THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 6. IN UNION UNDER ASSUMPTION ROUMANIANS TAKE AUSTRIAN TOWNS Russians Reported to Have Captured Principal Passes of Carpathians. BULGARIANS SEIZE DRAMA Reports Greece in Turmoil Over Probability of Entering Conflict; Berlin Reports Repulse of the British Troops. Amsterdam, Holland.—The Roumanians are smashing ahead in their drive for the Hungarian plains and have reached several enemy points beyond the frontier, according to the latest Bukharek dispatches. An official statement reports the occupation of a village not far from Kronstadt, one of the Roumanian objectives. The Russians, meanwhile sweeping southward to effect a juncture with the Roumanians, have captured the principal passes of the Carpathians, according to communications from London via Rome. Petrograd Reports Gains. Petrograph Reports Gains. The Russians have captured Panker mountains in the Carpathians on the Bulgarian border, the Russian war office announces. The village of Rafał, on the Bystritza-Nadverna river near the border, also has been captured, says Petrograd. Unconfirmed reports on operations along the Roumanian front bring word the Roumanians are bombarding the Danube towns of Rustchuk, Bulgaria, and Orsova, Hungary, and that Bukharest has sent an ultimatum to Bulgaria, demanding the evacuation of Serbia. Another report is that Turkey has declared war on Roumania. This, of course, is not unexpected. The central powers, it is said, will not attempt to defend the entire Roumanian border, owing to its crookedness and to the many troops required to protect it. Zurich, Switzerland, reports that Roumanian cavalry has crossed Rothenhmur pass and is approaching Harmannstadt, Hungary. While Greece is in a turmoll over the possibility of entering the war, Paris reports the city of Drama, one of the principal places in northeastern Greece, has been seized by Bulgarians after a battle with the Greek garrison. On Western Front. On the western front Berlin declares German troops in the region of the Somme repulsed strong British attacks along a line, from Ovilliers to Pozieres and between Guillemont and Maurepas. British detachments which penetrated the German positions at points north of Ovilliers and Pozieres were defeated in hand-to-hand fighting. Paris says the French launched another attack on the Verdun front east of Fleury and made further progress. Russian forces operating in the region of Lake Van, in Kurdistan, according to information received here from Petrograd, have pushed their way to a point six miles from Bitlis. NATIVES IN BAD PLIGHT CONDITIONS IN MEXICO REPORTED TO BE WORSE THAN AT ANY TIME. El Paso, Tex.—The conditions in Mexico are worse now than at any time during the last six years of revolution. Americans arriving here from Mexico City and other interior places bring this information to the border. Refusal to accept Carranza paper money in payment for their work is causing the executions of hundreds of laborers by the Carranza military authorities. Workmen receive 10 pesos in currency for a day's toil. That means about 25 cents gold. When they refuse to accept the paper their employers complain to the nearest military headquarters and the laborer is shot. This has happened scores of times in the districts around Mexico City, American arrivals say. Typhus fever is raging throughout the country. Hundreds are dying, for only the very wealthy can afford to pay $50 a bottle for the necessary medicines. Famine is spreading and the meat supply has been commanded by government officials. Santa Cruz Favers Sale. St. Thomas, D. W. I.—The legislature of Santa Cruz has adopted legislature of Santa Cruz has adopted and cabled to the Danish government at Copenhagen a resolution favoring sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. The colonial council of St. Thomas and St. Johns, the two other islands of the Danish West Indies, already have taken similar action. Takes Over Catholic Churches. Mexico City, Mexico—Gen. Carranza, in a decree just made public, announces the nationalization of property of the Catholic church in Mexico. The churches nominally will be controlled by the clergy. The government, however, reserves the right to police them and prevent them from being used for any purposes other than prescribed by law. The government also reserves the right to continue their use as a place of worship after one year's service. PRINCE MAHIDEL universalat film service Prince Mahidel of Songka, brother of the king of Slam, who has come to the United States to study sanitation for the health health conditions in his own country. Declares War on Autria-Hungary; Germany Recalls Her Representatives. Amsterdam, Holland.—Roumania has cast the die and is at war with the central powers. Swayed by the diplomacy of the allies, Bukharest, long on the fence, has decided to hurt her trained army of 600,000 men into the fray in an eleventh-hour attempt to carve a much larger place for herself in the Balkan states. Roumania's entry came in the form of a declaration of war against Austria-Hungary. Berlin is crying "treason," "treachery" and "broken treaties," but with characteristic vigor has replied with a declaration of war on Bukharest. Bulgaria and Bulgaria are expected to follow suit if they already have not done so. Fighting already is raging in the new war theater. The first clashes between troops of Roumania and the central powers occurred in southeastern and eastern frontier mountain passes of Hungary, says an official statement given out in Vienna. The Roumanian attacks are described as "treacherous." Roumanian prisoners were taken on the Transylvanian frontier. Advance guards came into contact at Rothenhurm pass, 15 miles south of Hermanstadt, Transylvania, and in the passes south of Kronstadt (Brasso). Berlin officially verifies this announcement. After the Austro-Hungarian minister to Bukharest had received his passport and the Roumanian minister to Vienna had called for the papers that meant a severance of diplomatic relations, Berlin gave out the following statement: "After Roumania, as already reported, disgracefully broke treaties concluded with Austria-Hungary and Germany, she declared war yesterday against our ally. "The imperial German minister to Roumania has received instructions to request his passports and to declare to the Rolmanian government that Germany now likewise considers herself at war with Roumania." Convinced He's Out of Politics. Chicago, Ill. — Former President William H. Taft, here to attend the convention of the American Bar association, told reporters that Chicago convinced him he was out of politics. "I walked four blocks through the downtown streets and made one purchase in a store without anyone apparently recognizing me," the former president said. Shows Prosperity New York City.—Stories of the remarkable wave of prosperity that is flowing over the entire country were told by the 600 delegates to the national convention of agency clubs of the Equitable Life Insurance society. Every man has done from $100,000 to $1,000,000 worth of insurance business during the year. WILL Study Radio Torpedo Washington, D. C. — Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the army's eastern department, has been appointed head of a joint army and navy board, to pass judgment upon the radio controlled torpedo, provision for the purchase of which from the inventor, John Hays Hammond, Jr., is made in the fortifications bill. If the board reports favorably and President Wilson approves, the war department is authorized to expend $750,000 for the purchase of exclusive right to manufacture the device. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916. IN OLD MEXICO, ON THE BORDER! With Soldiers and Civilians of Both Countries. Interesting Reminiscences and Experiences of a Former Cleveland, Will E. Smith. El Paso, Tex. Aug. 17, 1916. Dear Friend:—The Mexican question may be likened to an algebraic problem with indeterminate quantities. The solution depends on the known or assumed factors which are constantly changing. And so the question most natural to be asked is: "What is the trouble? Why is all this furry and fuss?" Of the hundreds—both Mexicans and Americans—of soldiers and civilians of whom I have sought a reason, the final reply, even after attempted explanations, sometimes lengthy and involved, has been: "Well, I don't know." So I am writing of those conditions with which I am acquainted and if I am wrong in my conclusions it is because of the unknown factors and new conditions. Six years ago Mexico was a quiet, peaceable country. In form she was a republic, in fact she was a despotism. Her boundless wealth was bartered away by her masters for their own benefit. White men gained valuable concessions for a patry sum or by a trick or artifact. By bribery, too, many rights were secured by foreigners. There were, however, enough straightforward, above-board transactions to lend respectability to the whole. And this cloak of virtue is useful today in hiding the highwayman and robber, for he can show the clean deals which have suffered by the present disturbed conditions in Mexico. The lower class of people were peons who worked on large ranches or plantations. They were always in debt to their employers; each year finding them deeper and deeper in debt. The plan was much the same as that employed in the south with our people. They had unlimited