ITALIAN HOSPITAL SHIP!
Carried Embalmed Bodies of 78 Off

cers
Suez.—Great secrecy was maintained concerning the passage of the Italian hospital ship, Toscana, from Massawea through the Suez canal, Sunday week. The ship had all lights extinguished when it reached the steamship agents, was allowed to go on board. It was reported, however, from usually reliable sources, that the boat was carrying 1,100 sick and wounded and the embalmed bodies of 76 officers killed in action. It is estimated that 14 Italian steamships and 12 Italian troops on their way back to Italian soil passed thru the Suez canal the last five days of November.
The
ROUNDER
The reappointment of Wilmer C. Boyden as superintendent of the garbage plant was secured for him by Atty. Alex Bernstein, Republican leader of the 12th ward. The local "Negro" councilmen and Maurice Maschke had nothing to do with securing him the reappointment. He made this clear when he notified employees at the plant that their councilmen couldn't do anything for them if they failed to do their work properly.
Gordon H. Simpson is one of five Clevelanders who are going to Washington, D. C. to attend the four months' school, of the national association of housing officials, to be trained in the operation of federal "slum clearance" housing here. He will in all probability be located in the Outwahte area when the buildings are completed. He will be the intelligent members of the race that should not be overlooked. Prompt action is necessary.
After police Judge Moylan had called, a second time, the name of Lewis Campbell, a man walked to the bench from the rear of the court room and said to the judge: "Lewis Campbell jumped into the lake and he won't be here." Investigation showed that the speaker was correct. Three days after being charged with pointing firearms at Geneva Jones of 2379 E. 55th St., Campbell, who lived at 2257 E. 43d St., drowned himself at the foot of E. 40th St. Going some.
The statement that Councilmen Finkle, Payne, Bundy, Hubbard and DeMaioribus secured the reappointment of Charlie White, as assistant law director, and Perry Jackson, as assistant police prosecutor, is not true. They had no more to do with these reappointments than the Emperor Haleiwa 'Selassie of Ethiopia. It was certainly "out of luck" with Mayor Harold H Burton because every one of them bitterly opposed his nomination and did nothing to help elect him. This is notoriously true.
Stay away from the Karamu theater until it ceases to stage "nigger" plays for the edification of the poor whites who go to see them. Show that you have race-respect and self-respect. Also tell our boys and girls who attend the Luna park roller-skating rink on "jim-crow" (Friday) nights they ought to be ashamed of themselves. Our local ministers could help in this, tooo, if they would, because they can talk to some of the young folk's parents. Everybody that can, ought to help.
Our original Burton supporters, as well as all of our people of this community, are still "out of luck" as far as the recognition both are clearly entitled to, as the result of state legislation, primary and regular elections, is concerned, and are in a position to sympathize with our councilmen, who were staunch Harry L. Davis supporters before the primary and very "weak sisters" after it up until and including election, and in particular the City of Cleveland and county of Cuyahoga is in the same "boat".

Mexico City, Mex—Deputy Abraham Mejia has introduced in the Chamber of Deputies a bill to facilitate adoption of illegitimate children, he said, "constitute 60 per cent. of the births in the federal district."
CONTACTS BURTON.
The Young Peoples' Progressive League Recommends a Member of the Race for the Mayor's Cabinet and Asks More Representation for Our People.
Editor, Gazette: — History was made Wednesday, Dec. 11, '35, when a committee from The Young Peoples' Progressive League submitted the name of an Afro-American as a member of the Mayor's cabinet. The name submitted was that of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, thrice a member of the Ohio legislature and for 53 years editor and publisher of The Gazette The Mayor, Hon. Harold H. Burton, stated that out of all the names submitted to him for subject appointments "Mr. Smith was the first colored man." He further stated that while only one cabinet position (utility director) remained to be filled, and that had been tendered a person unnamed, he felt that Mr. Smith outranked many of the names so sub

