Manning at New York Meeting Eloquent Lawyer Protests Against Miarepresentation in Some Southern States. New York. The hearty cooperation between white and colored citizens in movements for the good of the masses of both races in various sections of the country is an indication of the growth in friendliness of the two races toward a better understanding of their problems and how to solve them. The great mass meeting in appreciation of the Hon. Joseph C. Manning held in New York recently, was therefore, a wise and timely movement on the part of our people. For thirty years Mr. Manning has championed the cause of our race in the south. He believes that the race is entitled to the ballot, has a right to the protection of the law as given in the constitution and its amendments. A right is a just claim. Among the prominent and influential men who delivered addresses in commemoration of Mr. Manning's work were HON. JOSEPH C. MANNING. the Hon. Edward F. Crain of the Republican club, this city; Attorney Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, N. J.; Hon. George E. Wibcau of Brooklyn, Colonel William M. P. Bowen, chairman of the Republican city committee, Providence, R. I. Mr. Bowen is a distinguished barrister and a diligent advocate of the principles of human justice. In his address Mr. Bowen in part said: "I count it a privilege to join with you all in this merited tribute to the work of Hon. Joseph C. Manning. He has felt the iron hand of Bourbon rule, he has reached many minds that count and he has often, almost unmissed, kept burning the light that shows the way to a just freedom. I wish that I might say the people of the north have appreciated his devotion as they might, but in the generality of the application of southern misrepresentation, in the multiplication of their own individual interests and in the overshadowing European struggle, I fear that all our people have not yet urged their consciences as they should to action on this important subject. It has remained for you in this serried meeting to emphasize the voice of those who have loved justice and lusted iniquity." Political Reforms Needed. "Eashins and mankind move in recurring cycles. Some years ago, through Mr. Mannings efforts in the collection of convincing evidence, a large number of franklyly elected Democratic congressmen were elected from their seats. Today there is a growing discussion of suggested changes in the national election laws to prevent in future the wholesale robbery of the federal franchise by one portion of the country to maintain its political ascendency at Washington, through strangling the vote and carrying off his vote. "We in the north and west have a direct concern in the presidential office and in the membership of the congress. It is no mere matter of local interest, whether justifiable in local public opinion or not." Southern suppression of the national ballot, both black and white, is playing the game with loaded dice and doesn't give the rest of the country a fair shake. Our property and our human rights are handled in such a way as the preponderating south and its allies may dictate, irrespective of what the actual majority of the whole people in this country may desire. In the language of the street, the tail wags the dog. "Now, what are we going to do about it? Well, let us see." "We can protest to our southern friends and arouse their sense of justice. That protest has already been made and doubtless its truth has been felt by some, but the dominant political organizations of the south have smiled amiably, filed the protests away in the attic with grandfather's clock, thrown out some narrowing suggestions about not "wiving the bloody shirt" or "stirring up sectional feeling," and continued carefully to hang on to what they already have. This is all interesting, but unprofitable. "What else is suggested? A national election law—call it what you will—that recognizes the right of every citizen of the United States of America to vote without intimidation for president and vice president and for senators and representatives in the congress and to have his vote honestly counted as cast. No longer should membership in the federal house of representatives be based upon population alone, but the provisions of Section 2 of the fourth amendment to the federal constitution should be made a living force rather than exist as a mere scrap of paper. For one thing at least bipartisan federal inspectors of elections throughout the United States would generally give the country the facts upon which to reduce properly the representation in the congress from those states where the national franchise is denied or abridged. American Autocracy Condemned. American Autocracy Condemned. "We discuss today a state of war with the German empire for interfering with the rights of American commerce and of American citizens to use the free goods, and we urge pledging common sense to counter the ruthless doctrine of shaking ships without warning in a violation of international law which affects our lives, safety and property. But as a nation we have remained too indifferent to the beam in our own eye. We have condemned foreign autocracy and apologized for American, but we haven't yet effectively stopped either. "How shall we bring about appropriate and effective national action on the southern question? In just the good old way that we Americans always employ, whether at the grocery senate, the crossroads, the clubs or the mass meetings. What did the argomants do, the early settlers, the colonists, the forty-niners, the abolitionists, and today what are the prohibitionists and women suffraghists doing? They acted; they are acting. And so must we until the congress acts. Clean House at Home! "The American people 'maintaining their rights is almost not forget to clean house at home, must not forget to spread the gospel of equal national rights, human justice and liberty as an actual fact and not a mere theory. "When that is done state, rights will keep step willingly with national and naturally adjust themselves to their censure. We can all do missionary work in this cause, by discussing it with our neighbors, by pushing it forward in the press, the magazines and in public gatherings. And lastly, but not least, let us support with such means as we can afford the work of those who, like Mr. Manning, are devoting their lives and their labor to the cause of truth. Supply the slews of war and his