--- THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO.38. SILK IS REPLACED BY WOOLEN JERSEY THE BROTHERS WILL BE STRONGER Unimportant Sport Material Changed in Season to Important Standard Fabric. Women Are Not Expected to Accept Argument That They Should Show Patriotism by Buying No New Clothes. New York.—Despite the persuasion, pleading and argument of the hundreds of women who have organized themselves for preparedness to the effect that women do not buy any more clothes, but give this money to national defense, the process of arranging new apparel to meet the season goes steadily on. Surely, the appeal of these women must be based on ignorance of conditions, for they have the welfare of humanity in their hearts or they would not organize into bands for civic help; but to plead that no woman should buy new clothes and that she should frown upon the pigpig and the melon skirt because they are new fashions and demand the purchasing of new clothes, is to argue in a way that would take the very food out of the mouths of millions of workers. These women argue that we should follow the example of France, England and Germany and that our women should make a sacrifice of clothes in order to show their national spirit. But why? The resources of France, England and England were needed for war, which began sparing them without any warning and found them unprepared financially. This isn't a fragment of the imagination, but the statement of financiers and capitals of industry. Women Will Buy Clothes. Women Will Buy Clothes. However, it takes very little argument to persuade women that their manners are worth showing and spending their money on clothes, if they have it to spend. Everybody is benefited all down the line, to the little cash girl six years old in the slums of the city, whose money is needed to give more bread to her family. Therefore, accepting the fact that new fashions will be as popular as ever and that new clothes will spring up afresh as the leaves on the trees and the grass on the ground, it best could be resolved by telling it is wise to buy, but rather arguing for and against buying. A summary of what is accepted may be wise at this time. To begin with, there never has been a season, when so much worsted jersey was worn. The doom of the average skirt and silk sweater was struck when the fashionable season at the winter resorts opened on the first of the new year. The one-piece frock of any material superceded the other two garments in some worn, made of anything from vel- This gown was worn by Mme. Pagulin at her opening in Paris, and it gave the final seal of approval to the new silhouette. It is of dark blue taffeta embroidered in Nattier blue. The sleeves are bell-shaped, the hips are distended by drapery, and there is a narrow belt that ties in the back. vet to stockinet, but the silk sweater was second and third class wherever high fashion was foreenathered. The number of one-piece frocks in worsted jersey is astonishing. The French designers, aided by the Amer- ficus, have produced a wide range of these garments, and they are accepted for the street as well as for the country and also appear at afternoon teas. When a designer like Gabrielle Chanel takes up horizon blue jersey in an excessively supple and fine weave which resembles the best quality of stockinet, and makes it into a charming one-piece frock combined with biscuit-colored jersey, then it is natural that women want sufit clothes. Becomes Standard Material. The dominant thing that has been done this season is to change jersey from an unimportant sport material into an important standard material. It rivals sergé and crepe do chiffre. Strange to say, the silk weave is absent from the French gown, and gowns and suits of it are sold by the American dressmakers at absurdu low prices, as if they knew that its doom was sealed. Biscuit, string color and three tones of gray rute in the one-piece wooden jersey frocks, but dark blue, dull red and horizon blue are coming strongly into favor. These frocks are usually made in one piece, and all the varieties of drapery and plating and barreling that prevail in the other fashion are now available. This material has also been introduced into juvenile clothes with marigold success. It promises to supersede muslin, silk and linen. Romp- This evening gown is of white satin, the skirt embroidered in gold. The pointed bodice is of black velvet with shoulder straps of jet and jet ornament with tassels in front. ers, country clothes and beach suits are made by the hundreds in white, horizon blue, deep pink and gray touched with blue and silver. This is an excellent idea, for the material does not wrinkle, is easily cleaned or washed and does not shrink. It also goes longer without froning than any other kind of fabric intended for constant service. Another segment of the wheel of fashion in which this woolen jersey has appeared is the long cape gathered to a slight yoke at the shoulders, with slits at each side for the arms and finished at the top with an immense handkerchief collar that fastens on the left shoulder. These capes are beautifully figured Chinese and Japanese silts. The Cape, not the Coat. Another distinct change in fashions is the insistence upon capes instead of topcoats. Mue, Puquin and Mue, Georgette wore these capes in Paris all through the winter and featured them at the spring openings. The house of Cherult also turned out a goodly number of them, with all the peculiar tricks that belong to this little group of designers. The only topcats that the smart houses offer are for sport use, and they are made of colored velvetweave and stockinet jersey in bold, gay design. For other hours and purposes, the cape is offered instead of the topcoat. It is of serge lined with figured crepe; it is of satin lined with horizon blue or flamingo pink; it is of Chinese blue woolen jersey lined with gray; and it is in gray, lined with pink, blue or yellow. A woman will own as many capes at she owned sweaters. They not only appear as outdoor garments, but as indoor accessories to house gowns. They are also used for late afternoon and evening wear, shoes, and as clothing of cliffson or pet. They are bonded with bright materials in the same color, they are lavishy embroidered with beads, silk floss and bullion threads, and again they are made of chanilly, Spanish or flet lace, unlined and undropped. There is no limit set on the usage of figured silk for linings and facings, and the capes offer excellent advantages for this fashion. This trick never had such instant success as this season. