PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HOUNDING THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH VOL. XIX. HOUND THE IN THE It has become so in the Northern States, as it has long been in the Southern States, that no horrible crime against the person and life of a white woman, can be committed that the newspapers and the police do not immediately connect a Negro with the outrage and refuse to be convinced until they have worked the clue to a frazzle. The damage done to the name and reputation of the Negro people by the hue and cry after them in any place where such crime has been committed lasts long after the crime has been avenged by the law or the mob, and follows decent Negroes like a ghost of death in all public places, by the police and public opinion, and in their daily employments and efforts to get honest work, and such efforts are hard and discouraging enough under the best and most normal conditions. Even in New York City, when a great crime has been committed, the Negro is first suspected as an individual and placed under suspicion as a race by the police, the public and the newspapers. If the individual Negro proves to be the real offender they promptly discredit the whole race. It has come to be a deadly enemy, viperous, impossible for the Negro to protect himself against, because it reduces if it does not destroy his opportunity to earn an honest living. It makes many good people afraid to have Negroes about them in any sort of service. A good reputation is the best capital any man, any race, any nation can have, as a bad reputation is the worst. We have a striking case as illustration in the brutal attack that resulted in the death of a young white woman on the outskirts of Trenton, N. J., December 3. She never regained consciousness, but in her delirum she murmured something like "a dark man with side whiskers," and the police and newspapers got busy, arresting Negroes right and left and putting them through "the third degree," whatever that may be, with flaring headlines, and kept it up every day until the last week of the month, when a young German confessed that he had committed the crime. When he found that the police had the confession he denied it, and they, the police and newspapers, while holding him, say of him that he is crazy. Perhaps he is. Most people who commit such crimes, like Judas Iscariot, are of two minds, and sure of neither, until they are hanged or separated from their fellow citizens by life imprisonment. While the hunt for the criminal was in full cry Negro men of respectable character were afraid to go abroad in Trenton or to look at a white woman when they did so, fearful that the argus eyes of the police and the reporters would be upon them. So they were. Mercer County was lashed to fury against the Negro because it was suspected that one of them committed the crime and all of them were placed under suspicion, not avowedly but implicit. It is a fearful thing to indict a whole race, justly or unjustly, and that is what happens when the police, justly or unjustly, look for a criminal or "suspect" in every Negro they meet. No newspaper in the country can have less sympathy with crime and criminals than The Age, but we should consider ourselves base indeed to indict all the white people of any community—which did not indict themselves as the people of Coatesville and West Chester, Pa., did—because of the criminal acts of one or twelve of their number—New York Age. WOULD REVOKE Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 8.—Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania, in his annual message to the Legislature, makes the recommendation that the charter of the Borough of Coatesville, Chester county, be revoked by the Legislature because of the obstructive tactics the citizens of Chester county, to when efforts were made to punish those guilty of burning at the stake Zack Walker. The colored man was burned to death because he had been charged with killing a police officer. "I believe that this authority of the Legislature (the power to revoke a municipal charter) should be invoked with respect to the borough of Coatesville," reads Gov. Tener's message, "and that her charter be taken away. Governmental functions were given DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JANUARY 18 1913. State Hiat & Nat Hiat Society State House HANTS WH ADO Z JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO her as an arm of the State, but she has betrayed the trust reposed in her. "Had her officers or her citizens done their duty the Commonwealth would not have been disgraced and her fair name dishonored. People of this borough, by fomenting murder and consorting with murderers, have not only violated the laws and obstructed the administration of justice, but, in my judgment, have forfeited the high privilege of further acting as a Governmental agency of the State. I therefore recommend the enactment of appropriate legislation providing for the dissolutson of boroughs, to the end that State agencies like the borough of Coatesville, which set the laws at defiance and outrage the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth, may be obliterated from among her orderly municipalities." BANK CELEBRATION Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 7. — Total deposits in one day aggregating $15,000, out of which were 300 new accounts, was the record-breaking achievement of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank at the formal opening of its new $50,000 steel-constructed, six-story building on January 1st. The incident was the principal feature of the celebration commemorating the fiftieth emancipation of the Negro. All day long from 9 o'clock until 6 steady streams of people inspected the beautiful building, Negroes in every walk of life made deposits and all were given handsome souvenirs. Music and flowers greeted the visitors and polite attendants ushered them from floor to floor. The elevatora were crowded all day. It is estimated that fully 10,000 people visited the building. In introducing the speakers Dr. Pettiford took occasion to review briefly the history of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank. "You are also celebrating the accomplishments of Negroes in the financial world," declared Dr. Pettiford. "You have sixty two banks in the United States, three of them North of the Mason and Dixon's line, leaving the great majority of them South, where we are endeavoring to work out our material salvation with honest work and faithful living. These banks represent about four million in stock and over ten million in deposit. >Your own bank in which you are directly interested opened its doors for business October 15, 1890, with a capital stock of $3,000 and on the close of business that day $555.75 had been deposited. In a rented building on Eighteenth street this venture was started and today it has a volume of business --- of $497,000 and stockholders representing twenty-four states, the District of Columbia and Cuba; three branches, in Selma, Montgomery and Anniston, the directors of which have holdings of their individual capacity to the amount of $480,000. You are in your own six-story reinforced building, at a cost of $60,000. Your president and cashier, who led the founding of this institution, have held these positions for twenty-two years." NOTES INDICATING NEGRO BUSINESS PROGRESS Supplied By The National Negro Business League The National Benefit Association of Washington, District of Columbia headed by Samuel W. Rutherford, employs upward of 500 colored persons. Among the business plants of Nashville, Tennessee, are listed two banks, three undertaking establishments, two photographers, two hospitals and two publishing houses. In Virginia the total value of property owned by Negroes increased from $12,089,965 in 1891 to $32,944,246 in 1911. In this latter year the Negroes of the state paid $312,000 taxes. Leading colored physicians and citizens are behind a movement to build a $50,000 hospital for the colored of New York City. The McDonough Hospital Association, which is named after the pioneer colored physician in the city, is the agency through which those interested hope to accomplish their aim. Of the 23,000 inhabitants in Meridian, Mississippi, 10,000 are Negroes. Fifty per cent of these 10,000, it is estimated, own their homes. There are among the Negro business men one photographer one fruit dealer and one firm of undertakers, one milliner, one blacksmith, two drugstores, two doctors, four dentist, three shoemakers, two restaurants, six barbershops, four dressmakers, two real estate men, four contractors, two markets, four men running hack lines, ten tailors and twelve grocers. The Baltimore Hotel, a leading hostelry of Kansas City, Mo., after dispensing with colored help last spring, has been compelled to discharge the white waiters and recall the Negroes. The patrons of this hotel found that they were not served equally as well by the white help and left and went to other hotels using colored help. This compelled the Baltimore management to employ the colored boys. RACE NEWS The John Wanamaker store of Philadelphia gives employment to 300 colored people; 119 in the dairy, 83 on the elevators, 20 in the tea room, 21 in the help's lunch room, 3 in the printing department, 3 in the ware-house, 2 in the stables, and 10 as waiters and 10 as porters. Two enterprising Negroes of Austin, Texas, have organized and chartered "The Texas Colonization and Development Company." They have purchased 10,000 acres of land in Houston County, which is being sold in tracts of ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred acres to Negroes only parts, was Tennessee's foremost man of color. His recent death was heralded across the globe and his wealth was estimated at a million or more. He had several children prominent here and in other cities, but when his will was filed trouble began. Mrs. Napier, his first daughter, became the object of attack from the other children. They claimed that she was but a half sister and was not entitled to share in the estate. Mr. Napier prominent in the insurance and real estate business in Vancouver, B.C., determined that the best way to fight for his wife's rights was to be on the ground. So with the advice of eminent Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 8. Isaac D. Martin, a Negro of Pratt City, Jefferson county, who raised two hundred bushels of corn on one acre of land, today was awarded a second prize of $150 in the State corn contest. This is the first time a prize in the contest has been won by a Negro. Washington, D. C., Jan. 7. While in Washington last week Bishop Alexander Walters was entertained by Register of the Treasurer, J. C. Napier. Among those present were several prominent residents of Washington and Ralph E. Langston, of New York. Quite a lively tilt is on between The Chicago Defender and The Chicago Broad Ax as to the merits and demerits of "Lil Arthur Johnson." The former paper loses no opportunity to boost the champion, while the latter publication goes after the prize fighter with hammer and tongs. The recent episode of Johnson and his wife being hissed at the Eighth Regiment Ball last week furnished the material for the principal or "big" story of the Broad Ax, in "airing" the circumstance, while the Defender devoted more than a column in an interview of the champion who "tuck" up for himself in a scathing rebuke of the colored people who snubbed him.—Indianapolis Leader. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 10. Wuen it was announced some days ago that Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Napier of Vancouver, B.C., were in the city, the prominent citizens realized that the rumors of dissatisfaction among the heirs of the late Robert Church were true. Mr. Church, "Bob Church" as he was known in these NO 19 parts, was Tennessee's foremost man of color. His recent death was heralded across the globe and his wealth was estimated at a million or more. He had several children prominent here and in other cities, but when his will was filed trouble began. Mrs. Napier, his first daughter, became the object of attack from the other children. They claimed that she was but a half sister and was not entitled to share in the estate. Mr. Napier prominent in the insurance and real estate business in Vancouver, B. C., determined that the best way to fight for his wife's rights was to be on the ground. So with the advice of eminent counsel in their home city, supplemented by a conference with a famous Chicago attorney, they are here ready as they say "for the fray." Washington, Jan. 13.—A story of how copies of letters from John D. Archbold to former Senator Foraker and other public men were taken from the Standard Oil company's office at 26 Broadway, New York, by W. W. Winkfield and Charles Stump, Negro messenger employed by the company, was told to the senate campaign fund investigating committee today by Gilchrist Stewart, a Negro law clerk. Stewart said he was employed by Mr. Foraker to investigate whether certain photographic copies of letters published were forgeries. Winkfield was found in Chicago. Stewart said, and told him a story of how he and Stump took copies of letters from the Standard Oil files and disposed of them to a representative of the New York American. While in Chicago on December 21, Stewart declared, he was kidnapped by "gangsters," taken to the office of the Chicago Examiner and robbed of a number of letters and papers, including two letters to him from former Senator Foraker. Accomplishing. It is very important that the young man select his life work early and bend every energy toward accomplishing something. One of the most common causes of failure in this life lies in the fact that men do not see the importance of being thorough until it is too late.—Florence Vidette. Still Admired the Ring. Still Admired the Ring. A few days ago Maud, who was a little jealous of Ethel, said: "When you broke your engagement with Jack, of course you returned the diamond ring he gave you?" Ethel answered promptly. "No, and I don't intend to, either. I don't care for Jack any more, but my feelings have not changed toward the ring"—National Monthly.

