THURSDAY JULY 31st, CITIZEN'S PICNIC, GLACIER LAKE THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Colored Men's Department Of The Y. M. C. A. Color Department The Y. Some inquiries are being made about the time for starting the Colored Men's Department of the Denver Y. M. C. A. Although the Committee of Management has not been doing much talking, they have been busily at work, trying to find the right man for a secretary and perfecting plans for starting work as soon as a proper man can be found. In connection with the secretary, the following letter from Dr. Moorland will be of interest to our readers. Dr. C. D. DeFrautz, 2716 Welton St. Denver, Col. I saw Mr. Bilheimer and Mr. Sweet at the convention, they were much encouraged over the prospect of the new branch and said they wanted the best secretary in the country and must have him by "return mail." I told them I had not found the man and would not recommend any but a good one for Denver. I still insist it is better to wait a few weeks longer for the right man than to make a mistake by undue hurry at this period. Last year we secured five number one men from our summer school. This year we have a larger number of good men who expect to attend. I am sure we can safely count on finding the right man at that time. I have two or three very promising men in mind for Denver and beg of you time to make further investigation of them. Very kindly assure your men I have their interest at heart am not asleep on the job. Very truly yours. J. E. MOORLAND. 300—7th St. Cincinnati, O. In accordance with the announcement made several times during the campaign conducted in April, no effort will be made to secure a site for building until the pledges have been fully paid. In harmony with this plan, the Committee of Management has engaged Albert Patrick to devote his time during the next few weeks to collecting the outstanding pledges, some of which are now past due. The friends who subscribed during the campaign will confer a favor on the Committee of Management by ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION being ready to make their payments to Mr. Patrick when he calls, or else by sending checks direct to Mr. S. A. Bondurant, whose address is 6 E. 11th Avenue, City. LEVY ACT IS NOT AFFECTED BY DECISION The decision of the United States Supreme Court, handed down a few days ago, which declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional and not applicable to Federal territory or navigable waters of the United States, is variously regarded by Negro citizens of New York and elsewhere. That it does not affect the Civil Rights acts of New York and other States where such laws are on the statutes is now generally known despite the attempts of the New York World, New York Tribune and other papers to confuse their readers with the issues involved. The point was decided in the case of Mary F. Butts of Everett, Mass., who sued the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company for damages under the law because she was required to eat at a second table and use soiled linen on a trip from Boston to Norfolk, on an occasion when she held a first-class ticket. She averred that she was discriminated against solely because of her color. In announcing the court's decision Justice Van Devanter said that Congress had not intended to to legislate separately for the States, must be held invalid in all respects. There were two Civil Rights bills. One was an act designed to carry out the intention of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting slavery, which, it was alleged, the Southern States were attempting to nullify by public conveyances, hotels and theaters. There were five test cases in the Supreme Court of the constitutionality of the second bill, decided in one group, October term 1893. Two of them were for hotel discrimination, two for theatre discrimination, and one for railroad discrimination. The court held that certain sections of the law were unconstitutional as applied to States, not being founded on either the Thirteenth or fourteenth Amendments. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 28 1913. State HIst & Nat Hist Boccey State House 1st, CITIZE ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO NEGRO CHAUFFEURS NO LONGER DESIRED (From New York Commercial) Negro chauffeurs no longer are permitted within the petrol-flavored precincts of many of the best garages of New York and each day sees accessions to the list of these auto-storage places where the brother in black is not wanted. The chauffeur may be only a quardroon, an octooroon even, but standing firmly by the adage "a nigger is a nigger even if you white-wash him" the garage proprietors refuse sanctuary to the machine he drives. Whether the white chauffeurs are banded together in league against the black is not clear, but certain it is that garage proprietors are daily inviting auto owners with Negro chauffeurs to store their machines elsewhere. "If I keep your machine," one auto-owner was informed, "I shall lose six or eight now stored here. It's a business matter with me." Really things are coming to a pretty pass here in the North New York City's Negro population is growing steadily, and as fast as he is driven from one occupation the black is entering those fields which, either because they are new or because hitherto they have been occupied entirely by whites, have not yet been closed to him. From the housebuilding trades and the mechanical fields he is largely excluded. The chauffeur is a development of the past ten years and it is only lately that he has become a factor. Office work thus far is limited to office boy and messenger service, but if this thing keeps up he will develop into a bookkeeper, office manager or coorporation director, while his sister will be seeking employment as a hello girl or stenographer. But the sense of justice so strongly characteristic of the white brother in this neck of the woods will soon see to it that the Negro wins the privilege of holding down any position which the white man does not need, provided the Negro understands that the white man is entitled to every available job in every line of work. The South handles its problems in its own way and there the "downtrodden" black seems really contented with the fact that no protest ever is made that he is invading the white man's fields. He keeps to his own, but the southern white man has arranged matters so that there is work for every Negro who will work. The house building trades, the mechanical fields and occupations of many kinds are open to him, while the fact that socially and otherwise he is kept apart has developed a large and growing field of financial and commercial endeaver in which the better minds and hands find profitable employment. The Negro banker, real estate operator, retailer, lawyer, physician, dentist and publisher are found in every southern town, and a Negro board of trade can usually be found doing its part in the promotion of community interests. But then, everybody knows that the south mistreats its Negroes while the north calls him "mister" and sympathizes. WLLL KNOWN PHSICIAN ON BOARDOF EDUCATION Washington, D. C., June 20. The appointment of Dr. Greed W. Childs as a member of the Board of Education for the District of Columbia gives general satisfaction to face. He succeeds Lawyer R. R. Horner, and the term is for three years, beginning July 1. Dr. Childs is a native of Alabama, but has long been a resident of Washington and has been actively identified with every movement looking to the educational, religious, commercial and social and civic uplift of the people of this community. He has served capably in many positions of public trust, and perhaps no man in the nation's capital is more widely known, and certainly none is more highly respected or better loved by all classes. He has been physician to the poor of the district; sanitary and food inspector of the Health Department, and medical inspector of the contagious disease department. JACK JOHNSON GRANTED APPEAL Chicago, June 23.—An appeal from the verdict which sentenced him to a year in prison for violation of the Mann white slave act was granteb "Jack" Johnsnu, the Negro pugilst, by Judge Carpenter, in the United States district court here today. Establishment of a Negro university in the North was the principal consideration of the New England Baptist convention in session at Washington. The convention went over the question of the proposed institution and voted $10,000 toward its endowment fund. The convention also issued an address to the country decrying the existence of race prejudice. Hearty Dutch Salutation. Hearty Dutch Salutation. The Dutch are exceedingly sparing of words, but their God bless you! after someone has sneezed is both quick and hearty. That sneezing is an evil, the bad effects of which can be averted by prayer, is an almost, world-wide superstition, but as colonizers the Dutch had particular opportunity to test its universality. Sneezing is taken more seriously in Holland than anywhere else. