IN UNION
THERE IS STRUCKTH
O. HARRIS & EWING
Capt. W. S. A. Smith of Sloux City, IA, is probably the best kfwn farmer on the newly appointed federal loan board. When a young man he followed the same career as his father, early age. He quit the sea for the farm and has since become well known as a writer on farm economics. He has been a director for many years a director of the Sloux City bank, and for the past 18 months he has been an expert in farm practice in the region of agriculture. He is a Republican.
LITTLE GIRLS SEE
RELATIVES DROWN
Father, Mother, Aunt and Grandfather Sink in Deep Hole; Children Summon Aid.
Mount Vernon, O.—Two little girls, aged five and six, saw their father, mother, grandfather and aunt sink to death in a deep hole in Kohosong river at Rocky Hollow picnic grounds near Millwood, 12 miles from here.
The children, only witnesses of the tragedy, rushed panic-streken to the picnic ground and summoned a score of picnickers, who ran to the spot where the two men and two women had disappeared and tried to bring them to the surface. It was two hours later when the bodies were recovered.
The dead are Mr. and Mrs. Lester Mowery of Danville, Isaac Parson of Glennont and Mrs. Don Graven of Akron. Mr. Parson was the father of the two women.
Mr. and Mrs. Mowery were entertaining Mr. Parson and Mrs. Graven at their home in Danville. Just before noon they packed a picnic dinner and went to the grove for an afternoon's outing.
After dinner the four adults went bathing in the river, which is full of deep holes and known as a treacherous bathing place. The two little daughters of the Mowerys played on the bank, looking on at the bathers.
Shortly after 2 p. m. the women, arm in arm, started to wade out toward midstream. The men were together close to shore. Suddenly there was a shriek from the women as they stepped into a hole and disappeared. The children on the bank echoed the scream.
The two men, who were inexpert swimmers, hurried to the rescue of the drowning women. As the women rose to the surface they seized their would-be rescuers in a grip that could not be broken. All four sank. When the bodies were brought ashore Dr. C. E. Conrad of Mount Vernon, who was on the picnic grounds, worked over them for more than an hour but found resuscitation impossible.
One Drawer Two Rescued
Newark, O.—John Boast, aged 26, was drowned in the Licking river, two miles east of the city, when he got into water 15 feet deep. He could not swim. His wife and sister, who were with him, almost met the same fate, but were rescued.
Bee Sting Injures Eight.
Dayton, O—Eight persons were injured when Max Rosichan, aged 17 was stung in the eye by a bee and lost control of an automobile he was driving and the machine turned over on the Springboro pike near Dayton.
Killed by Train.
Dayton, O.-John Molen, aged 50, was struck by a westbound Pennsylvania passenger train at a crossing here when he stepped out of the way of a freight train going in the same direction, and was injured fatally.
For Old Age Pensions.
Columbus—Pensions for every person over 65 years old that will furnish an income of $240 a year, are to be sought by legislation proposed here by an organization representing labor and civic bodies. The organization intends to submit the proposed law to the voters for ratification in 1917. Persons residents in state one year prior to passage of law will be entitled to pension. Those who become residents after enactment can qualify after 10 years. Money for pensions is to be derived from an inheritance tax.

GORIZIA CAPTURED BY THE ITALIANS
City's Fall Follows Furious Battle of Three Days; Siege Lasted Over Year.
10,000 PRISONERS TAKEN
Russians Gradually Nearing Great Railway City of Stanislai; Allies Hold Gains on the Somme Front; Germans Gain.
Rome, Italy. — The flag of Italy flies over Gorizia, while from the lofty mountain heights, which rise up from the Isonzo valley, the same banner is floating. Italian troops entered Gorizia Wednesday, marking the first concrete step in the campaign against Trieste and the extension of the Italian borders once more to include the long mourned isseldian provinces.
Large bodies of Italian cavalry, infantry and bessaglieri on bicycles are pursuing the defeated Austrians. More than 10,000 prisoners have been brought in. The losses in dead and wounded was enormous. Long lines of Austrian trenches were found choked with bodies, according to news from the front.
The capture of Gorizia followed a furious battle of three days in which the concentrated fire of the Italian artillery shattered the powerful bridgehead positions of the Austrians on the western bank of the Isonzo, forcing a retirement from the river line.
Siege Lasted Over Year
The siege of the city has covered a period of more than a year, during which time fighting of more or less violence was practically continuous. Gorizia is in a basin surrounded on three sides by towering mountains. The Italian advance up the slopes of these superb natural defenses was naturally tedious and slow. The capture of Gorizia is view in military circles here as the first step in a great campaign against the Austrian eastern wing, which will imperil the great commercial port of Trieste, and hold menace even to Vienna itself. London, Eng. — The Russian grip upon the great railway city of Stanslau, in northeastern Galicia, has menacingly tightened by further headway of Gen. Lechitsky's army from two directions. His forces southeast of the city pushed their lines to the river Verona, captured the town of Tismienica, only a little more than six miles from Stanslau, and at one point crossed the river, driving due west toward the intersection of two of the five important railways which converge at Stanslau. Only four miles now separate them from this intersection.
Simultaneously with the advance from the southeast, Lochitsky's right wing succeeded at last in breaking Austrian resistance on the Koroplec river, crossed to its western bank and cleared it of Teuton troops down to where the Monasteryska Nijiluv railway crosses the Dneelster, about 17 miles northwest of Stanslau.
The new gains of the allies on the Somme front in northern France are being held firmly in the face of heavy counterattacks by the German according to the Paris official statement.
Berlin claims attacks by the British and French north of the river Somme have been checked with heavy losses to the assaulting forces.
DEFEAT VILLA BANDS
LEADER AND SEVERAL OTHER OFFICERS KILLED; PRISONERS ARE EXECUTED.
Mexico City, Mex. — Defeat of Villista bands in two districts is reported to the war department. Col. Suirob, in an engagement with a Villa detachment under Col. Venegas in Guanajuato, inflicted heavy casualties, which included the death of the Villista leader, Venegas, and several other officers. Some arms and ammunition were taken. Constitutionalists under Col. Morado, in Zacatecas, defeated another detachment of Villistas, killing a number and capturing seven prisoners, who were executed.
Chihuahua City, Mex. — Villa bandits attacked a passenger train on the Torreon & Durango railroad at Noria, it has been learned. They were repulsed by an escort of government troops on the train. In the fight Gen. Aguilar of Gen. Francisco Murgia's staff, was killed. The bandits, numbering about 20, scattered to the hills.
Zennelins Raid Coasts.
London, Eng. — Twenty-three casualities, including three women and a child killed, were caused when from seven to ten Zeppelin airships raided the east coasts of England and Scotland.
The aircrafts did not venture far inland and did no military damage, according to official statements, which said a total of 160 bombs were dropped.
The various raids were carried out by single ships or in pairs, observers say.

