PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY IS THE NEGRO HAVING A FAIR CHANCE? BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. IN THE CETURY IL LUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE VOL. XIX. IS THE HAV FAIR C BY BOOKER T. WASHING LUSTRATED MON (Continued from last week) In recent years there has been a great shifting of employment between the races. A few years ago all the rough work in the mines, on the railway, and elsewhere was performed by Irish immigrants. Now this work is done by Poles, Hungarians, and Italians. The cities like New York, Chicago, and Pittsburg one finds today fewer colored people employed as hotel waiters, barbers, and porters than twenty years ago. In New York, however many colored men are employed in the streets and in the subways. In Pittsburg thousands of colored are employed in the iron mills. In Chicago Negroes are employed very largely in the packing-houses. Twenty years ago in these cities there were almost no colored people in these industries. In addition to the changes I have mentioned, many colored people have gone into businesses of various kinds on their own account. It should be remembered, also that while in some trades and in some places discrimination is made against the Negro, in other trades and in other places this discrimination works in his favor. The case in point is the Pullman-car service. I question whether any white man, however efficient, could secure a job as a Pullman-car porter. BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCA- IN THE NORTH In the North as a rule, the Negro has the same opportunities for education as his white neighbor, when it comes to making use of this education, however, he is frequently driven to a choice between becoming an agitator, who makes his living out of the troubles of the race, or emigrating to the Southern states, where the opportunities for educated colored men are large. One of the greatest sources of bitterness and despondency among colored people in the North grows out of their inability to find a use for their education after they have obtained it. Again they are seldom sure of just what they may or may not do. If one is a stranger in a city, he does not know in what hotel he will be permitted to stay; he is not certain what seat he may occupy in the theater, or whether he will be able to obtain a meal in a restaurant. THE BALLOT TO THE INTELLIGENT NEGRO No influence could ever make me desire to go back to the conditions of Reconstruction days to secure the ballot for the Negro. That was an order of things that was bad for the Negro and bad for the white man. In most Southern States it is absolutely necessary that some restriction be placed upon the used of the ballot. The actual methods by which this restriction was brought about have been widely advertised, and there is no necessity for me discussing them here. At the time these measures were passed I urged that, whatever law went upon the statute-books in regard to the use of the ballot, it should apply with absolute impartiality to both races. This policy I advocate again in justice to both white man and Negro. Let me illustrate what I mean. In a certain county of Virginia, where the county board had charge of registering those who were voters, a colored man, a graduate of Harvard University, who had long been a resident of the county, a quiet, unassuming man, went before the board to register. He was refused on the ground that he was not intelligent enough to vote. Before this colored man left the room a white man came in who was so intoxicated that he could scarcely tell where he lived. This white man was registered, and by a board of intelligent white men who had taken an oath to deal justly in administering the law. Will any one say that there is wisdom or statesmanship in such a policy as that? In my opinion it is a fatal mistake to teach young black man and the young white man that the ordinance of the white race in the South rests upon any other basis than absolute justice to the weaker man. It is a mistake to cultivate in the mind of any individual or group of individuals the feeling and belief DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30 1912. LOOK WHO'S HERE. Just as in the spring the young man's fancy gently turns to thoughts of love, so the first days of December turn the thoughts of young and old to the advent and celebration of the Christmas season, with its chief functions of good cheer, liberality and the dispensing of thoughts and things that tend to create and increase happiness. Christmas clothes, Christmas furnishings and the thousand details which are included in the preparations necessary to have our dreams come true, begin to picture themselves in busy brains with the dawn of the first day of the winter month. But always before the thought of the multitude runs the thought of the merchant. Just as carefully as the parent plans and prepares for the children, or the children for the parent, and perhaps more carefully still, the wise merchant thinks and plans and prepares for us all, anticipating our fancies or creating real and practical dreams that go beyond our fancies and command our admiration and delight. The merchants of Denver enjoy well-earned reputations for keen design and perception of the public taste, and for the development of that taste by selecting, acquiring and displaying the choice fancies of the world's markets for this great sale season, and we have often said truthfully that Denver's leading stores can be compared with pride with the finest and best stores anywhere in the United States. These displays are now in their prime and glory and are partially told of on our display advertising pages, but it is well to remember that the early shopper sees more and better bargains than the one who delays his purchases. Most people delay, it is true, and the crush comes in the week preceding Christmas, but the best and the wisest purchases are made before that time. More early purchasing means better purchases. Look over the newspaper for ideas and then take a walk through the stores and examine the bargains displayed, and do it now. It means an earlier start and a longer period of that holiday delight which refreshes the world for the beginning of another year. State Hist. & Nut Hist Society State House HANTS WH ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO that their happiness rests upon the misery of some one else; or their wealth by the poverty of some one else. I do not advocate that the Negro make politics or the holding of office an important thing in his life. I do urge, in the interest of fair play for everybody, that a Negro who prepares himself in property, in intelligence, and in character to cast a ballot, and desires to do so, should have the opportunity. In these pages I have spoken plainly regarding the South because I love no other part of the country, and I want to see her white people equal to any white people on the globe in material wealth, in education, and in intelligence. I am certain, however, that none of these things can be Just as in the spring the young of love, so the first days of December to the advent and celebration of the tions of good cheer, liberality and the tend to create and increase happiness, sings and the thousand details which a sary to have our dreams come true, brains with the dawn of the first day fore the thought of the multitude run as carefully as the parent plans and dren for the parent, and perhaps me thinks and plans and prepares for us a real and practical dreams that go beyond ration and delight.

THE CRIME OF LYNCHING In most parts of the United States the colored people feel that they suffer more than others as the result of the lynching habit. When he was Governor of Alabama, I heard Goyernor Jelks say in a public speech that he knew of five cases during his administration of innocent colored people having been lynched. If that many inocent people were known to the Governor to have been lynched, it is safe to say that there were other innocent persons lynched whom the Governor did not know abnut. What is true of Ala- bama in this respect is true of other States. In short, it is safe to say that a large proportion of the colored people lynched are innocent. A lynching-bee usually has its origin in a report some crime has been committed. The storo flies from mouth to mouth. Excitement spreads. Few take the time to get the facts. A mob forms filis itself with bad whisky. Some one is captured. In case rape is charged, the culprit is frequently taken before the person said to have been assaulted. In the excitement of the moment, it is natural that the victim should say that the first person brought before her is guilty. Then comes more excitement and more whisky. Then comes the hanging, the man's fancy gently turns to thoughts ever turn the thoughts of young and old Christmas season, with its chief func- dispensing of thoughts and things that Christmas clothes, Christmas furnish- are included in the preparations neces- tive begin to picture themselves in busy of the winter month.

