IN UNION THERE ESSENCE THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO.14. Reasons Why Hughes Should Be Elected Reasons Why Hughes Should Be Elected BECAUSE he stands for Protection, Prosperity, Preparedness and Patriotism. BECAUSE he will not permit partisanship to triumph over Patriotism. BECAUSE his speech of acceptance expresses his desire to co-operate with labor for its advantage, not to exploit it for his own. BECAUSE he will command the respect of Europe and Asia and win the friendship of Latin-America. BECAUSE he will never by proclamation deny the right of Americans to pursue their business in other lands under the protection of the American flag. BECAUSE he will not repudiate the American flag in any land. BECAUSE he will not put action in words, but words into action. BECAUSE, as Theodore Roosevelt well says, he has high sentiments BECAUSE, as Theodore Roosevelt well says, he has high sentiments of justice and dignity, is upright and straightforward, is an incontestable master of judicial matters, and always translates his words into deeds. BECAUSE he is a strong, sure, courageous man, with a clear-cut program before him and with the courage, intelligence and determination to carry it out and bring to our country self-respecting peace and world-wide respect. BECAUSE as Governor of New York he has already proved that he dared to do the right thing, and is prepared to further do and dare when called into a wider field. BECAUSE he is not a dreamer and not a quitter. BECAUSE he is a firm friend of preparedness for the United States and not for preparedness through political expediency. BECAUSE he will not burden with war taxes in time of peace. BECAUSE we need a tariff not founded upon free trade, nor for "revenue only," but to protect American labor and American industry from the deadly competition of the foreigner. BECAUSE he is a red-blooded American. His policy will be "America first, America efficient." BECAUSE he can be depended upon to keep platform pledges. BECAUSE he will protect this country against being flooded with the cheap manufactures of Europe after the war. BECAUSE he is the chosen head of a party which has long fathered all great constructive legislation which experience has proved to be wise and which has invariably been opposed by the Democratic party. BECAUSE a business man is going to be especially needed in the next few years. In consequence of the European war a tremendous readjustment of the world's business is ahead. The United States must be economically prepared. It must not, as now, be left defenseless. It must not have a President with an untrained business mind, ever changing. Mr. Hughes made a remarkable record as a business Governor of New York. He has extraordinary ability to see all sides of a question. Not from him, as from Wilson, will be heard any declaration that he will hang business men "high as Haman" if they do not agree with him. BECAUSE he is a man of forward vision, of practicability and firmness, not a mere rhetorician and theorist. BECAUSE he stands for the protection of American lives and property abroad as well as at home. BECAUSE through him the whole nation will be in the Government. It will not be ruled by one section, nor by one man. BECAUSE he is for an effective, not an unsound and sham system of rural credits to help the farmer and for a wise conservation of natural resources. BECAUSE he is for a Federal workingmen's compensation law suitable for the employees of the Government, and those employees engaged in interstate commerce and subject to the hazard of injury. BECAUSE he favors investigating before legislating. Reasons Why Wilson Should Be Defeated Reasons Why Wilson Should Be Defeated BECAUSE, to cite Representative Fitzgerald, Democratic Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House, during his administration the Democratic Congress has been the most extravagant that has ever met in the capital. BECAUSE he insists on his shipping bill—an indefensible piece of folly which would destroy such merchant marine as we now have. BECAUSE, although he says "he kept us out of war," the story of Mexico, San Domingo and Hayti refutes him. BECAUSE he runs anti-climaxes. He marches in only to march out again. BECAUSE he signed the seamen's bill, which practically has wiped out shipping on the Pacific Coast. BECAUSE he attempted to scuttle from the Philippines and was defeated only by twenty patriotic Democrats who voted with the Republicans of the House. BECAUSE he appointed as Secretary of State William J. Bryan after denouncing him as a pest who should be "knocked into a cocked hat." BECAUSE he made possible Villa, murderer of men and despoiler of women, and Carranza, the fatuous and futile "First Chief." BECAUSE Wilson's text book statesmanship and grape-juice diplomacy have made the United States an international laughing stock. BECAUSE he appointed "deserving Democrats" to the diplomatic corps, displacing experienced men at a time when it was essential to the foreign trade and honor of the United States to retain competent, experienced men. BECAUSE he is incompetent to lead, and veers like a weather vane whenever a zephyr of public opinion seems to blow against him. BECAUSE his "one-track mind" has too many turn-tables. BECAUSE he litured the embargo of arms so that the Mexican desperadoes have used American ammunition to murder American soldiers and civilians. BECAUSE the promised "pitiless publicity" has been replaced by private, special, secret negotiations by personal agents and representatives, appointed by President Wilson without "the advice and consent of the Senate." BECAUSE he reverses himself so rapidly that the entire country is撕ick from the motion. BECAUSE he is for free trade, direct taxes and an empty treasury—the same old Democratic trinity. BECAUSE if the Payne-Aldrich law had been in operation in the last nine months of 1915 we would have collected $91,656,161 more than we did under the Underwood law. It would have met the treasury deficits and have avoided war taxes. The foreigner selling in our market got the entire benefit of the $91,656,161. BECAUSE during the first ten months of the Wilson-Underwood law there were more unemployed being fed by charity than during any ten months in our history, excepting under the Wilson-Gorman act. BECAUSE of his inconsistency on the immigration bill. In his "History of the American People," vol. 5, p. 213, he wrote: "The Chinese were more to be desired as workmen, if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year at the Eastern ports." BECAUSE he has not reduced, as he promised, the high cost of living, but has actually made it higher. BECAUSE he was pledged to a single term by the Baltimore convention, but before the type was cold he was building up his fences for another. BECAUSE, although posing as an advocate of civil service, every act of his as President in connection with civil service has been adverse to its principles, obstructive and destructive of its bonalde practice. THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1916. THINKS SPIRIT OF '76 AS SUPINE AS IN '16 THINKS SPIRIT OF '76 AS SUPINE AS IN '16 Wilson's "Chocolate Soldier" Secretary of War Excites Nation's Disgust by Declaring Washington's Army Was as Bad a Lot as Villa's Bandit Band. SPOLIATION OF NUNS AND CHURCHES THUS CONDONED "In Their Ragged Regimentals Stood the Old Continentals, Yielding Not, and This is the Reason Baker Sneers at Real Patriots Because He Basks in an Environment That Glories in Yielding Every American Right—Also Takes a Fling at Civil War Heroes, Saying They Commit- ted the Same Crimes of Which Mexican Outlaws Are Now Guilty. The defense which Secretary of War Newton D. Baker offered for Mr. Wilson's Mexican policies found quick response from patriotic Americans— but hardly the response Mr. Baker could have wished for. In a speech in Jersey City, the Secretary likened the Mexican revolutionists to the Continentals who fought with Washington. He admitted the Mexicans were a rascally lot, but said their actions were those of all rebells. The patriots of the American Revolution looted churches and drove ministers from them on their famous march to Valley Forge, he added. Protest have come from far and near. The Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution met and adopted a resolution condemning "in the strongest terms the unpatriotic language of the Secretary of War." Members of the society were outspoken in their denunciation. Some declared that unless his remarks were repudiated at