dynamite had been exploited and an officer, in the structure with gunling, Mellytre and his wife, armed with powerful wires, were shot to death. The police were held at bay for more than an hour. Mellytre's wife is supposed to have assisted him at least to the extent of releasing his weapons, as a cartridge belt was found around her waist similar to the one worn by her husband. Her head was blown off by the explosion of dynamite. The explosion of the rear porch of the Mileton into the alley, and when the police were able to enter the building, it was a wreck. They found, an explanation of Mellytre's deed in a note which he left scrawled in lead pencil on a soiled piece of wrapping paper. "The Almighty God has made me a prophet unto all nations, and also wife, Hattie Mellytre," ran the note. "You shall know that the Lord has sent me to gather unto the Lord the remnant of the Atomic seed." The police scrawled the negro wrote three capital C's and the initials "P. H." "The Lord has made me the savior of all Africans of America, and now I shall recommend all that are worthy unto my Heavenly Father, the Great God of all creation.

GERMANS RALLY AGAINST BRITISH Win Ground on Somme Front, but Later Are Forced to Again Retire. BOMBARDING FRENCH LINE Look for Resumption of Storming Actions by Germans; Russian Forces Hold Important Passes in, Carpathians. London, England—Gen. Haig's British and colonial troops have progressed easily over the ground lost in Tuesday night's counter attacks by the Germans. In the fighting, much of which was at close quarters and of great fury, the British, according to the commander in chief's report and news dispatches from the front, have regained the greater part of Delville wood and are again in almost complete possession of the village of Longuevau. The German counter offensive has been brought to a definite halt, according to all indications and the Albert salient, which Gen. Haig's forces have been deepening and strengthening for two weeks, has now resumed practically the same contour it presented before the key right counter blow. Four German attempts to regain the important Waterloo farm have been repulsed, Gen. Haig reports. Temporarily Halted. Temporarily at least the British offensive has been held up by the German resistance. The Tentions still hold part of Longuevau and maintain themselves in portions of the Delville Dispatches from Berlin describe the great confidence felt there that Haapame and Peronne will withstand the blows of the French and British. That the German general staff views the situation with equanimity is indicated by the fact that foreign newspaper correspondents were notified that they may visit the front point on that matter, and that they must prefer. The Germans attacks drove back the British for a distance of almost a mile. The Germans have opened up a general bombardment along the east front north of Verdun extending from hill 304 west of the Musee to Fleury and Eparges on the east. That the bombardment is the burial of storing actions is the belief in military circles. Dispatches from Amsterdam indicate that Verdun will fall within the month. The confidence of the French, however, is quiet and unshaken. Reports from Paris tells of the bombardment, but says that no infantry actions have yet taken place. Rolling Steadily On The Russian tide is rolling steadily on in the rear of the Amstrian army. In Transylvania two important army passages have been established, Griffith, have been gained, according to official reports from Petrograd, indicating that the invasion of Hungary has begun. After a day of comparative inactivity, the Russians have brought up heavy reinforcements of infantry and cavalry and have resumed a strong aggressive on the headwaters of the Moldava. The mounted hosts are moving the rear of Gen. Phanzer's forces between the Kimping and Kuly, the The Austrian infantry is showing rare courage in meeting all attacks and filling the ground in front of the trenches with Russian dead. Correspondents on the southeastern front intimate that the time is approaching when the Austrians will assume the offensive. CAPTURE SUPPLY TRAIN CAPTURE SUPPLY TRAIN SIX CARRANZISTA TROOPERS ARE KILLED AND TEN CARLAROBS OF FOOD TAKEN. El Paso, Tex. -- Six of Carranza's soldiers were killed in the Villista attack upon a Mexican government supply train at Palomas, Chihuahua, Monday, according to private dispatches here. The train bore ten carloads of food and ammunition destined for the defacto government garrisons along the railroad to the west of Chihuahua City. Other reports reaching here said that a band of about 50 outfits under Nicholas Hernandez, also is operating in the village of Palomas, 23 miles south of Chihuahua City. The main band of Villa followers making its way through the Rio Florido bottoms toward the Durango border consists of less than 800 men, and is being sorely pressed by Gen. Matías Ramos' troops, according to Mexican reports. Postmaster Removed. Washington, D. C. — Postoffice department officials admitted that Dr. George W. McNeil, postmaster at Pittsburgh, had been dismissed from George W. McNeil, postmaster at the service for "failure to co-operate with the department." They said Dr. McNeil refused to carry out instructions with a reorganization designed to increase the efficiency of the office. A. S. Guffey, acting as postmaster at Pittsburgh, was nominated by President Wilson to succeed Dr. McNeil. Gen. A. B. Scott is among the British commanders who are most active in the drive against the Germans on the west front. Floods Do Property Damage Estimated at $1,0,000,000; Hundreds Fameless. Almanta, Ga. Very serious floods in North Carolina. South Carolina and Virginia caused five, known deaths, rumbled hundreds of miles, damaged property and erased to the extent of flooding, according to first estimates, and demolished railway, telegraph and telephone communication.

Many are marooned in their residences along the river and resente parties for hours have fought their way against the rushing current in an effort to reach them. A Southern river train supposed to travel North Wilkesboro has not been heard from, while one that started from Winston-Salem to that town had to stop at Elkin. Residents of Jonesville and adjacent towns are moving to high land. Swift streams are flowing down some of the streets of lower Ashville. The Southern railway station is flooded to a depth of six feet as all other buildings in the city are without power, but otherwise is not affected. Throughout western North Carolina the situation is reported serious. Two dams at Hendersonville collapsed releasing hundreds of tons of water and fears are felt for the big dam at Lake Toway. **King Saved, Guards Burn.** Atlens, via Paris, France. — King Constantine had a narrow escape from death in the fire which destroyed the royal residence at Tatol last week.

