WASHINGTON LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE GREETED THE EMMINENT RACE LEADER LAST MONDAY NIGHT. HE ADVISED THE NEGRO HOW TO BEST SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY EACH INDIVIDUAL "MAKING GOOD." VOL. XVI. DR. BOO WASHI LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC EMMINENT RACE LEADER HE ADVISED THE NEGRO THE PROBLEM BY "MAKING The audience which greeted the colored educator Monday night was a compliment in itself. White men prominent in business, political and religious circles were on the platform and in the body of the house. Such a large proportion of the audience was white that Wash- ington commented upon it as he rose to speak, saying that he had been asked to address the members of his race in Denver, but that after looking over the faces in front of him he was a trifle confused as to just which race it was he was talking to. The colored auditors naturally formed the larger part of the audience and every available seat in the church was occupied. The subject of the speaker of the evening was "How Can the Negro in the North Assist the Negro in the South?" and he said at the outset, "A set subject kind of cramps me. I like a looseness when I talk," but nevertheless he kept elosely to his topie throughout the evening and gave the members of his race in Denver an amount of kindly counsel which, if assimilated and acted upon, would go far toward advancing their present condition. The central idea of its discourse was to impress upon the colored people of this community that the people of Denver necessarily judge of the Negro race as a whole from the individuals with whom they come in contact here, and that if colored people here desire to help the millions of their brethren in the South, they must first help themselves and raise the local estimate of the colored man as a citizen. He advised them to diversify their occupations, improve the inward and outward aspect of their homes, work up industries which would create jobs for those of their own color, save their money, rid themselves of vicious idlers, and above all not to regard themselves as members of a "downtrodden" race The manner in which he instilled this advice into the minds of his colored brethren, playing upon their sense of humor, appealing to their love of material comforts, touching their pride in being citizens of the American nation, was an object lesson in forceful oratory. As he talked, the character of the man was revealed, and those who heard him saw a shrewd, deep thinking, earnest, kindly soul, a man who is proud of the race he belongs to, who believes in its future, and who will work for its advancement as long as he has the strength. He began his address by telling the story of the two frogs who fell into a jar of cream. After struggling a while one frog suggested that they give up and drown and have it over with, but the other declined to cease his struggles, un- til finally, about 3 o'clock in the morning, his kicking had turned the cream into butter and he crawled to safety. "I am on the side of the kicking frog, every time," said Mr. Washington, "and I believe that no people can get into a condition which constant struggling will not get them out of." Continuing, he said in substance: "Naturally all colored men in the North are interested in the colored men of the South. We are one people. We could not separate if we would, and what helps you in the North helps us in the South. One way in which you can help us in the South is to help yourselves as individuals. No man can help another until he demonstrates that he has in himself the elements of success. “A few weeks ago I met an old school friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for twenty years. I looked him up and down and I noticed that there were whiskers on the bottom of his pants and that the lapels of his coat were so shiny a fly couldn't have stuck on them. He looked pretty seedy, and I asked him if he had any money in the bank. 'No.' 'Got any lands?' 'No.' 'Got any business?' 'No.' 'Got a wife and family?' 'Yes.' 'What have you been doing these twenty years?' 'Been traveling.' 'Traveling? What for?' 'I've been trying to solve the race problem.' My friends, that man couldn't solve anybody's problem until he had learned to solve his own. Solve your own problems first and then you can help us in the South. "Every successful Negro — I don't know whether you like that word or not. I do and I will stick to it until every man with a black skin is just as proud of it as the Anglo-Saxon is of his—every successful Negro owes a duty to the most ignorant, poverty stricken members of his race. You must pull them up, or in a degree they will pull you down. The colored ministers, doctors and lawyers of this community have two responsibilities: first, to save and keep saved the colored people who have not made the progress they have; second, to set good examples for the benefit of the white people, so that our people in the South won't suffer by their bad opinion. By your behavior here you can help us or curse us. You are like the drummers' samples, by which the bulk of the stock is judged. CLEAN, CULTURED HOMES SHOULD BE THOSE OF NEGRO. "See to it that the character of your houses improves each year. See to it that the part of town in which you live becomes more inviting and attractive and sanitary than the year before. No group or race of people can settle in a State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, ng Those W NAL OF THE ER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NO DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6 1909. certain part of town without public sentiment being affected by the appearance of that section. See to it that the mass of our people here get clean, cultured homes, attractive outside as well as in, so that a person going by on the street sees nothing to tell him whether it is a white man or a black man who lives there. "Lay a foundation on the ownership of land and homes. Mothers, when a young man asks you for your daughter, you ask him where he's going to take her when he gets her. Girls, do the same thing, and you'll find that that young man will work harder and save more money than ever before in his life. "Give heed to the occupation in, which you are engaged, if you wish to help us in the South. I often think that as a race we ought to diversify our employments and not let a black face become identified with just a few occupations. I seldom get on a sleeping car but what some white person asks me to hand him a glass of water or make up his berth. He asks it kindly and politely but he is simply in the habit of associating a black face with that sort of oocu THE NEW YORK TIMES P. H. P. C. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. pation. I want to see the day when a white man who goes into a drug store and sees a black face there, stops to ask some questions in order to find out whether that black man is the porter, the cashier, or the proprietor. The white people seldom see our ministers, seldom see our doctors; they have come to associate a black face with tasks sometimes called menial. In the sight of God all work is honorable and you should do your work well whatever it is. Slovenliness, indifference, and unreliability will hurt any race. "I hear complaints that young Negroes can't get work in white men's shops and storehouses and --- factories. We must get to a point where we are creators of positions for ourselves. I want to see your young men take a little land; raise poultry; sell the eggs in town; establish an office there, where their sisters can work as stenographers, and own their own business, regardless of political parties. You will find that the white people will draw no color line on eggs, my friends. "You can learn lessons from other foreigners in that respect. Cast your net in the deep,' as the Bible says. A Negro usually just fishes around the shore, and of course he catches nothing but minnows. A Negro boy who goes into business as a tailor or a banker or anything else has a peculiar advantage over a white man, because he can use his color as an advertisement. "Start a bank account and save your money. Some Negroes go around talking 'rights, rights,' but my friends, a man with no money has; mighty few 'rights.' Above all, exhibit a spirit of courage and hopefulness. Don't advertise adversity: advertise success." The speaker then concluded with a sketch of what the Negro race P. has accomplished since it emerged from slavery forty-five years ago, and challenged anyone to point out another race which had advanced so far in an equal length of time. Rev. A. Ward, pastor of Shorter chapel, presided over the meeting and Mr. Washington was introduced by Bishop Abraham Grant, of the Fifth district African M. E. church. The receipts of the lecture went to a building fund for the Young Men's Christian brotherhood, on the work of which a few encouraging words were spoken by G. S. Bilheimer, secretary of the local Y. M. C. A.—Denver Republican. RACE NEWS The race is glad to note that Major John R. Lynch "got by" all right in his walking test.