once by President Wilson a movement should be started to force the Secretary's resignation. Friend of Baker's Joins. The Empire State Society meeting was in the Waldorf-Astoria. In the chair was Louis Annin Ames, president of the society, a Democrat, a stanch supporter of the Administration and a close friend of Secretary Baker. He was asked if he had any personal comment to make on the action of the head of the War Department. "It is all told in the resolution," said Mr. Ames. "The resolution was passed unanimously, so it embodies my views." The resolution follows: "Whereas, it is reported in The New York Tribune this morning that Secretary of War Baker, at a public meeting held in Jersey City last night, used the following language reflecting upon the character of the members of Washington's army at Valley Forge, and likened them to the present Mexican revolutionists: "I know that the Mexicans do not respect American life and property, said Mr. Baker. "I know that they do not pay their debts, that they are rugmullins, that they desecrate Church property, that their money is no good and that they are generally worthless. But people never respect those things in revolutions. We did not respect them in our Civil War, Washington's soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their hands on; took the silver vessels out of the churches and sold them to buy drink. They drove ministers out of the churches. Their money was worthless and they were just as bad characters as the Mexicans." "Resolved, That we, the descendants of the patriots of the Revolution, condemn in strongest terms the unpatriotic language of the Secretary of War, and direct that a copy of this preamble and resolution be sent to him." Similar action will be taken by patriotic societies all over the country. HUGHES EPIGRAMS "America will not hold her own by declaration." "We should have investigation before legislation, not legislation before investigation." "If you go through the Democratic platforms for the last fifty years you will feel as though you were walking through a cemetery consecrated to departed constitutional theories." "I do not covet power; power means responsibility. I do not covet honors; I have enjoyed great honors. I simply desire to serve the American people." "I do not want office simply for the sake of holding the job." "We've got to get over the idea that ANYONE is good enough for a job in this country." "I want to see our public administration an honor to American ability." "Let our watchword be 'America trained to do her best.'" "When America hesitates the working man is apt to lose his job." "The Republican party in its policy does not depend upon a foreign war to save this country from disaster." "Weakness breeds insult; insult breeds war. Honest, firm, consistent, determined defense of known rights establishes peace and respect throughout the world." TAFT EXCORIATES HIS SUCCESSOR Asserts the Democratic Party and Its Candidate Are Seeking a Vote to Power by Disingenuous and Unsound Pleas. LEFT CLEAN SLATE FOR WRITING MEXICAN POLICY Former President Declares That the Passage Under Duress of the Adamson Bill Was One of the Greatest National Humiliations to Which Our Country Has Even Been Subjected. Declaring that the campaign of 1910 is as important as the campaign of 1806 and resembles that campaign in that the Democratic party and Its candidate are seeking a vote of power for disingenuous, unsound, but alluring reason, William H. Taft, former President of the United States, delivered the opening address of the New Jersey Republican state campaign at Trenton. Mr. Taft said, in part: "The great public advantage in organization and combination of capital and of wage carriers we all recognize. The power they acquire may, however, become so great as to tempt to serious abuse and public injury, and they have done so. Hence, we have had the anti-trust law and the interstate commerce law, directed chiefly against combinations of capital but effecting in some measure combinations of labor. Labor leaders have sought exemption from such laws as a privileged class, and in some cases they have been successful. While Mr. Wilson in one of his memorandums attached to an appropriation bill avowed his opposition to such class legislation, he united with the Democratic Congress in passing, at the demand of the unions, the Clayton Act, which, the labor leaders claim, takes unions out of the limitations of the Trust Act. "Unwise subserviency to the demands of leaders of organized labor finds its crowning instance, however, in Mr. Wilson's dealing with the threatened strike of the Railway Orders of conductors, engineers, traineen and switchmen. The orders claim to control 400,000 men, who run the freight and passenger trains of the country, which constitute the arterial circulation of commerce, and are necessary not only to the business but to the health and life of the people. Were these men able to tie up the railways of the country, as they said they could and would, it would mean enormous loss in business, and great deprivation and suffering to the public. It would mean that many millions of other workmen would be thrown out of employment, and lose the high wages they are now receiving, because without commerce local industries cannot proceed. The Railway unions said to the railway president "We wish an eight-hour day, with ten hours' pay, and if we work more than eight hours, we demand 50 per cent more an hour for the extra hours. If you do not give us this, we will not only injure you, but we will bring disaster to the country." The railway managers refused it the demand, but offered to submit it to arbitration. They said it would increase their cost of operation 800,000,000, and that this would have to come out of the pockets of the railway stockholders, by a reduction of profits, or out of the shipping public by an increase of rates. The labor leaders said they had had arbitration in the past and that it was not satisfactory that now unless their demands were fully granted, no power under heaven could prevent the strike, with its disastrous consequences. Under the duress of the threat, the President of the United States and Congress of the United States succumbed. It was one of the greatest national humiliations to which the people of this country have ever been subjected. It struck most a blow at the principle of arbitration for the settlement of industrial disputes. "Mr. Wilson as a publicist, attacked the enactment of a federal child labor law as an absurd extravagance, and a departure from constitutional limitations, and now within the last sixty days he has personally visited Congress to urge the adoption of exactly such a measure. "For the purpose of evading responsibility for present conditions, it is advanced in behalf of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic Administration that the conditions in Mexico were an inheritance from the last Administration. The last Administration did nothing to complicate Mr. Wilson's problems. Huerta had been twelve days in power when Mr. Wilson came in. Up to that time nothing had been done committing the government to one policy or another. Had the Republican administration been continued, Huerta would have been recognized, but with only twelve days before the coming in of a new Administration, it would have been entirely improper and inconsiderate for the outgoing Administration to commit the incoming to any policy on the subject. Mr. Wilson cannot shift the blame for his blinders in Mexico. He had a clean slate upon which to write when he came in. HARVEY REDHOT FOR HUGHES Espousal by Distinguished Editor of the Cause of the Republican Candidate a Significant Campaign Feature. ORIGINAL WILSON BOOSTER He Takes This Action Not Because He Is the Victim of Ingratitude But Because Wilson Stands for Wilson First and Col. Harvey Cannot Assist in the Betrayal of His Country for the Gratification of Personal Ambition—A Democrat's Patriotic Stand. The anovol of the cause of Mr. Hughes by Colonel George Harvey is one of the distinct features of the present campaign. It would be significant in itself that a man of his prestige, who had always trained with the Democratic party, had espoused the cause of the Republican candidate. But in Mr. Harvey's case the significance is very much greater, as well as the importance of the event. He has been not only, a Democrat, but a Wilson Democrat. Moreover, he was the first man of prominence to advocate the election of Woodrow Wilson as President, and for many years one of