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 promoted by white citizens of wealth and prominence in New York City for the purpose of measuring 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 benefit of the people so controlled. He has argued the case to an extent from this angle, but we have not done so. Out of his case, although he has made a sledgehammer attack against the compromising attitude of the organization upon some vital questions—the condoning of evil that good may come. On vital racial questions, Hon. H. C. Smith is now and always has been as true "as the needle to the pole". 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, who 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 the truth, we have 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 purposes of the organization, and discussions and if Bitor H. C. Smith's institutions 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 there was nothing in the editorial in question to justify the "grandstand" position, and bid for sympathy, taken by the alleged "Turkish cigarette-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 confrere Editor John Mitchell, of the Richmond Planet. 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 right of every race to exist and develop under the just reign of law, to enter into everything that makes for the good of humanity, that safeguards the welfare of itself and its coming generations, must be accorded. America can slavery succeed in the face of this weakness in itself making this weakness a sure means by which the other races might exploit it. A great step will be taken when this one evil has been uprooted. The race has in no greater degree than any other race, definencies. 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, to the detriment of the entire 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 vex tige of backbone and manhood. A general dissatisfaction with being known as a real Negro working in the real Negro of the race. The vex tige with which certain members claim 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 citizen, wherever the stars and stripes float. 2nd. We 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 ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. brutal war that is going on before which Christianity is prostrated. The church is the tool of the politician and the despot in this war. It is for the 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 have. No form of education 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 presiding, their lives, and especially those of their brethren. This protection should not be offensive but defensive. No other race should be injured in protecting our rights, while 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 grounding of individuals into strong bands to establish and maintain commercial and business enterprises. SAMMIES IN WAR TO WIN Ire Is Aroused When They Learn Woes of France. American Troops Will Be On Front Sooner Than Was Calculated. BY DANIEL DILLON. With the American Expeditionary Army in France.—(Passed by Censor.) At the end of the first week of the 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 editor 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 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 had by the representatives in 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 endorse this idea are asked to speak out in their columns. It is hoped that men of known ability, both in business and the profession, will respond to their opinion as to the wisdom of such a congress. 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 touching the happiness and progress of the race. As a result of this congress, Negroes who live north and those who remain south will enjoy American freedom as never before. NOTICE. Real estate is a serious business. It ought to be handled by people who know values, abstracts, deeds and mortgages. A lot of fakers have pushed into the business to catch the stranger.

GARRISON'S SNUFFBOX FOUND DENNISON, O.—Workmen removing stone from the site of the old Wesleyan meeting house at Leesville have found a shell snuff box inscribed "William L. Garrison, 1826." Leesville was one of the stations in the famous underground railroad by which slaves were taken to Canada. Garrison, not abolitionist, spoke at the meeting house several times. Change for Wedding March Change for Wedding March. “Custom,” says a writer in the Woman’s Home Companion, “was decreed, to be sure, that the simplest and most conventional musical program for a wedding in church is, as someone has tersely expressed it: ‘Lo-hengrin to go in on. Mendelssohn to go out on, and something soft during the ceremony.’ Something a bit different would be ‘Tanumuser’ to go in on and “Swedish Wedding March.” from “Hochzeit zu Wulfssberg” to go out on.” Origin of Biscuits Biscuits are said to have been invented by chance in the year 1550 in France. It was the accidental result of an order given by King Henri to produce a cake that could not be secured anywhere else in the kingdom. The little son of a village baker baked the cake for which his father had made the dough, twice instead of once. This is also the origin of the name of "his cuits," which translated means baked twice. Mirages Caused Two Wrecks Mirenga it see recently proved disastrous shift in Australian waters.

SAMMIES IN WARTOWIN Ire Is Aroused When They Learn Woes of France. American Troops Will Be On Front Sooner Than Was Calculated. BY DANIEL DILLON. With the American Expeditionary Army in France.—(Passed by Censor.) At the end of the first week of the American expeditionary army in France one fact stands out above all others: America must send me—a million men. Widows People France. Food conditions in France are, if anything, better than they had been reported to be. There is a sufficiency of food supplies, though to say that there is plenty would be exaggerating. Widows people this land. Mourning is the national costume. The spirit of the people is indomitable, but weary. "We have done our duty to our home country, to the world, to democracy," the say, "Let America not serve." The American troops have caught the spirit that comes from a true understanding of the situation. Armory at Kaiser. No hatred is shown by our troops to the German war prisoners, only pity. But the woes of France are invoking a deep-rooted fight against the kaiser. Our men seem to grasp that they are fighting for, and are resolved to triumph. Our casualties will be heavy. The country must be prepared for terrible losses. The administration details are being conducted admirably. Many here predit that the Americans, with their characteristic spirit of initiative, will surpass even the Canadians in successful trench warfare. Indications are that our troops will be on the front sooner than was calculated. They are needed to stimulate the allies' offensive. SHIP CARRYING PAY TO SOLDIERS IS ATTACKED Washington, D. C.—Two days after German submarines made their attacks on the transports carrying the American expeditionary forces to France, an attack was made by U-boats on a big navy transport carrying gold to pay the American troops and a large cargo of provisions. The transport escaped with the aid of American destroyers. These facts have just become known in cable dispatches received here. The conflict occurred near the French coast. In the fight were the transport, two American torpedo destroyers and two German submarines. The warships held off the submersibles, forcing them into a position from which their fire was without effect. The transport headed for shore, going dangerously close to shallow water, but the strategy employed enabled it to be less free from attack by the U-boats. I. W. W. ORGANIZER IS HELD AS TEUTON AGENT Scranton, Pa.—Charged with being an agent for the German government, Joseph Graber, 33, organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World, was arrested here. It was revealed that the numerous strikes and agitations of the I. W. W. in this and Luzerne counties were stirred up in whole or in part by Graber and other agents of Germany who were said to have been plentifully supplied with money in the hope of lessening the coal production. United States District Attorney McCourt in discussing the arrest said: "Our information shows that German money has been poured into the anthracite field in an effort to cause strikes." Graber, according to McCourt, came to this country under an assumed name. Government agents have kept him under close surveillance. Noted English Actor Dilea London. — Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the actor, is dead. When Sir Henry Irving died the leadership of the British stage passed to his younger and fellow actor-knight, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Sir Herbert was 64. His position in London was an enviable one. Since the war Sir Herbert has made more than one tour of America. His gorgeous production of King Henry VIII, in which he played Cardinal Wolsey, was the most notable of his achievements seen here. DR. D. S. MALEKEBU.

