OUR FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR!
With its issue of last week, "The Old Reliable" Gazette entered upon its forty-seventh year of continuous publication, every week on time. Forty-six years ago, this paper made its first appearance, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette has rested upon the shoulders of the writer. How successful we have been, is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner especially to the loyal of the race where-ever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law were enacted by the Ohio Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only of Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its forty-six years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge throughout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against inimical legislation and harmful discrimination, national state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender", or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by "jim-crow Negroes" and
PETER H. BURGESS
For Mayor by Republicans of Camp bell, Ohio—A Splendid Selec tion—He Will Be Triumphantly Elected.
Youngstown, O.—In the recent Republican primaries at Campbell, just across the Mahoning River from here, Atty Joseph E. Julius defeated Mayor T. Roy Gordon by a large majority. The mayor is serving his third term. Two years ago, he was "nominated" over Mr. Julius, who was his director of law, by an alleged majority of sixteen. Fraudulent voting on the law was charged and the success in such cases has about always been impossible because of the laxness of state laws. The concensus of opinion in Campbell was, however, that Mr. Julius had been nominated. The Ku Klux Klan was strong there at the time and termed Mr. Julius a "foreigner" because his parents were Italian-Americans and in spite of the fact that Mr. Julius was a foreigner, his natives of this city or Campbell. This resulted in one of the fiercest political struggles ever witnessed in this section of the state, the so-called "foreign element" with many of our people lining up solidly back of the Julius candidacy. He had been the leader of the forces that had twice nominated and elected Mayor Gordon nomination and election at that time, two years ago. This time, the people recognized Atty. Julius' just claim giving him such a splendid and encouraging majority over Mayor Gordon that it was impossible to "count him out" again. Thus his election is assured because a nomination in Campbell is equivalent to an election, so strongly Republican to Arthur R. Johnston of Miles Heights Village, Cuyahoga County, O., made one of the most effective campaign speeches for Mr. Julius.

their fool-prejudiced white masters. The *The Gazette* believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, *ALL* that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS *OUR SLOGAN!* Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its *best recommendations* for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-seven years — thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf — we have only expressions of *sincerest appreciation*. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our *sincerest appreciation*.

A WOMAN AND HER GRAND-DAUGHTERS "FRAME" HIM IN THE OLD WAY.
Lawyers Withdraw From the Case-An Anomaly in the South-Man Sentenced to Ten Years The Guilty Woman Goes Free.
(Special to The Gazette)
The Governor of Tennessee did his duty when he sent the Militia to Centerville to protect a Negro accused of assaulting a white woman, outside the city is illuminating. The white women perused themselves in their testimony against the colored man. Not only did the woman making the charge, but her grand-daughters also. After a grilling by the defense lawyers and a re-examination by the lawyers for the state, all of the women admitted they had perused themselves. As a consequence two of the attorneys for the prosecution withdrew from the trial, the colored man was "framed". The Attorney General went through with the trial and the colored man was convicted of a statutory offense and given ten years. An analysis of the trial presents the following facts:
(a) The white women deliberately perjured themselves with the avoided purpose of destroying the colored man and hiding their own guilt.
(b) The evidence showed that it was a case of adultery in which both the white woman and the colored man were parties, but the court convicted the colored man and allowed the white woman to go free.
(c) The court gave the colored man ten years in the Penitentiary wife is out of proportion to the offer, and overlooked the perjured testimony of the white women and also the adultery of one of them.
The withdrawal of two lawyers on the ground that the colored man was framed reveals a professional ethics uncommon in the south. The outside world has a sample of the rage cry "sо, so often sent out by white women," according to the truth of this Centerville case shows an illicit consorting together of white woman and colored man is characteristic of ninety-per-cent of these rage flashes. For this state of affairs, southern white men are responsible. Today, as of yore, there is a consorting together on the part of white women and colored women and this has been borne out and colored and white women to do the same. The appeal on the part of the lawyers for this colored man is

