Old French Weather Vance In France the original weather vans were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennons bearing their owners' heraldic devices and set upon the towers, and, like pennons, indicated the direction of danger, or a summons to victory, a fight or a fricle, a warning or a call, according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not a French, writer it was who first compared a vane to "the uncertain mind of a fantastical woman." The weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to its own duty. False-hood does not abide with it. Wherever a change in wind is important, it functions as a sentinel at the gates or as a courier spreading tidings, a silent always visible Paul Revere.

Dr. Frissell, of Hampton Institute, Virginia, unmasked himself recently and allowed the world to know his estimate of the colored race besides his attitude toward their constitutional rights. The fact that a man is a citizen of the United States is prima facie evidence that he deserves all of the privileges and rights America gives to her citizens. The distinction drawn by Dr. Frissell evidences that he does not believe a colored person should have the same rights white persons enjoy in this country. Every man should deserve his rights, and these rights can only be denied him legally when he commits some crime that debarms him. By "deserving," Dr. Frissell means colored people should seek only such things as the white people among whom he lives approve. He is to be satisfied with whatever station in life white people give him. ROT! His two examples, held up as ideals for the colored race, are two individuals trained in the school over which he now is presiding. These two men, above all others in public life, exemplify the spirit of cringing and pandering to the damnable prejudice of southern murders. One of them forsook his wife and bowed submissively to "southern traditions," thus approving her ejection from a Pullman car. The days of Booker T. Washington are over. He did what he felt was right. He was a true discipline of the cowardly, cringing doctrine taught him at Hampton. He preached this doctrine until his eyes were opened, and at his death he was among the real champions of "demanding rights" and not truckling for them. Booker Washington threw off the tiny shell of Hampton and dared defy the hatred of the south. He saw the light and he said to the world that his race deserved the rights any other races deserved. His successor has just begun. If he, however, follows in the footsteps of his teacher, Dr. Frissell, he is doomed to scorn and contempt on the part of his race who will not be satisfied with anything less than the equal rights in all things America gives her citizens. Dr. Frissell would do the race a favor by immediately resigning. He is not the man to rear up colored men who shall be American citizens. The trustees of Hampton will do well to insist upon his resigning. His retraction will not suffice. Dr. Frissell, like most northern white men going south to teach colored people, out-Herods Herod in ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. snobbishness and advocating the acquiescing of colored men in whatever wrongs that may be done them. No man is fit to teach colored people who will train the youth that there are inferior to any race. No one should be allowed to teach colored youths that teach them to be satisfied with anything less than a white boy in his station would accept. Hampton should be boycotted if Frissell does not resign. In this crucial hour, when democracy is seeking to rule the world, why should any race bow its head in submission to another and accept anything that race-prejudice imposes upon it? It is time Dr. Frissell should know that the American Negro is not any more particular about having the good wishes of white people than white people are about having the Negro's. The colored race will not go one step out of its way, by cringling and grinning, to have any man call it good. The southern policy of Negro-hating and treating them as they please is now at an end. If Hampton and Tuskegee are being fostered to keep alive that spirit of slavery, the quicker they are razed to the ground the better for all concerned. Clearly Dr. Frissell has lost his usefulness and should retire. Some sane, manly colored man should take his place. Some man that has respect for himself and his race, and will not destroy their manhood for self, gain and approvals of cowardly white men. RURAL LIFE IN OLD DOMINION Virginia Farmers Realize Big Increase In Crops. USE OF IMPROVED METHODS Report of John B. Pierce Shows Results Obtained Through the Co-operation of Farm Demonstration Agents Under the States Relation Service. Great Interest Taken in Corn Clubs. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Some 5,000 farmers of Virginia, under the leadership of John B. Pierce, who is a Tuskegee-Hampton product, were influenced in the single calendar year of 1916 to improve their methods of work and secure crop yields far beyond the expectations of the most hopeful advocates of the farm demonstration idea.

"BROWNSTONE MANSIONS" Would Have Been Their Homes, Too If That Was True So Sys- ternically Rebell Montgomery, Ala.—Speaking of the causes of the wholesale exodus of our people from this section of the country to the North, the Hon. W. T. Robertson, mayor of this city, said recently, and it was published: "The money in farming, lots of it, but the Negro farmer has been systematically robbed by the white man since the close of the Civil War. They haven't been treated right and no one can blame them for quitting the soil. If the Negro farmers would be returned all the interest in excess of $ per cent charged them for money advanced them, they would today be living in brownstone mansions, just as the rich white advances do. How deep the mann treated is by an instance which happened last week. An old Negro came to me and asked me if I could 'advance' him this year. I asked him if he had a 'falling out' with his white folks. He replied that the white folks, who had been making money off him for twenty-five years, had decided to re-enter the land and feared he was growing old and perhaps would die before another crop was made." DOINGS OF THE RACE When Atty. R. E. Westbrooks of Chicago registered, under the new law he claimed exemption because of "race discrimination in all departments of the army and navy." Fred Fulton and Sam Langford will box twelve rounds at Boston, Jane 19. Self and race-respecting Afro-Americans would not have joined Col. Theo. "Brownsville" Roosevelt's "two Negro regiments."

