--- IN WATCH IN ASSISTANCE TREASON IN NATIONHIT Commission of Any Acts in Violation of the Country's Laws Will Be Vigorously Prosecuted. Washington, D. C. — President Wilson has put his foot down hard on treason. The president has just issued a proclamation warning all citizens of the United States, as well as all aliens domiciled in the United States and owing allegiance to this government; that the commission of any acts in violation of the laws which he enumerates will be vigorously prosecuted. The proclamation sets forth the various acts which the courts have held to be treasonable and are punishable by death. The proclamation follows: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A Proclamation: Whereas, all persons in the United States, citizens as well as allens, should be informed of the penalties which they will incur for any failure to bear true, obedient, and faithful obedience. Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, hereby issue this proclamation to call especial attention to the following provisions of the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Section 3 of Article III of the Constitution provides, in part: Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. For Bone Dry Nation during War. Columbus, Ohio. — James M. Cox is for a "bone dry" nation during the war. He climbed on the band wagon with the following statement: "Without reservation I am in favor, during the war, of turning the grain now used for the making of liquor into food for the family." The governor now stands with a majority of the state officials, headed by Beecher W.-Waltermire, chairman of the public utilities commission, and State Auditor Donahue, who see a "bone dry" nation not afar off.

BOND BILL NOWLAW Goes Through Congress and Signed by Chief. Seven Billion Dollars Is Now Ready to Be Used for War Purposes; Preparing to Sell Bonds. Washington, D. C. -- The United States is now ready to place $3,000,000,000 to the credit of the content allies and to spend $4,000,000,000 toward America's part in the war against Germany. The senate unanimously passed the bill authorizing the issuance of $5,000,000,000 worth of government bonds and $2,000,000,000 worth of short-term certificates, of indebtedness for this purpose. Eighty-four senators voted. Minor Amendments. Several minor amendments to the bill were adopted shortly before its passage, which necessitated that it be sent to a joint conference of senators and representatives. An agreement was reached within an hour, and the measure was rushed to President Wilson for his signature. The signing of the measure by the president immediately placed in operation all the machinery of the government for the floating of the tremendous war-time securities. The first allotment of the bonds, probably totalling near $1,000,000,000, is expected to be placed on the market within two weeks. HUNT SUBMARINE THAT ATTACKED U. S. VESSEL Washington, D. C. — Official reports from Charlestown navy yard at Boston of an attack by a submarine upon the United States destroyer Smith set the naval forces of the United States going at full speed. Officials here were reticent regarding predictions as to what the submarine's appearance on this side of the Atlantic may lead to. Coupled with previous reports that Germany would shortly extend her "war zone" around the coast of Europe to include the entire north Atlantic, the U-boat's appearance was accepted in some quarters as the first step in this direction. All commercial and war vessels along the Atlantic coast have been warned to be doubly prepared for further submarine attacks. Naval vessels have been ordered to keep a sharp look-out all the way from the Grand Banks to Florida. Confirmation of the passing of the torpedo, shot from a half-submerged submarine, within 30 yards of the destroyer. Smith while off the New Jersey coast, was received from naval officials at Boston, New York, and from the commander of the destroyer. Indicted Paper Men Deny Charge. New York City. - Tentative pleas of not guilty were entered before United States Judge Cushman by the seven men indicted on a charge of violating the Sherman anti-trust law in connection with the news print paper situation. The defendants, who were released on $3,000 bond each, are Phillt T. Dodge, president of the International Paper Co.; Alexander Smith, a-Chicago banker; George H. Head of Dayton, O.; Edward W. Backus of Minneapolis; George Chahoon, Jr., G. H. P. Gould and Frank J. Sensenbrenner. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917. BABIES STARVE IN THE STREETS neutral Traveler Paints Harrowing Picture of Pitiful Conditions in Vienna. ONLY THE WEALTHY GET FOOD Men, Women and Children Succumb to Hunger and Want—Gloom and Depression Weigh Heavily on People. London.—From a neutral who has spent prolonged periods in Austria, Hungary several times since the war in a Berne correspondent hears, that never has the Austrian capital been in such a plight as now. Men, women and even children later have succumbed to hunger and want, and he is assured that children have been literally dying in the streets. Nowhere is there enough to eat, he says, except among the wealthy classes and the well-to-do farmers. The organization for the distribution of provisions, is wretched, despite the fact that a "People's Food Office" has existed in Vienna since December 1 last. According to the organ of the Wholesale Purchasing Association of Austrian Consumers' associations, prices have risen, talking Austria as a whole, by 10,147 per cent since the war began, but in Vienna proportionately far more. It is not merely that all societies have become so exceedingly expensive, but that they are not presentable. The few who have money sufficient to purchase enough, but the great majority who have not more, either go constantly hungry or on public kitchens, since the creation have supplied the poor classes in Vienna alone with 32,535 meals, at a total cost of about $215,000. 471.300 Dependents 474,300 Dependents. At the end of 1866 there were also in Vienna alone, 471,200 persons in receipt of government relief grants of assistance in other wards, alone in four of the entire population in the Austrian capital. These government grants since the start of the war until the end of last year have been the sum of 840,000, besides what there is a large number of destitute refugees in Vienna who have the state since the war began $814,050,000. And yet the junglepiston of Vienna has just been waving the public that they must be prepared for worse time still to come in the next two months. The clothing question, especially the problem of how to provide any kind of boots or shoes, is almost as difficult of solution as the food question. Attresses and others, who before the war wore about in elegant funeral shoes, now are clad to wear any east off-footwear, or even clothing, they can get, as also are many girls and women caring their living in offices. Even more necissary is the fuel question in Austria-Hungary. The gloom and depression of Vienna, in short, with its restricted trade service, restricted electric lighting—even in private houses—limited gas consumption and, worst of all, restricted THE WOMEN OF THE WEST Not so long ago the ancestors of these two real American women were lords of great sections of New England that the white man wrested from them. They are the Indian princesses, Wooontoneckanuske and Teeweelemua, otherwise known as Charlotte and Melinda Mitchell, and are direct descendants of the great Indian chief, Massasoit. Just now the two indies are more or less in the public eye for belated appreciation of the goodness of the ancient chieftain to the Plymouth settlers is being considered in the legislature through a bill to pension these, the last of his descendants. The princesses are now living near Middleboro, Mass. They are respectively seventy-one and eighty-one years old. BATTLE STOPPED BY LITTLE BABY ed heating, with a degree of cold seldom experienced, is so disstressing that the neuron who tells this story said if he had not been able to leave he would have lost his reason. The hospitals, public and private, are all overfilled, and death is raping proportionately as great a harvest among the civilian population as among the soldiers at the front. In Vietnam, and indeed, in all the larger Austrian cities, there are now large numbers of houses and business premises to let. Moreover, as little removing as possible is done, because this has become so costly