"Jim Crow Or Be
Signs Are All Down J. C. B
Convince Secretary Mc
"Jim Crowism" Pre
Washington, D. C. Aug. 27. From an authentic source it has been learned that the Administration has decided to modify the segregation order issued a few months ago by the heads of various departments, and that President Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and other prominent officials have concluded that the "Jim Crowing" of Governmental employees does not reflect credit on the United States. The powers that be first have evidence of assuming a change in front by ordering the signs "For Colored Only," and "For White Only," taken down. These signs had been put over the entrance of toilets. Secretary McAdoo issued the order on August 15.
Two men are said to be chiefly responsible for the removal of the obnoxious signs—Bishop Alexander Walters and Register J. C. Napier. Both had long talks with Secretary McAdoo on the subject. Their arguments against the presence of "Jim Crow" signs in the Treasury Department evidently bore good fruit, as Secretary McAdoo ordered the signs taken down shortly after his talks with Messrs, Napier and Walters.
There is every reason to believe that the colored and white clarks will be permitted to work wherever they desire before many weeks have passed.
When seen by an Age representative, J. C. Napier, who is still acting as Register of the Treasury, admitted that he had had a lengthy talk with Secretary McAdoo and that a few days later the signs had been taken down.
"Mr. McAdoo was very courteous in his treatment to me," said Mr. Napier. "He gave instructions that we were not to be bothered by anyone. We talked for nearly an hour. I told him of the indignities the race had suffered by the policy adopted by the Administration to segregate the colored clerks, and sought to impress upon him the fallacy of making the clerks use separate toilets. When I left him Mr. McAdoo informed me that all that I had said would be given serious consider-
ation. Then he asked me to call and see him before I left Washington. It was a few days later that I learned the signs had been taken down, and I was very much elated."
Bishop Walters is elated over the victory, as the Administration has done much to embarras him since March 4. In speaking of his fight against "Jim Crowism," Bishop Walters said:
"Upon my return from the West I had a conference with a number of prominent Negroes of Washington, and it was decided that I should call on President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo and protest against the segregation of colored clerks in the employ of the Government and against the presence of "Jim Crow" signs. The impelling force that prompted me to call on President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo was my talk with the Washtonians and the Articles and cartoons appearing in The Age.
"I first visited Secretary McAdoo, accompanied by my friends, and we were cordially received. I told Mr McAdoo of the humiliation the Negroes of the country had been subjected to on account of the discriminating attitude of the Government, and he assured us that he was not in favor of discouraging and embarrassing the colored citizens. When we left, Secretary McAdoo promised to take up the matter at once.
"President Wilson was next visited, and he, too, assured us that he was not inclined to be disrespectful to the race and promised to confer with Secretary McAdoo and tue heads of other departments. This was on August 14. The next day 1 was informed that the signs were down. The removal of the "Jim Crow" signs is a great victory for the Negro press and Negroes of this country."—New York Age.

LONDON CROWDS GO
WILD OVER JACK
JOHNSON
(Chicago Tribune)
London, Aug. 25.—The man in the street showed tonight in an ememphatic manner that he does not share in the hostility to Jack Johnson, the American Negro pugilist. He regards the Negro as the victim of persecution which is due to color prejudice.
Notwithstanding the announcement that Johnson's appearance had been postponed, the Euston music hall and South London music hall, where he had been billed to appear, were densely crowded tonight, and there were great mobs outside of each.
Johnson's first turn was at the Euston. Here there was a great uproar from the moment the curtain went up. The audience was determined to have, and stood up and shouted for him.
They refused to listen to two comediennes who had refused to appear if Johnson did, but in consequence of the postponement of his appearance had agreed to go on. The audience drowned the efforts of these two young women with whistles, cat calls and hisses, and they were obliged to retire, and the whole show was held up.
Presently a roar of cheering outside the hall announced that something was happening. Johnson's car had arrived with the big Negro who was all smiles. The crowd yelled with delight at Johnson's appearance and climed all over the car in an effort to shake hands with him.
Johnson was almost smothered by the mob that got on all parts of the car, and the police had great difficulty in clearing a pathway for the pugilist to the entrance.
Johnson and his friends marched in under the leadership of Manager Loxer of the hall. The lights were down but the audience got a glimpse of Johnson and cheered frantically for several minutes. They also shouted words of encouragement to the pugilist a few dissentents vainly protesting by hissing.
Johnson stood smiling and bowing for several minutes. Then he left and tried to escape the crowd by taking a taxicab at another entrance. This was useless however, and the police had another job in ridding the car of those who were clinging to it. When at length the car was free and started hundreds ran alongside of it for distance.
There were similar scenes at the South London music hall. Here Johnson made a speech in which he said, among other things:
"My only crime is that I beat Jeffries." When he left there were scenes similar to those at his departure from Euston Hall.

