THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO.5. IN OLD MEXICO, ON THE BORDER! With Soldiers and Civilians of Both Countries. Interesting Reminiscences and Experiences of a Former Cleveland, Will E. Smith. C. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mex. April 14, 1916 Editor Gazette: Deni Friend: Again our black troops have shed glory on the race. In every war, in every difficulty, "the Colored troops have challenged the admiration of the world." And now again the Negro troops have wring praise from unwilling and hostile lips. The race should have been a victory for the event. It is utterly inexpressible how much that Carrizal, Mexico, occurrence is to be regretted. And the whole affair is one of the most peculiar combination of events in the annals of history; for the unwilling and hostile lips belong to those in whose behalf our heroes fought and sacrificed. It is the irony of fate! Is it not a peculiar situation, to say the least, where a people must fight FOR a country which places many restrictions upon them, denies them many rights, and practices discrimination in a thousand ways? And they fight AGAINST a people who oppose fraternity, opportunity, without limitation or restriction. An intelligent Mexican said to me: GOV. FRANK B. WILLIS. "Come to my country and be my brother. We have room enough for all—Chinese, Japanese, Negro, every body. You have no flag, no country, nothing. I give you everything." I replied somewhat heatedly and a little angrily that I was an American and the stars and stripes was my flag and I loved it. But he shook his head, unconvinced, and said: "Your flag! The stripes—perhaps, the stars, no! I heard you talk of your soldiers in Brownsville, years ago; just a few months ago these very men you call heroes were driven from Del Rio, Tex., by prejudice. I go to El Paso to see a movie, to run the theater, to church, to any part of a street car or railroad train, but you can. I am a Mexican, but I can do, or go, or be in your country whatever I will and marry and live where I choose, but many of these things you dare not try. Now in my country you try to shake his head he repeated. "No, that is not your country. You have none." What he said made me angry, for I was sure he did not understand, but as I had no reply ready I was silent. Putting his arm about me he drew me into a crowded restaurant where we seated ourselves at a table where were high officials and ladies. But that was in Mexico! I shall write you again "manana"—tomorrow. Your friend. WILL EDWIN SMITH. On the Mexican Border: Aug. 17, 1916 To Co. D, 9th Bat., O. N. G.: The reports at hand say that the Colored militia was not included in the call to defend the country against "the incursion of Mexican hordes." Well, every cloud has a silver lining. You were not needed because the raids ceased before the call was issued. If there had been any real danger you would have been captured and loudly, too. There is a certain thing that bullets must be stopped you will have bullet reason to complain that you were not included in the call. Then there will be great attention paid to you and by the rules of politeness you will be allowed to go-for-that. Preparing a camp is the duty of all soldiers. It has been my pleasure to have seen that all along the frontier by both regulars and state troops. That is fatigue duty. The only thing about what you did was that you did your duty—and the other fellow's, too. But that is the lesson that our people are learning, or have learned all over the U. S.: We must do double duty. All the labor and pain are ours, but the pleasures and the profits go to our brothers in white. Have you noticed that all white Americans Elled by Mexicans were not going after Mexicans but were otherwise engaged, but when the order came to pursue the pleasures and the profits "included" in the call FIRST and that THEY stopped the bullets at Carrival. So don't worry, for if there is real necessity, you will be mingling red blood with Mexican waters while the rest of the milita are still training in the camp you prepared for them. You complain of your treatment! Your governor misdirected you; indeed he commanded you to abandon the starry sky either follow. He gave you the bitter, but you wanted the sweet, too, to make your bitter sweet. Now, don't you know that war was not really expected? The very fact that you were excluded from the call ought to have told you that. Why, I've been all along the border and the soldiers and those enger for war at any cost with or without reason have been doing what are the soldiers doing on the border? One of two things: Doing police duty or having a good time. In many places they are patrolling the streets just as the police are doing in Cleveland. They pretend they are preventing uprisings of Mexicans here in the states. They might just as in Lake View cemetery, for those who are there. There are companies of Mexicans in the U. S. milita. A Mexican said to me: "They are going to send Colored soldiers and Mexican soldiers against Mexico first, and hold white men till last." Well, there isn't any war and there will be no war; and war was never expected. Why, then, were the soldiers called out and sent way out west? Because hard times were pressing and a place to eat, with good clothes thrown in, and $15 a month is the price of "sacrifice." It is a fine vacation and an education, too, to cross this continent and become acquainted with the country. That's where you lost the sugar when you got your lemon. The trip from the Canadian border to the Mexican frontier without expense would have been a great relief. The age of "sacrifice" is suffering; it is nonsense. In the United States vast sums of money are being raised to relieve destitution of dependents when the breadwinner has been away scarcely a month! And yet they sneer at poverty-striken Mexico after six years of internal strife. All Mexico asks is to be let alone. I am sorry that the 9th O.C. N.Y. has been the big education. Wishing you better luck later, I am a former member of Co. D. 9th St. O. N. G. WILL E. SMITH. NATL' WOMAN'S FEDERATION. Officers Elected - Splendid Meeting Mrs. Tatiana de Neceda Mrs. Washington Baltimore, Md. "The tenth biennial convention of our National Federation of Women's Clubs, held in this city, recently, was one of the most successful in the history of the organization. Nearly 500 delegates, representing almost every state of the United States, presided by T. Washington, the president of the association, presided. "The newly elected officers are: President, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, Buffalo; vice president at large, Miss Ida R. Cummings, Baltimore; chairman executive board, Miss Halle Q. Brown, Wilberforce, O.; treasurer, Miss Ida George, longtime secretary, Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Louisville, KY; first recording secretary, Miss R. B. Dunbar, Providence, R.

