IN GOD WE TRUST FRENCH CAPTURE GERMAN DEFENSES Whole System of Teuton Third Line, Between. Combles and Peronne, Is Taken. SEPARATE ENEMY'S BASES British Artillery is Pounding Away South of Somme; Berlin Claims Gains at Verdun; Offensive Egun in Macedonia. London, England.—In the first open battle fought on the western front since the battle of the Marne the French have wrested from the Germans the whole system of third line defense between Combes and Peronne. They captured the whole of the village of Bouchayesnes, midway between these two vital Teuton bases of support, rooted their own lines firmly into the blood-sodden highway that connects the two points and smashed ahead further to the east, taking by storm the Bols L'Abbe farm, lost it again to two counter attacking German regiments, but subsequently reconquered the whole of it. Fierce Fighting. The day saw the fiercest open fighting recorded in the west since the early part of the war. Time and again the Bavarian prince hurled his infantry legions against the French, only to be swept back by the soldiers under Gen. Fayolle, natives of Picardy, who rushed forward with the bitter tenacity of men fighting for their heart and home. Berlin admits that the French "entered" Bouchayesnes. The British rested again, consolidating their lines preparatory to the final attack on Comblés. Nor was there infantry action south of the Somme, but violent gun duels raged all day around Vermandovillers and Chaulines. On the Verdun front relative successes are 'called by Berlin and Paris. The French report the repulse of German attacks on the positions east of Fleury recently taken by Gen. Nivelle's troops. The German war of fice claims further progress in the northern part of the Vaux Chapite wood, situated, like Fleury, on the right bank of the Meuse. M. Dimitrakopoulos, former minister of justice, strong friend of the entente, and bitter antagonist of what he has denounced as the "wabby" policy of the Greek war cabinet, is premier of Greece. French and Serba Advance. In Macedonia the entente offensive is developing along the western sector. Athens announces a joint advance by French and Serbian troops, who have captured Sorovitz, near Florina, while Paris' reports important progress, particularly a considerable gain by the Serbians near Lake Ostrovo. The German war office declares the operations against the Roumanians in southern Dobrudra province are proceeding methodically. It also announces German troops have been sent into Transylvania, where they are in contact with the Roumanians who have advanced in the Hermanstadt and Hozestad districts. Berlin gives out the report a Russian destroyer has been sunk in the Gulf of Riga by a German airplane squadron. German planes also have attacked Russian, sea forces in the Black Sea off Constanza, Roumania, says the report. Italian troops in the Dolomito Alps on the far northerly line of the Austro-Italian front have captured a position commanding Travenanzes pass and cutting Austria's communications between the Travenanzes valley and the Lagazuoi region, the war office announced. REJECT ARBITRATION TRACTION HEADS DECLINE TO TREAT WITH THE UNION REPRESENTATIVES. New York City.—The Interborough Rapid Transit and the New York Railways Co. formally rejected the public service commission's recommendation for a strike settlement. The two companies declined conferences with union representatives and said they would continue to operate their lines on the present basis. Many outbreaks of violence occurred at various points along the routes of the elevated and surface lines. The police were active and several arrests were made. Wooster, Q.-Herman A. Brasher, aged 79, long a prominent Ohio attorney, died suddenly here. He will be buried at Cincinnati, his former home. Duplex Evolution Idea Steubenville, O.-Professor C. M. Coburn, of Alleghany college denied that man is descended from a heist, in his address on "Amos, First Writing Prophet," before the Northeast-Dalto Conference which is meeting here this week. "There never was a monkey in the last 6,000 years that had sense enough even to roll a log on a fire to keep it burning," he said. "When the Lord wants a preacher he goes to the poor and not to the rich," was another of his statements. THE GAZETTE BARON STEPHEN BURIAN Copyright Underwood & Underwood Copyright.

PRESIDENT CALLS ON THE MEXICAN ENVOYS Visit Is First Personal Dealings With Carranzistas; Assures Them of His Sympathy. New London, Conn. — President Wilson has lent his personal touch to aid the efforts of the American-Mexican joint commission in seeking a permanent foundation of sympathy and understanding upon which may rest the future relations of the United States and Mexico. Putting aside for one hour his own cares and his vigil at the bedside of his sister, Mrs. Annie E. Howe, who is dying, Mr. Wilson exchanged calls with Gen. Carranza's representatives. It was the first time during his administration that the executive had dealt personally with a representative of the Mexican de facto government, and the significance of this fact was not lost upon either the American or Mexican commissioners. For the first time also representatives of Gen. Carranza received directly from the man in whose hands perhaps lies the fate of their country his statement of sympathy with the acts of the revolution which have torn Mexico. The regeneration of the stricken nation must come from within, Mr. Wilson said; and, in answer for his colleagues and himself, Luis Cabrera, Carranza's minister of finance, chairman of the Mexican delegation, asserted that his country was struggling toward the light of free and democratic government. the president went directly to the subject of the Mexican revolution. He was, he said, more familiar than his hearers perhaps realized with the fundamental principles of the struggle for free government in Mexico. He assured them of his deep sympathy with those alms, adding that right thinking men all over the world must sympathize with such high aspirations. Mr. Cabrera, in his reply, referred to the United States as leader of the movement for free government and as the tutor to whom Mexico must look in striving for the type of government its people sought. Much had been done, he said, but much also remained to be accomplished before the aims of the revolutionists could be achieved. ATTACKS Y. W. C. A. BALL TEXAS MINISTERIAL UNION DE-NOUNCES DANCE GIVEN FOR TROOPERS. San Antonio, Tex. — A dance given to national guardmen here recently under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian association was denounced in resolutions by the Ministerial union. The ministers protested against the dance itself, and especially against the form of introduction employed by the girls and soldiers, they wearing their breasts printed tags bearing their names. The Y. W. C. A. here has decided to eliminate dancing from future entertainments. Geology Professor Drowned Columbus, O.-The body of Charles S. Presser, aged 50, head of the geology department at Ohio State university and a well-known scientific writer, was found floating in the Olenangt river near the university. Early in the summer he had suffered a nervous breakdown and had been given a leave of absence. He's 74. She's 21. Findlay, O.—Honry O. Williamson, 74, and Mrs. Rose E.