Gilles Nutter of Charleston, W. Va.
Armond Scott of Washington, T. W.
Fleming of Cleveland, J. H. Randolph
of Virginia and George W. F. McMechen of Baltimore are among these mentioned for grand exalted ruler.
Mr. McMechen is the present grand esteemed leading knight, being elected at Chicago in 1915. He has received assurances of support from all parts of the country, a goodly number of sponsors proclaiming him to be the logical candidate.

He is the junior member of the law firm of Hawkins and McMechen, Baltimore. This firm has handled much important litigation. Lawyer McMechen is a Mason, past grand chancellor of the Maryland grand lodge of Knights of Pythias, Order of Moses and other fraternities. He was a candidate for the Baltimore city council in 1915, making a flattering run. Baltimore Elks hope to land the 1918 session of the grand lodge.
MORRIS CALLS CONVENTION.
President of National Baptist Organization issues Pointed Statement.
The call for the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, of which the Rev. Dr. Ellis C. Morris is president, has been formulated, signed and issued by the Rev. Mr. Morris and Professor R. R. Hudson, secretary of the national Baptist convention, 1915, and an order by the executive board of that convention held at Memphis, June, 1915-16 last week, we hereby call the national Baptist convention the sixth anniversary meeting in the city of Savannah, Ga., Sept. 6 to 12.
In view of the many rumors which have been circulated to the effect that there has been a signed agreement that there is another national Baptist convention (which rumor we deny), it is specifically urged that every Negro Baptist church in the United States which believes in the national convention and in announcing one great national convention of Baptists be represented at the Savannah meeting.
It is not expected that every one of the 200 members of the national convention, but those who cannot send a messenger can send a letter, thereby letting the world know where they stand in respect to truth and righteousness.
Under the constitution there are three churches which will participate, representative, annual and life. Any regular Baptist church may be represented upon the payment of $5. Any Baptist in good standing may become an annual member upon the payment of $10. Any Baptist in good standing may become a life member upon the payment of $20.

TENTH CAVALRY PAGEANT.
Noted Regiment Under Colonel Young
Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary.
The Tenth United States cavalry celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its formation the first week in August, according to a report from American field headquarters. Mexico, by giving a military pageant composed by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young.
The report says: Mimic battles and rescues under fire were features of the pageant with which the Tenth United States cavalry celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its formation. This fighting unit, commissioned at what is now Fort Sill, Okin., on July 28, 1866, during most of its existence has seen service west of the Mississippi.
In addition to winning laurels in wars against the Indians, it has distinguished itself at Santiago, Cuba; in the Philipines and most recently in Mexico, notably at Cartizal.
The celebration given in the early evening before regimental officers and soldiers and all former officers of the regiment now with the expeditionary column, unique in the annals of military celebrations, was conceived by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth, a West Point graduate who has reached the highest rank in the regular army ever attained by a Negro.
Introducing the different episodes of the pageant, which depleted the history of the regiment, a noncommissioned officer, clad in heraldic trappings, recited stanzas of blank verse composed by Colonel Young, which gave a synopsis of the scenes presented.
The first two episodes of the paneget contrasted the men as they appeared and drilled fifty years ago and as they appear today. The third, in which fifty troopers apparaed as Indians appeared, illustrated a brilliant feat by an officer of the Teenth, Lieutenant Powhatan Clark, who returned under fire during a fight with Indians to rescue a wounded trooper. Wanton, of the machine gun troop, one of the four medal of honor men of the regimental rolls, was the central figure in the fourth episode. He was escorted across the field of honor by a guard bearing wreaths on their saber points. The fifth illustrated the part the Tenth took in the battle of Santiago, Cuba. The sixth was presented by a troop which carried banners bearing the names of the battles in which the regiment has fought and those of its commanders who became generals.
At the close of the celebration the call to colors was sounded, and regimental spirit reached a climax in a great burst of cheering, coding with the singing of "Glory, Hallelujah."

PROGRESS MADE IN LEGAL LORE
Success of E. Burton Ceruti at Los Angeles, Cal.
SAVES LIFE OF HIS CLIENT.
Well Known California Attorney Receives High Compliment From Trial Judge In Recent Case of the People Against Thomas Miller In Town of Santa Barbara.
By CHARLES ALEXANDER
The Negro is making rapid progress in the profession of law on the Pacific coast. This is especially true in Los Angeles, in southern California. Some of the cases handled by our men recently have attracted national attention. One of the very unique cases lately tried in Santa Barbara, Cal., was that of Thomas Miller, a colored man who killed a white man in that city early in July, 1915.
Thomas Miller was tried for murder in September, 1915, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. This man committed the deed while suffering a strange mental aberration, and while
E. BURTON CERUTI, ESQ.
he was awaiting execution in the state penitentiary Attorney E. Burton Ceruti of Los Angeles was induced to ask for a new trial. A new trial was granted, and Mr. Ceruti, without hope of reward for his effort, undertook to save the man's life from the gallows.
It was clear to the attorney's friends that he was undertaking a hopeless task. Nevertheless, with a courage that is admirable and a devotion that is rare, Mr. Ceruti proceeded to defend the unfortunate man. Few men in the profession would have made such a great sacrifice of time and energy in behalf of a man in Miller's predicament. In order to do full justice to his client, Mr. Ceruti gave up his practice in Los Angeles for six weeks and gave himself unremittingly to the trial of Miller in the Santa Barbara court. He found his problem one of the most perplexing and difficult legal issues ever encountered in his experience.
In the city of Santa Barbara he confronted antagonistic sentiment on every hand. There was no mercy to be shown his client. Both races were against him, and, while many colored and white citizens and remarked that Miller was crazy and irresponsible, not one person could be found to so declare before the court. The man at the bar has no friends in the courtroom.
The opposition of the citizens of Santa Barbara served only to spur the attorney on to his greatest effort, and he proved himself both a hero and humanitarian in his noble attempt to secure justice. Attorney Ceruti's big heart and big brains, moved by the most generous impulse, were taxed to the utmost, with the result that he finally won the victory of saving his client's life.
It was almost impossible to secure a jury in the Miller case. Over 300 men from all parts of the county were called, and so great was the prejudice that but twelve out of that number could be accepted. One man, a prominent business factor in the city, declared that he believed Miller guilty because he was a Negro. He implied that he believed that all Negroes are criminal. There developed in the case many dramatic situations and thrilling episodes, and, while the case proved to be the most expensive murder trial ever heard in Santa Barbara, the lawyers expressed themselves as highly gratified that they had been privileged to have contact with a colored lawyer of such marked ability and profound legal knowledge as Attorney Ceruti.
The newspapers in Santa Barbara were generous in their comments, and the judges expressed their great satisfaction with the skillful manner in which Attorney Ceruti handled the case. It is considered that he won a great victory when he had the sentences reversed from death to life.

