THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE MANFARTHEST DOWN CHILD LABOR AND SULPHUR MINES. FIFTH ARTICLE BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. VOL. XVII. THE MA THEST CHILD LABOR AND SULPHU BY BOOKER These instances of skilled labor among children are by no means exceptional. At another time I remember stopping to look at a little boy who, it seemed to me, could not be more than eight or nine years of age, working side by side with a man, evidently his father, together with several other men, all of them engaged in building a boat. The boy I speak of was engaged in finishing off with a plane the hardwood rail of the sides of the boat, and as I watched him at his task I was again compelled to wonder at the ease and skill with which these little fellows use their tools. All these things, as I have said, gave me an idea of the manner in which the trades were carried on before the extensive use of machinery had brought the factory s system into existence. It showed me also the easy way in which, in those days, the industrial education of children was carried on. When the work in the handicrafts was performed in the house, or in a shop adjoining the house, it was an easy thing for the father to hand down to the son the trade he himself had practiced. Under the conditions in which trades are caried on in Sicily today children are literally born to the trade which their fathers practice. In these homes, where the shop and home are crowded together in one or two rooms, children see their fathers and mothers at work from the time they are born. As soon as they are able to handle a tool of any kind the boys, at any rate, and frequently the girls also, are set to work helping their parents. As the father, in his turn, has probably inherited the accumulated traditions and skill of generations that preceeded him in the same trade, his children are able to get from him, in the easiest and most natural way, an industrial education such as no other kind of school can give. ```markdown ``` Whatever may be the disadvantages of the people of Sicily in other respects, they have an advantage over the Negro in learning the skilled trades, the value of which it is difficult to estimate. Everywhere one sees the evidences of his skill with the hand, not only in the public buildings, but in some of the common objects of daily use. I have already re- ferred to the way in which the ordinary little two-wheeled carts, which take the place of the ordinary farmer's wagon in this country, are decorated. I have seen in Catania men at work practically hewing these carts out of the log. I do not know to what extent the frame of the wagon is hewn out in this way, but, at any rate, the spokes are. Every detail is worked out with the greatest possible skill, even to the point of carving little figures of faces at the ends of the beams that make the frames. Likewise the harness of the donkeys that draw these carts is an elaborate and picturesque affair which must require a vast amount of patience and skill to make. The point I wish particularly to emphasize here is that all this skill in the handicrafts, which has become traditional in a people, is the best kind of preparation for every kind of higher education. In this respect the Italian, like the Japanese and Chinese, as well as every other race which has had centuries of training in the handicrafts, has an advantage over the Negro that can only be overcome when the masses of the Negro people have secured a training of the hand and a skill in the crafts that correspond to those of other races. Not only are children, especially boys, employed at a very age in all the trades I have mentioned, but young boys from fourteen to sixteen perform, as I have said, in the mines and elsewhere an incredible amount of crude, rough work of the community. I remember, one day in Palermo, seeing, for the first time in my life boys who were certainly not more than fourteen years of age, engaged in carrying on their backs earth from a cellar that was being excavated for a building. Men did the work of digging, but the mere drudgery of carrying the earth from the bottom of the excavation to the surface was performed by these boys. It was not simply the fact that mere children were engaged in this heavy work that impressed me. It was the slow, dragging steps, the fixed and unalterable expression of weariness that showed in every line of their bodies. Later I learned to recognize this as the habitual manner and expression of the carusi which is the name that the Italians give to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 29 1911. those boys who are employed in the sulphur mines to carry the crude ore up from the mines where it is dug and to load it in the cars by which it is conveyed to the surface. The work in a sulphur mine is organized in many respects, I learned, like that of a coal mine. The actual work of digging the sulphur is performed by the miner who is paid by the amount of crude ore he succeeds in getting out. He, in his turn, has a man or boy, sometimes two or three of them, to assist him in getting the ore out of the mine to the smelter, where it is melted and refined. As I myself had had some experience as a boy in work similar to this in the mines of West Virginia, I was interested in learning all I could in regard to these boys and the conditions under which they worked. In the case of boys employed for this work, the Sicilians have a custom of binding out their children to the miner, or picconiero, as he is called. Such a boy is then called, in the language of the country, a caruso. As a matter of fact, a picconiero who buys a boy from his parents to employ him as a caruso actually purchases a slave. The manner in which the purchase is made is as follows: In Sicily, where the masses of the people are so wretchedly poor in everything else, they are nevertheless especially rich in children, and, as often happens, the family that has the largest number of mouths to fill has the least to put in them. It is from these families that the carusi are recruited. The father who turns his child over to a miner receives in return