My Dear Mr. Smith!—Answering your postal inquiry of June 13, 1917, I beg to reply that I did not personally attend the funeral of Senator Foraker. I was unable to get away from Washington, at that time and was obliged to content myself with a very sincere message of condolence to Mrs. Foraker. Moreover, I did a thing which has only been done in the Senate once or twice in the last 20 years. I called the attention of the Senate in fitting words to the passing of Senator Foraker and secured an adjournment in honor of his memory. Very truly yours, W. G. HARDING. DOINGS OF THE RACE Send in your subscription for The Gazette NOW! No better time than the present to do so. Major R. R. Jackson's film bill has again passed the Illinois, Assembly and reached Gov. Lowden who vetoed much the same bill, some weeks ago. Ban Harper chauffeur was lynchman Gov. Lowden for the accident, for accidentally running down (with an auto) and killing a 12 year old "white" girl. A head of a child modeled by Mrs. Mary Howard Jackson, of Washington, D. C. has been placed on exhibition in the lower loan room of the famous Corcoran Gallery of Art. It is an admirable piece of work is the general verdict. Juline Phillips leads the graduating class of 80 (nearly all whites) in the Connelsville, Pa., high school, and has been elected valedictorian. Her average was 85.4 percent. She intends to enter Howard University in the fall. Joshua Smith, a graduate of the Plainfield, N. J., High school, was awarded a bronze medal in the annual New Jersey University, Newark, June 9.

Rivers, of N, Y, city, is serving as an interpreter for the state. He speaks English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese fluently. He was graduated from Tufts College in 1902 and required a local reputation as a linguist while attending the Boston Latin School. Is the Wilson administration trying to bribe the school? Young? It certainly looks like it. Ras J. S. Russell, archdeacon of southern Virginia and principal of St. Paul's N. & I. school, Lawrenceville, Va., has refused election to the Suffragan Bishopric of the E. diocese of Arkansas. The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune of June 24 contains excellent portraits and a splendid write-up of Hon. Geo. W. Hays, of that city, former member of the House of Representatives than forty years U. S. Circuit and District court crier at Cincinnati. He is one of the most highly respected members of the race in the state. The 15th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., Col. Wm. Hayward (white) commanding, is the first unit of that state to reach its full quota for war strength. The other twelve infantry regiments are still 8653 men short. Leont, Tohey, a member of the race, has resigned and is now a prejudice. The 15th is N. Y.'s Afro-American regiment organized in recent months. James F. Thrift, a (proclaimed) Virginian by birth, city treasurer of Baltimore, Md., was practically bisoned off the Lyle theater stage, that city, last week Wednesday evening, when he attempted to flatly contradict a statement relative to the race under, by the speaker at the high school commencement exercises being held there that evening. GOOD! Thrift was representing the mayor. The following, taken from The Gazette, was republished by the Murphysboro (Ill.) Arrow, Rev. W. A. Jackson, D. D. editor, and by several other race papers, last week: "Prof. W. E. B. Dubois is said to receive a salary of $3,500. That is $300 a month, $75 a week, $1250 a day—from the National Association for the Protection of Colored People. Pretty pity pay for the editor of The Crisis. What are our people, the country over, getting from him in return for all this money." Jack Johnson, who is growing wealthier daily, and his white wife live in a handsome house in the host and most exclusive part of Barclays, Spain, and recently when he was having dinner, he invited the lived for a month at the best hotel in Barcelona. They often there for dinner and Johnson is a familiar figure in the supper room, where tango is the sport until daybreak. He never attempts to dance, however, and he limits his liquid representations to a few glasses of champagne. Our longtime friend, the Hon. P. U. S. Pinchback of Washington, D. C., whose 80th birthday was celebrated there, June 2, 17, with a reception and banquet, was a soldier during the war of 1918 and the 1919 collapse; congressman-talarge-elect and E. U. S. senator-elect from the same state, and surveyor of the port of New Orleans. The following was received by the editor of The Gazette, the past week, from blim; "Mr. Pinchkey Benton Stewart Pinchback returns sincere thanks for the appreciation on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. May 10, 17." "This country can never succeed under God in establishing democracy over the world while color-caste and disfranchisement are so flagrantly practised at home," said Editor William Munroe Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, recently, in a speech at a mass meeting in Holdenbury, where the 13th annual convention of the New England League for Afro-American C suffrage was in session. We Colored Americans, continued the speaker, "now solemnly join the president in pressing the president and the people of the U.S. to permit the Colored American to enjoy this world democracy for which the race must fight. We are not willing to help the rest of the world to enjoy liberty and democracy while 'our race' is held in serfdom in the Southern States." GOOD FOR OUR MINISTERS. As Well as for Our Commencement Speakers—Prof. Pickens' Pertinent Suggestion. Baltimore, Md.—Speaking of "commencement time" and "commencement speakers," Prof. Pickens of Morgan College, this city, writes, "the present is ten times as important as the past. In fact we have come into a conviction that history of today, then the history of yesterday, then the history of day-before-yesterday, then the history of last week, then of last month, then last year, last decade, last century—and so on—beginning with the present as back into the past as possible, or as far as the school curriculum will permit. For the most important time is the present time, and the next most important time is that which is nearest to the present. * * * Instead of describing a Roman galley describe a modern submarine. Tell us what civilization; which can we get the better chance to make a living any-where Carthage or in live New York? And do the battles of 2,000 years ago still affect us more than do the battles of the present. Which has had more to do with the price of our eggs; the war in Gaul or the war in Flanders? Tells us first about the world in which we live; the way is green. Which that ever was. Tells us of its natural wonders, its science, its airships, its social problems, its passions and its sins. its love and its hate, its beauty and its God!" A Sign of Age.

