Thompson put up a great fight nevertheless. Midway in the eighth round a fight started between two of the spectators, one colored, which caused a riot. Spectators jumped into the ring and the fight was stopped. It was several minutes before any sort of order could be observed and the fighters were permitted to their corners and rest. Thompson, anyway, the first and second round, was going in the rounds that preceded the trouble. In fact, he had Fields in a bad way in the sixth round. Thompson observed by a special program at St. James church. Friday night. The pageant, "A Challenge of the Cross" given by the Allen C. E., Sunday evening, was a decided success.

He kept right on coming, in the seventh, which he won by a slight margin. He was going great in the eighth before the spectators took charge of the ring and stopped the fight. Some semblance of order had been restored by the time the tenth round rolled around and Thompson regained his polis, apparently. At all events, he did enough fighting in the closing part of the round to earn a shade margin at least. Fields won five rounds, the second, sixth and ninth. Thompson took the fourth, seventh and tenth, the fourth and seventh by clear margins and the tenth by a shade. The other session, the third, was even. It was a rough, tough scuffle all the way, the action being fast and furious from the outset to the finish. SOCIAL EQUALITY! White Husband and Wife Accuse Each Other of Practicing It. Atlantic City, N. N. — Divorce proceedings have been instituted by Mrs. Lena Unionman against her husband, Jack Unionman, both white. She charges that instead of spending the week-end of Feb. 8, with relatives in Philadelphia as her husband expected, she returned home and found Unionman and a Harry Davis, with two colored women putting on a party. "I saw my husband on the bed with one of the women by the name of Amelia Thomas, at 256 South Rhode Island Ave., which is the apartment occupied by my husband and myself", Mrs. Unionman's complaint reads. At the trial, Unionman asserted he did bring charges that his wife was arrested while living with a colored man in Philadelphia, in 1925, and was sentenced to the House of Correction by Judge Brown. The couple have one child, a seven-year-old daughter. The Junior Federation has forsaken the P. W. A. as a meeting place and gone to the Cedar "Y". TWO WOMEN FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS! While Our Three "Musketeers" "Sleep Serenely at the Switch" —O, You Councilmen Gregg, George and Brown!—Davis and Morgan Help. The special City Council committee which was making valiant efforts, last week, to chase down rumors about the City Civil Service Commission finally heard talk of graft, last week Friday, but it was still a rumor when the committee adjourned after an unprecedented session which lasted during the day and until 10:30 p. m. Checks and the $500. The rumor of graft was related to the committee by Garrett A. Morgan, who is seeking compensation from the city for the part he took in rescue work following the 1916 water tunnel explosion. He led in the work. Morgan said: "Dan Fairfax told me that Elmer Checks told him that he paid $500 to Tom Fleming to get his job. Checks told me his job cost him money, but he didn't say how much or who it got." Former Councilman Tom Fleming is under a penitentiary sentence of two years and nine months at hard labor for accepting a $200 bribe from Walter L. Oehme, former city detective. An appeal is pending. At the evening session of the committee, Fairfax, who is engineer in the city water department, denied flatly that he had ever told Morgan that Cheeks had paid any money to get his job. Garrett Wouldn't "Back Up". "If Cheeks paid anyone he should have paid it to me," Fairfax said, "because I hired him. As a matter of fact it was Morgan who told me that Cheeks had paid for the job and I said he was a fool if he did." Morgan, in a dramatic statement to the committee, swore