NEWS FROM ESTES PARK
(By our special correspondent)
The tourist season is almost to its close, but owing to the fine weather conditions that are prevailing, the management of the various hotels viz., Stanley Park, Hupp, Elkhorn, etc. are considering with much seriousness the advisability of catering to their patrons a little longer than the time heretofore.
Quite a number of Denver and Colorado Springs folks have visited the different hotels, and have not only been day visitors but week-end. Their praises have been numerous with regards to the treatment they have received, and particularly the Stanley Hotel, from its unique picturesqueness, backed by the courteous treatment of the management (with its colored assistants and attendants) that it offers to its patrons for upwards of four years seems to be in the category of (Savoy, Kaiserhof, Albany or any other up-to-date hostelries in the state. It must be mentioned that the Stanley Hotel alone employs colored helps—cooks, waiters, bellmen, porters, etc.; and from the opinions freely expressed by the people, Mr. Lamborn the manager, has resolved to keep colored men in their various employments.
STANLEY HOTEL EMPLOYEES UNDER
THE ESCORT OF MESSRS CURTIS
HABRIS, AND ODDMAN BENNETT
VISITS LONG'S PEAK INN
Who can study the true cosmogony of nature? While this question is unanswerable, yet a party of fourteen of the employees of the Stanley Hotel, arrived at the conclusion after making a trip to Long's Peak Inn on Tuesday last under the escort of Messrs Curtis Harris and Oddman Bennett, that only man, through his inquisitiveness can unfold to the world some information of nature's wonder and her beauty. The following persons comprised the party:Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, Messrs Rand, Granger, Hogue, Hall, Collins, White, Martin, Cowden, Hewetson-Watson, Harris, and Oh, such an experience and privileged opportunity afforded them. It could be compared to almost the value of a lifetime. The Inn Stands on an elevation of nine thousand feet, and from this position a clear view of the great Long's Peak can be seen. The party was very cordially received by Mr. Mills, proprietor of the Inn who has been in the country nearly thirty years, and who has a regular staff of men providing information for visitors.
Examples of the wonderful performance of the Beaver in its work of felling some of the most gigantic trees, (outclassing the notable axeman comparatively) as well as the results were shown and on exhibition at the Inn—every article therein was made from the timbers that abound this vast region, and one was compelled to reason with ourself of the "wonders of creation" various other places of interest were visited on the trip.
RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES
Colored Odd Fellows of New Haven, Conn., have erected a $40.000 building.
At Salisbury, N. C., colored women have organized for the purpose of cleaning up that portion of the city occupied by members of their race. The mayor will aid them in their efforts.
A Home for incorrigible colored girls is to be erected in Missouri, the Missouri Legislature appropriating $230,000 for the building and equipment of the same, and $50,000 for its maintenance.
New Iberia, La.-The New Orleans Picayune reports that the selection of a site for the Southern University was practically decided recently after a thorough survey of various farms near the city by the state committee. The committee was unanimous in selection of the P. A. Landry plantation, located about two miles from the city.
Within a radius of ten miles from Baltimore, we are told, there are a good deal more than 100,000 Negroes, the largest number in the same area anywhere with the sing'e exception of Washington. The only northern cities (not counting either this city or Baltimore as such) having large Negro populations are New York, with 91,700, and Philadelphia with 84,450.
The fifteen Negro men now in charge of the elevators in the County Hospital at Chicago, noting that a Civil Service examination would be held for applicants desiring said positions, applied at the stated time and passed the examination satisfactorily. It is stated that the following day several white candidates appeared and requested that the examination passed successfully by the Negro men be set aside, as they were unable to be present. President McCormick, of the Board of County Commissioners, refused their request.
The first day's session of the National Negro Business league convention was devoted to a discussion of general merchandising' the development of insurance business among Negroes, the Negro inventor, and the forward to the country movement among the members of the race. Statistics were presented to show that the
NO 1
Negro is crowding into the large cities, to the detriment of his material advance and health. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York were mentioned as having an excess Negro population measured by the opportunities the colored man has in those cities.
Appeal was made to President Wilson by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the agitation looking to the segregation of the Negroes and whites employed in the government departments in Washington. Since the new administration came into power pressure has been brought to bear upon the executive and legislative branches of the government to bring about sucu a reform. The appeal to the president declares such an act would be not only a "gross injustice" to the Negro race but that it would limit the chances of the Negro for promotion and advancement, but that it would be cited as the excuse for "new racial outrages."
How a colored man connected with Barnum & Bailey's Circus protected a white woman traveling with the show from the viciousness of a white ruffian, and who consequently met death for defending the woman, is being told by white papers in various sections of the country. The Billbboard gives the following account of the incident:—When Barnum and Bailey's Circus was exhibiting at S'oux Falls this week, a white man was discovered peeking through a hole in the canvas of the ladies' dressing room. An employ of the circus who made the discovery took the intruder by the collar and hastened him to a region beyond the circus lot, and administered seasonable advice between kicks. The employee went by the name of "Mule," the only name he had so far as his associates and employers were concerned. He had been picked up a few weeks before, and his skin was as black as night. But "Mule" had a high sense of right and wrong, of purity, virtue and good citizenship. Late that night when the last loads were being hurried to the railroads Mule's dead body was found in the brush, where he had been at work pulling the pins which had held the top. While there were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, suspicion points to the big white ruffian who had peeked through the canvas.

HUERTA TO QUIT;
LIND SUCCESSFUL
TREVINOTO PRESIDENCY
Western. Newspaper meee sre sre
Washing‘on, D. C., Sept. 4—John
Lind has reported to President Wil-
son that he now regards his mission
as having been successfully accom-
plished. Mr. Line’s confidence is based
on the conviction that the one great
obstacle in the way of agreement be-
tween the United States and Mexico
has at last been removed. Direct and
positive assurence that General
Huerta will not be a candidate for the
prseldency of Mexico at the coming
election has, it is stated, been given
to the government of the United
States by Frederick Gamboa, minis-
ter for forelgn affairs.
Mr. Gamboa, who has acted as Gen-
eral Huerta’s spokesman in the nego-
tiations with the United States, gave
this assurance to Nelson O'Shaugh-
nessy, American charge d'affaires,
who has kept in constant touch with
the Mexican foreign office since Mr.
Lind left Mexico City for Vera Cruz.
It was given verbally, but it is re-
warded by Mr. O'Shaughnessy and Mr.
Lind as none the less valuable on that
account,
Huerta to Become Candidate.
Mexico City.—That General Huerta
intends to resign the presidency in fa-
for of General Geronimo Trevino, son-
in-law of former General Ord, U.S. A.,
and became a candidate at the Octo-
ber elections, is the statement made
by a well-known Mexican close to the
administration,
General Trevino is making his way
to the capital and no little effort has
been made to disguise the fact that
he has been summoned officially, Just
how the contemplated succession is to
be brought about had not been dis-
closed.
‘There are persistent rumors of im-
pending changes in the Cabinet, and
it is said that General Trevino is to
be made minister of foreign relations
in order legally to succeed to the
residener.’

Coaticook, Quebec, Sept. 4.—Harry

‘Travers Jerome, enjoyed three min-
utes of liberty and was then seized

way station.
Today a special board of inquiry
will sit in his case and by night he
may be tirust across the Vermont bor-
der as an undesirable alien.
Thaw’s lawyers have planned no

MARIE JACKSON, 14, KILLED.
Five Injured in Auto Crash on Pre-
cipice Near Lyons.
Longmont, Colo—Annie Marie Jack-
son, aged 14 years, daughter of Mrs.
Mary C. Pryor of Denver, was killed
and five other occupants of a big Stan-
ley steamer car, driving on the Estes
Park to Boulder line, were seriously
injured in an accident seven miles
northwest of Lyons. The machine
turned over when it was guided into
the mountain side after the brakes
refused to act and after a terrific
speed had been attained. The Jack-
son girl was caught under the heavy
car and crushed to instant death. The
other injured occupants were also
pinned under the car.
The injured are: Mrs. Mary C. Pry-
or, Denver, mother of the Jackson girl
who was killed, fractured collar bone
and three ribs broken; Mrs. Fred Bax-
trum of Estes Park, hand crushed;
the young son of Mrs. Baxtrum, shoul-
der crushed, arm may have to be am-
putated; A. H, Wolcott, driver of the
machine, hand crushed and kneecap
severely bruised; H. W. Hopkins

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
“Suwanee River’ is no more charac-
veristic of the Negro than “Dixie” is
typical of a Fiji Islander. “Old Black
Joe” depicts the life of the Negro be-
cause many of our folks believe in
deathbed visions. “Poor Old Ned” is
another favorite of ours, the first
verse running thus:
Lad down de shubble and de hoe,
Hang up de fiddle and de bow;
Dar’s no more work for poor old
Ned—
He's gone whah de good niggahs go.
Most white folk seem to think that
the banjo is a familiar instrument of
black folk of the south. It is used
mostly by what are known as the
roustabouts. The men of this type
usually wear felt hats with four
creases, which indicates “Work I will
not.” He sings such songs as “Rail-
road Bill,” while the banjo all but
talks as he sings, and plays “Can't
Get dr Letter From Down the Road.”
The jewsharp is used by the corn:
field men of color. The guitar be-
longs largely to the better class of Ne-
gro men. Hthiopian damsels are
somewhat like the Spanish maids—
they like soft music and love songs.
If you wish to hear plantation mel-
odies with variations sung with
natural harmony, go to the important
cities and towns of the south and
get in touch with those sons of Ham
who go about serenading nights. Of-
tentimes when Miss Sallie and her
suitor are sitting on the piazza in-