OPERATORS BACK DOWN Promise to Cut Prices of Coal to Consumers. Heed Warning of Secretary Lane at Conference in Nation's Capital. Washington, D. C. --- Lower coal prices, both for the government and the private consumer, are promised as the immediate result of the conferences held here between the coal operators and government officials. Standing before the coal men, Secretary of Interior Franklin K. Lane held in his hand seven bills now before congress and told his audience that they had their choice of submitting to government control and operation or of agreeing upon a fair price for their products. At the conclusion of Secretary Lane's speech of warning Judge H. B. Lindsay, an operator from Knoxville, Tenn., observed that it was apparent that a "serious operation is about to be performed and we should see that the mind of the patient is suitably prepared." Immediately the operators went into executive session, which continued throughout the day. Late in the evening the announcement was made that a material reduction in coal prices might be expected. FIERCE WIND STORM DESTROYS BUILDINGS FIERCE WIND STORM DESTROYS BUILDINGS Conneaut, Ohio - Conneaut is recovering from the second tornado in three days. Saturday afternoon at 5:30 a. t. tornado shut in over Lake Erle, destroying many trees and unroofing many buildings. Many bars were-destroyed by lightning. Tuesday night at exactly the same time the kind of a storm swept in from lake Lake, causing thousands of dollars' damage--destroying buildings, uprooting trees and putting telephone and telegraph wires out of commission. FARMERS GET ADVICE FROM OHIO EXPERTS FARMERS GET ADVICE FROM OHIO EXPERTS Findlay, Ohio.-Sixty million bushels of wheat for Ohio in 1918 instead of only 30,000,000 bushels is the slogan adopted by speakers at the first field day of the northwestern Ohio experiment station in this city. Nearly 1,000 farmers came here to hear addresses from experts. F. A. Wolton and S. M. Houser of the Wooster station and D. N. Heininger and E. J. Ward of Ohio State University spoke. All declared Ohio could double her yield of wheat next year to 60,000,000 bushels if the farmer would only use fertilizer more systematically. PRESIDENT APPEALS TO SUNDAY SCHOOLS Washington, D. C.—Patriotic Sunday was fittedly observed June 20 in all the Sunday schools of the United States in response to an appeal by President Wilson to observe the day by genorous giving to the Red Cross. President Wilson's letter follows: "To the Officers, Teachers and Scholars of the Sundays Schools of the United States, the present indictment call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizen of the United States in response to this or her ability to make the nation strong by patriotic gifts, patriotic gifts, common cause. It is, therefore, highly fitting that the Sunday schools of the nation should observe a special patriotic day in which the nation may contribute to the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffering entailed by the prosecution of the present war. I may earnest hope that your generosity may be unstinted in this, the hour of the nation's need, and that this special may be made possible in the understanding of the cause for which our beloved land now contends. A. English Port. — Brave American naval gunners successfully fought off a big German submarine, which attacked an American passenger liner off the coast of Ireland. A torpedo fired by the submarine missed its target by less than 20 feet. The encounter occurred at midnight, after the liner had been in the submarine zone many hours. A large number of the passengers on board were reading in the cabin or lying in chairs on deck, ready for an emergency. C.

Washington, D. I. C. - Mobilization of the nation's resources on a scale undreamed before has already been accomplished by the council of national defense, according to the first official statement of that body, just made public. Millions of dollars have been sayed in contracts. Railroads, mines, telegraph and telephone companies, great industrial establishments, manufacturers, inventors, scientists and plain business men have been drawn into a common movement of preparedness for the country's present emergency. The nation has been placed on a preparedness footing almost startling in its magnitude. Among the big things accomplished are: Mobilization of the 26,000 miles of railroad country for the government's defense, great saving of time has been figured out for movement of troops and equipments. Close-knit organization of the telegraph and telephone companies of America to insure to the government the most rapid and efficient wire communication. Settlement of recent threatened railroad strikes. Settlement of 45,000 pounds of copper for use of the army and navy at least one-half of the current price—a saving to the government of approximately 100,000,000. Similar accomplishments as to the military and国防. Completion of the military, for military purposes, of 27,000 American manufacturing plants. Money saving to the government through the governmental investment throughout the country of committees of business men to assist the quartermaster's department of the army in the economical and efficient management of dollars. Saving to the government of millions of dollars by proper co-ordination of purchases through the agency of the general munitions board of the council. Saving to the council's committee on coal production in the procurement and expedited shipment of coal, both in federal and civilian interests. Successful initiation of a movement to purchase the coal of the various states for national defense. GIRL KILLED TRYING TO PROTECT ESCORT New York City—Miss Nellie Wheeler, aged 22, was shot twice and killed while attempting to protect her escort, Frank Devil, a private detective, from the attack of four men. Devil himself is in a hospital with two bullets in his back and may not recover. The shooting followed a wild automobile trip about the city and sundry stops at cabarets. The four men who attacked Devil were picked up in one of these places and invited to join the party. While the car was proceeding through the Bronx, Devil resented a remark of one of his unknown guests and the car was stopped so they could take to the roadway to fight it out. Woman Who Slew Makes Confession. Waukesha, Wis.—Miss Grace Lusk, forty-tow-year-old school teacher, has confessed to District Attorney Maurice Tullar at the municipal hospital all the details she could remember of the clandestine visits of herself and Dr. David Roberts, whose wife she shot and killed she was married to. She named dates, the fictitious names that were used and the hotels that were visited on her trips to Chicago. Also she even told the time of night she and Dr. Roberts arrived and the towns from which they registered. GRIGGS' BOOK WINS A PLACE Worthy of Recognition by Any; of the Colored Schools of the South, Says Tennessee City Superintendent—It Makes Clear the Relationship of the Two Races in the United States. The superintendent of Memphis city schools recently notified the school boards and superintendents of Memphis, Tennessee, that the local board of education, upon his recommendation, had approved the book "Life's Demands," by the Rev. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, as a supplemental reader for the colored schools of that city, says Sallie Wistar" in the Philadelphia Ledger. The notification was amplified by an explanation setting forth this book REV. DR. BUTTON E. GRIGGS. marked the first effort by any colored author to prepare a textbook for the colored schools of the country and that the splendid purpose of Dr. Griggs in preparing such a work had his hearty endorsement. Mr. Kineanon expressed his opinion that it should "enrich the course of study of any of the colored schools in the south." The book contains much thoughtful reflection on the characteristics of the Negro race—its deficiencies as viewed from the angle of the white man and of the standards of the white man's civilization. The great outstanding need of the Negro race is a larger capacity for cooperative endeavor, "for it is only through the blended energies of men that the great things of the world are accomplished." If the Negroes had developed a civilization they would have developed social capacities. Now they must be introduced into a civilization created by another race, and this can only be accomplished by training. A race living within a civilization by the side of a race that wrought out that civilization cannot afford to limit its efforts at education to the things provided by the other race for its own self, for the newcomer must in some way make up for the intervening development." Our civilization having been evolved through the ages and handed down from generation to generation through a continuous evolution of ideas, is difficult to assimilate by an alien race, and the latter requires a special training if it is to adapt itself to the standard and requirements of that civilization. "Deeper processes of education would not be amiss," says Dr. Griggs. For a race to take on the outer forms of an alien civilization without gripping what underlies it is of little value, Haitt, which is peopled by Negroes, borrowed from the United States its republican form of government, but its attempt at a republican form of government is a failure. As a fact, the chief progress of society, has been made by concerted action. Herbert Spencer truly said, "Co-operation is at once that which cannot exist without society and that for which society exists." Since the supreme mission of mankind is to develop social efficiency, a race that is weak in its capacity for social service is weak at the most vital point in its existence. It is in the matter of its capacity for collective action that the Negro race has been weakest. After thousands of years of possession of Africa the Negroes have lost all except a very small portion. After all, government is purely a co-operative task and can be successfully carried out only by races which possess social qualities. Dr. Griggs concludes that civil education should enter strongly in the training of Negroes in the colored schools. Dr. Griggs says that it is recognized among the Negroes of America that "they cannot stick together." In a certain southern state out of fourteen Negro banks established thirteen have collapsed, and he enumerates similar notable failures in other lines of organization work, all due to this incapacity for organization inherent in the race—this social inefficiency. E GOT JUSTICE OR TRAIN. Howard Found Seats For Fellow Pas- sition of Discrimination Howard Public State College Passengers in Spite of Discrimination. Montgomery, Ala. — Knowing one's rights in a matter and firmly insisting upon them will often get for a black man in the south consideration usually denied as a matter of course. She was the experience of C. E. Howard of Jacksonville, Fla., president of the National Negro Travelers' Protective association. According to Montgomery from Pensacola, Fla., Mr. Howard relates this incident, which happened on one of the fast trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. A large number of people, more than sufficient for the usual accommodations on this line, converged at Flomaton, which is a junction point, and boarded the northbound train. Most of the people were going to northern sections, but all the discomforts of a crowded train were to prevail as far as Montgomery, a distance of more than a hundred miles, and probably as far as Birmingham, another hundred. After all the women were seated who could find seats eighteen persons were left crowded in the aisle of the compartment allotted to colored-passengers. No effort was made by any member of the crew to secure seats, although there were only three white passengers in the adjoining compartment allotted to white smokers. Mr. Howard approached the conductor at the first opportunity with reference to finding seats, when that worthy asked what there was for him to do in the matter. Howard replied that room might be made in the white smoker since it was not fully occupied and that it was supposed that the Negro passengers were to have equal accommodations. He pointed to the fact that many of the passengers had already come long-distances and were going still farther. The conductor, although *surly*, made room in the smoker for the eighteen who were standing, and before reaching Montgomery that compartment was completely filled with Negro passengers. The usual *method* when any room is made for them at all under such circumstances is to make Negro passengers ride in the "baggage coach ahead." PICKENS IS IN DEMAND. Many Organizations Seek 'Professor's Services as an Orator. The laymen's missionary movement of the United States and Canada is to be congratulated upon its good fortune in having one of its chief speakers Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, who delivered "a most scholarly and instructive address at the meeting held at Roanoke, Va., the early part of June. Professor Pickens' subject was "New World Conditions a Challenge to the Church." It is indeed gratifying to the race particularly and the public generally to note the liberal amount of time and thought which Professor Pickens so willingly devotes to the many, great movements for the good of the members of both races. Following the laymen's series of meetings Professor Pickens spoke at a large gathering at York, Pa., on "The Negro and the Present Crisis." His subject, a subtitle, is given serious consideration after hearing the speaker at one of the above meetings a man said, "Mr. Pickens is not only a level headed man, fine scholar and gifted educator, but he is also the dean of young Negro orators in the United States." On Friday, June 15, Mr. Pickens spoke in Philadelphia under the auspices of the Armstrong association. On Wednesday, June 27, he is to speak at Atlantic City, N. J., at the Eworth league convention. Professor Pickens will wind up his speaking tour on Sunday, July 1, at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., where he will deliver one of his great educational addresses at one of the sessions of the Epworth league institute. His services are in great demand, and any organization or institution, which is fortunate enough to secure his services deserves a high compliment. PRAISES RACE MUSIC. Harvard Organist Finds Much to Admire in Hampton Performances. Dr. Archbald T. Davison, organist of Harvard Memorial chapel, who has been making a study of the music work at Hampton institute for the general education board of New York, recently sang the bass solos in the "Elijah" oratorio, which was presented in part by the Hampton institute chorus, the Hampton Choral union and several soloists, including Miss Bessie L. Drew, Miss Clara F. Smith and Dove A. Burress, under direction of R. N. Dett. Dr. Davison teaches in Harvard university, leads a choir of forty men and is chairman of the musical advisory board of Boston. Dr. Davison said: "There is a great tendency in education not to take music as seriously as mathematics and other studies. The benefits of musical instruction are quite as great as those derived from other studies. 'Mere singing or playing does not constitute musicianship. It is necessary to learn the fundamentals and to acquire the meaning of things. To have musical intelligence one must begin at the beginning. "I have been greatly impressed with the singing and music at Hampton institute. The devotion to music is very strong. I wish to congratulate you on your music teaching. The plantation singing is very good. It corresponds with the folk singing of France and England. You have the basis for going forward. All music is derived from the folk songs. Learn all there is to sing and to play." SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year.....$1.50.

