FOREIGN. The first parliament of the world's youngest republic was inaugurated at Peking amid general rejoicings not only in the Chinese capital, but throughout the country. King Victor Emanuel received in audience Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, with whom he conversed for half an hour. The king recalled that this was the fourth anniversary of Peary's discovery. On the verge of death from starvation, Miss Zelie Emerson, a suffragist of Jackson, Mich., was released from Holloway jail in London, while British militants continued their campaign of destruction. An amazing suffragette plot to blow up the stands at the Crystal Palace football grounds, just before the greatest football match of the year, the English association cup final, April 19, was disclosed at London. With the submission to the Reichstag of the German government's armament and taxation measures, a contest will begin which is almost certain to last until the summer vacation and possibly will not be ended by fall. Recognition of the Chinese republic by the United States and the progress of the bill pending in the California Legislature to prevent Japanese from owning property in that state are absorbing topics in the Japanese public press. Hundreds of Turkish soldiers who survived the siege of Adrianople are dying of exhaustion, dysentery and cholera in the concentration camp outside that city, according to the correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph. Canada's immigration figures for the fiscal year just ended show a phenomenal increase over those of last year and will be the largest in the country's history.

Icebergs are adrift again in the northern Atlantic near the spot where the Titanic went to the bottom nearly a year ago. President Wilson is seeking to avert a diplomatic tangle with Japan over the bill pending in the California Legislature through which Japanese would be prevented from owning property in that state. After having hung in an isolated Colonial mansion of Maryland for more than a century a portrait of George Washington painted in 1794 or 1795 by Gilbert Stuart has been sold to a wealthy New York collector. The price is said to have been between $15,000 and $20,000. Senator La Follette in a signed editorial in his magazine advises all Republicans, Democrats and Bull Moose to get together and support President Wilson in the carrying out of all progressive measures, and let the politics of the 1916 presidential campaign wait until later. The St. Louis Young Women's Christian Association building was not large enough to accommodate the crowd that gathered to hear Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the President. Miss Wilson spoke twice, once in the gymnasium, and again at an overflow meeting in the assembly hall. Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, who arrived at Battle Creek, Mich., predicted that he would be the next President of the United States. With the appointment of four women to city offices in Kansas City, Kas., five important positions under the government of that municipality are held by women.

Edison was voted an honorary member of the club. Roy Cox and Miss Mae Vaughn, both of Denver, sprung a surprise on their relatives and friends by announcing their marriage. Included in the slaughter of bills was that of Senator Hecker, passed in the Senate, the purport of which was to strangle the press. Abraham Beebe, seventy, who was found unconscious in his harness shop in Denver, died at the county hospital. Death was due to tuberculosis. Former County Commissioner E. J. Estes, serving a six-year term for conspiracy to defraud Weld county, has asked the board of pardons for a parole. The first official act of Judge Charles C. Butler when the April term began in the West Side Court at Denver, was to issue the call for a grand jury. The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company is creating a roof garden on the roof of its building in Denver for the use of the girl operators.

It is rumored that the name of Cole Briscoe, chief appraiser of the State Land Board, will be sent to the Senate of the United States within the next week or two for appointment as receiver of the United States Land Office to succeed Hugh Taylor, whose term recently expired. Although it is not so stringent as the chief of the anti-trust measures drawn by President Woodrow Wilson and recently passed by the New Jersey Legislature, the Colorado anti-trust law, which was approved by Governor Ammons and unless referred to the people will soon be effective, prohibits trusts in the manufacture and sale of all commodities and products. The Globeville strikers have appealed to the Federated Churchmen of Denver for assistance, declaring that they are destitute. The churchmen's organization has not yet decided whether it will take a part in the difficulty at Globeville. The Denver Chamber of Commerce has been asked by the Portland Advertising Club to recognize the apple as America's national fruit and to pass a resolution amending the social code of the community to permit the eating of apples in public at any time or place. FUND FOR STATE ROADS HIGHWAYS CAN BE MADE PERFECT AT SMALL EXEPENSE. New Commission Organizes and Will Apportion $671,000 Now Available to Different Parts of State. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.-The new state highway commission, in session at the state-house, heard the needs of different sections of the state as outlined by representatives from every county. The commission will have $671,000 to spend during the present biennial period; this much is certain, and if the capitol building fund returns the $260,000 borrowed several years ago from the fund the total will reach $931,000. This amount, judiciously expended, experts say, will give Colorado a system of roads second to none in the world. It is said Colorado roads, in their natural state, are better than roads made at a great expenses in certain states, and that the perfect roadway can be reached in Colorado for less money than in any other state. John M. Kuykendall of Denver, representing district No. 1, was elected chairman of the advisory board of the state highway commission at the first meeting of that body at the state house. J. E. Maloney, who served with the old highway commission, was elected secretary to the highway commissioner at a salary of $2,100 per annum. The law requires that the secretary shall be a civil engineer. Mr. Maloney fills this qualification. Slugged, Robbed and Left to Die. Slugged, Robbed and Left to Die. Burlington—James H. Keller of 2629 Wilcox avenue, West Chicago, Ill., is lying in a critical condition at the county jail here suffering from two bad scalp wounds, a broken collar bone, three broken ribs and probably internal injuries from a fall from a Rock Island passenger train three miles west of here. He lay beside the track for hours before regaining consciousness and then was able to attract the attention of a farmer, who reported the matter to the county officials. Keller was brought here and given medical attention, but seems to have little chance for recovery. The injured man revived sufficiently to talk and declared that he must have been slugged and robbed and thrown from the train by two men with whom he was riding between the tender and baggage car of the train. He says that he had $3 in money when he boarded the train to beat his way to Chicago and when he regained consciousness after the fall from the train his money was gone. He has wired to his people in Chicago for assistance. Dodge Succeeds Stocker. Denver. Because he is city treasurer and the party of which he is a member is pledged to keep the party machinery free from the control of office holders.

