Davis"—the organization of 720 members in the old Newburgh district, Davis' old home, which started the original Davis-for-Mayor boom in 1933—aren't local friends of Harry L. Davis any more. In fact, the club is going to disband and call it quits with Mayor Davis. One official said the potent G. O. P. organization was splitting with the mayor because: "Harry L. Davis didn't mind that the Harry he used to be." The meeting to disband will take place probably next week, it was reported. Members of the "Loyal Friends of Harry L. Davis" have turned against the mayor because they claim he broke all his promises to them and has surrounded himself with allies who are not "loyal friends." Leader of the revolt against the mayor within the club—whose name signifies the intense support the club gave Davis two years ago—is the mayor. He adviser to the mayor for 25 years. Maresh is as bitter against Davis today as he was favorable to him in 1933 "He didn't keep a promise to us," said Maresh. "He put men in jobs who didn't do a thing for him. Look at Fred Ryan and Don Smith (city hall patronage chiefs). What did they do for Davis that they weren't paid for? Then there's Walter Davis (public hall manager); he was a Sweeney man and didn't do a vice mayor before election. There's Ralph Jamieson (assistant welfare director)—he was a Sweeney man, too." The mayor's broken promises caused the disintegration of the Davis-for-Mayor clubs in both the 11th and 18th wards, the members of which are just as bitter against him as are "Tony" Maresh and his followers in the old Newburgh district. Only last week, scores of them, with others from the 12th and 13rd Avenue, and perfected the organization of a Harold H. Burton-for-Mayor club which started in by visiting Mr. Burton and importing him to stand as a candidate, something he has promised to do. Then there are thousands of other Afro-American voters in other wards of the city who are equally bitter against Mayor Harry L. Davis and are outspoken in their opposition to his candidacy. To him the voter for. They will not vote for him at the primary, or on election day in November, if he happens to be renominated. Nor have our local ministers forgotten Davis' aligning himself and "The Stevedore Twins" up with Russell Jelliffe of The Neighborhood Association (the E. 38th St. Playhouse) in that memorable contest. Then Mayor Davis' refusal to give a member of his cabinet when he was elected He did, however, appoint a Sweeney Polish Democrat a director when ninety-percent of that vote in the city is Democratic. There is much more for the Rounder to remind our voters of, later on. HAYES' VOICE. The famous tenor, Roland Hayes, was heard, Tuesday night, at Severance Hall, his recital being a benefit for the P. W. A. Two songs by Handel and one by P. E. Bach formed his first group. This was followed by Beethoven's "Adelale," and an encore, Schubert's "Wohin." The latter part of his program contained songs in French and En- OWENS' GREAT DAY WAS LAST SATURDAY He Sets Three World-Records and Equals a Fourth—Cleveland Boy Makes History and Proves One-Man Show—Now a U. S. Olympic Hope. Ann Arbor, Mich—Jessie Owens, age 21, spectacular national athlete, gave one of the most amazing demonstrations of versatility in track and field history here, last Saturday, to dominate completely the 35th annual Western Conference meet. He broad-jumped 26 feet $8\frac{1}{4}$ inches, breaking world record of 26 feet $2\frac{1}{4}$ inches held by Chuhei Nambu of Japan. Ran the 220-yard dash in 20.3 seconds, breaking world record of 20.6 seconds held by Roland A. Locke, University of Nebraska. Ran the 220-yard low hurdles in 22.6 seconds, breaking world record A of 23 seconds held by C. R. Brookins (said to be an Afro-American) of Iowa State University and Norman Paul of the University of Southern California. Run the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds, world record held by Frank Wykoff of the University of Southern California. The Greatest Ever. Jess Owens, who last Saturday made himself the greatest track athlete in the world's history, is 5 feet 11 inches tall, and slender. No human being, since the records of the ancient Greek Olympic games, has ever done what Owens did. Saturday last, at the Big Ten universities' annual track meet here when he broke three world's records in the broad jump, 220-yard dash, and 220-yard low hurdles, and equaled the world's record in the 100-yard dash, the only other event in which he competed. The 12,000 spectators were alternately stunned into silence and then moved to tremendous salvos of applause when the Buckeye ace staged his almost unbelievable show. Competing against the greatest athletes in