New York, Nov. 1—Sam Langford, the Boston Negro pugilist, is seeking a backer with $10,000 to comply with Jack Johnson's demand that he deposit that amount before Johnson will consider a fight with him. Although Johnson demanded only a $5,000 forfeit from Jeffries, Langford is not discouraged, but declared he will find the backer and that he will whip Johnson before the date of the Jefferies fight. who is a young full-blooded colored lady.

The court will follow up the Brownsville hearing with a similar proceeding at Washington. Richmond, Va., Oct. 24.—Walker Darcus, an aged colored man from Brewton, Ala., is in Richmond in the interest of an organization known as the United Order of Ex-Slaves, of which he is the general representative. The object of the organization is to secure united effort on the part of all ex-slaves in petitioning Congress to pass a measure pensioning ex-salves Darcus says he has perfected organization in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. His visit to Richmond is to interest the colored people herewith a view to organization in this State. Darcus in an illiterate man, but talks sensibly. Taxicabs are a necessary institution in Paris and they are all kept busy, according to a statement in a trade journal of that city, but one particular "taxi" seems to have the preference over all other.

MICHIGAN DISCRIMI- NATING AGAINST NEGRO LODGES In the main the Michigan law prohibiting organizations of colored men from using the name, emblems and so forth of the organizations of white men is as follows: "No person shall wear or exhibit the badge, button, emblem, decoration, insignia or charm, or shall assume or use the name of any benevolent, humane, fraternal or charitable corporation, incorporated under the laws of this or any other State or of the United States, or shall assume or claim to be a member thereof, or of a benevolent, humane, fraternal or charitable cooporation, the name of which so nearly resembles the name of any other corporation existing prior to the organization of the corporation or association of which such person may claim to be a member, the name whereof may be calculated to deceive the people with respect to any such prior corporation, unless he shall be authorized under the law, statutes, rules, regulations and by-laws of such former corporation to wear such badge, button, emblem, decoration, insignia or charm, or to use and assume such name as members thereof."—Freeman.

HIGHER PRICES ON STATE LANDS LARGE SALES OF LAND IN PU EBLO, ROUTT AND WELD COUNTIES. BIG TRACT $18 AN ACRE PRINCIPAL SALES IN PUEBLO COUNTY, NORTH OF CITY OF PUEBLO. Denver.—Prices higher than those set by the state's own appraisers were obtained by the land board Wednesday in a big sale of land in Pueblo, Routt and Weld counties. In Pueblo county, where the largest sales took place, land was advertised for $12 an acre just east of Teller pasture, where Senator Teller is planning a big irrigation system. This land was sold for as high as $22.50 an acre, and one man, R. C. Proctor, bought 2,700 acres at an average price of $18 an acre. It is expected that the land will become very valuable as soon as water is on it, and a new agricultural district developed. The total sales amounted to 16,000 acres, the sale prices ranging from $5 to $22.50 an acre. Of this amount, 12,000 acres were located in Pueblo county, north of the town of Pueblo. The Routt county land was located away from the railroad, some of it as far north as the Wyoming line. The rest of the land was in Weld county, where the sale was comparatively small. The land office was crowded all the afternoon with bidders. Law Building Opened. Boulder.—The University of Colorado formally took possession of the Guggenheim law building Wednesday. Professors and students of the law department, forming in line outside of the Hale building, marched across the campus to the new building donated by the senator, and assembled in the court room on the third floor to listen to brief addresses by President Baker, Dean J. D. Flemming and Prof. A. A. Reed and W. H. Pease. The speakers outlined the history of the law school and its plans for the future and paid glowing tributes to the generosity of Senator Guggenheim. Greeley Buys Idaho Potatoes. Denver.—A Greeley special to The Republican says: Because farmers are holding back their potatoes, Greeley dealers are filling orders by buying Idaho potatoes and shipping them. During the last week 110 carloads of Idaho potatoes have been received here and sent on to Texas and Oklahoma. All the potatoes were inspected here and pronounced first-class. Dealers say they can obtain Idaho potatoes cheaper than the local product. Potatoes dropped to 65 cents today and farmers refused to sell freely. While W. G. Bayles, a miner living alone in a cabin south of Victor, was ill a few nights since, burglaries entered and ransacked the place, taking considerable property of value. Bayles in his weakened condition was forced to watch the burglaries work and his loss was not made known until the doctor made his regular call. Capt. William M. Morris, a Colorado Springs mining engineer, has invented a propeller which he claims can be used on warships or on aeroplanes. He has written the navy and war departments concerning it, but received no answer. He then addressed the British and Japanese governments, and has just received an answer from the London war office saying that his patent will be investigated. Robert E. Pratt of Denver and Robert E. Clarke of Meeker have finished the work of resurveying some 1,400 square miles of government land in Baca county, under special contract from the United States surveyor general. The original survey was found to be inaccurate, and with the re-establishment of the lines it is anticipated that there will be a movement to organize a large irrigation project, using the waters of Two Buttes and Horse creek as bases. An experiment to test the value of Colorado grown feeds, for which the General Assembly made an appropriation of $10,000, was set on foot at Colorado Agricultural College a few days since when the committee on farm stock and veterinary science recommended the purchase of live stock for experimental purposes. Thirty-three steers, 600 lambs and 100 hogs will be bought. California feed barley, instead of corn, will be used as a basis for the experiment. This variety is the standard barley grown in the irrigated sections of this state. According to figures compiled yesterday by Secretary of State James B. Pearce, the receipts of his office for last month, $22,148.70, were nearly double what they were for the same month a year ago. The payment of flat taxes by several corporations accounts for part of the increase. Attorneys and clients may make publication of official notices in any legal newspaper, regardless of the orders of courts, according to a decision rendered by District Judge Shackleford at Montrose.

