The New York State military no technical training for refusing the former captain and therefore accepted and sent him to the War Department at Washington, D. C., to make further disposition of the case. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917. MARQUISE DE MOUSTIER EXPLAINS HOW WOMEN CAN SERVE AMERICA Describes Plan Adopted for Enrolling French Women in Readiness for Call When Civil Mobilization Is OrderedCommittees List the Applicants for the Work for Which They Prove to Be Best Fitted. By FRED B. PITNEY. Correspondent of the New York Tribune, Paris.—The ways in which American women may serve their country as the French women are serving France were described to me by the Marquise de Moustier, member of the Association for the Enrollment of French Women. Civil mobilization in France is not yet an accomplished fact, although Senator Berenger has introduced a bill to make it so. A law is not necessary, however, to induce women to give their time to the service of the country; they have taken it on themselves to form an organization which now counts seventeen branch recruiting offices in Paris, and the work of which is rapidly being extended throughout France. Great success has been recorded, and the movement, which was begun in a comparatively small way by a number of patriotic women anxious to do something in behalf of their country, promises still greater results. One of the secrets of this success has been the co-ordination of effort in the organization, according to the Marquise de Moustier. Everything possible has been concentrated under one central body, and the association, which encountered at first confusion resulting from diverse operations, has developed into a smoothly working body. Real Service Now Rendered. Mistakes due to scattered effort and multiple bodies have been corrected and a real service to the country is now being rendered. There is no lost labor anywhere, and the day the government finally ordains civil mobilization it will find itself already possessed of a well working machine run by women which will serve as a model for the men. The association is directed by a committee whose president is Mme. Emile Boutroux, wife of the Academician. Among the six vice presidents are Mme. Chenu, wife of Maitre Chenu, and the Viscountess Tie Vielard. Besides the secretary and treasurer there are eleven committee members, including the Marquise de Moustier and some of the most prominent men of France. Although the women control their own organization, they have seen fit to seek the advice of men; therefore, included in the association is a consulting committee of thirteen men, representing different organizations and various religious beliefs. This committee includes the Marquis de Vogue, vice president of the farmers of France; M. Tessler, secretary of the Union of Commercial and Industrial Employees; Rabbi Isaiah Levi, Pastor Wilfred Monod, M. Reverdy, vice president of the Catholic Club of Workers, and M. Gervais, secretary of the Union of Government Employees. Meetings Three Times a Week. Committee meetings are held three times a week, the committees being those of organization, propaganda and study. Once a month there is a general meeting of the regular committee and the consulting committee of men. The latter, although having a voice in the council, have no vote, but simply interchange ideas and offer helpful suggestions and advice which the women may need. Enrollment in the association is carried out in the following manner: The prospective applicant for national service receives a bulletin bearing the heading of the association, with a blank space in which the enrollment number is indicated. The form is then filled out and filed. If the applicant fulfills all the requirements she is either immediately placed in the position she desires to fill or, if there is no vacancy at the time, she remains at the call of the organization. The application blank reads: "I, the undersigned, of — nationality, born at — living at —, agree that, on the day France appeals to me, I will work — hours a day, — hours a week, in one of the following categories: Manufacture for industries of exclusively; manufacture other than for industries of war; stockroom employee; agriculture, including gardening; teaching; civil assistance, such as creches, canteens and care of infants; military health service, including nursing and office work; help, such as servant, scullery乳, seamstress and laundry girl in hospitals and military establishments; stenography, bookkeeping, office work. I desire to work at —." Farm Work Not Hindered. This appeal is not addressed to the farming community working at home or elsewhere, who are able to render a greater service to France in remaining at their present posts. They may enroll themselves, but only in the locality of their present employment and where squads can be formed. The following are the examination questions: Had you worked before the war? In what profession? Are you working now? In what profession? Have you passed examinations? If so, which? Would you accept work other than that you have indicated? If so, specify in order or preference. Would you agree to work in a city or district other than that you have indicated? Would you work Sunday? Have you children between five and fifteen living with you? Have you children less than five living with you? If so, how many? if married, does your husband authorize you to enroll? If minor, do your parents authorize you to enroll? Do you agree to work in a category of benevolent service? Are you obliged to ask pay? You are entitled to your salary; you are not to accept a salary lower than that paid ordinarily for work you agree to do. Providing for Day of Need. This bulletin is not a request for immediate employees; it is an inscription for the day when France may have need of new forces. Such persons as have need of immediate work, however, are requested to indicate it. The committee agrees to transmit immediately their demand to the proper authorities. A similar bulletin is devoted to farming enrollment, concluding as follows: The women of the farms have wanted to be associated with the work of voluntary enrollment of French women in the service of the country. They will do it gladly, and, since they are adapted to agricultural life, they will work for the salvation of the country. In enrolling on the lists of this association they will show their desire to persevere, some in remaining where they are, others in putting themselves at the disposition of farmers at the height of the season. Those who cannot work will organize the task of caring for infants in school during vacation. The billboard posters which helped Britain raise an army are now being used by the association to recruit patriotic woman workers. They made their appearance recently on walls in Paris and attracted considerable attention. They read: "Enroll yourself! Give the time you have, so that no effort will be lost. Enroll yourself in the administration, military or health service, or wherever you can be useful." The posters call attention to the need of women adding the nation to the fullest extent. They will, it is believed, greatly increase women's mobilization, used to show what has already been accomplished toward this end. Moving picture films also have been taken by the government, and will be used to speed the work. OFFERS LIFE TO NATION At the age of eighty-four, Col. Peter Paul Dobozy of West Plains, Mo., survivor of the Hungarian insurrection of 1848-49, of the war of France and Italy against Austria in 1859 and a veteran of the Clvll war in this country, has offered his services and his life to the United States. He has asked permission of the government to establish a cavalry training station at West Plains, Mo. He came to this country in 1862 with two nephews of Louss Kossuth and in 1863 organized a regiment of negro heavy artillery. After the war he became an engineer in the Ozark country and blazed the way for the old Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf railway, now a part of the Frisco system. Lace Flag for U. S. Troops. Paris.—The woman lace workers of Velay have united in making a lace flag with the colors of the United States, and intend to present it to the first American regiment that comes to fight upon French soil. General Lafayette came from the region of Velay and the old chateau in which he lived still is standing. Rice for Ink Stains. Wash the stained article, using boiled rice instead of soap, and then rinse in clear water. MEXICANS FLEE U. S. FEARING CONSCRIPTION Brownsville, Tex. — Conscription has terror for the Mexicans. When word came to the border that the great American congress had adopted conscription, the Mexicans who had fled to this side of the border during the troubled days of Madero, Huerta, Villa and Carranzan believed the American brand of conscription would be similar to the Mexican brand. So hundreds of them fled back to Mexico. At El Carmen one Mexican mother gathered up her two sons and set out to cross the river to Mexico on a raft. The raft broke and the three floundered in the water a considerable time until dragged to safety by spectators. She explained she had tried to reach Mexico to save her sons from the horror of the American war. Patriotic Youth Has Clever Scheme, but It Is Detected by Recruiting Officers. Albany, N. Y.