A bottle containing the following message was picked upon the beach: "Sept. 10, 1914. "At sea in an open boat, without food or water. Have now been adrift eight days. Two dead. Not expecting to live much longer. We saw the Farallons islands Sept. 1. My strength is fast braving me. "Harry P. Janes. "Niagara, N. Y." ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916. REPUBLICAN TICKET WINS IN MAINE State Executive. Two Senators and Four Congressmen Are Elected. Senators Elected by Popular Vote for First Time; Defeat of Johnson and McGillicuddy Severe Blow to Democrats. Augusta, Maine. — The Republicans made a clean sweep in Maine. They elected Carl E. Milliken governor by about 13,000 plurality. They elected two senators—Frederick Hale and Bert M. Fernald. They elected four congressmen Louis B. Goodal in the 1st district; Wallace H. White in the 2d; John A. Peters in the 3d, and Ira G. Hersey in the 4th. Latest Figures. The latest figures with all but 90 of the 635 presidents in office. For governor. Milliken (R.), 71,201; Curtis (D.), 61,004. The same precincts in 1914 gave Haines (R.), 51,347; Curtis (D.), 56,345; Gardner (D.), 16,282. For United States senator. Fernald (R.), 70,793; Hale (R.), 69,789; Johnson (D.), 62,402; Sills (D.), 61,302. The returns show a Republican gain of about 35 per cent, over the vote of 1914 and a Democratic gain of about 7 per cent. The Republicans apparently captured the bulk of the Progressive vote. Chairman Frank J. Ham of the Republican state committee claimed Milliken's plurality over Gov. Curtis would reach 15,000. Besides the election of two senators and four congressmen, he claimed the Republicans carried every one of the 16 counties, with the exception of Knox and Androscoggin. Indications are the entire state ticket has gone through in the landslide, thus giving the Republicans a majority in both branches of the legislature. The election was the culmination of one of the hottest fights ever waged in the state and marked the reunion of the Republicans and Progressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote of Maine to President Wilson and two years later resulted in the election of Gov. Curtis by a plurality of 3,189. For the first time the two United States senators were elected by popular vote and the Republicans made a detrined effort to win the one seat in the senate and the single seat in the house of representatives held by Maine Democrats. The defeat of Senator Johnson and Congressman McGullieudy was a severe blow to the Democrats. They had banked on electing both men. The Democrats had claimed the state by 3,000 and the Republicans by 15,000. The voters accepted by a large majority the 54 hour bill. The measure, passed at the last session of the legislature, but suspended through the medium of the referendum, prohibits a female or minor from working more than 54 hours a week in any mechanical, manufacturing or mercantile establishment. Gov. elect Milliken is a native of Island Falls. He was former president of the Maine senate. Col. Frederick Hale of Portland is a son of ex-Senator Eugene Hale of Ellsworth. He was elected for the long term over Charles E. Johnson of Waterville. Former Gov. Bert M. Pernail of West Poland, who was elected for the short term, was opposed by Prof. Kenneth C. M. Sills of Brunswick, deft of Bowdoin college. U-BOAT SOUGHT SHIP SUBMARINE IS SENT TO BOTTOM WHILE WAITING FOR LINER. New York City. — That the Cunard liner Tuscania narrowly escaped being sent to the bottom by a German submarine near the spot where the Lusitania met her fate was the story told by Ralph Cropley on his arrival here on the Orduna. Cropley is a New York business man and his home is in Summit, N. J. Mr. Cropley went abroad on the Tuscania. According to his story, on Aug. 19, when the Tuscania was off Old Head Kinsale, four trawlers which preceded the liner to sweep the sea for mines and hostile under-sail craft began firing at an object in their midst. Passengers were told that they were firing at a submarine which had been lying in wait for the Tuscania, and that the U-boat had been sunk.

Cleveland, O. — The predictions that American inventive genius alone can solve the country's greatest in desirial problem, that of the dearth of skilled labor at the close of the European war, invest this week's national gathering of foundrymen in Cleveland with an importance reflected in a record attendance. "America has failed to keep pace with European countries in producing killed craftsmen in her foundries and machine shops," says C. E. Hoyz of the Lewis Institute, Chicago, manager of the American Foundrymen's association department of exhibits. "Molding machines that are almost human must take the place of skilled workmen if the United States is to compete successfully, with the old world manufacturers after the war is over. This is the age of America's greatest inventive opportunity." Technical discussions to advance the science and art of foundry practice will engage the attention of manufacturers and scientists from all parts of the country at the annual conventions of the American, Foundrymen's association and the American Institute of Metals at Hotel Statler. "Foundrymen, realize that if they are to keep the trade built up while European manufacturers have not been in a position to dispute possession of the world's trade with the United States they must overcome the handicap of a shortage of skilled labor," Manager Hoyt declared. "That is the great problem to be solved at this week's joint convention and the solution of the problem is the trend of most of the papers and the discussions scheduled on the most interesting program we have ever submitted. "When the war is over European manufacturers will launch the keenest form of competition the industrial world has ever known. The battle for possession of the world's markets will be infinitely more strenuous than ever before. Victory will go to the nation best prepared to meet the most exceptional situation in history. "Where the United States is at a disadvantage with other countries is in the failure of the manufacturers to get young, Americans into our foundations. We are not making enough mechanics to supply our needs." ASSAILED BY COUSIN PASTOR ATTACKS MR. WILSON'S St. Louis, Missouri — Rev. Samuel W. Woodrow, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational church here, and a cousin of President Woodrow Wilson, made the subject of his Sunday sermon the recent enactment of the eight-hour law by congress, in which he assailed that body and the executive. He said the railroad laborer was one of the best paid laboring elements in the country and that he got more on an average than teachers and preachers. "There can be no more pititable spectacle than can president, and congress frightened into yielding to the demands of a small element of the population," he said. Find 'Greatest of Palaces.' Philadelphia, Pa. — Announcement has been made at the University of Pennsylvania museum of the receipt of a communication from Dr. Clarence S. Fisher, head of the Ackley B. Coxe, Jr. expedition in Egypt, describing the discovery of the "greatest of all palaces" occupied by the emperors of ancient Egypt. According to Dr. Fisher's letter, the excavated palace contains the famed Biblical throne room where Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh and demanded liberation of the israelites. SUCCESS OF RARE MUSICAL GENIUS STUDENT OF THE MASTERS. Value of Due Preparation For Service Exemplified In the Career and Work of a Former Pennsylvania Boy Who Has Made Good In Canada and the West as Soloist. By N. BARNETT DODSON. While it is not a rare thing to hear of scores of young men and women of the colored race who have attached greatness to finished musicians, both vocal and instrumental, yet there are scores still unbound of except in a local way. It is therefore a matter of pleasing information as well as a splendid evidence of the progress which members of the race are making in classical music. Albert Edward Greenlaw of Detroit, Mich., belongs to the class of singers which has risen on his merit and whose services have been engaged by the most critical toy. ALBERT E. GREENLAW. ers of music for both religious and social entertainment in a very large way. Mr. Greenlaw is a native of Scottsdale, Pa. His parents, Peyton and Hannah Greenlaw, removed to Canada when their son Albert was eight years of age. Young Greenlaw received his elementary education at Woodstock. Out. Being musically inclined, his parents decided to give him a musical education. Mr. Greenlaw studied under some of the best teachers with special attention given to voice culture. His made rapid progress in his studies and early showed signs of remarkable capacity for music of the most difficult composition. He finished his course in music with a fine record, and his success as a professional vocalist is due to the thorough preparation which he mastered entering upon his chosen profession. On account of his thorough preparation and ability as a solist Mr. Greenlaw has endeared himself to the local public in Detroit, through which he has become known, in other parts of the west. For ten years he has been constantly engaged by some of the wealthiest and most influential congregations among the white people in Canada doing solo work. For such services he receives liberal pay, which enables him to keep himself abreast of the times in the best music and also time