Not a few cases have occured where white people have blackened their faces and committed a crime, knowing that some Negro would be suspected and mobbed for it. In other cases it is known that where Negroes have committed crimes, innocent men have been lynched and the guilty ones have escaped and gone on committing more crimes. Within the last twelve months there have been seventy-one cases of lynching, nearly all of colored people. Only seventeen were charged with the crime of rape. Perhaps they are wrong to do so, but colored in the South do not (Continued to fourth page.) RACE NEWS Aiken, S. C., Nov. 19.—Beginning November 15, the postoffice department instituted free city delivery of mail for Aiken, with three regular carriers and one substitute. Postmaster Charles E. Carman recommended the appointment of two white men and one Negro as carriers, but the department overruled his recommendation and instead appointed two Negroes and one white man. Atlantic City, N. J.—Robt. L. Fitzgerald, proprietor of Fitzgerald's Casino, was elected Freeholder in a hard three-cornered fight over his Democratic opponent. He was on the Republican ticket. He was cut by many white Republicans and some colored, but received the votes of many white Democrats. Fitzgerald received 1,054 votes and Moore, Democrat, 855. A committee of 16 colored citizens demanded representation on the ticket on pain of bolting. Philadelphia, Nov. 14.—Among the seven men who appeared today at the St. Agnes Hospital and offered to give part of their skin to save the life of 6 year-old Mary Farrar, was a Negro. He was by far the most anxious of the crowd, and even after all the others had been ejected by the physicians, he continued his offer. The men came in answer to a newspaper advertisement. Little Mary was horribly burned about a month ago and the burns refused to heal. Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 19.—A few months ago a few special friends of Dr. Booker T. Washington organized a movement to secure a special gift of $50,000 to lighten his burdens and encourage him in his work at Tuskegee, to given annually for five years from a number of selected persons throughout the United States. The movement has been so successful and so spontaneously responded to that $53,000 a year for five years has been guaranteed. Baltimore, Md., November, 20.—A demonstration of Brown's wave and gravity motor was held tonight at Young's Hall, 1911 Druid Hill. The machine is the invention of Frank Brown, who says that it will eliminate the use of coal, reduce the cost of labor and do away with expensive electrical energy. The invention is designed to be placed in the ocean where the receding and incoming waves and the force of gravity produce mo- NO 12 tion and in turn produce electrical energy. It is claimed that the current generated by this machine can be used for lighting, for moving trains and for running machines several hundred miles from any given point where one of these motors may be placed. The motor is designed to rest on a base of reinforced concrete, fortified against climatic changes. A series of bouys are used to make the motor steady and regular. The Atlantic Perfected Motor Company, incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, with an authorized capital of $250,000 has been organized to manufacture Mr. Brown's invention. The promoters say they expect to begin operation next spring. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23.—Was Leonard Lewis, sentenced to four years on the state farm for burglary, hanged last Friday at Douglasville, Ga., by mistake for Leonard Lewis, who was sentenced to be executed for murder? That question is worrying the state prison officials, the judge who ordered the execution and the sheriff who tied the noose and sprang the trap. If the wrong man was hanged this mistake was due to the fact that two Negro convicts from out-of-town counties, both named Leonard Lewis, were confined in Atlanta jail prior to execution of sentence, one for burglarly, the other for murder. The Unexpected. It was on a Newton-Brighton surface car. The conductor was calling out the names of the streets. Suddenly he called in a clear, loud voice, "Eleanor, Eleanor!" Imagine the passengers' surprise when a small, pretty young lady looked up from a book and said, "Well, what is it?" There is a difference of opinion as to whether the joke was on the young lady or the conductor—Boston Journal. Properly Applied. "This paper," remarked an Irish woman to her husband as they sat at tea, "says that some feller declares there be sermons in stones. Phwat q'yez think av that?" "Ol dunno about the sermons," replied the good man, "but many a good ar-gument has coom out ov a brick, Ol'm thinkin'." Bicycle Rider's Narrow Escape. An unusual mishap befell Wm Thomson of Old Meldurm, Aberdeen-shire, Scotland, lately. While cycling against a very strong wind, the ashes from his pipe were blown behind his neck and set fire to his rubber coat, his shirt and muffler. Soon he was wrapped in flames. In vain he tried to beat them out, and he was severely burned before a farmer, who heard his shouts for help, drowned out the fire with water.

An explosion which wrecked the dry starch house of the Corn Products Company's plant at Waukegan, Ill., killed between eight and twelve workmen and injured twenty-seven others, several of whom will die, and caused about $100,000 property damage. Lucile Cameron, whose infatuation for Jack Johnson started a long series of misfortunes for the black fighter in Chicago, says she has been cured, and believes it would be a good thing for any girl who believes she is in love to be immured in prison for thirty days to think the matter over and see if she is not mistaken. Her mother believes they will be unmolested in the south, as she says Johnson would not dare follow them below the Ohio river. WASHINGTON.

Constantinople. It has been at times difficult to think of this as a doomed city, a description which every journalist in the world must by now have applied to Constantinople. Here one can live through the exciting days as though the war was the remotest of horrors. One must go out and seek if one would touch the fringe of its river, to see "the red laugh of war." In Pera is peace. The restaurants, cafés and music halls suffer scarcely at all. One would think they are doing a better business than ever. It would take but little to let the fullest hell loose there. Let a shell come screaming over the hill and land in this camp and there would be a mad rush into Stamboul, a panic in its narrow streets, a boundless burst of horror from end to end of its wide huddled area. The partition between safety and danger is indeed thin. A panic would be easily raised. In the city the young Turks plot showed how troubled were the political waters beneath the surface. It is like living on the edge of The war which has advanced to the last of the capital's defenses does not cast a shadow. Downhill in Galata, the money changer chats and does his business as though the "sick man" had been promised a long lease of life once more. Every merchant, from the rich vender of the antique down to the seller of Halvas, the favorite sweetmeat—who also knits socks—everybody seems bent on business. His only thought is his next customer. The boom of cannon might be any other noise in the world for all anyone seems to care; but if one goes out to find the forward-thrown shadow of the war it can be discovered soon enough. Leave Pera and Galata behind, throw a small coin to one of the crowd of toll gatherers who guard either side of the gates across the Golden Horn and you enter the war zone. Across the bridge streams a train of rough wagons drawn by oxen with painful slowness. One by one these carts, with those who accompany them, are taken aboard ship to be sent to Asia until the vessel is packed to its utmost capacity; then in hopeless calm the foremost of those left sit down—people and animals—where they stood to wait. It may mean to them a cold night without food or shelter. Endlessly this caravan of misery, bound no one knows where, stretches over the bridge, through the narrow, twisting, rank smelling streets of Stamboul, past the gates, beyond the walls of the city. From the horizon it pours strangely onward, hopelessly looking not back, expecting only the dawn of nothing. In this pouring tide of war every crazy wagon bears the wreck of a homestead, the poor, miserable salvage from a peasant home. Everything which would not pack, and pack quickly, into the wagon, was left behind. In the panic of those refugees who fled before the rumor of approaching war there was not always time to gather the whole family together. Mothers and fathers had no idea where their children were. There were children hanging on despairingly to the wagons of other families, their fathers and mothers miles away in the impenetrable confusion. They have no story to tell, these refugees. They fled likely at night from their homes. They mutter that they have been living without food, tramping over roads now hard, now deep in mud. Many have been stricken down by swift and merciful, one thinks, disease. Now and then some poor wretch will rush from a cart trying to find the nearest water. After a short, erring struggle, the victim will fall down and writhe for a time and then lie still. The war has claimed another victim. By the city walls, mostly at Adrianople, the gate of the historic entry which, five centuries ago, saw the Turk come in conquest to take possession, these outcasts of war camp by the hundreds and the city Turk comes to look and curse the work of the Christian. Ask Volunteer Nurses for Cholera. Constantinople.—Turkish reinforcements from Anatolia were landed in the peninsula of Gallipolis, which separates the Dardanelles from the Aegean sea. American Ambassador Rockhill is pushing his segregation plans with all possible haste in an effort to save the thousands of well persons now exposed to cholera. He has asked for volunteers among the Red Crescent and foreign missions to aid the English missions in the San Stefano and other camps, and many have offered their services. GENERAL POST OFFICE IN STAMBOUL THE MUSEUM OF THE HISTORY OF CAMPAIGNING IN THE WORLD This is the beautiful general post office of Stamboul, as the Turks call Constantinople. It would take but little to let the fullest hell loose there. Let a shell come screaming over the hill and land in this camp and there would be a mad rush into Stamboul, a panic in its narrow streets, a boundless burst of horror from end to end of its wide huddled area. The partition between safety and danger is indeed thin. A panic would be easily raised. In the city the young Turks plot showed how troubled were the political waters beneath the surface. It is like living on the edge of a volcano. A death dealing stream of terror might come at any moment. Nor in this incessant, living tide of outcasts the only side of the war "which is not for show." Now here are such hideous sights to be seen as within the sacred Stamboul mosques. Round the buildings are the refugees, many thousands struck down by the disease which can only mean death. In Stamboul the great mosque of St. Sophia is a most conspicuous feature. The interior is gorgeous, for the great temples of the old world were plundered so that the Emperor Justinian might say, "I have excelled the work of Solomon," but today the visitor can scarcely turn his eyes to note its treasures and glories of the carvan centuries. On their platform the Muezzins rise and fall to faintly spoken praying. In the corner of the room the devout are performing their religious rites. Some days ago one would have watched them, but now there is only one thing to note. Scattered over the floor lay stricken soldiers and refugees, some dead, many almost at the GENERAL POST OF This is the beautiful general post Constantinople. Initiative Adopted in Montana. Helena, Mont.