in thus attempting to draw the wife
| of the president into the campaign
in this manner.
IS. In view of your statement in
1913 that the Negro question was
out of politics and your statement
in this campaign to the effect that
you knew the Republicans would not
| undertake to disturb white suprem-
| acy in Virginia, | ask you if you ap-
prove of the effort to revive race
| prejudice in this State to the disad-
(! vantage of the people of both races,
when you know that there is no dis
position or intention on the part of
any one to disturb the race question
or to interfere with white suprem-
acy.
Il have endeavored to treat you
with fairness and consideration in
the present campaign. When you
called my attention to an error in
stating your position, l promptly cor
lected that error as publicly as pos
sible. I assumed that when you said
at Williamsburg that you desired to
avoid personalities in this campaign,
and in effect that you desired to con-
duct the campaign as a controversy
between gentlemen, that you meant
it. This circular is not In keeping
with that assurance.
II shall be speaking every night
this week and l do not wish to do
you an injustice in referring to this
matter. |, therefore, ask you to an
swer the above questions as prompt
" as possible, so that | may know
whether this iniquitouS conduct OF
your headquarters has your authority
or approval. In the absence OF any
statement from you must assume
that the acts Of your headquarters
are by your authority and have your
approval. Knowing you as | have
done I dislike to think that. this IS
true
It seems that both of the parties
to the controversy got "hot in the
collar. Just what Congressman
Oscar DePriest,, citizen OF Illinois,
has to- do with the campaign in Wiz
GINA and Just how white people al
legged to be Intelligent could be af-
fected by such far-fung effort to
stir I'D race prejudice will also be
question. In the search for the
mystery stooI-pigeon" whos cIrcu-
lated this kind of eleventh hour
trickery, it might be well 10 make
an enquiry in the want columns OF
this same newspaper and those OF

the name of the parties concerned.
It may be that the circular or
pamphlets were printed outside OF
this State and shipped here. The
colored folks understand thoroughly
the position of both of those Demo-
cratic Wings in this gubernatorlal
contest. One is about as friendly to
the Negroes as the other. They are
appealing to an element OF white
people. thousands of whom have an
antipathy to the brother in black.
They do not want to "shoo it away"
for the reason that there are not
enough Negro votes in sight to sup
ply the deficiency. +.
In the meantime, both party man
ayers have their mouths watering
for the support of such Negroes as
may appear upon the horizon with
no "strings attached for the votes
that they control and can utilize at
the critical moment. Selah.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, October 31.-The

Obligations Reduced.
The records of the convention show
that owners of the smaller theaters had
been relieved of approximately $780,
900 in obligations through a voluntary
rewriting of contracts by the film pro-
ducers.
Contract revisions we're agreed to by
a committee of producers headed by
Sidney r. Kent, general manager of
the Famous LaSky Corpora

Mr.. Kent, in advising the convention
formally of the action taken by the
producers, said other contracts would be
revamped within the next six weeks

100000 in film rentals. The rewriting
OF the contracts was agreed to. 1t was

Linen Is Best
For Washcloth

Linen is the ideal material for wash
cloths because it gives up the soil so
much more readily than cotton. This is
especially true of children's washcloths
that naturally are used more carelessly
than those of adults.
If you have any linen Turkish towels
on hand, treasure them carefully, and
when they have worn in the middle save
them to cut up into washcloths. The
ends are always firm when the center
part has given way and will yield sew
eral good, substantial washcloths.
For young children very good wash
cloth ccn be made from linen hucka-
back his can be hemmed all around
ard provided with a tape loop.
For q cotton washcloth good Selec-
ton and one that is inexpensive is made
from three thicknesses of white gauze
A doctors wife always has this sort Of
washcloth for members Of her family
and delights her house guests by pre-
senting some to them when they come
to visit her. AS a matter of fact the
material costs but 3 Ia cents for cloth
and she makes them in odds and ends
OF time when she would be doing moth
ing else. She folds the gauze in three
ply and then, turning in the edge Of the
outside pieces. runs it coarsely but Sc
curely around the edge With wash
cloths as inexpensive as this it is an
easy matter to discard one after 1t fails
to become pure white when it comes
from the laundry.

Clocks as Comfort
To Housewives

No housewife realizes how much she
depends on the knowledge of the time
at all hours of her working day as she
does on that day when she has broken
the handspring of her watch, the alarm
clock is running frightfully fast, the
kitchen clock is going slow and the
living-room clock suddenly runs down
and stops because somebody forgot to
wind it.
Housewives of many centuries ago did
not know the luxury Of the constant
kno Wedge OF time. Clocks we're too ex-
pensiye to be possessed by every small
householder. II they lived in village or
town they often could keep track of the
passing hours by the striking Of the
tower clock on church or other public
building.
But now there is hardly any one who
cannot afford some sort of timepiece.
There is less disposition to display a
variety of ornamental clocks in every
room of our house than there was a
generation ago.. when clockmakers
seemed to conspire with each other to
see which could put his clocks in the
most fantastic cases. You may avoid
having clock in your formal reception
room, but In the living room you have
a clock in plain sight.
In placing your clock remember that
they do not like extremes of tempera-
ture. Don't put hanging clock on an
exposed outside wall. Don't put clock
on ledge over the kitchen stove where
it is often surrounded by steam. Don't
put clock near a window, where 1t
may be rained upon or where it may
catch the mists that drift in at night.
Remember that q clock must be taken
to the jewelers. every year or so.

