Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV.IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COAL MINERS STRIKE VOL. XX. The Southern coal fields of Colorado are in the midst of a big strike, the full extent of which is hard to determine on account of the extremely different figures given out by the operators or mine owners and the representatives of the miners union. The figures of either, however clearly indicate that this is the biggest strike Colorado has had for many years and is very likely to assume larger proportions in the very near future by miners in other districts going on a sympathetic strike. The public at large is seldom in sympathy with the striker, first because the strike usually comes when it causes the greatest number of people and second because the public is of the opinion that strikes are for most part brought about by the continual agitation of unimportant matters by the officers of the unions. It is claimed that these officers reap their harvests during strikes and therefore advocate them constantly. But a fair impartial investigation would convince one that the heads of the unions are seldom responsible for strikes, but on the other hand that strikes are the result of dissatisfaction by a majority of the members of the union, who, failing to get conditions adjusted to suit themselves vote to go on strikes. The causes of the present strike briefly stated, are: the operators failure to recognize the union their failure to allow the miners to name their own weigher, their forcing the miners to trade at their stores and their refusal of a small advance in salary. It is without the shadow of a doubt the miners privilege to ask the operator for more money and better conditions, but whether the operators should grant them is a question which we shall not attempt to settle, but we are in favor of every man having his full share of freedom and compensation. The Negro in this as in all affair that of importance to the populace comes in for his share of the joys or sorrows, whatever the case may be. It seems that in this particular case it is going to be mostly sorrow. All of us use coal, many by the sack, some by the ton and a few perhaps by the carload, but we all use it and when the price goes up it brings great sorrow because our natures call for heat and to get this heat in Denver we have to burn coal. Aside from being a consumer of coal the Negro seems destined to play a conspicuous part in the strike now in progress as the operators are calling upon him to take the places made vacant by the strikers. If the miners unions have not taken him in and placed him on an equal basis, he is justified in acting as a strikebreaker. The unions have accomplished much and there is much more to be accomplished but we are of the opinion that the quickest way to accomplish the greatest amount of good is to recognize the brotherhood of man and take all people who have to work into the union. The Negro is the home of contention in all labor troubles but it is no fault of his. He is willing and eager to work and when the opportunity comes to work he takes advantage of it though it is in defiance of the labor unions that have ignored him. SHOULD PRACTICE GOLDEN RULE AT HOME The following letter, the writer of which signs the initials E. H., recently appeared in the Philadelphia Press: Sir.—I read in the columns of a Philadelphia evening paper of the Sth a note of warning from an unknown source, pointing out the danger in England's tolerance of the colored man in British isles. Assuming the author of the letter to be an American citizen and that his sentiments are already too widely indorsed. I feel justified in submitting the fact that if this nation's moral ideals were higher and its common sense kept pace with its material development none of its people would have cause to go elsewhere in search of life, liberty and happiness. History repeats itself. Human nature is always and everywhere the same. Therefore why discourage them in seeking relief from oppression when they are but following the example set by the Pilgrims, Puritans and Huguenots, who sought relief in this country from religious ane political persecution? The class of colored people who go abroad are of a higher order of intelligence than the horde of emigrants who flock here, and yet no note of warning is sounded against their coming. I think that all the world, America excepted, realizes the fact that the colored people have, on the whole, a creditable idea of moral responsibility and are, of all races, the least to be feared. State Hist & Nat Hist Socresg State House HIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO MILLION NEGROES EXPECTED IN NEW YORK ON OCT. 22 New York.—In connection with plans for the exposition in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation by Negroes of the United States and representatives from Hayti, Santo Domingo, and Liberia it is announced by the commission of mine Negroes appointed last May by William Sulzer that the $25,000 appropriated by the state Legislature, as well as large gifts from wealthy Negroes, has been spent by the commission in the furtherance of its work. One million Negro visitors are expected to be on hand when the exposition opens its doors in the Twelfth regiment armony, Columbus avenue and Sixty-second street Oct. 22 next. The purpose of the exposition is to show the industrial, educational, and religious progress, of the Negro race since its history began, in a general way, and in particular to illustrate the progress of the Negroes in the United States since Lincoln's proclamation 50 years ago. COLORED MAN ACCUSED OF RAPE ACQUITTED (Spartanburg Herald) Spartanburg, S. C., Sept. 21, 1913. At 12.15 o'clock yeste.day afternoon the jury in the case of Will Fair, who was alleged to have committed criminal assault on a 21-year-old white married woman who resided near Glendale on August 18, was acquitted of the offense. The jury had been out since Friday afternoon at 4:57 o'clock and their decision was awaited by a crowd of interested spectators. From authorized information, it seems that six of the jurors were for absolute acquittal and the other half dozen, while they were agreed that the Negro was innocent, desired to place the responsibility of his acquittal on another jury. They were evidently of the opinion that the audience in the courtroom were hostile to the prisoner, Will Fair, and they desired to protect him. When the foreman of jury, Joseph Lee, announced the verdict of the jury, Judge Gage said substantially as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury; In as much as you have had the courage to do your duty in this matter, I ought to have the courage to commend you for it. Time will show that your verdict is right. There are many things that cannot be proven in evidence, but when you sift this thing to the bottom you will find your face to have --- been set in the right direction. I discharge you." When the final verdict of the jury was rendered, announcing that Will Fair was a free Negro, with no stain of criminal assault on him as adjudged by 12 of his peers, the courtroom was crowded with interested spectators, but no demonstration was made. In fact, no disapproval was expressed when the Negro was released. NEGROES WIN FIGHT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN W. VA Wheeling, W. Va.,—Sept. 23. A complete victory was won by the colored people of the State, through their attorney, E J. Graham, Jr., in the effort to compel the counties to furnish schools for the colored children, when the writ of mandamus was brought up for argument before Judge Chas. C. Newman, sitting in Part I of the circuit court. The mandamus was issued on application of Attorney Graham in behalf of the colored people of Hancock County to furnish schooling for five minor children of Joshua Steel of Chester. Prosecuting Attorney Frank L. Bradley of Hancock County appeared before the court and stated in behalf of the School Board that they were willing to furnish places for all colored school children at once if the writ was withdrawn. Attorney Graham was willing to have the writ continued until the November term of court, in order to test the officials and this was agreed to by the prosecutor and court. This will mean that all colored children in the State will have to be provided with a place to attend school in the future. The prosecuting attorney of Hancock County blamed the trouble on the teachers of the country. (Colorado Springs.) BIRTHDAY STAG DINNER PARTY. The beautiful home of Mr. Frank E. Embry was the scene of the most enjoyable function given in this city for many years. Tuesday night Sept. 30th, Mr. Embry celebrated his 50th birthday by entertaining twelve of his gentlemen friends to a 8:30 p. m. sumpuntous dinner party. The dining room table was exquisitely decorated with autumn leaves, China asters and real cotton on branches, adorned the buffet. The table groaned under the heavy burden of the season's most appetizing eatables from the oyster soup, fried chicken, hot rolls, combination salad, all vegetables then in season, to the big 'angel food' birthday cake, pretty illuminated with 50 candles. The toastmaster, Mr. F. J. Loper introduced each guest most flatteringly, who toasted to the distinguished host's health, long life and continued prosperity. The host responded amid much merriment and applause. Mrs. Embry assisted by Mrs. Bedford, served the elaborate dinner and received much credit for the successful "stag." Those present: Dr. R. S. Grant, Mr. F. J. Loper, Mr. Leon Lester, Mr. H. C. Davis, Mr. Porter Simpson, Mr. Mc Bain, Mr. Wm. French, Mr. Chas. Williams, Mr. A. Bryant and Mr. Little-john. The host received many useful gifts.