he had told the truth. He explained he had testified because he felt that ex-Mayor Wm. S. FitzGerald, now president of the City Civil Service Commission, and also a former city law director, was responsible for depriving him of the recognition due for his rescue work at the time of the tunnel explosion. His swear to God I was the first man to tunnel and come out alive," he said. "If a man can go down for telling the truth, I want to go down." Later Morgan said he was "not just sure" that Fleming got the $500, but that the conversation he had had with Fairfax was in reference to Fleming. "Because She Was Colored!" Mrs. Emma H. Ramsey testified she took an examination in 1928 for attendance officer of the board of education and stood first on the list. She asserted she was never given the opportunity to have several other candidates have been given temporary jobs in the same capacity. She named as one Ida May Wise of 484 E. 126th St., who stood fourth in the same examination, and Jesse Bloom of 1258 W. 117th St., who stood tenth. After Mrs. Eva Ison, who took the same examination and stood fourth, testified she had never been given an appointment, the committee issued a chief attendance officer of the board of education, who is said to have allowed substitute appointments in preference to Mesdames Ramsey and Ison. Public Servants Draw Color-Line. "I told her that the principal in the district in which there was a vacancy did not want a colored attendance officer and could not work in harmony with her. It would have given any reason for not employing Mrs. Ison, but I told her that a position under those circumstances would only cause her embarrassment". Harry E. Davis, our member of the Civil Service Commission, told Whitman that if Mrs. Ison was willing to give the chance of possible embarrassment she should have received the appointment. Whitman Must Go! Mesdames Ison and Ramsey, who called on The Gazette, last week Friday noon, feel that Whitman should be compelled to give the former the job or be "fired" from the public service; and that our three councilmen, Gregg, George and Brown with the assistance of Civil Service Comms, will be able to be done promptly. And they are RIGHT: When did Whitman, an in- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE SOLID SOUTH AND THE "NEGRO"! WHAT THE LATTER MUST DO TO THE REPUBLI-CAN PARTY TO FORCE PROPER RECOGNITION. We Have the Votes and the Power and Must Use Them Wisely—Church's Fight on "Voteless Leaders" Right, Says Dr. Byrd. The Hon. Robert Church of Memphis, Tenn., in his fight to have colored voters that vote determine the policy of the present administration toward the colored voters and colored people at large, is right. Many of us felt in the beginning that it was a mistake to begin a policy of permitting persons of the District of Columbia to run the political affairs of any group. However excellent these citizens may be, they are with-dividual and a servant of the public, receiving his pay from the taxpayers, become powerful enough to so bewildered pride do law, and get away with it? Put this to law, and to Supt. R. G. Jones and the board of education so that our twenty-five thousand voters in this community can understand it and them! There is a future coming to all of them, especially our three councilmen, that they fall to handle this and other local racial matters promptly and successfully. Florence Cole-Talbert Los Angeles, Calif.—Florence Cole Talbert, soprano, of Detroit, who returned to this country recently, following her European triumph, sang with the local Philharmonic Orchestra in its fifth special concert and the entire program was broadcast over KFI. Her first number was enclosed, several times. It was Massenet's "Pleurez, Pleurez, mes yeu" from "Le Cld". She sang also the aria, "Ritorno Vincitor", from "Alda", giving as an encore the "Spring Song of Robin Woman", by Cadman. Dr. S. B. Campbell, P. E. of the Liberia, Africa, A. M.