a sum of money in the form of a loan. The sum usually amounts to from eight to thirty dollars, according to the age of the boy, his strength and general usefulness. With the payment of this sum the child is turned over absolutely to his master. From this slavery there is no hope of freedom, because neither the parents nor the child will ever have sufficient money to repay the original loan. Strange and terrible stories are told about the way in which these boy slaves have been treated by their masters. Before coming to Sicily I had met and talked with persons who described to me the processions of half-naked boys, their bodies bowed under the heavy weight of the loads they carried, groaning and cursing as they made their way up out of the hot and sulphurous holes in the earth, as they carried the ore from the mines to the smelter. All that I had heard elsewhere was confirmed later by the details furnished by official reports and special studies of conditions in the mining regions, made at different times and by different persons. In these reports I learned that the mines had been in the past the refuge of a debased and criminal population, whose vices made the bleak, sulpur smitten region where the mines are located as much like hell as it looks. (TO BE CONTINUED.) MME HACKLEY'S NEW SCHOOL Madame E. Azalia Hackley is in New York City during the month of July conducting a teacher's vocal institute of two daily sessions at 54 West 134th street. The pupils in this interesting institute are Miss Marjorie Groves, of Boston, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, who has been in charge of the Music Department of Livingstone College. She will become principal of the Music Department of the South Carolina State College at Orangeburg. Miss Bessie Patterson, a piano graduate of the Washington Conservatory of Music, and a teacher in the public schools of Austin, Texas, will teach and organize vocal classes in Texas. Miss Sue Ella Brown, of Henderson, Ky., a student of Walden University is also preparing herself to teach voice culture in a colored college. Miss Brown is a niece of Bishop and Mrs. Walters, A public demonstration and recital of the work of these three young vocal teachers will be given at the end of the course, which closes the last of July. They will have workod twenty-two hours the first week and twenty hours each succeeding week during the month. The studies embrace physical culture, psychology of singing, vocal mechanics and a course of teaching. Each will commit a different repertoire, which she will teach to the other two, thus obtaining three times what she learns alone. Madame Hackley expounds the new theory that to become a singer one must have first brains; second, breath; third, a voice. In the demonstration these young ladies, two of whom have never tried to sing, will prove what brains, education and will power will accomplish in developing a voice. Madame Hackley has visited seventy colored colleges since February. After retiring during the summer season she will organize vocal institutes in different sections of the country to train vocal teachers for colored schools. All this time she could place thirty vocal teachers if they were prepared. Madame Hackley's tour this year was a phenomenal success. Her demonstration song recitals and lecture musicales caught the public fancy and she gave a real RACE NEWS London, England.

Representative George Wilson of Quincy yesterday filed a motion for leave to file a petition for a writ of mandamus in the case of the people on the relations of Aaron Brown, colored, against the Board of School District No. 172 of Adams county, to compel the board of education to admit his children to the white school, known as the Dewey school in the neighborhood of the home.

Hill, the absconding cashier of the True Reformers' Bank, of Richmond. In a communication signed by J. Thomas Newsome and W. R. Griffin, asking that the State supplement the sum of $500 offered by the Order and by citizens, it is said that Hill's apprehension will doubtless "lead to our getting a number of others associated with him." The Governor directed that the State offer $200, making $700 in all. This increase, which was granted at the request of J. Thomas Newsome, W. R. Griffin and W. P. Burrell, will hold good for four months.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Representative George Wilson of Quincy yesterday filed a motion for leave to file a petition for a writ of mandamus in the case of the people on the relations of Aaron Brown, colored, against the Board of School District No. 172 of Adams county, to compel the board of education to admit his children to the white school, known as the Dewey school in the neighborhood of the home. Brown has two children, aged nine and twelve years, respectively. The board of education of Quincy built a school known as the Lincoln school, for the colored children of the city, but as it is one and three-fourths of a mile from Brown's home he refuses to send his children to that school, and the board of education will not admit them to the white school near Brown's home. In consequence the board of education has prosecuted Brown for not sending his children to school. The bills in the Sixty-second Congress concerning the Negro are a curious assortment. Byrd, of Mississippi, has a bill pending, designed to make it a crime for whites, Negroes and Mongolians to intermarry in the District of Columbia; Clark, of Florida, has a measure providing for "jim crow" street cars in the District; Hardwick, of Georgia, wants the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments abrogated, and Roddenbury, of Mississippi, will endeavor to restrict the congressional restaurant to white patrons. There is no chance that any of these bills will become law. They are brought forward merely as proof to the voters at home that their promoters are "sound on the question." Representative Roddenbury, by the way has joined the ranks of Congressmen who have assaulted colored men, a society adorned by Senator Stone, who slapped a waiter some time ago, and Congressman Heflin, who shot a Negro in Washington.

