NEGRO NESS I ITS VALUE AS A RACIAL AS BOOKER T. WASHING OWEN CASWELL THE LEAGUE IDEA. A most important meeting to Negroes is being held this week. The National Negro Business Men's League is in session at Louisville, Ky. Many meetings of our people will be held this year throughout the country that will be composed of more finely educated men and women, and their deliberations will be of vast import to all our people. But no meeting will serve to bring together the peculiar racial element that will be found in the Louisville meeting. The National Negro Business Men's League is essentially a one-man idea. It had its birth in the mind of Booker T. Washington. It is he who has nourished, directed and pushed the idea very much in the face of adverse criticism. Mr. Washington has been a kind of an eleemosynary think-tank for the race ever since he left the mines of West Virginia and walked to Hampton. This idea of the National Negro Business League is most peculiar and apparently upsets all theories of substantial racial uplift. One who sets behind this great master of the Afro-American diplomacy during a session of the League sees chaos unfolding beneath the resistless influence of a greater power. The League Idea relegates the much heralded race leader to privacy and asks the timid doer from the ranks to tell how he made a living and then some. The scenes shift too quickly to become monotonous. From the time the gavel falls at the opening until the last precious moment of the closing hour there is always something doing. One hears the humble, yet heroie story of a poor wash woman who has laundered her children through school, built a home and laid by something for old age. The interesting story of a few men who have tempted Fate and launched a creditable banking institution. Here comes a bent and gnarled son of Ham to tell the how of compelling the arid earth to blossom as the rose while he picked the fragrant petals of prosperity. These stories are not the "Castles in Spain" of the dreaming race leader. They are from real life. It is the subconscious voice of the race telling of the inward struggle. It is the flickering lantern of hope which is designed to light the way of our younger generation from the mocking pleasures of life to a life --- that brings comfort and honor. The League idea is the voice of the race. * * * Somewhere we are admonished to lay up "treasures in heaven." This the race has been doing assidiously for these many years. And along with this policy comes the laying up of a few treasures on earth "moth and rust" a chance to get busy. In these days when high finance is forever reaching after amassed wealth these two biblical terrors stand a poor show to get in their work. The making and saving of money is the measure of the market value of a people. The workers and doers of the race have heretefore had no adequate opportunity to get into the lime light. The center of the stage has been filled with the theoretic wind jammers who dreamed of a future of racial greatness to the fulfillment of which they contributed but little. This meeting brings to the surface the real workeres, who by example and precept are laying up treasures on earth to the everlasting greatness of the race. The stories told simply, falteringly, are pregnant with a latent energy bound in the years to come to bring forth fruit in due season. Thousands of young men and women are fired with a zeal to do something through these meetings. The value of this great and far-reaching organization as a racial asset cannot be fully estimated and appreciated except by those capable of correlating the facts brought out and measuring their value on the race's tomorrow. SOMETHING AT HOME. In our delight in the long ranged prospective, we often overlook at times the priceless diamonds about our feet. As we have pointed out from time to time, there are many in Colorado who live quiet and unassuming, is of great value to the race. Right here in Denver is an example. Very few know Owen Caswell, and none dream of him as a quiet factor contributing much to the race. For more than a quarter of a century this man has been the guiding genius of the great Bauer Catering Company. To his superb and perfect knowledge of the highest in the culinary and serving art may be attributed much of the marked success of this com- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO Z JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, ing Those Wh S AL OX THE W ER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1909. pany. He has been the "graceful Ganymede" at a thousand feasts wherein the gustatory nerve of the Nation's dignitaries have created delightful memories of the Centennial state. To him will be assigned the pleasurable duties of making President Taft forget the burdens of state in viewing unsurpassed service. The state dinners by Senator Hughes and at Wolhurst will be as a crowning event to the Transmississippi banquet. Not alone in his capacity as head caterer for the Bauer company does he contribute to the welfare of the race, but in the large number of Negroes employed as waiters and servitors. Through him thousands of dollars reach the pockets of our people during each year. And Owen Caswell goes on like the refreshing brook doing all the good he can, without songs of praise. Long may he live and may the Bauer company prosper. NEGROES FOR FRENCH ARMY France to Urge Enlistmen of Americans From This Country. (From New York Age.) Dispatches a few days ago from Paris, France, announcing that the French Government is planning to form a big Negro army of no fewer than 200,000 men, and that the Negroes of the Uni- 1 P. C. P. E. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. --- ted States are to be urged by the authorities to join, has created wide discussion in this country. The officials of the French Government at Washington, while not disposed to participate in an extended discussion on the subject, have admitted that the report that France contemplates organizing an army to consist of Negroes and that inducement will be made to American Negroes to enlist is true. Colonel Mangin, expert on African affairs, is credited with the idea, and has obtained the approval of the Ministers of War. The plan will be placed before Parliament as soon as the session opens. Negroes from the French West African colonies will also make up the black army. One of the principal themes for conversation among the Negroes of New York City since the Mangin idea was made known has been whether it would be advisable for the Negroes of the United States to enlist in the interest of France. Those who are anxious to join the army but refrain from enlisting in this country, owing to the prejudice against Negro soldiers in some parts of the United States, are jubilant over the prospects. French Army Officers Praises Negro Soldiers Colonel Mangin says his experience has convinced him the Negro makes an excellent soldier, his staying qualities and loyalty being at laest equal to those of the whites, while his courage never has been questioned Writing in (Continued to eighth page) --- RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Lieutenant B. O. Davis, of the 10th Cavalry, has been designated by the Secretary of War as the military instructor of the First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, for the maneuvers to begin this week near Boston.

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 2, 1909 The Slvent Savings Bank and Trust Company at the close of business June 30 showed: Loans and discounts, $50,495.18; cash resources, $18,191.83; total business for the year, $92,186.83. The deposits are $63,494. Out of the 23 Memphis banks, the Solvent was one of the five showing increased resources. The statement issued is most creditable. Not a man who appeared on the plains of Thermopylae; not one of the many who followed William the Conqueror into Britian, can in our opinion, equal in valor and patriotism the Afro-Americans now in the United States Army, who in the face of prejudice proscription and dishonor remain loyal to their native flag offering their lives in its defense.—Brooklyn Eye. Washington, D. C., August 10.—The Army Court of Inquiry which is busily engaged in the work of determining who snot up Brownsville on the night of August 13, 1906, will conclude its labors about the middle or the latter part of September. At this time the court of inquiry, under the chairmanship of Maj. Gen. Wood, is busy reading up the records of the famous case. A new penny savings bank was NO. 49 recently opened at Dallas, Texas. The directors took for the "text" without some money there is but little appreciation for our people." This is the day of accumulation. The three ranking officers of the bank are Dr. G. I. Jackson, president; B. R. Bluitt, cashier; and M. C. Cooper, vice president. We are succeeding as a race of bankers; if we can now establish big mencantile houses, sending out thousands of traveling men each year, it will also help. Sergt. B. Hawkins, of Co. K. 24th Infantry, and Corp. R. Bond, Co.