credit at the store and so the less a man bought the more he owed. This method was practically slavery. But comparisons are odious and the United States is civilized and is therefore not to be compared with Mexico although operations are identical. In those years Pancho Villa was a bandit. He would rob the rich and give to the poor. These conditions became intolerable. The burdens of the poor became heavier every day. They were borne only because a Mexican loves his country. There is no patriotism more true, more certain or more steadfast than the Mexican love for his country. And so, when it was whispered that the high and mighty were selling out their country, the murmurings of the people swelled to a mighty roar; the latent fear of some impending disaster displayed itself in a suspicion—every man of his brother; war clouds to lower, and in the darkness of night to let loose; they were dark, staring, raving mad, and every man who stood in the night of despair, were recognized. Anarchy reigned supreme. In the intermittent flashes of reason only men, such as Villa, who had done them a turn in their night of despair, were recognized. And his kind became fond of some indefinite good like everything, but there was nothing to hold. And so for six years this struggle has gone and incidentally disturbing the peace of the neighboring republic. In the midst of this turnip, many foreigners lost valuable concessions. Originally these concessions cost nothing or very little but now it is different. The call comes for the U. S. to protect this property. There is your "casus belli." Now other matters are incidental. Border raids, capitals, dwellings, the war department, occupation of foreign territory, are incidentals, although very important in themselves and perhaps outweighing the original trouble; just as the liberation of the slave was an incidental event of the civil war which was to hold the union together. The masters of the country were overthrown and driven out of Mexico. Then the question of the rehabilitation of the country arose. Every man who had an idea of the best method to those to whom his idea appealed the strongest. Then to the leader of every group came offers of financial aid to perpetuate his idea. Some leaders accepted; others refused but these of fers made each leader suspect the other of being willing to sell out the country or of being a grafter. These suspicions caused each leader to become an active opponent to the other. Each tried to destroy the other. Gradually the many chiefs have drifted into the Carranza in the center, and Villa in the north. By a turn of luck Carranza got the upper hand. Villa attempts to dislodge him by creating trouble between him and the U. S. That is the reason of border raids. As Carranza tries to dislodge the raids, the U. S. sends her own troops into the bandit ridden country which gives Villa a chance to say that Carranza is selling out the country to the "gringoes." And there you are. With best wishes. Your friend, Will Edwin Smith. PRESS TESTIMONIAL FUND All of it Received by Editor Trotter- The National Equal Rights League Meet. Boston, Mass., Aug. 22, 1916.

Yours against segregation, Wm. Monroe Trotter. NAME A TICKET Defy "Lily-White" Republicans to a Trial of Strength. Memphis, Teen—The Lincoln Republican League of Tennessee, in mass convention with 1,600 Afro-Americans present, last week Monday night, nominated a full ticket to enter the race for Congress, State Senate and the House of Representatives. The meeting was held at Church's Auditorium, Robert R. Church, Jr., presiding, and speeches were made by B. V. Burchell of Tipton County, N. F. Clowers, B. F. Booth and M. H. Borar. The main contention of the speakers present was that the so-called "lily-white" Republicans have for a number of years, through star chamber proceedings, completely ignored the Negro Republicans to constitute the red blood of the party in the Tenth Congressional District and the entire South. The following men were nominated: For Congress—Wyman Wilkerson, undertaker. For State Senators—B. M. Roddy, banker, and H. M. Borar, lawyer. For Plotterial Senator—B. F. Burchell of Roosevelt counties. For House of Representatives—G. W. Atkins, O. W. Williams, Ed Lewis, N. F. Clowers, A. E. Clouston, T. H. Hayes, J. T. Settle, J. B. Willis. THANK YOU! Chicago, Ill., 8-27, '16. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith:—It is rather late to tender you my heartiest congratulations upon the 34th anniversary of your retirement. I am grateful for its continued success are none the less sincere, allow me to assure you. Living under continual pressure of poor health and constant work you will readily understand that I am compelled to lay reading matter aside quite frequently for future reading and it thus came about that I only recently read of The Gazette's "birthday." No doubt you will kindly parade with me in the room of the most courageous, out-spoken and just papers of the race, and since to wish its able editor success is simultaneous with ensuring its own, and, since the success of both lays the firm foundation for the welfare of the race, certainly all true friends of justice and liberty will whole-heartedly wish both a sincere "God-speed" on their future read of Life! Sincerely yours, DOROTHY PHOLE MISS CATHERINE LEALTAD Secretary of Prohibition National Convention Committee, St. Paul, Minn., Who Will Shortly Rosign to Engage In Educational Work as a Teacher at the State Normal School, Jefferson City, Mo. St. Paul, Mim.—The large number of young men and women, graduates of the various high schools and colleges who are making good in business and the professions, is one of the most important signs of racial advancement. The importance of well trained leaders among our people cannot be too forcefully urged when one considers the many thousands of our young folks who are deprived of even a common school education. In this connection it is gratifying to note the desire of "tiss Catherine Leatad of this city to further prepare herself to be of greater service to the race as a social worker. Miss Leatad is the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Leatad, who is the minister of the Anglican church in this city. She graduated with honors from the McAllister college here in 1914. She is ambitions, studious and persistent and has a fixed aim in life toward which she directs her energies. For sometime Miss Leatad has been the efficient secretary for the Prohibition national convention committee with headquarters in this city. In order to broaden her views and gain larger experience for her life's work Miss Leatad will shortly resign her position with the prohibition committee to take an educational work as a teacher in the state Normal school at Jefferson City, Mo. While teaching she will also take a course of study in social service, a line of work in which she will engage in later with special reference to prohibition among our people. KANSAS CITY READY FOR BIG BAPTIST CONVENTION National Organization Convenes in Missouri Metropolis, Sept. 6. Kansas City, Mo.—From the headquarters of the local committee of arrangements in this city information has been sent out that "all things are ready" to give the Baptists who are to assemble in their national convention here Sept. 6 such care and attention as has never been attempted by any local committee in the entertainment of the delegates since the convention was organized. "The west is bristling with the desire to do its best and to stamp indelibly upon the hearts and minds of the people its big heartedness, golden opportunities and burning desire to do honor to the largest gathering of religious workers in the world." The committee of arrangements for the National Baptist convention, knowing, as it does that the coming of the convention will mean much to Kansas city and vicinity, has the full co-operation of members of both races. The many friends and loyal supporters who are writing from various sections of the country will be notified of their stopping places. Every effort is being made by the committee to make every moment of the delegates' stay a pleasant one in every way. There will be splendid transportation arrangements and facilities, as Kansas City is noted for the best street car system in the country. The Commercial club, the Business Men's league, the Medical society and other civic organizations are in hearty accord with the plans. The meeting place of the convention, the great convention hall, is in the pathway of two of the best car lines in the city, operating many different cars connecting the two Kansas Cities. The many friends who are coming from the east and north will share these advantages. Committee, Rev. J. W. Hurse, D. D.; Rev. J. B. Bckham, D. D., and Rev. J. R. Williams. Mrs. Terrell Asks Chance For Our Race. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was the chief speaker at one of the sessions of the Sunday school conference held at East Northfield, Mass., the latter part of July. Mrs. Terrell is the wife of Judge R. H. Terrell of the municipal court in Washington. She spoke of the plucky struggle which the colored woman is making under the most discouraging conditions, in some cases no better than they were fifty years ago, and often deliberately aggravated by the dominant race, said Mrs. Terrell, who made a strong plea that equal opportunity in gainful occupations be given to men and women of the colored race in proportion to their ability. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. STRIKE FEARED DESPITE CONGRESS President Appeals to Legislators to Enact Laws Which Will Avert Trouble. MAY PASS EIGHT-HOUR LAW Head of Conductors' Brotherhood Says Eight-Hour Law Will Stop Strike; The Presidents Decline to Accept Plans. Washington, D. C.—Congress, as a result of President Wilson's personal appeal to both branches, it seems reasonably certain, will enact an eight-hour basic day law for the engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen of the railroads of the country. What kind of a law it will be none of the leaders of the house and senate is as yet at all certain. President Garretson of the conductors' brotherhood, and spokesman for all the trainmen, said: "An eight-hour law by congress will head off a strike." The prospect for the early passage of this law, despite the fact that constitutional questions are involved in any attempt to fix wages, is the first direct result of President Wilson's appearance before the assembled branches of congress. Just before the president went to address congress it became known the strike leaders had positively called the strike for Labor day unless a favorable settlement was reached before, and that the negotiations between the managers and men had been broken off. The committee of railway presidents made a public statement of their position, declining to accept President Wilson's plan and giving their reasons. President Wilson consumed just 21 minutes in delivering his address. He recommended: Enlargement and administrative reorganization of the interstate commerce commission; an eight-hour day for all railroad employees engaged in operating trains in interstate traffic; a congressional committee to study results of the application of the eight-hour day to railroad operation alike for the men and for the roads; an instruction from congress to the interstate commerce commission to consider what just increase in freight rates the railroads would be entitled to, if any, due to the eight-hour day; an amendment of the federal mediation, conciliation and arbitration laws to provide for a full public investigation before a strike or lockout may be lawfully attempted; granting the president power in case of military necessity to seize and operate such portions of the railways as may be required for military uses, to draft into the military service such train crews and administrative officials as circumstances may require. The first manifestation of approval came when President Wilson said he had been acting merely as "the spokesman of the nation" and as "the representative of the hundred millions of men, women and children who would pay the price, should these men refuse to accept the larger responsibility which the public would put upon them." There was applause, too, but of milder type, when the president declared for an eight-hour day, and again when he asserted that the railroads "will be obliged ultimately to accept the eight-hour day by the concerted action of organized labor, backed by the favorable judgment of society." It is general opinion that if the president insists upon legislation to the full of his recommendations, congress will be here for another two months. Meanwhile if the strike is precipitated members of congress are agreed that some drastic form of action will be taken, some short cut adopted that will convince both the railroad managers and the workmen that the country will not tolerate a nation-wide strike. President Wilson is said to have under advisement a plan to charge the brotherhood leaders with instigating a conspiracy in restraint of intersate commerce if the strike order is not withdrawn by Saturday. It is known the advice of the attorney general's office has been sought on the subject. Police Guard Women East Liverpool, O.—Police have obtained no clew to the identity of the person or persons who stoned the homes of Mrs. John Anderson and Mrs. W. W. Sloan, wives of prominent merchants, to whom threatening notes have been sent in the past six weeks. The families live in adjoining houses. Mrs. Anderson recently was at tacked by an unidentified man after she received two notes. A week later Mrs. Sloan found a blackhand warning pinned to a screen door of her home. An armed guard has been main tained nightly at the two homes. Fay Escapes From Pen Atlanta, Ga. — Hobert Fay, said to have been a former German army officer, convicted of conspiracy against the United States in connection with minton plots in New York, escaped from the federal prison here with William Knobloch, another prisoner. Fay, Walter Scholz, his brother-in-law, and Paul Daeche were convicted in New York May 8 on charges of conspiring to sink steamships carrying munitions of war to the allies by attaching bombs to them. Fay was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment. IN BELION DESPARTITO OFFICER KILLED CHASING SHOOTERS Shaker Heights Deputy Marshall Murdered While in Pursuit of Three Boys. LATTER HELD BY AUTHORITIES Green Hat Only Clew So Far Found; Woman in the Auto Is Grazed by Bullet From One of the Boys' Guns. Cleveland, O. — Death of a depdown in a wood northeast of the corner of Buckeye and Center roads, followed immediately after one of three boys had sent a rifle bullet through the wind shield of a passing automobile, causing the marshal and two other men to chase the three into the wood. Protest Innocence. Protesting innocence, two boys, one 15, the other 16, both with 22-caliber rifles, who were arrested just afterward, were held by Shaker Heights authorities. A third boy, 16, was arrested here later. The problem that confronted Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights and city police, all of whom were working on the case, was whether the shots that killed the deputy marshal were fired by one of the three boys or by a fourth person, a man whom two of the boys said they saw enter the woods. The boys, one of whom, police said, admitted shooting through the auto windshield, all denied shooting at the deputy marshal in the wood. Their story was supported by the facts that the shots which killed the officer were from a 32-caliber automatic pistol, and that a green hat was found lying near where three or four empty pistol shells were discovered in the wood. Grazed Woman's Head. A bullet from the rifle of one of the boys went through the machine of C. A. Seeley, who was driving through Shaker Heights with his family, grazed the hand of his mother and shattered the windshield. Seeley stopped and chased the boys into the woods, when the policeman took up the chase and was killed. The boys declared, police said, that from where they hid they saw a man going into the wood wearing a green hat such as was found at the scene, dressed in a blue suit and tan shoes. They said, police stated, that immediately after this man passed them, they heard shooting in the wood, and that then they went out to the road. The boy picked up late in the evening at Scovill avenue and E. 14th street admitted, according to detectives, being with the two boys who had the rifles, but denied shooting. ITALY DECLARES WAR AGAINST FORMER ALLY Break With Germany Brings End to One of Strangest Situations in History. Rome, Italy. — The official announcement of Italy's declaration of war on Germany as given out here follows: "The Italian government declares in the name of the king that Italy considers herself to be in a state of war with Germany as from Aug. 28 and begs the Swiss government to convey this information to the imperial German government." Italy's declaration of war on Germany brings to an end one of the strangest situations recorded in the history of nations—the mysterious and unnatural retention of peace between these two countries for more than two years after the outbreak of the European conflict which burst the triple alliance and which resulted on May 23, 1915, in an open break between Italy and Austria-Hungary. Though thrown into the maelstrom of a war against a world in arms by her Hapsburg ally, Germany has not been officially at war with Italy until that country now has made the long pected move. Italy's action does not come as a surprise. It has been predicted, promised, threatened and even unofficially announced as often as Rumanian intervention on the allies' side, and this, too, is now expected to become an accomplished fact before many days have passed. The course the Italo-German relations have taken since Aug. 1, 1914, and the inevitable outcome was marked and foreshadowed by the following outstanding events: At the beginning of the war Italy renounced the triple alliance and declared for a policy of neutrality. On May 23 of the next year she declared war on Austria-Hungary, yielding to overwhelming pressure of public sentiment and rejecting sweeping territorial offers from her former ally. Plan to Kidnap Box St. Anthony, Ida.—Plans to kidnake naprow Lord Harriman, son of Mrs. E. H. Harriman, hold him for a ransom of $100,000, and in case this was not paid, to blind the boy and otherwise disguise him for life, have been frustrated by the arrest here of the parties to the plot. Three men, Marion A. Lufkin, David McLoy and Ralph Zufelt, alias Alph Majors, are in jail charged with conspiracy to steal young Harriman from Pland Park, where he is spending his vacation, and hold him for ransom.

