THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLOR LINE IN JAMAICA Native Jamaican asserts that Blacks are Discriminated against. Differs from Councilor De Cordova. Conditions as they exist in Jamaica according to Mr. McDonald's viewpoint. VOL. XVIII. COLOR IN JA Native Jamaican asserts tha against. Differs from Co ditions as they exist to Mr. McDonald Baltimore, Md., Jan. 23.—Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, and a native of Jamaica, West Indies, has attracted more than passing attention by challenging some of the statements of Counselor O'Connor De Cordova, which recently appeared in The Age regarding conditions in the West Indies. Mr. McDonald contends the West Indian, especially the Jamaican, does as a whole enjoy superior advantages in his native land, and the charge is made that the color line is drawn in the West Indies between the blacks and mulattoes. Conditions as they exist in Jamaica, according to Mr. Donald's viewpoint, are as follows: "As a Jamaican I felt very much interested in the remarks of Mr. O'Connor De Cordova which appeared in The New York Age of January 11. The hundreds of West Indans, especially Jamaicans who come to America yearly make their boast of the superior advantages which they have in their native land doubtful; but when we hear a white man of intellectual attainment, social status and an unblemished character speak of the Negroes in the West Indies as enjoying the rights and privileges of a man, all doubts concerning the favorable conditions under which the Negroes labor in the West Indies are likely to be removed. "The statement made by Mr. De Cordova, that in the West Indies Negroes are prominent in all walks of life is true. Mr. De Cordova further makes clear what he means by the work Negro. He says "Let it be understood that I use the expression "Negro" as it is accepted in this country and that is, I include in the term men of color, not black men only." (2) "This acceptance of the word Negro, as it is used in America, by Mr. De Cordova should be especially noticed since the man of color is not regarded as a Negro in Jamaica. The mulattoes in Jamaica are considered a distinct people from the blacks or Negroes. This distinction between the mulattoes and blacks in Jamaica is evident in its commercial, professional and social life. If the word Negro, which designates more than three-fourths of the inhabitants of the island, was to be used in the same sense as it is used in the West Indies, the statement of Mr. De Cordova would be untrue. "While the term Negro, as it is accepted by Mr. De Cordova, has made his statement true, that Negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, we must not feel that Jamaica is a mecca for the Negro. Mr. De Cordova is one I must respect and honor as a man with true sympathies and an earnest conviction in the integrity of my race; but he has made the fatal mistake of confounding the prosperity of the few with the welfare of the many. If the recognition of a few members of one race by a few members of another race is to be taken as the standard for the relationship between the races, then it can be said, that the Negro in the United States enjoys equal privileges with his white brother. "Mr. De Cordova has cited specific cases in which Negroes of Jamaica are highly recognized. But the same thing, or even more, can be said concerning Negroes in America. Mr. De Cordova says: 'The church has among its officials as archdeacons and rectors men of color, who are revered and respected by all classes of the community.' The same thing is true in this country. There are archdeacons, rectors and bishops—black men, too, who are revered and respected. Mr. De Cordova also speaks of Negro physicians, who have white patients, lawyers, who hold distinguished positions in the government and Negroes, as members of the legislative council of Jamaica. The comparison, that has been just made between the Negro clergyman in Jamaica and America is just as fitting in the cases of the Negro physician, lawyer and statesman of America as in Jamaica. "The gentleman has also mentioned that the Negro occupies such positions as justice of the peace, Custos Rotutveum, and member of the privy council, all of which are in the power of the governor, the chief executive of the island to bestow on those whom he thinks fit. Allow me to say here that these seeming honors that may fall to some Negroes in Jamaica, and in fact, it is a mere pretext to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3 1912. strengthen the disadvantages and injustices under which the black man of Jamaica is laboring. Who are these men of whom Mr. De Cordova has spoken? Rich men, in some cases learned men; and in most cases men, who do not regard themselves as Negroes. By virtue of their complexion they have been able to go to England and sometimes come to America, where they pass as white and even marry white women. "It is this class of Negroes chiefly that much boasted social equality with the whites in the West Indies; this class that forms a small percentage of the Negroes in Jamaica has been so carried away by the recognition of the white man, that such Negroes have lost all sympathies with their people, and in some cases they are the worst foes of their race. "The cry of the age for truth and freedom and emancipation from the falsities and hypocricies of oppression has reached Jamaica. The prophet of this new era is the Hon. S. A. Gilbert Cox, a man, who, like his Lord and Master Jesus Christ, does not belong to that miserable class for whom he is laboring. Mr. Cox is an educated man and a barrister at law. He once held an important government position which he resigned at his own option. Mr. Cox also possesses the good fortune of being nearly white, an essential requirement for prosperity in Jamaica, but Mr. Cox in spite of all these opportunities which warranted him a place among the elites of Jamaica, has stepped forward in name of humanity to champion the cause of the oppressed people of the island. This action of Mr. Cox has incurred the wrath of the nobility and the government of Jamaica against him. The antagonism of the aristocrats against Mr. Cox has been so intense that although he was elected in 1909 by the common people, as their representative in the legislative council, they succeeded in suspending him from that body. But Mr. Cox is still fighting. The oppressed of Jamaica have found a friend and an advocate in him."—N. Y. Age. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Presiding Elder, Rev. W. H.