Greatly Pleased With Ex- Lieut. Flipper's Letter
Wants Ohio to Have an Afro-American Regiment
Praises "The Old Reliable Gazette and Its Editor
Somewhere in Mexico, July 29, 1916.
My Dear Harry C. Smith: —I write you to thank you for your extreme kindness in sending me a copy of your valuable paper, containing the letter of Ex-Lieut. Henry O. Flipper.
It was published at the right time and gave the public, especially the Negro soldiers, an answer to a question that I have been asked no less than a thousand times: i.e. "Where is Flipper and what has he been doing since leaving the army?" Ex-Lieut. Flipper, thanking him for condescending to reply to those fool accusations, for our sake.
I hope Ohio will not let Illinois beat us and that we will have a regiment as creditable to black people as the 8th Illinois, and to be used in a way as dignified to the 8th Illinois.
You know an old "wood sawyer" like me has but little time for writing. But I always think of you and the inestimable service you have rendered us, both in politics and in journalism; and I am delighted to see you doing business on a stand.
You will find enclosed a little entertainment which I got up and which was played by the regiment on the 28th inst., celebrating the 50th year of its organization.
With love and best wishes for your health and continued success, I am
Faithfully Yours,

HIS HOME BLOWN UP
Dallas, Tex. A charge of gunpowder was exploded. Wednesday, under the home of William, Connor, an Afro-American, in Deere Park, a section of Dallas, where an attempt has been made to enforce a segregation ordinance. Connor bought and occupied the home several weeks ago. He was given a certain time in which to move away, and was promised the return of the purchase money of the house. It was because he failed to move that the attempt was made to blow up his home, the police say. He says $60 of the money for his home is still due him from a realty company. Comment unnecessary!

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY.
"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln.
It is not often Lieut. Col. Charles Young appears in a new role, but when he does it is always in the front rank Read carefully his excellent contribution to the columns of "the old reliable" Gazette on our first page today He is an "Ohio boy" all of us are proud of. Col. Young is a credit to the race and the country. More power er to him!
Gov. Frank B. Willis prevented that infamous play, "The Birth of a Nation," from showing in Ohio—Dayton (O.) Forum.
He did not do anything of the kind so Chairman Williams of the state board of film censors said some months ago in a letter to The Gazette which was published repeatedly in this paper. Tell the truth, brother.

