VALUE OF SUMMER SCHOOLS Principals and Teachers of Various Grades and Lines of Education Gain Wealth of Information by Attending Noted Seat of Learning—More Room Needed For the Future. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Va.—"The supply ofcollected teachers is entirely inadequate, and the preparation of many of those employed to teach is woefully meager. The outlook would be well nigh hopeless but for the abounding evidence that conditions are better today than they were yesterday and the well founded hope that they will be better tomorrow than they are today. "There is great need for better trained leaders, and all the tendencies of the Hampton Summer school the past summer were in the direction of ministering more to the needs of this class, leaving the instruction of the rank and file of teachers to the other summer schools, which have been increasing rapidly in recent years. We believe that results will eventually show the wisdom of this policy." Dr. George P. Phoenix, director of the Hampton Summer school, recently made these statements, together with another statement, which is significant "The Hampton Summer school was full nearly a month before the date of opening, and between 200 and 300 teachers were refused admission. It must be remembered that even in the summer there are always several hundred regular students present at Hampton, and because of this the accommodations for summer school pupils are limited. The addition of dormitory and dining room accommodations, which may be expected within the next two years, will make a larger summer school possible and thus extend one of the most important parts of the school's work." Dr. Phenix, after an analytic study of the summer school enrollment, concludes that the Hampton Summer school has had an attendance of 120,000 pupils." Of course there was only a small fractional number in bodily attendance, but those who came to the summer school represented large numbers of teachers and armies of boys and girls eager for an education. Dr. Phenix says in the Southern Workman: "There were 211, who deal with 11,183 children directly in their own schoolrooms. There was a group of sixty-nine principals, with about 17,000 children under them and their assistants. Besides these two groups, there were the county industrial supervisors often known as Jeanes teachers. The sixty-six in this group have 1,836 rural schools, representing over 90,000 children, under their supervision. "Matrons having in charge the dormitories or dining rooms, or both, in boarding schools formed a smaller group; but, as the physical and moral well being of nearly 2,000 boys and girls is in their hands, they formed a group by no means unimportant. There were present thirty-nine special teachers of sewing, cooking and manual training, not included in any of the other groups mentioned, of whom reaches a large number of children." Dr. Paul H. Hanus of Harvard university, who has been directing a study of Hampton institute for the General Education Board of New York, recently spoke on "The Meaning of Education." He said, "Education means the directed, progressive participation in world interests, opportunities and duties so Far as they are interesting and accessible to children and youth." He emphasized the idea of making education mean life itself. People receive their education through their environment and through school work that is planned. Dr. Hanus declared that two things are needed—the provision of education for vocation and the provision of education for community service. Others who have delivered addresses are Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville on "Co-operating With Differences," Professor W. T. B. Williams, field agent of the Jeanes and Slater boards, on "The Negro and the War," and Jackson Davis of Richmond, field agent of the general education board, on "Forward Movements In Negro Education." Co-operate With Equal Rights League.

EXAMPLE OF TRUE AMBITION Principal of the Voorhees Normal School Met and Mastered Many Difficulties While In Pursuit of an Education—Was Once Field Agent For the Tuckkeegel Institute. Denmark, S. C.—The institutions of this country have given to the race many able men, and some of them have entered the various professions, such as lawyer, doctor, dentist, while others have sought the schoolroom, feeling that it was their calling, and in this they are making good. They are making the world know that they live in the shaping of the lives of the youth of today. In this number is to be found Professor Jesse O. Thomas, principal of Voorhees Normal and Industrial school of this city. Professor Thomas was born at Summit, Miss, and got his foundation for an education in the public schools in the town where he was born. It was in youth that his ability as a leader was demonstrated among the boys, and during their play days he was often selected as the professor of the school. After completing the grammar grade he went to work with his father on the plantation. His first job from home was at a sawmill, getting 90 cents a day. It was while working in the mill that he heard of Booker T. Washington PROFESSOR J. O. THOMAS. ton and Tuskegee institute, and it came to him that if a boy could get there whether he had money enough or not he would be given an opportunity to work his way through school if he was industrious. He reached the institution as green as you could find a young man. He was a full grown man. He went before Professor Houston, who looked at this young man and then without examination assigned him to a preparatory class. This proved to be too high for him, but he told them if they would give him a few weeks he would pull himself up to the class. This was granted him, and it was soon discovered that he had not only weeded himself up to the class, but was actually in the lead. At the close of school his first year he got a job in Birmingham working in the blast furnaces, which was too much for him, for he was so anxious to save money to get some more education and finish at Tuskegee that he did not eat sufficient food, and this resulted in chronic indigestion, which kept him out of school a whole year. It was after spending a year out of school trying to regain his health that he went to Tuskegee in the summer, and in the three months