The
ROUNDER
ON WHAT'S DOING
The vicinity of E. 87th St. and Cedar Ave. was the scene of a near riot Tuesday evening, when a number of our men seized a "grey" (white) and put a rope around his neck preparatory to giving him "a necktie party". The victim was charged with an attempt to assault on a nine old girl of the race. The flying-squads just got there in to save his bacon" and Cleveland landlord Robert L. a lynching. The "colored brother" here in Cleveland, from "down home", is sure "goin' some".
Sunday's Cleveland Plain Dealer announced that the "Green Pastures" Cemetery Association, had bargained to "purchase" 37 acres of land on W. 73rd St. to be used as a cemetery for the deceased. He thought of that? Sidney A. Eisenberg, a young attorney who represents the so-called "Cemetery Association" when called on the 'phone refused to divulge the names of the members of the association (if there are any) all of whom must be mighty "green" whites ("greys") who think they can make a little easy money starting a business. He thought there is absolutely no excuse for anything of the kind, and The Rounder told Eisenberg so. He also told him to tell the members of the alleged association to go south of The Mansion District. He thought the "cemetery for Negroes" idea or lose every dollar they put into such a foolish project here in Cleveland.
Doings of the Race
"Negro" professors and teachers in separate schools, South and North, are in a movement to promote "jim-crow" schools in the North.
The first "Negro" juryman selected in Memphis, Tenn., since the Reconstruction period, was excused from service, last week, in a case involving $22,000. His name is Erving W. Miller and he is a druggist.
The daily newspapers of the country are struggling hard to make it appear that the Afro-American population of our largest cities, in the North, are greatly "exercised" over the Abyssinian-Haitian controversy and consequent impending war.
The anti-semitic riot in Berlin, Germany, Monday, was a public assault upon the Jewish people which resulted in the more or less seriously wounding of quite a number of them, beaten and dragged in a public thorror known as Kurtgerstandern Blvd.
Bishop R. C. Ransom has issued a call for a meeting in St. Paul's Zion A.M.E. Cleveland, Ohio, August 21 to 23, of the Fraternal Council, an organization made up of representatives of all of our church denominations organized in Chicago in August, 1934.
The 62nd reg. U. S. (colored) Inf., fired the last shot in the Civil War at Brownville, Tex., May 15, 1865. That was the town in which "the black battalion" was stationed when he infiltrated the tableau for which President Theodore Roosevelt unjustly discharged them without honor from the U. S. army.
Helen Lee Worthington, on one time a leading member of Ziegfeld's Follies, who married Dr. Eugene C. Nelson, of Anglesea, was divorced from him, some months ago, has sued him for $11,125. They lived together, off and on, for several years.

New York City.-Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, another former cheerleader but big George Godwin, last week for Tampa, for a contest here Sept. 18.
ELECTRICITY
Has Grown to Be the Greatest Aid and Boone in the Home.
Electricity which lights our homes and saves our sight, is the greatest aid in the kitchen. An electric refrigerator preserves food perfectly—for many days. Left-over meats, fruits, or vegetables may be saved and made, days later, into new tasty dishes. No food need be wasted. It is easier to cleanliness, its automatic control of temperature without attention on your part, and because it reduces the number of shopping trips. The new convenience features of 1925 electric refrigerators make entertaining and the preparation of meals easier. Tasty dishes can be prepared in advance, then preserved perfectly until it's time to serve. Food authorities estimate that savings of $75 a year or more in food costs may be made with an electric refrigerator. When an electric roaster moves into the kitchen, sweltering heat moves out and the same thing is true of the many other electric appliances, which range from coffee pots and toasters to dishwashers and stoves. The modern housewife lets electricity do her work.
THREE WEST POINT CADETS.
All From Chicago and Appointed By Our Gongressmen, Oscar DePriest and Arthur Mitchell—Union Labor "Jim-crow".
Washington, D. C.—Representative Arthur W. Mitchell (Dem.), Illinois, our only member of Congress has just appointed Emory Joseph Jordan, of Chicago, to the West Point U. S. Military academy and named Lawrence Oliver Clark and Carly Carr of the same city as alternates. Our only cadet at West Point is Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr., former resident of Cleveland, O., and a son of Col. B. O. Davis, our only officer on active duty in the U. S. army. Young Davis, appointed from the same Illinois No. 19 in his class, stands graduated, next June. Another boy of the race, Felix K. Kirkpatrick, Jr., also of Chicago, will enter West Point this fall, with this year's incoming class. He was appointed by former Congressman DePriest (Repub.) who was succeeded by Mitchell.
Union Labor "Jim-Crow"
A parade of witnesses familiar with our labor problems appeared before a special committee of the American Federation of Labor here, last week, which was holding hearings on discrimination against our workers by A. F. of L. unions. Restrictions against them were scored by Atty. B. C. of L. representing the NAACP; Reginald A. representing the National Urban League; John P. Davis, of the Joint Committee on National Recovery; A. Philip Randolph, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and others.