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Springfield, Mass., June 17. The Illinois Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $25,000 for the holding of an exposition in 1915 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The consensus of opinion is that at the next session another appropriation will be made to further the work of the commission. Talking about race progress, Furlong Tract, a four-block section of Los Angeles, valued at $375,000, is owned by colored people. It has four stores, two churches, a bakery and has many colored machinist, laborers and contractors. Adding $75,000 personal property to the realty, the Negroes of this section own a total of $450,000 worth of this world's goods. Aunt Letty Garner, colored, 106 years, three months and 16 days old, whose friends claim she was the oldest woman in Dauphin county died at Harrisburg, Pa, at the city alms house. She came to Harrisburg in 1863, after she was liberated from a plantation in Virginia. Her friends were able to tell her axact age, as the master of the pantation on which she worked kept a record of all births among his slaves. A generation and a half of freedom may not have taught the colored man all of the white man's virtues, but there were few Negroes a generation ago who owned homes or horses, who could read and write, who had any thought beyond the crude comfort of the moment. Some of the hopes and ideals of the time immediately following emancipation and enfranchisement faded for the rural colored man, but he is slowly acquiring a new racial outlook and a new racial outlook and a new self-respect. A Negro farmer died recently in a rich wheat growing region of northern Delaware leaving a fortune of $20,000 in lands and live stock, a family of children to whom he had given a fair education and notions of thrift and a reputation among his white neighbors of being absolutely honest and as respectable as any man of any color. Commander Eva Booth of the Salvation Army of America has commissioned six colored officers of the army, to work exclusively NO 43 among the colored people of the District of Columbia and the south. The National Capital is to be the first city where the colored Salvationist are to work. In charge of the work among the colored people of Washington will be Adjutant C. N. Roberts, who will be assisted by two officers, to be assigned later. Among the plans of the army for the uplift of colored people is the erection of an industrial home for "down and out" colored men; while a colored training school is also contemplated for the near future. The school according to present plans, is to be built either in Washington or some central southern point. This school, it is stated, is to be under the exclusive management of colored instructors, and it is planned to conduct it along the same lines as those that have been successful followed by Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee. Washington, D. C., June 19. Representative James B. Aswell, of Louisiana, has introduced a bill in the house having for its object the segregation of whites and Negroes employed in government offices. The bill provides that in all executive departments, white clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same office or work room with clerks or employees of African blood or descent, nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the order or supervision of any person of African blood or descent. Also that in the railway mail service, white clerks shall not, except in cases of emergency, be ordered to duty in the same mail car with postal cleks of African blood or descent. Legislation also is sought by some of the Southern Democratic members of Congress for the purpose of separating whites and Negroes on the street cars in the district of Columbia. In some of the government departments, particularly those under the jurisdiction of Southern Democrats, the process of segregating the whites and Negroes has already commenced, with out waiting for legislation to compel it. In the postoffice department for instance, the work of segregation commenced very soon after Postmaster General Burleson assumed charge, and it is now so well under way that segregation has practically been accomplished, and the Negro employees work in rooms in which no white employees are on duty.

ENGLISH SHOT IN HOME WIFE PULLS BLIND AS MAN FIRES THROUGH WINDOW. Wealthy Itallan's Wife, Who Was Hit By Two Shots, Declares Cousin Did the Shooting. Western Newspaper Union News Service.

READS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Business Men of Country Should Be Given Banking and Currency System. Which Will Make Possible Individual Initiation. Washington, June 23.—The following is President Wilson's message to congress on the subject of currency reform: Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Congress: It is under the compulsion of what seems to me a clear and imperative duty that I have a second time this session sought the privilege of addressing you in person. I know, of course, that the heated season of the year is upon us, that work in these chambers and in the committee rooms is likely to become a burden as the season lengthens, and that every consideration of personal comfort, perhaps, in the cases of some of us, considerations of personal health even, dictate an early conclusion of the deliberations of the session; but there are occasions of public duty when these things which touch us privately seem very small; when the work to be done is so pressing and so fraught with big consequence that we know that we are not at liberty to weigh against it any point of personal sacrifice. It is absolutely imperative that we should give the business men of this country a banking and currency system by means of which they can make use of the freedom of enterprise and of individual initiative which we are about to bestow upon them. We are about to set them free; we must not leave them without the tools of action when they are free. We are about to set them free by removing the trammels of the protective tariff. Ever since the Civil war they have waited for this emancipation and for the free opportunities it will bring with it. It has been reserved for us to give it to them. Some fell in love, indeed with the slothful security of their dependence upon the government; some took advantage of the shelter of the nursery to set up aalmic mastery of their own within walls. Now both the tonic and the discipline of liberty and maturity are to ensue. There will be some adjustments of purpose and point of view. There will follow a period of expansion and new enterprise, freshly conceived. It is for us to determine now whether it shall be rapid and facile and of easy accomplishment. This it can not be unless the resourceful business men who are to deal with the new circumstances are to have at hand and ready for use the instrumentalities and conveniences of free enterprise which independent men need when acting on their own initiative. It is not enough to strike the shackles from business. The duty of statesmanship is not negative merely. It is constructive also. We must show that we understand what business needs and that we know how to supply it. No man, however casual and superficial his observation of the conditions now prevailing in the country, can fail to see that one of the chief things business needs now, and will need increasingly as it gains in scope and vigor in the years immediately ahead of us, is the proper means by which readily to vitalize its credit, corporate and individual, and its originate brains. What will it profit us to be free if we are not to have the best and most accessible instrumentalities of commerce and enterprise? What will it profit us to be quit of one kind of monopoly if we are to remain in the grip of another and more effective kind? How are we to gain and keep the confidence of the business community unless we show that we know how both to aid and to protect it? What shall we say if we make fresh enterprise necessary and also make it very difficult by leaving all else except the tariff just as we found it? The tyrannies of business, big and little, lie within the field of credit. We know that. Shall we not act upon the knowledge? Do we not know how to act upon it? If a man cannot make his assets available at pleasure, his assets of capacity and character and resource, what satisfaction is it to him to see opportunity beckoning to him on every hand, when others have the keys of credit in their pockets and treat them as all but their own private possession? It is perfectly clear that it is our duty to supply the new banking and currency system the country needs, and that it will immediately need it more than ever. The only question is, When shall we supply it—now, or later, after the demands shall have become reproaches that we were so dull and so slow? Shall we hasten to change the tariff laws and then be laggards about making it possible and easy for the country to take advantage of the change? There can be only one answer to that question. We must act now, at whatever sacrifice to ourselves. It is a duty which the circumstances forbid us to postpone. I should be recreant to my deepest convictions of public obligation did I not press it upon you with solemn and urgent insistence. The principles upon which we should ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION act are also clear. The country has sought and seen its path in this matter within the last few years—see it more clearly now than it ever saw it before—much more clearly than when the last legislative proposals on the subject were made. We must have a currency, not rigid as now, but readily, elastically responsive to sound credit, the expanding and contracting credits of everyday transactions, the normal ebb and flow of personal and corporate dealings. Our banking laws must mobilize reserves; must not permit the concentration anywhere in a few hands of the monetary resources of the country or their use for speculative purposes in such volume as to hinder or impede or stand in the way of other more legitimate, more fruitful uses. And the control of the system of banking and of issue which our new laws are to set up must be public, not private, must be vested in the government itself, so that the banks may be the instruments, not the masters, of business and of individual enterprise and initiative. The committees of the congress to which legislation of this character is referred have devoted careful and passionate study to the means of accomplishing these objects. They have honored me by consulting me. They are ready to suggest action. I have come to you, as the head of the government and the responsible leader of the party in power, to urge action now, while there is time to serve the country deliberately and as we should, in a clear air of common counsel. I appeal to you with a deep conviction of duty. I believe that you share this conviction. I therefore appeal to you with confidence. I am at your service without reserve to play my part in any way you may call upon me to play it in this great enterprise of exigent reform which it will dignify and distinguish us to perform and discredit us to neglect. PASSION FOR THE "PARLOR" Medical Officer Finds Fault With Custom of Using Poorest Rooms for Sleep. In the course of lectures on personal hygiene at the Royal Sanitary institute, Prof. H. R. Kenwood, medical officer of health for Bedfordshire, dealt with "The Home." Much might be done for the prevention of tuberculosis by the improvement of the home, he said, according to the London Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was dirt there was also degradation. But it was the really invisible dirt in the form of germs in the atmosphere or ground that was the most harmful. It was essential in dealing with these to make the acts of cleansing as simple as possible, and there should be no heavy pieces of furniture to move; no nailed-down carpets, but movable strips and