WILSON WASTES FEW WORDS IN TELLING CONGRESS WHAT IT SHOULD DO. TARIFF REVISION HIS TOPIC President Says the Schedules Must Be Radically Changed to Square With Present Conditions, but Work Requires Careful Consideration. Washington, April 8.—President Wilson's first message to the Sixth-third congress, assembled in extraordinary session, was read in the senate and house today. It was surprisingly short, being in full as follows: To the Senate and House of Repre I have called the congress together in extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be required to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical alteration in the conditions of our economic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have remained what they were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrangement. Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation wander very far afield in our day—very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time—a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it—we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted arrangement. Only new principles of action will save us from a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep independent energy alive. It is plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters of competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Development. Not Revolution. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We Woman in New Sphere. Oporto is the only city in Portugal that can boast of having a feminine health inspector, a woman having been appointed by the government to a subinspectionship in the department of public health. Another striking appointment by the government comes with the selection of a well-known woman scholar to a professorship in ordinary at the Universities of Coimbra and Lisbon. The lady professor in question has been appointed to fill the chair in Germanic philosophy. must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by item. To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object is clear. If our motive is above just challenge and only an occasional error of judgment is chargeable against us, we shall be fortunate. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more matters than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it is necessary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws; but just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. The White House, April 8, 1913. FAMILY NAMES OF ROYALTY Royal Personages Descended Mostly From Counts, Existing Long Before Surnames Came Into Use. The royal families of Europe have not generally a surname because mostly (unlike the English houses of Stuart and Tudor, which were the respective surnames of the first king of each house before he ascended the throne) they are descended in the male line from some territorial counts existing long previous to the period in which the somewhat modern custom of surnames prevailed. King George V derives in the male line from the ancients counts of Wettin (flourishing in the tenth century), afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes of Saxe Coburg, Gotha, etc. His ancestors in the male line were of the house of Este, one of whom. Azo of Este, married early in the tenth century the daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke of Bavaria, from which match sprang in the male line the dukes of Brunswick-Lunenburg, afterwards electors of Hanover, and kings of Great Britain. The members of the royal family are described by their princely titles in proceedings in the house of lords, and no allusion is made to any surname—for instance, they sign the test roll merely by their personal or Christian name, and we know nothing of any surname which appertained by right or by usage, to her late majesty, Queen Victoria, or to his majesty King George V. Bermuda Fish. At the market during a recent week many handsome fish were to be seen, several of them taken by American tourists, and afterward presented to the fisherman who "took them out." Large amber-jacks and bonitoes, splendid game fish and chubs, as plucky and "fighty" a fish as ever took bait, were well represented. Among the others seen on the market books and elsewhere were bluefish, yellowtails, red snappers, gray snappers, butterfish, gags, hamlets, "hines," salmon and black rockfish, porgles and red rockfish. "Nigger fish," the long ago despised finny midget, has been metamorphosed to the now much sought after "cholest of the choice" of sea delicacies, the "butter fish."—Bermuda Colonists. "Soft" Job for Constable. Pension are not the only things commanded and forgotten. An inquisitive member of the British house of commons was struck one day by the presence of a policeman in one of the lobles. He wondered why this particular lobby should always have a guardian strolling up and down, and made inquiries. The records of the house were searched and it was found that 50 years previously, when the lobby was being decorated, a policeman had been stationed there to keep members from soiling their clothes. The order never having been countermanded, the constable had kept his beat for half a century. Keeping Mind In Condition. No mind is first class that is not continually reading books and conversing with men that require an effort to be understood. The novelsoaked intellect, gormandizing upon easy reading, grows flabby. Of the "Bacchae" of Euripides A thing never to be done again, scarcely to be understood, recognized as the last witness to a beauty of which the secret was lost and the ancient mold broken. -Gilbert Murray.