St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 23.—On October 2, 3, and 4 Negro railway postal clerks from every section of the country will meet at Chattanooga, Tenn., when a national association will be formed. This step will be taken by the colored clerks in the employ of the United States railway mail service in view of a recent amendment to the constitution of the white organization, barring Negroes from membership as well as the clamor of white clerks for segregation. Colored clerks resent the drawing of the color line, and they are showing that there is no desire on their part to affiliate with the white clerks by organizing local leagues NO 5 among themselves in all large centers. There are some 1,800 Negroes in the United States railway mail service. Delegates to the Chattanooga convention will be chosen from the local leagues. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 24.—The fact that a coroner's jury exonerated from blame a white man, Chas. G. Guth, who had been charged with murdering his colored chauffeur, George A. Murphy has aroused the ire of the colored people of the city. The murder occurred last Thursday at the Guth home. The latter was placed under arrest. He alleged that the chauffeur had made ugly remarks to his wife after the latter had expressed a desire for him to clean some brass Against the statement of Guth was that of Mrs. Mary Moss, his colored laurdress, who alleged that Guth had first quarreled with his Bohemian cook and then went after Murphy for having milk left at the same time as that for the house hold. Murphy is said to have replied that he saw no impropriety in doing this, as he was paying for his own milk. A little argument followed, after which Guth fired the shot that killed the chauffeur. Mrs. Moss alleges not only was the man shot and fatally hurt, but that the whits man jumped on and kicked the prostrate body. Guth told the police that the colored man went after him with an ax. Following the murder the newspapers were filled with stories highly favorable to Guth, and the inquest Friday night only showed that Republican State's attorney and a Republican coroner were only too willing to turn Guth loose. The matter has stirred the race here and many condemnatory references were made in local pulpits Sunday. None of the white ministers referred to the killing, however, but one did urge that another segregation law be speedily passed. Byron's Freak Manner of Living. While Byron was in Ravenna, Italy, he adopted strange habits. It was his custom to rise at two in the afternoon, breakfast and ride, and dine at six. Then he would sit and talk until five or six in the morning. Or, if no company were there, he would write a bit of "Don Juan." But his life was like that of Aubrey Beardsley- upside down—the day was the night. Giving Them Warning At the annual picnic of a Manchester firm one of the packers was called upon after dinner to propose the toast to the firm. He was rather nervous, and began thus: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have very great pleasure in rising to propose the health of the firm, which will be very brief."-Manchester Guardian.

Secretary Houston of the United State Department of Agriculture, in an address before the American Road Congress at Detroit expressed his approval of the organization and explained the interest of the federal government with reference to road building.

Break From Brush Shelter and Seek Safety in the Mountain Paths as Guards Charge. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Walsenburg, Colo. — A hall of bullets from the rifles of twenty men concealed in the underbrush on the brow of a hill 400 yards northeast of the mine, whistled through the Oakview coal camp, seven miles west of La Veta, at 6:30 Monday morning. For thirty-five minutes the bullets ripped and tore their way through the houses of the non-union miners, throwing them into a frenzy of terror. A party of twelve guards charged the hill and drove the attackers into the foothills around Old Baldy mountain. One thousand bullets entered the camp. A Japanese boarding house was where the fire centered. Mor than forty bullets lodged in the side of the two-story building after the fusillade. Two other Japanese houses were riddled. Many ran for the cellar of the company's store and almost every cave in the camp became a refuge for the terror-stricken inhabitants. A few ran for the hills, rushing into the face of the fire. Among the dozens of narrow escapes was that of Michael Rech, clerk of the mine, who had just placed a book on the pay desk when it was torn open by a bullet. Several times the retreating men were sighted by the guards, but only for an instant. The pursuit ended at the foot of Baldy mountain, ten miles away, when the guards realized the marauders had reached a place where it was impossible to follow them. Adolph Germer, international organizer in charge of this district, said that the shooting was a "frame-up" on the part of the guards. Intense feeling has existed among the striking miners at Oakview because the company was able to retain about half of its working force when the strike opened. The feeling is principally against the Japanese workers. Strikers Beat Stable Boss.

