THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO. 20. IN UNCH THE SUCCESS BUKHAREST FALLS TO GERMAN ARMIES Victors Gain 50,000 Square Miles of Territory in Southern Roumania. TEUTONS MAY TRAP BIG ARMY Success of Campaign Due to Falkenhayn and Mackenson's Tactics; Petrograd Claims Gains in Carpathians. Amsterdam. — The Germans have captured Bukharest, capital of Roumania, according to the official statement from Berlin. Ploechtl, the important railway junction town, 36-miles northwest of Bukharest, also has been taken. The capture of Ploechtl, on the main railway line running north from Bukharest, cuts the main railway line of retreat for the Roumanian armies operating in the Bukharest region. The official statement does not indicate whether the entry of the Teutonic forces into Bukharest and Ploechtl was simultaneous. Many military observers looked for the Roumanians not to attempt a defense of the capital to the last, expecting an evacuation in time to save the forces defending it by a withdrawal on the railway route remaining to them. Conquest Completed. The taking of Bukharest virtually completes the conquest by the Teutonic forces of the southern section of the Roumanian kingdom, embracing territory of more than 50,000 square miles. It marks the culmination of an operation accounted by military commentators one of the most soundly conceived and brilliantly executed strategical feats of the great war. From the hour when Field Marshal Von Mackensen forced a crossing of the Danube and Nov. 24 set foot on Roumanian soil, effecting a junction shortly afterward with Gen. Von Falkenhayn's armies, driving through Wallachia from the west, there seemed little doubt of the ultimate fate of the Roumanian capital. In entering Bukharest the armies of the central powers have taken their fourth entente capital. Early in the war King Albert and the Belgian government, were forced out of Brussels, and last year King Peter of Serbia and King Nicholas of Montenegro were successively compelled to give up their capitals to the Teutonic invaders. Now the process has been repeated in the case of King Ferdinand. Russ Continue Attacks. Despite Bukharest's fall, as announced by Berlin, Russians are continuing their desperate massed attacks against the Teutons in the Carpathian forests. Petrograd claims the capture of a height west of Jablonitz. Berlin, declaring the latest Russian attacks in this sector brought them no gains, admits later the Teutons second line positions were reached at one point. Further progress has been made by the Franco-Serbian forces on the Macedonian front, the French war office announced. A violent artillery engagement is in progress north of Monastir. Berlin tells a different story. Bulgarian troops on the Macedonian front succeeded in driving out Serbian forces who had entered a portion of a Bulgarian position east of the Cerna, the war office announced. WARANDLABORREPORTS BAKER AND WILSON TELL OF ACTIVITIES OF THEIR DEPARTMENTS. Washington, D. C.—The reports of the secretaries of war and labor have just been made public. Establishment throughout the country of preparatory schools to fit youth for the military academy at West Point and the naval academy at Annapolis is the most far reaching innovation recommended by Secretary of War Baker. The two subjects which Secretary Wilson's report for the department of labor principally emphasizes are mediation in labor controversies and employment opportunities. Many notable instances of mediation are described and some remarkable results are reported. Charged With Horstestealing. Tiffin, Ohio. — George Vancorter, aged 10, giving his residence as Lancaster, was arrested in Republic, east of here, and has been charged with stealing a horse and buggy in Tiffin. He was brought to the Tiffin jail. He says he was recently paroled from the Boys' Industrial school at Lancaster. Display of Automobile Accessories. Cleveland, Ohio. — The best indication of the astounding growth of the automobile industry is to be given the week of Jan. 1 to 6, when the National Association of Automobile Accessory Manufacturers and Jobbers hold their first exclusive exhibit of automobile accessories in the Dreamland auditorium in Cleveland. The exhibitors will vie with each other in uniqueness of display of spark plugs, new kinds of fighting devices, starters that are guaranteed to start under all conditions, bumpers and what-not. CHARLES J. VOPICKA S. Charles J. V. Voplicka. American minister to Roumania, cabled the state department that he would remain in Bukharke destined to imminence of its capture by the Germans. REPORT VILLA KILLED AMERICANS, STOLE GIRL El Paso, Texas.—Government agents stationed here sent a report to Washington saying Carlos Ketelsen, German vice consul at Chihuahua City; Charles Elmendorf, an American citizen and another unknown American have been killed by Villa and that Elmendorf's yong daughter had been carried off to the mountains by Villa bandits. The report was said to have been obtained from Juarez. It was contradicted by Gen. Trevino, commanding Carranza forces who reoccupied the capital, who asserted that "only a few Chinese were killed during the time Villa occupied the city." German Consul Max Weber at Juarez said he had heard the report that Mr. Ketelsen and Charles Elmendorf had been killed but had received no confirmation. He sent a message to Chihuahua City to get the facts. All of Gen. Murgula's forces have entered Chihuahua City and Gen. Trevino's forces are also back in the capital, making a total of approximately 12,000 troops there now, according to a dispatch from Chihuahua City. Gen. Murgula has sent his cavalry in pursuit of Villa's forces to the west. Gen. Murgula has assumed command of the troops. Washington, D. C. — Fears aroused by unofficial messages from Mexico that two Americans and other foreigners, including the German vice consul, Carlos Ketelson, had been slain by Villa bandits in Chihuahua City were relieved by dispatches to the state department stating that all foreigners were safe. CHARGE PLOTTERS BLEW UP VESSELS CHARGE PLOTTERS BLEW UP VESSELS Russians Say Bombs Placed in Munitions Cargoes at Brooklyn Cause of Explosion. New York City. — The steamships blown up in the Russian harbor of Archangel several weeks ago, with the loss of millions of dollars in mutilations and other war supplies, were destroyed by bombs placed in the cargoes of the ships at the piers of the Bush Terminal Co. in this city, it was charged at police headquarters by the commercial agent here of the imperial Russian embassy. According to the Russian representative, C. I. Nedzikhovsky, the bombs were planted to hide evidences of extensive thefts in this country from the cargoes. Samuel Gatter, a Brooklyn junk dealer, has been arrested in connection with the case. The police allege that Gatter had in his possession binoculars which had been identified as part of a $12,000 shipment consigned to the Russian government by a Rochester (N. Y.) firm. According to the official report of the explosion from Petrograd, 341 persons were killed and 667 hurt. Canada Pays Heavy War Toll. Ottawa, Ontario. — The average of Canadian casualties for the last six months is about on a par with the enlistment of recruits for overseas service. For the six months from June to November, casualties number 45,565, while the casualties since the active participation of Canadian troops in the war were 65,680. Of this total, 10, 853 were killed in action, 3,825 died of wounds, 526 died of sickness, 1,072 were presumed dead, 47,187 were wounded and 2,707 missing.