Wants a Bout With Joe Lewis
**Wants a Bout With Joe Lewis.**
Philadelphia, Pa. — Leroy Haynes, "Attack of Los Angeles" against Focked Tony Cancello (Italian) tagged Focked butler, into a technical knockout in three rounds at the Arena, July 15. The referee stopped the battle at two minutes, 33 seconds of the third round, as Haynes was setting himself to deliver the finishing punch.
**Peccock and Johnson Go to France**
Eulace Peccock of Temple University, has been chosen as one of the American athletes to go abroad this summer, to compete against foreign track stars. Peccock is in the squad that is touring France. Last year, he was a member of the U. S. Cornelius Johnson of Compton Jr. College, who went to France last year, is also on the squad, this summer. The team left, July 10, on the Normandie.
Didn't Get the Refrigerator!
Jesse Owens learned on his recent return to the city, that a benefit ballgame was given, July 7, for the purpose of purchasing an electric refrigerator to present to his parents. He said, Wednesday, that they have been in the refrigerator as announced in a local app several weeks ago. It is now announced that Jess and members of his family will be guests at a double header at League Park, Sunday, when the Pittsburgh Crawford and the Chicago American Giants meet in a twin bill. Wonder if this is another "bill."
Lewis To Box Feldman.
New York City, — John Henry Lewis of Arizona, who is regarded by boxing experts as the logical contender for the light heavy-weight championship, has been signed to the U.S. national team for "east side", in a ten-round bout at Coney Island Velodrome, July 23. On Aug. 5, he will meet Natie Brown, who put up a good fight against Joe Louis in Detroit, even if he was knocked out. The new crown has fought Braddock, out of the boxing crown, twice.

AND THUS PLAY RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF PREJUDICED WHITES, THEIR ENEMIES.
"Negro" Aviator, Hubert Julian, Now in Abyssinia, Said to Be Creating a Bad Impression—Not His First Trip to Addis Ababa—Little Known Facts.
BY WILSON JAMES (for ANP)
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—I arrived here, last Wednesday, and found conditions much different from what I expected they would be when I left the United States, early in May. In May, I met the pastor, and others, one hundred per person. I can readily see that to succeed here an Afro-American must possess the following qualifications: first, a strong stomach; second, a silent tongue; third, a kind heart; fourth, an iron hand; fifth, the patience of Job, and sixth, above all, he must know his work. The white influence of Job, and the new chicness of White, have poisoned the minds of the Ethiopians against Afro-Americans. Most Afro-Americans who have come here have given support to the charges of the white enemy. For example, Hubert Julian (American "Negro" aviator) is here. He owes different people nearly $500, including hotel bills, money borrowed, board, hauled, and other expenses. He beats his servants and struts the stairs bragging about the 60 airplanes he owns and his $60,000 bank account, back in America.
The first fight, Lewis won by a wide margin. The second clock was given an unpopular decision.
Joe Louis, Detroit's heavyweight sensation, who was an amateur himself a year ago, will referee one of the featured bouts on the Press Parade of Champions card at League Park, next Tuesday night. Mike Jacobs, matchmaker for the Twentieth Century Club, a keyman in the situation, will accompany Louis here. Jesse Levels, Golden Gloves flyweight champion, will attempt to prove that John Marcelline's victory over him in the national A. A. U. tournament at St. Louis was a fluke. Most of the ringersided thought Jesse had beaten the Philadelphia boy.