Orpheus has been found not guilty of the murder of his sweetheart, Marion Lambert. On the fourth ballot the jury agreed on a verdict. From the first only one juror thought the state had proven that the cyanide of potassium, which caused the school girl's death, had been given to her in the guise of medicine by the young college student. After these votes this juror went over to the majority. Speculation now is whether he will wed Celestia Youkner. DEATH TOLL RISES IN SOUTH FLOODS Total Number of Lives Lost Now Placed at Fifty; Relief Parties at Work. Waters Rising in South Carolina; Seven Bodies Found in Houses Carried 15 Miles From Original Location. Ashville, N. C. While the an- thorities are consistently deprived the death toll at 60 in the re- cords, relief parties with supplies were hurrying out to stricken districts. Reports of the finding of more bodies, and of destination, are com- ing in hourly. Though flood waters, were receding in North Carolina, Tennessee and V irginia, the Waters river in South Carolina, the White River in North Costa officials reported two bridges on their lines had flooded, with a congestion interruption of service. Property Loss of Millions. A property loss variously estimated at from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 has been caused since the waters rose Sunday. The bodies of three women, two men and two children were discovered near Ronda, Wilkes county, in two houses cast ashore by the flood water of the Yadkin river, according to a message received at Winston-Salem, N.

EASTERN OHIO HIT BY A CLOUDBURST Portsmouth Streets Flooded River Shifts Course, Runs Upstream; Heavy Damages. Portsmouth, O.—A cloudburst flooded the principal streets of Portsmouth. Water stood from one to two feet deep in the main thoroughfares, the rainfall exceeding three inches in the space of two hours. Street car traffic was delayed and many of the homes and stores were flooded. Gallipolls, O.—With the Great Kanawa河 river swollen by a cloudburst at Radford, the Ohio river shifted its course for 26 miles above the mouth of the Kanawa and ran upstream. Property loss in the Kanawa valley was large, coal companies and businesses being heavily. The Ile-de-France Coal Co. is a heavy loser. Chillicothe, O.—The small streams and sewers in Chillicothe and vicinity overflowed and it is estimated thousand of dollars' damage had been done, the result of a near cloudburst here.

Blakeslee confessed to shooting Gates and to attempting to commit suicide. He claimed self-defense. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. EX-LIEUT. HENRY O. FLIPPER Carrizal Was Not the First Mexican Casualty. The Fight at Parral Was Like the One at Carrizal. El Paso, Texas, July 10, 1916. "My Dear Mr. Smith: — I note in the Gatehouse of the New York,Globe, to the effect that "it is the same Tenth that has the honor of suffering the FIRST casualties in a war which, if it occurs will result, in the annexation of Mexico from an anarchy comparable to that which afflicted,Cuba. I have seen similar statements in a THE LIGHT OF DIVINE GOD Ex-Lieut, Henry O. Flipper. Thousands and thousands of people of many nationalities saw it with hats of it. It was a most impressive sight. The badges were the dead in rebellion uniforms resealed in the zinc collisions and these placed in fine coffins and the latter in outer wooden cases for shipment. Lieut. Adair's body was shipped to his home in Oregon. The one soldier identified was shipped to his home in Georgia. Capt. Boyd seemed to have no relatives and his body and those of the unidentified soldiers were shipped to Arlington and buried in the national cemetery. Sample Uncle Sigm has honored his dead. The only thing lacking is to send an army into the country to avenge their death. If the Tenth ever gets into another fight with Mexicans, God have mercy on HENRY O. FLIPPER. (Concluded Next Week.)

SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1916. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work and to understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The announcement that President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's managers will call the movies to their aid in the campaign, reminds us anew of the possibilities of the faked film. The Gazette enters its 34th year with its next issue. So next Saturday is its 34th birthday. No, we have no objections to your "remembering" it as you may see fit, just so the "remembrance" is pleasing. Carranza's note is described as "paving the way" for an avoidance of hostilities. We are not enamored of this "paving" business. As we recall it, the road to a most undesirable destination is said to be paved with good intentions. The excuses that many of our leading editors are giving for not contributing to the "Press Testimonial Fund" would make interesting reading if we were permitted to publish them. Then, there are the brethren who were apparently "thirsting" for an opportunity to contribute to such a fund for Editor Trotter, judging from their editorial expressions, but who have not done so as yet. Confreres, this "Press Testimonial Fund" effort is furnishing us, and many others, a world of information, some of which is very amusing. WILSON AND CLEVELAND. Woodrow Wilson has presented in a pen picture the strong contrasts between himself and Grover Cleveland. In his history of the American People Wilson says that Cleveland was of the "open and downright sort that all men who love strength must always relish," that business men had confidence in him because he had successful business experience of his own, that long apprenticeship in affairs made it plain to him how men were to be handled, and that his close "acquaintance with the personal side of party combination was the basis of his political sagacity." In all these respects Wilson differs from Cleveland Wilson is secretive, not open. He had no successful business experience—in fact he boasts of his lack of business experience. His want of acquaintance with the personal side of party affairs accounts for his lack of political sagacity. His weakness in all these respects will explain the frequent need for his changing his mind upon important public questions. No successful business man would need to change his mind so often in his private affairs. No man could make a success of private business on such small experience as Wilson's. Neither should anyone be surprised that Wilson has made such a dismal failure as chief executive of a nation of a hundred million people. EVERYBODY HELP WILBERFORCE Wilberforce university recently held its fifty-third commencement. There is a proposition on the part of the state to extend special aid to the university for a period of four years in order to enable it to plant