RURAL LIFE IN OLD DOMINION USE OF IMPROVED METHODS Report of John B. Pierce Shows Results Obtained Through the Co-operation of Farm Demonstration Agents Under the States Relation Service. Great Interest Taken In Corn Clubs. BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Some 5,000 farmers of Virginia, under the leadership of John B. Pierce, who is a Tuskegee-Hampton product, were influenced in the single calendar year of 1916 to improve their methods of work and secure crop yields far beyond the expectations of the most hopeful advocates of the farm demonstration idea. Eighteen local farm demonstration agents working in twenty-two counties of Virginia under the States Relations Service South—the fruition itself of the epoch making work of Seaman A. Knapp—have brought to the Negro farmers not only new ideas and better methods of tilling the soil and caring for farm products, but also a new vision of farm life, a clearer insight into farming as a business rather than as a mere occupation and a deeper sense of responsibility for the all around education of their boys and girls. Lets facts tell the story of organization's gift to Virginia, for whatever helps the Negro farmer to increase his earning power also helps the white people to make genuine progress. During 1916, so Mr. Pierce reports to Bradford Knapp, chief of the States Relations Service, South, 449 Negro corn demonstrators in Virginia, cultivating 2,150 acres under improved methods, secured an average yield of thirty-three bushels per acre. This was an increased yield of 9.9 bushels on demonstration plots over plots cultivated by ordinary methods. In addition, 1,001 co-operators reported a yield of twenty-four bushels per acre in 1,552 acres. Granting that a similar result could be obtained by all those who raise corn if only education could be carried on broadly, Virginia in a single year would add $10,000,000 to the value of her output of corn. Who dares to be skeptical or cynical of the Negroes' interest in better methods of farming in the light of these facts? Corresponding results have been secured in the small grains demonstrations. The average yield of oats per acre on demonstration plots was 18.9 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.7 bushels and of wheat 16.1 bushels, representing an increased yield of 5.5 bushels. Today over 1,000 Negro farmers are using better methods of growing small grains on account of the government's interest in them. Does this pay in dollars and cents, in increased interest in farming, in better homes? To ask the question is to answer it—certainly! Hay, forage, cover crops! These words commonly mean little. To the Negro farmer of Virginia they now spell success on the land. The local demonstration agents have worked night and day to make farmers understand the importance of making the land produce (without wearing it out) more food for man and beast and this story of awakening life on the farm. "Community development along all good lines!" This is the object of the 134 Negro farmers' farm which were organized in 1916 throughout Virginia through the co-operation of John B. Pierce and sixteen local demonstration agents working under the States Relations Service and the extension division of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg. The total membership of the clubs was 1,838 and represented a progressive, farsighted group of farmers in the Old Dominion. These clubs made a good beginning in co-operation by buying 2,234 tons of lime. Five of the local agents also kept a bulletin board, listing goods for sale and goods wanted. What do the local demonstration agents do besides helping the farmers till their land and grow better crops? Here is a partial list, based on Mr. Pierce's 1916 report of the farm and farmstead improvements which the farmers of Virginia have made with the advice and assistance of the agents: Buildings erected, 130; farm buildings painted or whitewashed, 552; sanitary conditions (farm and home) improved, 933; homes screened against tiles, 537; farmers furnished with plans and induced to adopt a systematic rotation, 136; total acreage put under rotation, 1,605; drainage system established, 39; home water systems installed or improved, 55; home grounds improved, 394; home gardens planted or improved, 1,198; farmers induced to save surplus farm products for winter use, 1,578. Can there be any question that the work of the local agent is limited merely to helping the farmer grow more crops so that he can secure more money to raise more crops? We think not. That increased earning power is an important and basal factor must be evident to the careful observer of rural conditions. That better living is a worthy goal for the hardworking farmer and his family is recognized by those who are engaged in carrying to the Negro farmers of Virginia a gospel of hope which is based upon intelligent work and Christian good will. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS MEET IN BOSTON JUNE 12 Annual Session of New England Convention to Be Largely Attended. Boston.—Reports received by N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. convention up to Monday, May 28, indicate that the schools in the seven states and the District of Columbia will send their full quota of delegates to the annual meeting of the convention to be held in this city June 12 and 13. The convention will be the guest of the Ebenezer Baptist Sunday school, of which Dr. T. E. McCurdy is superintendent. By the direction of the president and the board of managers, the corresponding secretary has sent the usual letter of greeting, with statistical blank and delegates' credentials, to the schools and B. Y. P. U.'s throughout the jurisdiction of the convention. It is the aim of the officers to enroll a larger number of the schools at the coming session than has been true of any previous year. Among the objects of the convention, aside from the helpful information it gives to its membership in Sunday school management, are the fostering of small schools, contributions to educational institutions, charitable institutions and missions. The progress of the smaller schools to which the convention has contributed quite liberally is very gratifying to the convention. For the benefit of the public we mention the splendid work which is being done by the Friendship and Antioch schools in Brooklyn and the Mount Carmel school at Arverne, N. Y. The convention has stood by these schools from their very inception, and they have shown their appreciation of the help received by diligent work. THE LIBERTY LOAN BONDS. Hampton Institute's Part In Great Movement For National Defense. Recently the Hampton institute faculty went on record as favoring the publication of the liberty loan terms in the Southern Workmen, its illustrated magazine. The school takes this method of co-operating with Secretary McAdoo in the big undertaking of raising enough money to carry on to a successful finish the present world struggle for democracy. To Hampton's donors, friends, workers, students, graduates and former pupils has gone the following statement from the official bulletin, which is published by the committee on public information. It is hoped that all those who can do so at this period of national crisis will co-operate actively in buying the liberty loan bonds and will also make similar plans for future service to their country: The liberty loan bonds will mature in thirty years and be redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the United States on or after fifteen years at par and accrived interest. In order to ayold adding to the heavy burden of work incident to the July 1 and Jan. 1 settlements the secretary has determined that the liberty loan bonds shall be dated June 15, 1917, instead of July 1, 1971, as heretfores announced, and that the interest shall be payable June 15 and Dec. 15 in each year. Applications must be made on or before June 15, 1917, subject to the right of the secretary in his discretion to close the subscription books at an earlier date, and payment for the bonds must be made as follows: Two per cent on application, 18 per cent on June 28, 20 per cent on July 30, 30 per cent on Aug. 15, 30 per cent on Aug. 20. Bearer bonds with interest coupons attached will be issued in denominations of $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. Bonds registered as to principal and interest will be issued in denominations of $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000 and $100,000. Provision will be made for the interchange of bonds of different denominations and of coupon and registered bonds. Those who wish to buy the liberty loan bonds will find their local banks prepared to furnish subscription blanks and render every possible form of assistance without charge. BIG BROTHERS' CONFERENCE. Urban League Continues Work to Safeguard Young Lives. At the conference of Big Brothers recently held at the headquarters of the National Urban league, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York, a resolution was adopted requesting Police Commissioner Woods and Captain William H. Ward to detail Officer Samuel J. Battle as a crime prevention officer for the Thirty-eighth precinct as soon as convenient. Arrangements were also made for Big Brother co-operation in the cases of inmate and released boys from the Colored Orphan asylum at Riverdale, N. Y. The conference designated Messrs. J. C. Dancy, Jr., chairman; Richard C. Lockett, Julius A. Watson, Paul G. Prayer and William R. Dorsey, secretary, as a committee to solicit contributions and to send C. C. Allison, Jr., secretary of the Colored Big Brothers, to the first American Big Brother and Big Sister conference, to be held in Grand Rapids, Mich., May 28 and 29. The representative of this conference is the only colored delegate in the United States in attendance at the session. The Big Brothers voted to have conferences on the evenings of the second and fourth Thursdays in each month. Edward J. Henkel of the probation department, Manhattan children's court, was the speaker at the session held Thursday, May 24. Mr. Allison made his report on the conferences of correction and charities. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SUPERVISOR OF RURAL SCHOOLS Notable Record of Professor C. L. W. Smith. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Former Principal of Graded School at Smithfield, N. C., Has Accomplished Much Good For the Colored People In Johnstone County—Lengthened Term and Raised Standard of Teaching. By GEORGE F. KING. Smithfield, N. C.