INTERESTING STATISTICS As to the Number of Colored and White Women in the South. Washington, D. C.—The U. S. census bulletin for 1910 gives the number of white women in Maryland as 369, 897 and the number of Colored women as 63, 899. The total of both white men and women is 458 and the number of white women only 127,862; the number of white women in Maryland exceeds the number of our men and women by 182,025. The total number of white women equals 82.9 per cent., while the per cent. of Colored women is only 17.1. There are 610,000 more white women than there are Colored women, and there are 2,000,000 more white women than there are Colored men and women combined. WON FIRST PRIZE. Buffalo, N. Y. - Miss Sarah May Talbert, of this city, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Talbert, was the winner of first prize, $25; offered by the N. A. C. W. for the best vocal, composition at Baltimore. Miss Talbert graduated, last year, from the New England Conservatory of music. Her engagement to Harry S. Sullivan of Cambridge will be an award. Mr. Keach finished Harvard/1915, and is engaged at the Hooker Laboratory, Niagara Falls, as chemist, holding one of the most responsible positions with that firm. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883. AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1916. Capt. William C. Harlee, U. S. M. C. is the pioneer in a far-reaching movement which has thrown open military rifle ranges all over the country to givlng land. He established the marine comm camp of instruction at Sea Girt in 1909, and was captain of the marine corps rifle team of 1508 and 1910. He prepared the small army regulations of the navy and is vice president of the National Rifle association. TROOPS ARE TO STAY UNTIL DANGER IS OVER Government to Retain Soldiers on Border as Long as Needed. Says Baker. Washington, D. C.-The national guard will be retained on the Mexican border until it can be withdrawn without, again, endangering American lives and property. Secretary of War Baker so declared the administration's policy in answering a score of letters from many parts of the country complaining that the state troops were being held in service after the emergency for which they were called out apparently had passed. In general the complainants, whose names were withheld, alleged that border service was entailing loss financially on militiamen and hardship on their families. The secretary replied to all those seeming to merit attention. By its presence on the border, he wrote to one, the guard is "winning bloodless victories daily." He declared that Americans resident along the international line were enjoying a peace and security they could not know without the military forces to protect them. The department appreciates, Mr. Baker said in another letter, the fact that a call for military service upon militia organizations must "inevitably present costs of hardship." To another correspondent the secretary explained that the national guard was maltainted for just such exigencies as that which now exists on the border, and that ti had cost the government many millions to prepare and keep it ready for such emergencies. He pointed out that national guardmen were fully aware of the duties they undertook when they enlisted. VILLISTAS ARE VICTORS VILLISTAS ARE VICTORS REPORT SAYS FORCE OF BANDITS DEFEATS CARRANZA GOV- ERMENT TROOPS. El Paso, Texas—A force of 60 Villa bandits engaged and defeated a larger command of government troops in the vicinity of Santa Yuela, Chihuahua, last Friday, according to private despatches here. The do facto command approximated 100 men and lost 20, while the outlaws, under J. Dominguez, lost but 12. The government troops commanded by Col. Charles Carranza, a nephew of the first chief, had been pursuing the bandits west along the line of the Mexican Northwestern railway. The outlaws reached a secluded canyon and, choosing their positions, gave battle, routing the Carranza command. Mexican authorities, here and in Juarez said they had received no reports of the engagement, although Col. Carranza has been operating in the district west of Chihuahua City. Eight Killed, 13 Injured Jackson, Tennessee. — Eight men were killed. 13 injured, two probably fatal, and several workmen are missing following an explosion of three boilers in the engine room of the Harlan & Morris woodworking plant here. The mill was completely wrecked. From Saloon to Pulpit. Chicago.—"It isn't what you used to be, it's what you are today," runs the song. And that sentiment seemed exactly to express the views of members of the Avondale Presbyterian church, whose pastor, Rev. William M. Saunders, not so long ago was the proprietor of a hotel and saloon at Uniportown, Pa. Rev. Mt. Saunders came to Chicago and entered McCormick Theological Seminary. He was graduated last April, was ordained and grow is pastor of the Avondale church. TEN NATIONS CLASH IN THE BALKANS Greeks Will Oppose Further Invasion of. Their Country by Bulgarians. BERLIN SAYS FORCES GAIN Heavy Fighting at Cine Quarters Reported on Some Front; German Attacks Are Repulsed; Russians Are at Standstill. London, England. The situation in the Balkans continues to hold the place of first importance in the war news of the day, with developments rapidly unrolling. The status of Greece and Romania and the increasing by heavy fighting which finds to natters clashing at arms were again the main news features of the day. Oppose Further Invasion. Reports from Saloniki that Venetians are rushing to arms in a volunteer movement to oppose the further invasion of Greece by the Bulgarians are coupled with Berlin assertions that bribery and the use of beautiful women have been resorted to by entferte secret agents in an effort to bring Romania to the side of the allies. The Bulgarian advance into Greece continues on both wings of the left side. The allies continue to hold their ground in the center and have advanced in places. On the western sectors of the front the Serbians are now offering much stiffer resistance and have succeeded at points in delivering strong counter blows against the Bulgars. Joining the troops of say orienta nations already here, a detachment of Albanians under the tribal chief Altaia landed at Salzburg during the day. The heaviest fighting reported occurred on the west-end of the line and the troops under Mackosen are reported to have made progress, besides repulsing Serbian attempts a advance in the Moldova region, further heights west of Lake Ostrovie have been cleared of the Russian and Serbian armies, Belia says Heavy Fighting Reported. Heavy Fighting... these squares continues along the whole of the Summe front. The British have made a new gain in the Thiepval sector, bringing their advanced front south of the village forward for a further 200 yards, while the Germans have recaptured trench sections near Estres, south of the Somme, which the French stormed on Monday. The new advance south of Thiepval brings the British within 500 yards less, than half a mile of the village, which they have been fighting on nearly two months. There was heavy fighting on this front during the night, the Germans attacking fruitlessly to regain last ground. A further advance on the Verdin front is reported by the French war office in an official statement. Everywhere on the 250-mile battle line from the Priet marshes down to the Carpathians, the general offensive launched by the Russians under Gen. Brusiloff in the first days of June has been brought to a standstill. At some points, particularly in Volhynia, northeast of Kovel, in the Serech valley, east of Lemberg, and in the Carpathians the Austro-German armies have launched successful counter attacks in the last 48 hours, regaining some lost ground. VILLA IS GOING SOUTH VILLA IS GOING SOUTH PERSHING REPORTS BANDIT ON WAY TO DURANGO WITH SMALL FORCE. Washington, D. C.