Notice has been sent by Postmaster General Burleson to all postmasters of the second, third and fourth classes that they will be paid $5 for every recruit they obtain for the military service as the result of a provision inserted in the army bill. Burleson, like President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and the controlling element in congress, are prejudiced southern democrats. These are the people who refused to provide for the enlistment of Afro-American in the that "army reorganization bill." Comment unnecessary!
LUNA PARK OUTRAGES
If ever there was a case of "selling a birthright for a mess of potage," our people of Cleveland were given a striking illustration of it on Monday last at Luna Park, this city. In the face of the fact that their wives, sisters, and brothers, as well as themselves, are grossly discriminated against—denied their civil rights—in that place of amusement every day in the year that it is open, because our people will not go into the courts, use our Ohio civil rights law and break down the color lines drawn there, the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, an organization with a membership that boasts of average intelligence and some self and race respect, for the fourth or fifth time inveigled thousands of local Afro-Americans and a number from nearby cities and towns into attending, on Monday last at that park, its annual money-making scheme, advertised as an "emancipation celebration." This, too, in the face of protest after protest from the manly and womanly of our people of this community, extending over a period of four or five years. On every day of the year that Luna Park is open, it is a notorious fact that the roller skating rink, dance hall and bathing pool are closed to our people, except on the days (two, annually) the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Caterers' association (Colored men) use it. On these days the bathing pool is closed to the Negroes who so far forget themselves and their civil rights as to visit the park. More than this, they are taken unfair advantage of in various other ways, such as being overcharged by a lessening of the time allotted them for a fee in the roller skating rink and the dance hall, and in various other places at the park. The management reaps a golden harvest from the Negroes visiting the park on the two "Negro" days each year, only an insignificantly small part of which ever reaches the treasurers of the two race organizations named. In plain words, twice a year, led by the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Caterers' Association, Negroes are inveigled into paying that park management, in hard-earned and much-needed dollars, a great big golden royalty for denying them civil rights and privileges in the place every day in the year it is open, thus holding them up to the ridicule and contempt of the manly and womanly of other classes or races of people in this community. Is it any wonder that prejudice increases so rapidly and that public places of amusement, entertainment and accommodation are so rapidly multiplying in which our people are being denied their rights and privileges, when our own will make it more profitable for them to
so mistreat and insult us than to accord us what we are clearly entitled to under the law as men and women—CITIZENS! And the if decent, and respecting Afro-Americans of this community, with the proper manhood and womanhood, are to continue to sit supinely by and see this sort of thing go on from year to year, as it has been for the past four or five years, how much longer will it take for the "doctrine of surrender" and personal or organization gain Negroes, like those in the two organizations named who persist in attracting our people to color-line Luna Park to be relieved of their hard earnings—we repeat, how much longer will it take to reduce the Afro-Americans of this community to the level of their brothers and sisters in the most modest locality in the far south, as far as their civil rights and privileges in public places are concerned? It is high time an effort was again being made to show both organizations and all such—organizations and men of the race—that the desire for personal or organization gain must not be cultivated at such tremendous sacrifice of self and race respect, manhood and womanhood, civil rights and privileges. It is an outrage upon those of the race in this community that will reach out and beyond the men and women of today on down to the children who are the men and women of tomorrow. God knows we ought to make conditions better for them if not for ourselves. We should not tolerate any more such reprehensible acts as these Luna Park affairs, because they are unquestionably slowly but surely making living conditions in this community infinitely worse and subjecting us all to ridicule and contempt most of us are not entitled too.
NO COMPROMISE.
Our race in America has not stood manfully and unitedly for its rights. Too many influential ones among us have chosen to be opportunists WHEN PERSONAL GAIN WAS IN SIGHT. Then, too, the race has saunted and allowed an abortive Americanism of the south to determine its place in this country. The south, lead by Senator Tillman, a few years ago launched a propaganda to show that our people were not entitled to real American privileges but were inferior by nature and training—so much so till it would be a crime against Anglo-Saxon civilization to give them the same rights before the law that other men enjoyed. To a very great degree, Senator Tillman accomplished his purpose. The policy of the south, in its treatment of our people, has become very largely the policy of the nation. Our schools in the south have been supported by money from the north, with the understanding that the teachers and the pupils fall in with the SOUTHERN IDEA. In the meantime a vigorous policy was begun by the south which practically accomplished the destruction of our state schools and very badly cripped missionary schools. Almost every denomination, doing missionary school-work in the south, insists that their forces adopt the point of view of the south in the kind of education our people should have. The open identification of the white teachers with their colored beneficiaries has been destroyed. Instead, these white teachers for the most part have adopted the policy of the south and treat our people as inferior. In other words these schools furnish an opportunity for fat jobs for whites who will teach the Negro in all other affairs taboo him. These compromises white northern teachers go still further. They return north and assume the same attitude toward our people living in the north. Every one that found it out became indignant beyond expression when it was told that Major Moton was placed in insignificant colored places by white bookers of Hampton, while they occupied rooms in the most gorgous hotels. These little creatures were simply "bookers" but they attempted to humiliate the man that was getting the money for Hampton by placing him among colored people, as they say, but the real reason was, they had in them the southern idea, a Negro had no right to enjoy the same accommodations a white man has, even though the Negro is the real backbone of the institution. A southern man unpaired these northern white apologists and removed Major Moton to one of the best hotels of that northern city. To Hampton, Major Moton was worth more than a dozen of these northern-southernized job-hunters. Such men cannot help our race. We do not object to our men stopping with members of the race but why should private families of color be compelled to accommodate their big men while the big men of white extraction, and even the "little pygmies," can pass over their own race in private homes and enjoy the luxuries of palatial hotels by squandering the money given to educate our boys and girls in the south? We are out to fight such iniquitous discrimination. The real man to be dreaded in these cases is not the southern white man but the northern white man making his living out of our people in the south. Too often, he becomes the dangerous apologist for southern lawlessness. He returns to his home, and among his friends and acquaintances impresses them that the point of view of the south is the correct one; and it is due very largely to them that prejudice against our people in the north is growing at such rapid strides. We cannot compromise in our fight for absolute freedom and equal rights. We shall fearlessly oppose the trucking cowardice of the southern Negro who adopts the point of view of the southern whites and attempts to make the world believe that it is the proper we. We shall expose and fight the whites who go south under the guise of uplifting our people but, in fact, become their man destroyers, so far as rights and manhood are concerned. Northern men and women who went south fifty years ago cast their lot with the people whom they tought to uplift. They suffered willingly the insults heaped upon them by such southern haters as deigned to insult them. They constituted a NOBLE band. These latter day professional job-hunters do not and will not follow in their train. There are
some notable exceptions. These among others may be found in such schools as Atlanta University. We entertain no ill-will against any man, but we do detest any set of hypocritical workers who, for their own pockets, pretend to be trying to uplift our people when, in fact, they are only filling their "mits" and secretly giving aid to the oppressors of our people. The following are things we are going to fight for:

Destruction of the unjust discriminating franchise of the south; a federal law enforcing equal accommodations on all public conveyances, railroads, steamboats, etc., and in all places of entertainment, amusement, hotels and the like; an equal chance to make an honest living in any profession, in enjoying the benefits of the unions of labor which have this country by the throat; equal opportunity to hold political office whenever ability and opportunity afford it; the right to say who shall be our rulers as well as to help rule ourselves and others when we are entitled to the office; and the right of our women to have every right and privilege any other woman enjoys in America. In fighting for these things we shall not forget to remind our people that they can aid us greatly by acting well their part. We shall ask our friends who come north from the south to adopt the northern standard of living and not attempt to introduce harmful southern customs here.

"Notes of a Busy Life"
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK OF THE
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE
How the Nashville (Tenn.) Branch Has Provided Its Worth.
The work of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People shows a healthy growth in efficiency and in initiative. The league maintains headquarters in New York and has branches in many of the large cities south and west, which are doing a beneficent work among our people. Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones is the executive secretary and associate director in charge of the main office in New York, and Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of economics at Miskin university, is the executive secretary in charge* of the office at Nashville, Tenn.
At a recent meeting of the executive board held in New York Dr. Haynes made a report on the part played by the league at the big fire which did so much damage in Nashville the latter part of March. Dr. Haynes says:
On March 22 a disastrous fire in East Nashville made destitute about 2,500 persons, more than half of whom were colored. The fire work was immediately organized. Our league office took the initiative, as far as the relief for colored people was concerned, and the fire zone with the co-operation of a committee from the Negro board of trade. The whites led by the Commercial club, also established an office across the street from the fire zone, to invite to join with them and carry on the relief work jointly. In all 32 colored white families were helped in some way or other, and $2,000 was raised and spent. On the strength of the impression made in the fire relief some of the leading white families were invited for a conference to form a movement to attack some of our chronic social problems. As a result, the final plans were made on May 22 of the Public Welfare league. This league has since that time established an office and undertaken to promote the welfare of the committee as follows: Committee on delinquency, which will deal with both juvenile court and city and county court cases; committee on housing and health and
The interest has become so active that both white and colored people are united in the same organization, and our white members are more active than the colored members. The organization has started with the policy of a carefully selected membership and has already enlisted the support of some of our white members in business and professional men of Nashville.
NOTED BAPTIST LEADER
Dr. W. B. Johnne Resigns Pastorate of
Influential Washington Church
After completing thirty-five years of faithful service as pastor of the well known and influential Second Baptist church in Washington, the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D., has resigned. Dr. Johnson is the president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, an orator of national reputation and the author of several books and pamphlets on the race question and on the colored Baptists of the United States. Dr. Johnson is a Canadian by birth and was for many years professor of mathematics and political economy at Wayland seminary in Washington before it was merged with the Richmond, Va. institute to form the Virginia Union university. He was also employed by the government a few years ago to compile the statistics of the colored Baptists of the United States.
At the annual meeting of the New England Baptist convention held in Philadelphia in June, a resolution was adopted commending him for his forty years of ministerial labor, and also called attention to his thirty-five years' pastorate at the Second Baptist church in Washington. The delegates voted a gift of one dollar for each year of service. Dr. Johnson will devote his time to the Afro-American Correspondence school in Washington, of which he is the founder and president, and the field work of the New England convention which now extends over fourteen states and the District of Columbia.

