THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO.18. IN UNITOR THERE AS SUSTANATE Karl Armgaard Graves, the self-styled "International Spy," who is accused of attempting to blackmail the German embassy in Washington by means of certain letters which he secured. Myron T. Herrick Urges Nation- Wide Fund for War Sufferers, in Europe. Philadelphia, Penn. — Former Ambassador to France Myron T. Herrick electrified a distinguished audience of Philadelphiaians at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Stokesbury by the suggestion that the government of the United States should directly launch upon a gigantic program for the giving of aid to the sufferers in all the warring nations of Europe, the raising of an immense relief fund of a billion dollars and the co-ordination under a single committee of the leading men of the country of all kinds of relief work. He suggested the state and federal governments might even give their aid to the extent of making appropriations. He suggested the state and federal governments might even give their aid to the extent of making appropriations. "Were we to set the mark at a billion dollars," he said, "that would be little enough to meet the extraordinary demands of this worst calamity the world has ever known. It is often said the United States will have no friends when this war ends, but were we to create this gigantic charity to labor in all belligerent countries for the relief of the wounded and destitute, its beneficent work would far overshadow all the animosities which now vex us. We should have all these nations as our friends." The speech of the former ambassador was made before probably 200 men and women whose wealth ran into hundreds of millions. They were started first at the figures set by Mr. Herrick. Then they applauded to the echo. Mr. Herrick's speech was directly an appeal to the humanity of the United States and the "active neutrality" which should actuate this nation and its people in what he called the "opportunity of 10,000 years." He spoke to the assemblage preceding the first view given in this city of a series of remarkable motion pictures showing the work of the American ambulance field service and of the American aviators in France — pictures which will be placed on public view for the raising of a fund for the American ambulance in this city. Girl Breaks Cross-County Record. Binghamton, New York. — Ruth Bancroft Law broke the American cross-country, non-stop record in her attempted sunrise to sunset aeroplane flight from Chicago to New York. Driving her antiquated Curtiss through a 45-mile mile, she flew from Chicago to Hornell, a distance of 590 miles (air line) in 8 hours and 55 minutes. She thus captured the brief hours held by Victor Carlstrom, who on Nov. 2 flew from Chicago to Erie, Pa., 452 miles, in an attempt similar to that made by Miss Law. Thrice she flew straight into the face of death and didn't quiver. She landed at Hornell because she had used all the gasoline in the tanks Heavy Fire Damage Monticello, New York.—More than $300,000 damage was done by a fire which swept Roscoe village, a summer resort town on the Ontario & Western railroad. The fire started in the Furhner building in the center of the business section. Train Crash Kills 159 Laredo, Texas. — One hundred and fifty-nine persons were killed and many more or less seriously injured in a railroad wreck on the Interoceanic line to Vera Crue, between Dehesa and San Miguel, near Jalapa, on Nov. 12, according to reliable reports received here. The wreck is said to have been due to the engine running at too high a rate of speed over a dangerous part of the road. No Americans are reported among the victims. THE GAZETTE AUSTRIAN RULER STRICKEN BY DEATH Ailing for Months the Emperor Defied Doctors; Insisted on Directing Country's Affairs. Death Had Been Expected for Days; End Comes at Schornbrun; Life Filled With Tragedies; Karl Franz New Ruler. London, England.—Franz Josef of Hapsburg, emperor of Austria and Apostolic king of Hungary, who ruled the dual monarchy for 68 years, is dead. He died at Schoenbrunn castle, according to a Reuter dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam, aged 87 years. Had Stormy Reign. The stormy reign of the ruler of one of the great nations now a part of the warring Teutonic allies, which has been dogged by tragedy and marred ever and again by warfare with one nation or another, is at an end. The death of the aged emperor has been expected for days. For years he had been in failing health and his weakness increased as did the intensity of the European war. But he doggedly made an effort to take part to the last in the council of his harrassed country. Lately, however, he had been too weak. On Nov. 12 there was received here the first intimation that he could not live long. He then was reported as suffering severely from a catarral affection. Subsequent reports represented that his condition was becoming worse. Vienna, to the last, however, gave out encouraging reports. What gave some credence to the reports of his ill health was the report that the heir to the throne was to be associated with the affairs of the government beginning Dec. 2, the anniversary of Franz Josef's ascension to the throne. Last Saturday Vienna gave up all hopes of the monarch's recovery and the last sacrament of the church was administered, but despite this recognition by authorities that the end was near, Franz Josef remained out of bed until Monday. The emperor demonstrated that he was still vigorous, despite his advancing years. He would not readily acquiesce to the orders of the attending physicians, insisting on giving daily audiences. New Emperor. Aged 29 and dear in the hearts of his people, a prince of the House of Hapsburg, Archduke Karl Franz is emperor of Austria and king of Hungary. Over the throne he ascends as emperor-king is the shadow of the assassination June 28, 1914, of his uncle, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was heir to the throne but whose morganic marriage barred his children from succession. His death made Karl Franz heir. Karl Franz is a grand-nephew of Emperor Franz Josef, whose death made the young man ruler. His wife, who becomes empress-queen of Austria-Hungary, was Princess Zita of Bourbon and Parma. Archduke Karl Franz has been in command of the Austrian armies on various fronts in the last two years. Emperor Karl Franz Josef was born Aug. 17, 1887. His father was Archduke Otto Franz Josef, who died 10 years ago, and who was younger brother of Franz Ferdinand. He was brought up almost altogether under the influence and direction of the aged Emperor Franz Josef. He is the first member of the imperial house to have been educated in the public schools at Vienna, where he mixed with pupils of every class of society. GIVEN WAGE ADVANCE UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION GRANTS THIRD RAISE IN YEAR. New York City. — Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, has issued a statement in which announcement is made of another increase of wages for employees of that concern. This is the third raise since January of this year. "Ordinarily," said Mr. Gary, "the question of wages would not come up for consideration or decision at this time of the year, but in consequence of the abnormal conditions now existing it has been decided to increase the wage rate of our iron and steel companies about 10 per cent., to take effect Dec. 15. The advance affects some 250,000 employees, and adds about $22,000,000 annually to the company's payroll. Loads Ship With Christmas Trees. Chicago, Illinois. — Mrs. Barbara Schuenemann has finished loading a schooner with spruce, pine and fir in Schoolcraft county, Michigan, and is preparing to make her third trip to furnish the Christmas trees for Chicago's yuletide. Four years ago the schooner Rouse Simmons, Capt. John Shuenemann, with 20,000 Christmas trees aboard for Chicago, went down during a storm on Lake Michigan and her crew of 14 perished. After his death Mrs. Schuenemann continued the traffic. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. JAMES E. WATSON New Photograph of James E. Watson of Indiana, who has been elected United States senator, defeating Senator Thomas Taggart. Mr. Watson is a Republican and for years has been a leader of his party in Indiana. Effort to Be Made to Encourage Co-operative Organizations of Grain Raisers. Chicago, Illinois. — To head: off seven-cent-a-loaf bread by extending better marketing machinery to all grain producers in the United States. a call has been sent out from here by the National Council of Farmers' Cooperative association for a special cost finding conference to be held in Chicago Dec. 7 and 8. The organization issuing the call is made up of farrers' grain dealers' associations of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska and Kansas, numbering over 3,000 farmer corporations and representing over 300,000 growers of small grains. Their meeting will be held under the auspices of the National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits, meeting in Chicago at Hotel Sherman, Dec. 4-9. The Equity Cooperative Exchange, an other farmers' organization with a central selling agency at St. Paul, handling the grain products of 70,000 northwestern farmers, has already accepted an invitation to send a delegation. "The farmers' grain dealers' associations, under the banner of the national council, already market over half of the small grain of the United States," declared President H. W. Danforth, a large