THERS' OOM er of Curtis COLORADO COAL PRODUCED IN THE WEST COLORADO RANKS FIRST OF STATES WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. SHOWS GOOD INCREASE LAS ANIMAS COUNTY IS MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCER IN COLORADO. In the production of coal Colorado ranks first among the states west of the Mississippi and seventh among all the coal-producing states, according to statistics just completed by Edward W. Parker of the United States Geological Survey. Its position among the Western states was strengthened by the record made in 1910, for although in some of the Rocky Mountain states there were larger percentages of increase in 1910 over 1909, Colorado's increase in tonnage was the largest and was more than one-third of the total increase made in the seven states comprising the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains provinces. In the Mississippi Valley states the production in 1910 was materially cut down by the miners' strike, which began on April 1 and was continued for nearly six months. The cessation of operations among the miners in the Southwestern states created an unusual demand upon the mines of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming, the demand coming principally from the railroad running between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi. There was also a better demand for domestic fuel and considerable quantities of coal for winter use were stored in the cellars of house holders. The influence of the strike on Colorado's coal production was exhibited in an increase of 11.73 per cent, from 10,716,936 short tons in 1909 to 11,973,736 tons in 1910. The value increased from $14,296,012 to $17,026,934, a gain of 19.1 per cent. The average price per ton advanced from $1.33 in 1909 to $1.42 in 1910. Las Animas County Yields Nearly Half of the Total. The Trinidad-Raton coal field, the Colorado portion of which is located in Las Animas county, is the most important producer in the state and was credited with more than three-fourths of the total increase for the state in 1910. This county produces nearly 50 per cent of Colorado's total, contributing 5,548,085 short tons in 1910. The county's increase in 1910 over 1909 was 955,121 short tons, or 20,79 per cent. Huerfano county, the second in production, with 20 per cent of the state's total increased its output 471,180 tons, or 24.59 per cent. Gain of 180 Per Cent in Routt County. Routt county held to the promise made in 1909 with an increase of nearly 180 per cent, from 92,439 tons in 1909 to 258,452 tons in 1910. This county in 1908 was credited with an output of 13,000 tons, the production in 1910 being about 20 times that quantity. The completion in 1909 of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific railway has afforded opportunity for the development of the coal resources in the northwestern part of Colorado, and Routt county is destined to be one of the more important coal-producing counties in the state. The only other county whose production increased more than 100,000 tons in 1910 was Fremont, which gafned 110,162 tons. The increases in these counties were partly offset by a marked decrease in Boulder county, the production of which in 1909 had been unheathily forced in a keen competition for the Denver trade. The output of this county was increased from 1,067,948 tons in 1908 to 1,332,322 tons in 1909, but with a decided sacrifice in prices. In 1910 the production fell off to 802,769 tons, a decrease of 529,553 tons, or 39.7 per cent, arr prices were restored. State Grange to Meet.

Earms: Show Increase. Washington. — Because of many statements during the Canadian reciprocity debate is of special interest the Census Bureau's anouncement of the latest general farm statistics of the United States showing that farms more than doubled in value during the last ten years, having increased $15,252,788,000 or 118 percent is of great interest. In 1900 they were valued at $13,051,033,000 and returns of the thirteenth census show they are now worth $23,384,821,000 DISCUSSES CONTROLLER BAY MATTER IN SPECIAL MESSAGE. NO MONOPOLY EXISTS SAYS THE THING THE TERRITORY OF ALASKA NEEDS IS DEVELOPMENT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—In a special message to the Senate President Taft shoulders full responsibility for opening for settlement and development 12,800 acres of the Chugach national forest reserve in Alaska—an incident which has come to be known as the "Controller Bay Affair." In concluding the brands the now famous "Dick to Dick" postscript as a "wicked fabrication" and says that Charles P. Taft, whose name appeared in the alleged postscript, "has no interest in Alaska, never had, and knows nothing of the circumstances connected with this transaction." Moreover, the President adds, his brother does not even remember that he ever met Richard S. Ryan, representing the Controller Railway and Navigation Company. As for eliminating the land in question from the reserve, the President says that there is no danger of the Controller Railway & Navigation Company or any other interests monopolizing the field, and nothing to show that this company is in any way connected with the Morgan-Guggenheim interests. "I wish to be as specific as possible upon this point," says the President in his message, "and to say that I alone am responsible for the enlargement of the proposed elimination from 320 acres to 12,800 acres, and that I proposed the change and stated my reasons therefor. "The thing which the territory of Alaska needs is development, and where rights and franchises can be properly granted to encourage investment and construct a railroad without conferring exclusive privileges, I believe it to be in accordance with good policy to grant them." He relates how Ryan, representing the Controller Railway & Navigation Company, applied in 1909 for the elimination of a tract to enable this company to secure railroad terminals, etc. The application was referred to the forestry bureau and then to the navy department with a view that perhaps the navy desired to use Controller bay as a reservation. The navy department's answer was "negative," says the President, and after the matter had been considered by the secretary of agriculture, by the secretary of the interior and the general land office, a recommendation was made to him that 320 acres with a frontage of 160 rods on the northwest shore of Controller bay be thrown open. A formal order to this effect was finally submitted to him in October, 1910, but when the matter came before the cabinet late in that month he found objection to it. His reasons for taking this stand he explains in his message in part as follows: "I expressed dissatisfaction with the order because it purported on its face to make the elimination for the benefit of a railroad company of a tract of land which the company could not by lawful entry secure, for it was a tract 320 acres in one body when only 160 acres could thus be acquired. In the second place, I preferred to make a much larger elimination of a tract facing the entire channel, and with sufficient room for a terminal railway town. I was willing to do this because I found the restrictions in the law sufficient to prevent the possibility of any monopoly of either the upland or the harbor or channel by the Controller Railway & Navigation Company or any other persons or company. Because of a lack of time sufficient to draft a memorandum myself, I requested the secretary of the interior, who, with the secretary of agriculture, after full discussion, had agreed in my conclusion, to prepare a letter setting forth the reasons for making the larger elimination, so that it might become a part of the record."