W, Hartman, close friend of Andrew Carnegie, who died in a Denver hospital, left insurance policies valued at $50,000 to $100,000 payable to his wife and two sons. The body was taken to Altoona, Pa., for burial. Criminal libel is charged in the District Court at Cripple Creek in suits filed by William A. Kyner and Thomas A. Kyner, each asking $10,000 from L. A. Van Tilborg, Huse Taylor and W. S. Copeland. Mrs. George Stoddard was instantly killed when a bullet, accidentally discharged from a gun that fell from the table of a shooting gallery at the fair grounds at Grand Junction struck her in the breast, piercing the heart. The Grand Junction sugar factory will not be abandoned, following the construction of a new $600,000 factory at Delta, according to the announcement made by R. P. Davie, of the Western Sugar & Land Company. Accused of having gone to Eaton with Goldie Hooper, thirteen, and Mary Murphy, fifteen, J. M. Tracey, twenty-five, and D. V. Church, twenty-three, of Denver, were arrested, charged with contributing to juvenile delinquency. County Judge Rothgerber of Denver refused to admit to probate the will of the late Almira Maudlin, in which the aged woman left her entire estate to the Christian Science church; as a result the church will lose the $20,000 bequest. Six mounted deputies have been placed in the Boulder county coal fields by Sheriff Buster. The deputies are armed and have been given instructions to prevent the strikers from picketing and threatening the nonunion miners, and prevent the mine guards from leaving their stockades to transact business in towns or other places while armed. For the purpose of trying to originate a new variety of potato which shall be drought and blight resistant, F. Y. Moseley, in charge of the agricultural course which was lately made a part of the curriculum of the Greeley high school, has asked farmers generally to save him some of the small green knobs which appear on potato vines and which are known as "potato apples." Four women are in the race for the job of register of the United States land office to succeed Charles D. Ford whose term of office expires shortly, and even the wiseacres in democratic political circles concede that one of them stands a good chance of landing the plum. The four suffragist candidates are Mrs. Dora Phelps Buell, formerly secretary of the state bureau of immigration; Mrs. Alma Lafferty, Mrs. Katherine Williamson and Mrs. Mary Wolf Dargin, Walter Symon, nineteen, and Irving Davis, twenty, working the Dexter mine on Bull Hill at Victor, were crushed by a mass of caving rock in a stope. Davis suffered a fractured skull, a broken collar bone and internal injuries.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS During the last eight years the negroes in Macon county have built largely by their own efforts fifty-three schoolhouses, at a total cost of $40,000. Builders of these schools are to a large extent former slaves, plantation folk and their children, who had no interest in education and no training in organization of any kind. They came from the cotton and corn fields, where the only incentive to work was a generous lashing from the overseer's whip. They had no ideals of home, of personal comforts, least of all of planning and constructing school buildings. Where, before emancipations, save in exceptional cases, had the negro anywhere heard of designing a building, computing the cost of ground, of various kinds of material or of labor? His hut had been constructed under the computation and plans of his master; nay, even the food he ate and the one-piece garment which he wore cost him no concern. This was true all over the world as well in Macon county. Prior to 1905 nearly every negro school in this county was either a log cabin or a one-room cottage, with one or two wooden windows, one door, a rickety wooden floor or a dirt floor, as chance happened to will it; a leaky roof, decaying logs and blocks of wood, broken-backed chairs and benches for seats; these are the things that made up the edifice and surroundings for the children of the ex-slaves to get an education or a training for life. To many, this was good enough, far better than they had had, certainly; but to others it was wretchedness. And so arguments began to circulate. The people throughout the county were poor. Some few of them were just getting to their feet in the matter of land buying, but the masses were "share-croppers" or tenants. Now, it is in Macon county, it will be remembered, that Tuskegee institute is located. At one of the negro conferences Dr. Booker T. Washington had pressed very close home the matter of schoolhouses, justice to children, employing a teacher and lengthening the school team of four or five months by their own efforts. In a little while a cry had come up from a community known as Magnolia: "We want a new school! Help us!" "Help us" meant funds to a certain extent, but most of all it meant somebody with initiative, suggestion, encouragement—and the welding of factions. This last was especially troublesome. The rural colored man is the stanchest of partisans to his faith. A man of Baptist convictions is unwilling to build a schoolhouse anywhere save face to face with the Baptist church; so it is with a brother of the Methodist faith or of any faith. The people at Magnolia had raised some money, but how much they needed before they could break ground to build, how to go about discovering all this, they were at a loss to determine. Tuskegee institute sent down a man, a graduate of Fisk university, who had previous experience in dealing with community folk and in building schools. About half enough money had been raised to begin the work. An appeal to the people for more brought the response that no more would be raised; the people as a mass had lost interest. Faction troubles, religious and social, were boiling at a high heat. The teacher returned to Tuskegee reported to Dr. By far the longest "unscientific" boundary in the world divides us from British America. It cuts across mountain chains east and west, where nature has grooved the inevitable paths of men north and south; and the close neighborliness thus enforced by geography has thriven and ripened in vast trade, in common prosperity, in growing esteem. No fort frowns along this line, no navies confront each other on the lakes, where the example of disarmament by agreement has long been set for all the world. Aloysius Simms, colored, said to have recently celebrated his one hundred and third birthday, dropped dead while crossing a vacant lot between Railroad avenue and Sherman place, Anacostia, last week. Simms has been a resident of Anacostia most of his life. He resided with Mrs. Mary Williams and Mrs. Ann Covington, daughters, and leaves a number of grandchildren. He had been away from home only a few minutes when a message was received by his daughters that he had dropped dead. Great Britain imported 40,000,000 dozen eggs the first three months this year, as compared with 35,000,000 dozen the first quarter of 1912. The original forests of the United States contained timber in quantity and variety far exceeding that found on any similar tract in the world. American salmon in the fresh waters of Tasmania are prospering wonderfully. Some of them increased in weight from two ounces to four pounds in 21 months. Washington and awaited instructions. It chanced that a donor in the west had given several hundred dollars to be used in helping the Macon county rural schools. A part of this sum was placed at the disposal of the school's representative, with instructions to return to Magnolia and see what could be done. With this definite plan made out, the teacher returned. Said he to an audience at Magnolia: "A friend who is interested in you, who wants to see you build a school house and educate your children, has sent you some money, under certain conditions. That is, he will give you $50 for every $50 you raise until a sufficient sum is collected. Will you accept?" A message from paradise could not have been hailed with greater enthusiasm. That some friend was interested in them, wanted to see them get ahead and had sent them some money personally seemed almost too good to be true. In two months' time they laid down $100 to be covered by $100 from the donor, and work was begun. In six months from the time the representative went down from Tuskegee the school was finished and dedicated amidst shouts and tears of a people in mass, who had just finished their first lesson in the history of devising and constructing a schoolhouse. One of the main features of this lesson was that while wonderfully instructive in itself, it was also a great model exercise. Adjoining communities took courage — Clintonville, Brownsville, Rising Star, Notasulga, one after the other caught the vision of passing from a worm-eaten hut to a $600 or $700 building. Each went through its shoals of faction and misunderstanding, each got a little help and suggestion, but each played his part to the end. Another very interesting phase of this general school building was that it soldered the white and colored people closer together and won many a local white man to faith in negro education. Some, when the schools were dedicated, put their thoughts in writing. In a letter directed to C. J. Calloway, the director of Tuskegee institute extension work, the mayor of Notasulga writes: "It (the new rural school) is a credit to the town, and I feel sure that it will be the means of benefiting not only your race but ours as well. I am truly glad to see your people taking so much interest in preparing their young for the duties of citizenship." A committee of white people at Loachapoka, Ala., wrote: "We take pleasure in saying in behalf of the white citizenship of Loachapoka that we commend the assistance you have given your race in erecting a nice school building at this place," while another committee of the rural community of Auburn, Ala., says: "We, the white people of this community, wash to say to the friend that is helping the colored people through Booker T. Washington to build better schoolhouses and foster education, indorse and appreciate the aid given the colored people of this community. And this is the sentiment of all concerned." Thus in his new role the negro of Macon county is serving two gallant ends. He is educating himself in the larger duties of citizenship and is converting the white folks to faith in education of the negroes. In a French competition for $100,000 in prizes for the greatest inventions for safety in aviation, a Nova Scotia inventor will enter a parachute, folded on the tail of an aeroplane and attached to an aviator by harness. Through the medium of an agricultural bulletin, the government is endeavoring to bring about a reform in the matter of shipping eggs. Millions of dollars are needlessly lost in this manner annually. Sidon oval blood oranges from Palestine are the most prized in the world, according to a firm of fruit brokers in Liverpool, which is now importing nearly a million boxes of oranges into England. A complete wireless outfit is made to be carried on a trailer behind an automobile for special purposes, such as big sporting events where there happens to be no wireless station.

