New York City.—Thirty-one American lives are believed to have been lost when the armed American oil-carrying steamship Vacuum was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off the north coast of Ireland, while en route from a British to an American port. Newspaper dispatches from London and cable advices to the ship's owners, the Vacuum Oil Co. of New York, were somewhat conflicting, but it seemed established beyond doubt that the toll of life included: The Vacuum's skipper, Capt. S. S. Harris, of New York; Twenty members of his crew; The commander of the United States naval guard aboard the Vacuum, Lieut. Clarence Crase-Thomas, a Californian; Eleven members of his crew. The Vacuum had two lifeboats, to which those aboard took while the vessel was sinking. Boat No. 1 contained those believed drowned. Boat No. 2 has been landed. It contained: The Vacuum's chief officer, 13 members of the ship's crew, and four naval gunners. Altogether, eight American lives are known to have been saved. The loss of the American bluejackets marks the first American "casualty list" in the war with Germany. PLANS SENDING U.S. TROOPS TO FRANCE General Army-Staff Receives Orders Following Appeal of French Mission. Washington, D. C.—The appeal of military members of the French mission in the United States has resulted in the army general staff receiving orders to work out plans for the immediate sending of an American army to the west front. The plans, which are only tentative, must be passed upon by President Wilson before they are put into operation. This was learned from high officials of the war department. That an American force whose size is as yet undetermined, will be on the fighting line within 30 days, seems probable. In all probability the men sent first will be part of the national guard of the state whose organizations have had the most actual field experience. Train Bumps Auto. Three Dlc. THE GAZETTE BILLUP TO PRESIDENT Volunteer Military System in Vogue for Many Years in United States Is Put in the Discard. Washington, D. C. — The conscription bill probably will formally become a law by the latter part of the week, when it is expected President Wilson's signature will be affixed to the bill. The measure has been sent to a joint conference of house and senate members for a compromise agreement on the differences now existing between the bills as passed in the two branches of congress. The action of congress means that the United States as speedily as possible will enter the bloody European arena with an army. The decision modernizes the military methods of the United States and puts in the discard a volunteer military system that has been followed since the foundation of the republic. In tabloid the bill, with the section authorizing volunteers eliminated, is as follows: Authorizes the president to raise, organize, equip and officer the regular army to a maximum strength of 287,000 men, and the national guard to approximately 625,000 men. Provides, under selective conscription, that the president, in addition, shall raise a force of 600,000 men. The president shall raise and train an the president shall raise and train a second army of 500,000 men. Armed forces contemplated total Armed forces contemplated total 1,900,000 men. Makes liable to military service all male citizens between 21 and 40, inclusive. Exempts from military service the vice president, the legislative, executive and judicial officials of the United States and of the several states, persons belemnized or recognized religion, citizenship or white crime against war and ministers of any religious denomination. President given discretion to exempt or draft for partial services. Custom house clerks, persons handling mails, workmen employed in arsenals, navy yards and armories; persons engaged in industries necessary to maintenance of the military establishment, pilots and naval officers; persons having dependent families, all persons morally and physically denilent. PUT WREATHS ON AMERICAN'S TOMB French and British War Missions Unite With U. S. in Pilgrimage of Love. Washington, D. C. — Franch and British hands reached across the sea and locked with those of America over the grave of George Washington at Mount Vernon. The three great democracies of the world united in a pilgrimage of love and respect to the shrine of the man who made democracy possible. Attended by ceremonies that were magnificent in their simplicity, the French and British war missions on behalf of their governments placed memorial wreaths on the tomb of the great American, which forever will serve as a reminder, to the American people of the deep respect and admiration which they hold for the father of America. STRIGKEN BELGIUM TO GET PART OF WAR LOAN Washington, D. C.-Baron E. De Cartier, Belgian minister at Washington, held a conference with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo at which it was determined that the stricken Belgian people shall participate in the big loans being given by the United States to her European allies, despite the fact that Belgium can give practically no security for the money. Arrangements for the advance of the money will be made so as to strengthen the arms of the Belgian forces, whether or not the American treasury has to wait for generations for repayment of the loan. Found Gulity of Murder. Wooster, O. — Glenn Landis was found guilty of murder in the first degree, the jury returning a verdict in a little more than one hour. Mercy was recommended, and because of this phrase in the verdict, the sentence of the convicted man will be life in the Ohio penitentiary instead of electrocution. Landis was tried for the murder of Charles Eshelman, near Rittman.

I. NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK Destruction of Shipping by Submarines Now Threatens England With Food Shortage — Great Britain Gets Money From Uncle Sam. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. America's first shot in the war with Germany was fired on April 10. It scored a direct hit and destroyed a German submarine. The shot was fired by the gun crew on the American liner Mongolia when a U-boat attempted to attack that vessel in the Irish sea. The first shell smashed the periscope and after other shells were sent thence was an explosion and the submarine did not rise again. Capt. Emery Rice of the Mongolia told of the incident on arrival in an English port. It is interesting to note that the gun that got the U-boat had been named Theodore Roosevelt by the gunners. The destructive work of the submarines is causing increasing anxiety in Great Britain. The latest weekly report of the admiralty shows a much larger number of ships sukuk than did any previous report, and on Wednesday day Lord Davenport, the British food controller, solemnly warned the British public that severe privations menaced the nation before the next harvest was reached. This aroused the London press to gloomy comment, the burden of which was that the submarine blockade was the most serious feature of the war now and that if Great Britain was to be saved from starvation and possible defeat something must be done might soon to counteract it. This something, obviously, is the turning out from the shipyards of a vast and continuous stream of tonnage, but though many ships are being built, the shortage of skilled labor readers it impossible to construct; anywhere near the number required. The great British navy is powerless to relieve the situation. No one over there seems able to suggest any solution of the problem except to be careful of the food supply and prepare for the worst. The food question is serious elsewhere. It was responsible in large part for the strikes in Germany and is the chief cause of demonstrations that are alarming the Swedish government. In France meatless dinners—except Sundays and holidays—began Wednesday, and already in the United States the hotels and clubs are cutting down their menus. Plans for larger crops and more farm labor in America were carried nearer to completion during the past week. One notable incident, was the departure of 600 students of the agricultural college of the University of Illinois to help raise Canada's wheat crop. They are to be well paid and the Dominion government will give to each of them a homestead of 100 acres. On a moment's thought such a movement as this must win approval, for a bumper crop in Canada will do the civilized world as much good as one in the United States, and the Dominion has been depleted of labor. Great Britain Gets First Loan. Speedy work is being done in the way of supplying the immediate needs of the allies of the United States. In the first conferences with the commissioners from England and France the government was told that the most urgent of these needs were money, ships and food. It was agreed that the first allotment of the $3,000,000,000 loan would go to Great Britain, and on Wednesday Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo handed to the British ambassador a treasury warrant for $200,000,000. Arrangements for disposing of the immense bond issue are practical- ly completed and France and Italy and Russia will get their share soon. Most of the money, it is understood, will be expended in the United States. The commissioners agreed that next to supply money, America could give the best help by continuing to furnish food and by finding the vessels for its transport to Europe, and they were pleased with the plans for building a great fleet of wooden ships, General Joffre, however, expressed the hope that in the near future a large contingent of American troops would be on the fighting line under the Stars and Stripes, holding that the moral effect of that would be reimbundous. All of the commissioners concurred in the statement that they were here not to attempt to dictate to our government, but to advise and assist it to the best of their ability and with their wealth of experience. President Wilson, in a conference with Mr. Balfour, voluntarily gave assurances that the United States will fight until it achieves victory, and thereupon the head of the British mission declared that the entente allies would seek no treaty of alliance, no signature of the entente pledge not to make a separate peace with Germany. Germans Resist Desperately, "This is the last and deciding push for we soon shall be able to hold our no longer" reads the diary of a German officer who was captured last Monday, and that seems to be the opinion of the German commander in chief, judging by the desperate opposition he is putting up against the drive of the allies in northern France. Resuming their part of the offensive at the beginning of the week, the British have made considerable progress, especially along the roads from Arras and Bapaneu to Cambal. In the semi-open fighting their heavy howitzers were of little use, but their field guns and machine guns were handled with wonderful skill and rapidity and the Germans suffered enormously. Von Hindenburg threw his reserves into the battle with an哲理ity that astonished his adversaries, and the Teutons gave ground slowly and made repeated and fierce counter-attacks, which, however, were of little avail and left the ground covered with their slain. The German line, thanks to the astounding numbers of men Von Hindenburg has been able to Bring up, is still unbroken, but it is badly battered and is being pushed back further and further toward the frontier. The superiority of the British lit the air was demonstrated on Monday in the most spectacular manner. The men of the Royal Flying corps met the air squadrons of the Germans at an altitude of 15,000 feet and put them to rout, destroying 40 of their airplanes, with the loss of 60 but two of their own machines. The young British pilots then carried out a series of during bombing raids. The French devoted much of the week to destructive artillery fire in preparation for their next part in the "see-saw" that is being carried on with such skillful co-operation by Haig and Nivelle, and by Thursday their infantry was again in action. On the Italian, Macedonian and Roumanian fronts little of moment has taken place. In Mesopotamia the British are still advancing, but the expedition from Egypt that is moving up through Palestine has found the re-enforced Turkish forces holding a strongly entrenched position extending from Gaza toward Beersheba. Portugal, having decided to take a more active part in the conflict in Europe, has sent a large contingent of troops to northern France: There has been some stirring activity recently. in the neighborhood of the Stratts of Dover. Two British destroyers encountered a flotilla of six German destroyers and after a furious combat put the foe to rout. The German boats were rammed and torpedoed and raked by gunfire and at least two of them were sunk. The British vessels suffered severely but were able to return to port. Wednesday morning a German destroyer flotilla bombarded Dunkirk but was driven off by the constat batteries and the allied patrol boats. One French torpedo boat was sunk. Russian Situation Dangerous. The course of events in Russia is being watched with renewed anxiety. The German and Austrian Socialist peace propagandists have taken from one of President Wilson's addresses the phrase of "a peace without victory" and are using it with some effect. The duma and the delegates represent the various classes. In the councils are as firm as ever against concluding a separate peace, but they do not find the masses of uniformed people easy to control. Germany is reported to have started the expected movement to cut off Petrograd from the army, a large naval and military expedition having left Libau, presumably for Pernau or Reval, and at such an inopportune time a great many Russian soldiers are deserting. These deserters are peasant soldiers who are hastening to their homes in fear that there will be a distribution of lands of which, in their absence, they will not get their share. The old agrarian trouble is coming to a head and despite the assurances of the authorities that it cannot be settled until the constituent assembly acts, the peasants are in many localities taking the matter into their own hands. As for the threatened German of offensive, the leaders of the new Russian government assert that it will be a good thing for Russia even if the enemy should occupy Petrograd, for it will unify the nation in determination to fight; the war to the finish and nullify the efforts of the Teuton Socialists. The Russian Baltic fleet and army send a wireless message to the allied fleets saying they were in complete readiness to defend free Russia. President Wilson has selected the members of a commission that will visit Russia to pay this nation's respects to the new government, and Eilhui Root has consented to be its chairman. The other members will be Edward T. Hurley, Daniel Willard and Oscar S. Straus. Spain Warns the Kalser. On Tuesday Spain sent to Germany a note concerning submarine warfare, with the warning that Spanish patience was nearly exhausted. The imperial government consented to a parley for the "mitigation of the difficulties which have arisen in Spain." King Alfonso has tried diligently to preserve neutrality, but it seems as if his efforts were doomed to failure. Turkey having severed diplomatic relations with the United States, the representatives of the two nations started for home. Reports that came from Europe during the week told of a revival of the attempts to oust Bethmann-Hollweg from power because of his support of the plans of the Specialist Scheidemann for a peace without annexation and indemnities. The pan-Germanus, conservatives and liberals all are opposing the chancellor in this. But Germany's toes should not count too much out such demonstrations, any more than on the strikes there, for there is no reason to believe any of them portend the overthrow of Prussian autocracy—the one thing, probably, that can bring the war to an early conclusion. Mayor Thompson of Chicago succeeded on Thursday in attracting some attention to himself. He issued a printed statement on the food shortage in which he attacked conscription, argued for a ban on food export and asshilled the war policies of the administration. The same day he evinced a disinclination to extend to Marshal Joffre and the French mission an invitation to visit Chicago, saying he thought some of the people "might not be wildly enthusiastic about it." Mayor Thompson is overly careful about the stability of his Teutonic political fences, for Chicago is decidedly enthusiastic over the proposed visit by the French commissioners and will give them a splendid welcome. Plans for the event are being made, the mayor being ignored. The Wisconsin senate gave a lesson to disloyal citizens by expelling from membership Senator Frank Raguse of Milwaukee, a Socialist, for refusal to retract alleged disloyal statements made by him on the floor of the senate. At the hour of, writing it appears certain that the government selective, conscription bill will be passed by both houses of congress. Agreements were secured in both senate and house that assured a vote not later than midnight Saturday.