—Trying to boost his 5 feet 3 inches up to the standard required for military service, Willis Hartman, a patriotic youth from Glenwood, near here, tried a form of elevation that almost got by the United State marine corps recruiting officers here. Willis went through without a flaw until he stripped to be examined for scars when the doctor discovered several layers of adhesive plaster and a small cotton pad under each heel that gave a "French-heel effect" to the would-be warrior. When it was removed, he lacked one inch of meeting the required height. "I don't want to be a slacker, so I tried my best to enlist," said Hartman, when he was rejected. "The scheme would be all right, too," he added, "if I could only make it stick." WIRELESS FOR MOTORCYCLES Invention of Marine Corps Captain Has a Radius of From 50 to 100 New York—Every motorcycle messenger in the United States army will be equipped with a private wireless outfit, with a radius of from 50 to 100 miles, if the invention of Frank E. Evans, captain in the marine corps, stationed on recruiting duty in New York, receives favorable consideration by the ordnance board. Captain Evans' outfit weighs less than 12 pounds, and can be set up to receive messages in from one to two and a half minutes. It consists of a sending and receiving apparatus, a dynamo attached to the rear wheel and a 100-foot aerial constructed on the order of a steel fishing pole. It is claimed for the invention that constant communication can be maintained with friendly air scouts and field stations. CHICAGO BARS HORSE MEAT Council Committee on Health Rules War Has Not Made Innovation Necessary. Chicago.—Horse steaks for Chicago.) Neigh. neigh! The city council committee on health has ruled that the war has not made the innovation necessary, and therefore has refused to consider an application from Christ Scheer for a permit to open a shop dealing exclusively in the flesh of Old Dobbin. "I feel," said Alderman Cullerton, "that we ought not to listen to a proposition of this kind now. The time is not ripe. Possibly later we may come to it, but it certainly isn't a necessary step now." TRAIN KILLS BRAVE SOLDIER Escapes Shells for Months in Trenches in France, Then Faints on Station Platform. London.—Tired, faint from hunger and sleeplessness, Capt. Clive Durden of the Australians arrived in Victoria station from France. While walking along the platform he fainted, fell under the train and was run over. He had been fighting continually in the most dangerous places in France for six months unscathed and was coming to England to rest. When he was picked up after the accident Captain Durden was conscious. “What rotten luck,” he said, “to miss a million shells and get done in by a toy locomotive.” In an hour he was dead. "Wildcat Was Tame Fox." Pittsburgh, Pa.—"There's a wildcat or some kind of an animal chasing around Ellsworth avenue," an excited woman telephoned the Frankstown avenue police station the other afternoon. Patrolman Philip Flynn was detailed to capture the "wildcat." It turned out to be a gray fox. Flynn trapped it in a box. It later was claimed by Jane Cavanaugh of 517 Eva street, who said the animal was tame. Killed 6,000 Rabbit Stockton, Cal.-Hundreds of hunters participated in a jackrabbit drive at Escalon, which resulted in the estimated killing of between 5,000 and 6,000 of the pests. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OBLIGARCHY OF SOUTH DENOUNCED HON. J. C. MANNING PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO DEMOCRACY. WILL STAND BY COUNTRY Mistreatment and Disfranchisement Sending Many Afro-Americans to the North. Hartford, Conn.—In a powerful address, Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama, a former member of the Alabama Legislature, former postmaster of Alexander City, that state, and for more than twenty-five years a worker for the political freedom of the South, exorcized the political oligarchy of the states below the Mason-Dixon line and flayed members of Congress who, in the surmount the rotten structure of South Carolina, what spoke at a union meeting of Union and Shiloh Baptist churches at the latter, recently. Mr. Manning took occasion to deny in strong terms the charges that our people of the South are being worked upon by German agents; he also affirmed their loyalty, saying that, if the President calls for volunteers, Afro-Americans of the South will rise as a man, take the gun from the President and fight until the war is over; they will then, he said, hand back the gun and whatever of their uniforms are not shot to tatters and again take up their peaceful pursuits in their home land. Mr. Manning spoke at length on the disfranchisement of our people and poor whites in the South, allowing a minority to rule the country South and enable it to control the destinies of the country through the administration at Washington. "It is a pretty commentary on American ideals," he shouted, "when half a million people are forced to leave their homes, their birthplaces, their loved ones, and go to other states to escape political and social slavery. You when you take away the right of a sovereign state, you take away him into the mire of political degradation. There are more white and colored citizens disfranchised in the South today than Washington had in his army when he took charge at the old elm tree. In the state of Alabama, with 500,000 male citizens of voting age—300,000 white and 200,000 African-American Oscar Underwood was elected the state governor by the votes of only 63,000 citizens. Out of the 200,000 Negroes eligible to vote, not 3,000 are permitted to register; out of the 300,000 poor whites eligible, only 125,000 can vote. In the Southern states, with an electorate of six millions, the vote of one and one-half millions dominate the whole. The people of the North have been talked into a state of sympathy by the tyrant Southerners who are in the south. Portrayals of Negro types on the picture screens have helped to spread the doctrine of hatred. While the Southern politicians oppress the Negroes and poor whites of the South for their own selfish ends, the New England Yankees are cajoled into watching the moon." If the running deliared that since last fall, the Southern Negroes to come to the North for political and social freedom and that the next six months will see the migration of many more. He told of the brutal lynchings and physical sufferings of our people of the South and predicted that as surely as freedom was at last found by the oppressed in Russia, just as surely would the oppressed of the South find at last the freedom that they had been seeking. "Is it tritorious that we should speak thus in this hour of national crisis?" said the speaker. "If it is not treason to ask that the arm of Uncle Sam reach even to the Mediterranean to protect and avenge Americans, then it is not tritorious to ask that Uncle Sam protest those citizens in the southern states." Confronted with excessive crime in the Central Ave. district, Chief of Police Rowe has detailed twenty-five pickers to the third precinct in an effort to check the operations of thugs there. To execute the intended "clean-up," he has altered staffs of four police precincts and doubled the force of policemen in the third, where a major portion in the past has been overrun with thieves. Every precipitant has probably the most vigorous move ever made in a single precinct. The third compris that part of the city between Cuyahoga river and E. 55th St., bounded by Carnegie Ave. to E. 22nd St., to Prospect Ave. to E. 14th St., to the Cuyahoga river. It is the most densely populated in the city. "It is the worst precinct in the city for crime," Chief Rowe said. Records at the Central Ave. station are apportioned approximately 180,000 foot of loot by crooks working there in the last month. Action was decided upon following a lengthy conference between the chief and Police Inspector Smith. SACRED HEART CHANCE TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY BE FIGHTERS, NOT SLACKERS All Expenses to Be Paid—Probably Monthly Pay as Well—Fourteen Camps Established All Over the Country—Movement Started by Spingarn Officially Assured of Success. The movement to establish a military training camp in which to train colored men for army officers, started by Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, has now been officially assured of success, but under totally different conditions from those originally outlined. The