Judge Cook of the Superior Court severely censured a white attorney in open court a few days ago because the lawyer referred to the colored plaintiff as a "darky." Judge Cook informed the discourteous lawyer that in a court of law races or colors are not recognized. Among the civil cases being tried before Judge Cook in the Superior Court of the State was one in which a colored preacher, the Rev. J. W. Turner, was suing the Southern Railway Company for damages incurred while a passenger on one of the defendant's trains last spring. According to his testimony the minister was leaning out of his car window as the train was passing a flag station and was struck on the arm, which was broken by a mail pouch suspended near the tract on a mail car crane. Judge Cook is regarded by the Negroes of North Carolina as a fair Christian jurist. Although a Democrat of the strictest sect, he will not permit any advantage to be taken of a Negro in a court over which he presides. Interesting to Astronomers. No way has been yet found in which the sun's corona with its unknown gases may be properly studied except during a total eclipse. The wonderful halo that the sun wears is one of the most interesting objects in the heavens to astronomers, and it is important to know all that can be known about these strange lights that shoot out millions of miles beyond the sun. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The annual clinic at Mebarry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., will be held the first week in February and will be conducted by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the noted surgeon of Chicago. W. W. Franklin, a colored mail carrier at Paris, Texas, started upon his route Wednesday. He went to several white people who refused to take their mail from him, and returned to the office with his mail pouch half filled with mail and resigned. The only eligible on the list is another Negro who started on the same route Thursday. much to interest their race in fine stock breeding and agriculture. Brownsville, Pa., January 15.—Thomas Sorrell, aged 94 years, believed to have been the oldest colored man in this section and distinguished as having made the shoe-box in which "Shoe-box" Miller, a bank robber, was smuggled from the Western Penitentry in Pittsburgh more than 20 years ago, died at his home here on Tuesday, 16th inst., from pneumonia. Sorrell was a shoemaker in and out of the penitentiary, and during the early days in this section was an expert at his trade Madam Hackley has made a mighty hit with Houston people. When she dedicates herself and services to her race, as she says she will then and not until then will she come into her own. As a specialist, she has wrought well, and she is justly entitled to the plaudits and praise of all the people wherever she goes. In years to come generations yet unborn will pay this God-sent woman the homage she has won in her particular field.—Texas Freeman. While the Negroes constituted 36 per cent. of the South's population in 1880, they had shrunk to 29 per cent in 1910. Part of this falling off has been due to the migration of Negroes from the South to the North and the West in the interval. In only two states—South Carolina and Mississippi do the blacks now out number the whites, and from the porportionate growth of the latter in the past 20 or 30 years, they will outnumber the blacks in those states long before 1930 is reached. Thus the Negro problem is solving itself. Lexington, Ky., January 20. W. E. D. Stokes has presented to Tuskegee Institute—Crystopoise—a $2,000 trotting stallion from his Patchen Wilkes farm here, and several eastern horsemen have promised to give a number of standard bred mares to form the necleus of a large breeding establishment planned for Tuskegee Institute. Crystopoise is a three-year-old black stallion by Cristallion--Electro, with a two-year-old trial of 2.27. The horse was taken to Tuskegee last week by Ed Willis, Stokes' Negro manager of Patchen Wilkes farm. The officers of Tuskegee Institute believe that the establishment of a large practical breeding plant will do NO 21 much to interest their race in fine stock breeding and agriculture. Brownsville, Pa., January 15. Thomas Sorrell, aged 94 years, believed to have been the oldest colored man in this section and distinguished as having made the shoe-box in which "Shoe-box" Miller, a bank robber, was smuggled from the Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh more than 26 years ago, died at his home here on Tuesday, 16th inst., from pneumonia. Sorrell was a shoemuker in and out of the penitentiary, and during the early days in this section was an expert at his trade. He made shoes for many leading men in Pittsburgh, including Dr, Brashear and the father of Secretary of State Philander C. Knox. Sorrell was born in Virginia. In 1833 a family of abolitionist Quakers bought Sorrell, with his mother and three other children, who were slaves on the plantation of William Lotter, in Norfolk, Va. With his relatives, Sorrell was brought here as a slave. After the Civil War Sorrell opened a cobbler shop. He lived peaceably and was making money, but one night about 25 years ago, he became involved in a race fight and shot a white man to death. A party of young men from West Brownsville, a suburb, whose residents were hostile towards Negroes, came here with the avowed intention of exterminating the black men. During a fight that seemed to be for his life, Sorrell wrested a revolver from his assailant and shot him fatally. Sorrell was convicted of manslaughter and sent to the Western Penitentiary for seven years. He was placed in the shoe department there. Here he came in contact with Miller, a bank robber of much notoriety. Miller was placed in a shoe box and sent from the penitentiary as a consignment of shoes. He was captured in Columbus, O. At the expiration of his sentence Sorrell retured here and resumed his old trade. He entered politics and ten years ago was defeated as a candidate for jury commissioner. However, he became a model citizen, and was worth $90,000 at his death. Sorrell is survived by his wife, aged 89 years, and four children. Six grandchildren also survive.—Pittsburgh Courier.

URGES NEEDS OF PUBLIC DOMAIN Immediate Legislation Is Imperative, Says the President. ASKS NEW LAWS FOR ALASKA Rules Governing Acquisition of Arid or Semi-Arid Lands Should Be Modified—Commission on Cost of Living. Washington, Feb. 2.—A special message on the work of the interior department and other matters was read to Congress today. To the Senate and House of Representatives: There is no branch of the Federal jurisdiction which calls more imperatively for immediate legislation than that which concerns the public domain, and especially the part of that domain which is in Alaska. The progress under the reclamation act has made clear the defects of its limitations, which should be remedied. The rules governing the acquisition of homesteads, of land that is not arid or semi-arid, are not well adapted to the perfecting of title to land made arable by government reclamation work. I concur with the Secretary of the Interior in his recommendation that, after entry is made upon land being reclaimed, actual occupation as a homestead of the same be not required until two years after entry, but that cultivation of the same shall be required, and that the present provision under which the land is to be paid for in ten annual installments shall be so modified as to allow a patient issue for the land at the end of five years' cultivation and three years' occupation, with a reservation of a government lien for the amount of the unpaid purchase money. This lenency to the reclamation homesteader will relieve him from occupation at a time when the condition of the land makes it most burdensome and difficult, and at the end of five years will furnish him with a title upon which he can borrow money and continue the improvement of his holding. I also concur in the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior that all of our public domain should be classified and that each class should be disposed of or administered in the manner most appropriate to that particular class. Leasing of Government Lands. Leasing of Government Lands. The chief change, however, which ought to be made, and which I have already recommended in previous messages and communications to congress, is that by which government coal land and phosphate and other mineral lands containing non-metaliliferous minerals, shall be leased by the government, with restrictions as to size and time, resembling those which now obtain throughout the country between the owners in fee and the lessees who work the mines, and in leases like those which have been most successful in Australia, New Zealand, and Nova Scotia. The showing made by investigations into the successful working of the leasing system leaves no doubt as to its wisdom and practical utility. Requirements as to the working of the mine during the term may be so framed as to prevent any holding of large mining properties merely for speculation, while the royalties may be made sufficiently low, not unduly to increase the cost of the coal mined, and at the same time sufficient to furnish a reasonable income for the use of the public in the community where the mining goes on. In Alaska, there is no reason why a substantial income should not thus be raised for such public works as may be deemed necessary or useful. Would Build Trunk Line Railroad. I am not in favor of government ownership where the same certainty and efficiency of service can be had by private enterprise, but I think the conditions presented in Alaska are of such a character as to warrant the government, for the purpose of encouraging the development of that vast and remarkable territory, to build and own a trunk line railroad, which it can lease on terms which may be varied and changed to meet the growing prosperity and development of the territory. I have already recommended to Congress the