BUDGET GOES TO HOUSE OF LORDS BUDGET GOES TO HOUSE OF LORDS BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS PASSES GOVERNMENT FINANCE BILL. MAJORITY VERY LARGE NATIONALISTS ABSTAIN FROM VOTING AS A REBUKE TO HOUSE OF LORDS. London.—The House of Commons Thursday night passed on the third reading of finance bill or budget by a vote of 379 to 149. The scene in the house was memorable. Seldom has there been a larger attendance of members and peers and the diplomatic galleries were crowded to capacity. Chancellor Lloyd-George, Premier Asquith, and Balfour, leader of the opposition, all spoke, and tense excitement prevailed. Asquith, in a brief speech, closing the debate, said it was incumbent upon those who objected to the government's taxes to provide some alternative scheme to meet the nation's necessities. Where was this scheme, he asked. Sooner or later Balfour must show his hand, and it would have to be a hand that would not suit the game of the tariff reformers. The government, continued the premier, might be well content to rest in patience. There were only two issues before the house—the taxes proposed by the budget, or tariff reform. Division was then taken and the announcement of the vote, showing the government's majority to be larger than had been expected, was greeted with prolonged ministerial cheers. The Conservatives had counted upon a score of Liberal abstentions, but apparently only two Liberals joined the Nationalists in abstaining from voting. The bill will be formally passed on its first reading in the House of Lords Friday, the debate, on the second reading, which will determine its fate, beginning November 22. The Liberal papers are pleased that the budget has left the House of Commons backed by a solid majority representing the whole strength of the party, including the labor members. The only matter of discontent is the refusal of the Nationalists to support the budget. The absention of the Nationalists is a declaration of war against the house of lords. Timothy Healy, Nationalist M. P. from the North division of Louth, tried ineffectually at Thursday's meeting to induce his party to vote against the budget, but he only secured nine colleagues to support him. In announcing his party's decision to abstain, John E. Redmond, in a speech in the house emphatically declared that if it was to be a question of the lords' power to block the country's legislation permanently, he would not be on the side of the lords, but on the side of the commons, and he would not allow himself to be cajoled from this attitude by reason of his opposition to increased taxation in Ireland. Money for Prosecution. Basin, Wyo.—The prosecution, which has been badly handicapped for funds, owing to the stand taken by local banks in refusing to accept county warrants because of the depleted condition of the county treasury Wednesday announced that it had secured $20,000 cash for court expenses and that any sum, up to a quarter of a million dollars, can be had at any time the money is needed, in the cases against the seven Ten Sleep cattlemen charged with the murder of Joseph Allemand, Jules Lazler and Joseph Emge, sheepmen who were assassinated on Spring Creek April 2nd last. It is reported that the Wyoming Wool Growers' Association, the Big Horn County Association and a number of leading sheepmen have contributed to a fund to assist the prosecution, and it is hinted that prominent Frenchmen, including relatives of the dead sheepmen, have also contributed. President Taft Quotes Rhyme. Birmingham, Ala.—President Taft in an address here expressed again his good will toward the South. While doing so, an old graybearded man in the crowd called out: "God bless you; we all love you!" The President smiled and replied: "That reminds me of the old quotatoin: 'It may be all right to dissemble your love, but why did you kick me down stairs.' But I have no fault to find on that score. The fact that you had so little to do with putting me where I am makes me appreciate the warmth and sincerity of your reception all the more." Woman Gets Important Office. Denver.—Mrs. Helen L. Grenfell, one of the most prominent women in Colorado, has been appointed by Governor Shafroth as a member of the Board of Control or the Penitentiary and Reformatory, to succeed Dr. Ralph L. Taylor, who resigned to devote his time exclusively to professional duties. When Governor Shafroth returned from his southern trip Thursday he found the resignation of Dr. Taylor awaiting his action. He immediately appointed Mrs. Grenfell. She is the first woman to become a member of this board. Loveliness does more than destroy ugliness; it destroys matter.

FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. WESTERN NEWS. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great negro educator, spoke to an immense audience at the People's Tabernacle in Denver on the night of November 1st on "How the Negro of the North Can Assist the Negro of the South." His solution is individual industry and thrift, good habits and high character. The closing session of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways convention at New Orleans was marked by enthusiastic expressions of faith in an attainment of "Fourteen feet through the valley," further pledges of support of the movement and additional estimates of benefit. Fire at Dodge City, Kans., on the night of the 1st inst., destroyed the building occupied by the Dodge City Mercantile Company, a residence and other property, causing an aggregate loss of $165,000. Insurance, $74,000. Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald was the chief stockholder in the mercantile company. Mrs. Johanna Engelman, the first woman juror in California, met her Waterloo when she appeared in the court room of Judge D. F. Bledsoe of San Bernardino. Judge Bledsoe excused her from the panel and added that she need not return. He ruled that neither the California statutes nor the common law provided for woman jurors.

President Taft derailed golf from the charge that it is a rich man's game. "The game of golf I am not only fond of myself," he said, "but I am serious in thinking that its general spread through the country is a real advance in the matter of hygiene and healthfulness and long life to men between 50 and 70. I am hopeful that the virtues of golf as a trainer of character and as a leveler instead of an exalter of people will be so well understood that in any future political campaign golf will figure rather as a reason for electing a candidate who is addicted to it, rather than to defeat him."