Great interest is manifested in the discussion of the Race Problem by Senator Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina, and Prof. E. W. S. Curry of Urbana, Ohio. The contest has been arranged by the Cadiz Chautauqua Association. The directors of this are some of the wealthiest white people of Eastern Ohio. Prof. Curry will be the first Negro to give an official reply to the Negro Hater Tillman. Several thousand people from parts of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania will be present for the great day. Washington, D. C., August 10. —Representative J. Thomas Heflin who March a year ago was the central figure in a shooting escapade in which he was arrested for shooting Louis Lumby, a Negro, has again come into the limelight for ruffianism. However, this time he was given a whipping with his own cane by Richard Johnson, a government employee, in a cafe. Bystanders claim that Heflin attempted to give an exhibition of what a great fighter he is, but having left his gun at home made a poor showing. His opponent not only took his cane out of his hands, but used it in a decisive manner, the Congressman's head being the object of attack.

Fifteen skeletons, lying together in such a position as to indicate haste burial and three English copper coins bearing the date of 1729, were found with the skeletons during the excavation for the United States medical school hospital, near the banks of the Patomac, bringing to light, it is believed, some Indian or piratical tragedy of early American days.

CANON CITY SUFFERED CANON CITY SUFFERED RAILROAD AND ELECTRIC LINES DAMAGED—MANY FARMERS LOSE CROPS AND STOCK. Denver.—Reports continue to come in of damages by the heavy rains. A Canon City dispatch Wednesday night says: The flood that swept the valley of the Arkansas last night was duplicated this evening, when a cloudburst on Four Mile creek sent down the river a second torrent equal to that of yesterday. Panic spread throughout the city and hundreds of persons living in the lower sections of the town fled for safety to higher ground, laden with such personal and household effects as they could carry in their arms. The river here began to rise shortly after 6 o'clock and by 8 o'clock the water had reached a stage as high as the flood of last night. The water flowed over the floor of the principal remaining bridge. The electric power plant was damaged and this city and Florence are in darkness. That more serious damage was not done was due solely to the fact that the torrent yesterday had swept away everything movable in its path, destroying two bridges and much property here, and nothing remained in the path of tonight's flood. By 10 o'clock the crest of the rise had passed and all danger was over. The Denver & Rio Grande tracks between Canon City and Salida were washed out in numerous places and it will be almost a week before complete repairs can be made. The tracks through the famous Royal Gorge are almost a complete loss, although the hanging bridge was not damaged. Officials of the Rio Grande are now going over the line, but they cannot be communicated with on account of telegraph wires being down. Crops were damaged to some extent in the lowlands and cattle, hogs and chickens were drowned, but the orchards escaped injury. A Salida dispatch says: As the result of a flood at Howard, a small station on the Rio Grande, twelve miles east of Salida, about midnight last night, Dr. D. D. Hamilton, his wife and Walter Alexander narrowly escaped death from flames. Torrents of water came down the mountain sides, flooding cellars and several homes. The basement of the Howard hotel was filled with water and Hamilton, the proprietor, tried to save some of the provisions, and went downstairs with a lamp and an explosion followed from the fumes of an overturned gasoline can. Miss Dollie Beason, the telephone operator at Howard, was carried from the office by friends as the operating room was filled with water, and narrowly escaped death. A Pueblo dispatch says: Pueblo escaped damage from the flood in the Arkansas river of Tuesday night, but reports received this evening have caused a new apprehension. The Arkansas river began to fall at 6 o'clock tonight. Train service to the West out of Pueblo was completely demoralized. Serious damage was done to crops in the bottom lands along the river between here and Canon City. The river overflowed its banks at many points, but this had the effect of saving Pueblo from extremely high water. The bridges across the Arkansas were lined with people all day who were watching for the expected flood. Many of the poor people spent the day fishing for timbers in the river. Hundreds of watermelons were caught in nets by those stationed along the levee. A Palmer Lake dispatch says: One of the severest storms that ever struck here caused considerable damage Wednesday afternoon in and about Palmer Lake. The barn of T. A. Hanks on the old Ben Lomand ranch was struck by lightning and burned. The loss is about $4,000. The barn was a large structure, 100 feet long, forty feet wide and three stories high. At Pine Crest lightning struck the bowling alleys just after a party of players had left it. The damage there is about $500. Kicked by her pet colt as she was feeding it, the little 4-year-old daughter of Ranchman D. H. Vogle, living west of Greeley, received such injuries that she died an hour after the accident. The Colorado Women's Baptist College in Montclair, which will open for students September 7th, will probably be the only institution of its kind in the country that will offer a special course educating girls to be homemakers and mothers. In the curriculum the course will be called "Higher Home Arts." The largest mortgage ever recorded in Las Animas county was placed on file at Trinidad on the 12th inst. It is made by the Victor-American Fuel Company to the Standard Trust Company of New York for $5,000,000 and takes in all properties of the company. They Were Good Mothers. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is quoted as saying that a woman's first duty is to develop all her powers and possibilities, that she may better guide and serve the next generation. Mrs. Stanton raised seven uncommonly healthy and handsome children, says an admirer of hers, and the children of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe testify to the virtues of the noted woman as a mother. The eagle may be as good a mother as the hen or the goose. IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA. Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding, Torturing Humor—Hoped Death Would End Fearful Suffering. In Despair; Cured by Cuticura. "Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings. "In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I said I would, but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed relief I experienced after applying Cuticura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep I had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuticura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J., Sept. 28, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Severe.