secretary of war has completely changed the arrangements for all military training camps. Until war was declared these camps were for one month only and were virtually open to any one with very slight qualifications. The war department has now established fourteen officers' training camps all over the country, to last not one but three months and to result in a commission for any one who goes through the full training. At these camps all expenses will be paid, including transportation, food, training and uniform, and it is not unlikely that congress will pass legislation adding monthly pay as well. The camps will start on May 8 and last until Aug. 8, and no one can attend for less than three months. Moreover, no one will be able to obtain a commission in the federal army unless he has gone through one of these camps. Over 350 colored men have already applied for admission to the one month camp originally proposed, and these men must now decide whether they wish to go into the serious business of being officers in earnest and devote their whole summer to the task. If they attend the camp for three months they will be commissioned as second lieutenants or possibly higher, receiving a minimum salary of $1,700 a year. If they do not go to the camp they will probably be conscripted as privates or will be deprived of all opportunity of going to the war either as privates or officers. The war department has definitely stated that it intends to give colored men an opportunity to get this training. The department has not, however, decided whether it will arrange a separate camp for colored officers or whether it will admit Negroes to one or more of the regular camps. In the last few days Dr. Springn and the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People have been bombarding the war department with appeals to admit the colored men to the regular camps, but whichever method is finally adopted colored men would make a serious mistake if they did not take advantage of any opportunity to serve as commissioned officers in the army during this great war. This first series of camps will be historic, and attendance at them will be a proud heritage to pass down to one's children's children. As soon as the actual details are setted official government blanks will be sent to all those who have sent their names to Dr. Spingarm. They will then be required to go before an examining officer to test their physical and educational qualifications. Upon passing this test they will be admitted to the camp, and after receiving their three months' training they will be the first colored officers to be commissioned in the great war. NO RELIGIOUS EXCLUSION. Methodist Conference Accords Full Privileges to the Colored Delegates PRIVILEGES to the Colored Delegates. The suggestion made recently in Boston by Dr. Edgar C. Blake, secretary of the Methodist board of Sunday schools, that unification of the Methodist church of the north and the Methodist church of the south could be brought about by dropping out of the general conference the Negro delegates was openly denounced at the New York conference of the denomination, held recently in New York. The Rev. Philip M. Waters, president of Gammon Theological seminary of Atlanta, Ga., declared that the denomination did not seek unity at the cost of humiliation for its loyal Negro members. Such a suggestion, he declared, was proof that "the cause of democracy is not yet fought out in America." The conference showed itself fully in agreement with him and voted its thanks for his answer to Dr. Blake. Prosperous Society of Virginia Women. The ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn closed the fiscal year of the organization the second week in April with a bank balance of $2,000 and a large increase in its membership. Mrs. Annie Harkess was installed as president of the auxiliary for the fourth consecutive year. Patriotic Washington Congregation. The pastor, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, and congregation of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, Washington, have offered the use of the church edifice for the recruiting of soldiers. The resolution adopted granting the use of the building urged all colored men eligible to enlist to fight in the war against Germany. The GAZETTE One Year.....$1.50. Six Months.....1.00.

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgement, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of frightened cold, but the senses of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. As a special favor, The Gazette asks its readers to patronize its advertisers as far as they are able to do so and to please mention it in writing or talking to them. The U. S. Supreme Court long ago decided that lynching was a matter for the several states to handle and that Congress is powerless to legislate against the evil. Some of our contemporaries are GIVING advertising space to firms that furnish them cartoons. These firms get the CASH for the advertisements our contemporaries run for them. Don't be so "EASY", confections! The rioting, at East St. Louis, Ill., the past week was undoubtedly promoted by southern sympathizers for the purpose of making that sort of thing as general as possible throughout the North with a view to discouraging the exodus of our people from the South to this section of the country. The effort will not succeed, however. If the twelve million Negroes in this country had the ballot and knew how to use it, they would find that the bar between them and their manhood and citizenship rights would immediately give away, and they would have fair opportunity to break down all the other bars against them. N. Y. Age. Yes, and if any considerable number of those who have the ballot, and know how to use it, would only do so at the proper time it would be infinitely better for those of our people in very many communities here in this northland. Our socalled leaders and entirely too many of the others of our people show too little manhood and regard for their citizen rights and privileges. This is the condition that must be changed ere any substantial progress along these lines is to be made. At the N. A. A. C. P. meeting at Cory M. E. church, last week Thursday evening, it was said that of the thousands of southern Afro-Americans who have come to the city within the last year, great numbers were unable to find homes. The result is seen in the exploitation of hundreds of families by landlords who, it is said, have taken advantage of the situation to increase rents enormously. Just what The Gazette has maintained for weeks! At this meeting it was said our organizations may have the help of well known philanthropists of Cleveland in building homes to accommodate the hundreds pouring into Cleveland from the south. Therefore, it is up to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to so organize its committees on housing, etc., as to be able to enter actively and satisfactorily upon the work, something it should have done many months ago, certainly immediately after Dr. Wm. A. Bird of Rochester, N. Y., had so eloquently outlined a course of action, in his address to it at Antioch Baptist church, many weeks ago. An article published in a local daily paper, last week, headed "INFLUX OF NEGROES HITS CITY," claiming that 10,000 "have come to Cleveland from the South in the past year," appears to be an attack in the interest of the prejudiced South which is doing a good deal of whining these days because of the loss of so much of its valuable cheap labor. As a matter of fact not more than five thousand (men, women and children) have located here in the time mentioned. The fact that the secretary of the National Metal Trades association, Cleveland's health officer and the state board of health, democrats, and others doubtless of the same political faith, combined to produce the "seare" article in question makes it appear as a political effort pure and simple. The state board of health has gone so far as to issue a statement warning the people of the "danger of the spread of smallpox, hookworm and other dises prevalent in the South, as a result of the Negro infux." Terrible isn't it? THE ESPIONAGE BILL The American people have never known what it means to have a restricted press. Consequently they may not be awake to the evil that will follow should there be an undue limitation of the freedom of the press. Thomas Jefferson went so far as to say that he had rather live in a country with a free press and no government than to live in a country with a government and no free press. This is probably an extreme statement of the case, but a country which loses the freedom of its press is destined to find its own freedom rapidly passing away. Nor has the press of the country conducted itself in a way to call for drastic censorship. The Republican congressman who made the great fight for the administration army bill, and