anger you for fear you will not pay them anything. These matters do not come to the attention of the government because this class fears to complain to his Majesty, but they become a basis for grievances against the Afro-American. All the commercial business in Addis Ababa is run by the government, other races from India; Turks, Egyptians and other races. There are more Greeks than any other whites.—Philadelphia Tribune
Little Known Facts On the Ethiopian-

New York City.—A new edition of the sensational "The American Diplomatic Game" by Drew Pearson and Constantine Brown, contains a supplementary chapter entitled "Mussolini Moves To Abyssinia" in which
Emperor Haile Selassie.
several little-known facts about the current Italian-Ethiopian trouble are revealed. The authors charge that the attack of the Italians on the Ethiopians, last November at Walwal, border, according even to Italian maps, was "deliberately calculated", and that all of the noted peace advocates at Geneva "lifted neither voice nor finger in defense of the one reining the military government Africa" "Even Maxim Ivory Russian foreign minister), who every year had piqued his Geneva colleagues by demanding complete and unequivocal disarmament, turned his back on Abyssinia". They also tell how the Italians and the British, heaven and earth to keep Ethiopia and the degree of foes to conceal their plans to divide up the country.
History of Abyssinia (Ethiopia).
Abyssinia is one of the oldest but least known nations of the world.
The ancestors of the present Abyssinians were living within the boundaries of the present country 5,000 years before the Christian era. The Abyssinian people are of Hamitic origin, and today from 85 to 90 per cent of the 8,000,000 people in the country are Hamitic. The Hamitic people include the north and northeast Africa. It is distinguishable from the "Negro" race, which inhabits the greater part of Africa, by its comparatively European type of face. The skin of the Hamitic peoples may range all the way from fair to a blackness as dark as the skin of the "Negro." Dale Cox in Cleveland Plain Dealer. appear in court, July 25, to testify regarding Roxborough's share of his earnings. With the summons was $2.17 in witness fees. Joe took the summons and the $2.71.
"Don't take it," yelled Roxborough, grasping the situation. "Throw it on the ground."
"No sir," objected Joe, "That's the law—and also, this is my $2.71."
Risko Asks A Bout With Louis.
Johnny Risko, promising local heavyweight, until big George Godfrey definitely put him out of the fight-business by almost whipping off the soles of "rubber" Johnnie's shoes, several years ago, making him an "in and out," mostly an "outer" ever since, is asking for a bout with Joe Louis, late this month. It will hardly be given him as the Louis-Levinsky fight is booked for Aug. 7 in Chicago. Risko and his manager, little Danny Dunn, are doubtless after little publicity and money in making him a champion, but hardly get granted. However, if it is Joe Louis will finish the Godfrey job of ridding Johnnie of the soles of his shoes.

IN-UNION
IS STRENGTH
Prof. Kelly Miller of Washington, D. C., has joined Prof. "Alphabetical" DuBois in the foolish and very harmful effort to encourage our people to accept segregation, especially "jim crow" schools. They are, therefore, far more harmful than the enemies without the race.

A contemporary calls attention to the fact that the U. S. Navy enlists "Negroes" only as servants. Wonder if our confrese is aware of the fact that many of our regularly enlisted soldiers, members of our four noted U. S. army regiments, are detailed to such work for officers of other regiments in the army? Our advise to "Negroes" is to stay out of the army until such a time as our government will treat them as American soldier-citizens and not as servants or

In a communication, under date July 2, '35, an old friend of the editor of The Gazette, signing his letter "F. J.", wrote that he was "coming back to Cleveland after 35 years" and wanted "to meet the old gang". He said in the letter that "Billy Carroll, Sadie Cisco (Bolden) and Dave Manson of Chicago (old Clevelanders) send best regards" and that he would leave for Cleveland "after July 15". We can't imagine who it could be but of course will be glad to see him. "The old gang" is about all gone—out of the city, if not out of the world.