We and our employees are all anxious to please you, but in a large growing business we will ourselves happen if they do, we want you to feel that we are not only willing, but glad to correct them. By AFA MAY KRECKER HERE is an old Latin phrase, “Utilitas juvandi,” the advan- tage of aiding others. ‘his phrase bespeaks the modern spirit. For whereas religion and altruism long haye counseled the helping hand as a moral duty, our practical contemporary phi- losophy has deduced its utilitarian virtues. And this with increasing eae, For we are living ever nearer each other and finding each other more necessary to the execution of our plans. Before we had achieved the division of labor and speciali- zation a single man produced a watch which now requires sev- eral hundred warknicn to nerfect. Toedav each factory man earns how to make only a& pafticular part of the machine, and without his hundred fellow workers would never find the watch completed. ‘Towns and nations specialize in industrics and need all the rest of the world to buy what they make and to supply them with what they do not make. Homes in days of old were tanyles of all the handicrafts of domestic in- terest. But now they do little jut make beds and cook. All other house- hold labors are performed in some specialized center—the curtains cleaned in one shop, the rugs in another, the laundry done here, the dresses made there. . As our society waxes more intricate labor divisions and specializations increase. The members of the community discover that they need the others in order to complete their own lives. ‘They cannot live to them- selyes alone. And they discover {hat those who do not help hinder. Wher- ever there is a drone society is impoverished by the measure of the work he might contribute were he busy. And whenever there is a poorly trained worker society loses to the degree of his inefficiency. Lester Ward is responsible for this idea and he defends it in his way. Were we living the isolated lives of the primitive societies it is conceiv- able that we could dispense with each other and each other's cleverness, toil and ingenuity. But in the intimately interwoven tissue of our cur- rent life every individual thread counts. And the fabric is no stronger than its weakest link. We all fall with the weak. The downtrodden mem- bers of society and their pains are our most expensive lixuries. Were they able to work we should enjoy the products of their labors. Were they able to work we should have the better products to relish the TROT eee SCY. GO OS et Se ee should profit by their discoveries. And these are the most precious of all industrial products. The innovator is the one that makes the world move. He inaugurates a change, takes things from the old ruts, forms new grooves. Without him we should still be leading the simple life simplicimus of the savage and the stone age. With him we have wire- less telegraphy and flying machines and steam heat and printing presses and a number of other things equally. pleasant. generations by raising the employment age, but... 1 know whereol I speak when I say that humanity demands some provision for the care of these widows and orphans.” Provision for the families of men crippled by the accidents of indus- try is an important featare of labor legislation in practically all of the nations of Europe. For the employer to compensate women and children made dependent by the casualties of production is accepted almost as read- ily as for the staie to pension the families of soldiers and sailors slain in war and provision is made with equal good grace for the comfort of dis- abled workmen. . In the United States the situation is different. We are generous in our compensation to the victims of war, but the American employer is only beginning to learn his duty toward the victims of industrial acei- dents. The prosperity of our laboring classes is such that the need has probably never been so startling as in some of the nations of Europe. and even then our social legislation is decidedly backward. Since the wages of young children are so often the sole support of fatherless families, it is time that employers’ obligations be brought more forcibly to public. attention. Yet these light operas arc written in a light vein, are rich in melody and orchestration and it is not necessary to be a musician in order to appreciate them. ‘The ‘applause after a number is the surest sign of an audience’s appreciation, but what do we usually find at a light opera per- formance? We find the best music passed over for something inferior, in a lighter vein, which gets a great amount of applause. Go to band concerts, light operas, musical comedies and every body will clap their hands for a simple, eatchy composition, but when some- thing is given showing originality and distinction the applause is very light. If people fail to appreciate this class of light music, how can they appreciate the classical ?

MATTHEW HENSON, the trusted follower of Lieutenant Peary, who shared with his chief the honor of reaching and locating the north- ernmost point of the earth, called the North Pole, is obtaining » prac- tieal demonstration of the comparitive degree of popular esteem that is to be accorded him by the general population on his native heath, where icebergs and polar bears are only things to haunt the dreams of Little Nemos and color the imaginations of bigger folks. Pending the settlement of the bitter and long-drawn North Pole controversy between Commander Peary and Doctor Cook, Mr. Peary has decided to forego ull publie funetions in his honor and to give no public lectures on his achievement, but ambitious amusement direetors have induced Mr. Henson, his colored assistant, to brave the lecture platform in the hope of reaping some of the dollars which his chief is willing to sacrifice for the present. Mr. Henson started his proposed tour in one of the big Eastern cities last week, and his first address drew an audience of exactly seventy-nine persons. Mr. Henson appeared under a white manager, in a big hall where white people give their entertainments and catered to the general publie, just as a white lecturer would have done, The result was a frosty reception whieh must have made Mr. Henson feel as though he were back in Btah, in, Eskimo Land, where the thermometer registers sixty degrees below zero and the artic nights are six months long. In fact, it was not a cold day, but Mr. Henson and his manager, in their hasty enthusiasm, merely misjudged the sen- timent of the white American public, which absolutely refuses to ac- cord open and sincere glory to a Negro, no matter what he may do to deserve it. At the moment of happening it may land his courage and acknowledge his exceptional qualities, but its ardor cools faster than the Negro can travel homeward, when it remembers that his glory must he compared with that which some white man might have enjoyed. Deep down in their hearts a majority of the American white people have seeret bags of green fluid which the exceptionally honorable achievements of black men set flowing, and no Negro, however great has ever been able to turn it red. Mr. Henson’s manager remarked to his first audience that the volored people had been criticised for showing less interest in the higher scientific achievements of their representatives than in the success of a certain popular, dark skinncd athlete now before the public, but that the white people, by their meagre attendance, did not place themselves above criticism. The truth is that Mr. Henson can have an audience among his own people if he will come to their halls and churehes and show his scenes and tell his story. He ean have crowds to see and hear him, but there will be room enough for all the white people who sin- cerely wish to accord him glory. In no other way can he get a mea- sure of his due, for it is easier for a Negro to reach the North Pole than to cross the frozen sea of American prejudice which divides the glory of his achievements from that which the white man reserves to himself, THE LIBERIAN COMMISSION. JMENT is made that the Liberian ( republic in Africa last Spring for tions there for the information of filed its report in the office of the | uit the exact nature of its findings | lomatie reasons, perhaps, the cond and its recommendations regarding should assume in the premises are | ideration of the President and his ANNOUNCEMENT is made that the Liberian Commission which visited the Negro republic in Africa last Spring for the purpose of in- vestigating conditions there for the information of the United States government, has filed its report in the office of the Secretary of State at Washington, but the exact nature of its findings has not been made public. For diplomatie reasons, perhaps, the conditions revealed to the commission, and its recommendations regarding the position that this government should assume in the premises are being reserved for the official consideration of the President and his cabinet when the present tour of the executive shall have ended and he shall have again taken up the duties of state at Washington. There can be no doubt that the claims and asserted interests of strong European governments must be touched upon in any general consideration of this matter, and the grounds ‘upon which the commission was created make it probable that the administration will be required to deal carefully with a matter probably involying international difficulties. The private statement of one of the commissioners indicates that the commission reached the conclusion that the Liberian government should have the aetive protec- tion of the government of the United States for the preservation of its rightful territory against the growing encroachments of stronger na- tions, and its physical and financial help in policing that territory and in paying off a combersome national debt and in making internal de- velopment a practical possibility. American capital will be desired to take the place of that which now, in the form of debt, holds the little republic in the constant fear of being swallowed by the grasping inter- ests of European governments, where no sentimental reason or real ob- ligation exists favoring the preservation of Liberia as an independent wovernment The natural resources of the country are such as to give abundant assurance of the safety of liberal investments made under the moral protection of a strong government like the United States, and if Amer- ican capitalists can be induced to lay out three or four mrillion dollars and take over the debt of the Liberian government, under sych moral protection, the future of the republic as well as the rich reward of the vapitalists, it is felt, will be assured. Any favorable action taken by the United States ought to stimulate interest among American Negroes in the government which is bound to stand as the most representative ef their natural capacities and intellectual and governmental possibili- ties. Even in a financial way the Negroes of the United States might subseribe to a fund founded upon a proposition similar to that upon which it is proposed to found postal savings banks, with great profit to themselves and with unlimited favor to their struggling brethren. ‘A more direct seheme than this, however, will be probable, if any fa- yorable action is decided upon by the government of the United States.