The newspaper, like the church, stands for all that is highest and best in the community. They are the beacon lights for knowledge, intelligence and advancement, but when the church for the sake of enthusiasm, emotion or to satisfy some old-time whimsical ideas permits an ignoramus jackleg preacher without knowledge, preparation or good sense to fill its pulpit and do hallujah stunts in the rostrum to the shame of intelligence and the mortification of the saints, but for the satisfaction of a few back numbers, it is time for the press to speak out, and speak plainly. The shame of it is that sensible men and women would tolerate this kind of a thing in Denver for a moment shows how easy it is for people to revert to former times. It also shows how real appreciation is given to men who are giving the best talent they have to exalt religion and make the church the example of the high wisdom and intelligence that it ought to be. It is no wonder that good ministers often grow impatient when they see how little a high standard of talent is rewarded in colored churches. While many Denver people are not church members, yet when they do go to church they wish to be informed, instructed and led in intelligent worship. To encourage weak men in the pulpit is to invite destruction to the cause of religion. May that day never come to Denver. OPTIMISM AND THE NEGRO PROBLEM. Optimism is a good quality to possess under any circumstances. It brings success in many cases where pessimism would have brought failure. Light-heartedness, hopefulness, patience and faith in the ultimate triumph of righteousness are universally recognized among the Negro's saving graces. There are many friends of the Negro, in the white race, who believe as steadfastly as the Negro himself believes, that the latter, ultimately, will be elevated to a position of equal importance in the affairs of the nation and of the world, as that enjoyed by the more fortunate races of the earth. A far greater number of white people, however, believe that the Negro is destined to be forever a follower and a mimic of the advanced races, rather than a sharer and partaker of equal advantages and benefits with them. There are extremists to be found in each of these elements, outside of the Negro race, whose ideas are not safe considerations for the establishment of either extreme hope or extreme fear in the minds of sober persons who are watchful over the changing conditions of the Negro citizen. The extremist who condemns the Negro to everlasting inferiority need not be abjectly feared, for the weight of accumulated evidence is entirely against him. The extremist who expects the Negro suddenly to shake off all of his disabilities and inequalities should not be too implicitly confided in, for a too great measure of hopefulness nurses manifold dangers, such as have ever brought disappointment, desolation and destruction to mankind. An English expert observer of racial conditions once expressed the belief that there would be no Negro problem in the United States in twenty years. "It is a consummation devoutly to be wished," but it partakes too much of the character of a miracle to become a reliable prophecy. Twenty years cover the life of only one generation. The young man or woman graduating from school this year will not have passed off the stage of active effort twenty years hence. The Negro has been struggling fifty years since emancipation, and while he has seen the coming of great changes many of the fundamental ills of '65 yet remain. He must not expect them to vanish in some sudden and mysterious way. He must realize and accept his burden and work with untiring faith and optimism until the generations, in God's own time, bring their full reward. ADVANCE IN BUSINESS Everywhere there is expectation of marked advance in business during the coming spring and summer, and everywhere the wide awake business man is anticipating this expected advance with increased activity in all those preparatory lines which exert an influence upon trade. Throughout the past year the uncertainty which always attaches to presidential years has been manifest in stagnated business and industrial conditions, and dull times have been a by-word throughout the land. While Colorado, with its numerous natural resources, may not have suffered as much as other states from the universal slump in trade, a decided falling off in business has been apparent but because of those resources and many other fortunate advantages, we should be among the first to feel the effects of an assured return to those normal settled conditions which inspire confidence and set everybody to work in the development of enterprises and the re-establishment of commercial and business relations which indicate the general prosperity of the masses. The only thing needed for the present is for business men generally to get in touch with the people, through such judicious advertising as, in the past, has afforded them safe and legitimate returns. The people are waiting. We are well aware that the readers of The Colorado Statesman are expectant. The advertising columns of this paper has proven the instigation of a sure, legitimate and profitable volume of trade in the past, and the peculiar conditions which make them profitable to the merchant and tradesman were never more favorable than they are today. We therefore urge upon the merchants of Denver the advisability of making our columns a source of convenient and profitable communication. CAMPBELL CHAPEL, A. M. E. handled the communicants like trained veterans CAMPBELL CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH. The pastor will begin Sunday morning a series of sermons on "Heaven." In the evening he will speak to the subject, "In Partnership with Christ." The choir has elected new officers and is rendering some inspiring music to each service. Come and hear them. Corner Twenty-third and Lawrence Sts.; Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D. D. Pastor. One hundred and forty-six persons partook of the Lord's supper last Sunday, and one, Mr. James Green, was added to the membership. It was a glorious day of refreshing on high Mother Brown has been very sick at the parsonage for several days. A reading contest is to take place at the church Thursday evening and much amusement and an enjoyable evening is promised. The men of the church will present the Ideal Orchestra and other attractions Friday evening for the benefit of the trustees. The public is invited to this entertainment. The men will cook the hot biscuits and have everything in fine shape for satisfying the most critical. Mr. R. H. Willis, our Sunday school superintendent, writes the pastor that he is enjoying a pleasant visit in California. Miss Ethel Fitchue is in charge of the school and is greatly appreciated in that capacity. Our sick are improving. The new stewardesses made a splendid impression last Sunday. They "Royal blood in my veins!" How nice it sounds! "I am descended from royalty!" Soothing to the senses of him who lulls himself into a state of blissful happiness over the thought of his great descent; for great, indeed, it is. To such as these the world moves backward, for do they not coddle themselves with the contemplation of their great, blue-bloded, royal ancestors? Personally, we should much dislike to admit the descent, for, comparing the conditions of now and then, physical and moral, we should rather rejoice over our ascent from anything royal of the middle ages. Many crimes have been justified by the doctrine that "the king can do no wrong." I am glad to admit that so far as I know there is no royal lineage in my family. I claim no interest by descent in the mountebank splendor of some ancient clan or principality, which at best could furnish but a scant following for a Chicago alderman. If I should find an ancestor to have been ruler of one of the larger courts, the habits of the middle ages would make me loath to accept the distinction, diluted though it is by 1,000 intermarriages, unless a signed, sealed and acknowledged certificate of decent modern morality went with it in addition to the hallmark of quality. While I repudiate any royal distinction, I do claim the royal blue blood of American citizenship, the grandest of all privileges, which places within our grasp opportunities so great that the pomp and circumstance of medieval royalty pale into insignificance beside it. Read if you will the unexpurgated historical tales of the middle ages, which deal almost exclusively with intrigues, crimes and outrages of the titled classes, and tell us honestly why one of royal descent is proud of his lineage. Behold the profligacy of the French court, the most glittering and gorgeous that ever surrounded a throne! Should one be proud to feel the same vicious instincts in him through ancestral privilege? I would rather trace my ancestry to the great unlettered, unvarnished, undeveloped plebeian stock, which contained the seed of future moral manhood and intelligence, unclouded by the diseased mentality of royalty, and feel that my children were marching onward and upward to that high goal which is negatived by every pretense of royalty. The kings of today are those who come unheralded. Be American, and, if your ancestry has been clouded by royal blood, forget it! Plumber Helps State Board of Health By Herbert L. Owens, M. D., Chicago The master plumber's article of recent date on the subject of having a member of his craft on the state board of health is well worthy of consideration by all medical men, as well as by the general public. There is today urgent need of the services of a practical sanitarian on our state board. The physicians who compose the state health body can cure disease and give advice as to its prevention. Here their capacity is unquestioned. But what real, practical knowledge have they, as members of a state health body, of the best methods of preventing disease through the medium of scientific schemes of sewage disposal and sanitary plumbing? Very little, I dare say. The need, then, is this: A master plumber or a practical sanitary engineer should be a member of the state board of health and should give the doctors his advice as to ways and means of conserving the public health through the best system of sanitation as regards the water we drink and the proper disposal of waste matter. In Ohio there is a state inspector of plumbing and he looks after the public health very well, indeed. In Illinois we have no state inspector of plumbing or any state supervision of matters concerning sanitary engineering. If we can't have a state inspector we should at least be allowed a master plumber on the state board of health. This would help matters a good deal. Making Man More Humane to Horse By Vernon Dudderidge, Chicago Eventually, by the measured tread of progress, the horse will be no more—it will have outlived its usefulness and disappeared. Our noble friend has been attached to us so closely for years that he has become like us; he reflects our mental states, and that is why we do not like to see him ill treated. We all have noticed animals who have been attached to persons of strong individuality, how they reflect their natures and become like them. There is that indescribable resemblance that makes us exclaim: "Well, if that animal doesn't look like that man!" It is well known that a man who owns and loves animals has a tender heart. There is something in his makeup that is lacking in the man who uses every ounce of the life energy in an animal for his own selfish ends and fumes and swears and frets when the animal falls in the street and even bergrudges the time lost. But the human race is reaching the point where it can no longer stand by and see the horse abused. When all cruelty to horses is done away with mankind will have climbed another step on the ladder of progress. Let us speed the coming of that day until the whole race gets the idea. Then we shall all have a clear conscience, knowing that, although we treated our friend roughly at times during his long stay, yet he left us with a glad heart fully recompensed for his sufferings. Mutual Benefits Gained by Saturday Holiday By THEODORE P. GIBSON Baltimore, Md. We may try to find some good reason why more employers do not adopt such a worthy custom as the closing of business at noon on Saturday. Some employers perhaps say that when they furnish steady employment their employees should be satisfied. They may reason that the employees do not have to stand the brunt of carrying on the business, are not worried about the raising of money to meet the pay roll and other expenses or rack their brains to find methods to meet competition successfully. This is in a measure true, but it does not prove that their working the full day Saturday will relieve the employer of any of the burdens which are common to any business. I believe the cases are very rare, indeed, where it can be shown that any great loss is occasioned by closing at noon on Saturday. On the contrary, it is plain that much can be gained in things essential to the welfare of the business. The granting of such little courtesies to employees promotes a spirit of respect, good will and a more intelligent interest in the business. Surely the thousands of the most progressive business men who have shown an interest in the welfare of their employees by granting them this favor bear an eloquent testimony to the mutual benefits derived therefrom.