"I have been a coffee drinker, more of less, ever since I can remember, until a few months ago I became more and more nervous and irritable, and finally I could not sleep at night for I was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and a species of distressing nightmare. "Finally, after hearing the experience of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Postum, and learning of the great benefits they had derived, I concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble, so I got some Postum and had it made strictly according to directions. "I was astonished at the flavour and taste. It entirely took the place of coffee, and to my very great satisfaction, I began to sleep peacefully and sweetly. My nerves improved, and I wish I could wean every man, woman and child from the unwholesome drug—ordinary coffee. "People really do not appreciate or realize what a powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the human system. If they did, hardly a pound of it would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in a fire after I had once been burned. "A young lady friend of ours had stomach trouble for a long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee. She finally quit coffee and began the use of Postum and is now perfectly well.

DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL Employes to Found "Bungalow Town" District of Columbia Seeks Lost Domain Retirement of Wilson Is Intimated Willow Farm Conducted by Uncle Sam M WASHINGTON.—Although not at all Utopian in any of their ideas nor intent upon carrying out a sociological experiment, a group of officeholders in the capital, most of them government clerks, has practically completed plans for the execution of one of the most novel schemes in the history of real estate trading in the capital. Their primary object is to escape the burden of paying rent in the city and to substitute suburban life for urban life, and with this end in view they intend to found a bungalow town, in which the limits of cost of nearly everything necessary to household upbuilding and maintenance will be held to the lowest possible level. Just where "Bungalow Town" will be located has not yet been definitely determined, but it will comprise an area of 15 to 20 acres, convenient to some of the suburban trolley lines. This land can now be secured at a cost not to exceed $1,000 an acre, and when it is subdivided there will be no effort to secure profit upon the money invested, because the purchase will be distinctly a co-operative affair, and each participant will be entitled to his share of the increased value of the land incident to the placing of improvements in the section. This joining of interests in the ac- I WANT IT BACK DISTRICT COLUMBIA VIRGINIA CONGRESS will have its hands full at the next session. The particu- lar matter which will be agitated will probably not disrupt the union, although it has been the subject of con- tention since the states got together. It all came about through an incipient insurrection on the part of citizens of the District of Columbia. They got up a dinner at the New Willard hotel in Washington and invited President Taft. Then they "sprung it on" him that they wanted representation in the government; wanted representation on the floor of the house and senate; wanted a voice in electing the president and a few other little things. President Taft told them that if they wanted little things like that they ought not to crowd their demands into social affairs. $ \mathrm{H}_{2} $ suggested that it would be more to their credit if they started a movement to get back the slice of the original District of Columbia, which a too generous congress had given back to the state of Virginia. The citizens of the district jumped at the opportunity. They welcomed it. It was more entertaining than a semi-political campaign. It would be more DOWN AND OUT CUB WILSON THAT the Taft official family will begin about January to be rounded into its permanent form and membership is the opinion entertained now. It is strongly believed by those who have looked into the situation of late that there will be one change in the cabinet about the turn of the year, which will take out of that body the veteran, Secretary Wilson. He has been a cabinet member longer than any other man ever was in this country—longer, indeed, it is said, than anybody ever was continuously in a responsible government. With his retirement Mr. Meyer of the navy will be the only remaining representative of the Roosevelt cabinet. ONE of the many activities of the department of agriculture at Washington is the conduct of a willow farm. The purpose of the department is to encourage willowcraft, an industry little followed in this country, but extensively practiced in Europe. There, willow is largely employed in the making of baskets and furniture. When the reclamation of Potomac Park from the flats and shallows of the Potomac river at Washington had quisition of property is in itself considerable of an innovation in Washington, but by far the most novel feature of the proposition lies in the "building restrictions." In a majority of the newer suburbs assurance is given to the purchaser of each lot that the character of the section will always be maintained by the writing of a covenant into his deed that each house built in the vicinity shall cost not less than a stated number of thousands of dollars. In "Bungalow Town" this proposition will be exactly reversed, for it will be specifically provided that no bungalow shall cost in excess of $1,000. This will reduce the maximum expenditure of each property holder to $2,000, because it will be provided in the original subdivision that each bungalow must be surrounded by one acre of ground. Subsequently it will be permissible to further subdivide and build additional bungalows, although at no time will the projectors of the enterprise permit a house to stand upon less than one half acre of ground. "Bungalow Town" will make its nearest imitation to a sociological colony in its purchases of supplies of all sorts from the outside world. In the first place there will be co-operation in buying the land and then there will be a determined effort to save expense in building by the letting of contracts to build the little homes in blocks of two or more to each contract. When "Bungalow Town" is settled it is proposed that the women folk shall join in the formation of a central purchasing committee so that all forms of food stuffs and supplies may be secured at wholesale rates. dignified to work for something which they might just regard as beneficial to their "municipality;" it might even be regarded as patriotic. The president suggested that they might get some one to introduce a bill in congress to bring it about. And it will be done. Hence congress will have its hands full. That the getting back of this chivalrous gift of land is somewhat of a hot coal is shown by the fact that the supreme court of the United States evaded passing on its constitutionality, and congress, which has picked it up twice, has dropped it in two different ways. For the information of those interested it might be said that this Virginia portion of the original District of Columbia comprises some thirty odd square miles, now Alexandria county. The constitution having called for a plot ten miles square, the balance of the district comprises some sixty odd square miles. The one-third now part of Virginia, President Taft thinks, ought to come back. That President Taft was prophetic in his suggestion the lost third should be recovered is generally conceded. It is felt that it will not be long before this government will need it for various institutions. Already it has bought back part of it for Arlington National cemetery, Fort Myer and other projects. And as soon as the beautifying of the north side of the Potomac river is finished eyes will be cast to the other shore with a view to making it less unsightly. Early in the career of the new administration Secretary Wilson and Secretary of the Interior Ballinger had a sharp disagreement, which at one time looked like an impasse. It was suspected that one or the other of them would retire. President Taft smoothed over the differences, only to have them break out at a new place, and now, in this last entanglement, Mr. Ballinger has won his point. It related to the jurisdiction over forests within Indian reservations, and Mr. Ballinger gets the jurisdiction, taking it away from the agricultural department's bureau of forestry. It is known certainly that close friends of one man who is a likely aspirant for the Wilson seat at the cabinet table have been informed that there is altogether likely to be a change, and that the work of getting support organized is quietly on in behalf of this man. He is Representative Charles F. Scott of Kansas, chairman of the house committee on agriculture. proceeded far enough the engineering department planted Lombardy poplars and willows along the retaining walls. These willows spread over many acres of the land that had been dredged from the river bottoms. The northwestern half of this reclaimed land has been beautified with driveways, lawns and flower plots, but the improvement of the southern part has not been begun. The department of agriculture secured the use of this land as an experimental farm. The growth of the willow trees probably suggested the utility of promoting willowcraft in the United States and cuttings from many species of willows (there are 170) were set out in nursery form. To-day the department has a willow plantation of mLny acres' extent. COLORADO NEWS The state conclave of Knight's Templar will be held at Boulder September 23d and 24th. The taxpayers of Montrose county have voted to bond the county for the sum of $25,000 for the purpose of enlarging and equipping the county high school. The plat of the new town of Hereford in Weld county, on the Burlington, between Grover and Cheyenne, has been filed at Greeley. It is one mile south of the northern state line. The Colorado Springs-Victor water dispute over rights on the west slope of Pike's peak, which has been pending for six years, has been settled by an agreement between the two towns. Arrangements are rapidly being completed for the three days pioneer celebration at Steamboat Springs starting September 1st. Besides speaking by old settlers, steer roping, racing and broncho busting, the official opening of the warm spring bath pool will occur. The Steamboat Springs band will go to Denver to accompany the guests to the celebration. The Greeley correspondent of the Denver Republican asserts that the fact that Greeley in a short time will be the railroad center of northern Colorado is evidenced by the fact that there are now thirty small towns springing up in its vicinity. These new places are all in a rich agricultural community and Nunn, the farthest away, is only eighteen miles. Charles E. Burton, superintendent of the Grand Junction Indian school, has been notified of his appointment as one of the honorary vice presidents of the Lincoln University Endowment Association which has for its object the raising of a billion-dollar fund before the close of the Lincoln centennial year for the foundation of a Lincoln university at Cumberland Gap. The committee on melon day at Rocky Ford September 2 has extended invitations to the governor and other state officials of Colorado to be present on that day. They advise that shipments of the celebrated cantaloupe and watermelon are now being made from Rocky Ford at the rate of fifteen carloads per day. The height of the season will not be reached until about September 1. Austin Gunnison, one of the closest descendants of Captain Gunnison, after whom Gunnison county, river and tunnel were named, has written the tunnel opening committee that he will meet President Taft at Montrose September 23d. He is an aged man and in business in New York City. Herbert F. Gunnison, another descendant, is editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, and writes that he will be present. Highball, sailed by R. C. Campbell of Denver, won the first cruise in the yacht races on Grand lake for the Colorado cup, on the 17th inst., the time being slow because of light winds and squallish rains. Harry Bryant of Denver came in a close second in his yacht Dorothy II., finishing fifty-six seconds behind highball. Leonard C. Jones' The Witch finished third and Harry Langley's The Loon fourth. Phillip Dale, field man for the Great Western Sugar Company, stated at Greeley that this year's beet yield will exceed that of last year in spite of the injury done by beet worms. This is partly because of the larger acreage and partly because the beets where they escaped the ravages of the worm are fine. The loss in the neighborhood of LaSalle is estimated at 150 acres, or about 20 per cent. of the crop. Plans are being made in Denver for the celebration on September 2d of the seventeenth anniversary of the birth of Henry George, who in the early days advocated the single tax system. The celebration in all probability will be in the form of a banquet, at which a number of Denver's prominent business men will speak. The committee selected to perfect the arrangements consists of John B. McGauren, Jabez Norman and W. V. Mallory. While fishing on Tennesseae creek, five miles south of Leadville, on the 18th inst., Don W. Armstrong, aged 32, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. Armstrong was a lessee on the Ibex mine and a son-in-law of Thomas G. Crocombe, superintendent of the Ibex. His mother lives at 1285 East Thirty-first avenue, Denver, and is the widow of A. E. Armstrong, former pastor of the Leadville Presbyterian church, and later a resident of Denver. The proposal that all fruit growers' associations in the valley set aside 1 per cent. of the receipts for the season's fruit, to be put into a special fund to advertise Grand Valley fruit, is receiving serious consideration. The originators of the scheme believe that by using magazine space to talk "quality" fruit to the consumer, a hitherto untreated field of fruit exploitation, the investment will prove a winner. One per cent. of the season's receipts would, at present prices, net $20,000. Home-grown cantaloupe are on the local market. Roy D. Tait, whose ranch lies just outside the city, brought the first standard crate of melons to the association, and the proprietor of a local hotel paid $10 for it. The second crate went to New York City. The first was thirteen days ahead of last year's record. The number of persons living on the Chautauqua grounds at Boulder, this season far exceeds that of any previous year, there having been more than 375 people on the grounds for four weeks or more during the session.