Improved sanitation methods introduced at the instance of an American have cut down the prevalence of malaria and other diseases in Jerusalem. PRAY FOR EDUCATION QUAKE ROCKS GOVERNOR NAMES SUNDAY NOV, 23 EDUCATIONAL DAY, Asks Pastors to Arrange Services to Aid in Promoting Mental and Physical Training of Children. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Clergymen of Colorado are asked to set aside the morning service on Sunday, November 23, 1913, for the consideration of the welfare of the schools of the state. That day has been designated as Educational Sunday by the governor, who asks the pastors of all congregations to arrange their services with an idea of promoting the mental, physical and ethical training of the children of the state. The governor's proclamation follows: Recognizing the necessity of universal education as the foundation of a democratic form of government and believing that recognition of personal obligation is no less needful to an efficient democratic organization of society; and further, recognizing the fact that all the churches of the state stand for the enlightenment of education. Now, therefore, I, Elias M. Ammons, governor of Colorado, do hereby designate Sunday the twenty-third day of November, 1913, as Educational Sunday, and request that clergymen of all denominations accordingly set apart the morning service of that day, or some portion thereof, for the consideration of the welfare of the schools, to the end that the mental, the physical and more especially the ethical training of the youth of the state shall be promoted. Given under my hand and the executive seal this twenty-sixth day of September, A. D. 1913. ELIAS M. AMMONS, Governor. Settlers to Open State Lands. Denver:—Settlers are to be attracted to Colorado by a publicity campaign showing just what land is open to settlement according to plans of Volney Hoggatt, register of the board. "We have received hundreds of requests for land from the East and Middle West," said Mr. Hoggatt, "and believe this the best way to get settlers." Mr. Hoggatt's idea is that the state land board should be a settler's bureau, obtaining persons to settle the unoccupied land. Several hundred thousand acres will be available following the foreclosure of land on which lessees are in arrears. The board notified all lessees who are in arrears that their leases will expire automatically in thirty days unless payments are made at once. Hoggatt says, there is $300,000 due the state in back payments. Eleven New Pharmacists Licensed. Denver—The State Board of Pharmacy has announced the results of the state examination. The new pharmacists licensed to practice in Colorado are: Edward E. Taylor, Pueblo; M. P. Kavanagh, Colorado City; Warley C. Pontius, Colorado Springs; Samuel Babat, Dwight W. Duke, James Seymour, James Graves Roberts, B. T. Finn, Herbert C. Schaefer, Russell K. Anthony and Andrew G. Cumber, Denver. To Initiate Law for Arbitration. Denver.-Laws making arbitration of industrial disputes compulsory, guaranteeing bank deposits and defining metalliterous mines, smelters and sugar-beet factories public utilities, and a constitutional amendment abolishing the present dual system of Legislation and substituting a single smaller body, will, it is stated, be initiated by the Direct Legislation league. State Able to Pay. Denver.—M. A. Leddy, state treasurer, expressed the belief that the state will be able to pay all first, second and third class appropriations made by the last Legislature. Although the state has not sufficient money on hand to meet all such appropriations, he thinks the revenue will be found ample to do so by the end of the biennial period. Will Probe Teachers' College Charges Denver.—State Auditor Kenehan wrote President Z. X. Snyder of the State Teachers' college that he expected to investigate the college at an early date, in line with petitions presented to himself and Governor Ammons. The auditor asked President Snyder's assistance. Tax Collected on 12,459 Autos. Denver.—Colorado has a total of 12, 459 automobiles and 2,400 motorcycles within its borders, according to figures compiled by the motor license department of the secretary of state's office. There are 1,978 paid chauffeurs and demonstrators in the state. Pearce Files Reply in Petition Suit. Pearce Files Reply. In Pettition Court.

GATUN LOCKS PERILED? SHOCK MOST SEVERE SINCE AMERICANS TOOK CHARGE OF CANAL ZONE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colon, Oct. 2.—A severe earthquake occurred here at 11:20 o'clock last night. The disturbance was of nearly a minute's duration. Houses were rocked and the entire population was thrown into a panic. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Thousands filled the streets and remained there in fear of the collapse of their houses. The earthquake was the heaviest within memory. A second slighter chock occurred at 11:40 o'clock. "The Gatun locks!" was on everybody's lips, but it was impossible to learn whether any damage had been done those. The disturbance began with a slow, oscillatory movement, which gradually became more marked. Houses swayed, clocks stopped and articles of furniture were thrown to the floor. Women rushed from their homes with children in their arms. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Two Shocks Felt. Panama, Oct. 2.—Two earthquakes of an intensity much more severe than any disturbance since the Americans took possession of the canal zone accured at midnight. They were felt from Panama City to Colon. The first shock, as experienced in the capital, was slight, and was quickly followed by one of longer duration which shook buildings to their foundations. The church bells were set to ringing, doors were thrown wide open and residents were brought tumbling out of beds. The first movement lasted about 5 seconds. It occurred about 11:20 o'clock. The second movement was of 10 seconds' duration. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. People at midnight were gathered in the streets. Jamaicans who went through the disaster at Kingston and Italians who have had similar experiences in their own country, were frantic. According to the seismograph there were two slighter shocks but these were practically unnoticed. The geenral movement appeared to be from west to east. Those familiar with earthquakes said the movement was more of an upheaval than vibration from side to side. There has been no severe damage to buildings, and no damage to the canal is so far reported.

Washington, Oct. 2.—Disaffection among Democratic senators which prevented yesterday final action on the tariff bill, was dissipated under the influence of a heated caucus discussion, and the caucus approved the bill as reported by the conference committee of the House and Senate. But six Democrats voted against approving the report. The caucus decided to abandon its position on the proposition in the bill to tax dealings in cotton futures and to leave the entire subject for later legislative action.