tried leadership will do the rest without fear or favor and without faltering, but with boundless enthusiasm and winning the victory. BAPTISTS CALL MEETING. Nashville, Tenn., Selected For Executive Session of Unincorporated Body. The annual meeting of the executive committee of the national Baptist convention (unincorporated) will be held in Nashville, Tenn., on Thursday, June 14. The first session of the committee will be held at 10 o'clock a.m. Besides the work of preparing the program for the next annual meeting of the sold convention, which is to be held at Albany, Ga., in September, the committee will pay many other important matters to chalk its attention. All the presidents at large from each state and territorial convention and the elected officers of the national Baptist convention, the chairman and secretaries of the various boards are members of the executive committee and are urged to present. There will be reduced rates on practically all railroads to Nashville on account of the Sunday school congress. It is therefore urged that the members arrange to reach Nashville not later than noon Tuesday, June 13. Every member is urgently requested to notify the secretary whether he can or cannot attend. CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Edwin B. Fairweather is on a business tour to Belize in co-operation with A. B. Starr, chief engineer of a New York corporation, to investigate the possibilities of the Coline palm nut resources at Belize and vienna. Mr. Fairweather has gained considerable experience by travel and contact with business men of South and Central America and has first hand knowledge of the methods used in handling marketable tropical products to advantage. On his return to New York the coming summer Mr. Fairweather will discuss with his business associates the entire situation, giving account of conditions as he found them. Whether he will establish the palm nut business, in New York depends upon whether a sufficient supply of the product can be regularly obtained to warrant the outlay in capital it will take to establish the industry. Defender Proaches Sound Doctrine. The Chicago Defender in speaking editorially of racial attitude in our country's present crisis says, "We will brush aside the hundred and one reasons why we should not shoulder arms for the defense of our country and remember the thousand reasons why we should." AMERICA NOBLE M. JOHNSON. Well Known Actor Who is Showing Some Interesting Developments of Race Progress. In a Hitherto Untried Field Amply Prepared For His Work and Is Winning His-Laurels. The progress of the colored people of the United States in education, business and the various professions is creditable and worthy of commendation. There are few avenues of industry into which some member of the race has not engaged with measurable success. This advance is largely due to education, aspiration and able leadership through organized effort. In this connection we doubt if any organization has been more helpful than the National Negro Business league. In the new field of development of racial activities, such as light dramas, vaudeville and photoplayers the race is making splendid headway. The Lincoln Motion Picture company, with headquarters in Los Angeles and a branch office in Philadelphia, is one of the most potent movements launched by Negro capital. The company has for its object the presentation of motion pictures showing Negro progress as portrayed by Negro characters. It offers a direct contradiction to the films that present the Negro in an altogether circumcenss, light. In this direction the company has done much toward educating the public relative to the best side of the Negro's life and to break down impressions, based altogether upon prejudice and injustice. The company was organized primarily to meet this condition and to furnish to the ambiguous young men and women of the race an unexploded field. The president of the company is Noble M. Johnson, who is one of the best known young men in his life among us. Mr. Johnson is employed with the Universal Photoshop company and has starred in such well known photo dramas as "Intolerance." "The Western Governor's Humanity." "The Death Warrant." and others. He knows every phase of the business, and in this direction he is able to bring to his work the background that is necessary to make it real and interesting. The officers are Dr. J. Thomas Smith, vice president and treasurer, and Clarence A. Brooks, secretary, all of whom are well known business men. The entrance of the Negro into this need, which is the fifth greatest industry in the world, is doing more to get the correct side of Negro picture before the nation than any other single agency. The first Negro picture produced by this company was entitled "Realization of a Negro's Ambition," which was a two part drama based upon love and adventure and which presented the true ambition of a colored youth's aspiration. NEW VOLUME OF POEMS. Writings of Phillis Wheatley issued In Attractive Form. From the Pendleton Press of Washington has been issued an attractive, printed and handsomely bound volume of 112 pages of the poems and letters of Miss. Phillis Wheatley, the poetess of the Revolution and the first women in America to publish a book of poems, says Bruce "Gritt." The compilation is the work of the late George Herbert Renfro, who was a native of Washington and in his day a promising young lawyer. The book also contains an admirable sketch of the life and work of Renfro from the facile pen of Mrs. Lola Ames Pendleton, an authoress of quite considerable distinction; Collectors will and this edition of Miss Wheatley's poems a valuable addition to their libraries and in it many poems of this clever young woman which have not hitherto been published. The Pendleton Press is a race institution and deserves the highest commendation for the excellence of its workmanship in the publication and binding of this latest claimant to public favor. Haddeston Heads Leesville (Ga.) Guard Mack Haddeston, who has seen service at the front as a soldier, is in command of a new company of colored men recently organized at Leesville, La. The men are, very enthusiastic over the prospect of being mustered into the federal service. Most of the members are farmers and have little time for practice during the day, let report promptly for drill every night. The company will be known as the Leesville guards. One Year.....$1.50.