—Never before in the history of Negro education in North Carolina has there been such a keen and substantial interest in educational conditions on the part of the better element of the race as is being evidenced at the present time. This interest is especially noticeable in the rural districts. Johnstone county, of which this place is the county seat, several years ago did not afford the colored people such facilities as they now have. The school term has also been lengthened. During the year of 1900 Professor C. L. W. Smith, a native of this town, graduated from Shaw university, and after traveling for several years he accepted a position with his father, who is the wealthiest and most progressive Afro-American in Johnstone county. Young Smith was then persuaded to do some journalistic work and later accepted a position as bookkeeper in the navy yard at Pennacola, Fla. He was afterward transferred to the Norfolk (Va.) navy yard. In June, 1900, he resigned his government position to return to his home town to become principal of the graded school. Because of his success as principal for three years he was appointed supervisor of the colored schools of Johnstone county. With his characteristic manner of bringing things to pass he secured special appropriations for education, raised a higher standard and procured efficient teachers, who received better pay. Professor Smith made the same PROFESSOR C. L. W. SMITH. requirements for colored teachers as were for teachers of the white schools and has reduced to a minimum teachers without professional qualifications. In many places in the county the schoolhouses were inadequate, and where there were two school buildings worth $400 be consolidated the two, wherever practicable, and erected buildings worth $1,500. When Professor Smith became supervisor there was no two-teacher rural school in his county for the race. Now there are six two-teacher and two three-teacher schools and there have been built three new schools. Under his supervision the graded schools at Smithfield, Selma and Clayton have had a splendid growth along varied lines. For the past three years he has held county commencements, which have been inspiring events to the extent that the largest assemblies of Afro-Americans in the annals of the county enthusiastically support Professor Smith and his teachers and make these commencement features a source of inspiration to the race in this county. About 1,500 children from various schools participate in the parades. The exhibits are highly creditable. These events have largely increased the enrollment and attendance of the children in the county. Professor Smith saw the necessity of having an institution in his county for the training of teachers and has succeeded admirably well in making the Smithfield Training school a factor for the development of the county teachers. This institution has a boarding department for students and annually conducts a summer school. His efforts have caused a wholesome cooperation on the part of the people, the teachers and the county superintendent of education. He has created the kind of enthusiasm that is helping the Negro in the south to overcome obstacles. This is due to the fact that young men of his type are absolutely essential in work of uplift of the masses of our people. As an example of his efficiency and the confidence the educational officials have in him Professor Smith has charge of the reports and the employment of teachers in his county. All applications from teachers are referred to him, and the selection of the local school committees, composed of Afro-Americans, constitutes another phase of his work. RECORDS GIVEN A BIG OVATION At a Patriotic Meeting Held in Memorial Hall, Columbus, Early Last Month, When She Sang Her Own Composition, "They'll Be Needed" —Over 3,000 Stood and Applauded. Columbus, Ohio, June 9, '17. Editor Gesson, Hon. Sir:—In 1900 my uncle, Mr. John Nooks, (deceased), brought me to call on you in your office. I was told I was in High school, a slip of a girl, but was asked to meet Hon. Harry C. Smith, the man who DID things and was not afraid to voice his convictions. Fresh in my mind, now, is one remark that has been mine to treasure through the long years gone on before. You congratulated me on having finished High school and then looking at me intently for a moment you said: "Success in your life is the gift you if you guard always the splendid gift yours at birth—VIRTUE, priceless, the one most important asset in a woman's life." I have never forgotten and thank God I've followed that advice up to the present moment. I am a proud wife and mother, Mr. Gesson, and two little girls hear your name as the man who loved his mother next to his God and the man who does things. This unreasonable prejudice, that has gnawed at the very vitals of our race so persistently until now it looms up at every turn, from the pulpit and press, even to the cemetery where they lay at rest, prompted me at this time to write this song, I enclosed. For from the revolutionary war down the present one our "Black Boys" have to know how we want the world to know how we want the manhood and to also know that we Negro men know what a large part they've always played in helping to preserve the country of their birth. Before I got the song off the press, "Uncle Sam" called them into the army and, mark me, that same "Uncle" will be "dee-lighted" to have them _in the navy, too, before Germany is subdued. No war has ever been complete with our MEN; no war _will ever be complete without them. This copy of my song I sent to you in appreciation of what you have always meant to our race. Hon. Sir. If you just a line or two in your splendid paper boost it any, will you remember to say something? I shall be so thankful to you for it is something to have a man of your standing stamp approval upon one's efforts. Here's to you, Ohio's noblest and best; a perfect son, a loyal Negro, a clean politician, a regular MAN! Long life and a happy one for you, Mr. Smith. Very sincerely, MAUDE NOOKS HOWARD, 1613 Harvard Ave. COME TO MARION Our Good Men and Women Wanted—Prepared to Care for Them and Give Them Employment. Marion, O.—H. W.

Marion's Opportunities for the Negro. Marion represents one of the best towns in the North for the Negro. It is one of the most progressive cities of its size, with Negroes owning and controlling some of the leading businesses of their kind. There is a population of about 700 people which comprises 26 business men and 3 churches, not mentioning the mechanics, janitors and tradesmen. The Negroes from the South, coming into our city in large numbers, find all avenues of employment open to them as there are some in large hands and minds among them. Marion's doors are open to the hustling Negro of the day. We will gladly welcome you. A movement is on foot to establish a night school which will welcome all. It will be under the management of a member of the race. C. M. PRATHER, Head of Colored Welfare Association of Marion. Drier for Photographers. Chloride of calcium is sometimes used to absorb moisture and keep certain photographic products dry, such as platinum paper or carbon paper; but a photographer has discovered that cardboard of the heavy kind will act as a good drier. The card is used in rough sheets, it being well dried by heat and then wrapped in waxed paper so as to leave only the edge of the board free and thus not absorb moisture too quickly. Nursing Sickly Plants. Sickly plants, like sickly people, cannot stand extremes. Sickly pot plants may often be more quickly brought back to health by watering with very warm water only.

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. ```markdown ``` "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. ************************************************************ "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 those grow cold, but the sense of duty alone be greater 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. ************************************************ The Democratic press condemns discussion of the tariff at the present time, but the tariff commission is going right along with its work. If a tariff commission composed of low tariff advocates, none of whom has ever been engaged in manufacturing and only one of whom has been engaged in productive industry of any kind, can properly continue its work, why cannot the business men of America just as properly continue to advocate that tariff policy which has been the foundation of permanent prosperity? The "Eastland," a former Cleveland excursion boat, we hear, is to be converted into a gunboat. The Eastland, it will be remembered, is the boat that turned turtle at her berth in Chicago about two years ago and drowned several hundred people. Secretary Redfield, though making much fuss about it, was never able to accomplish anything in reference to the case, but maybe Secretary Daniels can do better with the death-ship now. One thing is certain, if the Eastland can be as fatal to the enemy in time of war as she was to our own people in time of peace, there should be no delay in getting her into commission. Mrs. Maude Nooks Howard's song, "They'll Be Needed," is really moritious—pretty and pleasing, both words and music—and just what our people want to sing, these days. Yes, "Uncle Sam" will be wanting the "Black Boys", will be needing them, sorely, too, before the war is over, much as he affects to care little for them now. Unfortunately, "Uncle Sam" is in prejudiced Southern democratic hands with the result that the "Black Boys" have been "handed" some mighty aggrating rebuffs and insults for their insistent patriotic and loyal demonstrations, to date. Write Mrs. M. N. Howard, 1613 Harvard Ave., Columbus, O., for a copy of her splendid new composition. There is some sentiment attaching to the cause which prompted our entrance into the war against Germany; but, generally speaking, it is cold reason which at length convinced the President that we should do so. We become a full partner in the enter prise. Our obligations are the same as those of the Allies in Europe. Accordingly, we shall find in their mutual relations the measure of our duties; and we may well take pattern thereby. England and France have been the bankers of the Entente. They have made large loans to Russia and to the smaller Powers with which they are allied. They have not made gifts of cash, though they have made borrowing easy. There is no reason why we should go further than England in this matter. The Allies do not ask it. --- Pale Faced Women Take Phosphates to Make Rosy Cheeks and Beautiful Forms Men Need Phosphates to Make Strong, Healthy, Vigorous Bodies.