grain farmer of Washington, ill. "We hope by means of this special meeting to encourage the cooperative organization of grain farmers in all parts of the country to take the first steps toward ascertaining the necessary costs of handling grain from the country elevator through the various avenues of distribution until the product reaches the ultimate consumer. The farmers are interested primarily in the stages that cover the country elevator, the terminal market and the export facilities. If the embargo question should come up, I am certain that our farmers will be united in opposition to such a measure. We do not consider it a safe national policy. We remember the disastrous consequences that followed embargoes in the former history of our country. We believe that the trouble requires a more fundamental remedy. This remedy will concern its efficiency in the methods of producing and distributing grain. Our purpose in calling this meeting is to improve the farmers' efficiency and that will mean undoubtedly an eventual lowering of the price which the consumer has to pay." More than 2,000,000 American farmers will be represented at the fourth annual conference on marketing and farm credits it is now estimated, from reservations made and telegraphs from officers of farmers' organizations. In addition to the grain growers' delegations, the livestock interests, the whole milk producers for the large cities and the growers of orchard and garden products will be strongly represented on the program and in the delegations. Will Meet Increase Steubenville, Ohio. — President R. C. Kirl of the LaBelle Iron Works Co. this city, announces the company will meet the wage increase of the United States Steel Corporation by increasing the pay of its 3,000 employees 10 per cent, the advance to become effective Dec. 15. Jack London Is Dead Glen Ellen, California. — Jack London, noted novelist, Socialist, reformer and anthropologist, died on his ranch here. The well known author was taken seriously ill in the morning and three physicians were summoned. London showed signs of recovery during the day, but a relapse ended his brilliant career. Doctors said uremia in a severe form caused his death. London was found unconscious when a servant went to waken him. He did not regain consciousness. GERMANS KEEP UP ROUMANIAN GAIN Military Critics See Death Knell of Roumanian Army in Teutonic Rush. CERTAIN DISASTER MENACES Falkenhayn's 'Steam Roller' Pressing Foes Hard; Heavy Battle Ragging in Macedonia; Lull on West. London, England. "Near Orsova we are progressing." In this brief statement, the only reference in the German war office statement to the campaign in Roumania, even the most optimistic military critics here see the death knell of a Roumanian army of at least 50,000 which for months has firmly held its positions around the "iron gate" where the frontiers of Roumania, Servia and Hungary meet. This army, the only one of the chain of King Ferdinand's groups that has not yet yielded to Gen. Falkenhayn's "steam roller" which turned an invasion of Transylvania into an overrunning of northwest Roumania, is believed to be demeaned to certain disaster. Its last awevee of escape, westward to Cratova, is cut. The railroad to that city and Craiova itself are in Teuton hands. Falkenhayn, with an overwhelming superiority of numbers in men and guns, has sent part of his forces to dispose of the Roumanian army at Orsova, and throw the "iron gate" shut to the central powers' foes. Clouds Are Lowering. Meanwhile, equally ominous clouds are lowering down upon the remainder of Roumania's armies below the Alpine ridges of Transylvania. From Crauza, until two days ago the seat of the Roumania high command, Falkenhay has set into motion the crushing machinery of the Teuton "mut-cracker," using the same tactics which, as chief of the German general staff, he mapped out for Findenburg in western Russia, and for Mackensen in Servia. Further headway was made in the Alt valley, in which the Teutons are sweeping southward to join the troops at Crauza in the advance on Bukharest. Progress also was made on the Rothenthurm pass road, where the Rothenthurm are still battling for every inch of ground with the bitterness of men defending their native soil. To the north of Campulung, where another Romanian army group is still stubbornly holding out, and even attacking, no impression whatever was made on the lines of the Teutons who, in this region, are marking time pending the developments to the east and at Orsova. Official reports from the Macedonian front, though conflicting as regards detailed action, show clearly that a battle of the first order is imminent north of Monastir. Strongly reinforced by fresh German troops, the Bulgarians have taken up a line of battle and in powerfully intrenched positions are awaiting the new onrush of the Franco-Servian forces. That such an onrush will be launched on a large scale, with Prilpe as the main objective, is evident. Capture Four Villages. Already the two sides have come into contact north of the captured Bulgarian base. According to Paris war office, the engagements which ensued were favorable to the allies, who captured four more villages and took nearly 1,000 additional prisoners, including five German officers and 181 men. Berlin's official account of the day's fighting conflicts with this claim. It reports the capture by German guard rifles of a height east of Paralowa, 10 miles northeast of Monastir, holding it against strong allied attacks. British troops holding the allied left wing on the Struma carried out a successful raid against the town of Kujpri. The lull on the western front continues. A German raid on British trenches south of La Bassee canal was the only infantry action to be reported officially. The British war office said that 20 men were missing, and Berlin reported the capture of 20 in the raid. Artillery duels rage at various parts of the front. Expect Villa Attack El Paso, Texas. — Carranza officials on the border here say they expect Villa and his main column to attack Chihuahua City soon. Villa is reported to be between Santa Rosalia and the state capital with his command, on the main line of the Mexican Central railroad. Reports of skimishes between the Carranza forces and Villa bandits are being received daily in Juarez, occurring in the vicinity of Santa Cruz de Rosales, northwest of Santa Rosalia and near Ortiz. A number of wounded are reported to have reached Chihuahua City from the vicinity of Ortiz. No Services During War Rome, Italy, via Paris.—The death of Emperor Franz Josef has been the subject of animated discussion in Rome. The newspapers declare that German domination of Austria, both military and political, is now assured. Though the pope has sent condolences, it is not expected that the memorial service, which is usually held on the eighth day after the death of Catholic rulers, will be celebrated in the Sistine chapel until after the war. ATTORNEY A. LEE BEATTY. Legislator-elect, the Only Afro-American Member of the Ohio Assembly for the Next Two Years. Editor W. P. Dabney, of the Cincinnati Union, has made it possible for The Gazette to give this excellent portrait of the only Afro-American member of the next Ohio legislature $\textcircled{1}$ Attorney A. Lee Beaty of that city. He is credited with being one of the best young attorneys in that section of the state and a loyal and active member of the race. He was triumphantly elected Nov. 7, and it is to be regretted that he must serve in a body which will be controlled by the young man. He was a date several years ago. If memory serves us correctly, and failed of election through no fault of his, but went down with the Republican ticket of his (Hamilton) county. One thing we feel sure of and that is Mr. Beaty will make a record, in spite of the democratic handicap, our people of Ohio will be proud of, and that he will take up the work in January with the best wishes of all of Ohio's Afro-American population as well as those of many members of the other race Afro-American candidates, for similar wards, were defeated, going down with the Republican"tickets of Franklin and Cuyahua counties. WHO HE IS. The great mass of Ohio Afro-American do not know Governor-elect James M. Cox as they should. Many will readily recall the fact that he has been a congressman, has been governor and is a newspaper owner, publisher and editor, but do not know that the Ohio Board of Censors, which barred from this state the infamous "Birth of a Nation," was created while he was governor, and that two of its present three members are appointees of his; also, that he par doned the Afro-American (Peck), sent to the Ohio Penitentiary for life at hard labor about fifteen years age from Akron for assault on a little white girl, a crime that was NEVER committed by anybody, so the coroner of that county who examined the child' at the time wrote governor GOV-ELECT JAMES M. COX. after governor, Republican and Democrat, until James M. Cox became governor. The writer, with others, white and Colored, worked year after year to secure Peck's release (he had been "railroaded" to the "Pen" to quiet a community mobfeeling that had resulted in the destruction of valuable county buildings in a vain effort to get him). The writer, Judge Kohler of Akron, who sat on the trial bench with the judge in the case the day Peck had his fare of a trial (three minutes in the court room, taken there, through a lane of soldiers, from a train from Cleveland's county jail), and others made appeals in vain to Gov. Harris, (Repub), Gov. Harmon, (Dem), and other governors. But it was different when we appealed to James M. Cox, governor of the great state of Ohio, a little over three years ago. NOW DO YOU KNOW HIM BETTER? Worth While Quotation "Pleasure comes through toll and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one."