IN DUTION HONOUR AND VERSATILE THIRTY FOURTH YEAR Uruguay Progres THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO. 32. Uruguay the Progressive RECENT dispatches stating that the republic of Uruguay was planning to adopt commission rule, indicate the rapidity of progress in some of the South American countries, a progress with which few dwellers in North America are acquainted. Uruguay, the least of the independent South American nations, is in some respects the most advanced country on either of the western continents. Not in any other land are to be found such splendid horsewomen as those of Uruguay; they learn to ride when children and they equal feats of riding the daredevil guache of the plains. The country is given over mostly to cattle raising and kindred industries, although the soil is said to be administratively adapted to agriculture. There is an absence, however, of the great ranches that distinguish Argentina. The lowest percentage of poverty in either of the Americas belongs to Uruguay's distinctions. The nearest approach to a universal eight-hour day in its industries of any country on the American continents also is to be found in Uruguay. The charities of the country are administered by a governmental commission, which has a method of reaching each individual case. The little republic has a public insurance system, owns a large share of the electric and power plants in the principal towns and plans a sweeping economic program that will bring every public utility under government ownership. Uruguay is tired of political parties; that is why it years for commission rule. It now has a president and a two-house congress. The representatives are chosen by direct vote every four years, the senators by electoral vote. The two houses of the congress elect the president, who serves four years. A permanent committee composed of two senators and five representatives takes the place of congress during recess and assists and advises the president on legislative matters. In this respect, at least, the Uruguayan congress is on the job more than that of the United States. Under Uruguay's proposed commission plan both the advisory committee and the president would be dropped and a commission of seven men would rule, all of them being constantly on the job. Each would have a six-year tenure of office [Image of a long line of people walking along a road] ON A URUOUAYAN RANCH and all would be selected by congress, whose powers would be greatly curtailed under the proposed rule. Only more than par value of the go coin of any country. Its exports have for a number of years, kept well ahea its Climate and People. Gifted with the nearest to an ideal climate to be found in the western world, Uruguay has done much to develop its natural resources and to make life congenial for its people. The average temperature for the summer is only 72 degrees and for winter is 55 degrees. As a result of the highly favorable climate the physical characteristics of the Uruguayan people are remarkable. They are taller, finer set-up and have clearer complexions than any of the other South American peoples. There is less of the Indian in them, too, than in any of the other dwellers on the southern continent. The country has a fairly complete system of railroads, three of which are guaranteed by the government—that is, a certain net income is assured to them each year. The country is going in for good roads very rapidly and macadamized roads extend for about forty miles outside of Montevideo, the capital and chief city. As Uruguay has made efforts to attract a substantial type of immigration, the population is of diverse origin. At present the Spanish and Italians predominate, Spanish being the language of the country. There are several Swiss and German colonies, however. The immigrants are closely scanned, for the country wants none that will swell its low rate of pauperism. At one time the Uruguayan government offered to immigrants not only free land, but the means to purchase the needed farm stock and implements. However, the increase in population has been so marked of late years that no extra inducements are now offered to new settlers. Women Are Beautiful. The Uruguayan women are, said to be more beautiful even than the women of Chile. They are more democratic, more inclined to the new order of things than the women in most Latin Women Are Beautiful. countries. Not in any other land are to be found such splendid horsewomen as those of Uruguay; they learn to ride when children and they equal in feats of riding the daredevil guachos of the plains. The country is given over mostly to cattle raising and kindred industries, although the soil is said to be admirably adapted to agriculture. There is an absence, however, of the great ranches that distinguish Argentina—the Uruguayan lands are more broken up into small holdings. Frequently the guachos or cowboys are part owners of the herds, serving only in subordinate capacities because the ranchero is better fitted for handling business. The Swiss colonists, besides taking with them the customs of their own land, have established the dairying and cheesemaking industries with which they were familiar in Europe. They also took with them a knowledge of vineyards that has resulted in the introduction of a new source of wealth to Uruguay. Manufacturing has made little progress outside Montevideo, where live nearly a third of the country's 1,500,000 people. However, many of the factories in the busy seaport capital would do credit to any flourishing American or European city. It is in the workshops and manufacturing plants of Montevideo that the government has imposed the eight-hour day, not alone because of the greater efficiency brought by the short day, but because of the feeling that the workers must have ample time for recreation. Montevideo is one of the leading cities in South America, both in natural advantages and the beauty of its architecture. Keeps Its Currency Value Up. Uruguay is financially one of the most substantial countries in the world. It has a paper currency, but its peso can be exchanged for slight LYMAN RANCH ly more than par value of the gold coin of any country. Its exports have, for a number of years, kept well ahead of its imports. In a recent year they stood: Exports, $65,142,000; imports, $50,666,000. The combined acreage of the country is about 50,000,000, of which about 40,000,000 acres is devoted to grazing and pasture land. A serious effort is being made by the state to reforest a part of the land and rewards are offered to private persons who plant and care for trees on their land. The government also appropriates a large sum annually for agricultural shows in each of the 19 departments or states. The government has given $100,000 for buildings for the Rural association of Uruguay, which holds an annual gathering at Montevideo. Europeans enjoy equal rights with natives under the Uruguayan laws, but these laws are strictly enforced. Owing to the low percentage of poverty and the prevailing temperance of the people, the percentage of serious crime is said to be below that of virtually all other American countries. W. H. Koebel, of the widest-known authorities on South America, says "In the matter of sobriety Uruguay can easily allow points to almost any other nation. Only a small proportion of crime is caused in Uruguay by either dishonesty or drink." Uruguayan laws dealing with corporations and investments have been lenient in the past, but a movement has been under way for same time to give private capital fewer advantages, at the same time extending state ownership and control. Education is compulsory and the schools are under state supervision even to the normals and universities. The voting age begins at twenty years only men being permitted to vote. But the right of franchise is not so freely or rashly given as in this country. The would-be voter must pass a literacy test before he is permitted to register. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. WAR OR PEACE AT END OF JOURNEYS WAR OR PEACE AT END OF JOURNEYS Ambassadors Gerard and Bernstorff Simultaneously Return to Home Capitals. Gerard Protects From Spies a Mysterious Black Bag for Thousands of Miles. New York City. — With the arrival of Count von Bernstorff in Berlin and James W. Gerard in Washington, the most dramatic race known in history—a race between war and peace—enters into its final fateful stage. By a curious coincidence the two ex-envoys reached their respective capitals on the same day. Simultaneously with Count von Bernstorff's arrival in Christianity, the first European port to be touched by the Frederick VIII, telegraph and radio were set buzzing with reports and rumors of new negotiations between Germany and America. For the former imperial German ambassador in Washington it means the beginning of the fight for his life, a fight against staggering odds. Its success or failure will spell peace or war between America and Germany. Bernstorff left Washington with the iron determination to bend might and main, to raise heaven and earth, to prevent open conflict between the two nations. No Statement From Gerard. As for ex-Ambassador Gerard's views and intentions, no repudiation has yet come from him of the column of indirect quotations sent from Havana by correspondents who were with him in Germany and made the return trip with him — quotations which clearly put him on record as a violent German hater. Whatever the facts may be, Bernstorf counts the returned American envoy among his most powerful protagonists in the battle royal he has just set out to win. Mysterious Black Bag. Washington, March 15. — A moderate size black leather bag containing documents of gravest moment brought from Berlin in the personal care of Ambassador James W. Gerard, is safely locked in the vaults of the state department. During his 7,000 miles journey, covering a period of more than four trying weeks, Ambassador Gerard and the bag have not parted company for a moment. Both are safe and sound and carefully protected in the capital of the nation. Mr. Gerard's meeting with President Wilson has been postponed until the chief executive is entirely recovered from his present indisposition. MAY BE NO LEAGUE BALL MAY BE NO LEAGUE BALL Teams in Training Apprehensive of Railroad Strike Effect Macon, Georgia. — Baseball this season would be paralyzed along with industry, in event of the railroad strike. It was the subject of much thought and more talk in camp here. There are 16 big league and as many more Class AA outfits training in the south. All would be marooned if the threatened tie-up occurred. "Wild Bill' Donovan and Harry Sparrow, the business manager of the Yankees, are planning to bring their men back home if the strike is called. They could do this by shipping them in automobiles to Savannah and then brave the submarines in a steamship along the coast to New York. The tour, of course, would be abandoned. 'Be Seated.' Is Only Penalty Freeport, Illinois. — After hearing testimony in the case of George Reitzell, indicted five years ago for violation of the Mann act, Judge K. M. Landis in the federal court sentenced him to "sit for five minutes in a chain in this court room." At the end of 30 seconds the judge commuted the sentence and told Reitzell he was free. The court said the primary object of the Mann act was to stop commercialized vice rather than to punish personal indiscretions. One Hospital for Four Counties. Ashtabula. — Initial steps for the construction of a tuberculosis hospital for Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake and Trumbull counties were taken at a meeting of the Ashtabula County Medical society. It is proposed to build a hospital capable of handling 50 patients, both insipient and chronic cases, for about $60,000, divided among the four counties according to the tax duplicates. Steel Trust Fate in Court's Hands. Washington, D. C. — The future of the United States Steel Corporation—permanence or dissolution—now rests with the supreme court. Arguments, extending over four days in the federal anti-trust suit, were concluded by Solicitor General Davis. Definite general proposals for disintegration of the corporation were made in behalf of the government. The solicitor general proposed, first, that the holding corporation be "required to release its hold on the constituent subsidiary corporations." RAILROAD MEN AND CHIEFS IN SESSION Duration of Conference on Demand for Eight-Hour Day Basis is Uncertain. St. Louis and New York Shop Chairmen Vote to Strike According to Plan. New York City. — Emergency measures for the calling of a general railroad strike were completed in New York. The shop chairmen of the four big railroad brotherships, for the membership working on railroads entering this city, voted unanimously for the strike, which has been called for Saturday night. Sixty-nine chairmen were present. Shop chairman in St. Louis, the last of the groups to vote on the measure except New York, had just voted for the strike order. The strike question was referred to the shop chairmen because a question had been raised as to whether the strike vote of the 400,000 members taken last December was still legally in effect. The action of the shop chairmen throughout the country provides for a strike of freight engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen in each of the districts, successively, until the effect of a general strike is achieved. The plan provides for the tieing up of the passenger service on all roads next Wednesday. The four brotherhoods chiefs attended the meeting here at which the final strike vote was cast. At its conclusion they returned to their hotel to discuss the course they were to take at their conference with the general managers of the railroads. In Conference Hours or Minutes. The railroad chiefs at the same time were laying their own plans. Twelve members of the national conference committee of railways held a protracted meeting. One of the members, referring to the momentous meeting which is taking place today, remarked: "It may last for hours and it may not last ten minutes." The attitude of all the railroad managers was as sternly uncompromising as that of the brotherhood chiefs. The meeting of the four brotherhood chiefs with the railways conference committee began at 11 o'clock this morning at the Grand Central terminal. Rejects Adamson Law Decision. W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Tralmen, the spokesman for the chiefs, asserted that the decision of the supreme court on the constitutionality of the Adamson law would in no way affect the strike action. He said: "We are going ahead just as if there were no