in the summer he made up the whole year's work. It had never occurred to him that it was a disgrace to be poor, especially when in pursuit of an education. He often found it necessary to borrow the clothes of his roommate to keep up a good appearance. Near the time of his graduation he was back in his board bill and was notified that unless his board was paid it would be necessary for him to stay out of school. It was then that his roommate suggested that he write to a man in New York who would perhaps help him out. In response to a letter sent to New York came a check for $50, which was a loan. He graduated and, having attracted the attention of Mr. Washington during his school life by the delivery of an address, was selected as field agent for Tuskegee, which position he held for four years, receiving high commendation from Dr. Washington. He was said to be the most successful field agent that was on the road for Tuskegee institute. He resigned the position one year ago to accept the principalship of Voochees Normal and industrial school, which is a little Tuskegee within itself. The school was founded by Miss Elizabeth Wright, and at her death it was presided over by Professor Martin A. Menafee, the treasurer, who is still with the school. ING For Hacial Betterment. Mrs. Hallie B. digwell, for years Big Sister worker of the National Urban league at New York and recommended by its officers to the position of assistant visiting teacher at Public School No. 80, has received an appointment for the next school year as visiting teacher of Public School No. 119 by the Public Education association. In addition to the appointment of Charles C. Allison as parole officer for the city of New York word has been received that James H. Hubert, secretary of the Brooklyn Urban league, is also appointed as parole officer, having stood twelfth on the list of 585 candidates. Mr. Hubert did not accept the appointment, electing to remain in his present position. The day nursery on Columbus hill, for establishment of which the league and other organizations have been working during the past three months, will be operated at the Henrietta day school. Through the league's efforts another colored Travelers' Aid worker will be stationed at the Pennsylvania railroad station, New York, within a short time. This is in line of the league's efforts throughout the country to secure aid and direction for the Negro migrants from the south. Already there are three such workers in Philadelphia, one in Chicago, one in New York and one in Norfolk, Va. As a result of the recent trip of the executive secretary, E. K. Jones, to the west, branch organizations of the league are in process of formation at Terro Haute, Ind., and at Cleveland, O., and efforts are being made to strengthen the movements in Louisville, Ky., and St. Louis. From March to the middle of June the league has placed 787 workers, not including 523 men who have been sent for work to the Connecticut tobacco farms. FAVORS HIGHER EDUCATION. Views of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones on Qualified Race Leadership. Washington—Adequate college and university education for colored people is urged by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States bureau of education, department of the interior, in the two volume report on "Negro Education." Just issued by the department, which says: "If college education is of value to any group surely it is to those who are to be the leaders of the colored people. Only a broad minded leadership with a thorough grasp of human development can understand the peculiar difficulties resulting from the close proximity of such widely varying races as the black and the white people of the southern states. "The race must have physicians of real skill and the spirit of service to lead against the insultary conditions that are not only threatening the group itself, but also its white neighbors. It must have religious teachers who can relate religion to the morals of the individual and to the common activities of the community. It must have teachers of secondary schools who have had a college education in the great modern sciences and in the historical development of civilization." Dr. Jones points out that despite high ideals and notable enthusiasm on the part of the race and its benefactors, most of the colored institutions calling themselves colleges are poorly equipped and ineffectively organized and administered. Only a few institutions at present have the student body, equipment and teaching force of a genuine college, but a number of institutions do some work of college grade. The location of two or more colleges for Negroes in Selma, Ala.; Little Rock, Ark. Atlanta, Ga.; New Orleans, La.; Holly Springs, Miss., is recommended. CAUSE OF RACE MIGRATION Lynching and Bad Politics Responsible For Great Exodus, Says Manning. In a stirring address delivered at the Salem Methodist Episcopal church, New York, recently, Joseph C. Manning, a former member of the Alabama legislature, aroused great enthusiasm by giving first hand facts about conditions in the south as they relate to the colored people. Mr. Manning is a southern white man who believes in fair play and equal justice to all citizens of this country without regard to race or color, and he practices the doctrine which he preaches. He predicted that before Jan. 1, 1918, one-half of the 8,000,000 colored people who reside in the south will leave for new homes in the north and west. “There is no real democracy in Alabama,” he said. “The trouble is the attitude of the south toward the Negro, and this is a condition that had its origin in politics. The Negro is being treated as he was before the war. The dominating political element in the south has lynched the constitution of the United States, the same as it has lynched colored men in Alabama. This, with the barbarous practice of intimidating the Negro, is responsible for the exodus.” Methodists Meet at Attleboro, Mass. The annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church for 1918 will be held at Attleboro, Mass, beginning on Monday, Aug. 26. The New England district conference of the said church in its session at Danbury, Conn., Sept. 1 reported its work as 'being in a very flourishing condition. WHY THEY COME NORTH! Hon. Joseph C.