out justice to colored people when the two races are pitted against each other. Colored men should remember that illicit consorting with white women is fraught with grave danger and for safety sake should desist from it. This is nothing new will come to mind so long as it does, when the parties are apprehended both should suffer alike. The ordinary white mob that gathers to wreck vengeance upon colored men in such cases is composed of the worst element of the community and the members of it would be a menace to either white or colored women if an opportunity presented it. Turn that colored men loose or imprison both, and due notice should be taken of the perjury of the women and the law applied.
The average college men do not make the best insurance men, according to Mr. Samuel W. Rutherford, general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. This company is one of our largest enterprises. Its operations extend into twenty-eight states and it counts its employees by the hundreds that Mr. Rutherford says, therefore, he would have large experience. His inference is that the college graduate with the degree of A.B., or A.M., or even Ph.D., cannot compete with high school graduates in writing insurance.
Several months back these columns carried a similar statement from Mr. Anthony Overton, Chicago banker, manufacturer and publisher. Prof. Kelly Miller, himself a product of the college, in his last week's article in this paper, said:
"We naturally look to the higher education to produce leadership and wise guidance for the masses. In all candor, it cannot be claimed that this expectation has been fulfilled in the degree that was once hoped and claimed. The leadership of the race, the most important lines, is still in the hands of the students with energy, enterprise and initiative, often without a technical liberal education"—Baltimore (Md.)

NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS.
New York City.—Hubert D. Delany, our assistant U. S. district attorney, candidate for Congress from the twenty-first district, is assured of success if 75,000 unregistered Harlemites of color can be gotten to the polls. Editor George W. Harris, of the N. Y. News, and a candidate for Alderman, says: "Hubert Delany can be elected Congressman if the Republican party will get solidly behind and secure an easily solidly colored registration of fifty thousand. This, with a normal white Republican vote of 20,000 would give him a larger vote than any Congressman ever received in the district. Delany should make an efficient campaign, being generally popular, able, and having made many strong friends".

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1929.
It is difficult for us to believe that
the 47th ward Republican club of
Philadelphia is the only white club
in that city which admits Afro-
American members, tho J. F. Perrin
of 265 Ridger Ave., that city, makes
such a statement. This in the “City
ot Brotherly Love” and “the Cradle
of Liberty”?
ee
Dr. W. F. Walz, councilman, in
explaining the defeat of the Charter
Amendment says: “There were two
prinetpal reasons, the main one of
which was the lavish use of money
against the Amendment. They spent
@ lot of it! The Amendment advo-
cates didn’t have any to spend”. The
truth! ee
i
In ward 11, 1631 votes were cast
for the Charter Amendment and 614
against it; in ward 12, 1852 for, 356
against; in ward 17, 1402 for, 597
against; in ward 18, 1655 for and
1241 against. This is a splendid
showing, under the circumstances,
and our people have a right to feel
proud of it. If other wards of the
city had done as well a different re-
sult would have been secured.
If Atty. Hubert D. Delany of Haz-
lem, N. Y. City, the Republican can-
didate for congress from the 21st
N. ¥. district, is elected as he should
be, Congressman Oscar DePriest o!

agree that Delany will be trium-
phantly elected in November provid-
ed our voters of his district will

the number they should.