—Ruskin. Very Brave. Percy William—"You need not fear tramps or rough men when you are with me, darling. I'm a champion runner, and if we were attacked I'd run off and bring help to you in no time." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. OUR CLEAR DUTY; RETRIBUTION!! A National Citizens Rights League Needed The Gazette deserves the praise and commendation of every right thinking citizen for the manly stand it took in the last campaign respecting Mr. Willis, the败 governor. When more of our leading men take a similar stand, better will it be for all concerned. The dollar is important, BUT PRINCIPLE IS MORE SO. Such sacrifice will issue in great returns, for acts like these never go unrewarded. The Gazette is the proper paper to begin a new era in politics for our race. It is to be regretted that Mr. Hughes was defeated. His defeat was at the hands of white voters and not ours. The only people loyal to the Republican party for what it is and what it has done is ours. Other races use their votes for their immediate good. Those of them who whooplest in praise of the G. O. P. do so because they have the assurance of pecuniary reward for their allegiance. These same persons insist upon our people being loyal but do not willingly divide with them the benefits of republican victory. When a mealy mite is given, it comes after much begging and bringing pressure to bear upon unwilling bosses to do their duty. The time is ripe for a change in policy. Our voters should, with the good of the country, seek their own. Their eyes should not be closed to lucrative reward. But there are greater things the whole race needs which can come through politics. This country must be taught the value of our state, Indiana, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Connecticut, Kansas, Missouri, Rhode Island, California and some others, could have been carried in the last election as our vote wished. In the future it might be wise for the Colored voter to organise as a separate entity. He should be in position to enforce some demands. Certainly it is most reasonable that he should cooperate with the republican party but if so, let the conditions be well understood. It seems to us that it is now the opportune time to organize and demand that the South be deprived of the power of our vote there which it has disfranchised. "Grandfather clauses" were designed to disfranchise Colored men of southern states, but it has never occurred to the South that it is holding a commanding position in national affairs it does not deserve. If Congress had the courage to do the right thing it would reduce the representation of the South one-half or nearly so. The same thing would be done in the electoral college. If Afro-Americans of the South have no right to vote, white men of the South have no right to enjoy the benefits of their votes which are not cast. The Republican party would to stand behind Senator Lodge when he demanded, with the "Force Bill," that Congress apply the remedy the Constitution provides in such cases. The same thing was true when an Indiana Congressman attempted to do what Senator Lodge had tried. Certainly it is an injustice to our voters of the South when they are disfranchised, and it is also an injustice to the country when a section of the country deliberately annulls a portion of the U. S. constitution (by state "laws") but insists upon having no punishment for it and instead exercises twice its power in determining the policies of the nation. Why such a state of affairs exists, due solely to the cowardice of the Republican party which refused to do the right thing when in power because it feared it would injure the "white South" and benefit the "black South." The South has scrupulously at nothing to carry its point since it has been in power. It was through politics that slavery was abolished and it must be through the same medium that slavery of the franchise must be abolished. The Colored voter should begin the fight now. If he does not, he does not deserve the ballot. The rest of the country permits the Afro-American voter to vote but it gives him very little in return for his allegiance. This too should be changed. The women of the nation are fighting for universal suffrage for women. Our people are satisfied to sit idly by and do nothing to get a benefit that all people desire. The cowardice of a few selfish men of the race in the South, who have axes to grind, has been waged there. They have counselled submission to a wrong in order that their powers might be filled under the guise of "doing the best thing for the race"—let "white folks rule the South." These same sycophants and race-traducers scathe the poison in the North. The day it passed that such rot should prevail THE LOVE OF HER HAND Give the Colored man in the South his vote if he is a citizen. Let the race organize. Every state in the Union where five hundred Colored voters vote, should be organized so as to make their votes count. There should be a national political union of our voters which should meet, outline a policy and pursue it with united and untiring zeal. All parties should be acquainted with the plans and purposes of this union. A propaganda should be set in operation whereby the complete emancipation of the race in all things political, can be accomplished. The Gazette is in position to lead. The force of our united effort in this direction can be seen in the next Congressional election. It matters very little whether Messrs. Wilson or Hughes is elected as the national legislating body (Congress) will be divided. Stagnation will be the result of the next two years. Distrust and bitterness will reign and nothing will be accomplished and nothing will be elected in 1918 will be the body not must do things. Our plan, begun now, can be made a power then. Is there enough racial unity among to strike unitedly and accomplish much? Or shall we selfishly stand apart because of petty jealousies and prejudice we have toward one another and deprive the race of its place in the council of races? When Ohio, under a republican governor proves traitor to our voters and their soldiers, it is time that something be inaugurated that will make others seek and willingly do for us at least what we are clearly entitled to. A strong united Colored vote cast as a unit for our freedom in all things will make all take notice and hear us. Locally, leaders of the race should counsel the best for their locality. But when it comes to our national rights and privileges that we must force through Congress, our voters should "stand pat" and vote as a unit with that party which will openly and rightfully promise to and do the right thing. We desire nothing wrong. We ask for no special legislation, but we do ask that our position as a part of the American Nation be just as is that of other races. What does The Gazette, and other men of vision, say to this? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. RETRIBUTION Our contributing editor, Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, has an exceptionally strong leader in this issue of The Gazette. It will bear the most careful and thoughtful reading. His suggestion of a REAL national race organization, for the purpose stated, is excellent and should be acted upon promptly by our BEST men. It is, and has been for years, a crying need of vital importance to the race. His reference to the election in the South, on last week Tuesday, reminds us that there was no legal election for electors and members of Congress in the ninth or ten states of that section that have disfranchisement / "laws." No state has the power under the U. S. constitution to so abridge the privilege of voting (for federal officials), and yet the South has done so IN EFFECT even if it has accomplished this in an unconstitutional manner. The very thing that estimated the Republican the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government and had the power to enforce the part of U. S. constitution bearing on this very thing, is the very thing that prevents Charles Evans Hughes and the leaders of the party today from even contesting President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's alleged re-election. An additional reason, of course, would be that the three co-ordinate branches of the government are now in the hands of the Democrats, southern Democrats, many of whom are exrebels. Over a million Afro-American Republicans and nearly half as many white Republicans, in the South, are illegally deprived of the privilege of voting for electors and members of Congress by the unconstitutional disfranchisement "laws" of nine or ten southern states. And the Republican party has lost the presidency, this time, because they have failed for so many years to do their clear duty in this matter. RETRIBUTION! HARRY C. SMITH. Talk to Yourself. A lawyer has in his office a motto: "Think twice before you speak; then talk to yourself." His significant comment upon it was: "If my clients followed that motto, I would lose half my business." He also remarked that the first lawyer in whose office he served taught him the important lesson to keep his mouth sealed on all occasions when not absolutely necessary to open it.