A national conference will be held in Washington, D. C., May 16 and 17, at which the third Spingarn medal, for the most distinguished accomplishment by a person of Negro descent during the year 1916, will be awarded. Robert L. Waring, Esq. of New York City, has published an open letter to President Wilson which is a strong appeal for the "opening of all branches of the military service to all American citizens for their enlistment." Maj. H. W. Stamford, in charge of local recruiting for the government, in discussing the apathy of the whites as to enlisting, announced recently that he had received orders from the War Department not to enlist any more Negroes who have not had previous military experience, because the four Afro-American regiments in the regular army were full and there is no law authorizing the organization of any more Negro regiments. This also explains the little note—"If persons of African descent tear off this corner"—on the lower left-hand corner of the government's conscript registration cards, which also require every signer to state what "race" he belongs to. AS TO HOUSING THE NEW- COMERS. Two weeks ago. Sunday, as well as last Sunday, car-loads of Afro-Americans arrived in Cleveland and other cities in Ohio (particularly the larger ones) from the South. Most of them came poorly clad and with little if any money. For many months they have been coming and during the entire time it has been clear to everybody that Cleveland and the other cities of this and other northern states have been unable to house them. They have been living in temporary quarters and even worse. This is not out of the ordinary because they have come in such numbers and without any previous preparation having been made to care for them. Our people of this city, apparently more backward than those of sister cities in this section of the country, have not taken hold of the matter as yet in such a way as to provide homes, even temporary, for these newcomers. Something preparations have been made for, many months ago. Tuesday a delegation of our people called on the mayor, and made an appointment for this Friday, to ask him to place the problem of housing our newcomers he steadfastly refused to appoint an Afro-American a member of. Another vain effort to do what is so sadly needed is the offering for rent suits of rooms and houses at figures—$25, $30 and even $35 per month—that are positively prohibitive as far as the great majority of the newcomers, and many others for that matter, are concerned. What our local civic organizations should have done long ago, and what they will eventually be compelled to do, is to get together and seek out or create quarters, if only for temporary use, that can be secured by the newcomers—our people from the South—at low rentals. In some cases, persons will have to be cared for, temporarily, free of charge. It is coming to this whether we think so or not and it is long past time when steps should be taken by our civic organizations and others to meet the situation. There is no disguising the fact that the present exodus from the South is the greatest in the history of this country and that it will not get well under way until warmer weather. The current of travel is even now bringing many thousands into Ohio each week. More than fifteen hundred landed in Cincinnati Sunday morning. Four times that number will reach the same city during the present week. The movement to bring African-American labor from the south was started last year. Railways needed labor, as did factories along their lines. Agents, sent to the south, have done their work so well that the greatest exodus of the country is under way. It promises to reach proportions heretofore unheard of. One man in the movement says that by the end of the present year the organization will have brought from the south to the north more than a million of our people in eighteen months. The employment forces that organized the exodus receive a dollar for each man they bring to employers. The movement last summer and winter was confined almost wholly to men. They were distributed through cities from St. Louis to Buffalo. Now the men have sent for their wives and children. A Sunday train from Cincinnati to Cleveland brought one car loaded with women and children, to join their men folks in Cleveland, Ashtabula and Buffalo. The party was from Bloxi, Miss. Conditions in Cleveland are in the main the same as in other cities. The housing problem is the hardest. Our local boarding and rooming houses are packed. Few additional places can be found. Last summer and fall many of the men were housed in tents on contract work near the city. This same condition exists today. Our people must stop talking and ACT! THE BIRTH OF A NATION We saw the much talked of "Birth of a Nation" film down in Cincinnati the other night. As a picture it is a wonderful creation, no doubt of that. The purely mechanical effects are unsurpassed and the historical representations are doubtless but little exaggerated, although decidedly more emphasis is laid upon the excesses of the Negro race than upon the northern scalawags and carpet baggers who assault on to riot, robbery and assault, to the extent that we saw the picture. It did not learn single elevating thought, not a solitary pleasant memory. Rather the after impression was that of a horrid nightmare, and that impression was shared by the group of Ohio newspaper editors who were in our party. Looking back today, after the lapse of time we are confirmed in our original biography that we can come from the exhibition of such a picture. It is bound to excite race feeling, it is bound to arouse feelings of antagonism in the minds of white people against the colored race as a whole, to visit indiscriminately upon the colored people of today suspicion born of the sins and the crimes of the day of the enemy. For race during the days of reconstruction. And stated, the fact that those crimes and excesses were engineered and manipulated by vicious and irresponsible white carpet baggers, who slunk to the rear while the fighting was on and forged to the front when peace came. We are repeat that we saw the picture. And we repeat that we do not see wherein it can do anyone any good to the Negro race, and will get your fill in the representation.—Portsmouth Daily Times (Democratic). TRULY A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT Baronese Huard, an American Woman Daughter of Francis Mason, Well Known The big French War Exhibit opened Wednesday in Gray's Armory with a record rush. Hundreds of grim tools of the great struggle in Europe are on exhibition and hold the interest for hours. Big guns that spit destruction at Verdun, torn battle planes, captured German aeroplanes, battered ambulances, German "Minnewerfers," mortars, and there Baron and Baron Charles Hussard of the French government, in charge of the exhibit, are enthusiastic over the response of the Cleveland people. The French government has entrusted to Baron and Baroness Hussard 25 reels of official pictures showing some of the desperate conflicts on the Somme. They are wonderful. Actual trenches have also been dug southeast of the Somme, where they dugouts, hospitals, parapets and plank walks have been precisely reproduced by "Corporal" Jack Hand. The exhibit will continue for a week and the proceeds will be equally divided between the Cleveland Red Cross Chapter and the French War Relief Society.