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. PREJUDICE. "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 friends grow cold, but the sense 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 guilliamite order of last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. For obvious reasons we are pleased indeed to publish Senator Warren G Harding's letter, elsewhere in this paper. Wednesday, June 27, 1917, Paul Lawrence Dunbar's forty-fifth birthday was celebrated at the homeestead, 219 N. Summit street, Dayton. He ought to have been so honored on that day, generally, among our people. The Spingarn-DuBois "jim crow" military training camp idea (the first camp to be established at Plattsburg N. Y.) was not accepted by Secretary of War Baker. Some race newspapers do not seem to know this yet. war department statement, last week, announced the possibility of a transfer of the military training camp from Ft. Des Moines, Iowa, on the ground that the land in that vicinity was "marshy." Major Peal, in his communication published elsewhere in this paper, does not seem to agree with this "headquarter's" decision. We are in hearty accord with Dr. Byrd's suggestion of a "National Race Congress" along lines indicated in his excellent contributed editorial in this issue of The Gazette, with the exception of his suggestion of a meeting place. All things considered, a more central and far better place for the "Congress" to convene would be Chicago. In a vain effort to discourage emigration of Afro-Americans to the North, the Central Ry. of Georgia; the Atlantic Coast Line, the Southern and Georgia & Florida Ry. Co.'s no longer accept "prepay order" transportation for them. The "prepay order" method of sending money from the point where our men are wanted has been employed largely by those interested in getting large numbers of Afro-Americans out of the South. This will not stop them from leaving. Sam Langford is "tolling" Fred Fulton into a match for "big money." That's all the recent contest between those two pugilists amounts to. Langford "quit" in the seventh round just like Jack Johnson quit at Havana. Willard never whipped Jack, as Mat Hinkle, the referee, of this city, announced on his return home from witnessing that fasco, and as any unbiased persons could easily see after reading unbiased and correct newspaper accounts of it at the time. All Afro-Americans drawn in the draft for service with the new national army will be "jim crowed"—grouped into separate regiments and commanded in most cases by their own officers up to the rank of major, according to information from the war department. What's to be done with Lieut. Col. Charles Young of the regular army? He ought to have command of one of the regiments. We are much concerned as a result of his being "ordered" to that hospital at the Presidio, San Francisco, Cal. HOW LONG, LORD, O, HOW LONG? Several weeks ago Chief of Police Rowe announced that the records of the Central Police station showed that approximately "$200,000 worth of loot had been obtained by crooks working in the third police precinct, the month previous." This precinct includes the Central Ave. vicinity. Last week a local daily newspaper made prominent reference to the "Negro thugs" of that precinct, and attention has frequently been called to the large number of illegal and immoral resorts of various kinds conducted in Ward 11, well known to the police of the third precinct and unmosed by them because they (the police) say they dare not "touch them." This, doubtless, as a result of Director Sprosty's well-known order, No. 73 which requires instructions from him before Chief Rowe or his men can make such arrests in an effort to clean up that or any other section of the city. This makes very clear the fact that nothing material will be done in Ward 11 to improve its moral tone until our local Minister's alliance shall have demanded, in public mass meetings, that the Maschke-Davis city administration compel Director Sprosty to eliminate order No. 73 and permit Chief Rowe and the police of the third precinct to do what must be done and what they are anxious to do to clean up that section, about the worst in the city from a moral view point. One of, if not the largest gambling hell in the city has been openly conducted on the top floor of the Clayton block, 2828 Central Ave., for a year or more. Promoters of it are said to have claimed "police protection" for it before it was opened. It has been running all of this time practically without interference from the police. This same thing is true of the numerous "buffet flats" conducted in the main by women, speak easies, immoral resorts and other illegal places, all well known to the police of the third and fourth precincts. No wonder life and property are freely taken in that section of the city and "$200,000 worth of loot was obtained by crooks working there in one month." The only wonder is that more life and property are not lost there, every month. The question is "how long, Lord, oh, how long" will our good people of that vicinity continue to permit their ministers, who claim to have charge of the moral welfare of our people of the community, to continue to sit on a stool of do-noting and REFUSE to do their clear duty in the mater? EDITOR SMITH'S DECLARATIONS We hope that Hon. H. C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette, is not correct in his conclusions with reference to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He declares that it looks like the organization is being proclaimed with prominence in New York City for the purpose of controlling in as large a measure as possible the Colored people of the country. We do not believe that any one will care to take issue with him upon that question. The point is as to whether this control or purported control is to the detriment or benefited by the organization. He has argued the case to an extent from this angle, but we do not see that he has fully made out his case, although he has made a sledge-hammer attack against the compromising attitude of the organization upon some vital questions—the condoning of evil that may come. On vital racial questions, Hon. H. C. Smith is now and always has been as true "as the needle to the hole." He is right now. This segregation business, this separate organization, this treating of the American citizen of color as "a thing apart" is in direct opposition to the fundamental principles of the republic. No American, regardless of his color, has read and studied the truths of history and who is educated enough and manly enough to understand them, will question the attitude of Mr. Smith upon this question. When we yield to this kind of subserviency, we sacrifice manhood and give up vital American rights of citizenship. We should accept such discriminations only under protest and like a metal spring, when the pressure is removed, return to our former position and attitude. We have a high opinion though of the motives and successes of the organization under discussion and if Editor H. C. Smith's suspicions are well founded, we are one of the most surprised individuals in the country—Richmond (Va.) Planet. In closing the editorial on "The N. A. A. C. P." to which reference is made in the foregoing, The Gazette used the following lines: Look at the matter from any angle, this wholesale asking of our people just at this time to continue making sacrifice of rights and privileges in the face of "old and new insults and wrongs," and by the white officers of an organization supposed to be for "the advancement of colored people," forces one to do a lot of thinking that is not at all favorable to the N. A. A. C. P. That is all the conclusion The Gazette reached and we still feel sure that it is a reasonable and tenable one and that here was nothing in the editorial in question to justify the "grandstand" position, and bid for sympathy, taken by the alleged "Turkish-cigaret-smoking" $3,600 a year, $300 a month, $75 a week, $12.50 a day" editor of the Crisis. We still contend that conditions referred to made by white officers of the N. A. A. C. P., should at least be carefully investigated by our loyal race publications and a clear understanding also had as to how Dr. J. E. Spingarn and Editor "Alphabetical" DuBois could so quickly and easily change to the support of racial segregation after more than a year's activity against that very pernicious and harmful thing. Whether the organization's control of at least a part of our people is detrimental or beneficial will no doubt be determined in a large degree by the national white officers' and DuBois' support of segregated military training camps for our men. We were pleased with the view of the matter taken by our long-time friend and conferee Editor John Mitchell, of the Richmond Planet. transformed into olive drab warriors, fitted out with all the accoutrements of modern warfare. The program is unfriendly to a weakling: On the parade-walks at 5:30 a.m. and retiring at 9:45 p.m. the budding officers are hoping to squeeze four wagons. A NEGRO CONGRESS. The colored race needs solidarity. Divisiveness is its undoing. In this day of world-wide struggle for individual and national liberty our race should not be overlooked. Democracy will never be a success till it lives up to its pretensions. The equal rights of all exiles will expel under the just reign of law, to enter into everything that makes for the good of humanity, that safeguards generations, must be accorded. American slavery succeeded in destroying the confidence of the race in itself, making this weakness a sure means by which the other races might exert their power. When this one evil has been uprooted, the race has in no greater degree than any other race, delinquencies. The restricting of the education of our people in the South has raised a wall that divides the race and almost destroys the educational facilities in certain portions of that section of the country. The denial of the race. The denial of the franchise (in the South) to the majority of the race has reduced it to serfdom and left it nearly divested of every vestige of backbone and manhood. A general dissatisfaction with being known as a real Negro, is working evil in the development of the race. A courageous member of the kin with other races shows a lack of pride in being a Negro. A National Negro Congress will be conducive of great good. 1st. It will unite the race in America upon demanding EQUAL RIGHTS in all things political and civil. It will mean that a colored man will have the same privileges accorded him as an American citizen as any other, wherever the stars and stripes float. 