itself upon a more commanding plane. To meet this movement on the part of the state, Wilberforce needs to raise fifty-thousand dollars, thus assuring its future, and making it not only the monument of its founders, but the pride and glory of the race. The campaign to secure this amount will be started in this city, the last of this month, when a strong "team" in a mass meeting will present the matter to the citizens of Cleveland. Former Wilberforce students residing here are expected to be especially active in this effort and it is hoped to secure 100 ten dollar and 200 five dollar subscriptions. This is Chaplain T. G. Stewart's plan and he is just the man to see that it is carried to perfect success. He is vice-president of the university. Dr. Stewart writes The Gazette that no money will be handled by the team, all subscriptions being sent to the secretary of the university at Wilberforce. We urge our people in Cleveland, Ohio, and throughout the country, and their friends of all races, to take the interest in this effort it surely merits. Capt Stewart writes: "We are going to raise that fifty-thou- sand dollars." That's the spirit; and it will be done, too. EVERYBODY HELP! PHRASE-MAKING - SINGRE AND OTHERWISE. Woodrow Wilson has enjoyed a wide reputation as a phrase-maker. Not only in this country, but in all the foreign offices of the world, his facility to spin the English language into fine phrases has been recognized. But he is no longer the only one. Hughes has shown that he, too, is a maker of phrases. His "undiluted Americanism" added to the vigorous sentences of his prompt and stirring telegram to Senator Harding put him at once into the first rank of those who use the mother tongue with purpose and punch. If the contest of 1916 were to be confined to this particular we can see how the pursists would have a most delightful summer—and it is probable that this form of rivalry will play a large part in the details of the campaign. The voters, however, will be looking beyond the form of statement this year; they will be seeking the substance. Here Hughes will have the President at a great disadvantage. Not only will he equal if not surpass the President in the manner of his expression of the vital issues of the canvass, but he will make his utterances in such fashion as to carry conviction. Wilson regards words as an end. He thinks that a smart phrase fulfills his complete duty in almost any contingency. Not so Mr. Hughes. He regards words as only a means to a clearer understanding of convictions and of duty. His words ring with sincerity. Behind them is a man of character and earnestness. Through them the average reader or the ave rage man who hears him speak can all ways discern the true metal of a genuine soul. His rhetoric is sustained by his record. DR. FRISSELL OF HAMPTON LACKS VISION. At the National Educational Conference held in New York recently, many interesting speeches were made setting forth the education that should be given the youth of America. This includes American as well as foreign born youths. The principal of Hampton, Va., Institute, is quoted as stating that vocational training is the kind the country should give its colored race. We cannot understand how any man truly interested in our race, could lay down as a rule vocational training as the main education. Certainly the view is a very narrow one and does not at all meet the needs of any people now in America. We are opposed to the view stated by Mr. Frissell for many reasons: First, vocational education for our people, as held out by Mr. Frissell, is a surrender to prejudice which formerly forbade our people having any education and when forced to abandon that position decided that industrial education, the education to do mental things, was the only kind it would tolerate. Very evident, Mr. Frissell has taken this point of view. Second, vocational training for our people means caste education. Not only in actual operation does it set a line beyond which our people as a race should not go but it also trains the race to feel that this education is the goal of its possibilities and achievements in America. Third, this vocational training is not given in good faith for there is no propaganda whereby one of our youth masterly trained in his vocation, can hope to enter his profession and become efficient, unless it is in something that does not come in competition with white men or women. With all the money given Hampton and Tuskegee schools there has been no concerted effort to open the door of opportunity in lucrative vocational branches for our people. Unless this door is open it is folly to continue multiplying the supply when there is no demand. Not one-fifth of the students from the two great industrial schools for our people can get employment in their professions. Fourth, by specializing vocational training for our race, there is at least the implied assertion that the race is incapable of taking in the education that other Americans are taking in. Most assuredly this is false. If they do not intend to assert this then Mr. Frissell and his sympathizers are guilty of attempting to segregate the race even in the kind of training they should have. Either end of the dilemma is ignoble. Fifth, no people in America needs the stimulating influences of every kind of education more than ours. Especially do we need it in the great professions as well as in teaching and in general dissemination of intelligence which makes a civilized and enlightened race. Sixth, we are not opposed to vocational training but we would have it given our race as it is given every other race. No condition exists that dictates the giving of any one kind of education to our race. Psychologically a condition may exist with Mr. Frissell and his followers which would like to continue an education among our people that makes them satisfied with their present condition in America—not for their good but for the continued abnormal pride of prejudiced persons who do not desire our people educated at all. Seventh, at this time it is very necessary that all Americans be given the same opportunity that this country affords in order that she may be defended by a satisfied constituency whenever she is attacked from without. It comes with bad grace from Mr. Frissell, who is the successor of Gen. Armstrong. We wish Hampton school to get all of the money possible to aid it in doing a better work but we are opposed to any attempt to corner the money-market for Hampton in this case. Besides, if Mr. Frissell's advise prevails, the race is doomed to be the "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for other American races. No man is fit to teach our race whose vision limits it to so narrow a place. Hampton has done good, but