to study and consult the highest musical authorities. During the winter of 1915 Mr. Greenlaw was engaged by one of the most successful evangelists of the country who was laboring in town. His solo work in this connection won great praise for him from the pulpit and press. Every place in which Mr. Greenlaw sang and every time it was announced that he would sing throngs upon throngs of people gathered to hear him, and it was said that much of the success of the revivalists with whom he labored was due to the marvelous sweetness and fullness of Mr. Greenlaw's wonderful voice. Quite recently Mr. Greenlaw sang at the great mass meeting held by the Detroit branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and his fine singing was quite a revelation in Detroit, his own home town. It has so happened that he has always been detained from home in his profession and had, been given no opportunity since perfecting his musical education to acquaint the Detroit people with the splendid quality of his work. He is still a young man and in the near future intends to tour the east, where musical critics will have a rare opportunity to add their praises to the most successful male vocalist yet produced by the colored people. All lovers of music who have heard him are his friends and admirers. The Hon. Alfred J. Murphy, noted circuit judge of Detroit, said of him: "It is a pleasure to attest his remarkably the voice. In volume, range and shading his voice stamps him, a rare artist. Personally of upright character, his great vocal excellence should commend him to every lover of music." The Hon. Woodbridge N. Ferris, governor of Michigan, also sent Mr. Green law a letter highly commending his splendid musical work in one occasion after hearing Mr. Green law sing. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. THE LISLE MONUMENT: Shaft Erected by the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention In Memory of the Rev. George Liale, First Baptist Modern, Foreign Missionary, Unveiled at Savannah, Ga. Sept. 9. PEACE A.D.1916 LISLE AFRICA, CAL, G, L, L, KYMES, MHN, HA, COLE, FL, IND, MA, MONT, ARK, CONN, GA, CWA, LA, MICH, ME, MD. Savannah, Ga.—After being in session in this city since Wednesday, Sept. 6, the national Baptist convention closed one of the most interesting meetings in its history on Tuesday, Sept. 12. The number of delegates and visitors was estimated by the thousands, and among them wore men and women who have achieved success in business, the various professions and in home and foreign mission work. The crowding event of the convention's work from a denominational standpoint came on Saturday, Sept. 9. When in the presence of the great throngs of people the monument erected to the memory of the Rev. George Liske was unveiled, George Liske was the first Baptist modern foreign missionary. He was born in Virginia in 1750, ordained to the gospel ministry in 1775 and sailed for the British West Indies in 1782. The monument was conceived in the fertile brain of the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, who has been the corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign board for nearly a quarter of a century. Dr. Jordan traveled the country over in a campaign for funds with which to defray the expense of the monument. In this effort the board gave its hearty co-operation, and the denomination responded to the appeal quite nobly: Among the states which sent in their contributions in time to have their names carved on the monument are California, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Minnesota, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio and the District of Columbia. There was also a contribution from Africa. OLD NORTH STATE BAPTISTS. Sunday School Convention Commands Must Be Present For Entry Work of Dr. James E. Shepard. The North Carolina State Baptist Sunday school convention is among the largest and most progressive religious organizations in that section of the south. The annual meeting of the convention recently held at Oxford was largely attended, and the reports from schools throughout the state showed that a great religious work is being done for our young people. The Baptist denomination in North Carolina has made remarkable progress in numbers and efficient church. Sunday school and missionary workers within the past five years. The coerced Baptists of the state now number over 200,000. The increase in church membership is largely due to the efforts of a better educated ministry than is true of the recent past and to the fact that a larger number of schoolteachers and parents are taking a more active interest in the children of the urban and rural communities. The convention showed its interest in the splendid efforts which Dr. James E. Shepard is putting forth as president of the National Training school, Durham, N. C., by adopting resolutions commending the work of this noted institution and pledging confidence and support in and for Dr. Shepard's able leadership. The leaders of the convention are all loyal supporters of race thrift. Therefore it is not surprising to the public that this large and influential body of Christian men and women should recognize and encourage an institution like the National Training school and the constructive work of Dr. Shepard in preparing trained workers for better service. St. Louis Church Holds Big Celebration. The Metropolitan Institutional A. M. E. Zlon church at St. Louis held an interesting exposition for a week at the Coliseum in St. Louis in recognition of the half century of the freedom of the race and 104 three hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare. The celebration began on Labor day. A feature of the program was a tabloid and paugust. SACRED HEAVEN PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN RIGHTS Joseph G. Manning's View About Southern Genditions. Former Member of Alabama Legislature Reveals Methode Used to Deprive the Colored and Poor White Citizens of the Ballot—Strongly Condemns Lynchings. Commenting on Senator Tillman's recent speech in the senate in which Mr. Tillman referred to the attempt being made (in his opinion) to stir up national political campaign, the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama recites some very cold facts as to the political situation in the south. Mr. Manning is a former member of the Alabama legislature. He is on again on the firing line and is well known throughout the country as a great agitator for the civil and political rights of the colored people. Mr. Manning in part says: Mr. Stemming in pary says, "Senator Tillman deplores sectionalism, and those who favored the continuance of chattel slavery deplored sectional interference with southern institutions. 'So will it be regarded as sectionalism if one should discuss the conditions of political slavery in the south. Revert to South Carolina, having 165,780 white and 335,046 black male citizens of voting age, and then see that the vote for Mr. Wilmson for HON. J. C. MANNING. president in 1912 was only 48,942. There is Alabama electing Mr. Underwood to the senate on 63,000 ballots and having 200,000 black and 300,000 white male citizens of voting age. "In Iowa Mr. Cummings polled 205,832 votes for senator, and the combined vote of all candidates was 427,102. These two states have about an equal population. One state, Alabama, has ingenuous laws to restrict voting. The other, Iowa, has free government. Alabama refuses to recognize United States citizenship as distinctive from state citizenship and declines to permit the sovereignty bailout rights of all male citizens, while Iowa is within the letter and the spirit of the federal constitution. "Should a candidate for the presidency take up the cause of human rights, go into this southern question, show up the methods employed to repress the masses of the south, the flow of tears from Mr. Tillman would have the aspect of a Johnstown-flood instead of a sort of theatrical political play on the superficial sentiment of the north, always easily induced not to discuss those issues in the south that are, in fact, of national concern. "The north goes ahead, building monuments to its heroic dead, honoring the memory of Garrison, Sumner, Lincoln, Grant and those like them, while the southern political machine goes as steadily ahead, undoing all that these great exponents of human justice championed and defended and established, but as yet no voice is raised to protest its wrongs in South Carolina—to cry out, for example, as against the triple lynching in a southern state which occurred in August. "Are not the lives of those this side the ocean or the border as much to be protected as those on or across the ocean or over the border? If this is bloody shirt it is not at least bloody conscience! The counting out game was played in the south until the present system was conjected, to avoid contests for seats in congress, and the swing of the political axes has eliminated practically all colored citizens as voters, reduced them to political slavery and has cut into the poor whites until the aggregate vote in a dozen southern states, for the Democracy, is about 1,175,000, whereas there are about 2,000,000 black and 4,000,000 white male citizens of voting age. "There are questions higher than and above merely getting back into power; there are problems of deeper human interest than getting the south in the saddle out of the saddle in the nation's capital."