2nd. It will discuss intelligently the problem of religion which the race is naturally fitted for. We are facing today a decadence of religious power as seen by the unnecessary and brutal war that is going on before which Christianity is prostrated. The church is the tool of the politician and the religious Negro race to show a religion which governs everything in life instead of it being governed. 3rd. It will unify the race on educational matters. Every form of education, known to the civilized nations that is of use in helping the nations attain the highest efficiency, should be given our race. The education that makes for wealth, industry, intelligence and adaptability to contend with the forces of life everywhere, the Negro should be despised but, in developing all, no one form should be emphasized to the detriment of the others. A symmetrical education! 4th. It will provide a way for the mutual protection of the race. Negroes in any portion of the country should have the aid of all men in preserving their lives and especially those of their brethren. This protection should not be offensive but defensive. No other race should be in jeopardy. No other race should be in position to take away our rights without a protest, that means something. 5th. A basis of co-operation can be established whereby members of the race can aid one another in the business and commercial world. The grouping of individuals into strong bands to establish and maintain commercial and business enterprises. 6th. The unification of the Negro press upon all matters pertaining to the uplift of the race and these papers made powerful agencies for uplift and character building. The race at large will then give the press the support it richly deserves. Every newspaper of color in America should be in this congress. The choice men of every state should be chosen to membership in it. A fit meeting place will be Washington, D. C. In addition to the things mentioned, other matters of vital importance can and will be acted upon. The committee of arrangements should be our editors and a few men of known ability. Some time in the early fall this congress should be convened. The race, if united, will be a POWER. If a free discussion is held by the race activist this congress, conclusions will be reached that will mean much. This is submitted to the wisdom and decision of the editors of our press and other acknowledged leaders. The editors endorsing this idea are asked to speak out in their columns. It is hoped that men of known ability, both in business and the professions, will speak to their opinion in the wisdom of such success. The changed conditions in the south and the infux of our people from that section to the north, demand that the leaders, as well as the race itself, be as one in all things the happiness and progress of the race. As a result of this congress, Negroes who live north and those who remain south American freedom as never before, WM. A. BYRD. FROM ET. DES MOINES, IOWA. Lively Ohio Delegation—Plenty of Hard Work—Conditions Good— Many Professional Men in Camp. June 25, 1917. My Dear Friend Smith:--There are over a thousand Colored men at Fort Des Moines. The situation is ideal on high rolling ground in the suburbs of the capital city. Electric cars make the six miles promptly. The troops are quartered in brick buildings of the fort with all modern improvements, constructed for cavalry. The drill field is two city blocks long and a block wide. The commander is Col. Ballon. Before swearing in the provisional regiment, last Sunday afternoon, the Colonel delivered part of an inspiring speech which he brought to a close briefly, fearing he was not fully heard. I was standing in the eighth line and heard distinctly. He concluded by assuring the men has nothing to worry about this summer what was intended for their good. An impressive scene of 1,000 men upholding right hands. Ohio has a lively delegation. Atty. L. H. Goodman of Columbus, perhaps is as prominent as any. On the "hike" his captain called upon him to lead "Onward Christian Soldiers" and at his company headquarters his legal lore is already recognized. Capt. J. B.

The biggest and the many attractions in the way of liberally patronized. A large number of white friends were in attendance and the affair generally was an exceptionally enjoyable one. Since the coming of Rev. Hicks there has been aroused an energy on the part of our people here such as has never been apparent before.

Hamilton, Esq., and Mr. Cliff Rosehawk. Their talks were regarding the race, and fine. They were heartily applauded. The presiding elder certainly made a wise move when he sent Rev. Mr. Hicks to pastor the local A. M. E. church. "Material progress" is his slogan. Wild Life on St. John Island St. John is extremely interesting as the best remaining example of what the virgin islands were like before their discovery by Columbus for a goodly part of it is simply mountains and forest, where wild pigeons, parrots and other native birds abound. Its scientific interest is further increased by the fact that it was a stronghold of the Carib Indians, who have given their names to the whole region but are now extinct. On some of the rocks in the mountains of St. John there are very perfect and beautiful hieroglyphs left by these aborigines. The Schoolgirl's Mind The mind of a schoolgirl does not proceed like the mind of an adult; it imitates the motions of a grasshopper. It sings in the summer, it dances in the winter, it transforms values, it doubts axioms, it is dogmatic upon impossibilities or what seem such to the adult mind, it compresses dreams into a creed, it has intuitions like the flash of an electric candle, or it plays the bat, but its eyes tight in broad daylight, folds its wings, hooks on to any convenienced excuse, and goes fast asleep—I.

Zion Cong. church, to hear Prof. Kelly Miller lecture. Few people knew that the distinguished educator was in the city until after he had gone and many were grievously disappointed as a result of their failure to hear him. He was known throughout the country as a scholar and publicist, and is dean of Harvard University's school of Arts. Sciences. Among many other good things, he said the white man was a natural monopolist—he had monopolized most everything else and he would like to monopolize natriism; that the issue of war was one of the greatest boons that had come to the Negro; that incidentally he had gained his freedom during the Civil War; that great reforms come quickly in times of stress which it would take hundreds of years to encompass in times of peace; that he had no hesitancy in saying that the great influx of Afro-Americans north, looking for better economic conditions, coupled with the fact that would have a tremendous effect on the court; that this tendency to migrate to the Gulf States, for some time prior to the war, would be momentarily retarded by this new movement to the North, but that they would presently find themselves, and spurred on by their present environment would make themselves a strong economic factor. He said that the same prejudice that the white man of the south had "in front of his face," the white man of the north had "in back of his head," and that our duty was to keep it there.

Issus Oct. 4, 1916. DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA VE IN SIGNS THIS ONE ESS POINTMENT U.S.TROOPS INFRANCE Pershing's Boys,Spick and Span, Cross Sea Safely. Americans Are Already in Camp, Itching to Go to the Front. A French Seaport—Pershing's boys are here! Thousands of them came out of the misty vastness of the sea, a U-boat infested sea that held no terrors for them—not a torpedo scratch on a transport; not a single man lost. Spick and span, with weather-browned faces, their eyes sparkling fight, every one of them every inch a man, they tramped down the gangways to the strains of the Stars and Stripes, into a pandemonium of unending cheers. They are already in camp, itching to get to the front. The camp is not far from here. It is in charge of Gen. William L. Sibert, who came in command of the troops. Pershing came over from Paris to greet them. The remarkable thing about the scenes attending the real entrance of the United States into the world war through the safe arrival of the expeditionary force was the spontaneity, the touching warmth of their reception here. Not an inkling of the arrival had leaked out beforehand. There had been no preparations, no programs with speeches and song, no reception committee or the like. Not until the transports had safely arrived off this port ready to disembark did the momentous news become known. Then the people here simply "got wild." REPLICA OF OLD NICK UNEARTHED BY BOYS Wheeling, W. Va.—The skeleton of a strange animal or pre-historic man that closely resembles Satan as usually pictured, was unearthed on Repman's hill here by several boys. The skull is very much like that of a human being with the exception of two horns which project from just above the temples. In life the man or animal was about four feet high, with a long tail. There are four powerful limbs, each of which has four fingers. The chest is broad and undoubtedly was heavily muscled in the flesh. KILLS HER MATE AS HE SLEEPS OFF DEBAUCH Cumberland, Md.-Mrs. Minnie Carter tied the hands of her husband to a bed while he slept off a debauch at night and fired three shots into him, killing him instantly. Then she ran to a neighbor and announced the tragedy. Mrs. Carter was recently discharged from a hospital and on June 26, she says, her husband, who had been drinking, threw her out of the house. Made desperate by continued abuse, the woman says she used the revolver as her only means of defense. THE MARKETS Grain, Provisions and Live Stock. Cleveland. — Flour — Minnesota patents $14.95.