if a new era of race inferiority is to be spread by exclusive "vocational training," its usefulness is in the past. Millions of our people are now in the North East THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1916. and West, and whenever anything for "the colored people" is approved in the South it is immediately heralded everywhere as the proper thing for the race. We hope the Press misquoted the Hampton principal. If not, he has placed himself out of joint with our people. It is very easy to spread an obnoxious system and ere long our people everywhere will be prescribed in their education. The time has passed when certain white men should assume to tell the world what we want and should have. Besides, it is an injustice to the schools that have given the race its manhood, scholarship, educated leaders, professional men and women, for any man to seek to draw away from such schools the money necessary to equip them. If vocational education is the kind the race should have, the other kinds he should not have; hence a blow at the essential progress of the race. Give our race, like all races, a symmetrical education that will enable it to cope with all races in the struggle for existence in America. Any other, is a violation of the Americanism that should prevail in this country. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD Cinchnati, O., July 18, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Harry:—Kindly pardon delay. I sent to Trotter two dollars a few weeks ago and two dollars several months ago. I think he has worked nobly for the best interests of the race and has taken as those of the head rather than the heart. I therefore cheerfully for ward to your fund enclosed check for one dollar. Mrs. Geraldine L. Trotter's Letter. 27 Cornhill, Boston, July 6, 1916. Dear Mr. Smith:—I am sending under another cover the cut of Mr. Troter, you have asked for. He was at the Mass. Homeopathic hospital. At present he is out, convalescing. The operation on his neck was successful the strain of full service at the office owing to his weakened condition. We look forward to his being fully restored to strength in a month's time. He works some now but we wish he would not be so good. Your generous editorial is much appreciated by us. As will be seen, by reference to the foregoing, Editor Trotter is out of the hospital and convalescing. Several weeks ago we read in his paper, the Guardian, a statement to the effect that his physician had advised his remaining in the hospital for three months, and that funds were needed. We were under the impression that he would be unable to do anything to help him himself and family, until the receipt of Mrs. Trotter's letter, published above. In view of the fact that he is not confined to a hospital bed and is not wholly incapacitated, we shall forward him through our friend, Chairman J. R. Clifford, dean of the Afro-American editorial corps, what contributions have been received. Mr. will be seen in the three to the letter. Mr. Trotter acknowledges the letter in The Gazette as we have those received to date, Thursday) and suspend further appeal for contributions to the fund. Harry C. Smith. CARRIZAL DEAD BURIED. Washington, D. C.—The bodies of six troopers killed at Carrizal were buried in Arlington cemetery with full military honors. A squadron of the Second Infantry escorted the bodies to the cemetery. Secretary Baker and Maj. Gen. Scott, chief of staff of the army, attended the service, which was conducted by Chaplair George L. Bayard of the navy. When a bugler had sounded taps members of the National Memorial Association covered the new-made graves with flowers. Lieut.-Col. Allen Allnorths, a major and chaplain in our regiments of the U.

BAIL FIXED AT $5,000 Lorain, O—On Sunday evening July 16, the president of our local Woman's Association was notified that a white brute here had assaulted three of our little children, 7, 11 and 12 years of age.

But hath some memory of the past To love and call its own. Not to know contentment is one of the saddest plights a woman can be placed in. To have so much money that her every wish may be grat- ified is a doubt- ful blessing to many a woman. Many a wife of wealth does not know what a happy home life means. MARY The majority of rich women spend their time as they like and make no complaint if their husbands do likewise. If he is satisfied to spend three or four eve- nings a week at his different clubs, entertaining his coterie of congenial friends on his yacht or motoring trips for weeks at a time, she makes no Date Bars. Take a cupful of dates chopped fine, add a cupful of walnut meats, add three-fourths of a cupful of sugar to two well beaten yolks, then add six tablespoonfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, teaspoonful of salt, and add the dates and nuts, then fold in the beaten whites. Bake in a sheet and cut in bars the size of a nabisco wafer. Plain cottage cheese well seasoned and served on lettuce with a boiled dressing makes a most satisfying salad and one easy to prepare. Cheese Custard. Butter a baking dish, put in a layer of bread cut in inch squares, sprinkle with thinly sliced cheese, dust with salt and paprika and a few grains of cayenne. Add other layers of bread and cheese, seasoning as before until half of a small loaf is used, one cupful of cheese and a half teaspoonful of salt. Beat two eggs slightly, add one pint of milk and pour the mixture over the bread and cheese. Bake half an hour in a moderate oven. Aberdeen Sandwiches. Heat one-quarter of a cupful of chopped cold tongue and half a cupful of veal or chicken with a half cupful of gravy and two tablespoonfuls of curry powder, mixed with enough water to form a paste, simmer together five minutes, then cool. Cook slices of bread until brown in a little butter, drain and spread with the mixture and heat over hot water. Serve hot. Lyonnaise String Beans. