He is George Dishore, a 258. We tell the citizens of this country right here and now that we, the colored residents of this country, will fight to death on the field of war, but will never consent to do one day of conscription. Gen. W. H. Lewis of Boston, Mass., Hon. R. R. Jackson, a major in our Eighth Illinois regiment, N. G., has been retired. EMERSON ON THE DRAFT In a recent speech in Cleveland, Congressman Emerson said: "The military registration discloses that more than 30,000 aliens between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one are now in the United States, two wards the aliens outnumbered the American citizens. It is unjust and unfair that our quota in the national army be based on the registration of 30,000 aliens. This basis should be changed. The government haps' could readjust this, but probably won't for political reasons." Unless this is changed, in the heavy alien wards of Cleveland, Americans and naturalized Americans will be defined right and left; while in places like New York, only the normal quota of Americans and naturalized Americans will be drafted. The government at Washington refuses to change the law, stating that Governor Cox can readjust the Ohio quota. This he refuses to do. Bitter complaint is being made as a result of a concession at the "White City" soldier camp—three companies of the Ninth Ohio regiment. It seems that it was given to a member of the other race in preference to one of the race, and that he is reaping a harvest—"coin hey." If this is true, who is to blame? HONORIS NIT NOINO RI SANDUSKY—Tie. Second Baptist church was well attended Sunday morning and afternoon. Rev. A. Gance preached the missionary sermon. Text "She has done what she could."

When they are in the south or on foreign soil, each soldier's head will be warmly covered with a cap made by her. She will also furnish the whole troop with tobacco and ice lemonade during their stay here. All this she is doing and will do out of the boundless sunshine of the battle field. Jones returned recently from a very pleasing and satisfactory recuperative rest in Battle Creek, Mich.

St. Louis massacre and carried hundreds of banners, demanding 'protection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' Adequate college and university education for our people is urged by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, in the two-volume report on Negro education. Dr. Jones points out that despite the high ideals and notable enthusiasm on the part of the race and its benefactors, most of our institutions calling themselves colleges and universities are poorly equipped and ineffectively organized and administered. Following the disposal of the prohibition on questioning of dealing with aliens and their exemption from military service will be taken up by the U. S. senate: "The embarrassment due to treaty compacts, of which there must be no violation, is the cause of delay in dealing with the problem. There will be action soon, however. Congress will not consent to draft a bill that would leave foreigners to frown on their jobs" says Senator W. G. Harding. "In short the alien who wants to enjoy American privileges must purchase them" through the performance of an American duty." THE GAZETTE Hopkade, was here recently. Mr. and Mrs. F.