Suggests in Biennial Message That Ten New Laws Be Enacted and Party's Pledges Kept. Western Newspaper Union News Service. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE IN BRIEF. Points out marvelous prosperity throughout the state. Mentions great benefits, monetary, mental and physical, ensuing from the penitentiary system. Explains the grounds on which no full pardons have been issued. Urges larger appropriation for State University and shows efficiency of all educational institutions. Urges fulfillment of the following platform pledges: Railroad anti-pass law; pledged in 1908. Public service commission law; pledged in 1908. Bank guaranty law; pledged in 1908, 1910 and 1912. Employes' compensation act. Board of control of all penal and charitable institutions. New Laws Recommended. Repeal of assembly feature of direct primary law. Constitutional amendment placing the appointment of all executive officers in the hands of the governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate. A usury law to curb "loan sharks," with rates of interest not exceeding 12 per cent per annum. The reapportionment of the counties of the state for legislative, judicial and congressional purposes. A law simplifying civil and criminal practice, and if necessary the appointing of a commission of lawyers to prepare such a bill. A new coal mining law. A general state auto license law similar to the one in Massachusetts. An appropriation of $100,000 for representation for Colorado at the San Francisco and the San Diego fairs. Laws to prevent the monopoly of natural resources. One in particular preventing corporations or individuals from acquiring more than 5,000 acres of Colorado coal land. Laws limiting and regulating campaign contributions. Denver:—Governor John F. Shafroth read his farewell biennial message to the Legislature in joint assembly in the House chamber on the 14th. The message deals with the accomplishments of the administration during the last four years, and particularly with reference to the last biennial period. Development of the state, the fact that Colorado has placed upon its statute books within that period some of the most progressive laws ever passed in he United States and outlining the need for other progressive legislation and the need of laws that will make it necessary for the government to open the vast public domain to Colorado settlers, were taken up in the message. Also, the governor urged upon the legislators the desirability of the Democratic party fulfilling every pre-election pledge by the passage of laws as promised. He invoked the good will of the goddess of success for his successor, E. M. Ammons. Governor-elect Ammons unostentiously slipped into the House chamber, made his way along one of the side ashes to a vacant seat and remained there, observed by few, during the reading of the message. After briefly reciting the prosperity of the state with statistics, Governor Shafroth gave a list of thirty-three laws enacted during the term, which, he says, entitle the state to rank as the most progressive in the union. The last six mentioned were initiated by the people. The governor spoke of the progress of the various state institutions. The penitentiary, he says, has been conducted on $26,000 less than the appropriation of the period before. The earnings of the institution in gardening, building and road work have been above $350,000. The good accomplished in the welfare of prisoners, he states, has been immeasurable. Bills Introduced in Senate. S. B. 14, W. C. Robinson—Another anti-pass bill. S. B. 15, by Pearson—Providing for the creation of a state board of examiners for chiropractics and authorizing the practice of that profession. S. B. 16. Cross—"Blue sky" law, providing for the suppression of fake investment companies and promoters. S. B. 17, Cross—Confirming the right of irrigators by direct appropriation through ditches to uninterrupted flow of their priorities during irrigation season. S.

B. 25, Burris—Prescribing the number necessary to a crew on freight trains. S. B. 27, Reynolds—Establishing a state sugar beet chemist and local chemists at sugar beet factories. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Does the negro in our country have a fair chance as compared with the native black man in Africa, the home of the negro? asks Boofer T. Washington, who, in the Century Magazine, discusses the question, "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" In the midst of the preparation of this article, I met Bishop Isaiah B. Scott of the Methodist Episcopal church, one of the strongest and most intelligent colored men that I know. Bishop Scott has spent the greater part of his life in the southern states, but during the last seven years he has lived in Liberia and traveled extensively on the west coast of Africa, where he has come into contact with all classes of European white people. In answer to my question, Bishop Scott dictated the following sentence, which he authorized me us use: "The fairest white man that I have met in dealing with the colored man is the American white man. He understands the colored man better because of his contact with him and he has more respect for the colored man who has accomplished something." Basing my conclusions largely on conversations which I have had with native Africans, with negro missionaries and with negro diplomatic officials who have lived in Africa, especially on the west coast and in South Africa, I am led to the conclusion that, all things considered, the negro in the United States has a better chance that he has in Africa. In certain directions the negro has had greater opportunities in the states in which he served as a slave than he has had in the states in which he has been for a century or more a free man. This statement is borne out by the fact that in the south the negro rarely has to seek labor, but on the other hand, labor seeks him. In all my experience in the southern states, I have rarely seen a negro man or woman seeking labor who did not find it. In the south the negro has business opportunities that he does not have elsewhere. Reduced to its lowest terms, the fact is that a large, part of our racial troubles in the United States grow out of some attempt to pass and execute a law that will make and keep one man superior to another, whether he is intrinsically superior or not. No greater harm can be done to any group of people than to let them feel that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race, or because of his color, he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. Make yourself agreeable to a man and he will want to borrow money from you. Make yourself agreeable to a woman and she will want to marry you. The American negro is progressing. When he was given his liberty, practically half a century ago, only three per cent of the blacks could read and write. Now 68 per cent of the negroes are educated. The negroes are rapidly acquiring farms in the south and are making good farmers, thanks to the education and training at such institutions as Tuskegee. Of the 10,000,000 negroes in the country 1,000,000 reside in the north. You can't judge a woman by her looks when she looks as if she didn't know you were looking. The negroes of Guthrie, Okla, support a wide-awake library. It was established by negro club women in 1908. In a city of fewer than 2,500 negroes, this library has had 2,200 visits in one month; has loaned 150 books in the same length of time, and has added to its shelves 765 volumes. The report of the third quarter is as follows: Registered visits, 2,000; books loaned, 1,000; books added, 265; members to date, 800. Since the opening in 1908: Registered visits, 27,056; books loaned, 10,810; books donated, more than 2,000. The library maintains a Young Men's Christian association, a children's story hour club and a lecture course on domestic science and home making for our women. There is no such institution in the state doing so much for race uplift. Mrs. J. C. Horton is the librarian. In a recent ten days' campaign the negroes of Baltimore, Md., pledged $31,000 toward a Young Men's Christian association building. This is another one of the cities to cover the $25,000 offered by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist. Frankfort, Ind.—John Berry, colored, who has been employed at the O. K. barber shop here as a porter, has musical talent and a short time back wrote two sacred songs, a comic opera and a short story, sending them all to a Chicago company. The company accepted his offerings and sent him a check for $3,000 for the comic opera, $200 each for two sacred songs and $67 for the story. Berry was so delighted that he resigned his position, left for his home at Muncie and will devote his entire time to writing music. Now that the election is over, we want to urge with all the force at our command that our people settle down to "hard pan" and devote themselves to the matters of life which are really going to tell for themselves and their children. During the next eight or ten months it will possibly be true that a dozen prominent colored people in the United States will be put out of prominent federal jobs, and a smaller number be put into prominent federal jobs. All this will affect the individuals concerned, but will affect only in a very slight measure the progress of the millions of our race. The future of the millions of black people is not dependent upon a few individuals being put out of office or being put into office, but is dependent upon the success of our people in getting land, building houses, organizing schools, colleges, universities, churches and securing justice in the courts and in public travel. We advise that for the next few months our people cease to discuss politics, cease political activity in a large measure and devote themselves to the importance of conditions in their community. We advise that a Negro Business league be organized in every community, that a literary society be organized, that a woman's club be organized wherever these organizations do not now exist, and wherever they do exist new work should be cut out for them and the organization strengthened. Let us get down to business in relation to the uplift of our race materially, educationally, morally, religiously, spiritually and civilly. There is plenty of work to do in every community. What is done in Washington will concern the people at home very little, but what is done in each individual community will mean the uplift and strength of 10,000,000 people. Let us cease political speculation and get down to real business.—New York Age. An investigation in Kansas City, Kan., reveals some interesting facts about the negroes of that city. It has been found that out of a negro population of 23,566 800 are property owners. Washington, D. C.—At a banquet given by Counselor Thomas L. Jones at his residence, 1901 New Hampshire avenue Northwest, a few evenings ago, the guests became involved in a lengthy discussion on the subject, "Shall We Call Ourself Negroes or Colored People?" The banquet was attended by some of the leading negro residents of the Capital city. Dr. John R. Francis, one of the most prominent of the local negro physicians, declared that colored people was preferred, but he met bitter opposition from Ralph W. Tyler, the negro auditor for the navy department. The question had equal support among those present, and after some discussion the subject was dropped for a more pleasant one. Among those present at the banquet were Judge Robert H. Terrell, who presided as toastmaster; J. P. Napier, register of the treasury department; Auditor Tyler, Dr. Francis, Prof. Kelly Miller of the Howard university; Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools; Calvin Chase, Rev. S. T. Brown, Rev. Dr. T. L. Garner, George W. Cook, Frank P Plumber, Walter Welbourne, Professor Tibbs, J. C. Thomas, Jr., of New York and R. W. Thompson. Allensworth, Cal., a negro colony, is completing a new grammar school. "One of the best colony schools in the state," the neighboring papers say. Washington, D. C.—Negro waiters employed in the various hotels and cafes of Washington are considering the establishment of a school for waiters, where those desiring to engage in this employment, as well as men already working, may become proficient in the niceties of good service. A meeting was held in the lecture room of Shilloh Baptist church, with about 50 colored waiters in attendance, at which the establishment of such a school was discussed, and preliminary steps were taken. At the meeting preliminary steps were taken for the organization of a Waiters' Educational society and A. H. Underdown was chosen temporary president, with C. J. Cole temporary secretary. The Philadelphia Tribune celebrated its twenty-eighth anniversary by purchasing an $8,000 building into which it is shortly to move. Negroes who engage in business and expect the patronage of anybody, should keep their establishments clean and inviting to the passerby or probable customer. Sweep out, dust off the goods and do not keep a gang of loafers hanging about the door; be polite and courteous to all; do not sit down and wait for business to come to you simply because you are a negro. Get up and go after the business, at the same time exercise some patience, and you will in time reap the fruits of your labor.—The Appreciator Union. The Central Bottling & Distributing Co.

