Miss Helen Lucas entertained at breakfast, Tuesday, in honor of Miss Jones—Mrs. Melvin Christian entertained Mrs. Nancy Jones and Mrs. Dora Johnson at dinner, Monday. While The Rounder stood in E Second St., last week Thursday afternoon, waiting impatiently for a Central Ave. car, two Scovill cars and two Cedar cars arrived and started back up-town. Those two lines are operated on about a twelve minute schedule, I understand. If this information is correct, then the Central Ave. cars are operated on about a twenty-four minute schedule. As a matter of fact, it's time is about 10:30 at the cars are opened upon—from 17 to 20 minutes. This is an outrage in the case of both the Central Ave. and the E. 30th St. lines both of which pass thru the heart of the 11th ward. The Central Ave. line passes thru much of the 17th ward and goes into the 18th ward. Councilmen Bundy of the 17th ward and Payne of the 11th ward are members of the City Council Transportation committee. Councilmen Bundy, Payne and Hubbard of the wards mentioned ought to be ashamed of themselves, because they are responsible for the miserable car service for the city situated by the lines mentioned. All three of them seem to have been so busy looking out for themselves during their terms in office that they have forgotten all else, and as a result ought NOT to be re-nominated nor re-elected, this fall. They've done practically nothing for their constituents. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING It is said that Councilman Bundy and a few close friends have established a private club in a residence in E. 63d St. that has been made cosy and nice to the last degree. The Rounder is going there one of these evenings to see it and hopes to be received in style—if such a place really exists. What do you know about it? City employees living in Ward 16 complained, Monday, that they had been ordered to contribute $10 each to the ward Republican club for the campaign funds of Councilman Harold L. Pesek and Mayor Harry L. Davis. Employees said they were told to bring their contributions to campaign headquarters, at Woodland Ave. and E. 79th St., or their names would be removed from the city pay roll. Many of the "Afro" job-holders in this ward Councilman Bundy sponsored and "placed" thru Perry Jackson, it is said. Last week Friday evening, there was a "called" meeting of city employees, mostly from the garbage plant, at the Western Reserve Republican club rooms, in E. 55th St., which was addressed by Mayor Harry L. Davis, Councilmen Bundy and Hubbard. Atty. Alex. Bernstein, Ward 12 Republican leader, predeed. Councilmen Finch and Payne, copassionately absent. In his speech, the Mayor said he would be elected if nominated, thus intimating that Harold H. Burton may beat him at the primary election. There are many who are thinking the same, these days. --- Unless Secretary of State George Myers hands down a special ruling, there will be no registration in Cleveland between Aug. 31 and the Nov. 5 election. That means that all voters not registered, must qualify before Aug. 31. If they want to vote in primary and in the shoot new law is responsible for this situation. There can be no registration within 28 days before an election. However, another law provides that there can be no registration within 10 days after an election. This wipes out registration between the Oct. 1 primary and the Nov. 5 election. So "step on it!" "Cleveland needs a mayor and a chief of police—not a Punch and July." With this declaration, Dr. F. W. Walz, former councilman, and a real friend of our people, last week served notice he is a candidate for mayor. Terming himself "the common people's champion," and that is no joke, either, he attacked "the political swash-buckler in the saddle" at city hall. He promised "sledge-like blows" against municipal rascality if elected, and no man has a better knowledge of this city's affairs or stronger courage of conviction. This would under KMOV's trust Friday, the Doctor became the first mayoralty candidate to file his petitions with the Board of Elections. They contained about 6,000 signatures. The same day, Herman P. McAllister filed for Council from the Twelfth Ward. He is an insurance agency manager and is backed by Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader in the ward. This is the ward represented in the Council by Herman Finkle. Assist. County Prosecutor Selby Minor (Dem.) to have entered the court and nounced several weeks ago. The ward vote is 85% "Afro" and of course strongly Republican. McAllister hasn't a chance. That doubtless is what caused Selby to "duck." NAACP "ELDERS." The Roosevelt Administration and Secretary Ickes of the U. S. Interior Department Scored Because of His Segregation Program. Washington, D. C.—Miss Gretchen McRae, 125 S St., N. W., this city has sent the following and a great deal more to our newspapers of the country: "To anyone who is at all familiar with conditions in the U. S. Interior Department, Secretary Harold L. Ickes' message to the twenty-sixth annual convention of the NAACP, recently held in St. Louis, reeks with erroneous and misleading statements, In fact, it might be used as a model document for deceit, trickery and betrayal. He brazenly tells that organization that he is 'delighted to be able to say there has never been a violation of the law when he knew well that his whole program was vigorously protected from all parts of the country at its very beginning because of its unprecedented discriminatory features. He ruthlessly continued this program over increasing protest, carrying his discriminatory practices into states having civil rights laws and where there is utterly no excuse for their introduction. Yet he claims that has never gotten away with it, is evidenced by the bold manner in which he placed sophistices before the NAACP convention. And well might he think so, considering the lack of effort on the part of the NAACP elders in the face of one of the decisive message, or in correcting the false defenses of the rights of colored people. Now if they were unaware that the message did not square with the facts, they should have known it. But some of them DID know it. Yet this message, misleading in every particular, was given wide publicity. How much longer will the Roosevelt Administration permit this man to maneuver it into an untenable, indefensible position before the electorate? How much longer will it take colored leaders to wake up to the fact that they are being deluded by his knavery, and held up to scorn before the masses by permitting Mr. Ickes to make WARDS AND PAWNS of them, when he himself wishes only to gratify his towering, insatiable ambitions? COUNCIL CANDIDATE. Legislator McClain Made Such by the Hamilton County Republican Organization—Other Candidates —Fighting Prejudice— Social and Personal, Cincinnati, O.—Dr. R. P.