Adamson law. We will proceed as if there was no supreme court decision pending. So far as the Adamson law is concerned, the test case on it was arranged between the department of justice officials and the railroads, and we had nothing to do with it. In fact, we did not know of the first test case that was brought until 12 hours after it was started." More Troops at Newcastle Newcastle, Indiana, — Calls for additional companies of the Indiana national guard to patrol the darkened streets of Newcastle and prevent the looting of the district which was destroyed by a tornado were sent to Gov. James P. Goodrich. The death list was placed officially at 19 in Newcastle and four in Hagerstown, a few miles to the east. The troops which have guarded the district against looters since the storm Sunday night, have become exhausted. The beats of the sentries were lengthened to let part of the troops rest and pending the arrival of fresh soldiers. Three thousand men will be turned into the district today to clear away the debris. Suffrage Vote in New York Suffrage Vote in New York. Albany, New York. — The resolution to provide for a referendum on the woman suffrage question at the state election next November was passed in the senate by a vote of 39 to 7. The measure now goes to the governor. Stop Amateurs if War Comes Washington, D. C. — Every amateur wireless station in the United States will be dismantled by order of the president if war comes, according to authoritative announcements. This would be one of the first moves to protect military and naval plans. To Defend 'Essen of America.' Bridgeport, Conn. — The United States has taken the first step in preparation for the defense of Bridgeport, "the Essen of America." Plotters "Took In" Germans Plotters "Took In" Germans. New York, N. Y. — The German embassy "squandered" approximately $250,000 on a little group of three men now under arrest here on charges of promoting a gigantic rebellion in India in the interests of German propaganda. The men are Chandra Chakraberty, Heranda L. Gupta and Dr. Ernest Mathias Sekunna. After a five-hour talk with Gupta, the federal officials reached the conclusion that the German embassy had been "taken in" by the plotters. PERFECTING PLANS FOR RAIL STRIKE PERFECTING PLANS FOR RAIL STRIKE On Eve of Conferences Both Sides Decline to Proffer Terms of Settlement. In Event of Strike Passenger, Mail and Milk Trains Will Run For Five Days. New York City. — The scene of action of the threatened national railway strike is transferred from Washington to New York city. Arrangements are complete for several meetings here. It was apparent that neither employer nor employee were confident that the strike would be avoided. Spokesmen of the 400,000 employees of the freight and passenger services of the trunk line roads of the country apparently were going ahead with plans to attempt a tieup of service Saturday night. Chiefs Issue Statement. Washington, D. C. — Declaring that the problem of an eight-hour day on the railroads of the country should be solved "and industrial peace restored before our country becomes involved in war," the presidents of the four great railroad brotherhoods, in a public statement here, announced that the employees of the railroads in the southeast had endorsed their latest eight-hour day demand. The brotherhood chiefs said they would "once more seek a peaceful settlement" at a conference with the railroad managers in New York on Thursday. They declared that the railroads had sought to postpone final settlement of the employees' demands "until either a war or a panic" should halt the negotiations. Some Trains for Five Days. Chicago, Illinois. — The general conference committee of railroad managers in New York will refuse, definitely, to grant the eight-hour day with 10 hours' pay Thursday, is the prediction of railway officials in Chicago. They said President Wilson then will intervene, as the strike situation has been in his hands since last August. The chief executives of the brothers-hoods also explain why the passenger, milk and mail trains will be permitted to run for five days. They state that the object is to inconvenience the people as little as possible, but that it also was true that in strikes that lasted any time, passenger trains are run to a lesser degree. President Plans Action. President Plans Action. Washington, D. C. — President Wilson will act promptly and decisively to prevent any general tie-up of the commerce of the country through a great railroad strike while the nation is confronted with the dire possibilities of the present international situation. Although confined to his room, the president was in close touch with the railroad situation. He conferred at length with Secretary of Labor Wilson, who has been watching the developments in the railroad controversy closely and received a detailed report of the present situation. Under his direction the federal board of mediation and conciliation will be prepared to act at once and to exert all of the influence of the federal government to prevent a clash between the railroads and their employees. A BETTING PROPOSITION Shipping Men Wager Liner Will Get Over in Safety. New York City, — With the prospect that an American line steamship will soon leave port equipped with defensive armament, shipping men are showing the greatest interest in her voyage, and betting is rife upon the probability of the vessel's safe arrival on the other side. One large bet made in a broker's office in Broadway was $1,000 to $500 that the steamship would make the round trip without even seeing a submarine, much less being attacked. Another wager of $250 to $200 was made that the liner would get over in safety. Other wagers were made that, even if attacked, the gunners would be able to fight off the submarine. Germans Had Forty Agents New York City. — The number of agents engaged by Capt. Franz von Papen and Wolf von Igel-to foment revolution in India is placed at forty by the federal authorities. These men got from $40,000 to $100,000 each. The one thing that is holding back the prosecuting officers is the legal difficulty of proving a case against the accused. While admitting the receipt of large sums, the three men under arrest declare that they did not carry out their promises. Hope System a Failure Columbus, Ohio. — The campaign to establish an honor system in examinations for Ohio State university has been a failure, two members of the faculty believe. Instead of originating with the students, it was something to be forced on them from higher up, Prof. A. M. Schlessinger says. "The posters started on the assumption all students are dishonest," Prof. C. E. Parry said. "This is probably the reason posters were torn down in some instances." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE INFAMOUS FILM 'THE BIRTH OF A NATION' The Beatty Bill Passed and Killed--The Photoplay Opens in Cincinnati--Wilbur King 'Roasted' Special to The Gazette The following from a local daily pa- per of Mar 1, 17, is self explanatory: *The following from a local daily pa- per of Mar 1, 17, is self explanatory:* Answers King's Statements: Editor Monitor: noticed a notice of Friday, Feb. 23, relative to the immigration of southern Negroes to Columbus. Mr. King, a Negro, states the colored element here has steadily discouraged any move to bring southern Negroes to this city, and attempts to prove with the head of the chamber publicity bureau that Columbus industrial and constitution plants are not using colored labor to any extent. Colored members here lately have invested considerable numbers and if the majority of them come as those of the past have, and also have represented themselves, the Negroes of Columbus certainly need them, for at present we have Negroes from the south doing mechanical work creditably in all parts of the city; construction work especially, and they have been here for over six months. Are these men a credit to the race? Aren't they coming to the region for education to come? Aren't these mechanics doing work Columbus colored men cannot do? Why should they not come here when the opportunity presents itself to them? These men were not sent for by any member of the race but by white business gentlemen of Columbus. Mr. King, you know that you are not a progressive, but a retrogressive man. You do not look ahead, but behind you. It seems very strange the attorney, being a resident of this city, would be involved in the race. Now a real leader would be spending his energy in the direction of helping the south Negro to obtain his rights to a decent living, instead of looking back to the 60's. Can any intelligent Negro give Mr. King credit for his statements before the citizens of Columbus to depress our race? CHAS. STEEL. The foregoing is not at all surprising to most people here who remember how Wilbur E. King of this city and Chas. Cottill of Toledo have for twenty-five years or more kept themselves in one political job or another, state or local, by catering to white politicians when in office, particularly, and when out (at short intervals) as a rule, steadfastly refusing to become active in fights for racial uplift in politics, etc. These two men, like others in the state have never been of practical use people, thou posing as "leaders," but have always "looked out for number one" and left the balance of the race to shift for GEORGE R. DORSEY. itself, as far as they were concerned. Therefore, it should not surprise our people of this city, to say the least, to have Mr. King take sides with a few whites against our poor brothers from the south who are in this and other cities of the North because they have been literally driven from their homes, by mistreatment that "smells to high heaven," to seek a haven of refuge in the North for the purpose of getting a little decent treatment, wages, school facilities for their children, and in many cases to save their lives. In such cases their families. Most of them have been brought to the North by big corporations, plants and other business concerns, too. Such Negroes as King proves himself to be, in his letter to the Monitor, have for years been and still are THE BANES OF THE RACE, O Lord; how long O, how long? OHIO STATE BEATS CORNELL DEBATERS. Judges, Two to One, Support Conten- tion for Universal Military Service —Colored. Orator Makes Fine Impression Ohio State won its first intercollegiate debate for two years, when the affirmative team defeated Cornell at Ohio State chapel, last (Saturday) night, on the question: "Resolved, That the United States should adopt universal military service." The verdict was two to one, rendered by Judges Oscar W. Newman and Thomas de la Cruz of Ohio State court and Professor Thomas C. Truchard of the University of Michigan. The debate was heard by 750 persons. The victorious Ohio State trio brought forth these reasons for desirability of universal* service: The United States is faced by an urgent military need; universal military service is the only solution to the problem; it is to the economical, political and social benefit of the country to adopt it. Colored Orator Debates. "To defend the Monroe doctrine, foreign acquisition and political and commercial possession, a large defensive force is necessary," contended J. Dudley Sears, first speaker of the affirmative. George R. Dorsey, second speaker, colored, spoke concerning the futility of partial service, because of its inadequacy, inability to get enough men prepared before war and the needless expenditure of lives of untrained men in the war. John W. H. Blanchard outlined the arguments of the negative, claiming that universal military service is u necessary, unfair and un-American. Points Out Unfairness. Daniel T. Gilmartin, second Cornell speaker, advanced the belief of the unfairness of compulsory service to those who need to give time and money to families, and pointed out how it would work a hardship on the laboring people. "American individualism, not militarism," was the appeal of Henry Klauber, last Cornell speaker. "Whitearm," he added, "is taking away the "2-4" to speak or think as a civilian." Ohio State will debate the negative side of the same question at Madison, against Wisconsin, March 23. "Columbus Ohio State Journal, March 11, 1917.

I do exhort your readers to take up their efforts to lead the Colored citizens of Ohio to wise and successful political action." "FREDERICK DOUGLASS." A STRONG APPEAL BY A ST.LOUIS JEW FOR EQUAL RELIGIOUS OPPORTUNITIES AND AGAINST SEGREGATION. "JIM-CROW" Y.M.C.A'S Forerunners of Other Forms of the Color-Line—He Says the Christian Religion Does Not Prove Sufficient to Make All Men Special to The Gazette. St. Louis, Mo.—In a previous letter to The Gazette, I called attention to the fact that the campaign in this city for a colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. had met considerable opposition among certain well informed, influential men, because of the segregated nature of the movement. Present indications are that the force arrayed against such ("jim-crow") propositions is gaining in power here, as elsewhere in the north, and there appears to be no compromise in sight. This opposition is founded on three facts that stand out in bold relief: 1. The money donated to "colored or jim-crow' branches," is given to institutions DOMINATED by WHITE men and the race is made poorer by exactly that amount. 2. Y. M. C. A.'s and other institutions supported by our men should recognize no race or color line in accepting members. 3. The title to ALL such property should be held in the name of OUR organizations. During the last few years, considerable impetus has been given to these movements, and the fostering influence has been among white men of prominence who consider themselves "the best friends" of the race. They have given liberally of their time and means to make these organizations successful, yet the principle involved in accepting these benefactions is of vital concern and occupies, more and more each day, the attention of our more thoughtful men. The question of accepting positions as the wards of others, as though we are incapable of managing our own institutions and at the same time allowing ourselves to be set off to one side behind a racial barrier, is momentous. The answer to the conundrum seems to be involved in the matter of control. When propositions of such vital interest to the race are undertaken, they should receive the widest publicity from our press and the most dispassionate discussion. This is not done, in many cases, because the campaigns, enthusiasm and people sweep off their feet with a glamor or large accomplishments. The white press is apt to withhold whatever conflicts