LONDON, England—Continuing its campaign against efforts to settle the Irish question, the London Morning Post enlists the services of Frederic Harrison, the author and authority on international law. In a letter written here Mr. Harrison says: "What would the Americans do if we intervened in one of their dilemmas? What would they say and breeders were to summon them with passionate appeals to raise up their colored citizens to equal dignity, to wipe the national stigma off the commonwealth—that every man or woman born with dark skin is born into shame, exclusion and the life of a pariah race."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1917. 10,800 WILL CROSS SEA Engineers Ordered for Duty in the War Zone. Nine Regiments, Composed of Railroad Workers, to Carry the Stars and Stripes on French Soil. Washington, D. C. — An expeditionary force of 10,800, composed entirely of railroad workers under the leadership of officers of the United States engineer corps, will be the first to carry the Stars and Stripes overseas. They will be sent to France to take over a large part of the work on the lines of communications behind the battle front. Orders to recruit the force immediately have just come forward from the war department. Nine regiments will be formed, each officered by a colonel and adjutant from the ranks of the recruits. Not even the officers' reserve corps will be called upon. The "first 10,000," as they are already being called in the war department, will be separate from any other unit or organization in the service. They will be secured entirely through volunteer methods, and will not be a part of the engineer corps, even though flying the pennants of that organization. The war department has issued the following statement relative to the new corps: The war department has sent out orders for the raising, as rapidly as possible, of nine additional regiments of engineers, who are destined to proceed to France at the earliest possible moment for work on lines of communications. It is requested of the press that no information be provided regarding this force be carried by it other than those given out by the war department. All details with regard to the force will be released by the department as fast as compatible with the public interests. Two officers from the regular corps of engineers have been assigned to such regiment, but the names of these officers will not be announced at the present time. American Winter Crop Lowest Since 1888, According to Federal Report. Washington, D. C. — In the face of a threatened world food shortage the American winter wheat crop shows the lowest condition recorded since 1888 and promised a smaller yield than any other since 1904. The reporting board of the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture, made the following estimates from reports of its correspondents and agents: "On May 1, the area of winter wheat to be harvested was about 27, 653,000 acres, or 12,437,000 acres (31 per cent) less than the acreage planted last autumn, and 7,716,000 acres (20.6 per cent) less than the acreage harvested last year, viz., 34,829,000 acres. The average condition of winter wheat on May 1 was 73.2 compared with 63.4 per cent on April 1, 82.4 on May 1, 1916, and 86.6, the average for the 10 years past on May 1. A condition of 73.2 per cent on May 1 is indicative of a yield per acre of approximately 13.2 bushels, assuming average variations to prevail thereafter. On the estimated area to be harvested, 13.2 bushels per acre would produce 366,116,000 bushels, or 24 per cent less than 1916, 45.7 per cent less than in 1915, and 46.6 per cent less than in 1914. The outurn of the crop will probably be above or below the figures given above, according as to the change in conditions from May 1 to harvest is above or below the average change. Agricultural conditions otherwise are good, the department announced, and it recalled that although the winter wheat crop of 1912 showed an equally discouraging outlook the total production of crops that year was the greatest on record. History was again made in the wheat pit on the Chicago board of trade. The May future sold there at $3. This price was never reached before in the Chicago market. Twenty Hurt in Trolley Crash. Fremont, Ohio. — Twenty persons were injured in a Lake Shore Electric wreck at Gibsonburg Junction. None of the victims was fatally injured. Four were taken to hospitals in Toledo. A westbound limited car crashed into an eastbound local on the junction siding, telescoping it. J. C. Monfort, limited motorman, and C. A. Sunner, local motorman, Fremont, saved their lives by jumping. Both vestibules were crushed and half the local car was torn away. Two Student Aviators Killed. Hempstead, New York. — Two student aviators who had never piloted an airplane before and who were said to have begun a flight without permission at the government aviation school at Mineola, were killed after a fall of 1,000 feet.