—Returns on the initiative and referendum measures submitted to Montana voters at the recent election have determined that the measures providing for party nomination for state offices by direct vote, limiting the campaign expenditures of candidates to fifteen per cent. of the salary for one year of the office for which each is a candidate, providing for the direct election of United States senators and for a popular expression of preference for party candidates for President, carried by a 2 to 1 vote. end of their troubles—a grim, huddled mass of pitilable humanity. The wildness was out of their eyes; only weariness was left. Heroic doctors were doing their best, but what fearful fight was theirs! They war against a foe which receives incessant formidable reinforcement. They cannot hope to win save a little fight here and there. The greatest struggle will go against them, yet they hold to their ground manfully and well, against all the cohorts which the disease hurls against them. To go out into the sunshine again is only to walk through a never-ending street of sorrow. Sometimes one sees food and clothing given to refugees as a dark caravan lights up here and there with brightness brought by unexpected joy. The wastage of this war as seen in Stamboul is really frightful. Yet what unrolls itself before one's eyes, here is but a tithe of all. We may be able to look across its horrors and still see the blue in heaven, but one doubts if there can be shouts of victory or joy bells loud enough to efface from one's memory the awful horrors brought from the desolated countryside by the streaming, struggling caravan of human misery which which relentlessly into the city of the golden hero. One climbs into Pera again. It is like passing out of a nightmare. In Pera everything is comparatively peaceful. Handy men of half a dozen navies have landed and are holding the embassies, consulates and foreign schools. It is good to see the jolly Jack Tar in the streets, the mildy buying picture post cards and the stalwart officers, a fine breed of men, in one service, and then only one in all the world. Pera is crowded. Its shops and restaurants and cafes are busy. Not only does one receive the impression that this is not the city with the enemy almost within gunshot, but one also is soon convinced that this is a people with no heart for the serious business on hand—a nation of triflers. OFFICE IN STAMBOUL Post office of Stamboul, as the Turks call U. S. Cruisers in Constant Touch. Washington.—Realizing the possibility of rapid and important developments in the Balkan war, the Navy Deparment has slightly changed the itinerary for the cruisers Tennessee and Montana, under Admiral Knight. The vessels will be kept in close touch by cable with the department. Admiral Knight on the Tennessee intends instead of going direct from Gibraltar to Smyrna to head first for Malta, while the Montana, which was destined for Beirut, has started for Port Said at the entrance of the Suez canal. LAND REVERTS TO U. S. CASE INVOLVED 1,120 ACRES NEAR PAONIA. Government Held That Seven Claimants to $2,000,000 Coal Tract Agreed to Work Jointly. Denver.—On allegations of a tacit agreement to work the property jointly, in violation of federal law, $2,000,000 worth of coal lands near Paonia revert to the government, through a decision just reached by the general land office at Washington which reverses the decree of the local land office at Montrose. The case, which will be appealed to Secretary of the Interior Fisher by the coal men, involves 1,120 acres of the choicest coal land existing. The coal on the land is pronounced by experts to be hard and of fine quality, running 100 feet thick in some places. The value of the coal in the property involved is estimated by M. D. McEniry, chief of the fifth field division, at $2,000,000, on a basis of 80c a ton. The lowest price the government puts on this land, when classified for sale, varies from $250 to $425 an acre, averaging $400. The fields lie in the western part of Gunnison and the eastern part of Delta counties, township 13 south, range 90 west being the description of the land affected by the decision. TAFT CARRIED TWO STATES. Roosevelt Led in Five, and New Jer- sey Gov. George W. in 41 States. sey Governor Won in 41 States. New York—The popular vote for President in the election of 1912 shows that Wilson polled throughout the country a total of 6,156,748 votes; Roosevelt, 3,928,140, and Taft, 3,376,422. The Socialist vote for Debs reaches 673,783, with the Socialist count still unfinished in seven states. In 1908, Bryan's popular vote was 6,393,182 and that of Taft, 7,637,676. Primary to Select New Postmaster. Grand Junction.—Citizens of Grand Junction may have a chance to elect a postmaster to succeed Edwin Price, Republican, and postmaster for the last fourteen years. James U. Harris of the State Land Board, R. C. Walker, Democratic county chairman, and M. Hertz, aspirants for the appointment, declared they were willing to abide by the will of the people if expressed in a postmaster preferential primary. Friend of Truby Shoots at Enemy. Durango.—Trouble Mesa again justified its name when John Rhodes, reputed to be a sympathizer with the Truby faction of the Cox-Truby feud clans, fired a shot at Robin Frazier, a warm friend of Isaac Cox, now being held on the charge of killing Samuel Truby on Trouble Mesa several weeks ago. Frazier was not hit. Carnegie Retains $25,000,000 For Self. New York.—Andrew Carnegie, in a statement, announced that all but $25,000,000 of his fortune, which will be disposed of under his will, will be left to the Carnegie corporation of New York, which has been made his residuary legatee, and which will carry on his educational, and charitable work. Jealous Sultor Shoots Two. Holyoke.—Jealousy over pretty Miss Dorothy McCarthy, daughter of a wealthy ranchman here, cause a double shooting and the arrest of Henry Green, son of a prominent man, charged with firing the shot which painfully wounded A. M. Anderson, town marshal, and Warren Earl, deputy marshal. T. R. Gets One California Elector. San Francisco.—Final figures from all counties of the state, including the totals reported by the Los Angeles, inyo and Modoc boards of canvassers, but not checked up by the secretary of state, give. Wallace, heading the Republican electoral ticket, a plurality of 128 votes over Griffin, the first Democratic elector. Teacher's Coolness Prevents Panic. Glenwood Springs. — Leaving her classroom quietly after having been warned by a passer-by that the school building was on fire, Miss Arta Crook, a teacher, ran to the upper floor of the building, sounded the general alarm and probably saved the lives of about 200 boys and girls. Girl Billy Rugh Saved Leaves Hospital Gary, Ind.—Ethel Smith, for whom Billy Rugh, Gary's newsboy, sacrificed his life, left the hospital and returned to her home. "I wish Billy could have lived," said Miss Smith, as she left the hospital room. Dr. Scott to Stand by Wife. Boulder.—"Whatever my wife may have done, I shall stand by her until the last hope is gone," said Dr. Ira D. Scott, in a signed statement given to the press in reference to the disappearance of Mrs. Callie M. Scott, who left Boulder November 14th under circumstances that caused him to believe she had gone to join Harry Bitner, retired Chicago lawyer, who departed from this city a few days before and who has not been seen or heard from since. 2735 Welton St. Main 6363 The Central Bottling & Distributing Co.

We should not, in public places, be guilty of any misconduct, or violation of the rules of polite society in the presence of feminine members of our race, any more so than a white man should. We should eschew all vulgar expressions and deport ourselves in a quiet, gentleman-like way. Self-respect insures general respect, and respect for our own people begets the respect of others.

In spite of the many official investigations begun, and the thousands of individual dissertations contributed on the subject by statesmen, financiers, logicians and statisticians, the query remains without satisfactory solution and the many-sided arguments goes doggedly on. We had something to say on the subject some time ago, and the position we took, putting the matter up to the trusts, has been endorsed by a great majority of the leaders of the Republican party in the nation, but the tide of argument has not been stemmed. Some would-be demonstrators seem determined to prove that the extravagance of the people is the real cause of their suffering, and one ungallant minister of the gospel at least, has declared that the very heart and marrow of this extravagance is the desire of our women to bedeck themselves in gorgeous raiment and reign as social queens, while other women (poor things!) are charged with all wanting the best cuts of meat and the highest priced provisions, making it actually impossible to satisfactorily supply the demand at former prices. This is all foolish and unfair argument, for the women have no chance to get back at those who make it. For them we can say that the butcher sells every particle of flesh and tissue of his stock that is eatable; and every bone, hide and hair that is convertible into other products, at prices higher than he got a few years ago; and round steaks, hamburger steaks made of gristle and whit-leather, chuck roasts, briskets and shanks are delicacies which thousands of tables can afford only at infrequent intervals! Furthermore, the extravagance of women in dress and display has not increased the cost of ginghams and calicoes, nor decreased the beauty of those who wear them. Somebody is playing 'possum in the hunt for a cause. Somebody knows just how and where and why the people are being so systematically and relentlessly squeezed for what they eat. For such a condition to exist without a discernable cause is an indictment against the reasoning powers of the American people, and the sooner the whole dissembling muddle is worked up into a plain political issue, the sooner the thief will be caught.