—Onward. Japanese Claim Credit for Fan. Japan takes credit for the folding fan. The original kind was of the palm-leaf variety—an oval or round shape which could not be folded. But Japan conceived the idea, just when or how nobody knows, of fastening half a circle of paper on a frame made of sticks fastened together at one end—and the collapsible fan resulted.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1916. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. Gov. Frank B. Willis' St. John's A. M.E. church (this city), Sunday evening meeting, last month, did him no good, but has hurt the church and its pastor. His defeat by a plurality of about 5,000, shows that he would have been re-elected had he had the united support of our voters, this time, he had two years ago. Thousands of Afro-Americans refused to vote for him on Nov. 7, 1916. Some more retribution! C. Q. Hildebrant, the first secretary of state Ohio has had in more than thirty years who absolutely refused to appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in that office, like Gov. Willis. Willis is a sadder and wiser man these days, made so by the stinging defeat, by a small plurality, of Nov. 7, 1916. He, too, would have been re-elected if he had had our voters' united support, given him two years ago. S'more retribution! The Maschke-Davis local political combination, for whom Gov. Willis ignored the request of our local clergymen and leading men when he permitted State Oil Inspector Carr to make that obnoxious appointment last February, did not deliver the county to him (Willis), just as we warned him they would not be able to. Retribution! Next fall we will have an opportunity to "square accounts" with that local political combination. Down to defeat they will go, too! Just mark our prediction, please! Anthony Crawford, the Abbeville, S. C. Afro-American lynch-murdered recently because he defended himself from attack by a white bully, owned 500 acres of farm land worth $20,000 and had a good bank account. His five sons were ordered to leave that section of the country by a mob of 150 white "men" ("hill-billies") and given until Nov. 15 to arrange to do. The "hill-billies" want those 500 acres and are trying to compell the Crawford boys to sell quickly and thus sacrifice much. We certainly hope and pray that they will not be successful and that in some way the Crawfords will not be forced to sacrifice an acre of land or a dollar. The loss of their father is a sacrifice, to the mob-spirit of South Carolina and the South, for which God alone can mete out sufficient punishment to those guilty of committing the crime. This latter includes the authorities of a state that permits such mob demonstrations and never makes any serious efforts to stop them or punish the lynch-murders. SHOULD REPUDIATE VILLARD. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, erstwhile champion of Colored people and their rights, could not withstand the pressure, but forsock his colored wards and cleaved to Mr. Woodrow Wilson. That Mr. Villard had a right to vote for whom he pleased no one denies but he cannot expect men who implicitly believed in him to trust him now when he threw all of his energies in the scale to elect the bitterest toe of the colored race that ever occupied the White House. It was felt that Mr. Villard would never surrender to southern prejudice and cowardice but would always stand up for equality of opportunity as well as justice for all men alike regardless of race. President Wilson emphasizes the fact that he is a southern man. During his administration more lynching, murder and burning of colored people occurred than at any period in the history of this country. Against this southern savagery and butchery of the colored race, Mr. Wilson did not lift a finger nor utter a sound. It was war against that声acitility. If so he could not be sympathy with Mr. Wilson. Mr. Villard approves the policies of Mr. Wilson. Among them is the one which calls for the humiliation and segregation of the colored race. No colored man who makes a mainly fight against this policy can enter the White House but instead, is stamped impudent. Another of Mr. Wilson's policies is to drive the colored race out of every office which may have the appearance of giving it dignity and authority. Since Mr. Wilson's policies have this election he is of the caliber to believe that his policies in all things have been approved, even though he is confident of the fact that this is not the case. With Mr. Wilson, Mr. Villard has cast his lot. In doing so he has compromised his stand on the one issue that made him the idol of colored people. It is evident that Mr. Villard cannot be on amicable terms with the avowed enemy of the colored race and at the same time be true to the colored people. If he attempts such he will quickly see that he cannot. Mr. Villard has destroyed his heretofore consistent record of square-dealing and equal opportunity for every man. If Mr. Villard were not the head of the N. A. A. C. P. we would not notice his defection. This was the one organization that this country looked to as the champion of the rights and privileges of colored people. It has fought the southern barbarism and injustice. It has raised a cry of protest against wrongs that the nation has winked at. No greater calamity could have befallen the race than the election of Mr. Wilson for four more years. For this calamity to come upon them Mr. Villard worked and voted. He will stultify himself if he opposes his chief. He cannot ask colored people to confide in him as they once did. The race in this real freedom of the colored race must be a colored man. Mr. Wilson and his party have been and are the relentless of colored people. Not only in politics do they oppress them but in all matters where a man's rights are concerned. "Jim-crow" cars, segregation, grandfather, lynching, burning, robbing him of his education, despoiling him of his virtue and property—these, and more the democratic party has done and is doing. In Mr. Wilson the Democratic party finds a man of keenest sympathy and strongest beliefs in its policies. Into that party the indomitable and courageous Villard has gone. Colored men must repudiate him! He should at once withdraw from the N. A. A. C. P. Either he should withdraw, or the colored people should renounce it! We can remain friendly to Mr. Villard as a man, but politically, economically, socially and otherwise, he is our enemy for he fights from the camps of our foes. Oswald Garrison Villard has been weighed and is found wanting in those essential qualities that go to make up a true and tried leader for colored people. We hereby part with him. (REV.) WILLIAM A. BYRD. POLLARD, SEASON'S "STAR!" Brown University's Great Half.Back Credited With Both Yale and Harvard's Defeat. Pollard, left half-back of the Brown University foot-ball team, with two touch-downs and several long and brilliant rushes through Harvard's team, was the star of the game which Brown won at Cambridge, Mass., last Saturday. Desperate because of the Afro-American's 46 yard dash and later his slanting run from the 10 yard to Harvard's 20 yard line, in the third period, Harvard was penalized "unnecessary roughness." Score 20 to Saturday, Nov. 11, '16, Brown beat Yale, 21 to 6, but that does not begin to explain the situation. Brown played a most wonderful criss-cross game with the great Pollard to carry through the offensive, his brilliant comeback, and the hard-fought PUY off our feet. Apparently beaten the first half, Brown came back strong, playing about Pollard, and gave Yale the most crushing defeat of the season. In all of Brown's touchdowns, Pollard was the vital factor, his wonderful running and plunging placing the ball within reach of the goal. The wonderful halfback was the sensation of the game, as usual. Mayo Williams, right tackle, another member of the team, was the best player, stared a remarkable game and was also instrumental in causing Yale's defeat. ARE WE GUILTY? We charge white people with so many high crimes, misdemeanors, acts of oppression and repression against Colored people, that like the worm they sometimes turn and make a few charges themselves. They say for instance, "that they do not give more jobs to Colored people because of their unreliability, their laziness unless watched, and their tendency to follow the adage: 'If pleague interfees with work, why not to give them to the clan that they used to give church members the preference until they found that religion to the average Negro simply meant an opportunity to sing loud hymns, pray long prayers, make noise and give vent to emotions. They state that the throwing open of public privileges would mean that the worst class of Colored people would patronize and abuse them just as they did years ago and that Colored people, as a mass, expect recognition until they develop sufficient intellectual, moral and financial strength to make and establish classes of their own. In short, they should learn to respect each other who are worthy of respect before expecting other races to do so. Are we guilty? Are the charges true?—Cincinnati (T) Union. --- Beneath of Deep Breathing. Deep breathing is an excellent preventive against catching cold or will lead off one that has just been caught. Everybody ought to take twelve deep breaths every day and do this breathing outside or with windows wide open, be the weather cold, warm, dry, damp, clear or cloudy. Deep breathing is imperative for all suiciders, cold sufferers and chilly people. Spanish for Mouse Spanish for mouse.

