FRANCIS H. WARRREN, ESQ. Wins an Important Eight Day Suit in the County Courts at Detroit for the Orangemen. Detroit, Mich.—Concluding a four and a quarter column account of a great legal victory here of the order. District, April 13, 1918. Organ of the Orangemen, published in Chicago, society. "Let praise be rendered where due. Several issues of the Courrier ridiculed us and insulted our attorney by reference to his color. Anxious to lose by no handepoint, I confess I protested but the sneezer of the courrier uses his color. Our corresponded to the truth. But correspondence, dispelled fear, and his high standing at the local bar, was evident. His conduct of the case to victory proves that no man could have served us better. He worked. He had the case. He drove straight some. He has graved many always, and for the winner—Francis H. Warren deserves the hanks of the Orange Order." Attorney Warren's success in the prosecution of a number of big lawwrites in the last year has been the result of his great work, his hosts of friends throughout the country to none of whom it is more pleasing than to "The Old Reliable" magazine. He has a helpmate in Mrs. Warren that he fully appreciates, to her. FROM CAMP SHERMAN Chillicothe, O, May 1, 1918. Edition, Gazette, Dear Sail: —After full in the hustle and bustle of Ohio's largest camp which opened last September and the transfer of a number of our boys to other camps, camp Sherman has taken on new life, being mostly one commissioned officer, but quite aptly buitting the camp in real spring-like condition and making ready for the new draftees coming who are eager to fit themselves for the service. Early in April, several hundred draftees of both races arrived from different Ohio counties. A few more of our boys also arrived from other counties, and several thousand to this camp. After the transfer of the boys to other camps, "non-cons" did all the work from "consum" to kitchen—police—duty. All went about their work carefully, some working in the states, hauling fertilizer, gravel and other materials, and a collection of all the items of 1817 in the autumn. The reader can easily see the advantage the new men have over those who have already had training here. But we are too busy to comment on it. The "non-cons" are in school now. The officers of Sec. O. are doing all they in for their men, who, gladly do their work, are dedicated to all the universities to learn all they can about the war game. The signal corps is making fine progress and has promoted a few more commissioned officers. This shows what we are trying to do to uphold the honor of the age and make those who are left behind and are doing what they can for the war. The Y. M. C. A's are kept in good spirits by the secretaries and others and are making the camp ring with some real amusements. furnished mostly by talent secured from the men in the camp, many of whom are a great loss to the theatrical arts and the theatreville amusements and musical play. We mainly want you to know that we are alive from toe to crown, at Camp Sherman. Corporal Samuel W. Tyus. 40th Co. 40th Sg. Bu. LIFE'S SUNNY SIDE "Can you meet this bill today?"

"Editor Gazette, Dear Sirt:—We are ready to leave at a moment's notice for France to down 'Old Kaiser Bill.' The boys are all well trained and in it; as we have some of the best of enemies the army, go to the rifle range every day and they are 'making good' Cap, Mills, of Co. F, is one of the most efficient officers at Camp Grant, and the boys of his company think a great deal of him. Rev. K. J. Kaeibson (white) of Chicago prescribed for us Sunday, and the old choir (white) sang. It was a great song. "The Old Reliable" Gazette to know that we are all well cared for here and don't suffer for anything that may aid to our comfort and pleasure. It has been rumored that our regiment, the 165th Inf., will leave for somewhere in France; by May 15 the regiment will be at top, especially those of Co. F, a fine set of boys, mostly all Ohioans. They have a song about Ohio. "Oh! We will win the war and know the reason." First Sgt. Booth of Co. F is one of the best in the service. All of the boys think lots of him because he sees that everyone gets a squash. "Oh! We will win the war and know the reason that he didn't join the army before he did. Pvt. John Prather of Dayton, Ohio, has been assigned to beautify the "Y" landscape and since he has had charge, the "Y" books like a beautiful mansion. He has had a special course in landscape work and Sergeants Duplessis and Gaines were recently on a furrow and enjoyed the trip very much. All of us are getting on nicely and we don't want any of our parents or friends to worry, because we are well treated—better than we would be if we were in civilian life. Pvt. Raymond Smith was put in carriage. He went to Youngstown but he wasn't of time, and says that there isn't place like the army, and there isn't. Pvt. H. W.