CONGRESS BEGINS WINTER SESSION Is Confronted With Problems of Vast Importance; Legislators Start Drive Against Time. FAST WORK WILL BE NEEDED Recurring Crisis in Railroad Labor Situation Must Be Met; Legislation Demanded to Protect Nation's Foreign Trade. Washington, D. C.—Monday marked the beginning of the end of the 64th congress — an epoch-making national legislative body. With only three months of its life remaining, the congress at noon opened its final session, confronted with domestic and foreign legislative problems of vast moment. In the legislative program laid down by President Wilson for the "share session" which ends March 4, time will be the essence of the contract. From the first fall, of the gavels in the house and senate the national legislators began a fight against time and a drive for speed. With Democratic control of the house in the 65th congress a matter of grave doubt, the administration is prepared to make every effort to put through its important measure with in the next three months. Despite the declaration of the house and senate leaders that the short session will barely have time to do the routine business of providing funds for the next fiscal year, the congress is confronted with demands for action along many general legislative lines. Legislation must be passed, it is felt, to meet the recurring crisis in the railroad' labor situation. It has become apparent that the eight-hour law passed in the closing hours of the last session merely postponed the struggle between the railroads and their operating employees. With the constitutionality of the eight-hour law under attack in the courts, and the brotherhoods threatening a general strike unless the eight-hour day becomes effective Jan. 1, congress will be forced to act at once, without awaiting the results of the investigations The administration plans for extending American foreign trade and equipping American expert commerce for the world trade war that will follow the settlement of the European conflict call for extensive legislation. The start on this program has already been made. The house at the last session passed the Webb bill exempting from the operations of the anti-trust laws combinations of American merchants and manufacturers formed for the sole purpose of engaging in the foreign trade. This measure failed to pass the senate, but will be taken up in the upper house at once. Despite strenuous opposition, the bill is expected to become a law. The administration, through the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, and the federal trade commission, plans a general foreign trade legislative program supplemental to the Webb law, which will demand lengthy consideration. Other Matters Pending. President Wilson's demand for conservation legislation, presented to the congress a year ago, has not yet been satisfied, and work on the conservation program must be continued. The elaborate revision of the general dam act; liberalizing conditions under which water power may be developed on navigable rivers and other waterways under federal jurisdiction, is in dispute between the two houses. An elaborate bill, closely restricting the use of funds and providing complete publicity of contributions and expenditures by all committees and individuals connected with elections, for president, vice president, senators and representatives, was passed by the house during the last session. The measure has the indorsement of the president, and an effort will be made to put it through the senate. The hosts of woman suffrage advocates have returned to their attack on congress and announced their intention of continuing their fight for an amendment to the national constitution granting nation-wide suffrage to women. Routine business, the big appropriation bills—which must be disposed of before March 4—rather than general legislation, worries the house leaders. Three new senators appeared in the gathering which faced Vice President Marshall. They were James E. Watson, Republican, of Indiana, succeeding Thomas Taggart, who served in the last session as appointed successor to the late Senator Shively; B. M. Fernald of Maine, Republican, who takes the seat made vacant by the death of Senator Burleigh, and W. F. Kirby of Arkansas, who fills the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Clarke. Albany, N. Y.—Gov. Charles S. Whitman has commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence of Charles F. Stielow, Orleans county farm hand, convicted of murder in the first degree, in connection with the slaying of his employer, Charles A. Phelps, and the latter's housekeeper. The governor has reprieved Stielow three times, once as he was about to be put to death, and a supreme court order held up the execution again as Stielow was being prepared for the electric chair. POLLARD WHO BEAT HARVARD and YALE THE SOLID SOUTH Re-Elected President Woodrow Wilson. What Is Meant by "The Solid South" and What the Republican Party Must Do to "Come Back." Since Mr. Hughes has conceded the election of Mr. Wilson it is time to discuss how it happened. Among many things, the solid South is one of the chief reasons why Mr. Wilson was reelected. Few people realize what the solid South means. First; it means that electorates of the Union have decided that they will only support one political party under any and all conditions; that they will have uniform laws respecting the franchise and these laws will govern the South even though they nullify the federal Constitution. Second; that they will not only deprive the colored race of participation in national or state election with impunity but they will demand the counting of the colored voters' vote when it comes to establishing the representation of these states in Congress and the electoral college. Third; that they will depend upon violence, intimidation and the general cowardice of its great opponent (the North) to keep the representation they desire. Fourth; that these states will be a unit in keeping alive certain prejudices and racial hatred so that a uniform sentiment will pervade all of them and they in turn will do what they can to convert the rest of the country to their way of thinking. By the above mentioned policy every democratic presidential candidate goes into a Presidential election campaign with these electoral votes unquestionably in his columns, regardless of the issue. Any division of opinion in the rest of the states will easily make the democrat the winner. This was Mr. Wilson's chief asset. The Republican party is responsible for this state of affairs. It had the government for fifty years and was in a position to see to it that no part of the country nullified the Constitution. Because this nullification bore hardest upon colored people nothing was done to correct this gigantic wrong. The South is a fixed asset in the democratic party. It is opposed to anything the Republican party espouses even though it be the best for the nation. Remember this solid South was formerly the solid slave-holding states. Every one of them fought savagely, to retain slavery. As savagely they are now fighting to maintain the political slavery of the colored man. Just as the rest of the country winked at slavery till its stench aroused the nation, so will the stench of political bondage arouse the nation and the South will again lose in its unjust fight. Can the Republican party come back? Has it lost its fundamental principle $\rightarrow$ justice and liberty to all? Has a righteous God rejected this party because, it refused to stand up for the liberty of the lowliest and surrendered to an unfounded prejudice which has resulted in making America the most lawless and brutal coun- --- Durham, N. C. - Educators from twenty states met here recently as the guests of the National Training school, of which Dr. Jas. E. Shepard is president, to study and perfect plans for the betterment of the educational system in our schools. An elaborate program was carried out Men like Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of the Freedman's Aid society, Cincinnati; Dr. R. E. Jones, editor the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, New York City; Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham, N. C.; Pres. J. B. Rendell, Lincoln University, Pennsylvania; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Gannon Thological seminar, Atlanta; Pres. W. L. Poteat, Wake Forest college, North Carolina; Prof. J. E. Spingarn, Amenia, Newport; Prof. N. C. Newbold, superintendent rural schools, North Carolina; Pres. W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce University, Ohio; Dr. W. Y. Chapman, Newark, N. J.; Pres. J. C. Hale, State Normal school, Nashville; Dr. H. Kearns, Normal and industrial school, Cowpens, S. C., and many other distinguished educators discussed the subjects of duplication in schools and school work, study of rural schools, teachers' training schools, the place of religion in modern schools, and the standard of universities, colleges, and normal schools. It was one of the greatest gatherings of educators ever held for our people in the United States. It is the beginning of the revolutionizing of their educational system. The commission appointed consists of Dr. DuBois, Pres. Shepard, Pres. J. B. Rendell, Pres. J. A. Griffin, High Point Normal school, Pres. J. A. Cotton, Henderson, N. C., Normal school, Pres. Scarborough, and Pres.-Hale, which will meet early in 1917, in Pennsylvania or New York, to perfect plans. Mound Bayou, Miss., Dec. 4, 1916. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith: It gives me much pleasure to hand you herewith my check for $1.50 in payment of my sub script (renewal) to November 15 1917. I should not like to be without your good paper. The Gazette is indicted to its esteemed contemporary. The Detroit Leader, W. P. Keap, editor and prophetor, for the splendid group-portrait given above. "Fritz" Pollard, as his collegemates affectionately call him, has made himself so well known by his really remarkable playing against the Yale and Harvard University football teams, this fall, that little need be try in the world, Russia not excepted. As a result of its departing from that which gave it power and victory in the sixties, the conquered has become the conqueror and now the South serpiles at nothing to rivet its ad vantage upon the whole country "The southern rebel is in the sad dye" and the country is feeling his hand. Eternal justice records against the foul betrayal of the colored man by this nation. The Republican party was and is the receiver of his strength and influence. In the North the colored man gets for his allegiance broken promises. In the South, distranchion and the shot-gun. His beloved party gave him over to his enemy there, so that now he is almost beyond aid. As a result the Republican party is routed with discordant notes in almost every state and bitter jealousies are ranking in many bosoms. Defeat stares at every turn. This party can come back if it again takes up the burden of the oppressed and fearlessly fights, for god will be on its side. The one thing necessary for the Republican party to win is its uncompromising stand for the re-enfranchisement of the colored voter in the South. This issue will win. The moment the colored race is re-enfranchised, that moment the great American crime will be atoned for and every portion of the country will be in position to hear the policies of all parties. The South may hypocritically put away saloons and run but it will never put away barbarism until it learns to respect the rights of man-allie regardless of his race. To bring about this, the solid South must be broken up, politically. The fight for 1820 will be for the franchise for all men allie. Men will be asked to take their stand. This may be called social legislation. This is what we want. There must be a conscience in our politics. Woodrow Wilson received with happiness the murdered franchise of the colored voter in the electoral college but he was too cowardly to insist upon the South giving this representation to the colored voter so that at the polls his wishes might be registered. The plain duty of every newspaper that believes in a square deal is, to fight for the restoration of the ballot to every American citizen. Had the Republican party followed Mr. Lodge in his attempts to apply the Constitution by cutting down the representation of the South in congress and the electoral college because of its unjust laws with-holding the franchise from colored people and thousands of white Republicans, there would not be in the white house today a Woodrow Wilson. The Constitution is very explicit on this issue. But the Republican party gave away to Ben Tillman of South Carolina and Hoke Smith of Georgia, and a million and a half citizens were left to the mercy of its implacable political foe—southern democracy. It SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. said here. Then too The Gazette has published, recently, accounts of his wonderful work in the games mentioned. Pollard is selected by nearly all authorities as a member of the "All-American" football team for the season of 1916. A great honor in itself and sterling recognition of his ability to play the game as few have ever been able to. will be difficult for the party to come back without the aid of our people. The colored race will be less than a race if it does not take this psychological moment to obtain its long-sought blessing. Who will join us in our cruse to awaken the American nation again so that our second freedom may be made sure? Let us break up the solid South and do justice to the American nation as well as to our race. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. THE GREAT GATHERING Of Educators Results in the Appointment of a Commission to Study Negro Education. A LEADING NEGRO BANKER. Yours truly, Charles Banks. THE EDITOR Introducing the Contributing Editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette—So Very Many of Our Readers Have Asked "Who Is He"? dr. Byrd's strong and "healthy" communications to The Gazette, during the year, have attracted the attention of the thoughtful of our people, as well as many of other classes or races in this country, because they "strike home" and preach the doctrine of loyalty to race, manhood and womanhood, and aggressive action along moral, educational, financial and citizens rights' lines. He is a fearless, outspoken and exceptionally able writer, a leader in the racial uplift movement and as loyal a member of this race of ours as can be found. Moreover he is an experienced newspaper writer, having edited for months one of the best race papers New York state can boast of to date. Dr. Byrd is pastor of Trinity Presbyterian church, Rochester, N. Y., for many years the home of the greatest "Negro" who has lived in this country—the Hon. Frederick Douglass, and is undoubtedly, even at this late day, affected by the Douglass "atmosphere and influence." They are in evidence in his communications on the race to The Gazette, and in all of his newspaper and magazine productions we have read in the past. He is "a live wire" doing invaluable work along race lines. Recently he completed one of the most unique churches in his state, installing an organ that cannot be duplicated for $3,500. is president of the Afro-American Presbyterian Council which represents, our people of the North, and is the man who made the fight that means the recognition by the Presbyterian Church of the equality of our men in every sphere of the Church with those of all other classes or races. Because of the presence of President Hibben of Prineeton University and President I. Ross Stephenson of Princeton Theological Seminary. Dr. Byrd was chosen to preside in Princeton and also to preach the opening sermon at a meeting of the Council. It was his splendid conduct of affairs on this occasion that has resulted in his being freely spoken of as the permanent president of the organization. Rev. James A. Worden, D. D., venerable father of the Sunday School work of the Presbyterian Church, writes: "I consider Dr. Byrd the formest Colored Presbyterian in America" and Dr. Dixon, Venerable Secretary of the Home Board of that Church in the U. S. A., says: "I consider Dr. Byrd the peer of any man in the church on the floor of the Assembly and is a fighter without a peer." SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year.....$1.50.

Two states in the Union, Illinois and New Hampshire, have laws requiring the commonwealth to pay damages to the dependents of a man who is lynched—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. Our esteemed conferee is wrong in part. The two states that have such laws are Ohio and Illinois, the latter's being largely a copy of the Mob Violence law of this state which the writer secured the enactment of when a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1896. It is the original law of the kind for this country and an effective Anti-Lynching law, too! HATS OFF TO "THE GAZETTE." The Cleveland Gazette is due and is receiving the praises of the race press for its manly stand against Gov. Will, of Ohio. Altho it supported Hughes and Fairbanks and the rest of the Republican ticket, The Gazette refused to support another term. Another term. The reasons given by The Gazette were righteous, but many of our editors would have forgotten those reasons if offered such "fat" advertising contracts as The Gazette refused. Manliness and racial independence, we are ashamed to say, are so rare that we must take off our hats The Gazette for the spirit shown in this matter. — Louisville (KY). News. Thank you, dear conferee, for the kindly expressions. The praise, we desire to go to the more than seven thousand loyal Afro-American voters of the state who had the manhood, courage, race and self respect to cross Willis' and Secretary of State Hildebrandt's names from their tickets. God knows we are PROUD of them! As we have repeatedly said, ever since last February when we began our fight on Willis for so insulting and mistreating our people of this state, it is the only way we are ever going to make individuals and parties respect us as a people and show proper regard for OUR party rights and privileges. Willis and Hildebrant would have been triumphantly re-elected on Nov. 17, 16 if they had received the united support our voters gave them two years ago. Willis' opponent's plurality was about five thousand. THE SOUTHERN OLIGARCHY A correspondent from Virginia to The New York Sun states that Virginia has disfranchised 180,000 illiterate white men and 150,000 illiterate colored men—a total of 330,000 American citizens. But the state of Virginia insists that it should have the representation of these men in the electoral college and in the lower house of congress. Their contention is directly opposed to the expressed statutes of the Constitution of the U. S. Had this correspondent been honest he would have added, these 180,000 illiterate white men can vote, the Grandfather Clause protecting them, but in order to make their ballots or vote of no account we place at the polls men who are without honor who before-hand have sworn to return the election in accord with the wishes of the Oligarchy. What is being done in Virginia is being done in every southern state. The Solid South means an organized method with uniform plans to abrogate any portion of the Constitution which is obnoxious to a set of politicians in the south. Why the Solid South remains intact is due to the fact that all persons who may endanger the solidarity of the south are kept from voting or their votes are so manipulated that they do not count. President Wilson belongs to this Oligarchy. It is an unlawful combination in politics to thwart the will of the nation. Our assertion respecting the President is borne out when it is remembered that certain Oklahoma politicians were found guilty of corrupt practice by preventing colored men from voting. These men were sentenced by the federal court, but as soon as the President, Mr. Wilson could get an opportunity he freed the men, thereby unmistakably