with its opinions. This was done in the case of the letter below which was mailed to a friend of mine during the heat of "both" local segregation campaigns; ACACA presidential segregation and the other FOR, M'K. segregation. The writer, who is a Jew and personally known to my informer, says the Post Dispatch failed to publish his letter. It is given verbatim: SEGREGATED YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS "Editor, St. Louis, Mo., Post Dispatch. "Dear Sir,—Of all institutions that would tolerate the idea of putting individuals off to one side because of the accident of race or color, it seems that a CHRISTIAN institution would be the last to even consider such a case. And up until now, who set themselves up of the teachings of the Savior of mankind are the ones that take the most pronounced stand promoting such segregation. "There seems to be no hope of ever bringing about an understanding between the Jew and the Gentile from a religious standpoint for a very good reason. The Gentile has failed to make the Jew see the consistency in the Christian religion, because he doesn't believe in it himself sufficiently to practice it. He tells the Jew that he should be a servant of the Lowly Nazarine, who taught the real efficacy of the greatest thing in the world—love. He tells the Jew that he should make the Gentile accept the Jew as his brother. In some cities the Jew is not only made uncomfortable in his living quarters, but a knowledge of his nationality is sufficient to keep him from occupying positions that he might otherwise hold, and only recently has the segregated Jewish ghetto been abolished in Russia. "A similar spirit of prejudice is shown towards the American born colored man, and is practiced in some of the largest Christian institutions such as the Young Men's Christian Association. To have a Negro departing from the United States, the Christian Association is quite as mischievous un-American, and un-Christian as to have a "jin-crow" department in a railroad train. The same principle is involved and should be frowned upon by every liberty-loving American citizen, and especially the American Negro, who helps to make a stepping stone more undesirable segregation measure, an institution built upon such un-American, un-Democratic, and un-Christian principles. A JEW." In all the criticism against segregated movements, whether of a residential nature or in those institutions which should teach THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN AND THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD, there is no evidence of any desire on the part of any one to fail to recognize that racial peculiarities attract likes; yet there is a strong dislike for the assumption that black men are more rural endowment, there should be the least encouragement given to the converse proposition—that colored men and white men cannot serve God to good purpose under the same roof, if they so choose; or that colored men must be set off to themselves because the "good" of the greatest number demands such a condition. The artificial restrictions which are subtly imposed are such that they automatically regulate the behavior of men in no wise receive the sanction of the better minds of either race, for they will undoubtedly react to the detriment of both.

Milling Wheat Scarce. Chicago, Illinois.—Millers in all sections of the country report a great scarcity of desirable wheat, with trouble in securing supplies to meet the moderate demand for flour. The best grades of the 1916 crop are selling considerably above the $2 level and it is feared that before another crop of wheat is available there will be such increased difficulty in getting supplies that the present price of wheat will look cheap.

If It Is Only a Little Closet She Is Going to Have It—Puts Living Conveniences First of Some sort of a sewing room, no matter how small, is usually to be found somewhere in the plans when a house is being built under the eye of the woman who is to live in it. It may be hardly more than a closet with room for one little table and a chair; the sewing machine can be kept in the hall, if only there is some place where pasted gores and scraps of silk can be shut out of sight between sewings without being packed away. But not all houses are built under the eyes of the women who are to live in them, or of anybody else who puts living convenience first of everything. Plans are still being drawn that spend many square yards on front hall and then cannot afford to go space to a sewing room; the housekeeper who settles down in the completed house must take what she can get and put her wits to work to fit a sewing corner. Finding a place for a sewing corner is in most cases a matter of finding a corner in the living room. A bedroom is an unsuspectable place to spend an afternoon, and even in steam-heated houses it is not always very warm. The living room, moreover, is the one room that in the up-to-date barn-with-cubyholes style of house planning profits by floor space that has been saved from tiny dining room and bedrooms. The corner must be a well-lighted one, and if possible it must have a sewing screen; with these two advantages, and a rocking chair that is just right for sewing, it is almost as good as a separate sewing room. The sewing screen must be a low screen. The worker needs all the light she can get and she does not care to be shut away from the rest of the room, or to help set the stuge for an eavesdropping scene. About thirty-two inches has been found to be a good height; sometimes there is a small table in the corner, and the screen is a little higher so as to hide the top of the table. If there is no table the screen may be fitted with hinged drop covers that unfold to form a little low table at each panel of the screen. Cretone shirred into a pocket over the lowest third of each panel holds the unfinished work, and wood crosspieces near the top can be fitted with hooks for bags, scissors, spools and all the rest of the things that ought to be always at hand. PRETTY WASTE PAPER TUB An Inexpensive and Handy Contrivance That Is Easily Made and Has Many Uses. The handsome paper tub shown in our sketch can be easily made from a tub or barrel of a suitable size. Not too heavy a barrel should be selected for this purpose; a lightly made small barrel that has contained fruit or tobacco may be procured for a trifle, should one not already possess a suitable article. The exterior of the barrel is draped with soft silk, arranged in plains and fastened on at the top and bottom with tacks. The interior of the tub can be lined with sateen, or if preferred it can be lined with pieces of dark greca or brown paper cut to fit and fastened in place with paste. The tub is finished off at the top and bottom with ornamental braid fastened on with brass-bended nails of a fancy pattern driven in close together. Metal handles are screwed on on either side; suitable ones for this purpose can be purchased at any ironmonger's. Less expensive material than silk can be used for draping the tub if desired, and it will look pretty and bright covered with cretonne selected of a color to harmonize with that of the carpet upon which the basket will take its place. There is nothing new about the skirt that rolls up at the hem, but America and Paris seem bent on its revival. These skirts are