IN OTHER DAYS one of the worst accusations that could be made against a woman was that of flirting. If the charge could be proved, it was sufficient for cold treatment by other women—though the men seldom followed that lead—and if it was not proved, it was slander. Happily, I think, we have relaxed a little on that point. Perhaps we have seen that there is something much worse than flirtation, of which flirtation is a natural enemy, and that is stupidity. At that age when flirtation most commonly plays its part, there is likely to be a good deal of sentiment of a fatally serious kind. I am convinced that a lack of humor, if not absolute stupidity, is the foundation of much of this ponderous affection, which may or may not terminate happily. The first, if we accept the definition of common parlance—one who practices the gaining of affections for self-gratification—either directly or indirectly wards off some of this danger. Knowing the existence of the flirt, the young man or young woman will offer a resistance to the usual theft of reason, with a degree of success which could not have come from within their overawed selves. How many men and women there are who fancy themselves in love today who would be better off if they were frankly flirting, we can only conjecture; and how many men and women in the matrimonial condition who wish they had been only flirting we fear even to conjecture. Of course there is much said of the "heartless flirt," of consequent wasted lives and broken hearts. But seldom we hear of the wasted lives and broken hearts which follow the marriage contracted after the most conventional courtship by two well-meaning and eminently earnest individuals who simply made a mistake when they thought, in this world of 1,500,000,000 souls, it had been arranged by heaven that they should meet and go to housekeeping together. A period of flirtations might have taught them something of life. A flirt might have helped both of them. I think this is the office of the flirt—the real flirt—to prepare the way for advantageous selection; to destroy foolish theories and to prevent premature disillusionment. That the flirt cannot fulfill even this part completely is not the fault of the neck to the air. This much exposure is healthy, and will both harden the neck and make the person less sensitive to colds. It is decidedly more sensible than the high stocks that some women wear, with points so high that they cannot turn their necks without punching their ears. Next, the tight skirt. The tight skirt was the forerunner of the hobble skirt. It was tighter than the preceding loose gowns and not so exaggerated as the hobble. This tight skirt was not only attractive, hanging, as it did, in one smooth piece, but was far healthier than the loose skirts, as it was usually worn the least bit shorter, and did not dabble in the mud. I would like to see the fashion pendulum swing again to the low neck, as I have outlined it, and to the tight skirt. hands alone exposed to the influence of the lower temperature. This causes the heat and moisture of the body to escape through these members, the face and hands, drying their surface and causing wrinkles, which multiply as we grow older and are less able to resist the cold, less able to turn food into heat. In those climates where the temperature remains near that of the natural temperature of the body it would seem that the extreme dryness of the atmosphere absorbs the moisture of the body through the exposed parts of their flesh. The temperature and moisture in us and the temperature and moisture of the air about us is always seeking a balance. draw a bonus of golden days.

I want to speak a word for the low-necks and the tight, not hobble, skirt. The low-neck dresses are healthy. Now by low-neck I do not mean a dress with the neck cut six or seven inches deep. I mean the sensible cut, say two or three inches, either diamond shaped or round, which would be just enough to expose the exposure is healthy, and will both harden the ss sensitive to colds.

A short time ago an inquirer asked why the face and hands wrinkled while other parts of the person remained smooth in skin surface. Having seen no answer from our physician, I will offer my opinion: Our physical comfort requires that there be a continuous loss of heat from our body. Normal health also requires that there be an outlet of the heat generated by normal animation, as we consume air, water, food. Those parts of the body that are covered with clothes are insulated from the temperature about us, leaving the face and influence of the lower temperature.

Two extra days for every week of vacation is being offered by the German Amperial bank to employees who are willing to postpone their holidays till winter. The reason is that to give everybody a vacation in summer too greatly depletes the office force and puts a long strain on the men who have to carry the work of absentees. Those who suffer from the heat may need a fortnight or a month of respite in the summer, but those who can get through the heated term in good physical condition could well afford to wait till winter and One day would carry a German across the Italy or the Riviera, a very moderate amount glander to Bermuda, Florida or the West planning a little excursion would be glad to sake of four extra days. ended to employoyers who find it difficult to the recognized vacation season.

When ten millions of people feel that they are not sure of being fairly trien in a court of justice, when charged with crime, is it not natural that they should feel that they have not a fair chance? I am aware of the fact that in what I have said in regard to the hardships of the Negro in this country I throw myself open to the criticism of doing what I have all my life condemned and everywhere sought to avoid; namely, laying over emphasis on matters in which the Negro race in America has been badly treated, and thereby overlooking those matters in which the Negro has been better treated in America than anywhere in the world. Despite all any one has said or can say in regard to the injustice and unfair treatment of the people of my race at the hands of the white man in this country, I venture to say that there is no example in history of the people of one race who have had the assistance, the direction, and the sympathy of another race in all its efforts to rise to such an extent as the Negro in the United States. Notwithstanding all the defects in our system of dealing with him, the Negro in this country owns more property, lives in better houses, is in a larger measure encouraged in business, wears better cloths, eats better food, and has more school-houses and churches, more teachers and ministers, than any similar group of Negroes anywhere else in the world. What has been accomplished in the past years, however, is merely an indication of what can be done in the future. As white and black learn day by day to adjust, in a spirit of justice and fair play, those interests which are individual and racial, and to see and feel the importance of those fundamental interests which are common, so will both races grow and prosper. In the long run no individual and no race can succeed which sets itself at war against the common good. ARTHUR JACKSON'S ORCHESTRA Rehearsals Friday Nights and Sunday Afternoon.

COAL EXPORTS BIG Important Factor in Trade of the United States. Product Has Taken Leading Place in Nation's Commercial Advancement Within Last Twenty Years Canada Best Customer. Washington.—Coal is rapidly be coming an important factor in the export trade of the United States. The value of the coal sent to foreign countries last year was $52,500,000, against $21,000,000 in 1902 and $8,333,000 in 1892, having thus increased over 500 per cent in the last twenty years and 150 per cent in the last decade. Even these larger figures of more than $50,000,000 worth of coal sent to foreign countries in the fiscal year 1912 do not include the value of that passing out' of the country in the form of "bunker," or fuel coal, laden on vessels engaged in the foreign trade, which aggregated nearly $23,000,000 in value, making a total of more than $75,000,000 as the value of the coal passing out of the United States in the fiscal year 1912. The quantity sent to foreign countries in 1912 was, according to figures compiled by the statistical division of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, 17,500,000 tons, against 7,000,000 in 1902 and 2,500,000 in 1892. Thus the quantity exported in 1912 is seven times as much as in 1892 and the value more than six times as much in 1912 as in 1892. Coke exports also show a decided growth, the value in 1892 having been but $112,000 and in 1912 practically $3,000,000. A comparison of the quantity and value of coal placed for fuel purposes on board vessels engaged in foreign trade in 1912 can only be made with comparatively recent years, the figures of bunker coal laden vessels in 1912 being 7,093,212 tons, valued at $22,802,876, against 6,003,794 tons, valued at $19...71,778 in the fiscal year of 1909, the earliest date for which complete figures of bunker coal movements are available. The fact that the coal sent to foreign countries has increased 150 per cent, both in quantity and value, during the last ten years, that the total value of exports to foreign countries plus the value of that leaving the country as bunker coal now aggregates more than $75,000,000 suggests that the total value of the coal passing out of the United States in a single year will soon reach the hundred million dollar line. The movement of coal out of the United States is confined to comparatively few countries. Of the 2,979,102 tons of anthracite coal exported in the fiscal year 1912 all except 56,571 tons went to Canada, and of the 14,709,847 tons of bituminous coal exported in that year 10,671,982 tons went to Canada, 1,121,580 tons to Cuba, 692,534 tons to other West Indies and Bermuda, 511,802 tons to Panama, 344,712 tons to Mexico and less than 1,500,000 tons to all other countries. While the total exports of coal to other parts of the world is at the present time small, the growth in the movements to certain European and South American countries has been rapid. The quantity of bituminous coal exported to Italy has grown from 43,641 tons in 1907 to 276,467 tons in 1912; to France, from 4,037 tons in 1907 to 43,222 tons in 1912; to Argentina, from 9,827 tons in 1907 to 156,792 tons in 1912; to Brazil, from 1,610 tons in 1907 to 307,125 tons in 1912, and to French territory in Africa, from 500 tons in 1907 to 102,498 tons in 1912. The total exports of bituminous coal to all Europe grew from 87,512 tons in 1907 to 404,905 tons in 1912, and to South America, from 65,906 tons in 1907 to 580,161 tons in 1912. WHITE HOUSE SENSATION The sensation of a recent White House garden party was the puffing of cigarettes by an Austrian woman, the first to ever smoke at a White House function; that is, the first to ever smoke at a White House function within the memory of living witnesses. Dolly Madison, the beautiful Dolly, whose fame has delighted two