DOINGS OF THE RACE Seventy-five thousand of our boys have already been certified for service in the New National Army. Melville Charlton, was musical director of the opera, "Martha," rendered at the Waldorf-Astoria, March 14 in New York City. A Wickford class, one of our boys who stole a bicycle was given FIVE years at hard labor, while a white man who stole $1,900 was given TWO years. The London Observer has published a list of twelve Negro officers in the West African forces who have been stationed at Maguire, his Royal Highness Daudt Chai, King of Uganda, has been decorated by King George with the Order of St. Michael and St. George. The District of Columbia has purchased fourteen hundred copies of Miss L. E. Wilkes" "Story of Fred Boudlass," to be used as Literature for pupils of the seventh grade. W. H. Graham was awarded third place for his composition, "March Military," in the New National Army Musical Contest held at Camp Finston, Kans., among one thousand contenders. John Philp Sound was the judge. The report of the John F. Shuter Fund for the year ending September 30, 1917, shows appropriations of $90,150 for county training schools, $12,000 to Hampton and Tuskegee, $9,150 to private-secondary schools, $9,150 to secondary schools. The income from the year 1916 included a gain from previous years, was $127,523. In Charleston, S. C., our women are being employed to load and unload freight cars and as carpenters.

Colonel Young is still imprisoned in Ohio on full pay with nothing to do. The Examining Board recommended that Colonel Young be "retained in the SERVICE. The Secretary of Welfare approved this award, and directed that "Colonel Young be placed on ACTIVE DUTY." The Adjunct General knowing the difference between "active service" and "active duty" immediately retired Colonel Young from active SERVICE and placed him on active service without to do ELVE MILLION (PROFESSIONAL) MANTH that COLONEL YOUNG BE RESTORED TO "ACTIVE SERVICE!" THE CLLEVELAND (Ohio) GAZETTE opines that The Meddler's dictum, that Negroes who have achieved the greatest things have generally been helped more by white people than by their own people, or change in the charge for all sorts of argument. All of which is obviously quite true but, just the same, not decisive of much of anything since, in the open parliament of opinion, "the previous question" and "final vote" do not obtain. Nevertheless we are a bit curious to hear what pretense for "argument" of the question can be trotted out by "the other side."—Waxahachie (Tex.) Meddler. Good laborers really desire steady and satisfactory employment can call at The Gazette office and be assigned at once. IN-UNION IS STRENGTH CHARLES S. SMITH Cleveland's First Secretary to the Chief of Police Still "on the Job" —Recent Promotion Deserved While a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1896, serving his second term of two years each, the writer was promised by our friend, the chief executive of this city, at that time, Mayor Robert E. McKlisson, the privilege of naming a member of the local police force, providing of course that person was able to pass the civil service exam. We were none. None of our young men doing this, that year, we were obliged to wait until 1897 when Chas. S. Smith, a good portrait of whom is given above, not only passed the examination but stood at the head of the long list of successful ones. The chief of police, at that time, was George E. Corner, another friend of the writer's. He wanted a semographed book for secretaries and a good one, too, and not caring a "rap" about the question of race or color, he sent him to the writer with a request that the latter "get busy" in Charlie's behalf—something by J. Robert E. McKisson the way we had been doing for some time at Charlie's request, but un- knowingly, he was surprised to answer Mayor McKisson and Charlie. Another friend—Patrolman John Chaffin—passed the examinations at the same time that Charlie did. "On our birthday, Jan. 28, but in the year 1879, the mayor (McKisson) sent for the writer to come to the City Hall. When we reached his office he said: Smith for you; he has stood at the top of the list! George (meaning Chief Corner) wants him as his stenographer and private secretary. is John Chaffin a friend of yours, too?" "Sure," replied the writer. "Do you want him appointed?" "why of course," he replied, almost too surprised to answer. "Well, he'll be appointed; too," said the mayor. Subscribe Now!

