national administration to the
sensibilities and self-respect of the
millions of Colored Americans,
even now that they are drafted to
fight for the country in war for
" World Democracy.
With no punishment for those
who assaulted and terrorized
these soldiers, with not only no
punishment for lynchers of Color
ed citizsns and but light sentences
for confessed murderers in the
massacre of men and women, but
not even a word from the Pre-
sident against the burning alive
of our people, the treatment of the
dead bodies of these brave Color
ed soldiers becomes an outrage
upon the Colored American
people. We call upon President
Wilson to restore the bodies to
their relatives if they can be
found.
The League urges upon Colored
Americans:
First, That there be held on
Sunday, Dec. %, 1917, in every
Colored Church, funeral services
for these soldiers of the Oath who
went to their death singing
hymns. Il
Second, That on New Years

Third, That every adult in the

A Public Statement and Appeal tC
Colored Americans.

The Boston Branch of the Ma
tional Equal Rights League has
issued the following statement
and appeal to the Colored race
on the hanging of the thirteen
Colored Soldiers for the rioting
at Houston, Texas.
"The deeper signifance of the
unfortunate shooting-up riot by
Colored soldiers of the oath Z. S.
Infantry at Houston, Texas, is an
index of the intolerable Color
prejudice and race persecution in
the U. S., especially the South, .
was the public declaration of the
Boston Branch of the National
Equal Rights League on Sept. 4,
1917.
Shocked by the hanging in
especial disgrace of thirteen of
these ColOred soldiers, their bod
les cast into unmarked graves,
this League, speaking for the
Colored millions thus wounded in
spirit who are permitted only
racial regiments and but four in
the regular army, this league
stands by that sentiment and
others uttered at that public meet
ing, to wit, If the unbearable
provocation by white Southern
police and civilians and the splen-
did record of these soldiers in
noble, brave, self sacrificing loyal
ty and service to this Republic
do not mitigate the severity of
their punishment, then we can
only honor the mas martyrs to
mean American Color prejudice
and enroll their names as heroes
in the fight of Colored Americans
for life, liberty and justice.
This unrestrained severity In
penalty, accompanied with de-
graduation unnecessary and I'M
deserved is but another instance

will take its place whenever there is
the least excuse for doing so, the
tailored suit may be quiet as to color
and conservative as to style.
In the picture shepherds check
and a plain cloth are presented as
sensible models for the demi-season.
And even If a decided style tendency
develops later on these suits will hold
their own, for they are built to fulfill
all that Is required in practical street
clothes.
Lent is not far away, and that means
that time will soon bring leisure to de-
vote to spring sewing. New fabrics
and styles for the coming season are
already presented. Those for children

standpoint of fashionableness one
thing is not better than another.
No one knows just why this state
OF things has come about, but it may
be because no such attention has been
given to sports suits and one-piece
frocks that the tailor suit has been
somewhat neglected by costumers.
They refuse to make predictions, and
women are left the joyful liberty of
choosing whatever style is most becom-
Ing.
Plain goods are always worn, and
checks in very pretty color combina-
tions have already appeared in smart
models. Inasmuch as the tailored suit
will give way to the sports suit, which

Nearly all the new styles are rather
plain, with plaits featured in skirts
and the bodice wholly or in part made
of white cotton material.
For girl of eleven years or so this
combination of materials has been
handed with excellent taste in the
dress shown in the picture. Cotton pop
lin or any of the moderately heavy
weaves will prove a good selection in
the striped material, and the white in
the bodice might be of thinner goods,
as India linen or percale or batiste.
The bodice is cut quite plain, of the
white fabric, and fastens down the
front with pearl buttons. Emplace-
ments of the striped goods are stitched

on to it, the edges piped with COW
cred cord made from the dark stripes.
The sleeves are three-quarter length
and finished with bands of the same
material as the skirt.
The plaits in the skirt are caught
down at the edges for short distance
below the waistline, say three or four
inches. All around the skirt the white
stripe is turned under the dark one
and the plaits are pressed down the
entire length Of the skirt, which is fin
ished with a three-inch hem. A belt
slips through small straps at the sides
of the bodice. They are made of the
dark stripe in the goods. 1t is white
and fastens with two small pearl but
tons.

If you are about to order new suit
for general wear, you will find an un-
usual state of things ip the matter of
styles. There is II sort of go-as-you

ASK PARDONS
FROM PRISON
Illinois Board Places Recommends
tlons Before Governor Low
den After investigation
Of Cases.

SPRINGFIELD. July 90 The
recommendations of the new state
board of pardons, regarding the COM
mutation of sentence or pardon of
number Of Illinois convicts who re-
Gently made formal application to the
board, were placed in Governor Low
denis hands today.
The two most important cases
which came before the board at its
last sitting were those of DR.. Hal
dane Cleminson, convicted Of the
murder of his wife in Chicago, and
that of Clifford Gilbert. who was con-
victed of the murder Of Thomas
Woods at NATION in October 1903.
For obvious reasons the recommen-
dations have not been made public,
but it is believed pardon or commu-
tation of sentence has been denied
both of these men. While the board
may spring a surprise in both or
either of these cases. persons &C
Quainted with the work Of the body
declare 1t is unlikely either of the
men will receive any clemency at
this time.
Cleminson is eligible for parole in
year and probably will have to
stay in prison until that time. Glenn
inson admitted he was leading fast
life and declared it his belief his wife
committed suicide. The board no
doubt took into consideration that
Cleminson, If not directly responsible
for the death Of his wife, was the
indirect cause of her death by his
alleged escapades with other women
at time when his wife, about to
give birth to child, needed hus-
bands care and attention.
While Gilbert's case is entirely diff
ferent from that of Cleminson all of
the points Of law were against his
receiving communication of sentence
at this time. Bryan Tivnen, Gi1bert's
Attorney before the board at it's re-
cent session, argued that Gilbert had
no motive for the crime. On the
other hand Henry Neal, who repre-
sented the family of the murdered
man, presented what attaches Of the
board declared was sound legal argyll
ment why Gilbert should not get
communication. He pointed out that
Gilbert was intent upon the MURDER
of another man and because he had
murder In his heart should be held
responsible for the murder of Woods
despite the fact that the latter was
not the man he was looking for.
If the board denies Gilbert's COM
mutation at this time 1t is taken for
granted he will have to serve at least
six more years In prison before being
eligible for parole

Care should be taken to strain the

Every woman knows that lemon

Just try It.! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this

CHICAGO, July 20.-Corn-The
conditions which caused higher
prices for corn today were identical
with those which have been prevail
ing all week and as a matter of fact
for several weeks. Cash corn again
made a new top, receipts being I'M
equal to the demand. Peace news at
one time caused moderate dip, but
have become so common as to attract
only passing notice, political condi-
tons abroad, however, seem to be
shaping more and more in that direc-
lions. Conditions over most sections
are generally favorable for the grow
ing crop.
Oats-Ju1y oats advanced five
cents bushel on covering by shorts.
The cash market was also strong,
maintaining it's wide premium over
the July. While crop reports from
surplus states indicate record yield,
the immediate shortage of cash oats
is upsetting the plans Of the bears.