Never was there a time in the history of our race when thoroughly competent men and women were more desired. One hundred per cent men. We have a lot of forty, fifty and sixty per cent men, but par excellent, accomplished, thoroughly finished, proof test, prepared men are still at a preplished, thoroughly furnished, proof test, prepared men are still at a premium. Has it ever occurred to you when you look around for a qualified, strong, clean, reliable, intelligent man or woman, that this kind of article is very scarce? Much of our trouble is lack of this kind of material. If you will just investigate for yourself and go into examination among the present list of so-called best people you will be surprised. It is strange that our young men and women cannot or do not learn this one valuable lesson, that position, pay and promotion lie open to those who will fit themselves thoroughly to take responsible places and fill them with credit and honor. Employés, officers, places, high honors, promotions and noble careers are waiting for men of character and brains right here in Denver. A man thoroughly competent to do good, rapid, exact, careful work, thoroughly honest, industrious, punctual and frugal will rarely have to look far for employment. Work and wages will surely find him out and the laws of recompense and compensation will assuredly obtain in his favor. A bungler, a cobbler, a make-appear is certain to give place to a better. Men of affairs are constantly looking for the best, not a makeshift. The fault of incompetence may not have a distressing effect in the case of ordinary labor or hostler, but it assumes the proportions of crime when it reaches higher and more responsible positions. A stenographer has no right to expect employment when his or her work is not reliable and their speed and execution dextrous and correct. A position as private secretary calls for exacting pains for detail and alertness in anticipating the needs of employer. A clerical position in office or store or shop calls for thoughtfulness and exactness in computation and quick knowledge of figures and of buying and selling and operating cost. A clergyman has no right even to assume leadership in things spiritual when his life is steeped in ignorance and his mind uncultured by previous training, and so on through every profession and duty. The days of paid ignorance and incompetence are doomed in the land, the incompetent and unprepared, struggle as they may, must settle down to defeat. Even if their friends hold them up, those who require their services will object. The young men and women who would stem the current must make the preparation for the successful performance of duty. Apologists, trimmers, the makeshifts, get-bys, must mend their ways or go to the dump pile. The age clearly and certainly calls for one hundred per cent men, who will carry their end of the burden, do their share of the world's work, hold their own in competition, excel in comparison, meet new exigencies and win in the struggle. If you cannot meet these serious, trying, taxing conditions then do not wonder that you are distanced in the race. --- press me that it was useless engaging in the other branches to any great extent, as it seemed an allotment divine that any success must be brought about from the soil. But when this same gentleman lectured in Denver about three or four years ago in the People's Tabernacle, and struck one of the notes in the chord of your editorial, when he remarked with emphasis on his anotto in educating a man or woman to fill the highest possible position in art, science, or any other field that he showed aptitude for, then my heart was filled with pride, that slowly but surely our leaders were getting away from that consignment which is not at all inherent, but which is only being thrust on us by the other side, at the same time employing some of us as agents to carry out their sinister policy. In quoting the following paragraph: "The Negro is learning he must choose wisely and perform well to succeed in new lines; he has found an opening in literature, etc., and as he improves in the classies and in the arts he appears to find greater industrial tolerance." I must again offer my greatest thanks for your publication, as it helps one to keep intact and foster his idea, that the day is at hand when our colored journalists will publish articles, etc., that will fill not only the subseribers to their journals with inspiration, but imbue the race with aspirations and ambitions thereby tending to create a more human-like feeling between men, irrespective of class, creed or color. COMMENDATION FOR THE COLORADO STATESMAN. DEAR MR. EDITOR: Allow me a little space in your valuable columns to express my appreciation of your editorial issue of the 27th ult., the same entitled "Opportunity for Improvement," and to offer my heartiest congratulations that you (alike many of the other preachers, promulgators and disseminators of the old saying, "Negro, born of the soil, made for the soil and must necessarily attach himself as a fixity of the soil to achieve any success that will place him at par with other races") have been convinced and I take it concerted to the fact "that God made of one blood all men to dwell on the face of the earth," as the sacred writing puts it, and it logically follows that it is purely a matter of resolution, determination, tenaciousness and perseverance, and last but least time when one race of people will be and can be able to accomplish what the other has done. As an ardent admirer of Mr. Booker T. Washington in his good luck in being the recipient of large legacies for the support of his work in this country, I have followed his lectures both in propria persona as well as by the press, and after listening attentively to him on "Industrial Education" in Philadelphia before the Institute of the Academy of Science, not so many years ago, I began to be down-spirited, as I had some friends in Europe and Canada that were qualifying for the legal, medical and musical professions, etc., and the gist of the lecture seemed to im- V. P. HEWETSON-WATSON, 1112 Corona St. Denver. How to Enjoy a Real Vacation By JOHN D. ADAMS The best vacations I ever had, as a wage earner with a small margin above living expenses, lasted from noon on Saturday to night or Sunday. They were spent on a nondescript, flat-botomed, yawl-rigged boat appropriately christened "The Bummer." She had every defect known to navigators, professional or amateur, and we were treated to a variety of experiences in every twenty-four hours which it would be hard to duplicate in six months of ordinary cruising. Fortunately we were young and inexperienced in the ways of boats, and still more fortunately for the members of our families, who on the whole liked us, the sails of the Bummer were three sizes too small for her hull. Thus it happened that she was able to treat us to an unexamplied program of minor mishaps without capsizing and this, in fact, she never did. The Bummer finally ran aground in the dark and on a falling tide and my last view of her was by the light of a common or barn lantern as she perched ridiculously high and dry on the summit of a rock while we escaped in the tender. We cut loose from every care when we shipped our anchor and might have been sailing the South Seas, so remote were thoughts of work and of the nearby city. That is the great point about a vacation, whether it is long or short; whether it consists in motoring across the continent or sitting on the end of a wharf waiting for a nibble. You positively must forget that there is a past or a future and live in the present. If you can't loaf—and some otherwise sane persons can't—don't carry your daily task into your vacation. Ignore it. Work like a slave if you must, but forget that you ever had to earn a living. Everybody has to take his vacation with him when he goes to the country or the seashore. You can't buy insurance of a good time as you buy accident insurance with your railway ticket, nor can you purchase a vacation ready made no matter how much money you have. Neither do gimcracks count. A cheerful spirit is worth more than a complete sportsman's outfit and many bottles of rum. Just break away. And, since a vacation is chiefly a state of mind, it isn't necessary to go anywhere. I have known men who obtained all the respite from workaday cares their bodies and souls required by cultivating a garden patch. The backyard in bloom, with a few tomato plants and early beans on the side, is a solace from pretty nearly every trouble except earache, and a window box will do very well if neighbors and cats discourage more ambitious stirring of the soil. However, none of us is impervious to his surroundings and a change of scene is a great help to a vacation. For those of us who ride home from work on the running board of an electric car the best possible way to shift the scene is to escape the crowd, even if you have to go to bed to do it. Go to the ball game, by all means, but don't imagine after eleven exciting innings that you have had an outing. If you have taken the thirty-third degree in wisdom you won't read the newspapers while you are on a vacation and you will be surprised on your return to find what a number of interesting happenings you have missed. You will then realize, after you get back, that you have been away. You are a happy man if you have inherited a strain of gypsy blood and with it a genius for loafing. Yours is the real vacation. The world is open to you. With a rucksack on your shoulders, alone or with companions of like mind, you can trudge beyond the smell of gasoline, and the direction doesn't matter, for the destination is always pure satisfaction. John D. Adams Why do you cultivate your soil? How Moisture Is Retained in Soil By M. C. SEWELL, Agronomist Ohio College of Agriculture How Moisture Is Retained in Soil By M. C. SEWELL. Agronomist Ohio College of Agriculture The moisture in the soil is held around each individual granule of the soil in a light layer or film. This film is kept intact by two forces which are scientifically known as cohesion and adhesion, and the effects of which are very difficult to break. If we think of the soil as made up of layer upon layer of these little particles, surrounded by water, we can readily see that as the sun's rays shine down on the earth's crust the upper film of water will gradually evaporate. As it evaporates it has the tendency to replenish its quantity from the layer immediately beneath or adjacent to it, and thus keep a layer of water-surrounded particles on the surface. If this was allowed to continue it would not be long before the earth would lose its moisture content, and plants would then be unable to live. Here is where our tilling operations are brought into use. By breaking up the top layers of the soil the connection is broken between the upper and lower layers, so that the water from one of the under particles cannot be passed to encircle the particle above it. In this way the dust mulch continually stirred, keeps the water below the stirred layers and furnishes plants with the moisture they need. The contact between the particles is not restored until the area is visited by a substantial rainfall, which saturates the upper layers and renews the original processes of passing the water from particle to particle. Opinions differ as to the advisability of retaining in the service men whose years may have begun to put tell-tale signs on their features and general appearance. It may be said, however, that Great Economic Waste in American Plan By R. G. WEATHERBY Opinions differ as to the advisability of retaining in the service men whose years may have begun to put tell-tale signs on their features and general appearance. It may be said, however, that many employers in these days are thinking twice before they sacrifice the experience and intelligence of the long-time employee in exchange for the less well directed vigor of younger men. A trade publication presents an illuminating example with pertinent comments. "One phase of the efficiency of a conservative policy that now is getting serious attention is that of conserving the skill and experience of employees," it says. "A remarkable example of this form of efficiency is to be seen in the leather factories of Cornelius Heyl, in Worms, Germany. Of 4,922 workers and officials in the Heyl factory 1,880 have been in the employ of the firm ten years or more, 892 in employ twenty-five years or more, 122 for forty years or more, and 21 for fifty years or more. More than one-third of the employees have been with the firm more than ten years and more than one-sixth for a quarter of a century or more. "An American expert brought face to face with these figures for the first time would be apt to exclaim that if he were running the Heyl establishment he would clean out the dead wood and get in a lot of bright young men. This would be natural.