squares and light washable curtains. It should be remembered that there is no such thing as dry cleaning. Dusting was a mere disturbance of particles unless a damp cloth, tea leaves or wet sand were employed. Was there, he asked, anything more absurd than to find a little house in a shabby genteel street with its bedroom accommodation overtaxed and the best apartment used as the parlor—that holy of holies, with its odor that might be called sanctimonious, and occupying cubic space that could be far better used? This passion for the parlor was almost like the fetish of the uncivilized. Direct sunshine, with its regenerative power and germicide effects, should not be reduced by heavy curtains. It was the soundest of investments to make the home as healthy and attractive as possible. The cuckoo type of parent, depositing its children at school and expecting them to learn everything there, should realize that the true influences in youth are those of the home itself. Obliterating Field of Waterloo. Obliterating Field of Waterloo. While Americans are observing the semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and thousands study the battle by the aid of the monuments and markers on the battlefield, complaint comes to England that the Waterloo terrain is in danger. While La Hale Sainte and Hougomont still bear the marks of cannon shot, both are in danger of being rebuilt, and part of the Hougomont wall against which the wave of French courage dashed in vain has already been pulled down. That is not the worst of the situation, according to a British officer who recently visited the field. "Tramcars" and cheap fares have been followed by "tawdry cafes" located on the very spot whence the Imperial Guard recoiled. What is to be done? The suggestion is that co-operation of Belgians and Englishmen who would preserve the topography of Waterloo many be effective in doing for that famous field what has been done for Gettysburg, but the first step, it is admitted, will be very expensive. If preservation is not organized there is danger that the strategic points will be obliterated by garden and farm field—Boston Transcript. To Train Porch Vines. One of the best labor-saving arrangements is a device to fasten the strings or wire netting for the vines of the porch. A strip of wood one inch square and about six feet long, with a strong screw eye at each end, is all that is needed. Drive two nails into the upper part of the porch, the same distance apart as the screw eyes, then after tying the strings onto the strip lift it up and hook the screw eyes over the nails. Fasten the lower ends of the strings into the ground with small pegs and train the vines on them. All problems are ultimately problems of education. If there is civic irresponsibility, the remedy is to educate the people. If there is a moral degeneration, the remedy is to educate the people. If there is industrial backwardness, the remedy is to educate the people. This is gradually being appreciated the world over, and the most remarkable demonstration of it appears to be in the little land of the Danes, which Booker T. Washington in the current World's Work, New York city, declares to be "the happiest country in Europe, perhaps the happiest country in the world." Yet Denmark, half a century ago, sustained a crushing military defeat at the hands of Prussia, and lost one-third of her richest territory. Perhaps it was this loss that awakened the country to its opportunity and need. The army has been doing as a state, making the most of its limited area, few resources and humble population. The agency described by Mr. Washington as most characteristic is the rural high school system of Denmark. These rural high schools, he believes, have transformed the country. They are the power back of the Danish farmer who is the power back of the Danish throne. He lives better than his class in any other part of Europe, and we are told that, if not every peasant's cottage, at least every co-operative dairy has its shower bath. Illiteracy has almost disappeared in Denmark. Of all the immigrants who enter the United States, 24.2 per cent. are unable to read or write. Of the Scandinavian immigrants, however, only eight per cent. are thus deficient, the significance of which fact can be fully appreciated only when it is known that even the German immigrants are 5.8 per cent. illiterate, though Germany's educational system is supposed to be well-nigh perfect. 1. In all cases of typhoid, however mild, the patient should remain in bed. The course of the disease may be greatly shortened by keeping the patient in a prostrate position. 2. The vessels used in the sick room should be thoroughly scalded after use. 3. All food utensils should be washed and scalded separately before placing with dishes used by the family. 4. Bed linen, towels, wearing apparel, should be plunged into boiling water or water containing a strong solution of carbolic acid before they are washed. 5. Chloride of lime, which can be bought by dozen cans, or bichloride of mercury, are safe disinfectants for vessels used in the sick room. 6. The caretaker should cleanse her hands with a disinfectant (carbolic acid, creolin, bichloride of mercury), before taking food. 7. Treat all excreta from patients with disinfectant of sufficient strength that all typhoid germs may be killed before removing from the sick room. 8. Bury all excreta from typhoid patient. 9. Keep all flies from the sick room. 10. Write to your state board of health for literature upon the care and treatment of typhoid fever.—Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. Hens over three years old will not be producers in the winter. Unless they are exceptional they should be marketed. A turnip cut in half and suspended from the roof of the henhouse just out of reach of the hens will afford them diversion and exercise. In the matter of saving moisture in the soil a good many of us are a good deal like the rabbit in the fable. In the winter time he was always speaking of building a house next summer. When summer came and he was reminded of it, he answered: "Every bush is a house now." When a good shower comes we ought to get the moisture into the soil and keep it there. We have no assurance that we will have enough to ripen the crop, to put the soil in good condition for plowing, to leave the soil with a good moisture content for next spring. More can be done in the 36 hours following a rain than at any other time. If the soil is too dry, then save what little moisture is left. Remember that moisture can not pass up through loose soil.—W. C. Palmer, North Dakota. Disease germs will infect egg shells, hence to be sure of healthy chicks have healthy and germ-free surroundings for the laying flock. Whitewashing and spraying with a mixture of kerosene and carbolic acid will kill insects and disease germs in poultry houses and nest boxes. Bran should be moistened with a little milk and seasoned with salt and pepper. After some men have been handed a lemon they act as if they were trying to corner the vinegar market. A woman thinks more of her figure and complexion than a man does of everything he pays taxes on. Lamp chimneys rubbed with salt after washing have a surprising brilliancy. The woman who is too stout should avoid, above all things, a hard line at the bust. Most women who are acquiring too much flesh make the mistake of wearing high corsets and having their dresses fitted very tightly from shoulder to waist line. Others go to the other extreme and have loose corsets, very low in the bust, so that they resemble meal bags. These also wear rather tight waists, though not so snugly fitted as the other type, for they want to be comfortable and are usually content to sit around and grow fatter uncomplainingly. The medium corset is best, especially when the first evidence of a tendency to overplumpness is noticed. Then should the woman in question begin to study her lines far more assiduously than if she were too slender. The dressmaker takes care of the woman who is too thin, draping artfully to hide defects, but overplumpness is usually beyond her powers and she almost invariably tries to treat it by compression. 1. Remember that a mother should know, not guess. 2. The milk for the baby should have your first care. Just one feeding of impure milk may be sufficient to bring on an attack of diarrhoea or other grave symptoms. 3. When babies are teething rub their gums with cold water. It will often prove a great relief. 4. Begin early teaching the baby regular habits. Two or three months old is not too young—a certain time for the bath, after the bath, the food, then a nap. 5. Arrange a separate bed for the baby. It should be placed, when in use, in a spot protected from excessive light and strong drafts. 6. Keep in mind that it is not enough to love our babies. We must love understandingly.—Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. Brown, which is to be the color vogue of the coming year, appears in bags of striped antelope, in suede equipped with gold military cord handles, in brown leather with strap handles, in giraffe calf mottled in self tones on an Etruscan metal frame embedded with amber, and in snake-skin over an oxidized German silver frame faceted with topaz. These bags are lined with malale or amethyst colored suede, have capacious outer pockets containing a beveled mirror, comb, memorandum book and ivory tipped pencil, and their handles are attached to a silver bracelet which may be slipped over the wrist. John Milton Milne suggests that certain experiments made by him, showing that photographic effects are produced by some form of radiation from chalk and granite in the Isle of Wight and Cornwall—radiation which he thinks is probably of an electric nature—may possibly throw light upon differences of climate observed in places which are relatively near together. Future research, he thinks, may perhaps show that the wellbeing of living things on the surface of the earth is more dependent upon its radiations than has hitherto been supposed. You will find it easy to have your roast well-browned, yet not overdone, in fact, as rare as you please, if you add a little sugar to the salted water which you use to baste the roast with. This will serve to give it a rich brown color, delightful to the eye, and the taste of burnt sugar will be delectable to the taste as well. Before washing ebony brushes smear a little good vaseline over the backs. This prevents the ammonia or soda water in which they are washed from injuring the ebony. The vaseline should afterwards be carefully rubbed off and the backs polished with dry cloths. If you wish to bleach faded summer dresses allow a tablespoonful of chloride of lime to every quart of water required. Stir the article about in this water until all color has disappeared, then rinse thoroughly in clean water. Egg shampoo is made by beating the yolks of two eggs in two cupfuls of warm soft water and then adding one teaspoonful of borax. Rub this into the hair, washing it off gradually with more warm water and rinsing at least three times. To sweeten jars and cans which have contained onions or anything else of strong odor, wash the articles clean, then fill them with fresh garden earth, cover and let stand for twenty-four hours. Then wash and dry them. Argentina has established a meteorological station at an elevation of 4,000 feet. A new electrical clock is run easily renewed dry batteries, requiring no winding. The Transvaal is now producing considerably more than one-third of the world's gold. So-called Chinese glue is made by dissolving shellac in ten times its weight in ammonia.