Records of the state auditor's office in Columbus showed, last week, that Jess Owens, sprint star, received $159 between June 9 and July 31 as honorary page for the state House of Representatives. Owens was a regular page at a salary of $3 a day when the Legislature was in session. Shortly before the Assembly adjourned the House voted to make him an honorary page because of his athletic achievements. The Legislature adjourned, June 9, and since Jess has been working in a service station at E. 93d St. and Cedar Ave. Jess Owens, Cleveland's star athlete, has received $159 since June 9 for doing nothing, records of the state auditor's office shows, Owens earned $3 a day as a page for the House when the legislature was in session.

HER BEST FRIEND. A Friend of the Entire Family in Winter as Well as Summer— The Reirigerator! The refrigerator is the homemaker's best friend in summer. Like the electric fan, the electric refrigerator is now a necessity rather than a luxury and everyone may take advantage of this modern way of preserving food and of helping make housework a pleasure. Authorities recognize that food preservation is best obtained at 50 degrees and that the food is desirable "health line" and in addition keeps the milk and beer and other beverages at 44 degrees. An electric refrigerator is most economical when the housewife uses reasonable care in opening the door and in storing warm foods. Remember that any time you open a refrigerator door, warm air gets in and must be cooled. The same is true when you put food in right from the stove or from the covered dishes on the table, food cool while you are washing the dishes and by that time it will be at the right temperature to go in the refrigerator. Defrosting is an important item, too. Follow the directions of the manufacturer and remember that a blanket of frost on the cooling unit cuts off much of the cooling ability of the unit. Steam from warm dishes is responsible for much of the coating of frost. Be sure to keep the food odors and wash it just as you would a china dish, but do not use hot water as this will overheat the refrigerator. Use luke warm water with a bit of soda added. Additional Local The Rev. Harry V. Richardson, chaplain of Tuskegee Ala. Institute, a former resident of Cleveland, "delivered a stirring commencement address," last week, says the school's publicity department. Lewis Hamlet, an old resident, died suddenly, last week. He had been ill for some time, but his death was not expected. In addition to the widow, four daughters survive the deceased and have the sympathy of many friends. In an effort to revive the retrograding St. James A. M. E. church, Rev. David Ormond Walker, pastor, St. Joseph's school, offered a special program there, Sunday evening. Monday evening, a lecture illustrated by moving-pictures will be given at the church by Bishop Noah Williams of South Carolina. John R. Maxwell, who died recently had for years been an executive member of Antioch Baptist church and also an employee of the local Federal Reserve bank. The funeral services, last week Monday afternoon, were conducted by the pastor of the Horace and Wm. Thurston. In addition to the widow, two children, a sister and brother survive the deceased.