made for the street, for dancing and for afternoon use. The new touch is that they are barreled at the center. The fullness hangs in small plats from the waist, is pulled out to a wider circumference at the knees, and the fullness at the hem is then turned up and attached to a short, tight lining. New Tailored Suit In view of the American woman's invariable objection to drapery in her suits, and in deference to the desire for something extremely simple and in one piece, the tailored skirt for spring, while having broken lines, will express drapery in very limited degree. Thus, instead of being gored and seamed, so as to assume the barrel-shaped, the new "tonnean" skirts of tailored type are often cut in two circular portions; an upper part, extending from the hip to the knee, and a lower part, from hem to knee, these circular pieces being joined in a seam at their THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1917. A SMART WRAP COAT A Gaberdine, velours cloth, cravenette coating and serge are all suitable materials to be made up in this style. The fullness at waist is drawn in at sides by a band that is joined in with side seam and buttons with a point towards front. The collar and sleeves are trimmed with pointed straps. Hat of black velours. Materials required: Five yards 50 inches wide, 16 buttons. PRETTY PETTICOAT DESIGNS New Fad Shows Garment Trimmed With Sprigs of Paradise Feathers. Some fancy net and lace designs in petticoats are elaborately trimmed with vines of tiny roses and ribbon and are very wide, being four to five, even six yards, in width. A new fad shows the petticoat trimmed with sprigs of paradise feathers in place of the ordinary silk fringe. The paradise fronds are interspersed with tiny flowers that trim a series of plaited flouces. The petticoat itself is of silk mousseline. A new petticoat is made of two shades of chiffon. The arrangement suggests two separate garments hung from one belt. There are two flouces that extend to the hips, so that there is no chance of a thickening of the hlp line by a superfluous layer of even so sheer a fabric as chiffon. Green, purple, wistaria, copenhagen, coral, rose, gold, Belgian blue, etc., are all good petticoat colors. Dark colors are worn with plain tailored suits, but are frequently bound or piped with a bright color. Braces are added to some petticators. The best grade of mercerized petticators have similar stripe and floral patterns to those of silk and are made up in as great a variety of patterns. RULES IN USE OF MOURNING Some Information as to What Is Correct When Somber Garb Is Donned. There are some arbitrary rules in the use of mourning. For instance, suede gloves are not properly worn in first mourning. Glace kid are the correct choice. On the other hand, all ornaments such as pins, beads and buckles should be dull jet, as the shiny sort is not considered correct when in mourning. Patent leather should not be worn. The correct choice is dull kid for the house and caftskin for the street. So patent leather purses and bags are not in any sense correct for mourning. Black velvet is anything but suitable for mourning, and satin falls under the same classification. Although women in mourning do not entertain formally and do not accept social invitations during the first few months of their mourning, they do wear evening dresses, if they are accustomed to it. The gowns selected for this should be made of dull, soft materials such as charmeuse or crepe de chine. They may properly be trimmed with black net, tulle or matines, dull jet ornaments, or dull black ribbon. The old idea of making mourning stuffy and cumbersome with much crepe is a thing of the past. It should be as inconspicuous, quiet, comfortable and becoming as possible. widest spread. The result is a very interesting new skirt, narrow at waist and hem and wide at the knee (or point of joining), and, therefore, of barrel type. There will be a difference of at least a yard in the width of this type of skirt through the center and at hem and waist. Black and White Smocks Among the novelties in snocks are those of white linen stenciled in black or made with broad cuff hems, whose tops are appliqued and blanket stitched with black. Snocks of white wool are also trimmed with black, and one or two sports coats have been seen made of black jersey trimmed with white broadcloth or white suede. Double Jersey Coats. Heavy wool jersey in gray and beige colors and burella with lining and trimming of the same material, but of a different shade, are being featured in spring coats. Some of the gaberdine coats are trimmed and lined with dotted foulard, in combinations of colors such as biege and bordéaux, gray and old blue. --- MANY RIBBON HATS MANY RIBBON HATS All Seem to Be Made on Same General Model. Ribbon May Be Used a Dozen Different Ways on Millinery and Very Pretty and Becoming Effects Are Easily Produced. There are a great number of ribbon hats about now, and it seems strange that they are all made on the same model with ribbon which varies only in color or the fraction of an inch in width. As a matter of fact ribbon may be used in a dozen different ways in millinery and at any of the ribbon counters enough scraps of lovely ribbon may be bought for a little to make a hat and a bag, too, if ingenuity is used. For a fresh young face nothing could be more becoming than a hat made upon a small, tight-fitting crown of plain blue panne around the upper crown of which is plaited one edge of an eight-inch-wide Persian ribbon. The other edge is gathered and fastened to the crown about an inch from the edge, forming thus a wide puff or tam crown. The bag to match is made melon shape, the lower half blue panne, the upper Persian ribbon. A plain foundation of net may be covered smoothly with narrow strips of black and white ribbons laid on in rays. The crown may be all black or all white, finished with a contrasting tassel or merely topped by a curious Oriental ornament. Flowered ribbon hats will probably be worn this year in place of the cretonne and chintz ones of other seasons. There is something peculiarly attractive about fine fabrics for headgear, and after the first novelty of these cotton and woolen hats wore off they soon lost favor. As soon as lovely shaded ribbons, ribbons of gold and silver brocade and those bearing clusters and garlands of exquisite nature-rivailing flowers began to be offered for moderate prices, as is the case now, the cheaper materials could not fairly compete. A hat, bag and sash of some lovely ribbon will transform the simplest summer frock into something distinctive, and if a sash does not fit in well with the dress design, collar and cuffs may be made of the ribbon. These are often rendered still more lovely by being velled in organdie or mull edged with quillings of fine lace and insertion, too, if possible. Some o" the most attractive hats being worn in the South are of ribbon completely covered by fine net or organdie. COAT FOR A GIRL 1 Velours cloth, serge or garberdine may be used for this little coat. It has a short-waisted bodice, to which the skirt part is set without fullness; sleeves are set into ordinary armholes; fronts are double-breasted. Hat of white Celt, trimmed with corded ribbon and a small bunch of berries. Material required: Two yards 46 inches wide. The Coat Blouse Remains. With the