RECRUITING EFFORTS IN VAIN. ‘The refusal of President Thomas ‘Woodrow Wilson and the southern- democratic-controlied congress to pro- ‘vide, for the enlistment of Afro-Amer- cans, in the recent army reorganiza- tion bill is being felt, these days, and ‘with a vengeance, too. It is really amusing and, to some, very gratifying to note the failure of the “purely white” recruiting efforts to date and they have been somewhat strenuous, too. A recent report, sent out from Washington, D. C., gravely announces that the actual fighting strength of the U. 8. army Is only 78,397 combat. ‘ants and 22,002 noncombatants. Total, 100,937. On July 1, 1915, the fighting strength of the army was 78,397 and 24,296 noncombatants. Total, 102,693. ‘Thus, after nearly six months of en- ergetic recruiting to get an “imme- didate increase” of 20,000 men for the army, authorized by a special act of Congress, last February, the actual strength of the regular army is less than its strength fourteen months ago. Army officers and war department heads see in this amazing condition an ominous outlook for the regular army increase provided for in the new army law. It serves, to point out, they say, that, although Congress has pro- vided the legal form necessary for in- creasing the army's personnel from approximately 100,000 men to more than 175,000 men, {t is likely to be- come @ “mere scrap of paper” so far ‘ag the realization of the authorized in- ‘crease is concerned. Despite the ex- traordinary efforts put forth by the war department to increase enlist: ments, the 15,000 men enlisted during the past six months have only been Sufficient to replace those taken/out of the service by discharges and eae THE ANCESTRY OF OUR SHAME. ‘We have repeatedly declared that the humiliations which have come upon this country in our negotiations ‘with the belligerents of Europe are the direct result of the vacillating policy which the Wilson administration pbr- sued in Mexico during the seventeen months of its rule prior to the out- Dreak of the Byropean war. We must now thank Senator Fall of New Mex- ico for giving to us the direct and un- mistakable lineage of this child of shame, In his brief and effective reply to the mock heroics of Senator Lewis of Mincls, the New Mexico Senator Pointed out how, in August, 1913, the ‘Wilson administration instructed the American consular officers in Mexico to inform the local authorities in their several consular districts that this gov- ernment would hold them “strictly re- sponsible” for any harm that might be done to Americans or for any damage that might be inflicted upon American Property. This notice was given wide publicity in Mexico. ‘The Mexicans knew of it; the foreigners resident there, and the foreign diplomats, espe- cially, knew of it. Yet the bandits of Mexico did much harm to Americans ‘and they did much damage to Ameri- can property—and escaped scot-tree. Accordingly, when, in the winter of 1915, the administration addressed its note to the German government warn- ing the Wilhelmstrasse of the “strict accountability” which would be: ex ‘acted from violators of our rights as neutrals upon the high seas, the Kaiser's Ministers had been, of course, informed by their alert diplomatic rep- resentatives in Mexico of the Note on “strigt responsibility” of the August preceding. They knew that “strict ac- countability” was the illegitimate off- spring of “strictly responsible”"—and they knew, too, that it was an impo- tent child of feeble loins. The Lusita- nia and other horrors of the sea fol- Jowed as a matter.of course. Here we have, then the ancestry not only of shame but of a phrase. The literary genealogist of the day should be grate- ful to Senator Fall. ‘THE MASCHKE-DAVIS COLOR-LINE Vincent Marco, (white), was ap- pointed an assistant police prosecutor, ‘early this year, after a vain effort had been made to have a member of the ace (Roy Cheeks) appointed to the ‘position, by # delegation of our men, headed by Rey. Elam A, White, whom Mayor Harry L. Davis refused to sce. Political “boss” Maurice Maschke, and Director of Law FitzGerald, who un- der the law {s supposed to make the appointment, had "jugeled” the dete- gation back /and forth between them, finally getting rid of them by telling them they “would have to «see the mayor about it," with the result al- ready noted. Last week, Marco was asked to resign by Director FitzGerald as the result of charges preferred by &@ woman (white), according to the daily papers.” Did Maschke, Davis or FitzGerald offer the place to Cheeks or any other attorney of the race? Not so one could notice it. But they did give it to a young white lawyer. Places like this one and clerkships at the City Hall are NOT for Afro-Amer. icans—when Maschke is the political “poss.” it seems clear. It was so un: der the Baehr administration when he was the “boss,” and has been so, up to date, under his Davis administra. tion. Both “republican” too, if you please. ‘The only clerkship in the City Hall the race has is the one held by a young lady who won the place in civil service examinations under the Baker democratic administration. In deed, most of the jobs held under the Maschke-Davis administration were secured by our men when Tom L Johnson and Newton D. Baker, demo crats, were Cleveland's chief ex ecutives. Two years ago last fall Maschke told the editor of The Ga zette, when approached on this ver; matter, that “there was too much prej udice to make such appointments. And yet, democrats did not find tha true. Every other race nearly, repre sented in the republican party of thi city, is represented in the higher posi tions at the City Hall and Police Cour but ours. How do you like it?

Well what are you going to do about | when the time arrives, next year i the fall? That is the question to pon der over. THINK! BOOSTING CANDIDATE WILLIS. An advertisement announces that “St, John's A. M. E. church is to hold a large emancipation celebration serv- ice,” and on Sunday, too, with Gov Frank B, Willis, a candidate for oftice, as the principal speaker, right in the midst of a campaign. Mayor Harry |L, Davis and other politicians ae also to speak, reads the advertisement. A few weeks ago, during the primary campaign, another candidate for a po litical office made a speech in the main auditorium of the church, and on Sunday, too, if memory serves ux cor- rectly. We had thought that particu lar part of the church dedicated to religious service and not to the pro- motion of political candidacies; and of White men, too, A few years ago, when the “Constitutional convention contest" was on, the trustees of that churth would not permit even “a race mass meeting,” in the interest of a race can- didate selected by all of our people of this communtty, to be held in the Shure anditorium, saying 4 had been dedicated to religious service. So the meeting had to be held in the base- ment. Other meetings were forced there for the same reason. But it is very different now, it seems. What in the world has “come over” the pastor and members of St. John’s—whither are they drifting? Do they wish the church to be regarded as a political Wigwam? And to think that for some time after the beautiful new edifice was completed they were calling it St John’s Cathedral! GOOD LORD. HAVE MERCY! The pseudo “eman- ‘cipation celebration service” is intend: ed to “boost” Gov. “Starlight” Willis political chances for election, this fall, here in Cleveland where he tas insult ed the entire Afro-American clersy fand others of our good people by con senting (0 the appointment of the man- ager of a saloon in Central Ay. ds a deputy ofl inspector for this county to represent all of our people of this com munity. This, too, in the face of ex- ceptionally strong ‘and numerous. pro tests. Ask Rev. H.C. Bailey, presi ‘dent of the local branch of the N. A. A.C. P,, who led the protests, and hundreds of our other good people ef Cleveland, what they thjnk about it? ‘Willis will find out after election day, in November. Sept. 17 is no “eman- cipation day” date for our people or any other. Why then celebrate that day? Any old day is suitable for such | a questionable effort, we presume. But why so disgrace beautiful St. John’s A. M. B. church and all our good peo: | ple of this great city and county? Simply that some few discredited ind# viduals of color may “coddle” and “kow tow” to Candidate Willis and | the local political “bosses,” Maschke and Mayor Davis. There must be many good members of St. John’s, Whose very bloodsis boiling with indig- nation and shame over this disgrace ful proceeding. . It cannot be other- wise. It js a disgrace not only to the | church but to all of our good people of, this community. LORD, HAVE, MERCY! It will cost Gov. Willis hun- dreds of more votes in November and ought to insure his defeat. HE ought to know better even if those who in- vited him do not. | SOUNDING THE ALARM! Our own observation is that the ‘hiss of laborers which is going North ‘a hundred at a clip, is the very self same noisy, boisterous, rowdy class ‘which has made conditions in the South in a large measure what they ‘are. If they carry with them into the North the same rowdyism, the same ignorance of right living, the same dis- regard of other people's rights and rules, then it seems to us the total re sult will be more harm than good.— Louisville (Ky.)