Toledo, Ohio. — Mrs. Evelyn Marleau, indicted on the charge of first degree murder growing out of the shooting of Alvin Czelusta, street car employee, the afternoon of Feb. 2, was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury, April 8. The usual motion for a new trial was made. The defense pleaded self-defense. The verdict is believed to have resulted from the plea made to the jurors by Miss Esther Antin, who was employed by the state as special prosecutor in this case. Love of Flowers May Cause Death. Salem, Ohio. — Love of flowers, perhaps the ruling trait of Charles Pim of Garfield, near here, may cost him his life, physicians say. In order to care for a profusion of the plants he loves, Pim converted a portion of his home into a greenhouse. Then Pim's health began to fail. A physician declared the growing flowers had absorbed so much of the oxygen in the home that the owner had not had enough left for healthful living. But they also gave off poisonous matter.

White Whale In Big Demand Ben Nygren, who, with his partner, Sam Torkolson, is making a success of the white whale industry at Cape Nome, is in town. He says that white whales have been plentiful this season. At the white whale plant at Cape Nome no part of the animal is wasted, Hides, flesh, oil and bones are all utilized. Th hides bring a good price and are made into the strongest kind of leather. After the oil is extracted the meat is dried and sold for dog meat. The oil of the white whale is said to excel the oil of any fish. Some of the local product is so clear and transparent that one can look through it and easily read a paper held on the other side. It sells in England at the remarkable price of $500 a barrel. One single fleet carrying the products of the Norwegian white whale industry recently sold its cargo for more than 26 million dollars.-Nome Nugget. "What are you boring there?" "A gold mine." "Bah!

Maybe the stock speculators have an inside tip about when the war will end. But when they rush to sell when Germany suggests peace and then rush to buy when the allies say "No." It looks as if they didn't know anything more about it than anybody else. New York reports 1,200,000 steerage tickets purchased by foreigners in this country for use after the war, when they will return to their old homes. This ought to be enough to supply the demand for guides who can speak English. The American price on a 16-inch shell is as high as $900, but when one pauses to calculate the ruin, misery, heartache and horror that a single one of these projectiles can produce, the cost seems very reasonable.

HER TONIC is the result of scientific study of the causes of diseases of the scalp. As instead of treating effects of the diseases she treats the causes, eliminating the same and leaving the scalp in a healthy condition that can be maintained by using her Hair Tonic and Invigorator, I. G. Madaine C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator is guaranteed to stop the falling out of the hair and to make the hair grow. It has been successfully used by many ever since 1990 and with perfect satisfaction. This Tonic is highly recommended by many Toledo people and elsewhere, who will gladly furnish testimonials. Many people have already prepared to study using widely advertised hair tonics prepared by unscrupulous persons who have in mind nothing but mercenary gain. On the other hand, ADAM JONES' HAR TONIC and INVIGATOR is absolutely harmless and will do all that is claimed for it. Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator promotes the growth of the hair and the badness, which moves dandruff, cures scalp diseases, imparts lustre and beauty; it restores the color of the hair by supplying it with the natural elements and necessary nourishment. MADAME C. H. JONES 353 Woodland Ave. Toledo, Ohio Agents Wanted. SPLENDID-ENDORSEMENT. Toledo, Ohio, March 15, 1910. This is to certify and stimulate an acquaintance that has passed over many years, and has furnished an abundance of advice beyond a question of doubt, the veracity of which Madame Chara Jones has acquainted with the formula and have an adequate knowledge of every ingredient, and can truthfully affirm that no combination of drugs have caused a disease in the case that has been prescribed, in order to be a pleasure to practice medicine, if I were as certain of the medical effects of the medication (Madame Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator) will produce. I am cheerfully recommend it to any one who may be in need of such a remedy. It is the best that the human mind has produced so far. CHAS. H. FERGUSON. M. D.

Mr. John Matson, for years employed at the Erie Ry. dep, this city, died about a year ago, leaving an estate valued at about $12,000, which it was feared might escheat to the state. A large part of the personal property and stocks was claimed by a Mr. Elsworth (white), who kept a saloon ware, which he used warm and roomed many years. Alex H. Martin, Esq, became interested in the matter as attorney for a wife and two children of Mr. Matson, who were slaves with him in Maryland before the war of the rebellion. Mr. Martin went there last fall, and took the depositions of these heirs. Last week Wednesday, a final decision was secured from our courts in their favor.