THE WAR DEPARTMENT has issued an order changing Fort Logan from a regular army post to a recruiting station, and Denver merchants are waking up to the fact that the result will be a considerable loss of a desirable volume of trade. A full staff of officers permanently located at a post like Fort Logan also creates a certain social feature to which the people of adjacent cities are seldom averse, but this distinction necessarily ceases with the passing of the post. It is now openly confessed that the written objection to colored soldiers being quartered at Fort Logan, sent to the War Department by officious citizens of Denver, who thought that the department had a right to regard their prejudices, has had much to do with the issuance of the order, the impression obtaining at Washington that this sentiment is general in Denver. We all know that certain local interests have tried hard to keep colored soldiers out of Fort Logan, but they possibly did not stop to consider that an army post is an army post, and that if it is not generally useful and desirable to the army it is an unwarranted extravagance. The regular army is strictly a national institution, conducted on national lines for national purposes, and its social and racial features are only incidentals. These incidental features, however, are as unalterable as any other part of the army regulations. As a result, Denver now finds that her foolish knockers have knocked Denver much harder than they knocked the black soldiers, for they have killed the post and permanently injured the city. We don't know how this species of bone-head Americans hatch their ideas and opinions regarding government institutions, but it is a sure thing that they don't deserve the respect of their communities nor the protection of the institution whose established policies they seek to dishonor and overthrow for their own narrow purposes. THE SCIENCE OF SOCIAL PROGRESS. MEN make very little progress, social or otherwise, through instinct or the exercise of blind passion arising out of selfish desires. Everything which marks humanity's permanent gain is wrought out by studious application to sound principles of science, that allow nothing to passion or prejudice or any of the involuntary weaknesses on which superficial social champions set such great store. Society has always had to struggle hard for its own improvement and the most strenuous effort has always been required against the laggard majority, that primarily foster and develop the weakness and ills which tend to keep the human race on a plane approaching the savage animal state. The intellectual minority, studying for the welfare of the whole, are responsible for the world's progress, and it is upon them and their patient, scientific struggle that we must rely for the attainment of every great improvement and every permanently beneficial change in the conditions under which we live. In other words, instinct preserves life, but does not improve it; progress is, therefore, entirely intellectual and scientific. America's race question is a great social problem which has been woefully muddled by sentiment, warped by passion and made doubly difficult and severe by instinctive prejudice and a peculiar character of hatred which seems to develop out of ignorance and fear on the part of the stronger and more favored element involved. The solution of the race problem rests primarily upon the white people, because they are most responsible for its creation, as well as for the perpetuation of this great social dilemma. That it must be solved by truly scientific treatment is beginning to be realized. That all efforts to hinder and thwart the natural and laudable ambitions of the Negro, and to hold him in educational and industrial check, are against the higher interests of society in general, is also beginning to be conceded. It is a plainly evident and natural law that all social progress must be limited so long as one element, because of physical and intellectual superiority, burdens itself with the restraint and subjection of a weaker element. Nor can this weaker element be left alone in its weakness without hampering and endangering the stronger element, because the general standard is made by an average of all allied social elements, and the lower become a drag-anchor from which the higher may not escape. So the repressive policies of the South, almost universally employed against the Negro since emancipation, are beginning to be criticised and condemned by progressive Southerners who see the necessity for a broader and more enlightened course on the part of the white man. That their task is an enormous and dangerous one does not deter them, for they see the salvation of the South and the advancement of the whole nation in its triumph. An outline of their campaign may be gleaned from an article in the Independent of New York, by Professor E. Banks of Newnan, Ga., who recently was compelled to resign his chair in the University of Florida, because of his liberal views on Southern questions. But his is the martyrdom of truth. It may be confidently prophesied that under the teaching of such men, there will be no Tillmans, no Vardemans, no Balleys in prominent public life in the South after another twenty years have passed. Number of Games Should be Reduced All Around By PAUL C. PHILLIPS, M. D. BELIEVE thoroughly in intercollegiate sport, but, in general, viewing the number of athletic contests occurring between colleges throughout the country, I should say unhesitatingly yes to this question. The tendency of the last twenty years has been toward the increase of intercollegiate contests in each sport, and the addition of new sports, until the number has passed the normal for an institution of higher learning. Schedules of over 25 games in term time in any branch of intercollegiate athletics certainly transcend the laws of proportion in college life. The general public recognizes that. BELLEVE thoroughly in intercollegiate sport, but, in general, viewing the number of athletic contests occurring between colleges throughout the country, I should say unhesitatingly yes to this question. The tendency of the last twenty years