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN is setting a pace with its weekly assortment of general and local news and its live, pungent comment on the general affairs of city, state and county, which makes it the one great exponent and representative of the colored people of this great western country. Our merchants have long appreciated this fact, our home folks endorse it, and our visitors are quick to realize that a copy of THE COLORADO STATESMAN sent East or South tells volumes to the folks back home, while a year's subscription presents to them a picture of new life not to be gathered from any other source. AS OTHERS SEE US THE enthusiasm of this year's visitors to Denver and Colorado augurs well for our reputation, as a wide-awake and charitable people, and for the enticing glories of Colorado as a place of superb natural beauty and climate. The teachers who have been lingering with us since the close of the N. E. A. convention are full of praise of the hospitality of Denver's citizens and of admiration for our evidences of enterprise and progressiveness. Other visitors who are spending vacations or making tours of inspection in Colorado, make similar declarations expressive of their sentiments regarding the state as a possible and pleasant home for those who have lived all their lives in the old, conservative districts of the East and South. Colorado presents to them a new picture of life and its possibilities for success and happiness, and they are sure to tell their home folks, by word and letter, something of the discoveries that they have made. There is a little more freedom, a little more life, a little better opportunity here than anywhere else for people who want a change of scene and home, and we heartily commend the people of Denver and other Colorado cities who have striven honestly and naturally to so impress our summer visitors, from whose reports we may expect to acquire some very desirable future citizens. AN ANTIQUATED RACE LIBEL A CERTAIN brand of abnormally conceited white journalists and literary plagiarists are responsible for the longevity of a silly libel against the Negro which ought to have been in its grave long ago, and which only the wonderful credulity of an unsophistocated and uninformed white populace serves to keep stalking about in the comic habiliments of life. It is the oft-published and never-dying supposition that the Negro takes to the woods, frightened to death, at every new and strange occurrence of nature or those marking the progressive experiments of men, and that they attach an ignorant and superstitious importance to many other ordinary affairs which only arouse other people's quiet interest or curiosity. A tornado or an earthquake is the 'day of judgment' to Negroes when it is only a toboggan slide or a bump-the-bumps to the always well-poised white man. A holicaust or other calamitous misfortune befalling the white man is the first chapter of hades to the fearsome, ignorant and over-imaginative Negro. A couple of weeks ago, when the official test of the Wright brothers aeroplane was being made at Fort Meyer, Virginia, and the big flying machine made a straight-away flight to Fredericksburg and return, it was reported that the chickens scampered to cover, as if in fear of a great hawk, and that the Virginia Negroes threw up their hands in terror at the sudden apparition, declaring that the end of the world was at hand and the white horse and chariot of their religious imagination was swooping through the air. Unapprised white spectators, of course, merely said, "Well, I'll be damned!" As the machine flew the ten-mile course in about thirteen minutes it can be understood that very little time was afforded either white people or Negroes of any particular locality to indulge either their fear or their profanity. Last week the first mintage of the new one-cent coin was issued by the government and distributed to numerous banks in the country; it bears a likeness to Lincoln, and is called the Lincoln penny. The story was immediately hatched up in a northern town that the Negroes had got the impression that the new pennies had been made especially for them, or by some government arrangement they were to recive some special benefit from them, and that they were besieging department stores and banks for the precious coins. These pennies sold on the streets of some large cities the first day they were out for as high as twenty-five cents, for souvenirs, and in reality white people were more eager than Negroes to get them. But the libel on the Negro, like many thousands of its predecessors, was widely published, for the presumptuous and unblushing humor of white readers. For the sake of journalistic reliability and moral decency, reputable newspapers ought to stop this hoary, Machavelian practice. It is indulged in by newspaper reporters in Denver, in one form or another, as frequently as elsewhere. The average Negro is just as sophisticated, just as bright and receptive as the average white man, and there is not a community in the North or West, and few away from the rural districts of the South, where Negroes are more subject to the influences of superstition or fear of the supernatural than are the white people among them dwell. As Truly Enslaved as Are Drug Fiends By DR. J. R. GIBBS, New York City. SHORT time ago I was called in to a case of a girl who was suffering from anaemia. She worked in a laundry. I questioned her closely as to her habits of eating and living. I regulated her diet and gave her strong medicines. The case baffled me. Finally she happened to remark that she chewed a lot of starch. I ordered her to quit it, and she promised me she would. But she broke her word again and again. I labored with her three months before she finally gave up starcheating. A From this girl I got my insight into a habit which after ten years of study I now do not profess to understand. Like many working girls she was a gum-chewer. I wonder how many gum-chewers realize the strength of the hold the habit has upon them? This girl one day forgot to stock up with gum before going to the laundry. Once at her work she could not get away. For weeks and months she had chewed gum as she worked. Her jaws had been incessantly in motion. On this day she was constantly conscious of the absence of the gum. She was unhappy. She had nothing to chew on. She chewed her handkerchief, but it had not the consistency of gum and did not satisfy. The thought of gum became almost an obsession. Finally, in desperation, she thought of starch. It was white and powdery, but in a short time the moisture of the mouth and the manipulation of the jaws reduced it to somewhat of the consistency of gum. It was a poor substitute. She chewed starch all that day. The longer she chewed a "wad" of starch the sweeter it became. That evening she noticed that her teeth were whiter than they had ever been before. She confided this discovery to another girl in the laundry, who informed her that she had been chewing starch a long time. The second girl had a complexion which was much admired. It was white and colorless but very clear. My patient's informant told her that many laundry girls chewed starch for the complexion. So my patient gave up gum and chewed starch constantly. True, her complexion improved, but she did not know that a clear, white complexion is but an indication of impoverished blood. She kept on. The odd thing about starch-eating is that starch has absolutely no medicinal virtue, nor dies it exhilarate or depress. It is simply an inferior food which makes flabby, worthless flesh. It is a clog to the digestive apparatus, and the starvation of the blood is a sure result of its long continued use. I cannot understand where the appetite—if there is an appetite—comes in. Yet persuading a starch-eater to give up the habit is a long and difficult process. The Apprentice System By JOHN S. HODGSON, Civil Engineer. The relative paucity of skilled artisans, adopting as their life's vocation a particular handicraft offering possibilities of promotion as foremen or superintendents, stands in strong relief against the large number of highly trained youths turned out every year by American technical institutes. As regards the latter feature, the steady addition to the ranks of graduates in applied science evidences a satisfactory recognition of the necessity of comprehensive specialization—to use an apparent contradiction in terms. On the other hand, the growing disinclination to serve a long term of apprenticeship, with the naturally resulting disposition to abandon a trade imperfectly acquired by other methods, suggests a disappointing survival of "the vulgar conceit," deprecated by President Eliot of Harvard in his inaugural address nearly 40 years ago, "that a Yankee can turn his hand to anything." It would be idle, however, to regard this as the sole or even as the principal factor in the decay of a system under which vast armies of skilled and "craftproud" workmen were formerly recruited. It will tend to assist in the search for remedial measures if it be remembered that the same breakdown of the apprentice system, though in a minor degree, is to be recorded of European countries. In Great Britain, excellent results have been achieved in the past from systematic study in night schools. Much of their success has been due to the hand-in-hand character of evening study and daily work—the latter bringing home to the average mind the advantages, if not the absolute necessity, of what is furnished by the former. In conclusion, it may be doubted whether the full benefit derivable from improved methods of industrial training, however admirable in themselves, can be secured through their exclusive application to the class now filling the ranks of manual labor. A reversion to the old belief in "the dignity of labor," taking practical form in diverting to the lathe or the bench a share of the present rush to the roll-top desk, is a condition well worthy of united effort in a country showing many signs of drifting away from the lofty ideals of its founders. Woman can only reason up to a certain point, after which she "sees blind," or, in other words, loses sight of the question at issue. Woman Can Not Reason By DR. EDGAR HOFFMAN, German Scientist. Can Not Reason By DR. EDGAR HOFFMAN, German Scientist. If the perfect mind were appraised at, say 100 points, and the average mind at 50, it would be found that the ratio of practical-mindedness in these two figures would be respectively 90 and 45. With a woman sentimentality would take the place of practical-mindedness in similar ratios, the result being that, to an ordinary political or sociological or economic problem, a woman with a perfect feminine mind could bring to bear only ten per cent. of common sense, and an average woman five per cent.—which looks bad for the long-suffering suffragettes. When women show more than usually acuminous intellect they are really not applying either knowledge or experience, but are simply making haphazard shots by the machinery of intuition. And when a woman shows an enduring and consistent intellectuality it may be asserted positively that she is a-sexual, or without the ordinary attributes of love that characterize ordinarily constituted women.