(Bell 'Phone: CHerry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 IN UNION AS STRONGER SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1935. Miss Gretchen McRae! "NAACP Elders" is good! Just a hint to our esteemed confrere of the Detroit Guardian and all others of the race who feel as he does: We will never get "the recognition that is due us" until we show that we deserve it and fight for it. Entirely too long have we waited for others to "give it to us," or help us get it. Bishop Noah Williams of the great A. M. E. Church uttered a well-known truth, recently, when he said, "God helps those who help themselves." That statement is just as applicable to the situation that confronts us, as far as "recognition" is concerned, as it is to the present Ethiopian situation to which Bishop Williams was directing his truism. IN THE BALANCE. Ask any business man, investor, property owner or thinking worker what is most needed to give the nation the confidence, the spirit and the optimism that will break depression. You might get the same answer from each: "Tax reduction, plus a determined policy that will balance the budget as soon as possible, and gradually reduce and eventually eliminate the vast national debt." Real, permanent and sound recovery cannot arrive so long as industry faces the prospect of confiscatory taxes that will seize whatever profits it is able to make. We cannot have a wave of home-building so long as our citizens realize that increasing taxes may soon make it impossible for them to keep their property. We cannot have re-employment of the jobless so long as investors are afraid to put their money into productive enterprises—because rising taxes imperil both principal and income. The national debt is approaching the $35,000,000,000 mark. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year are required to meet the interest. More hundreds of millions are required for sinking funds with which to pay off the bonds when they fall due. Long after the money has been spent, and the things it bought have disappeared, we and our children will be paying the bill. The Federal government has attempted to "spend us back to prosperity." In the view of many unbiased commentators we would have gone a long way farther toward recovery had spending been held down—in other words, the government's policy, in their belief, has hindered and not helped the nation. Yet more spending is in prospect—and more taxes. The people want tax reduction. Business wants tax reduction. Investors and workers want tax reduction. Unless it is achieved, the nation's economic future is in the balance. TIME TO ADJOURN. The leaders of both Houses of Congress are attempting to keep the session going until the full "must" program of President Roosevelt is enacted, including the tax bill. But among the rank and file of Congressmen the prospect of being held in Washington while a tax bill is being drafted, debated and acted upon has given rise to an incipient rebellion against presidential dictation. Congressmen favoring a soundly based, adequate tax bill to obtain revenue, instead of for political effect, know that such a measure would require weeks, indeed months, to be perfected if it is to be something more than a bill to steal the thunder of Huey Long. They realize, too, that there is no emergency which calls for breath-taking haste in voting taxes that will not be collected until next year and in any case will not make much of a dent in the deficit until expenditures are cut. There is no measure now awaiting enactment which bears the label of emergency except the Guffey Coal Bill. It is of doubtful constitutionality, few people believe it will aid in restoring the sick coal industry, and the only reason it is classed as an emergency measure is because organized labor has demanded it. For Congress to yield its doubts in the face of such pressure would savor strongly of moral weakness. Apart from the fact that the President's "must" program lacks the excuse of urgency, there are other important reasons for hastening adjournment. Congress, after being kicked about for months, is in no temper to legislate while hot days place an additional strain upon worm nerves. The country as well as Congress is in need of a rest from the bombardment of new proposals which have kept business in a state of unrest and prevented it from going ahead with re-employment. A breathing spell might not provide a guarantee against further experiments, but it would give Congress an opportunity to go home and learn the attitude of their constituents, and to come back and legislate sensibly in an atmosphere less charged with lightning. OUR FIFTY-THIRD YEAR With this issue, The Gazette enters upon its fifty-third year of continuous publication every week on time. This paper made its first appearance in August, 1883, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the responsibility for its publication has rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part; for The Gazette's accomplishments, many and varied, were and are vitally important to the race. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the effects of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio but those of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor, that lead to greater and better progress, is a matter of general knowledge throughout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, so insidiously by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for. ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! It's firm adherence to principle, thrill all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past fifty-two years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1935. 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 has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's 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: MOBS. 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. YOU KNOW ME, AL Accidents Will Happen By MING DARDINER SHOW THE BUCKER W. HAVE YOU GOT ANY LIFE INSURANCE RUGE?

(93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285.

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 institutional 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 be fined not less than fifty dollars and 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 to 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 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.