We have heard of a story told concerning a Chinaman and a white man. The latter in passing the former rudely shoved him from the sidewalk into the mud and on his knees. The Chinaman picked himself up very calmly, shook off some of the mud, bowed very politely, and said in a mild, reproving voice, "You Christian, me heathen, allee samee, good bye."

ARE WE GROWING? all among the pessimists we are passing through, but, despite monstrously unjust, are, after all, necessary,筋筋吾筋.

It does not be stated in the beginning head along the lines on wealth, our knowledge and develop more within our tolerant people and time cities which must some of Greeman's rights. We cannot be classed among the pessimists who never see any good in the conditions that we are passing through, but we are inclined to believe that many things which seem monstrously unjust and hard, as their crushing weight falls upon us, are, after all, necessary to our development, and therefore blessings in disguise. There are some facts, however, connected with the race problem in the United States, which, we believe, are not the rightful source of so much complacent assurance as a hopeful but tolerant people are inclined to give them. We are making indisputable progress in the channels of material success as the years go by, but the actual result of that progress is not altogether what we are prone to consider it. At the beginning of the present year the colored people of the United States own more land and more personal property than they ever owned before. They can boast a higher educational standing, a material advance along the lines of intellectual and moral development and a greater adaptation to those industrial forces by which the strength and worth of a people are measured. We are growing along all lines which tend to make a people worthy of consideration and respect, and every sensible Negro can feel a high sense of satisfaction over the realization of this evidence of our advancement. But when we attempt to fix the comparative position which we should occupy as citizens among the country's associated elements, the expected ratio does not hold good. Up to a certain point our rights seem to be definitely recognized. That point is fixed more by a universal legal necessity than by any equitable or moral obligation. We are permitted to own property and generally to enjoy the fruits of it and of our labors upon it. We are permitted to share, to a certain extent, in the educational facilities of the country and to apply our education to our own further class development. Among ourselves we may instigate and carry out such moral or material movements or labors as may suggest themselves to our sense of self-improvement. But in the realm of civil and political liberty—that great source of associated governmental and business intercourse—we are worse off today than we were twenty-five years ago. In the South the pretended fear of Negro domination is made a pretext to deprive us of almost all political privilege. In the North a general and carefully nursed but no less efficient bias makes our participation in political affairs almost as fruitless, and all indications point to a still greater diminution of political benefits which other elements are able to safeguard by a change of political allegiance. Our business relations with other elements, like those political, are hampered and hedged in by unwavering rules of prejudice. In these two great branches of progress we are at a standstill, and neither individual or race can see over the wall of racial separation. It does not augur well for our future tranquility, though, as we stated in the beginning, it may be for the best. At any rate, we will go ahead along the lines on which we are not hampered. We will increase our wealth, our knowledge and our worth; we will rely more upon ourselves and develop more within ourselves. We are a patient, tolerant people and time is proving that we are not without inherent capabilities which must some day, somewhere, lead us to the full enjoyment of a freeman's rights. A Bit Hot, but Loyal. A girl went to India, and at the first New Year's away from home she wrote to her devout mother: "It is now very hot and I perspire a great deal, but you will be pleased to hear that I am still a member of the Church of England."

There is long except by a good light, no reading sense of strain or fatigue should be required children should, as a rule, do no evening, might lose of book knowledge will be the added store of health. WHY is it that so many children wear glasses nowadays? Is it because their eyes are not as good as were the eyes of the parents? Or is it because more is known about the eye than formerly, or that modern habits and occupations tax vision more severely than in the days of our grandfathers? The enormous and increasing average of spectacled children now to be seen in the streets and shops and in our schools and homes is at last—and none too soon for the gravity of the interest at stake—attracting the parents' attention, the attention which has to be arrested and educated before remedies or reforms can be made widely effective. City life, with its swift glimpses at short ranges, frequent and abrupt variation of range, its smoke and dust, subjects the eye to more continuous and more complex strain than do the long ranges of view and the serene, breeze-cleansed expanses of the country. In a pair of normal eyes the leading factors in the visual act are two in number. First, accommodation, by which is meant focusing; second, adjustment, that is, a joint muscular act of the two eyes, controlling the direction of the gaze in order to fix the sight upon a given point. For instance, in looking at this page each eye must focus upon the print in order to see distinctly, and both eyes must be properly adjusted in order to secure single vision. The main eye trouble from which children suffer is near-sightedness. The near-sighted child is generally at a disadvantage from the start of not being known to be so. The child, therefore, suffers from the jeers of schoolmates and chiding by his teachers for not reading sums readily or correctly from the blackboard. The others can see clearly and the failures of the former are attributed to obstinacy or untruthfulness. In childhood the eyes should be watched and the tendency to near-sightedness or other defects be promptly and skillfully attended to. We have long been accustomed to taking children for inspection to the dentist; it would be of much greater good were we in the habit of often inquiring into the status of their eyes. The entrance upon school life in the case of children showing either inherited or acquired near sight should be postponed and they should be taught as far as possible by the ear rather than by the eye and outdoor life and sports requiring distant vision should be encouraged. This course will insure results highly satisfactory. There should be neither study nor reading except by a good light, no reading in cars or other vehicles and the sense of strain or fatigue should be relieved by rest or change of work. Growing children should, as a rule, do no evening studying. What at the time they might lose of book knowledge will be more than made good to them in the added store of health.

If you find your pulse is a losing a beat or two a minute the fact doesn't worry you half as much as does the loss of a second or two by your watch. The watch must go at once for repair and regulation, but your pulse—well, maybe that will work itself around all right. The chances are that you don't very often know whether your pulse is beating or not. You care so little about it. Once a week, at least, you carefully compare your watch with a chronometer to know that it is right, but you don't ever compare your pulse with anything. Why? Because you don't care as much about your heart as you do about your watch. The watch cost you maybe $50; the heart cost you nothing. And thus you value them.