has been toward the increase of intercollegiate contests in each sport, and the addition of new sports, until the number has passed the normal for an institution of higher learning. Schedules of over 25 games in term time in any branch of intercollegiate athletics certainly transcend the laws of proportion in college life. The general public recognizes that. Any reduction in schedules concerns the scholarship, the physical condition and the ideals of the men on teams and the ideals and finances of the student body. All these factors should be given due weight, therefore, in determining their length. Of these scholarship, of course, stands paramount, but the views of athlete, manager, trainer and coach should receive due consideration and if possible a harmonious result obtained. For training and coaching a team a certain number of contests are necessary. Sufficient financial returns come only from a number of games. The interest of the student body in the sport is maintained only by a modicum of exhibitions. The ideal number of contests in each sport may be considerably less than that at present engaged in, but the reduction should not be made so suddenly as to lose the support of all concerned. History may be made too fast and have to be unmade. For instance, one may consider one game of baseball a week or ten in a season, the ideal for a college, but a reduction from twenty to eighteen the first year may be all that it would be wise to make. Schedules, however, should never be so long or require so many absences as to make special legislation on the part of the faculty for athletics necessary. This militates against the democracy of the college. The "delayed varsity season" plan suggested by Mr. Derby, a former Harvard varsity football player, in the Outlook last fall has much to commend it, especially its fostering of widespread collegiate sport. It consists in allowing only about four weeks for the varsity season in each sport previous to which there shall be as many teams as possible—interclass, interfraternity and what not—in which the athletic material shall get conditioned physically, learn the game and be tried out for the varsity squad. Intra-collegiate games having concluded, an end-of-the-season varsity series concludes the schedule. JOHN H. BURKE Pellagra is not hereditary Pellagra is not contagious. Pellagra Endemic Disease Rather Than Epidemic By GORDON LLOYD,M.D. Pellagra Endemic Disease Rather Than Epidemic By GORDON LLOYD, M.D. Strong evidence points to the "sand fly" as the agent responsible for the transmission of pellagra to human subjects in Italy. These statements are extracts from the reports of Dr. Sambon, who was sent by the pellagra investigation committee to Italy to investigate the pellagra situation there. There are more than twenty hospitals for the exclusive care of victims of pellagra in Italy, and Dr. Sambon carried his exhaustive studies into the provinces of Perugia, Rome, Padova, Milan, Brescia and Bergamo. He reports that the disease is endemic rather than epidemic, and that the centers of infection have remained the same for a century. He found that when a person affected by the disease moved into a non-pellagrous district no spread of pellagra occurred. He observed, hereover, that wherever pellagra was, there, too, was the sand fly, and that tillers of the soil who were most exposed to this fly were oftenest affected. The sand fly is a midge, or gnat. Whether we have the same kind of sand fly in this country that Sambon studied in Italy the writer is not prepared to say; but he is informed by a state entomologist that we have with us in the south a small gnat-like insect called the sand fly. Our sand fly, however, seems to be largely restricted to the coast country, not penetrating very far inland, as a rule. The puncky of the Adirondacks is one variety of said fly, also. Dr. Sambon's theory is that the sand fly is the carrier of the parasites of pellagra, whatever they are. The fact that the parasite of pellagra has not been identified does not necessarily count against his theory, because no one now doubts the role of the mosquito as the carrier of yellow fever, despite the fact that the germ of yellow fever has never been discovered. Are we about to add the gnat to the mosquito as the distributor of a great disease? All true southerners will pray that time may justify the sand fly theory of pellagra transmission and infection; for, like our beloved Joel Chandler Harris, whose tribute to the corn-meal dumpling is so full of charm, we hope long to cherish the hoecake and the pone. Those Who Succeed and Others By B. G. CLARKE Those Who Succeed and Others By B. G. CLARKE I am glad that some one has a good word to say for the members of the unfortunate class whom custom stigmatizes as "burns." When people get a little virtue their first instinct seems to be to blacken the character of others in order to secure a contrast which can show up their own imaginary white wings. The first man they meet who is penniless or sick falls a victim of their virulent vanity. No one who has seen life has missed the sight of some cheap braggart, elated with some little success, browbeating and arrogantly overpowering some poor fellow who happens to be less experienced, younger, older or otherwise at a disadvantage. I, for one, believe that phenomenal success or failure is accidental. While undoubtedly one of average ability and average industry stands an average show of meeting with average success, it does not follow that a needy man deserves his misfortune or that a billionaire is excessively virtuous. No polite man could sit at a table and devour all the good food in sight while others out of reach of the dishes sat fasting. The excessively rich need not worry as to whether the extremely poor are or are not deserving and appreciative. The giver gets his reward whether the recipient profits or not.

The two pretty bonnets shown here prove that ostrich plumes, and little roses in abundance, are perfectly all right in the hands of the trimmer who knows just how to mount them. The bonnet for the little miss is of a soft silk braid in blue with a border of silk on the underbrim.