whose words will be listened to with respect, makes this point in his speech on the espionage bill when he said that the so-called censorship feature of the bill "appears to be predicated upon the theory that the American press is to be treated as if it were an enemy of the country, that it is open to the suspicion of disloyalty and contemplates acts of treason against the welfare of it. It seems to me that it is a very dangerous foundation upon which to build any legislative authority such as this measure designs to place in the hands of the executive and, the officials of this government. * * It is entirely inconceivable that the President, who has frequently advocated 'pitless publicity' in the discussion of government affairs, who not very long ago most ardently declared that the government should be restored to the control of the people; who on more than one occasion has proclaimed 'the open door policy' in the administration of the affairs of New Jersey and of the Federal government; who has proclaimed himself and his administration the servants and not the masters of the people—it is decidedly unthinkable that he should have any sympathy with or give his support to the promotion of a legislative understanding designed to accomplish results diametrically the opposite." The members of Congress who are battling for the rights of the press of the country, guaranteed it expressly by the national constitution, are not doing so in any spirit of antagonism to any one. More than one great statesman has held that the eternal liberties of the American people are guaranteed and only guaranteed by the first amendment to the constitution which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of the press." THINGS MUST CHANGE The tragedy enacted at Memphis, Tenn., recently shows the results of many years' reign of unbridled passion and brutality on the part of South white nites. No one would justify rape. A rapist deserves the extreme punishment of the law but not the atrocious butchery of a mob. The only thing that differentiates civilized people from savages is the reign of law. It takes a people highly civilized and possessed of self-control to abide by the orderly procedure of law. This virtue is woefully lacking in the south. The nearly ten thousand people witnessing that blackest crime are very little removed from savagery. Pity the young boys and girls who shouted and sang while the poon wretch died, writhing in pain. We are now very much concerned about the colored people who must remain there. Colored men and women should immediately arrange their affairs and depart from every portion of the south, where such as occurred at Memphis is condoned. The time has come when southern barbarians, now in the possession of the government of the south, be left to themselves. A peaceful and decent people should not and cannot live among them. The fields in the south should be left to white southerners to cultivate. Every house in which a colored girl works for whites should be emptied at once. Every forcased nurse should immediately forsake her charge and even through suffering seek other climes where life is secure and humanity has a show. The northern christians maintaining missions for colored people in the south should establish missions for southern whites who need them more than the Fiji islanders. Power has crazed the south and many of brutally have seared their consciences till every instinct of justice has flown. The Wilson administration has emboldened the south to run riot in its lawlessness. So long as the democratic party is in power and southern sectionalists rule, the life of colored people in the south will not be considered worth a penny. The sure weapon is to take the colored people out of the south. No attention should be paid to white or black persons asking colored people to remain. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. JUNE 2. 1917 If they remain the only thing they can expect is torture and death. The colored chauffeur that tore up the American flag is not disloyal to that flag but is disgusted at the protection that flag gives him or a colored man accused of a crime. Millions of colored men who will fight for this nation till the last drop of blood flows from their wounds, think like this chauffeur. In the south, the flag is not supreme, it is the fendish brutality of the red necks and dastardly cowards, "white trash." The time to temperize with this class of America's worst enemies has passed. This nation cannot escape beating the brunt of the shame of such a disregard of law and the rights of humanity while it is "fighting for humanity." The civilized world is not deceived. Hypocritical pretenses deceive no one. The almost universal opposition to the present war is due to the fait that the nation has such indifference manifested itself when the country was in peril. The powers that have the government don't seem to be able to get the confidence of the people. By asking for patriotism. The spirit, that made the administration refuse the offers of an ex-President and hosts of true Americans of all races, is the cause of the indifference. The permission of such butcheries, as happened in Memphis and Abbeville, S. C., to go unpunished and unreubucked by federal and administration authorities, has shaken the confidence of many Americans. The downfall of this nation if it comes will be due to southern wickedness, incompetence and savage lawlessness. As a nation sows so shall it reap. In the name of humanity we demand a cessation of southern atrocities. We demand a restoration of the franchise to every colored man upon the same terms as whites have it. We demand fair and impartial trials before queries that will not forsweaken themselves knowing that they have no intention of doing justice to colored litigants. We demand that every barrier that stands in the way of the colored race enjoying all of the rights of American citizenship be removed. These things we must have and will have. (REV.) W.M. A. BYRD. ANOTHER TRAINING CAMP. For Afro-American Army-Officers To Be Established Soon. Washington, D. C.—Another training camp for Afro-American officers will be established at Fort Des-Molines, Iowa, where 1,200 candidates for commissions in our regiments of the new army will be trained. The other camp is here on the grounds of Howard University. A draft of 250 men will be taken from our four regiments of the New Army from the non-commissioned officers and privates who have shown qualifications fitting them for command and assigned to the new camp. The remainder will come from our regiments of the national guard and from graduates of our various educational institutions. Our new regiments will be made up from the 25,000 to be conscripted under the new draft law. In "turning down" the Spingarn-Douis "im jim crow" military training camp of the New Army D. Baker said he would decide upon the plan least objectionable to our people and that is what he has done. THAT MEMPHIS LYNCHING! A Mass Meeting Protest—Dr. W. A. Byrd's Great Speech—Urged to Leave the South. Rochester, N. Y.—At Trinity Presbyterian Church, in Chinon Ave., a meeting was held Sunday evening, to protest against the treatment of the Negroes in the South. Rev. William A. Byrd, the pastor of the church, expressed the sentiment of the meeting in the following statement: "We desire to protest against the continued violation of the rights of the colored people, and, also the denial of the franchise, which has been taken from them in eleven of the Southern states, thereby depriving them of every means of offense and defense. We desire to protest against the silence on the part of the Federal government with respect to the lynchings of colored people and appeal to Congress to make lynching a Federal crime. "We deplore the denial of the rights of colored people before the courts in this land, and protest against the action of the nation in giving the governments of the South exclusively into the hands of one race, to the detriment of another. "In conclusion, we appeal to the President of the United States to request the South not to add to the burden already heavy upon him by committing deeds that will militate against the government of the United States at home and abroad." Editor Gazette; Dear Sir:—The greatest speech ever delivered in Rochester, or any other city, was delivered by Dr. Wm. A. Bryd before an audience of both races in his church. Sunday morning, the country should hear his speech. It should be published and sent throughout the world. Never did any speaker have the sympathy of his audience as did this greatest orators and most powerful thinker. The Memphis lynching called forth the speech. He is the man who said that this nation had better heed him. "A White Woman." "THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND" That Hundreds of Our People Are Leaving These Days to Come North, Special to The Gazette. special.