A great deal of uncertainty prevails among authorities as to the way the ancient Romans pronounced their words. It is possible that if Cicero himself were to come to earth and appear in college classrooms he would hardly understand our reading of the Roman classics. Reason For Using Feminine Pronoun By CARL C. KOPP Thus we say "The grizz this sentence masculine char power. and therefore we use y "The grizzly bear is the most savage seeline characteristics predominate, so before we use the masculine pronoun. Thus we say "The grizzly bear is the most savage of his race." In this sentence masculine characteristics predominate, showing strength and power, and therefore we use the masculine pronoun. Do many children wear glasses nowadays? Is their eyes are not as good as were the eyes of a child? Or is it because more is known about the early, or that modern habits and occupations in the days of our grandfathers? The enormity of spectacled children now to be seen in our schools and homes is at last—and none of the interest at stake—attracting the parents' which has to be arrested and educated before made widely effective. Dimples at short ranges, frequent and abrupt and dust, subjects the eye to more continuity than do the long ranges of view and the eyes of the country. As the leading factors in the visual act are accommodation, by which is meant focusing; a joint muscular act of the two eyes, conjugate in order to fix the sight upon a given seeing at this page each eye must focus upon distinctly, and both eyes must be properly single vision. From which children suffer is near-sightedness. Generally, at a disadvantage from the start of the child, therefore, suffers from the jeers by his teachers for not reading sums readily board. The others can see clearly and the attributed to obstinacy or untruthfulness. Should be watched and the tendency to near-epromptly and skillfully attended to. We so taking children for inspection to the dencreater good were we in the habit of often their eyes. All life in the case of children showing either sight should be postponed and they should pay the ear rather than by the eye and out-distant vision should be encouraged. This highly satisfactory. There should be neither a good light, no reading in cars or other pain or fatigue should be relieved by rest or as a rule, do no evening studying. What of book knowledge will be more than made more of health. When you find that your watch is losing a minute a day, you hasten to have it regulated. If your horse goes lame or your dog gets sick, you seek a remedy at once. If your friend has a fault you see it and want it corrected. But, somehow or other, you treat yourself so very differently. The one thing precious above all others to you that you are especially charged to keep in repair—yourself—you treat with greater indifference than you do your dog. ousand things that you know injure your dog permit your dog to do, and you don't care. It is a losing a beat or two a minute the fact such as does the loss of a second or two by once for repair and regulation, but your work itself around all right. You don't very often know whether your pulse so little about it. You carefully compare your watch with a chroight, but you don't ever compare your pulse use you don't care as much about your heart. The watch cost you maybe $50; the heart you value them. The old Roman pronunciation of Cicero was undoubtedly "Kikoro," phonetically spelt. In the same way Caesar was pronounced like "Kaisar," the title of the German emperor. Nowadays, however, we use soft c in the pronunciation of the above Latin words unless we are reading Latin. In the former case we Anglicize them. Both ways are considered correct, as the English and Roman pronunciations are used indiscriminately in reading Latin texts; the latter, however, predominates in such readings. to" as a legitimate pronunciation. enty prevails among authorities as to the way need their words. zero himself were to come to earth and appear and hardly understand our reading of the Ro- Replying to an inquiry as to why we say "she" so much when referring to a beat train or vehicle, I beg the right to explain that this comes under a rule to the effect that objects distinguished for their grace, beauty or gentleness are regarded as feminine. Thus a boat or train, would come under the head of grace and gentleness, and is therefore regarded as feminine. Objects distinguished for their size, power or sublimity are regarded as masculine. My bear is the most savage of his race." In meteoristics predominate, showing strength and the masculine pronoun. New Idea for Fish Course—Caper Sauce Improves Flavor of Roast Lamb or Boiled Mutton. Have you ever served for a fish course rounds cut from a slice across the entire loaf, fried in butter and served hot, covered with first a layer of browned mushrooms, then a layer of creamed lobster dotted with shredded green pepper? On the plate with this crouton is shredded cucumber with French dressing, or an individual mold of cucumber aspic. Do you know how good caper sauce is with roast lamb or boiled mutton? Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, rub in the same amount of flour, add a pint and a half of boiling lamb stock or the broth in which the mutton is boiled. Cook for ten minutes and add the yolks of two eggs mixed with a tablespoonful of cream. Strain and add a half cup of capers. Serve hot. Crab meat au gratin is a pleasant change from the inevitable deviled crab. Mix the crab flakes with a cream sauce, highly season with cayenne, a little nutmeg, chopped parsley and a teaspoonful of mustard rubbed into the butter and flour thickening. Fill individual baking dishes, sprinkle with grated parmesan and dots of butter and cook in the oven until a delicate brown. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Lemon juice and glycerin, equal parts, sipped slowly, is a relief for an irritated throat. When cheese is too soft to grate, press through a coarse wire strainer, using the back of a spoon. To make a candle fit a candlestick dip the end of the candle in hot water to soften the wax and then push it into the candlestick. A common brass cup hook, such as is used in china cabinets and on cup racks, can easily be screwed into the end of a broomhandle, making an inexpensive and handy broom hanger. For a shabby umbrella take half a cupful of strong tea and two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Open the umbrella and sponge well with the mixture. Tea revives the color and sugar stiffens When roasting heavy poultry that takes a long time to cook, in a paper bag, place it in a well buttered bag and then put this into another bag and fold as usual. This is done by M. Soyer, the introducer in England of paper bag cookery. To make a polish for patent leather make a mixture of one part linseed oil and two of cream. Mix it thoroughly and apply with a flannel, after removing every particle of dust from the shoes, and then rub the leather with a soft cloth. Hints for the Scamstress. A neat way to bone a collar is to sew a piece of tape on the wrong side of the collar from shoulder seam to edge. Make two slits in each strip near the middle, so that by bending you can slip the bit of whalebone in to stiffen the collar. When the waist is soiled the whalebone may be taken out, soaked if necessary to straighten it, and put back in the cleaned waist. Another excellent idea is to sew buttons that cannot well be washed onto a tape and put a row of button holes on each side of the waist hems, those on one side being cut across, the others up and down, so that the opening won't gape when the taped buttons are put in. Pea Soup Pick over and wash carefully one pint of whole peas. Put in an agate kettle with two quarts of cold water and half a teaspoonful of soda and water and stir to prevent scorching. When they shell empty that water, rinse and put back on fire with three quarts boiling water, one small onion, one teaspoonful of salt, quarter teaspoonful of pepper and about three-quarters of a pound of salt pork, taken from the bones with only a little fat. Put about half a cupful of rice in when the peas boll and just before serving add croutons. Add more water if necessary when it boils down. This will serve eight people. Potato and Liver Salad Add as much diced liver to potato salad. Baked or boiled liver or fried liver freed from fat may be used, and it should stand wet with French dressing an hour before mixing. Diced eggs fried hard, skinned cooked sausages, shredded smoked fish, dried beef, flakes of fish and other vegetables co...bine with potatoes in salad. For Shoelace Tips. The tips of shoelaces sometimes come off quite good laces. In this case they may be replaced with impromptu tags of sealing wax. Cut the tag, smear it over with sealing wax, then press it to a point while the wax is still warm. Washing Muddy Skirts. To make a muddy skirt wash easily and look white, take some sour milk, dilute with water and soak the skirt in it over night; then wash in the usual way. It will be found that the skirt washes more easily and looks whiter. Cleaning the Bean Pot. To clean the bean pot, fill with cold water, put in some kind of washing powder and cover tight; put on stove and let come to boil. This will make it very easy to wash. 1 Discontinuing the CLOTHING BUSINESS All Suits and Overcoats To Be Closed Out Regardless of Cost $15.00 to $25.00 Values - - - $9.95 $25.00 to $35.00 Values - - $17.95 THE Johnson-Noel Co 1005 SIXTEENTH ST.

Among the crew were George (Society) Dean and Carmile Nichols. Work is said to be plentiful in the Mormon capital. The present plight of Lewis Price, a pioneer real estate and prominent citizen of Denver, is, indeed, sad in the extreme. While in a demented state during the cold spell he wandered towards Brighton, where he was found wandering aimlessly around He was brought to the city and taken to the county hospital. Several of his fingers were frozen and had to be am- putated, as gangrene had set in. At one time Mr. Price was rated as the wealthiest colored men in the state | His present condition is indeed deplor able. One by one the roses fall and pre- judice against colored janitors seems to be on the increase, partly caused by the great influx of poor whites, who are clamoring for employment. The Ideal building, which, has always em- ployed colored janitors, jet ther go the first of this month7and put in white help. Our people who follow such work must look to their laurels and nurse their jobs. ‘There are but few large office buildings in the city that employ colored janitors.

Among the new bills introduced in ‘the House ‘Thursday was one by Sen: ator Cornforth for a constitutional amendment which would allow the Segregation of Negro and white chil: dren in the public schools, if found de- sirable by the school authorities. ‘The measure is not intended to enforce Segregation. It merely makes segre- gation optional with various local au thorities who may be confronted with the problem of whether separation would be best. Mrs. Patsy Smith, Negro, sat up in bed two weeks ago and yawned. Then she tried to tell her small grandchild to hustle off to school. But the words never came, Her mouth would not close. The grandchild waited four or five days to learn if its grandmother's mouth would close, and then told her teacher about it and the old Negro woman was taken to the County hos- pital. At the hospital the physicians are puzzled. Their science cannot close the woman's mouth, They are going to make an X-ray examination to de termine what keeps the mouth open.