‘The “Round Robin" signers, minis
ters of color, did not “cut any figure
at all”, even with theif own congre-
gations, when it came to. voting,
Tuesday. The so-called “‘Colored
wards” made the best showing of
any in the elty for the Charter
Amendment. Brown, Ailer, Walker
and their co-signers were “Jokes”
when it came to “delivering” (votes)
on Tuesday to the Manager Plan and
City Manager Hopkins.
‘The charge of slavery in Liberia,
Africa, is to be officially investigat-
ed by a commission consisting of an
American, a Liberian and a third
member to be selected by:the League
of Nations, all three of whom the
President of Liberia is to appoint.
‘This is the outcome of widespread
reports, extending over several
years to the effect that there are
forced labor conditions in that coun-
try akin to slavery. The little re-
public of Liberia, on the west coast
of Africa, is the outgrowth of Amer-
fean anti-slavery advocates’ effort
and it fs hard to believe that slavery
is even possible in that country.
‘Time will soon tell, however.
‘The recent untimely death of the
Hon. Wm. T. Francis, of St. Paul,
Minn., U. S. minister resident and
consul general to Liberia, Africa, re-
calls the death of several other
prominent members of the race who
served this country in that position
for brief periods, many years ago,
all being taken away just as Atty.
Francis was after about a year's res-
idence in that country. Several
more or less prominent members of
the race are seeking to succeed the
deceased diplomatist. Just why, we
fail to understand. The climate of
the little republic seems to be al-
most sure death to the average
American who stays there any length
of time. sf
CHARTER AMENDMENT DEFEAT
‘Tho combination of money and
the three daily newspapers of Cleve-
land was too powerful a force to be
overcome, Tuesday, it seems. That
is the leading explanation of the de-
feat of the Charter Amendment.
‘There are others, of course, as other
and minor elements entered into the
Gefeat. ‘The free use of money was
the main thing! It “influenced”
newspapers and individuals — large
numbers of middle class and poorer
voters, thousands of whom have
worked part time, and needed money
sorely. Wealthy Manager Plan ad-
oe of the city influenced voters
in other ways, particularly their em-
ployees. Money also purchased the
support of ministers, not all “Col-
‘ored”, nearly every one’s interest,
like those of the masses, being wrap-
ped up in the success of the Charter
Amendment. In spite of the fact
the Manager Plan committee, named
the Progressive Government com-
mittee, opened its campaign a week
or two earlier in the 1ith, 12th,
17th and 18th wards than it
did elsewhere in the city and
exceptional money-power pressure
was exerted in these wards,
our voters there held their
own for the Charter Amendment,
making practically as good a show-
ing as they did in similar contests
in 1927 and 1928. ‘This to their
everlasting credit! Now that the
Manager Plan has been sustained,
and of course City Manager Hopkins
will be retained, we shall watch care-
fully to see it his color-line policy
at the City Hospital, in the bathing
pools of the city and elsewhere, is or
is not to be discontinued promptly.
‘This was the most important issue
in the campaign, as far 43 our peo-
ple were and are concerned, and it
is hardly necessary to remind those
“Negroes” who supported “‘the plan
and the man” of this fact. The large
vote, nearly 50,000 being cast
against the Manager Plan and the
small majority it secured, in our
Judgment is positive- proof of the
fact that the great mass of people in
the city of Cleveland are opposed to
that form of government.