continents, probably smoked a pipe there; at any rate, she rubbed snuff, which is ten times worse. LIKES UNCLE SAM'S LAUNDRY Heinrich Wollheim, a representative of the Imperial Bank of Germany, who came to Washington to inspect the operations of the bill-washing machine in use at the bureau of engraving and printing, has expressed his entire satisfaction with the device. He will return to Germany within a few days, and will submit a report to the Relchbank of Berlin, recommending the purchase of one or more of the machines for use in Germany. Icelandic Ponies. Icelandic ponies, which are being impressed into the service of the Swiss army, aroused the admiration of the great traveler, Mme. Ida Pfeffer. "In spite of scanty food," she wrote, "they have marvelous powers of endurance. They can travel from 35 to 40 miles per diem for several consecutive days. They know by instinct the dangerous spots in the stony wastes and in the moors and swamps. On approaching these places they bend their heads toward the earth and lookly sharply round on all sides. If they cannot discover a firm resting place for their feet they stop at once and cannot be urged forward without many blows." SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES Under the administration of President Taft, industrial education in the Philippines has made rapid progress. For the last four years industrial instruction has been prescribed in the primary course for both boys and girls, and the work is systematically carried on in an advanced stage in the intermediate schools. Twenty-six well-equipped trade schools have been established in Manila and the provinces; there is a college of agriculture at Los Banos, and a college of engineering has been added to the University of the Philippines. The civil government finds its duties much less onerous now that the military invasion of the islands has been superseded by the educational, in certain lines, particularly lacemaking and embroidery, the products of the Philippine schools not only compare favorably with the work of the famous French and Swiss experts, but promise to compete with them successfully in the world's markets. The whole system of education in the islands is based on the principle that the children should receive training that will prepare them directly for the life they are to live. In the lowest grades they make articles that they can use and sell, both in their own localities and elsewhere. The most important industry taught the boys is hat weaving. The schools do not attempt to replace hand machinery with modern apparatus, for it is recognized that there is a real demand for the products of careful handworkmanship. A set of dining room furniture in red narre, made at the Philippine School of Arts and Trades in Manila, recently sold for $200 at a carnival. The first thing the Filipino girl does in the sewing class in school is to make herself a complete outfit of clothing. This work she usually begins in the second grade, but sometimes in the first. Armed with an embroidery frame, in most cases made by the boys in the same school, she advances in proficiency through the various grades; hemming and embroidering cotton squares, fine linen, handkerchiefs, waistlets and so on. The more expert girls turn out masterpieces in French net and embroidery. In lace they make all varieties of "Pillow lace," including "torchon" (Spanish lace), maltese, Ceylon, Irish crochet, and so forth. Battenberg is also made for local use. Nearly 400,000 pupils are engaged in some kind of industrial work in the islands. UNCLE SAM SHOWS WAY. Great Britain has asked a leaf from the book of United States as the pioneer in systematically destroying derelicts or floating wrecks along the coast, which are a menace to navigation and a peril to lives at sea. The information sought for the benefit of the London board of trade, which controls Great Britain's maritime regulations, has just been furnished to the British embassy by the state department. The British government was informed that the revenue cutter service performed this important task for the United States. One revenue cutter, the Seneca, was especially built as a derelict destroyer. At numerous international maritime conferences the construction of derelict destroyers has been recommended, but the United States is the only country which has adopted the suggestion. During the fiscal year 1912 the revenue cutter service destroyed or removed 45 derelicts. Of wrecked vessels towed to port there was saved an aggregate money valuation of $166,175, including ships and cargoes. The state department estimate that the revenue cutter service located 75 per cent. of the derelicts reported by the United States hydrographic office, maritime exchanges and ships at sea, all working in co-operation to clear the paths of transportation. ALL KINDS OF DOGS The following advertisement appeared in a local paper the other morning: Lost or strayed. from the Russian Embassy, 1701 K street, a gray Yorkshire terrier, 8 years old, an awsome dog of Bobby. If found and returned, no questions will be asked, and a handsome reward paid. The dog was lost about Oct. 1. A stream of persons accompanied by dogs started toward the Russian embassy. Every sort of dog, from a ten-ounce spitz, to a two hundred pound mastiff, was presented for inspection. Long before Ambassador Bahmeteff and Mme. Bahmeteff were up, dogs galore had been passed upon by attaches. Yet at sundown, Bobby had not been found. Removing Ink Stain From a Book. You can quite effectively remove the ink stain from an injured volume by applying a dilute solution of oxalic acid, tartaric acid, or citric acid. Any of these acids take out ordinary writing ink, but do not interfere with the print. You would achieve results slowly by just moistening the spot with a sponge and sprinkling over it a coating of damp cream of tartar, let dry and repeat. If acid solution is used it should be quite dilute and applied with a damp sponge. Doctor Knew "Doctor, my husband is losing his mind, I fear. He continually mumbles and mutters to himself." "Is it possible?" "Yes; he mutters to himself, and when you speak to him he stares at you blankly." "I know what the trouble is," said the doctor, smiling. "He's memorizing some lodge work. I belong to the same lodge." TOLD BY PASSPORTS NOT A POETIC SOUL Cards Signified Much to Those Initiated. French Minister of Foreign Affairs Under Loula XVI Devised Ingenious System, Described by a Writer in the Century. The mysterious cards employed by the Count de Vergennes, who was minister for foreign affairs under Louis XVI, in his relations with the diplomatic agents of France exhibit great ingenuity in their arrangement and show what the political condition of Europe must have been at that time to require such precautions, writes John H. Haswell, who, in Century, describes many forms of "secret writing." The count was a great friend of America, and it was largely through his influence that the treaties of amity and commerce and of alliance of 1778 were concluded. These cards were used in letters of recommendation or passports which were given to strangers about to enter or depart from France; they were intended to furnish information without the knowledge of the bearers. This was the system: The cards given to a man contained only a few words, such as "Alphonse D'Angeha Recommende a Monsieur le Comte de Vergennes, par le Marquis de Puysegur, Ambassadeur de France a la Cour de Lisbonne." The card told more tales than the words written on it. Its color indicated the nation of the stranger. Yellow showed him to be English; red. Spanish; white, Portuguese; green, Dutch; red and white, Italian; red and green, Swiss; green and white, Russian, etc. The person's age was expressed by the shape of the card. If it was circular, he was under 25; oval, between 25 and 30; octagonal, between 30 and 45; hexagonal, between 45 and 50; square, between 50 and 60; an oblong showed that he was over 60. Two lines placed below the name of the bearer indicated his build. If he was tall and lean, the lines were waving and parallel; tall and stout, they converged; and so on. The expression of his face was shown by a flower on the border. A rose designated an open and amiable countenance, while a tulip marked a pensive and aristocratic appearance. A fillet round the border, according to its length, told whether the man was bachelor, married or widower. Dots gave information as to his position and fortune. A full stop after his name showed that he was a catholic; a semicolon, that he was a Lutheran; a comma, that he was a Calvinist; a dash that he was a Jew; no stop indicated him as an atheist. So also his morals and character were pointed out by a pattern in the angles of the card. So, at one glance the minister could tell all about his man, whether he was a gamester or a duellist; what was his purpose in visiting France; whether in search of a wife or to claim a legacy; what was his profession—that of a physician, lawyer or man of letters; whether he was to be put under surveillance or allowed to go his way unmolested. Reduced Mortality From Cancer. "Cancer has at last, by a steady and uniform increase year after year, reached a mortality of eight thousand," a recent bulletin of the New York state department of health reports. "Cancer as a disease has increased more rapidly than tuberculosis. The comparison with tuberculosis shows that in the preceding 20 years there have been 270,000 deaths from that cause and 100,000 from cancer." The bulletin adds: "Comparing cancer with the almost stationary mortality of consumption, it would appear that within another 20 years there will be more deaths from cancer than from consumption." Machine to Write Music A German musician has invented a machine which, he states, automatically registers the notes emitted by the piano. The new machine, Harper's Weekly states, has the same object as one invented by an Italian and used by Mascagni in writing his operas, but it is a larger instrument and is operated by electricity. Into the machine is inserted a roll of paper and the composer seats himself before the piano and executes the composition that he desires to give to the public. The machine faithfully registers every note produced, so that the musician does not have to depend upon his memory. Novels and Plays. An English writer describing the difficulties that lie in the way of a successful novelist becoming effective as a playwright notes that a novelist is free while the playwright is limited by the stage, and adds: "In a play it all has to take place in somebody's chambers and all the women of the play have to be got there somehow. The method mostly adopted is to take away their characters because then you can put them where you like." Fostering Canal Traffic In order to take care of the traffic on the New York state barge canal, which will be completed in 1915, an expenditure of $18,800,000 has been authorized for canal terminals in New York city and other cities along the canal. In New York city there will be 14 canal terminals, costing altogether $9,740,000. The remainder