June roses trim this sweet little model and Matching Sets of Separate Guimps and Undersleeves Will Be Found Useful Accessories. Separate guimpes and undersleeves made up in matching sets, are great additions to a limited wardrobe, for almost all summer gowns and bodices are made for these. A cheap filet lace in a rich cream, covered with black or white chiffon, is one good choice for these useful accessories. Have the neck collarless, and with either black or white use a bias of black satin for edges. Another set would be pretty in tucked white brussels net, and another set would be exquisite if made of cream batiste embroidered with white. Black and white striped calico makes the smartest and cleanest of practical petticoats. Get a good model, shape the skirt closely at the hips and trim it with a six-inch bias flounce, put on scantily. It must be laundered without starch. Gauze lise stockings are the best substitute that can be had for silk stockings. They are cool, elegant and cheap—three pairs for a dollar. Changing the buttons of a ready-made coat suit sometimes alters its character entirely. Criched buttons are much in favor, and they are large and round. There is nothing easier than to chochet covers for the wooden molds, or a cheap imitation Irish lace can be bought and put on. The molds must always be covered first with a thin silk. The Nightgown of Swiss. Quite a new and decidedly pretty innovation of feminine lingerie is the nightgown of sheer dotted Swiss and fine nainsook combined. Both fabrics are very appropriate for lingerie purposes and one wonders no one ever thought of combining them before. The dotted Swiss is used for the upper or yoke part and the sleeves while the plain cloth is utilized in the full skirt. This combination is especially pretty in making an empire style nightgown and the Swiss and nainsook are joined at the bust line by sheer ribbon run beading. The girl who makes her own undermusslins might vary this a little by using allover embroidery in place of the dotted Swiss. And any clever woman will see numberless pretty possibilities in combining the two materials. New Breakfast Cup. A pretty new shape for the girl who likes to make herself dalty caps is oblong in line. It is made from a strip of allover embroidery or lace—dotted muslin is pretty and cheaper—cut wider in the middle than at each end. It is finished with lace insertion about an inch wide and to this is overcast a ruffle of lace to match. The ruffle is wider in front, tapering slightly toward ends. The cap, when finished, falls low on hair back of ears, and is held there with a fluffy bow. To renovate a black chip hat, brush the hat well to remove the dust. Pour some olive oil into a saucer, and well brush hat all over. Place in front of fire to thoroughly dry in the oil. This is all that would be done if sent to a cleaner's. Should the brim be somewhat out of shape, wring a cotton cloth out of warm water, lay on, and press with a hot iron before applying oil a bouquet of them joins the ties. The tiny flowers captivate the fancy of the little girl and there is something irresistible about miniatures of all things. A bonnet with two short plumes is shown for an older girl. This is a lingerie model with little crochet balls, braid and motifs applied to the brim and crown. Batiste or swiss embroidery is used for the body of such hats. The brim facing is of thin silk laid on in plaits. The two soft short plumes are mounted against the crown with a cluster of small pink buds and foliage. This is a specially good shape and would be pretty made up in light millinery braids. Pincushion for the Woman Who Does Not Insist Upon Utility as Important Feature. A cushion for the woman who does not insist upon utility is made in the shape of a heart six inches at its widest part. It is cut from a heavy muslin, filled with wool or bran and covered with satin in any bright color. For the top make a much smaller heart from handkerchief linen or fine lawn, and work it with a delicate open design in Madeira embroidery. Use a fine white mercerized cotton, as the embroidery should be delicate. Sew a quarter-inch insertion of German Valenciennes to edge and join another strip of the insertion to lace an inch wide. Sew evenly without filling. Join the two sections by fagoting stitch in the same shade as the satin pincushion. This should be a half inch deep. The joining of the two parts must be done on a heavy paper, which has a heart the desired size of cover traced on it. PRETTY LACE WAIST. This most attractive waist is of white lace bordered with white satin. The corset is of the same lace headed by blue satin ribbon, prettily knotted at the side and ornamented with a little wreath of pink roses. The plastron and puffed undersleeves are of white tulle. Black Lace Parasols Revived. These, if covered with handsome Spanish lace, are never very moderate in price. Yet for $30 a style now comes that is reminiscent of our earliest girlhood. The exquisite pattern of the lace is set off to advantage by the lining of dead white chiffon cloth. A full, rippling ruffle of black chiffon and lace droops down over the frame. The handle is of black or black and white enamel combined with gunmetal. The same model may be had in all black, if desired. A black silk parasol with many ribs is finished along its edge with a deep silk fringe, giving much the same effect as the fluffy lace ruffle described above. This, however, is $10 less in cost than the other style.—Vogue. Two shades of blue, one very much lighter, are used on linen tailored suits. IDEAL CHINA DISPLAY CORNER CUPBOARD IS MOST SAT: ISFACTORY REPOSITORY. Combines Perfect Safety With Effective Background and Dignified Frame or Sitting for Delicate Treasures. By far the most beautiful and satisfactory repository for china is the old corner cupboard or buffet, which is found in all well built houses belonging to the latter half of the Eighteenth century. These cupboards were sometimes open, but more often had glass doors, frequently of great beauty. Here was every requisite for the ideal display of china. They combined perfect safety with an effective background and a dignified frame or setting for these delicate treasures. The arrangement massed their colors in a decorative panel, at the same time that it placed them low enough for leisurely enjoyment and accurate observation. Happily for us, this good old fashion is being revived in our modern houses and will soon become deservedly popular. Cupboards built into the wall space upon each side of the chimney afford occasion for a display of china which is architecturally