allying himself with the corrupt and unlawful interference with the ballot of the citizens of this country. Mr. Wilson knowingly profited by the illegal Southern laws and cried out fraud when he thought northern states would follow the example of the south. For the next four years the country may expect that southern destroyers of the franchise and violators of the constitution, which Mr. Wilson promised to uphold, will receive immunity from punishment unless Mr. Wilson takes a change of heart. What the colored race should remember is that the Republican party had the opportunity to safeguard their franchise in the South but would not because it was thought southern white civilization would suffer if the colored people received their rights under the constitution. When the Republican party party acquiesced in this wrong, it did not dream that the South would do to the whole nation as it did to the black people. The Republican party felt that the white voters of the South would always exercise its constitutional rights. In this it was wrong. When the Democratic party destroyed the Negro vote and received the Republican sanction, it was emboldened to destroy any class of "white voters" who might stand in the way of their unlawful designs. Hence the practical destruction of the ballot in the South. A representative government does not exist in the solid South. The Tillmans, Hoke Smith, Vardamans, Hefkins and their kind, fear nothing in their kind is in complete control now, both in the Solid South and the federal government. We voted for Mr. Hughes and we regret he was not elected, but it is a warning to the Republican party which has forsaken the principle which called it into being; social justice. It was the slavery that made the Republican party the idol of this nation. The gradual forsaking of the principle that made it is the cause of the internal dissension and the external defeat. The south is laying it on. The South has driven every Republican possibility of success out of the South. The disaffection in the west and other states like Ohio, Kansas and a national renders the party, as a national very weak. The ONE ISSUE that will keep it before the American people, is the enforcement of every article of the national Constitution. We make bold to say that the most inefficient and savage government that this country has seen or had, is the government of this Southern Oligarchy which has legalized murder, lynching, ballot-box tampering, intimidation and fraud. However ignorant the colored voter may be, he have not done worse than the Tillmans, Vardamans, Bleases and Hoke Smiths. They should be fought! Democratic Ohio should protest against such company it finds itself in and speedily reform it or get out of it "Bleeding Kansas" should cover its face in shame or demand a changed democracy. Has the country lost its sense of justice, or has it become benumbed by reason of the Wilson brand of resistance which means loud speech and speedy retraction or action? The level-headed colored men of this country cannot afford to miss this opportunity of presenting to the world its cause. Oh! for an intrepid Frederick Douglass who will fight fearlessly this second form of slavery which is not only cursing the colored race but injuring the whole country. The South voted its slaves before the sixties and since the seventies has disfranchised the colored race as well as the whites that stood in its way and is now voting them. Shall it continue to do so or will the real men of this country regardless of politics and party put it down just as was done in the case of slavery? (REV.) W. A. BYRD.

It has been ascertained that the plant Datura alba, which grows wild in abundance in almost every part of the Philippine islands, contains a large amount of atropine, now currently obtained for the drug trade from Atropa Belladonna L., a plant of the temperate zone. Chemists say alba also contains in addition to atropine, hyoscyamine, an alkaloid now employed in producing "twilight sleep."

SECRETARY LANE SAYS PUBLIC LANDS GO FAST Development of Alaska Is Expected; Indians Who Show Progress Made Citizens. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Lane, in his annual report, directs' attention to the fact that the pioneer spirit has not died out in the people of this country. While the volume of public land is decreasing until now it is almost down to 250,000,000 acres in the United States, much of which is in the arid region, the entries of public land are increasing. This year nearly 20,000,000 acres of Uclem Sam's domain were taken up, as against 17,000,000 each for the preceding two years, 16,000,000 for 1913 and 15,000,000 for 1912. The problem is no longer one of getting the people on to the land but of getting land for the people who wish it, and ways must be found by which land can be irrigated either from the waters that flow underneath it or from the waters that now go to waste flowing to the sea. The agricultural possibilities of Alaska are still a matter of conjecture, although it is known that in the Tahana valley and in other portions the hardier cereals and vegetables will grow. With the completion of the railroad which is now being constructed from Seward to Fairbanks there promises to be a considerable movement within Alaska to make that country an asset which the government should further by undertaking a broad plan of promotion based upon the knowledge already gained as to what can be done there in the way of farming. One feature of the work among the Indians during the past year has been the effort to discover the Indians who were competent through a system of competency commissions composed of men of long experience among the Indians. A commission consists of three men, who go through a reservation from house to house, making personal studies of the character of the Indians and their progress. Out of those so inspected the commission makes report to the secretary of the interior of those who are in its judgment fitted to take on the responsibilities of citizenship by being released from the paternalistic care of the Indian bureau. Approximately $160,000,000 was paid in pensions during the last year. A bureau of education is conducting a campaign for the education of adult immigration and for better schools. The reclamation service carried on construction work on 24 irrigation projects, bringing 10 projects or units thereof to completion and added a quarter of a million acres to the area on the government work for which irrigation water is available. Two new national parks were added to those already under this department, one in Hawaii, and the other the Lassen Volcanic National park in northern California. At last, after several years of agitation, a national park service has been created under which all of the parks will be controlled, as well as many of the national monuments. Of the latter two new ones were created during the year—the Capulin mountain in northeastern New Mexico and the Sieur de Monts on Mount Desert island, Maine. An appropriation of $50,000 was obtained from congress for the purchase of the private holdings of Sequoia lands in the Sequoia National park. These are in the famous giant forest. Burglars Drug Family. Lima, O.-E. A. Wilson, aged 40, barber, and his family of eight were found unconscious in their home by neighbors. Burglarls had opened a rear window, sprinkled chloroform about and then robbed the house. A diamond ring was overlooked by the burglarls, who got $27.78 in cash. AH the victims will recover, though they are seriously ill. Neighbors who opened the door were almost overcome by fumes and notified police, who found the members of the family in bed.

Expires at Tarrytown Home Following Week's Fight for Life. WAS NOTED FINANCIER He Was Close Associate of John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil Co.; One Time Clerked in Country Store at Salem, O. Tarrytown, New York. — A noted figure in the world's petroleum industry was removed when John Dustin Archbold, capitalist, president of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and officer or director in various other enterprises, died at his home here after a week's illness subsequent to an operation for appendicitis. Death came at 4 o'clock in the morning. For some hours the patient had been unable to receive proper nourishment and members of his family recognized that the end was fast approaching. An Aggressive Fighter An Aggressive Fighter. Archbold was identified almost as closely with the Standard Oil Co. as is John D. Rockefeller. Of the first nine trustees of the "trust" formed in 1882 he alone remained in this capacity until its dissolution in 1911 and the order of the United States president, and it he who was named to engineer the dissolution, after which he became president and director of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. He was the most aggressive fighter in the oil combine, and invariably represented the trust on the witness stand in the numerous hearings in connection with the government's suit to dissolve the combine. This publicity was still further heightened by the publication of a score or more of letters from Archbold to Joseph B. Foraker, then senator from Ohio, Representative Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania, and other statesmen, showing that large sums of money had been distributed for the alleged purpose of influencing favorable legislation at Washington. Archbold considered them as attorney fees. The publication of these letters exposed Archbold to attack from every quarter. Born in Ohio. Archbold was born at Leesburg, O., July 26, 1848. He was working at Salem, O., in a country store, when he heard of the wonderful oil regions in western Pennsylvania, where men were becoming rich over night. In 1864 he went to the oil fields and became a refiner and buyer at Titusville. He became the agent of a new company, the Acme Co., which proved to be an offshoot of the Rockefeller interests, and from that time, in 1875, until his death he was an associate of the Rockefellers.