the middle west his marathon of the 220, and in the 220, a full 10 yards, and in the low hurdles he whipped Phil Doherty of Northwestern, who almost conquered him last week, by 12 yards. "Greatest Achievement, in Sport." To Dr. Dan F. Griffin, trainer of Stella Walsh, Owens' performances were a vindication of an earlier prediction. "I have always vowed that if Jess was 'right' on any one day, there would be no bounds to his accomplishments," he asserted. "However, now that it has happened, I can hardly fathom it. It is, to my mind, not difficult to believe that but the greatest single achievement ever heard of in the realm of sport." A hard schedule awaits Jess in the next few weeks. On June 7, he will run in the central intercollegiate meet at Chicago and leave for the west coast from there June 9. On June 15, he will participate in a dual meet between Ohio State University and the University of Southern California, and on June 21 and 22, he will perform in the national intercollegiate meet at Los Angeles. After the national meet, he will participate on July 3 and 4. Two days later he will run in a meet at Buffalo. "And that will be enough for this season," Jess said. "After that I am going home to Cleveland and rest up the remainder of the summer." glish, several spirituals and numbers by Wm. Rhodes set to the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet laureate of the race. If Hayes were judged on his voice alone, there might be some reservations, tho it is on the whole an immensely serviceable organ. Aside from his keen sense of fascination and laziness, there is not a great deal in the voice, per se, to mark it with outstanding merit. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PRISES!

ETHIOPIA AND ITALY AGREE TO ARBITRATION ON BRITISH AND FRENCH INSISTENCE. The League of Nations Gives Approval—It Now Looks as If the Ethiopian-Italian Wordy War Is at an End. Geneva, Switzerland.—Italy capitulated, last week Friday night, before the tenacious pressure of Great Britain and France and agreed to a compromise proposal toward settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute. The League of Nations' Ouncil adopted two resolutions, accepted by Premier Benito Mussolini, arranging for the withdrawal unless the border incidents between the two nations have been settled by Aug. 25, '35, the council will be convoked in special session to deal with the situation. Mussolini gave a last minute sanction to the resolutions which also included reference to the standing Ethiopian-Italo Treaty, prohibiting recourse to armed force. Jubilant Over Result. Delegates to the court were called into session at 12:25 p.m. last week Friday night, and after a dramatic session, which lasted well into Saturday morning, were jubilant at the compromise reached. They said enthusiastically that one of the greatest crises in the League's history had been availed by Both Capt. Robert B. British and Capt. Pierre Laure, French foreign minister, also hailed the results as a triumph of the spirit of conciliation between Ethiopia and Italy, emphasizing the high authority of the League. The Italian delegation, Baron Pompeo Alolis, approved the appointments of two arbitrators to the commission represented by Ethiopia. Abyssinian representative, sitting temporarily as a council member at the late night-session, called immediately after announcement of Italy's capitulation, said his nation interpreted the agreement to mean: "Italy will refrain from sending additions to East Africa and will not employ troops already there for aggression." League council delegates first gave preliminary approval to the proposals in a secret session and then met in a public session at which the committee, in a humously.

Rome, Italy. — Giornale D'Italia, authoritative newspaper, last week Wednesday, said British troops have been concentrated on the Sudan-Ethiopian frontier and England "has constituted small military organizations and armament bases on Ethiopian territory itself." In an apparently inspired article, the newspaper said the British had concentrated troops, planes and war materials on the frontier, and asked what these preparations mean. It said the Ethiopian government feared a possible British advance and also had concentrated troops on the front facing the Sudan, all of which is ridiculous. ously wounded. His name headed a list of 28 medal awards, eight of them posthumous, announced by Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine, recently. There is no evidence that white people are superior to "Negroes" in intelligence, but there is much evidence to support the assertion that whites have been "woolfish" in their racial attitudes, writes Dr. John M.