OHIO TELEPHONES °
* OUTNUMBER THOSE
OF 2 CONTINENTS
Ohio has more telephones than
South America and Africa com-
bined, according to world telephone
statistics just issued by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. In Ohio there are 688,-
518, while the two continents have
687,167.
Talkative Uncle Sam!
The United States leads the
world in telephones and telephone
conversations by quite a substan-
tial margin. In this country there
are 18,522,767 telephones over
which Americans talk on an aver-
age of 26,200,000,000 times each
year. Germany ranks second in
in the number of telephones with
2,814,996, while Great Britain and
Northern Ireland have 1,633,802.
Canada ranks fourth with 1,259,-
987.
Japan ranks second in the num-
ber of telephone cohversations with
‘an average of 2,586,053,000 carried
‘on over 750,561 telephones. Com-
paring the United States and Japan
in this respect, it would appear
that the Japanese far outdo us in
regard to telephonic communication
considering the facilities available.
Japan has only 1.2 telephones per
100 population, while the Unittd
States has 15.8 per 100.
Ohio Bell Shows Increase
Figures compiled by The Ohio
Bell Telephone Company show an
unprecedented growth during the
first six months of 1929. From
623,410 telephones in Ohio in 1928,
the company has increased to 688,-
518. Last year the increase during
the first six months was 21,537.
During the first half of this year
the gain was 36,476.
Sixty per cent of the world’s
telephones are in the United
States, 28 per cent in Europe and
12 per cent in all other countries,
‘There are 105,558,138 miles of
telephone wire in the world, enough
to wind about the globe 4,222 times
with 8,188 miles left over. Ap-
proximately 61 per cent of this, or
63,836,182 miles, is in the United
States.
‘San Francisco Leads World
‘The latest available world tele-
phone Jata was compiled as of
January 1, 1928. Among the cities
of the world, San Francisco leads
in telephones per 100 population,
the average being 82. Stockholm,
Sweden, ranks next with 29. Wash-
ington, D. C., is a fraction below
this number, and Chicago ranks
fourth with 28. Eleventh on the
list is Cincinnati with 23 telephones
per 100 population. The average
of telephones per 100 population
for the entire globe is 1.6.
Development during the year
1927 was rapid, as is shown by the
world increase of 1,588,743. tele-
phones. Of this number, Uncle
Sam accounted for 776,599, and the
whole of North America for '849,-
882. South America gained 36,064;
Europe, 515,807; Asia, 114,410;
Africa, 14,897, and Oceana, includ-
ing Australia, the Dutch East In-
dies, Hawaii, New Zealand and the
Phillipines, 53,143.
€ At the beginning of 1928 the
United States had 15.8 telephones
per 100 population, Canada had 18
per 100, and New Zealand ranked
third with 10 per 100. .
Directory Collection Creates
Flurry in City Homes
And Offices
Old telephone directories contain
numbers—and a number of other
things, it was revealed by the re-
cent collection of old directories
and distribution of new ones in
Cleveland.
As the telephone books were
gathered up, subscribers began to
remember articles uf value that
had been left in them. Money,
valuable papers, neckties, mailing
lists, important references and
scores of other things had been
taken away with the old books,
Calls began to rain into The
Ohio Bell Telephone Company of-
fice, requesting the recovery of
lost articles. Sometimes they could
ve recovered, sometimes not.
The most outstanding instance
ccurred when a Cleveland woman
‘eft $175 in currency between the
oages of her directory. The book
was collected, loaded into a truck
ind hauled with tons of others to
\ warehouse in the eastern part of
he city. Then came a frantic call
from the subscriber. The money
was finally discovered and restored
‘0 the owner, after searchers had
‘ooked through four or five tons of
pooks at the warehouse.

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 edi-
tor had enacced while a member of
the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
~The General Code of ‘Ohio:
See. 12940. Whoever, being the
‘proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of an Inn, restairant, eat-
Ing house, barber-shop, public’ con
veyance 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
accommodations, advantages, facll-
ties or privileges thereof, shall be
fined not less than fifty dollars nor
more than five hundred dollars, of
imprisoned not less than thirty days
nor more than ninety days, or both.
See. 12941. Whoever violates the
next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fifty dollars nor more
than five hundreds dollars to the per.
son aggtieved thereby to be recoy-
ered in any court of competent jur-
isdiction 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 tse 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,

Dissatisfied members of the churches pastored by the "round robin" signers are multiplying rapidly, these days, and some if not all of them are already scheduled to go, say members of their churches.
All of our Charter Amendment speakers and workers rendered splendid service in the campaign of the last three weeks and did it freely and willingly. Too much praise cannot be given each one of them.

These two with Irwin Lager, (white) won over all their competitors in the 50-yard dash, potato race, jump and basket throw. "Goin' some", eh?