AMMONS INAUGURAL ADDRESS DELIVERED TO NINETEENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY—POSITIVE IDEAS. TREATS MANY TOPICS TREATS MANY TOPICS Roads and Parks, Transportation Conditions, State Forestry System,' Public Defense, State Institutions, Board of Immigration Among the Many Matters Discussed. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Governor E. M. Ammons delivered his inaugural address to the Nineteenth General Assembly of Colorado on Tuesday, the 14th. In part, the governor said: To the Members of the Nineteenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado: Greeting: You are here as the representatives of the people of the state not to make partisan politics, but to enact laws for the benefit of all the citizens of our commonwealth. You must bear in mind that this is a state of great variety of industrial and business conditions; that there will be seeming conflict of interests to adjust. The field of legislation must be entered with wisdom and tolerance. I believe every member is inspired by the best motives, and I expect to see solendid results. Roads and Parks. Perhaps the most urgent necessity upon us at the present time for the advancement of farming, mining and all kinds of industrial pursuits is the construction of a systematic network of highways throughout the state. We have many sections or good road, but in very few places are they properly connected. In order to carry out a harmonious plan we must first build the main arteries reaching all sections of the state and make connections with every locality easy. To bring about such a result the work must be under the supervision of some efficient centralized body. Such a system would not only enable us to reach, settle up and develop every portion of our state, but it would also furnish the best possible means to market our farm and other products and to secure the tourist travel now looking for an opportunity to visit the Rocky Mountains. Even with our present disconnected system of highways, automobile tourists are visiting most portions of the state and advertising to the world our wonderful variety of scenic beauty. We are especially favored with natural attractions and all we need to secure the lion's share of this travel is the construction of good roads. In 1915 the transcontinental highways will be lined with automobiles, headed toward the Panama expositions on the Pacific coast, and unless we complete the main arteries of our system by that time we can hope for but little of this trade. If we have our highways in good condition, we may reasonably hope for most of it, because in no other place within the same amount of territory can so many scenic attractions will be found. Transportation and Marketing Conditions Inquiry has shown that we are annually importing into this state for our own use livestock and agricultural products to the amount of $40 per capita or about $23,000,000 a year. This is counting only those products we should produce ourselves. Nevertheless, this year we had an immense quantity of fruit and other farm crops for which there was no available market or no transportation facilities through which they could be sold at a profit. Thousands of tons of the best fruit ever produced in the state went to waste. Much of this was perishable and if moved at all had to be shipped within a very limited time. Had there been ample manufacturing facilities much of this crop could have been put in condition to hold over for use in years of scant production. State Forestry System. State Forestry System. The Eighteenth General Assembly authorized the appointment of a state forester under the Board of Agriculture and enacted legislation to put into effect most salutary laws in behalf of forestry in this state. The appropriation did not become available until a year later and then only a part of it. Enough was secured, however, to effect the organization of the service. The Agricultural College has established a course of study in forestry. Its purpose is to teach the growing of trees, to make experiments looking to the discovery of more valuable woods than are now grown in this state, and it has secured the permission of Congress to purchase 1,600 acres of experimental plots in the several altitudes at which timber will grow in this state. The General Assembly should make the appropriation of $2,000 necessary to secure this valuable land. I had hoped, inasmuch as we were educating the youth of the state to handle the forestry problem of both state and federal lands, that the government would give to us from its more than 14,000,000 acres of forest reserves in Colorado the small amount of 1,600 acres. We failed, however, to secure the consent of the forest service and Congress required us to pay for it. Irrigation The development of our irrigation system is the most important factor in our agricultural growth. Experience has taught us that by storing and holding within the state a large portion of the natural water supply that comes to us in the way of snow and rainfall, we will, during the course of time, add almost indefinitely to the amount of land we may irrigate. Public Defense To extend our irrigated territory as we should, the state must defend its title to the streams which rise within it. By congressional enactment we were given these waters nearly a half century ago and our title to them was confirmed by our constitution at the time of our admission to statehood in 1876. Notwithstanding this fact, several suits have been brought by neighboring states to deprive us of the use of these waters, and more suits are threatened. Unhappily, several bureaus of the federal government, which gave us these streams, are intervening against us. Every stream rising within the state is involved in this controversy. The most pressing is the suit brought directly in the Supreme Court of the United States by the state of Wyoming. Inasmuch as the same principles are very largely included in all of these cases, it is important that we win the first. Attorneys who have examined into the matter believe there is no doubt of our success in the trial if we properly prepare for it. State Institutions. The demand upon a new state for educational, penal and charitable institutions is always great. This is especially true of our educational institutions in Colorado. Our natural resources are of great variety, and their development involves problems as numerous as those to be met by the entire country. We have half the minerals known to the world, and all the mining problems of this continent. To develop our immense area of mineral land, it is necessary to give the widest range of education to the young men going into this business. Our agricultural resources are equally varied, and all of them are different from those existing in the East. Whether the settler comes to the dry farming districts, under irrigating canals, into the mountains or the fruit-growing valleys, he must learn a new way to farm. Board of Immigration. Not 10 per cent of the area of this state is developed to any considerable extent, and not 5 per cent as it should be. Our mineral lands, except in small areas, have scarcely been prospected. Less than 4 per cent of our water power is developed. We have sufficient known coal, to say nothing of undiscovered fields, to supply the entire world, at the present rate of consumption, for more than three hun- M. Governor E. M. Ammona. dred years. We are bringing into this state annually two million dollars of clay products when we have vast quantities of a better quality of the same clays at home. A similar condition exists as to many of our other resources. Our opportunities for cheap power are practically unlimited. We are in the center of the Rocky Mountain region, and can offer industrial possibilities unequaled by any other state in the Union. To occupy our lands and utilize these advantages we must have more people and more capital. To secure these we must collect accurate statistics and facts concerning our production and opportunities and distribute them among the people of the East who are looking for homes in the West. Reapportionment I cannot urge too strongly the necessity of a fair apportionment of legislative and congressional districts. Since the last general enactments on this subject the population of the state has so shifted as to make the present division ridiculously unjust. Attempts, too often made, to gerrymander for partisan advantage are likely to have exactly the opposite result from that intended. Elections. The people of Colorado are to be congratulated on the fact that our recent election was freer from corrupt practices than any held in many years. This does not mean that the conditions were as good as they should be, but that we have made material progress. Through the adoption by the people of the pure Australian ballot, I expect to see still greater improvement. We cannot afford to tolerate any corrupt influences in our elections. Nothing will do us so much good abroad, where we must look for new capital with which to develop our resources, as a reputation for honest elections and stable, efficient and economical government. As was to be expected, experience has pointed out some defects in the direct primary law. One of the main objects to be attained was the elimination of conventions controlled by political trades. The assemblies held during the past year have proven conclusively that they too will be controlled by the same influences, and to an exaggerated degree, because of the lack of responsibility of assembly action. I therefore recommend that the assembly feature of the direct primary law be repealed, if it cannot be amended to effectively carry out its original purpose. There has grown up the custom of giving executive officers two terms of office. The apparent reason for this is that people believe one term of two years is not sufficiently long to carry out any definite policy. There is no doubt that many evils in administration arise through candidacy for reelection. I am thoroughly convinced that only one term should be allowed to elective executive officers, and that if an additional period of service be deemed advisable, the term of service be extended to four years and reelection made impossible. By adopting this arrangement and fixing the time of the state election between the presidential elections, the ballot would be shortened, state politics to a considerable extent divorced from national politics, and voters' attention be concentrated on the direct issues involved. Mining. There should be legislation to encourage mining. Prospectors should be given every inducement to re-enter the field, cheap water made available, and every possible means employed to secure a practicable scheme for the reduction of low-grade ores. There should be effective legislation enacted for the preservation of the lives and health of the workers in the coal mines, and the best conservation of the coal. The expense of administration could very properly be provided for by a small tax on the coal output. Banking Code. A comprehensive banking code, containing the best known guaranty for the protection of depositors, is imperatively demanded. Protection For Our Securities Protection For Our Securities. Colorado has suffered much in the past because of securities sold abroad and afterwards found to be without sufficient value. This state has made its growth largely through borrowed capital, and we must look to the same source for many years to come for means with which to develop our resources. If we are to secure this assistance, we must see to it that paper offered for sale has substantial backing; that enterprises projected are meritorious, and that securities of all kinds offered to the public represent such value as will command the confidence of the investing world. Public Utilities. Two plans are suggested for the control of public utilities. The railroad commission proposes amendments to the law under which it is operating, to make the act more effective. It is urged that some important advance has been made on account of recent court decisions, and that the surest way to save this advantage is to retain the resent law and make it stronger by amendment. The commission, however, suggests no plan for including other public utilities. On the other hand, bills have been prepared, which, I understand, include the very provisions of the railway law already adjudicated and which also comprehend the entire field of public utilities. It seems to me useless to have two commissions. The time is ripe to abolish the pass and franking evil. The pass system has been defended by some on the ground that it enabled new localities to secure settlers. Certain it is that those neighborhoods that have enjoyed free transportation have not settled faster than those to which it was refused. The need is for a more equitable adjustment under which the traveling public would be placed on an equality, the difference in cost to be used in lowering rates for all or devoted to greater efficiency. To avoid complications, the federal law might be followed. Game and Fish Department Perhaps one of the most difficult problems is to determine a more efficient method of administration of the game and fish department. If our streams can be kept well stocked with trout they will prove a great asset in securing summer visitors. To accomplish this result numerous hatcheries must be maintained and a better system enforced to prevent the young trout from destruction. Those placed in charge of hatcheries should be skilled in fish culture, and deputy wardens should be active, industrious men acquainted with the country and with a thorough understanding of game conditions. Capitol Building. For some time the State Capitol building has been overcrowded. I believe the new Museum building should be arranged so that it will accommodate the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals and the Library. By this arrangement, and by the proper adjustment of the offices of some of the boards and bureaus, this crowded condition of the Capitol could be relieved and ample room provided for the conduct of the state's business for many years to come. In this connection it might be well to consider the advisability, in view of the near completion of the new Museum building, of abolishing the Capitol Board and placing its duties in the hands of a board of elective state officials. Conservation. I believe in conservation in the meaning of the prevention of waste and monopoly. I am unalterably opposed to it in its definition of preserving things in their natural state undeveloped for future generations. I have no fear of famine from exhaustion of resources. Whenever any resource used by the people has disappeared, human necessity and ingenuity have always found something better to take its place. I am also opposed to putting our lands and resources on a tenancy basis to pay taxes into the federal treasury. We will never be able to settle our lands and improve them properly unless the people can own them. We can never expect to discover and develop our mines if the hope of ownership is not held out to the prospector and miner. If we are to discover uses for our great variety of new resources, we must offer ample inducement for experimentation and investment. It is safe to predict that little improvement will ever be made on a tenancy basis. The development of every one of our natural resources, land included, has been attended by unusual problems, difficulties and expense. Not one of them was naturally ready for use and all the value that has been added to them has