It seems that the recent untimely death of U. S. Senator Bronson N. Cutting of New Mexico, has caused our people to loose a real friend where it has too few friends—in the South. The recent death of Jane Adams, founder and director of Hull House, Chicago, removes a figure from public life that had world-wide influence for good. All people should mourn her passing. --- Prof. W. E. B. DuBois is not only a segregationist but apparently has developed into a "crape-hanger" as far as the race is concerned. He now fears "the starvation of the 'Negro'." Don't worry, "Alphabetical." --- The announced scale of work-relief wages "will fall with unusual severity upon Negro workers" of the South. Secretary Walter White of the NAACP, has wired President Roosevelt that "the scheduled slave scale of $19 monthly is too low for decent living". And he is right. President Stenio Vincent of Haiti is seeking re-election. He was placed in the position largely by the influence of the government of this country and used by it. "If he persists in his attempt to succeed himself for another term, Haiti is in for a bloody period", is the prediction of Wm. Pickens, a secretary of the NAACP who visited that country in recent years and ought to be more or less familiar with local conditions there. We hope that country will be able to unload Vincent without resorting to arms. Floyd A. Rowe, physical welfare director of the Cleveland Board of Education, says "Jesse Owens is a credit to his race". Is he? The Ohio State University draws a colorline on our girls in its economic department, shamefully insulting and mistreating Miss Doris Weaver and at least two other girl-students of color who preceded her in that department, wholly on account of their racial connection. Our people throughout the country, as a result, begged Jess Owens to attend any other university or college that properly treated Afro-American students, and he refused to do so. Under the circumstances is he "a credit to the race"? We do not think so. TAKE THE MATTER TO COURT Early last year, Troy Thomas, a world war veteran and an employee of the city street-cleaning department, was discharged because he refused to pay the two dollars a month to the eleventh ward Republican club requipd of all city job holders in that ward. In his affidavit to this effect, Thomas said he discussed the matter with Councilman Payne who insisted upon the payment of the money. Thomas's failure to do so, resulted in his dismissal. Now comes John Hightower of 4621 Scovill Ave., who Saturday charged that he had been "fired" as a laborer from the city street-cleaning department, because he refused to pay two dollars to Councilman Lawrence O. Payne's 11th ward Republican club. Hightower said he used to contribute $2 a month to the club when he was working four days a week for the City but stopped paying because he wasn't making enough money. He says he was threatened with dismissal and finally dismissed because he refused to continue paying the money. Hightower says that his foreman told him Payne had ordered his dismissal on orders from City Hall. City officials say he was dismissed because too many men were on the payroll, and city records show that he worked last on April 17, being paid for two days' labor. Many of the small city jobholders in the 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th wards worked but a day and a half, or two days, a week so requiring them to pay two dollars a month to the ward club as in the 11th and 17th wards; $1 a month in the 18th ward, and 50c a month in the 12th ward becomes a more or less heavy burden, especially to those employees with families, and most of them have families to take care of. We believe that these assessments are unlawful under the city charter and some day in the near future we hope to see the matter threshed out in the court as it should be. Each of the wards mentioned have three hundred or more city-jobholders. The Republican clubs of these wards should be made to account for approximately five to seven hundred dollars per month it is claimed each one of them receives. SISSLE vs. HARVEY, INC. Ellen Sissle, with Hon. Chester K. Gillespie as her attorney, is suing "Harvey, Inc." proprietors of "Women's Apparel Shop" for $500 damages, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law, as a result of refusal of service in the shop because of her color or racial connection, or both. The attorney representing "Harvey, Inc." has filed a demurrer to the Gillespie petition which requires the latter to show that the shop is a place of "public accommodation" within the meaning of our Ohio Civil Rights law which specifically names "inns, restaurants, eating-houses, barber-shops, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, other places of public accommodation and amusement," etc. The "Women's Apparel Shop" caters to the public and asks its women's trade in its advertisements of all kinds, and therefore establishes, beyond all question, the fact that it is a "place of public accommodation." To cover just such cases as that of the Sissle-Wearing Apparel Shop is what the law was intended to do by the writer, its author, and the State Assembly that in 1894 enacted his civil rights bill into law. Prime Sport News Turns Down a European Tour. Columbus, O.