Fifty years ago virtually all negroes
were farm hands, and few owned
their own farms. Now, while agricul-
ture is still the predominant occupa-
tion, there are negroes in every line
of work, and 900,000 farms are oper-
ated by them. They own more land
than is embraced in the state of South
Carolina. Thirty thousand negroes
are engaged in business. They own
64 banks capitalized at $1,600,000. The
“Yearbook” says: “No other emanci-
pated people have made so great a
progress in so short a time. The Rus-
sian serfs were emancipated in 1861.
Fifty years after it was found that
14,000,000 of them had accumulated
about $500,000,000 worth of property,
or about $36 per capita, an average of
about $200 a family. Fifty years aft-
er their emancipation only 30 per cent.
of the Russian peasants were able to
read and write. After 50 years of
freedom the 10,000,000 negroes in the
United States have accumulated over
$700,000,000 worth of property, or
about $70 per capita, which is an ay-
erage of $350 per family. After 50
years of freedom 70 per cent. of them
haye some education in books.” When
such facts as these are considered, it
is evident that the negro is making
good progress.
‘The harvest season is the most
trying of the year. There is so much
to be done, so little time to do it in
and so few hands to accomplish it,
‘that we are often at our wits’ end.
Let us, however, have a care lest we
attempt too much and lest we put too
great a burden upon the wife and
daughter. The sanitariums are filled
with men and women who have brok-
en down from work and worry at
middle life. The utmost that we can
hope to gain 1s not worth such a
fearful sacrifice.

populations are New York, with 91,

The remarkable progress which the
Negro race has made in America since
its emancipation Is strikingly shown in
the fiftieth anniversary edition of the
“Negro Year Book.” While the Negro
race is known to have achieved many
notable things during its period of
freedom in America, the tabulated rec-
ord shown in the Year Book will prove
astonishing, even to the warmest
friends of the race. The chronicle of
attainment is really staggering when
it is realized that this race has been
under handicaps which probably have
no parallel {n modern history. In 1862
having practically nothing of its own
in the United States, with all but an
almost negligible portion of the race
held in bondage, the Negroes of the
country today own hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars’ worth of land, securi-
ties and other property. Negro farm-
ers in the south are cultivating about
42,000,000 acres of ground, of which
they own more than half. In the state
of North Carolina alone Negro realty
holdings are estimated to be worth
$29,982,328. The race owns church
property valued at $57,000,000, has
built or aided in the building of nu-
merous educational institutions for its
own uplifting and upbuilding, fosters
charities and fraternal organizations,
has {ts own financial institutions, has
produced notable éontributors to art,
music and letters and boasts a quota
of really great men who compare fa-
vorably with those produced by any
other race of the same stage of devel-
opment in the same period of time.
Statistics are offered to show that the
ratio of Negro criminals to the Negro
population is ape much greater than
that of the whifes, while it is less than
the proportion among numerous
classes of immigrants.
Appeal was made to President Wil-
son by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
against the agitation looking to the
segregation of the Negroes and whites
employed in the government depart-
ments in Washington. Since the new
administration came into power pres-
sure has been brought to bear upon
the executive and legislative branches
of the government to bring about such
areform. The appeal to the president
declares such an act would be not only
a “gross Injustice” to the Negro race,
but that it would be also “the most
hateful kind of discrimination.” Seg-
regation, it is contended in the _peti-
tion, not only would limit the chances
of the Negro for promotion and ad-
| vyancement, but that it would be cited
as the excuse for “new racial out
rages.”

appreciation. Aside from the program
‘Mayor Head called upon three differ-
‘ent members In the crowd to speak a
‘few words that the audience might
‘know of the gratitude of the negro
people for this library. This is to be
the second negro branch of the Louis-

According to an English parliamen

a preliminary opinion, holds “that the

may, in the exercise of its police pow:
ers, validly pass an ordinance for the
segregation of the white and colored
races without conflicting with the pro-
visions of the Constitution of the Uni.
ted’ States or the state of Maryland.”
‘The opinion, however, declares invalid
on technical grounds an ordinance ap-
proved by the mayor in 1911. An ordi-

—— ~
THE
Geert tate iat a) | aeiees
three departments, which include all
the forces that would come in con-
tact with an enemy in war time, have
used secret codes peculiar to each.
The state department has employed
several codes, the war department sev-
eral others, although chiefly one, the
Breeley code, and the navy depart-
ment others. They have points in
common, but they are nevertheless
distinct codes. The key to one would
not afford a translation of a message
written in another code.
The new interdepartmental code is
designed not only for use in war but
in such emergencies as would require
quick secret communication between
representatives of the various divi-
sions.
Code keys have a habit of getting
lost. It is to the interest of foreign
powers to know the secret language
a possible antagonist may speak. Any
multiplication of codes increases the
opportunities for valuable information
of this character to get lost or stolen.
For instance, the code now chiefly
used by the state department is about
four years old and was adopted chiefly
because the old code had become the
common property of several nations
across the water. When George von
Lengerke Meyer, formerly ambassador
to Russia, and more recently secretary
of the navy, was in St. Petersburg, a
diplomat visited him one day to offer
to him a little book. ‘The book had
mysteriously found its way to Bucha-
rest and had fallen, as such books have
a habit of falling, into the hands of a
foreign office. When Mr. Meyer saw
the book he at once recognized the
state department code key.
Some time later a letter came to the
American embassy in Berlin stating
that the (writer possessed a similar
key. He offered to sell it, suggesting
that possibly the Unsted States for-
eign office would not care to have its
secrets the common property of all
Europe. The embassy asked the writ-
er to submit a specimen page of the
book to prove his assertion. The spec-
imen was mailed to the embassy and
compared. There was no question of
its genuineness,
But instead of spending good Amer-
fean gold to retrieve the yolume, the
then ambassador informed the state
department that its code was no
longer secret. The man who owned
the key may have sold copies to every
foreign office in Europe. To buy one
copy would be no guaranty that the
secret was retrieved.
So it was discarded and the new
one adopted. The code now used is
made up of arbitrary combinations of
five letters each. Each of these arbi-
trary words, which are pronounceable
because of the alternation of conso-
nants and vowels, denotes another
word or phrase. There is just one way
of discovering what the code word
means and that is to look in the key,
the code dictionary.
Every department of the govern-
ment and even several of the bureaus
in various departments have their own
secret language. Codes are used for
two purposes, secrecy and economy
The code is regulated primarily by
the requirements of telegraph compa-
nies. By international agreement tel-
egraph companies send for the same
rate as is charged for a single word
any pronounceable combination, in any
one of eight languages, of five letters
by telegraph or ten letters by cable.
If the combination is unpronounceable
a charge is made for the transmission
of each letter.

IDLENESS IN SUMMER TIME.
One serious mistake has befallen our people that works disaster to their progress. It is the idea that they cannot or will not work steadily during the warm season, but must lay off, and in many cases actually quit a good job, because it is too hot to work! This one thing has caused as many doors of occupation to be closed against our people as anything else. It is a devilish idea, born of stupidity and fostered by laziness and unworthy of a people who must make every opportunity in the game of life count. The world's business must be carried on in the summer time as well as in the winter and the man or woman who wantonly refuses to work during the hot spell should be denied the privilege when the weather is more favorable.
The number of young Negroes sauntering along the streets or hanging about the club doors and poolrooms, exhibiting their Smart Alee clothes and foolish talk, and the young misses (and old ones, too, for that matter) who go parading the thoroughfares and shopping districts, spending their time and money drinking ice cream soda, while calls upon calls for help, and good wages, are offered them.
Let us be up and doing. Go to work, stay at work, and let your work show for something tangible. Summer is work time; winter is the time to rest.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Denver offers fine business opportunities along many lines. Our city is young yet and not built up like a great many of the older and larger municipalities. We have opportunity yet of training our people to patronize home industries, but there have been so few enterprises to point our people to that are controlled by members of our own race that they have of necessity turned to the people of other races to make their purchases. This habit when once formed will hold them and when we do open new enterprises it will be hard to sever them from an established custom. Along every line Denver offers inducements such as are seldom seen elsewhere, and now is the time to begin. Most of the colored visitors to our city this summer were inquiring: "Where are the colored business enterprises?" We had few to show them and they seemed surprised that here, in this progressive and intelligent city, we had so little to point to as a result of our experience and push.
The opportunity will not always linger; time waits for no man, and once the main chance is gone, it will not return again. If we cannot accomplish these things singly we can by combinations. These are the days when wealth is combined to accomplish things. Why cannot the men and women of Denver get together and do something?