been measured by study, experiment, labor and expense upon which in the average but fair return has been realized. Before the white man came with his courage and industry, to search and dig the precious metals from the mountains, to construct ditches and turn the desert into fertile fields, to replace the wolf and the bear with useful domestic animals, to build cities and towns and country homes, to blast highways through the mountain canons, to harness our streams and convert their power into useful channels, to erect churches and school houses, to establish great educational and charitable institutions, and to rear a splendid social fabric here, there was not a dollar of value in a single natural resource within the boundaries of this state. The gold had remained undiscovered in the hills, and useless for untold centuries, the inhabitants had no use for coal, the forests were burned to make way for berry patches and hunting grounds. The streams ran use- lessly and undisturbed to the sea, and all were worthless. It required the venturesome pioneer, with his intrepid zeal, to lay the foundation of a great state. His laws and customs were built on experience and justice. Upon the foundation so well laid by him, our hardship and genius and industry have measured every dollar's worth of value in our natural resources by a dollar's worth of human toil. We have a right to these resources with which to build our state. A sensible solution of the public domain question is to turn the public lands and resources over to the states in which they lie. The citizens of these states have a better understanding of their needs than outside people possibly could have. They have a greater interest than anyone else in a proper administration of these lands. The excuse for folstering the reservation policy upon the West is the deigned purpose of preventing monopoly. The real reason is to place our lands and resources upon a revenue basis to the federal treasury. If public ownership of lands and resources is the only means of preventing monopoly, what is to become of that portion of our great country lying east of the Mississippi river, and containing vastly more than half and therefore the dominating portion of our entire population, and if those people cannot control the property they own there, how are they to control it here? The General Assembly should memorialize President Wilson and Congress, setting forth in detail suggestions of changes in administration of the public domain to comply with the best requirements for settlement, development and local taxation. Employés' Compensation Commissions The Employés' Compensation Commission appointed by the Eighteenth General Assembly, I am told, has not completed its investigations, and should be continued either to report at the next session of the General Assembly or to initiate a law covering the subject. Fairs and Expositions. Fairs and Expositions. If we are to make a creditable showing at the Panama Exposition in 1915 the present General Assembly must provide for it. I am advised that all the western states are making unusual efforts to advertise their products and opportunities at this great fair. The people of Colorado will not want to be left behind. Our financial condition will prevent our doing as much as we would like to do, and the situation is complicated from the fact that the exposition will in reality be divided into two parts—one portion located at San Francisco and the other at San Diego. In addition to this, Colorado intends to provide an attractive pageant to induce visitors to the big shows on the coast to stop in this state, view our mountain scenery, enjoy our unequaled climate, and investigate our splendid opportunities. Whatever funds the state can spare for this great exposition should be placed in the hands of a most competent board, that they may be used to the best possible advantage. To promote this work the several counties of the state might be authorized to assist the general exhibits by financial aid. Grand Jury. When the present law relating to criminal prosecutions was passed it was not intended that district attorneys should be given so much power. I am of the opinion that it should be mandatory upon the District Courts to call a grand jury at least once each year in every county, and that district attorneys should not be permitted to dismiss prosecutions without the consent of the courts. Fee Offices. I have always been opposed to public offices being supported by fees. I realize there are many offices, under present conditions at least, that can have no support otherwise, but I see no reason why such officials should not be required to collect fees without favor, turn them promptly into the public treasury and draw such salaries as may be allowed by law in the same manner in which salaries are usually paid. Sixty-day Session. I have never known a session of the General Assembly at which the world could not have been completed within sixty days, and I see no reason why the present assembly cannot finish its business within that time. So long as the Legislature is in session changes in law constantly occur and business conditions are more or less disturbed. I therefore hope this assembly will hasten its work to the utmost. I can conceive of nothing that would bring more credit to the members than the accomplishment of needed legislation and an adjournment within sixty days. In this connection within sixty days. Economy. With $126,000 of interest on the state bonds in settlement of old debts, with $115,000 to pay for advertising the initiated and referred bills at the last election, with a demand for $100,000 for the big expositions of 1915, with added expense to keep pace with the growth of our educational and other institutions, and with the necessity of keeping taxes within reasonable bounds, there is every obligation to hold appropriations and expenditures of all departments of the state at the lowest possible point consistent with efficiency. The estimated state revenues for the present period are no greater than those of the last. Before we can hope to have permanent benefit there must be either a reversal of court decisions relating to revenue, or constitutional amendment. Conclusion. The present General Assembly can exert tremendous influence for the good of Colorado. If it shall provide a policy for economical and business-like administration; if it shall take action to protect our mining, irrigation and other securities; if it shall insure ample control of our natural resources in the interests of the people; if it shall enact laws that will place us in the fore-front in true governmental progress; if it shall guarantee safety to capital and protect the rights of labor it will bring confidence at home, command respect abroad and place the state upon the road to certain prosperity. I hope to work in harmony with every member in the important business just begun and confidently expect decisive results for the betterment of our splendid state.

Importance of That Arm of Government's Organization Is Shown in Recent Reports Received at Treasury Department. Washington.—Six reports from the commanding officers of vessels of the revenue cutter service regarding aid rendered vessels in distress were received at the division of the service, Treasury Department, in the past few weeks. Capt. A. L. Gamble, commanding the new cutter Miami, which has been kept busy since her arrival on the Key West station giving aid to a big coasting schooner and a steamship, in trouble in the vicinity of Key West. The schooner Lydia McLellan Baxter, one of the big coal carriers from the Chesapeake to Florida points, was caught in the channels leading to Key West in such a position that she could not go ahead or turn around to go back and was forced to anchor to keep from going ashore. Word of the vessel's predicament was sent by the consignee of the vessel at Key West to Capt. Gamble. The Miami went to the aid of the schooner and assisted her to her dock at Key West. The liner Colorado, bound from New York to Galveston, via Key West, got ashore in that harbor and was floated by the Miami, uninjured and able to resume her voyage under her own steam. From far-away Honolulu comes a report from Capt. C. S. Cochran, commanding the cutter Thetis, which in the past summer did duty as a floating court in Alaskan waters, regarding the floating of the American schooner Sophie Christianson of San Francisco, which had gone ashore while trying to work out of the harbor at Honolulu under sail. The vessel was in shoal water and the cutter could not get to her, but the men of J. D. D. Frank MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury. the Thetis, in the ship's launch and with the assistance of other launches, soon had the schooner in deep water. The cutter Acushnet was called to the aid of the steamship Penobscot ashore on the eighteen-foot lump. Pollock Ripp shoals, on the Massachusetts coast. When she reached the vessel she found the United States army dredge Navasink alongside the stranded vessel. With the powerful dredge dong the pulling and the Acushnet holding her bow in the position to make her work most effective, the floating of the steamship was accomplished, and it was able to continue its voyage without further aid. It is not always commercial ships that want the aid of the cutters to get them out of trouble, for once in a while they are called upon to aid government-owned vessels. A report from Capt. De Otte, commanding the cutter Onondaga on the Norfolk station, tells of being called upon to aid the lighthouse service steamer Holly, which had gone ashore on the Portsmouth flats, Elizabeth river, in a heavy fog. The lighthouse service steamer Orchid was also on hand to pull on the ship, but after she broke four hawkers in the effort she gave up the task and the cutter worked the Holly into deep water. The master of the cutter, according to Capt. De Otte's report, expressed his appreciation of the service rendered. Work for Money but Stay in School They do not allow working to Interfere with going to school in Hammond, Ind. Special arrangements are made whereby boys and girls may work half a day in certain commercial establishments and attend school the balance of the day. Hammond is a manufacturing community, where the temptation to boys and girls is strong to leave school and earn a living. Superintendent McDaniel's plan makes is possible for boys and girls to earn money, remain in school, and also make themselves more efficient industrially. The plan at Hammond is based on a full realization of modern social and industrial conditions. Superintendent McDaniel proceeds on the theory that, while there are certain general principles underlying all education, each community has its own special problems that are too often disregarded in the making of the schools. Besides the co-operative school and shop arrangement, Hammond maintains a night school with an attendance of 700, where boys and girls may not only make up elementary deficiencies, but also receive practical training in specific phases of commerce and industry. Vocational guidance forms another feature of the Hammond plan. The schools furnish information about the various industries in the community, the salaries paid in different lines of work, the opportunities for advancement, hours of labor, permanency of employment, and all the details that are of value in determining a choice of employment. As early as the sixth grade the teacher tests the child's interest and ability in various forms of elementary industrial work, so that he may come to have some idea of future vocation. The school authorities also maintain an employment bureau, where present and former pupils are registered and their qualifications carefully investigated. Foreigners Are Interested In American Education Canadian educators are impressed with the facilities for educational information in the United States. Dr David Soloan, principal of the Nova Scotia Normal school, considers the federal bureau of education at Washington one of the best and readiest sources of information about the schools of Canada. Dr. Soloan is not the first educator who has paid tribute to the wisdom of congress in providing a central bureau for the diffusion of educational information, but as an expert on education his opinion deserves to be quoted. After speaking of the history of education in the United States as "illustrious" and describing the part the government, through its bureau of education, has played, he says: "It has saved uncalculated millions to educational effort merely through its punctual record of each and every educational enterprise, every attempted reform, every individual initiative. It has prevented duplication of experiment, reported educational progress in foreign countries, sifted statistics, and from conflicting reports gathered the facts the leaders of education in America needed to be certified of." Education is international. No matter how local and national certain of its problems may be, the fundamentals of education are identical in all civilized countries; and it is surely worth knowing that in this international exchange of ideas the United States bears no small part. Rich Rhode Islander Elected to Congress There comes to the new house of representatives Peter Goelet Gerry, one of the richest young men in the country. He is the son of the late Peter Gerry of New York, but himself lives in the Second Rhode Island district. He was married two or three years ago to Miss Mathilde Townsend, of this city, one of the very wealthy young debutantes of a very few years ago. The Townsend home is one of the most spacious and magnificent in Washington, and the young couple will make their home with Mrs. Gerry's mother, so some splendid entertaining is promised for the new Democratic administrator. Mr. Gerry has filed his statement of campaign expenses, and they were within $15 of being $5,000. He also gave $800 to the Republican state committee of Rhode Island. It is said that Mrs. Gerry herself from her own private fortune gave a goodly sum. Opinion of High Court Hits Everyday Citizen No matter how much loss a person suffers because a letter carrier delays delivery of mail, a policeman fails to walk his beat, a fireman neglects an alarm or a water company omits to install fire plugs, the sufferer cannot recover damages. Such is the statement of Justice Lamar of the Supreme court in an official opinion filed the other day among the records of the court. This utterance was made in arriving at the conclusion that an individual inhabitant of a city cannot sue a water company for failure to install plugs and mains it had contracted with a city to install. The case arose in Spartansburg, S. C. The opinion is contrary to the law in Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida, but upholds decisions in numerous other states. Increase in Canal Zone Stamp Sale The canal zone government has turned into the United States treasury a sum of $87,550.21 revenue received from the sale of stamps and post cards during the fiscal year ending June 1, 1912. This is an increase of $4,800 over last year. During the past year 145,633 registered letters were handled by the postoffice there. Forty-seven per cent. of the registered mail was sent under official stamp; 43,823 registered letters were sent to foreign countries. There were 227,680 money orders issued during the year, representing a value of $4,915,077.29. On February 1 last 16 postal savings banks were established on the canal zone, carrying total deposits of $356,947. There were 2,402 depositors. Sure Proof.