There are 10,000 Negroes in Denver, and if each should subscribe for 10 shares of The Negro Townsite and Land Company's stock and pay one dollar down, and one dollar monthly for nine months, in less than 90 days Dr. Washington's advice would be in action, and the foundation for the future of our children, now in the public schools, would be laid.

THE NEGRO TOWNSITE AND LAND COMPANY. 119 23d Street, Denver, Colo. WASHINGTON BANQUETED. Aside from Booker T. Washington's address at the tabernacle, the most brilliant feature of his visit in Denver was the banquet held in the lecture room of Shorter's ater the lecture Monday night. A new or Denver's leading citizens responded to toasts in keeping with the occasion. A. G. Falling was the toastmaster and stated to begin with that, on account of the late hour, no speaker would be allowed more than five minutes, and to show that he meant what he said, he appointed Bishop Grant timekeeper. Captain Campbell was the first speaker and responded in an eloquent manner to the toast "Our Guest." To say that the captain spoke in his characteristic manner is enough. C. A. Franklin made a clean cut, pointed speech in response to the toast, "The Press." J. W. Jackson was introduced as the most complex citizen of Denver. He spoke on Colorado politics. Dr. Westbrook was at his best and all Denver knows what that means. He spoke on the National Negro Business League in Colorado and pleased his audience to the highest. Lawyer J. H. Stuart, of whom Wolcott said, "He reasons well and speaks eloquently," spoke witty and happily to the toast, "The Bar," and was heartily applauded. Mr. Washington was the last speaker and for about twenty minutes spoke masterly on the things that so nearly concern the Negro men, and made a lasting impression upon them with his wisdom and great personality. The affair was for men only, and a hundred were present. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON EN TERTAINED AT BREAKFAST. Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. McWilliams at 9 o'clock breakfast Tuesday morning, November 2nd, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Morrison at 834 Fox street. The novel decorations were novelly displayed, the dining room being decorated with the Tuskegee school colors. The parlor was decorated with ferns and carnations, while the reception hall was decorated with green. Just before the guest proceeded to the dining room, Mr. McWilliams sang a solo. While dining, Miss Maybelle Price delightfully entertained with rich soft music. Mrs. McWilliams, assisted by Mrs. Morrison, very gracefully served the breakfast, which consisted of four courses. Master Marshall Murphy, who met the guest at the gate and escorted him to the door, deserves great credit for the way in which he displayed his part. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Kizzee, who so kindly lent a helping hand. The following guests were present: Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Abraham Grant, Dr. R. E. Park, Mr. N. B. Hunt, Rev. A. M. Ward, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Mr. A. G. Falling, Mr. J. D. D. Rivers, Mr. J. W. Jackson, Rev. A. E. Reynolds, Mr. P. J. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. McWilliams. Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams are both graduates of Tuskegee, and their marriage ceremony was performed in Dr. Booker T. Washington's residence at Tuskegee, Ala., just one day after Mrs. McWilliams graduated. Booker T. Washington Addresses the Denver Teachers' Club. The members of the Denver Teachers' Club, who heard the address delivered by Booker T. Washington yesterday afternoon, are now able to understand why many capable judges consider the great Negro the foremost of American educators. The big audience, which filled every seat in the auditorium of the East Side High school and many of whom stood during the entire address, was held for nearly an hour to the closest attention, not by the eloquence of the speaker, for Mr. Washington is not an eloquent speaker, but by the fact that a man who had a mission and who believed in his mission was pouring out his very soul for their benefit. After listening to an address by Booker T. Washington, it is hard to believe in the existence of the Negro problem. Any open-minded person who listens to the plans which this man has evolved for the uplift of his race, who sees what a broad, clear-minded view he takes of the Negro question and how readily he admits that ultimate settlement of the problem rests not with the white but with the black race, cannot but feel that were Booker T. Washington a type, and not an exception, there would indeed be no Negro question to settle. "Industrial Education" was the subject of Washington's address and the lesson he had for the teachers was the "study of things as well as of books." Although the illustrations used and examples of results cited by the speaker were all taken from his school at Tuskegee, the impression nevertheless was conveyed to the auditors that as far as educational methods are concerned there is much to learn from Booker Washington, who saw the great need of his people along educational lines and started out to provide for that need by establishing an educational institution which is today the model industrial school of the world.

When life to you is dire and mean, When troubles cause your heart to pain, When future hopes seem all in vain, Try and keep your conscience clean. Some day the golden sun will beam Upon the spot so long unseen. When your friends deceive their pledge, When exquisite thought declines to shine, Content your mind as you think best And give your heart a chance to rest. Some day the spot so long unseen Will glimmer with an amazing scene. God is always willing to bless Those who live as he requests. Melancholy days which cause you pain Make happy your home in heaven un- seen Where the golden sun shall forever gleam Upon the spot so long unseen.