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter add a finely sliced onion and sauté to a delicate brown; add a quart of string beans, cooked, a dash of pepper, a grating of nutmeg and a little salt; heat thoroughly, tossing the beans occasionally; add a teaspoonful of minced parsley, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and another tablespoonful of butter in bits, and serve at once. Minced Ham. To each cupful of finely minced ham add a tablespoonful of fine bread crumbs softened with milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. heat thoroughly and spread on rounds of moist buttered toast. Place a poached egg on each slice. Corn Oysters. Take a cupful of kornetet, add two well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of paprika. Drop by spoonfuls into a hot buttered frying pan, brown on both sides. Nellie Maxwell There exists in one of our great western cities a unique secret club—called by the members Get-Out and Get-On club. It was organized 17 years ago by 10 ambitious men who looked upon themselves as not yet having won success. Membership for 12 years has been limited to 50. The rules are what makes this club differ- A Mystery of the Sea. Tliefsch are again being caught in sufficient numbers to become a simple article of food in America. They are handsomely colored fish, and very good to eat, but thirty years ago millions of them died in a mysterious way, and it was thought that they thus became extinct. In the beginning of 1882 fishermen and others made amazing reports of having sailed through miles of dead and dying tliefsch by the coast of the United States. The whole area covered by dead fish was reckoned to be 170 miles long and 25 miles wide. More than 1,400,000 fish had died. The actual reason was never proved, but from temperature tests it was assumed that a sudden chill in the water accounted for the blight. An Individual Lifeboat. "Carry your own lifeboat," is the motto of an Italian inventor, G. Piperno, who has visited England with what is probably the most ambitious lifesaving appliance on record. --- denur. They are both in the mund pursuit of pleasure, if it takes them by different routes. Whose fault is it? Even children do not bind them to the four walls of home. The boys are sent at an early age to preparatory schools and then to college, and girls likewise. Ever their vacations they elect to spend with their girl or boy chums, explain J Mabel Normand. Popular comedienne who now heads her own company and has a studio of her own. POULTRY POINTERS Too many beginners make the mistake of trying to raise four or five breeds or varieties of poultry. This is a serious mistake as very few experienced poultry men, let alone a beginner, can make a success of more than one breed. "One breed breed right" is better than two bred wrong. Buying eggs is a mighty cheap way of getting new blood. In many cases we can procure eggs from birds that simply couldn't be bought at all. In many case, a single bird raised from a setting of eggs, is worth many times the cost of the entire setting. Hens that are set during hot weather should be given a reasonably cool and comfortable place. If they are set where it is hot during the day or night they are likely to overheat the eggs and sometimes become so uncomfortable that they leave the nest. Fowls and chicks that are kept in yards must have a good supply of tender, fresh green food every morning. Fresh cut young clover, fed while the dew is on, is good for this purpose. Separate the growing cockerels from the pullets, and give the former an extra allowance of food, especially if you are growing them for market. Great size of an abdominal pouch in a goose indicates great age, a fact that is useful in purchasing breeding stock. Never try to keep a hen with chicks after she wants to ween them for if you do, she is likely to injure them and perhaps kill some. A few guineas on every farm will eat a lot of bad bugs and grow into semigame for some epicurea's table. They bring good prices. There is no better way to aid the enemy by allowing filth to abound. A lousy hen eventually becomes a diseased one. No green food is better enjoyed than fresh lawn clippings, which are a treat to both old and young stock. Glass Always Best It pays to put up fruit products in glass. ent. No member may call himself a success until the club votes him one, and when the club votes any member a success he is expelled and his place is filled by another. But before a success is expelled a dinner is in his honor and to welcome the new member. At this dinner the success must read a paper explaining to his fellows how and why he won. These papers are preserved.—American Magazine. When not in use the apparatus is packed into what looks like a man's suitcase, measuring 24 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches, and weighing 20 pounds. When disaster is imminent the passenger brings the suitcase on deck, breaks the seal, and the apparatus opens out and becomes a small boat. If it is necessary to abandon the ship, the passenger steps into his private boat, closes the outer cover, and launches his craft by hurling himself overboard. Then, according to Mr. Pirperno, the apparatus rights itself in the water, the top cover is thrown open, and the occupant finds himself sitting in an absolutely unsinkable ship. Taking Nitric Acid From Air. All the explosives used in this worldwar are formed from such apparently harmless bodies as cotton, glycerin, and tar products, by treating them with nitric acid, the strength of which has to be maintained by admixture with sulphuric acid. Until quite latey the nitric acid essential for the pro- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1916 ing: "Why should we go home—father or mother is never there. One is in the mountains for the summer, the other, who cannot endure mountain scenery, is at the seashore." Few of the restless rich women set any tasks for themselves. Once in a while one hears of an Anne Morgan who is an exception to the rule, who sees to it that many a struggling working girl, too poor to afford a vacation, gets a few weeks' outing at her expense before planning where she will go herself. It was she who started the cult among the rich of making the lives of the working class happier, more worth the living. Some few followed in Anne Morgan's footsteps. The majority, soon weared of making personal efforts to bring joy into lonely lives, contenting themselves by sending a check when it was impossible to evade it, to be used or not used for the purpose designated, it did not matter much to them. It was therefore left with the few to carry on the good work. There would be less restlessness among rich women and more contented hearts if each one would set an allotted task for herself of bringing joy to at least one poor, deserving household, finding employment for a brave ldu who could not find employment because of lack of influence, or keeping a sick mother whose starving brood, clung to her skirts, to tide over the cruel weeks of illness in her own home without having to break it up, her children placed in institutions to be gathered together again about her knee; perhaps never. Restlessness would soon vanish if women would but make themselves as useful as ornamental in this great busy workaday world. To each one is given an allotted task. Those who shirk will be held accountable later on. WASHINGTON PLAYERS ALL SWEAR BY WALT JOHNSON Star Hurler's Disposition Is as Valuable an Asset to Him as His Wonderful Pitching Arm. With few exceptions star ball players bring about a condition