owing to the shortage of labor, of vans and, of horses. In many cases young married women have returned to live with their parents, or several women friends have embubled together to take a flat or house. It is not dwellings alone, however, which are everywhere to let, but rows of business premises, shops, etc., also are standing empty. The fifth Austrian war boon, which was to have been on January 10 fact, and which before that date was an admired as so brilliant a financial success, has not yet been closed, and the banks in Switzerland are being imitated with circuits, some of them married "confidential" and is led by the Vienna Banking association offering all manners of indebtments to the Swissy, to walk into the Austrian spider's piter. "There is not a single Swiss banked bank in Switzerland which has been tempted by these reiterated offers of Austrian war boon. Austria as a matter of fact, is already banked." The government does not give any money to leave the country, even to say for good purposes in Switzerland since the war. Mysteriously Appears Crawling Between Lines Where Fierce Fight Is Raging. Soldiers Forget They Are Enemies and Cause Staggling Each Other New York, NY. Liturgy von Schmidt-Baith a Prussian naval officer who is on the western front, has written for the German newspapers the following remarkable incident which he and his men witnessed recently: "Domenow vor... what in hellish noise? About me shells are bursting and all around me is the rat hat of machine guns. "It is just before dawn, and the fog is so thick that one can secrely see a yard ahead. All we know is that our troops during the night stormed and captured the French village over yonder. I want to see how our left wing is stimulated, and therefore ride to the village where the enemy's bullets are falling as thick as ballstones during a heavy thunderstorm. The dog continues thick, but it is not cold. "I find a shelter where other cavalry are taking a little rest and at once proceed to get some needed sheep myself, ordering the lieutenant to cause me in case of necessity." "Suddenly I am awakened by a peculiar, uncomfortable stillness—as is the case often when a sheep is awakened either by a sudden noise or the cessation of noise. Baby in Battlefield. "As I emerge from the digout the honour winks at me somewhat mischievously and points directly in front of him. Carefully I raise my head over the top of the trench to get a view of things. "The sun had risen and the fog had disappeared. In front of us is a mendow, and there, midway between our trenches and those of the enemy, is—God. It is impossible; it must be a deblusion—a Fata Morgani; but no—there in the middle of the field, crawling on hands and knees, is a little child, a baby. It appears perfectly happy and contented, and seems to be enjoying itself. Not a sound is to be heard, not a shot is fired. Every man has become dumb from amazement. "A child has fallen from heaven!" "A child has fallen from heaven!" cries a soldier near me. "Well, that is about the case, for where else could that child have come from? "Before my weary brain can summon up any convincing reasons how that child got out there—whether some poor mother lost it in the panic due to the battle of the night before—a German soldier jumps out of the trench and runs to where" the child is crawling about. Absolute stillness prevails in the trenches, and only to our right, from which this extraordinary sight is hidden by a clump of trees, the sound of gunfire heard. Like Peaceful Island. "And this spot, which all through the night had been a vertible inferno of shot and shell, is now like some peaceful island or a cool, friendly casks in a burning desert." "Over there in the enemy's trenches we can see the helmets of the Frenchmen as they peer over the edges. No GIRL NOW BOARDING OFFICER ON COAST San Francisco—Women have long served Cabin Sam in the many branches of his affairs in this city, but now a new field has been invaded. Miss Elizabeth Clark, young and pretty, has established herself as the pioneer woman boarding officer of the immigration service. Here are some of the things she has to do: Board in-coming foreign vessels in every kind of weather, from sunrise to sunset, arising at 3 a. m. during the summer months. Seale the Jacob's ladder to get aboard ships during rough weather. Leap from the wharf to a rolling customs ring and from the ring, holding in the happy seas of the Bay of San Francisco, to the side holders of steamers. RUSSIA BUYS AMERICAN BOAT Lake Steamer Nevada Will Wend Its Way Eastward When Navigagation Opens. Mandiwoko, Wis. The Goodrich seamer Nevada, soon after the opening of navigation, will wend its way eastward, down through the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic seabound, there to take on cargo for a Russian port. M. Schoelshoff of Portugal, represent- ting the Russian government, purchas- ed the Nynada from the Goodrich company, the price is said to have been approximately $74,000. The Nevada was built here in 1875, as entirely of steel 222 feet long, and can attain a speed of 15 knots in hour. The exist cost the Goodrich company $77,000, although it could not be displaced today for that purpose. one is our army thanking of the courage on the way out of danger. All eyes are on the tall hill and the child which he is appalled at. As he picks up that little boy and takes him to his arms, it laughs, a low, treetop laugh, passes along our entire column. The lunch is infectious, and we can feel how it is going along the ranks over young, and suddenly what, are they going to shoot? no on the contrary, a great war of applause with shoots of "Brave" from thousands of French threaths break the stiffness. Then, as the soldier jumps back into our trench with the child safety in his arms, our ranks, too, burst into a triumphant shout which passes all along the line. "Exon for some time after not a shot is fired. It is as if we felt alamed of ourselves, and no one touched a gun while that child was in our midst. "When the trending did start again it was rather desortiment and indifferent, and there was nothing-dangerous about it. That little child had worked a wonderful change in the hearts of both friend and foe that morning." PROUD OF 19-CENT TUBERS Pennsylvania Farmer Who Minimized Potato Cost, Produces Some Real Whoppers. Doylestown, Pa.—Farmer Edward Chittick of Plumstead township, who raised 250 bushels of potatoes on an area of ground at 19 cents a bushel, brought some real "taters" to the county seat of Bucks, exhibiting "Murphys" that averaged a pound cach, to show what kind he raised—and they were whoppers. Thirty-one potatoes filled a half-bushed basket heaping full. One after another a dozen were measured, and they were fairly uniform in length. Most of them measured 'six inches across'. They weighed about a pound apiece, and Mr. Chittick says he had some that tipped the scales at one and three-quarter pounds. Mr. Chittick admits that he may have been a little low in some of his expense items; but it was very little. He did nearly all the work himself, and consequently the cost was less than if he had to hire the kind of labor most farmers must. The United States survey figures, he says, show that he was not much too low on his labor cost. As for cutting potatoes, he says he can cut ten-bushels with a knife in half a day; but he keeps right down to business. BLOW RESTORES MAN'S VOICE Silent—for Years He Recovers His Speech While Boxing With His Cousin. New Castle, Pa.—Mike Liskas has every reason to be grateful to his cousin, John Liskas, and all on account of a terrific blow administered on his chin by the latter while boxing. Mike had been unable to speak for a year and had spent several hundred dollars attempting to regain his voice. The blow on the chin brought blood to the mouth of Mike and John, the cousin, fearing that he had seriously injured Mike, was in the act of going for a doctor, when for the first time in a year, Mike spoke, saying: "You here not hurt me. Now "You have not hurt me. You have helped me regain my voice." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS 'BIRTH OF ANATION'WON! Our People Too Late Getting Together; Mayor Davis Fails Us; Martin's Good Work Miss Hazel Mountain, president of our City Federation of Women's clubs, presiding, Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church and president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., the first speaker said, Sunday afternoon at the St. John's A. M. E. church mass meeting, held under the auspices of the joint committee of our three organizations, the C. F. of W. C., the N. A. A. C. P, and A. C. of M. C., that The Gazette had published that the colored people had made a great mistake in their method of attack on "The Birth of a Nation"; asked what the editor had done to prevent any 'mistakes' from being made; said that he (either) had put down $5 to help in the movement against it; that "some nasty dirty little nobody" and furnished The Gazette with news of the meetings at his church, on a recent Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon, that he thought ought not to have been published, but did not question the correctness of the news as published. According of an officer of the N. A. A. C. P., members of that body are asking for Bailey's reservation as president, in the face of the foregoing and what follows, this is not at all surprising. Bailey also said that he had sacrificed his time from other matters which had to do with his church, and that some men had newspapers but did not know how to use them. He seemed to feel that he was the only one who had sacrificed time and money. There was a mark which were unwarranted and scored too much of a personal boost. Jerome Wing, one of the attorneys in the case for our people in their fight against the film, said that climatic conditions, under which white men had always lived, had made them squirrels, saving in the productive season against the unproductive. That the colored man had not learned the lesson of economy and saving because his native climate always afforded him sufficient food and sustenance for each day. In this connection he said that colored people were naturally sensitive, caused by mistreatment received from white men, and that it was undoubtedly an injustice to burden them with such a play as "The Birth of a Nation." Alex H. Martin, Esq., in speaking said that the squirrels also lived in Virginia and all over the South, and that the cause of the South's unfinancial condition was the refusal of white men there to work, and their dependence upon slave labor and the exploitation of the "Negro." Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor of St. John's church, (disagreeing with Bailey), said, Sunday evening, to his congregation that he believed our people of Cleveland HAD MADE A MISTAKE in attacking the showing of "The Birth of a Nation," relying too much on themselves, etc., and called for a change in the way he approached his church the following day to ask God's guidance. He asked where were all the white ministers, old soldiers and officers, who had promised to support our people in the effort against the infamous film, and told his congregation that this country would-at some time feel the need of its colored citizens whom it had so studiously neglected. He said that the young "Negro" of today had lost most of the patriotism he ever had, and rightly believed that he had lost most of the day (last Sunday) set apart in the churches for a display of patriotism, but there were no flags on him or in the church; that he was angry clear through and felt more like fighting than preaching. "The report made, Sunday afternoon, by the committee, of financial receipts and expenditures was as follows: Receipts, $262.89. Paid to Wicket Wing, $175, to A. H. Martin, Esq., $100, court costs, $2.50; total, $275.00. Deficit, $14.61. This was paid by Robert K. flogges of the Cleveland Hardware Co. Subsequent to this $118 ($93-cash) payment, the case is the Cause of Appeals." This was unnecessary because the city has a half dozen well-paid attorneys who will do so and because the case is the city's, particularly so, now, owing to the technical-nature of the appeal. It is wrong to be collecting more of our people's hard-earned money, at this time, for the purpose stated. When this case has been decided, or even before, an effort can be made to have the play barred from the state as Attorney Martin said. Sunday. Then it will be time to collect funds. The C. F. E. C. who tried to hold a meeting at Mt. Zion Cong. church, last Sunday afternoon, and who announced their meeting first, are "sore" over the treatment accorded them and their meeting by the organization's president. Vice Press, F. E. Young refused to follow him to the St. John's church meet. Our people of this city and the state can now appreciate even more keenly than ever before the good work the editor of The Gazette did, two years ago, to make the successful in barring the miserable films, "The Nigger" and "The Birth of a Nation," from the state of Ohio. The outcome of the effort of the N. A. A. THE EAGLE REV. H. C. BAILEY. C. P. twith headquarters in New York City to conduct and control the recent fight against "The Birth" film has been a MONUMENTAL FAILURE as might have been expected. Just how great and how distressing a failure it is can best be seen from the following, taken from two of Wednesday's Cleveland daily newspapers: State Raises "Nigger" Ban. One of the first big productions to be 'taoboo by Ohio was "The Nigger," a film version of Edward Shelton's daring play starring William Farnum. When the state ban on "The Birth of a Nation" was raised the Fox people, owners of the production, sought similar relief. The picture is to be shown as "The New Governor," Farnum, a owner of the former biennies, error of a southern state and is crushed when it is proved he has negro blood in his veins—Cleveland News. But, most interesting news of the hour—William Farnum's spectacular film production of Edward Shelton's stage play, "The Nigger," has been passed and is booked to start a run at the Orpheum theater next week. Veryly, this is news! It means that the governor is actually jailed in Ohio circles. Bonds were broken when "The Birth of a Natiog" was passed, and "The Nigger," which is called, in Ohio, "The Governor's Sacrifice," was almost automatically-set free. Incidentally, it is a parallel picture to "The Birth of a Nation." In Canada it was called "The Curse of a Nation." It was shown at the Standard theater, in Cleveland, a couple of years ago (maybe five years), when stopped by order of the Consecrator Board. It has been shelved ever since. The production easily ranks with the big things in the film world, along with Farnum's recent film, "The Tale of Two Cities." It was made in Georgia, and includes that state's entire quota of troops in the huge mob GOV. JAMES M. COX. scenes and race riots. It rings with the crack of the white man's whip and the scream of the black, and it deals boldly with the liquor question. Big moments in the production are the burning of a negro at the stake after he assaulted a five-year-old white girl; the big street battles between thousands of whites and blacks armed with rifles in the spectacular charge of the Georgian cavalry and infantry loaned by the state — Cleveland Leader. Before enlisting in the army, when this is made possible, every Afro-American in this state should see "The Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger," the films—Gov. James M. Lewis, Cox administration, for him. When Cox asks you to enlist tell him to go to "The Birth of a-Nation." (See Page 2 for editorial on "Our Good Friend Bailey.") FOR SOME OF OUR PEOPLE. "Obey the law and keep your mouth shut." This is the warning, sent out by U.S. Attorney-General, and just before that he said: "No German alien enemy in this country who has not hitherto been implicated in plots against the interests of the United States need have any fear of action by the Department of Justice so long as he observes the following warning: "Obey the law and keep your mouth shut." And maybe this is a mighty good other people who also take too much. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917. "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. "He kept us out of war!" Don't that remind you of last fall—in October? "Please enroll me as a private," wired Col. Wm. Jennings Bryan to President Wilson. And everybody says "Agreed." The N. A. A. C. P. (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) fight on "The Birth of a Nation," in Ohio, has been a colossal failure. Before enlisting, Ohio Afro-Americans should see "The Birth of a Nation," the miserable film the Democratic government of this state has forced upon them, and see how it not only libels our people but also the loyal soldier of the war of the rebellion, abolitionists, patriotism, etc. Is the Democratic party just to the country in keeping Stone at the head of the committee on foreign relations in the Senate? Has he the breadth of view? Are his ideas what they should be? Is he a statesman? Has he the confidence of the country? Has he even discretion? As a measure of preparedness should he not be replaced by an abler and a more patriotic man? THIS WOULD PLEASE ROOSEVELT Senator Warren G. Harding is proposing a plan which may prove a solution of the issue as to whether the American army about to be created shall be raised by conscription or by the volunteer method. Senator Harding proposes that the question shall be divided under two heads. The army that is to be sent to Europe to fight in the trenches should be raised entirely from volunteers, he said, while in forming the permanent army of national defense selective conscription may be entered upon if circumstances make it necessary. His view is that no man should be compelled to go to Europe and fight unless he desires to do so, or in other words, unless he volunteers. There are indications that Senator Harding's plan will find many supporters in Congress. MUSKET PREPAREDNESS. James W. Gerard, recent ambassador to Germany, in a speech at New York, said: "We hear even today, prattlings about embattled farmers taking their old muskets from over the chimney place and defeating the invader. But nowadays the old flintlock means Zepelins, airplanes, captive observation balloons, steel helmet, gas and gas masks, machine guns, searchlights, sixteen-inch guns and eighteen-inch howitzers, trench mortars, range finders, telescopes, armored automobiles, tanks, miles of barbed wire, underground mining, rockets and grenades and countless other instruments of war, the proper use of which can only be learned after years of hard application. All these modern means of war require great preparations. If we are in for war we are in for a serious war." If we are in for a serious war and it takes years of hard application to learn all these things, why have they not been prepared, why are they not ready? It has been almost three years since the war began. In the musket days of our foresathers they at least had the musket ready over every man tel and they knew how to use it. OUR "GOOD FRIEND" BAILEY. Our good friend(?), Rev. H. C. Bailey, has been "losing his head" for quite a year. This has been evident to many of his best friends who have been frank in their expressions of regret; none more so than the editor of The Gazette, who as many know has been one of his staunchest and best friends throughout all his trials in this city, domestic, church, etc. The Gazette, more than any other local agency, helped to place him in the favorable position he has enjoyed in this community for several years and which it now seems he is determined to sacrifice as the result of a peculiar "mental condition" that has caused the downfall of many a much abler man than our quondam friend. The Gazette in the past so often frankly stated why it liked the "Rev." that our readers can easily imagine how much we regret—more than we care to express at this time—the necessity, which he has forced upon us, of showing how positively unwarranted and really foolish was his mean attack on The Gazette in a characteristic talk, Sunday afternoon last, at St. John's A, M. E. church. First, RESULTS show so conclusively that our people of the state and this city made a great mistake, or rather many of them, in their method of attack on the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation", that it is a waste of time to discuss that. Then that lone $5 bill that Brother Bailey contributed to the local fight would not pay our carfare to Columbus and return on any one of the four trips to that city the editor of The Gazette made when fighting "The Birth of a Nation", two years ago. And we won then! Nor is Bailey's lonesome "five" one twentieth of the money we spent in fighting the miserable film at that time, not one cent of which has been returned to us, or have we asked or expect. We held no mass meetings to collect money from our people or any other, either. In this local fight we spent more than three times the sum, Brother Bailey boasts of contributing, and greatly to the fact and would not do so if he had not made it necessary. We do not like advertising such things and regret that, apparently, he does. The "dear man" does not say that the Gazette published (so distasteful to him) was not the TRUTH—relative to his quarrel with Vice President F. E. Young of the N. A. A. C. P.—but abuses our representative for reporting, it, "reflects upon the editor" for publishing it, and proceeds to pass judgment as to "men who have news papers and do not know how to use them". It was in this remark Brother Bailey reached the height of the arrogance that has characterized all of his ignorant criticisms. The Gazette was clearly within its rights and correct when it made the publication one seems to object to but him. Not even Mr. Young with whom he quarrelled that Sunday afternoon in his church. The fact that he (Bailey) does not know this is not at all surprising when one remembers his overwintering "selfesteem", his ignorance of journalism, etc. It pains us greatly, as we have said, to have to speak so plainly of our quondam friend and our only defense is that he alone has compelled it. Possibly one of the most amusing parts of his talk, Sunday afternoon, was when, with the importance of a marrytred Rocketeller, Brother Bailey made reference to that five "spot" and the "sacrifice of his time", as if he were the only person interested in the case who had made such sacrifice. Some years ago we read a contribution to a local daily paper on the "Negro" in which the writer, a Mady friend of the race, said that "the Negro was self conscious". Ever since we have tried to decide whether she was correct or not in that statement. Brother Bailey and other things of more or less ancient "vintage" have convived us at last. THE KAISER'S NEGRO BANDMASTER Sabac El-Cher, whose mother was a native African of color, bandmaster of the First Grenadier Guards of the Imperial German Army, was born on the grounds of the Royal Palace in Germany, educated, and schooled in music in that country. He was a musician in Germany, and later to Germany from Africa by Prince Albrecht, an uncle of the present Emperor. NEWS FLIES FAST IN CHINA Most Wonderful Courier Service in the World Takes the Place of the Telegraph and Railroad. Travelers who return from the remote interior of vast countries where telegraphs and railways are practically unknown will tell you of the astonishing swiftness with which news travels, despite the seeming absence of facilities. Away in the wilds of the Tibetan border, or in the Mongolian deserts, hundreds of miles from the nearest telegraph wire, the traveler will perchance hear of some momentous event in the outside world within an incredibly short while of its happening. This rapid transmission of news is the work of natives employed in counter services of higher organization than we have ever dreamed. China, that spacious land where distance is measured by days, not miles, affords the best example. For, although the means of communication by rail and telegraph have greatly developed there of late, the bulk of the interior is still virgin to these inventions of the "foreign devil." and China still maintains what has been from time immemorial the most wonderful courter service in the world. It is now mainly controlled by the Chinese post office, and the mileage of the courier lines has recently reached the stupendous figure of 136,000, or about $5\frac{1}{2}$ times the circumference of the globe. By Road, river and track, radiating from the capital of Peking, or other important centers, couriers are speeding without ceasing, night and day, to almost every corner of the 5,000,000 square miles of country which form the Chinese empire. The couriers are all stalwart men especially chosen for their physique, powers of endurance and knowledge of routes. They work in relays, eat as they go along, and are supposed not to stop until they have handed the mailbag to the next relay. An average speed of 90 miles a day is often maintained. About Hardwood Floor. If hardwood floors are badly spotted and dirty, the best way to clean them is wiping up with gasoline. Moisten a clean piece of cheesecloth with gasoline and rub the surface of the floor vigorously with the moistened cloth, changing it as soon as it becomes much soiled. Refining Influence.