RISKS LIFE IN DARING ACT Thrilling Performance of Young Southern Man at New York, Who Voluntarily Plunges Into River With Clothes on and Saws Elderly White Man From a Watery Grave. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—One of the most thrilling rescues, from drowning made in this section of the country for a long time was the one performed by young John M. Taylor of this city on Friday afternoon, July 13, when he rescued Daniel Curran, an aged white man, from the North river after Mr. Curran had sunk the second time. The New York World in speaking of the rescue in its issue of July 14, under the caption "Negro Hero Shaun Crowd," says: *Daniel Curran, sixtey-five, of 237 West Sixtex sixth street, was working on the pier at West Fifty-third street, when he slipped and fell into the water. A large crowd of men on the pier watched the drowning man sink twice without offering assistance. Suddenly A. Photo by American Press Association. JOHN M. TAYLOR. the only Negro in the crowd darted to the end of the pier and without waiting to remove his clothes plunged into the water. Although nearly exhausted, the Negra brought Curran to the pier, from which a rope was thrown to him and the two were pulled from the water. "The curran was revived by a pulmotor from the Pollycine hospital. The rescuer is John Taylor. He is chief mechanic for the Broadway 'Auto school,' 213 West Fifty-third street." The news of Taylor's daring heroism spread rapidly, and he was soon the recipient of many congratulations from both friends and strangers. John M. Taylor is one of a family of eight children, four boys and four girls, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. George W. Taylor of Charleston, S.C. He is not a flyboy, but has had a most ecoupled career as an all-around athlete and successful mechanic. He is a product of the public and the Avery high school of Charleston. As a boy he sold newspapers and did other chores for a live-throat. Having a desire to better his condition financially, young Taylor left Charleston for New York, where he obtained a position as apprentice with the Times Square Auto company. He soon became master of his job and for nine years was the chief repair mechanic, examiner and buyer for this big concern, which depended almost solely on Mr. Taylor's judgment in all purchases. He was also for a time chief repair mechanic for the Ford Motorcar company, for which he turned out some of the most difficult jobs. When Benjamin F. Thomas, proprietor of the Broadway Auto school, was in need of an expert mechanic for his repair department he had the good fortune to secure the services of Johnny Taylor, as his friends are wont to call him. He proved to be a bonanza for the business, and his worth has been recognized, by Mr. Thomas to the extent that young Taylor has been made a partner in the auto repair business, which Proprietor Thomas conducts on a large scale. Mr. Thomas is one of our most thrift business men. Previous to the opening of the Broadway Auto school about nine years ago Mr. Thomas successfully conducted the Hotel Macao and restaurant ten years. In speaking of his success with the auto school Mr. Thomas says: "Over 3,500 students have graduated from the Broadway Auto school during its brief existence I do not draw the color line. I give young white men an equal chance with the young men of my own race. "The school is widely known for its efficiency, so much so that it has come to be a common expression to hear owners of machines say. My car troubles end when my auto reaches the Broadway auto repair shop, for Thomas' partner knows every wire in any autoengine make." WALTER E. HAWKINS. Weil Known Writer of Varse, the Author of "Chords and Discords," "The Child of the Night," "The Black Soldiers," "Love's Unchangeableness," "Too Much Religion," "Toast to the Ethiopian Maid," Ete. Considerable interest has been awakened recently in the literary works of Walter Everett Hawkins by the read-public educational institutions and libraries. As a writer of verge Mr. Hawkins is thoughtful and inspiring. His poems bear the stamp of obelegance and show the easy grasp the author has of the English language. He is modest and withal a man of action in the world of letters who is to be reckoned with in his chosen line. Walter Everett Hawkins is a native of Warrenton, N. C., and is just apt approaching his thirty-fourth birthday. After finishing his studies in the public school at Warrenton he entered Kittrell college, Kittrell, N. C., from which he was graduated in 1601. Among Mr. Hawkins' best known words are "birds and Discords," published by Murray Bros. at Washington; "The Child of the Night," "The Black Soldiers," "Love's Unchangebleness" and "Too Much Religion." While on a visit to New York in the early part of June Mr. Hawkins was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Edward Bruce of Madison avenue. The poet is now a resident of Washington, in which city he is making many friends. His poem "Toast to the Ethiopian Maid" follows: I imbure my gait with all of the vine And drink to the health of a maid most No less do I admit to her beauty and youth Than to her mask innocence, virtue and And newly irradied in the most modest brocade I adore her health, Egyptian nail. I drink to thy health, Ethiopian maid. Mid noontide and moonide, whatever thy themes. Thy vision encrops in the enchantments of dreams; The pinnings of skylark and thrills of the wen. Are mixed in the midst of the melody when Thy body rings out in the vina scented glaze. As I drink to thy health, Ethiopian maid. I danced in the faint of the gay daffodils, I danced the fount of life's full flow- ing gills The sister of roses, the nectar of wine, But I turn from them all for the love that is thine. The essence of life in the beauty displayed, in city radiance of soul, Ethiopian maid. When sum of the tropics turns westward and dips. The made still lingers in light of thine eyes. I mingle with goblet with oil of the palm Where spies long over and summer smiles warm. And there mid the magic of forest and shade. I drink thy sweet health, Ethiopian maid. BETHEL'S ABLE MINISTER. Baltimore Church Makes New Finan- cial Board Hidden Da Breake Baltimore.