Wheat and oat fields in many sections were laid low by the wind and rain. Several barns were struck by lightning and consumed by fire. The losses in this vicinity will reach several thousand dollars.

ECONOMY HYSTERIA SUBSIDES Idea Now Followed Is Not to Deprive Seamstresses of Their Livelihood but to Avoid All Unnecessary Display. New York.—In talking to a dress- maker of importance, whose bills to the rich women run into thousands each season, anent this current topic of economy in clothes, she said that she had found less economy among all classes than a strong one to wear clothes that did not express money. Simplify may be very costly, as we all know, was her further ex- planation, and women were paying good prices for their summer apparel, but they made a strong demand that THE Here is an artistic negligence. It is of lapis lazuli crepe, with an overdrapery of ecu lace arranged into full sleeves held by a bracelet of blue beads. it should take upon itself the appearance of costing little. A black satin dinner frock, for instance, built in draped lines, with a bit of good lace at the neck, or merely a distinctive turnover collar of black and white tulle arranged in a modest decouletage, may have cost as much as a black and gold brocade of last season, trimmed with tulle and metal and draped in a daring way that focussed the attention. But the effect of economy was there. The majority of women think that any undue, display of apparel is in bad taste. They feel that the amount of money they pay for their clothes is a private and personal matter; but that any visible and outward display of the high cost of the gown is a public matter, and one that the public has a right to criticize. The question of food is handled in much, the same way. If you have been to anyone of the three-course dinners given by the rich women of the country, you may have had to go home and take soda mint to forestal indigestion. There are three courses; against that there is no discussion. The quantity of food that can be put into three courses forms the interesting part of this subject, but, mind you, the food is not expensive and it is not elaborately prepared. The effect on the one who dines is that the inner man is satisfied with nourishing food perfectly cooked. Onions and potatoes may cost a good deal; rice may have gone up in price; chops may be much higher than mushrooms with a French sauce; but who can gainsay the effect of severe simplicity in the serving of this type of food? Just what the women who serve three courses have done to their cookery is what the women of wealth have done to their clothes. See Effect of Economy. After the first hysteria of war economy was over, women saw its foolishness in regard to apparel. A few facts sufficed to give them a different attitude. When several dozen seamstresses had their engagements canceled for the spring season and were at their wits' end to know how to pay the rent and get food, the women who engaged these seamstresses to come to their houses each season, quickly saw that it was better to pay wages than to give to charity. When hundreds of gowns were thrown back on dressmakers' hands. Use of Art Linen or Chintz Adds Color and Gives More Substantial Body to Exterior Fabric. To give a little color to suits of linen or silk, it is a pretty fad to tie them with art linen or chintz. Besides the cheerful effect, the lining gives a more substantial body to the exterior fabric. Moreover, it can be removed and more readily cleansed than if it is of silk after the regulation manner. An instance in point is a little suit of dark blue tuffaet. The skirt is plaited from a crenelated yoke and hangs in straight lines. The coat is a short model also cut on straight lines and held slightly in about the waist by a belt of black patent leather. The lining is of rose-colored chintz striped by a floral pattern introducing old blue, white and black. The foundation color is reflected in the embroideries that appear in the collar and cuffs of the coat. Love's first sigh is wisdom's last. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1917 CLOTHES SOUGHT on the plea that there would be no money to pay for such extravagance, and the dressmakers were compelled to hold sweeping sales that undervalued whatever clothes the rich women had already bought, a new idea concerning economy was born in the brains of wealthy women. The second movement on the part of masses of women was then directed toward providing money for those who worked, and at the same time eliminating the appearance of waste and extravagance. The same Idea worked well in both directions; it kept the workers employed and gave them sufficient money on which to live; and it did not offend the public. No one wants to appear frivolous or unthinking in a crisis like this. When women are dressed in gold or silver, in jeweled trappings and in precious gems, that vast public that is thinking only of how to live and how to sacrifice, might begin to murmur those terrible sentences of the French people in the revolution. It is the appearance of extravagance, therefore, that women should avoid in these times of stress. Let them spend as liberally for apparel as they can afford, but let all women follow the lead of the wealthy and conservative set and see to it that their clothes reflect this great hour in dignity, seriousness and simplicity. It is interesting to know that Germany is the first of theiligereants to put a restriction on the amount of wearing apparel for each person. The imperial clothing office has fixed the amount of garments that each man or woman may buy or possess during the year. This office also limits the amount of material which may be used in the making of a gown or a suit. No one may purchase a yard of material or a single garment without a special permit. It is also interesting to know what imperial Germany thinks is sufficient in the way of clothing for one woman—two everyday frocks, one Sunday frock, one separate skirt, two blouses, one coat or cape, one shawl, one dressing gown, three aprons, one pair of gloves, a half dozen handkerchiefs, four chemises, three nightgowns, three combinations or bloomers, three petticcots and four pairs of stockings. **Clothes That Appear Well.** It is the comment of all dress-makers that they are compelled to sell gay clothes at half the price of solemn ones. This should be a guide to all those who are preparing to plan the summer wardrobe. There is no idea of substituting black for all colors, as there was in France at the beginning of the war; for we're not facing an invading army and burying masses of our dead. Yet women are choosing frocks with only a bit of white, or Chinese brocade, to enliven them; and beige, sand, white and dull plaids are preferred to red, blue, green and purple. The woman who may have chosen a cloth of gold brown with a tunic over it for last summer, will today choose a frock of white satin with a bit of black tulle at neck and arms, and a girdle of ribbon velvet with a rhinestone buckle. She may pay as much for the one as for the other but she takes her place in the world with more dignity in the latter than in the former frock. Women dine and dance at restaurants as much as they did last season, but instead of choosing the excessively decollete gowns that have been fashionable, they prefer to be seen in frocks of silk and tulle, or lace, that are high at the back and transparent, and have long, transparent sleeves. There is a woman who pays $25 apiece for her glamgh frocks made at an excellent house, and for that high price she could get satin or embroidery jersey; but she wants to do her bit toward that dressmaker by keeping the young girls on salaries during the summer and, at the same time, giving the appearance of simplicity. A number of smart women who lead the styles have taken up striped outing cloth for sports suits, and they have succeeded in giving it character and dash. This ordinary material is made into a plaited skirt and blouse and trimmed with bands of scallops overcast