Religion of Own for
Growing Youth
By Rev. C. W. Gilkey
Pastor Hyde Park Baptist Church, Chicago
Growing boys should be allowed to have a religion of their own kind and should not be forced to adopt the same sort as their mothers and sisters.
A masculine religion good
for all week as well as for Sunday is the type to be recommended for the boys. The attempt to furnish boys with "ready-made" religion will fail, and it is to be urged that they be permitted to develop their own individualities in Sunday school and church.
This is a period of transition in religion. We are discovering that religion is not ready-made. According to the old idea, a package of religion was handed out to each person and everyone was expected to find the same thing in his package. We see now that religion must be individual.
Women's religion will never be the same as men's, and the boy's religion will never be the same as the adult man's. A boy's religion is and should be an individual and unique thing. To demand the same religion of boys as of others is unreasonable.
Religion has certain appeals to boyhood. The boy is not interested in the life to come nor in the intellectual aspects of religion.
Between the ages of fifteen and eighteen years the boy is more of an idealist than he will ever be again. Then suddenly he becomes conscious of his social ties and the appeal in his case happens to be individual.
The boy demands a religion not for Sundays only, but also for the Monday morning lesson in school for the Saturday afternoon basket-ball game and for the meeting of the gang on Saturday night. The first step after the realization that the boy's religion is individual is to place the boys in separate classes under men teachers.
Religion has been made attractive to boys through associating it with the boys' interests, as in clubs. The great question now concerns what we have to show for the work of our boys' clubs. That is the question the Boy Scout movement is being asked to meet. Such clubs are really arms reaching out to get the boy, and the boy should see the body behind the arms.
We are failing to attach the boy to the church. The club groups should be turned into the midst of the church. The church should do more than develop muscle. It must make the boys allaround Christians. Boys must be shown how to make their religion manifest in hiking and scouting, but the boys' department must certainly be more than a gymnasium class.
Let the boys feel that they are helping to run the church and make them see that the church is interested in them. Work up a masculine religion. Make the boys' departments look and feel like going concerns.
Plenty of Good Paying Jobs on Farms
By S. M. Peters, Agricultural Agent

The farms are suffering for lack of laborers and it just makes me tired to look at these fellows loafing around the parks of New York when they might be earning good money in the
Plenty of Good Paying Jobs on Farms
By S. M. Peters, Agricultural Agent
New York
The farms are suffering for lack of laborers and it just makes me tired to look at these fellows loafing around the parks of New York when they might be earning good money in the country. Most of them are able-bodied men, who will tell you that they have hunted a job until they are worn out in body and in spirit.
Maybe they have, but their horizon is bounded by the two rivers about this island and Fourteenth street. Why don't they go on the farms? They wouldn't have to ask twice for work there.
No, I don't mean the farms in the west, but the farms near New York. What the farmers want is help to care for their crops, and they are willing and able to pay for it.
Many of these fellows loafing here would be glad to get jobs at $2 a day so long as they could stay in the city. Farm labor pays quite as well, if not better than that, besides offering other advantages.
Say a man gets $2 a day in the city and works twenty-six days in the month. That makes $52. Out of this he pays car fares, at least, which reduces his income somewhat. Deduct further his house or room rent and his food, and there isn't a whole lot left for clothing and savings, or spendings, whichever he may incline to. It will cost him at least $6 a week, or $26 a month, just to keep himself, leaving him $26 a month for other purposes.
Any farmer is willing to pay from $30 to $40 a month for a hand, besides board and lodging. You don't have to be a mathematician to figure out the advantage of working on a farm, financially, over working for $2 a day in the city. But there are other advantages as well.
The hired help eats with the farmer and his family, so there is no question about the quality of the food, and everybody knows that it is better than the average table of the laborer in the city.
Instead of working in the dust and dirt of the streets or in the confined air of a shop or factory the farm laborer is out in the open all the time, building up his breathing apparatus while his muscles are keeping in good shape.
He has plenty of milk, fresh vegetables galore and solid meat for his meals, instead of a cheese sandwich and a glass of beer. There is no stuffiness about the place where he sleeps, either, and he doesn't have to lie on the fire escape on hot nights to get enough air to keep him from suffocating.
You are stronger than you know. Only you can't get at your strength to use it as you want to. (No, this isn't an advertisement. It's a brief tale of what you might do but can't.)
You Are Stronger Than You Know
By E. J. RICE, Milwaukee, Wis.
If your body were an electrical machine these are some of the things it could do—that is, if all the heat and the muscular energy expended by an average man were converted into electrical units, it would show that he used up about two and one-half kilowatt hours of electrical energy in the course of a working day.
This amount of electricity may not seem great, but when one considers the things that can be done with it the result is a trifle startling.
With two and one-half hours of kilowatt electrical energy you could heat an electric flatiron for six hours, or run a sewing machine motor for 100 hours; heat an electric toaster for four hours, run a large fan for thirty-two hours, or warm a chafing dish for six hours and an electric curling iron for 100 hours.
All this is accomplished without voluntary effort and merely comes in the course of the day's work and does not represent the energy and endurance of a laboring man. Really it is an astounding revelation of the efficiency of the human machine.
Now, when one sees a fat man or an unusually large woman struggling along on a hot day and panting pathetically, he can realize a little all the electrical energy that is being generated and think of the many things to which it might be applied.
Though probably if the fat man and the large woman were aware of their ability as electric dynamos they would only wish they could use them to run a huge fan to keep them cool.

PIONEER CITIZEN AND CONTRACTOR DIES.
After an illness of six weeks, Mr. Howard Troutman, one of Denver's pioneer citizens and leading colored contractors passed away early Monday morning.
He was born in Paris, Bourbon county, Kentucky, April 1, 1856. In his early manhood he was married to Miss Susie Davenport. In 1880 he started west, settling first in Kansas. In '81 he arrived in Denver and was later joined by his wife and baby.
He began work at his trade in partnership with Mr. William Barnett and in a very short while became among Denver's leading contractors. Many of Denver's finest residences are monuments of their ability. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and at the time of his death was vice chancellor of Progressive Lodge No. 12.
Besides his widow, he leaves to mourn his loss, three daughters, Mrs. Harry Barber, Mrs. Morgan Jackson and Miss Geraldine Troutman, and five sons: James, Lynwood, Howard, Elmer and Thomas Troutman.
Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock from Zion Baptist church under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias.