—What was the biggest rally ever held in a colored church in Baltimore come to an end on Sunday, July 20, when about $3,000 was reported in the effort at Bethel A. M. E. church. The rally was planned by the Rev. Dr. W. Simpson Brooks, who has been pastor of the church since last April. As Dr. Brooks raised over $7,000, he was a wort of 88. Paul A. M. E. church St. Lois, the rally here created general interest. This interest was heightened by the fact that Zelah church has a debt approximating $75,390. Since Dr. Brooks has been here the attendance and collections at the church have increased the debt. For the purposes of the rally the workers were divided into three groups called annual conferences, each of which was presided over by a "bishop." The first two reports by conferences and bishops follow: Thousand dollar conference, Bishop John Williams, $677.75, Earthquake, Bishop Theodore White, $414.12, Turnout, Bishop A. N. Peck, $388.71, Pampers, Bishop Edward F. Barnett, $424.20, Nightingale, Bishop Daniel W. Lee, $268, Shipwreck, Bishop Jacob Herst, $420; Rough Bishops, Bishop William B. Namen, $703.35, Matter of Fact, Bishop Robert Sorrell, $82.68, Little Kid, Bishop George Palmer, $757; Ethiopian, Bishop Thaddeus, Copeland, $258.00. One hundred twenty-one dollars and sixty cents was received from the "general officers," $74.46 in the public rally collection, $200.65 from the commencement of "Wilberforceful" university. SHOT DOWN BY THE EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL., MOB: NINTH OHIO OFFICERS! Because He is Responsible for the Success of the Regiment-Plenty of Trouble in Sight, However, It Seems-Personal Refer- Columbus, O. - Tue. Ohio Division seems to have struck a snag, according to indelible interpretation of orders received here by Col. Jolita A. Penn, chief mustering officer of Ohio, in response to a request from the National Guard into federal service. Whether these orders in some way involve the fate of the Ohio Division is not known. One of the orders is that the Ninth Battalion, infantry, which has been expanded into a regiment of 1520 dismounted cavalry men having obeyed orders to be mustered in as the Ninth Battalion, although Col. Young was designated as "a cloak of the regiment," etc. Nothing has been given out for publication from the N. B. O. N. G. headquarters, but I have learned that the men have not received federal examination, equipment, looks like the Wilson administration does not want any Afro-American colonels, doesn't it? Lieut. Col. Glas. Young, Tenth Cav. U.S. S. a colonel of our Ninth Ohio regiment, has recommended as lieutenant colonel of the latter named regiment, Lieut. Wm. Ballard of Louisville, N. Army of the United States, with rank of second lieutenant, during the Spanish-American war, in the Ninth Ohio battalion, and later served with him in Liberia, Africa, when Young was reorganizing that country's constabulary. As majors; Col. Young has recommended Capt. Frank Stewart, N. Army of the United States, a son of Chandin Stewart, U.S.A. (reretired), of Williforce, and Lieut. Bradborough of Indianapolis; also Sergt. Chas. Jackson, former Springfield and to date Cleveland letter carrier, as regimental adjutant with rank of captain. All of these served under him in the Ninth Ohio battalion during the Spanish-American war. Rumor has it that the Col-nel has also recommended Chas. Williams of this city for a cantineer; Everett Squire and James Wrought, also of this city for first lieutenants. It is said the latter was a corpulal, in THE GAZETTE And Thoughts It Brings to Cleveland—What "Means to THE GAZETTE'S BIRTHDAY Means to Him. Las Cruces, N. M., July 25, 17 M. My Dear Friend: *Congratulations to The Gazette on its birthday*—more than a third of a century. May this be the beginning of a long life! But, too much short view backward! But, such a short view backward! For twenty-five of these thirty-five years The Gazette has been part and parcel of my very being. It has some of the aspects of sleep—hard to do, without long, impossible to do without altogether. I have traveled much and among strange peoples; I have crossed many cities but The Gazette has been my constant companion, bringing news of my friends and acquaintances and keeping me in touch with home. *For The Gazette* this world would be a wilderness indeed to me because there although I have lived in places long enough to become a wider vet none of them have the ties which bind me to Cleveland. And those ties have ever been held intact by The Gazette. *During a week I read a score of newspapers and hundreds of papers, but all together do not bring the views that I have on the pages of The Gazette.* A letter from home is of more interest to me than the morning Leader; and the information that the SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS EAST ST.