mitted. He promised to give the matter serious consideration. The League feels, whether or not the appointment is made, that those who have reached high office, thrue the suffrage of our people, are now convinced that they are no longer satisfied with "the crumbs which fall from the tables." The committee, as will be seen by the following letter, made other demands of the mayor, who is the head of the respective city departments would give our group the same opportunity in the matter of appointments as other groups. He said that where capable candidates were presented there would be no question of race or color, but fitness alone would be the standard upon which they would be judged. His honor urged that more of our group take the civil service examinations. He frankly said that the most severe cases would have the most favorable experience with civil service it had had in years.
The committee also took up with the mayor the matter of prostitution which has become a sore spot in our residential section, and which flourishes right on the steps of some of our churches. The mayor declared that he intended to keep his campaign-pledge in respect to this and other lawlessness. He also said that he intended to do nothing spectacular, but to quietly and orderly eliminate where possible, and where elimination appeared impossible to control these evils. He said he felt that much could be done in aiding the police thru a non-political organization composed of members of both races, set up for the purpose of crushing lawlessness. He also said, he felt that such a body should not confine itself to any particular district but all sections of the city, where lawlessness existed. He declared that we would welcome the assistance of such men. The committee was cordially received by the mayor and was impressed with his frankness and sincerity. It consisted of Thomas W. Anderson, general secretary of the League; Miss Orpha Smith, first vice president; Mr. Cecil Perrin, treasurer, and Dr. L. L. Rodgers, chairman of the Vigilance committee of the League and spokesman for this special committee.
The following letter was left with Mayor Harold H. Burton by the committee:
Cleveland, O., Dec. 11, '15. Hon. Harold H. Burton, Mayor of Cleveland, City Hall, Honorable Sir: The Young People Progressive League wishes to express its satisfaction at your elevation to the office of Mayor. The League is of the opinion that an unshackled Mayor of your calibre is the one thing the community needs at this time. You submit that your elevation to the office of Mayor was due to the support of all our racial groups in a greater or lesser degree. But we wish particularly to draw your attention to the outstanding revelation that the Colored people are your larger bloc of votes than any of the other groups. This fact is very cheering to us in view of one of your cam-

"We feel it would be taking too much of a chance to take Joe away down there with so much trouble going on," says John Roxborough, one of Joe's two managers. "Reports indicate the bout wouldn't draw enough to make expenses," he added.
**Stepin Fetchit Starling!**

The process server, Philip Kraukers, said the actor hit him on the head with hands handed him ample papers, last Sunday night, at a theater where Fetchit is appearing. Stepin spent the night in a police station.

New York City.—As expected Joe Louis won his contest with Paulino Uzcdun in Madison Square Garden here, last week Friday night. It was a four-round affair, Joe winning all of them easily and kayoing his opponent so suddenly many of the 20,000 spectators have not as yet ever.

Our record is written in letters so large that he “who runs” may read. On the strength of this record the young people of the Colored group make the following requests of your honor:
That we be given a representative in your cabinet, in the City Treasurer's office, in the Welfare department, in the Public Service department and three in the Utility department.

Joe Louis Wins Again

That goes for Max Schmeling, too. I know. I fought both."
**Baer Gave Louis the Best Fight.**
New York City. — Joe made his private estimate, last Saturday, of the men he has conquered in the ring during his unbroken string of 26 straight triumphs. His rankings and comments follow.
1 — Jack Baer. — I rank Baer first because I hit him harder than any other opponent. Any of the punches I hit Baer with, would have knocked out any of the men I have fought.
2 — Primo Carrena. — "Primo gets second place because of his troublesome left."
3 — Lee Ramage. — "Ramage is third because of his boxing ability. I learned a lot from him."
4 — Patsy Perroni. — "I give him fourth place because he tried to fight harder than any other opponent."
Joe said he couldn't rank any of the rest of his opponents because in the short time they stayed with him he couldn't find out enough about them. In this class he placed Paulino Uzcdun, his most recent victim, King Levinsky and Roy Mazer.
**Louis Donated $6,800.**
New York City.—The Twentieth Century Club has announced that the official gross gate for the Joe Louis-Paulino Uzcdun fight as $128,394. The net was $108,878.39. Louis' share was $33,890. Paulino share $19,440. The Garden's share was $16,000. The Twentieth Century's profit was $3,500. The Christmas fund received $24,600, of which $6,800 was donated personally by Louis after the fight — from his purse.
By a margin of votes as convincing as any conquest with his fists, Joe stands acclaimed by the nation's sports experts as the outstanding athlete of 1935, amateur or professional. Third place went to another "Afro" athletic sensation, Jesse Owens of Cleveland, O., for his unprecedented achievement in breaking three world records and equalling a fourth in one afternoon during the Big Ten track and field championships. Owens tallied 61 points. If he disposes of Schmeling, Joe is the title next Braiddock for the Last week Friday night's victory was 22nd knockout for Louis in his string of 26 consecutive triumphs as a professional, covering a period of only a year and a half. It was noteworthy only because it added to his list* of victims a veteran who never before had listened to the referee counting over him.
A report from N. Y. City Wednesday, announced that Ethiopia had designated Josef Israel II, former New York newspaper man and publicity representative, and son of the late Mrs. Bell L. Moskowitz, political and social service adviser to Gov. Alfred E. Smith, as its "publicity counsel" in this country, with headquarters at N. Y. City. At present Israel is in Europe as special war correspondent for the New York Times in Ethiopia. He will return to this country in January.