The letter is as follows: 1005 Second Avenue, Birmingham, Ala. July, 30, 1917. Hon. Joseph C. Manning, 214 West Thirty-fourth street, New York City. Dear Mr. Manning: There is not a man living who knows the whole situation of alarming conditions that exist among my people in the South.

Always your friend, C. A. WOZE. On January 15 the Sun published a letter from my pen on the subject of "Negro Migration From the South," and I then stated that unearable conditions were causing the self-exile of colored people from the South and that it would keep up until a half million had left for the North. That many have already left the South, and as many more will have come within the next six months. Just such incidents as related by Mr. Howze are a reason why life is intolerable for colored people in these States that have lynched the three men, and now, so freely and unrestrained, lynch colored people as a daily pastime. The re-election of President Wilson has caused the "South in the saddle" oligarchy to feel that they have the nation by the tail and a down hill SMITH-COMMINGS OBITUARY Baltimore, J. d—The funeral of James A. Smith, the veteran Cleveland, O., postoffice employee, whose death was mentioned in The Gazette last week, was held here at the home of his niece, Mrs. Lillie Taylor, 707 George street, last Monday afternoon. Services were conducted by Rev. L. Z. Johnson and W. H. Weaver. A letter from Postmaster Murphy of Cleveland, was read, in which the deceased was eulogized. Mr. Smith was born in this city 63 years ago and educated in a private school here. He had been connected with the Cleveland postoffice for the past 26 years. A widow (Mrs. Lillie Smith) and five sisters are among the surviving relatives. Harry S. Cummings, Esq., a member of the city council for many years from the 17th ward, this city, is dead. He was the first Afro-American to take a seat in an elective body in this state. His funeral, Sept. 10, was attended by many prominent members of the race.

This is the same brand that would like to pass laws to keep the "furriers" out of Georgia. Their ambitions are to buildup the poor Negro and make a peon of him, and burn and hang a few of them occasionally. They are sadden in ignorance and prejudice and unable to realize their own utter debasement, being semi-civilized and living in an atmosphere of primeval barbarianism. Their cowardice is manifest by their desire to crawl out of confinement and to seek refuge in such ignorantuses and the only cure for them is a club in the hands of a husky cop. The secret service officers are behind this bunch of mavericks and I trust they will dehorn a few. I am no stranger, but have lived here all my life, and the breed is on a par with their far famed razorbacks. H. P. JOHNSON. Savannah, Ga., August 4, 1917. According to a periodical lynching, forced labor and cruel and senseless racial oppression may be blamed for the exodus of southern Negroes. The emigrants doubtless know that there are mobs in the north, too; and that the Negro in lot in some northern cities is by no means enviable. But they know that there is a law for black as well as for white in the northern states, and that it is usually effective. Northern lyncher, it few, whereas in the south they are.ny. The northern Negro is a political factor of weight commensurate with his numbers. In other words, the colored man in the northern states has a better chance for his life and a better chance to enjoy life than he has in the south. The south needs the Negro. The colored man is far more important to the welfare of the south, than to the progress of the north. The south is alarmed, for it can see no labor to take the place of the disappearing Negroes. So the south's present predicament appears to be a manifestation of retributive justice. It is a punishment for years of oppression and cruelty, for a regime which has been protested against vainly by the more intelligent men of the southern states. The colored men and women are coming from the land of lynchers to the land of the Their reception in East Asia and some other places would indicate that they are not altogether welcome. Yet it is clear that sporadic manifestations will not deter the pilgrims from leaving a land where there is no law or a special law for the Afro-American. It should be a warning to the south. A general acceptance and recognition of the principles of fair play and justice may persuade some of the Negroes to remain. Otherwise many white southerners must work who have seldom or never worked before—Cleveland Plain Dealer, (dem.)