on a team which proves detrimental to its success. Walter Johnson, however, is a player who differs from most stars in this respect. Were it left to a vote of the players he would be unanimously chosen as the most popular man on the team, and it's all because of the ideal disposition of the young man who holds the distinction of being the greatest pitcher in the game today. Johnson's success has never affected his head. He is wearing the same sized hat today that he wore the eve- C HARRIS & LEWING Walter Johnson. ning he reported from Weiser, Ind. He does not consider himself above obeying orders and never objects to anything he is told to do. But, best of all, he is loyal to his team and his teammates. He roots hard for the other pitchers, and has never been known to complain when errors have lost him a ball game. Johnson's disposition is as valuable to him as that wonderful pitching arm, and there is never a time when every man on the team with him is not trying to do everything possible to help him win. duction of the explosives now in use could be made only by distilling such nitrates as those of potassium and sodium with sulphuric acid, and if we had still been dependent on this source, all the powers engaged in the present war would have been stalemated by want of explosives, so enormous has been the amount of acid used. During the last few years, however, methods have been discovered for making nitric acid from the air, and at the present time, wherever cheap water power can be obtained for the generating of electricity, the acid is being produced in sufficient quantities to make up the necessary amount. Use for Old Magazines Magazines are often thrown away because of the rapidity with which they accumulate. Since most readers care to save only certain articles, a good plan is to tear the magazines apart, removing the desired articles and binding them in a separate volume. If this is carefully and systematically done, and an index prepared, the volume will be of value and interest. PRETTY THINGS FOR THE CHILD CITY SHOPS HAVE BEGUN TO PROVIDE FOR CUSTOMERS. Adaptations of French Models Are to Be Seen on All Sides—Prevalence of Satin Is Viewed With Some Significance. The difference between a slim and a full purse is the only decisive factor in changing clothes. It is to assist those on slender incomes to keep apace with changing fashions that the shops offer, in large quantities, low-priced copies of high-priced models. This work or reproduction has already begun in the large shops of New York. The buyers have been returning from Paris with stocks of French ideas, to help women change their clothes for the summer. In addition to this, the towns are flooded with cheap copies and adaptations of the French models that came over here in the spring. Some of the adaptations are admirable and suit the masses far better than the frocks which were made in Paris and which were intended as suggestions to buyers rather than offerings to individual women. We are now able to select in the thin fabrics, suitable for summer, a vast variety of gowns and suits that originally appeared in dark and thicker materials. As an example of this, there is the immense output of satin clothes since the middle of May. This altogether delightful fabric was not especially featured in the February and March models, but the French mills have turned out great quantities of it in the early spring, for Paris has been sending over her newest ideas worked out in satin for two months. The incoming of this material is received with satisfaction and it has significance. Satisfaction comes from the fact that satin is cool, easily pressed and serves several purposes. The significance lies in the fact that satin does not lend itself to outstanding drapery, and the limpness with which it falls against the figure suggests that our new clothes may have fullness, but not extension. Strange to say, taffeta has given way to satin for day usage, but it holds its own for the evening. Women A Black Velvet and White Straw Motor Cap, tied Under the Chin with Narrow Velvet Ribbon. who dress well are buying morning frocks of dark-blue and stone-gray charmeuse. These are made with the simplicity that now characterizes the best of French gowns for French women, and they present a most alluring contrast to the overtrimmed and overlooped gowns that have been offered us for a year. They have small bodices, usually fastened down the front with satin covered buttons, sometimes in the color of the gown, again, in an opposing color. The long, slightly loose, sleeves are finished with turned-over cuffs of white organde, often built up from three and four layers, which is a Cheruit, trick of trimming a sleeve that was advanced two years ago. One of the prettiest of the motor caps offered to devotees of the "machine" is shown in the illustration. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspa. Double Belt. There is a new double belt in sports skirts which adds quite a little dash to them. The first belt is a regulation one about the waist; the second, of the same width, goes about the hips neither tightly nor loosely, and is often run through tiny straps to hold it on. Such a belt can be tightened up so the skirt fullness does not fly out unnecessarily. Subject Which Mothers Will Do Well to Give Their Deepest Consideration and Care. How much happier everyone would be if everybody would try to do those things which he or she would please the other person. While this applies to adults, it is also applicable to children, and can possibly be carried out more readily for them. All mothers should aim to make their children's childhood so bright and happy that in years after the youngsters will always remember with gladness those early days. Especially should pretty things be provided for the child's bedroom, so that it can carry cheerful thoughts into dreamland. Among the many articles that can be made for the nursery is a patch quilt. Not the kind that grandmother to make, with the square and oblong pieces of material neatly joined, but a quilt of colored silkene nicely stitched and or- SPORTS COSTUME Attractive sports costume of purple and tan checked pongee trimmed with cream-colored buttons. The mammoth pockets are an unusual feature. The suit is simple and nasty and is the most cooling of sport costumes. It is especially the thing when playing tennis or some other athletic game. The hat is of leghorn and is trimmed with a heavy straw braiding. HATS TO MATCH THE EYES Pretty Notion of the Season Popular With Mothers Who Are Blessed With Little Girls. Mothers, this season, are adopting the rather pretty notion of matching the hats worn by their little girls with the wearer's eyes. The brown-eyed youngsters have hats of Tuscan straw