News,sgiven above. How. ever, since they are here, many of them to remain, it Is absolutely neces sary “for the good and welfare” of all concerned that our good people of every community, where there is any considerable number of them, organize to work among them and do what they can to keep down the “rowdyism” so much in evidence in many public places and, too, so very harmful; to help them to “right living,” and to have decidedly more consideration for “other people's rights”, privileges and comfort everywhere. ‘This primarily in order to estop the curtailment of our people's rights and privileges in public places and 10 keep down our crime record which has been growing entirely too rapidly, in recent months, in the various communities referred to. In this work our local clergymen should lead. There ean be no doubt as to the wisdom of the course The Gazette las been urging for weeks and again we advise our good people of every community to “wake up” and become active at once. All seem to see and admit the necessity and ur- gency of immediate action. But our Ministers’ Alliance of this city fails to take proper action for some unaccountable reason. One day last week a streetcar conductor was shot to death on the west side of this city as the result of a dispute over a dime. Had that occurred on a Cen- tral Av. car and the brutal murderer been an Afro-American, judging by the community feeling caused by the dastardly deed, there is absolutely no question as to what a mob would have done to our churches and business places from E. 9th, to E. ssth. streets in the Central Av. vicinity. Of course, our ministers can continue to ignore the matter, but when the unexpected happens, as it surely will, unless @ change in present conditions is se- cured soon, they’ will be held to strict accountability for their failure to act, because they are admittedly charged with the moral welfare of our people of this community. Their con- tinued! failure will, too, almost amount to criminal negligence. Speaking of the recent mob demon- stration at Lima, this state, the Cleve- lant Daily Plain Dealer. recently sald editorially and very pertinently: “Perhaps no community is wholly immune from the mad hysteria of mob violence. It strikes where least ex- pected and has no consideration for jocal pride. Doubtless Lima was right: cously shocked at Newark’s display of barbarism a few years azo. But today Lima is the offender. Lima must pay. the price.” 2 Cleveland can be the next and it is folly to think that the Central Av. dis- trict would not be the mob’s first ob: jective point.

A heinous crime had been committed. Suspicion ate tached to a Negro. He was arrested and turned over to the custody of Sheriff Ely, to be held for trial by due process of law, Evidently the sheriff knew his community. Mob passion was fired, and He knew that the madness of it was unreasoning, and ax brutal in its muwnifestations as that which prompled the crime it sought to avenge, Sheriff Ely believed profound- ly in the*binding solemnity of his oath Of office. He was elected to execute the jaw. He is of that admirable type { unswerving conscience and grim de- Pssination to do just that and nothing se. It was the law that the accused Negro should have bis day in court. it was the worn duty of the sheriff to enforce the law in that respect, Just ais It would be his duty to enforce it if the Negro had been tried, conyict- ed and sentenced to the extreme pen- alty. Anticipating the blind fury. of the mob, Sheriff Ely undertook to ful: Hill the sworn function of his office, and thereby go spare his community the evil blat which mob-madness would put upon it. That whieh the sheriff sought to do was precisely what every citizen who voted for him bad a Fight to expect, and what most of them did expect.” He provedsheroically true to the trust reposed in him. He braved the demon of race hatred, frothing in the white heat of mob vio lence. He cheated the mob of its prey. He won, though the price he paid, in the death of his little daughter, was to him # heartwringing tragedy. He was a man among beasts, and the man was vietor. Ignoble is the stain of this race hatred on the American exeutcheon, showing not so frequent- ly as in the past, yet with malignant color does it crop out here and there, and now and then. The rage of the | mob is utterly condemned by all think- ing persons; and in the measure of that condemnation, the heroism of the. peace officer who braves it, and, suc: cessfully, as this Allen county sheriff did, stands out the clearer and com mands the greater praise. “IDENTIFIES” WRONG MAN. The Victim of the Lima Assauit Picks as Assailant a Man Three Months in Jail. Lima, O.—Hope that Mrs.* Vivian Baber, Said to have been attacked last week by Charles Daniels, whom a mob later attempted to lynch, could iden- tify the man positively as her assail- ant, Was dispelled, last Tuesday night. ‘Mnmediately ‘after the arrest of Daniels Mrs. Baber declared he was the man who had attacked her. Sheriff Bley sent three Negro pris. oners from the county jail, chained together, to the city hospital to see if Mrs, Baber could tell the difference between faces. The woman immedi- ately picked out one of the men as the one who attacked her. ‘The man she accused had been in jail here three months. i Sheriff Eley declared he did not know where Daniels is being held and has no desire to know until after the grand jury adjourns. He believes, he sald, that the man is in the Lucas county jail at Toledo. THIS MAN {S “WHITE.” Mountain Grove, Mo., Sept. 6.—M. E. Smith, a justice of the peace, liv- ing a few miles north of here, pleaded guilty in the Crimnal Court of Wright County today to statutory charges, pre- ferred against him by three of his daughters, and Was sentenced to eighteen Years in the Penitentiary. Smith's arrest followed the recent marriage of his éldest daughter to a young farmer, who caused the war- fant to be issued. All mentioned are “white.” CIVILIZATION VS. THE MOB. Sixteen menibers of the mob which stormed the jail at Lima, Ohio, last week in an attempt to lynch a Colored man charged with crime have been indicted. Thirteen of the sixteen have been arrested and are in jail. It is believed that 100 indictments will be returned. That js the difference be- tween Ohlo, where the law is re- spected, and Georgia, where the mob rules supreme, Ohio acts within a week: Georgia pever acts. THE SMITH STUDIO ARTHUR J.

IMPORTANT COMING EVENT FOR THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH Denomination to Hold Triennial Convention at St. Louis, Oct. 8. Many questions of farreaching importance to the Protestant Episcopal church and the churches of that denomination among the colored people of the United States will come up for final adjustment at the triennial meeting of that body, which is to be held in St. Louis in October. One of the leading topics for discussion and settlement is that of selecting a bishop or bishops to preside over the churches of the denomination among the colored people. Upon this question the denomination is seriously divided. The report of the joint commission which was appointed three years ago will present a minority report as well as the majority report to the convention. The minority report, criticising the attitude expressed toward the Negro in the majority report of the joint commission, has been signed by five persons. The majority report recommends that the minority report be rejected. The majority report recommends that a separate racial district for the colored people of the south be established, relieving bishops of southern dioceses of any further jurisdiction over the thousands of Negro members of the Protestant episcopal church and instead that a colored bishop at large be elected and consecrated. The minority report strongly urges that no such action be taken and recommends instead that some southern diocese shall soon take advantage of its present right, according to the canons of the Episcopal church, to elect a colored suffragan bishop to serve under the white bishop of the diocese. Two bishops, two rectors and one layman signed the minority report. One of the rectors is the Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Stires of St. Thomas' church. Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street, New York, so it is said. The bishops, who are both from the south, are the Right Rev. William A. Guerry of South Carolina and the Right Rev. Frederick F. Reese of Georgia. The second rector is the Rev. C. Braxton Bryan of Petersburg, Va. The layman is Joseph Packard. It is the belief that the issue will cause one of the liveliest discussions in the convention. The minority report characterizes the majority report as "both unchristian and uncatholic." It states that a separate racial district "contravenes a fundamental principle of Christianity and destroys the unity of the church under one bishop, which has been the rule and practice from the beginning." NEW BUSINESS MOVEMENT. Plan to Promote Racial Enterprises Suggested by Dr. R. R. Wright. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the versatile editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, who has been appointed manager of the Book Concern, has come PANCHALA forward with a brilliant idea, which has made a great impression upon the business men of Philadelphia and is being discussed as one of the most interesting topics in church circles. It is to observe throughout the country a "Negro business booster week," which is to begin with a "booster Sunday," when every pastor in the nation is to preach a booster sermon and urge his congregation to patronize race business men. During the week following every Negro in the nation is requested to make purchases from Negro business men. Dr. Wright suggests Oct. 22-29 as "business booster week." His plan, so far as Philadelphia is concerned, is told as follows in the current issue of the Christian Recorder: "Philadelphia has a population of more than 100,000 Negroes, and if we include the suburban towns from Camden to Chester the number will approximate 140,000. No definite effort is made by merchants to get their trade. The big white merchants do not want it or do not know how large it is. The Negro merchants too often depend upon mere race pride to get the trade. "But, as a rule, the people do not know who the colored merchants are. For instance, as well informed as the editor is, he does not know any Negro who sells nails in Philadelphia, or who makes shoes, or who repairs automobiles or who does roofing or plumbing or drying cement walks, or a hundred other things. But they must be here and would be patronized if we knew them. "If our people knew the places they would go to them. "We are going to make a suggestion not only for Philadelphia, but for all places—let the church take more interest in Negro business and appoint a business booster day. We suggest Sunday, Oct. 22, as Negro business booster day throughout the country, when every pastor shall urge the patronage of Negro business from his pulpit and, if it can be arranged, give the Negro business men an afternoon hour for addresses on Negro business. "Let the week, Oct. 22 to Oct. 20, be business booster week, and so it will be necessary for Negro in every town to purchase something from a Negro merchant. What say you, brother ministers? What say you, business men? Let the people know that the Negro business man exists where he is, what he has to sell, what his terms are and that he will treat them right. "Let the Negro papers talk booster week and get out special editions where they can."