Brick Couldn't Feaze Him A negro stopped a brick at Washington the other day, after it had fallen ten stories and was traveling with the velocity of a cannon ball. When the brick hit William Moore, the negro, on the top of the head, the brick broke into bits. Moore sat down suddenly and apparently was a subject for the coroner. Workmen sent hurriedly for a physician, but before he arrived Moore sat up. "Whut d'ye want to do that for?" he demanded angrily of a workman. Examination of Moore revealed that all he suffered was a headache. Art and Common Sense. It is of no use to spend money by the handful on the arts unless it is done with common sense and a love of those arts. The arts are stronger than ourselves. We must serve them faithfully. If we talk in an impudent manner about "elevating" an art we are only giving ourselves away and showing our ignorance. No one can "elevate" the dramatic art unless he can and will write a play higher than "Hamlet" or "Faust" and surpassing the Greek dramatists.—A. E. F. Hornlman. Byron worked fast. He once told a publisher that he was like a tiger, and if he missed his first spring went "grumbling back to his lair." Many of his works were written at fever heat when the first spring did not miss. "The Corsair" occupied ten days, and two rainy days at Ouchy were sufficient to produce the "Prisoner of Chillon." The "Bride of Abydos," though revised afterward, was at first the work of only four nights, and most of his poems, in fact, were impromptus.

This Oil Can Be Used by People from 1 Year to 70 Years Old Rocky Mountain Athletic Association It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the bylaws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now building. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. 10:00 The pool and billiard room is high class. To those who have never played upon the famous Wellington tables with Monarch cushions, a game upon these tables would be a revelation.