A., will address the Young Men's Christian Brotherhood at Shorter church, Sunday April 13th, at 3:30 p. m. Mr. Moorland is one of the best orators of the race. Don't fail to hear him. The first class manner in which the poolroom is conducted by E. R. Page at Twenty-seventh and Welton streets has made it a Mecca for the best class of young men to spend their leisure moments.

Mr. Houston brought back his little daughter Josephine, who will visit the little Misses McClain. Mr. Houston is interested in the Ideal Drug store besides being a large real estate owner and is a citizen of which any community ought to be proud. While in Hot Springs he met his sister, Mrs. J. W. Rose, of New York, who is there on a pleasure trip. Mr. and Mrs. Rose conduct two dairy lunches in New York of which they are making quite a success. THE HARRIS CASE. Judge L. J. Henry of Pueblo and Lawyer Townsend were in the Supreme Court Tuesday, when they argued the Bob Harris case; asking for a reversal of the verdict which sentenced Harris to hang. The court took the case under advisement and will soon decide. Y. M. C. B. Those who were present at Shorter chapel last Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. B.'s meeting and listened to the earnest appeal made for the uplift of our men and boys for the saving of their souls, and the acquiring of such potentialities as to make them true and real men, could not but feel a certain responsibility attached to them in helping to foster this organization, the purport of which is to stretch out a hand to save and succor the thousands of our young men who have unfortunately been bereft of care and guidance in the path that leads to eternal happiness. Dr. Moorland, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, was the speaker of the hour, and his logical reasoning, cogent argument and brilliant diction seemed to have made a lasting impression on his audience, giving them inspiration to carry on this work to a more successful issue. The campaign will take a public phase on Sunday, the 13th inst., and The Colorado Statesman urgently requests its subscribers as well as the public in general to rise to this occasion and become a formidable auxiliary and agency for "The cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do." CREOLE HAIR GOODS. Mrs. W. G. Campbell of 2835 Stout street, the popular hair-culturist, has just received a full line of Natural Creole hair from Boston.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Mr. Moses Thrasinley, who left us April 14, 1912. We do not forget him, we loved him too dearly. For his memory to fade from our lives like a dream. The lips need not speak when the heart mourns sincerely. And our thoughts often rest where they are seldom seen. One year has now passed since he left us in sorrow. And sad was the shock we received on that day. But some day we'll meet and enjoy him forever. In the home of our Saviour. MRS. M. THRASHLEY AND FAMILY. A LETTER FROM AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. Logtown, Miss., April 2, 1913. Jos. D. D.

Our spring campaign for $3,000 is on in all earnestness and the smell of battle is everywhere in the air. We are not asking for the large sums at one time but the small sums at regular intervals. Each member of a club is expected to report to his captain every fortnight. In his splendid address before the Y. M. C. A. last Sabbath afternoon, Secretary Moreland thoroughly convinced our men that if they would furnish the "will" he would supply the "way" to operate successfully in Denver this great organization. Now that the "psychological moment" has arrived, Negro man in our city should fall into line and go up at once and possess the land we so much desire. Perhaps the busiest auxiliary of Shorter during the past week was the Sewing Circle. All hands were kept at it making elaborate preparations for the Big Bazaar April 29-May 1st. Woman's Day will be observed at Shorter Sunday, April 20th. An instructive and inspiring program has been arranged for the entire day and the women will be in full control. A cordial invitation is extended to the women of our sister churches. Our Allen Christian Endeavor League held a successful business meeting Monday evening last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sloan, 985 South Emerson street. Twenty-six officers were present and the following delegation was elected to the district convention to be held in Boulder, May 20th. Messrs. Royal C. Brown and Theodore von Dickersohn Mrs. M. E. Wade and Miss Eduu Douglas. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our beloved husband and father, Irving Williams, who died April 11th, 1908. MRS. IRVING WILLIAMS and FAMILY. DO THE PROPHECIES OF THE BIBLE PROVE IT INSPIRED? Speaking through the Prophet JOEL, and others, God has given us various signs that would come to pass before the second coming of Christ. The manner in which these signs would appear, and where, are all pictured in the Word. Christ, in speaking to his Disciples concerning future time, as recorded in Matt., 24th chapter, made mention of some of the things that would come in the last days. War, famine, earthquakes, distress among nations, fearful sights on sea and land and the hoarding up of great wealth are some of the things mentioned. Not that these things have not always existed, but as we draw near the close of this earth's history their visits would become more frequent, and their effects more comprehensive. Quoting the words of another, we have the following: "It is evident from the word of truth, that the evils in the world are a sign. They betoken the end of all things, but they betoken it in the same way that birth pangs betoken the birth of a child—not immediately, not at once, for that is not the way that the child is born into the world; but by paroxysms, as it were, with intervals of quiet, coming closer and closer together as we approach the final act, becoming also more and more intense as the end is near. Such is the picture given by inspiration of the wars, famines and earthquakes that are to take place before the end. They will come in paroxysms, they will come in outbursts with intervals of quiet between, growing more and more intense as we come nearer the end. As this time is reached there breaks one final, awful cataclysm that is the wreck of the world and the birth of the eternal kingdom." Famine, cyclone, and floods are not new in the earth. Therefore these things do not constitute a sign, in themselves; but their rapid reproduction is a sign of the end. In the book of Psalms, chapter 148, verse 8, we read the following: "Fire, and hail; snow and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling His word." These are some of the means and ways that God takes to call man's attention to things above. The strenuousness of the times, the great clamor for pleasure and excitement, the demon-like thirst for ostentation and parade, has almost obliterated the claim of God and the religion of Jesus Christ from the human mind. There was a time when God spake with man face to face, but now He speaks through fire, flood and fearful sights on sea and land. How sad! What has brought about this change? Curiosity led man into sin, and sin caused him to lose his exalted privilege. J. W. OWENS. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. Denver, Colo., April 12, 1913.