Tillman, "jim" Vardaman, Jno. Sharp Williams, Congressman Heflin and other southern blatherskites when they approach almost any phase of the "Negro question." Law Director Fitzgerald, Saturday, named Attorney W. D. Cole, (white), as assistant police prosecutor to succeed Fred Irvine, resigned. This is the position the Maschke-Davis administration refused our people last year in January. It will be remembered that Attorney Roy Checks and others were candidates for the place. At that time it was given to an Italian attorney of Ward II by the name of Marco, who, according to the local daily newspapers, was forced to resign when Irvine was appointed. Now Cole succeeds Irvine. Still the Maschke-Davis administration refuses to give this position to our people. We are entitled to it, beyond all question or doubt, just as we are entitled to clerkships at the city hall which are also refused us by the Maschke-Davis administration. NEGROES NOT GUILTY The Associated Press is not a friend to humanity; neither is it fair to the Negro. An instance of its perfidy is brought out by the draft riots in Oklahoma. In the face of all the Negro has to contend with in the way of race prejudice, that organization deliberately and falsely accused the colored people of Oklahoma of taking part in armed insurrection against the conscription laws. Sunday's papers were full of the canard against the race, while Monday's papers and those that have followed with accounts during the week make no mention of any colored people whatsoever taking part in the uprising. Close personal information received by the editor of the Saturday News affirms that there was not a single Negro in the movement, and of the one hundred and seventy-five insurgents captured there is not a Negro among them. The average news hound cannot understand the sublime loyalty of the Negro. It is a deep mystery to him how a race of people can be lynched, burned and proscribed against and still be firm in its allegiance to the flag and the laws of its country. He anticipates and is always expecting the Negro to do this or that against constituted authority, because it does not extend to him the protection that the Constitution declares is due him. Consequently, whenever there is a Negro within a hundred miles of an insurrection, the young men of the news never fail to put him in it. Too many white people are dull to the history of the Negro race in America, or being conversant with it, are slow to accord to the sable sons of America full credit for their loyalty to a flag, the impression of whose stripes are indelibly imprinted upon their backs. Young news cubs know what they would do and what their ancestors would do if they were treated like the Negro is being treated, but the Negro is essentially different. He does not insurrect against his government because his government frowns and then winks at the atrocities of the labor unions against the lives of his people in East St. Louis. His faith is sublime and constant. He believes that it will all come right in the end. However, there must be some one of sober and sane authority in the Associated Press; and when it was discovered that there was not a single colored man connected in any way with the Oklahoma rioting against conscription, why should the great news disseminator, which the day before had falsified the sacred record of the colored race, have not done something to make amends for the damage it had done? But that is not the way with the Associated Press. It published a canard against the race that went far and wide throughout the world, and when it discovered that either a mistake had been made or a shorter and uglier word had been exemplified, it makes no effort to set its mistake right. The Associated Press is said to be engaged in a high calling when it collects and disseminates news to the world without profit; but when it deserts to the slough of fomenting race strife, of piling upon the already overburdened shoulders of the Negro odium which he does not deserve, it invites the contempt of all honorable thinking people. It is easy to say that the Negro is guilty of anything; but it seems to be extremely difficult for a white organization like the Associated Press to acknowledge that it has done the Negro a wrong—Hopkinsville (Ky.) Saturday News; Phil H. Brown, editor.