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A Knitted Sports Costume. Among the costumes lately arrived from Pursis is a knitted sports costume consisting of a narrow skirt and sweater blouse, the model made of white yarn showing a border effect of large red roses placed at intervals around lower part of skirt. The mannequin wore with this costume a knitted tunic to match. Another idea was a knitted yarn blouse worn with a skirt of "Kasha" and still another unique sports suit was developed of white Kusha showing narrow skirt slit up to the knees; a band of woolen embroidery in a Paisley pattern defined the slit on either side. The jacket was adorned with embroidery to correspond. The New Crepe Jersey One of the most attractive of the spring fabrics is the new crepe jersey, which comes in all the new shades. From a little distance it is almost impossible to distinguish this wool material from heavy Chinese crochet. Yet it has all the wearing quality of Jersey ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917. The row Democratic government of Russia is sending as ambassador to the United States Simon Roman Romanovitch Rosen. He is well known in this country, having been the Russian ambassador to the United States from 1905 to 1915, when he was succeeded by M. Bakhme-teff. RUSSIA TO BATTLE ON Will Not Make. Separate Peace With Germany. Report Says Wilson's Allusion to Revolution in Address Made Deep Impression on Russians. Washington, D. C. — An official dispatch from Petrograd, just received by the state department stated that the can be no separate peace between Russia and Germany. Reports that the overthrow of the Russian czar would result in Russia forsaking the entente were denied in the dispatch, the author of which was not given. The official announcement, in part, of the state department follows: "The department of state has received a telegraphed report on conditions in Russia. Concern is shown over reports of the possibility of a 'separate peace' which have appeared in the press, evidently inspired by Germany. The telegram says that Russia is no more likely to abandon the war without achieving her object than is the United States. It is pointed out that the charge that the imperial administration was planning a separate peace caused its overthrow and hastened the revolution, which was brief and bloodless. Wilson's thrilling allusion to the Russian revolution in his address to congress has made a deep and lasting impression on the Russian people. "If Americans are incensed at the intrigues and underhanded machinations of Germany in their midst and on their border, Russians have, fourfold cause for like resentment and will make any sacrifice rather than conclude a separate peace." ONE DEAD, ONE HURT, IN FIGHT OVER WOMAN Erie, Pa. — One man is dead and another dying as the result of a duel fought, here over a woman with whom both were infatuated. The dead man was Joseph Haley, 38, late of Brighton, Mass., a munitions maker. His confessed slayer is William Burke, 40, of Scranton, Pa., who came here recently from Buffalo. The men roomed at the Colonial hotel. Haley accused Burke of stealing the affections of a young woman employee of the hotel and started to throw him out. The fight started in the kitchen. Haley drew a razor, record-keeping device. Burke had been slashed on the head and face several times, he seized a butcher knife with a 9-inch blade and fought back. The men rolled down the cellar steps into the basement and just as Haley slashed Burke across the wrist, nearly severing his right hand, Burke plunged his knife into Haley's back. Explosions Kill One. Kearney, New Jersey—Three heavy explosions, followed by fire, wrecked half of the Seboard Bi-Products plant in the Meadows on the Hackensack river, near here. One man, a watchman, was killed outright. The explosions occurred in rapid succession, beginning at 8:33 p. m. They were three big tanks filled with benzol. Immediately fire broke out in the laboratory building and quickly spread to the long tool house, and the administration building, which was under construction. U-BOATHIT BYU.S.BOY German, Diving Ship About to Hurl Torpedo Into American Vessel Is Sent to the Bottom of Ocean. London, England. --- A brilliant potshot from an American ship, manned by American gunners, sent to the bottom of the North sea a German submarine just as the U-boat, 1,000 yards away, was about to hurt a torpedo into the merchantman's vials. The ship which thus boasts of being the first of Uncle San's maritime traders to sink a U-boat, is the steampain Mongolia, of the Atlantic Transport Co.'s船, which sailed from an American port on April 4, with a crew of 146 men and an American gun crew of 18 men. Sixty-seven Americans are in her regular crew. The Star Spangled Banner fluttering proudly from her must, the latter complacently had heard a gunny into a British port. To American newspapermen greeting him at the pier, her skipping, Capt. Emmy Rice, sold the story of the exploit that is destined to become history. Gun Is Named 'Teddy.' The day of the Mongolia feat, was April 19, anniversary of the battle of Lexington, when the first shot was fired in the American Revolution. The gun that sent the fatal shot into the U-boat named the name "Teddy," having been thus "baptized" by its crow when the vessel left America. "So Teddy fired the first gun of the war after all," remarked Capt. Rice, laughingly, as he commented upon the incident. "We in the lap of the Mongolia voyage that she encountered the sea monster. The liner was going full speed when the submarine a-swisted dead ahead. The whole one-sided took just about two minutes. It was a case of "out-U-boating the U-boat." Modestly as to his own part, but with unconcealed pride in his ship, Capt. Rice told the story of the encounter. "It was 5:20 o'clock in the afternoon of the 19th," he said, "when the first mate cried: "There's a submarine off the port bow!" Gunner's Aim. True. "One of the gunners was with me on the bridge. We had been there most of the time throughout the trip. I hadn't had my clothes off for five days and nights. There was a haze over the sea and we had just taken a sounding, since we were approaching shallow waters. We were looking at dead when the first mate's cry stirred into quick action. We caught a glimpse of the U-boat as it merged at close distance. The periscope was just disappearing in a swirl of water. "Starboard wheel!" I shouted, and in the next minute we were swinging the nose of the ship toward the spot where the submarine had dived. I intended to ram it. Two minutes later it emerged again about 1,000 yards off. Evidently it proposed to catch us broadside on. "But the gunner was on the job. He had his stern gun trained full on the U-boat. He had sighted it to the inch. The next thing we heard was his command to fire and then we saw the periscope being shattered into splinters. The submarine was gone. And there isn't a shadow of a doubt that it's gone 'for good.' It is at the bottom and will never come up again." GIRL SLAYS FATHER TO SAVE REST OF FAMILY Chardon, Ohio. — Fearing that her father, temporarily crazed, would murder the entire family, pretty Ruth Meier, aged 22, shot and killed him while he was chasing her brother John, 16, with a revolver at their home on Stucky-hill. "It was his life or the lives of all of us," she said when Sheriff Phelps and Coroner J. N. Black arrived in response to a telephone call. The father, Ludwig Meier, 74, a German farmer, has been subject to violent fits of temper. The tragedy occurred while Mrs. Meier and the two girls were seated in a room of their home. Warship Launched, Ceremony Private. New York, City. — Still Another dreadnaught entered American waters as a United States sea power April 23 when the battleship New Mexico, comparing favorably offensively and defensively with any fighting vessel afloat, was launched at the New York navy yard. A ceremony which usually is made an occasion of public festivity, was of private character because the nation is at war. The New Mexico moved down the ways at five minutes before the hour set.