Great Britain and France will
never get Emperor Haile Selassie
to accept their most recent peace
proposal, under the circumstances
the most outrageous and contempt-
able piece of “diplomacy” ever con-
eocted in the Old World. Premier
Laval, for his part in evolving the
latest and greatest insult to Ethiopia,
has placed himself down on a plane
with Adolph Hitler, Germany's dic-
tator.
‘We feel sure that the near future,
a few days, will show that Sir Sam-
uel Hoarse, British foreign secre-
tary, and Pierre Laval, Primier and
foreign minister of France, have
“pulled a boner” with their “Joint-
plan to settle the Italo-Ethiopian
war.” Not only Emperor Haile Se-
lassie but also about all of the mem-

LEARN ABOUT FIRE
‘The best friend fire has is ignor-
‘ance. Its most dreaded enemy is
knowledge. No one, aside from a
pytomaniac, purposely starts destruc-
tive fires. No one purposely creates
fire hazards or allows them to grow
and imcrease in dangerousness. No
‘one wants to imperil the lives of his
loved ones. Yet millions of ordi-
narily intelligent citizens do those
things unknowingly every day. The
bulk of them get away with it—tfor
a month, a year, perhaps forever.
‘Many of them don't—and the dread-
ed fire demon strikes. And it strikes
so often that, in spite of the fact
that substantial progress in reduc-
ing fire loss has been made during
recent years, the total annual waste
comes to several hundred million
dollars. Ignorance is one of the
prime causes of uncontroiled fre—
ignorance that is totally unnecessary
and entirely inexcusable. There is
nothing mysterious about fire pre-
vention, There is nothing difficult
about it. Any fire marshall can give
you the fundamentals in “a” half-
hour’s conversation. Various organ-
izations, such as the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, offer a wealth
of literature on the subject which
may be had for the asking. Each
year Fire Prevention Week is ob-
served, and every possible opportun-
ity is offered the citizen to learn
how he may do his part to prevent
fire. It is a duty and a privilege
to do that. And it will save us
actual dollars—everyone must help
pay for the other fellow’s fire. Per-
haps it will save the lives of those
close to us. Give a little of your
time to learning how easily fire haz-
ards may be eliminated—then put in
4 little more time doing the job.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
| A great deal of debate is still go-
ing on concerning the possibility of
‘@ new constitutional amendment to
sive Congress and the Executive
powers which the Supreme Court, in
the NRA and similar casos, has de-
cided they do not now possess, A
short time ago Walter Lippman, the
well-known publicist, challenged an
editor who has often written in favor
of the amendment, to put it into
words—that is; to prepare the text
of such an amendment in the clear
and legal form in which it must be
submitted to the people. It was Mr,
Lippman’s expressed belief that no
‘one could do it—and his belief was
partially proved when the editor re-
plied that the job was beyond him,
The actual preparation of such an
amendment would seem a task al-
most beyond human. power. How
could we further centralize and aug-
ment powers of the Federal govern-
ment—and at the same time preserve
the rights of states ,which are at pre-
Sent guaranteed by the Constituion?
How could we give to the government
at Washington absolute and dicta-
torial powers over commercial and
industrial life—which is what the
sponsors of the amendment want—
and at the same time keep operative
the existing Constitutional guaran-
tees that protect the lawful acivities
of individual initiative and enter-
prise? How could we give into the
hands of politicians sweeping author-
ity over our basic social and economic
institutions—and at the same time
make sure that such fundamental
principles of democratic government
‘as freedom of press, speech and ac-
tion were not infringed? The Consti-
tution has existed for more than 150
years. It has made possible our
growth from a handful of relatively
unimportant colonies to the greatest
industrial power in the modern
World. It has preserved, in the face
of a hundred onslaughts, the human
rights and liberties for which men
have fought since the dawn of time
—liberties which have been entirely
destroyed in other nations. It has
given us the highest standard of liv-
ing for the masses, in the world.
Perhaps those who would emasculate
and change this document are less
wise, less foresighted, less in tune
with the forces that make for free-
dom and progress, than were those
great men who wrote it. |

