--- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE EAGLE Francis Jackson Garrison, youngest son of William Lloyd, Garrison, abolitionist, died at his home in Newtonville, Mass., some days ago. He had been in falling health for some months Mr. Garrison is survived by his only son, Wendell Holmes Garrison, who lived with him, and by his sister, Mrs. Henry Villard of New York. Named after Francis Jackson, the famous English abolitionist, Mr. Garrison took a keen and active interest from boyhood in the stupendous efforts his father was then making in behalf of freeing the Negroes. This close association with the abolitionist Mr. Garrison's greatest pleasure in later life, and his continued his interest in the welfare of the race, being one of the most influential members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One of the few surviving men who had had a wide acquaintance among the men associated with the abolition movement, Mr. Garrison was at the time of his death one of the greatest authorities on the subject. Besides making for himself one of the most important collections of antislavery literature and of the records and papers of his father, Mr. Garrison gave generously of this material to aid libraries and out their literature on the subject. He collaborated with his brother, Wendell Phillips Garrison, in writing the biography of the abolitionist "William Lloyd Garrison; the Story of His Life Told by His Children." Born in Boston October 29, 1848, he was educated at the famous Boston Latin school, gradating in 1855. While still a schoolboy he aided his father in the publication of the Liberator, the powerful organ of the abolitionist movement, and was present on the historic evening at the end of 1855, when the elder Garrison, having written his valedictor, set in hand the book, "The Liberator," and stood by as the forms for the last number of the Liberator were closed. Having completed his schooling, Mr. Garrison went abroad with his sister, Mrs. Henry Villard, and Mr. Villard. They were joined by the elder Garrison in Paris in May, 1857. The young man visited the International exposition with his father and accompanied him on his trifurcal visit in Paris, where he met the young month, when eminent men and women of the two countries acclaimed the American who had done so much to win emancipation for slave slaves. Returning with his father after an eventful summer spent in both France and England. Mr. Garrison arrived in Boston again on November 16 of the same year. Ten years later he accompanied his father upon another trip to England, this time in the interests of the health of the elder man. Although his friends in England had been advised that William Lloyd Garrison was not strong enough to attend receptions and could not resist the opportunity to invite their friends to meet the abolitionist, to get him to talk about his early trials and later successes in the abolitionist movement, and to draw out his opinions on various moral and social questions. At all gatherings the son was an attentive listener and was continually curried up the vigor and freshness, with which his father recounted his early experiences. The trip started in May, 1877, and the two men returned to New York by the end of the Negroes of this city have turned their hand to writing. Prof. Richard T.

THE GAZETTE Having already made his connections with the publishing house of Houghton, Mifflin company, the younger Mr. Garrison returned to Boston to resume his duties. He married Mary Pratt in 1879, and she died three years later. In 1891 he married Theresa Holmes, who died in 1915. According to the census of 1910 there were in this country 218,712 Negro farmers owning their own homes. At that time 672,064 Negroes were tenants on the farms of others. Negroes are typically an out-of-door worker. He shrives best in God's fresh air and sunshine. Coop him up in the house and pulmonary disease attacks him quickly. As for the southern Negro, this is the lesson that should be learned before he allows the seductive offers of the northern labor seeker to pull him away from the climate and the work for which he is suited. The offer of better wages has already drawn more than 125,000 Negroes from the South. Despite the cold weather that approaches, the migration to the North continues. It is estimated that in six months more the number will reach a quarter of a million. Most of these Negroes are from the rural districts, and many are in the house in their lives. They have only a limited idea of the labor they will be expected to do in their new home. From the contemplation of these Negroes who are going to the rigors of the North, it is interesting to turn to the case of the Harris county Negro whose story was contained in the news columns of the Post of Sunday. Working with his seven sons and 2 yoke of oxen for the lumber mills, this Negro managed to become the owner of 600 acres Texas land. In the spring of this year are 19 bales of cotton, 3,000 bushels of sweet potatoes and 80 head of hogs. He and his family are well and they are content to stay in Texas. There will be no tempting them to leave the delightful climate of south Texas to spend a single winter in the zero temperatures of Illinois or New York. Any other Negro who will work and attend to business may do as well in the South as this Negro has done. There is no limitation on opportunity. The Negro will work on premium upon application, upon hard work, upon the ability to save, and upon common sense properly applied. The southern Negro who will work on the farm may do well. He will have the respect and the friendship of the white men of his community. He will have their help and their encouragement, and he can be happy in the land of southern sunshine — Houston (Tex.), Post.

HOPES FOR PEACE REST ON MEDIATION Diplomatic Washington Is Convinced Direct Negotiation Is Impossible. DEPENDS SOLELY ON WILSON Only the Most Skillful Handling of Situation by United States Can Ering Slaughter in Europe to an End. Washington, D.C. — Hope for peace in Europe rested solely on President Wilhelm II's world-greatened the new year 1917. Diplomatic Washington was convinced that direct negotiations between the two groups of battling European nations is impossible, and that only the most skillful handling of the situation by the United States can bring the slaughter to an end. Will Be Secret Negotiations. Diplomatic circles here were prepared to see the peace negotiations disappear into the dark and mysterious world of looted diplomacy. It was predicted, however, that these secret negotiations, properly conducted, will bear fruit ultimately, and one well informed diplomat declared that the peace terms would come to the surface in two months. With the direct peace negotiations initiated by Germany now practically a closed incident and attention centered on the attitude to be assumed by the entente powers toward the presence of one of the belligerents' embassies here outlined the peace situation as follows: "Germany's proposal for peace, and the reply of the entente allies have made it clear by their tone that there is no hope for direct negotiations for peace. The exchanges show that the belligerants have no common ground upon which they can get together for the mutual compromises which must mark the final peace negotiations. The United States must preliminary motions which must precede formal discussion of peace terms." "Mediation by a strong neutral power is the only other means of securing peace. The European neutrality, by their close proximity to the conflict and their patent interests in its outcome, are plainly barred from effectual work in the direction of mediation." "Only the United States, the greatest neutral of all, is in a position to make itself effectively heard above the din of the struggle. The president's peace proposals already under way are the most successful of the final negotiations for peace." "These negotiations will be carried on in secret. Following the expected reply of the entente allies to the president's peace note, it is to be expected that opportunities will develop for the preliminary confidential communication of peace terms by both sides to the president direct. These negotiations will necessarily be tenuous and slow, but the peace movement can be expected to take definite diplomatic action. The neutral and skilful diplomatic conduct, the United States can bring the peace terms into the open in about that time." 'Watchful Waiting' Perlog. "Watchful Waiting Period." Confronted with this situation, the administration settled down to期ed "diplomatic downhill" that the diplomatic screw down tightlypelt both the White House and the state department. "Secretary of State Lawsling declared emphatically that he would not discuss the peace situation, and that the diplomatic decks were cleared for the confidential negotiations. Representatives of the entente allies declined to talk peace until the formal answer of their governments to the president's note has been received. The Teutonic diplomats maintained the optimism which has characterized their peace discussion ambitions, and the German government protaganda. It is the German embassy it was stated that the German government would undoubtedly make some statement either through diplomatic channels or otherwise, to meet the charges made in the entente reply to the German peace proposals. In this statement, which may take the form of a speech to the reckstich by Foreign Secretary Zimmermann, will be Germany's last word in the controversy over who is responsible for starting the war. Negroes' Migration Due to Hunger Montgomery, Alabama. — Enlightenment of negroes to the east and middle west from the controversy attributed in the newspaper depicted at an Emancipation Day celebration here, in which several thousand negroes participated, as due to "the lash of hunger and necessity" and to "larger percentage of personal liberty offered through the more liberal franchises existing there." Shot by Sweetheart Lima, Ohio. — Eugene Callhan, 18, is in a hospital with a bullet in his back as a result of a new year's celebration. Police say, his sweetheart, Mish Ruth Hover, 18, of Gallon, fired when the assault is said to have been accidental. Callhan had started home and the girl was holding his revolver which they had used in marking the birth of the new year. As the boy stopped through door she pulled the trigger and the weapon emptied.