—In a telegram to the war department Brig. Gen. Pershing reported that Francisco Villa when last heard from was making his way south into Durango with a small following and that his prestige was gone. The dispatch follows: "My last report regarding Villa's attack on Parral is now reported incorrect. Villa had only a small following. He avoided Parral and places occupied by Carranza troops. He was making his way south into Durango. Probably now hiding in mountains. "Until recently-Villa has been hiding since being driven to mountains of southern Chihuahua by our troops last April. His late attempt to obtain following reported as almost a total failure. Opinion seems general that Villa's prestige is gone and that he can never again become a serious factor in Mexican affairs." Army officers here were inclined to regard the report of Villa's loss of prestige as most important and likely to have a bearing upon the question of withdrawal of American forces in Mexico. Building Collapses. New York City.—Six men are missing, one is dead and several are dying in hospitals and a dozen others were injured as the result of the sudden collapse of a firestory brick cement in course of construction in the Bronx. A score of workmen were in the building and more than half this number were caught in the debris. City building officials inspected the ruins and charged that the cement used in the walls was of an inferior quality. Several arrests have been made. FORTUNE FAVORS RACE CONGRESS Veteran Editor Strikes Keynote In Timely Editorial. NATURE OF THE GATHERING Proposed National Convention of Colored Amoricans Should Reflect the Strength of the Manhood and Womanhood of the Race—Indications of a United Stand Against National Unfairness. T. Thomas Fortune, associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, veteran editor and notable champion of the political and civil rights of the colored race, seeks out in that paper a strong appeal or a united race gathering. He says: There is no need to argue the question as to whether the times are ripe for a national race congress. Such a representative gathering is of the most urgent importance, but it would fall utterly of its purpose if the best and strongest men of the race should not interest themselves in it and do all in their power to make the meeting a success. We have several organizations devoted to the work of looking after the citizenship rights of the Afro-American people, the most important being the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It has done and is doing a good work, it has seen to that in some way it has not met the demand for a proper race organization, although some of our best men and women are affiliated with it. The white friends who control it are of the very best in the nation, but they do not seem to get the credit in speaking for the Afro-American people that a proper organization of race men should be able to get. It is not our disposition to say or do anything that would affect the good work of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We only speak of this master in this way because it is our most representative organization at this time. We have before us a tentative call issued by Dr. Byron Zimmer, president of the National Equity Rights league, for the annual convention of the league, and he will state the date and place of the meeting within a short time. It seems to us that the name of place and date should have been instanced now and plenty of time given to work up the proper expression of the people's desire to have "a national race congress on citizenship rights." Dr. Garner signs up the reasons for such congress in the following striking paragraphs: "It has been wisely suggested, in view of existing unfavorable social, civic and political conditions confronting us as a people, that the National Equal Rights league invite and urge all of our people, in all sections of the country, to mute in a great 'national congress of colored Americans', and for the special purpose of voicing the feelings, and opinions of the race on these unfavorable conditions now surrounding us in this country, and also to decide upon the wisest and best methods for combating color segregation and all other forms of color discrimination. "After fifty years of so called freedom in this country, what is the prevailing condition of our colored American population? Briefly stated it is this: Our civil rights have been rendered almost futile. We are shamefully curtured politically. We are denied custody before the law. We are not allowed equal industrial opportunities. Our property and our very lives are not at all secure. And the black borders of lynchings 'innocent colored Americans continue unmatched. "The federal government's indifference toward all these injustices is but little less than the multifiltration of our great war amendments. Throughout the southland, and to more or less extent in the north, the increasing millions of our fellow colored Americans are being more and more reduced to the plitable condition of political serfs and social outcasts." This sounds very much like the eli- on statement of the race's case in equity that wont out from the National Afo-American league's convention in Chicago in January, 1890, when there was a spontaneous gathering of the hosts from all the states in the Union. The league promised to be for us what the Home Rule league under Parnell was for Ireland. George William Curtis said of it in Harper's Weekly that it covered all the needs of the Afo-American people and that if they failed to sustain it it would throw them back fifty years in the matter of contention for their civil and political rights. The great journalist proved to be a prophet, we retest to say, in this matter. When the meeting is regularly called the Tribute will aid in promoting a national congress that will reflect the strength of the method and woman- hood of the race in what it says and in what it does. We believe a proper sort of race congress would reach the public car in a way it has not been since the Afo-Am league ceased to be a power for each, especially in the matter of city agitation in our city and SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. PLANTERS SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM Hundreds of Colored Men at Work on Tobacco Farms. Economic Status of Our Race Greatly Enhanced by Fair Attitude of Thuffy New England Cultivators—National Urban League Takes Initiative, In Supplying Necessary Help. By LESTER A. WALTON Hartford, Conn. — It was the dawn of spring. All mature seemed to smile. But not the semblance of a smile decorated the countenances of the Hartford tobacco growers, usually a most joyful and affable lot, who were plunged in deep gloom. They had assembled to discuss the unprecedented labor shortage, which threatened to palyize the tobacco growing industry of the Connecticut river and Farmington river valleys and just at a time when a most profitable season was in prospect. All agreed that planters of shade grown tobacco would sustain a loss running into the millions unless something was done at once to replace foreign labor, which had left the tobacco fields in large numbers, having been bured to the munition plants throughout New England by the promises of larger wages. In the midst of the doleful proceedings M. L. Floyd, born and raised in the southland, but who has lived in the north for many years, grumply arose and loudly exclaimed. (Treatmen of the Connecticut Leaf, Tobacco association, I think I have the key to the situation—the employment of Negro labor.) First Skeptical About Negro Labor This suggestion did not meet with a ready and enthusiastic response, as Negro help had never been used on the tobacco plantations of New England. Many of the planters were skeptical as to the outcome of such an experiment. But so persistent was the originator of the plan