ETHIOPIANS DEFEAT
THE ITALIAN ARMY
Paris, France.—The war in_Ethi-
opia took a sharp turn, last Satur-
day, when the Ethiopians broke the
period of military inactivity by a
masked attack on the Italian forces
on the northwestern front. An of-
ficial communique from Rome ad-
mitted that Italian outposts on the
Takazze River had been defeated
and driven back 12% miles. A force
of 3000 Ethiopians, probably be-
longing to the army of the fierce
warrior Ras Siyoum, was involved.
The Rome- communique indicated it
probably was the biggest Ethiopian
offensive so far during the war. Mar-
shal Pietro Badoglio, the Italian
commander-in-chief, in reporting it,
referred to it as a “battle” which is
“still in progress.” The Italians
used airplanes and tanks against the
Ethiopians, he said, adding that in
the “first clash” four Italian officers
and nine soldiers were killed (pre-
sumably whites) while several scores
of native Italian Eritrean troops
were killed or wounded. ‘The en-
gagement seemed to indicate that
the Ethiopians in the North may be
ready to begin their expected offen-
sive of surprise attacks on Italian
advance forces which they can trap
far enough from their base to defeat
by superior numbers without air-
planes and tanks, etc.
Ei
The secret -of charm lies in your
ability to like people. Mix with
people if you wish to develop a pleas-
ing personality. You cannot fsolate
yourself and develop into the sort
of person people will like. The
darkest day lived till tomorrow, will
have passed away.

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 Cixil Rights law which the edi-
tor had enacted while a member of
the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
‘The General Code of Ohto:
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 accommoda-
tion and amusement, denies to a citi-
zen, 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
nor more thar five hundred dollars,
or imprisoned not less than thirty
days nor more than ninety days, oF
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 per
son aggrieved thereby to ba recov-
ered in any court of competent juris-
diction in the county where suc
offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been helé
constitutional and good lax 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

She will be granted leave of absence from the "Porgy and Bess" company to do this, on the request of Marc Connelly, author of "The Green Pastures" play. She writes that while in California she will have an opportunity to visit her mother and sister, his parents, and also residents of Cleveland. She also writes that her husband, Mr. Ball's health is slowly returning. Mrs. Ball added: "Mr. Ball and I wish you continued success, health and happiness; a merry Christmas and happy New Year to its fullest extent."

PENNSYLVANIA MINISTER GIVES AN UNSUSUAL EXPERIENCE
Dear Mr. Kirby:
Pennsylvania
My wife and I have used our mineral water for pyroxera and bleeding gums and have found it excellent. Herein is a marvelous experience that I have had. A hospital had given up all hopes for a young girl who was suffering with an ulcerated stomach. They advised that her case was hopeless. This young woman desired to end it in death. I called and prayed with her several times, and it seemed that death was on her. As a last resort, I gave her a few doses of your miracle mineral, and to our surprise she made a decided change. She is now able to eat for the first time in several weeks and she can now sit up in bed. Is this not a miracle? All praises to your miracle mineral.