Cleveland SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us have faith that dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The editor of The Gazette thoroughly appreciates the very kind and encouraging expressions of the good friends, several of whom are represented in these columns today. The same miserable segregation (in the Treasury department) complained of so bitterly months ago, has been inaugurated, in recent weeks, in the Army and Navy department at Washington, D. C., by the members of the Democratic Wilson administration. Two futile invasions of Mexico and six separate and distinct policies on the question of permitting arms and ammunition to be sent into that country are included in the performance of the Wilson administration in its dealings with our southern neighbors in less than three years. It is this characteristic instability of the government that makes people want a change. A southern democratic member of the lower house of Congress has introduced "a bill to prevent the enlistment of Negroes in the military service of the U. S." If there is anything insulting or harmful to our people some southern democratic member of Congress has not attempted since the elevation of Thomas Woodrow Wilson to the presidency, we certainly would like to know what it is. After reading Will Edwin Smith's splendid letters to The Gazette from "old Mexico and down on the border"; it is easy to understand why the Mexicans hate the Americans (white) and why the American newspapers have failed to properly explain this hatred. The southernners on the border have tried to treat the Mexicans as they do our people but the latter would not and will not submit to it. This much is clear. Rudolph H. Mack, Esq., of Cincinnati, is a Republican and a much better candidate for governor than Gov. Frank B. Willis who not only broke his voluntary promise to give the sixty thousand Afro-American voters of Ohio deserved and proper recognition but grossly insulted our clergy men of Cleveland when he ignored their protests, last year in February. Much more truth, along this line, can and will be told, later on, in this fall's campaign. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a press-pass badge to the forty-seventh annual fair (Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, 1916) of the Colored A. & M. Association, Lexington, Ky. This event is of inter-state importance and interest, every year, and this time its management proposes to eclipse all former efforts. The number from this city and state that attend the fair each year will be largely augmented, this year, as a result of the "good times." A Western editor says that mis-guided individuals who have been expecting that Charles E. Hughes would prove to be a cold proposition and therefore easy to beat are in for a shock that will make them think they have been hit by an uninsulated trolley wire. There is nothing cold about Mr. Hughes. He is about as intensely human a piece of humanity as ever captured the hearts of a crowd, and the more people in the United States he meets between now and November the more votes will be cast for him. As a campaigner he is a revelation. He likes his fellow beings, and they like him because they see he likes them. Superintendent Davidson, of the Pittsburgh, public schools, went to that city from Washington, D. C. A young lady of the race, a Miss Fulpress, who ranked fifteenth (in a class of ninety) in the line for appointment as a teacher in the public schools of that city, is now fifth, but the outlook is not good because Supt. Davidson seems opposed to her appointment and to favor separate schools. However, our esteemed contemporary, the Pittsburgh Courier, has taken the proper stand and if our sensible people of that city will rally to its standard as they should, Pittsburgh as well as Cleveland will some day have thirty or thirty-five Afro- American teachers in its public school MANHOOD. Life's best prizes are won, not by skill or strength, but by that grandest thing known on earth—manhood. Honorable, educated, active, cultivated manhood is to rule this world. Always there have been bad men, corrupted, degraded, but sharp and cunning, who have made great gains by great frauds, or crafty swindling, and have held some sort of position in the world in spite of their want of character, for there are parasites and money worshipers who honor and applaud the man of money without caring to know how he came by his possessions. But These Are the Exceptions. The true man is the thing most prized by the great world. True manhood is the wisest, sharpest, strongest, most clear-sighted, far-sighted contest in the battlefield of life. Manhood carries the sharpest sword, gains the truest success and wears the brightest crown. No one is, or can be, the best preacher, the best lawyer, the best physician, or the best business man, who is not truly, grandly, gloriously and unselfishly a man. If you would climb to the highest places, carry off the richest prizes, get the most enjoyment out of life and have the sublimest of old age, you must conquer the base elements of nature, you must have every atom of the dross of dishonesty squeezed, hammered, burned out, if necessary. You must become as sound as 24-karat gold, as true as best steel. You must prove yourself as reliable as the course of nature, as incorruptible as sunlight, as pure and sweet in your personality as the breezes of heaven. You must scorn all menness, loathe all false pretenses, be afraid of every kind of dishonesty and hate a lie as you would hate the devil himself. You must determine stoutly to be what you would appear. There is a premium on men like that. The great world, disgusted with frauds and pretenders and shams of all kinds, will know such a man as soon as he appears. It will prize him, honor him, reward him, make him famous and render him immortal.—Philadelphia Record. STANDS FOR THE RIGHT Regardless of All Else—Stands by the Race and Its Colors—Praise for "The Old Reliable." Editor Gazette:—I can with pride say that I have been reading The Gazette regularly and, of late, with deep and renewed interest, and the following will explain the reason why: Shortly after arriving in Cleveland from my home in Mississippi, during the month of June, 1915, I was canonized in Cleveland and happened to be standing on Central avenue, near East 35th St., waiting for a subscriber of the paper. While standing there, I struck up a conversation with a man about The Gazette and its editor. We talked for a long time, and finally the gondolier knew the paper and its editor better than I did, and to make sure that I would understand, he added that he knew the editor when he was a schoolboy. Continuing he said "Mr. Smith is a fine fellow, alright, and has a good paper and I read it, but it is like this: he is a politician, and one who knows the state, and naturally he (the editor) is going to take care of himself. He will, of course, speak well of the governor, as he is doing every week, while the governor is doing something good for the race, but you will see (turning to emphasize) that he will not mention him when the governor does the job, and he promises to our people, because he (the editor) stands a show to get a good job by keeping silent." Well, I have watched The Gazette editor very closely ever since. Yes, I watched him as a friend and as a minister. I watched, in the meantime hoping that when the time came for him to "show his colors" that he would prove to be "pure gold tried by the fire," fearless and uncompromising when the race's honor is at stake as he is known and believed to be from one end of this country to the other. Then to my heart's delight I noticed the bold headlines in the issue of The Gazette, dated March 18, 1858 (and since) which assured me for true that you ARE ONLY FOR THE RIGHT Now, I do not want it understood that I gloried in the coincidence that raised so thick a saloon-dust that it stifed the religious influence of the Cleveland ministers upon the town's moral condition, at least, as far as the city is concerned, and so dense as to completely hide what was supposed to be the true form of our good-meaning(?) "State Chief Executive," but I am careful to have it understood that since the offense has come I am glad to say that I am not going to say "Woe unto him from whom the offense cometh," etc., etc. This is one of the reasons for my renewed interest in The Gazette. Then, too, I wanted to see if my strange man really knew more about the editor of The Gazette than I did. He claimed. Sincerely yours for the right.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1916. BIG LIMA LYNCH MOB SEEKS NEGRO Three Thousand Storm Jail in Search of Man Who Brutally Attacked Woman. OFFICERS WERE POWERLESS Citizens, Maddened by Brutal Assault, Batter Down Prison Doors; Sher- iff Removes Alleged Assailant to State Hospital. Lima, O.—A mob of 3,000 deter- mined men stormed the county jail, broke through the big front doors and searched the cells, seeking a blood victim—a negro—to avenge a brutal assault on a farmer's wife in the kitchen of her little home three miles west of Lima. Some time before the outer doors of the jail gave way a closed automobile whizzed into a darkened court near the big building in the heart of Lima, two huddled figures crawled into the car, and the machine was off like a racer through the streets to- ward the open country beyond. While the mayor of Lima, Balliss Simpson, was appealing to the mob to forsake its quest, at 9:30 p. m. Sherif Sherman Ely returned to the jail and the word spread that the negro prisoner was safe within the high fortress-like walls of the hospital for the criminal insane, three miles north of Lima. Forced to Flee for Life. Roaring its disbelief in the escape of the prisoner, the mob broke down the doors of the sheriff's residence and the official was forced to flee for his life through a rear door. With him, guarded by a police escort, went his wife and her sister, carrying Mrs. Ely's small daughter, who is seriously ill. Meanwhile part of the mob, led largely by armed farmers from the neighborhood where the assault took place, broke into the courthouse, spread through the building, searching rooms, closets and vaults. Part of the mob ascended to the clock tower of the courthouse, where 20 years ago a mob found a negro hiden and lynched him under similar circumstances. The small police force and squad of deputy sheriffs were practically powerless. "Automobiles!" cried many of the searchers. A score of machines were commandeered, and a part of the mob sped northward, declaring they would hunt the negro even behind the walls of the state insane institution. While all this was taking place messengers from Lima City hospital were fanning the spirit of vengeance. They told of a woman near death from a terrible beating. Refused Food. Makes Brutal Attack. Mrs. John Barber, 24, a white woman, was the victim of an assault. She had answered a knock at the kitchen door of her farm home. A negro—a giant of a man—stood on the threshold. He begged for something to eat, humbly at first. The woman refused him. He stepped in, uninvited. In the kitchen lay Mrs. Barber's year-old child, and the woman instinctively fled toward the sleeping baby. The man pursued her. He swung his big fists. The woman crumpled on the floor. She tried to struggle to her feet. He hit her again, breaking her jaw, and as she fell he drew a razor and slashed her across the throat. She lay still now, her eyes almost battered shut, her face blue with bruises. Through the door leading to the living rooms at this moment broke Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly, 76, mother of Mrs. Barber. Active despite her years, the woman few at the negro. Surprised, he dodged her and flew through the open door. The grandmother followed, crying out for help. She followed the fleeing man down the road. He dodged into a woods and she lost him. She ran on until she met a farmer. She told him what had happened. Word was sent to Mr. Barber, at work in a far field. Word was sent to the county sheriff's office and to the Lima police. Sheriff Ely and his posse arrived at the farm house and found groups hunting the woods and fields. It was the sheriff himself who came upon a negro walking on the Erie railroad tracks within a few miles of the Barber home. The man became a object and unable to give a coherent statement in the presence of the armed men. The negro was taken to Lima City hospital, where police say he was identified by Mrs. Barber as her assailant. The mob finally captured Sheriff Ely and threatened to hang him unless he told where he had taken the negro. It is said he told the mob he took the man to Ottawa, 18 miles away. The crowd immediately started for that place. Thousands in Parade Kansas City, Mo. — Thousands of the veterans of the Civil war, not a man of them less than 65 years old, marched through the streets of Kansas City in regimental formation behind the tattered flags they had followed as defenders of their country in the annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic. A public holiday had been proclaimed in Kansas City and reviewing stands were erected throughout the business district. Hospital units were stationed at numerous corners.