in his pro-Negro arguments that one by one his associates became converted: Thus was been, right in the heart of Yankeland, the first significant move to supplant foreign labor with native labor, a step which has resulted in one of the biggest industrial upheavals in the north incident to the European war, which already has been a great boon to the colored American, improving his economic status and putting thousands of dollars into his pocket. When boiled down to a matter of dollars and cents, the substitution of Negro labor for foreign labor by the members of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco association means that the race will be richer by nearly $150,000 this year and that more than $300,000 will be made by Negro labor in the Harford tobacco fields next season. Prominent Men Guests of Planters. Heretofore the railroad, steamers and hotels have furnished the ambitious colored college student opportunities to make his tuition and expense money during the vacation months, and now another avenue of endeavor has been opened to him—the northern tobacco fields. Hundreds of students are taking advantage of this new industrial opening, $72,600 going to Negro education this summer. Not until recently did I know that in New England more tobacco was grown and on a scientific scale than anywhere in the United States. This information was imparted to me a few days ago when, as a guest of prominent planters, I was taken to the tobacco fields near Hartford. In the party were Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, Eugene Knuckle Jones, director of the Urban league. H. M. Newsome, a representative of the Hartford Daily Courant, and the writer, Fred B. Griffin, president of the Griffin-Neuberger Tobacco company; M. L. Floyd, general manager and principal owner of the Connecticut Tobacco corporation, and former Senator J. W. Alsop, a relative by marriage of Theodore Roosevelt and head of the J. W. Alsop farm, who acted as host. College Boys Working on the Farm. It is now harvest time on the tobacco fields, and the planters are using all available help. College boys are here from the south in large numbers, and during the month of August out of the 1,200 colored employees working on the various plantations, two-thirds are students. Howard university, Hampton, Morehouse, Georgia State, Virginia Normal and Industrial, Shaw, Palne and Virginia Union are among the institutions of learning represented. Howard has eighty old students at work, while Morehouse comes next with fifty. But the young men from Morehouse will earn more than the other students, having been fortunate enough to get on the job at the beginning of the season, June 1. They will take back to Arizona most of the $10,000 made tobacco. There are a number of teachers among the workers from southern colleges-grammar, ambitions, members of the face, who have been made forename or given other positions which enable them to earn more than the regular wage of $2 a day, amounting to $2 a month. Robbie to the teachers for working notes, the two teachers for plants are auxiliary and the rest of them to account and evaluate the work. THE EAGLE WITH THE BANNER "THE EAGLE WITH THE BANNER" DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD, Founder and President of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., Will Hold Conference of College and Secondary School Presidents at Durham, Nov. 21 to 24. Notwithstanding the fact that the National Tafling school, Durham, N.C. closed the past school year clear of debt, Dr. James E. Shearp, the president, has made practically no let-up in his efforts to provide a larger equipment to meet the growing demands of the institution. One of the new and much needed convenences to which Dr. Shearp has directed his attention is the starting of an automobile service to connect with the street car lines. In discussing this proposed feature Dr. Shearp calls attention to the fact that the institution is located two miles from the car lines and that in had weather students and visitors are put to quite some inconvenience in reaching the school. The president says if there are friends in Durham and visibility or elsewhere who own auto's which are a little worn and contemplate purchasing new ones the school would greatly appreciate a donation of useful cars for the above named purpose. Resides the good such a service, would be to the school, it would also open up a new source of revenue. In speaking of the institution as a busy, hardworking and necessary center of education for our people the Rev. Howard J. Childle, pastor of the First Congregational church at Winchester, Mass. says: "I have seen this school under working conditions. I know, its teachers and its students and can give it my unqualified endorsement as an institution worthy of strong and hearty support from white people, both north and south. Should its light be extinguished for lack of funds great darkness would settle over the hearts of those who look to it as a beacon of moral and intellectual progress in North Carolina." The property of the National Training school consists of thirty-two acres of land and nine-buildings. It is valued at about $150,000. The enrollment of students is 200. The institution is striving to uplift the race in a manner that will produce maximum results from minimum cost. Every dollar invested in the work will reach a larger number of deserving, ambitious pupils than in any other way. Trained workers can render a most effective service in the various rural or urban communities. The course of study at the school is designed for the specific purpose of training for a life of real service. The institution is fortunate to a marked degree in having at its head a man who is possessed of such broad and constructive ideas as those exemplified in the career of Dr. James E. Shepard. BETTER HEALTH CAMPAIGN Racial Tendency Not Toward Tuberculosis, Says Dr. C. H. Lewis. "The assertion that the colored people have a radial tendency toward tuberculosis was denied by Dr. Charles H. Lewis of Philadelphia, who in a recent address said: "The alarming spread of this disease among the colored people is due centrally to the fact that they are compelled through economic conditions to live in houses which are poorly ventilated and very insignificant," said Dr. Lewis. "We have done much in Philadelphia to curb the spread of tuberculosis, and it has been done solely by educating the members of our race in the fact that their surroundings must be healthful." Frank L. Jenkins Victor In Mile Run. The colored boys in the various athletic leagues in Greater New York and vicinity have made splendid records this season. The highest record during the month of August was made by Frank L. Jenkins of the St. Christopher Athletic club, New York, who at the monthly games in August beat his own record by running a mile in 4 minutes 31.5 seconds. He won over his competitions by twenty yards. Successful Tag Day at the Davis Home. The Davis Home and Day Nursery in Pittsburgh gave a reception to the workers who assisted in the tag day collection at the St. Francis church on Friday, August 15, 1900 was reported in the Journal. In the amount received in the day of the workers, it was paid an amount nearly $12,000.