Harry Spencer Blackiston, who graduated recently from the University of Pennsylvania with the degree of Bachelor of Science and received honorable mention in contest for best essay in Latin, has also won the George Schlicher prize and medal for excellent work in the German language. Lieut. Col. Charles Young says that he has never felt better in his life, and that he has never enjoyed better health, and that he is fully physically fit to continue in the active service of the army. Col. Young is at Letterman General Hospital, the Presidio, San Francisco, Cal., where he was sent, last month, by the War Department. His "blood pressure" won't be "too high" one year from today. See if it is. A FORCED SOLUTION. The south at last is becoming aroused to the fact that its future depends upon a more just and wise handling of its Negro problem than has yet been bestowed upon it. And while that discovery is inspiratory, it is an awakening nevertheless. The Negro exodus from the south has reached such proportions and is going on so steadily that the labor supply of that great section of the country is more than menaced. Something Now it is "Hon." Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Why? That prefix has become about as common and "meaningless" as "Prof." and "Dr." The government has refused to duplicate the Des Moines, Iowa, officers' training camp. It is too much segregation. New Orleans Catholics deny that a colorline is drawn in any of their churches of that city and we are pleased to know it. Dr. Wm. Gibbs was refused entrance, as an interne, to the City Hospital of Indianapolis, Ind., last week, after winning the appointment in a competitive examination. July 4, a holiday, coming in the middle of the week has prevented the publication of a number of our regular letters and articles, that were delayed in the mails. Dr. Charles H. Garvin, a graduate of Howard University, Cleveland, O. has accepted a commission as lieutenant with the Surgical Unit raised by Dr. Crile of Cleveland, now in France for immediate service in that country.

Judge Butler, of the West Chester Pa., County Court, handed down a decision in favor of Mrs. Decaebe Simms, who refused to send her children to a "jin crow" basement school room in Downington, Pa. The court decision ends a bitter battle, between Mrs. Simms and the school board of that town.

And while that discovery is involuntary, it is an awakening nevertheless. The Negro exodus from the south has reached such proportions and is going to be the labor of that great section of the country is more than menaced. Something akin to ruin threatens southern agriculture and manufacturing unless it is stopped. And the south is abandoning the opinion that the Negroes who are going north are being deceived by unscrupulous employment agencies and will soon return to their old homes. It has become apparent that the Negroes are the cause of assurance from those who went ahead of them that they will receive higher wages, more considerate personal treatment and better living conditions in the north than they can get in the south. So in the more progressive southern states the realization is gaining ground that if they do not wish to lose the Negro they will be deceived by the conviction is dawning upon them that if they do not make their laws apply to black and white alike, he will go where they do. They are beginning to see that they cannot hold him, when he finds out that he has better recognition as a man in the north than in the south, unless they change their attitude toward him. And this is the only way the great problem of the Negroes can be stayed solved. Its adoption will begin a mighty era of progress for both the south and the Negro—Cleveland Daily Leader. Extracting Broken Screw. A tool for extracting broken set screws is described by the Scientific American as resembling a drill with a coarse left-handed thread. A hole is crilled into what remains of the screw or bolt, the extractor is inserted, and as it turns it exerts a reverse influence on the broken screw and backs the latter out on its own thread. If the sugar planters of the West Indies are wise they will pay more attention to fruit as a concomitant product with cane, and devote some of their idle acres to its cultivation, and also to the establishing of fruit canning factories, the results of which have proved so profitable in the northern islands.—Exchange.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS To Utilize Sugar. The Clinging Vine. A TIMELY COUNSEL FOR GRADUATES HIGHEST IDEALS ADVOCATED In Stirring Address Isaac Fisher Tells What Is Really Needed if Democracy Is to Live and Spread Its Spirit Throughout the World For the Good of Mankind. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Vn.—Hampton institute has just sent forth ninety-four vocationally trained graduates to carry the message of "education for service" to colored, Indian and white people throughout the nation. Principal H. B. Frissell, in presenting the diplomas and certificates, in part said: "We give you these diplomas as a very slight evidence of the confidence we have that in the days to come you will be true to Hampton, true to your country, true to your God." Dr. Frissell referred to the school's recent memorial service at the grave of General Armstrong, where all had consecrated themselves anew to the service of their country. "You have caught the vision of the kingdom which is to come," he said—"the better world which Christ has made possible through you; and now, today, you go forth to bear the great message—the message of love to all mankind. Your eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. You have seen great nations turning from the selfish rule of autocracy to the blessed and better rule of democracy, and you, too, are going to help this nation to understand what real democracy means. You are going forth to serve this great country." Isaac Fisher, university editor, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., in his address on "The Rebirth of the World After the War," in part said: "When this cruel war is over the task before mankind will be to rebuild the world—to rebuild its wasted cities and to repair so far as possible the staggering economic loss which the great struggle has enabled. This will not, however, be of major importance by the side of the real task. The reconstruction to which this world war points with