Write your member of congress and U. S. senators to vote against Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell's "jim-crow" federal commission bill which he introduced, several weeks ago, doubtless on the suggestion of southern Democratic colleagues. "Jim-crow Negroes" of the country are rallying to the support of the bill. As if we already have not sufficient Booker T. Washington "separate-as-the-fingers-of-the-hand" segregation. You will recall that many years ago, in his notorious Atlanta, Ga., speech, Booker T. Washington said "the colored and white people could live in this country separate as the fingers of the hand". That was the day that SEGREGATION, as we know it today, was born.
NO LAUSCHE FOR US!
Atty. Moses H. Dixon had a civil rights case which was tried in Judge E. J. Lausche's court, May 28, 1935. It was for a clear violation of our Ohio Civil Rights law by an employee for whose actions, while on duty in his place of business, the proprietor is legally responsible. Judge Lausche found the employee guilty, all right, but gave him a "suspended sentence" something the law does not provide for: The Gazette does not know whether Atty. Dixon did so or not, but it does know that Dixon should have appealed the case because the sentence did not "square" with the law. Somebody should tell the editor of The Cleveland daily Press that there are 75,000 of our people in Cleveland who could not possibly vote for Judge Lausche for mayor in the face of his "suspended sentence" in the Edward Perry vs. The Broadway Tavern case.
PERRY WRONG AGAIN!
As The Gazette anticipated, Perry B. Jackson entered suit under our Ohio Civil Rights law against Theodore DeWitt, receiver of the Hollenden Hotel, for refusal of service in its main dining room, June 17, when he went there to attend a committee meeting of The Cleveland Bar Association of which he is a member. Judge Skeel, in whose court the case was tried, gave Perry judgment for $250 (damage) which was fair and creditable. In a letter to The Gazette, Perry says he is "urging our people to request groups with whom they may be identified to meet elsewhere than at the Hollenden Hotel." The Gazette urges all to go to that hotel whenever they see fit to do so and if not served properly, do just what Perry has done—enter suit against Theodore DeWitt, receiver, and make
him pay until he sees fit to comply with the law. That is the manly, womanly and proper thing to do.
ASKS FOR MORE "JIM-CROW".
Recently, N. B. Allen, executive secretary of the Columbus Urban League, tried to start a movement to secure the establishment of "jim-crow" camps for Afro-American transients, in Ohio when there are several camps already established. What he should have done, as we said at the time, was to organize to secure the admission of our transients into the camps already established, if they were not admitted. C. C. Stillman state relief administrator, Pure Oil building, Columbus, O, is the government representative of this movement for the state. Allen and his assistant, R. L. Tucker, chairman of the anti-race relations department of the league, surely must be newcomers to Ohio or they would never have asked for "jim-crow" camps without making an effort to get their citizen's rights in the camps already established by the state relief administrator. Ohio law is against such discrimination as Allen and Tucker were seeking.
PERRY-CHARLIE-JELIFFE
When Perry Jackson, assistant police prosecutor, and Charlie White, assistant city law director, sided with Mayor Harry L. Davis's Police Prosecutor (Picciano) and his co-censors, to permit Director Russell W. Jelife of the neighborhood association (E 38th St. Playhouse) to continue presenting "Stevedore" the rotten, profane and blasphemous play Jelife staged at the Karamu Theater in the face of the protests of our local ministers' associations and our press, they created an issue which is going to cut a wide figure in this fall's mayoral campaign. Even the Cleveland postoffice refused to permit the use of the mails to the "Stevedore's vile language. Our loyal local ministers sharpened their axes in March for Perry and Charlie's boss, the mayor of the city of Cleveland and will soon forget their part in the matter, either.
Unlike Director Russell Jeliffe's Karamu Theater, the Atlanta, Georgia, University summer theater is closing its current season with "Bird-In-The-Hand, a comedy of present day England which takes its name from the country-inn in which its action occurs." Jeliffe, with the Gilpin (colored) players, features "nigger" plays in the Karamu theater, which as a rule are so derisive and harmful as to be "a pain and headache" to those of the race unfortunate enough to witness them.
NAACP FAILURES.
The Gazette can not understand why the legal defense committee of the local NAACP branch does not carry into court a civil rights case against Euclid Beach park because of its barring our public-school children and others of the race from its skating rink and dance hall. Does the organization intend to ignore this matter like it has the case of Gabriel Farkas, the street-car motorman who about a year ago shot a boy of the race because he was stealing a ride on his car; and that Sheriff Johnny Sulzmann segregation of "Negro" prisoners in the county jail? How about it, Miss Pearl Mellchell, president, and Chester Gillespie, chairman of the legal defense committee of the NAACP local branch? Resolutions only will not do! Our people of the community want ACTION and are entitled to it for the goodly sum of money they have put into the organization since its introduction in Cleveland, years ago.
Along about the middle of May, A. Y. Clark, president of the company that has a chain of restaurants in this city, had posted in the waitresses' dressing-room of each of his places of business the following circular-notice: "All customers are to be served alike, given the same service regardless of color, race or nationality" and that it had always been their policy to give such service.
The introduction of this circular notice in the Grace Caver-Clark restaurant case of a few weeks ago caused Attr, Chester Gillespie to lose it, he writes The Gazette. Also that he feels the court erred in admitting the circular-notice in evidence. As chairman of the Legal Defense committee of the local NAACP, Chester should have put it up to that organization to carry the Grace Caver-Clark restaurant case to the Court of Appeals, if Grace Caver had not the money to do so, as he writes The Gazette. We cannot understand why this was not done. The case would surely have been won, if carried up, because the circular-notice, or its posting, did not change the Caver testimony in the case, or the law applicable to it. This Attr, Gillespie must know. If Grace Caver had sufficient proof of her mistreatment and consequent humiliation in that Clark restaurant, the case should by all means have been carried to the higher court and WON!
Mississippi Torture Case.
Jackson, Miss.—The case of Ed Brown, Yank Ellington, and Henry Shields, three Kemper County farm hands who were tortured and beaten into confession, is the case of aunt Fessie (white), is ready to file in the U. S. supreme court.