predictions of the skeptics all to the contrary, it now seems as if the peplum, or perhaps it should be called the coat blouse, is here to stay for the spring and summer months, at least as far as sports wear is concerned. And certainly with separate skirts promising so well for the coming season, there is every reason for believing that this may be the case. They do give a more finished appearance to an uncoated woman, and no one can deny that they allow a great deal of freedom in athletics. A gold coin loses five per cent of its value during 16 years of constant use. Link buttons are used in the front of a Russian blouse holding the opening, especially when the blouse is pulled over the head. More sparingly they can also be seen holding the fullness at the sides or back of the waistline. A smart woman wore a gaberdine dress, the sleeves of which were slit almost to the elbow and held by means of link buttons. In another case a velour one-piece dress was fastened in front with such buttons, and the hat, made of the same velour, showed three such buttons in front on the cufflike brim. Two-Toned Lawn. One of the cotton fabrics just coming out is a two-toned muslin which is lovely as a rainbow. It seems strange that this has not been done before, for two-toned silks have never lost their charm. Green and pale gold, rose and French blue, violet and mauve and a dozen other combinations are bewilderingly beautiful. Some of these fabrics have borders and others may be used with the new border material which is offener than not decorated with Persian designs. RADIUM LACE FOR WAISTS © INDEPENDENT PRESS Pockets are becoming quite a distinctive feature of milady's frocks and dresses. The draped pocket in this gown is strikingly novel and quite pronounced. The delicate blouse is of silk radium lace and paisley geogette and the two go to make one of the most pleasing combinations seen yet. The hat is of the turban style slightly remodeled and adorned with pompon. SLIM HIPS STILL IN VOGUE Barrel Skirt, Hung Low, Permits No Voluptuous Lives in These It has been thought that the loose hip model which is now called the barrel skirt demands a specially curved corset, but this is not true. Corsets cut according to the latest designs are more than ever snug below the waist over the hips as well as in the back and front. The backs and fronts are literally flat and even when this effect is only achieved by widening the waist three or four inches it is done in order to produce the proper outline. Anything but a sung hip treatment would make the new skirts look decidedly frowny, and since the draping usually begins six or eight inches below the waist, and that is set low, there must be a definite line from which to expand. Also most of the arrangements are so devised that from one angle at least a smooth, unbroken line is given. Sometimes two draped scarfs are applied to the sides of the skirt and these leave a slender hip panel plainly visible, sometimes the flare is produced by a straight piece of material drawn across the front of the skirt or shredded into a belt and then left to hang in graceless cascades at the sides. In this arrangement the back of the skirt is treated in a similar manner or is left perfectly plain. In either case the actual hip line is not obliterated nor allowed anything but the slightest curve. Two Tones in Everything. The season's agoy with two-tone effects, lettuce green and gold, beige and wistaria, rose and silver, and among the others every now and then is black over white. It never occurs the other way, however. Some of the very prettiest blouses are of white rather heavy crepe or chiffon velled in very thin black gauze and some women have discovered that while the one thickness transparent sleeves are very unbecoming, making their arms look unpleasantly bare, an inner lining of white tulle achieves perfection. A most becoming blouse is of white georgette veiled in black, box-plated so that the effect is that of a stripe. The neck is cut square finished with a mitered band light embroidered in rhinestones and the sleeves are incredibly full, not only box-platted but gathered as well so that they bulge at the elbows and droop at the wrist me gracefully into a wristband of ebroidery. Feminine Fripperies Jabots are back in favor. But they are never the skimpy jabots of yesterday. They are of cascade variety, designed especially to be worn with a suit of the Incroyable order. There are some very effective gloves for street wear of heavy cream kid, bound with brown and stitched with brown. The paisley rage has extended to handbags. And the newest ones are made either with a metallic clasp or drawn up in a shirring of silken cords, Stencil patterns pursue us still, They have just made their way into the realm of bagdom. Bags of silk are shown in many sorts of stencled patterns and these are usually mounted on metallic frames. A. Blouse Suggestion. Beads on the georgette blouse are now about as common as sands on the seashore, but none the less attractive because so generally used. Until the bead vogue started, georgette was classed as a wash fabric, but anyone who has tried to wash her beaded blouse will find it not only a difficult matter, but a dangerous one, as the beads are apt to rip off or roll the material. Instead of sewing the 'beads directly to the blouse, sew them on bands or plastrons or medallions, and then baste these with firm stitches to the blouse. A pull of the knotted basting and the band can be removed in two seconds before washing the blouse. It is a practical hint, if you must have beads and a wash blouse at the same time. Metal Girdle of Jersey Press A girdle of heavy looking links of oxidized silver was worn recently with a dark green wool jersey gown. The back of the girdle had a square medallion in green enamel simulating a scarab. Narrow Skirt Is Fashion's Edict --- There are some dressmakers who are still holding out that they will not reduce the width of the hems in frocks or suits, but isn't it rather foolish to hold out against a Paris fashion that has been accepted by the American buyers? Naturally a change in the silhouette of the skirt is a drastic thing. It cannot be lightly regarded by dressmakers, tailors or the public. It is in this garment that fashion takes its most serious somersaults. The wrong cut of a skirt puts one more completely out of the fashion picture than one likes. Even the stoic and the philosopher among women cannot successfully stand this test. If a woman cannot buy a new skirt cut according to the new pattern, she will cook up some scheme in the sewing room by which an old skirt can be let out or drawn in. The voice of the prophet was lifted early in the winter, foretelling the incoming of narrow skirts in the early spring, but few listened. The dressmakers shrugged their shoulders, the ready-to-wear manufacturers kept on making skirts with four and five yards S Separate Sports Skirt From France. of material at the hem, and the high-class shops offered to women the skirt that was gathered at the waist and elaborately trimmed from the knees down. Hard to Convert. The reporters kept hammering at the fact that the woman of wisdom should not indulge in bargains that were offered in full and flaring skirts, but a great number of women insisted that if the silhouette changed, it was easier to take the fullness