delightful. Sometimes a built-in sideboard is used, or a less formal arrangement of shelves in a chimney recess, or inglenook. Again we find a carved wall cabinet, or a combination of plate shelves with a corner seat—all of which are modifications of what we may well call the panel arrangement. As to the border arrangement, the best instance of this is the plate rail at the top of a rather high wainscoting. It is an ideal location for patterns highly decorated in beautiful and delicate designs. Their position is low enough to be within range of close observation and of leisurely enjoyment, yet high enough to make them quite safe from danger of accident. A similar arrangement higher up in the room, even over doors and windows, is allowable for plates whose border is a simple band of some solid color, or for larger pieces which are slightly imperfect. Besides these permanent arrangements for china, there are infinite possibilities in the line of temporary provisions. The china cabinet which originated in the days of Sheraton, is familiar to us all. Many good ones are to be bought, and they make possible the artistic massing of china. Another well-known piece of furniture is the dresser, whose vogue waned almost to the vanishing point, but is now being revived by craftsmen of the present day. It is now being developed in forms so simple and so charming that they bid fair to become most desirable aids in the artistic arrangement of well selected china in any dining room. Another revival of an old-time adjunct is shown by the interest taken in the wall plate racks which have been so long in use among the Tyrolean peasantry. From these crude and simple suggestions have been evolved designs of infinite variety, and many of them rich in decorative carving. All such wall fixtures as racks, shelves, or cabinet form delightfully decorative spots of color above the sideboard or the serving table. There is infinite scope for originality along these lines; and when they are well constructed, much beauty of arrangement can be obtained at a comparatively slight expense. The craftsman needs only a proper sense of proportion, a logical sense of fitness, and a practical knowledge of his craft. To those he can add an unlimited variety in decorative finish. Certainly nothing adds more to the charm and attractiveness of a dining room than quaint and pretty china, arranged in artistic fashion. Rhubarb Marmalade. Peel five pounds of rhubarb and cut in one-inch pieces. Put in a preserving kettle, add six pounds of sugar, cover and let stand over night. In the morning bring to a boiling point, and let boil 20 minutes; then add one pound of figs, chopped very fine, and the grated rind and juice of three lemons. Stir until well mixed, again bring to the boiling point, and let simmer three hours. Turn into marmalada jars or jelly tumblers and seal. Lemon Custard Layer Cake. Two cups sugar, half cup butter, one cup milk, three eggs, one and one-half teaspoons baking powder and three cups flour. This makes four layers. For filling take the juice and grated rind of two lemons, one egg, one cup sugar and one-half cup water, one teaspoon butter and two table-spoons of flour mixed smooth with a little of the water. Boil this together until it thickens (watching carefully), then place between layers. Ham Rabbit. Mix well together one-half cup of deviled ham, one cup of grated cheese, four beaten eggs, one cup of cream and salt and paprika to taste. Cook over boiling water until thick, stirring constantly and serve at once on crackers or toasted bread. A Good Buttonhole. Stitch the buttonholes in underwear on a crosswise thread of the material, instead of the usual lengthwise one, and sew them around by machine before finishing with the hand buttonhole stitch. In this way they will not break out. M. C. COOK FIRST-CLASS Chili and Lunch Parlor Cakes - Pies - Ice Cream 2622 Welton St., Denver, Colo. D. REASE The Great Professional Shoe Shiner of Denver.

Iany Cities Want These Weather Bureau Information Bureaus Which Are Placed by the Department of Agriculture. Congress is expected to investigate the weather bureau following charges made concerning the department by James Berry. Mr. Berry formerly was the chief of the distributing division under Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weath- concerning the department by James Berry. Mr. Berry formerly was the chief of the distributing division under Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau. Among the allegations Mr. Berry makes against the administration of Mr. Moore is one intended to point out favoritism in the location of weather bureau klosks. What is a klosk? Webster says it's a Turkish summer house. But that isn't the kind of klosk which has aroused Mr. Berry. In a recent bulletin issued by Mr. Berry in following up his charges against Mr. Moore, he says: "The annual report of the chief of the weather bureau, page 22 and the yearbook of the department of agriculture (1900), page 50, says that klosks have been supplied to 21 of the more important cities." Then Mr. Berry calls attention to beautiful klosks erected by the department in small cities, while New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cincinnati and many other large cities have no klosks. Representative Moss didn't know until he became chairman of the committee on expenditures in the committee of agriculture, what a klosk was. "When word got out that my committee was going to investigate the weather bureau," explained Mr. ```markdown ``` Moss, "I got a good many letters telling me to keep my eye open for the klosks. Some of the letters said these klosks were tucked away in remote parts of the country and were no good to any one. I admit that just then I didn't know whether a klosk was a kind of animal or the name for a new-fangled plant. One day a fellow living down in Chattanooga sent me a postal card with the picture of a klosk on it, and then, of course, I found out what it was." On the klosk is displayed the maximum and minimum thermometers. They give the two extremes of temperature every hour of the day and night. In the same space is the hair hygrometer, the thermograph and the rainfall gauge. The hair hygrometer shows the relative humidity, the rainfall gauge, the precipitation and the thermograph the temperature every hour of the day and night. Records are made on a long strip of paper by means of a clock cylinder. A pen marks the variation in temperatures. Comedy of Stolen Speeches. Senator "Bob" Taylor of Tennessee once played a mean trick on his brother Alfred, and it was not until they were rival candidates for