WILBERFORCE.—The State Senate's finance committee made its regular biennial visit to the State (C. N. & I.) Department, last week Friday. Two members of the committee are Senators B. J. McClusky and Wm. J. Zoul, of Cleveland. After the inspection a meeting was held which Supt. C. C. Jenkins attended and explained the budgetary needs and how the last appropriation was spent. He also showed that additional storories were needed to accommodate the budgetary requirement of students from the state. After the meeting, the Senators were served dinner in Arnett Hall prepared by Miss Anne Weaver, dietitian. The committee was greatly pleased with its visit.—Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of Pilgrim Hall church, Chicago, held a week of prayer, Jan. 28 tha Feb. 1, for the students. Those from Chicago gave a reception for him at President and Mrs. R. R.

Lane, of the Pre-School Education Department, delivered an exceptionally interesting experience to the entire student body on "Personality Foundations Laid in Early Childhood." A POLITICAL FROLIC WITH PEOPLE'S MONEY Orgy of Reckless Public Spending to Continue Under new policies The following interesting and timely article is from the Columbus Bulletin, organ of the State Republican executive committee of Ohio: President Roosevelt has asked for, and will get $4,880,000,000 for a new public works program. This is the latest Roosevelt experiment. It is to be a re-birth of the new deal. It is the second or third rediscovery of the royal road to recovery. It is the latest experiment of the brain trust, and is accompanied by the usual encouragement to use a wide barrage of publicity and high sure propaganda. While it is described by its experimental promoters, as the salvation of a despairing nation, it contains no new fundamental principle that warrants any well-founded hope of lasting or substantial improvement. It is only a larger, more expensive and expansive model of an admitted and discredited failure. The most significant and regrettable fact in connection with the $4,880,000,000 public experiment is the apparent failure of the President to profit from experience or to embrace the outstanding knowledge made available from fruitless practice. There is no reason to expect this revamped and more expensive child of the brain trust, to be more successful than the old model. The business of a businessmen to be joined by some of its sponsors to have been worse than a failure. There is little chance that the administration can prepare plans and get ready to spend this vast amount of money in any kind of public works program that will build profitably or permanently for the future. There is no promise that it will cause any considerable employment by private industry. There is scant hope that it will lessen unemployment at all for any period of time except during the orgy of unorganized and frenzied spending. It will again retard, rather than encourage the restoration of that must precede any genuine review of business plans panied with employment of labor by private industry. There are no additional safeguards against waste and the willful perversion of public money for political machine building in this latest excursion into the theoretical realms of spending the nation out of the depression. It is just another deal of the old new deal, typically Rooseveltian; a $4,880,-000,000 gamble, and another trofee of Farley politicians with the people's money. Doings of the Race Hon. Arthur W. Mitchell of Chicago, our only representative in the U. S. Congress, has introduced an anti-lynching bill, H. R. 4457. Mrs. Mitteie Burton of Chicago was awarded $4,000, last week, by the Illinois Industrial Commission. Her husband was killed while working for the Lake Coal & Dock Co. there. Historic Charles St. A. M. E. church property, Boston, *60 years old, Rev. O. W. Childers, former Cleveland, O. pastor, in charge, has been optioned and will move to the south end of the city. Mrs. Gertrude Ayers is the new principal of Public (mixed) School, No. 24, (Harlem) N. Y. City, which has 26 teachers only three of whom are Afro-Americans. She is our first woman principal in the "Empire City." The date and time of the nationwide radio broadcast by Senator Edward P. Costigan, on the federal anti-lynching bill, is Feb. 12, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The norm standard time, over stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System. --- The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING Just as The Rounder feared, Councilman John E. Hubbard welched, Monday evening, and refused to introduce his resolution authorizing the removal of the fence in the Bryant gasoline station at E. 85th St. and Cedar Ave., as promised, last week. The result is that he has turned against his candidacy HUNDREDS of his constituents, not only friends of the Bryants, but scores of Bryant sympathizers in and out of St. James A. M. E. church. Already at least two, who aspire to represent the 18th Ward in the City Council, are announcing their candidacies. The Rounder learns that the attempt