It is for this reason we are asking reading this page to put out our lesson and help others, and if we can get a hug talking they will tell others. In our talks upon this important subject we have sought to impress upon our readers, both in business and the laity, the necessity first in accumulating the festive dollar, second in wisely investing it, and, thirdly in having that dollar come back to you with some increase. If our people would only stop to study the circuit of a dollar they would get a fine object lesson that would be a benefit. For instance, the fine art of financiering is to keep the dollar moving, but moving in a circle around among ourselves. In this way the dollar does not make wealth for one only, but for all. Buy only of the man that will in turn buy of you and your dollar comes back to you again. This is the secret of shrewd business acumen. The Negro needs a few lessons in the school of coin. The Colorado Statesman wants to give this instruction. Read these articles every week, you will find them intensely interesting if your eyes are open to the situation. The note of warning to the Negro is being sounded, the light is visible in the sky, but we fear that the very people who need our advice, whose very safety and progress is being endangered are totally oblivious to our warning and heed not our alarm or signal of disaster. It is for this reason we are asking the thoughtful people who are reading this page to put out our lessons to others. If it helps you it will help others, and if we can get a hundred live people to thinking and talking they will tell others. LAPSE OF LITERARY GENIUS. t in the sciences is generally regard Negro which will hasten his recognition the world at large, as an indivisible p Development in the sciences is generally regarded as one of the avenues to the Negro which will hasten his recognition by the people in general and the world at large, as an indivisible part of that social brotherhood whose higher intelligence dominates the affairs of men and breaks down the barriers which ignorance and prejudice erect to perpetuate the social separation of the races, elements and classes. Literature is the mirror in which the higher intelligence of people is reflected, and its numerous branches provide an almost limitless field for the demonstration of genius such as moves men to acknowledge the indestructible existence of a universal human brotherhood. We all remember that some years ago a number of our brighter literary lights were commanding the admiration and approbation of the nation's thought leaders and winning for themselves and their intellectual contemporaries that social recognition which no other qualifications had been able to achieve. When Paul Lawrence Dunbar's genius was recognized, it opened to him social and literary relations and associations which aroused to activity new influences of material benefit to his entire race, and Charles W. Chestnutt, the novelist, and other contemporaneous writers of note, added to the prestige which the Negro then began to enjoy. This was more than a passing fad, for it lived without abatement while the evidence of pure and undiminished genius was maintained. But our corps of brilliant passion painters was not rapidly augmented, as those of other races seem to be, and with the passing of these exceptional lights, that sympathetic affection which was knitting us into close relations with our fellows has suffered discernably. We still have Du Bois, the logician, and Kelley Miller, the essayist and critic, but they lack the romantic qualities which appealed to all classes so urgently through the works of our disciples of fiction. The need for greater literary devotion on the part of the Negro is apparent. The careful schooling and training and the patient and deliberate application, which develop latent genius in other men and women and among other races, ought to be more generally appreciated by those who are responsible for the instilling of educational ideals and aspirations in the minds and hearts of our Negro youth.

It is not my purpose to compare in general the worth of our public and of our private schools, or to lament that necessity of protest which has brought private schools into being. In the growth of institutions, as in the development of man, there is ever "something to cast off—something to become." The public school system has had its share of attendant defects which private schools have sought to lessen or to remedy. It is fair to say, however, that in the attempt to reach the ideal of democracy the public school takes precedence, not only of private schools, but of all other institutions. In the nature of its constituency, the public school provides opportunities of contact which within wise limits must ever be the basis of democratic society. To unite people, young or old, in human associations of any kind, depends upon the ability to overcome certain instinctive prejudices. We need to rise above the tendency to put people into classes according to superficial marks of feature or of color. We need to see the individual rather than the class. In the public schools throughout our land a social life based upon this lighter form of thinking is slowly but surely evolving. Inherited prejudices are laid aside, as character, ability, and the capacity for good comradeship come to the front, and win their rightful recognition. In a country in which the people is sovereign, it is important that the boys and girls who are to grow into sovereign power learn this great lesson of individual worth—that they cease to class one another according to race or religion, wealth or artificial power, that they be lifted into the larger thought of true neighborliness. Cliques have no place in a public school. Secret societies are excluded as a menace to the democratic ideal. The common tasks, the daily recreations, the mutual enjoyment of the columns of the school paper, the sympathetic appreciation of the virtues and the foibles of teachers, the pride of the school's standing in the community, these are the interests that unconsciously lift the boys and girls into a social life that binds them for all the years to come in the joy of a happy retrospect. The time is coming, I believe, when our boys and girls through the instruction of especially trained teachers, will better understand their relations to each other in the home and in society, and the foundations laid for a higher social order. I believe that inquiry would prove that cities which have adopted the co-educational plan would be able to present facts that would wipe away every vestige of ancient prejudice. I write this in full appreciation of the difficulties of case, and persons who have contracted it should not be married. Education of the masses is necessary before the plan can be properly carried out. Parents should be educated by members of the medical profession, and they in turn should educate their sons and daughters. The matter should be taken up in the public schools. The teachers should be instructed so they can impart their knowledge to the children under them. The plan of requiring medical certificates before marriage is not new. The question has interested the public for 4,000 years. The ancients had to confront it. Now there is a national association to fight the white plague. Recently a resolution was offered in congress with a view toward compelling men to secure clean bills of health before marriage. There is not a medical society in this country that has not discussed the matter, and it will not be very long before each state in the Union has a law compelling all persons to present a certificate. The boards of health in all large cities have considered the matter and many of them have passed resolutions advocating the health certificates. When only persons of sound health are married it will be one of the greatest steps that has ever been taken to stamp out contagious diseases. some adverse comment. On the other hand, they are decidedly a benefit. There is little doubt that they are the workingman's best friends. If it were not for the cat, what about the rat? I think Chicago would have to call upon the fabled "Piper." Rats and mice eat the workingman's hard-earned food to the value of thousands of dollars. If they were permitted to multiply undisturbed, imagine the value of the food this army of rodents would consume. Likewise they spread disease to a greater extent than do cats. Perhaps the Chinese plague question will throw some light on that point. Cats do not simply drive out rodents as do some of the advertised "rat catchers." They catch, kill and consume their prey. Why tax a necessity for which no adequate substitute has been found while the rich are permitted luxuries on which either a very small tax or none at all is levied? nor is it hard for any man who is used to work. I have passed two seasons in the harvest field, and the work on the boat is a snap compared to this. You are not compelled to "sleep with the cattle." Each man is provided with two blankets and a bunk or berth to sleep in. I sailed from Boston and landed in Liverpool. We were twelve days making the trip. I enjoyed it more than anything I had ever attempted. I passed nearly five months in Europe on very little money and visited England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden and returned from Copenhagen, Denmark, arriving in New York after eleven days on the water.