EXPECTED TO RAISE SUM OF $82,298,000 All Who Get $3,000 or Over Must Report Their Incomes—Now Is the Time to Begin Accurate Accounts, as New Law Will Cover Receipts From March 1, 1913—Failure to Report will Be Punishable by a Fine—Methods of Collections Provided. INCOME TAX SCHEDULE. $3,000 to $20,000.....1 per cent $20,000 to $50,000.....2 per cent $50,000 to $75,000.....3 per cent $75,000 to $100,000.....4 per cent $100,000 to $250,000.....5 per cent $250,000 to $500,000.....6 per cent More than $500,000.....7 per cent Washington.—According to estimates completed by the treasury experts, 425,000 American citizens must keep such accurate account of their incomes this year that they will be able to report to the income tax collector next spring exactly how much they owe the government under the new income tax law. So far as the taxable American is concerned, the income tax law is now practically in force against him. While the tariff law in which the law is embodied will not be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made to the internal revenue collectors before March 1, 1914. But when the returns are made they will cover the income of citizens from March 1, 1913, to December 31, and the first payment of tax will be for money received during this period. Every single person (citizen or foreign resident) whose annual income exceeds $3,000, and every married person with an income above $4,000, is expected to report his or her receipts in detail to the government agents March 1 of each year. To Produce $82,000,000. The estimate completed indicates that the income tax will produce $82,298,000 from the 425,000 persons taxed. To this will be added the $35,000,000 or more produced by the present corporation tax, which is continued as part of the law. President Wilson, the federal judges of the Supreme court now holding office and employees "of a state or any political subdivision thereof," are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The president and judges now in office were made exempt to escape any questions of the constitutionality of the law, and their successors in office will be compelled to pay the tax. First Burden is on Citizen. The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months, as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report his income is punishable by a fine. It is admitted that when first returns are made many taxable persons probably will escape payments, but with each year the government's lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete. Methods of Collecting Tax. Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law. One is that the individual return made by the citizen; the other the returns by corporations and other employers who pay their employees' taxes "at the source." Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess of the $3,000 figures, and will pay the taxes for its employees and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes. This "payment at the source" will apply to salaries, rents, interests, royalties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and persons receiving such incomes must be prepared to show that the money has paid its tax at its source. In figuring up his net income for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3,000 for himself, or $4,000, if married, will have the right to claim the following additional exemptions: Necessary expense of carrying on business, not including personal, living or family expenses. Interest paid out of indebtedness. National, state, county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses, or storm or fire losses, not covered by insurance. Worthless debts charged off during the year. A reasonable allowance for the depreciation of property. Dividends from companies whose incomes have already been taxed. Interest from state, municipal or government bonds. Must be Entire "Net Income." It is a clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his entire "net income," and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax, as finally agreed upon, follows: From $3,000 to $20,000, 1 per cent.; from $20,000 to $50,000, 2 per cent.; from $50,000 to $75,000, 3 per cent.; from $75,000 to $100,000, 4 per cent.; $100,000 to $250,000, 5 per cent.; $250,000 to $500,000, 6 per cent.; above $500,000, 7 per cent. A single man with an income of $25,000, for example, would pay 1 per cent on $17,000 and 2 per cent on $500, a total tax of $270. If married, the first tax of 1 per cent, would apply to only $16,000 of the income. Ready to Answer Questions. The treasury department is preparing for a flood of questions about the new income tax, realizing that this feature of the tariff bill about to become law strikes more intimately at the tax paying citizen than do the indirect taxes collected through the customs duties. One of the first steps taken to get general information before the public will be to distribute income tax blanks through postoffices, internal revenue officers, and other federal agencies. However, the fact that he does not receive a blank or a request to pay the tax will not exempt a taxable person from the penalties of the law. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who drew the income tax provision of the tariff bill which will soon become law, made public a detailed explanation of the tax plan as it will touch the individual citizen. "The treasury regulations soon to be prepared will make clear to every taxpayer the requirements of the law and its application to income derived from the various kinds of business." Mr. Hull said. "Any person who keeps familiar with his business affairs, during the year should have no difficulty in executing his tax return. How Tax Is Divided. "The income tax is divided into two phases, the 'normal' tax of one per cent. on the whole income above $3,000, and the additional tax that begins with an extra one per cent. above $20,000 and is graduated to six per cent. above $500,000. Wherever the income tax is paid 'at the source' by a corporation for its employees or in similar cases, only the one per cent. normal tax is so paid." "The individual has to pay any additional tax himself. The provisions of the law requiring the tax to be withheld at the source does not take effect until November 1, 1913. "For the first year the citizen will make return to the local internal revenue collector before March 1, 1914, as to his earnings from March 1, 1913, to the end of this year. The collector will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid by June 30. After next year the tax will apply on the full calendar year. "If the income of a person is under $3,000, or if the tax upon same is withheld for payment at the source, or if the same is to be paid elsewhere in the United States, affidavit may be made to such fact and thereupon no return will be required." Covers Incomes of All Citizens. "The tax covers all incomes of citizens of the United States, whether living here or abroad; those of foreigners living in the United States, and the net incomes from property owned or business carried on in the United States by persons living abroad. "The net income includes all income from salaries or any compensation for personal services; incomes from trades, professions, business, or commerce; from sales or dealings in personal property or real estate; from interest, rent, dividends from securities; for all business carried on for gain. "Bequests will not be considered income, nor will life insurance paid to a beneficiary or returned to the insured person as a 'paid up' or 'surrendered policy' be taxable. Interest on such property will be included as income, however. "The amount that may be deducted from a total income includes the cost $82,298,000 How Tax Is Divided. of carrying on business, actual losses, depreciation allowances, and tax exempt or tax paid money. Living expenses cannot be deducted, nor can money spent for permanent improvements to property. Forms to Be Ready Soon. "The form that is to be filled out by the taxpayer will be drawn up soon by the commissioner of internal revenue. The taxpayer will have to give his gross revenue and then specify and claim the deductions to which he feels entitled. "Unless a man's income tax is 'paid at the source' he must hunt up a tax blank, fill it out, and see that it finds its way to the proper federal official in his district before March 1, 1914. "Firms, corporations, and the like having the handling of interest, rents, salaries, or other portions of the income of any citizen are compelled to deduct the tax for the individual and pay it to the government. The individual then will receive a receipt showing he has paid his tax." WEALTH IN MIDDLE WEST Investigations by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Reveal Large Fortunes There The commissioner of internal revenue made public the estimates on incomes for the middle west. These estimates show that far more wealth is distributed in Illinois outside of Chicago than in the city. The commissioner of internal revenue is inclined to believe the reports are so far from correct that he will not use them to any extent in his plans for the collection of the income tax. According to his statement, 12,000 citizens of Chicago have incomes ranging from $3,000 to $20,000 per year, while 12,800 citizens of the Eighth district, which has its headquarters in Springfield, have incomes within this scope. Only 5,000 individuals in the Fifth district, with headquarters at Peoria, are listed. Likewise in Indiana there is a great variance in districts. The collector for the Sixth district reported over 20,000 taxable incomes, and the collector for the Seventh district reported only 6,000. Large Fortunes In Iowa Iowa's incomes will be largely taxed, the collector for that state reporting nearly 17,000 taxable fortunes. Wisconsin has a few over 10,000, Michigan close to 12,000, and Minnesota about 4,000. A feature about the Minnesota income estimate is that the collector declares there are 150 men in the state with incomes upwards of $100,000 annually, while in Chicago the collector reported only 35 persons with incomes above the $100,000 mark. Large fortunes seem to predominate in Minnesota, for there are 1,000 men rated with incomes between $20,000 and $50,000, as against 500 in Chicago and 1,000 in the whole state of Illinois; 500 with incomes between $50,000 and $100,000, as against 175 in Chicago and 275 in Illinois, and 150 over $100,000, as against 50 in Illinois. Indiana and Michigan are also reported as having large income bearing fortunes over the $20,000 mark. Figures for the Middle West. The following table shows the various taxable incomes in six middle west states: ILLINOIS. $3,000 to $20,000 to $50,000 to Over $20,000 $50,000 $100,000 $100,000 First dist... 2,000 500 175 30 Fifth dist... 5,000 Eighth dist... 12,900 200 50 16 Thirteenth... 9,000 200 50 16 INDIANA.