Beckham was a visitor Tuesday and spoke words of encouragement to the union. Shorter Chapel reported four accessions to the church and Campbell seven, and one from Central. Evangelist Douglass closed his revival services at Campbell Church with great results. The Ministers' Union met at the Campbell A. M. E. church last Tuesday morning. The president called the meeting to order after a week's absence from the city. The Rev. E. Roy preached for the Church of God people and was raked over the coals for so doing, as this church is not recognized by the orthodox churches. The various churches are enjoying prosperity both spiritually and temporarily. The Campbell reported over $50.00 raised as its Sunday collections and Zion reported $20.00 raised in an after collection for missions. Good services reported in all of the churches. The Central Baptist church reported unusual large crowds all day, and at the night service just after the sermon the lights went out. Candles and lamps were hurriedly substituted and the collection taken. The constitution will be amended so as to make the papers the order of the day every Tuesday instead of making reports of sermons and the work in general. This is a movement in the right direction. This shows advancement and should be hailed with joy. The programs for the next six months were submitted and adopted. They are neat and well gotten up, which shows great taste and arrangement on the part of the committee. The Rev. J. B. Beckham is the efficient chairman of the program committee. The Central Baptist church announced that its rally would be on the third Sunday in October. Zion announced that its rally would be on the second Sunday in October. The People's Presbyterian announced the same date as that of Zion, but the dates will be arranged in the future so as to harmonize. Scott's Chapel announced its rally on the last Sunday in this month. Shorter Chapel announced that the last quarterly conference of this year would be on the first Sunday in September. Campbell Church announced that its quarterly conference, which is the last, would be on the 22d. The Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell will preach the sacramental sermon. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Mrs. P. E. Campbell is out again to the delight of her many friends. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McPherson are spending a few days at their home in Ft. Logan on a vacation trip. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mesdames Clinkscale and Evans last Thursday at the parsonage. Mrs. Anna Cox has been appointed captain of Club No. 8 in the place of Mrs. Anna Johns, who cannot serve. Mrs. Anna Bobo has returned from the district conference. She stopped at the Springs for a few days' rest on her way home and feels much refreshed. The second quarterly conference of Scott's church will be help September 25th. The Rev. W. McDonald, pastor at Colorado Springs will hold the quarter. Mrs. Bettie Red of St. Louis is stopping with Mrs. Dora E. Wallace. Mrs. Red comes from the large Union Memorial church of St. Louis and will place her membership with Scott. Club No. 3 will give a musical and literary entertainment Thursday, Aug. 26th. Mrs. Dora E. Wallace is the captain of this club. Mrs. J. H. Hubbard of Atlanta, Ga., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Anna Johns of this city. Mrs. Hubbard is the wife of the Rev. J. H. Hubbard, B. D., secretary to Dr. Bowen of Gammon School of Theology. Rev. Hubbard is a classmate of the Rev. J. N. Wallace. Mrs. Jennie Jacobs has returned from an extended visit to her mother, who lives in Missouri. She looks the picture of health. Her two popular and cultured daughters did not return with her. One of them will accept a position in the Lincoln Institute. Class No. 1 was the banner class last Wednesday night. This class raised the highest amount of money. Mr. J. D. Rice is the popular leader. The choir sang from their new anthems Sunday. It was good music, too. Come and hear them The time is nearing for the grand rally. The clubs are very active in giving entertainments and soliciting among the many friends of Denver. We ask the support of all church-loving people in this struggle to pay off our debt, which is due January, 1910. We must strike now while the iron is hot. Watch out for the captains of the clubs. The musical and literary entertainment that was given by Morgan Jackson for the benefit of Club No. 9, Lawyer G. C. Ross, captain, was an entire success. The church was filled with enthusiastic listeners. The special feature of the concert was the singing of the Fisk quartet. The young people covered themselves with glory in the rendition of this splendid program. Mr. Morgan Jackson has made himself a name in Denver. He possesses rare musical ability and some day will be heard from. Success to him. CHURCH NOTICES. Denomination—Presbyterian. Date of Service—August 22, 1909. Name of Church—The Peoples'.