and blue-eyed youngsters wear white Milan with blue ribbon trimming exactly matching the gray blue or blue shade of the iris. Black hats are for children with gray or hazel eyes. Children's hats, like the hats worn by women this year, have rather high crowns, but the head size is always large, so that the hat slips down well over the hair. Nothing is uglier than a small, high-perched crown on a childish head. The smaller the hat itself the lower it must descend to be smart. Very soft Milans are worn by children who can afford the best in millinery, and there are new plaid Milans, made of strands of colored straw, that are very distinctive. Some of these are in the Glengarry or Scotch shape. A red and white plaid Glengarry is trimmed with a band and streamers of red velvet ribbon and a cluster of bright red cherries near the front. Sailor hats of colored Milan with crown top and trimmed band of colored glazed kid are also very smart. Children's sailor hats this year are saucy and dashing in shape, especially those of the jack tar or coast guard type. Picture hats for special wear are of Leghorn, or very fine white Milan hemp, with wide, supple brims and rather low crowns. A band of black velvet ribbon tied in a small bow, with long streamer ends, and a single rose, hand-made, of silk, constitute a modish trimming for such a hat. Couch Arrangement. The following way of making up a couch when used as a bed will prove satisfactory, provided the couch is of that type which has sides that can be let down like the swinging ends or sides of a kitchen table: Make up the bed in the morning the same as ordinarily, but when the sheets and blankets are in place, instead of tucking them in at the sides, fold the tankets and then the sheets smoothly from the sides toward the center. Thus the bedclothes will occupy only the top of the couch, leaving the sides free. Drop the sides, spread a cover over the whole couch and a neat result will appear. Have for the pillows day covers like the couch cover, which can be easily slipped off at night. namented with patches of white silk cut to resemble little youngsters in their nightlies. And then across the bottom the words, "The Sandman Is Coming," should be outlined. Such a quilt would make any youngster anxious for bedtime. If one does not care for silkoleen, chambray, unbleached muslin, silk muslin or sateen might be substituted. Then, too, in place of kiddies one might have animals from Noah's ark appliqued to the quilt. Directoire Stick Doubtless we shall again witness the use of the directoire stick and, in fewer instances, the exploitation of the mannish cane. These certainly add to a "period" costume, but they would seem to have little place with the town garb. And unless a woman is physically incapacitated the carrying of the heavy cane does not add to the sartorial effect. RECIPES THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED AND NOT FOUND WANTING. Fine Served With a Form of Mincemeat—Mixed With Raisins—Two Kinds of Rhubarb Meringue Are Recommended. Mince Rhubarb Pie.—One cupful of rhubarb, after chopping fine, one-half cupful sugar, one-half cupful best mozzarella, one-half cupful water, one-half cupful raisins chopped, one and a half crackers, rolled, one egg, one-half teaspoonful cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful cloves, a little nutmeg, a little salt and one tablespoonful butter. Bake with two crusts. This makes two pies. Mock Lemon Pie.—One cupful rhubarb sauce, three-fourths cupful sugar, yolks of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of sweet cream. Flavor with lemon extract, bake in one crust and frost with whites of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Rhubarb and Raisin Pie.—Two cupfuls of rhubarb and one cupful of raisins, chopped together quite fine, one cupful sugar, one teaspoonful cinnamon, a little salt and bits of butter. Bake in two crusts. Delicious Rhubarb Pie.—Line a deep pie plate with crust and cut fine enough rhubarb to nearly fill the plate, and put it in a saucepan. Mix one-half teaspoonful cornstarch with a little cold water and stir into one-half cupful boiling water, pour over rhubarb, add a small handful of seedless raisins and at least one and a half cupful of sugar (the amount depends upon the acidity of the rhubarb); beat all together, but do not boll. Bake with two crusts. Rhubarb Meringue Pie.—Beat the yolks of two eggs, add one tablespoonful cornstarch, one cupful of sugar and one cupful of finely-chopped rhubarb; turn into pie plate lined with rich crust and bake; when done cool slightly, then frost with the two whites beaten stiff, three tablespoonful sugar and one teaspoonful of lemon extract. Brown lightly in the oven. Rhubarb Meringue Pie No. 2.—To one cupful of finely-chopped rhubarb add one cupful of sugar and the grated rind of one lemon, put one teaspoonful of cornstarch in a cup, moisten with a little cold water, then fill the cup with boiling water and add to it the rhubarb, then add the beaten yolks of three eggs. Bake with one crust and when cold cover with meringues of the whites of the three eggs and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and brown lightly. Garden Truck Hints Green outer leaves of the lettuce should be made up as a vegetable stewed with a wash of butter or a little gravy. Cabbage is improved when cooked with an onion, a few potatoes, the whole being boiled in one pot. Cabbage with rice and cheese cooked in its own juice is also done in one utensil. A sufficient luncheon consists of spinach with boiled, fried or poached eggs and a slice of coarse bread. Carrots, like new turnips and other vegetables, ought to be cooked in very little moisture, improved by a piece of butter, when all salts of the mineral properties are retained. A white sauce with a beaten egg or a few yolks of eggs sprinkled with breadcrumbs or cheese, and lightly baked over a water bath, makes a good supper dish. Artichokes. Artichoke is a coming vegetable. The French have shown us its utility. The plant grows wild in southern Europe. The artichoke is a graceful plant, several feet high. Its handsome leaves and fine appearance recommend it for ornamental use. The artichoke belongs to the same family as the daisy and the sunflower. The part which is eaten is the flat, circular disk which bears the flowers. The tender base of the disk is also eaten after the heads are boiled tender. Dressed with oil and vinegar, the tender parts of boiled artichoke make a good salad. Finnan Haddle. Place fish, skin side down, in a baking pan with water enough to cover. Boil ten minutes, when skin may be easily removed. Cut off the tail well into the meat. Return to pan, using half milk and half cream instead of water. Thick slices of boiled