the governorship of Tennessee that Alfred got even. When they were schoolboys Alfred was selected to make a speech on the last day of school and "Bob" was a little jealous. It was suggested to the teacher that some of the other boys should be called on previous to the main feature. Among those boys was "Bob," who had stolen his brother's speech and proceeded to deliver it as his own. Thirty years later when they were campaigning together for the governorship "Bob" had prepared a flowery address on music, but Alfred, who spoke first, stole the speech and evened up for the schoolday affair by delivering it. U. S. Imports Cargo of Bugs. The United States has received its first cargo of bugs. Recently several thousands of bugs arrived in Boston harbor from Calcutta. They are consigned to the federal bureau of entomology and are to be used against the vermin that infest the orange groves of California and Florida. War Department Decides That Strategic Point In Pacific Ocean Must Be Protected. "It would require 25,000 troops to properly safeguard the Hawaiian islands." This statement was made recently by Gen. Arthur Murray, chief of the coast artillery, who has charge of the defense of Hawaii and who has been on the ground making personal observations. The war department knows that even the formidable guns which are now in Hawaii are not sufficient provision against a sudden attack, and a definite plan is being carried out to prevent the success of such an attack. Every place where such an attack is possible it has been arranged to place a sufficient number of mortars, and these mortars are now in store at Honolulu and Pearl harbor. A part, and a most important part, of the strategy of the joint army and navy board is that in case of an attack on Hawaii to hold it at any cost, because, as President Taft has stated, it is the key to the situatoin and of the Pacific. As one official put it, Japan would be blundering around in a fog in the Pacific while the garrison remained firm in Hawaii. Of course there is a magnificent scheme of defense from foreign battleships for both Pearl harbor and Honolulu. This is what is contemplated at Pearl Harbor and Honolulu: Between two stations six 12-inch guns, or the two 12-inch guns now there and four 14-inch guns; four six-inch guns, 16 12-inch mortars and eight 60-inch searchlights. The present necessity as shown in the plan revealed is that a large number of mortars be distributed at points on the northern part of the island at various bays, which have just been charted, to prevent the landing of Japanese troops. CITY KILLS THEIR CONCEIT How the New Members of Congress Are Regarded in the Nation's Capital. There is nothing more pitiful on the stage of national politics than the new and verdant member of congress, be he senator or representative, and especially is thus true of the new members of the upper house. So vast is the measure of importance of a new M. C. in his own district or his own state that for the first few months of his service he wanders about Washington in a dazed state, wondering if it can be really possible that the people of Washington realize he is the new member from Podunk or the new senator from such and such a state. Little work of importance is intrusted to the green member, and from him is expected a respect for his elders not dissimilar to that exacted from the little "plebes" at the national military and naval academies. Most men who have attained to the dignity of being one of the 92 senators of the United States come to Washington with a large estimate of their importance, and never is this so true as when such a man has worn the ermine before entering the arena of politics. But shorn of all power to fine for "contempt of court," assigned to the chairmanship of some such important committee as that on the "disposition of useless waste paper" and rarely or never consulted regarding the affairs of state, even the jurist statesman is obliged to submit to the good humored patronage of the older members until in due course of time he comes to realize the actual measure of his importance in the affairs of the nation. Uncle Joe on the Warpath. Uncle Joe on the Warpath. A committee went down to Cape Henry to inspect a site for a proposed new fort to protect Washington and Baltimore from attack by foreign navies in case of war. Ordinarily it is difficult to get a committee together for one of these field sessions, but this looked like a chance to play hookey for a day from sizzling Washington, and every member of the committee took a dozen friends. A camera flend got a focus on "Uncle Joe" Cannon while he was cavorting around after a clambake that had been provided for the party and was about to take his photograph, but the gentleman from Danville turned loose such a torrent ofcuss words that the amateur photographer fled. "Some day," said Uncle Joe, as he looked at the fleeing photographer, "I'm liable to lose my temper and throw one of those freaks into the ocean when I get tired telling him what he is." In addition to being an ardent baseball fan Justice White has a unique fad. It is that of collecting precious stones, none of which he wears as personal adornments. He never visits New York city without going down to Tiffany's and going over tray after tray of rare and valuable jewels as an expert. Whether he makes a purchase or not, as he sometimes does, he is always welcome at the store and he is said to be one of the best lay experts on the value of precious stones in the country. Served 56 Years in Army. Fifty-six years of service in the United States "in the rear of the army" won for David Robertson the unique distinction of being retired at full pay, with the rank of a sergeant Robertson had served continuously as a hospital steward since 1854. Now congress has retired him on a pension of $113.56 a month.

Few counties offer the chance for Negro farmers who are willing to work to have something, to be somebody and to train their children as Macon county, the county in which Tuskegee Institute is located. The best place to raise the boys and girls is on the farm, especially when you can give them a good education. Here are good chances for families to locate and purchase homes on easy terms, at reasonable prices. Lands in Macon county, Alabama, are productive. From one-fourth bale to two bales of cotton to the acre, owing to the grade of land and to the grade of man, can be produced. Lands are going up everywhere in this section because of the demand for land. I will show this land to anyone who would like to see it. Come to see me or write at once for further information.