Viviani, dean of the French commissioners in the United States, stood among cheering, applauding senators in the United States senate chamber and pledged France's assistance to America in fighting unceasingly to establish a democratic "society of nations." "Together we will carry on that struggle," he said. M. Viviani Marshal Joffre, Ambassador Jusserand of France and several additional members of the French mission, turned their eyes upward as the French leader pronounced the pledge. It was made in the closing part of an address to the senate by M. Viviani, the first foreigner ever to address that body in the senate chamber. "As M. Viviani concluded his speech and began leaving, Vice President Marshal said: "As we have said hail, we now say farewell, and please God may it be so. Again, hail." Cries of "Joffre! Joffre! Joffre!" came from the floor of the senate. Marshal Joffre smiled. He hesitated for a moment. Then several senators grasped him warmly by the hand in turn and urged him toward the vice president's chair. "I do not speak English," Marshal Joffre said in English. Then in his native language he shouted: "Vive les Etats Unis!"

Davis still refuses to appoint an Afro-American a mem- ber of his Cleveland War Commission. Why? U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding has overlooked Ohio's 60,000 Afro- American voters in selecting his ad- visory (Republican) committee. This must be an oversight because the Sen- ator would not do sueh a thing pur- posely, we feel sure. As our readers knaw.well the hous- ing of the large number of our people ‘who have come to Cleveland from the South in recent months and weeks, is a serious problem with which The Ga- zette and others have been greatly concerned. It is distressing to meet daily numbers of these people almost begging places to stop and house their Kaiatilnn. even tetepererity. ‘Dr. J. E. Spingarn should abandon his effort to segregate Afro-Americans in a “{im-crow” military training camp. It is a rank insult to the race which it will not soon forget regard- Jess 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 employes Dr. Spin- garn, 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. REPUBLICANS FURNISHED THE VOTES. Confronted by the slackers in his own party in Congress, the President ‘was compelled to call upon the patriot- ism of the Republicans to give him the strength to get his selective conscrip- tion bill out of committee. It was the first time that he has deigned to con- sider the better half of the member- ship of the House. It will not be the last time, however: for the Demo eratic leopard cannot change his spots, and there will be many an occasion when .prompt and necessary legisla- tion can be secured only by Repub- ican votes. We hope that the Presi- dent will not continue to insist that the co-operation shall be altogether one-sided. The Republican votes which he will frequently need will be pro- duced without reluctance. He should reciprocate by taking Republicans into his confidence, by giving them a ehance to know his plans, by asking their advice as well as their votes, by giving them a share in the direction of the work of the war as well as a share in its labors. THE JACKSON BILL VETOED. ‘The unwelcome news was flashed over the country last week that Gov. Frank Lowden had vetoed the bill, recently passed by both houses of the Illinois legislature, which was design- ed to prohibit in-that state the exhibi- tion of “The Birth of a Nation” or of any other moving picture or ltho- graph tending to incite race hatred or depicting the hanging or lynching of a human being, The bill was in- troduced by Representative Robert R. Jackson of Chicago and received sub- stantial majorities in both branches of the Assembly. The governor's veto was based on an opinion, furnished by the attorney general of that state, holding that the term “tends to in- cite" was too broad and PROBABLY would be held unconstitutional. At this distance it looks very much as if the governor, like the mayor of Cleve- Jand, failed our people at a time when his support was most sorely needed. When this bill was up for discussion, there were men in the Illinois legis- Inture who were, probably, as compe- tent to judge of the constitutionality of the law they were debating as the attorney general upon whose opinion the governor based his veto. They voted for the Jackson Dill after a thorough exchange of opinion and no doubt many of them looked over legal authorities befére recording them- selves in its favor. —_——— WHAT ABOUT THE N. A. A. C. P.?' Much a8 we dislike to entertain such ‘an idea it certainly does begin to look to us es if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple'was promoted and has been main- tained by New York City white men of wealth and prominence for the ex- press purpose of controlling in as large a measure as possible our people of this country. When Oswald Garri- son Villard, president of the N. Y. Evening Post Publishing Co. and ong of the editors of that paper, resigned recently from the board of the Crisis, the organ of the N. A. A. @. P., be- cause he differed from the manly stand of the editor of that publication on @ question of citizen-rights or those of the race in the South, partic- ularly; and for the second or: thira time, so he (Villard) said, endeavored to resign as treasurer of the organ- ization, 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. ©. B. Du Bois, evidently under pressure from leading white officers of the N. A. A. C. P., ABOUT-FACED and endorsed Dr. J. 1B. Spingarn’s “bad break"—advocating a “jim crow" military training camp {01 Afro-Ameriean volunteer ‘officers, in the face of his former aggressive stand against all forms of segregation. Vik lard and Spingarn are two of the three most active white officers of the or ganization and the latter was decidedly the most popular up to the time of his “bad break", a few weeks ago. Nov comes the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Roy Nash, the third most ac tive white officer, with a long “scare” letter to our newspapers and others which is intended to make them pro mote a greater desire upon the part 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 griev: ances” against national, state and mu nicipal governments us well as many prominent individuals. ‘There, is so much similarity of expression in the statements issued by all three gentle men, Villard, Spingarn and Nash, all asking in effect that our