thus far to unionize the city garbage (Fairfield garage garbage department) has been only partially successful. None of our employees of the garage are permitted to join the union altho to date two attempts have been made by our mechanics to do so. They were told that they might join the greasers and porters' unions but not the mechanics. What do you think of that? Four of our men are already and John is an assistant. Whether the attempt to organize the shop is successful or not remains to be seen. Our councilmen ought to take up this matter with the Mayor and the head of the local Federation of Labor. If you can find the time, hear John L. Spivak this evening, Feb. 9, at Engineers' auditorium. It was Mr. Spivak who uncovered the rottenness of the southern chain-gangs and exposed them in his book which created an international sensation. Tonight, he will expose the Fascist movement in America. Our folk who live in "a Fascist empire" in that section of this country to the south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, ought to be the first of all groups both ready and anxious to attend a Spivak meeting. Without question, the two scouts attached to the local German consular will visit Berlin in England for a graphic b Berlin in day, an account of the size of the meeting and the spirit manifested. Cleveland should give them plenty to cable, and the contents of their messages should cause Mr. Hitler to throw one more fit and his right-hand man, Herman Wilhelm Goering, to take a double dose of morphine. Mr. Sidney Markey's prompt and proper stand at the Friendly Inn, Monday evening, is all that estopped a small riot with our people and Italian patrons of the place and others participating. It seems that when our people had dances in the Inn, the Italians were permitted to participate freely. On this occasion, the Italians were woken up and dancing the dance sought to refuse our people who wanted to participate, Mr. Markey, head-worker of the Inn, told them plainly that there could be no discrimination as between races in that place. This edit was not issued any too soon, because the Italians promoting the dance had called in friends to help put over "rough-house." Mr. Markey's statement, that as long as he was head-worker at the Friendly Inn, he was the best discrimination of any kind, and that those who did not favor such a policy of fairness and right should stay away, was a "knockout." More power to him and his kind. Some weeks ago, The Rounder called the attention of our local Federation of Women's clubs and the NAACP local branch to the case of the three or four little orphan children whose mother, Mrs. Louise Brown, age 44, was killed by an auto driven by Peter DeGreen, age 52, at Kinsman Rd. and E. 82d St., on Nov. 27. Sergeant Cornelius J. Sullivan of the police manslaughter squad insisted that DeGreen was driving recklessly, too fast, when he struck Mrs. Brown, and claimed that there were at least three important witnesses. Two of them were in court, Tuesday. They were Wm. Wilson of 821 I Glade Ave., who sweats that he was hit by a car named son, 2006 E. 51st St., said "he did not see the accident but that a 'fixer' (since) told him he would get money by testifying that he did see it and that Mrs. Louise Brown was intoxicated." Sullivan's third SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RPRISE! KER'S FOLLY. What Is Christanity WHEN IT CLOSES This DRIVEWAY Why Is This DRIVEWAY CLOSED? GAS ING at STATION Bryant erected the sign shown in the lower right. e Rev. D. above) is Bryant the west- ant's gas venue be- way from A. M. E. law. Mr. ut, Compliments of the Cleveland Daily Press. The Christianity of the Rev. D. Ormond Walker (right above) is questioned by Calvin Bryant (left) in the closing of the western drive-away to Bryant's gas station at 8425 Cedar avenue because it is not 200 feet away from the pastor's St. James A. M. E. Church as required by law. Mr. What Is Christianity WHEN IT CLOSES This DRIVEWAY Why Is This DRIVEWAY CLOSED? INQ at STATION Bryant erected the sign shown in the lower right. At last the truth of that Bryant gasoline station contention has come to the surface for the public. This is the history of it: Originally Mr. and Mrs. Bryant operated a gasoline station (for 5 years) at $716 Cedar Ave., across from St. James A. M. E. church of which Rev. David Ormonez Walker is pastor. They were forced from this station, they claim, by a brother member of the church who desired to operate it or have a friend do so. This station is much nearer to the church, the across the street, than the one the Bryant's are now operating at the corner of E. $85th and Cedar Ave., nearly 200 feet away (east) from the church. The City Planning Commission has a law requiring the operation of a gasoline station within 200 feet of a church (on the same side of the street), if the members thereof object to it. This is what Walker stands on in voicing his objections to the Bryant gasoline station while tolerating the one across the street from the church which is much nearer to it. The owner of this gasoline