G., have been returned to their various homes the following from The Gazette of June 24, 1916, can be fully and properly appreciated: NEGRO SOLDIERS PREPARING CAMP FOR OHIO'S ARMY. Ninth Battalion Rushes Preparations at Upper Arlington. Columbus, O.—The four companies of the Ninth battalion located in Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Springfield, reported at the mobilization camp here today. These Afro-American companies were not included in the mobilization order issued by the war department, but were ordered here last night by Adjutant General Hough. It is understood that they are to be used in the work of preparing the mobilization camp for American troops who are expected to arrive Thursday or early Friday. With the assistance of the Ninth battalion work progressed rapidly today on the construction of the camp. Negroes Will Return When Camp Is Pitched. The Colored troopers, who were not included in President Wilson's call, will be relieved of duty as soon as camp is completed.-Cleveland (Daily) News, Wednesday, June 21 1916. BLAME THE WILLIS ADMINISTRATION. Two regiments (white) and the Ninth Battalion (Afro-Americans), O. N. G., were not ordered to mobilize, but the "Ninth" has been ordered to Columbus to do the drudgery of preparing the state camp for Ohio's white soldiers ordered to mobilize and prepare for service on the border, and in Mexico, too, if it is found necessary to send them there. This is being heralded throughout the state and the country by the daily newspapers greatly to the humiliation of all the manly and womanly of the race. This treatment of our soldiers—the "Ninth" —by Gov. Frank B. Willis' boyhood and adult and adjutant general, Benjamin H. Hough of Delaware, just about makes the good red blood of every Afro-American's body boil. Thus again are our people of Ohio grossly insulted by the Willis administration. The local daily papers of Wednesday took pains to announce that when our four companies of the Ninth Battalion have finished the drudgery of preparing the state camp for the white soldiers "they will be sent back home" and not to the Mexican border where even the two white regiments not yet ordered to mobilize will no doubt be sent. If there is anything calculated to cool the "soldier" ardor of the members of the Ninth Battalion, it certainly ought to be the treatment they are receiving at the hands of the Willis administration through its representative, Adjutant General Ben. Hough —The Gazette of June 24, 1916. Members of Co. D, the local part of the Ninth Battalion, told the editor of The Gazette, Wednesday morning, July 19, 1916, on their return to the city, that they were required to unload lumber and other wagons, build "shacks" for the commissary department and do other manual labor in addition to performing guard duty, etc.; that convicts from the Ohio penitentiary dug the trenches, etc., and that they were their (our soldiers') only assistants during their stay at Camp Willis. Also that on July 4th, (note the day) they "were moved from their place in Camp Willis over on 5th Av., a distant part of the camp, away from the white soldiers, as the result of friction arising from the latters' objections to their (our soldiers') visitors, largely ladies of color." Well, well, well! They all agree that Gov. Willis did a number of little things to please and coddle them into thinking well of him, if possible, but the members of the Battalion are at home now, will have plenty of time for careful thought, and can view all phases of this latest Willis episode without the miserable political or other influences that would if it could make them praise the man or men who are responsible for this most aggravating insult—offered them and through them to all the self and race respecting, manly and womanly Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio. Adjutant-General Ben. H. Hough was a Willis apoineen until almost within a week, and as chief executive of the state, the governor is responsible for the shameful and insulting misattirement of the Ninth Battalion that is felt, and keenly, too, by every loyal member of the race in Ohio.—The Gazette, July 15, 1916. Really Mother's Fault. Her grandma was visiting at the house and Lucille slept with her that night. The next morning grandma said: "Lucille, what makes you kick so? Why don't you lie still at night?" Lucille answered: "I can't stop, drandma, 'cause mother never teached me not to kick when I was little." How to Remove Indelible Ink. How to Remove Indelible Ink.

The Negro Year Book for 1916-1917, the fourth annual edition, has been enlarged and improved. There are 60 more pages of matter than in the 1914-15 edition which contained 417 pages. This new edition has over 100 pages of new matter. The information contained in previous volumes has been brought through to date; 75 pages are devoted to a review of the events of 1914-15 as they affect the interests and indicate the progress of the race. The success of previous editions has encouraged the publishers to believe that the Negro Year Book is filling the need of a publication which impartially gives a review of current events and relates to our people and the same time provides a compact but comprehensive statement of historical and statistical facts arranged for ready reference. In its 475 pages one finds in a succinct form not only the important facts of history, but also a great mass of detailed information concerning present conditions and the progress of the country now presented and authority on matters pertaining to our people.

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 do 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 $4 to the school." It is suggested that subscriptions of $1 each be sent to Mr. Blair, care of the People's National bank, Winston-Salem, N.C.