with a buttonhole stitch. There is a turnover collar of white camble, and a high, soft belt $^{4}$ colored suede. They are also making sport jackets of their own, trimming it with broad bands of linen. Often, to match the color of the stripes. (Copyright 1977, by the McClure Newsgroup.) For Falling Hair A simple tonic that will help to arrest falling hair is made by putting half a pound of rosemary into one pint of distilled water and stewing very slowly for several hours. Then strain through flannel and when cold add a quarter of a pint of bay rum. Apply a little to the roots of the hair two or three times a week after well brushing and massaging the scalp. The creams and skin foods and cleansers to be bought are legion, but among the simple remedies that any woman can have in her home are oatmeal, starch and barley. The first is most valuable for softening the bathing water and whitening one's skin; starch used in the bath smooths rough skin and softens the water also, while barley-water is good is a skin fool for washing the face and hands. When you have had a busy day in the kitchen or at some vigorous housework, wash your face with cream or buttermilk and see how it takes away the red, overheated appearance of the skin. Use rain-water for washing the face and hair when you can; it is most satisfactory. A little white of egg rubbed in the face and allowed to dry there is very nourishing and smooths away the tired lines—Mother's Magazine. Embroidered Hat. A pretty little hat of satin has for its only decoration an opened parosol in embroidered floss on the side of the crown VARIETY IN BELTS Easy Matter for Home Sewer to Give Extra Touch to Frock. This Feature of Summer Clothes May Range From Single Chain of Beads to Wide Band of Ribbon. It is difficult to say whether the pocket or the belts give more character to this season's frocks. The truth of the matter is that they share equal honors. The variety of belts that are in favor should make it an easy matter for the home sewer to add that ```markdown ``` Beits of Many Kinds. touch to her frock which makes it different from the next-door woman's frock. The single chain of beads, which is considered smart and which savors of things Grecian, can be easily affected. As a rule, beads of one color are strung on a cord of a different color, and the two carry out the combination of colors used for the frock. On coat suits one will find the use of the jade ring used to hold the belt which has been slipped in two; while on others a bone, leather or cloth buckle will be used as suggested in the sketch. An unusual way to drape a cord or ribbon around the waist is to double it and slip the two ends through the loop which forms the other end. Figured ribbon is employed very often to finish off the waistline. It may be of the polka-dot variety and slipped through a colorful bone ring, or it may be dotted like the ribbon, which is slipped through embroidered loops and edged with fringe. It is not unusual to find a composition belt, made of cord, beads, leather and a bone buckle. A quintet idea to introduce on a frock of thin silk or of organdie is to puff the material and run velvet ribbon through it, either entirely or at regular intervals. The vogue of soutache braid as a trimming suggests the weaving of a belt. PRETTY WASTE PAPER BASKET Colors Used in Making Receptacle Should Harmonize With Those of Room Where It is to Be Used. This decorative "basket" can be carried out in either a small size for the writing table or in a larger size for placing upon the floor.

Stout cardboard is used for the foundation, which is made in seven separate pieces, and then sewed together and afterward finished off with silk cord.

For instance, one towel intended for a departure shower had a horseshoe of French knots embroidered on one end. Four-leaf clovers were also embroidered along the edge. The recipient of such a towel would know that the giver wished her all sorts of good luck. At a line shower given to a girl who intended to live on a farm after her marriage were many towels on which were embroidered things associated with farm life. One towel had a row of roses embroidered along the edge. Another had vegetables embroidered in realistic colors, and on silk, with pale plink sateen for the lining and gold card and gold silk for the embroidery would all be pretty and effective combinations of color in which to carry out this little article. PROTECTING SILK AND SATIN Certain Rules Should Be Followed If Materials Are to Give Satisfactory Service. Silks and satins are being so largely used for the development of dresses, suits and coats that it is important to observe certain rules at the very beginning of their possession if these materials are to give satisfactory service. For example, large pins or needles should never be used either in the fitting of the stitching of silk fabrics. They make permanent holes and, if extra large, break the threads, then the silk tears easily. Dressmakers should be cautioned against the use of such pins and needles. Put new needles in the sewing machine before working on new silks. With old needles, even slightly blunted, the silk is certain to pucker and draw. Be careful in plaiting or ruffling that the iron used is not too hot. An overheated iron will crack any silk. EVEN SCARFS HAVE POCKETS Women Have Become So Accustomed to These Useful Adjuncts That They Are Placed in Accessories. Women have become so accustomed to pockets that it has been found necessary to incorporate those useful adjuncts even in accessories which herefore have dispensed with them. In particular the pocket addition is noticeable on the new scarfs of satin and tule and likewise on those made of fur and designed with special reference to their summer requirements. The linings of the new scarfs are of satin or of chiffon, sometimes shirred, plaited or gathered, and it is in the folds of these that the pocket is inserted. It is not a conspicuous feature, being only large enough to hold the handkerchief, the small purse or the vanity case. STOUT OR SLENDER? COPPER M PATTERN & DESIGNER No doubt many stout women have looked with envy upon their slimmer sisters, smartly attired in the latest style of military suit, a costume that becomes nearly all women. There is no cause for envy, as the stout lady can look just as attractive if she will adopt the newly designed swetting models, which are made for stout women. This military suit for the large woman is cleverly designed by the new swetting method to give long, slender lines, combined with a youthful up-to-the-minute appearance. Square Necks. The square-necked blouse or bodice is a pretty, fashion rendered doubly so in its modern development, for the square is either deep enough to allow of the whole thing slipping over the head (cotta-fashion) or else is provided with a clipped fastening just at the neck on the shoulder to permit of this very easy means of entrance. A particularly pretty example of the latest square-necked blouse provides for the material to be gathered to the edge by a square yoke, and looks equally charming in crepe de chine, muslin, Japanese silk or any of the materials now in vogue. some various animals were outlined. Every one knows that a boy abhors anything that is fancy, but there is not a boy who would object to a towel on which the words "Here's for a Good Swim" are embroidered. The idea may suggest a practical gift the next time you don't know what to give the boy when the occasion demands a little remembrance. Sports Coats. Smart sports coats, untrimmed, are made of Italian green, old blue, white or yellow serge montonne or peau de chameau. They are ample in form, with generous collars, cuts and pockets, after the fashion of sports coats. On one of these coats, in yellow, is a fitted removable muffler collar of yellow tissue, which may be replaced at will by one of dull blue or black, in which case a blue or a black hat is worn with it. Loose coats of plaid woolen stuff are new and very striking. These are worn with soft