Editor Gazette, the Dear Sir:-Some time in 1915, Gov. Frank B. Willis agreed to the appointment of a local Negro as a deputy oil inspector for this county which position he held until January 1 when his resignation caused a vacancy in the oil inspector. Meanwhile, two or three aspirants applied for it, among the number being a local saloon-keeper who operated on the main thoroughfare of our people, where our church-goers must be on duty in churches, being embarrassed by hangers-out, and others passing in and out. In spite of our vigorous protests (for nearly two months) to Gov. Willis, as ministers of the gospel (representing several thousand Colored church communicants), against the appointment of a saloon-man, recommended largely by the saloon element, the Governor has appointed him and his staff to the saloon-dorsed, one whom we thought the best to represent the race in an official capacity. We, as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and night-letters (telegrams) to Gov. Willis in protest against the appointment of the saloon-man and endorsing the other aspirant. The Governor, however, has deliberately and outrageously ignored our protests and endorsements by giving the position to that element which with their business (saloon) is doing more harm and causing more retrocession of the flower and the young people than the adjoining physical slavery of our parents before the "stxties." We, the ministers and churches, stand for race elevation, a virile manhood, worthy citizenship and factors in every community, and for a better manhood and life. The Governor's action in this matter is in direct opposition to all these—and HURTS! What are we to do when these contemptible indignities are continually heaped upon us—appointing men to state and municipal jobs to report to the decent Negro republicans of this community, thus saying to the people, white and Colored, that SUCH men are the REPRESENTATIVES of the Negroes? We must and will organize and work to defeat any candidate for office, he be democrat or republican, who will so insult us, and Gov. Will will be made to feel this, politically, if he is a candidate for office in November. Signed. (Rev) H. C. Balle, Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church, President, Cleveland Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. REV. CARL W. HASKELL. Columbus, O., March 17, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I have read Dr. H. C. Bailley's splendid article in The Gazette concerning the outrage of the police against a woman appointed a saloon-man to office despite the vigorous protests of Cleveland's leading ministers of the gospel and prominent citizens, and wish to register my hearty approval of the same. I have known Dr. Bailley all of my life. I have been a true type of runhood, standing firmly for the cause of justice and the rights of our people. Shakespeare said in his "Julius Caesar," "The evil men do, lives after them. The good is often intertwined with their bones." But thanks be to God we have some good men who are being thought of and admired by their lives, receiving flowers before the Master bids them to lay aside their weary tolls. It is high time that our race awaken to these facts: The Republican party has always thought that they could carry the Negro vote regardless of whatever outrages they might commit, and that they be胎生 honors in the emancipation of Negro race. But God accomplished that task and his servant, Abraham Lincoln, has passed to the great beyond. Furthermore, if we ever owed the party any debt of gratitude or anything else for any part it may have played in the emancipation or during the following year, he followed it, God knows, in equity and port and vote for nearly a half century we have paid that debt and, too, with compound interest. It is now, and has been for many years, high time for the party to be considering the tremendous debt we owed for his long-time united support and paying something far more than it has in late years on that debt. I believe that I voice the sentiments of my good people everywhere when I say that the man and only the man who stands for the principle of right-ousness and justice, be he democrat or Republican, will be supported by the intelligent Negro ballot. We must punish Gov. Willis as a matter of self respect as well as race respect. It is our clear D. Obama is not the party. I am a Republican. Yours resp. (Rev.) Carl W. Haskell. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Dr. John Pattrick Turner, one of Philadelphia's foremost colored physicians and a medical inspector in the public schools, has been assigned the task of organizing a new town for the African race in the mountains of North Carolina. The tract over which the novel town will be laid out covers more than 4,000 acres and is located on the main line of the Seaboard Air Line railway, with a direct route to the markets of the world. Doctor Turner is authority for the statement that the town will be unique in many ways and will be a standard for the establishment of Negro communities in the future. Plans for the new Negro town are being worked out at Chautauqua, N. Y., and by those employed in the establishment and maintenance of Pinehurst, N. C. No name has been selected but the town and the streets will be named after illustrious Negro men and women. The charter of the new Negro town will restrict ownership of all property to persons of African descent. It is proposed to make the place the center for the development of Negro music. A university and industrial school are to be features. Two modern hotels will be established, one for blacks and the other for white tourists, who may visit the community to observe its workings. There are to be raised figs, sugar cane, tobacco and wheat on the land neighboring the town, every home of which will have its vegetable and flower garden. The industries will include the making of silk, sugar, flour, tobacco, steel and machinery, according to Doctor Turner. All of these plants will employ Negro laborer. Every opportunity will be given Negro laborers to become efficient in the industrial school, the paramount idea of the whole project being co-operation. John T. Patrick of North Carolina, founder of Southern Pines and South Mount, N. C., is the principal financial backer of the project. He is a retired official of the Sea Board Line railway and is deeply interested in the development of the colored people in North Carolina. At the Negro education convention at Washington, the question "Should the Education of the Negro and White Youth be Identical?" was taken up at the morning session. Prof. J. E. Bonner, principal of Peabody school, Wilmington, N. C., leading in the discussion. He was followed by J. B. Dudley, president of Agricultural and Mechanical college, Greenbore, N. C. who differed from Professor Bonner saying that each one had particular environments and characteristics which must be trained and which must be trained and educated. Professor Jayson, president of the State college, Dover, Del., brought forth cheers when he said: "Give the Negro a chance as long as you can and as full a training as you can. It is impossible to teach a boy scientific agriculture until that boy has learned to read and write. That is, the foundation must first be laid, and for industrial education the training is just the same up to a certain point. Beyond that point the boy or girl begins to specialize and emphasis is given to one line of work. Give him the best start possible." A resolution was offered by Col. George T. Wasson to the effect that the congress indorse Hughes and Fairbanks for president and vice president, but after a lengthy discussion, a The general life of a nation such as America, composed of many groups and interests in complicated alignments and opposition, can only be successful when each of those groups is fully self-conscious. When every group knows both its capabilities and its rights, uses the former and insists upon the latter, then we shall have a nation that is both progressive and civilized and free from slavery. We are far from that now, but with every new organization of self-expression on the part of a group we come nearer to it. One such expression that may play an important part in civilizing our life is the Champion Magazine, of which the first number has just been issued. This magazine, edited by the well-known Negro poet, Fenton Johnson, having as associate editors Emory Elruge Scott, Binga Dismond and Inez Canley, is devoted to the service of the Negro race, and apparently aims to cover every feature of Negro activity—business, literary, artistic and athletic—in a fashion that combines the freshness of news—and illustrated news, at A Salt Lake City man is the inventor of an undershot water wheel that will run when wholly submerged in a stream, the blades folding on the upward side.