On the other side they say "Are you there?" But busy corporations will have none of either. Corporations today with thousands of dollars' worth of business to be transacted through the medium of the telephone are fostering a general movement toward telephone reform. "The "Hello" has gone forever from their lexicon. In its place has been adopted the newer form of response in which the person answering the telephone call states first the name of the bureau or office in which he or she receives the call, following which the name of the individual is announced. DOC WHITE ALWAYS WAS HOODOO TO POOR YANKS Long After He Was All Done, White Sox Carried Him on Pay Roll Just to Kill New York. For several seasons after Doc White had outlived his usefulness against the general run of American league clubs he was retained as a member of the White Sox hurling corps for the especial benefit of the Yankees. A mark for practically every other team in his circuit during the last few years of his Chicago connection, White was a veritable left-handed Johnson against the Yankees almost to the very end. Came a time eventually when a managerial job called him to the Pacific const for the first time in many a long and dreary year, and the Yan- L Doc White. kees felt free and easy in their competition against the White Sox. Their hopes were speedily dashed, however for White had scarcely gone away from Chicago when Ed Cicotte bobbed up to cast upon the New Yorkers a spell almost as potent as the old White hoodoo itself. A failure at Boston, Cicotte has been of pretty much no account with Chicago except when pitted against the Yankees. Boston has given him some unmerciful lauches, Detroit has his number, Cleveland welcomes infrequent appearance against the Indians with squeals of joy, and ever Washington holds him in poor esteem. Against the Yankees, however, he almost invariably looks like the best pitcher in all the world. Passing of the Kimono. Fortunately for the appearance and for the business of the household, women have abandoned kimonos for house wear excepting for the bathrobe and in case of sickness. There is no greater encouragement to sloppiness and laxness than the kimono, although it is a great garment in its place. The everlasting sleeves are always in the way, and the fronts have a habit of presenting themselves directly under one's feet. Most women find it better to make home dresses to open all the way down the front so they can be ironed without trouble. They can be snapped together quickly or they may be outfitted. Her View of Self. She was a typical East side girl and, though plainly dressed, was very pretty. While walking through Van Cortlandt park she heard for the first time of the game of golf and observed the golfers as she was asking her companion, a sprightly young girl, something about the game. The girl explained. "My Gawd," responded the other. "And do they walk all over these hills?" Then she observed some more players on the links in the far distance. "Do they play it away off Microscope Greatest Instrument for the Saving of Human Life By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. No single invention has made possible greater saving of human life than the microscope. Its origin dates back to antiquity. There is every reason to believe that the ancients had some knowledge of the use of the single lens. The compound microscope was probably invented shortly after the middle ages. The tailans and the Dutch both claim the discovery. stage of reproducing told numbers and selves to different when the conditions suit their existence epidemics of disuse able to resist. The esting one as man covered how to co-many diseases which These ancient microscopes were very crude instruments compared with those of today. They were, however, sufficiently powerful to reveal myriads of living things in the clear atmosphere as well as in a clear tumbler of water, but they left us to imagine a great unseen living world beyond the power of the instrument, and that is even so today with our most improved microscopes. In the hands of scientists the microscope has revealed from time to time a teeming life of bacteria everywhere present. Some of these minute organisms are the friends and some the deadly foes of man. Vegetable, and indirectly animal life, depends upon their work. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, typhus fever, tetanus, and other diseases are the result of certain of these bacteria which can only be seen by the aid of the microscope. There is evidence, but as yet no positive proof, that they are responsible for many other diseases, the etiology of which is yet unknown. An army of scientific workers is today occupied in the study of bacteriology for the purpose of discovering the organisms that produce the different diseases, and then to push on with the idea of discovering that which would produce immunity or cure. This work is vital to the welfare of humanity. There is a constant warfare between these little single-celled organisms and man. The bacteria have the adven- Things That Are New. To keep a woman's hands warm in a muff a nickel cylinder which, when heated on a stove, will retain the heat for hours, has been invented. For use in French colonial waters where rank vegetation would foul submerged wheels shallow draft boats have been built that are driven by aeroplane motors and propellers. Of German invention is a camera small enough to be carried by a pigeon which takes photographs automatically as a bird flies with it over a place of which information is desired. To help in adjusting the bearings of car wheels when away from a repair shop is the purpose of a new device that locks a wheel firmly to the track and prevents it being moved. Padlocked pockets, with slots through which coins can be dropped, have been patented for use by persons employed in public places who must share with employers ties they receive. To find leaks in motorcycle tires there has been invented a box to fit over them in compartments of which is toose cotton that is moved by the escaping air as it passes over a hole. For hair singing a comb has been invented that entirely surrounds the hair and guards against any danger of it catching fire. A set of aluminum cooking utensils with an interchangeable handle for all, easily kept cool, has been patented by a New York inventor. An Englishman has invented a device to enable aviators in flight to pick up messages from the ground by dropping a grenelm at the end of a line. Attached to a life preserver invented by a Buffalo man is a device that enables him to breathe in the roughest water and also to signal for help. Black Children of Northern Queensland Had Their Tops Before White Man Knew Toy It appears that the black children of northern Queensland are as much plumed by their games as white youngsters. One priusworthy aspect of their sport, as set forth by a distinguished American traveler, is that they play their game for the sake of the game, not to gain the applause of an idle crowd or in expectation of reward. In order to attain dexterity, the fishsear, in the first instance, is a mere toy. A colored boy, in all the joyous abandon of nakedness, sports with a spear suitable to his height and strength for a month together, floating chips and scraps of bark in the water as targets until hands and eyes are both under absolute control. In the meantime he has also practiced on small fish, and soon he is a regular contributor to the family larder. The kirara-kul tree provides the means of satisfying that desire for a noise that is instinctive in the boy, whatever his race or color. Young, lusty shoots several feet long and full of sap are placed in the fire for a few minutes. When they are "bushed" on a log or other hard substance, the heated gas in the pithy core bursts out with a pistollike report. It is due to the crude folks who owned Australia not so very long ago to say that they had invented the salining top before the white man came along. Tops are made from the fruit of one of the gourds, that is about the size of a small orange. The spindle is a smooth and slender there, too?" "Oh, yes," replied the girl. "They play it all over the place." "Well," concluded the East side girl, dismissing the subject with definite finality and a shrug of her shoulders, "that's another of those nice games I'd like to learn—I don't think!"