FLAGS IN WASHINGTON FLAGS IN WASHINGTON BANNERS OF ALL NATIONS TO BE SEEN THERE. At Legations of Civilized Nations, and Perhaps Some Others—Distinguished Persons Always Coming and Going. The people of Washington probably are better acquainted with the flags of nations than dwellers in any other American city. The legations of all civilized nations are here, and then perhaps some others. Distinguished persons or persons are always coming and going in the capital of the United States and courtesy calls for the display of many different dwellers in any other American city. The legations of all civilized nations are here, and then perhaps some others. Distinguished persons or personages are always coming and going in the capital of the United States and courtesy calls for the display of many different flags. The leading hotels keep flags of all nations and they make frequent display of flags representative of nations that were, before their absorption or extinction. And this brings to mind that in the flags of all nations which may be seen in Washington red is the most usual color. You will see it in nineteen national standards. You will see blue in the emblems of the United States, Russia, France, Great Britain, Holland, Equador, Sweden, Chile, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba. Yellow appears in the flags of Austria, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Persia, Sweden, Egypt, China and Venezuela. The yellowest flag is, of course, the United States quarantine flag. Black is to be seen in the flags of Germany, Belgium and China. The ensign of Samoa has or had black in it. Green appears in the flags of Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Italy and Persia. The merchant flag of Bulgaria has green in it and so, too, has the merchant flag of Austria-Hungary. The flags that are all red are the ensigns of Morocco and of Zanzibar and the merchant flag of Tunis. There is a larger ratio of red in the imperial flag of Japan, the ensign of Switzerland, the ensign of Turkey and the merchant flag of Great Britain than in the flags of other important nations. The flag with the largest ratio of white is that of Equador. It is appropriate in this connection to recall that the flag of the Confederated American colonies was a field of red with a red cross of St. George on a white ground in the upper staff corner, the Bunker Hill American flag was a blue field with a red cross of St. George on a white ground in the upper staff corner, the Rattlesnake flag was a yellow field with a coiled snake in black in the center, and the American Appeal to Reason flag was a white field with a green pine tree in the middle. STANLEY'S WAY TO CONGRESS Traveled on Steamboat as Long as Funds Lasted and Then Got Off. Representative A. O. Stanley of Kentucky was once a school teacher in the mountains of his native state. The employment was not entirely satisfactory to the young man and accordingly one day he decided to go out and see the world. Boarding a steamboat, he went direct to the captain and handed him what funds he had in his possession. He told the captain to let him stay aboard until his money was used up and then put him off. Reaching the town of Henderson, the captain went up to young Stanley and announced that this was his getting off place. "Your money's all gone," he said. "All right, captain," replied the youthful Kentuckian with spirit. "I'll get my luggage and go ashore. I am going to get ready to go to congress from here." Ten years later Stanley presented his credentials to the speaker of the house of representatives, as a member of congress from Henderson, Ky. Declined With Thanks A southern admirer of President Wilson wants to present him with a live alligator. He wrote to inquire if the president would accept the saurain. The White House is thanking its good fortune that he did not send the alligator first and write afterwards. He closed his letter with the phrase "awaiting your reply most anxiously." Precisely what he means is not known, but his anxiety over having a live alligator off his hands can be no greater than that of the White House at the prospect. The raw materials for pocketbooks and traveling bags was declined with thanks. Ambassador's Typewriter. There is a new piece of furniture at the German embassy in the shape of Baron Marschall von Bieberstein's typewriter. It is a secret typewriter, too, with a type that is different from all others in the world. It is locked up in the ambassador's desk, only to be brought out when there is confidential and important cipher correspondence to be typed, says the London Express. Then the ambassador sits down and types with the secret typewriter himself, not even entrusting the messages to his private secretary. LAMPS FEATURE OF BUILDING Soft. Glowing Bulbs at Pan-American Structure Are Objects of Great Interest. There are no lamps in Washington like those that shed their soft glow at the east entrance to to Pan-American building on 17th street. Very many persons overlook them because they are only a single feature of that dazzling white building and are encompassed by so many other beautiful things. From the sidewalk is a level space of pure white marble pave leading to a low flight of seven marble steps. At the sides of this wide and low stairway are the lamps, which are of gray green bronze, resting on square marble pedestals taller than the tallest man. Then the eye sees the base of the lamps, a lion's paw with prominent claws supporting each corner. Above this base is the strong circular stem of the lamp, and next above is the lamp proper, modeled after the fashion of a great lantern. The light is glass-inclosed, three panes high of frosted glass and twelve panes in circumference. Thus there are thirty-six of these panes of glass, each about the size of the old-fashioned window lights familiar in old-time houses and which are sometimes put in new houses for colonial or early republican effect. Around the base of each light are six small bronze heads of tigers. The top of each lamp is convex and reminds one of the top of a big, round tureen or chafing dish. Flanking the lamps are a marble balustrade and the sunken garden, with its rich green turf bordered by white marble coping and hedges of box. In the garden at each side of the approach are yellow graveled walks coped with short staircases which overcome the difference in level between that of the street and the lower garden. Also notable are four big old sycamore trees—three in the north garden and one in the south. In the southeast corner of the south garden is a sign, put there by the inaugural committee on the marking of historic sites, which reads: "Site of the residence of Gen. Van Ness, who married the daughter of Davy Burns, original owner of the grounds now occupied by the White House, treasury and state, war and navy departments." The sign stands close to a great old sycamore, the noon shadow of which falls across the marker. Perhaps the shade of that sycamore fell often on Gen. Van Ness and his wife, Marta Burns, and perhaps it was growing there when old Davy owned the land. SENATE BATHROOMS NO Showers, Plunges, X-Ray Machines, Upholstered Couches, and Other Luxuries Locked Up. The senate bathrooms are locked up. The showers, the plunges, the X-ray machines, the delicately-upholstered couches, the masseurs and other luxuries, for which Uncle Sam has been paying handsomely, are no more, so far as the senators are concerned. If a senator wants a bath he has to get it at home or hire a bath of the common or garden variety at the prevailing prices. One of the solemn questions before the Democratic caucus some days ago had to do about the baths. In secret, behind tightly closed doors, the matter was debated. It was before the caucus intermittently for several days. Finally it was decided that the Democratic party could not talk economy while senators were bathing extravagantly and luxuriantly at public expense. So it was decided the bathrooms should be closed. As a result, the magnificent marble establishment is in disuse. The chief messeur and his attendants are gone. It is estimated the bathrooms cost for operation and all something like $10,000 a year. Several thousand dollars were paid out to the field marshal of the masseurs and his subordinates. Besides, there was the cost of keeping up the establishment, a rather indefinite sum, but still considerable. The next thing that may have to go is the senate barber shop. It is under suspicion as an adjunct of the Democratic economy program. It was not a Democrat, but a Republican, who was really responsible for the downfall of the senate bathrooms. Senator Kenyon of Iowa began the war on it last con- Argues While Seated. An unique scene was enacted in the Supreme court room one day recently. Something that has never happened before in the history of the Supreme court, excepting, possibly in the case of Oliver P. Morton of Indiana and Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, occurred. P. H. Gilmore of Denver had an argument to make before the Supreme court. He was a stanch supporter of Blaine in the presidential campaign in 1884, and was overcome while making a stump speech, and never since that day has been able to make an address standing. He asked Chief Justice White for permission to make his argument while seated and it was granted. General Lee's Monument Gen. Robert E. Lee is to have a splendid memorial erected to his honor in Washington. The chief feature of the monument will be a statue of heroic size of the Confederate leader. This tribute has been made possible by the gift of a northern man Emerson McMillin, a New York banker who has offered $50,000 to pay for the statue. Admirers of General Lee will seek to secure a fine site for the memorial, the details of which are as yet not completed.