people make additional sacrifice of rights and priv. fleges; at least temporarily, “for the g00d of the country.” ete., that one can hardly help thinking that the N. A. A ©. P. was promoted and has been maintained for a purpose other than for “the advancement of colored peo ple" only. ‘Then when one remembers that never during all the years of its organization has it gone into the U. 8. ‘Supreme court with a case of its own ‘against distranchisement or “jim crow” railroad cars at the South, two ‘of the three great issues of most con: ce to the masses of our people fo many years, segregation being a less er issue of recent years and mob vio ence being one that the U. S. su ‘preme court has relegated to the ‘states, we cannot be blamed for ques ‘tioning the sincerity of the controll ing element of the National Associa ‘tion for the Advancement of Colored People. In his recent letter, Secre tary Nash says: “We urge the importance, just now. ‘of making a declaration of the Negro’ loyalty to the flag, regardtess of ‘his just grievances against the Adminis tration or the country”, ete. Dr, Spingarn’s excuse for his “bad break” was in part that it was neces sary: “To show a loyalty (upon the par of our people) which in the whole his tory of the nation has never faltered.’ Nor is seriously or successfully from any angle, this wholesale asking of our people just at this time to con. tinue 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 lead: ing race papers think about it? ae CONSCRIPTION AND THE “NEGRO.” When the Army Reorganization bill was pending in Congress, more than a year ago, prominent and patriotic Afro-Americans, at Washington, D. C., appeared before the military commit: tee of each branch of our natfonal leg- islature and persistently sought pro- vision In the Dill for at least four more Afro-American regiments (two infantry, one cavalry and one coast artillery) for the regular army. They were not only refused what they asked but certain members of the Congress from the’ South took eare to say in open session of that august body that if they had their way_ there would be no Afro-American regiments in the army; they would get rid of those now in the army (four regi- ments, among the very best.) ‘These now have their full complement of men, ‘Therefore, there can be no more enlistment of Afro-Americans (except former soldiers) for the reg- ular army until there is the legisla- tion by the Congress it-refused when the Army Reorganization bill was pending, When the “white” regiments are all full—have their complement of men—other “white” regiments will be organized until the 500,000 men, the President desires, are in the regular army. Our southern democratic con- trolled government (and Congress) simply had to refuse to provide for additional Afro-American regiments for the regular army in order to make it impossible for an Afro-American to enlist in the regular army, as is true today throughout the country, and also to make it impossible for the gov- ernment to conscript him for the reg- ular army service until there is such Seki TO EQUALIZE RACE SENTIMENT. ‘The present migration of Colored people from the South to other sec tions of the country, whatever the cause, will have much to do with an early settlement of problems confront ing the race, because where there have been diverse opinions of us and va- rious understandings of possibilities for our development along many lines, with a more equitable distribution of our population we will be seen and understood for exactly what we are.

Mr. Taft, when President, voiced the sen- timent that the time had come when the North should join with the South in dedicating the graves of the con- federate dead; Mr, Roosevelt, with his Progressive party went into the South for a following and made strong overtures for the elimination of sec- tionalism, and all along the line this tendency toward a new nationalism has been evident. In the treatment accorded to Ne- groes, the trend has been in the same direction. In those cities and states where a few years ago there were small Negro populations and little race prejudice, there has been an in- crease of restriction and a desire to draw the color line with an in- ‘erease of the Negro population. Res- faurants have refused their service, theaters have sought to limit colored patrons to certain sections of the house, agitation has been started for separate schools, etc., solely because white sentiment in those commnni- ties, in the face of an influx of Ne- groes, took the same position that ob- tains where the Negro has long been a resident. There are few placts where larger Negro populations have not had the same effect on white sen- timent. It would do the present generation of colored people no harm to know ex. actly where they stand in the opinion of all the people. The Negro needs, above all else, to know the heart of his neighbor and this cannot be learned if he is to be viewed at a dis- tance. If the colored people continue to migrate to sections in the North for any of several reasons, those of us ‘in this section, whether we desire it [or not, must prepare to meet racial is- |sues which we have not been forced to ‘encounter in the past, and we should welcome the test if it comes to that [Decause we know how to make the fight and are able to do it without fear.

Howard University students in their fervor of loyalty and patriotism had rallied to the idea of a separate training camp, brought to them some weeks ago by Prof. J. E. Spingarn of New York.

In. 1870 it suffered from fire, and on July 9, 1876, it was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt at once, In 1892 the depot was moved to Ellis island and Castle Garden re- verted to the city, which in 1896 opened an aquarium there.

The Cleveland Realty, Housing & Investment Co. meeting in the basement of St. John's church, last week Wednesday evening, was attended by about 50 persons, and $50 was subscribed to the capital stock of the company it is managing. Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Johnson of Carnegie Ave. notified the Gazette that there is a restaurant in Cedar Ave., just east of E. 55th St., which has a sign "FOR WHITE PEOPLE ONLY" conspicuously displayed in one of its front windows. Here is some more work for our local civic organizations. A shooting affray in Robinson's pool led Woods night in which Sam Woods tried to act as peace-maker resulted, as usual, in the poor peacemaker getting the worst of it.