STONE DENOUNCES LAWSON'S CHARGES 'Any Public Official Using Government Information for Gain Is Scoundrel,' Says Senator Washington, D. C. — A demand for the official leak which precipitated the Wall; sent panic帖 congress after. Senate. Stone denounced Thomas W. Lawso; and his charges, but in a senses, speech to the senate he had the thing which represented the "hope of the nation" had "leaked" from the state department. Senator Stone declared that any public official who used government information for private gain was an "unscrupulous scoundrel" and ought to be dismissed from office. Thomas W. Lawso himself had his "leak" charges before Representative Henry of Texas, chairman of the rules committee, which has before it Representative Wood's resolution for a "bill" invoking Representative Henry, after conferring with the Boston broker, declared that he saw no reason for calling his committee together to consider the resolution. He said that Lawson had not supplied information sufficiently definite to support action by the committee. Lawson has promised further revelations and Henry's decision threatened to precipitate a revolt in the committee. Representative Campbell, a Republican, has promised vigorously against what he termed the "star chamber" proceedings conducted by the chairman. Senator Stone's speech created a sensation in the senate. "It is true that any public official did use any secret information as has been alleged to further his own personal interests, he is an unscrupulous scoundrel. If any man in legislative life did it, he must be unscrupulous, he ought to be dismissed from office. "I do not know if there is any foundation under these sensational reports. But I do know things have occurred in the state department that ought not to have been possible. "I know that the confidential communication to the state department and foreign governments which never have been made except in the state department must secret, have by some means found their way into the hands of men not authorized to receive them. The things to which I refer did not concern stock market transactions but the honor of the nation. How this happened I do not know, but it could only have happened through the indulgence of employees of the state department. "Senator Stone said that the Lawson disgusted, "and that the time has come when "this government does not have to consult the stock exchange before communicating with a foreign government."

OTHER TOWNS ARE CAPTURED Russian Attacks on Moldavian Front, Fall, According to German Report. The strategic and strongly-defended towns of Matchin and Jilila, in northern Dobrudja, have been captured by the Teutons, Berlin announces officially. By the capture of Matchin and Jilila the forces of the central powers have defended the northern Dobrudja, the extremity of the* Dobrudja mainland around which the Danube curves past Brulla and Galata. Bralia Still Holds. The defense which the Russians had prepared here was based largely on Matchin, the principal town, within its area and which gave the bridgehead its name. Seemingly the captures still further imperil Bralia, on the opposite bank of the Danube, which, according to advices from Teutonic sources, has been under the fire of Mackenon's force from this shore for several days. Bralia, however, is still further defended by a bridgehead on the Waltachian shore, and at last accounts this position was still holding firm against the Teutonic attacks. Bralia is an important Danube port, and has been a storehouse for grain and oil supplies of considerable magnitude. Berlin also reports the capture, after desperate storming attacks, of the Roumanian town of Luncavitiz in the northwest. On the Moldavian front strong attacks were made by Russo-Roumanian forces. The German official announcement says those assaults failed with heavy losses to the attackers. The towns of Barsei and Topesi, as well as several hill positions, were captured by the Teutonic forces. In the interior of Roumania the Russians and Roumanians have been driven back west and south of Pokrovsk and the invaded area from the front of the fortified Russian positions. Buss Hone to Halt Drive Hope Hospice It is in a general way that follows in a general way the course of the Sereth, 'that the Russians are counting on bringing to a halt Mackensens drive. Ending at the Danube between Braila and Galata, this line extends northwestward through Moldavia in the direction of the frontier. In the course of the operation, break this line is to be a strong one, as Berlin records smashing attacks upon the Russian lines at several points in which prisoners were taken and ground gained. Artillery activity of a lively sort in the Meuse-sector of the Ploe-Belgian operation successful patrol operation near the Lorraine border are reported in the German statement regarding operations in this war area. Some further progress has been made by the British on the Tigris and the Nile, but county were resumed after a long period of quiet during the hot weather. THINK SLAYER IS KNOWN OWNER OF BLOODY SHIRT AND COLLAR IDENTIFIED; NO ARRESTS YET. Philadelphia, Pa. — The man who killed Grace Roberts, beautiful artists' model, last Friday, left his bloody shirt and collar in her apartment. The man, a rich Pennsylvanian, whose man she is on the lips of everyone who moved in her circles, went shirtless and collarless to his hotel the morning after the killing. There is every reason to believe the police have heard the details of the killing from the man who did it, and that his story has involved a wealthy Philadelphian who wrestled the man, and who is now under surveillance. Despite these facts, no arrests have been made. Grandstand Burns. Dayton, Ohio. — A fire loss of about $10,000 was sustained when the grandstand and bleachers of the Highland Park baseball grounds, home of the Chicago League team idre, was destroyed by fire.