Virginia Will Offer Bronzes of Father of Our Country and Confederate Leader to Congress at Its (Next: Besslon: | Washington. —The last vestige of the line which formerly divided in the Uni- ted States all that was northern in feeling yrom all that was southern will be obliterated when, at the coming ses- sion of congress, the time arrives to accept the two statues which the state of Virginia has offered as her contribu- tion to the nation’s hall of fame, Statu- ary hall. . For, along with the statue of Georse Washington, the Old Dominion is offer: Ing as her second choice of all her il- iustrious sons the sculptured likeness of Robert Edward Lee, the knighuy commander of the armies of the lost cause. The story of Virginia’s choice ig one of the most interesting episodes of re- cent times, serving as it does to show how generous is the appreciation of the American people for a fine charac- ter, and how eager the nation is to for get the bitterness of the great strugzle which once threatened to disrupt the union of the states. It was not without some misgivings that the legislature of Virginia decided to offer the statue of Gen. Lee to the nation. It was, in fact, the first time she had chosen a statue for the hall, for the plaster replica of Houdon’s Washington, which has long had a place of honor in statuary hall, was never, it now appears, offered by Vir- givia, although for many years sup- pased to have been her gift. No one has been able to find out how the Lom BY 7 if ig yy f i ve a3 Lh ny BN Sa “ice i). - Ws WO an LAME cay S rather shabby cast of the “Father of His Country” got into the hall at all, and it is only now that it is about to be replaced with a fine bronze copy of the original statue by Houdon, whieh stands in the rotunda of the state capi- tol at Richmond, that inquiry has been made. ‘The original statute by which con- gress in 1846 set aside the former chamber of the house of representa- tives as a national statuary hall pro- vided that each state of the union should have the privilege of selecting two of its deceased citizens, “Illustri- ous for their historic renown or for dis- tinguished civie or military services,” to be commemorated therein by their statues in marble or bronze In response to the invitation of the statute the Virginia legislature, Janu- ary 18, 1903, passed a bill, offered by Don P. Halsey, providing that one of the statues to be presented by Virginia should be that of Gen. Robert E. Lee. This decision was arrived at not without lengthy discussion and ex- tended comment. While the bill was under consideration some members of the legislature expressed the fear that its passage might be the occasion of a great storm of disapproval in the north and thereby rekindle sectional feeling, ‘This fear led two members of the sen- ate and seven members of the house to vote against the bill. These votes were for the most part cast by former confederate soldiers, to whom the memory of Lee was too sacred for them to risk any possibility of hostile criticism to the proposed presentation of his statue to the nation. The two senators eventually realized that this fear was not justifia, and not only withdrew their opposition to the bill, but accepted membership on the com. mission having the presentation in charge, When the bill was @assed the discus- sion was at its height and Gov. Monta- gue declined to sign it and allowed it to become a law without his signature. The Lee statue was designed and modeled by the eminent Virginia sculp- tor, Fdward V. Valentine of Richmond, Va., the same artist who made the fa: mous recumbent statue of Lee which rests over his tomb in Lexington, It is a splendid life-size likeness of Lee as he was in life, having been made by the scuiptor to conform exactly to measurements and photographs which were taken of him personally during and after the war. ‘The very uniform, sword and boots worn by Gen, Lee dur. ing the war were copied in their mi- nutest details, and the statue is not only a notable work of art, but -un- doubtedly the very best portrait of Lee as he was that has ever been made, SAT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. ‘Why help pay big rent?