The ranks of self-made men are dwindling.
Trained minds are being turned out in increasing numbers to enter the business world each year with the graduation exercises of various colleges over the country. Soon tales of self-made men will be relegated to the libraries along with the volumes of Horatio Alger and to the files of the American Magazine.
It is regrettable, because stories of rapid rise to fame and glory have always thrilled us with the romance of careers in which, laboring under tremendous handicaps, a youth ascends to high position and power.
Such is the fascinating story of Philip Hogan, an Irish lad who rose from a slate饼作 in a coal mine to become an expert in telephone appraisal work.
Hogan was born in the little mining village of Plains, Pa. His education, when estimated in terms of actual schooling, comprises only one year in the public schools. He was sent to the mines to pick slate at the age of nine years. Yet today his expert knowledge of the telephone business is a factor in forming decisions on telephone litigation all over the country. Hogan's colorful career was brought to light at Columbus in the Public Utilities Commission inquiry in connection with The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's petition for advanced rates. Starting in life grubbing for

pieces of slate among the lumps of coal on a conveyor in a mine, Hogan was, it seemed, destined to a career among those men who burrow deep into the earth to dig and blast out fuel to keep us warm and to feel the flaming maws of industry.
But Hogan was blessed with a driving ambition that drove him to the higher levels after holding the successive jobs of door tender, mule driver and laborer. He shook the coal dust from his shoes and obtained work with a telephone company as a cable splicer's helper. This sufficed only until he had learned the job. Then he became a full-fledged cable splicer.
Thereafter it was a rapid rise for Hogan, this time not in perpendicular distance as when he rose up out of the mines, but in his status among men. He became a chief engineer, but even in this high post, his restless, striving, ambitious nature drove him on and he left the telephone company to organize construction companies in Cleveland and Chicago in which he is the controlling factor and which contract to do telephone construction and installation work throughout the country. Hogan is self-made and self-educated. By dint of the school of experience and the facilities of public libraries he has acquired a theoretical education equal to that of most college men and an unusually comprehensive and invaluable store of practical knowledge.

Colorful Voice Over Telephone Brings Picture
[ ]
Vernelle Gilliland
Many different voices coming over telephone wires hold a fascination for Miss Vernelle Gilliland, operator in The Ohio Bell Telephone Company exchange at Piqua, Some are gruff, some pleasant. Some are tired, some sprightly.
The colorful voices bring a picture of the speaker to her mind, she says, almost like television.
"It's a pleasure to serve the pleasant ones," said Miss Gilliland. "I often try to imagine what they look like. And, when they're crisp and snappy, I can see busy men anxious to put through some big deal by telephone.
"One talks a lot on my job, but you don't say much. It's number please. thank you. etc.
"Being a telephone operator keeps one on the alert. Improvements in service are rapid and there is always some new feature of service to learn. Some people think that operators listen in on their calls. This isn't true. We are kept busy every minute answering the calls on the switchboard.
"We have a system whereby we never interrupt a busy line. Before we establish the connection, a busy buzz tells us that the line is busy."
"SPOOKS" VANISH FROM TELEPHONY
"SPOOKS" VANISH FROM TELEPHONY
Commonplace
Telephony was "spooky" a few years ago.
A procession of uncanny discoveries have marched across the retina of the public eye and the membrane of the public ear since Alexander Graham Bell first brought to light the possibility of the transmission of the human voice through wires by means of electricity.
Radio, telephoto, television, Vitaphone and various other by-products of the Bell Laboratories have startled the world by their phenomenal nature. Trans-Atlantic telephony has linked nations by channels of speech. It is possible to talk from the clouds and from transcontinental trains, hurtling through space.
But the "spoooky" aspect of telephony has vanished. The public now evinces only a mild interest at each new discovery and conjectures as to when it will be in general use. Ohio's part in telephone expansion has been prominent. There is the new Ohio Bell headquarters building in Cleveland, a new division building in Toledo, another in Akron and the land has been purchased for a Dayton division building. As rapidly as the Bell Laboratories have made discoveries that would improve telephonic transmission, they have been adopted and placed in general use in Ohio.
What Some Editors Say
In 1876 two men talked for the first time over a telephone. Today there are 7,000,000 miles of wire carrying more than 8,000,000 long-distance messages every day in America. Still enthralled by the thrill of the radio and other spectacular inventions we have given scant attention to the amazing changes and improvements in the telephone service in this country. The common practice of getting a far distant city on the line in from one to three minutes and the notable changes in clarity of tone are illustrators. Much that passes for the triumph of the radio is a triumph of telephone service. Much of the entertainment that you get over the radio is brought most of the way by telephone. — Toledo Blade.