Charged With Fraud. Chicago, Il. — Trial of former officials and salesmen of the Independent Harvester Co. charged with using the 'mails to defray, began before the company in the United States district court. The principal defendants are William Campbell Thompson, former president of the company, and Ning Eley, an attorney. The government contention is that the defendants used the mails to defray, which they considered to be worthless, thereby defrauding many persons. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MEXICAN SITUATION NO NEARER SOLUTION The Year Has Not Brought Any Particular Change in Relations Between Countries. Washington, D. C. The concluding hours of 1918 found the Mexican problem no nearer solution in so far as the diplomatic relations between that revolution ridden country are concerned, than they were 366 days ago. With what may develop into the final meeting of the joint Mexican-American joint commission scheduled for Tuesday in Washington the question as to whether the present relations shall continue or whether an "abrupt change in the relations" will be unanswered. The American members of the joint commission, their patience sorry tried for "time to consider" are disposed to stand firmly against further discussion of the questions at issue. But from sources close to the president it has been stated that he is still disposed to be lentent and grasp almost any opportunity present of the Mexicans to provide for the Mexican army diplomatic arrangements under which the commissioners have been proceeding. It is pointed out that to break off all relations with Carranza cannot help the situation. The growing strength of the Villa movement, so called, which means the waxing activities of all the various related and unrelated enemies of the constitutionnalist government leads the president and his closer allies to the cause of improvement gained for the cause of improved relations by a further squabble with the nominal government of Mexico. On the other hand, the progress of Villa's own forces in the direction of Monterey, capital of Neuvo Leon and the metropolis of northern Mexico conveys a threat of serious consequences for both the United States and the constitutionalist. It is well known that the ultimate object of this maneuver, but the rich oil country east of that city and the great oil port of Tampico. In this region are properties of the foreign oil development concerns, American, British and Dutch, with equipment of a value measurable in hundreds of millions of dollars and supporting wells of which the United States built the British way. What Villa and his marauders could, would or might do in the way of destruction of foreign property because real anxiety on the part of the administration. Back of the direct damage possible is the international complications which threaten. Tampico is the source of oil supply of almost all the rebels under Another danger in this latest progress of Villa is the danger which may follow through a juncture of his own forces with those of the rebels under Pelaz who are in actual control of the oil country surrounding Tuxam, the port of export next in importance to Tampico. Should he accomplish, the coming to Villa as a friendly alliance, the establishment of Mexico's great oil territory would be completely in the hands of enemies of Carranza. NOTED AUTHOR IS DEAD HAMILTON WRIGHT MABIE SUCUMBES TO HEART FAILURE AND OTHER AILMENTS. Summit, N. J. — Hamilton Wright Mabie, the noted author and editor is read at his home here. As associate editor of the Outlook, he paid his last visit to the offices of the magazine three weeks ago. Since then his condition became very much worse and he never rallied. A week heart, overburdened with other ailments, was the cause of his death. Prof. Mabie was graduated from Columbia in 1889. In 1899 and 1908 he received the degree of LH. D. from two universities. He was a lecture of note in all parts of America and other countries. As an editor he assisted in producing the Outlook.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Graze Roberta, a young artist's model, who posed for photographs advertising Onxy hosiery and Kisfit picoatts and whose face and figure were familiar, through these photographs, to millions of Americans, was found murdered in her room in an exclusive uptown apartment house. Her throat had been cut and she had been terribly beaten. A man's silk shirt bearing the mark of a New York manufacturer, was found in the room. This is the only clew found. THE EAGLE OF THE UNION WILLIS' POLITICAL LESSON: Gov. Frank B. Willis will vacate the office on Monday next. We wonder if he has learned his political lesson? Hardly had he been inaugurated, two years ago, then he began to give his best appointments to Republicans representing the portion of the party that had most actively opposed him for the gubernatorial nomination and did not support him; any too actively during the campaign for his election: This to the exclusion of most of his friends who had worked hardest for him from the very beginning. This mistaken policy—he pursued through his administration, only trying to "hick" his old friends into supporting him again this fall. Of course, this failed. How he broke his voluntary promise to our people and mistreated him in several ways in order that he might continue to cater to the portion of the party that had opposed him so actively prior to his nomination, has been told so often in The Gazette that repetition is unnecessary at this time. However, we wonder if he remembers how the Gazette repeatedly warned him that the Maschke-Davis faction acted against him. This depended his nomination, could not be depended upon to carry Cuyahoga (county) for him, and that it (the faction) would not make up the loss of the united support of our vote either in this county or the state, in event of his permitting "State Oil Inspector Carr" to make the appointment of "Germany" Hudson as a deputy for him (the governor). This is really, what defeated Gov. Willis at the recent election, for if he had received the united support, he month, two years ago, from People, two years ago, a Governor-elect Cork's would have been wiped out and a like plurality given Willis. It pays, even in politics, to be loyal to your friends, Frank! VILLARD AND LEADERSHIP. Some of our contemporaries are running to the defense of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard. We shall not quarrel with them about it, but we reiterate, there is no middle ground! If Mr. Villard approves the policies of President Wilson respecting the Colored people, he cannot fight the battles of the Colored race so as to get for its real freedom! Any main organization or newspaper, that straddles and_wabbles on the issue of absolute equality of the Colored race in everything respecting citizenship, with other races, cannot be a leader of the race! O. G. VILLARD. The Colored race is not going about asking, anybody to be our friends. What it demands is constitutional justice as an American citizen. It is a sign of inferiority and truckling when a Colored man speaks loudly about "our white friends." As a race, we are not asking to put our friends or foes in the White House, but we do know that the mean deed is duty bound to be just and fair with all American citizens. "Our white friends," in the South are the most useless class extant! They speak after the mean deed is executed. They are worth nothing as a preventative. That Mr. Villard by voting for and supporting Mr. Wilson can get better consideration for the Colored people at his (Wilson's) hands is a damaging admission. As a man among men, I would spurn any, consideration given me because some white man can intercede and get it for me. If I am not entitled to it, I am not demanded that I shall have it. If I am not entitled to it, no one should seek to get it for me, for in so doing the constitution is being destroyed. As a man, Mr. Villard is fine but as a leader in the fight-for justice for Colored Americans, he has compromised by doing as he has. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1917. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "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. Be it said to their everlasting credit, only a very FEW of our people attended the Frank B. Willis "loving cup" meeting held in the Second Baptist church of Columbus, two weeks ago. The similar meeting, last week, in honor of Sheriff Eley, of Lima, was in marked contrast to it. This is as it should be. The proposal to endow the Republican National Committee's campaign committee with the powers and functions of the executive committee runs counter to the rules adopted at the last National Convention. If accepted, there would be, of course, no one to bring action and no way to enforce punishment for an infraction of those rules. Yet it is probably better to adhere to the rules. The Republican party is the party of law and order and it will subserve that purpose best when it maintains its own laws and regulations. IS PARTY DOMINATION OF CONGRESS ENDED? The independents in the next Congress are meditating an organization of their own, with the object, as their spokesman says, of securing changes in the rules which will permit a larger freedom of action among the representatives. The size of the group is problematical. It is doubtless large enough to carry control to one side on the other, if all the independents shift ed en bloc. The chances are that the next congress will more nearly proximate conditions in most European parliaments than any we have ever had. In Europe, there is scarcely a Chamber of Deputies where any one party can command a majority. The German reichstag has existed for years with the socialists as the largest single group in its membership, and the government has had to depend upon a coalition to maintain its measures; so, too, in England, the Asquil ministry, and have no the Lloyd George cabinet, have had no majority granted to it with the mandate of a general election; while in France the center, the left, the right, and the other groups of deputies have always been the despair of foreigners and of prime ministers alike. Many European publicists have looked for a new condition in the United States, which has remained steadfastly a two-party country. It may be that that day is past and that we, too, shall have the block system in politics. AN OUTRAGE. A few days ago two passengers, one white and the other colored, boarded a Pullman Car in New York City for a journey through the south. The former was a woman of the south and objected to the presence of the latter in the car when it reached "jim-crow" territory. The company refused to eject the colored passenger. Angered and chagrined because she had to "ride in the same car with a colored person" the woman brought suit against the Southern Railway Co., and the courts of Mississippi gave a $1,000 judgment in her favor. Very likely this white woman is among the class that the truckling colored scophants style "our white friends". She did not object to the presence of the colored porter in that car. She doubtless took delight in calling out "porter" whenever any occasion demanded it. To this porter she would be most affair and patronizing. He was in the form of a servant. On the other hand, all of the red blood of her noble (?) lineage rushed to the surface and her frame shook with indignation she had to ride with a colored passenger, on equality with her, even though the passenger had paid the necessary fare. Before any jury of semi-justice this white woman would be justice made to pay the costs of the court. That Mississippi "court of justice" is a farce. The learned judge felt that he was making for himself and his race a great mark in history by holding up and robbing the railway for the sum of the 1,000 as a balm for "the wounded pride of the fair Anglo Saxon lady" who had appealed to him. It is to be regretted that white women who should have within them the milk of human kindness can become heartless and unjust as to do violence to colored people when these people in no way injure them. That colored passenger was doubtless the equal, in one respect, of that white passenger that "bawled." And in others, was superior because the colored passenger wanted every one to enjoy what their money entitled them to. When the courts and white women assume such an attitude toward colored people, it is time for the two races, so far as the South is concerned, to have very little to do with each other. The colored race has at all times been very considerate of white women. During the days of the rebellion, when white men were away from home fighting to keep in bondage the whole race, colored men at home protected white women with the greatest bravery and chivalry. No decent white woman need have any fear of a colored man going beyond his bounds with her. Besides colored men have and are more particular about the virtue of white women than white men have been about that of our women. It is the unusual to find colored men attempting to seduce or betray white women. Sorry we cannot say the same about southern white men who at any opportunity will be nasty to the race which they have defiled and corrupted. "Jim-crowism" is based upon nasty snobbishness and for that reason every man with any sense of right should oppose it with vehement. Superiority of race or individual can not be maintained by unjust laws and snobbery, but only by the possession of those superior virtues of character kindness, justice and fellow-feeling. It is also a sad thing for corporations to be harassed by such petty prejudices as shown in this Mississippi case. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. THE JUDGE NOT TO BLAME THE JUDGE NOT TO BLAME Says Attorney Washburn, a Leading Member of The Elyria Bar— The Inside Facts in The Case. Elyria, O., Dec. 26, 1916. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. Smith:—My attention has been called to an article in your issue of Dec. 23, 1916, purporting to be a letter from Ruth Anna Fisher, of Lorain, O., to Judge H. G. Redington, of Elyria, O., concerning the prosecution of Martin Trowinski on the charge of attempted rape upon a colored girl, and in which Judge Redington was criticised for the sentence imposed in that case. I have investigated the matter and find that a judge has consecutively been done Judge Redington, and I trust you will publish a short statement of the matter showing all that he had to do or knew about the transaction, and you can rely upon me for the truthfulness of this statement. The first knowledge Judge Redington had of anything in connection with this case was when the defendant was arraigned and plead not guilty, and all the judge knew at that time was what the defendant was charged with. Some time later the matter came up for disposition, the prosecutor being present and the defendant being represented by George T. The judge knew nothing then and knows nothing now in reference to the matter except what was told him in open court. At that time it was stated by the attorney for the defendant that the defendant was a man over seventy years of age, and that the state was utterly unable to prove that he committed the crime with which he was charged for the reason that the defendant had been with the girl, he was drunk at the time and no harm had been done her; that an examination by the doctors showed that there had been no penetration or evidence of such an attempt. The evidence of such an attorney stated that there was a technical battery and battery, and that while the defendant had been with the girl, he was drunk was so drunk that he was irresponsible, still he, was willing, on advice of counsel, to plead guilty to assault and battery. The prosecutor attorney, representing the state, acquired in all of the above statements, and recommended that the defendant be permitted to plead guilty to assault and battery. The judge knew nothing about the history of the case, and did not know the parties, and relied upon the evidence of the case, at the bar and the recommendations of the prosecuting attorney, who was supposed to know all the facts, and in doing so the judge did only what is the usual and customary practice, and his fine of $100 and thirty days in jail was an appropriate sentence under the facts as made known to the Court by the officers upon whom the Court had a right to rely. If there was a miscarriage of justice I think you will agree with me that the judge was not at fault in the matter, and that the attorney knew nothing must have been misinformed as to the disposition of the case so far as Judge Redington was concerned. Relying upon your well known fairness in such matters, I trust that you will give this explanation the same prominence in your paper as you did the letter referred to, and I hope you will find the time and the means to do so. I will also as to add your editorial exoneration of Judge Redington of any wrong in the matter, so as to correct as far as possible a wrong impression which the publication of the letter in question created in the minds of your read- CONDITIONS IMPROVE In Spite of The Fact that the St. Louis Welfare Association Employs Counsel to Assist Segregation in That City. By Our Staff Correspondent. St. Louis, Mo.—The St. Louis Uni- ted Welfare Association, not content with the fight that Louisville is making to have the U. S. Supreme Court declare the segregation ordinances of that city valid and upon which decision hinges the validity of the St. Louis ordinance, has employed one of St. Louis' best attorneys to assist in the fight. It is expected that the decision in the Louisville case will be handed down soon. The decision will be made against the city of St. Louis' enforcing the segregation ordinances, has had a most salutary effect on public sentiment here.

It has been up to Congress since 1870, to enforce the 15th amendment; but Congress can not enforce the 14th amendment without acquiescing officially in the mullification of the 15th amendment.—Springfield (Mass.)