establishment of a form of commission government for Alaska. The territory is too extended, its needs are too varied, and its distance from Washington too remote to enable Congress to keep up with its necessities in the matter of legislation of a local character. the governor of Alaska in his report points out certain laws that ought to be adopted, and emphasizes Delicate Criticism. A woman well known in New York for her exquisite taste as well as knowledge of the decorative and architectural history of the world called on the wife of a multi-millionaire who had recently built and furnished a Fifth avenue mansion at great cost. "This," said the hostess proudly, as she threw open a heavy door, "is my Louis Quatorze room." The visitor gazed about her for a moment and then made answer: "What makes you think so?" what I have said as to the immediate need for a government of much wider powers than now exists there, if it can be said to have any government at all. Lower Colorado River. There is transmitted herewith a letter from the Secretary of the Interior setting out the work done under joint resolution approved June 25, 1910, authorizing the expenditure of $1,000,000, or so much thereof as might be necessary, to be expended by the President for the purpose of protecting lands and property in the Imperial valley and elsewhere along the Colorado river in Arizona. The money was expended and the protective works erected, but the disturbances in Mexico so delayed the work, and the floods in the Colorado river were so extensive that a part of the works have been carried away, and the need for further action and expenditure of money exists. Water-Power Sites. In previous communications to Congress I have pointed out two methods by which the water-power sites on non-navigable streams may be controlled as between the state and the national government. It has seemed wise that the control should be concentrated in one government or the other as the active participant in supervising its use by private enterprise. The Secretary of the Interior has suggested another method by which the water-power site shall be leased directly by the government to those who exercise a public franchise under provisions imposing a rental for the water power to create a fund to be expended by the general government for the improvement of the stream and the benefit of the local community where the power site is, and permitting the state to regulate the rates at which the converted power is sold. The latter method suggested by the Secretary is a more direct method for Federal control, and in view of the probable union and systematic organization and welding together of the power derived from water within a radius of 300 or 400 miles, I think it better that the power of control should remain in the national government than that it should be turned over to the states. Under such a system the Federal government would have such direct supervision of the whole matter that any honest administration could easily prevent the abuses which a monopoly of absolute ownership in private persons or companies would make possible. For some years past the high and steadily increasing cost of living has been a matter of such grave public concern that I deem it of great public interest that an international conference be proposed at this time for the purpose of preparing plans, to be submitted to the various governments, for an international inquiry into the high cost of living, its extent, causes, effects, and possible remedies. I therefore recommend that, to enable the president to invite foreign governments to such a conference, to be held at Washington or elsewhere, the compress provide an appropriation, not to exceed $20,000, to defray the expenses of preparation and of participation by the United States. Commission on Industrial Relations. Commission on Industrial Relations. The extraordinary growth of industry in the past two decades and its revolutionary changes have raised new and vital questions as to the relations between employers and wage earners which have become matters of pressing public concern. Industrial relations concern the public for a double reason. We are directly interested in the maintenance of peaceful and stable industrial conditions for the sake of our own comfort and well-being; but society is equally interested, in its effectively civic capacity, in seeing that our institutions are effectively maintaining justice and fair dealing between any classes of citizens whose economic interests may seem to clash. The magnitude and complexity of modern industrial disputes have put upon some of our statutes and our presen mechanism for adjusting such differences—where we can be said to have any mechanism at all—a strain they were never intended to bear and for which they are unsuited. What is urgently needed to day is a re-exam- Misbranding Imported Goods. My attention has been called to the injustice which is done in this country by the sale of article in the trade purporting to be made in Ireland, when they are not so made, and it is suggested that the justice of the enactment of a law which, so far as the jurisdiction of the federal government can go, would prevent a continuance of this misrepresentation to the public and fraud upon those who are entitled to use the statement in the sale of their goods. I think it to be greatly in the interest of fair dealing, which ought always to be encouraged by law, for congress to enact a law making it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, to use the malls or to put into interstate commerce any articles of merchandise which bear upon their face a statement that they have been manufactured in some particular country when the fact is otherwise. Saved. "Dearest," she asked, taking advantage of the fact that it was leap year, "will you be mine?" For a moment the young man feared that he was up against it. Then, struck by a happy thought, he replied: "You will have to ask mother." Reply In Kind. "If you had a leap year proposal from a pretty girl, what would you do?" AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In an able address in Atlanta, Ga., Judge Hammond of that city recently spoke in part as follows: "The negro is a part of the south's civilization. His organic life is bound up with that of the white man in ties that are indissoluble. Fanatical utterances to the contrary notwithstanding his elimination from the social organism of the south is not possible. All wise men will dismiss the thought and seek some other solution of the race problem. The white man cannot kill him because he will not submit quietly to the operation. Neither can he be transported because it is too expensive. And these are the only two ways by which he can be eliminated. So it is perfectly evident to any sane mind that he must stay here and continue for all time to be a vital part of our civilization. "The question of how he came here is not at all important; but the question of what to do with him, seeing that he is here, is vital. But it may not be amiss to say that we recognize the hand of an overruling Providence in the great fact of his presence in the midst of the white man's civilization. An overruling Providence is one which overrules the evil designs of evil men and turns them to good account. Who can name a great battle in the world's history that hasn't been overruled and turned to good account? And yet these battles were the direct outcome of the evil and malignant passions of men. So the evil passions and sordid cupidity of the slave dealers, who captured these black men and brought them to our shores and sold them to our ancestors, have been overruled by a higher power, and the great-great-grandchildren of these innocent people have become the wards of the American nation, and we are responsible to them for the faithful and conscientious execution of this high and important trust. Blatant demagogy may seek to obscure this truth, and try to make the people of the south feel that they are under no obligation to the negro; but true men will recognize it, and will not refuse to set themselves steadily and efficiently to the task of helping him to work out his salvation and elevate himself to a higher plane of civilization. "The inherent forces in the bosom of the white race, which are capable of being utilized for the advance of civilization will be perceptibly diverted and diminished if the white man harbors a feeling of antipathy toward the negro, and indulges in acrimonious controversy with him. What he ought to do is to indulge himself in the good feeling that he must look for good in the countenance of his black brother. If he looks for it he will find it, for it is there. A kindly glance will reveal it, when a contemptuous attitude or a haughty indifference will effectually obscure it. Let the white men seek, by a recognition of the many good qualities and characteristics of the negro, to encourage him to develop those qualities and characteristics. Nothing develops character more effectually than a recognition and appreciation of the good that is in the other man; while a constant, cynical search for the bad and an utter refusal to see the good not only hides the good from our vision, but has a blighting effect upon the man who carries within his own breast the consciousness that he has not been appreciated. We do a great wrong to the man whose good and true qualities we contemptuously or indifferently refuse to recognize. 