Mayor Volked, who is a cattle dealer, has had to decide a case of this kind, and after inspecting the bride decided that the bridegroom must pay the parents at the rate of half a dollar for each pound that the bride weighed. This verdict was accepted, and the woman weighing 86 pounds the bridegroom handed over the equivalent of $43 after which the wedding ceremony was performed.

PRESIDENT FAVORS PROJECT Promises the Present Administration Will Support Issuance of Federal Bonds If Fourteen-Foot Pro. gram Proves Feasible. New Orleans, Nov. 1.—Ringing demands for “14 feet through the val- ley” and elaborate argument in sup- port of the program for the creation of a deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf have marked the great con- vention of the Deep Waterway asso- ciation that opened here Saturday. President Taft, Vice-President Sher- man, Speaker Cannon, governors of th Mississippi valley states, innumer- able senators and representatives and a mighty throng of private citizens who believe in the big river project are here and all urge that it be un- dertaken and carried to a speedy con- clusion. President Taft Promises Support. President Taft, who arrived in New Orleans escorted by a great flotilla, after an illuminating trip down the Mississippi river from St. Louis, land- ed from the lighthouse tender Olean- der about eight o'clock Saturday morning, and was driven to his ho- tel through streets that were cano- pied with magnolia branches, palmet- toes and southern moss, and eyery- where entwined in the decorations were the mottoes “Fourteen Feet Through the Valley” and “River Rate Regulation Is Rate Regulation.” At the Athenaeum in the afternoon the president aroused a storm of cheers by promising that if the 14-feet project proved feasible and advisable, the present administration would favor the issuance of government bonds to defray the cost. Not for a “Pork Barrel.” At the same time Mr. Taft made it plain that he would not stand for,any plan to make a “pork barrel” of the project. He said he opposed any such general bond issue of $500,000; 000 or $1,000,000,000 for waterways improvement, the money to be cut up and parceled out to different sec- tions. He declared that the improve- ment of waterways had been carried forward in a haphazard fashion in Superior Laundry ALL HAND WORK. a J. W.

It is all a part of a still great- er movement inaugurated by Theo- dore Roosevelt, and properly called by him the conservation of our .na- tional resources. “The projects for irrigation and for the improvement of waterways in the future are not to be for the purpose of distributing ‘pork’ to every part of the country. Every meagure is to be adopted on the ground that it will be useful to the whole country. They are not to be adopted for sending certain congressmen back to Wash- ington or for making certain parts of the country profitable during the ex- penditure of the money. “We should take up every compre- henstve project on its merits and de- termine whether the country where the project is to be carried out has so far deevloped as to justify the enor- mous expenditure of money and if it will be useful when done. When we decide in fayor of a project, I believe in issuing bonds to carry it to com- pletion as rapidly as possible.

Kavanaugh Opens Convention. William K. Kavanaugh of Missouri, president of the association, called the convention to order Saturday morning and set forth briefly the aims and plans of the organization. He said the deep waterway work is now in this condition: 1. The sanitary district of Chicago has built the deep waterway, practi- cally to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and $60,000,000 have been spent thus far on the work. 2, The entire route ot the lakes-to- the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to New Orleans, through the Des Plaines river, the Illinois river and the Mis- sissippi river, has been surveyed un- der direction of congress by United States engineers, who have officially reported to congress that the building of the deep waterway is feasible. 3. The people of the state of Illi- nois haye adopted a constitutional amendment providing for a bond {s- sue of $20,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing the deep water- way southward from Joliet. 4. A bill introduced by United States Representative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri is now pending in congress, providing for the issuance by the United States government of bonds to the amount of $500,000,000, the money to be spent in constructing this deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf and other meritorious projected river improvements. 5. It is intended to ask the Sixty- first congress to pass a bill providing definitely that the United States goy- ernment undertake the construction of the deep waterway from the point where the Illinois work will end, to the Gulf of Mexico. In the afternoon, following the ad- dress of President Taft, Clifford Pin- chot, head of the government forestry department, made an address on the conservation of the nation’s natural resources. In the evening the delegates to the convention were entertained at astag smoker by the Progressive union of New Orleans. This evening all the delegates and the ladies accompany- ing them were the guests of the Pro- gressive union at the New Orleans Opera house, where “La Julye” was given by the French Opera Com- pany.

A political canvasser called at a home the other day and inquired as to the political affiliations of the man of the house. “Oh, well,” said the housewife, “he's everything. He's nice when he’s away, and he's not so nice at other times.’ “But about politics,” said the can- vasser. “Is he a Democrat or'a Re- publican?” “Well, it depends on who he ts with,” said the lady. “If it's policy to be a Democrat when he’s with Dem- ocrats, he's a Democrat, and when he's with Republicans he’s a Repub- lican.”” “I understand,” persisted the can- yasser, “but between ourselves, what is he at home?” “Oh, at home he’s a perfect terror.” “¢ ] bi 99 /Olumbpine ZANG’S New Table Beer ee a PENVEN'S LEADING BRAND OF BOTTLED BEER Columbine Beer Is guaranteed absolutely pore Tx Bample Case and you will use me other TELEPHONE 1285 The Ph.

Judge Norman Moore of Maben, Miss., came into the limelight as an impromptu rhymer for the first time when he performed the ceremony that made James Davis and Bettie Johnson man and wife. Here are his exact words: "Jim will you take Bet Without any regret, To love and cherish Until one of you perish. And is laid under the sod, So help you God?" The groom replied in the affirmative. Then, turning to the bride, Judge Moore said: "Bet, will you take Jim And cling to him, Both out and in, Through thick and thin Holding him to your heart Until death do you part?" The bride blushed in consent and the twain went their way rejoicing. A girl never feels more important than when she is getting married, and a man never looks more inconspious. He Stopped in Time. Little Bob's father was fond of telling bear stories to his little boys. One evening he was telling a thrilling one about a bear chasing a little girl, and "how he crept nearer and nearer and nearer." At this point Bob caught his father's arm, and, with the big tears falling down his cheeks, he cried, "Oh, father, don't tell any more. He might catch her."—The De-lineator.