Captain Smith was a prominent Elk and quite popular. It is becoming clearer and clearer with each succeeding week that the foreign correspondence, sent American daily newspapers, with accounts of the progress of the Ethiopian Italo controversy, is being "colored" in the interest of Italy. For instance, the British, French and Italian representatives would undertake to get Ethiopia to sign a peace pact which would give Italy the control of Ethiopia, something Emperor Haile Selassie made perfectly clear, a week or ten days ago, he would never consent to. Still the aforementioned correspondents almost daily send that kind of "stuff" to the American newspapers. It is said that British correspondents, accompanied bycerned lost a prolonged struggle rouse all the native peoples of Africa to solidarity in sympathy if not in active support of Ethiopia in its struggle with Italy.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society Washington, D.C. WHI Service Washington, D. C.-WND Service FOUHIBAN, mandate of Cameroun, Africa, is astonishing. The city stands upon a hill and is surrounded by an elaborate system of ancient trench fortifications dating from the years of the Fulah raiders. The trees, which have been planted along every street, give it a wooded effect which absent among the neighboring grass meadows. One has an immediate impression of order, prosperity, civilization. Many of the houses of Fouban are of sun-dried brick and are roofed with native tiles or grass thatch. The compound fences are neatly constructed. The market, made of brick and tile, is modern in type and perfectly clean. At the center of the town is an imposing three-story structure set in the midst of elaborate gardens. It is the palace of Njyssu sultan of the Bamoum and overlord of Foumban. Everything—order, bricks, and garden—is indigenous. Foumban existed when the white man was no more than a myth. Even now outside influences have touched it only slightly. The sultan and the majority of his people are Mohammedana. In accordance with the curious rule that people of the African deserts and prairies readily adopted Mohammedanism, and that the people of the African forests almost invariably did not, the Bamoum scarcely recall a time when their life was not strongly influenced by the Arabic belief. In the center of the town, facing the sultan's palace, is the mosque, a frame building of strongly Moorish type, even to the vertical stripes of red and white paint. Here, every Friday, the elite of the Bamoum gather. Subchiefs Are a Proud Lot. The many nigl, or subchiefs, of the tribe, some of whom exert far more real power than the sultan himself, come in from their distribs, bringing with them a string of dependents. They make a striking picture. Nearly all aristocrats of the Cameroun plateau ride horseback and dress in immense flowing robes covered with bright embroidery. Some swathe their heads in white or blue turbans; others wear the characteristic floppy straw hat of the Fulah cattle herders. All have an air of faintly contemptuous majesty. They, the rulers, they fondly think, are the pure-blood conquerors from the North, and therefore the superiores of the indigenous peoples with whom they have merged. As a matter of fact, little trace of the Arab strain remains, certainly so far south as Foubam. The Banoum, except for unusual stature and the occasional appearance of an isolated straight-featured type, are distinctly negroid. The n'gi, when they come to town, are followed, according to their rank, by greater or less entourages. Several male members of his family usually accompany the n'gi, also mounted. The horses are richly caparisoned in red and green leather. The men carry elaborate spears, with shafts of hardwood and tips of silver or native bronze. Behind comes an inconspicuous rabble of wives, usually well-laden with produce for sale at the week-end market, and several depressed-looking burros, not quite as heavily laden as the women. While the ceremony at the mosque is in session the women and burros sit respectfully about outside. When the men come out, Foumanbai stirs with unaccustomed activity, an activity which continues until the country people stray away home late the following day. Markets Are Picturesque All sorts of produce are spread out in the market. There are leather boots, scabbards, and decorated harness; superb pieces of Bamoun embroidery; rolls of homespun cotton cloth; carved wooden household articles of every description. Hardly less picturesque is the food market. First of all, there are thousands of ears of fine Indian corn. It grows everywhere on the plateau. More special delicacies range all the way from roasted termites' eggs to crocodile steaks, things of considerably less interest to a white traveler. More than a thousand people attend the market. The sounds, sights, and smells of vigorous native trading give an impression of thriving, continuing African life such as one scarcely senses among the less developed forest types, particularly among the dreary, half-invalid creatures of the jungle of southern Cameroon. The favorable climate, the mixture of types, and, above all, the remoteness of the cor- ruptive influences of white civilization clearly show their effect. By Sunday morning the peasants have for the most part gone away, their produce sold or favorably exchanged. The aristocrats, however, remain. At the slightest provocation they will arrange a parade, a sham war, anything to vary the monotony of isolated tribal life. Even the presence of white strangers, for whom the rules of the plateau have great toleration but very scant respect, will serve for an excuse. One Sunday noon recently a traveler learned that word went forth that a "play" had been arranged. The eight whites then in Founban, only three of whom resided there permanently, sat with Sultan Njoya in chairs at one end of the town square. The riders, musicians, singers, standard-bearers, and buffoons made ready at the other. The "play," running true to the type of innumerable similar displays that take place in the larger towns of the high prairie, begin with an orderly procession of all the unmounted men. Drums, fires, horns of many kinds, and stringed instruments came in the first rank, playing warlike refrains. Before