King George has accepted the resignation. Immediately after Mr. Asquith left the palace the king summoned Andrew Bonar Law, Unionist leader, and offered him the prime minister's commission, which he had just accepted from Mr. Asquith's hands. No announcement regarding Bonar Law's decision has yet been made, and there are some doubts whether he will accept the heavy responsibility. If he declines, it is considered certain that the honor will fall to David Lloyd George. The continuation of the coalition cabinet with some changes in its membership and the speeding up of the war management will be the policy in either event. The resignation of the premier brings a solution to the British government crisis that was regarded by nearly everyone as the most unlikely outcome. The premier's decision to resign and advise the king to summon Andrew Bonar Law to form a cabinet was taken after a day of extraordinary P FORD'S ROYAL WHITE SKIN LOTION MAKES THE SKIN LOOK WHITER AS SOON AS IT IS PUT ON, EXCELLENT FOR PIMPLES, ROUGH SKIN AND LOCAL SKIN MISCASES PRICE 25.90 BOTTLE FORD'S PATENT TWO PIECE SHAMPOO AND HAIR STRAIGHTENING COMB NO. 023.

They are the First regiment, Cincinnati, the Seventh, Marietta, and the Ninth battalion, composed entirely of Negroes. Colonel George W. McLethan has ruled that all militia not in federal uniform must be disbanded under the terms of the new Hay army reorganization act not later than November 30, or, falling, will automatically be cut off from federal aid. No notice has yet been received that the three organizations have complied with the Hay act's provisions." Under big headlines—'Gambling is again wide open: Sprosty, Safety Director, Says: 'There's No Gambling in Cleveland'—His Famous Order 73 Is still on Police Books—This Order Forbids Police Raiding Gambling Dens Without Sprosty's O.K Regardless of How Brazeny Gamblers Operate, the Cleveland Judicial Department published the following and much more: 'Police order No. 73 is still on the books. By virtue of that order A. B. Sprosty, safety director, is still in effect police chief of Cleveland and holds the whip hand on the vice and gambling situation. Order No. 73 was sent out to the city's entire police force Feb. 14, at the command of Sprosty, whose qualifications for his job of safety director is that he was formerly a jeweler and pawnbroker's clerk. Here it is: 'Notify the officers of the regular and criminal all possible information and evidence against vice and gambling and forward same promptly. Copies of these reports must be forwarded to the director of public safety. Raids or arrests are not to be made without the approval of the director.' The order was framed at the time Sprosty began demoralizing the police force by shearing Chief Rowe of his authority. Sprosty himself thus proclaimed 'I'm the boss', and made Rowe the de facto leader in the plains the continuance of the Clayton and Woodliff block gambling 'hells'. Hold the Maschke-Davis administration responsible for this, next fall. The Negro folk-song festival at Gray's armory, Monday evening, was poorly attended because of the inclement weather and because it was very poorly advertised. About six hundred were in attendance of the evening were led by Mrs. Mabel Lewis lines, one of the two original members of the Fisk Jubilee singers still alive; by Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, Mr. Harry E. Thompson and Mrs. Ruby Slaughter; the piano selections by Mrs. Clara Lewis Yancy and cornet imitations by Mr. Harry Ford were also greatly appreciaed to mar the pleasantness of the evening was the error of the Zepher quartette which mistook the concert for a cathetr or vaudville performance and lowered the tone of their ensemble work and the tone of the concert by by-play and by-talk during the rendition of at least one of their selections. All other participants, including the chorus of about 150 voices did well compose the music by Will Marion Cook, a former Cleveland "boy"; Harry T. Burleigh, a frequent visitor to this city years ago, when a resident of his home town, Erie, Pa., and S. Coleridge-Tayle, (deceased), the great Afro-English teacher and composer. It is understood that Madam E. Azalia Heyley was to receive fifty per cent of the net proceeds. If true, this little girl that Jennie E. Hunter, see, of the P. W.

Thus giving ample time necessary to best results Musk Radioactive. It has been recently determined that the penetrating quality of musk is due to certain radioactive properties which it possesses that cause odor of the perfume to be carried through the air in an extraordinary way, says the Indianapolis News. The radioactive property of musk affects strangely the natives who carry it to market. If a package of musk is held close to the body for any length of time it produces sores that are similar in character to those caused by pure radium. Mechanics in Medicine. The value of mechanics in medicine has been amply demonstrated and the science of healing is coming to regard with increasing favor the aid offered by mechanical devices. The physician, in private practice, finds it incumbent to meet the advance made by institutions and the result is that the office of the modern physician is coming more and more to resemble a machine shop, just as the hospitals and sanatoriums are being gradually converted into health factories. Equivocal Praise. The bishop had occasion to preach in one of the smaller cities, and as soon as the service was over many people went to him to express their appreciation of his sermon. One woman in particular was most outspoken in its praise. "Why, bishop," she said, "you can never know what your sermon meant to me. It was just like water to a drowning man!" CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Strict Adherence to Fashion in Each One of the Articles Shown—Ex- Everything comes in sets this year. There are skating sets, morning, afternoon and evening sets and sets for young, middle-aged and old. An afternoon set for a pretty deba tante is shown in the sketch. It consists of a small hat, a cape or over grown collar and cute little muff A Broadcloth and Ermine. White broadcloth is used, and each of the separate articles is trimmed with many narrow bands of unspotted ermine. Each has shell pink satin lining, the hat brim being faced underneath in pink, and small French bouquets of garden flowers used to trim hat and muff and to conceal the fastening of the narrow-folded scarf which circles the neck and holds the cape in place. An interesting feature of the muff is the slightly full sleeve of pink georgette with narrow ermine cuff or edging which finishes each end. This sleeve may be pushed close to the wrist and form merely a rather full decorative puff, or it may be pushed up over the arms to serve as an extra protection. A set of this kind would make an admirable gift for a young bride or Winter Suit. This is a suit of soft lamb's wool fabric with wide bands of white lapin, which add considerably to its attractiveness. The hat is a small turban of silk plush with paradise trimmings. Fashions and Fads. Eggplant purple is a beautiful shade Very pretty sports hats are of che nille. No hat is too small for its touch of silver. Wool jersey is being used for manlies. Velvet is worn for both afternoon and evening. There are chic coats of fur, straight in line and reaching a little below the hips. A striking frock has a bodice of black velvet, and the skirt of a soft striped material. A very appropriate frock for a little girl in pigtails has a decidedly Chinese quality. Taupe Velings Fashionable. According to the Dry Goods Economist, the current demand on vellings is picking up slightly under the stimulus of midseason millinery styles favorable to their use. To add to colors, taune is especially modish in the smart debutante, and it is needless to say that it offers an excellent Christmas gift suggestion. Among the skating sets developed, the four-piece affairs are the smartest—cap, muff, scarf and long bag for holding the skates. Felt, velvet, broadcloth, camel's hair cloth, etc., are used for the skating sets, and they are interlined with bright contrasting color or fabric and may be trimmed with fur, embroidery or shirring. The Palsley shaw vogue, which has become a veritable fashion furore in the past few weeks, is given frequent expression through the medium of one of these three or four-piece sets. Jacket Easy to Crochet. Make a chain of 92 stitches and turn, double crochet in third stitch from the