Since the opening of this season 219 live foxes of various hues including silver gray, valued at $320,000, have been shipped from Edmonton to points in eastern Canada and the United States for breeding purposes. Included in this lot were ten young black foxes which were sold to a New York firm for $30,000. Many young foxes die soon after capture. Several black pups have died after being sold for $1,500 to $2,500. A western raw fur company which has been supplying the eastern markets with young live foxes announces that it will discontinue the eastern shipments, having decided to establish a farm in western Alberta, where 40 foxes are already domiciled. A decrease of 25 to 50 per cent, has taken place in the prices paid for these animals, which is attributed to the large number which have been supplied from the northern country of Alaska, Yukon territory, and the northwest territories. The supply has been plentiful because the young foxes were dug out of their holes before they were able to escape. In a short time the young foxes will leave their dams and it will then be impossible to catch them otherwise than singly in traps, and the prices will probably rise. The Winner. Senator Key Pittman was talking in Tonapah about two lobbyists who had quarreled. "But there's no fear," he said, "of their malming or mutilating one another. They are like Bluff and Stuff. "Who came out ahead," a man asked, in that street row between Bluff and Stuff? "Stuff did," was the answer, 'but he had half a street's start.'"

Now sprays of small flowers, or dots or little figures are done in fine careful embroidery at the front of the waist. Further decoration is added by means of fine tucks and narrow insertions of lace. A batiste waist is pictured hero with very narrow Val lace and sprays ot small embroidered daisies furnish- ing its decoration. The Val lace is not so durable as Cluny or torchon, but if laundered carefully at home ‘will last as long as the batis‘e. Bat- iste is the daintiest of fabrics for these wash waists. Nothing else will look quite so fine. e There is nothing more elegant than these hand-embroldered blouses. It is a pleasure to think that any wom- an who embrolders can provide her- self with the finest of them at: very little outlay, If bought, one must pay for the handwork, and this brings the price up to an extravagant point— say from five to fifteen dollars. With- out doubt the same waist can be made by the capable needlewoman for two or three dollars. Mrs, Mil- lonaire can't have anything better, because there isn't anything more ele- gant or more dainty than a well-made hand embroidered blouse. If one has time to make numbers of them, batiste is a good choice of material. But for wear and tear, voile in fine, strong quality will stand the strain. IB ROURGS (that really blouse), like nearly all the belongings of wom: en, are best liked in filmy materials Cumbersome clothes are in retreat; everything has to be soft and clingy, and nearly everything must be sheer. Some people are much scandalized at this liking for filmy stuffs, but in blouses it must be conceded that such fabrics make up into the most refined apparel that can be imagined. Voile has proved to be the most durable of thin fabrics. It is used “ee . ae a eeeetr ge f, es 4 oy aA » e ie : ws ie ie ae % 3g | AY ee ae ee Bath Bags.

The bag may be used several times if dried after each using. therefore In place of mull and batiste for waists which must stand much laundering. It is splendidly reliable. Strong laces (Cluny and torchon, or Irish crochet) are used in trimming these yolle waists, and hand embroid- ery is worth while on a fabric which gives such good wear.

Speaking of waists, we must note that the small waist is decidedly out of fashion. It is this fact that has brought about the tremendous yogue of sashes. They do not define the waist line, they conceal it. Their pur pose is to belong to the figure above and below the waist and to Igngre the waist line so far as defining it is com cerned. They show a great advance in popular taste, for this management of the waist is far more beautiful than the hard and fast lines of a few years back. Plaid ribbons and plain ribbons (or sashes of silk) trimmed with plaid are, more than any other, in keeping with cloth gowns. The plaids of the season are subdued and rich. By-all means prepare to supply your wardrobe with a variety of sashes, for they are the reigning favor- ite among all accessories of dress. ‘The management of the waist is a new art, a new world to conquer, and it has just dawned upon the feminine mind. What will come of it remains to be seen, but you may be sure that whether you have under consideration a toilette for morning, noon or night the sash is the thing you can't leave out. In fact it is quite likely that milady of fashion will begin by choosing a sash and finish by buying @ gown to go with it. ‘There {s nothing haphazard about all this. The sashes designed for ‘wear with cloth-gowns and those de- ‘signed for gowns of filmy materials ‘differ quite as much ds the fabrics they are to go with. Also, the per- sonality of the wearer must be con- sidered, and the style she wishes to affect must be studied. Happily intul- tion is often a very safe guide. An- other consoling thing is that the sash 4 not an extravagant fad. It is splen- ‘didly effective and adds a suggestion of splendor quite beyond {ts actual cost. L JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Tess iceeeeiae ines cea signs in sashes that they have to be classified and named. Those de signed to be worn with one-piece cloth gowns are made ready to adjust and are fastened with hooks and eyes. The one-piece cloth gown (with con: siderable lace and chiffon in the bod- lee) is crowding the separate blouse and becoming at least equally popular for ordinary wear. But sashes de ‘signed for wear with blouse and skirt, and those to be worn with one-piece ‘gowns, differ considerably. / Plaids, Roman stripes and brocades are favored for cloth gowns, although there are plenty of plain sashes fin ished with touches of plaid or bor dered with velvet ribbon. A very popular sash is made of plain satin, shaped at the ends and lined. Hand embroidered flowers or conventional designs make the handsomest finish for these. Such sashes are made usually without loops. Recent de signs show sashes of velvet ribbon with embroidered roses applied to ‘them. ‘These roses are cut out from ribbons or bands manufactured for the purpose, and the roses are sewed to the velvet with an appropriate em: broidery stitch or a buttonhole stitch Short sashes of brocaded ribbons are liked for cloth gowns. They are wide and there is a liking for a flat bow as a finish, worn at the front. But there is absolutely no rule as to how the sashes and girdles, which are so prominently featured in the season's styles, shall be worn. ‘They wander about the figure in any direc tion the wearer wills and fasten at any point that it pleases her taste to choose. ‘The Roman girdle is made of heavy, soft ribbon in brilliant stripes It 1s adjusted about the waist, easily ex tending above the normal waist line and finished with a flat, shirred bow. There 1s an occasional exception to this method of finishing, however. For slender people a bow of three loops fastening at the left side helps to fill out ‘he figure and enlarge the Te PHONE MAIN 61 23—Day or Night RESIDENCE PH ONE YORK 7992. PARLORS, 1830 ARAPAHOE ST.