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918. The National Liberty Congress will be held at Washington from June 24 to the 29th inclusive with June 23 as Liberty Sunday in the churches of the District of Columbia. A change in dates. Our A. & T. College at Greensboro, N. C., of which Prof. Dudley is president, unfurled a service flag April 21, which contained 61 stars, representing one captain, four lieutenants and 56 privates, former students of the college. This institution is in dire need of a larger appropriation from the N. C. Legislature this year. One of the strongest and most fearless protests against lynching ever issued by our people in this country, was recently sent from the south to President Wilson, his cabinet, the U.S. Congress, the governors and legislatures of the various states, and spread broadcast in all parts of the country. It was signed by more than 125 of our leading men of Atlanta, Ga.; P. J. Bryant, chairman, and L. H. King, secretary. The Charleston (S. C.) Times and Democrat of a recent date, in its "Orangeburg County Prosperity Proclamation Edition" gave a fine illustrated write-up of our S. C. State A. & M. College of which Prof. R. S. Wilkinson is president. Under him are 56 instructors and teachers; about 900 students and a superintendent in charge of the 90 acres of land attached to the school property. It is one of the most successful institutions of the kind in the south. "Among us are miserable spies whom Germany would soon dispose of," said Senator Harding. "I honor Germany for it. In justice to these 100,000,000 people there is but one place for the man with the torch and the bomb, and that is against a stone wall." And the Senator is right. While our soldier boys are going over the top in France, our safety first darlings, "slickers," are loiling over the roll-top in Washington, D.C. To those who complain that we are rushing partially-trained soldiers to France to meet the shock troops of Germany, the answer is that the shock troops positively refuse to wait until we can train our soldiers. The boys will have to make up in grit and gray matter what they have not received in training. It is but one, although the most trying, of all the many prices we are paying for not preparing when the Lustania went under the waters. There are only six or eight states that have failed to fill their quotas in regular army recruiting. There is no draft about this. The men have to volunteer. Consequently state pride has to replace governmental power in raising this quota. It is remarkable that six of these states are from the South. Louisiana recruited 3,231 soldiers out of 3,121 and is only 71 short. Arkansas has only raised 2,415 out of 2,148 and is 633 short. Mississippi has only raised 1,704 out of 3,634 and is 1920 short. North Carolina has only raised 2,952 out of 4,412 and is short 1,560. South Carolina has only raised 1,689 out of 3,030, and is 1,341 short. Virginia has raised 2,834 out of 4,122 and is 1,288 short. All southern states have seen to it, however, that "the colored man" has furnished his quota of drattes and volunteers, too, and MORE. When members of Congress or civilians complained for months of the slowness of the administration in the absolutely vital construction of ships, the complaints were denounced as "carping criticism," and the critics were pro-German or nearly as bad. But in the middle of April, 1918, after we had been at war a year and after the shipbuilding bill had been a law 19 months, Secretary to the President-Tumulty said, "The carrying forward of the construction work in the 130 shipyards in operation is so bad that it requires a reinforcement of the shipbuilding organization throughout the country." It is altogether likely that the critics sometimes make mistakes, but this statement of Tumulty's at the end of a year of war is a complete justification of the freedom that has been exercised in the expression of public opinion. We would be asleep yet, if it had not been for the critics who prodded the administration into action. SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY At.Wilson, N.C., week before last, the superintendent of public schools slapped an Afro-American (woman) school teacher in his office. An able bodied male member of the race stood by and saw it done and never offered to resent it in any way. May the good Lord have mercy on him. Our people of that section of the state should not, however. Down at Houston, Texas, about the same time a white Texan ordered a physician of the race from a seat in a Liberty Loan meeting, that was being addressed by Secretary McAdoo, and then punched him in the head because he remonstrated. Police refused to arrest the brutal and cowardly Texan and there the matter rests. Such things are not the exception in the South but the rule, and yet this country is helping to fight for world democracy and calling on the Afro-American to help in about every way the white American is trying to help. LORD HAVE MERCY! LET THERE BE SHIPS Since the war camp, this is how we have spent most of our war money: 45-90ths—We have loaned to our Allies. 