'No man liveth to himself.' "There are many white friends of the negro who have a sincere desire and purpose to do him full justice, and who make an honest effort in that direction, but who seem to be unable to accomplish much, or to meet with gratifying results in their efforts. They are easily discouraged and turned aside from their purpose, and are ready to throw up their hands and say: 'What is the use?' They are prone to lose faith in the negro and say: 'Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him alone.' They feel a strong sense of duty, but they have no inspiration of hope. Their efforts are consequently mechanical and listless and lack the enthusiasm that is essential to success. The trouble with these friends of the negro is that they have failed to attain to a recognition of the best qualities of the negro character. They do not rightly apprehend and appreciate him. They look for certain qualities which they say he ought to possess, and not finding them, they overlook others which he does possess. They form their estimate of him by looking at him in bulk, whereas, in order to get a correct estimate of him, they ought to look at the individual members of the race who have made the greatest advance and accomplished the best results. There are negroes, and plenty of them, who are honorable and reliable in a high degree. Let him contemplate these, and not look altogether upon the shiftless element. "This is not the time and place to discuss and elaborate in extenso the question of the relations between the two races, and, perhaps, the less said about that the better. But there can be no harm in saying and inst*sting that these relations should be cordial and friendly. The colored man is our brother in black, and belongs to the great brotherhood of the races that inhabit the earth. He is a part of our common humanity, and is entitled to his place in the world, and in the civilization of this American country. Whether he will maintain that place depends absolutely upon him. If he proves himself worthy, he will stand. If he fails, he must go down. Let all good men help him, and see that he has a fair chance." Says the New Orleans Item to the American Bankers' association. "Visitors to the south should try to get at first hand some idea of the race question. Your acquaintance with it, if you live in certain parts of the north, may have been gained from 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' if you are aged, or more from the columns of newspapers which detail lynchings, if you are young. When you get on a street car in New Orleans you will find that there is a separate compartment for colored people. "In getting around town you will notice that the attitude of the colored people to the white people is polite and respectful, and you will notice that the attitude of the white people toward the colored people is not considered unkindly. In spite of the lynchings of which you have read, you will be surprised how may colored people are left. You will find that they do not live in a perpetual terror of their lives, the average colored man or woman in the south is a better citizen than in your own section of the country. "You will find that there is no acute race problem down here, that millions of white people and millions of negroes live in the same cities and in the same communities, there being no considerable amount of friction between the races. You will find that the best of the white people in the south look upon the best class of negroes in a friendly way, as a valuable and almost indispensable industrial element. "You will fin that the best element of the white people in the south wants to see absolute justice given to the negro before the law, that he is encouraged to the thrifty and to learn those things that will be useful to him, that he is encouraged to earn, and respected if he saves. "You will find that not one intelligent and thoughtful negro in fifty wants a ballot in the south. You will find that the negroes feel that they are far better off since they got out of politics and leave the voting to the white people. In New Orleans and throughout Louisiana and Mississippi you will find large and well-behaved negro populations. You will find an increase among the negro population and in spite of the discouraging experiences that individuals will relate, you will find the gradual tendency toward self-government among the negroes. "It is true that whisky is almost as bad for negroes as it is for Indians. It is true that the negroes are not fitted to survive the vices and dissipations of a great city. In your own section of the country it is the bad citizen who is always getting to the front in the newspapers, whether he be a malefactor of great wealth or a malefactor who wants great wealth. So among the negroes, both here and elsewhere, it is too often the bad ones who get into the newspapers and bring discredit upon the millions of substantia, respectful hard-working members of their race. "When you go north you can tell people who want to come south that no 'negro problem' makes the south an undesirable place in which to live, that there are about as many bad negroes in the cities of the north as there are in the cities of the south, for we drive away a good many of our bad negroes from the south and they go north." There are about 3,000,000 foreigners now in the south, and 50,000 came here last year; a large majority of these foreigners are ignorant, and only a few are members of a Christian denomination. If they are not Christianized they will heathenize the south. Let the foreigners come into the south in large numbers and the white people of this southland will have more than a negro problem on their hands. If the foreigner comes in large numbers in the south the negro will leave. This the southland people do not want in a sense, for they cannot use the foreigner in their business as a servant like they can the negro. So they really prefer the negro to the foreigner as a laborer.—Memphis Bluff City News. There should be a great awakening among our people for the establishment of more business concerns. This should be done especially in order to give employment to our deserving boys and girls. The business places now being conducted should be unstintingly patronized. — Savannah Tribune.

Jimmy Gets a Dog mignt be possible to permit Dim have a dog to play with. Up to that time they had been able to match his teasing by a succinct and comprehen sive “No!” But now life was vastly different. Every homecoming of the elder members of the family, {f not greeted by “Didyuh bring my dog?” was hailed with the wail, “When kin I have my dog?” or “Whut kind of a dog is it I'm going to get?” until the King- thornes reached the stage where their opinion on dogs as a whole was so intense that {t was wordless. The situation led to dissensions also, for both Kingthorne and his wife ac cused the other of having been the one who said the fatal word of assent. ‘The peace of the family was gone, and the more they argued the worse it grew. Of the lot Jimmy was the most injured, for with all the bicker- ing because of a dog there wasn’t any dog. “You sald I could have a dog!” he inyariable ended in the plaintively ac- cusing tone before which all well brought up parents shrink. When the Kingthornes had time to look for a dog they never could find an attractive one, and if they did see & possibility they lacked the time. Sitting in her living room one after- noon conversing with visitors about green tomato pickles. Mrs, Kingthorne after staring from the window, gave a little shriek. “Just the thing!” she cried. “How did it get there?’ “What?” demanded her caller. “There aren't green tomatoes growing out there!” “Pickles?” repeated Mrs. King- thorne, dreamily. “No, it's a dog. It doesn’t seem to belong to any one, either!” Everybody looked. The dog was most apparently youthful, because ft still wahbled slightly when it walked, or, rather, rolled. For it was fat and globular, made still more so by a thick coat of woolly brown fur. From one end of the brown mass a pink nose stuck out and from the other end protruded a tiny plumed tail. He really was too much like an ‘deal puppy to be quite true. “There isn't a soul in sight,” as- serted Mrs. Kingthorne. “And nobody would let a puppy like that go for a walk alone, so {t must be lost. It'll get stepped on or stolen or something, and to own it would send Jimmy into hysterics of joy, so, really, I think ft is my duty to rescue the puppy, don't you?” Everybody wanted to see the puppy at close range, so everybody sald “Yes.” Mrs. Kingthorne went out and brought the animal in, “Don't dogs have germs and things?” demanded one of the visit- ors. “It is likely to give Jimmy some- thing, isn’t {t?” ‘That was why everybody followed Mrs. Kingthorne down into the laun- dry to see her give the waif a bath He was very little and the tub was very big and the soap was exceed- ingly fluffy, so it took four of them to wash and dry him. Afterward he frisked in front of a grate fire and Mrs. Kingthorne admired herself ex tremely for finding him. Jimmy, for some reason, was late, but presently Kingthorne arrived. He seemed a lttle dazed at the chorus of joyful shrieks and the bundle of brown wool that was thrust at him “Well!” he murmured in a puzzled tone. “That doesn’t look a bit lke the one—" “The one!” cried Mrs. Kingthorne. “What one, and what is it?” ‘The bell rang just then and King- thorne went to the door. When he rejoined them he was leading by @ leash an Alredale pup. A grown-up Airedale {s without doubt the ugliest dog yet invented, but an Airedale pap transcends by a hundred degrees the ugliness of the grown-up Airedale ‘There is no use in trying to tell what Kingthorne’s pup looked like, because if adequate words could be found no- ‘body would believe the description anyhow. Kingthorne spoke into the immense silence almost defiantly. “He's a bench dog,” he said. “All my life T've wanted an Alredale—and I am sure Jimmy will be crazy about this one. So will you when you get used to his looks and appreciate his noble nature. That brown, woolly thing hasn't any class, my dear.” “Well, I like him!” cried Mrs, King- thorne, indignantly. Jimmy slammed into the house just then. Something slammed in with him. It was an overgrown, calfitke creature, all legs and tail and tongue, with a great ugly head, and its style of architecture was a combination of everything from early Greek down. “He's mine!” Jimmy cried, proud- ly. “An ashcart man gave him to me, an’ he's goin’ to sleep In my room SHOE REPAIRING ee Oy alll : Te gy? 7 4 fie : Bie.