Tom Fleming tried to fool the Afro-American candidates, it is said, by telling him he was going to get them on the administration's "slate" with Harry E. Davis, Tuesday at the priaries. We don't think any of them were "easy enough" to "fall for that bunk." however. The light vote does not make the outlook for this fall look any too good. Woods and Dale ran well not being on any slate. We were represented by representative leading those candidates. Now to elect him! An Afro-American is always needed in the Legislature.
There are hardly 20,000 of our people in Cleveland. There were not over 3,000 of them at Luna park, Monday, the great mass of them being too self and race respecting to go to the park, that day particularly. The claim was that the police were the attendance in the afternoon was very small; and that auto "parade" was certainly amusing—worthy of the miserable affair, money-making scheme, Mayor Harry L. Davis was there, but did not say when (if ever) he intended to give our people even one lone clerkship at the city ball, which he would attend in strong language, that Cleveland association of colored men.
Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, denounced the Cleveland Association of "Syd Thompson's" for going to color-line Luna park. Monday, with its alleged "emancipation celebration." He did this at the church, Sunday, and at our Ministers' Hall. He was joined by L. L. Bayliss informs The Gazette, It is encouraging to know that at least one of our local clergymen has the courage of his convictions. That he is right, there can be no question. The bathing pool was barred to Negroes, Monday, as usual. It looks as if the worse one predeceased whites the day it like it and THE MORE THEY WILL PAY FOR IT! GOOD LORD, HAVE MERCY!
Shooting, etc., caused trouble for 40 persons, in Judge Cull's court, late Monday. The trouble at Central Av. and E. 29th St., in front of a restaurant caused their arrest, Saturday evening. Seven were sentenced to 20 days in the workhouse. Eleven were fined $10 and costs, capitals were is in the court. In 1770 the judge in the "trouble" a one-armed Afro-American (from Tennessee) was shot and a policeman clubbed. Both were sent to the hospital. A policeman shot the Afro-American who was having trouble with the Greek restaurant-keeper, and he snatched one of the two officers' clubs to do the beating with before he was shot. It seems impossible to get more information relative to this unfortunate affair. Neither officer nor the man were blamed as being involved.
Nellie Price, (white), 1609 E. E20 St., sued Luna park for $10,000. Tuesday, on the claim that her left eye was poisoned while she was swimming in the Luna park swimming pool. It could not have been "drained and cleaned on Monday" as claimed, if Nellie's eye was "poisoned while swimming in the pool, Tuesday." The park management barred Negroes from the pool, Monday, as it has done every time they have had the park for the Cleveland Association of Colored Men's alleged "emancipation celebrations," so none of their eyes have been poisoned in it. However, their rights and privileges, in public places in this community, are being more than "poisoned" by this and other Luna park color lines which they (Negroes) place in a big cash premium upon—once and twice a year with their "emancipation" and (Caters' association) "clam bake" celebrations. THIS IS THE PATHETIC SIDE! It would be laughable, were it not so vitally harmful to ALL of our people of this community.
Proud of Roman Strain.
The organizing and educational power of the Roumanians reveals itself with incomparable force. The occupation of Trajan Dacia by the Roman colonists lasted less than two centuries (103-270); it was maintained longer, it is true, south of the Danube in Mesia. This short space of time surficied, nevertheless, to impress upon native populations such a stamp of "latinity" that today the Roumanian peasant designates himself "Roman" with the same pride as that of the ancients of Rome.

TURNING NIGHT INTO DAY ROBS THE CHILDREN OF THE. SLEEP THEY NEED
By SAMUEL G. DIXON, M. D.
Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania
late is a strain on their nervous systems which, while it may not be immediately apparent, is bound to exert a detrimental influence in the long run. Oftentimes the ill effects are perfectly apparent to the intelligent observer.
Irritableness and any of the train of evils which result from an overtaxed nervous system may result from continually robbing the child of sleep. A regular bed time should be set for children according to their age, ranging from six o'clock for babies to eight for children of eight or nine, and this should be regularly adhered to. This is a matter of the utmost importance in establishing a sturdy constitution in childhood.
With adults, irregularity and short hours of sleep are often a factor which predisposes to ill health. There are exceptions to this as to all rules. Occasionally one will find an individual who has an unusual capacity for work with less than the ordinary amount of rest, but for the ordinary man or woman this would end disastrously.
Mother's Cook Book.
It's the bad that's in the best of us
Makes the saint so like the rest of us!
It's the good in the darkest—crust of us
Redeems and saver the worst of us!
It's the muddle of good and badness,
It's the tangle of tears and gladness.
It's the lunacy linked with sanity
That make and mar humanity.
**Minute Soup.**
Take a cupful of bread crumbs, one
grated onion, a half cupful of rich
cream, one tablespoonful of butter,
a seasoning of salt, pepper and poultry
dressing and three cupfuls of boiling
water. Simmer one minute, then
serve with crisp crackers.
Grate the rind of a lemon, add the pulp, chopped, to it, one cupful of chopped raisins, a cupful of brown sugar, a half-cupful of molasses, two cupfuls of water, using some of the water to stir into a half-cupful of flour. Mix all together, boil five minutes and bake with two crusts.
Beat a cupful of cooked rice and two cupfuls of milk to a smooth paste. Add two eggs well beaten and salt and pepper to taste. Turn into a hot pan with a tablespoonful of melted butter. When brown, cover with powdered sugar and serve.
Muskmelon Dessert.
Cut the melon in cubes, removing the rind, dust with powdered sugar and grated nutmeg, chill and serve in sheerlet cups, pouring over any of the melon juice that escaped when preparing it.