Moroccan Chieftain at His "Front Door."
Prepared by the National Geographic Society,
Washington, D. C. — NWU Service.
ORACLE CO. Long, an empire
guarded from the coveting
eyes of Europe by the will
of a proud and exclusive people,
remains in her subjection a land
tempting to the traveler in search of
new and even rude experiences.
She is a country up-to-date, accessible,
civilized; yet barbarous, antique,
and forbidden. She is French, Spanish,
Berber, Arab, and Jew. She has been
nursed for a thousand years on the
subtle policies of the Orient, though
farther west than the greater part of
Europe.
Her emperors, some of whom were lords and masters of Spain, built great cities and castles and palaces and fortresses, before America had come out of the Land of Dreamus. They endowed universities and colleges for the cultivation of learning, the terms of whose foundations resemble those at Oxford and Cambridge; with some of which they were contemporary. The same cloistered beauty is to be found in both; the same lofty ideals of faith and devotion.
They assembled in their prime, great armies for the conquest of the world, and fleets that swept the Christian seas. Though children born of the desert, they arrogated to themselves great pretensions; claiming the Divine Right, not merely as kings but as saints by lineage. Their tombs, where ruin has spared them, remain as lovely as any in the world; their gardens of running waters are still a delight to those permitted to enter them.
And yet, half the population of this country lives on in the ways of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Orient and Occident Mingle
She is an eastern land in the marrow of her bones, though placed in Africa; and she has been penetrated through centuries by European influences, which lie deep under the surface of her oriental life. Her camel carnivans remain coeval with the airplane; and a tribesman of the desert, wounded in battle, can find himself carried through; he air to a French hospital across the whole width of impenetrable Atlas. Twenty centuries have been compressed into as many years.
She includes within her borders mountains almost as stately as the Rockies or the Alps; valleys profound and lovely; cedars as noble as those of Lebanon; olive groves like those of Delph; vines that grow wild, or are as cultivated now as those of Provence; cities like Fes which belong to the Arabian Nights, and Marrakech the Granada of Morocco, which glows in her fierce sunlight girdled by palm oases, within a day's march of snow-covered summits, "white as salmon" as Drake observed them in the course of his circumnavigation of the world; cities and peoples passionate with the fury and excess of Africa, yet profoundly inspired by the worship of the One God, their compassionate and merciful Allah!
For these and other reasons this country grips one, though the world be at one's disposal. Each year the pacified frontier of this violent and poetic land marches on into regions unknown. Each year one finds some new tract becomes accessible; old castles unsuspected, and chiefs living in them in medieval state; clans and tribesmen at war, now gathered into the fold; maps that record a twelve-months' progress, with all sorts of lines and spots and frontiers marked on them, each with its fascinating tale of valor or industry to tell.
And yet, this advance which seems as inevitable as the march of a Roman legion meets every now and then with sharp and compelling vielstutes. Out of the clear sky of this Africa there rises, as suddenly as the slimmo, a cloud no bigger than a man's hand, and swiftly it threatens to overwhelm and to ruin all!
The history of Morocco is one of violent unrest and order in continual balance.
Rebels Still Exist.
Since the magnificent failure of Abdel-Krimeh, who all but broke the power of Spain in Africa and went rear to reconquering Morocco from the French, the tricolor now blows beside the flag of the sultan over nearly all of French Morocco; but not quite. There are regions in Great Atlas where die-hards still maintain their freedom, delivering shrewd blows at their conqueror from time to time; and, in the desert spaces of Sahara, horsemen and cameleers who ride acknowledging no lord. It is these gentlemen who keep France busy, and offer her young men opportunities of advancement and ad-
venture, beyond that borderline and known as the Zone of Security. One can imagine—the attraction of such a life for a man grown tired of his boulevards and the charms of an overripe civilization; but it is closely sealed. No traveler may enter it without a strict permission, and there are places where even a French permit does not run.
It is not very difficult to have your throat cut if you cross that line. The rekkas, or secret messengers of France, faithful to their salt, frequently endure that fate.
But the sands of this colored and attractive life are running out, and short of another European war or some violent uprising in Asia, the triumph of France seems assured. None the less, these last pages of her story remain romantic enough; telling a tale of policy and arms, fanaticism and pride; of resistance, surrender, and swift revolt, that await a scribe.
But France in Morocco has not produced her Kipling. One doubts if she ever will. One great traveler she has produced, the Vicomte de Foucault; and one administrator of genius, the Marechal Lanyuet, grown white-haired and old in the service of France.
Those Who Serve France.
All kinds of people have taken a hand in this adventure; crafty and ambitious chieftains and fighting prophets; smooth diplomatists and hard-hitting commanders of the Foreign Legion; Christians, infidels and Jews; generals as lean as their swords—trempes, as they say—tempered, by a life in the Sahara, friends in their youth of De Foucauld and LaPerrine; realists yet mystics like the people of the desert themselves, and quite the best kind of man you can hope to meet in northern Africa; meharists of the camel corps who swagger about in their vast white pantaloons; flight commanders who cross the Atlas, dropping bombs upon the gathering tribes, and making new maps from the air; royal princes with an urge for adventure; drummers and army contractors out for self; ladies of high rank and great virtue, and ladies of many charms who possess neither; innkeepers and cannelters; French children who become the attached companions of retired diehands; drivers of armored cars and lorries sprung from half the nations of Europe, with weird personal histories, and a knack of extricating themselves from every adventure, or dying game; literary gentlemen whose home is in Paris and whose public resides in France; missions-scientifiques; hydrologists; deputies of the French Republic, shepherded in flights; newspaper men, unwelcomes; marshals of France with famous names; the resident general of Morocco himself, carefully guarded and surrounded with pomp and ceremonial observance; and something like 30,000 legionnaires (most Germans) who, having no country of their own, fight for that strange thing—the Honor of the Legion—and do the work of France for a few cents a day: Ishmaelites all.
Berbers in Opposition.
Upon the other side, and almost, as quixotic, is their friend the Dissident, who provides the occasion and the battle ground for all this adventure: a queer chap, with an odd love of freedom and of his native bills, a bit of a troubadour; somewhat of a patriot and fighter for the Faith; gallant, trulent, treacherous, and cruel; but always very much of a man, with a keen sense of humor allied with a strict attention to business. Awhile ago he raised a laugh throughout Morocco by stealing two carefree gentlemen of the resident general's household with their respective ladies; and returning them, a little damaged, in exchange for five million francs and a gramophone of the very latest design, with all recent improvements, duly specified.
The Berbers, to whose category he belongs, have always been "agin" whatever government there has been in the land; willing, as gentlemen, to follow any great leader to plunder and war; unwilling to follow anyone for long; the real nucleus of the Moslem armies who conquered Spain, and near of kin to those who marched across the Alps with Hannibal to the walls of Rome. The name of Hannibal is still, one is told, to be found among them.
During the World war they furnished battalions whose record of valor was of the highest quality, irresistible in attack; and it is with them that France must make her account. She will probably end by assimilating them, for she has a great gift that way, and the Berber has a European mind; but—there is the question of religion.