end, double crochet in next two stitches, one chain, skip one chain, double crochet in each of next three stitches, one chain, skip one, one double in each of three next stitches. This makes blocks of three stitches. Continue in this way for 23 rows. Turn, chain four, one single crochet in single between blocks, three chain, one single in next single and continue across. Turn, and continue same as first row, until you have 25 blocks. This forms the back. To make fronts turn and make a block in each of first ten blocks, turn and continue for 28 rows. Break off thread and begin on opposite side, making ten blocks across for 28 rows. This leaves three blocks at the top of center of back for the neck. Now with pink or yellow yarn make a chain of five, one single, four chain, one single all around. This is the beginning of the border. Fasten colored yarn and with white yarn make three doubles over four chains of four. Over fifth and sixth chains of four make three doubles, one chain, then two doubles. Over next make three doubles and continue in this way until the next corner. On each corner make three doubles, one chain, two doubles, in ```markdown ``` Crocheted Jacket two chains of four. Now make four chains of pink or yellow, one single, etc., all around. Next make a row of three doubles all around, alternating in this way every other row for three rows. The outside edge is finished with chains of four, each fastened with a single. Each side is laced with pink ribbon or yellow ribbon, thus forming sleeves. Ribbon is also run around neck. Elaboration in Tea Gowns. Like everything else, the tea gown, once a trailing, diaphanous affair, much beffrilled and furbelowed, meant for hours of ease, has had to yield to the exigencies of the times, and has been, pro tem, shorn of its train and other extraneous decorations and enlarged its functions from tea time to dinner. It has come into the category of trainless garments and is sometimes even ankle length in its shortness. Also, the little loose coote that has come to be almost inseparable from it is pursuing a successful career. A black and white tea gown of much charm has a fourreau of white broche croupe de chine, over which is a flowing overdress, which reaches only to the knees, of black union patterned with silver, the bodice being draped and puffed fully round the figure and caught in front with a silver rose. The sleeves are of white shadow lace. Over all is worn a long, graceful three-quarter length coat of filiny black lace, edged with a full frill which is caught and festooned at regular intervals with single silver roses. Another beautiful one is in purple satin, so simply made as hardly to warrant description except for the beauty of its coloring. Its sole ornament consisted of a very wide high belt, exquisitely molded to the figure, of cerise brocade in which was a delicate tracery of gold, from which hung two long ends weighted with heavy gold tassels. The shoes to be worn with it were of fuchsia color and gold brocaded. It's Four-Piece Suits Now. Made of a tan all wool material, like wool khaki, are new four-piece suits being sold in New York. These are an overcoat, a belted coat, skirt and breeches. diamond meshes, as well as in the handsomer scroll designs. A new idea is the use of a single motif so placed on the vell that when adjusted it forms a trimming on the front of the hat, be especially appropriate for the new Russian turbans. Bordered designs continue in high regard in some sections of the country. Red Velour Coat. It is one thing to be told that red is a favorite color this winter but quite another to actually clap your eyes upon a long, puff-sleeved coat of royal red velour, collared and cuffed with a soft brown fur which must have been dyed fox. This coat was seen in a hotel the other day worn with a small close-fitting turban of gorgeous cashmere pane velvet trimmed with a roll of the dark fur. Stoles Are Big as Shawls. Stoles are widening into shawls, and some have slits for arms, finished with boxplated ribbon. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1916 IN NEUTRAL TINTS --- I notice that Mme. Paquin is favoring neutral tints for her winter wraps; at least for a great many of them, writes Dalin de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe. She is creating lovely things in soft beige velours de laine and also in the new ratine. The Paquin wrap coats are almost always lined with a soft satin which matches the leading tone of the fur trimming. I mentioned this fact in one of my recent articles, and I refer to it again now because it is such a charming fashion and one which could not fall to please women of cultivated taste. For some time past it has been the fashion to line coats and wraps with gorgeous brocades and fancy silks of all kinds; but Mme. Paquin, whose taste is always faultless, has taken us back to linings which are more simple and yet more effective. For a young girl I saw a charming loose coat which was made of dull rose, fleecy cloth and trimmed with a collar and cuffs of chinchilla. In this case the lining was chinchilla-gray satin and the buttons transparent gray horn. Large horn buttons are again very fashionable, for tailored suits as well as for **wraps**. Real tortoise shell but Charming Little Hat. tons look lovely on brown cloth, and I have seen transparent blue horn but tons successfully introduced on blue Harris frieze. Nowadays everything depends on the smaller items of the toilette; if these be uncommon and in the best taste, the costume will almost certainly score a success. It becomes more the fashion to have coats, and even whole dresses, built up round a set of handsome buttons, or a valuable antique buckle. This idea is quite Parisian. In certain circles dyed ermine is enjoying a period of success. Personally I very much dislike the idea; I consider it inartistic and ineffective. Nevertheless, it is the fashion. For evening mantles ermine is dyed pastel pink or pastel blue. I have even seen this lovely fur dyed emerald green, the dear little black tails being left to show that the fur is really ermine, not Copyright 1920 A period of Grecian tendencies in fashion is prophesied by experts. This gown is one of the first of the Grecian models to make its appearance in this country. It is an evening dress of pink satin trimmed with military bold braid cut in plain lines similar to the designs worn by the Greek dancers. This simplicity adds to its charm rather than detracts. From the shoulder to the belt is a flower line copied from the rose bowers affected by the peasants of Greece on fete days. Snaring Quail. No bird is better known than the quail from the transpish littoral to the Arabian hillstides. Twice a year he passes over the great inland sea, northward in spring and southward in September and October. His coming is quite a festival, and many an outstanding bill and many a peasant's overdue rent is paid at his expense. When he goes northward in May to his nesting place in middle Europe, the sandy Italian beaches are lined with fine netting, loosely held up by stakes, dyded rabbit or cat! Fale lemon-yellow ermine is introduced, with some success, on tea gowns made of silver gray chiffon. The sketch shows a quaint little hat of dull silver galon and green embroidery with a soft crown of musquash and ermine. TO STYLES OF OTHER DAYS Fashion Is Taking Up Blending of Colors in Way That Was Popular in the Seventies. The French are too busy with important matters to invent many new stuffs. Gabardine grows in favor and use, wearing as well as serge, which means a great deal. Taffetas, faille, and chiffons grow more and more in demand; brocades in silk and satin and broadcloth all have their following, and most chic of all for evening is chiffon-taffeta embroidered in gold and silver. But for the moment the great novelty is moire cire, says the Queen, London. It is moire turned inside out and heavily waxed by a roller process. Silk has been treated in the same way for showproof coats. Many of the most expensive evening and day gowns are made of moire cire, but few dresses now are entirely composed of the one material. It requires two at least to make a success. Those who have seen "Disraeli" at the Royalty and the dresses there, such as were worn in the seventies, realize how then materials and colors were blended, and to this state of things we are returning. RAG RUG HAS COME BACK Floor Coverings of Grandmother's Day Show a Really Anatomy Re- ing The renaissance of the rug rug is