the closest friends and advisers of the present occupant of the White House. Mr. Harvey not only proposed Mr. Wilson for the Presidency, but as early as 1910 interested United States Senator Smith, a Democratic leader of New Jersey, in Mr. Wilson, and this resulted in the Wilson nomination and election as Governor of New Jersey. Mr. Harvey not only comes out for Mr. Hughes, but gives very intelligent reasons for his action in the current number of his "North American Review." In his judgment there are two great parties at this particular juncture in our progress as a nation is the better equipped and the more likely to render the highest public service? The other is, which of the two designated leaders is the more certain to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? Such an issue as the Democrats claim, that Mr. Wilson has kept us out of war and therefore is entitled to reelection, is brushed aside as something that has no proper place in the mind of the voter of this year. In Mr. Harvey's judgment, only the most insane partisan would venture to suggest a possibility of Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes inciting or inviting War with any European or Asiatic Power, and therefore there is no fair issue between them on this question. There are three elements, that are involved in the answers to these two questions, those of military and industrial preparedness, government by and for the people, and national honor and opportunity. So far as all of these are concerned, the answer is the same: Mr. Hughes is the man who should be chosen from each and every standpoint—both as the representative of the Republican party and as an individual. The best interests of the country are to be served by his election. Mr. Harvey calls attention to the fact that the utter absence of self-seeking on the part of Mr. Hughes throughout his entire career, confirms the belief that he does, in fact, from the very nature of his being, stand for "America first." On the other hand, no less surely and most disappointingly, happenings of the past two years culminating in the betrayal of his country for the gratification of personal ambition, prove incontestably that Mr. Wilson stands for Wilson first. That is Mr. Harvey's opinion. In his judgment there is no need to seek a conclusion; it finds itself. The summing up of the situation is that upon the clearly-marked issues as between the candidates, there is no reason why any professed Republican, any thoughtful Progressive or any principled Democrat should not, and every reason why every patriotic Republican should vote for Mr. Hughes for President. Such advice from such a source should make a deep impression upon the American electorate. It certainly is not given through any prejudice against Mr. Wilson, for its author would naturally be predisposed in favor of the President. Nor does it come from any lack of knowledge of Mr. Wilson's methods and intent. The intimacy of the two men has been too long and too close to admit of any lack of knowledge on Mr. Harvey's part. The man who, as Mr. Wilson's friend, first started the movement for him for President, now, after a test of Mr. Wilson in the White House, advises the American people to vote for Mr. Hughes. There should be no hesitancy on the part of the voters to follow this advice. Mr. Wilson has become so thoroughly neutral that he looks with grave suspicion on the American contention in any international dispute. The President "has kept us out of war," but would you like to have him boss the job if someone should force war on us? SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. REPORT CARRANZA READY TO QUIT Charges Made by Political Opponents That the First Chief Is Preparing to Leave Mexico. Washington Officials Believe Carranza Has Made Political Blunder; Villa Pressing on Chihuahua City. Washington, D. C.-Hard on the heels of the news that Pancho Villa has arrived at the outskirts of Chihuahua City and that the populace is fleeing in a panic comes the unconfirmed report that Gen. Carranza, provisional president of Mexico, is preparing to quit the republic. Charges that Carranza is ready to leave are being freely made by his political opponents in Mexico City. They are based upon his announced decision to quit his capital for Queretaro and the fact that Mrs. Carranza already has crossed the border in the United States, accompanied by the wife of her husband's war minister and chief supporter, Gen. Obregon. Information to this effect is reaching officials here from various reliable sources. So far nothing tangible tending to support the story has come through official channels. Political Blunder. It is known, however, that many officials here believe Gen. Carranza has committed a political blunder at least, if he is not in fact preparing for flight, by permitting his family to leave Mexico at this time. The trip, they say, was certain to be construed by his enemies as a confession of weakness. The purpose of the visit of Mrs. Carranza and Mrs. Obregon, as explained at the Mexican embassy, is for a tour of the United States. The state department has not received word that Gens. Carranza and Obregon have left Mexico City for Queretaro. Previous advances, however, said that the first chief would go to that place in connection with the meeting of the constitutional convention, for which delegates were elected last week. This is the only explanation obtainable here for Carranza's departure from his capital. Persistent reports that Carranza was about to leave Mexico have been in circulation along the border for some time. It is not known that the American military authorities have been able to gather any definite information in regard to these reports outside of the coming of Mrs. Carranza and Mrs. Obregon. Saw Hold Weakening. Many war department officials have privately expressed their conviction, however, that the de facto government, or at least Gen. Carranza's personal control of the political situation, is growing steadily weaker. Confirmation of the report that Villa has reached the outskirts of Chihuahua City and of fighting in the suburbs between Villa's men and Gen. Trevino's command was contained in a dispatch received by Gen. Funston at San Antonio from Gen. Bell, commanding at El Paso. Gen. Bell's report is understood to be based on information from Gen. Pershing. Information has reached army circles from several sources that Gen. Trevino is short of ammunition. Reports received by United States agents say Villa is receiving recruits from Sonora, Durango and Coahuila, but is unable to arm and equip them. In direct contradiction to reports that the Carranzistas are not in shape to fight is the statement, made by Andreas Yarcia, inspector general of Carranza consulates in the United States, to the effect that 12,000 Carranza troops are to be sent to take part in the campaign against Villa. ARGUE FOR SIMPLE LIFE ARGUE FOR SIMPLE LIFE CLINICS SHOW STOMACH ILLS MORE COMMON AMONG RICH THAN POOR. Philadelphia. Pa.-Clinics held in many hospitals, attended by hundreds of members of the Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America, in session here, were arguments for the simple life. It was the consensus of opinion among the surgeons that high living is responsible for more operations than is the life led by poor person. The rich are more subject to cancer of the stomach than others, it was stated. Dr. M. E. Rehfuss, during a clinic at one of the hospitals, demonstrated some of the theories held by diagnosticians generally that cancer may result from too much protein, the chief element in meats and some rich foods. Drys Are for Suffrage Geneva, N. Y.—Although the women of New York have no immediate prospects of enfranchisement, the Prohibition party believes in the justice of suffrage for them just as it has for 44 years, the party's national candidates declared in various towns. "It did not require four million ballots held in the clenched fists of women to make us declare for suffrage," J. Frank Hanley, the presidential nominee, said at Lyons. "Our party declared for it through principle 44 years ago." IN UNION WE SERVE UNDERWATER UNDERWATER CHARLES E. HUGHES "I am and always have been friendly in my feelings to the Colored people. I have expressed it in this city at a meeting held with reference to Dr. Washington. I know the burdens and problems of your people. In what I say as to brotherhood and opportunity denied to none because of race, in that word race I include the Colored American and am mindful of your problems.