imperative hand is the rebuilding of the hearts and spirits of men. When the world takes up the new work, which it must do after the war, the new teachings of home and school and church and press must be not dominion, not power, not force, not arrogance, not racial prescriptions, but the virtue and conquering value of the humble and contrite heart filled with love for all and the meekness which shall inherit the earth. * * * * "You can help make it easier for democracy by seeking to come into the possession of common ideals—the highest ideals of the nation, those ideals which represent Christ. You can help make it easy by learning the beautiful things that have helped make civilization grand and glorious through the years and by making those ideals your own—not ideals of colored people, not ideals of red men, not ideals of white men, but the ideals of Christianity. What are some of those ideals? First of all there is righteousness. You can make it easy by standing for the kind of service that makes the good of all the people the highest aim of life. "If this war is to prove anything it is that men may not hereafter think in terms of race. White people cannot think any more, after this great world tragedy is over, in terms of the white race. The black race cannot think any more in terms of their own little social group. To everybody watching on the far dung battle lines of Europe almost all of the artificial distinctions of castle and race have been obliterated. The lesson which burns itself into the consciousness of people is that men hereafter shall live for the one common good. "We must insist that schools like Hampton, where the Negro sees the white people at their best and where a common meeting ground is established for all the races, shall be maintained for years and years to come. "I want Tuskegee to remain forever as Dr. Washington built it—manned and conducted by colored men and women and a monument to their ability and genius; but I want Hampton and schools like it to endure as open pathways to mutual understanding and mutual help. "See to it that schools of the Hampton type remain forever, where we can get together and understand each other in the only understanding that is going to make peace possible throughout the length and breadth of this land." The student speakers included Edward B. Robinson, Glasgow, Ky., history; Leotta H. Hill, Yazoo City, Miss; poem; Leotta F. Cotton, Mount Holly, N. J., will; Thomas J. Potter, Millwood, Va., prophecy; Richard H. Bland, Suffolk, Va., free speech; Blanche E. Brown, Providence, R. L., salutatory; Solomon A. Davis, Norfolk, Va., valedictory; "Modern Progress."

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 in justice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last fiaculties. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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. Another warning to our people, to provide their homes with a U. S. army riot gun and plenty of ammunition for it, are the East St. Louis riots. Some weeks ago the Gazette carried an extended leader on this very thing. A report issued by the government says our people make up nearly a third of the population of the southern states, and that their illiteracy, since 1863, has decreased from 90 to 30 per cent. This beats the record of the poor whites in that section. According to Monroe N. W. work's lynching record, there have been fourteen lynchings during the first six months of this year; twenty-five during the first six months of last year, and thirty-four during the same period of the preceding year, 1915. Thirteen of those lynched, this year, were members of the race, only three of whom were charged (not convicted) with the crime of rape. One of the lynch-murdered a woman of the race, reported to have been of unsound mind, and lynched for resisting arrest and wounding an officer of the law. The East St. Louis, Ill., riots have broken out again and, no doubt, are "painted blacker" in the daily newspapers than they really are, just as was the case in the first instance, some weeks ago. Nevertheless, they are bad enough. It seems that prejudiced persons in that city, undoubtedly encouraged from the South, are determined to promote and inaugurate, if possible, similar riots throughout the North against all newcomers of color from the South. The emigration of our people from that section to this has given the South a much-needed lesson and deserved punishment that has apparently wounded deeply, we are pleased to say. Monday night, at the corner of E. 30th St. and Central Ave., a young Italian insulted a woman of the race, a common occurrence here of late in that section of the city. The woman appealed to Officer Charles Smith, secretary to the Chief of Police, who happened to be standing at the corner and had witnessed a part, if not all, of the proceedings, it seems. He arrested the Italian and sent him to the third precinct police station in a patrol wagon after a terrific encounter in which he was assisted by a friend, another member of the race. The Italian not only struck the woman but also threatened her with a razor or knife, it is said. This is the condition the Maschke-Davis administration has permitted the Central Ave. vicinity and Ward 11 to degenerate to and is making practically no effort to improve, largely because our local Minister's Alliance seems afraid to demand better police protection for the section of the city most largely populated by our people. Officer Smith is entitled to considerable praise for the manner in which he handled the matter. There is at least one good result of the Cleveland Daily Press' publication, the first of the week, of "Starlight" Boyd's unwise and extravagant statements, and that is, they have apparently opened the eyes of the better class of our people to a real and aggravating political condition in ward 11, the final recognition of which will prove very helpful, this fall, in getting our people to vote right. That is vote for the other Republican candidate for mayor and NOT for Mayor Davis whose "colored leader" "Starlight" poses as being. Tom Fleming councilman, is "Star" first lieutenant, it seems, and not the Maschke Davis "colored leader" for ward 11 A FINE CONDITION, ISN'T IT? The statement that "10,000 Negro voters have come to Cleveland in the last 18 months from the South" and that "by the fall of 1918, we'll have 15,000 Negro voters in the city" is not true and positively ridiculous as well as harmful, like the rest of the alleged interview with the individual About three thousand of our people have come to Cleveland in the pass year and a half. A SOUTHERN MAN PLAYS THE SOUTH. Taylor Kennedy, for two years managing editor of the Montgomery (Ala). Advertiser, writes the New York Evening Post a story that is pathetic and intensely interesting. His theme, "The Negro Exodus from the South," is the truth that state conditions in the South as they really are and the reasons why Negroes are leaving. His first article apeared Saturday, May 26, and the other two followed, June 2 and 9. Every colored man interested in a tragic statement of conditions that are worse than the slavery of the eighteenth century should read these stories. There are some of the remarkable statements. First, the South considers it owns the Negro and may do with him what it please. 