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 C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court 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. Limitation 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.

Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. All such persons by a 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 such injury as properly applicable to disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, misbehavior, or other acts, shall 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.

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 facilities or privileges thereof, shall first have 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 new preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, and son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent juris diction 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 in 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 CLEAN SYSTEM FOR HEALTH
Good health cannot be had without regular bowel activity. When your bowels miss acting for a day or two, parts of food which cannot be digested stop in the large intestine. There they sour, release poisoning gases, and a dangerous condition (called "Constipation") is set up. Drive out the poisons of constipation by taking Theford's Black-Draught, and enjoy that good feeling of relief which so many people tell about after they have taken Black-Draught. It acts promptly and thoroughly. It tends to leave the bowels in condition so they will continue to act naturally.

CLEVELAND RA
To Blast Table Rock at Niagara Falls
TABLE ROCK, world famous observation point from which millions of tourists have gazed into the boiling cauldron below the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara is to be demolished by explosives.
The two great international holidays, July 1, Canada's Confederation Day and July 4, have been set as the dates when the tremendous mass of rock which has been condemned, will be sent hurtling into the river below the Falls. Fourteen thousand pounds of explosives will be used to shatter the 5,500 tons of rock. Engineers of the Niagara Parks Commission of the Ontario Government will have charge of the work. The drawings show Table Rock as it is today. In the upper drawing, the condemned portion is shown fenced off. The lower drawing shows the rock as it appears from below. For more than a century Table Rock has been famed as an observation platform and a pavilion where visitors registered in a great album that contains many famous names. But the slides, caused by erosion have finally made it so dangerous that its removal is necessary. The latest was last year when 200,000 tons of rock suddenly crashed into the river. 185 feet below.