—New York Times. One Field Barred. Women may supersede men in many fields of humble endeavor, but the field in which a brindle cow is grazing is barred to the female in red. tage of reproducing themselves in untold numbers and of adapting themselves to different environments, and when the conditions surrounding them suit their existence they produce great epidemics of disease that man is unable to resist. The fight is an interesting one as man has already discovered how to combat successfully many diseases which for centuries buffled the skill of science. Artificial Blood, Latest Achievement of Science, Invented by an American Making artificial blood is the latest achievement of science. Dr. James J. Hogan of San Francisco has invented a fluid that may be introduced into the veins in the place of real blood in transfusion operations. The solution consists of purest gentian combined with sodium chlorid and distilled water. The resultant liquid solidifies and is placed in glass tubes until needed. When introduced into the blood vessels it will remain there as long as necessary and as nature manufactures new blood it slowly disappears. In the hundreds of cases where the Hogan solution has been used no injurious effect has resulted. Doctor Hogan went abroad when he received direct invitation from the German government, in order to try his method. He not only demonstrated his new discovery in the hospitals of Germany and England, but taught the military surgeons of those countries how to prepare it. "Annie Laurie" of Famous Old Song Was a Real Person Few of us ever think of the "Annie Laurie" of the famous old song as a real person. But she was a girl who lived in Dunfries, Scotland, which is near Maxwellton. She was born about 1682, and when she died she was buried in Dunscot churchyard. This real Annie Laurie had a sweet-heart, a Mr. Douglas, who wrote a song about her. The words of the song he wrote were not as beautiful as those we think of in connection with her. The song with which we are familiar was written from Douglas' song about 70 years ago by Lady Jean Scott, a member of one of the great families in Great Britain. In one of the institutions in Dumfries today there is the "last will and testament" of Annie Laurie. And the churchyard where she is buried is often spoken of by Carlyle in his letters, for he was of that same neighborhood. Wise and Otherwise. Old men always know more than they pretend to. No, Cordelia, policemen aren't always hunting trouble. Women sometimes feel unworthy of their husbands—in books. Here's an epitaph for the bartender: "He had a smile for everybody." A wise man knows more than he tells, but a fool tells more than he knows. A woman always jollies a man along just before she makes a big fool of him. And when you reach your bottom dollar you still have the foundation of a fortune. One never knows just how old a woman is until one happens to read the figure on her tombstone. There are men who would not kick an enemy when he was down—preferring to jump on him with both feet. piece of wood fastened to the top with gun. To spin the top, the players revolve the spindle between the palms of their hands. Some are so expert that the top "goes to sleep" before the eyes of the smiling player. Mirrors Scarce in Japan. It is only within a comparatively short time that the Japanese have known glass as Occidentals know it. When the first railways were built passengers in the conches often put their heads through the glass, supposing the frames of the windows to be empty, and the railway companies at length pasted pictures on the glass to call attention to the fact that a solid substance was behind them. The masses of the Japanese today do not know the mirror as it is known in the West. The richer people have one mirror, indeed, but usually the glass used in the mirrors sold to the populace is not quick-silvered, being merely well polished. As for cut glass, it is practically unknown in Japan, and glass drinking cups are rare. Genius of French Army Cooks. The world-wide fame of France as the motherland of chefs has been enchanced by the demands of war. The cuisine of the French army is far ahead of the best cooking in any other army. The "slum" of the American cook soldier is not to be compared with the savory stews served on the French front in appetizing quantities. This is not due to variety of supply, but to the native talent of the Frenchman, who was a cook long before he was a soldier.—Granville Fortescue in the Saturday Evening Post. Depth of lonerance. "How ignorant that woman is," said Mrs. Gaussip to her caller. "She and I went to the Zoo the other day, and I thought I would laugh outright when she called the giraffe a carafe. The joke of it was the animal wasn't a giraffe at all, it was a camomile." Source of His Ambition. "I have always wanted to be a defective," confessed Casper Cawstick, "so that I could pike my nose into other people's business while minding my own business."—Exchange. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916 STYLES IN CAPES IS ALWAYS USEFUL PEASANT DESIGN MAY BE $AID TO HAVE PREFERENCE. In All Sorts of Materials It Has Proved Popular, and Undoubtedly Has Come to Stay—Cape for The Victorian capes which were ushered in last February with 1840 and 1870 hats to match, did not succeed, but the Victorian shoulder scarf — that wide piece of fur which looked like a position collar slipped to the top of the arms, has been entirely successful. But the peasant capes have outdone all others. It may be short or long, of Open-Air Dinner Cape. tulle and ermine, or of black satin faced with blue, with a hood that stretches across the shoulders built of the two colors. Wherever possible, the dressmakers use a contrasting color as a lining. Hands Are Treacherous in That Way and Must Therefore Be Given the Greatest Care. The hands, being used more than any other parts of the body, age first. That is the reason a woman who does manual labor has older hands than has a woman of the leisure class. The first signs of age appear in the hands. The hands are the greatest telltales of age. Take good care of them. Your age is in your hands. Aging hands are starved hands. The skin becomes dry and withered like a faded rose leaf. When a woman has passed the thirty-year milestone she should give especial attention to keeping the hands well fed. The backs of the hands need the greater part of the nutriment, for it is there that the infallible signs of age first manifest themselves. At least once a day cold cream or olive oil should be well rubbed in. To prevent the yellowing effect of the oil, two drops of tincture of benzoin in every teaspoonful of olive oil used will be efficacious, for tincture of benzoin is a bleaching agent. For the same purpose a half dozen drops of lemon juice in a teaspoonful of olive oil may be used. FADS AND FASHIONS A pretty bousse is of handkerchief linen in white dotted with delicate color. Blouses of contrasting color are now favored for dressy tailored suits of silk. White georgette crepe, heavily embroidered in color, is delightful for blouses. The transparent hat with under-brim trimming is the latest fancy of millinery. A cabinet to keep card recipes in is a great convenience for a young housekeeper. If going on a picnic or long automobile trip, fold a bungalow apron over the lunch basket. It will then be handy to put on when you spread the lunch. Long Capes. Trimming for the long capes of tafetta is delightfully varied. One rose pink cape seen recently had a collar and cape edge with a sarrow roll of ostrich, of rose color, with occasional fronts of white. An emerald green silk cape had a second waist depth cape. This was trimmed along the lower edge with three spaced rushes of the green silk, the edges finished with a plot. The collar was a large ruche. The cape hem was simply a facing fold of the silk, with a piping on the upper edge. Remedy for Foot Burning Buy five cents' worth of tunnin at the drug store, put it in an empty powder box. Shake a little into your stocking every few days and you will soon forget you were ever troubled with burning feet. Boudolir Capes An interesting rumor from Paris has it that for the lady of leisure who likes to sip her chocolate or coffee abused there is a new little cape made of silk, or cretonne, or linen in pattern and coloring to match the wait paper or hangings of the bedroom. The cape is thrown about the semi-nude shoulders while the wearer partakes of her simple breakfast. There is less bother in the adjustment of the cape than in the putting on of the usual negligee. It is likely that the boudoir cape will become popular with American women of the leisure class. When She Sews. A big cretone work basket for the needlewoman is made in such a way as to disclose its contents at a glance. The top is made over wide-open hoops, and wide loops of the material show pins, needles, punchers, choched needles, and all the paraphernalia of the craft. The bottom of the basket is made of wiltow, which wears beautifully. The idea is to drop the basket down beside one's chair instead of holding it in the top. even if the material is as unsubstantial as tulle. A gathered cape of gray chiffon is lined with horizon blue—for the horizon is blue in France, although it is, as a rule, gray in America. Iridescent taffeta, lined with tulle or chiffon, is used for afternoon capes in resorts, at the casinos, country clubs and polo fields. For motoring, there is the Italian cape of dark blue cloth lined with the red of our flag in taffeta or satin. There are also actual Red Riding Hood capes worn by the younger set, the pointed hoods hanging between the shoulder blades. Tripping around through the resorts, one is convinced that the cape has forged its way to a position above the cont. True, the motorcort is still desirable and no one neglects it, but the cape is the fashionable garment. The original devices that are worked out in it gives it a wide appeal to the restless woman who insists upon new things, even though she has no old ones. In the evening, to wear with white satin gowns, there are wraps of red chiffon lined with blue chiffon, with hood caps almost covered with bands of white marabou. At dinner parties in the open, the women keep these capes on during the evening, and they make a very attractive setting for a low gown and a bare head. By the way, the continued talk of the revival of first empire styles actually changing the coiffure before there is a strong evidence of the Josephine frock itself. The hair is worn high in the middle of the head, and often there is no formed knot, simply a bunch of small, loose curls held at the base by two ornamental combs, preferably jet.