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1916. "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. When his Mexican friend finished talking to him no wonder Will Edwin Smith "had no reply ready and was silent." Who would not have been silent? Self and race respecting Ohio Afro-Americans who do not wish to vote for Willis for governor are going to have an opportunity to vote for a Republican—Rudolph A. Mack, Esq., of Cincinnati. Good! That the Georgia house of representatives voted down an anti-lynch bill is not surprising. The fact that the Georgia senate passed it, is, however; unless there was an understanding between the house and the senate. This was doubtless the case. We are quite sure that our thousands of readers do not require any urging to read carefully Will Edwin Smith's two letters on our first page today. Call your friends' attention to them, please. They are two remarkable communications. Gov. Frank B. Willis "handed the 9th, battalion a lemon" just as he had previously done in refusing to give our people appointments (personal) after voluntarily promising to do so. See Will Edwin Smith's letters on page 1 of The Gazette today. Chairman Williams of the State Board of Film Censors, in a letter to the editor of The Gazette, months ago, plainly stated that the members of the board, and NOT Gov. Frank B. Willis, are entitled to the credit for barring the infamous photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," from the state. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has not changed his mind for two weeks and the Democrats are wondering what he intends to spring on them next. Whatever it is, they are ready to change as soon as he gives them the tip. It is one of the gratifying developments of the campaign that the Hughes acceptance speech is better liked as the people of the country become more familiar with it. It was dignified, thoughtful and statesmanlike. Senator Hardwick, Democrat, of Georgia, says that if his state were not so overwhelmingly Democratic the management of the postal service during this administration would cause the state to go Republican. For the same reason, many states that are not so overwhelmingly Democratic will switch to the Republican column in November. President Wilson is a minority president. He was elected in 1912 because the Republican party was hopelessly divided. Now the Progressives have returned. The Republican party has unified itself and is again the majority party. To add to Wilson's weakness, the women voters of the country are declaring against him, making sure his defeat in the twelve western states where they have the suffrage. It looks as though he will have only the solid south in the electoral college. Recently the editor of a prominent Democratic newspaper in the Pacific northwest returned from a trip to New York and told his readers that prosperity was general throughout the east and that "the revival will probably extend to the west soon." Evidently the revival was slow getting out to the country where they have no war order business, for one of the largest and oldest lumber companies of the Pacific coast has just gone into the hands of a receiver, with debts aggregating three quarters of a million. In February, 1915, Senator Shafroth, Democrat, of Colorado, made the assertion that "there was never so high a protective tariff as now exists by reason of the war, because imports are nearly prohibited by the fact that there is war, and consequently American factories are in a position to have no competitors whatever." That remark followed numerous quotations from newspapers showing the revival of business, especially in war order lines. All of which was pretty good protection argument, coming, from a Democrat. PREVENT MOB VIOLENCE. At least one thousand Afro-Americans have been brought to Cleveland in recent months to work in the large plants of this city. Hundreds of their women and children have followed them here. Too many of them are "undesirable" residents whose conduct already has made conditions much worse for our good people of this community. As far as we have been able to learn, this has been the case in other cities of this section of the country that have acquired any considerable number of them. There is need, among our people of this community, of a citizens' organization that will make it its business to look carefully into the situation and deal with it as best it can, promptly, before there are serious results that will redound to the everlasting shame and disgrace of all of our people in Cleveland as well as the city its self. From time to time, for weeks, The Gazette has sounded this note of warning, calling particularly upon our clergymen for leading action in the matter because they are supposedly charged with the moral and religious welfare of our people of this community. We did and do this, however, in a kindly and not "a carping spirit." The matter is of such commanding importance that it deserves immediate attention regardless of all else. Take heed before it is too late Too long, already, have we delayed. AN EDITOR'S MISTAKES. The Cleveland Gazette virtually acknowledges that it has failed to hold that city down to the ways of civil righteousness. This would not be such an alarming fact had it not been for the superior claims of Editor Smith who maintained for years that Cleveland was above reproach. The leading spirits wouldn't hear to a colored Y. They would hear to a colored Y. Their ability to hold the schools mixed. And all which is commendable. It was thought, however, that the town was absolutely a "free port." Now comes the harrowing tale that the parks are not free in all particulars to the colored people. Certain days in the year are colored folk days, and at which time all of the concession people proceed to do them up. The Gazette is raging, but to what purpose remains to be determined, are doing fairly well in this city in such matters. We could find considerable trouble if we would look for it.—Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Our esteemed confrence of The Freeman is wrong in saying that The Gazette has ever claimed that "Cleveland was above reproach", but is right in announcing that "the leading spirits" here will not hear to a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. movement. Our public schools are "mixed", having about thirty-five Afro-American teachers hardly any one of whom has even one pupil of the race in her classes. The public parks are all "free in all particulars to the Colored people". The one "park" (Luna), a place of business rather than a park, controlled by private individuals, is rented by "punished" Norroes once twice a year for "Negro celebrations" but is open to all persons every day of the season, although there is discrimination in its dance hall, roller skating rink and bathing pool. It is this latter that would estop manly, self and race respecting members of the race from renting the place at all. Our people here could wipe out the discrimination in that "park" if they would only use our Ohio Civil Rights' law, and that is what we are trying to get to do, and expect to succeed, too. Our contemporary could help to make conditions in Indianapolis infinitely better for our people, possibly nearly as good as they still are here in Cleveland, if it would only "look for and find con siderable trouble" there that has been crying aloud, almost to high heaven, these many years for action along the lines of "civil righteousness." OUR LARGE CITY POPULATION. YOUNGSTOWN.—The census report of 1910, the last regular census taken, gives some interesting statistics with regard to Afro-Americans. Lowell, Mass., has the smallest population of our people, 133, of any of the cities given and, if we except greater New York, Washington, D. C., with its 94,46, the largest. Of these southern cities in the list, New Orleans leads, its Afro-American population being 89,262. Atlanta, Ga., has 51,909; Birmingham, Ala., 52,308; Louisville, Ky., 52,196; Nashville, Ky., 36,523; Richmond, Va., 46,733; St. Louis, Mo., 43,960 and Baltimore, Md., 84,749. Chicago, Ill., in 1910, had 44,103, a larger number than that of any other western city given in the list. Philadelphia is credited with 84,459; Pittsburgh with 25,623 and Boston with 13,564; Greater New York, 133,418. These figures will be something of a surprise to many people who, without taking the trouble to themselves, imagined that pretty nearly all of our people live in the south. LOVING—McCARY.