C., August 16, 1917, Editor Gazette, Dear Friend: — We have been informed that there is a rumor going about the country that Howard University will not open for school work in September. You will greatly oblige by telling all of your patrons that the advertisement in your paper is true and bona fide. Howard University will open in September as usual! Professional Departments, October 1, 1917; all other departments. September 19, 1917; registration days, Sept. 17 and 18. Yours very truly, GEO. WM. COOK, Secretary. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agout and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially destroys of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton Piqua, Mt. Vernon, East Liverpool, Akron, Lima, O., and other places particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will oblige us greatly by sending at once the addresses of persons in the cities named and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Our advertisers want your trade Those who do not ask for it in The Gazette certainly care little, if at all for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in this paper. That $100 "Birth-of-a-Nation" fund still remains in the committee treasurer's hands. Rev. J. S. Jackson's two motions (at Antioch and St. John's church meetings) have not disturbed it in the least, it seems. Some one should take up this matter, in a proper way, at once, and dispose of that money. It should be put to some good use, and not allowed to longer remain in any one's possession. Either this, or return it to the contributors. Charley Hackley was one of the latter, and should "get busy." Will the colored man who witnessed an accident on Saturday, August 11th, this year, at E 400th and Euclid Ave., and seriously injured him, write Box 4, The Gazette office or call as soon as possible.

North Carolina State Board to Conduct Vigorous Health Campaign To teach North Carolina colored people how to live freer from disease and more in accord with the science of sanitation in their communities is the object of a new piece of health work which the state board of health is now planning to start. The plans in detail will soon be complete, and the work will start in one or more counties this month. While the state board of health will have full direction of the work, intelligent men and women of the colored race who know their people and communities will be the agents. They will organize community health leagues and will instruct the members as to the kind and manner of work the league is expected to do. The math plan of the work is to organize the health league in connection with some other live organization in the community, perhaps the church or the school, and to interest the whole community as far as possible, particularly the leading men and women, in the object of the league. The state board of health will furnish various methods of giving health information and otherwise creating interest, including magic lantern pictures, health exhibits, lantern slides and lectures and free health literature. The agent or organizer will furnish programs for the regular meetings of the league. Reports of the work will be made to the state board of health. The Rev. James E. Holder of Kinston has been selected as one of the agents for this new work. He has had two or more years' experience in health and community uplift work among his people, and his services have been appreciated by both races in the communities he has served. Health work among the colored race is said to be good seed sown in good ground. In the past few years much progress in health work by Negroes has been noted in the state, particularly that of a number of Negro health clubs. The race is alive to the important task of reducing its abnormally high death rate. CONFERENCES ON EDUCATION Personnel of Great Meeting Held at Washington Aug. 30-31. Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, received the following communication from the Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, the early part of August: My Dear Mr. Prillerman — You are cordially invited to attend a conference on Negro education to be held in Washington, Aug. 30 and 31. The conference is the whole problem of the education of Negro students in the United States and especially the recommendations made in the report on Negro education, which has been prepared by the bureau of education in co-operation with the Phelps-Stokes fund. The two volumes of the report have been mailed to you. The group is a large, well-organized group: State superintendents of seventeen southern states, state superintendents of Negro schools, Southern university race commission, representatives of church boards and educational funds, representatives of fifteen important educational institutions, presidents of Negro schools, representatives of donors to Negro schools. The more important subjects discussed will be: The improvement and increase of elementary schools, the need for secondary schools and teacher training, the need for professional training, the demand for college and professional education, co-operation of private agencies and corporate agencies among themselves and with public agencies. The meetings will be held in the auditorium of the new interior department building, whose entrance is on F street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, N. W. The first session will open at 10 a. m. Thursday, Aug. 23. BIG MEETING IN NEW YORK Propitious Outlook For Equal Rights League Convention, Sept. 18-20. The fact that representatives from more than fifteen states have indicated their intention of attending the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league to be held at Mother Zion church, New York, from Sept. 18 to 20, include, its evidence of the widespread interest which our people are taking in movements for race welfare. Those in authority in nation, state and municipalities, sworn to enforce the law, should be told of their shortcomings. We all live under the same flag (and we honor it) and are subject to the same laws. Therefore as citizens the colored people ask for fair play. The league will deal with questions of law enforcement and not law by lynching. CARLTON'S NEW BUILDING. Cornerstone Laid For Branch of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. The cornerstone of the new $200,000 building for the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn was laid on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9, at 3 o'clock. E. H. Wilson, chairman of the branch, presided. Addresses were delivered by E. P. Lyon, president of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A; Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary, and other noted men. The stone was placed in position by George Foster Peabody, donor of the first building used by the Carlton avenue branch. Among the articles placed in the cornerstone was a group picture of the present committee of management. Rufus M. Meroney is the efficient secretary of the branch. Sunday Schools Meet at Jamaica, N. Y. The quarterly meeting of the New York state Sunday school convention was held at the Shiloh Baptist church, Jamaica, N. Y., on Thursday, Sept. 6. The object of holding these quarterly meetings is to arouse greater interest among the various schools for rendering more effective Christian service. Axiom of Everyday Life.