of the money will be spent in building terminals at 21 different cities and towns Maiden Might Be Classed as of the Earth, Earthy. Simple Narrative Which Further Proves That Love Must Endure Many Hardships in Its Search for a Kindred Feeling. He was a very poetic and impressionable youth, and, though she was a very prosaic maid, there was something very attractive about her and he often asked her to accompany him on moonlight walks along the country lanes. He was sometimes nettled at her interruptions, but, lost in reverie as he often was, he allowed her to prattle on until he recovered the thread of his discourse. They were crossing a small bridge over a creek, when he said: "Don't you admire a little bridge—" "Yes," she interrupted; "bridge is a great game. I often play with Mrs. Van Duser as my partner—" As she gossiped on he became lost in meditation. Coming to a broad river they paused at the margin and he exclaimed: "How wonderfully entrancing this is! Just to see the gleam on the waters! Don't you like the moonlight dancing—" "Yes," she chimed in, "dancing in the moonlight is so fine! I attend all the hops at the hotel, and there, on the broad, open platform—" He betrayed no disappointment at her lack of interest in their surroundings as they stood by the edge of the stream, and he wandered on with her into the open country. They lingered by a low stone wall as he said, impressed by the scene: "How wonderful is Nature in all her aspects! How inspiring the lofty trees and the grassy levels! Is it not a boon to get away from the city's heat? I pine so for the country zephyrys! Do you not feel a yearning in you for a cool—" "Yes," she said, "I'd ever so much like to have an ice—" And sadly he took his way back with her to the hotel, and ere long he disappeared into the narrow confines of his room, to get what comfort he could from his poetic musings.—Na than M. Levy in Judge. Thundering Legion The Thundering Legion was the twelfth legion of the Roman army under Marcus Aurelius, acting against the Quadi in the year A. D. 174. The legion was shut up in a defile and reduced to great straits for want of water, when a body of Christians, enrolled in the legion, prayed for relief. Not only was rain sent, but the thunder and lightning so terrified the enemy that a complete victory was obtained, and the legion was ever after called "The Thundering Legion." According to Brewer, the Theban Legion, i.e., the legion raised in the Thebais of Egypt, and composed of Christian soldiers led by St. Maurice, was likewise called "The Thundering Legion." Brewer, however, states that the term existed before either of these two were so called, but he gives no further explanation of the origin of the name. "Cleanliness is Next to Godliness." The author of the phrase, "cleanliness is next to Godliness," quoted by John Wesley in his sermon on "Dress," and again in his journal (February 12, 1772), is not known. Long before Wesley, Bacon had put the same idea into the words, "Cleanliness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God;" and Aristotle, still further back into "Cleanliness is half a virtue." But even long before Aristotle this well-known English phrase had been taught by the Rabbins of the Talmud, both as a religious principle and a sanitary law in the form: "The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness; carefulness into vigorousness; vigorousness into guiltlessness; guiltlessness into cleanliness; cleanliness into godliness." Typical Cross-Examination. Counsel—Do you know Julius Caesar? Witness—No, sir. Counsel—Have you ever met him? Witness—No, sir. Counsel—You remember that you are under oath? Witness—Yes, sir. Counsel—Then, if you have never met Julius Caesar, how can you say on your oath that you do not know him? Justice—I think we have had enough of this style of examination. Counsel—Your honor will please note my exception to your coming to the assistance of the witness. Justice—If you say that again I shall have you expelled from the courtroom.—Town Topics. Suppression of Oldest Newspaper. The president of the Chinese republic, Yuan Shai Kai, recently suppressed the newspaper King-Bao, which undoubtedly was the oldest paper in the world. For 1,500 years it has reported the more important news not only of China, but also of foreign countries. At the time when the art of printing and journalism was as yet unknown in Europe, the Chinese Gong-Chung invented a means for making types from lead and silver, and in the year 400 A. D. the paper King-Bao was printed, and has since been issued regularly until recently. The first edition was printed on ten sheets of yellow silk, neatly tied together, and was thus sent to all the high officials of the Chinese empire. en You Want s, Feet, Tails Snouts, Neckbone ings or any other part of the ho cept the squeal go to ast's Market When You Want When You Want The Heads, Feet, Tails Snouts, Neckbones or Chiterlings or any other part of the hog except the squeal go to ADD 3 CENTS FOR POSTAGE DAM M.

In Chicago, husbands like riches, frequently take wings and fly away—or they get away somehow. I met a number of women who had been deserted by their husbands in a very short time after they had reached that city. Wife desertion in Chicago surpasses that in any other city. Of course when these run away husbands are caught they are imprisoned, and are paroled only on promise that they will support their families. Often the courts collect the money from the employer of a paroled husband and pay it over to the deserted families. Last year the courts there collected and paid out $75,000. But by reason of lack of prominence the brother, bent on deserting his family, finds it easy to make his get away. And he is rarely ever found, and never returns, although he may be having a high old time just around the corner in another block. And then the whites have an effective method of discovering the wanderer (if white) and of persuading him to return home. They advertise for him in the daily papers, especially in the Sunday editions. His children write touching letters begging him, if alive, to return. These letters, often accompanied by the children's pictures, are printed in the papers. In many instances the man finds that there is only one of two things to do, either return home or get off the earth. Concealment in the white light of such publicity is out of the question. But such a weapon as this would prove non-effective in the case of nine-tenths of the absconding colored brothers. Hence their families spend the weary years in silent suffering looking as shipwrecked sailors for a sail which they know will never return. One woman ran a little lunch counter near the place where the league met. She was trying to make money enough to get back home down in Dixie. She said that when they moved there from the far south, the husband soon became fast, the town was fast, and the two had left her stranded and far away from home. The husband had never been seen since he left, pretending to be going to his job. Hundreds of them never "come back." Another woman was running a shoe shining stand, and while she polished my shoes she told me her illad of woes—husband had been gone for years, leaving her to bring up and support the children who in a few years had also disappeared. Therefore, gentle reader, before you move to Chicago, with your husband, see to it that you have his "adoption tried," and that you have his heart attached to you "with hooks of steel." "For in this naughty city old-fashioned love is regarded as a species of criminal madness—" "Old Hickory." A flag for the negro race has been designed by Bishop J. Lennox of the Zion African Evangelical church. Flags represent nations, not races. It is all nonsense to try to have the negro race adopt a specially designed flag. The only flag the American negro can lay just claim to is the Stars and Stripes. Negroes have volunteered in many of our country's wars to shed their blood that the honor of Old Glory might be upheld. The song, "Every race has a flag but the coon," simply displays ignorance, and the bishop displays his ignorance also. There is no football being played this year at Meharry Medical college and Pearl High school in Nashville, Tenn., by decision of the faculties of these two schools, because the young men have openly and flagrantly bet and gambled on the results of the games. This is to be regretted. Athletics, in all its legitimate forms, is a necessity, especially in American school life. Of itself the sport is not bad. It does see to us that plans could have been devised and a compelling moral crusade carried on to eliminate these bad practices, thereby retaining the game. If the sport was abolished without an effort first having been made to suppress the evils attendant upon it, the impression may go abroad that the course decided on is an acknowledgment of weakness on the part of the powers who refrained from attempting to regulate instead of abolishing. If he is poor, he is a boor; if he is well to do, he has the "czar microbe;" but if he is wealthy, he has that admirable characteristic of getting what he wants, when he wants it. Many prominent whites are frankly expressing the view that their race is responsible to a large degree for the American negro's condition, and are endeavoring to awaken more active interest in the work of American negro redemption and conservation. Our people have felt that way about the matter all along. Getting married costs much less than being married. Man proposes and hopes the woman opposes. The new attitude which southern college men are assuming toward the matter of race relationship is most encouraging. In the tolerant, broad-minded friendliness of the rising generation of college men lies the hope of the negro race. Eighteen months ago the Young Men's Christian association in colleges of the south launched a movement for a definite study of this problem of the negro by white college men. Our most sanguine hopes did not lead us to believe that we would be able to get more than 2,000 southern college men studying this question within the first year. In fact, so timid we were that at our student conference, where we gathered leaders from all of the colleges of the southwest, we planned to invite personally a group of more mature and broad-minded students to enter this study. We felt that if they became genuinely interested each man could go back to his college and start a similar study group. We had no hope that we would secure more than 15 or 20 men in this conference for this study. The negro course was announced as one of the seven courses in the study of home and foreign missions, and what was our amazement when we found that more than one-third of the students in the conference enrolled in the class for negro study. These men going back into various colleges so encouraged the study of this problem that during the term of 1910-1911 we were able to enroll some 4,000 college men in small groups in the study of this question. During the present college year of 1911-1912 we have already enrolled some 6,000 men. Thus it will be seen that in the last 18 months 10,000 southern white college men have been giving some genuine study to the big problems that connect themselves with race relationship in the south. W. D. Weatherford in the Southern Workman. Fred M. Johnson, negro globe trotter, who fought at San Juan Hill, has invented a belt feed rifle that, it is asserted, will fire 300 shots without stopping at the rate of 20 shots a second. Johnson says he has received word from the war department that his rifle is considered one of the wonders of the age, and that it soon will receive a trial. The Johnson gun is used much like an ordinary rifle, being about the same weight and length, but instead of the regular stock, the rifle is equipped with a brace which fastens to both shoulders, bringing the barrel to a level with the eye. A small crank fitted to the side of the barrel operates the belt so the cartridges are carried to the chamber, dicharged and the shells ejected simply by turning the crank. Johnson is now a resident of Cleveland, O. John H. Cebolt, 832 Camp street, Indianapolis, Ind., through his attorney here, William L. Houston, has been granted a patent by the patent office on his invention of a non-puncturable tire for automobiles. His patent tire can be punctured with a six or eight penny nail without necessitating stopping for repairs. It is so constructed that no matter how badly the outside rim is punctured the inside tire remains intact. The invention will be a boon to automobile owners, and ought to prove a fortune for the inventor. Every man in a crowded trolley car wonders why the other men do not give up their seats to the women who are standing. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft are the last nine men elected to the presidency of these United States. Of this number, three were assassinated—Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. An attempt has been made on Roosevelt's life. Thus nearly half the number were targets for bullets fired by irresponsible enemies of government. If it is necessary to safeguard the lives of crowned heads in Europe, it is more necessary to protect our governmental leaders far better than they have been protected, for America is almost an unrestricted mecca for those who have failed in their insane and fanatical attempts to have all forms of government abolished. Everyone has some part of his work that he can cheerfully part with, and the boy who starts to work without specially defined duties, is apt to soon find himself the busiest person about. The human family acquired the habit of running one another down long before the motor car did it. He who lives to regret has not lived in vain. A twenty-year-old Kansas colored girl stood six civil service examinations and held first place in five out of the six and stood second in the sixth one. Here is a fine example of negro pluck, intelligence and education. The man who gets in late in the morning and leaves on time with his desk cleared isn't a genius so often as a papa's pet. PREPARING SALAD AND FRUIT Methods That Are Not New, But Have Successfully Withstood Test of Tire. Escalloped Squash.—Cut the squash into small pieces and boll until tender, but not soft enough to mash. Butter a baking dish and cover the bottom with a layer of squash, over which sprinkle a little salt, a little sugar and a few bits of butter. Keep doing this until the dish is full. On top, in addition to the seasoning, add a little grated nutmeg. Pour in about two-thirds of a cup of milk and bake in a moderate oven. Serve hot. Egg Plant Salad.—Cut the egg plant in quarter-inch slices, pare, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute them quickly in hot butter. Drain on cheese cloth; when cold, cut them in dice, sprinkle on them some minced watercress and cover with a cream salad dressing made by stirring three teaspoons of grated horseradish, three tablespoons of lemon juice, one-half teaspoon of salt and a dash of paprika into one cup of thick whipped cream. Baked Quinces.—Core and pare eight ripe, juicy quinces. Put them into a buttered baking dish and fill the cavities with sugar. Sprinkle the remains of three-quarters of a cup of sugar over them and add one and a half cups of water. Cover and bake until soft in a moderate oven, basting often. Quinces require a long time for cooking. Serve hot with butter and sugar. Red and White Pickle.—Select one large or two small heads of cauliflower, break into bits. To this add one half pint of small onions, two red peppers. Dissolve one-quarter pint of salt in sufficient vinegar to cover vegetables. Let stand over night, drain in morning. Heat one quart of vinegar and two tablespoons of mustard until it boils, put in vegetables, boil 15 minutes, bottle and seal. SEEK WELL-BALANCED DIET Of the Utmost Importance to the Health and Welfare of All the Family. It is the duty of the housewife to furnish a well balanced diet to the members of her family. By taking something from each group of food materials she will be able to supply all of the five food substances—protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and water—which are necessary. The correct proportions of each, however, must be determined by the individual requirements and peculiarities. Appetite, age, sex, occupation, climate and season must all be considered when making a well-regulated diet for the normal person. "It should always be remembered that 'the ideal diet is that combination of foods which, while imposing the least burden on the body, supplies it with exactly sufficient material to meet its wants,' and that any disregard of such a standard must inevitably prevent the best development of our powers." The vegetable foods—peas, beans, lentils and nuts, particularly peanuts—that may in a measure supplant meat should often be found on the table. The peanut paste or butter made from finely-ground nuts is pleasing to the taste and very nutritious. Peanut-butter sandwiches make a wholesome lunch for school children. Cupboard for Cooked Food. I have been using for several years a home-made food closet which has proved to be a great convenience, writes a contributor. In warm weather, as I have no ice, I cook often, and place the food, until wanted, in the closet, which is well ventilated and safe from files and ants. It stands in a cool room with open windows. It is four feet high, five feet long and two feet wide with three shelves. It has four short legs which raise it from the floor about six inches. The legs stand in small pans of water containing a little kerosene. Two doors with panels of fine wire netting occupy the entire front. The food closet is neatly painted and varnished and is both ornamental and useful, not only in summer, but in cool weather find it a safe and handy place to keep cooked food. Beef Balls. Cut beef from top of round in strips, and scrape. Season this with salt and form into small balls, using as little pressure as possible. Cook the balls for one minute in a very hot frying pan, shaking the pan constantly to keep them rolling. The little balls will be lightly browned all over, looking like chocolate. To serve them temptingly, pile a few on a pretty plate, in a tiny pyramid, with a sprig or two of parsley, and narrow strips of crisp toast. Handy Stick. A smooth, strong stick, about forty inches long, with a notch in one end, is a useful thing to have in the house. With it pictures may be lifted by the wire from their hooks and replaced without climbing up and down a step ladder. Apple Float Press one quart of nice stewed apples, from which all surplus liquor has been drained, through a sieve. Add juice of one lemon and sugar to taste. Beat into it the whipped whites of three eggs. Serve at once with cream. Raw Beef Sandwiches. Cut stale bread very thin, butter slightly, remove crusts, spread half the bread with scraped beef well salted. Serve in sandwich form, cutting the sandwiches small. MRS. FREDERICK HATTON ON HOW TO TRAIN GIRLS "I don't agree with him. He seems to me an unjust judge." Mrs. Frederic Hatton referred to the Connecticut justice who said that every married couple should be compelled to remain together for one year, whether they wished or not. He is of the opinion that if a bride comes home crying to mamma she should be bundled Hatton referred to the Connecticut justice who said that every married couple should be compelled to remain together for one year, whether they wished or not. He is of the opinion that if a bride comes home crying to mamma she should be bundled back home without more ado, and that a husband's presence at his own fireside should be compulsory for the first twelve months. "The first year is the trial year of marriage." was the justice's conclusion, "and if a couple weather that there is a good chance for the permanence of marriage. It is the period of adjustment to each other's faults and habits, and impatient natures rebel against the adjustment. That is the reason there are so many divorces growing out of the difficulties in the first year. I am tired of these first-year cases, and shall always order them to stand each other for a full twelve months." Mrs. Hatton, twice wedded and the mother of three children, a woman of social position in Chicago and well known in New York, has the wisdom drawn from the well of experience. "The first year of married life should be, and generally is, the happiest," she said. "It has the charm of early romance. It is an afterglow of the courtship. Many couples who are blissfully happy then get on badly afterward, for when the first flush of romance has faded it takes well-grounded character to make marriage a success. The Connecticut judge didn't go back far enough. It takes three generations to make a good wife. A girl's mother and grandmother and great grandmother should have been trained for happy and efficient wifehood. "First and last in all the arts of housewifery, no man will be content unless his home is well kept. But even if a girl's mother is incompetent, the girl need not despair. The poorest can learn household arts in one of the public training schools. "A girl should have a good education, so that she can start on a companionable basis with her husband in their married life. And after that she should continue her education by keeping herself informed about current events. "The reason I spoke of the three generations required to produce a good wife is not one of snobbery. But the good wife is considerate, and three generations of consideration make the exercise of that grace easy. It is a dreadful thing to be familiar with a member of one's own family." Mrs. Hatton's印象 dark eyes laughed. "My mother and I have always been formally polite to each other. She insisted upon it, and I've grown to like it. "The three generations are more or less necessary for another quality in happy wifehood. That is the preservation of affections. Some of our girls are overeducated. They are educated until all trace of natural feeling is trained out of them. Too high education or too much of it has snapped the home ties for them. A girl goes to the ordinary girl's school, then to a finishing