They are accused of beating Frank Jones, prisoner, Thursday, in a jail cell. Both detectives deny the accusation, which is being investigated by Chief Rowe. Jones makes affidavit he was hit with a fist when he refused to confess a robbery and name a confederate. Four other prisoners are said to corroborate the statements of Jones, who lives at 29th St. and Scroovill Ave. She Sheriff Hanratty unified Chief Rowe who has given orders duepence hereafter to refuse admission. Detectives Morwick and Smetana. Here is a case that demands the attention of our civic organizations. They should rally to the support of Sheriff Hanratty and not be a month doing so, either. There has been too much beating of Afro-Americans in recent months and unless something is done to stop it Cleveland will soon be on a par in this respect, at least, with Macon, Ga., and other cities in the far South. Sheriff Hanratty is a life-long friend of the race. Geo. A. Myers writes The Gazette, under date May 2, 17, "that we have the personal assurance of our mutual good friend, Supt. Frederick, that the segregated classes in our public schools will be abolished just as soon as prudent action is taken to the unclassified school. Mr. Frederick begs further to assure us that there was no intention upon the part of the school authorities to discriminate and he readily saw the danger of establishing a precedent, that the new superintendent could take advantage of. All's well that ends well." Miss Flossie Bolden arrived in the city Monday evening and in an endeavor to locate her sister, who was missing. She chased a balcony seat after having been refused a ticket to the main floor. The first intimation that the other ushers had of the refusal was brought to Mrs. J. W. Hunter and Mrs. Kate Lowe, who stood near the entrance to the main floor, by the ticket-taker (Mr. Overs) who said: "Look here, you girls should not ask colored people to come on the main floor because we do not sell them tickets for Mrs. J. W. Hunter, who upon reported to Mrs. John Tuck, chief usher, who sent Miss Flossie and her sister, Josephine to the manager, (Mr. Gallagher). Miss Flossie told him of her refusal of a seat on the main floor of the theater to which he replied: "You can have your money back." She replied that she did not want her money back but wanted a seat on the main floor. Mr. Gallagher asked Miss Josephine if she was an usher to which he replied: "You said to Miss Flossie: "You can get your money back" and to Miss Josephine: "Go to Mrs. Tuck, get your time (pay), get your money and go with her," to which she replied: "I can do that, too." Miss Josephine (crying) thereupon notified Mrs. Tuck who, after vainly trying to take up the matter with Manager Gallagher, placed the matter before the rest of the ushers, eleven in all, who decided, in view of attentive visit upon the Miss Bolden by the manager and the rebuff given the chief usher, to walk out of the theater in a body, be it said to their everlasting credit and praise. After a careful investigation the editor of The Gazette is convinced that a mean advantage, whether intentional or otherwise we are unable to say, has been taken of this paper and The Cleveland Realty, Housing and Investment Co. in the publication of the local item in our last issue relative to the company's having received $3,000 from the business men of the city through Mr. Paul Feiss, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee on Housing and Sanitation. Our informant, as stated, was Mr. Purza za, the owner of our office directly from a conference with Mr. Feiss at his business place in St. Clair Ave, this city. Mr. Feiss assures The Gazette that neither he nor the Chamber of Commerce have paid any money to the Cleveland Realty Housing & Investment Co. We greatly regret the failure of the organization as a matter of fairness and justice. The Gazette desires to say anent the local item in question published in our issue of April 28, 1917, and to say it in the most emphatic terms, that no reflection upon the honesty or character of the individuals therein mentioned was intended, upon our request, to persons who composed the organization, or others—the statement of any other person to the contrary notwithstanding. Our only concern in this matter has been the welfare of our people, especially those who have come to the city in recent months and weeks and are without proper places in which to live. The Cleveland District, North Ohio Conference, of the great A. M. E. Church held its three day session in St. James church, East End, Rev. C. H. Young, pastor, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, this week, Dr. Charles Bundy, P. E., presiding. The three sessions daily were well attended, especially those held in the evening. About forty members (ministers) of the conference were in attendance and many very interesting papers and reports were read and discussed by them. Former pastors of local A. M. E. churches were present in the persons of Revs. W. T. Anderson, J. M. Gilmere, J. C. Turner, and of course Dr. Bundy, Bishop C. T. Shaffer attended, Tuesday, and in the evening, Revs. W. T. Anderson also addressed the conference. Wednesday morning, the editor of The Gazette and Rev. P. O'Connell did likewise on invitation of its asiate presiding officer. All of the clergymen and laymen, members of the conference, were active in its work and it would not be right to make reference of a personal nature without naming all of them. Going to press, Thursday morning, makes it impossible to have a more extensive notice of the conference meet, this week. The Gazette welcomes its members to the city and knows that their presence here will prove helpful to our people of Cleveland. Come again, gentlemen! 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.

State Executives Are Informed of What Is Ahead of Them During War by Federal Officials. Washington, D. C. — For the first time since the United States went to war with the imperial German government, the governors and accredited representatives of the 48 states of the Union learned just what they are up against. They were informed of what is ahead of them by President Wilson, by four members of the council of national defense, at whose invitation they came to Washington. Out of a strenuous day of speech-making, conferences and attendance at "war school," they were advised: To eliminate lost motion and get squarely behind the federal government and work in co-operation—by President Wilson. That the war is not a question of days or weeks but of years and that all their energies should be based upon that assumption—by Secretary of the Interior Lone- by Secretary of the Interior Land. To facilitate the operation of the draft bill and to make registration day a festival occasion—by Secretary of war Baker. To keep boys under military age from rushing into the navy by impressing on them the fact that they can best serve their country by remaining on the farm, and to encourage shipbuilding to the fullest extent—by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. To try to not lower the standards of workers' living and to refrain from attempting to "conscript an industrial army"—by Secretary of Labor Wilson. To plant, plant and reap, reap, reap—by President Pierson of the Iowa State College of Agriculture, speaking for Secretary of Agriculture Houston. ANOTHER U. S.