station is friendly to the pastor, it seems, which without further comment apparently explains "Walker's witness, Robert Lee Hayes, $211 Glade Ave. is reported to have received money and left town, Sullivan says. When the two state's witnesses, Wilson and Dickerson, were placed in a room, Tuesday, in the county prosecutor's suite in the Criminal Courts building, and a law aide approached "fixer," they said had approached them in an effort to win them from the Sullivan-Brown side of the case, Assist, Co. Prosecutor John J. Mahon, newspaper men, Sergt. Sullivan and Detective Harrison Harney stood outside the door listening to the loud angry voices therein. They heard the man, the alleged "fixer," shout "I did not!" To which the two witnesses in unison replied "Yes, you did!" That was enough for Mahon to order the alteration. The foregoing indicates the absolute necessity of close supervision of this case by members of our Federation of Women's Clubs and the NAACP local branch, just as we suggested, some weeks ago. "HARLEM" NOT THE ONLY ONE --- Having a Mixed Staff of Doctors and Internes, and Where Our People Enjoy Equal Opportunities With Others Cleveland, Ohio., Feb. 5, '35. Editor, "The Courier," Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Conferee:—My attention has been called to an editorial, "A Friend of the Negro Physician," in a recent issue of your paper in which occurs the following sentence: "This (Harlem Hospital, N. Y. City) is the only municipal hospital in the United States having a mixed staff of doctors and internes and where Negroes enjoy equal opportunities with their white colleague." Permit me to call your attention to the City Hospital of Cleveland which for some years has had "a mixed staff of doctors and internes and where Negroes enjoy equal opportunities with their white colleagues." This is the result of a three-year-fight of some of our neo THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compari- with any will immediately seize the WESIEST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. folly"—opposition to the Bryant gasoline station, especially the building of the fence which closes the western driveway in the Bryant gasoline station and compels its customers to back out of the eastern driveway (entrance), as per instructions of the court when Bryant was ordered before it on the complaint of Walker. This explains the sign, in the closed western driveway of the Bryant gasoline station, which questions the Christianity of the opposition of the Rev. David Ormonde Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church. Mr. Bryant claims to have secured the signatures of 400 members of St. James' congregation saying that the driveway didn't bother them. The use of the closed driveway of the Bryant gasoline station didn't harm the community. Many of our people throneth the city feel that it is about time for the great majority of the members of St. James A. M. E. church to take a decided stand against "Walker's folly," because it is placing the membership in anything but a commendable light in the estimation of the great mass of our people in this community who believe in promoting rather than harming our business enterprises. ple of Cleveland, led by "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1935. Ex-Governor Vic Donahey, junior U. S. senator from Ohio, made scores of worthw*ile friends when he voted against adherence, upon the part of this country, to the World Court. We do not believe that he lost any, be- cause of that vote. —i1i— ‘The Gazette is pleased to note that the NAACP local branch is to unite with representatives of the local di- vision of the ILD in preparing for a meeting where the plight of the Scottsboro boy-victims and Angelo Herndon will be thoroly aired. Arous- ing the public by means of mass- meetings, under capable direction, is the best way to keep down our American Hitlers. Ever since the days of President Coolidge, President Wm. Green of the A. F. of L. has done his level best to curry favor with whatever gentleman happened to occupy the White House. Now the Roosevelt administration shows its respect for ‘im by kicking him “in the seat of the pants.” The A. F. of L. will not ‘be permitted to speak for the auto- mobile workers. In the first place it does not control a majority of the employees. Secondly, there is noth. ing to show that the unions which may be expected to develop will af- filiate with the American Federation of Labor. ‘The Hon. Chester K. Gillespie, chairman of the legal defense, com- mittee of the NAACP local branch, has written Judge Homer G. Powell, chief justice of our local court of common pleas, asking the common pleas court judges to take early ac- tion against Sheriff John M. Sulz- mann’s racial segregation of prison- ers in the county jail. There ought not to be, and we do not think there will be, any hesitancy upon their part, since the sheriff's “jim-crow” rule is in direct conflict with provi- sions of our Ohio Civil Rights law, since under Sheriff Sulzmann’s man- agement the county jail is a “place ot public