On Monday evening, June 23, at the residence of Mrs. Logan and sister, Mrs. Overman, Mr. Frank Maddison of Huston, Texas, claimed for his bride, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, the daughter of A. J. Fitzpatrick, one of Colorado's first settlers. The house was beautifully decorated in pink, white and green. Mrs. Lillian Jones, in her sweet est tones, sang the famous song, "Oh, Promise Me," while to strain of the Bridal Chorus, rendered from the harp of Prof. Anello Devino, the bridal party desecended the stairs. First came the ring bearer, little Miss Aurry Arnold, bearing the ring in a lily, followed by Miss Harriett Logan, the bride's maid, gowned in a beautiful Brussels net over pink silk, wearing a large Mary Garden hat to match her dress, and carrying a bouquet of pink roses. Then came the bride's sister, Mrs. S. I. Norris of Ogden, Utah, as the maid of honor wearing a gown of light blue crape de chene, trimmed in shadow lace, and gold trimmings, and carrying a bouquet of the beautiful flower of iris to match her gown. Then came Miss Thelma Thomas as the flower girl, strewing rose leaves in the bride's path. The bride was like a beautiful picture in simple gown of white satin, wearing a dutchess vell, and carrying a shower bouquet of bridal roses. She was met at the gates of gold and white by the groom and best man, Mr. Ralph Milligan. While the bride and groom stood just outside the gates, under a large floral bell, the Rev. Over of Zion Baptist church, stood just inside the gates with roses and palms and read the ceremony which made them man and wife. The couple received many valuable and beautiful presents and a beautiful floral offering from California, from the bride's father. After the ceremony, Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Overman served the guests with a dainty repast while the harpist and Mrs. Lillian Jones furnished songs and music for the evening. The bride is known as one of Colorado's sweetest soprano singers and will continue her studies at the Colorado Conservatory of Music. The bride and groom will be at home after July 1 at 2515 Curtis.

The stereopticon service last Sunday evening drew a large congregation. The parable of "The Good Shepherd" was rendered in ten magnificent views, while Sankey's "Ninety and nine" was also illustrated while being sung by sister Lillian Jones. The service was very touching. Tomarrow night the "Prodigal Son" will be illustrated by ten views. This is, perhaps the best known of the parables of Jesus and by use of the stereopticon can be made even more powerful in its application to life. "Throw out the Life Line" will be pictured in five views. No one should miss this service. A meeting of the members of Zion is called to take final action in securing title to its home on Odgen st., following which possession will be given by the other congregation. Moving day is now very close at hand. Every adult member is expected to be present Wednesday night. A very beautiful wedding ceremony, at the home of Sister Frances Logan, 2363 Odgen st., last Monday evening, united Mr. Frank S. Maddison and Miss Ida Katherine Fitzpatrick. The pastor officiated.

He had been an aid-de- camp to Frederick the Great, the ablest soldier of the day, and was thoroughly versed in the science of war. He had proposed to congress that he enter the service as a volunteer, with the understanding that congress should defray his expenses. If the revolt failed, or his services proved unsatisfactory, he was to receive nothing more; otherwise, he was to be refunded the in- come he had given up (about three thousand dol- lars a year) and properly remunerated His offer ‘was accepted, and Steuben reached Valley Forge on February 23, ‘The suffering of the troops and their lack of discipline and proper organization astonished Steuben greatly. “I have seen,” he wrote long afterward, “a regiment consisting of 30 men, and @ company of one corporal.... We had more commissarles and quartermasters at that time than all the armies of Europe together.” Hitherto five to elght thousand muskets had been lost yearly through discharged soldiers car rying them home as souvenirs. ‘The loss of bayonets was still greater. The American soldier, never having used this arm had no faith in {t, and never used it only to reat his beefsteak, and, indeed, often left It at home. With regard to thelr military discipline Steuben found no such thing existed In spite of jealousy on the part of some of the other officers, Steuben accomplished wonders ‘The next year not more than a score of muskets were lost instead of thousands. Steuben turned drill sergeant and introduced a discipline such as the troops had never known. Rising at three in the morning, he would drink a cup of coffee, smoke a pipe, and then ride to the parade ground for a hard day's labor. His enthusiasm proved contagious, and the whole camp fell to drilling. The army was greatly cheered in April by the news that France, long America’s secret ally, had at last decided openly to enter the lists in her favor. “I believe no event was ever received with more heartfelt joy,” wrote Washington. May 6 was set apart “for gratefully acknowledging the Divine Goodness, and celebrating the important event, which we owe to His benign interposition.” By Washington's orders the whole army paraded, salutes were fired from both artillery and small arms, and the troops cheered lustily for “the king of France,” “the friendly European power,” and “the American states.” Not less joyful to the waiting army was the news brought to Valley Forge on June § that the the British had evacuated Philadelphia. The long months of suffering and discouragement had at last borne fruit. By thelr patriotic devotion Washington and his men had held the enemy In check until better days dawned. By holding to- gether during those awful winter days they had preserved the revolution. A large part of the land upon which Washing- ton’s troops shivered, starved. and died, is owned today by the state of Pennsylvania, ang pious care 18 devoted to preserving the fortifications, the old bake ovens, and other relics of that mem orable winter. Tiles Mn ignore occa tress tc sat satns ce cal Merlam's Corner, Concord, Mass., gained lasting fame in the early days of the Revolution because, according to the inscription on a tablet erected there, “the British troops retreating from the old North bridge were here attacked in flank by the men of Con- cord and neighboring towns and driv- en under a hot fire to Charlestown.” the house in which Captain Lee (Light Horse Harry, the father of Robert EB. Lee) was staying, but Lee and his guard manned the doors and win- dows and drove the enemy off with loss. Lee was the son of Washington's famed “Lowland Beauty,” and the general was already deeply in- terested in the young man. For the deed of gal- lantry he obtained Lee’s promotion. Washington's own quarters were at first in a tent or marquee, which is at present In the Val- ley Forge museum in a good state of preservation, for Americans had not then forgotten how to make the things that would last. To Washington's worries during this awful win- ter was added the miserable “Conway cabal,” a plot to remove him in favor of Gates. Little won- der that strong man though he was, Washington despaired of earthly aid and turned to heaven for assistance. Isaac Potts was one day passing through a woods near headquarters when he heard a voice, and looking into a thicket discov- ered the general “on his knees in the act of devotion to the Ruler of the universe. At the moment when Friend Potts, concealed by the trees, came up, Washington was interceding for his beloved country... . He utterly disclaimed all ability of his own for this arduous conflict; he wept at the thought of that