Sex of English "Longshoreman" Is Disclosed by Accident. "Rather a Quiet Lad," Say Fellow-Workers of "James Palmer," Toiling With Them as Lighter-man—Husband Tells Story. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Eng.—"Rather a quiet lad." This was the description given the other day by the employers of "James Palmer," the victim of an accident that resulted in the astounding discovery that "he" is a woman. She underwent an operation at Newcastle infirmary and afterwards was visited by her husband, a sailor, from whom she had been separated. For six months the woman, whose name is Margaret Neilsen, has worked on the Tyneside as a man that she might support herself and two children. During summer it is known she slept on a wherry or in the cabins of other boats—working during the days as a lighterman. It was while she was helping to load a wherry with steel plates that one of the plates fell on her, causing severe injuries. Then she had to reveal her secret and told the doctor that her husband was a German sailor, whom she had left. Both the employers and fellowworkers of "James" express the greatest surprise at the startling disclosure of her sex. They said "James" kept much to "himself." Where the woman lived is still unknown, as she declines to give any further account of herself and the police have been unable to find the children she mentioned. After identifying his wife, Neilsen gave some astonishing details of her life. He said he had not seen her since February last. "This," he remarked, "is not the first time she has figured as a boy. For some time, years ago, she was 'liftboy' at one of the big houses in the West End of London." Neilson stated that he met his wife while he was a steward on a Tyneside boat running between London and Newcastle, and they married nine years ago. He became a chef and she linen maid at a temperance hotel, but owing to financial difficulties they decided to return to Newcastle. Then they quarreled and his wife summoned him for persistent cruelty. The charge was dismissed, but on a later occasion she obtained an order, and since then, he said, his wife had had him arrested for maintenance arrears. He added that he was a German subject, and his wife became German on her marriage. He had sued in the German high court for restitution of conjugal rights and obtained an order for his wife to pay costs, which she had not done, nor had she obeyed the order. In February last he met her casually, and, as she refused to return, he instituted divorce proceedings. These were to have come up on the day before the accident. The children were being looked after by his wife's people. ROBBERS PASS BY DOGS They Stop Chase and Meant Well, but Canines Attack Wrong Persons in Excitement. Chicago.—Two dogs frustrated the capture the other night of three robbers, who added the latest crime to the long list of recent months, and probably prevented the obtaining of information which might have led to the apprehension of the band, which is thought to be organized for depredations in Chicago. The dogs, instead of capturing the thieves, as brave canines in the "movies" are shown to do, allowed the robbers to pass them unmolested and turned their attack on the pursuers. The robbery occurred in a jewelry store in West Twenty-sixth street, when a display window was broken and gold rings valued at $500 taken. Two passengers on a Twenty-sixth street car leaped to the pavement and gave chase to the robbers, only to be stopped within a few feet by the onslaught of the dogs. The canines are owned by Peter Dreyje. The pursuers were forced to turn back and were chased for more than a block before Dreyje called his dogs off. CART ONLY HOTEL FROM TOWN County Attorney Asks Santa Fe Residents to Shelter Jurors—Frosty Sleeping Outside. Santa Fe, Kan.—Because of a murder trial that opened here the other day in the district court and the fact that the only hotel in Santa Fe was carted away on trucks to Sublette, a new town, last month, many villagers prepared to sleep in the postoffice and livery stable. The following notice was posted in the public square: "People who have spare beds are requested to report to the county attorney in order that the jurors, attorneys and others interested in the Hurtley trial, may be taken care of. We have no hotel now, and it is a little frosty sleeping on the buffalo grass." The trial was that of B. F. Hartley, a wealthy cattleman, charged with killing E. O. Balla, another cattle dealer. IN THE WILDERNESS Woman Nine Miles From Neighbors for Years. Pioneer, as of Old, Goes to Town and Proves Title to Her Land After Six Years in the Forests Enterprise, Ore.—Pioneer days were brought to mind in Enterprise the other day when Mrs. Belle Ben made final proof on her Snake river homestead. Her land is on Cash creek, a tributary of the canyon of the great river. She has lived on it for six years, in which time she has been away only three times—twice to Enterprise and once to Lewiston. Mrs. Ben came to Enterprise on horseback. With her came Jean P. Baldwin, who also made proof on his homestead on Garden creek, and John Gebert and T. S. Blanc, witnesses. Proof was made before United States Commissioner Carl Roe. "My nearest woman neighbor," said Mrs. Ben, "is Mrs. Roy Favor. Mr. and Mrs. Favor live nine miles away on Birch creek. Mrs. Ben lives alone on her canyon farm. She is and for years has been woman-of-all work, attending to every detail of homesteading. "I build my own fences and split my own wood," she said. "I plant my garden and gather the crop in the fall. I haven't much stock—only a few 'cayuses.' I raise hay for them and cut it myself." She was asked if she had a mowing machine. "No," she answered. "I cut the hay with a scythe. I used to keep a cow, but she was lots of trouble, and now I haven't any. I haven't any hogs, either. I had some not long ago, and wanted to butcher them. So I called on a man living in the district. He came, but he hadn't the nerve to kill them, and I had to shoot them. Oh! I had raised them just like pets, too. After that I haven't had any hogs. I don't like to kill them. "A little while ago the bobcats got to bothering ray chickens, and I shot two of them. There's lots of grouse down in that country, too." Mrs. Ben, whose home is hidden away in the canyon far from railroad lines, gets her mail through the Asotin postoffice. It is taken up Snake river on the launch Prospector, and is put off at Cash Creek bar. River navigation is uncertain and the homesteader occasionally goes down to the river and waits all day in vain for the little boat. In the bottom land along Cash creek, Mrs. Ben has 70 acres of "Durable land. No irrigation is needed, as the ground is kept moist from underground springs on the hill. There is vagon road to these springs, about seven miles from the homestead. Mrs. Ben was asked if she was going back to the isolated claim. She said "Sure I am, I wish I was there now. That's my home. There's no snow there, and I can raise just anything on my place. I'm going back just as soon as I can." FIGHT WAY TO SLAVE GIRLS Immigrant Inspectors Find Four In Old Gambling House at San Francisco, Cal. San Francisco, Cal.—After threading a labyrinth of dark passageways, battering down two heavy doors, and finding themselves blocked by an impassable steel barrier, Capt. Frank Ainsworth and a squad of United States immigration inspectors found four Chinese slave girls immured in an improvised prison, formerly used for a gambling house. The raiders were brought to a standstill by a steel door, but found a passageway entering through two secret panels, which led them to the room where the girls were concealed. Loy Yee, a Chinese of local prominence, was arrested on a charge of having harbored the women. Loy Yee is a leader of the Lui Don ting, which recently had trouble with the Hop Sings, and the police believe the girls were being concealed not only from the inspectors, but from the watchmen of the rival tong. To prevent a threatened tong outbreak the Chinese district is being policed with unusual vigilance. It was learned that since the recent raids the price of slave girls has risen, and that the price as high as $4,000 apiece is being offered for women. "SEA LEOPARD" HALTS SHIP Caught on Bow, Big Fish Checki Speed of Liner—Said to Have Been Forty Feet Long. London.—A strange occurrence happened to the Elder Dempster liner Tarquah recently. At a nine and three-quarters hours' run from Secondee, on the Gold Coast, a big fish, which the sailors described as a "sea leopard," got caught on the bows of the ship right in the middle, the head being on one side and the tail on the other. The bows of the vessel cut through the flesh to the bone, holding the creature there so firmly that it could not get free. The speed of the Tarquah was checked, and it had to go astern before the fish was released. The fish then came to the surface and sank. The passengers on the boat say that it was forty feet in length and twenty feet in width. MAKE PLEA FOR DUTY ON SUGAR "THROWING BEET INDUSTRY AS BONE TO HUNGRY DOGS!" GARY TELLS HOUSE. NEED TARIFF ON WINE CALIFORNIA GROWERS DECLARE BUSINESS IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION ON COAST. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—"Throwing beet sugar like a bone to hungry dogs!" is what Francis K. Cery, vice president of the National Sugar Company of Colorado, called the Democratic policy of sugar tariff reduction before the ways and means committee of the House. Several Colorado mon argued against the proposed reduction on the ground that it would ruin one of the great industries of the state. Among those before the committee were: W. J. Powell from the Chamber of Commerce at Sterling, D. C. Donovan of Longmont, Charles Boettcher of Denver, Aaron Gove of Denver, Earl of Loveland, McCue of Fort Collins, Couch of Fort Morgan and Tew of Greeley. Mineral water importers and others descended in force upon the committee, against tariff reduction. The California wine trade was pictured as in a deplorable condition when the committee took up Schedule H, wines, spirits and other beverages. Former Commissioner of Internal Revenue John W. Yerkes contended that whiskey was a necessity, but that imported wines were a luxury and therefore should bear the burden of tariff taxation. ASKS NEW TAX SYSTEM. New Mexico's Governor Wants Property Assessed on Cash Value. Santa Fe, N. M.