potato should be placed snugly around the fish. Season in the pan if desired. The unserved fish may be separated from the bones, mixed with cream or milk and cracker crumbs, well seasoned and baked. This makes a delicious lunch or side serving. Scrambled Rice and Bacon Three cupfuls cooked rice, 12 slices of bacon, three eggs, beaten, salt and pepper. Fry or bake the bacon till crisp, pour off half the fat and put the bacon aside in a warm place. Mix together the eggs and rice and add salt and pepper as needed. Pour into the hot bacon fat left in the frying pan and scramble. Heap in a mound on a hot platter and surround with the bacon. —Good Housekeeping. Cream of Rice Soup. Two quarts of chicken broth, one teacupful of rice, one quart of milk (half cream is better), one onion, one stalk of celery, salt and pepper to taste. Wash the rice, add the onion and celery and cook two hours; then strain through a sieve. Add the seasoning and the milk or cream, which has come to the boiling point. If milk is used, add a little piece of butter. Oxford Salad. Small leaves of lettuce, three to each guest. On each slice of orange place a strip of canned red sweet pepper. Over ail pour a dressing made of the juice from ends of oranges, a little of the pepper liquor and plenty of salt. Very pretty, and so good. Tea, to Be at Its Best, Must Be Prepared Under Exactly the Proper Conditions. There is practically no nutriment in tea, though there are small amounts of mineral salts. The principal ingredients are caffeine, which stimulates the nerves; volatile oils, which give the flavor, and tannic acid, which retards the digestion! The Japanese have made a religious and aesthetic ceremonial of tea-drinking, and, like the mineral waters whose efficiency is found to depend largely on the change and rest accompanying their drinking, the afternoon tea has its psychological as well as its physiological reasons for the pleasant results produced. Like all beverages which refresh by stimulating, tea should be used with great discretion. Less tea is used to the cup than in the case of coffee—one half to one teaspoonful as compared to one tablespoonful. A mild cup of tea well made will not hurt a healthy person, and, although the stimulating principle is the same, tea does not seem to have so direct or so pronounced an effect on the central nervous system as does coffee. Children, people with gastric troubles or those who are nervous should not drink tea. Green tea contains much more tannic acid than black tea. Be sure it does not boll or stand on the leaves if you use it. Hard or stale water does not make good tea. It should be freshly drawn and freshly boiled. Bolling any tea is a crime. The caffein is readily soluble and is quickly obtained in solution. Bolling or long standing on the leaves only results in more of the injurious tannic acid being extracted and spoils the flavor as well as making the beverage more harmful. COVERS FOR SWEEPING DAYS Provision May Be Made That Will Do Away With Much Announcement on Those Occasions. To find the necessary coverings on sweeping days has often sent the mild scurrying about for old aprons, sheets, towels and anything else she could lay her hands on to use for this purpose. A friend of mine has solved the difficulty in this way: She purchased a quantity of gray canvable and made from it a large sheet with which to cover the beds and sideboard; smaller covers for dressers and toilet tables were made and still others, in suitable shapes, were designed to put over the lamps, mantels and the like. She also made from the canvable a bag to keep the covers in; this was hung in the broom closet. While light, the cambric formed a perfect protection against dust, and a simple shaking when the sweeping was finished freed the covers from the dust that had settled upon them, so that they required washing but once a month. The use of those dust covers saved much valuable time and extra work. The cost of a set is moderate and it does not take long to make them.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Curried Lamb. Put one-half pound of rice on to cook in double boiler with speck of salt. Let cook slowly. Get two pounds of lamb for stew (it is just as good, only trim off some of the fat from it). Cut into small pieces, add one onion and lamb with enough water to cover, adding water as it cooks away. When lamb is almost done, which will be in about 1½ hours, take two tablespoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of curry powder, salt and pepper. Mix all in a paste with a little cold water and add to the lamb, Stir often so as not to burn, as it apt to after flour is added. I forgot to say have two or three carrots cooking in separate kettles in salted water. When done serve in this way: Take large platter, put rice in center of dish, lap carrots, cut up, around rice, pour lamb and gravity over all and serve at once. Do not have too much water, so you will not have a lot of gravity. All who have tasted it ask for a second helping.—Boston Globe. Bag of Lettuce. To place lettuce or parsley of celery in a cloth bag and keep directly on the ice means that the vegetable will keep fresh and crisp) much longer than in any other way. Bags, all made and stamped with the name "Lettuce," "Parsley" or "Celery" may be for 35 cents. There is a shirr string at top to pull tight and keep the contents in place. It would possibly take about an hour to make one of these bags, but the comfort and satisfaction in using one cannot be computed. Omelet of Peas. Beat up three eggs, to which add one tablespoonful of grated cheese; pepper and salt and mix thoroughly. Butter an omelette pan and pour in the mixture; keep moving it gently with a fork, while you sprinkle in with the other hand some cooked green peas or canned. The omelet will be cooked by the time you have sprinkled in two handfuls. Slip it off on a very hot dish, fold over and serve at once. Queen Cake. Three eggs, two cupfuls sugar, large half cupful butter, one cupful milk, one teaspoonful soda, two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar, three cupfuls flour. Flavor to taste. This makes two quite good-sized leaves or a large sheet. It can be divided and put three whites in one loaf and three yolks in the other. Then use one and a half cupfuls of flour to each loaf and halve everything else in proportion. Jellied Prunes. Soak two and a half tablespoonfuls granulated gelatin in one-half cupful cold water, add one and a half cupfuls boiling water to dissolve gelatin, one cupful sugar, one-fourth cupful lemon juice. Strain, add three-fourths cupful of cooked prunes after removing stones, pour into molds and chill. Stir twice while cooking to prevent prunes from settling. Serve with sugar and cream.