A Hand on the Shoulder.
When a man isn't got a cent,
And he's feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy
And won't let the sunshine through,
It's a great thing, O my brethren,
I feel so good to be with you.
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort o' way.
It makes a man feel curious;
It makes the tear drops start,
And you sort o' feel a flutter
Your heart beats with joy.
You can look up and meet his eyes;
You don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort o' way.
Oh, the world's a curious compound,
With its honey and its gull:
With its cares and bitter crosses-
But a good world, after all.
And a good God must have made it—
Leastways, that is what I say
When a hand is on my shoulder
In a friendly sort o' way.
Vanity is apt to be its own reward—and no questions asked.
Did you ever notice that the chronic kicker is proud of the title?
A woman can be good to a man provided he doesn't deserve it. Occasionally a man who is rolling in wealth loses his equilibrium and rolls out of it. If a valid girl thinks herself beautiful, it's a man's cue to tell her that she is, even if she isn't. A girl keeps her relatives in the background during course, but they always come to the front after marriage.
Henry Ford and his party succeed in bringing about peace in Europe. Francis Joseph has been emperor of Austria for 67 years, which is longer than any other ruler in modern time has been on a throne. Dr. W. W. Christmas, naval architect, has a contract from the allies for several aeroplanes which will have a lifting capacity of 33,000 pounds.
J. L. Replogle, who started as a water boy at the age of eleven in the Cambria steel mills at Johnstown, Pa., recently bought the controlling block of stock in the company.
New York Now Luxury Market
London, the world's central market for the sale of luxuries of every description, has been practically closed and New York has taken its place. Custom house records show that the imports of the "luxury class" have increased enormously, particularly in the items of precious stones and works of art. As a single example, the American automobile industry's imports of crude rubber in the last year amounted to more than $111,000,000.
The present habit of turning night into day in our highly illuminated
towns, with all sorts of exciting entertainment, keeps the nerves keyed up and upsets the equilibrium.
A. M.
Children especially are apt to suffer from late hours and consequent lack of sleep. For the first two years of
life, eating and sleeping are the two great essentials. Babies should sleep from 15 to 20 hours out of the 24, and older children from 10 to 14 hours. It is not an unusual thing to see babies in arms or very young children being carried about until their parents' bed time. This is very injurious to the children and cannot be made up by additional rest the next day. Permitting children to remain up
Did You Ever Notice These Strange Traits Exhibited by Many Animals and Insects?
Did You Ever Notice These Strange Traits Exhibited by Many Animals and Insects?
There are a great many strange facts about animals and insects that seem to defy explanation. Here are a few, an exchange says:
A 25 will crawl to the top of a window pane, fly back to the bottom and crawl up again. Hardly ever does it fly up and crawl down. It has been known to repeat this former act over 30 times before stopping.
Hens always scratch for food with the sun behind them. A blind hen always manages to get the sun behind her when scratching, and she will miss but few bits of food.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet to the fire. In most cases they lie instead with their left side to it. Dogs invariably lie with outstretched paws to the fire.
A mouse overlooks a perfectly safe food supply, sufficient for a meal or two, to enjoy the perilous pleasures of an unlimited store. It will hide near the food and come out to nibble when hungry, for it is not true that a mouse will seek its hole at the first alarm.
If a small snake is kept in captivity and fed and cared for it will become tame, and after a few months crawl to its captor for food when approached. This is true especially of the small and harmless varieties.
The Cleopatra of War.
An American photographer who has been engaged in taking pictures of the European armies in action has noted an interesting exception to the well-known rule that seasoned soldiers pay little attention to the sights and sounds of battle which civilians find so impressive.
"Everywhere one goes," he remarks, "there is the roar of artillery. The men in the trenches get used to the firing and pay no attention. Every clear day, too, the air is full of aeroplanes. Battles in the air are a daily occurrence, but everyone still looks up to the fliers battling."
The time may come, of course, when the rattle of machine guns in the sky will receive from seasoned soldiers no more attention than they give to the fire of artillery to which they are not destructively exposed "but that adjustment of the nervous system has not yet come.