Charles E. Hughes, to a delegation of Afro-Americans, at Astor Hotel, N. Y. City, on August 2, 1916. "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, and for exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens, regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right. I am sure you do not wish particular things because of color. You want, what is right and fair.

We ask our readers, voters, to show preference for those candidates who ask your support in the columns of The Gazette today, when you go to the polls to vote on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1916. We commend only capable and deserving candidates whom we feel sure are true friends of the race. The Democratic South has started the (Democratic) governmental machinery in an effort to see if it cannot find some way to stop the Afro-American emigration of laborers from that section of the country. Various Southern cities have enacted all sorts of miserable municipal laws in a vain effort to do so. Chairman Williams, of the State Board of Film Censors, in a letter to the editor of The Gazette, months ago, said plainly what everybody now knows or ought to know and that is that the Board and NOT Gov. Frank B. Willis barred from Ohio those infamous films, "The Nigger" and "The Birth of a Nation." Therefore, give the Board credit for that friendly and very proper action, and not Gov. Willis. TWO of its THREE members were appointed about three years ago by Democratic Governor James M. Cox. GOODBY "BIRTH OF A NATION." Now will the Epoch Producing Co. be good? The thanks of every loyal member of the race in Ohio are hereto wryly given to the Ohio Board of Film Censors (not Gov. Frank B. Willis) for barring from the state that company's infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation." CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS, MRS. MAUD MURRAY MILLER AND MR. W. R. WILSON, we salute you on behalf of a grateful people, nearly 150,000 of whom live in the great state of Ohio. HARMFUL STATEMENTS. The publication of that Cleveland Plain Dealer quotation (from an article written, some time ago, by George A. Myers), last week Thursday, was most unfortunate, to say the least. It does not pay us to ADVERTISE the existence of "lm-crowism," segregation, etc., in the local daily newspapers because it has a tendency to encourage prejudiced persons to increase such insulting and humiliating discrimination. It is to be regretted that Mr. Myers, or whoever furnished his article to the Plain Dealer reporter, did not think of this at the time. Furthermore, there has not been any "twenty-five thousand Negro immigrants come into Ohio" during the recent southern exodus, nor one-half that number. Such publications by the paper in question were only for the purpose of arousing organized labor and prejudiced persons in this section, as well as the democratic federal government, against the newcomers in particular and our people in general. Both Afro-Americans interviewed by its reporter should have been more careful. We trust they will be in the future should a similar occasion arise. A FEARFUL INDICTMENT OF WILSON AND DEMOCRACY. Among the first bills introduced in the 63rd Congress by a Democrat was one to repeal the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the U. S. Constitution, which confer citizenship upon the Afro-American. This was followed by other bills, introduced by Southern Democratic congressmen and senators, to provide "jim-crow" cars for our people in the District of Columbia; to segregate the races in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C.; to repeal the criminal statute which punishes as a crime, conspiracy to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen; to forbid the appointment of any Afro-American soldier as a commissioned officer of the army or navy, and to prevent our enlistment in the military service. Add to this the fact that President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has taken from us every appointment in the diplomatic service and every Presidential appointment in the federal service at home, but one or two; and hundreds of minor positions, to give to Southern Democrats; and has encouraged all sorts of humiliating and insulting discrimination against the race, and you have "the truth in a nutshell." VOTE FOR HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS Even Afro-American Democrats ha thomas Woodrow Wilson's candidacy, SANE member of the race can vote for with all the prejudices that one of and his southern controlled administ very much to har. our people during us twenty-five years to overcome it un under President Hughes and Vice Pres ministration (that is sure to come) the children of the race, old enough a crime against the race for any men for the Democratic electors—for Wil- white or black—you meet that needs them good." DO NOT VOTE FOR WIL The following communication is a the great mass of the loyal Afro-Am- wish to ask an unusually careful and of it by all of our readers and t place a copy of "The Old Reliable" G public officials respect our rights and old Republican party." Even Afro-American Democrats have "turned their backs" on President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's candidacy. Indeed, we cannot see how any SANE member of the race can vote for him. A southerner and Democrat, with all the prejudices that one of that section can possibly entertain, he and his southern controlled Congress have done so very much to har. our people during the past three years that it will take us twenty-five years to overcome it under the most favorable conditions under President Hughes and Vice President Fairbanks, their Republican administration (that is sure to come) and a Republican Congress. Even the children of the race, old enough to know anything, KNOW that it is a crime against the race for any member of it to cast a vote in November for the Democratic electors—for Wilson. Tell it; brother, to every one—white or black—you meet that needs to hear and know it. It will "do them good." DO NOT VOTE FOR WILLIS AND HILDEBRANT The following communication is self explanatory and so important to the great mass of the loyal Afro-Americans of the state of Ohio that we wish to ask an unusually careful and thoughtful reading and consideration of it by all of our readers and their friends in whose hands they can place a copy of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. There is only one way to make public officials respect our rights as citizens and members of the "grand old Republican party." Cleveland, O., Oct. 21, 1916.