New York, N. Y.—It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxetad iron. Such astonishing results have been asked to explain why they prefer it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms.

If people would only take Nuxetad iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing themselves with it, they would not have to drink draughts, stimulants and alcoholic beverages. I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thinnings and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, gripe, kidney stones, frostbite and other geros maladies.

Man Who Killed Wife's Admirer Acquitted. Professor Is Saved From Death in the State Electric Chair by 'Unwritten Law' of the South. Christiansburg, Virginia.—The "unwritten law" of the south saved Prof. Charles E. Vawter from death in the electric chair. As the jury, after deliberating for one hour and fifty minutes, filed into the court room and freed the man who had slain Stockton Heth, jr., his wife's admirer, his old mother rushed to his side, put her arms around him and sobbed hysterically. Vawter shot and killed Heth in the Vawter home early on the morning of March 13 last, after Vawter had become convinced his wife, a society leader and noted beauty, had been unfaithful to her marriage vows with Heth. On the witness stand the woman admitted her guilt and told of her relations with Heth to save her husband from conviction. The prosecution also offered in evidence a letter written by Vawter in which he offered to sell his wife to Heth in exchange for the payment of whiskey bills. Mrs. Vawter also on the stand swore Heth had debauched both her and her husband, and had led them to drink whiskey and been the source of all their troubles. U.S. GUNNERS SHOOT, U-BOAT DISAPPEARS New York City. — An armed American line steamship, which arrived here from a European port, reported that her gun crew fired six shots at a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 2. The undersea boat immediately submerged and it was impossible to determine whether any of the shots took effect. The periscope of the submarine was sighted about 6 p. m. and the American vessel immediately swung around to afford the gunners an opportunity for accurate aim. The undersea craft disappeared simultaneously with the firing of the first shot, it was said, and did not reappear. The American ship then put on full speed and proceeded on her course.

GINGHAM REVIVED AFTER MANY YEARS --- Wash Brocks For Children Striped Cottons Adopted by Women Who Set Fashions in America. BOON TO HOME DRESSMAKER With Inexpensive Materials Made Available Any Woman Can Have Varied Wardrobe for Summer Months. New York.—It has been decades since gingham was worn. There were times when every woman abused the material by trimming it with satin and lace, and turning it into a frock of ceremony. It was considered appropriate for the afternoon hours. It ranked with satin, volle, hankerchief linen. Today gingham has been revived by the smart women who launch the spring styles at Palm Beach. Young women found in it an agreeable change from the ubiquitous jersey cloth and serge. Someone in Paris had brought striped muslins into high fashion, and those in this country who remembered the gayety of gingham in the old days, and realized that here, in this country, were to be found all sorts of alluring cotton, took it into their clever heads to reinstate them. Palm Beach really set the seal of approval on the so-called humble fabric and it is probable that we shall see much of it as the season advances. Why not? In every way gingham carries out the modern demand in clothes. Its coloring is happily chosen, its stripes and checks, its plaid designs are accepted in all other fabrics. The lessening of the output of novelty fabrics, the ability of the mills to turn out admirable cotton weaves, the mark that fashion has put upon simple materials as evidences of good taste in a time of national stress, the comfort of cotton in hot weather, are fashion facts that build a strong foundation for gingham. The Incoming of Cottons. the morning or cotton. On this foundation also rests the claim that other fabrics of the common garden vary in their use this summer. The Southern hills have always produced quantities of inexpensive materials in alluring colors, materials that are woven to stand the heat and sun and which have served the Southern women for generations. These have their showing in the towns of other districts, but they are not as commonly accepted or as well-known as they should be. These fabrics are not always treated in an inexpensive way by those who buy their clothes at expensive places. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The satin is deftly draped from shoulder to ankles with a pointed train. There is silver lace down one side only, and one arm is draped with a band of rhinestones. It is a mistake to suppose that the price of a gown is lowered by the price of the fabric used, if one has it made by a high-class dressmaker. One must pay the same for the cutting and fitting of a gingham as of a satin or chiffon. Striped muslins sell for the same price in the great shops and dressmaking houses as silk net, French Jersey cloth and silk. As the dressmakers explain it, the salary paid to the various "artists" who give their time to the making of a garment necessitates asking a big price for it, despite the original outlay for the building ingredients. When each of the principal workers Not in Many Years Have Colored Fabrics Been Used So Much for Child Under Five or Six. Not in many years have there been so many colored wash dresses for even wee children. A few years ago it was thought that pure white was the only color suitable for the child under five or six. But now, in spite of the dye problems that might lead one to avoid colored goods because of their scarcity and high price, we find even toddlers dressed in colored gingham, percales and chambray, pliques, cordelins and linens, either in color or in white. The children's dresses this year and the children's coats, also, show a tendency to age grown-up people's clothes in having very elaborate pockets, many of these standing well off from the child's figure, following the style of grown-up people's pockets. When a frock or coat is chosen for play purposes, however, pockets of this sort are not to be recommended. At THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O..