I feel that I owe it to myself to pay respects to such a distinguished body of educators and race builders.

She was the founder of five Baptist churches in northern Virginia and of the Manassas Industrial school, as well as of the Union Baptist Sunday School Convention of Northern Virginia and the Northern Virginia Baptist association. The building of Calvary chapel was her first work, and she was buried there, about a quarter of a mile from her late home near Sudley Springs. Her grave is still unmarked, for the reason that no organization has ever been formed to receive money which has been collected in northern Virginia to purchase a monument.

The Negro population now is fixed at about 15,000; as compared with 6,000 shown by the federal census in 1910. The heavy increase is accounted for by the fact that a number of local industrial concerns are importing Negroes from the South in cartoons lots for work in local factories.

BABY'S MOUTH NEEDS CARE DAME FASHION'S LATEST DECREES --- Review of Styles Presented to the World by the Leading French Designers. SKIRTS WILL BE NARROWER Longer, But Less Wide, Is the Edict, PARIS--There is no doubt now that the French designers will put through their plan to give us skirts that are longer and less wide. There is no return, however, to the sheath or hobble skirt. Not a ripple on the surface of fashion indicates that woman will have less freedom in walking because of the tightness of the hem. There is a great deal of fullness taken out of the side seams in the new skirts, and the effect is more like the full skirts of the eighteenth century than those of last winter. A few of the Paris houses cut their walking skirts only three yards wide. Four yards, however, was a more general measurement, and many of the evening skirts fell to the floor in slight fullness, with a sizeable train behind. Even this moderate amount of fullness is not held out by cercles or crinoline, is there any tendency toward the barrel skirt or the exaggeration of the hips by the watteau panniers. No Hip Distension. Mind you, there is still an ornamentation of the hips, but it is not used for the purposes of distension. What one writer has called the slipper trimming, is a popular expression of the belief that the sides of a skirt should be brought into relief. Lanvin originated this trimming, and Pofret put a good deal of emphasis on it in a slightly different way. It consists of a stitched or embroidered band or bedroom slipper with a rounded toe, and this is placed downward over the hips and usually forms part of the belt. Certain forms of this slipper trimming have been so commonized in cheap, ready-to-war garments that the public may be wary of it. It is not possible to tell this early whether or not it will run more than a few weeks. Is the Short Skirt Doomed? There may be a few hundred young women and girls who will insist upon the extra short skirt until they are assured that it is doomed. It is graceful on all those who are not burdened with height or width, but it has been carried to such degrees of absurdity during the last six months by women who should have known better, that one does not look with any sorrow on its threatened downfall. All the smart French women have taken to Oxford ties as the fashionable shoe, the tie that has the broadly rounded toe, the short vamp and high. A Hat is of black velvet with an immense Russian ornament of cut silver in front. The brim is moderate in size and slightly curved, and the high, soft crown is carelessly dented at the top. Spanish heel with laceings of inch-wide ribbon tied in a smart bow at the instep. Such shoes demand a longer skirt than the high laced boot that America went quite mad over last winter. It is not possible to get away in our fashions from the reflection of the French spirit and French history, and in this connection the designers are wondering what effect the close of the war will have on the clothes of American women. If France is not victorious the experts believe that all the clothes in the fashionable world will be somber, Matter Is of the Ustmest Importance, Though Some Mothers Fail to Recognize the Fact. Most mothers feel if baby is given a good, tidal bath once a day, accompanied by a sponge bath at bedtime, that baby is clean; there are other essentials necessary for the making of a child's cleanliness. It is a well-known fact that many children suffer from mouth diseases, especially in hot weather, caused by neglecting baby's mouth. It is necessary that the toilet of the mouth be made every day at least and ofter if time permits. This should be done with great care and gentleness, not to injure the gums and the teeth. Mothers or nurses often forget their strength; opening the baby's mouth by force, they push their strong fingers into the delicate mouth, resulting in more harm than good. If baby is too young to have a tooth modest, demure. No flicker of gayety will creep through fabrics or costumery. If France is victorious, America will burst out in the gay panoply of conquerors. Scarlet and purple, gold and silver and all the magnificent trappings of military achievement and of elated spirit will be reflected in our clothes. No Victorian Trivialities. The joyful thing about the new clothes is that all the bows and futlings and ruffles and ruches that disgraced our recent costumery are absent. These styles, known as 1840 and 1870, were twisted into something that suggested grace and daring by those who were gifted by nature to transform something ugly into something charming by the alchemy of their personality—the kind of person, you know, who makes orangeade out of all the lemons handed out by life, to quote from an optimist's diary, which is, after all, the most constructive policy of happiness in this world. One gets weary of the Mark Taplerys of life who are forever smiling at the things that are wrong and pretending to be cheerful, but the chemical ability to turn something bad into something good, makes this word want to cheer the person who can do it. All of which is a verbose way of saying that only a gifted few can make Victorian ornamentation appear attractive. High Prices in Paris. Simplicity is the new keynote of French clothes, but expensive sima Soldiers and sailors, too, furnish inspiration for the new autumn clothes, and this new black velvet hat is an evidence of it. The black and white boa is of the new zebra-like fur. plicity, which, after all, is far better than expensive ugliness. Gowns are priced beyond the dreams of avarice today, and no one but a buyer for a rich American firm can afford more than one in Paris at this season. No plausible reason is given for this increase in prices. There is no need of one. Paris needs all the money she can get and she is no different from any other section of humanity on this planet in demanding all she can get when she knows that the world is dependent on her work. Whether or not this will mean that the American people will pay more for their autumn clothes is in the balance. We, the laymen, have never found that the American commercial world ever had the slightest hesitation in getting all it could out of us. Fashion That Are Promised. Several of the French houses still insist upon the Russian influence in clothes, but this does not mean the influence of the Russian bullet. There is a vast difference between the clothes of a Cossack and those of a slave in Scherazadna. Russian blouses, Paris says, will be longer than ever and will be belted with superb pieces of crude, brilliant Russian embroidery in which there is a glint of metal. Many jackets will be three quarter length. Satin is featured for cont suits, or rather, for one piece frocks with jackets. The gray known as bleu ardoise, which is slate blue, is to be incorporated into a variety of clothes. For everyday wear and sharing the place of honor with ermine, in a popular sense, is rabbit. This common petry is by no means commonly priced, and yet it is used so lavishly on all the new clothes that one imagines the French designers had been raising rabbits on a stupendous scale in order to get ready for this usage of the fur. The straight skirts which hang plumb from hip to hem are plaited. Many of the dressmakers indorse this style for the street. Short velvet jackets are added to plaid and striped skirts for the early autumn, and the velvet hat goes with them. There are two new shapes which the milliners have brought over from Paris, one of which is a hat from the Russian marine with a pompon on top made of feathers and the other a modified cowboy hat with a slouched brim and a huge silver triangle in front. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). brush a soft linen rag or handkerchief makes an excellent substitute. Likewise a little absorbent cotton may be wrapped about the finger or a small stick. The cotton projecting beyond the point should be dipped in boiled water and cooled until it is lukewarm. It should be applied to the gums with great care. After the tongue moves frequently and the mouth commences to secrete saliva the washing of the mouth may be limited to twice a day. Mothers often feel that the first teeth are of small consequence, because they are not permanent. They do not appreciate the fact that poor teeth make for poor health, they detract from the child's appearance and do much to injure the permanent teeth. Chinese Bracelete. Plain Chinese bracelets are used as trimming on hats, arranged so that the hat can be carried by them as if they were loops. --- COPY OLD FASHIONS DESIGNERS HAVE GONE FAR BACK FOR THEIR MODELS. Fall Garments, It May Be Said With Assurance, Will at Least Be Picturesque—Military Modes Also to Be Popular. If you want to be up to the minute in your clothes you must go back to the middle ages. The advance guard of the fall fashions has arrived from Paris, and the story it tells ought to be written by Geoffrey Chaucer or Maurice Hewlett. For it is a story of goodly ladies with long waist lines, in many instances with no waist line at all, unless on the ground. Where a waist line exists in the new mode, it is indicated about where the hem of the short skirt comes today. Well, perhaps not quite so far, but almost there. As for those skirts, they will be longer. But we all knew they had to be or be mobbed. Most striking of all the new military modes was a motor coat combining the ecclesiastical lines of the early renaissance-with the long cap of the modern Italian officer. This coat of soft cloth in tornado blue, which is a very light gray-blue, had a most interesting trimming of CARB. CRAY. BO WORD. THROUGH OVER BOUQUER BULLOX RENAISSANCE COAT ITALIAN CEREMON CARD HEMED OF DOLLION COAT steel beads. It had the lengthened shoulder line, the sleeve starting from underneath the bands of steel trimming. The cont was belted all around, but the belted back was completely concealed by a cape falling from the shoulders to the ground. This cape lined with faint gray, is designed to wind about the shoulders, for protection against wind and cold. Another interesting wrap revived the dolman worn in 'the days of the Empress Eugenie. This, too, was of bivonne red. If you don't know what a dolman is, ask your grandmother. If she doesn't know, it's a half-wrap, half-cape, that gets large at the bottom as wraps had to when they were worn over the hoops of the late sixties. *A new fur is Belgian hare and it is used on suits, motor parts and evening gowns impartially. Many a daddy will go a hunting next season to get a little rabbit skin to wrap his Baby Bunting in, or Baby Bunting's grandmother, as the case may be. This fur does not seem to me particularly beautiful by itself, but when combined in an afternoon gown with black velvet and old blue it was rarely effective. Italian lace is going to be used for the collars and cuffs of cloth gowns, particularly those showing Moyen age lines. One gown of beaver-colored zibeline had the dropped gathered skirt, the long shoulder line with a dropped sleeve, set on visibly, just as the skirt drapery was. There were touches of Italian lace at the throat and on wrists and a little necktie was worn about the neck, falling unti to the walstline. When the necktie began it was of chiffon of the beaver color, but it had ends of Italian beadwork in pink and brown. Generally speaking, the new fashions as they are indicated by advance models will be fussy and full, fussier and fuller than they were last whiter. Doesn't Pay to Knit Belt. It has usually been considered that knitting was the cheapest way of producing certain articles and it was quite natural that the colonel when advising the woman to send her man in Mexico a belt should tell her to knit it. She went home firmly determined to obey orders, and taking a dollar he had given her to buy a model band she hastened to the shop and invested in a natural color all-wool belt. Then she sped to the fancy work department and got wool as near like the sample as possible. Her first surprise came when she discovered that the price of wool had increased greatly, but she invested in Poncho Sweater. There is a new kind of sweater called the毛巾. It's a straight piece of fine colored wool, with an oblong opening at the neck, each two selvages caught at the waistline under the arm, with an ornamental band. These selvages, as well as the opening at the neck, are ornamented with brilliant Indian embroidery. These sweaters hang in a straight line back and front, and the width of the material is so wisely chosen that it does not extend more than an inch over the top of the arms. In choosing one, be quite sure that it is small enough. Its smart air is instantly obliterated if it is too wide across the chest and falls limply below the shoulders. Sports Dresses of Silk. Very kind to stout figures are specially made white silk sports dresses on Russian blouse lines with a loose belt dropped just below the natural waist line. These admirable models a quarter of a pound, which seemed ample for the job. This cost 56 cents and a set of knitting needles came to ten cents additional. The making was easy enough, beginning with 98 stitches on each of the four needles she rib-stitched for three inches. Then just as in knitting stockings she changed to all round stitch to make the body of the belt. This was to have been continued for ten inches with a ribbed strip at the other end, but long before the band was half finished the wool had run out and a double quantity had to be got. Thus the band cost something more than a dollar merely for materials, not to mention the time, which of course was much greater for a novice than it would be for an experienced knitted. And when the band was complete it was heavy, unporous and really compared unfavorably with the commercial knit band. To Crochet Over Hairpin: Maybe if you have been doing needlework or crochet long enough you will remember an old-time vogue for crocheting over a hairpin to make a very effective beading or insertion. This, together with many other old-time knitting and crocheting processes, is coming back into vogue. It can be done on a rather large wire hairpin, or if a larger beading is desired, a wire staple may be used. It is quick work and requires absolutely no thought, being, once the chain is started, purely mechanical. Use corresponding crochet thread and needle, according to the list in some crochet book or the advice of your saleswoman at the art needlework shop. Knot the thread with a loop which you pull over the head of the hairpin, keeping the knot in back of the pin, the thread from the ball running upward. Now with your crochet needle grasp the thread from the ball, inserting the needle from the front of the hairpin and under the knot at the back. Bring the thread upward and make a chain by grasping the thread from the back again but on top of the loop. Now turn your hairpin from right to left, leaving the needle in the chain but carrying the hook up over the rounded head of the hairpin or staple. The hook will then be in back of the pin between the pin and the thread. Now insert the hook through the pin to the front and pick up the loop on the left side of the pin, drawing the thread through from the back and then again through both stitches, on hook. You virtually make a single crochet through this loop. Turn the pin from right to left, thus bringing the hook to the near side of the pin again. Pick up the left loop again with a single crochet. Turn the hairpin and repeat the process. When the work accumulates it is pushed down off the ends of the pin, until a sufficient length has been crocheted. Outfit for Rainy Day. Rubber flowers on the hat are one of the features of this latest all-rubber outfit for a rainy day. Hail, rain, or snow cannot injure this costume; it will not fade nor come out of shape. From top to bottom this outfit is all pink rubber, umbrella, hat flowers, and coat. Correct Skirt Length. Word comes by way of one of the buyers, just back from New York, that skirts are six inches from the floor. She says the sudden dip occurred over night, and that New York woke up to find itself exactly in the opposite predicament of the Mother Goose old lady with long skirts instead of none at all. The serge and broadcloth separate skirts, which are always the harbingers of a new style, are slim-hipped and measure anything inside of five yards round the hem. may be obtained in "extra sizes" at one speciality shop, which is the beneficent fairy godmother of the stout woman. The sports dress has a long Russian tunic in small box plats from shoulder to hem, and a skirt also laid in the small box plats so that the effect is one of pleasing continuity, broken only by the low-paced belt and the hem of the tunic, made to flare just the least bit, like the skirt hem, by means of a resilient facing. The stout woman wears her skirts to her ankles, but her white buttoned boots or dainty washable kid pumps may be as pretty as the footwear of a slenderer sister. Lace-Trimmed Capes. A handsome flowing Spanish cape is trimmed with nine ruffles of narrow lace in graduated' widths. Another cape is made of taffeta and lace, the taffeta being confined to the shoulder part of the garment. In another model plain net is substituted for lace in the body of the garment, but a finish composed of three ruffles of lace outlines the entire cape.