Hughes and Herrick, and this includes The Gazette, of course, they, the loyal ones, cannot again support Frank B. Willis for governor because he has not only utterly failed to keep his promises to them but, in several instances at least, has also treated them outrageously, particularly our Cleveland clergymen, and other members of my race. Therefore, recall the two electrotype advertisements which contain Frank B. Willis' portrait and reading matter "boosting" his candidacy and please not send me any more advertising for him. I am perfectly willing to carry any you may have that is helpful to the candidacies of Messrs. Hughes and Fairbanks, Herrick and the rest of the Republican State ticket with the exception of Willis, and C. Q. Hilldebrant, candidate for Secretary of State, who has steadfastly refused throughout his two-year term of office to appoint a member of my race to a clerkship in his office—the first Ohio Republican Secretary of State to do so in more than thirty-five years. Among Willis' broken promises to my people is one to give us even ONE personal appointment. We are confidently looking forward to the ignominious defeat of both these pseudo Republican candidates on election day in November. Thanking you for your willingness to place the business orders, referred to, with The Gazette and regretting my inability to please you in this matter. I am sincerely. 'THE BIRTH OF A NATION' Banned by the Ohio Supreme Court—The Ohio Board of Film Censors Barred It From Ohio Columbus, O.,—The Ohio Supreme court, Tuesday, upheld the state movie censors in rejecting "The Birth of a Nation" film from the state. The court dismissed the appeal of the Epstein Papers for the miserable film, on the ground that the Ohio statutes do not provide any manner or method for bringing into the record the censored film. It will be remembered that the successful fight against this infamous photoplay and the other one, "The Nigger," was led, early last year, by the Smith, Hardy, Smith, of Cleveland, editor of The Gazette, and father of Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws which he introduced when a member of the Ohio Legislature, here, in 1894 and 1896, respectively. MORE POWER TO HIM! SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS Of Color to Be Tried by the Episcopa Church. St. Louis, Mo.—The general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church Joint Commission report on the "Racial Episcopate," involving the plan to appoint Afro-American bishops for our dioceses, was defeated by the adverse action of the House of Bishops, last Thursday. The experiment of appointing Afro-American suffragan bishops will in all probability be tried. IT WAS "LEAVING" TIME. The white wife of a white man in Denver, Colorado, gave birth to twins, one of which was black and the other white. The white husband left home, wife and twins, and the white mother turned them over to the city—Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. "Colored man in the woodpile," this time, "sartin suah." THE PRESIDENT Of the Erie Railroad is Frederick Douglass Underwood, (white). His parents were "abolitionists" alright. Albertus Brown, Esq., a former Washington, D. C. boy, was appointed acting judge of the police court of Toledo by Mayor Milroy, serving in the absence of Judge Austin. He is the first Afro-American attorney in that city to receive that distinction. Cleveland Afro-Americans have been so honored on several occasions, years ago.

One of Cleveland's Leading Jurists, a Candidate for Re-election—Judge of Common Pleas Court. Judge Martin A. Foran, a candidate for re-election as a judge of the court of common pleas of this county, whose special fitness for the position is conceded by all, was born in Susquehanna county, Penna., on a farm; was a Union soldier during the last eleventh months of the Civil war; taught school, was a cooper by trade and is a lawyer by profession; was a member of the Union in 1873, prosecuting attorney of the Police court from 1875 to 1877, and a member of Congress from 1883 to 1893. He has been a resident of this city since March, 1868, and was president of the Coopers' International union and editor of its Journal from 1870 to 1874. Judge Foran has practiced law for forty-two years and has been a member of the Cloister League of this city in its built in this fall on primary candidates, said that he was "a man of wide learning and experience and was an industrious, painstaking and fearless judge." His record speaks for him. Although judges are elected on a non-partisan ticket—still the proprieties prevent a judicial candidate from making the usual appeal for support of his friends. Judge Foran is so well and favorably known to our people and has been consistent a friend of the race that The Gazette feels sure that our voters will give him generous support on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1916.-Adp. The Home Restaurant, 711 Bolivar road, near E. 9th St., is our only well-conducted one in that section of the city and is convenient to our hundreds of "down-town" employees.

Trotter has failed to announce the receipt of the editor of the Denver (Colo.) Star's one dollar contribution to the "Trotter Race Press Testimonial Fund." Why? Charlotte, N.

Worth, president, spoke on "Our Needs." Rev. H. C. Bailey, speaker of the evening, talked on the "Conservation of Our Young Men." He attacked the policy of some of our so-called Christian institutions in drawing the color-line and spoke of the recent indiscretion act of Geo. A. Myers in publishing in the Plain Dealer, a daily (white) paper of this city, the statement that the AfroAmericans coming here from the south were shiftless and undesirable and that our people here feared an intensification of "jim cromism," segregation, etc. He said that we could afford to say this and much more, along this line, to our own people but that no good purpose was subserved by suggesting these same things to the whites and especially in their papers.

In local politics all classes or races "stand by" (vote for) those candidates they know are friendly to them. That is why they have friends in office who are of service to them when needed.

Throughout his career as a Union soldier, member of Congress, member of the 'Ohio Constitutional convention in 1873, prosecuting attorney of the Police court, judge of the Common Pleas court, and as a resident of Cleveland for nearly 50 years, Judge Martin A. Foran has been an undemonstrative but true friend of our people. This he has showed on various occasions as all who know him well will freely attest. We retain such friends only by showing our appreciation of their friendship in a PRACTICAL way, is particularly when they hit it. Judge Foran is a candidate for re-election as Common Pleas judge at the election on Nov. 7, 1916, and asks our votes. Our men, voters, have a duty to perform in his case that can only be done by casting a vote for him. Make it a point to find his name on the judicial ticket when you go to vote—Adv. Playing consistent billiards all the way, Dr. C. L. Reason defeated Al King last Friday night in a Cleveland Three-Cushion Billard league match at Polster's billard parlors, 30 to 22. --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1916 King, who represents the Brunswick Billiard academy, was playing for 38 points. Reason made many difficult shots which thrilled one of the largest crowds ever assembled for a local contest. He scored, the high run with four and also got two gatherings of three. King made three runs of three. The game was completed in 45 innings and the result was never in doubt after the first half of the contest was over. Reason played excellent billards. It was his first Cleveland win with victory. Dr. Reason is a nephew of Prof. Charles L. Reason, (deceased), of New York City, well known throughout the country as an educator, twenty-five years ago. His father, Mr. Patrick Reason was until his death, some years ago, one of Cleveland's best jewelers, located many years on Euclid Av, with the Cowell & Hubbard Co. He was also a 33d degree mason, a pioneer member of our first local organization of that order. His mother (English) Reason still will play Geo. Wheeler at the same billiard parlor, this week Friday evening. When Mrs. Ella White, Mrs. P. Lemon, Mesdames Thomas, Harris and Burgess; Revs. Young, Jones, Jackson, Bailey and Harris called at Chief Rowe's office at the Central Police station, last week Tuesday, to protest against the big gambling house opened recently in Clayton block, they were accused of royally received and treated by his secretary, Mr. Charles Smith.