2nd, it has systematically robbed and cheated him for fifty years. 3rd, it believes any one is middling, if he attempts to change the conditions of the Negro in the South. 4th, it deprived the Negro of education in order that he might not know how bad he was being cheated, and would be content with his lot. 5th, mules they worked, and the houses in which they live are a disgrace to civilization as well as a menace to life and health. 6th, Negroes left the farm and came into the city in order that their lives might be relieved of a portion of the misery and suffering they endured in the country. 7th, wages in the city for girls are $1.50 to $2.50 per week. 8th, young colored men came into the city, and from the dwellings, brazenly robbed colored people and from the blood money of helpless colored men built fine churches. 10th, it has grown to be a thing which one feels is wrong for a white man to rob a Negro. 11th, as the lowest state of poverty and want, and when a colored man can no longer work and give money to rich land owners, the poor blacks are turned out to die. Charity from benevolent people all over the country relieved the awful sufferings of colored people last winter. 12th, the illiteracy in these states is appalling—so much so till Alabama is now teaching white men and women between the ages of 13th and 14th. 13th, Negroes hearing of a better wage are determined to go and better their condition. To prevent them from going, every unlawful scheme is being used. Emigrant agents are taxed $500 for the state and $250 for the county. 14th, as a result of this foolish policy, the South has lost billions of dollars while a few land barons are very rich but the rank and file of whites and blacks are poor for not being educated and those that are, don't produce fifty per cent of what they should. The above conditions, Mr. Kennedy states, prevail now in Alabama and in fact in all of the southern states. In view of the existence of Tuskegee institute in that state and the long years of service of Mr. Washington in Alabama, one is dumbfounded and asks himself, have we been deceived and buncoed by pledged reports when the institution made by the colored farmers in Alabama? The facts are, during all the years Mr. Washington labored in Alabama, the colored people and poor whites were being reduced to abject and shameful slavery. Southern men are on the board of trustees of Tuskegee school and these southern men dictate the policy of that institution. The institution of Tuskegee and its graduates, Alabama is the lowest in the scale of illiteracy and poverty. The teachers of Tuskegee institute are compelled to say that southern "white folks are the Negroes' best friends." Every Negro that is teaching a school of any importance in the South must subscribe to this infamous lie. Through the school-system, the South has compelled the educated colored man and woman of Tuskegee and its graduates of the South" or get out of the South. This southern white man who lived there for years and published a paper, dares to lay bare before the American people the slavery that exists in every southern state. He has taken his life in his hands in order that he might arouse a dormant nation to the conditions of this democracy where tyranny is the rule. The colored educated men and women are the tools of a "wicked system" which has destroyed the very essence of manhood in the colored race. The southern white man is America's worst enemy. In spite of the U. S. Constitution and our boasts of democracy, the southern white man has kept alive a gallling slavery in this land for 50 years and under this hell of oppression the life of an entire race has been made a by-word. Northen white men today who go South and see the injustice practiced upon Negroes dare not speak out against it there for fear of being lynched. Colored men lie in order to stay there and eke out a miserable existence. INDUSTRIAL education was seized upon us a ruse to deprive the colored race of every kind. Tuskegee and Hamp institutes have been permitted to exist, only as a sham. The education of the whole race has been sacrificed to keep alive these two work shops out of which goes the sentiment of cringing submission and lieing pandering to whatever wickedness the South may do. The South has taken away the south and yet ninety percent of the principals and Negro teachers of the South go over this land telling the people "the southern white man is the Negro's best friend." God save us from such friendship. PAPRIKA RAISED IN SOUTH Pepper Which Was Formerly Imported From Spaig and Hungary Now • Grown in United States. Ten years ago agents of the bureau of plant industry turned their attention to paprika pepper. We don't know what headed them toward pepper, and the report of their work doesn't tell us, says a writer in Everybody's. Paprika pepper is probably a mighty small item in our national food budget. Up to that time we imported it that we need from Hungary. Mr. Kennerly has done the Negro a great service. He has attacked the most gigantic evil of the present day —southern wickedness. Between Germany and the South, yea between any place and the South, give us the place and deliver us from the religious hypocrites and murderers of the South. There are a few silent southernners who do not condone the policy of the South, and as such they do not help any. The colored man that advises the colored race to remain in the South is an enemy worse than the devil. The way to bring the South to her knees is for every self-respecting colored man to leave it. THIS IS A SURE WEAPON! Between the submarines of Germany and the hellish ways of southern autocrats the submarine is more humane. The day for the rule of the South is over. The day for the rule of the South is over another simply because one is black, has passed. We must fight the southern oligarchy with more determination than we do anything else. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. CAN'T RIDE ON FAST TRAINS Italian Soldiers Resort to Many Tricks to Evade Order When Going Home on Leave of Absence. One of the most frequent causes of arrests of soldiers of the Italian army is not for drunken or disorderly conduct, but for violation of the order that when given leave of absence to visit their homes they shall ride on slow and not express trains. Soldiers exert all their ingenuity to evade the order. They are always in a hurry to reach their homes, after many months' absence, and as they generally reserve but a narrow margin of their leave for the return trip, they are in a hurry to arrive at their posts before it expires. Since the reduction of fast trains on the railroads, as a coal-saving measure, policemen have been stationed on each fast train to prevent soldiers, who ride free, from traveling on them. Recently on the Rome-Florence express a policeman found a big, healthy-looking soldier who, of course, had no paid ticket. "What are you doing here?" demanded the policeman. "I'm going home from the hospital," answered the soldier. "You don't look as if you had ever seen the inside of one," the other returned. The soldier silently*threw back his cape with his left hand. His entire right arm and shoulder blade were missing. "I guess you've earned the right to ride on the expresses," said the policeman and passed on. PLATE BETTER THAN BRIDGE Cannot Be Used by Dentists in Preparing Men, for War, However, As It Is Barred by Army. "The most conscientious dentists are avoiding crowns and bridges wherever possible," said Dr. Frank S. Delano of New York, secretary of the Dentists' Preparedness association, in discussing the difficulties the 200 members of this association are having with putting the mouths of would-be recruits into condition for their acceptance by the army and navy. "The navy will accept men with plates to replace teeth they have lost; the army will not, but makes no objection to men with crowns and bridges." continued Doctor Delano. "Men come to us to have their teeth put into condition, and we should like to make plates for them, but as the army recruiting officers reject men with plates, we have to put in bridges. This is unfortunate, because a bridge means the certain death before long of the two teeth to which it is anchored. "The general public ought to know this about bridgework. Many people object to a plate, but they would not if they knew they were saving money by it. After the anchor teeth die, trouble begins; very soon the teeth have to come out, and either a larger bridge or a plate is necessary. If a larger bridge be put in, it means the death of two more teeth, and ultimately you have to come to the plate." The Essentials of Gardening The essentials for successful gardening on a small or large scale are soil, water and cultivation. Much depends also on the grower, the season and the crops selected. The soil is the storehouse of plantfood. The garden, therefore, should contain humus or rotted material in large quantities. The gardener should remember that about 50 per cent of ordinary earth is not soil at all, but consists of air and water. Water makes plantfood that is present freely soluble. Rain and snowwater are soft and contain ammonia. The magic of soft water on the plant world is one of the miracles of good gardening, as everyone who has contrasted the effect of rain with that produced by sprinkling with a hose realizes. Plants are succulent and contain large amounts of water which they have to draw from the soil. He Will Consult His Pastor.

Ten years ago agents of the bureau of plant industry turned their attention to paprika pepper. We don't know what headed them toward pepper, and the report of their work doesn't tell us, says a writer in Everybody's. Paprika pepper is probably a mighty small item in our national food budget. Up to that time we imported all that we used from Hungary and Spain. Our agents studied the characteristics of the plant, and the soil, climate and cultivation that it required. Then they came back to this country to discover where paprika pepper could be profitably grown. Down in Florence county, South Carolina, they found what appeared to be the required soil, climate and labor conditions. Moreover, the land there was not giving a really profitable account of itself. After the department agents had proved by their own experiments that paprika pepper could be successfully grown in South Carolina, they furnished its seed to a group of farmers who agreed to grow it under their directions. This was to insure a product of proper standard. The industry is now fairly well established, and if ever we should be at war with Hungary and Spain at the same time, probably South Carolina could supply all the jaded palates of this country with a standard brand of paprika pepper. ENGLISH PRODIGAL OF FOOD Average Family of Great Britain Has Not Had a Meager Diet Even With the War Raging. For the first two years of the war, and until a few months ago, there was little curtailment of foodstuffs in the average English family. The English are heavy eaters, remarks a writer in Farm and Fireside. The climate calls for plenty of food. And the average English family hasn't had a meager diet, even with war raging. An illustration of this is the fact that German prisoners in England have three liberal meals a day, and even then some of the British have insisted their prisoners ought to be better fed. Like ourselves, the English have been prodigal of their food and haven't until lately seen the need of strictly conserving the supply. In addition to this disposition to wastefulness, the English have had to divert large supplies of foodstuffs to France and Italy, as well as to help out Belgium. The French and Italians live much more sparingly in normal times than the British. But they have been hampered by an enormous draft of men for the army and consequent interference with agriculture.