The conductors are clothed with police powers, and woe be to the unfortunate Colored person, who happens to offend one of them. In public office buildings, only on certain elevators are our people permitted to ride. I noticed, however, that "white" people ride in those elevators along with our passengers, although no Colored person is allowed to ride in the elevator set apart exteriors for "white" passengers. Even in the courtyard rooms, "for Colored men and rooms "for Colored women." Exclusive tolets for Colored and even "ice water for water" and "ice water for white" are among the signs seen there.

Schools for our children only chance our boys and girls have for anything like secondary education. In the terminal station, or union station, no Colored person, unless accompanied by a white person, is allowed to enter the front or main entrance. There is a "side entrance" for our people and they must go in and out there.

Takes Nuxated Iron WHAT SENATOR MASON SAYS: I have often been the recipient of any kind. I believe that the doctor's place. However after the hardest part, I have a chance for a vacation. I had been starting to court every morning with my friend, I was advised to try Nuxatoid Iron. As a pioneer in the food and drug legislation, I was at great risk but after advising with one of my medical friends, I gave it a test. The results have been positive. I am now mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire. I feel that a remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of the muscles should be known to every nervous, run-down, anemic man, woman and child." Nuxatoid Mason's statement in regard to Nuxatoid Iron was shown to several physicians who were requested to give their opinion. Janet Lange late of the Manhattan State Hospital of N. Y., and formerly assistant physician Brooklyn "Senator Mason is to be commended on handing out a public presentation on the importance of organic iron—Nuxatized iron is not nothing like organic iron—Nuxatized vigor, and staying power. It enriches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks of women, enhances vitality, endurance and power for men who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy, and increases great business competition of the day." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has worked in great European medical institutions, said: Senator Mason was a man who old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. He was a man over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. "Not long ago a man came to my house and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. The blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man was, notwithstanding his age. The secret he said, was taken with him renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health and nearly all in. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxatized Iron, a miracle of health, he beaming with the bovinancy of youth.

Muny Judge Cull began an investigation, Monday, to learn why two women of the race, sentenced to the workhouse, late last Friday, were paroled before noon Saturday without a warrant. Boyd, a saloon keeper, and a Republican Warid Ward II, signed their bonds. Afterney R. R. Checks represented the women in court and took their parole papers to the workhouse. Cull said Checks and Boyd asked him to suspend the sentence, that that he refused because it might interfere with his work. Checks said he was in which the women were arrested. Prosecutor Stanton said he recommended the paroles because he didn't believe the women "deserved such severe sentence." The sentence in each case was 30 days and a fine of $1,000 charged with being suspicious persons. The two gave these names: Rose Young and Elizabeth Smith. When anyone sighs unconsciously it means they have been taking short breaths and not drawing sufficient oxygen into the lungs. Finally, the lungs must have more oxygen, they are hungry for it, and so the lungs exert their right and actually force you to take in a great breath of air. This gives them the needed oxygen, and they can go on with their work for a while longer, when they will force another "sigh," which is in reality helping themselves to more oxygen in spite of yourself.

Asserts America Does Not Believe in Selfish and Separate Liberty. Washington, D. C. — America is fighting this war because she does not believe in a "selfish and separate liberty" for herself. This is the way President Wilson interpreted the spirit of America in his Memorial day address at Arlington national cemetery. The president spoke less than 10 minutes. In one striking paragraph the head of the nation summarized the war spirit of this nation, different from that of any other nation that ever engaged in war. World Struggle. World Struggle. "When you reflect upon it, these men who died to preserve the union, died to preserve the instrument which we are now using to serve the world—a free nation espousing the cause of human liberty. In one sense the great struggle into which we have now entered is an American struggle, because it is the defense of American honor and American rgih's, but it is something even greater than that, it is a world struggle. It is the struggle of men who love liberty everywhere, and this cause will show herself greater than ever because she will rise to a greater thing. We have said in the beginning that we planted this great government that men who wished freedom might have a place of refuge and a place where their hope could be realized, and now, having established such a government, having vindicated the powers of such a government, we are saying to all mankind, we did not set this government up in order that we might have a selfish and separate liberty, for we are now ready to come to your assistance and fight upon the fields of the world the cause of human liberty. 'In this thing America attains her full frustration of her great purpose.' WOMAN IS FREED OF MURDER ACCUSATION Wooster, Ohio.—Mrs. Belva Eshelman did not plot with Glenn Landis to kill her husband, Charles Eshelman. After deliberating more than six hours the jury in her case so decided. Mrs. Eshelman broke down when she heard the verdict that meant freedom for her. With the freeing of Mrs. Eshelman the Eshelman murder case comes to a close. Landis, charged with first degree murder in connection with the case, was found guilty several weeks ago, but the jury recommended clemency and he will serve a life term in the penitentiary. SEVEN DIE, 22 INJURED TOWN ALMOST RAZED St. Louis, Mo.—Seven persons were killed and 22 or more injured in a tornado which almost demolished the mining town of Mineral Point, Mo., according to advices from De Soto, 15 miles away, where sticks and other debris from the shattered buildings at Mineral Point were showered in the streets. A relief train was sent from De Soto and returned with 22 injured, who were placed in an emergency hospital at the Y. M. C. A. Three of the badly injured died on the relief train enroute. An Iron Mountain passenger train had just reached the depot at Mineral Point when the storm broke there. Hundreds of passengers ran from the coaches and took refuge in the station building, which was promptly demolished, while several coaches of the train were torn from the rails and overturned. The engine, however, remained upright on the track. Many of those who had taken refuge in the depot were seriously injured. Practically every building in Mineral Point, which has 300 population, was wrecked with the exception of the school house. A new tiff mill was wrecked. Recruiting Warship Launched. New York City. - Amid thunderous applause and a sea of waving flags, the U. S. S. Recruit, the recruiting battleship constructed by popular subscription, was launched in Union Square. Mrs. John