The introduction of fullness into the fall models is the most marked feature of the change in styles. This coat is an example of the sort of costumes that will be seen on the fashionable Copyright Birmingham Birmingham avenues this season. The model is fashioned of softly finished dark green brondelcloth trimmed with velvet in a still darker shade. The silhouette is clearly defined in this modish cont. The hat is of a shade to match the trimming and is adorned with a small feather. Silence Cloths. Far better than either the felt or quitted silence cloth is the one of asbestos. This cloth protects the table top, not only from the spots made by hot dishes, but also from stains and damage done by hot liquids being spilled. The cloth is waterproof as well as heat proof. It is, of course, lintless and is finished with a net blinding. It is made in halves, each consisting of three strongly bound and hinged sections. It does not warp, and may be folded and put in the sideboard drawer when not in use. Just a word of advice may not come amiss in these last days before the biggest sales of the year. The price of stockings, silk, lisse, and even cotton is steadily and alarmingly increasing. It is even now difficult to procure certain kinds of stockings. Drop stitch white silk and lisse hose are not to be found at all at many of the shops and compromise must be made with the French drop stitch which is said to be less durable. If one is nucky enough to find one's favorite hose, there is no doubt that buying a liberal supply will be a real economy. For Thin Cheeks. To make thin cheeks plump rub skin food in with the following movements: To treat the right cheek the thumb of the left hand just beyond the corner of the mouth on the left cheek as a brace. Make rotary movements upward and outward, beginning at the corner of the mouth and making three diverging lines of manipulation over the cheek. With the right hand treat the left cheek. About six times over each cheek is sufficient. PERPETUAL CALENDAR MAKES A DAINTY PRESENT. Serviceable and Decorative Little Article May Easily Be Made in Odd Moments—Complete Directions for Its Construction. A perpetual calendar always forms a useful possession. We give a sketch of a dainty and decorative little article of this description that can be easily made in odd moments. A circular piece of stiff card five inches in diameter is cut out, and in the upper part a circular hole is cut away and in the circular part a long slit. This is shown in diagram A on the right of the illustration. The card is covered in front with nail pink and at the back with A B 4 AUGUST linen. It is edged with silk cord, and the floral design which appears upon the silk consists of three white blossoms and leaves worked in various shades of green. For suspending the calendar from a nail in the wall, a loop of ribbon with a rosette bow at the top is attached to the upper part, and at the points where the ends of the ribbon are sewn on there are two more rosettes. Diagram B shows the way the back of the calendar is arranged. Behind each opening a pocket is sewn on, and into these pockets cards can be slipped bearing numbers and the names of the months. Both sides of the cards can be used and it is an easy matter to turn round the calendar and alter the date each day. Dress Hints. Collars have grown a bit shorter over the shoulders and a bit longer down the back; in fact, they are something like sailor collars, but just enough different to be new. The girl who can braid cleverly and neatly will have ample work to do, for the garments of midday of fashion are to be braided or embroidered over many an inch at the juncture of different materials and for bands and ornamentation in general. That skirts are to be longer will be a great relief to many and a sad blow to the woman with trim ankles. Yes, they are to be but a patry five inches from the ground, and after the ten we have grown accustomed to they will poke us all appear most unusually modest. Non-Slipping Shoes for Babies Non-Slipping Shoes for Babies. One of the first difficulties which attend baby's first lessons in walking is the slippery nature of most little shoe soles. To safeguard the little fellow, there are made shoes which have non-slip, disk-protected soles. The little rubber insures non-slipping contact with the floor. The shoes have the further merit of being shaped to fit the foot without cramping or distorting the toes. They are made in several kinds of leather or of a combination of materials, such as black patent leather bottoms and white calf uppers. -Mothers' Magazine. Glazed Kid. Woman would wear anything in the way of footwear that would make her foot, instep and ankle look as alluring as the glazed kid boot, with its high-buttoned or laceed top, its dashing lines and its graceful Louis heel. These boots come in various shades of tan, fawn, gray, gunmetal, dull blue, greec and coffee brown. Other shades may be ordered to match special costumes. Sometimes two shades are combined, and many charming boots have vamps of dark-colored glazed kid with tops of washable white kid. Summer Sachets Don't forget to save your rose leaves. You can do much with their fragrance after they have been dried and treated to a potpourri mixture. They may be piled into little heart-shaped boxes, without a lid, and tied into a colored silk handkerchief. The perfume will sift out through the soft silk, and the whole may be laid in a bureau drawer, hope chest or linen closet. Citron a Modish Shade Citron is the shade of shades in Paris just now. It is a grayish-green tan with which a certain pinkish-yellow harmonizes smartly and one sees much of this salmon pink also on young women—to the middle-aged it is sadly trying. Citron topcorns of gabardine are accompanied by little hats of salmon pink silk, and black straw sailors are banded with citron crepe, a tiny salmon pink flower resting against the brim in front. Raspin Wrap of Rose Taffeta A Piquen wrap is of the "Thann" red taffeta, a new shade of rose. The brown velvet collar is like those brought out by Premet during the last season, trimmed with embroidery in front and back. The wrap is smocked in the back directly below the collar and has a reticella and fringe of beads at the sides. The hem is of small gold beads. Red or Blue Coloring Cochineal is harmless for red coloring matter. Crushed blueberry juice makes the blue shade. This serves for ice and ice creams. UNCURLED RUFFS ARE NEW Soft and Beautiful, Although They Are Something of a Strain, on The newest ostrich ruff is one of uncurried fronds. This sort is a bit expensive, but very soft and beautiful. Two shades or colors of ostrich are often combined. White is used with any color—blue or brown or green or black. Tan, too, is combined with colors. Sometimes just the tips of some of the fronds are white, or tan. Some of the new ruffs are made of tauffe silk, made into points, many of them, and arranged in a full collar about the throat. These are stiff, but very becoming to some persons. They, too, are more durable than tulle. Tulle, however, is made into so many charming ruffs that it is difficult to resist them even on the score of fragility. Some of them are made of double puffs of the tulle. Sometimes the tulle has big chenille dots—white on a colored ground. Soft satin ribbon is shirred into very becoming and graceful ruffs. Like all ruffs of the season, these are not very long. FOR LAST DAYS OF SUMMER Popular Costumes Before the Fall Atire Has Been Decided On and Definitely Donned. Most popular among the young girls, for the summer's ending, are either skirts of white, pale blue or pale pink and mauve flannel, both with and without round, white pearl buttons and patch pockets, made very short length, showing stockings to match. With these are worn finely knitted blouses of matching color, felt hats, also the same color, and worn or carried with these costumes are closely knitted silk scarfs in purple and white, gray or black. The slimness of most of the younger set allows them to wear and set off to advantage slip-on sweaters of loosely knitted wool, in colors of gray, old rose and lavender, white, blue and pink. Some of these are sleeveless and many are held in at the waistline by a single piece of wool tied in a bow in the center front; this must be renewed each time the sweater is worn. Many short red flannel jackets are being worn with white cotton skirts and black sailor hats. PRETTY "POPE" BONNET UNDERWOOD MA UNDERWOOD Pope bonnet of panné velvet with a crown of black velvet trimmed with a smart bow of white grosgrain ribbon. The hat is extreme in its simplicity and is worn with a bewitching tilt. Chemise Hint. If you are a lover of the empire effect in chemises, you will appreciate this way of obtaining it. Make your chemise as usual, either the straight kind or the envelope variety. Crochet a neat little bending around the top and then make about twelve or fourteen inches of beading insertion to match the edge. Sew this across the front of your chemise at the high waistline and run ribbon through it, tying in a bow at the front and sewing the ends where the insertion ends, just to the front of the side seams. You will have the high-waisted effect and a decorative one as well. Yoke Collar. Collars are the decidedly new characteristic of the dresses. They might be termed "yoke collars." They are, as a rule, of white satin, and stand about two and one-half inches. The neckband is elongated, so that the collars are almost as large around as those wide standing collarettes of the furs. Some of the collars round down almost as far as the end of the "V" in the average waist. They are kept soft. The top is not even pressed carefully to make a straight edge. Detachable Ruffles It is almost impossible to insist too often upon the snowy dust ruffle of lace or mull. In some of the Paris frocks this ruffle is fastened to a detachable band inside the skirt by snaps. But the best models have a drop skirt of organdre or thinest silk fastened to the skirt at the belt and upon this drop is the plaited frill often of finest lace, but also of picot-edged mull or organdre. Ornamental Towel Quaint and pretty was a bath towel noted recently. It had yellow sunflowers worked in satin stitch across the bottom, which was scalloped in big square scallops of white. These scallops were outlined on the inside with blue. Blue tassels were hung between the scallops and the effect achieved was exceedingly quaint. Suits for Early Autumn Wool velour, cashmere velour, serge- gardene, velour checks, silvelt cloth, velour de laine and duvetton will be used for early fall suits. Later in the season velvet is to be used for both dresses and suits.