This is the first honor that any Afro-American student has ever received in an Iowa college. There are thirty-five Colored men employed as street car conductors in Toronto, Canada. This is due largely to the efforts of J.M. Whitney, editor of The Canadian Observer, seven years ago, was working his way through high school and the Ohio State University. The men all belong to the union, too. so strong, when the fight was at its height, that many white people refused to accept seats on the streetcars if they had to sit beside a colored person. Much of this prejudice has passed away and the old order of things seems again to be in evidence. The public show of racial antipathy. Im more other ways there was evidence of feeling which was caused primarily by the segregation campaign; yet most people seem to have forgotten all about such things, showing the evil such agitation does to the public conscience. It is the firm belief of most white people that the ordinance of the Supreme Court will be against the ordinances. They seem to have faith in the fairness of that tribunal. WHY THEY LEAVE THE SOUTH. Miserable Treatment Accorded Our People in That Section. The following is from the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent of recent date: (gar impenetrable of recent date) Difficulties conditions are reported in the plantation station. Hundreds have come to town from the country and it is said that there are less Negroes in the country districts of the South today than at any time in recent years. The Negroes charge that the plantation owners are not willing to feed them this year; they are not willing to work even even their chickens have been taken from them to pay rent. The boll weevil and the floods kept the Negro farmer from breaking even, and many did not make the price of their rental off the land, but it is said that the landowners in many instances claimed all the garden truck and for this reason they were forced to come to the city. * * * * "In the courts, no matter what may be his intelligence and character, his word is not rated as good as that of a white man's. The latter's word must be preferred, no matter how ignorant or worthless he may be. It is a wonder to us how the Negro has made the progress he has. No people in the world have been so held back and kept down as black folk; and not withstanding this long and well settled policy to hinder and hamper his progress, he is blamed because he sometimes fails to measure up with those who have had superior advantage. It is. It is. It is. The yers at the bar to ridicule and abuse him in open court; and if the word "Nigger" is used one time, it is used a thousand. What must be the effect of this upon the jury and public? It must lower him in their estimation. The younger generation who hears it, looks upon him as a fit object of scorn and derision." In a statement to the voters of the 11th ward, issued Monday, Tom Fleming says he has a "desire to make them a good councilman."

A failure to properly advertise the violin recital at Chamber of Commerce hall, Dec. 27, 16, resulted in an audience about one-third the size it should have been, and would have been with proper advertising. Poor management the cause. It was unfair to both Louia Vaughn Jones and hundreds of his friends who did not learn of the concert until after it was over. Of course his playing was superb as usual and the singing of Mrs. Ruby Slaughter up to her usually high standard. Mrs. C.Biggs work as a accompanist, is also very excellent. She is conscientious and capable. Messrs. John Berry and Harry Ford maintained the high standard of the recital. New and better management should have charge of the next one. The editor of The Gazette regrets greatly that absence from the city, on New Years day, caused him to miss greeting our very promising young violinist, Loula Vaughn Jones, who called at The Gazette sanctum, Monday, and left the following note: "Very sorry indeed not to have seen you on my short stay here, but I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year." He has returned to his studies at the Boston Conservatory of Music. His parents have every reason to feel proud of the success of their son who was born in Cleveland and the plea of Cleveland are also proud of the young soloist.

It Is Golden Brown Velvet, Trimmed With Fur, and a Slight Embroidery of Gold Threads. Brown Brocade Ribbon Is Used on the Sleeves and at the Collar. FOR THE SMALL GIRL AND BOY Fashion's Change in Clothes Worn by Fortunate Youngsters of Today. NO LONGER ALL IN WHITE Velvet in Gay Colors Now Adorne Youngsters of Both Sexes—Coats for the Street, Trimmed With Fur, Are Extremely Smart and Popular. New York.—Emerson may call consistency the vice of small minds, and if this is true, designing minds that govern clothes are free from vice, because they are full of Inconsistency. They present absurd juxtapostions in children's apparel, as well as in that for women. For instance, a fur coat that is warm enough for the poles leaves uncovered bare legs below it that belong in the tropics. The theory of health that has run like a thread through the wrap and woof of our re Coat for a Smart, Small Girl. It Is Fur, and a Slight Embroidery bon Is Used on the Sleeves and cent activities is that one can harden any part of the body by constant exposure and, therefore, free the mind from any thought of danger there. Women who are accustomed to the low evening gown are no more sufferers from cold than women who do not indulge in this practice. The children, therefore, do not consider it dangerous to leave their bodies exposed from the knees down. Starting out with this fundamental fashion, there is an immense variety elsewhere. They must contribute their mite of inconsistency to the picture and having done so, they are free to go along the orthodox lines. Follow Medieval Styles. Powell Medieval Styles. Children have adopted medieval clothes, but this is not announcing a revolution, for they have insisted upon straight lines for years. The real revolution is that they have taken up colors and do not put all their attention on white. Time was when even the mother who was perplexed at the thought of paying a large laundry bill, still insisted upon dressing her youngsters in wash clothes. She looked with hygienic horror at the thought of worsted stuffs Those Who Are Fond of Sleeping Outdoors Will Find This a Gomfort in Cold Weather. One of the finest, lightest, warmest, and in all ways most satisfactory coverings for use on outdoor beds in very cold weather is a light-weight feather bed with removable, washable cover. This is not a new idea, since feather beds were used in the old country years ago for coverings. The cold, crisp outdoor air puts a buoyancy into the feathers that is delightful. You do not feel any weight, as when the bed is loaded down with covers, and are not hampered as in a sleeping bag, but can turn with ease. The feathers follow the curves of the床, no cold air is let in, and one feels as comfortable as if in a sort of thermos compartment. For children dress weights may be sewed in the corners to hold the bed in place. Effective Capes Seal shoulder scarf capes almost as wide as they are long, look very effective when swung over the arm. One seen on the street was worn by a "blue serge girl" recently and was lined with a light pinkish rep crepe. Tied by the satin ribbon neck bow, we swung cornerwise from her arm like a big flat muff, the plink showing prettily as the corners flapped back. A Sewing Hint. If baby's undershirts shrink you can enlarge them, and at the same time improve their appearance by crocheting pieces to the sleeves, necks and down the fronts. The shirts should be bound first, and the crocheting done with a fine hook and saxony yarn, and the edges finished with tiny scallops. New Gloves. Military effects have made their appearance in the glove styles and are shown in white and tan shades. The gauntlets have deep cuffs and give the wearer a decidedly military appearance as well as individual style effect. The general trend in gloves for street use is more toward the mannish type. on these little figures; but the fashions have materially changed in this respect, and after children are eight years old, it appears to be fashionable to dress them in colors and in materials that are not washable. This does not mean that the plaid worsted frock with its little brass buttons, which has seen many generations of children through their schooldays, has any chance of a fashionable revival; but velvet and taffeta are discreetly used for gay occasions. The velvet is permissible for