here. Rag bags throughout the land are being ransacked for scraps to make the homely floor coverings of a bygone day. But despite the new interest in home-made rugs, many a woman has forgotten, or never learned, an art in which her grandmother was an adept. The rug rug is made on a hand loom, and new material may be combined with old. In such cases the cloth is torn into strips and woven with the rags regardless of color, or dyed to match any shade selected. A blue or purple border and white center give a pleasing effect. About two and a half pounds of rags, or from five to seven yards of new material, are required to weave a yard of rug. Braided or plaited rugs also have returned to a high position in the esteem of the home-maker. These seem to find most favor in the round shapes, a pretty color combination being obtained by the use of one blue and two white stripes alternately. Greens in two shades are desirable for porches, and reds and blacks and blues or old rose are suitable for living rooms. Crocheted rugs resemble the braided variety in appearance. They are most often made of outing channel or other soft material crocheted with double stitch over rope and sewed together. There is almost no restriction upon color schemes in any of these rugs, and the futurist motif recently has been seen in some of the more pretentious. But the ones like grandmother-made—plain and durable—the supreme excellence in this art of the home woman. FOR NEXT SUMMER'S PORCH Much Planning and Work Should Be In Order During the Long Evenings of Winter. It is not a bit too soon to talk about ways and means to improve the porch next summer. During the long winter nights much work can be done. Cushions can be made, table covers embroidered, and porch workbags developed. And the thing suggesting this article is a chairbrack cover. Such a cover is really a necessity, for everyona knows how frequently the paint from the chair rubs on on one's blouses. An attractive cover can be made from a piece of linen a foot square. The edges can be scalloped and buttonholed or finished with hemstitching. Another method which is effective and very quickly carried out is to turn a hem along the edges and hold the hem down with French knots in color. A floral design is an appropriate one for the cover and gives plenty of opportunity for introducing color. The cover can be held on with ribbon ties or it can be snapped into place. Begin now to make a cover for each porch chair. Perhaps when you have a set made you will decide to give it away at Christmas. From Unbleached Muslim From humble unbleached muslin you can make a most serviceable gift for a baby. The gift consists of a tray cover and a bib. The tray cover is oblong and on one end is embroidered in red cross stitches a saucy squirrel in the act of eating a nut. The same design is embroidered on the bib. The edge of the cover and bib are hemmed and the hem is held in place with deep buttonhole stitches set rather far apart. Although red is an attractive color for children, a set like the one just described will be very pretty embroidered in blue, coral or pink. and the quail, flying low over the sea, plunge into these and are securely held by the falling meshes. On the small Island of Capri, near Naples, 160,000 are sometimes taken in a season—St. Louis Star. Beautiful Nights Nothing is more beautiful than the moon and the stars these clear nights. They seem to bring heaven a little nearer than at any other season. And best of all, nobody gets a bill for the subline service they perform. No Change in Styles Has Any Effect on the Demand for These Garments. TOO SERVICEABLE TO GIVE UP New York.—The people who make and sell blouses are complaining today and the demand for these garments is falling off because the one-piece gown has been found so satisfying, and the top-coat so comfortable. So they are. The coat suit was only intended as a strictly street garment, but it has been adopted as a costume that serves all purposes, until one retires for the night, and from the way that hundreds of women wear it, one feels they are deprived of actual happiness by having to discard it when the light is turned off. A falling off in blouses is always threatened as each season advances; and each season sees them selling like peanuts at a circus. Whatever one wears, one is brought up on the tradition that a certain number of blouses are necessary to happiness; they fit in where other garments fall to satisfy. The men who make them, and nothing else, in New York, say they cannot take another order for six months, and that for six years they have not had a breathing spell even between the seasons. Smart women who used to order their blouses from Paris, because of the exquisite needlework, have found this method made almost impossible FAILURED SUIT IN BEIGE. It is of beige velvet, with buttons of red. The skirt is plaited, and the jacket is belted in the front and hangs loosely in the back. since the war, and their orders have recently made specialists in this country sufficiently rich to think of going to Europe themselves. Distinction in Frocks. No one who is going out to shop can fail to be bewildered by the variety of frocks that are offered, and wonder if they are all intended for the same occasions. Velvet, satin, serge—very little of this, however—vetron, medieval homepun, and chiffon follow each other in rapid succession through the hands of those who sell. And when all is seen, satin is usually chosen. The reason for this universal choice is that it is the lightest fabric to be worn under a topcoat in the open and the smartest to serve in the house. Fashion allows satin to be employed with more frequency than any other material except chiffon, but the former is a better choice than the latter for no especial reason, unless it be that we are tired of chiffon as we are of taffeta. No special pleading can make one turn to that silk today for any purpose. The really new note struck in fabrics for frocks is the homespun that is an imitation of the kind spun by the good wives of the middle ages, for they were not above such work, you remember; one of the proudest noblewomen of England was noted for the excellence of her cow-milking. She allowed no henchman to meddle with this part of her many duties. The master weavers of Paris brought out this rough, serviceable and really lovely material a year after the war started, possibly for economic reasons, and the French women saw its virtues at once. It pleased them, even the smartest of them, to adopt the material of other, and simpler days when barons were at war all the hours of life, and the designers, falling in with the scheme of simple things, invented those twelfth century frocks that were worn for nearly three centuries by their ancestors. In Homespun Effects. Callot has taken up this homespun in the weave that is like that spun in India and worn by the Hindus, and she has embroidered it in the palm leaf design which was fashionable under the reign of Napoleon. Other designers have built the homespun into severe frocks that hang straight from the shoulders and are FIGHT HOOKWORM IN MINES California Health Board Takes Action in Response to Request of San Francisco,—Dr. J. G. Cumming, director of the bureau of communicable diseases of the state board of health, will soon begin an investigation of hookworm in the mines of Amador county, with a view to eradating the disease in California. Other mining sections of the state will also be investigated. girlded in below the waist with silken cord knotted at the ends. But the woman who chooses such a frock, while she will have the satisfaction of knowing that it is in the first fashion, must keep well in mind that its opportunities are limited. It will not serve for the theater, the restaurant or an afternoon reception or card party. It is also heavy and warm under a topcoat, and only gives its full meed of value in those seasons and in those climates that permit it to be worn in the open with nothing additional but a set of furs. By the early spring, it may be in high favor. **Satin Leading Other Fabrics.