A custard-colored young wom- an and a seal-brown young man were supposed to have her in tow, but they were so taken up with each other and with the excitement going on that the woman was as alone, in spirit, as if she were on a country field, where she obviously came from. ‘There was a daze of rapt wonder in her eyes as she looked down at the firmament of electric stars and jew- eled planets that canopied the ave- nue from end to end. And like some old brown sybil, she raised her voice in ejaculation that, someway, took on the melody of a chant: “Lawdneben, whar did dey git all dese lights tum!

It is known as the National Society of Co- lonial Cavaliers. This is to be the most exclusive soglety in America, and you have got to have lineage, lots of it, to belong to it. The headquarters of this society are to be in this city, and its governor general is to be Mr. ©. W. De Lyon Nicholls. It seems as though this is the outgrowth of the Jamestown exposition, where a lot of “high-brows” got together and dis- cussed their lineage. It does not de- pend upon American birth, In fact. American birth won't help it out at all. This Society of Colonial Cavalters fs composed of men and women who can trace their lineage directly to a cavalier who either served under or supported Charles I, of England in his struggle with Cromwell. So far the organization has been confined to the palatinate of New York. That of Mary- land will be the first effort to extend the society. In the near future it will be carried, according to Mr. Nicholls, into Virginia, and later Into the Caro- linas.

It is a hobby of his. When he first same to congress the sergeant-atarms asked for his photo to put in the official gallery. Mr. But. ler told him in a jocular way to get any old picture and put it in for him as he had never had any made. “A long time afterward,” said Mr. Butler, “a book agent called on me.

They were poor, scarred things: some of them shotriddied and splotched with, maybe, mildew and, maybe, blood, and all of them dirty and tattered to slits. The woman studied each flag with the unemotional deference she had gust paid to Washington's old clothes. When she had finished the last one ‘and was turning away another visitor came up and stood before the case. He was #o old that his march with the veterans down the inaugural line must have put an extra limp to his stiff leg and added an extra twinge to the shoulder that was pain-drawn from rheumatism and time.

While no person can join this so- ciety who cannot produce documentary proof of his descent from a cavalier of King Charles’ times, the palatine who will preside over the palatine of Mary- land must be able to show that he is descended from either a son, a grand: son, or one who himself was a member of the British nobility of that period. It will be seen that this newest cult in snobbishness is reaching out. into the Carolinas, and ultimately into Georgia, and this brings to mind the historic fact that among the clay- eaters and sang-diggers there is a cav- alier outfit, ‘This section of the At- lantic coast was once the dumping: ground of the nobilliard scum of the old world, and soil of aristocratic penal colony, where the black sheep sons of noble houses were sent to get rid of them. printed my picture.

She can present an academic argument on this subject which would make the most stubborn and well informed opponent look up his books to answer. She is thor- oughly domestic, attends to her home and her family herself, answers her own letters and is one of the most punctilious about her social obliga- tlons. It was predicted that the Wil- son regime would present a less pre tentious social appearance than the last, and that those with whom the first lady would be surrounded dur- ing the coming four years would be representative of the more serious aspects of life. In Mrs. Burleson this prediction is literally fulfilled. “I should like,’ she said, shortly be- fore March 4, “to see the old-fashion- ed virtues revived, and I think that all this agitation will have that desir able result. Women are clamoring about the high price of living, with the result that they are looking into matters themselves and finding out where to locate the remedy. It means going to market for thousands who never dreamed of such a thing a few years ago, and it means awakening to the fact that economy demands strict personal attention. This sense of re- sponsibility is alone worth untold wealth in the material sense, and for the happiness of homes and the in- creased prosperity of the small house- holder is inestimable.

But these are mere diversions and I should deplore very much should any sort of club prevent a woman from attending to the real work of life which pertains to her home and her family. This opinion is voiced by all those who are urging a larger share of municipal responsibil- ity for women. If I thought such priv- Heges would make women restless or unfit for domestic relations, I should cease to sympathize.

There is only one peaceful house on earth— that is God's house.” Carmen Sylva makes an interesting reference to Westminster abbey. “I spent one evening of my life alone in Westminster abbey,” she says, “be- side the organ and even before it, playing a few chduds only, in the gath. ering dust, when the statues began to look as if they wer alive and moving, and I have felt better since.” ‘The cathedral her majesty would build would be of white marble, like that of Milan, inside and out; not so ornamented, much quieter than Milan, but with columns that would give the feeling of a beech wood. . . .