EXTREMELY LONG BACK CAPE A PLEASING STYLE DIVERSION

IT REQUIRES the genius of an arithmetician to keep tab on the multiplicity of caplets, scarfs and neckline drapes which so enhance modern dress.
Since the majority of necklines are finished off with beguiling, novel, fluttering floating effects, it most assuredly behooves the seeker of things fashionable, to make a study of the cunning fantasies which now play such a picturesque role in concealing yet revealing unsleeved arms.
Graceful scarf collars like the one in the picture interpret a most popular neckline treatment. These oblong or panel-shaped lengths of fabric are manipulated in countless ways. If the material be very sheer then are they sure to fall into lines of alluring grace, which encourages the designer to take countless liberties in adjusting them.
One pretty arrangement s to bring the long scarf ends to the back where they are tied together or perhaps caught with a buckle or in some man-
EXTREMELY LONG
A PLEASING

DESIGNERS are especially keen this season in regard to back-views. Apparently the prevailing sentiment is that if the back view is alluringly designful, the front will take care of itself. At any rate we are being made to feel that prepossessing backs are absolutely essential to good styling, and if one view or the other must be slighted let the front be sacrificed to the interests of the back. A very successful interpretation of the attractive-back-view theory is that of the extremely long-at-the-back cape which ties in a scarf at the front. Note its effectiveness in the picture. This pretty informal evening gown is of yellow mousseline de sole printed in rose and blue.
While these deep-back capes are very charming made of self fabric as illustrated, they are even more flattering if the cape be made of fine lace. Among the delights in store for the style-seeking woman are lace capes, which can be obtained at the better neckwear departments, featuring unusually deep backs which narrow to shallow fronts where they tie in fichu-like manner. It seems that all reads of fashion lead to attractive back views this season. Not only are evening frocks distinguished with elaborate back treatments, but the new suntan backs
py of The maintenance wh
ner are ingeniously held in position.
Quite clever is the thought of extending a single long streamer over one arm, the opposite end being fitted in to a oaklike formation.
Considerable attention is being given to neckline treatments in fashions for fall. It is said that tingling touches on silk, wool and velvet frocks will be featured, and that clever ideas will be exploited, such as deep caps of lace, elaborate jabor collars and other fetching conceits.
Color contrasts, too, will be worked out for fall in these scarf and capetel details. The model in the picture is typical of modes "on the way." This pretty sleeveless frock is fashioned of Madonna blue flat crepe. The scarf, collar is of eggshell tinted crepe edged with the blue.
For evening lovely scarf,yokes and collars are of silk net or tulle, which glitter with elaborate sequin embroiderings together with fine metal thread stitchery.

STYLE DIVERSION
which are a chief topic of conversation in style circles, are proving a genuine inspiration to the stylist to create novel and flattering effects. All sorts of "dressmaker" touches are being invented to enhance these daytime decollette backs, chief among which are pert little bows posed here and there to best advantage. At sight of a cunning gingham mode of recent appearance one was inclined to argue that a "turn about is fair play," for one could almost believe that the front of the dress had been shifted around to the back. At any rate most of the intriguing detail had been concentrated at the back, the front being conspicuously unadorned. Little bows of the gingham were tied in tiers across the half-way-to-the-walstine open space at the back and there was a tie-back of a gingham sash which formed a butterfly bow in bustle effect.
Perhaps it is in connection with formal evening modes that the feeling of backview elaboration is most frequently expressed. What with bustle effects, flowers positioned to accent the extreme back coletude, fanciful trains and such, the backview theme becomes a matter of paramount interest.