HENRY HOLM, 134 South Ninth Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. The Best Food for Workers. The best food for those who work with hands or brain is never high priced. The best example of this is found in Quaker Scotch Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourishment and vigor, without taxing the digestion, and yet it is the least expensive food one can eat. This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat. Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food. All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Professor Fisher of Yale University in 1908. In addition to the regular package Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in large size family packages either with or without china dishes. DOUBLE SARCASM Old Crab—What be ye doin' araound this place, eh?

Cobb, the chief editorial writer of the New York World, was on a vacation in the Maine woods once when Joseph Pulitzer, owner of the World, wanted to communicate with him. Mr. Pulitzer sent Cobb a cipher message. Presently a country operator drove in to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb the message, which read something like this: "Simplicity—aggrandizement — griffon—gerald—roderick — hopscotch—hamfat—publicity." "There's a dollar to collect for delivering that message," said the operator, "but I hate to take it. Somebody along the line got it all balled up, and they ain't no sense to it." The Rare Gift of Courtesy. Courtesy includes not merely social kindness, graces of speech, absence of rudeness, but honorable treatment of business associates and of all the fellow citizens with whom a man of affairs may have business to transact. It is not American to keep one citizen waiting all day at the door because he is poor, and to grant another citizen an interview because it is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not confined in a purse, and frequently much wisdom may be learned from a poor man. A. Long-Panter. Mary, aged 14, was found one day by an older sister sobbing and crying. "What is the matter?" she asked, with great concern. "Three boys have asked me to go to the dance to-night," was the unexpected reply. "Well, my dear child, certainly that is not such a terrible misfortune." "Yes; but I told the first one I would go with him, and the last one was a long-panter."-Harper's. Unusual Luck. "So you've rented that haunted house which was on your hands so long?" "Yes; rented it to an actor." "Did he find out its reputation?" "That's the very thing that decided him to take the house." "Rather surprising!" "He said it would be such a comfort for him to get inside of a house where the ghost walked every night." Heartless Parent Again. Beautiful Girl — Gardener, don't make a flower bed there. It will spoil our croquet ground." Gardener — Can't help it, miss. Them's my orders. Your father says he is going to have this garden devoted to horticulture, not husbandry. THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But Postum Always Means Health. Those who have never tried the experiment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happiness can learn much from the experience of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: "I drank coffee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give up the use of coffee entirely, but found it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. "It was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years. I improved immediately after I left off coffee and took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and other troubles all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented and all because I changed from coffee to Postum. "Postum is much easier to make right every time than coffee, for it is so even and always reliable. We never use coffee now in our family. We use Postum, and are always well." "There's a reason" and it is proved by trial. Look in pkgs for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

Slocum of Colorado College has gone to New York to direct the eastern campaign for funds for the Palmer memorial statue. A condemnation suit was started on the 28th ult. by the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad against fifteen property owners along the right of way between Greeley and Evans. A number of Norwegians in northern Illinois have taken an option on a tract of land in Beaver Park, Fremont county, and propose to establish a colony for the purpose of engaging in gardening and fruit raising. In order to stop, if possible, the alarming increase in desertions, Judge Ben B. Lindsey and the county commissioners of Denver will try the plan of sending requisitions after men who desert their families, bringing them back to Colorado and giving them full jail sentences. A fine filly has been shipped to William Jennings Bryan from the horse breeding station of the Agricultural college at Fort Collins. It is a yearling sired by the famous Carmon and was selected by Mr. Bryan at the time of his visit last summer. The dam was donated to the college by ex-Governor Adams and the colt was his property. Secretary McCreery of the Greeley Commercial club received a telegram from the Department of Agriculture, asking if Greeley could supply 300 bushels of culled potatoes to be used in its distillery department. It is believed they are to be used in the manufacture of denatured alcohol. Farmers will fill the order at 25 cents per 100. f. o. b. Greeley. Land seekers from Iowa startled a band of twenty-six wild antelope, feeding on the Purcell ranch in northern Weld county a few days since, when their automobile suddenly bore down on the band. Eight years ago there were few antelope on the plains, but the game laws have had the desired effect. Antelope now roam in the unsettled districts in big bands and are quite tam. The county commissioners of Weld county have fixed the general county tax levy at 22 mills, out of which the state gets 4.1 mills and the general school tax 3 mills. The Greeley town tax is 21 mills and with other taxes the levy on Greeley property for the coming year is 66 mills. In Evans taxpayers will pay 81 mills, at Ault 71.5 mills, in Eaton 69 mills, and at Windsor 68 mills. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad has abolished its general detective agency in Denver, which has been operated for years under the direction of Cyrus W. Shores. The work henceforth will be carried on under the supervision of the several division superintendents, with Assistant General Manager W. S. Martin overseeing the work. The entire force of detectives is to be retained. The Burlington railway has completed negotiations with the city of Denver whereby that line agrees to build the subway under its double track across the county road northeast of Riverside cemetery. The city and Adams county will grade up to either side of the track, expending $1,000, on condition that the road dig the subway and put in a superstructure for a 50-foot dirt roadway. The New York Tribune will soon receive a memento of Greeley's early days, in an adobe, sun-baked brick taken from the old Greeley Tribune office, built in 1870, now being torn down. In this building was published for thirty-three years the newspaper of which N. C. Meeker, former agricultural editor of the New York Tribune, was editor. Horace Greeley also contributed to the Greeley paper. The New York Tribune first proposed the founding of the colony. Following the recent acquittal of Engineer O. H. Lessig on a charge of manslaughter, the assistant district attorney at Colorado Springs has nolled similar cases against the other members of those Rio Grande train crew who were held responsible by a coroner's jury for the recent collision at Husted. The defendants benefiting by this action are Engineer W. H. Hollingsworth, the conductor, J. L. Dalton; Brakeman C. S. Mellherne and Fireman J. M. Wright. All live in Denver. Twelve persons were killed and 62 were injured in the wreck at Husted August 14. Believing that the "lip and leg" disease from which sheep in Wyoming are said to be suffering is not the same ailment which is causing sore mouths among the lambs in Colorado just at present, and that for this reason the government agents are wrong in quarantining Colorado lambs on interstate shipments, Dr. Charles G. Lamb, veterinary surgeon for the State Stock Inspection Board, has gone to Washington to consult with Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the government bureau of animal husbandry. The Postoffice Department has accepted the proposal of John Nolan and Lee Becker, administrators of the estate of Jacob Becker, to lease the present postoffice quarters at Cripple Creek for three years from January 1, 1910, including equipment, heat, light and water. J. D. Stack, division superintendent of the Colorado & Southern at Trinidad for three years, has resigned to accept the position of assistant superintendent of the Sacramento division of the Southern Pacific.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. SHOWED HIS HERO WORSHIP Surely Nothing Wrong Could Go Forth from Lips That Were His Veneration. Allen has a strong admiration for soldiers. He seldom misses a military parade and his childish fancy has so idealized the boys in blue that he considers them little short of perfection. Not long ago his mother took him to see an/elderly friend of hers—a sweet-faced, silver-haired woman, who is the widow of a veteran of the civil war. Before arriving at the house Mrs. Parker told Allen this bit of her friend's history, and consequently the boy accorded this beautiful woman the most reverent attention. In discussing a certain current subject of literary interest the two women had a mild difference of opinion, and Allen's regard for brass buttons would not long permit him to listen in silence. "Mamma," he asked in gently reproachful tones after he had fidgeted a moment in his chair, "don't you think a soldier's wife ought to know?" —From the Housekeeper. RASH ALL OVER BOY'S BODY. Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on Little Sufferer—A Score of Treatments Prove Dismal Failures. Cure Achieved by Cuticura. "My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible, and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more physicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see a change in him. In about two months he was entirely well. George F. Lambert, 139 West Centre St., Mahanoy City, Pa., Sept. 26 and Nov. 4, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. How to Care for the Child. Perplexed mother writes: "My child has sneezing fits after the morning sponge bath. What would you advise?" Some mothers give their babies a hypodermic of morphine for sneezing. But we have always felt that this was too harsh a remedy. Give the baby about three tablespoonfuls of Old Tom gin with a little sugar and a pinch of lemon peel. The sugar makes this remedy more grateful to the child.