A rough diamond is an octahedral or eight-sided crystal, never perfect in shape, often very deformed or distorted. As the stones vary in shape each one must be separately considered with regard to getting the most possible weight out of it. Some stones are so shaped that a little piece may be sawed or cleaved without reducing the size of the polished diamond that may be made out of. Other stones are so thick or so elongated that it is necessary to make two or more stones out of them by cleaving or sawing. "Cleaving" is spitting the stones on the lines of the grain of the diamond. This grain runs in four directions, paralleling the faces of the crystalization, and is done by scratching a groove on the surface of the stone, with a sharp indentation another diamond inserting in the groove to create blade and striking the back of the blade a sharp blow with a light hammer. The stones after being divided by cleaving or sawing are examined and marked by the foreman with ink for the next operation and goes to the cutter. He cements it on the end of a rotating spindle, and holding another diamond against it, gradually wears away the corners until the stone becomes round. The stone is now ready for the first station of polishing or putting on the facets. The stone is then crushed its brilliancy. First the table or top facet, the culet or bottom facet, is laid on the stone; then the long facets that extend from he table and culet to the edge or "girldle" of the stone go on, at an exact angle in their relation to the table and culet facets, and last the small facets. This putting on the facets is done by men cled polishers and is accomplished by putting the diamond in a holder and pressing it into the surface, then pregamed with diamond dust, that revolves literally at a speed of 2500 revolutions a minute. The polishier, after finishing each facet passes the diamond in its holder to a man called a "versteller" whose duty it is to turn the diamond in the holder, the stone being turned for each facet, and there are 88 facets. A polishier working on two stones at a time can polish in a week that diamonds that were cut in 1 carat each. The bulk of the rough diamonds from which good to fine stones are new cut in the whole world, come from the De Beers Consolidated Diamond mines, and, as only the better class of diamonds are cut in America, hence the most of the rough that is polished in America comes from the syndicate, which they sell to the American cutter in lots having a value of $100,000 to $150,000 for spot cash. The rough stones come in free of the fine, while cut diamonds are in the form of until lately these American lots of rough were almost all perfect stones, but they are putting in a larger percentage of imperfect stones, though charging the same price as they did before, thus increasing the cost of the diamond by lowering the grading instead of outright raise in prices. There are ten cutting firms who produce something over ten millions dollars worth of cut diamonds a year and many of these diamonds reach Economy Centre, where you should buy yours. There is only one way to get the real race news and that is to take "the old reliable" Gazette. BEST FOR THE BLOOD—Puro Horns. Sold only at Brown Drug Co. cor.