—Jess Owens returned to O. S. U. campus, Monday morning, and announced that he had declined an A. A. U. offer to run in Europe, this summer. The record-breaking track star said he would go to work in Cleveland following the Ohio State track team's invasion of the west coast. Late in the afternoon he had a physical examination, the result of the soreness in his back and legs, last week. He will not take part in the meet at Harvard today (Saturday). Bouquet Handed Jess. Councilmen signed the resolution, Tuesday, passed unanimously, Monday night, extolling Owens as the "fastest human," as the result of setting three world-records at the Big Ten conference track meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., last Saturday, and a silver lining, on Monday night, for his parents who have been struggling to make ends meet for many years. Col. Harry E. Long, division manager of Loew's theaters, announced that he had telegraphed Cleveland Owens, unemployed father of the phenomenal local track star, to come to his office this morning if he wanted to work at Loew's State Theater. Col. Long said he could not tell what type of work would be given Owens until after a conference, but he added that the work would be permanent. HER $12,000 RETURNED On Order of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals—Common-Law Wife of Wealthy Southerner Memphis, Tenn.—The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the judgment of the late District Judge B. Aurelien K. of city, awarding to Mrs. Alice Keaton Danfort, aged mulatto, of Riceville, Ark., $11,755 from W. Morgan Garrott, executor of the estate of C. Danfort, wealthy farmer also of this city. Alice Keaton and Danfort, when in their teens, fell in love, but could not marry because Arkansas law forbids the union of "Negroes" and whites. However, they lived together as man and wife for 53 years, during which time they accumulated a fortune in land and personal property. At the time of Danfort's death, they held the estate of Rieville, deeded to her years before by him. She had forgotten she was owner of the farm. When executors of Danfort's estate suggested that she purchase the property, since she desired to retain possession of it, she agreed and paid them $12,000 for it. Later she found the deed conveying the farm to her among some of their old papers. She sought a refund of the debt. Danfort refused to recognize her claim. She then sued and won judgment. Judge Anderson held that she owned the farm at the time she purchased it from the executor. Judgment was for the entire amount except $45 paid as taxes on the farm by the executor. SCOTTSBORO CASES. Alabama Supreme Court Reverse Its Decision, Orders New Trials and Names Place for Them. Montgomery, Ala.—In compliance with the mandate of the U. S. Supreme Court, the State Supreme Court has reversed judgments of conviction in the cases of Clarence Norris and Heywood Patterson, two of the Scottsboro case defendants, and the Clarence Circuit Court with instructions to quash the original indictment and make such further orders as may be deemed proper to await new indictments by a grand jury in Jackson County where the crime they were convicted of is alleged to have been committed. The court's order further requires that in the event of a conviction, the court's subsequent trials shall be held in Morgan County and directs that the defendants be held in custody "until discharged by due course of law."

Although exposed to all the destructive forces of nature these lamps and lanterns are an excellent state of preservation because they are made from that age-old and rust-proof metal, copper, and one of its principal alloys, brass.

Bringing On More Talk AKES ME UP MORNING OR CHATTER HE KEeps IT ALL DAY WHAT DOES SHE TALK ABOUT? SHE WON'T TELL ME OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry G. 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 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 states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOB8 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 person held in the hands of this attorney. 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.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include 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 person assaulted with whiskey,ubs, mugs, or any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6222. 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 five thousand dollars damages 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 receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among him in lieu of 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 subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 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 such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for 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 county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (92 v. 162 8.) lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer 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 a lynching occur may recover costs against it in favor of the legal 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 6286. If the decedent so Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, 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 to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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 his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating 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 accommodations, advantages, utilities or privileges than they 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 less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars. The person 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. A. E.