Argument Over the War, Which Lasted All Night, Ends In Double Murder and Suicide. Yonkers, New York. — Because his wife and mother-in-law persisted in upholding the kaiser while he stood up for America in a war argument that lasted all night; the Rev. Robert F. Berry, pastor of the Congregational church in the Bronx Manor section of Yonkers, shot and killed both women. He wounded his sister-in-law, who escaped by feigning death, and then he committed suicide. The clergyman left a note bearing only two words—"Insane Prussians." The note and revolver were found beside his body. Over the porch of the clergyman's home where the shooting occurred there floated the Stars and Stripes as young children, daughters of the clergyman and his wife, were in their room. Their father made no attempt to harm them. The police obtained their explanation of the tragedy from Miss Caroline Bahr, Mr. Berry's sister-in-law. Mrs. Caroline Bahr, 72, mother of Miss Bahr and Mrs. Berry, was the other victim of the tragedy. He was about 45 years old and had been a clergyman for about 2 years. He was a leader in patriotic movements and was the head of the local home guard, which he helped to organize. BALFOUR IS CHEERED BY MANY AMERICANS Washington, D. C. — The British mission, headed by Arthur J. Balfour, arrived safely in Washington Sunday afternoon, and after passing through cheering throngs at the union station and the crowded streets which led to the home of Breckenridge Long, third assistant secretary of state, in 16th street, the members of the mission are resting up for the labors that await them. When Mr. Balfour made his way from the presidential room in the east end of the station, accompanied by Secretary Lansing and Col. Harts, President Wilson's military aide, there was a storm of handclapping and cheering. As he entered the gateway, Mr. Balfour acknowledged the enthousiasm popular reception by raising his hat, which he carried as he walked between the hands of people to a waiting automobile. Mr. Balfour later called on President Wilson, Vice President Marshall and Secretary Lansing. He lunched with the French ambassador, J. Jusserand, and dined at the White House. Huge Grain Elevators Destroyed. Erie, Penna. — Fire, believed to have been of an incendial origin, which broke out late at night, completely destroyed the huge grain elevators of the Anchor line and threatened destruction of the entire water front. All that remains of the elevators is a huge, smouldering mass of grain. Many million bushels were stored in the structures. Every fire tug and many vessels in the harbor devoted every effort to prevent the fire spreading to the long rows of frame structure and docks. M.

Macon, Ga., April 24, 1917. Editor, assette, Dear friend. The avenue to poor southern Afro-American is going to the North or some other section of the country other than this terrible South. Many lives have been taken in this great world war but I do truly believe that you are not alone. I am the people of the South. Oh! how they are rejoicing over it. Now, dear friend, you good people in the North have much to do in the matter. They never, before, enjoyed such freedom and every work they did. Get yourselves together, find out where they are working, go at the noon hour and take about ten minutes of their time to tell them how to behave on the streetclubs and in other public places. Do this not once only and every week. Get something up in the church clubs and other organizations and let them see that you are mindful of them. Watch out for the mistakes they make and tell them of them and what to do, in other words. If people were down here and saw how they are treated you would feel sorry for them. Don't get weary of doing for them. I am so happy that God has opened a way for them. You can't express your feelings in such a way been so badly, treated down here. Do let me entreat you people to find out where they work and give them kind talks. Invite them to your meetings. Show yourself friendly. I send you this newspaper clipping. It is true. FINED FOR.

Policeman Pierce said that she interfered with him when he attempted to arrest her daughter for harceny. Her head was bandaged, she was in a wheelchair, and said she had been to the hospital to have her wounds dressed. The policeman admitted hitting her over the head with his club when she was in a wheelchair, and said daughter, accused of stealing 50 cents, was bound over to the city court under a $100 bond and the mother was fined $10.75.

Cox will talk on "Ohio and War" to members of the City Club (Cleveland) at their weekly Saturday luncheon and meeting, April 28. There are several Afro-American leaders, at least one, if not all of them, ought to call Cox's attention to the following and ask him why "The Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger" are being permitted to exhibit in Ohio: War veterans have just been banned in Pennsylvania and are censors. Any film showing the horrors of war in a vivid manner is taboo. It is believed these pictures would-deter people from enlisting. Productions like "The Nigger", "Civilization", the "Bible", "Civilization", of a nation", "Womanhood", "War Brides" and "Patria" probably will be the first to go. Most war pictures depict Germans, thinly disguised, invading this country. This, it is held, also incites bad feeling.

Jacob Schiff opposes the formation of special Jewish regiments and "brigade" units, which should have nothing but plain American troops. The best evidence people of any nation can give that they are Americans is to drop all other distinctions—and be Americans. We want no Jewish regiments, German regiments, Polish regiments, or any other national regiment, except plain American ones.