gowns; the taffeta for capricious little bodices. Velvet is not held for girls only; it is being advocated for jauity jackets for small boys, when ornamented with large buttons. Don't shudder with a sickening reminiscence of little Lord Fauntleroy, with his long curls, scarlet sash and nauseating sweetness. There was a day and generation which took this feminine bit of embryo masculinity—if there can be such a thing in the scale of humans—as a model for youngsters' clothes, and it is probable that half the home troubles between mother and boy began with this enforced costumery. The little jackets of today are cut very short, show a loose, frilled, muslin shirt and are worn over extra short white linen trousers. When velvet is made up for a little girl's frock it is in scarlet or blue trimmed with fur and ornamented with Golden Brown Velvet, Trimmed With of Gold Threads. Brown Brocade Rib- at the Collar. stitchery. One party frock for a ten-year-old girl is of dark blue velvet made in two pieces, with a cored seam below the waist. The machine stitching is done with red thread, and at the hem of the skirt, the collar and sleeves there are narrow bands of brown fur, although white petry is better. Street Coats. There are street coats of velvet trimmed with fur and brocade ribbon that are exceedingly effective. Golden brown velvet is the fashionable choice, with golden brown brocade ribbon to make shoulder pieces and imitation pocket flaps. Parts tells us that women's skirts are growing longer and the American dressmakers are at last following this persuasion; but youngsters' skirts are growing shorter. There are little linen slips for tiny children that make no pretense of reaching the knees, and there are velvet frocks for afternoon parties that appear to be slightly elongated jackets, pulled down to meet extra long leggings. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Really Effective Hat That Any Clever Girl Might Fashion for her Own Use. One good-looking hat seen recently in a smart shop would be comparatively easy to make at home. A small band of about two or three inches fitted singly around the head, and this was made of folds of black satin. The crown appeared to be extremely eccentric at first glance, but on closer inspection it was found to be very simple in construction. It was nothing more than a rather high, loose, full-gathered crown of velvet, which had been tacked down on either side near the rear, thus making three high peaks of velvet, one directly in the front and one in either side of the hat. The effect was very pliant, and any girl with a bit of daring could copy this hat easily. Before attempting to construct a hat at home it is a good scheme to visit the shops and get some ideas. A Smart Suit. A striking tailored-costume is in plum-colored broadcloth, with coat and skirt edged in narrow silk braid in plum and black. The skirt has a yoke, and in obedience to fashion's dictates, is longer than skirts have been of late. Most of the fashionable skirts are three yards wide about the hem, but with non-flaring effect Sensible Advice. Clothe yourself comfortably and sensibly. Do not wear tight shoes nor tight corsets, nor tight clothes of any kind. Especially do not tighten the neck in any way; it impedes circulation. Moreover, high, tight collars mar the neck with disfiguring lines; and nothing is more beautiful in a woman than a soft, well-rounded throat. Vogue of Fringe. Fringe is in fashion and it has invaded the realm of art needlework. Some of the new sofa cushions which would make an admirable gift for the girl or boy away to college are of heavy tan crash embroidered in conventional designs in bright colors and finished with wide tan fringe. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1917. PRETTY, SIMPLE HAT --- EASIL* MADE BY ANYONE WHO CAN CROCHET. The most charming little hats can be made from crochet with very little expense and trouble. The model we illustrate here was made for a child of five to seven years. A mushroom shape in buckram is covered with the crochet, the effect being surprisingly smart; it is trimmed with a ruche of ribbon, finished by a bow at side. Any mercerized cotton can be used. Milford's No. 8 knitting cotton and a No. 3 steel hook were used for the one shown here. The following directions will be a help, but the actual number of stitches and increases will, of course, be regulated by the shape and size of the hat; anyone who crochets will, however, know what increases and decreases are necessary to make the work lie flat over the shape. Nearly two balls of cotton will be needed. Procure a shape the size required. Make a ring of 5 chain and work into it as many double crochets as will fit it—the ring should be quite small, so that there is scarcely any hole left in the center. Second row—Draw a loop through the back thread of each of the two nearest stitches of the previous row, draw through all three loops at once and make a chain stitch; *, draw a loop through the chain just made, another through the back thread of the last loop of the previous stitch, one through the same stitch as the last loop was drawn, and one through the next stitch of the previous row; draw through all five loops at once and make a chain stitch. Repeat from * all round. Third and fourth rows—Same as last, taking care the work lies perfectly flat. Fifth row—, draw up the first three loops as usual, then one through each of the following two stitches of the previous row; draw through the five loops and make a chain stitch; repeat from * eight times more, then work one stitch like those in the previous row, then repeat from the commencement of the row, and continue working round and round, making an increase at every Crochet Hat. tenth stitch, or as may be required to spoonthly over the crown of the shape. For the first row of the brim, increase at every fifth stitch, then at discretion until the outer edge is reached; work one row without any increase, after which decrease at about the same proportion as the increase; were made for width of brim, taking care to leave it just large enough to be stretched over the outer edge. Stitch the crochet smoothly and evenly over the shape; turn the hat upside down and work a double crochet through both threads of every alternate stitch of the last row and fasten off. Put in the head lining and trim with a ruche of ribbon or according to taste. ALL QUAINT AND PRETTY Clothes of Parisian Children Have About Reached the Limit in Sartorial Perfection. The frocks worn by children are the quintestile little creations imaginable of velours de laine in brilliant tones or quant old-time colorings. One pretty, dark-hairred child of six wears a prim little cloak of dark red velours de laine trimmed with two-inch bands of black velvet in standing collar, cuffs and band on the bottom of the coat. The lat is of black velvet in the form of a small beret with a peak, and there are white stockings and black varnished shoes; nothing more deliciously naive than this little costume has been seen in Paris this season. Very odd is a child's hat made of beige woolen yarn sewed round and round, one woolen thread against another, onto a small round shape. It is worn with a little knitted mantue of the same color. Paquin makes a small black velvet fez which is trimmed with two small ostrich plumes—one black and one antique red—which are sewed to the side of the fez directly in the back. Another Paquin model is in the form of a borer of black velvet with a tassel drooping over the ear. Is the tip of your second finger of your left hand cut and aching from the sharp point of your steel crochet needle? Is there a callous spot on the second finger of your right hand? The crochet needle may be small, but when it goes astray, and the point plunges into the tip of one's finger, judging by the pain, it seems like a sword thrust. A strip of adhesive tape, placed around each finger tip will protect them, without interfering with the work. Fingers from kid gloves are nice, but if they extend beyond the first joint of the finger they are clumsy to work with. Women Cling to One Color. There are many women who have always adhered to the one-color scheme in selecting their clothes, but not until this season has the idea become so general among women. It is to be hoped that it will continue to grow popular, for, by clinging to the one-color idea, one is sure to appear more smartly dressed than if a combination covered with heavy blue creme embroidered in an all-over pattern with blue silk thread of a very slightly lighter shade. A narrow ribbon of some bright color encircles the base of the crown. These hats appear in different shades of blue, belge and yellow. By contrast, a small hat of rich red velvet is embroidered with blue.