A Republican Candidate for Judge of Common Pleas Court—Vote for Him—Self-Made and Deserving. Attorney George C. Hansen, candidate for Common Pleas judge, is 48 years old; was reared on a farm, and taught district and village schools, which enabled him to get his college and professional training. He was superintendent of Hoytsville, Ohio, school two years, and superintendent of the Perrysburg, Ohio, school, one year. He graduated from the Toledo Business college, Ohio Northern University, and the University of Michigan. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1898, and has been in the general practice of law ever since, excepting from 1908 to 1910, when he served as assistant county prosecutor. For the last three years, Mr. Hansen was complimented with the nomination for Common Pleas judge, without opposition. He is an experienced lawyer of rugged physique, and well-equipped mentally for the position. He is a director of the Detroit St. Savings & Banking Company and Vice President of the Lakewood State Bank; has always been active in the civic affairs of Cuyahoga County and has served as president of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. As chairman of the executive committee of the County S. S. Union's May Festival, some years ago, Attorney Hansen led in the effort that "squeched" an effort of Messrs. Seller and Cross, and helped to organize the affair, to segregate or bar Afro-American S. S. representatives from participation in the festival.

Do Not Again Vote for Frank B. Willis Willis Has Insulted Our Ministers and People and Has Not Given Our People a Single Personal Appointment. GREAT GOV. FRANK B. WILLIS. Now that the members of the Ninth Battalion, O. N. 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 Adjunct General Hough. It is understood that they are to be used in the work of preparing the mobilization camp for the reminder of the 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, as soon as his camp is completed - Coventry (Daily) News, Wednesday, June 21, 1916. BLAME THE WILLIIS 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. Wills' boyhood and adjutant-general, Benjamin H. Hough of Delaware, just about makes the good red blood of every Afro-American's body boll. 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 as 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. H. 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 on June 17, (note the day) they "were moved from their place in Camp Willis 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 aponeele until almost within a week, and as chief executive of the state, the governor is responsible for the shameful and insulting mistreatment of the Ninth Battalion that is felt, and keenly, too, by every loyal member of the race in Ohio—The Gazette, July 15, 1916. Your governor mistreated you; indeed he did. He handed you a lemon but gave the sugar to the other fellow. He gave you the bitter, but you wanted the sweet, too, to make your bitter sweet.-Aug. 14, 1916, letter to Co. D, 9 Battalion, from Will Edwin Smith, former member of Co. D. REV. H. C. BAILEY. Editor Gazette, 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 inspecting job. 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-goors must be to and fro to their church, ing 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 refused to appoint the man we endorsed, one whom we thought the most capable in the office capacity. We, as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and nightletters (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 retrogression to the flower. Our young minister in cities than the actual physical slavery of our parents before the "sixties." 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? We must state and municipal jobs as a reward 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, be he democrat or republican, who will so insult us, and Gov. Willis will be made to feel this, politically, if he is a candidate for office in November. (Rev.) H. C. Bailley, Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church, President, Cleveland Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1916. Strategic City of Tchernavoda Captured, Cutting Communication With Dobrudja. TRANSYLVANIA PASS TAKEN Closing Steel Circle Entirely About Roumania; Petrograd and Bukharest Admit Teuton Victories; French Hold at Verdun. Amsterdam, Holland. — With the strategic city of Tchernavoda captured, Vulcan pass in the Transylvanian Alps successfully stormed, and with her armies relentlessly pursued, Roumania, say military observers, lies at the mercy of the central powers. Berlin announced Tchernavoda was captured, depriving the Russians and Roumanians of their last railroad communication in Dobrudja. The capture of Vulcan pass, coupled with the capture Monday of Predeal pass, nearly completes the closing of a mighty steel circle entirely about Roumania. Roumanians Retreat. The Bukharest statement says: "Roumania's forces operate in the Black sea province of Dobrujia have retired to the north of the Danube town of Tchernavoda. "On the Transylvanian front east of the river Alt, the Teutonic forces were driven towards the north. In the region of Vulcan pass in the Transylvanian Alps, the Roumanians ceded ground. In the Uzul valley the Roumanians advanced westward. At Oltuz the Teutonic troops were driven beyond the frontier." Petrograd says: "In Dobrudja enemy attacks continue along the whole front. Our troops and the Roumanians, fighting as they retired to the north, were compelled to abandon their position from Tchernavoda to Tachaul lake." The Austro-German success on the north is important as opening another route into Roumania from Transylvania for Gen. Von Falkenhayn's forces. The Vulcan pass penerates the Transylvanian Alps half way between the Iron Gate of the Danube and Rothenthun pass below Hermannstadt. Petrograd announces a success for the Russians near Dorna Watra close to the junction of the frontiers of Bukowina, Hungary and Roumania, where the Austro-German forces have been driven from a series of heights. In Galicia, however, the Russians along the Armyvuka river, which covers one approach to Lemberg, have been driven back according to Berlin. Counter Attack Falls Counter Attacks Pan. The Germans made a counter attack north of Verdun in an effort to regain ground won by the French in an assault. They attempted to recapture the Haudromont quarries and the Damloup battery. The French war office announces that in both cases they were repulsed. Reporting on the French advance at Verdun, Berlin says the attack gained ground as far as Fort Douaumont, which was in flames, and that the fighting was continuing. German submarine attacks on Norwegian shipping continue. Five additional Norwegian vessels are reported sunk. BANKS ABE PROSPERING BANKS ABE PROSPERING HEAD OF FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD REPORTS ALL ARE EARNING EXPENSES. Boston, Mass.—Charles S. Hamlin, governor of the federal reserve board, told the Massachusetts board of trade at its annual meeting that the federal reserve system was in a thriving condition. "All the 12 banks are earning their expenses," he said. As a whole, the system for eight months ended in August last, showed combined earnings of more than $2,700,000, from which total current expenses of $1,300,000 should be deducted, Mr. Hamlin reported. The deposits of national banks since the passage of the federal reserve act, he said, had increased at a greater ratio than the deposits of state banks and trust companies. Will Increase Wages Toledo, Ohio. — The Boss Manu facturing Co., glove makers, have notified their employees of a 15 per cent increase in wages as soon as a new schedule can be prepared. Factory Burns. Marion, Ohio — The J. S. Rayl dairy supply factory was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $5,000. A gasoline explosion is believed to have caused the fire. Refuse to Book Orders. Youngstown, O.—Ninety dollars a ton for mutilation steel is being refused by manufacturers here largely owing to the sold-up condition of their plants. Fresh embargoes on export steel are being placed, although some producers are piling large amounts of their output. With railroad yards near the city filled with hundreds of cars loaded with coal, the fuel shortage for domestic consumers continues acute. Plants say they are getting barely enough for current needs. 