The senseless and cruel persecution which has turned the majority of Jews throughout the world against them is the scutcheon of the entente.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 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. Col. Theodore Roosevelt says the Kaiser is no "white man." Comment unnecessary. The effort to segregate our people in the public schools and in certain residence districts of Chicago, that broke out immediately after that city's "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. was assured, is again making life miserable for our people of that city. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to The Champion Magazine, 5 E. 36th. Place, Chicago, for the excellent cut of Sabac-El-Cher used in this issue of our paper. The recent issue of The Champion Magazine was easily the best sent out by any of our magazines in many months.

City, last week, to the daily papers announced that "more than 25,000 Negroes had applied for enlistment" in Col. Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt's prospective division for service in France. This is such a monumental newspaper lie that it is really surprising that even at this time any reputable American newspaper would publish it. It will pay some people to learn the real feeling of the masses of our people to ward both Roosevelt and the Wilson administration. And we are LOYAL too! Dr. J. E. Spingarn should abandon his effort to segregate Afro-Americans in a "jim-crow" military training camp. It is a rank insult to the race which it will not soon forget regardless of the fact that some of our men have been foolish and thoughtless enough to encourage his "bad break." Just when we were doing our utmost against governmental segregation of Afro-American employees Dr. Spingarn, whom we regarded as one of our truest and best white friends because of his aggressive efforts of last year and the year previous against all kinds of segregation, comes forward with his latest effort—one to saddle more insulting segregation upon an already too heavily burdened people. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pays Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois a salary of $2500. If it has not been increased in recent years because of the high cost of living, etc. Pretty "nifty" salary for the editor of "The Crisis," isn't it? For years he has received at least that amount each year—ever since he was brought North, from Georgia, where he was a member of the faculty of Atlanta University, by the white promoters of the organization. We do not object to the pay he receives but we have a right, since the N. A. A. C. P. has been and is so very industrial in its efforts to collect money from our people, to expect larger and better returns from both the organization and the man. What do our race papers think about it? A CIVIL RIGHTS VICTORY. After many months' litigation the Daw-Moser case has finally been won by Mr. Edward Daw. Another victory under our Ohio Civil Rights' law! Otto Moser's denial of Mr. Daw must have cost him between three and $500. The case was of PRIME interest to ALL of our people of this community because it affected our RIGHTS in public places, and we are all under many obligations to Mr. Daw for his exhibition of REAL manhood, self and race respect. If only more of our people would do as he has done, when denied their rights in public places, it would not be long until there would be lylett or no drawing of the color line in such places at least. HURRAH FOR EDW. DAW! Senator W. T. Clark, who associated H. Martin, Eag, in the case toward the end as a result of the death of his first assistant, deserves great credit, too, for the sterling fight he made in this case and ALWAYS makes when representing our people. Likewise, Attorney Martin. Mr. Clark, as a state senator in 1894, helped the editor of The Gazette pass the law under which the Daw-Moser case was tried and won. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" The Cleveland Ministers' Alliance, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the C. A. of C. M. all of whom claimed several weeks ago to have "The Birth of a Nation" stopped—with Mayor Davis' assurances and power behind them — FAILED ingloriously! But a democratic mayor of Cleveland (now Secretary of War N. T. Baker) stopped the Jack Johnson-Jim Jeffries fight-pictures, several years ago, on the ground their exhibition in this city might encourage mob violence, riots, etc. The movement AGAINST the Johnson-Jeffries fight-pictures originated in the south where the far-worse pictures of the infamous "Birth of a Nation" had their strangle. Strange and inconsistent isn't it? The Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the Caterers' Association should remember, how they support such misreatment as they are receiving from the exhibition of the miserable "Birth of a Nation" pictures at the Opera house, every time they patronize "color-line" Luna Park for August 1st celebrations, clam-bakes, etc., respectively. Such mistreatment feeds on itself and any encouragement WE give any phase of it only makes conditions, generally, worse for our people. WHAT ABOUT THE N. A. A. C. P.? Much as we dislike to entertain such an idea it certainly does begin to look to us as if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was promoted and has been maintained by New York City white men of wealth and prominence for the express purpose of controlling in as large a measure as possible our people of this country. When Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the N. Y. Evening Post Publishing Co. and one of the editors of that paper, resigned recently from the board of the Crisis, the organ of the N. A. A. C. P., because he differed from the many stand of the editor of that publication on a question of citizen-rights for those of the race in the South, particularly; and for the second or third time, so he (Villard) said, endeavored to resign as treasurer of the organization, considerable comment was caused among the thoughtful ones of the race in this section of the country, at least, and suspicion was aroused. This was only increased when Editor W. E. B. Du Bois, evidently under pressure from leading white officers of the N. A. A. C. P., ABOUT-FACED and endorsed Dr. J. E. Spingar's "bad break"—advocating a "jim-crow" military training camp for Afro-American volunteer officers, in the face of his former aggressive stand against all forms of segregation. Villard and Spingar are two of the three most active white officers of the organization and the latter was decidedly the most popular up to the time of his "bad break", a few weeks ago. Now comes the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Roy Nash, the third most active white officer, with a long "searc" which is intended to make them promote a greater desire to enlist the of our men generally to enlist in the U. S. army (when PERMITTED to do so) even though they are "smarting under old and new insults and wrongs" and "regardless of just grievances" against national, state and municipal governments as well as many prominent individuals. There is so much similarity of expression in the statements issued by all three gentlemen, Villard, Spingar and Nash, all asking in effect that our people make additional sacrifice of rights and privileges, at least temporarily, "for the good of the country" etc., that one can hardly think thinking that the N. A. A. C. P. was promoted and has been maintained for a purpose other than for "the advancement of colored people" only. Then when one remembers that never during all the years of its organization has it gone into the U. S. Supreme court with a case of its own against disfranchisement or "jim-crow" railroad cars at the South, of the three great issues of most concern to the masses of our people for many years, segregation being a lesser issue of recent years and mob violence being one that the U. S. supreme court has relegated to the states, we cannot be blamed for questioning the sincerity of the controlling element of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In his recent letter, Secretary Nash says: "We urge the importance, just now, of making a declaration of the Negro's loyalty to the flag, regardless of his just grievances against the Administration or the country", etc. Dr. Spingarn's excuse for his "bad break" was in part that it was necessary: "To show a loyalty (upon the part of our people) which in the whole history of the nation has never faltered." Nor is seriously or successfully questioned now. Look at the matter from any angle, this wholesale asking of our people just at this time to continue making sacrifice of rights and privileges in the face of "old and new insults and wrongs", and by the white officers of an organization supposed to be for "the advancement of colored people", forces one to do a lot of thinking that is not at all favorable to the N. A. A. C. P. What do our leading race papers think about it? Dog as an Idler. No doubt some of the higher animals are given to mental philosophy and meditation. It is more than likely that animals of the horse and dog kind possess reasoning faculties well developed. If so, no doubt they meditate on the inequalities of life and the disadvantages to which they were born; but that they envy the human loafer is incredible! The dog is a habitual idler, not employed in hunting or as a "burglar alarm." And yet we have Shakespeare's assurance that "it's better to be a dog and buy the moon" than an idle Roman—Julius Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle.