Fate is treacherous and soonest betrays those who depend most upon it. It helps only those determined to help themselves by acting out their desires. Luck, too, is faithless and laughs at the man who too strongly puts his trust in it. It generously spreads a golden glow upon the achievements of the man who rows as he prays, but for the man who does not strive it has only mockery.—Exchange. Kitchen Cars Built for Troop Trains Kitchen cars that are individually of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of a fair-sized hotel are being carried with the long troop trains operated on one of the Canadian railways between military training camps and the seaboard. They have been constructed to facilitate the dining service so that meals can be prepared for several hundred men and served without confusion or delay, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Each of these mobile kitchens occupies an entire car, is equipped with a 10-foot range, steam-cooking apparatus, a spacious refrigerator and other necessary paraphernalia. This is all installed on one side and inclosed by a long table extending the full length of the car. A passageway is provided between this counter and unobstructed wall, so that waiters can enter and leave the kitchen without disorganizing the work of the eight cooks and helpers. Very Human Proverbs Replying to a toast, Chinese Consult Moy Hain said in Portland: "When I desire to make an American better acquainted with the Chinese I quote some of our Chinese proverbs for him. These proverbs show that we, like you, can see one another's faults and laugh at them. "Our temperance proverbs are rather good. There's one. It is not wine that makes a man drunk; it is the man himself. And another. 'A red-nosed man may be a teetotaler, but nobody will believe it.' "We have a feminist proverb—'A man thinks he knows, but a woman knows better.'" Roots Must Have Room. The yield of cotton is dependent upon the number of flowers we are able to induce the plant to form, and root space is necessary to flowering. The cotton plant's normal rooting may occupy two square yards of earth, which is several times more than given it in practice, and the yield may often be reduced by this fact as the roots must interlap.

Steps Are Taken by the Government to End the Spy Menace. Washington, D. C. - The spy hunt has brought these developments: 1- German agents, through German marine insurance companies here, knew details of the sailing of Pereshig's troops. 2- A censorship which will prevent the dispatching of a cable message or the letter during troop movements is contented with measures to protect American forces on the seas. 3- Secretaries Lansing, Baker and Daniels and George Creeal held a long conference details of this censorship. It will cover outgoing and incoming messages and authority may be asked of congress to make it effective. 4- Congress, on its own initiative, is preparing to act to end the spy menace. Information obtained by spies here can be traced by way of Mexico was definitely shown. 5- A great central intelligence bureau, into which every secret agency of the government will report, is being worked out. The main headquarters of all American intelligence forces are surpassed even by the German bureau at Berlin. 6- Legislation was discussed to give the president power to isolate the United States by forbidding any person to leave troops and send messages during troop movements. While all official Washington was puzzling its head to determine how Forman spies could obtain information of the movements of our troops, a letter received by a high secret service official showed how, through their marine insurance agencies, the Germans are able to learn the inmost details of American plans.

Gould, Jr., youngest son of the millionaire banker, was quietly married to Miss Laura M. Carter of Freehold, N. J. The bride is said to have been a dancer. So unostentatious was the wedding of the New York millionaire's son that even the Rev. William D. Chalfont, who married them shortly after noon, was unaware of the groom's prominence. No other member of the Gould family was present. Lorain, Ohio. After producing the first woman soction hand in the country, Lorain is going in fpr other means of making feminine workers take the place of men. Lorain is about to give the country the first woman mail carrier dressed in a gray uniform and carrying mail to Lorain homes. Because the men mail carriers are resigning to take more paying jobs, Postmaster Custer Snyder has received instructions to give examinations for women to permit them to qualify as mail carriers. PLAIN GOWNS FOR SUMMER'S BRIDES TALL LAMP USEFUL New York.—Many a wedding will occur this summer that was scheduled to occur next autumn. War wreaths will become so much the social pastime that the cynics insist that hundreds of girls are getting husbands who might otherwise have remained old maids. There is no one class so grateful for these constantly occurring weddings as the dressmakers. They have been on the verge of nervous breakdowns ever since war was declared. They have seen themselves go out of existence, and they have seen good clothes become one of those rare luxuries that are sold at infrequent intervals, like jewels and Chinese rugs. The dressmakers have doubled and turned on their tracks in trying to get new clothes for the summer and to attract the coin out of the purses of even the economists by presenting a class of costumery that varies from the spring models. You can well imagine, therefore that the decision on the part of the brides-elect to have their weddings A Wedding gown of ivory satin, without ornament. The headaddress and long veil is after the Russian fashion and is made of handsome lace. occur in the summer instead of the autumn is a flag of happiness upon which the dressmakers cast their eyes in hope. Every if the brides of this summer insist upon telling each other often and rapidly that they intend to be economical in the purchase of their trousseaux, they at least yield to the temptation to have an extraordinarily good-looking wedding costume for the outfit. Even though the weather is warm, there are few brides, even in wartime, who care to relinquish the traditional white satin gown. It must be that each woman-child, from the crudie to maturity, has that kind of bridal frock fixed in her