irretrievable ruin which his mistakes might bring on his country, and with the patriot’s pathos spreading the inter- ests of unborn millfons before the eyes of Eternal Mercy, he implored the aid of that arm which guides the starry host. As soon as the general had finished his devotions and had retired, Friend Potts returned to his house and threw himself into a chair by the side of his wife. “Isaac,” she said with tenderness, ‘thee seems agitated; what's the matter?” “Indeed, my dear,’ quoth he, ‘if I appear agt- tated ‘tis no more than what I am. | have seen this day what I shall never forget. Till now 1 have thought that a Christian and a soldier were characters incompatible; but if George Washing- ton be not a man of God, I am mistaken, and still more shall I be disappointed if God do not through him perform some great thing for this country.’” In all about three thousand men died in the camp, but the grave of only one is now known. Lieutenant John Waterman, a brigade commis- sary, died in April, ‘and some one erected a rough stone and cut on it the inscription: “J. W., 1778.” A marble shaft, 50 feet high, was erected, 11 years ago, by this grave. dedicated “To the Sol- dlers of Washington's Army Who Sleep at Valley Forge.” Dozens of other graves have been dis- covered, but no others have been Identified. Fearful as was the suffering at Valley Forge the time spent there proved fruitful, thanks, in large measure, to the arrival in camp of Freder- ick Augustus Henry Ferdinand von Steuben. The Ee ‘the other revolted provinces and forced the sur- render of Burgoyne at Saratoga. But in the mid- dle states, Lord Howe, alded by the lukewarm ness of the inhabitants of Pennsylvania, defeated ‘Washington at the Brandywine and firmly estab- Ushed himself in Philadelphia, the American metropolis and the rebel capital. ‘The continental congress fled to Lancaster and then to York. Washington hovered about Phila- delphia, fought the brilliant but indecisive battle ot Germantown, and late in December went into winter quarters in what, says the English histo- rian, Trevelyan, “bids fair to be the most famous ‘encampment in the world’s history.” Valley Forge, up the Schuylkill river about twenty miles from Philadelphia, strategically left little to be desired, for it enabled the Americans to restrict British raids and was, besides, well fitted for defense. : Many civilians insisted that the army ought not to go into winter quarters at all. The fugi- tive Pennsylvania assembly adopted a remon- strance to that effect. Harassed by a thousand cares and dangers, Washington tartly responded that “we have by a field return this day (Decem- ber 23, 1777) no less than 2,898 men now in camp unfit for duty because they are barefoot and oth- erwise naked. ... Numbers have been obliged, ‘and still are, to sit up all night by fires, instead of taking comfortable rest in a natural and common way,” because of a lack of blankets. | “I can assure these gentlemen that it is a much easier and less distressing thing to draw remon- strances in a comfortable room by @ good fire- side than to. occupy a cold, bleak hill and sleep under frost and snow without clothes and blankets.” ‘The troops were divided into squads of twelve, and to encourage the men Washington offered a reward of $12 to the squad in each regiment that finished a log hut for quarters in the quickest and most workmanlike manner. Inside the huts bunks were to be built, and the farmers living near the camp were ordered to thrash their wheat in order that the straw could be used for bedding. In building many of the huts a considerable hole was first dug, and dozens of these “hut holes” or “cellars,” can still be seen. Until a few years ago one of the more substantial huts atill remained, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire. The Daughters of the Revolution in 1905 constructed an excellent facsimile of a hut, over an old “hut hole,” and this reproduction undoubt- edly gives a fair idea of the structures. Some of the officers found quarters in the scat- tered farmhouses that stood within or near the encampment. Those who lived in houses without the lines pal} a heavy price for their comfort, for unceasing vigilance was required to guard against British attacks.

By the direction of congress inves- tigation was recently made regarding what are known as our four national songs. According to the report the oldest of these songs {s “Yankee Doodle.” It was sung 150 years ago and next to “Dixie” still is the most repular of our national melodies. Yhere are 16 different theorles as to how the song originated, but the most reliable information seems to point to the fact that the song was written by a British officer, brought to this coun- try and first played by British bands, thereafter being appropriated by the colonists. The first printed version of ‘the song is found in Walsh’s collection ‘of dance music, published in the year 1750. The most substantial song 1s “America,” written by Rev. Samuel F. Smith, at Andover, Mass., in February, 1882, but this song was cet to the mu- ilo of “God Save the King.” Tho “Star Spangled Banner,” which wae written by Francis Scott Key, while witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry from a British man of war on iwhich he was held prisoner, has in recent years been adopted as the na- tional anthem and is now played on all patriotic occasions.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street NET TO MATCH GOWNS WIDE AMOUNT OF ACCESSORIES FOR SUMMER DRESSES. Cowns of Net Made High and Low, Girdles and Sashes of Net, Long and Short Sleeved Gulmpes, Some Varieties. So enamored have women become of the various and interesting things that have been invented in net that they are getting together a wide amount of accessories for the summer made of this fabric. Just think for a moment what can be done. There are gowns of net, made high and low; there are girdles and Japanese sashes of net, there are long-sleeved and short-sleeved gulmpes, there are parasols lined with silk or made of several layers of white and colored net, there are peticorns and brassieres and fancy corset covers trimmed with chiffon roses. And this is not all There are small hats and large hats of black, white and colored tulle; there are Medici collars and Robes-pierre ones of net that is plain and net that is sprinkled with figures. There are net neck ruffs, there are huge roses and little violets and broad green leaves and pink moss rosebuds made of net to use as trimming on underwear, on room robes, on boudoir caps and on evening gowns. And the end is not yet. All any woman would have to do to enlarge her vision concerning the possibilities of net would be to make a tour through the shops. It was some time before those who sell caught the contagion, but when they did catch it, net garments and accessories sprang into being overnight, and everyone who had an idea immediately worked it out, and therefore the windows and the counters—to say nothing of the advertisements in the papers—were filled with ingenious possibilities in this one fabric. Where women once bought net or tulle by the yard they now buy it by the piece. They use it in a dozen ways to vary a gown, to add to its color scheme, to achieve some of those clever individual touches over which women have become enthusiastic since the cut-and-dried fashions in clothes have gone out. It is an interesting subject, this one of individuality, and it has arisen with much gusto in the last few months; whether the cry for it produced the supply or whether the women's apparel produced the talk is hard to tell. What matters the cause? We are in the stir of the movement and it is one to develop and encourage, although it may produce during a short life more mistakes than successes. Plumeless Hats Fashion Now. Featherless hats provided one of the features of an exhibition and conference held in London lately for the purpose of bringing together societies and individuals interested in the suppression of cruelty to animals. The exhibits were intended to prove that women's hats may be both beautiful and fashionable without the aid of feathers and plumes, the plucking of which, it is said, causes unnecessary pain to the birds. A hat with a large plume made of grasses, stiffened and colored, won general approval from fashion experts. Ribbons played a great part in the trimming. Other exhibits fashioned in the shapes of plumes and feathers proved most effective. Draped Skirts. Dressy tallored suits for summer made of line, ratine, eponge, volle, silk, etc., show the belts completed by sash ends of satin with tasseled or fringed ends. They also show draped skirts, which increase in favor. TOMMY'S Drawers and petticoat for a young girl of eight to ten years may both be made in nainsook, madapollam or longcloth.