NIGHT PHONE RATE EFFECTIVE EARLIER
NIGHT PHONE RATE EFFECTIVE EARLIER
Out-of-town Calls Cheaper After 7 P. M. Under New Schedule
Night rates for long distance telephone calls now are effective at 7:00 p. m. instead of at 8:30 p. m.
Application of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company and other Ohio telephone companies for the time change was approved by the Ohio Public Utilities Commission on May 28 and made effective June 1. The new time applies in every town in Ohio and also in communities throughout the country.
The change means that Ohioans may take advantage of the lower night rates, which average about 40 per cent less than day rates, an hour and a half earlier.
Night lights apply only to calls made by number. Person-to-person calls, on which the calling party asks for a specific person, remain unchanged.

Something Wrong!
There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. Our former we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

Speed of, Telephone Repairs Increases
If your telephone goes on the "frizz,"
the chances are 20 to one that it will
be repaired the same day you report
the trouble.
This is revealed by a study of repair
records of The Ohio Bell Telephone
Company. The company's statistics
show that last year it cleared 94.87
per cent of the cases of trouble on
the day they were reported.
Since 1928, the company has raised
its one-day repair percentage from
76.77 to the 1934 figure.

Lure of Washington
Junior Yachtsmen at Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Prepared by the National Geographic Society. and forms an exhibit highly attractiv
President Donald J. Trump, D. G. National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. Welcome Service RECENTLY a jury in Washington, D. C., had to be quartered in a room in a hotel because of the infux of visitors to the nation's capital. The spring lure of the city brings thousands of travelers who swell the ranks of the normal transient population. Washington always has been a popular convention city. Indeed, conventions here never cease. This or that national group seems always in session. The year around one sees crowds of men and women wearing badges, carrying banners, following bands, touring the city in big busses which flaunt streamers telling who the pilgrims are and where they came from.
In vacation time school children by the hundreds of thousands flock here from all over the Union, remindful of that children's crusade of ancient days. They crowd the city's more than 70 hotels, its 600 eating places, and miles of rooming houses. Some visitors bring tents or come by automobile and roost on the commons beside the Potomac, known as the Tourist Camp grounds. More than 500 national associations have offices here, representing every interest, from the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and the American Federation of Labor to the Canners and Dyers and Cleaners. For lack of garage space, it is estimated that 50,000 cars park in the streets all night, every night. Today private cars crowd the curb like pigs fighting for nose room in a trough. From every direction paved roads radiate into Washington and streams of traffic flow in from dawn to dusk.
But huge motor travel is nothing compared with the crowds that come by rail. All counted, at least five million visitors a year see the capital. And 10,950,000 travelers use the Union station annually, more than three times as many as all the whites in the United States when the city was laid out.
National Museum Is Immense.
Nobody has seen everything in the national museum. Nobody could. There is too much. To see its 13,000,000 different specimens—at the rate of one thing a minute, working eight hours a day—would take more than 74 years! This museum preserves all collections of objects in science, history, industry, and art belonging to our government. It is the storehouse for specimens that range in size from the tiniest of shells and insects to airplanes, automobiles, and huge skeletons of fossil animals. The whole has been valued at more than $120,000,000. Because of its host of old objects that are the only ones of their kind in existence, the collection could not be duplicated at any price.
Because nobody could see all, only some of the most interesting things are set out for public exhibition. These include fine examples of different kinds of animals, well-known historical objects, pictures, weapons, inventions, vehicles, and series of specimens of various kinds that have interest and attraction. Properly arranged and labeled, each tells its own story. This exhibit is so organized that visitors in simply walking through the halls may gain a concrete impression of endless subjects foreign to everyday life. Nearly two million persons each year visit the halls.
Natural History Exhibits.
In the Natural History hall, the groups of large animals collected by the Roosevelt African expedition are the most popular exhibit. Lions, water buffalo, zebras, and others, arranged in lifelike manner, with the vegetation of their native haunts as background, show the types of mammals met on that histologic hunt. Thousands of other specimens, large and small, from this same expedition repose in moth-proof storage cabinets in the museum laboratories, where they are the basis of scientific research.