Glamour, Romance in Evening Dress
THE FASHION WEEKLY
IF THE revival of the luxurious, the more elegant, the romantic, the dramatic, the glamorous in fashion indicates a turning of the tide as they say it does, from a season of depression to an era of prosperity and good times, then indeed have we cause to rejoice for the present signs in the matter of opulent dress are most propitious.
The new fashions, especially format modes, are not only glamorous and elegant beyond anything known for years but they add to their fascination in that they seem to have recaptured the glories, the poetry, the vision and the imagination, the art, as expressed in lovely apparel created throughout the ages.
At a recent style showing given by the Chicago wholesale market council the gowns for formal wear, three of which are herewrited Illustrated, confirmed the feeling that we are entering a fashion era wherein a new spirit of elegance pervades.
Eloquent of classic beauty, and statuesque dignity which carries the grace of sculptural lines are the new evening gowns of Grecian inspiration. Extreme interpretations of modes a la Grecque are seen in the draped themes of Vinner and other Paris designers. Long flowing scarfs, hue wing sleeves, draped side pleatings are all shown in the new soft quality-kind silk crepes and velvets. Other gowns show skirts pleated all around of floating billow masses of chiffon, or slim dresses with draperies (often pleated) in long cascades from the shoulder, to form a short train at the side or back. Sumptuous fabrics, for which the present season is noted, bespeak the rich beauty of Italian influence, especially the magnificent velvets in warm deep purple and reds and greens, such