C. — Rising sentiment in congress for legislation to meet the nation's food problems broke out in the senate in a debate that developed in denunciations of food speculators, with predictions that the best way to deal with them was to string them to lamp posts or put them behind prison bars. Senators from farming states denied that there is any real shortage of staple foods in the United States. Use of the lamp post to hang food sharks was recommended by Senator Thomas. Marriage Ceremony Changed Cincinnati, Ohio — "She wants the word 'trust' instead of 'obey', and I don't blame her," Earl P. Willison, 28, told the minister in a ceremony here by which he wedded Miss Frances Eople, 24. Willison, a rancher of Pocatello, Ida, obtained the license, changed the marriage ceremony and was married in the probate court room here by Rev. William F. Kohler of the Columbia First Evangelical church. The bride is a school teacher at Clough, O. Both formerly lived in Newton. COAT DRESS USEFUL Promises to Be One of the Most Popular Items of Wardrobe. Serge, Gaberdine, Tricotine and Twilla Among Fabrics Utilized in These Frocks. The coat dress, or robe manteau, still promises to be one the most popular items of the wardrobe. Garment manufacturers and fashion designers say that never has so useful a garment been devised. It is both a coat and a dress and many also take the place of a suit. The various popular wool fabrics, such as serge, gaberdine, tricotine, twills, etc., are employed in the development, of coat dresses, and light shades are popular as well as the staple and dependable navy. Beige, small 1 Gaberdine Coat Dress. and lead gray and several shades of tan have been noted in the development of these coat frocks. The garment shown in the sketch is made of navy gaberdine, trimmed in satin in a contrasting shade. Gold-colored satin might be used; red or a lighter shade of blue would also be effective. The double row of nuttons down the front may match either the navy of the frock proper or the trimming. The double-strap belt extends straight around the back, and the wide tabs on either side of the waist in front conceal pockets. Pockets are featured on nearly all tailored spring and summer dresses, suits and coats. As will be noted, this garment shows a rather straight silhouette—that is, while a waistline is indicated, the skirt follows the natural lines of the figure, and no exaggerated barrel flare is evident. The barrel skirt was largely a scarehead style feature devised early to stimulate a somewhat lagging demand for ready-to-wear garments. Few who thought seriously of style development paid much attention to it. Women still cling to the straight-line garments, and something very much more attractive than the barrel skirt must make its appearance before their popularity wanes. To make the coat frock sketched five and a half yards of material 36 inches wide will be required, with one yard of contrasting color for collar, cuffs, belt, etc. BERIBBONED SHOES WORN Fashion Introduced Several Years Ago, But Not Generally Adopted, Has Been Revived. We used to hold our bathing sandals on with cotton tapes or ribbons laced over the instep and about the ankle. A few years ago, when dancing became such a craze and empire dresses were an obvious inspiration for Paris, we again adopted the ribbon-lace satin shoe for dancing. It never was very much worn and we have not seen much of it for several seasons. This year it has returned to fashion and quite probably will be worn at the seaside resorts and in the mountains for afternoon as well as evening, writes a fashion authority. The ribbons match the shoe when it is colored, but very often black ribbons are used with white shoes over white stockings. The ends of the ribbons are tied with a bow. Sometimes a slipper with only one eyelet on each side is laced in this new fashion, and sometimes the slipper extends high enough so that three or four eyellets GREEN AND GOLD FAVORITES Most Popular Colors of the Season for the Various Accessories to Milady's Costume. Ask any woman what color she wants for the new accessories—whether those accessories be the four-in-hand tie to wear with her sport shirt or her next hat, and if she has not already invested in enough accessories of that color she will answer either emerald green or gold. Gold especially is the color of the season. It has actually been beautified in fashion's favor. In elaborate hats or sport hats it is the color most in vogue. Sweaters of some shade of gold are more highly prized than those of any other. Suit linings and trimmings in this shade are appropriate, especially when the suit is navy blue. The smartest of the new bags are lined with the color. And until we are sated with this hue of the sunbeam we shall continue to give it first place in fashion's rainbow. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1917 on each side can be introduced. The ribbons are often crossed and recrossed about the ankle so that their ends tie fully half way up to the knee. To be sure, we are to wear longer skirts this summer, but the ribbon-bound ankle is decidedly pretty when skirts are short, for the ribbon breaks the length of the stocking. SILKS DEMANDED BY WOMEN Are Widely Worn This Season in Spite of High Prices Due to a Variety of Causes. There are many reasons why silks are high priced this year, but there is just one reason why silks are in demand this year more than ever before—simply because women want to wear silks. The war has had something to do with the shortage of silk, as it has had with most everything else of late. In the first place, expert labor is short. Then, something happened to the cocoons in Turkey, and for some reason there was a shortage of raw silk in Italy, which, coupled with the increased demand, made things rather difficult and, of course, sent prices up. Our little brown-skinned neighbors of the Pacific came to our rescue by seeing in this situation a chance for their own profit, and now we are getting more silk from Japan than anywhere else. Obviously, nothing happened to the cocoons in the land of chrysanthe-mums. And since Japanese silk possesses very great artistic merits, even in the cheaper grades, women have something to be thankful for. Japanese silks especially commend themselves to this season's fashions. They are soft and supple without being slinky, a characteristic which makes them especially suitable to a season when skirts are neither extremely full nor extremely narrow. No Barrels for Cotton Frocks. For cotton frocks it is noticeable that the majority follow the straight line instead of attempting the tonneau iden. The best models all have the narrow skirts; in one instance the tunic effect is seen in a model of silver embroidered crepe posed over a narrow satin foundation skirt. Many models have the waist defined by narrow ribbon belts with long sash ends hanging in back. Wool Jersey Blouses for Sport. For immediate wear nothing is quite so popular as blouses of wool jersey. They are eminently practicable and satisfactory for wear during spring days, when one is always liable to run into brisk winds, and when an extra cost is cumbersome. FOR COOL SUMMER DAYS. Dresswear Batteries Fetuses An apple-green Worumbo velour cloth coat, the kind that is to be worn this summer. If the summer sun's days are not warm enough for you, this coat is being made for your relief. Such coats as this will be worn by all fashionable folks on the cooler days of the summer months. The coat is not heavy and is not lined. The mammoth pockets with the tucked-up effect, which is duplicated in the collar, give added distinction to this charming coat. Suffrage for 18,000 educated Indians in the province of Ontario is urged on the Dominion government by Scobie Logan, chief of the Muncey tribe. Watch Ribbons Never was there a more convenient fashion for women than that of wearing the watch suspended about the neck by a narrow ribbon. These watch ribbons will therefore be gladly welcomed this spring and summer. They now come in various widths, from a quarter to three-quarter inches wide. Moreover, they are no longer conservative black or plain white as formerly, but are patterned very gayly, some appearing in Roman stripes, some being bi-colored, and the narrowest and "cutest" being little satin ribbons in color, having embroidered upon them gold-colored hearts pierced by arrows. Treatment for Bony Neck Massage every night with a cream made of two ounces of lanolin and one half ounce of cocoa butter. Every morning dash on cold water, using a big splonge for the purpose.