out of a skirt than to put it in. Even as late as the middle of February high-class shops were offering skirts that measured from five to seven yards at the hem. True, these hems did not flare; they hung limply against the figure, but they were not cut according to the prophesied silhouette which has come true. It may also come about that the greater number of women will not take up the narrow skirt when it appears in most of the French models, but if the past is any forecast of the future, the narrow skirt will grow in strength as the spring advances and will become the accepted silhouette of the summer. Women of judgment and advance taste in gowns already consider the five-yard hem a second-class fashion. The openings in Paris, as they have been outlined to this country, can be summed up briefly as advance information to those who are already looking for new spring clothes. A vast number of separate skirts were turned out by the best designers, through the request of the American buyers, it is said. This fact argues that the American woman will take up the separate skirt with a sports jacket or sweater or a separate coat, as she once indulged in a tailored suit. There are fewer tailored suits turned out than usual. The deficit is due to the fact that the men who do this kind of work are under the colors. The one-piece frock, the three-quarter top coat, the separate skirt and the chemise blouse are the garments that are offered instead of the usual coat and skirt of cloth or silk. The majority of one-piece gowns carry loose wraps with them. These capelike garments are made of the same material and faced with an op- No matter how careless that man of yours, there is one thing that he is very apt to be careful of, and that is his necktie. He will actually take the trouble to string it on one of the many wooden and metal tie racks if one is placed conveniently near his bureau or chiffonier. The trouble that most women have to find with such racks is that they allow the ties to collect dust, and present an untidy appearance to the room. Here is an idea that both the man and his tidy womenfolks will appreciate: It is a small wooden tie rack, with a linen cover, which folds over the hanging ties and snaps into place. Anyone can make one of these affairs, and can embroidery or stencling of a monogram to the cover, too, if she likes. Don't make it too hard to adjust, or you will find the lucky man railing against it rather than blessing it. The latest umbrella shows a tiny watch in the strap handle. The conservative umbrella is disappearing. Colored umbrellas are the vogue and Hard to Convert. Fewer Tailored Suits New Umbrellas posing color, and again, they are of another material and color. A dignified house like Worth has put emphasis upon sharply tailored skirts to be worn with separate blouses and topped by jackets that are shorter than any we have worn for two years. These jackets are not fitted to the figure, but are a compromise between a cape and a coat. Worth uses a great deal of serge, also garerdine and the new kind of alpaca which France has been exploiting for two years with little success in America. He also uses a very thin volle and several kinds of Chinese ponges under their various names, such as shantung and tussah. Worth never goes in for an eccentric silhouette, but this season he has thrown in his lot with those who are making narrow skirts. He has produced the peg-top skirt, as we are beginning to call it over here. The American buyers are doubtful concerning the fullness that is put into the waistline of this skirt to make the barrel effect at the hips; the older American woman does not care for a thick, bulky waistline, so our shops over here are working on the idea of eliminating the plats which are used now at the waist belt and are thinking out a scheme of substituting yokes and applying the fullness to the lower edge of them. The High Waistline. Jenny, Doeoullet, Worth and several of their colleagues have introduced the high waistline into afternoon and evening frocks. This is almost as serious a change in the silhouette as the narrowing of the skirt hem. If one is adopted, the other must be, for the low, medieval waistline, which is at the hips, connected with a melon-shaped skirt, is too ugly to think about. Whenever a skirt has been full below the hips and narrow at the ankles, it has been high-waisted. This waistline has been obtained in many ways; sometimes the material is cut to fit a deep inner belt and corded or bound to its upper edge; again, it is plaited in small groups at sides and back. Today the plaits are more universal than the plain effect. The high waistline on evening gowns has to do with the incoming of the First Empire and Directoire periods, both of which have been suggested in several of the costumes that have been turned out by the French designers during the last six months. It was expected that some definite move in this direction would be made at the spring openings, but, evidently, the designers have contented themselves with a few touches from the fashions of those two periods and have let it go at that. Large revers, a high, turnover collar at the back, long, tight sleeves that flare over the hand, and the high-waisted skirt beneath the short jacket are features of the Directoire period. The evening gown with the negligible bodice, the round decolletage and the high waistline, with the skirt that hangs limply against the figure are features taken from the First empire. It is quite evident from the unity shown by the different dressmakers in Paris that they intend to bring in the round decolletage of the First and Second empires. Doeullet is one of the designers who indorses the court decolletage, as it used to be known. This displays the top of the shoulders and arms, somewhat after the 1840 method which became so well known through the Empress Eugenie, who never failed to display her famous drooping shoulders. With these bodices there are ornamental straps that go across the upper part of the shoulder. Few evening gowns have any other kind of decolletage but the round one. The difficult line of the Renaissance is not again attempted. None of the Paris gowns shows any especial or striking novelty in fabrics, although Rodier has been working hard at the production of silks, serges and soft Chinese fabrics. There is no one thing, however, that stands out vividly from the rest and proclaims itself as a desirable. (Copyright, 1917, by the McCure Newspaper Syndicate.) For One-Piece Frocks. All the Chinese fabrics, such as tussor, the new khaki-kool, silk, pongee and Shantung, are among the most acceptable for one-piece frocks and suits. They are embroidered with brilliant floss in primitive designs. Symbolism in embroidery is being strongly taken up by all those looking for novelty. It is easy to get significant symbols from the Indian writings and from the old, ancient and modern Chinese. The designers go to the libraries to copy embroidery motifs from old tablets and mummy cases. the leather strap handle the height of style and convenience. The newest umbrellas are either seen with leather strap handles or white flat handles just touched with the color of the umbrella. Purple is the favorite shade, though green, navy and burgundy are also used. Many novelty umbrellas show a striped border. Colors for Spring.