Sunday is to be a great day in
Campbell, as it is to be our last quar-
terly meeting. Rev. Batson of Florida
and Rev. J. W. Braxton will be with
us all day. Let every Christian con-
tribute his part toward making it a
spiritual and financial success. The
members and friends with the pastor
of the city churches are expected at
3 p. m.
The pastor has been in Pueblo most
of the week on official business.
At one of the best official board meetings of the conference year last Monday evening, Brother Ed. Johnson was selected to devise ways and means for the collecting of the balance of the salary due the pastor. A request has been sent out by him and the board asking each member to make an effort to bring an extra half dollar Sunday for that purpose.
Remember, Dear Member, that the bishop and conference will expect to see your name on the Dollar Money Roll at conference. Don't disappoint them. Bring it tomorrow.
The Labor Day dinner, served in the wilderness at the church by the "Aid' was one of the real successes of the year. Mrs. L. O. Tucker managed it perfectly with the assistance of her splendid corps of ladies.
Miss Jessie Pierson served a fine dinner at her residence on Cleveland Place last Tuesday evening.
Full account of the wonderful entertainment at the People's will be given next week. Mrs. Blackwell is a giant in the service of her church. Sunday week the pastor will deliver his farewell sermon and report the year's work. Be on hand.

Those Ultra-Sensitive People
It is a great misfortune that so many people think it a mark of saintliness to be easily shocked, whereas the greatest saints of all are the people who are never shocked; they may be distressed; they may wish things different; but to be shocked is often nothing but a mark of vanity, a self-conscious desire that others should know how high one's standard, how sensitive one's conscience, is."—"Joyous Gard," by A. C. Benson.
Disillusionment
A woman had three caskets to give to a man. One day she read in his eyes that he could take but the nearest and lowest, and that instant arose from her heart the wailing cry, "The king is dead."—Will Levington Comfort.
Fit Boys for Business
When a boy undertakes to learn the grocery business in Prague, Bohemia, his employer demands from $20 to $60 a year from him and in return furnishes board and clothes. The lad must attend an advanced business school at least twice a week and on Sundays study an additional language.
When Labor Is Cheap.
When the trolley invaded Bombay the excavating was done by natives armed with grubbing hoes, and the dirt was carried away in bowls.
Daily Thought.
I think it takes a great deal from a woman's modesty going into public life; and modesty is her greatest charm.—Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.
Economical.
While in a lunch room one day five-year-old Beatrice ordered omelet, and later her guardian was surprised to see her eating the parsley, too. "Do you like parsley?" "No," answered Beatrice, "but I hate to see things wasted."

Regulations Prohibit Manufacture
of Denatured Alcohol.
Farmers Cannot Distill Their Own
Spirits Now, Because Product Must
Have Strength of Not Less
Than 90 Per Cent. Alcohol.
Washington,—Did congress play &
Joke on the American public when,
seven years ago, it enacted a law per-
mitting the manufacture, sale and use
of tax-free denatured alcohol? ‘This
product, which {t was then expected
the farmers would be able to make
from potatoes, waste grains, fruits or
the refuse from various crops, would
change the character of country life
completely, it was claimed. Glowing
accounts Were sent out over the coun-
try telling how denatured alcohol
would be used to light and heat the
farmer's home, cook the meals, fur-
nish power to churn the butter, run
the farm machinery, pump the water
and even take the place of gasoline as
a fuel for the motor car. As one man
expressed {t several ways ago, the
country for a while went “denatured
alcohol crazy” at the time the law
was passed.
Congress put the tax-free denatured
alcohol on the statute books, but
Americans are doing practically noth-
ing to develop the industrial alcohol
industry. Why have farmers not ta-
ken to the denatured alcohol idea?

A number of people have been asking
themselves this question for some
time, but it has remained for Senator
Harry Lane of Oregon to be the first
to step up and ask the question out
loud, having put his inquiries to ad:
ministration officials within the last
few days. Secretary. McAdoo, whose
department administers the law, is
much interested in Senator Lane's
plans to uncover the reason or rea-
sons for the law not working out sat-
isfactorily, and he has requested the
Oregonian to furnish him with a brief
on the subject.
Senator Lane believes that the law
and regulations which now govern the
making of denatured alcohol are
drawn so that {t is practically impos:
sible to make the product at a price
to compete with gasoline. He wants
changes made to benefit the farming
interests, The regulation which re:
stricts the daily output of an indus:
trial alcohol distillery to 100 gallons
is the principal trouble maker in the
starting of the industry in this coun:
try, because it has been demonstrated
that no factory can operate econom:
jeally on such a small output. Ex:
perts in both the agricultural and
treasury departments agree that the
100 gallons daily production restric:
tion makes the law as it now stands
somewhat of a farce. A system of in:
spection by government revenue offi
cers is prescribed, which is so costly
to the distiller that {t becomes impos
sible to manufacture industrial alco:
hol at a cost even to approach the
price of petroleum products.
Farmers cannot distill their own
denatured alcohol now, because the
product must have a strength of no!
Jes than ninety per cent. alcohol. Tc
manufacture alcohol of such strength
a stil costing many thousands of dol
lars is required, and department off
clals have yet to find a single farmer
who has been able to go to such a
large expense. Alcohol of fifty tc
sixty per cent. strength can be made
with a stil costing only a few dollars
such as almost any farmer can make
In encouraging the building up o'
an industrial alcohol industry in this
country, Senator Lane and the de
partment officials with whom he has
‘talked agree generally that the gov
‘ernment must guard against the mak
ing of “moonshine” whisky by un
scrupulous distillers, who might be
pretending to make denatured alco
hol. The Oregonfan thinks that {
should be as easy to regulate this
matter in the United States as it is Ir
Germany, where large amounts of po
tatoes and other agricultural product:
are turned into denatured alcohol.
Agricultural department officials ar¢
much interested {n the establishment
of an industrial alcohol industry {r
this country. According to Assistant
Secretary B. T. Galloway, one of the
Breates: uewus of agriculture today is
saving for the farmer the money
which is lost each year in the waste
of surplus or spoiled crops, which
would make industrial alcohol. Dur-
Ing the past year the price of potatoes
was so low in some parts of the coun-
try that it was not worth while to
dig the crops; and the product was al-
lowed to rot in the ground. Besides
‘potatoes, the waste from corn and
other grain crops, sugar cane and all
kinds of fruits and many other farm
products can be used in the manufac:
ture of industrial alcohol. The dena-
turing process 1s simply the addition
of ten per cent. of wood alcohol,
which is poison, and one-half of one
per cent. of benzine.
Approximately one and a half bil-
lion gallons of gasoline are used in
the country each year and Senator
Lane and administration officials do
not expect the petroleum products’ in-
terests to lend much encouragement
to the manufacturers of a compet-
ing fuel which 1s produced from an-
nual crops of the land. A large Amer-
ican company is known to be work-
ing on an alcohol engine for automo:
biles at the present time, and it 1s
thought that the invention will be far
in advance of any of the forelgn alco-
hol engines, and will perhaps revolu-
tlonize the motor industry. Alcohol
now costs three or four times as
much as gasoline, and it is generally
realized that the price must be
brought down to compete with the pe-
troleum product. This has been ac-
complished in Germany, where every-
thing possible has been done by the
government to encourage the indus
trial alcohol industry. The German
emperor 1s an industrial alcohol en-
thusiast, and a few years before the
death of King Edward made a person-
al demonstration for the English mon-
arch of alcohol lights, stoves and en-
gines of the latest German models.