HONORS HIS PREDECESSORS Leadership of Our Representative at Capital of Little West African Republic Has a Beneficent Effect Upon the Natives—Mrs. Curtis Interested In Social and Educational Affairs. Mourovia, Liberia.—The Hon. James L. Curtis, American minister here, is succeeding admirably in his work at the American legation. He is a man of broad and constructive ideas and is giving the inhabitants of this little republic the benefit of his experience and knowledge of human affairs. Minister and Mrs. Curtis are both enjoying good health and are active in social service work among the people. Mrs. Curtis volunteered some time ago to teach corset and dress making in the college of Liberia, and her efforts have been highly successful. Besides teaching regular classes of students, Mrs. Curtis gives instruction to teachers in other departments of the institution. She is a woman of splendid dact, having had considerable experience in club work among the women of America. Minister Curtis has endeared himself to the people of the west coast by his patriotism and zeal for the cause of his government, whose interest he at all times seeks to enhance. On Memorial day the exterior of the American legation was literally covered with American flags in honor of the nation's dead. The American colony in Monrovia observed Memorial day with elaborate ceremonies, which began with a march to the new cemetery, which was led by a detachment of the Liberian frontier force under command of Lieutenant Webster. Arriving at the cemetery, the American minister led the way to a spot through thick underbrush, recently cleared, where he pointed to the remnants of two diapidated headstones, not more than fifteen feet apart, which he told those present marked the graves of Henry Highland Garnett and W. A. Hopkins, American ministers, who died and were buried in Monrovia in the early eighties and whose graves had been so neglected that their location was unknown to the oldest inhabitant. Minister Curtis exhibited an age colored map which, after a search of several months, he had secured, showing a tree and a path which made certain the identification of the graves. Mr. Curtis then asked that every one join in singing "America," after which he spoke of the life and character of his deceased predecessors. He spoke with great feeling of Henry Highland Garnett, who, like himself, was a graduate of Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, and concluded his remarks by reciting Bryant's "Thanatopsis." The graves of the late Mrs. Lyon, wife of former Minister Ernest Lyon; Captain Newton of the Liberian frontier force and James G. B. Lee, the late Brooklyn surveyer, were also profusely decorated with flowers, and at the head of each grave a small American flag was left flying to the breezes. Beautiful copper headpieces, properly inscribed, donated and shipped by Major Charles Young, were placed at the graves of Captain Newton and Mr. Lee. After the ceremony the buglers from the Liberian frontier force blew "taps," and the firing squad fired "taps," which brought to a close the ceremonies of the day. Minister Curtis, it is said, has secured the necessary consent and in the near future proposes removing the bodies of the two dead ministers to the spot recently conveyed to the American legation by Major Charles Young, which is the most conspicuous as well as the most desirable spot in the cemetery. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Widespread Interest In the Proposed Meeting, Says a Virginia Paper. The Richmond (Va.) Planet indores the call for a national congress of colored Americans. The Planet says: Widespread interest is being shown in the proposal made by Rev. Bryon Gunner, president of the National Equal Rights league, that the colored people hold a national race congress and get together on their civil and political rights and disabilities. In the tentative call the Rev Mr. Gunner, from Hillburn, N. Y., advises that his get together meeting be held within sixty days at some central location in the north. The secretary of the league, William Monroe Trotter, joins in urging the congress and asks leaders in each community to form equal rights committees and arrange meetings to send representation. An exchange of views on the project is invited, the secretary's address being 27 Cornhill, Boston. Praeching Gospel of Co-operation. Some of the ministers of our race at Savannah, Ga., are co-operating with the Local Negro Business league by preaching sermons based upon the importance of supporting race enterprises SENT NORTH TO WORK Nearly 1500 More in the Past Twelve Days. Memphis, Tenn.—Between 1,200 and 1,500 Negroes have been sent to points in the north during the last 12 days for work in ammunition plants. Hundreds preceded them. They represent the shipments made by Lymus Wallace, Negro labor agents, Lymus sax, and that several labor agents were in the field for Negro labor and a couple more arrived that day for the same purpose. He said that he had sent about 1,500 to Chicago, Waterloo, Iowa, Detroit, Cleveland, and to Pennsylvania. FERGUSON DIES IN AFRICA. First Episcopal Bishop of Colored Race. Held Post at Monrovia, Liberia. The Domestic and Foreign Mission Society of New York on Thursday, Aug. 3, received a cable dispatch from Monrovia, Liberia, which announced the death of the Right Rev, Samuel D. Ferguson, bishop of Liberia and West Africa. Bishop Ferguson had the distinction of being the first man of the colored race elected to membership in the house of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States. Bishop Ferguson was nearing his seventy-fifth birthday. For over three decades he had been a noted figure in the Episcopal church. He visited America frequently to attend the conferences of his church. In 1907 the late Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York entertained him at dinner in Richmond, Va., for which he was severely criticised throughout the south. Bishop Ferguson was born in Charleston, S. C., and emigrated with his parents to Liberia when six years old. He was educated in the mission schools and was an excellent student, giving early promise of being a leader among his people. In 1862 he was appointed a teacher and began his studies for the ministry. Three years later he was admitted to the church as a deacon, being appointed a priest in 1868. As a priest his work attracted attention, and he was soon suggested for further advancement. The house of bishops assembled in New York in 1884 and elected him missionary bishop of Cape Palmas and its adjacent territory, the diocese later being changed to that of Liberia and West Africa. On June 24, 1885, his consecration took place in Grace church, New York. During the same year he received the honorary degree of D. D. from Kenyon college, and in 1893 Liberia college conferred on him the degree of D. C. L. Bishop Ferguson came to America to attend the three hundredth anniversary of the Episcopal church in America in 1607, and it was said then that he would be the first colored man to sit in the chancel of St. Paul's church, the church which Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee attended in Richmond, Va. He was then the ranking missionary bishop of his church, having succeeded Bishop C. C. Penick, who resigned as bishop of Cape Palmas in 1883. After Bishop Penick's resignation the church decided to send no more white men to Central Africa under present conditions, and Bishop Ferguson's appointment was the result. Bishop Ferguson was commended for his tact in the face of the race prejudice in the south. When he attended the convention in Boston in 1904 he was made much of, but made no application for quarters through the hospitality committee when called upon to attend the convention in Richmond. He corresponded with the Rev. C. L. Somers, rector of the Church of St. Philip, and was entertained by William C. Scott. RAISING FUNDS FOR THE SLATER NORMAL SCHOOL W. A. Blair Shows Interest in Institution at Winston-Salem, N. C. William A. Blair, Esq., a prominent banker of Winston-Salem, N. C., who is much interested in the Slater Normal and Industrial school in the above named city, is a good friend of the colored people. In speaking of the growth and needs of the institution recently Mr. Blair says: "Some time ago one of our citizens tendered the trustees $5,000 provided they would raise same amount for a hospital for the sick and where colored girls could be educated for trained nurses, thus introducing an employment for colored women which is peculiarly well adapted to the south. "His offer was accepted, and we have built the hospital. The graduates, students and friends of the school did much of the manual labor. "The state officials, seeing the good effects upon the colored people, offered the school $12,000, provided the trustees raised the same amount. We have made a strong effort and have raised a small part of this amount to meet the offer of the state. It is totally impossible for us to raise it here, as our own people have already done all they can; hence we are appealing to the friends of education in all sections of the country for financial aid. "The state has generously advanced money, and we beg you to please do your utmost to help raise $12,000. Thus, with $24,000 cash in hand, we can increase the plant greatly, as the colored people will do much of the manual labor free. "The state has just completed a $15,000 dormitory for girls at its own expense. Every dollar now means $1 to the school." It is suggested that subscriptions of $1 each be sent to Mr. Bair, care of the People's National bank, Winston-Salem, N. C. Workers Among Young People Meet. The Pennsylvania Baptist state Sunday school convention and the state Baptist young people's convention each held their annual meeting in Pittsburgh the latter part of the first week in August. Mr. William Strothers is president of the Sunday school convention. He is a well known and thoroughly capable religious worker and presided over the two days' meeting of the convention with great ease and clarity. The Young People's union and George H. Newman had a large number of active workers as delegates, who made cheering reports.