The men present were: Seated, from left to right—Jack Johnson, Thomas H. Quill, Jim Flynn, Jack Curley. Standing—William Marshall, Charles Burns. JOHNSON SIGNS ARTICLES TO FIGHT FIREMAN FLYNN Chicago.—After eighteen months of idleness, Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, signed articles here to fight a finish battle with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, generally regarded as one of the best "white hopes." The fight will take place in Nevada next July. As a tentative date July 22 was selected but this may be changed at any time. The fight will be staged either at Windward or the metropolls. For his services Johnson is to receive $31,100 and one-third of the receipts from the sale of the moving picture rights. Flynn's share of the purse was not announced. He will be paid by his manager, Jack Curley, who represents the promoters. This means the Johnson-McVey fight may be shoveled. Before May 1, however, Flynn will fight Al Kublak of Toronto, and possibly Al Palaser of New York. Johnson protested against the Palser match. A referee will be selected later. Tim Sullivan of New York, who held the sultifan money for the Jeffries-Johnson battle, was chosen stakeholder. Before February 16 Curley must post a forfeit of $10,000 and J. Johnson and Flynn $50,000 each. Johnson objected to only sections of the articles. He demurred to having to postpone the McVey battle and the amount of money he is to receive for training, $1,100. He wanted $1,200 cash, three round-trip tickets to Salt Lake City and the transportation charges on his three automobiles. Curley explained to Johnson that a training site at Lagoon, 18 miles from Salt Lake and on a fine drive, would be obtained for him if he would agree to the $1,100 proposition, and this so pleased the champion that he signed without further protest. POPULATION OF TEXAS INCREASE IN PEOPLE DURING DECADE ANALYZED IN RACE FIGURES. Washington, D. C.—A preliminary statement giving for each state and territory of continental United States the distribution of the population according to its elements of race, nativity and percentage as shown by the returns of the thirteenth decennial census taken as of April 15, 1910, was issued by Director Durand of the bureau of census department of commerce and labor. Below are given the figures for Texas: The total population in 1910 was 3,896,542, compared with 3,048,710 in 1911, an increase for the decade of 847,832, or 27.8 per cent. In 1910 the total white population was 3,204,896, compared with 2,326,-669 in 1900, an increase of 778,227, or 32.1 per cent. The total number of whites represented 82.2 per cent of the entire population of the state in 1910. In 1910 the total native white population was 2,964,884, compared with 2,249,088 in 1900, an increase of 715,-796, or 31.8 per cent. The total number of native whites represented 76.1 per cent of the entire population of the state in 1910. The foreign white population in 1910 was 240,012, compared with 177,581 in 1900, an increase of 62,431, or 35.2 per cent. The total number of foreign whites in 1919 represented 6.2 per cent. of the entire population of the state. The negro population in 1910 was 690,020, compared with 620,722 in 1900, an increase of 69,298, or 11.2 per cent. The total number of negroes in 1910 represented 17.7 per cent. of the entire population of the state. BUTTING IN. Referee—How do you know he did? Quarterback—I saw him.

C.—Long-continued applause greeted the announcement of Secretaries J. E. Moorland and L. E. Johnson at the great meeting of the Y. M. C. A. at the New Howard theater that the magnificent $1,000 home of the association on Twelfth street will be ready for dedication by the first of April. The generosity of Mr. Julius Rosenwald in sending his check for the conditional $25,000 somewhat ahead of time renders it possible for the contractors to resume the delayed work on the structure, and an agreement has been made to rush it to completion as rapidly as circumstances will warrant. The building is four stories and basement, and contains 44 dormitories, a boys' department, school rooms, Bible class apartments, a large lobby, reading room, lunch room, gymnasium, swimming pool, locker rooms, shower baths, bowling alleys, barber shop and reception rooms. The third and fourth floors, containing the dormitories, are already completed and they are beautifully appointed. When finished, the building will be the finest of its kind for colored people in the world. Of the $100,000 cost, the colored people of Washington have paid more than $25,000; John D. Rockefeller gave $25,000; Julius Rosenwald gave $25,000; the central Association has raised about $11,000, to help secure the Rosenwald benefaction; and the remaining $4,000 will be in hand by the time the building is dedicated a few weeks hence. It must not be overlooked that the credit for inducing Mr. Rosenwald to include the Washington branch in the sphere of his $25,000 offer is due in largest measure to the persuasive eloquence of President Taft, who earnestly pointed out to him the crying necessity for such a Christianizing influence in a community that embraced a negro population of 100,000, with countless young men unreached by agencies that tended to lead them from temptation. REWARDED FOR BRAVERY POLICE OFFICER GEORGE L. MIL LER, COLORED, OF ASBURY PARK, GIVEN PURSE BY CITI- NESS FOR CARPENTRY Asbury Park, N. J.—Police Officer George L. Miller, colored, is the hero of the hour in Asbury Park and has been given a purse by the citizens for bravery. He is acclaimed the bravest police officer on the local police force. The colored policeman is being praised for capturing the slayer of his white partner—Police Officer Charles F. Lippincott—although a revolver was aimed at his head. After Charles Clayton, a huckster, had shot and killed Police Officer Lippincott he turned his revolver on Police Officer Miller, but the hammer of the gun struck an exploded shell. Miller then turned in on his partner's murderer and after a struggle overpowered and arrested him. One of the first to reward Police Officer Miller for his bravery was Founder J. A. Bradley, who was active at the last municipal election in defeating the colored candidate for election to the city council, charging that property in the Springwood avenue district had depreciated in value since the candidacy of the colored man. Since Police Officer Miller's display of heroism Bradley has had the colored officer's life insured. SLIGHT ERROR. The aviator's wife was taking her first trip with her husband in his airship.

ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT EMANCIPATION DAY EXERCISES. Atlanta.—The emancipation exercises held at the Auditorium were the best attended and most helpful ever held in this city. They were under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Literary Society of Atlanta, and Dr. J. W. Madison, the president, presided. Rev. H. H. Proctor gave the invocation, and Dr. H. E. Nash read Lincoln's proclamation. Music was furnished by the negro colleges of the city, each school furnishing one selection. The chief attraction of the day was the address by William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States. He was introduced by Rev. P. J. Bryant. The address of Lewis was conservative and optimistic in tone. "I want to see the colored people weave their lives more and more into the industrial, business and commercial life of the people among whom they live," he said. "Let us seek to be a boon to the communities in which we live, and not a hindrance. Love your native state. The brain of the white and the brawn of the black built this state. Today Georgia supports the largest and most prosperous negro population of any state in the Union. Negroes today in this state pay taxes on $30,000,000 worth of property. Love your native southland. Nine-tenths of our people were born here. All our past is here. All our future is here. The most glorious history of the negro race anywhere in the world is in the south. Rejoice in the south and sympathize with her people in her travail to give a new race to freedom." $20,000,000 IN REAL ESTATE OWNED BY COLORED IN THE NORTHERN STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA—THIS IS EXCLUSIVE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY—LISTS GIVEN BY CITIES OF STATE. Harrisburg, Pa.—Between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 worth of real estate in Pennsylvania is owned by negroes, according to the forthcoming annual report of John L. Rockey, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics in the department of internal affairs. In the 47 wards of Philadelphia negroes own a total of 1,080 parcels of taxable real estate, exclusive of non-taxable property, with a total tax valuation of $2,801,275.

NECRO MUSIC AT BOSTON OPERA HOUSE GILBERT'S OVERTURE SMACKS OF AMERICAN SOIL. Boston, Mass.—A program of exceptional interest was offered tie the other night at the popular priced concert at the Boston Opera house. This program led off with Henry F. Gilbert's "Comedy Overture on Negro Themes," which was played with admirable finish and with splendid spirit. The overture itself must be regarded as one of the first compositions written in the American spirit and truly smacking of the American soil, and as an artistic production of real value. Mr. Goodrich by his interpretation of the piece not only insured its effect, but established an unusual coherence and logic in its development. NEW USE FOR CACTUS. A consular report from Montevideo suggests that the people of the southwestern United States, where cactus is abundant, and often a nuisance, might follow the example of the Uruguayans and utilize this plant in making whitewash. When traveling through the rural districts of Uruguay one's attention is attracted by the fine white color of the farm buildings, even during the wet season. The whitewash is made from the sliced leaves of the common cactus, macerated in water for 24 hours. To the creamy solution thus produced is added lime.

WORK FOR THE UNFORTUNATE MUCH INTEREST HAS BEEN AROUSED BY PROGRESSIVE AFRO-AMERICANS IN WILMINGTON FAVORING CO-OPERATION WITH THE RED CROSS SOCIETY —DR. W. H. MOORE PLEDGES LOYAL SUPPORT. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Wilmington, N. C.—There is a growing interest in this section of the south to conserve movements for the good of humanit, and the beter element among the Afro-Americans is quite conspicuous in giving impetus to commendable activities. A notable work that is an essential factor in alleviating the suffering of the lowly element of both races in this city is the Red Cross society. This organization is encouraged by the progressive Afro-Americans. Foremost among them is a quiet, unassuming, but progressive minister in the person of Dr. W. H. Moore, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church. He is identified with many organizations which are directing the negro's activities into avenues of higher usefulness. He believes that our people can become a desirable element in any organized body development of the masses. "I believe that as a race we should register the fact that we are not aliens to anything that meets the approbation of good citizens. The Red Cross society is doing a good work among us, and it is a concrete index to the fact that we must become more public spirited for our good. "We need in this city many other movements that will reach the element of our race that is left to evil tendencies. What we need is a movement that will reach the class of our young people who have not had the proper kind of environment. There is an encouraging spirit on the part of our leading colored men and women of this state to work for the unfortunate of our young people, such as the reformatory for the youth of the race, which is now the cynosure for those interested in saving the young. "This organization will prevent hundreds of the youthful incorrigibles from becoming associates of hardened criminals, and hundreds of this class of boys who are sent to the road will become inspired by the principles of the institution in which they will be trained and will live useful lives. I will contribute all that I am capable of giving to any movement that will help us and the community in which I reside," said Dr. Moore when he was asked by a representative of the press what was the inclination of the Afro-American folk in North Carolina toward any effort for charitable purposes. Dr. Moore is highly esteemed by citizens of both races in this state. He is an optimist and believes in the great possibilities of the negro becoming a worldwide factor in the advancement of Christian civilization. He is an admirer of young men who are interested in themselves to the extent that they will sacrifice much to make material advancement. After receiving his literary training he did pedagogic work in Pender county, this state, and later accepted the principalship of the graded school at Conway, S. C. During the period that he was reaching the lives of hundreds of boys and girls of his race he felt divinely called to the ministry. In 1885, he was ordained and became a power for the advancing of the cause for which he had been especially prepared. He soon became one of the leading ministers in the Middle District Baptist association. COLORED BUTLER SAVED ADMIRAL'S SILVER AT RISK OF LIFE ATTACKS ARMED BURGLAR WITH NO WEAPONS—IS STABBED BY BURGLAR, BUT DRIVES HIM OFF WITHOUT THE LOOT. Washington.—Attacking an armed burglar with no better weapon than his hands, William Newman, a colored butler, saved the contents of the silver cabinet in the home of Rear Admiral F. M. Ramsey, U. S. N., on New Hampshire avenue. Newman was stabbed in the arm and slashed across the face by the burglar's knife, but he fought gamely, and the intruder finally made off without the valuables he was in the act of bagging when interrupted. Newman's shouts for help aroused Admiral Ramsey's daughter, who leaped from bed and rushed to the scene just as the robber fled. COLORED MAN DIES AT AGE OF 113. Elkins, W.