—A new system of taxation for the state whereby all property will be assessed at its "cash value" and a law to enforce such assessments alike against the large corporations and the small property owners, is the most important recommendation in Governor McDonald's message to the Legislature. "Thus will it be possible," says the governor, "to increase the assessed valuation of the property in the state from $73,000,000, the present figure, to $500,000,000, and thereby reduce the state tax levy from 13 mills to 2 mills." Immediate ratification of the income tax amendment to the United States constitution is also urged, together with an inheritance tax law. The subjects of gambling and prizefighting, the governor treats collectively, declaring that if the legislators will pass laws prohibiting prizefighting and gambling they will give the new state the best advertising it can possibly have. MONEY TRUST NATIONAL PERIL So Declares George W. Perkins Before Money Trust Committee. Washington. — In a hypothetical question put to George W. Perkins, Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the money trust committee, outlined from the records of the committee a "concentration of money and credit," and asked whether Mr. Perkins considered it "a menace and peril to the prosperity of the country." The question generally was accepted as Mr. Untermeyer's conception of the money trust, of which the committee is in search. Mr. Perkins admitted that concentration, if carried far enough, would become a national peril. ALLIES STAND TOGETHER. Turkish Vizier Makes Peace Plea; Balkans Have Not Weakened. London.—The Balkan nations wish the world to know that they have not weakened in their determination to resume hostilities unless Turkey accepts their terms quickly, but in deference to the powers they may withhold the execution of their resolve a few days longer. A sequel to this stand, which gives some hope for ultimate peace, is the report from Constantinople that Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha says that the conclusion of peace is an absolute necessity for the Turkish Empire. Unless peace is concluded, he declares, the future of the nation will be gravely endangered. Nixon Would Be Lieutenant Governor. Denver.—John C. Nixon, Progressive, has taken the oath of office as lieutenant governor of the state of Colorado, to succeed S. R. Fitzgarrald. Warren Summoned Back to Wyoming. Cheyenne.—Senator Warren was summoned by telegraph from Washington by his friends and supporters in both houses of the Legislature, where his re-election is contested by an alignment of Democratic and Progressive forces. Pueblo Banker Dies at Age of 62. Pueblo, Colo.—Robert Lytle, cashier of the First National bank of Pueblo, died at his home in this city. He was sixty-two years old. --- A Big Gift to the Public THE DENVER REPUBLICAN DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH. A reduction of more than 20 per cent on former rates.

A bijou pet dog was seen in the Champs Elysees with a lady. It was wearing indiarubber boots laced high up the leg, ear protectors, goggles to shield his eyes from cold or mud, and a raglan overcoat lined with thick flannel and provided with a pocket from which projected a tiny handkerchief with a monogram. Cash or Credit Three Fascinating Frocks Designed for the Really Smart Dresser - 1. The new tunic in blue Liberty satin with panels of brocade, skirt edged with black fox. 2. A harmony in black velvet and white tulle, edged here and there with white fox. 3. A graceful frock in biscuit cloth with collar, sleeve revers and sash in ermine. A small red tie supplies the inevitable bright touch. Double Convenience for the Woman Who Is Required to Do Considerable Traveling. One of the most convenient little accessories to the toilet for the woman who travels about a great deal is a small jewel case and pincushion combined. It is made of a piece of fancy ribbon or plain satin twelve inches long and six inches wide. The material is sewed together lengthwise, then divided into three parts, four inches in each, either by stitching it on the machine or with very close cross-stitch or featherstitching. Do this stitching four inches from one side first, then fill the center with wool to form the cushion in which to stick the pins, then stitch it across four inches from the other end. There you have a solid center with hollow end, and these ends are turned in to form a hem one inch wide. In these a small casing is run, with narrow ribbon placed through that so as to pull it up like a little bag on each end. This makes a flat cushion in the center, having baglike ends in which the jewelry is kept, brooches, bracelets, rings, chains and the watch, when it is not in use. The cushion can be decorated with some pretty design done in cross-stitch or an embroidered initial or a small spray of flowers. Such a case can be made of any material you may choose. Brocaded satin is always pretty; plain satin covered with lace or coarse linen that can be laundered will be found a satisfactory substitute for other more expensive fabrics. One side of the cushion may be used for jewels and the other for sewing materials—cotton, scissors, needles, etc.—or for a soft ball of darning cotton, that is always handy to have when traveling. This combination cushion and case will make a splendid gift for the young girl who is attending boarding school or for one away from home. FEATHER-TRIMMED CHAPEAU. This hat is composed of violet velvet, the brim being deeper over the back of the neck, and is trimmed with a plume of ostrich feathers drooping over the left side. Silk Lace Scarfs Silk Spanish lace scarfs, dyed to match the gown, are in favor or evening use. Some of the handsomest scarfs at present are made of a fine crepe de chine with insets of embroidered voile in the border design. One very lovely one shown by a Chestnut street importer is of a beautiful rose color, handsomely embroidered, with exquisite roses also embroidered on the large voile insets. In all the decoration the finest graduations of rose color melting into white were used. Much Choice Is Possible, and a Woman May Use Any Particular Perfume Which She May Prefer. The commonest form of the bath as a beautifier is the bran bath. This particular bath has the advantage of being inexpensive and efficient at the same time. The bran should be sewn into a neat little square sack of cheesecloth covering, and dropped into the bath when the water is run in. The water must not be too hot, or the bran will be cooked and thus rendered useless, but if warm water is poured on it a creamy mass is formed, which will render the skin delightfully soft. For those who wish to be a little more elaborate there are sold at chemists and stores little sacks of bran mixed with various perfumed herbs, according to taste, such as violets, orris root and sunflower seed. The milk bath is not unusual, and is is claimed that it has no rival in beautifying the skin. One well known beauty in Paris is understood to use milk for her bath always, and the skin of her throat and shoulders is as creamy a white as the liquid she is supposed to bathe them with. Of course, one would not actually get right into a milk bath as one does with water. The milk is applied on wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to prevent any stickiness, it is rubbed gently with eau de cologne. French women are also very partial to the use of alcohol in the bath. It is perfumed in some way with such scents as lavender or violet, and those who indulge in these baths or the bran ones use soap only once or twice a week. Sea bathing is probably the most bracing and the best form for the robust, but in a climate such as ours it cannot be recommended except in the hot months, unless the bather is very strong. Those who are unfortunate enough to possess very irritable skins will do well to eschew sea baths altogether. For ordinary bathing purposes most people use ammonia or borax, which not only softens the water, but is invaluable for cleaning the skin. It is necessary, however, to exercise caution in the use of these two articles, for an overdose in the bath, instead of making the skin soft and supple, will harden it and make it much too dry. Dark Furs Becoming. It seems odd that so few should realize that dark furs are much more becoming than light, that is, to the average woman. Sable, mink, black fox, make her complexion look at its very best, whereas ermine, white fox, miniver and squirrel have exactly the contrary effect. The newest way of wearing the stole is to put the middle of it on in front, pass the ends over the shoulders, crossing them at the back and bringing them forward under the arms. Even fur capes with their rounded or pointed back are worn in this fashion, certainly very warm and comfortable, though slightly unorthodox. Tray Tables. The Tripoli tray table is a thing of parts—three in number. There is a large top tray, a small tray (which fits on supports a third way up the legs of the stand) and the folding stand. When not in use this four-legged stand may be folded and stowed away in a small space. The trays are made of bamboo, and are strong yet light in weight, and can be easily washed. This table would be very ornamental for a tea or refreshment table in a bachelor mald's den. PHONE MAIN 61.23—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