There is one thing about the South one could admire if it were directed in a better channel and that is its pernicious activity in persisting that it was right and the North wrong in the contest best known as the war of the rebellion. Since 1861 to 1865, the South has won back all that it lost in that memorable struggle except its slaves, and last week celebrated the fact in the capital of the nation with a "national" (sectional) gathering of ex-brebels (confederate veterans) who also marched down Pennsylvania Ave. and to Arlington (the national) cemetery where "15,000 men, women and children" were addressed by President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, a southerner, and the rebel leaders, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, were extolled to the highest. This too, when the country is busy preparing for active participation in the greatest war this world has ever known. Good Lord! whither is this country drifting? It is enough to make Gens. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and our great and good friend Foraker turn over in their graves. GET A U. S. ARMY RIOT GUN! One night, last week, a white woman claimed that a colored man had insulted her on Central Ave. near E. 71st St. and immediately a crowd gathered and began to chase the man who ran into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McIntyre. E. 71st St., for refuge, remaining there until the patrol wagon arrived. It is said that by that time a mob of about two hundred persons gathered in front of the house, crying "Lynch the Negro." This reminds the editor of The Gazette of an address he delivered, several years ago at Shiloh Baptist church, this city, in which he called the attention of our people of the Central Avenue district to the growing probability of just such demonstrations in that locality and warned all to prepare for them. We called attention to the sacking of business places and residences of our people at Springfield, Ohio, at least two occasions in recent years up their wild orgies with the lynchmur of two Negroes and the injury of innocent members of the race as well as property. Your life and those of the members of your family, particularly those living in the Central Avenue vicinity, are safe no longer and to be jeopardized any moment as were those of Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, last week, but with far more serious results—if you have not proper protection in your homes. With the recent great influx, in that vicinity particularly, of bad members of the race from the South and other parts of the country the danger of such demonstrations has increased one hundred fold, making absolutely necessary for the protection of your life and property the possession in the home of a riot gun and plenty of ammunition for it. This we urged upon our audience, and thru them upon all of our people of this community, several years ago, in the address at a mass meeting held in Shiloh Baptist church and now again call attention to the absolute need of such "preparedness" on the part of our people of this community. The mob demonstration, last week, in front of the home of Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, of E. 71st St., is or ought to be sufficient warning to even the most skeptical. Purchase a U. S. regular army riot gun and plenty of ammunition, for your home and do not delay doing so. NOTICE Real estate is a serious business.

President Wilson Asked to Remove All Restrictions So That Members of the Race May Be Accepted in All Branches of the Army and Navy. New York City.—"I know of no law that precludes the Afro-American from enlisting in the marine corps or the artillery or any other branch, other than that American law laid down by militaries in the U. S. of the German stripe." This sentence is taken from a letter written by Attorney Robert Lewis Waring of this city to President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, urging, on behalf of the 12,000,000 Atlanta, Ga. Dr. F. A. Jacobson says that Phosphates are just as essential to any man or woman who tires easily, is nervous, or irritable, worn out, or looks haggard and pale to make a strong, recoiling figure. They can be used to cotton to make it grow. The lack of Phosphate is the cause of all enemic conditions and the administration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous patients. It is also very recent in two or three weeks' time in many instances, and their continued use will build up the whole nervous system, and give them the body vigor, and vitality the whole body. And the presence Argo-Phosphate to patients who are pale and colorless, and it is surprising to see how quickly a few weeks' treatment will transform a pale face to a rosy cheeked face. Phosphates are healthy, beautiful women, without their system is sufficiently supplied with Phosphates. In recent interviews with physicians on the grave and serious consequences of a deficiency of Phosphates in the blood, I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more phosphates in the form of Argo-Phosphate for weak, worn out, haggard-looking men and women. When the skin is pale, and flesh is pale, I have strongly emphasized the fact that phosphates go from the blood, the pink cheeks go too. The muscles lack tone. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. JUNE 16. 1917. Afro-Americans that he remove all restrictions that prevent them from enlisting in any branch of the military service. Mr. Waring believes that the President, as commander-in-chief of the nation's military forces, has the right, in time of war, to open all branches of that service to all American citizens. "Although it may be said," wrote Mr. Waring, "that the 24th and 25th infantry and the Ninth and Tenth cavalry are open to my people for enlistment. Afro-Americans must be militated, outraged that they must be held up to the world falsely as a race of citizens lacking courage enough to lead in battle. Bless the hand that will give me, and the thousands like me, a free hand to serve my country as other men are permitted to serve it." FINE NEW A. M. E. CHURCH The Work of Rev. O. W. Childers and His Loyal Congregation and Friends, Being Dedicated—The Program Cadiz, O.—The dedicatory exercises of St. James A. M. E. church, Rev. O. W. Childers, pastor, began June 14 and will continue until June 25. The first number on the program was a lecture, "The Ringing of the Bell's," by Dr. Chas. Bloom of Beaver, Pa. Thursday evening. On Friday evening, (June 15), a play entitled "The Ringing of the Bell's," was given by Mrs. O. W. Childers and a team of children. During the week—from June 17 to 24—Rev. John Mason, Wellsville; Rev. John T! Farley, Steubenville; Dr. R. French Hurley, Wheeling, and Rev. John Williams of Smithfield will be on the program. The dedication proper will take place, Sunday, June 24 when Bishop C. A. D. L. D., of Chicago, will be present and have a tour of the exercises. He will also lecture on the following evening, June 25. The new church is complete in every detail. It is gothic in design and built of hydraulic red pressed-brick and finished in oak. The windows are opaless art glass and the seats are of massive construction. The church is located on one of the prominent corner streets and has a advantage of all the city improvements. The cost of the church-building was about $10,000. The entire property, including the new 8 room parsonage, is valued at $15,000. The people of Cadiz and vicinity are to be congratulated on the completion of such a structure, a credit to the religious life of the community. Rev. Childers is closing the fifth year of a very successful church, the longest in the history of the church. HAROLD D. LEE Hooks Without Holes.

They become nervous, irritable, dependent, melancholy, the brain fags, and the memory falls.