MOTOR TOURISTS' CAMPS IMPROVED
Resting Places Now Comprise a Number of Cottages or Cabins.
Like cars and highways, motor tourists' camps have been in the throes of evolution for a decade but seemingly are now taking a permanent form, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. The camps now comprise a number of cottages, or cabins, with complete furnishing, and are known as "cabin camps."
"They are a far cry from the camps or ten, or even five, years ago," a bulletin issued by the motor club touring bureau stated. "Many cities and towns were prone to designate as a camp any place where water was available. The result was that those motorists who favored camping were forced to carry a tent, cots, blankets, cooking utensils and even portable fireplaces. Their cars, loaded with this duffel, resembled the covered wagons of the forty-niners. After driving perhaps 300 miles during the day, the motorists had to allot at least two hours to the strenuous effort of making camp.
"Today, however, the cabin camp is frequently encountered west of the Mississippi river, and particularly in the western mountain states. Motorists driving in those regions can expect to stop at a cabin camp almost every night. Spotless linen and shining pots, pans and tableware await the travelers. A commissary is frequently nearby. Some cabin camps offer private garages and even a kennel for the dog. All of these accommodations are usually obtainable at nominal prices.
"The East, in this instance, is slowly following the example set by the West. Cabin camps are making their appearance east of the Mississippi river, but slowly. If the law of supply and demand applies here, it may be expected that western car owners on tour in the East this summer will give great impetus to the creation of cabin camps in those states."
Q.-What danger is connected with driving a car with a cracked window?
Ans.-A minor accident, an unexpected bump, or even a strong wind may cause the glass to shatter, throwing chips into the car and possibly some one's eyes.
Q.-How many persons are employed in the automobile industry directly and indirectly?
Ans.-About 3,956,000 directly and 385,000 indirectly.
Q.-Why should the steering wheel be held by the rim instead of the spokes when driving at a fast rate of speed?
Ans.-Should a front tire blow, this method of holding the wheel gives more latitude in an emergency.
Q.-What should be done if a fire occurs in the wiring system?
Ans.-Turn off ignition, then disconnect either one of the battery terminals.
AUTOMOBILF NOTES
Germany has 400,000 _passenger automobiles and 500,000 _motorcycles.
Germany plans to spend more than $1,000,000 in improving its highways.
A careless driver is detected by the condition of the fenders of his car.
Driving in the rain has its advantages. That it is cooler is one advantage.
Watch front wheel alignment. If the wheels are out of line for a day on the tour it may mean more tire wear than in a week of normal driving.
Popular Pastime in Italy
According to a report issued by the Italy-America society, automobile racing at break-neck speed is a major sport in Italy, rivaling even soccer in popularity. Thousands of fans see the races held in all parts of the country, particularly near Milan, where the "Monza classic," world-famous, is an annual treat. Recently the best machines and the fastest drivers in Italy took part in a thousand-mile race, which was won by Campari, Italian champion. Campari scored an average of 70 miles an hour, not on a race track, but on country roads—a real record when one considers the handicaps and the obstacles in this type of racing.
The Monza classic is open to foreigners as well as to Italians, but the latter have been winning so consistently that foreign entries are becoming fewer and fewer each year. Campari has won the national championship twice and is easily the best road racer in the world. A few years ago he won the Grand Prix at Lyon, beating the most famous of his European competitors.
Italy is fast becoming a sporting nation. Besides auto and bike racing, soccer, basketball and track, another rapidly-growing sport is boxing. A recent national championship drew 55,000 fans. Italian boys make splendid fighters—as Americans well know. They have stamina, speed and courage. The Italian public, youthful, vigorous and enterprising, loves the element of contest. It is an inheritance from the days of old, when Romans picked the Coliseum and made national heroes of their athletes. Surely it is a good sign.

Motor Brake Regulation
The department of highways of the Canadian government has issued regulations governing motor vehicle brakes. In class A, which includes all passenger cars and some trucks, foot brakes must stop the car within fifty feet at twenty miles an hour on a dry level road. Under the same conditions, hand brakes must stop the car within seventy-five feet. Class B includes vehicles over 6,000 pounds gross weight, designed for transportation of goods, and all cars not in class A. Foot and hand brakes when applied simultaneously to this class of car must stop It within fifty feet or within seventy-five feet if applied separately.