Declaration Made that 10,000 Lives Have Been Lost in Last Few Years by Employment of incompetents. American seamen are going to find life a deal more pleasant if the friends of labor now in congress succeed in securing the passage of a bill in that body. The keynote of the measure, which has the backing of the International Seamen's Union of America, is efficiency. It promises to do away with crews the majority of of labor now in congress succeed in securing the passage of a bill in that body. The keynote of the measure, which has the backing of the International Seamen's Union of America, is efficiency. It promises to do away with crews the majority of which know little more about the work of a seaman than about running a locomotive, and thus remove the cause of many of the horrible marine disasters of the last few years. The union attributes the terrible loss of life in the General Slocum disaster in New York harbor several years ago to the inefficient crew which manned the vessel. The loss of 10,000 lives on the sea in the last few years is the toll of the poorly manned vessels. This the proposed bill seeks to prevent. It requires that at least 75 per cent of the deck crews of steam vessels, exclusive of officers, shall be men who have had at least three years' experience at sea, and that they shall also be able to understand the English language. Another provision repeals that section of the present law that deals with the ancient maritime custom of imprisonment for desertion, any seaman leaving his vessel while in a foreign port being subjected to one month's confinement in jail. This law is one of the things that has been driving American boys from the sea. Probably the most important item in the bill from the seamen's point of view is the abolishment of the "advance" in the foreign trade, as it has already been abolished in domestic trade. By "advance" is meant the system of paying a part of the seamen's wages to the "crimp," the vernacular for a sailors' boarding house master or shipping agent, before the voyage begins. The advance system is considered one of the oldest abuses to which seamen are subjected. The main work of a "crimp" is to get the sailor so intoxicated that he does not know what sort of a contract he is signing, and this enables him to rob the unsuspecting seamen of a large part of their earnings. The seamen will also have it a little better on board the vessels. It will mean better board, better sleeping places and better treatment from the officers of the ship. At present the seaman is compelled to live in a place six feet long, six feet high and only two feet wide. This is the legal forecastle space, and in these cramped, unwholesome quarters the men must eat, sleep and keep their clothing. It has fittingly been described as being "too large for a coffin, but too small for a grave." GEN. MILES IS NOW PAST 72 Recently Celebrated His Birthday and Looks Much Younger Than He Really Is. Lieut-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. army, retired, has passed his seventy-second birthday anniversary, and he looks many years younger than that. His eyes are keen and clear, and he steps as quick and active as any young man. At the silver wedding of President Roosevelt he was of a conspicuously soldierly appearance. dressed in white linen from his shoes to his collar, with the necessary accountment of military trappings. [Illustration of a man in military uniform]. General Miles can look back on a most stirring career, having taken active part in the Civil war, in Indian wars and the Spanish war. He is a native of Westminster, Mass., and in 1861 entered the army, where he attained the rank of major-general of volunteers, and at the age of twenty-five commanded an army corps. At the end of the Civil war he entered the regular army, rising by regular grades to be major-general, succeeding to the command of the United States army October 5, 1895. CEMENT HOUSES GERM PROOF First Real "Cement City" In the United States Stands Across River From Washington. Cement houses poured while you wait and fitted with every known modern convenience, are about the latest thing in the building line. Just across the river from Washington, on the Virginia highlands, there stands today the first real "Cement City" in the United States. The houses of the little city are germ-proof, fireproof and practically indestructible. They average six or seven rooms and are built to include the most modern ideas of house construction. Roof gardens and outside sleeping porches are two of the features that have sprung into instant favor with the home buyers. The building of these houses is simple in the extreme. The cement is poured into metal molds and the entire time consumed from the first Germ-Proof Cement House. breaking of the ground until the building is completed is about ten days. There is no complicated mechanism. Plates of steel, pressed in flanged sections 24 inches square, are clipped and wedged together, forming a trough which holds the liquid cement until it hardens. A second trough is then set upon top of the first and the process repeated, the lower plates being moved higher up, as the walls harden. These plates also serve as forms for floors and roofs. There are no bolts to rust and no cast parts to break, everything being held together by steel wedges, locked by a blow of the hammer and easily taken down. The entire house is of cement except the sash and doors, and the rooms can be flushed out with a hose. Waste heat from kitchen range warms the whole house. Better than all and by far most important is the fact that one of these modern houses can be erected at a total cost of $2,000. MANY NEW BIRDS FROM AFRICA Papers issued by Smithsonian Institution Tell of Discoveries Made by Faunal Naturalists. Colonel Edgar Mearns, associate in zoology, United States National museum, describes many new birds from Africa, in two papers recently issued by the Smithsonian institution. The first of these papers comprises a description of fifteen new species nad sub-species of African birds, collected by the Smithsonian African expedition under the direction of Col. Theodore Roosevelt during the years 1909-10, and forms the fourteenth of the papers relating to the results of the expedition. Ten of the birds included in the paper were discovered by members of the expedition—nine by Dr. Mearns and one by J. Alden Loring. The scientific names of these new birds would hardly be of interest to the general reader. It may suffice to say that many odd and beautiful ones are included, some of which in English are called spurfowl, francolins, stone pheasants, golden weavers, bush robins, bush warblers and bulbins. The spurfowl and francolin, which come from the regions of Mount Kenia, Mount Killimanjaro and Lake Victoria, are among the principal game birds of British East Africa, and correspond to our guinea fowl and partridge. In the second paper Dr. Means has described some new African grass warblers, also collected by the Smithsonian expedition in Africa. This paper is the fifteenth dealing with the African expedition. It embraces the description of seven new species and subspecies of these birds, four of which were discovered by members of the expedition; one by Dr. W. L. Abbott, an American explorer of note, and the two others, from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, by Dr. Glover M. Allen. The specimens will be reserved for study, and none will be put on exhibition for the public. Our Presidents. Buchanan was the only continuous bachelor among the presidents. Garfield's first act after taking the oath of office was to kiss his mother. Garfield was the first president to make a political speech in a foreign tongue, addressing an audience in German. Taylor never cast a vote nor held a civil office until elected president. He was a general in the United States army. Jackson was the oldest of the retiring presidents, having been within eleven days of his seventieth birthday when his second term expired. Roosevelt was the youngest outgoing chief magistrate. His age was then fifty years and four months. REVOLT KILLS 20 IN JUAREZ COMMANDER OF THE GARRISON WAS THROWN INTO PRISON —TOWN LOOTED. TWO AMERICANS DEAD UNITED STATES TROOPS ARE RUSHED TO BORDER TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. El Paso, Texas.—The garrison of Juarez, El Paso's Mexican neighbor across the river, rose in revolt and in half an hour were in possession of the city. Looting and promiscuous shooting prevailed for hours, and twenty were killed, according to reports. An Italian surgeon, holding a commission in the Mexican army, returned from Juarez and reported that he had counted fifteen dead, including two Americans—a man and a boy of about twelve years. The boy was lying in the street. He was shot through the breast. The surgeon said most of the dead were near the custom house. The commander of the garrison was thrown into prison, and the chief of police locked in with him, while previous prisoners were released. Americans resident in Juarez and many Mexican officials and citizens fled to the American side. Two Americans, Gus Ruhnke and Fred L. Ley C. W. CLARENCE S. DARROW.