An effort is being made to head off, if possible, through the governor and the adjutant general, these last three recommendations, these last three recommendations must be amended into the federal regiment day. This will hardly be successful because it is the general rule to follow the recommendations of the commanding officer who is held responsible for the success in every way of his command. Go along with one's recommendations should not be made everyone concedes, his commanding ability and exceptional experience as a soldier. This latter has gained in late years in Africa, the Philippines, Haiti and Santo Domingo, Mexico and this country. Prof. Thomas of Wilberforce and the following officers of the department have been commissioned first lieutenants: Morris W. Gillick of Toledo, 1st ambulance Chas. Forrest B.

John Fulton, commander of the Spanish-American battalion since the Spanish-American war of Cleveland will unlodgethly be the third major of the Ninth Ohio. Rev. E. A.

She gave a very interesting and instructive talk on missions, Sunday evening. This church is doing from line missionary and educational work. The vocational school is also doing wonderful work in this community. Hon. Geo. W. Hays of Cincinnati, former member of the Ohio legislature, was a welcome visitor in the city, last week.

Today I am moved in my soul as I selden am over the untimely and sad ending of my friend and boyhood companion, as reported in *The Gazette*.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, 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 aplause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. The Gazette was first to nominate our long time friend, Col. Charles Young, for colonel of the Ninth Ohio regiment and certainly has no reason to regret it, nor will we. The truth of that so-called "Negro soldier out-break" at Waco, Texas, July 30, finally came to the surface. It seems that members of the 24th U. S. infantry regiment tore down a sign "For whites," over a restaurant in that city. It resulted in a clash with the local authorities. Instead of punishing the color-line restaurant keeper as required by a federal law, twenty of the soldiers have been arrested. This is southern "chivalry" and "justice." One trooper and several whites, one a patrolman, were shot. Ex- U. S. Judge Wm. L. Day said in a speech recently of certain observable conditions in this city: "The men of Cleveland who went about the city making pleas for patriotism in the school house campaign were practically all Republicans. I recall but one Democrat who spoke, although as many Democrats as Republicans were invited to make these talks. If the Democrats of Cleveland are trying to capture the foreign vote by refraining from patriotic demonstrations the people should be informed of the fact. Republicans went out selling liberty bonds and they were the leaders in the Red Cross campaign." The same propenganda, which we believe has its headquarters in the south, that promoted both of the E. St. Louis, JL. riots, is undoubtedly responsible for the more recent affairs of the same kind in Chester, Pa., Youngstown and other northern industrial centers. In both places members of both races were injured, several fatally. As in the Waco, Texas, trouble so with these others, the truth or real causes of them were not given in the first newspaper accounts of the so-called riots. The underlying motive of it all is to discourage and drive back to the south as many of the southern Afro-American immigrants as possible. It will not succeed. For the first time in Cleveland's history the number of Negro prisoners at Warrenville exceeds the whites. Welfare Director Beman said Thursday to a local newspaper reporter. "Of the 696 prisoners 360 are Negroes," said Beman. "This ratio is alarming when it is considered the total number of Negroes in the city form but a small percentage of the city's population. The influx from the south has caused and may increase this high percentage." Once more do we call the attention of Director Beman to the fact that the Maschke-Davis administration is wholly responsible for this condition. From one end of the country to the other, Cleveland is now known as a "wide-open" city with the result that we have drawn heavily on the gambling and criminal class of every large city in the country. Detroit, which has been "house-cleaning" in recent months, has unloaded upon Cleveland a majority of its criminal males and females. The result of all this is noted in the foregoing. Cleveland is at the lowest morale in its entire history as a city. As far as our people are concerned, some of the blame rests on our local Ministers' Alliance which seems to fear to demand in public meetings from Mayor Davis the cleaning up of ward 11 and the rest of the city, it is in such need of. In this way only will we ward 11 ever get it, to say nothing of the rest of the city. Director Sprosty's notorious order No. 73 prevents any aggressive and other action on the part of the police, with the result that gambling hells, "bandy" houses, "speak easies," buffet flats, dope joints, etc., etc, have multiplied something fearful in ward 11 and throughout the city, with a corresponding increase in the number of their patrons and inmates. Alloghet it amounts to an onrage which Cleveland's ministers, black and white as well as its population in general do not seem to realize or have any real conception of. Will anything wake them? We sincerely hope so, and prior to election day in November. A PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION By way of explaining the discrepancy in registration figures, north and south by means of which the north is made to furnish an extraordinary proportion of men for the draft, information have come to Representative Madden of Illinois that in some southern communities the Negro population was either not permitted to register or was advised not to register—the plea being that they were needed at home for labor. Of course, it was far easier to keep the black man from registering than to have him register and then to claim exemption for him. And keeping him from registering was also of a piece with the southern method of keeping him from voting. The black man, in the view of the southern political man, ger, is of use only to do manual labor or to be counted in making up a population upon which to secure Democratic votes in Congress and in the electoral college. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" And The E. St. Louis Massacre Our Soldiers Lead The President Wearies Editor *Gazette*, the Dear Friend—In looking over the war message delivered by President Wilson before Congress, April 2, 1917 (War Message and Facts Behind It) page 8, column 2, these words appear—a quotation from Cooley's Principles of Constitutional Law, third edition, page 273 standard authority): "Obviously a government white against a policy of protect its citizens against a policy of protect its citizens unworthy of respect abroad or obedience at home. The protection of the lives of the innocent and law-abiding is clearly the very first duty of a civilized state." The deplorable E. - St Louis, Ill., massacre was the aftermath of "The Birth of a Nation," it having seized and ran in the state of Illinois and poisoning there as well as here in Cleveland the minds of ever school children. We are proud of the record of our Cleveland young men (soldiers). What it took the whites two months to do, our boys accomplished in less than two weeks. President Wilson seemed wary of the blackness among other fellows and turned to the black boys and now they are holding up his arms as Moses was supported.