He is a real come-back though he did not win the honors to Andy Kelley in the Smart Squad yard dash in New York the other night. We are told that up to a few weeks ago Drew's left thigh measured two inches less than his right, "due to the affection of the seiatric," caused by the injury to his spine, when he broke down last August. And yet Drew on Friday last held Andy Kelley to a dead heat and was beaten only by inches in the run-off, won in 101-5s, fast time on the boards. Fritz Kelley was the only low hurdles, even defeating Champion Eller-Boston daily Globe. April 16. Says the N. Y. City Amsterdam News, J. H. Anderson, editor: "The Colored American is ready as usual to fight. But while he is laving the battlefields with his blood he wants a guarantee that his women and children will not be outraged and lynched in his absence and that on his return to the 'land of the free' he will not be returned to the ghetto of prejudice and injustice. For these changes he is going to agitate the while he is fighting, for he is determined not to leave these questions for settlement at the end of the war. The examples of history and his own bitter experience warm him to make that misstep to be able to the aid of Flanders for the cause of Liberty he wants to see that cause triumphant throughout every corner of the globe. LIBERTY FOR ALL!' is his slogan and his determination. "Let us at least agree to such a program — Boston Guardian."

Solomon and Esau were very great friends; indeed, so friendly were they that Solomon did not know how best to remind Esau of a little matter which remained unsettled between them. Then a bright idea struck him, and he spoke to Esau thuswise. "Esau, what is the difference between the words remember and recollect? Esau could see no difference. "Then," said Solomon, "let me show you the difference. Do you remember that fine valiantcot you haf from me?" Esau—Yes, Sol." Solomon—"Do you recollect paying for it?"

One of the officers of the Epoch Producing Co., which controls the miserable photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," told an Afro-American employee of the Hollenden house, week before last, that the tool-demonstration, in front of the Opera house that week, which "Star" led and called a "riot," gave the infamous photoplay more than $10,000 worth of free advertising. The individual or individuals who suggested the demonstration ought to have their heads examined by a police man. It is certainly rumored that the Epoch Producing Co. encouraged, if indeed it did not promote, the fool-demonstration. The first week's exhibit netted the company $13,000. American Turpentine. American turpentine is obtained chiefly from the longleaf pine, and the immense importance to which the trade in naval stores has come may be shown by the fact that in order to supply the demand for spirits of turpentine, rosin and other products of the pine tree's resin there must be invaded annually 800,000 acres of virgin forest to make good the decreasing yield of the trees already tapped.

The International Longfellow society recently celebrated the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the birth of the bard. The center of the Longfellow observance was Portland, Me, where he was born on February 27, 1807. Portland has two shrines of the poet. The principal Longfellow museum is the old colonial house at Hancock and Forest streets in the Pine Tree state metropolis, where the poet was born. The other shrine is the house in Congress street, where he lived for many years, and which was a gift, to the Maine Historical society from Longfellow's sister. For many years the three-story house where Longfellow was born was used as a tenement, and all reminders of its literary association were obliterated. Then it came into the possession of the International Longfellow society, which has members in every country of Europe and Asia, Africa and Australia, as well as In America. The old house was restored and stocked with furniture of the colonial YOUR HEALTH AND THE WAR By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON, Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. Since we are at war, let us have the lesson of the tremendous bearing of health problems on our armies in camp and our citizens at home well learned, so that we may not have to learn it by bitter and calamitous experience. It would seem to be a late date to point out the almost self-evident fact that sickness will decrease the national efficiency by just so much, whether it be among soldiers or noncombatants, but the general public does not give enough attention to this aspect of war's demands, the accent being placed on more spectacular elements of preparedness. Each individual must consider himself a unit of our great population to be kept able to meet whatever comes along. If there was ever a time when the individual had the duty of taking thought of how he could keep in good health, it is now. One of the first elements of the health of a nation at war—or at peace, for that matter—is its food. It cannot be healthy and strong without good food, and plenty of it. Therefore agriculture and gardening must be intelligently and intensively stimulated, so that larger crops shall be brought forth. The housewife's task will be to economize the food supply and cook it with skill, so as to make her meals tasty and digestible. The streams from which our domestic water supply comes should be carefully guarded against pollution, so that communities shall not run the Mother's Cook Book Creed of the Open Road-To do our own thinking, listening quietly to the opinions of others, but to be sufficiently men and woman to act always upon our own convictions-Ralph Waldo Trine. Spring Foods. The importance of teaching children to eat and enjoy vegetable food is a most important one for all mothers to consider. Vegetables add bulk to the food, holding foods in such manner that the digestive juices have free access. Vegetables contain valuable mineral matters which are investimably valuable to the growing child, in fact indispensable to a good body structure of bones and muscles. The mineral matter keeps the blood in good balance, supply elasticity to the blood vessels and do many other things to the functioning of the body. The combination of spinach, carrots, an onion or two with a little celery all cooked together is a most satisfactory mixture containing the valuable mineral salts essential to the young, growing child. This may be given as a puree, or finely chopped, seasoned with butter or in a chicken or mutton broth as a vegetable soup. To remember that the mineral salts are soluble in water is a most vital period, as well as with exhibitions of various kinds relating to the poet and his works. Martyrs of Japan. Despite the thousands of missionaries sent to Japan, and the sums spent in Christian propaganda there, Christianity has made but little headway. The pagan faiths retain their hold on the masses of the people. Among the educated and the "intellectuals" agnosticism and atheism are almost universal. It is not generally known that Japan has a Christian festival all of its own; but such is the case. February 5 having been set apart by the Catholic church in honor of the martyrs of Japan. These were the converts at St. Francis Xavier, who introduced Christianity into Nippon in the sixteenth century, and made a number of converts. The native Christians were subjected to a relentless persecution, and many of them put to death. About being carried away with enthusiasm the worst feature is that we always have to walk back. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917. SLIP SHOWS STYLE BARREL HANDBA AMERICA FIRST There are places I know where I'd love to go. There are things that I long to do. There are times when my heart, with a longing to start. Will ache, but I fight it through. On the distant shores, where the cannon roars, Perchance I may long to be. But I will take my stand in freedom's land—America first for me. There are deeds untold in the world of old. There are rumors and dark events. And the facts unfold till my blood runs cold And my very soul resents; And I bow my head for the countless dead. As I pray upon banded knee, To bless each grave by him who gave America first to me. Through the darkest night it was freedom's light. I showed me the way to go; I followed me and it led me here. To the fairest land I know. So I leave behind all that bind To those beyond the sea. And I will take my stand in Liberty's land. risk of being infected with some deadly disease. Vaccination against typhoid is a valuable step in preparedness under conditions as they are at present. The time has come to consider these matters in a spirit of patriotism. It is the duty of every citizen to attain physical fitness, and of the people as a whole, to take measures for the increased production of food materials. Wanton destruction of food is an injury to our country just as positively as destruction of munitions or arms, for in the last analysis a nation that is well fed is the nation that will prevail. These are matters already claiming the attention of the federal government. Hand to hand with the mobilization of factories and munitions must go the mobilization of agricultural products, the planting of as many acres of land as possible with grain and vegetables, and the distribution of the crops in the most economical way. Tea Production Grows. The world's production of tea in 1915-1916 exceeded the figures of all other years recorded. India, Ceylon and Java produced 100,000,000 pounds more than in the previous year, the Indian harvest alone surpassing that of 1914-1915 by 55,500,000 pounds. Shipments from Java reached 96,000,000, an increase of 12,000,000 pounds over the previous year. Shipments from China showed a steady diminution, dropping from 8,500,000 pounds in 1914-1915, to 3,300,000 last year. Though the world's consumption of tea has tripled in the last thirty years, the production of tea in China has remained almost stationary. Bird Spider Whether or not the bird spider actually eats birds has not been established. It is called a bird-eating spider, but has never been detected attacking or eating its supposed prey, nor have any traces of its food been discovered in its burrows. Its body is about two inches long, black and very hairy. Counting legs and all, it is about a foot in diameter. Its habitat is tropical and subtropical America.—Philadelphia Ledger. thing, as many cooks throw away the water in which vegetables are cooked, losing the very elements that make vegetable food valuable. A little care and thought should be given to the cooking of young, tender, succulent vegetables, allowing them to cook in just water enough to keep them from burning, and that water should then be added to the seasonings in the form of a sauce. If that method is not desired, the liquid may be saved and put into the soup pot, thus saving all the mineral elements. The cooking of vegetables in a large amount of water and throwing it way is a most reprehenisble waste, and one that should be most soundly condemned. One of the most important beginnings in teaching children to eat and like all kinds of vegetables is that the parents should always partake of them. Children as a rule cannot be forced into eating things that are objectionable, and they have a right to object if the head of the family does not eat them, for he is the pattern and example which all children love to follow. If daddy eats carrots and spinach it is comparatively easy to overcome any prejudice on the part of the children if they are taught early enough. The early greens that come first in the spring are rich in iron and should be eaten frequently. Spinach should be cooked in as little water as possible, not to waste any of the precious minerals. Many Havens for Birds. The bird reservations of the United States, fostered by the National Association of Audubon Societies, now number 70. They include refuges for gulls and terms on the Malne coast, axilums for egrets in Florida, a line of reservations along the Mississippi river migration route, and a reservation larger than Connecticut in the Yukon delta of Alaska. An important one exists in the Hawaiian islands, with a new one in the Canal zone. Dr. T. G. Pearson of the conservation commission of Canada, urges the need of reservations in the northern part of the hemisphere, and especially in Labrador, where the waste of bird life is enormous. First Eight-Hour Law The first law fixing the hours of labor at eight was enacted in New York 50 years ago, in 1857, to be exact. A joker in the law, however, prevented its being much more than a dend letter, for it was also provided that the law should apply only "where there is no contract or agreement to the contract." SLIP SHOWS STYLE Smartness Can Be Worked Into Youngster's Clothes. Mothers Are Inclined to Err on Side of Simplicity in Avoiding Overdressing of the Little One. It is not an easy matter to work style or smartness into the youngster's everyday clothes. One is so afraid of overdressing the little one, and, of course, it is far better to err on the side of simplicity. It is, therefore, welcome delight that the mother or woman with small children to dress feels when she comes across such a smart little slip as this to be made from a lightweight linen or chambray. The whole chic of the frock centers in the crossed