Others gambling houses were fired upon. A passenger train about to depart over the Mexican Central for Chihuahua and the City of Mexico was detained by the malcontents. Four troops of cavalry from Fort Bliss were rushed to the American bank of the Rio Grande to protect citizens and preserve neutrality. Guards were stationed at the street car and the railroad bridges, and at the two bridges at the smelter, a mile west of El Paso. Refugees were assisted across the bridges, and the fordable places along the river. So near as can be ascertained the uprising was due to a report, printed in a Chihuahua newspaper, stating that General Pascual Orozco, one of the leaders and idols of the Madero revolution, had resigned his military position at Chihuahua, and to the discharge of 100 men of the Juarez garrison. The dismissal of these troops was taken as confirmation of the Orozco report. Fewer Soldiers for Philippines.

A towel shower for a recent bride was both practical and acceptable. ‘There were 12 intimate friends, s0 they each contributed the price of a ‘towel and the hostess purchased one dozen of the same pattern with the large papler-mache letters and cotton for marking. On the afternoon for the “shower” all came with their thimbles and each girl embroidered a letter on a towel, so when refreshments were served 12 beautiful pieces of lnen were placed before the bride. Just a word as to the wearing qual- {tles of these papler-mache letters, concerning which there seems to be a divided opinion. Personally, I have found them most satisfactory, having used a tablecloth and napkins for nine years that are marked in this manner. If they are closely and carefully worked they will outwear the original material and that is all that is neces- sary. ‘The refreshments consisted of lob- ster salad, hot cheese sandwiches, cof- fee, olives and salted nuts. A relative, who knew of the shower, sent two guest towels, a pair of bath towels and six wash cloths. Shut-In Day Amusements. As soon as a child, girl or boy, is able to handle round-pointed scissors provide a pair, with quantities of col- ored pictures to cut out. Then, if there fs no handy man available, get the nearest carpenter to make a screen or the frame for one; tack cheap paper cambric on the back. Cover the young- ster from top to toe with an apron, spread a sheet on the floor, give him a bottle, or better, still, a tube of brary paste, (they dearly love to squeeze it), and you happily may go your way rejoicing, knowing that sev- eral hours will elapse ere the charm of cutting and the joy of pasting will have been lost. ‘When the screen is full take it out and replace with a fresh plece of cam- bric. This amusement gives the child ample scope to exercise its originality, and the enjoyment of not being as sisted is keenly appreciated by the lit tle soul. If a box of water color paints 1s added to the outfit, so much the better. And, by the way, those colors are made harmless for these embryo artists, so if the brush should find its way into the little mouth nc serious consequences follow. A Utility Shower. A dozen girls planned this shower for a recent bride. It was rather un- usual and very enjoyable. The hostess asked them all to meet at her house informally at 2 o'clock asking the bride-elect to be there at three. In this way she had time to explain her scheme which was as follows: She has materials to make these articles: a Fiashion’s Latest YC ) oa cS a Kop Ui , \\ e f} = L i i | KY a : ie ; iA le \j eet Os / a 2 ZA fii a GF ve ~~ Nor te Broadcloth costume trimmed with fur dust cap, three holders, a broom bag, troning holder, laundry bag, @ kitchen apron, clothespin bag, roller towel, several dusters of cheese cloth and a half dozen dish cloths, The entire cost was divided among the 12 and the materials wrapped in tissue paper and hidden throughout the rooms, Upon the arriyal of the ‘honored guest they chatted awhile and then the hostess announced that a little fairy had confided to her that there were packages of value secretly hid- soft tones of the piano the same as for “Magic music.” When all the pack- ages had been discovered the girls all set to work upon which ever article they selected. They pronounced this a “utility” shower and it certainly was practical, for the guest of honor sald her mind was so in the clouds that the articles presented had neyer been thought of. Delicious tea was brewed by the hostess, accompanied by thin bread and butter sandwiches filled with orange marmalade, bon-bons, and small cakes. The guests assisted in serving. The hostess was a bride of six months, so she knew from experl- ence what a new housekeeper would need. MADAME MERRL , .

Two Ideas That Are Both Popular and Effective Are in Strip or the Diamond Design of Twine or Monk’s Cloth. Young girls have found a way to keep their nimble fingers busy in the making of rather odd bedspreads, appropriate mostly for the rooms of bachelor brothers, friends or even uncles, Of these new bedspreads there are two kinds—those made of twine and those made of monk's cloth. Both are popular and effective. It is a matter of taste with a young girl whether she wishes to crochet a twine bed- spread or to sew together and rough- ly embroider one of monk's cloth. The twine bedspreads have taken the place in the working of neck- ties for crochet work. Happily they are not all made in one piece, but of many small squares or diamonds, ac- cording to the denign, which are sewn together later. It is therefore an easy matter to carry about in the workbag one or two pieces in process of ma- king and to take them out whenever an opportunity offers for a little light crocheting. The so-called twine used for these bedspreads comes in large balls like those of ordinary twine, and can be purchased at either fancy or depart- ment shops. The needle should be of a size that handles well the par- ticular thickness of twine nucessary for the selected design. Some girls are making these bed- spreads in strips after designs long known in connection with afghans, and prefer them to the those that are made out of numbers of small squares or diamonds. ‘The strip de- sign gets rid of the labor of sewing the many small pieces together. It 1s also equally pretty. The designs made in small squares or diamonds are real- ly more elegant, for they follow pat- terns suggestive of cluny lace and are done with finer twine than those in strips. They are more for the young girl’s own bedroom than for that of the bachelor brother. The successful note about such work is that it pro- duces an immediate stylish effect. And once made such bedspreads last forever. Ee alae eee Pein Giger St Ore ir hs ; WHY? ; Are you a member of THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC ASSOCIA- TION? If not, why not?