accommodation and amuse- ment.” —— “HUNTING TROUBLE.” Senator Borah of the northwest, for many years a political weather vane, with slight Republican tsan- ings, proposes that the U. 8. Senate set itself up as an international tri- bunal and spend $10,000 inquiring into the alleged denial of religious Uberties in Mexico. In the hey-day of the Ku Klux Klan, but a few years ago, neither Borah nor the Senate were exercised: about re- ligious Isberties in our own country being attacked by that rotten organt- zation. Nor is it now eager to inter- fere with the denial of civil liberties in Louisianna, California, and other states, very pertinently remarks the editor of The Cleveland Daily Press, which continuing, says: “But if the Senate is in the mood to make itself judge of domestic dis- putes in other countries it may not stop with Mexico, but go on to in- ‘vestigate: “Nazi oppression of Jews and Catholics in Germany; Mussolini's tyranny in Italy; England's dictator- ship in India; Serbian oppression of Croats and Slovenes in Jugoslavia; opium traffic in China; Soviet liqui- dation of Russian kulaks; Japanese persecution of liberals; press censor- ship in a score of countries, and a thousand other violations of freedom around the world. “Of course, other nations may re- ciprocate our kindly interest in the welfare of their people. “Japan may investigate our treat. ment of Orientals in Arizona and California; Hitler, our alleged third- Aaaps ot Saene, Senvinans ae our quaint police practice or clubbing radicals; Abyssinia, our nu- merous lynchings and the. Beottsbo- ro trials; Ireland, our imprisonment of innocent Tom Mooney, and Mexi- 20, our exploitation of cheap Mext eno labor along the border. “Without questioning the Borah resolution’s assumption of American moral superiority and the Senate's omniscience, we venture to suggest that it will require « rather large Army and Navy to protect us once we begin to meddle in the domestic quarrels of the rest of the world.” ii FREEING PRISONERS Altho it may be anathema to the Cleveland Assoctation for. Criminal Justice, we venture the opinion that former Gov. Gorse White deserves commendation for reducing substan- tistly the population of the state penitentiary at Columbus, Prison sentences are invariably too long. Prisons have become breeding places for crimes which verge more and more upon rebellions against. the sovereign authority of the state it- self. Such outbursts will grow in numbers if our habit of passng out ten, twenty and thirty-year sentences continues, We believe few judges should have the right to mete out a definite sentence to @ convicted fel- on, because rarely is a judge so qual- sfied. Let the judge pass on the facts which merit the conviction of a pris. oner. ‘The determination of the length of time the criminal must serve and the conditions under which he must labor should be the task of a commission of experts, con- sisting of psychiatrists, physicians and social workers. If it is deemed necessary to include an attorney, his Position in the group should be sec- ondary. - The Gazette is not in sym- pathy with the method in vogue, to- day, whereby a prisoner with infu- ential friends ts:paroled or pardoned auickly, while a deserving poor in- mate is forced to do a needlessly long stretch. We would have our prisons staffed by trained scientists and not mediocrities, the laughing- stock of penologists because of an- iquated views, But in the absence of much social intelligence by state authorities, we prefer an occasional prison exodus of the George White variety to the brutalities which might be expected were such extrem- ests as the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice permitted to exer cise its desires. | HOUSING COLOR LINE It will be local housing authori- ties, in charge of the rental of apart. ments in the government's so-called low-cost housing units, that will adopt and carry into effect the race segregation policy announced from Washington, D. C., recently, by the PWA. What Councilman Bohn seems to lose sight of is the fact we have repeatedly called attention to in recent months, and that is that southern “crackers” are in control of the administration at Washington, D, C., and will determine the segre- gation policy to be followed in the Outhwaite and Cedar-Central areas, as well as elsewhere in the country, as far as our people are concerned. They are determined, just as far as possible, to bring about the separa- tlon ‘of the two races in this section of the country just as they have it in the South. It was so in many in- stances during the Thomas Woodrow Wilson southern —Democratie-con- trolled administration, and will be so in the Outhwaite and Cedar-Cen- tral housing units, just as it is in the Atlanta, Ga., housing unit. MUST KEEP STEP, Says the Hon: Henry P. Fletcher Chairman of the Republican Na- tional Committee—He's Right, Too New York City.