In what I say as to brotherhood and opportun- ity denied to none because of race, in that word race I include the Colored American and am mindful of your problems. There are parts of my career I cannot bring into polities, but in the position that I have taken is to be seen my principles as to equal rights. Americanism is a spirit. It means equality of opportunity, char- acter, intelligence. In intellect, in character, in equality of opportunity there is no, there can be no color line, That is the Americanism for which 1 stand.” ‘Mr. Hughes spoke as man to man, impressing his hearers as earnest and sincere.

His reason for adopting the girls, he testified, was Decause their mother iad pleaded with him, when she was taken ill, to care for them. He tad known them all thelr lives, he said, and was fond of them. Anna, the oldest, ia 18 and her sis. ter, Alice, is 18. They have made their home with Morrison since their adop- tion @ month aro, “Morrison attended my wife's fa- netal with mo in June,” Burnstein tes. tified. “I told him of my wife's con- fession. Morrison said: ‘Very well, TMH fix tt up with you.” ‘The action before Judge Landis was ‘& petition to appoint a receiver for Morrison's properties, which have been variously estimated at from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000. One of the contentions ‘wos that Morrison had adopted the two girls to prevent the city of Chi- engo from receiving the estate, which, under the will of his father, wes to be used for educational purposes if Morrison died childiess. Morrison is alleged to have given away to certain friends more than $2,000,000 of his estate during the last Seven years, One of the transactions concerned was the transfer to James Ward, his attorney, of property on which the Hotel Morrison now stands. It {8 dociared to be worth more than $2,000,000, Pregorty valued at $500,000 was given to the lawyer unconditionally. "The transfer was made shortly after Judement had been obtained against Morrison. It was’ brought out before Judge Landis ithat John Sommers, who said he-had known Morrison for 25 years, hatt received $200,000 for providing ‘the aged millionaire with amuse. ment. Judge Landis restrained Attorney Ward from collecting rentals amount- ing to about $5,000 monthly on prop- erty Morrison had presented to him, and: also declined to permit Ward to appear as counsel io the hearing now ‘before the court.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Nashville, Tenn., affords un instance of race co-operntion that is most en- couraging. A section of the city In- Labited by poor people of both the White and colored races was swept by fire last spring. - Over 2,000 people were left homeless, The negro bourd of trade was first to take vigorous measures for relict. It gave its support to Dr. George B. Haynes, who established headquarsers in the stricken neighborhood, and with a band of volunteer workers from the colored population of the city began at once to organize temporary and per- manent ald for the sufferers, White citizens opened similar headquarters ueross the street. ‘The two agencies met dally in their ministrations and the white citizens were so impressed hy the efficiency of the negro orguniza- tion that they invited it to join forees with them and eentrstize the work. ‘Te Invitation was necepted. ‘the Immediate task being more et feetively accomplished by this co-op: eration, the workers were encouraged to plan for larger things. A call was Issued for the organization of per manent league to deal with socll prob: tems. ‘The response was most gratify: ing and the Public Welfare league emne into existence on a busis that ob- dikepatan tha colar Mins. As a matter of fuct, there Is more democracy among the colored people than among the whites. People of good character and intelligence who may be serving in some ordinary capacity are more generally received by their well-to-do colored brothers and sisters than among the whites. ‘The highly educated colored person 1s not nearly so unhappy us you ple- ‘ture him, and he does not inek for ‘desirable associntes. In the best circles may be found people who are the intellectual equals of any other race. In these elreles may be found retired capitalists, ministers, lawyers, doctors, business men, professors, edi- tors, teachers, ete—men and women who have had the best training America and Europe could give. There are so many of them that there are several “sets.” A number of new commercial enter- prises have recently been undertaken in northeast Siberia. Many todine works have been established in the neighborhood of Vindivostok, on the shore of the Jupanese sea, the lodine eing made from seaweed found there in abundance. An Interesting distil- lery for ether has been opened, the bulk of the ingredient being violets and Iris blossoms from the Ussnrl coun- tryside, A good deal of amber Is be- ing collected from the beach along the coast of the Premorsk and many new salt workings have heen opened in the government of Irkutsk and in the Lena hinterland in the vicinity of Viluisk. The chestnut blight bas already done damage estimated as close to $50,000,000. ‘The disease attacks both American and European species, but does little damage to those from Japan and China, Plant breeders by cross: ing Japanese chestnut and native chinquapin have produced resistant trees Some of the Chinese chestnuts are sald to grow 100 feet high :n their home forests, It ts a mighty effective dun that eol- ects the averaze man's thoughts. ‘To the’ gossip the breath of scun- dal is as the breath of life. In his presidential address at the tast meeting of the South Afrienn Assocta- tion for the Advancement of Science, R. T. A. Innes called attention to the Inrge number of astronomleal ob- servatories, some of them admirably equipped, Which are dong tittle or no work, beyond, perhaps, talntaining a tme service or meteorological service of local importance. He stuted that “at least two of the observatories pos- sossing exceptionally Inrge refracting telescopes have not contributed one month's work from them in the last 20 years.” At least 88 per cent of the observatories listed In the Brit- Ish nautical alimanne publish nothing.

The Importation of natives from South Africa, In order to. relieve the shortage of agricultural Inbor in Eng- land, 1s proposed by A. J. Fuller of the South African senate, who is now in London. His scheme is to choose carefully 8e- lected Individuals, who would be a¢- companied by trusted leaders of their own, and he is confident that if men belonging to widely known families and holding responsible positions were chosen, the experiment would be suc- cessful. He also proposes that colo- nists who know the nutives and ean su- perintend hem shall aecompnny: them from South Africa, Me. Fuller speaks with knowledge of the South African natives, having represented a constituency with one of the largest black populations in the country.—Loudon Globe. It you are a farmer, do you happen to know how many kinds of grasses there are? Five thousand! But out of this great number man uses only 19 varieties, us a rule, and only five of those are extensively cultivated.