During the campaign, we held our peace and fell in and did our best for the party. The campaign is over. The policy of the Hoover administration is being waited for and among the things that make up that policy, the political participation on the part of the colored voter, is very important. Our Senators and Representatives from the states that have colored voters who vote must oppose any policy Dr. William A. Byrd. that will make them do for their colored constituency what some persons that don't, can't and won't vote tell the President. Our educational institutions should not attempt to shape this policy. If Yale or Harvard or Princeton would seek to dictate what any President should do to ensure that this would there would be a "war". Neither shall any institution of color dictate the colored program. As institutions, per se, they should remain out of political maneuvering. If the colored voters of this nation expect to receive their citizenship portion, they must use their votes to elect or defeat men who will not do the right thing by them. Our colored brethren who cannot vote must not tell us to do and neither are they in position to tell any President what are his duties and obligations toward the nation. Why that has a claim upon him. If Church will send out a call to our states that vote to meet and plan for vote-dictation, he will get a hearty response. If Church will lead in this national battle, he will have a multitude of kindred spirits to join him, and our states will adopt a program of recognizing those who elect the President as the proper ones to tell him what he should do for them. Mr. Church, the way to win is to organization sufficient nationwide organization sufficient. We brot to accomplish the desired end. Organize and again we say, ORGANIZE! A Supreme Court Order Snatched Him From the Electric Chair. Dayton, O.—Roy Freeman, age 40, who was snatched from the electric chair at the Ohio State penitentiary by a supreme court order, was free, last Saturday, after the jury in his second trial found him "not guilty" of the murder of Motorcycle Patrolman Wm. C. Horn. Freeman declared that he was "goin' back to Tennessee" as soon as he could get the railroad fare. Yes, back where he could have been lynched, promptly, under similar circumstances. Freeman was sentenced to the electric chair, last October, following a long trial, in which an alleged confession made by him, was introduced as testimony. At his second trial, this confession was not allowed to be written into the records, after arguments of defense attorneys charged that it had been obtained by "third degree" methods, as usual! At the time of his first conviction, Freeman was removed from the county jail here to an adjoining county bastile after murmurs of "lynchings" were heard. Miss Alice Beatrice Rhinelander, "Kip-wife". Is afro-wife, is still receiving $400 a month from him.

IN UNION IS STRINGING The Cleveland City Hospital has been "investigated" a second or third time, in recent months, by "Negroes" and the same insulting conditions found to exist there, as far as they are concerned. Now, what are you going to DO about it—keep on talking? BEN AND PERRY "DUMPED". If dispatches to the daily papers of the country, this week, from Washington, D. C., are to be credited the "illy-white" Republicans (half-Democrats) of the South are "in the saddle" with a vengeance, as far as President Hoover and federal jobs in that section of the country are concerned. Ben Davis and the old Republican crowd he trained with in Georgia, and Perry Howard and those he leads in Mississippi, as well as the old Republican organization in South Carolina, dominated by white Republicans, have been "dumped" by the President and will not be recognized when it comes to federal appointments, says Postmaster-General Walter Brown (of Toledo, O..) That makes the outlook for "the Colored Republican brother", South and North, anything but good, if the dispatches to the daily papers of Wednesday and Thursday tell the truth. We will shed no tears for Ben and Perry for reasons the repeatedly given in columns the main one of which is the fact that they were absolutely no good to our people but seemed to be looking out for their own selfish interests all the time. According to various reports, all of which have not been proven false, they are only getting what they deserve. The pity of it is that apparently they have made it bad for all of our people, South and North, for some years to come. Elsewhere in these columns our Dr. Wm. A. Byrd gives the remedy for this condition so plainly and well it is not necessary for us to repeat it here at this time. It certainly looks as if the political house-cleaning in the South so sadly needed for so long a time is on at last and as usual our people must suffer most even tho we are not most to blame for the miserable condition that has existed in that section of the country for so many years. MORE COURAGE THAN MEN! Mrs. Emma H. Ramsey and Mrs. Eva Ison are two women our people of this community should feel proud of. The fight they are putting up for justice for those of our people who take civil service examinations in this community and are not treated right, is splendid, is fine and ought to put to shame our so-called male leaders in this community, particularly our city councilmen, Messrs. Gregg, George and Brown, the three "Musketeers". None of them were in attendance upon the City Council investigating committee meeting, last week, to help Mesdames Ramsey and Ison. Isn't that fine? Just think of it, the three men of all of our male residents of this community who ought to have been at this meeting battling for these two lone women who are not only fighting for themselves but for community racial rights denied, not one of them put in appearance. Herein lies the secret of our failure to make the progress in Cleveland we should, when it comes to our rights in public institutions, the public service, in public places and elsewhere locally. We have never had a leader who would "go to the front" for us, stand up like a MAN and battle for us, even the WE secured their selection or election to positions which, if properly filled, would insure such activity in our behalf. Our civil service commissioner, the Hon. Harry E. Davis, who was at the meeting did say