POPE'S ILLNESS THOUSANDS STAND IN RAIN AWAITING NEWS FROM HIS BEDSIDE. PONTIFF FEARS RESULT OF PUB- LICITY ALREADY GIVEN HIS SICKNESS. Weatern Newspaper Union News Service London, April 16.—A Rome dispaten to the Chronicle says that one of the Pope's physicians has expressed the opinion that His Holiness will rally for a time, but that his general condi- tion renders it unlikely that he will last out the present month and that the end may come suddenly from heart failure. Rome, April 10.—All official reports regarding the condition of Pope Pius X. agree that his condition is not grave and that there is no immediate danger. Anxiety continues, however, on account of the weakness of the pontiff and the action of his heart which is in need of constant stimula- tion. ‘The attending physicians found that the condition of the Pope had im- proved during Tuesday night and this improvement was maintained through- out Wednesday, although his temper- ature showed a slight increase. Again last evening his temperature rose slightly but the difference from that of the afternoon was hardly per- ceptible. The patient is given eggs beaten up in milk, but his inability to absorb nourishment contributes to the de- preesion from which he suffers, The relapse is following the same course as the original attack of infla- enza, a sough being present with irri- tation of the bronchial tubes, and dif- ‘ficulty in respiration which has led to the report in some cases that the Pooe is efflicted with asthma. This, how- ever, is erroneous. The condition of albuminuria, which usually accom a- nies influenza, also is present, indl- cating an inflammation of the kidneys of greater or lesser degree, but it ir hoped that this is of a transitory char- acter. ‘The aspect of the immense square in front of St. Peter’s recalled the scenes during the illness of Pope Leo XIIL, but instead of a burning July sun as in 1903, there was a downpour of rain. This did not prevent thous- ands of pilgrims from gathering and gazing with grave anxiety at the three windows of the room on the third floor of the apostolic palace where the Pope lies, or from directing sympa- thetic glances at the little house int he square below where the sisters of the Pope occupy a modest apartment. THREE WOUNDED IN CHARGE. Woman and Boy Fall as Troops Fight Buffalo Strikers. Buffalo, N. Y.—‘Fire!” came the command from an officer of the guards called out in the carmen’s strike.

P, Morgan will lie in state from the time of its arrival on the liner France on Friday until Monday morning in the red room of his Madison avenue home, where the financier met his di- rectors and transacted the greater part of his business in recent years. ‘The room is 85 by 40 feet, and is built of white stone with red Turkish carpets and hangings. The casket will be placed on a funeral bier under the portraits of the dead banker's father, Junius Spencer Morgan, and that of his son, John Pierpont Mor- gan, who succeeds him, Mr. Morgan's favorite flowers, deep red roses and American beauties, will be used exclusively to adorn the room.