Having Reference to ‘Jim - Crow” School “Negroes"—Bob Harlan on “The Inferiority Complex. Cincinnati, O.—In a letter to his long-time friend, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney ot “The Union” of this city, Robert J. Harlan of Wash- ington, D. C., recently wrote the fol- lowing which is self-explanatory: “Now the point I wish to make is in my experience the failure of mem- bers of the race to rise above the inferiority complex is due entirely to their willingness not only to accept discrimination but often to invite it by a subservient attitude of inferi- ority. “After Wilson was elected Presi- dent, but before he took office, a col- ored’ brother from the South induced me to take him over to see President Taft and request his appointment to a clerkship by executive order. Wait- ing in the large reception room for the appearance of the President, soon every chair was occupied, A large, distinguished looking gentleman came in, a typical appearing south- erner. ' Immediately the colored brother began to scramble to. his feet. “Where are you going,’ I in- quired. ‘I'm going to give that gentleman my seat.’ I pulled him back in his chair and gently said: ‘sit down, you damn fool, you are in the White House, not in Arkan- saw.’ It is proper to be polite and not aggressive unless your rights are abused but Negroes who doff their hats, scrape a foot and say, ‘Yas Sah,’ Yas, Sah’ belong way’ down South. “Therefore when I see a leader lke yourself, always ready to stand unafraid, demand his rights and con- demn weak-kneed brothers willing to thankfully accept leavings, I ap- plaud your action to‘the echo.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society Washington D.C. WWI Service THE word "ant" in Japanese consists of two complex characters. The first character means "insect"; the second, "unseifish, justice and courtesy." In other words an ant is "an unseifish, just, courteous insect." That is a delightful compliment, and many species may deserve it; but there are ants as savage and ruthless as the ancient Huns or Mongols—ants that devote their lives to foraging in vast armies, destroying the nests of others, and killing all insects and animals in their way. There are queen ants that enter a foreign colony, ingratiate themselves with the citizens, foully murder the true queen, and usurp her place. There are ants that raid the nests of their neighbors and kidnap their young as slaves. Some, high in the scale of ant civilization, make their own gardens and grow their own special food. There are ants that keep "cows"; others that gather and store honey in barrels made from living nest-mates; still others that use their young as spools of silken thread in making nests. In sheer numbers, too, the ants challenge imagination. Their legions outnumber those of every other land creature in the world, except possibly some minute forms of life. So far, some 8,000 species, subspecies, and varieties have been collected and painstakingly classified. Interesting Study. The immense amount of work devoted to studying ants in all regions of the world bears witness to their magnetic appeal to the interest of man. Thus there have been published monographs on the ants of Madagascar and of the New Caledonia; catalogues of the species which inhabit Brazil, Chile, Switzerland, Connecticut, and the peninsula of Baja California. One huge volume concerned with the ants of the Belgian Congo alone contains 1,130 pages. Even the ants that crawled on the earth three million years ago live again in the pages of voluminous books, because their bodies happened to be entombed and preserved in the following resin of prehistoric pines, now known to science as the "Baltic amber." The common little yellow house ant takes readily to life on shipboard, and so has traveled to all parts of the world. It takes kindly, also, to heated houses, and so, although a tropical ant, it thrives in northern countries and has become a pest everywhere. One of our lawn ants, Lastus niger, in its several varieties spreads itself throughout the entire northern hemisphere, where it damages the golf greens of Washington, D. C., as impartially as it does the temple gardens of Japan. It is one of the most abundant single species of insect. Some warm day, preferably after a shower, find a nice, flat stone on a sunny hillside and turn it over. There probably will be an ant nest beneath it—a series of channels leading from one cavity to another. Worker ants rush about, excited at the sudden uncovering of their home. One, very much larger than the others, is the queen, or there may be several of them if the colony is a large one. If there are males, they are present only during the mating season; they are usually much smaller than the rest, generally dark in color and wearing large wings. Piles of larvae and pupae, a few of them unusually big and destined to become females, will be whisked below out of sight while you are watching. If you look closely, you may see the eggs, little clusters of the white speckles adhering together. The "ant eggs" of commerce are not eggs at all, but pupae of the large red ant. The cocoons, from which adult ants soon would emerge, are gathered in large quantities in Europe and dried and exported, to be used as food for goldfish and captive