EXPERT OPINION ON EDUCATION Standards Offered by Dr. Jones of Federal Bureau. FACTORS IN RACE BUILDING Extraordinary Facts Relative to Grade and Curricula of Our Schools Revealed In Government Specialist's Report—Of Higher Institutions Only Three Warrant University Rank. The section of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones' report dealing with higher institutions of learning for our people shows that Dr. Jones by no means feels that agricultural and industrial education are the only forms of training required for a people numbering more than 10,000,000. He does feel however, that there are a number of institutions which are impairing their value by trying to maintain collegiate departments at the expense of their secondary training when the great bulk of their students are of only secondary grade. He urges emphatically that such institutions either give up their college courses entirely and devote themselves to the development of their secondary work or merge their college department with those of other institutions in the same position, so that a faculty and equipment really adequate to fill collegiate standards may be created. Howard university, Fisk university and Mehary Medical college are, he says, the only three institutions which warrant classification as universities. The presentation of the educational and economic value of agricultural and industrial training should not be interpreted to be in any sense antagonistic to other forms of education. It is evident that the sound development of 10,000,000 people requires every type of education. The colored people must have well trained physicians to combat insanitary conditions. They need religious teachers who can direct the emotions of the race for the moral uplift of the group and for the improvement of the community. They require teachers who have a thorough knowledge of the historical progress of races and an appreciation of the sufferings and disappointments through which the nations have struggled to 'tier present position in world affairs.' the leadership of the Negroes is devolving more and more upon the capable men and women of the race. If college education is necessary to the wise guidance of any group surely the Negroes should have the benefit of that education. "A number of schools offering college courses have rendered a most valuable service. This is especially true of the institutions founded and supervised by the cultured men and women who went south to teach in schools for colored people. Though the curricula of these institutions may have frequently seemed to overemphasize the printed page in comparison with the application of knowledge to practical affairs, the daily conduct of teachers trained in the best traditions of American life gave to the colored people a more precious heritage than any type of curriculum could have given. "Unfortunately most of the schools with college courses are seriously handicapped not only by lack of funds, but also by the small number of pupils prepared to study college subjects. The facts in college and professional education show that only three institutions have a student body, a teaching force and equipment and an income sufficient to warrant the characterization of 'college'. Nearly half of the college students and practically all the professional students of college grade are in these three institutions. Fifteen other institutions are offering college courses which represent a wide variation of standards. Not more than 10 per cent of the pupils in these schools are in college classes. The extravagant and high sounding names of a large number of colored schools have led to a misconception of the grade and type of work done by them. Frequently they represent only the hopes of the founders in other cases the names have been selected to satisfy the ambitions of the colored people or to attract the support of the white people. Some schools in their exigency to offer college courses not only hamper their general work, but also bring ridicule on efforts to maintain college classes. Other institutions, impressed by the great plants of the large industrial institutions, spend so much energy and money in acquiring machinery and elaborate organizations as seriously to imbure their educational efforts. "The general poverty of coloured schools, the conflicting claims of various types of education and the public ignorance of the real situation all point to the importance of a statement of the educational needs of coloured people."

THAT MEMPHIS MOR Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. T. July 15, 1917.

THE GAZETTES BIRTHDAY Continued From Page One count of our school and college days would have lessened the tension in the noble and sensitive mind to such an extent that this tragedy would have been avoided. For as I look back this is the logical ending of that series of events which one with more sagacity than I possess might easily have foreseen and perhaps prevented, for I was its candidant for years both in Cleveland and Muskogee. But let us "judge not." Now, friend Harry, I am about to bombard yon with letters. I shall say what I think and if I should say what does not please just say: "Oh, he hasn't any sense," and let it go at that. If I praise myself, most people will take it with a grain of salt and say: "Well, no one else will praise him, so he has to do it himself." While if I ensure my self, the same parties will say: "It must be true, because he says it himself. However let no one fear for I shall not needlessly or heedlessly give offense. I shall only try to surprise you by the things you might think that I had forgotten. So when I get around to it, I would mention a few friends of former times such as Charley Hackley, Warren Cossey, Mrs. Hattie Fairfax, Fred Sampson, Mrs. Grace Tucker Burke, John Blaine, Mrs. Kittie Skeene Mitchell, Missella Alexander, Robert ("Hooie") Lawson, Mr. John H.