One newspaper man recently sat through a part of a secret session and left of his own free will. He is Jerry A. Mathews, a representative of one of the three press associations which during the open sessions of the senate are given the privileges of the floor. Coming down the corridor one after- noon Mr, Mathews pushed through the senate doors and took his usual place below the clerk's desk. A treaty was being read. After looking about him it dawned upon the newspaper man that he was being closely examined by two or three senators. One moved over to a group and pointed at Mr. Mathews, and together they seemed to be discussing him. Things seemed dull, and after a short stay on the floor Mr. Mathews left the chamber and joined some friends in the press gallery. “What is that they are reading down there, Tom?” he asked the represen- tative of another press association. “Why, 1 don’t know,” was the reply. “They are in executive session.” “No, they are not,” hastily put in Mr. Mathews. Then the situation dawned upon him. There had been no doorkeeper at the entrance when he passed in to warn him and he had unwittingly enjoyed a part of an exee- utive session. - ‘Fhurston A. U.

Co Oe a : Gm ; a ay XO Washington.—lIt is not strange that the relations of the late Senator Alli- son should have made repeated and strenuous efforts to obtain the chair in which he sat until he became the nestor of the body. Such troghies make heirlooms of the most intimate interest, but in spite of the apparent reasonableness of the desire the sen- ate refuses to break its rule in such cases, It is stated that the one man who was allowed to retain his chair was Vice-President Hamlin, permission be- ing given him, not by the senate, but by two or three committees control- ling appropriations. Their action was criticised by the main body, and an understanding reached that there should be no repetition of it. Chairs wear out in time, but the desks put into the senate chamber when first occupied are still there, though, of course, new ones have been necessarily added as new states have been admitted. Efforts to get posses- /sion of those occupied by famous men of the past have been frequent, that at which Jefferson Davis sat being most in demand. Perhaps it would be a profitable ven- ture of the government to make a clearance sale of senate desks and chairs.. Doubtless enough could be realized not only to stock up anew throughout, but have a. comfortable surplus. It is stated, however, that the desks with the most famous as: sociations are known to but few, though a record is kept.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS. Unselfishness in Life Is the One Thing That Will Transform All Things to Gold. The moment we set about the task of making every human being we come in contact with better for knowing us—more cheerful, more courageous and with greater faith in the kindness of God and man—that moment we begin to attain the third purpose of life—personal happiness. Would you possess the magic secret of the alchemist which transforms all things to gold? It is unselfishness—or, to use a better word, selflessness. He who goes forth bent upon being always kind, always helpful, in the little daily events of life, will find all skies tinted with gold, all his nights set with stars and unexpected flowers of pleasure springing up in his pathway.

"Yes?" we queried with a rising inflection, thereby giving him the desired opening. "I sometimes carry my ideas of realism to a ridiculous extreme," continued the poet.

"Yes," continued the poet, "the other day I wrote a sonnet to the gas company and purposely made the meter defective." At this point we fainted. Could She?

The Shakespeare club of New Orleans used to give amateur theatrical performances that were distinguished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with a gorgeous costume, as one of the lords in waiting had only four words to say: "The queen has swooned." As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the king and said, in a high-pitched voice: "The swoon has queened." There was a roar of laughter; but he waited patiently, and made another attempt: "The sween has cooed." Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said in a voice which could be heard all over the house: "Come off, you doggoned fool." But the ambitious amateur refused to surrender, and in a rasping falsetto, as he was assisted off the stage, he screamed: "The coon has sweened."—Success Magazine. The Artless Boy. The boy bowed politely to the grocer. "I understand," he said, "that you want a boy, sir. Will you kindly look me over." "I only pay $3," said the grocer, abruptly. "I understood," said the boy, "that you paid four." The grocer nodded. "I did pay four," he said, "until I saw in the paper the other day that Millionaire Rogers began his business career on $3 a week." The boy smiled. "But I don't expect to be a millionaire," he said. "I don't care to be rich—I'd much rather be good." The grocer was so much pleased with this artless reply that he compromised with the boy for three and a half. Aid Fight Against Tuberculosis. Aid Fight Against Tuberculosis. At the recent meeting of the National Association of Bill Posters, held in Atlanta, Ga., it was decided to donate to the campaign against tuberculosis $1,200,000 worth of publicity. The bill posters in all parts of the United States and Canada will fill the vacant spaces on their 3,500 bill boards with large posters illustrating the ways to prevent and cure consumption. The Poster Printers' association has also granted $200,000 worth of printing and paper for this work. This entire campaign of billboard publicity will be conducted under the direction of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in co-operation with the National Bill Posters' association.