—Answering those who haye demanded a Mberalization of the Republican party, the nation- al chairman, Henry P. Fletcher, when here a few days ago, declared that the “reactionariés and stand- patters are not in control of the par- ty organization.” Addressing the forum of the New York County Re- publican club—at which Senators Borah and Nye urged a Mberaliza- tion several Weeks ago—Chairman Fletcher said: “I am just as anxious as any sen- ator—or any Republican—to keep our party in step with modern politi- cal thought and changing economic conditions. That is essential if we are to continue as a virile force in this country.”* In a vigorous criticism of the Roosevelt administration, Mr. Fletch- er also said: “The New Deal has sown and is sowing the wind of socialism. The country may have to reap the whirlwind of demagogic radicalism. Some profess to hear the rumblings of the coming storm. It is not nec- essary to question the good faith and sincerity of the President, or his sympathetic approach to all ques- tions affecting the social well-being of our people in order to disagree ‘with and oppose his policies.” Mr. Feltcher sees the $4,880,000, 000 relief appropriation as aiding President Roosevelt ‘‘not only in se- curing the legislation he desires, but in influencing the election in 1936.” ‘The Republican chairman called the relief measure “the most as- tounding single piece of legislation in the annals of American history,” and said it was a step toward com- plete abdication of constitutional powers on the part of Congress. “I strongly suspect,” he asserted “that one purpose back of the un precedented drive for this appropri- ation, under the whip, spur and gag fs that the President is shrew enough to know what a tremendous influence the control of this fun¢ will have, not only in securing the legisiation he desires, but in influ ‘fencing the election of 1936.” Lloyd Marshall and Jesse Levels are again our local Golden Gloves champs—headed for the national G. contests ta Chicane.

Telephone Girls' Hands Fly As Hundreds in Steubenville Call for Free Movie Tickets WHAT happens at the nearest telephone exchange when a radio announcer blandly requests his hundreds of listeners to call a certain telephone number immediately? For an illuminating answer, ask any operator in The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's exchange at Steubenville, O. Promptly at 10:25 every weekday morning, the Steubenville switchboards suddenly light up like Christmas trees, the hum in the offices swells in volume, and the arms of the operators are forced to move at top speed to keep up with the lights. A moment before this, hundreds of housewives and children are listening at their radios. A telephone number is announced. They rush to their telephones. They all call the same number. Naturally, most of them get busy signals because the telephone can receive only one call at a time, but nevertheless they keep on trying, which means additional works for the operators. It all originates with an advertising stunt promoted by a radio station. At 10:25, the station announces that the first 10 persons calling a certain Steubenville merchant and PEOPLE WHO PUT THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1935.

If you disregard its warning and neglect to treat it promptly, look out for sickness! You cannot hope to have good health if you do nothing to prevent or to relieve constipation. Some of its disturbing effects may be— Billions attacks, poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, bad breath, coated tongue, slick skin, poor eyes, bloating of the abdomen, belching up of gas, unacnesis, physical and mental sluggishness, etc. You won't need a medicine for constipation, you won't find a better laxative than a NATURAL medicine, like THEFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT, made out of the leaves and roots of certain highly approved medicinal plants. Black-Draught costs less than most laxative medicines, so you can afford to keep it and take it, when needed. If you are feeling bad, like you might be in need of Theford's Black-Draught, take a dose tonight and feel better tomorrow. Sold in 35-cent packages.

Every day the number of a different concern is announced, so the listener must wait until the number is broadcast before calling. The first time the idea was tried, without advance knowledge of it, the operators thought a great calamity had befallen the community when the calls began to pour in. However, they soon learned it was to be a daily stunt and prepared for it. To meet the situation the telephone company has re-scheduled operators' relief periods so that every girl is on duty and every position occupied when the rushes come. Requires Swift Handling Working at remarkable speed by handing nearly eight calls per minute per operator, the girls have learned to cope with the situation, but it is quite possible that some Steubenville subscriber who does not know of the broadcast wonders why his telephone service seems a trifle slow for 15 minutes each morning. The flood of calls reaches its peak on Saturday mornings when children are home from school and try their hand at winning movie tickets. Two or three times the station has announced the wrong number, but the calls pour in just the same.