Turbans and Mufs
Made of Supple Fur

1t is a new note to have the hat
match the color of the fur trimmings
of the coat 1t is an even newer note
to wear a hat of the same fur. This
is easily accomplished in the nat supple
furs which can be draped in turbans
or berets with all the ease Of tweed
or broadcloth.. These hats, are, as
rule. untrimmed, save possibly for
handsome pin.
When it's impossible to adapt the
fur of the coat, as it often is with the
long-haired fur, galyak may be used.
This season muffs have been revived
with much zeSt There are barrellike
balls of fur which might almost be
mistaken for lost cuff and which are
often worn as a cuff. More novel are
the muffs formed by tapping over one
end of long scarf of fiat fur. These
are adaptations of Schiaparelli's trick
scarf of knitted tweed.
But the most attractive-and prac-
tical as Wells the combination OF
muff and purse. There is one shaped
like an envelope and opens like one
to reveal the fittings of q purse, COM
plete even to the mirror. Another type
is oblong in shape and has a Upper
across one side. All of them are modi-
fications Of Maggie Rouff's original,
which was of breitschwantZ. It was
large and fiat, not unlike the pillow
muffs We used to carry, and had u
modernistic or monogram fastening in
metal to open the purse flap.

Afternoon Style in Morning

are still out of place in the morning.
In general, elaborate earrings are
avoided. The carefully bred young
woman makes a difference in the sort
of shoes she wears in the morning, too.
In general, the type of clothes and
accessories that we call sports" are
best adapted for morning. Satin Slip
pers and rhinestone buckles are best
left for afternoon or evening.
What do you year as q working
uniform?
This question, put to a group Of
women who do some or all the work of
their houses. would bring very different
and very interesting answers.
OF course. for the harder sort Of
work there must be wash frockS, and
these may be bought readymade In
such good quality and at such reason
able prices that they are not hard to
achieve. Some women buy cheap
nurses uniforms In white and wear
soil more quickly, perhaps, than colored
gingham frocks, but they can be boilea
and washed time without numDer AIS
they do not fade.
Some women wear large, au-enveIop-
ing aprons over pretty Singham frocks.
Some women wear rubber aprons over
their frscks. These come in pretty
colors and designs or you can buy a
purely serviceable one 70 wear for
cleaning and dishwsShing.
Certain women in college COM
munity, where salaries ore TOO low to
admit Of keeping regular servants and
yet where there Is good deal Of social
life, have taken to wearing Srnocks In
the kitchen. They must often be
dressed to receive guests and yet must
rush to the kitchen to start the dinner
or to serve refreshments Or to get the
children's supper. SO they wear
mockS-artiStS' smocks in bright greens
and blues, rose color and orange. They
pull the Smocks on over their frocks.
The long smock sleeves cover the frock
sleeves. the skirt of the smock reaches
to the knees, and so the frock Is almost
covered.

Schoolgirl Wears
Simple Clothes

Almost all normal children wish to be
older than they are. To be grown up"
seems to be the height of the ambition
OF almost every boy and girl. This ac-
counts for the fact that, II left to their
own devices, most youngsters would
dress themselves in bad taste. Girls of
8 would select the frocks and hats and
coats suitable for girls of IL. and ~
year-old girls would wear clothes like
those or their 16-year-old sisters, and
the 16-year-olds would wear finery that
Is more suitable for their young mar
ried sisters.
Teachers in the city public schools
VIII tell you that a number of their
charges use much. powder and rouge,
lipstick and even eyebrow pencil. They
sometimes 60 In for perfume and sachet
ana regard silk stockings as an every
day necessity. But the observing
teacher will also tell you that the girls
who do these things usually do not
come from the best class of homes.
Well bred mothers are apt to draw a
rather strict line between what a girl
may do before she is Is or Is and what
girl may do after. Usually so long as
she Is in high school or its equivalent
she Is required to dress with girlish sim
plicity. High heels are not for her, nor
are earrings, nor beaded blouseS nor ex-
tremely transparent ones.

This Use of Costumes
Is. More Convenient
Than Old.FaShioned
Way Certain Ac.
cessories Are Found
Not to Be Suitable.

FASHIONABLE people q generation
or two ago drew q much finer dis
tinction between what they considered
appropriate for afternoon and that for
morning.
The fact that women as we'll as men
lead such busy lives nowadays makes
them loath to spend so much time
changing their clothes. A woman likes
to dress when she goes out in the morn
ing in a way that will seem suitable all
the afternoon.
What usually happens, then, is that
instead OF making her morning costume
answer for the afternoon she dresses for
the afternoon in the morning. We all
know office workers, Stenographers and
typists who appear at 9 O'Clock In the
morning in frockS that are suitable for
dance in the evening. It is so much
easier than the old-fashioned way Of
bringing the party frock In q bag and
changing IN the dressing room after
Office hours.
Now it is quite possible to dress in
the morning in 9 way that win be
suitable both for the morning and for
almost all afternoon occasions. But GER
tain costumes and accessories that are
eminently suitable for afternoon are
not suitable for morning. And the
tendency among women of good taste
and good breeding Is to refrain from
this sort of afternoon get-up when 1t
must be donned in the morning.