soft-billed birds. At zoos a few of them are put in custard fed to the anteaters. In our nest under the stone there may be one or more reddish beetles stalking slowly about among the ants. These are guests or parasites. Often they have a strange hold upon the affections of their hosts. They beg liquid food regurgitated from the communal crop, or storage stomach, of the ants, which sometimes so neglect their own young to pamper these insidious spongers that the colony becomes debilitated and dies out. On the roots of plants in the passages there may be plant lice, or aphids and cocciids, the "cows" of the ants. As the weather gets warmer, the lice will be taken out and "pastured" on the roots of other plants, sometimes on Indian corn, where they do much damage Interesting Study. Females Protected. to the farmers' crops. In this case, ants are an accessory to the fact. It is the aphid that does the harm, but the damage is greatly exaggerated by the ants' tender care. By a stroking process similar to milking, the ants obtain from the plant lice a highly valued food substance, honey dew. This is the sweet sap of plants after it has been sucked out and passed through the bodies of the tiny insects, most of which take more than they can absorb. As this forms the chief food of many ants, they tend and protect their cows as conscientiously, as do any pastoral people. Sometimes they even build sheds of carton, a papery substance, on the trunks of trees to shelter them. At the approach of cold weather the ants sometimes gather them into their nests on plant roots, taking them out to pasture again when the danger of frost is over and their proper food plants are growing. One Point in Common. All ant colonies have one point in common. The members, excepting, of course, guests, parasites, and other intruders, are all children of a widow queen who has left the home nest on her nuptial flight. After mating high in the air, the male always dies, as he falls to earth far from the home nest and is helpless without workers to care for and feed him. The female, however, has marvelous resources within herself, and all alone she establishes a home and a family of her own. After fertilization the queen creeps into some cranny beneath bark or under a stone; sometimes she constructs a small shelter of crude paper made by chewing bark from a tree. Now she lays her first eggs. During the time when she was a larva and a newly hatched female in her home nest, she had been constantly cared for and even pampered by the workers of the parent colony. Special foods were given her. From now on there is no further use for wings, so she scrapes or bites them off. The wing muscles disintegrate and add to the stored-up food which she is able to feed her first babies by regurgitation. The first hatched are runts and weaklings, but ants, nevertheless. Their instinct is fully developed and they go to work collecting for their mother and for their new and constantly appearing sisters. An ant colony has been created. The queen, her troubles over, becomes a mere egg-laying machine, carefully fed and protected by her children. Although practically all ant colonies are founded by a lone female, there are some extraordinary exceptions. One is Carebara, an ant of Asia and North Africa, noted for being a great enemy of the "white ants," or termites, on which it feeds. Takes Help With Her. When the mother-to-be Carebara goes on her honeymoon, a number of the almost microscopic workers attach themselves to her legs by their jaws, and in this way are with her to be of help when she starts the new colony. Extraordinary and somewhat piratical methods of establishing colonies are followed by the females of some ants, usually species not physically capable of caring for their own first brood. One kind steals into the nest of a related species, hurriedly seizes and makes a pile of the pupa already there, and fiercely defends them from their rightful owners. When adult ants emerge from these pupae they are loyal to their kidnapper mother and, antlike, commence to care for her eggs and for the young hatched from them. This results in a mixed colony of two species. A few species of western ants of the genus Formica have very small females, thickly covered with soft yellow hair. Entering a colony of another, though closely related, species, they so ingratiate themselves with the workers that they are adopted and the rightful queen is murdered by her own progeny, who devote the rest of their lives to the new queen and her young. The original inhabitants eventually die, off leaving their native nest entirely in the possession of the usurper and her brood. In north Africa a fertile queen of the "decapitating ant" (Bothriomyrmex decapitans) will fly to a nest or Tapinoma, a much larger ant, and loiter around the entrance until Tapinoma workers seize her. They take her into the nest but for some reason do not eat her; whereupon she climbs onto the back of the rightful queen and saws at her neck until the head falls off. Then the Tapinoma workers adopt her and care for her eggs and young until the nest is populated only by the offspring of the regicide. More males and females are produced; queens fly away, find another nest of Tapinoma, and repeat the process. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 1. 