Purry Mitchell, wife of the mayor, christened the boat, using a bottle of champagne in naming it. Mayor Mitchell presented the land battleship to the navy. It was accepted by Rear Admiral Usher. The ship has spacious quarters with many conveniences for both the recruiting officers and the applicants. Non-Rigid Dirigibles Fly Far. Non-Rigid Dirigibles Fly Far. Washington, D. C. — The first of the 16 American "blimps"—non-rigid dirigibles—being built for the navy department has made a successful flight of more than 400 miles, Secretary Daniels has just announced. The experimental flight was from Chicago to Akron, O., and no attempt was made to attain high speed. The contract for the new "blimps," which are the same type as the non-rigid dirigibles being used by England with much success, required that they shall have a speed of 40 miles an hour. FOR GARDEN WORK KNITTING BAG GOOD PRESENT LATEST MILITARY HAT See the girl with the hoe! It is quite a simple matter to pin a little flag to the lapel of one's coat or to the front of one's frock, and be able to feel assured that it will stay where it is put. But when one dons overall and a mildy for garden work a flag that is merely planned on or stuck into F. W. H. Patriotic Middy and Overalls. one's belt becomes quite out of the question. Hence the middy with small flags embroidered in red, white and blue decorating it here and there, and narrow red, white and blue striped ribbon lacing the garment at the neck. A middy blouse made of white linen, poplin or other sturdy fabric might very well be accompanied by overalls of blue denim, and a serviceable garden suit result, according to the Washington Star. Indeed, women are donning overalls May Be of Size to Hold Socks and Small Needles or Bigger to Accommodate Pieces of Work. At the present time bags for holding knitting are very acceptable presents, and the one shown is a very practical and handy shape. It may be carried out in a size to hold socks and small steel knitting needles, or in a larger size for thick woolen scarfs or any large piece of work. The shaped outside is in cloth or something firm, both sides are alike and are joined by the handle, all being cut out together. If cloth is used the edge could be cut evenly and left; but anything that will fray must have the edges turned in before the lining is put in; this should be of silk or satin. The edges must be stitched together or fixed by working a line of French knots close to the edge. Fold the two sides together and slip-stitch together at the edges, nearly up to the top. A bag of silk is next made, that will fit inside, it is drawn by ribbon run in a slide about one and one-half to two inches from the top. It must Knitting Knitting Bag. be fixed securely by slip-stitching to outside, taking care that the stitches do not show. Wool Embroidery on Slippers. Wool embroideries are now being used to decorate satin evening slippers and one or two pairs of black satin showed embroideries of various colors on the vamps. The vogue for lace in motifs is popular applied to slippers. FOR SERVING OUT OF DOORS Neat Embroidered Sets Will Keep Dust Out of Sandwiches and Ants Out of the Cream. It is the common experience of many hostesses to find serving tea or light refreshments on lawn or veranda a dusty and nerve-racking affair. Ants will drop into the cream and spiders into the sugar and dust into the nicest sandwiches. To do away with these drawbacks to a cheerful tea hour, the neatest sets come upon which the embroiderer may expend her skill. There is a traycloth made of white linen to fit to the top of the tea wagon or serving tray. Its edge is neatly blanket-sitched in black, and on each end to prove its mission is a small tea wagon worked out in colored cross-stitch. A folding cover to resemble the hot toast or roll cover comes to match to cover the dish of sandwiches or small cakes. Then there are half a dozen tea napkins, and, best of all, a cover for the cream pitcher and one for the sugar shaped like Maltese crosses and showing on each corner THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917 for housework as well as work in the garden, and finding these garments not only comfortable but becoming. The war first served to bring trousers for women into serious consideration, for certainly a hampering skirt is not the right sort of a garment for a woman who is to do the work of men. American manufacturers were not slow to offer overalls, bloomers, etc., to American women, and these women were not slow to accept them, even with war apparently remotely removed from American participation. Now that America has become an active participant in the world struggle, the comfortable and sensible garment bids fair to have even a stronger vogue. LIGHT HANGINGS FOR SUMMER Heavy Velour Draperies May Well Be Replaced With Those of Denim or Linen Taffetas. In the summer heavy velour draperies may well be replaced with those of denim or the linen taffetas or the various art fabrics which are offered for the purpose. For the upholstered chairs the linen slips are a summer necessity. They keep the materials they cover fresh, and they add immeasurably to the appearance of a room. Before they are put on the furniture all the dust should be removed from the upholstery, spots carefully taken out with French chalk or some of the reliable cleaning fluids and the tuttings stuffed with tissue paper. Heavy paints in gilt frames may be covered with the fine netting which comes for the purpose, unless they are removed for the time being and their places filled by less ornate pictures, such as French prints or framed photographs or simple water colors. If possible, consign all heavy a:d objects to the storage unit that mysterious places known as a:d units. An Attractive Frock A coral and white pin striped Georgette frock for a debutante has a 12-inch hem of the material. The stripes running around. All the rest of the frock has vertical stripes, except a jumper in sleeveless effect, slipped over the bodice. This jumper is cut in a long oval to show a chemisette of white batiste, and collar and cuffs are also of the batiste. Oddly enough, yet happily enough, it seems the sash of this frock is of nattier blue velvet ribbon. J Fair to the eye is this cowgirl, aided and abetted by this bonnet of light pearl soft felt, trimmed with narrow band of grosgrain ribbon. It is pinned up with the regulation artillery insignia. The patent leather shin strap extending over the crown gives it the military appearance. DARING DESIGNS ARE RULE Delicate Shades and Dalinity Patterns Have Vanished From Sports Costumes of Today. Dellicate shades and dalinity patterns have vanished from sports costumes. It's a splash of brilliant color today and the most daring of designs. Gone are the sprays of rosebuds and sprigs of forget-me-nots; instead we have big dots, wide stripes, bold checks and curious Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian symbols. Shantung, so fashionable, is striped in the loudest colors or shows a big embroidered dot. There are cottons with a crepe weave, and cottons and tussahs combined, splashed with dots in colors that fairly dazzle the unprotected eye. Circles both on cottons and silks are favored. Net guipmets trimmed with white or gandle or embroidered in colored beads are conspicuous. Chemlsettes and gulpmets of white or deep cream net with wide waistcourt belt of white gandle are also good. Waistcoat effects in general are well liked. a glass bead to weight the cover suf- ficiently against saucy breezes. The same idea could be worked out with flet inserts in the corners of each piece and a tiny pictor or small edge to finish off the hems. Emergency Basket. In view of the possibility of occasional accidents in households, it is very convenient for