ANDERSON REMEMBERED By His Co-Workers at the Republican National Committee and aquar- ment staff. New York City—The campaign staff associates of the Hon. Charles W. Anderson at Republican National Committee headquarters here, during the recent campaign, presented the campaign's logo to the public with a beautiful leather case valued at HON. CHAS. W. ANDERSON. $20, week before last. The presentation was made on the suggestion of the veteran editor, T. Thomas Fortune, who was in charge of the literary department for our newspapers during the campaign. Mr. Fortune felt that some token of appreciation of good treatment ought to be shown Mr. Anderson and made a presentation speech that was all that could be expected from one of the ablest news paper writers the race has produced to date. The following persons contributed to the fund to purchase the gift: Ralph E. Langston, Perry A. T. THOMAS FORTUNE. Howard, Jantes A. Cobb, Elizie Elmendor, dr. Bowen, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs Woodson and Harry Middleton. Mr Anderson's response to Mr. Fortune's address was most pleasing and satis factory.

Rice is one of the few food products that has not advanced in price. You can get about four pounds of rice for a quarter. A quarter's worth of rice will carry you further than 50 cents worth of beef. A quarter's worth of rice will carry you further than 50 cents worth of flour. Rice is a wholesome food. Fashion caused a reduction of the greatest food value in rice requiring it to be polished. There ought to be a law forbidding the whitening of flour and polishing of rice. The law should be so that the whole grain should be ground into flour. People would have better teeth and better digestion. But this article is about cheap food and about the business of healthy eating. Rice is the chief diet of about a third of the population of the world. The rice eating Jap whipped the filling out of the tallow and flour eating Russian. A man can go further on a rice diet than on any other single article of food. You can not want to spend all your money for feed, buy rice. If you want to have a variety in your diet, and that cheaply buy sweet potatoes. And if you want a dessert buy some molasses. Rice sweet potatoes and molasses are the main food of that are not high. Eat rice, it is healthful; and eat rice, it is cheap. Thought There Might Be More. Thought There Might Be More. Twins had arrived at the home of little John one day.

WILL FIGHT FOR EIGHT-HOUR LAW A. F. of L. Joins Brotherhoods in Battle to Widen Scope of Adamson Act. CHIEFS MEET PRESIDENT Organized Workers of the Country Pledge Themselves to Back Wil- son; Will Defy Court Dictum 'Labor is Property.' Washington, D. C. — The American Federation of Labor with its membership of more than 1,000,000 has joined forces with the four railroad brotherhoods with their 400,000 members to wage a fight to a finish, not only to uphold the Adamson eight- hour law but to enforce the eight- hour day for every employee of the rail- roads of the United States. Representatives of the brotherhoods met with President Wilson, Attn- dy General Gregory and other government officials at the White House to lay the lines for one of the greatest industrial battles the United States has ever seen. They assured the president that the organized labor of America will support him to the last ditch in the effort to make the Adamson law and the eight-hour day a fact. While the conference at the White House was in progress the delegates to the convention of the American Federation of Labor at Baltimore unanimously adopted a resolution pledging the federation to disregard and defy any injunction that may be issued which is "founded on the dictum that labor is property." Powerful Methods Foreseen. The amalgamation of the railroad brotherhoods with the American Federation of Labor and their action in making common cause with the 350,000 members of 12 other railroad men's unions leads many to the belief that the most powerful methods at the command of labor are to be brought into play in the fight. The controversy involving the future of the entire transportation business of the country overshadows all other matters to come before the approaching session of congress and during the last 24 hours the seriousness of the situation has been emphasized. Railway owners, employees, publicists, economists and representatives of commercial organizations in all parts of the United States appeared before the joint congressional committee to give official notice of their desire to be heard on matters of railway legislation ranging from government ownership to wage controversies. When the joint committee began its sessions Senator Newland said: "Force Must Settle Fight." "It is evident that the only method of settling disputes between the roads and their employees is by resort to force." This announcement attracted the utmost interest because there had been doubt whether the committee would feel disposed to go into this phase of the railroad problem. After receiving the brotherhood heads and Chairman Adamson, author of the eight-hour law, President Wilson virtually finished his message to congress in which he will recommend completion of the railway legislative program he has already outlined. These recommendations include provisions for the enlargement of the interstate commerce commission and for compulsory investigation of proposed strikes. The latter is bitterly opposed by the brotherhood leaders. Railroad executives figured only in conspicuously in activities here. Their representatives appeared before the senate interstate commerce committee and learned that their spokesmen would be heard first on the railroad problem generally next Thursday. ADMITS SINKING ARABIA SEMI-OFFICAL REPORT SAYS A GERMAN SUMBARINE SENT BOAT DOWN. Washington, D. C. — Announcement by the semi-official Overseas News agency that a German submarine sank the British Inher Arabia made a deep impression in official quarters here and apparently removed all possibility that this case might take its place with that of the Persia, sunk in the Mediterranean in some manner never cleared up. The British admirability said the Persia was torpedoed without warning, but none of the central powers would admit responsibility for it. Officials were loath to discuss the matter in the absence of official information, which it is understood is being sought from all sources. Washington, D. C. — For sale or rent."

TAKE THE EXAMINATIONS! The outcome of the Cowan-Chinn-Paxton controversy, which has been running in The Gazette for several weeks, has been the institution of a law suit on Thursday of this week by Dode. Green, representing Mrs. Jessie Cowan, former wife of C. W. Chinn, whom the rector married to a Miss Merchant on Oct. 21. It was the day following (Sunday) that Rev. Paxton is alleged to have made a harmful statement in St. Andrews E. mission pulpit, and the torney wrote Paxton on Nov. 5, to retract in her presence in the church at a regular service by Nov. 15, 1916. The answer by card saying: "I will respond to your demands," but it is said, has failed to do so to date. The result is the above mentioned suit against Paxton for $10,000 damages.

The Brooklyn Royal Giants are playing a series of ball games at San Juan, Porto, Rico, with teams of the Insular league which will extend over the greater part of this month. The Cuban Stars will also be played there. After the Porto Rico series the Brooklyn nine will go to Panama, where games will be played a period of six weeks will be played. While it was a great surprise to see Ohio go for President, Wilson, it is not very hard to find the reason. Almost any other man but Gov. Frank O'Brien has done it. The colored vote was undoubtedly an important factor in his defeat, for few had forgotten the manner in which Willis allowed the companies of the Ninth Battalion to be treated when they were sent to Columbus to act as "porters" to clean camp for the white troops. It was a sad blow, but perhaps it will be a lesson for some men who also gave-election promises. Heald The secretary of the chief of police at Cleveland, O., for many years is Charles S. Smith.