something in Mesdames Ramsey and Ison's behalf, but not near enough. But our councilmen, the men who should have been there to lead the battle, where were they? The campaign is opening for the election of members of the city council. From a dozen to a score of our men will be candidates. It is sincerely to be hoped that out of all of them our people will select at least one who, if elected, will be MAN enough to stand up in the council, and elsewhere, as a local leader should, in their behalf. Gregg and George will not do. We have seen and had quite enough of them. That Councilman Brown will not be a candidate is the general understanding. We must pick a man who, as a member of city council, will make us forget that Fleming, Gregg or George ever warmed seats in that more or less august local legislative body. Meantime, we are patiently waiting to see if our newest councilman, Dr. Brown, is going to try to do something, as promised. The City Hospital matter awaits you, Councilman Brown, and the improvement in the service on the Cedar, Central and Scovill Ave. street-car lines also awaits, since Councilman George has laid down on his own resolution to that effect. Rena Turner, age 19, E. 103d St., was arraigned in police court, Saturday, on a charge of operating an employment agency without a license. She was said to be secretary of an agency in Quincy Ave., where a man, according to his complaint to officials of the state-city employment bureau, paid $5 with the understanding that he was to be given a job. The finance committee of the City Council, Saturday, had postponed, until this Friday, its recommendation of an ordinance introduced by Councilman Herman Finkle, authorizing the city to pay an unnamed sum, presumably $1,000, to Garrett A. Morgan, of Harlem Ave., for his heroic work in rescuing several persons during the crib disaster of June 21, 1916. He led in the rescue work but was "framed" out of the credit and the honor and emoluments given for the same. The stand of the church, which "has not spoken with authority on great social questions", was criticized by Rev. Charles L. DeBow (white), pastor of the First M. E. church, in addressing the literary forum of St. James' A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon. Dr. DeBow, who early this year started a vice cruse through a sermon attacking the joke law enforcement in Cleveland, insisted that if the church lacked courage to speak on urgent social questions which face human society, the un-Christian world was not to be blamed if it insisted there was no hope for religion. "There never 'Round Home by CHAS.S.KINNISON Workin' in the Yard There's nothin' that pays Than work that you do in The beauty that follows, Rewards you full measure And oh,! There's nothin' that pays you a finer reward Than work that you do in improvin' the yard! The beauty that follows, I'm here to contend. Rewards you full measure for all that you spend. And oh, but it's fun, in your blue denim shirt And an old pair of pants, to get down in the dirt And bury your hands in the bountiful soil— I tell you I know of no pleasanter toil!

While some prefer fishin' to idle the time, And some think that golf is a pleasure sublime. subli And some think a ball game When all of their workaday I'd rather be spendin' my While whistlin' and humm And some think a ball game the finest of fun, When all of their workaday labors are done, I'd rather be spendin' my duty-free hours While whistlin' and hummin' in raisin' the flowers! LOOK AT TH I GOT - I BETO GO RIGHT IN HAUNTED HA GOAT HILL AN WAS THAT SO THERE Additional Locals W. W. TUBBY was such a need of spiritual emphasis both in the church and out of it as is the case today". Dr. DeBow said. "It is a moot question as to whether there ever will be international peace, or economic order or religious power, until we agree in these respective fields upon a set of fundamental things which undergird the whole matter." OHIO'S MOB VIOLI OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS --- IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still standing and are still years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

Our mo-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter (93 v. 161 2. 2) section 6279. The person serious injury" in the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which such assault was made, or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in mannequin disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be a part of any of his liabilities. (93 v. w 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action or the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such recovery, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian, and such guardian such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which the decedent may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. * representative of victim of lynching by mob mobt to lynch costs in tax levy. just member of mob just another county. representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or chief侵入restaurant or manager of an in-house restaurant, taking house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the succession of the societies or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not more than five hundred dollars or more than five hundred dollars, or another son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

H. Sheldon of New York university's physics department and Dr. Phillips Thomas of the Westinghouse Electric company, watching a demonstration of a new light sensitive device, before the members of the Electrical society at the Engineering Societies' building. It is expected that unnecessary traffic delays, caused by the flashing of a red light or "stop" signal on a main thoroughfare at times when no vehicles are waiting to cross the intersection may be done away with forever. The new system gives motorists a green signal continuously until a car on the cross street comes within a short distance of the intersection, at which time the lights automatically revert to a prearranged "set" program operation. The automatic feature of the system is made possible by a new application of the photoelectric cell, or "electric eye" which literally "sees" automobiles or other vehicles and regulates the signals accordingly.