11.53 Sunk. Is Report. Boston, Mass.,—Capt. W. G. Tudor of the British steamship Hochelga, which arrived from Louisburg, said that before he left Nova Scotia persistent rumors were current that the German U-boat 53 had been sunk off Sydney by the patrol boat Stanley. "Before I left Louisburg I was told by a shipping man that I need not worry about the German submarine," said Capt. Tudor. "This man said the U-boat would not bother any more British vessels, because she had been sunk by the Stanley." FLUFFY SKIRT OF BLUE SILK MULL EASY TO MAKE. Home Dressmaker Will Find It No Hard Task to Design and Make Ready the Garment Des- cribed Below. Like a flower of spring is this fluffy skirt of blue silk mul trimmed with bias folds of blue taffeta. Every woman who can sew at all knows that a ruffled skirt is the eas- test to make. A plain foundation is gathered to a waist band and mea- sured to the length on the child; then ruffles are stitched around the skirt, the upper ruffle forming the line for those that follow. It will be well to fit the skirt lining and then rip the basting at the belt, because ruffles are more easily stitched on the lining when it is smooth. In this instance the ruffles must have the bliss folds stitched on the right side, then turned over and hemmed down on the under side. By applying the folds in this manner the stitching will not show. A mother, perhaps, is unwilling to take the trouble involved in applying these folds on scallops. The work, of course, is somewhat tedious. In such case it is a simple matter to hem the ruffles or make them of embroidery. For ordinary wear the wise mother will make this dress of wash materials which may be frequently laundered. It is to be remembered that little girls may wear china silk and sport silk as well as silk mull, but chiffons and taffetas are for the "grown-ups." The only variation from this rule is in the matter of taffeta coats, which 10 Pretty Frock for Girl. sometimes are permissible for summer use by children. Sashes, too, are not the same for children and adults. The former may wear a soft girdle of satin or crushable silk, or ribbon sashes of the kind manufactured especially for children, but it is not good taste to put on a child a grosgrain sash or any of the brocaded varieties that women wear. Hails Return of Shawls The news from the fashion world is that shawls will come back, especially the old paisley shawls that our grandmothers wore and looked so well in, in the sixties and before. It will be a refreshing sight to see the women wear shawls again. We'll bet it will make them handsomer, if it could be so, than the loose and disjointed coats they have been wearing. Why, some of these coats have been frights; and if it were not for the women themselves, they would have scared off the populace. We hope the shawl will return.⁴ But we have been wondering if the fashion will include the men in its sway. Many of our readers will remember when men wore shawls. They were indeed a luxury—so handy and warm. They were generally of a light gray color, but many men affected stripes and seemed very proud of their appearance. Our recollection is that the fashion didn't last long. The men got fidgety and returned to coats. But we hanker for our old shawl again.—Ohio State Journal. Easy to Trim Handkerchief. Everyone likes to use dainty and good-looking handkerchiefs, but they cannot be bought cheaply, and often are beyond the purse. Cheaply trimmed handkerchiefs are in very bad taste, and it is far better to use simple ones than resort to them. However, with little trouble every girl could make herself a collection of nice handkerchiefs at about half the cost of buying them. White sales should be watched for, then good line handkerchiefs can be cheaply; these usually have a lit- New Skirts of Interest. Plaited skirts showing panels of plats at front and back or at the sides accomplish the required dare without ungainly bulk. This type of skirt promises well, especially the box-plaited variety, which will be in vogue this fall. Now there is a new skirt which interests rather than pleases. It is barrel-shaped and encircles with many bands, which gives it the resemblance which occasions the name. This is slightly different from the dirt with a flare at the bottom and the wired hip. Another trimmed skirt is called the lampshade. It consists of alterate layers of taffeta puffs thinly wired and wild puffs of net or chiffon. The whole resembles most accurately the silk lampshade of days before the arts and crafts era. In the same line of pretty summer frocks are costumes made of cotton volle or organdie, trimmed with lovely girdles of silk and ribbon. Wide ribbons swathe the waistline and are sometimes used to make panniers. Sometimes two colors are twisted to form the girdle and the hemstiffened border, so are all ready for further decoration. There are various ways of trimming handkerchiefs; for those who crochet a tiny border of crochet done in very fine cotton looks sweet, or an edging of fatting; this latter is seen on some of the most expensive models in the shops. On one or two of the linen handkerchiefs a simple pattern could be traced in one corner and worked in broderie Anglalse; this looks most effective. For dainty wear handkerchiefs, buy some fine lawn by the yard and cut up into as many squares as it will allow; this is a very cheap plan and a most successful one. These squares can be trimmed with fine lace and odd bits Dainty Handkerchief. of real old lace can be used up, for the tiniest scrap will form a motif if carefully cut out and arranged in one corner of the square. Any shape will do as long as a motif is formed, such as a circlet of leaves filled in with net, a flower, etc., and other designs likely to be found in old lace. Sew these motifs on quite flat and very securely, then the lawn underneath them can be cut away; all edges must be gone over with over-and-over stitch so that all is kept neat; press well down with a moderate iron when done. Initials are always suitable for handkerchiefs, though they should not be too large; they look very nice worked with satin tattoo and surrounded with tiny French knots. A collection of a dozen handkerchiefs is thus soon made; it is interesting work for spare moments and well repays the worker for the little trouble spent. Loose Change in Safety. Stockings, originally designed to keep the nether limbs from freezing, have been since their very inception used for other purposes. Witness the original First National bank. However, stockings, have always been stockings, for there have never been any improvements made since the original ones were made sometime back in the days when man was beginning to come out of the "stone age," excepting, of course, that they are being made of a finer and more expensive texture. In the days of old, no doubt potato hags (if such things there were) were wrapped about the limbs and pinned together or held in place with the twig of a tree or tough grass. Now there are stockings of finest gossamer, and here is Miss Violet Bristow show- კონტერსია გ. კონტერსია ing the very latest anti-pickpocket, burglar-proof stocking. The pocket sewed onto the stockings is just large enough for a handkerchief and for the accommodation of the mysterious appliances usually carried by the gentler sex in vanity cases. It may also be used for holding loose change or jewelry. Milk as a Hair Lotion. Although milk is one of the most unpleasant toppings that can be placed on the head it is a hair nutrient. Warm milk used frequently as a wash will increase growth, and lessen falling. The one essential is that the treatment be accompanied by washing with soap and water at short intervals. end of a sash, while a third color is used for the knot. Smart Frocks of Serge. All during the summer smart onepiece frocks of serge have been worn by modish women. Usually such frocks were fashioned from serge and chiffon, serge and taffeta or serges and Georgette crepe. One of the smartest of the new fall serge models is of navy blue combined with soiré silk in a beautiful shade of purple. The purple silk trims the bodice and cuffs and forms a band at the lower part of the skirt, which is edged with flutings of the serge. This model shows no curve at the waist line, but hangs uncompromisingly straight as many of the new frocks do. Then there is the other extreme — frocks with honed and seamed round waists, which