Choose whatever fabric you will, is the comment of the head of the establishment, the price remains about the same. There is reason and order in this. It is in selling cotton frocks at the price of satin ones that many dressmakers are able to even up the losses on frightfully expensive French models from which almost nothing has been realized. **Season of Home Dressmaking.** But, after all, only the minority buy their clothes at the palaces of industry. Thousands of ready-to-wear departments throughout the country cater to the desires of the majority easily and Q The frock is of black lace, with a tulle apron heavily trimmed with jet.

Also, the summer is the season of quantities of home dressmaking. Favoring winds, long days of light, less street activities, contribute to the desire of the large majority of women to accomplish much sewing, to add a dozen garments to the few their dress allowance permits them to buy in the shops. A woman can do with few clothes in cold weather. We all have a touch of the Eskimo in our ability to continue in the same garments while the ground freezes and so do we. But warm weather brings a riotous desire to have clothes heaped upon the closet shelves, separate garments, blouses, frocks, skirts, at any price, so they be fresh, clean and plentiful. In a season of satin, chiffon and jersey it was not possible for any but the rich to be freshly and variously arrayed from May until October, but with the incoming of cottones, striped, plaid, plain, of white muslin trimmed with colored cotton, of white cotton net trimmed with ribbon, of cotton volle touched with embroidery, there is hope for everyone. No wonder the sewing machines are being oiled and cleaned and patterns are being sought and the shops searched for good-looking ginghams and Turkey red and candy-striped muslins and black and white handkerchaws and bandanna handkerchiefs bought to prepare for a veritable orgy of sewing. Copying French Designs. The best way to go to at the making of all these inexpensive frocks is to copy, as far as taste and opportunity allow, the gowns of high degree. There are marked differences between gowns for the formal and the informal hours, and the knowledge and application of these differences actually mark the line between a woman who is well dressed and one who is not. Consistency is a jewel in dressing as well as in character, despite the fact that most people believe with Mr. Emerson that consistency is the vice of small minds. There are several interpretations, however, of the word, and as it is used to express a certain highly developed and trained sense of the suitability and relation of clothes and the woman, it has no qualities of vice in it, no, not even the minor and pleasant qualities of it. To trim gingham with lace and ribbon, to fashion it as though dealing with satin, is to be inconsistent. To wear gingham to an afternoon tea or dance, is to be inconsistent. But to build a gingham frock after the manner of a satin or French jersey frock is acceptable. The silhouette remains the same whether for afternoon, evening or morning; whether on the tennis court, the country club porch, the ballroom or the breakfast table of one's own home. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) best a child's pocket is a temptation as a most inviting receptacle for stones, pebbles and various sorts of vegetation. When the pocket is large and open-mouthed, this temptation is one that no normal child can resist. If there are pockets they ought not to be very wide at the top, and when they are used merely for decoration it is a good idea, if possible, to stitch them close. The Perennial Tailored Suit We often hear, early in the season, the announcement that tailored suits will not be greatly used, or later we are told that tailored suits have not been worn as much as dresses and coats; but never was there a time when tailored suits did not play a most important part in the wardrobe of the fashionable American woman. It would be a strong-minded designer indeed who could refuse the American woman anything so dear to her heart as the tailored suit—Vanity Fair. HATS ARE SIMPLE Elaborate Trimming Is Conspicuous by Its Absence. Cloche Shape Are Ruling Favoriter Among the French Millinery Models This Year. The new millinery models are exceedingly picturesque, the cloche shapes are leading favorites, and the cloche hats of 1017 are exceptionally becoming and wearable, writes Idalia de Villiers, a Paris correspondent. For the greater part these hats have comparatively narrow brims, combined with very full, often high, crowns, the genuine Lumbar crown, which has always proved attractive. In his Monte Carlo establishment Lewis is showing some rarely lovely hats and touques, which depend for suc- A Picturesque "Cabriolet" Model. cess almost entirely on their uncommon outline. This year, more than ever, elaborate and heavy trimmings are given no place in the millinery world. Certainly it is true that some of the spring hats intended for afternoon or restaurant wear show effective arrangement of flowers, or even feathers, but elaborately trimmed hats are conspicuous by their absence. The beautiful "cabriolet" model illustrated here is a shape which is certain of a triumphant career. This is a hat which would prove specially becoming to American women, and it is the correct hat to wear with tailored suits of serge or cloth, or even with a handsome satin dress at a restaurant dinner. This is a genuine cloake shape, but the crown is not entirely Lambale, though the outline suggests the Marie Antoinette period. The original model, created by Paquin, was made of dull black satin and lined with raspberry-pikch chip. There was absolutely no trimming, the folds