Owing to the lateness of the trains the boy arrived in the evening of July 7 instead of in the morning as anticipated, and thus missed meeting his parents.

Although the cost of living has mounted "almost to the skies" in the last two years, it is said that the wages of our employees at the Cleveland Athletic club remain the same. If this is true just why they do not organize and request the raise certainly due them from an organization among whose members are many of the wealthiest men in the city, is a conundrum. The manager of all the employees, the goodwill all its employees, some of whom feel that he would help them get the much-needed raise in pay. Wake up! Current rumor now has it that "Starlight" got an "awful calling down" from both Mayor Davis and Maurice Maschke for that foolish interview in the Press of several weeks ago. "Star" has been "mute as a mouse" and "tame as a chicken" ever since. This would indicate that they did "halt him in his wild career" along a newspaper interview line. His remark in that interview that Harry (managing Mayor Davis) was "the official's irate, especially since the Press "featured" it on several occasions soon after it published the interview with "Star."

Fifteen more recruits were received, last Saturday, for the Ninth Ohio regiment, three companies of which are at "White City." They made a total of 82 new men who were sent from the Youngstown recruiting station in three days last week. First Lieut C. E. Brown had 30 men, then his C. E. Brown had 10 men. Yesterday it has kept accommodations for only 300 soldiers and the lieutenant has doubled up the guardsmen and strengthened the night guard details in an effort to take care of the men. A ball team from the battalion defeated a team of Hollennden employees Sunday afternoon by a 10-2 score. Over 150 men and three officers were mustered into the federal service at the camp, Tuesday, making nearly 400 in all at Camp Young. These are being held until formal recognition is given the new lieutenant here will be mustered in as a battalion. They were mustered in as dismounted cavalry, following receipt of orders from Columbus. Information to the Welfare Federation of Cleveland regarding the status of southern Negroes, who recently have come to Cleveland, resulted in a committee, headed by Elbert H.

According to Welfare Director L. T. Beman they should not be hastily condemned. Surely not when Mayor Davis' administration is to blame for the sad local condition. "The majority of those who have come in from the south, said Mr. Beman have not been adequately trained and have lived here always. Housing conditions and surroundings have a great deal to do with the situation." As a means of relieving in some measure the great menace to health resulting from the overcrowded housing conditions which exists here, Acting Welfare Director Haber Saturday said he planned to ask council to provide tenting in some of the city parks for families who are unable to find homes. "The large inux of laborers into Cleveland, especially Negro laborers, from the south, of whom there are about 3,000 (not 10,000) is causing a dangerous situation." Haber said. "There aren't sufficient houses to furnish roofs for families. As a result the health of hundreds is being undermined. Perhaps the situation will be better in the meantime the city should adopt some new housing for the homeless. Tents in vacant park space seems the most plausible solution for temporary relief." This is the first practical suggestion relative to housing that has as yet been made. Now let it be followed and something done! So much has been said by both races it has become monotonous.

Park does not seem to be able to draw color-lines enough to keep the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and some other Negroes away from it, does it. A. E. Wallace, "the Pittsburg barber," is now at 3038 Central Ave., in Joe Hedges' pool room. Mr. Wallace has been working for Charles Moxley for a year and guarantees satisfaction in every respect. Don't forget to give "the Pittsburg barber" a trial—at 3038 We frequently hear that beautiful music of the prayer and re- kelsly, the religious relics in enough for me." As a matter of fact, it is really good enough for anybody. The trouble is, however, that MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT ONLY THOSE HAVE THE OLDTIME RELIGION WHO ARE ALWAYS YELLING AMEN THROUGHOUT THE SERMONS OF THEIR VOICES, GOING OFF INTO HYSTERICS, OR SHRIKING AS THOUGH MURDER WERE BEING COMMITTED IN THEIR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. They make the mistake of regarding noise as the best indication of Christianity. They get the shadow rather than the substance. It is about time that those noise worshippers go away back to the woods, for there is no record of the God they are sup- plying, yelling, whoooping, shrieking and having fits, which always end by the time church is dismissed.-Cincinnati Union. "Afraid? Not, me!" said Clarence Garland, 23 West Indian Negro, whose job is dodging base balls at Luna Park. His eye was half closed, his nose bruised and his lip split from balls he failed to dodge successfully. Garland was brought to Federal Agent Marshal's office for there to register for selective college. He tried to counter but the supply of cards ran out. His home is 2296 Scovill Ave —Tuesday's Cleveland Press. New York state has a law that bars out the "African" or West Indian "dogger." Congressman Henry I. Emerson has a bill which as a law will make foreigners either become citizens, enlist in the army of their own country or get out of this one Ohio, too, must have a law against the "dogger" misuse. More insult to the race at Luna Park. The money, about $100 (left from the leaderless fight on "The Birth of a Nation") which the local branch of the N. A. X. A. C. P. sought to vote to itself at a meeting at Antioch church some weeks ago, is still being held by Miss Hazel Mountain of the committee which includes the president of the three organizations. The Gazette expose was timely. The committee should call a meeting of the three organizations and public to make some disposition of the money, and soon. If Don or Dan Kriper will call at The Gazette office he will get something of value to him. Tell him, reader, if you know him. 1867 HOWARD UNIVERSITY 1917 Stephen M. Newman, A. M., D. D., President.