are likely to be too radical for all save the daring few. And in evidence also are radical bodies without seams and bones, but shaped to show the curves of the figure and fitting quite smugly at the waist line, if not definitely pinched in. MUST COVER ARMS --- None of the best winter wraps have elbow sleeves; all show the arms covered right down to the wrists. And this is an excellent idea. Last winter, when it was so much the fashion to have elbow sleeves on smart wrap-collars huge muffs were popular, and the arms could be thrust right into these muffs and so covered. But now the correct muff is quite small and barrel shape, like the curious little muffs shown in some famous portraits by Romney and Reynolds, writes the Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. Very high, full collars are still fashionable on wrap coats; high straight collars like those of last winter. But cape-collars are creeping in. Some of the latest coat models designed by Paqun and Worth showed large cape-collars which gave almost a fuchu effect. When collars of this order are introduced the only other fur trimming on the wrap takes the form of wide bands A on the sleeves. Long Russian blouses, made of soft-faced cloth and bordered with fur, will be fashionable for girls. These will be knee-length and cut almost straight from neck to hem, a wide sash of embroidered and fringed silk banding them in at the waist. The Russian-blouse-coatees are extremely becoming to slender figures, and they look most attractive when worn over ankle-length plaited skirts. Premet is one of the important dressmakers who has made the Russian blouse popular this year. She is making the loveliest indoor costumes in this style, with the long tunic blouse in crepe de chine and the skirt underneath in accordion plated satin. Rich borders of fur are introduced on the tunicies and the most costly embroideries in which silver and gold threads play an important role. An exquisite Premet model was expressed in navy blue chiffon and charmeuse in the same color. The knee-length Russian-tunic was made of the chiffon, and it was bordered all around with intricate embroideries worked in platinum threads. At the extreme edge there was a border of skunk, and the charmeuse skirt was closely plaited. An effective sash made of puce-red Indian silk was wound round the waist, a bright crimson rose being stuck into its folds. All women, and girls, will be glad to know that long straight tunics are once more fashionable. The Parisian dressmakers call these garments "chemise-tunies," and it is an excellent name, for they are really cut like a very full chemise. Everything depends on just how such tunies are worn, and how the POPULAR FALL FASHION UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD This is one of the latest models of skirts and winter hats. It is a smart little Smolini "Blue Bird" style of dark brown panne velvet, with a guinea hen set at a jaunty angle on the front of the crown. This style will be worn extensively this fall, fashion experts say, by the smart set. BAGS ARE OF EVERY KIND Infinite Variety Designed for the Use of Women During the Coming Season. In the morning women carry somewhat valuminous bags of skalskin or soft morocco in dark colors, gathered at the top or laid in soft plats. Some are also made of black patent leather with embossed ribs and brilliantly lined. Envelope purses have a very* elongated form, and are made in all colors, lined with more silk in white or creamy color. Chamots skin is dyed in every fashionable color and tint, even in the lightest shades. It is light in weight and pliable and is most satisfactory for bags. It is even used in bags with several flounces over each other. Much striped silk will be used, with a foundation bag of either more or taffeta, striped lengthwise or across. For afternoon wear the chic woman may carry a bag made of antique brocade, or a combination of Japanese embroideries and solid-colored fabrics sash—always of some strongly contrasting color—is tied. Fur trimmings are more popular than ever; for coats, dresses, hats and wraps. All the newest millinery models show effective bands of fur—somewhere. Take for example the original model which I have sketched this week. This is a Lewis design and Chinese in type. The hat itself was made of black panne, and the trimming consisted of a narrow border and, on the top, a cabochon ofermine. It was an amazingly chic model and one which should be worn pulled right down over the forehead. Big velvet tam o'-shanters are fashionable as ever, and they are universally becoming. The most comfortable models are those made on generous lines, with an invisible band of elastic to hold the cap in place on the head. These hats—and, indeed, hats and caps of all kinds—are worn pulled down over the forehead, slightly tilted over one eye. Directoire shapes in neutral-tinted felt are popular with the smartest Parisiennes. These little hats are almost always accompanied by a circular veil made of cobweb net and bordered with fine metallic embroidery. FOR COMFORT OF INVALID Bedside Pedestal One of the Greatest Conveniences That Can Well Be Devised. It is nice to have something by the side of a bed upon which a candle and a box of matches, a water bottle and tumbler, and possibly a book may be placed, but even if a small table is used for this purpose it is generally rather in the way. We give a sketch, therefore, of a useful pedestal that can be easily prepared with a packing case of the shape and size indicated, and inside it can be fitted up with shelves, and slippers and shoes, and unisightly odds and ends can be stored away in it. The lid of the case will not be required, and can be cut up for making the shelves. The sides of the box are smoothly covered with some pretty inexpensive cretonne, the material being turned over at the edge and underneath and fastened on with tacks. The top should be covered with American cloth, as it can be cleaned with Bedside Pedestal. a damp cloth. Round the sides, at the top, a short frill of cretonne is fastened on with braid and brass-headed nails, and in front there is a curtain made of some of the same cretonne, that can be lifted up when anything is required from inside the pedestal. The shelves are composed of pieces of wood cut to fit across the box and supported in their places by bars of wood nailed on, on either side, inside the box. This can be seen in the small sketch at the top on the left of the illustration. No household should be without a pedestal of this kind, as in case of sickness it is most useful for holding medicine bottles, papers, books, watchstand, etc., and its preparation costs but little. Stylis and Gymnastics With a series of highly compli- calisthesen, milady ties herself into her fur stole. You'd never know but that it was a voluminous fur wrap when she gets done winding it around the back of her neck, crossing it in front, passing it under her arms, bring- ing it back over her shoulders and shipping it through the front, crossing to hold it tight. Fur on Veils. Fur-trimmed veils are to be worn and they are extremely attractive with autumn hats. Sometimes they are edged with a single band of fur, sometimes with three narrow bands. Black Satin Stoles Black satin stoles are much worn for these between-season days. They are lined with white or colored or figured satin or silk, or with chiffon. decorated variously. They are small and trimmed with puffs and bound with gold, silver or metal. Mourning wear is usually one of the most difficult to cater to. Mourning bags are decorated with neat jet beads, sewed on in motifs and trimmed with embroidery and often with fringe. For mourning, dull leather serves. Colored beads will also be used to a certain extent, especially such as are needed for the reproduction of antique designs, either for afternoon or evening. They often represent small garlands or figures. Straps of silk or leather or light chains are attached to these bags and in some cases ribbon bows which match the silk of the bag. They are made with or without fancy tassels, but are naturally always chosen to suit the frame, made of gold, silver, steel and other metals, jet or stones. In order to put the initials of the owner on the soft chamels or silk bags, the monogram, inclosed in a ring, is suspended from the frame, made of the same metal as the mounting, and, if desired, ornamented with small precious stones.