straps, which, with their contrasting stitching and oddly looped 1 Smart Frock for Youngster. ends, suggest suspenders. For this reason this may be found a useful model for the small boy's snuck, slightly shortened to be worn over bloomers or little straight pants. Aside from the bretelles, the frock is simple enough. The inserted panel at the front gives an unusual line without much extra trouble. Sleeves are raglan, and the collar a plain lay-down affair of contrasting material, probably plique. This slip can open at one side of the front panel from the shoulder down; just enough to allow the garment to be slipped over the head. The strap arrangement can be repented in the back, without the wedge-shaped panel, however. SILKS FOR OUTING SKIRTS New Designs for Sports Wear Have Huge Discounts or Broken Materials. See Collar. If there is anything more luxurious than a satin-soft silk skirts skirt one cannot guess what it can be. The very sensation of playing golf and tennis in a shimmering silk skirt must convey a suggestion of well-being. New sports skirts for these skirts have huge disks in plain or broken stripe colors and the skirt is smartest when platted or gathered below a fitted yoke, a broad sash of the material going twice around and knotting below one hip. Very fetching is a pattern of Roman striped disks on a wedgewood blue ground; another pattern shows green disks on a pale tan ground—this in light shantung weave. Sports silks in the soft La Jerz weave, which will not stretch like ordinary Jersey silk, have rose pink dots on a white ground, and one may buy plain rose La Jerz for trimnings and coat. Of course, there are many other colorings, but the rose hue seems to be loveliest of all. Copper-colored blouses are gaining ground so fast that the fashionable mustard shade is beginning to look a bit green with jealousy. The copper-hued blouses are of lustrous silk, like soiree and faille matinee, or of satin meteor. They are simply made, hem-stitchings or rows of machine stitching in self-colored sewing silk giving a dainty finish. How to Clean Oilcloth. To clean oilcloth, first wash with warm soap and water, dry it, then rub over with a little milk and polish with a dry cloth. The grease in the milk preserves the oilcloth and keeps its color bright. As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.—A Ricard. A Black Negligee. The intest negigee is black from chin to toe; not somber, heavy black, but the airiest of black chantilly with tulle floating here and there in scarf or sash. Under the chantilly negigee are sewed scraps of black net and through these is run a broad ribbon sash in ciel blue, the delicate color showing through the black lace. The black negigee with its dainty blue sash is supposed to be worn over brassle and petticoat of white silk, so that the pattern of the black lace will show up to advantage. Draped Voils Are Smart Draped Vells With the small, high-crowned straw and silk turbans of spring, the long, draped vell is exceedingly smart. These vells come in the fine mesh patterns with all the decoration on the border, which is often very deep and quite elaborate. Soutache embroidered borders are most striking. These vells are draped around the small turban, pinned at the back and allowed to float around the shoulders and in long ends at the back. Black is the favored color in spring vells of this character. BARREL HANDBAGS ARE NEXT Those for Summer Use Must Be Large Despite Numerous Pockets Provided in New Frocks. Handbags for summer constitute one of the great, handy, perennial problems of the well-dressed woman. But each summer brings its own solutions. Already the matter has been well thought out for next summer—both in the way of sports bags and dress bags. The strange thing is that these handbags must be large affairs—just as if milady didn't have a half-dozen pockets here and about her clothes. But the even stranger thing than that is that the bags are to be modeled on the same lines as are the frocks, and barrel bags will be quite the thing to match the stave skirts. The simplest thing in a sports bag is one of sports skirt to match or contrast well with the sports skirt or sweater. Infinite variations in material and make are here possible. Figured models in khaki kool are excellent. Paisley and beads still hold good, and will all through the summer. A Paisley bag is a very satisfying finish to a colorful summer costume. Either Paisley, beads or appliqued silk in old Indian, Chinese or Russian designs are the best for dressy wear. The ramifications are innumerable—suede on moire, silk on veil and many others. Perhaps beaded moire satin is the most popular. Most of the bags are made on frames, and many contain several small bags, so that one of these charming and innocent-looking accessories may be in reality a whole travelling case or the concealer of a bomb. SASHES INCREASE IN SIZE Used With Every Kind of Gown and There Is No Limit to What May Be Done With Them. As the sashes grow more ornamental and increase in size, the gowns may merely be accessories to them. The Japanese obi, which was introduced by Jenny, has a dozen or more rivals on every kind of gown, from a sport suit of Jersey to a ball gown of bullion-stamped satin. There are sashes that wrap around the waist three times, to outline the various places where a sash is supposed to be; there are sashes that go over the shoulders, pass around the waist, drop down the back of the skirt, and across over the hem in front to give a barrel effect below the knees. In truth, there is no limit to what is done with sashes. Splendid ribbons are used, the kind that were made by hand in the sixteenth century. They are beautiful enough in themselves for gowns, with the addition of a bit of lace or crystals. POINTED COLLAR POPULAR Sapphire Bodsworth Sutherland The long pointed collar on this charming beige suit, is something new that may be a predominating fashion during the summer months. The suit is built on long lines, that is the prevailing type for the summer. The collar and vestle are of faille. The black isisere hat has a novel sirl veil and is set off remarkably well by the huge blue velvet bow. though taupes, grays, browns and even plums are noted in face veils. The latter are drawn in neatly beneath the chin, giving hat and hair a neat, trim effect. Some veils have patterns so arranged that the design comes over the front of the hat instead of over the face portion of the veil. Long and Short Chains Both long and short chains, very Oriental looking, have lately become intriched in the mode. They are worn principally, with daytime gowns, and especially with the one-piece frocks and with the soft blouses, to which they lend