Those taking part in the discussion were Professor Jayson, Professor Craves of Missouri and Editor J. Finley Wilson. Mrs. Julia M. Layton spoke on the National Memorial association: its work and scope. Professor Vance of Missouri moved that a committee be appointed to compile the very best books, to be kept and used as supplementary literature. The motion carried. The committee consisted of Professor Vance, Doctor Dudley of North Carolina and Professor Jayson of Delaware. All officers of the congress were reelected, including J. Silas Harris of Missouri as president and Mrs. Julia Embry as recording secretary and Samuel Z. C. Westerfield, reporter. The president was given the power to fill all vacancies. Prof. H. B. Wallace of Carthage, Mo., spoke on the subject, "The Progress of the Negro Checked by Shortsightedness." Invocation was delivered by Rev. B. F. Watson, secretary of church extension A. M. E. church. Music was rendered by the junior choir of Metropolitan A. M. E. church. A declamation was given by Henrietta Victor Davis, Prof. John W. Cromwell addressed the congress. Other speakers were: Prof. F. E. Lawrence of Chester, Pa., Dr. S. B. Dudley of North Carolina and Rev. William Cabot DeBerry of North Carolina. Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training school said: "Just give a man a chance, then no matter where the man is or to what race he belongs, he will be a man looking onward and upward." Judge Robert H. Terrell of this city was introduced. He said: "I am very glad this congress met here, because this is federal territory, belonging to the thousands of people making up this cosmopolitan government. This is your city; this is the capital of the federal government; this is your capital—the black man's capital as well as the white man's capital. The federal flag floats over our republic, and it is your flag as well as the white man's flag. Of course, there is suffering by this group of ours, but all races that have made their way to the front have suffered. Victory does not come on flowery beds of ease, but through toll and suffering." Maj. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee institute, in an address at Montgomery, Ala., said the Negro should remain in the South and study his own shortcomings with a desire and aim to overcome them. He said the race needs to get rid of the lazy, shiftless Negro if it hopes to cope with the white man, and added the race has much to be thankful for in the South. Major Moton urged the Negroes to stay in the South, saying: "In New York, I understand from a letter just received from a physician, the Negroes are finding it very difficult even now to find places to stay; they are huddled together in quarters like pigs, and many of them cannot find any place, and that there is bound to be suffering this winter. "They will take colds and develop pneumonia and consumption, as well as other diseases, and either will die there or be brought home in a dying condition." Consul W. H. Hunt of St. Ettienne, France, reports that there is a possible market in his district for American-made fire extinguishers. Primitive methods are now used for fighting fires. For women's umbrellas an inventor has devised a strap to hang them from one arm and in the strap has inserted a purse for small change. A distillery will be established in Honduras for the production of alcohol from bananas in flunches too small to be exported profitably. A new baby carriage which includes receptacles for clothing can be folded to resemble a suitcase when not used for its principal purpose. According to English scientists electricity passed through timber when freshly cut makes it more resistant against decay and fungous growth. Two inventors living in Portland, Ore., have patented an egg-shipping crate so arranged that, should an egg be broken, it will not soil the others. Adverse conditions in Siefly will cause the 1916-17 lemon crop to drop to about half the average output. There is a possible market for American machinery on the sugar plantations of Natal, South Africa. Of spring metal and wire is a new device to encircle a person's foot and prevent the loss of an overshoe. In France there is a prize amount-went to the courthouse alone for the license. The Venezuelan government has decided to build a highway across the republic that will be 683 miles long. A wealthy native of India has given a fund of $5,000 a year for 15 years to aid in suppressing tuberculosis in Bombay. More than 13,000 workmen are employed in and about the mines of Arizona. Amendmentment that the National Negro Business league has started a nationwide campaign to advertise Negro business enterprises, with a view to their better support by colored people, comes at a time when they are awakening to a consciousness of increasing economic importance. Since the days of emancipation, the bulk of the race has remained in the South under economic and social conditions which have changed but slowly. The accepted basis of society has kept in the hands of the white man storekeeping and the professions, confining the Negro to tenant farming and unskilled labor. Gradually, such schools as Tuskegee, Calhoun, and a host of others have built up an ever-increasing body of men and women skilled in trades and trained to the use of initiative and independent thinking. Fully 20 years ago this force began breaking through the caste system in isolated cases, the process being stimulated by the late Booker T. Washington some fifteen years ago. The policy has been twofold, encouraging the individual pioneers by organization and educating the race out of the tradition that only the white man was qualified to engage in trade. Now that the labor shortage has forced the large employers of the country to look more to the South for unskilled and semi-skilled workers, the Negro is becoming more conscious of his importance industrially. One indirect effect should be to make the league's campaign more fruitful than if it had been launched at a less opportune time. And the movement seems to be actuated by the right point of view. "These campaigns are not organized in any spirit of antagonisms to merchants of other races," says the announcement, "but for the sole purpose of advertising the existence of the Negro merchants." "In Spite of the Handicap" is the title which James D. Corrothers, the colored poet, gives to his autobiography. Corrothers was born in southern Michigan and he confronted the problems which are the rather heavy inheritance of the Negro in the North. That they differ from those of the Negro in the South makes them no lighter. Ray Stannard Baker, another Michigan man—says in his preface: "The book throws much light on conditions with which few writers on the race question have dealt: I mean the problems which confront the abber and more intelligent Negroes, the leaders of their race, in their contact with their own people. Mr. Corrothers recognizes that the color`line is only part, however important, of the great human situation which the Negro must face. And finally it is a book singularly without rancor—the book of a man who in spite of difficulties has maintained a cheerful and helpful outlook toward life." Mr. Corrothers certainly is entitled to this tribute, writes Ella W. Feattie in the Chicago, Tribune. Bitter poverty, race prejudice, the handicap of insufficient education, the jealousy and littleness of his own people, the loss of his wife, the enmity of his bishop—for he became a clergyman—combine to make a story that would be tragic were it not for the many compensations that came to him. Men and women of distinction were good to him, the best magazines printed his poetry, and life itself wore an alluring face because of his appreciation of every opportunity that offered and the essential courage that made him push on to new adventures. One comparatively small strip of the coalfields that have been discovered in the Antarctic continent is estimated to contain as much fuel as all the unworked fields of Great Britain. In a new vacuum cleaner for cleansing clothing in public places a circular brush surrounds the nozzle to loosen the dust.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1916 MILLINERY MODES LESS FANTASTIC Season's Styles Show Improvement Over Those of the Previous Years. FELT LIKELY TO BE POPULAR Indications That Velvet Has About Had Its Day of Popularity—Russian and Arabian Suggestions Mark Headgear—Bullion Ornamentation Leads. New York—At least, there is this to be said in regard to the fashionable pose; it is the simplest that the milliners have demanded in several seasons. That rakih tilt or the succession of them that have governed millinery during the last few years were difficult beyond measure to achieve. We have gone backward farther than usual this season for an inspiration for new fashions, and the artistry and variety of the centuries that reached upward from the Norman conquest to the days of Catherine de Medici have been overhauled to make an American costume and to France, American dollars. Turning to Felt Predicted. It is highly probable that we will wear more felt as the season advances than we thought was advisable at the beginning of the season. Of course, velvet stands the season. But, once there are thousands who are wearing already of this fabric which sweeps over the continent with the thickness and pertinacity of a plague of locusts as soon as August reaches its maximum heat. At any rate, these sweeping felt hats of the musketeers are a relief from the ordinary velvet hats. This hat is quite exclusive. It is like a titted saucer. The top surface is in one piece, rising a bit in the middle. The brim leaves the head entirely after it passes the crown. The color is peacock blue, the fabric is thick satin, the ornamentation consists