C.—Included in the Democratic tariff revision bill is an income tax section, which would require every resident of the United States who earns more than $4,000 a year to pay a tax of 1 per cent. on his earnings in excess of the exemption. This would not compel the man who earns only $4,000 to pay a tax, but it would demand that one who earned $4,100, for example, pay into the government treasury an annual tax of 1 per cent. on $100, or $1. The bill also would provide higher rates of taxation for persons with larger incomes, adding a surtax of 1 per cent. additional on earnings in excess of $20,000; 2 per cent. additional on earnings in excess of $50,000, and 3 per cent. additional on earnings in excess of $100,000. How Surtax Would Be Imposed. Under the surtax provisions the man who earns $20,000 would pay to the government each year at the rate of 1 per cent. on $16,000 ($4,000 exempt), or $160. If he earns $30,000 he would pay 1 per cent. on $16,000 and 2 per cent. on $10,000, making his annual tax $360. The person with a $50,000 income would pay 1 per cent. on $16,000 and 2 per cent. on $30,000—a total tax of $760. The man with an income of $100,000 would be required to pay 1 per cent. on $16,000, 2 per cent. on $30,000, and 3 per cent. on $50,000, which would be $1,500, bringing his total income tax to $2,260. Anyone with a net income of a million would pay this $2,260 on his first $100,000 and in addition he would pay 4 per cent. on $900,000, which would bring his total tax to $38,260. This bill also would re-enact the present corporation tax law, imposing a 1 per cent. tax on the earnings of corporations, stock companies, insurance companies and the like, but it would exempt partnerships. This is a flat tax, there being no graduated scale as the earnings increase. The few changes from the present corporation tax act, concern chiefly the time of making returns and the time for collection. The bill includes under its provisions the property and earnings in this country of persons who live abroad. May Bring In $100,000,000. It is estimated by members of the ways and means committee that approximately $100,000,000 in revenue may be derived from this new tax, including the corporation tax, that amount making up for the deficit in revenues to be derived from imports by virtue of the greatly reduced tariff and the transfer to the free list of articles that are classed as necessaries of living. Incomes of taxable persons shall include gains, profits and income derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of whatever kind and in whatever form paid, or from professions, vocations, business, trade, commerce or sales or dealings in property, also from interest, rent, dividends, securities, including income from property, income from but not the value of property acquired by bequest, devise or descent, and also proceeds of life insurance policies paid upon death of persons insured. Provision Made for Deductions. The bill allows as deductions in computing net income all necessary expenses actually incurred in carrying on any business, not including personal living or family expenses, interest accrued and payable within the year by a taxable person on indebtedness; all national, state, county, school and municipal taxes, not including local benefit taxes; losses incurred in trade or from fires, storms or shipwreck not compensated by insurance or otherwise; debts actually ascertained as worthless and charged off; also reasonable allowance for wear and tear on property; but no deduction will be allowed for expense of restoration or improvements made to increase property value. It excepts also, in computing net income, amounts received as dividends upon the stock of any corporation, joint stock company, association or insurance company which is taxable upon its net income under the corporation tax provision of the bill. The bill excludes the compensation of the president of the United States during his term, that of judges of the Supreme and inferior courts of the United States, and compensation of all officers and employees of a state or any political subdivision thereof. System of Collection Framed. It establishes a system of collection of the tax at its source, requiring all persons, firms, copartnerships, companies, corporations, joint stock companies, associations or insurance companies, and all trustees, executors, administrators, receivers, etc., and officers and employees of the United States having the control or disposal of salaries, wages, interest and other profits and income of another person to withhold and pay to the collector of internal revenue the amount of income tax due from such person. All such persons or firms are made personally liable for such tax. Persons or corporations liable to make return on incomes who fail to do so at a specified time, are made liable to a fine not exceeding $500 and the penalty for false or fraudulent returns is fixed at $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. "In formulating this additional impost," said Chairman Underwood in his report, "the attempt has been made to provile not only a source of revenue, but also a means of redressing in some measure the unequal tax burdens which result from the practice of basing the federal income entirely upon customs and internal revenue duties. This is a system of taxation which inevitably throws the burden of supporting the government upon the shoulders of the consumers. It correspondingly exempts the men of larger income, whose consumption of the ordinary necessaries of life is subject to tariff taxation in a far less aggregate degree than is that of smaller income earners, who expend the greater proportion of their resources for the ordinary necessaries of life." Underwood Defends Plan. Speaking of the principle of taxation laid down and the graduated system proposed, Mr. Underwood declared: "The progressive principle already has been sustained by the Supreme court of the United States in the inheritance tax cases and there can be no doubt that the same principle applies to the income tax included in this bill and will be fully upheld should it ever be called into question. Owing to defects in personal property taxation, the larger incomes in the United States have for many years been able to escape with less than their share of the general burden of taxation, and this inequity will be, it is believed, in part overcome by the plan proposed." The bill provides that all taxable persons shall be notified of the amount for which they are liable under the law on or before the 1st day of June of each year and assessments must be paid on or before June 30. For delay in making payments and ten days after notice, there shall be added the sum of 5 per cent. of the amount of tax unpaid and interest at the rate of 1 per cent. a month from the time the tax fell due. The corporation tax provision, it is directed, shall be computed upon income for the year ending December 31, 1913, and for each calendar year thereafter. It is provided, however, that corporations may designate the last day of any month as the day of the closing of the fiscal year and may have the tax computed on the basis of net income ending on its designated day. All labor, agricultural, horticultural, fraternal, religious and mutual benefit societies are made exempt from the tax. Has the Earmarks. Guide—In front of you is the national capitol. Miss Gush—Ch. isn't it angelic? Mr. Grouch—Angelic? Why, young woman, how can you speak of it as being angelic? Miss Gush—Well, it has wings, hasn't it? AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Editor J. H. Murphy of the Afro-American, Baltimore, has been traveling through the south. Mr. Murphy not only uses his pen well, but he uses both his eyes and his ears. In his correspondence to his paper he sounds a bugle call that our race here in the north should hear and heed. Hear what he says: Jacksonville, Fla.—A great deal of sympathy is being wasted among the colored folks in many of the northern and eastern estates upon the negro of the south. A good deal of this sympathy might well be saved. In a great many things the negro of the south is far and away ahead of the negro of the north. We venture the assertion that there are more negro clerks, bookkeepers, secretaries, typewriters in Birmingham alone than there are in New York City, or possibly Chicago, or any one other large northern city. Another proposition in the south is the large number of negro mechanics. They are here in large and increasing numbers, thanks to the Tuskegee school spirit and the sentiment of the south itself. One will hardly see a building of any proportions, or with no proportions at all, but one sees the inevitable negro mechanic. And moreover he works beside his white brother without the least friction, so one may see a negro bricklayer, or a negro carpenter, plumber or gas fitter working side by side with a white fellow mechanic. One may see in almost any large city in the south even skyscrapers erected entirely by negro mechanics, and a negro architect drawing the plans and directing the work. While I am writing this letter I am sitting at a window which looks out over a huge five-story building going up upon which I have not seen a white workman except the foreman, which happened because there was no negro builder or contractor under the terms necessary to put up the building. And by the way it is a negro building, three stories of which will be devoted to commercial purposes, that is, offices and stores, and I have been informed that nearly all the available space has been already taken up. I have also been informed that when the building is completed that a number of the substantial citizens of this place are going to open up a bank in first class shape with at least twenty-five thousand dollars capital. Just as there has been an organized movement to have anti-intermarriage measures passed in the various legislatures throughout the country, so is there a well-engineered plan on foot to have the colored railroad porter ousted in the west and middle west, although several states have refused to consider the plan seriously. The scheme is to prevent the employment of colored men as train porters. Porters in the Pullman service are not affected. As usual, the train porters are unorganized and are fighting the hostile measures the best they can. In each of the states in the west and middle west bills have been introduced in the legislatures known as the Full Crew Bill, which provides for a brakeman and flagman on all passenger trains carrying more than three coaches. The purpose of the Full Crew Bill is to do away with the colored train porter, as he carries a switch key the same as the brakeman and performs similar duties. A woman says the way to reach a man's heart may be through his stomach, but it may take cunning or brute strength to reach his pocketbook. On a visit to Atlanta university, in company with other white men, Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, emphasized the mutual dependence of the white race upon the black race. He declared that if the city homes, white and black, were kept as clean as the buildings of the school the mortality of the city would be reduced by more than half. Mr. Howell said that education was a good thing for all creatures and all people of whatever race. That among all people will be found two distinct castes, the good and the bad. The party visiting the school consisted of Judge W. R. Hammond, Clark Howell, J. K. Orr and Dr. C. B. Wilmer. Each one of the party made short addresses to the students, Judge Hammond emphasizing the importance of individual responsibility and the too frequent tendency of people to shift the burden upon someone else. The Daily Reporter is the name of a negro daily newspaper being published in Jacksonville, Fla., by a company of colored men. It is making a favorable impression. There has been organized in Valdosta, Ga., a business and professional men's league. Nothing is more needed in a city where there is such a large number of both. As far as we could learn, the officers are: Mr. W. S. Larkin, president; Dr. C. C. Strickland, vice-president, Mr. M. G. Miller, secretary. Should an original idea strike some men it would give them a headache. A lazy man's feet leave their imprint on the path of least resistance. What is woman's work? It used to be so defined by custom as to be as unmistakable as the clothing she wears distinguishing her from mere man, and it was considered as unwomanly to do man's work as to wear man's clothing. Even now the woman who wears short hair is looked upon as being as queer as the man who wears long hair. The tendency among some women to wear clothing fashioned after that of men, like riding horseback astride, is frowned upon by those who see nothing but degeneration of the race in the unsexing of the woman in her clothing, manners and occupation. Women have of late years so encroached upon the occupations of men in the office, the store and the factory as to lessen the wage earning capacity of men and the ability of men to support families, so that marriages are fewer and divorces are more numerous than in old times. The wages paid to women who do the work of men is less than that paid to men, and women do not spend their earnings in family making and educating as men do. Indeed, how a woman will spend a dollar bill is as much of mystery as what a Bull Moose would do in the White House. And women who begin life as independent wage earners, and who constantly associate with men in their employments, develop a freedom from mutual helpfulness and a certain hardness of manners that unfits them for the successful work of the home as wives and mothers. The sons of Sparta always knew their mothers but never their fathers. It is that way now with dogs, human and canine. A masculine woman is as dangerous in the home as a feminine man. We do the race an injury by looking down, upon, and underestimating the importance in the body politic of the man who serves, and it is more than probable that he sometimes underestimates his own worth by failing to magnify his calling, and neglecting to do his work so efficiently as to leave no room for improvement on the part of any one. The monopoly which we used to hold in these lines got away from us not because of favoritism to the man with a white skin, but because this latter was able to put it over us in the matter of cleanliness, efficiency, faithfulness and reliability. Circumstances are breaking strong in our favor, and it will be our fault if we do not get a stronger hold on what ever comes our way. And we delate ourselves woefully when we imagine that the other fellow doesn't want our job. That day has passed. The negro doesn't hold a job today that the other fellow would not take with eagerness. We must learn not only to get there, but "to stay there" by right of merit—Ethiopian Phalanx. That there are 121 colored people in business and twenty-five in the professions in Columbus, Ohio, is but another sign that the negro of the north is coming into his own. There are among the business men six coal dealers, three contractors, four confectioners, three feed merchants, four hotel keepers, eight restaurant keepers, and five shoemakers. A polite discussion is going on between a colored citizen of Nashville, Tenn., and The Globe, a negro newspaper of that city, concerning the fitness of Fisk university having a negro as president. August Stanfield, graduate of Howard university, passed the highest examination in a class of more than forty-five applicants for license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey, before the state board of examiners of Trenton. Dr. Stanfield will locate and practice at Morristown, New Jersey. Students in our colored colleges deserve to be commended for the manner in which they conduct themselves in contrast with the actions of students in many white institutions of learning. Here is a case in point: According to the University Register, Harvard students spend $603,780 for clothes, $98,255 for cigars and cigarettes and $73,250 for wines, as compared to $71,250 for books. Prof. Cyrus Wiley, A. B., who for eleven years has been principal of the colored public schools at Valdosta, Ga., has made his debut into the ministry. He preached his first sermon at St. Paul A. M. E. church in that city. He will retain his position as principal of the schools. J. A. Ross of Detroit, Mich., a life long Democrat and a prominent negro, is being boosted for the position of Recorder of Deeds under Woodrow Wilson's administration. This change of administration is placing before us many new colored political faces anyway. Another way for a rich man to attract favorable attention is to let the wives of other men alone. Not only is poverty a crime, but so is six dollars the week. HELLO FRED!