When Miss Olive Hale, on assignment from school headquarters, reached a school in Collinwood, recently, over which a Mr. Whitney presides as principal, she was told by him that she could not teach in that building because of her color or race (or both), it is said. Cleveland's main draft board certified several hundred more names of selective service men, Monday, making a total of more than 2,500 men ready for the 40 per cent quota to be sent to Chili-cothe next week. The fact that our men are barred from the 40 per cent quota has made it necessary to call several hundred additional men for service. Charles and Helen Davis, husband and wife, 1125 Scoville Ave, are held by police on charges of housebreaking and grand larceny. They are charged with taking $125 worth of jewelry and clothing from the home of Fred Spaulding, 2560 E. 14th St., and other articles from the home of Lester Becker, 4630 Scoville Ave. The composition of the "Ohio Federation for Uplift Among Colored People" is certainly amusing. At a recent meeting in Cincinnati of its executive board a motion prevailed appointing a man for state work. This appointment carried with it a salary of $120 per year, with travel expenses, and was accorded Nahum Brasher, of this city. Mr. Chas. H. Mitchell, of St. Paul, an old Oberlin "boy," arrived, Sept. 13, and left, Monday for home. He visited his sister, Mrs. Lottie Green, and his daughter, Miss Hortense Mitchell, deputy probation officer. He is a conductor in the sleeping car service of a northwestern railroad. Mr. Mitchell, a boyfriend of the editor of The Gazette, paid our sanctum several very pleasant visits. "Starlight" Boyd was all smiles, and up and down Central Ave, Tuesday night. That night, the reason for his biliary was apparent. The big gambling house on the top floor of the Clayton block reopened, Tuesday night, after closed several days pending the Company investigation. Now age will see whether, or not, Chief Rowe's "hands have been united by the investigation," as announced so freely by the local daily press, last week. A councilman who can live the past two years in ward 11 without making a single public protest against or criticism of the vile conditions existing there, and who has the nerve to ask reelection in the face of this and too much more of a like nature to enumerate, ought to be simply "snowed under" by an avalanche of votes in November. This is what Tom Fleming surely has coming to him, this fall, on election day. Mark our prediction. The Cleveland City Railway recently settled for $1,000 with Theodore Taylor, 2320 E. 30th place, who sustained severe injuries several weeks ago, when a Scovill Ave car was started too soon. The company and hospital physicians contended for a settlement of not more than $100, scouting Dr. E. A. Bailey's claim that his patient was seriously injured. X-ray tests of Mr. Taylor's injuries, made by disinterested parties, supported Dr. Bailey's claims. Miss Hazel Mountain, president of the C. C. C.

Ward 11 burglaries broke into G. J. Tate's Central Shirt shop, 2922 Central Ave, last week Wednesday night, and stole $125 worth of silk shirts, expensive sweaters, tine jerseys, etc. This is the second time in the past six months that this store has been burglarized. The same night burglaries broke into Lewis Bros. tail shop, Central Ave, near E. 31st St, and stole between $300 and $500 worth of goods. Guess the Central Ave district does not need a "cleaning up." The leaven appears to be working Mr. Edward S. Montagu, England's Secretary for India, informs that the government has decided to recognize the principle of granting commissions in the army to Indians, and that nine recommendations have been made. This is a straw. Much of the continent of Africa is under British rule, and it would seem that what is good for India ought to be good for enlightened Africans in those British colonies in Africa and the West Indies which England has for many years used as dumping grounds for some of her discredited statesmen, and a great many of her decaved politicians who lord it over her black and colored subjects to their own advantage. It is not the policy of the Crown (English) government to grant representative government to Her Majesty's subjects in the British colonies where the black and colored population is in excess of her white British subjects. Friendly white people selected Douglas; more or less unfriendly white people selected Washington, and right now we are about to have another leader hand-picked by the white people in the person of our own dear Roscoe "Conklin" Simmons, who seems to have talked himself into a leadership. At any event he will be greatly grieved, if he is not surprised, when he learns that anybody is looking for the leader of the colored race. He repeated so glibly that he was "the one who brought Turks to logical successor of Booker T. Washington," that he believes it himself, and has got all of us half-way of the same opinion. The Saturday News had some grave doubts as to the propriety of incorporating Roscoe's leadership in fee simple as the Simon-pure requirement of the race and so stated itself, but he was selected by the white people, and when they do this they mean for it to stand, and the colored people sooner or later, "pity, then endure and then embrace." -Hopkinsville (Ky.)