the gubernatorial mansion during her
regime in Richmond, the fact that she
manages her farm, personally comes
as a decided surprise. In appearance,
also, Mrs. Swanson offers a decidedly
new version of a farmer. The estate
at Chatham was purchased some years
ago by Senator Swanson as a country
home and Mrs. Swanson very wisely
lived in it some time before she made
an attempt to remodel, thereby deter-
mining through practical experience
just the improvements and changes
most desirable. When she did con-
clude to start alterations she insisted
that the architect make his plans in
faithful accordance with her sugges-
Uons, and as a result she now has a
home which is a constant Joy to her
and the show place of the surrounding
country.
‘The old-fashioned garden with its
quaint box borders was left intact and
the rose garden with its hundrede of
bushes represents the embodiment of
one of Mrs. Swanson’s chief hobbies.
A view of her roses in spring is con-
sidered well worth the trip from
Lynchburg, according to some of her
friends who make the journey just to
view the glory of one tree rose alone.
This rose is a grafted variety very
popular in England called the “Frau
Karl Druscki.” It is paper white with
blossoms that expand to the size of
saucers. Then, too, there are some-

that in these days of up-to-date jour.
nalism, it is unnecessary.
Queen Victoria took a keen interest
in the “Circular” and it was her rule,
when her majesty was in residence
at Balmoral, to send a special copy
to one of the Aberdeen papers every
evening. Furthermore, although an
official court newsman was responsible
for the publication of the “Circular,”
the late queen herself’ on special oc:
casions contributed to its pages.
“Probably the most remarkable
“Court Circular” ever sent out was is:
sued one Jay in 1883, when John
Brown, her majesty’s faithful highland
attendant, died. It contained the fol-
lowing lines:
“An honest, faithful, and devoted
follower, a trustworthy, discreet, and
straightforward man, possessed of
strong sense, he filled a position of
great and anxious responsibility, the

say nothing of the countless other
flowers that give their best bloom to
pay for their care.
Flowers are only a small part of the
production of this up-to-date farm, for
Mrs. Swanson does nothing half-heart
ed or indifferently. Her farm keeps
the table the year around. Hach week
a box arrives at the senator's city
home, the contents of which for qual-
ity go ahead of anything the city mar-
kets cap provide. Mrs, Swanson
raises and cures her own hams, her
dairy furnishes her table with dell
cious butter and her poultry yard sup-
plies chickens and eggs such as are
only enjoyed by few in these days of
cold storage and refrigerator cars.
Fruits and fresh vegetables of every
kind in abundance are carefully and
scientifically cultivated, for she reads
all of the works that bear upon farm
management and cultivation. In or-
der ot facilitate her correspondence to
ther farm people she has recently
learned to operate a typewriter, and
now all of her letters of instruction
are written on this machine, She also
keeps a large herd of cattle, and not
a single field is plowed or a bit of
seed planted except by her orders and
under her minute instruction, She has
made an exhaustive study of fertili-
zers and soll cultivation, and dis-
courses upon these subjects as learn
edly as any sunburned, horny-handed
farmer who has spent a lifetime work-
ing in his flelds.
Mrs, Swanson puts enthusiasm and
energy into everything she under-
takes. She enjoys society, delights in
travel, enthuses over her new city
home, but adores her farm, declaring
that {s the only way to live. She asks
nothing better for nine months of the
year than to be allowed to stay there
But wita all her love of country life
and quiet she is too entirely devoted
to her husband’s welfare and comfort
to leave him to the heat and solitude
of a summer alone in the city, so the
Darby and Joan existence they lead
is constantly spent together despite
the allurements of the country and the
exactions of public duty.
Mrs. Swanson is an artist, as the
dainty vignettes about her home tes-
tify, and also a famous housekeeper
of the old-fashioned type, giving per-
sonal supervision to every detail of
both establishments,

duties of which he performed with
such constant and increasing care as
to secure for himself the real friend-
ship of the queen. To her majesty the
loss is irreparable, and the death of
this truly faithful and devoted ser-
vant has been a grievous shock to
the queen.”
Nor was this tribute surprising, con-
‘sidering the high regard Queen Vic-
toria entertained for the stalwart
Highlander, whose fidelity to his du-
ties was such as to earn not only the
entire confidence, but the real Yriend-
ship of the queen. Once her majesty
wrote of him: “He was always re-
spectful, never servile; always useful,
never obtrusive; usually silent, but
when he did speak he was blunt and
direct.”
Nearly every event of state impor-
tance is notified in the “Court Circu-
lar.” Every time the king receives a
prime minister or any officer of state
the fact is duly chronicled, gnd in the
aerehgary wiesenial inlet cares
audience with ambassadors or gover-
nors, or where he performs any cere-
mony or act, the public is informed of
it through the Court Newsman.
An interesting event in the history
of the “Court Circular” was that
which occurred on November 15, 1911,
when the whole paper was dispatched
by wireless telegraphy. At that time
the king and queen were going to at-
tend the great coronation Durbar, and
the customary account of the court do-
ings was transmitted by wireless from
Gibraltar,
It was a week later that the “Court
Circular” described for the first time
the king and queen consort of these
realms as “their imperial majesties.”
This arose, of course, from the fact
that it was only when the king-em-
peror and the queen-empress reached
Aden that the full imperial style and
the title could be accorded them as
such.

They have been friends for years, hav-
ing known each other before they
went to college. The disposition of
both families is to be friendly, al-
though it is admitted that each would
like to have its favorite “win.”
This is the way Mrs. Ewing dis
cussed the story:
“Thus far I have heard of no en-
gagement, but I know that my son
and Mr. Stump, his friend, are fond of
Miss Cleveland. I shall see Gordon
soon, when/Mr. Ewing and myself will
go to Biddeford Pool, Me. and we
shall know more about these rumors.
‘If he is thinking about marrying, 1
should like to spank him, for he’s only
a boy.”
Mrs. Stump, not so communicative,
said: “It is true that my son has
been a guest at a house party given by
Miss Cleveland, but he is now at Bass
Rocks, Mass., and I have not been told
of any engagement concerning him.”
According to a story related in Bal
timore, Mr, Ewing was a guest of Paul
Cleveland at Newport last spring. Miss
Cleveland was a gMest also and it wat
this visit which brought on the love
affair which now involves Mr. Stump
and Miss Cleveland.