"It started from the western coast last summer over one of the U. S. routes and had no trouble in following the road across the country," he explained, "except when it crossed the larger cities. There were no markers to indicate when I was on the route or when I was off it. It is through the cities that we motorists are most likely to get off the route, especially at five-point intersections," he asserted. Not Under State Control. Officials of the bureau explained that the route markers in the various states were erected by the state highway departments only upon the highways under their jurisdiction; that city streets, which are connecting links, are under the jurisdiction of municipal authorities, and that the erection of the markers within city limits is up to the city officials. Some Cities Erect Markers. A few cities have recognized this need of the motorist, the bureau says, and have erected the standard markers on their streets. Since the standard route markers and danger and caution signs were adopted in 1925 for use on the United Highway system, 28 states have completed the marking of the system within their borders and under their jurisdictions, eight states have marked from 75 to 90 per cent of their roads, and four states have marked from 50 to 75 per cent. Water Isn't Especially With tires carried on the side, the vogue of the day, it may be appropriate to make a suggestion for an improvement in fender wells. Most owners note the way the wells catch dirt on the under side, and not a few of them appreciate that constant scraping and cleaning of these parts will result in the metal getting rather thin at these points. But how many realize that fender wells tend to wear out from the upper side because of water remaining in the wells? This water isn't especially good for the spare tires, either. Accordingly, some means should be provided whereby it could be drained off. Why not drill a small hole in the bottom of each well? Missouri Making Study A study of the automobile accidents in Missouri in a recent month revealed 1,219 accidents. Ten were caused by cars with no drivers; 33 were cars driven by intoxicated drivers; 47 were caused through losing control of the car; defective brakes caused 10; tire blowouts, 11; skidding, 29; 15 were caused by "the other fellow," who forced them into ditches; 19 were caused by trying to pass another car; 15 resulted from drivers falling asleep at the wheel. One car was struck by an airplane and one driver was stung by a bee. Big Motor Business The following key-points are taken from the forecast made by Roy D. Chapin, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce: 1. Automotive employment in America will total 4,000,000. 2. Production will be on new high levels, buying raw materials in larger quantities than ever before. 3. Pent up demand for transport, held back in 1928, will keep sales active throughout 1929. 4. Highway building on all continents creates new transport needs. Foreign Matter Sticks at "Neck of the Bottle" The "neck of the bottle" in an automobile radiator is at the top of the cooling fins or tubes. Any foreign matter that floats around with the water always gets stuck at this point and the result is retarded circulation and a tendency for the motor to overheat. Ordinary flushing will not remove serious obstructions. But you can get them out by b2 the simple method shown. Incision in Radiator, After the Shell Is Removed, Gives Access to Obstructing Particles. Remove the radiator shell and with a sharp, strong knife make a curved incision. Then fold out the flap thus formed. Pick out the obstructions with a pointed instrument, push the flap back in place and solder it. Radiators are made of thin sheet brass so this is easier than it looks.—Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE NOTES Test the oil level every time the tank is filled with gasoline. Now if some genius will devise a way to refuel automobiles while in motion the life of the speeder will be complete. A driver in California sustained an eye injury as a result of an automobile accident. Police arrested the expuglist in the other car. When your car fails to complete a turn in a space that seems wide enough for it, maybe you failed to start the turn with the wheels cut as sharply as possible. If the water in the radiator needs changing it is best to drain and flush it immediately after a long run. The sediment will still be circulating and it will clean out much more thoroughly. Scientists are trying to establish what was man's first conquest of space, but his greatest conquest of space was probably the distance he jumped when he saw a car about to hit him.