EASY TO TELL REAL DIAMOND There Are Many Ways in Which the Finest Imitations May Be Detected, Even by the Inexperienced. The experienced eye does not find it difficult to decide whether a diamond is genuine, for the facets of real ones are seldom so regular as those of fine imitations. With the latter the greatest care is taken in grinding to polish and smooth the whole stone so that there will be irregularity in the reflection or refraction of the light. A necessary tool for testing is the file, which cannot scratch a real diamond, although it quickly leaves its mark on an imitation. Better than the file is the sapphire, for the sapphire is the next hardest stone to the diamond. Any stone that a sapphire can scratch is assuredly not a diamond. If you put a small drop of water on the upper facet of a brilliant and touch it with the point of a pencil the drop will keep its rounded form, but the stone will remain clean and dry. In case of an imitation the drop immediately spreads out. Plunge a diamond into water and it will be plainly visible and will glitter through the liquid, but an imitation stone is almost invisible. If you look through a diamond, as through a bit of glass, at a black dot on a sheet of white paper you will see one single point clearly. If you see several points or a blur of black it is an imitation. The white sapphire, the white topaz and rock crystal are frequently sold as diamonds, but imitations are more commonly made of glass. MANY GOLD COINS ABRADED Are Often Found by Banks to Be Below Weight Fixed by the United States Treasury Department. Gold coin in circulation loses weight more rapidly than most people realize, and it is said that a great amount of the gold in circulation on this coast is abraded below the limit of tolerance at which the United States treasury will receive it, says the San Francisco Chronicle. A good deal of this lightweight money is accepted by the banks, as is discovered whenever a national bank makes a gold payment to the Federal Reserve bank. Probably the banks have now become educated, but when the first payments were made to the reserve banks it was found that considerable gold which passed current among banks would not be received by the reserve banks at face value. It is safe to assume that all gold coin received by banks is sorted, the perfect coins being held in the vaults and the worn pieces paid out over the counter so that the ultimate loss which is inevitable is borne by the last individual holder. Congress is now asked by the treasury department for authority to receive for a limited period all gold coin at its face value. That which is abraded will then be recoined and the integrity of the circulation restored. Duration of American Wars DURATION of American Wars.

"FLORENCE ESTATES" "FLORENCE ESTATES" (Engineers' Report) REMINGTON & VOSBURG, Consulting Engineers, 601 Market St., Camden, N. J., April 10, 1917. Mr. William Lipkin, Care of The Statler Hotel, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir!-We have just finished the survey of Tract No. 1 and Tract No. 2 of the Florence Estates. The new streets are now opened, sign boards are up and the lots staked out with large white stakes, the number of the lots being stenled thereon. I am very glad to report to you that this ground is high, fertile and some sections of the tract are favored with exceptionally large trees. I also wish to state that taking these tracts as a whole, considering their size, that it is one of our finest pieces of ground that I ever saw for any real estate operator. Realizing the magnitude of this statement, I feel that there are wonderful possibilities for the development of this land. As we specialize in this particular kind of work and are engineers for fourteen of the largest municipalities in this state, I feel that it would be impossible to improve the layout. It is not only in harmony with the topo raphy of the land, but it has excellent conveniences for further development. Trusting this report is satisfactory. we remain. Very truly yours, J. C. REMINGTON, JR., Consulting Engineers J.C.R.-AVM: —Adv. Hippocrates, Father of Medicine. Greek medicine in its primitive period is mostly mythical, beginning with Melampus, in about 1400 B. C., and ending with Hippocrates, 460 B. C. The most prominent character was Aesculapius, reputed son of Apollo and Coronis, and worshiped as the god of medicine by both Greeks and Romans. The philosophic period began with the doctrines of Hippocrates, believed to be the seventeenth in descent from Aesculapius, and known as the father of medicine. He separated medicine from priestcraft, abolished charms, incantations and all forms of mysticism and pretense, teaching that disease was a process governed by natural laws and yielding to treatments found by studying the symptoms. A copy of the Hippocratic oath sworn to by all the pupils of Hippocrates in about 440 B. C., is exhibited. Only One Cure for Selfishness Selfishness is a disease, and, of course, it is attended with pain. It is a disease of the mind which has its inevitable effect on the body. And its cure is in the deliberate practice of its opposite. DO YOU BELIEVE REMEMBER THIS PALMER'S SKIN-SUCCESS when looking for the ORIGINAL Sk plexion Brightner.

Abuse of Pension System ABUSE of Pension System. Abuse of the pension system is ill-illustrated by the Bostonian who discovered, in a distant New England town, a former townman and policeman in a new uniform, walking a beat. "How is this?" asked the visitor. "I thought you were on the Boston force." "Oh," exclaimed the transplanted policeman, "you see I'm pensioned by Boston, so I moved. Now I'm working here."

Men Will Be Put in Shape to Fight for Uncle Sam. Location of Citizens' Training Camps Is Announced by War Department in Washington. Washington, D. C. — The location of the citizens' training camps at which America's new gigantic army will be trained has just been announced by the war department. They embrace every section of the country. On May 1 they will be ready for the reception of reserve officers and candidates for commissions, and the course of instruction will begin one week later. The camps will later be used for training a large part of the prospective army of 500,000 men. It develops that under the present regulations, those in training for commissions will not receive any pay. It was announced that "the citizens selected for admission will receive transportation, subsistence and uniforms at the expense of the United States, although it is believed that most of them will have their own uniforms in advance. Other articles of equipment will be issued at the camps. "The camp for the New England states will be at Fort Ethan Allen or such other point in New England as may be designated by the commanding general of the eastern district," says an announcement by the war department. "The camp for congressional district numbers 1 to 26, inclusive, in New York state (which comprises Long Island, New York city) and a small piece of territory immediately north of New York city) will be at Plattsburg barracks, N. Y. "The camp for the remainder of New York state and the 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 25th and 26th congressional districts of Pennsylvania will be at Madison barracks, N. Y. The camps for the remainder of Pennsylvania (which includes Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) will be at Fort Niagara, N. Y. "The camp for Ohio will be at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., near Indianapolis."