A novel centerpiece is one which is braided in rickrack braid instead of the much-used coronation and soutache braids. Get a centerpiece that is not too close in pattern, as the lines must be far enough apart to conveniently lay the rickrack braid upon them without overlapping. When sewing the braid on to the centerpiece use the running stitch through the middle of the braid, taking care that only very short stitches show on the right side. Embroider French knots on each point of the braid, using a medium weight embroidery cotton. This is very effective with the French knots in Delft blue or a pretty green. If the pattern has extra lines like veins to a leaf, or dots, embroider these in the same color that you use for the French knots. The edge may be buttonholed in white an outline of the color on the inside edge, or it may be in one solid color. No. 17 in the braid is a pretty size. This makes a handsome centerpiece, and one that is entirely new. Dainty Summer Portiers Red bordered white toweling, held together with wide rick-rack braid, makes a pretty portiure to hang in a girl's room. lace; the neck and armholes are edged with narrow lace. Materials required for drawers: 1 yard 36 inches wide, $ \frac{3}{4} $ yard insertion, 1 yard lace. For the petticoat, $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ yard 36 inches wide, $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ yard lace 2 inches wide, $ 1 \frac{1}{4} $ yard insertion, $ 1 \frac{1}{4} $ yard narrow lace. Hat Receptacles. Make your own hatbox of pasteboard and cover it with wall paper or cretonne. Hinge the sides to the bottom of the box with baby ribbon run through eyelets. Make the top to hinge to one of the sides. This can be folded and carried in a trunk, and is more convenient than a regular hatbox. For travelling on the train make a gray summer silk bag to cover the hat when placed on the car rack. Silk sheds the dust and will not permit it to sift through. Close both ends of the bag with a drawstring, and it will not then be necessary to draw the hat out from one end only, which sometimes breaks fragile trimmings when the hat is thrust into the bag. Attractive Table Plant Break off the top leaves of a pineapple by gently working them from side to side until they come out quite clean. Now put two spoonfuls of coarse sand in the bottom of a glass jar, and fill with water. Place the pineapple top in it where it broke off, and always keep it a little under water. Be sure and keep in the light, and after a few weeks roots will sprout. As soon as they are strong enough, put in a pot, and then in a small jardiniere. With a little care a lovely evergreen table plant will spread out which will last for years. AN EGYPTIAN BRACELET By CORA JOHNSON. The collector of antique jewelry emptied the contents of her jewel casket on the table, and turned to her companion, saying: "Here is a bracelet which I am sure you will like. Examine it closely, for the workmanship is particularly beautiful and the large sapphire in the center almost flawless. It has an interesting history, for it once adorned the arm of Atossa, an Egyptian princess. "One day while while visited Cafro, I stopped at the bazar to make some purchases. Halting before a jeweler's booth I gazed at the display of antiques, rare examples of the ancient goldsmiths' craft. "Several rings appealed to me, but I could not quite make up my mind to buy. The jeweler, schooled through much dealing with tourists, realized this, and not caring to miss a sale, took a small ebony box from a shelf, which he unlocked and drew forth this bracelet, a necklace and several amulets. "When I eagerly reached for the bracelet he smiled and said: 'I knew that you could not resist the jewel of Atossa, and when I relate how it came into my possession it will increase in value tenfold. An ancestress of mine was the favorite companion of the princess, not because she was of noble birth, but because the erratic Atossa wanted the most beautiful maledens in the kingdom for her associates, and she was among those chosen. "Her name was Maroda and she played on the harp with wonderful skill. "The princess seldom joined the court at its revels, preferring to enjoy the beauties of the garden on the housetops, surrounded by her maidens. "When the Persians invaded Egypt and Cambyses occupied the royal palace with Pharaoh, Atossa pleaded with her father until he agreed that she should live in one section of the palace, seldom frequented by his household. Here her privacy would be respected and she could remain in retirement until the Persian guests departed. "One evening, when the princess and her maidens were on the house-tops enjoying the cool breezes of the night, a messenger summoned her to the king's presence. She was commanded to attire herself and her maidens in gorgeous raiment and appear before the guests. "Atossa refused to obey, and the infuriated king sent seven soldiers, each of whom bore a struggling maiden to the royal presence. Atossa knelt before her father, asking for pardon that she might return to her apartments." "The evil had been wrought, however, for Cambyses commanded Pharaoh to consent to his marriage with Atossa. Too late the Egyptian king realized his grave mistake and refused his consent, for the princess was little more than a child and Cambyses long past his youth. Then the Persian king ordered his guards to seize the princess to carry her to his ship. "As she left the banqueting hall she took the bracelet from her arm and threw it to Maroda. "Keep this for love of me," she said. "My ancestress never saw her again, and the bracelet has been in our possession ever since, but I need money and must sell it." "I purchased the bracelet." SALMON UP THE WILLAMETTE Tributary of the Columbia Is Well Stocked With Fish, According to Reports. Salmon are ascending the Upper Willamette in larger numbers than for years, says Lou Rushbun, deputy fish warden, who visited Oregon City recently and reported that schools of the fish were jumping up the ladders provided for them at Willamette Falls. During the winter corporations engaged in logging above are permitted to place gates across the upper end of the ladders so as to conserve the water supply, and owing to high water it was not until recently that the gates were removed this season, so the passage of the fish was delayed. Mr. Rathbun says that the salmon go upstream to where the McKenzie river is reached, as there is a state fish hatchery on the latter stream. Anglers are permitted to within 200 feet of Willamette Falls, so the traveling salmon are not disturbed gaining the upper river—Portland Oregonian. Wage Too Minimum. An Irish M. P. is telling a story of a man who complained to three friends, an Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman, that his servant was constantly breaking china. "What do you think I ought to do with her?" he asked plaintively. do with her! he asked politely. The practical Englishman said: 'Discharge her!' But as she was otherwise an excellent servant, her master was unwilling to do that. 'Then, take it out of her wages,' suggested the thrifty Scot. 'That wouldn't do much good,' was the reply, "for her wages are less than the amount of damage she does." 'Then raise her wages,' said the Irishman promptly.—Pearson's Weekly.