30-90ths—We have spent for the Army. 9-90ths—We have spent for the Navy. 6-90ths—We have spent for ships. When Russia, at its inauspicious time and in its inopportune way, went Democratic, instantly there crystalized the world-thought: America has now become the bank for the Allies for men as well as money. Now, outside of rhetoric, to make America's millions of men effective, they must first be gotten there. Once there, they must be munitioned and maintained. To do this, cannot even the dull see that there must be myriads of ships? Not only enough ships to replace those destroyed by submarines, but enough to make submarines, existent or non-existent, a negligible quantity. Our ship building program should have been made three times what it was. It should now be made three times what it is. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we face an endurance test. Having the most money and the most men, we can win—with ships—with enough ships, and with ships in time. One ship in 1918 will be worth half a dozen in 1919. A special Liberty Bond sale, for ships would educate the people to the dimensions and meaning of the war and enough money could be raised to bridge the Atlantic with ships as Xerxes once bridged the Hellespont. Wilberforce, Ohio — President W. S. Scarborough has received a telegram from Adjutant General McCain, informing him that Wilberforce University is assigned a quota of twenty Class C men for the fourth Officers' Training Camp. These are he graduates, and are to report at Wilberforce. Wilberforce was called upon to send as many clerks and stenographers as possible to Camp Jackson, S. C., for service in France. Something New in an Antiseptic Our attention was called to this discovery. The manufacturers of FORMOSOL desired to use advertising space in the Gazette to bring it to the attention of our readers. But in view of the policy of the publisher of The Gazette, we declined to accept the advertisement until we knew more about the merits of FORMOSOL. We are glad to state that after a thorough investigation we find FORMOSOL to be everything the manufacturers claim. We can heartily recommend its use as being beneficial to the health of the public.—Adv. A public hearing to receive complaints of unreasonable increases in rents will be held (this) Friday, at 2 p. m., in the new City Hall council chamber, in support of Councilman Dittrick's resolution asking the federal authorities to take action toward regulating rents. High rent victims are asked to present their protests. Our people should take advantage of this opportunity. If you cannot attend the meeting, write to Mr. Dittrick at the new City Hall. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."— John Stuart Mill.

Only By an Drug C Brooklyn, N. Y. To the User of NATURAL GAS A WORD WITH YOU "The Fuel Administrator, in his warning, says that the fuel shortage is expected to be MORE ACUTE NEXT WINTER THAN IT HAS BEEN DURING THE PAST."—News Item. * * * * The increased demand for natural gas, due to its low price, its high efficiency, its convenience and its cleanliness, has reached a volume beyond the production obtainable. Last winter natural gas displaced, during the cold months, an average of 30,000 tons of coal per day. The peak load demand was equivalent to 40,000 tons in twenty-four hours. Additional pipe line facilities were provided and a greater volume of gas was delivered than in any like period. BUT THE SUPPLY OBTAINABLE WAS INADEQUATE TO MEET ALL DOMESTIC DEMANDS. Last year we suggested that homes be provided also with appliances for the use of other fuels. Many auxiliary appliances were installed, and where this was done the home was comfortable. Your response to our suggestion was liberal but not sufficient. We wish again to ask those who have now no means of using fuel other than gas, to see to it that such appliances are installed in order to insure comfort during the cold days next winter. We ask the assistance of all in order that, in so far as possible, an ample supply may be assured to care satisfactorily for domestic demands aside from gas used in furnaces. The rapid decline of supply in the field and the increased requirements by reason of the natural growth of cities render it necessary to advise you now of our inability to supply all demands. We urge you to follow the advice of the Administrator and purchase your fuel at as early a date as possible. The company has not in the past, does not now, and cannot promise for the future, an adequate supply of natural gas for all purposes. To those who adopted our suggestions last year, we are sincerely grateful. We ask your co-operation in inducing your neighbor to benefit by your experience. Our experts will advise free of cost to you. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA EAT CORN SAVE WHEAT Physician for 42 Years "L. M.

A party—with shoes and whisky sufficient to supply the neighborhood—was nipped in the bud by Vice Squad Patrolmen Isaacs and Havel early Tuesday. They caught two Negroes in the reef of a house at Sevillian, and 12 other men, possibly were to be host, when arrested they had stowed to breathe after carting forty-one pairs of shoes and a barrel of whisky several blocks in a wheelbarrow.