school, then to college, and she isn't through until she is twenty-five or twenty-six years old. That is too late. She should leave at twenty to give her time to learn the other things she needs to know "Summing up the training of a girl for happy wifehood I should say she ought to know and be many things. A woman, especially a wife, is like an actress of many parts. She should be versatile, and versatility can be trained as well as born. One form of versatility is tact, and a loving, tactful wife of a worthy husband has no reason to fear what his honor of Connecticut calls the trial year of marriage." VISCOUNTESS ESHER AND ARTS OF THE KITCHEN Viscountess Esher's scheme for instructing women in the arts of cook- ery and housekeeping commenced in London a few weeks ago. Lady Esher and friends are entering seriously into the work, and they attend the Mayfair branch of the County of London Voluntary Aid association fully equipped for real hard work in the arts of the P kitchen. In addition to cookery there are classes on home nursing and first aid and kindred subjects. It is from April 2014 saumon orphaned and Esher has inaugurated her ambulance classes. She thinks that the women of England should be ready to do their part in case of emergency, just as the men should be ready to fight. She wishes, too, to save some of the many infant lives that are lost yearly through the incapacity of the mothers. There are both afternoon and evening classes in cooking and housekeeping, but, from the relative attendances, it would appear that these subjects appeal more to the woman of leisure than to the business girl. MRS. HARRIMAN GUARDIAN OF IMMENSE FORTUNE From a home-loving and comparatively unknown woman, Mrs. Mary Averill Harriman, the widow of the great American financier and famous railroad king, Edward H. Harriman, has joined the front ranks of the great army of women who wield a powerful influence in the business and philanthropic world today. No woman ever received Averil Harriman, the widow of the great American financier and famous railroad king, Edward H. Harriman, has joined the front ranks of the great army of women who wield a powerful influence in the business and philanthropic world today. No woman ever received a higher tribute to her business acumen than was paid to Mrs. Harriman by her late husband, when he trusted his entire fortune into the care and keeping of his wife. The confidence he placed in her was attested by the drawing up of his now famous will, which reads: I, Edward H. Harriman of Arden, in the state of New York, do make, publish and declare this as and for my last will and testament, that is to say: I give, devise and bequeath all my property, real and personal, of any and every nature, to my wife, Mary W. Harriman, to be hers absolutely and forever, and I do hereby nominate and appoint the said Mary W. Harriman executrix of this will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this eighth day of June in the year of nineteen hundred and three. This will, containing less than a hundred words, bestowed property upon Mrs. Harriman valued at $149,000,000 or at the rate of over a million dollars a word. To the public this remarkable document appeared very curious. But E. H. Harriman knew well the executive ability of the woman in whose hands he trusted his millions. Indeed, it was a well-known fact, that there was but one person in the world who possessed Mr. Harriman's entire confidence, and that one was his wife. Mrs. Harriman has manifested a remarkable capacity for business. Her suite of offices on Fifth avenue, New York, occupies comparatively the entire second floor. Here she may be found daily, actively engaged in administering the affairs of the vast Harriman estate—the directing of every detail connected with the management of that great fortune is entirely under her supervision. She has already shown the world what a woman can accomplish. Today she is accredited as being the greatest woman banker in the country. The recent changing a state bank in which the late Mr. Harriman had been a large stockholder, to a national institution, was brought about through the influence of Mrs. Harriman. It is generally considered by railroad men that their business, is a "man's game." a profession of which a woman has little influence; but in the railroad world today Mrs. Harriman is a striking example of the exception of this rule—for she is recognized as a most influential and powerful factor in the affairs of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific roads. HON. ALBINA BRODRICK SEEKS AMERICAN IDEAS The Hon. Albina Brodrick, a sister of the Viscount Middleton and widely known in Ireland for her charitable work among the poor of Ballincoona, her home, arrived in America, a few days ago, and will devote the next few months to a study of American hospitals. A. Miss Broderick is the founder of a small hospital at Ballincoona and, in the capacity of head nurse, devotes her entire time to the institution. Her services are given without pay, and she said on her arrival, that she never, while at the hospital, spent more than a dollar a week for herself. The greater part of even that small sum she declared went for books, mostly volumes on nursing and hospital work. Miss Brodrick was a second cabin passenger on board the steamer. She engaged a first class stateroom a month before she left England, but subsequently arranged for second class accommodation and devoted the difference in cost to her hospital in Ireland. While in America much of her time will be spent at Columbia University, New York, where she will enroll as a special student for the course on nursing. She said that nursing as a profession was far in advance in this country, and she felt that her studies here would be of inestimable benefit when applied at her hospital in Ballincoona. How the Finest Caviar is Cured. The finest caviar is the bieluga, prepared from the roe of the white strongeon; little less fine is the sevriuga, prepared at Astrakhan, Russia. According to United States Consul John H. Grout, stationed at Odessa, the roe is rubbed through a sieve with care not to break the grain. It falls into brine, where it remains for three or four hours, after which it is packed in sacks and allowed to drain. This is the only preparation given to the best caviar. The cheaper varieties are more strongly salted. Caviar is digested with ease and is one of the finest forms of nourishment, especially for the sick.

Not every one can afford frocks of silk velvet, so velveteen was manufactured as a substitute. It is lovely, and gives practically the same effect as silk velvet when made up. Velveteen and corduroy are used to fashion many smart frocks for street wear. Plain colors are more frequently used for the velveteen models. They are effectively trimmed with fur, metallic laces, Persian or tapestry embroidery. Velveteen does not adapt itself so successfully to draping as do the softer velvets, so the skirts are usually plain or with pleated insets. The bodices are jumper effects, with gulumps of lace or chiffon. Corduroys in the soft-finished qualities are extensively used. Frocks and coat suits are developed of this material and seem to find a ready sale. The two-tone corduroys in brown and tan, blue and black and white are especially favored. In plain colors, dark blue, brown, black and burgundy are the shades more frequently used. - This is a smart little blouse to be worn with a costume skirt. It is in soft chiffon taffetas, with embroidery on the shoulders, center front straps and cuffs. Two deep folds are made from the shoulders to waist each side. Materials required: $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 Vogue of Moire. Moire is being used extensively for suits this fall, as well as for trimmings. There are several classes of moire, including the moire antique, the moire velours and the regence. The latter denotes the ribbed weaves as applied to the moires. The changeable and chameleon effects are shown in the moires quite as often as the plain. The taffeta moire has a beautiful but not too sharply defined watery effect which makes it very desirable. This fabric has almost ousted the changeable taffeta. Pretty Thing Evolved by Clever Girl In a Most Economical and Simple Manner. A novel and most economical way to make a pretty tea-tray was discovered by a girl who is very clever with her wits and her fingers. She first purchased for forty cents a large oval picture frame from a second-hand store, securing a very good bit of natural old woodwork. Then with a bottle of stain, some sand-paper and a little varnish she polished up the wood to look like new, then screwed on two brass handles, one at each end, afterwards cutting a piece of pretty cretonne the same size as the glass, and pasting it smoothly where the picture would ordinarily go. Covering it with the boards that belong to the frame, tacked securely into place, the entire back then being covered with a piece of felt, when she found herself possessed of a most fetching tea-tray which in the shops would cost from $1 to $8. Care of the Skin. Before going to bed at night, sponge the face, neck and arms in a solution of cold salt water. You will find yourself awakening in the morning with that desirable slight pink glow, which you so often see in the face of a child at this time. Another skin stimulator is a small place of ice, placed in a soft piece of linen and rubbed gently over the entire face and neck, care being taken to reach every part of the surface about the eyes and eyelids. This should not be done to excess; and afterward the face should be gently but thoroughly dried, and a little cold cream applied. All cream that the flesh has not absorbed should be removed, especially from the face that has a tendency toward being hirsute. Evening Dresses The Grecian draperies and oriental colorings strongly dominate the very exclusive evening dresses, says the Dry Goods Economist. Embossed velvet patterns on chiffon cloth, on charmeuse, on satin or brought out on cloth of gold and silver are utilized. Metallic brocades, gold and silver tissues, moire and plain cloth of gold and silver, as well as rich embroidered fabrics, are represented in many of the most favored models. Rich laces are also in favor, particularly the finer varieties, such as Chantilly and Bohemian. Venise is used mostly as a finishing touch on velvet models. Extreme Effects. Some of the extreme panier effects introduced this season suggest an ordinary sack combined with Turkish trousers. The pannier is slightly gathered into the waistband and falls between the knee and the ankle, over a plain narrow skirt; so that the fullness lays over it. This style is usually carried out in the flowered silks or chiffon that suggests the modes of Louis XIV. Fur in Neckwear. Among the distinctly new ideas in neckwear are the novelties in which tiny bands of fur are utilized on the collar portion and, in some instances, on the jabot, is the statement made in a recent issue of the Dry Goods Economist PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669.