Toledo, Ohio. — In a razor duel between Philip Abrams, 30, and his wife, 28, each slashed the other more than a dozen times, death resulting while both were being taken to the hospital. According to Joseph Wallace, 14, a witness, Mrs. Abrams told her husband she was going to the hospital to take fruit to the owner of their home. Abrams, the boy said, objected and slapped his wife. The couple continued quarreling several hours when both procured razors. War Claims First Young Patriot. Chicago, Illinois.—The war claimed its first young patriot in Chicago.

SOMBER TONES PREDOMINATE None of Colors Adopted In Models Imported From France Is Especially Attractive to the American Woman. The history or jersey cloth could not be written in one chapter. Its introduction was not taken seriously, but its persistence has caused it to be regarded with importance. It is quite useless to attempt to describe the spring fashions without starting from jersey, incorporating it in the middle and ending up with it. It has ceased to be a novelty. It has become a standard fabric. It is so strongly, and disagreeably, like certain well-advertised brands of American woolen for men's underwear, that one feels partially undressed when wearing it. Its slender surface which tintalized the economical women and was the delight of the extravagant woman, appears to have been relegated to the limbo of things that were. The weave that does not indicate by its appearance that it was ever intended for smart and expensive apparel is the weave that is accepted. There is a French quality that cannot be duplicated in this country, the dressmakers say, and the woman who orders a suit or frock of it pays a good fat price for it, with the sails FABRIC This frock is made of blue gaberdine and the curve at the knees is accentuated by machine stitchery in blue and embroidery in blue beads. The short cape buttons on the shoulder. The fancy vest is of white organdie. faction that it will wear forever—if that is a satisfaction in these days of whirling fashions and cyclonic commercial conditions. This is not the time or place to indulge in a summary of the triumphal procession of jersey from an outlander to a conqueror. Women have used the word as well as the weave indifferently, and they speak of it slightly as a thing of the beach, the country lane and the hard benches about the field of sport. Even the high price of the slender fabric, which Chanel took it into her head to embroider with gold and silver, did not make women stop to consider that such a flotous extravagance had a purpose behind it. Jersey coats and skirts were trimmed with fur, worn during the summer months and hung in the closet at other times. They were a bit more of a caprice than a colored sweater, so women thought, but the manufacturers' thought ran in another vein. They saw in Jersey cloth a sturdy, reliable fabric that could be standardized and kept continually on the market like serge. Amazing Success of Jersey Cloth. At the moment, it looks as though the manufacturers have thought better than the public. Jersey not only rivals serge in the spring clothes, but runs ahead of it. Even the importers in this country were surprised when the packers opened the enormous boxes which came over on the French steamers from Bordeaux and lifted gown after gown, suit after suit and coat after coat . Jersey. There was no silk jersey there; all the apparel was made of this new and prevailing FOR THE "BOBBED COIFFURE" There Are Ways of Meeting Difficulties of Those Whose Hair Is Either too Thin or Too Thick No, it is not particularly new, this fascinating way of covering one's ears, but it is always universally becoming, and is still the "lates," says an expert hairdresser. However, there are some tew who make a very poor attempt at "bobbing" their hair. "How do you manage to make your hair look so nice over the ears?" one damselfly will say to another more skillful than herself. "My hair is so thin that I can't possibly puff it." "My hair is so thick that it sticks out," are the usual complaints. Well, for the too-thin haired there come in the way of boon tiny rats that can be tucked underneath the scantiest of locks to give them the nice rounded appearance of the ideal "bob." And all that the too-thick crop requires is thinner strands for the ear covering. One strand on gach side of the head, rolled and brought back to be caught "in the 'kroob,' and that as the secret THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917 wene which has an unfinished, integ- gant appearance. One has a feeling that the exigen- des of war have made women get hold of all the men's undershirts they could find, dip them in the dye pot, put a belt around them and use them with a plaited skirt. The one feeling of discouragement that the American importers have had about the abundance of jersey cloth clothes was caused by the sad tones which the buyers have chosen. An al- moused unlimited range of gray and beige predominates. Not one of these colors is especially attractive to the American woman. It takes a peculiarly toned brunette to wear string, muscle, cafe au bait, beige and the biscuit tones, and it takes a peculiarly toned blonde to wear gray in its several light shades that have neither blue nor mauve in However, the French designers have got around this by using collars, belts, cuffs and facings of black, dark blue and white on these gray and beige jersey costumes. It may be due to some inability to dye this new type of Jersey that the sad colors are chosen, or it may be that the manufacturers of materials in France prefer to use the gray and beige in these everyday suits and keep the gorgeous colors for evening and afternoon frocks. Have Long Tunic Goats. The majority of the jersey suits, and they may be called frocks as well, have long, tunic coats that reach to the knees and must be slipped on over the head through the opening at the neck. These coats are as shapeless as the costumery of the tenth century, and they depend entirely upon the girdle for a silhouette of any grace or distinction. One of the best of the jersey frocks, which was instantly snapped up by the American woman, is a combination of black and cafe au lait. The top of the skirt is of the latter color and is slightly held in at the waistline so that it will not stretch in an unagainst manner across the hips and spine. It is cut off across the hips in a sharp line that turns and outlines a panel in the back. The lower half of the skirt is of black jersey, joined to the top in such a manner that it gives a slight barrel effect and then curves in to the ankles and falls in in an irregular line at the hem, which is the prevailing note of the really smart frock. The slim bodice clings to the figure like the ```markdown ``` This gown is made of blue serge trimmed with black satin. The sleeves are barreled and built of the two materials joined by soutaching.

The turnover collar is faced with natural shantung. first jerseys which Lily Langtry made famous, but never do they show such a silhouette as she presented to the world, for the days of thy waists, curved hips and slender shoulders have been eliminated. To keep the tone of the cafe an latt away from the face, there is a wide, rolling, horse collar of black, and the long, tight sleeves, which are buttoned from elbow to wrist, flare so far over the hands that they have to be rolled back carcassly to show a black facing.