How to Know When Cold Is Coming and "Nip It in Bud"
Colds can be easily prevented if cure is taken to avoid those things which lower the resistance of the body and If one pays special attention to building up the resistance of the body. How important this is may be seen in the fact that athletes in training seldom, if ever, contract colds. How, then, are we to know that a cold is impending? First of all, in most cases there is a feeling of chilliness and slight feverishness. The head also feels stuffy and full; the mucous linings of the nose and throat feel dry and patched, due to congestion at these points. Frequently there is a feeling of languor, and an "aching" of the bones, especially at the joints. Headache is also often present, and lack of appetite. Bad breath and coated tongues are almost invariably present. The victim is usually constituted.
The "ripping" process consists, first of all, in getting the blood away from the head and chest into the lower extremities. The best means to this end is a hot foot bath—as hot as can be borne. A bucket of any kind will serve the purpose; especially good is a bucket that will allow the water to reach as near the knees as possible. Take particular palms to see that the room in which this treatment is given is warm and free from drafts.—Good Health.
Wealth in Alaskan Waters.
When Alaska was purchased for only $7,000,000, no one thought of its prospective value as a source of food products, a Providence Journal man states, Alaska now is regarded as the coming center of the fish supply of the world. A writer familiar with the great territory says:
"The sea beets upon 25,000 miles of Alaska shore line, a distance greater than the circumference of the earth. All of that vast stretch of waters is teeming with the most edible fish on earth. Every bay is a harbor where these fish can be prepared for the markets of the world, and the greatest ships abide can anchor in safety while taking on their carpoes."
The food wealth is no less important than the mineral wealth of Alaska, for the demand for foodstuffs of all descriptions is increasing and prices are advancing. The tapping of new sources of supply is most desirable.
Thousands of Women Making
Cannon in the Krupp Works
While the total number of employees of the Krupp works at Essen nearly doubled from August 1, 1914, to April 1, 1916, the number of women workers in that great gun plant increased more than tenfold during the same period, according to reports appearing in recent issues of German newspapers. On August 1, 1914, there were 36,880 men and 1,214 women employed at Krupp's while on April 1, 1916, the figures were 55,949 and 13,023, respectively. From the beginning of the current year to April 1 the number of male gun munition makers increased 1,338 and the number of female workers gained 2,006.
Before the war women were employed only in the selling departments and as cleaners. How the hard work in the cannon factory affects the women is shown by the report of the sick benefit fund for 1915, which gives the number of cases of illness among the women workers as 75.60 per 100, compared with 62.21 per 100 among the men.
RETURN TO WHITE FOR SEASON WEAR
When Fingers May be Used
FASHIONABLE WORLD HAS TIRED OF VIVID COLORS.
Most Women Will Regard the Change With Favor—Hats, Shoes, Gowns and Parasols Are All of
If you are in doubt about your color sense, there are certain things that you should dismiss without consideration, and you will have to be buckled up against temptation, because these certain things confront you on every side.
Orange, for instance; clashing combinations of black and white; all the ranges of tone in purple; anything in green that is deeper than cucumbers and young apples; all the tones of red and certain blues that are mixed with gray, with purple of mauve. Possibly, blue is the supreme stumbling point of women. It looks harmless in all its gamut of shades, yet it is as dangerous as a third rail.
There are few women who can come out in the sunshine wearing a mixture of these colors. One need not run from all of them because they are dangerous, for there are minor combinations of black and white, and especially green and white, that are admirable in midsummer. No woman should feel ashamed that she cannot employ the skill of an artist in choosing colors for her costume. She should remember that she can look her best in subdued colors, provened there is skill in the making and wearing.
She should grieve that she cannot turn from dark blue serge to a modern frock of purple and red; but she has cause for grievance if she is not able to make a blue serge look conspicuously smart in any gathering. * Possibly, the best-dressed women are those who rarely change the color of their gowns but who know how to make each accessory size up to its fullest value and impart significance to the whole.
It may be the heat, or the revolt against colors, or lustly, it may be common sense that has turned wom-

en's thoughts toward white costumes. Be the reason what it may, the pleasurable fact is that one sees at all the resorts hats, shoes, gowns and parasols in white.
There is a tendency to wear black velvet slippers with enormous cut silver or steel buckles with the costume and possibly to add a narrow flange of black tulle or chiffon to the brim of the hat.
Again, white colonial pumps will be worn with onyx colonial buckles, instead of white kid ones, and on the white felt hat will be mounted a few feathery tendrils of black peacock feathers.
White taffeta is not a preferred fabric for frocks. Satin has come back
EVENING GOWN

This beautiful evening gown is fashioned of heavy net and lace insertions over an underdress of pale pink soiree. The sleeves and bodice are piped with pink and a dainty touch is added by the cluster of pale blue roses at the girdle.
The epicure and the fastidious diner agrees that certain foods may be eaten without the use of fork or spoon. Saratoga chips are eaten with the fingers, as also are scallions, radishes, olives, celery, tarts, cakes and bonbons.
Asparagus, either hot or cold, when served whole, should be eaten with the fingers. Lettuce leaves, which may be dipped in either dressing or salt and then rolled, and strawberries, when served au natural, that is, with the stems'on.
Fruits of all kinds may be eaten with the fingers. Cheese is invariably taken with the fingers by the connoisseur.
Legs, wings and other parts of small birds are usually eaten in this manner. No particles of fat should be cooked foods. The rule that is un-

In combination with satin is georgette crepe, in a quality so fine that it resembles chiffon cloth. With its slightly pebly surface, which is the leading characteristic of this make of crepe, it is preferred by many women to its smoother and more expensive weave.
There is illustrated an extremely popular hat worn with country muslin frocks made of white felt and embroidered with flowers cut out of black lace.

and it is one that would be sure to prove sable and popular in a bazaar. For the workbox or basket that is in use every day, quite a small needlebook that can be carried away in one corner will especially be found quite sufficient and most convenient, but the book illustrated could, of course, if preferred, be carried out on the same lines in a larger size than that indicated in the sketch.
It is made of pale pink silk and lined with white silk and edged with silk cord, which is arranged in little loops turned inwards at the corners. It is fitted inside with leaves of fanel cut into tiny points at the edges; these leaves are fixed in place with a piece of narrow ribbon which is tied in a bow at the back of the book. Ribbon strings of the same color are provided to secure the book when closed. In the lining on either side of the cover there are pockets for packets of needles, one of which can be seen in the small sketch at the top of the illustration.
Upon the front the word "Needles" is worked with silk. At the points where the flagpoles cross a small horseshoe is worked with gold silk. The numbers round the sketch indicate inches.
LATEST STYLES IN PARIS
Their Most Distinctive Feature Is the Lengthened Skirt for Midsummer Wear.
Cheruit, Worth, Culot and Paquin have within the last week shown several attractive summer frocks, writes a Paris correspondent. Among these particular mention should be made of the Paquin two-piece tailored suit developed in Nattert blue mercerized cotton poplin. The jacket was of knee length and had raigan sleeves and a seamed front and back, with tight-fitting, well-rounded waist. The bottom of the coat and cuffs of the long sleeves were trimmed with a lattice work composed of bias bands of the material.
The skirt showed an increase in length of nearly four inches over that of the models shown at the spring openings.
The Worth model was developed in rose colored pique and showed a hip-length basque corsage, closing in double-breasted effect over a white lawn chemiseet.
Callot has shown her indorsement of the combination of a solid colored lawn with white organdle for the summer frock. Her latest model is built on princess lines and is developed in rose-colored silk fringe, with shoulder cape, cush, neck ruche and surplice sush, of the white organdle.
To Keep Plants Fresh
There is a simple way to water ferns and flowers which will be of interest to one who must leave them for a time without care. Take a washing tub and place three or four bricks in it and put about two inches of water in the tub. Place the flowers on these bricks and place the tub where they can get the morning sunshine.
alterable when serving foods is that they should be placed in an attractive manner and garnished and served at proper temperature.
Taffeta in Vogue
Taffeta continues in vogue and striped rajah is very effective; the coloring of those stripes is an art—the tan tones, the fuchsia shades, and the beautiful coral tints. Satin is worn, also tussore. Broadcloth is well to the fore. For evening Chantilly lace, large-patterned silks, and others a la Pampadour; likewise similarly patterned volles. Checks for daily wear assume many forms, some to be avoided.
Satin Sports Sults
The sports satin being used so much for outdoor clothes is made of wood fiber, is exceedingly glossy and in Spanish stripes and Scotch plaids it promises to have a certain vogue.