The truck, which was loaded with hospital supplies, crashed into a ditch on U. S. Route No. 6 about 10 miles northeast of Fremont, O., at a point directly beneath the cables. When ether gas tanks—a part of the cargo—exploded, giant flames licked high in the sky destroying 45 feet of the cables. Break Reported Quickly The truck caught fire at 3:45 o'clock in the morning. Within a few minutes the flames had eaten through the protective lead sheath, permitting gas pressure within the cables to drop and sound an alarm in Toledo, 40 miles away. The cables are two of the many arterial telephone cables in the United States that constantly are kept under gas pressure to provide an instantaneous means of notification in case their protective lead sheaths are damaged in any way. Although only a few feet of cable were burned, hundreds of miles of cable were affected by the break. At dawn telephone men in Cleveland, Toledo and other cities left their beds to cope with the situation. Key Lines Severed Quick action was imperative.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. A NATIONAL HILLIARD large balloon into the stratosphere will be made in the summer of 1935. Jointly by the National Geographic society and the United States army air corps, Capt. Albert W. Stevens will be in command of the balloon which will be piloted by Capt. Ovril A. Anderson. Like the expedition of last summer, the flight of 1935 will take off from a natural basin in the Black Hills, eleven miles southwest of Rapid City, S. D. sphere flight had been the Stratocrop for we road cars filled with hiders containing compra arrived in Rapid City, generous co-operation Guardsmen of South I fleet of trucks, to soon nearly piloted alo the camp. Collecting the I The gondola rolled in a journey of more the miles, from Midland. Preparation for such a flight is a stipendous task. From the inception of the last flight, in the fall of 1933, with the guidance of the scientific committee appointed by President Grosvenor of the National Geographic society, no paints were spared to produce the best possible instruments and equipment for collecting scientific data in the stratosphere. The instruments were to be of full laboratory size to insure the greatest attainable accuracy. This meant that some would be both bulky and heavy. To house these many large instruments, it became necessary to design a gondola larger than any that had previously been sent aloft. Finally, it became apparent that to lift the gondola and its cargo of apparatus high into the stratosphere, a very large balloon would be required. Experts were consulted, skilled in such construction, and a contract was given to design and build a larger balloon than any previously constructed—a bag which, when fully inflated, would contain 3,000,000 cubic feet of gas. It required five months to fashion this gigantic bag, and into it went two and a third acres of rubber-impregnated cloth made from long staple cotton. While it was being built, work was begun on the gondola, a globe of dowmetal, lighter than aluminum; and in a score of laboratories and workshops from New York to California specially designed instruments were being constructed. Meanwhile a site for the base camp of the stratosphere flight had been chosen in western South Dakota. Three considerations determined this choice: the point was far enough west to permit the balloon to drift even 700 or 800 miles to the eastward and still come to earth in relatively level, unforested country; the record of the region was promising for good summer flying weather; and the site was sheltered from surface winds. Making the "Stratocamp." Early in June a camp was established in the deep, cliff-enriched natural "bowl" near Rapid City. It quickly became known as the "Stratocamp." Capt. Orvill A. Anderson was on the scene from the start. Under his capable direction the camp developed from an almost deserted basin into a bustling little village of more than a hundred inhabitants. Within a few weeks it had its drainage system, and sawdust-paved streets, a waterworks, two electric lighting systems, a sewage disposal plant, parking spaces, traffic officers, a hospital and ambulance. There was even a fire department with a full-size hose wagon, two professional fire fighters, a dozen fire extinguishers, and a volunteer corps to operate them, providing a safeguard against accident in handling quantities of explosive gas. No smoking was permitted in the neighborhood of the hydrogen cylinders. Three telephone lines and two radio stations kept the Stratocamp in communication with the outside world, and there were two telegraph wires leading to teletype machines which constantly rapped out weather information from points as far away as Alaska, Cuba and Iceland. The special weather station set up at the camp, through the co-operation of the United States weather bureau, the signal corps, and the air corps, ranked in fullness of information furnished with the half dozen most important weather stations in the United States. Two weeks after the camp was started, Captain Stevens went out by plane from Washington, taking some special instruments. A few days later Maj. William E. Keperne few into Rapid City, and the flight personnel was complete. Freight car loads and truck loads of the equipment necessary for a strate sphere flight had been converging on the Stratocamp for weeks. Three railroad cars