The Working Force of Colored Women of Virginia, of which Mrs. Margaret R. Johnson of Richmond is the chairman and Miss Lizzie A. Jeukins of Hampton institute is the secretary, is co-operating with and under the direction of the women's committee of the Council of Defense, Virginia division. It has put the entire machinery of the Negro Organization society to work on Herbert C. Hoover's important work as national food administrator for increasing our general food supply and conserving the food that is produced. The colored women of Virginia have been most active in securing a complete registration of all the housewives in Virginia. The plan of campaign has been as follows: In counties where there were organized county agricultural councils of safety the chairman of the agricultural council of safety was asked to call a meeting of the women represented in the council of safety, the home demonstration agent and the beads of all women's organizations, including missionary circles and fraternal orders. In the counties where the women already had farm women's organizations these organizations were used to form other working groups. Everywhere the working committees were asked to hold office as long as the war lasts or as long as the country needs their services. July 8 was observed throughout Virginia as "food registration Sunday." The ministers brought to the attention of their congregations the needs of the country in the present crisis. Mrs. Johnson and Miss Jenkins in their plans provided for the visitation of all the homes of the colored people and the enlistment of all the women who have anything at all to do with the buying and use of food. The registration cards of the Virginia housewives have been sent to Miss Ella G. Agnew 66 Richmond and will in turn be sent on to Herbert C. Hoover in Washington. "Fighting by Feeding the Folks" has become the slogan of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. WAR AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS. More Efficiency and Loyalty Urged by National Conference Members The great war and its social problems overshadowed every other topic on the Pittsburgh program of the National Conference of Social Work. To 4,300 men and women who had come together from many states to exchange ideas and receive fresh inspiration for their social service work there was brought home the thought of the necessity of doing their present work more skillfully, more economically and more wisely. To cripple, through lack of men and money, the social work which has been painstakingly developed through long years of struggle, thinking people realize is truly shortsighted. The committee on resolutions, Hastings H. Hart, Thomas B. Mayman and Robert W. Kelso, departing from the usual policy of the conference, made the following recommendations, which were heartily adopted: "The National Conference of Social Work places on record, in behalf of the great majority of its 4,300 members, their intense loyalty and their purpose to support the president and the government of the United States in the prosecution of this war in the interest of liberty and democracy. "The obligation to make every necessary sacrifice rests with double weight upon the organizations for social welfare. We therefore commend the patriotism of those social organizations which are lending their most efficient workers for the national service in the government departments, the national Red Cross, the movement for conserving health and morals in the army and navy by wholesome recreation and by eliminating temptations to intemperance and vice. "On the other hand, we would emphasize the insistence of the president of the United States as to the necessity for conserving those agencies which operate to maintain public morals, public health and the producing forces of the community. We therefore urge the importance of maintaining the full force and efficiency of the agencies for social work and of securing for all of them adequate support in view of the new and pressing demands created by the war, especially those agencies which make for the preservation and improvement of public health and family life, the protection of motherhood and the preservation of children from the destructive and demoralizing influences of war. "We urge the maintenance throughout the war of all our standards for the protection of industrial employees, especially women and children. The lending of social workers for the national service should not include so large a number as to cripple the effectiveness of these vital agencies, which are among the most essential bulwarks for the national defense." Miss Cromwell Receives High Honors. Miss Mary E. Cromwell, second daughter of Professor John W. Cromwell of Washington, author of "The Negro In American History." has just received the degree of arts in sociology and psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, the first colored woman to win this honor from this school of learning. Foulard Was Never So Popular THE WEEKLY PRESS Long. Straight Lines Still Prevail THE LADY OF THE WEST gette crape, which gives long sleeves and most of the top, four-lard in navy and white stripe fashions this charming Russian blouse outfit, so modish as to take a navy velvet turban for early autumn style. Never before, perhaps, were ribbons so effectively used as they are this year. There is an interesting array of them in the shops, and there are many interesting ways of using them. There is, for instance, the hat and bag set made of ribbon. A wide ribbon, figured with an embroidered design in simple outlines, is used for the brim, shirred enough where it joins the crown to make it lie smooth at the outside of the circumference. Then from the rib. Long. Straight L WHITE crepe de chine beautifully testoned with bowknots and flower wreaths done in colored beads au naturel gives this modish frock so widely banded with silk ribbon. Please note the sprig of flowers on the left shoulder. No doubt as a consequence of the high and ever higher price of Angora many of the newest sweaters now show a trimming of marabou. Especially attractive is a combination of AZETTE THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., AUGUST 4, 1917. bon cut a circle for the top of the crown and for the upright part of the crown use the ribbon straight, folded or cut, to fit the height required. Such a hat needs no trimming, although sometimes a long silk tassel is used, attached to the center of the crown, whence it falls gracefully down to the brim. Gingham frocks, as we all know, are in high vogue. Gingham sport skirts are worn with white blouses, and sometimes the blouses show collars and cuffs to match the skirts. It is possible now to buy separate collar and cuff sets or plaid ginghams, and these give smart finish to the simplest white blouse. ANNA MAY. ines Still Prevail soft brown with a yellow woolen sweater. There is no reason in the world why the woman who is clever enough to knit her own sweaters should not also be clever enough to devise a marabou trimming from marabou bought by the yard. Tunic blouses continue to be great favorites. Broad sash belts are much employed. ANNA MAY.