BLOUSEFORSPORTS Russian Type Is Still Favorite With Younger Generation. Hand Embroidery Is Without Question the Most Popular Trimming for Waists This Season. The Russian blouse continues to be a favorite with the younger generation, and it is made of materials including satin, taffeta, crepe de chine, faille silk, georgette crepe and velvet or velveten. The little blouse shown in the sketch, suitable for school or sports wear, is equipped with a sailor Sports Blouse of Velvet collar of the convertible type, and the fabric selected for this blouse was rose-colored velvet, with a Roman design trimming done in black fiber silk forming a decoration. A tam to match easily be arranged. To make this blouse two and three-quarters yards of any material 30 inches wide will be required. Hand embroidery is beyond question the most popular trimming employed on waistts this season, and dressy as well as sports blouses are so decorated. Bead, silk and metal thread embroidery are all effectively used. Flannel, velvetteen and silk "shirts", with mannish high-low collars and smart little patch pockets, are among the sports blouses strongly approved. White, striped and khaki-colored fannels are all shown. Among the novelties some plain flannel blouses in white or colors equipped with angora collar and cuffs in self or contrasting color are decidedly smart. Plaid and striped silks are featured in utility or sports blouses, and suit shades in silks, georgettes, crepe de chines, nets, etc., are shown in the dresser models. Long sleeves and collars of the convertible type are features of the majority of the season's blouses. Medievalism in Gloves There is an attempt to revert to medievalism in the ornamenting of gloves. They are embroidered with tinselled threads, with the monogram in colored crystals, and they have gauntlets attached to velvet fingers, the former covered with an embroidery done in tinsel. The designs are taken from the gloves worn by men and women at the time when Elizabeth was queen of England and Catherine de Medici reigned in France. Looking at some of the heavily embroidered guaitlet gloves, one thinks of the sinister intrigues in the old world which sometimes led to sudden death through the poisoned gloves that were gorgeously embroidered and sent as gifts. "MISS COLUMBIA HANDBAG" C Any calamity, any world-wide movement and, of course, most of all, a war, has its influence on feminine fashions. Just now patriotism, as is to be expected, is reflected in milady's costume. The "Miss Columbia handbag," made of red, white and blue braid, gives just a touch of patriotism to the costume. One of the newest wrinkles is to use a narrow band of fur for the hair circlet in place of the ribbon fillet that has been in vogue for several seasons. The girl with dark hair will useermine, chinchilla or otter; while the blonde will find sealskin, kolnsky or other dark furs an excellent foil for her fair tresses and skin. Of course, if the frock is trimmed with fur, so much the better for the artistic ensemble. It is not necessary that the fur should be used in great quantities; indeed, a more pleasing effect will be gained by posing a bowknot on the girdle either at one side of the front or the back. In White and Gold. Spring has ushered in a great vogue for the wearing of white velvet in the evening. The chemise frock, cut rather low in the neck, will lend itself charmingly to the softness of velvet, and very simple embroideries of gold will be the chief adornment for them. A beautiful semienlarging garment of this sort in shinmering white chiffon velvet was seen the other day. It was REASON FOR LACE REVIVAL France Established Fashion in Order to Give Women and Children Work During the Winter. A change in fashions which is creating a stir of interest in this country is the lavish use of lace. France had much of it in reserve, but she made it fashionable in order to give the women and older children a chance to earn money through the winter. Thousands of the Belgian lacemakers are refugees in France, and to revive the fashion for lace was to make these exiles self-supporting. The American designers jump with joy over the idea of putting lace on gowns, for there must be miles of it stored away in this country waiting for a chance to see the sunlight. Now there will be a chance to use it up for frocks, wraps, blouses, peplums, hats, parasols and accessories. The designers are even putting precious lace on satin frocks for the afternoon, and afternoon gowns are made of a new kind of shadow lace in ecrum or oyster white dropped over a black satin sheath lining. The success of the plum, or outside blouse, will give an impetus to loose waists that can be girdled in with Chinese brocade or with the new, brilliant ribbons copied from antique designs. These blouses may be lined with white or colored chiffon or silk net and worn with any kind of skirt. BROOKLYN MUSEUM MUSEUM Fashion is taking wartime trend and displays a military air about styles. Simplicity, well-cut lines, and plenty of big pockets suggest the uniform of our fighting men. This theme is predominant in all circles of the fashion world. This suit is one of the smartest to appear in the limelight of fashion. It is of French blue corduroy decorated with bright yellow and red figures. Touches of color such as these will be the predominating feature, together with the military cut. The pockets, belt, cape collar, and lack of extreme ornamentation make this costume a leader among all others. HOW TO BE WELL DRESSED Making All the Necessary Accessories of Costume Harmonize With Each Other Most Important Point. To the woman who knows the full value of dress the question of whether she will wear a straight or a barrel skirt is rather secondary, after all. A woman who really has the trick of being always stylish and well groomed is much more troubled as to whether she will succeed in finding all the necessary accessories of her costume so they will harmonize with one another. Most women have been through the enlightening but discouraging experience of a selection of hats, vells, sunshades, shoes, etc., buying these according to the fancy of the moment, or because of their individual beauty. The day she assembled them with her dress or suit she found that, beautiful in themselves, they did not go well together at all, and she wore them uneasily and unhappily, feeling that perhaps she looked like a patchwork quilt! It is very difficult to go shopping and buy, coldly and with forethought—to plan a wardrobe so that everything will be in relation. Yet it must be done with as good grace as possible, for it is the only way to be really well dressed. very simply made, in one and semi-fitting, and was outlined round the decolletage with a light tracing of gold. Round the hem of the skirt was a narrow gold ribbon, from which was tung a line of tiny golden balls. Organdie Chemisette With Jersey. A blouse which is delightfully feminine is made of jersey in a lovely shade of old rose. It is cut with a wide round neck and slips on over the head. There is a little chemisette yoke of white organdie finished with a crisp frill and there are little puff sleeves to match this, which peep from below the flaring mandarin sleeves of Jersey. The neck and sleeves are bordered with a wide band of hand embroidery in several contrasting shades and there are deep pockets also embroidered at the sides. Sleeveless Jackets in Paris During the midday or early afternoon strolls in the Bois can be seen loose jackets, made hlp length and without sleeves. These are worn over one-piece dresses and trimmed with embroidery in contrasting effects. CLOTHES LACKING IN ECCENTRICITY This Feature in Styles Is Considered Suitable for Time of Stress. Straight, Knife-Plaited Design Wins Increased Favor—Paris Invented It Because It Means Saving of Material. New York—Probably the lack of eccentricity in the spring apparel is its distinguishing feature. This is an admirable trait in time of war, but France did not foresee that America would be in war when she designed the spring clothes that have been universally accepted in this country. Paris keeps its wartime clothes for its own people, and has never failed to send to the rest of the world a fresh batch of newly invented gowns bearing all the marks of frivolity and extravagance. Many reasons have been given for the lack of