filled with heavy steel cylinders containing compressed hydrogen arrived in Rapid City. Thanks to the generous co-operation of the National Guardmen of South Dakota and their fleet of trucks, these tons of steel were soon neatly piled along one edge of the camp. Collecting the Equipment. The gondola rolled in by truck, after a journey of more than a thousand miles, from Midland, Mich., and was installed in the commodious gondola house, the entire front of which could be opened up. A few days later another truck brought in a huge box containing the balloon bag, which weighed two and a half tons, carefully packed in a waterproof container. The box was placed on blocks in the exact center of the level floor of the "bowl," protected from sun and rain by a canvas tent fly, there to remain until the day of the inflation. The largest truck of all to traverse the winding road down into the basin arrived the following week—the liquid oxygen generator truck of the army air corps. It supplied the essential liquid oxygen used to make breathable air inside the gondola during the flyers' stay in the stratosphere. Several airplane loads of instruments were down to Rapid City; and daily freight and express packages arrived, their contents varying from machine-shop tools to delicate vacuum tubes. The last of the preparatory work was completed on July 9. From that time on the flight could have taken place any day, so far as the equipment was concerned. But it was essential that the flight be made during very special—and, unfortunately, rare—weather conditions, covering the area for seven or eight hundred miles east. At last, on July 27, the long-awaited high-pressure area had drifted in from the west and promised for the next day the conditions wanted both at the Stratocamp and to the east. When, at noon, Major Kepern announced officially that the weather was satisfactory for the flight and that the inflation would begin that evening, the camp was galvanized into activity. Off for the Stratosphere. Guests were barred from the floor of the "bowl"; only men with definite jobs to perform were permitted in the camp. The balloon box was opened and the huge, billowy mass of fabric was spread out on the circular sawdust-covered canvas-protected bed that had been prepared for it. Bus load after bus load of soldiers arrived from Fort Meade. They were the men of the ground crew who were to hold the balloon in leash while the hydrogen poured into it. At the gondola house, those concerned with the instruments were extremely busy. A definite schedule was worked out, minutes were allotted and, one after the other, specialists climbed into the black and white ball to install batteries and to give their instruments a final tuning up. On all sides the preparations moved ahead like clockwork. At dusk the bloodlights in the great ring that extended around the floor of the basin were turned on and a little later the hydrogen gas was started through the canvas tubes into the vast maw of the balloon. By shortly after five o'clock there remained only a few last-minute tasks to be performed—the careful placing of rope ends for valve and rip-cords; the lashing on of a small mail sack; the loading of warm flying clothes and parachutes. Captain Anderson and Captain Stevens climbed into the gondola; Major Kepner to its rope enclosed top, the better to direct the take-off. The outer ropes were dropped; only the gondola and ten small hand ropes attached to it held the gigantic bag of gas to the earth. Major Kepner directed the final ground activity of the flight before the ascent—the weighing off. Ropes were slackened to test the balloon's lift. Ballast was adjusted until the upward pull seemed just right. Then came the order, "Cast off!" Then came the order: "cast on" the balloon was away for the balloon. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

The importance of lace and net and various beauteous sheers of similar character cannot be over emphasized. Reports pour in from Paris in regard to the enthusiasm shown for gowns that are that thin and fluttery and diaphanous they need must be made over foundational slips of silk, or satin, crap or lame. In describing the group of distinguished lace fashions pictured, we are so enthusiastic about the superbly lovely lace frock to the right in the trio we are going to tell about it first. It is a wedding gown which is real style news, gives it an added touch of glamor and romance, too. More and more brides are intrigued with the idea of lace for the all-important nuptial event. One of the reasons, perhaps, is that lace is so luxurious and beautiful In itself, it needs no furbelows and intricate cutting to enhance it. Silver lace is particularly sumptuous and it makes a really thrilling wedding gown. Ardanee of Paris, whose creations are ever strikingly original, creates this exquisite bridal costume of this silver lace. It has a square court train which may be draped as a wrap, as here shown, which makes it practical for the bride to wear as an evening gown later. A white satin godet is inserted at the side-front. The same satin borders the train, also the long sleeves. In the charming black lace dress CONTRAST SLEEVES By CHERIE NICHOLAS WWW The idea of sleeves contrasting the rest of the dress is holding good in midseason styling. Advance spring fashions and resort modes also emphasize this feature. Not only are sleeves in