THE Colorado For the Hostess Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds, by a Recognized Authority Pretty Blouses ALMOST any blouse materials may be made up like these; they are however, specially suited to tussore or washing silks. The first has bretelles with a wide hem each side, and small tucks in the center, the front and back being plain in center; the high collar is of the material slightly rucked; the Peter Pan collar of embroidered lawn. The sleeves are somewhat uncommon, tucks being made down outside of arm and the tight-fitting lower part is tucked three times; turn-up cuffs are worn to match collar. Material required: Three yards 34 inches wide. The other blouse is trimmed to simulate a side fastening; the scalloped piece edged with lace frilling being fixed on under a tuck; the actual fastening is under the center box-plait that is trimmed with buttons in sets of threes; frills of lace finish the neck and sleeves. Material required: Three yards 34 inches wide, two and three-fourths yards lace, two dozen buttons. A Tramp Party. "Now, for a tramp party," exclaimed the clever matron to whom we all looked for novel sensations when it came to entertaining, "and we'll combine it with a penny walk." So last year just about this time the party was given which I am about to describe. It hardly seems possible that it has been almost a twelve-month since the above remarks were made. It was not practical to use the suggestion for the department then, so I have waited for the glorious September days to return. The invitations were issued on brown wrapping paper sealed with red wax and the time was "Saturday afternoon at three sharp." The guests were told to wear tramping costumes and each man to bring a bright, new penny. Of course, all this excited curiosity. There were just eight couples and the hostess saw that each couple was congenially mated. It was a lovely suburban place with winding streets, hills and dales; just the place for this party. The men compared watches and the hostess explained that they were to walk for one hour, all making the start together, but at the very first corner each man was to toss his penny to decide the direction he and his partner were to take. "Heads" meant to go to the right, "tails" to the left. At every corner, the penny was to decide the direction. Instructions were given to write a three-minute description of the walk. The first couple to arrive at the expiration of the hour was to have a reward, and every minute overtime was to be paid for in pennies at the rate of one a minute, the money going to the hostess' pet charity fund. A half hour late would bar from competition in the prize stories. It was a very jolly, hungry party that arrived and very amusing stories resulted which were read or related by the "tramps" around the table when a most bountiful supper was served. The hostess used small tables, seating four persons at each, and the day being warm, the repast was served on the porch, which was made a perfect bower of golden rod decked with wild lavender asters that bloom so plentifully now. All you have to do to find this wealth of autumn glory is to go by street car or railroad about a score of miles into the country. After supper a fire was built in the fireplace and candles lit, the men smoked and the girls discussed winter plans. All left at eight o'clock, delighted with the "tramp" party. Country hostesses in search of a novelty may be sure of a delightful success in giving a party along these lines. An Introduction Party. To break the ice at a party where the guests are unknown to each other try this plan: At a large meeting of a college fraternity, the chairman of the social committee requested each one who was to be presented to send her the name in full. There were nearly 50 people present and there were tally cards tied with the fraternity colors, each having a large number. On the reverse side of the cards given the men were the names of the girls present and the girls' cards had the names of the men. The acting hostess explained that there would be no formal introductions, that when a man or a girl thought he or she had discovered "who was who" the name, or rather the number opposite the name, was to be marked. To the one who made the largest number of "correct" acquaintances a prize was awarded, and there were special prizes for discovering the fads or peculiarities of guests. This is really a most jolly and effective method of placing a large number of strangers at their ease. Way to Find Partners. Of course, it was the pretty little wife of a newspaper editor who tried this way of mating partners for a large progressive party. She took "ads." from the Sunday paper and pasted them on dainty cards, distributing them so that every "want" would be supplied. For instance: "Wanted—Young girl, not over 16, to learn bookkeeping in the office of a wholesale house" was answered by the guest who held the "ad." saying that a young girl wished to learn bookkeeping. Choosing these "ads," cleverly results in a very funny time before the real business of the evening begins, or should I say "entertainment?" To tell the truth, I have been to some parties lately that make the word "business" seem more appropriate than anything else, for the way some women play bridge and other games causes me to think that the ultimate end of parties, recreation and pleasure has been forgotten. Nowadays entertaining seems like real work not only for the hostess, but for the guests. Chinese Dinner Menu. What the Chinese serve at dinner is a question often asked, so Mme. Merril is delighted to give the menu served by the Chinese government to the American fleet. The menu was printed on a fan and will be preserved as a most interesting souvenir by those who were fortunate enough to be guests at the strange feast at Amoy: Birds' Nest Soup.