Y.—Since the remarkable discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or “Per Nuxate” as the French call it has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women, and vigorous iron, men. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, when interviewed on this subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor can be the result of an inadequate iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone; the brain fags and the memory falls and often they become weak, nervous, and disoriented. The iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, biscuits, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have made iron more available to impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cooking, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave problem." "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not "Former Health Commissioner, Wm. R. Keer, of the City of Chicago, says: "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-saving, strength-building effect, and I have been able to make it my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well past three score years and want to say that I believe my own great personal experience of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel it is a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every doctor. Dr. E. Sauer, a foston physician who has studied both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is a very valuable remedy. Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as young as his father. In fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret he said, was taking iron—Nuxated Iron had been used with enwounded bone in his arm. In the case he was enwounded nearly all in. Now at 50 offer taken Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face bearing with the bigness of youth, Iron has become a change food into living tissue. Without his exceptionally fine articulation, at tack and strong voice. His result evidenceed careful study. These things undoubtedly explain his deserved popularity with local audiences. Mr John Perry's solos and the jubilee selections by the Harmony Trio (Messdams Balle, Clegg and Miss Wells) also pleased greatly. The audience was large, attentive and very enthusiastic. The pastor of Shiloh closed the exercises with deserved praise for all of the participants. Refreshments were then served in the basement of church by Club No. 14 under whose auspices the entertainment was given. Mr. Wm. McIntire was not at home the night, last week, of the outrageous affair referred to on page 2 of The Gazette, today, so he was not hurt, as rumored. The Negro chased was not guilty of "insulting" a white woman. He had been in a saloon at the corner of Quince and E. 71st St., posing as a white woman (white) in the place, suspecting that he was faking, suggested that they chase him. So the fellow ran through E. 71st St, to Central Ave. and down to E. 70th St. By that time a mob had gathered and some of them concluded that as he was colored, he must have "insulted a white woman." He ran into the yard of a colored family on E. 70th St. Just then a young man by the name of Moore came out of the house and was of course surprised to see the Befores he had the infortunate fellow some of the mob turned on him and he ran to E. 71st St. to the McIntire residence which he reached in safety. Mrs. McIntire was not at home but a lady who lives with her happened to be there. She let him in. Mrs. McIntire returned while the mob was surrounding her house and walking up on the street. Before he had the mob replied that the fellow in her home had "insulted a white woman." In the meantime the rest of the mob had beaten the supposed beggar frightfully. Mrs. McIntire ordered the crowd away and telephoned to the police. Several white men say that the fellow did not insult any one. That neighborhood is getting very rough and it is a common thing for white men to insult women, says an old resident. In cases but there was no sign of a mob." Mrs. McIntire and her friend, Mrs. Crawford, are nearly prostrated over the affair. **BABY DAYS** SYSTEM of Beauty Culture, MME ROBERTS and BEAUTY CULTURIST HAIR DRESSER and BEAUTY CULTURIST will teach you these courses in her Blue Baby DAYS.

You don't get the strength out of it and, as a consequence, you don't eat as much as you like, like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: can you walk without being tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxed oil three times per day after meals for two weeks, and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who are alting all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely recover from other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been forced for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schupler C. J. Clauses, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, NJ. Dr. Clauses has medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I would be grateful to patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those wip wish to increase their strength, power and endurance and make them workable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan state Hospital of New York, and formerly a surgeon at the pitial, said: "Nuxated Iron is a most surprising remedy. A patient of mine remarked to me (after having been on a six weeks' course of treatment) that I THERE STUFF IS LIKE MAGIC." Previous to using Nuxated Iron I had been prescribing the various mineral salts of iron for years, only to meet complaints of dislodgement and hardened secretions, etc., when I came acuse Nuxated Iron, an elegant Ingenious preparation containing organic iron, which has no effect on the stomach, and which is readily assimilated into the blood and quickly makes its presence felt in increased vigor, swamp and bloody stools. It also roses to the cheeks of women and is an unfalling source of renewed vitality, endurance and power to men who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day. NOTE: Nuxsted Iron, which is prescribed and repomended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which, is well known to drugists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by current physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxsted iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in tea days' time. It is dispensed in this city by all good drugists. U-BOATIS NOMORE Submarine Is Destroyed by American Vessel. German Craft Attempts to Torpodo Yankee Boat in Foreign Waters. New York City.—The story of how one of Germany's latest and largest submarines fell a victim to Yankee steamship was told when the big American steamship that did the trick arrived at an American port. It was on the morning of May 19 when the steamship was about 200 miles off the coast of Ireland that the look-outs caught sight of two periscope. At the same instant they perceived two torpedoes already cleaving toward the liner. The captain ordered the helm hard over, swinging the vessel out of her course. As she turned, the torpedoes missed her, or grazed her bows at a harmless angle, according to some accounts. As she made her second turn, two more torpedoes silhoueted toward her. But her erratic course had baffled the agents of frightfulness and both missed their mark. Another ship order from the captain to steersman sent the line swinging on her heel again. This time, so skillfully had she been maneuvered, her sharp bow was pointed straight at the starboard submarine. It was too late for the German to get out of the way. The American ship swept over the frail submersible with a shock felt by all on board and it was seen no more. One blade of the liner's propeller was snapped off as she sank the U-obat. WOMAN, AFTER JURY'S EDIGT, ENDS HER LIFE Steubenville, O. —"Im not guilty, God knows I'm not guilty. I'll kill myself." Screaming at the jury and the crowd that thronged the common pleas court room here, Mrs. Julia Petroskey, 25, Brilliant, O., found guilty of manflauntage, broke loose from relatives and attendance and rushing to an open window overlooking the court yard, plunged through headfirst. She alighted on the stone fagging 40 feet below. She was picked up unconscious and rushed to a hospital, where she died. EX-EDITOR OF GERMAN NEWSPAPER INTERNED Cleveland, Ohio — Waldemar Von Nostitz, 65, former editor and editorial writer of the Waechter und Anzeiger, and accredited by federal agents with being the personal representative of Kauffman of Dresden, Germany, principal stockholder in the paper, was arrested and ordered interned for the remainder of the war. The internment, first in Cleveland and most important in the central district of the war department since the beginning of the war, was brought about by the orders of President Wilson. Von Nostitz is held on the charge of being an alien enemy, but the real cause of the action is publication of articles in his newspaper held to be seditious. EXPLOSION AND FIRE BRINGS LOSS OF LIFE New York City.