Fetching Frock For Maidens Fetching Frock For Maidens I WOMEN may be willing to do their bit in the garden, but they insist upon having becoming clothes for the work. At least Gail Kane, the movie star, did when she donned this old rose and white striped silk sweater and panama garden hat set off with its jaunty tussel. Washable silk frocks are another novelty of the season. They, like the gingham frocks, are very practical for country wear. Some of them are made of silk in very fine cheeks, in rose and blue, white and white and green and Fetching Fro MARILYNN MILLER designed for her own particular dancing frock. For the foundation she selected a pussy willow silk in a delicate pink color, the hue of the La France rose. This makes the overskirt, bordered deeply in indestructible volle of the same shade and caught here and there by varicolored rosettes of pussy willow satin, reflecting the colorings of the satin petticoats. There is more of the pussy willow silk serving as a deep girdle. This is surmounted by a modestie, asurer girdle used to call it the indestructible volle, though the 1977 edition is extended to form flowing angel sleeves, elbow proof, though sheer as chiffon. Belts this season are loose, comfortable things, wide, narrow and medium, made in plain cloth, in silk and in satin or in beads. Sometimes they blossom into sashes and look lovely on afternoon gowns. Often they are modest little bands in cloth, about an inch or an inch and a half wide, which cross over in front and button at the side, or which just loop at the ends and hang loose. The bead belts on the new chemise dress are almost S IT'S 350 white. These frocks are sometimes in two pieces, rather like the old shirt waist suits, but they are more often of the regulation one piece type. There are also washable silk frocks in plain browns in all the lovely colors that we seem to have despite the war. The white serge frock has proved very popular at the seashore this summer. Yellow is the smartest of colours this season. ANNA MAY. k For Maidens works of art and hang, girdle-like, down the skirt. Then there is the loosely draped beit, which encircles the slightly raised line of the tailor made and which has only one danger, that of looking a little clumsy. It is only suited to the slim figure. Jersey may be effectively trimmed with serge. Sport suits seem to have turned into a sort of military uniform, though just where and how such clothes are going to be worn is as yet rather puzzling. Naturally every young girl takes to such styles. They doubtless will look appropriate on those who are to be active in canvassing for money or war relief funds, taking part in the various garden party fairs at summer resorts and occasions of a like manner. The uniform of our khaki clad soldiers, with their good and original lines, doubtless will inspire many of the suit designers to new suit models which will resemble them more or less.