a piquant charm. Jade, amber and odd red stones in a curious, Eastern melange are strung on colored or gold cord. Often they are widely different shapes and sizes, strung with suave intent together. There are also beads made of filigree gold which are strung alternately with those of jade and other seinilprecious stones. Besides the very expensive necklaces there are some really good chains of composition materials. Broaches, rings and earrings come to match. AIR OF THE ORIENT Tendency of Past Year Has Grown Stronger This Season—Idea Prevalent Even in the Sweaters. Many months ago—in fact, with the showing of extreme models in the spring of 1910—a decidedly oriental note was heralded, and a great many garments that borrowed either line or coloring from the far East were shown. In the year that has passed this tendency has grown stronger, and especially the Chinese influences recognized. The summer crop of tub frocks shows many tailored dresses and sport suits with coats or blouses suggest THE FASHION WEEKLY Chinese Note Even in Sweaters. ing the mandarin jacket, and negligee garments have not escaped the same influence. In fact, Chinese mandarin coats and accompanying Chinese trousers have been found extremely desirable and becoming for boudour wear. The sweater shown in the sketch is of fine white wool jersey cloth, cut a mandarin coat, and embroidered in Chinese blue soutache braid. The garment is quite straight, as will be noted, held in at the waist with a loosely caught sash and equipped with generous pockets. It is also shown in the shops in Chinese blue, embroidered in white or in colors. It might really be made at home, as it is a seamed affair, fashioned of wool jersey fabric, not a conventional knitted sweater. If home-made, great care must be taken to apply the braid neatly and firmly, as poor workmanship appears at its very worst on the jersey weave fabrics. In purchasing a sweater this season it is well to bear in mind that the slip-over-the-head models are the very latest, and they are practical as well. A sweater that does not have to be buttoned and unbuttoned certainly keeps its shape better than one that does. TOUCHWOOD IS USED ON HATS French Responsible for Adoption of This Unusual Material—Real and Imitation Coral in Demand. In this country we have known what touchwood is. Small ornaments of it have been bought by women and given as gifts or carried in purses for luck. But it was left to France to introduce it as a trimming for hats. The French women have been wearing ornaments made of this wood, many bits of it being mingled with precious stones arranged in rings and bracelets. It was a bit of superstition that came into use at the beginning of the war and it rapidly grew into a universal French fashion. New hats are trimmed with touchwood ornaments as crown bands and for piping on brims. Coral, real and initiation, will be used in the new spring millinery. Italy is supplying a large demand for it. Coral, figures are placed against the straw and satin hats, embroidery is done in coral beads, and one new spring hat has large blue woolen roses, with the hearts made of coral beads. Pocketa. Two-in-one pockets are a style feature of interest. They are two pockets in one panel, the patch pocket being slit at the bottom to hold small coins for change. MUSLINS HAVE BEEN REVIVED Striped and Checked Fabrics of This Kind Are Expected to Prove Popular During the Summer. Someone at the head of the weaving industry decided that it was time to revive all manner of muslins for summer use, and the shop windows are filled with alluring fabrics that show many of the old-fashioned designs. There are stripes and checks and flowers in pink, blue, red and yellow. These muslins will be made up with fine embroidery as a trimming, or fletter or Irish crochet lace, both of which have come back into fashion. It is said that these gowns of soft muslin will not follow the chemise robe idea, but will be made with the barrel skirt and a draped blouse with a sash, or there will be a satin or chiffon colored blouse dropping in straight lines to the hips and embroidered at its edges. Those who are expert in prophecy say that the striped and checked muslins will be more desirable this summer than the CHE. AS ARE REALLY PLAIDS Fashion This Year Has Decreed That to Be Smart They Must Not Be Less Than Two Inches Square. We have progressed very much in our definition of the word "checkered" since last year, says a fashion authority. Then a check was understood ordinarily to mean a combination of white and black, or of colors, of small dimensions, so that at a short distance a monotone effect was given. Now, however, fashion has decreed that to be absolutely smart the checks of the fabrics of the present season must not be less than two inches square. This means that what we term checks are really plaids, excepting that fewer colors enter into the design. Fortunately, most of these enormous checks are taken for sports skirts, and the latter are plaited from waist to ankle and the aera of black and white blocks is happily broken. Along with the popular black and white there are such combinations as gold and purple, red and gray, green and tan and yellow and blue. They are to be worn with the lingerie shirtwaist, usually topped by a sweater whose color matches the most vivid or striking one introduced in the skirt design. NEW EFFECTS IN POCKETS Copyright Goodman & Co. Industrial Pockets have been playing an allimportant part in the vagaries of fashion. Many new styles have been woven around them. Pockets have been seen in every shape and form. Those shown in the photo are the very latest turn. They are gathered up in a tunic effect on the sides and extend pretty near half-way around the frock. They are wide, but not deep, unusual for pockets. The collar, cuffs and edge of the skirt are paneled in a bright-striped border. The frock is made of rose-colored Yosan silk. A. Knitted Sports Costume. Among the costumes lately arrived from Paris is a knitted sports costume consisting of a narrow skirt and sweater blouse, the model made of white yarn showing a border effect of large red roses placed at intervals around lower part of skirt. The mannequin wore with this costume a knitted tunic to match. Another idea was a knitted yarn blouse worn with a skirt of "Kasha" and still another unique sports suit was developed of white Kasha showing narrow skirt slit up to the knees; a band of woolen embroidery in a Paisley pattern defined the slit on either side. The jacket was adorned with embroidery to correspond. Perla Is for Green. Green figures largely in the Paris color card, but mostly in the bright and light shades and the soft, cool, medium tones.