of peacock eyes laid flat on the satin. But there is the really odd touch, very oriental: Behind the uplifted brim at the back there extends a piece of satin folded like a turban that reaches almost to the ears and disappears there. Holding it in place and reaching across the entire back of the head is a conspicuous barette of white and ruby crystals. Here is the Persian touch, for true, and if it sounds garlish to you, wait until you see it on the right woman. It makes another hat in the afternoon seem commonplace. Hats on Eastern Lines There are also high embroidered velvet and satin hats that have been copied from native Russian costumery, also the Arabian suggestions made by Bakst. These shapes rest squarely on the head, showing not a flicker of hair except over the ears and at the extreme back, and the brim reaches out and up, coming to four points well above the A Hat of Velvet and Tulle—The Lower Part is of Black Velvet Embroidered In Gold Threads—The Crown is of Tulle, and There is an Aigrette in Front crown. Its surface is lavishly covered with barbaric embroidery in bullion threads. These are adopted by smart women for luncheon hours at restaurants as well as at private houses with a strictly tailored suit of veils, but not of serge. This fabric is relegated to second place. House frocks of it made after the manner of a twelfth-century chemise with a loose cord or girdle swung around the figure below the waist are good, but for suits or fanciful gowns that may serve in other people's houses, other fabrics take its place. Serbian caps, in brilliant Balkan colors, are taken up by women who are unafraid of wearing the strikingly unusual. These have a 'splendid tassel hanging at the side. Young girls look better in these than middle-aged women. All these hats give the effect of breadth across the head. There is no sign of a fashion that makes the head MADE TO MATCH COSTUME Umbrella is Now One of the Most Important Accessories of Woman's Dress. So important is it that the umbrella should fit in with one's costume that umbrella designers are ever offering something new. The important features of fashion are to be seen in many details of umberla construction. Among the latest models are those showing the use of striped borders on colored umbrellas. Narrow triple stripes in self and in contrasting colors are seen, as also are handsome broad satin stripes in self color backed with a black-and-white design. As a rule the stripe is placed about an inch from the edge of the umbrella. Rich plaids are used extensively to form the entire umbrella. Plaids in vivid shades are employed to form the border on a plain colored umbrella. Wood shanks still hold good. Many models, however, will be made with a rod having a heavy club end. Very often a note of color is introduced in look like a pln point. Even for motoring, women adopt the soft velvet hat that spreads out across the top and, in lieu of other ornamentation, there are rows of fancy stitchery done in tarnished silver threads. **Bullion Leads as Ornamentation.** One never gets far away in costume this season from the use of bullion. If it does not cover the evening frock or plaster itself over the surface of a velvet afternoon gown, it dribbles along on a service hat or the top of a blouse or edges the hem of an ornament collar. From Russia we took the idea of extending an enormous silver or gold embroidered ornament across the front of an upturned brim, even when the hat is a copy of the one in which David liked to paint Napoleon. Naturally there is a strong suggestion of the country and the man, but it is one that France did not care to reflect upon in the old days. That retreat from Moscow was not a bright page in French history. But in fashion there are no enmities nor friendships, except at the moment, and the icon of Moscow placed on the campaign hat of Napoleon is a juxtaposition that affronts not even the oldest inhabitant of France. There are so few other ornaments used outside those of bullion that it is not easy to turn to something new and striking. Large Hat With Bird of Paradise—The Hat Is of Brown Velvet With a Brilliant Bird of Paradise—The Collar Worn With It Is of Fresh-Colored Chiffon, Fastened at the Waist With Roses. Short ostrich feathers are used when the hat takes on a picturesque turn, but they have none of the old bravado. Their wings, otherwise their tendrils, are clipped. Cockade No. Longer Worn. The cockade that was the chief adornment last winter has disappeared. It was done to death and we needed something new. The wired bows that France liked in the summer have never appealed to the American taste, and for very good reason: the acknowledgment that none but the Parisienne knew how to carry off this seemingly simple treatment of a hat with skill. Nothing but a bow sounds so simple; whereas, the dictum should run, anything but a bow. The newest idem of the milliners is bound to reap a goodly harvest. This is the assembling of a matched group of articles that beginle the extra dollars out of the pocket. A hat, for instance, then a shopping bag, a neckpiece and sometimes spats to carry the scheme from crown to heel. Even when the collar does not match the hat in material, it is arranged to bring about complete harmony between the two, and the perceptible advantage is so apparent to a woman that she cannot refrain from accepting the miller's suggestion. (Copyright, 1989, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Seasonable Negligees. They are of soft French manner. And they feel good these brisk autumn mornings. The flannel is warm, not too heavy, and comes in unusually pretty colorings. The wrappers are simply made, some finished with scalloping, others with satin bands. Deep violet, soft lavender, pinks and blues are the shades—a woman may take her choice. White Kids Washable Much to milady's gratification, smart white kid boots, which are so fashionable today, are washable, just as the gloves she may scrub with pure white soap and warm water. Before going to bed she puts shoe trees in her boots and bathes them, and in the morning, presto, behold, they are spotless and fresh as new. For Delicate Fabrics To clean fine lingerie blouses, centerpieces and other delicate white articles, dissolve a tablespoonful of borax in a gallon of water. Put the muslins into this and let them remain for half an hour, then gently rub them out in fine white suds. the club to match the handle and the fancy border of the silk. As to the length of umbrella handles, there is no set size. For sports styles the eight-inch length is the favorite, especially when completed with loops or similar forms of decoration. For more practical use, the handle is from ten to twelve inches in length. There is a wide range of ornaments used to finish off the handles. Among them are loops, silk rings, finger rings, chains finished with balls, silk tassels and jade rings. High Effects. Tulle is very popular for trimming purposes. This is, no doubt, because of the high effects desired. The tulle can be looped and wired quite successfully to give any height one may desire. The Jersey Frock. It is popular and chic. Comes in wooden or silk. Is best liked in thearker shades. Is trimmed with fur brad and metal embroidery. SOON WON FAVOR CHEMISE FROCK IS AT HEIGHT OF ITS POPULARITY. Home Dressmaker Will Find the Design Illustrated One of the Best of the Style—Of Georgette Crepe and Velvet. The popularity of the chemise frock, which has made its debut this winter, is proved by the number of these frocks which are to be seen in all sorts Pretty Chemise Frock. of becoming variations. Here is a sketch which the girl who makes her own clothes will immediately clip for future use, and if she cannot use it herself, will pass it on to her dearest friend. It offers an opportunity for a churning combination of materials, as the panels both front and back, as well as the flowing sleeves, will be of georgette crepe, white the rest of the frock will be of velvet. Fur bands are the only trimming if you do not count the tassels which finish the ends of the narrow velvet sash. This panel idea of the crepe is not only graceful and novel, but practical for the reason that in the back it saves the velvet from the very evident marks which wrinkles when one sits into a velvet gown always leave. This frock is cut in one piece in true chemise style. It goes on over the head, the left shoulder seam being VELVET AFTERNOON GOWN VELVET AFTERNOON GOWN Copyright Deskround & Determined This striking afternoon gown of taupe velvet shows the Russian tendency in what milady considers the very last thing in modern fashion. Fawn-colored embroidery and sash of purple grosgrain ribbon. The bottom of the dress is short in front and longer at the side and back, permitting the skunk fur to fall gracefully around the ankles. FASHION PARAGRAPHS Rather heavy silver laces are much wanted for the draperies of evening gowns. Persian designs are applied on the flat petals of metal flowers for millinery uses. One of the most attractive combinations is the rock with coat of contrasting color. Some new skirts have a long tunic opening at the sides showing a different material. Bunches of tiny ostrich tips perch cunningly on the very edge of the wide-brimmed hats. So much rabbit fur is being used for trimming that the other furs might be said to be exceptions. One may have either the fitted waist or straight-line frock, and be as fashionable in one as the other. Frills Are Displaced. The frill on the blouse, which was so popular last season, has now been wholly displaced by the smooth finish, with touches of hand embroidery or beading. left open as far as the geogrette crepe sleeve and provided with snaps to give plenty of head room when the gown is slipped on. Can you think of a prettier