Mr. Johnson, a distinguished member of the race, came to the city on April 20, to speak at St. John's A. M. E. church for the purpose of assisting in the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P.'s "Moorfield Storey" drive for new members. He was met at the E. 105th St. railroad station by F. E. Young to whom he expressed a desire for something to eat. The latter escorted Mr. Johnson to a restaurant in section of the city and both were refused service, presumably because of their race or color, or both. In opening his talk at the church, Sunday, April 21st, Mr. Johnson made brief reference to their harrowing experience and said that Cleveland was evidently in need of work the N. A. A. C. P. had been organized to do and was certainly right. That reminds the Gazette of the fact that in recent years it has frequently called on the local N. A. A. C. P. branch in vain, time and again, to assist in just such (civil rights) cases, and if it has ever done anything of the kind it has been kept "mighty" quiet. This is one of the several important charges that have been brought against the local organization to its detriment for a long time and it is hoped that the insulting treatment accorded the two gentlemen named—officials of the N. A. A. C. P.—by that color-line East End restaurant of Their legal way and promptly, too. Twenty-four ago, when a member of the Ohio legislature, the first bill the writer introduced was what is now the Ohio Civil Rights law, covering just such case as the one made by that restaurant refusal of Apr. 20. Both Messis, Johnson and Young can damage to the amount of $500 each and each can be a witness for the other. There can be no good excuse for a failure to do so. Such a failure would be a parody on the boasted claims of the members of the race in this city, many of whom have been contributing their good money to it for years and patiently awaiting just such action in favor of the race from it. Holding big meetings only, practically collecting money, etc., is getting monotonous and it is now high time for some such practical effort and action as will result from the institution of the Johnson and Young civil rights referred to. There would be little or no color-line drawing in the public places of entertainment, etc., of this city and state if our people would assert their manhood and use our Ohio Civil Rights law offender as through the column pleaded with them the column. The Gazette to do for the past twenty-four Talk is good sometimes but it is not enough when matters reach the stage of the Johnson-Young and similar experiences in this and other parts of Ohio, to say the least. The rest of Mr. Johnson's address was devoted to an account of the work of the national organization in the East St. Louis riot cases, the Louisville, Ky. surveillance and kindled matters. He is an interesting talker and a man of superior education and ability—too valuable a man to the race to be insulted and mistreated as he was, on April 20, in that East End restaurant. He was furnished a large and interesting audience, Sunday afternoon, and the audience and the meeting was a success.

Cleveland, N. Y.— James Stubbs, who lives two miles east of this village, in Onelda County, is known as one of the best hunters in this section. This winter when the State Conservation Commission granted permission to use ferrets for hunting rabbits in Oswego County, Mr. Stubbs' neighbors over the line "joshed" him because he could not enjoy the same privilege. The neighbors would hunt with ferrets, returning home nights with rabbits which they would display to Mr. Stubbs. But Mr. Stubbs was not to be outdone. A few mornings ago his neighbors saw him start out with a gun and a bag over his shoulder. They called to him that he "would get caught with his ferret," but he laughed. Late in the afternoon he returned home with ten rabbits which he showed to his neighbors. Mr. Stubbs did not use a ferret. Rats recently got into his cellar and were eating his vegetables. He set a box trap and a few days later caught an extra large rat. He made a metal collar, placed it around the rat's neck and fastened a long wire to the collar. Then he placed the rat in a bag and started out. Mr. Stubbs traced a rabbit to its hole, fastened the end of the wire to his belt and released the rat. The rat entered the hole and drove out the rabbit, which was shot. The rat was pulled from the hole, put in the bag and the hunt continued until ten rabbits had been shot. Mr. Stubbs says the rat is better than a ferret for the reason that it will not attack a rabbit. He has named it "Billie."

Harrisburg, Pa.—"Paper-soled slippers in midwinter worn over icy pavements, as contrasted with socks muffled in fur, are obviously a source of real danger," is the point made by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health Commissioner, in urging women to make their costumes accord with the winter weather. He stated in the same connection that men, as a rule, have made their dress fit the period of the year, but that there are dangers in extreme attention to adornment on the part of women. "Eve was the first human being to concern herself with the matter of costume," Dr. Dixon said. "Today, some evidence to the contrary, the primary object of clothing is to protect the body from heat and cold. Man's dress has through all ages, of necessity, conformed more or less to these practical purposes. "Women's clothing has been and continues to be subject to far greater extremes. While it would be far from desirable to take beauty and colo. out of our lives, for the sake of the wearer's health, certain reasonable precautions should be observed. "The growing army of women in business, whose occupation demands a more reserved style of dress, will in time exert an influence upon their sisters whose chief aim is personal adorment." CARRY WHISTLES AFTER DARK Cleveland Girls Blow Screechers When Accosted by Men. ter of choice, but when the escort is men are substituting the tin whistle for the man escort. No, not as a matter of choice, but when the escore is lacking, the whistle accompanies the girl out after dark. Miss Florence Kukura is the mother of the movement. She works nights and has got tired of being accosted on the way home by flirts. "Girls can carry a whistle in their vanity cases," said Miss Kukura. "If there isn't a policeman in the neighborhood when the call is sounded, there'll surely be some gallant man who'll respond." Find Way to Make Small Men Large Berkeley, Cal.—Discoveries that may result in human beings attaining any desired height with corresponding weight and that may provide a way to retard effectively the growth of cancer and other malignant. growths are announced at the University of California. Paramount in the discovery is the isolation of a substance (tethelin) produced at the base of the brain. Dr. T. B. Robertson, professor of biochemistry, says this substance produces growth. With the isolation of this substance the natural supposition is entertained that its administration to human beings is an imminent possibility and that this administration may be expected to produce an increase in the size and weight of the body, to renew inhibited growth, and to promote advance toward normal size in stunted bodies. Supplementary experiments by Dr. T. C. Burnett indicate that the substance is in a large measure responsible for cancer and that it may ultimately become possible to control the cancerous growth by inhibition.