THE FASHION WEEKLY
For the football game, school, shopping or any daytime wear the above outfit is always correct. The coat is French lappin over a Scotch plaid dress in brown and red. The accessories are in brown to match the coat which may be worn with a suit on cold days. The swagger coat with its youthful lines is one of the tailored woman's highlights this season. Its smart simplicity of line distinguishes her wherever she goes, with no fussiness, but pleasing femininity.
as have lived through the centuries in old master paintings and frescoes. The versatility of the present mode would make it appear as if Oriental princesses had come to life, in the new harem draps and metal cloth turbans and sari scarfs and head coverings. Persian colorings and patternings. Chinese embroideries carry the spirit of the Far East into the immediate fashion program. Then there is the Russian influence which has an all-important influence on current style trends, as manifest in the smart high cossack turbans and fur bordered tunic blouses and coats and suits. Of course we must not neglect to make mention of the picturesque robe de style gowns which have and are bringing so much of romance into the modern fashion picture. In these you may be as bountiful and rococo as were lovely ladies in the king's court in olden days of pomp and glory when George the Fourth was king.
Speaking of the boutant we are minded to call your attention to the charming dress centered in the illustration. It demonstrated at first glance to the audience gathered at the style revue held in Chicago, the fact of high quality emphasized in a superb tafetta glitting with metallized highlights. To the right, in the picture, is a very lovely evening ensemble fashioned of one of the new rapturous, scintillating silver lame weaves such as are so smartly in vogue this season. Its styling accents a to-be-enviwed slenderized figure. Front skirt fullness, high-front, halter-neck bodice, extreme low-back decouletage, jeweled belt buckle are all highspots of note. To the left, a gown of pearl dot satin bespoke Grecian inspiration via heavy golden cords and tassels.

FABRIC KNOWLEDGE
AIDS WISE BUYING
Fabric knowledge is part of your fashion education. The smart woman knows that. It isn't the initial cost of a dress, it's the upkeep that counts. When you are confident that your tafetilla will stay crisp; that your satins will hold their luster; that your chiffons will retain their loveliness and never get sleazy or sloppy; when you know that your sheers will hold their shape and that your crepes won't ultimately sag under an avalanche of heading or braid, that your clokys will stay in, and that your drapes will not sag—then, and only then, are you well dressed.
Women are rapidly learning to find out all these things before they buy a dress. They are learning to buy predictable merchandise.
U. S. Designers Following
Glittering Fabric Trend The French started it, but American designers were quick to follow the new trend of glittering fabrics for afternoon and evening year. A survey just made of American textiles discloses that every important manufacturer in New York has designed and presented materials to achieve unusual brilliant effects. Cabled reports on the first fall openings of the Paris dressmakers still further indicate the advent of sparkling fabrics.
Tailor-Made Influence Is
Shown in Evening Gowns
Paradoxical as it may appear, the tailor-made influence has extended to dinner gowns this year. Worth launches wool-back silk velvet in dinner tailleurs with wrap-around skirts and bloused bodices, and Paton and Schiaparelli also favor evening tailleurs in silk velvet.

APPLEJACK KING — John E. Laird, America's premier distiller of fine apple-jack brandy. His family for six generations have made this typically American drink in Monmouth County, N. J., and his company has just broken all records in the 155 year Laird history by crushing 8,000,000 pounds of Jersey apples in three months.
TREE HEN!—Hetty looks like an ordinary bird, lays ordinary eggs, but has extraordinary habits. The hen is something of a village wonder in Chelsfield, Kent, where she has nested and laid her eggs in a tree.
WHERE ITS A ENGRACT TO BE IN MOURNING—This peddler in Korea is wearing this big hat, so that his face is shaded and people cannot see he is bereaved.
REALLY SHOCKING—Bottle manufacturers, continually improving the strength of glass, check their efforts scientifically, but Mother Nature provided the perfect shock test recently in Helena, Montana, for a carload of bottles manufactured by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company, Toledo. A warehouse roof collapsed during an earthquake, smashing the top and sides of a box car loaded with approximately 25,000 bottles of whiskey. Only five bottles were broken.