Of course, the woman, a bit up in years will not desire the exaggerated coifure of the flapper, but a less thin strand of hair water-waived and a little aft of the cheek. But above all things, be careful not to "rough" the hair to produce the desired puff. In a short while such abusive treatment results in a distressing thinness and split condition of the hair. If there is any objection to the use of a rat, then the homemade variety might suit. A few combings secured in a bit of hair net is an easy way of making one. Indian Turbans Featured Indian turbans made of cashmere shawls and draped in the regulation Indian way, have been featured among the spring hats. There is a cuff brim of black satin turning up from the face, which frames in the bright colors of the cashmere shawl. American dealers in the last three months have purchased most of the gourkskins in Aden, Arabia. Prices have increased from $8.50 to $12.33 a score. FOR TEN-YEAR-OLD FOR TEN-YEAR-OLD Daintiness of Finish Marks New Frocks for Young Girls. Pique Strongly Favored, Among Other Sturdy Tub Fabrics, for Children's Dresses This Season. The little frock shown in the accompanying sketch designed for a girl of eight to twelve years, is made of the white pique and is trimmed with a very narrow -southeast braid applied in conventional design. The oddly shaped little coat or jacket is separate from the frock proper. The latter is cut on simple, straight lines. The waist fits easily and extends a trifle lower than the normal waistline, where the skirt is attached by large flat or box plats. The flat pliats are more effective, and are also more easily inundered, which is a feature worth considering. The sleeveless jacket is exactly alike back and front, and it fastens with small buttons on the left shoulder and at the side. This is really not necessary, except that when opened and laid flat on the board it can be more easily ironed than when the shoulders are seamed. Daintness of fit distinguishes this little frock, and the same holds true of all apparel designed for members of the younger generation this season. The frock may be braided in color if desired, although as designed all white is used, and this would undoubtedly prove the most satisfactory. A bright touch of color may be given an all-white frock by a bow of bright ribbon at the throat, and the frock in question is toned up by using a soft sash of wide taffeta ribbon, which ties about the waist, peeps beneath the jacket underneath the arms, and falls in loops and ends at the back. To make this frock for a ten-year-old girl four and a half yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. The frock is made from children's dresses this season, and no I. Tub Frock for Ten-Year-Old. other fabric that is accorded approval in the selection of sturdy tub fabrics is a washable crepe. Ginghans, chambrays and various heavyweight lines are also good, but pique ranks well at the top of the list. Velvet's Origin. Few persons realize that velvet was developed and originated in China. Thence velvet making was introduced into India and, in the fourteenth century, into Italy, where that sort of fabric especially appealed and where the art of velvet making reached its height. It is said that velvet was first inspired by fur and that it was in order to make a silken fabric on the same order as fine wool that man first set his wits about to invent this. Blush Dotted Voile A very pretty novelty is of cotton voile with dot stripes in self-tone plush. The dots are about three-quarters of an inch across and set just that distance apart. This voile comes in rose and ivory and green and pale blue. The Bandbox Bag. A new traveling bag takes the shape of a round hat box and is about that size. Black leather is used for the binding and handle, while the bag itself is of black and tan narrow striped, glazed leather. Great Leeway. Great leeway is permissible in the development of suit coats. Some are so short as to be more jackets; others are finger-tip length, while extreme models reach to the knees. The finger-tip length is probably the general favorite, and inasmuch as it is the most becoming length, it may be said to be the accepted one. Various silks, serge, garbardine, silk and wool jersey cloth, and many attractive mixtures are shown in the array of suit fabrics, and too great emphasis can hardly be laid on the vogue for high colors. White Silk Gloves for Dress White Silk Gloves for Dress. If it is not that leather for shoes is passing it is much more true that kid for gloves is running short, and already the shops are showing long dress gloves of white silk. These are elaborately tucked to elbow length and some are stitched in black silk. Other long gloves have insets of fine lace medallions, which match up with fancy lace inset hosiery, and we are left to wonder if gloves and stockings will not presently be sold together matching in color and decoration. TOUCH OF THE ORIENT Mary Here is the advent of a charming fashion. The gown is of Chinese embroidery on black net. The colors of the embroidery are emphasized in triple chiffon foundation of green, purple and mustard. There is a freshness of youth and a richness of antiquity which make this costume most stunning. FRENCH SEEK FOOT COMFORT Talk Is Heard of Introduction of Round-Toed 'Oxford Among American Women There is a talk of introducing the round-toed Oxford shoe among American women for spring use. There are still some sensible minds among women in this country, and the tendency toward the medieval shoe of the twelfth century with a point that has grown almost long enough to roll up and touch the instep, does not meet with their approval, says an authority on woman's shoes. The American manufacturers have elongated the vamp of the shoe until it is out of all proportion to any foot, and they have balanced it on such high heels that the entire forward part of the foot is thrown down into this toothpick vamp. All of which is good for the chirurgists and foot specialists, but not for the sweet temper and endurance of women. The French have forsaken the French heels; they have high, sturdy, Spanish heels going from ground to foot on a straight line that entirely supports the body and keeps the spine in a correct position. They have shortened the vamp of the shoe so that it allows free play to the spring of the foot where the toes begin and they have rounded the vamp as nature rounded the foot at that place. Their feet not only look better than they have looked in a century, but the French women are learning to enjoy walking. The American woman is wearing a shoe that is neither comfortable nor good-looking. It is wrong in every particular. It does not support the foot and it does not add to the attractiveness of the silhouette. DOTTED SWISS WIDELY USED Dearth of Other Desirable Fabrics Makes It Very Much in Evidence in Little Girl's Wardrobes. No material leads itself more to originality in fashioning the little girl's clothes than the dotted swiss. And now, when there is dearth of destruible fabrics on account of the foreign war, dotted swiss is distinctly in evidence. Not only is it obtainable in white with dots of various sizes but in a wide range of colors, from pastel shades to vivid yellow and pink. Pale pink, cemar, white and white with pale blue dots are the most suitable for the little girl's wardrobe. While the dotted swiss is most desirable for the little girl's dress, there are many other uses for which it is adapted. For instance, ceruse swiss is most attractive as a lining for a ponge coat. White dotted swiss combined with China silk also makes an effective outside garment for summer wear. Then, too, there are many other ways in which the dotted swiss is found to be a valuable factor in the child's outfit. Cunning aprons are made of the swiss. These aprons are made in envelope fashion and trimmed with a narrow edge of Valenciennes lace. In addition, collars suitable for wear on a coat or silk dress are made of the swiss; sashes, bonnet strings, and, indeed, hats and bonnets as well, are all made from this durable material. The Mannish Shirt There are really many women who have found that the mannish shirt is easier and more generally suitable than the usual sort of Trilled and tucked and lacy blouse that most women wear. Of course, all women wear suits nowadays and most women have one suit at least that is cut on the regulation tailor style—noted collar, belted back, long plain sleeves and plain buttoned front. And women still wear their suit skirts short enough to look sensible, and there is nothing so very unusual in seeing a woman wear low-heeled shoes on the sports order for the street. So looking mannish nowadays is not so very much of a jump from looking simply well dressed