PARISIAN DESIGN THAT IS BEAU
TIFUL IN EFFECT.
Of Ivory White Jersey Cloth, With Embroideries of Soft White Silk —Coat Will Be a Favorite for the Winter.
My sketch shows one of Redfern's new models for seaside wear, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. In this case a beautiful quality of ivory white jersey cloth was used and the embroideries were worked entirely in soft white silks. The smart cont, which molded the figure, was finished off with a large white linen collar and cuffs to match.
This was a really exquisite suit. In the best of taste, in accordance with the traditions of the Maison Redfern and very new in outline. These shaped coats will be much worn all through the winter. They are tight, without being too tight, and the basque is given a distinct flare at the hem. Redfern is making coats of this order in fine gore and in pale-hued linens, and always with the greatest success.
Redfern, like all our other really good tailors, is making a number of plaited skirts—accordion plains, box plains, kilted plains. Indeed, the plaited skirt is now an established favorite. It will certainly play a leading role in the world of dress all through the winter.
The Parisiennes are asking for white costumes, and white costumes only. Very brilliant colors are being shown by all the leading dressmakers and tailors, but these are for the foreign markets. The really exclusive Parisiennes wear only black, navy blue, white or gray.
And this is easily understood, France is in mourning for her brave sons. Someone is missing in almost every home. How then can one expect the Parisiennes to appear in gay colors?
But even for the foreign markets an immense number of white costumes are being made this year. Among these white jersey cloth, white linen and ivory white crepe de chine take the lead.
Just the Amount of Material That Is Required to Make a 30 by 40-Inch Oval.
The pretty oval braided Japanese rugs seen everywhere now suggested to an ingenious girl the idea of using up the odds and ends of rugs in the house and crocheting them together instead of braiding them. While it may not appeal to one as a summer fancy work, still it's a good time to get one's strips together in balls and plan for long winter evenings.
To make a rug 30 by 40 inches oval requires 34 yards of material 36 inches wide. It is much prettier to choose two different colors, white and another solid color or 17 yards of white and the rest divided among two or three harmonizing shades. It must, however, always be remembered that In rug designing, like bouquet making or quilt patching, certain rules are infallible. There must be a distinct touch of dark, black or very dark blue or brown. Yellow and green set off all other colors and the prettiest rugs are divided equally between white and another color or group of colors.
To make a white and blue-striped rug, for example, tear 17-yard strips of white cheesecloth and blue calico into one-inch widths.
Begin with a chain eight inches long, crocheted with a heavy wooden crochet needle costing 10 cents or one of amber which costs 15 cents. Turn and put in eight stitches at the end. Repeat at the other end after crocheting back the eight inches of chain. Add eight stitches at the ends with every other row and this will
RIVIERA MODEL

For the Daytime the Drop Style is Distinctly in Order—Threes-Story Affairs Also Seen.
It is quite evident, judging from the fashionable women at the Belmont race meet, that drop earrings are a daytime fashion. While they often made the faces of those who wore them look a little bit older, on the other hand they gave a mischievous, pliant or quaint expression which went well with the 1830 or 1860 modernized lines of this season. The prettiest noted were those with two swaying chains dropping from each pearl ear-stud almost to the shoulders, each end tipped with a round pearl. Another interesting pair of earrings were three-story affairs. From each ear-stud of pink cameo dropped a long chain with two cameos, one in the middle of the chain, one on the end. Another odd pair, evidently antique, were long almond-shaped topstones, which swung to and fro through
Large black taffeta hats are taking the position which was held by black velvet picture hats last autumn. Taffeta hats look specially well when worn with a neat linen costume—and it is certainly true that taffeta is more suitable than velvet for the hot days of August. But this latter fact has nothing to do with the popularity of the taffeta hat.
Women of fashion have long ago thrust aside the idea of wearing summer things in summer and winter

form the oval. When the first piece of 17 yards of white is consumed, begin with the blue strip and alternate the two colors until all the strips are finished. This produces a graduated stripe rug.
A girl who has three brothers and a great many brothers' friends has made a rug of neckties, cut into inch strips and sewn together in harmonizing combinations. This rug is very beautiful and, being of silk, is quite valuable. The really loveliest and most durable ones of all are made of woolen materials, but if one buys outright for them it makes it more expensive and it takes a good while to accumulate just the right colors here and there.
SUIT ALMOST ALL WOMEN
Large Hat's Return to Favor Will Be Generally Welcomed, for Very Good Reason.
Almost all women are heartily glad that larger hats are the fashion. There is a mysterious allure about the big shady hat which shadows the face that is wonderfully softening and becoming. To young faces the new hats which curve deeply down at each side make really bewitching frames, especially when they are of some dark color and lined underneath the brim with some soft and delicate tint such as egg-shell blue, oyster pink or the pale putty shade that has proved so valuable for the purpose. Never has there been such a catholicity of choice as now. For, according to your requirements and what becomes you best, you can have either the close-fitting swathed toque, the tull, practically brimless hat of Cossack frame, surmounted by a cockade or a chon of ribbon; the dainty drooping Watteau or Dolly Varden, the charming and less exacting bell shape, or the great "cart wheel," always dear to the feminine heart—and head.

Embroidery Used.
Chiffon, georgette crepe and all other diaphanous materials, whether they are used for gowns or are a part of costumes of silk or cloth, are usually trimmed with embroideries. There is something plessingly pliant a bit of embroidery applied to a delicate diaphanous material. Often when used on these airy fabrics the embroidery is quite heavy, but is confined to a small space. A great quantity of it would naturally be apt to pull the material out of shape.
Gold and black embroidery motifs were used on a putty colored chiffon afternoon gown seen recently, and on a pale gray crepe gown there were embroideries of silver, gray and blue. A white net evening gown was trimmed with embroidery placed on the skirt to catch up the 'draperies at the side on the tiny sleeves.