In the fossil hallis is the skeleton of a huge dinosaur, an extinct reptile of the Cretaceous period, a specimen 52 feet long, and so arranged that visitors may walk beneath it, and so gain a clearer idea of its vast size. Such skeletons are found embedded in stone, so that the bones need to be chiselled out carefully by hand. With this great beast appear many other fossils of bizarre and unusual type. Footprints fossilized in stone and many millions of years old give indication of life and movement by creatures otherwise known only from bones.
One hall shows only minerals. Here is the original nugget that started the gold rush to California in 1849, a bit of metal smaller than one's fingernail, but one of great historic importance.
A great collection of coins and medals begun by the Treasury department is deposited in the National museum
and forms an exhibit highly attractive to the numismist. A fine collection of postage stamps is arranged in specially designed cabinets.
One hall in the Arts and Industries building shows man's use of power, from its primitive beginnings. Here are engines that the visitor may operate electrically by pressing a button, and so examine the operation of the driving mechanism of an auto and other machines. Textiles and their manufacture form an absorbing show.
Historical Relics and Art.
And one sees, too, the original Star-Spangled Banner, historical relics of Washington, Lincoln, and many other great Americans, a collection of swords, one of firearms, of woods, musical instruments, timepieces, typewriters, and curiosities so varied that any visitor is sure to find somewhere some thing to hold his interest.
In the Natural History building is the neucleus of a national gallery of art, for which a separate building is planned. It includes rare paintings by old masters, as well as many of recognized merit by modern artists; sculptures, miniatures, ceramics, metal work, and carved ivories. This collection has been valued at ten million dollars.
No wonder thousands of people a day flock here! Yet they see so little—of the whole. The bulk is guarded in laboratories. In constant use for scientific studies, there flows from here a steady stream of new facts, and ideas of scientific interest, most of which ultimately have definite application to the welfare of man.
Many forces make Washington a cultural center of the nation. They flow from the government itself, concerned as it is with broad cultural problems and developing within its departments educational resources of great value; from the many scientific, industrial, and other associations located here; from the work of the diplomatic missions, and from five great universities. Foreseeing all this, congress early provided "that the facilities for research and illustration in any governmental collections now existing or hereafter to be established in the city of Washington for the promotion of knowledge shall be accessible . . . to the scientific investigators and to students of any institution of higher education now incorporated . . . under the laws of congress."
Among the world's great storehouses of knowledge is the Library of Congress. It has nearly five million books and pamphlets, accumulated from the ends of the earth, including nearly every book printed in America and the most prized of foreign publications. The most complete collection of Russian and Chinese literature is preserved here.
Other libraries have become preeminent in special subjects, such as those of the State department, the patient office, the army medical museum, the bureau of standards, the geological survey, etc.
There are more than 200 libraries in Washington, where students are always welcome.
Center for Education.
American education finds a focal point in the Interior department. Its office of education gathers data from all parts of the nation. Through experiment and experience, it converts its information into aid and advice given back to state, county, and municipal school officers.
Think what it means to students to have access to the researches of the American Council of Education, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research council, the National Education association, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, the National Geographic society, the Carnegie institution of Washington, the Carnegie Institution for the Advancement of Peace, and many others.
On the staffs of the embassies and legations are trained and obliging diplomats, not only learned in the political and economic backgrounds of their own countries, but reflecting the social and artistic cultures of the nations which they represent.
Of art galleries besides the National, there is the Corcoran, exhibiting the work of prominent American artists and sculptors. It also houses the famous Clark collection of old masters and other items of European art. The Freer gallery also illustrates this combination, with works of James McNeill Whistler and oriental sculptures, paintings, bronzes, and jades. There are also in Washington private galleries open to students of the arts. In such an atmosphere it is natural that seats of higher learning should develop. Five universities now give to Washington the largest proportionate student population of any city in the country.