—Heavy loss of life is believed to have occurred in an explosion and resultant fire in the big Williamsburg plant of the American Sugar Refining Co. The estimates of the dead run from 25 to 100. Two 11-story buildings have been entirely destroyed. The fire resulted from an explosion of a boiler in one of the buildings. The explosion shook the entire Williamsburg section. Flames shot up hundreds of feet in the air. Five hundred workmen were in the buildings at the time. Would Control All Paper Mills. Washington, D. C.—All paper mills of the United States will be placed under government control during the war, and a request made that the Canadian government take the same action, if a recommendation made to the senate by the federal trade commission is carried out. It is estimated by the commission that paper manufacturers during 1916 received over $17,500,000 in excess profits, and that paper during 1917 will cost consumers $35,000,000 more than last year. Urgent Deficiency Bill O-K'd. Washington, D. C.—Without a single dissenting voice, the senate accepted the conference report on the urgent deficiency bill. This means that the $3,340,000,000 measure, including the $750,000,000 authorization for the merchant marine, now goes to the president for his signature. The bill appropriates the greatest sum ever voted at one time by any legislative body. The budget provides principally for army and navy expenditures. CAPE FOR THE KIDDIE Adopted as Summer Wrap Even for the Little Girl. Extra Military Effect Given by Soldier- ly Looking Buttons Used on Collar and Belt. Even the kiddies are wearing capes. The little model shown in the sketch is made of navy blue gaberdine, with col- arm, armhole edging, belt and bottom finish of gendarme red taffeta. As an extra military note a very soldierly looking brass button is used to fasten the collar and serve the belt in a simi- lar manner. Every little girl needs a summer wrap, and surely now that capes have been adopted, as the favorite mode of Military Cape for Small Girl. mothers and grown-up sisters there seems to be no reason at all why the younger member of the family should not insist that she, too, have one, says a writer in the Washington Star. The cape is an ideal spring and summer wrap, as it gives all the warmth and protection ordinarily required, and can be slipped on over the filmmist of frocks without mussing the frock as a coat with sleeves would. Many capes developed for adults show set-in vests or inside sections, with loose flowing outer part. This arrangement, however, would not be satisfactory for the smaller models. To make a cape comfortable and just right for the little girl, at the same time giving it an unusual style touch so it isn't merely one of the stereotyped Red Riding Hood affairs, this little cape is cut off at the waistline back and front and fullness let in by means of plaits. To make this cape for a girl of six or eight years two yards of material 36 inches wide will be required. If desired, the cape may be lined throughout with the red, and this is recommended if the trifling additional weight is not objected to. FOR THE LUNCHBOX Here are some suggestions for lunch-ces that are inexpensive and pleasing: Potato salad, with sandwiches made with hard-boiled eggs. Graham bread and lettuce with mayonnaise and cold fish. onnise and cold fish. Cold pork, lamb or mutton chops pre Cold pork, lamb or mutton chops preserved in waxed paper. Pecan and celery sandwiches sea soned with onion juice. Cold baked beans with brown bread and lettuce. Corned beef, with rye bread, horse radish and shredded cabbage. Smart Traveling Togs Tailleurs of beige, blue and gray serge of cheviot, waistcoats of checked woolen stuffs in odd colors—there is a pretty one of green and beige checked cheviot with a mere line of black—manteaux of jersey or checked and plain cheviot, of bats of satin, cloth or tricot de laine; nothing is forgotten, says Vogue. The blouse figures again in the traveling outfit. In fact, in view of dust and cluders, the blouse is almost indispensable. It may be in the form of a smart gilet with a guipme of soft muslin, or it may be a pepium blouse of crepe de chine, satin or tinted muslin. Of the traveling frock may be a sleeveless slip of serge or tussah, with a sleeved guipme of some thin stuff. Very like the old "jumper" is this last mentioned traveling frock, which, by the way, is much liked. Tulle Hats of Tets de Negre Transparent hats of tete de negre are worn with dresses of pale tinted mult. The tulle hat is new and is much worn at the moment. A fetching—little brim is made of tete-de-negre straw; a whirl of tete-de-negre tulle forms the crown. The tall coiffure supports this tulle crown, which is quite transparent, says Vogue. Hats are growing taller and taller. The brim may be wide or narrow, but the crowns of most of the smartest hats are very tall. 'A novelty is "straw" of taffeta tulle or ribbon, which is used for small hats of different sorts—not that any hat is really small this season. Generate Costs of Blue Taffeta Separate Coats or Blue Tanetta. Several stunning afternoon coats were seen at a smart tea in New York. One was worked in begonia red silk and lined with a begonia red taffeta, and another was embroidered with green and yellow beads around motifs of small velvet roses applied on the taffeta. This was lined with a white satin, and was sleeveless. It was worn with a tan georgette blouse and blue raberdine skirt. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917 PEASANT LACE IS ADOPTED Paris Designers Go to Roumania for Heavy Colored Trimming Used Extensively in That Country. It may be that the incoming of lace as a powerful fashion for the summer may not bring forth the best of results in costumery. What a woman owns in the way of fine lace she will not cut and reshape except under the lash of conviction that she can do nothing less if she is to make use of her possession, observes a fashion authority. A few of the French designers have gone to Roumania for the heavy string colored lace used by the peasantry, and have built tunic frocks of it, mounting it on slips of bright-colored satin or silk. One tunic that reaches nearly to the ankles is girdled a trifle below the waist, and again above it, with rolled sashes of blue silk, and there is a foundation of this silk to give color through the wide meshes of the coursely woven lace. Although the finer laces, such as point, Venetian, Bruges, d'Alencon, and their sisters, are used on the hand-somer gowns, there is a return to a design that is conspicuously open and appears to be a more artistic sprawling of threads finally knotted together. MAKE OLD PETTICOATS NEW Detachable Flouances Also Enable One to Have an Underskirt to Match Every Dress. Decidedly practical are the tailored petticoat flounces which will give a new lease of life to the underskirt whose upper section is in good condition but whose plaitings have become frayed or shabby. The latter may be removed and the attachable petticoat flounces put on. They are made with a drawstring adjustable to the old petticoat or to the new. In width they measure about two yards and in depth about nine inches. According to one's preference the attachable flounces are to be had in chiffon, taffeta or messaline. For the knockabout petticoat there are flounces of sateen or percale in a variety of colors so that by merely changing the flounce to match the tone of the dress one may have, to all intents and purposes, several petticoats by merely possessing several flounces. FOR THE STOUT WOMAN Copyright Copyright Stout women, especially in the summer time, frequently find difficulty in selecting a gown that will in no way emphasize their largeness. The latest styles aim at slenderness of appearance. This costume is a specially designed sveltline model with long girdle ends, rows of buttons, and overdrapery, all of which gives a svelt fashionable appearance. This looks cool and comfortable and there is small doubt that any woman of generous size may look quite as stylish and attractive if she has her gowns made along the same lines. Uneven Hangs the Hem . Owenne Hangs the Hem.. There is a great diversity of opinion as to the sorts of hens deemed proper for the smarter skirts. Many favor the uneven hem, even for wood tailleurs. Some skirts are shorter somewhat fuller than the even-eleged models. Practically all of the leading couturiers turn up the hem of some of their soft satin and chiffon models, while Worth makes nearly all of his skirts with this charming double effect. Several of his very lovely afternoon dresses of charmeuse show this skirt tipped by simple timone blouses, opening over waistcoats embroidered in gold. -Harper's Bazar. Gowns of Lace and Ribbon Gowns of combination lace with touches of color added by silks and satins used for girdles, pipings and petticoues are immensely popular. Malines lace, Louis XV filet, and chantilly, the latter beautiful tinted, and some run through with either gold or silver threads are