eccentricity noticeable in the French gowns, but whatever the cause, it is a matter of satisfaction that the condition exists. Women are compelled to buy new raiment at each change of season, but in time of a national crisis they do not think it fitting or seemly to indulge in the peculiar caprices of dress which have marked recent eras. Other Days. Other Clothes. It is a common cry to say that the existing generation is always the most provocative of criticism. We forget what has gone before in history, in humanity and in religion, as well as in dress. There are critics who cry aloud over a certain fashion, consider it monstrous, and wonder what our young women and girls are coming to that such a fashion should be unblushing accepted. They speak in excitable tones of the respected dead and refer FASHION This gown is built up of two fashionable materials and colors. The skirt is barreled by draperies of dark blue satin, the sleeves, collar and sash are of satin. The biscuit-colored jersey is embroidered in dark blue. to our grandmothers as women who insisted upon dressing in a seemly and modest manner. But, just as Agnes Repplier has forcibly and brilliantly told of the new women among the old women—the brilliant, insurgent characters that were the ploneers of our race in America—so some student could tell of the extravagances, caprices and indecencies in dress that swept over the generations to which our sainted grandmothers belonged, and which, in their time, were denounced by the pulpit and the press. This season is ushered in without the eccentricities of those generations or even the half-decade that has just slipped by. One may call the narrow skirt an eccentricity, but in its modified form it is very attractive, and it saves material, which is the reason that Paris invented it. It is rather amusing that the women who have organized for a national defense and who urge economy in buying clothes, call especial attention to the pegton or melon skirt as a garment to be frowned upon, when this very garment was invented by Paris to save material and thereby lower the price that a French woman has to pay for her skirt. Naturally, the French designers did not charge the Americans any less for a pegton skirt than a full one, nor will the American dressmakers make any difference in prices because of the scarcity of material used; but the PARASOL FAD IS GROWING Some Are Made to Match the Fabric in the Costume, Others to Go With the Hat. The fad for all sorts of parasols is assuming terrifying proportions! One can't have enough of them, it seems. Some are made to match the costume in fabric as well as in color; others for sporting events are made of the material of the skirt, which is also introduced in the hat. Still other adorable sets, says Harper's Bazar, are composed of parasol, hat and girdle or bag, while a parasol to match the hat exactly is very, very chic. Some of the best parasols have shirred chiffon linings, and as for the newest shape there is so such thing—some are flat, others concave; some large, and others exceedingly small, while the handles may be any old length. A pale pink organdie set of parasol and hat trimmed with half-inch bands of mole skin is delightfully impractical, therefore very desirable. thousands upon thousands of woned who buy material for their own gowns will see the advantage in dropping the extra-full skirt and adopting the slim line of the new silhouette. The Straight Silhouette. Already the exclusive dressmakers are insisting that the pegtop skirt, or the drapery that is pulled out at the hips, is mediocre. The first fashion, they insist, calls for a straight silhouette from shoulder to heels without the break given by the pannier effect at the end of the corset. What is known as the barrel skirt, pure and simple, has few followers, but the skirt with the kangaroo extension at each side is admittedly the popular success of the hour. Against this skirt is the one called Egyptian, which has been described by all the fashion writers until the women know most that there is to know about it. It is the straight, knife-plaited skirt dropped from the waist or from a shallow yoke, and is supposed to have been worn by the fashionable Alexandrians at the time of Thais and Aphrodite. There is so much that is Egyptian in the spring clothes that it should not surprise the onlooker to see this straight, plaited skirt win cut above all others before June arrives. Bulloz, for instance, has met with singular success in this country through a gown which he calls Aphrodite, and which was originally made for Mile. Chenal when she sang the title role in tue opera last autumn in Paris. Bulloz has changed the gown somewhat, but everyone who was in Paris last autumn remembers it. It is made of black chiffon in three long, Egyptian tunics that hang limply against the figure, each one embroidered with a wide band of silver bugles in an ancient design. The upper tunic is longer than the rest and hangs in drapery on the floor when dropped; but it is skillfully manipulated by the arm, which can pass through a long, embroidered slit and drape the length of the chiffon and silver about the body as one wishes. Chenal was given to the posture of extending her arm in dramatic gestures, bringing about somewhat the same effect which she gave to the drapery which made her famous when she sang the "Marselliaise" in Paris. With this gown goes a tall Egyptian headdress of fine silver bugles and beads set on black. Egyptian Touch in Wraps. Another Egyptian touch in costumery is shown in the evening wraps for spring, which are quite luxurious, but light in weight and texture. Taffeta is used for this garment more than for any other. The wide, draped collar which rises above the ears and folds itself down on the shoulders is the preferred one, and it is used for street wraps as well as evening ones. None of this is Egyptian, but the touch of Cairo is seen in a great square of bullion-embroidered silk which is placed flatly against the back of the wrap. On some garments it looks as though a brilliant, ornate cushion cover had been picked up and neatly tacked at each of its corners to the loose back of the taffeta wrap. The Egyptian Phoenix wing, which was decoratively used at one of the fashion exhibitions in New York, supplies color for much of the new costumery. The blue, green and coral of this symbolic bit of Egyptian life is copied in gowns, and especially in jewelry. With all this atmosphere of the East, of Cairo and Alexandria reflected in the clothes of the hour, it seems probable that the straight, plaited skirt that hangs plumb from the waistline will outlive the one with the side drapery at the hips. But even if both remain equal in value and fashion, one thing is certain—that there is no chance for the skirt with the wide hem. Since January, skirts have lessened in width below the knees, and although the public refused to believe that the wide, faring, umbrella skirt belonged to a day that was done, the dressmakers have insisted upon its use. In Paris they diminished the width of skirts gradually, but over here the change appeared to come overnight, although the prophets and experts had been insisting upon this revolution for three months. The trouble with the public is that it will rarely believe what it reads, but relies on what it sees. This is good, sound wisdom, but it often keeps a woman from being prepared for a change when it comes. The shops have the canny business instinct to supply the old with the new as long as they've got both on hand, but it is the duty of the reporter to tell of what is coming more insistently than what is going. at, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

Dental floss is the best thing on which to string pearl, coral or bead beads. The floss may be bought at any large drug store for 10 or 12 cents a spool. To fasten the end neatly to the clasp, run the floss through the end two beads, 'hen through the ring on the clasp and back through the end two beads, knotting between the second and third beads, and then cutting. This hides the knots. Do not use a needle in stringing. If the end of the floss is not stiff enough rub with beeswax. By knotting the floss frequently between the beads only a few will drop off if the chain ever breaks, thus saving the beads and perhaps avoiding an embarrassing and trying situation.