subconsciousness. Throughout all her nursery days, she dresses her dolls in white satin to go to the gitar; in her school-girl days she giggles and confides to her intimate friends the plan for that sumptuous frock. It may be said that she thinks more of the gown than the man, for she always sees herself at the apex of her career as a radiant vision in tulle and satin, slowly approaching a flower-banked altar. And now that it is wartime and weddings are rushed and romances sometimes end at the altar almost as soon as they have begun in a corner of a drawing room, the thought of the white satin gown rides triumphant, until it is finally expressed through the skill of the dressmaker. War-time simplicity, however, rules over peace-time extravagance. One might add that extravagance has been squelched in appearance more than in actuality, for the demure outfit that the brides wear at the summer resorts from Newport to Coronado Beach has its price, and that price is not low. There are those who maintain that the heaviness of ivory satin should be substituted by dead white chiffon. These two materials divide all the honors. Taffeta has its claimants, but artistic women know that the stiffness of this fabric does not lend itself easily to the various ways in which a wedding gown is made. Crepe de chine is the third choice. We have remarkably good weaves of it this summer, and the flat plaiting, NAMING OF LINGERIE IS FAD Various Pieces May Be Distinguished According to Type of Garment and Its Fabric and Color. It is a pretty fad, just now, to name the several pieces composing the lingerie in accordance with the type of garment and fabric and color thereof. For instance, there is the Camille gown, which is an exquisite confection of pale pink linen cut with square neck and trimmed with valenciennes embroidery. The very color is irresistible and the woman who adores the delicate nuances will delight to wear such a robe de nuit. Then there is a model called Rose, which, despite its appellation, is not pink, nor rose-toned nor anything other than pure white. The fabric is batiste and it is trimmed with lace and pale-hued ribbons. This gown has a matching envelope chemise, which, by the way, is the rule with many of the up-to-date nightdresses. Due to the vogue of chemise and Chinese effects in outer wear, several of the French models, as well as the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917 the loose girdling and the attenuated droop of the hem can be gotten through crepe de chine as well as satin. Once upon a time, ultra-fashionable folk thought that it was high time to adopt some of the primitive methods concerning wedding gowns. They introduced sea green, pale blue and rose-pink into the white draperies. They borrowed from the peasants of other countries the glittering gold and silver embroideries. They filched from the Italian days of Catherine de Medici the metallic tissues and soft and brillant tinsels, and they borrowed from Russia the massive laces and deepened white and cream velvets. Not content with this, they had subtly woven lace gowns, the patterns of which had been originated for royalty. Doucet once made an entire lace frock dropped over ivory satin, at the cost of $1,200, to be worn by a young girl in Washington. A thousand dollars was paid for court trains of subtly woven lace, which were caught on the shoulders with diamond ornaments and held out at their extreme length by tiny pages in white satin and Louis XIV hats. The daughter of a great banker paid $2,000 for a wedding gown of old Italian tissue, woven with crystals and embroidered in silver threads, with a deep tunic of old French lace that had once belonged to royalty. These gowns were worn at a time when such prices were considered monstrous, and that was only a few years ago. For the last three years, this extravagant idea of wedding finery has passed out. It is faintly possible that the war may have something to do with this condition, but probably not. The actual reason for the disinclination of women to use colors is that they prefer white for the wedding day. It is a tradition that dies hard and may never die. No bride of today will consider an extravagant wedding gown. She may pay a reasonably high price for it at a good dressmaker's, but there will be no lavish display of lace flounces, metal underskirts, jeweled court trains or gorgeous girdles. The Russian influence is still being strongly felt in all wedding costumery, but it is content in expressing itself through the headaddress. Every bride has looked for something new in the way of headgear. She has experimented with all manner of crowns, from the coronet of a countess to a copy of the royal crowns that are sufficiently obsolete to be placed at British museums. The rather splendid headaddress of the Russian, which is used for court A Here is a restaurant hat of black horsehair. It is a wide-brimmed turban turned away from the face and trimmed with a fence of burnt goose feathers. ceremonials by royalty, as well as the folk of the middle class at such affairs as weddings, has appealed more to the Anglo-Saxon women than to the French ones. It came to America via London and has almost become an established fashion in this country. It has taken the place of the bunches of tulle and orange blossoms which the Americans adopted from the French a century or so ago. It is very satisfying, from an artistic sense, that the clever designer of this season is making severe wedding gowns, without ornamentation, when they are to be projected against a background of a Russian veil and headaddress. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) American copies, follow these lines in lingerie. There is a special appropriateness in such because they are easily slipped on and off, and seem, in many instances, better suited to underwear exploitation than to that of outer apparel. Like many other items of the new lingerie these chemise garments are frequently trimmed with little flouces of tulle or fine net of more durable quality than is the tulle. Gold Braid on Veils Shops are showing motor vells with the military idea carried out by the use of gold braid on chiffon. The gold braid may come over the hat, forming a trimming, or around the throat, or as a band across the forehead. This last way is a pretty beach fashion when a woman doesn't want to wear a hat.