Picnics and mass meetings marked Labor Day in many Colorado cities. Five thousand people attended Fort Lupton's "Tomato Day" celebration. Three accidents occurred at Boulder in connection with the Labor Day celebration. Five were hurt. Nearly one hundred members of the Clam and Lobster club enjoyed a clam bake at Hoeckel's ranch near Denver. Mrs. Fletcher Campbell, wife of a ranchman of Hebron, died at her home there as a result of a stroke of apoplexy. Fish and Game Warden J. L. Gray of Fort Collins received 25,000 rainbow trout for the Cache la Poudre river and tributary streams. Suffering from an attack of heart failure due to the high altitude, the Rev. E. L. Jarvis was rushed out of Colorado Springs to Kansas.
Mrs. Adelia S. Barnard was arrested a third time at Steamboat Springs on a charge of contempt of court. She was released under $500 bonds. Colorado Methodist Episcopal ministers celebrated the semi-centennial of the Colorado annual conference in a three-day session at Boulder. A possible beer famine in southern Colorado is forecast by the strike of twenty-six men employed by the Pellis Brewing & Ice Company of Trinidad. Leo Mittendorf, 45, committed suicide at his homestead on Deep creek near Steamboat Springs, because he was arrested on complaint of his wife for non-support. Old setters of Morgan county are planning to organize a Pioneers' association here on September 11, which will be Pioneer and Aviation day at the Morgan county fair.
Seventy-five cars of peaches from the Palisade and other districts of the Western slope of Colorado are passing through Denver daily en route to Eastern markets.
The first locomotive to run on the new extension of the Moffat road to Craig pulled out of Steamboat Springs Sept. 1. It was able to run only a mile on the new tracks just laid.
In spite of the fact that she is sixty-five years old, "Grandma" Annie Boal of Kersey started on a trip to England to pay a visit to her son whom she has not seen for twenty-eight years.
A party of tourists arrived at Craig from Jacksonville, Fla., coming the entire distance by automobile. They will spend a month or more fishing and hunting before returning South.
Joseph Luys, homesteader, residing thirty-five miles southeast of Akron, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Samuel Cawthra, neighbor, charging him with assault with intent to kill.
A crusade against slit skirts, diaphanous gowns and other extreme, immodest and suggestive styles in women's dress, has been started by the executive board of the Colorado Mothers' Congress.
Organized labor made a splendid showing at Colorado Springs on Labor Day. The turnout was the opening feature. There was a marathon in the afternoon and a big show in the Garden of the Gods at night.
Sixty persons were baptized in Rocky Mountain lake, situated in one of Denver's public parks, during the conference of the Seventh Day Adventists of Colorado, which closed after ten days of revival services.
Wyoming fish and game officials have taken drastic steps recently to prevent Colorado fishermen from entering that state to fish and return to Colorado with their catch and as a result several Denver men have been arrested and fined.
Declaring that labor at last had come into its own with the national government at Washington, Congressman Edward Keating at Pueblo addressed 3,000 people, the occasion being the annual Labor Day picnic of the Trades Assembly.
Lewis B. Ames, a Colorado pioneer and for fifteen years a justice of the peace at Littleton, died at his ranch a half mile south of Littleton at the age of eighty-seven years. He had resided in Colorado since June 3, 1860, where he came from Decorah, Iowa, lured by the gold excitement.

HEAD OF MINT SWORN IN GOVERNORS GO HOME
ANNEAR GETS OFFICIAL CHARGE
OF $498,000,000.
Frank Wheeler Takes Oath as Assayer at Denver Mint—Accountants Busy Checking Gold Bars.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.—Thomas Annear, former state Senator took his oath of office and assumed his duties as superintendent of the United States mint in Denver. Former Superintendent Frank Downer received notification from Washington that his term had officially expired and the keys, with money and bullion, valued at $498,000,000, were officially turned over to Superintendent Annear. Frank Wheeler, appointed assayer of the mint by President Wilson took his oath of office Wheeler, whose home is at Platteville, is a practical assayer.
The accountants are busy checking the gold bars which are worth $32,000,000. This work will take several days and after it is completed the $466,000,000 in gold and silver coins will be checked.
Bountiful Crops in Moffat County.
Craig.—Despite the dry season and dire predictions of crop failure, the quantity of grain harvested in this vicinity up to date is very little short of last year. While neither the dry or irrigated farmers have the bumper crops of last year, there was a greatly increased acreage and more small grain than at any other time in the history of northwestern Colorado. The potato crop is the best in many years and several train loads will be shipped as soon as the Denver & Salt Lake road arrives. Hay will not be as plentiful as last year and it already commands a high price, the stockmen looking for a hard winter.
Horse Tramples Women and Children
Fowler.—Women and children were trampled under the feet of a frightened horse on the main street of Fowler during the potato race, one of the entertainment features of the Fowler farmers' fair. Three little babies in coaches were tossed out beneath the hoofs of the animal, yet not one of them suffered a scratch. Two women were the only injured, Mrs. Hattie Springer of Pueblo and Mrs. J. H. Johnson, wife of a farmer living near Fowler. The latter was the most seriously injured, being kicked in the right thigh. Mrs. Springer sustained sprained wrists.
Police Aid Trinidad Miners.
Trinidad—Mayor Dunleavy called upon the chief of police to furnish protection to thirty-five miners reported discharged from the Delaqua mine, seven miles from Ludlow. The men, who say they were driven from the camp at the point of guns and herded for five hours in Ludlow station, took refuge in the miners' headquarters, which was immediately surrounded by Baldwin-Felts detectives.
Train Hits Skunk.
Palisade.—A collision between Rio Grande passenger No. 1 and a polecat, just west of here, almost tied up the entire railroad system. The train stopped. When the skunk was discovered there was little left of him to be seen—windows were shut, tight and the throttle was thrown wide open.
Four Generations at Birthday Party.
Rocky Ford.—Capt. Samuel Robinson, eight-seven years old, and Mrs. Samuel Robinson, eighty-four years old, celebrated Robinson's birthday. Four generations were represented, including eight children, two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Fatally Hurt in Mad Auto Ride.
Pueblo.—Emil Pierson, a steel works employe, was fatally injured when a big touring car in which he was riding at the rate of a mile a minute crashed through the Pine street bridge over the Bessomer ditch, a big irrigating canal.
Greeleyite Grows Pineapple as Joke.
Greeley.—City Clerk W. A. Hotchkiss feasted on a home-grown pineapple which he raised in his front yard. He tried pineapple raising merely as a joke and was surprised when he finally got results.
Cuts Throat With Razor.
Pitkin. After telling his family and friends that his melancholy disposition was the worst enemy that he had, Albert Brown went to his home here and cut his throat and the arteries of both wrists with a razor.
Risked Life to Save Twin Babies.
Pierce—Risking his life in a fire which destroyed a small house occupied by Manuel Pergilo, beet tender, Benton Marsh saved the twin daughters of the family, who were asleep in the upper part of the structure.
Joking About Indians: Kills Self.
Soking About Indians, Kris Self.
Longmont—William Brophy, thirty-four years old, for seven years an employe of the sugar factory here, was shot and instantly killed while he was demonstrating to his cousin, William Cavanaugh, who three hours before had arrived from Ireland, how to protect himself from the "wild Indians of Colorado." The shooting, in the opinion of Sheriff S. D. Buster, Deputy District Attorney Marting and Coroner Kelson of Boulder was entirely accidental and no one is under arrest.
DECLARE THAT DENVER IS PROPER CENTER OF WEST.
The "City Is the Best Place for an Army Post," Says Governor McGovern, of Wisconsin.
Denver.—Governors of many states who were in attendance on the governors' conference at Colorado Springs and later were entertained in Denver, departed for their homes, and each state head had nothing but praise for Colorado and Denver.
Governors W. H. Mann of Virginia, W. T. Haines of Maine, O. B. Colquitt of Texas, Francis E. McGovern of Wisconsin and Emmet O'Neal of Alabama, were among the last of the executives to depart from Denver. And each governor said that next to his own state he would rather live in Colorado than any other.
"Denver is one of the most progressive cities I have ever visited," declared Governor McGovern. He found no one who would dispute him as he looked about the lobby of the hotel, so he refused to argue the matter.
"It is so placed," he continued, "that it cannot help but grow steadily as long as this world turns around as it has a habit of doing. One thing which I would like to see Denver have is a large army post at Fort Logan. And I cannot see how the Department of War can do otherwise than tend to this matter in the right way.
"Denver is the logical geographical, climatic and commercial center of the west, and it should be given great military support. War or no war, a city such as this gains a great deal by having a military significance and the government could find no better spot in the west in which to place an extensive headquarters than here. And I think that it would be a matter of economy, too, to place soldiers here for provisions are very reasonable all over Colorado.
"Yes, sah," said Governor Mann of Virginia, "this is a city that you all have built. It reminds me of the cities of the south, it is so comfortable to look upon and its people are so hospitable. All the governors are pleased with their cordial welcome both here and at Colorado Springs." Governor Ammons had but one setback in the entertainment of the governors. He threatened at the beginning of the conference to marry Governor McGovern to a Colorado girl. Governor McGovern is known among his fellow executives as the "bachelor governor," but he left this state still a bachelor.
Inheritance Tax Will Pay Appropriations.
Denver.—"We will collect enough money in inheritance tax to pay all the appropriations made by the last General Assembly." This is the prediction made by Lester Hubbard, chief inheritance tax appraiser, who returned from a trip through southern Colorado. "Information that we have leads us to believe that the tax on the estate of John A. Thatchier, the Pueblo banker, will be between $200,000 and $400,000," said Hubbard. "It is the general opinion of those acquainted with the condition of the estate that it will inventory at least $6,000,000. Papers of administration will be taken out in a few weeks." On his trip Hubbard compromised a dispute between the state department and the executors of the estate of George Swink, the Rocky Ford former state senator and prominent irrigation promoter, who died September 24, 1910. Under the agreement the estate will pay a tax of $5,015.97 and about $500 interest. The dispute was caused by the fact that the bulk of the estate consisted of stock in a partially completed irrigation district. The executors, who were ordered in the will to complete the project, at first asserted that no inheritance tax could be collected. After two years of dispute they have agreed to a $200,000 assessment of the estate.
Must Pay $3,000 for Timber.
Denver.—Lumber worth $3,000 has been cut without permission from the state lands in Routt county by Elmer Garner, who was allowed a low rate to cut timber from a quarter section there, according to a report of a deputy of Attorney General Fred Farrar. An investigation showed that the man had 300,000 feet of coal props and 15,000 ties on hand. The lumber was seized by timber wardens. Garner was given a short period in which to pay the state $3,000, which he agreed to do.
Must Have License to Fish.
Denver.—Frank Bouck, first assistant attorney general, upholds the opinion of Fish Commissioner Shinn that owners of private lakes and ponds must obtain a license before they can fish on their own property.
Land Corporations Asked to Report.
Denver.—Land corporations of the state, operating under the Carey act, have been asked by Register Volney Hoggatt of the state land board to give immediate information regarding the work they have been doing. The answers to the letters sent out by Register Hoggatt are expected to be in his office by Nov. 1. Some of the questions asked are: "How many miles of ditch have been constructed?" "What is the number of persons that have filed on your land?"