—From Vogue. BOTH PRETTY AND EFFECTIVE Use of Lampashade Such as This Will Add Much to Coziness of the Room. When lights are shaded, It is well to see that the shades are both pretty and effective. For this there is nothing more effective than a green card. board shade, although it is by no means pretty, but it can be made quite decorative by covering it with cotton volle of some pretty pattern. A small design should be selected. Cover the shade plainly with the volle, then make a little frill to stand up round top; care should be taken that the hole in the cardboard is large enough to prevent the volle touching the hot lamp chimney; finish the lower edge of shade with a frill put on with an upstanding heading. This is only one way of covering the shades, but many others will suggest themselves to those who are desirous of making inexpensive shades that will be pretty by daylight as well as effective screen at night. College Chair Helps Room The colors of your alma mater, either high school or college, or the colors of a fraternity or other society may be repeated in the Windsor straight-back chair or rocker for the bedroom. One may buy the unpainted chair and enamel it in the selected colors, or have the work done in the upholstery shop. This is a particularly attractive article for the man's den, the bulk of the chair being in the darker color, and the rungs and slats of the back in the lighter shade. When the shades are delicate the girl's room will not be the worse for a college chair. Dressmaking Dressmaking Dressmaking This is one of the most charming of the models that are being prepared for the Palm Beach season. It is of pale-blue taffeta. The underskirt is of pale-blue chiffon, and has a thin band of gold braid running around the hem. A novel touch is added by the old-gold buttons, braid, and waist cords. The design on the pockets and cuffs is of simple design and is also of old-gold color. of colors were introduced. For example, the woman who decides to dress in purple this season should make an effort to have suit, gown, hat, coat and petticant all of the same color. It is not necessary that one should use only one tone of color. This would become monotonous. The wide variety of shades of one color makes such a step quite unnecessary. Anyone deciding to use but one color should strive to introduce the color on every accessory. In the long run the fad is very economical. Darning Wool Underwear Never darn fine woolen underwear with wool. It will shrink and pull out a hole larger than the original. A loosely twisted knitting silk is excellent for the purpose. When washed the darn will have almost the same thickness as the knitted goods. Crocheted Trax Covers The fad for crocheting has even spread to tray covers, and now one sees covers for the bread tray done in flat crochet, with the word "Bread" incorporated in the design. READY FOR SPRING SMART SPORTS SUITS ALREADY BEING PREPARED. Many Features and the Materials of Last Season are Retained, Since They Could Not Well Be Improved On. Forerunners of spring are the smart little sports suits now being prepared, to be shown in the shops in a very few weeks and featured for southern wear during the winter. Silk jersey cloth will probably be just as popular during the coming season as it was during the two or three seasons past. No new material has been introduced that could quite take its place. One of the strong features of the coming season will be the vivid color effects produced. High shades will be extremely popular, and odd color combinations will undoubtedly be seen. A modish little early spring sports suit is shown in the sketch. It is made of corn-colored jersey silk, with trimming of purple taffeta. Of course this color blending or combination may be varied to suit the individual taste and complexion, but purple and corn color have been approved by Dame Fashion; and at the southern resorts certainly apparel that is striking in design and coloring may be worn. The suit illustrated is simple in design, the skirt being three yards wide. 100 Sports Suit for Early Spring Wear gathered in at the waistline and finished with a belt of taffeta, continued into strap ends which button to the belt of the coat in front, give a decorative touch to the otherwise plain coat. Buttons and loops carrying the purple color fasten the coat at the neck. The upper collar may be of corn color and the lower one of purple or vice versa, according to choice. White and high-colored fannies will be developed in early spring suits, and these will be trimmed with soutache braid, leather bands or embroidered bands. New Fashionable Shadow It's a bothersome thing to keep changing, isn't it? And yet, if you wish to be considered smart, you must throw a fashionable shadow. Now, to do that this season you must remove the hoops from your evening gown and let the full draperies just flare enough of themselves to keep a "slinking" or "directotre" look which your silhouette showed several years ago. In your afternoon gown, the silhouette of straight lines predominates. No bouncy here. But when it comes to the topcant, you have some flare again—not too much, because topcant materials are soft and cannot stand stiffly outright. If you indulge in furs you will find an added width to the shoulder line is the result, while the chin which disappeared last winter in the folds of the collar now peeps forth again to view a cold but admiring world. Not New, but a Little Differen Not New, but a Little Different. The French silk and velvet corsage flowers which have been used for a couple of seasons, done up in miniature bandboxes, have returned in the same or even dainter boxes with ribbons bruched at the sides, and there is a difference in the flowers. The heart of each tinted rose or orchid holds a tiny vanity case with all its appointments. MANY METHODS OF TRIMMING Buttonhole-Stitch Edge Is a Favorite of the Moment—Inset Belts on Coats and Jackets. A picot edge on chiffon crepe and gargile collarls, while not out of style, is set aside a little for the new button-hole-stich edge. This is done with silk floss or with worsted, each stitch about a quarter of an inch deep and spaced from one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch apart. This gives a charming finish in these days when so much embroidery is used on dresses. Chiffon blouses, dress tops, blouses and basques now have their edges overbond with a narrow one-eighth or one-quarter-inch band of the chiffon to give just the right degree of solidity to this material. Edges of surprise fronts, collars, cuffs, etc., all show this finish. If the material is taffeta or satin the overbound edge matches. Of course this edge is put on by hand and is often pressed into a fold in the center first to keep it from getting askew. Belts inset into the garment are HANDY FOR ANY OCCASION Girl Will Find Work Case Described Here Useful as Well as of Much Value. A case of this shape is very handy for carrying knitting or crochet, as well as other kinds of work; the length renders it suitable for knitting plus or long hook. It is made from linen of some rather dark color, such as brown, olive green or blue; it may be worked at edges with cross-stitch, a simple embroidery design, or just a line of feather-stitch. The model from which our sketch was taken was in brown linen worked with blue in a very simple cross-stitch pattern. The linen is cut 11 inches long and 10 inches wide; this piece is turned in all round with a narrow hem, then the ```markdown ``` pattern is worked along the two 10-inch ends and one of the 11-inch. It is then turned round to form a cylinder, the embroidery end wrapping a little over the plain end. Circles of double linen with card between are then hemmed round and the outer one is worked with a single line of cross-stitch; these are placed in ends of cylinder and are joined from the plain end to top of cylinder, leaving the rest unjoined for the work to go in. Three loops are worked at edge of the end that overlaps and fasten to buttons sewed below. PROPER TREATMENT OF HAIR Thorough Cleaning After Exposure to Dust is of Prime Importance—Don't Wash It Too Often. To begin with, a thorough cleansing of the hair is the first thing after a railroad or motor trip. For this it is well to begin the night before the shampoo, if possible, and rub either olive oil or petroleum derivative jelly thoroughly into the scalp. This will soften the scalp and any dust or dandruff lodged