noted. Heavy valenciennes is used for the bodice of a gown which has the upper part of the skirt of cornflower blue brocaded chiffon and from the knees down the valenciennes lace used in ruffles, and showing through is a petticule of coral chiffon. Coral moire ribbon is employed for a sash and girdle. A hat of coral moire and valenciennes lace trimmed with cornflower blue narrow velvet ribbons and tiny pink roses goes with the gown. Gingham Pattern Sink Frocks. A gingham pattern in pink and white has been used for a dress of Jap silk with organelle vestes and collar and large pearl buttons for trimming. The dress is finished with a ruffled At the sides falls a rather full over-skirt over a smooth band of the material as the frond panel. USE PLAIN SHAPES USE PLAIN SHAPES Paris Milliners Put Ban on Trimming This Season. Flower-Pot Models, With Narrow Brims and Very High Crowns, are Very Fashionable Just Now. The quint hat for a young girl, which is shown in the accompanying sketch, was created by the famous Caroline Reboux. It is exceedingly simple, but at the same time amazingly chic, writes Idalia de Villiers, a Paris correspondent. The hat itself is made of laquer-red Japanese straw, and the broad ribbons are in a delicate shade of silver gray. These ribbons are tied in a full bow right at the top of the high crown, passed through the brim at either side, and then passed under the chin. In all black, with a bright color lining in Quaint Hat for Young Girl. the narrow brim, this model would be charming, or in dark blue straw with japonica-pink ribbons and a lining of cream glove kid. These flower-pot shapes are very fashionable just now. They always have narrow brims, very high crowns and hardly any trimming. Indeed, the leading note of the 1917 millinery season is simplicity. Very beautiful and expensive straws are selected for the hat shapes, but trimnings are lightly used. Georgette is making a specialty of Boy Scout hats for morning wear, in fine chip and also in Japanese straw. Lengths of pictot ribbon are twisted round the crowns of these wide-brimmed hats, the ends hanging loosely over one shoulder. POCKETS IN NEW BLOOMERS Garment Designed to Be Worn With Short Skirt of Khaki and the Norfolk Jacket. It is now possible to buy bloomers which have pockets. In this will be seen the influence of the new sort of feminine garb which is being brought forward in anticipation of woman's entrance into industrial fields which heretofore have not been opened to her. The pocketed bloomer will be worn with the new short skirt of khaki, whose proper complement is the Norfolk jacket. Moreover, the summer girl who at present does not feel the necessity of identifying herself with any of the national organizations to aid the war department will be glad to avail herself of this convenient accessory for camp wear or for the hikking expedition in the country. These bloomers are to be hud all the way from those of white satin to the same humble variety of cotton or satins. The average woman will be attracted toward the models in dimity or nainsook, some of which are in color and which are designed to wear with the lingerie dress of matching hue. Lengthen Days of Silk Stockings Lengthen Days of Silk Stockings. Of course you know that nothing, however durable, will wear either well or long if not cared for properly. Silk stockings are no exceptions to this rule. They demand proper care. First and foremost, a thorough washing every time the stocking is worn is almost imperative. Perspiration tends to not the fiber—consequently the little holes that popped out so unexpectedly. Make a lather from a mild, white soap, "swish" the stockings about in it, rinse and iron when quite damp. If the stocking is only mercerized and you desire the silky seen, then rinse in water that is a bit soapy and press damp. And a word about mending: Silk on cotton and cotton on silk is easy to remember and a deal more satisfactory in the long run. The Corsage Flower. We just, most of us, get asked to the fact that something his gone out of fashion when the rest of us find that it has just come into fashion, again. Now when most of us have just discarded our little cluster of artificial flowers that we bought two or three years ago, the shops are showing charming new corsage flowers that are worn with distinction by a few well-dressed women. They are, most of them, small flowers and two or three kinds and colors are combined in each little bunch. We all like the fashion of wearing a bunch of the most springlike flowers on a fur cape or stole, says a writer on fashion. The furs in question are, of course, furs for summer use, which are quite established. This combination gives the same sort of satisfaction that a wide fur hem on a frock of tulle or a straw hat with a skating suit gives us. A. New Combination. Yellow taffeta and gray chiffon are being used a great deal and the mingling of these two colors is apt to be taken up more and more. TO WASH SUMMER FROCKS Handful of Salt in Rinsing Water Nearly Always Acts as Preservative for Any Color. When washing colored summer frocks at home, remember these hints: A handful of salt in the rinsing water nearly always acts as a preservative for any shade or color. Brown Holland frocks always present a better appearance if washed in bran water, without any soap being used. Boll a pound of bran in two quarts of water, strain this into two quarts of clean warm water, and wash the dress in as many lots of water as necessary. Rinse through cold water and, when half dry, iron on the wrong side with a hot iron. Silk summer blouses want washing quickly and carefully, one at a time. Do not wring the blouses, but squeeze through two bowls of soapsuds, then rinse through clean warm water. Pale colored silks improve by being given a second rinsing through blue water. Roll in a towel and iron before quite dry with a fairly hot iron, keeping a piece of muslin between the silk and the iron—a good tip this latter. So many home tundresses ruin silk blouses, making them yellow, by washing them in very hot water. SUPPER SET FOR LITTLE ONES Same General Decorative Scheme Car Be Carried Out In Tray Cloth, Bib and Napkins. When your particular little boy sings for his supper see that he is set down to something as attractive as this little supper set, which will amuse him if he eats alone or at least keep him quiet if he shares his evening meal with the family. It consists of a traycloth of crash all finished with fancy buttonholing in black and embellished with a procession of animals from the cross-stitch book. The bib, which Tommy Tucker will put on to protect his clean suit will follow the same general decorative scheme. Then there are two little napkins each with one of the cross—no, cross-stitched—animals in one corner. These are used to form an extra protection under the little one's plate, especially if the cloth is used to cover his portion of a polished table. Surely a kiddie would not grow obstinate at a supper served under such attractive conditions. ADJUST HAIR NET LIGHTLY It Should Not Be Pulled Tightly Over Coifure at the Beginning as Might Be Supposed. In adjusting a hair net it is not pulled tightly over the hair, as one night suppose. The best hairdressers always throw it lightly over the hair. While one end is held in one hand, the other is pinned down at one side of the front and a few invisible hairpins thrust into it without any attempt to make it fit smoothly at first. Then the other end is fastened to the other side of the front. This leaves the hair net standing out from the hair in places. Then these little full places are gradually taken up, always being careful not to pull the collure down too tightly. The little bunches of net are pinned under the surface of the hair, where they will not be noticeable. A last touch is to take a hatpin and pull the collure out into its original form wherever it has become flattened. As the hairdresser says, "Don't be stingy with hairpins." SUIT WEIGHS TEN OUNCES UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN In summer, comfort's the thing. It is not any too easy to obtain it either. Many frocks have been designed to insure comfort, but few have lived up to their purpose. This charming suit of pussy-willow weighs only ten ounces, and is made in navy blue with white silk stitchings that are very attractive. The suit is adaptable for sport wear and is very durable. The hat is of unusual shape with a very broad brim. Knitting Kink. Some of the "knitting girls" are making attractive sweaters out of two colors of wool. They merely use the double strand, one of each color, and treat it as they would the single strand of wool in any other sweater. The effect at a distance is novel and artistic when the right colors are combined. The darker wool is usually used for the trimming bands, sash, collar and cuffs. Sleeveless sweaters made in this way of college colors are popular with the younger girls. Coloring Process. If you have ribbons or waists of delicate shade which have become faded and soiled you can restore them to their natural color or change to a darker shade if desired. Buy tube water color paints. Put a few drops, or until the shade desired is reached, in gasoline. After well dissolved, dip goods in and continue dipping until shade is desired. You can color feathers in this way also. The difference between green and black tea is entirely a matter of its treatment. Flag Colors Too Frequently Used New York.