them danced, somersaulted, and grimaced several clowns, royal jesters attached to the sultan's court in much the same position held by the court jesters of medieval Europe. Standard-bearers and a rabble of singers brought up the rear. The end of the square reached, the marchers formed irregular lines at either side, and, spears and standards lifted, shouted greeting to the horsemen who followed. Charge of the Horsemen. The square of Foumban is narrow and a little more than 200 yards long. It was midafternoon of a golden tropical summer. The vividly green trees that skirted the plaza and the bright red earth peculiar to the Foumban district made a perfect setting. The horsemen numbered more than 100, and each was gowned in flowing robes embroidered in every imaginable bright color. All carried either spears or long flintlock rifles lifted menacingly above their heads. There was a great shout, and from the distance the spurred horses bore down upon the spectators at full gallop. The dust, the flashing spears, the wild cries, and the blazing colors made a thrilling sight. In another instant the small, helpless group of whites were cold with terror, for the charge neither turned nor abated. There was no time to move. When less than 6 feet away, each man shouted, stood up in his stirrups, and relied in. Every horse rose up on its hind legs, forefeet kicking, prouetted, and the line swept away at the right angle. The cruel Haussit, an iron circle that rings the horse's tongue and holds in its upper side a sharp prong that gouges the animal's flesh when the rein is pulled, had proved its effectiveness. Later in the afternoon, the "play" took the form of a series of weird traditional dances performed in masks. These masks, a line collection of which may be seen in the private museum of Sultan Njoya, are of copper or wood or a combination of the two materials. Many, though deliberately grotesque, show rare sculptural ability. Some are enormous, some ridiculously small; others have the shape of animals' heads—horses, baboons, crocodiles, etc. Sultan and His Museum. One of the most unusual things in Fouban is the museum of Sultan Njoja. But Njoja, a magnificent, G-foot, black chieftain, with the smile of a nice baby, is an unusual man. He is himself, for one thing, the inventor of one of the only two written alphabets known to have been produced in negro Africa—a phonetic alphabet which apparently has nothing in common with any other on the earth. The museum occupies a long room at the top of the palace. It contains a collection of carving, bronzes, spears, beadwork, brass jewelry, embroideries, and textiles for which the curator of any ethnological museum would give an arm. Njoya has gathered the things because he admires them and because he takes pride in every tradition of his people. In other words, civilization has not penetrated with its teaching that all things not manufactured in Europe are therefore contemptible. It must be added that the French government resident at Fouban, M. Quer, devotedly and charmingly upholds Njoya in his point of view. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. AUGUST 17. 1935. SUMMER LINGERIE STRESSES COMFORT New Undergarments Sure Bet to Keep You Cool. Summer lingerie, the cool wisp of material that are practically nothing at all, can be found in the glove silk collections. Not the usual glove silk fabric but thin, airy creations very appropriately called "illusion." The stuff is so thin it can't be photographed, so you will realize how grand and comfortable a few necessary underlayers can be. Shorts or scantiles are shorter and scantier than ever and how they do fit—not a chance of an unsightly wrinkle or bulge under your tightest dress. You'll find two-piece outfits vest and panties, or the all together of this illusion stuff, nicely trimmed with very narrow lace edgings or strictly tailored. Most of the new vests are shaped in front and cut with a low back, the pants are cut with the minimum of seams, and fit smoothly around the waistline. They are available in white, which means a lot to more than a few shoppers wearing all-white clothes and sheer cottones of white. Also in tea rose and some models in peach. This illusion stuff is all silk, laundered beautifully, and needs no pressing except for the lace edgings. ORCHID SILK NET By CHERIE NICHOLAS THE FASHION WEEK Here is an adorable mildsummer night party frock. Tiers of ruffles form the skirt of this charming gown which is made of orchid silk net. Anemones that shade from orchid to deep purple are grouped into a lovely corsage bouquet. This exquisite model is a new Malbocher creation, fresh from Paris. It couldn't be prettier if it tried.

By CHERIE NICHOLAS To look at the picture you wouldn't think that it is knitted, but it actually is. Which goes to show what wonders are being performed in machine-wrought fashions. There's nothing smarter than to wear modish knits, and the knitted vogue is growing more important each season, which it should since it excels both in comfort and swank. This versatile costume is knitted of nonluster, natural tan color linen with deep brown stripes, running horizontally for the waist and diagonally for the skirt. It is a dress useful for visits to town, for informal afternoon teas and for both spectator and active sports wear. Freedom of action for the latter purpose may be secured by opening the bottom buttons of the skirt. The fitted, rib-knit waistline melds and controls the skirt so that it does not hang straight from the shoulders. Natural wood buttons are used and the belt is of dull leather. A patch pocket appears at the left, below the tailored V-collar. STYLE NOTES Pretty Ears Rare Beauty Assets; Why Not Show 'Em Ears are out, taking in the sights.

Unlike other features, they are not affected by age, though it often happens that the first line wrinkles will appear in the flesh on the cheeks directly in front of them. That's why that particular territory should have its full consignment of massage cream every night with a few minutes of gentle stroking and tapping. Ears should be powdered neatly, the lobe carry a tiny touch of rouge. In The WEEK'S NEWS CURRENT EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE GAZETTE A THE GAZETTE SNAPSHOTS ARTIST Wm.