Modern Methods of Fitting Glasses He who thinks it is easy and simple to measure the eyes for glasses knows but little about it. Moderan optometry is not satisfied with the prescription of lenses which will simply aid to help imperfect vision. The scientific examination of the eye must involve tests scientifically conducted by various objective and subjective methods as to the retractive error, the accommodative and convergence reserves and the poise and harmony of the muscles engaged in binocular vision. In addition thereto, there must always be made, preferably in the initial stages of the examination, a careful ophthalmoscopic and external eye examination of purposes and conditions of vision, of abnormal conditions which conditions fall within the province of him who is supposedly trained to take care of them. Modern optometry has not increased its number and kinds of ocular tests for the purpose of impressing the public in order to obtain a higher fee or a higher price for the article delivered, not for the purpose of throwing a glamour over the science and art of refraction, but because the slightest derangements in ocular conditions may result in impaired ocular efficiency and hence affect the health, comfort or usefulness of the individual. The patient and practitioner must both remember that it is the intangible condition of a glamour which becomes tangible in the hands of the mechanic who offers the material sciences. Very few professional and scientific men offer their services without ocular what is needed in any particular ocular care, whether it be lenticular assistance, operative or medical attention, or all but rest, is that the actual compensation of modern visual optics, and optometry is one well versed in the detection of abnormal ocular conditions, thoroughly trained and versed in all the procedures and the most modern ocular reparation and the most modern ocular lens optics. He makes no useless tests, carries out those which he does make with care and skill and demands in return a compensation for his services. The American people are not forced to ask his services, for there are many fakir catering to and preying upon the public under various titles; a title or the name of oculist, optometrist or optician is no guarantee at present as to the qualifications of him who calls himself any of these. As a result, therefore, it behoves that portion of the public which need ocular attention to remember that in the last analysis, there are to receive from somebody some kind of treatment and to, therefore, investigate and inquire into the competence of him who deals in anywise with human vision. If any member of any community places a 'ten cent' vision upon his eyes, it is to be remembered that it is HIS eyesight the care of which he is thus taking into his own hands. With the advancement of education along other lines has come progress in optometrical training. The Ohio State University maintains the highest standards of entrance to and instruction in the science of optics as applied to visual needs in its School of Applied Optics. It maintains its free clinics for the use of its students, who may receive attention at the hands of fellow students practicing under competent and rigid supervision. Its doors are open at the university where the student whatever service may be rendered. By both didactic and clinical training the modern optometry of our universities aims to put into the field of eye work men and women with full quota of scientific training and ethical and mental competency. It is to be borne that practitioners of medicine will, in turn, bolster up and extend their training requisite for the assumption of the title of ophthalmologist and oculist as to give to the public of the near future a set of practitioners who are thoroughly competent to meet the heat and open eyes. This movement is now under way and bearing fruit. The future public will thus be hely served by the skilled oculists and the skilled refractionists who come out as the products of these advanced educational propaganda. How Glasses Originated The invention of modern spectacles is ascribed to Roger Bacon. Alexander de Spina is said to have made spectacles and to have tattled others their construction. We find in the paintings and tapestries of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries evidences of the modern large lenses mounted in shell, horn and iron rings—crude of course. The guilds of spectacle makers received recognition by royalty in France and England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; the Most Worshipping Company of Spectacle Makers still exists in England and claims the names of some of Britians most famous scientists. But all good things have their period o fdecadence and everything and everybody worth while has to be besieged at times by "those who look down their noses." Naturally, optics did not escape and spectacles came into disrepute due to those who claimed that spectacles were an invention of the Devil on the basis, we believe, that if the Lord had intended man to wear spectacles. He would have sent him into the world equipped with a pair and that, therefore, man was contributing to the machinations of his Satanic Majesty if he attempted to tamper with God's will. But the fact that the individuals may not have been so far wrong in some particulars, for the devil perchance finds himself recarnecate today in him who sells "spees" without knowledge, without skill, of the cheapest grade possible, and of the highest price obtainable. Society has not lost such individuals as yet and the American public is solely to blame by reason of their gullibility and 'ostensible desire to obtain something for nothing.

A square collar of self-material finishes the neck, though white may be used instead of yellow, if preferred. Straight bands trim the sleeves and the pockets are gathered. Because some of the most important sections of this model are small, particular attention is called to the cutting guide, which should be studied thoroughly before any attempt is made to cut the dress. It is all so simple, however, that mistakes are impossible if directions are followed. In order to cut each section in duplicate, first take enough of the material to accommodate sections K, G, D, G and I, and doubt it see that the right sides will face each other. Now place each of the sections named so that the large '0' perforations will rest on a lengthwise thread just in the position shown in the guide.

The one-piece sleeves are gathered to deep cuffs. If preferred the pocket may be omitted. In medium size the blouse requires 27/8 yards 36-inch material.

Fold the remaining goods, then lay the collar and the back on the lengthwise folds, so the sections will be visible.