NEVER ROBS POOR, BURGLAR ASSERTS Prisoner Declares the Sensation of Breaking Into Houses Is Irrelevant Elizabeth, N. J.—A thief who will not rob the poor—that is Joseph Anderson, a man 42 years of age, who has followed the "business" since he was 9, and who is not sorry for it, but rather delightls in his social status. Anderson is now in prison here, charge* with having robbed the home of former Councilman Herman De Selding. He told of his career to County Detective Galatin and said he had lived up to this code: "Never to break a pane of glass to enter a house. Never to jimmy a window. Never to carry a revolver. Never to rob a poor man. Never to drink. "There is a great sensation about being a thief." Anderson went on. "It is like a man who grows auto-mad. He does not know what he is doing at the wheel and neither does he care. After he has passed some danger he decides he will never do it again—and he repeats it immediately. "I take delight in being ; thief. To me there is something irresistible about it. I have often tried to figure out the charm, but unsuccessfully. From it all I have gained nothing save the desire to do it again. "The sensation in climbing over a porch and into a house at night, where your life might be euded any minute, would not appeal to many, but to me it does. The clammy feeling that runs down your back when death seems upon you is something that after a time breeds a feverish desire. Once out of the jaws of danger, you want to get back in again." Anderson refuses to reveal the way he enters houses without breaking windows or using a jimmy. OHIO WOMAN HAS KEPT FACE HIDDEN FROM MEN 25 YEARS Vow Made When She Was 20 After Fiance Had Become Husband of Her Sister. West Mentor, O.—Miss Harriet Martindale of this city, 45 years old, has kept her face concealed from the view of man for a quarter of a century. This is in pursuance of a row made when she was 20 years old. When a young woman Miss Martindale was engaged to marry a man a few years her senior. One night when walking alone a country road near her home, she saw her sister in the arms of her fiance. Three weeks later the mat. she was to have wed became the husband of her sister. Heartbroken, she solely vowed no man should see her face again, and through the use of a heavy well and a life of seclusion she has kept her word. She has requested that in the event of her death no man be allowed to see her. A woman friend has been requested to prepare her body for burial. Both the sister and her husband are deac. COW GOES TO SCHOOL WITH BOY AND PAYS HIS/EXPENSES Youth Gets Room and Board at Man hattan (Kan.) in Return Manhattan, Kan.—A. J. Jersey cow, the property of H. F. Erdley of Hiawatha, has an intrinsic value of $300, but it would not be possible to buy her from Erdley for several times that amount. A year ago Erdley sent his son, John, to Manhattan to attend the State Agricultural College, and he sent this cow with him. John took the cow to a Manhattan man, who fed it, used the milk and in return gave the boy his room and board. The board was figured as being $17 a month. At the end of the school year, after figuring in all expenses, the Marshman man now figures that he is $20 to the good. This year Erdley sent his son to school and sen, with him three cows, all sisters of the one who came to college last year, and the boy now expects to return home a capitalist. GUAM ISLAND WANTS TOADS Neeled to Eat Snails That; Cause Disease Among Cattle. Washington, D. C.—Common toads are desired by the Governor of Guam and Capt. Roy C. Smith, U. S. N., in an effort to eradicate a deadly disease prevalent among cattle of the island possession. Toads with revenous appetites and particularly fond of snails are especially preferred, as, the captain says, snails are responsible for the disease. Captain Smith appealed to the Navy Department, urging that an immediate shipment of loads be sent to him. Navy officials confess they are unable to comply and, will forward the request to the Department of Agriculture. HAD TO PITCH 1,000 STONES "Never Again!" Says Boy Who Paid Court's Penalty. Lynn, Mass.—Leonard Crowder, 10 years old, threw the last stone of his young life Wednesday afternoon, when he paid the penalty imposed by Judge Henry T. Lummus in the juvenile session of the District Court and pitched 1,000 stones in succession in a gravel pit while Probation Officer Thomas A. Farmer did the counting. It took the youngster one hour and thirty minutes to complete his sentence. Crowder was arrested after he had thrown a pebble which destroyed the eye of one of his companions. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 4, 1918 There is a vast difference between even the writing of a clever play and the writing of a good, strong motion picture scenario. The very first things the newcomer must learn are the peculiar limitations and vast possibilities of the camera. A play is rehearsed and little changes made each day as the rehearsals continue. But each day one is looking at the thing in the form it is eventually to be seen. That is, the audience will hear the voices and actually see the person in the flesh as at the rehearsal of the play. How different in the motion picture studio! A five-reel scenario, with its three or four hundred scenes, is ready for production. Rehearsals are in order. The voice is used and speeches uttered as at the rehearsal of the spoken drama. But just here is where the director who is a raw recruit, especially from the theater, is apt to be misled as to values. He must never forget for a moment that that voice is a negligible quantity as far as the finished product is concerned, and that only a photographic representation of the actor is seen. Here is one place where long and conscientious study of that sensitive instrument, the motion picture camera, is necessary. With the proper understanding of the camera and a careful study of the star's head, profile, three-quarters or full face, the wise director need only let his star be seen at her best. It would take more space than I am allotted to point out the things peculiar to motion picture production that must first be learned if one would be a successful producer. From the inception of the story, the writing of the scenario, the selection of the cast, the selection of the star, photography, development of film, cutting of film, splicing and subtilizing—it is some long job, all of which needs to be thoroughly understood. To do if well, it were wisest to take off one coat, roll up one's shirt sleeves, and go to it. Be a super if necessary. The top of the motion picture ladder of success has a few men who so began in the movies. Many atrocities in motion picture production and some very fine things can be attributed to those who have entered the motion picture arena by way of the stage door. The atrocities result in a measure from a feeling of superiority and over-developed ego on the part of the playwright, directors and star from the spoken drama. They are always going to revolutionize the picture business and set heretofore unattained standards in motion picture production. It were better they attained the standards first, and then did their talking—Film Fun. ROCKEFELLER'S ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN Here are some of the pointed sentences dropped informally—at golf or automobiling or at the table—by the most remarkable man the world of business has ever produced: "The most important thing for a young man starting life is to establish a credit—a reputation, character. He must inspire the complete confidence of others. "The hardest problem all through my business career was to obtain enough capital to do all the business I wanted to do and could do, given the necessary amount of money. You must establish a credit (character) before you can hope to have people lend you money. "The first large bank loan I received—it was $2,000, a big sum in those days—was granted me only because the head of the bank made himself familiar with my mode of life, my habits, my industry and learned from my former employers that I was a young man who could be trusted. "Nowadays young men—and others—want to have too much done for them. They want to be presented with bonuses; they want all sorts of concessions." "To get on, young men should study their business thoroughly, work carefully, accurately and industriously, save their money, and then either become partners by buying a share of the business or go out and form a business of their own. "They must be self-reliant. They must not expect to have things handed them for nothing. They must make themselves strong by becoming able, brainy workers, by establishing a credit and by accumulating every dollar they can save after doing their full duty to society. "The way business is conducted now, it is easy for a man to buy shares in it and thus participate in the profits. "As for opportunities, there are ten today for every one there was sixty years ago. There were then few opportunities and very scanty means of taking advantage of them. Now large opportunities constantly spring up everywhere and we have a wonderful currency and credit system for enabling people to take hold of them."—Leslie's.