Two celebrities, one a stut- terer and the other deaf, were intro- need at a ten. After the tea the stut- tering celebrity was asked how he and the deaf one had got on. “Oh, we got on fine," he answered, “I couldn't talk and he couldn't hear me.” ‘Those who have had experience with him under arms testify that the American negro takes most readily and efficiently to soldiering. ‘The limit of the carrying power of thunder ts about fifteen miles, while twice that number of miles 1s not con- sidered any great distance for the sounds of battle to travel, Happiness and the light heart are among the general characteristics of the black soldier.

As long as they are moving In the breeze they are sup posed to be recording prayers for the benefit of those who put them up. ‘The original dome of the capitol in Washiugton was made of wood, cov- ered with copper. | eee eee UGLINESS OF PAST BECOMES) Dut anotler Dit of Victorianism ts p creeping over the land. | = ai tee ae Oe pane tae nee cote } spiration, instead of the present and Act of Pari te Making Even Woreted| Fiore, tas life another bit of fey een See work out of early Victorianism and as Novelty. daring modern fashions.

"The idea was greeted with ripples of applause for its andacious novelty. Yet, it was a revival from Victorian days. ‘The girl with her bird did not have her novelty to herself very long. All winter, we have been beseeched to buy exquisite Chinese bird eages with bril- liantly plumaged birds seated in them, to be hung In any room of the house, whether a cottage or a palace, Tiny birds that glistened lke beetles then came into fashion insteud of the canary, which resembled a new- born chicken, ‘The milliners seized upon this sym- bol of Victorianism, the gaudy parrot, und painted und embroidered it oa such a quality of huts that the price quickly sank to 98 cents, ‘The parrot has passed as a novelty ‘and # fnablousble pastime in millinery, GOOD MOP MADE AT HOME.

Here and there, throughout the dec- fades since the Separate blouse was Invented, there have been individual women who have firmly held to the conviction that a woman's figure never looks well when sharply dl- vided at the waistline by two oppos- ing colors and fubries; and these women have insistently kept on their coats in and out of the house. ‘The coat might have been of a lighter ma- terlal than the skirt in winter weuth- er when it was intended for the house, but it served the purpose of making fa strong line of the same color from shoulder to heel. Ripbon Modes. Both wide and narrow ribbons are generally used on gowns and hats, and narrow ribbons ate used for rouches, frits and rosettes. Soft silks are used for quillings, both vgrtical quillings, or In a series, one Inside the other. Whole hats are made of moire ribbon with a fancy edge. Sinart girdles are made of three of more shades In pas- tel colorings. A favorite combination is rose, old blue and violet. Ribbons with a metal thread forming the edges and Ines running through the middle make them stiff enough to stand out crisply when shirred to form a ruching or plaiting for a frill, A ribbon in hunter's green with spots of cerise and violet in geometric pre cision inside the border are sultable for a sports dress.

It Is the worsted rose. France, look- Ing at the past for her clothes in- splration, Instead of the present and future, has lifted another bit of faney work out of early Victorianism and flung it into the current of the most daring modern fashions. We already have tulle and satin gowns caught up with bulbous roses, made of soft, fine wool, in enchanting colors. Serge sults are eaught at the walst- line ond neck with small roses in green, searlet, yellow and black. Tn- formal linen suits, in the natural tone of the linen thread, have black and green wotated roses somewhere on the ya Ly ar bs | & | gf) Ip surface where they catch the eye and do the most good, For some months, France has been wearing bats trimmed with large, sworsted roses and Alpine flowers done in green and white wool, On whatever material she wishes to put these colored worsted threads, she can do so. Even organdie serves as a suitable background, ‘The fashions that concern us most at the present moment, are the crewel rose and the sumpler eross stitching. No matter how far a woman is from Parts, she can use both these meth- ‘ods of trimming with a lavish hand. Some of the strips can be a shorter length und should be in the center of the mop. When sufllcient strips have been cut (and this can easily be told by bunching them up until there is a nice fat bundle), tle them to- gether about am Inch from the top with string. ‘This must be done very securely by Dinding the string round and round. Now a long stick will be needed, like a bamboo; if there is not one to hand, ‘one ean be bought cheaply. ‘fo fasten the mop to the handle, open it out like In the swall diagram ; run the stick through the center of it. This Is easily done. Now take one or two strips of the mop and put over the end of the stick and drive a nall through the strips and into the stiek. In this way the mop Is well secured nnd is as firm as a rock, ‘To work, simply rub the mop along the Moors, don't bend the back at all; it 18 surprising how the mop will not only take up the dust, but polish the floors; it may be used with some liquid polish if liked, and can be washed again and again by simply Aipping it up and down In soapy water and putting it in the open to dry.

New Parasols Are Quaint. The sexson Is eouspieuvus for the novelty and charin of tts parasols. Among the novelties are sunshades of ail kinds of queer and quilt and un- usual shapes, many of them having stripes that radiate from the stick. Stripes are a grent feature, whether the parasol be dome shaped or pagoda shaped.

ARRANGING THE PLATE RAIL Avoid the Monetony of Continuous Line of Objects of the ‘Sane Size, An attractive way to arrange the plates along a plate rail, to avoid Ue monotony of a continuous line of objects practically all the same size, is to group the plates by ones, twos und threes, with a space of two feet or so between the groups. For ex- ample, a large round plate or oval platter may stand alone; farther along, two plates of the same pattern may stand together, one slightly overlap- ping the other; after another space there may be @ group consisting of one large plate with a small one each side, the small ones very slightly overlapping the large one. Another xroup of two, a space, then another group of three or a single beautiful plate standing alone, may follow, and 0 on around the room, ‘The effect Is much more restful and the plates are better displayed than when ar- ranged without a definite scheme, rigs Weekeal aispaiia: Two pretty aprons were seen the: other day, both made out of a length of heavy linen toweling, about 18 or 20 inches wide.

This end was gathered into belt that is brought around to the front, where it festens with an embroidered button. ‘The other end, which can be made to reach as far down as desired, is em- broidered with colored sprays of flow- ers. ‘The same design appears near the neck, too; ‘The other apron was rounded under the arms to form a bib and was fastened with straps that reached from the shoulders and crossed in the back. ‘The raw edges of the apron were finished in an over- stiteh of blue, and the straps and bot- tom of apron were both ornamented with sprays of flowers embroidered in the blue.