Floor Light Also Adds to Room's Attractiveness. Plain Shades Are in Much Better Taste Than Those Which Are Beruffed and Flower Betrimmed. There are several reasons why floor lamps have become as popular as they have, and good ones, too. To begin with, they fill a need for certain kinds of lighting; they are unsurpassed for use at the piano, or for any purpose which requires an elevated light. Often, too, the floor lamp may be made use of in the corner of a room, at the side of an easy chair, where a table to hold a table lamp would be an utter impossibility. This is one of the most noteworthy uses for the lamp with the tail and slender standard; it can be used so many places where the ordinary table and lamp cannot. It may also give light for two or three to work or read by, without it also being necessary to crowd up to a table, each person holding the work or 'look so that the light will fall on it. 'n' the room where a mild but gene- light is required the floor lamp provides it adequately a d artistically. The artistic aspect of the floor lamp is one of its chief delights, however. For it has helped to transform many rooms. Such a lamp standing in just the right spot in a rather commonplace living room would make the whole room seem more attractive, and somehow more fashionable. You doubters, try it and see! It is because these floor lamps we've been having are so beautiful, and so very well designed, that I notice with regret that which some are not so good are creeping in among us, writes an authority on home decorations. Lamps too ornate and suggesting too strongly the questionable piano lamps of a by- Three Beautiful Floor Lamps and a Floor Candle gone day—lamps with millinery headgear instead of the practical and wonderfully artistic lamp shades like these shown here. Beware of them! Don't be tempted by the flower betrimmed and berried lamp shades in existence; don't be tempted by the parasols made of black lace over yellow! Let our good taste direct us rather toward shades we can be proud of; shades preferably of plain-colored silk with no trimming other than that of tarnished metallic braid and fringe of silk to match the color of the shade; or shades of croton, well made and bound with gimp. And if we make use of trimming, let it be so slight and exactly right, a bit of characterful hand embroidery, that the chance corner may even miss it, and when it does come within his range of vision he will be immediately impressed by its good taste, effectiveness and restraint. ALL LACE IS MODISH NOW In Nearly All Cases It Is Dyed to Match the Color of the Fabric With Which It Is Used. Old lace is getting its innings again. For a time it only appeared on wedding things or on dowagers' velvet gowns, but now many and lovely are the new frocks which have a bit of antique lace tucked on somewhere, and what is more these frocks are so made that they can boast of smartness as well as valuable lace—a combination before now that has been rarely achieved. A smart New York woman utilizes lace banding for shoulder straps and shows off its exquisite workmanship to advantage by having the gown—palest blue charmuse—made with exceeding simplicity. In fact lace of all description is modish these days, though it is rarely seen in contrast with the material of the dress, says Harper's Bazar. While black lace may be effectively used on white frocks, in nearly every other instance the lace is dyed to match the fabric with which it is used. Particularly noticeable is dyed file on gray gowns, while navy lace is charming, especially so if it is used with blue chiffon printed in gray designs. A very interesting new trimming is straw!—just the ordinary kind that is used for hand-made hats, though of Are Useful in Protecting the Afternoon Frook and Be Made Very At the Trunkly Since rompers and overalls are so much in fashion for kiddies, aprons have been pushed to the background. There is much to be said in their favor, however, for they ignore the fact that they have been neglected and make an effort to be more attractive than ever. When a little girl has her afternoon frock on there is need for an apron to protect her dress, and it is then that the attractive article can show the result of its efforts. An apron of the slip-over-the-head type is very effectively elaborated with Tommy Tucker design that is sure to interest the wearer. Tommy is embroidered in blue, and beneath him is outlined a couplet telling that Tommy sings for his supper. The apron ties beneath the arms and is made of white poplin. Oll涤oth is a material liked by many mothers for children's aprons because it prevents water from getting through. course, the texture of the straw makes all the difference in the world, as the rough and bumpy is so very much smarter than the smooth and satiny. It is put on in bands in exactly the same manner as you would braid. Even straw buttons are seen now and then. TO HOLD NEEDLES AND PINS Useful and Decorative Little Novelty May Be Hung Upon Wall by Side of the Looking-Glass. This useful and decorative little novelty is for hanging upon the wall by the side of the looking-glass and for holding needles and pins of various kinds.

For suspending the whole thing from a nail in the wall silk cords are fastened on at the top. These cords are tied together in a bow, and the ends knotted and frayed out into tassels, and the cords are arranged in loops, with the ends that hang downwards knotted and frayed into tassels.

An incident like this can knock the style out of a piece of millinery quicker than anything else. The hat bag is the invention of a Philadelphia woman who has observed the shortcomings of the ordinary methods and she has profited by the same. This bag is made with one flat wall and the other with plaits in it for the purpose of accommodating the towering part of the hat.

The dressmakers thought that there was nothing new to be found in these appendages, but the late spring season brought them out in full force again, and a good many new ideas seem to have been discovered for their summer vogue. They do not limit their appearance to sports clothes, but have become a smart bit of trimming on evening gowns. In the latter capacity they are made of colored tulle heavily threaded with jewels, and on one especially good gown they are carried like small buckets by a long rope of brilliants that passes around the neck. There are pockets that droop and pockets that are squarely placed across the material in a military manner. There are pockets that are smocked, quilted, embroidered and soutached.