direct contrast but the matter of cutting sleeves and yoke in one is important, according to reports in regard to advance fashions. The diner dress pictured is of dull black velvet with cut-in-one sleeves and yoke of sheer ribbed velvet which makes this dress practical for late-into-the-spring wear. A delicate rhinestone necklace, just the right length for the neckline, adds formality. The wide rhinestone belt also sounds the glittering note which fashion demands for evening. In reality this dress is part of a suit, having a simple, fitted hiplength jacket fastened at the small turnover collar with two handsome silver fox tails. Feathers on Gowns Evening gowns trimmed with phasian feathers are seen in London. ay Your C or an Acq THE FASHION WEEKLY centered in the picture, Paton has very ingeniously contrived to coax a youthful little peplum to circle the hips and go ruffling down the back. From the picture one might easily fancy that net of large open mesh fashioned this dress instead of lace. However, it is really a rather heavy lace, smartly patterned in a conventional design which is younger looking than the more formal and ornate orals. There is just enough sophistication about this dainty frock to appeal to the bud "just out" in society who aspires to poise and dignity. Speaking of the new net frocks, likewise the now-so-voygish marquisettes, they are going in for color for all they are worth, unusual tones such as raspberry, violet (said to be the coming big color). Marina blue, rust and dark red. In regard to the gown illustrated to the left in the group, color adds to the enchantment of the lace which fashions it. For this gown of classic simplicity Callot uses a gorgeous copper-colored lace lace, posing it over a white creep silk slip. The collar of white coq feathers is a grand climax. A word should be spoken in regard to the tendency this season to employ laces of a filmy texture both in colors and black. The newer black lace dresses hold one almost spellbound in their fragile beauty. Then, too, among recent showings are stunning lace modes which display a riot of fine knife pleatings which form wide ounces and bertha off-shoulder decoulettes and shoulder capes and other captivating details. © Western Newspaper Union. NEW WRINKLES IN SPRING SHOWINGS Peplums and pleats are the new wrinkles in advance style showings for spring, and in last-word touches for mid-winter costumes. Pleats are cropping out all over the place—in evening gowns and daytime frocks, used to give skirt fullness in back or front, or to add character to a peplum flare. They are showing up even in hatbrims and in scarfs, in bustle effects on evening gowns and in whole skirts for formal costumes of the naughty nineties school. The tiered cape in starched net gains distinction if the net is pleated. Sheer evening gowns are knockouts with voluminous skirts knife-pleated from waist to floor, with an additional pleated peplum flare on the fitted waist-length jacket. Wide Belts and Princess Lines.Are Now Emphasized Two fashion specifications—wide belts and princess lines—are emphasized to a degree that makes it seem certain that there's to be no fooling about women keeping their waistlines well corrected and smooth. In either case, it must be carefully and thoroughly digested that it is not a pulled-in or nipped waistline. Wide belts are now shaped so that they have a curved profile to coincide with the natural waistline, and thus putting a stop once and for all to the abrupt cut at top and bottom that has been the big drawback in wide belts in the past. Turtle Neck Collar The turtle neck collar is a feature of many sweaters and a novelty is the posting of this collar in a dark color on a light sweater, such as wine red on a creamy off-white.

NEW YORK (Special).—George Washington, first President of the United States, was a distiller of importance in his time, in addition to being a patriot, soldier and statesman of distinction and honor.

Conn., and who was a family descendant, disclose that President Washington made large donations to his Mt. Vernon estate in Virginia, and sold much of it on the market. Henry Woodhouse, president of the Historic Arts Association and recognized as one of the leading living authorities on George Washington, acquired the trunk and its valuable papers, and made public their interesting data, including inventory entries of the furniture and furnishings tured whiskey in stock, account book entries of expenditures for distilling, and receipts from the sale of whiskey. On Mt. Vernon Estate The records show, Mr. Woodhouse made public, that the Dogue Farm, a portion of the Mt. Vernon estate owned by George Washington, was somewhat unproductive. Washington's overseer, a Scotchman named Anderson, sold President Washington on to cultivate this acre for the growing of rye to be made into whiskey. A distillation formula was worked out, work was begun, and so originated the famous Mt. Vernon rye whiskey which holds high favor with drinkers until his day to day. He stored large quantities of his whiskey in his own cellars and distributed quantities to his friends. In addition, he sold quantities of that whiskey on the market. The records further show that George Washington was attached to the storage of rye whiskey distilling that he indicated a foresight of the part that was to be played by the product among American manufactured whiskies.