mothers to have a small emergency basket containing articles likely to be useful at such times. The contents of such a basket should consist of some lint, cotton wool, old linen, a few prepared bandages, varying in width from one-half to three inches, a roll of adhesive plaster, some safety pins, ordinary needles and thread, one or two surgical needles and silk thread, some oiled silk, a pair of scissors, a nurse's dressing forceps, a bottle of carbolized olive oil of the strength of one part of carbolic acid to eighty of oil, a bottle of vaseline and a bottle of tincture of iodine. In Norway books are said to be most favored as gifts. HAT AND NECKWEAR These Two Items of Apparel Should Be in Harmony. Fact That They Should Be on Good Terms With Each Other Is Not Always Recognized. It is not a generally recognized fact that neckwear and hats ought to be on very good terms with each other. There is nothing that so affects the appearance of a hat as the collar it is worn over. Maybe that is why the new hat, which you liked so well the day you bought it, does not satisfy you now; maybe it is the collar which you wear with it. The collar should follow more or less the outline of the hat, that is, a neat tailored stock like the one shown with the buttons should not look so well with the flaring sailor with the tassel trimming. This sailor tops a double collar effect, which is stunning, indeed. The tabs of the flare collar coming down through slits in the cape collar and ending in rather long ends take away from it the awkward look which a round collar is apt to give. This is a splendid model for organdle. The tassel trimming on this sailor is a simple and very stunning trimming for a sports hat of this type, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. A medium-sized turned-up hat, with indications of the tricorne about it, uses an anchor of silver braid to embellish the caught-up left side. These patriotic emblems promise unusual vogue in the millinery world. The collar and cuff set used with this set suggests a soft sports silk or wash satin. The ball-weighted ends hold themselves in place through the clots in collar and cuffs, though snap fasteners might prove a helpful addition here. Trig, indeed, is the stock and cuff set under the snug-fitting turban. Pique is the material of which these are made, and their tailored trimness B. J. Baldwin Trio of Smart Combinations. more fitting for the sports bb use of handkerchief linen. The black cravat of more ribbon, and cuff ribbons of the same, give that finishing touch of black so effective in combination with plain white neckwear. Scotch Plaids. It is rumored that one of the great designers in Paris is making an exhaustive study of the plaids worn for centuries by the Scottish clans, and that he will incorporate these in a large output of new materials. If so, there is no doubt that women will come back to the fashions which the French tried to exploit during the first year of the war, and which only a few women took up—the short, plaited Scottish skirt with the velvet jacket, copied exactly from those worn by the Scottish regiments now in France. The dark colors will be taken up instead of the light ones, it is said, and in this way women who are doubtful about plaids may be able to adopt the fashion. Blouse and Bloomers in One One of the new ideas for summer shown by a Paris house consists of a blouse and a pair of bloomers made in one. It is believed that the narrowing skirts will displace petticoats in favor of bloomers. The blouse part of the new garment is made according to the latest fashion, often with a pepulm, the material being fine crepe. The advantage of the combination blouse with bloomers would be to prevent the blouse from slipping up without being pinched. GINGHAM COSTS LIKE SILK When Gowns Are Made by High-Priced Artists, the Material Is the Least Consideration. So many of the newest frocks are built of gingham or elaborately trimmed with that modest material that women are naturally a little shocked when they find that prices are not proportionately reduced. But one has only to remember that most of these frocks are designed by highly paid artists who combine materials not because they are expensive or the reverse, but because a certain fabric suits their mood and harmonizes in color or texture or effect with some other material. The actual amount of material that goes to make any of the fashionable clothes is not large, except in the case of the cloaks or coat capes now being worn by everybody. Whether a yard or so of checked gingham or the same amount of taffeta or crepe de chine is chosen of much less account in the final cost of the frock than the amount of hand work which goes to its comple- SUPERIOR DRESSWEAR & DRESSMORE No one looks to military styles to find prettiness. But here is a military cap that is as attractive as can be. It bespeaks the material spirit of the day. It is made of French blue broadcloth and is smartly trimmed with black velvet and silver braid and buttons. The hat too, is a remarkable one. It suggests both a shake and a helmet and the "spikes" embroidered on it rather emphasize the latter. The pom-pom and the tiny American flags in front give the hat the patriotic touch of the times. CAPES FOR EVERY OCCASION Models of All Kinds Which Are Being Turned Out by Designers Promise to Have Definite Vogue. Short coats are once more subject for experiment and capes promise to have a definite vogue. Already there are attractive capes of many kinds on view, and word comes from Paris of more and more cape models, short, long, frivolous, severe, capes for sports wear, for morning wear, for afternoon wear, for evening wear. One shop is showing delightful, full, enveloping capes of charmeuse, brocade on one side, plain on the other and reversible. A frock of dark blue and beige block cheek silk has a very clever short cape of dark blue cloth collared and lined with the silk. Another short dark blue cape is of gaberline and has a good-looking high collar of biscuit cloth. Long, circular capes of sports materials are many, blue burella model lined throughout with fine white serge, being a case in point, and thinner materials such as jersey are made into full, long capes shirred to yokes. The collar is often the distinguished feature of an otherwise very simple cape, and designers are exhausting their ingenuity upon this detail as they have upon the collar for the topcoat. One designer sends out a sports cape of white serge with girdles and yoke of blue and white block check and another provides a full cape of violet dersa lined with gray and hugely collared in gray jersey in most original fashion. The Distinctive Touch. It is not so much a question of what color predominates in your dining room, for there is some shade or tone of almost every color which is possible for almost any room, but unless you have a quiet background in your walls, and hangings of medium color value, so that you are free to use different contrasting colors in your minor accessories, you will find yourself committed to one fixed and narrow color scheme the year round, and, as flowers are as necessary on the well-furnished table as salt or soup, this may prove monotonous and expensive when your chosen decoration is out of season. In all these little touches, as well as in the larger ways, is that subtle thing which we call distinction given to a room—Ladies' Home Journal.

This last always brings up the price of clothes and much more than fabric tends to make the prices of even cotton dresses more than they have been in other seasons, although it is a matter of constant surprise to women who frequent the shops that so many of the less expensive models actually have a little hand work upon them; just enough to keep them in touch with the mode.