FOR those who wish to observe a period of mourning and are confronted by objections to all-black apparel, or find it not practical for daily wear there is now the alternative of all-white or white and black in combination. In the smartest shops and at the leading costumers one may order mourning in either black or white. Crepe, which is the recognized insignia of mourning, has been used with wonderful effectiveness, especially in millinery. Black crape hats and veils, for first mourning, have been duplicated exactly in white crape. This is an exquisite fabric and since the designers began using it they have achieved some new and wonderfully beautiful effects not possible in other materials.
It is not merely a whim of fashion that has brought about the adoption of the new "white mourning." It is a change of sentiment with regard to the meaning of mourning apparel. One need not think very long to conclude that white mourning is meeting a demand for something more than merely "the trappings and the suits of woe." It is less oppressive than black; in fact it is not at all somber. Those who are in mourning will not be obliged in the future to confine themselves to black or to white on even to combinations of these; for mourning fabrics are woven in gray and in certain lavender shades. But crape is most effective in black or white.
Tailored suits of white serge made up with exquisite neatness and faultlessly cut are favorites for mourning. Worn with either black or white hats and vells they cannot be excelled for elegance. A fad of the hour is to
Simple Methods, Persevered In, Will Speedily Do Away With Objectionable Feature.
One of the most objectionable features is the double chin. This can be remedied in one month by the following exercise: First soap the under part of the chin with pure soap, and plenty of it. Then throw the head back till the face looks up to the ceiling. Then press firmly the under chin with the thumbs while at the same time make the lower chin move back and forth against the thumbs. It will take some practice, but you will soon find the way to cause the movement of the fat part of the chin. This will strengthen all the muscles and at the same time it will eliminate the fatty cells. The soap aids in this by cutting the fat from the skin.
The exercise can be endured and even enjoyed if you have a graphophone and take the exercise by the music. I set my graphophone out in the rear garden and take my physical culture out in the open air. Besides the exercises I had in the college classes I have discovered many new ones. Wherever there is excess fat just keep on till you find a motion that will cause a movement of that fat, then work—Health.
Red-Heeled Slippers.
It was only natural that the incoming of effective little frocks should have brought with them the high-heeled slippers of the Louis XVI. period, with their immense buckles in front and their slashes of red behind. There is a new kind of heel, too, which is used on these black slippers, and it makes the foot look about three inches shorter than it is.
One would say that it was impossible to walk in them if one had not witnessed the ability of women to get along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish heels that put them on stilts. We have learned during the last three years that there are few limitations to what women can do in the name of fashion; if ever these Louis heels are adopted by the majority of American shoemakers, women will wear them, and not only turkey trot in them, which is all very well, but they will go shopping in them, which is all very wrong.
For cleaning white kid shoes, get a clean white cloth, soak it in gasoline, then dip the cloth in powdered prepared chalk. Rub until all dirt is removed, then allow shoes to dry in the air, but not in the sun. Always use the chalk and gasoline together, as gasoline alone will in time cause the kid to turn yellow. Do this in a cool place away from heat or artificial light and not in the hot sun.
wear black low shoes with white hose or high white shoes with their tailored gowns.
For white mourning veils all made of chiffon or Brussels net or other velling materials bordered with crape. These bordered veils are often draped on the hats in such a way as to provide their only trimming. They are nearly always thrown back off the face or draped to hang from the back of the shape which is almost invariably made entirely of crape.
One of the new, elongated shapes, with medium wide rolling brim, is shown here covered and trimmed with white crape. The veil of chiffon, bordered with crape, is arranged to be worn either over or off the face.
There are almost no trimmings on the most elegant mourning hats except those that are made of crape. Roses and lilies are favorites and are wonderfully beautiful.
A new shape suggesting a poke bonnet is pictured here, made of black crape except for the facing, which is pure white in a rich soft quality of the material. This white facing redeems the hat from somberness and makes it a brilliant piece of millinery. Besides, white next the face is most becoming to every woman.
The coarse-meshed silk nets, bordered with bands of crape three inches wide, are having a strong vogue and are in the majority among fashionable veils. Nevertheless they are less becoming than chiffon. But veils are so seldom worn over the face that this item may be ignored. Nets are very strong and durable.

Back to Japan.
Chinese fashions, especially the mandarin lines, proved unbecoming, in that they departed from the figure's general beauty of lines. But designers have stayed in the orient, merely moving across the strip of water and centering their thoughts on Japan. The clinging draperies, the wide belt with its butterfly bows and its draped and hanging panels, and the kimono line for bodices and wraps are to be used this fall. Wonderful colorings and embroideries that hint of the east will be the safe choice for the woman who would buy now for a coming successful season in dress.
To Dye Faded Slippers
Old satin slippers may be successfully dyed. Light shades take the new color best. Blues and greens take splendidly on an old foundation of pink, yellow, light blue or lavender.