style that is as practical as this chemise frock? It is safe to say that if a thing is good it may be talked about more than once, so it will do no harm to mention again that the Russian note is particularly strong this winter, especially in coats and suits. Indeed, to look at a representative array of coat suits one might come to the conclusion that Russian styles monopolize things. The vogue of astrakhan trimming makes the Russian coat even more pronounced, for this is a Russian fur, while the fact that the Russian cossack turban more than often tops such costume emphasizes still further the Russian style invasion. Two New Blouses. An exclusive French blouse just off the steamer has a top of white chiffon with a lower part and peplum of navy blue which will effectually hide the top of the skirt. This dark peplum is embroidered with golden dots. Another French blouse is in deep red crepe de chine embroidered with colored yarn. A wide sash of black slik is worn with this blouse. Sleeping Place for Pets. A very comfortable resting place for a small dog or a cat may be made from a strong cardboard or wooden box as shown in our sketch. An opening must be evenly cut in one end. The outside of our model is covered with good washable cretone, which is fixed on with glue or some strong adhesive and turned over the Bed for Pet Dog or Cat. ly with plain linen. A bag of the same linen is next to make to fit the bottom of box, and if this is filled with hay edges; the inside should be lined even or chaff will make a very comfortable little bed. Easy and Atractive Edge. At the crucial moment when you have a center piece or towel all finished, but the edge, you are stranded for want of a quickly worked crochet edge. Clip this description of an easy and attractive edge for future use. It will finish off a collar or a towel or a bit of lingerie or a luncheon set. Try it. Make single crochets rather closely around the entire edge to be finished, taking them over the turned-in hem of the material or just through the edge of the goods. Then chain four, skipping four of the singles, and fasten this chain of four in every fifth with a single crochet stitch. After you have gone around the edge in this manner go over the chain of four with four singles, then make two singles in next loop, turn the work, chain four, catch with single in middle of last loop, turn and work over this with four singles, fiftish the two singles in the other loop and proceed as described. You can vary this edge by making doubles instead of singles with picots on the loops, or by making the loops on the loops, or more singles or doubles to fill them. Pretty Collars and Cuffs. Nothing ornaments a gown more than pretty collars and cuffs, and both blouses and gowns can be freshened in this way. The new, long sailor collars are particularly attractive, and often form the principal trimming. An especially good-looking collar, seen the other day, was finished along the edge with mitered insertion. Above the insertion, on the material, blue dots were embroidered at regular intervals. The insertion and lawn were machine hemstitched together, which added to the collar. Another collar, made of net, was finished with a border of sheer lawn, hand-embroidered. The lawn was appliqued over the net and a tiny Armenian lace was sewed around the edge. A double collar of organde was especially pleasing. The upper collar was smaller and decorated with a little hand embroidery. The edges of both were finished with a tiny Irish crochet lace. Any of these collars could be made by the house sewer. They require very little embroidery, as a simple pattern is smarter than anything elaborate. Cuffs can be made to match any of the collars. Her suit was navy blue serge, but one hardly looked at it on account of the French blue linen blouse, with a generous jabot in front, a sailor collar and cuffs which were turned up over her coat sleeves. The point of this blue waist was that it had two-inch deep white Valenciennes lace on the edges, collar, jabot and cuffs, connected by a hemstitch. Her scarf was cross fox fur and hung over her shoulders. Her dark blue faille silk bug was beaded with blue and silver and hung over her arm by blue faille ribbons, and a little silver beaded tassel hung down from the lower edge.—New York Herald Russian Turbans Russian effects are marked in millinery at present. The Cossack turban of velvet or fur is as smart as one could wish, and becoming to a large percentage of women. A Russian embroidered motif is set at the front of the hat, and the soft crown is sometimes slightly peaked or merely high and rounded. HOMEMADE COOKER CLEVER WOMAN UTILIZES HAT- BOX FOR PURPOSE. 'Under Proper Conditions It Does the Work as Well as the Most Expensive One That Can Every one has now heard of fireless cookers and of the many delightful things they make possible, and there have been directions given as to the making of one's own cooker at home. However, it remained for Mrs. Giuseppeini Bianchi 'eisser of Turin, Italy, to discover the way to turn a cardboard hatbox into a fireless cooker. This is how it is done, according to a report in the New York Sun: Take your strongest cardboard hat box, and make sure it is neither broken nor cracked. See that the cover shuts tight. These two conditions are absolutely essential. Fill your box with either cotton wool, sawdust or hay, well packed in and perfectly dry. Make in the middle of this mass a hollow big enough to hold your caserole, covering it up with the cotton wool, sawdust or hay—cotton wool is really the best. Put whatever you want to cook into your caserole. Boil it on the fire for from ten to thirty minutes, according to the nature of your food, then put it in your hatbox, where it will cook as in the most expensive fireless cooker. Mrs. Gelsser says that you can leave it four hours without hurting the meat or stew. All the flavor is retained, for being hermetically sealed the juices are preserved. Boil the vegetables ten to fifteen minutes over the gas cooker or fire before putting into the hat box and keep them there for two hours. Potatoes should be ten minutes on fire and one hour in hat box, she thinks, and dried chestnut twenty minutes on fire and two and one-half hours in hat box. Mrs. Gelsser calculated that even with the hardest foodstuffs her system saves you from 30 to 50 per cent of firing. Food keeps hat for ten hours in the box. The idea has so taken with Turin housewives that hundreds of families are now using it. All fireless cookers on the market cost a lot of money. This one can be made by any practical woman for a few cents. Apple Batter Pudding Slice six or eight apples, not too thin, in deep earlern dish. Barely cover with water. Cover and bake half an hour. Then add this batter: One egg and yolk of another, butter size of an egg, salt, half cupful of milk, two teaspoonful, level baking powder, or scant half teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one cupful flour. Use your judgment about flour. Pour over apples and bake quickly. No sugar in the pudding. Sauce: One cupful sugar, one tablespoonful flour, butter size of walnut, a little salt, one and one-half cupfuls boiling water. Cook; then add sherry or vanilla and beaten white of one egg. Stuffed Halibut Steak Two one-inch-thick hallibut steaks, six slices of thin salt pork, one cupful of breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one teaspoonful of chopped onion and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bones from the steaks, then wash and dry them thoroughly. Lay one steak in a buttered baking pan. Mix together the breadcrumbs, butter, parsley, onion, salt and pepper. Lay this dressing on the top of the steak and over that put the other steak. Over the fish lay the salt pork. Bake for 40 minutes in a hot oven. Serve with a white sauce containing a little chopped parsley. Creamed Ham on Toast. Make six slices of nice brown toast and butter them on both sides. Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually and stir in constantly two cupfuls of scalded milk. Bring to a boiling point and season with salt and plenty of pepper. Dip the slices of toast separately in the sauce and put on a hot platter. Then add a cupful of finely chopped ham to the remainder of the sauce and pour over the toast. Garnish with parsley or cress and circles of hard-bolled eggs. Cheese Ball Salad. Mash one cream cheese, add two teaspoonfuls melted butter, one teaspoonful cream, a little paprika and five English walnut meats chopped. Mold into balls. Place on lettuce leaves. Mix two tablespoonfuls cooked salad dressing with two tablespoonfuls whipped cream. Drop in teaspoonfuls over cheese balls and dot with bar-leduc or with plain currant jelly. Dried Beef With Cream One-quarter pound smoked dried beef, thinly sliced, one cupful scandled cream and one one-half table-spoonful flour. Cover the meat with hot water, let stand ten minutes and drain. Dilute flour with enough cold water to pour easily, making a smooth paste. Add to cream and cook in a double boiler ten minutes. Add beef and reheat. Serve with mashed or baked potatoes. Wire Basket A wire basket known as a salad shaker or drainer, should be used to dry greens after they have been thoroughly washed. Leaves of lettuce often hold water after they have been thoroughly shaken. If they are not fully dry they will not hold dressing well. Steamed Barley. Wash a teacupful of pot barley in plenty of cold water and boil it slowly for a few minutes; turn it now into a jar or a pudding basin, and let it steam for six or eight hours; when it is quite tender and creamy it is ready to serve. Glove in the Tea. In serving tea, a clove placed in the tea ball will give a piquant flavor that will not be recognized, but that will be most enjoyable.