BIDDING DEFIANCE TO RAIN FACE POWDER OPENLY USED Waterproof Materials Light and Neat, and Keep Off the Too Insistent Moisture. There are all sorts of waterproof goods. Some perform the functions allotted to them well, while others are only rain-proof in a light shower. It requires more than waterproof material to resist the gusts of rain which are blown against one in an open car. The very force of the rain seems to drive it through the thickest of stuffs. The best protection in such a storm is the good, old-fashioned souwester which the fishermen wear when the sea is in an angry mood. The modern interpretation of the ollskin of the fisherman is a fabric as light and as subtle as silk. It comes in fascinating browns and blues and purples, and is so light in weight that it can easily be slipped over the top coat. It is a very comforting thought to know that one of these coats, in its accompanying envelope, is stowed away in the motor for the unexpected storm. To accompany this coat, there is a cap which is almost a replica of the genuine souwester. This may be fastened so that the neck is well protected. V Dress of olive green broadcloth with silk waist in the same shade and yoke of white silk. The skirt shows the straight tailored lines with panel effect Strikingly New Acquisitions Are Provided for the Really Up-to-Date Toilet Table. This is a period of paint, powder and perfume; society belle and "chorus lady" allike are frank about its use. Today we complete our toilette with a spray from an atomizer filled with Bacchanale; tomorrow we will adopt Cyclamen. The bouquet odors such as ambre antique, Mimosa or Djer Kiss are preferred at present, but the popularity of a special perfume like the flowers from which it takes its fragrance, is short lived. Carolina White extract has eclipsed the extracts named for the other notable woman, namely, Mary Garden and Sarah Bernhardt. The violet odor is always popular. It is said Queen Mary of England never uses anything else in extract, toilet water, soap, sachet or bath salt. The rose, both the Jacqueminot and the white, is always well liked. Gold-colored or Oriental powder as it is called is strikingly new. The violet, purple and bright vermilion tints have been seen before, but gold never. Color in rouge has deepened. The brunette rouge which is so much affected is almost a purple red. Powder pomponettes, consisting of tiny puffs of cotton spread with powder in the rose blanche or rochelle shades, and are sealed in individual tissue envelopes. A hundred of these little jackets are arranged in a French wallpaper box. The moist lip-stick is new. It is a vegetable compound and remains on the lips until removed, unlike the lip-stick of red cream which is soon absorbed. Kitchen Aprons Aprons for wear in the kitchen should be all enveloping. They can be made of gingham, percale or white lawn, but however made they should completely cover the skirt, and should have a large bib. A ruffle about the bottom of the apron protects the hem of the dress, as it catches and wards off anything which is spilled or dropped. Kitchen aprons need not be unattractive because they are big and serviceable. They can be made of white self-figured percale or madras, edged with blue or pink or any other color. A folded bias lawn band can be folded over the edges of the apron like a binding, or scalloping braid, which is sold in many colors and styles, can be stitched under a neatly turned hem. Hot-Water Remedy. Over-tired women who retire at night or lie down for a few minutes during the afternoon vainly seeking sleep, which refuses to come, should try the hot-water remedy. Simply bathe the face and temples, the wrists and behind the ears with water as hot as can be borne. This will often induce sleep. A glassful of hot water with a lump of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice added is a favorite "soothing" drink of Frenchwomen, and helps to woo sleep. It often takes the place of tea in the Frenchwoman's dietary. PHONE MAIN 61 23—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 1669. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST. THE DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY J. R.