of the crown being so cleverly arranged that a rich effect was obtained by the most simple means. Long strings of soft black satin ribbon were added and these strings, instead of being tied, were carelessly thrown round the neck, the ends falling at the back. This hat would look lovely in dark violet panne, with a lining of black chip and strings of violet satin ribbon, or in wine-red velvet. Lewis has received the ribbon hats with which he had such a success a few years ago; hats covered with plain or interlaced ribbons and lined with chip or pedal straw. These little hats are quite charming and eminently useful. They are so simple that they can be worn in the early morning with a severely plain tailored suit and yet they are so decorative that, with the addition of a single rose or a carcade of headed tule, they are dressy enough for the most ceremonious occasion. WASHING PARASOLS IS EASY Simple Method Suggested for Those Who Have Back Yard and Garden. Hose Available. With hand-embroidered silk and linen parasols, in delicate colors or all white, here to stay—showing only minor variations in detail from year to year—suggestions for their renovation at home, when soiled, are often to be seen. The instruction usually given is for scrubbing the parasol white open, with a soft brush as such as many use for facial cleansing, and with one of the pure-soap preparations that are warranted not to alter any color that clear warm water leaves unchanged. Finally the "operator" is directed to rinse the parasol in a tub (presumably a bathtub) of clear water; then to dry it, open, in the shade. The above procedure can be made to answer by those who have neither a backyard of any extent nor a garden POLO VESTS FOR SPORT WEAR Women Adopt Gilets or Waistcoats Which Have Been Taken Bodily From Men's Apparel. The true polo player wears his vest buttoned higher in the neck than the polo vests of modern feminine attire, and he would not permit braid and buttons on it, but the scarlet jersey vest, with its white collar and full sleeves of organdie, topped by a hat with a visored brim, is so suggestive of the costume of a polo player that one instantly sees in it the suitability for outdoor sports. These gilets or waistcoats, which have been bodily taken from men's apparel, are excessively smart. Some women are trying to buy them ready to wear in the men's departments of the smart haberdashery places; others are making them at home from patterns easily obtained from the waistcoats owned by the men of the family. Gayly colored jersey cloth, the worsted, not the silk weave, is the really smart thing in a gilet, and braid and buttons as well as little pockets down hose. But for those who are fortunate to command the two luxuries mentioned, the thorough cleansing of the linen or silken sunshade can be accomplished much more easily and efficiently. The method entails no handling of the article while wet, and so eliminates the risk of consequent streaking of the fabric, either from insufficient rinsing while shut or on account of that necessary opening and closing. Open the parasol and lash it firmly, upright, to a low post or to a long, strong peg driven securely into the ground. Wet with inkwarm water, all over, and scrub with the above-mentioned soft hairbrush dipped into a good soap solution. Pay most careful attention to the almost inevitable streak down the middle of each section, where the fold comes when it is shut. This done, turn a strong, steady spray on it from the hose, both inside it and outside, until every atom of soap and soil vanishes from the fabric, without chance of doubt. Then let the parasol dry, just as it stands. Should a garden hose be unattainable, many patials of clear water, poured over the parasol with vigor, can be made to serve instead. FASHION'S FANCIES Etamine and organicle are combined in one model. The tunic has quietly stepped into fashion again. Serge and satin are combined in tall- lored costumes. Young girls' evening frocks are still a trifle narrow. Nearly all the new coats are loosely belted in front. Yellow and wistaria are fashionable evening shades. Suede trimmings are seen on the new velours suits. Many Spanish notions are seen in the new millinery. Foulard is used a great deal in making summer frocks. String colored cloth frocks have embroidery in navy blue. The newest outfit for spring is the frocks and the short coat. A gray military cape lined with, yellow is immensely fetching. Golden bronze is one of the new colors introduced in suits and frocks. Keeping up with sweaters is a serious proposition. A new model is made of two colors, one above and the other below the waist line. Sometimes a wide decorative band is used at the bottom.

The jersey jumper in blue and white with the oval cut neck is something that is new for sports wear. The jumper is banded on the neck and the edge with the same material in white. The costume is unusual for it was designed for sports wear only and the acme of comfort while participating in any sport was worked into its free and easily fitting lines. near the edges, may be used as lavishly as one wishes. There are other extreme types in these waistcoats that are actually taken from polo garments. They are of bright green or mandarin yellow worsted jersey and fasten up to the collar band. Full sleeves of white muslin are attached to these and turn-over collars of white linen. To Soften the Hands Always use a pure soap and rinse oil the soap off the hands with clear water, dry them thoroughly and rub in the mixture given below: Equal parts of household ammonia, lemon juice and olive oil. Keep a bottle of this on your washstand and use it whenever necessary.

The size of the pagodas increases toward the end.