cal of smartest midsummer trends.
THE forthstanding note in summer fashions is the increased interest in femininity. Wherefore the glory of diaphanous materials of rapturous loveliness once more, as in the picturesque days of old, hold swain in the realm of pretty summery apparel. Everywhere dotted swisses, embroidered or plain crandles and nets, chiffons and dainty sheers of multi-colors flatter the summer landscape. The call for white is insistent in these weaves of elusive ethereal beauty with new and delectable colors putting forth rival claims.
First and foremost among the new sheers is mousselle de sole. The important message about these voguish mousselles is that modern science has succeeded in producing a washable type—comes from a tubbling as fresh and lovely as ever was. Every woman who heretofore lamented the fact of the un-washability of the exquisite mousselles which are so dear to her heart will rejoice at the good tidings that there is a new mousselle de sole which actually can be laundered.
And here's some more good news—a moussellie de soie which is shadow-patterned in self-color. You'll love it! Makes up adorably over a taffeta foundation. Comes in white or pastels, with first honors going, however, to white, since white keynotes to summer chic. For that "one more" party frock to add to your summer collection, why not choose plain or shadow-patterned moussellie de soie? The lovely, white frothy, filmy, vaporous frocks in the picture are typi-
FROG FASTENINGS
USED EXTENSIVELY
Frogs have hopped into the middle of the fashion swim this season.
Frog fastenings are used on everything from evening gowns to summer suits, and lend an opportunity for original color contrasts and a new casual air for more or less formal costumes.
Time was when the field of the frog fastening was limited to pajamas, but that time is no more.
You'll be seeing them on the newest shirtwalst frocks this season, on suits of wool and linen, on blouses and summer coats, on beach frocks and evening gowns.
Schlaparelli uses gold frog fastenings down the front of a green dinner gown, in a manner both decorative and military.
Evening gowns often employ one huge frog fastening at the neckline, and lightweight woolen coats for summer are shown with frogs all the way down the front.
London Fashions of 1910
Influencing U. S. Styles
Fashions of 1910, arriving via London and the silver jubilee, are influencing the styles of 1935 in the United States.
Flowers, feathers, silk ribbons, laces, lingerie touches, are being worn in the 1910 manner. The vogue for outdoor dining has transformed the afternoon dress and garden party frock of 1910 into the daylight dining ensemble of 1935.
Cartwheel hats, reminiscent of "Merry Widow" days, accompany dainty printed silk suits, with the most feminine of blouses. Black silk tafeta slips rustle under cream-colored day lace time dresses and dinner gowns. Accordion pleated silks in the manner of Fortune make hostess gowns to be worn against tufted sofas and modern Victorian interiors.
cal of smartest midsummer trends. At the top to the left a cape and a ruche of crisp white net, which is really more of a tulle than a net, with two wax-white camelias, lend enchantment to a gown of the same tulle posed over white moire. A cluster of camelias snuggle in among the tulle flouces of the skirt.
The young girl seated below is wearing a darling ingene gown. For this dainty frock Chanel uses yards and yards of ruffles edged with fine val lace on the cape and skirt of white mousselline de sole.
The pretty creature sitting opposite is gowned in finest of cotton net. The bodice top is modishly shredded. The bolero of matching net ties with a big casual bow at the throat. The voluminous skirt is the very picture of grace, walking, dancing or sitting down. There is a belt trimmed with gold kid leaves with garland to match in her hair.
Speaking of embroidered net, for a party frock which goes formal, who could think of anything more entrenching than the ensemble worn by the charming girl standing to the right in the group! Dots embroidered in delicate bonbon colors, pink blue and yellow, look confetti-like on their sheer white background. Pink satin ribbons tie the throat and the waist. In the graceful matching wrap with full cap sleeves, Malbuchoer revives the "fasciator fashion" which is making a big hit with debutantes this season. The dainty tulle hood frames the face with an anureole of crisp little ruffles. It can be thrown back off the head with perfect ease. © Western Newspaper Union.
THE FASHION WEEKLY
Quaint, old timey frocks are new fashion for garden party wear. This one is of white mousselline de soie (a favorite fabric this summer). It is piped with mulberry. The broad-brimmed violet colored bally bunt hat is flowered in violet shades matching the corsage bouquet. It is a very pretty custom which has been revived—that of wearing flowers to match the posies on one's hat. Imagine a soft white straw encircled with a wreath of real African daisies with a necklace of the same daisies about your neck mounted on a velvet ribbon or a stiff old-fashioned bouquet posed at the front of a navy straw sailor, with a matching boutonniere in your buttonhole. And here is the real thrill to this story—the very fashionable set is wearing real flowers in this way, fresh plucked from the garden or the florist shop.