FOREST RESERVE REVISION ASKED IN SENATOR PATTERSON'S RESOLUTION RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMITTEE. FREIGHT QUESTION IS UP SAN ANTONIO NEXT MEETING PLACE OF TRANSMISSISSIPPI COMMERCIAL CONGRESS. Denver.—The News Friday morning thus epitomizes the work of the Transmississippi Commercial Congress Thursday: The resolutions committee of the Transmississippi Congress unanimously adopted resolutions presented by former Senator T. M. Patterson. They outline the West's policy on forest reserves and suggest a solution of the entire problem. The committee adopted resolutions denouncing freight discriminations in the Transmississippi regions, advocating reasonable rates between the seaboard and the Transmississippi territory and calling on representatives in Congress from the West to urge legislation that will prevent discriminations. San Antonio is chosen as the meeting place for the congress in 1910. Twenty thousand view fireworks at City Park in honor of the Congress. Night session postponed until today so that delegates could attend. Senator Teller criticises Pinchot's policy at meeting of resolutions committee. The dove of peace hovered over the Transmississippi Congress yesterday, and the conservation question, which had threatened factional division, was harmoniously adjusted through the medium of resolutions offered by former Senator T. M. Patterson, clearly outlining the West's position and providing a way for the permanent settlement of the entire problem. The resolutions were received by the congress as a happy solution of a controversy that within the last few days has been the cause of deep anxiety to President Taft and promised for a time to disrupt the congress. The result was that the resolutions committee, at a meeting held in the convention hall at the Albany hotel last night, unanimously adopted the Patterson resolutions, and they will go before the convention today. Friends and foes of the forest reserve policy were unanimous last night in declaring that the resolutions paved the way for a complete and harmonious program, which could be supported by both sides and which would lead ultimately to a forest policy upon which all sections of the nation could unite. The resolutions are as follows: "Recognizing that the chief of the Forestry Bureau, with other distinguished scientists, after a thorough official consideration of the questions involved, admitted that the boundaries of forest reserves were laid down roughly for the want of topographical and economical surveys, and that it is impossible to establish them scientifically for the want of such surveys. "And, further, that when the boundaries were established it was with the idea that they would be modified as soon as it was possible to determine accurately what portions were more valuable for the production of minerals and for agriculture and grazing; "And further, that lands more valuable for mining, for agriculture and grazing should be taken from the forest reserve as soon as it is practicable, and that that part of the public domain which has been reserved or which may be reserved, should be accurately surveyed and carefully manned; be it, therefore "Resolved, That in line with the recommendations of the said official and distinguished scientists, we urge upon Congress the enactment of a law that will authorize the President to appoint a commission to be composed of government officials, with two persons not connected with the public service, whose duty it shall be to determine, with the aid of actual surveys and such other examinations as shall be found necessary, the boundaries of those parts of the public domain which should be retained permanently by the government as forests, and that upon its recommendation the President should be authorized to open all other lands to entry and sale, and further that Congress be urged to make adequate appropriations to promptly carry the provision of such law into effect. And be it further "Resolved, That pending such action by Congress, the President of the United States is respectfully requested to exercise the executive authority vested in him under the act of June 4, 1897, in eliminating from forest reserves, when he can, lands not contemplated by the forest reserve acts; and be it further "Resolved, That we approve the work and policy of the United States forest reserve, in so far as it is protecting the timber resources of the country and the watersheds of our rivers and other streams, to the end that the disastrous effects of floods may be minimized and water conserved for irrigation and power purposes." Wrights Sue Patent Violators. New York.—Willbur and Orville Wright, the aviators, have sued the Aeronautic society of this city, alleging that the Hering-Curtiss aeroplane which the society recently purchased, is an infringement on their patents.

THE 1824 Gurtis Street NEGROES FOR FRENCH ARM ‘a military journal, Colonel Mangin adds that the American civil war proved this over and over again, and that if degeneracy of the black race has been shown in in- tellectual pursuits, certainly this has not been the case where the bugle was sounding the charge. “In France, where we make no differences, social or otherwise, because of the color of the skin,” said Colonel Mangin, the Negro always has developed rapidly. he has a special love for show and a melodramie desire to figure amid moying surroundings, no blame attaches to him. That is merely one of the qualities of his race, marking him as we are marked by other peculiarities. “I say,let the American Negro or his comrades anywhere else who are suffering from neglect or in- human distinction come to France ‘and join our colored army. Here he will find a welcome, an ade- quate living, a field for his pecul- iar abilities and great chances for the future.” The subject is receiving much attention in France, because of the supplementary plan to join this army and the Arab troops trained under the same conscription sys- tem, Algiers would provide 100, 000 men, so that in case of war France could count on being able to land 300,000 men on its own shores within twenty-four hours, To uvoid the danger of keeping so many trained Arabs together in time of peace, the idea is to. sepa rate them by sending detachments to various points in the French West African possessions. It is estimated that the cost of the Negro army will be $14,000, 000 a year and that of the Arab army $9,000,000, but if this will help in a great measure to solve the military situation of France, it is considered that these amounts will not be too large to pay. “It Is Better to Be Safe Than Sorry.” ———— 3) ZAVER COS 1534 California Street.

In Pastel Colors, Plain materials are much easier ot construction than are those of striped, ‘barred and flowered material. Per haps it is this that has made the deli ‘cate pastel-colored batiste a favorite with the home dressmaker. ‘The fact remains that many of the ‘more expensive sheer linen models in these delicate tones are copied by the amateur in the less expensive ba tiste. A favored method of finishing the batiste frock is the basting together of its various parts and the holding of them in place by a very close and even feather-stitching, Frills of Footing. Plaited frills of white tulle footing are much in evidence on pretty blouses of colored foulard. They are intend: ed, it is true, to be worn with the sep- arate skirt, but the colors should match, thus making the dress at least harmonious, if not a true example of the one-piece frock. The footing frill usually is edged with a little strip of straight or bias silk like the blouse, and its covered buttons and small bow tie are of plain foulard to match the general color scheme, See eniinial ating The application of mercurial lotion will sometimes remove pimple scars.