One of the prettiest fashions of the season is whole dresses, blouses and separate skirts made of the same material as the parasol. WOMEN TURN TO ONE=PIECE GOWN FINALLY ADOPT FRENCH IDEA Americans, After Years of Opposition Decide That Feminine as Well as Masculine Shirtsleaves Should Be Hidden. New York.—There is no doubt that the increasing popularity of woolen jersey has solved several problems of importance for many women. It has been difficult to find a suitable compromise between serge and muslin for warm weather. When that weave known as jersey made its appearance in sweaters, it was greeted with enthusiasm, for there were undoubted disadvantages in the knitted garment on hot days, and there has come about such a rooted aversion to the marked waltshire, or, rather, the admission of it by leaving it uncovered, that every woman, slim or stout, desires a sack of some kind to drop from shoulders to hips. In Jersey one-piece frocks they find the right substitute for the skirt and separate blouse. The French have always been the strongest opponents of that keenly drawn division of the skirt from the bodice, and even after they adopted the Anglo-Saxon cont and skirt made of mannish suitings, severely built, they did not remove the jacket in the house. In those days we were in the habit of laughing at them and showing at all times a rather contemptuous attitude toward their abuse, as we said, FASHION This frock of gray jersey has organide ruffles at neck and wrists. Pockets are braided with gray silk. The buttons are silver and the belt of blue suede. of the type of apparel we had made famous. When Americans in Paris went about on hot days without a coat, wearing a dark skirt and white lingerie blouse, the little midnettes at the noon hour were wont to turn and laugh in that provocative manner in which the French women are adept. We thought they were ignorant of the proper way to treat a coat suit. We hated to hear that laugh of derision intended for "women who turned out on the streets in their shirtsleeves, which even the French workman did not do," as they put it, but we acted in a like contemptuous manner, and each side thought it had drawn blood, as it were. When Americans turned into the tea places where there was dancing after five o'clock and found women dancing with their jackets on, we wondered how they stood the discomfort of it, and we immediately took off our coats to show elaborately embroidered chiffon blouses which we thought very suitable indeed. Evidently the Parisienne did not think so, from the uplifted eyebrows that greeted the costume. But America is usually toplofty at first and imitative in the end. The several seasons of amused derision on the part of the French for the woman in shirtsleeves finally began to have its effect and sensitive souls began to keep on their coats in public places. Covering the Shirt Sleeves. Then the Americans, went over wholeheartedly to the French idea that a woman, as well as a man, must hide her white shirt sleeves. It was founded, you see, on the right artistic idea as well as on good taste. The control- Embroidering Such an Article of Apparel May Seem Rediculous, but It Is Worth Effort. Did it ever occur to you to embroider a work apron? While this may sound ridiculous at first, the finished result is pretty enough to warrant investigation into the subject. You see, the apron is a cover-all affair of white cotton ribbed matrel with fine blue stripes an inch apart. The apron opens in front as far as the waist line, and is closed by means of pairs of pearl buttons sewn on with blue satin cotton and loops of the cotton crocheted in plain chainstitch. Across the front of the apron on the waist are embroidered sprays of flowers, all in blue, most of the sprays outlined, but a few of the petals being filled in with satin stitches. The apron is cut with kimono sleeves and its fullness held in with a belt. Along the edge of belt and sleeves a fancy buttonholing has been employed, being done with the blue cotton. After ling reason behind the French attitude was the one that rules whatever the French do in dress; which is to make the best of the human figure and give it as good an outline as art and nature combined can produce. Today it is exceedingly difficult to make an American woman appear in her shirt sleeves in public; in the privacy of her own home, yes; but even there she finds a one-piece frock far more artistic than a cloth skirt with a separate white blouse. It is because she has discovered, after many years, that the figure looks infinitely better and more graceful with a long line reaching from neck to hips, that she wears a sweater constantly in the house. She has begun to feel that the waistline should be obliterated at all costs. In this frame of mind she naturally turns to the gown cut in one piece, hanging in a long line. It allows her to comfort herself with the thought that, even if her waist is too thick in front and her skirt rides, these deficiencies are covered up by the frock or coat that, charitably a trite too high in the waistband, passed them by without revealing them to the onlooker. Long Line Under the Arms. So insistent have the women become upon hiding the waist, except by the merest fraction of a supple curve, that the dressmakers are pleasing them by introducing drapery under the arms which hangs below the knees. It is transparent, this drapery, and floats about in the air as the wearer uses her arms, but it fulfills its mission of straightening out the figure in an admirable manner. It cannot be employed on an informal frock, the kind that one would wear between the hours of eight in the morning and seven in the evening, but on any type of evening frock, it is well placed. Another method that the dressmakers have of entering to the concealment of the waistline is the use of the elabar cape of tulle or lace that goes over the shoulders and extends to the tips of the fingers. The fashion for lace of any kind gives one a variety of methods of draping the body line in a lissome manner. In daytime frocks the long line is given by the use of braid, of ribbon, of plaiting and embroidery. There are also glorified suspenders of ornamentation that are attached to skirts with chiffon blouses that give the correct and desired silhouette. They do not extend over the front and back of the frock, but pass over the shoulders, reach to the hips, widening as they go under the arms, and are often loosely belted in at the waist by one or more of the draped girdles that attach themselves to every kind of gown this season. These suspenders, by the way, should prove an inspiration to the woman who wants to bring the gowns she possesses into the present picture. If she has a dark silk or cloth skirt, for example, with a thin blouse to match in color, she can easily bring the two into a composite whole by the addition of this skeletonized jacket of embroidery, or soutaching on net. Lace Is Rioting Over Clothes. The experts prophesied a revival of lace in the immediate future and the knowledge they possessed, proved exact. Lace positively riots over the new clothes. It is used for entire frocks, for long wraps, for parasols, negligees, petticoats, coats and evening frock drapery. There is surely some economical reason behind this furore for a valuable and not easily procured article of dress. It is quite evident that the French wish to make lace the high fashion in order to give employment to the thousands of needleworkers of its own country and those who have come from Belgium and who have to be supported by the French government. This strain of caring for the homeless of the neighboring country is telling on France, for, in addition to the prisoners she has taken, the number of allen mouths in which she has to put food, constitute a small nation. Therefore, to give the Belgians and the French widows work, all sorts of industries have been revived and encouraged, especially those that will have a good chance of bringing in American dollars converted into francs. In America, we are minus needleworkers of importance, so the major portion of what we must use, comes from the lacemaking centers of Europe. The fashion for it may lead to a foolish and inartistic application of cheap and tawdy laces to frocks, and a mass of it where it should be avoided, but, so far, there is no diminution of the fashion which came into its first bloom as the spring openings were held.

Nightgowns of white net over pink crepe slips have yokes trimmed with filet or val or ribbons. the buttonholling has been used to finish off these edges a crocheted edge (which can be imitated with the buttonhole needle) still further embellishes sleeves and belt. The beauty of such an apron is that it does not look like an apron. One can wear it through the morning as a work frock, or slip it on in the evening over a good dress, where it will form a protective cover-all, but not look so worklike as the over-all of gingham. And it should not take an awful long time to make. A. New Trimming. Silk mosaic might be the name of an interesting sort of trimming applied to a charming set consisting of hat, cape and muff. The three pieces were made of gray taffeta, and each was trimmed with a floral design—the flowers were suggestive of hydrangeas—in shades of lavender and pink. The design was formed with tiny squares of silk glued to the surface of the taffeta.