hats of similar pattern. Britain employs 500,000 women making war munitions. A NEW BLOUSE TYPE Peplum blouses have made rather a determined effort during two entire seasons immediately past to gain general favor. But they have been accorded rather uncertain attention. In the first place, it is difficult to wear a peplum blouse becoming. It is unbecoming to the average figure and should be selected only by women with slender and youthful lines. However, the one now appearing is different from its predecessors, says the Washington Star. Instead of the Smart Peplum Blouse. basque type of blouse, the very latest model is a trifle shortwaisted, giving the figure a modified empire silhouette. If the blouse is developed in very soft, clinging fabric it has some very good style possibilities. The sketch shows a blouse made entirely of georgette. This model would also develop attractively in fine handkerchief linen. It buttons in the center back, and the front of the blouse is cleverly cut, so that the wide sash girdle is in one with it, and this is Beautiful Skin, Outward Sign of Inward Health, Depends Most of All on Perfect Digestion. True beauty comes from within, instead of from without. A healthy skin is the outward sign and the natural result of inward health. A muddy or dingy skin is evidence of the presence of poisons—polens that are more than skin deep. It means the accumulation of tissue wastes and particles of wornout material lying about the cells of the body, clogging the tissues, interfering with all the functions of the skin, clogging the brain, paralyzing the nerve centers and enervating the bodily energies. A dingy skin cannot be cured by external applications. Cosmetics may conceal the evidence of external grimness, but the grimness itself must be got rid of by a simple and pure diet. A natural diet of fruits, grain and nuts is most conducive to a clear, healthful and beautiful complexion. Cheese, oysters, sausage, rich pastries, condiments and foods of this kind conduce to the production of hollow cheeks, dark-circled eyes and a leather skin, which no cosmetics, baths or external applications of any sort can remedy. Clean living is required to produce a clear skin—one that is clean all the way through, and transparent enough to let the bright, pure blood coursing in the arteries beneath shine through, thus producing the bloom of health. A beautiful skin depends most of all upon perfect digestion. The processes of digestion have a direct bearing upon the color of the cheeks, which usually show pretty well whether a woman is enjoying good health and is free from digestive disorders. USE LEATHER AS TRIMMING Idea is Expected to Be Extended From Motor Coats to Suits, Dresses and Even Millinery. One of the possible results of the military styles being featured this season is the greater use of leather by way of trimming. While heretofore certain of the motor coats have shown collars, cuffs and belts of suede, or of glazed leather, it is now anticipated that suits, dresses, wraps and even millinery will be decorated with leather in various colors, and in schemes necessitated by the fact that such garniture will be, in effect, the byproduct or waste of large skins used for army purposes. Thus, as has been proved frequently in the history of dress, novelty will be the outcome of economy and necessity. To Clean Gloves. New white kid gloves may be cleaned by rubbing with a cloth dampened with milk and rubbed on with soap. After gasoline has been used on the gloves this method fails. PUTTING IN THE SKIRT HEM Home Dressmaker Can Do Job Smoothly With Woolen Frocks by Means of Shrinking. Home dressmakers frequently find it difficult to put in the hem of a woolen frock smoothly. This can be done with little trouble by means of shrinking. Place a damp cloth over the hem and press from the lower edge of the skirt toward the top. All the extra fullness can be entirely shrunk out, providing the hem is not too wide. This method does away with small plats usually found in a hem, the lines of which are almost sure to show on the outside of the skirt when the hem is pressed. In finishing the edge of the hem do not turn the cloth in. Baste the raw edge flat to the other part of the skirt and over this edge lay a flat piece of seam binding. Seed the edge that does not go through the right side with silk or cotton thread, but the top edge should be sewed with a thread of the fabric, drawn from a lengthwise piece of the material, not crosswise. drawn to the back, where it is tiled in a soft loop and end bow. A cluster of tiny tucks at the neck opening in front gives a dainty finish to the blouse. Several rows of hemstitching indicate the upper edge of the girdle. Blouses that button in the back and the slipover models are unquestionably leaders, except in distinctly sport garments, and even in these the slipover model is seen. FROCKS OF JUMPER VARIETY Idea Carried Out by Bib Effect in Front and Sometimes in Back, of Same Material as Skirts. Some of the afternoon dresses for summer seem to be modeled somewhat on the idea of a bretelle or jumper dress. There is a bib effect in front, and sometimes in back, of taffeta, satin or of whatever the skirt may be made. This allows considerable of the blouse, of a thinner material, to show, which gives a light and cool appearance to the dress. The sleeves often stop between the elbow and wrist. The loose pagoda or coat sleeve type of sleeves are most favored, because they are new and particularly suited for summer wear. They are not cut too wide, about sixteen inches in circumference at the lower edge. Fonlard silk in coin spots or pencil stripes is the favorite material for these jumper dresses. The guipmes are of lingerie or georgette crepe. Jumper frocks of linen also are seen, those made of washable satin combined with net. Georgette crepe is still considered the ideal fabric for afternoon dresses, and volles, both cotton and silk, which have the charm of newness. Plain and figured volle are combined with artistic effect in lovely afternoon gowns. The upper part may be of the figured or checked volle with the lower part of the plain.

Don't you think that her costume is the striking and sportive affair that every young miss likes to wear? The frock is of red and white striped Yosan, combined with white La Jerz. Parasols for Summer The parasol, which has been somewhat neglected for several summers, is again high in favor. In its new form it is delightfully fanciful, and both care and ingenuity have been expended upon its fashioning. Those most practical are, of course, in the plain one-tone effects in dark or medium coloring, and of these there is an ample supply in all the modish colorings. To be smart, one of these plain parasols must have an effective handle, and in recognition of this fact the manufacturers have been bringing out handles that are beautiful and exceedingly clever in design. The bright-hued enamels are particularly effective, and they go well with the gay hues of sports hats and sports costumes. These gleaming enamels come in beautiful reds, greens, blues, purples, yellows and rose tints. Sewing or hemming with a thread of the material is a little secret that even dressmakers know of, and its practice will give the most satisfactory results. This method makes the stitches as invisible as the weave of the cloth and should be used in every part of the suit or dress where invisible sewing is desired. Of course some fabrics will not permit of theraveling of the threads, but wherever possible the method should be tried out. Pinchback Sweaters. The pinchback, which has been so popular in men's coats, is entering largely into sweater styles this summer. Persian stripe skirt is made with one, which is belted and has a deep collar effect. It also comes in pink, turquise and other shades. Glass-Handled Umbrellas in Vogue. A novelty in sunshades is the cut-glass handle, which is shown in colored plain and figured glass, also with tiny glass flowers imbedded in the crook, and wreathed round the stick.