1935. Shoppers Seek Personality Styles By CHERIE NICHOLAS ] years—colors that make blonds look anemic and ashen or tones and tints that cause brunettes to lose glamour—hats with impossible head sizes, too little for the unobbed, too big for shorn locks—well, what of it, why paint so crude, so unkind a picture? Merely by way of contrast, dear reader, for the new spring and summer fashions are a direct denial to everything we have said in the foregoing paragraph. What is actually happening is that our fashion experts have sensed the need of gently, firmly and subtly leading women in the direction they should go in the fine art of dress. Which is why we are hearing so much these days in regard to the outstanding importance of personality fashions. Among our modern fashion educators personality in dress ranks as a theme of major importance. Have you not noticed the signs of the times yourself? The courtesy and class-you-attendance manner with which you are ushered to this or that specialized department the moment you step foot in a fashion emporium? This is, indeed, a happy era which is dawning for shopkins in that dress-designers and coat and suit makers have become that personality-conscious they are making it their goal to create fashions that will tune perfectly to each and everybody's particular type. The modes here pictured are an outgrowth of this noble endeavor. They silence the lament of the middle-aged and matron who for years have been voicing complaint that they are not having a "fair deal" when it comes to clothes they "can wear," and that all the attention is concen- BEAUTY HINTS By CHERIE NICHOLAS The smartest women in this country as well as abroad are wearing vivid nail polish with lipstick to match. Reports from Paris and St. Mortiz say that the really chic women there are matching theirs in red and yellowish red shades. Trick effects such as metallic combinations and odd color schemes have disappeared. The most fashionable colors are coral, cardinal, ruby and the "natural" which is the lightest of the yellow reds. Most Parisian beauticians prefer to cover the entire nail with polish instead of outlining the moon and tip. Some fashionable New Yorkers follow this mode, while others prefer the trim look which white moons and tips achieve. The young woman pictured has that look of distinction which perfect grooming always gives. She appreciates the enhancement which artfully colored lips and fingertips add to a chic ensemble. Notice the costume jewelry set which she is wearing. It includes a clip on her stitched crepe hat with a duplicate clip at her throat and a bracelet to match. A "PLUMP, fair and forty" lady who is "d all dressed up" in a kittenish, flamper way—youth clad in fashions sophisticated beyond its demands of gentlewomen who have graduated into the alumnae of fashion's smart set. These stunning models for the up-to-the-moment-in-style matron were selected for our illustration from among a galaxy of fascinating styles as shown during a "personality fashions" revue which the Chicago wholesale market council presented at a midwest conference gala dinner. The fashion themes included clothes for the youthful matron, for matrons more advanced, for slender girlish ingenee types, for the larger young woman, for the outdoor and sports girl, for tall blond types and for medium-tall brunettes. The moral to this story on personality fashions is, if while on tour in the shops fashion-seeking you do not see what you want, ask for it. It's there tuned to your individuality, simply awaiting your call. Describing the trio of fashionable costumes for the matron as here pictured, the model to the left is a travel and street outfit especially designed for the youthful matron. It is tailored of a brown and white "broken-check" tweed in standard English cut. It may be worn equally well with dark or light accessories. The street ensemble to the right of navy and white print silk with check sheer redingote coat is designed along simple slenderizing lines. The sailor hat adds charm. Centered in the group is an ultra chic ensemble for the mature woman to wear to afternoon club functions or smart country club affairs. It is fashioned of a white sheer material with white and black stripe trimming. *Western Sewerpress Union* BUTTONS ON SUITS By CHERIE NICHOLAS On account of the importance of buttons this season many stores are devoting extra space to their display. The types of buttons in favor are legion. Novelty enters largely into the scheme of things. Very new and chic for the dressy blouse or frock are stars cut out of mother of pearl or set with tiny rhinestones. Clever, too, and exceedingly attractive are the new flower buttons made of an ivory-like composition and tinted realistically. The buttons which enhance the good-looking suit pictured are woven of green straw. The cloth which fashions this softly tailored two-piece has the smooth finish for which best designers are expressing preference. The coat front may be thrown open in a way to achieve big revers. Many of the smartest dresses and coats sport huge revers this season. trated on ingene type. Here they are right before your very eyes, fashions that couldn't possibly be more perfectly tuned to the needs and PRECEE SWIMMING suit in all-white Jersey.