—When France went to war she abolished the introduction of colors into all apparel. When England went to war she did not change a jot or tota of her life in any manner. Mr. Wells, with his extraordinary facility for telling the truth in the guise of fiction has shown us in "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" a picture of England and her greatest war. When America went to war she introduced the red, white and blue into woman's apparel to such an alarming manner that one critic truly said that if this exploitation of the flag continued, Americans would soon prefer to see the enemy's flag to their own. The Colors Too Freely Used Everywhere we wore the colors. They not only floated from the windows, covered the facades of houses, swung from every public building and hotel, ornamented railroad stations and draped themselves around monuments, but they were carried by every motorcar, by the ox wagons of the South, by the bicycles of boys, by the buckets on their little curts and even by the bootblacks' boxes on the corner stands. When France wore seriously, sadly, terribly in earnest to meet the enemy in the shape of the "gray fog that rolled through Brussels," she did not exploit one-elfitt as many flags as one city in America during the first week that war was declared; for in addition to all the methods by which the flag itself was exploited, several million people wore the colors in their buttonholes, wrapped about their hats and plumed to their shoulders. Billions of buttons showing the flag were sold in two weeks, and then the dressmakers and designers of all sorts of woman's apparel saw to it that the colors would be introduced into their field of work. By this time one begins to feel that the critic was right. The flag has become so commonly used that there should be a law to prohibit its being flaunted in this way. If we do not succeed in stemming the tide of clothes made in the red, white and blue, we shall all become an animated flag moving across the continent, made up of a few million human beings appearing as parts of the whole. The day that General Joffre arrived in New York it was the delight of the women to wear the red, white and blue in every possible way, and some of the smart set launched fashions that may become part of the season's styles. There were flag blue frocks of silk with brilliant red belts or sashes and a white star embroidered on each shoulder, and there were caps taken from those of the French Guard of 1870, with the wide strap under the chin and the red, white and blue cockade floating in front. There were red, white and blue sunshades, to match handbags. There were army capes of every kind in dark blue lined with red and showing white satin collars. There were military suits of blue serge with lapels and cuffs of red and white striped silk, and TENNIS In this French flannel tennis frock the skirt and blouse are plaited and trimmed with wide, white silk braid. On the immense pockets there are large pearl buttons. The flannel is amber colored. there were visored caps of red satin and patent leather trimmed with a dark blue band. As General Joffre rode from the city hall to upper Fifth avenue, he must have wondered at the overwhelming display of his own colors, perhaps SUITS MADE OF RIBBOMS No Other Materials Used in Sport Costume and Pajamas, Which Are Novelty of Season. Ribbons have taken unto themselves much responsibility this season. One finds them gayly joining forces in sports suits, separate skirts, hats, bags and even so audacious as to attempt a pajama suit in which brocaded lingerie ribbon is employed. Made entirely of bayadere ribbon about four inches wide a new sports suit has the Russian blouse of red and white striped ribbon, with a plaited skirt made of white ribbon intersected with the striped. The hat has the upper portion made of the striped ribbon with the facing of silk straw, and the bag is fashioned entirely of the striped effect. A pajama suit is made of light blue brocaded lingerie ribbon about two inches wide, joined together to the slipover blouse with a deep border of lavender ribbon of the same variety that is fagoted together. The sleeves are of the short kimono type, also with not realizing that America was exploiting herself as well as France. It is no longer a question as to whether the three colors will be introduced into fashion through the entrance of America into the war; it is a question as to how they shall be suppressed. The colors of our flag are exceptionally lovely, and bits of red or blue introduced into the costume freshen and enliven it; but a studied and continuous array, of the three colors joined together in some type of costume should become a dead fashion because of its monotony, if for nothing else. The Wearing of the Capes. The widespread demand for army capes cut in any fashion that different sections of the army wear, is accepted by the makers of wom- In this simple hat the straw is partly covered with emerald green georgette crepe, and the upright stalks of roses are cut from biscuit-colored kid en's clothes as a dominant fashion. It has given the tailors a good chance to break loose into a mass of work which is ready for instant sale. Coats and skirts have not been demanded as much as usual this spring, and even elaborate afternoon frocks have been partly replaced by sports suits; therefore, the coming of these military capes into the fashions of the hour has proved a boon to those who deal in cloth. There are far too many designs in these capes to attempt to describe them, but the general silhouette must be slim, there must be an opening of some kind on each side for the arm, the collar must be a pretentious and elaborate affair and the cape must fall well below the knees. As a garment it has become a serious rival to the top coat. This is natural. Several years of the top coat as a constant garment and its increase in fashion during the last two years have put one or more into the possession of most women, until they feel they have enough top coats to last them until the fashion is dead. For several varieties of capes that are worn, the choice of materials is usually limited to thin, dark blue serge, white broadcloth, black and white checked wool, and sometimes deep red broadcloth. In all the capes there is no tendency to hide the openings at the sides which serve as armholes. There is a wide band of soutache braid, sometimes the application of another color with embroidery, of pieces of the material cut into points, scallops or battlements. One of the dark blue capes which is lined with army red has 12-inch openings for the arms which are edged with small blue bone buttons and buttonholes, so that any part of the opening can be fastened whenever desired. When one tires of bright colors, the mind constantly turns to black-and-white checks. There are seasons when this design is a trifle smarter than other seasons, but it is always in fashion and usually in strong demand. This season it has taken a high place in the affection of the public. Coat suits, one-piece frocks, capes and other wraps are made of it. It is sometimes trimmed with marine blue or any shade of dark red, but an application of solid black is the best way to treat it. These capes are about the only kind of top garment that is not belted; they swing free and full from the shoulders, but there is a fashion law against their being too full and the dressmakers have invented several ways of making the cut irregular and full of character. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) the border and adding a touch of interest is the Boshanara girdle. This is square in effect, made of 50 yards of very narrow double-faced ribbon in this instance in light blue and lavender and is formed by the clever winding in and out of the ribbon to show one row of blue and the other of the contrasting color alternately. Art in Wearing Black It takes an artist to make and an artist to wear black with success. The average person who puts on a black frock or hut or wrap without care or discrimination is courting sartorial disaster. Opposed to this class are the women who see all the danger signals and never run past them recklessly. They make a fine art of wearing a black costume, whether it be for morning or evening. A woman can look as conspicuous in black as in scarlet. The Parisienne knows this so well that she saves her black gowns for her most adventurous hours, those in which she wishes to startle, to surprise, to shock. She realizes the possibilities of glittering jet against a white skin.