GAY TAFFETA FOR PARTY FROCKS IS A NEW NOTE FOR TOTS' FASHIONS Underwood & Underwood PRINT COMPETES WITH PLAIN FOR SUPREMACY IN THE EVENING MODE THE FASHION WEEKLY GO AS far as you like in matter of color when it comes to assembling spring and summer wardrobes for the little folks. According to the picture fashion is flushing on the screen this is to be a season of gavety for children's clothes. Alt along the line designers are emphasizing color contrast. The newest thing is "fruit colorings" for little girls' dresses and coats. Lime, lemon, apple and banana are especially highlighted. Add fruit colorings and color contrast and the sum total promises a fascinating color program. In the move toward achieving color contrast, piping plays an outstanding role. So "when in doubt" pipe all the edges with a colorful fabric and thus follow fashion's lead. Often the piping appears not only in one contrasting tone but in several. To illustrate, a frock of banana colored broadcloth is finished with triple piping in red, blue and pale green. In the picture a cunning flower-petal dress is shown which features a unique use of piping in that it marks the novel seaming of fabric panels, also outlining the scalloped hemline. This lovely little dress is made of lime-tinted taffeta piped with pate blue. Of course you have already PRINT COMPETES W SUPREMACY IN T AS SPRINGTIME makes its way with summer soon to follow, a growing sentiment is expressed for frocks of sheer lightness fabrics, either print or plain. Chiffons, nets, laces, organdles and others of like filmy texture are in the list of favorites. Those lovely solid-tint chiffons—who would be without frocks made of them? Long may they continue to contribute their entrancing loveliness to both the daytime and evening mode! The smart new colorings which they flaunt, such as the delicate banana shades, a range of yellows, many subtle greens, lilac and capucine shades, also novelty blues, and greatly to their allurement. These filmy monotone frocks are prettiest when made with fluttering scarfs or capes and artful irregular hemlines. It's the fashion for the one-color chiffon frock to have a jacket to y Your Co or an Acqu guessed that it is a French model, for it looks the part. Being fashioned of taffeta this dainty frock tells a story of "what's what" in fabric for children's party dresses. This is spik silk in sprightly tones and tints is considered very new and very smart for little girls' frocks. If one wishes a less format dress, the model in the picture could be successfully copied in organelle. Color is played up with startling contrast when it comes to such wash materials as gingham, plique, printed linen and such. A bright red plique posed over a frock of red and white gingham, a printed plique in yellow and white topped with a cont of yellow plique, a quilted flowered calco cover over a solid-tone cotton or rayon vole—such combinations as these are repeated in infinite versions. A subject under discussion among designers of frocks for the very young is the "to be or not to be" of waistlines. Paris stylists have settled the question to their satisfaction by accenting the waistline in many of the wee frocks they are sending to America and which their own little folks are wearing so pretty.