** On the other hand, satin in a thick weave seems to offer itself as a fabric for the majority of activities that fill up the life of the American woman. It can be stretched far enough to take the place of a coat suit if one must be economical. The dressmakers are using it for morning frocks worn by schoolgirls, for afternoon occasions that range from weddings to restaurant dancing, for informal evening frocks that serve not only the woman who has few opportunities and less desire for the gorgeous gowns that the smart set wears, but also for the fashionable woman who wishes, for a time, to avoid the brilliance of splendid evening attire. Along with velvet, it forms the foundation for the most Oriental and medieval ball gown, but in its simpler forms it is in dull colors and merely trimmed with chain stitchery and a bit of metallic thread. Gray has taken - This wrap by Martial et Armand is on one of the pouches powdered in silver, and stamped with a kerning. This wrap by Martial et Armand is of rose velvet embroidered in silver, and trimmed with skunk. hold of the public as a color that serves the several hours and the introduction of much cut steel and tarnished silver thread gives the opportunity for stimulating a dull color into decided gavety. Slavic Designs That early fashion in embroidery, where thick worsted threads were employed in Slavic designs is still sold in the shops that cater to a large trade, and there is something attractive about its rudeness and elementary attempt at ornamentation, but it is being rapidly pushed into the chaos of things that were, by reason of the preferred method of ornamenting with balloon threads. This is as Slavic as the other fashion, but it suits satin better. It is not held for evening gowns, but bits of it are spread over a wide range of garments. By the way, it is well to put your thoughts on fanciful chain stitchery, for it is to be in the forefront of fashion during the 1930s. (Copyright, 1936, by the McClure Newsaper Syndicate.) HATS HERE AND TO COME Information on the Subject of the Season's Millinery That Will Be Found Interesting. Many women are ready for their second hats of the season, others have just selected their first and still others have their first yet to select. To all three classes, however, the subject of millinery is an interesting one. Embroidery is the thing in the way of trimming. A combination of materials is used in many cases to develop one design. On a brown hat a little daisy design has its petals embroidered in ribbon, while the leaves, stems and centers are in silk. A novel bonnet of velvet has streamers reaching to the shoulders. The streamers are made of several strands of knotted worsted. Single trimmings, such as a single rose, an ornament made of feathers or fur, real or imitation, are most effective. A novel feature is a neckpiece with the ends finished to form small change purses. These are arranged so that they shall be decorative as well as practical. Rings to Hang Muffs on the Arm. A good many small grandmother muffs provided with bracelet rings of jade or silk are being seen in New York. Bags and Hats of Chenille. Chenille is now coming to the fore for bags and for hats, as well as embroidery. Doctor Cumming's investigation will be made at the request of the mine owners of Amador, who are anxious to get rid of hookworm cases on the ground that the efficiency of every miner so affected is cut down to 25 per cent, of his normal working capacity. Prices Differ. "One cost of tan is just as stylish as another," remarks an exchange. Maybe so, but the farmer's doesn't cost nearly so much as the vacationist. EASYDISH WASHING IMPROVED METHOD OF CLEAN- ING TABLE UTENSILS. Does Away In Large Measure With the Unpleasant Work Which All House- wives Dislike—Saving of Both Temper and Labor. After each meal spoons, knives and forks are gathered, dropped into a pail of clean soapsuds and immediately wiped dry, a simple matter of two or three minutes. The plates and dishes are scraped and set in a tub of soapsuds, hot or cold, as convenient, the cups and saucers into another tub or pan likewise. Then the cooking things are thoroughly cleaned when emptied, and rinsed and wiped and put away immediately, which is much easier and more quickly done than at any other time. One's hands need not be wet during the whole process, and there is nothing unusual in the neat kitchen except three bright pans or tubs of neatly-piled dishes covered with water. When ready to attack them the water is poured off and fresh, hot suds poured over the panful. Then the clean pieces are lifted out into the drainer, set in a large pan to fit, hot water poured over them and the drainer set on the back part of the range or in the sun and air for a few minutes until they are ready to set away. Piled in open order, with hot water poured over them, and set in a current of air, dishes dry of themselves better than anyone can wine them. Pitchers and jars are washed out with a mop, scalded and turned upside down to dry. They dry more thoroughly and with less danger of breakage than in the ordinary way, and why is this method not as good for all china? If you will try drying china in this way you will find that it comes out glossy enough to suit the most exacting housewife—and with a great saving of temper and labor.—Chicago Herald. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE When boiling a leg of mutton inclose it in a muslin bag. Cooked in this way it will keep a much better shape. To make red tiles a bright color, rub with lemon dipped in fine salt. Leave for a few minutes, then wash with soap and water. A solled photograph mount may be cleansed by rubbing with dry bread-crumbs; the photograph should be wiped with clean cold water. For removing tea and coffee marks from linen glycerine is excellent. Pour it over the stains, rub it well in, and wash in the usual way. Indiarubber gloves are better than leather ones to wear when doing housework; they are more flexible, and in addition are much easier to keep clean. Where oil lamps are used a palefish of dry sand should always be kept handy. Nothing is so effective for extinguishing burning oil in case of accident. When making suet dumplings, whether sweet or savory, always prick them well before putting them in the pan. If this is done they will not stick to the bottom. Olives of Veal. This takes some pains, but it is well worth while. You will need one or two cuttles which you should trim and cut into pieces about two and one-half inches wide by four inches long. Place on each piece a strip of thin bacon and a tablespoonful of chopped mushrooms. Season with pepper and salt and roll up, tie and skewer. Have ready fine bread crumbs and a beaten egg and dip each olive first in eggs and then in the crumbs. Now do each one up in buttered paper—oiled paper will answer—and bake them. Cut the string when done and remove the skewer. They are especially tempting when served with tomato sauce. Fish a La Wynne Boll two pounds of codfish and white hot remove all bones, skin, and flake fish in small pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix together a gill of anchovy essence, one tablespoonful of mustard and the same of tarragon vinegar and olive oil. Over the fish sprinkle some grated Edam cheese and stir through the mixture. Arrange it on a salad dish, garnish with watercress and sliced cucumbers and set on ice for an hour or more to chill. Serve with salad a very thin mayonnaise. Vegetable Roast Take one-half cupful of boiled corn, either canned or cut from the cob; one-half cupful of baked beans, mashed to a pulp; one-half cupful of boiled rice, one-half cupful of strained stewed tomatoes, one-half teaspoonful of minced onion, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one-quarter cupful of sweet milk and salt and pepper to taste. Mix this together and add enough stale breadcrumbs to make a stiff dough, roll and bake in a greased pan. Serve with tomato sauce. Black Cake. Two cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of butter, three eggs, one cake of shaved chocolate (dissolved in one-half cupful of very hot black coffee), one level teaspoonful soda (dissolved in one-half cupful of thick sour cream or milk) two cupfuls of flour. The sour milk makes the cake richer and the coffee improves its flavor. If you make this in layers, try a marshmallow filling, and, of course, you can use white instead of brown sugar in cake if preferred. Butter Honey Cake Rub together one and a half cupfuls of honey and one half cupful butter; add the unbeaten yolks of three eggs and beat thoroughly. Add five cupfuls flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of ground cinnamon and one half teaspoonful salt; one and a half teaspoonful soda dissolved in one tablespoonful orange-flower water. Beat the mixture thoroughly and add the well-beaten whites of three eggs. Bake in shallow tins and cover with frosting.