on it. Any favorite soap or shampoo preparation which does not contain free alkali may be chosen for the shampoo, but whatever is used should be thoroughly rinsed out before drying the hair. If possible, the drying process should be done in the sun, rubbing the scalp gently upward with a rotary motion, and brushing the hair with a clean, rather stiff brush. If the hair is split at the ends, it will be well to clip it or have it clipped. For the next month it may be well to keep at the rubbing of oil into the skin and shampooing each week, although under ordinary circumstances it is not wise to wash the hair oftener than once in three or four weeks. PAY HIGH PRICES FOR FURS Women Desiring Popular Garments Find They Have to Open Their Purses to Get Them. Wholesale dealers in furs who sell only at retail the manufactured products say that the prices in the raw goods have gone up to such an extent that they can now sell pieces made up earlier in the season for less than they would charge for the skins alone at the present time, says the New York Times. Fox, although it has been popular for the last four years, is the reigning favorite in furs, the only thing coming in all colors and appealing to all classes of people—there being, however, all classes of fox. Ermine, the dress fur, is strong, usually made tailless, or with a bunch of the tails as an ornament. Muskrat, or Hudson seal, is strongest in coats and goes well for general purposes. There is no prejudice against it as an imitation these days. Real seal has comparatively little sale. It is expensive to hold, needing frequent repairs, and a garment cannot be remade for less than $100. Transparent Ideas. The transparent idea in the making of clothes seems to be even more in favor than last year. There are serge dresses trimmed with bands of mousse-line de sole or georgiana crepe. These bands graduate in width and are preferably the same color as the serge, although there is once more room for individuality here, as they may be either lighter or darker. Lack of ironclad rules of fashion was never more apparent than in miliyad's boots and shoes. In style they range from something that is barely more than a piece of sole leather tied on to the foot to the skyscraper shoes of the summer. noted in a great many of the high coats and jackets. They are a change from the old wide belts and are more becoming to most figures. Attend to Details Attend to details and the large things will take care of themselves. In this instance reference is made to details of grooming. No woman who wishes to be put down as one who looks stunning can afford to groom herself hurriedly. It is unusual to find a woman of forty taking the proper interest in her appearance. Many women at this age begin to look washed out and unattractive. This is all unnecessary. By proper living, receiving plenty of nourishing food, sunlight, fresh air and sleep and by artificial means artistically applied, one can be just as charming and attractive as in former years. Colored Collars and Cuffs Collars and cuffs of flannel in mauve, light blue, pink, rose, deep purple and corn-flower blue are worn. Some are plain, others beaded and embroidered in colored worsted. THAT MADE AT HOME SUPERIOR TO BAKERS'. When Yeast Is in Good Condition It Is Not a Matter of Difficulty to Turn Out a Splendid Article—Some Hints. (Bulletin of University of Missouri.) Homemade bread, if well made, is to be preferred over bakers' bread, according to Miss Addie D. Root of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The condition of the yeast used in breadmaking is more important than the kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to stand in a dusty place or is put into an unsterilized vessel, it will collect bacteria and the bread will have a sour, unpleasant taste. All utensils and liquids should be scaled before using. Yeastes are small plants which need air. Flour, therefore, should be added slowly and beaten into the liquid thoroughly to incorporate air. Sugar is food for the yeast plant and if given to it will hasten its growth. If dough is too stiff, a harsh, crumbly bread results. The least amount of flour possible to avoid a sticky dough, gives the best bread. The quick even stroke in kneading counts for more than the strength put into it. A thorough kneading distributes the yeast plants evenly throughout the dough and results in bread of the best texture as the gas bubbles rise evenly. Dough should be kneaded until it has a smooth velvety surface. If kneaded longer than 30 minutes, the elastic quality is completely destroyed. Yeast plants thrive at a temperature of from 79 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. When dough is set to rise, it should be placed in a clean bowl. If the bowl is covered tightly and an even temperature maintained, it is not necessary either to oil or moisten the surface to prevent a crust from forming. If the temperature is too high, the bread will be dark, coarse and sour. If the dough is chilled while rising, the volume will be smaller, the texture rubbery, and an undesirable crust will form. Best results are obtained when dough is kept at a gentle, warm, even temperature until it is twice its bulk, and then worked. Baking requires as much care as mixing, kneading and rising. The temperature of the oven should be 360 degrees Fahrenheit when the bread is placed in it. It should be allowed to rise after fifteen minutes and lowered after thirty minutes. The bread should begin to brown in patches during the first fifteen minutes and should have an even, brown surface after thirty minutes. If the dough is not twice its original bulk or as light as desired, it may be allowed to finish rising in the oven. Fancy Cream Cheese Service Cream cheese nowadays is being seasoned in all sorts of ways after being softened a little with cream and butter. Pimentos are dried, stuffed with a rather highly seasoned cheese, so prepared and chilled, then cut in slices to serve as a highly ornamental garnish for a salad, increasing its food value. A pretty thing for the finish to a simple luncheon or for a substantial mouthful for an afternoon tea is the following: Split Boston crackers and toast them. Soften cream cheese with cream or even with milk, put through a pastry tube onto each half of the cracker, completely filling it with a rosette. You may sprinkle a bit of paprika in the middle of a tiny bit of plimento. Riced Oyster Soup. Drain four dozen oysters in a colander; pour the juice into a soup kettle; add one-fourth teaspoonful of black pepper; let come to a boil; skim when near boiling point. In a saucepan boil one quart of milk. When the milk begins to boil pour it into the oyster juice; drop into the combination a tablespoonful of butter in which two tablespoonfuls of boiled rice have been rubbed. Stir the soup constantly to prevent burning. As soon as it comes to a boil the second time throw in the oysters and let scald until the edges curl and separate. Drop salt, pepper, a tablespoonful of butter and a sprig of parsley into the soup tureen; pour the soup into it and serve immediately. Delicate Indian Pudding Boll one quart of milk, sprinkle into it two heaping teaspoonfuls Indian meal, stirring all the time to keep from scorching. Cook 12 minutes, add one teaspoonful butter. Beat all together three eggs, one teaspoonful salt, four tablespoonful sugar, one-half teaspoonful ginger. Add gradually to the milk. Bake slowly one hour. Serve with whipped cream, sweetened with powdered sugar and one teaspoonful vanilla. This is very delicious. English Tea Cake. Take one cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter (melted), one teaspoonful each of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon, one cupful sour milk, two cupful flour, one teaspoonful soda (well-rounded), one cupful raisins. Mix the sugar and spices together, add the butter and cream well. Put soda in the sour milk and add to the mixture, stir in the flour, and last the raisins, well floured. No eggs. Pond Lily Salad. Boll six eggs thirty minutes. When cold remove shells and cut eggs in halves crosswise. Cut whites in strips to resemble petals and lay on small lettuce leaf, with one-half yolk in center. Shred the largest lettuce leaves, arrange in bottom of platter, pour dressing over, then lay the lettuce leaves and egg and garnish with radishes. Wire Rods. Often in a country bungalow or up in the attic loft we desire to put up curtains, but do not care to spend any extra money for curtain rods. Strings will sag after a time, but an excellent substitute for a rod is a wire stretched tight.