for the street. Indian Shawls for Sport In Guatemala, the maidens wrap a blanket around their shoulders when they squat before their huts; in the U. S. A., shantung is embroidered in the same reds and blues and made into a blouse to wear with a plaited shantung sports skirt when the girls gather at the country clubs. CLEVER LITTLE VESTS ARE NOTABLE Mannish Feature of New Styles Wins Wide Popularity. Many of the "Weskits" Are Quite Independent of Suits or Frocks With Which They Are Worn. The 1917 season is one of contradictions. It is quite easy one moment to decide definitely that all apparel developed for femininity is distinctly feminine, and in the very next moment run into something so mannish that decision number one is completely reversed. In the line-up of things masculine or mannish the clever little vests are notable. Neckwear or accessory designers and manufacturers have contributed their quota to popularizing the glet or vest, as "weskits" galore have been turned out quite separate and apart from the suits or frocks they are destined to adorn. A woman may possess modish plain white vests of pique, linen, broadcloth, etc., in one tone high color or rakish, sporty affairs in broad and striking checks sug- J. H. Vests for All Occasions. gestive of the racecourse toggery. These vests are sometimes complete in themselves, being in fact merely little sleeveless jackets to be worn underneath the coat, and again they must be sewed or hooked into the garment and made a very real and definite part of it. A modish tailored vest of black and white checked faillie silk is here shown, accompanying a suit coat of navy serge. The blouse and collar, or stock, worn with a severely tailored vest is usually quite mannish, in order to agree with the general suggestion. But soft stocks and jabots and ruffle front shirts are also worn. The vest or gilet is featured as a part of many smart spring coats and dresses as well as suits. NEW KINKS IN NECK RIBBONS Narrow Cravats, Weighted on End to Hang Straight From Under Collar, Largely Worn. The pretty little dainty rose or rosette or ribbon ornament for the neck to finish off the collar is virtually passe, but that does not say that neck ornaments are altogether out. They have merely changed character. Now they consist mostly of narrow cravats weighted on the ends to hang perfectly straight from under one of the novelty collars, at the sides of a collarless neck line through lacings in the front of the frock or blouse, or to tie once at the center front. Striped, brocaded and figured ribbons and braids of all kinds are used for these fetching little vanities, and while they are not by any means exorbitant when bought all made up in the shops, you can put more character into them and match them up better to your costumes when you make them yourself. Besides the ribbons and cotton braids, one can crochet some very pretty cravats. The prettiest stitch resembles somewhat the popcorn stitch done in solid crochet. You make a series of chains, loop them and fill the end of this loop with, say, four or five doubles. At the top of the last doubles, you chain some more, about five or six, and make a double into the last doubles to bring your thread to the edge of this next loop. Then you proceed to fill this again, repeating the process ad libitum. It is in the weighting of these ribbons that much originality can be shown. Heavy metallic tassels for both ribbons and bands of platted metal cords are good. Some lovely decorated Japanese beads are not only used to weight the ribbons, but are strung on them as well. Chinese coins give an other Oriental touch. LITTLE HINTS FOR KNITTERS Corks Slipped on the Ends of Needles Will Be Found Handy in Arresting Sliding Wool. When you are doing any loose knitting where stitches are likely to slip off the needle while the work is resting, or even while you are working on it, you will find some good corks handy to have about, as they can be slipped on the ends of the needles and serve as efficient stoppers for the sliding wool. The same is true for crochet; a cork on the end of the crochet hook will not only keep it in the work, but will keep the hook from piercing every available soft substance. Where either knitting or crochet has to be laid aside for a time with a stitch or stitches left loose, a safety pin may be used to insure the "safety" of these loose stitches. In joining worsteds for knitting or crocheting, knots may be avoided if the end of the wool to be joined to the new hank is threaded through a coarse needle—probably a darning needle or crewel needle—and threaded with run- BLAZER STRIPES THE RULE Were Never So Startling or So Popular as They Are in the Sweaters This Year. The fewest of the new in sweaters are showing very decided oriental tendencies. And blazer stripes were never before so startling or nearly so popular—in sweaters. Imagine, if you will, a bizarre combination like Nile green and Chinese blue, or resedra green and American beauty, or old gold and royal purple. Well, this sort of daring color scheme is the last word in sweaters, and for that matter in all sports styles this season. The blazer stripe effects are stitched along the stripe simulating the box plent. Pinchback effects are noticeable, too. A belt placed at the normal waistline and a bit of gathering at the back are responsible for this decidedly chic treatment of the sweater cont. The conventional sailor collar is still holding its own. Some collars there are which show a marked tendency to convertibility. For example, the altogether modest collar may be loosened to drop into the smartest of cape collars. And lest the subject of stripes be forgotten altogether, all the sweater stripes are not straight up and down. Startingly brilliant effects are achieved by setting the contrasting color in points, which begin at the waistline and widen as they go down, giving a shaded appearance that is most fascinating. SHIRTWAISTS WILL BE WORN Women Will Not Give Up This Conventional and Satisfactory Raiment at Mere Dictate of Fashion. It is quite evident that women will wear the conventional shirtwaist this summer, although the short satin tunic has been the preference for the winter. The delightful feeling of something fresh and washable next the skin is not to be given up for mere fashion. One might summarize the exhibition of spring blouses as follows: Heavy Chinese silk in narrow candy stripes, in different colors, is made up in a severe style, with a rolling collar and pearl buttons. Flesh-colored chiffon, georgette and fine vole are trimmed with fletl, Irish crochet and honiton laces, and made up with long sleeves, sailor collar and groups of fine tucks in front. A hundred blouses will have a deep sailor collar edged with lace, to ten that are arranged otherwise at the neck. White crepe de chine is made into blouses, with broad panels of fletch tape extending down the front. There is a flat, turn-over collar. The sleeves are long and gathered into deep, tight cuffs of fletch lace. White chiffon is knife-plaited from shoulders to waist, with two wide bands of lace forming the front The sleeves are full, with a tight cuff of lace and a wide band of it placed at the back from shoulder to cuff. Crude tones of blue, red, green and yellow in a thick weave of Japanese silk are simply made and offered for use with dark tailored suits. JOINS COMFORT AND BEAUTY Dress on conserving with care. The burning rays of the summer sun will hold no thought of discomfort in such a smart and light white silk jersey sports suit as this. It is daintily embroidered in silk and has the sash effect in front, ending in long tassels. The hat is of fine white straw, such as the emartest dressed young ladies like to wear. ning stitches up through the end of the new wool for several inches. When the ends joined thus are knitted up they cannot pull apart, and there are no bulky knots to be reckoned with and coaxed to the wrong side of the work. If you are the happy possessor of a knit sweater, either machine or hand knit, and you have the misfortune to tear it or catch a thread which will pull farther or leave a run unless caught down again, don't forget the threads of the tassel. One of these will go a long way to repair damages if none of the original wool is available. Solid Colors for Gowns Considerable amount of green is being worn both in suits and dresses. In suits it is not infrequent to see green predominating in plaid designs, used on the bias on the skirt or only as trimming. For one-piece dresses solid colored fabrics are almost always employed. The greens seen are of the dark and warm variety, somewhat likg sap green or light shades of Russian green. The trimming uses with these greens are reds, citron, black, buff.