Holmes WITH PLAIN FOR THE EVENING MODE match, or if not a real match, then a fanciful cocktail jacket like the one thrown over the shoulder of the standing figure in the picture. With the aid of this wee jacket fantasy the most formal gown of low-cut decolletage may be transformed into a very proper dinner gown. To choose between a flower printed chiffon and a monotone sheer weave is almost too much to ask of any beauty, loving woman. Probably the best solution is to include both a plain and a print in one's spring and summer dress collection, for frocks of the types pictured are just such as will solve the question of "what to wear" during hours of dining and dancing. To tell the truth the flower printed gown pictured is not chiffon, although it might just as pleasingly have been, for its flowing scarf neckline and irregular hemline are details such as are characteristic of chiffon stylings. This dainty naive gown is, however, of rayon organdle. Designers this season are working wonders with organdle, as they are also with chiffon. For this youthful model Vionnet selected pale green rayon organdle patterned with morning-glories in realistic mauve and violet hues. French contouriers are showing a genuine enthusiasm for rayon weaves of every sort. They declare the filmy rayon chiffon and organdles to be of special appeal both because of their exquisite sheerness and their beautiful patternings. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

In creating necklines for the spring frocks and coat designers are giving free rein to imagination. In most instances the basic theme is the scarf, but it is often that camouflaged one is tempted to ask, when is a scarf a scarf? Nevertheless you'll like 'em, these novelty scarfs which play so spectacular a role in frock and coat neckline treatments. A cape and scarf in one effect imparts a decided note of chic to the novelty cloth frock in the picture. Everything about this street dress bespends last-minute styling. The material itself is notably new, being one of those loose-woven woolens which made their debut just recently. Its coloring is soft grayish green flecked with white. The diagonal opening at once attracts attention because of its unusualness. With a deft movement the scarf can be unwound from about the throat. This done, the diagonal opening resolves itself into a V shape effect, revealing a gay print silk vestee, GRAY WOOLENS IN SMART FOR TAIL ONE might be inclined to think that the vogue for elaborate fashions which now prevails might react to the disadvantage of the tailored suit. On the contrary, the overwhelming number of "dressmaker" styled silk frocks and ensembles has resulted in a demand for the smartly tailored jacket-and-skirt suit fashioned of some one of the handsome woolen weaves which are so glorifying this season's fabric program. Thus the tailleur is being welcomed as an antidote to the ornate modes which now crowd the scene. In choosing the coveted two-piece of fine woolen for town and country wear a keenness for gray is manifest, preferably in soft light tweed. Gray woolen in tweed effect makes the jacket suit in the picture. The buttoned cuff and the betted waist-line defined in this youthful suit are important features of new tailored spring modes. A silk knotted kerchief and a soft brimmed sports hat add a nonchalant touch to this outfit. Sunburn stockings and kid sports shoes accent that nicety of detail which is so essential to good dressing. GAZETTE who might Su danked at one side with a single turn back rever. Circular one-side fullness for the hemline of this one-piece street frock is achieved by a clever bit of seam work as the picture so clearly shows. The belt, the scarf and the diagonal opening are piped with silk in a contrasting shade. Returning to the subject of scarf necklines. They are all-important both on formal and informal modes. A novel treatment brings the scarf ends to the back, where they tie in a soft bow with long flowing streamers. The low round or pointed front neckline is softened as the scarf drapes across. Other new silhouettes are accomplished with bernina collars or capetels which tie in front with a loose careless bow. Everywhere in the mode soft-tied bows or self fabric hold forth. For coat, cape-scarf ends throw back over each shoulder, coming together at the back in a complete cape outline. TWEED EFFECT CORED JACKET SUITS The beauty and the novelty of the new woolens for spring are a matter of comment throughout all fashion-dom. From sturdiest cloakings to filestiml lacy weaves for dress and blouse, modern worsteds interpret incomparable charm and novelty. Not in the memory of this generation have woolen weaves shown such fascinating versatility. The spirit for design which pervades the field of modern woolens especially creates new interest. Among the latest weaves are fine tady tweeds introducing striking color combinations. Some of these feature interesting borders. Among them is a sheer tweed which has a tri-color striped border. The new ombre effects are stunning. Some of the bayadere and ombre stripes are so broken by reverse weaves and complicated construction they become very desirable. Lovely color effects are achieved by border-striped woolens, such as a shrimp tone centered with cinnamon brown, alternated with yellow or bright blue, which interworks multi-colored bands.