MOUSE IN GINGER ALE After His Recovery He Sues Cafe Where He, and Girl Companion as Well, Were Shocked. Buffalo, N. Y. — A mouse in a bottle of ginger ale served at the Old Teck Cafe so upset the stomach of Frederick Megregor, a salesman, that for a long period, he says, he was unable to work or eat. He is suing the Vartray Water Company, manufacturers of the ginger ale, and Hans Guy Geyer, proprietor of the cafe, in the city court for $475 damages. Megregor told Judge Noonan that he went to the cafe one night accompanied by Miss Grace Hickley. They had a little supper and after a few dances ordered cooling drinks. Megregor took a Porto Rican rickey, one of the ingredients of which is ginger ale. A waiter poured the drink and left the ginger ale bottle on the table. Looking up from a grapejuice highball, Miss Hickley saw, she testified, what she thought was a string protruding from the neck of the ginger ale bottle. McGregor called a waiter, who gave the supposed string a tug. Out of the bottle he pulled a small house mouse by the tail. McGregor and Miss Hickley became nauseated, they testified. McGregor took his companion home. He went to work two days later, he said, and then became so sick that he had to go to his home in Canada, where he spent two weeks recuperating. But the mouse was still on his mind when he came back, he declared, and the mental picture of it soaking in his ginger ale so upset him, he testified, that he was able to work only half the time for three weeks after he came back. McGregor said his illness cost him '$96 in income. Dr. James E. Sullivan testified that he had attended McCregor and that McGregor had stomach cramps for four days. Mr. Geyer and Edward P. Pattison of Mount Morris, president of the Vartray Water Company, admitted the presence of the mouse in the ginger ale bottle, but said they hadn't any idea how it got there. COULDN'T TEMPT CUPID, NOT EVEN WITH MONEY Romeo Keeps Shoving Bills Under Girl's Door Until He Lands in New York, N. Y.-Warning to young men in love! Read and profit thereby. William F. Davis, 20 of Jersey City, mady loved Flora Paeltz of Waverly Place, and that is why William is in the psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital. Flora's father, Max A. Paeltz, had caused Patrolman Shevlin to arrest William. In the night court Paeltz said he was tired of having Davis shove money under the front door of his abode. Flora said she was too. And she was tired of receiving four letters a day from the young man, she said; and her father objected to his pensive habit of sleeping on the front door-step. Every morning, he said, the youth was on the spot as Flora went out to her school teaching, and fell upon his knees to protest his love. When he could not think of other things to do heucked good U. S. bills under the Paeltz front door. The last night he came around he shoved in a five and a ten, and that action led Paelitz to ask the young man's arrest. Davis admitted it all, but said he was madly in love with the girl and could not help it. "That's not the way to win a girl," said Magistrate Murphy. "I thought it was the only way," Davis answered sadly. "Try staying away," advised the magistrate. "If I let you go, will you promise to stay away?" "No, I can't do that," replied Davis. Henry W. Hodge, Public Service Commissioner, said he knew Davis and thought that he had been studying too hard and that his mind was unbalanced. Magistrate Murphy dismissed the charge of disorderly conduct and sent Davis to Bellevue for observation. WOMAN 93, SMOKES PIPE DAY AND NIGHT "Smoke All the Time If You'd Live Long," Might Be Her Motto. St. Paul, Minn.—Mrs. Johanna Olson of this city, hale and spry in her 94th year, appears to believe that tobacco is a sure promoter of longevity, and her motto, if she should choose one, would probably be, "Smoke all the time if you'd live long." Mrs. Olson has smoked a pipe for fifty-two years, not just once in a while, but all the time. Not only in the daytime, but she even gets up a half dozen times at night to enjoy her favorite weed. Being deaf and unable to speak English with fluency, Mrs. Olson made no reply to the query as to whether she liked to smoke, but filling and lighting her pipe with a dexterity that would have turned the average smoker green with envy, she proceeded to give a demonstration of the picture of contentment seen only in tobacco advertisements. Mrs. Olson was born in Guttenburg, Sweden, and has lived in St. Paul for forty-one years. She feels young enough to dance with her grandchildren now and then. French authorities have opened 135 miles of a railroad in Algeria which eventually will cross the Sahara desert. DEATH FIGHT OF DEER IS BENEFIT TO POOR Flesh of Slain Animal Sold and Proceeds Given for Charity, Lawton, Okla.—A woodland battle between two buck deer was productive of deer meat being placed on the market of Cache, a village near here. The animals waged a furious battle on the Wichita forest reserve and fought until their horns interlocked. A passing miner saw their plight and notified the superintendent of the reserve, who knocked the tip off one of the antlers of the victor of the duel and released the combatants. The victor trotted off, but the other deer was so weakened from the struggle that the superintendent killed it. The proceeds from the sale of the meat were given to charity, it being against the law to realize a prifit from deer meat in this State.
